  I went to a similar looking middle school, but each grade was in one giant room probably the size of a gym. No class had an actual wall unless it was on the edge. Probably 10-11 classes in each big room for the grade. The only dividers between classes were like rolling bulletin boards and maybe a metal cabinet or two. I couldn’t imagine having to teach in those conditions because it always was pretty noisy.

  I also remember the school’s gym had a full locker room with showers but students weren’t allowed to use the showers and none of the bathrooms in the school had stall doors. And the stalls were those short ones were your head was higher than the top of the wall. It was super weird.

  It’s NC, so it’s bottom of the barrel what is legally required minimum wage.

  And yet a local Domino’s Pizza around here is still offering the same $12 an hour rate and advertising a manager salary of $25k a year! Corporations never learn and people wonder why customer service is so crappy.

  I wouldn’t go that far. The whole Way of the Sword and all that really kicked off when Miyamoto Musashi was around and that was the 16th century. He was a famed dualist with a sword and wrote The Book of the Five Rings, which is all about swordplay and techniques/styles/skills.

  AA’s CEO is a Gen X. You have a lot of Gen X with that Greed is Good crap from the 80’s

  Using Teams always reminds me that Microsoft bought Skype for billions, ruined it and developed a shifty replacement.

  I know it’s not uncommon for the chimney to go through the eaves for more support, if that’s an option for you. I know someone in Alaska with a tiny house that did something like that, with a wall mounted tiny stove and it was pretty impressive!

  Have you looked at anything like this? They are extremely tiny wood stoves that are perfect for little spaces. cubicminiwoodstoves.com

  Seems like about every pubic US university was selling those back in the late 90’s. So overpriced, even for the time!

  Didn’t Thatcher say that Cameron was her priest achievement? I’m sure she had something to do with it.

  I just hope they release an actual playable demo, even if it’s just a real short one. Just like a tidal island or twilight stand size area.
