  1. I mean, its a very difficult job, with shitty pay, no respect and now outright hostility and threats. Of course you are going to get shitty teachers. If we want good teachers, we are going to have to pay a lot more, give them support, training, continuing education, and as a society treat them with respect. Good luck with all that. Also, you aren't going to get rid of coaches teaching just so they an coach unless you get rid of sports in K-12. Lots of good luck with that. Anybody bagging on teachers should go sub for a week.
  2. Need a penny, take a penny. Need a quarter, get a job. Sign seen on the penny slush fund at a local restaurant.
  3. Does it work in moving vehicles as was promised?
  4. Need2cumm needs to get laid. UC Santa Barbara, how hard could it be?
  5. fafo little gruesome
  6. Same. Went at lunch. Nobody in line. Had four very polite olds helping me out. Took three minutes. Would have taken only two minutes except for the obligatory small town chit chat. Also, I'm working my way through the thread, repping all the voters, even slorch. Only made it to the second page so far.
  7. My apt complex had the type where you stacked 2 quarters in the horizontal hole, pushed in, quarters fell, and pulled back out. It was very easy to cut a piece of cardboard slightly larger than a quarter, cram that into the hole, and it worked. Back to pennies: Just yesterday, I was checking my brake pads. Two pennies stacked is almost exactly three millimeters. If your brake pads are thinner than 3 millimeters, time to replace them. Although nowadays, brake pads have wear marks, so not really necessary anymore, I guess.
  8. You are talking shit to a bot, bro.
  9. fixy
  10. Based on the novella "Who Goes There?" by John Campbell. Written in 1948(!) https://www.readanybook.com/online/656595
  11. Yet another example of youth being wasted on the young.
  12. Meteor!! Also acceptable: Giant Sinkhole!!
  13. This is exactly correct. These gambling sites can't risk all the money going one way, because then they could get fucked over really hard. They need the betting to be more or less even both ways, that way no matter who wins or loses, they get their vig. If all the money is going one way, then the hype needs to move to the other way to balance they betting.
  14. I'll have what this guy is having, unless its Chili's.
  15. ngl, I'd hit the right side version, with the lights on, sober.
  16. Friend of mine is an engineer and test driver for Bridgestone/Firestone. He says just buy the middle priced tires. Cheaper are cheaper, more expensive don't really get you anything more, its all just marketing.
  17. Comments are saying Black Racer. I cant confirm, but the racers in my area are definitely climbers and biters.
  18. Magnum Force is a great movie.
  19. Parents took me to see Jaws at the old drive in on Ben White, which was near the intersection with I-35, iirc. Movie came out in 75(I think?) so I was probably about 9. The Towering Inferno was the second movie, which actually scared me more for some reason. I remember a scene where an elevator opens and the fire bursts in and burns up all the people in the elevator. Also saw Smokey and the Bandit for the first time at that drive in. Any of you old timers remember that drive in? @Armybrat ?
  20. @Irish Wrist Watch I'd wait to trim until the leaves drop. Also, in your second pic, I'd cut both of those branches that join near the soil and go to the left completely off. Keep the main trunk. You probably want a "tree" and not a "bush". But wait for winter. However I'd also defer to @cactusflinthead, he seems to know more what he's talking about.
  21. not sure where to post this, might as well post here:
  22. If I rep this because I agree with the opinion, then that's two of us, which means it might not be an unpopular movie opinion, which means it shouldn't be in this thread, which means I should neg it. But I can't neg a post I don't like. Anyway, agree, Nolan' Batman films are overrated garbage.
  23. They are also: safer handle better more reliable easier to drive (power steering, back up cameras, power windows, etc) but 200% harder to fix. I have to take the goddamn air intake thingy off to put in a new battery on my truck. I had to take off that piece of shit plastic cover on the bottom of the car AND the pipe (or whatever its called) that connects the catalytic converter to the muffler to replace a starter on the beater econobox. What fucking engineer thought it was a good idea to put the starter on the bottom of the car?
