Chicken cheesesteak with provolone and fried onions on an amoroso rollllllllll

I love lightning bugs! Luckily I still see a lot of them in my backyard every year. Fewer than there used to be, but still a lot. I really hope they can be saved.

What are P and N?

ONE letter away from Nostril....

Fucking excel. Lemmy lemme tell you. At a former position my boss wanted me to make an economic model in excel. I begged to do it in R but no dice. Annoyingly VBA was the skill all other employers were interested in (in my brief foray into industry). I had a million sads.

Man I wish i were good at puns because I love crows and seizing the man's of production but I'm drunk and I got bupkis sorry

Fucking eh

Oh man there is (or was, I'm too lazy to check) a restaurant in Philly that had walls that were transparent when you were outside the bathroom but when you locked the door became opaque from the outside but were still transparent from the inside and it was WEIRD pissing in there. Paranoia to the max

I'm already married but can arrange a quickie divorce if you'll just

Ugh I love Bowie pics. I had to put my greyhound to sleep last month and it cheers me up to see a pointy brindle snoot! 🩶

Dude I live in the Philly suburbs and there are so many Trump yard signs in my neighborhood, it's really depressing. Loads of Harris signs too, but there are way more trump signs than in years past. I don't get it.

I'm sure he's talking about giving police carte blanche to be as violent as they want for an hour. Which is obviously batshit. But it honestly makes me wonder...is he trying to lose this election?

Presented without comment:

Pepsi Kona for me please

Plagiarism detectors aren't meant to be used in lieu of critical evaluation. They find suspected plagiarized passages and supply links to what they think is the original text. Then you as the professor are supposed to evaluate whether it really counts as plagiarism. You can tell the detector to ignore certain parts that pass your scrutiny and rerun the analysis.

When I was teaching, I always included a "drafts only" TurnItIn link that was for the express purpose of students checking their own work for plagiarism. They were supposed to run it through TurnItIn, evaluate what it picked up on, fix whatever issues were present, and then when their paper was in a good place with no plagiarism, they could submit it to the real TurnItIn link for me to grade. This was to the students' benefit because they couldn't be surprised by the results, and also to my benefit because with this system students had no excuse for submitting any plagiarized material. The diligent students used this system. Lots of lazy students did not, and when I found plagiarism I was not lenient because they'd had every opportunity to avoid it. (And also because it's fucking grad school, and I had no patience for their fuckery.)

Yeah and also, sometimes it's really hard to find NMIC products.

This is so precious 😍

What about orange creamsicles?

I wonder if this was from Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy, the scene in the briefing room when the Doctor daydreams that all the female crew are flirting with him. Seven doesn't sit in chairs super often but I think she does in that scene.
