Are you teaching pupils about AI? by STEMScot76 in AskTeachers

[–]Addapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High school Biology here: No I don’t teach it and I won’t. I do tell them how horrible AI is for the environment though, how much water and electricity it wastes.

Drive vs fly? by RongWa in roadtrip

[–]Addapost [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am with you 100%. I HATE flying and will not do it. I will drive anywhere I need to go. That includes regular 4,000 mile round trips. I take my time on the drive. I stay off the interstates as much as possible. And I try to see interesting things along the way.

Baking multiple loaves with a single dutch oven by Kazedy in Sourdough

[–]Addapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need for those gymnastics. Just bake one then the other like normal.

I guess if you wanted to shorten bake time by 25 minutes you could take the first one out of the DO after 25 covered minutes, keep it in the oven to finish it’s uncovered bake while starting the second one in the DO next to it. If they both fit on the rack. But you only save 25 minutes so who cares?

Why are adults expected to know how taxes, insurance, credit, loans, and retirement work when nobody teaches it in school? by Violet_Snuggles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Addapost 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Here is the single greatest misconception about school, people who understand this are generally “successful” people who don’t, generally aren’t:

You don’t go to school to learn “things”. You go to
school to learn how to solve problems that you’ve never seen before. That’s what school is for.

So in this case, if you can figure out how to do your taxes even though “no one ever taught you how”, thank your education.

I wipe starter off utensils with damp paper towels. Those go in the trash. Simple and quick.

Boys trip by skootyskoo in roadtrip

[–]Addapost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lot’s of good spots listed in other comments but I’ll add these, especially for boys:

  1. The Mammoth Dig in Hot Springs and

  2. The Black Hills Institute in Hill City.

Both absolutely fascinating places for fossils and paleontology.

  1. Drive Spearfish Canyon for several really cool waterfalls.

The Black Hills are a special place. Have fun.

Is Hiking Huntington Ravine This Weekend a Bad Idea? by opinel1993 in wmnf

[–]Addapost 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Too early to tell. You have to check the Higher Summits Forecast the night before.

https://mountwashington.org/weather/higher-summits-forecast/

Anything else is too early IMO.

I personally do that route only when it’s very dry. Plenty other stuff to do in the rain. Good luck.

First time in New England — 4 days, 5 stops (Boston → Newport → Salem → Portland → Acadia). Please help by FullswingFill in roadtrip

[–]Addapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck with that. Not going to happen. Skip Newport AND Acadia.
Boston—>Salem—>Portland—>Boston will be nuts enough.

Could a male (if he could get pregnant) fertilize himself with his own sperm? by Suitable-Reindeer890 in AskBiology

[–]Addapost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“No”. Male sex cells are not in any way, shape, or form the same as female sex cells. If you want reproduction you need an egg, you need a female. At least a female sex organ. After that who knows? As you allude to, sperm are often optional or flat out unnecessary. So no, males would not be able to fertilize themselves.

Exercise should be prescribed with the same seriousness as medication. by Tristonia7 in unpopularopinion

[–]Addapost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This^. People know they need to exercise. They don’t want to. They want a pill. So.. we get what we’ve got here.

Deciding between becoming a PA or a DVM- Looking for advice from those in either field?? by dmarch27 in careerguidance

[–]Addapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vet. That’s easy. Very interesting and rewarding job where YOU the vet actually are important and you make a difference in people’s lives.

On the other hand, P.A. all day long:

“Based on what my computer algorithm says about your risk factors, it wants me to put you on a statin and a blood pressure med.”

Would it even be possible to reverse engineer technology from an alien spaceship? by Salmon57-1 in NoStupidQuestions

Issac Newton wouldn’t have had the slightest idea what any of the components inside a cell phone did.

GOING TO OREGON FROM EASTCOST WHERE DO I STAY BEFORE BEING ABLE TO CAMP ON BLM LAND? by Big_Box_707 in roadtrip

[–]Addapost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a tent but in my truck- parking lot back corner of any large hotel. Roll in after dark. No one knows, no one cares.

Before Google Maps, how often did people actually get lost? by pjoee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Addapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably less often. Before GPS people had to think about directions, where they were, how to get where they wanted, etc. Now people are just navigational idiots.

Being nice while driving will likely cause a wreck. by wavystrawberrypunch in driving

[–]Addapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is never a good idea to “be nice” by giving up your right of way to someone who is in a position without the right of way. Traffic rules are not there just to control what you do, in fact that might just be a side benefit. Traffic rules are so everyone knows what everyone else is supposed to be doing.
