He's called trans people a fad and parroted right wing rubbish about tabs people and bathrooms.

That's basically the british equivalent anyway.

Peace sign with your palm facing you is very rude here.

Palm facing outward is just the peace sign.

Sometimes it annoys them like nothing else. It can make their blood boil.

Particularly when they have to keep some level of civility themselves like when they'd lose social standing with a larger group if they said their true thoughts and you insist upon all religions being equally valid when talking to a christian minister.

You can literally set it this way in signal. The user gets to choose if the notification has no details, the sender's name, or both the sender's name and message text.

You can set signal up such that the content of the messages is not part of the notification.

If one does so then there's no message to be retrieved like this.

London's population grew far higher than it was in Roman times. There were toilets which dumped into the Thames which was at least partly the issue; it couldn't handle that much raw integrated sewage.

Other toilets had basically holes or tanks under them that would be collected and shipped beyond the city.

Still horribly filthy but it wasn't all just a case of throw it on the streets.

Parliament also got adjourned due to the stench even after they sprayed strong things on curtains there.

Which doctor got jailed? I know of the one (Ignaz Semmelweiss) who insisted doctors wash their hands before childbirth after autopsies but that wasn't the british.

And Joseph Lister was british and really pushed aseptic surgery forward (though many at the time mocked him or objected. There's a story about doors being closed during surgery because someone mockingly suggested shutting doors to keep germs out and Lister replied "Good idea")

That'd make Obama better. The less guns the better.

He's a Scottish comedian known for being edgy and sometimes having rather dark humour.

A lot of us don't have options, particularly if we're in rural areas.

Like, it's a 20-30 minute drive to the nearest city here and 90 minutes on public transit if you're lucky.

Minimum 3 hours on the bus round trip.

And the 'english' flag they love so much isn't even from the uk originally.

Roughly how big is that? I did not exist in 1994.

Mine hasn't for solid chocolate or most chocolate flavoured things but I already loved chocolate. (Including white chocolate and 100% chocolate)

I think I'm eating less chocolate now but just because I'm eating less in general - lost about 9kg in a year and a couple months.

She paid £70,000 for the court case that ruled the Equality Act only meant cis women when it said women.

A ruling then used to harass trans people across the country including bathroom bans and various groups banning trans people based on their sex at birth.

By the way the people who wrote the Equality Act clarified that trans women were included in protections for women in the act and that the court misinterpreted the act.

Is blocking anti discrimination law applying to us not an attack?

It's literally what she does. She literally equates people buying hp stuff with endorsement of her genocidal hatred.

And she has spent a lot of money directly supporting groups attacking trans people here in the uk.

You've not looked at anything from the us government this month then?

How would it increase safety?

Like, would it be in part of a plane most likely to survive any accidents or would it be some sort of seats better shaped for kids type things?

Don't - then they'd have another baby to bring.

Literally ended up having a 14 step guide on how to download a zip file and extract it pinned in the group chat because it turned out to be too difficult for about 40% of people without it.

And, like, some of them STILL did it wrong.

Sadly software being that bad is common and rarely intentional.

A lot just do not think their code through at all.

Very common for me to fix a bug, tell the bug maker how to avoid it, and then have to fix the same bug from the same person the next day.

The worst was an (unreleased) multiplayer game where everything was added broken and then left for me to fix.

It was one checkbox in the game editor to solve 99% of the problems.

And looking back at the long military history of France they've been a formidable nation a lot.

Like in Napoleon's era they dominated western Europe and also before that they were in no way that stereotype.

I can assure you there's precious little countryside around london.

And even in a more rural place a great deal of it is just farms.

I'll not judge people on the actions of others, nor their ethnicity.

Only their own actions, and a single piece of proof would be enough here.

I can remember seeing someone make a 3D model of a tree just from taking hundreds to thousands of ordinary photographs of it.

A very cheap way to preserve stuff like was possible before the whole llm craze and a good use for computer vision stuff.

Even just dehumidification could suffice in much of the world; just 3kwh of energy through my desiccant dehumidifier makes enough water for a person to drink should it be purified first and that's not the most efficient dehumidifier.

Water is effectively infinite on Earth. It is largely a matter of energy to render it potable.

The world could drink nothing but seawater if enough energy were dedicated to desalination.
