A student approached me and asked for a stamp. He said that his professor, whom I know is not, shall we say, computer literate, insisted on receiving a self-addressed stamped envelope if he wanted the grade mailed in. The professor does not use email.
It took a bit of effort, but I found a stamp. I then had to teach the student how to address an envelope, as he apparently was unfamiliar with the task.
It was an astonishing meeting of two extreme ends of technological competence.

When I can't sleep, I think about all the things that have gone wrong in my life and what I could have done to prevent them.
I mean, I shouldn't do that when I can't sleep. But I do.

My father, a petrochemical engineer, advised always buying premium gas. He said that impurities in crude oil are disposed of by refineries in proportions relative to the grade of gas, so premium has has less stray carbon in the mixture to adhere to the engine. Premium gas is cleaner and so prolongs the life of the engine.

I have never done this kind of display (more of a public library thing, and it's been many years since I've worked in public library), but I've seen it done.
I remember when in library school, I once asked a librarian to help me find a rare book that I knew only by a description of the cover. She found it for me and ordered it through interlibrary loan. I was deeply impressed.
Personally, I rarely get challenges like this and love them. We librarians act out of our prehistoric hunting instincts. Our prey is unusual sources of information.

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, feebly? Children's ice cream!

This is why it's important to keep your waifu in dakimakura format. One's relationship should always be apocalypse-proof.

I definitely have had nowhere close to 2 drinks per day for the past year, so I'd better get to work if I want to keep that quota for 2019.

We'll just have to make another one.

I'm skeptical that publicly humiliating your teenage daughter will have a productive outcome.

When I teach media literacy at my college library, I directly teach that there's no such thing as objectivity (including in my own instruction on the subject) and that one should not be overly-concerned about bias. It's concealed bias that is hazardous. If you know the agenda or bias, you can take it into account when using the information source.
Anecdata: lately, I've noticed students using the adjective "biased" to refer to sources of information that are defective for other reasons. If a source is out of date, confusing, irrelevant, or unverifiable, it's "biased".

They neglected to include Neatorama.
