Some college degrees are 'certificates of attendance'. To increase the college graduation rate, you basically increase the number of worthless degrees.
College degrees aren't supposed to be just 'credentials'. They used to mean something, some still do.
Was thinking the same thing. A additional 15% took an extra 4 or 5 years of partying before starting work. Graduate dumber, but better indoctrinated, than when they started.
Not just 'for profits', all schools are offering lots of watered down degrees, not that * studies wasn't already worthless 30 years ago.
Protip: Leave an inflatable love doll in the meeting, dressed in some of your old clothes. 90% of meetings are just some PHB making speeches, he won't know the difference.
It's not relevant to the discussion. The best games _for PCs_ are not console ports. How could they be, having been written for a least common denominator.
If your kid had a PC he wouldn't prefer the console ports. The console games don't interoperate with PC versions (so the tournaments aren't dominated by KB/mouse players), he would not be able to play with his friends anyhow.
There are plenty of shit retail jobs. Blockbuster was like McDonald's, a place for kids to learn to show up on time.
People like to feel power, being 'waited on' serves this psychological need. It's unlikely to change. How many people made money giving massages (not whoring, that hasn't changed) 100 years ago versus today?
The greeks had primitive 'steam engines'. But it took advances in metallurgy to make the engines practical. Even in the 1800s, it took decades before boiler explosions were a solved problem.
It was hard animal harnesses that did away with most slavery. Before that an ox or a human were comparable to draft animals in terms of work/food. Putting the load onto the ox's shoulders 'automated' the job of 'human plow puller' (yes I know, modern plows were another invention, I'm skipping steps).
Most self described 'creatives' aren't. They just echo each other. Somehow they eak out a living.
People like power over others, so rich people like to be served by Baristas, even though automated machines can already do the job much better than most people employed as coffee slingers. It's also why managers like to increase their 'headcount'. All rational business should keep headcount to a minimum while still getting the job done, but perverse economic incentives are everywhere. None are more perverse than the joy a middle manager feels wasting your time, when you already way behind schedule and working extra hours. It's just a power trip.
Not going to happen. They will just waste more time. Extend the daily 'stand-up' to 3 hours, add a weekly 'all staff' meeting and the MBAs are done.
How many productive hours are you allowed per week?
I occasionally bitch about the CA department of general services *. But putting all the really useless, net negative workers in one building does have the advantage of keeping them out of the hair of people who actually have work to do. As bad as the current situation is, it's better than distributing those air thieves around the government.
* In CA government you can't fire people, so they transfer the blatantly useless ones to 'General Services'.

You are on crack. Innovations? That's beneath liberal arts majors.
If you're buying a physical cart, not downloading an image for an emulator, chances are you're collecting.
Flaws/inclusions are of a different nature, so they can be told apart. The artificial ones are generally cleaner.
Long in my rearview, I can smell that kind of place now and won't touch them for any price.

Obama appointed a well connected idiot as secretary of state. To improve her chances at being president.
Maybe you mean Apollo 1? It has been a long time since anybody thought 100% O2 was a good idea.

Giuliani is an ex DA (spit), his job will be to make NMap illegal.
Underestimating price increases.
The old big mac was bigger.
The old beetle is still better.
Your IQ is about 115. People don't like to recognize that others are smarter than them.
Not meant as a burn, just an explanation for what you are observing.

Your kid prefers console.

You need good metallurgy to make reliable, reproducible springs, needed for pressure relief valves.
Many early boilers had relief valves, but they ether opened early (and were plugged so work could continue) or not at all.
Which doesn't even get into the issue of metal fatigue in boilers.
Nobody cares if it's real 'designer' crap.
If it fools their friends, it's good.
Authenticate it as the genuine old fake? Shouldn't bee too hard. Carbon date it, if it was made in about 1000AD it's the 'real thing'.
IIRC if the drug is tied up by the FDA, they get 7 years from approval date. Special case.
You are halfway to wisdom.
Don't believe _anything_ a politician says.

Fear and Loathing...don't take too much.

What is the carb to protein conversion efficiency of humans? I'd guess, at best, it's worse than any common domesticated animal.
