Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.
Lmfao what? "It's not different because I say it isn't" just take the L here bud, the details of your compairson don't hold up. It's also highly relevant since it directly contradicts the incorrect assertions of the meme. The UK royals have no authority to govern or make policy. That's going to be a really hard fact to get past, no matter how devastating to your argument it might be.
'Scept the monarchy thing is purely cringe nationalism; the british royalty have no power to actually govern - influence perhaps, but a shockingly small amount, and no authority to back it up. The other image is of the same kind of monarchy-esque celebration but for the leader of the government. That's why it's bad, it's a monarchy-esque display but for someone who actually has a huge amount of power.
Nobody talks about the monarchy being a celebration of "dear leader" because it fundementally isn't, the royal family aren't leaders.
Nope, nope, take it all back we're totally wrong - it's a true funicular, the cars just get electrical supply via overhead cable
Yeah that's the cable I was talking about, I didn't think it was visible in the image but realized you can see it on the second track.
You're right, though! This is a true funicular (a few people are saying it can drive single cars but operates primarily in couterbalance which I would kill to get to poke around the mechanical room to see how that works)
What's in the image is (catenary) cable but funiculars use a counterbalanced mechanical cable system
edit: oh, do you mean the cable laid in the tracks? That's the cable hoist - but the cars aren't counterbalanced so it's not a funicular, it's just a cable-car. A meaninglessly pedantic distinction in the real world *but in this house we commit to the bitnope I was hoisted by my own pedanticard on this one, it's a true funicular just in an arrangement I've never seen before.You might just be good at identifying artistic styles - It is in japan. I think it's only prejudiced if you think it's somehow a negative thing for it to be japanese?
Good grief you're still here downvoting? You really just can't let this go?
Hell, you're downvoting comments where I list the 'web searches' I did, and my sources, and my reasoning... This kinda feels like maybe you're just not willing to accept that this is a complex situation?
(edit: lmfao, called it)
It's not a thing. Or, like, this theory ("black hole cosmology") has been around for ages, it's not broadly accepted and I can find no evidence of NASA publishing anything explicitly in support of it. The pop-sci articles are all linking back to this study which decidedly does not make the conclusion the universe might be inside a black hole.

If you are pregnant it can wildly affect your lab results, too.
Poor neurotypical bastard...
Yeah, they're a regular boring cat-shaped urban inclined railway. Side view here makes it pretty clear:
I use Maize btw

And aside from the concern about a fetus, it can mess (very dramatically) with your lab results.
She did get support though, just the wrong group. Gendered services aren't really the issue here, that aspect seems like it worked fine except that she was referred incorrectly.
An aside, but gender division of services is not inherently problematic. Most DV support is done through the same organizations, but male and female DV care has very different needs. The number of men who seek DV support because they are actively at risk of grievous physical harm is vanishingly small, for example; men are generally at risk of losing housing, medical care, are being prevented from accessing their residence or their children are at risk and so male DV support is set up to provide those because that is usually what men most urgently need addressing. This is very counter to womens DV support, which is almost always about removing them from imminent harm ASAP and everything else is secondary. Connecting people to systems designed to provide what they likely most urgently need is critical to providing DV care, and errors can be then corrected once the urgent issues are addressed.
There's no perfect solution, and unfortunately going with what statistically will improve responses is the best you can hope for. Incredibly rare cases like this, which could have been resolved by simply speaking to the social workers involved, should not be the reason the whole system is slowed down - the solution here is just to make sure people are recorded as their correct genders.
Ms Wylder is now questioning why Victoria Police prioritised defending the case for more than two years.
Presumably because the court system is broken? Two years for lawsuits against a public service is almost fast for the canadian court system. IDK this seems... Like, yeah, the system was clearly broken - but it wasn't like they even misgendered her solely on the basis of anti-trans bias, they even recorded her as potentially being pregnant. It seems like the system just made a mistake, or referenced another system that hadn't updated her gender.
From working with these systems, social service referrals are not handled by the police - that is given over to another agency, who match against their own records to confirm identity instead of taking the information from the police reports. This is done because the cops are idiots who write things down wrong all the time - it just seems like in this one instance the cops recorded things right and the referenced systems did not have the correct gender information for her yet (possibly because it had not been officially changed?)
Honestly this really seems like the cops didn't screw up, it was the social service group that did the referral who borked things - which may be why the cops fought this, it's not like there's tons of examples of them handling transgender-involved anything correctly....
All I'm seeing is this:
The administration can articulate and enforce its requirements and needs vis-à-vis technology providers. This applies to product features (functions, operating options, availability, information security & data protection, etc.) as well as contract design and license models.
Maybe it's a translation error, I'm sorry I just can't find where they talk about that. I know this is a bit tedious but I would really like to be wrong about this - I know some of the devs involved, and mostly they are poor poor. I would very much like to know that their effort isn't being exploited, as it so often is. So far, digging into this far more than I should (this is a cry for help) I still cannot find any actual statement that they do contribute to the source beyond maybe planning to submit pull requests? If you have a concrete example of what they're doing I would be overjoyed to see it, but so far they're doing the depressingly common thing of barely even paying lip service to the idea of supporting the core FOSS project devs.

Depends on your definition of “damn near everywhere” I guess.
Well I suppose that's fair. It would be nice to have an understanding of that ambiguity extended towards my own comments, but sure. For example here:
I think it’s pretty silly to hear someone say something is everywhere and assume that someone meant that the entire US is covered by only this exact type of road.
Which isn't even what I'm doing.
I think there are some real issues with the assumptions here - you're trying to claim that these kinds of development are common, something I've already said I agree with. But population density has never come into this until you brought it up, and that urban areas contain the majority of the population hasn't been contested either. Your own initial claim was narrow in scope (though I would still very much argue they're misinformed), but they were made in support of an absurd claim and that's primarily what's being discussed.
Incidentally while the prior claim was never "most people live within ten miles of a development or developed road like this" this is a claim you could absolutely support by just going to the collected data and doing the analysis yourself (ideally before the trump admin takes it all down...) using (I recommend) QGIS (another GIS modeling tool will work too, just never ever arc. Fuck arc, and especially fuck that sexist POS Jack Dangermond). This isn't hard, it's on the level of a freshman GIS assignment, and I wholeheartedly encourage you to learn about it because GIS is extremely cool and important! (Helpfully there are plenty of people that have already done analysis on questions extremely similar to or identical to this which you can use as examples).
I will also very happily help you with this if you would like to DM me, I have a GIS course coming up and this will make an excellent introductory assignment so it would be very useful to run through it before developing it into actual coursework.
(Side note: If 80% of the population lives within an urban area, why does only 25% of the population live within 1/2km of a high-density road? It's not a gotcha I promise, it's just that the difference in definitional scope between the wikipedia page and your first claim about 25% of the population is really stark and it's a great example of why you can't simply conflate two datasets and draw conclusions from the results - there does need to be some effort expended on ensuring that the data does indeed say what you mean it to say)
Yes? I didn't contradict your calling it "odd", I clarified that it isn't egregiously odd, just the regular kind.
Liege waffles are made from Brioche (yeasted & risen), so the dough is very dense and they have pearl sugar mixed in which gives them a delightful crunch while you eat them! Apparently you don't normally add toppings, but maple syrup is too delicious for me to worry about the mild anachronism.
