  1. I do. Molecular Genetics, to be precise. Coauthor of a paper in Science and 2 books on transgenics. Nope. 40+ years of teaching and medical research at a major uni. This stuff is all in my head. So infertile humans cannot be female? Stop bringing your lame-o laymen's dictionary into a discussion on science. Guess you missed a few lectures. Or haven't followed anything in bio since the '60s. Leave the science to the actual scientists. I'm not saying your ignorance on this is your fault. Seriously though- a great resource that could help bring you up to speed is at this link for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. There are case studies and guided worksheets for both High School and AP level biology. A lot has changed since you took those courses. https://media.hhmi.org/biointeractive/click/testing-athletes/introduction.html
  2. So, my new Black Widow stopped charging after 27 days. Their tech support is useless. Motherfletchers
  3. I see now the basis for your foolish statements. You have, at best, a 9th grade level of understanding of biology. Most average high school students would know you are wrong, and any 18-year old who has passed a course in A-level Cambridge biology would rip your arguments to shreds. Get some facts in your head before you let your mouth loose again. A CYP21A2 deletion or mutation, which causes congenital adrenal hyperplasia in an XX human results in a female with male secondary sexual characteristics. Also, the mere presence of a Y-chromosome does NOT insure a male gender. From what I remember, there are at least 3 conditions under which XY humans are classed at birth as females. The argument for excluding trans-females is that the increased musculature and endurance bestowed by TESTOSTERONE makes it unfair to cis-females. Yet some females have testosterone levels as high as males. Hence, saying trans-females should be excluded ON THAT BASIS does not hold water unless you also exclude those females with a high titer of testosterone. Do you have another basis for your beliefs or are you just transphobic?
  4. Not contributing to the discussion. Try answering the question. "So should women with testosterone levels higher than males be banned from women's sports?? CG1 Blue, DarksideDude, Jaybott, HotChili??"
  5. That's only for radioisotopes of iodine, because iodine is concentrated in the thyroid during production of thyroxin. Give a massive dose of non-radioactive iodine and it outcompetes the bad stuff. Iodine doesn't compete with cesium for anything, so it has no effect on Cs uptake in humans. Cs is more or less evenly distributed around the body.
  6. Simple? Are these males or females?? One is hypothetical, the other is an actual athlete IRL. A. B. You can edumacate yourself if necessary at https://media.hhmi.org/biointeractive/click/testing-athletes/introduction.html. Lotta simply uninformed, ignorant statements in this thread.
  7. So should women with testosterone levels higher than males be banned from women's sports?? CG1 Blue, DarksideDude, Jaybott, HotChili??
  8. Here's a question: If testosterone levels are your defining characteristic, why are transgender athletes tested, with a maximun allowable testosterone titer, yet cisgender female athletes are NOT tested for endogenous testosterone (which can easily exceed levels found in cisgender males)?
  9. Try your luck. Are these males or females? Should be interesting to see how the know-it-all, "dick = male" brigades blow this. A. B.
  10. You are no longer in the gravy train line, so loss of the major reason for becoming a cop.
  11. He probably has a history of injecting marijuana.
  12. Now you want to make our light radioactive?? /J ???? ____________________ But seriously... as a former radiation safety officer at a major uni (we had our own mini-reactor), I have soooo many questions about this whole thing.
  13. I don't really understand what "processing" means in this case. Were they caught on-the-spot making extracts/oils/etc? Grinding buds? Rolling herb? Vague? I guess it's sort of the point. Keep it vague, arrest people on nebulous grounds
  14. Nice dreamy potency, Overall 9/10, flavor 7-8/10 on the 5 different cultivars I grew. I currently have several clones of the best (to me) phenotype.
  15. Those girls look healthy!
  16. THCA spontaneously, partially, and SLOWLY decarboxylates (BTW- not "decarbonates" - totally different chemistry. CO2 vs COOH) on exposure to light, room temp, and long-term storage. THCA also binds VERY WEAKLY to CB1R and CB2R. Yes, you might feel something by eating raw material - you lightweights! ???? As Yoda says, the placebo effect is strong in this one. Try these articles. If you can't read these, you have no business commenting on cannabinoid chemistry. Takeaway message: MINOR binding of THCA-A to receptors, with MINOR effects. THCA is stored in fatty tissues and takes MONTHS to build up to appreciable levels. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5510775/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-77175-y
  17. He is probably referring to the fact that THCA has no psychotropic or other effects that stimulate the endocannabinoid system. THCA + heat/time --> THC.
  18. Thai Vape Shop Google them 2-3 day delivery from Chiang Mai. The Black Widow is a nice unit.
  19. Chuwit has a huge bag of spanners ready to be dropped into any offending machinery
  20. 7,000 participants from all 30 countries. 6,000 of those are from the US alone.
  21. I caught Dengue shortly before my return to the States a couple decades ago. Hit me full-on after I arrived home. Hospitalized for 5 days, in isolation. Docs never figured out what it was. Finally confirmed after blood was sent to the CDC. Part of the problem was I was so delirious the docs couldn't figure out where I had been. My fever was so high I was a raving lunatic (Maybe still be. Hard to tell sometimes ????)!
  22. Call it what it is- raw sewage, human waste, fecal contamination.
  23. At her age, her ignorance can be forgiven
