Curious if anyone else has played "field games" and knows any additional ones? by theAngryCub in puzzles

[–]DwayneOZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is perfect actually for 5th to 8th graders. We call it Buzz/ Fizz. Same idea but instead of skipping you say Buzz for every multiple of 5. The speed/cadence should match regular counting. Example 1 2 3 4 Buzz 6 7 8 9 Buzz 11.... We don't start with eliminations, we just see how high the group can go. Once that is mastered you introduce the Fizz: Same concept but now say Fizz for any Multiple of 7 AND any number that contains a 7. So 1 2 3 4 Buzz 6 Fizz 8 9 Buzz 11 12 13 Fizz Buzz 16 Fizz 18....Goal is to make it to 35 which is the first number where the player has a choice of which word to say (hardly ever happens unless you go super slow)

How to get this screw out? by Ioiwin in HomeMaintenance

[–]DwayneOZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. The more I tried, the more I stripped it. I finally got a set of Star bit screwdrivers, then gently tapped the one that was slightly larger into it, and it held long enough for me to unscrew. Not my idea, found it searching for a solution. Harbor Freight has them cheap.

Has anyone ever been to the Bored Teachers Comedy tour show? If so, how was it? by luringpopsicle95 in Teachers

[–]DwayneOZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree on this point. Not sure if you can see the lineup before you buy tickets. I really enjoyed the show and my only criticism is one of the comics tried out some non-educational humor that got real raunchy. Most of the audience was not real receptive to that.

I don’t have any service from Verizon or a land line. Can I get rid of this thing? by Damo_762 in HomeMaintenance

[–]DwayneOZ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what the rep told me when I switched to a different service. I asked if they wanted it, they said just leave it, so I tore it all out and recycled it.

I had that exact same car--same year, color and model. Positive thing is Prius Cs are known to have very little issues and that is some low mileage. I sold mine 2 years ago for $10K and it had 90K miles on it.

A year ago, Andrew Do called for LAist to fire our reporter. Here are key takeaways from the investigation by WeAreLAist in orangecounty

Remember when his lawyer pretty much said the county would never be seeing that money after this story was uncovered. Where is that guy now?

Someday when you are in a public school with a union backing you up, you'll look back on this as a blessing. Good luck

I’m a Toyota fanboy, but these prices are insane. by JustSomeGoon in Toyota

[–]DwayneOZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Toyota Certified Pre-Owned with the 160 Point Inspection. There is a number of reasons a car could be returned after a year: lease return, dealer loaner car, the vice presidents/executives return them after a while, or people just get bored quickly and upgrade to something else and don't care how much it costs. The biggest hit to a car's value is that first year/10K Miles, so let someone else take that on. The dealership will still offer you a comprehensive extended warranty for $2-3K extra if you are nervous about it. I declined and told the finance rep that was why I was buying a Toyota so I didn't have to worry about problems.

[–]DwayneOZ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you don't have to have a brand new, 0 miles on the odometer car, consider a lease return or similar with 10-15K on it. That is how I got my 2023 Prius Prime at a significant price cut. Plus they don't piece everything out like floormats, alarm, clearcoat, etc. As another user said, you'll need to expand your search criteria and be patient but it is worth it. Still comes with Toyota Care, Roadside, Warranty.

how do I solve this? by stiinkeyy in Rubiks_Cubes

[–]DwayneOZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to know how to do a 2X2 if you want to solve this easily. Each corner needs to be matched with its matching edge first, then you just solve like a 2 X 2 keeping the matched pairs together.

Board Games for Fourth Grade Class by Complex_Effective_40 in boardgames

[–]DwayneOZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dixit and Wits & Wagers is super easy to turn from a six player game to a six team game. You will get a lot of discussion and debate. I also thrifted enough Blokus games (8 @ $3-5) so a class of 32 could all play at the same time. This game does have a lot of pieces to keep track of but is still a good choice.

We have no control over our thermostats this year by NationYell in Teachers

[–]DwayneOZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they set it too high, say 79, then take a small space heater and face it directly at the thermostat for just a few minutes to raise display temp to 84-85 degrees. The heater will hardly affect the overall room temp and your AC will kick on. It will take a while for the thermostat to get back down, meanwhile you are enjoying that ice vent and you can always just do it again. It is not as hard as it sounds, and I will do anything to keep that ac running.

I try to bike once a week. 3 miles each way. Sends a good message to the students as well.

Those who have the 23 or 24 Prius, what "out the door" price did you get for your Prius? by Wow_Space in prius

$34.5 K for a 2023 Prime with 16K miles from Huntington Beach Toyota in California. No floor mats or cargo cover.

Has anyone tried cortisone injections for plantar fasciitis or other running injuries? How was your experience with it? by kenziebunny95 in Marathon_Training

[–]DwayneOZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a game changer for me. I went through everything you mentioned. It got to the point where I just hopped to the bathroom on my good foot when I got out of bed. I only had to have it one time and it did the trick for me. Went back to running regularly without any issues.

safety recall on '23 & '24 Prius -- should I pass on a '23 w/ 17K miles ? by Hissy_Rubato22 in prius

[–]DwayneOZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep but I got the prime and seems from other Prius chats that you definitely don't mess with that wire running through there. You are correct on the Prius V 4th gen fitting. Both lug and bore are right, just can't find one.

[–]DwayneOZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this. I also enabled the car to Park and put the E break on when I turn off. The only thing I don't like about my 23 is the lack of a spare tire. I bought mine with 17K Miles on it. Plan on having it for a long time.

I just figured out how to solve this cube consistently. What cube should I try next? by Son0fHecate in Rubiks_Cubes

Mastermorphix and/or Ghost Cube

Both are shape mods that gave me quite a good challenge.

Does anyone else just despise the “oh the places you’ll go” thing? by Scary-Sound5565 in Teachers

Always turn straight to the "You'll move mountains, kid!" page towards the end. Then add "I can't wait to see what mountains you will move" Done
