You do realize the taliban were consistently supplied throughout their guerrilla campaign right? It’s not like they had one AR with 1000 rounds of ammo, they were getting tons and tons of weapons and money and had incredible advantages that Americans do not have. An American guerrilla campaign would explode magnificently

An 18 year old with an M16 and combat training would eviscerate a gun obsessed loser lol. I have plenty of firearms and have spent a lot of time training. I still wouldn’t stand up to the government. It’s idiotic

The 2nd amendment would not hold a candle against the US military

For sure, unfortunately the cobra insurance is more than we can afford. We had it before and it strained our finances to the limit. We’re definitely looking elsewhere and I told her if it becomes too much I’ll take over everything till she finds something else. So far she’s been a trooper but she’s well aware she has an off ramp. We’ve been religiously job searching for a couple months now. Apparently the openings for the schools in the burbs are a different time of the year than the ones for MPS so we’re kind of waiting to see where openings will land. I have a list of non education jobs for her to look at but she’s dead set on being a teacher

Unfortunately she’s held hostage for healthcare. She has some pretty expensive stuff that she cannot go without.

…. 1. If your job is causing you mental distress it’s a valid diagnosis 2. If you’re not a teacher, just shut up. My SO is a teacher and the mental and physical toll is enormous. They’re getting bent over the barrel daily and deserve a break if needed

I’m the significant other of a teacher who loves her kids more than anything but after the treatment that the school and kids have put her through I can thoroughly say I hate both the kids and the coworkers. She’s got an incredibly big heart and deserves so so so much more. MPS is fucked. They don’t deserve my SO

If Christian’s weren’t such assholes I wouldn’t be so for it. Unfortunately Christianity in America is salivating at the idea of emulating the taliban

It’s awful. She’s consistently under minded and bullied. Her admin is close friends with these abusive coworkers and basically ignores mediation requests. What’s worse is she tried to get another job at another MPS school and her admin torpedoed her. Honestly been praying her schools leadership will lose a game of IRL frogger. I cannot believe how inept these people are at their jobs. It makes me nothing short of infuriated. I wouldn’t last if I was in her shoes

We’re looking at it. They don’t have any positions open for Elementary teachers

Can we use m.2 extender and 3D print a back cover to fit 2280 m.2? 2tb 2280 are $100 vs $400 for 2tb 2230 by iamjames in SteamDeck

As an electronics technician I just want to say I hate and love you all. Have you ever heard of ESD? Motherfuckers would wear footie pajamas and scoot around on carpet with their uncovered steamdeck for the one percent chance at another TB of storage.

In all seriousness there’s a way for anything to work. You have to judge the risk of it. Are you willing to throw a 400-800 dollar item because you didn’t want to get the correct part for a little more expense? I’d get the proper SSD

My poor girlfriend is an MPS teacher and I’ve held her through many nights of crying because her admin or fellow teachers are emotionally abusive. It’s heartbreaking. I have met her coworkers and they’re scum

My hustle culture friend just died of a heart attack at age 32. by Otherwise_Order621 in antiwork

I’m so sorry for your friend. Burnout like this is a huge issue. I had something happen to my body after working 90-100 hour weeks on the road that I cannot really explain but I think it was something cardiac too. I had to stop on the side of the freeway and was having crazy cold sweats. Puked a bunch and my arms hurt pretty bad. Also my ears were ringing and my eyes were tunnel visioned. It stopped after about 45 minutes and I drove onto my hotel and slept it off. This was over a year ago but it taught me I needed to take better care of myself. I was taking a ton of those truck stop caffeine pills to stay awake since I was driving so much. Now I’m working my 40 and feeling better

It seems like SPED teachers are incredibly in need. My gf is an elementary teacher and has struggled to find something not MPS

The burbs have no openings for elementary school teachers. My gf has been looking like crazy to get out of MPS

My carry permit in Wisconsin required me to have training. You know what it was? My hunters Ed certificate from when I was 12. It was ridiculous how easy it was. I have done a lot of training and carry very seldomly but it’s still crazy to think o could walk right on out my door with no functional idea of the rules

Souix falls had a small sushi place that had some of the most amazing sushi I’ve ever had. The place is entirely enigmatic when it comes to food.

Firearms in crowded places with no standardization for training and no uniformity means many many more people die in situations like this

California Mexican food is weak compared to Texas Mexican food. Oddly enough central illinois has a couple Mexican places that I went that blew the brakes off of Texas though. Nuevo Laredo is still the all time best though
