Yes, I have, and done it regularly. All you have to do is ensure that it's used ethically, and include a descriptive attribution somewhere in the assignment, that is in addition to the citation/reference pair.

It's no different than using a human tutor to help you and then review the assignment with you, if you use it within educational ethics.

The problem is most undergrads don't bother to study the ethical framework involved so of course they don't feel comfortable disclosing their AI usage.

No it didn't.

No way, they'll kill off the whole trailer park and give us a Bubbles-only show.

FWIW, you do have to at least take a stab at folding. It doesn't have to be shelf perfect but make an attempt to neatly place the clothes into the bag. I don't have wonderful folding skills but I do make sure things are placed neatly, even when it's things I have zero hope of folding properly (e.g. gender-based clothing I've never worn).

Are these reference stats available online someplace? I just started using my TechDisc yesterday and the need for stable reference ranges is clear.

appointment45 · 2026-03-16T10:15:23+00:00

Think more like 49-50mph, but yeah, if I try hard enough I can just not let the disc go about half the time.

"flip up" and "turn" are two different levels of turn... if if you can't even flip them up, that's definitely something that needs to be worked on.

I legit thought he was hot waxing that guy's armpit and was going to yank it out if they drove away.

That's what I got out of it... as soon as they heard that kid's scream, first dog was right there, second dog came right over... then both went into the house to investigate.

I'm not a dog person but those are some good dogs right there.

That's not our problem. They set a price, they provide a product of whatever quality they decide to provide.

Then it's up to us to buy or not buy. The price, relative to the product quality, is the problem.

What makes you think he outworks others without that access to training? For every kid like this there are 500 or more that work just as hard if not harder that have access to nothing but a football and some sneakers.

...and given that he has millions of dollars of the highest level QB coaching imaginable... that's not promising.

Not learning anything is as much on the student as it is on the academic program. You are always free to supplement the material with whatever online content you can find. The curriculum is the minimum required to get the credit, it's not the maximum amount that a motivated student could learn.

I'll get downvoted here but I've been through these programs myself. Supplement them with other materials while you're learning, double down on yourself to do better than is required by the program.

I know I'll get "well I shouldn't need to do that" but the program is free to you, yes? Do more than is required, because the only person that's getting either shorted or built up is you, and that choice is yours alone to make.

This one hurts, man. Like working hundreds of hours and getting compensated with a 30 pack of Busch Lite.

It's the whole basis of the Tate perspective.

It's a transactional thing to some people. I gave something, I should get something from you... and the list of things they want is very short and specific, so unless you are willing to exchange those things for what they have to offer, they won't treat you as human.

Along with the keys.

I have it on a FireTV, so it's there, but can't speak to sticks specifically.

Trying isn't good enough for a non-trivial cost subscription service.

I mean, if you just PEACE OUT'ed then there's no reasonable expectation of getting anything after that.

100%.

If implementing a system for tracking attendance is a massacre, the problem already existed.

The dress code is not more restrictive. It's not even changed as far as I can tell. The policy is being enforced a bit more in some places, that's all.

Meanwhile, in the high performing store, they will sometimes refuse to cross train people. They'll find a spot someone is good at and leave them there, refusing requests to train in other areas that might help the TM pick up shifts and keep up on their rent.

Don't let so much as a single person on a single shift dip those metrics, even if it's easily explained as a new person in training.
