I finally started God of War!!! Got it on a sale and has been in my backlog, waiting for its moment to shine.

And I’m back to Fields of Mistria, because there’s an update due soon.

In the previous weeks (I forgot to participate): Expedition 33, Palworld and Baba is You.

What a beauty!!!

They are outdoors 90% of the time! I only bring them indoors when the night is going to be extremely cold.

They are on a south facing balcony, they get light all day. I don’t do anything about hibernation, but they don’t seem upset. I mean, this is their second or third year with me.

The ones in the picture are around 30cm, but there’s a super long one that is bent. I think that something went wrong with that one.

I think it’s written like that

Omg that’s gorgeous!!

It’s super cute!!

Yeah… Parents noticed something wrong too and he’s being checked.

I have things for students of all ages that for whatever reason need to destroy stuff, and they know I’ll give them the item they prefer no questions asked (but I’m always there to listen to them). Before I figured out why those students were behaving the way they were, lessons were miserable.

One day I offered a girl a tray of used paper sheets to shred instead of the textbook and it changed my life lmaoo

This kid is not destructive, so my usual tactics don’t work. The bitter spray did, tho.

Talked to the parents because this kid is known for doing weird/illogical stuff. They say that they know that something is not right and that they are trying to figure out what it is.

So till we know if the student has an issue or of he’s simply the Herald of Chaos, I will keep coating the pencils with bitter stuff.

Also, yes I have to beg for board markers and all the materials in my class have been paid by me, and I’d like them to last.

Peer pressure would be a disaster. Kids are vicious creatures when they have the chance, and I know that several of his classmates are certified brats with a taste for blood.

Hi! So I suggested nail chewing deterrent to the boss, checked that the kids have no allergies, bought the deterrent in a pharmacy and coated all the pencils and part of one eraser (they stop working with the polish).

All it took was one lick (and OMG their faces), they didn’t put the pencils/eraser near their mouth again. I hope they remember the lesson next week lol. I coated all pencils so the kid I wrote the post about wouldn’t get targeted.

I watched the kid that has me particularly worried and he didn’t show interest in putting anything else in his mouth, nor did he have a change in attitude. Now that he isn’t licking stuff, he is somewhat more focused in class?? I have to keep watching.

I’ll update you!!

Well, yes, it interrupts the class because every few minutes I have to stop him. The other lemmings have given me some great ideas

They are not

I’ll find something else too, then. I don’t want to harm him

Ooooooh very nice idea!!! Thank you!!!

He’s not chewing them. He’s putting them in his mouth whole. I don’t think he’ll choke, but other people want to use the eraser too. Yes I paid for them myself, as someone else guessed in the other answers.

I appreciated the TIL by itself, but the video added a whole new dimension of “definitely, this is not what I was imagining”.

Thank you!

You have received tons of useful responses, so I will not add more, except to tell you that the change is extremely worth it, easier than it seems and extremely entertaining.

I personally use Kubuntu (I love the KDE environment) and sometimes play Steam games by using Proton.

Good luck on your Linux journey!
