What is the context for this? I gather it's some sort of poll, but it doesn't seem to be linked anywhere in the thread.

He's also a part owner of the St Paul Saints.

I switched from portainer to komodo and really like it. After portainer's announcement I wanted something fully open source so I wouldn't have to do this again in the future.

9 grain bread, toasted, with crunchy peanut butter spread on it. While the bread toasts I feed the dog and make my wife's coffee.

He knew that it was what he decided he had heard

Don't forget the dick pics

Location-p/v-function-##. We try to make it as easy as possible to tell at a glance what the server does when you get paged at 3am.

Jeans and a polo for in office, whatever pants / shorts I can reach plus a polo for wfh (I usually have some meetings that I need to be in)

Yes. First off the 30+ chrome books are substantially less powerful and use fewer resources than enterprise based laptops and desktop. They also aren't connected to power, monitors, and wired network for 8 hours straight like in an office. You also specifically want wired network drops for office workers. Wifi is half-duplex (it can send or receive at any given moment, instead of wired networking which can do both simultaneously) which makes a big difference when you've got people in different video conference calls. Keep in mind "administration" isn't just senior management it's everyone who isn't a teacher. IT has different needs than legal, who has different needs than payroll, etc. You need conference rooms. You need private spaces for HR to handle sensative meetings. You need to move the IT data center out of the downtown office, and redesigning that to fit in an elementary. The HVAC systems aren't up to snuff already in most of the schools being closed before you start loading them up with office equipment. All of these are things that can be fixed, but it's going to be really expensive to do it. Which just eats into the money that you would "save" by selling the district office, assuming that you can even get someone to buy it when there are already move in ready office spaces sitting vacant downtown.

My wife works at James John and is going to be out of a job next year. My son is two years away from being school aged. This change directly negatively affects my family. I hate it, but it's still probably the right move (or least worse move) given the financial and demographical state of the district.

It really shouldn't. Like it sounds good, but if you put about 15 minutes of thought into it you'd see why it's bad. Classrooms don't have the electical, hvac, or IT infrastructure necessary for a bunch of cubicles. Furthermore, unlike office buildings which are designed to be reconfigurable when needs change, classrooms are built to follow a layout that hasn't really changed substantially in 200 years. It would be spending money that the district doesn't have on a consultant to tell them what any of their facilities managers could tell them is a bad idea. We all like to blame "administration" for the problems (and yeah there definitely is some blame that absolutely needs to fall on them) but you need to keep in mind that "administration" includes finance, IT, HR, payroll, labor relations, facilities management, legal, and a bunch of other people who need office space to do their jobs. An office is much better suited for that.

But all of that ignores the base problems that the district is facing, chronic underfunding and a declining enrollment. The district's mismanagement has exacerbated the problem, and does need to be addressed, but short of a bunch of school aged familes moving into the district and they all donate a ton of money into the district charity there isn't a ton that can be done about it.

Selling the HQ would lead to a one time infusion of cash and may be worth investigating, but it doesn't solve the structural issue of having more schools than students to support them. It doesn't solve the decades of underfunding education in this state and city. It does nothing to affect the structural issues that the district faces.

The speed limit is 25, which is what I do when I'm on Willamette.

But if we are going to play the projection game, you sound like the assholes who want to do 50+ down a residential street because their daddy never said that they were proud of you and now crave attention in any way that they can get it.

Knife a couple of times a day. I use it for opening stuff, cutting zip ties, cutting random stuff that needs to be cut. Flashlight I use 4-5 days a week. I use it for looking for things under desks, looking for small stuff. I have a small kid, so frequently have to find stuff under couches. It also has a strong magnet on the tail, which I use a couple of times a week to activate the magnetic child drawer locks. I didn't count that as a flashlight use, because I don't actually use the light for it, but it is something that I use my flashlight for.

Yeah, no matter how fast I went on Willamette a car behind me would want to go 10mph faster. Eventually I just stopped giving a fuck and set my cruise control to the speed limit.

The Salish Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean. If you walk west from downtown Seattle the second your feet get wet, you are in the Pacific. If a vessel is docked at Seattle (and not on the lake side) the water they are floating in is the Pacific Ocean.

Then OP should have said that and not claimed that Seattle wasn't on the Pacific. There are plenty of places on other coasts that are hard to get to, but they are still "on the coast". There are big differences between a place being harder to get to than a different place on the coast and it being inland. Seattle is not inland by any commonly used definition of "inland"

The port of San Francisco is on the bay side. But more importantly, the Salish Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean. Look at Seattle on a map, that blue stuff is the Pacific Ocean.

How is Seattle inland and not directly coastal? It’s literally on the Salish Sea, the same body of water than Vancouver is. How on earth does the San Francisco bay count while a body of water much larger not count?

Yes, Louisiana ex rel. Francis v. Resweber (1947). If they aren't intentionally fucking up the procedure, the death penalty still applies and the state can carry out the sentence.

Same inspo, different names. 10-Forward, Quarks, Kirk’s-Bar (I couldn’t find the actual name from Lower Decks)

Yeah. He's also the main funding source. It's not a charitable donation, but he actively funds one of the largest art organizations in the city.

He does. It's called LAIKA studios

Neither did Gary Anderson, until he did.

In the most heartbreaking way possible.
