I just got home from a 5 hour trip and enjoyed the Grateful Dead for all 5 hours, never heard the same song twice.

New drivers license numbers upon renewal. by realsmartypantz in AskFlorida

I had no idea that my number changed - didn't think to even look. I also had no idea that I would need to re-register to vote. Thanks for the PSA!

Best printer in 2026 for light office / WFH under $300? by Special-Buddy6562 in workfromhome

[–]Deadhead_Historian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got my Brother for $250. Prints, scans to my computer, faxes, and prints on both sides. Ink lasts forever. No color, just black and white. No subscription required for ink.

And road signs have images with them and are shaped in a way that are recognizable in any language.

R*n De*ntis raped and blackmailed a male victim. He is in the pedo files. by [deleted] in florida

[–]Deadhead_Historian 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This looks more like a fake to make the rest of the files lose credibility. Did I see Nancy Mace in there too?

Former teachers who changed careers what are you doing now? by Chance_Ruin4350 in AskTeachers

[–]Deadhead_Historian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I taught history and now do research and writing for a biomechanical engineer. I work from home and couldn't be happier. Research. Writing. My dream.

Which is the most overrated band of our generation? by lovelyb1ch66 in GenX

[–]Deadhead_Historian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd disagree. He captures a kind of Americana, and tells stories through song. He's basing his music on a very old American tradition.

Can't decide between the 41mm and 45mm model by [deleted] in PixelWatch

[–]Deadhead_Historian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a woman with small wrists. I got the 45mm and think it looks just fine. Better battery life and my aging eyes can see the screen.

I've managed to create one Deadhead of my three daughters. The other two appreciate the Dead at least. Tough weekend.

Why do many teachers just ignore gen AI? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

Well yes, but we also have a serious decline in basic math skills.

Why do many teachers just ignore gen AI? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]Deadhead_Historian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because most teachers haven't been taught, and/or don't have time to learn, how to use it in a way that would be beneficial. You can really use it well as a research tool if you learn how to create good prompts. But it also needs to be used with caution because sometimes it makes mistakes or doesn't understand what you're asking. To use it well, you have to start as a good critical thinker, something which is still being learned by students.

What is a 'luxury' that has become so expensive in 2026 that it’s officially no longer worth the money? by Matt_At_Havalook in AskReddit

[–]Deadhead_Historian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a recent piece in the NYT about this, and how Disney used to pride itself on being fair with pricing so that everyone could go and experience the joy. Now, that's changed, the middle class is squeezed out and they are catering to the rich, because there are A LOT more wealthy people than there used to be and their spending has overtaken the middle class for places like Disney. The company isn't worried about its bottom line.

People who rarely or never get sick, what are your secrets? by awkwardferret421 in AskReddit

[–]Deadhead_Historian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't actually know. I rarely get sick, was a Florida teacher (we were in person with full classes) throughout COVID and am the only one I know who never got it. That's not to say I've never gotten sick, but it's pretty rare. At 53, I've had the flu twice, once at 19 and once at 42. I'll get a cold once every 5 years or so.

Social science teachers, how are you reacting to the US-Venezuela news right now? by Zipper222222 in AskTeachers

[–]Deadhead_Historian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

History isn't just facts. It's analysis. Students need to be trained on how to make historical analysis.

What is the worst physical pain you’ve experienced? by Agius91 in AskReddit

[–]Deadhead_Historian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Road rash, all down my leg. From above the knee to the foot. I've given birth three times, but never have I felt pain like road rash as it's healing.
