  • If I need more than 2 decimals of precision, I’d use the calculator. But by the time I type it in I already know to expect an answer of about 0.23. If the calculator give me anything else, I’ll redo it more carefully.

    A good student knows enough basic math to know whether or not their calculator did what they thought it did, or if they mistyped something, had it in the wrong mode, missed order of operations, etc.



  • If I don’t block ads, then I’m stealing from the advertiser who’s paying per impression to someone who isn’t interested in their crap.

    If the ad makes noise, moves around the screen, crashes my browser, or otherwise actively interferes with my ability to obtain the information I was looking for, It’ll leave me with such a negative impression that I won’t buy anything from that brand, now or ever – or from the creator who allowed them to break an otherwise good website.

    So really, by blocking ads, I’m defending the good reputation of both creators and their sponsors.





  • Some folding money, a bank card, some loose checks (ragged from wear as I prefer the previous items for most retail transactions), some ID cards, a gift card that I might use, another that I’ll probably give away to someone who shops at that store, a local library card, a library card from a place I lived 10 years ago but is probably still valid, a torn piece of paper with some unexplained writing on it (some phone numbers, but I forget whose; I think a pin for a card I don’t have anymore; a gate code for a storage locker I no longer use), a blood donor card with blood type (A+), a partially accurate vaccination card, some other things that are either expired, or never mattered.
