Idk what's more insane : the fact they are paying, or the fact that $2M would somehow only pay for 54 students worth of scholarship...

$37K per student, seriously !? Where is that money even going to !?

So compass and straight edge is Turing complete ? Amazing !

I think there was a Japanese study that shown that pen and paper is superior in terms of memorisation even to handwriting on a tablet (in addition to the well publicised fact that handwriting is far better than typing for that too)

I wish we had more info on the subject. Definitely got me to switch back to pen and paper from my iPad, and anecdotally I think it's worked out well for me.

Eating chicken IS expensive ! It also happens to be immoral, but that's not relevant here. Vegan is cheaper unless you live in some sort of hellscape where only hyper-processed food is available.

It really depends where you live. Strawberries should be a luxury in places they don't grow locally ; I can't give a worldwide opinion on the price of strawberries.

Fruit in general should not be a luxury, but fruit from far away or fruit that require a lot of resources to grow should be.

I do exclusively eat grains, potatoes, carrots, and beans ! (and other vegetables, fruits, and legumes)

Eating even the cheapest chicken I could find at LIDL (a little over 10€) would at least triple my food budget.

I think also Americans live in a different world pricing-wise, I have seen some people respond to me with some prices I didn't think existed.

So I guess the universe where it is expensive is called "Europe".

Exactly what I though. Good luck trying to find a whole entire chicken for 6.45€ anywhere in the EU ; last time I checked LIDL, the cheapest they had was a little over 10€

I didn't know they sold it for this cheap. But does that price include taxes ? Still a little pricey IMO, but tolerable (only if taxes are included).

$13.99 is a very high price for something that gets you 2 days worth of meal tops. Maybe I'm just a cheapskate though ?

Last time I checked a whole chicken was like 10-15€ or something (and I was at a discount store, so that's a low estimate). That sounds real expensive to me, my meals only cost me around 1€ each usually. And I'm pretty sure you can't stretch a single rotisserie chicken across 10-15 meals ?

To be fair, I have never bought or eaten meat as an adult, so I have no frame of reference for its price.

I tend to prefer getting the apps directly from the code repositories via Obtainium, but I use F-Droid to search for apps !

It's a little confusing to me how it could be physically possible that there'd be no difference.

I'm not saying I think I could tell which is which, but surely they can't sound the same ? Or if they do, why do we even use copper, instead of just making cables out of the cheapest random conductive substance available ? Is copper just that substance ?

I don't even use "being awake" 16 hours a day 😂
