Electric cars have been around for a very long time. According to Wikipedia, in 1912, 38% of 33,842 cars in the US were electric.

I think that Tesla showed that a modern performance car could be electric. It made electric cars cool again.

I would never be caught in a Tesla though.

Have you tried org-mode in emacs? It’s got everything and more! You have zettelkast-style note taking, journal, agenda, spreadsheets and a bunch of other stuff. And everything is saved in text files.

Emacs really is a great operating system!

I read some of the studies on this and i would say that the evidence is shaky at best. People seem to have an easier time reading texts using fonts that they are used to.

I’m currently fighting waybar to make it look similar to what you got. Do you happen to have config files to share?

AFAIK, there’s only three Star Wars films. Episode IV, V and VI.

Lately I’ve been using Sent.

I think that they can’t deny access to the US military bases in Greenland.

Sorry, I misread your comment.

I mean, what is the compromise here exactly? Don’t deport all the children with cancer? Only shut down half of the department of education?

Is the cat ok?

I thought it was the other way around. The thickest part of the can is the top, followed by the bottom. The sides are much thinner. I thought the reasoning behind switching to tall and narrow cans with the same internal volume was to save on aluminium.

Doom emacs. There is no end to customizability with emacs. Doom provides a great starting point for most things.

These devices also collect a lot of personal data. The internet connection isn’t necessarily for the device to be useful, but rather to serve ads or sell user information to the highest bidder. Just look at how cars gather data that insurance companies buy. Or the news that Jeep were going to start displaying ads in the center console.

Dwm is a really customizable window manager. You just need to know C and write everything yourself!

I mean, if you fit in with all the norms that society sets and you feel happy, you don’t need mental health care. However, as soon as you don’t fit in or if you don’t feel happy, it might be a good idea to see a therapist to get help to deal with these feelings. Of course, the therapy should be free if you need it and everyone that even remotely feel the need to talk with someone should get to see a therapist.

I’m saying that being trans seems hard. I don’t envy those who are, because of all the stress and transphobia. I still maintain that it could be a good thing to talk with a therapist when meeting hardships in life, and untreated gender dysphoria must be a hardship. I don’t want anyone to feel like talking with someone about their problems is a negative thing. We all need to vent and be seen for the individuals that we are, especially when we go through rough times.

If that makes me a gatekeeper, I guess I am one. Personally, I think I’m just arguing for mental health care for all.

I’m not trying to gatekeep, I’m just saying that therapy might be a good idea. As you wrote, 1 % experience regret, though I would have guessed at half of that. These people exist and every effort should be made for them to not need to regret their decision. But the other side of the argument is also true: the access to gender affirming care needs to be improved. Especially I feel that there is a stigmatization when someone seeks treatment and that’s really bad.

As for nose jobs, the cosmetic surgery industry is wild and not at all regulated enough. Of course one should need to see a therapist before getting a nose job.

Regarding the costs of healthcare, I find it repulsive that companies make money from people’s misery. Gender affirming care, including therapy, should be payed by the state.

Idk. There have been cases where people have regretted having the treatment. They are few compared to the number of people who think that the treatment was the best thing they ever did, but they do exist. I guess that being trans might cause some effects, like people being mean and bigoted or just the stress of knowing that you don’t fit in to what society seem to expect you to. I think prioritizing mental support through therapy might be a good start before the physical treatment. It will be good for both those that would regret the treatment but also for those that will get all sorts of weird interactions with others during the transition.

You work as a fog horn?

A similar one in Swedish:

Bar barbar-bar barbar bar bar barbar-bar barbar.

This can be translated to “a lightly dressed barbarian from a bar for barbarians carried a lightly dressed barbarian from a bar for barbarians.”

Hah! So true!
