@compoundchem Kids ask at school all the time, why are them called Bunsen burners. I always replied Mrs Bunsen invented them but Mr Bunsen got the credit. I guess know I actually know.
@Alecto OMG. Want one.

@benpatrickwill.bsky.social We have all the students write on one Google doc and use Revision History extension to watch for this... Once a week I skim and watch the replay video of what my students do. Time consuming but this would make it easier.

@skeletor Made me go to the gym when I was scrolling and thinking about not going...
I have info on a USB, a PC and now a cloud. The USB is my working base. I udate files on there daily. Is there a way to sync a USB to a cloud? With PC when I copy-paste it is mostly OK as I get the "this file already exists do you want to override it" message, but is there a sync? Cloud is in 2 places, KDrive (infomaniak) and Filen. #BackUp #Cloud #DataSync #Question
