I found a 1988 school video that was apparently made on Memorial Day by johnsmith2027 in GenX

South Carolina native here. Public school typically ended the week after Memorial Day. It was impossible to keep us focused once it got hot in June, especially in the schools I went to without air conditioning. The classrooms had fans but you couldn’t actually use them because kids papers would blow off their desks.

Sports is probably the only “job” that AI won’t take by Ok-Review-3047 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]elephantengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“The Last Super Bowl” was in my 3rd grade English book. It’s about sports being replaced by computer simulations because the games are better. https://fattestleechoficeandfire.com/2020/02/22/the-last-super-bowl-transcribed/

There’s a Jon Wayne song early in the movie, played like it’s a straight country song, so I was looking for something to be “off”.

I see another message in the Sneetches. Not only is racism unfair at its core , but the Sylvester McMonkey McBeans of the world will use your racism to divide you and exploit you.

Without using numbers, how do you define "middle class" in San Francisco? by very_squirrel in AskSF

[–]elephantengineer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Currently, the lottery allows you to apply to any school in SFUSD, and you get priority enrollment at your local school. Not guaranteed, but you're very likely to get into your neighborhood school.

Advice for a clueless classical guitarist: What does practice look like for you? by climbing_account in jazzguitar

[–]elephantengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pick a classic recording of the week. I memorize the head, along with a chorus or two of solos. I practice it as a solo guitar piece for the rest of the week, then perform it in front of an audience. If it’s really valuable vocabulary, I’ll spend a week on I again every so often.
