As an aviator, that right there counts as an emergency landing. A hard one.
They limped it back home, they didn’t ditch a very sensitive airframe over enemy territory, I’d call that a win and the pilot deserves a medal for that.
Yeah. But mac is still and I mean BY FAR the cleanest of all operating system when you got to uninstall stuffs.
Windows is as bad as Linux, leftovers everywhere without any sense whatsoever. Some company use a directory, other use another, makes no sense.
On Linux, at least there is some kind of uniformity but since all apps install with sudo permissions, they get put everywhere and you never really know where.
On macos, you got 2 folders to look for, all in the user directory (app, application support) and that's it.
I was on Windows for 30 years. I advocated for it and even got a few CTOs to switch from MacOS to Windows because they saw Windows was actually more capable than Apple propaganda would have you believe.
I'm not really sure how you figure that my comment makes Linux hard to like.
I simply don't like the direction Microsoft is headed in, and haven't for some time. Many people don't like it. Microsoft recently may have had a realization as a company and they might change their current direction, but I still doubt I'll go back. They expected me to pay twice for software that I paid a "lifetime license" for, only because I upgraded the CPU in my computer. If you think that somehow makes Linux look bad, then I don't know man...
I run my email inside a virtual machine, so it was easy for me to switch over from Windows/Outlook to Linux/Thunderbird. I certainly don't expect everyone to switch.
Why send the Turnstile bytecode encrypted ? Surely people savvy enough to abuse the system will find out how to decrypt it, see OP, and it gives the impression that you are trying to hide stuffs you're not proud about.
Because they want to make it as hard as possible to reverse engineer. If they wanted it to be easy, they'd use <input type="checkbox" name="ishuman">I am a human
If I was American I wouldn't care so much about the stock pile but about the amount that was and is still being used everyday. 3.5M$ x 850 is a lot of wasted money when diplomacy is much less expensive.
Seeing the NASA ask for a permanent moon base at $20B while the pentagon is looking for $200B really puts it into perspective. You’re telling me it’s going to cost 10x as much to wage war on Iran as it is to build a moon base? Wtf are we doing.
NASA didn't go to moon for the love of science and because it was cool. They went there because Sputnik was an ICBM with a radio for a payload instead of a warhead.
Oh yes absolutely it will cost more than $20B. But that’s an order of magnitude difference. If NASA has price overruns by 9x it’s still cheaper. That’s why it’s so stark.
A stalemate with China. Not a stalemate with North Korea, who were pushed all the way back to the Chinese border, until the Chinese army joined the fight.
Even then, it only became a stalemate because US politicians were unwilling to risk further escalation (as in Vietnam).
What fantasy world are you living in? Until now, people around the globe had access to food, clothing, medicine, and energy because prior administrations at least had the decency not to provoke a full-scale war with a nation capable of cutting off critical natural resources to much of the world.
Because MAGA ideology sees prosperity only through the lens of triumphantly screwing over others, they can't recognize mutual benefit as a victory. This shortsightedness will cost countless lives in the years ahead.
Exactly, it just got to be fair for everyone. Can't make a woman with 'internal testicles and higher levels of testosterone compare against other women, that would be like accepting dopping.
If you divided the competitors into “has freakishly long arms” and “doesn’t have freakishly long arms” groups to compete within, and Phelps met the metrics for freakishly long arms, are you saying you think he should be free to compete in either group?
If so, there was no point in dividing into groups.
That said, I am sure athletes and governing bodies could agree on a better solution than outright banning- for example all it takes is a group that pairs a freakishly long armed swimmer with not, and they compete as pairs. Or an open group- maybe someone without freakishly long arms will find a way to win.
Anyway, it’s sports, people will min/max everything you let them, and we know from history they may bend or break rules as well. At the end of the day someone has to make a rule and enforce it, over time it will evolve.
Most testosterone values in PCOS will be ≤150 ng/dL (≤5.2 nmol/L).
Men, especially athlete, are around 30 nmol/l. At the very least 6 times over your weird case scenario.
I'm sorry but women don't have testicles so they can't naturally produce high levels of testosterone, you won't be able to twist stuffs enough and make scenario weird enough to prove that.
Oh, and Khelif chose to have a female phenotype so she could compete in the female category in the Olympics? Get real. There are many other women in the same situation.
> You will never find a woman that has the same testosterone levels that a man identifying as a woman
Uh, yes you will... The entire purpose of taking estrogen is to bring down testosterone to female-level.
No one cares at amateur levels but we are speaking of the Olympic. I'm all for transgender to do sport, have fun and even compete but Olympic games are about who is the best of the world.
If you chose to identify as another sex, you can accept to give up on competing at the highest of the highest level. It's not like a big sacrifice.
Isn't the solution simple? People have the freedom to think themselves to be whatever they are, but for established rules, they can either choose to comply or not participate.
Just because a person identifies them as x, doesn't automatically mean other people have to be forced to accept them the same way. Just have a separate section for trans people in high school, separate for biological women etc.
The whole point of women's sports is arbitrary, and just as much as people should respect the freedom of a person to identify themselves as whatever they want to, the same people should respect the arbitrary rules of women's sports.
The issue is the people who want the world to be forced to accommodate them without consent.
People said the same thing about racial integration.
As for a separate league for trans women... there are frequently like a couple dozen trans women athletes in an entire state. How exactly will that work for a separate league?
at the highest levels are the most rigorous standards and testing. this is where it makes the most sense to allow trans athletes to. compete. trans women who have been on hormone replacement do not have an advantage over cis women. this is discrimination plain and simple and creates an atmosphere of misunderstanding, mistrust, and misinformation towards trans people (which incidentally also affects non-gender-conforming cis women).
Except people clearly fucking do for some reason, and all that's going to happen is make life worse for women both cis and trans. Trans women will get excluded, and cis women who are "too good" or not fitting societal ideals of femininity will be accused of being trans. This is already happening to children.
> If you chose to identify as another sex
When did you choose to identify as the gender you were born with?

I think it's ok to say that it crashed into the ground but the pilot survived.
With 'emergency landing' people assume it was just a rough landing whereas the plane here is completely and utterly broken.
