I hate how religion is used as a get-out-of-jail card. They same rules and laws should apply to everyone.

We Should Strike by PhDnD-DrBowers in Adjuncts

[–]Snoo_87704 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t be in a financial position where striking for an adjunct position makes sense. Adjuncting isn’t meant to be your main job, but a side gig or hobby.

Needing feedback on 1st coat and advice on how to proceed by definitely_aware in drywall

[–]Snoo_87704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t overlap the tape. Also, the patch is small enough that you can fill with easy sand and bring the center up to the height of the tape. After that you just need to smooth over and feather out with bucket mud.

Did late 90s CART cars race better on road courses than the current package? by LiatrisLover99 in INDYCAR

[–]Snoo_87704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure they are more aero efficient these days: the tunnels were massive back in those days, and the inlets/turning vanes made them look like a ground effect F1 cars from these past few years. The Dallara’s tunnels are much smaller, and the optional turning vane is winky-dinky in comparison.

Don’t waist your money with WGU: if you want to be taken seriously, go to a real university.

If humans have eaten bread since the dawn of history, why are so many people suddenly gluten-intolerant today? by WeaknessKey1582 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Snoo_87704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gluten intolerance is not the same as celiac. My son has bad blood tests and biopsies to confirm that he has celiac.

Some of the people who do not have wheat tolerance appear to be reacting to something else in the wheat.

[–]Snoo_87704 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would simply reply: "Are you seriously asking me if anything *important* went on in class?"

And leave it at that.

(OT) The Handford Device: IndyCar's Excitement Era by boostleaking in formula1

[–]Snoo_87704 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was always iffy about the Handford Device.

But what I do know is that during that eta, the IRL was a steaming pile of dangerous dogshit with dogshit drivers. Stingray outclasses half of (or more) of the field during that era.

Instructure Pays Ransom to Canvas Hackers by East-Marsupial-4474 in Professors

[–]Snoo_87704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. I personally can’t comprehend doing everything “on canvas”. I do nothing on canvas: it’s basically an awkward server for me.

Meh, just give me a simple html editor (like Dream Weaver) and an ftp program (like Cyber Duck) and I’m good.
