Wait. "7 feet tall dog", but "7 foot cat"? Are you suggesting a... septacat?

It depends on the class. I didn't realize that my marketing prof's statement that "15% of your grade will be due to participation on the online forums" meant "you will post a comment on every article or you will get 0% for that part of the grade". I assumed that it would be based on the quality of comments/depth of…

I think the biggest miss in the original comment is here:

Well, CLEARLY, that's why Clare is the problem and has to go.

I was, and no, it doesn't.

I don't agree. As a programmer, I say that it is totally not comprehensible.

Bullshit. "Whether is Heather attempting a suicide" is not a predicate. It's ill-formed and not a reasonable question to use to assess the knowledge of a student.

Bullshit. No, it's poorly written and a terrible exam question regardless of content. There's no way to assess the ability of the student based on whether or not they can understand that.

Coconut oil is surprisingly not greasy if you get the amount right! I shower twice a day b/c I feel grimy a lot of the time and b/c I _hate_ having the feel of stuff on my skin (making bread by hand almost kills me - get it off! get it OFF!).

I have cotton gloves used for kneading bread dough.

Instead of a "disaster recovery plan", we use the term The Simpsons did: "Marge, prepare the emergency ham!"

Nope. "prusten", not purr. Similar, but without the flexible hyoid bone in the larynx I believe.

And was she?

I haven't missed the point of it - you seem to have decided that the subject of the article was the person rather than the product. That's not what the inventor wanted and that's not what the author agreed to when initially contacting the inventor.

If the science credentials are fraudulent, then it doesn't reflect well on the science itself.

If the reporter had concerns about the science based on what he learned, he should have sought independent expert confirmation. If she DID have a degree from MIT, that doesn't make the science valid - think of all the harm done by the guy who HAD a medical degree who faked the link between vaccines & autism. It's the…

To report on the science, Hannan would have to do more than simply test the golf club. He had to corroborate whether the inventor went to MIT or really worked on top secret projects for the Department of Defense and stealth bombs as she and her inventors had claimed, experiences that were essential to the science…

I just stopped by to deliver your kudos for using the right levels for DEFCON.
