But if Kia sold 455 units at $50K, then they’ll only need to sell 379 units at $60K to make (i.e. lose) the same amount of money. That’s math! (Bad math.)

I don’t try and quote some made up fictional muffin English common law...

So perfectly phrased.

No, it’s more about the idea that it would wipe out hoards of Harvard and Yale graduates...

Nice. I think the proper response, when a waiter emphasizes the proper pronunciation of dishes in the source language, would be to switch to that language to complete your order, and maybe even to ask a question. (Not really, but it could work in a comedy sketch, I think.)

What excellent writing is on display in this article!

I mean, that’s pretty bullshit non-answer.

Thank you for your dedication. Your field sounds like mine (computer science), so I can appreciate that you have a much tougher road to travel than most others. 

Sure, that can also be appropriate. It’s not something I’d be comfortable doing, but I know people (better instructors than me) who have made it work.

If you’re feeling so ignored and disrespected, teacher, be the actual teacher and address it.

Wow. I taught college classes for 20 years, and it never once occurred to me that I might call the campus police to handle an issue with a student. And an issue of perceived respect? Please.

Yes. This was superb.

Nice. There’s an area of psychology (distributed cognition) that includes the study of the nature of such “tricks”—you’re offloading a memory task into the environment. A common example is using a shopping list, but probably everyone has more creative examples as well, such as yours. :-) I like to run my dishwasher on…

Good point—maybe I should adjust my sense of humor.

I’ve enjoyed this site over many years but please stop with the clickbait headlines regarding science and nutrition.

I graduated from high school in the early 1980s, which means that in my group, the apex of automobile culture was... ‘60s pony cars and muscle cars. I can only guess that it’s because 15- to 20-year-old cars were becoming affordable to people in my age and income bracket. In college I drove a ‘65 Impala (not the SS)…

WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE MORE STARS FOR THIS?!

Nah. Their offensive line would get decimated by literally any defensive line and those DL would be up the QBs ass almost as soon as the ball is snapped.
