Early on in the thread I posted about how I was gonna learn Blender to make a video for a friend that I've been streaming Witcher 3 with for the last past couple of years, as a birthday gift to him. I finished it, I refused to watch any tutorial videos, I regret nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EuaV0QbTQw

I'm trying to decide what my professor meant by telling us that all of our papers this semester could be "up to 750 words". Does that mean a good 550 word essay is fine? Should I add some quotes to make word number go up?

But I imagine word count plays into his 3 seconds per paper grading process. I'm gonna throw in some quotes from the source material.

Like people who think they're clever with minor changes to font size and/or margins, "it hardly looks different at all" you say not putting together the idea that it will in fact stand out like a sore thumb when it's in the middle of a bunch of other similar papers that followed the guidelines.

The word limit is because some people will, not exaggerating, write 15 pages for a 5-page paper. Some are trying to cover every possible point because they're paranoid they'll miss something that will affect their grade, and others haven't learned to be succinct. The *good* reason to give word counts is establishing clear expectations for students and encouraging them to practice being succinct. But I think most word limits are just because the teacher doesn't want to read all that extra poo poo. If you put a block quote in one of my papers I will cross it out because there's no way you're providing enough analysis of that quote for it to have been worth including in full.

I'm getting a couple of graduate degrees to help me start a new career and what I thought was required of me was so much more than what is actually required. Like, I spent 2 days crafting the perfect essay response to a professor's question. Only to see classmates bang out a quick response over the course of an hour and get the same grade.

I made a meal my mom used to make for me when I was a kid. WI has huge German population, it's basically little Germany, so we had some "inspired" stuff when I was young. This is a huge skillet of onions, garlic, potatoes, sauerkraut, and kielbasa sausage in a big ol' cast iron pan. I put a ton of paprika in it too because I love the color. I'm drunk right now and this is just perfect.

I replaced the lawnmower blades on my riding mower. My children have the cutoff wheel going and are turning them into a bunch of little knives today. I fully expect the revolution to occur tonight once they get the handles attached and the blades sharpened up.

To say it another way, you want your students to practice being succinct because NO ONE wants to read extra poo poo, and figuring out how to convey the most important information, spoken or written, with a minimum of woolgathering claptrap is a very valuable social skill, STEM, humanities, whatever.

Outrail posted:Post the recipe, it is required. It's super simple. Like a weekday feed your kids food. I'm not a good cook mind you so I'll just be dead honest. 1 sweet onion 1 big spoonful of chopped garlic from a jar 2 large russet potatoes 1/2 jar of Frank's sauerkraut (I just checked it's 32oz) 1 of those "U" shaped rings of kielbasa sausage Salt Ground black pepper from one of those cheap grinders you get from the store A poo poo ton of paprika A little chili powder Heat up a big cast iron skillet (I'm still learning the awesomeness of cast iron) and put some canola oil in. I'd use olive oil but those things can get hot so I used canola just to be safe. Chop up onion however you want I guess and fry that a bit until it starts to get a little crispy brown but not translucent. Add garlic and potatoes. I cooked the potatoes in the microwave for a few minutes to speed things up but I probably wouldn't do that next time or heat it less. Chop up the potato into chunks and try not to burn yourself since you cooked them in the microwave too long. Toss that in along with the garlic at the same time so it doesn't burn. Add all of the seasoning and make sure to coat the potatoes with paprika. Once those are done, whenever I guess I was drunk and didn't time anything, then throw some sauerkraut in and flip it a bit so some can at least get browned. Then cut up the kielbasa on the bias and toss that in there. Once that's in then it just needs to be heated up. That's the lazy way to do it. I'm sure I could have done other things like sear the kielbasa to get a nice crust on it but like I said this is just an easy one pot meal. Excellent drunk food. It has everything you want in one dish.
