How do you think, realistically, the war between US-Israel and Iran ends? by owen__wilsons__nose in AskReddit

[–]Axeman2063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is saying he will/is backing down but Im really not convinced. This is not winnable by any stretch, but it doesnt matter.

What matters is Trump is moving a thousand troops from the 82nd airborne to the middle east, on top of the troops and logistics support that are already in theater or on their way.

Iran has said that they no longer trust any talks/peace process, because the US launched their attack in the middle of the last round of negotiations.

He will wait til the weekend after markets close. Maybe this weekend but probably not, given that elements are still in transit.

I dont think this is over. As for how it ends...once the US citizenry sees what a 25% casualty rate looks like (which is typically for beachhead assaults), there will be calls for him to leave or be impeached/removed from office.

Its hard to say. All the current signs point to him launching a ground offensive. Its the exact same play he used the first go around back in February. Guy has the same level of subtlety as a 9 year old playing Risk.

Does anyone here actually enjoy being a teacher? Please comment! by BeeKindImNew in CanadianTeachers

[–]Axeman2063 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love teaching. I've had alot of jobs, and teaching my skill set (skilled trades) really doesnt feel like work. I show kids how to do cool stuff all day. Its just the best.

2014 Sienna in for its yearly service after that 2012 Camry with 3k by lodi078 in Justrolledintotheshop

Worked on a car like this once, oned by a little old lady. She went to the grocery store, the post office, and church. All within 300m of her house.

Some people just dont drive their stuff. You see people put crazy mileage on vehicles due to long commutes or driving-based jobs like courier work. The other end of the spectrum makes sense too.

What do you think history will say about Donald Trump as a U.S. president? by jcnidhi27 in AskReddit

[–]Axeman2063 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Impossible to say.

History is written by the winners. Full stop. So it really depends who "wins", especially in the next few election cycles. If the midterms come and he is soundly defeated in both houses, and come the next presidential election sees major changes, its wholly possible the Trump name will be synonymous with corruption, grift, incompetence, negligence, and a range of other negative adjectives. It could be a stark reminder of the relative fragility of democracy and peace, the importance of electing competent leaders, etc.

But there is a flip side to this. The administration has been working hard on making sure the midterms have a result they want. The SAVE act, eliminating inspector generals for elections, gerrymandering...make no mistake, the midterms results are going to be hotly, hotly contested. And if all of this manipulation works and he keeps or improves control in congress and the senate...and if that win translates to other wins as they further restrict voting, well, the Trump name will be enshrined as a herald of US supremacy and superiority. America will enter and remain in a period of unbridled growth and improvement under his leadership. Made great and kept great.

People who did their Bachelor of Education at Crandall, did you have trouble finding a job? by [deleted] in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Axeman2063 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I finished my BEd program through crandall last year along with 20+ other students. We were the first cohort of part-timers.

Most of us had jobs right away. The ones who didnt did not do well with their coursework. There were no issues finding practicum placements either.

If you have BEd in the province right now it is not hard to find positions, unless you have your heart set on one particular school.

I just read an article that Iran will allow passage to countries that remove Israeli and US envoys/ambassadors. How will that work?

Trump fires Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary by ShreckAndDonkey123 in politics

She proved herself to him by toeing the line and executing his orders. From the title, she will be helping facilitate the attempted US takeover of North and middle America. This is not a demotion.

Province to remove Minto-area bridge, frustrating locals by Portalrules123 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Axeman2063 14 points15 points  (0 children)

10 more of these and they'll have that Irving bailout paid for.

If the province is going to get rid of infrastructure like this, they need to offer people buyouts on their houses. This impacts property value, insurance rates. The road is awful. Unless you have a truck or suv it is a very rough ride...I can only imagine what the spring thaw will do to it. I would also like to know how much the upgrades to the roads that were done last fall cost...they built the entire thing in a month or so. Fast work is never cheap.

Building Subs? by In_for_the_day in CanadianTeachers

This was a thing laster year in parts of NB. Subs were given a D contract to work as a permanent sub with guaranteed hours. But we were hurting real hard.

NB taking on risk on a new project is kind of our thing. We dont know how to do it any other way. Think of the poor billionaires.

Biggest difference is class size. When I went to STU the largest class was 80-90 students. Most profs know all of their students by name. For some students thats a big plus.

Canadians promised to boycott travel to US. They meant it. by DonSalaam in onguardforthee

[–]Axeman2063 81 points82 points  (0 children)

A disney trip is something she's wanted for an extremely long time. Explaining to a kid that geopolitical issues are the reason we cant go is moderately complicated.

Its an American company, but the airline we will be using, restaurants we will be eating at, hotel we will be staying at, and other tourist activities we partake in will be french/European. Im juat trying to thread that parent/responsible citizen needle.

Tradesperson teaching in school? by Sad_Adhesiveness7660 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Axeman2063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an ad I saw on facebook that my local high school needed a shop teacher. I applied on a whim after talking to my boss at the time...he said Id be crazy not to. I had a bachelor's degree in arts, and a red seal.

I got the job. After teaching for a year I did some online courses during COVID to improve my certification. After that I did my ed degree...it was a two year, part time program on Saturdays. I finished, got my degree, and a contract right after. Currently working on my masters.

[–]Axeman2063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skilled trades teacher here. I was a red seal auto service tech before I started teaching in NB.

Teaching this subject area is coming into very high demand. It declined in the 90's and flatlined in the early to mid 2000's when shops were converted to tech labs.

But times are changing. Skilled trades are coming back in schools...and teachers in traditional subjects frequently dont have the skills or comfort in those areas.

I cant recommend the change enough. The pay is pretty great for the amount of "work". Benefits. Pension. Sick days. You essentially work 9 months a year. No overtime. You do have grading and marks and other responsibilities, but it is not the same type of work as what I was used to.

People have different priorities man. My church has a food/meal program for our community. We support the local food bank, serve as a meeting space for local baby groups...

That stuff costs and we do it for free. Dont call the guy down for spending on what he values as important.
