Reply to Why do we have kWh when we already had joules by flabberghaster

I like J as a shorthand for kWh or Newton-meters in units that incorporate joules.

kWh consumed per month makes more sense inside my heart than joules consumed per month.

I had to take the same intro-physics course twice despite passing both with perfect As, because of Paper reasons, so Joules will always be kilogram-meters-meters-per-second-squared to me. If someone expresses them as Pascal-cubic-meters or Coulomb-Volts then I will feel honestly quite Disgusted

Reply to comment by devtesla in tried asking my primary care doctor about getting my tubes tied, was discouraged by skookin

Planned Parenthood is great for its relatively-low-barrier-of-entry.

When I got HRT they were very "no questions asked, but also this is such a mysterious and possibly Dangerous Drug, and we will need a lot of blood from you". Which is a lot better than the experiences I heard to expect from anywhere else!

Reply to jstpst is now in the fediverse, kind of by nitori

i might be a scrooge and opt us out. it appears there aren't really any moderation tools so we could get followed and tracked by the very bad nazi instances, and i'd prefer not for them to have access to us.

The childfree subreddit on the other site used to have a list of doctors on their wiki page that wouldn't give you the runaround about getting your tubes tied. I'm not sure if it's still there, but if so, it may be worth seeing if your city / a nearby city is on the list, and reaching out to one of those doctors! Don't let one "no" hold you back.

Reply to i got rear-endeded yesterday (no car damage) by hollyhoppet

i got rear ended just over a year ago and now basically every time i brake i think about the car behind me hitting me. it's messed up

at the end of the day it's just a car though. the main thing is that nobody got hurt

Reply to comment by flabberghaster in i think i'm just going to use amazon actually by twovests

Amazon actually is less spammy, from the emails I received, and really does have better implications in data privacy.

Amazon is definitely evil, we are agreed, but I have only so much time and energy to expend and I only have so many compromises I can make.

I think I'll ultimately just not read these books, unless they arrive on the high seas or if I find myself in a bookstore in the coming years
