This was my periodic reminder of the particular kind of awesome that you are.

"I don't even want to see a picture of you"? I LOVE it.

Were they easy to pick or did you have to go sloe-ly?

I think it would hang weird and make your garment want to stick out to the sides. You could always pin some on a dummy/wrap it on yourself to see how it behaves before you cut.

Course he is, like I'm boycotting the tea cupboard in my kitchen.

Holy shit Ben is on fire today!

I have already achieved something good today ๐Ÿ˜

That's going in the ยฃ75 silver version. I might add a ยฃ200 platinum one where I throw things at people then shout DUCK when it's already hit them.

Yet again I am seriously considering actually doing the Jo Sharp Communication Skills Course where I charge ยฃ50 a head then stand at the front and shout "IF YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO DO SOMETHING, YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM" for half an hour.

Oh wow this is very relevant to my interests, thank you for sharing it on Bluesky!

If everything you do is wrong then do whatever you want.

It's like the cherry on the shit-cake that the party most likely to send us to extermination camps also picked my wife's favourite colour.

Because the Antichrist was at the door then saw how much data I've got to process from my last experiment and decided to come back in a decade or two when I might have finished? Sounds legit.

Ok the writer of the article that the post was about was **lying** about those women by writing that. That's a thing writers do sometimes when they have an agenda.

24.09.2025 15:16 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No it's not though. Those 60 women never changed anything. They were just minding their business until they did this study and got some really surprising news about their genetics. They've been female all their life, competed as women, and been beaten by women.

Oh my god that's gorgeous! Do you know what the nanoparticles are?

It is really beautiful work. The edges of the tiniest ones are really hard to preserve and image.

There are so many other reasons a playing field is never level. Some kids have bad coordination. Some have asthma. Some live where there's nowhere outside to play and get fit. Some of them have parents who can drive them to training and some don't. It was never level and not because of trans women.

But there will always be somebody who is taller or stronger or faster. Can we ban the top 10% of girls by height from playing netball to make it level for the rest? No, that would be ridiculous. Given these 60 women had an SRY gene and never noticed, it's about that level of difference here.

Ahh that's what T1 is!

That's gorgeous! What imaging mode is it, and what sample prep was used? I have always struggled to resolve those laths so nicely!

I think you may be assuming his order of priority, possibly incorrectly - political loyalty can be strong but wanting to save lives is often stronger.

Also I think they had the standard equipment and processes and trained staff ready to go. It's what they do all the time.

It keeps telling me that too and I also have no idea!

A few years later the Tories were talking about how PPE shortages were imagined which was just insulting.

I remember hearing from local NHS workers that they had literally no PPE for small particulates and some of our students went round our powder processing labs, idle because of lockdown, and took literally ยฃthousands of PPE to hospitals and that's all the nurses had been given.

You seem to have a lot of talking points but you need to pause and listen to the nuance.

He wasn't lying. They offered to do public testing and were ignored so they did testing for the local NHS instead.

That's nauseating.
