Six inches?

Superb

For anyone else who was wondering, the 2 in LGBTQ2 apparently stands for "two-spirit", which is:

a term used to broadly capture concepts traditional to many Indigenous cultures. It is a culturally-specific identity used by some Indigenous people to indicate a person whose gender identity, spiritual identity and/or sexual orientation comprises both male and female spirits.

First time I've ever heard of either term, but I'm not Canadian!

More people than you might expect don't find it easy to conceive. That wasn't my experience (if anything it was "too quick") but I think sometimes people are asking you to hope/pray or whatever that they can make it happen.

Yes but only for 6 seconds

Given recent revelations, more like he'd just assume that's what he ordered and eat it.

I wonder if it has something to do with "frogs" in bricks - frogs being the concave indentation in the surface of a brick. "Stitching" kind of works with masonry as well...

Glad to hear it!

Yes it is a product of those things, if you're thinking about it then please see someone and work out a path to better mental health.

We only get one life, it would be a tragedy to waste it!

I can only assume this is Tim Hortons

Two people close to me have gone from "normal" to suicidal and back again in the last 6 years, for different reasons and at different times. Thankfully they are both stable and enjoying their lives now.

If you've not witnessed anything like that, count yourself lucky. I remember talking to people about suicide when I was younger and couldn't understand how anyone could get to that place until I saw someone I know really well go through a complete mental breakdown.

It does have a similar vibe to when Liz Truzz killed the Queen

Didn't he send another cardinal to lecture Vance?

I used to have a kindle but when I upgraded I went for a kobo because of this kind of thing. Loving the kobo

Exactly.

There are lots of people in this thread who aren't familiar enough with how the UK system works (understandably, because it's not a UK community). A lot of those people have jumped to the wrong conclusion.

It makes me wonder how often I get the wrong end of the stick when it comes to US/international politics etc.

Yeah it's going to be a legal mess for a while and I do sympathise with people who are affected. Something for parliament(s) to sort out.

The courts in the UK are not politicised like in the US.

"Judges say the "concept of sex is binary" while cautioning that the landmark ruling should not be seen as victory of one side over another"

They interpret the law as it's written (I.e. about sex, not gender), so to change this you would need a new law. It's not supposed to be a moral judgement.

But they don't have complete visibility over what you do with cash, which is exactly their point right?

Believe it or not, this is a legit thing. I haven't done anything much with rocks*, but here's a good example for soil. If it's fine grained (smaller than sand) and you can't see the particles by eye, you can rub some on your teeth:

Buttery texture --> clay Gritty on the teeth --> silt

Not approved for use on contaminated ground!

• I'm a structural engineer, but I work closely with geotechnical engineers and do my best to understand it as well

Nope I'm pretty sure they are glass/ceramic, but they have a nice flared end so maybe they have other uses
