that's like half of the podcast The Greatest Generation's shtick - jokes riffing on cleaning up the holodeck after him, they go through the episodes one at a time and it's fairly obscene + nerdy without being over the top

tangentially, I'm kinda baffled by the assignment itself - I've done lots and lots, but like 10 to 15 years ago, never anything close to this type of essay "question".

also never had one where one word less than the limit is penalised

Lesson 3.3: Reaction Paper: Gender Typicality, Peer Relations, and Mental Health Due Nov 9 by 11:59pm Points 25 Submitting a file upload Available Aug 25 at 12am - Nov 9 at 11:59pm This assignment was locked Nov 9 at 11:59pm. You must write a 650 words (body of text), double-spaced reaction paper demonstrating that you read the assigned article, and includes a thoughtful reaction to the material presented in the article. Points will be deducted when papers are deficient in any of these areas. I will deduct 10 points if your paper is between 620 and 649 words, and I will not give credit for papers under 620 words. Papers not turned in by the deadline will not receive credit. Please remember that your reaction paper should not be a summary, but rather a thoughtful discussion of some aspect of the article. Possible approaches to reaction papers include: 1. A discussion of why you feel the topic is important and worthy of study (or not) 2. An application of the study or results to your own experiences 3. An application of the study or results to observations about other behaviors 4. Linking the objectives or findings from the assigned article to other domains of development or other findings that we read about or discuss in class 5. A suggestion for further studies or experiments that might help researchers better understand the topic being studied 6. Alternate interpretations of the researchers' findings 7. A discussion of how development in this domain might proceed differently at other developmental stages 8. Your own thoughts about how development proceeds in the domain being researched in the article There are other possibilities as well. The best reaction papers illustrate that students have read the assigned materials and engaged in critical thinking about some aspect of the article. Formatting requirements: 12-point Times New Roman or Calibri font, one-inch margins on all sides. GRADING: Reaction papers are graded on a 25-point scale, and are evaluated based on the following: 1. Does the paper show a clear tie-in to the assigned article? (10 points) 2. Does the paper present a thoughtful reaction or response to the article, rather than a summary? (10 points) 3. Is the paper clearly written? (5 points) ARTICLE LINK: Gender Typicality.

the bridge of the Enterprise (The Next Generation). Riker and Picard in the foreground, Worf behind at his station, the quote is "Maybe they went in for a closer look, got more than they bargained for." they all look pretty annoyed at whatever it is going on (I don't remember which episode)

man I love buying digital these days, but dammit I hate this silly licensing bs

happened to me with a rally game too ffs (a DiRT one), just delisted!

you should still be able to buy a disc-based one and install but ffs
wikipedia article for Spec Ops: The Line Delisting Around the end of January 2024, 2K Games began delisting the game from sale on digital storefronts due to expiring licenses for some of the game content, with multiple outlets speculating it was in regards to in-game licensed music. [70][71][72

feels silly to highlight, and obviously beside the point, but I've never seen so many poorly done [...] editors assumptions

"very sad" is a statement on its own, "considering leaving" can be said without 'I'm', and "sad, but" is also perfectly coherent on its own

I wish I could have achieved this in New Zealand I've already left for higher level study and now work. I have a stable and well-paying job and stable housing, transport, food costs and other amenities. I could not attain this in New Zealand, nor would I be as successful in my career as I am now. [I feel] very sad. I wish I could have achieved this in New Zealand. Celine It doesn't feel like home [I'm] considering leaving, no hope for buying a house for the family, the cost of living is very high and housing prices are still insane, even after a slight drop. Too difficult to compete with all the investors who speculate with family homes. Moving is always difficult. But hope for the future is worth it. We are looking for rational house-to-income ratios. [It's] sad, but the country has changed so much that it doesn't feel like home. Anonymous

"Please don't say that," I said. I always said that. From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible. I did not like to think about it. About the armed man at his speech. Or the armed man who broke into his home. Or the armed men he paid to guard him from armed men who sought to harm him while the federal government denied his pleas for protection from the security agency whose modern protocols were carved by the same bullets that cut boughs from his family tree and cut the track of the American experiment. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/olivia-nuzzi-american-canto-excerpt

staggering levels of bullshit. gobsmacking revisionism to describe the last 30 years of LNP climate policy as "We were part of the global solution, not a barrier to it."

www.smh.com.au/environment/...
Sydney Morning Herald Environment Climate change Climate policy OPINION If Libs dump net zero, we'll lose more than an election. We'll lose a generation By Adelaide Cuneo November 12, 2025 - 7:30pm Ten years ago, when I joined the Liberal Party, my state MP was the premier of NSW, and my federal MP was the prime minister. The Liberal Party was governing the state and the nation. As someone who has spent most of my adult life working, volunteering and believing in the Liberal Party, I can't stay silent as we teeter on the edge of a decision that will define our political future. During those times, our record on climate was one of practical leadership. John Howard introduced Australia's first renewable energy target, heritage-listed the Great Barrier Reef, and went to the 2007 election promising a carbon-trading scheme. Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison, as Liberal prime ministers, helped shape international engagement on emissions reduction. Liberal governments in NSW and South Australia drove early investment in renewables and laid out clear paths for a decisive shift to clean energy.

the big point of difference for us is that so much of our solar is on rooftops

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_p...
wikipedia article 'Solar Power in Australia' ^ Installations by type The largest share of solar PV installations in 2018 was from grid-connected distributed sources totalling 8,030 MW. These are rooftop systems in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. For the purposes of the data, residential grid connect are systems <9.5 kW, commercial are systems between 9.5 and 99.9 kW and industrial are 100 kW to 5 MW. Grid connected-centralised plants was the next largest sector in 2018 with 3,272 MW installed, representing utility scale ground mounted solar with a power rating > 5 MW. Off-grid solar PV was the smallest segment at 284 MW in 2018. Growth accelerated dramatically during 2018 in both rooftop distributed solar and utility-scale solar which became a significant component by the end of the year. By year end 2018, Australia had 1.96 million residential rooftop solar systems and 78,000 commercial and industrial rooftop solar systems, for a total of 2.04 million total rooftop PV systems. [6] Over 200,000 were installed in 2018 alone and the country was on track to install as many again in 2019. Australia leads the world in residential uptake of solar, with a nation-wide average of free-standing households with a PV system at over 20%. [6] By early 2020, Australia had 10.7 GW of rooftop solar in 2.4 million systems. [8] By 2021, Australia had 13 GW of rooftop solar. Where new inverters (solar or
