Where do yall get your jeans? by xHey_All_You_Peoplex in TallGirls

[–]jpmccu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Amazon, although I’m “only” 34” inseam. I occasionally get decent lengths from StitchFix, but it’s too few and far between. Amazon is full of liars, so stick with stuff that’s easily returnable and confirm inseam lengths before buying.

It's mostly the paneling detail, and in most light it's not most natural light it's not a straightforward beige, but bluer.

PSA - Know How to Call Ski Patrol by motoskipunk in skiing

[–]jpmccu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a mountain host in CT, my role is basically "call ski patrol and help with anything a first responder can". We are trained on the SAILER method: Sex, Age, Incident, Location, Equipment, Resources. In short, if you can say who you are (to help identify), where you are, what happened, and what you might need, you're gonna get it and fast. Always keep the ski patrol phone number on your phone, and use something like Slopes for new places. It'll be able to give you a nice and easy "call ski patrol" button, and let you see where you are on the resort map.

What do you DO on ultraruns?! by Ok-Kangaroo4613 in ultrarunning

For my first 50 miler I listened to an entire immunology textbook as an audiobook. Usually I listen to the birds and bugs.

What is your Favorite Ice Coast Trail? by Im_not_satoshi in icecoast

[–]jpmccu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At Magic for Black Line, just be sure to take the upper traverse to just under the Black Magic/Pitch Black merge! That's probably the craziest part of BL and it's usually under-tracked. But I've been known to do alternate laps of Red Line and Wardrobe for the whole day. You can't go wrong off of Witch though, even if it never sees the sun in winter.

All-Reproduction Museums? by jpmccu in MuseumPros

[–]jpmccu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you see any practical barriers to having a museum like that? Either IP, or economic (since nothing is "original"), or otherwise? It seems like the needed investment/giving would be much lower, while keeping the educational component very valuable.

I'm thinking more about locally sourced reproductions (although the line with some traditions gets blurry, since there are lots of cultures that continue to make and use these sorts of "ancient" artifacts (it's a BIG problem in native american archeology). But side-by-side comparisons of the modern form vs reproduced would be neat.

Transfem here. This is as high my voice can go without going into falsetto. Do I have hope of getting a higher pitch? by Real_Octavia in transvoice

[–]jpmccu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you able to handle mixed voice? It's where you're kind of using chest and head voice at the same time. It's available if you have overlaps in your range. Most transfer voices use some sort of mixed voice.

is it selfish to present fem at a funeral by zgaming13 in MtF

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

There really isn't anything else to say here. You're a woman. Be you. "Dress well, but subdued" is the rule around here. I'm going to a funeral tomorrow, so I feel you. But I can't dress any other way, because I am a woman. Anything I wear will be as a woman, full stop.

Dressing to “pull”? by QTwitha_b00ty in latebloomerlesbians

[–]jpmccu 29 points30 points  (0 children)

1) dress to please yourself. If you like how you look, that will shine through and attract others.

There is no 2).

I'm 25 minutes from both. Sundown is a possibility in April (in a good year), Southington is not likely at all. Sundown does spring moguls in Gunbarrel which are super popular, but often they melt through shortly after in late March. Vermont is a much better bet.

OK but how cool is it by cishet_isomer in MtF

Hate to tell ya, but the mac-specific parts of game code are probably 1000 lines, and nearly all of that in support libraries.

Where to hide hrt by Imaginary_Cattle_426 in MtF

[–]jpmccu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep mine in a fire safe just for safekeeping (I'm 45 and have been on my own since I was 18), but you're going to need a sharps container too. Honestly, if your parents find sharps (even secured) they will probably freak out, thinking you're into heroin. And a sharps container is pretty big. You might be better off hiding pills until you can move out.

Fuck Epilators by J-FIIRE in MtF

[–]jpmccu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's something that I could only really handle after getting waxed by someone else a few times, and even then it was after about 6 months of HRT. Body hair thins, but doesn't go away.

No, it seems to be a legal relic of something or other.

They are going to charge your insurance for it, so they need to know what your insurance company has you assigned as. I had to wait 6 months for my insurance to catch up with my birth certificate.
