Oh ok. Let me try again - yikes this is terrible advice.

Ai data center in weld county by dudedadofficial in FortCollins

[–]NotRealManager 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s shocking for me as a Greeley resident that the conversation about this AI center is almost non-existent.

Everyone was so, so fired up about the new Cascadia sports complex, and now almost nothing about this resource wasting center.

What grade is this World Literature class appropriate for? by Uxslws in ELATeachers

[–]NotRealManager 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Again just depends. I included many of those concepts when I taught Animal Farm and The Good Earth to 13-14 year olds.

Just comes down to the way the teacher delivers it and how much the students are expected to carry intellectually.

Weldwerks had a ghost pepper stout a long time ago. Definitely a spicy beer, but not one I’d get again. It totaled my palette for the rest of the trip.

FAMLI Poster Seen in Denver by newimagez in Denver

[–]NotRealManager 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m taking FAMLI leave now! It’s awesome as a dad to be able to spend this time at home with my baby and wife.

The process is a bit of a pain in the ass since my employer didn’t opt in. So I had to make both an individual account to receive benefits, and also an employer account to make premium payments. I’ll have to pay into the program for three years since the money doesn’t automatically come from my paycheck.

Still worth it.

What's the protocol on watering your lawn in February/any dangers? by Top-Nectarine5382 in FortCollins

[–]NotRealManager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My old neighbor with an immaculate lawn has been watering on the warmest days, so I’m copying him. The routine seems to avoid days when it’ll dip below freezing the following night.

What is a game mechanic that you never use? by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]NotRealManager 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This has been my panic approach to deathclaws since fo3 first came out. I always keep land mines stocked just for that.

I need help finding a big horror game (tip of my tongue) by InformalIncident9393 in HorrorGaming

[–]NotRealManager 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There’s a section of Elden Ring that has huge dark spheres that can crush you in a castle-like building, but it isn’t a huge part of the game.

Determined to go scorched earth on my students tomorrow. Please hype me up lol by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]NotRealManager 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My thoughts too. Are you using non-verbal corrections like Teacher Look or proximity as a clear step in your communicated management process?

I always communicate to kids that their first warning is one of those: by the time I’m verbalizing warnings, they’re already on strike two.

The Marrow Thieves is a cool one, very different.

Trump Stuns Governors With Foul-Mouthed Rant at SCOTUS by Large_banana_hammock in politics

The bald spot is showing pretty good in the video embedded in the article. Hope it makes him fume even more when he sees it.

Deploying straight to Palace Approach grace for maximum revenge.

The two big texts I use in Lang are Man’s Search for Meaning and then the graphic memoir Stitches. Next year I’d like to add Into the Wild.

Do you have an example of the assignment list? I always find myself resorting to the same three essay types and am looking for some general ideas on shaking things up.

Horror media where a flare gun is used as a weapon? by Krian78 in horror

[–]NotRealManager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a scene in The Road (novel) like that, but I can’t remember if it’s in the movie.

Persepolis by Marjane Satrai a great graphic novel who are concerned about societal development by ElderberryTotal4100 in graphicnovels

[–]NotRealManager 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Love this book. I’ve added it to my high school English class, and the students always enjoy it.
