- Comment on Tech hobbyists, How are you avoiding the crazy prices for computers and newer tech? 1 day ago:
I scavenge old hardware from work. My rack is now com0lete (hardware wise, at least), as I powered up the JBOD cabinet today, consisting of a bunch of harddrives left over from disk upgrades at work. It’s a bunch of 10TB and 3TB SAS drive. That server used to be an automation controller, now it’s my storage server. I had 160G of DDR3 RAM laying around from a machine I retired a while back, which is nice to have with ZFS.
My VPN concentrator was a datalogger for two industry robots.
My web crawler was supposed to be a test-server for the software department, but they needed to upgrade.
The only new hardware is my game server, and RAM was over half the price.
My networking hardware is also from work, as I detest consumer grade networking hardware.

- Comment on How can I master Chess? 6 days ago:
Trust me, it takes A LOT of time. I’ve been playing for around a decade, I’m ELO 1400ish, and I still consider myself a nooblet.
The problem with chess is that it’s an ancient game where anything you might try has already been dine by someone. Randomly move a horsey, and a skill opponent will recognize it as either a blunder, or part of a well known strategy. “Ha, I can see you’re trying to play a Venetian Sodomy Gambit, but I already anticipated this, so by moving this pawn you fell for my Cleveland Steamer Gambit. Eat dirt, noob. Also, check!”
Chess is truly an unforgiving game to 99.999% of us.
You will never master it. I sure as hell never will. But as long as we’re having fun, that’s all that matters.

This too sounds like “gender affirming self care”

Glad it works for you. Remote tele health is an actual doctor, right? As in, all the credentials, just not in-person appointment?
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I think wishy washy “too caregul” language is annoying to everyone involved i the conversation.
I don’t remember the context or the exact question, but I do remember saying at some point, on the topic of gender and sexuality, something along the lines of “I was born with a penis, I like it that way, and I enjoy inserting it into opposite genitalia”. I found that to be the easiest way of clarification. To my defense, this was before I learned what “cisgendered meant” and I just wanted to make sure there was no ambiguity.
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 1 week ago:
I have some many questions…. feel free to answer as many as you want, if any at all:
- Where does the breast tissue come from?
- How does one sculpt a nipple?
- Are they as sensitive as before? I mean, on the receiving end of stimuli, does it feel like an organically grown whole grain breast, or is it more like… uh… elbow skin? I have no idea how the neuroplastics would work..
- Does having breast cancer on one side automatically increase the chances of cancer on the other side? I would think symmetry isn’t a given?
- Were you able or allowed to choose size and shape?
- Hope you’re doing well today. Not a question, I just wanted to say (write) it. Live long and prosper.
- Sorry for the stupid questions, but of all places I feel this is a safe space for them..

Possibly, my impression is 100% based on internet advertising and what I’ve seen for sale at US gas stations. I’m thankful I don’t need it, I just wasn’t aware that non-scam versions of creams like that existed.
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 1 week ago:
That sounds more like gender affirming self care
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 1 week ago:
I thought those gels were a scam. Do you apply it where you want (more) hair growth?
- Comment on When do we riot? 1 week ago:
Considering the amount of sugar in US bread, I’d say they already are.

Does this mean that the older term term “sex change” is more appropriate?

Autocorrect with skynet aspirations, or is this a medical procedure I’ve never heard of?

- Comment on What happened to NFTs and what where they in retro spec? 2 weeks ago:
NFTs, like block blockchain in general, are public write-only databases. The only difference is that NFTs also contains references to things such as media (pictures).
They’re still around, but like all other fads that are poorly camouflaged pondicherry schemes, they’re practically worthless.
An NFT doesn’t dictate ownership, neither de jure nor se facto.
While I find the concept of public write-only databases interesting feom a technological standpoint, an actual use case has yet to be discovered.
- Comment on If you had a tooth problem that needed a root canal and crown, how long would you expect it to take to get it resolved? 3 weeks ago:
I got an emergency appointment within hours so they could do a temporary hotfix to relieve the pain so I could at least function as a human again, then I came back in after a week or so for the permanent fix.
