    Poland to launch shorter working week pilot programme

    I was in Germany last year. A huge percentage of those working in service industries are Poles. (Thinking back it seems that perhaps those under 50 years old who did not speak at least passable English might well have been Poles or other non-Germans). I have to wonder if perhaps the proposals...

    Poland to launch shorter working week pilot programme

    Actually, that is all but a quote of something Ebeneezer Scrooge says.

    Poland to launch shorter working week pilot programme

    You might want to read 'Beyond This Horizon' by Robert Heinlein. It is easy to skim over the part that makes it clear one can exist quite nicely on just the Government dividend. (It seems that perhaps a major consideration is keeping it low enough that there is some incentive to work). It also...

    How Dangerous Was The Covid - 19 Vaccine

    I almost never have a reaction to a vaccine. But a couple of days after my second dose I experienced some pain in my right arm. The interesting thing is that I received that dose at Dodger stadium in my LEFT arm. No way could I be confused, this was early in the process and you did not get out...

    How Dangerous Was The Covid - 19 Vaccine

    Doh! getting tested and getting vaccinated are 2 entirely different things. Typically testing meant a nasal swab, e.g. an ordinary q tip stuck up your nose. This sort of report however is not that unusual.

    Ex-NFL Player Slams Minnesota AG Ellison for His Lawsuit Against Trump Admin Over Ban on Boys Playing Girls’ Sports

    That would mean outlawing every ball sport.

    Ex-NFL Player Slams Minnesota AG Ellison for His Lawsuit Against Trump Admin Over Ban on Boys Playing Girls’ Sports

    For some sporting activities just being harder to move is the point. Offensive linemen in American Football for example. In others it can be a significant disadvantage or put differently low bone density can be an advantage. Or at least a strange mix. Fausto Coppi, still one of the top 5...

    Ex-NFL Player Slams Minnesota AG Ellison for His Lawsuit Against Trump Admin Over Ban on Boys Playing Girls’ Sports

    Why would you conclude that? In fact the opposite is true. There are now Co-ed competitions at the highest levels in the form of mixed relays. Co-ed is not the same as open. Open almost always results in almost no women if the setting is highly competitive. Where things are competitive it is...

    Ex-NFL Player Slams Minnesota AG Ellison for His Lawsuit Against Trump Admin Over Ban on Boys Playing Girls’ Sports

    So if this were for a 10 and under league and instead of 2 trans kids it was 2 11-year-olds, would the list you gave be enough? Or would you also want the opposition team to be OK with it?

    Trump To Sign E.O. Tomorrow To Reduce Drug Prices by 30% to 80%

    With most insurance you cannot just buy as much of a prescription drug as you like. Only as much as is prescribed. In practice that means you cannot refill a prescription until you are down to about a weeks supply. As things are I've already had a couple of times where if a refill was not done...

    Trump to rewrite US history for 250th anniversary.

    In Trumpspeak accurate means flattering. I'm looking forward to Trumps more better history.

    U.S. Women suffer 5-0 defeat in their TST opener against Say Word FC

    That would depend on what sort of sport, just how untrained and far the sport is separated from everyday life. Oh and how 'cold' you expect the untrained male to come in. Take any college with a track and a football team and put the woman up against a lineman and my bet is on the football...

    U.S. Women suffer 5-0 defeat in their TST opener against Say Word FC

    Stephan Curry has the NBA free throw career record at 91.14% Elena Della Donne has the WNBA record at 93.70% Rob. Please wait a while to see if anyone else even knows enough to be able to figure it out.

    U.S. Women suffer 5-0 defeat in their TST opener against Say Word FC

    All the weight events in Track and Field are heavier for the men. I know where to look. Hmm. I think I may be able to find another record!

    U.S. Women suffer 5-0 defeat in their TST opener against Say Word FC

    Discus Women: 76.80 meters Men : 75.56 meters The women's record is much older, set 9 July 1988.

    U.S. Women suffer 5-0 defeat in their TST opener against Say Word FC

    I would have, but for an unexpected reason. At my high school it was played on asphalt, which pretty much meant no diving saves. I have seen coed volleyball played in a competitive but fun way. I've also (rarely) seen it played in a way where the women only touched the ball when serving or...

    U.S. Women suffer 5-0 defeat in their TST opener against Say Word FC

    Some people simply do not understand playing sports just for the fun of it! 50 years ago there was a standing pickup Rugby match near me every summer. Aside from completely disregarding the limits on substitution playing quarters and the like, it was at a fairly high level once play started...

    I have not seen anything claiming there was a trans person of any kind competing in this tournament!

    U.S. Women suffer 5-0 defeat in their TST opener against Say Word FC

    There is a world of difference between letting men compete in women's sports and keeping women out of open sports competitions. BTW the women who were getting blown away in the mixed relay clip would leave anyone posting in this thread in the dust.
