Where I was playing they had all three. I know it sounds 'woke' to some, but there is a real effort in special needs areas to stop defining people by their disabilities or certain aspects like being non-binary. For example, to stop saying a Down Syndrome kid and just say he is a kid who happens to have Down Syndrome. I agree the term 'trans kids' is a problem as that then makes being trans such an outsized part of who they are, instead of them being kids who like sports, school, riding bikes, whatever. When people are labeled there is a tendency to forget all the other things about that person. I agree with @StringJunky though that this will for the most part go away after a while. Just like being gay, in a mixed marriages, an atheist, an unwed mother, and all the other things that are no longer an issue for most people.

In most forum programs, when someone replies to your thread, their messages are emailed to every member who participated in that thread. So their contents are in their mailboxes and backups of companies hosting POP3 and SMTP servers. If someone uses a PC email application, copies of those emails (=posts on the forum), are on their drives.. I have disks with e-mails from 1997..

Something to consider…

If one is pumping deep water up, why not use it for an OTEC system, producing reliable clean energy? Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a process or technology for producing energy by harnessing the temperature differences (thermal gradients) between ocean surface waters and deep ocean waters. Energy from the sun heats the surface water of the ocean. In tropical regions, surface water can be much warmer than deep water. This temperature difference can be used to produce electricity... https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/hydropower/ocean-thermal-energy-conversion.php

OK, I'm delighted you have replied. We get a lot of bots and drive-by spammers and I thought you might be one of those. I do think there's a problem with multiple oxidation states. Higher oxidation states of, for example, transition elements, tend to form bonds that have a lot more covalent character than lower oxidation states of the same element. This is not surprising when one thinks of the ionisation energies or, which comes to the same thing, the polarising power of a highly charged cation. I also wonder if you might give a better overall sense of what is going on if you were to use a colour coding scheme to distinguish the types of bond, instead of writing out the text each time. After all, you only mention 2 or 3 types of bonding. But good luck with your project.

Oh interesting! I will have to read up on this. +1 Taking a tiredness break and then thinking out it a bit more is exactly the right way to go. +1 I have thrown away most of my old maths notes now, but came across this piece that you might find helpful about my comments on set theory, Godel, and the natural numbers.

It may be closer to human hair than Michael Fabricant's "headpiece". https://www.indy100.com/politics/is-michael-fabricants-hair-real He says it's real but he's a politician and even his name means "someone who makes things up".

Hold on, you are saying that the stuff on Boris Johnson's head is his actual hair? Also I think men are not mocked for wigs, but rather for bad quality wigs (which women more commonly avoid, I would think).

Yes, we surely cannot trust all those “doctors” with their “medicine” and years upon years of “training” to do what’s right FOR their patient in consultation WITH their patient and WITH the parents of those patients over the course of SEVERAL years working together to find the healthiest path and treatment regimen for these children. They’re just looking for a quick score and to make a quick buck! 🙄

You put up the suggestion it would be a way to capture emissions - you need to show that it does. Throwing the burden of proof - that carbon sedimentation is too small, the amount it needs to expand too great and it won't work - onto me isn't helping your argument. It is your claims about carbon sedimentation that are in question, not the validity of data from The Global Carbon Project in diagram form. It is clear to me what the numbers represent and the diagram provides it's own context - the Carbon Cycle and the values of sinks and fluxes. If those numbers should not be trusted and are wrong, you are invited to show that.

Turns out simpler than I at first thought. Good one.

I think they go very much in the direction I was suggesting...

@Phi for All I don't care that I have 12000 posts, I want them got rid of now. If you don't I'll empty SFN of cheese nips. When one posts one should accept it's there forever and even if they were deleted, it is still kept under various government retention Acts or Decrees for some specified minimum time in the servers.

I am thoroughly confused and tired. I have to think about this more.

I played in an open soccer league, both men and women. No limits to prevent injuries. Women just didn't play if they couldn't compete at that level. Just like men didn't play who couldn't compete at that level.

It's an English figure of speech. If I had known English was not your first language, I would not have used it.

What are you afraid of?
