Cooling cycle is scifi stuff <3

In the lab I worked in, most of our [redacted to avoid doxing myself] were cooled just with the refrigeration cycle. Didn't get nearly as cold as you get with liquid hydrogen, but still cool stuff. I was a helping hand with some of the repairs, but I don't think I ever had any clue what was actually going on.

Would be interesting if HVAC classes included lessons on things like cooling for electron paramagnetic resonance.

Probably makes more sense to gay on to the furrycon. Are straights even allowed in such hallowed grounds? (no offense to straight furries intended by the comment - just not sure I've ever met a furry that wasn't at least some form of GSRM)

I haven't. There's some baggage with my (unfortunately masculine) given name than I'm not ready to let go of and I don't have any name I actually want.

Sometimes I change the spelling to be feminine (albeit a rare name compared to the masc form) and more similar to my mom's name (who my name was picked to rhyme with). It's a spelling I used as my character name in a Pokemon game when I chose a girl character like a decade before my egg cracked and my friend thought it was an uhh interesting choice (expressed by friendly teasing).

Could be something like hand size as well, since it can be harder to grip large lids.

That phase makes sense if you are the one to originally say something, which is imagine long-living vampires would have to deal with more than usual. Still there are RL examples like that one person who got a rejection for their paper by reviewer two who said they needed to account for the work of [insert name of the researcher who submitted the paper].

Also, if the garbage truck is hit by another normal car, its heavy enough to barely budge, so doing the same off a car going the same speed would still be more dangerous.

Unofficial IT at my work and half the time people ask for help, it suddenly works with me there and not even touching it. Granted, most of the time that's just people having typos when typing username/passwords and managing to do it correctly the 4th attempt. And sometimes it's just the computer being unusually slow to connect to wifi right after booting up and its connected by the time I walk over to check on it.

But I already am? Agreed it was a smoother transition than I expected and I find myself dislike windows even more pretty much immediately after. I still use it for some work-stuff unfortunately.

I assumed my mom would have tried to be more supportive when I first realized I was trans (until my brother brought a trans boyfriend home...) and I assumed my step-mom would have been more disapproving (even if I assumed she wouldn't express it much directly).

By the time I actually came out though, I suspected the biggest problem I'd have is I'd have to deal with my mom's dysphoria (egg?), and that turned out more true than I even expected.

There are some people who are homophobic, but not transphobic (which sometimes leads them to doing pressuring gay people to transition, so they're not gay). Don't think it common in the US, but it happens.
