    Maybe he meant there's no such thing in the context of that application?

    Probably! He was a very smart guy (way more formal education in computer science than I), so I've always assumed there was some truth to what he said, but he didn't elaborate further and I didn't like bothering him with unnecessary questions, so I never followed up on the topic despite my confusion.

        My chemistry teacher didn't understand why consumers complain about pesticides, since she claimed you could just rinse them off easily (which isn't entirely accurate). She got cancer shortly after.

          I wrote a paper on the origin of the y chromesome in biology class in college and the professor docked me points with the note written in the margins "I don't think humans and papayas have a common ancestor."

              A middle school teacher asked for an analogy about something, I don’t remember what specifically, but I raised my hand and excitedly said “Oh! Like how math can help you understand music and music can help you understand math?”

              The teacher looked at me like I was a total fool and said “music has absolutely nothing to do with math, how could you possibly think that?”

              Since I was a snarky little punk, and I knew I was right, I said “have you heard about the circle of fifths? Let me tell you about it” and I proceeded to explain the mathematical beauty of music to the entire class. I even had sheet music in my bag from my piano lessons, so I pulled it out and showed it to everyone to explain the bars, tempo, and time signature, all of which are based on mathematical principles.

              She was not happy to be proven wrong in front of a class of fifth graders.

              music has things that can be described mathematically in ways that are largely historical, but not axiomatic in a math sense. but if learning music helps you learn math and/or visa versa, power to you.

                Never seen that movie, but wouldn’t teleportation just kill you from the demolecularzation or whatever?

                In the movie it did worse: mangle you on reassembly because a fly got in the teleporter with you

                  The only agreeable thing here is that sautéed garlic and onions are yummy. The rest is some serious 😬

                            Utter nonsense but it was said to my boy by a junior school teacher. Was an interesting conversation when I talked to her at parent teacher day.

                                Well speaking as a queer person I and many of my friends have had the pyramid cited to us to show why we would always be unhappy. The hierarchy is not an entirely flawed concept and in the broadest of strokes I agree with it. Which is why I only say it's overrated, not inherently wrong. The hierarchy just falls apart rather quickly for GSM folks while being taken as fact by the general population.

                                  I'm familiar with the hierarchy, but I'm failing to see how or why it would be used to say that queer people would always be unhappy. What's that all about?

                                    My high school chem teacher, while explaining soap micelles, went on a tangent saying that we don't really need soap to wash ourselves and that he personally never used soap while bathing,
                                    I liked that teacher but TMI and gross.

                                        Sounds like the words of a boring teacher who's incapable of meaningful self-reflection as to what they could maybe improve upon

                                          Ahh, I didn't get to that part of my French classes, lol

                                          I learned that "ne" and "pas" are like a sandwich, and the verb stuff being negated is the sandwich contents, so that stuck with me. Lol

                                          Thanks for the correction!
