An astronaut, until I discovered I hated rollercoasters.

And then an aerospace engineer, until I failed pre-calculus twice.

And then I had a random computer programming course in high school, and ECPI visited our high school. So I settled on computer programming.

I’ve been in the field of computer programming for about 20 years now. I like coding and it pays good too.

I think you look super cute!

I’ll have to look into Vinted haha.

Girl, you’re beautiful. Just remember that we are our own worst critic. Try to ignore the bad thoughts and ask for feedback from friends and stuff. hugs

Hai Cily!

You may not see me often. I’m a bit of a lurker haha. But I’m around ;-). I’m 40 and I’ve been on HRT since Nov 2022. And I’ve been doing great lately!

Hopefully things are going well for you too! hugs

One quick voice training trick/tip to get you started.

Simply take your tongue, and if able, place it on the roof of your mouth. Far enough to feel your muscles in the back of your neck tense up but also be careful to not choke yourself or anything. These are the muscles you need to keep tense. Now that you can feel which ones to target, simply drop your tongue back to a normal position while also keeping those neck muscles tense and then attempt to speak normally.

If done correctly, you’ll find that you’ll talk softer. This trick demonstrates an example of resonance. It can be quick to pickup and use, but difficult to sustain. But that’s where practice comes in. ;-)

Also don’t forget to drink water. It helps a lot during practice.

Here, also, is my favorite voice training video that covers this trick in the “positioning” section: https://youtu.be/4AesESPasZw?is=KRJ1UpbHlQzAnj8m

Awesome, thank you! I’ll definitely have a look at this when I can.

Is it time for me to try to mod my ps4 so I can keep all my games? Does ps4 support soft modding yet? Cause I can’t solder…

I wish I could talk like that. Your voice sounds amazing. <3

I also have a neat voice trick that practices resonance for anyone interested.

I hit the big 101000 recently. Time sure does fly by.

Rrreeeeeeeee hugs :-)

I started HRT at the age of 36. I sometimes look back and wish I started sooner. But it is what it is. I can’t change the past. All I can do is look forward to the future and focus on improving myself over time.

I’m a firm believer in that you can start HRT at any age. It’s never too late to be the person you want to be. It’s never too late to pursue happiness.

I distract myself with video games usually. Takes the mind off of the day to day things.

But if I don’t have the energy, sometimes curling up on the couch with a blanket and a drink and watching Youtube or movies or something is nice.

Sorry for the late response.

Trans girl in the US here. Both of my parents are pastors. And due to their religion and upbringing… It has had that friction.

Somehow they have come to accept that I’m trans and that this is happening. But they refuse to acknowledge my gender or my pronouns. Nor do they want to call me by my preferred name.

However I do have other family members that are perfectly fine with it and support me. My grandma is the best and she’s super super nice.

And my girlfriend’s side of the family also supports me. I find myself visiting her family for holidays more often than mine now.

My recommendation for you is to try to find family and/or friends that accept you and bring you positive vibes. It helps a lot. Trust me. hugs

If someone gets pissed off enough at windows… They’re going to find alternatives. And once they’re locked into those alternatives, they’re likely not going to switch back. Until something with their current setup catastrophically breaks. As a result, its kind of too late for Windows to save itself. At least in my opinion.

Ahh, apologies. Thank you! I’m learning new things! :-)

Yeah, I think I was referring to Doppler redshifts. Which is a very specific type of redshifts mentioned in that wiki article.

Again, thanks! :-)

So… I am not a scientist, just an enthusiast. But my understanding is that the speed of universe expansion doesn’t correlate with the speed of light. The speed of light is still constant.

Instead, the universe expansion rate is measured via something called the “doppler effect”. Scientists are able to use telescopes and take a snapshot of the night sky. Stars that tend to be brighter and more blue are closer to us. And stars that tend to be darker and more red are farther away from us. By taking snapshots and comparing it with previous snapshots over a long period of time, we are able to see a difference in color in each star which then shows us which stars are moving closer and which stars are moving further away.

Thus by measuring the speed at which the doppler effect changes, they can determine an estimate and compare whether the universe is expanding or shrinking and the speed at which it expands or shrinks over time without breaking the cosmic speed limit that is the speed of light.

Another analogy for the doppler effect is that it’s similar to what happens when a train passes by us. But in the case of a train, the doppler effect is with sound. As the train gets closer, the sound gets louder and seems more higher pitched. Then when the train passes us and gets further away, the sound fades away and gets lower pitched. All the while though, the speed of the train is still constant.

Hope that makes sense. And anybody that knows more than me feel free to correct me. ;-)

Yes! You get to invite the bots and choose their talent specs and everything. And you can fill raids with them too!

The following YouTube video is a step-by-step guide to setting up AzerothCore with player bots. It is a bit complicated but if you follow along, you too can get a WoW server stood up ;-)

https://youtu.be/UG900F19GPk

Once you have the server, you can use the ChromieCraft client and edit “WTF/Config.wtf”. And set the “realmList” to the local IP of the virtual machine.

Oh also, here’s a link to the player bot commands list. It’s a bunch of text commands. Nirv has a addon that lets him issue commands but for whatever reason it’s incompatible with some of my preferred addons. So I just create chat macros and use an action bar to issue commands.

https://github.com/mod-playerbots/mod-playerbots/wiki/Playerbot-Commands

Note: I feel like I should warn… Nirv is kinda an a-hole. But he is very smart and knowledgeable about this stuff. So maybe just focus on the tutorial and getting it setup etc.

I’m a sucker for nostalgia and a believer of game preservation, and I managed to figure out, with some guides, how to setup my own private World of Warcraft server using AzerothCore. It only goes up to Wotlk but IMO, that’s the best expansion anyway.

I’ve been using it currently to solo play the game with bots. Funny enough, the bots actually dodge fire! Lol. But since it has bots that means I can still do dungeon and raid content! And I don’t have to deal with the stress of juggling a raid schedule. I can just play whenever I want, however long I want.

It does also have the option to be port forwarded to allow friends to join. But I don’t have any good friends interested in that. And I don’t want to make the server fully public for reasons.

Unfortunately, its very complicated to setup. So I highly recommend finding a guide before trying to install it. It does require setting up a virtual machine and running a bunch of scripts. So it can be a bit complicated for anyone who isn’t tech savvy.

I don’t understand the science nor do I know the facts.

But the rumor i heard is that if you get your hair trimmed every few months or so, it can help make your hair grow longer. I think it’s because the hair grows longer to try to heal itself or something.

I just get periodic trims and like how long my hair is currently. ( I’m about shoulder length right now, although I wouldn’t mind if it was longer. )

Again, I could be wrong. Idk how the magic works exactly.
