Teaching people excel:

Windows on an external drive isn’t officially supported if I remember right. Your screenshot seems to support that.

Honestly, I’d be leery of installing an OS on an external drive as they tend not to age well with heavy use.

Are you trying to necro a laptop with a dead drive? If so, depending on the model, it might just be worth replacing the internal drive so then you can go ahead with your dual boot plan.

Also, quick tip, install windows, then disable fast startup in windows, then disable safeboot in your bios. Otherwise, when it comes time to install mint, you might hit issues with windows saying “NO, MY DRIVE”.

If you install mint and get no grub screen, just boot mint with your live usb and look up repairing grub - should be nice and easy.

It’s risk vs harm:

Men suffer from higher risk (non-consensual alimony, scams, and catfishing (etc) are all too damn common) but lower harm (these are all nasty, but manageable if you look after yourself and follow basic safety).

Women suffer from lower risk (violent men are not as common as the media makes out) but much higher harm (sorry but dead or trapped in physical abuse trumps the lot, not much you can do to protect against these).

Psychology says the women are going to be a lot more cautious (we fear big losses with low odds more than small losses with high odds).

Gents, just take it on the nose that cautious ladies are playing a smart numbers game. Ladies, make sure to make it up to the gents later on in the relationship (we love chocolates too, especially the “sorry I suspected you of murder” kind).

What a terrible day to be literate.

Interesting - time to go poke one of the politics lecturers and see what ramifications they had.

To the average person on the street their lack would likely mean little, though I’ll miss the interesting coin designs of the pound.

I hear this point a fair bit, could you elaborate more on these special treatments (I know about opting out of the euro, but that’s about it).

Definitely checks out.

Yep, because it was never about protecting the children ;)

I COMPLETELY AGREE - THIS ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

Imgur blocking is a bit of a pain - half the mods in steam are missing images in their description.

The online safety act also means we get to submit ID to view anything construed as “adult”. Very “av you got a loiscencse for that” these days without a VPN.

Clearly they gave every last fuck they could about that code.

Fair play to you - it just comes off that way.

Each post that hits my feed makes me think “wow, sexism is alive and well”. Glad to hear it isn’t just all rage bait.

Eh, I only ever see that community when a bait post makes it to the front page.

Honestly, I just assumed it was a really elaborate troll group and didn’t bother engaging.

How GLaDOS would hurt us now: Portal 2 turns 15 next year.

When you’re young you experience the world, when you get older you keep the world working for the young to experience it, and when you’re old you wish you’d made it work better so you could’ve really experienced it.

Erm…

I think there are errors on both parts here…

1.9/170 is about 1.1176%. 4 decimal places is still an unacceptable level of rounding here, but it’sa damn sight better than 0/1 decimal place. Both of you were off on this.

It is definitely right to split rape and sexual assault, they’re very different crimes - combining them is double counting which is a poor faith tactic used to inflate numbers.

1.1176% per year DEFINITELY does not translate directly to that for a lifetime. To put it into context, if you have a 1% chance of being shot each day (assuming BINS) you have a [(0.99)^365]*100% (or 2.6%) of not being shot at all that year - note binomial is not appropriate for rape odds calculations but it’s a nice example of how low odds per year DO NOT translate to low odds per lifetime.

Self report is absolute garbage - it’s the worst form of stat gathering and often leads to socially advantageous answers being given. Using self-report stats as a keystone to an argument is dangerous at best.

The “known rapist” is a tricky one, as it depends how you define rape. Sex under the influence of alcohol you later regret - tricky to place in the at home (you knew them enough to go home with) vs stranger (did you really know them). While it’s nice to give clear cut numbers, this isn’t a clear cut scenario.

Seems to me you both care about this topic - sounds to me like you should both go data hunting and explore the topic together. Two opposing perspectives makes a great paper, and you generally learn more!

My two cents - being alone with someone is always risky. Trying to assign which is riskier (men or women) is foolish, it creates the dynamic of “men vs women” rather than the desired “everyone vs rapists”.
