To prove your point, please dox yourself.

I’d be interested in your full name, address, your phone numbers, your email adresses, birth date and credit information (which is probably in the order details)

I don’t disagree with the point that it shouldn’t need to be this way.

But it is what it is; and it’s live saving medication that has to come from somewhere.

People are fighting to tackle the problem officially; but they also have to somehow live in the meantime.

Almost all trans people would prefer a prescription and medical supervision above having to pay themself and guesstimate the doses without proper bloodwork. But some just don’t have any alternatives.

And to be clear: I will always recommend people to try the official way first. local transpersons that asked me for advice all got a “I can help you get therapy; I can help you to skip therapy and go the indication route; I can reluctantly help you skip indication and go the informed-consent-route without psychotherapists but still medical supervision, even tho I really discourage that unless your transidentity is obvious since many years; but I will not help you to get DIY (without medical supervision) unless you tried the official approaches, sorry”.

But for some people, there is no other option than DIY. Getting a place for therapy can be really hard, and some countries have no alternative routes to get a prescription with medical supervision without going through years of therapy first.

(Btw, I don’t know how the laws are in the UK. I’m from germany. But the problem is the same everywhere. I got lucky to be able to get a prescription, tho; but I know a few people that weren’t)

Yes, but it’s a bit hard to get; even in countries that try to improve trans-care rather than reduce it.

There are just so many therapists; the waiting lists are sometimes simply closed because they stretch years.

For many people, these hormones mean the difference between a livable life and extreme dysphoria, depression and suicidality.

If they could get them on the regular way, they would. But the regular way is often full of problems. So some people have to fall back to just do it themself.

I even heard of doctors who do some medical checks under the counter to ensure everything is done as safe as possible (but aren’t able to prescribe hormones themself without prior psychotherapeutical indication)

So; your point would be valid in theory, but unfortunately for many trans-people, it’s the only way to get their possibly life-saving medication.

Nothing. It just wouldn’t reach the rotation rate in the first place. (and the camera equipment would be unusable due to the vibrations of the gyros long before it reaches theoretical maximum, as already stated in the video)

You cannot spin up gyros indefinitely like e.g. in KSP.

The sattelite bus for the KH-11 Spy sattelites (which hubble is based on) uses thrusters for orientation (and has a huge propellant tank) while the Hubble sattelite bus uses several gyroscopes for orientation. They are not as similar as you might think.

They have to rotate it fast enough, and hubble is not built to rotate that fast

And it can also burn people.

Someone tried to convince me to lemmy in 2022. And until the Reddit-thing this single message was the whole reason I didn’t even thought about joining lemmy. It was weird to me back then.

You sleep on that mat.

Dunno if better or worse than a pod.

As a former fan of ulefones:

They’re great as long as they work, but I already had two ulefones where something broke internally physically and the IR-blaster blasted non-stop, even after the phone was off. Never had other significant problems, tho.

I’m far from a weapon expert, never held a real firearm in my life, but 9mm bullets are a thing, no?

I’m fairly sure there will be a lot inch-based calibers as well; but one of the most known calibers has mm literally in the name.

(and I know there are e.g. the .50 Magnum appearing in many movies/games; which is based on inch; but I would say less iconic than a 9mm; at least in the kind of movies and games I grew up with)

Thanks.

I love derivate-browsers; using vivaldi (based on chrome).

As much of the site seems japanese and I don’t want to dig deep this morning: can you please give me 2-3 reasons what makes floorp so good?

Not even a month later and said company rebranded itself without checking trademarks. Now we have “X”, a brand that non only risks infringement of quite a few registered eu-trademarks but didn’t even apply for an own eu-trademark…
