Not just students - I had a complete set of the Penguins!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Ohh Good, thought I was the only adult who still bought 'em!
|

I pretended to buy them for my daughter.
(The trick was that the ones with penguins in were heavier than the other ones)
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

You can still buy nearly the exact same thing in the states. Instead of just having the toy inside the egg ready to be swallowed by some ravenous overweight toddler, the toy is inside a plastic egg, which is inside the chocolate egg.
I don't actually think the problem is so much that the toy isn't protected, it's that parents in the states give their kids so much candy (compared to Europe, anyway) that the little fatties just stuff it in their gob without paying attention.
Of course in my opinion, putting inedible things inside of edible things is just asking for disaster anyway... If you've ever found an accidental bone shard in a sausage, you know what I'm talking about.

Well - if one "Drills Down", an interesting alert I find on USA products, such as paints, adhesives, and many other items:
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (wikipeida[^])
Fortunately, I don't live in California and it's apparently much safer where I live.

The state of California knows this, no matter where you live. It's not their fault that your government suspects nothing

If it's made for sale in the US, it should also have a warning saying "Caution: Item will be hot if heated in an oven or microwave oven"
If not, it's gonna take them completely by surprise, and they WILL sue Playmobil!

I would like to set mine to Pirate Swedish, but who has ever heard of a Swedish pirate?

Haven't you heard of the "Piratpartiet"?

True - now that you mention it - but they don't appear to be real pirates. They don't know the language, and they don't parlay either! And I haven't seen ONE single one with a decent eye patch or wooden leg!
I even voted for them ONCE! But then it turned out that they don't actually have ANY political opinions except for the pirate thing...
Then again, neither has the sitting governmen. But that's not my fault, I didn't vote for THEM at least...
They've gone and done the Polish thing here, you see: Set a welder as the leader of a country. Unfortunately, it seems like there is a hell of a difference in intelligence between welders throughout the world!

My son got his first programming job before he had his hands on his associates degree. The pay was just sub $30k. He started looking after he had a year at that shop and it took a months, but then he got double and then some what he was making at his first job. The big problem was that everyone wanted complicated skill combinations that were very odd to say the least. One shop wanted Objective-C but admitted they would have to rewrite the project in Swift just as soon as they got the project deployed.
My favorite job ad ever required 5+ years experience with Visual Studio 2010 in 2010.
BTW he had several agents getting him interviews, but the CIO of his new company spotted him on LinkedIn.

Make sure you social media footprint telling your story. Tap into self branding techniques to drive positive interactions.
Manager will say a stream of consciousness to the recruiter. Who puts all the words onto a job description. Manager is looking for a hard hitter, not an encyclopedia.
