Oh yeah! That downgrade option sounds cool. The only time I kinda regretted being on Manjaro. VirtualBox 7 still doesn’t have functional graphics. I tried downgrade, but that didn’t work. Maybe I should have tried deleting the VirtualBox config 🤔

I mostly drink water of flavor “tap with a hint of rust”. We have old pipes.

Well, at least you gave them a chance. Thank you.

Why is it a 0 second video instead of image?

Anyway, about the < 5:
During pregnancy, HIV can pass through the placenta and infect the fetus.

During labor and delivery, the baby may be exposed to the virus from a woman’s blood and other fluids. When a woman goes into labor, the amniotic sac breaks (her water breaks). Once this occurs, the risk of transmitting HIV to the baby increases. Most babies who get HIV become infected around the time of delivery.

Breastfeeding also can transmit the virus to the baby.

I wonder what they’ll name it if they ever come to Slovakia or Czech republic. “Z-Points” are personal pick-up points of the Packeta delivery service.

less, I don’t remember what distro it was, but there wasn’t less. There was more though.

Sorry, I don’t know. But I wonder how those apps work. It’s not like you’re always typing or moving the mouse. Sometimes you need to take time to think something through. And sometimes you might just be moving the mouse in circle while on phone call.

Nice reply. You made me reconsider that part about phones during breaks.

It is too late for me, but I believe it is for the better. If I made friends with the kind of classmates I always had, I believe they would have bad influence on me. For example, last year the class’ main character, 17 at the time, found someone’s shoes in locker room, unattended. He decided to piss into them. Also popular is weed, vaping, alcohol, making mess in places like McDonald’s (like mixing a burger with cola and spilling it all over the table…), damaging school property on purpose, etc…

While not friends, I do have good memories about some teachers that will last. My elementary school teacher was quite nice. She would always listen if I wanted to talk about something, even if it was relatively nonsense. If I found something interesting, I was always hyped to tell her. Basically like a mom should be.
In middle school, my physics, chemistry and math teachers were nice.
You could always have some conversation with physics teacher, whether school related or not. He always kept happy mood, at least on the outside.
The math teacher did similarly, but I also appreciate how hard he tried to get us to learn at least something. He got to the point where he shown us the exact questions that were to be on exam. It didn’t help. Now I feel quite sad about him, you could sometimes see him on the verge of crying. Especially during and after the COVID-19 lockdown. He tried hard to make math more interesting.
Chemistry teacher was also nice. I could talk with him about problems I had at home. Being able to tell about your problems to someone is nice. Also, when the COVID-19 lockdown came, we had online learning. I didn’t have internet access, and only got an old laptop with broken keyboard from neighbor and I didn’t have money for a replacement keyboard. It really surprised me, but he gave me money to fix that laptop. I don’t know if he also intended that, but it made me feel like I had to put more effort into studying. I won’t forget that.

Most of my high school teachers are nice though. Actually there’s just 1 I don’t like. That is a nice change since till high school it was just the 4 aforementioned that I liked.

I was rather referring to having nobody who would text/call me, besides my carrier, of course. But also that means I won’t end up in restaurant with someone.

user224 , 10 months ago to memes in Why must we be done this way?

I am not talking about unrestricted access either. It depends on age, but they could always just ask the teacher if they’re allowed to look up something. And also I don’t see how disallowing phones during breaks helps education. It’s meant to be a break.

user224 , 10 months ago to memes in Why must we be done this way?

You can just disallow phones during classes.

user224 , 10 months ago to memes in Why must we be done this way?

Slovakia here. The school is kinda crap. 2 times each week the whole day is subject called “Professional training”, but we almost never do anything at all in there. Whole 2 days of nothing, I am being serious. It’s basically just for attendance, and even that just partially. If you arrive 4 hours late, the teacher will sign you off as if you were there the whole day.

I hope it changes this year. I hope.

Also, math teacher allows us to listen to music during exams. That was her idea, actually.

But we have also integrated the phones into the process. Teachers send us notes we’re meant to work with during classes, on our phones. Likewise we do exams on our phones. Adapt and overcome. This is already high school though. Only the first hear of high school is mandatory, now I am here because I want to study, not because I have to. I could leave anytime if I wished to do that.
