  Yeah, “weeds” are contextual to what and where the plant is. Of course it’s a made up concept, it’s not a classification of a type of plant, just a description of a plant you don’t want in a certain spot.

  They aren’t suggesting using a grease pencil as a better alternative to a graphite pencil, they are saying that the Russian cosmonauts used grease pencils before moving to a pressurized pen.

  You don’t need to say “no thanks” to it, no one is suggesting using it. The first comment was ambiguous, but your response to this one is just baffling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe that works for internal and business communications, but if it is communication externally with clients there are a lot of people that just don’t answer their phone. Sometimes it is important stuff, and sometimes there are followup questions.

  “XYZ is no longer available. Would you like ABC instead?
  How many of ABC would you like?”

  I knew it, I’m surrounded by Assholes

  I know it’s green text, but assuming they called the suicide hotline before as well they must have done their job too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teachers warn AI is impacting students' critical thinking⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Something rubs the the wrong way about how the teacher presented that problem. Was the lesson supposed to be “don’t believe anything unless you can verify it yourself”? In his example, he was the unreliable source. I’m assuming he was infering the paper can also be an unreliable source? I’m hoping he went into the importance of checking multiple, credible sources to get a larger picture, rather than just leaving it at “you always might be lied to”. A blanket “don’t trust so-called authorities for facts” is how we end up with people questioning vaccines and flat earthers turning from satire to something troubling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve switched over to mostly wireless charging, but have to say I’m not completely convinced of it yet. I switched phones in part because my old phone’s battery started having issues and the charging port became loose. I want to prevent that happening on my new phone for as long as I can, so I’m using wireless charging for the most part.

  Though wired charging is still so much faster and more efficient. If I really need a charge, or I’m in a hurry, I plug the phone in to charge. I just try to be in the habit of setting my phone on the charging pad when I get home from work.
