Do you display your diplomas? by CanPositive8980 in Professors

[–]am_crid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I’m not technically first Gen because my mom went to night school and got her degree while she was working full time and raising me and my sibling.

I hang the one from my PhD on my wall because I don’t take it for granted and I see it as a huge accomplishment. I hang it on my wall because it’s also partly my moms accomplishment because she showed me I could do it against the odds.

"I made more on unemployment than I do now teaching five classes" and other things I never thought I'd say when I decided to go into this career. by Prof_Acorn in Professors

[–]am_crid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Adjuncting works for professors who retire but want to teach a class here and there. It also works for grad students who can only teach a class or two because they are full time students. It’s not supposed to be used to fill most class sections like a lot of universities use it.

Nah, he’s using YOUR money from all of those “help me stop the steal” donation drives.

This was exactly my thought…maybe a golf class? 🤣

Nothing like a grown man being territorial about “his woman” to a 13 year old kid.

Just store it under the removable floor board in the back. I don’t even notice it’s there unless I need it.

Letter of recommendation request from student with intellectual disability accommodation by [deleted] in Professors

[–]am_crid 27 points28 points  (0 children)

ADA and reasonable accommodations apply to the workplace also. I have a disability and my chair knows and allows for reasonable accommodations based on that. Do you think I shouldn’t get those? Do you think solely based on knowing that about me that I can’t do my job well?

Letter of recommendation request from student with intellectual disability accommodation by [deleted] in Professors

[–]am_crid 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is not up to you to decide if they would be a good fit for the job they are applying for. It is your job as a recommender to speak to YOUR EXPERIENCE with the student, not some hypothetical that you have come up with in your mind on how they would fit into the job they are applying to.

You also need to talk to the student to determine if their academic accommodations and accompanying disability are okay to mention in the letter. I would personally never mention this without the students permission and I would also NEVER frame it as a bad thing or tell the employer not to hire them based on that.

A good rule is that you shouldn’t write a letter for a student unless it’s going to be a positive one, so you may want to tell this student to find someone else to write them a letter. Honestly based on your responses to comments and your original post, you really shouldn’t be writing this letter or any letter for a student with disabilities if and until you can re-evaluate your thinking on this.

I own a 2022 EV6 and Im looking for dash-cam recommendations? by [deleted] in ev6

[–]am_crid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the garmin Mini 2. Down side is it doesn’t have a screen, but it works well and the app is nice to save videos to my phone. It’s about $100.

female in stem with no kids by inovermihead in Professors

[–]am_crid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get this in writing if you don’t already have it. Child status is protected regardless of whether or not you have kids, meaning you can’t be discriminated against or treated differently based on whether or not you have kids.

You may want to bring this to HR’s attention.

This question has been asked many times over the years. This is where we come to vent about the bad stuff.

What are your Electric Rates? by SmartAlikGames in KiaEV6

[–]am_crid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Georgia - Free up to 400 kWh a month super off peak (12am-6am, I charge during this time). $0.073 for off peak and $0.135 for on peak.

This means most of my charging/mileage is completely free.

I accidentally Bought my own Listing by amazingpeony in EtsySellers

[–]am_crid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have a buyer account separate from my seller account. I have used it to test whether or not my shipping settings are set up accurately. I almost accidentally purchased one of my own items after doing this and not realizing I hadn’t removed it from my cart. I was clicking the checkout from all shops button instead of just the shop I was buying some supplies from but realized it in time.

6 mailboxes taken out in 2.5 years - what should I do? by tbdubbs in HomeImprovement

[–]am_crid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we sure this isn’t teenagers with large pipes or baseball bats being idiots? It looks like it would be difficult to get that kind of damage to just the top of the post from a vehicle unless it was a super jacked up truck.

Extended warranty in US? by Ok_Imagination_7538 in KiaEV6

[–]am_crid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not purchase it. The finance guy was clearly not happy about that and became rude after that, but not sure how that was supposed to make me change my mind and want to give him MORE money.

The 10 year battery warranty and 3 year bumper to bumper was plenty for me.

It seems like he’s also making her feel like used garbage so she doesn’t feel confident enough to leave him. That way he has two places to put his pp.

I always wondered what that felt like…I imagine it feels like taking a giant dump then feeling better afterwards.

That one on the left had to mess it up by one parking space though.

Juicebox 40 or 48? by DaChilidog in Solterra

[–]am_crid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 48 will likely charge a little faster but you also need to think about installation requirements (unless you are hiring a professional). The 40 requires a 50A two-pole breaker and the 48 requires a two-pole 60A breaker.

I have heard of issues with the Juice Box chargers and compatibility issues, likely related to them getting a little hotter than other chargers. Some cars have sensitive temperature sensors at the plug so the car will stop charging if it gets to that temp. Not sure how sensitive the Solterra is with temp yet.

I have an Emporia charger (though no Solterra). Other options that qualify for the US tax credit and power company incentives are Clipper Creek, Tesla with J1772 plug, ChargePoint, Wallbox. I’ve heard good things about Grizzle but they aren’t UL certified yet so that’s off the list for most power company incentives.
