- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 1 week ago:
There’s a bunch of women specific legislation in the equality act as well.
For example, it allows for the existence of women only spaces which include gyms, refuges and toilets.
If you say that women is used in its biological sense, you’re saying that trans men can use these spaces but trans women can’t.
However, the ehrc is going full terf and saying that despite the ruling that women is used in its biological sense, they think that all trans people should be prohibited from using some of these spaces.
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 1 week ago:
The EHRC are political appointments that were selected for agreeing with the politics of the previous government.
That’s why they sound like anti trans activists.
The whole thing needs to be burnt down. There’s no room for political appointees in legal bodies.

So which existing training should we cut to make time for sling practice?
- Comment on Anon misses the classic design 2 weeks ago:
Because you have to learn to use a sling and if you’re not good you’re much more likely to blow yourself up.
You could probably come up with a more idiot friendly version though some kind of fabric sock where you just launch the whole thing

BMI works quite well for typical people.
Either you do so much more exercise than everyone around you that it’s not a good fit for you, or you should take it as a warning sign.
If you think it’s muscle and not fat, there’s another test that you might like to try instead which is the waist to hip ratio. www.healthline.com/health/waist-to-hip-ratio
But if you want an honest appraisal of your fitness, just do a fun run. The shortish runs round a park with a bunch of normal people. Either you can keep up without killing yourself and everything is fine, or you’re not as fit as you think.

How have you managed not to get fibreglass on your skin when handling it?
I used to install it professionally, and even with goggles, a mask, and overalls tucked into your socks and gloves, that shit gets everywhere.

A big shout out to Oxford spelling which mixes American and English spelling and is incredibly hard to find a spell check for. It gives you all the extra u’s and z’s you could ask for.

Reviewing is on average about reading bad papers that won’t get accepted in great detail to try to figure out what’s actually going on.
At best, it tends to be reading solid work adjacent to your subfield which you can respect but aren’t really that into.
It’s pretty rare for it to be as useful to me as actually choosing something to read.

This is one of those things where both are likely to be true. All webscale datasets have a problem with porn and csam, and it’s like that people wanting to generate csam use their own fine tuned models.
Here’s an example story. …stanford.edu/…/investigation-finds-ai-image-gene… and it’s very likely that this was the tip of the iceberg, and there’s more csam still in these datasets.

It’s not road legal, but you can own one. If it came in on the back of a lorry, with the right paperwork, there would be no reason to stop it.
- Comment on Blacksky Is Nothing Like Black Twitter—and It Doesn’t Need to Be 5 months ago:
I mean the fundamental problem is that humans are dicks and moderation is always needed. It should also be paid, and supported with counciling and recovery time when needed. Dealing with toxic content is a job.
Federation isn’t very good at this. The tech is great but everyone is a volunteer and there’s (afaik) no global ban hammer so trolls move from one instance to another. Bluesky currently has venture capital to pay for moderation teams, and centralized ban options.
I don’t know how long this can last without advertising revenue though.

- Comment on Is there a way to promote a community you create without stepping on toes? 6 months ago:
Ok, it’s almost empty at the moment.
The best thing you could do is post articles to it at a rate of about 1 a day. This will turn up in people’s feeds and hopefully get up voted and attract comments.
Cross posting etc., can come after this. You can’t promote a community with no content.

- Comment on NHS-branded baby formula could prevent parents paying too much, watchdog says 7 months ago:
Just calm down and wait. You don’t actually need massive amounts of milk from start, and it takes time for everything to kick in.
- Comment on NHS-branded baby formula could prevent parents paying too much, watchdog says 7 months ago:
The important thing about NHS care is that half the midwives are completely insane, and they all contradict each other. They have basically no medical training and are just meant to get someone qualified if anything goes wrong. Instead they go mad with power and use it to bully first time parents into doing what they say.
Our midwife was insistent that if there wasn’t enough breast milk immediately after birth we had to switch to bottlefed. I don’t think you can figure out the official NHS approach based on anything a midwife says.

The infographic says crop farming. Ireland is green because of the grass which goes with animal farming.

In theory. It’s just standard contract law. You violate the contract, so you have to make the other party right.
In practice, the court is likely to go, “You should’ve hired someone else to do the work. No costs”
- Comment on Anon quits their job 8 months ago:
No, not at all.
If the company fire you they have to pay you, e.g., three months notice, regardless of if they want you to do the work or not.
If you quit without notice, you might have to pay the costs incurred by you quitting early, but that’s not your salary -because they wouldn’t be paying you in the first place.
Costs might be something like having to refuse an order because you now don’t have enough people to do the work, or the increased cost of an expedited hiring process.
I don’t know how common costs are in France, but the UK has the same rules and essentially no one ever claims costs. You need to really fuck over your employee in a very explicit and well documented way for this to even be considered.
The main disadvantage is you will have a bad reference if you leave without notice.
