Please feel free to sound off in the comments about my dumbest suspensions — I'm sure I've forgotten half of them.

Biz: should I tell them to stop or should that come from legal?

A thread on asking questions in math talks.
This week I was at a 60th birthday conference, the first in-person conference I've been to since Covid that's more or less in my field, and I decided to do something radical: I decided to ask questions.

this is one area in which genre fiction undoubtedly has the upper hand because a book about "what if you fell in love with a werecentaur" 100% will have "What If You Fell In Love With A Werecentaur" on the cover, like, front and center

per the complaint: the claim that the mac & cheese will be ready in 3½ minutes is false & misleading. by the time you remove the lid, add water, microwave 3½ minutes, & stir, it's impossible for the mac & cheese to be ready in just 3½ minutes total.
