There are statistically around 15 women AFAB with XY chromosomes in the NCAA by those numbers (assuming no correlation between Swyer syndrome and athletic performance).

There are currently around 10 openly transgender women in the NCAA.

Small numbers either way.


The movie term derives from a different piece of slang, a WWII term for a large bomb that could destroy an entire block.

Before movies bombing was a bad thing, a successful movie was "exploding" like a blockbuster bomb.


So it's hard to imagine biological life (chemical life?) without water or carbon, since they're such good solvents and building blocks, but we can at least imagine electronic or mechanical life which don't require them.

But what you can't get away from is heat dissipation.

Any life will use energy will generate heat will need to dissipate heat to maintain homeostasis.

Could you dissipate enough heat to exist at <10K, to maintain a technological civilization? Or would you be reduced to supercooling your entire environment?

Are there naturally occurring pools of liquid helium out there in the universe, maintained by natural processes, or are you left with vacuum relying on radiative cooling?


Methane based life is considered a possibility.

Methane only gets you to 100K.

Depends, did you also fire the people who told you not to do it, and layoff the people who reluctantly installed the stove and preheated it for you as part of your exciting stove-touching initiative?

Maybe they saw the 30% cut Apple and Google were taking on their app stores and wanted in on the action?

In the 19th century, at the same time they went stone-mad (and redefined the hundredweight as 8 stone or 112lb), the British redefined the pint as 20 oz.

After this point, there was no where the whole world round where a pint was a pound.

(The US standardized on the wine gallon, so a US pint is and was 1.04 lbs.)


> Results: A 5-mph increase in the maximum state speed limit was associated with an 8.5% increase in fatality rates on interstates/freeways and a 2.8% increase on other roads. In total during the 25-year study period, there were an estimated 36,760 more traffic fatalities than would have been expected if maximum speed limits had not increased—13,638 on interstates/freeways and 23,122 on other roads.

I do not understand the point you are making here. I did not make an argument in favor of increasing the speed limit.

I believe I replied to the wrong person!

Pffft, like a bot couldn't fake metadata.

I kind of feel like the nature of the Python ecosystem is a dozen or so extremely useful frameworks/tools that everyone uses heavily for 3 years and then abandons and never speaks of again.

I'm not very deep in Python anymore, but every time I dip my toes back in it's a completely different set of tools, with some noticably rare exceptions (eg, numpy).


i think most of the previous package management tools have been like 70% solutions - for 70% of things, they're much better than previous tools, but then 30% of the problem goes unaddressed. For example, poetry does a good job at managing your package, but decided not to manage python versions. So, I still need some other bootstrap process involving a huge pile of bash.

uv feels like the first 100% coverage solution i've seen in the python space, and it also has great developer experience.

I can't speak to the rest of the ecosystem, when I write python it's extremely boring and I'm still using Flask same as i was in 2016.


I cant see how the ecosystem evolves being a bad thing?

It's not actually an oversight or training failure; as one of the six societies which secretly rule the world, the Juggalos simply demand to be exempt from facial recognition.

Juggalos, bronies, 9th doctor fans, billionaires, royals (baseball team), and royals (landed nobility)?

In _Inside Job_, it was Juggalos, the Illuminati, the Catholic Church, Cognito Inc [the main feature of the show, kind of the Deep State], the Atlanteans, and the Reptoids.

It really is past time for another expansion set for Illuminati.
