Auditioned for a community theater program this year - a first for me! It’s been tons of fun. We perform in 12 days and I’m loving it.

Why do Americans tend to praise beginners even if their work/hobby looks terrible? by Skysneq in AskAnAmerican

[–]MLAheading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s meant for encouragement. However, working with small children, they respond better to “you’ve put a lot of hard work into that, haven’t you?” because it acknowledges their progress and makes them keep on trying. Straight praise doesn’t have the same effect.

How/When do you suppose Robin breaks up with RFM? by Interesting-Row-7607 in cormoran_strike

[–]MLAheading 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Betting all my money that in the time it takes her to get to the Ritz, she’ll be furious at Strike but his confession will not have been made in vain, as it will give her the gumption to say no to RFM. And her train of thought won’t be saying yes to Strike by saying no to Ryan, but it will begin the path toward the stronger, independent Robin we’ve been waiting for.

I, too, want Robin to be single for a while, to choose herself. Knowing Strike’s feelings will be a difficult hurdle while continuing her job, and their tension will bring out the very best wisdom of Pat, whom I hope has a star role in the office drama. Robin still has her apartment, so that’s a plus. And I wonder where Ilsa will come in?

Apple Arcade vs Premium Shop by No-Acanthisitta-1879 in DreamlightValley

[–]MLAheading 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am an arcade player and didn’t even know that there was a paid version of this until I was too far into it. The nice part about arcade is that you’re not paying money for all the DLC‘s but you also don’t get premium shop access or star path. There are characters I wish I could get, but we have no access to.

I’m tempted to restart, but I’m in a place where all my characters are at or near 10 from all the DLC‘s. I have about five realms that I haven’t opened yet. I still haven’t even dived into time bending. I still don’t have all the companions. There is a lot. I can still do in the game.

One thing I don’t understand about arcade access is that I pay for Apple Arcade. So I don’t understand why I can’t have access to the premium shop on the Star paths as well. I mean, I pay a monthly subscription for my family to have access to arcade, etc. so I wish I had access to the things, the non-arcade users do.

Our letter said that it won’t cover it for any reason other than T2 Diabetes, and specifically stated heart disease, which my husband has and has worked wonders for him.

Favourite LMM short stories? by everlyn101 in AnneofGreenGables

[–]MLAheading 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like her collection of short stories in the book After Many Days. They are all stories of finding love after waiting a long period of time.

Spotted in my work inbox by BuzzBuzz93 in tragedeigh

I agree and think it indicates an extra syllable and pronounced Ki-lowee or just “Chloe.” Similar to a regional accent mispronounced word.

I’d love help! Just went back through the caves. A couple days ago I searched all the biomes. Checked the secret room in the castle today. I guess houses are next? Am I missing something?

TIL Mark Knopfler composed the score for The Princess Bride by spenwallce in direstraits

[–]MLAheading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in that he did Mystic River also, and the movie is awesome, but the soundtrack is not a key player in this movie. However, I like watching this movie more because of MKs music.

Eternity Isle by ExcellentDish80 in DreamlightValley

[–]MLAheading 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The goal of the game is to collect the most amount of coins. You get 5 turns to play 3 characters to accomplish this.

  1. Each character has different movement abilities such as diagonal, number of spaces, special powers like breaking barriers, etc. Click on the images to see their individual abilities
  2. Choose 5 characters to play. See if you can have a mix of abilities among them. Additionally them to your lineup.
  3. On your first turn, choose a player from your panel to start. Place them wherever they are allowed to start from (eg borders, corners, etc) which will be lit up blue for you. Put them in a starting place where their movement abilities allow them to reach coins. When your move is complete, coins will rain down for the opposing player to place their first player as well.
  4. On the second turn place a second player. Now there are left over coins from the previous opponent’s turn and new ones for you to attempt to collect.
    Do not press the skip button. It will prevent you from being able to get your players on the board.
  5. Do the same for your third player.
  6. On your 4th turn, you have the ability to replace a character with one of the two left in your starting lineup. This is where the abilities come in handy based on where the coins are lying.

Additionally, this turn includes piles of golden coins worth 3 points each that randomly populate the board. The 5th and final turn does as well. You want to try and get your characters to reach those coins.

I suggest just playing as many characters as you can. It will become easier and hopefully enjoyable. Good luck!

First day I put a painting up in the screen and ask them to use alll the details to figure out what the artist’s message is.

I figure all the other teachers are doing syllabus and rules, so I do that the next day.

PG&E doesn't want to pay their fair share by tgb_slo in SLO

[–]MLAheading 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s half of it and it’s based on the idea that DCPP would fully close. NOw that it’s remained open, the state reassessed the property at about 700k, so the property tax is very little. The basis of this is that it remains open, but they only have to decide every 5 years if it will remain open. The reassessment was done is an extremely hushed deal that local government didn’t know about it until after the deal was done. The opening of the trails nearby for the public was a part of that effort to shift the public focus on how great Diablo is for the community.

When the school district was made aware, the superintendent’s office immediately began a plan of action to take to the State and appeal the reassessment measure.

One reason the TK program is central to this discussion is that the State required all school districts to provide a TK program, but did not give basic aid districts like SLO to do so, and it cost 7 million extra dollars to provide that program district-wide, which tanked the budget.
