To clarify, the qualifying exam took place over two days. It required taking four tests, one on mechanics, one on electricity and magnetism, one on quantum mechanics, and one on thermodynamics. Each test had only three questions and you were given an hour and a half for each test. This was typically not enough time to solve all three problems.
The day we were given the thermodynamics exam, we were incorrectly told we were going to the a quantum exam the day before, so we all had studied for the wrong test.
All of this was still easier than beating the nyt mini crossword faster than my younger sister
@aescling i've had a whale of a time on this instance, please don't ban me :(
@aescling it is true scrungly behavior to tell one not to post greentexts while also explaining how to properly format greentexts.
(i will not post any more greentexts in the future.)
@Satsuma do have a specific pronoun for Jimbo?
@coriander i have fond memories of when i was a kid of going to costco, back in the day when costco had video game demos, and playing the fighting mini game from Arkham Asylum. my family never had a ps3-generation console at the time so it was my only chance to play it.
so yeah i have to agree that it is the greatest game of all time
@coriander unfazed. in their own lane, unbothered. a real fungi.
playing balatro
a soul spectral card appears in my tarot pack
ask jimbo if it's a good legendary or chicot
he doesn't understand
explain the difference between chicot and the other legendaries
he still doesn't understand
grab the balatro wiki, show the descriptions of all legendary jokers
he laughs and says that it will be a good card
pick the soul card
it's chicot
@coriander memory is a fickle goddamn thing.
@coriander it also ran for 8 years, not 2 or 3.
@coriander he had undisclosed health issues, not cancer. he died after his retirement. my bad.
@coriander there was a delightful strip in the 2010's called Cul de Sac. Unfortunately the artist got cancer and died after two or three years but it was easily my favorite strip you could find in a modern newspaper at the time
@coriander you could tell me this was actually from whatever game this is and I would believe you
Also why does the image of the my little brother, who is now 21, saying fuck upset me. He is an adult. Let him say fuck

videogame enjoyer. mathematics hobbyist and recovering physicist. software engineer. professional wonk. certified weird movie liker. top-ranked c++ hater. prophet of The Truth. space dandy and kill la kill propagandist. the walking embodiment of "not diagnosed, but somethings wrong". i like animals that wear cowboy hats.
I am not picky about names. Most people here call me catwin, clodboy, clodsire, or Caleb.
