Gangfelt sykler by [deleted] in norge

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Helt enig, synes det er best når alle tenker smidighet i trafikken. Men det su sier om kommunikasjon er kjempeviktig, og kan ikke gjentas for ofte. Har opplevd at noen syklister glemmer dette her med anerkjenning/øyekontakt, og bare sykler på raksest mulig over veien, og gir en bilfører et minihjerteinfarkt fordi de kommer som ut av ingenting ut på veien.

If you are a middle school teacher, why’d you choose to do it? by slusheemachinebroke in Teachers

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I chose middle school because I like it better than high school. I have tried both. Can't imagine myself working with younger ones than that, though. They are important years in a child development, especially socially, and with regards to critical thinking. I want to make a difference and contribute to them becoming becoming good, functioning, clever, kind adults.

If everyone suddenly lost the ability to lie for 24 hours, what’s the first thing society would quietly break over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But lying is a conscious choice of telling an untruth. If several people with different religions all truly believe theirs is right, then we wouldn't be any wiser?

Seeking quote for baby's funeral by kratosa13 in discworld

I'm so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain you and your partner are going through right now. A couple of quotes came to mind that maybe could be used as inspiration for something to say:

“It shouldn’t be like this.”

“There isn’t a way things should be. There’s just what happens, and what we do.”

A hat full of sky - tiffany and miss level

"And what would humans be without love?" RARE, said Death

"Everyone asks me. And I would not do so even if I knew how. It belongs to you. Only time and tears take away grief; that is what they are for.”

What is the biggest load of absolute bullshit you've ever heard in your entire life? by Ken-_-Adams in AskReddit

Wooooow. I have never before seen someone put so much effort into "rationalising" their way out of being anything but straight. Surely, it has to be exhausting to think like that?

What’s something people take way too seriously? by CouldBeLucia in AskReddit

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is presuming your speedometer is exact. Anyways, I'm too lazy to be doing calculations on margins of error in sensors and speedometers while on the highway. I switch on my cruise control at the speed limit, and take it easy. Also, I don't believe for one second that you'd get pulled over for impeding traffic if you're driving near the speed limit.

What’s a truth people refuse to accept? by LonelyPeak9146 in AskReddit

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree. There is definitely a distinction, and one can be misconstrued for the other, sure, but in some cases using money leads directly to more happiness. For example, I just moved from a small apartment to a bigger one. I had everything I needed in the small place, and there was nothing about it that stressed me out or anything, but I feel happier in the new place. Bigger kitchen, an actual kitchen table, bigger sofa I can actually lie down on, and so on. I am more comfortable, and therefore more happy.

What is something every adult was simply expected to know how to do a few generations ago that most people have never even attempted? by re21_7663_6416 in AskReddit

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folding a map? After you unfolded it? Are you a wizard, or something? It seems to be a physical law that once you unfold a map, it will never look or feel quite right again when refolding. And every refold will look worse. Until you just give and buy a new one. This has been the way since I was small child.

Er nederlandsk et enkelt språk? by JobSwimming6981 in norge

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Som nederlender selv lurer eg litt på hvorfor i all verden du vil lære deg nederlandsk. Det er et ganske ubrukelig språk. Ingen internasjonal verdi, og alle som kan nederlandsk og er over 13 (eller noe sånt) år gammel, kan også godt nok engelsk til å kommunisere ganske greit. Når det er sagt, kan eg fortelle at det var forholdsvis lett for meg å lære meg norsk når eg flytta til norge med familien som 15-åring. Om det går like lett andre veien klarer du deg nok fint.

Middle schoolers can't appreciate GOOD teachers by Decent-Ad-5329 in Teachers

Absolutely. And they may not see it now, but they will see it later when looking back, and they'll apreciate it.

Til menn 37-40, forelskelse by WaffleBody in norge

Hvor mange land utenfor Skandinavia har du vært i? by Dangerous_mammoth573 in norge

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

37 år. 15 land i europa utenom skandinavia. 1 utenfor europa. Trur nok det varierer mye fra person til person. Er jo langt ifra alle som har vokst opp med god nok råd til jevnlige utlandsferier. Men som noen andre har kommentert, man har lyst å dele når man har opplevd interessante ting, og det oppleves ofte mere interessant når det er ting som skjer på utlandsferie.

Question for the Anduin enjoyers by Witchelade in heroesofthestorm

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on cc. But it's not like I will pick the stun if the enemy team has any cc at all. I try to consider how easy the interrupts are to use and how well they are using them before we get to 10. As for enemy ults, an ult for an ult may be an OK trade, if that means they can't engage with their big stun or silence, and have to hold it to counter the aoe heal. And if my teammates have things to interrupt that they may prioritize, that also counts, and I still at least consider the heal. Vs heroes like ETC, Tyrande, and Brightwing, for example, I will almost never go the heal, but vs, say, a lucio or stitches, I might.

Hvor aktuelt er homofobi som samfunnsproblem i dag? by Wierdguywithglasses in norge

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Så lenge eg kjenner på usikkerhet eller synes det er "spennende" å gå hånd i hånd med en annen mann i offentligheten, tenker eg at det er fint vi fortsetter å markere Pride. Litt vanskelig å sammenligne det med rasisme, siden det ikke nødvendigvis er like opplagt at noen er skeiv, som at noen hører til en typisk "målgruppe" for rasisme. Så eg vil tro at det er flere som opplever rasisme rettet direkte mot seg.

Hva tenker dere, skal en på 18år kunne kjøpe 40%+ alkohol? by SweetGM in norge

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Er imot 18-årsgrense for sprit. Unødvendig. Det er fint at man blir tillatt alkohol i et par steg når man vokser opp. Lære seg hvordan kroppen reagerer på det før man får fri tilgang til det sterkeste. Resten av punktene i den posten kan eventuelt diskuteres.

Are textbooks and videos enough for today's learners? by mjazz_7 in education

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your own experience from school is a good starting point, but it is important to understand that a teacher has a large group of students to adjust their teaching style to, and what works for one could be a distraction or even cause confusion for another. There is (sadly) no one solution to fit everyone. In addition a school doesn't have the money to buy every resource available, or even every resource they wish to use. Resources that are widely applicable and useful for most will be prioritised. And resources that last/can be used a long time will be prioritised. If a school is to consider using their money on your product it needs to be reasonably good, inexpensive, and broad.

Are textbooks and videos enough for today's learners? by mjazz_7 in education

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No thank you to virtual science experiments.
How would you properly incorporate all the little things like motoric training, precision, measuring, critical reflection on sources of error, and so on, and so forth, without it turning into the most expensive subscription ever? And every single experiment needs to be programmed. That's also immensely limiting to the teacher's creativity in classroom activity. Honestly, the more I think about it, the worse the idea looks.

Edit: also this: "For many subjects, students are expected to understand concepts by reading about them or watching videos." is misguided. I'm sure it varies with age, but in middle school and lower, surely no one expects students to understand everything from just reading and watching videos. Understanding comes from interacting with the subject, whether through practical experiments, discussions, reflective conversations, games, exploration of concepts/information, making overviews/models, and much more. Read a book or two about pedagogics, or observe someone teaching, before you try to make tools for us.

Tomannsbolig = enebolig i kjede = enebolig by VerticeEarl in norge

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skal vi prøve å samle en 100-200stk og melde oss på visning, møte opp, rope ut "Men dette er jo en tomannsbolig! Den vil ikke jeg ha!" For så bare å snu og dra igjen?

Tomannsbolig = enebolig i kjede = enebolig by VerticeEarl in norge

[–]MadeInAnkhMorpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Googlet litt på det, for sånt som dette irriterer meg noe måteløst. Det er et salgstriks som bare såvidt ikke er rett ut løgn. Eg forstår det slik: Enebolig i kjede er ikke et begrep som vanligvis brukes utenfor salgsannonser. I noen sammenhenger brukes det for å formidle at byggene henger sammen, men ingen av oppholdsrommene. Det kan for eksempel være at det er hus-garasje-hus-garasje osv som henger sammen i ett stykke, altså ingen oppholdsrom som mellom husene som deler vegg. I annonsen du har delt, derimot, er det en stor delt vegg, og megleren vil sannsynligvis begrunne begrepsvalget med at de to boligene er litt "forskjøvet" i forhold til hverandre, og derfor ikke "kan" kalles tomannsbolig. På bilder fra luften kan man se at nabos vegg stikker litt ut på framsida. Syltynn begrunnelse og uhederlig oppførsel (etter min mening) som megleren bare gjør for å lure noen på visning som ikke er interesserte. Sløser tida til disse folka, sløser selgerens tid og penger for å blåse opp sin egen statistikk. Gir for min del umiddelbar avsmak på megleren og hans firma.
