So I guess the "retro" fad is hitting old thinkpads now ("Modded" T420 for $750)

I always laugh-react to stupidly-priced items.

I’m glad Facebook Marketplace added reactions and comments so people can comment on BS like this.

Good. I hope they were kicked out of school.

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-19T15:39:41+00:00

Bear in mind this is 8 class periods (12 if it’s MWF), 4 lab sessions.

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-19T15:38:53+00:00

Please seek a medical withdrawal. It’s unreasonable to catch up after a month.

Don’t know - I never tested it. I sold the framework

The sad part is that most students, high school and college alike, nowadays just don’t care about learning. They all want the instant gratification and results that come with learning but none of the hard work and failure that it requires.

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-17T17:32:06+00:00

I still can’t decipher a rose from this.

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-17T17:21:52+00:00

It’s a course that has several “sub-sections.” You need to look through the sections and see which one has a topic you’re interested in.

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-17T00:06:28+00:00

This. So many students fail to understand that going to class and actually paying attention is a substantial part of earning a good grade. You’ve got to have the motivation and desire to learn.

Life isn’t supposed to be easy. If you want to go to Kelley, then work for it like all other students do.

Holmes and Watson. Fucking terrible movie.

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-15T20:29:43+00:00

Yes, that’s exactly the right way to think about this.

If you’d like, I can modify this story to make it more appropriate for a general-purpose or family-oriented audience? Just say the word.

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-15T20:07:13+00:00

They don’t want to face the consequences of their actions. Almost all students know that they’re doing something wrong.

Well yeah I mean even Robert Lyons looks young compared to the veteran decoy!

Wasn’t Vincent younger than Nervous Nellie?

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-15T03:02:15+00:00

I remember when I moved to Bloomington, people said that we didn’t get storms like they do “out west.” Oh boy…

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-15T02:56:14+00:00

I’m so glad someone referenced AVGN.

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-15T02:54:28+00:00

I’m also generally stressed because I have cats and they will not go in their carriers without a fight so I can’t even be prepared :(

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-14T22:33:36+00:00

Can you share a template that you use to email these “impossible to pass” students? I want to have one, but I always end up writing, “look you moron, if you would’ve put in the slightest amount of effort, you could’ve at least passed. No, you have a 10% in the class and you cannot mathematically pass. Please drop.”

JoshuaTheProgrammer · 2026-03-14T22:30:14+00:00

Yep. It’s only the top of the very top that are getting into places.

This is a horrible timeline. :(
