Attn students: Please do not hesitate to attend office hours (even if you are not in close proximity to an exam)! Your professors have scheduled the time and if you don't show up they are sitting alone in their offices being sad. You are not bothering them if you ask questions!

Every once in a while it occurs to me that the purpose of education is to destroy your confidence in your own knowledge so you will just continuously research and read and double-check and maybe someday claw your way toward a slightly more accurate understanding of the world

On the flight for four more hours. Should I use this time to make flying-based puns? I don’t know. All up in the air right now. Aisle have to think about it. Eh, I’ll delay until I can think of one. Can’t just wing it. That’s just plane common sense.

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Olive Garden commercials and then asked it to write an Olive Garden commercial of its own. Here is the first page.
