Transgender athletes face growing hostility: four tell their stories in their own words
  • Right, but no women? Not one since the introduction of the rule? I've know many female athletes and all of them would and could handle the abuse if they wanted to compete with male athletes.

  • Transgender athletes face growing hostility: four tell their stories in their own words
  • You say that as if it's true for all trans women. It isn't. I agree with you however that the IOC's solution introduced in 2003 works fine. The only reason it's coming up now is because of politics.

  • It isn't instantly converted back to water. Even if it were, it doesn't instantly go back into the ocean. This over simplification of "hydrogen means free energy" is dangerous and is reminiscent of the early days of nuclear and fossil fuels. Don't flame me for wanting to consider all the possible negative effects. Neglecting potential downsides is why our planet is in such a terrible state now.

    Has anyone considered the effects of increasing the salt concentration of the ocean? And don't tell me "the ocean is big, we couldn't possibly have an effect" because that's what climate deniers have been saying the about the atmosphere for decades. Our fresh water supplies were massive at one point too and look what we did to them. Our water needs are growing and will continue to grow. We need to consider and account for all potential side effects.

  • Why is the solution to our problems always to tap into yet another finite resource? Can we not just stop buying shit we don't need? Is it that hard to stop growing crops where they don't belong? How about we stop paving over all our watersheds? Why's the solution have to be "just start sucking it out of the ocean?"

    What do you call these? (Gold connectors)

    I work for an electronics recycler and test equipment that comes through to see if its upcycle worthy. I'm a general electronics nerd but don't know much about audio equipment. I ran across these a few months ago and love them. But I tried looking for some for myself and realized I don't know what they actually called.

    Dr. says I must completely quit marijuana?

    I realize that this turned into a wall of text. See TLDR.

    I made the decision to seek psychiatric care for what I believe to be ADHD. At my new patient appointment, after being drug tested at the door, we discussed my occasional use of marijuana. They made me agree to completely stop consuming weed and in no certain terms said they would drug test me in a month's time to make sure I actually quit.

    I understand that there is some concern that marijuana can worsen ADHD. I am not in a position to challenge my care provider on the science of the matter. What I don't understand is why they are taking such overbearing measures to make sure I abstain from marijuana.

    For example, when I had a colonoscopy performed a couple of years ago, I was advised by my doctor not to consume any food or liquids within a certain window before the procedure. I simply agreed to fast during that period and that was it. They trusted me to be an adult and follow their instructions. They didn't check for food in my stomach when I arrived at the hospital.

    I should note that this practice primarily practices substance abuse treatment. Could this be a side effect of some zero-tolerance policy? Or do they really believe that smoking marijuana is that detrimental to my well-being?

    TLDR; Dr asked me to quit smoking weed in order to get access to treatment. And said they would drug test me.

    1. Did your Dr also mention marijuana?
    2. Did they drug test you?
