I'm genuinely curious; which places have you travelled to outside of the US?

I'm from Australia and there are no BA(Physics) here, only BS(Physics) and you can only call yourself an engineer if you have the right degree, approved by engineers Australia and/or IEEE. Having the title of engineer here is similar to the medical doctor title.

Edit: Though the tone of your response makes sense to me now that I think of it. My husband's company recently hired a senior software engineer from the states and he's turned out to be no better than the local engineering graduates despite having over 20 years experience.

No, but it's meant for understanding a topic at a broad level so you can communicate about said topic. It's different from a Bachelor of science which delves more deeply into the topic and you can certainly call yourself an engineer with this kind of degree. You cannot call yourself an engineer or a scientist with a Bachelor of Arts (physics).

Not a physics degree but an arts degree in physics. He doesn't know shit.

Yep, stopped probably 7 years ago when we moved into our place and cut the antenna cable. We pretty much watch political commentators on YouTube and the odd movie on stream, as well as whatever's in our DVD collection.

I use it A LOT for work. Basically looking for real life images of the lighting application that I'm designing for to convey the intent to the client in a visual way.

I might also use it for art inspiration but not often.

Could we not go for a more sustainable solution? I'm sure they'd make a pretty decent fertiliser.

Not at all surprised. Just gobsmacked by how far they have their heads up their arses.

Edit: The only benevolent CEOs I've met have retired early and given their wealth away so that they have just enough to live out the rest of their lives in peace.

The rest are greedy narcissists and are extremely selfish, believe that being poor is a choice and love the thrill of taking advantage of people.

Most, if not all, CEOs are rich though and I'm sure most people follow your sentiments too. It's just that CEOs are currently the flavour of the month.

"critical need to humanise leadership"

What about humanising your customer base? Humanising employees?

Bicycle helmets

Is that vehicle even successful? It may be the bubble I'm in but that makes The Homer look like a sexy sports car.

Someone tell me how this guy is NOT an idiot but smart, and got rich by being smart. This line of thinking is just going to incite a civil war and tank the economy. Everyone is three meals away from a revolution.

Absolutely agree. A lot of the teals are providing a great alternative to the Libs who were pretty much on a gravy train for a long time. It disgusts me that the main parties would prefer to create legislation to inhibit change rather than adapt to what the people obviously want.

Mouth Washing. Pretty cool indie game.

I suspect it's largely targeting the teals because the Greens aren't negatively effected by it. The Libs are losing heaps of ground to them.

The whole process was rigged. There was no national call for dancers and Holy Molly was objectively better in the qualifiers, though not as good as other B-girls around the country.

Raygun was an absolute embarrassment and shouldn't have been sent over. There's a time and place to practice new moves and the Olympics is not the place.

Every billionaire is a policy failure.

It makes me wonder if the result of this ban in Australia will see a rise in forums and chat rooms.

Fair, not yet but the bill has passed and it's now being written into law in Australia, where I live. I agree that it'll be difficult for the child to be the odd one out if most people in society are doing something that they're banned from doing at home but when has that stopped society from progressing? Why teach to cave into societal pressure when you can apply critical thinking as to why it's being limited in the first place?
