There are women who find that menstrual cups aren't for them, but in my experience, they tend to be the exception. Using one myself, and having turned many of my friends onto them, they're generally hailed as the greatest thing ev

As a loud supporter for menstrual cups, and someone who is admittedly not that familiar with Indian culture, I can see there being a large cultural barrier towards adoption of menstrual cups, as they require you to get, well, a little up cl

I agree that log^2(x) is more commonly used to refer to log(x)log(x) than log(log(x)), though I've seen it both ways (I think its somewhat dependent on the conventions of the field). That said, the notation is both ambiguous and non-se

Post-secret differs in a few important respects I think. 1) Its curated. There is someone to separate out the drivel. And because its curated and people know that, they're less likely to send in complete crap. 2) It relies on physical

Theres an option in your settings for google calendar that is something along the lines of "Automatically add invitations to Calendar" that you can turn off, and I think it will fix that problem for you.
