Comment Degree Isn't related to the Major (Score 1) 75

https://www.washingtonpost.com...

This is old (2013) but if what you go for doesn't match what you're doing then theoretically its a waste.

Additional points
1. College is for learning to think not learning a job, so does it matter if the degree doesn't match the work
2. Another study said its a higher percentage that relates to the major for graduate or professional degree, vs Bachelor

The thing I don't see anyone talking about is, afaik, when they unbundled teams from their licenses they raised their rates. So now having teams + office is more expensive than when it was bundled.

People that have the original license with teams included in office is cheaper, so they'll never switch, since you can't get those licenses again if you cancel them.

And the price of a teams license was probably carefully calculated to be less than any of their competitors.

I gotta say; you can get right out with the Samsung A line.
It may have changed recently but they've always been so underpowered as to not be worth the rest of the hardware they're made with. (mainly the RAM i think being so underwhelming you might as well only open 1 app)
I've got the S9 FE right now and its super great; but it also happens to currently be on a super deal. I paid $588.09 on March 3rd for it, so saying todays a great deal isn't representative.
and the Tab S6 is from 2020 which means its almost done with updates, so that's shite for its longevitiy

I've got to say; that the CEO's emails aside. Presumably all these documents are in SharePoint and that lets you go and find all these documents right from your Edge Browser and Bing Search that Microsoft is pushing on people without paying $360 a year on it.

This just happens to have a broader reach for things that non-specifically search for some data.

I think you are seriously underestimating what a challenging condo location is.
Note; I _now_ have an electric car and I live in a house. I couldn't have had one when I lived in my condo.

Here are the issues I would have had at my condo
1. it wasn't quite onstreet parking; but it was a private road with no assigned parking.
2. electric was providd separately to each unit; to get power, i would have had to had a subpanel run out the front of the house, underground whatever the requisite depth would be to then tunnel under said private street as we were only allowed to park on one side; which happed to be not the side my condo was on
3.) putting the plug in would then have needed approval from the condo board to be put on "my neighbors law" (it was communal lawn and groundskeeping)
4.) back to item #1; I don't know how I would have prevented anyone from then charging and using my power from my house to charge their car, i'm not that much of a good samaritan to provide anyone in the neighborhood a free charge.

Having a majority does not mean control of Congress; you are not including the ability to filibuster.

Giving them 48 D + 2 Independents on July 7, 2009 until August 25, 2009 is actually less than two months.

Looks like they had it again from: September 25, 2009 to February 4, 2010 for another 4 months.
