sorry
the 1st sentence is what right wingers say all the time - they are constantly going on about the evils of public school teacher unions, how the unions make it so the teachers are grossly overpaid and don't have to work

it is , afaik, almost a std GOP meme

@inthehands
also
public school teachers are grossly overpaid and barely work

and, at the same time
every public school district: we are having trouble hiring and retaining teachers

@inthehands

Voting matters
Getting registered to vote matter
or so I infer

@libreoffice

can I make a request

for some reason, and this could be 100% a me problem, I find calc ugly
it just looks bad on my screen
maybe this is cause I am used to excel; dunno

also the whole GUI for scattergrams sucks; the options are the wrong one, the defaults are wont, etc etc
there are all sorts of great programs (or were) like Kaleidagraph, you can use as models
I understand that free advice (me) is worth what you pay for it, or possibly less

I tried google to see if Binet was a white supremicist person
I was unable to find a clear, direct answer, but I did see links claiming his test was reasonable and that IQ was then corrupted by American reacists

@kaia as someone who had to ride with 3 or even 4 people in a 1970s pickup, longer cabs are a great thing, a real blessing

also, this is really not an accurate picture of Ford F150s: it cherry picks data to give a misleading impression

@pseudonym
These things, if you made them, would cost a fortune
honestly
why ?

volume: you are talking non standard parts made in relatively low volume and that costs a lot of money

also, these things won't work that well cause no one remembers how to build them right, so the first 5 years the engineers will be relearning how to make them and the things will break all the time

@hankg

isn't there a famous video interview of B Gates

So we bought the rights to DOS from Seattle for $50,000

[ replay]
we bought the rights for $50,000

$50,000

the entire foundation of MS

@jimcarroll This might well be true, but I would like to see a link with some solid data to show that today's weather forecasts are less accurate cause as far as I know accuracy is mainly about computer power and computers, you might know, have been getting cheaper

@kravietz
In 1978, I went to Moscow in 1978, on a trip organized by my university
I had, as had any educated person, read of foodlines in the USSR
but reading is one thing; seeing a blocks long queue of middle class people lined up for Cuban oranges, to actually see that, wow

I also recall the military at customs and immigration on entering the Soviet Union
"scary"

@yaneerbaryam @whn is it "associated with" or "there is a correlation with" ?

maybe kids who got covid, a rather odd group, right ? were sicker to begin with ?
??

@plaguepoems
In Halberstam's Best and Brightest ( a great book) someone says to Dean Rusk,

SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

you look tired
Rusk: our kid has diphtheria and we were up all night boiling the sheets

Person: Mr Secretary, we have people for that

@Gargron

maybe this is just me, but over the last year or so, I have observed that many websites for large corporations (large) don't work with FireFox

YMMV

I am NOT a programmer, but this seems to me reasonable: you can't expect a bank or some such to cater to every browser

@inthehands

sigh
over the last 20 years, every 3 or 4 years, I attempt to use rules in outlook to control the flow of email

probably just me, but I can't get even the *simplest rule (fwd email from senderx to folder y) to work reliably which is a pretty awesome testimony to the teams that B Gates hired <sarcasm/>

@inthehands
Paul - how do I do this autoroute to spam reporting thing ?

asking for about 325,000,000 tech challenged people

@JonChevreau

you all remember after Jan 6th, Toyota said it wouldn't give money to any GOP candidate or elected official that voted to not certify vote

and a month or so later, when no one was looking, toyota (and, I assume all the other companies) just went back to giving money to the traitorous GOP

@Trilobyter

are we in a #ClimateCrisis or aren't we ?

If we are, are we (including me) allowed to drive 225 miles to take a photo of something that everyone else on earth is also photographing ?

@feditips

being an old, grouchy, cantankerous sort of person, what I would like is something that blocks all emojis

and I will bet dollars to donuts that there are at least 3 or 4 other people in the fediverse (? fediversers or mastodoneers) who agree with me !!

@jplebreton @parismarx

do you have any specific, concrete suggestions for what "full scale assault . ." means ?

I mean, what do I or you do today, next month, next year ?

maybe I am sensitive cause I'm Jewish, but I terminated by twitter account the day Musk welcomed a holocaust denier back

but beyond that, and aside from voting for progressives, what do I do ???

@mhoye

I have had 4 or 5 toots about this in my timeline, but not one about the fingerprint protection which for me is way more important, but that is just me
