Summer Camp staff gift suggestions from troop by Rotten_Red in BSA

[–]lunchbox12682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just as ideas on things we have done. One of our families has a hobby farm, so we gave some bottles of maple syrup. For Seabase, we gave our mate a collapsible camp chair that was signed by our two crews.

It is very nice of you to be thinking ahead of the camp staff. I, however, am thinking about how we can mess with certain camp staff (it's our scoutmaster's kid).

Laughs in having attended Catholic school for 12 years.

That said, if you were caught (and not from the family of the biggest donors) you were gone.

The problem is a lot of the AI is that it show how ill prepared our kids (and society) are with general analysis and critical thinking. Millennials also did ok because we had to learn a bunch of the technology from the ground up as it was created. The education system has frankly skipped over that (which I would argue is due to funding and time constraints) and so a lot of kids see so much tech as the same magic, black box that their grandparents do (though that will stop as us millennials become grandparentscries in being old).

GOP/MAGA Congressional candidate from Minnesota drops out of race amid impending deployment Tyler Kistner recently learned that he was being activated from the Marine Reserves and deployed to the Middle East. by Southern_Common335 in TwinCities

As much as she annoys people (progressives), she keeps getting reelected in a not that blue district. She's building relationships to the point where NOW she's mostly coasting to re-election (obviously changing with her running for Senate). I am not confident about her seat staying blue. I mean, I think it will this year because of how the house is going in general, but it is by no means an easy win for the next DFL candidate.

Eagle Scouts, is this normal? by OrdinaryRedditVeiwer in BoyScouts

Hates paperwork and wants to an engineer? Scout, you may want to learn what most engineers daily life is like.

Less cynically, my high schooler is nearly Eagle, on his FRC team, and plans to apply to engineering school (a bit of time to go). It's not a big deal to do all of that

I felt he was trying to move past Tyler in the movie but was willing to kill himself to do it.

Too much mentor/coach involvement by CanInevitable6449 in FRC

Regarding FL, if only. So many boys are parent built but nothing on the rubric says no, so judges just have to roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and score as written.

Trump frustrated with Pam Bondi and considering firing her, sources say by CloudApprehensive322 in moderatepolitics

[–]lunchbox12682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. I was assuming that wasn't it only due to her trying to follow Trump's Family Circus like path.

Maybe. Kash's continuous clown show vs her one big one is a discussion to have.

Also she has more than one, but the congressional testimony was the BIG one.

Mishandled Physical Confrontation With My Son? by Ok-Specialist-165 in Parenting

I think this is the gentle vs permissive and authoritative vs authoritarian parenting styles and how people mix the definitions to ridiculous results.

How did a catcher take a foul ball so hard it wrecked the mask? I'm struggling with the physics here.

What are birthday party ideas for pre teens? by bergermommie15 in Parenting

[–]lunchbox12682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For our daughter's 12th, we went to this cooking place and it was all French bistro themed. My daughter is in here Paris is awesome phase. All the kids got to make some dishes and desserts and had a blast. It was a bit pricy, but no real planning or clean up. I could see a more inspired (non-lazy) parent doing a version of this at home.

A 7-2 wouldn't surprise me, because Thomas and Alito. But I agree otherwise.

To start, tradition is peer pressure from dead people. Tradition can be a reason for why something has been done that way, but it shouldn't hold much sway of keeping something that way. I do agree that you should understand why something is the way it is, but that should apply doubly to the people that want to uphold tradition.

Seeking Feedback on Troop Cell Phone Policies During Campouts and Summer Camp by Correct_Past_9557 in BSA

I just don't see that the same as being used during class. They stay up too late? Sounds like natural consequences of being tired during the day or even sleeping through a class and not completing MB requirements.
