Regrettably, the Miller Analogies Test has been discontinued as of November 15, 2023.

It had the highest test-retest reliability of any standardized test. That is, if you took the test once, subsequent test results would be pretty much the same. Per Google: Reliability coefficients for the current MAT test forms range from 0.89 to 0.94. The most commonly used formula for estimating the reliability of a test based on internal consistency is the Kuder-Richardson formula 20 (K-R 20).
“Introduced in 1926…. Created by W. S. Miller of the University of Minnesota to assess applicants to graduate schools, it was offered (for that purpose) by a series of owners, including the Psychological Corporation, Harcourt and (finally) Pearson.”

I AM SADDENED BY THIS. I took this test in June 2010. I scored a 506 out of 600, where the average is 400 and the standard deviation is 25 points. So, I scored almost 4.25 stan dev above the mean.
The end of an era.
Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages.
Phenylephrine, which replaced Pseudoephedrine in Sine-Off back in 2005, has NEVER been effective at anything.
I submitted my 2022 Illinois tax return online. However, the balance due was still $0.00, even though my tax due had been calculated online. I struggled to figure out how to make a payment immediately, instead of waiting for my return to be processed and the amount of tax due confirmed.

Accounts – ALL
Show – Balances – ALL
For Periods – ALL
2. When the list of all returns processed or pending shows up, click on the current tax year Period.

Just amazing how byzantine government procedures can be.

I wanted to be able to access an Android app whenever my cellphone crashes. I installed BlueStacks on my laptop.
It is SHIT, it did not work for me, and I am going through HELL trying to uninstall it. You can’t Uninstall it from your Windows Control panel, you have to do it through BlueStacks. And it takes FOREVER.
BlueStacks is SHIT.
I’m not making this up! STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH!

I added a second 4GB RAM chip in my HP 2000 2d11dx laptop. When I turned the laptop back on and went to “System”, neither my total RAM nor my CPU identity showed up. Here is how to fix it, really easy:

In Step #4, where it says to uncheck “Maximum memory”, go ahead and check it, then UNcheck it. For me, it went from showing 0 MB to 8192 MG == 8 GB.
It works.
Okay, so you deleted an email in your university https://outlook.office365.com/mail/
But you go to the Deleted Items folder, and the emails are still there, available for Recovery.
Go to the Deleted Items folder.
Click the Recover link
Look at all the emails that have popped up in a list. For each one that you want to PERMANENTLY DELETE, right-click on the Garbage can to the right of the email listing.
Click DELETE.
“Do you want to PERMANENTLY DELETE the email?”
OK
Now, Outlook is squirrelly. You should go back to the Deleted Items folder.
Where you see “Recover items deleted from this folder (x items)”, click on the Garbage can on the upper left. Click it, or, get the radio button to check that will allow you to Select All emails.
A window should open up that allows you to Empty Folder. Click it.
If you still see that there are items left to Recover, click that link and go through the same process. You will get a window to the right that gives you an “Empty Folder” option.
When you see ZERO ITEMS left to Recover, you are done.
FINALLY! Now I know what this monument is. I had always heard it referred to as the “Hershey’s Kiss” monument. Any natives that I asked never knew what it was called, and I never though to go up to the structure and see if there was a plaque there.
