re: Chicago public schools blow millions on travel while students can't read at grade level
Posted by CrazyTigerFan on 11/24/25 at 4:58 pm to HoustonGumbeauxGuy
What child learns to read at school? That was an "in the home" for my parents, aunts, and uncles, then for me, my cousins, and my friends, and now for those of us with kids of our own.

The grandparents wanted to be called Grand-mere and Grand-pere. The oldest grandchildren pronounced that as Grossy and Grumpy, and that stuck.

Gumbo and jambalaya are good. Cassoulet is another good option.

preventive and routine maintenance service must be performed if the buildings do not become what we'd commonly call "a dump."
But then, when a public entity actually is fiscally responsible, and plans for and budgets adequate funding for maintenance, those same people complain that the entity is too flush with cash and should receive less funding.
re: First attempt at making sushi

You can put grilled stuff on nigiri and have it still be "traditional". And by traditional I mean things you would find at many/most places in Japan.
My parents don't eat raw fish, and my younger sister doesn't eat any fish, but there were plenty of options at the conveyor belt sushi places in my neighborhood when they visited me.
Kura Sushi and Sushiro (two of the more popular chains) frequently had different chicken, beef, and pork optiins. Tamago (sweet egg omelet) is cooked, and normal shrimp are usually boiled (but not sweet shrimp).
Definitely eat what you like, though. I'm not meaning to suggest otherwise.

While you're learning, try to get some good fish and rice and learn to make nigiri too.
All the sauces and cream cheese and vegetables and mango and flashy stuff in American style maki (hand rolls, although when the rice is on the outside of the nori that's technically uramaki) is nice and all.
But the simplicity of fish and rice presented as nigiri can't be beat, imo. (It's also more authentic to what you'd find at most places in Japan, if you care about that at all.)

For the Arithmancer / Calculator:
- learn Focus from Squire
- equip the Squire skill (I forget what it's called) on the Calculator
- have Ramza use Tailwind on the Calculator a bunch of times
- have the Calculator use Focus for gauarnteed JP (at least, until its Physical Attack reaches 99)
Then you can do some math and use the Calculator skills to break shite. Queue the Chevy Chase "no math" gif.

re: Some more background info on LSU's new chancellor, Dr. James Dalton

quote:The devil will be in the details, but currently at LSU, instructors and teaching professors generally have twice the teaching load at half the salary compared to tenure-track professors. The reduced teaching load for tenure-track professors is supposed to be balanced by the research and publication requirements.
, we implemented new titles and promotion paths for RC Faculty (Renewable Contract) with PhDs. Dalton’s stipulation with this was that all RCF, even if they were strictly teaching faculty, had to have some sort of scholarly activity (publications, research, presentations, etc.).
To bring down class sizes they will need to offer more sections, which means hiring more teachers or increasing teaching loads. Those things will require more money.

quote:The plans from a few years ago were on the tracks near Perkins. The BR stops were in the medical district between Bluebonnet and Essen and a terminus near Government and 14th Street.
Isn’t this the line that will carry the BR-NO rail traffic?
So, no, not the tracks closer to the river and campus.
Might as well mention here that the other planned stops were in Gonzales, in Laplace (or maybe NORCO), near MSY, possibly in Jefferson Parish (which would probably be near JPAC and Zephyr's Field), and a terminus at Union Passenger Terminal in New Orleans.

Did you ever see Tokyo Groove? Love Juna Serita and also Harumo Imai, me.
I'm more familiar with City Pop era singers, although I do know some newer stuff. Here's an ano track that's essentially an ad for bored teens to work at McDonald's. (She did a few actual commercials too.)

Haku - The Universe of My Mind
Haku is a four piece band from Osaka that formed in 2019. I heard them in a club a few months before I came back to the US, just before they started to blow up. They did the cover of 1999 from my other post.
Haku is great to listen to if you're trying to learn Japanese. The singer pronounces things clearly, and they use normal words in most of their songs.
This song is essentially about learning how to deal with the thoughts, feelings, and "mysterious secrets" inside one's own head while also living in the real world. (Hence, in the video, they all learn how to play their instruments, and later the bassist and drummer showing the singer and guitarist how to eat.)

Hitsujibungaku - 1999.
The song is about growing up and things changing. It's set on Christmas Eve 1999, with the imminent turn of the century.
1999 was a rough year for me. Two of my best friends from high school died six months apart, and I had problems dealing with that and adjusting to college.
So while everyone else was partying like it was 1999, I was feeling like this song feels. Sad for the way things change, but a hopeful for happy times ahead.
The best part is that this song wasn't released until 2018. I didn't know about it until I heard a cover during Christmas 2023 while I was living in Japan. But it took me straighy back to 1999. Music can be amazing.
