It has since come to light that Judge Tan Ikram, who allowed this dangerous man to pass of [sic] the threat of violence against women as nothing more than a joke, is a ‘Diversity specialist’ and a contributor to the ‘Equal Treatment Courts Benchbook’.
The stuff was used from the 50s to the 90s: don’t think carbon had anything to do with the reasons for it.
The red calf thing?

It is outrageous that crime statistics are being skewed by police and courts recording men such as Dominic Carter as women when they commit sex crimes. Let’s close this loophole now. Men that perpetrate acts of sexual violence and abuse must never be allowed to hide behind a gender-identity smokescreen.
Using a transgender identity in court as a mitigation in sex crime cases is the very opposite of what should happen. There should be an assumption that any man charged with sex offences who subsequently self-identifies as a woman should be questioned about his ulterior motives.

The Ayatollahs believe in an extreme Islamist ideology in which a devastating world war will pre-empt the coming of the Mahdi, or 12th Imam, who has been concealed by God until the end times.
They believe that when the world is in flames, this Messianic figure will emerge. He will assemble a group of 313 trusted lieutenants who will wage war on the infidels, and rule the globe in 313 cantons after their victory.
The principal obstacle to the coming of the Mahdi, they believe, is the existence of Israel and the Jews. And the three pillars of their campaign are nuclear weapons, overseas militia and an arsenal of ballistic missiles. Make no mistake: they have a strategy and they are pursuing it. Within this worldview – which appears absurd to the secular western mind – it is entirely rational to wage nuclear war on the Jewish state. After all, that way lies the Messiah.
You’d think he could afford a dress that fitted him so that he didn’t need to keep hoisting it up. Almost like it was designed for some sort of differently shaped body.
Are you aware of Repair Cafes? Might that be an option? There seem to be a two or three in Oslo.
Who is your target audience? I think this is something that is most likely to appeal to older people, and they’re likely to be suspicious about letting a stranger into their house.
“I am an expert” is very arrogant in BrEng but may work in Norway.
“Too many machines, not enough people” is also glib.
I’d say something more like “I’m good with technology and can help you with computers, printers and TVs in exchange for a cup of tea and a chat: I spend most of my time around machines, but I like to meet people and hear about their lives”. But, again, that’s a UK filter.

It was, but less so in combination with the cup of tea.
I would add “and a chat” back in.
This is good stuff: the cold-weather crops are loving it, and the ornamentals.
It was 40F last night, that’s what decided me.
Make it even easier for the Dog Poo Fairy to tidy up after you!
nostr:npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm I've had huge improvements since I got serious about composting.
This is a brand new garden, mix of good topsoil and well-rotted manure, plus mycorrhizal powder.
It’s just been a terrible summer weather-wise and I’m marginal for things like outdoor tomatoes anyway.
Glad to see you here and safe!
Behold, my mighty tomato harvest!
(And some beetroot and a turnip. Oh look, it started raining.)
I’ve given up on the squash and outdoor tomatoes, and put cold-season greens like pak choi in their place.
Still picking peas, though!

The documents cite two X platform accounts as belonging to al-Ghamdi. Human Rights Watch found that the first account had two followers and the second had eight. Both accounts, which have fewer than 1,000 tweets combined, largely contained retweets of well-known critics of the Saudi government.
The charging document cites as evidence several tweets criticizing the Saudi royal family, and at least one calling for the release of Salman al-Awda, a prominent cleric facing a possible death sentence on various vague charges related to his political statements, associations, and positions, and of other prominent imprisoned Islamic scholars.
Al-Ghamdi does not consider himself a political or human rights activist, said those with knowledge of the case. He maintains that he is a private citizen who merely expressed some concerns about the Saudi government over the X platform, they said.
