There's really only two Darwin books most people would be able to identify, so I too would have assumed most people would recognize it.

Ah! I should try export! Thanks!

Fun fact: rabbit and bird bones make really good beads!

People, I have written my very first manuscript focused on student success in higher ed, instead of, you know, archaeology. This is a major turning point in my career! Also, I'm not sure if it has any merit whatsoever. Anyone want to read 5k words on the concept of belonging?

I had to read this a few times because, in fact, as an archaeologist who specializes in animal bones, I have spent a not-inconsiderable amount of time looking at jewelry made from bones. I wasn't sure what your point was until I realized, "Oh, right. Bones are not normal for most people." LOL

I’m awful at Concur. I just assume I’ll need to meet with someone who understands it.

The option exists on the PC as well, but all it does is start an endless cycle of "calling the printer". It used to save as a PDF, back in the good old days.

Does Word no longer allow you to save a doc as a PDF, or is it just my hate/hate relationship with Microsoft?

Ah! I rhyme snooker with cooker or looker. Not sure what your accent is but for me the long o is less an oooooo and more an uh. But not quite that either. Hard to write it out!

It does seem to have worked, thank goodness. I disabled it through Office360. I was using Edge, for my sins. lol.

The first part sounds like the beginning of “snoot”

I’d never heard a Brit say “snooker” before. I was not prepared.

Thank you! I honestly don't know where the issue was, but I tried looking for "text predictions" and a window popped up letting me disable that feature. It was clearly buggy as all heck, so hopefully that actually worked.

Please! I'd love a guess! This is absolutely baffling to me.

That example makes it look like the last letter of the word needs to be the first letter of the second word, but it doesn't. Word is adding random "ing"s to some of my words, if I'm not careful. Like, "writinging"

To clarify, I think it's only happening on the browser version. I start to type, say, "success". After I've typed the word, a greyed out "urprise" might show up. If I hit tab, the document would now read "successurprise".

Driving. Me. Batty.

For the past week, MS Word has been suggesting autocompletes for words that are incomplete and in the wrong location. Turning off autocomplete in the settings doesn't fix the problem. Does anyone know a solution other than yeeting Microsoft off of my computer?

The story of ed tech is a repeated loop of massive hype and massive disappointment

See MOOCs, and now AI

Evidence can interrupt this unproductive cycle

The Stanford SCALE Initiative, led by rock star Prof Susanna Loeb, brings evidence to the conversation scale.stanford.edu/sites/defaul...

Experts: New Accreditation Rules Threaten Academic Freedom The draft proposals, up for discussion this week, could change how accreditors oversee colleges and what they measure, but some say they violate existing federal law.

The Trump admin’s rewriting of rules governing college accreditation “obliterates” autonomy & is is being described as “a cluster bomb being dropped on American higher education.”

I took the damn cybersecurity course more than a month ago. I know because I complained about it at the time, in writing. Now it shows as not finished. And I need to do it again. After taking the pre-screening and get 96%. Again.

Yeah, A2 got hit hard!

My sister in Christ, I have some bad news for you.

Most importantly, he's found a supportive group of kids to replace his ridiculously toxic previous friend group.

Honestly, I have the best kids. OK, I'll stop now. Still, they're just the best. 3/3

He's taking AP Chem, AP Lang, piano, some required things, and Calc II/Calc III at MSU. 13yo has gone from struggling every day to excelling at everything he does. And he did it himself, not because we were policing his homework but because he wanted to do it. 2/

I'm so ridiculously proud of my kids. 19yo is following her heart, despite the uncertainty of the path forward. She'll be doing an archaeological fieldschool this summer! 16yo has decided his schedule for next year, pushing forward entirely on his own volition. (we argued for less work!) 1/

The banks of the Red Cedar with water all the way to the sidewalk. There are partially submerged trees in the middle ground. In the back is a bridge.

The Red Cedar keeps rising. If we get more water I’ll be swimming to work.

At this point in the news cycle, I need the media to understand that Evangelicals and Catholics have always had a fraught relationship. So, no, folks raised to think the Pope was the anti-Christ are not going to be offended by anyone criticizing His Holiness.
