Someone sway my feelings... On one hand I'm happy about inclusion but on the other I'm worried non trans women aren't getting a fair shake.

Edit: or just down vote. I'm genuinely torn and hoping someone can provide some insight

Edit 2: After some snarky comments I decided to go digging... here's what I found initially. Feel free to post your own studies/links.

*"For the first two years after starting hormones, the trans women in their review were able to do 10 percent more pushups and 6 percent more situps than their cisgender female counterparts. After two years, Roberts told NBC News, “they were fairly equivalent to the cisgender women.”

Their running times declined as well, but two years on, trans women were still 12 percent faster on the 1.5 mile-run than their cisgender peers."*

Testosterone drives anatomical and physiological sex differences in the human body (Figure 1). These sex differences can be architectural and therefore permanent, or can be influenced by adult-level, circulating testosterone concentrations, and therefore modifiable. Permanent sex differences that affect athletic performance involve the (i) brain, (ii) skeletal structure, and (iii) cardiorespiratory system. Modifiable sex differences include testosterone effects on (i) muscle mass and strength and (ii) aerobic capacity. 2022 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9331831/

"Here, we report that current evidence shows the biological advantage, most notably in terms of muscle mass and strength, conferred by male puberty and thus enjoyed by most transgender women is only minimally reduced when testosterone is suppressed as per current sporting guidelines for transgender athletes." 2022 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7846503/

"A study of transgender women found their race times slowed after transitioning, but their age grades, which compare people to the best runners of the same sex and age, hardly changed, suggesting they have no advantage over non-transgender women." 2018 https://www.science.org/content/article/scientist-racing-discover-how-gender-transitions-alter-athletic-performance-including

It looks like I can create a custom command but can't figure out what that would be. I'm Linux terminal illiterate for the most part.

Yeah I can read them fine but for work I need to be able to mark them up and modify them. It has to be powerful with Mark up tools and most importantly I need to be able to dimension things to scale.

It's not in there. I assume because it's a Windows app I'm running in wine?

If it's a simple otc med, maybe just grab a small bottle once you get to destination.

I second this. I am bad at breaking my habits or starting new ones so I just started going every weekday starting around the beginning of this year. I also started eating healthier. I feel freaking great. Lost 25lb, way more energy, joints don't hurt as much... A lot of the "well, getting old sucks" things just went away after a while. Now that I've started the habit I have trouble not going to the gym.

It took me way to long to figure out what the censored word was.

I don't enjoy supporting the artist even if the art is good and don't buy into this argument. If you support the art, the artist is still making money off of it. Unless they are dead I guess....

Damnit. This always sucks to hear but it sucks even more when it's someone who's work is (was) enjoyable.

Camera on the back of the seat? I haven't seen that one yet, will have to bring tape on my next flight

My understanding was these guys would still most likely be there for the rest of their lives with or without this deal.

Because no one wants a console with ads, has no gyro aiming, strange support for older Xbox/games.

To add to this.. a lot of police confirmation videos I see someone MAYBE acting strange or MAYBE doing something that a cop could find threatening. This one I saw absolutely no danger or strange behavior. The lady was just talking to them like any of us would talk to each other. It's disgusting.

I'm with you. Bricscad was the best cad I found and it genuinely wasn't a great experience. Very laggy but it has all the professional tools and workflow I'm used to.

For audiobooks, Libby is free with a library card. Sometimes you need to wait for a book but its worth the wait.

I'm not saying anyone should work without pay. I'm saying that with the way publishers release games I expect AAA releases to be unfinished works at this point.

It depends on the game. If I buy a game from a smaller publisher I expect it to be a complete work with full story line. Unfortunately... When I buy from a large publisher I expect to be getting a ¾ complete game that will give me expansion packs.

This isn't the case with Nintendo games though. I feel like and Nintendo game is just done and any extras are... Extra.

The bidet is under development. It is going to have cameras to confirm cleanliness using ai.

It's like Ruth bader Ginsberg all over again
