What does this game require? That you have a modicum of short term memory? There's little dexterity involved.

Great lip dexterity!

His feet are more nimble and dexterous than my hands!

Now it needs a robotic platform dexterous enough to reproduce the movements.

So conflicted!

A) She got a better sound and musical performance out of that theremin than anything else I've ever heard on one. Awesome!

B) With that kind of dexterity and musical skill, think how great she could be at playing literally any other instrument. You know -- a "real" instrument that isn't just a semi-pointless exercise in being as weird / avant-garde as possible...


...Still, my bias against theremin aside, that was great. Nice sift!

I took fencing in college, and had some preconceived ideas about men probably being better at it on average due to higher strength on average.

At least for foil fencing, that turned out to be quite wrong. With foils, strength is far less important than dexterity and footwork skill, which in my class the girls tended to be noticeably better at.

...However, aggressiveness / competitiveness / "killer instinct" was in many ways more important than either strength OR dexterity, and the males tended to exhibit those qualities far more than the females in my class. So even though the women were more technically proficient, the men tended to win matches at a much higher rate.

I found that interesting. Can't say that my experiences would speak to any sort of universal trend, but it was the clear trend in my beginner's level course.

Kind of gimmicky.

As long as you're trainable and not a total klutz, you can develop the hands skills you need throughout residency. It also depends on what kind of surgery you're doing. A general surgeon for example doesn't quite need the same level of fine motor dexterity as an ophthalmologist.

What's FAR more important to a residency program is someone who is hard working, reliable, dedicated, and a team player who can get along with others.

'Surprise, Motherfucker'

If you quote Dexter, I'm sold.

Well the dog is clever but also that design is ridiculously stupid.

If you want to animal proof something (except apes and monkeys), just make it require two simultaneously actions? Even if they had the brains, most animals don't have the limbs or dexterity to handle that.

Hi. I'm a social justice warrior. Well, I prefer social justice rogue, cos you know, dexterity is sexier than strength.

Anywaaaaaay. I think I whine less than all you mofos in the comments whining about all the whiners

The "snap" clapping did make me snort out a bit of my drink though. Fair play.

Digging through the YouTube comments followed by a little further searching, yeah, apparently the basic idea is he's sorting the cards face-up/face down underneath as he fans them out near the end. A description which probably doesn't do justice to the amount of dexterity & concentration required while also keeping up the patter.

Inevitably you can also buy the technique video from the guy's website: http://kostyakimlat.com/roadrunner-cull.html

Dexter + Fight Club + Silicon Valley?

Well, even if you did say they were toxic I'd have agreed with you, like others here have said any reasonable comments made would have been buried under a metric fuckton of bullshit anyhow.

I think there is a misunderstanding here however, when GenjiKilpatrick and others are talking about Sarkeesian "being called on her shit" they mean the reasoned criticism, not the threats, nobody here is arguing in favor of that.
I am curious though, unless you know something about these threats that I don't, how do you know that they are in fact "Serious"? Most people can dream up all kinds of crazy shit or even talk about it, but that still doesn't put you into Dexter Morgan territory (Dexter would be too polite to say anything like that anyhow, and Sarkeesian doesn't fit Harry's Code).
If you are referring to the UCU lecture that she cancelled, then no, neither campus security nor the FBI advised her against going through with the appearance, she made that choice on her own.

You also say "It's unseemly to imply a single woman should ignore such threats or assume they are not credible", which makes me wonder if this was a man we were talking about would you still feel the same way? Adam Orth received death threats to both himself and his family and while it did create a lot of discussion, even heated discussion, it did not generate the same kind of mass outrage that this has so far. Gabe Newell also got a threat from a developer some time back and that got barely a peep out of anyone.
Simply put, we still live in a society that puts on a good public show of equality for men and women, but privately we still teach our little boys that men are still the true protectors of our society. We don't get as upset when men face danger because that is what we expect of them, and this kind of deeply embedded cultural belief is the real heart of sexism in our society. This debate over the role of women in video games is all superficial because I believe it comes from those much older beliefs.

So, lets see.. It's been a while since I posted this, but lets try and peg all of cartoons from my childhood.
