oh yea

it would have been so much better if articles gave like a list of contributors, maybe some statements from the most important ones and just talked about the discovery for the remaining part

Hi all

Heya Drew

Hey man how are you ?

I'm good, got a lot of sorting out I'd been meaning to do for ages done, threw out some old stuff

You?

Thoroughly surprised the trashy mods haven't nuked this one yet...

Heya, how is everyone this weekend?

I’m okay

Any plans?

Relaxing after exercising every evening this week

After my exercising, just seems like there's more to do xD

When I'm on my exercise bike, at least i can play games

Oh that's right it's the start of US spring break isn't it?

Yeah, I exercised pretty well this week as well. Day of rest here too.

_stirs pot_

Are you cooking something?

There we go

lol

There are some people who make sexist comments or whatever, but the majority aren't out to deny she made any contribution, it's the fact this was seized on by the press and given massive amounts of credit eclipsing the rest of the team that people have a problem with, the kind of parading it around as a massive win for women or as a social issue

Yep

I had a friend over last night and had the pic of her next to (I forget her name...) the NASA lady with the books of code. I explained the pic to him, where the NASA lady wrote all that code vs this new scientist that contributed part of an algorithm and had nothing to do with all the data she's posing with... he laughed, "Yep, seems about right for the media these days." and he's not even a MRA/Egal type

Crediting her with all of it is just dumb. Do we credit Neil Armstrong for everything leading up to the step on the moon?

Very true.

So Comcast messed up my appointment today

They were supposed to install their home security system

But the tech they sent doesn't do security system installs

But I had also ordered a new set top box so he would have done that, except he advised that in my setup the new set too box wasn't advisable so he left after telling me all of the coax wiring is wired wrong and not properly grounded and could cause a fire

So after he leaves my app tell em someone is coming at 2pm
