So sex in biology isn't usually identified via studying the chromosomes of an organism, since not even every species uses an XY Sex Determination system. It is generally determined via the primary and secondary sex characteristics exhibited by the organism. If the organism has female sex characteristics, they are "biologically female". Its get even murkier when discussing things like Klinefelter Syndrome, Swyer Syndrom, and de la Chapelle Syndrome.

There are people out there with XX Chromosomes that were born looking like men, have penises like men, sound like men, etc. And there are people out there with XY Chromosomes that were born looking like women. These people might not even be trans; it is just that genetics, biology, chromosomes and the like aren't so clear cut and easily put into two categories like "biologically male" and "biologically female".

The terms "biologically male" and "biologically female" tend to be phrases that exist within the realms of transphobes and the like to deny people's gender identities, and not anything used by scientists.

Yes, true. But at least I don't have to slather chemicals onto my skin to avoid the nuclear hellfire in the sky giving me cancer. I know cold ain't exactly like happy fun times. But I prefer it over heat absolutely.

In six months I'm gonna be so happy that the days are 6 hours long and everything will be gray, damp, and cool. Summers last like 6 months here and August is the hottest month. Will be wonderful to go outside without the sun trying to murder me.

More pointing out that there is a correlation with our modern diet and the rise of colon and rectal cancers in young people. UPFs are most likely not the sole issue but a contributor along with other things that are now in our food that weren't in the past.

My friend was just one of those that developed such a cancer and died from it young.

Cancer is a big risk

Had a friend of mine die on Thanksgiving last year in his early 30s from it. He was never obese in his life.

++ is the increment operator in C, which increases a value by 1. C++ was intended to be an improvement on C, and so it's saying that C++ is C incremented. C# is C++ ++ or C++ incremented. It's just a bunch of programmer jokes. There isn't a C+ afaik.

Youre right. Also the sides of the bed don't match up. The far side meets all the way at the bumper. The near side meets before the bumper and then continues on level with it before connecting.

Moon is tidally locked to the earth. So its day length is the same as it's orbit. That's 29.5 earth days which (using the logic you supplied) means that a lunar hour is approx 1.23 earth days.

It appears to be some sort of bromeliad. Many bromeliad species don't really have roots, but instead grow on top of rocks or other plants like trees. They get their water and nutrients from the atmosphere directly rather than from their roots. Some species even have leaf shapes that make like a bucket in the center to capture water to use. Anyways, they're cool plants. And some have absolutely beautiful flowers.

Feels like the cops should also be to blame for enabling this sort of stuff to continue. How do you swat a place that many times without putting it together? Article even mentions 4 times in one day. Like seriously?

Knowing how Evangelicals are, they'd claim that the dem presidents are Satan deceiving people or, like in the case of Obama, are potential Antichrists. They need Satan to be powerful enough to fear and they use anything they can to reinforce that.
