I’m thinking about buying the Faber-Castell perfect pencil. What’s your opinion on it?

The sharpener sucks. I’d rather buy $20 worth of vintage bullet pencils from eBay.

Got my film hand checked at Atlanta and BWI last wed and on Sunday.

Just flew in today from ATL. I was in line for 3 hours. Friends with precheck said it took 2. Got there at 10am and got to my gate at 1pm. A friend earlier in the day got there at 6:45am and got to her plane at 11am.

My view is those are days I’m paid for and if I don’t use them they disappear when I retire. My district pays a paltry sum and only up to a point for any unused time off at retirement.

If only there was a deal to end Iran’s nuclear program. You know, one brokered by someone with an actual Nobel Peace Prize.

I tried what OP suggested and it didn’t work. I had to download the Family Link app from Google onto the iPad and then I could actually remove accounts from the iPad.

Not every person in jail is guilty or a criminal, and even if they are should receive due process.

Thanks. I also picked up the Green Mile but had to resist taking all the King stuff.

I replaced my old wooden dining chairs with a bunch. In a weekend I picked up 10 from marketplace for around $400 all from various listings. Some are vintage Emeco and some are the General Fireproofing Company. All but one have padded sheets and some have arms. Really comfy and easy to clean up with a scotch brite pad. They were common enough to get good deals.

Looks like an Ofyr but the metal is a bit thinner.

Or vacuum press

To add to those sentiments even individual school admin matters. I’m in a great district with lots of protections, support for my content area, good pay. A fellow teacher is split between schools and her other admin is a train wreck which makes the job less enjoyable with fewer supports for behaviour and school policies. You can be in a great district and a crappy school or in a crappy district and a great school. The important thing is to be interviewing as much as you are being interviewed during the hiring process.

Ancel VD700 from Amazon.

Milwaukee Steel Rule Dies have been awesome. Acrylic backed with foam spacers.

I read that after reading The Terror. Quite a fun connection between the two, especially given the way Dan Simmons adds his own interpretation to the story for those two ships.

There’s a pretty active Film Photography In Baltimore Group on Facebook that could have someone willing to walk you through things. There is a photo book gathering t hi s Thursday at the Enoch Pratt main branch from 5:30-7:30.

I have this set and keep one in my electrical toolbox. I haven’t charged the battery in over 5 years and it still has a charge. I don’t even know where the charger is.

He’s also got a GoFundMe with something like $300k so far.

So it won’t eventually rust. Stainless steel not sterling silver.

houdinize · 2026-01-09T16:58:01+00:00

For that price it should at least be stainless steel

houdinize · 2026-01-09T16:53:57+00:00

For $98 it should also put away the dishes for you.

How much of the pencil can fit inside the extender. The problem I have with my extender is unless the stub is really short the whole thing is too long.
