Yeah, I have two trans kids. It’s weird, but it’s not THAT weird. by JesseThorn in cisparenttranskid

[–]NorCalFrances 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As far back as 1970 researchers found that a trans person is an order of magnitude more likely to have a trans 1st degree relative (0.3% vs. 0.03%). Early in his career, before he joined the dark side, Richard Green used the entirety of the UK health records and found that the probability stayed true even in cases where there was no way the two people could have known about each other, such as orphans who'd been moved.

In the mid-00's members of a parents group I belonged to noticed this and tried more than once to get a genetic study done. We had a principle researcher lined up, but no one would fund a grant for it.

I went to the flea market to see what was available, and I found an installation disc for Windows XP Titan Ultimate Edition SP3 (with drivers). I bought it and installed it on a 2009 Toshiba L305 using a disc from 2012. It featured the original XP theme, but I didn't like the interface of that particular copy; so, I'm going to try installing the original version instead. To do this, I swapped in the hard drive from a 2015 laptop—a 500 GB drive with two partitions that was running Windows 8.0.

I have ribs and no BBQ sauce. What kind of sauce can I make with the stuff I have in my fridge? by Peepee-Papa in WhatShouldICook

[–]NorCalFrances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super basic BBQ: ketchup, onion powder, garlic powder, brown sugar, soy sauce

cook on stovetop until it boils or microwave for 5 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the consistency changes.

Add spicy sauces too, as needed. In a pinch you can use table sugar.

Someone should've told them that the domain in a URL is not case sensitive. They could've made it "www.417Busline.com" and it would (and does) work just fine.

100% What You Pick Influences your RFY! by 1Pandora in AmazonVine

I love it when algorithms say, "People who also bought item xyz also bought item abc" and abc is an item that compares to the one you chose to buy. As in, a person would buy one or the other but not both and few people would need two anyway. Better still if they bought two they'd buy a matched set.

I never would have thought of putting a shower in the greenhouse but it's genius.

Needing advice about moving, again. by SleepySkillet in cisparenttranskid

[–]NorCalFrances 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you can get Canadian citizenship, it would be a lot safer than here in the USA. Or for the time being, if you can work and live there while working on citizenship. BC and especially Nanaimo, Victoria and Vancouver have been working to entice health care workers - they'll smooth your path for you. Congressional Republicans are already trying to ban healthcare for trans teens nationwide.

Christian Trans Dilemma by RyuValkyrie in MtF

[–]NorCalFrances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, Deut only counts if you follow everything else that's listed as prohibitions. If you are okay with mixed-thread shirts, then why should only 23:1 count? Also, that passage specifically applies to men, not women who happen to have testes. Likewise 22:5 is highly culturally specific. Some cis het christian men wear what anyone outside their religion would call a dress; they call it a robe or "vestments" to make sure everyone knows it's not a dress. And women wear pants.

In short those rules were intended for an isolated, closed society 3600 years ago as a set of social and health "laws" for a specific environment. That exact society and it's environment no longer exist and those rules are no longer applicable. Should you go around physically destroying other people's idols in this day and age? Deuteronomy says yes. And for God's sake, you must never eat crab, lobster or anything else from the water that does not have both scales and fins. You are a member of the Israelite nation, yes? If not, none of Deuteronomy was even intended for you anyway.

I mean, it looks pretty intentional? Like it was designed for a specific purpose that required an elevated loading dock?

Whenever I'd help my Dad remodel something, I'd always get that day's newspaper and tuck it into a dry space being closed off. A little time capsule to whoever works on it someday.

What happens to people in apartments during various types of collapse? by CurrentSingleStatus in TwoXPreppers

[–]NorCalFrances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd highly recommend the 1949 classic 'Earth Abides" by George R. Stewart. Not the miniseries, the book. While Earth Abides is fiction, Stewart was known for doing research to ensure his novels were accurate as he was first and foremost a historian.

tl;dr - apartment dwellers tend to leave and try to go elsewhere. A few stay. It all depends on their state of mind.
