I also just discovered the reverse side has a very faint inscription: Bruce. Which is actually a floor manufacturer.
My only input is to remember that most people will then search for “name + Lemmy” or whatever.
Memmy is a bit of an awkward name, I agree.
What is “obvious” is a fine point and university students still struggle with knowing what is appropriate.
For a simple distance, speed, time calculation I would expect a good student to write the units so that it’s obvious by dimensional arguments. Moreover I’d argue it takes little more effort to write eg v = d/t = …
People really underestimate the importance of clear communication and scientific clarity. A student who understands the subject deep enough to clearly communicate it is likely a top student. It’s one thing to cite that formula. It’s a whole other thing to explain its derivation or to understand that for large values of ‘c’, the formula approaches the classical limit. In these jokes, there is never a well-written response because of there were, it would diminish the shock.
Of course the whole thing is a joke, but behind the scenes, the fact that the normal person lacks an understanding of what is actually important here (the ability to communicate) leads to the mess of abilities at the university level.
It’s a perpetuation of the idea that there are these little child geniuses that outsmart their teachers. Then these little geniuses graduate high school, and realise they never actually understood the subject at anything more than a superficial level.
I know it’s largely made up for parody but the teacher’s point is true. The “student” showed no work, but rather used an unexplained and underived formula.
But yeah “ha ha—teacher so stupid”
Kind of a random comment.
I listen to Podcast P on Spotify. He’s probably become one of my favourite basketball podcasters behind Zach Lowe and Bill Simmons.
He’s just a really chill dude. Unlike other podcasters like Draymond and Reddick, PG doesn’t have the same ego. With Draymond and Reddick, they love to show off how smart they are.
On the linked podcast, he asks Haliburton who on the USA squad didn’t make the NBA and then gives a shout out. It’s just an unusual thing to ask and shows that he’s a nice dude.
I also have to say the cohosts are really good. They’re also chill, and they complement PG pretty well.
Pretty crazy stuff!
I actually had one of those watches…the Ironman version. To be honest I was so young (maybe 10-12) to have appreciated the technology. I thought it was cool but heck, I didn’t have anything useful to store!!
It’s interesting how technology moved on. To be honest, I don’t now whether people found the watch useful compared to say a PDA.
That’s true. I understand.
I’m also not a fan of the DLC and change to video game design based on such payouts.
But even then, even with fake reviews, young gamers are completely spoiled with information compared to the black hole that existed in the 80s and 90s. I’m not sure how people argue otherwise.
The fact that I can go on my phone, jump on YouTube, and watch a play through is incredible. When I was young, I had to make decisions based on what the box art looked like ffs.
