"Frankly all public servants should be required to have a camera running at all times when they are working."

Fine, but be prepared for the first-person video of me taking a piss in some conveniently placed foliage because I'm on a mail route with no bathrooms.


well... im assuming you are more showered than the homeless bum i have to walk around pissing on market street most mornings ?


I agree. Venice was a very viable Civ to play as in V, and there you're only allowed one city.


I'm constantly being contacted through LinkedIn by recruiters who clearly haven't actually read my profile - they'll say they've read it and then say that they think I'd be perfect for the Senior Developer position they're hiring for, when my profile clearly has me as a student looking for entry -level positions. When I respond, or when they call me, I tell them my actual qualifications and they say that they'll definitely contact me in the future. To date I have not heard from a single one of them again.


I get exactly the effect you mention here all the time from LI: recruiter spam from people who tell me they've read my (junior dev) profile, then offer me Lead Dev positions for their young company, while at the same time saying the requirements for the role are 10 years of "progressive software dev experience" (which I don't have and is definitely apparent from my profile).

It's baffling. Don't tell me you've read my resume if you clearly haven't. These people are not helping themselves by blasting a canned message to those who match whatever keyword they're filtering for.


"SpaceX successfully recovers teens after launch"


Electric rockets still have a long way to go...


There is actually a thing called ion thrusters, which use propellant only as reactive mass and consume electricity for energy, but they are too weak for use in Earth-launched rockets.


What are the chances of one of them being called "Jebediah".


Yeah, especially since 01100100 can't be misinterpreted as -28


01100100 has been misinterpreted as 294976 though.

I suppose we can rely on context to choose the correct interpretation, as Shannon is unlikely to have been born 294,976 years ago or 28 years in the future.


I'm currently taking all my classes online, but through a brick-and-mortar college (I live too far from campus to attend in person, at least for now), and my school doesn't offer anything above Calculus 2 online, with the justification that the material is too tough to learn without direct instruction.

I have no idea how valid that justification is, but I imagine at least some other schools use a similar reasoning.


First; I never finished a degree after High School. I got married instead and left school for the world of blue collar employment, which worked well enough for me for a long time, but now I find myself craving a career where I'm intellectually challenged.


That's funny, I would trade my office job for the right blue collar job opportunity.


I may continue on for my Master's after finishing my BS, haven't decided yet.


I'm going to do it no matter what, I'd just like to hear opinions on what I'm getting into, so I can plan for likely roadblocks.
