@MrPitbull07 I hope that is ai, because there is no way any normal person is getting past that lintel standing up.

@surfNweatherGKG @austinburden9 @TahoeWeather Depends. How much do you enjoy hanging out at the base of the mountain?
English

@austinburden9 @TahoeWeather Thx for the intel - wind closures likely Saturday I see. When the wind closures happen- generally not really worth it to go?

@US50chains I appreciate the resources and effort you've put into this. Thank you @toxic

@treanor @liftblog @VampiricThe Pretty sure patrollers at my local have substantially more training and certs than lift ops. I really appreciate good lift ops but it's just not the same level of dynamic responsibility as patrol.
English

@liftblog @VampiricThe I guess you know then that J1 lift-ops do a satisfactory job. In my experience they are more likely to smile at guests and less likely to be engaged in chit-chat with fellow lift-ops. No reason to believe they also wouldn’t excel at injured skier mountain removal.

The biggest news in here: Vail says the union’s initial demands totaled $7 an hour in wage and benefit increases. By my math that would cost Vail around $1.1 million a year.

@JohnMul04744813 @TheProjectUnity I thought the Rocky Mountains would be rockier.

@TheProjectUnity I missed my exit once and drove 50 miles in the wrong direction before I noticed.

@ErikNervik @NevrWinsTheGame @1HyperionKnight @amandaknox You got this backwards my guy. If they're asking nicely they most likely do NOT have a warrant. Since we're being all cordial and whatnot I'm sure they'd be happy to show said warrant upon request.
English

@NevrWinsTheGame @1HyperionKnight @amandaknox If they come to knock on your door for a statement they probably already have a warrant and if you refuse to open the door they’ll beat it down and arrest your ass and leave your broken door house behind

@stamitomiarnos @sugarbowlresort Be for real. It's a $39 ticket for an early season opener. We all knew this was a likely scenario. Our crew had a blast.
English

@sugarbowlresort Hey @sugarbowlresort next time you decide to sell $39 lift passes maybe you can open more than one flippin’ chair?! Worst lift lines I’ve seen at Sugar in more than 30 years skiing here. So much for halting pass sales so it doesn’t get exceedingly busy!

@davidemccune @AJA_Cortes This is my program (mostly), but what and unilateral lifts? I'm doing mostly bar for strength.
English

@AJA_Cortes At 59:
Respect warm ups.
Respect your recovery
Work in unilateral/DB lifts in place of bar lifts.
(I still DL once per week, but that’s pretty much it for the bar.)
Protein
Creatine
Sleep
Regular zone 2
Sprinkle some zone 5
Still getting good results w this, even occasional PR

35-40 is when a lot of men get soft tissue injuries
achilles tear
hamstring tear
adductor tear
a slip and fall
Men will be delusional and think "they still got it" despite doing nothing athletic since their 20s
40-50 is when illness happens
3 years of bronchitis
pneumonia
maybe an anxiety attack if stress is high
someone you know will have an early heart attack
You get a physical (finally) and find out your bloodwork is trash and youre 29% bodyfat
Again, ALL of this avoidable.
If you go to the gym, eat right, healthy habits
But thats the minority.
majority of you are living to Die.

@KatTrimble @james_j_bailey @_Traviata That's really nice, but I wasn't expecting it to be black. I'm going to need $75 from you.
English

@james_j_bailey @_Traviata It's beautiful! Mine is the same size in a glossy black.

@brendankblong @yishan You’re going to get diminishing returns though, I expect the plants will stop growing somewhere before 0.

@USPatriotFather @2024fighter @emilykmay And yet it does happen. She's asking about a real thing that albeit rare does occur. The only hypothetical part is if it happens in your immediate family.

@PennYorick @SwipeWright @DoctorLockwood I don't think there are cases of people developing testes without a Y chromosome.
English

@SwipeWright @DoctorLockwood Is there anyone with a Y chromosome whose body produces large gametes? Or is it entirely unknown? How about people without a Y chromosome producing small gametes? Is there in fact a one-to-one correlation between chromosomes & gametes?
English

The terminology of whether some Olympic athlete is "cis" or "trans" is irrelevant, as these are ideological terms that refer to whether a person's "gender identity" (a pseudoscientific term) aligns or does not align with their "sex assigned at birth."
But "sex assigned at birth" is another ideological term that does not always reflect a persons actual sex. Some people are born with DSDs that may cause a doctor to mistakenly "assign" a newborn the wrong sex. Based on gender ideology, if these people grow up and "identify" as the sex that was incorrectly recorded on their birth certificates, they will be "cis."
Because gender ideology is completely detached from reality, the term "cis woman" does not necessarily mean "female."
So everyone saying that the male boxer currently beating up women in the Olympics is a "cis woman" needs to stop using these misleading ideological terms and actually focus on material reality.
The boxer is biologically male, and ideological word games do not change that fact.
English

@PennYorick @SwipeWright @DoctorLockwood There is a case of a person with 46,XY chromosomal mosaicism conceiving and giving birth to a child.
English

@tienzhou17 @Just_Yannis @LateefSaka Totally, her record does not support a claim of disproportionate advantage. It blew up because Carini bowed out, made a provocative statement plus the history with IBA and people's general unwillingness to engage a complex issue in good faith.
English

@MaxSlimmer @Just_Yannis @LateefSaka The focus of the discussion started because everybody though she was a man, and talking about just sports, her boxing record does not reflects the big differences we are discussing about, and let's be honest, this is happening because fake news.
English

I need someone to explain to me like I’m 5 years old.
It was confirmed that is she born a biological woman but testing showed elevated levels of testosterone. If we are saying elevated levels of testosterone makes you a biological man, does that mean ‘women’ who suffer from acne, PCOS, diabetes, alopecia and infertility linked to Hyperandrogenism makes them men? Or is this only in regard to Sporting events when the winning woman has this condition.
Velina Tchakarova@vtchakarova
Algeria‘s biological man Imane Khelif has beat Italy’s Angela Carini after only 45 sec in 66 kg boxing preliminaries at the #Olympics. What a disgrace! What about the rights of biological female athletes? Where are all the feminists when you need them?
English

@tienzhou17 @Just_Yannis @LateefSaka The IOC framework explicitly states that one criteria for eligibility should be the presence of disproportionate advantage. It does not specify how to measure this, leans toward individual case assessment rather than broad categories.
English

@Just_Yannis @LateefSaka We had never in our history banned people for having biological advantage, you think Usain Bolt was all training and effort? Taller players in the NBA? there's always gifted athletes, you wanna be an athlete, deal with that fact.
English

@CreekHellfire @aportalfound @maklelan The discourse around this topic has gotten so heated that it's almost impossible to engage. The right has highjacked it into a very effective wedge issue.
English

@MaxSlimmer @aportalfound @maklelan You’re right, that seems to be the case. At what point do we say that the conservative categorization of what a woman is has become too exclusionary to be of any real utility?
English

I look forward to seeing the rhetorical pretzels these weirdos tie themselves up into when they find out there are XY women who have conceived & given birth to healthy children.
