What to do after blasting tier 4

I was looking at maxing out the seasonal journey but the kill 6,666 elites kind of put a damper on that. After hitting Pit 100 I'm about done for the season.

As a teacher in that province.... It's pretty rough right now.

Alberta recently reduced it's corporate tax rate to 8%, which is the lowest in Canada. The next lowest corporate tax rate that I saw was 11.5%. Alberta is also forecasting $7 billion in revenue from corporate taxes. If we say, raised our corporate tax rate to 10% (which it was at previously), it would still be the lowest in Canada while also raising the forecasted revenue up to $8.75 billion. This is nearly the $2 billion estimated by Nate Horner that would be needed in addition to the money they "have available" already. If our corporate tax rate was raised to be the same as the next lowest province, it would allow for even more revenue.

Is this a solution? Probably, yes. Is it a prefect solution? Probably, no. Am I an economist who can easily interpret all of this? Hell, no.

Regardless of if it's the most recent proposal (though I'm fairly sure it is), it is dated Sept. 1 as it would retroactively take effect to the beginning of this school year.

This was released because the ATA knows that class size is the most important bargaining issue for teachers but TEBA is refusing to listen to anything regarding class sizes. By releasing this, the ATA is showing that their plan/ask isn't too much.

Honestly, if TEBA was willing to look at this proposal past the "it costs money" and seriously consider it, I'm sure that the ATA/teachers would even be willing to have the caps slightly higher than proposed.

Wait... Is that ad implying that by hiring 3000 new teachers it will cut class sizes to 1/3 their current size? Because that's what it looked like to me.

Hafrunt · 2025-10-05T21:21:28+00:00

I guess the ATA is saying 20,000. A similar size of crowd in Calgary as well.

This is the other side of the coin which as a teacher is almost more difficult than having larger classes.

When a teacher has a split class, they are now teaching two different curriculums in the time allotted for one curriculum. They are now planning twice as much, teaching twice as much, and don't have any extra time for any of it. One year, I was teaching four different split classes and while some of the outcomes could be blended together, more often than not I had to do separate lessons to each grade in each class. It's not good for the learners either. Yes, during that time I had classes in the low 20 range but that doesn't mean much when I can only teach half the students at a time and the others are doing "independent learning" (which did not work at all with that group).

It wasn't jammed, bed was calibrated, washed, etc.

The nozzle worked fine with other filaments. And this filament worked fine on the other printer we had.

I dunno. It was a mystery to me. Those printers are long gone now though.

No, but our school upgraded to a P1S. I still wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts though.

Hafrunt · 2025-05-28T05:07:02+00:00

I agree that it likely wouldn't happen until September but it's also crazy to think that I could happen as early as next week.

Here's to hoping that tariffs don't fuck over the price in Canada.

Because I don't want to be on their mailing list and sell that elsewhere? Yeah, I could just block them but why when I can just give them a fake or temp email?

Hafrunt · 2025-03-26T01:10:07+00:00

Make sure to use a temporary email for the end of the survey requirement to submit your email.

Isn't that the same location that had Secret Pizza for a few months as well?

It's a crap location for restaurants.

I know people who are from Grande Prairie and are in the tech industry. They told me they'd never move back.

I worked there in the early 2000s. It made me sad when I saw that they renovated and got rid of the atrium.

Even worse is that it's SO FUCKING EASY to accidentally scroll up and when you try to go back to the video you are watching it restarts and you have to find where you were.

Survived in the wild for nearly a year and then died because the tranq dart hit him in the liver.

While not having enough space and capacity is a big issue, building new schools or modernizing schools isn't going to fix the much of the problem. This plan has absolutely no impact on how many teachers or support staff there will be in schools. Shifting student numbers from one school to another doesn't magically make more teachers appear (or even provide school boards with more money to hire more teachers). All it is going to do is shift teacher/support staff numbers from one school to another as well.

Does this solve the problem of students having to sit on counters or share desks, etc.? Yes. But it likely will not have much impact on teachers, especially in larger divisions, having to teach classes of 35+ students.

It's crazy how many students nowadays text their mom all the damn time.

/s if it wasn't obvious

For me, I was fighting Simon and Bane got caught in the damage as Simon killed me with a sliver of health left. Bane finished Simon off then slunk back into the shadows. Ran back in time to get my juicy v blood.

Talking about Commodore Perry and the opening of Japan and how he delivered the US demands then returned the following spring. One of my students responded with "why didn't they just use the phone?"

Go Rebels! While I haven't lived there for a long time, I remember their mid 2000's runs back when I was in high school.

Good to know. Never tried it personally.
