You all talk as if the laws of mathematics are going to be rewritten
No, they talk as though the current level of computer cryptography and its reliance on the computational difficult of factoring arbitrary large primes is going to break when that factoring ceases to be 'difficult'.
it's a bummer to know that I'm surrounded by so many dummies on this site
Ah, that old classic. The age-old riposte: Look in a mirror.
Erm. As it happens he did indeed explore the possibility of deforestation leading the Earth into a spiralling cold cycle resulting in more Martian conditions: https://io9.gizmodo.com/heres-...
Of course, at the same time he contemplated the opposite happening. Venus anybody?
The thing is, a dozen cows will provide pretty much all the meat I'll need for the rest of my life.
If the planet can't sustain the acre of pasture needed to raise those cows (sequentially, because after all I'm not eating them all at once) for me then it's already fucked.
Finally, what stories about animal fat being good for you? Can you cite one? Or are you just talking about your feelings?
Here's an entirely completely totally unbiased source with no reason at all to tell anything other than the absolute objective truth: https://greatbritishmeat.com/b...
Maybe people with disposable income reached that fortunate situation by buying from companies that give them great value all the time, not merely when they can dig through a bag full of shit and find the one magical coupon.
Women in the UK can get legal aid to help pay divorce costs if they're recognised as victims of domestic abuse.
To get recognition they need to.. make an accusation.
Check the graphs of legal aid awards by gender over time and see if you can spot the date on which that loophole became the primary way to get legal aid.
Even beyond that, for a woman to fail to get custody of the children would require strong evidence of abuse. For a man to fail to get custody of the children merely requires an accusation of abuse. Women are heavily incentivised to lie about this issue far more than men are.
I also don't want to get a job working in a kindergarten, where a human instinct to comfort an upset child drastically increases the risk of false accusations.
Perceived risk matters, whether borne out by reality. There are women out there that make ludicrous claims like "all men are rapists" so you're surprised that men prefer to avoid professions in which they perceive a substantially higher risk of unfounded allegations that can cost them a career, their family and their home?
Do I need a stat? My statement is that all men are at risk. Any stat higher than 0% would support me. Simple anecdotes demonstrate that the stat is higher than 0%.
It doesn't matter what the chances of a false accusation against Mike Pence are, he's determined that the chance exists and is taking pro-active measures to protect himself. Is that really so bad?
You'll be telling me next that women should walk alone through unlit streets at 2am wearing a bikini. I mean, the chances of something bad happening to them are extremely low, so why should they avoid taking the risk.
The study you cited is right at the lowest range of all studies done into the subject. 8% is generally regarded as the minimum bar.
But we're not talking about rape accusations anyway, so well done on trying to shift the goalposts.
The '1 in 14000' stat you quoted is also delightfully misleading. Almost no sexual harassment claims ever get anywhere near the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as they're dealt with by managers, with or without support from HR.
You are several times more likely to be poisoned by something you eat than falsely accused in the absolute worst case.
I've been falsely accused. I know many other men that have been falsely accused. Mike Pence has a rule because he recognises the risk of being falsely accused. Linus Torvalds had a conference rule because of the risk of being falsely accused. Many men refuse to be alone in an office with a closed door with a female colleague because they do not want to risk being falsely accused.
At a guess, men will talk about "I did" and not "We did". Men will use terms associated with power and leadership, women will use terms associated with teamwork and collaboration. Personal interests will be different. Education qualifications will be different. Font choices will be different.
But I'm guessing, throwing in a few stereotypes, building on some knowledge of tailoring job adverts to be gender neutral. What I haven't seen are the studies from large HR departments or recruitment agencies that more formally explore and articulate the differences.
The thing is, most men are not going to make advances on a teaching assistant, or seek to ruin that person's career.
All men are however at risk of a false accusation.
Teaching assistants can make their own choice of which risks to their career they accept. The person to whom you replied is doing exactly the same, by eliminating an obvious risk vector.
Pay, no, but.. it would cost several thousand pounds to re-acquire the games in my Steam library. You can bet there'll be action if I lose access to it.
So you're ok with 40 million Egyptians, 20 million Canadians, Australians and South Africans and 250 million Americans all turning up to live in Holland?
UK airports are using passport scanners instead of border guards as you land. Those are using biometrics, and do fail on photographs intended to subvert them.
The fall-back process is to route the passenger through to a border guard. They can look at the photograph, confirm that it matches the person stood in front of them, and allow them into the country.
So the photograph wont prevent her from travelling, just delay her at border control.

or goats. Goats are awesome. Harsh climates in Africa support domesticated goats where sheep would struggle.
Nope. A fantastic 14oz fillet was fed and reared, the beef sausage is merely edible waste from that process.

I don't throw them at the cashier, I just leave them behind.
Why the fuck would I want a paper receipt for buying anything that isn't going to need potential warranty work?
Stop wasting paper, because I am going to just leave it on your counter.
This is the one I remembered:

I haven't had an issue with children, and I take photographs of other peoples' children without seeking permission first.
I have had an issue with idiots in the workplace.
But thanks for the anecdote, and I hope you continue to be treated nicely.
I take on this risk, every time I go to work.

On the flip side, UD helped get the System Control and Testing team's acronym changed.

American manager, "I don't know that word"
Me, "Urban dictionary will explain it, and how it's appropriate in the context in which I used it"
it is still much easier for a mediocre man to get hired than a mediocre woman
That is just total bullshit.
There just happen to be a lot more mediocre men trying to get hired.

Same driver, highway miles, AP vs no-AP, AP wins every time.
Bullshit.

Maybe we just disagree on the meaning of the word 'win'.
I'd rather support the Chinese motor industry than the American one but I'm not sure what your point here is.
