April 29, 20241 yr On 4/28/2024 at 1:17 PM, Dougal said: I had an interesting dinner with a senior Georgetown Univ. professor last night. He said that for the first time in years not all the graduates have jobs or even offers. They apparently limit their opportunities by only considering coastal locations. Nothing in the middle of the country is even considered and that includes booming/formerly-booming Texas, Nashville, Denver, Chicago, etc. I guess the civic promoters are doing the right thing trying to keep local grads in town after graduation. its not uncommon — because my grad program was fully paid i bound to stay in ohio for a year (morally). in the end i did it of course — although i did secretly also interview out of state at the time (i was the only one to even do that). also, afaik most g’towners are from around the east coast anyway and of course they (and the dookies) are wannabe ivys, so they have a weird lowkey snobbery. and last but not least, they’re rich, so they can take a gap year, i ain’t worried about’em lol.

I was one of about 10 Clevelanders in my Georgetown class, which was about 30% greater NYC and 10% each Boston and Philly. I'm not soliciting pity for Georgetown grads specifically, but rather for this year's grads in general. They are not getting the job offers they expected, and still they refuse to broaden their searches. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
May 1, 20241 yr "most g’towners are from around the east coast anyway and of course they (and the dookies) are wannabe ivys," Minor factoid: Georgetown isn't an Ivy-wannabe, it's an Ivy-couldabeen. They were twice invited to join the Ivy League, the motive for the invitation being the New England schools desire to play a GU football game at which they could pamper their Washington-area alums. The District of Columbia objected because the Ivy League imposes athletic scholarship restrictions which would have limited opportunities for local athletes, the District felt. Thus the Ivies play Georgetown as an independent school. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
May 20, 20241 yr ^ that's interesting, but the funny point is they both are southern schools that treat themselves like they are ivys. they are the fake elector schools of the ivy league. sometimes it's said northwestern is the midwest ivy too, but they know better than act like they are an ivy.
May 28, 20241 yr How would I go about creating a map of every Tim Misny billboard? I would really like to know the full extent of Misny's power and influence. I've seen one just south of Lodi, near the Sandusky offramps from 80 and 2, and one just outside Malvern-15 min southeast of Canton.

July 21, 2024Jul 21 I recently read the terms of a credit card agreement (Bloomingdales) which the issuers hope you never read; their current rate of interest on unpaid balances is 34.49%. Kind of took my breath away. Most people probably see it as $2.87 a month on a $100 balance; it almost seems like a bargain that way. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake

Now, that journey has reached a new frontier with the creation of the world’s first nuclear clock – a device that promises to revolutionize everything from GPS navigation to our understanding of physics by using the core of an atom itself. This milestone, reported in the journal Nature, marks the dawn of a new era in precision timekeeping. The development pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in measurement science and brings us one step closer to unraveling the mysteries of the universe. more: https://studyfinds.org/worlds-first-nuclear-clock/?nab=1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.drudgereport.com%2F

December 18, 2024Dec 18 Cafe 8, a Capitol Hill bar, a couple blocks north of the Marine Barracks on 8th Street, S.E., has banned patrons under 30 years of age. Citing noise, rowdiness, and crime, the owners said the young folks business wasn't worth it. The city says is probably counter to DC access laws; but, because of our adversarial justice system, they are waiting for a complaint in order to act. Maybe the restaurant should simply raise prices and then offer a senior discount to those over 30. https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2024/12/17/dc-restaurants-bans-young-patrons/ Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
