Jokes on you, I’m laying down with a pillow perfectly placed for posture.

Me when I’m unwilling to lane change once on the freeway.

Teaching stats and using percentages now and again, it’s not really that useful of a tool most of the time since you aren’t usually working with an easy number like 50 (Or 10, 20, 25, etc.).

Usually what I’m doing is breaking it down into manageable parts (factors), so 6% is 5% + 1% which I can usually do in my head regardless of the number (or if 5% hard, work in increments of 1%, which I can multiply by 6).

It’s a pretty common strategy to with with factors. Just surprised how many of my students don’t know it!

Ohhh. Great PSA to some of us who start out.

Ahh, ok that makes sense. Reading other posts, pretty sure my wifi chip is the same as OP.

This was also my first issue in Linux but it turned out my duel boot was somehow screwing things up. Windows broke WiFi for Linux, then when I booted into Windows it was broken there too. I blame Windows because it was right after a series of updates, but I have no idea why it’d impact other independent OS on other drives.

Unfortunately I forgot the solution. It was probably since bios impacting thing, like how they often say to disable fast boot and junk.

Reminds me I’m currently writing up new stuff on my course syllabus regarding LLMs, not because of the rampant cheating but because when they use them they usually get terrible grades. I already had rules, but I’m trying to rework the assignments so they either can’t really use it, are allowed to use it with guidence, or graded in a way that minimizes those scores so they get the hallucination F they deserve but have a chance to ultimately redeem it.

Teaching sucks now, HAL. :(

Good argument for low-flow toilets (which my water company literally offers to pay for lol)

Yeah, best not to socialize too much in that way. I used to work a contract government gig and would usually be the only person there at 5am to avoid traffic/get home early for kids and the only other person to come in pre-8am was an extremely religious person (well, and a janitor who believed in nephilim who had human decendants who walked along us— but he didn’t socialize, so much a listen to crazy shit while cleaning)

Anyway, you better believe I didn’t share my dark athiest humor and still got along fine somehow, maybe since I let out just enough edgyness to be interesting without being alienating. It’s indeed walking on eggshells, but so is having pro-trans views, anti-capitalist views, etc.; that’s what we have online circles on Lemmy for.

“Does this have cheese? I can’t eat cheese. Is it spicy? I don’t like spicy. I don’t like rice. What is this. Cil-ant-ro? What’s that. I don’t like that.”

Grandma, why the fuck are we ordering Mexican food, then?

^ Literally two weeks ago when I visited. She had a refried bean burrito. But then again, what did I expect-- she made me reboil her plate of carbonara until it was mush; although I guess that’s on me to assume she can eat normal consistency pasta.

No, don’t first date mini golf unless you want them to know how you look incredibly frustrated and on the verge of chucking a club at a fucking windmill.

Isn’t “It’s not you, it’s me” the ultimate example of parallel sentence structure? Lol

But let’s be real, it’s more like…

💔 Here’s three reasons reasons we’re breaking up:

• Our personalities don’t match-- according to (made up citation) people with you type are toxic.
• Your idiology doesn’t match mine-- you don’t believe in White South African genocide.
• We aren’t compatible-- our personalities aren’t complimentary.

And so on. Lol

Restarts into Grub which autos to Linux and when I go back to Windows it’s all pissy at me.

Yes but wouldn’t you like to sign up for an outlook account? No? Sorry that wasn’t a question, this full screen window has no X and you will comply.

… unless you do the thing that skips it, but man that’s an awful experience.

I’ve seen enough knew high sock posts to know these are not apropos of nothing.

See, this explains Full Metal Alchemists premise; the brothers were Vibe Arcaning their dead mother.

Imma be real with y’all, at this point I’d welcome that as it’s less likely to be an auto generated AI message.

It’s also important to let others know you’re turning with a turn signal approx. 420 bibles away from an intersection.

I mean, while we’re being pedantic, you can never cut exactly 2/3 an apple for everyone, down to the atoms. Even with homogeneous apples.

That’s why you get the knife subscription plan.
