In Australia you can call your running shoes runners or joggers.

Same for me. I struggle to keep on top of the planning for mandatory stuff for my family because I work more than full time and my spouse works full time and it's just hard.

If work didn't organise shots at every office I wouldn't go out of my way to add to my mental load to get it organised for myself.

It could also be related to how your cervix changes over your cycle, but that baffles me because surely gynecologists would know that and try to time things correctly if it made things easier for women.

Do they time it based on your cycle at all?

Close to ovulation, your cervix goes really soft and opens up, close to your period it changes position, goes really firm and closes.

I haven't gotten an IUD so I have no personal experience with the process, but I imagine that trying to put an object through the cervix into the uterus would be best done at ovulation when your cervix is open. And probably extremely difficult and painful to try to do when your cervix is shut tight.

In this video about Lavender AI which is Israel's Palantir, they talk about the accuracy score that the AI gives targets for how sure it is that they are Hamas. It is used to determine how expensive the weapons to take that person out, and how many innocent bystanders they are willing to take out along with that target.

I think you're not comprehending the commenters point.

It's not saying that men and women have exactly the same desires and necessities. It's saying that framing sex as something that men do to women is problematic.

 

"There remains no disruption to any of our Canadian physical operations, including at Nova Scotia Power’s generation, transmission, and distribution facilities, the Maritime Link or the Brunswick Pipeline, and the incident has not impacted the utility’s ability to safely and reliably serve customers in Nova Scotia,”

Would you be able to tell me how to do this? I'm on mobile, I have admittedly only spent a few seconds searching but I can't see modlogs.

I don't think that's true. There's big power in what people demonstrably believe.

Knowing that everyone else is fighting back too is emboldening.

RFK must be very upset with Trump letting coal-fired power plants pump arsenic and mercury into the atmosphere unrestricted then

I agree, I would have thought Australia would have very high levels of swimming proficiency compared to other countries. The article doesn't seem to mention other countries, just the drop in participation/interest within Australia.

1 in 4 schools dropping swimming carnivals is really suprising to me. I've got 2 kids, and my oldest has been to quite a few schools due to us moving around a bit, and every single one of them had swimming lessons and carnivals.

Though I'm not suprised that parents are less interested or supportive. My husband and I both work full time, often both do overtime, and schools and daycare can be a little overwhelming at times with all of the events and things that require some level of extra thinking or planning or shopping or crafting on our part.
