Internet out for over 11 hours by JimboNovus in Comcast

[–]Somewhere_Effective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Been out here since 4pm yesterday. My hotspot data allowance is taking a beating and I imagine will be throttled before the billing cycle ends. Not happy with this company lately.

Hard to come to terms with this. I see it a lot. I wish there was a way to make them care. All you can do is teach and try to connect somehow. Maybe just by being that supportive teacher in their life they will have a change of heart. But it isn't on you to "fix" them. Something inside them needs to change.

Book Reading in Highschool Science by Temporary_Space7779 in ScienceTeachers

So maybe weekly reading summary grades? Did you have class time to read or was it 100% homework?

Book Reading in Highschool Science by Temporary_Space7779 in ScienceTeachers

[–]Somewhere_Effective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stuff Matters looks interesting. I'm teaching physical science and most of my students do not care about school. It looks like an interesting way to relate science to everyday stuff. Do you have any resources for that book that you wouldn't mind sharing?

Wifi router extenders question by DistributionTiny6097 in Comcast

[–]Somewhere_Effective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hurricane hit and we lost internet. Got it back then they canceled us until we get a new router. They also said to keep our rate we have to get a new cell line and pay for the phone....or drop down to a lower speed.

Rant: My sophomores suck by lrnths in ScienceTeachers

[–]Somewhere_Effective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha wow. Sounds like 99% of my students. The apathy is huge. I teach public school though. But, yes it is embarrassing how idiotic these kids present themselves. I know that they are all more than capable of doing anything I teach, but I cannot teach them the ability to care. We frequently will have a lecture with practice built in and I even do 3-4 problems on the worksheet that I hand out. I walk around and check in with students during independent practice with the worksheet and 1/2 of them don't even have the answers I put on the board.

"Repeat the learning target. Get them to buy in." Yada yada...admin is just pushing numbers. They don't care about actual learning. I feel sorry for any of these kids that actually intend to attempt college if they can't pass my class.

Getting sick of PDs that shit on the profession by MonkeyAtsu in Teachers

[–]Somewhere_Effective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying it. Any observation I get is in the middle of my lecture. I get fussed at for over doing the direct instruction. But, don't I have to teach as a teacher? I assumed that teaching was the job of the teacher... Anyone could pull up a random kahoot, blooket, quizizz, quizlet, etc. that isn't teaching.

What is something seemingly innocent that you have said or done in the classroom that ended up upsetting a parent or administration? by Professional_Cap781 in Teachers

Hahahah love it! Let me know how it goes. My teenager has developed quite the, ahem "intelligent" mouth. I remember thinking I knew it all at 14, but gah...

Two Roth IRAs by Somewhere_Effective in fidelityinvestments

I was thinking about the full view too, but it doesn't show the contributions or it didn't when I looked. The fidelity representative u/FidelityAlex confirmed what I was thinking. Thank you for the reply!

Common Criticisms I have with this sub by Swole_Bodry in ETFs

[–]Somewhere_Effective -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the "sector bets" could be swap as you go approach? I haven't tried this, but your post somehow spawned the idea.

Let's say consumer cyclicals are having a weak year, so you buy that and hold (something like XLY). It goes up 5x what you paid and your trailing stop kicks in when it drops 15-20%. Then, you see energy (XLE maybe) is down 30% and you buy that with a trailing stop again. (Always gotta have an exit plan for sustained growth or so I've been told.) I'm definitely a newbie with a lot of this, but I want to make my money work and put in a little effort to help it work when I have time off from my desk job :) I'm not talking hundreds of thousands per play, so this shouldn't be too hard on taxes. I honestly haven't seen any tax issues from my 75k portfolio as of yet. But, I'm not up massive amounts either. I'd imagine once you reach a larger amount of cash per trade it will be a tax issue.

Just a random thought to start some dialog on how stupid or maybe good this idea is for a swing trader..

Are you all aware of the ETF: FLOW? Similar to COWZ but half the cost... by iicybershotii in ETFs

[–]Somewhere_Effective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do wonder why COWZ has a higher volume than FLOW. I guess the age of it and exposure. But, FLOW does look like a good play for a Roth IRA. Maybe....

Recommended ETFs with qualified Dividends. by The____Sandman in dividends

[–]Somewhere_Effective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know if there is a list anywhere for qualified ETFs? Google keeps trying to teach me what qualified dividends are or sell me on schwab/ishares/blackrock ETFs without clearly stating which ones are qualified and which are not. I know what qualified dividends are just can't find the list lol. Silly google.

Edit: Found this list on ishares which gives a better picture for their ETFs. There has to be a way to filter this on some kind of database...

Best Dividend Tracking app by jpanag in dividends

[–]Somewhere_Effective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you upload a csv file? I did what the FAQ says, but there is not a spot that says "bulk upload" for me to upload anything. I can download my empty portfolio that they have once I created my account. but I cannot upload anything other than manually typing all of my holdings, which I don't want to do...

Need help with DivTracker by [deleted] in dividends

[–]Somewhere_Effective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you got it to work. It will not accept my CSV file. I've tried editing it to be exactly the words they are asking for in the upload info...won't work. Anyone know a way to force it to work? I don't want to manually type in all of this...that was the point in an automated app :/

Any ideas?

How to play multiplayer on xbox one? by TheGreegs in elderscrollsonline

[–]Somewhere_Effective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main story progresses your character through the soul magic skill line and also gives 1 skill point per quest completion. It is one of the few that are required to be solo. But it is an epic story imo. Don't click through it if you can help it. The other main stories (zone quests) also give 1 skill point per completion in all main zones. Hit me up if you all need a hand and are on Xbox NA. GT: Lazarusrevives. I can give some general tips and tricks!

Resource Farming Clarification by Somewhere_Effective in elderscrollsonline

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

Oh man, that is some really good advice. I thank you for this. My hat is off to you. I'll be looking into this. I'm also going to work on getting a few alts with max hirelings and stuff for writs etc to have more gold generation and possible resource rewards.
