I read that book about 30 years ago! I didn't remember the eye-scanning gargoyle, but for some reason I still remember the phrase "Ultima Ratio Regum" from the nuclear powered gun.

The poor old White Scars were put out of reach for me by GWs old Tip-Ex-like white paint. Despite what the guides might have said, there is no way that the models were base-coated with the Skull White of the time.

I don't think the word needs to imply a creator necessarily.

"Clouds are created when water vapour in the air condenses".

"Black holes are created when giant stars collapse".

I'll concede that going on to question political motive implies a creator, though.

I assume you're talking about the Unifying feature.

I've got no direct experience, but there are a few people who say that despite Firefox not being listed as supported, it works fine.

As for the spying, I can see how that could be a concern, but I don't think it's too likely.

For convenience, I'm guessing they're using a web interface to the settings in the same way that your router does. They've made a Chrome plugin, so that's probably the route they want you to take because they know it works.

Logitech is a global brand, an they'd get into a lot of trouble in a lot of countries if they were gathering keypress data etc.

I love Edith Pritchett's stuff!

That's absolutely fine. If you want to be wrong, that's your right.

I'm sorry if this offends you.

I wish I had your confidence that capitalism can be tweaked into a fair system.

I honestly think the logical end point to capitalism is self-destructive extreme wealth disparity.

Sorry pal, it's not me creating these "new" definitions of words. Take it up with the Gender Studies bods who are literal experts in this field.

No one is getting hurt because of factual logical opposition. Trans women are not real women. This is a biological fact.

Sorry, wrong on two counts.

Although they've been used interchangeably, because typically they align, sex and gender are two separate concepts. I'm sorry if this offends you.

Trans women are women (gender), although they are not biologically female (sex).

These are facts. I'm sorry if this offends you.

Tbh, it seems like you're the main party here sticking their fingers in their ears. If someone has already identified Lemmy as a place that doesn't welcome their prejudices, then would they still post that stuff here?

Look, I'll be helpful. If you want to dunk on trans people, go to Mumsnet - that place has turned into TERF Central.

Where did you go?

Each time or cumulatively?

I'm seeing a lot of international messages getting this wrong, so this is how you refer to the Prime Minister of the UK.

First, we normally refer to the PM just by name, like anyone else. So, "Keir Starmer" or "Mr Starmer".

"Prime Minister" is not used as a title like "President" is. He's not "Prime Minister Starmer". He's just "the Prime Minister" or "the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer".

Unusually, this new PM is also a knight. Of course, this has its own rules.

If you want to use this title, it's not quite as simple as replacing "Mr" with "Sir'. The first name is more important than the surname here. He's not "Sir Starmer". He's "Sir Keir Starmer" or "Sir Keir".

Hope it helps!

 

Hi,

I've recently bought my first EV - a 2014 Nissan Leaf - and hoping someone a bit more knowledgeable than me could help :)

The car itself has a Type 1 and CHAdeMo socket.

I have a Type 2 to Type 1 charging cable and a separate adapter plug, but I've found that some charging stations have Tesla branding and weird two-part plugs on that don't seem to fit.

In the interests of being able to use as many charging stations as possible, I'd really like to know which adapter would be most useful to buy!

(I've mentioned UK in the title, as I'm aware America likes to do its own thing when it comes to plugs.)

Any help would be really appreciated!
