I don’t have any kids so no ponies in this race, but apparently trying to get daycare for kids is REALLY insane these days. Super expensive and very few slots.

I’m wondering if it’s similar to nursing and teaching: no one wants to be paid peanuts for one of the hardest professions. I also wonder* if it’s due to the “women do these jobs a lot so pay them less lol”


*im not wondering, let’s be real.
Childcare is actually insanely loving expensive. Daycare, preschool, whatever. We ended up paying $7,200 for our kid to go to preschool for a year and the place was poo poo and our kid hated it. Naturally, you couldn't withdraw for a partial refund.

As for your question as to whether teaching is such a poorly compensated job because it is regarded as "women's work," but yes, that absolutely is a component.

I did when I was in university, but that's mostly because I had Surface devices so I just hand wrote all my notes on them. Was really convenient, especially if you had a (pirated) digital textbook too because then you could just clip the actual diagrams straight from it and paste it into your notes.

I was talking to a someone at a party a while back and it was pretty eye opening. They were talking about if she gave up work and took care of the kids, the household would be something like a $150/week worse off. Essentially one adult was working purely to pay for the daycare.

I got so sick of ads i got a RaspberryPi to make a thing called PiHole that blocks all ads across your home network. After setting the PiHole up and doing a bunch of stuff in the command prompt and watching lots of youtubes, I had to change some kind of port forwarding on the router. But I could not, because the router is a Comcast router and I was blocked from changing these settings. God drat piece of poo poo.

xfinity's app will test your modem speeds and let you know whether it's taking advantage of the speed you're subscribed to

the app will even issue an upgrade through the mail if you're using their modem

then they send you the exact same piece-of-poo poo modem they already gave you originally

My wife worked at a childcare center for like 14 years and in the early 2010s, it cost $2400 a month to send a toddler-aged kid there. It's a, uh, upscale "child development center" and she had the kids of football and basketball players, lawyers, VPs and such in her classes, but that's still a lot. Even with her significant employee discount, we couldn't afford to send our kid there.

grocery stores should go back to being 24/7.

more businesses should offer daycare on site. if you want people to not work from home, at least meet them halfway with certified care for their kids there.

"Onenote is for taking notes! And it's free for everyone! People will FLOCK from word and use this weird, different program now, because everyone will be using Microsoft Surface and taking digital notes with a pen! Who needs good spell checking, it's just notes! Also, I love Microsoft Bob." - some Microsoft engineer.

If I'm collaborating with others, at least give me robust grammar and spell checking so the output is presentable. It's the worst of both worlds for me.

AFAIK OneNote had a feature where you could paste in an image of text, and it would extract the text which you could then edit as you please (you had to edit anyway because the feature was never 100%). I'll award Microsoft 1 point for actually doing something new and useful..

Since I'm feeling generous, I also want to congratulate Prime Video for an actual kick rear end feature: the option to stop all autoplay. gently caress I hate autoplay so much, I pretty much always watch the credits and let my mind reflect on what I just watched. But streaming shits all over a quiet contemplative moment as you sober up from a gritty war epic that ended 15 seconds ago and suddenly the trailer to Surfboard Bong is blasting out your speakers. So loving obnoxious.

HBO had a kick rear end feature too: Leaving This Month which really helped me decide what to watch, for obvious reasons. Of course it's gone now.

The coffee machine at work went from "push button, receive cup of coffee" to making us log in and scan fingerprints. Not only is it conceptually stupid as gently caress, the fingerprint reader stops recognizing my fingerprints every couple of days and I have to re-register. If I can register fingerprints at will without any other additional verification, how can they pretend it has a point? There was probably some rear end in a top hat getting 700 cups of coffee a day, but this doesn't solve it.

Milk containers suck poo poo now. The old gallon jugs had a piece of the cap scored with a pull tab so you just very easily pulled the scored piece of cap off and BOOM, your milk is ready to be enjoyed. I hate that little thing under the cap now that’s supposed to peel off the tamper-proof membrane, but 9 times out of 10 just rips right off and you have to stab the membrane and peel it off with your fingers. I have a pretty strong grip and even I have trouble removing that drat thing. I can’t imagine how much harder it must be for elderly people with arthritis and the like.

It’s not just milk, either, but orange juice, tea, and anything else that comes in a one gallon jug.

also stuff that comes in those "resealable" plastic bags with a ziplock strip -- they seem to fail about half the time. either one side of the strip isn't glued strongly enough to the plastic and it just rips off after a few cycles, or the "cut here line" is in the wrong place and leaves a 1 mm of plastic to grip above the strip, or they don't align so you can't seal.

it's not exactly something that's gotten worse, but rather something i'd think manufacturing processes could've gotten right by now. some brands seem to to better than others, but anything that my local grocery store brand puts in those bags has a coin flip's chance of working.
