I was thinking of the 'lube man' from Watchmen, but prominent boobs or external genitalia would still be a slight problem.

This doesn't matter as much as you think since, at least in the case of breasts and hips, the level of competition in the professional sports tends to be self-selecting to optimal anatomy. For instance, female swimmers and track athletes tend to have physiques similar to their male counterparts, because having large breasts or wide hips produce drag compared to having slim figures that tend to prevent them from qualifying for professional meets. Also, more in the case of professional swimmers, there's more of a reliance on upper body strength in that sport, so female swimmers tend to get built-up chests, shoulders, and arms that make them appear more masculine. Lia Thomas' physique wasn't all that much different from other female swimmers. Maybe she was taller than her competition, but height obviously didn't matter as much, since she only won 5th place.

As for external genitalia, there's always protective cups, which can apply to both male and female genitalia.

Remarks by President Biden at the Gridiron Club and Foundation Dinner (March 16, 2024) | The White House

www.whitehouse.gov - Sun, 17 Mar 2024 posted:

Grand Hyatt Washington
Washington, D.C.

(March 16, 2024)

10:32 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Applause.) Thank you, thank you. I think I should sit down. (Laughter.)

Good evening.

AUDIENCE: Good evening.

THE PRESIDENT: It�s great to be here at the Gridiron dinner, though it�s six hours past my bedtime. (Laughter.)

What I love about the Gridiron are the opportunities for young people, like Dan Balz and Al Hunt. (Laughter.) But it was tough to see Mitch McConnell announce he�s stepping down as GOP leader. I hate to see a friend give up in his prime. (Laughter.)

Look, it�s been a long night. So, I�ll keep my remarks just a few minutes less than my State of the Union. (Laughter.) Kamala will stand up 83 times, because even the press has to admit: I crushed it. (Laughter and applause.) Granted, your expectations were so low, I just had to show up and remember who the president is. (Laughter.) That�s the press, always underestimating me.

But Kamala and I and the members of the administration here tonight are proud � proud of our accomplishments on behalf of the American people: record job growth, wages rising, rigging the Super Bowl for Taylor Swift. (Laughter.)

There have been some bright spots in the media. I heard Wordle website is actually doing news now. You get that? (Laughter.) The New York Ti- � anyway � (laughter).

We know not everyone is feeling the progress we�re making. We�re committed to helping the little guy. Ron DeSantis, though, won�t take our calls. (Laughter and applause.)

Our big plan to cancel student debt doesn�t apply to everyone. Just yesterday, a defeated-looking man came up to me and said, �I�m being crushed by debt. I�m completely wiped out.� I said, �Sorry, Donald, I can�t help you.� (Laughter and applause.)

But we�re lucky to have great partners, including Governor Whitmer of Michigan. She did a great job tonight. (Applause.) Gretchen and I both joined the picket line of UAW workers.

A strong union can make a corporation quiver, at least that�s what Jeff Bezos has been telling me at dinner. (Laughter and applause.) Jeff is a big supporter of journalism. He�s the richest man in the world, and that�s even with owning The Washington Post. (Laughter.)

Believe it or not, Republican Governor Cox of Utah is a good friend. He also did a great job tonight � a really great job tonight. (Applause.) He�s smart, he�s civil, he�s willing to stand up to extremists � or, as we call that, he�s a good Democrat. (Laughter.) God bless you, man. I hope I don�t get you in too much trouble. (Laughter.)

I heard House Republicans were going to do a skit tonight, but they couldn�t get a speaker. (Laughter.)

And the biggest joke of the night: an impeachment inquiry. Imagine believing something so baseless that has a zero chance of succeeding. But Republicans would rather fail at impeachment than succeed at anything else. (Laughter.)

They want a secure border � bor- � border, but they block it. We had the strongest border bill ever that we�ve c- � come up with. They take credit for one of the biggest infrastructure laws, but voted against it. And I�m the one confused? (Laughter and applause.)

Hell, my good friend, the Taoiseach of Ireland, is here tonight to celebrate St. Patrick�s Day tomorrow. He took one look at Congress, and he asked for another Guinness. (Laughter.)

Of course, the big news this week is two candidates clinched their parties� nomination for president. One candidate is too old and mentally unfit to be president. The other is me. (Laughter and applause.)

Look, I�m running against the same guy that I beat in 2020. But don�t tell him. He thinks he�s running against Barack Obama. (Laughter.) That�s what he said.

And another big difference between us: I know what I value most. I�m Jill Biden�s husband, and I know her name. (Laughter and applause.)

In the coming months, Kamala and I will be making the case how Americans are better off than four years ago, how we got so much through the pandemic, turned around the economy, reestablished America�s leadership in the world. All without encouraging the American people to inject bleach. (Laughter.) All without destroying the economy, embarrassing us around the world, or � or itching for insurrection.

Look, I wish these were jokes, but they�re not. As I said in my State of the Union Address, we live in an unprecedented moment in democracy, an unpre- � and an unprecedented moment for history. Democracy and freedom are literally under attack.

Putin is on the march in Europe. My predecessor bows down to him and says to him, �Do whatever the hell you want.� A former American president actually said that.

Joining us tonight is the prime minister of Estonia and the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States. I say � (applause) � I say to Putin and told him in person we will not � we will not bow down. They will not bow down, and I will not bow down. Period. (Applause.)

Here at home, our basic freedom is under assault � the freedom to vote, the freedom to choose, and so much more.

The lies about the 2020 election, the plots to overturn it, to embrace the January 6th insurrectionists pose the gravest threat to our democracy since the American Civil War.

In 2020, they failed. But you all know the threat remains, a poison cours- � coursing through the veins of our democracy. Disinformation everywhere. There�s a toxic cycle of anger and conspiracy. Massive � massive changes in the media industry, with pursue, with pursue, with pursue. Pursuing what? Pursuing heat and pursuing � instead of light.

All the while, the other guy calls you the free press. Well, he calls you the enemy of the people, even as many of you risk your lives to do your job and sometimes even give your lives to do your jobs.

I made clear we�re doing everything we can to bring Evan and Austin home and all Americans wrongly detained around the world. (Applause.) And we�ll not give up.

Folks, every single one of us has a role to play in making sure American democracy endures. This year, you, the free press, have a bigger role than ever.

Let me state the obvious. You�re not the enemy of the people. You are a pillar of any free society. And I may not always agree with your coverage or admire it, but I do admire your courage.

Good journalism holds a mirror up to a country for us to reflect the good, the bad, the truth about who we are.

This is not hyperbole: We need you. We need you. Democracy is at risk, and the American people need to know. In fractured times, they need a context and a perspective. They need substance to match the enormity of the task.

As a result, the choices you make really matter. And each story you make makes democracy stronger.

I know it�s possible because I know the American story. We�re a great nation. We�re good people, defined by core values of honesty, decency, dignity, light over darkness, courage over fear, and truth over lies.

These are also the bedrock principles of good journalism.

So, tonight, I�d like to toast the free press and toast to the American people and the enduring causes of democracy and freedom.

May God bless you all. And may God protect our troops.

Thank you. (Applause.)

Additionally, the new definition for "high-speed" internet is now 100 mbps download speed. The previous definition was 25 mbps. Companies can no longer advertise "high-speed" internet if their speeds are lower than 100 mbps. Additionally, ISPs are now ineligible for any government grants or programs for providing high-speed internet unless they provide a minimum of 100 mbps download speeds to all of their customers.

This is a huge thing around where I live, where there still isn't full access to land line internet. All the ISPs were lobbying Mark Meadows to get the definition of High Speed internet down to something really lovely so they could get government subsidies to tie a string between houses or whatever. Madison Cawthorn was taking over this initiative before he decided his time in congress was best spent blasting lines and humping his best friend.

I'm sure I don't need to tell most of the people on SA this but the modern internet is barely usable with low speed internet.

yeah thats alot of it. most serial killers go after the "less then dead"(minorities, sex workers, women of all types, usually poorer" etc) the ones that get caught are the ones that hit the manic phase and just start doing awful stuff outside the demo. that being sometimes. the one jack olsen books which talks about keith jesperson or whatever his name was talks about that. he only got caught because he murdered an ex that he was seen with alot. his first victim had been pinned on a couple because the gf/wife wanted the pigs to bust the husband for beating her so she said he killed the woman and it spun into a horror show where both got pinched and etc.

That case also had me believe that some of these "unsolved" cases were law enforcement or family of law enforcement and won't investigate further for fear of embarrassment.

Also, as bad as police are now hearing how some officers handled girls going missing in the 70s and 80s is awful. Sure, that 14 year old went to hang out with her 35 year old boyfriend and you definitely shouldn't do anything about that.

I am always kinda curious if the joan bennet case will ever get solved. i doubt it. having read a bunch of stuff on the case, I lean toward the family killing her but who knows.

Joint Statement on Efforts to Counter the Proliferation and Misuse of Commercial Spyware | The White House

www.whitehouse.gov - Mon, 18 Mar 2024 posted:

At the third Summit for Democracy on March 18, 2024, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Poland, and Republic of Korea joined this first-of-its-kind international commitment to work collectively to counter the proliferation and misuse of commercial spyware. This joint statement, which was originally announced at the second Summit for Democracy on March 30, 2023, has been updated to reflect these additional countries.

We, the governments of Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Ireland, Republic of Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, recognize the threat posed by the misuse of commercial spyware and the need for strict domestic and international controls on the proliferation and use of such technology.�

Commercial spyware has been misused across the world by authoritarian regimes and in democracies.� Too often, such powerful and invasive tools have been used to target and intimidate perceived opponents and facilitate efforts to curb dissent; limit freedoms of expression, peaceful assembly, or association; enable human rights violations and abuses or suppression of civil liberties; or track or target individuals without proper legal authorization, safeguards, or oversight.� The misuse of these tools presents significant and growing risks to our national security, including to the safety and security of our government personnel, information, and information systems.

We therefore share a fundamental national security and foreign policy interest in countering and preventing the proliferation of commercial spyware that has been or risks being misused for such purposes, in light of our core interests in protecting individuals and organizations at risk around the world; defending activists, dissidents, and journalists against threats to their freedom and dignity; promoting respect for human rights; and upholding democratic principles and the rule of law.� We are committed, where applicable and subject to national legal frameworks, to implementing the Guiding Principles on Government Use of Surveillance Technologies and the Code of Conduct developed within the Export Controls and Human Rights Initiative.�

To advance these interests, we are partnering to counter the misuse of commercial spyware and commit to:

working within our respective systems to establish robust guardrails and procedures to ensure that any commercial spyware use by our governments is consistent with respect for universal human rights, the rule of law, and civil rights and civil liberties;

preventing the export of software, technology, and equipment to end-users who are likely to use them for malicious cyber activity, including unauthorized intrusion into information systems, in accordance with our respective legal, regulatory, and policy approaches and appropriate existing export control regimes;

robust information sharing on commercial spyware proliferation and misuse, including to better identify and track these tools; ��

working closely with industry partners and civil society groups to inform our approach, help raise awareness, and set appropriate standards, while also continuing to support innovation; and��

engaging additional partner governments around the world, as well as other appropriate stakeholders, to better align our policies and export control authorities to mitigate collectively the misuse of commercial spyware and drive reform in this industry, including by encouraging industry and investment firms to follow the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.�

Our efforts will allow us to work collectively for the first time as we develop and implement policies to discourage the misuse of commercial spyware and encourage the development and implementation of responsible use principles that are consistent with respect for universal human rights, the rule of law, and civil rights and civil liberties.

Like I don't think the Zodiac case is going to ever get solved at this point. All of the potential suspects are now dead I believe, and I'm not sure if there is any surviving DNA evidence from the crime scenes.

Yeah. Mostly serial killers just have whatever quality of lack of restraint or inhibition to just dare to do these extreme things. Sometimes the difficulty people have believing someone would actually do such things works in their favor and often it is just laziness and incompetence. Dahmer just killed a bunch of people more or less in plain sight in a tiny apartment, and the Long Island guy left so many digital and other trails to himself he should have been caught years earlier if not for the utter incompetence and corruption of the Long Island PD leadership during that time.
