That headcanon is in line with the Enterprise episode with the augment virus infecting the Klingons.

I've spent a significant amount of time every day considering if I should buy a gun and get a concealed carry permit. There are people attacking trans women in public while onlookers cheer.

I'm also worried about losing access to my hormone therapy and ADHD meds, and having the hospital (or insurance) I'm on a waiting list for surgery decide they're not going to do trans healthcare anymore. Also worried that the federal government will outlaw legal gender transition.

I've considered trying to leave, but there aren't really any countries that seem viable to go to that aren't also actively passing anti-trans laws. My only marketable skill is IT, but I've only got an associates degree, no certifications, and I'm not specialized in any particular in demand area.

I've also lost the shred of faith in humanity I had left. I find myself wondering which is more likely: assuming 70+ million people are actually that malicious or if they just on average have the intelligence of a potato chip. I fear it's probably both.

So yes, I suppose you could say it's had an impact on my everyday mental health.

I got an ender 3 pro for about $100 a couple years ago

Fortunately Minnesota (and several other states, Vermont being another) simply lets you self ID your gender marker on your license, so your driver's license can have the correct gender even if your birth certificate can't be changed because of shithole states being shitty.

I just watched episodes 1115 and 1116 of One Piece last night. Bleach is my overall favorite anime.

Is there a reason you're encoding in software other than not having hardware that can av1 encode? I recently got a ~$100 Intel Arc gpu to encode for my media server and it's working great so far.

Is it mounted correctly? Usually motherboard flex from a cpu cooler is due to tightening things too much or mounting incorrectly in some way like using the wrong mounting hardware or the wrong holes/slots on the mounts.

She'll be 35 in October.

It'd be nice if instead of putting massive tariffs, we would just subsidise production of comparable, small cars.

I feel like their methodology is flawed...

The character is Gowron, from Star Trek TNG and DS9. It's an edit though.
