Alright gotta do this before I head out, transformers I mostly know them to do one thing and that’s changing voltage. You either have step up or what I’ve learned them for mostly in HVAC as step down as in changing 240 volts to 24 volts. There’s not much you really do to fix them if they aren’t working just make sure the wires coming in are actually secured on it and the lines out also. If it ain’t working you replace it with an OEM and move on but I done some digging into how they work. As shown in the image you got windings shown primary and secondary and how the voltage change depend on the ratio of windings you got and the voltage coming in. Something something Faradays of induction and you got EMF, look I’m not gonna pretend I fully understand it all yet but I’m trying. I know this component is real important since while the main things in HVAC require 240 volts a lot of safe guards and other components need just 24 volt to get working such as contactors and switches to get the power through. Anyway keep looking out on this mega as I add more through out the week as I try to educate myself on it by reading.

You can throw us back on the schedule :3
current events, transphobia
I feel like I’m going fucking crazy. So the 4th circuit just put out a really scary ruling saying out right care bans for adults are a-okay. Even further then what republicans wanted. The NHS in the UK is doing a report into if adult care is going to stay or not (after their report taking care away from kids). What the fuck is happening??!!!

If you didn’t see that news, it’s because no one here cared. Both threads sitting at 20~ votes. One comment each. Even people here don’t give a fuck, is this not huge news?? I feel like I’m going crazy, I’m not over reacting am I?? Like these are both big, scary, crazy steps towards just banning us completely???
spoiler
The legal stuff changes too much all the time for me to make sense of or track any of it. I know I should keep up, but there are so many things I should think about, plan for, keep up with while my brain barely works. These are such difficult and confusing times I don’t know ,
What the fuck is happening??!!!
The Anti-Christ is descending upon earth and the empire is trying to engineer the apocalypse. I guess.
is this not huge news?? I feel like I’m going crazy, I’m not over reacting am I?? Like these are both big, scary, crazy steps towards just banning us completely???
It is huge news, but probably drowned out in terms of attention by the war. You are not overreacting. On other forums where this news was discussed it blew up.
It is huge news, but probably drowned out in terms of attention by the war.
Porn addicts getting their data leaked got 80 votes. An old study about crowd movement (fascinating stuff, to be sure) got 60. A crusty ass my son vs your son meme got 60. A new emoji submission got 50. A few birds got 40. There are tons of posts that got more attention that aren’t about the war. People here don’t care.
I know I’m not overreacting I just wanted to bitch
about this sitein general.Yeah …
Sucks ass
I’m beginning to think that cis “people” are incapable of empathy
I’m terrified
I hate being trans

The audacity of my mom to say
- “You can tell me anything” (has been only 2-3 weeks since she fucked me over for coming out the closet)
- “I dreamt that you were crying, I’d there anything you want to tell me?” (Go fuck yourself mom. You feeling vaguely guilty doesn’t undo the damage you did)
I can’t even trust that this all isn’t a manipulation tactic
PartnerFiance asked if I want to get married.But some of our friends also recently announce their engagement like last week and it’s a really big deal to them so we’re keeping this down low for a bit so they can have their time in the spotlight.
So instead I’m just posting about it on a website for trans communists. I get to be a little excited at least.
Congratulations that’s awesome news!
I talked last mega about how the dam of my emotional repression was cracking, and was going to break under the rising waters of estrogen.
Instead I went out deep in the forest and picked up a clump of moss. It slowly crept along my skin. Now there’s a thick layer over my whole body. My memories from before I was a moss creature feel stranger and stranger.
Is that a better state than before?
Absolutely. It’s lovely
Fuck yeah!!! Maybe those old memories will just break down into compost and feed the moss.
That sounds very chill, happy for you!
Got to talk with one of the supportive peeps at work today
It was weird/funny to me that my being trans is more normal to her than it is to me. Its more foreign and weird feeling and everything to the trans person then the ally 💔 god I love her. Wish I saw her more.
Finally ordered a bra. Had to get my own Amazon account and free trial of prime so it comes tomorrow since I’ve been sharing one with my mom hitherto (and paying for it, which feels silly. I guess I do make more money than her. More parentification perhaps?). I hope it fits well enough
omg I thought you were sharing one bra with your mom
Great depression ass scenario

Only the coolest megathread gets to see this picture of one of the cats I just took

Looking pretty cozy and toasty
I captured a gardevoir and she’s a trans girl. I only have girls in my team, if the pokémon follow me they’re girls, I don’t care what the game says, even the “male” alolan raichu is a girl
I remember using hacks on my 3ds to change the gender markers on my pokemons

I don’t really care about it, honestly. It’s just funny to pretend that the feminine looking male pokémon is trans
My two standards of when I’ll feel like I’m actually a girl are:
- getting a modicum of attention from sapphic women
- getting harassed by men on the street
Probably not the healthiest things to judge my worth on but it do be like that sometimes
-getting a modicum of attention from sapphic women
Damn need
Same

I wish you many lovely "getting dragged to the Dancefloor by a friendly lesbian"s in your life :3

There is a very hard boundary between when cishet men started hitting on me in really gross ways in public lol, no idea why or what it was but on one side I passed to sapphic women and the other presumably passed to everyone
The other day I walked around with my long hair down (I usually have a bun or ponytail) and I noticed I was getting like horny stares from men instead of the usual disgust/scared and I was like, gross and huh milestone I guess.
From experience the first one is a lot more fun. I hope you get a lot of that and a minimum amount of the second.
bad lifestyle choices
My current lifestyle consists of me constantly switching between caffeine, alcohol, dopamine/internet content and work from about 6 am to midnight and then it takes me an hour of tossing and turning and weeping till I fall asleep.
As you can imagine, it is very healthy.
(please turn the thoughts off I want them gone gone gone gone gone gone)
I think a lot of us can relate. I sure can.
do I go for a sports bra or a bralette first? the homies have gotten to the point where it can hurt a bit when taking stairs too quickly but I don’t really feel the need for “support” throughout the day other than that. I’d like it to have a bit of a minimizing effect as well since I’m still boymoding for a bit. 42C/43D if it matters, though that’s mostly on account of my ribcage
I started off with a sports bra and even though my chest size grew significantly I can still use em just fine for moving round with no troubles.
Only problem was my first sports bra gave me back pain. Idk what was up with it (had those cross strings on the back. Maybe that has something to do with it?)
i went with a sports bra before they got too big and i started presenting femme full time
I did a bralette first for a while until they got too big for it. Anti gravity boobs rock
I’ve been doing padded sports bra, since early on. Feels comfortable, looks good. I’m going to buy traditional bras when things stabilise
I took a shower in a locker room at a gym after working out!!! This has been a significant milestone!
Hell yeah no longer stinky
Nother day with nothing accomplished! Instead of doing my tasks I spent my time yearning for what could have been had I been born in a world with magic (instantaneous perfect sex change) or magic (loving and accepting society)
Relatable
slightly horny
i was trying to infodump about ww2 to my partner and they were too busy w my hrtitties to pay attention, so these must be the consequences of transitioning I was warned about
