I'm a 36 year old professor. My only negative evaluation this past semester was that I didn't give homework. Though, most of them hated my guts from using grades to tell them their work was mostly average.

The students realized they needed to change to improve their grades. And subsequently, they grew the way I expected, which was far more than they thought they would. They recognized I was teaching them more than the material: I was teaching them the meta. That was valuable enough to them to forgive me for being such a dick about the numbers that define their self worth.

So, want the students to give you those glowing 10/10 evaluations? Piss them off and make them glad that you did. Give them something of value that no one has. But, based off of how much you seem to care about the difference between a 95% and 100%, I think, much like my students, you are chasing your participation trophy. Think on it.

Knowing 'the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell' means absolutely nothing sans any context. It should make you sad that people's knowledge of your field is as shallow as a puddle. (Kidding mostly. Also projecting)

'i' before 'e' except after 'c'

My sell on password managers is quality of life. You never have to reset your passwords and you can use a hotkey to enter it faster than typing. Gone are the days of fat fingers.

But I get where people have an issue. It's one point of failure vs. many, but they don't realize It's easier to well secure the one than it is to not spread the same vulnerability everywhere.

As Kramer said. Levels. If tou layer your security 2 becomes a non issue. What you have, what you know, and who you are. Which plays into 1. The 3-2-1 of backup. 3 copies of the data. 2 different media. At least 1 off site. Suprising as it might be, writing a great backup is to write your password down. I have a piece of paper with my password in a lock box in my apartment, in a safety deposit box at my bank, and at my parent's house

Phillidelphians also destroyed hitchBOT, threw D cell batteries at members of the opposing team at an Eagles game, and Flyer's fans threw bracelets honoring their late owner on the ice when they didn't like a call. So I agree. Philly does represent at least some instances of Lemmy. 🤣

You are giving the average person too much credit. If you ask them what OS they are running, they are as likely to say 'windows' as they are to say 'dell'
