This study includes ALL THE FIRST AND SECOND GRADERS ENROLLED IN SCHOOL IN FRANCE
"the gender gap increased with schooling rather than with age. These findings point to the first year of school as the time and place where a maths gender gap emerges in favour of boys"
#webdesign and #webdev folks:
How often do you use fixed breakpoint media queries in your CSS?
By that I mean set breakpoints based on the browser viewport, whether they use relative units or pixels. Also let me know if you use a predefined list of values for small/medium/large sizes, or different breakpoints for different elements.
(Please boost for a better sample size)

Shower with Your Battlemat?
Yes, you should indeed shower with your battlemat. Find this and other tips as I add my review of the time-tested Chessex Battlemat.
Mastering Dungeons is on vacation this week! We will be back next week.
Need to "cleanse" your timeline? Teos has a video for you involving showering and battlemats...
With the clarity of hindsight, it's fine to say Honda would obviously nail a reusable rocket test
But, I don't think anyone outside the company actually expected this. Honda has a history of venturing out to experimental work E.G. robotics, but this is totally new
Dario recently forced me to create an account to continue using a blood sugar monitor I already own (😡), so of course I gave my name as "Fuck Off."
This turns out to have been an amazing decision, because they inject your name into their marketing emails. 😂
Someone should run a Little Bobby Tables experiment on Dario's account database. 🤔
Except they probably shouldn’t, because those accounts potentially have a lot of users' important medical data associated.
Though you'd hope they'd keep the user data and marketing databases separate, and only associate user-provided names with the latter…
Whisper is a popular transcription tool powered by artificial intelligence, but it has a major flaw. It makes things up that were never said. Whisper was created by OpenAI. It's being used in many industries worldwide to translate and transcribe interviews, generate text in popular consumer technologies and create subtitles for videos. OpenAI has promoted Whisper as having near “human level robustness and accuracy." But more than a dozen computer scientists and software developers tell The Associated Press that isn’t always the case and that it's prone to making up chunks of text and even entire sentences. An OpenAI spokesperson says the company studies how to reduce that and updates its models incorporating feedback received.
@jwisser I wish I'd thought of it first. I use a different one but yes they too spam me with email ads, which I have read in case it's an alert I should read, or a recall of defective products, etc.
Oh well the trials of a diabetic life. I guess it's still better than when I had to boil my syringe and needles every week for 20 minutes of rolling boil. And only urine tests were available to monitor how you were doing.
So I tolerate their behaviour grudgingly!
I love this so much.
They use it for testimonials, please?
The next step is to charge a subscription fee. I would have said the next step is selling your information, but the undoubtedly already did that.
@jwisser Back in the days, I can't remember which war it was, those devices showed what they measured. Directly on the device. Without smartphone, bluetooth, mobile data plan or WiFi.
I wonder how we've been able to survive these harsh times.
@jwisser We should change our names to Fuck Off.
That laughted a fart out of me, and now everybody at work is staring.
@jwisser
I do daily checks in the morning and just enter the value into a spreadsheet or on a sheet of paper for later entry
Cloud free, no accounts, completely under my control, it even works when the internet connection is down.
Beautiful.

Oh my God this was the laugh I needed today. Literally crying
@jwisser This is hilarious!! I needed a good laugh. On a serious note, you may want to add their bad behavior to the consumer rights wiki:
https://consumerrights.wiki/Consumer_Rights_Wiki:How_to_help
this is exactly the kind of BS they are trying to document and ultimately change!
