I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The traffic stuff is fascinating. I did a school project with the Rand Corp. around 15 years ago, and they were working on similar problems (that's not what I worked on, my project was about chaotic results from models of conflict, I just heard about the traffic problems in passing)
Happy birthday, Vortex!
According to the class calulating thingy, secretaries are at the 45th percentile of prestige and actuaries are 43rd. Weird.

I'm fascinated by the class stuff. Cause of where they rank the status of my job. It's cool. Weird, but cool.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
women do not have a refractory period, and thus can experience a second orgasm soon after the first;
I see that wikipedia is defining refractory period as having to do with male ejaculation, which I guess would mean women wouldn't have one. But there is generally a recovery period, though it may be of short duration, right (which I would have called refractory, by analogy with the neuron)? Otherwise it wouldn't be "soon" but "immediately". How close together do they need to be to be considered "multiple"?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

'Cuz most people still don't know what actuaries are.
(just a guess.)

Also, has anyone else here read David Foster Wallace's Everything and More? It's about infinity.
I haven't yet, but I plan to.
That's the book I was gonna write, dammit. But DFW has given me an excellent reason to never finish taht Master's thesis.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Huh. The numbers I saw were closer to 10%. And they're not about how frequent the multiples were. Just that 13% of women were capable. So you see the source of my disagreement.
I was speaking anecdotally when I said "most", and then when I Googled there was (unsurprisingly) little statistical information on the matter. And by "little" I mean only references in articles and narry a study siting to be foud.
Well, they're really the same thing, aren't they? Women can recharge more quickly than men, and some women can go off like machine-gun fire.
That's how I've always understood it.

In the class calculator I was way over educated and way underpaid.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
this is what happens when I go to lunch.
Multiple orgasms? Lucky girl.
BK. Have it your way.
Hmm. The creepy BK king-guy from the commercials is seeming less creepy in that light....
