Well, what product is the company making? Is it a product that will somehow, at some point, involve marketing to consumers? Who are the end users?

Google the reasons and you’ll get the answers.

At some companies there is an effort to move women/minorities to the top of the pile. Some people think this is unfair, but you can think of it as an attempt to counteract our subconscious biases that unfairly keep us from considering women and minorities. Also, it’s unlikely someone truly unqualified would get hired.

Not every job in a technology company, even high paid ones are in software development. But if you walked into a tech company in the Bay Area you would need sunglasses to ward of the whiteness.

I’m going to take a Risk and point out that there were some damned good shows about working class women in the 80's and 90's. Rosanne, of course. The Sugarbake

She’d demolish him. He’s only brave when there’s a camera around or he’s on twitter.

Colin Farrell in Fantastic Beasts is my new sexual orientation.

Mycroft would have never allowed Trump to win.

In agreement about the silver fox thing. Thought I’d hate the hair but actually completely dig it (much like Colin Farell in Fantastic Beasts...)

If only they would bring back their Mrs. Hudson.

I was with you on that but it’s kinda turned into a run of the mill crime procedural at this point.

Yeah. i find that surprising — i can hear light bulbs, i can smell electricity, and there’s a vibrational quality to a lot of stuff that I can feel that makes me a bit nuts.

I could smell EVERYTHING, which meant we had to switch everything in the world to “unscented” because I couldn’t deal with any of it. Nor coffee, my one true love. I could drink it okay, but the smell was trying to kill me.

Old TV’s used to have that smell, which I assume is what she is talking about? Fellow Olds will remember when you turned it on and got the “bwonnggg” sound and the static? It had sort of a metal smell.

Currently pregnant, can’t smell electricity, but I can smell man funk from 50 paces.

Other people can’t smell that?

Still can’t watch the news, so I don’t know what’s going on here, but I just came to say that Rep. Ellison is beloved in MN. Even the people who hate his politics still respect the guy because of his absolute devotion to his district and his state. He has deeply held and very strong convictions, but he is not an…

That’s stupid, though. I don’t even like Farrakhan, but to say that he’s ever participated in activities against Jewish people that are comparable to activities the KKK has participated in against Black people and Jewish people and lots of other types of people is simply not factual. So once again, someone’s “views”…
