For our female ancestors, yes. For our male ancestors, less so.

> International students percentage is about 6% of total high education population

It's much much higher in Postgraduate because it's a way to stay in the country without being employed

"The USA benefits..."

Who actually benefits?

Yeah, no surprise. Getting a clearance sucks.

It takes forever and you're subjected to very intrusive scrutiny as well as potentially psychological tomfoolery like polygraphs.

Why would a qualified individual subject themselves to that unless they have no other option.

There's a reason clearance jobs have a reputation as make-work for ex service members.

Market for lemons. Read it, explains everything.

From what I've seen, he considers them piracy.

Good, dealerships suck and need to be disrupted

Yeah, there are screenshots of his LinkedIn floating around that show he apparently did Bugfixes on CIV 6. (The profile has since been scrubbed of course)

Not any more. An E-Form 4 is now processed in a week or two.

Nice to have a quick and dirty pronunciation guide for this.

Interesting how useless transliteration can be unless the reader is familiar with the system. Naiively applying conventional pronunciation rules to transliterated words can yield mixed results.

Russian is kind of similar, though not as extreme as Mandarin. For example, most English speakers pronounce Khrushchev as "kroosh-chev" because that's how it reads if you're used to English spelling rules. But a more accurate (though still wrong) pronunciation would be more like "Hrooshoff" with a phlegm on the H and a rolled R if you can do it.

But getting to that pronunciation in the first place requires knowing that kh is Х, that shch is щ, and that the e is actually a ё (which is a separate letter from е in Russian, but the dots are frequently omitted because speakers of the language know which е's are е's and which are ё).

It's not that complicated. Healthcare is expensive, sure.

It's made more expensive by allowing the private healthcare industry to operate in such a parasitic way.

Americans and their employers pay an obscene amount of money to insurance companies every year for "health insurance". In turn, those companies use that money to employ people full time to find ways to deny people the coverage that they pay for based on technicalities. They do this so that they can pay people like Brian Thompson more money.

It's a disgusting and immoral system that should not be allowed to exist.

Both terms are euphemistic for the groups they refer to.

You call it young adult fiction because most teenagers would rather be perceived as young adults than children.

You call people middle aged in their 50s because no one wants to be reminded that they're statistically 2/3 of the way to the grave.

Well yeah. Windows 10 runs on almost anything x86-64 made in the last 15 years. It's also the last Windows version to be available in 32 bit.

Windows 11 is essentially the same OS but with some arbitrary hardware requirements added.

This whole BlueSky thing feels inorganic.
