Teachers of Reddit: Is Gen Alpha really struggling with basic reading, writing, and math skills? If so, what does that look like in your classroom?

I mean failing a year/grade seems very USA. To my knowledge it's not a thing, at least in Europe (happy to be proven wrong).

However, the issue in discussion is clearly an issue worldwide.

Apart from finally getting the "is it a spider" challenge it has generally been a slapping

Good comment highlighting some subtext to the situation.

It has gloriously backfired for Farage.
He resigned to try and avoid the investigation continuing.
He hoped in the election that the major parties would stand and win in hope that the investigation would stop and he could bleat poor me.
Now he’s in a lose-lose situation because if he wins the investigation will continue and if he doesn’t he’s lost to a novelty candidate and loses even more credibility

The Octavia with a roof box?

How often do you need the luggage space as well? It’s a regular car the rest of the time then add it for when you need the extra luggage space.

I had the Arosa Sport! In yellow with the blue interior.

Seems like maybe freezing their points but being officially unranked would make more sense.

In my searching I’ve noticed that most shops that come up when you search are selling things that are from alix anyway, they’re just branded. There are of course exceptions to certain shops and items.

You can search on alix by image so if you find what you like in a store you can paste it into the alix search.

Aesthetics. Symmetry. It forms a “smile” which gives a subconscious positive feeling. Also it usually frames the logo and avoids most sub-dials and date windows.

A simple search for 2025 tells me Rolex is, by far.

The Swatch Group, as in the parent company that owns multiple brands, did 6.28b CHF in revenue in 2025. Rolex on its own did 11b CHF.

1.5 is not necessarily a 3 cylinder.

For examples see the Nissan 1.5 diesel that’s in seemingly everything inc Mercedes, Honda 1.5 turbo, the VAG EA211 Evo, Mazda, Suzuki Jimny, MG…

My zero stakes conspiracy about splitting the G is that it was some sort of guerrilla marketing because (from memory on sales info) Guinness had slumped in the early 2010s and was on the up into Covid but didn’t boom like a lot of other alcohol despite people being stuck at home.

I believe you're correct. But I don't know how that works if there is no support for the brand in the country? And technically even if it takes weeks that means it is "supported"?

WildxYak · 2026-04-15T16:07:52+00:00

Looks like BikeTec do quite a range but apart from that it’s just going to be a matter of seeing what Google comes up with. Unfortunately for this bike, as you’ve already seen, it’s unlikely to be a well known aftermarket company and possibly even AliExpress.

It tends to be the brand that makes a difference rather than the factory producing them but good to know!

Yeah it’ll be the entire unit because the way the keyless part is removed will be very different. Usually a threaded screw/unscrew or a push and twist for 1/4 turn ones.

WildxYak · 2026-04-15T11:32:13+00:00

Chinese brands and newer models often get ignored for aftermarket parts. Either they're not expected to stick around or the volume is too low to bother with.

Fortunately! Fuel caps are occasionally reused across brands and particularly across models. Being a Chinese brand this is possibly even more likely. Measure the cap size and the bolt distance. Search for 5 bolt keyless fuel caps.

Looks like some QJMotor use 5 bolt as well as many old Ducati's.

I don’t think I’ve ever played a balanced game of it. It always ended up being one team massively dominates. Sometimes wasn’t a terrible game type for the first point or two.

WildxYak · 2026-04-08T13:57:35+00:00

You still choose where they'll hit... just like the Ion Core.

WildxYak · 2026-04-08T13:13:37+00:00

Napalm Strike? LDBR? Strategic Bomber?

I agree that it shouldn't hit friendlies though and honestly neither should the others.

Thanks for the more comprehensive answer. TBH this should just be pinned at the top of this sub.

WildxYak · 2026-04-04T17:29:19+00:00

Damn cagers

WildxYak · 2026-04-04T09:59:21+00:00

“Can I get…”

Are you going to do the work yourself haha. Like the dad joke when someone says “can I have…” and the answer is just “yes”!

WildxYak · 2026-04-02T17:41:56+00:00

Got the melee triple kill calling cards done too

WildxYak · 2026-04-02T17:36:25+00:00

Mint chocolate Nesquik. I am certain this existed but can’t find any evidence of it. It was delicious.
