I think I have photographed a Royal Tern. These 5 images in a collage are all of the same bird. Seen at Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware, USA in July 2023.

Adding mass transit, incentives for work-from-home, etc. are all good. Taxing miles driven will reduce miles driven. Just taxing EV miles to make up for lost gas tax revenue probably won't affect miles driven, except for EV drivers. It provides no new reason for GVs to drive less.

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.

 

Would you prefer the homescreen to feature a list of your subscriptions rather than the current random magazines box? I would.

This would work, but it would be better if you had to pay for by the miles on your vehicle rather than tolls on any particular road.

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'm using kbin on a desktop web browser. I have several magazines I have subscribed to. Is there a way to see clickable list of just my subscriptions? Right now to visit a subscription I am clicking "Magazines" in the top nav bar and then using the search function. This is awkward.

 

I used to sing the praises of the Hongdian 517s, a stainless steel pen that I liked so much I bought it with two nib widths. I still like using these pens, but the screw caps proved their undoing.

I would notice that sometimes the screw cap was loose so I would give it an extra twist. Eventually, I stripped the threads and now they won't seal tightly and so they dry out.

These pens had a lot going for them in my opinion. They had a concave section and thickness that I liked. They came with a piston converter. They had a tough, brushed stainless steel cigar-shaped body that was both austere and cool looking. They were dirt cheap at under $20, and they wrote well. I just wish they had a bushing or something that would prevent Mr. Ham Hands (me) from over tightening.

So, until the I stripped the threads, I used to suggest people try these pens. I apologize. My only consolation is that you're not out hundreds of dollars on a pen.
