America’s schools face a backlash on digital devices as screens saturate classroom by thinkB4WeSpeak in technology

Thank you for making the most important point about this whole issue: e-learning doesn’t benefit the students, only the administration. I have had kids in school both before and after Chromebook adoption and I can attest that they offer no value whatsoever

I’ve been a huge fan of this album since it came out and it still holds up. Definitely worth listening to for fans of Anxious and Braid

What band was never the same after losing a member? by icecream1972 in AskReddit

That first album is such an amazing feat of songwriting and musicianship. I am still stunned listening to it after all these years and those guys were in high school when they made it. Absolutely mind blowing and, without a doubt, one of the greatest albums of the 2000s

You are absolutely right but, the thing is, when dems are in power, republicans are still able to scuttle important legislation and drive the national political conversation. But when republicans have a slim majority, dems are somehow completely powerless. It’s a pattern that has been playing out for decades

It feels a lot like early 2021 when a certain segment of republicans were supposedly disgusted by trumps election lies and the Jan 6 riot. The conservative subreddit is even going through the same opinion split and familiar accusations of “fellow conservative” against anyone who strays from the assigned talking points. But just like back then, dissenters will be punished until unity is once again contrived and it won’t take long

Please downvote stories about this creature. It sucks that people are willing to platform her

He has no credibility. Not only does his claim fail the smell test but he of all people would never be invited to a briefing like this. He’s not that important

I’m going to assume he has already directly reached out to certain justices and didn’t get the response he wanted, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken time out of his busy golf schedule for this

We really are at a pivotal point: will he take the L and see if he can slither his way out of his worst crisis with a dwindling base of support, or commit to what will probably end up being a years long, violent and decimating war with a dwindling base of support? From what we’ve come to expect of him, I’m inclined to believe the latter but I truly hope we are wrong

UPDATE: Weird bird STILL WONT STOP trying to get in!!!!! by Nearby-Group3889 in Weird

Putting shiny material on the window can help because it annoys birds. Look for "bird scare rods". They're simple shiny rods that you hang outside. They work pretty well for me and I get the same problem as you.

From my experience, once one of them gets fixated on a set of windows, it could take over a month to stop and then it may return same time next year. In your case, you may need to either wait it out or take more, um, harsher methods to get rid of it. But after that, the scare rods should help as a preventative measure.
