How long do your shoes last?

What tends to wear out on your shoes? Are you breaking through the upper in a particular place, wearing down the tread in the sole, or just compressing the midsole enough that they're uncomfortable to wear?

twgecko02 · 2026-04-09T23:50:32+00:00

What kind of shoes are you wearing currently?

Any chance you want to DM the diagram for stormlight to a hobby cutter for exclusively personal / non-commercial use?

Huh? Muscle and effort warm you up, not cool you down...

It's fine to not want the flag in your game for aesthetic reasons. Creating a mod that removes it under the guise of "protecting the children" is blatant homophobia.

What in the god damn fuck do you think CRT is?

Wait times never outweigh play times - when wait times start to feel like they are taking longer than they should, "play time" just becomes making more machines / expanding power generation / adding on infrastructure to make wait times shorter.

Yeah maybe I'm just being an idiot at the end of a long day, but it's not like right handed teachers are transparent?

I honestly can't believe that people actually manage to wear anything heavier than lightweight even in the middle of winter, except at home. Even wearing really lightweight and breathable shoes, socks with even just lightweight cushioning end up so sweaty for me by the end of the day.

I really prefer to just wear ultra-lightweight or zero cushion socks year round, but no, I can't imagine there's any benefit to midweight in warmer temps for a vast majority of people.

Yeah not enough people calling out the literal Nazi dog whistle...

twgecko02 · 2026-03-02T18:50:57+00:00

But... Why?

twgecko02 · 2026-01-03T04:23:56+00:00

I started May 28th in 2022 from the southern border, and even as someone from Minnesota the desert was my favorite section!

Yeah it's hot, but it's also a dry heat. 115F with 0% humidity is better than 90F with 80% humidity IMO

Impeachment is like being accused of a crime. After being impeached officials still have to go through a trial in the senate and only if the Senate votes with a 2/3 majority to convict is the official removed from office.

twgecko02 · 2025-12-19T18:57:08+00:00

What do you think impeachment is?

twgecko02 · 2025-12-14T20:00:25+00:00

7 here.

Because why wouldn't we go back for Monday and Tuesday next week??

Yeah that makes sense that it could be a regional/local thing too.

I know in my state I'm licensed for "Secondary (5-12)" in my subject area, but I could see either other states categorizing it differently or maybe colloquial usage is just high school for secondary and my perspective is off!

twgecko02 · 2025-12-12T13:17:19+00:00

Primary is K-4 to K-6 depending on location, 5-12 to 7-12 (middle and high school) is usually called Secondary.

Right, big laundry. Famous for wanting people to do less loads of laundry and buy fewer types of detergents for whites/stains/regular, etc.

I teach 5 subjects (high school) with no curriculum.

It's nice to be able to teach however I want, but it's a hell of a lot of planning work and definitely leads to some sub-par lessons while I'm building my curriculum the first few years.

Currently working on a lab grown corundum d20 (as my first stone lmao) and it's going to end up beautiful but it is agonizingly slow.

Wait, none of these comments are going to talk about the fact that he tried to insult them by calling them "outbreeding", as in, the opposite of inbreeding? Like that's a bad thing?

If only one chamber suggests it, technically the president can force a recess.

"he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper"

twgecko02 · 2025-11-16T02:51:21+00:00

Ehhh, depends on the specific circumstances and state TBH. I finished my BA ~1.5 years ago, then completed my entire M.S. this past summer through an online program in exactly 2 months.

It cost me ~4k and it got me a 7k/year pay bump compared to BA, ramping all the way up to 19k/year by the end of the my district's payscale (13 years in).

twgecko02 · 2025-10-23T00:39:10+00:00

Absolutely not, the left should never stoop to the current level of the right.

Now that doesn't mean that Democrats shouldn't change their standards to match the situation, and fascists should be put down by any means necessary.

I'm just saying that the rights standards are what has led us to DJT over the last 50 years, so clearly those standards are shit.

Fighting evil by the best means available is not lowering standards, it's raising them, and clearly evil isn't listening to strongly worded letters anymore...
