So the Guardian printed a great interview with Judith Butler https://twitter.com/robin__craig/status/1435212820036128771?s=21 Then, presumably after the Terfs at the paper actually read the content of it, they excised three entire paragraphs, the reasoning being “developments which occurred after the interview took place (???) https://twitter.com/oldnorthroad/status/1435327870742769665?s=21 Absolutely mad stuff. gently caress the Guardian

Because none of the other stuff affects them (at least, not directly)

Miftan posted:Hello friends, was wondering if anyone could help. I'm trying to find out if this house has leaf pipes going out from the house main to the local area main. The pipes under the sink are copper or plastic, but unclear about the outside pipes. Is there an easy way to check or alternatively a way to check if the water has any lead in? It's an old house. We have an old lead supply pipe, was worried about it so we contacted Yorkshire Water and they sent a guy out with a test kit (no issue with lead in the water in the end, thankfully). I imagine your water company will probably do the same if you have a poke around on their website.

If you want to talk about bad decisions, JavaScript trumps C# a hundred times over. JavaScript dates have 1-indexed day of month and year, but 0-indexed months, so if you created a date with 1/1/2021 it would give you the first of February 2021. Comically annoying until you get used to it

Comrade Fakename posted:I don't drive, so really don't have much interest in it, but I am a bit interested in green technology stuff, and I've got to say it's pretty bizarre how on SA and left Twitter Teslas are the worst cars ever made and incredibly unsafe and constantly explode, while literally everywhere else I look they're widely considered to be good cars that people like. They’re badly built, have very questionable design decisions re: safety (there’s one model where if the car has no power it is literally impossible to open the door to get out) and their software is trash held together by duct tape. The only reason they’re not bankrupt yet because they’ve leveraged Musk’s cult of personality to make money speculating on cryptocurrency and selling carbon offsets Latest stupidity was how they put a yoke on one new model rather than a steering wheel even though it’s impractical and makes everyday driving much more difficult BUT IT LOOKS COOL LIKE AN F1 CAR

Apparently the Asda petrol station near us had small queues but nothing too impactful. Different story for the Shell garage just outside Bradford centre though, traffic was queueing all the way back onto the road so literally everyone using that road was stuck in the queue even if they didn’t want any petrol, took 20 minutes to travel 0.1 miles past it

Miftan posted:I think you're being very optimistic about them caring that the transphobia is explicit. I guess I’m thinking not of the TERFs but if anyone listening to the interview who hasn’t really thought about it much. Most people are broadly supportive of trans right but probably aren't deeply enough into the discourse to know why a statement of ‘not everyone with a cervix is a woman’ is reasonable, or the viewpoints of the people arguing it. Helps to clearly point out the angle that people arguing against it are coming from
