  • That is a good point, and to be honest, I had completely forgotten about both assassination attempts. When I heard him bring it up during the debate that “he took a bullet to the head”, it just felt like every other crazy grandpa story. Especially since he also says stuff like “they’re eating the dogs and cats”.

    Since there haven’t been any policy changes and no one even seems to WANT policy changes, it’s yet another in the long list of “thoughts and prayers”.

    But agreed on the imagery of how political campaigns look with guns. It gets a bit too “Y’allquaeda”. I just want the campaigns to show him as the whiny baby he is.













  • That’s not the fault of the user/students, though. They’re different tools. One is outright worse than not using it. Neither produce lasting benefits.

    Headline: Screwdrivers better than hammers for screws.

    Text: When craftspeople were trained using hammers with screwdriver bits duct-taped to them, they were able to perform the task, but were not able to keep pace with people using screwdrivers. Another team was given power drills, which were effective in practice. However, these did not produce any benefit once all people were given screwdrivers.








  • I was shocked when I first started working in the tech industry how many people will still click a ‘request’ or ‘send’ button multiple times if it doesn’t IMMEDIATELY go through or grey out the button.

    Then they wonder why it gives them 14 copies of the same error.

    “Well, how many times did you hit ‘request’? 15? Hmm. What could it be? We’ll never know.”
