@J_Muzamil26 @suksesberatttt The decline is less traffic, which is especially important for trucks carrying larger loads.

@suksesberatttt I'm laughing but I also don't know why not

Bro made the mistake of asking the internet😂😭😭

@mcuban "And the concept of “every other country does it “ ignores the fact that they all converted decades and decades ago" is not a good argument. It just emphasizes how far behind we are and tacitly accept it.

Let me help rephrase for you Bernie. Need a loan for college so you can party for a semester and drop out? Taxpayers will loan you money for it. Need an SBA loan for your business ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. For a house ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. And local gov will give you money for your first down payment ! Get sick or are in an accident and you can’t afford your deductible, insurance company denied prescribed care or are uninsured ? You are on your own 😤 Let me add Bernie, the one debt not a single one of us will ever pay off till the day we die ? Our health insurance premiums And before you go in and on about single payer, ask @claudeai to take a look at your proposed Single Payer legislation. You want the Sec of HHS to run it. You can’t have a political appointee run an apolitical position And you expect every provider and doctor to accept whatever rate is set by Medicare. Big hospitals don’t know their costs. They couldn’t do a BOM for any procedure. They have negligible transparency. If they don’t know their costs, and you don’t know their costs, how is it possible for taxpayers, caregivers and patients to get a fair deal ? And the concept of “every other country does it “ ignores the fact that they all converted decades and decades ago, long before you and your peers allowed the extreme vertical integration we face now. Which leads to the question. @BernieSanders , why have you not advocated for the Break Up Big Medicine Bill ?

@KirstiMiller30 Hi, thank you for the study. I understand you co-authored this. Where is that noted in the study? It's not out of disbelief, but to improve my own media literacy of finding co authors for studies.

Effects of gender affirming hormone therapy on exercise performance in transgender athletes Joanna Harper Loughborough University, 2024 The study of the athletic performance of transgender individuals is a novel endeavour. This thesis begins with a systematic review of the changes induced in non-athletic trans women with gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and how these changes may affect athletic performance. t.co/q10bomI5jk The study of the athletic performance of transgender individuals is a novel endeavour. This thesis begins with a systematic review of the changes induced in non-athletic trans women with gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and how these changes may affect athletic performance. The 3 experimental studies in this thesis use different approaches to quantify the changes in transgender athletic performance with GAHT. A longitudinal case study was undertaken to determine the effect of GAHT on the performance of an international level trans woman cyclist (chapter 3). The cyclist demonstrated an ~15% loss of aerobic capacity with 3 months of GAHT and stable aerobic capacity for the following 9 months of GAHT. This cyclist subsequently demonstrated a 19-33% and 15-30% loss of lower and upper body strength respectively with 18 months of GAHT. A retrospective and prospective survey-based study of the performance of trans athletes pre- and 12-86 months post-GAHT in the sports of athletics, powerlifting and swimming was undertaken (chapter 4). In this study, 9 trans women athletes reported that GAHT was associated with female-typical values of testosterone, oestrogen, haemoglobin, and haematocrit. In the same study, 9 transgender women sprinters, middle- and long-distance runners reported a 15% increase in performance times with 5-86 months of GAHT: the increase was 11, 15 and 18% for the sprinters, middle- and long-distance runners respectively. The collective age-grade scores (AGs; male scores pre-GAHT and female scores post-GAHT) of the 9 runners did not change (p=0.304) with GAHT. There was no significant difference between the pre- and post-GAHT training-adjusted AGs for the sprints [95% CI of (-3.0,4.8)], the middle-distance races [95% CI of (-3.7,0.9)], or the long-distance races [95% CI of (-3.1,1.5)]. A single trans man powerlifter reported a linear (r2>0.81, p0.18). The absolute V̇O2peak of the trans women (3.19 L·min-1) was not quite significantly higher (p=0.057) than the absolute V̇O2peak of the cis women (2.83 L·min-1), however the effect size was large (d=0.84). The three studies suggest that athletic transgender women may lose more strength with GAHT than non-athletic transgender women but may still maintain a sizable absolute (but not relative) strength advantage over athletic c1s women; that athletic transgender women may have little to no remaining post-GAHT advantage over athletic cisgender women in aerobic capacity; and that athletic trans men may have the capability for substantial strength gains with GAHT. These findings have implications for transgender inclusion policies depending upon the demands of the sport.

@aalex2 @tragedynat @StatBoy_Steven @JimBiringer You make the claim. You cite the source.

@tragedynat @StatBoy_Steven @JimBiringer No, look it up.

Ok I will bite. Didn’t want to engage in this but… Been chatting with @StatBoy_Steven about this and the IOC owns the puck. It is their property. It isnt Jack Hughes’s or Megan Keller’s puck to keep. The NHL makes it is easier for players to get their artifacts unlike the IOC or IIHF. Remember those artifacts are on loan/donated from the IOC and IIHF to be in the HHOF. Ask Mika Zibanejad where his 1st Olympic Goal puck is. Not with him. And confirmed today by the HHOF
