My physics background makes my head immediately go to tenths, not utter devastation.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I don't see any reason to think that no one will ever want to say "a small (but not unnoticeable) portion was eliminated" in one word. I like having words for stuff.

I understand this meaning, but using it as 1/10 killed makes my head spin, becase then we wold have to do math.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

becase then we wold have to do math.

But it's the decimal system. Who's never slid a point over?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

but using it as 1/10 killed

One-tenth killed is still mostly alive.

I meant to say this earlier, Amy was AWESOME to talk to my students today. Even though we were being thwarted by technology. Thanks, Amy!

Did Bed Bath and Beyond stop giving out coupons, or did I just fall off the list for using every single one on every single trip to their store? Or some other similarly heinous crime?

Okay, tonight's implementation already has a problem, but at least it's in a bit with slack. Nothing is crunch until 3AM Sunday morning. And I'm gambling we'll be done within at least a few hours of targeted time, so I can make it to the ER in a reasonable window.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Just did my tax return. I've never owed money before. I don't know why it happened!

We haven't gotten coupons from Bloodbath and Beyond in about two years. But fill out this form [link] and you'll get one via email.
