The funny thing is, to me the 20 something does come of feeling entitled, after posting this personal message everywhere because she did not get here way.
Now obviously the original lady was a rude, but so what? Somehow being rude to someone is grounds for public evisceration these days? Of course being publicly humiliated is way worse than being rude to someone.
Not quite. Her own words were copied and pasted by the offended party and willfully distributed.
This isn't the case of one person being an a-hole to another in public in front of witnesses who could repeat the affair and shame the offending party: it's a case where the offended person chose to make it personal and punish the other.
The choice isn't giving $3000 to be a voluntourist, and give $3000 to a charity to hire locals to do the work. The other choice is to go to Europe and blow $3000 having a good time.
Exactly this, voluntourism is an exchange of money for time spent experiencing a very different culture which you can tell other people about for a long time and also feel good while telling stories to kids or laying bricks. Oh and a week long safari according to the article.
There is very little that is altruistic about the practice and an altruistic option is not an option for most people who go on these trips. I don't know what cut of the $3000 the school in the article got, but if it wasn't enough then I'm sure they wouldn't invite a load of useless white kids around to set their construction back.
So what size classes should someone have stepped in? 70? 100? Not to mention that having so many in a class was probably a H&S hazard.
It seems more Escalante was the one not prepared to compromise in this instance.
This is exactly the sort of thing unions should step in to solve, so you will have to find another example of why unions are not all good. There are plenty out there.
I can still remember the client wanting the underlined links removed from the website. I explained that this was how everybody new what a link was, but it didn't fit the style. The first time I heard about this css thing. It was tables all the way down in those days, and there was talk that this wasn't the best way to do things.
Yet still to this day, something are only manageable with tables. But with have display:table-cell now, so it is all different.
That piece of dust might well hold 20Tb of dead genetic material from whatever created it... consider that a single human cell contains 3.2Gb of data in its DNA.
> a single human cell contains 3.2Gb of data in its DNA
DNA is actually closer to 750MB (2.9 billion base pairs, 2 bits to one DNA sequence, so one byte to four sequences). Of course, a cell has other things going on in it (mitochondrial DNA, etc, so overall you're probably still right!
Mitochondrial DNA is only 17k base pairs. More important is the two main DNA copies per cell. But if you really want impressive numbers look at certain species of amphibians and plants that reach the 100 billion base pair range.
