i dont support Roiland after finding out what he did. i do however support the show and love mrpoopy so yea he is my pfp. and they already have a new voice actor anyways so whats the point trying to be made here?.

[lilac bear]

all that "you need a high IQ to understand the show" BS

alot of people dont realize just how finite life actually is. most people on average live 75 years. sounds like alot but really its only 75 summers and 75 winters.

not alot is it?

but were the lucky ones after all we actually get to live and die

[plush cloak]

Bro start counting to 75

It takes a while

But for life, yeah not that much

[brisk orchid]

in the grand scheme of life it isn't.

Anyone notice reddit is down?

[white pawn]

nope, currently using it

[hasty needle]

https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/reddit

[mental kayak]

look up stenography on youtube- it is normal a normal qwerty keyboard layout and very different usage. ex - you hold different paterns to auto fill words etc.

it is pretty much only useful for transcribing old documents (maybe ones that OCR cant do), and for court reporting fast-paced conversations continuously and accurately. also for government/spying type work it is used. Not useful to type your essay, for example, because your going to be limited by how quick you can come up with the bullshit to type lol

[white pawn]

so i need a website that is redditisupformebutnoteveryone 🙂

[molten drift]

I am so happy that cellphones have calculators...

[hasty needle]

They're doing maintenance on it

[mental kayak]

yeah reddit has been a pile of shit for me today

it'll load threads but not the comments sometimes

[molten drift]

I just had a breakthrough in the magic deck I'm making . And I took a 5 power creature to over 10,000 power and I just stopped counting.

[hasty needle]

Yeah, I just keep refreshing the page or ctrl + shift + r

that does something with the cache while refreshing the page (I think)

[mental kayak]

yep same here, after a few refreshes it loads

[white pawn]

LOL i really wanna meet up with one of my old math teachers from school who used to tell me that we needed to know how to do everything manually, because people won't ever be carrying a calulator with them at all times so ya never know when you'll need the skill 😛

he was really a good teacher tho, with a great sense of humor and the ability to laugh at himself, so i can only imagine what his response would be

[molten drift]

I mean a lot of it is doubling ..but still... When you take a 5/4 to a possibly infinite infinite. And I gave up at 10,000/10,000 .. which is bonkers for magic the gathering games.

[white pawn]

yup

admittedly i quit playing magic a LOOOONG time ago when they basically made half the first gen cards illegal for tourney play

[molten drift]

Oh .. and it has trample. Possibly unblockable and possible lifelink. But the trample is a given

[white pawn]

i just didn't wanna hafta relearn it all over again

since i learned to play mostly for a girl i was chasing

[molten drift]

I mean.... You can atleast imagine someone going ... -list of triggers- I swing for 10,000 trample at -insert player name-

And that's on one card... The buffs effect all my creatures.

[carmine stirrup]

Woohoooooo!! Top 20k on Folding 😄

[white pawn]

[sudden bough]

[white pawn]

looks like 11 active clients

[sudden bough]

pft

i see it

[carmine stirrup]

Two machines

[sudden bough]

ive done 0 ;O

[carmine stirrup]

but currently 7 processes between them

[sudden bough]

it cooks my computer for some reason

[prime solstice]

I have 12 machines if you can count a steam deck and a Xbox 360

[carmine stirrup]

I'm literally using it to heat my office

[carmine stirrup]

we're talking how many machines running folding@home 🙂

but 12 is a lot in general!

[prime solstice]

Oh

Anyways off I go since fedex finally shipped my steam deck today

[carmine stirrup]

yay!

[crystal willow]

Why are you doing that?

[twilit pewter]

youre
intel
ford

[crystal willow]

how efficient is it to even to that

[white pawn]

hee hee, we have a home lab, 8 desktops, 2 laptops 6 servers 😛

suppose i should probably set some up to do FAH, currently they are just running calcs for cpu gating

[twilit pewter]

YOOO WHAT 💀

☠️

[red grail]

who still has og merch?

[carmine stirrup]

You mean to heat a room with computers?

[twilit pewter]

i wish

[white pawn]

my wife is a database engineer, i'm a cpu architect 😛

[crystal willow]

Thats smart

[twilit pewter]

me rn: 💀🔫

[prime solstice]

Those must be good jobs

[crystal willow]

ive always wanted to ask this. is there a specific software that you design the ships with?

[carmine stirrup]

My office uses electric heat, and my main two machines will consume 600-800 Watts each.

Most of the energy going into computers comes out as heat, so I figure why not just use them to do science and provide warmth 🙂

[twilit pewter]

my EB 8460p is enough to heat up a room 💀

[white pawn]

depends, Intel has an in house suite they use, AMD had a mix of custom and off the shelf software they were using when i worked for em

[twilit pewter]

i accidently took its fan out for too long and it heated the whole room up ☠️

[crystal willow]

And do you work in amd or intel lol

[white pawn]

i've worked for both. also Nvidia and IBM

[crystal willow]

Thats cool, what did you study in uni?

like major

[white pawn]

LOL i didn't. I have exactly one semester of college under my belt

when i got into the industry, there weren't college classes for this type of stuff yet

[crystal willow]

So your one of those college dropout genius type huh

[white pawn]

the closest thing would have been electical engineering i believe

[white pawn]

eh, genius is a bit of a stretch, im really good at the stuff i'm good at, and kinda suck at everything else 🙂

[crystal willow]

[white pawn]

[twilit pewter]

wan

[graceful burrow]

A rule do be a rule

[white pawn]

it's like my brain is aligned perfectly for designing hardware, i can see it in my head, like blueprints in 3d movie format

and then everything else is just outta "focus"? maybe? not exactly right, but close

[crystal willow]

Thats fascinating

[white pawn]

everyone says that, i always think it's boring cause it's just the way i am

like, everyone else's story is fascinating, but your own is always just "meh"

good talkin to ya tho, im off for a bit to build some wife faction 🙂

[chrome vector]

Maybe. And regardless, we are reaching all the way down to 3nm now. Eventually I do think we may actually end up getting a 10ghz CPU as things slow down and they have to optimize even more things rather than just transistor count/size.

Best I can do is 100mb, take it or leave it.

IDK how long I will have it before I upgrade, we will see. I just wanted a great EVGA card since it was last call. I hold out hope that maybe one day they'll start making cards for AMD & Intel, regardless of the likelyhood. Maybe someday.

you'll do this anyway. but cast it in resin or put it in a display case when you upgrade.

"come to windows 11, its great" -said nobody with a brain ever

[hazy parrot]

Lol cause the installer says so?

[opal thunder]

damn probs worse than my old pentium igpu comp

[hazy parrot]

Maybe 3 years ago.

It’s aight now. Win 10 still has the same amount of ads, spying, and bloat 11 does

[dreamy rose]

i'm on 2nd gen i5 and it runs just fine with windows 11. not that i actually put it on there but it works on there.

[hazy parrot]

No such thing.

[opal thunder]

there is a specific way to download the os in the installer that gets rid of the bloat

[dreamy rose]

theres no such thing as OEM specific sockets. just chipsets.

[hazy parrot]

Talking about international English locale?

[dreamy rose]

and even then Chipsets are not specific to OEMs

[opal thunder]

int eng world or smth

[hazy parrot]

Yeah I hope we can make everyone aware of that, still has tons of telemetry service to deal with though

[dreamy rose]

th specific way to get rid of the bloat is the CTT debloat tool or the Tiny11Builder.

[hazy parrot]

I like the CTT tool. You can see the PS1 scripts right there.

[dreamy rose]

or download literally any linux distro. theres no genuine forced on bloat there.

[hazy parrot]

Linux still can’t play league well

[opal thunder]

Ok I will download Red Star OS

[dreamy rose]

unless you get Ubuntu and its official derivatives. they force Shitty snap on you

you don't.

[hazy parrot]

I don’t think so, but judging from the way you said this, stick to 10

It’s fine. Not worth the effort.

It just looks pretty

[dreamy rose]

you can run Win 11 on anything. but its just "not Reccomended" and it frankly isn't recommened to be running windows 11 anyway.

[hazy parrot]

I like it more than 10. Rounded corners

[dreamy rose]

well that's a cope. if you really wanna waste your life on that then linux would actually make you touch grass.

[hazy parrot]

Are you on crack?

[dreamy rose]

league players should switch to linux, then the grass would be touched

[dreamy rose]

are you?

[hazy parrot]

Nah, grass

Straight gas

[carmine stirrup]

I prefer 11, tbh

[dreamy rose]

its still wrong. but its better than holding onto 7 for dear life when its been 6ft under since 2019

[carmine stirrup]

I can't believe I spent the past 25 years clicking a start menu in the lower left when it could be in the middle

[carmine stirrup]

11 is wrong?

[opal thunder]

The only reason I don't still have my linux install is because some of the indie games I play or even big titles do not work properly or at all.
Even if they do it takes weeks or months before I can without issues if they ever get that far depending on popularity.

[dreamy rose]

wrong answer. the correct one is either 8.1 or 10

Windows past 11 will just end up getting worse

[carmine stirrup]

This is just utter nonsense

[harsh quartz]

11 fixes what was wrong with 10 and is fine

[median idol]

tbh even ME was better than 11.
Okay, azizi... That's really pushing it

[dreamy rose]

ME Marked the end of the DOS kernel. 11 does not mark the end of the NT kernel. thusfar it is worse.

[median idol]

[harsh quartz]

What does ending a kernel have to do with it?

[carmine stirrup]

Is logic going to enter your reasoning at any point here?

[dreamy rose]

DOS went out with a bang NT is still alive. NT is bound to just get worse after 11 period.

i never go inthose channels. they are scary

[dreamy rose]

the 00s don't like other 00s they think they are stinky.

[vapid smelt]

we charge $150 per hour

[sudden bough]

thats sounds cheap actually..

[iron hatch]

[harsh quartz]

Your getting paid?

[hazy parrot]

I’ll straight up ssh people flawless systems with that cash

[dreamy rose]

sudo rm -rf that MF

[hazy parrot]

$150 I’ll make windows take basic bash commands

[dreamy rose]

150 dollars i'll open explorer.exe

US, not that other shit

[vapid smelt]

yeah who the fuck uses AUD

[dreamy rose]

we should use this as a new CPU power draw test fr

[lilac bear]

I don't get people that think Windows 10 is better than Windows 11

"oh but the task bar moved to the middle"

how about this

Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar Behaviors > Taskbar Alignment

and set it to "left"

[dreamy rose]

shouldn't be standard

when its been done the correct way for over 25 years. theres no need to have it change it.

the development of linux never changed, it never will.

[upbeat ermine]

but the thing is

you have to do so much customization on linux

its really not that hard to go from center to the bottom left

[dreamy rose]

you don't have to.

[upbeat ermine]

oh

shows what i know

[dreamy rose]

when KDE or XFCE is installed. its done correctly out of the box.

LXDE too

[upbeat ermine]

i tend to do a lot of customization when i install

[dreamy rose]

the ones that don't ship with the stupid dock or don't have any kind of palce to put easy access to apps at all.

aka TWMs.

[upbeat ermine]

biggest downside to linux is the huge lack of support for popular games & productivity software

[lilac bear]

sounds like you want an mac

[dreamy rose]

you mean the lack of Anticheat support.

[upbeat ermine]

?

[dreamy rose]

mac is literally this

[dreamy rose]

majority of games literally run on linux the only thing stopping people from switching is the lack of anticheat support on Linux

[upbeat ermine]

intresting. thats why games arent ported to linux?

[dreamy rose]

which, Battleye and EAC are on linux. but its not mandatory for the game devs to support linux

[upbeat ermine]

waiting for dev toolkit on linux like on mac XD

[dreamy rose]

doesn't have to be native,

[lilac bear]

so whats the issue if you have to change a setting or two?

[hazy parrot]

The only thing correct was letting you use search by typing windows key.

Combining and streamlining.

You know how you can open taskbar items by win+ 1-0

What if you could group 10 taskbar buttons in one group

Would make taskbars so clean and exponentially improve shortcut launching everything

Win arrow key snapping is great.

I realized I diddnt reply to who I intended

[lilac bear]

like does Microsoft as a whole have to cater to your needs specifically?

[river ibex]

Yes

Me me me

[hazy parrot]

Nah they just have a framework already there that’s just shy of perfection

How could you interpret it like that?

[hard oriole]

i finally ordered finger covers a while back and im just now getting my first good use
cut my knuckle and so i put some cotton in and rolled the finger cot on

[lilac bear]

you think Windows is perfect if they just move the taskbar back to the left?

[hazy parrot]

praising windows 11 workflow
cater to me

[hazy parrot]

I’m saying it’s irrelevant where it is. You can use the entire taskbar without moving a cursor

[sudden shale]

Y'know there are times where I feel like I'm doing well as a class president, but there are also times where I feel like I'm doing the worst at doing my tasks, that's normal. But what I don't get is how I sometimes feel accepted by the same community that also sometimes make me feel unaccepted tbh. And it's weird, I be silent and I feel unaccepted, I be more outgoing and sometimes I feel unaccepted too, maybe I should try being in between.

[hard oriole]

knuckle bandages suck so hard
vinyl finger glove with a part of a cotton ball all the way

[hazy parrot]

You act like a community all likes eachother

[sudden shale]

I meant a small group. Which supposedly likes each other right? I sometimes feel accepted and at times I don't. A class is a community in my eyes, so it's normal if there are people with opposing views. But a small group that I actively participate in can make me feel accepted and unaccepted at times, I wonder if I should find another group to settle in or adapt

[hazy parrot]

Overthinking stuff like this is how you unaccept yourself

People like being around others who feel good to be around. So just don’t worry about it

If you can’t? Fake it till you make it

Intel made some pretty lackluster xeons, especially by today's standards

[manic torrent]

lol intel has made a LOT of lackluster xeons

[urban thistle]

Do you think you could manage 1080p if I put a 1060 in it

[gilded quest]

As in, "a Xeon" means nothing in terms of value or usability. It's simply a brand name.

[vapid smelt]

like the 8 core xeon that came with the last mac pro

I think I will put a 27" monitor on the top of my 48" so I can use my desktop and work machine at the same time - it doesn't really work using the vertical screens for a different PC

once had a package litteraly circle hong kong via 5 stops then be shipped to the orginal post office before being loaded onto a ship that didnt leave port for 5 days then it took stops in 5 other countries before reaching the usa

depending on where you live stores do have delivery options

use the app, build up a list of what you want, place the order and eventually arrives (varies on stock available)

[fair estuary]

the quickest method for fast data transfer is to unscrew your harddrive and transfer the shiney disks to the other harddrive.

works 100% ||do at your own descretion, may cause data loss||

[full fossil]

What if, I just move the hard drive around

[full fossil]

100%?

[fair estuary]

if done fast enough, possibly ||you must also be in a clean room and let 0 dust particles touch the drive||

[full fossil]

Yeah yeah yeah, ik..

[fair estuary]

[fair estuary]

just change the drives underwater, no dust underwater

solution

[eager notch]

Linus water-cooled some helium drives once

[fair estuary]

see, works

no dust = no problems

[full fossil]

You also need to hard enough but not too hard as they have certain tightness for it to work

[fair estuary]

i wonder... if a computer in outerspace would run? i mean it would not need any cooling right? its like sub zero in space right?

when linus gonna go to space

(yes i know spaceships have computers)

but like a gaming machine

[sudden shale]

Imagine the floor is lava lamp fluid

[full fossil]

I think you still need to worry about heat radiating from the sun

ah yes true... oops lol
also the radiation ions gonna cause some funny bit flips in the computer probably

[full fossil]

Schrödinger's drive

[fair estuary]

👀 i feel like i could maybe code this, would be pretty simple i think. meta balls sim

[carmine stirrup]

Space around Earth is hot

If you were to step outside an airlock in anything other than white/reflective gear, you'd cook

It's basically like noon at the equator bright all the time

You have to go out past Jupiter for it to be cold, and even then it should take a couple of days for you to freeze because your body's heart has to go somewhere, and there's not a lot of stuff in space for your heart to transfer to, so it has to disapate as IR radiation

[fair estuary]

i mean the moons temprature goes from 127*c to -173*c so you just gonna constantly sprint around the moon as quick as you can so you stay in the livable heat area

[full fossil]

Or even better

We solve the issue entirely

[fair estuary]

shoot some nukes at the sun. what could go wrong

[opal thunder]

nothing

[fair estuary]

exactly

[opal thunder]

because the sun is much more violent than a nuke

[full fossil]

Tbh when it comes to that, there’s no way for us to access those data, even if it does it’s gonna be slow

[carmine stirrup]

That too

34 to 50 minute round trip for request and data return from Jupiter

[full fossil]

Just for a Rick roll link

Even if the sun disappeared, it’s gonna took almost 8min for us to know lol

But then we'd KNOW

[edgy chasm]

can i ask tech questions here or do i need to post a discussion on the techsupport channel?

[opal thunder]

[fierce moth]

Earth goes bye bye if the sun goes

As soon as we lose that heat the entire planet become sub zero

[crystal mirage]

Well electricity exists

so the bye bye wouldn't be instant

it could be days or months or years of suffering before bye bye

[opal thunder]

we would no longer need to worry about green house gases lol

[fierce moth]

iirc NA would be around -50c

if i did my calculations right in universe sandbox lmao

[crystal mirage]

well antarctica does exist

and there are people living there (of course not forever but with expeditions)

[fierce moth]

also the ocean will freeze over

[crystal mirage]

fast new highways

[fierce moth]

although that would take a while

[fierce moth]

trueeee

but eventually we'll lose our atmosphere

then its truly bye bye

[crystal mirage]

always look at the positives, new highways, cool snow and stuff and don't think that you'll die in the cold darkness

[crystal mirage]

well there is the ISS which doesn't need an atmosphere

[fierce moth]

i dont find losing the only natural light source as good

i wonder what gravity would be like

[crystal mirage]

we would just make a new sun as it is quite simple it is just a big nuke

and we humans know how to make big nukes

[fierce moth]

the power of the sun, in the palm of my hands

[slim creek]

no we would just fucking die

[crystal mirage]

well eventually yes

[fierce moth]

yeah, i love the sun being a core aspect of life

[fierce moth]

https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/RM22-308/ and this is the server case

[carmine stirrup]

pretty

I woulld see mounting that AIO in there as a fun challenge 😄

[fierce moth]

ngl the server wont need an AIO

its only 4th gen intel

[carmine stirrup]

yeah... but still

[vapid zephyr]

passive cool it

[carmine stirrup]

AIO all the things

well... except that I have a passively cooled dual xeon

[fierce moth]

a lot of passive coolers are designed for server sockets or are bloody massive

[carmine stirrup]

sorta... the first CPU is passively cooled, the second has a fan

[vapid zephyr]

Makes sense it'd be massive

[vapid zephyr]

But it'd be quiet

[fierce moth]

kinda not helpful for a 2u server lmao

[vapid zephyr]

Okaaaay

[carmine stirrup]

dell shipped it with this cooler, but once i upgraded the cpus, it didn't cut it

ironically, a $20 cooler off amazon did

[fierce moth]

u should rackmount it

rackmount is cool

[carmine stirrup]

I don't have a rack, lol

[fierce moth]

u could probs get a open frame for pretty cheap

[carmine stirrup]

I've done my share of rackmounting in the past. I'm going for computers as art these days

tf is this question

[vapid zephyr]

The answer is 0.10m3 btw

[unkempt widget]

yeah i realized you could just use mass and divide by density of water

[vapid zephyr]

You obviously can, but the approach is to just go by averages

[unkempt widget]

wait wdym

[vapid zephyr]

Estimated average height of 1.7m, now 1.75m fuck it, average width of 0.5m and thickness of 0.1m, you should roughly end up with 0.1m3

[unkempt widget]

oh my mental math was just wrong

[vapid zephyr]

It sounds stupid and simple, but that's how Cambridge university solved the problem lmao

Our math teacher back then used this as a reality check not to overthink things

[unkempt widget]

this is 2021 summer paper

[vapid zephyr]

I know, shit like this has been done way before this lol

It's just never been used in actual math

Hence why I said 'reality check'

The result was irrelevant in this

[unkempt widget]

i always thought a levels would never do these type of questions tbh

[vapid zephyr]

And this seems to be what the paper tries to say here as well

Rushing and/or overthinking things ain't no good

apparently a lot of people got that question wrong

very interesting

It's a physics paper, yeah

These patterns look cool

[vapid zephyr]

Oh yeah, that was because said teacher I was talking about called me about it at some point, saying proudly how he's taught us the same way as in the paper lmao

[stable cave]

(sorry form calling them that idk what it is)

[unkempt widget]

wait but were you doing the paper 2 years ago

not even gonna bother

[vapid zephyr]

No, that was way earlier

oh so it showed up again

but why would you know the exact paper i was doing

[vapid zephyr]

Okay
Our teacher taught us the same way as the problem I explained to you
Then the paper got released and he called me about it years later

[white pawn]

my wife had a class that apparently is "famous" on the campus for using the same book every year, so there are copies of the text that have been handed down for some ungodly amount of years, and I just feel sorry for the first class after the current professor retires 😛

[stable cave]

I have to release a paper by the end of this semester

[unkempt widget]

ohhh i get it

[vapid zephyr]

Lmao

[summer nova]

Told you

[white pawn]

she had a book that had names signed in the front from the early 80s 😛 she graduated that particular masters program in 2016?(I think was her second master, may have been 3rd, which woulda been 2019)

either way, shes smarter than me 😛

[unkempt widget]

wait did you also do cambridge a levels

[vapid zephyr]

Hm? Yeah

Was mandatory in our school

[unkempt widget]

damn interesting

what subjects did you take

[vapid zephyr]

We only technically had a choice there

English literature got the most points lmao

[unkempt widget]

oh that's painful

[sudden shale]

Oughh... Feels fucking good to be freeing up the C drive space. Feels like I've just released a burden off my shoulders

[unkempt widget]

i dropped english the moment i got the chance to

[sudden shale]

Y'know my C drive was dying

[unkempt widget]

now i only take triple science + math

[sudden shale]

It had like 2 GB free space left

[vapid zephyr]

The other 'choices' were Chemistry, Computer Science and Psychology, the rest were AS level

[sudden shale]

Now there's 20 GB free space which is a big improvement

[unkempt widget]

wtf so you can't take mathematics to a level

or physics or bio for that matter

[sudden shale]

And my D drive has 60 GB (don't blame me, my old hdd got fucked)

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, all of our classes were equivalent to at least AS level anyway so it didn't particularly matter

[stable cave]

Dam it's taking allat of time to render a 720 p video for my laptop

[unkempt widget]

wait so you took classes that weren't necessary cambridge a level, but you took the a level exams

[vapid zephyr]

Technically yes

[unkempt widget]

your school's so confusing

[vapid zephyr]

It was called cambridge a level, fairly certain was cambridge a level

But it wasn't really

[unkempt widget]

but you sat the cambridge exams and got your results from a website from cambridge

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, I probably just suck at describing things

[stable cave]

I had a pencil ✏️ which said made in Cambridge

[vapid zephyr]

No, we effectively took a fake, but we had exams provided by cambridge

I'd say that's the best term to describe it

[unkempt widget]

so you took a regular past paper

for your final exam

and didn't get cambridge a level results

but rather internal grades

[vapid zephyr]

Yes

[unkempt widget]

sounds like a scam

[vapid zephyr]

Not really

[unkempt widget]

so you guys got your results on a 1-100 scale and not an A* - E scale

[vapid zephyr]

Most of the people in our school aren't going out of the country anyway, they don't need an actual cambridge a level cert

[unkempt widget]

ah makes sense

[vapid zephyr]

Yes, 1-100 system is standard in general

[unkempt widget]

oh that's brutal

if i were in your school i would be dead by now

i remember you saying average in your class is like 95 or smth

[vapid zephyr]

1-100 was standard and if you fell out of the median and didn't fix it, you were out

[unkempt widget]

my best subject is physics and i have 87%

[vapid zephyr]

Ye, the lowest we ever got was 90 and the teacher was pissed when that happened

[unkempt widget]

oh god

but like actual cambridge thresholds are so much lower than that

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah. This isn't confirmed, but people have been saying that they kinda have an internal competition who has the best class median

[unkempt widget]

ig outliers don't affect that median that much

[vapid zephyr]

Idk, that's what it was for us lmao

[unkempt widget]

taking biology for example:

208/260 for A*

[vapid zephyr]

You couldn't even get in the school if you didn't score above 80 kek

[unkempt widget]

80% on the dot

[vapid zephyr]

Though tbf, entrance exams suck

[stable cave]

I scored 70

[unkempt widget]

chem is even lower

[vapid zephyr]

Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to be shot

[stable cave]

I scored 60 % in my 12 th grade sad times

Too many distractions

[unkempt widget]

i mean

depends on curriculum and stuff

[stable cave]

I had bio and it

[unkempt widget]

wait for a levels

[stable cave]

Together

Aight I'm gonna take a break from texting (decided to do this often now to reduce my screen times on discord) cya later

[vapid zephyr]

The only time I ever heard the headmaster talk about the reason as to why they're doing it like this is because they wanted cambridge-level education without actually relying on cambridge

[unkempt widget]

huh interesting

i mean i bet if yall took the cambridge test, all of you would've gotten A*s

[vapid zephyr]

She was the kinda person that didn't like external factors, so I guess that's fair?

[vapid zephyr]

No idea, I feel stupid being in the actual world now lmao

Mainly because I realized at some point that I don't need like, 70% of the shit I learned lmfao

[unkempt widget]

yeah i think maybe more

[vapid zephyr]

The only reason I guess 30% is because things I learned keep helping me when I research about dumb fun facts and shit

[unkempt widget]

ahh

[vapid zephyr]

What is btw ironic

They bothered to go through all of this

But they didn't bother properly teaching what the difference between Wattage, Amperage and Voltage is

They just kinda went over it, didn't bother, moved on lmao

[unkempt widget]

how did you guys still do so well though

[vapid zephyr]

I ended up looking it up myself

[unkempt widget]

oh

dw our math teacher literally does not teach at all

like she does nothing other than talk to us about life

we've been learning everything by ourselves

[vapid zephyr]

When I went to an exchange program in a German private school, the biology teacher was the same

When we were talking, she did absolutely nothing to stop us

So we just had a conversation and she didn't do ratshit, just sat there and wrote in the classbook who talked and who didn't

[unkempt widget]

lol that's insane

[vapid zephyr]

She was the biology teacher so it was a free for all

And she got fired not too long afterwards as well since people started complaining she didn't actually teach anything lmao

[unkempt widget]

our biology teacher is the best teacher i've had

but then again our definitions of good teachers might be very different

[vapid zephyr]

When I went to private school in the US? Our physics teacher straight up pulled a dummy gun on us

[unkempt widget]

ah i also do that, think about a different word while typing

sounds very american tbh

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah, it's been happening since like last year or so

[unkempt widget]

it happens when i'm tired

[vapid zephyr]

Has never happened before that, now it just sometimes happens

[unkempt widget]

one time my classmate in a test finished before me and asked if he could go to the toilet

and i was mid sentence while he was talking and i wrote "animals can live on the toilet"

[prime solstice]

I got my steam deck yesterday and I’m loving it

[vapid zephyr]

Lmao

[vapid zephyr]

Our history teacher in the US private school once told me that she hated history exams

Once she literally just took a sharpie and wrote 'WORLD WAR THREE' across the entire page and turned it in

[unkempt widget]

why she teaching history

[vapid zephyr]

She apparently likes researching and teaching it, not write about it

[unkempt widget]

oh makes sense

[vapid zephyr]

What was a major surprise moving to different private school was actually the age difference in teachers

The oldest teachers in Japan were around 35

In Germany, I have never seen a teacher younger than 40

My homeroom teacher was 65 lmao

[unkempt widget]

most of our teachers are 30-40 here

[vapid zephyr]

Oh no, I do actually know somebody who is younger than 40, he's 37

[night heron]

i only had a few teachers throughout all my years that werent at least middle aged

[vapid zephyr]

Most of ours were around 25-27

[unkempt widget]

tbh i don't know most of the teacher's ages

i just guessed based on their appearances

[white pawn]

Miss Christie. she was in her 20s, and friggin gorgeous, and i was like, 14 and way too stupid 😛

nearly failed that class cause i was a hormonal dink

[vapid zephyr]

We all did introductions, that's why we kinda know

[night heron]

[unkempt widget]

my school's very different to yours

[vapid zephyr]

Lmao

[unkempt widget]

it's only former for the principal and head of secondsry

secondary

most of the other teachers are very relaxed

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, we all always did introductions with teachers that were in our actual schedule

The class wasn't big, so we kinda had time for that

[unkempt widget]

one time during history class, one of us weren't here (there were only three of us), and the teacher printed off a sheet of russian jokes and we told each other the jokes and we counted who laughed the most

(we were doing russia depth study)

[vapid zephyr]

Afaik the class, according to protocol, wasn't allowed to have more than 14 people in it and we were on average about 12

At least I heard a teacher mention that lmao

[unkempt widget]

our entire class has 15 people

the biggest class i have is math, which has 9 people

[vapid zephyr]

The way our school did heating was also massively weird lmao

[knotty timber]

Hello

[unkempt widget]

heating?

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah

[unkempt widget]

elaborate

[vapid zephyr]

There was no heaters whatsoever, heating was done via bodyheat

[unkempt widget]

body heat???

so yall huddled together or smth

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah, that's how they told us it was done

Nope, the classes were all just super insulated ig

[unkempt widget]

ohh
