  1. Since this thread doesn’t exist and Fort Worth is bigger than Austin… TEA takeover of FWISD proceeding. Summary: It’s not going to be like Houston and we won’t use scripted lessons. My own take is that Fort Worth was already close to scripted lessons with the district taking over lesson plans and slides at the beginning of this school year. Then they realized they didn’t have the staff downtown to keep up with it (and the outside consultants, I guess, had come up short), so they had to ask for volunteer teachers to help work on the curriculum at an hourly pay rate lower than the pay rate for the most experienced teachers.
  2. Just a note: I was very pleased with GoLL’s referral a couple of years ago.
  3. I get Peacock free from my Walmart+ account I get free from my Amex. I get HBOMax for free from my annual DoorDash account I get free from my Chase Sapphire. I get Paramount free from my 24/7 account. I also get like $30 per month towards my Disney+ bundle (ESPN and Hulu) from whatever credit card pays for it. I pay for Amazon Prime and $5 per month for Disney plus random subscriptions throughout the year for Crunchyroll or Netflix until my wife and I catch up on our shows. It’s possible to cut the list price a lot.
  4. At the beginning of college football season, I dropped YouTube for subscriptions to ESPN Unlimited in my Disney+ bundle and Fox Sports One or whatever it’s called. Saved tons of money.

    The Boys

    Gen V is now an integral part of The Boys’ plot.
  6. Which is more secure to use with a local municipality: a check with your account number or a credit card?
  7. I use Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, Apple Pay, Venmo, and Zelle. No problems. When I had my own business, I’d have the business CashApp in my email signature so people could gratuitously pay me if they were so inclined. (It happened a few times a year.) People won’t standardize. That’s why I have so many.
  8. I think you’re right, but it would have to display Orville-level writing to make it good.
  9. He will choose Patrick Rothfuss to finish it.
  10. I’ve had a bed fan for years. The blowback is nasty if you rip one.

    The Boys

    I’m caught up with The Boys to watch Gen V season 2. It’s not perfect because there are some adult YA elements, but it’s a better ensemble cast than The Boys. A more coherent storyline, too.
  12. It’s a good SF movie. Not a good Star Trek movie.
  13. Nice. I got TDAP and Covid in my left and flu in my right on Friday. Still feeling it two days later. Not as bad as yesterday, but not great.
  14. If any of us travel back in time, they should agree to print that thread to PDF.
  15. I use IOS 18.6 or .7 on both my iPad and IPhone. Maybe one problem on Surly in the last week or so where the Charlie Kirk thread in DT didn’t load. No other problems. iPhone’s a 15 pro max. iPad is an old pro that’s at least five years old.
  16. I stalled out on Fairy Tale somewhere between ep 120 and 150. Can’t imagine tackling One Piece, at least the anime.
  17. Well, have you seen any non-white characters in the alternate dimension?
  18. So Season 8 ended last week. When I didn’t get a new ep notification this morning, I had to pause. As a season finale, that hit like anhedonic premature ejaculation.
  19. In Season 7, we got a speaking version of Diane in the hole. Beth Prime says that her mother left Rick in one of the early seasons.
  20. With Evil Morty’s exit from the finite central curve, there is a predictable story arc of bringing in characters from outside the curve to further deconstruct the Rick myth and create new conflict. Based on this season, it might be an “evil” Summer. Maybe an “evil” Diane. (I’d guess the omega device only applied to the central finite curve. Rick Prime probably overstated its range.) Until the new conflict arises, we’re stuck with somewhat lame episodic writing.
  21. It got better as the episode progressed. I don’t know if it was because I watched it after 2 am, but it improved from incredibly stupid to funny.
  22. I’m not sure it is better than the one where the Beths hook up or Froopyland, but there are some really great moments.
  23. This ep was mostly boring. It had some good points, but it feels like they’re just going through the motions. Filler.
  24. Was recently surprised by Delicious in Dungeon. Sounds stupid, but it works because they take it seriously but not too serious.
