I was going to start a new thread for this but thought it might upset a few people, so iā€™ll bury it here instead. This isnā€™t a ā€˜what about men thoughā€™ thread, just to get that out of the way up front.

FGM is an issue with a pretty high profile, and rightly so, but why does no one talk about ā€˜MGMā€™?

According to the NHS website ā€œFGM is a procedure where the female genitals are deliberately cut, injured or changed, but where thereā€™s no medical reason for this to be doneā€. How does this differ from circumcision on boys?

Do ā€˜weā€™ just not like one because itā€™s mainly propagated by non-white people? Is it some kind of societal gender paradox where ā€˜weā€™ care more about FGM because it affects the more ā€˜vulnerableā€™ sex?

Hey, Marckee, you know you whack a deposit down when you get a mortgage, what happens if you sell a house and donā€™t buy another one, do you get the deposit back?

#241

This shows a fundamental lack of knowledge in house purchasing!

(can I answer? yes you do unless you sell the house for less than you bought it for, difference between and what you have paid off etc)

#242

wtf

What ā€˜problemā€™ do autonomous vehicles solve? I work in smart city related policy and see a lot of ā€˜coolā€™ tech, and autonomous vehicles are quite fun. I had a go in one once, and I just couldnā€™t work out what the point of it was. Itā€™s an area the UK government has invested loads of money into and theyā€™re keen to be see globally as a leader in this kind of tech, but is it just innovation for innovationā€™s sake?

#244

Tell me about it!

Thanks for answering.

#245

Are these driverless cars? Surely safer, more efficient, etc?

#246

Essentially you will 100% get it back, plus what you have paid off and however much it has gone up (less fees). Unless the housing market collapses.

You mean ritual circumcision, right? There are sometimes medical justifications for the procedure.

FGM often involves procedures that need to be forcefully, or surgically reversed, plus thereā€™s are the structural directions of oppression that exist, I guess.

#248

hey marckee, Iā€™ve been quoted 960 for that whole wall shelf, not including materials. Going cupboards at the base with shelves on top - that sound reasonable?

Successful (!) autonomous vehicles would address the safety failures of human error. They would allow people to work while travelling. With ride-sharing, they may reduce the number of vehicles necessary on the roads and the storage required to keep them. With sophisticated sat-nav is may be possible to spread out traffic flows and keep them away from residential streets. With automated delivery and collection services it may be possible to phase deliveries so that their contribution to pollution and congestion is reduced.

They are not a panacea to vehicular urban blight though - they still pollute, they will still divide communities, and they are still a very inefficient way of moving a single occupant.

Without knowing the details, yeah, maybe?

It could easily take a week to put it all together.

#251

I thought so. Would definitely take a week as he is going to do all the painting etc as well

#252

@marckee how doable do you think my SW coast walk plan is? which would be the best month to do it in? (within july-oct)

#253

Depends how much walking youā€™re doing already.

30 miles a day for 21 days out of 28 is a lot.

If you want to avoid the crowds, avoid August, and avoid when it starts to get dark too early.

#254

iā€™d definitely have to start training now, reckon i could do about half that in a day as it is. good shout about crowds. i think september would maybe be good. thank you for your valuable insight.
