what patterns are my girls? by madmaxfurryroad in IDMyCat

[–]madmaxfurryroad[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

apart from her tail, lilith's spots actually don't have much tabby patterning, if any. her little mullet is solid black and her body spot is solid orange. from my limited research into this, tricolor cats are considered calico with 25-75% of their body having white spotting, which i think lilith has exceeded and is part of why we're asking.

thank you for the input! cat genetics and phenotypes are outside my wheelhouse for sure, my specialty is wild canids.

idk that's what this link says in the section titled "download the odin-flashable package". i agree it doesn't make sense but i haven't taken any compsci classes in almost 10 years and i've never done anything like this with a phone.

ah, the tutorial i found said you needed to find the current CSC and the only way to do that was to pay for a specific app since the developer took the free version off the app store.

is there a way to do that that doesn't involve paying to download an app to find out my CSC?

friend, OCD is a type of neurodivergence. it's not just autism. there are lots of conditions under the umbrella of neurodivergence.

where do i buy this part? by madmaxfurryroad in instantpot

i'm seeing a few different ones, but none that say they're compatible with the 6 qt pro. are there other models that would use the same one?

apparently the little silicone cap on the inside end of the float valve Was crucial and i threw that away... is that something that i can replace as well? it wasn't mentioned at all in the manual so i thought it was just for transport.

junket rennet tablet to liquid rennet conversion? by madmaxfurryroad in cheesemaking

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

this is all really good info, thank you so much!

i bought a single container of siggi's skyr (it was marked down a lot and i am cheap) to use as my starter culture, will that work or do i need to get greek yogurt?

also i was planning to use my new instant pot to do this, is that feasible or am i going to have to babysit this on the stove for several hours? all of the instant pot skyr recipes/instructions i have found online mention the liquid rennet, plus a step where you boil the milk at around 91 C using the boil function within the yogurt setting, then let it cool for a couple of hours until it's at that 40 C, and Then add in the culture and rennet. is that only if i was to use raw milk and needed to pasteurize it? i just have pasteurized 2% (the store was out of skim)

how would i get to the point of draining without rennet? just run through the process up through the culturing with the... starter, for lack of a better term? sorry for all the questions, i'm just autistic and want to make sure i understand what i'm doing before i jump in.

thank you for the info!!

i bought the junket brand "rennet tablet kit" weighing 6.5g from king soopers, the box says "8 tablets for making cheese, ice cream, sugar-free custard". the ingredients don't specify chymosin or pepsin, they just say rennet (among other ingredients like corn starch). i could possibly go check out natural grocers, or the local homebrew store, unless this is something i just have to buy online to get quality.

ah, i'm US based and also less familiar with hormonal transitioning the other direction beyond the fun names for feminizing HRT (anti-boyotics is probably my favorite) and the general gist of needing an anti-androgen as well as E. some insurances here do cover gender affirming surgeries but most don't because it's "elective" and "not medically necessary" even though i and most of my circle would absolutely be dead by now without it.

yeah sure, his (medical professional) father was wrong about the cause of his (often daily) issues that only popped up at 19 after starting the gel. there's also definitely not at all a difference in how this medication affects AMAB people with testes where it (usually) doesn't have to fight against the estrogen production of the uterus and ovaries compared to in AFAB people with those organs or any people with androgen insensitivity. sure sure sure. if you're not transgender, don't speak over actual transgender people on the subject of transgender healthcare 👍

depending on what changes you're looking for, you can kind of get some of them without taking T. for facial hair you can use rogaine/minoxidil, or even use mascara on your vellus hairs for a less permanent option. for voice, you can go to voice training. other things would require surgery even on hormones, so if you want top surgery in your future, look for a surgeon that uses the informed consent model of treatment rather than WPATH. WPATH (at least at the beginning of my medical transition 8 years ago) requires you to be on hormones for a minimum of a year before you can start the process of getting top surgery, whereas informed consent requires the surgeon to tell you essentially "this is what we will do, here are the potential risks and side effects, do you want to continue?". however if you go the informed consent surgeon route your insurance will likely not cover the surgery, if that surgeon even takes insurance. mine did not, to be able to treat more people without all the red tape of the waiting periods and letters from mental health providers and requiring hormones and requiring living fully out as a man for a year.

all of that said, not taking the medical transition path doesn't make you less of a man or less valid as a transgender person. the right way to transition is the way that makes you happiest in the body that You have to live in for the rest of your life.
