With your water only 2cm high that's not really effective for anything (i.e. bathing). Do you have it for preference? I've constantly change my work setup to find something that's least distracting, this would be something else to try..
2cm below the laptop. That is, 2cm below the top of my thighs. So about 20cm deep or something.

Men tend to take care of their home bathrooms (when sharing it with a SO) a bit better than a public restroom. Do you get out much? Honestly as a guy I'd never want to sit down in a men's public restroom (unless it is an extremely well kept place).
Women's public restrooms are almost always much worse than men's- this is something that has been echoed by every janitor I've ever talked to and accurately reflects my own experiences as well. That's not to say any public restrooms are generally good, but the idea that women are somehow cleaner than men really needs to die.

That's weird, all the janitors I know have said its true that women's bathrooms are better kept than men's, and my own experience and friends anecdotes also reflects that. Perhaps there's a demographic aspect to it.
My daughter is a student at a top-20 college in the country and shares the bathroom with 3 other girls. They are all as messy (if not more) than my son's male roommates (also in college). Another note, I remember reading somewhere that the amount of bacteria found in bathrooms is much higher in ladies-rooms than mensrooms. May or may not be the result of overall messiness, though :-)

I find women are messier but also clean more. So more stuff left lying around but less grime. Where as guys will put stuff away but won't even know if there is a mop in the house. Completely generalising here based on my own experiences.
What's a mop?
I really hope that some day there is an all female or at least half female hacker house. I really like the idea of a hacker house and love being around smart tech people but some guys don't know how to act around women (I'm sorry but there are guys like that out there and many of them are hackers). It is even worse if you are one of the only single woman in a close community. I've heard from male friends that live in…

As a guy, I'd love to live in a 50:50 gender ratio house with smart, creative folks. Had that experience in college living in the student cooperatives; was a great time, with lots of creative energy and many lifelong friendships formed. Would be great to do it again as an adult. Living together in a cozy house with 10-40 other people sure beats lounging around in a dank apartment by your lonesome self. I agree that t…

We live in a sexist world therefore even more sexism is necessary to eradicate the sexism. Pretty brilliant logic, there. You missed OP's point entirely.
Affirmative action != Sexism
Even those who advocate for affirmative action generally do not deny this. You are behind the times.

I think it is. Most good people I interviewed so far had something on there from pet projects. I wouldn't expect that code to be brilliant, but just the fact that they know how to use git, maybe even react to issues / PRs is a good start. I personally have a lot of small cruft on mine (old blog migration scripts), a commandline video downloader that has a few issues, ... None of that code was done on company time, bu…
> Most good people I interviewed so far had something on there from pet projects. So the good people who didn't are just SOL? I say this as someone who actually has crap published, albeit nothing complicated. Furthermore, The "Github is your resume" crowd always claims they want to use it to see examples of how you code, meaning at least some of whatever you put there is supposed to be production-quality and represen…
(same idea with a technical blog)
