I'm a firm believer in keeping Smart TVs off my network and using my apple TV to keep ads and crap to a minimum. For everything else, I recommend PiHole, a Raspberry Pi based ad/malware blocking solution. It blocks the connection to the mothership.

You can show Alford all the graphs in the world, and it won't move the needle. I should know; I'm one of his constituents. I get the same "I value your opinion, but..." emails from him enough that I've stopped bothering.

Funny story... Last time we were at Sam's we picked that up and stashed it in our closet. Only remaining evidence was an empty Nutella jar with a spoon in it... on my son's nightstand. "Have kids," they said. 🤪

One need watch, well, ONE interview with him to know that the only fairness he wants is that he has a fair shot at all of KISS' money. Oh, and some ass.

Fake news... though I did just check our living room security cam. The dog is resting comfortably on the couch, where she belongs. No fires.

It's a huge day for prestigious honors. Just this morning I was presented the Supreme Order of Bluetooth Connectivity, for my prowess in connecting three sets of ear buds to a single iPhone.

Could be collab/PD, then. My wife taught in the district until this year, and she informed me that half days were worthless for collab, hence the move to full days. It pissed off car riders (and their parents) something fierce.

Is it a conference day? Our district does a half day tomorrow and they're off Friday. Or, could be collaboration/PD days for teachers. We used to do early outs 1 Wednesday a month. Now, they do 1 Friday every 2 months as a full PD day.

We just did it the first time too. Others tell me it's much better than it used to be, but wow... Lots of jumping through hoops. I understand the need for security, but wow...
