So as far as I can tell the rule for deciding if a french word is feminine is "does it end with an e".

There are exceptions and French people claim that's not how it works, but it is an incredibly useful heuristic

Ha, this is actually pretty far from what I usually listen to so it's even more appreciated. πŸ™‚

100 gecs are pretty good, although I have only heard a few tracks of theirs so far. (hand crushed by a mallet, money machine) I will give them a proper listen tomorrow

What kind of genre would you frost children or 100gecs in?

Thanks for linking this, I have just gone on a massive frost children binge and listened to everything they have on Spotify.

Of course; the post is calling out people like Eskimofry for lazy unfounded pessimism so they are going to reach for the same lazy unfounded dismissal in an attempt to deflect that criticism

The Hamas and IDF aligned telegram channels have both been remarkably consistent about cheering when about our munitions landing in their territory and decrying the reverse.

The threat of international condemnation and the less hawkish members of the Israeli government and electorate.

Predictably the rate at which civilians in Gaza are bombed by Israel went up not down after Hamas' acts of terrorism the other week.

Even if you believe that the Israeli government is ontologically evil; serving them up causus belli to bomb and potentially invade Palestinian lands does not constitute "preventing Palestinians from being exterminated", rather it actively helps them hastens the process

Makes sense, the code-points split is stable; meaning it's fine to put in the standard library, the grapheme split changes every year so the volatility is probably better off in a crate.
