Any time I start a PN lookup for something on the Yamaha that's broken, worn, or otherwise in need of replacement and see the 11H prefix I do the following: 1: Panic. 2: Weep quietly into my beer. 3: Scour eBay, begging for a low-mile recycled part or a long-forgotten NOS replacement.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less. They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time. When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

This isn’t legal, Elon. Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against “activist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

The belief that “natural” is better than “synthetic” is false—it’s the appeal to nature fallacy. Some of the most toxic substances come from nature. Botulinum toxin. Ricin. Abrin. Cyanide. Arsenic. Your body doesn’t know—or care—whether a chemical is natural or synthetic. 1/

Musk keeps firing us, and with all this free time, we’re organizing America. They call us “paid protesters”—but seriously, where do we sign up for that paycheck? We’re open to those “Soros bucks.” Every day, we spill the tea, knowing retribution is coming.
