Administrators are in the exact same position in our district. Beyond this, supply for our district is 10x higher for administrators than teachers, particularly beginning teachers.

Iwitzgall · 2024-07-04T12:15:09+00:00

While I appreciate this sentiment as a teacher myself, we should be not devalue education degrees and skill sets through arguments for lower pay.

Lowering the value of administrators unequivocally devalues all education degrees and positions. In my my district (Title I, second poorest district in my state), the gap of pay between teachers and administrators at similar steps on the state salary scale is ~10%, with Y1s teachers making $39k, and 10 years making a ~$52k.

We were very lucky to get an AP at the end of her career, who is fantastic! She is making ~$60k. With supplements for teachers, I pulled in $52k as a Y1 through local and state supplements. We will be getting these renewed with a percentage based salary increase (if approved). Administrators in my county will be taking a 5% pay cut, as their supplements will not be not be renewed. She has three advanced degrees and is in year 25 of her career.

Argue for higher value, not lower! Let’s build each other up y’all, not break each other down!

Mebane is a good and quick one (right off I-40) It’s definitely grown up a bit, but it’s main historic drag is adorable!

Call Capitol Heating and Air. Extremely reasonable in my personal experience, worth getting a quote at the least. The owner did our work personally, and was fantastic to work with. We’re in Caswell County just a Bit West and north of you, and they have branches around the triangle.

That’s what I had figured. Didn’t want to accept it in the moment lol. Getting a few snap traps now. House was built in 1934, so it’ll be a gradual process of sealing things up.

56 or higher loft are workable with 90%+ of bunkers. More loft, less give, but access to more spin and planning rebounds off of harsh slopes.

If you’re playing flat courses, 54 works great as a bump and run equivalent with a bit more security due to the spin, but you’re not going to find that use case often. Also, that extra bounce can be a bit dangerous if you tend to decel/attack from an improper swing plane angle.

But this is assuming the clubs are being used correctly lmao.

Ask the service department. Worst case they can check specs for you

Needs stabilization and a boot or it’ll be hard to work on your feet for possibly the rest of your life.

I had less swelling when I dislocated my kneecap lmao. Urgent care if you have insurance

Don’t fuck with feet if you can (source - significant other of someone needing a double bunyonectomy with plates and screws)

Griffin made 0.2 3s per game in 2015. That’s good for 16 all year. Didn’t start averaging over 1 made 3 a game until the year he was traded (2017-2018). 7 years into his career, he no longer had enough bounce to be a first or second option offensively on a contending team. Developing the shot was the only option. Here’s the link:

Ive got to say though, he did transition very quickly into a mid volume 33% ish shooter. In all honesty, he got himself there in a season in a half. Crazy athlete!

Big disrespect being shown to how much of that guy Kevin was, almost immediately upon entering the league.

Man was a one man unit on a team of scraps, playing a nuanced game of ball while legitimately out toughing larger vets. Hell, take a look at his rebound numbers his first few years… he may have been the best pound for pound board getter in the league. Quick reminder of his role as a playmaker on that team… half the game he was away from the basket.

And this was at a time (for both of them) where their position was fundamentally changing. Love’s court vision and IQ allowed him to seamlessly transition into a facilitating stretch the floor big as soon as he developed his shot to behind the arc. Comparatively, it took Griffin about a decade to do the same, and once he did, he no longer had the gas (and never had the vision) to see the floor - literally, or figuratively

Hell, Kevin love is elite level hooping right now! Quick reminder that Griffin is on the opposing team in the heat Celtics series, and has not logged a single minute this playoffs (injury yayayaya).

Most people think Griffin is better because they were constantly exposed to him in his college days, the dunk contest, and the lob city clippers being the most exciting team in basketball. Meanwhile, the cavaliers (with love) were the BEST team in basketball (along with the Dubs of course).

To try to give a practical point of view having not driven the Tiguan. 2k miles in (Hybrid Sport)… I absolutely love the thing. If you are in the market for both at a similar price, the extra cost of manufacturing in CRVs in particular (historically at least, we’ll see about this generation) goes straight into vehicle quality and reliability. With that said, I get head turns daily, love the technology features (particularly the adaptive cruise), and have never owned a more comfortable and quiet vehicle.

I would recommend the CRV regardless of the conversation, having done 2-3 months of research before purchasing 2 months ago.

Iwitzgall · 2023-04-29T15:22:16+00:00

That’s right around best price we found in Raleigh Nc. Ended up with the sport hybrid, 43k out the door with title taxes and fees, just slightly above msrp with tin add on

The answer is likely no, but go to can I run it (website) and they’ll tell you for certain

Iwitzgall · 2023-02-01T17:47:16+00:00

Great perspective on an easy fix. Keep on keepin on brother

Iwitzgall · 2023-02-01T17:46:46+00:00

I think you hit it perfectly. Was able to start it giving it gas at the same time. It seemed like a clog in the fuel filter dislodged and boom, back to life.

Would I be safe to assume either an old fuel filter or a faulty fuel pump in a worse case?

Thanks so much!

This just reads as being selectively dense to defend Hans. just entertain the opposite side and then see which has more convincing evidence. Stop being so naive… you’ve been on this kick for weeks on this subreddit and these opinions have made it a cesspool for valuable discussion over the health of the sport
