Makes me feel better. I know the guy studying it was funded by aeronautics grants so they were probably trying to find a new way of flying. I remember at the time, they were trying to figure out the mechanics of bees' flight to see if it was mechanically reproducible.

Well considering that it took a class action lawsuit for women to be able to work as miners without having their tires slashed, it's possible female would-be oil-rig workers will need help. But then I don't know if the culture of oil rigs is significantly different than that of iron mines.

You are aware that the number of men going into nursing has been increasing for the past decade right? The ratios are shifting.

Since we haven't knocked down those cultural barriers, isn't your question kind of stupid? Like if I said,"Sure. We know that the water is contaminated, but what happens if we clean the water and some people still get sick? What THEN!?!?"

It amuses me that your arguments seem to boil down to, "If we can't achieve perfect 50% parity, there's no room for improvement."

When the status quo benefits you, you have a lot riding on proving that it's the best way to be.

I'm pretty sure she does "get credit" to the extent that she participates in tons of WWII remembrance type stuff. Like I said, that's kind of her job.

I listened to a presentation from a lab where they were painting bee wings with pressure-sensitive pain to solve this. It was years ago, I feel bad for him now that they didn't crack the mystery.

Yeah. We don't mass email about the office winter party without management looking it over first.

Arnold Judas Rimmer is simply guilty of being Arnold Judas Rimmer. That is his crime. It is also his punishment.

To the extent a nation can apologize, the figurehead of state would be the best person to do it.

I would believe that if not for Audrey's claim not to know where the Roadhouse was. That made no sense to me as reality-based.

Makes so much sense.

Because when someone says, "I'm not crying, you're crying," it's always a sign of their true feelings?

So he was mocking liberals for calling people Nazis by … pretending to be a Nazi? Or is it that he was calling the liberal a Nazi? How was he planning to distinguish his joke from the "The Nazis were socialists!!!" guys?

That and women have been regularly blocked from taking these jobs, having to go to court to deal with the issues. So his point is stupid on multiple levels.

How is a racist rant "laughing at the offended"?

Wasn't that what North Country was all about? How it took a class action lawsuit for women to work as miners without also having to endure sexual abuse? I mean, that was an iron mine, I guess so… Different?
