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.

So, she had a beard?

Old enough to have arm-wrestled Fidel Castro when it would've been a fair fight?

No idea what any of that means but it sounds bad  :cry:

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.

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.

Yeah, that's the amazing thing. She should have been able, at the very least, to look it up.

I had another student just not do part of his homework, because he couldn't find the email I sent to the whole class about class data a week before the assignment was due. Most likely because it was in his junk mail folder. The part that is a head-scratcher for me is that he didn't look in his junk mail folder or email me asking about it; he just skipped it, and left a note in its place explaining that he couldn't do it because he never got the email.

Yeah, no. You don't get points for "I didn't try".

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

Glad you're back, for whatever reason.

I'm sorry to have disappeared after reappearing (and even posting the quotes from Feyerabend, must look into that), suddenly got very busy, still am, but it's subsiding. I hope it's alright to post a video here, heard this yesterday, never heard of the guy before, but this song is positively Discordian to my mind... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zD1WveH3xI

Looks like the dog is on it's last legs.

Well, shit.

Sorry to hear that. I had to put one down a few months ago. Still having weird dreams about it from time to time.

So I don't have a lot of friends. Can't be arsed with most people. Probably less than a dozen on this stupid planet I give a flying fuck about. Last night one of them killed himself.

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

Yeah, I'll be okay. Fuck all else for it. Derek quit. Sure he had his reasons. Two surviving musketeers gonna hook up this weekend, fall off the wagon and maybe punch the crap out a pub or two in his honour. He was a good guy stuck in a shit life. He'll be missed.

Fair enough. Everyone has their limit, sad as it is. Make a mark or two in his name!

Also, just rewatched the Phantom of the Opera 2004 movie. At the end I sobbed like a baby. An ugly, ugly baby.
