I’m all for another crossover, but please no more musical episodes, they’re the worst.

Agreed, skaters have been outcasts since the old days. When you’re already shunned by society, you’re not very likely to shun people different from you in turn. Its the same situation in the punk rock scene.

I also use keepassxc with syncthing. It works great and syncthing allows me to sync any other files I want. Mines set to automatically sync my photos and documents as well as keepass.

You’re totally fine, forums and social media are made for the discussion and dissemination of information. Keep asking questions and keep on learning.

RCS stands for Rich Communications Suite. Its a standard developed by google to make texting more feature rich like dedicated messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. Pretty much any stock android app uses it these days. If you want to know more here’s a pretty good explanation of it. https://www.androidcentral.com/what-rcs-and-why-it-important-android

You could have answered them in the time it took you to write that comment.

Just… why? It’s like you want to be an asshole.

I’m not a violent person, but with draconian laws like these being put forth seemingly everyday, It feels like a time is approaching that the only recourse trans people will have is to try and cure conservatism with bullets. I for one refuse to be rounded up into camps and forced into the “showers” by these religious fascists.

Yes, because referring to a child by the name and pronouns they have requested will irreparably damage them. /s

It has been proven time and again, study after study, that acceptance and support for trans people of all ages improves their quality of life. In this case simply using the requested pronouns and name can have only positive effects on the child’s life. Further gender affirming care has also been proven safe and effective. Hormones are generally not prescribed until after 16, and until then puberty blockers are proven to be both effective and completely reversible and 100% safe. They have been regularly prescribed to cis-children to manage conditions such as precocious puberty for decades. Their application to treat gender dysphoria is no different.

There is no good reason to withhold gender affirming care from a child that is showing signs of dysphoria. Witholding treatment only leads to greater risks of selfharm or suicide.

If you have an Asian grocery nearby, try getting a package of salted duck eggs. They’re boiled and packed in salt at the factory, so that the whole egg absorbs the saltiness trough the shell. They come individually vacuum sealed, so you can just cut it in half with a knife and scoop the egg out of the shell with a spoon, they’re delicious in ramen.

I’m trans, after the first year or so of transition, and I can’t wait to take my bra off at the end of the day. The experience really wears thin after a while lol.

How is is that after all these years, after seeing countless examples of religious lunacy, that I can still be surprised at the petty inanity of the religious. Apparently it’s less a well of stupidity, and more like a never ending guyser of idiocy.

If you’re in the US most auto parts stores will take it for free, I know for sure that Autozone and Advance Auto do.

In terms of performance, a K&N is the way to go, but if you’re looking for reliability, the regular old paper filters are better for your engine. They’re a much finer filter medium and catch a lot more dirt than a K&N will. Also the price difference is negligible, a paper filter is usually around 15-20, while a K&N is closer to $50 or $60 plus the future $30 or so for a recharge kit to clean and re-oil it.

When it comes to oil changes however you’ve definitely got the right idea, cheaper with better oil and better filters. Also I do know that K&N uses a finer mesh in their oil filters than most compettitiors, so its worth it there.

Looks like a spanner nut and the cap appears to be a jam screw to lock it in place.

That’s the cool part about chemistry, when used in this synthesis the dichloromethane becomes a whole new (presumably safe, but we’ll see what further testing turns up) molecule. Sodium is explosive and Chlorine is highly corrosive, but combine them and you get regular old table salt. Just because a reagent is dangerous doesn’t mean the products it creates will be.

Edit: I just did a little research and it looks like 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) is safe for human consumption. It’s already sold as a dietary supplement. It’s marketed to help with metabolism of estrogens but we all know how “trustworthy” the dietary supplement market is.

As little sympathy as I normally hold for any Jan 6 rioters, it is downright cruel to house her in a male prison. From what I’ve been able to suss out, she has been transitioned since at least 2004 when she did her legal name change. This is a person who has fully transitioned and been living as a woman for nearly 2 decades. Even though she is a traitorous piece of crap she deserves fair punishment under the law. To me, being a woman put into a male prison population should be considered cruel and unusual.

It looks good, I’ve always had NA’s but i think I’m gonna go for an NB next time around. I’ve been feeling the miata itch lately.

Welcome, its always nice to meet another miata loving engineer.

Yes nobody showed up to the most attended football match in New Zealand’s history, you fucking idiot.

Checkers/rally’s fries are my #1, plus I think they’re the only ones on this list that backup their fries with a guarantee.
