Hopefully, this year is about to end, soon.

The prices are a fractional multiple of a dollar, you see. So... Dollar Store!

Fortran's niche is scientific applications. Support for vectors, matrices, even imaginary numbers included in the standard library. Address-passing by default. Readily parallelizable using OpenMP and MPI with lots of constructs for using loops optimally. Sure you can use libraries to do all this in C/C++, too. But we are talking about convenience here.

Interesting that you mention chemical engineering. In some countries, like Germany, that are, often unwillingly, currently in the process of de-industrialization, Chemical Engineering does not look very promising. Production is in China and the engineering is moving to India. I would recommend to a yound chemical engineer to go into biotech: fermenter technology and the like. Foodstuffs and pharma are the two things that the "west" will keep producing and they both are fermenter-heavy. All other commodities are in Asia now. MSE is also promising, since new technologies are based on new materials, but I think that you can enter this are much more efficiently from Materials Science than Chemical Engineering.

Cool, I didn't know that, thanks!

We have only begun taking samples from "comets and asteroids". A sample or two are NOT representative of what's going on in the enormous universe.

Celibacy is what unites us.

Indeed. Would it also work if they were dressed as a chicken? Or a dog?

I was thinking about something more along the style of Flavor Flav.

All of them, of course.

There are a few used CRT monitors on eBay and AliExpress.

I often enjoy discourses where articulated, well-aimed, and thorough arguments are exchanged between the debating participants. But I also can't help but marvel at the spartan unambiguity of points like yours, especially when fired at point-blank range.

It seems that Apple has figured out that poor people have valuable data, too!

I have always pondered if there could be different kind of mathematics than what humans' have invented.

So maybe the computer uses different kind of math and exists in different physics/matter so it can still simulate our universe?

People have right to be mentally-ill!

Just look at gays, they are not reproducing and ill but almost nobody tries to cure them anymore.

Psychiatrists have no right to try to "convert" mentally-ill people into "healthy". (Thomas Szasz)
