Maybe we should have a war with Indonesia instead. Bahasa is much easier to learn.

There’s an awful lot more going on in education currently, and I’m seeing a regular flow of good teachers leaving. I’m in my last decade before retirement, or I’d be looking at alternatives as well.

And half an hour later he’ll be telling everyone how great it was. Yuge, even.

My first thought was that the author looked a bit like Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords. I then thought, don’t be ridiculous. 🤦♂️

Impressive that it even had a cinema release, if we’re being honest

I watched ‘Life Sucks’. He was past his movie making best by that stage.

Did something similar making a stock from prawn shells. Once it was ready, I tipped the whole lot in to the colendar, which was in the sink.

I’ve never been a fan of external exam for these reasons. So much potential for errors in high stakes situations.

Yeah, unless there’s more of an overview and review process that’s going to create an awful exam.

My favourite exam-writing story that should get more press. www.smh.com.au/education/vc...

As a teacher that has been involved with writing state external exams, it is a real skill. It is complex, and more academics need to sit exams themselves to remind them of that fact.

Large ego, low self-confidence. A tragic combination.

I don’t even worry about turnitin results anymore. If a student can craft a well written essay with AI, it means they do know something, and they’ve probably done some serious editing, which also means they know something.

Can you explain for a foreigner? What are the exchanges he’s talking about?

I have read one concern is that in some uses, the ice engine frequently doesn’t run long enough to get to operating temp, and can reduce the life of the engine. Any thoughts on that?

I see a few suggestions for blood sugar/diabetes, which are all good suggestions. Have you thought about the possibility of being coeliac? A friend's son (late teenage/early 20s) had this sort of response to eating gluten, otherwise no symptoms.

Just saw this on the news. Massive security detail, highway shut down. I’m hoping the conference organisers paid for all that and not the taxpayers.

I sort of get a show. You volunteer for a bit, probably get free entry to the show and get a look around. But a commercial showroom is just weird.

How much are their shares worth to get to a return equal to minimum wage, I wonder?

Also at a previous job once telling the boss his mates, whom he promoted, were incompetent dickheads. It probably was unprofessional, but to be fair it was also true.

And when you say Liberals on the Gold Coast, I assume that means LNP who choose to sit in the Liberal room? I’m not sure of the consequences of the coalition breakup in this regard.

We’re both in the same boat. Not yet 55, and a good sleep is worth its weight in gold.
