Looking through paper exams. Doing my basic grading thing, which includes marking in a way that is tamper-resistant in case of after-the-fact grade modifications. Then I realized I have not seen any evidence of this for a few years. I used to reliably get maybe one student a year who would bring back a marked paper and try to claim I had counted points wrong when they had actually changed marks. Nobody does that anymore. The children have forgotten the lore of the previous generations.

I get why people are saying Trump is a pedophile: ignorance and a desire to say words that sound as harsh as the horrific person he is. He's not a pedophile, of course. I don't know why we don't just say "child molester", "rapist," or "child rapist," all of which he is, by a huge mountain of evidence.

I object from time to time, and I assume many pedophiles do, as well. Many pedophiles live lives of extreme self-control, committed to never touching a child inappropriately. By contrast, I don't think Trump has denied himself anything in his long, disgusting life.

Did RStudio's last update change something, or did I change something in my RStudio environment? As of today, plots made in the IDE are low-resolution. When clicking "zoom" in the plot window, the resolution doesn't increase; everything is blurry.

Yesterday I ran some knitr() stuff (just knitting some .Rmd documents), and I changed my code editor color scheme from one of the presets to another one of them. If anyone knows whether RStudio changed settings (26.01.1 build 403), let me know. I suspect they didn't break their own product and I've somehow changed settings from running code.

My kid's parents:

Me - The organizational skills of three separate raccoons, each with a different substance use disorder. Tidying habits & skills: very few, despite a lifetime of trying.

Her mother - Doesn't understand why anyone would own more than 12 things or leave them in places they don't belong. Tidying habits & skills: very few because who needs them when you don't make messes?

My daughter never stood a chance.
