I broached this subject on metafilter a while back, and the consensus at the time was that government work was a *great* alternative to academia. Which, um... Anyway I think a lot about how I'd make the same money in the service industry, if I could get set up in a shop where I can pick the music.
I would hear her out.
If you want to do it you certainly can sign on at the masters level, and even then the admissions process should include some frank counseling about the realities of academia. We don't bother because it is our interest to have students in our programs.
Yeah, as a theory Ph.D. (who majored in theory as an undergrad) my main criticism would be that an undergrad degree implies a career path that *barely* exists any more, with so much of the field being adjunctified, and teenagers do not necessarily have a sense of this.
I'm sure the editors would tell you it's the latter, ignoring the fact that they are dissecting him like a space alien.
I'm not doing anything so I googled it. This NYT article explains that our Houstoun was Scottish or something.

Is there a HOW-stun anywhere other than new york city or are we unique with that.
A friend in our NYC-area games group acquired a crokinole board and we played it once. I had never heard of it before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

...with the in-between events just omitted. It was a bit weird, seemed like they were just trying out ideas on camera without a coherent script.
I will say that it seems likely that they shot additional interactions that would have made it play differently, then edited it to end up with a less ambiguous narrative. The episode jumps from a bit that suggests that ICE is going to act respectfully towards the staff to them being monsters...
Can't wait for all of his proxies to insist this is "more fake news from the liberal media" and that he is "laser focused" on Iran.
The part of the scheme where you have an army of bot listeners feels like the truly fraudulent bit. That is surely a violation of the TOS and would require pretty elaborate subterfuge.
You don't know who you are messing with. I am WELL AQUAINTED with the functions on this social network. Rest assured, I KNOW how it works! I CAN and WILL use all the options at my disposal.
Yeah, the cameras really do train you to drive differently.
Apparently median income in the US is $83K, and $75K is 45th percentile.
I think the first crack in the foundation was noticing that the men who were really high up in the organization didn't seem like nice people. Age 10 or so.
to "Amzn-SearchBot" and then to an unnamed bot! (I feel like this makes me sounds naive, but I do believe that this is really Amazon doing this, as the IP addresses are listed as real amazonbot IPs.)
Yeah, I'm doing a patchwork response as I have time, password protecting pages that I had left open and also (since I'm the only user for this backend stuff) just renaming my directories to mess up its scan.
I did manage to write a decent disallow statement to ban "amazonbot" but it just switched..
It would be funny if congresspersons started getting up and heading for the exits as it wore on, like we saw at some of the rallies.
BUT the young people are falling in love with the new shit, that's the best thing they've ever seen or heard.
One thing I've been thinking about is the way you fall in love with a bunch of things when you are young, because they are literally the best things you've ever seen or heard. Then later when you are old you can't help but compare new things to those reference points.
...and how do we think it found all my stuff? My theory is that chrome sold them my web activity so they saw me using the blind pages.
The dev page claims it obeys robots.txt. Can I ban it with
User-agent: Amazonbot
Disallow: *

However, a crawler that identifies as Amazonbot has been getting into all of my blind directories and fucking shit up. Here is a line from the apache log with the page it accessed redacted...
All right hackers, I need technical help. I have a semi-professional website with all homebrew code, and I also use the same space to host lots of personal stuff in "blind" directories that should not be accessible from the world wide web (i.e. they are not linked from any public page). 1/?
It's true, you really don't need this, nor should you trust it. On the rare occasion that someone pushes your buttons you can put them on your own personal moderation list, and that's way more satisfying.
...but I HAD experienced plenty of conservative white guys aggressively asserting their dumb opinions at me, like literally every week. Didn't quite have the chutzpah to articulate it, though. :(
