    I prepped a comparison of two phone plans where one had a higher base fee and lower per minute fee than the other to teach linear functions and systems of equations. It took way too long to explain what I was on about. Mistakes were made. They also didn’t believe how much time we used to spend talking on the phone.

      Swap it with a comparison of Uber and Lyft base rate+mile charges and I bet they’d understand.

      Lol, how long ago was that? Kids these days talk just as much, just not via a phone call. Discord is just how it happens. I figure if you put it into the context of a cellular data plan it might work out better, but even then a lot of those are “unlimited” now

        That was two weeks ago lmao

        I guess these kids just didn’t? They text instead.
