When they found his car, the transmission was in neutral, and the engine was running.

Yeltchen's jeep's transmission was a bad design. It was a lever with a button. Shifting required the driver to hold the button while moving the lever. To select park, you hold the button and push it fully forward. If you do the exact same motion but don't push the lever fully forward the car will go into neutral with no indication other than lights. Its a faulty design that chrysler knew about before Yeltchen's death and chose not to fix it.

With the prius shifter, all moving gears are selected by using the lever, whereas park is selected using the push button. There is no way to set park and accidentally get anything else. The prius shifter was designed from the ground up to work safely despite being a monostable design. They designed it properly and its fine.

The faulty and recalled chrysler shifter was an attempt to make a monostable version of the traditional automatic shifter, but doing so they removed all the tactile feedback that made those designs shift unambiguously.

Yeltchen would still be alive today if he was driving a prius.

The instrument panel shows the shifter position. The park button has a light that illuminates when in park. The transmission automatically switches to park when the car is turned off. If the door is opened when the transmission is in anything other than park, the car sounds a continuous warning tone, turns on the large red master warning light on the instrument panel, and shows a clear warning message on the central display.

The prius used the same shifter design for nearly 20 years from 2003 to 2022, without issue. It is a well designed system with measures to prevent leaving the car while in park.

2008+18=2026.

2008 is chosen so that effective immediately, no one new will be allowed to smoke, but those who were previously allowed to smoke can continue.

Making the date 2026 means it takes 18 years to go into effect. There isn't a good reason to wait.

The alternative would be banning smoking outright, which would be coercive to those who are addicted to something that was legal when they started. This policy is a timely but fair way to outlaw something.

That's just KDE. But why am I imagining a mirror dimension universe where its called CDE and all the software names are normal words with the k's replaced with c's.

At least 80% of the trans women I know were computer science majors, or at high risk for becoming one. The one thing I know for sure is that computer science majors don't go outside.

You sound like someone with little to no experience with breasts. Breasts are squishy. Their shape is greatly effected by clothing. That is exactly how it works.

Not like, estrogen literally is a steroid. If you're taking HRT you're doing steroids.

Most laypeople mean anabolic steroids when they say steroids. Those are the masculine ones that build muscles, but steroids as a category includes much more.

All sex hormones are steroids. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are all steroids. So is cortisol, and many others that regulate many bodily functions. Steroids are a biological communication protocol used to control many things.

Maybe I'm just being pedantic, (probably) but far from steroids in reverse, estrogen is the best steroid of all.

But that picture also has very different framings. The steroid picture is taken from much further away with a lot of zoom. His face looks flat and you can see both temples simultaneously. Faces change dramatically based on how you photograph them.

No, I'm referring to the tceffe abmepm. The water molecules "remember what it "felt like"" to be boiling so they are faster to return to that state the second time. It is really real.

This sounds dumb, frozen pre-boiled water boils faster than normal water. It really does work!

Canned pumpkin...

I am aware... but its April. Why now of all times? This is very far from the season with the pumpkins. Why is now and the time this comes up? Who thinks about pumpkins in April!??!??

I have been on HRT for a little over two months. I am taking sprio and sublingual estradiol.

These treatments have pretty much cured my depression, but otherwise I feel pretty much the same. I kind of expected estrogen to feel actively different most of the time, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

However, today I felt my nerves for the first time on HRT, and it felt very different. I get stage fright on occasion. This time wasn't worse or anything, but it felt so very different. Like the nerves were in my body instead of my head.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with performance anxiety before and after HRT? I'd also love to know if are other experiences that feel distinctly different that I can look forward to.

Thx in advance. Love you all <3
