Sorry, I must have skimmed too quickly and missed that.

Look for an expiration date. Radionucleotide style detectors end up failing with false positives when they reach end of life. You might need to have all the old ones replaced.

The majority of people occupying the same bed will have congruent driver/passenger sides. Distant strangers don’t need to know which side you are referring to. Couples from different regions could adopt the local convention.

The terrible state of online play ruined everything nintendo for me.

We should stop putting anything about MTG in the limelight.

Maybe they finally learned from the fiasco of the rural broadband subsidies.

Don’t overthink it. Look up faculty and try to find one that teaches introductory courses. Send them an email stating something along the lines that you’re a non student looking to learn a little more than high school introductory terms. Ask if there’s a lecture you could audit or a time like office hours where you could ask questions. A bunch of professors would probably be willing to talk to a flat earther if they were approached on a polite and courteous manner.

If your interest can’t be satisfied with a question session, you could look into whether a local university has an option for non-degree students to enroll in classes. That’s an option that’s frequently not advertised but is pretty common (at least in the US.)

I bet you could find a professor near you that would let you attend office hours and ask whatever questions you have.

Hold an in class quiz with essentially the same problem but with different values. The students that actually worked through the problem should be able to do it again with the changes. Those who didn’t understand and just put down what their peers got will struggle with a quiz. Bonus points if you can restructure the problem in a way to elucidate which specific aspects you think the students were skipping over with help from their peers. Feel free to have specific requirements assigned point values in the problem statement.

Don’t call them into your office and put them on the spot. That will make this adversarial. Your job is to teach them how to solve problems and communicate their methods in a clear fashion. You should reevaluate your problem writing and grading policies if just looking up answers can earn a passing grade. If you give a quiz, be up front with them that you have concerns about some students skipping the work and copying answers. Reiterate that the point of the exam was to make sure they can solve problems, the correct answer is merely a byproduct.

I will add speculation that there is a difference between what your students think you expect from an answer and what your expectations actually are. Mismatches in expectations are immensely frustrating for both parties. So don’t leave your students guessing. Give them specific examples of work of different quality and what aspects earn full points and what things might lead to point deductions. Some of the best professors I had would publish all the prior year exams with their solutions. That gave everyone the opportunity to mimic the workflow and match the level of detail expected. That also elliminates the concern of students finding the answers online or from prior year students for exams as the teacher will have had to avoid reused questions entirely.

It’s definitely not a complete nor perfect solution, but I’ve noticed that a number of accounts disproportionately post very negative news links. I’ve started blocking some of those users. It helps break it up a bit. I’m sure I’m missing some news now, but there’s only so many times I can see posts about the world burning up or genocide before browsing lemmy becomes stressful and nihilistic.

So if I see the same negative news story on multiple communities, I’ll click on the user and if they’re blasting negative stories everywhere I just block them. For example, I just blocked silence7@slrpnk.net, not because of any harassment or anything, it’s just that they almost exclusively post political and climate doomsday stuff.

So why didn’t the poster copy and paste into archive before posting?

This guy DIY’d it way back in the early days of concrete extrusion. He actually let a college class I was in see it. It was definitely an involved project and the result was pretty rough around the edges. His system was pretty slow and took a substantial number of batches to complete. Getting the machine and mix balanced for extruding all in one go would be pretty difficult and you’d probably need to have it mix continuously rather than in batches.

Unfortunately I don’t remember much about the type of mix he used or the pumping system. So I can’t guide you in the right direction.

Yeah, but Trump probably hates Sanders enough to explicitly forbid a weekend at Bernie’s arrangement. Even though that logic doesn’t make any sense, that doesn’t preclude it as a possibility.

Plus we know from Giuliani that warm temperatures makes the makeup start to drip. Masking a corpse until November would take too much coordination to be a successful undertaking for the Trump campaign.

Trump has to be less than 1000 big macs from a massive heart attack. She should stay in the race as the contingency candidate.

Phones are so much better for mass surveillance than cars.

Maybe it would be better for the house to just break up with Mike Johnson once and for all.

I recently found the setting to turn the beep volume down or off. I have it set to the lowest volume.

Although, on my system at least, it doesn’t switch to the headphones until after you select a user profile. So the initial audio ends up playing through the speakers. I haven’t found a way around that beside muting the sound system before booting the ps5.
