Only marketing people are claiming they are good at everything. They can suck at things like creating C compilers and still be really good at other things. One thing they are really good at is impersonating people online and swaying public opinion on things. If you think you don't have to worry about that because they suck at creating C compilers, then i've got news for you.

That is the single most depressing title ending I have read.

Indeed, numbers on their own are meaningless. Based on this graph, private schools make up 10% of the enrollments. Public schools are 83% and charter schools make up the remaining 7%.

I have no idea where the charter schools are counted when it comes to school shootings though. If they are counted as public we get

Private: 24/10      = 2.4  shootings per percent of enrollment
Public:  392/(83+7) = 4.36 shootings per percent of enrollment

and if they are counted as private we get

Private: 24/(10+7) = 1.41 shootings per percent of enrollment
Public:  392/83    = 4.72 shootings per percent of enrollment

So either way the public schools have more shootings by almost a factor 2 at least.

A phone up you ass, then you're good to go regardless of any cage.

Ask your friend which side is winning, say you're rooting for the black ants, then turn off the TV and claim victory.

Phew, I thought it was Gordon Ramsay from the thumbnail.

I don't know if this applies to you, but don't use the compression flag (-z) for files that already is compressed (like video). The transfer will get CPU bound quickly if you have a fast internet connection.

I went from 13 Mbytes/s to 200 by removing the -z flag, and the compression ratio was non-existant anyway.

Good thing this doesn't make them more prone to taking bribes..

Seems like a solution in search of a problem.
