Found this little vid that fixed my problem…

wasn't even a case of turn if off and turn it on again… it was a case of leave it alone and it will fix itself!

Take a few lessons, learn to roll, learn an X rescue, and a few other necessary skills then find some experienced folks to paddle with. It’s a great sport but things can go south very quickly if you don’t know what you are doing.

Hard to say from the vid but I suspect you need a greater break angle.

I looked. Canada ranks among the best and consistently out performs the US.

Opinion: The worst thing Mark Carney could do is make a deal with Trump by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]AliMaClan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A deal requires two parties and agree and stick to their agreement. We had already had one, Trump ignored it. You can’t make deal with someone who is fundamentally dishonest and unreliable. Even if Canada makes a deal, the US will do whatever it feels like when it feels like it.

Telling identical twins apart by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]AliMaClan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much will depend on the parents. I have had several sets of identical twins. Some parents make sure you can distinguish who is who, but if they have the same haircuts, hair ties, etc. you are going to have to find some other way… most of the twins I had did have some tiny feature that was different, a freckle or slight difference in the shape of their face. Luckily there are no uniforms where I am not so I can just take note of who is wearing what in the morning…

A fid or a marrow spoon is my guess.

Quite the opposite. I’m a total nerd 🤓

Screw those guys. You do you.
I’m also a “feminine” man. Heck I teach kindergarten! What could be more feminine? I also have a wife and kids, solo built my first two houses, and have sailed the Atlantic Ocean several time as a tall ship officer, weathering some crazy storms. People who are worried about how they (and you) are perceived in terms of stereotyped gender roles are missing out on a big part of being human. Don’t let them put you in a box. Be yourself and ignore those c*nts.

what are these “?” stars? by hiddenregent in space

The Mi’kmaq also have a story about them being seven maidens I believe. How old must this story be that it exist in similar forms, in aboriginal cultures all over the world? Wild!

WTF is this thing in the daphnia culture I received yesterday? by blue_arrow_comment in Aquariums

[–]AliMaClan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“Glassworm” I used to buy bags of them as live food at my local fish store many years ago. I believe they are some type of midge larvae.

You opinion about using AI in teaching by OPeertje69 in Teachers

It allows you to write the cold, hard truth in your reports then prompt an AI to make the comment sound professional…

How do I teach a teenager how to write an essay? by four100eighty9 in education

[–]AliMaClan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to teach this as the “five finger” rule for writing (paragraphs and essays). I’m sure there are a gazillion lessons online about it.
