Teaching is a separate skill / talent. And it's rarely selected for in higher academia.
Mirrors my own experience doing this type of work (only made it two weeks before I gave up) and my partners. Excellent piece.
Fishing. But not just regular fishing, life listing. I catalogue and detail ever fish I catch; the conditions, the type of lure or bait, the rod etc. From there you can get into microfishing with tanago rods, surf fishing etc. It's can get quite deep and a good additional hobby for people who love to travel.
I know of a couple people. It was a pretty miserable experience.
Impossible for a Vocational Tech teacher in the networking field. How can I teach computers without computers?

I started adding music that I discovered on Spotify, but wanted to fight the algorithm and make my own memories and playlists. Almost ten years later it's an autographic audio memory vault. No framework, no database

Open Ritual 1.0 is a gender-neutral, open source initiation framework with mutual aid obligation built into the protocol at the moment of initiation — not bolted on afterward.
The distribution model is GitHub. The license is CC BY-SA. Fork it, run it, publish your version.
The one thing that cannot be forked away: the candidate must never know what comes next. Everything else is open.

I’m a teacher, not a professional developer. I’ve been trying to track my fishing life-list in Excel for the last year, but it was clunky and I eventually gave up.I wanted to show my students that the "technical wall" shouldn't stop them from building tools they actually need. I "vibe coded" this entire app in about a day using AI to handle the syntax while I focused on the logic and the user...
My apologies. My copies got messed up. Thanks for the help.

I got tired of vague arguments about teacher vs admin pay, so I pulled the public records, crunched the data, and built a static site that lets anyone explore it by county, name, or role. No backend, just HTML + Leaflet + JSON.
If the intent is to collect foreign IPs attempting login - you could block it down the chain. Lots of intelligence reasons to do this.
“As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously,”
As an Information Tech Instructor I have my students use ChatGPT all the time - but it never occurred to me to make them share the link. Will do it now.
1. If rolled out right, you select a few influencers and taste makersn generate buzz and then release.
2. Retina scanning.
3. The Human Network.
No teacher right now is going to take the time to check that. Most of us are already near a breaking point.
Most grand lodges of states employ both men and women even if the organization is men only.
I've been using Ublock Origin for weeks without one ad one every video I watch. Not sure if I'm a special case or stock Ublock Origin is just doing a fantastic job.
Most people who research UFOs know that it probably isn't "alien" technology.
Eh, I didn't really enjoy fighting margins etc - I used a combination of GIMP and Publisher to make sure everything was perfect. The Amazon Kindle creation tool was the worst.
Not many simple 3d printers out there. Make sure you have adequate ventilation especially for resin. I got rid of printing in my house because of my 2 year old.
I might have to try a high heavy cream couple of weeks. One thing that's weird about carnivore is that I noticed that the Weight and Size aren't the same with standard CICO. In my twenties I lost a bunch of weight with CICO and was a 38 waist down from a 44 and I was 180lbs. Gained it back of course and now in my thirties on carnivore I'm the same size 38 but around ~250. Muscle density? Who knows.
