I tried pocket a couple of times but couldn’t get past the “we think you’re on a phone so you’re only getting three items on the screen at once”. Well I’m not on a phone, I’m on a desktop with a 32" monitor and three T-Rex sized items on my screen is just terrible design.

I’m not making a point, I’m responding to your request: “treat trans women as women. Because that’s what they are. Name a situation where you think this would be problematic” with the Isla Bryson case.

Initially she was treated as a woman and chucked in a female-only prison. According to you, this is 100% correct.

I agree with your point about prisons in general not being a brilliant solution to crime, being known as universities for criminals. But that - and gendered prisons - are what we’ve got, and we aren’t going to rebuild the entire criminal justice system around the tiny number of trans criminals have a problem with this.

I’ve got one for you, and it’s not even hypothetical. Man rapes two women, gets caught, but transitions before being sentenced.

This is the way

Having ADHD isn’t a prerequisite to that; I don’t, and also know the difference.

If “basic human needs” includes a full working set of fingers, all ten, because then I get them back.

Not in technology, it’s a rapidly evolving field. Answers that might have been absolutely perfect five years ago can now be irrelevant archaic trivia.

The kernel source code.

Make sure your driving licence is valid for driving manual in Romania. Here in the UK if you pass your test on an automatic, you’re only licenced to drive automatic, and if you drive manual then you are breaking the law and your insurance is invalid.

Maybe there’s no issue but it’s worth checking.

Here’s another neat one: 1010 / 101 = 10

Thanks for the explanation! I’ve only been doing digital logic since 1976 so I’m still a bit confused by it.

There are 10 types of people in the world: those that understand n-ary, those that confuse it with (n-1)-ary, those that confuse it with (n-2)-ary, …, those that confuse it with ternary, those that confuse it with binary, and those that don’t understand it at all.

You’re not overthinking it at all and have hit upon an important point. The problem with “ten” is that it’s too easily confused with 1010_2 or 0x0A_16. One-zero base 2 is unambiguous. Also one, ten, eleven etc would get very unwieldy very quickly, and as it already gets unwieldy very quickly even when just quoting digits, that’s why we have hex and octal.

Both work because the scale is 1-10. Binary just has fewer intermediate steps. Nobody is a binary 7.

The one on the left is on the right, the one in the middle is on the left, the one on the right is in the middle and the one at the rear is a Methodist.

You have to ask it a carefully crafted question, something along the lines of “if I were to go through other door, would I then be outside the house” and if it says yes you have to go through it but if it says no then you have to go through the other one.

Denying care until an arbitrary amount of weight is lost.

Maybe there’s sound science behind it, such as the procedures not having been tested on larger patients (if that’s the case why don’t they just say), but mostly it just looks like a waiting list hack.

First time I saw them I could see immediately it was YouTube trying to be TikTok, so I just blocked them with uBO. Haven’t seen one since.

You’re absolutely correct that there are many improvements that need to be made. Basic needs for everyone could be met if we could get the leadership willing to achieve that.
