I'm assuming it's a stock image; Google also shows her on a Canadian dentist's site in an article about "dental potholes".

I found that Walmart has some employees that were out-of-work from some highly technical fields, and they stayed a Walmart. It was easy work and they had an almost guaranteed long term job. Less stress. Stable company.
Walmart gets all types.

Awesome! I should rotate the stock regularly and we can make a game of it.

Shall I move this to the CodeProject.AI forum?

Naturally lighted. As is.
Last year, about this time, we went exploring in the Mariana Trench and I turned off all the lights inside and out, then took this picture.
Pure, unadulterated beauty. Mariana, Mariana, here is your trench in all its natural beauty for all to see.
A bull whale came by looking for giant squid and stopped to check us out. With the lights on he looked like a shrunken rag with deep folds. With the lights off he looked natural. Oh Mariana.

Are you sure that is not your bathroom at night, with the lights off and the door closed?

Actually the DSV (Deep Submergence Vehicle) does not belong to me. But the camera does. It was a small camera that I bought at Walmart and I was taking photos with it. When we were below the light penetration depth, barely into the trench, not at the bottom of the deepest part, a male (bull) whale came by looking at us with our lights on. He left the area before I recalled that I had a camera with me. Later I thought that this would be a nice picture. I wanted to know if there was any light at all at that depth and I tested this picutre and found it to be totally black. It is real. This is the Marianas Trench at night, near to the top of the trench.
Again, this is not all the way down at the deepest part. My friends with the DSV said that they had never seen any whales that deep. Only the male whales go down to the trench and then they only go a little deeper, I do not remember how much more: maybe 1/2 mile or so. The US Navy knows how deep the whales go since the US Navy goes everywhere in the ocean, everywhere.
You guys have helped me a lot here. Maybe in a year or so when I go back, I might take some of you with me as long as there is room in the DSV. It is a big commercial DSV used by some deep sea platform builders that I used to supply water-proof concrete to. In case you wondered, regular concrete, here in the US, is not suited for this. The concrete that we sold to them was mixed with powdered volcanic ash which has tiny enough granules to make the concrete water-proof.
Although, as you seem to have suggested, this entire account with all of my information might be just some 14 year old kid making up stories on a much used computer, and when the neighbors come over after school we might laugh at how the adults fall for this stuff tell us secrets of how to program like a professional. Except for the part about my learning C and C++. I really am learning C and C++, or am I even doing that? You don't know.

Nice cave... I hope you don't leave in a building with a lot of neighbours

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Loud enough?

If the floor shakes with each drum beat and the down stairs neighbors have not called Management then yes it is loud enough. By the way if you like Classical I recommend playing Beethoven's Fifth at 1.5x even 2x normal speed which can be done via YouTube. I found it surprisingly more pleasurable even exciting then the usual ponderous performance. If I recall correctly it was George Solti who believed it should be played faster but who stated he didn't have the courage to do so. - cheerio

Didn't Bugs Bunny do that with Beethoven's 5th?
