Comment on NVIDIA announces CEO transition: Jensen Huang has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, effective immediately in ~tech
tanglisha Link ParentYeah, sounds like he was setting the company up for sexual harassment problems. I'm sure they are all set up with arbitration and NDAs, but that's hardly a guarantee of secrecy, as Meta has...even if Jensen Huang had stayed CEO, his affairs and subsequent actions had already created uncertainty (legal troubles? can the board still trust him? etc).

I have seen so many pregnant women completely miserable with a bad cold who were scared to take anything at all.

Women are generally not allowed to even handle that stuff because touching broken tablets or powder while pregnant can cause both defects in male children.
I guess there's some argument now about the danger, but the red cross does not need something like birth defects traced back to even one pregnant woman receiving a blood donation from someone taking finasteride even if causation is never completely proven. Any whiff of danger and pregnant women are forbidden and then publicly judged for less than perfect behavior. We really don't need blood transfusions added to the forbidden list that already includes sushi, Tylenol, soft cheese, cold medicine, accutane, and coffee list. We'll probably never have solid risk numbers on any of those because knowingly pregnant women aren't really into joining drug trials.

I remember talking about the ban at the donation center back before the rule change and was told it was because they don't test 100% of donations. I'm guessing they still don't and that's why you've got to wait.

There's a reason so many superhero movies in recent years have been set in the past. The most recent Spiderman did it too, I appreciate that folks are finally trying to figure out how this might work.

Aside from getting mica everywhere, this hasn't been difficult and the supplies were pretty low cost. Because you're working on a vertical surface, I'd mix everything together, put it in a plastic storage bag, snip off a corner, and apply it like frosting.
Whatever method you end up using, find a board or something to practice on first. It's going to take a little experimentation to get the look you want.

It’s not an official program, just a thing locals know about. The club also offers formal lessons at a lower cost than other boating schools in the area.
Do some resource research specific to your area. Check the local subreddits. Go find a place that offers lessons and ask around if their lessons are outside your budget, sometimes they’re just part of a public pier or marina where you can go wander around.

Seems to me that any message I’ve seen directly from the government but not from Trump himself but which includes his name is inappropriate in some way.

In the mean time I’ve been sitting on a sofa with a cheap dimmable reading light behind me and higher than my head, it was set up for normal reading.
The fancy light is also dimmable and you can change the color temp. The stand lets it go above my monitor when I want it out of the way and the base is so heavy I have zero fear of a cat knocking it down. I also think it’s pretty, a good selling point for past me with a bonus in my pocket that mostly went to emergency savings. The people around me kept encouraging me to also buy something I otherwise wouldn’t so it actually felt like a bonus. Other years I used my bonus to buy linen sheets and a fold up kayak. It was really nice to be in that position, I don’t regret any of those purchases. Those were the days.

Power is dynamic, almost everyone will at some point have the ability to help someone who is being treated inappropriately by someone with more power, either physically or socially. But if you've never done it before and have never seen or noticed it done, how do you know what to do?
The easiest thing to do is to think about it. If you see someone on the bus who sits next to someone else who clearly doesn't want them there, what would you do? If someone in a meeting repeats someone a person of lower social standing says and then gets credit for the idea, what would you do? If you hear folks telling inappropriate jokes at work even without the target person present, what would you do?
The simplest solutions I've seen are mild comments (pretty sure that was their idea), and callouts followed by moving on (Dude, not cool. Anyway ... subject change).
If someone really has no idea how to help and still wants to, I've heard good things about deescalation training.
Edit: I apologize for my tone here. I saw the hashtag in the title and thought it was the original post in life.women.

I've got to say though, I love this thing. I didn't know I needed light along with my monitor until I had it, I'd gotten it for writing.
I feel like the real fix is to introduce shame back into leadership. I have no idea how to make that happen, but actual punishment and not rehiring problem c suite people would be a start.
