lol, I had forgotten about that one. Gave me a good chuckle.

I’m actually inspired. We need more of this!

Oh and, anyone from Paramount* thinking of a new Star Trek series should read these comments and watch every episode mentioned. THIS is what makes Star Trek great, not any of its action or temporal timelines.

*Or writers

Great job Coloradans!

Great answer getting to the point of the question.

Tom’s hardware is still good.

Public schools are there to provide the bare minimum education for the lowest possible cost. They’re not there to create genius.

They are now, that’s not how they started way back when. That’s the problem.

This needs some serious regulation, just as credit card APRs do. Not likely to happen in this administration!

So he has a line, it’s just squiggly.

Exactly!

I went out to some stores and got him driving on an interstate for the first time as a student driver today. It is gorgeous out and we just enjoyed each others company for a few hours.

Great response honestly.

The public education system in the US is garbage and has been since no child left behind and standardized testing was implemented. Rich people don’t send their kids to public schools because the education in the private and charter system is that much better where a large portion teach classical education and don’t feel pressured to teach to tests (that don’t tell you anything about someone’s knowledge). Rote knowledge/learning doesn’t work for the vast majority. Teaching critical thinking does.

I don’t know that putting the education of our children in the states hands (increasing state sovereignty) is the right call but I don’t know that it isn’t. What I do know is that doing it the knee-jerk reaction way that they are is outright idiotic and causing more harm quickly than it needs to.

Technically that’s a Drain tech. A plumber will almost certainly tell you they don’t unclog drains (even though there is GREAT money in it, since no one wants to do it themselves, but will complain about the price anyway).

There’s a lot of different pay plans out there. No idea what roto rooter is paying their techs these days.

Pay is great in my opinion for apprentices but the hours are tough. You will definitely learn a shit load quickly if you pay attention, ask questions, and find a company/lead that doesn’t treat you like shit.

You see what you want to see.

Things aren’t great but not “everything is shit.”

Because SMB works reliably on macOS. Never had an issue. I also prefer Cyberduck and actual sftp so … take my word with a grain of salt.

Galveston Island, TX for a family get together later this year. We just got back from Alaska and it was a pretty great trip.

Oh, nice!

If any good news comes out of this it would be 7million people having nothing to lose so they riot and take over the agencies. Couldn’t say I’d blame them. My parents are retired and living partially on SSI as well. There are a lot of boomers out there that this admin is about to flip from MAGA to give me my money back party and they’re loud.

Yeah, it’s called whatever social media site/app is popular currently.
