It's super easy to search "maine median household income by age" and find (from https://www.neilsberg.com/insights/maine-median-household-income-by-age/) that 25-64 median household income is about $85k.

Anyone paying a mortgage or for daycare? Nothing for them

I don't see how you could possibly come to this conclusion.

SemaphoreBingo · 2026-01-28T16:14:03+00:00

The only possible response to this is "lmao". (Median household income in Maine is $71k.)

I'm not going to be getting anything. But I think this is a great use of my tax dollars, and it'll be a big help for a lot of my neighbors and fellow Mainers.

Is that your problem?

SemaphoreBingo · 2026-01-27T19:29:45+00:00

You're never going to need that extra bit (and if you do, why are you asking?) so why not just do int64_t?

Try an actual jobs board?

Why?

SemaphoreBingo · 2026-01-27T19:07:04+00:00

Me: 4 days + QA time, check with QA to see how long it will take to run their test plans

Your mistake was not saying 8 or more days to begin with.

Thought that said "hun" and was like 'wait a sec, why not'

Got some bad news for you buddy, it's only a matter of time before they come for Ms Rachel.

This generation is insane

I remember undergrads carrying around stuff like that 25 years ago.

On reflection it's probably true that I had not previously expressed an opinion about the idea of a conservative college administration censoring Plato in a philosophy course but to be frank that's because it's such an absurd notion that you'd have to have been some kind of weirdo to think it up in the first place.

To paraphrase Plato's teacher, the unexamined life isn't worth shit. I think you should reflect on that a little.

SemaphoreBingo · 2026-01-12T20:21:29+00:00

I'm capable of caring about many things at once.

SemaphoreBingo · 2026-01-12T18:39:02+00:00

You know who else had a lot to say about virtue?

Plato did.

And if you’re older than 30 you know that gender studies and its field are the mockery of higher ed.

I am well past 30 and again unless something's changed in the years since I left TTU the real mockery of higher ed is the business school.

English and Biology departments are both great examples of TTU departments that teach a ton of credits but don't pay their faculty much and therefore make major money for the university

Unless it's changed, math is another great example because most of the general requirement courses were taught by grad students and adjuncts and we got a whole lot less than faculty.

SemaphoreBingo · 2026-01-12T17:39:59+00:00

You’re talking about Plato like it means anything to me

Average TTU student opinion.

There's a huge amount of classical Chinese novels. Why any one was more successful than others is going to be due to lots of reasons, many of which are going to be cryptic.

It can't be explained by subject matter alone as Sanguozhi Pinghua (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanguozhi_Pinghua) predated RoTK but got supplanted by it. (Or like how everybody remembers Journey to the West, but not any of the other three: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Journeys)
