  1. how about doing both? we've removed industrial arts and home ec from most school programs, and we present school with a very strong emphasis on office skills (reading, writing, organizing, etc.) while cutting way back (and even eliminating) skills-based things like shop, woodworking, and cooking. not everyone is headed for an office job in life, so practical skills should absolutely be emphasized a lot more than they currently are. i think that kids leaving high school should know how to cook basic meals, change a tire, balance a checkbook, hammer a nail, and so on. if that means adding more classes or another year of school, so be it.
  2. that's for self pleasure, which is not the only way to achieve a happy ending.
  3. saw a stat about nick young that said he's won fewer games in his ten years in the league than the warriors have won in the last three.
  4. Lauren Theisen 7/05/17 9:31pm When you become outraged at everything, you are outraged at nothing. 442
  5. Only person to win a world series and an NBA championship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Conley
  6. remember, glen, 21 times per month if you want to avoid prostate cancer . . .
  7. Okay, here we go. Kings signed Darcy Kuemper as a backup goalie on a one-year deal.
  8. i'd love to know the story behind this sign.
  9. 62 people shot and 7 killed over the holiday weekend. maybe it's time for something a bit more extreme than the status quo . . .
  10. there are a growing number of days where it feels like my efforts at educating the masses are not appreciated or valued by those receiving the info . . .
  11. that's a great find, adam. btw, zucchini needs garlic and butter, and then it tastes terrific. *apologies in advance to YK
  12. williams signed a deal to return to carolina, AO. no more LA glory for him.
  13. Took junior to the Hollywood bowl last night and Pentatonix. They were very good, especially the tranny guy. Of special satisfaction for me is that one of my former students is one of the violinists. And not only that, she's also the associate principal first violinist, so she's pretty darn good. She came up and saw us before the concert began, and it was a very proud moment for me.
  14. jonathan bernier just signed a one-year deal with colorado.
  15. "They said: “I’m recognising them as a baby and trying to give them all the love and support to be the most whole person that they can be outside of the restrictions that come with the boy box and the girl box.” British Columbia (BC) has so far refused Doty’s request to have Searyl’s birth certificate issued without a gender marker." this child is doomed to a life of confusion. of course, looking at the pics of mom in this article, that was already a given. the lack of gender is just going to make everything about ten times worse.
  16. hope you're safe, home brewer. it's going to be a long summer for fire fighters. we went to bakersfield on saturday and it was depressing to see that all of those beautiful wildflowers on the drive were not only gone (not a surprise), but the hills looked just as dry and brown as if there had been no drought relief this winter/spring.
  17. what do you get when you cross the atlantic with the titanic? about halfway.
  18. i feel honored that you've taken time away from your usual drill of pissing on the poor and indigent to give me your attention. thank you.
  19. we had a very good salad at disneyland last week at the river belle terrace restaurant. it had bbq tofu in it, and it was terrific. recommend highly.
  20. Or perfect peaches macerated in white wine and strewn with lavender. that's a dealbreaker right there.
  21. rams open camp on july 26 in irvine. chargers open about the same time in costa mesa. anyone here ever make a visit to training camp? is it worth making the drive? what do you get to see?
