Bazza Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 No, camo is the new tie-dye. Add a bush hat and you're closer to the stereotype. I think I know that person/stereotype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 The Earth will get a little cooler after Mount Agung erupts.

Pariah Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 And now we're relying on volcanoes to save us from hurricanes and other effects of climate change. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Volcano effects are transient: a couple of years at most. Really annoying if you're trying to make observations from thr ground in the UV, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Idea: replace "bedroom" with "hammock-room". (A hammock is a type of bed, so 'bedroom' is still apt, but 'hammock-room' sounds so much cooler.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 In places with real winters, though, you want the warm of a real bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Or a bivouack. In the snow. Mighty comfy. Just watch that CO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Why would one have a hammock indoors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I've seen that in beach cottage type places, both indoors and under roofs outdoors (porches). It's a functional bed in tropical climates that can be stowed compactly. It isn't a master bed, but it is something of a bed that can be deployed when you're well over the usual capacity of a house.

Bazza Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Cooperation or competition? Funny, I just spent three days in a conference on pretty much this exact question. The correct answer (at least in the context of teaching) is cooperation. What's funny is that education is context from where I got this from.

Pariah Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I like that article. It seems to me that as our world has become ever more technologically advanced, we humans have started to lose connection with each other. Education is (nominally) preparing students for a competitive job market, but is not really preparing them to be functional human beings. One of the big foci at this conference was all students--not just the high achievers or the ones we happen to like personally--need to feel like they have the opportunity and the support to be successful.
