r/Charleston•

A police escort blocked the intersection between Trident and CSU, and I have never seen anything like it.

I was driving over the overpass from Ladson to North Charleston, and I could see the accident on 26 as we passed. Approaching the light, we heard, then saw a train of Cruisers and NCPD pickups rocket up the ramp, all lights and sirens past the line of traffic, and they stopped all lanes of traffic in both directions instantly in a maneuver so beautifully executed that my wife said it looked like a football play. How do you even coordinate something like that in that short amount of time??

The ambulance they were escorting raced through and straight to Trident without having to stop at

r/Teachers•

I have just accepted a job teaching computer science at a middle school. I took a huge pay cut to do this. I want to succeed. Teaching is what I have always wanted to do, and this is a great school.

I struggle with classroom management because it forces me to act insincerely, behaving in a way that is inconsistent with my personality. I want to be genuine with these kids. This leaves me constantly chasing them and correcting them to get anything done, and that is awful. I know it. I need to get a handle on it.

Second, There was no established curriculum beyond the state standards when I came in. I feel like I am flying by the seat of my pants when it comes to my lessons. I am trying to get

I did not realize how popular it was until I started googling some of the ideas in the book and found out that Netflix had made it into a Sandra Bullock thing ( doesn’t fit the character of Mallory for me, but I will probably still watch it).

Anyway, it was smart, suspenseful, and I thought a very original approach to the post apocalyptic genre.

It was a great thought experiment. How would you survive in a post apocalyptic world of no one could see? There were definitely a couple of plot holes, but overall, I thought it was handled pretty well.

r/books•

The book was great. I didn't know anything about the author - the book just came up in my suggested titles on my Overdrive app, I liked the summary, and I have been trying to read more books written by women.

The protagonist is a nurse at an advanced medical research facility founded by his recently deceased genius scientist mother. He has a secret super power. He works on weekends doing marketing events for a toy store dressed as a popular comic book movie character with the same power. He goes out one night and gets black-out drunk, and then shows up at an event in his super suit bloody and hung over. The rest of the story is like Dude Where's My Car with super-science and baby-mama dr

r/Breadit•

I made this, twice:

and the first step says: "Mix all of the ingredients in the order listed"

The first time I made it, I did that. It came out perfect. Best sandwich bread I had ever made.

For my second attempt, I got experimental. All of the tips everywhere say not to put the salt in too soon or you will kill your yeast. I thought, I will wait until I have added a little flour before adding the salt, maybe I will get an even better spring, a softer fluffier loaf.

Fast-forward about 15 minutes, and the dough is completely formed, and I have forgotten my salt.

I toss the dough back into the mixer, spri

r/Frugal•

Now what? We have a family of four, and two of them are picky eaters. I have baked a few loaves of bread, but never an acceptable sandwich loaf. I have to make this work.

What is your best and simplest sandwich bread recipe?

I am going to start here: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/king-arthurs-classic-white-bread-recipe

But I am looking to experiment until I get it right.


Edit: Thanks, everyone. Success!

I ended up using the KA recipe - many people said it was fool proof. I have made many sourdough boules and a few different bun and roll recipes, and this is by far the best loaf of bread I have ever made.
