  • Typically, you just get a tow to an EV charger (or even a residential outlet) and charge there.

    I keep a spare charger and extension cord in the frunk when traveling a long distance. I can literally pull up to any place with an outlet and charge in an emergency. By the time a tow truck would show up, or by the time it would take to walk to the nearest gas station and walk back, the car would probably get enough charge to make it to a fast charger.

    A word of caution to anyone charging an EV on an extension cord… You need to fucking watch it the whole time, and check the temp of your outlet and cord. Mine got uncomfortably warm, but not hot enough to burn. If the cord gets too hot to hold, then you need to stop, and get a better (usually thicker) extension cord.

    Because I don’t really run Windows 2000 on my main machine. It was sarcasm.

    Plus… Running mint on my main, and I’ve tried a couple of emulators and VMs to try to run MW2 and none of them do a good job of it, especially if you want to use a controller or joystick. Frankly, If I had a real heavy hankering for my vintage games, I’d just build an airgapped legacy system specifically for running that game.


  • I went from 10 to Mint back in January.

    Pretty easy switchover. Very few issues. As a lifelong Windows user, installing apps, keeping everything updated and backed up could not be easier. Only issue I ran into during install was my WiFi device would not show up. Had to turn off fast boot and then power cycle the system and literally pull the plug to completely reset the adapter. Other than that, everything worked perfectly “out of the box”. No fucked up driver install process. No hour long updates. It literally worked perfectly within minutes. All the shit I went through with every single Windows install honestly feels like a cruel fucking joke right now when I type it out.




  • Right, but puberty involves a series of hormone changes that have permanent physiological effects. If HRT can be started before puberty then it’s much easier to transition, and that would really help with body image insecurities.

    I can’t speak about this from the perspective of a trans person, but I was pretty sure I was a boy at 12 years old, I think if I felt like a girl trapped in a boy’s body, I would have been equally sure of that. What’s the harm in allowing someone to be on puberty blockers until they are 18, or however arbitrarily old they need to be, in order to decide what they want to look like, and who they want to be? Obviously disregarding the very well documented harm of not transitioning and building an identity during some of the most formative and social years of a person’s life.
