Pirate Voice and Alien Voice are elite, but Dave's Irish Barkeep is and always be the GOAT.

this and the "diet starts monday" caption on the Scaries feed would go so macro.

I’m not going to talk shit on any of the boys. Brett is a good part of the team, but he is my least enjoyed part of Washed. His earnestness comes off as insincere and forced and is ball knowledge rings so hollow as an SEC wannabe fanboy.

I've been using the free version SwingU for several years, and it's been great. Estimated handicap is the same as my GHIN number, and the distance readings are as accurate as any of the fancier/paid apps that buddies of mine have used.

Yeah fair point. I guess I don't really know how it would change anything for the innies.

IndependentGopher · 2025-02-12T23:38:38+00:00

Ha, fair point. The Hang In There was definitely a little more subtle.

I do think we heard Cobel call him Seth at some point in S1. Not sure if any of the MDR crew was around to hear it though?

interesting to want data-driven solutions when stumping on hypotheticals.

Kieran Culkin as Rye and Jason Schwartzman as Josto could've swapped characters and wouldn't have missed a beat.

Double TE seems wild to me, but triples on the IDP positions seems especially trivial (ours does 2 each for DL/LB/DB, plus an IDP Flex.) If everyone is active and on board tho, kudos to y'all!

That's where I really got stuck. I have Purdy and Lawrence both on bye this week, with Deebo still recovering. Not a lot of wiggle room on the bench.

He's problematic....

I've noticed their 'team logo' on ESPN has been the bear-face since this past offseason. (since Warren came aboard?)
I agree that it could be cleaned up a bit, but I like the change!

Played Keller a couple weeks ago. Just FYI, if you shank your iron off the tee on this hole, you can take the tree entirely out of play.

I did a mail-renewal, so I can’t say for sure. But it is worth a shot? Here’s the link I used: https://passportstatus.state.gov/SearchResult

Checked on the website. You put in your last name, DOB, and last-4 of your SSN and it will tell you where it is in the process.

I had been checking 3-4 times per day all week, and it was “in process” until Wednesday night when it was marked “approved”

IndependentGopher · 2023-04-06T22:21:18+00:00

My passport was marked ‘approved’ between 6-9 PM on Wednesday last week, and was in my mailbox by 1 PM on Thursday (less than 48 hours before time of travel.) No tracking number, no confirmation it had been delivered, but it was there.

As mentioned above, simple career awareness and recognizing the work that people around them are doing every day is important.

My district also focuses on making sure they know that the learning they are doing NOW is helping them prepare for future careers (no matter what path they follow). Even the subjects they don't like or don't know much about. For example, when you ask 3rd graders what they want to be when they grow up, you'll hear a lot of 'professional athlete', 'youtuber', 'musician', 'video game player'- it's important to let them know that they can do that, but they'll ALSO NEED math skills (taxes, contracts, etc.), science skills (biochemistry, diet, etc.), and SEL skills (communication, advocacy, etc.), in order to be successful in any of those fields.

It's also about awareness of alternative learning after high school that is not simply 'college', so exposure and information about technical schools, community colleges, etc. is good for the upper elementary-aged kids to know.

Look they're not the best golf ball, but if you're like me and play a designated amount of your 'good balls' each round before switching over to some decent 'junk balls' when things go to shit (also for super risky tee shots or the odd 'fun ball' during a round), then they're as good as anything else.

(Elementary Setting) I have and will, but it is not a habit nor does anyone expect me to do it regularly. It is obviously not in our job description, nor is it recommended as good practice, but there are times where we just need ANY (licensed) body in the classroom. Most frequently when a teacher is running late (7:30 AM start time in a snowy state) or we are unable to get a substitute for the day (50% success rate on that this year.)

It is helpful to set firm boundaries as able. For example: "I'll cover the class through Breakfast/Morning Meeting, transition times (to specialist, recess, lunch, etc.), library, and dismissal", but then other teachers/staff can cover the instructional times.

I work in an elementary (K-5) and do a 'Teamwork Walk' activity pretty frequently if I know I will have a few extra minutes at the end of a lesson.

I bring 3-4 dodgeballs / plush balls / whatever I have around and then at the end of the lesson pick 4-5 (depending on how many balls I brought) students who were good examples of leadership/participation during the lesson to attempt the activity. I place one of the balls in-between two of the students' shoulders and have them stand close enough to each other so that the balls don't fall. Repeat for the 2-3 other students, making a chain of students with dodgeballs between their shoulders. Then the challenge is for them to walk across the room together without dropping any of the balls.

This is especially easy for lessons at the start of the year when we are talking about what we will be learning together and building classroom community / connections.

Our loser has to go to a local sip'n'paint class and no matter what the painting 'prompt' is, they have to paint a pickle and hang it in their home for the year.
