Fry boxes at fast food places are good too, if they haven't broken them down yet

Yeah, I learned young about how "unreliable" Wikipedia was. It took me until college though to learn the sources under the info were legit and even considered scholarly.

This! Even as a history major this was majorly overlooked. It wasn't until I watched a seminar for my internship that I found out how many primary sources are buried and just cited as secondary sources instead. It definitely makes research for future historians, as well as people casually researching, very confusing.

As some people also stated, I definitely wasn't taught this in 9th grade. But I mean it's been a few years since high school. Even my community college didn't really teach about using scholarly sources.

I was in the history department so research was kinda a big deal to us. However, other departments couldn't care less. I took a law class for my minor and the professor said he didn't care what we used for citations as long as at least one of them was from his own writings (which he so graciously provided and never bragged about 🙄). Junior and Senior level students were citing Wikipedia and random YouTube videos with absolutely no sources. Blew my mind.
I also had to teach my roommate how to find primary sources because she was a social work major and they just never thought to teach that to them.

Any college that doesn't have classes for students to be taught how to research and cite sources is pretty poor.

> Get an FM transmitter or cassette deck adapter to connect your phone to if you have an old car.
This is the answer. I drive a 20+ year old truck and the FM transmitters work great. Just see if you can find one with a power switch so you don’t have to keep plugging and unplugging.

Get a cleaner to come and vacuum, mop, clean bathroom and kitchen etc once every two weeks. Takes some of the load of her and lots of the bother off you, while showing you do care.

Either that or become a tidy minded person, binge watch mary kondo, just put shit away. The other choice is way easier.

That's really helpful advice! It's important to make sure that the sources you are using are reliable and credible. It's also good to be aware of the resources available and how to use them. Thanks for sharing!

What's the difference? We all know you didn't find the primary source yourself. Just cite the exact revision of the Wikipedia article (they store them forever)
