Disagree with your underlying assertion that students do not read nonfiction books. Your textbooks are nonfiction.
In terms of more "classic" nonfiction materials, j don't think it's a very important skill. Something like Anne Frank's diary or Night can definitely be powerful, but I don't think reading a secondary source on the American civil war has any more value for a student than a chapter in a textbook.
Isn't mumble hot garbage? My planet side outfit memes on it whenever it gets brought up.
Nope, it is regular coffee grounds, but usually they're using terrible beans. You can actually get nice third wave pods, but there's only so much better beans can do if your brewer isn't doing its job well.
Sort of. You want an even extraction most of all, and while their grinders are probably pretty good, the water coming in doesn't saturate the grounds evenly and isn't a consistent temperature.
They're very poor brewers, but most people like that sort of grimy mass market coffee flavor. Or just want caffeine and feel weird about taking tablets.
Respectfully, I'd consider large parts of Canada to be undeveloped. I'm not trying to throw shade or anything, there's just a lot of Canada to develop.
The same is true to a lesser degree in the US and most other very large nations.
Most people in developed countries have internet that can support HD resolutions, yes. Mine even does, and our building's wiring is original to the 50s.
I'd teach them once they are old enough to understand it on a technical level, as well as the potential consequences.
And I find your comparison to sex ed very strange. Sex is something they will do with huge consequences if they fuck up. They need to understand it, and they need to understand it early.
That's your entire country. This is just Texas.
Median income here is in the mid $60's. I'm definitely poor, but I do save some money.
I live alone, and cook basically all my meals. Eating out and processed foods from a grocery store are both too pricey for more than once or twice a month. Mostly buy meat and fresh produce because carbs tend to give me stomach issues in large amounts.
Unfortunately, I am disabled. So while I have insurance, I cannot afford to see a specialist as regularly as I should. To be fair, this is out of network and like $700/month on top of my existing premiums and HSA contributions.
If nothing too crazy happens in the next year, I'll be able to change jobs and get my medical care back in network, meaning I don't need to ration doctor's visits for my disability. If nothing happens in 2 or 3, I'll have my emergency savings in a very good place. If nothing happens in 5, I might pay cash for my next car.
After that, fuck it. I'll be financially stable, I'll have another decade before I have a planned major expense like a car, and home ownership is a pipe dream here anyways. Last I looked, they start around $400k, which would mean coming up with about $180,000 for my down payment lol
Edit: Since you brought it up specifically, my rent and utilities is about $1200. I live in a very old building in a shitty neighborhood. The jail is right across the street, so there's enough of a police presence to keep it safe. It is clean, but my landlord is fucking terrible and I have to sue or threaten to sue to get anything fixed.
Its possible in this one, it just isn't easy, takes a while, and generally isnt super pleasant.
When people say to "live within your means", they don't mean "don't spend more than you make", they mean "save enough to maintain your financial security".
It used to be a standard thing that young people said to express disapproval.
"Ms Johnson said I can't make up the homework I missed because I forgot my bag yesterday."
"Sorry bro, that's gay."
