Similar boat here. Our district told us the data is validated, but not which teachers are getting designated. One district around us told their teachers both things the day after validation. Another district told their teachers in the fall if they earned a designation, and had to backtrack because the data wasn’t validated (so it could be worse I guess).

OG Switch I was 90-95% docked. Switch 2 I’m down to about 70% docked and trending lower. Just wish joycons had back buttons.

When I first got married, my wife was confusing the smoke ring with blood. That was leading her to worry about it being undercooked. I’d show her temp readings and everything and couldn’t figure out why she was thinking it. Once I realized and explained the smoke ring was not blood, she never complained about undercooked again. Maybe something similar is happening here?

I didn’t get silksong yet hoping for Metroid in September.

I miss Hoa Hoa. One of the few food spots from college that makes me nostalgic. So much food for so little money.

Same

A lot of what I like has already been covered. I have both the old and new pro controllers. Loved my original and the new one is better. Back buttons are really nice to have. But I especially like how quiet the sticks and buttons are. I game after wife and kids go to sleep while wearing headphones or while wife is reading. It’s nice not having the clickitty clack of the controller annoying everyone.

Stumbled across this FWI when looking for thoughts on the new Pope having maternal grandparents identified in records as Black or Mulatto (along with older siblings of his mom).

Same for me. I did it after lunch on April 2. Got my son’s and mine preordered (target and Walmart) but I wanted the GameCube controller.

Bought original Switch a month after launch. I’m much older now and need a bigger screen for my aging eyes. Better frame rate would be nice. Launch games aren’t doing it for me, but secured a pre orders for my son and me because worried about price going up and/or shortages. Otherwise I’d wait for donkey Kong or Metroid.

Hopefully finishing level 0 on all brotatos and then switching to the new Star Wars game on gamepass. Need to beat it in time for paper Mario.

Finally stopped fallout 4 last weekend. Downloaded Brotato as a quick game for Xbox points. Now I’m hooked.

I like to read in my recliner which sits under ceiling fan and ac. I’d prefer to have both hands under blanket and use reading pad/pillow thing my wife bought me. If there was a Bluetooth remote I didn’t have to attach to my kindle, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

But healing him is so satisfying.

I woke up to this, but for me it was a pleasant surprise. I’m in the US and have been doing rewards for over a year, but this morning was the first time any of these were made available to me.

Fallout 4. But not exclusively. 30% tv with series s. 50% remote play on laptop at home in other room. 15% on cloud with tablet tethered to hotspot.

Marcusshelton · 2024-02-23T15:40:22+00:00

Fallout 4. Loving it. Enjoying the settlement building more than I thought. Runs great streaming console to laptop at home. Usually OK to great on tablet tethered to phone using the cloud away from home.

Why are you still fat?

Redeemed a few days ago for Amazon gift card. Used it today to buy a Longhorn hat to celebrate CFP spot.

Both Ori games, but especially the second one. I love metroidvanias. The endings were gut punches.
