    As much as i hate my own answer, when using a computer for work or school you should adapt to using the operating system and sofware supported by that school.

    The last thing you want is to, in middle of class get instructed to download and use x, and then have to go into a rabbithole of trying to be compliant, missing the class.

    I would not trust a vm for cad software because i don’t know how heavy the stuff is that you would be doing. You might need that dedicated gpu. dualboot is probably a better option.

    Another interesting idea, based on the fact that Linux can read and use from windows disks is to make it windows and school appropriate with 2 partitions, then install your preferred linux on a fast bootable usb.

    This way you can take and run your linux wherever you want, and when you plug it in the laptop you just access the partition from the windows disk to put heavy programs and files.

    I am doing sm similar on desktop where my old windows drive is still there and functional but is also used as game install drive from linux.

    This seems to be an unpopular opinion but i personally had someone block me for presumably being too friendly and sincere, after an initial comment where i had agreed with them and defended their downvoted comment.

    A second person blocked me after i pointed out that the person they where calling ai/a bot is in fact a well loved moderator of the community they tried to be a part of and they where simply misreading the room.

    I don’t really mind that people remove themselves but it does worry me that tolerance of others have gotten so low that ideologically similar people will label each other enemies based on very basic misunderstandings of topics they agree about.

    This is certainly bad, but in context of the general problem of Pfas this feels strange to focus on.

    These chemicals are literally everywhere, non stick pans, pizza boxes, dental floss, contact lenses, rain jackets, cosmetics,…

    Almost everything that is water repellent has a high chance of being made with pfas. Those videos with the cool water repellent sprays, not so cool really.

    Dont get me wrong this is a serious issue but the article seems suprised to find it in firefighter clothing while i would personally be more suprised that its not in there.

    Trough sweat these people may get a higher dose then some others but in the context of all unborn babies already having pfas… this is (sadly) hardly something to be specifically upset about.

    Story time, third grader me would have done this no questions about it.

    Having to solve multiplication and recently had learned the table of 9 trick i was looking if there where other tricks I could find.

    The first one was number x10 and what i observed is that if you do times ten. You take the number. And you put 1 “0” behind it.

    Interesting…. I thought

    But the next one multiplied with a single digit so how could i apply that theory.

    Simple. 1+0 is 1, which is a single digit so if you multiply by 10, you actually multiply by 1+0 which means you put 1 zeros behind it

    Multiple by 2 is short for multiply By 2+0, put 2 zeros behind it

    Multiply by 9, put 9 zeros behind it.

    I definitely knew this is not what we had learned, and knew there was a “chance” i was going to fail all of these, i also even knew some of the actual answers however i also believed there was a chance that i found an alternative equally good solution, and I consciously decided to take that risk because I wanted to know if i was right. Maybe I discovered something new

    My teacher was not happy to say the least, and in that (actual) furry did treat me unfair and it still bothers me. Because i got a zero for the assignment… while i was very certain that the 2 occurrences of x10 did have the appropriate solution.
