Reply to TIL the price of textbooks increases by an average of 12% with each new edition by ExperienceKCC
In the spring of 2021, I took an anatomy and physiology class at the community college nearby. My textbook came with a password to an online learning module. It cost more than $600. I was shocked by the price and the realization that, while a student could buy an earlier edition of the paper book, the online material was required for the class making the new book purchase a requirement. By comparison, the computer class I took at the same time was almost totally online with a password purchase costing less than $100.

Reply to TIL about the female Pharaoh Hatshepsut. The daughter of Thutmose I and his first wife, she married her half-brother, Thutmose II, and was his first wife. When Thutmose II died, she became regent for the baby Thutmose III, her husband's heir by another wife. She ruled 22 years until her death. by marmorset
There is a book about Hatshepsut called Child of the Morning. Author Pauline Getch. I read it years ago and, since I still remember the name and author after reading hundreds more since then, it is quite good.

Reply to My local store just started selling these large sewing kits by caniborrow50cents
Some of them could be just old pennies, a few nails, and some curls of wire.
