Tried to participate in the meme, but couldn’t think of anything that hadn’t been done. Googled it and got a wonderful ai response

> cvs girl: No problem
> First two come out normal. The rest come out on 8.5x11” glossy.

Played Street Fighter for the first time in about a year, and for the first time competitively in about two years

I got third. Had some nerves, execution wasn't great, but I did hit a few clean links and confirms. Lost to chudzilla lol

Looking forward to practicing more regularly and playing again

Oh wow. I did not know that Bayes was identical to Peirce. I feel like I’ve just learned that the morning star IS the evening star.

All jokes aside I pulled out my Peirce book from my bookshelf. @jpober.bsky.social I borrowed this from you 10 years ago. I still gotta give it back to you someday.

This poll has been on my office door for the past few days. Apparently analytics and continentals can at least agree that \varphi is superior.

Of course I could make things more challenging, Lisa, but then the stupider students would be in here complaining- furrowing their brows in a vain attempt to understand the situation.

Bad things happening at overleaf. Been around since the sharelatex days, and I'm sad to see this. While I understand that they need to turn a profit, the pricing structure is not good, and their userbase is technically adept enough to find/use alternatives. I don't think this will turn out well.
