nimbleranger17 said:So, I’ve got this lecture scheduled at a school during the week right after the holidays, and my professor mentioned yesterday that everything is proceeding exactly as planned—just a standard, in-person session, no need to worry about any disruptions... NYC, of course, so we all know how that goes.
Then he hops online just one week after the holiday
"We're going to keep an eye on any situation where things look grim or infection numbers start climbing, and if that happens, we'll switch schools over to Model C. We'll drop all the specifics tomorrow, on Friday," Joe Biden said.
So, where's that "war profiteer" now, the one who was acting so high and mighty claiming there was zero chance we'd ever see Model C again?

But what about everyone else? You know, the people who have missed out over the last few years—or even this year—because they caught a nasty flu, ended up needing an emergency appendectomy, or were just dealing with debilitating cramps on the big day? Are they somehow at fault? Does that make them somehow less deserving than the kids dealing with COVID? If we can make accommodations for one group, why shouldn't we set up a makeup session for everyone else facing genuine medical emergencies too?

And besides, graduation season kicks off right when middle school and high school classes are still in full swing.

But the third one? Total garbage. Honestly, I don't think I've ever sat through a worse movie. Actually, wait—there is one worse, and that’s Blair Witch 2

I'm running macOS Monterey. Everything was working perfectly until yesterday, but today this pops up whenever I hit the macOS update button. Anyone got a clue what's going on?
I’m actually digging the PDF Eurovision (even though I can't get in there myself)
It’s come a long way. Honestly, it would be way better if every country had its own specific theme instead of just grouping them by geography—though I know Anderson thinks the regional thing works better...
It’s high time we picked some new mods for the History PDF section. lonetrucker4 is a decent enough regular on the forums, but as a moderator? Total disaster. If anything doesn't line up perfectly with HIS specific version of history, he immediately brands it a fake. And even when you hit him with actual links to prove him wrong, he just moves the goalposts and claims the sources are from "questionable sites."
We actually have folks here who graduated with history degrees or at least live and breathe this stuff as a hobby.
Bottom line: the talent is here, we just need to give people a fair shot.
I’m thinking at least three mods. One mod per sub-section under PDF.
The absolute peak of his arrogance was saying, "I’ll be a mod until the day I die."🤦
He isn't running this place for himself; the History PDF isn't his own private playground.
