I merely find it interesting that Cleveland has NBA, NFL, and MLB teams, Cincinnati has MLB and NFL teams, but Columbus (the capital of Ohio, with more people than Cincinnati and Cleveland combined) only has an NHL team.

San Antonio, the 7th largest city in the United States, has only an NBA team. Pittsburgh, which has just over 1/5 the population, has NFL, MLB, and NHL teams.

Well, CLI is more like basic knowledge. If you know how to point and click, you know GUI. If you know how to enter, edit, move between and possibly chain commands using text entry, you know CLI.

But you don't really know how to work any actual program without learning is switches and manual.

You could argue that CLI is a skill, but nobody generally puts ability to read and write in their native language on their CVs, sorta. Rather. CLI is a basic prerequisite. IMO. at least.

That school’s about 15 miles from me. It’s one of the smaller public schools in the state, but not the smallest in the county in which it resides (Randolph). That goes to Pickens, which typically has an enrollment of around 40-50 students, K-12 and often has a graduating class of 1 or 2.

I’m pretty sure the fb and baseball fields are combined in some way at TVHS, but I can’t say for certain.

One of the most valuable lessons I've ever had in life was that I undervalued myself significantly. It's extremely common.

During my consulting years, I was at a sales kick-off, and felt a little out of place because the people around me were throwing money around like it was going out of style. Lucky for me, my manager noticed and pulled me to the side. He gave me a ballpark for how much I was actually bringing in to the company, told me to accept it like everyone else there, and to go have fun.

Years later, when I was ready to stop traveling, I decided to just try something on a whim. Worst case, they'd laugh and I kept doing what I was doing. So I picked a client I liked, wrote down what I considered to be an absolutely ludicrous salary, and handed it to someone there. Within an hour, they'd created a new position and accepted me with no arguing whatsoever. Since then, I've done the same thing 2 other times, and it's worked both times.

My point is, whatever you're making, or whatever you think you're worth right now, it's probably nowhere near the real value. So long as you're well rounded ish and have non-horrible people skills, then it's entirely possible that you're selling yourself very very short.

My unsolicited advice? Try to get laughed at. Take your salary, bring it up 30 percent, then start sending it in with your resume. You might be surprised how often it works.

A good number of LA teams had championships in other cities prior to moves, or were expansions after 1950. Only the Rams existed prior to 1950. Then you have several years without an NFL team.

A lot of the east coast and Midwest teams date back to early 1900s. Some LA team championships belong to other cities. Brooklyn Dodgers in 1955, Cleveland Rams in 1945, St Louis Rams in 2000.

Just wanted to say that having the same scores at highschool (or even higher) doesn't mean shit. Most software dev is learnt by practice not by doing well at exams.

However, I'd still imagine that girls on average would experience "not fitting in" more than boys even if they have the same abilities. This is for the obvious reason that 95% of tech is male.
