Homeschooling in the Tech Community
-
Grove Social has a model train community you know! Sadly, no one posts there but me. Hop in and we can talk trains there!!
-
Hmmm... will try to get that fixed.
-
@scottalanmiller You're such a tease
-
Sorry, meant for that to work, lol. That site is often used for testing of the NodeBB updates so it breaks more than the others.

Oh lawd, you don't have a staging environment? Those poor model trains

We use the low priority communities for that

that's so horrifying to me, I won't sleep well tonight -
Maybe once there are advertisers and sponsors, but as long as the site is purely a community effort.... paying for extra capacity isn't in the cards I don't think.
-
Site is fixed. Go check it out!!
-
Perfect timing.... modelrr... saw this an hour later...
-
LOL. Good one.

There's the one hand that wants to homeschool our daughter for all purely selfish reasons: I don't want to get up early every day, I want to go on vacation when I want to go on vacation, and I am paranoid about the types of kids/situations in public school.
Then there's reality that says in no way am I disciplined enough to homeschool our daughter, I need me time without kids in order to function as a civilized human most of the time, and she is so excited about going to kindergarten that she can't hardly stand it.
If I could find a situation where someone else could homeschool my kid, that would be great.
-
@NetworkNerdWifey there are kids that just NEED that social interaction at school. Nothing wrong with that. Not every personality is cut out to spend 24/7 with their kids. Every kid is different in what they need.
-
@scottalanmiller As soon as I register I can see the entries anymore, apparently I don't have access. Also, ever consider combining the user system or linking them like StackExchange? That's what I'd do, and I'll do it if you pay me to
-
That's pretty weird. I think that I need the NodeBB guys to look at that one.
-
@scottalanmiller THERE'S SO MUCH I NEED TO SAY ABOUT O, S, HO SCALE TRAINS AH!!!
-
And TT! Don't forget that. Very popular in Europe. It's a great scale.

Yeah TT is pretty popular where I grew up, people there are super smug about it, I on the other hand love HO scale, TT is too small for me, I feel like being able to accidentally swallow an engine isn't very practical, and HO scale is just easier to work with. I really hate O and S scale though, way too big.

This is an odd tangent you guys went off on... but I will join in. Not too far from me is a "museum" for 1/4 or 1/5 scale model trains. The ones that grown adults can ride on. If I remember right there are ~30 miles of track associated with this and they have people coming from all over the world to watch these trains go by and to test new designs on a "realistic" surface. I can't remember what it is called I will do some searching.

That's up there above G scale, try these:
