Technically half of it already belongs to the United States. Even more technically all of it already belongs to America (the continent)

One I haven't seen mentioned yet that I think needs more exposure is miniminuteman: https://m.youtube.com/@miniminuteman773/

He does a mix of long form archeology videos and short form pseudo-archeology debunking. Some of it should be dry content but his delivery bridges the gap every time. He has a side channel where he posts about his side projects like his solo motorcycle trips that's also interesting.

Genuinely lol'd, do what you gotta do my man.

I got back into scifi books recently as an adult and was disgusted to find that virtually all of the "great" scifi authors are menwritingwomen trope goldmines.

When there are female main characters that aren't just the authors fetishs, they're typically subjected to violence, with rape used so frequently as female "character development" that it would be laughable if it wasn't so sad.

I've begun to prefer scifi written by women, because then at least I know its not going to be completely cringe.

The issue itself is nuanced, unfortunately the debate is not.

Transwomen who've only gone through female puberty (i.e. transitioned as minors or went on puberty blockers) are going to be physically on the same level as ciswomen.

Transwomen who've been through both puberties are going to be pretty close to the physical abilities of the average ciswomen after a few years on estrogen, though there are some permanent effects of testosterone that will remain, like build size.

Thats to say nothing of the fact that dividing sports along gender is somewhat arbitrary to begin with, while the average female athlete may be smaller and weaker than the average male athlete, there is still plenty of overlap, and it would really make more sense to divide sports along different criteria, like weight classes or some other more fair metric.

I clicked on their profile to see what evoked this reaction from you and not only could you not be more wrong, but it makes me question your motivation for lying to try to silence others?

Fwiw, you can use an ipl after epilating instead of shaving first, I've heard it's just as effective.

Tried epilation and ended up with really bad ingrown hairs, switched to IPL and so far I'm really impressed, I've done 5 sessions (at home) and am basically hair free.

If it's any consolation, there are hundreds of these towerhouses/castles scattered throughout Ireland, some are like this one, some are little more than a pile of rocks, but a fair number are restored to some degree.

Craggaunowen Castle and Knappogue Castle are restored and used regularly for re-enactments, both are a stones throw from this ruin.

I scrolled past, saw the text, and the reward circuits in my brain went "wait... thats spacetime's font!".

Crazy that this show has been going for 9 years. Video game tie-in's are fun, but it's just so much better now.

Watching the "does the universe create itself" video, shortly after playing The Outer Wilds just... broke me.

Literally mid-watch right now on the latest quantum gravity episode.

Cannot recommend this series enough if you have any science/physics interest

Here's what I run, this is all 100% local. The most time I spent on this project was actually on getting the wakeword recognition (which is another fairly new function in HA) setup on these old teleconferencing devices: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e2T1ibNw5GeIOUA1eqQbjwp1s2g5h5XN/view
