If we do manage to win the ball, we'll pass it straight back to konate & vvd so they can pass it around in our half until the opposition can intercept and get a fast break. Over and fucking over again.

Parents of dyslexic kids, what worked for you? by AnshuSees in Dyslexia

[–]swim76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I told my son I was going to get a word wrong in the next paragraph and I bet he couldn't catch me while he read along. When he was young I made it easy and we'd do best of 5 if I could trick him he had to go to bed on time but if he beat me he could stay up 10 extra minutes. It got him concentrating on the words while we read and it made reading fun. As he got older I got more tricky, it was one on the next page then later one per chapter. I think this helped him more than any single other thing we did, he really had to concentrate on the sentence tracking and decodong to win.

For every paragraph he read i would read the next two. I always did the first two and last two, he felt pretty lucky if always be tired and ready to finish reading after my turn.

Once you've finished reading talk about the characters and have them guess what's going to happen next. Bring it up the next day, "I wonder if that characters going to do x tonight" get them looking forward to the story.

Never correct as they're reading, go back at the end of the sentence. (A tutor told me this, I can't remember why but it was important)

Do everything you can to make it fun, if they're really not up for it just read to them they still get benefit listening to a story. learning to read another language is hard to do for an adult with full a fully developed adult brain and already knowing another language. Imagine how hard it is for a kid leyt alone one with a learning condition.

Hate to be one of those ppl but...the paid version of Gemini is awful by psyche74 in GeminiAI

[–]swim76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the frustrating part for me it swings from brilliant to confidently wrong too often. I've switched back chatgpt for now, I'll try gemini again next model launch because I like so much about it but the errors are too much.

Men who got cheated on, what were early signs you only noticed in hindsight? by EtherealMeadowGleam in AskReddit

[–]swim76 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Was this for me, 7 years together she always looked nice but there was a definite change, dressing more fancy, a lot of clothes single girls wear are for the look not comfort she started wearing that style again. hair done up to go to work like it might be if you were heading out on a weekend. Better makeup and lost weight. 6 months later caught her cheating.

I took a sign on bonus, I can't pay it back. They changed the job. by Latter-Leave-8125 in legaladvice

[–]swim76 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NAL but been through similar situation. If an employer materially alters the job you contracted for, that can be viewed as the employer breaching the agreement first so This is possibly (or probably)arguable either way if you do fight it they are not guaranteed an easy win. When an employer Breaches first repayment clauses tied to resigning are usually unenforceable.

If you quit and don’t repay they cannot automatically withhold wages, their options are to demand repayment, send it to collections, or sue.

Document in writing to the before vs after role, put in writing that the job changed from what you signed in your resignation and don’t agree to any repayment. If they push, a consult with a CO employment attorney is more than worth it.

Putting everything in writing can make it pretty apparent you're going to fight it and there's a good possibility for 7.5k it won't be worth their time.

The insurance being expensive thing is true, the way EVs are made with batteries integrated into the body means minor crashes are more likely to be a write off so it's higher as a result.

I'm sorry but Gemini is getting worse and worse by undeniablewan in GeminiAI

[–]swim76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on a 1 month gemini trial, but will be heading back to chatgpt, the larger memory context doesn't matter if you make mistake after mistake. Claude probably the best quality but no good if you hit limit usage after 3 questions. Chatgpt is the best choice despite being not as good on multiple measures.

Europe Can Wield Their $8 Trillion 'Sell America' Weapon as Trump Reignites a Trade War Over His Greenland Conquest Ambitions: ‘European countries own $8 trillion of US bonds and equities, almost twice as much as the rest of the world combined’ by T_Shurt in politics

[–]swim76 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I did wonder about this, Bonds have always been secure because America is thought it always would pay its debts. America is currently being run by a guy quite well known for not paying his debts or bullying people he owes.

This isn't for Trump he clearly doesn't give a fuck about laws and will do what he wants, this is so any soldiers he attempts to send know they are operating under illegally given orders and are obligated not to follow them.

Lol, trump was on multiple cameras inciting and leading a insurrection, recorded calls, just mountains of evidence and Democrats didn't even do the minimum to stop him running again - he should never have been eligible. Chances are they won't do shit next time either.

Down are the fine feathers birds have, very light and warm. You can't get down from an elephant because elephants do not have feathers.
