As I understand it we aren't supposed to discuss politics, unless it impacts the topic of MIS. That's technically the way the thing is supposed to work, but right there the camel gets its nose under the tent-flap and is pretty soon inside. It also trusts the hope that there's a sense of society and...

Add to Phathack's thesis that we also want to remove the implicit coupling of skirt-on-a-guy==pervert. It's damaging, pointless, and likely inaccurate in any number of ways. Sometimes a skirt is just an article of clothing. We need to treat it as such.

I don't recall any interaction with a man that indicated that he thought me feminine, even though I'm almost always in a skirt or dress. That's because of the interaction, which overrides a passive observation. I'll bet that you weren't behaving in a feminine manner (women don't any more, anyway) a...

Naive question: why is a geosynchronous orbit of any importance? It seems of no particular relevance to lunar travel, and it's not a "fixed" point relative to anything in space. Would a Lagrange point be of benefit? Though that would be a long way out. Not a naive question in the slightes...

I think you are misreading. The issue for some is not that skirts imply femininity, homosexuality, or deviancy, but that young people who are questioning their gender identity do *not* seem naturally to regard wearing skirts as a part of that. (And why should they, since many of the girls wear jean...

[...] your post resonates with me. What you said is almost exactly where my son was when at University. He just wears jeans and a hoody when he meets me and his mum but he has long hair, painted nails,[...] Attribution deliberately left out as this is starting to look like a universal issue. What h...

We are thin on the ground because the indoctrination is so through it surrounds us in all directions. So much so that people will say things like this: "Men have no interest in clothes" "My husband can't even be bothered to iron his clothes" Worse is that it gets into our sister...

I remember my first similar trips to London in a skirt. It was only three years ago LOL. I was expecting the world to fall in and knowing that it would not. Every time I read comments like that I get a chuckle out of them because I remember the stiffness of terror begin to overtake me the first tim...

The present has a disturbing resemblance to the years leading up to World War II. I was making comments like that years ago, Nothing new. Exploring the solar system by sail boat . This, too, is old news and a prototype has already been tested in orbit. It -- as predicted -- was successful, but not ...

You're thinking inside a box. A complete station could not be launched into orbit. It would require building the station IN ORBIT . Many launches would be required to get "the parts" into orbit to construct the station. Actually, for this, I'm using the conventional thinking the Soviets w...

IMHO, what's "new" is the fact we're heading back to the moon, now using improved materials and techniques. I look forward to humanity having a 'Moon Base', even though I won't live long enough to see it. "The more complex they make the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain...

While Apollo 13 had an accident and made an unplanned loop around the moon Apollo 8 (December 21–27, 1968) was the first to make and orbit of the moon. Quite a while before Apollo 13 as well. Recall, too, that Apollo 11 executed the first landing on the moon, and that involved orbital manoeuvres as...

But some won't let you shop until you choose a gender (or perhaps more accurately, a sex). My understanding is that most retailers would like to change this but it is built into the software at a very deep level. If this is wired into the software, then somebody should have been sacked years ago. T...

And now history is repeating. Unrest in Iran and the Overton window is moving to the right at increasing speed. Again. Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. The problem now is that there isn't any room remaining at the right of the spectrum unless the entire world goes outright NA...

My one regret is that I'd have been in the same situation nigh on 60 years ago. Nothing has changed. No, nothing has really -- and that's what pains me. I witnessed the progress that was made in the '60s and the '70s on this front, and saw it all snatched away in the rightward lurch that convulsed ...
