Oooh boy that is a weird way to display that data.

Also gently caress the publication system and using amount of publication to quantify science. Down with the system imo.

I remember somewhere there was the paper that proved that the Earth is flat because you see, the absolute rotational velocity difference between the poles and the equator in case of a spherical Earth would manifestate as constant supersonic shockwaves in mid-latitudes.

Throughout this paper we will be taking a look on a rhetorical analysis of 4 different texts
relation to the businessworld. We are doing this for two reasons: 1) I am minoring in Business 2)
As a Computer Engineer, Business is a useful skill I could use.

edit:



that's the entire paper. the same author has another single-page paper in which he calls Einstein an idiot without mentioning him by name, but there are no diagrams in there

We no longer execute them for being insufferable. So that could be a positive or negative depending on how you view it.

We make them post-docs and TAs, which is much like torture.

If nothing else it keeps them and their dangerous ideas safely contained.

Earth is a banana. It's a perfectly natural thing that can nourish everyone, and we've ripped the surface off of it, coated it in garbage and deep fried it to sell to fat white people at a carnival.

Metaphorically speaking.

I think the following things are clear:

1. A sandwich must be composed of a filling covered on at least two opposite sides by bread
2. The bread must not be baked along with the ingredients of the sandwich
3. Open-faced sandwiches bring only confusion and chaos and must be stamped out
4. Hotdogs aren't sandwiches

I'm pretty sure "hot dog sandwich" refers to those weird people that like to actually put several hot dogs between slices of bread instead of a bun

This is a good thing to do if you are out of buns. You have to slice the hot dog half-open along its length though.

Next you'll tell me a toast isn't a sandwich because of bread-to-bread contact area.

Two slices of toast placed on top of the other (with no filling) is clearly not a sandwich, but two slices of toast held completely apart by molten cheese clearly IS. So the question is how much bread-contact is permissible.

A well made toastie will just have a thin strip of crust around the outside where bread meets bread. Any more than that and yes, I would revoke it's status as a sandwich.

Edit: I have some fascinating theories about piles of rice that I'm sure you'd all enjoy.
