Off Topic / Re: Americans choose Harriet Tubman to be on the $20 bill

it's because the government of the USA made signed agreements with the native americans pertaining to land that were supposed to be honored, but were mostly ignored during that era.

When the Supreme Court told Jackson that the Indian Nations were to be treated as a nation he said "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!". If a modern president were to tell the Supreme Court to forget off like that I don't think people would appreciate it.

"Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and George Washington are consistently ranked at the top of the lists. Often ranked just below those Presidents are Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt. The remaining places in the top ten are often rounded out by Harry S. Truman, Woodrow Wilson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, James K. Polk, and Andrew Jackson."

do better

Old Hickory should really really not be in the top 10, he was a very interesting guy and president but he was not good.

There are a lot of tribal crybabies here if they're really upset about Old Hickory being replaced with Harriet Tubman. It would be cool to have currency with various historically, culturally, and scientifically important things on them changing every so often. Man they should do that with quarters, instead of states, national parks, territories they should of done that. It would have been pretty cool

regardless of what lincoln did, he did it for the wrong reasons, and I don't think he needs to be honored for it

With you until that, my god what a whiny attitude to have

Yeah, the only thing I don't like about state universities is the size in terms of students, so I've been looking at medium-small schools. Money is a secondary concern really

The school I go to has something like under 8,000 students. The only large classes I've had have been gen-eds every major needs. Now that I'm a junior my CS classes have been getting smaller and smaller.

I only applied for one school which was the state university that's 15 minutes from where I live. Mostly because they offered me a full tuition scholarship off the bat so why bother. But one thing I noticed is the requirements for a lot of private schools aren't harder than state schools and often the same. But the price is about 6 times as much. So unless there is something that sets that particular school apart I would really suggest looking at state schools. Also for most STEM fields state schools have tons of scholarships available, at least from what I've seen

I'm getting A's in everything besides my Stats class. My professor loves to go over proofs and over complicate everything and I'm just trash at it. I'm turning 21 this week so at least after my stats final wrecks me I can go to the bar and cry

company of heroes is pretty good. RUSE is a large-scale military RTS and runs pretty well on low-end hardware. both are WWII-era i believe

I bought RUSE when it came out and loved it, but then every single loving match was paratrooper cheese and I got so loving sick of it after a couple weeks. How is the multiplayer for it now?

I plan on going to Memory Express tomorrow and getting a 2 TB HDD and a 128 GB SSD. What are some good brands for an SSD? I will probably get a Western Digital HDD.

Go with a Crucial MX100 or Samsung Evo 850. I know both of those are supposed to be the bees knees. Also why go for a 128GB when most 256GB ones are only a little bit more

Just bought a 5TB drive for $120 and now I have so much room for stuff. I imagine I'll fill it all up in no time though. I really want to build a NAS with atleast 4 3TB HDDS but that's soooo much money

I'm pretty sure you signed a code of conduct at the beginning of the year. I'm 100% positive it includes something about social media in it. So try not to be stupid and you won't have these problems
