I consider logarithms to be more advanced than basic. I never saw them until I got in College. Then I never really understood what I was doing, I was just mechanically doing them. I can honestly say that never once in my 55 years since then have I ever uttered the words, "Damn I wish I had paid better attention in Logarithms class".

Exactly. I may need to be able to calculate the sale price of an item, or square footage of my yard, etc. But beyond the basics, there is little need for most of the math I did in high school. I have never used the pythagorean theorum or sine/cosine, etc, outside of math class. It's just not something you need in daily life unless you are going to be an engineer, or maybe an architecht or something that is specifically math-oriented.I consider logarithms to be more advanced than basic.

There hasn’t been a song this overplayed and this annoying since “What Did the Fox Say” 
Luckily, due to T’s age, I didn’t have the Baby Shark madness.. but this may be worse..
T plays it on loop, his friends all sing it, I just had a car ride with two 10 year old boys who didn’t stop. 10 minutes felt like 2 hours.
Apparently it’s a 12 year old boy who uses a voice changer, and loves Fortnite, hence the video. Don’t ask me how my son even know this.

I think because I have a Suburban my experience may be different. It is technically a truck and is built a bit better than a regular car. At least I think so. Knock on wood haven’t had issues.

Never heard it and didn’t play it. God forbid it gets stuck in my head.

Quite disillusioning! I have publicly stated that kids today are generally smarter the we were, but I take it back. If that passes for entertainment now I give up all hope. Is there a hidden message that we "elders" just aren't picking up on?

My mom and the Buick Enclaves...ugh. The last one that they had just had so many problems. They traded it in and got a new one two days before I got my Civic (literally, they signed the papers on a Tuesday...I signed mine on a Thursday). She's already had issues with the sunroof leaking. My dad's Lacrosse has had electrical issues; it's only six years old and has had the issues for a while now. They're like, "Oh cars are just going to have issues!" I'm like, maybe they shouldn't?
Oh well. They're GM car people and have owned nothing but GM cars since my mom got rid of her Ford Pinto (oh, I love teasing her about that one; it was a hand-me-down, though). Although we had an Infiniti out in Hawaii last year and my dad liked it so much that he said he'd be willing to look at those. I was shocked. And that was after he couldn't find the windshield wipers and I had to tell him where they were.

I think that's worse than Baby Shark. I was thinking that could possibly be another one to turn on at random on the Echos to annoy my mom...but nope, I'm not that mean.

Ugh. I seem to recall now that you mention it that my grandma didn't learn how to drive because her father (who was an alcoholic and just an overall jerk) said women didn't need to learn how to drive. My grandfather differed on that opinion and taught her how once they were married.
It's hard to believe that attitudes existed like that not that long ago. Of course, I still remember the first time it hit me where I was like, "Oh my gosh, I am a woman" and the meaning really hit me. I was at Freshman orientation at my predominantly female school. They sectioned you off by major. I went into my business administration orientation...to find I was the only woman there. Business administration was heavy on management courses and finance. I found out later that a lot of girls didn't want to do that. A lot were in business communication, which was more marketing, graphic design, and English classes, with watered down finance classes. Years later, that was the pattern. More men than women in my core classes. Balanced in the rest, more women in the non-major classes. I got such stares from the men in that room. Especially when I was pulled out five minutes in because I was in the honors program and was taking different classes than they were.
Eventually there were some more women in my major. I graduated ahead of schedule, so I was with the class ahead of me for a lot of things, and then some others eventually came over after being undecided or whatnot, but it still blows my mind that in the past decade, the scenario was that women weren't signing up for a more management/finance heavy course load. It's like they'd been told that they could be doctors and scientists, but business leaders? Oh, not those.

The first new car I ever had was a 1970 Buick Skylark. I drove that car for over 6 years, put on well over 120,000 miles on a vehicle that at the time were like the rest and you would be lucky to get it to make 70K. Even though it never failed to get me where I wanted to go, when I wanted to go there and equally get me back, I started to get scared. I bought it when I got back from Vietnam. It's the car that I owned when I met my wife, took us on our honeymoon, took her to the hospital and brought two babies back home over a period of two years, Drove through countless blizzards and sub-Zero weather. I got scared because it was without any problems the entire time I owned it and since I lived in the country with two small children I was afraid that if I had an emergency it would decide that would be a good time to let me down. So I traded it in. (I should have had it bronzed and put on our mantle because it was part of so much family history.)
After that I had three or four more Buick's and 4 Chrysler products all of which went well over 100K miles with no issues at all. An Oldsmobile that was OK and then I bought the first of my two Cadillac's. The first one I bought at an auction and did pretty well until about 112K miles before I had to replace both head gaskets while on a vacation trip to WDW. Just a little $3000.00 unexpected expense just to get home. I traded it in for a slightly used, low mileage, Cadillac DHS. The most luxurious car I had ever seen and it fortunately had a bumper to bumper warranty that was used constantly and after it hit a very costly end of the warranty it was a pit that I just threw money into constantly until it also decided that two new head gaskets were require to the tune of 6 Grand. That was a big straw that broke the camels back. I should add that after that first Buick all of my cars after that until I purchased a new Plymouth K car, which was also very reliable. Now I will only lease for the amount of time that the warranty is in affect and then it is see ya... bye bye! The two most expensive cars I own were the only two that practically bankrupt me due to repairs. They were GM's, of course, but my other GM's were just fine.

Nope, no hidden message that we’re missing, it’s just plain annoying!!.. but apparently quite popular amongst elementary school boys.
T puts it on at night, I go in his room in the morning, and it’s still playing on repeat. I turn it off, he gets up, then plays it again while getting ready.
I’ve changed songs on Spotify on my phone, making the new song play on his echo.. but then it’s 5 minutes of virtual tug-a-war.
