Comment Re:Next time change to 1/2 hour DST (Score 1) 130

I live in Az and we do it. There is a slight truth to the waiting for the bus in the dark, but the heat is so insane that workers prefer getting started in the dark with lights and quitting when it gets 115F (46C). I worked Mid Shift in server-farms almost my entire career so my only complaint was how much work going BACK is vs going forward.
As a grade schooler...loooong ago, I was a late bird, and started school at 09:00, it was always light.

Fry's is a regional grocer that was bought out by the national conglomerate Kroger. Kroger is the largest grocery chain in the US. I live in one of the US's 2 biggest seasonal growth regions and the produce at the 'supermarket' is abysmal. For half of the year the farmers outlet is open and I can get super fresh whatever is in the fields. When the farms move to Salinas I am stuck with brown lettuce and shitty tomatoes, and green bannanas.

The answers should be provided after the due date. If the student failed one or more particular concepts or techniques, why wait until they fail them at an exam to find out? That doesn't mean the instructors need to spend their time checking the homework, it's sufficient for the student to grade their own homework and say "I'm not getting this, I better ask for help".

It would make sense to me if the answer key was posted after the homework came due. The students could grade their own work against the answer key if they choose, and if they consistently got something wrong they could ask about it. This means less work for the instructors while still performing the due diligence of giving the students feedback on the quality of their homework. Those who care will use what is provided. Those who don't, won't.

The nanny Finnish government made a mistake ? for profit no less damn...they are as human as the rest of us. I figured Elon would Heil them into helping him...you know for old times sake...

"This is more Finland problem than Google fault."
Just because no one stopped Google from committing ecological terrorism doesn't make them less culpable.

I recently started tt-rpg again with the new D&D. Getting back to pen and paper is really refreshing and fun. Check your local game shop, or college for active gaming groups. Oddly all the players are older folks with a even breakdown in men/women. All the younger folks play MtG or some other card based game. I think Pathfinder might be the rpg for that genre.

Email clients could make this problem MUCH easier to deal with if they would just show the DOMAIN instead of overlaying the address with a title that is wholly made up. If you could see that your MS support email came from iamfuckinghack.com and not microsucks.com it would help. The mobile email clients are TERRIBLE in this manner and almost part of the problem hiding the true email address. Hell your client should point out those discrepancies when the mail is received.
