Reading about GPA:s etc makes me incredibly happy that we only have pass or fail in Swedish med school. I think the underlying reason for this was to encourage working together and dampen the competitivness that usually exists in high end education (like the law school stories I hear where people sabotage by removing relevant chapters from library books). It helps, but people still do underhanded poo poo like not sharing previous exams, general information that is passed down from students futher ahead or activily trying to make people learn wrong stuff. During these 5½ years I've also learnt that your exam % says absolutely nothing about how good of a doctor you are going to be, and the things that make you a good doctor aren't on any exam.

What I'm saying is... make an appointment with him to go over the test and the grading. Take up his time. Brute force polite annoyances are the worst and I end up just giving a grade spiff to keep the issues down. If that doesn't work, then there's the department head. I've got one kid that I'm waiting to hear back from this semester. He could have done well, but he half-assed assignments and skipped a couple WEEKS in the middle of the Semester. He has been checking his grades multiple times per day for the last week (yes, we can see your online activity with the school's system), and the final meeting was over a week ago. I'm sure he's trying to find an angle, but he's got no chance of a grade change. I made sure of that.

Question to ask: I need to email some personal ID to a bank. I want to encrypt/password protect it somehow. I see that Windows doesn't have built in password protection for zip or anything. Is there an easy way to do this? Maybe a legit small file hosting site that i can password protect for download? I haven't had to do something like this in years. KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:as far as I can tell like 95% of american adults are sleep deprived Adiabatic posted:So I had a 4.0 going into this final semester. That was literally me with a university course last year. Literally went into the final with something like a 97% average and ended up with a 65 or 70 on the final. And the final had such bizarre off the wall questions. I asked the prof afterwards "WTF was it with some of those questions?" and he just shrugged, thought nothing was wrong with them. I mean, the only reason I passed is because I have a personal interest in the subject and knew many of the answers because of that, literally not because of the course content. I pity people that took the course because it was required or didn't have a background/personal interest in the subject. Cage posted:Pickle chat? I could eat an entire jar of pickles.

The flip side is that he'll never have any interactions with this prof again, so it's not a bridge that matters if burned. It also doesn't hurt or help the prof one bit to not revise the grade. I never got close to a 4.0, but I can understand vesting some psychic value in it. Ultimately, if the grade is changed, success. If not, it's not taking a lot of effort, just some... encouragement.

Not that I really have anything that needs encryption, but out of principle. You can choose to encrypt (receiver needs password to open it) or not (mail is open, but Tutanota can't give the mail to governments etc because they don't save it in a way that can be accessed.). Free to use as well.

Right click whatever file -> WinZip -> Add to Zip file -> check the "Encrypt added files" box and click Add. It'll prompt you for a password.

I was thinking that sort of thing, but I don't think it's standard in windows nor do I know what the receiver has for software. I just did password protection internally in the .doc file. Appreciate it though.

fun fact: .docx files are just an archive containing an xml file. So you can actually remove the password protection from a .docx file by unzipping the .docx with 7zip and removing the attributes from the <w:documentProtection /> tag then rezipping the file.

There's a password/encryption component to the ZIP standard but it's extremely weak, so there are competing standards from third-party tools. The table of contents (filenames listing) is almost never encrypted.

Did anyone else listen to the Terry Gross/Howard Stern interview today? It was so interesting if youve listened to Howard Stern at all and anyone that regularly listens to Fresh Air will know why. It was actually so long that there will be a second half tomorrow and I cant wait. I stopped listening to Howard when he went to satellite just out of laziness and now I think that I missed out on a lot because of the changes he went though due to that among other reasons he talks about in the interview. I find the human condition endlessly fascinating and appreciate good interviews and the show was two of the all time greats from opposite sides of the spectrum. Highly recommend it after the whole thing is released to listen to as a podcast probably tomorrow sometime after the second half of it airs.

Pretty sure I have a portal to the sewer main line in my back yard. I have a spot that keeps... disappearing. A small sinkhole. And the sewer main runs right below it. I know this because I spent $4500 last year replacing the line from my house to said sewer main. Guess I should contact the city about my suspicions? No stink - yet.

The one where he interviewed Terry Gross was amazing and he got her to talk a lot about herself and she's usually pretty reserved about that. The one with Obama was really good too, super funny and interesting.

I've been listening to podcasts about song deconstruction lately and it's super interesting. One was Lindsey Buckingham going step by step how "Go Your Own Way" was written with Fleetwood mac, and another one with Lars and James how Metallica writes songs....I think it's called song exploder or something like that. There's also a podcast of the Flaming Lips going through a bunch of their music describing the writing process and all the little happy accidents that happen, it's pretty cool to hear how they DIY'd their way through most of it. If you're a music nerd it's good listening.

Oh man yes I'm a huge music nerd, more than cars even. That's good to know, thanks for the heads up on that. I get to listen to stuff all day at work and I need to hear that one now. Lindsey Buckingham was on Live From Here recently and he played the best version of Big Love I've heard yet so I've been thinking about Fleetwood Mac more than usual, haha.

You should check out the Session with Christian James Hand. He breaks down pop songs and why they work. It's best listened to by headphones because he has access to the master tapes and plays each track individually. Here's a song you probably didn't think needed a break down: https://soundcloud.com/theklossessions/smashmouth-all-star

To their credit, it is still only 30 grand when all the other car brands have cranked prices the gently caress up. The toyota 86 already starts at $29,990. Next year, the toyota 86 is going to cost more than the 370z.

Has the 370z gotten any heavier over the course of it's life? The gigantic aftermarket support it's amassed over it's life cycle is also not a bad thing. Still a Datsun though.
