Doing it well requires a different approach and skill set than in person learning, which can be difficult to retrofit into an existing institution, especially when budgets are tight. Plus established institutions tend to be a bit conservative about things. Even if the administration is on board, getting faculty to adjust their curricula and adopt the new technology can be near impossible.

I’ve only watched the first one. Visually it was great, but the scenes over shadowed the plot to such a degree that, even having read the source, it was still hard to follow.

I would not call it a bad movie, but I’d file it with Avatar and the fountain as being more about the experience than the story.

Shoot Arch Duke Ferdinand. Few people even now about it today, but he was subject to a horribly mangled assassination attempt that many scholars belive would have set off a major war in Europe had he died.

No costco nearby, but usually get tires at Sams. Walking around the store gives me something to do while I wait.

Simple bully logic. If you are bigger than someone else, simply hit and threaten them to get whatever you want. Works really well until all the victims gang up and fight back together.

Lawyer, friends/family, cloud storage, or safety deposit box all seem like viable normal options.

To be extra safe. 6 hard drives (each with a copy of the files, and four stacks of Blu-ray disks (each with a copy of the files). Divide these into at least two yeti coolers (include a large silica gel pack just in case), and bury the coolers as deep as possible in the woods.

Scenario I’ve been playing with:

Suppose you are kidnapped by two people. They tell you that one of them will shoot you and then let you go, but you get to decide who shoots. Person A says he will shoot you in the head. Person B says he will shoot you in the shoulder. Which do you choose?

The more think about this the more I like it. Both persons are clearly awful and contributed to the situation. Both could offer better choices but refuse. Both are rather similar in outcomes. But one is clearly worse.

Is it rational to choose to be shot at all? Is it rational to not choose the better of two alternatives?

I used to think the Anne Frank quote was inspiring. Now I just see it as bitterly ironic.

I was curious and checked while shopping today. There weren’t any, just a bare shelf.

I filled the rinse aide once, then lost the bottle. I refuse to buy more until I first find that bottle and use it up.

Despite all the effort spent prosecuting it, there’s virtually no concrete evidence that retail theft — organized or otherwise — is on the rise. Data on retail theft provided to law enforcement and lawmakers comes exclusively from corporate retailers, or organizations funded by them, and is not independently vetted. Last year, the National Retail Federation was forced to retract its claim that organized retail theft cost its members “nearly half” of the $94.5 billion in lost inventory in 2021. One researcher put the actual figure closer to 5%.
