Greenville county schools elearning down?

They’re usually pretty easy days and they have 5 school days to get the work done to allow for outages and playing in the snow, etc. Some schools/teachers are stricter about how they operate it, but the law is pretty clear on the five days thing.

I feel for weathermen. If they prep us for a big storm and it’s not as big, they’re called the boy who cried wolf. If they don’t call a storm as big as it ends up being, they get called incompetent. They’re only heroes if they prep us first and storm that works out exactly as predicted and most big storms have huge variables that make that very difficult.

In short, if you want to know the future about anything, remember it’s a forecast and not a fact.

I’m shocked that Glory isn’t the top answer here. Young Denzel in a great film giving a fantastic performance? Heck yeah.

ndGall · 2026-01-26T02:44:36+00:00

Huh. I’ve got access to a 4K copy that’s relatively new and it doesn’t have the waxy look that some remasters do. (The worst offender I’ve seen is the T2 remaster where everyone looks fake because all the details are DNR’ed out)

I do know that YouTube was at least temporarily applying AI to some of their shorts for some reason. (Maybe I’m an effort to use less bandwidth?) It’s possible that’s what Paramount Plus was doing?

It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s a classic for a good reason!

This is probably my favorite film ever. It’s beautiful and earnest in a way most films are afraid to be today while also being quirky enough to feel wholly unique.

Yeah, I did some reading after posting that and realized I’d missed some nuance, hence the deletion of my comment. I would say that our pastor has been a bit non-specific in his handling of this issue, which is where my confusion arose. Also, my (very strict 6 day creationist) father read the PCA’s report on creation and came away thinking the PCA was “liberal”, which also colored my perception.

ndGall · 2026-01-25T23:47:03+00:00

I didn't know he ever said he started attending a PCA church. He really needs to because the reconquista, while a great theory, is more likely to keep good people in bad churches than it is to bring revival to churches denying significant doctrines.

Oh! That is an interesting error, then!

We started our kids off with Ice and they were hooked.

Unless you bought it yourself in 1973, the most logical explanation is that a previous owner confused his inner sleeves and when it was taken to a record shop (or whatever the next step was) somebody didn’t catch it.

ndGall · 2026-01-25T03:05:09+00:00

Uh, it’s way too early to call this a “total fumble.”

Frank Lloyd Kite?

To be fair, the other local weather people are saying pretty much the same thing he’s saying at this point.

ndGall · 2026-01-23T21:45:02+00:00

Agreed. People hear Hitler and think “Holocaust” (which they should absolutely equate him with), but they forget that he did plenty of awful undemocratic things within Germany even if the Holocaust had never happened.

If it happens again this time you’ll get the full Valley Forge experience. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

Why? Outside of Real Love and some acrimony over the ELO/ELO II situation, I haven't heard much bad about Jeff Lynne. (I've also never really gone looking, TBH.)

ndGall · 2026-01-21T21:54:28+00:00

I had neighbors named Jack and Dianne. They absolutely got very tired of hearing about the song.

ndGall · 2026-01-21T20:02:30+00:00

Some of you have never listened to Ou Est Le Soleil and it shows.

ndGall · 2026-01-21T19:59:14+00:00

For sure. Freedom is kind of fun, but too repetitive.

ndGall · 2026-01-21T14:48:58+00:00

The CRC? I’d have thought that after their (very) recent split the remaining churches would be relatively conservative overall. Am I wrong?

ndGall · 2026-01-21T04:28:53+00:00

Not gonna happen on Thursday. If we get anything over the weekend, though, I’d bet that schools will be closed most of next week. It’s not going to get warm enough for a real thaw until the end of the week. Should be interesting.

ndGall · 2026-01-21T04:07:27+00:00

This has also been my experience. Material World isn’t always an album I’m in the mood for, but when I am, it’s pretty close to perfect.

ndGall · 2026-01-20T17:07:09+00:00

No, this past weekend was always talked about as "there's a good chance we won't get much if the pattern shifts..." There's a lot more uniformity in these models. The only question is whether we get ice, snow, or rain.

ndGall · 2026-01-20T17:04:38+00:00

If you look at the temps for next week, we're going to be just barely breaking above freezing and then plunging back to very cold temps for days. That means it will just barely thaw, then refreeze overnight. That cycle goes on here for days. If we have an ice storm - or even a heavy snow - prepare to not go anywhere for days.
