I’d be very surprised because neither of them have ever struck me as even so much as being bi (and I am, so I feel like my gaydar is at least tuned in a bit), but if either of them did come out, I would of course be very supportive.
I gave my students a take home exam over spring break. (This is normal where I teach) One of the questions was particulary difficult. It came down to a factor of three in the solution. That factor inexplicably appeared with no justification on many of their exams. I intend to have the students I suspect of cheating come to my...
Unless you explicitly stated in the exam that they had to show their work with their answer or fail, even if the answer was correct, then I say pass them. It’s on you to be specific as to what you want to see on the exam. Maybe they worked it out on scratch paper and didn’t turn that part in with the exam?
Across all industries, organizations are rapidly embracing generative AI. Among them, makers of home appliances like fridges and ovens. Generative AI in your oven? Why not?

In other words, how do I empathize like the cool kids clique?...
I tell you what my personal trainer told me about weight loss: When it comes to losing fat, you have to view it as you would see a puddle drying up. The areas of water on the edges will be the first to go, then slowly it will dry up until the center is left, that being the deepest part of the puddle. That’s how fat loss goes. The area with the most fat will be the last to go. You cannot target special areas for fat loss, so if you think doing more sit-ups will make your gut magically disappear, sorry, it’s doesn’t work that way.
That spacial awareness of my old car that took time to cultivate, so that when I was in the car, it felt like an extension of myself, all of that goes away and I have to relearn it all when in a new car. That and the brake sensitivity.
Reese’s used to have an “Elvis” Reese’s peanut butter cup that had a layer of banana cream in them and they were FIRE and I think about them at least 5 times a year.
It’s hard for me to pinpoint exactly what put me in a better mental state, as I started working out, dieting, and decreasing my alcohol consumption all at once. I don’t think working out by itself is going to help, you have to attack the issue from various angles.
Or what has been your go to lately? I’m usually a whiskey and ginger kinda guy but I’m trying to branch out a little these days. What’re you drinking?...
Using my husband and me for an example, when one of us is going to the grocery store, the other person often adds something like “Love!” and “More love!” to the grocery shopping list....
If we’re in the middle of sexy time and he asks me to pause for a moment because he’s worried he’s gonna finish too soon, I ask him ridiculous questions about Lord of the Rings.
“Why didn’t they just fly to Mordor on the eagles?”
