Weird question, why are there gendered sports divisions, can’t it all be like light weight, medium weight…
Just make the sports as inclusive as possible. Maybe if there is really a statistically significant advantage the different divisions might be gendered but it has to be proven that it is excluding people.
Oh that is oligarchy Comrade
Wait isn’t it that they changed from three unlocks a year to only one device per Mi account a year. As far as I know you can still unlock one single device a year
This is going to be controversial but there were slight benefits that have been gained by Russia by this war, they basically identified all the areas in the military that were corrupt and lazy, remember in the beginning how unprepared the Russian forces were, they have basically fully transitioned into full war manufacturing, they now have the most experience fighting force in the latest modern war next to Ukraine. They also have basically almost empty prisons, almost every poor desperate persons would have taken the huge pay day and maybe also ended up dead, so a lot of societal “undesirables” were eliminated. Also basically any opponents of Putin could be eliminated by basically blaming Ukraine or blaming the individual for being a secret Ukrainian supporter or against the state
Agreed, for Ukraine it is not a pointless war, it is a war for survival and self, but in my opinion for the average russian it was a pointless war to stroke a colonialist dictators ego. Ukraine never posed a threat and if NATO expansion next to the Russian border was Putin’s motive that backfired with Finland joining NATO.
No this was a pointless war for Russia to have started.
I still think we will hit 1 million before the war ends. God it’s so sad that this is how I slightly keep up with the war, slight number increases, dehumanizing even occupiers into digits. What an awful thing this pointless war
It’s a brilliant move. Black will lose no matter what
Is it also not true with Shrek I think
Like what amazing technology did France apply, since I know they don’t have geothermal power. Like what can produce energy with such low emissions. Why is the world not simulating this
Who the fuck used Moses’s stick, Millei let moses’ people go
I wonder what will come first, 1 000 000 or a seize fire
I unfortunately think a little less pessimistic, I think he knows he cannot lose or withdraw, that will be his death warrant most likely. But if he keeps even the 2014 gains but this time officially recognised by both Russia and the west, even if Ukraine objects, he has won, even losing half that territory or even gaining 1 square meter extra does not matter, his Kremlin can spin it as a win. Might even embolden him to look at other countries, Georgia don’t you fucking dare change the status quo.
Ask me, as someone who has personally experienced the communist propaganda machine, Putin will be fine, just the common folk who would pay the price for his vanity
I feel like I only now comment if another 100,000 mark has been reached. I wonder after a million would I comment only every 500,000?
It is insane how many lives have been horrifically altered by this useless war, how many more must die because of an old scared man wanting to have a legacy of being a conquerer
The one kid smashed a kid’s face into a toilet till it broke, toilet and kid’s face, and news crew came filming where we found out almost all our classes are made out of asbestos, late 2000s
So disappointed that no meteorologist said: “a meteor probably”.
I do not really use journals for my daily work. But usually I have a quarterly project I tackle and then search if someone in the industry has researched the issue or something similar. So you usually get to read the abstract or executive summary and then have the option to get access.
My employer/company usually after I send motivational letter does pay. I also have a reoccurring yearly subscription to two professional bodies and their journals, even the one I specialise makes their research available for free and the other one usually has a month or so delay before it is free and available, usually to edit it and make it look nice.
But professional organisations and journals also need to be funded, and like my industry (mining) really invests in them because the knowledge from them benefits them. The journals do not fully guarantee quality papers, sometimes a malicious actor slips through and is usually redacted, but usually journals live on their brand of producing quality papers that can be used by the industry to improve it overall. And for this they do need a bit of resources.
But I also sympathize with OP because certain journals can make their barrier to entry prohibitive. If Nature Journal in this instance chooses to become a for profit entity I can see how this might stifle future progress especially for smaller players in the industry where cost margins are extremely tight and basically gives unfettered access to the giants to gain an edge.
It’s worse than that, everything oil is set up like a domino mexican standoff. If the oil terminal from Iran gets destroyed, basically they destroy the other’s oil infrastructure that is very vulnerable, and basically then there is not nearly enough oil globally and then the gears running the world infrastructure starts breaking down. Will be a climate activist’s wet dream since up to 20% of global oil stops trading
Joke had its up an down
Is it going to be like a year and a half until Russia surpasses 1 million soldier losses.
I think these numbers have made us numb, like politicians seeing these people only as numbers.
Each person had a life, a story, ambition, failures… Now just worm food and a single digit increase to this astronomical tally.
Fuck this war. Fuck Putin and his vanity. Good luck Ukraine
I think the article is so close to a real solution, it states how close female competitors performance is to males performance, like archery, sailing or other sports like chess, so why not remove the male female categories and make it open and as inclusive for everyone.
In sports where there is a clear advantage that a characteristic can bring, and scientifically proven, like sex or testosterone level or weight for example, have the protected categories undergo testing, for example if I want to be a male in the under 60kg class in boxing for example, I have to go in and they measure my weight (even if I may be embarrassed about my weight for example). If you do not pass the test you do not qualify for the protected category and go to the open category.
So the protected categories will have to be first be able to defend its protected status by showing certain characteristics can be detrimental to participation of everyone, for example 60kg boxer won’t be able to compete against a 120kg boxer, or a 60kg female boxer against a 60kg male boxer won’t be able to compete, proven scientifically, thus the requirements for the protected categories and their testing included. Heck even make protected trans/inter sex category if the other two do not provide meaningful participation, maybe fold in the special Olympics into the Olympics and have less abled categories, so that they can also be included into the Olympics and not excluded in their own different event.
