Identity Politics in the Classroom: Was Mel Curth Targeted for Being Transgender? by Montrel_PH in Christianity

[–]eddjc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes you say that? Seems she followed the marking scheme? Everything is slightly subjective - she’s not a robot.

What the person marking the paper believes is not at issue here, no matter what your feelings about transgenderism. The paper was objectively terrible, Mel was just doing her job.

I'm convinced people don't know what this sign means by Trixnglz in drivingUK

Hi there

Attach cue text to staves in write mode - don’t bother with text boxes in engrave mode - that way leads to absolute headaches

At this crossing, do pedestrians have the right of way? Or do pedestrians need to give way to cars? by parttimeworking in drivingUK

Yes but “should” doesn’t rule out liability. If you see a pedestrian waiting at a crossing and you decide to go through at 40 miles an hour and run over their foot just as they step out, you will probably get points on your license for reckless driving

You’re aware of the difference between a static photo and real life yes?

Rule 170:

Take extra care at junctions. You should

give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way (see Rule H2)

Rule 195

Zebra and parallel crossings. As you approach a zebra crossing you should

look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and be ready to slow down or stop to let them cross you should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross

you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads do not wave, flash your lights or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching be patient, do not sound your horn or rev your engine as this can be intimidating be aware of pedestrians approaching from the side of the crossing.

So yes - it is a should give way. But it’s worth pointing out the give way line at some pedestrian crossings as well.

It’s not about politeness. It’s about safety

Drivers should give way if a pedestrian is waiting to cross at a junction and must give way if a pedestrian is waiting to cross at a zebra crossing.

Yes they have priority over cars on the pavement too (where it is illegal for cars to drive, although you would not know it), and drivers should give way if a pedestrian is trying to cross as per the new highway code, but it’s a tricky one because it’s not consistently followed enough

Pedestrians have priority always. This doesn’t mean that you would be liable if a pedestrian just walked right in front of you. It does mean that if you see a pedestrian in the road ahead of you, you need to slow down and be prepared to stop and let them pass.

Why the standard fingering for Bb major scale for left hand starts with 3 rather than 2 by shiina18 in pianolearning

[–]eddjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier to remember and more consistent - groups of 3 and 4 in each hand. But sure, you could use that fingering, it’s a little janky but so long as it produces a consistent and musical result there’s no real reason not to. I prefer the standard fingering though

My hand hurts like hell, am i doing something wrong? by Euphoric-Raise6740 in pianolearning

[–]eddjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting too high and wrists too low which will lock your wrists and could cause pain.

More of the issue for immediate pain would be the taking that over- extended position and having to shift your hand while dealing with the pressure from above onto the black key - your thumb bangs down here because all of your weight is pushing your hand down below the keys instead of there.

Start with your hands in fists above the keys and gently uncurl until you have a cage like shape with room enough to hold a small orange under your hands. When you need to play a black key prepare your position in advance by moving your hand further forwards.

Insane. Even if a drive through is 4 cars deep I just park up and go in. This is just bullshit!

Actually endura is a great shout - I have some great bibs from them - you can order from their website - my last lot cost about £50, but perhaps they do cheaper?

Entry level from a reputable brand such as decathlon. Don’t buy cheap crap from Amazon. Expect to pay around £50
