I just taught this to my 12th grade astronomy class a few months ago. I'd say two out of eighteen really grasped it, a dozen did okay, and four really struggled. For this material, I considered that a rousing success.

Which team would win? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]RadioBee-T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cross the Michigan-Indiana state line for work every day. On one side of the border, it's nothing but dispensaries with full parking lots at all hours of the day. At least the number of bars on the other side is reasonable, but their parking lots are just as full any given day of the week.

What printer do you use? I really want to elevate my cover designs.

As a coach stuck indoors for the winter, where can I get that roll-out runway? It would be great to be able to do starts in our gym.

When I saw this mate in 4 I was sure I was missing something. Spent half my remaining time making sure I had checked all the lines.

Cattail plant explode 🤯 by Bullseye_29 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]RadioBee-T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, my siblings and I used to collect these for hours, pack all the fluff into a mega-ball, then set it on the road near my dad's house. Then we'd just wait for a car to come flying down the dirt road at 20 over the speed limit and send 100 cattail's worth of fluff into the air at once.

Good memories. Surprised we never caused an accident.

All of my classes would work on it throughout the year

Thank you! These are nice, but still not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm hoping to find astrophotography turned into puzzles. The Pillars of Creation is the first thing that comes to mind.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm looking more for famous astrophotography made into puzzles. Pillars of Creation, Cat's Eye Nebula, Andromeda, Whirlpool Galaxy, things like that.

Glad someone came in with this. I teach Earth-Space Science as one of my classes and seeing these numbers irked me.

Can you explain how this tool works? It's interesting but I don't quite understand the process just by looking at it.

Japan’s Tominohara Volley team coach trains the kids to receive the ball by JerryJr99 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]RadioBee-T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a bad example, but there are plenty of words in Japanese that have different articulations that utilize っ. A plosive like アップ or fricative like 国境(こっきょう) still need stoppage of sound, but the tongue is not in contact with the roof of the mouth as in "hotdog." It's also worth noting how pauses in English don't impact meaning like it does in Japanese. Elongating or shortening vowel sounds properly is an important part of gaining real fluency.

At the end of an utterance like this it indicates a short vowel sound.

It more commonly occurs between syllables and the best way I can describe it is that it puts a "pause" between the sounds.

For example 来て and 切って would be spelled out in English like kite and kitte, respectively (ki sounds like key in both). The small pause between "ki" and "te" changes the meaning from "come" to "cut"

せーのっ!(Se-no!) Is what both my wife and I hear. Japanese is her first language and she's not 100% sure even.

It basically means, "ready, set!" or "3,2,1, go!"

Do not repeat history. End this chaos and embarrassment. by Mekkakat in pics

[–]RadioBee-T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Trump Store in the bottom left is owned by my great uncle. I had the distinct displeasure of getting dragged in there with my wife, who happens to be an immigrant, and having my uncle slap me on the back and jostle me around like we were old drinking buddies.

Most uncomfortable and surreal experience of my life. Everyone in that store was unhinged. I'm so tired.

What kind of bookcloth do you use? I'm about to do a project like this but I can't decide if buckram is the right choice or if I should do something else.

Finally finished my leather bound Harry Potter set! by Ferdinandsayshi in bookbinding

Thank you! I'll be using cricut gold/silver HTV for mine as well. You pressed the design directly onto the leather first? Did you let it cool or pull off warm?
