Macrophages also surround and absorb objects in a process called 'phagocytosis'.

That was a general statement about human nature, inspired by your posts. I'm not immune, I might add, although I try to keep self-aware about it. Not a chance of changing my music tastes now, for example.

You are farting into the wind. Male and female as the only descriptors is loaded onto the dustbin of history. It's amusing, human development. We start out with black and white views as youngsters, and eventually we develop an understanding of nuances in things... grey things. Then we hit our seventh decade, or thereabouts, and the world is black and white again! I think people just give up the desire to learn and end up entrenched with an attitude twenty years out of date.

You could say that this is what you get societally when people are freer to express themselves... it often creates more categories. In my eyes, feminists are emerging as the new Luddites, in the face of things like transgenderism and recognition of variations in self-identity.

C'est la vie. So, women, actually want to be recognised as a distinct and separate ("separate but equal") class of person? Where did the cries for equality go? Social phenomena and behaviour is in constant flux, it's nobody's fault that these distinct causes happen at the same time.

How about 'treated'?

I've just made my case. Using terms like "successfully drugged" sounds rather derogatory.

"Successfully drugged" ? I think it's clear where the author of this post stands. Don't be disingenuous and fly your "anti-LGBTQIA+" flag.

Online, every transaction I do brings up the bank page and I'm required to enter the number they send as well the cvv number. Dual authentication every time.

Trump vowed to "take historic action to defeat the toxic poison of gender ideology to restore the timeless truth that God created two genders, male and female." - Trump at a rally. I hope to see all this rhetoric thrown back at him if he wins the nomination. and then has to present it to the swing states.

You've also got a paper and video trail to follow. I can also arbitrarily block my card at my convenience, which I do when I misplace it. I got robbed last week or two, including my card; no losses apart from losing the card, my wallet, a few quid and covid card... which I found on a path near my abode a day or so later. I do notice a sizable number of people using some sort of contactless phone app nowadays more and more.

Thanks Seth.

No probs.

Cheers

I thought you might have.

The pressure is the first effect, and that causes ignition, then it gets swamped. Would the combined pressure of the ignited air/components, and incoming seawater be additive on the occupants ie their bodies experienced a pressure greater than just from the depth pressure itself, albeit briefly?

Find another commonality unrelated to skin tone between all black people, and use that. I thought of sickle cell, but that's only 1 in 13; thinking like the GOP here.

There will always be some frauds and mentally-ill people, I think that is recognised, hence the lack of arm-flailing.

Nice. I probably won't be around then. Would it be like sonar, as an analogy, measuring the GW Stochastic Background? I just saw this Arxiv paper as I was looking up what you were on about. Have you seen it: Stochastic gravitational wave background: methods and Implications

I thought it was interesting, and seems to be working without further political uproar... as it would be your side of the pond..

I originally put this in the 'Whiteboard'' thread and realized it's in the wrong place. To lift it to here, do people think this was handled well?:

That part about him did cross my mind, but I still thought it was relevant. If you knew about neither, that's how it would look, I think. Here's a story from today of a UK teen abusing in a gender-neutral school toilet. Do you think this is handled well?

Also, one should note that a technique that is at 'proof of concept', doesn't mean it can necessarily be applied substantively in the wild. Not saying this instance is so, but it's something to be aware of.

I reside in the Aquarian/Piscean part of the Zodiac, so I'm more logical than the other zones. It's rubbish.
