When I was in HS in the early '80s, the male staff and classmates were actively hostile to me being in the STEM classes. I had teachers question what I was even doing enrolled in the class when I should be taking home economics or the like. The only other girl in year 12 doing science classes with me did Chem/Biol while I did Chem/Phys and Pure & Applied Maths.
I was the second top student at the school in my year, it's possible that if my teachers and classmates had been less hostile I may have been top student.
Yes. Sleep disturbance and diminished cognivive/memory function are classic signs of clinical depression.
I would also say that diminished cognitive/memory function and clinical depression are classic signs of a sleep disorder based on my husband's experiences of severe obstructive sleep apnea. (When I say severe, I mean having seizures, hallucinating, not sleeping properly for over a decade before correct diagnosis and treatment).
Replying to myself, I don't have a Facebook account, but I am still on LiveJournal. Not sure what that makes me, I suspect it's too sad to be pretentious.
As an aside, while I think what this man does was clearly anti-social and he should be punished... a prison sentence in excess of what I would get if I poured gasoline on this man and set him on fire for posting a naked picture of me on his website, I do not feel is fair.
From the article, he's being charged with 31 counts - is conspiracy, identity theft and extortion etc... 1/31st as bad as murder?
Caveat - I understand that the plural of anecdote is not data.
When I was in high school in the mid 80s I had male teachers actively discouraging me from pursuing STEM courses and even questioning why I was still in school when I should be learning to cook and clean. I was the top English student in the year, and 2 top student overall (physics, chemistry, pure and applied maths, english).
I got into IT because my friends at university who were doing science and engineering degrees wouldn't let me do my essays writing by hand, and forced me to type them on a computer in the lab at uni.
I was assuming it was posted ironically or something, anyone that stupid probably wouldn't have comprehended the gist of the conversation so far as to reply.
I would debate whether they are hardwired to accept male authority, rather that they were culturally inducted into accepting it as most authority figures they encounter growing up were male.
Most places that are likely to refuse service will be the type of place where you order, eat and then pay - it would be the restaurant owner who would end up out of pocket if an order was placed and the guy was thrown out before he could eat it.
Waiting until college to make them feel welcome is too late - you need to get to them in elementary school or earlier. Look at boys toys vs girls toys to see how we program children from an early age as to gender appropriate pursuits.
There was a great image doing the rounds of twitter the other day of a boy getting a megablocks set that can be built in an infinite number of configurations, programed by computer and a robot, etc... and a girl being given a doll which can... but used as a doll, you can pretend it's a baby but that's about it.
So strangely enough male children stream into STEM and girls go into teaching, nursing and other care based occupations. And guess which of these classes of careers pays better?
I'm a bit of a mutant, I used to steal my cousins mechano as a kid, I'm the one that ended up in IT.
In addition to the ability to 'easily' change the charges schedule, these complicated systems allow far more details usage tracking for capacity planning and forecasting. Unlike paper tickets, they can track time of travel and point to point destinations to see which services are being over or under utilised and where additional services may be required.
I agree that $1.3 is a lot for a couple of pictures, but I suspect it is supposed to be punitive to tell AP that they can't take someone else's work without permission and try to sell it as their own.
As to your second point, money seems to be the only language AP understands - they were the ones who originally sought to profit from the photos.
Mostly the world is filled with people who aren't squeaking by and live below what we would consider the poverty line, not even making a subsistence living.
Even within the 'first world' there are plenty of people below the poverty line, homeless etc... Just squeaking by or better means you are pretty special, you were lucky enough to be born where you had the opportunity to get an education, support to get a decent job and to have a roof over your head, food and access to technology.
We should make there read all pleadings in blackletter, that will give them a headache, I generally find it much harder to read any length of text in a font of that class than schoolhouse or an italic.
According to Wikipedia it was 94 countries, still not half the countries in the world, but damn close and a Guinness World Record for the largest simulcast in history, including any Olympics and the moon landing.
Is it the camera POV? I notice in racing games with flying or water craft levels it can sometimes trigger my motion sickness from the mismatch between the on screen movement in 3 dimensions vs. sitting in a chair.
Define 'hardcore gamers'. Are you saying that the only valid form of gaming is on Windows? I've been a gamer for nearly 30 years, playing on consoles, Macs, PCs mobile & handheld platforms, tabletop, LARP, card games, board games and whatever else pops up from time to time.

Surely the cloud would have little icons on it for Pr0n and lolcats - we all know that makes up 90% of the internet.

I though only hipsters had Facebook accounts these days, the kids are all on Instagram.

Someone beat you to it already.

Provided they're small turtles, it would probably only tickle.
If you don't think it's hostile, ask three women you know to anonymously count the number of hostile comments posted here.
Sorry, I ran out of fingers for my poor fragile female brain to count on.

Melbourne is much bigger than Chicago - wait, it's not.... hrm.... there must be some reason Myki was more expensive.

Probably not the answer people were looking for.

Check YouTube for the mini-episode Night of the Doctor, which shows Paul McGann regenerating into John Hurt. Official canon and everything.
Those sort of injections are usually intramuscular rather than intravenous - phlebotomists however stick needles in veins all day long.
At 158cm and 90+kg, I'm more Hobbit than Elf.
