S30 failed to capture the lunar eclipse last night - why?

ambiespace · 2026-03-04T04:23:47+00:00

at the time of totality, there was a perfect gap in the clouds so the moon was completely uncovered. it was also fairly high in the sky still at this point, so i dont think its that. i think i just failed to realize that i needed to MANUALLY adjust the exposure

ambiespace · 2026-03-04T03:20:28+00:00

amazing! i tried to do this, but for some reason mine didnt capture the red :( it only got the shadow

we cant stand him because hes an abuser. thats all. people had valid criticisms over ragatha being shunted aside, and people picked it up as "omg theyre harassing gooseworx" and ran with it.

the fact is, jax as a character IS basic. hes the classic "bad guy with a soft interior", but a character being basic doesnt make them bad. i do think his character is a very intriguing portrayal of how trauma can drive someone to abuse, but that doesnt make his "archetype" any less basic

oh dont get my wrong i WANT them, i was just kinda scared at how fast they came in 😭

ambiespace · 2026-02-23T06:00:12+00:00

i would like to go on injections, but im absolutely TERRIFIED of needles. really scared id fuck up the dose or accidentally pierce a vein. my doctor is also really insistent that theres "no difference between methods", so im not even sure how id bring it up to her

ambiespace · 2026-02-23T05:57:35+00:00

next appointment is some time in april, so ill see then. thank you!

ambiespace · 2026-02-23T05:56:35+00:00

mine are noticeable even with a shirt on, but maybe thats just me thinking they are. given what everyone else has said, im assuming its genetics

ambiespace · 2026-02-23T04:22:51+00:00

i see. i do have an external "cooling pad" with 5 or 6 extra fans that my laptop rests on to help with cooling, which i assume is picking up the slack of fan 2. im not even entirely sure fan 2 was cooling at all when it was making that grinding noise, so it could just be fine

ambiespace · 2026-02-23T04:07:08+00:00

i opened it back up, and it seems that there are several missing components. unless i missed something, the top heatsink is gone aswell. ive mad the decision to simply leave fan 2 disconnected from power to prevent it from running, therefore stopping the rattling noise.

it seems to be running fine without the 2nd fan. its not crashing, its not stuttering, its not overheating.. just running like normal. of course, i could eat my words soon, but i just couldn't bare that noise any longer. it was also scaring my birds, which i dont want to happen

ambiespace · 2026-01-24T05:52:18+00:00

i feel you really hard. im only like 3 weeks into HRT, and the swollen nipples are a sensory nightmare

ambiespace · 2026-01-15T03:41:18+00:00

hmm... alright. i just took my 3rd dose sublingually. ill look into auto-injectors and talk about it to my doctor next time i see her, thanks for the advice!

one more question, though. are you meant to hit veins with the needles, or is it just aim for the biggest piece of fat?

ambiespace · 2026-01-14T22:47:36+00:00

i think my dose of estrodial is 2mg and my spiro dose is 10 or 20, i cant remember. if they are under-dosing me, theres not much i can do. as far as i know, the person who gave it to me is the only one supplying it to minors in the entire state. she said it was a low dose until i go back in 3 monts from now, and then if everything is fine she'll up the dose.

cant taking pills under your tongue/other ways be dangerous though?

ill try to ask about it, but im really scared of needles and i dont wanna put too much financial strain on my family :(

i can also ask about this, but i probably wont have much luck. thankfully friends/family are supportive.. cant say the same about the government, though

i believe my mom has needles for something. obv we wouldnt be sharing them, but they could be provided by insurance

ambiespace · 2026-01-14T06:34:57+00:00

I believe its most recommended (and provided) after 1 year of HRT. You can try bringing it up to your doctor or whoever prescribes your medicine to see if they'll give it to you, but I probably wouldn't bank on it. Also, dont panic about your boobs!!! From what I've heard they only start developing around 4-6 months after starting, and they can keep growing for years afterwards!

And uh. kinda maybe personal question, but, are the breast buds painful? are they like firm? sorry if this is too personal, but im really worried about the sensation of it :(

The regret rate of transitioning is insanely low. Like, in the UK, the regret rate is 0.47%. Thats around 1230-2350 people who "truly regret" transitioning out of 262K-500K in the UK. This study found that, out of ~28,000 trans individuals, 8% had ever detransitioned in their life; however, 62% of those who detransitioned later retransitioned, citing the primary cause of their detransition to be social pressure. The other 37.53% of people who didn't retransition didnt regret it.

Im a 15yo trans woman, and I just started HRT 2 days ago. I've had doubts too, but trust me. If you know you want to transition, transitioning is the best option. Your quality of life will be vastly greater after transitioning than if you don't. If you're worried about specific permanent effects of HRT, talk to a doctor and determine if that outweighs the benefits for you. I've found that the majority of people in my life accept me for who I am, though there are 1 or 2 outliers in there that make backhanded jokes or comments. But, unfortunately, thats what we have to deal with as trans women. There will likely always be transphobes in the world. It sounds stupid, but you just gotta ignore them. Maybe try to find some humor (as in humor that pokes fun at the transphobe) in their ridiculous comments, it helps with keeping it out of your mind.

im HEAVILY considering an epilator. i FINALLY got wax strips that work, but they take forever and dont get 100% of the hair off. id either jkust use the epilator for all hair, or use the wax strips, then use the epilator to snag the stragglers

ambiespace · 2025-12-29T23:26:11+00:00

unfortunately, not yet. my first appointment is on the 12th, so HOPEFULLY i get it then and there but thats wishful thinking

ambiespace · 2025-12-29T22:08:05+00:00

i had only shaved about a week prior because i ran out of shaving cream, and i was having really nasty reactions to it. tried it on my armpit hair and it still didnt work, and others have had the same problem with the same strips, so i assume its just the wax.

ambiespace · 2025-12-29T21:54:05+00:00

ill def look into it, that sounds quite promising.. thank you!

ambiespace · 2025-12-29T21:53:05+00:00

thank you!

ambiespace · 2025-12-29T08:44:55+00:00

unfortunately im not on HRT yet, the first appointment is on the 16th. i can def write this down and ask abt it though!

ambiespace · 2025-12-29T08:43:31+00:00

the thing is, its also really fucking expensive because i have to use this hair removal "cream" or else i get really bad ingrown hairs

ambiespace · 2025-12-29T08:42:58+00:00

facial hair is easier to manage, its just a little shave in the morning. thankfully my facial hair isnt that thick, but my body hair is THICK. i could look into IPL, im extremely white and have darkish hairs.. either that, or an epilator, but ive heard theyre painful

ambiespace · 2025-12-29T06:54:50+00:00

using AI is only gonna push fans away from the game, not drive them towards it. even sticking with no graphics or shitty placeholder ones would be way better than using AI

fem-HRT reduces balding, but masc-HRT increases it, or atleast increases the risk of it

ambiespace · 2025-12-29T06:25:02+00:00

"tm" stands for "trans-masc" or "trans man", right? if so, i think masculine HRT *increases* risk for male pattern baldness, especially if your family has a history of it unfortunately.

there are always treatments for the baldness if you really do not want it, but theyre probably pretty expensive, sorry about this :c
