It's entirely possible for almost everyone to be above average. For example, in a group of 100 if 98 have equal skill and 2 suck horribly then those 98 will ALL be above average.

Just like with drugs they go after the users, then they turn on the dealers, and then they turn on the producers. Gotta work your way up.
This would be like a self-storage site that had a drug sniffing dog.
So you expected to paste something else but instead you copied another tab with WebMD open. Could have been worse I guess.
I think you mean episode 3 or 4.
Maybe he should attend a course at a local computer store and they'll show him how to put a shortcut to "The Google" on his desktop.

This whackadoodle crap is the quality reporting we now get on Slashdot.
I wouldn't call the flower garden in front of the old age hospital a lawn.
The strength and martial properties of medals comes from the arrangement of the crystal lattices. These are things that 3D printing cannot do.

Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...
Leon: What one?
Holden: What?
Leon: What desert?
Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical.
Leon: But, how come I'd be there?
Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you...
Leon: Tortoise? What's that?
Holden: [irritated by Leon's interruptions] You know what a turtle is?
Leon: Of course!
Holden: Same thing.
Leon: I've never seen a turtle... But I understand what you mean.
Holden: You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon.
Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you?
Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
Leon: [angry at the suggestion] What do you mean, I'm not helping?
Holden: I mean: you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?
[Leon has become visibly shaken]
Holden: They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?
