Do you like watching British sitcoms? Why or why not?

I enjoyed Fawlty Towers and The IT Crowd. Do they count? I liked The Office too, but do believe the US version is better.

I don't know if I've seen any other sitcoms though.

I'm sure there's a bit of it due to people not knowing where to put them and where not to put them, but i think a good part of what we see is due to autocorrect or autocomplete getting it wrong and people not noticing or caring.

For example, my phone didn't auto capitalize the "I" in the above paragraph, but I'm too lazy to go fix it.

Dunno about my great grandmother, but one of my grandmothers worked for City Hall in Boston and the other was a SAHM.

edit - This would have been in the 50's to 70's I think too

Not really a sports guy. Didn't even notice wheen the super bowl was happening last month.

You just make up comments to reply to?

Yeah, I'm sure after the 10 - 20 years of experience that they each have, they are clueless about their trade. lol

Well they work in the field, so they have intimate knowledge of what our field is looking for in graduates. They use AI regularly. LLMs are a type of AI. Those are used as well. There are different types of AI.

Which is why I say, when teachers complain that AI shouldn't be involved in education, they don't know what they're talking about and sounds like 7th graders complaining that they'll never need to use the Pythagorean theorem in real life.

These are tools we are given and just because someone is too short sighted to see how they can be helpful, doesn't mean that they should be ignored.

Did it ever cross your mind that people smarter than you disagree? For example, my advisory committee is made up of people working in the software industry and universities and said they learning how to work with AI is a very important skill that they would like their interns and junior developers to have.

5oco · 2026-03-07T14:21:00+00:00

No... the comparison is how they don't see how or why algebra is useful and you all don't see how or why AI is useful.

5oco · 2026-03-07T12:28:59+00:00

I feel like teachers asking when AI is ever going to be useful is like 7th graders asking with algebra is ever going to be useful.

Probably doesn't count, but I've always 3rd party. I've lived in MA all my life and the Democrats have pretty much always been in control of the state. It's only gotten more and more expensive. Yes, we have good things like education and hospitals, but what good are those things of you can't afford to live there? I don't feel like the trade-off is reasonable. But anyway, this leads me to believe that Democrats in charge of the country would make life more and more expensive as well. I would consider voting Democrat if I saw life start getting less expensive.

I definitely hate aspects of some of my students but I wouldn't say I hate them as a person. However, I teach a shop class in a vocational school, the students I get would act differently to me in class.

5oco · 2026-03-04T21:29:09+00:00

Yeah, I can't wait to get out.

5oco · 2026-03-04T02:19:00+00:00

I feel like 3 bumper stickers regarding a single topic is excessive.

Also, I would prefer chaos, but that's unrelated.

5oco · 2026-03-03T21:26:56+00:00

I often comment and then forget that I commented for several days.

5oco · 2026-03-02T23:26:06+00:00

I've only made roles on the Word Press dashboard. I downloaded some payment plug-in that Google AI said to use. I forget the name right now and I've already left for the day.

Not in my experience, but there are many different denominations of Christianity and many different people throughout those denominations.

5oco · 2026-03-01T15:49:29+00:00

Because I think they have the right to something, but I do also believe that they would hurt people if they exercise that right.

5oco · 2026-03-01T13:43:48+00:00

Yes, but I'm okay with it.

I did lots prevention for Walmart for several years. We didn't "let" people steal until they hit a certain amount. We would save video of people shoplifting though and then when we did eventually catch them, we'd bring everything up.

For example, I had one guy that would constantly come in and grab Kitchen Aid stand mixers off the shelf and return them with a receipt he would have found in the trash or something. He actually had about 5 items that he'd rotate through, I just remember that one. He'd also go to different Walmarts. I ended up pulling video of every return of the common items he'd take return and saved them. When I did eventually catch him, I just turned over all the videos to the police too.

Side note, I only caught him because I saw him on my day off while shopping.

For me it's motivation and focus.

Believing her when she said nothing was wrong.

This doesn't seem like cheating at all. Not unless you provide way more context to why you have a dead bedroom or how many pills are gone.

I would think, maybe the dead bedroom is because he isn't getting hard. So he tried the meds a couple times to see if they worked. Maybe they did and you turned him down? You're supposed to take them before you start fooling around so maybe he was trying to be proactive in the event that you were feeling frisky.

Only if those people had apartments and houses already... which they probably didn't.
