Painter pants go well with a fluffed-back '80s mullet. You can only pull that look off with a wig now so I would advise against it.

I still wear khakis when I can find a pair at Goodwill that fit and aren't creased. I despise a crease.

That's not true, he could still let it grow out in the back...

I don't understand why bald on top guys have eschewed this genre:

Once you've had a comb over, you never go back.

FWIW, the greatest mullet of all time goes to Billy Ray Cyrus:

That works. I think you should ultimately read it at some point, but the biggest key is for her to. She's in a key spot to internalize some of the lessons. If I could recommend you do one thing, though, is to have you both take the self assessment she has early in the book. I don't have the book in front of me right now, otherwise I would say exactly what it's called. It doesn't matter though, because it's the only "test"/"work" that is in the book for the reader.

I think you should read the book to your daughter. Tenderly and with long pauses while you look at her with a parental guilt-inducing look. Then snoop on her Snapchat/Instagram pages to see what type of shit she is talking about you.

The quiz is nothing that can be used for future sass. It just measure's how you approach tough situations, by and large.

interesting...

--------------

New York just became the first state in the nation to make tuition free for middle class students at both two- and four-year public colleges.

Governor Andrew Cuomo introduced the tuition-free plan in January. Lawmakers agreed to include it in the state budget, which was approved by the Assembly on Saturday and by the Senate late Sunday night. The governor is expected to sign the budget bills.

Tuition will be free for residents who earn up to a specific income cap, which will be phased in over the first three years.

Starting this fall, undergraduate students who attend a State University of New York or City University of New York school will be eligible for the Excelsior Scholarship if their families earn no more than $100,000 a year. The income cap will lift to $110,000 next year and will reach $125,000 in 2019.

Those eligible will pay nothing for tuition, which costs $6,470 annually at four-year schools and about $4,350 a year at community colleges. But they will still be on the hook for the cost of fees and room and board if they live on campus. Those other expenses can add up to $14,000 a year.

Students must take 30 credits a year to receive the scholarship. Some lawmakers had spoken out against this requirement, because it excludes students who enroll part time.

In the final proposal, Cuomo said the credit requirement is "flexible" so that any student facing hardship will be able to pause and restart the program, or take fewer credits one semester than another.

After they graduate, students who receive the scholarship must live and work in New York for the same number of years they received funding. If they leave the state, their scholarship will be converted into a loan. This requirement was not included in the governor's initial proposal.

"Today, college is what high school was -- it should always be an option even if you can't afford it," Governor Cuomo said in a statement.

Wasn't the UNC system proposing this for certain campuses like Pembroke and other places no one wanted to go?

Appropriate video for an MIT thread. That person with the magnets is smart. Now everybody will do that.
