Community colleges often hire teachers solely based on applicable experience. For K-12, teaching without a degree may be possible depending on the demand and where you live.
Totally agree. For-profit platforms won't exist if they can't generate revenue, either from ads or subscriptions. If I use a commercial offering I expect to pay for it.
If you use the platform and sidestep paying, you're just foisting the expense off on paying customers.
Precise time came to humanity with the railroad. Until then no one cared very much about whether it was 11:35 PM or "around midnight" or "way past bedtime." Train timetables were the first thing that made minutes matter to the general public.
Mariners cared about time and preferred to be as precise as possible, but did pretty well telling local time by the stars. Finding longitude was a problem until good clocks came aling though.
The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don't use a blocker, but this morning I couldn't read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don't have.
I got a complete set of dishes, settin for six, from grocery rewards as recently as the early 2000's. It was from Safeway I think. Not long after that they did cookware, and I got a few pieces before they stopped the program.
I eventually gave away the dishes, but still have the cookware. It's pretty good stuff.
When I take my dog outside and he shuffles around looking for the perfect spot to crap, I tell him to "get with the program." He seems to understand that I'm becoming impatient.
Storm windows are a thing in four season climates, basically just another pane of glass over the existing window in winter. I have known low income people to just staple clear plastic over the frame for the same effect. You might give it a try. Ugly, but better than boarding them up.
I have a landline, I hear a dial tone every time I pick up the phone.
