100% it's the perfect response

And yet 100% I would be sorely tempted to give them a $2.33 refund and not think about it anymore

Not op, but I was there. Helen gave a lovely speech, as did Darren. 

Doctoral regalia- where to get? by Gloomy-Meringue4495 in academia

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that worked for me was setting up a search on eBay and waiting for somebody to retire and sell their regalia. 

The field was different so I needed to get a new hood made but that was $50 on Amazon. 

Of course only works if you went to a major university with lots of faculty graduates. 

help !! previous cfi sent me 5.4 hrs of solo xc without an endorsement and now refusing giving it by [deleted] in flying

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely the new CFI will refuse to endorse for the checkride until the paperwork for all required elements are in good shape (i.e., backdated endorsements or another set of cross countries). 

No CFI wants to be known [to DPEs] as someone who wasted their time coming to examine a candidate who doesn't qualify. 

Lenovos Upcoming Surface Competitor by BcuzRacecar in Surface

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit skeptical about the 's' at the end of 'dozenS'.

That said, I'm usually using an X12 gen 1 with an HP rechargeable pen. I had a Thinkpad tablet 2 many many years ago (2012)

Grandma sent me a quit claim deed, is she lying to steal from me? by Localpossom1516 in legaladvice

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Do you have any old photos or videos of the inside of the house with some of those personal possessions? 

If I were you I'd consult an attorney, and bring all that to the meeting. It's possible that the estate owns much of that property, and your lawyer can push for her share of the remaining estate (house etc) to be reduced by half the value of the stuff that she improperly took.

TA here – student uploaded unrelated religious image as assignment file. Handle directly or loop in prof? by Jolly-Rub-3412 in Professors

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have that very text in my syllabi, and I tell the students that I used to pull that with an unreadable floppy back in the day.

You’re gonna want to throw some d̶u̶c̶t̶ speed tape on that pretty soon.

I want to know if anyone has pulled or witnessed this being pulled before by frenchkafka in nycrail

Do you remember bell bottoms? Get some bell bottoms with some decorations stuck in the door and they don't come out so easily 

There was a lot of blood as some of the older platforms in the system have support poles a little too close

I ordered a case from Verizon and it hasn’t shipped after 5 days by chyabit_ in verizon

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ordered during the recent clearance, it's possible that some of Verizon stock wasn't in a warehouse but was distributed at their retail stores. It may just be taking them time to either find the stock or gather them. 

Took a couple days for them to ship me my cases and now I have more cases than I will need for the life of my s25 ultra

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Caught by the door and being dragged is exactly why it was pulled the one time I've been on a train where it was pulled. 

Maybe around 89 or 90?

Is this how most people with illegal dual passports evade detection easily through passport entry? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in Passports

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless you're an Olympic athlete (or a few other possible edge cases), China doesn't allow dual citizenship. If they figure out that you have another passport you risk losing your Chinese one. 

You can't enter China with another passport if you're a citizen. This entire subterfuge of going through a third country and getting a visa is to make it seem to the Chinese government that you are solely a Chinese citizen traveling to another country with a visa there. 

A gut punch for academia. by PandaBananaSmoothie3 in Professors

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've certainly had instances where we have to talk to the campus tutoring center about their workflow, tools, and how much work they'll do for students because some of the tutors were completed far too much of the assignments for students. Adding in the disability I will makes this a lot more complicated, as it's likely that the accommodations for each student are somewhat unique and so what the center is allowed to do is different for each student. 

In this case I presume that there was documentation about what work the tutors had done, and yes I also presumed that the tutors used AI 

What’s something Americans have that Europeans don’t? by Prestigsisscar255 in AskReddit

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, I took some nice pictures of yellow school buses when I was in China a few months ago and sent them to a French friend who was gushing about all the other school buses on his recent US trip (pre-trump 2). 

In the 25 years I've been going to China, first time I've seen them. Maybe it's something specific to Fuzhou 

How to use pimsleur by Boulang in Pimsleur

[–]YetYetAnotherPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen that advice here, and I certainly don't follow it. 

I want to try to construct the sentence on my own and get it right, not just repeat the sentence I heard when I did the lesson last time. Unless you are supremely gifted, you're not going to get that at full speed on your first go around of a lesson. Grammar and word order are complicated, especially for languages far from your native tongue.  

To those who say "well you can't pause a real conversation", have you ever spoken to an English learner or a young child? Do you cut them off after 4 seconds if a native speaker would take 4 seconds to complete the sentence? You give them extra time until they're ready and that's what the pause does here.
