Ask a midwife. You’d be surprised.

Well, aside from the fact trans women are more likely to be victims. But is it the case misogyny should mean people can’t be trans? It’s interesting that people seldom question women transitioning to being men. It’s as though, from a sexist’s perspective, one could respect the upwards mobility it brings.

Generally, people just want to exist in peace. Problem is, there are folks who don’t get that, and so see them as an easy target for violence or aggression in various forms. Being a trans person, for example, makes you statistically more likely to be on the receiving end of violence. And the odds of it being punished are lower. So, what do you do? Do you just accept that people won’t let you be? Or do you try and campaign to have the same rights as everyone else?

Ask a midwife.

It isn’t science if you cherry pick it.

Quite a few do. It's 'easier' to be, or at least, appear to be heterosexual. Some can't handle that and kill themselves. Others are executed when it transpires they are in fact gay. Some only find they can come out late in life, having suffered through miserable marriages, or celibacy.

What if you're born with both? Or neither? Your chromosomes might also be a smidge mangled too. Some syndromes mean you have not XX or XY, but, XXY.

Which science does it defy? The science around brain structure? Or the messiness that is biology? The brain is a wonderful and complicated thing. It really doesn't take much to influence it. Milligrams of the right chemicals will give you the best weekend. A few milligrams more? It'll be the worst, and maybe your last. Now, imagine what would happen if, say, a mother's antibodies were interfering with that process, when the brain was still trying to form.

You don't generally get your head kicked in for just trying to exist if you're someone a bit muddled by trans people.

They've bought two really big powerline adapters for either end.

I'd read that fire suppression had gone off and they had to disembark all the passengers. At least the fire suppression works. Getting a bit overexcited happens to the best of us.

Instructions unclear, does anyone know what to tell them at A&E if you fell on the carrot? Asking for a friend..

Ah, but is it when you want?

Target figured out a man's daughter was pregnant before he did. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-target-figured-out-a-teen-girl-was-pregnant-before-her-father-did/ The bit that's arguably quite scary about it, is not the fact that you buy a meal deal on a Tuesday. It's that that, and a million other little snippets about you, are collated, sold and swapped, simply to sell you things better or make you keep scrolling. Knowing every little detail that makes you tick is the commodity.

Apparently, it's more expensive on mobile, as they add in the app store cut.

The article is disingenuous. It’s using the pricing of the super duper fast chargers at peak times. The EV would win out if you were comparing to motorway service station fuel prices. The highest fuel price in the UK for diesel in the past week was 198p. Likely at motorway services. Diesel cars are more expensive than the super duper chargers if you pay those prices.

On paper, it makes sense. Meta make their money by profiling you. On big sites, if it’s free, you’re the product. You don’t run data centres on goodwill. If you don’t want them to do that, but do want to use the service, then you can pay the 9 quid a month.

That was/is part of the design. The idea behind them is little and often. The engine runs with an Atkinson cycle, and the electric motor negates the disadvantages of that. The battery just siphons off electricity when it's most efficient. Charging the battery to do longer distances just burns fuel, and you have burn fuel to lug that bigger battery around. It's fascinating once you start reading up on it, essentially, the engine, when it runs, always aims to be in a sweet spot for efficiency, and the battery and motors work to keep it there. As a result, you get diesel-like mpg out of a petrol, which the Americans who don't like diesel cars, loved.

Petrol and a match is pretty impressive too. Any fire on a ship is bad. As a result, the fire pumps can pour a lot of water quickly onto the car deck, for the very reason that fires are such a problem. The technique for dealing with an EV fire boils down to pouring lots of water on it. Fortunately, you're surrounded by the stuff, and the car deck is designed for throwing the wet stuff on the hot stuff in large volumes.

Pilots are exactly the ones you want to be steering an 80 million bit of kit into port. It may be that they're training another captain for the exemption. Renewal for exemptions is due at the end of the year isn't it? I absolutely love the new boat, travelling on it is far nicer than the Ben. The whole thing feels in a different league to the Ben.

Well, yes. With science and peer review. A proper scientist, when presented with suitable evidence, will analyse that, potentially experiment and change their position based on their findings. But, they won't go and dig out snippets that are convenient.

He's a salesman, his background, per his LinkedIn is in marketing. A good salesman can talk for England. However, If you actually read any of his self-published writings, you'll find the gaping holes. A teacher would have a field day with a red pen. For example, he cites Kary Mullis as some smoking gun, to defend his argument that viruses don't exist.Kary Mullis helped invent PCR, which is used to study viruses. Dr Mullis also didn't believe in climate change, and denied HIV caused AIDS in later life, the latter is something Mr Heading likes to cite. But, for that to be true, the virus must exist. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_disease for more fun examples of Nobel Prize winners, and some of the psychology behind it.

Better than taking up their time, an ambulance’s time and fire brigade’s time if it goes wrong. She realised she was in a situation beyond her ability, stopped and tried to seek assistance, which is something a lot of people wouldn’t do. Some would just crack on without considering the consequences. By the sounds of it, she would’ve called her parents, but had no signal to do so.

You can get one for taking yourself out of the gene pool too.
