My dad grew up in one of the most rural parts of NC. Thanks to the Duke Talent Identification Program, which ran a talent search across the rural South to find and uplift smart American kids, he was thrown an intellectual life preserver. He then double majored in math and CS, and went on to get his finance PhD.
That program doesn’t exist anymore.
Now, when a top university wants stem talent, they import it en masse from Asia, and fasttrack those immigrants to high paying US jobs. How many brilliant rural kids are out there now (in the “flyover states” @agupta smeared) waiting for a life preserver that never comes? Neglecting American STEM talent was one of our most egregious errors.
@kenyladynv I'm telling you guys, we need prayer. All of us need to raw strength from God to help us solve issues, and we need to pray. I certainly need to be better at praying for all the little and big things that don't even affect me directly. Just pray for the nation to heal.
First look at parachutes in Kitten Space Agency.
Chute physics “sleep” once landed, but if you don’t cut them, they’ll wake up and continue simulating when forces are applied again.
@DoDeportations If you were a morbidly obese black woman, you could be fast tracked trough the military. At least that's what I saw happen in basic training before I got medically discharged for a minor heart condition. I must've been too White and too male or something... 🤷♂️
Deporting Ilhan Omar would be like landing an astronaut on the moon, in terms of the emotional and psychological inspiration it would have on the American people to see a foreigner Congresswoman deported. It would be like chains and shackles were broken from a sleeping giant.
@Bronx_0544@Ron_WatkinsQ I have the app, and my dad's old KJV. But I want to get my own NKJV because all though I consider myself English skills to be above average, my 15th century English is beyond rusty. I feel stupid trying to understand old English writing.
Somewhere there's a Rockstar employee calling his wife's cousin who works at a 3 letter agency to beg and plead for help finding this guy or else entire departments will lose their jobs.
@kemaliwyapmaz@vnord42xw What do you mean the textures aren't good? The video is in 480p. You can barely see them, also keep in mind this was showcasing a 2023 build of the game. it has 3 more years of development on it if you count the time left until release.
@Nostre_damus I imagine there are some people living in really nice houses around Maryland and Virginia who could answer that question. Houses that are suspiciously too nice for their salary.
