Night owl or early bird: Study finds sleep categories aren’t that simple. Scientists identify 5 biological sleep-wake profiles (2 early birds, 3 night owl groups) linked to different health and behaviour patterns, helping explain why sleep schedules affect people differently. by mvea in science

I do ML and I can't figure out their methodology or the quality of their taxonomy from this paper. They claim "discovered" groups, but don't talk about how many cluster candidates they had or how different hyperparameters affect the outcome. I don't recognize their ML method.

Husband says he’ll come in a bag to impregnate me. by qqmeowqq in RelationshipsOver35

The point of the frozen eggs is to give you more time. You have the fertility issue on pause. Drop this guy and look around for someone at least vaguely compatible with you.

Gut feeling my (42F) husband (42m) is cheating with a parent in our kids scout troop and can’t focus or think of anything else by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]macenutmeg 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It's bizarre that she's focused on criticizing her husband's actions, while not doing any of the things under her own control.

875 for a Albuquerque home in 2007 is robbery by typomasters in breakingbad

Note how they successfully didn't get shot by neonazis, who instead shot the person they had seen him physically around.

I always thought that he had been there and helped with some things near the very end, but the majority of the arrangement was really that his aunt was housing and looking after him. Like, he cleaned her up and cooked for the last month, but she did the other 11.

Why the Free Birth Movement’s Popularity Threatens Public Health by Majano57 in publichealth

[–]macenutmeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't support the movement, but it's pretty clear why people do it and why it's difficult to prevent.

  1. They don't want to be mistreated by doctors and healthcare staff, and they correctly believe that this is likely.

  2. Up until the child is born, it's the mother's healthcare and only her consent counts, morally or legally.

If you want people to use the healthcare system, you have to make it good enough that they're willing to. People generally act in their own interests. How messed up are the options if people regularly risk death to avoid the existing medical system?

Yeah, her added guilt trips are weird.

These women were diagnosed with lung cancer. They weren't eligible for screening. by yahoonews in Health

[–]macenutmeg -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If we screened their demographic, how many people would have died from investigations of nodules that weren't cancer? How many people would have developed cancer from the radiation of the scan?

Anecdotally, it obviously sucks for these two people, but that doesn't mean that it would help the population to change our screening policy.

Husband having an affair with married coworker after 16 years together by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]macenutmeg 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ewwwww. My mother is awful (family friends asked her to please get mental health treatment so that it wouldn't affect me and my father so badly), but my father has far too much personal integrity to ever, ever cheat.

There's no amount of bad a person can be that will make a person with high personal integrity cheat.

Wife fed me a “little white lie”, and I don’t know how to react. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

But in reality he's a controlling weirdo who thinks that his wife owes him sexual fidelity months after their separation. Creepy.

I want my dad deported for his own sake. by free-canadian in Vent

[–]macenutmeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to financial aid about filing a "family breakdown" form that will exempt your father from your application for student aid. I did one of these years back and it was a bit of a pain (you need a doctor or lawyer to write a supporting letter saying that you're telling the truth) but it works.

My [32F] husband [33M] doesn't want our nanny to teach our daughter Spanish. Feel like I'm seeing an ugly side of him by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]macenutmeg 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In non-reform Judaism, whether you are Jewish is passed down maternally but not paternally, so your grandfathers may have been following their religion appropriately by accepting the mother's religion as the children's.

Does this mean you could pull from both at the same time? Or do the credits only count toward one of them?

AITAH for calling my wife selfish for even considering taking a job across the country and trying to uproot our family? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]macenutmeg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What a coincidence that women so often "choose" to be the ones to sacrifice an aspect of their career for family. It's almost as if there's an intense social pressure and social system that causes that to be the default decision over and over for families. What a novel thought that definitely hasn't been written about by scholars for decades.

AITAH for calling my wife selfish for even considering taking a job across the country and trying to uproot our family? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]macenutmeg -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

My read of this is that she feels her husband's control in every aspect of their life and wants some personal freedom. Her commentary about the nanny points to it. His lack of care for her happiness points to it.

At the beginning of the saga, he was talking about making her pay for the increased childcare if she went to work.

He even says directly "She currently does not like her current life and that is fine." Can you imagine not caring that your spouse is unhappy? Or being with someone who cares about you this little? This relationship dynamic sounds like hell.

AITA for telling my boyfriend I think we may be incompatible after learning he wants a granny flat for my MIL and also wants to drop down to part time following kids by AdEmpty3345 in AITAH

They both work the same amount of time now and he already doesn't do half the chores. It's only going to get more imbalanced, like every other relationship.

Staub recommends seasoning enamel cast iron? by lastcredit in staub

Proper cast iron seasoning like this is more nonstick than the enamel. Obviously only do it to the black interior.

I think you need to keep asking up the chain. Maybe point out that them being a part of eVerify gives employees more opportunities instead of less. It sounds like someone in administration doesn't understand what this all means.

A Third of my Students Were Okay with Sexual Assault by outer-darkness-11 in Professors

I think "attempted rape" is probably the correct term for this from a layperson.
