offering experiences to prepare them for university life.

'Experiences'. Ah: Sales-bro-speak for 'whale-watching and zip-lining'.

That'll help.

Or did they just mean 'experience'?

Children will be living with their parents for longer and longer, remember, with the reduced buying power that young adults have this generation compared to the last (a statement true for a few generations now but entirely noticeable now).

So don't sweat it. The best thing parents can do to prepare kids for success is to keep them at home and not paying (full) rent for as long as possible.

To compound the issue, hormones at this stage will reduce the young adults' coping ability, as we're evolved to go on our own and "grow the species" aggressively at this point. It will make staying at home and getting that financial leg-up that much harder. To succeed, the child needs to be very adult about this and understand it's primarily hormones; and needs to explain this to the parents who may not know. 30 years later and I'm just figuring it out!

Good luck. Get on actually good footing before you launch.

with a GUI

Look for one without a GUI and learn its command-line, and you're done.

There 300 different "languages spoken at home" (ie native language) in America.

Pick which ones are important and tell the other 298-odd ones why they're not.

1. Dems suggest texas can texit if the GOP drafts it.
2. GoP doesn't want to blink, crafts it in a way that gives Texas power when it leaves, to please the howling magats
3. Dems say "cool. These 31 states on both coasts are seceding. Using the process laid out, each coastal block will reorganize into its own group.

Now the red states are booted. Miller time.

If you poll half the population, they don't even know what the Constitution says. They could be ignoring it now.

Explain the apostrophe. What am I not seeing?

S.M.H

they know people will leave for other jobs with forced RTO.

But, as per the Dead Sea Effect, it's never the people they should want to shed. The earliest to depart are the most mobile, and they're mobile because they're talented, effective and marketable. This evaporation proceeds until nothing but salt remains.

The plural of anecdote isn't data.

literall--

Heard enough. Find new adverbs.

spams

Mass nouns don't need the 's'

till

This idiot needs a tree.

Yeah. PulseAudio is made by the same wunderkind who brought us fucking systemd.

Nope. The moment you rock out the kid-pidgin like 'cuz u' I know you're not worth the time.

a poor IT admin guy has to manually search for the username of a leaving employee.

Your comment suggests you think IT Admins are told about departing employees, timely or at all.

HR doesn't trust Staff with that knowledge, even if that Staff member needs to disable an account because we must act quickly to protect the company against the same horrible criminals who enjoyed free reign and ultimate trust as the paragons of virtue they were the MOMENT before they were fired.

Good call. I'd pick Sweden because, like Norway, it's a happy country; but I have in-laws in Sweden that I love to visit because everything is so calm there.

It's weird how tax money enters a general revenue pool and some of it is spent on other things, like roads and services.

And, like any 'shock' piece, it mentions "billions" without actually saying a fucking percentage. ONLY PERCENTAGES MATTER.

I smell a conservative hit-piece.

I'll read 9 articles showing data that the rate of ALL crimes per capita are going down, almost across the board, and then I'll see one opinion piece that claims "rates are going up and it's the non-conservative's fault".

That's like how 9/10 dentists say you should brush your teeth.

the government took from them

... as decided by us, the voters.

You may need to learn how all this works.
