The lizards in charge of my buildings boiler (we dont have thermostats in the suites) turned on the boiler when it was finally dipping to 9° C, and then there was another mini blast of summer where it was peaking 26° C. I think it would be reasonable to wear a jacket or removable sweater outside, perhaps a blanket inside, but they decided that actually we needed full blast heat. Luckily I found my secret shut off valve, nyaha haaaa.... I can finally enjoy the chill.

Years ago, I lived with a roommate elsewhere and it was during a big heat dome. I went to my moms to escape the heat in a different city for a week, I couldnt deal with 40° C in the day and 30° C at night (no A/C, we have never needed it). I came back and my roommate had the heat on maxed out at 36°, so the boiler had been on. She was walking around in a bra and shorts. I never asked her what was up with that, it was mere silent acknowledgement...

    I use non coring needles from work but yeah you shouldnt inject plastic into your IM tissue. Youre not injecting straight systemic anyway so it's not like it'll float in your blood vessels, but its not great to have stuff deep in your subq or muscular tissue. I have some filter tip non coring needles as well, Ive had the same thing happen even with "non coring" needles. No big deal, I just use the filter tip needles for the rest of the vial.

    Wouldve been nice if it had lasted a full year though! Nice and poetic~ too bad this time, maybe vial 2 will last a year?

    I dunno, if you met someone who started the same time as you and did as much training, went out in girls clothes as much as you, told as many people aa you have in your life, what would you tell that person if they asked "why does it seem like its moving slow"?

    I'm an RN, my college explicitly says we don't have it as an entry to practice qualification. But it doesn't take much to get it, its usually a 1 or 2 day thing - costs a lot though.

    NPs can prescribe it too, but I dunno its such a big swing from what I wanted to do with it if I ever got it ..

    I have friends Ive dated then figured out we're better as friends, I have had relationships out of friends, Ive got friends I wouldnt date (both because we just arent attracted to eachoyher but also because although we're compatible we're better off platonic), I dunno if I would tell people to just go up to their friends and ask them out though over and above asking a stranger or acquaintance out intentionally lol. I think if the advice is, like, you're probably better off getting to know people before jumping in to asking someone out, thats all well and good - but I definitely wouldn't rate asking out friends higher than a stranger.

    The Friend Zone, conceptually is one party has a huge crush on the other and is intentionally or unintentionally strung along - unintentionally being strung along isn't really a thing but you get it. It does seem like way more a thing cishet dating than anything queer fwiw. Its definitely better to like ask someone out if you both know each other at least a little but Ive also been out on dates and had a relationship with people Ive asked out off the rip and people whove asked me out as a stranger. I definitely wouldnt say it is necessary to be friends first. Actually, Id find it a bit rude if I had someone I considered a dear friend reveal they only wanted to be friends to pass some imagined necessary middle stage of being a friend before asking me out.

    Also, who's to say a dynamic is easier or less confusing just because you were friends first? I don't think that's accurate to be honest, it's a big change and new if someone makes the leap between friends to dating - who knows, it could be just as mysterious as meeting a stranger you really fancy and asking them out.
