Amazing how much this sticks with you. I got this set back up in minutes. It's got to be the easiest BBS ever.
I haven't been around much the last several years... I went to college to fill in the gaps on my computer knowledge, and luck would have it that someone was retiring and I got my foot in the door as an adjunct when I got my AAS in 2017. Then yet another person retired and now I'm full time with overloads. I can barely find time to keep going for my bachelor's.
I often tell my students that in order to best understand technology today, it's helpful to look at what came before it. I figured I'd set up a system they can play around with and at least demonstrate in class. I've no idea if anyone will actually use it, but who knows!

that's good that you turned your life around.
That's cool! I wish they would have done something similar when I was in school... =)
was the end of that.But it was two years before I realized how much trou could have been in,and I taught myself the basics of Linux and all the internet protocols in thattime. Valuable lessons that I can now share wi others.It's certainly a lot more interesting than falling asleep as the instructorworks the chapter because I'd already finished it the night before.--- þ Synchronet þ Beaumont Software BBS

When they asked me to take over the degree program, I found some documentation from when our college was still part of the 4 year university (the state split us off almost 25 years ago). Our computer information systems program used to have twice the enrollment. I'm sure we lost a lot of that due to most students thinking a 4 year BS CS degree is "better than" a 2 year AAS CIS degree... they're really too different to compare... but, I took a hard look at what we offered and started to completely rework the degree.
The first thing was to stop "teaching from the book". I do select books that have 12-16 chapters so students can have an easy structure to follow, and I assign work from the book, but most of my lectures are spent trying to fill in the why more than the how. Very few of my students are going to graduate
Given that you're saying a classroom, I have to assume high school or lower. Setup twitlist.cfg to filter out MRO messages before you let kids on. If you're lucky he'll just curse at them. Or maybe he'll go full nine and call them f*gs and tell them to f-off.
He seems to be behaving at the moment, but you only have to look back at his messages from a week or two ago to see.
Where did he indicate that he "turned his life around"?
That's right............. he didn't.
Sure is! Being able to share knowledge with others is extremely rewarding. Wwhen those wheels start turning and you know that perhaps -- just perhaps -- you've managed to start their journey...
right now i dont work 60hrs a week which is fine with me.

My financial life is definitely better. Unfortunately, since I
went from a physically demanding job to a desk job, my health
definitely isn't doing good. I've always been a little heavier.
Last I checked, I went from 220 to 270.
Considering I'm already in my mid-forties, I've pretty much
resigned myself to sticking it out for the next twenty years. I
can retire before 70. If you'd have asked me five years ago, I
would have guessed I'd be working full time until I died.

I lost all the extra weight over the course of six months and it's been gone for eight years now. I think. I don't weigh myself anymore and can only guess. If I start feeling like I'm carrying a little extra, I make some adjustments until it goes away. The only weight that matters is the one where you feel comfortable (with your health, your appearance, whatever).
it's helpful to have a scale. losing weight is easy but keeping it off is the hard part. having a scale lets you know for sure you need to make a correction.
i got some nice big chicken breasts and i like to have cauliflower and brocolli. love my air fryer.

For me the first week or two of losing weight was the hard part, and it slowly got easier from there. It was a big lifestyle change, and one I haven't gone back on, so keeping the weight off hasn't been much of an issue.

How do you like that Air Fryer. I've been thinking about getting one to cut down on fatty oils. Just don't want to throw money away.

it's pretty much the only thing i use to cook with now. other than my cast iron skillet.
i recommend this for a starter one

I just purchased a flat top cast iron top for my range, which is the best thing I've erve done. cooks very evenly over the 4 burners.
For simple cooking I've been using a George Forman grill to try to reduce the greese in the foods, but it dries the meat out so much.
At 70, I've got to change my eating habits now, and the air fryer seems to be the way to go. I've managed to loose about 40 pounds going hi protein, low carb, but it's very limited on what you can eat. I'm thinking the air fryer might open up the selections a bit.
cheating food i had would immediately put weight back on me. i also hit a
plateau and couldn't lose weight no matter how much exercise i got. it
might be because it was winter and i was walking outside. i tried gyms and hated it.
many hours. i really do need to walk and get exercise. this time i've been
and round. my stomach just sticks out a little and i need to lose weight

you wont have that problem with air fyer . food comes out great
a guy i know what using meat patties and overcooking them in the air fryer, though. he was using the recommended settings for meat but with those patties they are designed to cook faster.

Awesome, I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and purchase one. Thanks for the help.
Chicken is defintely better, but we put almost everything in it now. The good ol' Aussie meat pie, which could easily take 40-50 mins (from freezer to table) takes sub 20.
Howdy,

I would recommend an air-fryer too. I heard a lot of folks giving it praise and I asked my wife about it, but she wasnt keen. "Not another device in the kitchen, no where to put it."
I think we use it every day, and if not once a day, its twice. So much quicker than the regular oven, without any disadvantage. (Actually the only disadvantage is that its smaller, so making a "meal" sometimes means doing 2-3 batches of stuff.
