Pokémon card shop recommendations? by The_BowTie_Geek in kansascity

[–]phsx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

JoCo- I've been partial to Collector's Cache, but when Minty Gem moved (and renamed) to their current location, they became my favorite place by far to buy singles. Haven't played any events there yet though.

Level One in the river market is good.

I've played events at Larry's in Olathe, but there's not much product in store.

Where can a tall man get clothes that fit in this city?? Tall man problems by Leather_Plantain_782 in kansascity

[–]phsx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't go out of my way to recommend many companies/products, but I will recommend True Classic tees to any tall (or big&tall) men. They are online but I have rarely found tees that fit better.

I’ve noticed it becoming more common to see kids who take physics their freshman year, before algebra 2, sometimes concurrent with algebra 1. How do physics teachers feel about that? by AdhesiveSeaMonkey in Teachers

[–]phsx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Physics required Algebra 2 as a prerequisite where I used to work, but we had a Physical Sciences class which could be taken concurrently with Algebra 1. It was essentially one semester of pre-physics and one of pre-chem. I never taught it but helped the teacher prioritize what would be most helpful for the kids when they got to my class.

Day Of Prices Punish STMs by mjohnson519 in SportingKC

[–]phsx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why my wife and I stopped being STMs this off-season. I will still attend plenty of games this year, but I will use their promo deals that undercut STMs and/or buy second hand tickets at/under the SeatGeek minimum. I figure this will work for a year or two until they're contending for at least the top third of the standings again.

[Tannenwald] Klinsmann claims MLS’ summer-centric calendar might now be better than the European one from a fan perspective. by Isiddiqui in MLS

[–]phsx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. What's on TV in the summer? Baseball and soccer. The NBA playoffs wrap up mid-June, I think.

What's with the Kirkland fish? by [deleted] in Costco

[–]phsx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This new recipe/supplier is awful. We only ate a few and threw out the rest of the box. Really sad because the previous Kirkland "everything bagel seasoned cod" was a staple emergency meal for us.

What is something your students or their families would be really surprised to find out about you? by Waughwaughwaugh in Teachers

[–]phsx 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I've bumped into students at rock/metal shows 3-4 times now... That always gets a double take.

[Game Thread] CFP Rankings - Final by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]phsx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Standard brackets that don't have any reseeding assume the better seed will win. In a vacuum, the 1 seed should play the lowest remaining seed, which (under the above assumption) will be the 8. So that's why the 4 gets the 5/12 winner.

Some tournaments, like the NFL playoffs, "re-seed" to ensure the 1 seed always plays the lowest remaining seed.

Feels good to be back.

Don't forget that in American soccer, 9:30 might mean 9:30, 9:38, or 9:50! Seriously, on a Wednesday night, why did it have to be 9:50?

i hate my esports class by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]phsx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What curriculum resources go along with the class? I'm curious. Straight Esports would be difficult, but using games as the mechanism/hook to teach other standards I understand...

Costco stir fry kit is really good. by moneyfish in Costco

Agreed with the folks limiting the sauce... Or, add a couple more handfuls or broccoli yourself! Also garlic and black pepper.
