Then again, your teacher could have a doctoral degree, be maxed in on year of experience for the pay scale, and use summers to work a second job, for even more money. You can’t assume all teachers are making the same $30-50k many new teachers are making. This might also be why districts love to hire young, new teachers that haven’t earned graduate degrees yet, and have less years of experience. They’re cheaper to employ.

If you don't study, you will use "either" where "both" is supposed to be used.

I think that "both" would mean "earns more than their salaries combined", whereas "either" means "earns more than their salaries individually".

You are right, and I spent my time scrolling lemmy instead of studying.

Use languages with manual memory managment

It's a programming joke. If you declare variables or set a value to a space in the storage, this space is blocked even after the programme is done using that variable. So to write a programme with efficient use of storage, you have to free the storage space after you are using it.

Many programming languages use a routine called "garbage collector" to free unused storage space.

So, if you don't want to be a garbage collector, you have to assign storage space manually.

That is a deliciously deep cut. Thank you for explaining it to me.

The garbage collector around my house doesn't get out of the truck to get the trash it's all hydraulic arm. Sounds pretty chill to me.

The ones at my parents are so lazy they'll write a note saying that 3ft apart ain't enough, get out of their truck and put that note on the can, then get back in and leave

With how little is in their cans it's more work to write the fucking Note than to nudge the can another 2 inches so your lazy ass doesn't have to aim the arm AT ALL rather than a little bit

I've done trash collection in other scenarios by hand so I'm not just shitting on these guys for their job, too

Just snort a bunch of drugs every weekend and you won't smell a thing too

All I need is a pet, and allergies do that for me. Cheaper than drugs!

And you get to hang off of the back of the truck like a bamf. That was the dream to 5yo me
