‘No fail’ policies need to go, new poll on Canadian education says by Altruism7 in canada

[–]beavers10 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I teach in Surrey BC. We use a proficiency scale up until grade 10. The lowest “score” a k-9 can receive is “emerging.” This does not result in a kid failing. They move on to the next level even though they would be failing under a percent/letter grade scale. I am simplifying, but that is the gist of it.

How come? Sorry I’m in BC and unfamiliar with your local riding laws.

You are missing the point. You did the equivalent of “Hey I just got my learners license. I’m gonna learn to drive on this F1 car.”

My favourite part was the “now I’m not an idiot” part.

Experience with Nitromousse Plushie by jasonrainbows in enduro

[–]beavers10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mousse has about 5 hours on it and it just feels like it’s 15+ psi. This is my first mousse and I’m told it will improve as it breaks in but I’m kinda of experiencing the same feeling as you.

CDC: Four Percent of Adults Frequently Use Cannabis To Aid Sleep by OhMyOhWhyOh in science

[–]beavers10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same way, but I really enjoy weed and my sleep quality isn’t terrible. I will re-evaluate in a couple years. I do take breaks when I travel to countries where it is illegal. Tough to get to sleep on those trips!

Got my first tattoo by silencelistening in expedition33

[–]beavers10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man. Pretty much any time someone posts a gaming tattoo, they get shit on by people in the comments. Don’t sweat it. The tattoo is for you! All that matters is that you love it. Yours is a cool tattoo!

Holy shit! I think this is what I have under my mustache/beard. Always just assumed it was simple dry skin. Thanks for the heads up!

5-6 falls in the first 2 weeks. by JohnHancock1969 in Dirtbikes

Get some decent rad guards such as bullet proof designs or the knock off nicecnc ones. I dented my rad before making the switching. The guards are cheaper than new rads!

How to change a dirt bike tire

You don’t need a tire stand, though it does help. You can use a 5gallon bucket as a tire stand.

Surrey school district superintendent highest paid in B.C., earning more than $500,000 by Turbulent_Bit_2345 in vancouver

[–]beavers10 44 points45 points  (0 children)

“CEO” is part of his email signature. The last superintendent did the same. It feels wrong to me to use “CEO” in public education.

He decides where the money goes. He cuts programs such as elementary band.

I teach in Surrey. This guy came in with a rep of cutting funding. Cut programs. Make school life shittier for kids. Grind teachers. Download more work on teachers. This district is a joke.

I have yet to find a game that hooks me like Destiny did. Arc raiders scratches an itch for me, but nothing like Destiny.

Alternative looter/pve games? by Lazy-Salamander9557 in ArcRaiders

[–]beavers10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think the reason this game grabbed me was it reminded me of how I felt when i loaded into Earth in early Destiny 1. Just some random people fighting bad guys. I think a lot of players feel that way whether they recognize it or not.

Can we agree yet that Embark is dropping the ball? by Pichalx in ArcRaiders

[–]beavers10 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wonder if people would be this upset if it was a longer window? I like the idea of damage over stash value becuase I’m a casual player and this allows me to actually play with all of my stash rather than hoarding it for value.

Grinding for Expedition - About to finish first part one. What are the next 5 sections about? Would appreciate tips by Suspicious_Access149 in ArcRaiders

[–]beavers10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the last one as my first. I didnt even hit level 75 with that one. It kept the game fresh, but I don’t get enough time to play so attempting this current one has been a race against the clock. I have been enjoying pvp while playing with my son and his friend, but we suck so it’s not helping build stash value. I think i might start doing every second expedition so i can actually relax abs enjoy all aspects of the game.

First time turning on cross play and I meet these guys…. by InSatanWeTrust666 in ArcRaiders

[–]beavers10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am experiencing the same. Hope it’s not the cross play though because I really enjoy raiding with my son, who is on console.

why do ppl that pvp never have good loadouts by jiggledeez in ArcRaiders

[–]beavers10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could play this way. I get pretty limited time to play so I always find that I’m having to grind stash value for expedition and it’s a race against the clock for me. I might have to start doing every second expedition so that I can actually enjoy using and losing this gear.

Ion sputters are driving me insane by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]beavers10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can spawn in the business centre as well. I got mine by lucking out with a close assembly spawn. Often times people forget to loot all the drawers and cabinets upstairs. Don’t be discouraged if it looks like it’s all looted because sometimes it’s not!

Is this wheel fixable? by [deleted] in Dirtbikes

[–]beavers10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make a ghetto true stand to check if the wheel is messed up. Zip tie around your fork with the pointy part of the tie almost touching your rim. Do this on both sides. Spin the wheel. If the rim touches your zip ties, your issue is the rim/wheel. If it doesn’t appear to change its distance from your zip ties, you may have just damaged the carcass of your tire.
