Final Remix

That’s the thing where you quietly disappear into the woods one last time, right? Or is my retirement plan too expensive these days?

So, the point is moot anyway.

Image won’t load, but the band is pretty good.

Nice. Congrats. Happy for you. Not at all jealous, stuck over here with fucking KNOX…

'95 LeSabre was my first car. Drove over an open manhole and obliterated the subframe. Still drove and ran fine, but it was totalled. The engine fell out but still ran enough to get home. Those engines are immortal.

The impala, I’m selling because now I have too many cars. Runs great though. She’s gonna outlast me, probably.

We just sold our 1991 Previa. Even better, it got sold to a family just up the street, so it’s still in town. Now I’m waiting to sell my '04 Impala. Got that bulletproof 3800 V6, but no buyers so far.

No idea what this is all about, so I read whomever’s “elephant in the room” post on the tesseracts sub, and good god it sounds like someone in the throes of a mental health problem.

A Previa is not a shitpost. It’s a work of art. Fuckin’ thing can haul entire sheets of drywall, with no problem at all.

“Oh, so just like Sekiro”

Things are bad. They’re coming in completely unprepared in some cases, and even our IT people are pushing AI to be used in blackboard (free “for now”, with promises of “a great deal” when prices happen).

Students are using Chegg, AI, and whatever else they can to not do any actual work. I can ask in an online discussion about what they did (a for-fun check-in question with no stakes) andnreceive multiple identical posts with different wording. I’d rather get the old bullshit “I agree with your post, Jennifer.” Unsubstantive posts.

My team’s playing with making exams worth more and required in-person again. At the moment, they’re mathematically insignificant in my courses but online and open for a few days at a time. Scores are high, but range from like 30-100. They’re entirely unmonitored… I have students ask if it’s cheating if they use their notes. These kids have no fucking clue sometimes.

I have an advanced course in my workload and I require in-person exams (I’ll even answer questions, during)… average scores these past two semesters were around 68. This is an advanced intro course and they’re doing well while we cover the material.

Hey, at least now I can point to something concrete and peer-reviewed to try to shake my students into doing the goddamn work in 101.

Hardly. Slop is slop.

I bought a secondhand Ascent and since it relies on 3G it bitched about there being no network, then gave up. Radio and CD player both work fine though. That’s all I need.

It’s exactly what he would’ve wanted.

And by then, there’ll be a bypass.

Isn’t that exactly the plan for those ridiculous NVidia home lootboxes?

There are three As in “Strawberry”. Let’s count.

and there you have it.

Hey at least we don’t get banned here for calling out hackery.

Keep shit unplugged when not in use.

Tldr is that I think we found RFKjr’s lemmy account.
