This sounds like how you get a resonance cascade... Experiments so powerful they make the sky glow as only our star can!

I enjoyed the back and forth over the topic, personally, but that initial video of his felt... weak. I didn't hate it but it did make me want to unsubscribe. It felt like a technicality and like a trick more than anything, to me.

The practicalities of how two nearby parallel wires work versus one big loop wasn't the question posed, it was based on length (As I remember from watching it once). Felt like a 'gotcha' moment with no gotcha.

Who'd have thought that a work force with a large immigrant population would diminish when we kick all the immigrants out 🙃 we'll still have medical staff, despite a large portion of them being from Eurasia, we'll still have people willing to do the jobs we don't want to because the UK is British and strong now, right? Right guys? We can have blue passports back... And.. we'll make our own trade deals! With America, and Australia! We're still important, aren't we?

I hate this country I live in, sometimes. Our politicians and older generations don't seem to realise the last 200 years of history have happened.

Ah, a common mistake to make. It's not 're-ddit,' Im pretty sure it comes from 'reddi-t' as in "Ready Tea" but like many early 2000s websites they tried to make it sound more approachable, so it's just 'reddi-t' as your cup of tea will be cool enough to drink by the time it's transmitted all your data.

I recently left a job at 1 year in and while I was asked about it the ol' "Overworked and underappreciated" response worked well.

I started looking for new jobs about 10 months in and felt I could be really picky about my destination because I was already secure. Having a job gives you a much better position to negotiate from, even if it's only in your own head. I also found my former job much more bearable while also doing interviews elsewhere- it's a lot easier to laugh about colleage troubles or 25 year old technical debt when they won't be your problems soon.

Oh no :( Now the game is even more emotionally charged, I suppose.

One I've not seen mentioned but made me bawl my eyes out is 'Presentable Liberty' Im not sure about the remake, but the original was pretty short and was gripping, despite the low level of action.

From experience, female clothes aren't proportioned to fit trans women as well as cis women. While in your other comment you make a good point about some cis women also being outside the 'conventional' physical expectations for women in western society, that doesn't also mean that trans people don't face the same issues. We talk about these problems from a trans perspective because trans people are often targeted with legislation and rules from people who don't understand, and are blocked from being treated as their preferred gender. A bulky cis woman might share physical characteristics with a trans woman, but their existence is also significantly less opposed.

Edit: to my first point there are a number of biological size/proportion differences between cis men and cis women that can be seen here: https://ehs.oregonstate.edu/sites/ehs.oregonstate.edu/files/pdf/ergo/ergonomicsanddesignreferenceguidewhitepaper.pdf

I'm trans and I actually agree with you. I don't know the solution to make things fair, but I wouldn't want to use a strong biological advantage over someone else.

I see it like if I'd been born with some identifiable and categorised physical advantage then I shouldn't be competing against people without that advantage.

It's debatable how big the difference is, however, and whether it's a gap easily closed or not. My thoughts are that there could be an open category where anyone could compete on the understanding that there may be severe biological differences. There's no easy solution :(

Edit: thinking about it, sporting competitions are more sex-catagorised than gender-categorised. I don't think someone identifying as female with no physical/medical alterations from a biological male form should compete with biological females and I don't think that should be controversial since the gender isn't what people care about there. It's the physical characteristics. In some sports that might provide an advantage, in some a disadvantage, but I do this it's important to discuss! At that point, however, you'd be better ignoring gender and sex entirely and only categorising sports like 'feather weight' or 'strong muscular development' or something

Just noticed this, fair play to you! Sorry for the misunderstanding :)

Hi, different person here, genuine question as I've never seen someone who believes that before: can I ask, do you think the temperature rise from entering this interglacial period is correlated with the temperature increases we're seeing at the moment?

It's a fact the temperature is going up now, but if you're suggesting that it's because we're exiting another ice age, even a 'micro' one, what level of temperature increase would you expect to see, roughly? (Doesn't have to be a number, just some idea would be nice) Less than when we 'left' the not-micro iceage?
