Not that this is any good, but at least in the US the state pays for the surveillance. Here the businesses have to foot the bill for who knows hoe many unending requests. If you thought it was hard to make a viable tech business in Australi

Did you not get the memo? Gender is purely a social construct. It has no biological underpinning. One can identify as any gender they feel. And then they are that gender. Thus any "differences" you may think you perceive between g

Set a timer on your computer that goes off while programming. When it goes off get up and do 10 pushup no matter where you are. Right in the middle of work. Then go back to coding. Next time 10 squats. Then 10 lunges. Or 10 chair dips. At f
