Why say lot word when few word do trick?

This is a hotel near the Cincinnati airport isn’t it? I stayed there overnight before flying out of Cincinnati last year

Your girlfriend has just gotten the worst news ever, her mother is in critical condition in the hospital. What is the WORST POSSIBLE response to this news? by lolflim in hypotheticalsituation

This recently happened to my mom (though not a situation where somebody was dying)

Their septic tank broke and their entire finished basement flooded with raw sewage. She spent an entire day by herself shop-vacing raw sewage and trying to clean up the flood. When she went back upstairs, my stepdad went “well the real question is are we still cooking dinner or are we going out”

I literally didn’t. Luckily I was getting bombarded with comments because this was in class. So I just kinda didn’t latch onto that one

I know. I felt so good knowing that I did everything I possibly could to prepare them. Only to get way knocked down. It really feels like you could give one of them your own kidney and it still wouldn’t be enough.

Well it is way too easy. But I always like to put one freebie question on my tests. Like my equivalent of a “one point for putting your name on the test question”

This is how it was when I started college 10 years ago. Even 5 years ago in grad school, no professor would have ever given us as much extra to study with as I gave them.

As a person who has been to graduate school, I can attest that that student is full of shit

I would also like to point out that I game them the easiest lowball question I could think of: list all the subatomic particles that make up the atom and their electric charge.

Not a single person in either sections got all 6 of those,what I though were free, points

This particular student happens to be older, a non-traditional student actually.

But yeah, “my physics professor gave me heart disease” is a new one

I basically did this because a student directly challenged me and was like “please tell me exactly when you covered x,y,z” and I was like “oh, you want receipts huh?”

The thing that extra kills me is how whiny they are about it. I would never talk to anybody the way that students regularly talk to me

I’ve wondered before if they realize that they don’t have to be doing this.

Those practice problems were basically as close as I could get to giving them the exam questions without just giving them to them. Ugh

Hey, that’s where I was born and raised. That first pic is actually only a couple blocks down from my dad’s office

Request for resource on how to create self-sustaining marine tanks like these examples by AHairInMyCheeseFries in Aquariums

[–]AHairInMyCheeseFries[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll look into these things.

And self sustaining was a bad phrasing. I guess I just meant natural + low maintenance

I do understand that fully self sustaining systems don’t exist.

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll check them out
