It's bullshit advice in general anyway. My dad thought he was friends with some guy who was an exec who worked for Diversey-Lever (initials J.L.) and he gave me "his" number to call to allegedly get an interview. So I called up about it and got a receptionist who I couldn't get past, and never got a call back. People like that don't have friends, just people they can use, and they have people in between to protect them from people who think they are their friends.

They don't have the exact same upbringing, in particular first and second siblings are typically treated differently in a number of ways. They also are not the same person, and different people are able to take advantage of different opportunities for multiple reasons — not all people have the preparation to take the same opportunities, and not all people will have the same opportunities handed to them. So no, you are factually incorrect, they did not have the exact same upbringing, and even if they did that would only be partially relevant.

Logic, you fail it.

Oh look, more clown shit. The government provided more funding to those schools instead of offering predatory loans directly to students, so the tuition was a lot cheaper for the student, because so much of the cost was paid before they were billed.

You fail at facts, too.

Modern life as we know it is completely impossible without cooperation. Even the most trivial of finished goods require the input of hundreds or thousands of people. It is also be competitive, but it is inherently cooperative, and there's no reason not to make it moreso just to make the bootstrap pulling, boot licking crowd satisfied.

That's what you are now. They are called CEOs and politicians.

You used to be able to store phone directories on SIM cards, albeit not with very many entries. On my Motorola Triplets and RAZR phones (original RAZR obviously, not the ones where they reused the name) you could easily choose whether you wanted them stored on SIM or locally. Maybe they don't know how to process strings, though, only store them. Or did they remove that functionality? I haven't tried to use it in many years, so I wouldn't know personally. Looking around I see that sometimes even SMS was stored on them?

My understanding is that in many (most?) countries outside the US EULA's have no legal authority unless you agree to them before purchase. If you buy some software and then, after the fact, you then have to agree to some random crap in order to be able to run it that's not a legal contract so you have no agreement.

This was decided by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures which manages SI units. However, this definition is no longer sufficient since Caesium clocks are much less accurate than the current generation of ion clocks like the one in the paper. I believe there is a process underway to redefine the second more precisely presumably using this new technology since the Caesium-based definition is no longer sufficiently accurate, so in this case you are more worried about precision since your accuracy is limited by the definition.

In terms of measuring the precision I suspect they do this by measuring the stability of the frequency produced. Naively I'd do this by having two clocks produce signals and then have them interfere and look for changes in the itnerference pattern since if one frequency changes relative to the other it should produce easily observed changes. However, I do not work in this area and at this level of precision they may have much better ways to do things but I suspect, whatever the actual method, it will be comparing two of the same clock against each other and looking for frequency drifts between them since if the frequency changes it will affect the precision.

Yeah, I do have that same shit. It's not a driver problem though, it's a too much bullshit problem. The management agent on my PC sometimes goes rogue and starts using up CPU to an extent which not only causes the fan to throttle up, but actually causes perceptible performance degradation — Even the GUI itself is affected, perhaps exacerbated by the fact that it's an intel-based laptop with integrated graphics. (HP had the gall to sell this fucker as an Elitebook, which used to mean something. Not quality, but at least power. My last Elitebook had a core 2 duo and discrete Nvidia quadro graphics.)

Oh, silly me. How could I make that mistake. You are of course correct. Let me fix that for you.

Listing it is the right thing to do. That doesn't make it the proximate cause of death if the person dies, though. The folks who crunch the numbers know how to tell the difference between dying with COVID and dying from COVID. That's how we know that COVID caused a huge surge in strokes and heart attacks that, if we were using your approach, would not have been counted, because they don't look like deaths from COVID, and yet the statistics on their timing show that the excess clotting that caused them is, in fact, caused by (or at least triggered by) COVID or other viral diseases.

Did that address your concern?

:-D

Today the site is all goofy, at least on mobile. No comment count updates, comments are sorted incorrectly...

A lot of the advice is unsolicited. The parents are acting like the kids have something wrong with them because what worked for them isn't working for their kids.

Submit some other material then.

They won't accept it but at least you will feel like one of us
