It’s made for people of a certain age, and those people don’t go to the movies much I think.

Paying 20% - 40% more for dumbed-down OS that limits what software I can use. I mean literally any one of those alone is a deal breaker. It was never gonna work.

I first used Linux in the late 90s, and it was just something that worked better on an older box. I installed Red Hat on an old 286 and the fun part was honestly getting it to work and learning about computers. Then one day I realized that I was spending all my free time working inside on this thing, but I was living on the water, in the Florida Keys, with access to boats and jet skis and pretty much anything. That had been my dream my whole life and all of a sudden I was living it. And I didn’t even have to be at work, right next door, until 10am. I was on a break from school then, and that’s actually what caused me to change my major from CS. I didn’t think it would be helpful to spend my whole life indoors!

Now I’m a physics teacher and I sometimes teach my 9th graders how to use Python for simple things like graphing. I love my life and I’m really thankful I keot computers as a hobby rather than as my profession.

The kind of writing they do is it try to explain in English why their incorrect answers doing actually work. It’s a really great way to get them thinking, and to get me some insight into how they understand the concepts.

But also kids just need to practice writing! It’s a superpower! And it’s an important part of gathering info and explaining it to yourself!

I teach kids how to do physics, and how to write about doing physics.

Pepperoni and pineapple pizza. The sweet and tangy go sooooo well together!
