  • When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer?

    Jump

  • They always have.

    In the past it was just by increasing the prices of things to cover it.

    Now they’re talking about why they’re doing it in the hopes we won’t be pissed at them and pissed at the credit card people.

  • I dunno why, but only had either incredibly shitty math teachers or incredibly awesome math teachers.

    The best was a guy who fought in Vietnam (and talked about those experiences, instead of not saying anything,) and also had a Friday-class-teacher as often as he could.

    The guest teachers were always people who used the math we were learning in careers that where just about math. (They were also actually interesting people. You’d think the actuary would be boring. There were also pharmacists and doctors. Chemists. People you’d not normally think of.)

    They weren’t teaching math so much as talking about what they were doing with it- if it was research, it was what they were researching then and there, etc.

    Had him for a lot of classes. Algebra, statistics. Trig.

    In any case the worst two was either the guy the school hired to be a football coach that used and insisted we used play calling diagrams to “show our work.” And it wasn’t anything like the usual steps.

    The other worst was a lady who I described as Eva Braun’s Evil Twin. (I still stand by that. She was not a good person and she routinely bullied a friend. I idea how that teacher was still employed.)

    All three of them got that for something. Mr Awesome laughed, and said “this is why we don’t divide by zero.”

    The evil Eva Braun got really pissed off.

    The coach? Yeah. He struggled with it for a week or two. Until he took it to another of the teachers and came back really pissed off. (He tried to make me run laps around the school as punishment. I just ignored him.)

  • And what what’s her name said wasn’t even really in the Bible. (Or at least she provided no actual citation to that effect.)

    Worse, y’know what is in the Bible?

    “Women, shut up.”. 1Tim2, 1Cor14, etc.

    (Paul was a dick. And it’s even worse if you go to the Bronze Age bits…)

  • I think I’m converting to pannumerism.

     
        
1 * 0 = 0 = 1 *2
(1*0) / 0 = 0 = (2*0) / 0
1 = 2

    (/jk, this is why we don’t divide by zero)

  • Dunno about you but I won’t move on until every John, every perpetrator, every asshole in the files has their world scorched into nothing but charred ruins.

  • Well.

    You’re right.

    But also not.

    Their laws. And their orders. They’re the party of “obey or else”

    Basically a Christian version of Sharia law.

  • House GOP passes sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions, sends measure to Senate

  • What’s interesting, is that many of us already do register with the state governments.

    Its goal isn’t to regulate voting. It’s to suppress it.

  • they should probably consider therapy for all those kids getting fucked up because they're constantly being exposed to violence and death and scientific douchebaggery. (aka, poorly conceived experiments conducted without proper safety protocols...)

  • ‘Why not?:' White House says Trump floats naming Penn Station, Dulles airport after himself

    Jump

  • Naw. I want him babbling incoherently about trump-This at the Trump-that with trump-sauce over the trump steaks, thinking they just renamed everything to "trump-whatever".... as we all go on completely ignoring him.

    Edit: although, I would be okay with renaming United Site Services to "Trump PortaShitters"

  • And if she's the only therapist on board...that's even more fucked up.

    Like. a token effort. Typically, therapists will see 15-30 people a week. Figure monthly regular meetings, and all the time she spends on the bridge not doing therapy and assisting Picard with diplomacy and stuff... She's maybe providing regular care for the senior staff.
