Pac 12... 11... 10... 9... 8... 7...6...5...4... POOF!

Catholics are greedy bastards?

 

Along with a Rav4, I have a pedal assist Ebike I bought for 2K a year and a half ago. I primarily use it to commute to work (11 miles each way) about half the year from April through September/October. It takes about 30 minutes each way which is only 10 minutes or so longer then driving as it's a more direct route on the bike paths. It is so much more enjoyable then my driving route of stoplights and freeway. While I don't consider it exercise, it does get the blood moving so I arrive at work alert and ready to go. A normal road bike wouldn't work as I'd arrive inappropriately sweaty. The odometer just went over 2,500 miles which means by Oct 2024 or so the bike will have paid for itself in gas savings alone. Along with leaving a significantly smaller carbon footprint then operating my car, it is a quicker way to run local errands as there is no hunting for parking.

Count me among the Americans that love having one.

STOMP

 

Thats more than my sons paid for a whole year at Oregon.
How much of that is out of State cost?

 

Private and non resident tuition is ridiculous. There is basically zero reason to go out of state for college unless you get scholarships.

Priceless.

 

Here is what they are working on. I agree they need to add on but a second deck isn't really feasible.

 

The crazy part is that people who have never even tried to go to college have a problem with people who are bringing up this issue and are fighting for ways to fix it.

 

Only if we can find kids that are good at building with them and don't leave them laying around for me to step on at night with my bare feet.

 

LOL

@BillFarleyPhD and his 200 followers from Montana has his finger on the pulse of what's going on inside Nike.

 

So all the WCC schools….Gonzaga/USF/Pepperdine etc., are about the same costs. Around $50,000 a year + room and board and fees. There are no “in state or out of state”…..all the same for everybody. So our daughters is $78,000 a year +books. She said she learned a way on Tik tok where these students all share books….we’ll see how it works for her.

 

The only problem is in some institutions you need to have a receipt or proof of purchase to get into the class system portal that allows you to submit your class work and get graded. I hope she is successful.

 

Brother, thanks to blond haired blue eyed baby Jesus she is.
After graduation, of the $312,000 due, she/we will owe about $12,000. MM, when they sent us the numbers, my wife and I actually broke down in tears FAMS! Don’t know how people could send their kids to institutions like that without major help. Just so excited she’s going to get all the chances and advantages I never had.

 

Haven’t thought of that….will definitely research, thanks.

 

That’s how they get you. The new book comes with a login and you can’t buy just the login. You could at one time. It’s a total racket.
