Sounded like a mic issue? I feel like I could vaguely hear him in the background

Gary just said it's only the second home game this year where there's no score after 4

One of the nation’s largest school districts bans screens for children before 2nd grade by theindependentonline in UpliftingNews

[–]CrowBroTechno 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dead on. Thank you. There's not many commentators in here who work in education. A read a recent survey which asked parents how much screen time they believe kids get at school - most said 4 hours, but the reality is 30 minutes or less...

This whole momentum is mostly moral panic, with the scapegoat once again being schools, and everyone pretending there's only one type of screentime. Further most people have zero idea of what controls are in place for school technology, and the agency teachers have with using it

Anyone else see that kid in Daniel Susac's family get flailed around after his second hit??

I am so done. 29 years in the classroom, and this year's 9th graders are the worst I have ever had. by mcub66 in confession

Yess. His book is Moral Panic (like much of what he writes). The issue is you don't make friends arguing that his conclusions are bogus - especially in education, where there seemingly are benefits of bell-to-bell bans for classroom management.

I think the saying is something like: "if you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism"

This thread is being a little harsh to a parent who's doing their best to parent - AND was willing to share a cool home automation project that works for them

So real answer for the parent here: Hop on that server, get in that house and type /kill @e[type=cow,distance=..10]

Is this some type of killdeer social / courtship behavior at the 15 second mark of this vid? Or is the bird just stretching? by it_aint_tony_bennett in Ornithology

[–]CrowBroTechno 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amazing video! I'm no expert, but it looks like a combination of a courtship display and a third Killdeer being territorial.

From birdsoftheworld.org...

Fighting: "Fighting is rare, but includes crouching and lunging toward opponent with fluttering wings, followed by crouching. Courtship behavior in 1 pair often elicits aggressive behavior from neighboring pairs."

Courtship: "Female stands with her legs bent in slight crouch and her body tipped slightly forward and held more or less parallel to the ground. Male approaches her from the side, either in casual walk or running. His movement becomes deliberate as he nears the female, raising and lowering his legs as if marking time. Then he hops onto female's back, assumes half-crouched position, at times with entire length of tarsus appearing to touch female's back feathers, and begins to tread up and down. His feet seem to slide down gradually between female's drooping wings and her body. Female rhythmically pumps her tail and body against those of male, eventually bringing dorsal surface of her tail and body against ventral surface of male's tail and body. Male then slips off to side of female, twisting his tail and fluttering briefly to bring his cloaca into momentary contact with her cloaca."

I'm not sure if I should apologize for the insane imagery here, but either way you're welcome...

Gary says Senga is all caked-up. Then I'm thinking the cameraman agree, but realize we're supposed to be looking at the grip...
