Gosh, I wish someone would make some similar pain happen in the U.S. We seem to only care about war with Iran when gas prices rise too high.

…uh, should I worry?

As a math teacher, I really wish the kids would realize that 42 is the number to beat all numbers

Is this what’s happening with the data centers, too? We’ll be expected to access the internet through the cloud or centralized servers, so it doesn’t matter to big tech that computer parts are unaffordable to consumers? For the record, I am not happy about it.

Somebody educate me, please. It’s worse when I don’t know exactly what’s happening.

Edit: strikethrough

You make boxed mac and add a spoonful of kimchi after?

I keep wanting to make “we are flocked” signs with arrows pointing at the cameras, but I don’t know if I should worry about putting them up.

Predate doesn’t only mean that someone lived and died before something else. I predate combined Taco Bell/KFC/Pizza Huts Kentaco Huts, but I’m also still living. Like Bill.

We all took typing, though

Is the “er” for the effect of the accent…

How do you clip a flashlight to your baseball cap? It must not dangle at all?

Next to me would be FINE. On my face? No, thank you, sweetums.

Also door jambs

This is related to why I’m so nervous about teaching social studies next year. Can anyone help me think about how to teach US history without shoving a bunch of propaganda down middle school throats?

Oh wow!.. Me too, until just now.

Maybe get an intercom

As a public school teacher, part of our training on AI is to use it in our classrooms and to talk about using it, like you would in making a citation.

I do use it to construct rote tasks, especially materials for vocabulary practice which are great but aren’t worth my energy to spend much time on. I always tell the kids when I’ve used AI to create sentences, etc. I think it’s great for them to see usage modelled responsibly.

It would be a disadvantage to deny kids usage altogether, and prompting AI should be explicitly taught as a skill set. Cheating is definitely an issue, but more and more teachers are moving away from rampant computer usage in class and thinking actively about how to forestall such cheating.

And there’s no doin’ anything about it.

I sincerely think that it is about what you’re used to. I used to drink coffee with whole milk, which I loved, but I wanted to stop drinking cow milk. I started using UNsweetened silk soy milk and first I didn’t like it as much. It honestly took me a week or two to get used to it, but at this point I absolutely prefer it. Luckily I could purposely align my taste buds with my morals 😂

Regarding oat milk, the black barista containers are my favorite. I agree that oat milk can be thin, but like I said before, I think you can get used to and appreciate any coffee additive. And at a cafe, I would choose oat milk for any espresso drink.

Side note: I couldn’t find the green unsweetened container at the grocery store last week, so I bought the container that has a little bit of sugar. I hate it. It should be basically the same thing, but it’s different enough that I am put off. It still cuts the acidity of the coffee, so I’m drinking it, but it’s definitely not what I prefer. Bodies are so weird.

Edit: by the end of this week with the red silk soymilk I’m already used to it 🙄 still looking forward to going back to unsweetened, but bodies are wild.

I know you can prove descent through Irish grandparents, but I thought that might change here because he was a naturalized Irish citizen and not a citizen by birth.
