Mostly damage control for very freaked out students. The due date for the final paper was right when they shut everything down. I still had a few days to grade after it came back up.

But yeah, I was getting emails all day and kept having to assure them I wasn't going to penalize them.

    Happened to me yesterday, actually, that a large truck stopped suddenly at the end of an intersection and I, behind them, had to stop in the intersection without knowing when or if we'd move again since I couldn't see anything ahead of the truck. A good seven or so seconds later and the light turned yellow so I had to cut to the right (mostly parking) lane to avoid gridlock. Went ahead a few cars to an opening to get back into a driving lane, cutting ahead a little.

    My "I'm sorry" horn is really just my shy hand wave out my window though. I don't use AC nor have tinted windows so I think they generally see how I feel, I think. More often than not, it's a "thank you" horn though, as people often have to let me out of my own driveway since I live on a major street and there is rarely a time there aren't cars idling outside waiting for a light.

    I mean, yes and no, there are transport costs and stuff, plus you have operational costs. But they definitely mark up prices by a lot, especially things made in house like their cookies and muffins. Muffins start at $6, they get a mark down to $4 after a day, and probably more but they usually sell at $4. If you consider labor prices, energy cost, and ingredients, that day-old price is still pretty profitable.

    You want corruption though, I'm glad Albertsons didn't get the merger with Kroger/Ralph's. They already do piss poor quality at high prices for no reason, but I'm also certain they've tried to bribe their way into that merger.

    Seriously... It's so randomly priced, lol. $13 soup? 25 cent bell pepper? $40 herbal supplement?

    But I will defend their $4.50 milk, everyone caught up on prices anyway but I swear it tastes better. Same with the $4 eggs that... At one point during the eggdemic, was the cheapest eggs on market. They didn't even raise their price, they just have different suppliers than Target next door selling shit eggs for $8 a dozen. Lol

    Nice. I needed that software on my previous controller when the non-hall effect triggers got busted and needed to adjust sensitivity. I don't tend to use macros, though.

    Now if Launchbox can make a Linux friendly version (or I guess browser based version) I'll have literally nothing I miss from Windows left.
