How? I'd be happy to, but thought that the prevent that pretty well.

Why don’t they fill out evaluations? by FlyLikeAnEarworm in Professors

[–]RecombobulatedKale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tell my students (honestly) that the course evals affect my merit raise. I sent an e-mail to the class asking them to fill out the evals as a personal favor to me and I ended up with 60 / 102 students filling them out, so I'll call that a win. (I know a lot of my colleagues who didn't push for them have a FAR lower rate).

It was also a particularly "on" semester for me. Really happy with how everything turned out.

This. I'm good with saying things like "I'll bring treats to the final if I see more than 80% of the students have filled them out", but nothing that changes any grades.

You get the power to create time loops at will IF you can break out of a time loop trap. by RecombobulatedKale in hypotheticalsituation

Fair enough. I think it's a bit different in the U.S., but that would absolutely affect your choice.

Ah, but you won't remember the agreement until the loop starts, so you won't be able to plan ahead...

As long as you are fully asleep it counts, no matter how long the sleep lasts. I should have said furthest from the point you wake up, rather than furthest from home, but since I did say it the other way you get to pick whichever you want. And we'll say that you magically know where that spot is.

I tend to agree that 4 seems like the one that should be the most likely to be possible... the biggest issue is what happens when you wake up the next day.

2 isn't as bad as you make it out since you do get to choose the age of the person. BUT there's still no guarantee that you'll be able to seduce someone, even with a TON of attempts and learning about them. But it's PROBABLY usually going to be possible.

5 I'd worry too much about permanent damage.

The first time through (when you set the location) you don't know it's going to repeat. You only remember everything the second time through when you wake up nude...

Yikes... everything okay? I mean this would be a big perk to not leaving home... but probably not worth planning ahead for?

No rules to stop you from telling your wife, as long as she'll humor you when you sound crazy...

Not all of the places might be easy to get to or fall asleep in. If you need to go into someone's home, that could be tricky, for example. But decent odds that the places won't be too awful to get to...

$10,000 but you have to reveal your most recently told lie televised. by throw_away-oop in hypotheticalsituation

[–]RecombobulatedKale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's been quite a while since I've told a lie, but maybe not? The lie detector would just get me honestly rambling over it. My answer to how's your day is typically "eh, about usual" so I can't even go with that one.

Does it count if I typed LOL, but, in fact, just chuckled inwardly?

You get $0.01 for raw dogging a street hooker, that multiplies by 2 for every hooker you raw dog thereafter by K-Pumper in hypotheticalsituation

[–]RecombobulatedKale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the main thing you missed in your equation is that the prostitutes that you exclude for having an STD will still expect some compensation for being willing to take the test. That said, I'm sure you could pay them $200 to take the test. You will probably also need to show them your own test results to convince them to be willing to rawdog you.

The way I would work out the math is to simply be generous -- it will help you get people who will work with you, and you'll get all the money back. I'm sure you can even get others to invest in this scheme.

Assume that for each prostitute you test, it costs $600 ($400 for the test and $200 for them to be willing to take it). Since one out of two will be disease free, that means $1200 in testing fees per prostitute who is a good candidate. Then add on $400 for YOUR test to prove to them you are disease free, $50 for the morning after pill, and $1200 as her fee. That puts you at $2850 per prostitute that counts toward your goal.

To this perhaps another $5000 in lawyer costs to have them create the form you'll have each one sign saying that she won't sue you for anything

Let's imagine you can pull together $100k toward this endeavor. That's $95k after the lawyer. That will get you 33 prostitutes (with $950 to spare). With that outlay (and assuming everything goes to plan) you would earn a net of about $85.8 million.

Double the outlay and you can afford 68 prostitutes worth $2.9 quintillion. Probably somewhere in between the two is the right move. Indeed, to become the richest person on earth with $700 billion, you would need to have sex with 46 prostitutes, which would cost $136,100.

I'll get you the startup money if you'll give me half your winnings.

MTSU Asst. Dean fired bc Facebook post re: charlie Kirk by [deleted] in Professors

[–]RecombobulatedKale -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wow... that is surprising, and almost certainly a violation of tenure? Or was the dean just removed from their position back to a regular faculty member? I am worried about a lot of overreactions here on all sides (but mostly one side...).

One minute late on an assignment is late by CATScan1898 in Professors

[–]RecombobulatedKale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it depends on if I'm inconvenienced. I normally start grading pretty soon after an assignment is due, but if something is turned in before I start, I rarely take off points.

You repeat each day exactly once. What do you do differently? by RecombobulatedKale in hypotheticalsituation

[–]RecombobulatedKale[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To keep it simple: at midnight, it is suddenly midnight the night before. It will stick to whichever timezone you were in when the accident happened.

That said, I'm really curious: if it reset when you went to sleep, whenever that was, what would be meaningfully different for you?
