Ultrarunning Reddit is pretty silly. There's quite a lot of "Hi, I'm a non-runner thinking about becoming an ultra runner. But I don't know how to fuel or hydrate perfectly/am afraid of rhabdomyolysis." Just close your computer and start running! Ideally with other people. Go easy at first, and increase pace or distance (not both at the same time) as you gain experience.

Reading¹ my second short introduction to a programming language book this year "Janet for Mortals" janet.guide by @ianthehenryIan Henry. (janet-lang.org) is a like that can be interpreted, embedded and compiled, and comes with a large standard library with concurrency and PEG parser support. I must say it is very appealing to me.

¹ First one was "Learning Zig" openmymind.net/learning_zig

Have any of you ever transferred a sticker from one laptop (or other smooth surface) to another? My laptop case has cracked, so I'm going to use a sturdier one, though I really like my dozen-or-so stickers. Is it as simple as heating up the stickers with a hairdryer and re-applying them on the new surface, or should also I get some arts and craft kind of glue to make it hold?

I've looked at a couple of tips online that seem to indicate that's the way to go but I wonder if it's worth the hassle!

arrested🚨💔military spouses at green-card interviews. Think about that: people married to U.S. service members, following the legal process, pulled into detention. If even military families aren’t safe, then no one is.”
-A Kocher

None of the military spouses who were cited in the article, had criminal records.

I'm looking for other trans people born in the UK who live abroad, who applied for a GRC and got denied with a request for documentation that is nonexistent or otherwise impossible to obtain, despite living in an approved country/state.

I'm a UK citizen who transitioned while living in an approved territory. I obtained a court order in July 2024 that legally changed my name, with gender transition explicitly stated as the (mandatory) reason for change, and was used in conjunction with a doctor's letter to update the name and gender marker on my my driver's license - this represents the complete legal gender recognition process available in that state.

The Gender Recognition Panel has now requested additional "evidence of a change of gender in an approved country or territory" beyond what I've already provided. The problem: as a UK citizen born in the UK, I cannot obtain a US birth certificate from any state. The court order and state ID are the only documents that exist.
The GRP appears to expect documentation (like amended birth certificates) that only exists for people born in those territories, not for UK citizens who obtained recognition there.

As I no longer live in the UK and would not return under any circumstances given the current government, I do not have a UK doctor, so there appears to be literally no way it would be possible for me to have a correct birth certificate.

I'm exploring legal action and it would strengthen the case significantly if this is a systemic issue affecting multiple people.

You can either reply or message me privately here, or if you would rather, DM me for my discord or signal contact info.

The “Door to Hell” or Darvaza Gas Crater, located in Karakum Desert of Turkmenistan 🇹🇲. It’s a massive, fiery pit 70m wide and 30m deep, which has been burning continuously since 1971.

The crater was formed when Soviet geologists drilling for natural gas accidentally caused ground to collapse, releasing methane gas. To prevent spread of toxic gas, they set it ablaze, expecting it to burn out in a few days. However, fire has persisted for over five decades due to vast underground gas reserves.
