Teacher had a relatively complex microbiology practical for a class to do for assessment today. I'm assisting.
First step is for half the class, 6 students, to instruct me through the protocol. Other half instructed the teacher. Weren't dicks about it, but did play a little naive. "Flame it? Flame what? The thing in my left hand or my right?""

Brilliant move by the teacher, students nailed every step between them, and threw up a few "actually, is x or y best?" questions. Then nailed practical.

in reply to Michael Porter

@MichaelPorter That's generally how it works for secondary here, it's part of teachers' contracts but not defined in law, apart for the limit on practical classes. 33 for the first two years of high school, then 30 for the rest. Although for our senior classes it tends to be 5-15 most of the time because they're specialising.
Primary classes *are* limited by law, 25, 30 and 33 as they get older.

Funny that the limit is higher for the earlier years. You'd think those kids would benefit more from a lower pupil:teacher ratio.

I've been informed that, sadly, my-place.social is shutting down at the end of the year.

I am already checking out some other options -- by preference another Friendica server, as that has done a very nice job both as a writing platform and as connecting to both the Fediverse and Diaspora ... but we'll have to see what shakes out.

I will try to make the relocation announcement here as far in advance as I can, so there is plenty of time to move over. (Friendica apparently has some migration/notification features, but it's unclear how they will play with followers on other platforms.)

More as I have it to share ...

Christoph S reshared this.

Thanks for the notice - and it's good that you have forewarning to make those plans. I'll be following you, wherever you end up. Keep on keeping on. :-)

Posted while mournfully removing all the stickers from my recently-broken work laptop for return. Fortunately as a 3D printer owner, I have tools for this kinda thing!

Next step is the de-gooping.

in reply to May is Seasonally Seasoned

@mayintoronto Haha. Nah I love my IT support peeps. The fact they shipped a brand new laptop halfway around the world in a few days when I did something stoopid helps. The huge number of shits given to support tickets mean tech gets out of the way so I can work.

(This is a tech company not a giant behemoth sending out 2016 Dells, thankfully)



Is govdelivery.com legit? If so, why aren't they using a .gov domain?

@mmdolbow Yuck. They're behind basically every local gov website near me.

1. You, a local gov, have terrible communication.
2. Get Granicus!
3. You still have terrible communication, but you have a clunky website now, too.



Played this on my radio show tonight. It's been bouncing around in my head for months.

Novelty, maybe.
Striking, definitely.
AI slop? Definitely not, I've seen him live.
Different. Barefoot down and out Rap music from a white man over 60.
Feels more real than most Grime/Hip Hop.

Norman Pain is real.

They're novelty but actually the stuff is pretty decent so they actually get respect. It's not parody, made by outsiders, people in the scene are involved. It's pretty weird.

His energy is 🔥

Like I say, I've seen him live with my own eyes, he's real.



Holy Shit, #Valve did a product launch in 2025 and did not mention AI a single fucking time. So refreshing.

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!
