My bills for two people regularly come out to $50, at normal unfancy restaurants (sometimes even just fast casual). So $70 would be 3 people for me.

For me at least, it's that I can't do anything of substance until the scheduled thing is over. I can't even start the video game while waiting because I'm worried I'll get too engrossed and forget about the thing I have to go to later.

I worked at a high school doing IT. I kept student-returned laptops in a laptop cart. One day, to my absolute horror, baby cockroaches start crawling out of the cart, and infested my entire work area.

The cart was quarantined and treated by Terminix. After a while the cart was returned to me, and I had to sort through and clean/wipe all of them. I wish I could have just e-wasted the whole thing. Another round of hatching happened a few weeks later, from another laptop, but luckily I had put them in air-tight containers by then.

In a lot of the California schools I've worked at, they do teach these things. I think they are really great skills that I wish were taught when I was in school.

Unfortunately there's a lot of conservative push back and a movement to get these topics out of school.

People are dying because of conservative policies but you think AI is more important than that. That’s sad. I would vote for you if your rights were being denied.

Why not vote for the sake of other people when their lives, health, and safety are on the line?

I worked at a homeschool public charter school for a few years. A good chunk of the parents were only in it because they wanted to use Christian curriculum and other conservative garbage to teach their children.

The school even had me go to a professional development event that ended up being a Christian leadership conference held at a church. One of my coworkers walked out once she realized it was religious and she was forced to use her PTO for the remaining days of the conference. I should have done the same.

Why is it the most important issue for you?

What kind of technology did you work with while doing desktop support? If you like working with endpoints you could consider doing client platform engineering.

Takeout. I get it a few times a week and always feel a bit guilty about it. I like supporting the local businesses but it's expensive and the plastic containers aren't great.
