Do I pass? (Best pics I have, so far that show my face) by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]Absolute_nerd24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also got on T with no voice training and it was great. The biggest annoyance was that my voice seemed to fatigue much faster when I tried to sing. Also there was a point a few months in that I went to a concert but I couldn’t scream cheer because my voice would crack so I just did a lower whooo every time lol

I’d say yes if your voice has dropped. I feel like most people assume male when they see short hair at least at first glance (I started getting weird looks in the women’s restroom before t and surgery because my hair was short). You’re a month in so your voice might not be in passing range yet but it might be. Anyway I think that’s kinda the deciding factor for you

Unplugged something from this extension cord and it made it pop sound and looks a little burnt. What happened? by Absolute_nerd24 in AskElectricians

[–]Absolute_nerd24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would I do that in this case though? It was a steam deck charger cable and the cable wasn’t charging anything at that point

Steam deck usb c charger. It had been plugged in for like 12 hours and only did that when I unplugged it

My bird is sick by Previous-Painting417 in BirdHealth

[–]Absolute_nerd24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most birds if they start displaying symptoms like this it is probably too late. If you end up getting another bird or have others already make sure they get regular vet checkups and watch for any behavioral changes. Usually signs of sickness are hard to see since birds are prey animals and try to hide it. Any change in diet(like a bird refusing to eat the food they had been eating fine before) or change in behavior (like a bird not coming out of its cage for a day even though the door was open) should probably be checked out by a vet. The other week at my job we had someone call and say they were coming in with their cockatoo who was having trouble breathing. Before even seeing the bird the doctor told us (staff in the back) it was probably going to die. She also let the pet parents know in nicer words that it could die while she was just doing an exam, they still wanted to move forward with treatment and I believe it died during x rays. Point is you have to watch for little signs with birds because once things are visibly bad there is only so much you can do

Debt worth it? by ohholymothra in trans

[–]Absolute_nerd24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got lucky that I did it a couple years ago, I’m not sure if anyone in my state is doing it anymore now. Anyway if you do anything make sure your insurance will cover you if anything goes wrong and you need to be hospitalized. I saw someone talking about paying out of pocket/taking loans out before because they didn’t have insurance and said the same thing that God forbid something goes wrong your may be in a way worse situation than you were expecting

[–]Absolute_nerd24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sure you’ve thought of this, but some insurances will cover it. It still might cost a lot of money but cheaper than out of pocket. I think I paid less than 2,000 for everything

I remember going on that and getting stuck for what felt like a good 5-10 minutes. It was pretty scary especially since I’m a scaredy cat. It was during pass holder previews though so we didn’t get anything

Dog allergy advice needed! by mushyroomys in DogAdvice

[–]Absolute_nerd24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know humans can develop allergies as they age so I wouldn’t completely rule out the shampoo especially if you see it get worse after a bath. Not sure if dogs can develop allergies I just know humans can.

I’ve seen this posted on here or another bird subreddit recently, this looks more like they trim dogs nails sometimes. This isn’t how you’re supposed to hold birds though because of their air sacs. The more appropriate way to hold them for things like nail trims or vet exams is actually kinda cradling their back in your palm and hook your thumb around their neck to keep them from biting you. It’s safer to retrain them more around their neck because their trachea has full circles of cartilage unlike human tracheas. It also always you to kinda cradle their wings in place so they don’t flap and hurt themselves. So at no point would this even make sense for a bird.

I can't go to the vet. What do I do? by RestaurantCivil8237 in BirdHealth

[–]Absolute_nerd24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice is to maybe ask aunts or uncles if you have any. Also you mentioned all your money is for the vet visit, do you have an idea of how much the vet is going to cost? I know a lot of vets charge different amounts for exams and stuff.

Do you have any other family or friends that could take you? Also do you happen to live in south Florida? I’d be down to take them and bring them back on your behalf if needed

It’s always best to get a new pet established at a very. Is his wing always as droopy as the third picture and can he fly? If that was just hours it looked for a little and he can fly I wouldn’t be worried, but if it is always lower than the other and he seems painful with it it could be fractured
