  • If you’re late in the planting season you can go for winter veggies. Potatoes and carrots can be planted when it’s cold, and ready to harvest when its warm again. Kale stays green well into the snowy seasons.

    Potatoes just needs a bucket or bag per potato, and soil and/or sand. Fill the bucket maybe halfway and hide the potato, then once it starts growing in the spring keep covering the all but the top part of the stem with new sand-soil until the bucket is full, then let finish growing. Water regularly once it thaws outside, but not while it’s freezing.

    I think I kept it cold but protected during winter, like a shed, but maybe I just left it outside? You can keep one bucket indoors and one outdoors and see if there are different results in the end. Bring both outside once there’s sun and warmth to kickstart the growing.



  • Do a reading challenge with your pupils over the semester, or summer or other break to read more than you, and let them do something harmless but embarrassing to you if they win (like decide what hat or shirt you’ll wear to graduation or the next parent/teacher conference).

    Every book you finish you get to go on a date with your wife to talk about the book (and more).








  • I can see why you love him already!

    As a new cat owner there are a lot of pitfalls (I’ve stumbled into plenty in my time). Figure out how he acts normally, and whenever he strays from that normal - go to the vet.

    For example: regular advice is if cat seems more withdrawn than normal they are sick - for me cat was more affectionate than normal so didn’t realise they were sick,

    Another time I was toilet training cats, and the one who got it turned out to be sick, because potty training isn’t very normal and hides changes in urine and poop schedules.

    And speaking of: if you have outdoor cats, keep them inside for three days now and then to have them go in a litter box just to check that they don’t have parasites, bloody stool, pain around peeing, frequent pees etc.

    If its an option, always have the insured for the vet, and better safe than sorry. Cats are experts at hiding their pain and injuries until its too late, so any change can be a symptom.

    Not to bee a gloomy doomy - my current bastard is nearing 20 years old (with regular vet visits and daily medication no one guesses his actual age). They are for sure the light of your life, and I hope you have a long full life together!


  • I don’t know, I struggle to find a single use.

    Maybe to make a quick funny thing with seven fingers to send to your friends…? But even then the downside is that these images get sort of normalised and I personally wouldn’t do at least not now that the novelty is way over and there are fewer funny obvious errors.

    As a person who can’t draw a circle to save my life, even for RPG-characters I thought I’d find use for it, but I actually prefer doing a horrible childish two-colour-crayon-sketch at the table rather than bring in a portfolio of images made artificially.

    I know that at work when we had out summer greetings sent out from the CEO, anything anyone talked about was how it was so clearly written with AI amd it dor sure didn’tinspireconfidenceor prise in the work olace as it wqs meant to do. The same with some project image very clearly AI generated, which led to the whole project being less reputable in the organisation at a ground level and having fewer qualified people conscript to it willingly.

    And anyborohevt where the creator or images are generated, I’ll trust far less than ines lacking images altogether.

    I’m sorry if I couldn’t answer your question properly.




  • Personally, if I’m paid to work I don’t mind doing other type of jobs, as long as the job I’m hired to do takes precedence. So if I am done with my assignments and they’re still paying me for the time spent at work, I’ll work at whatever needs doing.

    Where I feel this doesn’t work in your case is doing jobs you’re not qualified to do. You’re not trained and qualified to talk to patients about their troubles, or to train nursing staff on how to apply electrodes, and probably not to bring patients to the bathroom. All things that would be your responsibility if you were to do it wrong, as those are not under the qualifications for your position.

    I would put my foot down on those, and go fetch a different/senior nurse (as fetching people IS your job) when that’s needed.

    And that is the conversation I’d have with my manager - not that I don’t want to work while they are still paying, but what types of assignments I’m expected and allowed and qualified to do, and which to refer to someone else to not put yourself and the hospital at risk for liability. And to have that in writing.
