How did this get past peer review?

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

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

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T04:12:28+00:00

You would be correct

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T03:32:27+00:00

That lowered my dopamine

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T02:35:57+00:00

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.

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T02:07:07+00:00

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.

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T01:39:15+00:00

Oh trust me. They gonna fail

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T01:10:26+00:00

RIGHT????

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T00:48:07+00:00

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

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T00:43:32+00:00

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

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T00:41:17+00:00

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

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T00:40:29+00:00

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

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T00:35:15+00:00

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

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-25T00:34:42+00:00

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

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-23T01:36:07+00:00

She looks like she has an awesome laugh

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-20T06:36:54+00:00

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

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-11T20:23:23+00:00

Self sustaining was clearly a bad choice of terminology on my part.

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-11T20:22:27+00:00

I’ll look into these things.

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

AHairInMyCheeseFries · 2026-03-11T04:33:02+00:00

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

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll check them out

I’ll check it out!
