@EdwardEGibbon I'm sure this is true of many (all?) fields, I am just familiar with CS

[Charles van Straubenzee @mlxzdk]

@EdwardEGibbon In my experience employers complain about not being able to find good quality graduates, while graduates complain about not being able to find jobs. A large part of it is likely that entry standards drop off quickly outside of the top few places, along with poor teaching

At Peterhouse the fellows used to refer to the Enlightenment as the Darkening, and the Reformation as the Deformation.

@arkadisch VPN into Germany?

[Liam @LegoRacers2]

This always makes me think of the Pylos Agate, roughly contemporary with the historic Troy and the gnarliest and most shockingly vivid Bronze Age artifact I’ve ever seen. How did they achieve this kind of anatomical fidelity a thousand years before the classical age?

@MinooFramroze You mean Rory S. ? Florence of Belgravia?

@HPCDisrespecter It's not about being happy it's about being inspired to wagie even harder

He looks a lot like a young Starmer here.

I know almost nothing about this man, but Dems should run him in 2028.

A 48 year old straight white guy who looks like this and is a Democrat? I'm as shocked as you.

[Charles van Straubenzee @mlxzdk]

@GroovySciFi Worth applying at least. Finance turned out to be more interesting than I thought, but I get why you'd be reluctant to try it if it's hard to go back to academia.

@GroovySciFi @Bindlestiff646 I have run into a couple of characters in the med who still have an oldschool PUA flavour, doing cold approaches etc. Usually British expats

@shagbark_hick Then why do the French trim their gardens but not their women?

[Charles van Straubenzee @mlxzdk]

@totlsota @ceciliavlso Do you have any good recommendations on where to live if working in the City (sans family)?

[Charles van Straubenzee @mlxzdk]

Where can I get this as a bathrobe?

[Anglo-Celtic Warrior @Anglo_Warrior]

We should bring back Anglo-Saxon style robes. The aura they had was unmatched.

@aledeniz @CrazyItalianPol Related to the Maltese Scicluna I suppose?

Interesting that even a rather good writer like Montefiore writes emails like he's barely literate
