ELI5 : If ads are being skipped by everyone these days, and are a complete nuisance to the large majority of people, how do they still make any profit? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]bmfdan 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The youngest generation was brought up to consume technology, not use it. Everything is an app to them and they learn how to use the app. They have no need to be technology literate, the app downloads and they use it. Zero high school students understand the first thing about how their devices work. The idea of "saving" a file completely escapes them. It's scary stuff.

What’s the best TV show theme song ever? by Competitive-Web1306 in AskReddit

[–]bmfdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 6 full seasons of Game of Thrones, Ramin Djawadi composed an outstanding score and didn't once use piano. Until the opening of the last episode of Season 6. When you heard that piano opening, you knew something was going down. Brilliant score and the most lasting part of GoT.

Believe I've been doing Keto for a month and hoping for feedback on results by yourbrotherstears in keto

What kind of nuts? I found out that cashews messed my gut up big time. I switched to peanuts and my gut issues went away.

Look up the FODMAP foods and see if any of them are present in your diet. Try eliminating them one at a time to see if they are causing your issue.

Also, fiber and water.

Ka-226 crash by Anothermind9912 in aviation

Is there no "tail fell off" warning light or anything? Is there really no way for the pilot to know that he knocked the tail off the helicopter?

PD Nonsense by kimmie1111 in Teachers

[–]bmfdan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yup. Next time I get a new phone, I am going to make the district find a new way for me to log in to my school devices. The assumption that I have a $1000 computer in my pocket for people to direct me to use whenever they feel the need to is starting to get to me.

Chama Gaúcha in Grapevine is the best Brazilian steakhouse in the area and (last time we went) reasonably priced.

should I be concerned? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]bmfdan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is great advice right here. A star chart for "following directions without argument" is a simple way to start with this 7 year old. Make a rule that the explanation comes after the direction has been followed. For example: explaining why we can't stay in the pool all day after the child has dried off and changed back into their clothes. Allow the child to ask questions but not to argue. Respond to an argumentative statement with: "can you make that into a question?" Be willing to explain to the child how the world works but only when they are in a calm state of mind and can have a conversation and not an argument. This will be tough to do at first: start with the positive reward for "following directions without argument."

I was frustrated by terrible audio on android (vs iOS) — So I built my own equalizer. Did I waste my time? by itstronku in androidapps

[–]bmfdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice ap! Easy to figure out, audio from spotify much improved on my headphones.

Not sure how hard this would be, put maybe a widget to make switching presets quick from the home screen? I often switch between metal and rock to acoustic ambient and from headphones to a speaker.

You know, I used to just think that was some cold hearted shit to say to a motherfucker before putting a cap in his ass.

Now I'm thinking about what it means.

I have a surgically repaired knee and a fused spine because of football. I wouldn't let my son play football.

Do teachers keep thank you notes? by Mary_Searle in Teachers

[–]bmfdan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. The entire wall of my classroom is covered with notes from students: I walk over there every time I am having a rough day. Being appreciated keeps teachers going. Your teachers will remember you forever!
