Seems to me like they were already aware when writing this Press Release, they mentioned the policy on DSD:

Athletes that are deemed to be male at birth, as evidenced by the presence of Y chromosome genetic material (the SRY gene) or with a difference of sexual development (DSD) where male androgenization occurs, will be eligible to compete in the male category.

Athletes that are deemed to be female at birth, as evidenced by the presence of XX chromosomes or the absence of Y chromosome genetic material (the SRY gene) or with a DSD where male androgenization does not occur, will be eligible to compete in the female category.

Since the others tackled polygraph's uselessness, I want to comment on another angle:

I think fundamentally in such a case it will be easy for you to convince yourself that you're telling the truth in the moment you say it.

After all you are telling the truth to a version of the question, and you only have an assumption that the questioner means a different version of the question. Even if it's a good assumption, nothing in particular makes your version worse, in fact you could argue it's better.

That combined should make it easy to mentally gloss over the contradiction. So I think your physiological reaction will be indistinguishable from telling the truth on control questions.

They went back on time though. I checked up on that at the time because I was expecting them to be fugitive afterwards.

Oh, my condolences. I used to have to rely on Powerline too.

She's an adult, she has the choice. She can step away like Prince Harry for example. As long as she remains crown princess, she's perpetuating royalty.

Luckily I live far away from them, so I haven't met any. But yeah maybe I'm still too optimistic because of it.

On the one hand I wish anything bad that's possible on anyone who's royalty. On the other hand this might shine a light on Trumps bullshit in a way that even his supporters might start questioning.

I use a 10Mb LAN connection to my Giagabit router

Is that a 10BASE-T connect over two pairs of twisted pair? But even then you'd naively expect Fast Ethernet 100 Mb/s at least. I'm curious what it's only 10, can you tell us?

In my experience that's usually the case for XG-PON and XGS-PON networks. Because you're sharing one port on the OLT with up to 63 neighbours. Though I think most build outs aim for 16 or 32 splits.

Anyway they don't want to risk you sending when it's not your turn or disturbing your neighbours connection in any other way, they make you use their ONU. Basically the same old story like with the coax cable modems. Just because some idiot (or rather industry group of idiots) had to go and turn fiber back into a shared medium to save on cable and ports a bit.

That sentence in the third picture: "... so that we can have the leader of our family back" 🤮

Where am I supposed to get a 10Gb modem for residential use?

There are a few routers that have SFP+ slots so you can modulate to any laser signal your provider might require.

  • FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro
  • Zyxel AX7501
  • TP-Link Deco BE85

Otherwise if you're looking for strictly only a modem there are various available. They are usually simply called fiber to ethernet converter. Startek, Delock, Trendnet, FS

If you meant a switch, well 10G switches are abundant. Zyxel, Netgear, TP-Link all the usual suspects.

While viewing and paying for pre-recorded content remains legal, the law targets live, commissioned interactions, which lawmakers argue blur legal and ethical lines.

Interesting distinction they are making there.
