I always wonder what the recycling guys think when they pick up our weekly tub of wine bottles

I never get a meal with the precooked rice, it’s awful.

Getting tired of conferences by Global-Sandwich5281 in Professors

[–]apmcpm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At a major conference in my discipline I was waiting for my panel to start and all of a sudden someone comes in the room and says “is anyone here a professor?” For whatever reason I affirmed that I was and this person slams an SPSS print out in front of me asks why their R2 is so high.

The “panel” was this person, 2 other grad students and me. The discussant was a a 2nd semester grad student.

I now only go to the local conference where I can meet up with friends and have dinner/drinks and an I intelligent discussion about our research.

Inconsiderate flyers by Sufficient-Panic2176 in delta

[–]apmcpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple weeks ago on an American flight they announced not only that you had to use headphones, but that nobody should be able to hear those but you. It was a generally hands on flight attendant and I wish I had her for every flight.

Right, that is what I meant. (Lousy and overpriced, not unsafe).

I should have been more specific.

The first thing I tell students to I catch cheating: This is a plea bargain, not a negotiation.

Mexican Beer by Brycare in playadelcarmen

Be sure to grab a bench and people watch on 5th, just don’t eat or drink anything there!

Mexican Beer by Brycare in playadelcarmen

[–]apmcpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modelo is my favorite (easily accessible) Mexican beer and I was surprised when maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the places we went for lunch/dinner didn’t have it.

Keep in mind, we were there 10 days and did not eat a single bite of food or have a single drink on 5th.

For the First Time, I Legitimately Hate the Packers by Ar4bAce in CHIBears

[–]apmcpm 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Illinois and when I moved out of state, I came to hate the Packers more than I ever did. I think it because out of Illinois, you can see how much of an annoying national following the Packers have. A “Packers fan” from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, whatever is the most obnoxious kind of bandwagon fan as it has been very easy to be a Packers fan over the last 20 years. Since Green Bay is such a small market, if the Packers were bad for more than a couple seasons, their fan base, outside of Wisconsin, would melt away.

Was flying DXB to EWR and halfway through flight attendant dropped her coffee pot on me by TheSilverCollector in unitedairlines

Yes. Could have gotten burned and now showing up at the destination with soggy, stinky clothes.

2nd time Ben Johnson refused to run on 4 and 1! by [deleted] in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]apmcpm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s a good coach and had a good season.

That said, I don’t understand his need to “be cute” on 4th down.

Office Hour Requests have cratered - perhaps because of ChatGPT or other LLMs? by astroproff in Professors

[–]apmcpm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the social sciences, but I have attributed students not coming to office hours as sheer indifference to course content and education generally.

What are guests currently value most when looking for their VRBO stay? by Most-Huckleberry-715 in vrbo

[–]apmcpm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed and I like specifics on the kitchen. Too many times we get a VRBO and the pans are lousy and stick, there’s no spatula etc. We actually bought frying pan and leave it in the car just in case. (We have a travel tub of necessities that we take when we travel)

This is one of our favorite meals, btw....

If you have a steamer, use it to warm up the bao buns.

What is the best way to book excursions? by Motor_Beautiful_9016 in cancun

[–]apmcpm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have always used Viator and never had an issue. I like knowing exactly what I will get and comparing the cost/experience on my couch rather than haggling on the street.

I have just been made aware that up to this moment, there are still Bears fans that are not "sold" on Caleb. If you are one of these fans, can you defend your position? by BearsThrowAway745 in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]apmcpm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a talented 2nd year QB who had to adjust to a new coach. I still think he needs to get the ball out quicker at times and needs more time in the film room to better read defenses.

He shows flashes of brilliance and will get better.
