I taught last year in a district near Dallas, TX where 70% of students were on a free or reduced lunch plan. This year, I am teaching in a district near Portland, OR where breakfast and lunch is free for every student, as it should be.
I know someone who died from huffing heroin pills.
The Air Force once injected an unsolved, 1000-year-old mathematical puzzle written in another language into the game Prometheus, and an unemployed college dropout genius who lived with his mom solved it, got recruited to participate in a highly classified mission to the planet P4X-351 where he, a crew of Air Force officers and personnel, and a few civilian scientists ended up being forced to evacuate due to an impending planet-wide explosion (as well as an aerial assault by a band of space pirates) by jumping through a stable wormhole whose terminus was aboard the starship Destiny - an abandoned scientific vessel launched one million years prior by a species known as The Ancients who had planned to use it to travel to the center of the known universe.
Oh no…there’s no modifying of a school district’s technology allowed. That’s just not a thing, at least not that I’ve heard of in the US. Thanks for the recommendations, though, maybe it’ll help someone else.
Oh I know, but it’s not about the charger at this point; it’s about the company and their stupid, stupid operating system that is dumb.
I hate Apple so god damned much. When I got started in 2003 with the cohort I was in for my elementary education degree, the university required us to get an Apple MacBook G4. We weren’t allowed to choose any other laptop, just that one, and we had to get it from the campus computer store (so of course the school was getting a kickback 🖕).
The power cord on those had a weird round dongle on the end that plugged into the computer. In the center of the dongle was a very thin pin. So, of course, I accidentally tripped on it, and the pin snapped off inside the computer. Easy enough to remove, but it meant I had to buy a brand new adapter to do my coursework.
$80.
Eighty fucking dollars. And there were no third-party adapters at the time (at least when I looked). Oh, and that replacement adapter? CAUGHT ON FUCKING FIRE.
I have not spend a dime on anything Apple touches since then. I’ve been issued iPads by school districts for which I’ve worked in the past, but those pretty much stay locked up in my cabinet. Nope…no Apple Music, no Apple TV, not even a covered-by-the-district $1.99 app for my school iPad.
Luckily, as teacher, I’ve either been issued a Dell or at the very least a MacBook Air with Windows 10 bootcamped every year since. Unfortunately, I am in a new district in Oregon this year (had been in Texas), and my device this year is a non-bootcampable MacBook Air. 🤬

I like how they described that drawing as “life-sized”. I don’t believe them, but it gave me a giggle.
“Pol Pot, amirite? That li’l ragamuffin, huh? Such a character.”
I know someone who’s gonna be really disappointed.
I dunno, man, she wouldn’t have much of a crowd to perform to since malls these days are pretty much dead. I’m at a local mall right now (getting a kiosk phone case), but there doesn’t seem to be anyone around.
Eat it with your hands? Not on my watch.
Did one of the kids die, or did they get Tuvixed?
I grew up in Arlington, TX and can confirm this is true. For our field trip every year, we’d go to the Southwest Airlines warehouse and take the tour. And by “tour”, I mean we’d wait 15 minutes outside while our teacher got our wristbands, and we’d go in and look at the Commodore 64. Then we’d leave and eat our sack lunches.
OH…and the guy didn’t have a mini-bat. It was full size, and any snotty 10-year-old getting his grubby little hands anywhere near ol’ Tandy 400, he’d go “Uh uh uh!” and point at the bat.
A relationship isn’t LGBT; a person is. A cishet man who has two bi/pan female partners who date each other isn’t LGBT because his partners are queer.
