    I had a student who told me her and her family were going to Europe on vacation and asked to take the exam when she returned. This was in October. I told her no as taking a vacation during the school year isn’t an excused absence in my class. She whined about how that was the time where the tickets were the cheapest so it was the only time they could book. I said “was it really THE ONLY TIME you could book? You don’t get special treatment because you consciously chose to take a vacation during the school year. You have to accept responsibility for your actions, that’s how life works.”

    Ultimately, I let her make up her exam but with a 50% late penalty attached to the final grade. She made a 23. She dropped the class a week later. 

    Yeah fuck that in college. You get the whole schedule at the start of the semester or quarter - plan accordingly.

    Now grade school? Big fucking deal. We took our kids to Disney the week after MLK because it was cheap while in grade school. They also had good grades and we communicated with the teachers to make sure they were in the loop. 

    Once they got to middle school that had to stop and we got to pay the big bucks like everyone else.

  2. 5th place Barrow took the L today so they remain 6 points back. If Wrexham can win tomorrow they'll be in very good shape to get promotion.

    Chesterfield - the team Notts beat to earn promotion last year - ran away with the National League this season and locked up the title about a week ago.

    This.  Using the stock as collateral is not a play -- nobody will accept a meme-stock as collateral.

    THIS is the play.  It's just a classic money-laundering plan to get around campaign finance laws.  Truth Social Board waives the restriction on DJT selling his stock.  He sells it all to Yass at its currently inflated price, with the result being that Yass just gave DJT a few billion dollars for some stock that is ACTUALLY worthless, but on paper, he'll claim was an arms-length transaction for value.  And the result of that will be that Yass will have full legal title and ownership in the next President of the United States.

    This was always going to happen.

    He's not going to rip off Yass (because Yass won't go for it - he's already done his part). Yass isn't going to lose billions for him (he's greedy first; not MAGA first).

    Trump will dump his shares and wipe out the MAGA suckers who bought the stock.

  4. After Jerrah's "ALL IN" fiasco I'm looking forward to the Cowboys doing something that will make Cowboy fans scratch their heads and the rest of us laugh our asses off.

    So, isn't he going to be able to get a loan on his stock now that's he's actually a billionaire on paper?

    nobody's accepting that pink sheet shit as collateral. he's either got to produce cash or sell his shit.

    It’s been two seasons, not three, and he played banged up this year 

    My point is his 40 time doesn’t matter because he doesn’t use it, probably because he’d get hurt if he did 

    No argument on the 40. 

    the guys people should worry about getting injured are Daniels and McCarthy because they are freaking twigs.

    How many total games has he missed in college ball?

    He missed a lot early on in his career. That's a fact.

    However, 

    IT'S BEEN THREE FUCKING YEARS.

    He's started 28 consecutive games since. 

    Someone compared his career to Frank Gore - who tore both ACLs at Miami, was drafted in the 3rd round, then went on to rush for 16,000 yards and will be likely elected into the hall of fame once eligible (2026). 

    I really wish he really was "always injured" because then he wouldn't have torched our asses two years in a row!

  8. BTW for those who don't follow soccer you'll be interested to learn that Brazil and Mexico will be playing a friendly at Kyle Field in June. 

    Good chance we get our esteemed Texas politicians and aggy up in arms over that...
