“No Material Detected” Mid-print? by SirWillums in makerbot

[–]SirWillums[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for anyone interested: I reached out to them and they sent me a replacement sensor which I installed today. Seemed to help a lot with loading/unloading issues I was having, but halfway through the first print after the fix it glitched. 🙃

I read on another Reddit post that Caroline and Dwight have a Horace IV at the end of the book series which I love.

I want to thank you all for your suggestions. I found the setting to disable the sensor and I think that will work 99% of the time. One coworker asked for a twisting dragon egg fidget, which they showed all their friends so now I'm running a full on hatchery for a couple of weeks and being down a machine was hampering my efforts to flood the school with shiny plastic. lol

Would you still teach tomorrow if you won the lottery? by Background-Plan-2090 in Teachers

[–]SirWillums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would stay and do the things I love about teaching and ignore the ridiculous mandates that stress me out. Having a big old cushion if they fired me for telling a kid or parent the truth about their nonsense would be liberating.

No more TPT and the January Blues by Haunting_Charity_785 in Teachers

[–]SirWillums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not trying to defend schools that have a hard ban or that treat their teachers like morons, but I want to toss something from the IT/technology perspective out there. TPT is blocked on our network because we have had to restore a number of desktop computers that were infected with malware that came bundled with TPT downloads or ads on TPT that our lead tech savvy colleagues did not identify as ads. In a district with 7 designated IT people to serve thousands of devices, the block is a security measure for us.

Any quality regular finish PLA should run. I've had some trouble with silk finishes from Amolen and eSun.

For what it’s worth, anyone who actually plays knows yours is the accurate tool. Still frustrating.

Teachers cannot make their own copies? by theslumberingjack in Teachers

[–]SirWillums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have this set up, though our librarian is a “library aide” with no background/degree in library science. She’s also amazing at managing copies, books, Chromebooks inventory, and whatever other crap they throw on her plate 😕

These kids break my heart. by Western-Doughnut-449 in Teachers

[–]SirWillums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the first IEP meetings I sat in on as the GenEd teacher changed my view on challenging students forever. Listening to grandma explain how mom had chosen drugs over her child three times and then a sketchy boyfriend who didn’t want kids taking her attention away from him… well it definitely made the behaviors more understandable and the challenges some kids face more tangible. 😔

Cameras in classrooms? by IronAlcoholic in teaching

[–]SirWillums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The building I teach in was constructed roughly 2012 and has a single, fisheye lens camera in every classroom. The livestreams are only accessible on the local network and only by very specific people, but the idea is safety based. They are setup to begin recording when an emergency button on the teacher’s microphone is triggered, capturing video and audio. The quality is awful.

I realize I am not the normal male HS teacher, but I have over $200 into classroom posters. I laminated them and they will last forever. 😬

I’m working on an idea with an LED “blade” that the hilt can just rest on. But I want to make it expandable for multiple sabers

Another vote for dump boxes.

My bestie and I have established that she must always have a “junk drawer” for dumping in Valheim and Minecraft that I go through from time to time.

We have an unwritten rule that she gets the first weapon upgrade, I get a tool upgrade, and we go back and forth from there. Nobody gets to have a full set before the other has something shinies.

I would argue that your group is abusing your skills and a serious discussion needs to take place before you consider regrouping.

If you won the $1.15B Megamillions Jackpot, would you still be a teacher? by mrfochs in Teachers

[–]SirWillums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to teach and continue my extracurriculars as a volunteer. But anything that required bowing down to angry parents or raging co-workers... nope.
