You are right, 100db is only like a motorcycle. As loud as a motorcycle but only 12mm? Not Impressed! Get it together little fish!

The real surprise is that anyone trusted google about anything in the first place.

Its posts like this that ensure I’ll have a job for years to come. Comments are worthless too, I mean, just read the code!

I’m curious to how close this tracks with population growth.

Just like “unlimited vacation.” Whenever someone says it you know there is something going on and you aren’t going to like it.

They also pulled this bait and switch on Universities.

I think at Disney Worlds Animal Kingdom in the Avatar ride queue they have some pretty cool examples of this. I always wondered how they did it and now I know.

I don’t know why anyone would disparage anyone taking care of their own kids. The “workforce” sucks and people should be ashamed they’ve been convinced a “career” is something they should aspire to at all costs. Maybe instead of giving people money to pay for child care they should give people money and just let them stay home and enjoy being with their children.

I do not know the reference. Is it that people claim the middle lanes are faster?

But I do know that a lot of people across a lot of topics over estimate their ability because they don’t know what they don’t know. Science as a topic isn’t special in this regard.

Jr devs are great examples. Your code is garbage and I am brilliant, just let me change this thing here and OH MY THE SYSTEM IS BROKE PLEASE HELP ME! Intermediate knowledge and negative attitudes.

Intermediate [insert topic here] knowledge associated with overconfidence and negative attitudes.

Topics: Science, Sports, Cooking, Driving, Programming… literally anything.

I didn’t need a study to know this.

Lots of people can tell the difference and simply don’t care. I care about black levels but I don’t pretend that people who don’t care are clueless.

But you can still pass in the right lane. So a slow driver in the left lane has someone riding their tail and are also getting passed in the right so they can’t even change to the slow lanes anymore. Add in left exits, moving over for vehicles on the shoulder, and speed limits that adjust based on road conditions and you have the perfect storm of it only being enforced in the worst cases.

The US version (varies by state) of the fast lane is garbage which is why nobody follows it. If you want a passing lane then you need a non passing lane and I don’t think US drivers are willing to make that concession.

Well in my opinion the kids who were working in factories were working on the latest tech. It most definitely sucked and was horrible but the experiences would have prepared them for what the US needed.

I think the equivalent today would be forcing kids to do tech work, as we are out of the industrial age and into the Information Age. But tech work isn’t dirty and going to kill you so there is less incentive to force it on marginalized groups.

That’s why I think it was maybe just a perfect storm of circumstances.
