Now we are being an A-Hole are we... what happened to 'transgender'? You username is very much an inaccurate misnomer. You are no more scientific than I am Taylor Swift.

About as accurate and detailed as Bohr's model of the atom. The Standard Model is now somewhat more complex..

Oh dear... time for me to get out the razor blade.

Ultimately, despite numerous failures historically, we have to continue to have faith, and support those who align, or seek to align, with our societal and geopolitical philosophies by whatever means necessary to achieve that... the victors write history. It's a Darwinian existential battle between radically-opposed geopolitical opponents.

Do you think the west would be supporting him with billions of dollars if he was that corrupt?

Where was the support for Yanokovych before the war started? Well, when this war's over, Zelensky can face his 'reckoning at the next election; history and the voters will judge him.

We wouldn't be allowed either. That's what happens in wars on your home territory.

NK is a dynastic autocracy. A crap comparison. The first paragraph of your link tells us everything: Who is Ukraine fighting now but the original source of said corruption?

Only when Yanokovych unilaterally reneged on aligning with Europe more. When one does shitty things like that, one exposes oneself to the possibility of a popular uprising. It wasn't a coup, he disappeared and left his post vacant. ' Good, strong leader... not. Why aren't the Ukrainians fighting to remove Zelenskiy if he's a coup leader, and not their by popular will?

There isn't anything I disagree with there. Quite the shifty Pinnochio, Musk is. In Reuters today it turns out Tesla were pulling the same dodgy stunt as Volkswagen with their fiddling, except Tesla lied about the true range their cars could go and systematically made things very difficult for buyers to deal with them about it. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/ The galling thing is they had a xylophone thing that call Tesla 'repair' operators used to celebrate with when they successfully fobbed someone off. I would call that kind of strategizing evil.

Repeating doesn't make so. The subject is not amenable to Twitter-length responses.

A glaring symptom of maintaining their autocratic aspirations is their persistent resistance to employment unionization.

They hark about "freedom", but only for people that follow their selfish ideology.

Like the study on testosterone levels after an event:

On top of the usual security, covering your bike when parked for a while, makes it harder to casually inspect for vulnerabilities without looking more suspicious.

OK. Sorry. Yes, you have to weigh it up whether it's worth it to you. When I get my scooter it will be one of those.

Angle grinders. As I've linked... isn't 17 minutes and several discs for a single cut long enough. Are you going to spend over half an getting a lock off when the bike on next door can come off in seconds. Security is about moving thieves on to easier pickings. As for gas cutters, get real.

What diameter hardened steel is that? AFAIK 16mm and over stops them

LiteLock X1 and Hiplock D100 are the strongest I've seen. You have to cut them twice to remove them.

There is a lock material that will resist multiple cutting discs:

If he can't, then, by his definition, he's a woman.

There isn't an all-encompassing objective definition. It's an arbitrary category that humans made up to suit their purposes. It all started with genitalia, then it has got more nuanced with increasing knowledge.

Sex testing hurts more females that are outliers than transgender females. This article is useful for reading the history of sex testing in sport. All it's done since the 40's is hurt female outliers. If one thinks this focus helps women... think again. All because of the biblical/historical assertion that humans are binary.

Once a drug has been developed and passed the 3 development phases, the only thing left is feedback from prescribers and patients as it is used. That's $2B plus. From there, the feedback processes guides the procedures and ongoing prescription advice. I don't know what more they can reasonably do. Your position is coming off like that of a hypochondriac. Stop reading the-side effects. They note every teensy-weensy thing to cover their ass. Just because a patient complains of an effect, doesn't mean it's attributable to the drug.... an apparent correlation is not causation all of the time. I don't why you are making such a bogeyman of cancer. Cells are little machines and sometimes they malfunction that way, even without a catalyst.
