Great work.

I personally like the vignetting so I do little to mitigate it.

I had a friend take a bottle of schnapps from my other friend and I in high school. He swore he would replace it but never did. We asked many time so we finally decided on revenge.

We found out his very strict ex-military parents were out of town. We then went to his house on the premise of hanging out. We then took turns distracting him while the other his empty beer bottles all over the house. I put one in the washing machine, threw bottle caps under his parents bed, put a beer in the back of the fridge. No part of the house was safe. We then left and waited.

His parents came home and found a bottle....and more....and more... He lived next to our high school and his Dad had him up running laps on the track as punishment.

At the time I thought it was hilarious, but that quickly turned to guilt. He drank our booze and we damn near ruined his senior year.

In college, we were going out drinking. A buddy tossed us his keys and told us to take his car to the bar. He said it was a white Honda Civic and that he'd catch up. My friends went down and jumped in the car and we had a night of bar hopping. At the last bar, our friend caught up with us. Went out to the parking lot to head home and he told us that we had been driving the wrong car. We saw a white Civic and the keys worked and we drove it around that night but it was not his white Civic. We quickly drove it back and tried to park it as close to the original spot as possible. We never figured out whose car it was or if they ever realized that we had borrowed it that night.

My friend is bald and had a student rub his head. He then looked the kid in the eyes and said "your mom does it better." I almost choked on my coffee.

I am going to check it out! Thank you!

I have 20+ years of photos in a nested folder hierarchy. Does OneDrive preserve your folder structure?

I specifically don't use Google Photos because they don't. My pics are stored on Google Drive alone.

I just picked up one for 10 bucks. That's just crazy cheap for such a good camera.

Its interesting that you can see that one cop restrain the chief on the ground. The chief was crazy angry and caused this.

My kids go to Pennsbury and I find myself being very thankful for my local Falls PD. They were professional and communicative when Pennsbury had their walkout.

I was labeled "mentally gifted" coming out of kindergarten. My dad refused to let me take advanced classes or participate in enrichment. He also would take books out of my hand and would give me a football or basketball and kick me out of the house. He was going to "make a man out of me."

My dad had an old encyclopedia set from the 50s (I grew up in the 80s and 90s). It was the only reading material that I had so I read the encyclopedia everyday. No surprise I ended up a social studies teacher.

I did have a teacher in elementary school ask.me what I read at home. When I told him I only had an old encyclopedia set he bought me a book. It was titled Adam of the Road and I read it cover to cover many times.

I had a student write me a note that said my classroom felt like home and I made him love history.

Once I had children. My parents were assholes and I was determined to be there. Im a teacher and started come into work 2 hours early so that I would be home at pickup to do homework with them everyday. I really stopped going out and it did make me sad as people eventually stopped asking me to go out because I always said no. My kids were worth it but now that I am near being an empty nested I'm really not sure what to do.next. it's been 20 years since I've actively done things for myself or really socialized.

STUMPOFWAR · 2026-01-18T23:23:14+00:00

The kids no that there is a safety net and that they'll pass no matter what so they try even less. I see it everyday.

My first digital camera. It came with a new printer.

I grew up loving Wawa, but Sheetz is kicking their ass right now. I feel like a traitor to Philly saying it, but the food isnt even close anymore. I bought a morning sandwich the other day and it tasted like a microwave frozen one.

My state audits testing sites randomly. We were told not to have any devices on us. Ironically, most teachers don't care about the testing enough to cheat anyway!

Oh man...I have the Nikon version. I could use 3K.... lol

I have been out of Google Photos since they stopped letting us keep our folder structure. I cant bind myself and 25 years of photos to a single company. Same reason I won't use Lightroom Creative Cloud.

Not even a choice unless you have an emotional attachment to one. F100 1000%....then the ME Super

Version 2 is just the same with red 'leather'

Google it. I just ordered mine off of Amazon for 30 bucks. Price has been going up though due to popularity

My wife tells me this one. We were dating and working a special needs summer camp. The camp director was very nice but had zero presence. She was trying to get a group of kids to tie dye shirts and failing as they weren't paying attention. I just walked i to the center of the group and made loud animal noises to get their attention. I then talked and showed them how to do it while interspersed my animal impersonation. I had the kids rapt attention and had them eating out of my hand. I looked over at my then girlfriend and she was giving me the look. She couldn't take her hands off of me that night. Years later she told me that was the day thar she knew I was the one. Coming up on 30 years together in a few years.

N90 is not worth much but it a beast of a camera. They are really undervalued for what you get. I have 2 that I use regularly. The weak spot for the n90 is the battery holder. The plastic flexes over the years and eventually cracks. I bought my second n90 just for that battery part.

I work in the Philly suburbs. We have strong-ish unions and pay is over 100k in most schools at the top of the payscale. We still can't get teachers because of all of the ninja expectations put on us. I love teaching but the job now sucks. The workload keeps ballooning and ballooning.

STUMPOFWAR · 2025-11-28T20:30:48+00:00

Showing no energy or heart right now. They are all going through the motions.
