From here,
Though their numbers are growing, only 27 percent of all students taking the AP Computer Science exam in the United States are female. The gender gap only grows worse from there: Just 18 percent of American computer-science college degrees go to women. This is in the United States, where many college men proudly describe themselves as “male feminists” and girls are taught they can be anything they want to be.
Why yes, they are taught that they can be anything that they want to be. But wait, there is more. They are also pushed really hard to get into these male dominated fields. Really, really hard.
Meanwhile, in Algeria, 41 percent of college graduates in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math—or “stem,” as it’s known—are female.
I do wonder a bit about the sample size, but let’s go with it.
So what explains the tendency for nations that have traditionally less gender equality to have more women in science and technology than their gender-progressive counterparts do?
Love the “gender progressive” description. Also, I wonder how much (and how) they learn. Is it just rote memorization?
According to a new paper published in Psychological Science by the psychologists Gijsbert Stoet, at Leeds Beckett University, and David Geary, at the University of Missouri, it could have to do with the fact that women in countries with higher gender inequality are simply seeking the clearest possible path to financial freedom. And often, that path leads through stemprofessions.
This is plausible. Very plausible.
But when it comes to their relative strengths, in almost all the countries—all except Romania and Lebanon—boys’ best subject was science, and girls’ was reading.
Nothing to see here. We all know this. The predispositions are mostly built-in.
And the more gender-equal the country, as measured by the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index, the larger this gap between boys and girls in having science as their best subject. (The most gender-equal countries are the typical snowy utopias you hear about, like Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. Turkey and the United Arab Emirates rank among the least equal, according to the Global Gender Gap Index.)
AOC says that we should be more like Sweden. I wonder where the results of this study will lead…
What’s more, the countries that minted the most female college graduates in fields like science, engineering, or math were also some of the least gender-equal countries. They posit that this is because the countries that empower women also empower them, indirectly, to pick whatever career they’d enjoy most and be best at.
So now we know. When women are in the cat-bird’s seat, (as they are in Sweden, equality protestations aside), they pick the stuff that they like doing. Some might uncharitably also suggest that they pick easy stuff. Others might suggest they choose to do stuff that is next to useless. But, we are not supposed to judge, are we?
So there we have it, it all makes sense. It is very surprising that the Atlantic published something like this. But who knows, maybe the editors were not paying attention?
I’d surmise the whole ‘gender-equality’ nonsense was all about female superiority to begin with rather than actually making the genders equal.
Because time and time again the sexes are meant to complement one another…they were never meant to be the same.

Sex recession. I like that. As if it is just a cyclical downturn instead of a long term foundational change.
Note the double whammy in this paragraph.
“For women who are sexually active, they are likely choosing from a smaller pool of male candidates. Although some have heralded this as good news – that perhaps women are taking greater initiative and turning down partners they see as unfit – if one plans to settle down in a committed, monogamous relationship, it is women who will eventually be partnering with currently celibate young men. When the time comes, these men will be less experienced, not only in the bedroom, but in navigating romantic relationships too.”

Ailing nurse alleges to having swapped 5,000 babies within 12 years for fun
Elizabeth Mwewa confessed her sins on her hospital bed
– The former nurse who is suffering from cancer revealed she exchanged about 5,000 babies while working at the hospital
– Mwewa added that it became a habit and she used to do it for fun
– The sick nurse asked God for forgiveness
Nurses are seen as caregivers in the hospital and patients are supposed to feel safe and taken care of in their charge.
However, some nurses have proven to be the devil in human form.
I swapped about 5,000 Babies in 12 years I worked in maternity ward at UTH – Elizabeth Mwewa
A Zambian nurse, Elizabeth Mwewa, has confessed her sins on her sick bed as she asked God for forgiveness, Zambian Observer reported.
The nurse who used to work at The University Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Zambia confessed that she has exchanged over 5000 babies during 12 years of service.
Download the Microsoft News App to keep a track of all the latest updates
“I have terminal cancer and I know I will be dying soon. I wish to confess my sins before God and before all the affected people especially those who were giving birth at UTH during my service,” she said.
According to the elderly woman, she is now born again and did not want to hide anything that would stop her from visiting the land of honey and milk.
” I have nothing to hide, In the 12 years I worked in the maternity ward at UTH, I swapped close to 5000 babies,” she confessed.
Mwewa added that it became a habit and she used to do it for fun which has now acknowledged that she has sinned against God and Zambians and would want them to forgive her.
“I know I sinned against God and may he forgive me for that. I am also asking Zambians to forgive me for the evil things I was doing to innocent children. I have caused some faithful couples to divorce after going for DNA Tests,” she said.
She also put the blame on the devil whom she claimed was using her to commit the sins she’s most regretful now.
“I have caused many mothers to breastfeed children who are not theirs biologically. I don’t want to go to Hell for that, Am really sorry I have sinned alot. Please forgive me,” she begged.
Mwewa also added that kids born between 1983 to 1995 at the hospital should check themselves particularly if they look different from their other siblings.
“If you were born in UTH between the years 1983 to 1995 chances are your parents may not be your biological parents. I had developed a habit of swapping newly born babies just for fun,” she said.
So take a good look at your siblings, if for example everyone is light and you are darkie… you are that child and I am really sorry for that,” she added.
It is strange how someone can think swapping babies is fun.

NABOO—Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has come under fire after giving a speech to a crowd of Gungan supporters on the planet of Naboo. Critics claim Ocasio-Cortez clearly shifted her speaking style to try to emulate the Gungans’ speech patterns, changing her speech to sound exactly like that of Jar Jar Binks.
“Meesa Ocasio-Cortez. Meesa gonna seize the means of production big-big,” she said as the Gungan crowd cheered. “Meesa your humble servant who’s in charge.” The congresswoman unveiled a plan to save Naboo, one which would coincidentally require giving her all the power and money. “Yousa planet gonna die big, icky icky goo goo if yousa don’t change your habits.” She pointed out that the ecosystem of the planet’s core was already changing, and the giant monsters which live down there will likely die within 12 Coruscant solar cycles.
“Yousa all gonna do whatever I say now, okeeday?” she added.
Some Gungans were offended by her remarks. “Ex-squeeze me, but wesa the ones who say ‘mesa,’ not yousa!” cried one Gungan in protest. Ocasio-Cortez ignored his comments, as he was sitting in the cheap seats.
Critics quickly called the obvious shift in speech patterns “pandering,” but Ocasio-Cortez immediately fired back on her Comlink, saying, “How wude.”

San Francisco has been overwhelmingly Democratic since the 1950s. The last Republican mayor won an election in 1956. It is a one-party city touting a civic philosophy with its back to the wall. From afar city Democrats pay lip service to helping the poor. But up close the facts tell a different story. None of their policies in the last half-century have done much to rescue the poor from poverty. Inflexible limits on the housing supply push marginalized groups even further to the margins. The stratospheric cost of housing has flung minority families to the outer edges of the Bay Area, reinforcing segregation. A UC Berkeley study found that a 30 percent increase in the median rent led to a 28 percent decrease in the number of minority households in a neighborhood. Whole neighborhoods from the city have decamped to the hinterlands of Antioch and Vallejo. Stories of three-hour commutes from Stockton have become more common.
Alas, the media seems to have never taken an economics class, much less read Paul Krugman. It is quite simply baffling. Housing restrictions have made the situation worse and worse for decades. No one seems to notice that the same debates play out time and again to no positive end

The Meg is a completely adequate action movie that bears the all too common now-a-days heavy stamp of being produced with the Chinese movie market in mind. I believe it’s Chinese co-financed production, so no real surprise there. Of course, since that’s the case, the plot, dialogue, and characterization needs to remain fairly simple, which it is the case for all three here. The “science-y” stuff is all pretty terrible and people do lots of dumb things to move the plot along, but really, I’ve just described 95% of movies made in the last 30 years.
My younger boy liked it and we had a good time watching it together. We tried to guess in which order people would get eaten, and which people would prove to be shark-proof, which was fun. It does drag on a bit at the end, but still it was “good enough” for us.

Don’t know if anyone has heard, but Boeing is testing and fielding the F15SE (5th gen F15) now. Think they’ve made about 8 so far.
There are a lot of ironies to this as 20 years ago a lot of folks wanted to upgrade F16s and F15s instead of buying entirely new airframes (F22 and F35). Lockheed convinced them that the new planes would be cheaper than upgrading the old (back then the JSF was supposed to be relatively “cheap”). And now, 20 years later we’re doing what they wanted to do 20 years back.

My first child was born in the largest suburban hospital in DC. So, during our lovey-dovey pre-birth delivery seminars there (“Who would like a pillow?”), they walked us through the steps occurring after the child is born and removed from the mother and father.
At the time, I was working for a spacecraft and space communications company. I understood industrial processes, which fail daily, and that is what a hospital that size is: a baby processing function. So I raised my hand. “Since you deliver a gazillon babies a year, what are the odds somewhat gets distracted and children are mixed up? What is your error rate?” The nurse and several of the future fathers wanted to throw me out a window for being impertinent. I added, “No factory has 0% errors, sorry.”
My wife and I agreed I would leave her and follow the baby until I saw the correct bracelet on her wrist. Of course, I wasn’t allowed in the nursery. I requested they band in front of the window, and show me the label with Grace’s full name on it. A bunch of nurses were seriously torqued off, but they complied.
I know she’s my real daughter because she’s a competitive, analytical terror if provoked, and has inherited her mother’s superior social skills and looks.

My understanding is that the F-15s (and new F-15X’s) are going to be heavily laden gunships operating with the situational awareness of the lightly armored, sensor-rich, stealthy F-35s. This is interesting to me. Of course, I don’t know anything about the subject on a professional level.
I am pleased the USAF has decided to stop flying F-15s until the wings fall off from metal fatigue.
I do think we should have another 200 F-22s.

I think we’re also building F-15s again to keep the talent on the floor and in the supply chain.
Apparently the USN is in trouble with their aggressive new sub deliveries because the government allowed the sub development and engineering and production chains to wither. Now they’re scrambling to find enough talent, and enough subcontractors to simultaneously build the new Virginia and boomer classes. Electric Boat and Ingalls are the only two builders who produce them, and they lost talent and suppliers during the lulls and cycles of the previous three decades.
Long ago, I would go downtown in New London to get bombed with the squids and bubbleheads (USN surface and sub personnel stationed at Groton). I loved to stand on the pier because there would be production underway with some godawful huge hulking vessel across the harbor at the Electric Boat facility. I’m telling you, you have no idea how menacing is an Ohio-class sub tied up, lit by industrial lamps while work goes on. (For the less nautical, these house ICBMs, are 600′ long, and on duty, sit silently in the deeps for three months at a time.) We see these things in photos, fine. Stare at one at night 1000 meters away and you’ll go bugeyed.

Heh, when they were doing the initial testing on the JSF simulators, they used the F22 guys (this still during the testing phase of the F22, it wasn’t in operation units yet).
So Mike and the other guys went to England to provide some data (they’d play on the sims, basically, and the scientists would use the analysis for something).
Anyway, the RAF pilots took them to pubs every day, and they were notorious for claiming Americans couldn’t handle “real” beer. So, it was kind of like a daily dare and US pilots got sloshed (though so did the RAF guys). Anyway, long story short there was only one day when they weren’t either drunk or hung over while doing the simulators. Later, that day was referenced by the scientists as having some sort of anomalous data points. They disregarded. 😆

https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/taxing-unrealized-capital-gains-is-bad-idea/
But Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon is the top-ranking member of the Senate’s tax committee, not a candidate for president, and not a 29-year-old bartender-turned-Instagram-star. And his recent policy proposal to tax unrealized capital gains is just as extreme, silly, impractical, dangerous, and inane as any of the aforementioned policy whiffs floating around in the leftist hemisphere.
The current capital-gains tax works this way: When one purchases a capital asset such as a stock or a piece of investment real estate, the purchase price becomes the “cost basis,” and when it is sold, the difference between the cost basis and the sale price becomes a “capital gain.” If the asset was held over one year, its gain is taxed at a 15 to 20 percent rate (depending on the taxpayer’s overall income). Additionally, a 3.8 percent surtax exists (the Obamacare tax) for all making over $250,000. So for simplicity’s sake, we have a capital-gains tax in our country of somewhere between 15 percent and 23.8 percent whenever an asset is sold at a profit after one year. (The rate is higher if the asset is sold within one year – basically, it’s taxed at ordinary income-tax rates.)
Senator Wyden has proposed taxing the asset each year regardless of whether or not it has been sold, based on a subjective assessment of how much value it has gained. The problems here are almost as severe as the problems with getting a wind-powered ride across the Pacific Ocean in the Green New Deal.
So he wants to tax people on gains they haven’t actually accrued…
I’m not good with this kind of math, but unless my stock doubles in value each year, this seems like a great way to get people to bury their money in coffee cans.

Red Letter Media was not impressed with Aquaman so I skipped it. Haven’t heard of Jason Momoa saying anything incredibly stupid (yet), like say, Chris Evans, but frankly I just don’t care about that character very much. Boys were very “meh” about going, so money saved.
Now, I very much was interested in the next Godzilla movie even though the last one was BORING, because the Kong movie was decent. Shin Godzilla wasn’t very entertaining either. But, the first trailer for “King of the Monsters” looks awful. You don’t bring out Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidrah all in the same movie, you idiots. That a Big G vs. X each, plus at least one more team up movie you’re throwing away. 4 freaking chances to make $250-500 million a apiece, you festering twats.

She warned against developing nuclear weapons that are “tactile,” warning such weapons are dangerous and should not be developed.
There is no such thing as a “tactile nuclear weapon.” Gillibrand meant to attack tactical nuclear weapons
