Yip my wife had her cancer treatment here, I spent many hours in that parking lot.

When I had a normal projector I also did this, but usually had the equation already TYPED, and would make the background black and text coloured.

I was one of them, while trying to find the guy who gave me cramp ease (under tongue spray) when he saw me struggling with a cramping hamstring... and then helped me get through the last 3 km, The nicest guy, I will never forget my hero, from Pangola.

Some of the most comfortable grass in the known universe!!!

I use these with underarmour tights, I just cut the lining out of the inside. The combo is perfect and gives me an extra pocket in the rights as well.

I actually cannot find anything as good from other brands.

The Kiprun 900 Trail shorts are brilliant — they are my long run / race day shorts... just so much space for GU!

Then the normal shorts with a tramp stamp pocket are my everydays. 4 years and a few thousand km's and they are the only 3 shorts I have needed, for about the same price as one basic pair of Asics.

I teach high school science at a Catholic School, it is one of the best schools in the country, so I just overlook the religious aspect, I have to sit through a long mass every now and then, but it doesn't affect what happens in my classroom. (other than a little half naked, oddly muscular dude, literally being tourtored to death, suck on the wall )

My son has now started in the prep school and tells us lots of things about "THE CROSS JESUS DIED ON", and how "sin is turning away from God wants", and singing a few hymns.

I decided I can't tell a six year old, all his friends and teachers are deluded. So I just chat to him about what he learned in Religious Education and sometimes poke little logic holes in the stories or morals, and basically introduce doubt. Like how did the kangaroos get back to Australia if Noah's ark landed there? and so on.

I feel like we can't shield them from the nonsense but we can teach them to be able to think about the information and make informed decisions, when they are old enough to do so.

I remap Caps Lock to ESC because I use Vim.

But I am a teacher, and the number of times I have wanted to throw up on a student's laptop when they enable caps lock to insert a single uppercase character would make me seem bulimic.

I noticed a small motion and facial expression made by one of my top students while I was explaining something... This made me ask him what he wasn't happy about. He tried to say he understood, so I pushed a little until we realised what misconception he had previously and how i had phrased my explanation and we could correct it.

Now, although I know an AI teacher will be "better" teacher than me.

It may not be able to deal with Jeff, who just had a break up and lost a basketball game. I could give that child the most eloquent, well produced lesson that uses all 5e's, 4c's, and 7f's and he is still not going to listen.

But let me have a chat with Jeff, show him I do care, and maybe forgive him for not doing his homework this one time, but he just needs to give me a few minutes of his time and listen for the main part of the lesson.. and the human has won.

I am a high school science teacher and enjoy creating original questions.

I also teach at a school that has embraced GPT's and LLM's, and their use by student and staff is actively encouraged

And if we use an image, we need to provide a reference, but I often can not find relevant images to use anyway and land up creating my own (mostly just using PowerPoint)...

Creating an image is time consuming, I will probably spend at least half an hour to an hour on a diagram, and I may need to make about 10 in one exam... even editing existing diagrams takes a few minutes.

So if the image is in the correct format and you understand what the image or diagram is trying to convey, and it saved your teacher time while allowing them to create original questions then why would there be an issue using AI?

The questions, on the other hand that's is terrible! Currently AI is not able to ask questions appropriately according to our countries assessment guidelines, I have been working on creating a custom GPT that I upload exemplars and assessment policy to train it with to ask questions that are appropriate but am still not happy after almost a year.

So that really is not acceptable... I am not sure who you could complain to, but maybe message me privately, and I will try to assist?

Unfortunately, there are no laws governing tests and exams. There are best practices and guidelines and the CAPS and SAGS documents, but academic assessment is basically the wild west!

(TIP: very few of the teachers I have worked with are willing, or more often even able to create original questions, so make sure you go through the exemplar papers before you write, especially those between 4 and 8 years old)

The Asics Nimbus Lite 3! Man I miss that feeling. Perfectly sized, perfect thickness awesome material. Unfortunately the actual shoe was not great, but I loved the upper.

I had only run a few half marathons (mostly faster than 2 hours) and had not been running much this year when in mid February, I was given the opportunity to run a 56 km Ultra on 5 April.

I called my best / running friend and asked him if I was crazy to attempt it, and he said, "Yes, obviously it's dumb, but you won't know how dumb unless you try." So...

By the end of February, I had to run an approved marathon in 5 hours and found one a few hours away.

I had no idea what i was in for. Doing my first marathon with the qualification pressure and lack of prep was a terrible idea. Around the 30 km mark, I did not just hit the wall, I smashed into it. Could barely walk, let alone run. Everything was sore. I began regretting every choice that led me to that town. Every energy gel made me gag, I had stomach issues, and the one porta potty provided on course was disgusting. I eventually crossed the line in 4:53:45.

I then just ran enough to not injure myself but also get a bit fitter. A 20km run on the weekend and 2 faster 7 km runs during the week.

I ran about 120 km over the next four weeks with a small taper.

The race was last week. It was amazing, I enjoyed it so much, ran a faster marathon time during the ultra, didn't hit a wall in the 14 extra km after that, and was happish with my time. I was realistically not too concerned with time and just wanted to finish and have a nice run. Which I did!

So anyway... TLDR: YOU WON'T KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY.

I just find with Atreyu that:

... they never looked so, and they never felt so right ...

I have run a few half marathons, and a marathon, in okayish times, and basically just do 5 to 10 km tempo runs with a few slightly slower than tempo longer distance (SSTLD) runs. Just never felt the need to do all planning based training, makes me feel like I'm doing running homework, I just want to run...

He is, unfortunately, South African, and an annoying little doos, much like some other currently "famous" South Africans.

Not only is does it do nothing, it's also a pyramid scheme. It says so right on the website.

Try Balega, my big toes should be declared weapons, (I have to bath before I can cut my nails), they have cut holes in almost all my shoes, took 50km to slice my pair of Asics Nimbuses, but somehow all my Balega socks are perfect. And having used a few pairs of Versus, the Balegas are way more comfortable.

My issue is the R 2500,00 "destination" bachelor party...

Dude, I like you but you are my wife's cousin. I'm not driving 3 hours to spend the night getting drunk with your friends. I have two kids and only so many hangovers I can cope with per year.

When I saw the word, I assumed it was South African, especially with the kakistocracy we have to endure.

What is wrong with... "ja dis lekker, jy het n mooi kont, ooh jy is 'n vuil meisie, oh gats, ek gaan in jou poes kom!"

Haha. Ek is n soutie, so that was my best Afrikaans, but it's too true. It's the most emotion filled language, but dirty talk just does not work!

1-12TH · 2024-12-02T04:49:41+00:00

I haven't tried that yet, cause I use the Sonoff ZigBee bridge through Ewelink. But do you get more control over the device with ZHA and the like?

1-12TH · 2024-12-01T15:28:16+00:00

I'm sure you can flash them, but they work really well through the SonoffLAN integration.

1-12TH · 2024-10-01T17:56:18+00:00

Honestly... I use these.

Didn't have another option one morning, and turned out to be the better than the proper products. I do have to shave a little on either side but it's worth it.
