But, Brawndo has what plants crave. It has electrolytes.

That’s perfect, Arth. Thank you.

You may have missed the “Save” button at the bottom of the settings page. I missed it the first try. :-(

I will look at that, but I am not sure it would work smoothly. The interface requires me to “Inquire” after two of the steps.

Would you want to be responsible for checking IDs over the internet? No sane company would want to be responsible for getting it wrong.

Also, would you be willing to send a scan of your drivers license to a porn website? Any website?

Also, say why. I would prefer to see subscriptions because I come here to see what’s popped up in those magazines, not what’s in some other magazines.

“Oreo was created in 1912 as an imitation of Hydrox.”

I have to enter data into payroll for when a teacher covers a class for an absent teacher. Usually, there are 5 teachers who I pay for one hour each. Each teacher has an ID number.

To pay one teacher I have to enter their ID number. Select their job code from a drop down list, tell the database I am adding to it by choosing or entering A in a box. Then I have to pull the date from a drop down list. Then I enter the digit 1 (to pay 1 hour). Then I enter the ID number of the absent teacher. Then I enter the sub request number created by the absent teacher. Then I click “change.”

I have to do this for all 5 teachers that covered the class. One-at-an-effing-time.

If I had a “dev” handy, I would say, let me enter the ID, date, and job number for the absent teacher. Let me list the 5 substituting teacher id numbers, and the 1 hour should be the default.

Of course there will never be a ‘dev’ around because my county purchased the payroll software and no one who is anywhere near using it gets to make the purchasing decisions.

I’m sorry, but I CANNOT agree. Coffee smells MUCH BETTER than weed. In fact, I think weed smells terrible. It reminds me of skunks. I would much rather smell coffee.

I’ve been on Mastodon for little more than a year. People here have been generally polite and give each other the benefit of the doubt. I have yet to see a “flame war” as we used to call it on USENET. But Mastodon (and Kbin and Lemmy) instances will have to decide if they will federate with Meta’s new platform. I’m pretty vehemently opposed, but my Mastodon admin seems to think we should wait and see. So here we have Meta, which hasn’t joined the fediverse, has already begun fragmenting us. Is that our fault? Maybe. But I don’t think we’re the problem.

I have been writing to my county school board to ask them to abandon twitter. It is used by principals, coaches, and others in the county system all the time. I explain that the values of the school system do not align with the values demonstrated by the platform. So far I’ve heard crickets back. :-(

I can’t stand searching for a product on Amazon anymore. If I really want to use Amazon, it’s much more efficient to find the amazon link using duck duck go.

What? Haven’t you heard about trickle-down economics? Are you saying trickle-down doesn’t work?!?!

I also like Tusky for Mastodon because you can also use it to open up your Pixelfed account.

I don’t care for Karma-farming, but I liked having some way to tell if someone was a real community member or a throw-away account. I liked that there were some subreddits that wouldn’t let you post if you had low karma because it helped hold back the trolls.

You can spread powder on the floor so you could see if someone had stepped in. It wouldn’t keep them out unless they didn’t want anyone to know they’d been in there.

Oh, I would TOTALLY buy some US Senators. You think I could afford both Sinema & Manchin?

It doesn’t have to be impeccable. It doesn’t need corporations to buy ads. It just has to keep getting better and not die. Look at Linux. It never did overtake MacOS & Windows on desktops. But it keeps getting better and it didn’t die and it took over server rooms. Look at Mastodon. It’s nowhere near as popular as Twitter and maybe never will be, but it’s 5 years old and is steadily growing. I like hanging out there. Oak trees start as acorns.

How do I kick in to pay kbin.social costs?

You made me chuckle.
