  1. different students learn at different rates, there might be a fire drill during a lesson which now puts you a lesson behind so you need to adjust to keep up, new syllabuses mean the content you are teaching might change, kids might work slower than expected, might not understand a topic the previous group understood perfectly well, some specific kids might not be confident to speak up in class, other kids might want to always answer every question..... .....just off the top of my head why I can't just use the same plan for every lesson.

    begging the question, at least, HAS correct usages. 'could care less' as it is commonly used by Americans, and intended to mean 'I couldn't care any less than I do, because I don't care' means absolutely the opposite of what is intended.

    Since praying gains nothing, I'd say breaking things is worse

    Maybe something crazy like taking inexpensive vitamin D pills

    Why are you all talking about Clinton constantly whenever discussion of Trump comes up? Why can't you discuss Trump? Hilary is gone. I know that the dude can't just be doing it for the money that comes with the ties made through being in office, and with the massive ego he clearly has he is obviously not going to want people to look back on his presidency and say he was utterly crap at the job. What about discussing the jobs he claims he is going to be making? The improvements to infrastructure? Making the US more self sufficient? Yes there are a lot of potentially/definitely bad things that are going to come out some of his plans, like reopening huge numbers of coal mines, but it's time to discuss him, not the person he won against. If I were arrested for stabbing somebody I wouldn't rest my entire defence on somebody else stabbing 2 people the previous week. Get a fucking grip, America.

  10. Incorrect Headline Title on Stephen Hawking: We Might Have 1,000 Years Left on Earth (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Hawking's quote and the article's headline do not have identical meanings. He said we won't have another 1000, meaning we'll have less than that number and probably implying much less than that, whereas the article headline says we might get a full 1000. Bad journalism isn't the worst thing in the world, but to constantly have news headlines doing this just serves to further homogenise the English language to the point where those of us who actually know how to speak English, with all it's infinite(hyperbole, of course) variety of meanings, are having our speech dumbed down by proxy.

    If you're spending the best part of £1000 on a phone, you can afford £25 for some bluetooth headphones. That's a fact, unless you have completely messed up priorities and are spending such a huge amount on a phone you can't afford.

    Sorry, but you're wrong. ICT qualifications are being phased out next year, to be replaced with Computer Science; this government being obsessed with 'coding', whatever they think that means.

  16. Re:So many problems... on Hackers Offer a DIY Alternative To The $600 EpiPen (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    These devices are one-shot deals. You just don't put more than a maximum safe dose of the drug into the pen in the first place. That prevents death or injury due to overdose. Completely negates it. No issue there. So the issue then is whether or not a slightly lower dose would be fatal. Any under-dosing is unlikely to be massive, and as another poster pointed out, the drug has a shelf life anyway, so a pen giving you a lower dose of a fresh drug isn't going to be much different to a perfect dose of an older drug. The administering of the drug is the only big issue, as far as I can tell. Do you want to risk the drug not being injected at all, or injecting in the wrong place and being ineffective in that way. Since the regular epipens can be injected in the wrong place also, that just leaves catastrophic failure as the main worry, and I'm pretty sure that someone for whom this device working could be a matter of life or death would be absolutely sure to follow these instructions to the letter.

  17. I would have thought this was pretty much obvious to anyone but a moron. Money serves a purpose, bitcoin serves that purpose, at least in part, so can be given the same label.
