So I order a new tape library module.
Take out the old lto 3 module, put in the shiny new LTO 5 module. Delete the old LTO 3 parition in the Library GUI, try to create a new partition, no joy. So I call the library support (who we purchased the upgrade from directly seeing as it's a modular upgrade), they get incredulous with me and say we don't have a support contract on our library
yes but we just bought an upgrade for it from you, you can support the upgrade...
the prompt was like, your local town has received a charitable award to be used to enrich the teen community. the two options are a sports club and an expansion to the library with more young adult literature and a computer room. draft a letter to the town council arguing which is the better choice. i ended up arguing that the library expansion was the best option, i presented two primary arguments (that it would enable economic/career success and that it would enable personal growth and civic engagement). each got a paragraph, the first basically being 'blah blah communicative ability is fundamental to multiple branches of industry, exposure to accessible print literature and the breadth of language available on the internet will enrich and blah blah'. and i of course mentioned how computer skills are a valuable skillset even in many 'non-tech' fields. then the second paragraph was about civic engagement, getting kids interested etc. unfettered, open access to data- to a broader understanding of the world, and the ideas it possesses- makes for a more interested, empathetic citizen. i used the example of small town kids who lack the print and e-resources to explore the various ideas and cultured and who then experience maladjustment upon going to college or entering the workforce.
unfortunately, the proctor said there was no character limit but that ended up being untrue. there were about 90 seconds left- and i was maybe 50 words from finishing my submission- when i got a popup that i was exceeding the character limit. i had to frantically go back and excise any passages that weren't essential, and whose removal wouldn't interrupt the focus of the argument. this left me with almost no time to proof read the changed version, so i hope i didn't have any errors or continuity problems with hurriedly removing a couple of sentences. i literally hit 'finalize' with one second left. in any case, i think it was a strong submission and i imagine i did well.
the reading section was a joke. i'd be surprised if i got any wrong out of like 40 questions.
the math was... eh. it was the most important part for me, and it was also the most difficult. the way it worked was you'd answer a series of questions on a given topic- solving linear equations, the slope intercept form, simplifying radical expressions, etc. if you didn't get 'enough' correct in a given section (and note that you weren't penalized for wrong answers; if in doubt, i guessed), it would just stop. there'd be a sudden flashing on the screen as it 'decided' if you ought to move on.
i 'passed' the sections on one variable linear equations, two variable linear equations, graphing linear stuff, simplifying radicals, solving exponentiation division and distribution and shit, solving equations with i, logarithms, composite functions, and basic trig (sohcahtoa) and such. i was on the 'advanced trig' section with harder shit where i'm not sure how i fared when the test 'ended'. i got a few of those advanced trig questions right, i know, and a few i made guesses about which i'm confident. but i got some wrong, too, i'm sure. i don't know if that was just the 'level' i failed on, or if that was the end of the examination. i'm not sure. i was the last person in the room to finish the test, and i don't know whether that means i overthought a lot of stuff- or whether i got a lot more problems correct than others and so i was given more problems.
i then went to try and figure out what i was supposed to do next (financial aid? academic advisement? picking classes?). i then turned in a form (the 'signature' page for my application). it was kind of a mixed experience. on the one hand, everything's obviously kind of low rent and all the signs are like, printed on cheap paper and not formatted and in goofy fonts and the people i asked usually had to ask their supervisors for the answers to my questions. but on the other hand, everyone was obscenely nice and no one blew me off or was condescending. so it was good and bad, i guess. i saw a lot of kids working assiduously in various lounges, and it seems obvious that a lot of the students really do take it seriously despite it being a community college.
then after everything concluded (apparently i'm supposed to register for a new student orientation come wednesday? where i'll then be directed to financial aid and academic advisement) i walked a mile or so to try 5 guys for the first time. it was really tasty, but i was so nervous and queasy from the exam that i didn't finish the food.
wtf is myostatin and why does it make you a superhero?
Chat is so bad about referencing things with no link.
if only there was a browser tool that allowed you to use a search engine
the internet is not a system whereby users break off for their own searching while a conversation is going on.
I think you may have some empirical evidence suggesting otherwise!
We are turning into a community of consumers, rather than one of users. That our behavior is beginning to self-align to the desired corporate shift is a source of tragedy, not evidence!

There's a couple of rare human instances of myostatin resistance or even immunity and so far as they can tell the only drawback is increased food needs, I guess?
man i hope we are genetically engineering ourselves soon
i want people who can run marathons in well under 2 hours and all that kind of stuff
I just want to be able to avoid sleep without addiction.
imagine a world where a sub 2-hour marathon, little-to-no sleep, never getting sick (ever), a 225 bench - say 15 or 20 times - and a genius-level IQ is normal

thanks. however, it wasn't an examination to determine entrance to the college. that's automatically granted. it was an examination to determine where i'll be 'placed' on the hierarchy of courses- what courses i can take my first semester without needing to take prerequisites.
my primary goal is to be allowed to take calculus in the fall.
Why would you drink coffee black? The texture is too thin and the mouthfeel is all wrong.
Nobody on earth thinks drinking black coffee is tough except people who do it until someone else pulls them aside and clarifies that it's not a shortcut to becoming Johnny Cash.

I drink coffee black because I think it tastes best that way.
You can keep your mouthfeel to yourself, what happens between you and your gentleman callers is your own business.

From what you've described I doubt you'll have a problem there. I'd be very surprised if they didn't let you start at Calc 1.

I saw a picture of a cow breed that couldn't produce myostatin. Terrifying thing to see. Did make me a little hungry however.
