Paying 20% - 40% more for dumbed-down OS that limits what software I can use. I mean literally any one of those alone is a deal breaker. It was never gonna work.

I first used Linux in the late 90s, and it was just something that worked better on an older box. I installed Red Hat on an old 286 and the fun part was honestly getting it to work and learning about computers. Then one day I realized that I was spending all my free time working inside on this thing, but I was living on the water, in the Florida Keys, with access to boats and jet skis and pretty much anything. That had been my dream my whole life and all of a sudden I was living it. And I didn’t even have to be at work, right next door, until 10am. I was on a break from school then, and that’s actually what caused me to change my major from CS. I didn’t think it would be helpful to spend my whole life indoors!

Now I’m a physics teacher and I sometimes teach my 9th graders how to use Python for simple things like graphing. I love my life and I’m really thankful I keot computers as a hobby rather than as my profession.

The kind of writing they do is it try to explain in English why their incorrect answers doing actually work. It’s a really great way to get them thinking, and to get me some insight into how they understand the concepts.

But also kids just need to practice writing! It’s a superpower! And it’s an important part of gathering info and explaining it to yourself!

I teach kids how to do physics, and how to write about doing physics.

Pepperoni and pineapple pizza. The sweet and tangy go sooooo well together!

This is so much more complex than the HGP

Yeah, remember when you used to have to buy minutes??! With some plans you could roll over unused minutes, but with others you couldn’t! Like 20 bucks for 100 minutes and you couldn’t even save them from month to month! I’m glad those days are gone, but I’m not sure we’re paying any less…

I did a similar thing, but I would tell them the phone number of the public phone I was calling from, so they could call me and we could have a normal conversation. If they didn’t call right away, I’d do it again, knowing they’d be waiting for the number this time.

Apparently as long as it’s not a paper towel you’re alright. So go ahead and wipe your tush.

Orcas are dolphins, but porpoises are not.

You’re right of course.

The Moral Majority was the real start. Friggin Reagan invited the loonies in and the right has literally never recovered. We’re all paying the price.

I think if he had been a different person, he might have played FIFA (which you can play on PC just as easily!)

I don’t know anything about you, but that’s like the archetypal narcissist’s response!

“Obviously you made a mistake, otherwise you’d be agreeing with me.” 🤣🤣

Definitely didn’t misread the article. Maybe you’re misunderstanding it?

Umm, no there is not a government agency in this country (US) that provides “oversight” of journalists in order to ensure “responsible” reporting. Some organizations put up with that as a way of operating in certain countries, but you should definitely always be looking for sources that DO NOT. That is not a free press.

But in this case CNN is requiring this themselves. reputable news organizations don’t have the regional bureau okay the stories.

It’s just ennervating to keep reading people complain that TV “news” is biased. There’s no such thing at a television news organization, pure and simple.

This is an easy fix: stop reading CNN. I am of course assuming that you have already realized “watching” the news is like asking your parents to read you a story, and letting them choose every story. That’s not news, that’s entertainment and it’s not very entertaining. Go read what the journalists are writing, and try to read a lot of them.

Stuff doesn’t make us happy, people do. It’s always been like that. If we spend less time with people, in person, we will be less happy.
