Our middle son, a redhead, is also a Pumpkin! 
The best hat is what I call the Holden Caulfield hat, the one with the ear flaps. I wear one every winter (not red.)
That is not a subject that a high school teacher ought to be assigning for debate.
Yeah. For one thing, there’s no reasonable argument that can be made for being a Nazi. I don’t see the educational value in having kids engage in an obviously one-sided debate.
For another thing, it’s just asking for trouble.
But it’s a historical fact that people did become Nazis. And I think it’s certainly worth looking at the reasons why they did so—what it was about Nazism that they found attractive or compelling.
Though, yes, it is problematic to assign it as a debate topic to high schoolers and have them argue for Nazism.
(And, arguably, one way to learn that there is no reasonable argument that can be made for being a Nazi is being compelled to look for one.)
I can see it, presented in a careful fashion, in an upper level college course for serious history majors.
Not in a high school class in our current state of civilization. In fact, I’d be highly suspicious of any high school teacher who tried to pull that one.
It is all too likely that there will be somebody in a current high school class who can be convinced that there are reasonable arguments for being a Nazi. Or even who already is one.
(Note: I am most definitely not saying that there are such arguments. Only that very unfortunately, but obviously, people exist who think that there are.)
After turning 40 I decided I had aged out of the casual baseball cap and after trying a variety of styles I found I like a nice no-feather trilby hat. Straw, felt, leather, burlap, I’ve got one for any occasion.
From, the poll results, I might be the only person on the Dope with an Ember cup. My partner’s workplace was giving them out. So far, the best thing about it is that I was able to vote in that poll.
The necessary, accompanying app is fiddly, constantly resets itself and chews through battery. The cup keeps liquids warm, but then they taste stewed. I would occasionally use it for herbal tea, except that the app was so bad. Maybe it works better for baby bottles.
Regarding my job: I’m retired, and picked that I tolerated it. But actually it’s a little more complicated.
I had one job for 17 years which I loved. Then I was layed off and found another job, which I liked fine. I was there about two years, then got layed off again. Next I got another job which I hated, so I decided to retire.
If I’m downloading a bunch of photos, I label the folder with something descriptive, and then dump them all in there. Then, if I’m looking for a photo, I’ll view it in thumbnail mode.
Several hundred all at once? Yeah, I’d categorize them by folder; then name individual ones if and as I had the need to.
And the names would probably be a combination of those styles – ‘ Market 6-26-21 1’, Market 6-26-21 2’, etc.
I’ll debate anything if asked to, on any side, if everyone understands that it’s for an educational or intellectual purpose. Having what I say taken out of context doesn’t bother me all that much. I’ll know my own motivation, and there would be witnesses to back me up if necessary.
Photos will go in a folder, and both the folder and the individual photos will get name which start with the date, and then the place, if it is identifiable, and then a sequential number. If there are less than 100 photos with the same date, I might use a 3 digit sequence, starting with 001:YYYY-MM-DD_Place_001
I’m not going to spend time giving individual names to hundreds of photos. They’re all going to end up in Google Photos anyway, and once they’re there I can search them by date, content, etc. Any unique name is fine with me.
Copying hundreds of photos to my PC is something I actually do occasionally. I tend to take hundreds of photos when I go on vacation, and when I get home I need to copy them off of my memory card. I do the same thing other people have said – I create a folder with a descriptive name, like “Greece 2019”. Then I just copy all the pictures to that folder, with whatever default name the camera gave them, typically something like IMG_0001.jpg.
I’ll then go through them some time later, pick out the few I think are particularly good, and post those to Facebook, where I’ll give them a descriptive caption.
I lied in that poll. The true answer is that I’ll intend to name them all and put them in relevant folders, but what I’ll actually do is copy them over to the hard drive as is, intending to organize and rename them later. It’s exactly the same as the shoeboxes I used to put packets of physical photos in, intending to go through and put some in albums later.
I know I’m kind of fighting the hypothetical, but all my photos are in Google Photos. The only reason I’d be copying photos onto my computer would be as a temporary staging area before I copy them to Google Photos and then delete them from the computer. So I’m not going to spend any time giving them names. Once they’re in Google Photos I can search them by date, location, content, etc. so it doesn’t matter what the names are.
When you say “content,” do you mean that google knows your nephew Frank from your nephew Albert?
My photos all come with names, from the camera (which might be my phone.) The names are something like DCSyearmonthday-number. Or sometimes just some initial letters and a sequence number. But i have zero reason to create a meaningless name when they already have names that tell me which device took them and where they are chronologically compared to other photos from that device.
My cousin got into my images and decided they needed cute, descriptive names, instead of the IM004026.jpg etc. Which sucked for me because renaming them threw the entire directory out of sequence (the camera generated names and file mod dates reflected the order of shooting).
I take way too many pictures – several hundred shots, mostly crap, to get the one good one, and naming them all is just pointless. I just put them in a location directory inside the year directory and use thumbnails and quicklook to find what I want. Being in sequential order helps a lot (my memory is still pretty good, so far).
