Glad to hear it, you had me worried with the roommate comment but from what you were saying a couple of years back it sounds like things have gotten a lot better.

Just got an email from a student asking me for the linear regression equation.

These are science majors, y'all. Science majors.

We're so fucked.

It's just an extremely simple math thing -- like, beginning algebra -- that absolutely everyone is supposed to know how to do before starting the first term of Principles.

It's now the second term.

I had one email me because the lab write up calls for four tables, but she only had three  tables. That is because she failed to recognize the first table, which is helpfully captioned "Table 1" and contains the experimental design.

Let me repeat that: IT CONTAINS THE EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN. She literally could not have conducted the experiment without it.

Also, being that far in they should know how to look it up. I literally forgot what linear regression was, knew I should know it, and simply used the internet to get me to the wikipedia article on how to do linear regression.

I just had a ridiculously attractive woman (think female version of the Dos Equis guy) tell me that I was "Food Rambo".

I think that might be the highest compliment anyone has ever paid me.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Oh yeah, unflounced. Thank/blame Roger. And don't even think of talking to me about it.

Thanks Roger, you take subsequent blame for this. And don't even think of talking about it.
