You know, if the UCP wanted to divert from their scandals, they’ve got an easy win right in front of them. Just provide the funding to make it so education workers can get paid fairly and get back to work. Why do the right thing though?

Anyone out there knowledgable about electricity? This building is really old and really dry. I seem to attract static electricity like a savant. I am having trouble where I am damaging electronics (and myself) with shocks. I try and discharge myself first but forget quite often.

Adhd teacher mode: get hyper fixated on fleshing out your essay tutorial handout and spend 2 hours on it late on a Monday of a long weekend. Think it’s probably good but doubt anyone will ever read it.

Lol @ Twitter. This got me a suspension? Nazis throwing around hate speech? Nope. People saying horrible sexual violence should happen to women? Nope. Telling a traitor off? The horror!

@primebane.bsky.social hey, can you tell me what the point of buying a 240w USBC cable would be if the adapter to the wall is only 20-40w? Like, do I need a $100 adapter for the cable to mean anything?

My English teacher ways got me in trouble today. I taught 8 what a Dinkus was a couple of years back and he started using it in a class assignment and telling other kids about it and the name started circulating. I didn't name the damn thing, lol. @mig14.bsky.social

Anyone out there good with gears/math? I want to know how much the red arrow will rotate by the time it gets to the position of the blue arrow? Basically, each gear will have a number on it and I'd like to offset it's rotation so that when it reaches the top it will be vertical

Small rant: My son's (8) basketball coach (volunteer, non-parent) resigned today. There was some hubub about him maybe saying a swear to the kids. I was there and heard nothing and my son says he didn't hear anything. I am not 100% sure but I feel like it was a bit of a crusade

Got all of my reference letters done before the break. Out of those student's first choices, there are: 2 to Princeton 2 to MIT 1 to Harvard I'd say there is a good shot 2/3 of them get that first choice. There are a lot of things about my job that are a lot of work but those make it worthwhile.

Re: Biden Worrying about “the norms” when the other guy coming in is talking about firing the FBI director (who he hired after firing the last guy) to install a fanatical yes man because as he believes the FBI is part of a deep state operation against him is…. Top notch concern trolling.

@primebane.bsky.social Hey, so, if I just want one account (attached to one email) but my kids each want a save and I want my own. Is that possible?

Honestly, this might be the most addicting 3D Printed fidget I've made and it also might be the simplest. Magnets.

I made Ashley some xmas gift wrapping tools. The two clamps hold the roll steady at the edge of a counter or table and the little hand tape dispenser should make things easier. Not sure if she is going to love it or call me an idiot, lol.

Bluesky is less of a “liberal” echo chamber than a, “I’m sick of being screamed at by Nazis” echo chamber.

WTF? Twitter just said I reached my daily limit for "this action" (apparently any posts?). They want my phone number to reply more? Piss on them. I've posted like 5 times today.

Assad’s brutal war against the Syrian people was infamously one of the bloodiest campaigns of mass slaughter in recent memory. And yet.
