If they were the size of a penis it would just be the male condom with extra steps.

Thanks. That was not what I was expecting; for some reason I was basing my imaginary skunk smell on the smell of rotten fish.

Wow that's quite the bioweapon!

2/3 of these animals aren't in my country so I don't know about the logistics but this seems really cool!

I think blind marking is important. I have literally heard people objecting to proposed grades with phrases like "but he's a bad student" or "but she's really bright."

I agree with this. It's a bit like the first 2 pancakes, you have to go back over the first half a dozen once you're in the zone.

I used to grade hard copies a lot, after I graded I'd put them in order from best to worst (numerical grades) and then do quick comparisons between an assignment and its neighbours in the pile. It's an easy way to "quality control".

As for the comments, that's a self-discipline issue. If you're giving, say, 4 positives and 4 negatives per assignment and have standard ways of phrasing, it shouldn't deteriorate.

As someone from neither place - I'm guessing it didn't strike a nerve, so much as it struck a funny bone.

There's just something ludicrous about the phrasing.

China does this too. I love getting files in this format.

This story made me cry. I am disabled and not always mobile. There are loved ones in my family who are elderly, cannot walk far, and depend on medication.

I cannot even imagine what it must be like to try to evacuate at short notice, with nowhere to go.

I'm not either.

Take milk, simmer for an hour. Thats basically it

I feel like you're one of the people this article is talking about.

Dromio05 showed me several posts he deemed questionable since Reddit took away his own mod badge. For example, this post shares a link to an article about "rebel canners," which Dromio05 argues "gives a public platform to people who openly encourage methods and recipes that are known to be unsafe, like canning milk and open kettle canning." The post is labeled unsafe, but Dromio05 would have removed the link to the article.
