The boys and I left to our own devices for a bit today. That means it’s pretzel day .

Americans created a crossover where Pinky and The Brain become billionaire bond villains and decided to put them in charge their country.

This is a nightmare.

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?

So, besides a humidifier (the room is too big to make a big deal and I already have a 40g aquarium in here), what can I do to reduce/eliminate shocks? My desk chair seems the worst factor here. Would getting those rubber polyurethane wheels help? Anything else? I'm desperate.

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.

I need more ppl to follow on here. Anyone got some shoutouts?

He’s still just drawing on maps with sharpies pretending whatever he puts down is legit.

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!

LOL! I just read my "grok profile summary" over at the bad place.

Nah, I’m just looking at getting new cables for various things and want something that’s going g to work for charging and data transfer. The new standard is 240w apparently but most power adapters are like 20-60w still unless you are spending your life savings.

@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

If he did something inappropriate, then sure, I guess. But I feel like way too often, people don't appreciate other people's time and efforts enough. Dude wasn't getting paid. He was just there to help some kids out because there is never enough coaches/volunteers.

The thing is, this guy volunteered. I didn't. He didn't have to be there. I don't feel like I've got the right to criticize unless there's something going on that is unhealthy for the kids. If I want to control how things go, I should volunteer.

by a parent or two that just didn't like the coach. I feel really shitty about the whole thing.

Here's my thing, would I have handled certain things differently than that coach? Sure. Do I have opinions on how things could be better? Who doesn't?

*BUT*

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

Had leftover ingredients so made myself stuffed mushrooms for lunch. No ragrets.

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.

A good pupper

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.

Yeah, I’m working on the parental control app now. Bit like, let’s just say I’m playing pokemon violet, I need to pay for a subscription for each playthrough I want to be able to connect to the internet to play? That seems a scam.

@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?

This is an ambitious print.

Everyone, there was a hockey player named Dit Clapper. I have just found this out and I am enamoured.

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.
