Transformer-coupled transimpedance transistor amplifiers are also verboten.

finally a proper use case for this saying
PC culture gone mad
These are the same people that would've supported the trans-atlantic slave trade.
They should remove the transmission from their cars, just weld the engine directly to a wheel, not efficiënt but it won't turn the boys into girls.
Fascism is incredibly dangerous and destructive, but it's also SO fucking stupid.
Or are parts of it so fucking smart that it wants us to think it's stupid?
dumbfucks are using regex improperly.
they're using /.*(trans).*/ instead of /\s{1,}(trans)[- (sexual|[fe]*male)]*\s{1,}/
Maggats are basically cattle. They have animal rights but not human rights.
You are giving DOGE way too much credit for actual using code. DOGE most likely hit CRTL+F and typed in "Trans" and called it a day.
Yup. Seems that way.
The "Scunthorpe Problem" strikes again!
You really think they know regex?
They probably got grok to generate it and didn't understand what it does
Big Balls followed the golden rule of "Move fast and break things" . Shit happens!! /s
Move fast and break things works well when you're not breaking your own things
So I learned something yesterday, from someone who is in the world of research.
The trope about researchers spending most of their time applying for grants is no joke. Universities don't pay researchers; the researchers get paid from the grant money they receive. If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that's it.
So when federal grants get halted, there's a whole bunch of people who do important research basically put out of work immediately. The kicker is that a fair amount of the research being funded is ongoing research, where if you just "stop doing it," all the previous work is ruined. Because there's a lot of things you can't just stop, put on a shelf, and restart later.
Little t's war on universities is more serious than you might think.
After her latest research project got defunded by the government, my wife got 4 job offers. 3 short term projects that were perfect for her, 1 permanent contract that she didn't really want to do. She took the latter because fuck this shit.
If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that’s it.
Granted this is a best-case scenario, but the salaries for profs at my alma-mater (a public tier 1 research university) are public and I looked one of them up once. He was getting well into six-figures for teaching classes.
Yeah, from what I see, professors get their salary i.e. the money for living expenses from their teaching job. But most of the research money comes from grants. Those are usually earmarked so that they can only spend it for very specific purposes.
Edit: This is only true for people who need to run labs. For subjects like math or philosophy, professors depend less on grants since most of their work is done without significant expenses. But they still do need grants for travel and organizing conferences.
Which is why this is hilarious imagine the country threatening everyone inhibiting their own future which means they will be more dependent on the people they're threatening in the future.
The people who are making these things happen are wholly unfamiliar with consequences.
But they are speedrunning for the rapture, no consequences when they are off to heaven eh...

gack. I used to be in microbiology. This will decimate fields doing some amazing things right now.
no more transformations or trans molecules, transmission is extra banned with Brainworm believing into miasma instead of germ theory

Cis and trans are also very commonly used to describe bonds in chemistry. Cis bonds are both on the same side, trans bonds point in opposite directions (think trans-fats). That's a rudimentary explanation but the point is cis and trans have been used in the sciences long before trans people were discussed.
So silly to lose grants over, even if the research was actually about cis and trans humans.
'cis' being the opposite of 'trans' in regards to gender is literally borrowed from chemistry
Wait till they find out all their big trucks have transmissions.
Wait.. Are you telling me they WEREN'T born with those balls under the tailgate?
Man, say what you will about truck culture, and I’ll probably agree, but I fuckin’ love truck nuts. I don’t know why, I don’t think it’s just immaturity because bodily humor isn’t usually my thing. But something about truck nuts makes me laugh.
I especially love that they trigger people enough that some places ban them.
They trigger people? I thought they just served as some kind of label to certify a car is owned by a bit of an immature prick, like a Trump sticker.
I've never seen anyone triggered by them unless someone put them on their car without their consent. I'd be pretty annoyed if someone superglued that shit to my car.
I think truck nuts are tacky and stupid, but if you want them, I don't see why my opinion should matter. Now, if they were big enough that they were dragging down the street and making sparks, maybe they should be banned. I'd find that funnier than the normal style, too.
I'm considering putting truck nuts on my fiat for exactly that reason. They're just goofy and ridiculous!
I had truck nuts on my Outback. They were bright pink.

This just in, Koeningsegg Regera sales up 10000% in red states!
(it doesn't have a transmission)
(an increase of 10000% over 0 is still 0)
There are probably a few Texans that could afford it, but probably appear have the Hennessy scam car instead.

The government AI got confused
It’s A but it ain’t I
Also does a recent college intern hitting ctrl-f and delete over and over count as AI?
This is same boneheaded DOGE AI that will soon decide whether you should lose your voting rights, due process rights, or citizenship for belonging to the terrorist organization Antifa.
The actually smart AI is the one Palantir will be using to deanonymize all your posts on the internet and hand off the results to the first one.
People are losing research grants for using the words "female" and "woman" too. Not a single thought went into this list.
Time to complain on truth social to Donald.
Why is my deal proposal not answered which was send in a mail with subject: "Transactional relationship improvement by affirmation of 100 million dollars to the expression program of the Trump foundation"
Can relate: I took my car in to get the manual transmission serviced and now I'm all woke.
This is not really "mildly infuriating" and you should make the link point to the article, not to a screenshot from it.
Whoever came up with that stupid word filter and decided to follow through on it without proper human review that the filter matched what they meant to find, is pretty trans-intelligent.

This is more than mildly infuriating imo...
This just in, DOGE is fucking stupid
These motherfuckers never even learned what a prefix was in 4th grade.
