They're much too crunchy imo. They really hurt my mouth and throat.

The recruiter sent you an inelligible candidate. That's just as much their problem as it is yours.

Give a man a login and he can scam for a day. Teach a man to phish and he'll scam for a lifetime.

People focus on Katy Perry as representative of the whole stunt, because she has been portrayed as the main figure all along.

Pop star Katy Perry and five other women safely returned to Earth after reaching space aboard Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin rocket. - BBC article immediately after the flight

They literally pulled a Katy Perry et al. Do you think that framing just happened without any input from KP and her publicists? Did Katy Perry use her ample airtime to credit all the female engineers that actually worked for years made the flight happen, or to correct notions about the flight not actually accomplishing any significant firsts? Katy Perry gladly took the center of the media spotlight, so naturally people use her image as emblematic when ridiculing the stunt. She is a vapid celebrity doing annoying celebrity messaging like "making space and science glam."

"This is all for the benefit of Earth," she added.

Katy Perry is an eager participant in the outrageous messaging around the flight. She earned the ridicule, not by being a woman, but by acting ridiculously.

If you have 41 minutes to spare, this rant from a theoretical physicist does a good job explaining why people react negatively to the publicity surrounding the space tourism launch.

A lot of it boils down to the fact that women have been instrumental in traditional space programs all along. Publicizing passengers on a tourism flight as if they are pushing boundaries is insulting to all the professionals who dedicated their careers to actually expanding boundaries. They aren't even the first all women crew as claimed. Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova flew a solo mission on Vostok 6 in 1963

The media messaging on the flight has been terrible and regressive. Complaining about that isn't misogynistic.

What's more devestating, the -35% miss on EPS, or the notion that Musk will be spending more time meddling with the company?

The North Carolina legislature has a supermajority of far right republicans. The NC GOP is currently brazenly attempting to throw out legitimate ballots to steal a state supreme court seat, and the courts are going along with it. If they want to move for political concerns, I don't think NC is enough of an improvement to justify the disruption involved.

Have you ever taken it apart before? I wonder if the liquid metal thermal interface has leaked out or oxidized.

Another way to view it is that college classes are filled with your future colleagues, and should be treated similar to a workplace. Students should generally dress similarly to how they expect to dress in their future workplaces. Whether that excludes a tank top is a matter of discretion, but clearly the proffesor did not find it to be professional. There's no hard and fast rule, but I am surprised by the indignant tone in the comments here. Lectures are the domain of the professor and its not outlandish for them to set expectations about what they consider acceptable conduct for their lectures.

Hegseth has got to stop leaking his chats.

Is he mad that young adults can stay on their parents' health plan until age 26?
