I have seen people use the name "death-less meat" Not an eye-catching name I know. But much better than "green meat". We need a Steve Jobs of lab-grown meat to light the world on fire.

Someone else mentioned "synthetic meat" recently too. I think "death-less" has the same problem: It's descriptive, but it's not good marketing. You don't want to be associated with words like "death" or "synthetic" when positive associations are more with words like "natural". Marketing is all about emotions, so I think we need something that works for people who don't want to think too much about it and just need a good word to refer to it. I think that eventualy, long enough after a transition, it'll simply go back to "meat", but when both are available, something is needed.

"In school, you learn on someone else's schedule because you have to to pass a test, so you do whatever you have to to get that grade, but may not truly learn much, understand, or retain for long. A lot of it is more about “guessing the teacher’s password” than learning something well enough that you could teach it to someone else who doesn’t know it."

As someone who spent a quarter-century teaching finance classes, this was always a big hurdle. There were a few students who would buy in to the concept, but most (and I was the same way when I was in their shoes, so not criticizing) recognize that their GPA is essential for scholarships, job offers, grad school, etc. Learning for grades and learning because you want to understand something are two very different things. Now we need to figure out how to motivate for the latter.

It's a difficult problem, there's no easy answer..

But I do feel like more focus should be put on meta-skills and just instilling the love of learning, the persistence to get through problems, the curiosity to look for answers, etc. That kind of stuff takes you far.

Just in case you need to leg out a few more cycles of the AirPods. Mine are two years old and this helped even with connectivity 🤷‍♂️ https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/8splqe/one_airpod_was_louder_than_the_other_sucking_on/

Wow. In my case volume is fine when it works, but sometimes the left side just fully disconnects and won't connect again for many tries, and then randomly works but then dies again.

Feels like probably the battery having had too many charge cycles and not being able to provide full voltage.
