Geonovast Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Bam. Bam And Bam. I should have taken more pictures, but everything's working perfectly, and temps are at least 15 degrees C cooler player KSP than they were. Tomorrow I'll re-do the cables and take'r home.

CatastrophicFailure Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Well, not today, but quite recently, we discovered that our beehive didn’t survive. Everything had been looking great until we got this extended February cold snap. There’s still snow on the ground in places, that just doesn’t happen here. When we opened the hive the other day to check it, we found a pitiful cluster of not-entirely-dead-yet cold-stupored bees on an empty frame, many of them still up to their little bee-butts in cells trying to lick the last dregs of honey from the bottom. Frustrating thing is, there was plenty of honey (and a mostly full feeder) in frames on either side, but when the cluster gets small enough and the weather cold enough, they just can’t cross between the frames.

If you love teaching, be a teacher. (But have a Plan B in case you don't.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking to make money, do something else. Edited March 5, 2019 by LordFerret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C: "They don't pay you nearly enough for the crap we have to deal with..." @adsii1970 This true? To be honest, it depends and let me explain to you why... Yes, being a teacher or any level of educator for that matter does not pay well. You'll never be regarded as an "expert" in your field or even be remembered for the hours you sacrifice of your own time to help your students. BUT... There is a huge reward when you see the spark hit a student - their "eureka" moment when something you've said has triggered something in their mind. For me, it happens at least twice a semester and sometimes it is the same student. Now that's very rewarding and no paycheck bonus could ever replace its value. If you're going into education to get rich, the money isn't there. If you're going into education to make a difference, then you'll be fine as long as you remember that not every student you have will ever have an "eureka" moment in their entire life. This semester I am teaching 173 students. I can safely expect to have five of those moments. And as I said, they make the lack of pay and all the crap you have to deal with worth it.

Geonovast Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 For the first time in 13 years of wearing contacts, I finally managed to actually tear one. Roughly 1.5mm in from the edge. This may have happened while I was wearing it. At least, I didn't see it when I put them in this morning, and it didn't start bothering me until after noon. I took it out, rinsed it, and actually stuck it back in since I for some reason don't have an emergency set in my desk at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
