So I've check and 'likely' can be defined as "Within the realm of credibility; plausible."/" Possessing or displaying the qualities or characteristics that make something probable." which I would say makes 10% likely but also as "having a high probability of occurring or being true : very probable" which would make 10% unlikely. Depends on which dictionary you check :)

Not in US. In US gun owners are never responsible for what happens with their guns. It can be the kid's fault, the dog's fault or even fault of the gun itself but it's never the gun owner's fault.

Interesting. I would say that if it's unlikely then the risk is small. I would also say 10% is pretty likely. For drugs 1-10% chance of a side effect means it's a common side effect.

You're technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Imagine you're going to have a surgery and the doctor tells you there's 10% chance it will go wrong and you will lose your dick. What would you say about your chances?

I have an app on F-Droid. Nothing special, basically something I wrote for myself. I was thinking about putting it on Play Store so I can share it with friends that don't use F-Droid but with those new requirement I'm 100% not doing that. Fuck Google.

No, they should get rid of men/women split and divide people into tiers. Each athlete would be assigned to tier based on his performance and we would have gold, silver and bronze medals in each tier. We would then say "Phelps won a Tier A gold medal in the Olympics" or "Williams won Tier D gold medal". This way it would be 100% fair and non-discriminatory.

I'm not sure but I will comment anyway.

I believe each sport's federation has rules they decide themselves and those are normally used but sometimes the Olympic Committee will ban a federation because of corruption or some mismanagement and take over organization of those specific events. They did it with boxing in the previous Olympics for example. When they do it they have to decide which rules will apply and looks like now they decided the default rules for all sports that fall under their jurisdiction. Last time with boxing they decided to use the same rules that were used 4 years earlier which meant some previously banned athletes where allowed to compete and a lot of participants complained.
