> High School in the US for a year, but..

>NC or SC

You're aware that public schools in NC|SC are often considered to be inadequate?  IMO, unless you got lucky with a particular school, scholastics would suffer.

Th3core, 2013: Google breaks promise - banner ad experiment
http://th3core.com/talk/traffic/google-breaks-promise-banner-ad-experiment/msg29249/#msg29249


"The possibility exists in 2013 that the absolute revenues of the major players will decline as desktop revenues suffer and mobile revenues fail to make up the difference, even as they grow dramatically. This nightmare scenario is key to understanding what is driving bad behavior by marketers and product leaders."

"In the absence of long-term thinking, all streams will eventually turn into marketing-infested flows."

I'm guessing that they'll pick up 5% more votes with that trick, maybe even higher.

Water Cooler / Re: Legal marijuana cuts violence says US study
« on: May 08, 2019, 09:15:16 PM »
I just found out the real reason we're dropping marijuana as a drug... we can't fill low-end jobs due to mandatory drug tests (truck drivers, nurses aids). My daughter runs a big nursing home and has to drop otherwise excellent candidates with good references and job history because of failing mj test.  Nurses aids (CNAs) are in such critical shortage that her company is running recruiting excursions to US territories, particularly Puerto Rico.

When the Sinclair Media Group acquires local TV news stations, (1) coverage of local politics gets replaced by national politics, (2) the ideological slant shifts sharply to the right and (3) viewership slightly decreases. Sinclair stations will soon be viewable in 72% of US households.
