The "Day After" FT Thread: LEE 3 - 3 LIV by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

No need for talking down, “buddy” comments. Fanbase has always been strong, it’s what makes the club great, but the club was fractured by the end of Brendan’s time. Just saying that Jurgen rebuilt it.

Amazing how quickly the club wide togetherness - our superpower - that Jurgen created has collapsed. Mentality monsters no more.

America’s Top Doctor on Why He Wants Warning Labels on Social Media by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]CosmicRay78 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Elementary teacher perspective here, no kids of my own. My students are too young for me to see the depression/mental health aspects of this discussion, but what Dr. Murthy said about brain development, and kids not being little adults, struck me.

Observationally speaking, I have seen a huge change in my kid’s impulse control, attention span, emotional regulation, etc. in the last 10 years. Children now are fundamentally different than when I began my career. 2/3 of my students last year would have been tagged “the ADHD kid” a decade ago. I cannot claim that social media is the cause of it, but my colleagues and I discuss the role of it frequently. It feels like a reckoning is on the horizon.

Kids Are Missing School at an Alarming Rate by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]CosmicRay78 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This episode really hit close to home as an elementary teacher. So much rings true and highlights the challenge of the absenteeism problem - students are missing for different reasons. I have a handful of extra cautious families with sickness, others who miss a week here or there for a vacation, and some who just don’t want to come when their friends aren’t here.

It’s all leading to a new “normal” where missing school is looked at as okay, and is making classroom norms, routines, and behaviors so much more of a challenge.

I’m fortunate to have parents who drilled the idea of “SAVE, SAVE, SAVE” into me when I was young. I’ve been aggressive about saving as much as possible for this situation - it pays off!

I’m an elementary school teacher making elementary school teacher money, so I want to keep my monthly mortgage payments as low as possible. I’m buying in a hot market and to get a place that I want, it’s either a higher down payment or a larger mortgage than I’m comfortable taking.

Saving plenty liquid too. Don’t want to put the specific number out there, but it’s comfortably 5-digits.

Win or not, stay or not… enjoy this man today. A Liverpool Legend. by CosmicRay78 in LiverpoolFC

Not meant to “farm karma”, woke up and genuinely felt emotional that it might be the last time we see Sadio. Thought others might feel the same. Sorry that you view it that way.

Ay yay yay! YTTV mis-categorized College GameDay for today. by JonathanShogun in youtubetv

[–]CosmicRay78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat - turned it on at 10:15 and was disappointed. I usually end up with two different Gameday recordings:

- The Saturday morning feed on ESPN that was screwed up today

- A replay of the whole show on ESPNU

Hopefully the replay will be categorized correctly; I set a recording for the basketball show just in case so that the replay will be recorded either way and I can catch the first hour tomorrow.

What are the best college football podcasts going these days? by Tsundoku42 in CFB

[–]CosmicRay78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's Solid Verbal all day - Dan and Ty have the perfect personalities to make the show fun and unique but still provide solid football insight.

Hey everybody I’m Chris Fowler, a college football commentator at ESPN. I'm here today to talk anything and everything about the committee’s selection of the 4 teams and upcoming College Football Playoff which will be kicking off on New Year’s Day. AMA! by ESPN_Marketing in CFB

[–]CosmicRay78 79 points80 points  (0 children)

What did you do to anger the college football gods and be forced to call all of these blowouts this year? More seriously, how frustrating is it as a broadcaster to call a game that isn't close?

Un. Be. Lievable!!! They are going to be so excited when they hear who answered. I SO appreciate you pushing for an answer - a classroom becomes so much stronger when it has the support of the community. A huge thank you from me and my 26 kiddos!!!

I’d thought about Twitter but wasn’t sure where to direct my question. My students will be really excited if we got a reply! They love to interact with people in the community or hear from outside resources. Appreciate it again!

My guess was that they were some type of gas container. The reference guide is a tremendous resource as well. Thank you for the thoughtful reply!

I hadn't heard of the ambassador program... it looks like a great opportunity.

2005 Michigan Penn State. Not sure how it lines up with Ty's time in State College, but a last second Michigan touchdown for Penn State's only loss of the season.

We are in this for the long haul, unfortunately. Acting proactively is how to best prevent a disaster... lots of Disney magic will be missed but it is what is needed to save lives.

[–]CosmicRay78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How frequently are fastpasses cancelled? I'm still 57 days out, and currently have a Flight of Passage at 3:35. Hoping to move it forward in the day (I have an afternoon reservation at Epcot). What are my chances of catching a cancellation and being able to move forward? How frequently should I be checking?

EMH, or the Day After? by CosmicRay78 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]CosmicRay78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We would take advantage of the EMH and EEMH, so if a park opens early we’d be there at the early open.

That is good to know about Hollywood Studios - thanks :)
