@Engineer i think that chart most likely was measured in US schools, so with foreign students, and the tests included knowledge taught in US schools where US students had advantage in knowing it or knowing it better compared to foreigners that might have not know it or had insufficient time to learn it sufficiently. as always, read the fine print of the study, not some tweet.

@Engineer i do not want to get political, especially in context of ukraine, but russia is very well known to have the best hackers and great scientists(china too). so i can hardly take such a simplistic chart seriously.

everyone is so damn smart, whilst knowing fuckall. i think the AI boom is inevitable because of how retarded everyone in IT became. zero skills, knowledge or experience.

i am not really a beer guy but i can say that i prefer dark beers and that pilsner urquell is probably the one i like the most from the standard pale beers.

@Zeb one might argue that humans need some kind of reset so they can build anew.

i found aerstone scotch single malt for 23€. they have two versions - peated and unpeated. i gave it a go, along with oban little bay(finally). even if it will be bad, 23€ for 10y single malt is a steal. also, i really like oban. though they are hell overpriced and filtered and colored and low abv, which is a shame. but that is most scotch whisky these days. so am really looking for the little bay version, which matures faster in smaller casks, like laphroaig quarter cask.

actually it might have not been a suicide. the cause has not been made public. he might as well just dies of heart attack. but i think suicide is more likely, just a feeling.

i've just learned that a local guy that was making youtube cigar reviews off'd himself three weeks ago at the age of 45. a day before he was hanging out with the cigar folks like usual. didn't knew him, didn't watched him actively, just new of him because he was "prominent" in local cigar circles being the main reviewer. but it's always strange when someone is just gone like that.

@TenaciousGoat 30 is life-changing. i think that is when men actually complete their maturation, mentally and physically. i remember a switch went off in my head almost on the day and i became more proactive and assertive and other things changed in my life. it was a distinctive observable shift.

i think that the trump derangement syndrome and the russia derangement syndrome are merely manifestation of lack of religion in modern society. just like the whole wokenes crap. most people simply need something that is beyond reach of the real world to believe in in order to make it through their day. it might have something to do with our origins, going way back to the sumerian gods and how we came to be(if you subscribe to that theory).

ah, yes. the spy ship, pretending to be an oil tanker, that cuts undersea cables in the middle of the day is totally a thing 😂

When do we stop calling it Germany and need to come up with a new name though? 🤔

a sub-4 minute 1 mile run used to be impossible, until it wasn't.

a sub-10 seconds 100m sprint used to be impossible, until it wasn't.

a 500kg deadlift used to be impossible, until it wasn't.

all this means that humans are limiting themselves more by simple belief that something is not possible instead of actual reality they live in.

i think this goes for any aspect of life. whether it is business, sport or anything else. we can do much more if we start believing in ourselves more.

@RegalBeagle the thing is that the most useless people are in the government, because normal people have skills and aspirations. so by a strange aspect of human nature we are ruled by the worst people suitable for the job.
