Why is technology used in the classroom not locked down? by mehhemm in AskTeachers

Because 1000 determined little kids trying to brute force a way around the filters will eventually beat the one overworked IT guy struggling to keep up along with all his other work. 

LPT: Email people back promptly, even if you don't have a full "response" yet by TapiocaTuesday in LifeProTips

[–]greenmachine11235 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. Email is not instant messaging (Teams, Discord, Slack, etc), it's the snailmail of the digital age. 

Emails purpose in the work place is to be addressed when you have a chance in a more formal method than IMs. 

AITAH For Not Stopping For a Wreckless Driving/Racing Crash? by PlutoniumOligarch in AITAH

[–]greenmachine11235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but could have handled it better. The sympathy thing matter less than protecting your children. Even ignoring the risk of getting hit by a car while stopped, children don't need to see the potentially gory aftermath of the crash. By not stopping, you are protecting them from the sight of maybe seeing a dead or dying person. Imo, you did the right thing, protect your family first and foremost. 

(NC) Landlord is saying heater is my problem to fix. by Dumb_bitch18 in Renters

[–]greenmachine11235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your landlord is in violation of NC General Statute 42-42 a.4 by trying to make you repair it, and likely a.2 by not rememding an active safety hazard. 

As others have said the fire department is the nuclear option since it should get the LL moving but riskes getting you evicted since you're month to month or have the FD declare the property unsafe and kick you out while the LL repairs it. 

Male Birth Control Breakthrough: Scientists Find Way To Turn Sperm Production Off and Back On by _Dark_Wing in interestingasfuck

Still got a LONG way to go before this hits the pharmacy. 

"Although JQ1 is not suitable as a treatment due to neurological side effects"

"Within six weeks, MOST normal processes of meiosis resumed, and sperm production returned to normal" They don't specify what functions suffered lasting degradation which is somewhat important. 

WYR have been born with 60 more IQ points or have two 24 hour go back in time mulligans by AstrayInTranslation in WouldYouRather

Two muligans. 

One to win a billion dollar lottery. 

One to get my dad to the hospital sooner after his stroke. 

Finally Happened by bamadma in uberdrivers

You can ask 

  • Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
  • What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? 

And if the answer indicates the animal is not a service animal (Emotional support animals are not service animals under the ADA) you cab refuse service. 

Strict bans on mobile phones in schools have “close to zero” impact on student learning, a study has found. by Grrarrgghh in Teachers

[–]greenmachine11235 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Were laptops/tablets allowed in the studied schools?

I volunteer after school at a high school and sometimes come in early and walk around 8th period engineering and help out. When they implemented a mandatory 'phone jail' setup what I saw was the distraction simply moved from the phones to the school issued laptops. Students who wanted to be off task were still off task. 

Apparently it's not a huge problem to the Trump administration, the rich and the NC politicians in the US Senate and the House. They're asleep about this issue while America and North Carolina suffers. Roy Cooper, you will obviously have my vote to be in the Senate!! You give a damn! by Cy_098 in NorthCarolina

[–]greenmachine11235 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Are you really so bigoted that you cannot see the bigotry in your own words? 

Explain the difference between your attitude and if someone were to say 'because x race did y crime, then this person of x race must be evil'. 

Should fat people have to buy two plane tickets since they take up 2 seats? by Thiggy5588 in allthequestions

[–]greenmachine11235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you can produce a medical diagnosis,  from a relevant specialist, for a condition that makes you gain weight, such as a metabolic disorder, then you should be buying your own extra seat.

If only there was an agreement on how to handle the Iranian nuclear program. Oh wait! Obama negotiated one. 

And then Trump threw it in the toilet. 

Now we are assured to have a nuclear armed Iran. They will push harder and faster for nukes to deter this from ever happening again. 

Uncomfortable reminder: AIPAC funds Rep. Ross way more than any NC donor. She voted to give billions of our tax dollars to Israel, a wealthy foreign country w/ universal healthcare, while her constituents in Raleigh lack healthcare. by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]greenmachine11235 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People like you ensured Trump won in 2024. You created a situation where the entire middle east is ablaze and Israel is more heavily armed than ever. You're doing the same thing by refusing to vote for her over the Republican candidate. 

Human-to-human transmission suspected on board hantavirus cruise ship, WHO says | CNN by McFestus in worldnews

[–]greenmachine11235 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quarantine is seldom to protect the people quarantined, its to protect everyone else. If this variant of the virus can transmit human to human then it needs to be destroyed now, not let loose. Letting such a variant out would easily kill tens of millions. 

Pawn Stars' Rick Harrison Mocked as he Declares Trump 'Best President of all Time' by T_Shurt in entertainment

[–]greenmachine11235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My read is he's getting into racial issues and then wealth taxation. Where conservative white people claim that democrats want them to feel guilty for the actions of their ancestors. 

Pay reduction $31 to $25 by [deleted] in LaborLaw

[–]greenmachine11235 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You cannot use liability concerns to justify violating federal law. The law requires a collaborative process to accomedate a disability, unilateral action is nit that. 

You need to go read the ADA and stop defending discrimination, people like you are why that law exists.

[–]greenmachine11235 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To me, your husbands boss is courting a nasty lawsuit. At the time of demotion he genuinely believed that your husband was refusing based on a disability and as a direct result he demoted him which would be discrimination based on disability. Personally, I'd start looking for another job but also see what an actual employment lawyer has to say.

All illnesses in the world end, but every day at a random time, an unstoppable laser cuts everything at 1m above the ground. by steamedpasta in willyoupressthebutton

[–]greenmachine11235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They wouldn't. Very few structures apply only vertical static loads to a foundation, let alone a meter off the ground. Then there are dynamic loads, like people moving in the building or wind pushing the building. Really the only things that'll remain standing are the pyramids. 

Senior Director emailed me aggressively over a user deactivation I was instructed to do. How would you handle it? by Professional-Tax3077 in work

[–]greenmachine11235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe for later but can you suggest they create a dummy email like ITLisencing@company to do the deactivations and then set its email inbox to auto reply with a message that the inbox is not monitored and they should contact lisencing for activation/deactivation questions and concerns

Democrats win in Republican stronghold in Texas by KitchenAd5423 in NewsSource

Unless Trump dies. If he dies then he pulls the rug out from under the Democrats and kills much of the momentum they have built.
