Muscular strength differs, sure. But except carrying more equipment how is that relevant? Most fighting today aren't based on muscle strength after all. Even when muscle strength _is_ involved technical superiority can often make a physically weaker person the winner.
In what way? If you define being male as having a set of chromosomes (XY) and being a female as another (XX) there are several variations that aren't male and/or female. Then if you extend the definition to cover the unusual cases (=intersex) you will begin to realize (I hope) that the situation is much more complex, XX males and XY females exist. The (non-transsexual) man or women you know and have seen naked may actually not fit into your binary view of the world. Hormonal levels, diseases and external factors of several types can vary how the sexual characteristics express themselves but that is enough material for another post. You can look it up if you want.
There are strong indications that transsexuals are people that have biologically and/or by early hormone exposure brain characteristics of the opposite gender, that is that the brain is wired as (or closely like) the opposite gender, so that the person have one sex but the rest of the body have another. Pretty simple, right?
A male that like to have his penis removed is likely to suffer some mental problem (not always - e.g. some sexual offenders have actually chosen to remove the sexual organs to reduce the the sexual drive to a minimum and make penile penetration impossible) but the general view is that MTF doesn't want to remove their penis - they want to change their body as close to how they want it to be. The removal of the tissue isn't the goal, just a consequence in achieving the real goal.

We know how oil is produced in nature, we know how long it takes, we know how much oil is consumed => it will run out using any practical definition. It will then be replenished by the same processes that produce the oil we use today, that doesn't change the fact it will at a point of time run out.
The UK politicians is more into all-controlling than the EU so I don't really know what you are thinking about?
Is it that UK politicians and state bureaucracy should have the freedom to remove freedoms from the people? Is so, yes exiting EU will provide more freedoms. But not for the people - the part of a society that I (and many others) consider the most important.
As the blurb says USB C cables* already support the extra data lane. It is however new for the USB specification to use that lane (wires) for _USB_data_.
(* not to be confused with a cable with a USB C connector at one end designed for power delivery only or USB 2/3 data only - if they exist at all, haven't seen one)
Not a strawman. He explicitly extends ("using[sic] that logic...") the paranoid thinking to a logical conclusion. That doesn't mean that you have to agree with that extreme form of paranoia or that he implies that you do.
Precisely. One can argue that the metrics used to produce the number are bad _but_ they aren't a lie - a lie would be measuring something else than what they claim to be measuring. As long as the numbers are produced in the way they are intended to they are correct even if they are completely useless.
The contributor seems to think there is only one way to calculate unemployment - this is obviously false. He also thinks economists are a homogeneous group all thinking this specific way to calculate is the right one - this is obviously wrong.
Ah yet another idiotic bullshitter! I guess one should be glad you don't post as an AC as it's easier to avoid your posts that way.
First you think that people making use of a processor feature isn't something the NSA is aware of (they aren't idiots unlike you), you then make the completely unfounded (il)logical leap that they care and that they can pressure the goverment to stop this? Why? Aren't you aware that the NSA works towards making encryption and secure systems available to the US public and corporations?!? Obviously not.
Then you add yet another idiotic leap of crap by hinting about terrorism not being stopped by _your_ absolutely baseless "speculation"... -- And all this idiotic crap you "create" because RF pollution being a real and increasing problem with people not knowing what they do (and how things work) fucking around with the RF setting. Locking down the RF controls is the easy solution. But the NSA doesn't care at all about the pollution problem - it's not theirs to handle.
I live in the real world - in realtime. I live as much as possible based on truth (even if I don't like always like it) via the successive approximation of scientific measurements. You should try it rather than listen to politicians.
LOL! I'm moderated troll when correcting someone and an AC with absolutely not argument is moderated as insightful.
Even adjusted for the measurable fact that women tend to be more educated than men for a certain job there is a real and measurable wage gap. Observe I use the word measurable twice - this isn't something I make up for some reason, this is something that have been measured. I don't provide links partially because the OP didn't, I don't to waste my time for a crowd that should be able to do some simple searching and most importantly because then those that don't like the facts will think I cherry-picked the links. Do search. Be informed. Reach informational nirvana.
[It's funny because it shows that people actually believe in magic - that if one denies measurable (and they have been measured by trustworthy entities repeatedly) reality will conform to their expectations and wants. That is a common psychological trait of people and something one should try to avoid. I suggest using active conscious feedback for this and similar things - kind of a scientific meditation on feelings and reactions in order to adjust to the real world and avoid natural but erroneous reasoning]
Personally I think the wage gap still existing in countries that tries to actively avoid it (e..g the Scandinavian ones) is due to networking effects - humans tend to clump together into groups with an internal ID and members of the groups that conform exactly are (often subconsciously) set aside. Gender is one such factor that do influence group interactions, people with different cultural behavior is another factor, skin color yet another. I'm not talking about racism or misogyny only about conscious and unconscious group dynamics.
I'd be agreeing with you if you were right. You aren't.
The fact is that women are paid less even if they have better education and experience than a man. They are also generally less promoted even when performing better at their work than the competition.
To be fair I've done that more than one time. I accept that I'm a human and humans do fuck up (well other animals do too but that isn't relevant). If someone* calls me an idiot maybe I was, maybe I have to explain my position/experience better or maybe it is just a throw-away insult.
(* that isn't Linus Torvalds, never seen it used as anything other than an insult - often for people simply having a difference in opinion)

Apparently stupidity travels faster than light...
Have you ever served in the military? You should take the word of someone that have instead of making things up from things you read.

Happy?

Otherwise you make no sense at all.
How about not making complex diagnosis of rare personality disorders online from a few lines of text?
I'd argue that being focused is more important than intelligence in most line of work. If one can't apply that intelligence it is mostly useless.
Because they want to further science? That's the main reason that people donate their bodies.
I assume the paper will mention this and other potential biases as anything other would indicate sloppy research.

3m = 9'. That's more than a few feet IMHO. Some cable vendors claim >=5m with a passive cable at USB 3+ speeds, that's 16'.
But aside from that I agree.
Not a strawman. He explicitly extends ("using[sic] that logic ...") the paranoid thinking to a logical conclusion. That doesn't mean that you have to agree with that extreme form of paranoia or that he implies that you do.
My experience is that in general anything complex computed into a single number produces something near useless.

Logic. Learn to use it.
Speculation without any basis in reality? How insightful...

Both the tax system and the social security system can be changed if people wanted to, we are talking about a democracy. How is your post relevant?

Really? No. Just no.
