My Title 1 school made the ACT available to all students for free (on one specific date). A lot of kids who were unprepared for the ACT took it because, why not?

We didn't have that at my school. Unless it's super widespread, it's probably not what's behind the different test results.

And if I am at home, the box is upstairs. I can connect a keyboard and monitor and continue about my business.

I let them know I think they are number one. Choice of digit varies on my mood.


Does Canada not have chargebacks? This seems like a clear case for one.


We sure do. And it may have been. I was too patient and also morbidly curious how and when Tesla would resolve it.


Chargebacks are not forever. I can't speak for Canada, but where I am, after certain number of days, you cannot.


Depends on where you live. Around me the conservatives are more than willing to offer their political opinions even when the context doesn't fit. Progressive/Liberal folks tend to be less vocal because we already know where we stand with each other and don't want to invite the loudmouth to go off.


Political conservatives run a huge American flag off the back of their pickup. Same motivations. Different venue.


I keep my travel laptop clean of any outward expression. Saves a lot of potential grief crossing borders or cultures.

My at home and around town laptop can be my canvas.


My work computer is spotless. My personal conference (and work appropriate - security wouldn't find anything unprofessional or untoward on it) laptop is the one with some stickers that are technologies that I want to put on there. My personal computer at home is desktop... so no stickers there.

Even crossing company culture borders could be problematic if one is a consultant or sales engineer or professional services... This is one of those "in the wrong environment, something could scupper a deal - and you don't want that to be pinned on you."


You've never seen anyone get outwardly offended but I'm sure there have been a few. It's just a statistical probability. I fully support the cause and would not be offended but I encounter people everyday who most certainly are.

Just tell those people you're a big fan of Noah and the Old Testament. Then ask them about why they are wearing a cotton blend shirt.

I understand not wanting to deal with open seating but continuing to boycott an airline after they fixed your pet-peeve makes no sense to me.


My reasoning: fuck ‘em. That and loyalty points.
