HERCULES!
Good on Faye, for taking a firmer (but still quite reasonable) stance on being paid for labor and services.
I am still wondering who in Yay's household demanded mealworms at 4 AM.
And professional advice is always worth it. It saves you money in the long run.
Does anyone else feel Renee is a bit of a dick? She knows there's stuff that Brun doesn't 'get' but instead of saying anything she just 'mm hmm's.

She knows there's stuff that Brun doesn't 'get' but instead of saying anything she just 'mm hmm's.I suspect this may be more of a 'you said something that can be taken in a more sexual way than was initially meant' sort of thing. Either that or Renee legit misunderstood.

I honestly thought teasing between friends was normal everywhere.Whether it’s “normal” or not, it’s established than Renee and Brun do this to each other. With Brun it appears to be about licorice burps.
Who uses 'recursive' besides computer nerds?
I don't see computer science in Brün's background.

Who uses 'recursive' besides computer nerds?I am unable to answer this question, because I'm an old school computer nerd. As in, I built my first computer in 1977. At this point I'm so deeply immersed in computer nerdom I have no idea what's normal.

If my car needs fixing, and it turns out to be something very simple, I don't expect them to say "it took five minutes and we had the parts lying around, no charge." I expect them to charge me a reasonable amount, because they had the knowledge and skill to do something that I couldn't do myself.
Claire did not take off her glasses first. They are now somewhere in her shirt. :meh:

(I don't think Roko was doing that btw, I just don't like the idea of genuinely moral decisions coming with a price for those it affects.)
So what will they do when they see she passed?
I was going to say 'frazzled Claire needs a hug', but...Intercourse is a kind of hugging. Best kind, really.
Good thing for Marten they had sex already. Gonna be a while before the next one :-D
The same thing, minus the anxiety?We know her better then that. She will invariably find something else to be anxious about. :psyduck:
He must have been lifting some heavy books at that library, because the Marten I know should have just snapped like a twig.
I also wrote an essay for another class (first-year university this time) and got full marks for it, but was still told that I didn't write enough. I'm not sure how that works...Impossible to say without knowing your professor (or teaching assistant, or whoever was grading it) and what they meant. BUT. I can imagine, for example, having a minimum standard for an "A," but an internal standard for what a really good paper should be that's higher than that. It depends on how that person views grades and what they mean.

I'd be a lot more careful about asking Pintsize to decock anything.Decocking? Encocking seems like more of Pintsize's thing.

Having to lug around an unabridged dictionary (the really big ones) could do it. Dropping one of those on your foot could easily break bones.He must have been lifting some heavy books at that library, because the Marten I know should have just snapped like a twig.
Especially considering that earlier on, he was struggling to lift up Hanners. Then again, Claire is shorter, just as slender, and the whole square-cube law applies.
That would be "cocking," right? Tova asked, with cocked eyebrow.In a conversation like this, the correct word is the silliest one.
May I present the WNT, the most complete dictionary of the Dutch language?Having to lug around an unabridged dictionary (the really big ones) could do it.

I had an experience like that in high school. It was a math competition, and I turned the test in early. Afterward, I realized I'd made some really dumb mistakes. In one case because I didn't understand the question as well as I thought I did. I was pretty ticked at myself for quite a while afterward.I did the same thing in one of my university exams. Finished early, went over everything again to check, left the exam an hour early. And then realised that I'd made a stupid mistake interpreting one of the questions and had answered something much easier than the real problem.
You must have had a very interesting college / program.
Every course and program at the colleges and universities I had attended [both side of the lectern] had very strict marking schemes and if you failed the exam then that was your final mark no matter how exemplary your reports and such were up to that point.
My university was an ex polytechnic, and my degree was vocational journalism. It made no sense to examine things like 'how well you write' under timed conditions. Or more accurately, our timed exams were over multiple days, because they were live exercises like working in the industry.Oh, right, they actually assessed your competence in your chosen field, instead of your ability to memorise and regurgitate facts. :psyduck:
Absolutely. I had to take public transit 2 hours each way, and there were a few finals where I'd have passed the course with a solid "B", based upon points alone if I didn't take them, but the policy was that if you didn't show, it was an automatic fail. So I had to waste four hours in transit to basically just sign my name and hand in a blank paper. Of course, once I was there, I just took the damned exam, since why not?That's just terrible.
That's just terrible.
Professors need to be more understanding of extenuating circumstances.

It was the institution's policy, not the profs.
In case anyone's wondering, a cheap theremin kit runs about $100. To get one that looks the part, you're looking around quadruple that.
It’s the same with any musical instrument; there is a range from absurdly cheap to outrageously expensive and everything in between. Just be glad there are no 400 year-old Stradivarius theremins… yet.In case anyone's wondering, a cheap theremin kit runs about $100.

I'm sure I remember Theremin's being cheap as chips.. until they became a little cooler in recent years?
