Finally, another installment in my much self-anticipated series of maintaining a custom LMS. Not much technical details yet, mostly just documenting the emotional turmoil that the past few weeks have been.

I started a tentative series describing my experiences taking over maintenance of a custom Learning Management System (LMS). Hopefully by making it public and attracting a couple followers, I will be more likely to actually make it a series. https://t.co/ln2pDmG7gt

@AstroFrench7 @typo_cat @TimmyTwoShirts Yes, American Chop Suey was a regular lunch item all through elementary school (Massachusetts). I want to say at least once a week.

Well this is frightening: Medical board deletes anti-misinformation policy amid GOP pressure. Apparently doctors can now demonstrably "first do harm" with no repercussions in the state of TN?

I can relate. Can't they just emaillr text? Already anxious about being lost and then to add answering an unrecognized number? #toomuch https://t.co/KCDR1yatfY

Republicans: unemployment benefits are just handouts for people who don't want to work.
Also Republicans: the state should provide free handouts to people who don't want to work because they choose not to respect the health and safety of their colleagues.

Also, the concept that a file is separate from the application used to open/edit it is not something most grasp.

[Darren @hazybluedot]

Definitely been my experience. File paths, and in particular relative vs absolute paths are a completely foreign concept to most students. https://t.co/c5GlNpmyrH

Probably most often question/issue topic is "I saved this work, but now I don't know where it is to upload"

"Like kids in the candy shop, we are continually persuaded to spend money we don’t have on things we don’t need—to create impressions that won’t last on people we don’t love."

I'm confused, #TNGOP, when are we supposed to respect our law enforcement officers, and when are we supposed to disregard their lived experiences and expertise? A flowchart would help. 🤷‍♂️#politics https://t.co/rDk28VI18O

Evidence is not something policy makers really like to take into consideration when making policy, but it is worth noting that @BillLeeTN 's claim that "longer sentences will deter crime" is at odds with evidence. https://t.co/iUIhHbPIF3

@jdengine Agreed, and wireless is and will always be much more energy intensive than the same bandwidth over a wired connection, so from an energy usage perspective we should think about how to favor wired over wireless wherever possible.
