    I kept a seperate speeadsheet and let my students know the site's grades were a reference and a lower bound for their grade (mostly because I was too lazy to figure out how to do the max of multiple rubrics).

    There I am in removedloo, city of magic, city of light. Ensconced upon my porch in broad daylight, ‘round about noon, my rising time. Drinking something of a potable beverage, playing my guitar, long after everybody in the neighborhood has packed up their lunch box and gone off down to Kaiser Aluminum to put in their shift.

    This enrages my neighbors. One in particular across the road, a little retired banker fellah, been known to cannonball his rotundity across the road, stand there and publicly berate me for my sloth and indolence. “Why don’t you get a job!” He says, well now you’ve heard about all that.

    Well now me being hip to the Socratic method, fires back a question. "Why?”

    “Why” he says, taken aback “If you had a job you could make three, four, five dollars an hour”

    I said “Why?” pursuing the same tact.

    He said “Hell! You make three, four, five dollars an hour you could have a savings account to save up some of that money”

    I said “Why?”

    He said “Well, you save up enough of that money, young fellah, and pretty soon you never have to work another day in your life”

    I said “Hell, that’s what I’m doing right now!”

    Pickled vegetables get to just chill all day in vinegar. Kind of envy them.

    So much of twitter now is just replies to a very normal post with "he did the meme!" Then the most inscrutible drawing on earth from a discord with like 7 fascist teens. It's not a meme it's just something a buch of weird nerds say to eachother repeatedly.

    The reason people miss CRTs is that the little electron gun inside would make "pew pew" sounds.

    That annoying manager you have that gives you feedback without ever listening to what you said or reading your work? Bezos is probably like that just richer.

    Lol i love constructing this like it's some brilliant example of leadership when in reality Bezos probably just doesn't care and does not like reading anything longer than a few bullet points.

    It's a way of writing arithmetic expressions which technically makes it unambiguous without the use of parentheses. It sometimes gets taught in courses which use one of the functional programming languages (like lisp or scheme).
