Ok it would actually be quite funny and morally acceptable if both quarterbacks just turned the ball over every drive for the rest of the game

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

If I have a Canvas assignment, I can write down scores for all my students in a csv and then upload the csv. Say I have a Canvas assignment where I'm attaching learning outcomes via a rubric. Is there a way to write the students' rubric *scores* in csv and then upload *that* to canvas?

There is no safe way for researchers to use the systems provided by OpenAI, Anthropic, or any of these other companies. They have all admitted that plagiarism is an integral component of what they do. If you put your work in – even if it's just to touch up a manuscript – they will take it.

hey can you guess Utah’s record in its last 18 games? if you said 16-2, you’re right. the Utes are averaging 41 points, allowing 17 in that span. just beating up opponents with metal bats game after game.
