It's made for people of a certain age, and those people don't go to the movies much I think.

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.

Better call Saul!

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.

I think it CAN be harmful to some dogs though!

By being a life-long learner! Seriously, learning is an active thing, it's not something we have to be sitting in a room to receive. So as we read and learn more, we realize that some of the things we learned are different from what we thought. It's something we should all be doing as we learn and reflect.

I'm not going to argue with astronomers about how they define planets. I do my job, they do theirs!

You wouldn't call a person a dwarf, period. So don't do that. If you ever meet a little person, they'll probably refer to themselves as a little person. You should just follow their lead

A dwarf planet is not a category of planets. It is a category of sub-planetary objects. This is how the term "dwarf planet" was adopted by the IAU in 2006. It did used to mean "type of planet", but there are just too many of them, and they're really too different from planets, so it literally does not mean that anymore. At least to astronomers.

Some classics:

• lactic acid buildup makes your muscles hurt after a workout
• blood that's returning to the heart and lungs is blue, blood that's leaving your heart to go do it's thing is red
• sugar makes kids hyper

All three of those things have been thoroughly debunked, and are demonstrably false, and yet we teach them all the time. Sometimes it's even SCIENCE TEACHERS that are repeating these things, and sometimes it's right in the textbook!

An even better idea: make your OWN list! Don't expect someone else to tell you the truth if you're not working to search for it yourself!

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.

This binary system, T. Coronae Borealis, is 2500 light years away. That means the event we're about to witness actually occurred 2500 years ago, and the light that it emitted is just about to reach our solar system.

Unitarian-Universalists don't have a problem at all with masturbation, and they encourage you to explore and accept your body. That sounds pretty masturbation positive to me!

You can eventually start camping solo, but you're going to have a much harder time learning how to do it if you're alone. The idea is to go calling with people until you're well-versed enough to go out alone.

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

8:30-3:00 baby, though honestly 3:45 or 4:00 would be better. I get 40 minutes for lunch and 90 minutes alone without students. I've got it nice.

I'm not seeing the most basic bit of advice in my brief perusal, but even so it needs repeating: find a camping buddy. That is by far the easiest way to get into camping. And honestly you shouldn't be going out on your own as a novice anyway.

Ask the people you know, or the people THEY know. If that doesn't work then try local camping groups near you. Lots of people are looking for others to go camping with, so you're a commodity! Get together with them before your first trip to go over packing lists and menus, and maybe even go grocery shopping together before hand. I really didn't recommend going out there in your own, buying everything you need, etc etc. Start with someone else, see if you're into it, and next steps will be obvious. You were born to live out there, it comes pretty naturally no matter how many thousands of years your people have been in the city--you were out there much much longer!

Flying the flag upside is a distress signal. People who use it as a political statement are misusing the flag, and that is the actual disrespect here.

Your therapist should be helping YOU make that realization. They actually have an ethical obligation not to make recommendations like that, as far as I'm concerned.

But friends are definitely supposed to tell one another what they're seeing, that's what friends are for!

This is so much more complex than the HGP

Not with a sailor in the mix, it's not!

Nobody was being asked for their social media credentials, it's not like you have to give them full access. What happened was that the attorneys looked the jurors up and went through their old posts, all stuff that was publicly available. One of the jurors they dismissed posted a picture of people celebrating Biden's election win, and that was enough to show that they were biased.

What band are you talking about?

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.

So much

In the disability advocacy community, we like to say that accessibility is for everyone!

"Fatherless households" is just racist code for black families.

For large sums of money, it's pretty common to use cashier's checks, which is probably the kind of check that they're talking about here.

Have you considered playing the drums?

Country is wild and beautiful, farmland is manmade, flat, and boring. It's kind of ugly too, at least when you think about all of the displaced wildlife.

As a teacher, I treasure all of the heart-felt notes and letters students have left me over the years. If you want to give something that shows them how important they are to you, write them a letter.

I left Miami in 2011, but before then Aromas del Peru was my JAAAAAAM!! They were either gone or had moved, but if they're still around and it's the same people, that's definitely gonna be some awesome non-yuppie ceviche.

That's not the country, that's just farmland. It's sad how many of us are growing up without any kind of wilderness nearby.

Pi is irrational because it represents an imperfect ratio. Curves are different than straight lines, so when you try to relate them to one another, some things don't match up. It happens any time straight lines and curved lines interact, I think. Pi and e both show up in the weirdest friggin places.

I'm reading Truth of the Divine by Lindsay Ellis. It's pretty good, and lots of novel ideas, but some of the sentences are better than others.
