Stanford pointed out that, even in normal circumstances, tuition fees do not cover the full cost of a degree.

“Effectively, all students, including those paying full tuition, receive a significant discount relative to the university’s actual cost.

“Our endowment and other sources of revenue, which we use to supplement tuition to cover the cost of education, are now greatly challenged because of the pandemic crisis.



lmao suuuuure

I'd like to hear what they'd say the actual cost is for a 2 year program

customers at a grocery store where people are wearing masks aren’t really at risk, it’s the employees who have to work in that same air for hours who are much more exposed

Whether people are wearing masks or not varies considerably. Even from store to store or time of day. I notice a lot more maskless people when I'm at the grocery store 30 minutes before closing and people are stopping in to pickup beer.

I guess if you concede dying either way it’s better to die on impact than slowly bleed out, burn, or drown because you’re trapped in the wreckage.

Ugh here we go

20 years ago when I was destroying brain cells by doing DXM every couple days I eventually reached the point where I couldn't stand chugging cough syrup anymore I started mixing cough syrup into Jello

It created this nasty-tasting almost greasy Jello that was marginally easier to choke down because I just swallow chunks whole

I haven't thought of this in like 15 years

EverQuest was pretty much grind and nothing else. You'd set up at an area where monsters spawned and then just kill them over and over. There weren't that many quests and on the rare occasion you found one that gave a good XP or item reward you did it like 30 times in a row.

Probably the worst part though was that you lost major XP on death, and that death could be completely out of your control, a hill giant could randomly spawn next to you, splatter your low-level character in one hit, and you'd lose hours worth of time spent grinding

It's pretty cool except I'm afraid of getting into a habit of just walking away from toilets so I flush it anyways.

anything within the city limits will fill up within minutes of opening
