Average? Probably very little. I was in a decent school, and all I remember was a brief overview of the hyperinflation and reparations that led to rearrangements of german life. Like others, we read about the overall picture during the war, with a focus on holocaust victims.

I didn't learn about the weimar republic until after college, and that was only found out about through casual browsing and mentions from others. The specific chain of events giving hitler his power were barely mentioned in formal education. I remember reading a short summary (maybe a diary entry?) of a first-hand account of the night of broken glass.

I don't know if you'd consider visual novels a game, but even if the 'character' you're playing is a male, the feminine aspects come out really well in Doki Doki Literature Club.

No disagreement on the overworked and underpaid bits, but I look at it like this: a parent with a full time job is extremely overburdened. Get the kid up in the morning, get the kid dressed, get the kid fed, deal with the inevitable breakdown from not getting the right cereal or the other kid taking the favorite seat, getting the kid's backpack and homework sorted, and finally get the kid to the bus stop or take said kid directly to school because there was a fight and now the kid isn't allowed on the bus... and they still have to drive to work by 0800 hours. Just because they're late to work and in a rush doesn't excuse the speeding. Teaching is a shitty, hard profession. You don't get appreciated despite almost literally doing nothing but try to improve the next generation. I still think that turning over the task of teaching (which the courses I had to take did; it was entirely book+online portal driven, very little teacher) to the textbook company is a bad track to take.

It's also about making it the equivalent of pushing a button for the professor. Want a test that covers chapters X-y? Push three buttons and the students have a test over those chapters. No effort means they can jerk off in the direction of the grant that was just rejected because they used a bad word according to the government.

Depends on the safe, but the people executing a search warrant, if it's a proper search warrant, will either take the safe with them or stay there until it is opened. The locksmith is also (likely) going to be covered because he was acting at the direction of the police. That means he's going to drill it, and probably won't be looking at the search warrant as confirmation. A proper search warrant means you're fucked unless the cops do something stupid, like looking in your cupboard when the search is for a cow.

It's bogus how heinous the government can be over small crimes.

I thought the R was because it was from rats, and malk because they didn't want it to be tested like milk is (it's just a drink not milk, aye?) but maybe I'm not remembering the episode correctly.

That and dragon age as an elf were wonderful, because you play through as the 'superior' race (dark elf / human for morrowind/dragon age) first and don't even realize how fucked up it can be. Each time I just happened to play that order and it was amazing.

I mean, I thought it was a glorious confusion.

Hundreds of billions! Of micropennies! Aaaaaaaaah!

I have this fear that we won't even be able to trust fruits and vegetables. The most common food contaminations in the news always seem to be unwashed lettuce and such, which makes sense because of fertilizers.

Listen, the brisket doesn't need the sauce, because unless you're a weenie you get the moist... but ribs should be fucking dipped in that divine nectar.

The line about the library card is what drives me up the wall. It's ridiculous how tough it is to get in some places. You want a freaking utility bill?!? I'm renting a room, for fuck's sake. That isn't just a texas problem though, because I know florida was just as stupidly difficult.

I think it's overblown for the most part. Yes, the OS should just work... but it does, for 99% of users, on windows, and linux, and probably macos, which I haven't used so can't speak on.

The ones who blow up their systems are either techies who like futzing with stuff, or are using a 'bad' distro for their needs. If you're switching over granny, you set her up with a long term stable kernel, a vanilla distro, and a browser. The few other stories are when people switch from windows and want something specialized to be the same. Those will need a customized solution, but it's not much different than windows when something breaks. Whoever is playing IT gets to poke at a stupid amount of settings, registry edits, or esoteric drivers/dependencies.

How common is the story of “I was new to linux and completely broke it”?

Gee, it's common even for 'experienced' folks. I just went to update to the 6.14 kernel this morning (everything that I use [and monitor for conflicts] was supposedly finally working with it), and apparently that didn't play well with my desktop manager. Cue the tty at boot and trying different DMs until I finally said screw it and went back to the previous kernel.

I mean, have you seen duck penises?

John fried chicken. It's a southern term that you yankees wouldn't get, don't ya know. It refers to John, of the johnathan name, who first fried chicken. He did it a long time ago, don't ya know.

I did this when I forgot a pair of shoes once. I felt so bad, but also so sly. The poor clerks probably have to deal with foot smell often, but it still just felt icky.

Your imagination isn't accounting for all the insanity that people loading themselves do. Loading might be faster for the carried folks.

Some airlines do allow two bags.

It's because of safety standards. 50 pounds isn't a set limit, but you can see how any decent lawyer can take that NIOSH model used and get a crapton of money from a company if an employee does get hurt lifting more, so conservative companies that don't want to have to pay out will set that limit themselves.

Good. Get rid of pests.
