I had to cancel a class partway through because of a sign error in the Turcotte and Schubert elastic plate bending solution and my notes. I simply could not figure out what went wrong and I didn't want to waste the students' time. I don't think anyone complained.

Kim Kardashian is a hoax. She can't prove to me that she is real.

Foreign faculty and postdocs enabled many Florida universities to maintain their excellence in recent years when the state became unwelcoming to a significant chunk of the US population. If this isn't just some quickly-reversed stunt, expect their ratings to crater.

He might as well just knock the whole thing down and replace it with Mar a Lago II. It seems like people are just going to let him do whatever he wants. I don't see where this ends.

Now there's a visual.

Sanewashing, sanewashing...

A bunch of olds like me and some dancing teens in inflatable costumes.

So scary.

Shoot it and cook it at the same time! Genius!

Can confirm that they were in the 1980's.

unsurprising.

I sold my diamond bracelet because of this. Why own it when you can't even wear it? Clasping it is a two-person operation.

2. A 4H geology club leader, Margaret Shibley. Elderly lady from a century farm down the road - not cookies and punch with pretty rocks, but slogging through a scary tome by Vening Meinesz on plate tectonics and field trips to the OR coast. (2/3)

1. A junior high school geology teacher, Steve Carlson. Yes, he arranged things so he taught mineralogy and geology to 7th and 8th graders and took us on field trips. In 8th grade I was his TA! (1/3)

I can't see it. Maybe it's been exterminated.

I wish I could go back in time and teach with this!

What? I'm surprised. This seems too soon.

We're going to have AI "voters", aren't we.
