Some trans men have boobs; calling them women is the worst crime imaginable: misgendering.

How do they know they’re women?

If they have value to the company then how about sharing the costs of commuting? A 50-50 split seems reasonable to me. The company gets the value of those conversations, and the plebs get some help with all that fuel they now have to buy, at ridiculous prices due to high oil prices.

True but the sentiment is real. It’s only a matter of time before Discord enshittifies and people need to stop being dependent on it.
- Comment on Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human? 1 week ago:
A programmer’s pet peeve is someone who says “why can’t you just…”.
But the fundamental problem with your plan, assuming it’s possible at all - it’s been said that if the brain were simple enough for us to understand then we’d be too simple to understand it - is that you’re going to want to make your AI at least as smart as someone who’s 30-40 years old, which by definition would take 30-40 years.

- Comment on checkmate, big geology!! 2 weeks ago:
Just leave a virgin-shaped hole in the middle of the concrete block. It won’t change the efficacy of the concrete due to the magma wavelength being so much greater than the hole diameter (the mesh screen on a microwave principal).
- Comment on Physics 2 weeks ago:
It has a single hole through its body from its mouth to its arsehole. IANAB but I think all other holes have at least a membrane between one end and the other. So it’s topologically equivalent to a teacup and a torus.
- Comment on Movie lines people laughed at in theaters despite not actually being intended to be funny? 2 weeks ago:
Not quite the same but having listened to the 1712 Overture several times before hearing the 1812, I didn’t get some of the jokes until I actually heard the 1812, and THAT’s when I laughed.
But on-topic me and the wife have been watching an animation film where the cinema was mostly kids and we got, and laughed out loud at, some of the “jokes for the grown-ups” that none of the kids did, who were all staring at us for laughing at something that was totally not funny for them.

No they’d only model a bull as a torus.

Maybe nobody actually knows the answer, except probably Reddit devs and the managers that made them push those changes out, neither of which will be at liberty to say.
We can all speculate - they’re doing something for the sake of being seen to be doing something instead of actually blocking the content; they don’t want to block the content selectively because that means KYC and lots of people get upset about that sort of thing, etc etc.

We like mixing them up too. Tyres are measured using three numbers, two of which are in mm, the other (wheel diameter) is in inches.

It’s Feynmann’s multiplication technique. What you do is make a slightly more complicated multiplication, then divide everything by infinity so it all goes to zero, then pull out of a hat a magician pulling himself out of a hat.

Yeah, but that just makes you sound like a dick who has no idea what kind of mammoth struggle it is to get off drugs that are designed to be as addictive as possible.
Recommendation for future: either say nothing, or join in with those who congratulate them for their achievement.
- Comment on Germans: what genocide? 5 weeks ago:
How it started: the Ottomans sided with the Nazis, so when they lost, the Ottomans also lost their land and the Allies got it, following the usual war rule where the winner wins the land. Dividing up the land is where the British Mandate for Palestine came from, under which we gave 2/3 of the land to the Arabs (Transjordan) and 1/3 of the land to Israel. But the Arabs refused to accept this and started the first of a series of wars against Israel. The Arabs, now also partially known as Palestinians, have continually refused to accept any peace deal, starting wars whenever possible and so far losing every one of them. Israel has repeatedly accepted peace deals, even at the cost of land, but it only works if both sides agree, which they don’t: the only deal the Arabs want is all the land and no Israel, which also means no Jews (proof: look at the Jewish communities within existing Arab states (TLDR: non-existent or shrinking)), which means the Arabs are hellbent on a genocide of all the Jews, and are determined to achieve that or die trying.

That shouldn’t make you lose your job though, unless you work in a really shitty place. Own it, recover from backup, bring the account back up to date, then everyone has a bit of a laugh at your expense until next time it happens. Small inconvenience for the customer, who quite rightly complains about it, but they’ll get over it. Absolutely not a big deal.
If you haven’t got backups then it’s not you that should get fired but the backup guy, unless of course you ARE the backup guy.

Do they have to be antipodal? If we imagine a clock face overlaid over an image of the earth, if a meteorite strikes vertically (i.e. parallel to the 12-6 line) at 11, could it result in a bulge at 7?

Same here, 56M. Realised a long time ago that everyone’s just figuring it out as they go along, and those stronger personalities that project “right” and “wrong” are just as much pretending as the rest of us.
