Just reminded me of a history teacher who, when teaching the Containment policy, showed us a jar with a slip of paper contained within, which read “COMMUNISM”. Displayed prominently in the classroom thereafter.
Didn’t work on me. When my assigned seat changed such that the jar and I were out of view of the teacher while at the board, I popped the lid off in front of everyone.
Lol
Would like a variant on this, the bugs and darkness of the woods would drive me insane:
And I’ll finally be able to complete everything on my bucket list that doesn’t involve travelling.
You can lead a horse to water … I get the sentiment though. Schooling is a great idea that is too often poorly executed. I’ve found that educational materials for math and science sometimes have a circlejerk kind of attitude, like the authors are laughing at the thought of students struggling with a problem “left as an exercise to the reader” immediately following a wall of dense, incomprehensible text.
Where can I find examples of otherwise dry subjects taught well? Is there an educational system that’s praised in the same way they praise Scandinavian prisons? Or is the pain of learning just a necessary evil?
Sometimes I think about what it takes to build a precision EMP device that works like a laser pointer. For this exact scenario.
Plain text is how I have it set up. I have the files named by date in one folder (made effortless with my small script) and a plain text editor on my phone, also pointed to a specific folder. The setup is pretty much ready for Syncthing if I wanted to automate syncing, but I haven’t bothered yet.
It is evident from the current top-level comments that more education is needed.
It bugs me how, within a month after Apple releases a new iPhone, small-time manufacturers put together the hardware, custom ROMs, and tooling to pump out bespoke knock-offs of the latest model. Which sell for maybe $200. While we’re stuck worrying that the development of a new Linux phone, with completely ordinary hardware by today’s standards, might get mismanaged to hell or ends up costing a fortune.
I would rather meet bona fide rightists than pot-stirrers like OP
Also vanilla, but artificial vanillin is more or less the same chemical as natural vanillin.
