mainly because nobody really knows where they are with it, and it is impossible to intercept and analyze the signals.
Maybe they just launched a nonfunctional satellite to F with us.... but there are reports that they have sent a quantum transmission over 100 miles. That IS sobering

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnew ... cna1045526Justice Department says it mistakenly emailed link to white nationalist website
The Justice Department on Thursday said an email sent to immigration court employees this week should not have included a link to a white nationalist website.
The email, which included links to daily stories involving immigration news, included a link to a blog post on VDare, a white nationalist site, Buzzfeed News reported.
The blog post “directly attacks sitting immigration judges with racial and ethnically tinged slurs,” the immigration judges' union complained in a letter to DOJ that was obtained by Buzzfeed. “Publication and dissemination of a white supremacist, anti-Semitic website throughout the EOIR is antithetical to the goals and ideals of the Department of Justice,” the letter said.

Transgender rugby player playing with 'a smile on my face'
We have come full circle now. The media is overjoyed at a dude for brutalizing women.Born Nicholas Gareth Morgan, she played representative rugby for east Wales as a teenager.
Injury ended that initial involvement with the sport but, after a decade wrestling with gender identity and transitioning to female, Kelly is back playing - and loving it.
Having impressed in friendly fixtures for Porth Harlequins Ladies, she now hopes to compete in the Welsh women's leagues from September.
Transgender women participating in female sport is a divisive subject, and one not confined to Welsh rugby.
Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) guidelines - which are "fully committed to the principles of equality" - state Kelly can play providing her blood-measured testosterone levels are within a certain range.
And she has taken a daily dose of the female hormone oestrogen for the past 18 months.
"They don't half make you cry," she says. "My body shape, my size... it's scary the massive difference it makes. I don't think I'll ever get used to hormones."
At nearly 6ft she stands out among her team-mates, and club captain Jessica Minty-Madley recounts a time she folded an opponent "like a deckchair".

Kinda curious that it's mostly biological men trannies that dominate women's sports but you never hear about someone born a woman who goes on to dominate men's sports.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Had a brief discussion about global warming on this board and was shocked at the lack of desire for good data.
Looks as if Dr Mann, the infamous "hockey stick" graph creator,has lost his court case because he wouldn't share his data.
As he teaches at Penn State, he pulled a Sandusky on the data. Diddled it and tried to hide it.

"The rules of discovery provide that a litigant must make available to opposing parties documents that reasonably bear on the issues in the case. Here, it is absurd for Mann to sue Ball for libel, and then refuse to produce the documents that would have helped to show whether Ball’s statement about him–he belongs in the state pen–was true or false. The logical inference is that the R2 regression analysis and other materials, if produced, would have supported Ball’s claim that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud on Mann’s part."

Shit science.
The hockey stick may be true, but without the sharing of data, nobody can properly evaluate Mann's findings.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
It's a weird debate, and I'm not certain what will be done. You'd think a 3rd classification would work, but then you have advocates for trans-athletes pushing back that not getting to be called male or female is itself discrimination. There's two classifications now (male and female) because without it females would naturally not fare well in most athletic contests. There are plenty of places now in the US where governing federations (high school, state, etc) don't even require medical treatments to have been begun to be considered the gender you identify with - so a guy who identifies female can compete as a female with no medical restriction at all. The argument against cis-athletes is tough luck, trans athletes have been more marginalized so they'll get the protection. Like I said, a weird debate.css75 wrote:BDKJMU wrote:“Transgender sprinters finish 1st, 2nd at Connecticut girls indoor track championships
