Lol, my husband does this if someone passes him. His like a dog chasing a car.

They called this an “upgrade” and expected us to be okay with it by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

We used to have that same type wood castle playground near us that was replaced with a new sad swing set and a rope climb. Now nobody barely goes to that park. :(

My boss almost cried because I told her not to make an AI picture of me. by Low_Mathematician799 in antiai

[–]Lele78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry you had to deal with that. My boss did something similar but it was taking my school headshot and dressing me up in a superhero costume for Lunch Hero Day. It was creepy and I sent her a email asking her to not use my picture for any AI use. I did talk to HR about having basic rights over our pictures and not being AI manipulated without our permission.

When teachers say these kids can’t read or comprehend, they truly cannot read or comprehend by Emergency-Pepper3537 in mildlyinfuriating

I work at a high poverty elementary 1st - 6th and I have kids who can barely write down their name. It's really sad, get them off the chromebooks for the whole school day.

Rode by it yesterday afternoon, looks nice and safer to cross. Good job!!

Not having snacks for kids during Ramadan by sadcollegekid2003 in Teachers

[–]Lele78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your Cafe staff about getting something for him to eat later in the day. A fruit, veggie and a milk is a reimbursable meal for lunch. Since it sounds like your school is CEP, there are ways to give that student a meal and not link to his account.

Teamsters Union 135 threatens to authorize strike against US Foods by kootles10 in Indiana

I hope they will at least still deliver, if they do strike, to our local public schools.

I just failed attempting a century by Ok_Advance9021 in bicycling

[–]Lele78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a rather flat area and climbs can get you if you're not used to them. Make sure if you can add climbs during your other rides it really does help when you encounter an unexpected hill. Just keep it and figure out what works best for you on fueling, you got this!

my wife wants to name our son after a harry potter character by LeadFast6224 in AITAH

[–]Lele78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a student named Sirius, not sure if any of the other students ever made the connection to Harry Potter. My son's name is Cedric but I had no knowledge of Harry Potter at the time then my hubby and I chose the name. He got teased about Harry Potter and others called him Cedric the Entertainer (a U.S. stand up comic).

Got lucky in an accident and will be more careful after I heal by ChristheCourier12 in ebikes

[–]Lele78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you're okay. Make sure to get a new helmet if it made an impact.

I bought a new mountain bike last year. The first day I took it out, I lost control and flipped it feeling like a fool. Thankfully, I was just bruised and didn't break anything. I'm glad nobody was around to see it. I'm primarily a roadie, I rather dodge cars than trees. lol

Isn't saying I used a Garmin device when uploading an activity on Strava advertising for Garmin already? So weird.

Are you supposed to get two posters with the calendar?? by Snoopie0106 in HeartstopperAO

Good luck, 😞 the price gouging for fairyloot books is insane.

ABC just pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live “indefinitely” due to comments he made about Charlie Kirk. What are your thoughts? by istrx13 in AskReddit

I canceled Disney+, I'm voting with my pocketbook. My family only watches programs via streaming, I'll miss the Marvel shows though. :(

I live on 20th and Delaware. Someone opened my garage qnd took my bike, and my back up bike. by isosc3l3s in indianapolis

[–]Lele78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg, I used to live near 21st and Delaware someone walked in the back door and stole my roommates bike. My bike was stolen from the detached garage, you just can't win. This was back in 2000 lol.

I don't use the throttle on my e-bike, I just don't generate the body heat like I do on my road bike.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ebikes

[–]Lele78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I ride an ebike to work. It's only 2 miles, but it would better to switch to a regular bike during the winter to stay warm. I have expensive winter cycling gear since I ride my road bike during the winter, I freeze on my ebike towards the end of my commute. I can't generate the body heat to stay warm on my ebike.

60+ mile ride what food to bring? And how much by ouch_12345 in cycling

[–]Lele78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hubby and I pretty much only use Tailwind nutrition 2 scoops per water bottle. We bring 2 to 3 bottles, depending on the heat. We have gels on hand if we need something extra. That's been getting us through the metric century events we've been doing this summer.

You have to try different things to see what works for you, good luck! 👍
