And the one company won’t release a Linux version either. Sure, Wine exists, but it’s not nearly as good as native support.

No clue how complicated PDFs, with all of its different versions are. Especially if some software make PDFs that don’t even comply with official spec (not sure how often happens though).

Gimp is really bad with exporting large PDFs. Like 60 pages and it crashed my 16gb ram laptop because it ran out of memory after like spending at least an hour.

I’ve yet to find one. Pdf24 is free but not Foss and decent for certain tasks, but it’s not a great editor. After using the paid version of xchange for as long as I have, using free options just leaves me disappointed.

even a child can understand acceleration and its relationship to changes in velocity

I remember trying to figure out if a specific infinite sequence converges or diverges because I was playing Sonic. I didn’t have any algebra nor calculators that could handle precise calculations nor the terminology I refer to it as now, so I was just trying to guess by doing calculations by hand to see if it looked like it was plateauing to something or if it looks like it was gonna keep growing.

Not sure if its actually useful, but it was something I cared about regardless. Children should play with math more.

Like 90% of concepts from those classes wouldn’t really help people in the world around them, not just “they won’t use integrals daily” but rather they won’t be taught in a way where they’ll connect differentials to what they see in the world or news.

That’s one of the things I find most disappointing about the education system. Like, people technically pass classes that are supposed to ensure they’ve “mastered” certain concepts, but few seem to even notice how they could be applied outside a narrow scope of specifically worded problems. Its so strange hearing people say things like “unless I’m like a math teacher, this is all useless for me outside of class” when calculus specifically was something that I could immediately connect to problems I had outside school immediately.

Even when taking classes that seem to be designed around trying to build real-world problem-solving skills, the classes generally seem to devolve into teachers teaching an algorithm for solving a hyper-specific question, assigning homework doing those hyper-specific question types over and over, and then testing on those hyper-specific questions with different numbers. Those students seem to be virtually no better at identifying how to apply math to real-world problems after such courses…

I feel like calculus should probably start to be introduced in like maybe late-elementary-age? Certainly before high-school-age. I don’t think everyone needs a dedicated 1-year course on it, but some of the concepts are certainly useful and understandable at that age. Regardless of whether its from compulsory education or some alternative education process.

How do you even walk if you don’t know calculus?

Taxes, cheap digital keyboard, sff pc for livingroom media center, then rest to mortgage. Laser hair removal would be on the list, but figuring out where to go an such and confirming an appointment wouldn’t happen in a day, but not needing to pay mortgage for a while would make affording such easy.

There’s also humans in the world. Not just drivers.

I’d say some of my happiest moments aren’t thinks worth remembering the details of typically. Like, one time after we had moved recently, I accidentally was about to turn at the turn before our apartment. Blinker on and everything and my roomate told me it was the wrong turn and I responded “its too late” and turned anyways - not to troll or anything, just how my brain decided to deal with the last minute information. Anyways, after turning around and making it back home, I was just literally rolling on the floor laughing in pain from the incident for reasons beyond my understanding. Only remember that one because we continued to making “its too late” jokes since then - otherwise it would soon have been forgotten. So I’d say my happiest moments just tend to be otherwise insignificant interactions with those that I love and that’s never really changed.

Pay in bulk.

The author details are also a big flag that its satire.

Flagg Eagleton - Patriot Flagg Eagleton is the son of an American potato farmer and a patriot. After spending 4 years in the Navy and 7 on welfare picking himself up by the bootstraps, Flagg finally got his HVAC certificate and is hard at work keeping the mobile homes of Tallahassee at a comfy 83 degrees.

For those who wanted to know, the FAA usually handles about 44k flights a day. So about 6% canceled and 23% delayed.

Mine is 0-20% Each being a different type of mistake.

Obtaining HRT may get your name added to databases managed by fascist governments. Side effects of may include discrimination, including up to death.

Adderall deployment proved that tit wasn’t a type after all.

Other times, it’s more direct coded language and symbols. It’s probably less unknown these days, but some common examples of codes are the sonnenrad ‘Black Sun’ symbol, Nazi-era pseudo-runes (not to be confused with legitimate historical Germanic runes!), the numbers 14 and 88, and more.

I know someone who used 88 in a username on accident, not knowing how cryptonazis use it. He found out because he got called out for it and asked to explain. After finding out what 88 can mean, he changed his username because he didn’t want to be mistaken as a nazi. TBF, his initial reaction was “wtf, why would someone suggest I’m a nazi and want to ban me because I have some numbers at the end of my name?” I think some people take it for granted that others are aware of these things.

Same. I was trying to figure out how this was some dysphoria hoodie joke, but the sentence wasn’t even grammatically correct…

If they’re likely on their way out of power next election anyways, why not just accelerate and aim to not even pretend to have a fair election?
