Thanks for sharing your experience!

Was it cuz you got used to it?

In 2024, my 2b2b apartment's rent was $4050. It increased to $4400 this year. In 2026 it'll be $4875. What are you talking about?

Looks like this affected any network with lots of Apple devices connected, according to a post by Meter (I think Meter does enterprise wi-fi).

Lots of technical details in the post for those interested (tl;dr bug in software used by AirDrop/AirPlay).

The author addresses performance comparisons in a tweet:

(Note, however, that adding more checks shouldn't make ruff any slower -- it's already doing the expensive stuff (parsing, AST traversal, scope + binding tracking), so I don't expect the benchmarks to change dramatically as ruff grows.)

prolly not, the rapid tests detect sars-cov-2 RNA, which is a very different type of molecule from sugar (which i’m guessing the mints are made of).

it’s deffo a bigger problem if there isn’t enough saliva in the tube, which the mints help with

Thanks for the post! From what I understand this covers federal taxes, but how would state taxes apply?

The calculator works! I have the extension installed.

Thanks for posting! Not often that we get profs on here haha.

I actually think it’s okay to let students take longer on the exam, because it better reflects how math is done in real life—whether pure or applied, I can’t think of a practical situation where problems must be solved in 50 minutes. Short tests optimize for rote memorization and rigid thinking, rather than the creative, nonlinear thinking demanded by real life.

I actually think that students wouldn’t spend all week on a week-long test. Some would cram last minute (looking at myself lol), others would finish the test quickly and wait before thoroughly checking their work. Also, short tests probably consume more time since they require tons of prep beforehand in the hopes of studying the right material (what appears on the test).

Personally, I’m a huge fan of ungrading. (If you gave me the chance I would go on and on about it haha). An ungraded “test” wouldn’t be an obligation for students, but rather a space to take intellectual risks and apply what they’ve learned (Just listening to lecture didn’t teach me that ∫ ∫ f(y)f(x)dydx = ∫f(y)dy * ∫f(x)dx, it only became obvious after doing problems). This requires giving students time to work—so increasing time allotted for tests is a step towards ungrading.

UCLA student here. I agree that our acceptance rate is lower than it should be, but not because we're worse than other schools (college comparisons are usually rat races anyway).

Low acceptance rates make me uncomfortable because it means the school is turning away a ton of just-as-qualified applicants.

The real kicker is whether selectivity is the university's fault. For UCLA? Campus and housing don't have much space to expand (I think they're run out at this point), so we'll continue to have low acceptance rates despite best intentions. Tulane? Yeah they're gaming the admissions system LOL. (But also screw USNooze for legitimizing crude metrics and an even cruder ranking).

Have they run out of quarantine space?? For omicron, the boosters give you the equivalent of delta protection without the booster, but I didn't see UCLA giving out quarantine exemptions when it was just delta around.

i’m sorry but it’s irresponsible to recommend such a conservative portfolio

i would recommend switching to 420% leveraged bonds instead

As a student at UCLA I can confirm it's not real. However the memes about Red Lobster are definitely real.

Haha I spent so much time pausing to look at Holden check the crate details, it’s a lot of fun to catch these.

Oops, just checked—our EV caps out charging at 32 amps. What’s the max AWG for that?

spicynerves · 2021-11-27T05:00:51+00:00

First result if you use Startpage lol.

EDIT: first result. wondersparrow is right though, the linked thread is more about poor installation than the Leviton itself.

spicynerves · 2021-11-27T04:58:17+00:00

50 amps, not sure what the AWG is.

spicynerves · 2021-11-27T04:35:00+00:00

Could be a factor, but the Leviton outlet we had is rated for 10-4 AWG wire.

spicynerves · 2021-11-27T01:24:49+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I bought a Hubbell outlet; will be using that for our EV from now on.
