I find it WILD that any school authority would stick with PowerSchool after all this drama

I don't necessarily disagree but… My family's home is 2200 square feet total, not counting the small two-car garage. There's six of us living here. Sure, we have some extra spaces that we don't "need" like a second room with couches. But if you added up the amount of space we use for storage, not including the bedroom closets, we're easily using 700 square feet to store things like sports gear, seasonal things, games, etc. (That's not counting the stuff "required" to live on 1/3 acre, which is irellevant when comparing to an apartment.)

I think we could feasibly live in 1500 with the only downside being having to share spaces with people doing other things more often.

Sure, a "young family" with 2-3 kids could live in that 1100 square foot space. But I posit they'd need 500 more somewhere in which to store their junk.

I count 17 individual things. (counting patent medicines and soothing syrups, tobacco and cigarettes, liquor and strong drink, and the pop line as one-item combo words)
7 of the 17 are not of European origin.
How much of this drunkard-grave fear mongering is actually just xenophobia?

Talk about a bypass

So very penitential

I'm willing to bet that a supermajority of the people sharing this would reconsider having that stance when they realise the cost and lifespan of a product sold with a single payment that's going to work flawlessly

Classic clip:

A guys calls into CBC Radio in Saskatchewan in early spring/late winter because it was going to be -1º on the weekend and he had enough of the announcers talking about how it was going to be "nice"

I'm coming up with a list of topics that are relevant to non-technical teaching and office staff, to address in a rotation in an internal, monthly newsletter from the IT department. What am I missing?

First time playing with Makedo and I’m not sure if it was a gift for me or the kids

I can't help but think The Orchard are a bunch of dufuses

The best thing about this strip is the future generations that have been inspired by Calvin to build the best snow creatures https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2024/12/10

In case capital punishment as a reality show doesn't work out.
