I’m actually seeing a lot more this year in my yard, and I’m wondering if it’s because I didn’t rake/mow my leaves in the fall. I’d like to say that I left the leaves on the ground for the bugs, but it was really just laziness.
I also recently got a plugin hybrid and while it is charging there’s a green light on the dash… I noticed a firefly hanging out on my windshield flashing every time my car flashed. Poor fella thought he found the largest firefly around.
The National Guard left shortly after 1 p.m., once protesters approached with their hands raised in the air.
So, you treat the National Guard the same as a black bear? Just make yourself appear larger and they will leave.
That’s part of it, but it also helps that the Chinese government heavily subsidizes their auto industry.
I bought 5 pounds of clover seed this spring and spread it through my lawn… and it’s amazing. I plan on getting 20 pounds this fall and doing the rest of my lawn, and probably going to get some creeping red thyme for my fence rows.
The company I work for is a huge medical equipment manufacturer, practically everyone in my building are either scientists, R&D or manufacturing process management and those positions all require specific degrees.
I work in IT, and they want the people leaders at least to have degrees. The position I was hiring for was a people leader, but I didn’t feel a degree was necessary. That said, if someone starting out on IT asked me if they should get a degree I would tell them that they should work in IT for a few years to see if they like it, and if they want to advance in IT then they will have a much easier time advancing with a degree. Depending how high they want to go they might even need a Masters.
The value of specific degrees may be diluted, however the value of a college degree in general does not - at least from the perspective of being able to land a job. If 75% of the applicants for a job have a college degree, the 25% are going to find it difficult to get a first interview.
Even if they do get the interview it is still an uphill battle. I just hired someone on my team who doesn’t have a college degree. He was by far more qualified than anyone else I spoke with because he had 20 years experience. I hadn’t even noticed that he didn’t have a college degree until I got a call from HR asking me to justify hiring someone without a college degree for this position, and me just saying ‘He has 20 years experience’ wasn’t good enough justification.
A lot of millennials went to college and chose specific degrees due to the promise of a higher wage. That wage difference isn’t there anymore.
You’re right, compared to a career from a trade school versus a career from a college degree there isn’t much difference, but having a college degree can still give an edge over someone without a degree in getting a job.
Thank you… I’m an idiot and wasn’t thinking about the Southern Ocean as in ‘The’ Southern Ocean… instead I was thinking about it in terms of the oceans in the south (as in, not necessarily glacial). But yes, now I get it and understand. It probably would have helped if I had opened the link to start with.
The value of a degree doesn’t drop because more people get one, if that were the case there’d be little value in finishing high school. If everyone else has a college degree and you don’t, then you are at a disadvantage.
The value of a college degree will decrease as the cost of a college education goes up, the knowledge gained from a college education is available elsewhere, and fewer people see a reason to get a college degree.
Is nobody going to mention that the chemical is called “dick wad”?
I had to look up that last part, as it seemed counter-intuitive, but apparently deep ocean water bottoms out at 4 degrees C.
Right, but I still wouldn’t call water that is 4 degrees C as warm. How is deep water warm?
Is the Trump admin a good community you are so desperately preaching about?
No, and I never said that good people help good communities. Good people help communities in need.
If this flood hit Mar a Lago and destroyed everything in it’s path and only killed people who are a part of the administration then I would be cheering. The people directly causing the issue would be the ones getting the consequences. However, that’s not what would happen because there are housekeeping staff there who just need a job, there are families who are on vacation there (some likely reluctantly dragged there by a maga spouse or parent). And so, if there’s even a chance that a single innocent person is in need, then every effort should be made to help.
You sound like a preacher who says that natural disasters hit us because of homosexuality.
Good people help communities, no matter who they are. Good people don’t cheer or act smug when had things happen to a community. There are dozens of young girls missing after their summer camp got swept away. It is very possible most, of not all of their parents were trump supporters… none of the children voted for trump. This isn’t a point for your team, these are lives destroyed.
Yes, if this happened in California term trump would make it clear he doesn’t care, and his supporters wouldn’t flinch. But those are despicable people, pity them and show them how we should respond to tragedy.
My state is single consent and I was recording a call with att once and the rep straight up tried to gaslight me. When I told her that I was recording this, so I can play back exactly what she said, she told me that she’s in California and didn’t give consent. I laughed and told her that since I’m not sitting in California I don’t really care about their laws at the moment.
I have the number of friends that I want, and I keep in touch with them by sending them messages any time I want to share sometime with them. Some friends I talk with every day I haven’t seen in person in over 3 years, and we have no problem with that.
