Uhm, no because only the mentally ill wants to die, and most people don’t want to kill anyone else

I really don’t understand how this works under the one China policy.

surprised this wasn’t a lemmygrad user

it’s been a long time…

Tesla numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt. There are so few drivers it is easy too easy for a few outliers to mess this up.

luckily for you all there is no where worth driving in Europe.

grrr…why so many podcoasts these days? One of the things I appreciate about NPR & misses.org is they, eventually, post full transcripts of their podcasts online. (Either they have really good speech to text technology, or it scurinizetley edited by humans.)

looks like we found the southerner who calls every cold drink a Coke.

I don’t understand how anyone can choose to watch 4K. maybe I’m just so cheap I tell myself I can not tell the difference, but anything higher than 480P just feels like overkill to sell more bandwidth and overpriced hardware.

I don’t think minimum wage is intended to be enough to live on. If you start working as a teenager by the time you have to pay your living expenses it would be quite doubtful that you are still making minimum wage.

Then again, as they say, your milage may vary. In my part of the world there might as well be no minimum wage as even the most entry level positions are offering nearly double the minimum wage.

I saw this in my feed and I thought it was a sponsored ad and then I remembered I was on lemmy

/u/AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world I am pleasantly surprised that Simpson is the name of a mathematician and not some pop-science based on Homer & Bart.

I think we have different ideas of what “no cost” means, unless I’m incorrect and that university professors and support staff in Europe are volunteers.

and I have one without a STEM degree. And I’m personally amazed how many of my engineering colleagues who have, often advanced, degrees who seem absolutely clueless.

I don’t know mate. I studied Political Science and Outdoor Recreation when I was in university, and when I got out I jumped from non-profit to non-profit making a difference and doing what I loved, all while needing to work 1 or more additional jobs to pay my bills, eventually taking a call center job instead, that taught me technical skills that allow me to now make good money in a corporate environment, which allows me to finally have enough free time to do what I actually want to do and enough money to donate to causes I care about.

Yeah the North American higher education industrial complex is a scam. To the point that a lot of the better paying jobs (doctor, nurse, etc.) include having requirements to pay the school to work for a time without getting paid AND they forbid you from having an additional job at the same time, it sure seems to me like they are trying to make sure that “lower class” people never get in those kinds of jobs. Unless your parents are rich, you aren’t going to be able to do that.

You sure sound like someone from the marketing department of a university. Making college “free” would need a heck of a lot of other changes to go along with it, or we will only have even more educated idiots than we do now.
