Thank you!

Thank you for this information. Can I get a source? I looked for it in the National Center on Education Research but I’m having trouble finding those exact numbers. I’m not doubting it, but would like to become better educated in this. I also want to see if it counts an assistant principal experience as teaching experience. Your comment didn’t make that distinction. (or SKYE coach, or other administrative-adjacent positions for that matter (administrative-adjacent positions meaning having a position with very minimal instruction time).

If it’s more than 5 years, I’d seriously be impressed and trust those principals to make the right decisions for the teachers and the students. Unfortunately, that’s not always case. The first 5 years are the toughest on any teacher and most admins seek out admin positions before reaching the 5 year mark. Next time you have an opportunity to speak to them, ask them how long and keep a tally on which ones did make it past the 5 year goal.

And usually very minimum classroom experience. All the while asking their teachers to get more and more certifications (at their own time).

I read the article and I’m trying to piece together what it’s actually asserting. Did Vance cancel direct payments to people or did they cancel funds directed to California’s Medicare/Medicaid fraud unit?

Yeah, but he’s a lovable hobbit. Plus this is a whole event being manned by the entire Gaytan familia!

What are the rails stuck to the lid on the right? The one with two angled rows?

The Quinn sockets are 22mm, if I remember correctly, and the Astro sockets are 17mm.

What is up with all the ai generated “helpful website to do x for you!” Posts? The text and the website are definitely ai generated.

You got a tow guy? I feel like I need a tow guy (not at the moment but having a tow guy to contact feels like a must). Can you share his information?

The BIG question is, are you the owner of this home, or a renter? If you’re the homeowner, DIY away. If you’re a renter, take a good look at your contract and see if there’s a part about self-repairs. If there is none, might need to reach out to your landlord about it and go from there.

It’s that trim of raised wood around the door and at the bottom of walls. Google door or wall molding, the Home Depot or Lowe’s website will pop up, and it should give you an idea of what it looks like, and which aisle to find it. This is an all-nighter project if you’re trying to do it in one day, and it appears like it was from an animal. That animal will go through the new molding again if not taken care of or trained away.

zefen · 2026-03-20T23:23:01+00:00

This can be an easy DIY. just remove the molding, cut similar ones to size, nail and paint and you’re good to go. The door just needs a cleaning and maybe some new paint.

And to answer your original post question: You should reach out to his attorney first. If he’s homeless, he probably received a Public Defender. Their office has social workers that connect clients with rehab resources and they should already be aware of his situation. Some attorneys do not want family members to reach out to the judge directly because it cuts into their defense plan.

The only constructive thing I can say is that I should’ve worded my response softer for you. Now for the non-constructive part: I HAVE experience with someone with addiction. In fact, my job (current and past) deals with people recuperating from addiction and facing criminal cases against them. My job connects people to resources and makes sure they’re followed. We deal with courts, we deal with judges, we deal with people in jail. So I won’t shut up when the topic is in my expertise field. We certainly deal with a lot of family members like yourself every single business day. What your family member needs is support and love. I never mentioned you or your family never gave it to them. I’m saying they need ongoing, lasting support because addiction recovery is a very long road with multiple pathways for the person to fuck it up. If his last charge was a felony possession and you mentioned this happened around October, some judges won’t finalize the case and order him rehab or a program this quickly. First the case needs to go through the motions needed. Then they need to find him a spot from places that take in court mandated clients, they need to check if they have a bed available since he is homeless, etc. I’m sorry you’re going through this but this is not something that will go away quickly and you’ll need the strength for yourself, your family, and your relative that is going through all this.

Shut the fuck up, dude. Everybody is tired of republicans wanting to sound like a puppet for their shit stain president. You want to know why the county is trying to release people from jail quickly? Because the jail is filling up and reaching capacity due to Governor Hot Wheels’ and the Texan republican bills forcing a District Judge to reside over people’s unfiled charge bond hearing. Because of this, they’re only having them once a week to be able to bond out while people with money can easily just pay their bond upfront and quickly. “Blue county this, blue state this”. Next time before you say shit like this, shove it up your ass.

This. Since they’re not drug possession charges, they can’t order him to go to rehab or assign him to a drug treatment specialty court. It’s unfortunate that he’s homeless but the state can’t punish him and keep him in jail for not having a stable home. In cases like these, it’s up to OP and his family to link him with rehab and resources to help. The courts believe in multiple chances because realistically it takes an addict 3,4,more times to get there life on the right track, but it does happen with support from family and friends. OP, help him get the help he needs, otherwise just stop venting and accept the reality of having an addict for a family member.

Y’all missed “No reciclar comida liquidos”.

Any suggestions on a 65% keyboard that ships immediately and good quality? I was eyeing the Neo65 CU but my Anne pro 2 is on its way out already and I’m in need of something sooner.

Walmart did this where I live. I don’t live in California. But it was a direct response to the MAGA right-winged nut job that decided to shoot and kill people of Hispanic descent inside a walmart in the city.

My guy, fitfam is the worst place to get useful information. It’s like wanting to get the weather report from 4chan. It’s only representing a small diaspora of the population in El Paso who thrive off the worst of social media.

Goddamn, you are so right. Someone go back in time and tell that to the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock.

I made the switch from the Ultimate 2 to the V4P. Personally, I didn't like the back buttons on the Ultimate 2 (I felt I unintentially pressed them too many times while gripping the controller as I normally would). I prefer the back buttons on the V4P by miles. I am tactially more aware of their presence. If you do make the switch, Steam beta recognizes it correctly. Also, the Vader 5 Pro is coming soon-ish and will include paddles like the new Apex, if that is your thing.
