He was rambling about an annoying guy on a plane loudly negotiating a business deal on his phone to which I replied he was negotiating for 40 MILLION DEUTCHMARKS! (Freddy Got Fingered reference) :smile:

I mean, I AM a big deal after all lol He is one of those guys that people either love or hate. There doesn't ever seem to be a middle ground.
since it's online, do you know if anyone else is having trouble? Like, are the students as a whole frustrated with the prof? If yes, is it possible to go above them? DH had a class where the prof kept missing class but not pushing back quizzes/tests - and then similar stuff to what you are saying, not getting stuff posted, not getting grades up in a reasonable time. Somebody went to the Dean and she got in some hot water for it.
I know one other student in the class. He didn't seem very concerned about it. I'm not looking to ruffle any feathers, yet. But I'll keep this in mind.
and I don't mean to be like hey, unhappy? Go over their heads! But I know in DH's case, he ended up dropping the class and retaking it. He was already not doing fantastic in it, and then everything else was making it worse. I want to say she last-minute cancelled class (like within an hour of class) something like 3 times in one test period. And it was a T-R class. He was looking at the drop date but wanted to get his score back from the second test to know for sure - and that test was taken like three weeks prior and grades still weren't up. Think other people in the class put pressure on her because they were looking at dropping as well. Pretty sure that was the one that at the final (when he took it the next semester), they had a streaker in a bear mask.
Apparently this class was like the worst for the CS/Cpr E peeps. They had the streaker (in which the TA ran and hid behind the professor). DH wasn't quite sure what about the streaker made the TA think he could be hiding a weapon. And another guy about 10 minutes in stood up, threw his test in the air, yelled "**** this ****!" and walked out.
I loved the occasional meltdown during exams. During one Econ final, some guy stood up, yelled for about 15 seconds straight and then sat back down and kept taking his test. Nobody else did a thing. It was almost like it never happened. Friggin weird.
Just had another rite of passage when having your own apartment: I just set off my fire alarms cooking

i was cooking a little bit of chicken on the stove so it was smoking a bit, I didn't have a fan on and I had my windows closed most of the way. I was concentrating on the food and didn't notice how smoky it was getting.
I got home from the bar and the stove was a bit of a mess so my drunk *** decided to try and clean it with a roll of dry paper towels. I didn't know my roomate had just finished cooking so the surface was still hot, paper towels caught fire, I panicked, and somehow the roll ended up partially under the toaster which melted the plastic from the heat.
I've got an Excel question. Cowgirl? Or maybe someone else will know?
To simplify this a bit, I basically have two columns. The left column is a set of numbers I've already calculated. The right column is a set of numbers I need to calculate based upon the value of the number to the left. Basically, if the number on the left is less than 0.5, then the number on the right is calculated with equation A. If not, then the number on the right is calculated with equation B. I'm trying to use an IF function to accomplish this.
=IF(P16<0.5, [=24/P16], [=24/P16+3/(P16^0.5)+0.34])
It didn't like what I did here.

I figured it out!
=IF(P16<0.5, 24/P16, 24/P16+3/(P16^0.5)+0.34)
This accomplishes what I want. Needed to remove the brackets and = sign.
Something for Wax. Little long but guarantee you'l like it. 00 too.

And maybe not entirely true but fun.
