my mind will wonder

Wonder what? Wonder how in hell you can tie your own shoelaces?

Would it be OK for me to say I was going to hunt you down, torture you, then kill you slowly?

Is it a credible threat? That depends on a lot of things. Have you made threats like that before and followed them up? Do you have the capacity to do so?

If that's no and no you're just a blowhard. Same as him.

I wasn't aware the UK, Germany & France had H1B schemes. Come on, I mentioned foreign languages, it clearly wasn't about the US...

I know this guy who works for a recruitment firm. His theory is that it's just ass covering. Everyone puts in a ridiculous stipulation. Pragmatism wins, and they hire somebody anyway. If he doesn't work out, then it's not my fault, I told you Capricorns|flautists|redheads are useless at Java 17.6!

Greece borrows a fuckton of money, pisses it up the wall and then throws a massive sulk when asked to pay it back. Meanwhile Germany makes stuff that people want to buy.

Just who's being subjugated here?

But note that science has to figure things out come before engineering can implement them.

Not really. Brewing (which is a primitive from of Biochemical Engineering) was around before people even knew what microbes were. Blacksmithing long predates metallurgy.

We've always been on a collision course with Andromeda.

Yep, it was written in Java.

The first billion went while they were waiting for Eclipse to open.

It might work, but only if the boffins get it hopelessly wrong first despite all their fancy-pants book larnin'.

Nope, I don't see a unit of time in there, sorry.

P.S. you're all being trolled.
