  1. When you say side, do you mean faces or edges? If I had a 3D circle then it would have 2 faces, but if I drew a circle then it would only have 1 face. If you mean edges then it only has 1 edge.

    Phone is hard because of the lack of physical feedback and touch locating. I do ok in a pinch but it's a pain. Keyboard absolutely. I still remember the stupid orange plastic covers we had in school to force us to learn to touch type rather than looking at the keys.

    The hit boxes on phone screen keyboards change size as you type. Making the keys you're more likely to hit next bigger than those you're less likely to hit next. That coupled with autocorrect can allow one to type pretty well without looking, but if you're typing made up words or words it doesn't like then you could have some trouble. There is plenty of times when I try to click one button but it's clicking the one next to it instead.

    I think trigonometry is the perfect example of something taught in the standard curriculum to which our teachers exhort us to pay attention because it'll be "really important our entire lives", and which ultimately becomes entirely useless for like 75%+ of the population. Haven't had to concern myself with trig for 14 years now, and it's been blissful.

     

    That said, I always started with sine.

    The main point of school from prep - year 12 is to expose you to a lot of different topics and teach you several different ways to take in information in a lot of different forms and come up with ways to understand and process them. You might not remember how to do these things, but you do have the skill to teach yourself how to do it again and this knowledge has subconsciously helped you solve other problems that may look unrelated. School's main job is to teach you how to teach yourself

    You might need to re-teach us what these are, because I remember the names and doing calculations for these, but not what they are lmao

    Triangle stuff. Letting you calculate the length or angle of a triangle. HOA, hypotenuse, opposite, adjacent.

    Honestly I rarely use bandaids. If I am using one, and it hasn’t fallen off from getting wet, I have to remove it methodically or risk separating/redamaging w/e Im covering. 

    Sounds like you're taking it off too early
