@inthehands @mattly I am nearly always frustrated with CSS when trying to do a two column layout, and almost always fall back to a TABLE because I am caveman designer. Perhaps @Meyerweb has some wisdom to share?

@inthehands One observation from my experience. My freshman year of university, we started with 60 of us in “Honors Calculus” and finished the first quarter with 8 students in the class. It was a tough class, but the instructor had done it before and had grade brackets figured out for his material from previous years. The 8 of us finished with A and B, and I think the class mean was about 3.4. All well and good. 1/2

@inthehands The problems came in future years. 4-6 of us were Physics majors (depending on the year) and registered for courses together. For calc and physics courses, we tended to “wreck the curve.” One of the 2nd year physics courses has 5 people with a final average around 90%, and the next highest score was 40%. It was a tough course (honors freshman physics was a pre-req), but how does a prof grade a bimodal distribution like that without making someone feel cheated? 2/2

@inthehands @jongary Target used to be one of my fave retailers. A few months ago, we went into the one here in Santa Fe, and couldn’t find a single red-shirted human. It was like a zombie apocalypse of Target employees. Watched one guy with some expensive electronic package in his hands walk to the cashiers, look around and see nobody around, shrug and just walk out with it. Alarms went off, but still no employees appeared.

We haven’t been back. I’ll buy my t.p. elsewhere.

@inthehands And TouchID on the back, pretty please!
