‘It is not illegal to teach drunk’: Charges dropped against 2nd grade teacher accused of being intoxicated in class
  • Yeah, whether or not they are fired, because it is certainly unprofessional behavior, it isnt criminal. Unless you count that they were somehow putting the children in direct danger, but that probably isn't the case for a geography or math teacher. Drunk woodshop teacher, maybe?

  • Ask me for help, never respond to my questions, then complain when the issue doesn't get resolved
  • Just document, document, document. Cover your own ass. If they don't get back to you through teams or email, document that you asked for time they are available for you to assist but never heard back. If you do decided to go walk to their desk and they are either unavailable or working from home, document that you attempted. This way it becomes their problem or their manager's problem if they complain about it.

  • Michigan middle school coach allegedly choked student with shirt in incident caught on surveillance video - ABC News
  • Yes. Assault is a legal term. Even if it is on video, if there is an open case in court about this incident they need to phrase it that way. The quotation marks aren't scare quotes, this is part of what the family's attorney, Jordan Vahdat, said. Probably deconstructed from a sentence like "and we are seeking to file for assault charges against the formerly trusted coach", because trusted coach was also in quotes.

    The assault absolutely took place, and the article never infers that it didn't.

  • Michigan middle school coach allegedly choked student with shirt in incident caught on surveillance video - ABC News
  • Yeah, not sure if we read the same article. It definitely uses media safe terms like allegedly, but only on actions that would be legal definitions of crimes. After that it refers to it as "the incident" (and not as "the alleged incident"). They never hedge around whether the attack happened, and the rest of the article even strongly takes the side of the family. I see nothing that makes it seem like the news agency likes or is siding with the ex-coach.

    I guess maybe taking all of the "allegedly" and "appears to" at face value you could get the impression of them being dodgy, but it's just how they have to report it until facts are discovered in a trial. Actually, they even later quote the family's attorney calling it a "horrific assault and battery", no "allegedly" in sight, because it was a quote referencing what was being investigated.

  • They never said that there aren't trans vegans, they said that they have witnessed a subset of vegans spouting transphobia online with claims from those same vegans that hormone therapies weren't vegan. They did not make a claim one way or the other about it themself.

  • Ah yes, organization.
  • So I understand the first one, if you don't want an app open handling them. I still usually just open email or calendars when I want to check them, and close the tab again after, but also don't have a job that requires me to constantly monitor them.

    The second point I guess I do as well in short term, but more whatever I am actively, currently try working on. I've never needed a long term organization for that, though, since it was always more like having several loose leaf papers spread on my desk and less like putting multiple bookmarks in a book and coming back to it over several hours or days. If there's no need to use it in the next 20 minutes or so, I just bookmark and close it.

    The third I just really don't grok. Maybe I just really need a tidy browser workspace, but I usually have one, maybe two tabs open at a time when I'm not actively using them and referencing between them. I dont have any tabs that can be forgotten, because I close them immediately after I use them and no longer need them right now.

    I guess it is no different than having bookmarks for everything, except I can hide those. I just hate the "look" of a bunch of tabs open (as a personal preference).

  • Ah yes, organization.
  • So genuine question, what are the benefits or reasons for having multiple tables open rather than saving as bookmarks or links? It just doesn't make any sense to me but seems to be pretty common for people to do any more and I want to understand

  • Help with next upgrade
  • Pretty sure that motherboard is only gen 3 pcie, so you aren't getting full potential of your gpu. Bumping to a b520/b550 would help there.

    16gb of ram is fine, but 32gb would likely work better with newer games.

    I'd invest in a better power supply down the line. At least something gold+ is my usual recommendation.

    CPU should be fine, even with the most modern games. Cooler is a beast. GPU is a little on the lower side of you're looking at 1440 resolution, but should be golden for 1080.

    The motherboard is by far the weakest point, and is likely holding back other parts of the build already.

  • It's a game that's meant to be played multiple times, since you can't experience everything in one playthrough. I agree it can be frustrating when something gets locked out as easily as a failed roll, and that often causes choice paralysis in myself while I play, but you need to go in with the mindset of not being able to complete everything the first attempt (or you'll go insane).

    I hope you can try the game again in the future and enjoy it! Maybe having several plays going at once and save scumming at choice points so you can use the same character for most of the options!

  • Star Citizen Pushes Through the $700 Million Raised Mark and No, There Still Isn’t a Release Date
  • That's a little unfair, because enjoyment of something doesn't necessitate it being experienced from beginning to end in a linear progression. Something like the seasonal(?) content on No Man's Sky often requiring a save file being restarted and not needed the main story to be completed to finish the new objectives. Or, something like Path of Exile, where each season progresses from a fresh start at level 1, with no progress carried over.

    Progress gets rest on those about as frequently, it not more so, than the resets in Star Citizen, except those games are also feature complete with a full story involved.

    Maybe something like Ark, then, with the creation of new servers. No real story being progressed through, but a multi-player sandbox environment. Again, though, that's a feature complete game where all the systems (mostly) work.

    I guess where I'm going is that you can certainly look at individual elements of the game and compare those to similar systems in other games. And if expectations are of it being a sandbox you can mess around in and experience some cool systems, it will deliver. But it is not a finished game that has persistent player driven progress. It is not a game with a story path you can follow (though, I don't think it claims to be once fully released, either). It is buggy at times and suffers server issues as the small changes and interactions build up over time, making an instance unstable and eventually kicking everyone logged in.

    "Demo" might be the closest description, but that doesn't quite capture the experience of playing it. It falls very short of being a full game. It also is something that other games just don't capture the same feeling of.

    Again, I'm not trying to convince anyone to spend any money towards it, but absolutely give the free fly events a chance.
