This will probably have zero traction, yet:

1.ADHD is often misdiagnosed in women

2. The drop in estrogen around perimenopause/menopause worsens symptoms. It leads to late-life diagnoses as women's coping strategies no longer work as well.

3. Perimenopause starts 10-20 years before menopause; women in their 30's can suffer from perimenopausal symptoms.


We are delaying as long as possible. Right now it is ‘let’s evaluate when you are 13’.

Many peers have a locked down apple watch.


Do you have text/other sources suggestions for this? I agree with you, would like to learn more.


Halliday & Resnick Fundamentals of Physics is what we used in AP as well as in freshman year at college. Covers most sections one needs to be familiar with to be physics literate (solid/fluid mechanics, waves, thermo, electromagnetism, optics, relativity).


Is that still in print? That was the physics book we used my freshman year, in 1974. It was a great book. I’m still sorry I sold it.


Jearl Walker (of Cleveland State and PBS’s Kinetic Carnival) was added as an author.


That was my first year text book in 1998. Sounds like it's still going strong!


Still used in as an undergraduate in 2013


For the mathematically inclined, the best I've seen is An Introduction to Continuum Mechanics by Morton Gurtin from 1981. At one point, it could be purchased from Google books directly as a pdf.


The best book I came across is this https://www.amazon.com/Continuum-Mechanics-Foundations-Appli... It has a slightly solid mechanics bent, but the fundamentals are the same for fluids and solids (conservation laws, tensor formulation)


I don’t know much about continuum mechanics (unless you count stat mech but I wouldn’t), however Goldstein has a few chapters on the topic that might serve as an introduction


I’d like to know what team will replicate this.


Mentally able =/= intellectually sophisticated to parse the legalese in the offer


TL; DR: the perception of “ghost work” can also appear when employees work in functions where failure doesn’t immediately break the company. The work may have value, but the contributions support longer tails, look not needed. ———- I used to ask direct reports “how does what you are doing map to company strategies?” And if they could not do so we’d talk about what they were working on, how ‘mapping’ might work, and then decide if the work was worth it/ how to learn more about the company so their tactical was also strategic.

This was significantly easier in roles the company publicly supported. For roles where our team failure would destabilize things in a longer timeline, it was extremely easy to not be able to directly map to success, or feel fungible within the company.


What is the difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke?


Diet Coke gets marketed more towards women and Coke Zero gets marketed more towards men.

https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/should-mens-products-fear-a-woman...


Hm. How could I possibly have missed all gendered marketing for either of these products? Coke Zero tastes much more like normal Coke, Diet Coke tastes like its own different thing. I drank both, and associated neither with men or women.


Coke Zero uses a mix of aspartame and acesulfame-K, Diet Coke is just aspartame.


Diet Coke is modeled more after Pepsi in flavor than Coke. It’s basically New Coke but w/o the sugar.

Coke Zero is an actual Diet version of Coke.


About 10 calories and the taste.


Unclear to me is whether steviosides are in the NSS category. WHO spells out xylitol and others in same category are not.


It really bugs me that they categorize stevia as an NSS. While technically correct, multiple studies have found no negative effects from stevia-based sweeteners. Of course, the opposite is true of many artificial sweeteners, which are well known to be bad for your health.

Sadly, many products marketed as having "stevia sweetener" often contain other ingredients which are bad for you, especially sugar alcohols. It's actually quite difficult to find good brands for products made with stevia-based sweeteners. There are only two brands I know of which I trust.


Ski-related followup: What do you wear over it?


Generic clothing follow up: Is there some sort of guide to materials and fabrics within a weather context? Like a diagram of a guy and you click "-20C + biking" and it dresses him up and you can see all the layers and recommendations. There has to be something out there.


Currently gortex bibs and a gortex patagonia ski jacket. If it's very cold, I wear a down vest over the fleece.

Underneath I usually wear a wool singley and wool long sleeve shirt.

This keeps me very warm and comfortable all day.


Some fertility problems go unnoticed for a decade. I suggest to my younger (25-29) female friends to have their egg reserve estimated, even if they at that point are not thinking about ever having children. This is because the original issue can be upstream of the couple: a parent who had early menopause, or low ovarian reserve, may pass similar characteristics down to their female progeny.

> I suggest to my younger (25-29) female friends to have their egg reserve estimated

hmm... yeah, this would be an interesting biomarker for those in their twenties. It could be valuable later in life.

I was surprised to learn women are born with 1-2 million eggs. By 20 years old, they only have 200k-300k left. They lose more every year.
