Hey well done. First day is a big step.

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

That’s almost a block

It’s gotta claim copyright for all the work it’s stolen.

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. 🤦‍♂️

The full trailer actually improves it. A little.

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

My mistake - life stinks. The movie certainly did

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.
comment in response to post
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.

So like a French Cafe in Cairns in Summer?

True mature adults can no longer enjoy a simple slushee in this day and age.

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

Are there any other spices?

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.

Why do people vote for this sort of bullshit?

Can you explain for a foreigner? What are the exchanges he’s talking about?
comment in response to post
No vibe-coding, I bet.

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?

At least they weren’t using straws.

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.

Isn’t he beyond rescue?

Look, it’s the best they’ve got.

Is that a fancy word for cooking?

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.

This is their strategy to walk back their aim of setting up iPhone factories in the US.

They’ve also turned people around for not having enough luggage.

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?

Probably expects the poor and disabled to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps though.

Oh there’s been quite a few.

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.

They only need to look at the success of the Suzuki Might Boy here.

Dosage can be quite inconsistent with those. Not that I think that’s highly critical, but worth knowing.
