A note for everyone who is interested in injections but doesn't like IM, you can also do subcutaneous injections. My understanding is that estradiol in common preparations is a depot injection where absorption is controlled less by physical factors and more from the lipophilicity of the medicine itself.

Anybody who's interested can look for the article "Comparison of the Subcutaneous and Intramuscular Estradiol Regimens as Part of Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy" published out of Dr. nippoldts group at Mayo recently.

Aw, I've been using my evo for a while and didn't realize they'd gone out of business. They were always great to deal with for me. It's a nifty device, and I like the all glass air flow. That really only stayed true when using it with extracts in the glass nails though.

Have you found a reasonable clone for the baskets? I love those little things and used them in my portable as well.

Anybody dislike the production today even if the race has a great end? It felt like it took so long to see replays of any significant incidents/moves, if we saw them at all.

Plus, it was great to watch the four racing at the end for so long, but why take away the time splits? They just showed like lap times between two drivers at a time for all of it.

I feel like hair volume and fun styles, plus a lot of late 90s early 00s clothing is coming back in style right now! I'm having fun wearing it this time around.

If it turns out that running isn't your thing, I'd recommend trying some sports. Climbing is basically the only exercise that doesn't bore me to death. Plus, they're a great way to meet people, and a lot of cities have a queer specific league.

I've tried to use different types of corn flour, but it's never quite right. The nixtamilization process dramatically changes the texture of the resulting masa. Fresh masa is even better, and can be made yourself if you're up for a project day.

I agree that flour tortillas may be your best bet if you can't find maseca. A wine or round liquor bottle with the label removed makes a great impromptu rolling pin.

I'm also interested in this for using stremio from phones and PCs. Chromecast in particular also kinda sucks due to limited codec support.

Yeah same, except it was later overturned where I live and they came right back. Luckily, at lesser numbers, because more of us were used to bringing our own by then.

The majority of my friends leaving Austin have done so because of state politics. It's hard to feel safe when you're queer in Texas.

Just wanted to add that event digitizing older records these days is better. Some hospitals do make old scanned notes indexed and searchable through OCR now.

It's a bit delayed to be responding to this comment, but I wanted to in case op is still hanging around this thread.

  1. He doesn't necessarily need to be worried about 'looking different'. A lot of trans people, and trans men in particular, completely pass. Testosterone is strong as hell. People just always stick with their 'we can always tell' talking points, because when they see passing trans people, they don't assume they're trans.

  2. The phrasing behind your second point is kind just of a rehash of a common anti lgbtq sentiment. The problem is, at least anecdotally for myself, that the people who would harass you consider that to be anything showing you're in some form queer or showing any pride in who you are. It's essentially a demand that people entirely hide part of them if they want to to be treated with respect.

Maybe this is the rumored aero stall when drs is on? It seems like there's still some massive aero efficiency differences when the flap opens.
