The start menu with sizeable tiles would be a nice feature to get back. That and the expandable start menu. It was so convenient. I could put all my apps on there and get to them easily. Now there are a limited number of spaces, and those groups where I have to click twice to get the program I want aren't great.
are kinda meh. Never understood the appeal. I like cars. Lower to the ground, more stable, more fuel efficient. SUVs are like small trucks with their cargo inside the cab instead of outside.

Yeah that is what I understood it as; so if you want to just play it for a short time you can subscribe, if you play it all the time you can buy.
Charging infrastructure will be essential for EV adoption going forward.
"One construction contractor said Tesla staffers contacting his company since the layoffs “don’t know a thing.” The contractor said he had expected Supercharger projects to provide about 20% of his 2024 revenue but now plans to diversify to avoid relying on Tesla."
That's not a good sign.
Here's a lecture from the University of Illinois on the economics of constructing a nuclear reactor (from 2019):

The 5 year time frame looks about right. Some countries were good at building these and got them done a little quicker.
...I'm in. Hopefully it's something portable like the switch.
> Flashing or raping or molesting or peeping is a crime, and those people should be arrested, and will be arrested even without laws to close the "loophole" as you put it. In cases where such behavior isn't happening, then your only reason for making their bathroom use illegal is that it makes you feel icky, and that's just not a good enough reason to put someone in jail or subject people to harassment or other mistreatment.
Yes those things are crimes, but why give the opportunity? Why allow the risk? How easily can this be prosecuted after the fact? Can they find the perpetrator? What about the victim that has been assaulted? How can the victim be made whole?
If you remove some of the risk, the possibility, the opportunity, you can create a place of safety (which already exists in many cases), and if that comes at the expense of some guy's feelings that likes to wear dresses and cosplay as a woman then I think that is a fair trade. All these guys that want to use the women's washroom are only thinking about themselves. Their feelings, their 'rights'. What about the women? What about their rights? We wouldn't like to subject these people (women) to harassment or other mistreatment, after all.
> This comment brought to you by Saudi Arabia and it's supporters. Meanwhile developed modern societies have stopped giving a shit.
More people than you realize care that there are segregated spaces where their grandmothers, mothers, daughters, nieces, aunts, and sisters can have a private place to do their business without men nearby.
Think about this. Girl is at bar. She's getting hassled by some guy. Not sure what to do, excuses herself to the washroom, a safe space for women only. Now she can grab her phone and call a friend...oh no! She can't get away because the guy followed her in, and no one in the bar thought anything of it. After all thegarbz and his ilk have decided that a modern developed society doesn't need that sort of separation.
"Objectively incorrect"
Women are females. Men are males. Most people have this figured out prior to finishing kindergarten.
I am aware of the term gender, and it isn't relevant for any of my comments.

> From my perspective, the entire reason for these laws comes down to a bizarre American fetish with keeping men and women apart, a fetish that causes substantial psychological harm for a lot of people
A bizarre American fetish. Wow.

"Also, gender segregated toilets that are located in convenient, safe locations at school can protect girls from violence and assault. Women and girls are often vulnerable to harassment or violence when they must use shared toilets or are forced to go to the bathroom outside. In one survey of schoolgirls in South Africa, for example, more than 30% reported having been raped at school; often these incidences occurred in school toilets that were either shared or in unsafe, isolated locations. Such violence is a major deterrent to school attendance, not to mention a girl’s self-esteem and desire to learn."
Let girls have their space, where is your sense of decency?

Have a look at this one. It is more recent, so I can understand why many haven't seen it, yet.
We're on Slashdot. We're nerds. I don't have a medical degree, but I know when I grew up that kids didn't aspire to cut off their genitals to maximize their happiness in life. The whole trans phenomenon is like anorexia was when I was younger.
Not saying that it is the only factor, but having a culture of only affirmation leads people down a path where saying "I think I am making a mistake" is discouraged. Chloe Cole is an example of where things went too far.
I am happy to disagree with doctors and the major medical orgs on this. Men cannot be women, and women cannot be men. A man without testicles isn't a woman, he's a eunuch.

Many such cases. These men have their supporters, and you sound incensed that I would call it out. Thanks for proving my point.
The Alzheimer's analogy implies that being inclusive is necessary because the people affected have such a badly damaged brain that you need to humor them to spare their feelings from one moment to the next.
If there is a schizophrenic that is convinced they are hearing voices, is it better to go along with that delusion, or offer them some help? What if the voices are terrifying them? What if the person is thinking about taking drugs and committing self harm, or signing up for life changing surgery to cope with their illness? We used to say no to that sort of thing.
This is not a troll comment, even though it has been moderated that way.
This comment reflects what many people have been too afraid to voice.
Men in female attire are infiltrating women's spaces and the supporters of these men are incensed that anyone would call it out.
It's a social contagion and fetish that has gone too far.
Women cannot be men, and men cannot be women.
A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.
