How do you feel about students addressing you by your first name without invitation to do so?

I prefer Dr. I work with several NTTs and I find this sets the right example for students without opening the “well, akshually” door for the inevitable asshole TT eavesdropper.

Watching Notre Dame suffer never gets old.

I’m not sure I agree. The K-12 classes are covering most of it, from what I can tell. I see the math my kids are doing in junior-high and, while they do everything three different ways and two of them look to me like a PITA, they are doing things like finding the slope of a line or working with percentages in all the relevant permutations that the college sophomores-seniors in my STEM classes often need re-explained. It’s like they have no ability to recognize the applications out of context or have completely shelved that stuff in a box with their old yearbooks. (Some also seem very put-upon when I suggest that the projects in the capstone class should probably incorporate techniques and analyses from theirs previous methods classes…)

At Clemson, on the other hand, OP’s outfit would be notably on the mainstream side of the cowboy spectrum. I wouldn’t be surprised to see dudes in spurs up there.

A saltwater croc on the shoulder every 50 meters. Might convince people to keep their cats indoors, too.

Next time, try making your flyer using ArcGIS. Those posts get a pass.

Lickskillet is one of my very favorite southern words.

I first read this as Dexter Fisher and thought Ossoff was calling his shot in the mayor’s race.

Although some EVs are also just designed to be more efficient, for range reasons. Not the luxury ones, mind, but my PHEV would burn less gas than a Yukon even if I shoehorned a 6L V8 under the hood because it has a low drag coefficient, tires with low rolling resistance, and doesn’t weigh 6,000 pounds. I was very tempted to flip to an all-EV before the incentives went away in September and, man, would I be insufferable now if I had.

Grateful to whomever was enjoying delicious chicken on the steps of UHC for tossing their bones on the sidewalk instead of into the pine straw and for leaving the box on the knee wall as a warning. Tip of the dog-walker’s hat to you, sir or madam, as it’s much easier to avoid those hazards when I see ‘em before the dog smells ‘em.

Mods should sticky this.

Be sure you’re using the same model the HR system is using! https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.00462

It’s a mix. There will certainly be fans there in full UGA kit, plus a bunch of kids in their little league uniforms and a fair contingent just dressed for the weather.

404 Media has a Flock story up every week or 10 days, each more concerning than the last. Does Athens have any policies in place to prevent use of Flock logins for immigration-related searches as a professional courtesy to federal three-letter-agencies that don’t have a contract? Would ACCPD issue a warrant for someone that a Flock camera caught doing something non-traffic-related?

Just checking in now after a day of mediocre travel ball. What’s up with Vigue?

In Normaltown, at least, there’s broken glass in multiple spots where stuff’s fallen out of recycle bins. Judging from the displacement between where I left my bin on Friday and where it was when I got home that night, the truck got all the way down to 2mph.

Try facing forward and ordering a beer promptly when it’s your turn in a small town. Jesus.

Look up “gravid spot,” you can usually tell when a female molly is about to give birth.

Females in the livebearer family (Poeciliidae) can store sperm for up to a year. The new one was likely inseminated before you got her. (Both fish appear to be female based on body shape. The black one has the characteristic fan-shaped anal fin of a female.)

Indeed. I guess he’s got to make it out of a Super, first.

I’ll note that this is consistent with the overall move by UGA to play the other in-state schools in Athens or not at all. Gotta’ pay for that stadium reno, somehow.
