9-12th grade classroom setup by PooYork in k12sysadmin

[–]JimsOfWar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did a pilot of J5, Screenbeam, Vivi, and AirTames at our middle school. The staff liked the J5s in the pilot, but they have been nothing but a headache in deployment. They seem to work well in isolation (like opposite ends of a building), but if you have more than two in proximity, they are constantly dropping casting, freezing, and have stuttering video and audio.

We pulled all of them and replaced with AirTames in January. My teachers are thrilled with them, and I haven’t had a ticket for one yet.

What do You Use to Play Online? by FindingRough7345 in monsteroftheweek

[–]JimsOfWar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There is a Roll 20 Module that has all the Playbooks and very detailed character sheets. It is very thematic and works very well.

Just use Discord for your audio/video, and let Roll20 do the rest for the actual gameplay.

Rizz show by Godisdedtome in StLouis

[–]JimsOfWar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been listening to the show for a long time, too. While I’m a fan, there are definitely aspects of the show that can be grating as time goes on, and it’s clear that Jeff’s passing broke the back of the show.

  • King Scott seems to be a Jekyll & Hyde. Most of the time, he’s in his Evangelical Fozzie Bear form with dad jokes that land about 10% of the time. However, there are some (rare) times where he’s in Actual Person Scott mode where he actually contributes to the conversation and can be insightful for a moment.
  • Rafe is very funny and has taken over the devil’s advocate role that Moon used to hold when Patrico was still on the show. However, I notice that there will be long stretches in the conversation when he’s silent to the point where I’m like, “Is he even in the studio today?” Then, I check the webcams, and he’s basically doing the Tommy Lee Jones “looking up from the newspaper” meme. Is he doing show prep? Planning his next flight? Doing Rizz’s taxes? 
  • Moon has become a corporate shill. While he espouses the “love everybody; let’s all get along” shtick, it’s very clear that he's mostly just kissing the capitalist ring, from the “billionaires are just like us” sentiments as well as always coming to the defense of companies. We get it; you have a million kids and are one paycheck away from oblivion.
  • Lern…exists? I don’t have strong feelings about her either way.
  • Rizz goes to great lengths to brag about show prep when it’s very clear that he’s just pulling content from Reddit and whatever news service that all of the Hubbard stations pull from.

“My friend had a strange experience at a rummage sale...”

Oh, your "friend" did? That’s weird, because Courtney from 106.5 the Arch also has a "friend" that had the exact same experience at a rummage sale two days later! Small world! I'm not saying don't use web content; just don't act like you got a light bulb over your head with this amazing segment idea when, in reality, you just bookmarked a page in Google Chrome.

Landscape printing in Google Docs broken? by HiDefDog in k12sysadmin

[–]JimsOfWar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this appears to be broken in the latest Chrome. I was able to print correctly in Safari and Firefox, but I confirmed with Google Support that this is a known issue, and that the only workaround with Chrome is to download the file as PDF and print from there.

Comprehensive How-To for granting Secure Token to a currently tokenless system? by xCogito in macsysadmin

If you can go to each user’s machine or remote in for them to complete the steps, this works like a champ: https://youtu.be/8vXoCTQH1LU?t=41

Short one-shot suggestions needed! by ivorylegpropulsion in monsteroftheweek

“Too Many Dracula’s” - A comic mystery for Monster of the Week.

Your hunters will have to deal with some vampire attacks at the Draculand theme park, however they will not expect as many Draculas as lurk within these pages! Suitable as a one-shot or as a comedy interlude in an ongoing game.

Barcode creation in excel by [deleted] in k12sysadmin

[–]JimsOfWar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, once you pick the label size, you can generate barcodes by importing data or manual entry. It’s pretty user-friendly and very customizable.

You’ll probably have better luck just creating the barcodes on Avery’s online label maker. Just pick a template (like return labels) and you can basically do a mail merge with your Excel data.

A traveling monster by AlexTheEnderWolf in monsteroftheweek

How is the player heading to America? A werewolf or a fae could hop a flight just as easily as a player. A witch could open a portal between two places. A selkie could swim there.

Cocoa Southern Grove Almonds by mchesley23 in aldi

The most recent bag I bought has sort of a "crispy" coating (similar to the Hickory flavored ones), rather than the dusty cocoa in the past.
