This is a non-issue with a properly designed and used kitchen. Sufficiently-powerful vent hood over a gas stove. The. End. Also, we use a BlueAir 680i and 3M Filtrete 2800 filters,…

How long can gametes before conception stay viable frozen? I thought those must be used within ~20 years.

Straight flush, but I guess it's slightly better than getting 1-2-3-4. I'm curious if their TRNG-reading code broke and no error condition prevented aborting the draw.

Convenient trash copy to distract people from the actual class war. $47 TRILLION is what's missing from the pockets of the middle-, lower-, and homeless-classes in America in parti…

Congrats at enabling the vulture-like destruction of society. I could've hit it in under 4 at one that offered to let me design my own role in any department, but I chose not to de…

I taught myself for a long time before breezing through a reputable EE/CS program. I always did both software dev and sysadmin. I worked up at numerous big-name shops and universit…

I'm an SRE/SRM in the mid six-figures range, but I've had some experiences like anyone else. I love it when they give you "homework" that they just forget about. They asked me abou…
