  • Yeah, the basement is going to be colder…

    You can circulate the air if you want to balance it out, but the basement is going to get colder again.

    If you’re talking about saving energy:

    At about 3pm circulate the air. That’s a little before your AC is going to start experiencing it’s highest workload.

    At around 6pm or when ever, stop.

    Try it for a couple of days with just a fan. If it’s a noticeable difference and you like it, you can get a vent installed that pushes up from the basement, and another somewhere else that just goes straight to the basement. You can put the fan/blower on a timer. I’d recommend one of those “smart plug” things, they work as a timer and you can also controll locally from your phone.

    But if you’re circulating air 24/7, it’s just making your AC cool even more air.

    So you just want to use it to dump a bunch of cold air when you need it most, and then let it naturally cool down the rest of the nigh/day.

    Whether or not this adds up to more than negligible benefits for energy use…

    I have zero idea.

    But it’s essentially just an inefficient heat pump. The theory behind it is sound.








  • assuming

    A whole bunch of shit while ignoring all the contex…

    I’m talking about 18-22 year olds and the women are on the women’s rugby team comparing them to men who have never needed to shave and their voice hasn’t cracked.

    If you think every 18-22 year old guys has been thru puberty…

    That’s as ridiculous as not understanding that hight T women would be attracted to high level athletics and then overly represented in elite athletes.

    What you are doing is the equivalent of someone who stops paying attention to science in sixth grade but believes they’re an expert at 47.

    You got the cliff notes version and think people should address you as Doctor.

    Shits a lot more complicated than you think.



  • On average, but there’s outliers.

    Like, there are women out there with higher testorone than the average man, and crazy is a huge factor.

    I played rugby in college and we hung out with the women’s team and drunk coed wrestling was definitely a common thing.

    Every once and a while a non rugby player would think it was just an excuse to roll around with a hot chick, and they would get absolutely demolished. Like I’m not talking about underestimating the woman and losing quickly due to technical skill. Just getting absolutely manhandled by a girl without the socially ingrained fear of violence and pain. Like, I was one of the biggest guys on the men’s team and had wrestling experience, I still lost to some of them. Women almost a foot shorter and that I had more than 50 pounds on. Because they really wanted that W and kept trying till they got it.

    Hell, for two years we had coed practice including full speed tackling and scrimmages. Top end speed was usually the only clear difference, and even then the fastest five players on the field was never all guys.



  • Testosterone is literally a PED.

    Its why trans women can compete at a decent level, they’ll still rarely be at the absolute top of their sport.

    They have to have their testosterone and other hormones monitored and held to average levels. That will always put them at a disadvantage at elite levels versus women who don’t have the same requirement.

    There is still the inherent biological advantage in being born male and going through male puberty and developing a male muscular/skeletal system before transitioning

    Which is completely solved by access to puberty blockers before transitioning.

    I did see some article claim that hip to knee ratio didn’t translate to athletic performance, and it was so ridiculous I even downloaded the linked PDF that said it was a study, and it was just a pamphlet repeating the exact same claim with no further source.

    I mean, there’s a clear correlation already with women’s sports already. Lots of runners peak early and have worse times by graduating highschool. But it’s literally physics. Wider hips just means less efficient running.

    Yeah, dude tried to open his own personal Netflix and is surprised it got taken down.

    From post history he managed to keep it up for less than a month.

    I’m betting by “friends” he meant either online friends he’s never met, or people he wanted to impress.

    So they gave zero fucks and handed it out to more people. Like, just the idea that you’re giving it to so many people that you actually buy a domain?

    There’s a reason everyone isn’t already doing it already.
