I'm a fat tall person and I significantly prefer cars lower to the ground.

I agree with the rest of the commenters, ask her what she wants. Smart kids don't stop being smart just because their classes are easier, and by the time she hits college things will likely even out. I was in a similar situation but really liked my friends, so I stayed where I was and I'm really happy I did. I have lifelong friends and things have really worked out for me.

That being said, if she's entirely indifferent, and you're not worried about burnout, it's always good to help make sure she's intellectually engaged. I was very bored for most of elementary and middle school, and I do regret that somewhat.

Finally, I will say that my true passions I pursued outside of school. If she has interests, make them accessible to her whether they be sports, chess, programming, dance knitting, science, etc. Find clubs and books.

That's not true. The minimum wage guarantee is by pay period, not by shift

[–] Fisherswamp@programming.dev -2 points 1 year ago

Listen dude, that's average wage. If you got stiffed one night out of the week, you're SOL that night and you made $2.13 / hour. If you make less than $7.25 hourly in a pay period then you'll be brought up to minimum wage, but in any given night, servers only make $2.13 hourly without tips.

Americans with disabilities act in England? How does that work?

Don't forget, you have to pay taxes on all income, including interest. So your 5% APY is not 5% cash in hand. I would recommend that you pay off the loans

The code link is cut off for me

Because the entry points are closed.

Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.

They are actually following the legal process

Except that walking across the border and surrendering to the border patrol IS the legal way.

Given the current policies of the Biden administration, my understanding is that most immigrants are actually going through the legal process of claiming asylum.

Channel 5 did a little mini documentary about it that I personally enjoyed: https://youtu.be/2dQ4-VNaG3s
