Oh dear, no. You are fallen into serious error.

Everyone knows you're on Team Pie. You're just asking to be talked into it.

Because if that's the case, I will follow join you on Team Pie. Cake is perhaps the most capacious of the three genres, but also the most commonly debased. Pie/tart carries a commitment to intense flavor plus, ideally, a greater variety of texture in a single bite.

Does pie encompass tarts?

Only Max.

Max! A fluffy white dog, washed just yesterday, squirms and quacks like a duck.

This dog.

Why won't the cancelled stay cancelled.

And lo, there was room service.

Moses leading his people to a Sheraton.

Is there a legend about the bird?

As long as there are men with more money than sense...

You are mistaking a part of this world for the whole. See e.g. audioasylum, or look at what any high-end store sells. Solid state "Class A" power amps, which also serve as room heaters, are a particular obsession.

Fwiw class A and AB solid state amps are analog.

Yep, tons of digital hifi when I dipped into this end of the 90s. One feature was you had to have a separate CD transport and DAC. There was also entertaining woo about CD "treatments."

This is really useful. A decade or so back I looked for institutional history of the OEEC and found almost nothing.

I couldn't finish the movie.

I think "scone" also covers a lot of things. The scones I learned from my English father were quite biscuity, not sweet and with butter cut in and rolled out. Made much like pastry, fast with minimal gluten development.

The material on whaleboats is certainly technical, but arguably functional in showing why the boating is so terrifying.

It's also a factory novel, with the material on dismantling whales.

Vaccination would make sense as an arena to hash this out.

Thanks! Richard Jennings seems to have been the one who recast political economy atop the emerging model of the nerves/brain. But the med lit was producing new ways to think about society and humans more broadly, and possibly Jevons and Marshall pick up on that.

In part it's a political wedge issue -- the honest national pride of the populace wounded by pointy-headed professors. You see this in the US right; it was a feature of Sarkozy's 2007 campaign. A common feature is reducing history to shame versus honor.

I much agree that it's a problem if the 2nd instructor was also inexperienced. Over time you learn when to be loquacious in your feedback, and when to keep it as short as possible.

Instructors should be free to use the grading scale as they like, though. If an assignment's purpose is to get people doing the reading, a 0 if the student doesn't engage it may be a good idea. Especially if, as I suspect, this was a tiny % of the total grade.

He ate the taco, and the taco was good, and the taco was not good.

... for stuff to read about Carpenter?

William Benjamin Carpenter - Wikipedia

Tracing the body in economics from Jevons to Jennings has led me to William Benjamin Carpenter and I was not prepared for how rich these texts are.

I'm incompetent to judge the medicine, but the literary qualities are striking and there's much social theory.

Any suggestions ...

Yes. I also get worried when ontological and epistemological positions get conflated, or at least glued together as they seem to be in the quote above.

Moments when I think whatever happens, at least I have never had to live inside a mind like this.

Yeah and just to state the obvious, it's not just the groups of three but the bland vapidity. People generalize on their own, yes, but it's the ability to remain consistently ten feet off the ground that's so LLMish.

We live among some very odd people.

The phrase "high earners" tells you they're socialists! Tories wouldn't bother to spell it out.
