That’s also a nice compliment though, I.e. it’s so good they think people would pay for it!

All of this also applies to women saying horrible things being called out by other women who they respect / think are part of their social group.

And only to men, because of course there aren’t any women who hate on trans people!

I don’t like musicals but this film is amazing, truly one of a kind. Absolutely worth watching!

That’s a strong wrist. Too much self-pleasure!

Circumference, not width

“Append…before”, AKA “prepend”!

What’s sobe?

Yep, we have the same system in the UK. In fact, the envelope looks almost exactly the same so they might even be printed by the same company.

You get two envelopes (one big, one small), a postal voting statement, and a ballot paper.

The actual ballot paper just has a list of options for you to put your X against; there’s no personally identifiable information on it. Once you’ve filled it out you seal it in the small envelope.

You then fill in the voting statement (it has your name and address on it so they can cross your name off as voted, and you sign it so they can check your signature matches the one on file) and both that and the sealed ballot go in the big envelope. That way your vote is still private because they check the vote is valid in one step and then add your ballot to a pile to be counted with the others in a second step, at which point it’s anonymous.

A… slab? Of wine?

Is that a whole pallet or something?

I get your point but hydrogen isn’t just sea water, you’ve got an awful lot more energy to put in after the “tank is full so wrap up the hose and drive off” stage to separate the hydrogen from oxygen to get the fuel. The difficult bit comes after “get water”.

It could go that way, but on the other hand they could be more like MorningLightMountain in Peter Hamilton’s Pandora’s Star, i.e. fascists who exterminate every other organism that competes with them for resources.

Great book if you haven’t read it!

Are those things in the middle at the back soft pretzels? They look like conkers (horse chestnuts), confused the hell out of me!

To be fair, she is relatively unknown.

Especially when you consider low information voters (which I expect have similar knowledge to high information voters from other countries).

Her honeymoon period will end as soon as she sits down and does a few serious and unscripted interviews about policy, which she has managed to avoid so far. At the moment it’s pure vibes, but at some point you need to get into the business of explaining what you would do and being challenged on it. That will generate lots of attack angles and media stories, both good and bad.

The irony of the autistic person using a metaphor, and someone else taking it too literally. You have to laugh!

Sounds like what he actually said is that the market would crash if he got elected again…? Presumably he meant the opposite.

The man has never made much sense but this is absolute drivel.

I’m not going to get into the technical details of manifest v2 and v3, as I think it’s beside the point.

I think we can agree that given Google has announced the end of v2, recommending uBlock Origin on Chrome right now would be pretty mad, right?

Ublock on Firefox. Remember Google just kneecapped adblockers on Chrome!

I tried SailfishOS, gave it about 5 years but in the end a combination of bad hardware options and small user base (leading to small number of high quality apps) led me back to Android (grapheneOS).

This plane needs a “No couches are left unattended in this vehicle” sticker.
