  • I got my meds like I mentioned in a previous thread. So I’m good in that regard.

    Some serious stuff happened at work that resulted in some legal issues. It wasnt my fault thankfully. But I am involved with the evidence collection process. Go figure.

    And I’ve been playing alot of Final Fantasy 14 recently. Mostly on Sundays.

    Oh yeah and I’m getting my hair dyed this week!

    Overall doing a lot better. So that’s good.


  • My one issue this week is that Im bad and I forgot to check the amount of pills I had. By the time I realized I was running out of Spiro it was too late. I filled the prescription and I’m getting it tomorrow so that’s good. But I missed 2 days worth of doses. 2 pills twice a day.

    Possibly a placebo effect but I do feel weird. I can’t wait to start taking it again normally.

    I am still taking my other pills normally like my Estradiol. And a few other things unrelated to HRT. I’m just trying to hang in there. Heres hoping it’s ready on time and I can get my Spiro tomorrow.



  • IMO, I still think there’s not enough infrastructure to support charging EVs. Don’t get me wrong I’ve seen some. Just… Not a lot. Until charging is as prevalent as gas its just not worth it. Or if you have a house I guess.

    In some areas I hear it’s good. But in my area there’s only 1 set of charging stations at a Wawa that I know of. And that Wawa is an hour drive away. Plus I’m at a rental complex that mows the lawns regularly and having a cable run from my house to the car is not allowed.

    My current gas operated vehicle has about 160000 miles on it. I’m hopeful that my vehicle will last a long time. And then when my vehicle dies, I’ll look at the infrastructure again and see if it’s beneficial for me to switch to an EV. I’m going to continue to wait until it’s beneficial for me to buy a new car.

    We’ll see how it goes.



  • I have a few retro devices.

    • Pistation (basically a mini playstation 1: I modded the case with a exacto knife in order to fit a “Indiedroid Nova” in it)
    • SF2000 (SNES Controller with a screen, only plays older games though. Like before n64.)
    • GPi case. (A game boy with a cartridge slot. Supports Raspberry pi zero. I also have a cartridge that supports the RPi 4 compute module although idk if you can still get it.)
    • Modded PSP
    • Modded 3ds XL
    • Samsung Galaxy S24+ ( I might buy a Gamesir X2 Wireless controller for it. )

    Those are ones I have off the top of my head. I don’t remember if I have other ones.





  • Every Saturday I’ve been going to my local game store and playing various card and/or board games.

    A lot of the time we play Magic the Gathering. Sometimes we play Dungeons and Dragons.

    But I also have a whole backpack of a bunch of other games I bring for variety sake.

    Just recently I finally got my physical copy of “Fools Blade”. It’s a new card game where players collect sword parts and craft their own swords to go adventuring (both PvE and PvP). I’m super stoked to play it.






  • That’s because of circumstances beyond the average voters control where the majority of people inevitably votes between 2 parties and a vote for independent gets essentially “counted” but “thrown away” because the pool is less than the other 2 main parties.

    In our current voting system “first past the post”, It inevitably leads to a 2 party system regardless of if other parties exist.

    This video is one of my favorites that explain this problem. https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo?si=ri9DbpvXxjyRonN3

    The only way I see that we can maybe break past this is to band together and convince more than half of one of the major parties to vote independent. It’s possible perhaps, but highly unlikely. ( the video kinda covers this as well. )

    Or maybe convince the voter base to change voting systems. I personally like the sound of “ranked choice” voting. Granted it doesn’t fix everything but it would be alot better than what we have now. And it might give independents a higher chance of possibly winning.
