So long as it's a true Montessori and not just in name only. The number of programs I see touting Montessori, Classical, and other models is wild. Usually it's charter and private schools that say one thing but do another.

This is the way. QRP for FD is like going fishing without a hook. You better enjoy the scenery and getting away from home because you're not going to bring in much.

Are these big national-brand window companies that provide "lifetime warranty" just cashing in today and hoping for the best (bankruptcy) exit strategy later when all their installs from this generation fail in a couple decades? N

It's one of the first things buyers should look at. But they don't. They check out the kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, and lovely floors and wall finishing.

Interestingly, when discussing WHOIS with my networking students, I discovered .edu WHOIS is not (cannot?) hidden. I suppose EDUCAUSE either requires WHOIS to remain open or they do not offer information hiding. Doing some WHOIS lookups, we

I used something like this back in the day to run Winamp when CarPCs were a thing (to play MP3s before MP3 player stereos came out). If I knew what I knew now, I'd have done it so much differently, but it was the late 90s/early 2k

POTA is what made me get more into CW. I'm not 100% CW and I do POTA activation videos on YouTube (when I remember to bring my GoPro with me on trips). I typically use an Elecraft KX2 and Chelegance MC-750 vertical (and you'd be h

I used to ask the same thing back when car stereos were all the rage --- I wondered why I couldn't get shortwave or SSB or Air/VHF reception and the answer lies in use-case. Yeah, you and I might eat up this super niche product, b

A number of states have laws where you must disclose if the call is being recorded. I pointed this out to a former supervisor that was using otter.ai to record and transcribe calls he would make with potential leads and conference contacts.

Yeah, the KX2 is an amazing little radio. I take mine with me on work trips for doing POTA in new places. The tuner in the KX2 is said to be able to tune a wet noodle. The receiver is very sensitive and the filter can be adjusted to clamp
