@ChefReactions You have to check PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. An awesome view and unique food choices.

hey @PAGameComm I am concerned that the deer shown in the photos may have chronic wasting disease. Please DM me for more information. In the immediate area of Sturgeon PA.

@elonmusk I am an educator, though not in California. However I am concerned that this law is being misrepresented. The law does not ban school entities from notifying parents. The law says the state cannot require notification of the parents. The school can choose to notify the parents.

Hey @VerizonSupport , is anyone working today? No one is returning calls or picking up a chat request.

I tell my students this all the time! I am relieved to hear that I am not the only one with this mindset.

I told a student last wk that the work they do in the class is for them, not for me. They said, “That kind of blows my mind.” We’ve taught S’s to 🙃learn for the teacher (& points, grades, credits, credentials) to the pt that it rarely occurs to them they cd learn for themselves

Officially a private pilot as of this morning! ✈️

It was one of the most difficult days I have ever experienced in 33+ years. A colleague came into my room during class and said “turn on the tv”. I stood in disbelief. My students, juniors and seniors, did the same. The school was silent the rest of the day.

Who out there was already teaching in 2001 when the twin towers fell?

I was a tutor at the time, so I slept through the whole thing. Didn't even have a TV or a decent phone so I found out late in the afternoon.

I can't imagine being in front of a classroom at the time.

[Douglas Macek @d_macek]

Congratulations to all the band and squad members as well the instructors. You put on a great show tonight!

[Douglas Macek @d_macek]

@ZelenskyyUa @POTUS Scrolling trough the comments … nobody really noticed the hashtag with the “33” ? So what, 10 years from now? Lmao. This whole show gonna be over by the next US elections.

[Douglas Macek @d_macek]

I believe you have just identified why experienced teachers leave the profession.

[Douglas Macek @d_macek]

@DrKMercadante @MikeAsti11 It’s seemed the PB to Jelly ratio was off.

@alicekeeler Control Period (Ctrl .) Is Superscript

[Douglas Macek @d_macek]

@krassenstein So that averages to a little less than $14 per item. Considering how Costco sells food, generally large quantities, that number is not shocking.

[Douglas Macek @d_macek]

Thank you for reminding me of a story that my father told shortly before his death of passing a beggar on the street when he was young, then turning around and the beggar was gone. He felt he failed a test. He never let that happen again. Test or not, he said it changed him.

@RexChapman I was in a math class at my university working toward my BS in physics. I did not believe it until I walked into the physics department a short time later. To this day I cannot put into words the feelings I experienced.
