Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Oh Steph ... I know! I've gone through that a number of times with people writing for our magazine. They also have this cute trick of sending a story in a Word file or an e-mail with the images embedded and don't understand why I can't just use them as-is.

The big struggle I'm going through these days is trying to explain to people - one person in particular - that just because a page on our website looks fine on your computer (the website's hosted on-site, so it's on our LAN) doesn't mean that (1) it'll look the same on everyone else's and (2) bandwidth DOES matter.

I'm sort of surprised you're marking college level papers on hard copy in the first place.

For grad school (2005-2009) all papers and exams were hard copy. Everything.

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

a photo/image that one grabs off the internet is NOT going to be high enough resolution to print.

Well, you mean the ones they're grabbing off the internet aren't. I've gotten some lovely large photos off random google searches. Maybe just send them back until they come to you with images a certain size?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's because there's a lot more protein in yogurt than hummus, even more so if you have Greek yogurt. IIRC, Chobani has 15 grams of protein in a 6-oz container.

But 6 ounces is 12 tablespoons. If the hummus has 1 gram of protein per tablespoon of hummus, then 6 ounces would have 12 grams of protein, which is less than 15, but not a whole lot less. (Except that the tablespoons is volume, and the ounces is probably weight.)

OK, from [link] 100 grams of hummus has 8 grams of protein, and 100 grams of yogurt has 5 grams of protein. (That's 63 calories of yogurt, and 166 calories of hummus, so hummus has .048 grams of protein per calorie, and yogurt has .079 grams of protein per calorie.)

I have this same issue, Steph. Also, the people don't see the fuzziness when printed as any sort of problem.

OMG, y'all. So we walked down to the BMA and spent most of the day there. Walking back, right by the Y field, my dad and I hear a cat's cry. I turn and see a carrier on the other side of the fence. My heart drops. Sure enough, there's a kitten in the bushes. A black & white & calico and tabby tuxedo cat. Maybe 4 months old? 3?

Long story short, dad caught her pretty easily. She's in my basement front room. She LOVES attention. Pretty sure the carrier was just thrown over the fence, busted open, and she went to hide in the bushes, crying at anyone who passed by.

Will be taking her to the vet tomorrow. And trying to find her a home. I CANNOT HAVE 4 CATS. And I can't even imagine how hellacious integrating another cat would be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hello, earthquake!

Suela, did you feel it? It looks like it was centered right around Oakland/Berkeley.

eta: Ha, you did!

Over here it was very short but a good solid thumper. The whole building went brrrUNK.

Yeah, it made a lot more noise than they usually do. USGS doesn't have a magnitude yet. I'm thinking somewhere in the low 3s.
