It's because the software they use is not available. Put aside there are alternatives. There are not alternatives for some software. I would use Linux if Autodesk made Revit and AutoCAD for Linux.

I would venture to guess that kids know the difference between Mac and Windows and probably prefers one over the other.

...because I cannot run Revit on Apple or Linux.

He bought the domain 6 years ago. He clearly didn't buy it for Twitter.

Oh, my mistake. Sorry for the confusion.

I can't get Revit or AutoCAD on Linux, so no.

I've heard that peanut butter is mainly an American thing. What would be an alternative to peanut butter in other cultures to cut peanut allergies?

It's probably necessary to look up more specific info on one's local stuff to be sure that it's safe for babies and is actually made with peanuts, but peanut-based sauces and dressings are fairly widespread. Any place with major influence from south Asia or southeast Asia likely has some form of peanut chutney or satay sauce, for example.

I mean you can crush peanuts to powder and use however you want, just make sure to start with microscopic amounts and have strong anti-histamine at hand in case your kid is unlucky one like mine.

There are many legitimate journalists on the platform. Painting a broad-brush does a disservice to those that put a lot of effort into their reporting.

Here's a great response to how colleges can ensure diversity since this will likely get struck down.

Edit: TLTR: Dump standardized college admission tests as an admissions requirement, end legacy admissions and tap corporate activism.

Standardized tests are an opportunity for students to distinguish themselves no matter what school they're stuck in. Yes the wealthier students on average study more for the SAT, but anyone can study for it with widely available materials. UC Berkeley got rid of the SAT/ACT requirement and is making their own test instead; if other schools did this, having so many different tests would ironically favor those with the most resources.

And what's the alternative? There's not a lot else to go off of since GPAs are whatever.

"Ensuring diversity" is not a worthwhile goal for any institution.

> The fact that we get any Black students in under-resourced neighborhoods testing within 100 points of White students, who have been prepping for the test since the eighth grade, that is a miracle of over-performance

That is disgustingly, outrageously racist.

Could you elaborate?

Not the poster, but the implication is that all white students are highly privileged in well resourced school districts. It's not technically what was said, but I agree the implication is pretty strong and unreasonable. You can have other readings ofc.

Honestly the boundary between race/money/class/privilege is a pretty rough space to hang around.

Get your prostate checked.
