Handy, but I still like memorization of everything from multiplication tables to formulas. I was taught to derive formulas in trig and calculus, and I understood the complete process because of that. Sometimes, when I got into the later calc classes, it was hard. But I did extra problems until I “saw” the problem.
I’m guessing they may not require all that now. Also, in the one chemistry class I had, I couldn’t afford the allowed programmable calculator. I got my son, freshman in high school, to drill me as we drove to school. I made the only A in class, and he made an A the next year when he too chemistry in high school.
I believe that learning to solve mathematical problems teaches reasoning and problem solving. It’s good for teaching kids a lot more than math.

For 9s I was taught this trick. Hold up ten fingers, palms facing you. For 9 x 2, bend your index finger down, and count the digits on both sides of the gap. 1 and 8. For 9 x 3, bend your ring finger on your left hand down, and count the fingers left and right. (3 and 6). For 9 x 5, bend your pinky finger on your left hand, and see 4 and 5.

And yet there are other sources that say a detective who knew Jack said that, not Ozzie.More obfuscation. One thing about the assassination that sticks with me is how much of the action and how many of the actors come right back to New Orleans. It fascinated me and over the years I’ve been to every place mentioned in the investigations and to the assassination spot in Dallas.
Interesting thing is that a few years back someone in the NOLA DA’s office leaked Jim Garrison’s files on his investigation’ There was a witch hunt, a likely suspect was uncovered and the City wanted to hang him under a number of laws. For files that were thirtyish years old and containing tidbits on players mostly long dead the DA’s office fought tooth and nail to keep them buried. Now, probably after being well picked over, they are now in the National Archives.

With things like the Kennedy assassination, Sandy Hook, and others, we can at least take solace in Paul’s 1st letter to Corinth’s church.
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” 1 Cor. 13:12 (KJV)
I’m not saying that it is bad to try and research these things — CTH and Reddit should have existed in 1965, and there would be no mystery at all, or hardly at all.
We still don’t know how Mike Brown was trained to do what he did and why Anthony Shaheed and the MSM were on scene on the knoll before the cops even put up the police tape, and exactly who Tracy Martin was working with in his well-to-do Pseudo-Masonic organization of influential, wealthy black “leaders” when he got his violent son bused up to Sanford.
We will know these details, someday. I don’t dig into the Kennedy thing or the Sandy Hook thing any more, because the signal-to-noise ratio is high. Too high. Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus trilogy made good points about this. There is no way of knowing how much of what we see when we dig into this rabbit hole is intentional dis-information, and muddying of the waters and red herrings.
I’m patient, though.

A kid working at my former place just asked for my advice.
He said that the sprayer hose at the dish tank won’t stop spraying.
I could fix it in ten minutes. It needs to be disassembled and cleaned.
I told him to look at it, closely, and figure it out. System D.
I also told him where all the quarter-turn shut-off valves are located in the basement, since the ones under the dish tank are those useless oval pressed pot-metal ones that break when you try to turn them.

No, Impeach.

And I showed him how to do it, while we both got it done, and re-assembled the sprayer. Now he knows where the water mains in the restaurant are, too.
That’s how He directs my path. I didn’t get paid for those two hours. The kid did.
And now he, and former bossman knows that, because we both did this under my patient tutelage, that the spring behind the button is broken, and that it needs to be ordered from Sysco.

Dear Linda, if Allah created all, knows all and is all powerful why doesn’t she just snap her fingers and save all the muss, fuss and bother?

I cannot help but think the DM s lying about the aims of these protestors.
I believe they are nationalists, and against Globalism because of what has been done to them, via Muslim invasion facilitated by their government, and not just your typical “anti-corporate” types. They may be “anti-corporate” and “anti-Globalism”, but only because of what has been done to them. Look at the pictures! They’re all Germans. All of them.
And the Daily Mail (and probably most MSM) basically calls them “Occupy Wall Street” folk.
Why would you dislike a government that dislikes it’s own citizens and wishes to dilute and replace them all with new ones from other cultures, against the wishes of its own citizens? Who would possibly dislike a government like that?
But no, this is only Anti-Corporate, and nothing else.
Bull cookies.

Europe’s had an ocean of nutjob protestors for over 50 years, disaffected youth who were coddled and educated by progs. They joined various protest groups, heavily Communist until Russia imploded, and their spawn are now keeping up the family tradition. I knew a lot of Germans who, in the 70s and 80s, would like to have repalced the water cannons with real cannons but whatcha gonna do?
Maybe the various white-bread anarchists/nihilists/nutjobists will run into Islamo nutjob protestors and they’ll start eliminating each other.

Real cannons would definitely cut back on the number of protesters.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen
