That is a good point. You are probably right that it is area based. My degrees were in physics and to my knowledge, there aren’t too many online degrees for it. It’s pretty hard to fake your knowledge in this area. Even if you could, you’ll be found out quickly once starting a job.
Certainly not untrue. Many schools have gone the way of business. I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s only a small percentage that are real degrees these day but it’s definitely lower than it should be.
If you can complete a masters degree in five weeks, it’s a degree mill and not a real degree. The average in-person masters degree requires 30 credit hours with 24 credits being above 500 level (graduate classes). Let’s do the math:
If you take 15 credits per semester (5 classes typically), that would be 15 hours of class time for 12 weeks. For a 3 credit class this would be 3 hours per week of class time. If you condense this down to 5 weeks, that would be 36 hours of class time per week for five weeks.
But remember, this is only half the required credits. So you have to multiply this by 2, leading to 72 hours per week of just class time.
This does NOT include any outside work. Typically, 500 level classes give homework that can take 5-10 hours per week since it is a graduate level class. Let’s assume five hours to be generous.
That would mean for a full semester (15 credit hours at 5 classes) one would be looking at 15 hours of class work per week plus 25 hours of homework/projects per week (5 classes x 5 hours of work per class). For a total of 40 hours per week.
Condensing this down to 5 weeks would multiple this number by 2.4 (5 weeks instead of 12 weeks). And then multiplying it again by 2 since you would have to do both semesters in five weeks. That would be 192 hours of work per week for five weeks. There are 144 hours in a week. These places are degree mills.
The public hearing for possible action will be here for those in the area:

Holy. None of this text is in the article posted, nor does it even remotely resemble the article posted. Straight Russian propaganda.
There are some important, but not surprising takeaways from this article.
World approval ratings for the US are dependent on political party. That is, they are much higher when democrats are in power.
The world view on China has also primarily decreased over the past 12 years, however with Trump, the U.S. was able to win the race to the bottom.
You will not be surprised by the countries who have higher approval ratings for the U.S. since Trump’s second term. China doesn’t have any data, but I’m certain they too are very happy Trump got re-elected. A destabilized US is a happy Russia and China.
Nope, American tax dollars.
He will still vote Republican in the midterms and in 2028.
That’s like pounding a four loco to pregame. Haha
A friend got me a liter of everclear once and I mixed it with orange juice. 3 parts OJ and 1 part everclear. You could still set it on fire. Your liver would not recommend.
Ruffles had overdue library books, so she never got a degree.
I'm curious what everyone thinks about DuckDuckGo's current settings. I have my browser settings set to delete history, cache and cookies on closing. This creates an issue when using duckduckgo as my primary search engine. Their 'default' settings (available right below the searchbar) seem far from privacy focused. AI Chat is on by default and used 'sometimes', as well as 'advertisting' and 'location' settings that are on by default. This requires me to have to change the settings every time I load my browser due to any settings I save being deleted by my browser setup. I don't want to install a duckduckgo extension. How do others deal with this? I know you can 'save anonymously' your settings in the cloud, but I'm not eager to do that.
EDIT: See @AnimePhantasm comment below! My friend called the election board and they confirmed what @AnimePhantasm and @fmstrat commented! This was Virginia reusing last year’s envelopes.
OP I am an absentee voter in Blacksburg just next door. Shine a light on the blacked out part. I am 99% sure this is legit, they just crossed out the witness requirement. I can see the word witness under the sharpie in your picture. Virgina doesnt have to do that witness thing anymore. We did at the last general election, so I am guessing they just reused the same envelopes. You should call and ask your elections office before alerting the news. They are hardworking folks whose jobs are already 100 times harder then they used to be. Stirring up reports of election fraud where it isn't happening makes us just as bad as them.
The most recent estimates of unhoused people in the United States is 771,000 (https://www.security.org/resources/homeless-statistics/). At $8.13 per day, that works out to 2.3 billion dollars per year. Since he is too stupid to do math, I’m not sure he is aware of how much it would actually cost for his plan.
