I was also told by women several times in my youth that, “Women never cheat. It’s always men.”

Well, I am pretty smart so I immediately said, “Then who are the men cheating with? Doesn’t seem mathematically likely.” I mean, that one woman they are all getting with must be very tired. Of course that just made my interlocutors angry. Which I enjoy, don’t get me wrong.

(I grew up in rural North Florida so they were definitely talking about straight people only here.)

Obliviousness

Remember that clown who said there are no videos of people dying on the internet? There always were, but since that idiot posted that I’ve probably watched 2,000 Russians die on the Combat Footage sub-reddit.

That’s not what I go there for, but if you watch actual combat footage that’s what you’re gonna see a lot of.

Civ Still Here

We find no evidence for a negative association between COVID-19 infection and subsequent measures of cognitive functioning. The associations found in earlier studies may at least partly reflect reverse causation.

This is about what I expected to see. Covid is not some mysterious crazy super-virus of doom. It’s just a regular ol’ coronavirus. It’ll have about the regular ol’ effects, no matter what the Covidians claim.

This is a very hard class. It’s the only one I really struggled with, though I did pass the final the first time. The key to passing this class is that you’re taking it in a real, full MySQL environment. Therefore, the help command is available. If there is some command you are are unsure how to use, do help and that command name and it’ll tell you how it works.

This is slow and you already have to understand how MySQL works well for the help system to be fast enough to be useful, but it got me through at least three questions where I could not recall the correct syntax.

But knowing what to do when you don’t know what to do is also part of test-taking.
