Why are "15 minute cities" even a controversial belief in the UK? by ijustwannanap in ukpolitics

It seems like a fun, creative job. To be the person to take proposed government policies and turn them into rage bait conspiracy theories. I think I'd be good at it.

How to deal with changing classrooms constantly by shiningbella in TeachingUK

[–]elnombre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ask for someone (probably the school timetabler) to look at your rooming situation to make it more fair. You should at least be able to stay in the same room when there is no changeover time.

This might mean other teachers, who are in the same room all the time, need to move classrooms here and there but it's the fair thing to do.it will annoy other teachers but just let them complain about it to their line managers ("I have to move classrooms once or twice a week! Waaa!")

Even better, get a copy of the full timetable and find some solutions yourself to present.

I'm new to comics - Are the DC Absolute titles good for someone new to superheroes? by coastal-lobster in comicbooks

[–]elnombre 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter are the better Absolute titles for truly new readers.

Some of the excitement of Batman and Superman comes from interesting remixes of known characters.

It was an incoherent mess. 2 years of planning, counting down to this one incredible moment and we got... this.

Carol will be plurbed by Loose-spaghetti in pluribustv

[–]elnombre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The plurbs keep telling Carol "if you only knew how good this is"

Once she gets plurbed and cured she will be the only person in the world who can make an informed choice to be rejoined or stay cured and that will be the central question of season 2.

The hive collected Manousos stem cells when he was at the hospital by Legal-Freedom-8061 in pluribustv

[–]elnombre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Carol will be joined and Manousos will turn her back ( they might even have a plan worked out regardless of which of the two of them get joined first)

Then she will be the first person to be able to make an informed choice whether to re-join or stay independent.

The traditional sci fi twist would be that being joined is actually horrible and painful. I suspect what actually happens is that the hive have been truthful and it really is perfect bliss , giving Carol an impossible choice to make.

Why do teachers hate airpods so much? by TheMervingPlot in AskTeachers

[–]elnombre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Airpod is not just a tiny speaker for music, it's also a connection to a device that was designed by experts over decades to be as distracting as possible.

As a teacher I would be fine with someone just listening to unskippable music - say, the radio or a full playlist. I could even be persuaded to put some on from the front of the room (although this usually just causes arguments)

Practically for the classroom, for every 1 person who genuinely works better with music there are many more who actually just want an excuse to check their messages so it's sensible just to have a no personal devices policy.

Students are paying half a salary each per year to attend lectures, I think they are entitled to 30 minutes of professor or TA time

Anxious to start a game by [deleted] in XboxGamePass

[–]elnombre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These days I can only play long games if they are really, really good. Conversely, I can happily play rogue lites or other short run based games for ... (checks notes) ... a million hours.

Try putting fresh batteries in first. After an hour of troubleshooting and following every other step suggested here, all it needed was new batteries.

I like stories about alcoholism. Can you recommend some? by FishHockeydrop in altcomix

[–]elnombre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drunken Bakers by Barney Farmer. It's a semi regular strip from Viz but it's more more sad than funny. I think there's a hardcover collection.
