    maybe you seattle losers decided to stop funding your colleges.
    We just gave ours a shit-ton of land in the state Constitution.

    (it turned out to have oil underneath)

    now I'm getting 8 CITIES EVERY HIPSTER SHOULD VISIT

    it's all your fault

    I would say that this list is probably just: Silverlake, Austin, Portland, Seattle, Williamsburg, et al

    But those are probably too played out and not obscure enough

    also the major research enterprises turned profit by overbuilding labs and overrecruting investigators when the NIH was doubling in the 90s
    now that it is contract
    well
    that entire model went out the window
    for example you may not know that 50% of every NIH grant is given to the university and not the investigator
    for things like facilities maintenance or overhead or whatever
    but scientists are pushovers and bad at business
    guess how much of that 50% doesn't go back where it should

    no no no
    raise tuition
    use federal dollars
    cut all research because only short term gains are important

    yes delete all research
    why are professors even doing stuff other than teaching the things the private sector discovered.
    hire several more administrative staff to organize all the private sector research they will be teaching.
    and a manager
    and three assistant deans of information collection

    I find the idea of you guys talking about cutting course funding hilarious cus most american students end up with crippling debt anyway

    also spool complaining about useless college degrees while his daughter is in hippie college learning about historical vaginas and whatnot

    If I studied for a STEM degree and got it you'd have one more mediocre STEM major in the world that would cause DK to write many more posts on this forum about the sheer incompetence in his job

    forcing people to get degrees in shit they don't have aptitudes for nets you shitty adults with shitty skills that's all

    it's true some people are hopeless

    That is why colleges offer wiener majors like Psychology and English and Poli-Sci. The culture changed and 20-somethings are now compelled to go to colleges. Scholarships, family savings plans, and government loans - colleges see all this as a teat to be milked dry and to keep the teats coming, colleges offer something for everyone.

    Honestly, both are true. Government funding is important and should happen, because as I noted before, it's a national defense issue, among a million other concerns, but OTOH, colleges have been spending like a freshman who discovered that credit cards exist and they are already pre-approved because of the student loan bubble. And the worst is, so little of that goes to actual fucking educators, so while tenured professors do as well as someone with a socially useful job that requires and advanced degree ought, adjunct professors take extra ketchup packets and napkins when they eat at McDonald's to really stretch those dollars...

    IT people are real weird they always laugh like kermit the frog and they get mad when run pirate wifi networks.

    Pirate wifi is the best solution for bypassing shitty roommate internet connectivity hoarding.

    nexuscrawler tapeslinger

    Or just login to the default admin details and QoS the network for yourself. :bzz:

    nah, the guy was being a dick and locked the network down, locked the device down, changed password, etc.

    I mean, I had access to the device so I could totally just reset it, but he would know as soon as he came home.

    But he was willing to enter an IP in for my xbox to use, connected by ethernet.

    So I just took another wifi router, changed its ID to match that of an xbox 360, gave it the IP address of the xbox, then tucked it deep into the entertainment center after plugging my xbox into it.

    the wifi network was called pirateship

    no joke
    we got told once at a meeting
    that we should raise private money like seed investors for our research
    because the free market knows the way

    No one had the balls to explain that private industry ONLY develops discoveries that we have vetted first
    nothing gets to the clinic unless we mitigate the risk first

    this is not a trivial task!

    anyways idk what's gonna happen but hopefully it's solved by the time my kids are college aged

    and despite the whole thing about "just send your kids to a trade school lots of high paying jobs" i'll just be an elitist fuck and say I want my kids to go to college. if they decide they don't want to well then OK but it's not something I'm planning on
