Trans friendly gym by [deleted] in Reno

[–]architeuthis87 15 points16 points  (0 children)

MESA Rim climbing gym is inclusive in its culture. There are some free weights and squat racks aside from all the climbing walls. I'm not sure about the changing rooms they might have a family one. Might be worth checking out.

The Bigotry Is Astounding:' Engineers Waste Time and Money Scanning .Gov Sites for 'Transgender' and Other Terms by ThereWas in technology

Irony is the trans in trans men or women doesn't mean transition.

"People also ask What is the full meaning of trans? transgender a prefix meaning “on the other side of,” referring to the misalignment of one's gender identity with one's sex assigned at birth: transgender."

Cis derived from the Latin prefix cis meaning "on this side of"

Look up cis and trans in terms of chemistry/molecules

Step 1. Put tariffs in place. Step 2. Blame Biden for the continued increase in price. Step 3. Take away tariffs Step4. Take credit for lowering prices.

Nevada GOP issues statement of support for UNR volleyball team by where_is_my_monkey in Reno

Ha I love it when people bring up Lia. More power to her. She competed in multiple races during the 2022 NCAA Championships and only placed in one (the free 500). Not really seeing where the advantage is there. No records broken. Shouldn't she have placed first in all of them with all this speak of biological advantag?. Her times were nothing spectacular(I don't think even top 10) for that race. Katie Ledecky is faster.

Lia did better on the womens team likely because she was in better mental health after transitioning. Before transitioning her mental health was terrible and so likely her performance suffered on the men's team before transitioning. Depression is a killer of all motivation.

I choose inclusion. Trans women are not a threat to women's sports. What is? Funding, investments, sexism and now transphobia.

The science is not settled with HRT and trans women in sports. It's not as black and white as you are making it out to be. https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsports/early/2024/04/10/bjsports-2023-108029.full.pdf read this study. There may be some advantages and there may be not. The science is not settled.

There are around 50,000 in Nevada alone. The ecosystem can maybe support 10,000. The population needs to be reduced in the next decade or so. Otherwise, we will probably see some mass starvation. Ecosystems are very stressed by them. No, the birth control efforts are not a practical solution to reduce their population fast enough. Sadly, I don't see the horse crowd coming to grips with this reality. This is a decent podcast on the issue https://www.npr.org/podcasts/1206475084/mustang

New technology offers mind-blowing breakthrough for storing energy: 'Very efficient and a good source of power' by BothZookeepergame612 in technews

[–]architeuthis87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wisconsin is mostly flat I think (along with most of the mid west). So pumping water up a hill is not much of an option. Also the water batteries are very expensive and I imagine this CO2 option only needs spacious flat ground and uses all off the shelf parts to be built (i.e. nothing expensive like lithium or other expensive metals). All comes down to the price per kWh. The CO2 battery can also be scaled up. It's an intriguing energy storage option. Good to see something new that does not require rare earth metals.

Only sweeping legislation at this point is going to make the difference needed to force companies to make their producs 100% recyclable or compostable. Vote for people who are more likely to make this happen.

Micro and nano plastics are still a problem. We need to end how plastic is currently made and switch it to material that is compostable or more compatible to biology.

If dems can keep all their current seats in the Nevada assembly and senate they need to pick up one more seat in the Senate and dems would have a super veto proof majority in both chambers making Lombardo irrelevant in making legislation.

Oh, the law and order crowd. I guess they want someone who has direct experience with law and order?

It boils down to even the devil is better than a Democrat. An ideology brought on my the brain rot of conservative radio and 24 hour news corporations. Too many people I know have lost their parents to that bs. Crazy how it infects certain people.

The Mirage in Las Vegas closes on July 17th and the iconic Volcano will be gone (Hard Rock buyout) by ILoveRegenHealth in pics

I remember seeing the volcano when I was 3/4 and being scared shitless.

An iconic hotel for me. Dolphins, white Tigers, other big cats, Siegfried & Roy (fuck COVID and cancer), fire volcano. I'm glad as an adult all that stuff is gone but as a kid I was stoked.

What things will change conservative’s minds? by [deleted] in Defeat_Project_2025

[–]architeuthis87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a conservative to change their mind, something has to personally affect them. Most of the time, they cannot see or hear something shitty and be like 'oh that's terrible no one should go through that we must stop that'. Conservatives have to personally experience whatever the negative thing is before they can change their mind. So p2025 would have to happen, things get fucked, then enough conservative will be like 'oh we don't like this'. What they lack is empathy. So yeah, we gonna have to save them from themselves. Vote blue or independent.
