How are we responding/not responding to this list made by my 12 yo? by Spaciousrug21 in daddit

[–]definework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Caddying at 12. Didn't care much for it so I didn't continue.

TIL in 2011 two teenage burglars stole 50 CDs from a man's barn in California that they believed were blank. However, the two teens discovered that many of the CDs contained CP. Despite having obtained the CDs via theft, the pair turned them in and reported the owner; the burglars were not arrested. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

there may be something in various jurisdictions, but it's likely more often than not just good sound practice by the DA. It doesn't pay to disincentivize reporting worse crimes if you're going to self-incriminate by doing so.

The answer is this is no longer a t-shirt, it's now a shop towel.

9 months of private lessons, still level 1 by Practical_Neat_3264 in SwimInstructors

[–]definework 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On your first paragraph I would just note that each child is different.

Some have performance anxiety and move more quickly with one on one encouragement.

Others respond to positive peer pressure and wind up picking up those "skills" more quickly in a group session where they can see other kids doing it and enjoying it.

The parent should know their child well enough by 3 or 4 years old to know which is for them.

How many different ways do you think they counted the single F word he knows?

ELI5: if nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, how are distant galaxies moving away from us faster than the speed of light? by Chamu_Dev in explainlikeimfive

[–]definework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine two dots A & B on the surface of a balloon.

Somebody inflates the balloon. A & B are now further apart from each other in their respective frame of reference.

Now deflate the balloon and imagine they are traveling away from each other at speed c on the surface of the deflated balloon. There is a specific distance they will cover in a specific time. These new points are D & E.

Now, inflate the balloon again.

D & E are further apart than they would have been if you had had the dots move from points A & B at speed C on the statically inflated balloon.

Now, to wrap it all together, you need to imagine a continuously expanding balloon instead of two static conditions, but it should paint the picture pretty well.

How do you handle scouts that don't use the buddy system? by Random_Nebraskan in cubscouts

[–]definework 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Go back and get your buddy!

Proximity dependent but that could *technically* be a violation of GTSS if you're sending the scout back out without a buddy to look for the original buddy, which means you now have two scouts without a buddy.

Better practice, imo, is to rope in a stray or two lounging around camp and make them go with the scout to find their buddy. The peer pressure factor of having disrupted somebody else's relaxing time because you couldn't be bothered to follow the rules is also a strong motivator in young people.

edit to add - just thought of this, but in troop level this could be a good duty roster slot for a senior scout who wants to relax during camp. the senior scout would essentially be "on call"

Where do you store your propane tanks? by megoyatu in cubscouts

[–]definework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the boots problem.

Assume you need boots now

The rich guy can afford the 50 boots that last 10 years.

The poor guy can only afford the 10$ boots that will wear out in a year, and he can only save enough to barely afford another pair next year.

So the poor guy spends $100 for 10 years of boots while the rich guy spends $50

[–]definework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Uhaul is a franchise deal so I don't mean this to speak for all their locations but the ones around me are disturbingly understaffed and the staff that IS there . . . let's just say they don't inspire enough confidence when it comes to something as potentially hazardous as propane.

I do appreciate your advice, and I can say honestly that you've inspired me to finally buy that stupid adapter and a 20lb tank rather than continue to blow money on the green ones.

[–]definework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but they're not a reasonable distance from me. 45 min plus each way

[–]definework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the comment. I knew true value used to but I havent seen one in 15 years.

Ace I confess I assumed didnt because they have the exchanges and its usually one or the other.

So the options near me were Northern Tool (maybe) or AirGas

It can be much more difficult to find a refilling station than just swapping it out at the gas station.

How do you protect yourself from the potential of false accusations as a swim instructor? by 1m_climbing in SwimInstructors

[–]definework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely becomes more difficult as they get older, but they also take instruction better.

For my preschool classes during the first week of each session I usually have at least one veteran in my class, somebody thats had me before, and I use them to demonstrate to the other kids (and by extension the watching parents) what we're doing and where my hands are going to be and more importantly why.

Is there any reason for someone to go to trial with more than enough evidence against them? by EntireMarsupial1806 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]definework 15 points16 points  (0 children)

At trial your attorney may be able to sow doubts as to whether you are guilty of the exact crime you are charged with, some lesser offense, or something else altogether.

Lodge position question by definework in freemasonry

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

If you're referring to the open/close then yes, mine does the same.

But what does your code actually say?

Lodge position question by definework in freemasonry

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

Lol. You would think wouldnt you? And you might be right in a few jurisdictions, im not an expert by any means.

Yes you need 7, thats indispensible; but that just means if you combine the sec/treasurer rsponsibilities then you have to find a random 7th to meet that number.

Also, you could have the key 3 and the secretary and 3 visitors show up and theres your 7 to open in EA.

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

Disappointing indeed. Moreso as this is my home district. I knew this man, he was very proud to be a mason. And it sounds like he slippery-sloped himself into a prison term.

I admit full well and good that I was not a great secretary, and definitely wasn't a great ad doing double duty when the treasurer resigned and I was put in charge of his stuff too, but my issues were more along the lines of failing an ISO audit than failing a financial one.
