I don't think the jouse will sit again. He'll go to the GG and ask for parliament to be dissolved. Why have the government fall when he wants to go to the polls anyways?

It's my opener. I'm not writing paragraphs to be to told it sold weeks ago

Enjoy your invasion!

We've been selling them stuff.  ¯(ツ)_/¯

Quick search with first coffee of the morning. I'm not sure the numbers are incorrect, but there are better sources for them.

Not different numbers, but the actual source for some of the numbers. https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2019/2019179/index.asp

I honestly don't know. I'm physically at the office 35 hours a week. But I'm a knowledge worker and the problems I deal with are always rattling around in my head. So I think about them while driving or at the gym. If there was a way to track that I suppose it might be 70+ hours.

The National Literacy Institute seems like not a great resource. It's mostly a consultancy selling programming I think. And their contact info is a Gmail address.

Chemists have moved away from cis and trans partly because of all of this. We use zusammen-together or entgegen-opposite now. I can attest to how politically charged a class about organic molecules can become.

I am not deeply versed on the socio-cultural side of it all, and there is clearly space to learn. I am reluctant to let cis hinge on a doctor's proclamation but I'll let it sit there for the moment.

Thanks Petah.

I also have a PhD. Not in genomics but in physiology. But we all do genetic work now.

The Dr. says that XX persons can become cis men. "CIS men" is explicitly about gender. I was trying to make the point (not very well as it turns out) that all of this hinges on definitions. So you have to unpack CIS men in this context. Without a sound understanding of the basics, all the rest is supposition.

And the gender identity and expression parts have nothing to do with gene expression, penetrance (giggity), DNA, RNA or epigenetic factors in gene expression.

Also the better example for the counter argument would probably be CAIS.

I can try. The cis part means the person's naughty bits are aligned with their gender identity. The male is their gender identity. So post-bottom surgery it's perfectly possible. If you use different definitions for concepts though you will have difficulty making it work.

None of this has anything to do with the claimed PhD in genomics though. These are socio-cultural concepts. So they should stick their PhD where it belongs and address the arguments head on instead of trying to argue from authority.

Awesome!

I don't entirely disagree with you. But the higher range is there to attract those hyper-qualified candidates. If you drop the bottom then candidates feel that you are offering them the bare minimum. There's kind of no winning here.

Is there a spelling mistake?

My last job had close to that range. There is a hiring range is typically 50-70% of the maximum. Below 50% is the developmental range for laddering underqualified internal hires. Over 70% is for very experienced, overqualified candidates. Generally employers won't go more than 85% of max because they need a couple years of cushion for salary increases. If they hire at max they know the candidate is going to be back on the market in a year.

When I was in school in the 1970s it was because they couldn't get French teachers from Quebec. The youth wanted to stay and build a sovereign Quebec. So they imported French teachers from France and I speak like a French Duke.

That's not a face son.

That's me! I've been looking for exactly something like this but don't have the knowledge to build from source.

He was a Buddhist who spent a good many years living in a monastery on Mt. Baldy. The Sopranos is exactly the kind of project he wouldn't be involved in.
