Unless the person in the household doing the teaching has fulfilled all of the state teaching requirements, homeschooling shouldn't exist.

"...you need to go back to where you were checked and have them to the re-check."
I use an Opthamologist, not a "quick-stop" eyeglass store, so it took a while to get the new appointment.
Oh yeah.
The real fun is dealing with the shop that sells the safety glasses (have to go through them for the company to pick up the tab).
Took forever to get the glasses in, found the problem right away.
"No problem, we'll just do a re-check and confirm the numbers... you didn't get checked here..
The re-check also confirmed focuse with the 'close chart,' to insure I could use the prescription for safety glasses.

On the re-check, I wasn't calling the letter unless it was in enough focus to be unambiguous.

I could not see clearly anything five feet or closer. Absolutely useless for someone who works with his hands (critical depth of field is 6-24 inches out).

I'm thrilled to have one of my stories read by @wilwheaton.net for his podcast "It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton." The most recent story on the show is "The Odyssey Problem" from @clarkesworldmagazine.com . Here's the "Storytime" main page with links to listening options: wilwheaton.net/podcast/

You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?

me: a guy here was arrested for assaulting a woman while he was cosplaying as a nazi officer
Dad: what is cosplay
me: *explains*
Dad: sounds like a nazi who stopped "cosplaying" as a normal person
This man's ability to randomly say insightful thing while also putting cosplay in quotes is a trip
The new version will inform you of any 'foreign' airtags in your home, and give you the option to disable them, or to claim them for your own use.
So, long story short, if someone steals your item with an Airtag, they also get to steal your Airtag from your network.
If memory serves, Airtags aren't that useful for tracking stolen items, due to an update from the phone ap years ago.
Appearantly, there were cases of stalkers dropping Airtags into women's purses to track them to their home. So apple adjusted the software... (1/?)
Sorry folks for reposting this but someoneβs fursuit head ended up at Goodwill. It might have been a fursuit head stolen at TFS?
Can we get some reskeets so hopefully someone recognizes it?

Thank you, @gog.com for including game length in your storefront/installer program. It's a little thing, but does help me figure out what games I should tackle next.

Follow up the "Are you feeling OK?" question with "Was that a lie?" to get past the reflexive "I'm fine" response.
Sometimes we NEED someone to reach past the pleasantries.
