Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
The guy who does the voice for the wheelchair guy in family guy is fucking everywhere and it's always such a jumpscare because you can IMMEDIATELY tell it's him
he's a busy fellow, also looks just like you'd expect him to with that voice
Hunk man voice
But does he have range or is his voice too iconic to change?
He always sounds the same to me.
He has a slight difference in some characters but yeah its 100% just that same voice. Just sometimes its more booming and deep and sometimes its less...I dunno how to describe it..."hollow" sounding
Made this for the White Hat Zombies
If you are going to believe that there are secret good guys in white hats that are really in control then you might as well believe in the Easter Bunny.
And your fairy tail might as well be Cowboy Tough.
There are no good guys in white hats doing the job that you need to be doing. Time to wake up, put on your own damn hat, and start fixing things. Cowboy Up!

I’ll tell you, a LOT of time is wasted in public schools because teachers are trying to teach a classroom of 30+ kids with wildly different ability levels and learning styles and levels of motivation…
I regularly have lessons that take me the whole class period to go through with some students, while others will finish the work independently in 15 minutes.
When you homeschool, you know your kids. You know their interests, what comes easy to them and what’s a challenge, and most of all you aren’t bound by a school bell schedule.
Your kids can spend more time on what they struggle with and breeze through the things that come easy, and easily do the amount of work in 2 hours that a public school student does in a whole day.
In fact, taking the four core subjects (math, reading/writing, science, and history), and assuming that a kid working at their own pace might finish a public school’s 50-minute lesson in 20 minutes, that’s 1 hour and 20 minutes of work time. Add in breaks and allow for a little more time on a challenging topic, and yeah, you’re at about 2 hours.
This post implies that art, music, and other similar activities are not part of the 2 hours (he says art is part of “the rest of the time.”)
At my campus (middle school, so grades 6-8/ages 11-14) students have 7 classes in a day. 4 of those are the 4 core subjects I mentioned earlier. The other 3 are electives, such as art, choir, band, orchestra, etc., as well as elective advanced classes and remedial level intervention classes. Add in lunch and passing periods, and more of the day is spent on things other than those 4 core subjects.
So yes, you’re going to cover more ground academically in less time if you homeschool, leaving time for all the things mentioned in the tweet - especially opportunities for kids to pursue their actual areas of interest, rather than the “electives” the school allows. You have time for piano lessons or sports or art or whatever else they want to pursue.
This is why I, as a public school teacher, urge parents to homeschool their kids.
school also does a lot of “memorize this stuff because it’s in the book. waste time doing pointless tasks. spend your evening doing irrelevant homework”

needle/pin sharpener.
no really, squeeze it. Does it feel like it’s got sand in it? is’s sharpening sand. Stab the tip of your needle into it back and forth and it’ll help put a sharp edge back on a pin or needle that’s been blunted by use, or has a little bit of rust on it. It can’t fix anything worse then a little of either, and won’t work on something REALLY blunted, but its a lifesaver.
also it is a pepper
It's not a pepper and it's not for sharpening!!
It may seem like it should be a pepper, since that would go better with the flavour of a tomato (and the mass produced modern ones are admittedly more pepper shaped), but it is and has always been a strawberry. Here are some antique emery strawberries, which are much more strawberry shaped, and some of them have seeds.

And it's for cleaning needles, not sharpening them. I can't imagine how jamming a blunt needle point around in a bunch of loose grit could possibly sharpen it in any significant way, and all the historical sources I've seen only talk about cleaning.
"Every sewer's work basket or work box should contain an emery bag, as shown in Fig. 2, through which to push a needle when it becomes rough, squeaks, or sticks in the material. An emery bag is usually shaped like a strawberry and consists of a rough denim bag filled with emery powder, which is a very hard material used for polishing metals. Such a bag may be purchased for 5 or 10 cents in any store that sells sewing materials. Needles often become rusted from the perspiration of the hands or from being left in damp places. The beginner may use a small emery bag to remove rust; or, a small piece of emery paper may be used instead."
"Use an emery whenever your needle does not slip through the cloth easily."
"An emery bag is inexpensive and is useful to keep needles polished and smooth. If the hands perspire and it is difficult to push the needle through the cloth, running the needle through the emery will relieve the condition."
"It was very hot to sit and sew. The needle would get sticky in spite of all the little emery strawberry could give it, and Beth's fingers had never felt so clumsy and uncomfortable."
"She polished her needles to nothing, pushing them in and out of the emery strawberry, but they always squeaked."
This patent from 1873 mentions an emery slab for sharpening pins, which is quite different from a cushion, and which sounds like it actually would work for sharpening.
"C is a slab of emery or other sharp and fine grit, for sharpening needles or pins"
Then later down the page it also says
"E is an emery cushion, secured in the body of the holder A, and is used for polishing needles and keeping them smooth."
So. Strawberry for cleaning. Not pepper for sharpening.
Gentle reminder - modern sewing tools are made from treated or plated metal, or stainless steel. In terms of human civilisation, this is a wild advance of technology. Needles are some of our oldest tools; rust was formerly ubiquitous, and attacked every form of everyday metal. A rusty needle tears fabric, or worse, stains it. The luxury and technology of rustproof needles and pins - forgotten in a few generations of human memory - and yet it is remembered in the strawberry. Memory is stored in the strawberry!
