Sonia Sodha is still a contributor to The Guardian and is a massive TERF. The Guardian is one of the better news outlets in the UK, but so long as they give her a platform, fuck them.

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world would also be appropriate, though the mods might disagree.

There’s a weird thing here. I totally accept that the traditional tongue map is pseudoscience and debunked, but if you’re paying attention to something like wine or good chocolate, letting it spread across your whole tongue really does seem change the flavor and bring new aspects to what you’re tasting.

My subjective impression is that there is some effect to exposing the whole tongue to a stimulus, and I’d really like to understand it more - but when you search the web, you pretty much just get deconstructive articles about the old model, and not much about what might actually be happening.

I can imagine Laurence Olivier in The World At War would be good for this!

I don’t know anything about insects and spiders, but maybe some sort of running crab spider, e.g. Philodromus cespitum?

I’ve not used LibreWolf, but assuming that Firefox addons are generally compatible, it might be worth trying Chrome Mask. It’s made by a Mozilla employee.

I’d suggest that language fluency and cultural awareness are probably important for your son to be able to settle in and socialize. Cities in Europe (especially Northern Europe) are likely to be best if he speaks English but no other European language?

Tarhiel?

…and not cutting in corners!

Sorry.

Already covered in the OP!

they don’t show up on flight radar or adsbexchane even with government filters turned on

B-Real pops up at around 3:30 in the video, he’s not in the car.

Six songs later in the album is a tune specifically about the evils of making people self-conscious about their body. Be more kind.

Spring to fall, I drive in bare feet whenever it’s appropriate. It’s so much more direct and comfortable. That said, I prefer bare feet when possible anyway - I realize it’s not for everyone.

I’m going to assume you’re being wilfully ignorant but not trying to be an ass. “Gay” is more often used of men than women, and it’s perhaps more common for people to use “lesbian” for gay women, but it just means homosexual (or sometimes more generally not heterosexual), regardless of sex or gender.

Cambridge: “sexually or romantically attracted to people of the same gender or sex”

Merriam-Webster: “of, relating to, or characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to people of one’s same sex”

Oxford: “sexually or romantically attracted to people of the same sex”

Brittanica: “sexually or romantically attracted to someone who is the same sex”

Wiktionary: “Possessing sexual and/or romantic attraction towards people one perceives to be the same sex or gender as oneself.”

be bold, start cold

…and if you’re able, warm up before you step outside. Jog on the spot, do some stretches or light bodyweight exercise, bring your extremity temperature up a bit.

I find this useful, personally, but I would like to see an additional “block and hide.”

We’re excited to announce the new Sony WH1000XM6 headphones, enhanced by the power of spanners!

I don’t see why my headphones need a sp-

Conveniently built in to your headset, you can use the spanner to adjust bolt tightness on-the-go!

Okay, but that’s not wh-

We’re proud to be leading the market in spanner-augmented products to bring a new level of convenience to your life.

…

Spanner may sometimes only appear to tighten bolts. Please don’t ask us the energy cost of manufacturing the spanner.

I’m weeping at the damage to those floorboards. Could they not have been lifted first?

There’s no safe way to answer this without giving away plot points, I don’t think. Most important thing is that it’s sci-fi, not a drama about developers in the way you might expect.
