Dank barium drank

Have not had to do that yet.
The prep for the colon balloon wasn't all fun and games though.

Man do I hear that!

Although, one spring break I did work for an electrician ....... for a few days .... till he fired me ...... because he wanted to climb up the outside of a grain elevator and rewire a 220V motor ....... without him shutting off the power, because he didn't know where the switch was. He said just connect one wire at a time and don't allow yourself to between the hot wires and ground.

Well, technically, he was right ..... but I have acrophobia ......

So, I refused, so he fired me.

(yes, matter of fact, it was snowing and the elevator was straight up ..... and down)

I have finally joined the "this car needs 50 HP" more crowd...

But only because it is taking too long to wear out my MPSS tires and I want an excuse to change my tire/wheel setup!

Why are these tires lasting so long? I try to slide at least once a day...

If you guys are teaching a class, and you give a test. Every student fails, what happens? Is there any way to make a case? Like a curve?

Take the highest score and start there

Of course this depends on the school (e.g. public vs private, elementary vs college), but in general this is up to the teacher's discretion. The teacher is well within rights to say the class did not understand the material presented and fail everyone. Or throw the test out. Or change the grading to a curve.

But students making a case against the teacher/test? Not likely.

Bell curve to bring up the average to be reasonable. Pretty common in university courses where the real avg of a test / exam is below 50% (more like ~30% when I was in school).

If I teach a class and every student fails I beat the crap out of myself for screwing something up and bump them all up just enough to bring the lowest mark to a passing grade. Then beat myself up some more for screwing up.
