It is the exact same story with darts. You'd expect parity.

There could be parity in abilities across gender AND a large discrepancy between the top preforming peoples in a task between genders.
Its not just strength and stamina. Transgender apologists try to always boil sport differences down to this to make it seem like the differences are surmountable. But they are not. There are far more differences. Women cannot compete at shooting sports for example. Nor racing driving. But they absolutely can compete in music. A pianist can be every bit as good female as male. You'd need to work out what the difference between playing an instrument and playing snooker is.

Below is a young woman playing the guitar. I'd wager there aren't many men on earth that can play like her.


There is a chance, albeit small, that you may be neglecting to consider the size of the populations of the competitors when determining absolute gender ability. But probably not.

I’m fully vaxxed. No side effects except I got kind of tired the night of the second shot and it turned me hella gay.

It is a very weird chat but fun!

Did anyone argue about what year it was?

Rushy, I have lost dozens of dollars in crypto. When should I sell?

Never sell.

If I never sell then what's the difference between buying crypto and simply lighting my money on fire? Lighting it on fire at least provided me warmth.

You can borrow against your position.

You must think me one of great wealth. Let me divorce you of that notion.

My response wasn’t about you specifically. It’s about how you can generate wealth from unrealized gains. Borrow against the position and invest in something you plan to liquidate for a gain.

Ah, I see the confusion, I said "If I never sell..." but you thought I said, "If a theoretical individual with the potential to have vast sums of wealth tied up in crypto never sells..."

Easy mistake.

You can get a reasonable diagnosis of some skin cancers from a telehealth visit. Similarly, maybe cancers can be identified by simply showing your drivers license on a telehealth call.

Here is the latest from Rushy on Bitcoin:

<Rushy> it could go up or down from here

This is the kind of hard-hitting analysis that I'm here for.

I just liquidated my 401k and bought into the Star Citizen craze. Who wants to play with me!

Let's say the individual in question was a highly sociable investment banker living in a major city, then. Does that change your answer?

In this case yes, their sentence should be increased. In fact, if we never return to a pre-Covid-like world then their sentence may be extended indefinitely.

I think that it depends on how each individual defines "ordinary life". For example, if a person's ordinary life was staying at home all day on an isolated farm and murdering the occasional delivery person, then I see no reason why they couldn't be released and continue with their life as the current global climate would not overly change their day-to-day.

Announcements / Flat-Earth Theory Rockets Forward
« on: November 24, 2017, 10:41:02 PM »
Though we live in a world fraught with Fake News, occasionally a really good story comes across our desks here at The Flat Earth Society. We believe in a tactile approach to learning and understanding, one that forces individuals to break out of the constraints placed upon them by society and achieve new heights. Terms like, “that’s as hard as rocket science” was questioned by fellow Flat-earther Mike Hughes who is challenging such notions by building his own steam-powered rocket to launch himself into the atmoplane.
 

Hughes is a limo driver from the American West Coast and while he was unable to be reached for comment, his understanding of concepts like trajectory, magnetopause, and terracentric orbital dynamics was clearly not stifled by the liberal round-earth agendas of our “top” universities. Once Hughes launches himself high into the air, it will be yet another piece of evidence for our flat-earth.

What’s perhaps most impressive is that in true Rowbothiam fashion, Hughes has made his rocket steam powered! Not even the laws against building ballistic missiles can keep Hughes grounded. Godspeed, Hughes. We here at The Flat Earth Society salute you.
