  1. Call me a spring chicken, but I find the occasional obsession with geometric construction to be an annoying relic of the past.

    If you don't know what geometric construction is, it is using a compass and a ruler to draw geometric shapes according to a specification. Like,

    "Draw an equilateral triangle."

    "Draw a line parallel to this other line that goes through this point."

    In this day and age, it is a *cute* skill, but also a mostly useless one.

    What's next? Let's teach students how to use the abacus?

    I am at the age of having done drafting with an actual drafting table in engineering school. I don't recall ever learning how to do geometric constructions.

    "What if you did it, but just don't remember?"

    Well, if I don't remember, that tells you how much of an impact it had on my life: none.

    Oh, and please call me a spring chicken. 🥹 Pretty please!

  10. There are all kinds of Uselessness and not every one is as advisable as another. Like doom scrolling. There was this woman the other day she couldn’t take here attention away from her screen, one finger mostly swiping up. There was not once an emotion on here face. It lasted at least 20 minutes. 20 minutes of total indifference.
