The Kentucky Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a measure establishing
public funding for charter schools is unconstitutional,
affirming that state funds “are for common schools and for nothing else.”
The 2022 measure was enacted by the state’s Republican-dominated legislature over Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto.
It was struck down the next year by a lower court.
The state’s high court ruled the “Constitution as it stands is clear that it does not permit funnel…

I'm exploring Irish census data to try to understand more about one-off "rural" housing, and have accidentally discovered that the most densely-populated small-area in Ireland is in Limerick's Dock Rd, where 255 people live in apartments with a ground area of 2,500m2.
One-off houses in the country are typically on "half-acre" plots, i.e., 2,000m2.

A few months after handing in my thesis and receiving my Master of Science degree in 2022, ChatGPT was released. Essentially, nothing about how I solve problems has changed since then, but I had to continuously observe the brain drain around me.

I generally hate buying new computing devices and try to make them last as long as possible. I bought a used/refurb iPad 5th Gen in 2022 for $199 and got 2 years of solid use before I upgraded to a 6th Gen in 2024 (for $170) so I could use an Apple Pencil.
I then put the old 5th Gen on my trainer bike as a video player and it still works great.
But sadly, two years in the 6th Gen now has dead spots on the screen. I may need to replace it.
