Don’t say that, the Hudson Bay Company died a few years ago. It’s worth a read in Wikipedia; they were so powerful hundreds of years ago that they were treated like a country.

IBM is defunct for consumer tech.

Radio Shack is dead.

Many other examples haha.

day to day people who don’t care about computers as a hobby memorize the steps to using their computers along with the icons. The average person couldn’t use Linux in a work environment simply because they lack critical thinking skills required to use a slightly different computing environment. Your everyday middle management refuses to cut productivity for long term change that isn’t overwhelmingly positive to their bottom line.

Human subjects are crazy to work with for a few reasons

  1. People don’t follow instructions perfectly
  2. Research subjects often don’t take the research project very seriously.
  3. It’s not uncommon to have dropouts, thus you either have to find more subjects or have less data.
  4. It’s impossible to know what the subjects are doing to cause data variability (diet, vices, etc)
  5. You can’t lock subjects in a room and force them to eat and drink the same food every day.
  6. There’s a financial (time) penalty to many research studies that can get in the way of enthusiastic participation.

Laboratory mice literally live 5 to a cage with almost no diet variability, in a controlled environment. Yes shit does happen with research mice, but it’s something that is easy to control overall.

What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops?

  1. Wax your ass
  2. Get a squatting stool
  3. Don’t eat spicy food
  4. High Fiber, meaning, don’t eat anything purréd
  5. Try to eat a salad with lunch/dinner
  6. Limit or eliminate processed foods
  7. Limit saturated fat intake up until the point your gallbladder can keep up
  8. Red sauces, not white sauces
  9. Eliminate fried food
  10. Eat foods that are in a form where you can visually discern each major ingredient. (That’s kinda where the term “Whole Foods” comes from)
  11. Eat lean proteins like chicken/fish/Pork (not bacon)

Berkeley Professor Says Even His ‘Outstanding’ Students With 4.0 GPAs Aren’t Getting Any Job Offers — ‘I Suspect This Trend Is Irreversible’

Graduated in 2014 from university of Arizona (bio/chem double major): my first job paid me 9$/hour to which I negotiated 10$/hour. Stayed with them 3 months before being fired for making mistakes (I did make small mistakes, nothing crazy though). Started as a cowboy giving horse rides and pony cart rides instantly at 10/hour + tips. A year later started teaching at the university for 10/hour. Worked there 7 years maxing out at 15.80$. The job market is utter garbage for graduates.
