They're expected to have complete control of the students and are held responsible like they have complete control. How the hell else are they supposed to act? I genuinely don't blame the schools here. I blame every single person

Fun fact, vape detectors are bypassed by blowing through a sweatshirt or hoody, or by running hot water in the sink.

I joined the Lions about three years ago. Our local chapter was defunct, so I got it going again. Now we have about 40 members (for a town of 500, that's pretty damn good). We get together to do volunteer and fund raising events. But m

Old people love coffee late in the day. Grandpa used to wake up at about 2 in the morning to pee, and would have a cup of coffee before going right back to sleep. So maybe the effects nullify after a certain point?

People are getting chickens because they think it'll be cheaper than store bought eggs. Spoiler: it is not. About two years later, they don't want the things anymore because they're expensive in small flocks with no forage, a

You're not supposed to take work personally. That is a lesson that I've been taught many, many, many times over the years. I've been told that within the last 24 hours. So why is it a surprise that, when employees are not sup

It's about telling the truth while being an actual human. When I had to lay people off the first time, we had very clear criteria for the layoffs and published them. Anyone who was obviously trying to game the system was immediately di

I'm kind of with you. I like oddball narration, but only if it's funny or entertaining. This is neither, I'm afraid. I'm not sure what I'm missing.

The Savannah Bananas do that. You have to enter a lottery to buy tickets. And if your ID doesn't match the ticket, you don't get in. It's successful in keeping tickets in the hands of families and fans instead of resale.

Yes, this is policing. It's easier to hassle normal people who won't be a problem. In my area, the police are all over teenagers for loitering in parking lots on the weekends, but do nothing about the very obvious drug dealers in

Grant writing. I've done that for years. It's using your writing and analysis skills. Again, not the next great novel, but it does afford you the opportunity and income to write in your spare time, while doing a job that isn'

What small town even has a bus? The closest bus line to me is in the closest large town (40k) about an hour away. Are there bus lines in the middle of nowhere?

Two decimal places is a shit ton of precision though. A one inch gap is immense compared to a .01 inch gap.

So the increase was to buy spray equipment to attach to a helicopter. And a helicopter. One of the co-op ex-board members' son recently moved back to the area and had his license. . . It was a shameless cash grab by that family and was

That's a really good idea. At least it would give me a chuckle while grading. Every sentence should reference mustard. Draw parallels between this assignment and stalinist Russia. This assignment must rhyme.
