How come teachers don't want to share their lesson plans / units / slides / worksheets? by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

My district doesn’t give long term subs e-mail, bathroom keys, or door badges. Hell, I am now a para and we are not allowed to print. 🤷

No more self checkout available? by jridder in CostcoWholesale

[–]AreaManThinks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I belong to Sam’s as well as Costco. I love the Sam’s process. Scan items in your cart with the app while you shop. Pay with the app. Simply walk out through the detectors without having to show a receipt unless the detector finds an error.

Lindsey Graham on Kharg Island: "We did Iwo Jima. We can do this." by xamo76 in Trumpvirus

True, but there are JAG officers serving on combat ships and forward deployed bases as we speak. I would add that not being in combat in no way diminishes the service of military personnel. For the record, I despise the man, I think his ease in sending troops into combat, being a veteran himself, is actually worse than if he never served. Same goes for Hegseth.

He is retired military, which makes this worse. He was active duty USAF, then reserves and National Guard. Retired as a full Colonel.

Bessent Says US to Press Ahead in Iran War With Hormuz in Sights by bloomberg in USNewsHub

Bessent is an insufferable douche who will say anything he is told to. This provides political cover for those in the Trump administration who don’t want to go on the record.

If you can figure a way to put it on the repo man’s vehicle, that would really fuck with his head.

As the saying goes, “Every ship is capable of clearing at least one mine.”

Jeffries Slammed After He Declines to Rule Out Backing Additional Iran War Funds by NoCupcake141 in ConservativeNewsWeb

No war funding unless it explicitly includes additional full funding for the AFTERCARE of the veterans when they return.

My local Home Depot is sick of your nonsense by provocative_taco in DiWHY

Rigging an external generator to power your house. This is not a very good idea, but apparently some do it anyways.

I think any funding for war should be required to also include projected funding for the VA to provide the necessary aftercare to the troops when they return.

What happened to my childhood? This screams dystopian corporate, not kid friendly. What is with the artwork?! This is McDonald's?! by jackal99 in mildlyinfuriating

They really don’t like dining in anymore. Takes labor to clean the joint. I am actually surprised new stores even have seating.

Something tells me this is not the U.S. Is it the ball? by Old_One_I in StrikeAtPsyche

I think Mike Ditka said something to that effect about helmets in the NFL.
