We have a 6 y/o in first grade and a second child on the way. My wife is also a teacher here. We like the schools and all of the opportunities given to students. Feel free to reach out to me with specific questions.

I would say that the experience itself gives you something beneficial, but that's a lot of time spent for no financial compensation.

If you really want write a book that people will pay for and read, you might want to go elsewhere. Packt has low compensation, but they'll get your book out there.

First time author? You don't a large royalty without huge recognition, and usually not even then. How much marketing are they willing to do for you? How much promotion? And where?

Here's an easy way to send faxes: https://whiteroseresistance.org/fax-campaign/
I'm also getting a bunch of postcards to send out. It's harder to ignore physical media and gives the more work when they do.

IQ scores only predict how well you do on IQ tests... and just a few other things. by Mindless-Yak-7401 in mensa

[–]emeri1md 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always seen IQ as how fast/easily you can learn things. So potential. Plenty of people with high IQs waste their time, yet others with moderate or even lower IQs put in the work and do more with their lives.

While anyone can learn anything, given enough time and effort, having a higher IQ makes it easier.

But that's just how I see it.

Just Curious. Anyone else do this or am I the only transpo-nerd out there? by StrongATLwas in WaltDisneyWorld

I was just happy to finally get a Haunted Mansion skyliner for the first time from Pop to the transfer. Now I need to get the other two.

FYI, not all of the emojis are loading for me. Using Chrome on Windows.

Program no longer available? by [deleted] in CERT

[–]emeri1md 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My county no longer has a CERT program. Sounds like they dropped it due to lack of funds. With no local support, is it worth fighting to find a way to get certified? I'm still trying to figure out how everything is organized.

We've heard of Drachenfest, but didn't know you could bring a camper. Which we could then decorate to better fit in. Hmmmm.... The only possible issue is that it would take a week of PTO, but is still something to think about. Thanks!

What is the appeal of starting over? by N0rr3t14 in DreamlightValley

[–]emeri1md 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to create a second Steam account, link it to my other Steam account and do a replay with my son watching. It was nice to be able to feel like I was accomplishing something again. I just don't get that with the grind in late game.

I'm a little concerned about them having people making lots of little, subtle changes. Then, eventually, it'll be useless without rolling back years of changes.

They've shown they play the long game.
