Plagiarism detectors aren't meant to be used in lieu of critical evaluation. They find suspected plagiarized passages and supply links to what they think is the original text. Then you as the professor are supposed to evaluate whether it really counts as plagiarism. You can tell the detector to ignore certain parts that pass your scrutiny and rerun the analysis.

When I was teaching, I always included a "drafts only" TurnItIn link that was for the express purpose of students checking their own work for plagiarism. They were supposed to run it through TurnItIn, evaluate what it picked up on, fix whatever issues were present, and then when their paper was in a good place with no plagiarism, they could submit it to the real TurnItIn link for me to grade. This was to the students' benefit because they couldn't be surprised by the results, and also to my benefit because with this system students had no excuse for submitting any plagiarized material. The diligent students used this system. Lots of lazy students did not, and when I found plagiarism I was not lenient because they'd had every opportunity to avoid it. (And also because it's fucking grad school, and I had no patience for their fuckery.)

Yeah and also, sometimes it's really hard to find NMIC products.

What about orange creamsicles?

Different strokes for different folks, but for me personally, absolutely not. I'm married anyway but if I were single and looking to date, I would completely avoid people with kids. I just don't enjoy them and wouldn't want them in my life. Plus it would be unfair to the kids!

I wonder if this was from Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy, the scene in the briefing room when the Doctor daydreams that all the female crew are flirting with him. Seven doesn't sit in chairs super often but I think she does in that scene.

Vinegar is great when washing pet laundry like blankets and bed covers.

Trans women are women, full stop! And so yes they can be lesbians, and yes they deserve love respect hugs and fluffy animals. And even though I'm not sure what zebras are in this context, in general zebras are cool stripey boiz & galz so thumbs up to them and their stripey gum too.

Oh yeah? Well I'm a universe-class master astrologer, third degree.

Nobody did better than 5/12. And looking at the average, most didn't even come close to that.

Since the last release, I find that gifs won't play in Jerboa anymore. For example, this comment just appears as a static image for me, even when I click on it. Do you see the same behavior?

Edit: solved by user merde alors:

did you enable "auto play GIFs" in settings>look&feel ?

Then close and reopen the app and that should fix it.

The Visitor (startrek.website)

I recently had surgery and while I recover, I've been doing a DS9 rewatch. I just watched The Visitor and I swear, no matter how many times I see this episode, it's always a gut punch. What a beautiful, sad story. Is it even possible to watch it without crying? I almost skipped it because I didn't want to cry today :'(

A few weeks ago I posted that my greyhound Greta was in the hospital, and so many of you left such nice comments and well wishes - thank you! She's been back home for a couple weeks now and is doing great.

Here she is with her latest bandage (featuring a G๐Ÿ’š decoration because my vet's office is the best!):

Jerboa devs, thank you so much for the latest updates - I'm really digging the swipe-to-vote functionality! I do find that it's a little too sensitive and registers votes when I'm simply trying to scroll up or down in my feed or a comments section. I guess I don't always scroll in a perfectly vertical path. Would it be possible to decrease the sensitivity for the swipe-to-vote - maybe requiring a greater deviation from the vertical before a vote registers?

Another really helpful feature would be to add vote indicators to the right of comments - the entire rightmost edge of the comment could have a color matching the vote I gave it, or no color if I haven't voted. Often if I'm reading a long comment I upvote it halfway through, then by the end of the comment I can't remember if I've voted so I have to either long-press or scroll back up to find out. Color indicators in the margin would be helpful!

My little old lady is in the doggo hospital right now (she will be fine) and I miss her and her sweet lil pointy face.

Please share pics of your dogs to cheer me up, especially if there are any grey owners here!

I've always had pretty nice, low-maintenance skin but now that I'm in my forties I find it needs extra attention. One thing I'd really like to improve is getting the glassy look. It seems like most women who achieve this are pretty young and/or on tret. I don't want to try tret because I'm very pale and already sun-sensitive. (At this point I've lost count of how many atypical things my dermatologist has lopped off, despite religiously using mineral sunscreen!)

My current skincare routine is here. It's definitely made a difference for me but I'm looking to refine it.

What can I tweak to get glass skin? Or is it even possible at my age without tret?
