I have a hard time relating to this. My mom never had any pressure to do have me do any extracurriculars, and I didn't really do any. It was enough to just pass my classes and graduate. My local community college…
That definitely does not match my experience. I was in Japan in December of 2022 and used my phone to get everywhere, the directions were extremely accurate, more-so than in my home town in the US.
It would take me just as long to get my phone out of my pocket as it would to get my wallet out. Plus a lot of machines have tap pay now if your card supports it.
I actually get about 13,000 steps a day with a 9-5 job. I get two 15 minute breaks and an hour lunch, so I take three 15 minute walks per day. I work at a large campus, so it's not hard to get steps in.
This doesn't surprise me. A personal anecdote: a couple of years ago I traveled to Japan for the first time. During my time there, I walked much, much more than I usually do. As a result, I was physically exhausted at…
I don't have kids, but I do want kids some day, and I think about this kind of thing a lot. I didn't have a phone of any kind until I was 18, and I didn't have a smartphone until I was 23. I had restricted internet…
I have a Nehalem/Lynnfield i5 750 that still runs like a champ. Won't play modern games without a good GPU but otherwise does everything I ask it to, and is still pretty snappy for its age. The biggest reason it's not…
Most of my best field trips as a kid involved OMSI.
Interesting! I was not aware of this.
Would that not mean you can't install any browser other than Safari? Because I'm running Firefox right now on iOS. Or does "ban" mean something else in this context?
I've had a very poor experience with Comcast/Xfininity's DNS. Anytime I'm managing a network with Comcast as the internet provider, I change the DNS to Google or Cloudflare. Or with pfsense I just use the root DNS…
9000 in the first few English dubs. 8000 in the manga and DBZ Kai.
This is exactly why I own an iPhone. I don't even personally like apple as a company. I don't like Mac computers. There are things that really irritate me about iPhones, but I use them anyway because of how long they…
It's easy for me to forget how different my circumstances are from most other people. I'm far more likely to be in a place where I have no WiFi than a place where I have no cell service. And I don't personally know…
That used to be my experience years ago, but now whether I use android or iphone, I see the whole group.
I've never really understood what people mean by this. For me, iMessage is indistinguishable from SMS, except for the color of the messages, and the fact that I can use iMessage over WiFi.
I've never been a big fan of HP, but they seem to be roughly equivalent to the Optiplexes. The lab I used to work in had dozens of them and they seemed to run just fine without complaints.
Yep ThinkCentres, Optiplexes, and Elite Desks go for pennies on eBay.
That's what my high school did. 4 block periods per day. We had "A" days and "B" days. A days were 1st, 3, 5th, and 7th period. B days were 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th period. I never had two math classes in the same…
My experiences with Linux have been anything but seamless.
Not sure why you were downvoted. I laughed.
K-12 are "free" (funded in large part by property taxes, as I understand it). Higher Education is not, though public colleges tend to be cheaper, from what I've seen.
I got lucky and snagged a 32 inch 720p TV that still had composite video connectors a few years ago. Works great with all of my consoles, as far back as my N64.
Sure we are. If you make your content available on a public platform, where it is both possible and legal to watch it for free, then we are entitled to it if we choose to utilize the tools that make it possible, until…
When I first started using Youtube in late 2006, it didn't have ads, and I didn't have an ad-blocker because I didn't know they existed. Since then, I've more or less used Youtube the same way as I did. I use an…
