@jonw@hackers.town the issue is they missed the ‘and describe’ portion of the instructions — shame the instructor is too harsh for partial credit!

@Lady @aescling the bread in a sandwich can be heated a second time (panini) but it definitely needs to be bread before the toppings are added

Fallen London (romance options) 

@Anke marriage also doesn’t lock you out of any of the romance options (it does lock you out of the other *marriage* options)

The community was actually a bit disappointed by this fact bc a couple or the early game romance options create annoying cards in your opportunity deck and we were hoping it’d get rid of them 😂

@welshpixie middle of bottom row is nice but looks more like an O than a Q to me?

My fav is probably bottom left or top right

@Canageek@cybre.space i can understand the various reasons why professors do stuff like this but it's such an unnecessary cognitive load to make students remember arbitrary duedate *times.* Students shouldn't be punished for things completely unrelated to their academic performance

@Canageek@cybre.space nope -- hard deadline at 10 pm, no exceptions or extensions. Our IT team works for a university and knows not to do server maintenance at midnight -- I've never heard of anyone having issues with 11:59

It's a T/R class so the soonest we could get new work is Tuesday. Students schedules aren't sufficiently standardized for her to have any idea about what's due when

teacher who always makes things due on Saturdays at 10 PM has decided to make something due on Sunday at 10 PM

I mean, if you're going to pick a horrible time for your due dates at least be consistent about it???

@cbcworld really dislike the use of scare quotes in a completely factual sentence

@aescling is working on refactoring httpd.execline (which powers our WebFinger and her website) but it isn’t done yet!

@Rowyn the worst part is the first one of the semester was due on *Sunday* at 10:00 and I am absolutely pants at remembering that every one since is actually due on Saturday

That last one is the only one on the list where I can see why professors *think* it's a good idea, good to make kids review stuff while it's still fresh, right? Yeah except: 1) I am not a kid who needs to be made to review things & 2) on Mondays I don't get out of class until 9PM--there is no 'still fresh' left to review with by the time I get out of class
