Joining the EU? Would that have even been possible?

I mean, I think it would've been awesome to be able travel to Russia without a VISA and just start working there...

You're one search away from the truth, my friend

 

With all the money going into the Ukraine war and other ventures since Putin came to power, I imagine there's a lot of stuff he could've done to make the world a better place and Russia a formidable world power.

Not a biologist, but I'm convinced it's possible.

With induced pluripotent stemcells (stemcells made from nearly any cell of the body which can grow into anything too), we'll find a way to make an egg from a man using any cells he provides. Then all you need is the other male partner's sperm and a donor womb. Btw, the womb won't have to be within a woman - artificial wombs are being researched.

Someone already posted the 3 parent technique. So it is at least already partially possible.

Since males have the XY chromosomes, they should be able to (theoretically) have female (XX) and male (XY) offspring. With advanced microbiology and artificial wombs, there's no doubt in my mind that we'll reach that point before the end of the century.

Google just wants to copy the fruit store. They want total control and have seen how the fruit store does it. Competition is bad for business.

I want to see the fediverse grow to enter the mainstream. For forum stuff specifically, that means as big or bigger than reddit. The more people discover and work on this federated form thing, the better. There will be better moderation tools, better filtering, better website experience and design, hopefully more developers enjoying opensource, etc.

And most of all, I want to see how this network will cope with not just a few thousand people talking but millions, maybe billions. If it can survive becoming mainstream, stay opensource, and ad-free, that I think we'll be a step closer to a better internet.

How so? Creating an account is like any other sign up? Everyone has an @username@server like email. There's nor much else to care about in order to use it.

Did you tell a news station about it? CNN would probably pick it up

Sleep, dude. You can't sleep at work. Or can you?

Meloni, good job.

 

The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women

The way that the visual centers of men and women's brains works is different, finds new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Biology of Sex Differences. Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors.

 

No more men's and women's league, no more "gender eligibility" requirements, a common dresscode, same standards and rules for all.

Edit: since it looks like people missing the word let: the suggestion isn't to force desegregation. It's to allow it or even make it the default. Someone else made a good suggestion: segregate by attributes specific to the sport. In boxing it's weight class, in basketball it could be height, in biking it could even be doped and non doped. Sex and gender need not be the very first thing to segregate by.

 

I just heard of a Non Educated Delinquent (NED) but that's Scottish

 

Or is it just a term made up to find an easier reason to reject job applicants?


So it looks like the consensus is "overqualified" is a euphemism for

  • "I'm afraid you'll leave this job because I'm assuming you'll have better chances elsewhere" aka "you won't accept being my slave forever due to lack of opportunities"
  • "I'm afraid you might actually understand how shitty it is here and want to improve things. can't have that"
  • "I don't want to figure out how much to pay you when you know your worth"
  • "You cost too much"
  • "I have other reasons, but won't say them"
 

Did she win it?

 

Dating apps are often a miserable experience for the participants, however for some reason they are quite popular and at times can be quite addictive.
