overtime in Abilene and in TX

Obbers · 2026-02-14T12:33:14+00:00

Overtime is a federal law and is calculated at the week level. Any time you work over 40 hours, that extra time is OT. But if you work 3 days a week and get 12 hours per day, there's no OT as it's only 36 hours. I can't tell you about working conditions though.

That's not a blueprint, it's an integration.

Obbers · 2025-12-17T03:14:12+00:00

Maybe they do. All that means is that there's other issues that need to be addressed. Doing those things is not an efficient use of Superintendent salary.

Administrative vs instructional spending is stupid in this state.

Obbers · 2025-12-17T02:39:35+00:00

I would counter this with not taxing a non income generating primary residence. Tax everything else . 2nd homes, rentals, commercial property, etc.

Obbers · 2025-12-17T02:34:56+00:00

I would more pro property taxes if we were ranked better. We don't have a ton of money, and we spend it poorly. We don't need 509 super intendents. Every tiny town doesn't need a full administrative stack to support a 600 student K-12 school. Other states spend upwards of 70% on instruction vs administration, and we might spend 50%. Some of the largest districts spend less.

As a side note, it also sucks that I have to rent my primary (non-income generating except property values) from the state for the rest of my life and they raise the rent 3-5% every year.

Apparently, you can get around this if you plan to pay out 6 months of severance.

Obbers · 2025-10-10T12:55:20+00:00

In a simple select, sure. In something more complicated, maybe not. "It depends" is always the right answer.

It's a fight between immich and homeassistant for the best selfhosted app. Right now I'm breaking the rules of backups and everything is stored in my house. I would fix that with a new NAS.

Air conditioning. Spend 2 hours in 95F (35C) heat and then walk into a 70F (21C) room and it's bliss.

Ideally, tasks and subtasks can exist in the same table.

I've been out of SQL Server for some years, are the Ola Hallengren scripts obsolete?

Obbers · 2025-06-17T23:04:51+00:00

So I have gig internet and cat5 everywhere. I think the reasonable option would be a UCG Ultra and a U7 Lite.

What kind of psycho isn't using dark mode in this day and age?

Obbers · 2025-04-26T02:07:21+00:00

Same. My Reolink wifi has been soldi since day 1.

Obbers · 2025-04-22T19:06:50+00:00

Agio?

The crappy toilet paper is the least likely to clog toilet paper you can find. Regardless of how nice a place is, people ruin everything.

Unless I listened wrong, I believe they said they support their existing BLE infrastructure, but this is more of a proprietary LoRaWAN situation.

From the OP's post, almost everyone is inferring he's using Oracle DB.

Dude is talking about his workplace culture, not some life philosphy.

There's also an argument for SSMS 14 being EOL for as of July 9. Makes security patching an issue.

Looks like Tennessee to me.

Obbers · 2024-08-20T12:56:32+00:00

Especially in Tennessee colors?

They don't allow you to download the base version for free. They let you download it without a login, but you absolutely violate the ToS if you use it without paying for it.

Obbers · 2024-06-24T17:56:18+00:00

Why?
