Can it help my decision making?

How do they steer?

But this could make it dead easy to practice all of that (assuming any of this is real)

His own cubicle, all to himself! He doesn't know how good he has it.

That doesn't count their contractors and component manufacturers

We've had guided missiles capable of nuclear payloads for 50+ years

On Being the Right Size

But those people are really thinking of Manhattan. Manhattan would be about #12 on that list.

Furthermore, Manhattan also has huge park areas with 0 population which is averaged in with populated areas.

It may be different now, but it used to be that that clock was just unsystematically wrong and you simply couldn't rely on it. Different faces of it would show different times with like a 17 minute difference. The big board was much more accurate.

Also on the big board sometimes when a train says "departed" you still have like a minute and a half to catch it.

Google scholar often does find and link to pdf copies of articles on the authors' personal sites.

The Federal Reserve doesn't decide whose faces go on paper money.

That job goes to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, part of the Treasury Department.

I see your jute and raise you one angle and several saxons

I like how you had to analogize a girl liking you to 'reddit[ing]' you

What do people wear to raves these days? In my day it was wear the widest freakin' pants you could possible find, I think that trend has passed.

How big are the data sets that you're working with?

Did you work 80 hours a week when you started out?

Absolutely. Find shops that do this work and give them a call. Worst they can say is "no." I wouldn't mention you don't want to work 80 hour weeks at first though....

Want to PM me some example firms?

Do you personally work for a big shop or a small shop? Or perhaps a small shop in a big shop?

What kind of database systems do you use?

Can you get into your field with an interest in statistics but without much formal training? And not have to work 80 hours a week?

Do you want a hug?

Now I will give you advice. Set yourself some ridiculous challenge that your wealth couldn't possibly help you with, and see if you can do it. The guy in Cool Hand Luke ate 50 hard-boiled eggs on a dare. See if you can train to run a mile in 6 minutes. I know someone who backpacked across Europe bringing only what would fit in a Jansport school bag.

On another note, I used to go out with you. Not you personally, but another saturnine, stupendously wealthy girl.

I don't want any money. I want a hug.

Does this person actually have evidence that schools having a culture of binge drinking or "dangerous" sports actually correlates with differing gender success in said schools? Or is she just flinging around negative male stereotypes in an attempt to blindly sound as ignorant and hypocritical as possible?

I notice that it uses the same word for "disgust" and "dislike". Is that something you would really want to encourage?

And I should also note that if you are American, the draft hasn't been used since the 70s so it's not really all that relevant to US citizens either.

In the US all 18 year old males are still required to sign a registration with the Selective Service, with the failure to do so being a felony.
