This reads like it was completely computer generated. Then again, I've known some women I would certainly describe as "glacial."

In Australia 'ice' is colloquially used to describe Meth.
Might be relevant gor Trump.

"I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible."

But, did you ascribe the adjective, "glacial," only after you were unable to melt them, and there was no run-off ?
«In art as in science there is no delight without the detail ... Let me repeat that unless these are thoroughly understood and remembered, all “general ideas” (so easily acquired, so profitably resold) must necessarily remain but worn passports allowing their bearers short cuts from one area of ignorance to another.» Vladimir Nabokov, commentary on translation of “Eugene Onegin.”

Does that refer to their mood or speed of thought? Or perhaps what seems to be the case here, both.

In a rational world, the author of this piece of drivel would be tarred, feathered, and run out of her university on a rail.
In our world, she'll probably be put on the short track to tenure.

Well that's one 'possibility space', certainly but let's not get too caught up in paradigmatic analysis too hastily lest we collapse the dialectic. It is essential that we lucubrate on perambulation before we envisage accelerated motion.

For years I was saying, that we value to much the research universities make...so we give too much money to run them and we end up with such idiotic results...

This sort of article just show how rich we have all become - we can afford to waste tens of thousands of dollars on people who couldn't express a coherent thought to save their lives.

The problem is that university tenure now depends so much on publishing rather than genuine results or teaching ability that lecturers and professors simply do not have time to reflect on their latest brilliants ideas. It has to be got down on paper and into a journal asap. It's quantity not quality that vice-chancellors and department heads will be totting up at the end of each academic year.

Tell me about that...
One of our customers, became an university (from collage) not too lately... It was some horrible place even before (they run for the research money to get the 'university' label), but now it is just catastrophic...

Another in our occasional series of new albums that I didn't think I'd enjoy but are getting more than a cursory second listening: Limitless by Tonight Alive
Sample track: To Be Free[^]
This is the second album by an Ozzie band which has got some criticism from the native rock press for the abandonment of punk elements in the first and for being too polished but you can't have everything. Bit of a genre defying outing with all kinds of influences (this track even suggests a bit of Little Big Town style country in places) but with a familiar pop/rock foundation (sometimes bordering on rock cliche but rescued by outstanding vocals).
Anyway, enjoy ... or not. There won't be a test!

Why, what does this have to do with rock?
It's just a nice and catchy pop song

That's the question they're asking. The band's initial reputation was built on a much harder, less pure, punk.

My dear wife and I hit a rough patch every time I "upgrade" her machine. Recently, when I converted her machine to Windows 10, she complained that the Edge browser was so very different from IE11, among other issues. So I offered to take her back to Windows 7. Then she said: "You're going to take away all these neat games that came with 10?!" I said: "Yes". And that was the end of the complaints about 10.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
