But they'll be consistent with the logic that you can't legally be forced to divulge your medical information... right?

To be fair, the tech job market is in a pretty shit position right now. For many people it's not possible to leave their current job, even if they hate it (ask me how I know).

"I am hot man. This is hot girl. These here are neither hot men like me nor hot girl like her. EX*CUTE THEM!!!"

This is basically Jordan Peterson's entire brand

I dunno, five different women with very different stories really doesn't look good.

Out of curiosity, what is the practical use of full N-key rollover? I can't think of many things that require me to press more than maybe five keys at a time.

Definitely this, and maybe a motorized scooter for days that really require you to move around. Also check the conference site or call them to see if they offer any accommodations. But, OP, you're probably not gonna be making it 15-25 miles a day no matter what you do. Be honest with yourself and others about your limitations and don't push yourself too hard. Have a backup plan to get around if you need to.

For boxing, since they already have weight classes, could they just mesh those together to have a narrower range between classes and have people compete along those lines? Generally the cited advantages of men are their height and muscle mass, couldn't this ensure even fights?

Genuine example of doublethink. The definition will flip flop between assigned gender at birth, chromosomes, and appearance as often as is necessary.

That's the one! Good to know, I will make sure to not watch it :)

Maybe kinda vanilla but I could not watch past the beginning of The Hills Have Eyes. I generally like horror but have a weak stomach for gore, and sexual assault as a shock device completely turns me off of a movie.

There was also a movie I was watching with a friend but I don't recall the name, maybe someone knows it. It wasn't in English, and IIRC it was about a boy who got mad that his mother kept insisting that his brother had died. The whole second half of the movie devolved into pure torture porn and we eventually just had to turn it off.

Primitive Technology has a great video showing a couple ways string was used to drive tools. Great channel in general for seeing not only old tools, but how each one was experimented on and refined over time.

I remember at the time there being a lot of pushback on blender UX changes, too. I watched a talk on it where a guy really said "I had to Google everything so these guys should, too". I know a lot of FOSS guys abhor the idea of conforming to an industry standard, and I get it, but the truth of the matter is that people would rather pay than have to relearn their entire workflow.
