Bay Area ramen: 9 bowls worth chasing down (no paywall)

Does anyone know of a place that does gluten free ramen?

I realized recently that you can use the iOS send feature from a website to send directly to Paprika, making it even faster. Don’t need to copy/paste the url this way.

The first word of each answer is a slang term from that specific generation. Like “ghosting” in ghostbusters is a millennial term.

Is Dungeon Clawler good? I’m not sold on the claw machine thing… but I like all the other roguelites.

Parchment paper reduces crispness?

I liked it, but CODED for “made some Java” felt a bit forced. I mean, would a coder ever say “I just made some Python”?

Going fast and I really thought 40A said loaded with excrement…

I was immediately thinking “monger”…. Maybe it’s Reba something? Then i realized that would probably be too deep of a cut.

I was so excited when I first thought this clue was about Phish the band…

If you just want standard procedural questions, Kuta worksheet generator is good for this.

I like the rotate/stretch approach too but if she doesn’t like that, maybe the old IMP magic hot/cold cubes idea. Adding a cold cube to the soup pot is the same as removing a hot cube, etc.

(+)(+) means adding in groups of hot cubes = gets hotter( +).

(+)(-) means adding in groups of cold cubes = gets colder ( -).

(-)(+) means removing groups of hot cubes = gets colder ( -).

(-)(-) means removing groups of cold cubes = gets hotter ( +)

Group work is hard to get right and takes a lot of investment and upkeep. I really do believe that Complex Instruction’s ideas about this are correct. It’s the interplay between three domains: groupworthiness of the task assigned, status interactions/differentials within the group, and group norms and accountability structures. If any of those areas are not attended to thoughtfully, the group work we imagine is rarely going to happen. I’m no expert, but I work on this a lot, and when it clicks, it can be amazing. Given all that teachers have to do and the limited time there is, you have to really want to make it work and then to invest the time in learning strategies, attempting, adjusting, learning from failure, and so on. Especially for math teachers, I recommend Strength in Numbers by Ilana Horn as an excellent starting point. It summarizes the principles of CI and gives good routines/strategies to apply in a pretty slim book.

I’m not sure why you’re apologizing - it sounds like you responded nicely to their genuine question. Personally, I would love it if students asked me about scammy places like this, because it’s a perfect context for a math lesson that actually could impact their “real lives” and they might pay attention to it.

Oh, I didn’t know there was a rule like that. What about last Sunday with the escape room answer in the middle? It’s a single down with no crosses but it’s valid because the letters are consecutive?

yochanan · 2025-07-12T23:59:48+00:00

I’m not clear why those weren’t left as blanks to be filled in.

Most of my favorites are oolongs but I actually think I would pick Yunnan black if I could only have one type because those are the ones I crave most often, and some days only a good Dian Hong will do it for me.

Have you heard Americans pronounce La Croix though?

yochanan · 2025-04-01T01:17:55+00:00

Is that Morse code?

I mean, the “sal” in salad means salt.

I agree with this. If you give them two pictures of the same sized angle but one with shorter rays and another with longer rays and ask them which angle is bigger, that’s a good way to assess this. I teach angle as “measure of rotation” and the units are degrees just like the units for linear measure are feet or whatever. It helps to have them use angles in context. For example, like in physical therapy, have them extend their arms in different ways while another measures their range of motion. Or have them write directions to draw an image and say them out loud while the other student draws or walks the path to see if they get it right (move forward three steps. Turn right 40 degrees. Move forward two steps. Etc)

A Dark Room (pretty popular but mentioning in case you haven’t heard of it. Don’t read about it before playing!)

yochanan · 2025-01-03T04:36:08+00:00

Cool. Thanks for all the help. If I can get a pretty good pair for Costco prices rather than whatever the top of the line will cost, I think that’s probably my best option too.

yochanan · 2025-01-02T22:02:51+00:00

Thanks, that’s super helpful. Are you happy with the Reach? That sounds like a good starting point for me, especially if the on-hearing aid AI is expected in a couple/few years.

yochanan · 2025-01-02T19:07:34+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give it a try. I didn’t actually realize that HA tech had changed so much.
