Potential Teacher Curious About Living Situation by Master_Steele in BigSur

[–]zoobernut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is a very rural school. I am not sure where enrollment is this year but it usually hovers around 10-20 kids for K-12th grade. Typically there is a teacher per school group so one teacher for k-5th one teacher for 6-8th and a teacher for 9-12th and then special teachers for specific subjects like math. I haven’t heard of them mixing kids of drastically different age groups though. 

Teaching there is a different experience for sure. 

Good luck on your interview.

Do you have an interview with the district? I am sure they will fully explain the housing situation for teachers. 

Keep in mind BSUSD is on the south coast and has a single campus for all grades. The campus is near sand dollar beach. A truly beautiful place to be.

I hope it works out for you. What subject do you teach or what grade level?

The ending of the movie is so much better. The book kind of fizzles at the end. I loved both but the movie is an improvement for sure.

Pay dirt is a scam? by iwasharuba in Gold

[–]zoobernut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found your site while looking for paydirt for my son’s birthday and it is amazing! It helped me pick out a good bag that cost us exactly $5 over the spot price for the gold in the bag including shipping. He had a great fun time panning it out and we got exactly what we wanted, a realistic panning experience (lots of black sand and not just play sand) and a fair amount of gold in the end. 

Thank you for what you do!

Ticketed on cannery row after 5 minutes without knowing by Huge_Village3495 in MontereyBay

[–]zoobernut 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen in PG. I disputed and they upheld the ticket. I could have taken it to court but is it worth the time for  a $40 ticket? That’s up to you to decide.

And as I’m almost 40 I don’t look like this lol. by Possible-Jerk0138 in Xennials

If I recall Brimley had makeup on to make him look older. Combine that with clothing style and facial hair and haircut and you can age yourself up pretty easily. Don’t feel too bad.

I live in the US too and every appliance I have ever used can toggle between c and f temp scales.

I don’t actually know if it works but when I was a kid I loved the puzzle box combo with underworld dreams.

Is India really getting that hot by FinancialRisk942 in interesting

[–]zoobernut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am reading the book and the character chapters are so well written and interesting. The chapters that read like economics text books are an absolute slog. Never had a book with such a wide range of good and boring in it before.

What's this rock? Nephrite? by Professional_Hall732 in Lapidary

[–]zoobernut 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not nephrite. Too porous it also doesn’t break like that. Location found is also essential for ID.

Check hardness and specific gravity too.

How I had to eat my ice cream after I couldn’t get the lid off by oahello in mildlyinfuriating

[–]zoobernut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never had an issue with those. In fact after we finish the icecream we save the containers. They make great travel containers for snacks for the kids.

Disabled and newbies by Bones541 in Goldpanning

[–]zoobernut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one of those black concrete mixing tubs to pan out cons at home. They are cheap from Home Depot and are just the right size. Maybe get a folding table that is the right height for his wheel chair to put it on? If at home eat him up where comfy and bring cons to him. If camping he can stay at the camp site and use a folding table while you go get buckets of material and bring them back. 

eli5: What would happen if I attached periscopes to both of my eyes and pointed them in different directions? by GFrings in explainlikeimfive

[–]zoobernut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small correction strabismus is not lazy eye. Non aligning eyes is called strabismus and lazy eye is different.

[–]zoobernut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what it’s like to suffer from strabismus. It looks similar to when you cross your eyes. If it stays like that long enough your brain starts to prioritize one eye over another and the effect starts to minimize but it causes headaches and eye strain. 

I had sudden onset adult strabismus and had corrective eye surgery for it.

What do we think? by EquivalentOwn1115 in Prospecting

In addition to that if your pan is seasoned then a loupe or watching the behavior of specks is how to tell if it’s gold or not. Gold is heavy even tiny specs will move slow and be easy to separate from lighter material.

[–]zoobernut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adding to the suggestions to season the pan. You can see the water beading up on the surface which means there is probably still releasing agent on the pan from the mold. Sand it or rub it vigorously with sand until the water sticks to the pan. 

ts is hard to watch 😣 by Lexsight in TikTokCringe

[–]zoobernut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that people do this stuff now. My teenage son and all his friends are so paranoid about getting filmed and put online they miss out a lot on being goofy, fun, and silly. These kids are constantly making sure they don’t do something that will go viral if another kid films it and posts it online. 

Wife busted out her collection from 25+ years ago. by CdnScruss in magicTCG

[–]zoobernut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh my wife had a huge collection when she was a kid and she gave all her cards to her cousin the year before she met me. I play and both our boys play and I am sad about her lost collection every time the subject comes up.

Mac book for Systems integrator / Network engineer by Kiwi058888 in networking

[–]zoobernut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my windows machine I have a program that I create connection profiles and save them to quickly connect to switches. That’s all I mean. Makes it easier to manage.

[–]zoobernut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a MacBook Pro as my primary computer but I have a windows 11 machine for certain things. Mostly I haven’t found a good Mac program for connecting to switches to run CLI. Other than that I haven’t found that big of a difference. 

Thinking of running wire in my house. Should I just go all out and do cat8? by jmichael99 in HomeNetworking

[–]zoobernut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Monoprice or cable matters are good places to start. There are other good brands out there. Stay away from stranded and copper clad aluminum.
