Phi for All

This must be the logic JCM mentioned.

Reading back over the arguments, I didn't miss them. It wasn't my arguments I was going by (I'm not a sports fan at all anymore, haven't been for a long time), but rather better arguments offered by participants other than you or beecee. Like setting standards for the industry that involve actual sporting capabilities like strength, endurance, agility and other performance factors, and establishing categories of competition that reflect those standards. So that a person of any gender and age can compete in the categories they qualify for. I didn't see logic anywherre else.

Seriously, after 36 pages, we still have people who think things like gender or age are important to sports? I thought we'd at least established that rankings should rely on all sorts of other factors, and that age and gender become meaningless if you've actually bothered to test for sporting capability. Are we going backwards on this, or did I skip some pages that argue we can't possibly test men and women/young and old for the same factors?

Spice/spicy isn't any kind of heat. It's not a taste either, which registers through facial, vagus, and glossopharyngeal nerves. Spicy foods irritate nociceptors in the tongue and mouth which register in the brain through the trigeminal nerve. Real heat from hot food is sensed as thermal pain, but spicy foods are chemical pain, and because the trigeminal nerve monitors temperature as well, the chemical pain also feels like thermal pain. AFAIK, which isn't much, the tests for capsaicin provide a scale to measure its strength, but you mention "ways to detect capsaicin presence". Are you looking to devise a quick test to show whether capsaicin is present or not, perhaps for those who are hypersensitive?

Everyone can "handle" the truth, if they're allowed to hear it. What they do with it afterwards is a test of character for individuals, and ultimately the countries they live in. If the Russians can rid themselves of their greedy leaders, it should inspire the rest of us.

There goes another irony meter. Don't you know things are getting too expensive to be replacing them so often?

In tattoo symbology, triangles point up for males, down for females. Triangles are also a Christian symbol representing the Trinity. The explanation involving these triangles and circles and pi doesn't make much sense, but I'm not a mathemetician. Even so, it seems like a dubious connection to draw. And what's the point of etching it on a metal tag? Is it to be worn on a chain? Nailed to something? What would a mathemetician do with this?

I disagree. I think it's definitely something our modern society has developed, and it seems more psychological than physiological at times. Look at your own phrasing, girls are just "good at some things" but "boys are better at others". There is a toxic competition at work here, much more ego than id.

I would hope not. Men and women both control horses as jockeys by staying in a perfectly balanced position to reduce drag and improve stride. They aren't trying to hurry the horse around the track by the reins, or beat it with a heavy club that requires ogre strength. You urge the horse on by constricting and relaxing your legs to impart some vertical force, but again, it's more about stamina than physical strength.

It does happen, and more often with men (for obvious reasons), but there's no doubt you need a fair amount of strength to hold onto a running horse. If anyone doesn't believe that, try riding a motorcycle on motocross trails for twenty minutes and you'll feel like you carried the bike part of the way. The horse/vehicle may be working harder, but it's not easy staying on.

This is why bars hire bouncers. They're not necessary until people start drinking.

This is a really messed up sport, imo. Women typically are underrated because it's known that at the same weight they have more body fat than men, but then the men have all kinds of health problems trying to "make weight". The strength needed for riding is only what you need to NOT fall off, so women actually do better because of superior stamina and pain tolerance. Women as jockeys generally don't get access to the best horses, even though physiologically they're on a par with their male counterparts. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/2378023117712599

One of "they" had this clarification.

Oh please. The foodservice giant they use for catering at the US House is uber-greedy, they used to be a client of mine. Sodexho took over the contract in 2015 and like all big corporations, they need steady growth, and offering booze to their clients is an easy way to assure that. This isn't because of liberal politics or even alcohol, this is because we've allowed too much privately owned enterprise in our public intstitutions.

If Arnold Schwarzenegger is Frankenstein's monster, can Russel Brand play Jesus AND Muhammed?

How does video promote discussion? It's a one way medium. It promotes monologues. I think the micro/macro argument is a bad one, and allows creationism to get a toehold in the ignorant mind. It's all evolution, the result of several factors and lots of time. Remember that we're talking about creationists here, so why bother with evidence they'll ignore? Also, you should make the distinction between evolution and the theory that describes it. Evolution is a fact, we see it in each generation of every species. What you're supporting with evidence is the theory of evolution, one of the strongest explanations we have for what's been observed in nature. I don't watch videos because I can't interact with them, they take forever compared to reading, and I feel like the people who make them are only interested in improving their YouTube channel views rather than actually discussing science.

Compatibility is a big issue, but don't forget that Russia still has an industrial complex to maintain. Boilers, industrial engines, assembly lines, bulldozers, ventilation equipment and much, much more rely on these chips that are now very difficult to get. It seems clear that dishwashers and refrigerators are being sacrificed for the war effort. But this too is a red herring. We should start talking about war crimes and their punishment.

Very impressive work! Lots of new data to analyze. I wouldn't think it's very likely that, if our SMBH has a "jet" like M87, that it's pointing right at us so we can't see it, but it's certainly possible. Quite a coincidence, though.

Based on the historical precedent Putin established with Klimovo last month, this sounds like Russia has once again targeted their own people and are blaming it on Ukraine. Most people around the world think that's pretty sick.

It's amazing that we can be 4 pages into a discussion where everyone is telling you the same things, that your reasoning is flawed and circular, and they quote the relevant examples, and what YOU take away from this is that "they objected but couldn't quite pinpoint why they objected". Since you don't understand reason very well, it's invisible to you, apparently.

Hopefully when the elderly die off, the young will choose better, smarter, less lethal social necessities for their future.

I'm sorry you caught this, and that most of our governments failed to take it seriously enough quickly enough. If you've read the studies presented in the thread, do you mind sharing some non-sensitive profile info and a perspective on your experience?

Actually, reading further on the subject, this provision wouldn't entail impeachment, so wouldn't go through Congress at all. "Good behavior" by officials at the time this was written included NOT abusing your office, so the matter could be taken up by DOJ and the courts. There are lots of precedents, including an act of Congress from 1790 that details what can be done to a corrupt judge: https://www.loc.gov/resource/rbpe.2130140a/?sp=4

Just enough to fill the privatized prisons and maximize those profits!

The lifetime appointment for SCOTUS hinges on good behavior (Article III, Section 1, US Constitution): Another vague wording, but I'd say several of the current judges are guilty of straying from "good behavior", such as working with insurrectionists, and could be removed from office by Congress.
