That’s about par for the course.

So far, the current UK government seems to realise they’ve lost their voters; thus they’re trying to appeal to the opposition’s voters.

The trouble is, no-one really wants censorship laws save for small (but vocal) pockets religious nuts masquerading as feminists.

We’ve normalised “if you are against x, you are a vile monster” kind of thinking; and thus we are now facing sweeping censorship.

A lot of the issue with logic problems is the “common sense” element required. With purely geometric problems, there are less of these to worry about.

Chess problems also work well to teach logical step application.

I can’t comment about anywhere else, but the UK job market broke down pre-COVID.

Post-COVID it has gotten even worse as even more skills are automated. About the only job sectors actively recruiting are the NHS (primarily nurses), STEM teachers (primary/secondary), retail, and hospitality.

They’re all high stress with a comparatively low wage - the latter 2 tend not to pay living wages and also tend to be “shift work” (i.e. 0 hour contracts).

For those of us holding other jobs, this market has led to wage squeezes and a sharp decline in working conditions. Most folks have taken an effective pay cut, and workload models are squeezing more tasks into each role.

Overall, it’s a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

Life doesn’t need a reason; it is progenitor of reasons.

I’m the guy in the background saying “go back to teaching Euclid and proof in schools”, as the real point was to teach logical deduction from established facts.

Pay or ok? No thankee!

Yeah, the teacher is going to get a fun talk with management and probably be forced to write an apology.

Teaching is a risky job these days, and thus not done as well as it could be in a world without parental bozos.

We need a new sub for “data is horrifying”.

Dear gods… Is that user deluded?

Thanks for sharing this - his other videos are also solid.

Time to replan some lessons!

I’m ok with this - lubuntu has my back.

Is that dataset up anywhere as a CSV?

I’d really love to build a lesson around it!

Any good alternatives for those of us stuck in “pay or ok” land?

Darkest dungeon - though you need to make it to the ending to find out why you’re evil.

I mean, how exactly do you create a “sustainable” rocket? Genuinely curious, as the sheer amount of energy it takes to escape the earth’s gravity well would render this an almost impossible feat.

In 1969, the cold war filled the hearts of the world with dread. Today, we live in times that echo this sentiment.

The launch of 1969 was made with the hope of a better future, and though we cocked it up a drainpipe the first time, maybe we’ll take the right path and echo the sentiment “for all mankind”.

Honestly? I’m on the 3rd cycle with my AAAs (used for an MP3 and small electronics) and the 2nd for my AAs.

I’ve not noticed them lasting less, and I’ve already made back what disposables would cost.

Bonus: I charge them at work because why not.

Option C, watch the comments degenerate into warfare while eating popcorn.

“Hex me purple” is the one I use when teaching.

There is also “aww skyte” which is gibberish, but it feels right.

Not too sure why this comment got downvoted.

Grid balancing is no joke - you’ll likely have new nuclear up and running before you rebuild the grid of an entire nation (which is needed for renewables to take the lead).

Let’s not forget, lithium for batteries, a key element in a renewable grid (to help offload and balance) is also not widely produced in Europe. Water batteries could work, but those are not small projects.

Nuclear is your “short” term because renewables (grid rebuild) are still a long term project.
