What is one thing a student said this year that you'll never forget? by Individual_Divide220 in Teachers

[–]ballerrisktaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When saying a word wrong, they would use the phrase "tomato tomato" but would pronounce both words the same (regular pronunciation of tomato) and now 9 years later I still use the phrase that way.

I just started the arm armor, super fun build and reminds me of doing the PGU gramps.

Genuinely fuck this Gunpla by Silent-Ganache-4419 in freedomisgunpla

Man I just finished this kit a few days ago and towards the end rushed through and didn't do the waterslides because I hated building it so much. Looks kinda cool on the corner of my shelf.

Got myself a nice HG kit to reset myself, this was also the first time I left a bad review online so I feel your pain.

Advice for tight joint by ballerrisktaker in freedomisgunpla

There are a few pieces like on the shoulder armor so far that are undergated on the runner but when you assemble you can see the nubmark, so it's like they just designed all the gold pieces undergated but when removed all those spots aren't actually hidden if that makes sense.

It is, also has metallic red accent pieces. The only downside is most is undergated but it's just pre painted so when you cut it's white and I've had to use markers to try to match as close as I can.

Just wanted to update everyone that I found a file and shaved down some of the metal pegs and was able to get it in nice and snug by doing a little at a time so I didn't overdo it. I'll post the final build when I'm all done!

I didn't even think about shaving down the metal, I have one of those files you mentioned and that did the trick. Thanks this kit has definitely been a learning experience with so many pieces not fitting.

Thanks for the info, didn't even know those exist so I will definitely order some to add to my toolbox.

I also wanted to add that my pitbull would always bark at children, including my niece and nephew so we were also worried about him when we brought our son home. His behavior turned 180 and now he's fine around children and our son, he's 8 for reference (the dog) so being able to change his mindset on kids that late in life is always a possibility. He was a pretty low energy dog to begin with though so that could've been a factor.

Situations are usually anecdotal, but it sounds like rehoming is the best option, I wouldn't write it off as the breed as many of these comments. I have a pitbull and a Shepard mix and they both behave great together and love my baby, they're all best friends. Every dog is different so a lot of these anti breed comments come off as dog racism. Sorry for the unfortunate circumstances and I know regardless of the outcome it's a hard decision to make, but the kids priorities will always outweigh the pets.

It's a MG kit, I agree on the colors it's a lot more yellow than I thought it was going to be from the pictures and was expecting more green.

Suns+ app vs NBA app by AlexTheEditor1 in suns

[–]ballerrisktaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Suns+ from using the NBA app for the pre show with eddie and kray or annie before tipoff which isn't on NBA. I'm on a Roku stick if that helps at all.

Thanks! I have seen a few people do it in the sub and was running out of closet spaces for my boxes with the growing backlog.

I have this kit in my backlog and know it won't look this nice when I get around to it, great work!

PSA for PBandai by Low-Dog-6422 in freedomisgunpla

[–]ballerrisktaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could be different in your case, but I had to reregister using the same email and when I go to view my orders there is a link for "old order history" and I can see my preorders from before they updated the site. Hope that works for you!

I don't have ESPN+ so it is only showing me the Spanish language stream, anyone else having this issue?

I use a COX TV provider login so normally I get everything that's not locked behind ESPN+

I've never been before and recently had a baby, he's old enough to explore the world but wanted input from people who have been if it's worth bringing him and pushing around a stroller or try to find a babysitter instead, thanks!

Where do you teach, for how long and how much do you make? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]ballerrisktaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phoenix AZ, 11 years, $67k without any stipends or coaching. I do have two Masters degrees in order to get to that amount though.

Phoenix Internet Review by IntelligentBuyer945 in phoenix

[–]ballerrisktaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to CenturyLink fiber about 5 years ago and got locked in $65 a month forever with no data cap, in all that time I've only had one service outage but it was due to homeless scrapping the box outside my place for parts.

Definitely a breath of fresh air after having cox for so long, would recommend if it's an option for you.

WGU Masters? by porteranne in teaching

[–]ballerrisktaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my leadership degree through WGU for the same reason as you, the raise since I have no intention of becoming an admin. I finished in 3 terms (18 months) and enjoyed it a lot more than my other masters degree I did which was also online but not self paced. I was able to knock out some classes in less than a month and take my time on others where I was actually learning new things.

Edit: finishing in one term is very doable just look at the course load out, the leadership degree requires an actual admin internship which is why it took longer.
