Not many #Americans are good at #math. International standardized tests bear this out.

And you don’t need to know anything about #political #science to know that the simple solution to #partisan #gridlock is to #PrimaryFromTheCenter. It’s not rocket 🚀 surgery, it’s just basic #math. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Holy crap. Someone won the Texas Lotto -- to the tune of $95 million -- by buying every combination of number available. They apparently invested approximately $25.8M to accomplish that. (Paywall busted below) https://archive.is/etkX9

TIL airport runway numbers are named for the direction in which they point:

- Take the runway number, multiply by 10
- That angle is the direction of the runway

So runway 9 points due east (90°) and runway 27 due west (270°).

The same physical runway will change numbers if they switch the direction of traffic.
