  • I think the tons of hook ups in the twenties thing is because most people don't really know what they want and if someone will lead to a toxic relationship. They have to figure that out by trying out a bunch of things that end up being totally wrong for them. You sound like you have a really solid idea of who would make a good partner for you. It takes most people much longer than their early-mid twenties to find that relationship.

    If it's really bothering you, maybe try out the relationships you think won't work, just to confirm that you're right about what you want.

  • Most researchers I know welcome difficult questions. Like that's the whole game. Finding the difficult questions about your work and answering them.

    A lot of the time, it sucks of you only get bad questions or no questions. It usually means your work was uninteresting or so poorly presented no one grasped enough to even ask about something relevant.

  • In optimization problems, you can get stuck at a local maxima. It looks like any direction you go makes things worse. But the only way out of that is to try something that does make things worse and try refining from there to see if you can get to something better. Maybe that living room wall does need to come down in the process.

  • Your employer pays a portion of your social security taxes and generally withholds your portion to give to the government on your behalf. How do they correctly do that without your social security number?

  • Generally, they're described as part of the men's liberation movement. The men's movement split decades ago into men's rights movement, which often comes at the issue from a more conservative premise that views feminism as going to far and eroding men's rights, and the men's liberation movement which generally is more liberal and wants to critically look at traditional masculinity and how those expectations may harm men.

  • If we're talking about home desktop users (I'm including laptops, but not phones/tablets), I think that number is on the decline. 10-20 years ago, you generally needed a computer to function. Now, I use my desktop for some games and to do taxes. And last year, I actually did taxes on my phone (I had newborn twins so sitting down at a computer for any meaningful amount of time was not happening). It was a little bit of a pain, but totally do-able. My mom didn't bother getting another desktop after hers died a year ago.

    Mobile devices usually don't encourage tech savviness and it seems to be the direction most personal use of computers is going.

  • It's usually not "To residents in California" but "...contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause..." So they're just referencing the list California keeps. Which may be different than anyone else's list.

  • "I can please none of the people all of the time," reads to me as there is no one you can please every time; i.e. you will disappoint everyone at some point. Which I feel is as true as not being able to please everyone.

  • There's actually a good number of things: windshield wipers, blinkers, cruise control, climate control, defrost, headlights, hazards, and gear (prndl). You'd be surprised at which of these some companies have tried to put on the touch screen.
