🎓 Dr. Freemo 🇳🇱 @freemo@social.cleverlibre.org

I am always impressed by the insane over the top work ethic that Mexican Migrants have. I hired a new maid to clean my home, she was half the price of most of the other ones on the site, which I like because then I can give very generous tips... Not knowing I was going to tip well she even brings her sister at no extra cost (keep in mind they are working hourly here)...

Best cleaning job I ever saw, took half the time because I had an extra person for free, and at half the price to boot. Can't wait till they see the 200% tip I gave them :)

@PacificNic

So you are basically telling me you adopted the worst behavior of trolls... you want applause for that?

@oblomov @eniko

@GeePawHill

How would focusing on the public rather than the jury help? The jury doesnt interact with the public so wouldnt that be short sighted and ultimately lead to a greater chance of loosing?

@futurebird

@flexghost Probably more so to ensure that a mistrial isnt appealed and Trump gets let off... If they make too many exceptions to the usual procedures expected in a court case like that they would make that possibility more of a reality.

What is your favorite handgun caliber for self-defense?

@LeftLane

Congratulations, so happy for you!

Was this in 2015? What country or state we talking about?

@Tierno158 That cant be true... if that were true someone would have witnessed it and have some proof!

@mandlebro

Thats fair.

I agree, most instances, even large one, that have frivilous defederation policies arent really worth federating with. I always say they do you a favor when the defederate most of the time so you dont have to get dragged into the toxicity that their users are usually amplifying.

@admitsWrongIfProven

@BeAware

depends how you define "most of the bigger servers".. for M.S and for many of the servers run by Stux, and quite a few reasonable big servers this is absolutely the truth... that said there are lots of servers that are quite large that absolutely will block simply based on you federate with (mastodon.art is a prime example of this)

@admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

They do, but its easily solved by just making your block list private.

The bigger issue is that it is not uncommon for people to block instances **solely** on the basis of it being a single user instance. I've seen this happen a few times.

@miramarvess

Oh, on that we agree, both parties have offered up pretty shit candidates... Luckily we have quite a few options beyond those two parties, and yea, pretty much every other person ont he ballot outside of those two is a much better choice every year.

@georgetakei

@angelobottone and i am saying how you identify someone is a fubdementally linguistic question. Remove language from the discussion then what are you even discussing? Soubds like your trying to force gender (a linguistic thing) i to meaning sex, which is not gender (though does have meaning beyond language).

@angelobottone they also arent universal. Many languages have no concept of gender at all.

@angelobottone gender identity and gramatical gender arent seperate things. Gramatical gender is the use of terms like "he, she, they" which are ways of describing someones gender identity. If a person dresses and presents as masculine then by definition then masculine grammar is what we use.

@angelobottone Man and woman arent the only choices in other cultures... Most cultures have three genders, masculine, feminine, and neuter. Keep in mind gender does not mean the same thing as sex of course.

At least 13 languages around the world have more than 3 genders

Several languages have gender systems that dont relate to sex at all as well, for example animate vs inanimate or common vs neuter type languages.

@SteelFolk Yes, too much carbon is bad of course. Steel is carbon doped but we are usually talking like 1% carbon or less. In fact more than something like 0.5% carbon content is considered high carbon steel if memory serves.

@johnabs @SteelFolk You asked about its true color (reddish) not its apparent color (dark blue).

Searching for the blue tint is going to be hard since most hits are non scientific. Also you have to make sure you are looking for the apparent color and not real color.

You can find a source here: https://www.webmineral.com/data/Hematite.shtml

Under "Reflected color" it describes hematite as "White to gray white, with a bluish tint, with deep blood-red internal reflections."
