Could we destroy some of the sample? Is that enough evidence? You tell me, was always his reply. Rarely had I been asked to think like that in college. I mean, I thought a lot in college, but this felt different. @hellmanmd.bsky.social

Dr. Raymond, junior year, chem undergrad. 1st day of lab asked us to prove that the metal he had was or was not copper. No instructions. At first we were kind of insulted by this "1st year" question, but then we were tripping over ourselves thinking of new ways to do it.

Absolutely. It helped me realize that even when we try our best we make mistakes and it's important to acknowledge that. And that it doesn't work if you're not sincere. An insincere apology can be worse than no apology. Also a great lesson as a parent and human in general.

Mr. Gilchrist HS Math - first time I enjoyed math in school. We started off on a bad foot because he made an assumption about me, but when he realized his mistake he made the most honest apology I ever heard. That stuck with me. Later he also introduced me to Magic: The Gathering and D&D 3e.

I bought the Arden Vul PDF a couple of years ago and:
(1) Richard Barton wrote an awesome megadungeon (so detailed).
(2) @jgbrowning.bsky.social made getting the hardcover discount codes super easy!
(3) @3d6downtheline.com did an amazing actual play of Arden Vul (which is why I bought the PDFs).

A rough year for colds. We've had so many bugs come through. Nursery school *might* have something to do with it though. Glad you had a low key day.
