Gay porn pays well too but I don't hear a lot of men fighting over that career choice.

Further on that point, perhaps men don't require as much higher education to make a decent living, at least to start. As a woman, I got a degree because it was the only path I saw to be able to earn close to what my brothers were earning without one in blue collar jobs. As time has progressed however they have become less employable as the job market shifted around but my career has advanced. There was also motivators for me that my brothers didn't have; financial independence. A woman without an education was a lot more limited than a man. For you a PHD wasn't necessary but for a woman it might what is needed to work against gender bias.

Yes. Quite a few times I’ve had some exciting inside info from my industry and I would love to spill it in my pseudo anonymous online hangouts! But then when I compose something that doesn’t give anything away I realize I’ve said nothing and don’t submit.

People are frustrated with the resistance to vaccines from people willing to take a lot less sound medicine and like it or not, vaccines are a social issue. It's actually very logical.

I live in an area that had over about 6 weeks with us pm2.5 aqi above 300 almost every day and many days exceeding 400 and it shocks me how many people still don't have filters of any kind and see this kind of DIY fan as excessive and silly. Ok, more filters for me I suppose.

During fire season this year, living in one of the cities with the worst air quality in Canada this year, I had to double up my fans to keep up when it reaches 400+ US pm2.5 aqi in my home office that is about 300 sq ft. I am using filtrete 1900 20x20x1 from amazon (Canada)

I also have a Dyson air cleaner and it works for moderate to light smoke but it's just not enough for heavy smoke.

To be fair, it wasn't just the CDC, but also the WHO, Canadian, UK, European officials, all in the same vote.

I have a way overpriced aerogarden farm and for me it's really just decor along the lines of having an aquarium. It certainly doesn't yield enough of anything to be worth the price. I contemplated something DIY but I didn't think I could get the clean aesthetics. I have a 3d printer now so I could probably make something that looks less like a hack now.

Also I think you have to look at the clusters (in a state) as independent threads growing in parallel. It makes more sense to compare individual state to European countries of similar population.

I had the exact same thought also because of 9/11. I am in British Columbia and I got a vague provincial emergency alert saying there was no tsunami threat. Amazon Prime was also failing at the same time. Facebook was loading but then the USGS site was failing.

More or less. The fires are caused mostly by lightening and dry winds (some human caused too) by also contributed to by a lot of fuel from overly wet spring followed by dry hot summer.

A small increase in temperature results in a significant increase in lightening which is the big worry.

I live in British Columbia and for the past 3 summers have had to spend at least all of August indoors with doors and windows sealed shut due to the dangerous levels of particulates in the air. I am already experiencing it.

Climate change is responsible for the increase in temperatures which lead to an increase in lightening. Climate change is also responsible for the wet conditions in the spring creating additional fuel later in the summer.

There is also the normative effect of laws where they do influence the behavior of the majority.

You might try imaginging what the metro experience is like for women. Your perspective is very self centered and not as reasonable as you think.

I've experienced lonliness on the job but I've come to realize it has more to do with having meaningful work than meaningful relationships. If I'm doing work that is contributing and adding value I will not care at all about the people I'm surrounded by or if they even know I exist. When I'm underworked I start to feel excluded and isolated.

Currently I'm bordering on overwork and I find socializing taxing. When I work from home I do twice as much work but I don't need to sleep on the couch after work.

Customers love to be lied to; in a recent set of presentations I was favoring the vendor who was presenting reality but the winner chosen by the business evaluators was the vendor who brought in the glossiest presentation and glossed over the complexities and the frightening part expressed a comfort with ever changing requirements. They were put off by the vendors who boasted about zero change requests and making their timelines but liked the vendor who proposed a fantasy timeline with no promises.

Not to mention government procurement processes do everything in their power to make it difficult to write a good RFP and the major players are highly skilled at responding to RFPs for the purpose of winning the bid, not necessarily to deliver on the RFP's requirements.

Even worse than gambling--the output isn't random. You can actually affect the result, a lethal combination for gambling behaviors. With slot machines it's at it's worst when the gambler believes there's a system that works. In this case there actually is one making it capable of drawing in folks who would not be at risk of being pulled into a slot machine.

It's not unfortunate; click bait has reached a point where it achieves the opposite of its desired effect. It's getting the treatment it deserves.

I get ads all the time that appear to be directly related to what my boyfriend, a non-facebook user, has been searching for. I figured it must be some IP based analytics.

I have a few working without soldering; I just stripped wires and threaded them through the contact opening. I intended to solder after I confirmed it was working right but never got around to it.

So far I've got an Alexa controlled IR transmitter that controls my TV, an LED board showing the current bitcoin price, the temperature outside and the status of the local highway and I've got some led strips controlled by Alexa.

I haven't coded for years and it was a lot of fun.

If your reputation is that important to your career, you will find a way to control your urges. Either that or men don't belong in leadership because they can't control themselves?

As a high school dropout living in the blue collar world after some rough time as a teen on the street, having left home at 15, I'd long forgotten about the potential I once had in grade school. Years later when I decided to go back to school and get a degree, I entered the CS program. Despite great performance I carried the delusion that I was not nearly as smart as everyone else. I was also often the only woman in the class and deep down believed that I was inferior. I had accepted that hard work was my only real tool for success. But I truly loved the material and chose to get a double major in Math. I was pretty isolated from my peers and was completely unaware to what degree I was outperforming them. It wasn't for several years out in the workforce where I actually started to realize I was actually alright in the intelligence department and I wasn't just fooling everyone (although I still have my doubts some days...). Nowadays, I frequently find myself in disbelief of where I am now, what my career is, what I get paid and what my life is like compared to where I was headed many years ago.

My brother on the other hand was treated like a genius from an early age and was never really forced to work hard. Even when he failed, there was reasoning that he was just too gifted and he was bored and never really had to learn how to truly apply himself or grow. My dad gave him a job and eventually gave him his company when he retired that he ran into the ground. He lived with my parents until he was over 30 and now approaching 50 he still struggles with keeping a job.

I think about the two of us and how we were both led astray by our adults thinking they already knew what we were capable of. What you say about your experience being damaging really resonates to me even if I'm coming from the opposite side of things. I feel like I got extremely lucky that my particular set of experiences even if they were tough to live through allowed me to land on my feet.
