I think that's fantastic. The dedication to such a trivial accomplishment! I suppose it's no different to people that grind computer games to get 100% completion. A little dopamine…

Fair point, but then who are either of us to make that judgement? Who are you to say that it's small potatoes? In my defense, I'd say that the suicide rate for men is 4x that for w…

I agree with you. The article also attempts to minimize the importance of the issue, saying "stop panicking [...] it’s not the problem you think it is". Let's assume that their fig…

Sorry for the slight tangent, but I noticed the "conict" typo in your quote. Selecting article 77 in the pdf you linked to selects everything but the "fl" in "conflict". How odd.

Thank you, this needs to be repeated whenever this situation arises.

Regrettably, the Guardian is gynocentric to its core.

I love this tip, but I sincerely hope I never have to use it.

You said you have aphantasia, then you listed a number of ways in which you can mentally process images, so I couldn't really understand what you were missing. Then I went and did …

I would ask, why shouldn't it be laid squarely at the feet of these women? This is something that a particular type of woman does to vulnerable men. These men ought to have our sym…

Hard agree. Weekly, I witness co-workers confused about git, I see posts online asking for help, I see articles like the one here once again trying in vain to explain something tha…

The article says that the berry has "a mildly sweet tang". Does that mean without the miraculin it would taste sour? Presumably this has evolved to make the berry more palatable to…

Men have no say over whether a baby is aborted or not, even if they are the father and will be responsible for child support: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22457999/

You seem to be saying "Yes, it can go bad, but suck it up guys, women might have it worse." Why should it be anyone's responsibility to undergo a medical procedure on the off chanc…

My take away from the article is that Watson and Crick were the ones who finally cracked the puzzle, but that Franklin and Wilkins' (and others') findings were a key part. It's tel…

Gosh yes, I loved The Sunday Format, and it deserves to be remembered. I used to have mp3s of all the episodes, but they didn't survive an HDD fault.

This is the point I'd stress. There's never a "right time", you'll always wonder if you're doing the right thing, and there'll always be reasons why you should wait a year or two m…

If it's any help, I used to use Devolo EoP devices, but I'm stopping. My 1930s house has crummy wiring and I was frequently having to power cycle them to get anything to work. I've…
