Could be a red flag but it's not possible to know unless you can find out the number of women who were invited, the number of men who were invited, and the ratio of men/women in the field. Maybe they invited a reasonable number of

Sweden has unions which negotiate minimum wages for everyone in their industry. So yes, nationally there is no minimum wage, but in practice, almost everyone is covered by a minimum wage. Considering that almost 70% of people in Sweden are

Not a single shot of the bike going around a corner... Those footpegs look very low. At 0:32 it looks like the rider's toes are only an inch away from the ground.

Definitely looks like a touch screen interface from the photos. The screen itself is distracting enough even without being a touchscreen. I really disklike the tesla-esque design with it, it feels completely wrong for a bike.

100% isn't quite right. I think the parent comment applies to gay marriage as well. Federal recognition of gay marriage eventually occurred in America due to a gay widow who took the government to court over a $300k inheritance tax bil

If they don't reverse this decision, I very much hope they keep hashes of the driver exe's on their site. If I need to update BIOS there's no way in hell I'm trusting a link from a random stranger on the internet.

Agree completely. I used to frequent cannabis cafés in London (yes, they exist). Most were run by North African gangs who sold Moroccan hash. THC percentage isn't a thing in the black market, but it was easy enough to smoke throughout

Beautiful, doubling down on your stupidity with more tired tropes. How creative of you.

This comment is just "millennials are poor because of avocado on toast". There is an untold number of anti-capitalist academics who would take issue with this. Not to mention that equating anti-capitalism with wanting "the go

For home use, Windows Defender is fine, and you really don't need a third-party AV. For businesses it's Defender ATP, which looks about the same as every other AV/EDR product. Haven't personally used it so no comment, ot

Worth keeping in mind that Shulgin, the guy who popularised MDMA, strongly believed it should only be used for therapeutic purposes. In his view, MDMA wasn't a party drug. I can't remember the quote in PiHKAL but he had a mini-ran

I vaguely remember grapefruits being Hunter S Thompson's favourite fruit. I don't think it was for the taste. And your experience matches mine. Washing down MDMA with grapefruit juice definitely makes it more intense.

Why use the daily cost of the EPA, unless you're trying (very obviously) to scaremonger? To put that figure in perspective, it's $5.8B a year. This is much lower than most departments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
