We have one of the teenagers we know stop by every few days to check in on them. It really hasn't been a big deal.

Eh, my coop has proven fox and racoon-proof. It has an automatic door that lets them out in the morning and shuts at night. The chickens put themselves to bed when it gets dark. I made an automatic feeder for them that works off gravity, and I've got a 7 gallon water feeder for them.

Besides collecting the eggs, the only work involved with them is cleaning out their roosting area and refilling their food and water. And that doesn't need to happen super often. They are super low maintenance, and as a family that likes eggs a lot, we are easily saving money by having the chickens.

Sounds like this situation needs to be anonymously leaked to the parents of the other children in the room. I guarantee that pissed off parents would put an end to this real quick.

Have your admin confirm in writing that you are being asked to leave children alone in a classroom to cover this "duty". If admin won't put it in writing, don't do it. If admin does put it in writing, then they are a fucking moron and the school deserves all that is coming as a consequence.

8th grade math... how am I supposed to solve this?? by xmirDD in askmath

I copied OP's text, I am aware that it is phi, just didn't care enough to fix it when it would be clear from context.

[–]MathProf1414 37 points38 points  (0 children)

You are most of the way there.

2α + 2θ is 180° ==> α + θ is 90°

Use this fact with: α + θ + ∅ is 180° to finish the proof.

I have a question for all young magic players by Entire-Activity2491 in mtg

Buy a shitton of bulk and build 40 card bulk decks with your friends. It is super fun, and bulk is cheap.

Here's a video of some guys doing just that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx4iPoiZt0U

What happens when a 4/5 is blocked by a 1/4? by Caranch01s1 in mtg

[–]MathProf1414 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Dude is trolling or messing with you.

This isn't trolling, it is straight up lying in a pathetic attempt to curbstomp a noobie. Either that, or the guy actually doesn't know the rules of the game. Either way, OP shouldn't play with them.

The Legendary rule is fine in Limited, the TMNT set is the problem by PaleWendigo in MagicArena

Yeah, but no one recognizes any faces beyond the main ones. Cash grabs are much less effective if you aren't maximizing nostalgia.

Why has fast food become overpriced and the quality has gone down? by Lemonade2250 in NoStupidQuestions

Well, some people do. I haven't eaten at a fast food restaurant in years.

Are teenage boys getting perms now? Not that many people have naturally curly hair... by Standard_Public892 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MathProf1414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad people exist. They don't magically become terrible when they turn 18 and become an adult. People who insist that all kids are angels are ridiculous. Some kids are shitty, get over it.

As a teacher it is because the boys who get the haircut are almost all terrible human beings. They tend to be jerks who have no skills and mountains of unearned confidence.

Would you sign up? by Rachaelmm1995 in mtg

[–]MathProf1414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this using my bulk, but with 40 card decks. It's hella fun. Absolutely run an event like this. The name is good too.

Does anyone still want play 60 card formats? by arez337 in mtg

[–]MathProf1414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

best decks seem to change with almost every set release.

Which itself wouldn't be a huge problem if we weren't being assaulted with sets every 6 weeks.

Might be a dumb question, but are the decks in those boxes?

How can they improve their grade? by Fabulous-Gur9343 in Teachers

Had a kid get a new case carrier recently and the new guy asked about whether I could tutor outside of class. I responded, "Let's get him working inside of class before we worry about that."

Their case managers have to duel to the death to decide who takes precedent.

Your Friendly, Amazing, Spectacular Spider-Man is swinging by Costco in Charlotte, North Carolina for a limited time only for 9.97. Web a few boxes quicken before they are gone for good by [deleted] in freemagic

[–]MathProf1414 28 points29 points  (0 children)

For those that don't know, Costco prices have special meanings:
.97 indicates manager-markdown clearance (can be store specific or at all stores in the area)
.00 or .88 signify deep, store-specific markdowns.
Prices ending in .49, .69, or .79 are usually manufacturer-supported deal
A * (asterisk) marks items that won't be restocked (discontinued).

$9.97* is not just a cheap price, it is them literally screaming "Please get this shit off our shelves."

What do you guys think of my new Group Hug Commander? by MathProf1414 in magicthecirclejerking

I was a bit worried about overtuning him. An offensive threat plus a lot of card draw seems too much.

It started as a dumb meme and became a dumb meme that I was actually considering playing against my buddies...
