i was very annoyed in school when boys had to play loving cricket during summer months and girls got to play the much superior and violent field hockey.

Nobody actually told me how to play cricket and obviously as a sane child I had never watched it, so I tried to play it like american baseball on TV.

Only accidentally threw the bat one time.

I assume if you ever actually manage to hit anything, it's definitely killing a spectator yes. I think the first time I took a swing I ended up doing a spin and falling over, so I dunno how practical it is.

This has just blown up in my local facebook group - Anger as two-thirds of DMAT staff face redundancy in staffing restructure proposal

DMAT is the Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust which has absorbed ~14 primary schools and 3 secondary schools, There are already major issues with insufficient staffing levels and lack of support for the kids. But they now want to take it further:

quote:

- Teaching assistants limited to Reception and Key Stage 1 (Years One and Two) classes

- Only three full time equivalent (FTE) higher level teaching assistant posts across the trust

- A reduction in the number of teaching staff by 0.27 FTE

- Reduced administration roles in schools as this work would be carried out in a centralised hub

- No finance assistant role as no financial administration will take place in the secondary schools

- A reduction in the number of technicians from 12.12 FTE to 4.3 FTE across the three secondary schools run by DMAT (Okehampton, Tavistock and Holsworthy). This would affect science, technology, creative arts and PE lessons.

- The role of school improvement officer removed

- The role of director of civic responsibility removed

In the same local facebook group, there are plenty of posts from boomers complaining about unruly children causing mischief and vandalism, but these fuckwits can never put 2+2 together.

I'm just glad I don't have kids

It's so funny how in places run by an actual communist party like China or Cuba they have a high degree of trans acceptance, pass favorable legislation, and provide for their care and surgery and there's no giant public fight about it because it's just not a thing people get weird about, but "communist parties" in the UK just cannot resist being loving weird about it.

Nah, it's cool.
They'll just permanently exclude any of the 'problem' children, like every other multi-academy trust run by cunts does.

"There but for the grace of God, go I".

A phrase I think about often, never uttered or even considered by any one of these Tory cunts. You're born into circumstances, at random, which *entirely* decide the path of your life. "Successful" people love to say "Ah well everybody has equal opportunities! I worked hard to get where I am!" as if there aren't people born in Somalia who work harder than them, but never end up where they are, having been born in the West, probably to well-off parents (literally, it is more probable that successful people have been born into wealth - familial wealth is the number 1 predictor of being wealthy yourself, unsurprisingly).

Reminds me there was a game released (Rust) where when you sign up, your character is assigned a random gender, race and some other traits (including penis size if you're male!), and those traits are permanent and unchangeable. It was controversial at the time but it's obviously how things work in real life. Funny really.

I'm really struggling to understand why algae tanks are a replacement for trees.

Surely if you want to put algae anywhere you would put it on roofs, or perhaps there is some other kind of plant that doesn't need to be kept in water, grows everywhere, and has historically been used for roofing.



No, manky fishtank it is.

Dunno if you got the reference, I was referring to solar roadways. Photovoltaic panels are preferably placed on top of stuff so there's nothing above them to obscure the sunshine and nothing degrading them by direct physical contact. One such spot is on rooftops, which aren't yet, as can be easily verified, saturated with solar panel coverage. Despite this, there's no shortage of idiots spending public and private cash building expensive and useless solar roadways

I bet there's an untapped algae (algar?) scam quota somewhere in there for anyone shameless enough to exploit it--beyond their legitimate utility I mean. I got nothing against algae, they're cool

A tank of algae like that will need feeding and constant water flow otherwise you'll end up with dead and rotting zones inside. Also there is always the possibility of contamination and you grow something other than nice green algae, much of which will make that tank look utterly horrid.

You also can't seal off the tank to make a closed system (which can survive), otherwise how would you get the clean air out?

Might be a bit of a silly question but why is the toothbrush being moved over the lav in the first place? Surely you brush over the sink or if you're a multi-tasker you'd sit on the lav for a casual piss/poop/wank while brushing
