Easily. Step 1: become a billionaire, as in the image. Step 2: create 999 millionaires. Congratulations, you're now a millionaire!

Quite right too. The most important factor for me when buying a computer is that the sales droid is in an office. All those CPU, RAM and disk numbers are secondary to that.

A friend persuaded me to go on a date with a girl I wasn't particularly into. We went for a meal, then she wanted to go clubbing. But I'm not into that either, so she broke down in tears. I was pretty sure I hadn't said anything that bad, but then the story came out: her ex-partner had the same first name and job as me, and the meal and clubbing were his favourite things, but he'd been found dead in another country with his common law wife and kids, and the similarity to me was effectively his coming back from the dead to be with her again.

No there wasn't a second date. I haven't seen her since either. Neither have I taken dating advice off that friend since, although we are still friends.

But you DO have a PhD. Claiming it is somehow not valid is a criticism of the establishment that awarded it to you. You're just suffering from impostor syndrome, that's all.

Also, no employer will consider someone fresh out of education, even someone with a PhD, to have vast quantitites of useful real-world experience, so even declaring a PhD won't see you land your first job with the expectations that you'll ace every bit of it from day one.

It's good that you realise you know nothing. That is both accurate and useful. But don't take it too far. What your PhD proves is that you have an ability to learn, understand and communicate, and THAT is what employers are looking for.

Heh, I wonder how the ml tankies are spinning this one and what browser they're going to use instead of Nazifox or whatever stupid name they're using for it now.

Oi I'm not wiping my manly butthole with those pink girly wipes. That'd be GAY or probably something equally incoherent.

Took me less than a minute of googling to find "hey, I'm paying for premium, why am I seeing adverts?" and it turns out there are a whole pile of exceptions that means YT can show you ads even when you're paying them not to.

Well it's only Windows that's complaining it can't install Windows 11 on my Windows 10 laptop. I'm not mothballing perfectly good hardware just because Microsoft is having a tantrum.

No guillotining on a Monday then.

Yes OK, but apart from all that, what has Biden ever done?

Don't Fuck With Paste - for all those stupid websites that think pasting my email address from my clipboard extender (Ditto-cp) is somehow unreliable.
