It’s also the way they make cheap LED headlights. The reflectors that direct the beam of light in your headlights expects the filament of the bulb to be in a very specific spot, but LED headlights often have a much wider area where the light emits from than the little filament that traditional headlights do. So when installed in cars that aren’t designed for LEDs, the beam pattern can be off and make the light shine at people instead of down toward the road.

Looks like they are using it to warm the screen adhesive so they can remove the screen and repair the phone.

Sega worked with Microsoft a bit on the Dreamcast and tried to get Microsoft to offer backwards compatibility for the Dreamcast on the Xbox. It kind of makes you wonder if Microsoft copied Sega’s controller.

In group policy (local or domain):
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Display highly detailed status messages

Also make sure that this policy is not set or set to disabled:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Remove Boot / Shutdown / Logon / Logoff status messages

Instead of using local group policy you could use the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
"VerboseStatus"=dword:00000001

If you do it through registry, make sure this key is either non-existant or set to 0.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
“DisableStatusMessages”

If you use Windows a lot, get used to the group policy editor. Your computer should have the local group policy editor on it. If you’ve never used it before, you’ll be surprised at how configurable Windows can be if you know where to look. They just don’t really give those options to the everyday user.

Not to defend Windows too much in a Linux community, but you can turn on verbose status messages for the screens you see during startup, shutdown, login and log off. It’s a setting that can either be turned on with the local or domain group policy, or by registry key.

Still though, it’s not as detailed as full console output, but is definitely more helpful than just telling you to wait.

“Running train” is a euphemism for a gang bang.

Bose does make really good NC headphones, but as you mentioned, they can be pricy. I got my NC 700s on Facebook marketplace for half the price brand new. Someone was given them from work, but already had Sony noise cancelling headphones and were selling the Bose ones. I see used QC45s on there all the time too.

If you want to try replacing the battery yourself it looks like they sell new batteries for that scooter.

Here’s an iFixit guide on replacing it.

Also GoTrax claims it has a 2-year warranty. It might be worth it to see if they’ll send you a new battery for it.

As a trans person, if either of them had enough estrogen to make any sort of meaningful impact on someone’s body, trans women would be drinking a gallon a day.

I don’t know where you can get them from central Europe, but Gaff and Go is a British company that makes really nice gaffs. Their “magic gaff” line works well for me. I get them shipped to me in Canada.

I sometimes wonder why anything is wrapped in plastic at all. So many products are wrapped in plastic for seemingly no other reason than to indicate that it’s unopened.

 

I know this isn't specifically transfem, in fact the author is transmasc, but I am transfem and this is the biggest trans community I can find. I bought the book "The T in LGBT" by Jamie Raines and I want to share it with my wife. She has a hard time reading paper books, and I saw there was an audiobook version of it on the UK Audible website. I tried to buy it there, but as soon as I entered a Canadian credit card, it told me that it wasn't available in my region.

Anyone know where I can get this audiobook that doesn't put region restrictions on it?

EDIT: In case anyone else comes looking for this audiobook, I found this Italian website that sold it. I signed up for the website with a fake UK address and paid with PayPal. I'm not sure if it was necessary to give a UK address, but that's what I did. After that, I was then able to listen to it with the Kobo Reader on my iPhone.
