Pretty much the stance I had with an ex-girlfriend who was bi. I didn’t care who she slept with before me or who she slept with after me, so long as she wasn’t sleeping with someone else while we were together.

Here she has a proper dress while he’s wearing a couple blankets held on with a scarf. At least he has confidence.
- Comment on If a person gets busted for let's say a 3rd DWI or small bag of weed or something minor, and escapes the county jail. Will they launch a manhunt after you like they do with killers and such? 3 days ago:
At least give him 35 km/h so he can ride an ebike without getting shocked.

Pure gold.
- Comment on Two tier arrests at Supreme Court Palestine Action hearing 3 days ago:
Can we just short-circuit the whole law and have Brits say they support Sarah Helm and her quotes about Palestine Action? It would be interesting for them to say it’s okay for her to say that but not okay for someone else to agree with her.
- Comment on PSA: This Futurama episode will be banned in the UK starting today 4 days ago:
They must have run out of words and got tired of borrowing them from other languages. Those who were still willing were all shipped to Australia? Sounds like a criminal act as far as the British are concerned.
- Comment on PSA: This Futurama episode will be banned in the UK starting today 4 days ago:
I can’t guarantee it isn’t any or all of those.
- Comment on PSA: This Futurama episode will be banned in the UK starting today 4 days ago:
I sometimes feel like the British authorities would ban sex altogether if they could find people some other way that would be willing to eat kidney pie.

I was just at a hospital. The doctor had a tag buried among many on her lanyard that showed her title (doctor) and preferred pronouns (she/her). I could have felt attacked, but it’s just a fucking a card displaying how to give the most basic level of respect to a person.

Not saying you’re wrong, but I did stupider things when I was 20. I also didn’t do them in front of 50k people…

Sounds like you’re doing the Lord’s and three other people’s work. I’m tired just reading it!
- Comment on Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests 3 weeks ago:
Well, oil prices will surely go down, soon, and the good news is the weather changes that cause all those heatwaves also increase the efficiency of solar.
- Comment on Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests 3 weeks ago:
Perhaps the reason is the people dying every year during heatwaves, caused in large part by depleting oilfields.
🤔

Bill it as “sweaters for your home” in Scotland and they’ll be angry they didn’t do it sooner.
- Comment on Banana for scale 3 weeks ago:
So your argument is we don’t need this in everyday life. Sure, that’s sort of true, but I guarantee this was necessary in making a stove that would work in your area. But also true is that if it doesn’t matter that much in day-to-day life, then the only reason to keep such a clunky system is familiarity.
Also, 1 BTU is the amount of energy to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water 1 degree F. So your calculations are already off by a factor of 128. Given the world doesn’t need you to know the numbers for water to boil, that doesn’t affect much, but perhaps the vastly higher number for heating the water versus the amount of energy to get the water to vaporize should have clued you in that something was weird. It’s easy to tell in metric because most of the dimensional conversion values are 1 or factors of 10.
There are people who like to dismiss the value of knowledge because it isn’t important in their daily lives. This is only true if you live in a hut where the only sources of force are human, animal, or fire, or there is someone unseen that you rely on who has used those tools extensively to provide you a life where knowing that isnt necessary. Raising the bar with ridiculous conversion calculations every step of the way makes understanding these concepts more difficult for the layperson and makes the field harder to enter.
- Comment on Banana for scale 3 weeks ago:
We will assume that room temperature is 20° C. The heat of enthalpy is 2257 kJ/kg, or 2.257 kJ/g. As stated previously, the amount of energy to raise water 1 degree is 1 cal, which also equals 4.184 J. So,
(100-20) × 4.184 + 2257 = 80 × 4.184 + 2257 = 334.72 + 2257 = 2592 J rounded to the nearest whole number. This will leave you with a dry pot.
Now show me the process using Fahrenheit, fluid ounces, and foot-pounds.

The best part is that Walter White, as a science teacher, would probably agree.
- Comment on Banana for scale 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but in one the math is super easy and you don’t need to throw in 6 conversion factors.

If they were really concerned about him feeling welcome, they would ask what he wants and take it at face value.

I had CRTs that could do that, too, but if you opened a picture of a circle, it looked like an oval.
I’m not saying those screen ratios, or those resolutions, didn’t exist, but I wouldn’t say they were the norm.

A 5:4 monitor would be closer to square than an HD monitor. I’m not sure if the OP meant an HD size or actually 5:4 since I haven’t seen anything that size except for digital picture frames and portable console screens.
- Comment on “Empathy is a weakness!” 4 weeks ago:
Not tolerating doesn’t mean not feeling empathy. “Yeah, I’m sad you had a shitty upbringing or decided to join this group so you had a sense of belonging, but I still can’t condone you calling for harm to others.”

You don’t think an economic crisis where 30% of their shareholders and close to 50% of their income is sourced from won’t harm them significantly?

Become president, collapse the dollar and the economy, turn all allies against you, start wars with no benefit or obvious endgame, get the rest of the world to start a program of “Buy not-America”, wait a few years for new programs and businesses to start in foreign nations, have sanctions placed against you for being a bad neighbor, watch your local and international businesses collapse.
🤞
