  • Mine are similar to yours, but only two relatively short periods per year. It hits me mid-spring, and end of summer.

    As for your allergy testing, it’s likely you’re not really allergic to all of the allergens you were tested for. In many cases for those tests, if a few of the allergens trigger a reaction, then all or most of the injection sites will react rather than just the ones you’re allergic to. It helps when you can tell in the moment which one started it, since reactions happen quite quickly.



  • As long as you’re making an effort, that’s really what matters. Nobody’s going to be offended by a small mistake or slip-up. Just apologize and move on.

    Trans people are people after all, and all they want is to be treated as such. They don’t want preferential treatment, just to be treated like everyone else.

    If you’re an introvert, then you probably don’t want to attract attention to yourself in most cases. Same thing here.









  • 3D printers can move very fast. They typically don’t because it causes all kinds of deformations in the print. Mostly the issues are in acceleration, decelaration, cornering, and controlling the heat snd flow of melting filament.

    I don’t know whether or not the accelerometer thing can be done in real time, or if there would be any benefit.

    Check out the 2-minute Benchy for an example of how fast a 3D printer can get. This is a test print that typically should take about 45 minutes to an hour at very basic settings.

    But also note the quality of the end product. It looks pretty awful. If we could print accurately at even remotely similar speeds, it would be fantastic.





  • According to the article:

    But a former British Army munitions expert, who asked not to be named, told the BBC the pagers would have likely been packed with between 10g and 20g of military-grade high explosive, hidden inside a fake electronic component.

    I don’t know what the actual truth of the situation is, but something’s fucky. I can’t imagine how Israel could plant explosives in those pagers. And overheating batteries would burst into flames rather than literally explode, so that would probably be mentioned somewhere.

    Israel’s doing lots of fucked up shit lately, but I can’t see how this one would be their fault.
