    No completely true. You can win gift cards at bar trivia.

    I know this because, in college, I had to take Greek mythology to get an engineering degree. I can honestly say I've never used the Greek mythology knowledge anywhere but bar trivia.

    Reminds me of a story of a friend of mine.. She did her undergrad and masters in classics and archaeology. As part of her studies she participated in a summer dig on the island of Cyprus. She spent the summer working on remote archaeological sites in the rural countryside.

    Well one day she needed to go into town for something. She goes in to the only store in town, a tiny little grocery store. She finds what she's looking for then goes to check out. Suddenly, with horror, she realizes, "wait, I don't know how to talk to this guy. I can't speak modern Greek."

    So she attempts the next best thing. She tries to talk to the shopkeeper...in ancient Greek. She tried to have a random conversation with someone in ancient Greek in modern Cyprus.

    The shopkeeper looks at her like she has two heads, pauses for a moment, and says, in English, "lady, no one has talked like that here for two thousand years!"

            I think it kind of validates a type of thinking that any decent person would want in a candidate. Capitalists are stupid. They don’t know the first thing about skills and abilities.

            They’re the kind of bottom of the barrel dipshits who would dismiss a candidate who is great at spelling just because we have autocorrect, even though that’s a solid brain right there.

                I wonder whether I could stump you. The place where I work makes a couple of very niche polymers.

                commercially available performance materials

                Probably wouldn't do great with super obscure stuff that doesn't make it's way through my workplace but I'd probably do well with the top 25-30 most common generics that probably represent 90%+ of the market

                What do yall make?

                        Oh man so much love went into crafting code for low end MP3 players in the Rockbox project, then everyone ended up carrying around smartphones with tons of compute and memory resource to waste

                          No, like 0 0 0 0 0 .... 1 1 1 1 1 .... 2 2 2 2 ....

                          and I forget the rest, but I'm pretty sure I know the last digit

                              I know the year most Disney movies came out. Not all of them, but probably more than I should know. Generally, I know the year of release for most movies I have seen.

                              When it comes to remembering useful things, I might as well have dementia.

                                Why anyone would even start a YouTube channel right now is beyond me. Unless you're planning to go full Louis Rossman and DGAF.

                                Working for youtube as a content creator sounds like my personal hell. You're basically a slave to your channel once you decide to make it your full time job.
