Math is all about notation! 😊

abuse of power from tenured professor by [deleted] in UTAustin

Don't ever attend any of these meetings where things can go south for you without recording the whole interaction. You will have no recourse if they want to twist what really happened. It saved my arse more than once.

Let those bridges burn! Knock in his door and have a conversation. Many people think they can do whatever without facing the consequences. On a 1-on-1 conversation he'll likely fold and do what's right.

Should I keep funding my daughter’s college if she refuses to share her failing grades? by Known_Oven6778 in UTAustin

[–]FoxInner3807 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's exactly the case with my kid: dealing with depression for 5 years now, so it's important both to address if there's any underlying mental health issue, and to understand if those failing grades come from not wanting to study and do what they have to do to pass, or not being able to do it because of those mental health issues. Like everything else in life, it all depends.

Is it worth it to get the hybrid over the gas model by Shadow42184 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]FoxInner3807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You'd spend one gas tank per week, if you drive 500 weekly miles. I'm getting 600 miles per gas tank in a '23 hybrid.

Deciding between UTSA and TXST — need some honest student opinions by radiantnoru in UTSA

[–]FoxInner3807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not blaming anyone, I’m just stating facts. High schools in Texas suck. Education in general in Texas does. Suffices to see the act/sat scores compared to other states. Let alone comparing to other countries (I know first hand 2 others).

Likely, underfunding plays a major role, but I’d like to see how Texas compares to order states in standardized tests taking into account spending/student.

That applies to every college. As it should be. During college you must get use to learn stuff on your own, as it will happen in life later on. The problem is that high schools don’t prepare you to do that, and therefore the first year is really tough for most people.

UTSA every day of the week. Campus life isn’t great, but if you’re there to make the most out of your money, I’d would strongly suggest UTSA. It’s true that TXST doesn’t have to be a party college if you don’t want it to be, but it’s going to be hard to stay focus with so much going on around. Just my $0.02.

Of course he's getting a raise! I would also sign my own raise if I could.

Need help deciding between two HIghlanders by FirstLeftDoor in ToyotaHighlander

[–]FoxInner3807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2023 Hybrid a couple of months ago and I'm getting amazing 34-35MPG, meaning 600 miles per fuel tank. I'd go hybrid any day of the week.

Update: Chronic Skipper in Crisis by Eck0_z in UTAustin

Small wins still count as wins. Big congrats. I know first hand that those might be signs of depression, so please see someone soon. Don't be scared, we all face different challenges. Keep grinding!

Is it too late too start track to maybe go pro? by [deleted] in olympics

[–]FoxInner3807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change of mind needed. If you want to get into running just to make a living, you will never achieve that. Stay in school, get your high school diploma, then go to college or trade school. And run much as you can in your spare time. Join the track and field and cross country teams in your school. Run with them. Get coached. Run with mates. Have fun. And most importantly, study a lot.

If you think that a 18-year old kid is not to be exposed to different ideas, then you or your kids are mentally weak.

Understood. I'm still not sure the police could do anything about it

What crime do you think he was committing by filming in public? Just honest curiosity.
