Professors literally get like $0.03 per copy of a book sold. Your professors make you buy their book because no one else teaches the class like they can. It’s their expertise that you’re paying for when you go to college to study under them. They’re making sure that you have something related to that that lasts.

They’re trained on scientific writing, and we em dashes all the time in scientific writing.

Wankpuffin is actually a specific example (given within the paper) of British vulgarity considered in this study.

Even somewhere warmer, I’m a 2 year-round, too. I just have one very cool sheet that I use in the summer.

Methods sections are limited in word count, and if a lab is hoping to get a few more papers out of a paradigm, they may be intentionally terse. There’s a big difference between how we write protocols in-house and how we write limited-length methods sections.

Nothing in the Frontiers is reputable among scientists. It gets linked a lot on Reddit because it’s open access, but scientists tend to view it as essentially the not-actually-peer-reviewed equivalent of a preprint. In the past, if all reviewers recommend rejection at Frontiers, the editor would be forcibly assigned new reviewers by the publishing staff. This would continue until the manuscript would get accepted. Not sure if that’s still the same (I’ve blocked all Frontiers emails), but it’s not correct to call a Frontiers journal a major reputable journal.

The pot in my ass

If you don’t already have some form of metal that has been intentionally added to your body, my guess is that you will before you die.

The Gen Z bit is accurate, at least for current college students. I’m amazed at how little they do, how few relationships they have, etc. I actually feel quite bad for them.

Maybe, but at least some folks have less of it. Me, for example. On Reddit, I generally assumed most folks were from the US, or bots. On here, I generally assume folks are equally–if not more–likely to be from a country in Europe, or Canada. I also see way more German representation here than I did on Reddit.

I actually don’t know the way you’re supposed to beat Super Metroid “correctly.” I’ve always done what I ended up learning was a major sequence break resulting from a bunch of bomb jumps to get the power bomb early, and use that to get some other stuff that allows me to beat the game out of order.

I also never start Metroid Prime without immediately getting the double jump. I used to be up there on speed running that game. I don’t play the player’s choice or switch versions whenever I decide to crack it out. The original was literal perfection.

Mrs. Davis is one of my favorite shows period. That was a masterpiece.

While we’re on a thread about English grammar, “who’s” means “who is.” The possessive of “who” is “whose.”

Sorry.

I don’t internet without uBlock. I honestly couldn’t imagine it any other way.

ONLYOFFICE (sorry for the caps, poor name) has better docx compatibility than WPS or any other suite. It’s the only thing I’ve found that can do everything in an academic style paper without issue. In addition, its source code is open (unlike WPS) and it has Zotero and Mendeley integrations. Its Zotero integration was better than its Mendeley integration last I checked.

I’m a professor and use ONLYOFFICE as the only word processor on my office computer.

Edit: apparently the Zotero plugin needs to be updated.

Same. I still occasionally browse Reddit, but I have a rule that I don’t post or comment there. I do post and comment here.
