My calc III teacher didn't assign any homework and the 4 tests were your total grade. The first three were split into two days (class met four days a week) and the last one was just a single final. He put copies of old tests online for study aids and allowed one page front and back to take into the test. Showed up to class maybe half a dozen days that weren't test days. Copied his previous answers down on my cheat sheet and just flew through his tests. Got an A.

My dad is a semi-professional bowler. Like he's got a 210ish average and has won money in national tournaments with his team. One of the guys that subs with them used to bowl solo professionally but melted down every time he was on TV.

one of the things we have to do to graduate is complete an upper level writing requirement. This means we either have to publish a paper or write a publishable paper via a seminar course.


I'm taking a prison reform seminar this semester and I was able to tie in sovereign citizens well enough and get it approved as my topic so I'm going to write a 20-50 page research paper on these nutjobs that could end up in a law journal.

Especially in a low level writing class one of the number one grading criteria is "is this thought original or at least presented originally?"

They don't care about the substance or subject. Can you write coherently and of your own creation is 99% of the question.

Whoever writes the admissions essays for these international students at Columbia is probably what you're after.

Following the china.jpg thread has given a lot of insight into these types things. Lots of rich chinese students don't speak or read any english yet get into various grad/bachelors programs and do nothing but cheat their way through. Upon being caught it's mostly swept under the rug and they're quietly given their degrees. Virtually all will simply return to China once done and take a job at dad's company or working for him in his government office. The degree is meaningless other than just to say they have it. The schools turn a blind eye because they gouge the gently caress out of them on tuition.

Might be the wrong thread, but anyone have experience with Voc rehab buying them a laptop? I'm using an iPad pro right now, which is awesome, but I need something to run ArcGIS

There's a form you'll need to get someone from the school to sign that says you need a computer (trivially easy to do) and then the VA will get you a cheap but still new laptop. I've never taken them up on that offer (cause I can't get them to drop 2500 on a new MBP) but I have got them to fix the screen on my macbook pro.

Just talk to your counselor and tell them that you need a laptop for school.

If you need a macbook pro or something and your program will sign off saying that you actually need that, you might be able to convince them. Like if you're doing something requires mac software, you're golden.


I just need a laptop for taking exams on software that's available on both windows and OSX. There's no way I could convince them that I needed a mac specifically.

I spent hours coding and writing a system in excel that would pull from multiple sheets and displayed all the stuff in a nice color coded percentage way to track the thousands of items that needed to be fixed for insurv. Last I heard some people are still using a variant of it. The guy that did the manual data entry and had nothing to do with the work I made got an award for it.

Apparently if I had actually written myself up for one I would have got one too, but I just couldn't find it in me to write an award for myself.

I've got vet plates on my personal cars and my food truck because I live in the south. They changed the way the iraq plates were set up, though, so I've got one that says "operation iraqi freedom" and two that just have the campaign medal on it.

I like it because I've got a four letter license plate that's super easy to remember and I'm going to get less grief if I get pulled over.

Why the gently caress are you guys dealing with cops so often you need poo poo to hedge the bet?

I rarely ever deal with cops, but I have gotten pulled over recently (burnt out tag light) on a semi-rural highway in Texas. If I had regular florida plates, I almost certainly would have got at least one ticket. Vet tags? Checks license and insurance and sends me on my way with directions to the nearest truck stop that will have bulbs for me.

That's the way it worked in texas. Just showed them my a couple of things that showed I had a service connected issue and my tags from hawaii and they gave me DV plates with the symbol on them without issue. Florida, otoh, requires 100% to get the plate and they're not by default handicapped plates but instead just for 100% rated people.

I think it's because engineer culture is also built on the glorification of shared suffering.

I get along with a number of my classmates including one that's 10 years younger than me. I don't spend much time with most of them, though, because I don't drink anymore.

It's tough to not drink in college and remain social. I lapsed two weeks ago and passed out at a party. Woke up to some gross girl trying to fit my unimpressive, flaccid member inside of her. gently caress college parties and gently caress drinking.

Well, I mean I can drink. I'm not an alcoholic and only stopped drinking because my already lovely feeling guts feel even worse for a day or two after drinking. I'd rather not deal with that than drink 95% of the time, but if I'm hanging out and there's beer pong I can jump in for a round without too ill of an effect.


Every law function is all about just getting as drunk as possible as fast as possible. That's not really something I can do because I'm absolutely miserable for 2-3 days after with or without a hangover. Plus they're all mostly rich fucks and I'm loving trailer trash from bum gently caress nowhere. What do I have to talk about with some guy that's talking about his dad closing on their third vacation home (this one in the bahamas)?

So on some I'm a dumbass news - I've got a largish paper that's due monday. I had a rough draft a couple of months ago that I had to turn in. Rough draft was supposed to be 10-15 pages final 20-25. I only had 8 for my rough draft and was sweating because I'm at 13. I was worried about fluff and then I looked at the paper's guidelines. I was supposed to double space this motherfucker. My rough draft was actually longer than it needed to be and I'm currently almost already at the page cap. My day just got a lot better.
