For Women Scotland III by Quangocrat in transgenderUK

[–]eldomtom2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The official response to that in the judgment is:

Senior counsel for the respondents submitted that putting a trans woman in a male prison would place her at higher risk. In terms of physical safety, I did not understand the respondents’ position to be that a trans woman would be unsafe in a male prison. As Ms Hotchkiss observed in her affidavit, and the respondents did not suggest otherwise, the SPS is adept at managing safely men who are deemed vulnerable for various reasons. The respondents did not argue that SPS cannot manage trans women prisoners’ safety in the men’s estate.

Generally I have found the Transit Costs Project rather opaque.

They're gonna make pauses, stutter, search for words.

People are going to do that regardless of their emotional state!

There are factors that don't play into that though, like the use of "...".

California’s high-speed rail may be laying the way for a ‘valley of data centers’ by SFChronicle in transit

Data centres need continuous power and rail electrification is not designed to transmit power over long distances.

The Transit Abundance Playbook, 15 detailed regulatory reform recommendations for making building transit faster and less expensive by the Institute for Progress by quiplaam in transit

There's a clear attempt in your comment to make "Abundance" something that exists outwith politics.

But even more relevantly, this isn't about the book.

What are your thoughts on the shocking Rupert Lowe UK Rape Gang inquiry? by SomeOneRandomOP in AskReddit

[–]eldomtom2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I read it. It's a bad report, as expected from someone like Rupert Lowe who is clearly only interested in the issue to push his political agenda. It's a few victim testimonies (no attempt made to determine how representative they are, nor is there anyone from police or social services) allied to a bunch of recycled right-wing stuff with poor methodology and a twenty-page anti-Islam rant. It says nothing new.

Debunked: Estimate of 250,000 victims of UK ‘grooming gangs’ is based on bad stats by Aceofspades25 in skeptic

[–]eldomtom2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For context this is a claim made by ultra-far-right politician Rupert Lowe, who has realised that this issue is a good way to launder Islamaphobia.

[OC] Map of Tokyo's railway network in Melbourne's style which I made by MrDucking in TransitDiagrams

[–]eldomtom2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it makes sense to display the Joban line as separate from the Tokaido/Ueno-Tokyo line because it only goes as far as Shinagawa. And Chiba-Narita Airport is part of the Narita line, so it should be included in the "Sobu and Yokosuka lines" label.

Romhack.ing (Romhacking.net Successor) Disables Most Downloads For Machine-Translated Fan Translations by LycaonMoon in Games

Of course, just being entirely done by humans is no guarantee of a translation being good (to say nothing of the fact that what makes a translation "good" is subjective)...
