I use Foobar on pretty much basic settings because I've never taken the time to wrap my head around what the gently caress I can do with it (which is supposed to be a lot). Also, I had my second Covid vax yesterday and in addition to the sore arm, I also feel somewhat unwell today, so I'm sat at home while I try to get a grip on how much of this is tiredness and how much could be post-vax malaise.

Dahl - not someone whose company you really want to be in - was talking about ugliness, not age, but it's all the same poo poo. Being Tory makes you dress, and cut your hair, in Tory ways. It absolutely does not make you bald, grey, or wrinkly.

Prioritisation of delayed operations by whether you need to get back to work instead of triaged by need or by time on waiting lists? Can’t see how that could be weaponised by our press

Did he show up to help? Did he gently caress. He always had somewhere "important" to be which turned out to be taking Saudi money to say sawing journalists in half is cool and good. Here's hoping his humiliation is large and spectacular

I like having the physical thing that I know isn’t going to vanish overnight if a service provider shuts down, they usually come with download codes these days too A vinyl collection is a total ballache if you ever have to move house though.

Incidentally her school are mad as hell at minicurve because she’s a super genius and has decided to leave at the end of year 12 with the 2 A level CDM equivalent, (and the engineering qualifications the other college and it’s parent university will treat as 2 A levels), so she can re-start her A level years and get another 4 for free. Alongside tight nonsense I know for a Fact that they will have to submit her to the board in April, but her “lesson plan” is to the end of the school year.

It's the one subject that didn't seem to require any real knowledge or qualification beyond "is Christian" and "is homophobic".

Our RS teacher at our all white school went off the reservation, told us about anything but Christianity, would turn up to lessons dressed as Lawrence of Arabia and dedicated a shitload of time to AIDS education and anti-homopbia. No one grassed on him and he buggered off back to doing AIDS prevention work in Africa after two years. (Edit: He also turned an entire school vegetarian) His elderly replacement spent his time telling us to read books we liked while inventing a seatbelt for dogs which he sold to a company and retired on.

The Irish Data Protection Commission are trying to be the most regulatoraly captured of any captured regulator in the world, which in a crowded field is no mean feat, and I feel like they should get more support from all of us;The Irish Times posted:Ireland’s data protection commissioner (DPC) Helen Dixon has triggered an unprecedented war of words with other EU regulators, dragging into the open a long-simmering stand-off over its oversight of Facebook and other US tech companies based in Dublin. The letters and the responses are available on https://www.noyb.eu - which is an absolutely brilliant resource if you’re involved with personal data in any capacity - but the language the DPC are using is incredible, accusing the rest of the EU of making backroom deals and ganging up on Ireland through the medium of public committee hearings. It’d be funny if it wasn’t serious. I think it might lead to Ireland being sanctioned in a properly meaningful way as well. Hope the taxes they’re raising from these firms can offset any fines

If there's one thing I hate it's the whole gifted children with separate schools for gifted children concept, talk about learning ubermensch notions from a young age.... That's not a thing that is legal in Finland at least, the school system is focused on fostering equality and working in groups rather than rugged invidualism.

The UK doesn't have any kind of gifted children schools or anything does it? You just get put into a class with all the other kids perceived as least likely to eat their own stationery. You need to be rich to get a better class of education in this country, they don't give a gently caress how smart you are.

Gifted children don't need nurturing into super-geniuses, they need to be taught how to learn even though they seem to absorb everything easily. And maybe be checked for ADHD even though they're not "naughty" or "thick". Signed, me Also, Apple Music plus vinyl is the top combo

I think nothing retarded my development more than being put in special nerd classes. I'd wager a large proportion of posters itt were similarly know-it-alls who were told they had a big brain at a young age and then became terminally lazy wastrels over the years. I mean I have qualifications and a decent job now but still lol at giving "smart" kids extra attention, seems kinda backwards.

OwlFancier posted:I'm skeptical of the notion of gifted children because they thought I was one and lol no I was just an early peaker. "They" being my parents thought similar stuff, so I am too very skeptical of the whole notion in retrospect. This also affects how I look at my own kids, don't really have that rose tinted parental view of them. Sorry to say, but they aren't the cleverest of the crop, in a lot of ways they're behind average at the moment, but they're happy and social kids, more than average, which probably serves people better than brains do.

I also honestly just don't like academia. I don't know that I ever did even when I was good at it. It doesn't make me happy and it's completely unsustainable into adulthood with ADD. If they'd stuffed me into some sort of practical skill class I would have probably turned out a lot happier.Continuity NIP posted:Me too I just peaked low By "early" I mean like, year 6.

God yes, this. In my country, for secondary schools you had the Lycée Classique (for clever academic kids) and the Lycée Technique (for thickos to learn trades) - it wasn't explicitly stated like this, but that was the general impression. It's quite 11+ like, but I think done on discussion with parents and teacher, rather than a test. Of course there was no question of me going to the Technique, because I was "gifted", even though I would probably have loved to learn electronics and electrical engineering and stuff. sebzilla posted:Yes hello.

Hard same, but with even worse Higher results (I got 2 Highers at C, and only after I failed them the first year and had to redo them. Which meant having to drop Spanish to make space on my timetable, that was a bummer. I definitely cruised by until it wasn't enough and then didn't know how to do any different.
