Yeah, that's good to clarify; my girl attends a special school in the US that originally was designed to keep native Japanese kids up to date with language while living in the US because of a father's international work, etc., sometimes not even for a full semester. They've since had you start accepting US born kids too, so long as they're proficient in Japanese.

They're housed within a public school but are ultimately private so they don't have access to facilities like that.

I mean it's one of those implicit things. We've snuck some leftover pasta in there though, along with a rice ball... hehe

I really like the barista style oat milk. It's more expensive but it's definitely thicker. I haven't tried frothing though, looks pretty good to me honestly.

My kid just started TK and the school is serving such a high poverty area that they give free breakfast and lunch. It's hard to pass up, and isn't the worst quality in the world but still a little more sugar than I'd prefer. Fruit yes, vegetable no, and loads of dairy (which is a thing thanks to US subsidizing farms, this is where that surplus goes. Corn syrup, too though, unfortunately).

It's also kind of a lot of trouble for two working parents to prep a lunch for multiple kids every day. Leftovers are great, but they don't always hold for the few hours they're in a bag. I'm allowed to bring food to them at 11:30am, but I'm working so it's a non starter. My daughter also attends a Japanese Saturday school though and prepping a bento box is required.

Thanks, I'll take a look. First day of the semester is tomorrow so I need to get this finished, haha.

My 4yo likes the line "teacher leave those kids alone!" She sings it quite loudly, but I don't think she quite gets the meaning of the song, hehe

It's a lot funnier when the door opens to just the toilet in view, no door but the elevator door.

Actually... in their defense, some towns were completely wiped out by floods, it's quite a massive "once in a lifetime" storms we've been getting thanks to climate change. I've a friend in Indiana that works for insurance as a mold specialist, he was out quite a bit last week and had to go to sites in a boat.

That said, you want a real target to shit on? He told me the company isn't honoring almost any claims since most aren't sold on real flood insurance (it's not a place known to flooding). None the less, they're soulless ghouls.

Edit: oh also, this probably goes without saying but the feds are barely doing shit about it.

Hehe, yes, that and one drive shoved down our throats because they pay for it all. I can't even get them to approve my Linux system to receive school email, have to do browser Outlook.

I'll still consider these options if I'm ever back in doing academic research and going to conferences, though.

Chirp. . . . Chirp. . . . Chirp. . . .

I WILL FUCKING BUY YOU SOME E BATTERIES, JUST STOP!

and that's why I'm subscribed to their OnlyFlans.

It's not just fundie Christians, unfortunately. Way too many cultures do this, religious or otherwise.

Well... I don't really have that option because of slide sharing and whatnot, the system requires pptx format, even for professors. Technically I'm not even supposed to use non-MS software, lol.

But I think you're right. It's getting to be a headache messing with OnlyOffice w/ master slides. Libre might end up being my only option simply because of its ability to work within my pptx centric work.
