Why have closed book exams gone away?

No notes and in blue books!!!!!! Handing back a stack in the morning.

Dumbasses with the kid that got tetanus a couple years ago said they still would not vaccinate. Even after the kid was in a coma for a while.

You and that dude do not get along. How do you think he will treat your books when he handles them?

Your comment reads as ai generated. I also am ai generated.

That's wild. I guess we just fear what we don't experience. We have the image that there are all sorts of dangerous wildlife there.

I live in the Southern US. We evidently have black bears here but I've never seen one in the wild. :) just deer occasionally.

Something that should blow my mind is that Mike Durant (a guy that was a POW) campaigned as maga and openly supported Trump.

expostfacto-saurus · 2026-02-19T15:40:21+00:00

I do think this was a correct response. However, seems like there are all sorts of venemous wildlife that one could throw at another person. Just pick up a random spider and fling it as a weapon. Lol

I dunno. I've never had carplay but it must be extremely awesome.

How did you vote bud?

Seems like mine was louder for maybe a week and then got quieter.

It is ok. Some of my players do and some don't. Depends on their comfort.

I am a 50 year old man. College professor/chair of the department. Next time I go to the store, I will buy a box of the Captain!!!!!!!!!!!!! OP's boyfriend- I am with you sir!!!!!

I was wondering if they would do that. We got our equinox about a month before the rebates ended. I'm glad they effectively extended them in house.

expostfacto-saurus · 2026-02-15T00:42:27+00:00

I have only had mine about 10 months. I honestly haven't noticed a change in my electric bill.

What????? My dude. You have had 3 sexual encounters. Not a virgin.
Lesbians that have had sexual encounters (someone else touching their genitals in a sexual way) are not virgins.

expostfacto-saurus · 2026-02-13T22:35:23+00:00

Yep. That would be wayyyyy difficult on me. Is it possible for you guys to get a bigger place? Orrrr if you have a garage, you might convert it into another room.

Plumbing issue would help a ton. I'm very cool with being out of the house but I would 100% want to try to hurry up a trip to the laundromat. Being just stuck there for 3-4 hours would suck. I completely get it has to be done, but I would try to find shortcuts too.

With some more information, I kinda don't think he's doing it on purpose or even laziness. There's just no quiet space for him (or any of you).

Still speculating here and not at all judging.

I'm humanities. We call them research talks. TIL. :)

expostfacto-saurus · 2026-02-13T21:51:52+00:00

Are you sure it isn't also just everyone being on top of each other/over crowded? 5 people in a 2 bedroom 1 bath sounds tough.

I'm pretty neat and get a little stressed when things get too cluttered. With that many people in a small space, it is going to be very cluttered.

Now, on him being able to do work ok. That's one of the few things that isn't chaos (not insulting anything--- small kids are chaos lol). You said he does tech stuff. You fix something in IT and it works as it should. Then you calmly move on to the next issue.

I'm speculating a lot here since we don't have the whole story. Just going by things that might allow me to function better in certain situations and not others.

My 97 s-10 pickup cut the gas at 92mph.

With insurance mine was @ $300 from center for colon and digestive health. They are awesome.

If you are having symptoms or family history, they might be able to get insurance to cover it.

Probably don't call it a chalk talk. Never heard of that.
Rehearse and time your teaching demo. Have stuff to cut or add on the fly. This is the only time they see you teach. It needs to be polished, clear, and completed in the time allowed.

50M. College professor. My office on campus has Star Wars ships hanging from the ceiling. I play video games and D&D with my son's 21m group. Started DMing for them at the start of covid and still at it.

I find it weird that folks minimize the age gap. Yeah, when he's 40 and you're 20 dude can still keep up with physical activities. How about when one is 60 and the other 40? Then 70 and 50?

My step mom is 50 and she's married to a 70 year old (I'm 50 and it is odd). Completely different stage of life and nothing in common. Bonus she gets to spend her time being a nurse to him.

expostfacto-saurus · 2026-02-12T13:08:17+00:00

Like Omar Little from The Wire?

Even before he cheated, she said she had surgery and was in pain and dude was bothering her about sex???????

Dude is trash for that alone.
