...tell them whatever lie will serve me.

They just forfeited any claim to my respect and are now prey.

Nursing schools are a good example, as there is a surplus of nurses in many area due to older nurses staying in the job market.

Commercial shools exist to fill classes and make money, any other outcomes are secondary.

SAC was famous for tight discipline and esprit de corps. When TAC ate SAC, many SAC folks we'd inherited predicted slack standards and the end of the highly disciplined SAC culture. Years of fuckups proved their point.

Some jobs require performance of a very high standard. Go old-school and crush the cheaters in an exemplary manner. Do what Curtis LeMay would do to shitbags and replace the lot.

Quite right!
Snowplows do get chewed up in the North, but they'd survive just fine in the South and last many, many years.
Plow mounts could be swapped easily as generations of trucks are replaced. Both dump and garbage trucks already have hydraulic power takeoff systems so adding plows is is but mounting and plumbing.
The bed modification shown in your pic is easy to retrofit at a cost of a few hundred dollars per truck, and easy to repair if it gets bashed. Local fab shops and possibly the DOT shops could spit them out easily.
Spreaders can be purchased and fitted with quick-attach mounts.
If it were my tasking I'd set aside warehouse space and have plows spreaders palletized on steel frames with forklift pockets for easy handling and maintenance. One or two forklifts could feed the gear to a line of trucks staged outdoors. Lift the gear, attach the gear to the truck, move to the next truck while hydraulic hookups and functional checks proceed. That's faster than storing them on the ground outdoors and would involve less wresting to connect if done right.
When operations are complete, reverse the process, pressure wash and lube the gear on the pallets, then fork them back into the warehouse for the next adventure.
Have each device carry a set of printed maintenance forms in an attached container as is done with military ground support equipment to facilitate easy review and entry of discrepancies. No need to invent a new system as the military has done it this way for decades and it works well.

Local forecasters don't forecast nor do they own their own weather satellites.
Anyone using anything but the National Weather Service for weather information is a fool consuming altered data proffered with the intent to draw eyeballs to adverts.
I do on my home PC exactly what they did in Ops facilities when I was in the Air Force. They had the appropriate NOAA page refreshing on one monitor for local reference.
Of course mission data was provided by the USAF weather folks but that's a considerable additional level of detail ground users don't need.

" that's when you incorrectly shut-down most linux distro's you'll actually destroy your OS"

Citation needed or take your FUD elsewhere. I've been using a variety of distros since 1999 and have had FAR more problems with Windows when power is interrupted.

Incidentally, rescuing Linux with the live media I install it with in the first place is very convenient, though most rescues I use Linux to perform are on Windows machines.

Since Linux installs are "portable" by nature, booting from an external SSD could allow a full Linux gaming installation to be portable between different devices.
If a tard-simple GUI clone/backup package were offered a gamer could conveniently clone their tweaked installation for backup or replication.
As MSFT prefer the vendor lock model this could be an advantage for Linux.

"Admit it, the first thing we're all going to print is genitalia."

And what glorious genitalia they will be. especially if the designs are crowdsourced on 4chan.

Our system is effortlessly able to discreetly process the people killed by conventional pollution.

Nuclear accidents are disruptive. Dispersed death isn't even interesting.

Dicedot page hits.

Add-on wireless print servers could be a fix for some, as could a slow subnet done by hanging a slow router off the fast router.

People with a desire for speed will Ebay a lot of their old gear or Craigslist it, so those who like legacy systems can do as always and stock up.

The industrial model on which Detroit was based is obsolete, there is no reason to spend vast sums to remove obsolete infrastructure when greenfield locations in States with better climates are cheap, and the geographic advantages Detroit had many decades ago are gone.
It is perfectly reasonable to shrink Detroit, demolish obsolete housing stock and bury onsite, then leave unsupportable areas unsupported.

It was and still is.

I had an outstanding science teacher who resisted nonsensical, counter-productive standardised testing in Rutherford, NJ, and had the statistics to back up his contention. He could have caved in to the educrats and sold out his students, but he had the exemplary integrity to fight instead at considerable personal and social cost.

The school board tried to throw him under the proverbial bus, but he sued and eventually won. Without strong teacher representation he'd have been fired and many kids would have lost out both to the testing regime and by missing a stellar teacher.

There is FAR more to union protection of teachers than featherbedding.

The people to blame for many school problems and whose effect is largely ignored in the current debate are school administrations.

Here's a classic written by a (now retired) terrific science teacher who fought the Rutherford, NJ, administration over how they tested students and won in court after a protracted struggle. Steve Masone greatly inspired many of his students, self included. He had the guts to take on a pretty toxic administration when he could have just coasted and sacrificed his students instead.

The administrators concerned retired comfortably without consequences to their careers.

Programming is broadening in the way mathematics is broadening.

Substitution is hardly "dumbing down" and it's wise to offer the choice early on. If anything schools should cater more to the technically inclined.
