I remember when I got it and was like "Well, guess I'm never taking this thing to campus"

Yeah I barely even looked at mine. I had to buy it in order to get access to the online site for assignments but otherwise I just used the lecture notes.

my SO just asked how induction stoves worked, and I went and whipped out that sucker, looked up induction. It was kind of fun to go there instead of the internet!

I read some of Henry Rollins's writing recently, and this passage made me ache.

This was beautiful, thank you for sharing it. I did not have "Feeling less alone because an internet stranger shared a Henry Rollins quote on Lemmy" on my agenda this evening, but here we are.
