I dunno is a college algebra class and high school pre calc equivalent to a college math course? (Yes both at the same time)

High school teachers and the high school teaching environment is a lot different from the college environment. Teachers can be more forgiving and can have a more lenient grading system, they can be more familiar with teaching and explaining to students, etc. Even if it's the same material, the experience can differ.

Though, uh. The latter bits can go either way. Most of the college teachers I've had had considerably more leeway in grading and whatnot than the area high school teachers do, and the general environment on the college campuses have been both more focused and way, way more chill. Lot more people there because they want to be, doing things because they want to do them, and just kinda' overall being healthier and happier people (which is vaguely damning statement considering how many of them were some variation of intoxicated and/or sleep deprived). The high schools I've interacted with have mostly been a bit of a mess, comparatively.

Interactions I've had with colleges and universities so far have been pretty unilaterally positive, at least on the actual education and atmosphere side of things. Somewhat less so re: bureaucracy and pricing, but the rest of it has been pretty nice. S'just somethin' kinda' cheerful about college towns and academia...

Googies is unfortunately already a word. Sorta'. Rough synonym to blitzed, apparently.

So what, like that one robot from Pacific Rim that fires missiles from it's chest? Except a female human instead of a giant robot?

Like this. Just... smaller. Probably cyborgs of some sort by that point, but whatever.

# is a pound symbol.

Probably because they don't really taste much alike? From what I remember of the popcorn jellybeans they're something approximating somewhat sweet butter, which is nice. Popcorn... doesn't taste like that. Usually.

The computer games, various novels, fanfiction, the wikis (1d4 and that... other one), watching people warble at each other about the topic. I still haven't really read any of the rulebooks >_>

It's... getting beyond the purview of the thread, but... also no. There's quite a few visible conflicts in the world right now that are actually, y'know, conflicts.

Beyond that, the general actions of war on terror wouldn't even remotely qualify as defensive only, unfortunately. Very few of the actual conflicts that has arisen due to it would even half-way qualify as just, really...

Hey, there's good food in those garbage sacks.

Just, uh. Don't eat everything you pull out. Most things you pull out. Make sure it's still in its packaging and hasn't been opened and the expiration date has not passed. Also make sure it's not trying to escape and/or eat you. Maybe consult your doctor first, I'unno.

... second language would explain some things. Not in a bad way, exactly, but it illuminates why small differences might not seem as important.

Unfortunately, small differences can cause a pretty substantial change in meaning, as has been noted by the ninjas while I was typing this, which is the problem when dealing with bible translations. Even things as small as the noted "the word was a god" vs. "the word was god" (which the vast, vast majority of other translations use) has very different connotations.

If you're looking for pretty solid sources to cite regarding biblical passages online, your first steps are probably bible hub or bible gateway (I usually use this one, myself -- I like the color scheme better ). They both offer many different translations and the means to view them in parallel to see differences.
