@benroyce @dgar Those who also confuse an epesiotomy are a cut below the rest.

@courtcan @bytebro @pooserville @Nonilex Agreed. And it is no excuse - at least not for someone who wants to be in a position of authority. I think a lot of his followers have the same problems.

We should laugh at them. Not out of cruelty, but becasue the idea that they are qualified for leadership positions is laughable.

Weirdos.

@courtcan @bytebro @pooserville @Nonilex If it helps - I am trying to use "Weirdo" which is more personal than just "being weird".

I am weird. They are wierdos.

@Melissabeartrix Acceptance is tricky to define - I have always accepted you.

But what has changed is a combination of a) knowing anrd interating with many more of you. Which is not deliberate - just that I spend my time in trans-friendly places, and refuse to spend my time in trans-phobic spaces.

also b) the anti trans rhetoric has shown me what trans people are facing, and so has - ironically - made me listen more to what you are saying.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat My problem is that I use C#, and we have to make InternalsVisibleTo. Which made her throw up.

Anyway, she replied "Ya Basic" so then I could Friend her.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Both of them dying before November might be the best option.

@n0madz @SallyStrange @bookstodon

10 authors, of whose books I've read at least five:

Terry Pratchett
Douglas Adams
Iain M. Banks
John Wyndham
JRR & Christopher Tolkien
Isaac Asimov
Neil Gaiman
Robert Jordan

I am now struggling. There are quite a few others who I have read a few of, but I cannot get any more that I have read more than 5 of!

@clacksee @bookstodon Starship teapot book? I am in the UK.

It sounds weird, which is exactly my bag.

@ryanc @aris But if you do threat modelling properly, you do that. You identify the sort of people who might want to gain access.and why.

I see your point about making them easier to understand, but I worry that they can be too simple.

Also so often, a threat model identifies areas of threat. The threat actors can and will change. Security dev always needs to be flexible and changeable - in weeks/months, not years.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Just stop calling it a crisis and then it is solved!

It is a manufactured situation situation, so un-manufacture it.

@thomasfuchs 90 quid!!!!

I would so like to read it, and am surprised I didn't find it in my research time (when I could have borrowed it from a library!).

Maybe I will find it second hand somewhere at a reasonable price.

@Geri And she pretty well did, I think.

Unlike the Westminster mob.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious I do hope they are both OK. The last thing we need is more royal funerals to distract us from what the 1% are doing to this country.

@me I did have an identity on Twitter which was ItMe for a while. So I obviously had to follow you here.

@HistoPol @MaJ1 @DoubleTreble @weirdfolks Tim is a techy. We use acronyms like water.

We do not explain them.

We do not document them.

We happily change the meaning of them over time.

We gleefully reuse acronyms to mean completely unrelated things.

(I have worked in the medical field and now am in publishing. I swim in acronyms. Sometimes I drown in them)

@DoubleTreble @HistoPol @MaJ1 @weirdfolks Deep Clean a washing machine?

So, you get a washing machine washing machine and set it on "deep".

Regular maintenance - cleaning filters and checking outlets - that makes sense.

@dgar I was foing to do one about Cobalt, Flourine and Iron, but then I went to get a CoFFe instead.

@aral Totally. He doesn't want lords and peasants. He wants lord and peasants.

@sinabhfuil I can see how this idea arose - some people are there just for monitoring. That could be done remotely.

Except if anything happens, they need treatment - that is why they are being monitored.

When you understand the implications, it is obviously stupid.

@sinabhfuil @kinyutaka @korreckj328 @Nazani @CultureDesk @bookstodon Abraham was prepared to sacrifice his own son. Lot offered his daughters.

Jephthah - the first thing that comes out of my house to greet me I will offer to the Lord: It was his daughter.
