All of them. Ok that was snarky...but generally there are a lot of restrictions on outside tech-related projects where I am (and in some cases even non-tech-related but tangentially related to our industry), both monetized and not.

It wasn't a male trophy, that's the point. I was replying to the commenter who asked "Yeah wtf is a "male" trophy ?" with an answer to what "a 'male' trophy" would be if they had one.

I am not an expert in this field and wonder if the _cause_ of the testosterone drop necessarily has to affect the outcome of bonding/nurturing behaviour? For example, maybe all or part of the testosterone drop _is_ due to the degraded

I run Fedora on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2016, though I've also enjoyed running it on a T430 (need to replace the screen to keep using it).

Most tech jobs don't require a degree, even if they say they want one. I'd apply anyway if you think you can do the job.

When egg-laying hens at big factory farms get past their prime and don't lay as many eggs anymore they are often killed and disposed of or sent to be turned into pet food. My farm would take as many of these older chickens as I can to

I am currently in Stockholm and would probably move somewhere more remote in Sweden, where I can pursue my dreams of running a small chicken rescue operation.

Even though I've jokingly been told I may be on the spectrum due to my difficulty relating to some emotions, I was under the impression that autistic children usually have speech delays and don't really want human attention, which

This is so interesting, thank you for sharing. I was recently thinking about affection in my own early childhood - I grew up with loving parents (and grandparents) who were happy to hug me etc. The only 'weird' thing that stands o

I've been running Fedora on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon since 2016 and have had no complaints. I think my next laptop will be a ThinkPad as well (though not the Carbon)

Thanks for sharing! I've never been on the pill due to the hormonal aspect as well, but I've also heard some things that put me off of copper IUD. I'll have to do more reading about it, but it's condoms for me for now. I

No, I don't really even know any women who have IUDs, much less any who have IUDs and have tried menstrual cups unfortunately.

They are becoming more popular. In Sweden almost every pharmacy stocks at least one brand of menstrual cup, and now even some grocery stores in the feminine hygiene section. They're still not as popular as tampons, but there's def

Menstrual cups rock. It takes a bit of getting used to to figure out proper insertion/removal/cleaning. It can also take a few attempts to find exactly the right kind of cup for each person since they all vary in length, diameter,

I love to code at home and it's very important to me. I've had many hobby projects over the years. Aside from fulfilling a curiosity to learn and experiment with things that may not be directly relevant to my day job, I find that

I haven't been up to date with the newer models but I'm not quite satisfied with my 2016 X1 Carbon keyboard. I just feel like I want a tiiiiny bit more travel.

I didn't say you were far off in general, I said everything you said happens to not be applicable to my experience (or that of most of my team members), and your comment seemed to be providing information about living in Sweden to some

I can speak specifically to the game development industry here which is very welcoming to expats. I get the same sense from the wider tech industry but have no direct experience outside of game development and attending more general tech me
