Not especially surprising, given how difficult it is to get any form of healthcare for trans kids. The change has actually quite limited scope.

Ngl sounds good to me. I like it cold and dark. Did I mention I'm a mole?

Wanna swap? I'll come enjoy the snow, you can come to the UK and enjoy the, uh, rain.

Even descriptivists accept there has to be some degree of balance. Yes, language evolves, that doesn't mean I can start calling my shoes bhurghs and expect anyone to know what I'm talking about.

But if it catches on...

I asked ChatGPT and it also said eleven eleven.

My whole org is down for the count. 100k+ employees got a free day off (at least those fortunate enough not to be in IT support lol)

Steam DB has a pretty decent search. It's not SQL but the filters are a bit better.

I know how you feel tho - so few consumer orgs give us an advanced search worth it's salt. I want to have (x AND y) OR z, or maybe x AND (y OR z)... Not whichever specific combination was preordained for me.

Just a few more RPG books. A few more, and then maybe I'll actually start playing an RPG? Maybe. But anyway, I could download a few more first...

Huh, that's a lot longer that the version I knew growing up:

"Betty bought some butter, but the butter Betty bought was bitter

So Betty bought some better butter, better than the bitter butter Betty bought before"

From The One Sentence Persuasion Course by Blair Warren: "People will do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures, allay their fears, confirm their suspicions, and help them throw rocks at their enemies"

I've found this helpful when trying to convince anyone of anything. The book breaks it down more, of course, but is probably not worth reading Vs the various summaries you can find online.

My summary, at least what I took from it is that you must try to understand the person you are negotiating with/pursuading. Figure out what they want, or what they're afraid of, and offer that.

El Mex sounds like a cheesy mexican villain

Still, there should be Braille for the text too.

There's also no way for someone who needs Braille to actually DO the "puzzle". The other words don't have Braille, the map appears to be flat. Terrible design.

Her arms are actually bunched up in front of her so she can hold a little Xbox controller

Are you measuring your waist or your hips? Counterintuitively the waist measurement is not where your trousers actually sit.

Idk about latest. I deleted my FB account a while ago, but every time I see anything from there it's bizarre AI generated crap.

Don't forget about the soldiers with huge boots over their prosthetic legs. It's their birthday, all 10,000 of them. So sad. Did you see the young man who made an impressive sculpture of a dog? Or how about the other 7 million of them? Dog sculpting is really taking off I hear.

My old kindle was a nightmare for this reason. Plus the socket got funky with age on top of that, and eventually there was really like 1 special cable that would work and it always seemed to end up hidden under 50000 things.

Still, that does speak to the battery life of the kindle.

Is this a Smiths song?

All the advice I read suggested that if you hold your arm out in front of you while seated in your usual desk position, your fingertips should touch the centre of the monitor.
