And so the US sends a fuck tonne of planes and troops eastward just to make it a little easier to be “accidentally” dragged into WW3

• Check all the fluids in your car, and change em / top em up if it’s been a while.
• Pack an emergency car kit. I’m sure there are loads of recommendations online, but I usually have:
  • Flashlight
  • Battery bank + charging cable for phone
  • Spare tire and wrenches (if you’ve got a charged phone, you could instead call for a tow if needed)
  • Blanket (it can get surprisingly cold at night, even in the summer)
  • Spare oil / coolant (water works as well for coolant in a pinch)
• For misc stuff I like to bring on trips:
  • A pack of water. If there’s long stretches with no towns, water is always nice
  • Sunglasses
  • If you’re going to play stuff off your phone, I’d recommend downloading music and a variety of podcasts to go. Don’t just download 10 episodes from the same channel; mix it up. And mix up the genre too. I usually will have a mix of world news, tech news, stories, and self improvement stuff
  • Snacks & other drinks

Yes! Thats it!

You ok? Sounds like you’re having a bit of a stroke there…

Tabs over spaces, always

… wait, you’re asking in asklemmy, not programming…

Uhhh… that thing where people glue little strands of hair to their forehead in an arc

Added it to my todo list!

Could be that lemm.ee announced they’re shutting down at the end of the month

Being honest - it doesn’t sound like you love him, but rather want to stay in his nice house.

Regardless of if you love him or not, that trust that’s needed for a stable, long-term relationship has been obliterated. Every single thing you do will be questioned, outloud or at least subconsciously. That is not going to be good for a healthy relationship.

I’d suggest that if you want to be in a happy and healthy relationship, it’s probably a good idea to move on from this one. Take time to reflect and ask yourself why you cheated on this guy - obviously you were unhappy enough to seek someone else, but what made you unhappy in the first place? It could be something about them, but it could be something about yourself too - in which case, you might want to talk to a therapist

If you did want to get back with your ex, I’d suggest giving him space and letting him decide if he wants to come back to the table, and when he wants to. If you seriously like him, don’t see anyone else until he decides what he wants to do; but put a time limit on it for your own sanity. Then, after the time is up, give up on the relationship and move on. Tell a friend of yours about your plan so they can help keep you accountable in case you may not be in the right frame of mind

Jokes on them. I like to eat buns raw

I am literally dumbfounded. What in the world is going on in the US? It’s traumatizing enough to miscarry; then the justice system wants to put you in prison?

I’ve been reading a lot on pregnancy recently and from what I understand, the feasibility of pregnancy ultimately comes down to genetics and statistics (assuming you’re doing what you can to maintain a healthy pregnancy). You could be in the 3rd trimester and your baby could strangle itself on the umbilical cord. What the fuck are you supposed to do then?

We’ve got an administration that is…

• Pro life, but go to prison if you try and fail.
• Pro health, but anti vax
• Pro justice, but anti due process
• Pro Innovation, but anti employment?

The list goes on, and on. I thought we were in the stupid timeline, but holy shit - this is well beyond that now

A shower curtain of a very important, and well known document from your country such as the Charter of Rights and Freedoms from Canada, or Declaration of Independence from the US. If you live in a country that still recognizes the British monarch, you could also put up a photo of the king (very common in government and military buildings)

This is what I’ve been trying to accomplish. While I’ve been able to get it to work; I generally have relatively poor performance for gaming.

By chance do you game and have had enough success with the GPU pass through to play? What’s your setup like?

Pro tip: you can use the plastic tabs from bread bags as little wire tags

Sorry for the late reply, I had to sit and think on this one for a little bit.

I think there are would be a few things going on when it comes to designing a course to teach critical thinking, nuances, and originality; and they each have their own requirements.

For critical thinking: The main goal is to provide students with a toolbelt for solving various problems. Then instilling the habit of always asking “does this match the expected outcome? What was I expecting?”. So usually courses will be setup so students learn about a tool, practice using the tool, then have a culminating assignment on using all the tools. Ideally, the problems students face at the end require multiple tools to solve.

Nuance mainly naturally comes with exposure to the material from a professional - The way a mechanical engineer may describe building a desk will probably differ greatly compared to a fantasy author. You can also explain definitions and industry standards; but thats really dry. So I try to teach nuances via definitions by mixing in the weird nuances as much as possible with jokes.

Then for originality; I’ve realized I dont actually look for an original idea; but something creative. In a classroom setting, you’re usually learning new things about a subject so a student’s knowledge of that space is usually very limited. Thus, an idea that they’ve never heard about may be original to them, but common for an industry expert.

For teaching originality creativity, I usually provide time to be creative & think, and provide open ended questions as prompts to explore ideas. My courses that require originality usually have it as a part of the culminating assignment at the end where they can apply their knowledge. I’ll also add in time where students can come to me with preliminary ideas and I can provide feedback on whether or not it passes the creative threshold. Not all ideas are original, but I sometimes give a bit of slack if its creative enough.

The amount of course overhauling to get around AI really depends on the material being taught. For example, in programming - you teach critical thinking by always testing your code, even with parameters that don’t make sense. For example: Try to add 123 + "skibbidy", and see what the program does.

College professor here. The way I see it, AI is inevitable and it’s here to stay. Fighting against AI would be like trying to fight against pocket calculators in the 70s. It’s coming whether we like it or not, in class and in the real world; so we need to focus on adjusting the curriculums to work with it, rather than against it.

Right now, a lot of course curriculums are predominantly regurgitation based learning: I’ll tell you X, you tell me X but in 3 months. But AI trivializes that way of thinking. If I want to, I can get ChatGPT to generate an entire essay on the impact of ink drying speeds to the colour of grass. Whatever I want, it takes it 10s to write. However, LLMs still struggle with critical thinking, nuances, and originality; which I think is the more important aspect of education.
