They do/can, but it’s not like you physically look like the opposite gender the moment that you decide you were assigned the wrong gender. People will give you looks or get upset if you look like a dude barging into the women’s toilets, so (from what I’ve heard) it’s a struggle during the transition period where you feel like you belong in one place but society wants you in another. Unisex toilets make this easy. I’m not familiar with toilets specifically reserved for trans people but I assume unisex is what’s being referred to

I mean, yes, but I’d add the qualifier “so long as it doesn’t impact others”. If you want to dump your trash in a communal area, it’s imo a bit too easy to say that it’s a free country and who am I to tell you not to do that. Maybe this sounds too obvious to spell out (to me it would have until recently) but I recently met two persons in unrelated places who really felt that nobody should tell them what to do because they didn’t tell anyone else what to do either. As if we don’t all share resources on this planet

Usually about 25 of the 30 questions in the voting adviser. I don’t care if some party wants to take budget from primary schools and stick it in kindergartens instead or if we fund the F35 or whatever. I’m not a military plane expert nor work in educational finance but these are literally the questions they select to use as basis for your vote. Dudes, ask an expert! They’ll probably tell you “don’t know, but we can do a scale study to see which way works better”

Whatever topic I know has a reasonable expectation of making more people sustainably happy is what I click, and then usually it tells me I haven’t clicked enough answers for it to produce voting advice…

Most ‘current hot topics’ are either unknowable with current information, or just wholly irrelevant to bigger problems like when we’re going to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions and stop discriminating people

Fwiw I do this in three languages. It’s not just English. It’s literally all spelled and pronounced partner and means partner. Somehow even the connotations stayed intact. There’s probably more languages that I don’t regularly speak that have it too

Small note: versifft afaik has a strong connotation that drenched does not have, so the translation sounds to me almost neutral whereas it’s more like “filthy left-green-like” (or something — translations are hard!)

Tried to help someone who has a stalker and no tech literacy and everything (email, photos, documents, everything) in a Google account that the stalker can access. Got nowhere because Google doesn’t let her control her own account, she sees spies everywhere by now (bad translation of an “open source licenses” menu sounded like “connected third parties” and she screenshotted page upon page of mysterious names) and can’t live her life, and there is no new phone to start fresh on or other options to get this cleaned up without nuking the remaining data further. Felt defeated, but maybe there’s another chance next week (the computer help sessions are weekly, people often don’t come back if we didn’t immediately find a solution). I’m going to be prepared for the next time someone has an issue like this 💪

We are 2 persons and use 1/10th of that. Since it doesn’t scale linearly (things like heating the kitchen happens only once no matter how many people move in), it sounds like enough energy for a household of more than 20 people, and while we heat mostly on gas (about 15% of our usage is supplementary resistive heating), everything else from showering to cooking is on electricity, so depending on your setup and climate, 80 kWh/day could supply a household of way more than 20 people

They didn’t mention charging an EV and say everything besides AC and the clothes dryer runs on gas, so it’s either an uninsulated medieval castle size building retrofitted with a heat pump, or something is shorted to ground

They bake on gas there. The only things that use electricity is air conditioning and clothes dryer they wrote in the OP
