I enjoy that “reading the book” and “taking a practice exam” were not listed as activities done. :)

I am convinced the entire actual point of college is to test “ability to finish a project”. A Bachelor’s degree is a four year project. A Master’s degree is an additional two year project. A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is an additional five to eight year project. (Do remember that a Master’s is not needed for a PhD.)
This is not a judgement on the many reasons for stopping.
Might be chaff for AI training.
Just upvote the crazies and move on. Something something Sarah Connor.
MNByChoice@midwest.socialto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I self hosted a World of Warcraft server.English11·1 day agoWhile I have heard of people doing this a decade, I have never looked into it.
How was the install and setup process? How is the resource consumption of the server? At one point it seemed one had to supply their own quests. Are there open source quests available? Anything cool I didn’t ask about?

MNByChoice@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How does a layperson do a differential diagnosis?2·14 days agoGiven this definition: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnostics/22327-differential-diagnosis
Your healthcare provider will compile a differential diagnosis, which is a list of conditions that share the same symptoms to help make a final diagnosis. The differential diagnosis will direct your healthcare provider to offer tests to rule out conditions and lead them to find the cause of your symptoms.
Seems one builds a list of other things that could be the answer. Then one rules those things out.
Seems a lot like building a hypothesis (ensuring it is falsifiable), and then proving it wrong.
Edit: In “Clue”, I make suggestions in the late game where I expect only one part is falsifiable.

Doesn’t hit zero until one has fixed the major systems (by doing or paying) and inflation makes your old apartment Bella expensive. (Locked in rent is nice.)

which, by nessesity, means the parents aren’t American either.
As the speaker didn’t witness the birth of their own parents, the speaker simply does not know if they are Americans. It is not a joke about immigrants. As you correct state, lt is a joke about an unwillingness to believe what one did not personally witness.

Worse, I may be a human today and a bot tomorrow. I may stop posting and my account gets taken over/hacked.
There is an old joke. I know my little brother is an American. Born in America, lived his life in America. My older brother… I don’t know about him.

Amazon’s stock value is loosely tied to assets of the company, but strongly tied to expected growth of profits. Additionally, it trades at a high multiple of current profits.
A company may have few assets and a large stock valuation (the stock price multiplied by number of stock shares outstanding).
