I think both are capable of high intelligence and amazing amounts of ignorance. That being said, I think men and women have a different kinds of intelligence as per majority patterns. Women tend to be more emotionally and creatively intelligent whereas men tend to be better problem solvers and inventors. Whether we like it or not, female humans are hardwired to be gatherers and male humans are hardwired to be hunters. Everything comes from the basis of that. Not in ALL cases, but in most. This is why men tend to be better leaders and women tend to be better team builders and followers. Both are equally important.

I don't like this. I think it is find to vote with your dollar and spend your time elsewhere if there is something you do not like... But going after people for things they have said or done in the past is just ridiculous. I don't know when this started or why, but I am sick of it. It just has enabled a small group of people to virtually shut a person's life down. It isn't right.

I just upgrade parts in my PC every few years but I am looking to downsize away from a bulky gaming rig to a mini. I can get so much power for so little these days it is worth just having a smaller computer to allow for more desk space. My desk is fairly crammed!

Currently have a home media server that doubles as a Nextcloud server, DNS, video encoding, and just a bunch of other apps. Been working on setting it up since the beginning of the year and do it bit by bit. I plan to eventually integrate home security as well. Does anyone else here do a mixed home media server that does a bunch of things for you?

We have a decent amount of wildlife around here. I would like more of it though. I started putting out hummingbird feeders this last summer and it has been a treat to watch them. My cat absolutely loves to sit in the window and watch them buzz and zip around. I would like to get more animals coming closer to my home, especially to keep insect populations in check. What are some easy (and cheap) ways to encourage this?

I only just now realized there was an introduction area. Oops! haha Anyways, I am new here. Been looking to join a new forum that focuses mostly just on community and talking about current things. The last forum I was a member on for many years shut down. I have not been able to find a replacement yet. This one looks and feels promising though! I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to e-meeting new people :D

I want to try and grow some vegetables indoors. I am not sure where to begin with this having never done it. I know I will need a shelf and some grow lights. They can be fairly cheap on Amazon but I want to make sure whatever set up I do go with, it is good enough to produce food. Anyone here do indoor gardening?

I grew a garden this past summer and because of the weeds sprouting up, I used one of those garden tarps. It worked for a while but eventually the weeds burst through and now I have a mess! I am looking into doing slabs once they die down over the winter to prevent them from coming back.

I did when I was younger. I also cracked my neck. Do not make a habit of this! I have neck problems now because of it. I get horrific occipital migraines (occipital neuralgia) now if I accidentally crack my neck or turn it too much/too fast.

I used to sleep 8 to 9 hours straight. My sleep slowly started getting messed up. Now I am lucky to get 4 hours straight before waking up. I am able to fall back asleep most nights but I average around 6 hours of broken sleep. I would like to get to a point where I am sleeping 7 hours straight again. I would be happy with that!

Who here uses Linux? I made the switch away from Windows in 2016 and have not looked back. I feel more comfortable and better secured on Linux vs Windows there they basically allow back-doors to everything on your PC. No thanks! I am currently using KDE Plasma. This is a recent change for me. I never used it before but have been enjoying it. Previous to this I was using Cinnamon and while I switched around a few times I always went back to it. Any other Linux users here?

SmartLess was the last one I listened to. I listen to it on and off depending on the guest they have on. I used to listen to Joe Rogan's show but got bored with it. I have never been fully invested in podcasts so I come and go from them. I would rather watch videos than listen to people talking I guess.

I haven't followed them in years. I was not even aware they broke up or were still making music. I think their old music was great but as far as I know, nothing in recent years has been worth listening to. At least, not to me. I am very picky with music now. The older I get, the less I enjoy and listen to.

I saw a review of the first episode and decided it wasn't for me. They cannot recapture the magic and fun of That 70's show. The cast was better and honestly, if I want to go back any enjoy the '90s again, I will just watch things made at the time. A good example is Rosanne. I loved that show growing up.

Nope. There is nothing on there that interests me. I don't have any kids either. Not into their newer shows or movies. A few people in my family do have subscriptions with them though and seem to enjoy it. I currently only have Amazon Prime. I did have Hulu for a bit. All these subscription services keep hiking their prices and I am not a fan of that at all.
