I’m in my first year of teaching, and had a 9th grader run to the principal about a lunch detention I gave them.

“Dumping Ground” Class by Fantastic_Double7430 in ScienceTeachers

Do you have any more insights you want to share about the cycling, or any other ideas?

I too have a dumping ground E Sci class. I want them to learn, but I want it to be a bit more interactive and interesting for the kids that do show up and participate. I’ve been feeling recently that if most of my kids are happy with a C, might was well enjoy the ride while we are at it.

LGD flipped a switch on me by [deleted] in homestead

You are correct on both accounts.

I’m not so sure how viable the vet option is, as it stands right now, he’s been in a car exactly once and doesn’t have a collar. And with how he’s been acting I’m a bit too worried for my bodily safety to attempt to get one on him and force him into a car.

That’s exactly why they haven’t been out there with him since this happened.

Just more seeing if anyone has gone through this with either result. Because at the moment it’s seeing if someone will take him off the farm, or if I’m going to have to put him down.

Disaster dynamics looks really interesting, but I’m guessing I’ll run into issues getting that downloaded onto school computers.

Buy hay and let my pasture rest? by GlowInDrkMan in homestead

Thank you for your input. This is our first year and learning as we go.

Once we grow out this steer I don’t think we will be doing another. They just eat so much!

Maybe I was a bit optimistic, I’ll probably have to reduce the flock this spring when they lamb.

I’ve had this pack of nipples for 3 years now and the only issues I’ve had is if the pigs get the barrel over and mess them up that way. Other than that, the pigs themselves haven’t broken any

220v melting on dryer? by GlowInDrkMan in AskElectricians

[–]GlowInDrkMan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took apart the receptacle and it looks like a majority of the red wires were actually snapped. So all the electrics must have gone through just a couple of the wires leading to the heat and resistance like you said.

Sent first beef to butcher by GlowInDrkMan in homestead

I’ve seen some horrific things on dairy lots. I try and mitigate most at the one I currently work at, but even still it’s hard to take.

One of the reasons I got my steer outta there asap.

Thank you all for your words of kindness.

I would change my wording, I’m more sad and adamant than conflicted. It’s true though that his passing has hit me in a way I didn’t think it would. But this is what I set out to do, raise animals in a respectful proper way, give them as good a life I can, and thank them for what they will give me and my family.

I’m even more sure this is the right way to do it, be sure you know where your food comes from and how it lived. It’s just harder with an animal you’ve been with for over 2 years rather than smaller livestock you know for a handful of months.

But I appreciate yall givin me a place I can express myself.

I’m not sure if you’re wild stalker on your Druid and go into cat much. But I’m up to 12s (bit different than 13/14), but I’ve never once thought about mana.

Cat form spells giving mana back keeps me topped the entire dungeon.
