Good to see my driving technique is actually vetted and approved. I'm always surprised at the people who take turns like they're moving through molasses when I'm pulling a tight arc and getting back up to speed seconds after finishing the turn.
Aggressive driving is kinda unsafe and you save very little time making perfect turns, I'd guess.

Why use breaks when forward energy can drain on it's own?
In situations where forward energy doesn't drain quickly enough for the tightness of the turn. But that's more relevant in an area like mine where every road has a limit of 50mph, less so in residential areas were it's 30mph or less.
Edit: Although yes, even if you initially break (or rather especially if you initially break) you should be accelerating through the second half of the turn.
I'm ok with educators teaching people to err on the side of caution re: safe sex
Abstinence is a good component of sex ed, but abstinence-only sex ed (which is more what we typically have around here) is actively harmful and irresponsible.
It seems to me that teaching abstinence of any sort in sex is a bit like telling people to never put the key in the ignition in drivers ed.
It's not really condusive to what you are trying to instruct the participents in.
Of cause you should also instruct that refraining from having sex is an option, just like not driving when you can't keep your attention on it is the safer option.
Edit. I guess what I mean is that to me abstinance implies that both people are denying themselves something they want.
I mean, in the sense that teenagers are perennially horny and want sex constantly then yes that's what it is. That's kind of the point, just because you really wanna have sex doesn't mean you SHOULD in a lot of circumstances. The difference between abstinence as a component of sex ed and abstinence-only sex ed is the latter says "just don't do it ever" which isn't a reasonable expectation. The former is about teaching kids to understand appropriate manifestation of desires. Sometimes yes, you SHOULD deny yourself something you want because what you want in that moment is an incredibly stupid decision that will ruin your life.
abstinence is one of those things I feel like is properly addressed by going "we all know, of course, that not having sex is the best ways to not capture a sexual transmitted disease or to prevent pregnancy" and then moving on
bowen on

It's not aggressive driving, it's not holding up the people behind me and getting out of the intersection ASAP as I stick to my lane and don't drift to an entirely different lane. Only time I do aggressive driving is to get around someone who is holding up traffic on the freeway.
I think it's important to establish that when you engage in sexual activities with other people you are taking a variety of risks (pregnancy, std, etc) just like its important to establish that when you engage in driving a car that you are taking a variety of risks (hitting a pedestrian, getting hit by a truck, etc) and that you need to approach such activities with an appropriate level of respect and safety as a result.

Quickly transferring weight distribution to the front tires where the increased traction might be required. But I don't think Mad Max was teaching this technique for every day casual driving around town.

So today at the high school they are, in conjunction with the local police force, doing their Every Fifteen Minutes activity.
Every fifteen minutes they play a muffled heart-beat over the intercoms. Then somebody dressed up as a grim reaper walks the school, and plucks a student out of a classroom. That student then goes over to the library where the theater & art teachers apply make-up to have them look deceased. The student is then returned to their class and for the rest of the day they do no work, they don't talk and then just sit/walk around silently.
At the end of the day we have an assembly where the whole school gathers out at the parking lot to observe a simulated crash scene.
Oooh boy...
My high school when I was a student would just park a totaled (and looked it) vehicle on the front lawn and the Health teacher would do a lesson about it/drunk driving.

heheh the guy sitting behind me never logs any of his casework.
I've done the shitty thing of setting up a report to monitor co-worker's closed case amount because he's constantly on his phone and I feel mildly overworked, and I'm seeing his caseload at like, 4-5 a day when I'm clearing 100+ regularly because I log what I do to resolve each situation. Like you're supposed to.
And this dude has complained about the quality of co-workers work before to the point where it helped get another two co-workers fired just because he couldn't keep quiet and let them adjust to new account decks or learn new systems
He's been given the 'second largest' account deck because they ran his numbers and didn't think he had anything to do.
His account deck, in reality, was probably comparable to mine before
He just spent an hour complaining about how it's not fair that he has all these accounts and now he can't get caught up.
Like, welcome to my world, dude.

One of my uncle's early jobs was off-road testing trucks and SUVs for an auto manufacturer. They'd give him a brand new vehicle and he'd spend days screwing around with it on a scramble course, reporting when and how it broke.
He was fired for drinking on the job. To this day he claims that since his job was thinking up stupid ways to wreck trucks, having a few beers was just professional development.

So the fast food chain Raising Cane's gave every teacher in my building a gift card for one free combo as an appreciation thing.
I now have a dozen of them because several teachers just threw the cards into the recycling and I pulled them out.
I'm going to give them to students who need them because jeez, throwing away free food vouchers at a school with 83% free or reduced lunch?

I love Raising Cane's so much. If it wouldn't kill me in under a year, I'd have one of their combo boxes every day for lunch and dinner. There's one right down the street from my new library, and it's a serious Jekyll and Hyde scenario every time I go to the break room to microwave my whole wheat pasta with mostly veggies.

You're good people Tim.
Shocked at the thoughtlessness of the other teachers.
Interviewed with a very interesting charter highschool today, it's mostly online. It's aimed at students that can't do traditional highschool for whatever reason.
They are paying for my live scan and my TB test so I assume that means I landed the gig. Just a summer tutoring position for now, which is great while I try to turn my teaching credential into something else either their or at another school.
And applying for my back up plan which is teaching via the Peace Corp in ideally Armenia, with Mongolia being my back up choice.
Maths out that about the time that my nest egg will be running out from rent and food is when I'd get on a plane for another country, so, yay.
Finally feeling less panicked about my whole, trying to find a job while my folks place is being sold and needing to scramble for an apartment situation.

It was the episcopal camp I eventually came to work at for a summer and still go back to from time to time. I am not on my computer otherwise I would tell as much of the story as a I could remember. The session began with them collecting our eye color to designate us as different people (I.e. Races) and we were given Monopoly money based on that. The whole thing ended when people were doing everything but intercourse in order to get those sweet, sweet, literal monopoly dollars.

I'm honestly not a fan. The chicken's consistently too dry for me. This may be an issue with a particular place, but... well, there's no shortage of good fast food places around.
Well not really work related but one of things that happens after work
the police officer whom patrols the area who said I had a warrant {I doubt as the other officers who talked to me while walking home said nothing]
to which I called the courts and asked if I had a warrant they said I was not on the books. That officer has told me 3 times to go to the precinct and ask if I have a warrant :rotate: not to call in asking
But he rolls on me after work kindly reminding me as in his words it would be a shame to arrest me over something so petty
I have reported him to the city task force overseeing police problems but it still is happening
I have to change where I walk home just to avoid him now again
Yes yet another part of my life is a living hell I somehow deal with
Today sucked as tomorrow is the Inventory
So I had to go in less than 12 hours I got off from last night {I left at 2354 and had to come back at 1000} so other than being a weird day it's going to be sucky tomorrow as we have to wait till they release the store so I can start my job
I skipped breakfast this morning because I was asked to come in early. I'm not sure if this belongs here or the love thread, but my fiancee had lunch delivered to my work. A salami, pepperoni, bacon, and mozzarella sandwich was a pretty great surprise.

Oh yeah. We totally did this ay my school. Was put in by one of our clubs (YELL, Youth Eliminating Loss of Life) in conjunction with the police. Was always the Friday before prom. And only seniors were picked as the "victims" since most of us were all done classes by that point.
They stopped the whole thing after my senior year. We had the whole thing lined up and we just kept in with it as we normallyly would.
Except this was the third week of April in 1999. The week after Colombine.
Yeah.
That went about as well as you'd expect it to. I don't think they did anther one after that.

I always let the engine slow down the car, to the point that I almost never use the break.
This driving stile also means I hate driving automatic gears.
