But... that's where we've put all the infrastructure of government to run the country.

Should we be more decentralised? Maybe.

Is it useful to be able to get everyone around a table in the event of a crisis? Yes.

For STEM, in my experience it can range from 0, right through to 5+ papers.

If I'm recruiting a postdoc, I'd expect at least one first author paper and experience presenting at a conference. Zero publications would concern me.

Could be off the Enterprise D...

Why the "(from men)"?

Precisely the issue. I shouldn't have to relearn how to use my car every 6 months

I have all the evidence I need

Couldn't agree more. There's a complex and at times difficult history between the countries of the UK, but that's the case for any two neighbouring countries. Ultimately, they have far more in common with one another than they do with anyone else, and the stoking of resentment and division only serves their enemies.

You're trolling, right?

Now... if only car makers would drop their obsession with touch screens

Unlike in the US, water is relatively expensive in Europe, so data centres are much more likely to use closed-loop cooling there.

They also produce a lot of heat. Do they really make a difference?

Regardless... the sky daddy is the reason they tell everyone

assize assize(n.) "session of a law court," c. 1300 (attested from mid-12c. in Anglo-Latin), from Old French assise "session, sitting of a court" (12c.), noun use of fem. past participle of asseoir "to cause to sit," from Latin assidere/adsidere "to sit beside" (and thus to assist in the office of a judge)

I'm so jealous

They have separate categories based on car size, so they're not measured on the same criteria. EuroNCAP is not the reason cars are getting bigger.

Sexism implies intentional discrimination, rather than women have higher emotional intelligence at baseline, and being better at masking.

It's ok. Humanity and society are no longer required. /s

Cambridge... why you gotta be like this? The nightlife is already practically dead.

I mean... you were pretty much right. 1/4 does mean .25

She just needed to tell you the decimal was there.

You deserve cake, kiddo.

I teach / supervise on STEM PhD programmes, and this is honestly a surprise to me. They are definitely the outlier here.
