It's a cheap LED pen light, they hand them out like candy where I work. Most of us have our own flashlights anymore.

Head of garlic in to 2 sticks of butter on the stove, in to the potatoes when they're ready. Skins and all.

Nommmmmm

Because it's contrary to the narrative they already believe. Facts don't change feelings. At least not at the pace they should.

Kinda depends how you like your potatoes. I generally like them a little lumpy, but I think the twelve or so of us in the lumpy crew nationwide lose that fight every Thanksgiving.

But! The ineffective ass potato masher does a real good job of breaking up ground meat in to super tiny bits in the pan for stuff like Taco meat.

What happens when those three pedal the other direction?

It's stats, it's a descriptive term. It just literally doesn't mean what you're saying it means.

A driver in stats is just an item or a group that has a significant impact on the final result. What that means is going to vary from study to study.

Anyway, you can hold on to your belief about what a driver is, you are factually incorrect, and you were also kind of an asshole to the other guy. I'm out.

Because the point of the essay is to teach a topic, and hone research skills.

Typing a prompt in to a chat bot and copying the result is not an effective teaching tool. If you wanted to use it as a starting point it may occasionally be handy, but you need to know enough about what you're asking it to know when it's wrong. You need to take the results, and modify them to both sound human and correct mistakes. By that point you might as well just write the essay. And sure, there's something to be said for teaching that, but clearly that's not what this student was doing, nor are the multitude of my wife's students doing that when they use an LLM for their essays.

Is it really Plato or just his shadow?

If I had had the money in 2016, I would gladly be that rat bastard. It was obvious then that magtards would buy anything with dipshit's name on it, and you could easily slap a banner on your website that "10% of your purchase will be donated to conservative* causes." With a disclaimer that stipulates that conservative in this case is conservation or that it's net proceeds after costs, and include salaries and political donations in costs. Political donations in this case actually referring to planned parenthood or blue campaigns in battleground states.

Suck money out of idiots and put it to good use.

Shout out to Physics Girl Dianna. Who is still bedridden.

5% can be a driver if it's having a decent impact on your results. This is kind of a stats 101 thing man. You might even look for those outliers in your results and find a way to specifically exclude them if you find that the information you're getting is being skewed. Do that too hard and it's called P-hacking.

"We found that the bottom 5% of respondents were driving results negatively and so excluded the top and bottom 5%."

Think about it as a literal driver. It's a driver. It's not the driver and also half the passengers. You can drive a motorcycle, you can drive a bus, and how much of the occupancy you are of those two things can change dramatically but you're still a driver.

Who told you that drivers have to be 51%?

That's not what a driver is. Driver is a general term, ten pregnancies are a driver of total birth rate, as they have impacted total fertility significantly.

Your oil gauge really shouldn't be moving a whole lot. That's a feature, not a bug. The information you need is too cold, too hot, or just right. Knowing the exact temperature might obfuscate the important data. 99.9999% of the time, your oil temperature is within operating temperatures. You really only need to know when it isn't.

Kind of the same thing for oil pressure, you either have enough, or you don't. There's no need to buy a quart of oil just to throw half of it in the car. That warning comes early, it's "you need to go get oil in the car you're currently driving, make that the next thing you do." Not "you're out of oil pull over."

If you ever see an externally mounted oil reservoir, it will have two lines. One near the top, and one a ways from the bottom for max and minimum fills. If the machine that's connected to has a sensor, it goes off well before that minimum fill line, and that minimum fill line leaves enough oil in the reservoir to lubricate everything it's lubricating multiple times over before it runs dry.

All of academia is breathing a sigh of relief that you're not a teacher.

Because if you didn't write it, you have to cite it.

If a computer writes it and you say it's yours, your plagiarizing. You're not allowed to pay someone to write the essay for you, same goes for a computer.

Standard citation rules already rule out using AI to write your essay.

My wife teaches, and she can spot the AI essays at a distance, it's not hard.

I would argue that half the army recruits can only do two out of the three of those, and half them only one at a time.

Lmao what penalty.

Gyms typically want your checking information, rather than your card to avoid exactly that.

So you just have to go to the counter and tell them to remove your payment information and when they don't, (they'll say they have but you'll magically get another change months later) then report them to your bank for fraud.

They'll get a hold of you real fuckin fast.

When they take your checking account details they're required by law to remove them from your system when you ask.
