Careful! You might run in to a Venetian who can’t pardon a word which slanders his nation.

How long until your phone won’t let you take pictures of certain things?

Did we ever get that follow-up from 6-12 months later?

I don’t buy the queue argument. It would devolve in to a bunch of churn inevitably resulting in thrown hands and black eyes.

They’re doing a military job that involves “rooms without windows” and potentially emergency situations.

Autonomy and better funding have done absolutely nothing in some US school districts that are perennially near the top in terms of money spent per pupil. In order for things to change:

1. Parents have to care

2. Parents need to know how to support education at home

Both of those are sorely lacking in said districts.

No local politician likes that because it means pointing the finger of blame at the electorate (being the parents).

I don’t know what the answer is.

> maliciously targeting politicians and police

I hadn’t heard anything like this. Can you provide details?

White tailed deer on the east coast and midwest are in a similar size range.

How much if this comes out of student fees versus other athletic department revenue?

Don’t forget the endless stories about APL and its derivatives.

Get an emergency radio. They’re not expensive.

No. I deboned my turkey and smoked it. It was great.

How do you maintain food safety? Using human waste seems dangerous. Harmful bacteria would be part of it, but I’d worry about accumulating pharmaceuticals, etc., in it, which feudal Japanese people probably didn’t have to worry about.

How many of the people responsible for this decision send their kids/grandkids to private school?

It was the NRO in 2012. I don’t know if the CIA operates satellites itself.

Why is alfalfa worth so much less?

Can we leave this stuff to that other link aggregator?

Quantum computing solves RSA.

That’s why you use your pinkie for that and not other fingers.

You’d be surprised how many weapon systems used by the US military were not developed domestically.

I learned spades from black students in college. My friends came up with a variation called “Nil Watch”, where one player in each partnership had to bid nil unless logically impossible (holding the big joker, holding the little joker and the 2, etc.). Then there was the drinking game version of that, called Death Watch.

We used the jokers and the two of spades as trumps, but not the two of diamonds. We pulled out the two of hearts and the two of diamonds.

Eve Online, probably.

FTA:

> She's gone now, too, like all of the real elders in my family.

If we're lucky, someday we'll become the real elders of our families.

And Berlin 1936.

The kind that doesn’t want to deal with Europe’s laws, for better or worse.

Bourne shell, bash, etc. are all “on error resume next” by default. You have to `set -euo pipefail` explicitly.

That only works for some students. Others will simply fail. Fifth grade is far too young to condemn a student just because they’re too young to understand the consequences of their inaction and come from a shitty household incapable of teaching that lesson.

That being said, it’s only acceptable IMO when:

1. It’s only on school-issued equipment.

2. It’s only during hours when the school is responsible for the pupil.

3. What’s being monitored and recorded is stated explicitly in and limited to a document that is distributed to students and parents when the equipment is issued.

4. When screen grabbers or Remote Desktop are used, the student is given some kind of obvious on-screen warning that they are being surveiled in real time.

Spying off hours is unacceptable, but during class teachers should be able to see what students are doing on district-provided equipment.

Some of these failing school systems (Baltimore, MD & Prince George’s County, MD) have some of the highest budgets per pupil in the country. The problem isn’t money.

Sometimes I feel like it's already happened.
