But according to Trump the president doesn't have to actually obey the constitution. That's partially what the Supreme Court is deciding on.

Protein expression falls under biochemistry, and you need to grow cells for that.

Don't forget putting your samples in the incubator and waiting overnight for cells to grow.

The provincial conservatives where I live are trying their best to destroy that universal healthcare. It's rather infuriating.

Yet every time astrology is tested it has failed.

Evolution is basically a scientific certainty at this point because every single test has shown it to be true, and no one has every been able to disprove it. We don;t understand every single nuance and mechanism of evolution, but the fact evolution is occurring and has occurred in the past is a certainty.

Gravity is a certainty at this point. Again we don't fully understand the exact causes of gravity, but the fact it exists is certain.

And every test to try and show any validity to astrology has failed, astrology is nothing but a scam.

Man, you do not understand science.

I'm a research chemist, and have been in the sciences for the last 15 years.

And science can test the hypothesis that astrology is accurate in various ways, and has shown time and time again that astrology is no better than random chance in its accuracy.

People have been trying to prove evolution is wrong since it was first posited, yet all evidence just further demonstrates it is the correct explanation for life.

Models aren't wrong by definition. Incomplete perhaps, but if a theory is able to accurately predict the world around us then it is still a good theory. Our theory of gravity can let us calculate the exact position of stellar bodies for millennia ahead, and has been consistently shown to be accurate.

Yes, you tested a conman to see if you would not fall for a con, and you fell for it. Congrats. It's called the Barnum effect.

When actually put to the test astrology fails:

No, that's all astrology is. Whenever it's been put to the test it has been found to have no supernatural or real predictive power. Just vague statements, and reader bias.

Nope, astrologers are masters at making vague answers sound specific. But they are still vague and interpretable in multiple ways, even in your proper chart.

Astrology is only accurate in that everything it says is vague and easily interpretable in multiple ways.

A teacher did an experiment where he handed his class custom astrology reports based on their birthdate, and asked them to rate how well they fit each of them. Everyone gave it a high rating, and said it was very accurate. He had them pass the paper to a different student, and everyone laughed because everyone got the exact same astrology report.

And many women find being referred to as boi to be incredibly insulting. Especially if they are more androgynous, and it's often used as an insult against them.

And when the model is specifically modelling for the women's section of a store, is is pretty safe to assume gender. It is highly unlikely someone would model for a gender they aren't.

She's modelling for the women's section of the Prada website, so it's reasonably safe to assume she is a woman.
