  • Oh fucking hell I hate this thing.

    I am going back to school through work. I didn’t have this bullshit in my younger days. It’s made me drop my honors courses due to an asinine endless loop of hell.

    Whatever X percent matches as plagiarism. Professor says Y% is calculated for, for template formatting, etc. Still have some highlights of 3-4 words here and there, starting or ending paragraphs, “describe “blah”” answers that no matter how you re-word them something highlights. OK. Get creative with wording and phrasing, rewrite again.

    Now I’m pinged as using AI to do my writing. What?! Asshat prof basically has to side teach me where to check for this, school doesn’t have a tool. Fucker, I am old and can write faster than some chatbot. They’ve prob been trained on my whole generations writings.

    Anyway. If I cleared the plagiarism, I failed the AI writing check. If I corrected my paper and cleared the AI check, I failed the plagiarism again. Fuck Turnitin.

    The fruit is where we got the word for the color! There was no color word for orange until the fruit started becoming known and traded around the globe. Boggled my fucking mind as a kid when I learned that.

    Edit, it is early for me… As I don’t know anything about the origin of aubergine… is it the same deal? And I just need to wake up and catch up, lol?


  • I had to go looking, since I was always told the same, in re. German immigrants and blending food habits.

    From Wikipedia:
    Etymology and terminology The term hamburger originally derives from Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany; however, there is no specific connection between the dish and the city.[4]

    By linguistic rebracketing, the term “burger” eventually became a self-standing word that is associated with many different types of sandwiches that are similar to a hamburger, but contain different meats such as buffalo in the buffalo burger, venison, kangaroo, chicken, turkey, elk, lamb or fish such as salmon in the salmon burger, and even with meatless sandwiches as is the case of the veggie burger.[5]

    The term burger can also be applied to a meat patty on its own. Since the term hamburger usually implies beef, for clarity burger may be prefixed with the type of meat or meat substitute used, as in beef burger, turkey burger, bison burger, or portobello burger. In most English-speaking countries, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, a piece of chicken breast in a bun is a chicken burger. Americans would call this a chicken sandwich because the meat is not ground, whereas in other countries, anything with a bun is considered a burger and a sandwich uses other types of bread (sliced bread, baguette…).[6][7][8][9]

    As an older woman studying cybersecurity as well, it is very good to hear this from y’all.

    Not who you asked but, I’m still early on and have heard I should go ahead and start some certifications on my own. Suggestions on the first few possibly from someone in the field?



  • I’ve been using Magic Earth, I am not sure that it has traffic and police. Does for sure have speed limit warnings you can set or turn off and camera alert options.

    I haven’t had it very long, there may be options I missed on setup. Worked great my last few trips. You can pre-download maps before you travel which was a must for me.
