The school drop off/pickup thing is the most carbrained thing I've ever seen
My son's school charges $630 per year to ride the bus. And that is a public school. I still pay for it though, because, 1. I'm not going to spend my time sitting in a line cars every day. Not to mention take time off from work to do it. 2. I want him to experience life. It's a great place for socialization

What's something cool that you've made?
Made these record album stands. Wanted something where someone could stand there and flip through them instead of having them slotted in sideways where people have to pull them out to look at them. There's a other one on the other side.

Same. This was my 3rd party app of choice. Wonder if the dev will adapt it for this platform

US urged to reveal UFO evidence after claim that it has intact alien vehicles
Remember the days when if you even said the word U.F.O., you were laughed at and called a nut job?
Times have certainly changed.

Hate shit like this. Just this morning I went to join a Discord server for motorsports. Don't really use Discord too much, but wanted to see what was going on. It says my email is verified, but I need to add my phone number. Fine, enter my number, then get the code and when I enter the code, it pops up an error saying that number is already in use so I can't join.
Well no shit it's in use. It's in use by me. All Google searches say to delete the phone number in the settings, but there is no phone number in my settings. Apparently this is a common issue in Discord, but they refuse to acknowledge it. WTF is wrong with these companies. Why piss off your own customers?

Not sure what school your kids go to, that's type of stuff isn't an issue for mine. I'm sure things do happen, but that's part of growing up and learning. It's called life

Intelligence officials say U.S. has retrieved craft of non-human origin.
I'd say it counts. Funny how not too long ago if someone even mentioned this topic they would be considered a complete lunatic. But just the fact that a story like this gets reported in the MSM, is telling.
I'm not really into the subject, but just yesterday caught a documentary about an incident in Varginha Brazil that happened in the 90's. Pretty compelling stuff actually.

Would love a mobile app, at some point.
Have you tried Jerboa?

This is how it always goes. Hate saying always, but I can't think of one instance where a public company made a move to improve something for their customers out of the goodness of their heart. It's always about the money.

What's the best piece of advice you've ever received, and how has it influenced your life?
There's a lot, but here's a couple important ones for me.
Do it right the first time, and it's better to make a mistake than to do nothing at all.
These mostly apply to a work environment, but can apply to real life situations too. Doing these two things will drastically reduce the amount of time you have to repeat something or be called out for lack of action.
Nothing makes me more frustrated than having to redo something or constantly follow up on something because it was never done. Time is a finite resource. Don't waste it

It's crazy. When I was a kid (a long time ago) it cost nothing to ride the bus to school.

There's many reasons why the old web nearly disappeared, but I think the main two are cell phones and social media. Combine those two things with giant corporations trying to monetize everything and this is where we end up. The old internet was awesome.

[Question] How to get Jerboa to open links to more instances?
Reply in thread
Yeah, I did this too. I was just showing that I can't scroll down in the settings section of Jerboa. Maybe should have started a new thread for that. Here's my phone settings
