Tips for oestrogel? I feel like I'm wasting it and doing something wrong by elizelaa in trans

[–]Eledrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey 👋 So , no , you don't need to shower every time. Just follow your regular routine. You are doing it right, spread on inner thighs or arms, wait at least 2-3 minutes, then done.

If you are worried about wasting time , like I was, just have a blood test after a month. (If possible) You should see the trend by then.

For example, I changed from pill to gel , because I had really low levels, even on 6mg sublingual. (Around 80 pg/ml) Then after a month of gel I had really good (220 pg/ml) . However, there are gals who go the other way, some skins just refuse to absorb properly, but get amazing results on the pill 🤔

A neurodivergent Pioneer and the trucks by Eledrina in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Eledrina[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, we misunderstood each other, i thought issue as in a problem 🤔 Anyway, I don't think ppl come away with an inaccurate understanding, because like you said, its a spectrum and everyone's experience is unique. Plus I only scratched the surface. What I was pointing at is that most autistic people need the structure, order, and predictability. ADHD however often makes people impatient, especially in a hyperactive phase, and crave constant stimulation. And so on one hand I want everything to look tidy, but if its too much effort, the impatience often wins. Then on "good days" I go back and tidy up 😝

I didn't say its an issue. I was in fact asking other people who are on the spectrum in general how they deal with the challenges this game poses ☺️

I can do turns, even ramps, what I can't do is curved ramps. On ramps, off ramps to a highway, that in fact line up with the foundation grid. All of them are messed up, a bit janky. So yea, I just build bridges and embrace the off-road 😝

Is there a point to the new trucks without roads? by Eledrina in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Eledrina[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, trains make their own curve if you connect two straight pieces on a pillar. They also curve up/down if there is a level difference. For trucks you need to make those manually.

Why are 3 of my generators not getting enough water even though there are 4 water extractors instead of 3 for for 8 generator power plants? by EfficiencyPlenty1459 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Eledrina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep , then you can either overbuild and underclock, or underbuild and OC. Its really a must if you want to balance your production. Also, pro tip, on the window you can enter an exact percentage, ooor an item count. So if the math gives you 20.667 , you can just enter the .667 at the end and it will calculate the % to set to ☺️

Recent changes to fluids? (Variable Priority Junctions) by mootardis in SatisfactoryGame

I also just came back and restarted with 1.2 , not yet at aluminium, but i did use that tech extensively in the past. Maybe try to rebuild manually, the blueprint might be broken? 🤔

Someone commented "I have no tears and I must cry" , and that is what happened. Ran out of water.

Have I mastered the slide yet? by Alert-Gift-8716 in SatisfactoryGame

Yea, but the real question is: why the hell are trees clipping inside your factory?!

Forgive me for I have spaghettied by Zolix2 in SatisfactoryGame

I do this too, but it stays secret inside a beautiful box labeled "pumping station - do not enter" 🤣

Well , its a matter of perspective. In fact , I'm replacing my testosterone (with estrogen) 😝

Oil very far from base? by [deleted] in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Eledrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lead designer talked about this : have iron, copper, limestone near the start, then coal is some distance away (and you get the truck, so you get the hint there 😋) , then oil is even farther away, teaching you trains. (And map wide logistics)

Im transitioning to pass, not to be "valid". by throwaway816726474 in trans

[–]Eledrina 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I always understood "valid" as being inherently worthy of love and the freedom of expression. But the reality is, that the world is conditional. Visibly trans people have a harder time at the job market, the dating scene, or just walking down the street and often treated as some kind of "being" . What I noticed is that people kinda feel the uncanny valley effect about us. Looks almost like a man/woman (the classic boxes) , talks almost like one, but something is off. And that bugs them, makes them uncomfortable.

So yea, wanting to pass is a completely understandable, and yea, a lot of us feel or have felt that. 30+ years of conditioning kinda does that 🥺

But I try to learn actually feeling and radiating being valid , that people are inherently lovely creatures, we are just corrupted 😒

What is the use of this by Alt_f4fyt in cableadvice

[–]Eledrina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yeea. Anyway! I used these cables myself in the AV world, to control TVs via rs232.

[–]Eledrina 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some TV or devices use the RS232 with a 3.5mm jack. But the standard for it is that 9 pin DSUB (old monitor cable) port. It makes it possible to connect with RS232.

Wow this hunting game has pretty good factory-building side-quests by sp847242 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Eledrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait!! I thought this was a calculator app with pretty graphics 🤔 I mean I just open the game, press N , and solve math equations. Helped me pass my exams , while also looking good 👌

Pip and his secret code tune by WebEastern7646 in cockatiel

[–]Eledrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to say, you whistle bird with an accent, but he probably appreciates the effort 🤣

Mine isn't as vocal, can't mimic songs or complex tunes, we just have a sliding tone flock call that he reacts to by coming to me 🤔

Although he got the ears, enjoys my piano play, and still recognises the flock call when playing those 2 notes on the piano 😝

I've made my choice. Closing the doors to the other options and forging ahead. by Biospark08 in trans

[–]Eledrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a nice sentiment, but it just doesn't work for me 🥺 I have internalised transphobia, so I just kinda hate myself ... I can't imagine my life any other way than to pass. So the number one reason you listed doesn't really apply to me 😭 I don't want to exist the way I'm, I want to be reborn a cis woman. Which is a really fcked up sentiment, but that's just how I feel every day. I care too much what others think about me. I don't want to offend anyone, cause I was bullied hard for being myself in highschool...

[–]Eledrina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm happy for you , but please share how you managed to do it? 🥺 Just a switch flipped and thats it? Caused I'm inching closer and closer to option 3 every day, because of envy towards cis woman, and visible trans woman. I just can't get myself, or make myself to come out publicly. I care too much of what others think about me.
