The head of France’s government is going to be hanging out at my institution today.
very cool!
Laissez les bon temps rouler. Looking up the correct spelling, I learned that this phrase is a calque, and that a calque, also known as a loan translation, is a literal word for word translation of a phrase or idiom into another language. In the immortal words of famed educator Emil Faber, "Knowledge is good."
Wait, I thought greed is good?
Maybe. But Faber lent his name to one of the nation's premier edumacational institutions.
Pretty bizarre 24 hours for me:
I lost a jury trial (you might have noticed a Wordle theme I was using this week) with a half million dollar verdict. Then, I got a promotion.
Congratulations and bummers are in order!
This wasn't the Blue Earth County one, was it?
Nope, breach of contract up in Rhubard's neck of the woods
He's obviously a great pitcher when healthy, and obviously the "when healthy" part is the tricky bit. He's also going to turn thirty-five this season. There are clearly ways this could go bad for them, but on the other hand, if you don't take a shot, you'll never get anyplace.
MLBTR predicted three years and $135 million. I'm impressed he managed two extra years plus an option year.
Not "If I Buy Coffee For You"
