I used to go to a club in the 90s in Sydney which had a couple of main rooms with DJs in, and then a separate DJ who just played the toilets - that was fun. He was above both male and female sink areas so he could see who was in there and c

Sorry I miss-read your statement, I thought you were professing a clear connection, but reading again that isn't what you were saying.

Gender dysphoria is not about lacking a hormone. People born a man with 100 percent of the testosterone they 'should' have, can still have a total need to transition to Female. Giving them more testosterone won't help.

Why are there more female to male (than male to female) transitions then? Surely these hormones (if they have the affect you describe) would be reducing the number of born women who become men?

Society is largely still more accepting of Female to Male transition, than Male to Female. Plus the gendered power balance might leave more people adverse to making the shift in public. I would also 'guess' that those who transiti

Last time I looked the Nook simple touch (6 inch android eink tablet) was about £30 delivered 2nd hand. Love mine. I spent a long time (a few years ago) setting it up with all sorts of android fun, but now I just use it as a epub reader and

I LOVE kiwi with the skin on. I rub the fruit against my jeans or a tea towel first, then just eat like a pear. Really adds to the whole flavour (like how eating a pealed apple is nice, but a whole apple can be better.

Where you are, will you actually get access to the Data? Or will they just review and store it for you? Just interested in the output and what you actually get to keep.

Do you really believe in the change? Not just bought in to someone else's idea, but fully understand it, believe in it, and are able to confidently both defend it and highlight where the benefits to the team are? Do you have another te

Because of the historical record? Feel free to add some detail or opinion if you have one.

Large stone houses needed numbers of servants to collect and prepare firewood to keep them warm, and required materials (and workers) no long available to maintain. Even the 'rich' kings and queens after the romans were no where n

It is similar to when the roman empire collapsed here in the UK - why didn't the local people just live in the houses the roman left? Well they couldn't afford to run them for a start, and the businesses and trade that had made th

This - during lockdown we got a printer plus refillable ink cartridges - and let the kids go crazy. They loved printing photos and making collages, but mainly loads of colouring sheets and quite a bit of 'homework' - we definitely

I find the idea that you can't grow, progress or build a network, when working from home, really alien. I've personally and workwise developed hugely in the last 3 years, despite being remote. I have built networks with people I&#

My wife is a coeliac (not an allergy, a disease linked to inflammation), and so doesn't eat wheat, but we end up talking to loads of people about wheat once they hear that. I think most people would consider themselves to have a gluten

Brilliant summary here of how Apple often focus on 'Why' you need something - rather than pushing the 'What' it is. They smashed this for the ipod, the iphone and the ipad - and more recently with headphones. Will be int

Interesting - my wife has also found Iron supplements have helped, as has a NAC complex whenever she's had another illness in the last year or so.

Take care - I hope you get to improve. My wife got covid back in March 2020 and was pretty ill, then fell into full long covid (back before anyone knew what it was). She was totally wiped out (I have posts on my account detailing it if you

Stobe's videos got me through lockdown. Was so sad to hear he had died. Stunning videos, huge character, and so much soul in the journeys he went on.

Yeah, anyway outside of the centre of London and even there outside of peak hours, and waiting in the street for a cab can be a long wait.

Out of interest, which bit of the flow they described is different in NYC? It was similar to that in London 10 years ago - the most 'fun' thing used to be booking a cab for an airport drop - would they turn up at 3am as planned? I

Still seems magical to me that the largest animals ever to live on this planet are alive today (or maybe 200 years ago would have been a better time to be a whale, before hunting too many of their largest). Interesting that this creature is
