That skill proved useful in his later career.

That's my opinion too.

Unfortunately, after a certain amount of actual progress we are now regressing again.

Yeah, we have a long history of not practicing what we preach.

Remember when the USA took pride in being a melting pot?

"Why? Why should sports be segregated by gender at all? Where's the science for that?"

No by gender, Yes by sex. We say women sport men sport because colloquially everybody until recently (a few decades ago) use women/men for male/female - but the reality is we split sport by sex which we use the colloquial gender name for, but make no mistake the separation is for sex (you can get into a lot of issues of somebody appearing one sex but having hormone insensitivity that does not change the reason for separation which is sexual dimorphism in human). There is a biological reality which is undeniable. Men have roughly 75% more to double the the upper body strength than women and about 25% more lower body strength than women. There are plenty of science article e.g. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fa... is an example of those. You can google "difference between men and women strength" and imit yourself to nih.gov and get plenty of hit. Some study are even from other countries e.g. google (out of memory) "proxy grip strength by age and sex" which is a study on grip stgrength as proxy of difference between male , female and age - where you can see non-sport women have about half the strength of non-sport men.

So unless your sport involve ZERO upper and lower body strength, it makes sense to separate sports by sex - note that I don't say gender again. In fact you can find more article on how men resist pain more than women. Another reason to separate sport. If you don't then you eliminate any chance any women to ever be in the top for sport.

And that advantage does not disappear fully with hormone therapy. Skeletal structure & muscle mass is influenced heavily by puberty, muscle mass does not disappear fully with hormone therapy either.

Don't announce you have the way to bypass it but can't publish. 1) dont tell anyone
2) make a patch executable which change the functrion in your app or allow to compile the app with restored function.
3) go through your code and "change" the coding style.
4) take your comments in code, then translate the comment in russian, then translate russian in chinese, then chinese back in english : this is your new comment
5) tkae your function names and translate in russian
6) go into a coffee with free wifi in a separate city, buy a burner, use vpn, tor it, connect to wifi, push the code to a torrent or somewhere where it will attract attention

Now the code is out in the wild, and people can use your app, and chance is nobody will ever be able to trace it back to you.

There is a fundamental difference between traveling a thousand kms, over the surface of a planet and expecting *soil* to be on the place where you land, and traveling among stars and finding useless non-life compatible rocks. A better analogy would have been those islander traveling... And finding zero soil on the new island.

If their government in China had their ass so far in their rectum to refuse global warming as factual, and promoted coal like Trump/GOP did, they would not be doing renewable like crazy.

The more important is not whether it is a democracy or a dictatorial regime, the more important factor was : they are not rejecting basic science.

If both side of the aisle accepted global warming and had the will to fight, you would see the same effort in the US. Unfortunately you have the GOP which is anti science. So instead you get a dead end.

Back in 2008, it was said that within a decades or two the storm surge would rise by a few inch , which would bring them further inland. This one example about how storm surge would be bigger : https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencedaily.com%2Fr... The problem is that people like him are a bit clueless , they misremember, misinterpret, and then their misinterpretation/misremembering becomes "a failed prediction about global warming". That is, when they are even educated enough to even understand any article about AGW.

You are correct. Shipping per ocean, depending on some factor takes 15 to 30 days. The full weight of the tariff will start 30 days from the announcement - so basically start of may to mid may shipping will again drop down hard.

government in terms of number of people employed has shrunk under pretty much every administration

If you did bother looking up FRED statistic you would have seen you are wrong : firstly , ignoring fluctuations, the number of federal employee grew pretty much under all administration from 1950 to 1990 and yes that include Reagan the trend is pretty damn clear. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffred.stlouisfed.org%2Fse...
Except a little bit at the start the number of federal employee grew under Reagan even right until the end. It dropped a bit only later under bush senior. In fact do you see when the number massively started to drop ? It was end of bush / and all Clinton's presidency.

Facit you and op are wrong. Reagan massively stocked up federal job, under Bush they dropped a bit, then under Clinton the number dropped massively. And it was NOT in any case a "drop" of number of employee after 1950.

The speed increase does not matter, what matters is the energy in case of a collision, especially with people on foot. A car at 40 kmh has about 75% more kinetic energy than one at 30 kmh (40*40/30*30=~1.77). Meaning if you hit another car or a person on foot, you dissipate into them for the collision or braking 75% more energy. What does that mean ? Counting emergency braking+reflex/thinking distance with zero visibility at 30 kmh it is around 20 meter, at 40 kmh this is 30 meter, you literally dwindle survival chance of anybody on foot.

It is an offense to pass by the red light line, once the light turn red. The issue is, dumb fucks see the orange light and see it as a reason to increase speed to pass thru before the red light. That's not how it should work. You are supposed to slow down (if feasible , e.g. you are still far away to not brake brutally) when it is orange and stop at the red light. In practice a huge percentage of people simply keep the same speed or even accelerate when they see the orange, to try to go through the crossroad before the red, and often fail, even when they are far away from the light.

That's how red light camera make money and that's why I am for them - fine the idiot until they learn to respect the lights.

Heck at my street there is a radar camera for speed above 35 kmh. And without fail, all the FUCKERS start going 40kmh and sometimes above after the speed check - we (inhabitant) have put a speed check there and car are nearly never at 30 kmh like they should. And THAT proves to me most car driver are asshole which view road rules as "optional", and I am for adding camera everywhere until they have no chance except respecting the damn road rules.

A car is not a right, it is a privilege given freely as long as one respect the rule.

That's why you will put the minimum federal wage at a living wage level, right ? right ? Nuff said.

You see "US is materially less trustworthy these days" , I beg to differ, see all that shit the US did in its history, Tuskegee experiment, trail of tears and massacre, internement of Japanese, come to WW2 only when attacked, shit with Irak and WMD, CIA impact on south-am, vietnam, and so forth.... I have never seen the US as more trustworthy than your random superpower seeing only its own interest (political and economical) - and nobody's else - they only aligned with ours by accident. And now you see the emperor with cloth, the one I already saw decades ago without cloth. Just sayin'.
