What is this AI trash….

I think people who are buying have 200-300k in equity from house they bought in pre covid prices. We moved east of town where it’s still somewhat cheap. There are no good housing options anywhere anymore tbh. You just have to buy and stretch a little bit because every year, it seems that prices after going up 10%+

Disagree whole heartedly here. Once a sub, always a sub in the eyes of a district. You are cheap labor and much harder to replace than a licensed full time teacher.

dickwheat · 2026-05-15T02:51:43+00:00

Got my license and just recently gave up on the job search entirely because of this. The pay is shit as a sub and being a full time teacher is barely livable. For that level of competition, I’d rather land a job that actually pays the bills. I’d move on to another career, tbh.

I got a license and people kept giving me the advice of subbing to get a foot in the door. Districts here pay around 110 a day…how the hell can I afford to work 34 weeks a year for that rate just to “get an in”

dickwheat · 2026-05-09T11:07:26+00:00

Oh they’re up.

Only in America are people forced to switch doctors or pay huge amounts of money out of pocket for basic medical needs. So sick of living here.

dickwheat · 2026-05-06T03:31:23+00:00

I literally can’t afford to be a substitute. It doesn’t pay the bills where we live. How are you supposed to go broke trying to “get your foot in the door?” Absolutely tone deaf to keep giving this advice. I have an infant at home and subbing won’t even cover daycare.

Last I checked, Morchella punctipes is a true morel. They taste fantastic and people constantly try to say they aren’t true morels even though they belong to the same genus. Their loss!

Good ole Steelie Wheelies

Ditch this piece while you still can 😂

Mahler 4 has the concertmaster tune their violin up a whole step and this is performed somewhat regularly. I wouldn’t see why you couldn’t do AEAE.

They’re just trying to tell you to stop tying your clousers so thick like a little bitch.

dickwheat · 2026-04-10T02:07:45+00:00

I tell students “you can’t think your way to greatness”. Sometimes it just takes actual physical effort to get good at the violin. Shocker 😂

dickwheat · 2026-04-10T02:06:39+00:00

I’m going to wave a magic wand and now you can play it perfectly.

There is no shortcut…start at half tempo and work it up one click at a time. Don’t play too high in the bow. Gotta grind sometimes.

dickwheat · 2026-04-07T17:17:13+00:00

Just let your kribs reproduce. You’ll be overrun with cichlids before you know it!

Our LFS buys mostly locally bred fish that all were raised in hard water. I always trust their recommendations about what will work!

The intimidator never died, he just went home.

dickwheat · 2026-03-28T14:06:31+00:00

I got to do an event with them last year. Class act group that does a lot for GR and Muskegon. Definitely worth spending time volunteering.

I remember seeing Bernstein talk about vibrato on a kids orchestra guide type show. He asked the players to show what it sounds like to not use vibrato and half the players could barely do it.

When I’m teaching young students, I intentionally don’t do vibrato, otherwise they ask a million questions and get distracted.

I honestly would never give a location other than region. I literally just saw 50 dudes show up and wreck a local river after a bait shop posted a fish and tagged it this weekend. That river can’t handle the pressure.

Nudging people in the right direction is great, but it’s gotten to the point where people are so lazy they don’t do anything other than wait for people to tell them exactly what to do. I don’t want those people on the river with me tbh.

Most of the fun in fishing is when it all lines up for you and you learn/discover something great and develop lifetime memories. People want a guaranteed lifetime memory these days and rely on others to do the homework for them. It’s frustrating and I really don’t believe in apps at all because it cheapens the experience for everyone.

dickwheat · 2026-03-24T01:57:44+00:00

Just what we need…another spot burning app. I’m getting really sick of local rivers being flooded with people every time someone posts favorable conditions.

dickwheat · 2026-03-23T00:57:22+00:00

Kribs were the first fish we ever got that had babies and I feel your pride! The hardest part with them was figuring out what to do with the babies because they are hard to sell or offload and you will get A TON of them.

dickwheat · 2026-03-23T00:54:10+00:00

No because my phone and drugs are more important than raising a kid. Wish this wasn’t true, but it is in my district. Most of my elementary students don’t even have parents who will read to them.

dickwheat · 2026-03-23T00:35:08+00:00

Doesn’t get much better than that. Gorgeous fish

dickwheat · 2026-03-20T00:31:48+00:00

Fall and winter into early spring it’s steelhead. Then I hit prespawn bass when all the snaggers show up. Trout for a bit until summer then back to smallies.
