Sad as it is, I guess there are parts of the world where breaking human rights and oppressing people who don't agree with you or have different beliefs and preferences is actually necessary to keep the whole thing from descending into mad chaos and never-ending civil war. Take Libya: I might be entirely wrong, but at least when they had a dictator stuff like infrastructure, healthcare and education was really quite good, relatively speaking. Sure, there was a ruler who imposed bullshit religious rules on people (you know, the 'you should go to jail for years because you like the wrong person' kind of rules), but at least there was no situation where major military battles were so commonplace they're not even news anymore... The Libya-thing is based on reading things people said who look like they are somewhat educated on the matter, so it might be wrong

Wait, there is a good democracy in the Middle East? Usually at least to the outside world it seems to be one eternally raging fire to which every single 'group' just keeps adding more and more and more and more fuel to make sure the fire never settles down into something calm and peaceful..

So far Juventus manages to hold their own in Amsterdam, but hardly

US laws allow for kids to start paper routes that early? And one needs a degree for it?

Unbelievable year so far for Maximilian Schachmann, wow.

Wait, @dcro is next too. Interrogating me but not telling his own job, no way José.

You're next: what's your job?

At this very moment nothing, since today I finished this part of the certification. Next week we'll take a look at what's next, possibly it's going to be about stuff like network/server management. I've tried my way in cyber security/ethical hacking, but sadly (since there's a shitload of good jobs available in it) that turned out to be just not my thing. Interesting, but something for which one needs a gazillion times as much creativity as I have. It's not like at a university where you're studying for a degree in X or Y

I'm mostly studying In case there's genuine interest, the place where I study basically functions like this: 1. People with autism or autism-related stuff who can't hold on to some education or can't get a job can get an (IT) education at this place 2. After a while, they help you find a job through their by now rather extensive network of customers I think so far around 500 people or so got a job through this in the past 10 (?) years, only 2 students left without success. Personally I'm studying there and 'working' in the Pearson Vue exam center as an exam administrator, while studying and slowly getting more and more actual hands-on/real-world experience. Too bad there's no English section https://itvitae.nl/ (and don't bother wondering who I am, I'm glad to say I've so far managed to avoid being on any of the photos published)

Once my kid is born he/she already outranks you in seniority.

I've been reading about the periodic table in that book I spammed

And which swimming events should be taken out to make place for that?

The first ever actual image of a black hole (or well, the stuff around it obviously) has just been released. Science history in the making

It does?

About Wanderer I'm fairly sure

Anyway, I recently bought this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_If%3F:_Serious_Scientific_Answers_to_Absurd_Hypothetical_Questions And it's just really, really good (and fun)! I was now reading the chapter about what happens if you build the periodical element in real, made of cubes from the elements themselves (spoiler: all humans die, basically) and thought about @hckosice because I was so sure he worked in a lab Well then to anyone with a slight interest in sort of popular sciency kind of stuff: try and get this book, it's awesome.

Mind = blown

I was 99,99% you worked in some lab or something

Bedankt By the way, you're in the field of science/chemistry, right?

Nailed it Part two (of two) of the Office 365 MCSA certification

Isn't it pretty much tied so far with both of them claiming victory?

I was studying for my exam today Instead of planning everything perfectly so I can have a full night's sleep before, I generally dot the i's and cross the t's by studying until late the night before, sleep 3-4 hours (like I did now), wake up around 5 and spend three more hours studying before going to the exam center

Well shit, suddenly you've got bees in your eyes. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/doctors-find-bees-in-taiwanese-womans-eye-feeding-on-her-tears
