Just got an email that my finance professor was positive for COVID last class. Thankfully I didn't feel like going that ONE night and caught it on zoom instead.

Great minds! Great, pedantic, minds.

Given how long people are asymptomatic and shedding, how do you know it was only one evening where you could have been exposed?
On walkabout. Back soonish.

@just-jeepin its a once a week class.

@poor_sh I believe the saying is, 'great minds, think alike; fools, seldom differ'. Lol.

@HammerheadFistpunch My campus has been online only since last semester. The benefit of being in a program run by former public health officials. Had one professor get really sick in the Spring, and the first case in our state was a fellow student back in January. I've had a handful of students test positive, but thankfully were caught before coming to campus.

That's super confusing... ok so:
Great minds think alike = smart people think the same thing
Fools seldom differ = dumb people think the same thing
So how do you differentiate between the two?14' Cayman S | 99' Miata | 20' Macan GTS

That was close. Stay safe out there, y'all. It's more dangerous than it was a month ago right now.

@hammerheadfistpunch Finance, schminance. In engineering we just had one course called Plant Economics. It was short - make sure your products sell for enough to cover feedstocks and running the plant. Let someone else figure out how to finance it.

@just-jeepin He only started showing symptoms the day after class, so it would be very unlikely.
-
@poor_sh Lol. That's the thing. You don't.

So how do you differentiate between the two?That's kind of the point; often you can't.

Anyway as far as sayings goes I like learning the rest of ones people have shortened like that as it often changes the meaning. E.g. Jack of all trades master of none, but often times better than a master of one.

Another thing to keep in mind is that just because it's a saying, doesn't mean it's true.

But it was on the internet....

@alfalfa
I feel your over analysing this. It's a saying.
It doesn't have to be factual, just thought provoking, inciteful, funny, etc... -

I love pointing out the full sayings when people use them opposite their meaning.
My favorite is when people say they did a "complete 360"
-
@mastermario the X-Box 360! We're right back where we started! Oh wait...
