Not really wrong, but on reading it is easy to fake. Usually just retelling in some form what the teacher said will do the trick. (That approach also works later in life, unfortunately...) On a math question, if you do not understand it, you do not get the result in most cases.

Now, actual reading comprehension where you have to give an informed and insightful analysis and then takle a position and justify that rationally. Yes. But from my experience, you need an exceptional teacher for that to happen in school.

Could you end up with trying to install a not-so-great distro on a machine that has some unusual hardware? And have to take a dive into stuff? Sure. But that is the exception, not the rule, at least not in 2025.

And, to be fair, I've had friends and co-workers run into that sort of thing on Windows. Quite a lot.

Pesky facts.
Maybe try #followthescience?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/i...
"Just a small percentage of the hundreds of thousands of migrants processed by the U.S. this year have received COVID-19 vaccinations while in federal custody, and half of them are unaccompanied children" - a few hundred k out of 1.6 million over the reported span

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/a...
"The RIM community has (statistically significantly) lower vaccination coverage when compared to those born in the US."

(Japan) https://www.sciencedirect.com/...

https://www.thegazette.com/gov... This one tries hard to disprove it, the best they can get is "While vaccination rates appear to be low among migrants and asylum-seekers, data shows few are actually crossing the border and making their way into the United States" - in 2021, which would suggest that the tidal fucking wave of immigrants in the later Biden 'open border' phase were actually a big issue because then they very much WERE 'making their way into the US'.

Ah syntax is so hard for leftists.

Justification doesn't imply constraint, duh?

(The need for a militia is important so) the right to have guns shall not be limited.

Nothing in there implies that guns are limited to official militias, not even slightly.
If you STILL insist on your dumbass interpretation, fine: every adult male in the US is the militia, by law.:
US Code Sec 246:
The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia areâ"
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

So even if your ridiculous interpretation is correct, all males in the US under 45 are "the militia" so if gun ownership is 'restricted' to the militia, that's every man under 45. Satisfied?

You think $70million for some meeting rooms is reasonable? Can I sell you a bridge?
It was actually a HALF $BILLION capital campaign.

https://www.minnpost.com/polit...
In fact that campaign was for both the student center AND a new 'training center' (not a stadium, but close) and the training center was 2x the cost, about 1.5x the size.

I *also* think that was ridiculous.

No, he chose war in Europe, this is the next step for putin. You didn't really think the ruzzian murderers that make up their armed forces will be allowed to return back to the motherland alive, did you? The next target is Estonia or Latvia, then Poland and the rest will follow. Regardless what anyone thinks, ruzzia has learned to fight the next type of war and nobody is ready for this except for one nation, that is holding the orcs - Ukraine.
