Sunny weather. Living in Ireland, the sun is ALWAYS a welcome respite from the constant dull rainy shite.

We don't have those kind of calculators in the schools here. I just do the old-fashioned "input random sums and see what the calculator says".

As a school student in a school where phones are banned, I think this is a bad idea. The ban achieves 2 things for me:

  1. Making it harder to check a fact or figure quickly.

  2. Preventing me from listening to music, playing games or browsing the web uring lunch break.

It DOES NOT stop me from becoming disengaged from the class! If I'm bored, I'll look out the window, play with a calculator or something similar. And of course the ban hasn't stopped many students using phones anyway. Maybe phone bans don't solve the issue of uninteresting classes after all?

I chose the username "computerfan" because I'm a fan of computers. Soon I found a website where that username was taken, so I added my (at the time) favourite number to the end and kept it ever since.

I think it should be limited to thirty years at the absolute maximum. In addition, I feel as though copyright should have to be defended. If the copyright holder does not make their copyrighted work available for a certain amount of time, it should fall into public domain.

I love the animations too! Glad to see a 2D Mario with an actually new style!

Currently relaxing in an all inclusive. Will be staying here until Tuesday next week.

The town nearest to me has free wifi on its main street AFAIK. Can see it being very useful for homeless people.

ooh it's here now! (upload.wikimedia.org)

Didn't really visit the r/196 community on Reddit, but nice to see that it's made it over here! (Yes, this is for the rule lol)

I'm the same. I'm used to adding "site:reddit.com" to my searches to ensure that I get actual answers as opposed to those crappy blogs with 5 screens of nonsense and tons of blank space (supposed to be filled with ads!). Not to mention all the obscure problems that those blog owners haven't monetised.

Yes, this is my first time. I was never really a fan of Twitter or similar social medias, preferring the subreddit and thread based nature of Reddit.

I'll be going to Lanzarote for 10 days in a week. Later I'm attending a summer camp for 2 and a half weeks. I also hope to visit my town's festival in between these times away.
