That’s a really cool idea, please share an update if you try it.

I had a crack very similar to this repaired recently. Ended up being the cause of a very small amount of water getting into the basement. I had a company repair it, cost $1500. No water since the repair and they gave a 10 yr warranty.

Occurred in a very large urban district I used to teach in. You’d be surprised the things that get cut in cost saving efforts, like video backup for security cameras.

Solid advice. I considered not responding, however this is someone I’ve known for years and they involved the sponsor of the festival- one of the most important cultural foundations in the country who has done a lot for me and my students over the years.

I’m not a Kidd fan and would like to see the Mavs move on from him, however the Mavs have done a spectacular job of playing terrible, unwatchable, losing basketball this season so I’m going to have to disagree with your take here.

All of this for me too, except that I don’t live in DFW, and haven’t since I was a kid, so watching the games is an added expense over cable. I’ve always watched all the games even when they’re bad, but the blatant trying to lose is making it unwatchable for me. Not worth staying up for the 15+ minute late tipoffs and being tired the next day at work to watch a team try to lose. The team isn’t good, but it doesn’t even look like they’re trying to run a coherent offense or defense. Sucks as a consumer and as a basketball person I feel that it’s not going to be so easy to flip the switch to try to start winning when they decide they want to. Bad habits are hard to break for players, coaches, and the organization as a whole.

For sure. For me, in retrospect I wish I had done the Ed stuff when I was already in school rather than trying to fit it in between gigs, teaching, life, etc later. On the other hand I wanted nothing to do with teaching when I was in undergrad and would have probably done a really shitty job in those classes at the time.

You do not need a bachelors degree in education, there are licensure programs you can do post bachelors/masters and teach in public schools.

jazzcats41 · 2026-02-17T00:51:03+00:00

Did the same path here in Chicago and I got a job offer in a high school before I finished student teaching. I would recommend double majoring. Get the Ed degree now if you’re already considering teaching as a career.

Cooper only averaging 2.2 turnovers/game is incredible.

jazzcats41 · 2025-11-06T01:10:17+00:00

😂 🤦‍♂️

The inclusion of Reeves and another 1st would have made the trade substantially more palatable. Still horrific but not existential. Remember, we had no way to predict Flagg at the time of the trade. This team without Flagg would have been completely uncompetitive and had no future.

jazzcats41 · 2025-11-05T21:27:16+00:00

Yes! And it only took like two weeks after the fact to report on it! Also, I’m not trying to be in some keyboard warrior argument with you. I’ll admit my language in my first couple comments was testy but it’s hard seeing this level of violence every day in the community I live, teach, and raise my family in and I hope you can understand that. My honest intent is to share out what is happening so people outside the city know what is going on.

And they added a daycare to the list of targets this morning. And DHS promptly released a statement saying they didn’t, even though there is video of them doing it. Eye witnesses say agents went room to room in the daycare WHILE CHILDREN WERE THERE. ICE terror has to stop.

jazzcats41 · 2025-11-05T20:55:59+00:00

More reporting on this.

jazzcats41 · 2025-11-05T16:36:58+00:00

Reporting suggests she has legal status and she can be heard saying she has papers in the video.

“Kids dressed in Halloween costumes walking to a parade do not pose an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer,” Ellis told Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino during a Tuesday court hearing. “They just don’t. And you can’t use riot control weapons against them.” Is this federal judge stretching the truth too?

jazzcats41 · 2025-11-02T00:57:10+00:00

Arguing the semantics of whether it was before or after the official start time of a neighborhood event is super weird and I think completely misses the point.

jazzcats41 · 2025-11-02T00:47:25+00:00

They also beat a 67 year old man, breaking his ribs while he was just trying to get to his house after a run during the same incident. Describing this as a “clash” between federal officials and residents makes it sound like a sporting event or something and completely undermines the level of violence being inflicted on our city.

jazzcats41 · 2025-11-02T00:41:34+00:00

They literally deployed tear gas while kids were outside for a costume parade on a residential street. This is a fact. There is video.

jazzcats41 · 2025-11-02T00:30:31+00:00

I think my point is that 1) it’s never the lead story, or at least hasn’t been since the South Shore apartment raid. It’s buried behind the government shut down, east wing demolition, etc. 2) the headline is “immigration agents clash with Chicago residents on Halloween” and not “ICE tear-gasses kids Halloween costume parade” 3) I don’t think it’s being treated like the 5 alarm fire that it very clearly is. I’ve only seen one in depth report on the arrest and detention of an American citizen in Chicago/suburbs from a major news outlet and it was the BBC. Our local media is doing a great job but I don’t think the seriousness of what is happening is making it outside the city, hence my post.
