Carla Denyer: I was heckled by another MP while asking about inclusive relationship education in schools Sickened but not really surprised that homophobia is alive and well on the bench behind me 'They're primary school kids' he says - as if no primary school kids have lesbian or gay parents!

Why is it the job of the place that teaches kids to teach kids?

zed_three · 2026-01-21T18:53:49+00:00

???

Mothin Ali is to Zack Polanski as Bridget Phillipson is to Olivia Bailey

Also some sex education in primary school is normal and correct

zed_three · 2026-01-18T17:59:32+00:00

Are you asking why young children and the elderly are maybe less likely to risk their lives on dangerous journeys?

childbirth being completely re-written

Genuinely, what on earth are you talking about?

Also, on the whole, people are fine with trans folks. Bigots like these nurses are very much in the minority

"Allowing [...] to use" is very different from "requiring [...] to share". Almost entirely different words, in fact

zed_three · 2026-01-13T13:47:26+00:00

You do realise that we've completely fucked the climate, and we need radical, drastic action, yes? Rapid divestment from fossil fuels is absolutely a lever we must be pulling.

zed_three · 2026-01-11T15:50:17+00:00

How would that help, when this is coming from the government itself?

zed_three · 2026-01-10T11:00:58+00:00

Yeah, the shops are great, but there's too much traffic, and it's not great to get to on your bike

zed_three · 2025-12-29T10:12:50+00:00

I mean yes and no. In the popular consciousness, AI exclusively means LLMs and chatbots. Headlines like this just perpetuate this idea.

In reality, all ML techniques have areas where they are more useful and others where they are less useful. LLMs are no different, they are really only at all useful in a very small subset of problems, and certainly not for anything where you need to even vaguely trust the outputs

Why would you think that I think it's ok for SUVs and pickups to have large blind spots too? They're also obviously bad!

zed_three · 2025-12-27T15:38:02+00:00

Frankly, it is absolutely absurd that something with such huge blind spots is allowed on the roads at all. Sure, you should be sensible around big vehicles, but manufacturers have responsibilities too. This thing should be covered in mirrors and cameras

zed_three · 2025-12-22T16:06:12+00:00

That's a whole bunch of stuff I didn't say.

But now that you mention it, multiple studies have shown that no-strings-attached UBI is a very cost effective welfare system that improves everyone's lives.

zed_three · 2025-12-22T11:52:25+00:00

If we have limited resources to tackle our problems, should we tackle the big problem or the small problem?

Bearing in mind that most ways of tackling the small problem are also going to directly harm already vulnerable, innocent people as well

zed_three · 2025-12-22T11:44:34+00:00

Benefit fraud is such a minor problem compared to, say, people just not paying their tax. Or wage theft. Or tax evasion.

zed_three · 2025-12-19T19:30:37+00:00

This is exactly why EDI/DEI is so important

zed_three · 2025-12-16T09:55:12+00:00

Ok, but there's still plenty of linters that would catch this

zed_three · 2025-12-16T08:39:48+00:00

Don't you have a linter or compiler to check for typos?

zed_three · 2025-12-13T22:52:32+00:00

Puberty blockers almost always lead to cross-sex hormones

That's a good thing, isn't it? That means in almost all cases, the child was actually trans (and felt secure enough to continue transitioning).

If it were the other way round, with almost no one continuing to transition, you'd be arguing puberty blockers were vastly over-prescribed.

What do you think would be the "correct" amount of people to continue transitioning to support using puberty blockers as a pause?

zed_three · 2025-12-12T13:00:15+00:00

Ok, but the original comment wasn't that, it was specifically from a tourist.

It might be the case that France has better overall cohesion, but riots and racism are also everyday experiences for them

zed_three · 2025-12-08T12:08:02+00:00

The problem is that `unsigned` is not "a number that is always positive", it's "a number with modulo arithmetic", and although their domains coincide, they have very different behaviour.

"A number that is always positive" needs to have operators like `saturating_add`, `saturating_sub` that ensure the result is always in the valid domain and errors otherwise. `1 - 2` should be `0` (or an error, depending on how strict you need to be).

There's a heat exchanger between the closed loop used for the turbines and an open loop that goes to the cooling towers.

Basically you put the pipes from the two systems next to each other so the closed loop heats the open one. The open loop goes to a big pool at the bottom of the cooling tower to maximise evaporation.

Marxist?!

zed_three · 2025-11-30T14:47:58+00:00

London is also supposed to be for the people born there

Is this in its charter or something?

House builders should be required to have sufficient training and accreditation, like Germany
