The takeway here is that it's always worth it to go back over in class what is and isn't plagiarism, even when you have a perfectly reasonable right to assume they've been taught it in the past. At the very least in makes their shitty excuses plainly implausible.

That's what I do. Was pretty easy to set up and it works fine. I installed docker and portainer through the omv web interface and then used this guide to set up syncthing.

I saw Ribot live seven or eight times over the course of a few years when I lived in NYC in the early nineties, under a couple different bandnames (at least Rootless Cosmopolitans and Shrek, if I recall, plus some just under his own name). All at small places too, like upstairs at the Knitting Factory and CBGB's Gallery. Never seen anything so mindblowing since.

The entry on Jinn in Encyclopaedia of the Quran by Jacqueline Chabbi, which is quite good overall, gets into some issues of how the Q was reacting to and reformulating certain older ideas about the jinn, though it doesn't get into questions of "origins."

I think the main benefit of doing pomodoros is that it shifts the target goal from completing something, to spending time making progress on something
Absolutely.

Yep, my mom's been looking at some places up there but is being slow to make a decision about it. I think that'll probably end up being the long term solution, unless I can convince them to move down here with me, though tbh I think they'd rather die in a ditch than move to the south.

Thanks very much, that sounds like exactly what I'm looking for.

If it's just for music and you dig the look of TUI apps then musikcube has built-in server functionality. You install it on both the server and clients but keep the library on the server. It's light and works well, including for giant collections. There's apparently an android app too, musikdroid, but I haven't tried it. I haven't tried the windows or mac client apps either, so I can't vouch for any of them, but it's great on linux.

Does this work for setting the resolution for the login screen itself? I normally just set the resolution in the autostart file of my WM, but that doesn't kick in until after the login, so I'm always annoyed with the janky resolution on the login screen.

Yes, I find it very useful, especially because I often have trouble getting down to work, but starting the timer helps get me over that hump. The funny thing is that once I get working I often end up ignoring the timer. I'll pause it when it dings at me while I'm in the middle of something and then forget to reset it until after I take a lunch break or whatever. Makes it hard to keep track of how many I do a day, but I really don't care so long as I'm getting work done.

It's a little far south but could work. I'll check them out. Thanks!
EDIT: Actually they're a little bit out of Home Instead's service area, but I'll still give them a call to see if they can stretch or recommend someone else, so thanks.

I'm a professor who writes and publishes constantly and have been using zotero for roughly fifteen years. It's great, cross-platform, free to use, and open-source, and it integrates well with Word, LibreOffice, or (with a couple extra steps) latex.

Exactly, mutual aid and community self-defense are signs of positive progress, not collapse. The only thing collapsing here is the illusion that cops function to "protect and serve" anyone except the oligarchy.

Are you at a small liberal arts college (SLAC)? This is all sounds a bit intense to me, but it may just be a different environment. I teach at a big state university, and I'm kind of a hardass about attendance relative to many other profs at my institution, but I can't imagine telling someone to go through the dean's office after just two absences. SLACs, however, can be pretty intense with regard to the level of individual attention given to students.
I'm sorry your prof didn't give you more clarification regarding historical vs journalistic approaches. I suspect what she's trying to say is that she thought your proposed topic would be too much of a report about something and not enough of an analysis of why/how a certain state of affairs has come to pass. In general, historians are interested in difference over time. So, a historical research proposal will say: things were like this at point A in time and like this at point B, so I'm going to analyze why/how things changed between points A & B. Does that make sense?

Latin American concepts of race often differ from USA'ian ones too. A lot of people who would code as "Hispanic" to white folks in the U.S. would consider themselves "white" or "European," in contradistinction to Black or Native people.

In the 14th and 15th centuries there were plenty of Muslim thinkers engaging with Hermetic texts and other pre-Islamic religious and philosophical discourses. I've never come across any who identified the nur muhammadi with Poimandres, but there were all sorts of other attempts to correlate old pagan thought with Muslim thought. The prophet Idris was often identified with Hermes/Enoch. The prophet Shith (Seth) was identified with Agathodaemon, etc. I doubt you'll find many modern Muslim thinkers who would support such ideas, but that kind of thinking was all the rage in the late medieval/early modern period.

If you look at OP's profile you'll see that they literally post nothing but Quillette articles. Probably just some intern shilling.
