Absolutely. HR is useless, but you they are a gauntlet that has to be run before you even meet with the people that can tell a engineer from a PHB. Yet another reason to network, you go right by HR and in the side door.
But HR has 'orders', one of them is 'get the _chumps_ to reveal their current and past compensation'. If their orders include 'don't pass them up to us unless they are salary negotiating chumps.' you didn't want to work their anyhow.
Leaving it blank helps save you time interviewing places you didn't want to work, while not blowing your pecker off in salary negotiations.
End the conversation with: 'If you need a number for the form. I want ALL of the money, but It's negotiable. I understand the CEO needs a paycheck too.'
By my estimate 'good enough', Leah may be dead, but the slavegirl lives on. (lights at piratebay dim under/. load)
Good enough for a 16 year old (on a cardboard 2).
Beware the ones filmed from female POV, no trigger warnings for us?
Search 'VR' on pirate bay, count the seeds etc. Not sure how the producers are making their money, but with numbers like that, the 'videos' are everywhere.
You could play for a solid hour on the VFX1, in 1996 (better later, GHz machines make for awesome frame rates on games built for 66MHz) if you selected content that didn't make you puke. NOT Descent 2, something that kept up mostly up, Commanche 2, Jane's ATF.
Same is true today. It's all about content that won't make you puke. But they are building a new Descent for VR...
They usually last about a year before their parents say 'get a job'. A few have really dumb parents and last longer.
The worst pick a college (cough, Chico State) where this is expected and they can get passing grades while drunk and/or stoned. For the dumbest of these, the college is private and costs north of $50k/year (cough Evergreen, Dartmouth). Which doesn't even start on those majors with no academic rigor...sadly 'education' is right at the top of that list.
'Gap year parties' would actually be good for most of these kids.
In American grad schools, in your subject matter, a B is a C and a C is an F.
A couple of Cs will find you bouncing out the door and down the stairs of the administration building.
Grad students should get mostly As in subject. The lower performers aren't there anymore.
Ivy leagues justify their own grade inflation in undergrad similarly. Which makes it even more amazing that Bush and Gore both graduated Ivy leagues with shit (basically the same) GPA. Those were called 'Gentleman's Cs' (nowadays Gentleman's Bs).
If you ever see a 3.0 student from Harvard/Yale/Brown, don't hire the lazy moron.
30 years ago every smart Engineering major switched to 'undecided' for at least one semester. The prof that ran the giant English 101 'freshman comp' required class was known to _hate_ engineering students. Change to 'undecided' and don't carry 'give away' books or get a guaranteed D or worse.
After having all the Engineering advisors do this for a couple of years, statistical evidence was produced and he was quietly 'promoted' to someplace he couldn't fuck up.
Even those who were 'born to code' had to change majors at least once.
You should look at how North Natomas development was authorized. It's a classic case study in regulatory capture.
Taxpayers aren't bailing out anybody, N. Natomas homeowners are paying to build/rebuild the levees they were told were already there. The politician involved (who's name escapes me at the moment) was fired (didn't run for reelection when the facts were revealed) but not prosecuted in any way.
The whole city is in a floodplain, except 3 suburbs (those with the word 'heights/highlands' in their name). 2 of those are shitholes.
Don't pretend it's a simple question. CO2 greenhouse gas effects by themselves _are_ insignificant, not even in dispute.
It's all about the CO2/temperature/Water vapor positive feedback coefficient used in the models. Also about the CO2/temperature/Cloud cover feedback.
Both those numbers are in question and cannot be backcast. Further don't pretend that 'climate scientists' have been caught using absurd values for these numbers to produce alarmist predictions.
As I've said before: The definition of 'competent modeler' includes 'able to get the model to tell him/her anything they want to hear'.
Remember the details: A little alcohol in the artificial womb at the right time and a person was just dim enough to be happy with a shit job. Hence nobody was ever underemployed, no matter the job mix that their society required. Bonus was they were happy with the lame bread and circuses provided.
Cynical non-conformists were sent off to islands so they wouldn't spread their discontent. Until science figured out how to finally prevent their existence.

'It is too early to discuss salary. I don't have enough information to evaluate your _initial_ offer.'
It that makes them trash your resume you _didn't_ want to work for them. It saves time, as well as improves your negotiating position.

DelPaso Heights (DPH) used to be the 'high rent district'. There are some great old houses there, but wear you body armor.
Don't make up bullshit numbers.

Porn.
Porn.
This was obviously at one particular school...

Ask them, based on the numbers, it won't be hard to find one.
Statistical bullshit. Big money sports (football, basketball) make money, but the other programs (swimming, soccer, field hockey) suck in down.
Someone will have to pay for the pools, if the football program stops.

Per the NATO agreement, participating nations are expected to spend 2% of GDP on defense.
Of the European participants, only the UK does.
In 1946 it made sense for the USA to pay to defend western Europe. Much of it being having been recently bombed. But now?
European countries that complain of American influence should take the opportunity to step up.
I know a 'master mechanic' who claims to have a 'masters degree'. Nobody argues with him anymore, it sure makes you cringe.

The only debate is:
Proper form to address a twitter user? Twit or Twat?
They appear incapable of cleaning up their own nation.
Their major political parties are each wholly owned subsidiaries of drug cartels. Just look at who gets raided vs. which party is in control.
They sure do like border controls when discussing _their_ southern border. It's only 'evil' when considering their northern border.
Shut-off the fuel and let your mower run the carb bowl dry. It's not that complicated, you should have been doing it all along.
Still mowing with a two-stroke in CA. Been illegal coming on 20 years. New mowers are mostly MTD crap.
I know you're familiar with Sacramento.

When you've got a valuable economic resource to protect, living under sea level is practical. See the Netherlands.
When you've got a shithole, not so much. See the 9th ward of New Orleans.

Pakistan/India MAD so far shows you to be exactly wrong.
Nukes force nations to grow the fuck up. It even worked on Stalin.

The 'left' has had plenty of time to check their 'extremists'. They didn't, so suck it up.
