Honestly, banning Cellphones in School is like banning Calculators.

Instead of being afraid, maybe instead teach how to use it effectively. Teach good habits around it. They're going to have it with them for the rest of their lives, in all likelyhood, so making sure they can use it effectively should be a top priority.

The justification used for Calculators was "You're not going to always have one in your pocket!"

That ship fucking sailed didn't it? And I called that shit out in grade 2. Which was checks I think 1998/1999?

My point is that school boards that ban phones are luddites.

Those were the days. Enter assembler from a magazine into your C64. Store it to cassette. Then when you wanted to play the game load it from cassette and wait ...

Still, it was better then reentering the assembler code.

There's gold in them thar hills!
A bit surprised to see the route summary say 3100 ft uphill AND 3200 ft downhill (does that mean 6300 ft total elevation change!???), but the switchbacks didn't disappoint on this short sunset loop after supper.

I figured out how to press the secret combination of buttons to get into debugging mode and run the "forced defrost" cycle on the refrigerator. It seems to have solved the problem of the INSANELY LOUD FAN.

But now I'm nostalgic for the old school fridges that you were told not to defrost with a screwdriver but you did anyway and then after you punctured a tube doing it and let out all the ozone-eating gremlins you set it out on the curb with the door removed because there was a latch that couldn't be opened from the inside and everyone knew kids would be drawn to it like moths to a flame, climb inside, somehow close the door, and suffocate. #EverythingWasBetterWhenIWasYounger
