For those who don't know the difference between gasoline and diesel. Diesel is much closer to petroleum in terms of consistency. It's thicker and sludgier, which means it takes longer to burn, and if your engine wasn’t built to take diesel, it'll basically clog everything to hell almost instantly.

[@wta1518]

But it has the advantage of being extremely energy dense. That's why pretty much everything pickup truck or larger uses it.

[@feuerling]

Also diesel engines use pressure and heat to cause self-ignition of the fuel mixture, gasoline uses spark plugs.

@@RaptorNX01, I think that was a quote from another source. Excerpt from Honor of the Queen by David Weber "I realize military people often lack the time for the study of history, but an ancient Old Earth soldier got it exactly right when he said war was simply the continuation of diplomacy by non-diplomatic means." "That's something of a paraphrase, and that 'simply' understates the case of it, but I'll grant that it sums up the sense of General Clausewitz's remark." Houseman's eyes narrowed as Honor supplied Clausewitz's name and rank, and other conversations flagged as eyes turned toward them. "Of course, Clausewitz came out of the Napoleonic Era on Old Earth, heading into the Final Age of Western Imperialism, and _On War_ isn't really about politics or diplomacy except inasmuch as they and warfare are all instruments of state politics. Actually, Sun Tzu made the same point over two thousand T-years earlier." End Excerpt

My heart breaks for them. I wasn’t given the talk, but at least I was given a book. That’s more than a lot of kids get. I gave my daughters all necessary info when they were young; I’ve gone into it more throughly as they got older. The floor has been open to *any and all* questions since then. I said I wouldn’t get mad, and I never have. They’re 15 & 16, and I’m proud to say they’re incredibly open, honest and responsible.

30:22 I work with Chess and I can explain why the tournaments are gendered. For most of the game’s history, it has been dominated by men and the chess scene in general has been incredibly hostile towards women players. Women have come forward about their experiences in open tournaments (mixed gender ones) and told tales of sexual harassment, abuse, bullying and even institutional penalties imposed towards them for the clothes they were wearing (such as tank tops, shorts and even sneakers) when male players get no such treatment. Historically, there have been instances of grandmasters refusing to coach young girls, but happily accepting boys. There are no male-only events, only female-only ones. Those gendered events are a way to incentivize women to play chess, and promote female presence in top level tournaments. Young girls have now a more reliable path towards a professional chess career. That being said, FIDE banning trans women is just plain stupid. It perpetuates the idiotic yet dominant idea that the reason that more men than women excel in chess is because of biological differences (i.e. “those born male are inherently more intelligent and logical”), when in actuality the reason lies within the history of sexism in the game and its institutions. This sexism affects all women, cis or trans.

23:00 As someone who does math for fun, I think I figured this out. The question should be "What is 8+5. Show your work". Then you'd either take 2 from 5 to make 10+3=13 or do long addition. It took me a good few minutes to figure this out. As the question is stated, unless there is some greater context in which the students are being taught to group to 10s before addition AND this is one of a series of questions along those lines with the proper explanation at the start of the section, the student's answer is right. As a former educator, the phrasing of the question makes me weep.

[@Greyhawksci]

@@chefcircuit5392 Also was a math tutor from elementary to college level for 10+ years. Not misleading, but either poorly phrased or phrased specific to how the students were taught to describe it. How, in one sentence, would you ask a question which describes redistributing values and targeting a specified intermediate value to beginner math students (elementary/primary students 5-10 years old) unfamiliar with the concept of the distributive property or the words "distribution", "intermediate", and "distributive"? Question is either poorly phrased or hyper-specific to the language used in class. It's NOT intentionally misleading in the least. "Show your work" is insufficient when you're trying to reinforce a specific mechanism, especially with single-digit numbers. There is no work for someone who memorized beyond writing the answer. You need to describe the specific method you want applied, you can't just say "solve it". In high school/secondary school, I'd expect them to say "Solve, show work using the distributive property." But not in elementary/primary school.

I got my period in 4th grade I only knew what was going on, that I wasn't dying, and what to do about it because a summer camp between 2nd and 3rd grade explained periods to me back then. My cousin didn't hear about periods until after she started her's, no one knew why she was crying for 2 straight days, turns out she was sure she was dying, she believed my grandparents wouldn't be able to deal with the news so she decided not to tell anyone, she truly believed she was actively dying. When my grandma found the underwear (that my cousin hid) with blood, she realized what was going on, tried to explain it to her but my cousin was sure she was being lied to. Last time I saw that cousin she was 19 years old and she still believed that babies were born out of the butt hole, that pee comes out the vagina, that you get pregnant from making out, and she didn't know what's the function of menstruation. We pretty much had the same ultra conservative upbringing with the huge difference of a single health class I got before 3rd grade at a summer camp (because no way our ultra Christian k-12 was teaching about that) I went to school with some girls that got their periods in 3rd grade, why would anyone wait until 6th grade to start teaching about it, especially with all the insane parents out there? Average age for the first period was 12 last time I checked meaning that roughly half of the kids that needed to know about periods are already menstruating by the time health class gets to that subject (although it has been proven that the average age keeps getting younger so I'm not sure if it's still at 12 or any younger and that's an average anyways so there are people starting it way younger than that) Edit: my original spelling was a mess because I got so upset when I heard about this.

What I do know is that I went to school with some classmates that started their periods when we were in 3rd grade and I started mine in fourth grade. I also haven't met a single gynecologist that thinks there's something wrong with an 8 year old getting their period. We really need to talk about this sooner, especially because the average age for the first menstruation keeps getting younger with time at quite a fast pace (that's the reason why most articles differ on the "average age" because it depends on when the article and it's sources were written because it keeps changing). Parents may think they know the average age for that and be incredibly wrong (not to mention the outliers). Some parents don't say anything about it until after the fact (sometimes even leading to trauma depending on how the parent deals with it). Some kids get gross misinformation from their parents rather than helpful facts. There's nothing intrinsically sexual about talking about periods in an anatomical level.

There are challenges a majority of women encounter as too does the majority of men encounter challenges. The nature of these challenges, while there is some overlap, can be different. It’s a “grass is always greener” scenario. Some men look at women online and say “they have it so much easier” because they are comparing their struggles to their success. The inverse can also be true. In order to fix these issues, we need to address both sets. Neglecting men’s issues out of spite for historical inequalities only prolongs suffering on both sides.

[@chemicals8582]

Regarding the 8+5 one, around 23:10: You know how they taught you back in school when you add two-digit numbers and one of the digits added up to more than 10, and you had to put the extra 1 on top of the next digits? They try to introduce the concept a bit earlier now; you make 10 and then you get some extra numbers on top of it. This helps explain that 13 is 10+3 and it makes it easier to add numbers together. When you're learning to add, you also have to teach kids about base 10 numbers and how they work and this is trying to do that. That being said, the question here is not really worded that elegantly, and is easily misinterpreted as "You can add 8+5 and get 10; show how to do that"

[@justalittleturtle5600]

[@comradewindowsill4253]

@@justalittleturtle5600 the thing they're shoddily explaining is just that it's trying to teach kids how to carry to the tens place. cause the base 10 system doesn't really tell you that the number you're dealing with is thirteen, it tells you the number is the sum of 1 ten and 3 ones, so the easiest way to teach people to add numbers in base ten is to make groups of ten, count how many you have, and then count the number of ones left over. hence, if you're starting with an 8 and a 5, either you take the 8 and add 2 to it from the 5, making 1 ten and 5-2=3 ones, or you could take the 5 and add 5 to it from the 8, making 1 ten and 8-5=3 ones. Compared to memorizing how each pair of single digits adds, of which there are 45 unique combinations, it's easier, cause all you have to remember is all the ways to add two digits to get 10, of which there's only five. It's something that I think you don't necessarily need to be taught, in order to realize, so a lot of people never formally learned it this way, they just knew it as that one quick trick they figured out to add faster. like the rule about how to multiply nines, that in every multiple of nine up to 81, if you add the digits together they add up to nine. I wasn't taught that by a teacher, a fellow student pointed it out to me once. Matter of fact, the teacher thought it was cheating, even tho there is an actual mathematical reason why they add up to 9, it's not just some random coincidence... wow, I'm actually still bitter about that.

[@aribantala]

If this is for children, why even present it on a formal language? Are we beneath on making up scenarios for math problems now? Just turn them into a simple scenario "Andy carries 8 Apples, and Bob carries 5 Apples and they need to give them to Charlie. But Charlie only wants 10 Apples. How much Apples that Andy and Bob need to left out?" Creating a scenario not only makes the question more digestible, but also teaches the reasoning of why the need to learn this because it may rises in their daily life

[@v1ncentislost]

23:01 i believe they mean “to make 10” in the process of the equation, because the teacher writes “then add 3” (e.g. 8+2=10 +3=13 or smtn) but it’s worded horribly, it took me a second to think of anything lol. the only way i can back up the teacher is if this was something they were already doing in class, because then with the context the students could figure out the question easily

23:10 so I understand the confusion of the child but I also understand where the teacher is getting at. It's a way to teach an easy way to mentally calculate. If you ask me to do 8+5, I would actually get 10 first then adding the rest. Basically what happens in my head, although pretty fast, is "ok so if I add 2 to 8 that gives me 10 and 5 minus 2 is 3 and 10+3=13 so the answer is 13". Maybe there are some people who do mental calculation straight away without going through these steps but I know that for me it really helps getting the right answer. Especially when it starts getting to bigger numbers.
