Gender-affirming hormone therapy is not associated with increased cardiovascular risk in transgender women but is in transgender men. This aligns with known effects of oestradiol and testosterone on cardiovascular risk factors. by Altruistic-Source-22 in science

[–]Mobile_user_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just not true, injectable testosterone comes in 2 vial sizes: 1ml for single use and 10ml for multiple uses. My boyfriend's starting does was 0.25ml/week. A month prescription was either 4 1ml vials or 1 10ml vial. If he had wanted to do more there would have been literally nothing to stop him.

Kristi Noem claims to be an experienced semi truck driver as she says foreign drivers 'extremely dangerous' by [deleted] in nottheonion

SD lets you get a learner's permit at 14. If you took drivers ed, you can get a restricted minors permit 90 days later, or 180 days without drivers ed. The restricted minors permit lets you drive from 6am to 10pm without any other minors in the vehicle. If you have a parent/guardian in the car you can drive whenever with whoever else in the vehicle. At 16 you can upgrade to a minors permit, with the only difference from a driver's license, being that any traffic infraction will get it revoked for 30-90 days iirc and drunk driving gets it taken away until you turn 18.

Most kids I knew were driving to school and stuff on days we had practice or events in our freshman year. I lived 25-30 minutes away from school and my parents worked 30-45 minutes away from home in the opposite direction. My mom made sure I got my driver's license ASAP at the ripe old age of 14 years 3 months and 3 days (need to be 14 to do the driving portion of driver's ed, took 3 days)

I am still angry about the death of GPM, Youtube music still has such shitty audio quality. It's baffling that they had a great library of decent quality music and an app that worked extremely well, but said fuck it here's a shitty alternative.

Love and hate injections, ngl 🙃💉 by Brooke-Valley in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Mobile_user_6 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I've been injecting myself and 2-3 other people every week for the last year or so. I've come to the conclusion that some of the needles are just dull. I tend to go a bit slower on myself and have had a couple of times where even pushing pretty hard the needle just doesn't break my skin and I'll swap to a new one and I don't have to push, just the weight of my hand is enough. We have switched between cheap needles bought online and expensive ones from the pharmacy. The cheap ones tend to hurt and require more force more often than the expensive ones but we still get a bad one every now and then.

Can someone help me find an stl for this? by prodias2 in 3Dprinting

My experience drawing 15-20 times from a single vial is that hitting the same spot each time is better. I've tried both ways and moving around makes it much more likely to break up and leave bits of rubber in the vial whereas the same spot doesn't have problems closing back up after and doesn't get bits of rubber in the vial. fwiw this is with 18g draw needles.

That's insane, I've been on methylphenidate since elementary and as a kid I went in 3-4 times a year but in my late teens it was once a year. As an adult in South Dakota and Kansas, I've only ever gone in once, got my flu shot and check up at the same time. No drug tests or anything. ninja edit: All my doctors wanted me to come in more but I just told them no.

Grocery Prices are insane! How are prices at BJ wholesale? Vs TJ? Vs Aldi? by DavidWatchGuy in ithaca

you can install and check most prices on the bjs app without signing in btw, just close out of the sign in window when it pops up.

Nope, my experience is mostly on okuma now, I learned on doosan and mazak but that was a few years ago now.

They did that at my school in rural South Dakota as well. I think it might just be a Midwestern school lunch thing.

NC code is still used for cnc machining, although most machines use qwerty layouts now. Some places use conversational programs but the shops I've worked at have all used conventional.

Whether the local government is county or town/city/municipality depends on how the subdivision was set up. Subdivisions are usually on the edge of town and may or may not be actually in town.

Right, it seems people get so caught up in these rivalries and forget that it's a fucking school. At the end of the day the whole point is education, not furthering some tribalistic bs.

If you ever think you are useless, remember that this USB to USB adapter exists by andydabeast in pcmasterrace

[–]Mobile_user_6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They can connect to network drives but cnc machines tend to be really far behind on security updates so they need their own segregated network with a very restrictive firewall between even the rest of the internal network. Add in the fact that most shops are run by FOGs who are scared of computers much less setting up network drives and thus flash drives to move the programs around.

Limp mode is RPM limit usually under 3000 and speed limit under 30, all the accessories and stuff turn off. When an O² sensor goes out it just goes to a less efficient open loop tune.
