EndevourOS is a great app for creating a new app that is easy to use and easy to use for your business and business needs.

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.

Is this what the bridge of the castle looks like when Riff Raff and Magenta take off?

You might have trouble getting free unrestricted library cards if you don’t live in the area that the library serves. They are usually paid for with taxes and aren’t there to serve people outside their community.

If you’re willing to pay for it, I know that the Ottawa Public Library in Canada offers membership for $90/year to people living outside Ottawa. You may find something similar at other libraries.

The Libraries and Archives of Canada will issue a card too, but you have to visit the archives in person and have a reason you are using the archives and not another library.

I’m no fence installer or anything so I don’t know if it’s possible, but instead of replacing the fence, could the chain link part be removed from the posts and flipped over and reinstalled?

Make sure you’re buying 14/2 or 12/2 that has a ground wire and running that back to the breaker box. I saw the job you did with the big cable in the floor and it didn’t look like you ran a new cable that had a ground wire. It’s best to replace the old shoddy stuff with circuits that are up to code, even if you’re doing it DIY and your area doesn’t require homeowners to get it inspected. The codes are designed to prevent fires and loss of life.

While I doubt there are like scientific papers on it or anything, the reverse correlation seems to be pretty strong. I know a lot of trans women who work in tech (IT support, programming, electronics, etc). There are also plenty of memes in trans communities about how we all work in tech, especially programming. If you search for “programming socks” or “Unix socks” you’ll get stripped thigh highs for instance.

Now whether trans people are more likely to work in tech, or if people in tech jobs are more accepting of trans people or something else, it certainly seems like trans people have a slight affinity for tech jobs.

We love it here. Canada is a great place to live in my opinion. We live in eastern Ontario.

This is going to be very dubious advice, as I’m just some American living in Canada who has kind of looked into this myself. I honestly don’t really know what I’m talking about but here’s how I understand it.

First, you can just leave your retirement accounts in the US. Start a new retirement account when you get to Canada. Then just let both accounts grow separately.

Second, it is possible to move a US retirement account to a Canadian RRSP, but you’ll probably have to pay a 15% - 30% tax to the US when you do that.

 

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.
