Woman used as an adjective like this sounds so wrong to me (probably because it isn't an adjective). If you wouldn't say man voter, man driver, men reporters, etc., then why would you say woman voter, women drivers, woman reporter? Just because some people use 'female' in a way that you object to shouldn't make all uses of it objectionable. Do you want a world in which we can say 'male patients', but have to say 'woman and girl patients' instead of female patients? Why??

We had the Sears version. Just not as cool

Well, yeah. There's only one name on the list of people Trump is working for.

Your argument sounds convincing, but given an infinite number of monkeys I could refute it

I still think his point could have been made twice as convincingly through the magic of buying two of them

So, what you're saying is ... sometimes there's a movie... I won't say a film, 'cause, what's a film? But sometimes, there's a movie. And I'm talkin' about The Big Lebowski here. Sometimes, there's a movie, well, it's not the movie for its time and place.

I would not have guessed that there was a difference between the sexes in meditation, but having heard so I am not overly surprised. While many practices (like, say, yoga) seem more or less evenly split between the sexes, when I think of meditation I do more strongly associate the practice with men (usually monks/ascetics). Who knew?

I'm sure it smells better than the ISS does, too.

Yes, there is a gender divide in the polls, which is concerning. It is not as big a divide, though, as between urban and rural, white and black, or old versus young. I think we need to be careful about finger pointing like this.

If we play up these divisions too much, how then will everyone be able later to come together to somehow again blame the left for the failings of the two parties?

 

Seems the folks at ULA have decided to be complete dicks

 

The engine uses a design called full-flow staged combustion, where both the engine’s fuel and oxidizer — liquified natural gas and liquid oxygen, respectively — go through separate preburners before going into the main combustion chamber.

I use Jerboa in list view, which gives me a nice, compact presentation of a number of posts on my phone screen. This is great, except now the list is full of left-right scrolling text whenever a community name is too long to display in the allotted space. This is very distracting, and I would love to turn off this scrolling

I looked through the settings, but I don't see a way to turn this off, or a way to simply not display the community name at all (not my preference, but I'd take it over the scrolling)

Can anyone help? My post listings look like they are on a web page from 1998

Edit: Now I see that the scrolling is also applied to long user names as well, and is used in areas other than post listings. This seems to have just started with the latest release. I really hope this can be turned off in settings. It feels like geo-cities in here
