- freitzkriesler2 3y agoHa yes. I love that series.

- shinobs11 3y agowonderful article, both entertaining and educational. helped to pass the time during my hour-long stand-up.
- felideon 3y ago> This finding suggests that in shallower water, the ruckus produced by plentiful piscine participants procreating all at once might be more powerful and more important for ocean mixing than previously thought. And, of course, fantastic use of alliteration.
- helboi4 3y agoThis is a question I want to know - is anyone actually paying attention to everything during standup? It seems some people are, because they occasionally have insightful comments. Even when I'm not distracting myself, I totally zone out in meetings and have no idea what was being said. The only times where I can actually pay attention is in meetings where I have the right to (and it is conducive to) constantly interrupt with questions. Then my brain suddenly sees the information as useful because I'm looking for opportunities to say something.
- piva00 3y agoDepends on the stand-up. For the past 10 years I'd say most of my standups have been painless, quick, and productive, but I've both selected good jobs and/or worked with the team for that to be the case. Mine usually don't last more than 10-15 minutes, no one has to read ticket by ticket and give detailed status updates, we simply look at 2 columns on the board (for what's in progress and what's in waiting/blocked) and ask: "anything someone want to bring up about these tasks?" to have a sanity check if everything is alright or if someone needs help, or if someone wants to share some quick information. After there's a general question "anything else you want to bring for the standup?" for the stuff we don't have a ticket for, or quick updates from PMs/EMs about things outside of our current scope/context. Any further discussion is taken after the standup, if some topic starts to grow into a discussion we are strict about bringing it for discussion with the interested ones right after the standup. Those discussions never last more than 20-30 min, if they need more time we schedule a meeting with proper agenda, etc. Whenever I worked at a place with dysfunctional ones I either managed to help correct course, or quit the job. To me teams with good standup hygiene will very likely have meetings/processes hygiene as well, and is a very good signal of a well functioning team.
- irrational 3y ago> produced by plentiful piscine participants procreating... powerful perfect
- thaumasiotes 3y agoWeird title, since as the article takes the time to note, anchovies don't have sex.
- dfxm12 3y agoI don't think being playful with the use of "sex" in the headline is weird. The article is more infotainment than hard science. Its audience might not necessarily know about spawning, and for all intents and purposes, using "sex" to mean "reproduction" generically as a figure of speech isn't really a stretch.
- dang 3y agoWe've taken sex out of the title and made it as boring (in that respect!) as possible. (To do this, btw, I found a representative sentence from the article text.)
- lmc 3y ago:-(
- pvaldes 3y agoIf the article really claims that anchovies don't have sex, then you have saved me ten precious minutes of my life. Thanks.
- thaumasiotes 3y agoThe article mentions it in passing. This isn't a controversial claim or anything; it's very common in fish.
- pvaldes 3y agoLet me fix it for you. It must say: All fish species have sex. I would even dare to say that a few even have better sex than us.

- a_gnostic 3y agoWhelp, time to ban anchovies for climate change…
- emmelaich 3y agoDunno about that, they use carbon to grow, and if the bodies drop to under around 800m depth after, the carbon is sequestered forever. I say let the turbulent titillation continue!
