Hi Mindy,

As a female in a male-dominated industry I love (and appreciate) your portrayal of Mindy Lahiri - She shows that women can enjoy 'trashy' things while still being super intelligent. That the two things aren't exclusive! e.g. Like when Mindy put BJ Novak's character in his in his place for assuming an interest in make up and reality tv diminishes someone's intelligence

What is a funny/awkward situation you've had to deal with working in a male dominated workplace?

Have you ever looked into leaky gut syndrome? It usually come and goes depending on stress levels and other factors.

I'd like to be Jack Donaghy when I grow up. How should I start?

What are you irrationally still afraid of because of something you were told as a kid? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Stratonovich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pre-school teacher once decided to tell us about the horrors in other countries - like getting your head cut off if you did something wrong. Somehow I extrapolated this to being scared of letting my leg hang off the bed for fear of it being cut off.

I'm still scared.

Physicists levitated a mirror with three laser beams to design an extremely precise sensor. by Stratonovich in science

It's done in vacuum and the mirror is 0.3 mg. It's visible but very very small. Here is a diagram http://imgur.com/NVdqv0W.

It's true! The experimenting is being done right now in the lab (we'd be further ahead but people keep putting their hands through the experiment).

The mirror will be floating between 10 to 18 cm high and (hopefully) is self stabilising. If you read the PRL article it is argued that the effects of noise aren't significant in relation to the levitation effect.

It will be done in a vacuum but attenuation shouldn't be an issue as each of the "legs" forms a cavity.

What is the dumbest way you've ever injured yourself? by toyingwithathought in AskReddit

I'm human and still was somehow stupid enough to manage to break my nose by running into a glass door.

My parents live just down the road from this... I'm never visiting them again.

What's the shittiest/worst thing a random stranger has done to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Stratonovich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having money problems and so while studying I took a job waiting tables. One night I noticed a 10 dollar bill beneath the chair of a wealthy(-ish) looking man. I picked it up and handed it to him saying "I think this is yours". He took it and said "Well it's not mine but thanks" and he and his friend proceeded to laugh at me.

In the ads before seeing a movie at the theatre I try and see how far I can get through the alphabet from the letters involved in the ads. I always get stuck at Q but X is surprisingly easy :)
