I love the ambiguity of our names here, I can't tell if you're male or female sometimes, and interestingly, I find it doesn't matter...

@altamaha just called @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine a doll, here all this time, I thought Klaatu was a dude

On COSO, dudes and dudettes are interchangeable...

@Madken65 @altamaha lol

@altamaha @Madken65 If it makes you feel better my father named me an ambiguous name because he felt a girl's name would cause me to be discriminated against. After he died people who I had been dealing with in business for years were surprised to find out I am a chick. I dont get whiskey and cigars for Christmas anymore. Frankly I'm sad about that.

@Madken65 @altamaha Don't encourage me I will start ranting about the state of engineering. Make your babies be engineers!!! Send them to camp! Apply for scholarships! https://www.mtu.edu/syp/discover/competitive-scholarships/index.html

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @altamaha where did I miss the engineering leap?

@Madken65 @altamaha So it's entirely possible I pick the name and a robot not entirely consciously but so I can be taken seriously? Does that make sense? I am appalled that there are less women in engineering today than when i graduated also.

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @altamaha @Madken65
Semi conscious robot?
I probably would have picked "Bender"
