Holy shit that's a dumb old myth.

Massachusetts smack dab in the middle of taxes, even though we carry everybody else's fucking weight.

The emergency default setting for the lights if you turn everything off, ironically is to keep the lights on.

A bird in the hand is the first one I could take

The name is intentional, as a joke. It's not like it means something else in German. All their products have jokey names, like "Marie Juana" etc.

It's Porno in Germany, where these chips are from...

Messy

Lol my state is garbage too

Wow, you really put a lot of thought into that, didn't you? Tell me what state you live in that's superior. I know Mass isn't perfect and has its own issues but it's better than living in most other US states unless you're somewhere like Hawaii.

How much time have you spent in Mass (outside of just Boston)? Where do you live that's so much better?

The school and system were built in 2012. The original company that the school was built by was some cheap company that built identical schools all over and my town "won" a new school after submitting an application so the town would only have to pay something like half of what schools normally cost. The company closed a while ago. This is a town where the average income is over $100K. They didn't even put air conditioners in this new school despite it being a 3-story school that at one point had almost 4,000 students between grades 9-12. There has just been one problem after another with this school from trying to save money.

Thought this was r/Massachusetts for a sec

They claim they tried that and found if they did that it would disable all lights and there's no backup way to turn them on.

The school tried to save money when building the school in 2012 and that apparently didn't include a manual override or shut-off feature. If they shut off all power, kids couldn't go to school so that's not an option.

12 is my ceiling.

You would think but apparently that's too much thinking for school admin and no manual light switches. They tried to do everything to cut corners when building the school in 2012 and I guess figured teachers didn't need to be able to control their lights. They also cheaped out by not installing air conditioning in a 3-story high school that at one time had almost 4,000 students across grades 9-12, all with laptops. I have two friends that are teachers at this school and ever since the new school opened, it seems like it's just been one problem after another.

A bird in the hand is the green house in a university where it will take a long walk to the end of the day so so we will be there at the end of the day we will miss it out there in a few minutes

They should bypass the whole system and replace the bulbs with individually controlled ones. They will be able to set the bulbs to whatever schedule they like.

A bird in my hand has to go back down to the top and the rest of the world to get the cat off my chest lol

A bird in the hand is okay 👍🏻

Or unplug the server.

A bird in the hand is the most common form for the disease in humans but the bird has been around since it first appeared on a bird before the bird died of bird disease

A bird in the hand is worth two on the bush

iirc the original company who installed it is gone, the company they bought the lights from is also gone, and the replacement parts are on back order or something from china. you’d think there’s a breaker or something to turn off the lights, or maybe the power company could shut it off?

We got the same. A bit odd, too
