Save it for the undergraduate sociology class. NASA picked the best candidates, end of. If there are no brown people there its because they weren't good enough whether that meets your ideological approval or not. There have been a number of black astronauts in the past so your claim of some conspiracy is just BS and if Trump had an issue with brown people he wouldn't have picked a VP with an Indian wife!

"As far as raw physical strength? LOL, who cares about that. We have long since moved past physical strength making any difference in our modern economy"

Says someone who's never worked on a farm. Machinery can't do everything.

" We have female soldiers"

Not frontline or special ops. There's a reason for that.

" I mean, how much do you think Elon or Gates can bench at their best? Yeah, no one cares."

In undeveloped rural economies it can be a big deal. But I wouldn't expect a brainwashed yank to understand.

Zero male involvement? Unless some amazing advance in genetics has occurred today I'm pretty sure sperm is still required for a woman to get pregnant whether it's on the spot or donated.

As for doing everything men can do , guess you've drunk the kool aid. Mentally sure, physically - nope. Not only are they considerably physically weaker in raw strength but their monthly cycles screw with what strength and endurance they do have.

I agree with what you say, similar issues with rain and water levels here in the UK though not quite as bad as it sounds over there. Ironically however looking at Ventusky right now it seems there's rain over half of west germany so hopefully that'll help.

Probably the air too in the med - not everyone goes swimming but everyone wants to go outside, not just sit in the hotel. If its 40C+ who's going to want to do that?

Will usually get you to the Linux console login from an X session screen locked or not (unless its been disabled in the X config). Obviously you need to know a login but even so, the lock is hardly bulletproof. No idea what wayland does, probably screen locking is another optional extra that needs to be implemented by the user or something.
