    I felt the same way, but I actually enjoyed Capaldi much sooner than Smith. It took an entire season before I warmed to Smith, but Capaldi had me interested in just a few episodes from the regeneration. And of course Tenant had me right away.

    Sorry Jeb, you don't get to claim you were being taken out of context based on the responses from the people. It was in no way clear that it was the context you claimed, and very generally was taken to mean the general populace. I will be very disappointed if this guy makes it past the primaries and gets a sizable amount of the popular vote.

    So I'm going to agree with the majority of what you've said, there are women I believe who are suitable candidates for combat MOSs. However the last part where you mention ...

    Accepting a man who has passed training but continuing to doubt a woman who has passed the same training is a problem.

    There were guys in all of the infantry units I was in that people would question how he passed OSUT training, and would have difficulty with the weekly unit training. Most would chalk it up to 'basic' getting 'softer', but it does happen. These people are able to slip through the cracks and are unfit for serving in a combat MOS or any type of military capacity. I mean look at the surging numbers of active military suicide, these are people with past histories of depression that somehow make it through the training that never should have been allowed to enlist. The majority of these service members have never even seen combat, so it'd be a tough sell to claim the issue of PTSD.

    What I'm saying is that doubting a soldier is fit for combat already happens to men in combat roles, and to single this out as a gender issue is a little farfetched.

    I'm pretty close to being in the same boat as you. Both my SO and I are physics PhDs and we'll eventually have to try to relocate to jobs that are somewhat close to each other. I am not looking forward to that mess haha.

    [1103.2271] Introduction to Early Universe Cosmology

    A good introduction to the development of the universe that approaches it through the leading theoretical hypotheses in cosmological research. Knowledge of some advanced maths, quantum/relativistic theory are required for some parts, but I feel the majority of the key points can be taken in at an undergrads level of knowledge.

    Yep, hopefully we can keep a supportive community that was similar to the one on Reddit. Preferably without all of the drama that came with the core site.
