If you go to a small subway right at lunchtime and order 10 loving complicated sandwiches, without calling ahead or anything, I really want to feed you the curb with my boot and then set you on fire. Just fyi

I've weighed around 200lbs, give or take 10 or so, for the last decade. I'm 5'9" and stocky build so I can hide it fairly well but I know it's there and I've always been self conscious about the small gut I have.

Probably gonna start watching what I eat and drinking more fluids, I was doing well for a while and got down to 185 but that was a few months ago and the winter always puts me in a funk that makes it hard to stay on track.

I get the idea behind the number line and the "representations" of base 10 units and all, but I can't help but feel the real problem with math in schools is that kids just don't see the applications.

I would much rather kids do a cross-spectrum project curriculum than just tests.

Give the kids something like, we need to build a bridge and it needs to have these requirements. Now how do you figure out how much money you need to buy all this poo poo? Add it up. What do we need to remove to hit this budget? We need to write a proposal for that poo poo, how do you do formal writing?

Math is loving cool as all hell when you're using it for something. Just handing out arithmetic worksheets is the best way to burn out kids, regardless of whether those worksheets are about number lines, or base-10 blocks or whatever.

Quoted for loving truth. I absolutely hated math in school because it was super boring pointless the way they had us working through the same worksheets and tests with no "hey, this can be used to do X", especially algebra and stuff. It wasn't until I went to trade school where he had to apply equations and stuff that I realized just how loving awesome math really is.

If anyone lives near or finds themselves close to Charlottesville, VA (looking at you, Terrible Robot) you have to hike Humpback Rock. It was an incredible view and the hike up isn't technical but has some fun rock steps. It's also on Skyline Drive / Blue Ridge Parkway!





Skyline Drive:



I haven't hiked up there in probably 10 years, but it is a stunning place. When I was up there a C-130 flew over at maybe 100ft, got to watch it come up from the valley to clear the ridge. It was :black101: as gently caress.

Also, my daily commute has views nearly that good, because I drive up the mountain where skyline drive/blue ridge parkway is every day. :smug:

I wish I hadn't had to work this weekend, we could have grabbed some beers at one of the many local breweries.

Gave the pack to a coworker. Waste of $15 but I want to quit. Hopefully that wasn't too much of a setback.

Sweet tap-dancing christ, are packs really that expensive where you live? I quit because it was stupid and a waste of money and our packs only cost like $4-5 average.

Just saw a work truck with a little chalkboard taped up in the back window that said "Single Parenthood: the liberal disease that destroyed America"

Glad to know my mom helped to destroy this country by working 3 jobs and making sure I got a good education :thumbsup:

Can we just launch the nukes already? I'm getting tired of praying for a rogue meteor.

I always think I missed my calling by not dedicating myself to being a machinist, or a toolmaker or a prop maker or something. Instead I spent so much time trying to shoot for the stars and missing that I've ended up with little bits of conceptual knowledge over a million different subjects that's gotten me in a dead end job that offers zero fulfillment.

This is so true it hurts, gently caress.





I'm tired of my Archer avatar, could somebody please whip me up a nice gif from Mad Max? Any scene with a car exploding will do, or if it's possible to do a gif that fits in the size limits, one of the war-boy jumping off the back of the truck onto the pursuing raider.

In my experience the published start time of the movie is when the 20+ minutes of "coming attractions" previews start playing.

Yup, when I saw it on Saturday the listed show time was 10:10. Sat down at 10:22 and still had to watch 5 minutes of commercials before the movie started.

Ahh, it kind of sucks, I have a hard time understanding when there's a lot of noise in the background, which is why I suck at phone calls sometimes too

The theater you saw it at must have had hosed up sound mixing, even in the hectic action scenes I didn't have much trouble hearing the lines, and I have the same hearing issue as you; background noise usually completely overrides my hearing and voices get lost easily.

Hopefully my budget doesn't go to poo poo and I can pick up the ND + a Grom or Symba this year.

Someone that works in the library/IT department at work rides a white Grom to work occasionally, I always make extra trips to that building when they do to eyefuck it. They're so adorable looking :3: , it's like the bike version of a Miata.
