Based on that, I think it's safe to assume that a GP sometime earlier in his life said "trans fats are bad" and the misunderstanding spiralled from there...

Funny how some people are not big on Christianity when it's trying to teach actual Christianity, or if the messenger had the wrong albedo.

I spent a long weekend in Bruges with 3 friends. The rule was that we couldn't have the same beer twice over the visit. It wasn't even a challenge.

If she actually cared about sexism harassment she would have:
- Released the reports rather than used them as a bargaining chip
- Stopped supporting Trump after he was adjudicated to be a rapist
Her line appears to be somewhere between "SA on minors bad" & "SA on adults, meh"
- Released the reports rather than used them as a bargaining chip
- Stopped supporting Trump after he was adjudicated to be a rapist
Her line appears to be somewhere between "SA on minors bad" & "SA on adults, meh"

I quite enjoy* - when somebody is trying to say how easy it to fix XYZ - that "every complex problem has a simple solution", leave enough of a pause for them to agree, and then finish with "and it's almost always the wrong solution".
* I can be a bit of an asshole.

Funnily enough Matt Parker of Stand-up Maths - @standupmaths.bsky.social - had a printer correct his fliers for his "Humble PI" show which had a whole load of deliberate mistakes.
Basically, printers can't win.

Engineering estimates:
g is exactly 10m/s²
π is exactly 3
I especially like the latter if there is a mathematician with earshot.

You don't need to back her. She's still fine with sexual assault, just not when the victim is a minor.

I see the logic but seeing as she was happy to continue supporting him after the "grab them by the pussy" audio and him becoming an adjudicated rapist I'm dubious.
If she has a line it's somewhere between
- SA on minors - bad
- SA on adults - good

Reading your interactions there appear to be at least 3 types of people:
1. I'm glad I didn't do that - it looked dangerous
2. I'm lucky I didn't hurt myself doing that, best not tempt fate again
3. I did something risky and came out ok. Will definitely repeat

Of course the stats above will be used to show that we're just stealing jobs.

It's complicated when buying/selling. At the moment the mileage box is completely optional on the V5 when transferring ownership. This would make it mandatory for EVs only, which is fun.

I tried searching for somebody called Coleman related to Mustard Gas, just to stick the knife in a twist it (as my dad would put it), but unfortunately (or fortunately) found nothing.
As a last resort, I also tried Dijon but also came up blanc.
