In the article Landrigan says that fluoridation is a good thing in small doses. He agrees with what you've posted. He doesn't appear to be particularly concerned about water fluoridation at all, but says in HIGH doses it can cause

You can't usually get your own time costs back. Even suing for real actual legal fees (that you can document, such as payments to lawyers) is tricky and usually demands that an existing contract is in place to enforce this, or that the

I was burned by Simple (online checking account company), which had similar promises. Turns out, they had terrible QA, couldn't get their shit together, and I had frequent errors in my account. Payments not going out, payments going ou

It wasn't just another adult, it was her direct manager. The person she depends on for her livelihood was propositioning her over the company chat software. There is rarely a good outcome in these situations, and in the BEST case it ch

Side note: I find it funny that 9/10 of Textio's software engineers are men, but they do have two "customer success engineers" who are both women. No women in senior technical roles.

They're not "women-friendly" because they just cover women. The most women-friendly policy in the world is one that provides plenty of these opportunities to both sexes in equal, or almost equal measure. If HR doesn't ha

Yeah, I've worked in many offices of various sizes and have never been worried about my stuff being stolen. I tend to be a little more relaxed about the fear of theft than most, but the office seems like a fairly safe place.

I'm not going to start an elaborate timed exercise ritual so co-workers won't notice when I go to the bathroom. That's ridiculous. On a side note, I used to work in a small software startup where I was the only female. I was

Sorry, commenting on an old post, but I had to make this point: "Government shouldn't be able to accuse a firm of something, then demand the firm spend money assembling data to prove the governments case." Try telling that to

I never heard "we won Vietnam," except jokingly, going to a regular public school in the 90's and 2000's in the Pacific Northwest. My dad always described Vietnam with a little head-shaking regret (he was born in Texas i

I might be mistaken about what you mean by "spawning wasn't synchronized" but if I see a Pokemon pop up, I know that whoever I'm playing with will see the same one in the same place. That's a huge part of the fun of

I find it hard to believe that the Europeans (Italians? English?) would have feared tomatoes because the acidity leached lead from pewter plates. Several reasons: 1. Tomatoes have a high acidity, but many other foods (I mean, wine, for cryi

A video game console has a known and proven entertainment value. The whole family can use it. It's a reason for people to come over to your house. It's a status symbol. Beyond that, I know a lot of poor kids who don't have vi

It's also harder to be criticized for your fashion choices if you wear the same thing all the time, which is nice if you're likely to be highly scrutinized for your fashion choices. No one's going to call out Anna Wintour for
