Visā Latvijā, jo nu uz Rīgas vidusskolām jau piesakās no jebkurienes. Un tad vēl tas, ka skolām atšķiras rezultātu paziņošanas datumi. Un ja tu tiki savā izvēlētajā skolā, tev vēl būtu jāpasaka pārējām "backup" skolām, lai tevi izņem no sarakstiem, ko daudzi nedara.
Šis labi nebeigsies. Man ir aizdomas, ka kādu nāksies sadedzināt Doma laukumā uz sārta, lai sabiedrība nolaistu tvaiku. lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/latvija/09…
9. klasi Rīgā šogad pabeiguši ap 6200 skolēnu, bet galvaspilsētas vidusskolās un ģimnāzijās uzņemt var tikai aptuveni 70% no viņiem. Un tas attiecībā tikai uz Rīgas bērniem.
@Arta@toot.lv aizmirsu pateikt vēl labo lietu, viņi saka, ka skolu esot daudz, bet tur ir anormali daudz krievu skolu. Jā, oficiāli tādu vaira nav, bet reāli tajās ir tikai krievvalodīgie bērni un skolotāji, nekas nav mainījies. Tās principā vienkārši var neskaitīt. Reālais skolu skaits ar izglītību latviski ir daudz mazāks.
@normis, nē. Pagaidām tikai skaidrs, ka eksaktie iet labāk. Par profesiju vēl jādomā. Tīri mans subjektīvais viedoklis - eksāmenu rezultāti pēc 12.klases ir bēdīgi - grūti tikt universitātē, grūti mācīties. Profesionālās zināšanas ir labas, bet akadēmiskās klibo.
Giant bugs, massive temperature swings, and no access to bathroom facilities are just some of the inhumane conditions detailed in the first reports from detainees at Alligator Alcatraz, the Trump administration’s premier wetland concentration camp.
@Faelyn no it just sits out there year round. I might bring it in if there was going to be a hurricane. maybe. I have it 3' off the ground on an upended 300 gallon tub, and there's no risk of it becoming submerged. It has a built in heater for the winter. you can also tell it to "stow" which makes it vertical, so that could protect it a bit too. I need to put mine on a pole. so even in a bad storm it'd still be out there.
luckily they're cheaper now than when i got mine, and smaller.
Thanks so much for the "real life" info. I wanted to get a Starlink dish to use at home but looking at it, I thought, is this thing weather proof and works in storms? Mine would need to be stationed outside on a pole as well.
I will have to look into this and see what installation entails. A Starlink chain comes right over my house. If I'm outside, sometimes I will see it, it will light up because of all the flying planes after dark.
@Faelyn well, i have the second iteration, the large rectangular dish that can aim itself. So it came in a box with a Power supply, "router", dish, and a 30' cable or something. So you just plug the router in, put the dish outside, connect the cables and power supply up (they're gasketed plugs that look like usb-c for the dish, and NEMA 13(i think, like a computer plug) gasketed for the router. Connect to the router via wifi on yer phone with the starlink app, and then it just goes

I went through the Denver airport once with a work colleage. We got to our terminal and she opened her bag to find a book and found a giant butcher type knife she had forgot was in there. Complete blissful ignorance it was in her bag while going though TSA, same with TSA
The TSA in and of itself has always been a make-work security-theatre project. Just as we did just fine without creating the Department of ~~Father~~Homeland Security, it's not like there'd been a whole bunch of hijackings under the previous airport-screening scheme.
Sure, you've got 9/11, but that was far more of a failure on the part of the national-security apparatus writ large than the folks at security at any given airport.
At this point, the biggest danger in air travel is boarding a Boeing. It's a shame Airbus hasn't hired Tom Bodett for a "we'll keep the doors on for you" ad campaign.
But back to the shoes. I have lived exclusively in Birkenstocks -- the generic two-strap Arizonas at that -- since 1993, with a minor excursion for my first job ("Men at the DN-R wear ties"). I have no idea what I could hide in those, especially in sufficient quantity to blow up a plane, without ripping the soles off, carving out some space in the cork and then attempting to reaffix the sole in a stable enough manner that I could even get to the airport, let alone to security.
This was a stupid rule from the get-go. That it took nearly 20 years to admit that tells you pretty much all you need to know about airport security.
I often hear how the TSA was/is security theatre. Was this ever proven with any kind of stats? Did they ever stop any big incidents from occurring?
I remember going through various American airport security in the 2000's and thought it was intimidating (i was a kid). But i figured it would at the very least deter people who might attempt some kind of crime of opportunity? Idk.
Interesting. I feel like surely there must be a way to...make things genuinely helpful lol. I would rather have effective security than shitty security. Idk if I would want nothing though? Weird. Thanks for sharing!
I truly do not know if there is a good solution, but I do know the TSA ain't it. People are pretty ingenious, and if someone really wants to get something through security, they'll likely find a way. Hell, I saw a video of someone that built a functioning weapon entirely from items purchased after the security check. Luckily he was doing it as an example, but still.
I feel like we already have the solution. The reason hijacking a plane is attractive for a terrorist is because you essentially have a precision missile. There's little security for buses or trains because you can't do the same thing. If you make the cockpit basically bulletproof and have strict procedures about entering the cockpit during flight, then it's not nearly as attractive. Those changes were already made after 9/11. Hijacking a plane only allows the hijackers to kill the people on board, which isn't as useful. Literally eliminate TSA and I think we're good.
Should you integrate corporate secretarial services into your operations? If you want to enhance efficiency, ensure compliance, and free up time, the answer is yes.
In the dynamic landscape of modern offices, maintaining order amidst chaos is a constant endeavor. If you’ve ever felt the stress of juggling numerous tasks and tight deadlines, you’re not alone. From managing schedules to complying with regulatory changes, running an office can feel overwhelming. Enter corporate secretarial services, the key to optimizing your operations. Let’s explore how they can transform your office environment.
The Unsung Heroes of Office Management
You might be asking, “Why should I consider corporate secretarial services?” The answer is straightforward: they are essential for maintaining office efficiency. Imagine having a dedicated team working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything operates seamlessly. They manage the intricate details that often slip through the cracks, allowing your office to function like a well-oiled machine.
What Are Corporate Secretarial Services?
Before diving deeper, let’s define corporate secretarial services. These services encompass a wide range of administrative and compliance tasks vital for any business. Think of them as the backstage crew of a theater production. Although they aren’t in the spotlight, the show couldn’t proceed without them. From maintaining statutory records to organizing board meetings and filing annual returns, they handle the essentials so you can focus on your strengths.
Maintaining Compliance and Order
Imagine a day free from the stress of missing filing deadlines or scrambling for documents before a board meeting. Corporate secretarial services Singapore ensure all compliance needs are met promptly. They maintain statutory registers, prepare and file necessary documents, and track deadlines. This translates to fewer sleepless nights worrying about fines or missed opportunities.
Enhancing Communication and Coordination
In an office setting, miscommunication can lead to costly mistakes. Corporate secretarial services act as a central communication hub, ensuring everyone is aligned. They coordinate between departments, manage correspondence, and facilitate smooth information flow. This boosts productivity and fosters a collaborative work environment.
Maximizing Time Efficiency
Time is a valuable resource. By outsourcing routine administrative tasks to corporate secretarial services, you free up your team to focus on strategic initiatives. Instead of being bogged down by paperwork, your staff can concentrate on driving growth and innovation. It’s like having a personal assistant for your entire office.
Expert Guidance for Compliance
Navigating the complex world of corporate governance and compliance can be daunting. With corporate secretarial services, you gain access to experts well-versed in the latest regulations and best practices. They provide invaluable guidance, ensuring your business remains compliant. This expertise is particularly beneficial for startups and small businesses.
Cost-Effective and Flexible Solutions
Hiring a full-time staff member for secretarial duties can be costly. Corporate secretarial services offer a cost-effective alternative, providing the same level of expertise without the overhead. You only pay for the services you need, making it a flexible and budget-friendly option. The peace of mind knowing your compliance needs are covered is priceless.
A Day in the Life of a Startup Manager
Imagine managing a growing tech startup. Your team is brilliant but stretched thin. With a big investor meeting approaching, the last thing you need is to worry about paperwork. By partnering with a corporate secretarial service, you can focus on your pitch while they handle the administrative details. They prepare documents, ensure compliance, and organize logistics. On the day of the presentation, everything goes smoothly, thanks to your secretarial team.
Making the Right Decision
Should you integrate corporate secretarial services into your operations? If you want to enhance efficiency, ensure compliance, and free up time, the answer is yes. These services offer a practical solution for businesses seeking to streamline operations and focus on growth.
Conclusion: Embrace the Future
In today’s fast-paced business world, staying ahead is crucial. Corporate secretarial services provide the support needed to keep your office running smoothly. Have you considered using corporate secretarial services? Share your thoughts or experiences! A streamlined office is a successful office.

The thing about “able bodied” people on Medicaid is that most of them can’t work because they already do work, or are caretakers for family, or in fact are not able bodied at all and simply haven’t been able to navigate the disability system. They are mostly not young healthy people who can pick lettuce or harvest onions or weed fields in 100 degree heat.

Canada’s government treats war funding as urgent but climate action as ‘unrealistic’ despite heat domes killing 20x more people than terrorism. While military spending is set to soar to 5% GDP, climate gets scraps at 0.7% GDP, half of which funds fossil fuel scams like carbon capture.
The real security threat is climate chaos displacing millions and collapsing food systems Yet we’re buying missile shields instead of mass electrification.
For years, the climate movement has been calling on the federal government to spend two per cent of GDP on climate infrastructure and action, to no avail.

I think a lot of people have heard of OpenAI’s local-friendly Whisper model, but I don’t see enough self-hosters talking about WhisperX, so I’ll hop on the soapbox:
Whisper is extremely good when you have lots of audio with one person talking, but fails hard in a conversational setting with people talking over each other. It’s also hard to sync up transcripts with the original audio.
Enter WhisperX: WhisperX is an improved whisper implementation that automatically tags who is talking, and tags each line of speech with a timestamp.
I’ve found it great for DMing TTRPGs — simply record your session with a conference mic, run a transcript with WhisperX, and pass the output to a long-context LLM for easy session summaries. It’s a great way to avoid slowing down the game by taking notes on minor events and NPCs.
I’ve also used it in a hacky script pipeline to bulk download podcast episodes with yt-dlp, create searchable transcripts, and scrub ads by having an LLM sniff out timestamps to cut with ffmpeg.
Privacy-friendly, modest hardware requirements, and good at what it does. WhisperX, apply directly to the forehead.
Now that's an interesting angle. I am a mediocre musician on my best day, but sometimes I incorporate phrases and lyric snippits in a piece. I wonder if I could use WhisperX to find those words or phrases from a stack of songs. For instance, I did a piece that used a line from Jimi Hendrix's 'If 6 were 9' where he says 'I'm the one who's gotta die when it's time for me to die. So let me live my life the way I want to.' I wonder if WhisperX could pick that out of a stack of Jimi Hendrix songs.

People get together at random for the experience they are involved with. For instance, some friends were hashers. They get together for a crosscountry style run and drink beer afterwards and then go home. My friends met hashing and later married. In conversations about the activity, the connections they had with others doing the same were mostly only activity based and did not extend out from there. Hook ups were frequent among some, but my friends experience was an outlier.
Jack Dorsey, cofundador do Twitter, lançou o #Bitchat, um aplicativo de mensagens que funciona via Bluetooth, sem internet, sinal de celular ou servidores. O app é descentralizado, criptografado de ponta a ponta e não exige cadastro nem coleta dados pessoais. As mensagens são transmitidas por uma rede entre os próprios celulares, formando uma malha (mesh) que pode cobrir até 300 metros. Podendo ser usado em locais com restrição de sinal, protestos ou situações de emergência, o Bitchat também conta com um modo que apaga todos os dados do dispositivo com três toques. A versão beta está disponível para iOS e macOS.
@pBaesse gente, pra que usar mensageiro de bilionário, ainda mais um defensor da liberdade de expressão ilimitada, quando já tínhamos o Briar? Além disso, o Briar é de código aberto.
@cadusilva @kennergf @briar boy, fico puto demais com isso. Pq ele não contribuiu e divulga o projeto, mas não. Ele tem fazer o dele para ter controle e mais notoriedade

Assim como já faz mais popularidade o céu azul do que o :fediverso: que está aí há muitos anos.
@pBaesse por isso tinha visto alguns posts sobre esse Bitchat. Quando tem bilionário no meio, a imprensa de tecnologia corre pra anunciar :ms_laughing:
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the ... Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.
The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy.
This is, of course, a lie. There is no tax reduction in that bill for SS recipients.
Yeah I got that lie too... evidently he has the Social Security Head in his collection of corrupted government positions spreading lies about the tax bill etc.
