>Does a male have a higher sex drive?

Yes. Sex drive has a lot to do with T levels. Woman's sex drive is at her highest when her T is highest (ovulating).

>More likely to rape

Yes. Rape requires physicality. Most women are incapable of raping a man, without drugs or a gun.

All this to say, I'm not sure what the point of the subthread is.

Does anyone else have an inexplicable subconscious desire for the JWST to fail catastrophically? I've been a huge fan of the project for years, but after launch my mind was constantly plagued with these urges. I can't seem to explain or get rid of it. "Call of the void", maybe?

Anyone else with this problem? I'd really like to stop thinking these horrible thoughts.

Well I had a pretty bad second dose response. I was bedridden for a week. That said, my COVID infection was far worse and I'm still struggling with long COVID today.

I guess I'm going to have trouble taking a shot (active decision) I know I'll respond badly, albeit temporarily, to. As opposed to waiting around (passive decision) and trying my chances with COVID a second time.

Now that I'm writing this all out, I think I'll get my booster, maybe a fourth if I can weasel my way in.

mygoodaccount | 4 years ago | on: Alarmed by Tesla’s self-driving test, state legislators demand answers from DMV

Tesla doesn't publish data nor shares it with the NHTSA, so that's very difficult to do. The only """data""" we have are videos uploaded to YouTube by a select group of Tesla owners who have access to the beta. Even ignoring the bias in videos selected for upload by the beta testers, every single city driving clip I've seen has several illegal maneuvers and many more disengagements.

Slightly off topic, but it's fun to see company culture reflected in the algorithm behaviour.

There are thousands of clips of Tesla's Fatal Self Driving being far too aggressive for American roads (https://nitter.net/taylorogan/status/1469404579439824899).

Meanwhile, companies like AutoX have the problem of being far too conservative for Asian roads (https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=TFEvkmvIjVo). AutoX has some of the best edge case handling I've seen.

> People like you who think gun rights supercede everything else. It's ludicrous. Almost nobody needs a gun.

> But even so, your opinion is clearly colored by propaganda.

> "They're coming to take our guns" is a cry of right wing media because they know it will scare people into voting irrationally.

Generally speaking, this is a poor way to convince someone. Comments like this are likely to embolden the parent's views. I say this as someone who holds neutral views on the matter.

Consider for a moment you have actually proved his point.

High profile prizes will always be political. That said, Syukuro Manabe built the foundation for a lot of modern day computer-based climate simulation. I can't speak for the others but I'd say that's Nobel worthy.
