Felicia Hemans's poem He Never Smiled Again is an ode to Henry I's reaction to his son and only male heir perishing in the tragedy, that later plunged England into a tumultuous period known as "The Anarchy"

It'd have to be adept at spotting it in all its forms first in order to hide it, which seems expensive for a free viewer

Or takes Cordwainer Smith novella's far too literally

insane minxes

Another one just came to me, as I witnessed it yesterday on the train. A homeless man was walking down the train aisle, shaking a handful of coins and asking people for change in a long drawn out plead.

Everyone stared deeper into their phones until he went away, but when he came back a woman with a child handed him some change and he walked on without thanking her.

The kid asked "why did you give him money mummy?" and her response was simply "you see homeless, you give money" and that was the end of it. I just liked the implicit matter-of-fact decency in which she lived her life.

probably easier in bash:

    number="$1"
    if [[ "$number" =~ "^(2|4|6|8|10|12|14|16|18|20)$" ]]; then
        echo even
    elif [[ "$number" =~ "^(1|3|5|7|9|11|13|15|17|19)$" ]]; then
        echo odd
    else
        echo Nan
    fi

A bit limited, but you can scale it up

Scaled up:

  case "$1" in
    *0|*2|*4|*6|*8) echo even;;
    *) echo odd;;
  esac

If $1 had a trailing non-digit, or was empty, that would indeed be an odd situation!

Yep, I remember there being a magnet hack placed on the kickstand so that it would be detected properly

Kinda a similar story, I slipped off my bike at the end of a wet turn and scraped up my leg.

A woman passing by saw the whole thing, and said she lived nearby and would happily run me a bath.

I took her up on the offer, and, um, I was a few hours late to work that day :-)

Are you Val Kilmer? :)

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

Wow, "Dear Penthouse,"

Surely D3 is what you're referring to

Emmy Noether is a good one

> In April 1933, Noether received a notice from the Prussian Ministry for Sciences, Art, and Public Education which read: “On the basis of paragraph 3 of the Civil Service Code of 7 April 1933, I hereby withdraw from you the right to teach at the University of Göttingen.”

> Noether accepted the decision calmly, providing support for others during this difficult time. Hermann Weyl later wrote that “Emmy Noether – her courage, her frankness, her unconcern about her own fate, her conciliatory spirit – was in the midst of all the hatred and meanness, despair and sorrow surrounding us, a moral solace.”

> Typically, Noether remained focused on mathematics, gathering students in her apartment to discuss class field theory. When one of her students appeared in the uniform of the Nazi paramilitary organization Sturmabteilung (SA), she showed no sign of agitation and, reportedly, even laughed about it later.

She is not an example, she was hardly written out of science history, there were theorems named after her etc. That some people discriminated against her doesn't mean she is an example of the Matilda effect.

She had also two things working against her at the time: her gender and a Jewish family background.

I forget her name, but there was a Soviet psychiatrist who pioneered research into autistic children before Hans Asperger. She was female, Jewish and from the USSR, and I think barely acknowledged even within the Iron Curtain countries. Someone here may remember her.
