It’s very short and perpendicular to the skin. It feels like velvet.

Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

Dr. Bob@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If someone where to use the term "Adult Playground", what would you think it describes?English6·5 days agoAlcohol availability and a series of fun activities that would accommodate chilling with friends or opportunities to meet and mingle.
It’s more important to him to criticize the government. If he got briefed he’d realize he’s talking out his ass most of the time.
Dr. Bob@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•European Union floats ‘zero-for-zero’ tariff resolution to remove industrial fees on US goods: ‘Ready for a good deal’English55·2 months agoThis is the same trade deal that the EU negotiated with Obama. Trump refused to sign in 2017. They are only offering him what was on the table 8 years ago and he refused. Calm down already.

When I was in grad school I mentioned to the department chair that I frequently saw a mis-citation for an important paper in the field. He laughed and said he was responsible for it. He made an error in the 1980s and people copied his citation from the bibliography. He said it was a good guide to people who cited papers without reading them.
How is this useful? Shouldn’t the female be deaf - or is there something about mosquito mating I don’t understand.
Chemists have moved away from cis and trans partly because of all of this. We use zusammen-together or entgegen-opposite now. I can attest to how politically charged a class about organic molecules can become.
I am not deeply versed on the socio-cultural side of it all, and there is clearly space to learn. I am reluctant to let cis hinge on a doctor’s proclamation but I’ll let it sit there for the moment.
I also have a PhD. Not in genomics but in physiology. But we all do genetic work now.
The Dr. says that XX persons can become cis men. “CIS men” is explicitly about gender. I was trying to make the point (not very well as it turns out) that all of this hinges on definitions. So you have to unpack CIS men in this context. Without a sound understanding of the basics, all the rest is supposition.
And the gender identity and expression parts have nothing to do with gene expression, penetrance (giggity), DNA, RNA or epigenetic factors in gene expression.
Also the better example for the counter argument would probably be CAIS.
I can try. The cis part means the person’s naughty bits are aligned with their gender identity. The male is their gender identity. So post-bottom surgery it’s perfectly possible. If you use different definitions for concepts though you will have difficulty making it work.
None of this has anything to do with the claimed PhD in genomics though. These are socio-cultural concepts. So they should stick their PhD where it belongs and address the arguments head on instead of trying to argue from authority.

Is there a spelling mistake?
Dr. Bob@lemmy.cato Programming@programming.dev•Back with an update on my FOSS calorie tracker!English2·3 months agoThat’s me! I’ve been looking for exactly something like this but don’t have the knowledge to build from source.
Dr. Bob@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•"The insultingly low salary you would have accepted is still too high."English14·4 months agoHoly shit that’s low. I was asking for £35k in 2004 for a technical role. They wanted to pay 17.
Dr. Bob@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•"The insultingly low salary you would have accepted is still too high."English2·4 months agoI was a civil servant. The hiring bands were pretty wide well defined there, at least for technical specialists like yours truly. The 50-60% of max range is considered developmental and would normally be given to an internal candidate who was being groomed as part of a succession plan. 60-80% is the sweet spot, and they will go to 90% for an exceptional candidate. Only once in my career did I negotiate 100% of max - and it was because I was taking a pay cut in the new role. I was changing jurisdictions because I was ( and still am) in love.
Dr. Bob@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•"The insultingly low salary you would have accepted is still too high."English53·4 months ago100% this. This is pretty classy. We are typically told to not even contact external candidates. HR will send them the impersonal notice.
