America's kids have been suspended for pretending that pencils were guns, but an Ohio school may have topped that. A 10-year-old student at a Columbus elementary school was handed a three-day suspension for making a finger gun and pretending to shoot a classmate. The suspension letter more formally referred to his weapon as a "level 2 lookalike firearm," reports the Columbus Dispatch. Devonshire Alternative Elementary School's principal says students have been frequently told not to play pretend gun games, with a district rep saying kids were warned consequences would follow.
Those consequences hit hard last week for fifth-grader Nathan Entingh, who says he was "just playing around"; the rep said Nathan pretended to shoot another student "kind of execution style" in the head. And the "victim" didn't even see the mock execution, which was instead spotted by a teacher. Nathan's dad seems dumbfounded: "It would even make more sense maybe if he brought a plastic gun that looked like a real gun or something, but it was his finger." (Almost exactly a year ago, a Georgia teacher was suspended over a finger gun of his own.)
Not yet, but will be in 3h 35 minutes. 20:25h
The sun is setting around 6 again instead of 4:15 ish, Summer is approaching.
We change to Daylight Savings Time at midnight this coming up Saturday. It will be dark longer in the mornings (and the offpring, whingier), but it will be light for Cub Scouts meetings.
I hate DST. It’s totally unnecessary. And the older I get, the harder it is for me to adjust.
I don’t like changing, either. But we are ... and it will be light for Cub Scouts meetings. If we hadn’t done the Fall Back in October, we’d have had light for meetings back in the late fall.
Dst/ bst, confuses next doors Cat.
He knows he has to be out from under the car by 05:00h sharp, then out of the blue it starts at 4 am , by his watch. Huh?
Time, what do you make of it?
I like it
Thank You for the pings.
That is relative to your velocity through space.
Time doesn’t exist, it is just a neat trick of gravity; whatever that is?
If it did, Clocks and Watches wouldn’t need a battery or spring to run on. They would be time powered ,through differential mechanical propulsion.
It is a figment of our linear processing system created in order to remove chaos and fear.
That is my theory, and I’m sticking with it until a better one comes along. :)
I lapsed from math when we were supposed to learn about Vectors. Vectors are a type of demigods, aren’t they?
Best explanation I’ve ever heard. Thanks Moose!
Is this our new home for March?
Why not?
Dunno yet.
We haven’t exactly had a good run of options.
I’ll ask the thread originator.
We could highlight libtardist terminology.
“Level 2 lookalike firearm” indeed.
Would you object terribly to this being the March installment of the Undead Thread?
May I say a word to the owner?
Your thread reminds me of something once I heard in song ... was in OneRepublic ... Counting Stars. I could lie but I love this thread of yours. Shows me the things that aren’t but that be in the lessons learned.

We covered vectors in four different subjects at College.
The only one that stuck was the transportation of pathogens.
As for the rest, we’ll have to wait for the wd40 to do its thing.
Impala64ssa, Your decision, for I want no power to influence you or anyone else. Well, maybe that is a bit of a small white lie.
