This is the third time this year that I have come across this. I am pissed that it was never taught in school... and that apparently I keep forgetting it every time.
Thank you for taking the time to write it out! Funnily enough I'm not too bad at math (I tapped out at around linear algebra level) but I was taught in a very rigid way. Useful concepts like commutativity were just... read out loud to kids to be remembered as a Law Of Nature, instead of allowing kids to play with numbers and develop our numbers intuition. So while I have a decent theoretical knowledge, I'm terrible at applying what I know to real life. If that makes any sense?
Also, if you have any tricks for teaching percentages, ratios and basic statistics PLEASE SHARE. My partner has a new job and while he shines at the field work aspect, he has trouble with the mathier parts. He's had godawful terrible teachers his whole life. I've tried coaching him in math but my methods don't click with him. We also don't have the time to wade through dozens of YouTube videos hoping to hit the holy grail...
Yeah in my experience watching youtube videos passively is a waste of time. Time is better spent struggling with math practice problems and guiding him theough it when he’s stuck :-)
That we'd all be better off if we accepted our own fallibility. That we are not perfect little robots, and as a result more tolerance and forgiveness in the world is necessary.
The fact that we're giving you crane the bare minimum means we are perfectly happy with them being chewed up to burn Russia's resources before they can reach anybody that we're contractually obligated to defend is kind of fucked up
You somehow thinking that the word "lemmy" is from lemon...? That's a level of idiocy that shouldn't be possible. It's Lemmings, and the logo is a lemming, which is obvious. How the fuck is it even possible to miss any of this?
if you were actually around long enough there were literally polls of what to call Lemmy users. Lemons was actually the top name for a bit, but lemmings won out. So. Try not to be so needlessly mean. It was named Lemmy not just because of the animals called Lemmings, but also Lemmy from motörhead. that's like two sentences into the Wikipedia page.
Ahh… well, in fairness- the ‘don’t vote in protest and expect things to change for the better as a result’ crowd is more annoying than ever this year, so it’s probably because of that.
That you should never use the same password for more than one site, especially some random Chinese eshop. I don't get why people refuse to use password managers, ffs...
When changing lanes or turning you are supposed to use the turning signal before doing the manouver. The turning signal is supposed to warn other drivers that you are going to do something. It doesn't make any sense to use the turning signal when already mid-turning or while already changing lanes. Many drivers don't seem to know that.
I intentionally sought out a used vehicle with haptic menu controls. It pissed me off when I realized there was no point of having it, because the UI still locks me out of most of the interface when I am not completely stopped.
It seems like the next generation just entirely gave up on the concept of safety.
