KillerJunglist posted:Hey chem buddy. As a mechanical engineer I always thought there were less women in my field because of tired social norms like "men like to work on cars, women don't" which still pervade our society. Because there are definitely a lot more female aerospace engineers and the mechanical and aerospace fields have a lot of similarity. Also don't be surprised at how desperate some mechanical engineers get when there are literally 2-3 girls in a class of 40+ people.

I find it even funnier because while the tank does refill from water flowing down, in order for the toilet to actually work you need to dump all that water down. So let's not let our economy trickle down, let's start cascading water from the top of society to the bottom.

To the previous poster: it's pretty much a given that some of these are business-as-usual, not that LL101 would ever admit that, and here's a good run down if you're curious of IRS targeting of progressive groups reported at the time http://www.salon.com/2013/05/14/when_the_irs_targeted_liberals/

andrew smash posted:Re: flu shot chat, I'm in a microbiology lab in a major US hospital and the flu is loving killing people like crazy this year. Especially not - elderly people (the usual demographic for influenza deaths). The up side is that the vaccine covers it extremely well. So if you haven't gotten it, you still can and it might save your life. And now you can tell your family members that you know it's true because a guy on the internet said so. Two nurses at the hospital I work at tested positive for Flu A this week. They both had flu shots. This does not mean the immunization is completely ineffective, they both probably got a strain not covered by the immunization. We have all been exposed to the flu many times and they are the only two sick with it. The flu is bad this year, and the vast majority of flu cases we see are people who didn't get immunized. Had a guy test positive for H1N1 the other day who said he didn't get the flu shot because he heard it had mercury in it. I so wanted to ask him if he regretted that decision, but not only was he so sick that it would be mean, but that would be really unprofessional.

Why would you compare lobbying expenses to net worth of specific individuals unless you were deliberately trying to mislead. How much do you think these celebrities are spending on lobbyists?

We've had a few people on ecmo with h1n1 this season, all unvaccinated. It's ugly.

So far I'm not seeing the engineer stereotype although it was a bit odd how many people just happened to know the spot price of gold for a problem we were doing in class. Also, there is at least two people in class that list "make armor" as a hobby they enjoy. Make armor or forge armor? Because the one guy I know who's started forging weapons, armor and awesome bottle openers is one of the furthest left, coolest people I know. Conversely, the guy I knew in college who made his own chainmail for combat club (which was a blast) was a big time biotruther, MRA douchebag.

Personally I never saw anybody give to women in my classes a hard time either. The only thing I heard secondhand was an older professor saying women shouldn't be engineers, but everyone thought he was an rear end in a top hat.

According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Rifle_Association the NRA has a $230m budget. No idea how much of that was spent on lobbying but it must make those $2m look like peanuts.

 Adam Smith posted:A power to dispose of estates for ever is manifestly absurd. The earth and the fulness of it belongs to every generation, and the preceding one can have no right to bind it up from posterity. Such extension of property is quite unnatural. There is no point more difficult to account for than the right we conceive men to have to dispose of their goods after death.

More like the difference between socialists and communists. A true Republican would be more like "Conservative economic policy is to not worry about starting lines or finish lines, the government needs to just remove all the hurdles and everone will have better times." These chuckleheads can't even get their own ideology right. Dr. Arbitrary fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Jan 20, 2014 |
