Did you read my comment at all? I discussed that at some length. Anecdotal evidence of same sex education experiences is that to which I was referring. To clarify even further, I wholeheartedly agree that there are no inherent differences in learning ability and brain development based on gender. Academic performance…

As a former math educator and current PhD student in a STEM field, I agree that this article completely ignores an entirely different and valid line of thinking that justifies same sex schooling in some contexts. In case some are not clear, the gender based differentiation of thinking styles (spatial reasoning vs…

1. My first reaction is to spew random curse words in her general direction. 2. Can we take a moment to say AMEN TO THOSE CAR SEAT MANUFACTURERS? This is a rare opportunity to give a shoutout to corporations.

fair point

the doppler effect causes them to sound out of tune

I put myself through undergrad (and before) as a waitress, and I heartily agree. There are years of my life I can confidently say I cut 5-10 loaves of baguette everyday. The trick is to lightly hold the bread and let the knife do the cutting.

Also, I assume your purpose was not just to exercise your rights as an American, but to offer some sort of (correct, factually based) insight. You have yet to support your thesis with anything other than anecdotal evidence. Based on the standards we seem to have mutually agreed on, yes, I was logically flawed in my…

Actually I'm a PhD student in Physics.

I want it all except the jar jar sucker and the Christmas album.

It is not your place to identify where or when insensitivity to the plight of a group outside yourself occurs, nor is it your right to approve of or deny it. Yet men in America continue this practice with no self awareness as to the irony of their actions. I apologize if my quotation marks were taken to mean exact…

Ah yes, but you are relying on your own anecdotal evidence to support this claim. As such, I have offered my own which, unless you want to provide more substantial evidence to support such a stupid inference, is on par and enough to refute it. It amazes me that seemingly intelligent men make such statements without…

Yah, I'm a girl. My mom taught me how to drive on a stick, she insisted I learn on one, actually. I taught my best friend, also a girl. My mom currently owns a BMW convertible and an MG. She also had a '63 Comet convertible for most of my childhood. Her highschool car was an Isetta. So there.

when I owned a 70 beetle some guy convinced me that the upper gears didn't really require a clutch and you could just move the stick without using the pedal. I was 19. Heck, maybe its true but I tried once and it sounded horrible so I never tried again.

When I found out what a fraud brown sugar really was I stopped using it altogether. It also indirectly helped me realize that recipes are not written in stone and are definitely not infallible. I forgo refined sugar as much as possible in cooking and ignore any instructions to use a 1/2 n 1/2 mixture of the two, I…

That is why they have the regular release schedule and then the less frequent LTS (Long term support) releases.

Does anyone remember the episode of duck tales where Huey, Duey, and Louie run product development for one of Scrooge McDuck's companies and come up with that insane cartoon car?

Why are there so many typos in Gawker stories?

I always ask how long they have owned the car. If its less than a year I stay away.

I have been thinking about the same thing, the community of radio. I think somehow it will live on in the digital age for that very reason.

No matter how easy and cheap programming is, I want a physical copy of things I like on my computer. I will probably never stop pirating- unless they make it too hard. Case in point- when dvd shrink and dvd decrypter could no longer rip the movies I was getting from netflix, I stopped trying. I had heard there were…
