There is reason to doubt anything said by the Venezuelan government.
There is also reason to doubt anything said about cryptocurrencies. That's why I bought in. Two negatives make a positive, right? Right?
Umm, one other thing. Anyone here know how to reverse a PayPal transfer? This, umm, friend, ordered a computer or something off eBay and it never arrived.
the ANC has announced that they plan to seize white-owned land in South Africa, but they'll be smart this time and won't "hurt the economy." This puts us on the right into the awkward position of pointing out that Mugabe is corrupt, not stupid.
He's certainly smart enough to know what country he's president of.
That's OK, one of the other teachers would mistake him for an intruder and shoot him. With a bit of luck the second teacher will only plug two or three kids before he hits what he was trying to aim at.
Half a dozen tops, not too bad. Then you find out there was no shooter, he saw an oboe player and heard a car backfiring.
People should pay for their own apprenticeships. If they were awesome self-employed contractors like cayenne8 they could claim it as an expense and get a tax rebate.
It doesn't need to displace all human labour. If a call handling system can deal with even half of queries and flip the other half to a carbon unit you've got 50% unemployment. What if it can deal with 9/10?
Even the lower estimate is a huge system shock to an economy. Not exactly fun for the people involved too.
Microbes tend to be optimised for a fairly narrow range of conditions. I suspect something that's at home in Venusian clouds might find it a little chilly - not to mention unpleasantly alkaline - round here.
But you can do that without licensing: the penalty for doing wiring wrong can include being legally barred from doing such work.
I'm sure that's a great consolation to anyone electrocuted or burned as a result of the faulty wiring. Because usually that's how shoddy work and corner cutting get detected - in the investigation of a disaster, after the fact.
The "don't punish dangerous actions, punish consequences" argument would be OK if there was a big green reset button that unmaims and unkills people.
Not in Feminist Folk Dancing and Interdisciplinary Whining..
There are skills shortages.
Tell me about it. I went to buy a basket the other day and they only had ones that were woven on land.
We also can't expect children to make great life decisions at that age, and can't realistically expect them to dedicate years of their lives to subjects they have little interest in.
Not sure what that's got to do with anything. There's no rule that says you have to go to university before you're 25. I've known a few slow burners/late bloomers and they did OK.
if we recognize that a philosophy degree is valuable for the skills it teaches - writing, rhetoric, self study, time management, project management, self motivation.
Does it, these days? At Oxford and the like, maybe. I suspect those at Fulchester University (formerly Outer Westumbria Polycollege) are just regurgitating lecture notes.
And there are other ways of gaining those skills. Indeed, I don't recall anyone I was at uni with who didn't already have most of them when they arrived. Yes, even the engineers.

Or rather, was president of.

How much to the nearest dedicated shitting street?
They should, like, make a movie or something about that.
Gender dysphoria is even more so.
Quite right. That's plumbers.

But I'm big boned!
Saudi Arabia don't do much apart from oil and they're doing OK.
Maybe it's to do with overall demand instead?
They don't use systemd, do they? At least not yet.

Yeah, have them all just born with a compatible data connector.
OST, can that. It's pushing suspension of disbelief too far. Yes, Apple, I did look at you.

But that's still relying on teh gubmint to play nice. A proper dictator like Saddam or Stalin would just have levelled the place.
Thus, against actual tyranny, no use at all.
Ah, sitting. For a second I thought it said something else.
I don't see why one precludes the other.
After all, you can't be trusted with them, can you?
The EU was the icing, but there was a considerable cake underneath and the main ingredients were internal corruption & ineptitude.
Greece was an economic joke before it even joined.
You seriously think that's because they would have lost the battle and not because it would have been bad PR?
Those were invasions. He said uprisings.
Clue: One requires foreigners.
The families would of course be temporarily housed on guarded bases. For their own safety, of course.
Eh? Are you saying that when a person passes 50 he suddenly becomes 1.3 people?
I mean I know I've put a bit of weight on, but ...
So if 1,000,000 graduates includes 50,000 doctors, and we need 75,000 doctors, we can achieve that simply by having 1,500,000 graduates?
Entirely different issue. Ever heard the expression mature student? # ToDo: joke goes here.
