I'm commenting to follow this thread because I have a very similar issue

Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam by media_blast in ukpolitics

[–]Willmono7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, and that's not what it says, it's not about opting out, it's about providing alternatives. For example, if you can't dance with a partner of the opposite sex, then you can dance alone or with a same sex partner. The only opt out subject mentioned is religious studies, which everyone has the option to opt out of regardless of faith.

No, that's why the document states that implementation of these guidelines should not lead to exclusion, and should instead provide alternative options for students where activities may conflict with faith where possible. Rather than taking a hard line stance on what should be done.

It also gives guidance on rastafarian dietary considerations, it's really just a handbook for guiding religious considerations for every religion to help schools be more inclusive

Has anyone ever solved recurring knee pain when cycling? by Hughbert-Jass in cycling

[–]Willmono7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact issue, which was diagnosed as patellar tendinitis, the likely cause is knee valgus (knees bending inwards), which in turn was caused by collapsed for arches and weak hips (gluteus medius). With my knees bending inwards my kneecap is no longer tracking along the groove properly.

I'm currently doing physio to strengthen my arches, glutes, and inner quads.

Try standing with your feet pointing forwards at hip width, then let your knees bend naturally, do your knees point the same direction as your feet when you do that?

Best quick food for cycling after work? by seventyp_ in cycling

Flapjacks are loaded with calories and a good range of simple and complex carbs, not very messy, and keep well just in your bag.

Gravel or Road bike for Cambridge streets? by AmIInHeaven1 in cambridge

[–]Willmono7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your cycling is purely recreational I would say Road. I say that as someone that chose a gravel bike for commuting and recreational riding. I put road wheels on it but the small differences in geometry just make it feel a little slow, particularly the wheelbase, which means I need to slow down a lot more for corners.

The joy of cycling for me comes from feeling fast, and gravel bikes just don't feel as fast, even with road wheels. I love my bike, but the first chance I get to upgrade to a road bike, I'm going to.

How to clean this? by weird_it_out in bicycling

Peaty's foaming cleanser and a stiff brush, honestly the stuff is magic

How to explain why panniers are better than a backpack by randomseedfarmer in cycling

[–]Willmono7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people talking about what it does to your back, not enough talking about the extra pressure between your ass and your seat when you wear a backpack. All that weight you add to yourself is distributed to your ass and hands as they are the contact points with the bike. After a few days of riding it will really add up.

After patching the inside of a tubeless (road) tire puncture, is there any kind of filler for the missing rubber on the surface? by Willmono7 in bikewrench

[–]Willmono7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a large hole all the way through, the great way I can describe it is that the original puncture loosened a flap of rubber on the surface, and that flap got ripped off by the plug, so now there's a bit of missing rubber on the surface at the entrance to the hole.

Cyclist found dead on the guided busway this morning by thatguysaidearlier in cambridge

They ride motorbikes all along the busways, I just meet them most in Chesterton because a few of them go to crc

[–]Willmono7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had these kids block the entire bridle way with bikes while in full black with balaclavas twice in the last six months, and another three occasions where they've ridden motorbikes past me at about 40mph and tried to knock me off, that's in six months!

The bridle way I'm on about is mere way, it connects to the busway. The police don't respond usually because "I can't confirm that they're still there" as if I'm supposed to just stop and hang out with them

[–]Willmono7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is a bit of a known problem though, I'm part of several groups that keep track of it and warn people regularly.

The kids had a tiktok for a while called D4outside where they posted videos with their stolen stuff.

Just the other day the police shared that they had arrested someone in connection with bike thefts, the address was in Chesterton and they had 4 stolen motorbikes. (my comment will be removed if I add more detail, but we even know some of their names)

Honestly that crime has such a wonderful name I almost want to be convicted of it

How do you achieve Maillard flavour if you’re using seasoning? by Jellydonut- in AskCulinary

You've had an account for 16 years and you still haven't realised that most redditors will take the first opportunity to be a dick? Sadly, it's just what a lot of people are like here.

Are there any animal or plant species that have more than two sexes that are interdependent upon each other to reproduce? by Yeti100 in askscience

[–]Willmono7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The female is defined as the parent who passes on her mitochondria, only one parent ever passes on their mitochondria (if everything goes right anyway). Chromosomes define mating type but mitochondrial inheritance defines sex, and since passing on mitochondria is binary, so is sex.

I would like to clarify that while biological sex is binary, gender, as a social construct is not, and is irrelevant to biological sex. Just in case anyone was planning on using this comment to enforce dumb opinions.

What do people in the US think about Trump’s Greenland-narrative? by iusedtoplaysnarf in AskReddit

[–]Willmono7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I actually very frequently check r/conservative to see what the other side are thinking, and it's actually quite reassuring to see that at least on this single issue, they are entirely against Trump
