I did that last year and while it removed the visible element, it grew back. Gotta get to the root of it.
I found those last two posts back to back confusing.

I’m watching the original season of Star Trek. The first few episodes are terrible but they it seems like they really hit their stride by the middle of the season.

lol recon, what a buffet noob. Pro move is to pay one of the kids at the next table over to get the food for you. At the Golden Corral a buck should do the trick.
2 or 0. Don’t like the idea of liver or snails but sure they could be prepared in a way I don’t mind.

I used to dislike olives too, I’ll eat them now as it seems there actually OK. Especially with spicy pasta.

Re: standardized tests
They’re a huge fucking racket industry with rampant cheating. I’ve posted about this before regarding the GMAT. It’s expensive to sit ($275) which doesn’t include the practice/study materials and services people buy. You can waste tons of time and money on it and yet are still losing massive equity to all of the cheaters on the largest Chinese-language GMAT site who are studying from the live question pool. The SAT has had many of these types of cheating scandals in the last decade. For example:
According to the PowerPoint, College Board officials also considered another approach: Push ahead with all scheduled tests in every country, regardless of the security risks. Under this scenario, one of the “benefits” listed was giving the “appearance that security situation is under control.”
The option was “not recommended,” in part because the organization feared it could result in even more cheating and that “another large-scale incident could get attention of U.S. press and universities.”
All of the people in charge of these test rackets are manipulative lying scumbags, and for that reason I’m out.
Que?

In 2007, the Iowa attorney general’s office wanted the IRS to review the salaries of the Iowa City-based ACT after The Des Moines Register disclosed that ACT was paying board members more than 98 percent of nonprofit corporations nationally and that some ACT board members received more than $40,000 annually to attend four meetings. The ACT remained nonprofit.
ETS paid some members of its Board of Directors at a rate up to $103,000 a year for what is reported as approximately two hours of work a week, about $1,000 an hour. And more than three dozen top executives received more than $300,000 in total annual compensation; seven of those topped half a million dollars.
For example, Philip Tabbiner, senior vice president for business innovation and growth, earned $655,055 in reportable compensation. Randy Bennett, Frederiksen Chair for assessment innovation, earned $316,450 in reportable compensation and a total of $489,758. Donado Yvette, vice president and treasurer, earned $422,793 in reportable compensation.

Some crooked numbers on that 990 yo. Even Ghislaine’s fake “save the oceans” NPO wasn’t this blatant lol:

I have no doubt that you’re correct about the cheating.
However, even if there was zero cheating, I’m pretty sure that we would still see nearly the same distribution of scores by race. So, for most people who would want to get rid of the SAT, eliminating cheating wouldn’t suddenly make them think that the SAT is OK.
It’s far more complicated that just the cheating, but my point is that the fact the test isn’t honest and that the grifters know and are trying to cover it up is enough to cancel it. I don’t need any other reasons.
