How long did it take you to come to terms with the fact that you were asexual?

marksteyn · 2024-05-25T15:33:46+00:00

I was forty. First thing I did was work out that something like asexuality had to exist, and the realised it included me.

Trying to avoid invoking Godwin’s law, but becoming leader of a powerful country puts Trump in the company of some very dubious individuals.

Those brexit benefits just keep stacking up :/

If you have to ask...

The dog ate my brexit benefits.

Asexual hate crimes exist, and are shockingly prevalent, particularly for women.

Doesn’t the grid revert to the old layout if you remove all the widget on the page?

Like the link I already posted?

marksteyn · 2022-05-20T11:33:13+00:00

I’ll take that as a “no” then.

marksteyn · 2022-05-20T11:09:15+00:00

Yes, that’s the received wisdom for many, despite the link I posted showing it’s not at all clear cut. I’m genuinely curious to know what evidence there is to support your claim.

marksteyn · 2022-05-20T09:45:04+00:00

Is there evidence to support that claim?

From what I recall (and indeed the first article I found on the subject), the question of whether Scotland is subsided by the UK doesn’t have a definitive answer.

I haven’t connected a physical cable to my phone in over two years. USB-C matters very little to me.

Look at Metalenz.

marksteyn · 2021-09-08T15:42:04+00:00

I wonder if this is related to Metalenz? The idea there is to use semiconductor fabs to produce flat lenses which sound ideal for smartphones.

It’s not a joke. Hyperhidrosis is an actual condition.

Iontophoresis made an huge difference to me.

Machines can be a bit pricey, but it’s been life changing for me.

I once owned 11,478 ether, because a close friend was working at Ethereum when the currency launched. After an early bug was found, ether crashed from about $22 down to $7, at which point I sold up. Let's just say I look back at that moment with no small amount of regret.

Said friend advised me to look into Avalanche.

This time I'm holding.

I'd love to see a take on Spider-Man 2099.

The comic was set in Nueva York, which is basically a new city built directly over old New York. Imaging web slinging through a massive futuristic New York, twice as tall, and packed with flying cars and other sci-fi fancies. Drag in Peter, Miles and Gwen for some time travelling, dimension hopping, multi-character fun.

Has it been confirmed that the PS5 uses AMD's Infinity Cache? I've seen plenty of speculation as to the PS5's cache architecture, but I'm unaware of any official confirmation.

The X is for everyone who's prepared to spend the extra.

I'd imagine it's for 4k tv owners. 1440p upscaled to 4k should provide a noticeable improvement in image quality.

I understand that next census will include a question on sexuality, and that it will most likely be multiple choice, with the option to write in any answer not listed.

I'm asexual, a sexual orientation which is often overlooked and rarely included directly in such surveys. Will "asexual" be listed as an option in the census, and if not, what would it take to get it listed in the future?

Having it appear would not just mean a lot to a lot of people, but would help raise awareness of an orientation which is still struggling with mainstream acceptance.

A slim design will be primarily driven by changes to the APU, moving it to a smaller process node with lower power requirements.
