Why can't american dataset use SI metric like a normal person.

@xp_eileen_maths There always is.
Funny thing is my supervisor would directly write sentences in my writing, and a few weeks later she would pick on her own earlier writing and tell me to change that...

9 marking hours later I have finally successfully become an emotionless marking machine.
I don't feel sorry about my handwritings anymore.

Supervisor probably can read the panic from my email.
But then I already found mistakes in the maths notation in the doc I just sent....variables! I don't know how to write in maths.

@witw it's alright I didn't complain to the student in my feedback. He won't revenge.

f* fine I deciphered this.
I am amazed by myself.

Does this student seriously expect me to be able to decipher this.

@xp_eileen_mathematics Thing is, there is another TA who used TARDIS background once, and nobody in the meeting even mentioned that.
But considering...some group in our department made a Dalek robot once, and there's dalek poster on the wall, and a professor uses a Blake 7 backpack.
(my supervisor has got used to my messy room of requirement background now I think...)

I think it would be cool if churches displayed statues of biblically accurate angels

Supervisor gets very distracted by my Room of Requirements zoom backgroud.
I might as well use TARDIS next time.

I don't understand the maths I can't understand and I can't explain the maths I understand to people who don't understand.
# je ne pouvais comprendre les mathématiques.

Writing case study on the course makes me miss its chocolate.

another year another array of interesting student names....
and I forgot algorithms entirely. and I am so bad at maths.

Me, looking at the 'master-slave' in paper title: I thought they have changed that
Me: what did they change that to
Me: Dominant-submissive
Me: THAT IS EVEN WORSE
(well maybe not worse but)
(they haven't changed it to a universally agreed term yet, by the look of wiki.)
D-S would be actually quite accurate in controllers though.

New semester has on campus TA, which means
I probably can access the fkng office printer, finally
I don't have to write down all the maths proof in X Boyen's papers!

I spent too much time shouting angrily at bad (or badly written) papers.
