I think Irish Stew is safe. No one’s touching that.

The rot really began with Google and the the goal of “professionalism” in teaching.

Textbooks were thrown out, in favour of “flexible” teaching models, and Google allowed lazy teachers to just set assignments rather than teach lessons (prior to Google, the lack of resources in a normal school made assignments difficult to complete to any sort of acceptable standard).

The continual demand for “professionalism” also drove this trend - “we have to have these vast, long winded assignments because that’s what is done at university”.

AI has rendered this method of pedagogy void, but the teaching profession refuses to abandon their aim for “professionalism”.

It switches to storing files on Onedrive without warning.

Then if you disable Onedrive, you lose access to your files (on Onedrive) and their memory space is reused.

It doesn’t actually delete local storage, as the path is just switched.

When I was in year 5 the kids in the class had been working cutting apricots and they bought tonnes of candy and these whistles they were blowing all the time.

How much did the whistles cost ? one cent.

True story.

From the questions people ask and from online accounts.

The MacIntosh did not have an eject button famously.

Its upside down you know. The rocket engine fires upwards and what you see is after it pushes back, Newton’s First Law and all that (equal and opposite reaction).

If it pushed down, it wouldn’t work in space cos there’s nothing for it to push against.

“Benny Hill owns Thames TV, he named it after his Thames van” (pronounced to rhyme with “frames”).

I think the term “The Nethetlands” was coined after the Reformation and Counter-Reformation when the northern provinces ,which became Lutheran, separated from the southern provinces which remained Roman Catholic.

The country was usually referred as “Holland” (a northern province) before then.

America was originally just the name of South America, then the English lazily coined the term “North America”.

Biden increased sanctions on Venezuela.

During the Venezuelan election, when the US-backed opposition leader said that he wouldn’t give the oilfields back to the US, Biden had their financial support cut off and arrested opposition members living in the US.

The Venezuelan policy is bipartisan.

Prior to LED torches, the flashlights on films were turned off, and the light was painted in later, as the beam wouldn’t show up on film anyway. This is doubly true in that night scenes were filmed during the day and they just filmed through a grey filter.

It’s not free you know.

Yes, the software doesn’t cost anything but the chipset is supplied by a single manufacturer Qualcomm and costs a bomb.

By “non-political” he means pro-MAGA.

Recommended minimum for Win 11 is 4 GB.

The system does not need to use RAM to run multiple programs, it can use secondary memory.

A ZX-81 had 784 bytes of RAM. And no secondary memory.

You do know you would need more RAM in that case right ?
