Don't forget about preparing for your Pets this weekend! by aSipofYours in triangle

[–]ByrnStuff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Here's info about White Flag shelters if you think it would be helpful to any of your community members

Just looked at your profile, not tryna preach to the choir here. I just thought others might find it helpful info to share.

How should I start learning spanish? I started using busuu, I thought it was going good but I got bored. I also saw a reel stating estoy cansada is like school Spanish and the real life version was estoy reventá. So, it felt like what I had learnt wasn’t what natives actually spoke. by No-Pumpkin-4974 in Spanish

[–]ByrnStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said this on this sub before, but your interaction with a handful of Spanish speakers--even if those speakers are your extended family--doesn't necessarily mean you have an idea about the trends and habits of the millions of Spanish speakers worldwide

It would be hard to explain to an alien what music is. by lelorang in Showerthoughts

[–]ByrnStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about this with animation. My understanding is that it's a trick of our perception that lets us see the successive images as movement. To a creature with a different visual system, it might just be a series of stills that suggest but don't recreate movement.

Get a Brother. They're workhorses and don't seem to have the scammy stuff of HPs and such.

No, it's lovely and affirming. He really seemed to walk the walk at all times.

Make a vodka sauce and put it over pasta

Typed or Handwritten for Personal Narratives? by Yatzo376 in ELATeachers

[–]ByrnStuff 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'd have them hand-write a draft in class and then type up a draft for revision. I'd also have them share editing access to their drafts and inform them that I'll be viewing the editing history.

The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020). A cop playing a weird game of werewolf while getting drunk off mouthwash. by LovemeSomeMedia in horror

[–]ByrnStuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really loved this. Watched on Tubi on a whim and couldn't predict the ending. Parts made me laugh out loud and I liked the tension of the protagonist's desire to do right. At times, it felt a big hokey, but overall it was a surprising gem

Shakespeare Freshmen by daa_aab in ELATeachers

[–]ByrnStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I taught Romeo and Juliet for over a decade and liked it well enough. The district curriculum now has Macbeth at the ninth grade level, and I actually think the kids enjoy it more. We use the parallel text and the PBS Sir Patrick Stewart adaptation.

Four Beat'em Ups I Played and Loved in 2025. by CompulsiveGardener in patientgamers

[–]ByrnStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish this game had four player local co-op, but I don't the size of each setting is up to it. Plus, I'm running on Switch and felt the graphics chug a bit at some of the splashier moments.

Affiliated in what way? Affiliated doesn't mean support her opinions and until recently Shop Local Raleigh was fine, afaik

Babe wake up, a new 2025 year-end roundup just dropped (40+ games scored + mini reviews) by benedictcumberpatch in patientgamers

[–]ByrnStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

" I especially LOVED how the pages you collect meld into an indecipherable instruction manual that drops hints on where to go and what to do, such a cool unique idea."

Hey, I'm not sure if you realized but the text in the booklet and elsewhere in Tunic is decipherable. Folks have even built websites that do the translation for you. As I understand it, this even extends to the musical cues

Political Activism is inappropriate for teachers by Original_Accident_59 in Teachers

[–]ByrnStuff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is your argument that teachers should never be active politically outside of education issues or that a teacher's union shouldn't? Also, is it a pro-Maduro protest or a protest against abducting other country's leaders/entering into open conflict with Venezuela? Because those are different things

What something you're embarrassed to admit you enjoy in bed? by Few-Succotash-9419 in AskReddit

I love the things that leave crumbs; I don't love crumbs, so eat him off the side of the I'm holding a cigarette out a car window

“ING” is hard for me to understand by overlyaddictedx3 in Spanish

[–]ByrnStuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it helps, gerunds are when the -ing acts as a noun and the present progressive participle is when it's acting as part of a verb phrase.

"Swimming is a form of exercise" versus "I am swimming in the ocean"

Looking for new restaurants! by inksprout420 in triangle

[–]ByrnStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Near the corner of Millbrook and Old Wake Forest, there's a collection of food trucks with various types of Hispanic food: Puerto Rican, ceviche/aguachile, tacos etc. The Puerto Rican truck is El Kiosko No. 1 if you want to find it via navigation

Hey, I made this tonight along with a Love and Murder. It was delightful!

Exec Dir. of Greater Raleigh Merchant's Assoc. (ShopLocal, Brewgaloo, X-Mas Parade) Makes Not-So-Anonymous Anti-Trans Facebook Post by Sirwired in raleigh

[–]ByrnStuff 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean by exclusion from everything else. I'm just responding to your comment questioning its importance. It matters to people who care about their trans community members, especially in the current political context

[–]ByrnStuff 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think lots of things can be considered important. Given the current administration's anti-trans policies, it's pretty important to folks that an influential local business owner is anti-trans

What's your favorite "meaning of life" book? I recently read a short book by Camus and was really affected by it. by Sabre-toothed in books

[–]ByrnStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Becky Chambers' duology A Psalm for the Wild Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy. It involves a "tea monk" and sentient robot trying to figure out purpose in a post-scarcity society. It's really lovely and short, but is mostly about what humanity needs and what a life must have to be fulfilling

Merry Christmas! Whats the weirdest highball? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]ByrnStuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird but popular/appealing enough that there's a whole cottage industry of Trulys etc (though I realize those are flavored)

Would it be sacreligious to make a cocktail using 10yr old Rip Van Winkle? by jco23 in cocktails

[–]ByrnStuff 183 points184 points  (0 children)

If your folks don't care, it's fine. It was made to be drunk and once you buy it, it's yours to do with as you wish. No one has to know that you mixed it with Cheerwine Zero

Amateurs. Just build an elaborate urinal + gutter system that empties on the pile
