Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.
It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.
I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

You nailed it, it's really like the genius levels left a page off or something.

And not just physical "labor" either. If that concrete foundation is actually going to last, and support a real building, it requires a shitload of knowledge about a whole host of things; and not merely in the 'architect/design" work either: if the concrete isn't properly formulated and correctly mixed; or the steel rebar hasn't been correctly manufactured, spec'd, placed & joined; heck if the subfoundation hasn't been properly prepared (correctly excavated, proper pilings driven, and/or stone laid & compacted to the correct density) -- then your building (especially some multi-story apartment or office tower) isn't going to be standing for long.
And I don't know how many concrete operations you've been around, how many steel mills, or construction sites... but there basically isn't a woman in sight when it comes to any of the real work (physical OR precise mental/engineering); Oh there might be a few (probably several) women working "in the office," in the sales, marketing, accounting, even purchasing, and other assorted "never get your hands dirty" kind of paper-pushing jobs... but they seem to have a complete and total aversion to any of the stuff that is the "critical/responsible/accountable" and "difficult."

Sure, you can grow crops with shovels and hoes. You can put up barns with handsaws and hammers. But if you were going to pay someone to grow you some crops or build you a barn, would you rather hire a hundred Amish, or a half dozen guys with power tools?

What a crock of delusional bullshit.
Ooooh "university graduates" and (zOMG!) even "master's degrees" and... "doctorates"... Wow! That's supposed to be impressive, right?
But what fields & specialties are those "degrees" (and even "doctorates") in?
When you look at the data (in this case 2009 US Census report), it ends up being far less "impressive":
... and women are also mainly focused in the "soft" so called "social sciences" [sic] like psychology, sociology, communications, etc.
Even more so when you look at the data on the "advanced degrees" (one very simple reason is that the "education" field -- heavily female dominated -- generally includes a [tax subsidized] "continuing education" requirement, and colleges have become rife with "bullshit" classes and degrees to support [or arguably "milk"] that system; and it is almost impossible for a woman to remain a teacher without, at some point around the 10 to 15 year mark, having accumulated enough additional "credits" to obtain a "master's degree"... and never mind that said "advanced" degree is in the equivalent of "underwater basket weaving." Likewise with the various "doctorate" degrees, the vast majority of the ones that women obtain are of {at best} dubious value {i.e. a doctorate in the "18th century Guatemalan Lesbian Poetry"}.)
-- What those heavily-tilted-towards women numbers actually represent is not that women are becoming more "educated" than men; instead it is that the university system has watered-down the very concept & value of all college "degrees" to the point that they have become farcical jokes.

Would be great to see a year-by-year version of that!

Thanks - I studied EE. My wife has a masters in EE. These "hard" engineering disciplines are not for everyone. You can't just "will" or "help" people into these fields. They must be passionate about it and show an early strong interest in it. Being "educated and trained" does not necessarily make someone good at "STEM" fields (or any other field). The idea that we need to force "more [men|women] in field X" is broken. If the person was good at and interested in a given field, there is nothing in today's environment that prevents them from pursuing their dream.

You must be a coder - I applaud your parentheses discipline.

Its cool - I was coding in Fortran during my engineering school years - so, maybe even older than you!
