I donβt think its a bad thing tbh as long as it is in the fediverse. Think of it as email. Google, Microsoft and many others are in the game but email stays the same
If the app wasnβt so trashy people would be happy to pay them money directly. Nearly everyone on Apollo pays to use it
It is doing very well indeed! Why kill it?!
Correct. The bowler is contributing to the velocity part of the equation
- his mass is 33% more and the ball goes 23% faster? Momentum is mass x velocity iirc.
Do you understand why this statement is wrong?
Youβre mixing the mass of the person throwing the ball with the mass of the ball.
- his mass is 33% more
This would matter if he was flying himself at the batsman.
Yes dear friend, momentum is indeed mass x velocity. But weβre not talking about the speed at which the bowler runs. Itβs the speed at which the bowl is propelled.
(to be clear, the lower mass of cricket ball in womenβs cricket is a factor in reducing momentum. But weβre talking purely speed here)
Some women cricketers (outside Pakistan) earn more than Pakistani male cricketers already. And I must say, Iβm a huge supporter. Unlike the WNBA in the US, womenβs cricket is way more popular in rest of the world.
Itβs a biological factor that women, generally, arenβt as physically strong as men and as a supporter of female athletes, abolishing gender boundaries is practically killing womenβs sports. Hereβs some more data you couldβve found out by googling: https://boysvswomen.com/#/
I only pointed out the difference between the fastest. Thereβs plenty of shorter, leaner bowlers in menβs cricket who bowl faster than Perry. Kemar Roach for instance is in the same height and weight category as Perry and regularly bowls 150kph
Tbf itβs expected. You know women going below 16-18% body fat is completely unhealthy while top male athletes are perfectly healthy at 6% or so
Edit: wtf mate? Momentum is not mass of propeller times velocity. By your logic a sumo wrestler would easily be the fastest cricket bowler!
And imgur charges Apollo's dev $166 for the same amount of load reddit asked $20m for
Okay.
Ellyse Perry, the fastest bowler in women's cricket is 176cm at 60kg (amazing athlete, represented Australia at both Cricket and Football world cups!). Her fastest ball was 130.1kph
Shoaib Akthar, the fastst bowler in men's cricket is 180cm at 80kg. His fastest was 161kph
Laws of cricket dictate that women should use a ball that is between 415β16 and 55β16 ounces (139.98 and 150.61 grams); which could be up to 13β16 ounces (23.03 grams) lighter than the ball used by the men.
Also made me think, the whole height-weight distinction will only work in purely physical sports like boxing (maybe even some american sports like baseball and nfl). It is not going to work in global sports like Cricket and Football. Think about the greatest footballers of our generation. Cristiano was 183cm (6ft) and Messi 169cm (5ft 6in).
Yes. This reminds me of my early days in reddit! I was so confused on their Android app and eventually found an app called Slide and yet it took me a week or so to figure out what I was doing there. Then some months to actually start contributing
Yes. I did try Mastodon during the Twitter fiasco. But the whole fediverse concept seems a little more suited for specific forums like Reddit
How do I subscribe to those? Manually copy paste and edit link?
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of cell. I donβt think this should have been that hard to find on your own, but I canβt judge your circumstances. (You see, I can respond to things you did not ask as well!)
Consider two 5β6" 65kg athletes, one man and one woman, are you saying that the man doesnβt have an advantage?
How is your comment a response to my question? I was replying to your comment of
abolish[ing] gender based separation altogether and replac[ing] it with something more like weight categories.
which practically means stopping women from participating in sports
Hi I'd like to chat. I'm open to evidence that will change my mind
I get you. But I've seen far too many users doing exactly this (starting their own mail server) in my programming circles. It doesn't fare well tbh.
Poe's law mate. Without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
I think WikiPedia used to do IP bans. I rarely contribute to WikiPedia and never on controversial topics. Still I randomly receive a mail saying I've been banned for doing some shady stuff
This comment is well researched and helpful! Thank you

I used to believe the same until I saw the recent Women's Premier League in Cricket. They had to reduce the size of field and the weight of ball. Even with that, the fastest bowl in the tournament was 130kmph while that speed is considered a "slower ball" in men's cricket.
Now some of these female cricketers earm more than any Pakistani male cricketers. Which is fair, bigger market, bigger payout. But female cricketers don't stand a chance against the male cricketers
England vs New Zealand is slotted as the tournament opener on October 5 and India vs Australia as the hosts' opening game
