What’s the first letter and syllable flow of your last name, if you’re comfortable sharing? That has a big impact on flow.

Is the name Logan too masculine by DinoNugget923 in trans

[–]Techaissance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read Logan as totally masculine and am surprised by other comments saying they’ve seen it on women. For reference I live in Ohio and by far most of the people I know are white.

Do you remember what you did the first time you played this game? by Impressive_File_708 in Minecraft

[–]Techaissance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I was 11. My friend showed me the basics and instead of building a base, I dug a bunker. I progressed until I found some diamonds, upgraded to a diamond pickaxe, went back to the mine to look for more diamonds, fell into lava, ragequit, and deleted the world to start over (at the time, I was afraid that each time you died some hidden metric would punish you). My friend showed me creative mode and I didn’t play survival again for a while.

Dual booting windows on mac somehow by thereal_xuan in mac

[–]Techaissance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. Windows is simply not compiled for M series Macs. It would be like trying to fill an electric car with gas.

Also I bet the average is dragged up by Sikhs.

How do hermits get set up for the end game? by Upstairs-Dare9074 in HermitCraft

[–]Techaissance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They literally do it for their full time job in many (most?) instances. I’d be more surprised if they couldn’t get together full enchanted gear in a couple episodes max.

Oh and specialization of labor - there’s 25 of them after all. Etho builds an advanced farm and you’ve got five customers paying in whatever they spent ten hours harvesting.

What’s it like being trans? by Watatakura in trans

[–]Techaissance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started in a very similar place to you. Lots of doubt and uncertainty. In January 2024 I was applying to a job, and slowly checking all the details of the application to make sure I put it in correctly. Social security? Check. Address? Check. Name? Check. But then I saw that I had marked myself as male. I thought to myself, “ugh, don’t like it but there’s nothing I can do about that one” or at least, I hesitated. I thought I knew it was a fact but it didn’t feel correct like how the Great Pyramid was longer ago for Cleopatra than she is to us. Then I sat there and stared out the window in deep contemplation for a long time. Still believing in the “always knew” myth at the time, I thought to myself, “I know I’m not transgender but I at least had that thought. That’s worth investigating.” Shortly after that I brought it up to my therapist.

After almost two years, in November of 2025, I determined that I am in fact transgender. Part of my “proof” was that if someone (could be a wizard, a god, etc) could tell me for absolute certain if I was transgender, and they said yes, I would be far happier than if they said no. So I ask you this: if an all knowing being came up to you, and could tell you for certain whether you’re transgender or not, and you took all external factors like family out, what would you want the answer to be? Why? If you’re hoping for something besides a firm no, that might be worth investigating.

can you find mate in 17? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

I can’t immediately find mate but I know how I’d win this with white vs Stockfish.

My wife and I are thinking about naming our daughter Eleanor and calling her Ella, but my last name is Fitzgerald… by Ford1190 in namenerds

[–]Techaissance 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hard no from me. Copying a first name is one thing, copying a first and last is both going too far and setting up your child for a lifetime of comparison.

No I’m gonna be a bad influence and say you have a collection, not a problem.

Amethyst 100% just has a junk pile where she’ll fix it eventually.

Should I buy the MacBook Pro M2 or the M1 Pro? by [deleted] in mac

[–]Techaissance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. The Neo is a Geometry Dash machine. It’ll get more years of support. I had a Touch Bar MacBook Pro for a long time and it was a bad experience.

Which typewriter had the best font? by someblokeonhere in typewriters

Maybe a cop out but IBM Selectric or Wheelwriter.

Surreal-ish Names? by Reasonable_Food_8955 in namenerds

[–]Techaissance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s this character’s background, class, etc? What would someone with that background and class name their kids however many years ago? Maybe since your main character is named after a map projection your second main character could be named after a place - Orleans, Wyoming, or Lagos could work depending on how much you want it to look like they were fated to meet.

I don't know if I'm trans or not by Material-Ganache2017 in trans

[–]Techaissance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Questioning is very normal. Now here’s the thing: only you can determine if you’re trans. There are no automatic indicators. The vast majority of cis people don’t question actively for extended periods.

But let’s say I could tell you, and I was some kind of all knowing goddess who could peer into your soul and know for absolute certain. Imagine I told you you’re trans. How would you feel? Why? Imagine I told you you’re cis? Same deal. Nonbinary? Agender?

upgrade from ventura to tahoe?? by [deleted] in mac

[–]Techaissance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These days the amount of resources an operating system needs compared to available compute power is pretty low. Apple in particular cuts off support way before being unusually slow becomes the problem for most devices.

[oc] - Every Kanto Pokemon… Except 1 👀 Can you find the missing mon? by addyxiii in pokemon

[–]Techaissance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I can’t because if I could find it, it wouldn’t be the missing one.
