    @Horace, it’s wave-particle duality; it has no mass when traveling as a wave.

    @Axtremus said in Don't grade homework because...equity!: please give them the benefit of the doubt and allow them more time to work out the issues. Isn't this what they have been doing for hundreds of years? Yes, but that not enough time, they need just a little more.

    If the hunter can't use his big brain to make killing tools, then the tiger can't use it's claws and muscle. The fittest will win, that's the rule.
  • Why *not* to use a SSD for Time Machine Backup

    @Axtremus said in Why *not* to use a SSD for Time Machine Backup: Yes, mostly affect write speed, not so much on read speed I would think that's not a major issue in backup, particularly if incremental, such as Time Machine. Hybrid drive with smaller SSD + bigger HDD … for a while that’s the standard for iMacs. Even Apple stopped doing that now. I guess people just don’t want to deal with the mechanical failures of HDD’s moving parts. My 2014 iMac has such a drive. It failed after about 3 years. I had it replaced. But, I'm currently booting from an external SSD and it works great. My Time Machine backup is to a 4TB RDHD.

    @George-K said in RIP CNN+: https://twitter.com/KristiNoem/status/1517238902163181571?s=20&t=uK96PelIdEphLjVuHolyNg People who preach about kindness to others inevitably bear claws and fangs as soon as they feel righteous to do so. It’s not that kind people don’t exist, it’s that kind people who condescendingly preach about kindness don’t exist. Most of those idiots can’t pass a first simple test of kindness, for instance viewing charitably the opinions of a political other.
