Depends on the subfield. Archaeology is in high demand due to historic preservation laws.

But yeah capping out is annoying, but also common in a lot of fields.

Those islands have different rules. Longest I’ve ever waited for bags

Honestly i just want to stand after a long flight. I do not fit well in the seats, my shoulders are significantly wider than the seats. If I end up in a middle seat I have to roll my shoulders in. If I’m in an aisle or window seat I have to lean away from the other person. Not comfy

They only run out of overhead room because dickbags put a carry-on and their personal item in the bin. Your personal item goes under the seat.

There’s a lot of jobs in the private and public sector for people with anthropology degrees. In the US, anthropology is taught as a four field approach encompassing Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Archaeology.

Each of the subfields have different levels of hireability based on a bachelor’s degree.

I personally only have a bachelor’s and live well. I have a home and live comfortably. But, to your point, I have essentially capped out my earnings. I can’t make more without obtaining a graduate degree.

This explains why people gave me a hard time for getting an anthropology degree…

So glad I’m going to study abroad. Good luck drafting me.

Nuclear energy is both sustainable and safe. It was given a bad reputation by the fossil fuel industry to keep us buying oil.

Well here we are. We could have eliminated the vast majority of fossil fuel use by the 1960s when solar and wind energy were in their infancy.

And it’s a shame that we became scared of one of the greatest technologies we ever created.

Nuclear accidents have killed using the most extreme number 45,000 people. Directly meltdowns have killed less than 100. The middle ground estimates average out around 5,000, but let’s give the most extreme number possible for the sake of the argument. These numbers are including projected cancer rates.

Cars annually kill 1.19 million people in comparison.

Even if you were to add nuclear weapon usage to the numbers you’d still barely be close to these numbers. Plus every time there’s been an nuclear accident new technologies and safe guards are deployed. 40,000 of that estimated/projected death toll is from Chernobyl.

Pretty much, I struggle to see any real human achievement in my lifetime. Sure we invented phones and computers are faster than ever before. We haven’t really done anything worthwhile. No real improvements in the human condition.

We have fun content, but our planet is going to cook

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison to modern day.

People were experimenting with steam engines for 1,000 years sure, but this wasn’t 1,000 years of dedicated research.

It was more like someone discovered the principle, then someone re-discovered the same principle 200 years later in a different, and repeat. Every time interest was lost. It wasn’t until much later that people started to build off of each other and actually pursue technology.

They will definitely win too. If they were on off time there’s no grounds for the firing. Even if they were on government time it’s still quite dubious and likely not a fireable offense.

I think we should take a moment to discuss something that plagues the NPS and allows this type of abuse to continue. The NPS hires many employees on a temporary basis. There are some parks where nearly 2/3rds of the staff are temporary or term. For all the people not familiar with federal hiring, this is terrible. These employees get very few of the employment protections offered to permanent employees. With temporary employees getting the least support. Allowing employees to easily be fired like this since temporary employees can be terminated at any time without cause per federal policy. It’s a terrible practice and takes advantage of employees. While this one has a political motivation, it’s very common for whistleblowers to also recieve this treatment in the NPS. Leaving employees with the choice between a job they love and protecting the park’s resources.

This has been going on for decades.

Edit: I just learned they were in their first year of a permanent position. Basically the only time it’s easy to fire a permanent employee as they experience reduced protections during their probationary period.

If you’re going to take an “exit plan” there are a lotnof revolutionary ways to go about it

The “just following orders” defense. That’s a bold choice

Russian base in Alaska and US base in Russia prelude to us starting expansionist wars to take over the artic circle?

My crazy theory on why they’re so quite.

Trump agreed to pull support from Ukraine. Probably some trade agreement with Russia.

Crazier theory. Trump agreed to help Russia win.

Their silence makes me very suspicious.

Maybe Ukraine can find a way to seize the opportunity

I mean all the founders were.

My city owns all our utilities. Works the same, arguably more reliable

This isn’t a choice issue. It should be state owned and operated in a non-profit capacity, and everyone should pay their fair share.
