Nursing for one. It used to be that you could graduate with a BS in nursing, basically throw a dart at a map, and find 2-3 hospitals/doctors in that random town willing to fight over you. From what I understand, that is no longer the case, and a lot of nurses (particularly new graduates) are actually having to work to find a job these days. Article about it here.
Are there even any "real skills" fields left with a decent job market these days? Seems like I hear complaints from every field these days about not enough jobs for graduates, even in the medical fields.
If she's attacking the CIA, she's probably a terrorist. Better cuff her and get her on a plane to Gitmo. Better safe than sorry when it comes to national security.
I personally have no problem with someone editing an article on themselves as long as they're accurate, fair, and open about it. Should a company or individual be obligated to allow inaccurate information about them to remain in an article even when they KNOW it's inaccurate?
It's a local pissing contest. It's been going on for decades now, and this is just the latest round. If you think the Ukrainians are just a bunch of innocent noble heroes, then you obviously don't know the first thing about that country. There are no heroes in this story, and attempting to create them through willful delusion will only make things worse.
And if we had adopted that view when the USSR invaded Afghanistan in 1979, we'd likely be living in a nuclear wasteland today. Not every invasion warrants a world war, and not every aggressive leader is the next Hitler.
I shudder to think what the world would look like today if Putin had decided that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was a sign that President Bush was the next Hitler.
What always made math so hard for me weren't the concepts themselves, it was my speed at processing math problems in my head. If I could have had unlimited time, I could have scored an "A" on every test. Unfortunately, most math tests are time-limited and my speed at processing problems always seemed to lag behind everyone else, which left me a wreck on tests (but with an "A+" on every homework assignment). I could answer 20 questions perfectly in the time allotted, and not answer the next 20 questions at all; or I could rush through the test a nervous wreck and barely pass (obviously I chose the latter). When I finally was able to take some online math classes at my university, I went from struggling to get C's in my math courses to getting an A in every one (the tests for the online courses weren't timed).
So my suggestion is that, if you really want to see a jump in math skills, start placing more emphasis on learning the concepts and less emphasis on how fast students can process problems. Allow students unlimited time on tests if they want it (maybe give them the option of taking tests after school instead of in class). It will give a lot of students like me a lot more confidence in themselves once they realize that they're not fucking stupid or "just bad at math"--that they're just slower, more deliberate, and more thoughtful.
I'm not joking. If this thing landed at some tiny landing strip in the boonies with a serious electrical problem (or having been hijacked), it could just be sitting somewhere. Not likely, but I wouldn't rule it out.
I guess they could just do like the U.S., and illegally invade an entire country. Since the U.S. invasion of Iraq was also illegal, I'm sure you would have supported Putin just handing over a bunch of nukes to Saddam Hussein, of course. Hey, it makes the world a safer place when the little guys have a way to fight back against the big evil superpowers, right?
But if you have such a hard-on to go fight the evil Russians, please don't let any of us stop you. Head on over to Ukraine and join up! I hear they're recruiting.

You want the privilege of naming? No problem. But you have to get there first. Put up or shut up, bitch.
And no real oversight for anyone to actually call you on your incompetence.
Maybe it will help us develop nuclear fusion.
Yes, because we all know how much Republicans hate the big 3 car companies and just LOVE Tesla. I'm anxiously holding my breath for them to step in.
HR departments are the bane of modern business.

Not according to companies. If you listen to them, there isn't anyone who's qualified for their positions which is why they have a worker shortage.
They mean a shortage of H-1B visa workers.

Everyone's a comedian these days.

I have it on good authority that she's also a banker butt-licker with no fucking heart.
I hope I never live in a world where you can't even trust the CIA to be honest with you.

It almost seems like it's finally going to happen
Not on your distro. Sorry.
I can't wait for Ryse's publisher to port it to Linux!
The guy at Best Buy told me they were the best.

Except over time, with practice, speed on the lower-level stuff does build. It's the new stuff that takes time to process.

Yes, it's a synonym for crazy.

I didn't say it was a *successful* landing.

Sometimes big airliners can get lost at those.
