Grab a test prep study guide - GED, SAT, ... You can probably get a super cheap one at a used book store.

Maybe getting involved with local charitable organizations could help you find like-minded people - donating clothing or food or time to shelters for women leaving abusive situations.

Thank you for that. I'm not normally a podcast watcher and didn't know Jon had one. I'll check it out!

Our schools were closed Tuesday because some of the schools were voting locations.

Ohhh. Yeah. That makes more sense. 🤦

The speculation I saw yesterday was that after Ukraine falls, next are the baltics, Moldova, Poland, Taiwan, and South Korea.

Yeah. Worried about having to dip into savings for monthly expenses. I'm in Texas, so energy costs are always a concern. As you mentioned, concerned about delays and decreases in social security and Medicare in the future. I guess I'll leave money where it is, try to reduce spending, and try to increase liquid savings.

"I want a sandwich but i can't afford one. I guess I'll go watch porn and hire a prostitute."

I don't understand that.

I'm worried about my retirement savings. I hope to retire in 10 years and if i lose too much in the next 5, i don't have much time to build back up. Are you moving money?

I'm working on this, though i usually say - I'd rather get bitched at for doing it wrong than for not doing it. At my job it's to emphasize the stupidity of the task and the lack of training on a shitty system.

I work in a public school district and i visit about a dozen different schools. Bosses are making us share our calendars, thinking they'll be able to track us and catch us doing something wrong. I'm planning to add "started my period" every couple of weeks. Are there other good outlook tricks to fuck with them?

ETA- This is my work calendar, not my personal calendar. I know that seems reasonable but it's being done as a petty micromanagement tactic. There are about 20 of us in my department who drive from school to school every day working with kids with physical disabilities. They don't just want to know when we're in meetings - they want every minute of our day to be accounted for - 8 to 830 school A, 840 to 11 school B, etc. I go to 14 schools. If my kid at school A is absent or if i get a call from school J that i need to stop by to fix a wheelchair, am I supposed to pull over and update my calendar so they can find me? I could spend an hour a day in parking lots editing my calendar. Most days i eat lunch in my car between schools. Last year they made a rule that we can't carry to-go cups because it looks like we have enough free time to drive thru Starbucks. It's just to be controlling.

 

I'm non-techy. I work for a public school district and visit with kids in about a dozen schools. I like having my work email on my phone so teachers can get in touch if they need me. For years we've just used the outlook app with no real issues that I've noticed. We're seeing more and more micromanagement and it sucks. We recently got notice that we have to install Cisco Duo on our phones if we want to have our email on it. Should i do that? Or just say no and be ok with being out of contact?

 

If you use "they" to describe a nameless group of people and you mean anyone other than The Man (That's how they get you.), you're probably the one who's wrong.

Looking forward to reading some fun exceptions.

 

I'm not great at determining when something is AI. Is there an app or community for asking if an image is real or AI?

 

Where's the button to set default comment sorting?

 

I got a good deal on some pecan and i was planning to use it to build patio furniture. I don't know much about pecan and I'm having trouble finding much info about it. Is this a good wood for outdoor use or should i find an indoor project for it?

 

It was initially used by BP to shift blame to consumers instead of oil companies.

 

Image popped up. I reported it as 'not labeled nsfw'. Just as it was going i saw that it was labeled but the app i was using (liftoff) must have missed it.
