Yeah this is a matter of making it fail safe. A refrigerator that isn’t operating at food preservation temperatures (and freezing temperatures in the freezer) is dangerous.

Appliances related to safety such as refrigerators and temperature control need to have a safe position they can fail to when their logic is confused.

How? They were quite clear and not subtle

Fuck zuck. Of course a pathetic man like him would fight feminism as soon as he felt comfortable doing so

Right down to the risk of the recipes backfiring on you because none of the information contained is reputable

All of this needs to be illegal, but piggybacking especially does. Circumventing the will of the end user (aka the person who should be considered the owner) as for what the product in their possession, home, and use does shouldn’t be tolerated

If I’ve already bought it I won’t even hesitate to pirate it.

Oof, suppressing discussion of trans issues and mental health will go very badly for some teenagers

As an extrovert, please let me work from home. It’ll save me a commute so I can spend more time with people I like

Please gods it would be so funny

Yeah, it’s a physically and emotionally brutal recovery process. I’m grateful I did it, but I also don’t really think you can be fully prepared for it. And if your daughter has an opiate allergy be aware that makes it harder. Idk if I’ve ever been in more physical pain than the first week. You’re exhausted, in pain, may have been off your hormones for a month and your junk looks like a wreck and doesn’t work and you’re terrified of if it’s going to heal right. And much like how fully healing is long and slow, so is getting through the difficult part.

And yeah I get where you’re coming from and assume you’re pushing to help her become more functional if possible. And while I understand your fears and worries relating to your involvement, it’s good that the doctors won’t talk to you directly.

Idk about Montreal, but in the US I needed three letters of recommendation to get insurance to pay for surgery (surgeons need 1-3 depending): an endocrinologist/primary care physician saying I’ve been on hormones for at least a year, a psychiatric professional saying that I was fit to make the decision, and a therapist (I think it had to be one I hadn’t seen before) to say that I’d seriously thought it through and understood what it entailed. That’s about as thorough as it can and should be.

But in general by making sure she’s talked to people who’ve been through it and with a therapist that says she’s prepared for it, it should be something she can handle. If the surgeon is wrong for her there are others though it’ll be harder. It’s a difficult balance of speed, quality, and availability and yeah it’s better for her to figure out her path and what mental work she’ll need to do sooner rather than towards the end of a waitlist

2-3 weeks to heal is wishful thinking. That’s the first healing stage, after which my surgeon allowed me to do things more than light lifting. 4-6 weeks to return to work. 3 months to have sex. But healing generally continues until about a year post op. Incidentally it took me about a year to be able to orgasm (it’s been several years now and I’d say it’s probably easier now than pre op)

My surgeon was a reputable surgeon at a reputable institution and showed me pictures of her work during consultation and gave me realistic expectations. There were complications (there often are) but they were ultimately temporary issues. And the trans community gave me a realistic but positive expectation compared to my personal experience.

If you have any questions I may be able to answer some. If anything push your daughter to look up and ask around about surgeons (word gets around about bad ones) and push her towards reputable ones who are willing to make her feel comfortable in their care and who explain what’s going on and what’s going to happen to her.

Yeah, part of what I appreciate about him is that he does consistently acknowledge when he fucks up and tries to change.

Yeah, especially since it included a lot of the more well liked users and communities

Satellite is better for remote people. I know a woman whose Alaskan village (indigenous, not colonizer) got significantly better internet once starlink was rolled out.

Now you could say that nations with meaningful duties to remote peoples should band together and essentially jointly operate (maybe having the UN administer it) such a service for them and use it as the last resort akin to sat phones. And I’d be cool with that. But I so think such people should have internet, and this is probably cheaper than running and maintaining cables all across Alaska and northern Canada.

I’ll also add, local government is a part time job unless you’re mayor of a large city. These are ordinary people who can be forced to be subjected to the judgement and distaste of their neighbors.

You can put up signs about their bad behavior in office. You can refuse them service in your store. You can’t do shit to the president or your representative in congress, but by fuck can you make a city councilor rue the day they ran for office

That’s horrible and I wish I found it surprising

Criminals are people. To act otherwise or to reduce their rights is the wedge issue of tyrants.

I’ve seen them here in the PNW and they’re everywhere in Ohio (Columbus based chain).

And yeah they’re slightly more expensive than I’d like, which is a shame as they’re the closest thing to Cassanos you can get outside Dayton.

My hard of hearing ass wants subtitles

Hell yeah!

Are there any distros yet that come with it? I have a pi I’ve been using as an htpc and I’m interested in switching
