no, the problem comes when the standard amount your career of choice used to make is severely decreased.
I have wasted many years of my life on tech. My girlfriend wasted many years of her life on telivision and film which are mostly outsourced now as well.
She has a four year degree she can't use plus student loan debt. I don't have a degree but many years of experience.
The problem is when you are carrying a reasonable amount of debt for your income level and then your income is forced down sharply where you cannot afford to pay it.
If it wasn't for the 99 cents store we would go hungry.
I think this country is going to learn the value of buying nothing on credit EVER AGAIN because there is no safe level of credit. You never know how far the economy can cut your income down to or when.
SPOIL the environment there. Send a simple probe containing dozens of cultures of bacteria and lichen that would most likely survive the environment and have it land in an area most suitable. If the environment is already contaminated. There won't be as much opposition. Besides, we're going to have to contaminate it one way or another unless we just never intend to colonize it which is just a waste.
Yeah it happens on vacations, on camping, or if youre stuck in a house on a reality show like last comic standing. Please! These people are pathetic! These are the sort of people who if society were to crumble they'd starve and die. Get a grip people!
now i just don't care. Theres no pay off for hard work anymore anyhow so why bother? You can bust your ass all you want and you still won't be cheaper than some indian out there who makes a fraction of your pay. I used to love my profession and corporations taught me to hate it. They used us up and spit us out. I'm much more interested in pursuing my other hobbies as a business. The only thing keeping me in computers is the need to pay off debt that i was previously able to afford.
It's not so much that the united states has a problem with offshoring jobs. The problem is when every company does it all at once and you take a massive economic hit. If this was done a hell of alot more gradual you would not be seeing such an uproar.
I can compete with foreign workers (i work my ass off), i just can't compete with the increasing industry-wide pay cut that has resulted where now I suddenly cannot afford to pay for existing debts that I could afford previously.
I'm already making plans for my girlfriend and I to move out of california now since it's just too expensive and there are increasingly less and less tech jobs here.
The division seems to be between people who own a home and those who don't. Everyone I see who doesn't own a home here already is struggling and the ones who do are taking vacations. I've pulled out my savings to go on 'vacation' to the east coast to look for work.
i wouldnt be suprised at all if we were onto something here. i also wonder how much the earth's magnetic field influences crystals you find in caves. there are quite a few crystals in caves that look identical to coral growth types. i wonder if its a relationship between the nature of calcium and the earth's magnetic field.
experiment with various odd metals with the exception of copper which is deadly to corals. They've found exceedingly rare species of coral growing on oil platforms out in the ocean due to the fact that these rare coral species could grow on the metal but other species could not which resulted in a competitive edge for the rare coral.
it already happens but people don't realize it. There are quite a few people with stray current from malfunctioning water pumps (powerheads) and such. What i'd like to know exactly is how much is too little and how much is too much? I'm sure theres a dropoff curve, youd probably want enough to irritate the corals and induce them to grow but too much would hinder their growth. Believe me i want to find out so my reef tank grows faster!
brought this up on reefs.org and i'm certain they're going to see how this could be used to grow out frags faster to sell to the hobbyist community. Theres lots of money to be made there and nowhere near enough coral.
phytoplankton blooms in a reef. Its what turns water green and blocks out the light. Iron seeding promotes algal growth. You typically want to use that in temperate regions instead of tropical. I've talked with some of the world's foremost coral experts and they said though that they thought it could be successfully used to pull greenhouse gasses out of the atmosphere though.
they found specific insecticides in the great barrier reef that were killing coral. The scientists located the companies that produced them, found the farmers that purchased them in specific quantities and then had to go far inland to tell them they were killing off the great barrier reef.
They had since gotten that situation under control but the fact remains that the farmers in north dakota are killing off all the corals in the caribbean and noone is doing anything about it. But its going to turn the water green and kill the tourism industry in the caribbean eventually. Apparently the water near the florida keys is already changing from its blue color to a greenish. The sad thing is that even if we stopped today, there is so much insecticide and fertilizers draining through the land between north dakota and the gulf that it would take decades to completely filter out. The way the reefs die is that the insecticides are weakening the coral which allows algae to gain a foothold. one the algae starts it gets fertilized by the fertilizer and takes over.
the slowing of reef growth has something to do with earth's waning magnetic field and this occurs naturally right before a pole flip?
Maybe the reason tank raised corals grow so well in home aquariums but dont propagate as easily in the wild is because with all those corals in proximity to each other in such a small water space they exchange the symbiotic bacteria quicker that allows them to tolerate more difficult conditions. i see some of my corals releasing them every night as brown stringy waste but to see them reuptaked into other corals you would need a microscope.
"Work is currently in progress to de-gas Lake Nyos. A pipe has been installed in the centre of the lake held in place by a raft attached to the shores by ropes. The pipe reaches 203m deep (the depth of the lake is 210m) and has valves at 0, 100 and 140m depths. When the valve at the surface is opened CO2 rich water from the bottom is released in a large plume from the top of the pipe due to the pressure difference between the deep water and the atmospheric pressure. If the fountain of water becomes too energetic the valves at 100m or 140m can be opened allowing gas-poor water to enter the pipe and mix with the gas-rich water. This reduces the energy of carbon dioxide coming out of solution and releases strain on the pipe."
has anyone considered using that lake as a power plant?
I've been there. I've busted my ass time and time again, working harder than my coworkers because i enjoyed what i was doing. I am definitely slacking off now if I get another job. I'm tired of bending over for a company and taking it again and again. After experiencing many many poor managers knowing i could do a million times better than them if i had the change and doing better than my lazy coworkers and making them look bad for being lazy leading to them setting me up for falls. I'm tired of working hard and getting nowhere. Fuck the system. If passive-aggressive is the way we have to fix things SO BE IT.
I'm in a similar boat. If my girlfriend loses her job we're moving to oregon or florida. We'll just put everything in a uhaul and leave. Its getting soooo bad. =/
...did what you did and now has spent almost 10 years paying it off when she was unable to get telivision and film jobs because they make movies in other countries now and have outsourced all the jobs.
I have 2 friends who have molecular bio degrees and can't get any decent internships to make money because theres no funding for anything. One has continued onto grad school fearing the real world and burdening his parents some more. and the other one works at an asian koi fishery place where they raise koi because he can't get a job.
I look back during the time my parents wanted me to go to school and realize i would have been ROYALLY fucked with NOT A CHANCE IN HELL of getting a job had I gone for a CS degree.

I and my girlfriend were middle class. We are definitely being shoved into the poor class.

noone will ever be a professional chef in India.
Perhaps this is to discourage anyone from eating the delicious sacred cows?

theres too much money to be made on cancer to ever come up with a cure. youd need a socialist country like china to come up with a cure.
