TV show, not movie, but no, definitely not saying we should ban anything.

Given that the series handled his transition fairly head on, pretty sure no one wants to destroy the older seasons.

My only question was that this meme is directly referring to the top character as a woman. Most times I see this meme it doesn't have any references to gender ("morning shift going to work at 6am / night shift coming home at 6am," or something like that).

Is using an old picture of Elliot Page


and referencing women


considererd poor form? Honest question, I really don't know the etiquette.

The only flaw in Corel's logic was that as soon as you're running Linux, you lose all desire to run WordPerfect, and develop an irresistible need to align yourself with vim or emacs...

this was always bound to happen as we expand our presence in space.

Yes and no


from a different article:

Radiation associated with Starlink satellites was detected at observing frequencies between 110 and 188 MHz, which is well below the 10.7- 12.7 GHz radio frequencies used for the downlink communication signals.

(The original article said 5M radiation, which should be around 60MHz.)

So Starlink is emitting RF in spectrum where they shouldn't, which is avoidable, but takes effort.

My guess, and I could be wrong, is that this could be related to something other than the radio(s), such as switching power supplies finding opportunistic structures from which to radiate.

Sure. But this is kinda just accelerationism/xenophobia, no? For example, replace "Idaho" with "Mexico" in your argument, and it gets pretty ugly pretty fast IMHO.

ID residents should be banned from receiving medical care in WA.

But I think accelerationist policies often hurt vulnerable people...

An incidental exchange of earwax with your (romantic/sexual/life) partner is


how do I put this?


not particularly noteworthy for a lot of folks...

...and I don't see it motivating people to go vote.

But it can do the opposite perhaps


"motivate" people to stay home who would otherwise vote R. Not that, in general, we should be celebrating voter apathy, but I think that some of these endorsements could dishearten folks enough that they end up abstaining.

Track stands! Not a contradiction to your statement at all though: you need to be moving just ever so slightly.

With a fixie it's easy, because you can pedal forwards and backwards in tiny amounts. With a freewheel, it's trickier but you get the hang of it with practice. Ideally you'll have an incline, so you pedal forward to go forward, and ease up to slide back. After some practice I can use the raised reflective paint from e.g. crosswalks as the "incline." This miniscule motion is enough to balance


and like you said, it ain't the angular momentum that does it.

I think you need to include energy cost in the preparation stage. Bread requires a hot oven, which is a real amount of electricity


it's close to $0.40/kWh where I live. From this link it says that a bread maker uses only .36kWh, but an electric oven would be more like 1.6kWh. So bakita single loaf of bread, you end up with a not insubstantial fraction of the total cost going to heating the oven.

Of course, many bulk foods require heat, so it gets a little sticky this way. Oats/oatmeal probably wins out here, as you can just soak them overnight.

A bit nuanced in drought-prone places, though


stone is, well, drought-friendly, but a typical lawn is most certainly not. Best would maybe be drought-resistant native plants...
