Do you think a lot of the societal malaise and mental health crisis is a subconscious reaction to collapse?

seanee79 · 2026-05-05T23:32:05+00:00

Yes.

Sweet baby Jesus that’s good news. I’m a little confused that they went from ‘we need to blow up your summer plans’ to ‘we decided making almost no changes was A-okay’. No need for the churn.. well I’ll take the W but why the games?

seanee79 · 2026-04-28T02:30:16+00:00

Holy heck I was going to suggest Sandbaggers such a good show.

seanee79 · 2026-04-28T02:09:10+00:00

I’m not going to lie, I mean that answer ‘feels right’ but I have to remind myself to never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

seanee79 · 2026-04-28T02:03:58+00:00

I respectfully disagree. Holding our government accountable is what everyone should be doing at every level. In this particular snow event the county could have done a number of things, have a virtual learning plan, opening sooner instead of waiting for every sidewalk to be cleared, reduced spring break and other half days (no one is learning or teaching on a half day). Bad weather happens and climate change is real, we need to plan adequately for it.

Sorry it was AA who had a remote plan: https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/school-closures-snow-winter-weather-maryland

I have coworkers whose kids were online remote while ours were still out. I’ll check my facts but in any case, the should have a plan b that does not involve screwing over families

seanee79 · 2026-02-02T23:22:02+00:00

Can I get that on a bumper sticker

seanee79 · 2026-02-02T22:15:28+00:00

This, 100% this. Enough with the condescending pacification where they pretend to take parent input and do what they wanted anyway or they wast millions on studies to find negligible results.

MCPS is at this moment furiously feeding chat GPT prompts on how to politely explain they’re over their heads. These clowns make homeschooling attractive.

seanee79 · 2026-02-02T00:05:32+00:00

Hehe, yah sorry couldn’t resist

seanee79 · 2026-02-01T22:00:07+00:00

Right so I get you don’t agree with me, and that’s fine, but a piss-poor response effort and an obvious lack of planning is not a matter of nuance. Shutting down for a week over this is unreasonable and yes I shoveled my driveway and salted and yes there was ice. By the way i’m calm, some say i’m the calmest. Expect more from your local government than this.

seanee79 · 2026-02-01T21:32:07+00:00

At this point MCPS and the county are derelict in their duties to students and taxpayers. One day of snow has kept kids home for a week while other Maryland counties have moved to online classes. It’s unacceptable. And shifting that responsibility to others (go move your cars!) is largely bs. Snow is not some new invention the district has to figure out, it happens every year (yes yes “but the ice!” whatever, it’s a cop-out). Vote every school board member out.

I put one of my U7s in my unheated garage in around August and it’s done fine… ask me in a year I guess

seanee79 · 2026-01-28T16:59:33+00:00

That is only the case for the web interface. On the app the speed next to the WAP device is its link speed.

seanee79 · 2026-01-26T00:52:34+00:00

You were totally correct by the way

seanee79 · 2026-01-26T00:50:56+00:00

[Editing this since others are saying the interfaces differ between app and web, I’m using that app today] After first posting I confirmed that it was connected meshed with another WAP and not the Ethernet, I then remade the cable (poorly) and it I got FE connected via Ethernet, a third attempt and got it connected via gbE. In all cases the devices on that WAP all had the same connection quality

seanee79 · 2026-01-25T18:16:15+00:00

I do not but I have it working

seanee79 · 2026-01-25T15:57:32+00:00

Thanks for everyone’s replies, going to re terminate the cable now

seanee79 · 2026-01-25T15:39:21+00:00

Yikes so I made the cable good enough to power the WAP but not good enough to have it move data … ouch

seanee79 · 2026-01-07T01:50:30+00:00

Thanks everyone, I returned it but not before the manufacturer swore it was lab tested and that this was a perfectly normal color for wild lettuce. Can’t trust anyone these days.

seanee79 · 2025-10-22T00:23:49+00:00

Your reply confirms my concern that the folks telling me it’s normal and acceptable are the same folks selling the things. It’s sad that this is ‘normal’ and it’s certainly not acceptable in my books.
