If you missed the details of what Crayons2Calculators does and why they're so important to Durham's public education system, you can go to this point in the thread:

What exactly *is* Crayons2Calculators, you ask?

Well C2C is basically what you'd call a "trade name" for what was known as as the Durham Teacher Warehouse Corp

They ran a warehouse that stockpiled donated school supplies, sorted by supply type, and every teacher in Durham could get stuff for class

That puts the 5 matchers on the hook for $225 apiece, plus Daniel for another $95

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

And a pair of brown-throated parakeets dislodging fruit from a tree

#birds

Photo of two brown-throated parakeets, partially obscured by foliage. One is standing on a branch under some leaves. It has a green body, mustard-like yellow-brown feathers on its throat, brighter yellow head, and a short curved beak. Above the leaves, the head of a second parakeet is also visible, poking up and looking to the left of the camera lens.

i don't think there's any way to productively use them. "win a majority and appoint judges who will mulch those powers immediately" is, i think, the ideal outcome.

this 100%. the coding part of developer interviews has always been near-useless. the architecture part is invaluable.

but with llms all of a sudden some devs act like writing an api, basic sql, or streaming over a map is the most important part of their jobs. it never has been. it never will be.

Is this a tactic for the shutdown, or is this because they believe science and public health are Democrat things?

It's not clear to me how selective employees could be RIF'd. They didn't define the competitive area and then rank employees. They dumped people they didn't like and called it a RIF. They'll sue and be awarded backpay and attorney's fees.

Because when everything is on fire, the thing you want to do as a store owner is build your place out of materials that are highly flammable

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 18h

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
