Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've done classes on both Coursera and EdX (mostly palaeontology on the former, Chinese history on the latter. I think Hil's used another MOOC provider too.
I've used Coursera and Udacity. I liked Coursera for more humanities-ish things, but Udacity had a much better system for learning programming.

That almost makes me want to go back on Twitter.
I'm not really on Twitter, but I do read certain threads!
Go msbelle I hope you have good luck.
I keep getting messaged by guys that either habe they want kids in their profile or talk about it after messaging me. I have it indicated 2x. Once where you could pick that and also in my profile.
I'm open to someone with kids but I'm not having kids.
I don't know if it' WORSE than writing an online dating profile, but self-evaluations at work are up there.
That's what I'm supposed to be doing now. That or other people's evaluations. Guess what I am not doing!!
On the upside, I got a nice compliment on an email I drafted for someone, and then he wrote back to correct "Jess" to "Jesse"! Which is probably because he has an oddly-spelled name himself, but I appreciated it.
OK, this is a minor issue, but I'd appreciate input from the hivemind. I rarely use a hair dryer - my hair is short and I usually let it air dry. However, sometimes I do need to use one. The one I had for years (and years) was a small Sunbeam - I think it may have been designed for travel, since it had a little button that you could use to switch voltages. Well, the little button popped off, the handle tended to separate and the last time I used it, I saw sparking inside through where the button had been. Not wanting to electrocute myself or short out the electricity, I dumped the dryer.
Now I need a new one. I've looked but I run into the fact that every new dryer I look at has one of those big plugs (can't remember what they're called) - they have a test/reset feature. I know it's a safety feature, but I live in an old building and the outlet in my bathroom (where I prefer to dry my hair) is in the light fixture over the mirror. It's close to the wall and I can't plug one of those big ones in there - the space between the wall and the light cover (the outlet is right between them) is too small.
Has anyone seen a hair dryer that has a plain, old two-prong plug?
I think in that situation, I've just used an extension cord.
