Instead of a dark near-divorce, the final arc leans into the ultimate King of Queens theme: Doug and Carrie realizing they are terrible people, but they are absolutely perfect for each other.

Episode 10: "The Queens-St. Croix Continental"

  • The Plot: Instead of an apartment in Manhattan, Carrie wins a corporate promotion that requires her to spend three months in St. Croix.
  • The Chaos: Doug is thrilled because he gets the house to himself. He converts the living room into a permanent sports bar for Deacon and Danny. However, by day three, Doug is utterly helpless. He accidentally floods the basement (a callback to the mold saga) trying to wash his own clothes.
  • **The Twis

As someone that has spent well over 10 years immersed in the Spanish language (living in several different Spanish speaking countries and one of which I have residence in and almost citizenship) I can say with some authority that comprehensible input isn't enough. I've researched Dreaming Spanish from the wiki here and it seems like it hangs entirely on the idea of comprehensible input.

What about Dr. Paul Nation's 4 Strand theory? Are fundamentals, output, and mastery practice to be ignored?

Without immediate feedback, input even if 'i+1' can quite literally fall on deaf ears. Is no one here using retrieval practice?

We have learned so much about 'how to learn' that to place everythin

r/Buddhism•

It seems my years of effort and my daily practice of samadhi and metta meditation are all for naught. This pandemic has seen to have resulted in me acquiring an Us vs. Them attitude. I even told someone - shockingly - that there is now two sides in the world...

Clearly, I don't want to hold onto this attitude (otherwise I wouldn't have made the post) but alas, here I am, and I can't seem to shake it.

I want to just give people the benefit of the doubt, give them the most generous explanation for their behavior and beliefs. I want to open my heart to the world and not close it off like I seem to be doing.

Any practical tips?

I love Anathem by Neal Stephenson but prefer the FIRST half. The world building is incredible. But specifically, I was enthralled with the idea of the academic themes, the dedication to gaining knowledge of natural laws above all else, and the monk-life live they live in pursuit of it.

​

I really don't need a crazy Sci-fi plot with the Cousins and all that jazz so it doesn't have to necessarily be such a science-fiction-esque recommendation. What impressed upon me the most is that now I basically would want to sign up for a Math and at least go in as a Unarian myself!

​

Any ideas? Much appreciated! 'That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be.'

Greetings!

I run a nonprofit language academy (acaexplorers.com). Think of it like an after school program, like Boy Scouts, but incentivizing education and youth development.

Currently, they earn stamps on a Passport and Cards as they pass through four phases (The Scholar, The Philosopher, The Scientist, The Explorer). But they have to earn it and it isnt easy.

www.acaexplorers.com/virtual/school to see a beta version of a virtual platform of the Card/Passport in live action

The Cards are currently designed as Pokémon knockoffs, but I have had a lot of interest in making some kind of game out of them.

Not sure the best way to go about this... email might make more sense as mail is notoriously slow here. But we could try! Postcards too.

Anyway, I am from Chicago, lived in Colorado for many years, love traveling (lived in Spain for a year), and am currently living in a small town in Colombia. NOT Columbia.

I enjoy: dancing, hiking, reading, science, good coffee, pretending I know something about architecture (everything is a flying buttress if it believes in itself enough!), running, Star Trek, meditating, and photography. Maybe a few other things. Im trying to learn how to whistle loudly but it's a work in progress.

I am looking for a cheap Santa Claus outfit to wear around Christmas time for some of my younger family members.

Does anyone know of anywhere I should be looking to procure such an item?

Does anyone else often find that the random wikipedia articles tend to be a bit on the boring side? Once in a blue moon they are great, but most of the time it is a three sentence long blurb about some random war hero.

If you change it to this link (http://tools.wikimedia.de/~dapete/random/enwiki-featured.php) it will direct you to a random FEATURED wikipedia article, which I find to be much more interesting and useful.

I have several activities with tasks like "Clean 5 dishes" and often I find myself cleaning a lot more dishes! One of my main problems with procrastination, that MotivationRPG solves, is just getting started.

What if there was a way to reward doing extra? Could there be a way to give ourselves bonus EXP points?

This could really be a powerful tool - we could put in more general categories like "Meditate" and depending on how long we did it, how we felt we did, etc., we could assign ourselves a certain amount of points. Thoughts?

A friend of mine asked for help naming a coffee shop he wants to open.

-The location of said coffee shop is not yet known. Most likely to be in a bigger city.

-He likes the idea of a two word name, something that is unique, would be "brand-able" (Fat Tire, Blue Bottle)

Any ideas?

Just found out today that the Chemistry Department at my school awarded me a scholarship that covers full tuition next year. That is a shit ton of money. I'm still in shock.

Also, on Saturday, the girl I had a crush on told me she had a crush on me, and we've been seeing each other since.

This is my first post to r/happy, but I think I saved it for a good one!
