Having a consistent sexual relationship. And not "consistent" in my current sense, where I am consistently not having any.

this is a law in the scientific sense, where its function is to describe a phenomenon that occurs in nature (or in society), not as in an authority is decreeing it so

Well, I'm no medical professional, but medical professionals have been prescribing puberty blockers for other things for decades, and if they were as dangerous as all that, then you'd think the FDA would have banned that by now.

Besides which, access to treatments like those ones are documented to reduce rates of self-harm, including suicide, among kids with gender dysphoria. And if your metric is the body turning out like it would have without these treatments, well, I hope I don't need to fill in the blank for you.

what exactly is the left's batshit insanity in this instance? literally that the game lets you pick your pronouns?

did you know that fallout: a post-nuclear role playing game (1997) also allowed you to do this? a few other games that have let you do this are fallout 2 (1998), mass effect (2007), fallout 3 (2008), mass effect 2 (2010), skate 3 (2010), the elder scrolls 5: skyrim (2011 and also every year since), mass effect 3 (2013), fallout 4 (2015), sonic forces (2017), mass effect andromeda (2017), cyberpunk 2077 (2020), trackmania 2020 (2020), and literally every other game ever to feature a character creator. if this is batshit insanity, then i can't wait to find out what you think of unions.

I didn't crash, fortunately: my only physical complaint is sore shins from having to walk three miles in MTB shoes.

So the abridged version of the story is that I was up on the ridge trail on my gravel bike, and after I did a huge drop, found that my right side crank had come loose. Walked it in to the shop and my guy Ashton found that that side of the axle was welded into the crank, and the weld had failed and sheared off. He also said he'd never seen a break like that before, probably because most people who come into that shop don't ride their gravel bikes as much or as hard as I do. So while I'm still out a bike for a week while we wait for the replacement to arrive, I at least feel like I earned it.

Also, the very next line in Hey There Delilah is "I'd walk to you if I had no other way."

[-] teuast@lemmy.ca 29 points 10 months ago

yeah, but it was repurposed for that. "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" also has its origins in a saying referring to something that is impossible, but was later repurposed into having the opposite connotation for most people.

I wholeheartedly disagree that it's a tragic day. The tragedies happened when he committed his crimes and got away with them for years. This is just the beginning of resolution.

I have been using this wifi setup for about a year now. I've got a PC, Mac, phone, and tablet, and the PC's connectivity has always been a bit spottier than the other devices, but today it just threw a full-on temper tantrum and has been refusing to connect for several hours, even though I'm posting this from the Mac literally right next to it on the same network.

I have both a USB wifi adapter and a PCI one, and both of them can see the network, but both get the "Can't connect to this network" error when I try to connect to it.

Weirdly, when I first got home and booted it up, it was actually working fine for a couple of minutes before it went down. It's done that in the past too, but usually I just give it a minute and it comes back on. No such luck tonight.

Solutions I've tried:

  • waiting for it to turn back on on its own
  • restarting the computer
  • shutting down the computer, waiting, and turning it back on
  • hotspotting with my phone (technically worked, but was so painfully slow it was more frustrating than no internet at all)
  • using the hotspot to update my device drivers (no updates available)
  • forgetting the network and trying to connect again (still can't connect, but now need to enter security key every time I try)
  • network reset: this renamed my wifi adapters from "wi-fi 3" and "wi-fi 4" to "wi-fi" and "wi-fi 2" in the connection manager, but did not solve the problem
  • sacrificing a goat to ug-qualtoth (didn't actually, but thought about it)

I did not try resetting the router because 1. none of my other devices are having any problems whatsoever and 2. I share my house with five other people.

Are there any other solutions I can try short of buying yet another wifi adapter and crossing my fingers that it actually works this time?

e: Thanks for the tips. I will attempt them when I get home tonight and report back with success or failure. I did test this morning before I left for work and found that it did not in fact magically fix itself overnight, so... yay for consistency, I guess.
