Notice how people are blaming it on infrastructure – and not on inability to share information, and coordinate?

What the Fjuck!? This seems a natural evolution of today’s materialism, nihilism and atheism. What a life! Pre- morbid decay in above ground crypts. Wow! It’s in the same category as “Anora”, a glimpse of chaotic, destructive, prurient, liberally F - bomb-laced drug-fueled, de rigueur Academy Award-winning breast picture. Have we hit bottom, yet?

You forgot a couple of things: feminism and sodomy. This reminds me of a quote from the film Deconstructing Harry:
Doris: You have no values. Your whole life: it’s nihilism, it’s cynicism, it’s sarcasm and orgasm.

One way propagation delay: 350e3(m)/3e8(m/s)*1e3(ms/s)=1.167ms
LTE/5G slot processing delay: ~1ms
One way total: ~2.167ms
Round-trip: ~4.33ms
Is there a controversy?

I did not see the question. It shows a graph of students enrolled in remedial math by major.
It does correct for total enrollment in the given majors.
I thought biology was an undergraduate major for many aspiring medical doctors. Might have to start requesting that my doctor hang his undergraduate degrees up on the wall. It might be more informative than the medical degree posted.

Thank you. Universities are committing grand larceny on an unbelievable scale. I guess so is the k-12 system.
