My pixel yesterday was also supposed to be pink, not blue.

dual sim slot phones were very common in some markets where you needed to have multiple carriers. It's a lot less common now that eSIM exists, but before then it was a common thing for the EU version of a phone to have dual sim slots when the NA versions were only single sim.

Concealed firearms are carried in a way that is quick to access. The can be drawn in seconds. If an attacker could kill you in the very short time it would take you to access your firearm, it would probably be a bad idea to draw it in that moment.

If you chose not to draw a concealed firearm, the you look like you're unarmed. The alternative is being actually unarmed, which would leave you in the exact same danger, but with less options. Use the weapon when it is to your advantage, keep it concealed when it isn't.

How accessible is the weapon when it is concealed? Am I right in assuming you could draw it in seconds if needed?

[-] hildegarde 13 points 12 hours ago

Concealed carry makes you safer because you have a weapon for when the situation is out of hand and you have no other options. A concealed gun is not a threat or deterrent.

You deescalate, you disengage, you do everything you can to avoid the conflict. If those fail and you remain in danger, you shoot them.

If the attacker knows you have the gun, that will escalate things. Which is why you want to make sure they only learn about your gun after you already shot them, justifiably in self defense.

The limiting factor is the track speed. Bookings on the old and new Acela have the sane estimated travel time.

Same. I noticed the error, and thought it was far too funny to correct.

[-] hildegarde 4 points 12 hours ago

Every source that I have found calls it a high speed rail. From checking openrailwaymap, the track speeds for most of the corridor are well above 100 mph. It is high speed rail. It's one of the worst high speed rail corridors in need of improvement, but it's still high speed rail.

I like the idea of the fairphobe, but its too big and too expensive. I'm poor and have small pockets. There are no contemporary phones that work for me.

The trains in article are the new high speed Acela trains that run on the northeast corridor. The northeast corridor is an electrified high speed rail corridor owned jointly by Amtrak and various state DOTs.

What you describe is the case for over 90% of Amtrak's network, but these trains are specifically made for the one section where that doesn't happen.

I have been on HRT for a little over two months. I am taking sprio and sublingual estradiol.

These treatments have pretty much cured my depression, but otherwise I feel pretty much the same. I kind of expected estrogen to feel actively different most of the time, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

However, today I felt my nerves for the first time on HRT, and it felt very different. I get stage fright on occasion. This time wasn't worse or anything, but it felt so very different. Like the nerves were in my body instead of my head.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with performance anxiety before and after HRT? I'd also love to know if are other experiences that feel distinctly different that I can look forward to.

Thx in advance. Love you all <3
