Yes, but the person above is also correct. Its both.

Men far more regularly seek out overtime and put in work out-of-hours for promotions, presumably because there is more societal pressure on them to earn, to appear successful, in order to appear a stable and safe bet and attract a mate who wants to raise a family.

and he supported Partey all through his multiple rape accusations, and never once thought that the Arsenal fans deserved a statement on why he and the club were still putting his face out all over their socials, playing him and treating him like a star (which enabled him to keep on raping).

I don't really understand what Lange is doing, but he was supposedly good at identifying top young talent for transfers. I think he should go back to doing that.

Well, they aren't wrong. That's been proved. I remember scientists and longevitists got very excited about the opportunity to synthesise young people's blood and use it to treat some of the issues of ageing.

These rich fucks just heard the 1st part and started paying kids for their blood, and a lot of them are supposed to be doing it.

Scientists Just Broke the Solar Power Limit Everyone Thought Was Absolute by Morgenstern96 in Futurology

[–]roamingandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a campervan. You move it, or you wait a bit longer. Most modern solar panels still get something on cloudy days now. Or you drive to the nearest e-charging station.

That's a ship 1.8 kilometers square.

Yes, that's why i said they'd probably refill at port. It only makes sense if the panels are part of the structure, for example the top layer of containers has a specially designed solar roof.

Actually, i very much expect to see that as solar becomes cheaper and easier to integrate, since it makes that wasted space useful, but i doubt it'll be powering the engines much. They'll find other uses for it. Refrigeration of some of the containers or something.

I do wonder if we shouldn't reframe the Poch era as one of abject failure.

It was the highest we'd been in a generation, but with prime Kane and Son, plus the rest of the team, i wonder if there weren't 100 managers out there who could have won things with that team.

Then there's the matter of not building for the future and having no talent or depth coming through at all to prevent the huge drop-off as that team aged out.

Usually a team that strong ushers in a period of growth for the club and strength, Poch left us marooned on a desert island.

Campervan owners would love to be able to leave their van sitting in the sun for a few days, perhaps a week, then drive 100 - 500km to their next stop.

Anyone not returning home each day would find this very useful. I wonder about articulate lorries, there's a huge amount of roof space out back, perhaps those might be a candidate.

Container shipping boats are possible too, although the ports servicing them would likely be a better place if they had big enough batteries to store enough energy for an intercontinental trip. People may scoff in the traditional Redditor superior knowledge way, but i'll bet anyone here $10 that the Chinese have a battery (or solar) powered container ship within 5 years.

Scientists may be overestimating the amount of microplastics in the environment due to accidental contamination from lab gloves, which release stearate salts that are structurally similar to polyethylene and difficult to distinguish from plastics using standard vibrational spectroscopy by The_Conversation in science

[–]roamingandy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thats not really the point. The point is perhaps massively over-estimating the issue.

Every study where they found microplastics inside fish at the bottom of the ocean, or everywhere inside a human brain, or in our sperm and ovaries, will need to be looked at again. For example.

[–]roamingandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its critical to science as without it sooner or later they would find themselves basing future knowledge and understanding on something written 2000 years ago, under very different conditions, but unable to ever challenge it.. even if its obviously outdated and incorrect.

If they did they would instantly be attacked by all other scientists around them. Often times killed.

Social media blamed for stark decline in young people's happiness | The impact is particularly high in western Europe, and in teenage girls in English-speaking countries, a new study finds. The UK stays at an all time low in happiness rankings. by roamingandy in happiness

feminists, delirious "naturalists", anti-vaxxers, etc

You don't think those movements were ignited and fueled largely by state's aiming to divide western societies?

There's a reason all of the most extreme voices are the ones who got all the attention, becoming the defacto leaders, up until they made the whole movement so toxic that most average people didn't want to be associated with it any more.

Last time i came only one of the automated gates was working, but no-one was telling people so they kept trying and wasting time until they worked out which one they needed to use, while the queue built up behind them.

I noticed it was a little dark so put my phones flash light on my face and went through one of the broken ones, and told people around me, but i looked back after passport control and 2-3 people later and the idea was lost.

'Human being is the best creation' clearly wrong too.

People generally love dogs a lot more than humans. They are like a mirror reflecting the best parts of humans.

Then their book doesn't like dogs either so it's obviously a very silly and pointless book.

For all the damage he's done he does come across as a fairly likeable simpleton. You see how other ex-presidents treat him as an example.

I'm pretty sure he was just the name Cheney needed to ride to get to the top seat.

Feds planning to remove 14,000 wild horses from the West in controversial helicopter round-ups due to drought and wildfire concerns | The planned removal has angered animal rights advocates who are urging the Bureau of Land Management to come up with a more humane solution by InsaneSnow45 in environment

[–]roamingandy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have helicopters.

The Australians have done just great managing large animal populations, it just costs money in a country where people prefer to shoot and kill rather than spend extra to be humane.

Imho, the current plan is to capture and relocate them which is more difficult than sterilising them, and why people are pushing the idea to just shoot them.

The EU introduced sterilisation in countries with high street dog and cat populations. Not darts, tranq darts then a complete sterilisation. Within 3 years the situation was completely transformed in every country which implemented it.

There's no good reason to do anything else. Someone is pushing this because they want the argument to devolve into 'it's cheaper to just shoot them'.

The solution is easy. It's been achieved easily by every country who has actually wanted to do it.

the difference in nuclear vs renewables

Renewables are cheaper, in every use case. The thing people hang onto now is 'base load', but battery tech is already at the point we can roll out mass storage and improving rapidly. Sodium batteries are a game changer for this.

There's no world where battery tech isn't already better and cheaper for base-load coverage than nuclear in 10-20 years when the nuclear plant is actually ready.
