Sadly, I've been seeing the opposite. My large company keeps hiring groups of contractors out of India. They are low-quality and low-paid and are there for minor feature conversions. However, we see the company keeping them over strong employees every round of layoffs. The levels of technical debt someone will have to deal with in the future is absurd.

I got a 1976 and a 1992 correct on my only attempt. What are the odds of that? You can narrow a picture down to roughly a 20 yr span. Is that 1 in 400 for just those two? Worst case would be 100 x 100?
Related - I spent years injecting molasses into the ground to do VOC remediation. https://semspub.epa.gov/work/HQ/401583.pdf We used GeoProbe tooling to get the molasses down there.

When I was a chemist we used photoionization detectors to detect VOCs in groundwater.

Re:GPU mining no longer profitable after Ethereum merge on Saturday September 17, 2022 @12:00AM (#32874657)
Combined with the EVGA news, when can I expect GPU prices to fall? I gave up trying to build a new gaming rig after all the 30xx series scalping.
I am watching Picard atm. It seems as though the Borg already know this.

Is noise pollution a possibility with this?

Re:I decided that I must live my life on my terms on Tuesday April 05, 2022 @09:10PM (#30927225)
As a scientist and programmer, everything to me points to a creator. Obviously every person has a different set of options, and some people have no options. I think most people that aren't following Jesus are already following "I decided that I must live my life on my terms." OP has just decided that they want to choose a different direction of what they are choosing to do in this life.

I believe the true purpose is to glorify God and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. I've gone through cancer and lost children. Pain is thankfully only temporary. I believe the joy of God is eternal and most people will not find joy/happiness outside of this in their lifetime.
