They do this here in the UK too but because we use the metric system now you just add or take away a zero. It registers in your awareness but you don’t need to go away and install an app on your phone in order to convert it.
I’m assuming this means vote against the Tories but please correct me if I’m wrong.
I have no dog in the fight with this topic but I will be voting against the Tories (in part at least) because they have sought to deflect attention from their failure and contempt for the public by using trans issues as a false enemy and decoy, massively wasting political resources and demonising my fellow countrymen/women/people for their own gain. Fuck em.
None of them care about trans people either way; it’s just one of those things to rile everyone up and make them forget about who’s stealing everything.
The UK is actually kind of libertarian in some aspects in autonomy around identity and right to be known to the government, etc
I’ve noticed that too. My uncle forgot about all of it in his twenties and heard nothing more until he was contacted about claiming his state pension a few years ago. It’s not all bad I guess.
For sure; that’s why it pisses me off so much. At least with traditional bogeymen like Putin/Covid/inflation/Bin Laden etc it’s a plausible ‘other’. Trans people are UK citizens and we drink with them at the pub. It’s literally an attack on our own cohort, to our own detriment.
Both are great but I find Organic better for searches and has a simpler UI (so a good replacement for google maps) but OsmAnd has more technical features and better for using offline, importing GPS tracks etc. I use Organic maps in the car and OsmAnd for hiking, cycling and sharing GPS coordinates.
I would say that the greater the population (in part thanks to medicine) the greater the chances of beneficial mutations occurring and entering the collective gene pool. I see medicine as a safety net. I’m sure it’s more complicated than that, but that’s my professional take on it, as a musician.
As Donald Trump increasingly infuses his campaign with Christian trappings while coasting to a third Republican presidential nomination, his support is as strong as ever among evangelicals and other conservative Christians....
I’m thinking about offering some workshops. My local authority has funds available for courses and workshops which benefit the community, aimed particularly at people on low incomes. It would be fairly basic stuff, like where to access free software, the advantages of it, some recommendations and perhaps even some introductory lessons on using software like Libreoffice, Thunderbird, KeepassXC, GIMP, F-droid, the Fossify suite etc.
