I'm not blaming it on misogyny. I thought I was very clear that "medical misogyny" is a commonly used term, and was very specific on the definition. Also, in this sibling comment thread[1] to yours I discussed with haldujai w

Agreed. Disability, physical as well as intellectual. Age. Neuroatypicallity. The list goes on. Honestly, I think when you're facing any sort of potentially serious health issue you need a wingman coming to the appointments with you. S

Yep. Humans are gonna do human things anywhere you find them. > FYI I’m not American. Whoops. Guess that was an assumption on my part. Here I am, doing human things…

> This is a loaded UK-centric policy/humanities term Yes, the implication of animus is the chief reason for my dislike of the term. The main failing of most alternatives is they don't roll off the tongue as easily or succinctly

> including an appalling “it’s all in your head” from her family MD at the time Oof. That one resonates so much for me - even living in a country with far better healthcare. There's a term I dislike but is apt: medical misogyny. Bas

I know some authors in particular never, ever want to be sent story ideas. The potential of being accused of or sued for plagiarism down the track for something even vaguely similar is non-zero.

That's a common misquotation of 1 Timothy 6:10 from the bible, which is that the love of money is the root of all evil. Not to get theological, but I reckon it's an important and informative distinction. Here's a link to th

Allergies are weird. I definitely became more sensitive to hay fever after a gastric bypass. I have a friend who for no apparent reason developed strong allergies in their sixties. Particularly to goats milk. So much so that they will not g

Well Kodi will do that for you for free! Even better, if your subtitle is labelled "English SDH" instead of just "English", when you enable subtitles it helpfully picks the first foreign language subtitle track instead —

My problem is I thoroughly learned HTML twenty years ago and am only incidentally aware of how it has changed and improved since. Doubly so for CSS.

“Ever since I learned about confirmation bias I’ve been seeing it everywhere!” The raging, “I don’t like this, so it must have been written by an LLM!” comments on HN have gotten so tiresome that I find when I see them I just down-vote them

I don’t like humans throwing accusations that something was written by an LLM if they don’t like it. The constant insinuations that us machines are the ones with poor taste is fookin’ tiresome.

I'm still using Mercurial whenever I can (including work!). The Tortoisehg GUI is good for doing reviews, and the command line is comfortable. I grew up on CVS and then Subversion. Played with Bazaar a little, mainly because it could u

When I tried Fossil it had things weirdly separated. I was expecting when I make a commit, I would have the facility to specify what issues it addressed and it would close them for me automatically. It seemed there is so much opportunity th
