You need electricity to make hydrogen. Hydrogen maybe maybe could be part of the overall energy solution someday by providing a similar portable, fluid energy store as gasoline and diesel do now. But the technological challenges (like just getting the lightest gas in existence to stay in a container, for example) make it not the thing we should be investing large sums of money in right now.

We need to fix the underlying electricity generation problem before we can really even think about hydrogen as a fuel.

sigh

I do.

Why would we not make egg extraction and cryopreservation part of the treatment protocol for these patients?

Edit: I see there's a center down in Atlanta that does this. This should be the standard of care. Anything less is inhumane

Hell yeah, Morepork! We knew you could do it, little guy.

Also, Team Goth Owls represent!

Roe happened because Norma McCorvey chose to go to court instead of simply traveling out of state to obtain an abortion.

Most courts in the US require that a plaintiff in a lawsuit be at risk of significant actual harm due to the law or precedent they're suing to overturn. In the case of abortion rights lawsuits, this requires an actual pregnant woman to stand up in court in hopes of getting the law changed for herself and all women like her.

This is called "legal standing" and applies pretty much everywhere except the Supreme Court, which has suddenly and ahistorically decided that proper legal standing isn't necessary, and anyone can be a plaintiff on a lawsuit that presents only hypothetical harms.

I wish that last paragraph was even remotely sarcastic.

Vaccines make you antibody positive. That's kinda the point lol

Do you know a lot of girls with PCOS who are being bullied to the point of violence? Because that's exactly what happened to the trans girl I grew up with 30 years ago. Long before she ever said she was a girl or presented as a girl in public. When she just "looked like" an effeminate little boy, another child wrapped her scarf around her neck and around a piece of playground equipment and started pulling her off the ground by her throat.

You know why? Because she was wearing a glittery purple scarf. And you know what the school administration did about it? Not one fucking thing. Her mother and my mother had to go on a crusade to even get the incident acknowledged.

Yeah, I wonder why trans kids have such high suicide rates. It's not magic, you ignorant FART. You're part of the problem driving these kids to experience high suicide rates.

This one is so hard! I have no idea what to do! On the one hand, classic owl, one of my favorites. On the other hand, I feel like I must support my goth owl brethren. I'm so torn...

There was a running joke over on that other site that there is really only one Nebelung cat, and it's actually a transdimensional creature that can appear in many times and places at once. And that's why all Nebelungs look exactly alike lol

Both companies I work for use Okta for 2fa AND also force us to change our passwords every 90 days, resulting in us using weak, easy to remember passwords. It's security theater.

I dunno, cats are so individual. One of mine loves this ball-in-circle toy so much, she'll play with it for hours on and off. My other one wants ME to play, no matter what toy it is.

Here's the ball-in-circle toy:

I think you have to just try different things and see what they like most. Maybe try a catnip stuffed toy?

I also find that they are just like humans and the things they like most are whatever is new. So I buy them like one new toy a couple times a year. It's almost Christmas; I'll get them a new toy as a gift haha

Literal ignorance. There are already studies.

"GnRHa treatment did not seem to have a particularly adverse effect on reproductive function or bone growth."

Puberty blockers only with social transition until age 18 are the standard of care given to the trans girl I grew up with 30 years ago. She didn't start exogenous hormones or surgery until she was a legal adult. None of this is new and the people you're listening to are literally just making things up.
