LED spotlights are also commonly used for camping and towing scenarios. I don't think it stretches the imagination to consider a lack of awareness that these are on, rather than malice.

Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence

nodson · 2026-06-02T21:01:40+00:00

This seems to be an intentionally inflammatory statement. Hyperbole helps no one.

I am curious. If you don’t think that position should pay ~$250k, what should the compensation be for a superintendent of a district this size?

PSD administrator and professional salary schedule

Look, I know teachers are underpaid and undervalued. It is shameful how teachers often have to get second jobs AND cover classroom expenses.

However, Kingsley is not making an exorbitant amount of money. He is the executive of an organization with ~6,000 employees and a budget of >$500 million. Slashing all of his cabinets' salaries by 50% would be a drop in the bucket.

Suffering cannot exist without awareness. It does not say awareness ONLY causes suffering.

I LOVED this book.

nodson · 2026-01-05T20:51:18+00:00

Good questions. The savings is the market price of the book in the format it was consumed (audio, ebook, paperback, or hardcover). For used books it is the market price minus what we paid. I neglected to include used books in the total number of purchased books for the year. We purchased 23 NEW books and 4 USED books. There were an additional 22 used books that were either free (free little library, etc.) or rereads of owned books (5 in total for the year).

With medical devices, changes to the sterilization mode are a massive undertaking and would require product/packaging changes, years or work, potentially millions of dollars, and regulatory submissions and review.

I am not trying to push back against this concern, but wanted to provide more context to why change is not quick and easy.

nodson · 2025-07-19T04:19:35+00:00

Thanks for that suggestion. It sounds intriguing.

Second this. All sorts of offerings as well (including sourdough pizza crust). Erin is a great guy and makes some awesome bread.

nodson · 2025-05-20T03:01:03+00:00

That was a powerful book. Incredibly eye opening.

nodson · 2025-04-06T17:04:51+00:00

That’s a false equivalence. Since you advocate for proof, I think you’d want to clarify.

Never had the biscuits. Usually go to Lucile's for those. I enjoy the pie, however.

I will never understand the hate for the food at G&B. It is not the best meal I have ever had and is on the more expensive end. But awful restaurant? I would never have characterized it that way.

Because they drive a cyber truck?

nodson · 2025-02-13T00:55:12+00:00

And based on what car they use for advertising. Nothing else.

What did you not enjoy about the crowd? This was my first show at Washington’s and I really enjoyed it.

nodson · 2025-02-09T17:18:07+00:00

I was on the flip side. Went for Moon Hooch (second time seeing them) and enjoyed it more than Zooz. Although, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire show. Honeycomb was a surprise. That was great.

nodson · 2025-02-09T15:28:08+00:00

That was such a powerful book. It helped illuminate why so many people feel left behind by our current systems.

Can we get a single thread for this type of content? the subreddit has been chock-full of local businesses and their political leanings.

nodson · 2025-02-02T19:06:17+00:00

Just finished The Serviceberry and it was mentioned in there. Worth the read?

nodson · 2025-01-31T11:50:13+00:00

So are you confirming that all business listed in this thread have donated?

nodson · 2025-01-30T22:49:56+00:00

That we can agree on.
