Exactly. They want to be perceived as smarter (basically look down on the unwashed masses.) They don't want to do the work to be more educated. Hence the hurdles they can put in front of the poors while they get to pay for fastpass to skip the line directly into the ivy leagues.

They were NEVER smarter. At most at one time they had more leisure time and access to books and tutors when reading and books were rare. That made them more educated, and they want to go back to that desperately.

Let's break this down and look at it a different way.

If my hobby were shooting guns and I were to set up a shooting range in my garage and I killed a neighbor, am I responsible?

If my hobby were fireworks and I was making them in my kitchen and burned down my apartment building killing 3 people, am I to blame?

The driver is engaging in a dangerous hobby in a reckless manner. We all know racing is dangerous because people die even in controlled conditions. We know he is being reckless because he is not racing in a place designed for it. When you put others in harms way based on your own stupidity, you face consequences.

I've been given some equipment that recorded my breathing and heartrate (little tubes near my mouth and nose, chest strap). just check em out and return them the next day.

I'm in a similar boat. Over an hour commute, younger kids with afterschool activities 4 days a week. A wife has a full-time job, luckily, she finally finished her master' so we reclaimed Saturdays and I'm not running the taxi service solo.

Shit is exhausting, but I am glad our daughters got to see their mom a accomplished something so huge, and I'm proud to have supported her along the way.

I seem to remember wedge was basically an inclined plane, and a screw was an inclined plane wrapped around an axle. Also a pulley is a specific application of wheel and axle.

I want to say Russia doesn't consider it a crime to hack as long as the system/IP you are accessing is outside Russia. No source on that cause Im lazy, so take it with a boulder of salt.

 

I am trying to slowly peel away from Google and my next task is Google Calendar. I currently have a couple shared calendars with other people and I'm not going to be able to break them free from Google quite yet. I have a next cloud server I was hoping to set up to be my primary source but I need to be able to interact with the shared calendars as well. Can I create a group calendar and have other persons, Google Calendar sync to it?

I'm not married to Next Cloud. It was just what I have available. I can do a different setup if that would work better.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
