That moment when he says "grab what you want". Like, you know... I'm actually speechless.

Instead of mildly infuriating, I would call this vicariously embarrassing.

I have a TUXEDO Book BU1407.

The hardware support is quite good. It works with mainline Linux without requiring proprietary drivers or firmware.

But the laptop is very noisy. Sometimes I have to put a T-shirt or something under it when I want to watch a movie in silence without hearing all the vibrations it causes on the desk.

It also has a big bright power LED that is very annoying and I have to cover it when I use it in dark environments.

In five years, I had to replace the battery or power supply twice, which they didn't sell and I had to buy from third parties. When I contacted support to try to diagnose why my laptop was not charging, their reply included expressions like "We can't do magic. [...] We can't see into the future and we can't be clairvoyant either" which I found very rude and unprofessional.

For all these reasons, I will not buy TUXEDO again and I think I will give Slimbook a try the next time I need to buy a laptop.

It always happens when a street is made pedestrian-only: the argument that it will reduce sales for small local businesses. I fail to understand how seeing cars drive past your shop is better for sales than people walking around your shop.

Playing the devil's advocate and given that all the text that was removed is contiguous, could it be accidental?

Although all the text that was removed refers to topics that were problematic to Trump's administration.

3 km sounds like too much to me. I don't think most people here would walk that far to do their shopping, especially in 30°C heat, mostly because we usually have small supermarkets all around.

I currently walk 500 m to my small neighbourhood supermarket when I just need to buy a few things and I don't recall ever living further away from some small supermaket. When I am running out of provisions, I take my car and go to a big hypermarket 7 km away. There are other hypermarkets closer by, even within walking distance (2.3 km), but that farther one is the one I like for doing a big shopping.

Of course, distance isn't the only factor. It's not the same 500 m in London or Amsterdam which are mostly flat than in the city where I live now, where the 500 m to my supermarket have gradients of up to 15 %.

 

This is really not a new finding, but just consistent with what was already found by previous studies, but here we go:

The report found that 98 per cent of respondents that had socially and/or medically transitioned had significantly higher levels of happiness and satisfaction.

The researchers found reasons for detransition were due predominantly to transphobia and “challenges related to social acceptance”, such as not being accepted by friends or family for being trans.

“Social and structural explanations dominated the reasons why respondents reported going back to living in their sex assigned at birth at some point,” the report read.

“Only four per cent of people who went back to living in their sex assigned at birth for a while cited that their reason was because they realized that gender transition was not for them. When considering all respondents who had transitioned, this number equates to only 0.36 per cent.”

This is not new though. The EUPL have existed for almost two decades.

Isn't one of the main rationalist blogs named LessWrong? I mean, it's almost like the meme itself.

Shameless, one of my favourite shows ever, especially from season 3. And of course I am referring to the original British version from Channel 4, not that awful remake they made in the US later.

Also Inside no. 9, but as an anthology series, it varies a lot between episodes.

Russia fined at least seven people for “looking too gay” after a police raid on a nightclub in Tula in February which videos show was carried out by men in military-style uniforms and helmets.

It comes as the Kremlin ramps up a push to promote “traditional values” that has included tightening anti-LGBT legislation and banning “propaganda promoting a child-free lifestyle”.

One man had “crosses of black tape glued to his nipples” and a “women’s style corset” on his “naked” body.

Another had “pink socks … an unbuttoned kimono over his shoulders, his hair dyed bright orange, and red tattoos on his face”.

“Although a man, he was wearing a short top covering his chest, black leather shorts above the knee, on which there were several chain-shaped ornaments, and fishnet tights,” read another description.

“The appearance of the detainees is inconsistent with the image of a man of traditional sexual orientation,” judges were reported to have said.
