yep

nah it was in highschool

that's common outside the states. i went to worlds and visited the FLL competition and there were a lot of foreign teams with teenagers

the principal asked a few kids if they wanted to try, then we spent like 6 meetings goofing around with legos and trying to program the electronic part we were adding to them and then went to a competition where we were completely annihilated, but was still pretty fun

ah okay, yeah we didnt really learn much about anything about all that

it's definitely an enigma of it's own

also sounds about right for a robotics team of any level

lmao nice to know

xD yup

I got a question

What's a government shutdown

And is it bad

Basically it's when certain sets of federal workers have their pay suspended and services shut down due to things not getting resolved in Congress, from my understanding

If the workers are considered "essential" then they work without pay for however long the shutdown occurs

^^^hank green does a pretty good job explaining the last one, but honestly i avoid the politics of my country to protect my mental health

makes sense

i think this shutdown has to do with trump's wall

Build da wall

put a fucking mout

no one will dig

politics tends to get tough to deal with after a certain point

lolz

In a general sense I'd say that shutdowns are not good because they seem to have come from unwillingness for people to cooperate and in the meantime several peoples' jobs are negatively affected, and their livelihoods in turn

It's generally not good when two major points of view reach an impasse like this

yeeaaah I'd have to agree on that

Thank you
