Wrong doesn't mean worthless. Be mindful of how impactful trivial errors are to grades in rubrics. What are you actually looking to assess?

[Jason Lang @pi2infinity]

Yeah, so fuck @elonmusk and fuck his @Twitter. My last tweet here will be to mention that I've moved to @[email protected]. Lang out.

@alittlestats @bowenkerins I would like to join this. May I ask for an invite?

@sig225 My normal response when my partner says something similar to me: "I think you put it on amazon dot ca?"

@bowenkerins @CmonMattTHINK I learned this from you, Bowen. This absolutely is the way.

@MrJohnRowe This was a very satisfying problem to solve over pizza and soda while waiting for my professional development to begin at @MathforAmerica tonight. I guess if we’re showing our solutions in the thread, here’s mine:

Which is more shaded?

@cluzniak 1) Fielding more podcast debate topics? 😊

2) Test retake (with different numbers, etc) that completely replaces the first test’s grade. This happens iff test corrections have been submitted. Don’t waste anyone’s time going from 40% to 55%. Get >80% or wait until you’re ready.

@bowenkerins @bowmanimal My brain unnervingly pronounced that with a voice at the midpoint between Borat and Strong Bad.

@untilnextstop @MathClubPodcast “…but why don’t we consider the square a rectangle? Because my geometry teacher told me squares are rectangles!”

[Jason Lang @pi2infinity]

@bowenkerins I used to challenge myself to solve everything with as much concatenation as possible but that wasn’t fun for long. Now I try to solve with the numerals appearing in numeric order. Today’s felt trivial, but with yesterday’s (pictured here) makes two in a row for me now!

@bio_britt I mean, you can threaten to move out. I did a few years ago and my landlord lowered the rent to entice me to stay because I was considered a excellent tenant by their standards and they didn’t know who my replacement might be. If you’ve got that leverage, go for it?

[Jason Lang @pi2infinity]

@bio_britt Nope.

@bio_britt Recognizing your depression and anxiety might be one step towards feeling like you are not liking at yourself through the same lens as everyone else, and that there’s plenty of right with you that everyone except you can do clearly see. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@SgtRando @FPWellman Air Force field training in 2003: Friday evenings gave everyone an extra hour to write letters, shine shoes, bond, and relax before lights out (incidentally during Jewish services). Sunday was for focused dorm cleanings— but cadets could go to church instead. Almost 20yrs later…

@Military_Dollar This is nicely wholesome. Thanks for breaking up my doomscrolling.
