The French are huge fans of medicine.

Tea-bag tea first thing in the morning, strong, with milk. Light/medium-roast speciality filter coffee with breakfast, or mid-morning. If I’m having another caffeine drink in the afternoon it would ideally be nice leaf tea, black, green or oolong definitely without milk. But if I’m at work or out and about sometimes just another mug of tea-bag tea.

A lot of old hard rock and metal with power chords is easy to play a simplified version of. I think Metallica - ‘For whom the bell tolls’ and ‘Enter Sandman’ were probably the first things I learnt. You can learn enough to have fun playing a riff like that even if you struggle to get your hand into position to do proper 6-string chords.

:`-( I miss voting in the European elections! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺💪

2008 and the start of austerity was now close to 16 years ago. It went out of fashion everywhere else but we bloody stuck with it 💪🇬🇧

Lol at UK being more liberal than Ireland! Yes in terms of their abortion laws they were very behind until recently, but in every other way I can think of Ireland has been way more progressive. UK politics meanwhile (driven by middle England Sun readers) busy trying to brexit ourselves back to the spirit of the blitz or something. Can’t wait to get my blue passport, God save the king!

The main way the atomic bombs worked was by setting everything on fire. The radiation was secondary, and much less significant.

What do the spidery white lines joining the minimums represent?

Power engineer? How is your job overall? Challenging in a good way and satisfying? Or stressy and boring? I’m studying right now, going on my first internship this summer with a network operator, can’t really imagine what to expect…

Can I ask your advice about some home locksmithing? I have a problem involving a password protected zip file from ten years ago, and a vault from an old Android password manager like keepassX or something. I have tried learning how to use johntheripper, but I want able to narrow down any of the parameters, so it was just doing the broadest brute force approach possible, which didn’t seem likely to work within my lifetime…

I’ve never seen it myself, but my wife spent most of her childhood/teenage years in Shetland, and apparently up there, back then, Smirnoff ice was the drink of choice for hard working middle aged men. We’re talking about a bunch of islands where the main employment is offshore fishing and the oil & gas industry, and where they’re very proud of their Viking heritage. (Image search Jarl squad to see what I mean, those guys who are picked for the squad will grow their beards all year to look the part)

It is interesting, but remember we need food to live anyway, and we need exercise to stay healthy. If we ask used ebikes on max pedal assist to get around, but then go to the gym and pound the treadmill for an hour, what does that do to the numbers? Or if we eat less and burn less energy, but then lose bone density and need more healthcare as we age (just one effect among many of not getting enough exercise)?

Your second sentence does not follow logically from your first though. A randomly selected male might be half as likely as a randomly selected woman to be a victim of domestic violence, but what a man in the far smaller set of people who have googled that particular phrase? I would venture to say the ratio might be a lot closer

Not cool, mate. Too far. disappointed face.

I mean that was possibly their intention, but nevertheless I think it is a reasonable question to ask, and I found it difficult to answer comprehensively.

If we dismiss everything like this as troll, and not worth thinking about, we miss an opportunity to develop point of view and add nuance to our arguments.

I think we should try to answer this rather than just down voting. I think the difference is that conservative thinking led to the policy that led to the person being targeted, and possibly also to a climate of intolerance that made the attacker/s feel like they had the support of the community to do that. We’re not really talking about who is too blame for this individual instance (obviously that’s the person/s who manslaughtered this child). We’re talking bigger picture.

When an immigrant commits a crime, I suppose you would argue that liberal thinking created the situation where that could happen, but I think it’s a false equivalence. Big picture immigrants don’t disproportionately commit crime, and there are major benefits that come with immigration. While trans people absolutely are disproportionately the victims of violence, and there are no real benefits to transphobic policies.

I guess I haven’t done great at this, please other people build on this reply, it just felt wrong to see a fair enough question just being downvoted with no reply.
