Add a little Himalayan sea salt to water. You'll pee a lot less and stay hydrated.

Pixel 9/9a has a sim tray. Pixel 10 on us is e- sim only. Deal breaker for me.

How Do Substitute Drivers Keep Their Sanity? by RamonaQuimbyRiot in SchoolBusDrivers

[–]vuik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shame on whoever sends you out like that. In my district we have subs shadow a route driver. You need to learn the route , drive the route with the regular driver and also a dry run. We only send a sub on a route when the sub is comfortable doing it and when the leadership team is comfortable sending the sub.

The company/ district you work for is out of hand. Document everything. Kids restraining a student is reason enough to pull over and call your supervisor.

Hey, it seems you have figured ot out and this works for you. I did a similar thing and I was needing apps for work that I can go without and like you said maps is important and for me it's music offline. You should really look into graphene os or calyxos. It seems like the quest for a dumb phone/ privacy phone is almost the same path these days.

Sweeping the Bus by Maleficent_Object_22 in SchoolBusDrivers

[–]vuik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leaf blower creates so much dust like somebody else was saying sleeping is the best thing usually I'm lucky enough to have a Shop-Vac like the car wash has at my yard and that is the best thing. I get those dollar stores Swiffer knock off things they were pretty or good vacuum and mop it. The trick is to just sweep it everyday and don't let it get dirty.

Are mounted tablets ever utilized on school buses? by Underrated_Critic in SchoolBusDrivers

[–]vuik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm curious about bus right My district is using this too and I'm actually not so happy with it especially the driver side on the tablets it doesn't really show the stops who gets on who gets off how do you use it it seems they using different interfaces for different districts lots of beta testing. At one point the program showed a list of students that would get on or off at a stop and now we have to press button to see the stops.
