Yes. By the same token, I don't think Germany as a society truly understands what Germany's complicity in all this means for the country. I predict Gaza will be a significant factor in alienating or repelling the "high-skilled" workers the economy needs: www.iamexpat.de/expat-info/g...

So I asked my Duke first-years if they were interested as a small class project in making sandwiches for our neighbors in Durham, and they absolutely were.
We delivered 65 sandwiches to two Durham Community Fridge locations today, one had a small line waiting for food. Look out for your neighbors 💙

As someone experienced in cybersecurity, believe me when I say the most difficult challenge security experts face lies in the stupidity of people within the organization they're trying to safeguard.

Even the strongest security system becomes useless when some dolt leave the front door open.
