Re: UFOs

What technology is that? How do you go faster than light - which you will need to? The energy required to bend space-time is estimated* to be colossal. You don't go faster than light, that's the point. At 0.05c it would take 2 million years to reach the other end of the galaxy. That's a long time, ...

Re: UFOs

Grok, I’d love to believe there are aliens, but space is just too big for interstellar travel Now that's not true. With only a little bit more technology it would be possible to build generation ships that could colonise the galaxy in a million years or so. Given the time frames, distance and evolu...

Re: Can men now get their legs out in the office?

If they tried to tell me I couldn't wear shorts to work I may actually quit. It's too damn warm to wear long pants.

As for styling: my work is full of nerds, if we had to worry about styling our clothes they'd have had to fire the lot of us years ago :D

Re: men in skirts t shirt idea

The best way to do that isn't with slogans plastered on a t-shirt or a sticker, but simply standing up, raising high the middle finger (or the Power fist), and OWNING the matter. That works for us, but what can the people who stand with us do? It's similar to the Pride flag. If you are actually LBG...

Re: Dr Who Season 2 with Ncuti Gatwa

I really enjoyed that last episode. I mean, in what other program does a building suddenly sprout lasers to shoot giant walking dinosaur bone structures? Part of the fun of Doctor Who is the occasional absurdity in the way only the British can pull off properly. The utility kilt looked pretty cool, ...

Re: Did we get hacked?

Another site I visit has had similar issues in the recent past. It looks like bots scanning the site to gather data for LLM training purposes. They're usually pretty dumb bots that ignore any and all methods to tell them to bugger off. The robots.txt for example (though this site doesn't use that). ...

Re: Musings about our changing times and how I anticipate it may effect me (us)

I can't stop this. It's up to you. Now that I don't believe either. Ok, your political system is setup so you're basically stuck for 4 years, or at least 2. I consider this a major flaw of presidential systems, but it is what it is. You always have the most influence in your local community, so tha...

Re: Being fired for not conforming to masculine stereotypes

We live in by far, the most free country on the face of God’s earth. Tell me you're an American without saying you're an American. You probably believe it too. The fact that an individual was fired because his personal choices didn’t align with those of his employer - is unfortunate, but not trauma...

Be glad you're not in the US armed forces: Transgender troops will be removed from the military .

Re: Philosophical beliefs in Equality Act

Ok, so this is a bit weird. Why do you have a law that protects beliefs? People can believe whatever they like and don't need to justify that to anybody. Otherwise that would make them thought-crimes. It's article 9 of the ECHR. The only thing the law should talk about is actions . If you want to be...

Re: Being fired for not conforming to masculine stereotypes

I understand what you are doing but in practice it becomes a minefield of potential insults if we get it wrong. Who is being potentially being insulted here? The argument (im not a women so cant say for sure) by some born women is it is an attack on womenhood. It seem you are suggesting that some w...

Re: Dr Martens woes

the EU had been less arrogant and given him a decent deal to put to the British public. By "EU" you mean "the other member states" who didn't really understand why the UK should be treated any different from anyone else. Cameron did have some good points, but his strategy of cla...

Re: Two points in the Trans debate

There's also Korfball, where a team always consists of 4 male and 4 female players.

Doesn't appear to be well known though.
