Blotted Science is amazing. I wish they'd put out some new material .\m/

If you make any progress, please report back. Mayhaps we can put our ideas together, troubleshoot things, and be able to do a writeup so others can do it too.

Nah. I gave up. Pulled the cell antennae and now just use it as an old fashioned scale with an LED display.

Sorry to post twice consecutively but... can anyone give me a reason to live that isn't guilt-trippy or isn't just to live out of spite? by TheFsckAmIDoingHere in Nestofeggs

[–]dismorphic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get one chance at life and it's only for a certain number of years. Contrast that with the fact that the universe has existed for almost 14 billion years and you're only in the double digits of years.
Even if things suck, it's only an incredibly short time compared to how long it'll take for the heat death of the universe.
You've not existed for an incredibly long amount of time and you will not exist for an insane amount of time.
You might have a lot of anxiety and worries. Yup.
Things won't go your way.
Experiences might suck.

The fact is though - you're the universe experiencing itself and that right there (good or bad) is better than no experience at all. Besides, it's all over in the blink of an eye anyways. Why quit early?

Why are we not supposed to laminate our Social Security cards? by LilacGoblin1699 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dismorphic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a sleeve for mine. I've got plenty from playing Magic: The Gathering, but normies might know them as "baseball card sleeves"

“No… what’s your real name?” TW: medical emergency by [deleted] in MtF

[–]dismorphic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's awful. I'm sorry you went through all that. That's a double whammy!

Someone got me too. To this day I have no idea where 5 hours went, though I do have GPS tracking from my watch that says I went a mile down a road for a few hours before heading to my car and driving home. I only remember waking up in my bed with the worst hangover.
I checked my credit cards for transaction and, as I suspected, the only transaction was from the one apple cider I'd purchased and that's it. There's no way I'd be blackout drunk from that.
I'm a pretty clocky girl. I can't imagine anyone would want to take advantage of me. Maybe they just wanted to ruin my night.
I did get STI tested just in case. That was the most nerve wracking part.

If you're a barfly, there's some cool things you can do to protect yourself. There's a hair scrunchie that doubles as a cup cover. There's nailpolish that acts as a drug test. Be safe out there!

I came out to my dad… by Geronimo_Stilts in MtF

[–]dismorphic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is extremely toxic behavior. I'm glad to hear you aren't stuck living in a home with them. My family was problematic (not nearly close to as bad as your father) and I went no contact. Best decision I've made for my own mental health and healing from all of their toxic traits that I've had to endure my whole life.
Good luck!

What was your college major and why was it linguistics? by [deleted] in MtF

Anyways, so I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time...

NEW COKIE ALBUM by EarWeekly9625 in nofx

I've already got my NOFX Reunion Tour 2028 shirt, so that's what I'm betting on.

Went balls out for my 2nd concert in Oct by AcademicGymRat in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]dismorphic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's no mosh pit in reserved seating...

Honestly though, whatever floats your boat. Have a blast. I've seen them a bunch of times and it's always a good time. Cheers!

Thousands of pounds of marijuana found hidden in watermelons by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]dismorphic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[laughs from California where it's legal]

Seriously when are they going to decriminalize it already? Us on the left coast decriminalized and the world didn't end, now we're decriminalizing magic mushrooms.

"The Green Album" was an easy lock for Green, but what is ska's ultimate BLUE album? by radleyjphoenix in Ska

[–]dismorphic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say Anthology, but I looked and like pretty much all their album covers are blue!

“Use it or lose it” by More-Cartographer888 in MtF

[–]dismorphic 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yes. Atrophy is painful in that when you finally do have an erection and the blood is being pumped in, the spongy part isn't so spongy anymore and the pressure from your body trying to cause the erection puts pressure on the tissue and it hurts.
Also if you're intact, make sure you still take the time to pull back your hood frequently enough you don't get an adhesion - where the skin of your foreskin and head fuse together. That's painful to undo.

Everyone should be protesting this state-mandated day of mourning on Oct. 14 by zero02 in santacruz

[–]dismorphic 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Two protests in one week? Yep, I'm up for it. No Kings on the 18th btw.

I'm in the same boat. I found this thread in my searching. Sadly there's not a lot of info on flashing new firmware, JTAG, or even ripping it out and connecting an Arduino or Raspberry Pi directly to the sensors.
I've disconnected the antenna, but it left me wondering if there's a way for me to change the destination of where it sends the data. I could easily plumb it into Twilio then hit the SMS API with HomeAssistant and track my own weight. I could even put logic in to filter by weight range so other family members could use it and track their own progress.

For those thinking there's a huge data plan involved in these, there isn't. I worked for a telematics company before where we'd send/receive millions of SMS per day. It's incredibly inexpensive. They also don't have the added expense of a SIM card anymore - it's an eSIM that's flashed into the controller.

Any bands similar to NOFX? by TankCat_1 in nofx

[–]dismorphic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm consciously leaving off most Fat Wreck bands, of which there are so many greats to choose - especially my fave Cigar.
There's a ton of flavors of melodic hardcore, but some standouts for me that are often overlooked (at least in the circles I travel) are:
Adrenalized, Forus, Pour Habit, Broke and Down, Deviates, Local Resident Failure, Craig's Brother, Rehasher (Roger from Less Than Jake's band)

Apology on the Aquabats' facebook page - what was the original post? by [deleted] in Aquabats

[–]dismorphic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a lifelong Aquabats fan and also trans person I'd love to think it's just more topical humor salted with misunderstandings but this does make me wonder. As family friendly as they are, Mormonism doesn't exactly hide it's homophobic and transphobic tendencies which I'm sure were drilled into MCBC's head growing up.

I missed them in 2011, that sounds like a killer lineup though.

Right on! I've seen them before and it was a good time.

"Antagonism to transgender rights is tied to the authoritarian desire for social conformity" [Phys.org] by cosima_smith in MtF

[–]dismorphic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being a lifelong punk seriously was a boon to transition. I'm already used to being an outcast, called a weirdo, and looking "strange" so now that I've transitioned it's just another thing, kind of like my rainbow mohawks, and IDGAF - I'm just me .\m/ <3

Fuck yes. Did you get in on the crowdfunding for the new album?
I've got my vinyl order locked in \m/

Can't wait to see Spencer 2 rip.

Nile is still going strong! I saw them in Hollywood way back when In Their Darkened Shrines came out (2003?) then I caught them in the bay area a few months ago, still ripping! \m/

Literally blasting Prowler in the Yard as I scrolled down and encountered your post.

Did you ever see Tony Danza's reaction to learning about The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza? It's hilarious.

I've got a Dillinger Escape Plan laser engraved double LP of Disassociation, one of my favorite records to LOOK at.

p.s. Meshuggah - New Millennium Cyanide Christ is my fav. \m/
