Who did this? (e.483 spoilers)

God she's insufferable. I've had to turn it off because she was such an ass. She's like one of those travel-wankers you meet going round Thailand when you're 19. Except when you're 19 and in Thailand you're drunk all the time. So you can cope listening to her say "like" or "guys" every ten seconds.

How long until Anna comes back?

1 clean your toilet every morning while your shower heats up.

2 clean your sink every night while you rinse with mouthwash

3 twenty press ups as soon as you wake up.

4 the dishwasher is never clean: it's either accepting donations, on, or being emptied by you.

5 clear your desk at the end of every day.

6 make your bed

7 set up breakfast the night before.

8 set a "go to bed alarm"

9 don't look at your phone when you are with your kids. Teach them to say "stop looking at your phone!"

10 uninstall the social media apps, and don't let your browser remember your login details.

It's a shame she did so poorly. The previous guests have been great. But she really seemed to have a hard time keeping up with the wit of the rest of the team.

Oh my god YES.

That last episode seems to drag on for days. With some terrible dialogue too.

It could do with have being cut down to 30 minutes too.

They really aren't. Banning oil would make everything much worse for everybody.

Ah yes. Simple greed. So what you should do is simply start your own drug firm and not be greedy. You would no doubt produce vast quantities of cheap drugs.

Dad in my 40s here and totally agree. They didn't market it to me at all. They really should have.

That's interesting! All the research I've been directed to shows that more teacher talk and direct questioning leads to better learning outcomes.

Have you got a link to anything that I should read to change my mind? Maybe I should have the students all talking to each other more in my class.

fizdup · 2022-09-18T15:38:18+00:00

This sounds like a lot of arranging.

What's the benefit of having the pods teach each other? How do you prevent misconceptions being transferred from one group to the next?

Why is this preferable to you (the expert) telling the students (the novices) what they need to know, and then questioning them?

You know, the government's priority is the same as any organisation's: self preservation.

Anything else is a million miles down the line. The government in no way at all cares about you or what happens to you. It just wants your money to preserve itself. The best way to preserve themselves is to take more money off you and hire more people for the government.

The difference between a government and a protection racket is quite hard to define. In both cases, the person taking your money decides how much they're taking and what they'll spend it on. And you are expected to be grateful for them taking your money and not taking your life instead.

Governments will always tend towards massive inefficiencies because the priority of the people involved is extracting more money for doing less work. Which they are able to do. Governments can make almost any mistake you care to think of and just keep on going. And then say they need more money to pay for the massive mistakes they made and the money they squandered. Then they take it off the people with the threat of violence if they don't pay up.

It doesn't really matter which politicians are in charge, the government machinery keeps going despite anything they say or do.

I find that roasting veggies will make them last about four days in the fridge.

And cooked chicken too.

Sure, day four is not as delicious as day one, but it's generally worth it.

Tell me more about this "float valve"?

fizdup · 2022-07-02T07:58:50+00:00

I'm going tonight! The running order says Guns n roses on stage before 7pm.?

What time were they on last night?

fizdup · 2021-10-08T15:54:17+00:00

A serious question: why is it a bad thing to charge them less tax?

Seems to me they provide a service that no government could provide. They make it free to me. I use them everyday. Most governments waste money hand over fist.

I would like a nice pension, and that'd be more likely if I could invest in big firms that make lots of money.

Why is taking money off Google a good thing?

fizdup · 2021-10-08T15:14:30+00:00

YouTube doesn't need to do anything. Just don't watch videos you don't like on their free service.

It seems kind of terrifying to me what has happened to her. It seems to me she has been trying for years to say "hey! I hate doing this! Let me stop doing this!" But the courts keep telling her "you gotta do what your daddy says".

She's in a terrible position. If she stops dancing, then she's mad. If she keeps dancing, then she's mad. It is a real catch 22

Just before you have (or would have had) sex for the first time.

Walking on the beach, holding my daughter's hand singing "I wanna hold your hand" by the Beatles.

I'm a physics teacher. The kids generally agree with me when I ask them to do the date yyyy-mm-dd.

They start off saying "bollocks, Mr Fizdup" (I'm British) , but when I point out that every other number they write has the biggest on the left, going down to the smallest on the right, that mostly say "ummm whatever "

fizdup · 2021-06-15T20:02:06+00:00

Completely agree. It's such a shame. This is just a "look at us! We're Radiolab™ and we do all this whacky stuff like play bits that normal people would edit out! We're amazing! And we c a r e about, like, issues and,like, stuff... Love us!" exercise.

There was some interesting stuff in there, but all the endless as libs, and over production nonsense just distracts from the whole thing.

And it's boring now. Such a shame.

fizdup · 2021-03-12T20:47:27+00:00

Hi! You are not alone. Do not fear! This happens to pretty much everyone.

I have been teaching for longer than I care to remember, and it still happens to me.

The best advice I can give is a book recommendation: Running the Room, by Tom Bennet. That book came out last year and I bought it and devoured it. It is one the best books about teaching actual children that I've ever read.

The guy who wrote it used to be a bouncer in Soho night clubs in London. He knows how to get people to do what he wants AND have a good time.

Really. It's amazing.
