So teachers must never share any details about their personal lives and only ever speak about books?
One would think that reflection of the impact of literature on ones personal life is an important part of analysis.
Also that teachers should be fully and authentically present for their students, not just glorified YouTube lectures.

This article feels like it was written by an old man yelling at clouds. "... Back in my day we smoked mid and we liked it" shakes fist and then uses it as a reason to go back to prohibition. Why can't we just make it legal and let the free market figure it out.
Turns out more THC for the buck means people can make a few months supply of edibles out of a few grams. Cost effective!

I like it pretty tart. I keep a bottle of honey simple syrup in the fridge, and I'll add a few drops if needed. I would say it's more tart than you'd get in the store.
The last pour of a 1L bottle though will have all the settled bits from the fruit, and that can be so sweet it's more like a juice. That is extra yummy.
A small bottle of buch with fresh raspberries for flavor. Brewed it in a 3.5gal jug, then transferred into 1L bottle for secondary ferment with the berries

An opinion that ignores all actual research.
Gender affirming surgery helps 99% of people who receive it! So sure, technically, there's a tiny minority who regret it. More people regret Lasik and boob jobs, should we ban those too? Many people regret a night out drinking, how about we ban that too. Drinking causes way more harm than giving estrogen or testosterone pills to folks.
On the other hand, I like that my friends have the freedom to express themselves any way they want. They aren't hurting anyone so let's let them be free to wear whatever clothes they want and take whatever hormones they want.
So join the side of American freedom and let's stop policing what clothes people wear or what name they use.

When I first learned to bake bread and pizza.
Five years later I was 60lb/27kg heavier and needed to go on keto to break the bread habit. Sigh. Took me almost as long to lose an the weight, but I've kept it off now for almost ten years!

I've been in charge of hiring a few jobs now and I make sure to not care about any of the typical signals when interviewing. I tell recruiters and candidates alike that I'd "hire three raccoons in a trenchcoat if they could turn requirements into working code".
I've hired quite a few folks who didn't fit the typical mold, because they could write some sweet code. Who cares about eye contact, I want honest, hard working problem-solvers.
The biggest thing my less social folks struggle with (for anyone curious) is requirements gathering. That often takes interviews and repeated interactions with customers. But it's a skill like any other. Practice brings improvement!

I know a Thomas too! He's the straight cis eye of a queer hurricane. And it wasn't always this way, he just keeps pulling folks into his massive orbit. Folks who later realize they are queer. He never brings it up or even seems to notice.
I finally realized what's going on and it's just a little weird. Like, what the hell is going on? Do my friends even have free will?! Do I?!
I conclude that Thomas has such a pure heart and loves so freely that he innervates people with restless souls. They/we are drawn to this vibe like planets in his solar orbit.
I should write him a poem about this
Thomas' pure heart
Orbit for expanding souls

Just run the numbers before you do. It restarts the amortization schedule, which depending on how long you've had it and what the fees will be could mean it's significantly worse to refinance.
People think 5% is just a flat 5% a year, when it's all front loaded. So it's might be more like 5% interest the first year, but then by year 10 you've already paid almost half of all the interest you will pay.
Add on the extra fees, and it might be better to just keep the existing mortgage.
Just be sure to run the numbers first is all.

Oh yeah, all my code is dotnet core running on Ubuntu servers in docker.
Just all this legacy code is written in dotnet framework which doesn't run on Linux, and requires some moderate effort to switch (relies on libraries that are framework, and those also rely on framework libraries, etc)
It's completely possible, but for now, I've got these 2022 servers running "good enough" to go to production, and I'll convert them as soon as the first issue arises.

Yeah, TBF I was really just making a snarky dig at the misogyny in the evangelical world.
I can immediately think of a counter example: the Golden Compass. It's written by a man, but basically takes the stance that the devil is the good guy and has a main character whose best skill is the ability to lie so well she can pretty much always get what she wants. The church equivalent abuses children and looks the other way about it when confronted 💀
Unsurprisingly that series isn't too popular among fundies

I listened to it while lifting, and now every time I lift while listening to something else I'm like "ugh this book is fine but it's no Silmarillion"
I've listened to dozens of great books at the gym, but there's only two I've wanted to listen to a second time: Silmarillion and Norse Mythology by Neil Gaimon
There's just such a vibe to those books. The stories are short, but they feel ancient. I feel rooted when I listen to them.
That and when I'm trying to fall asleep and it's winter. I'm cozy and feeling the hygge. I've got my warm drink and blankets and I want a bedtime story of how Morgoth was cast down

I'm playing it for the first time and it's so good but that game sure knows how to get my blood pressure up! By the end of the wind level you could see my fingerprints crushed into my controller. And then they hit me with the breathing game and I melted into a puddle of feels

We're living in a golden age of indie games! I've been loving games like:
- Celeste
- Manor Lords
- Predecessor
- Fire watch
- What remains of Edith Finch
- Curse of the Golden Idol
- Cuphead
- Stardew Valley
- Luck be a Landlord
- Return of the Obra Din
If you want good bigger budget games there's still great options like:
- Elden Ring
- Stellaris
- Palworld
- Balders Gate 3
- Deep Rock Galactic

A phone wallpaper from the game Celeste where the main character has a panic attack and you have to help her use her breath to float a feather in the air. How is this game both so good and so hard?!
A screenshot from the game Celeste when the main character has a panic attack and you have to help her float a feather with her breath. Truly a remarkable game. Keep breathing
I love the way the light plays on the scene, and the workers taking a rest break under the shadow of a majestic peak. Such an epic scene! A fun local legend of how it was built: The people of Uri recruited the Devil for the difficult task of building the bridge. The Devil requested to receive the first thing to pass the bridge in exchange for his help. To trick the Devil, who expected to receive the soul of the first man to pass the bridge, the people of Uri sent across a dog by throwing a piece of bread, and the dog was promptly torn to pieces by the Devil. Enraged at having been tricked the Devil went to fetch a large rock to smash the bridge, but, carrying the rock back to the bridge, he came across a holy man who "scolded him" (der ihn bescholten) and forced him to drop the rock, which could still be seen on the path below Göschenen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%B6llenen_Gorge#

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimbo The word bimbo derives from the Italian bimbo, a masculine-gender term that means "little or baby boy" or "young (male) child" (the feminine form of the Italian word is bimba). As bimbo began to be used increasingly for females, exclusively male variations of the word began to surface, like mimbo and himbo, a backformation of bimbo, which refers to an unintelligent, but attractive, man.
