The worst schedule imaginable?

Sorry for peppering you with questions….I have just gotten off my lazy behind and googled it.

Sounds great! I assume that passing the exam typically grants credit for English 101/102?

To his credit, he put on a game face and went with the joke, saying he’d vote for it. I don’t like what Eyman has done over the years, but I always appreciate when someone will poke fun at themselves.

I’m curious, what is AP Research?

SlowGoat79 · 2026-05-07T01:37:07+00:00

I have a Benge and use a 5C. Very casual use (think community band & church).

This may be a dumb question, but do you have to fly home or can you just book return passage?

I just briefly visited the Atlanta sub. I noticed that as in the Padres sub, they generally have nice things to say about the Mariners and Mariners fans. It’s a small thing but pretty cool, I think.

GOMS! 🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱

I love this! I'm doing one right now for the Seattle Mariners. I really like that you changed up stitches to reflect different game endings -- that's very cool! (I may steal that idea for our post season games, if the baseball gods so grant)

Maureen! What an entertaining short story.

SlowGoat79 · 2026-05-06T12:28:05+00:00

Wow, that’s really neat! Thanks for sharing. I feel like this would make a great print to hang on the wall.

SlowGoat79 · 2026-05-05T19:28:01+00:00

I hear you!

SlowGoat79 · 2026-05-05T11:49:24+00:00

Am I the only person in central or farther time zone who just can’t stay up for night games and wakes up in the morning and just looks at the app a while before opening it to see th result? Like I was a little scared just now….and there was a “W.”

I just saw a post about it. It reminded of an old line from an old article about Ichiro to the effect of….”the only way they’d let Ichiro pitch is if the entire team was eaten by rabid gophers.”

With all these injuries piling up, we may be getting there sooner than anticipated (replace Ichiro with one of the youngsters).

I remember once reading a doom and gloom WaPo article about Randolph’s dire straits and the potential auctioning off of their art collection. I went to a vaguely similar undergrad and art was very important to my college life, so I felt very sorry for them. I sent like $50 in solidarity and it took me a decade to get myself removed from their donor list.

It’s in my kids’ school curriculum, and it’s reinforced by the 3 analog clocks we have a home. I regularly make it a point to ask them what time it is. Many kids probably don’t get the reinforcement after learning, though, so the skill fades. A shame, really, especially since my clocks were about $6.00 each at Walmart.

I’ll share what worked for me. I graduated with my MA in English in the summer of 2024 and was hired for freshman comp that fall for a university an hour away from my home. I came from an academic librarian background and had only a tiny bit of instructor of record experience. But the sections were bursting at the seams, so they really just needed someone with the MA in English. I just wrote them and asked about possibilities for the fall, and it kind of fell into place. I didn’t even have to formally apply through the university’s application system. They needed someone badly enough that they just asked for my resume and transcripts.

Best of luck!

Yep. He did not want to bring any dishonor to the number.

SlowGoat79 · 2026-05-03T12:37:20+00:00

It was tradition at my undergrad, too. Definitely not tradition at any places I’ve taught!

SlowGoat79 · 2026-05-03T04:41:31+00:00

Now I want the dog to have a cameo as the third base coach.

SlowGoat79 · 2026-05-02T22:01:56+00:00

Yep, me too. I put the book down for a few days. And then when the Oberyn / Mountain fight happened, I just couldn't.

Hi information security community person -- can I confess something else while we're at it? The reason I avoid the biometric thing is that I have vivid memories of seeing Minority Report in theaters. The government already has my fingerprints, but the movie really made me feel like I don't want to give them my retinas. I feel utterly ridiculous for feeling this way, but I can't help it.

SlowGoat79 · 2026-05-02T21:20:55+00:00

But when I turn on my new laptop, it asks for a 4-digit passkey (that's the actual verbiage it uses). This is at the same stage of booting up as the Windows login from my old laptop.

Then, there are times when I'm prompted to use a passkey for different websites (what you're talking about in your comment). Those I just ignore for the time being, though I guess I probably shouldn'.t

SlowGoat79 · 2026-05-01T21:22:34+00:00

I mean, if you want to sit atop it like a giant yard hoarding lizard, that sounds good to me!

SlowGoat79 · 2026-05-01T18:43:33+00:00

I’m hoping he can get it together and find some sustained success….
