In the US you sometimes hear that phones in class are necessary to see if your kids are OK in a school shooting scenario.

I think this isn't a good argument, since school shootings are rare, and it's unclear if each student having a phone would do more harm than good in that kind of situation.

I think your Title IX comment is a misinterpretation of the video. He never said Title IX is responsible for the achievement gap, and cautioned against policies that disadvantage girls. He used Title IX as an example to show that the academic achievement gap in favor of boys, that Title IX was attempting to solve, is smaller than the current academic gap in favor of girls (at least by one measure); therefore systemic action is necessary.

But I found this video did a good job at clearly stating the crisis we have for boys, particularly black boys in America. And the idea of pushing for more male teachers, particularly English teachers, seems like good policy.

The video is not about sports, it's about the achievement gap in k-12 education in boys, particularly in social or economically disadvantaged classes.

I don't see the connection between neurodivergence and phones

I've received the advice that you should always make your charts so that you numbers are proportional to a length, since people aren't good at comparing areas (or volumes).

So the numbers here probably ought to be proportional to diameters

hitting refresh in firefox reader mode works for me.

I've been using Rofi for a few years. I can't think of anything to look out for, pretty much does what it says on the tin.

Acoustic is funnier than analog, and I'm not sure if it's any less accurate than analog. In analog clocks, the passage of time is represented in an analogous rotation of clock hands. In analog sound, the change in voltage on a wire is analogous to the pressure waves you hear as sound. I don't know what is analogous to what in biking.

Also, the opposite of analog is digital, and ebikes are not digital bikes.
