"Stuff school should have taught me" material is actually stuff your parents should have taught you.
  • I sort of agree in that parents should teach in addition to schools. However, this feels like entitlement showing because it makes a bunch of assumptions about parents (that others have already commented on), but just even having parents. There are a lot of people who only have one parent, or no parents for various reasons. What about kids who lost one of their parents to cancer and their remaining parent doesn't have the capacity to teach the subjects you mentioned? Schools provide an opportunity for common education for everyone.

    Cool guide to boiling a larger sized egg
  • I can't speak to specific numbers but it absolutely does. The higher the altitude, the lower the boiling point. The lower boiling point the lower the temperature you're cooking with and you have to cook it for longer

  • I've been trying to boot a Ubuntu 24.04 USB (please no discussion of distro choice) but I keep getting a very unhelpful error during the initial startup. I've tried using a different USB drive, a different USB port, booting from UEFI. The only thing that has made a change was booting into safe graphics mode. It got to the install wizard but when I got to the end of the wizard it gave me other seemingly useless error messages.

    I'm concerned there's an issue with my motherboard but I don't have strong evidence to support this idea. I recently took a trip where the computer was fine before I left. I turned it off while I was away and when I came back my main drive no longer worked. I couldn't boot from it or even see the drive in gparted. I've replaced the drive without issue though. If my motherboard is somehow going bad, it's being very subtle about it. I was ready to blame Nvidia but when I got it into safe graphics mode, it didn't get to the point of having Nvidia drivers.

    Does anyone have any idea what might be going on or any way I can get additional information about the errors I'm getting? The lack of information is really frustrating.
