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

Ohhh. Yeah. That makes more sense. ๐Ÿคฆ

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?

Watching or performing?

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.

There have been several polls. We're older and more female than you think.

I use an ipad at work and use ajournal to write down my schedule for each day. I like that it pulls in my outlook items and that is easy to edit- write, erase, drag to another day. I don't like that it's not backed up anywhere so when i lost my iPad anything not done/documented is lost forever. When i get super freaked out about that i take a screenshot.

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?

 

It's like a dental retainer with a touchpad to control devices with your tongue.

What should I buy? (lemmy.world)

Sorry if this is not the right community for this. In the US. I currently have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The air suspension was awesome, but now that it's failing it's driving me crazy so I'm looking for something new. I haul wheelchairs and similarly- sized stuff for work so i need some cargo space. I'd love an SUV with second row captains seats and no third row. Does anyone make that? I'm leaning away from American cars, but can be swayed (my last two cars were Camaro and Jeep). I like things that look a little sporty with little/no chrome, a good amount of hp, and AWD is a plus. I usually drive 10-30 miles per day and get a $60/mo stipend- so about one tank of gas right now. I've browsed the websites for the new 4runner, Outback, Forester, Santa Fe, and a few others. Appreciate any ideas or opinions.

ETA- 6 months ago the dealer wanted $9k to replace the air suspension, so i went to a small Goodyear shop for $6k instead. That shop was bought by brakes plus and they won't honor any warranty. Dropped it at the dealer for diag this morning. Just got a call - $4800. I was expecting $9k. Now I'm on the fix it/trade it fence.

Oops! Friend reported this is not his. When he sent it to me i thought it was original . He was sharing it to me because he thought it was cool. Super kudos to the original artist. Sorry!

 

I don't really like Grandscape so that's kind of a turn off. It looks cool for a sporting event but I'm sure tickets and concessions are $$$. I would go for a planetarium or nature show if it was reasonably priced.

 

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.

 

You don't realize how weird lyrics are until you try to get an image that reflects them. I tried two Elton John songs in Craiyon and got scary monsters.

 

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?
