As you kind of mentioned here, the thing about lowering the standards of education is that it's a spiral that just keeps getting more and more downward pressure. Not holding kids back is such a disservice

Sorry to hear it's been rough for you. I'm in a similar place, finances are extremely tight, time is extremely low, and everything is chaos. This too, will pass. We just have to buckle down and focus on

Boring pays the bills as they say (or in this case lets me feel like I'm tossing around more than chump change 😂)

Awesome! Glad to hear it wasn't just me that got to pull off a move like this! Good work!

Man, I can't even imagine a $10 upvote for myself haha, that must have felt awesome to toss around!

Glad to see you back buddy, I was wondering where you'd disappeared to! Sorry to hear about the job hunt shenanigans, I hope those work out right away.

The change to votes is fantastic, as someone with a small upvote even at 100%, I hate giving less than 100% votes because it always feels to me like it's not worth it for the receiver. So being able to

Heck yeah! Definitely a better time, even if it hurt at the time. I keep meaning to dive into Zing a bit but I've got so many things in the ol' backlog that at this point it'll be next year before I get

Sorry bud, I'm not sure about that one. I'm @lacking's cousin, he's still up north and enjoying the secluded life.

HAH! That's a wonderful little ending. I knew there'd be something devious about the stew, but I didn't see that coming. Very fun!

Oh dang haha yeah that totally makes sense! Following your own motivation is definitely better than dealing with that!

Neat way to express the data. I love this kind of stuff. If you do scale these back, I'd be really interested to see maybe quarterly data sets instead of monthly, if that's not a hassle and you think it's

This is one of the most impressive I've backed. MCDM's "Draw Steel" is also fairly impressive. A friend of mine backed the Discworld RPG and it looks pretty good too, though I don't know if it

It's a great series, I'm just about done with the 5th book and loving it. There will likely be a late backer option for the Mistborn set, and it looks like you can snag physical copies of the tabletop

The quality seems to be pretty good, I suspect I'll be able to use these books and even pass them on to the kids in a decade without any real issues as far as binding goes, I can't immediately tell if

For me at least, with 3 kids at 7yo, 4yo, 1yo... when I say "I'm tired" as an excuse for not getting to what I want it truly means both that i'm physically tired, and mentally drained. Between

Something done and "good" is infinitely better than something perfect sitting half-done on a shelf. It has been something I've been trying to teach myself for a while lol, I try for perfect by

haha absolutely! That would work really well I think.

Feels good to have a nice return on a token for once 🤣 Most I buy and then they're worth nothin' practically the next day.

I was thinking of both Firefly and the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End when I added that entry! Firefly is usually on my mind, quite honestly. Love that show!
