It looks interesting…but I’m more interested in the ELO cover. 😂

I’ve been in that particular situation several times. When I was an Econ major, not only were the school’s own professors high flyers, the visiting professors were literally some of the most famous academics in their fields- the guy I took 101 with was literally the man whose book was the #1...

The refund should come from the school, which should can the prof for using manifestly flawed teaching tools. As for the book itself? I’ve used professors own books in college and beyond. But in each case, the books were actually accurate.

Just saw this doozy, and shared it with my Dad (an MD). https://imgur.com/gallery/future-of-medical-education-now-with-sources-hVOCqrD Somewhat taciturn by nature, he was struggling between silent disapproval and opening the floodgates to his damned up expletive reservoir. (Restraint won out...

Tomorrow, I’m going to the Dallas Market Hall for the InterGem Jewelry show, as I’ve done a couple times a year for at least 2 decades now. This one feels different. As you might expect, old faces get replaced by new ones, and there’s been some real changes in my life situation that will limit...

I haven’t rolled polyhedra with intent since 2014 due to a confluence of events. Nothing I saw in the prerelease notes of 5Ed interested me. It just left me cold, so I didn’t buy a single product. In addition, I was essentially ghosted by my game group because I wasn’t interested in...

I have a list of band names. One of my faves is: Alias, A.K.A. Alter Ego. Every person in the band would perform under a stage name that is the REAL name of an established performer who uses a stage name. So you’d have something like “Reginald Dwight” on keyboards, “Chaim Witz” on bass, “John...

I’d never heard of it, so I looked it up. https://www.unsupervisednerds.com/reads-full/2021/1/20/the-tommy-westphall-universe https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/the-master-list/

On the one hand, I’m almost always happy to see people living the tenets of their faith. OTOH, I hate that it’s so rare that it’s newsworthy.🫤

I’ve seen a few reports over the past few days that G&L has gone out of business. Employees let go; doors locked. There’s an accompanying (unconfirmed) rumor that Fender is going to be buying them out. Personally, I’m a fan of their designs and ergonomics, but I don’t own anything yet. A...

I’ve been trained in 3 forms of technical writing and one of my minors was in English. I have learned how to write, and more importantly, how to edit. And even so, I occasionally catch myself skipping words or steps for things that it’s imperative are communicated clearly & succinctly. I was...

I’m thinking it’s some kind of gravy pellet. That would be something like the powdered mixes you’d see for gravy mixes in the USA.

So just stick to chicken & sausage. Or add ham/bacon. I mean, gumbo started off as poor folks food. Putting whatever you want in it is historically accurate.🤷🏾‍♂️
