Overheard the following at McDs this morning as 5 very old men talked very loudly. "You see those commercials for the $89 hearing aids, I can't believe how cheap they are" "Trump told them to lower the prices" "Yep, I am getting some fitted on Saturday"

That is 5 reliable votes in all elections.

WE HAVE AN EXPLANATION!!! Apparently google forms updates the file name with a "- name", so this is not willful ignorance.

Now thinking there is a coordinated joke being played on me. I updated the wording to be clear with an example of what not to do as well. We are now 0 for 5 on correct file names submitted.

What it is about my directions that people are not understanding. Several people did not follow file naming directions (not shocking), I gave them a chance to fix it by submitting with the attached directions. If your submission 117 file name was joesmith-papertitle.pdf what would you change it to?

Be on Santa's nice list by simply conveying what you mean mathematically clearly so we can stop having these PEMDAS arguments.

Actual quote from an end of semester reflective essay: "I've ran into a bunch of math teachers in my day, some have been kickass and some have just been ass."

Amazing PBP call

@learnedlag.bsky.social any idea why the Guac question from last week is listed as 100% correct? You each missed it, did you get credit for some reason?

I am asking the important questions here. Do you know what Iron Kids Bread is? Because my partner had no idea what in the world I was talking about when I casually busted out the rap.

Y'all, yesterday in my elementary math class a student asked me a question I've never been asked before (or thought about): can we long divide if we don't convert the decimal divisor to a whole number. I said, of course and then we did it together and it kinda surprised me how cool it was. 1/2

Oh hey look who I found

If you have not toyed with Google NootbookLM, it is stunning. You upload sources and then basically do chatgpt stuff with but only with the sources you give it. It also generates an impressive podcast. So I decided to use two of my papers and then it made this: notebooklm.google.com/notebook/03e...
