Occasionally I see confused people suggesting trans people should avoid cosmetic surgery through self acceptance and, ok, WPATH explains why that's wrong, but also I kind of want to flip up "MAYBE CIS PEOPLE SHOULD DESTIGMATIZE HAVING PLASTIC SURGERY THEMSELVES" like a trap card
Under the most recent rules, insurance will sometimes cover procedures otherwise considered "cosmetic" for trans people, because WPATH considers congruent self image "medically necessary". What if insurance covered nosejobs for cis people? Shit, why not?? You're paying enough!!
Ladies and men who don't like how you look with beards: Permanent hair removal!! It's great!! It's cheap, compared to some other things!! Got like three hairs on your chin you're always shaving off? Zap 'em off! It'll take like one, two sessions, cost like a hundred bucks, $300
Do you have a unibrow? Do you hate your unibrow? You can kill it!! Leg hair dies hard but unibrows and Three Chin Hairs die easy. You don't have to be trans! You can just like your face more than you like it now!!
* Double all prices if you're dark-skinned or red-haired. Sorry

I'm currently listening to music in the format of
- A vinyl record
- Being played into a digital audio interface, then lossy-compressed to AAC, then streamed to another continent
The music likely contains magnetic tape echo effects so we've prolly got 80 years of artifacting here
I asked and there are no magnetic tapes on the album but some of the mastering equipment used vacuum tubes so at least we've got some of the character
So I'm reading this Greg Egan book, and this section of the book is Tenet, it's just Tenet, except he worked out all the math for how physics would work in a universe where the Einstein metric tensor was such as to make Tenet possible, and there's a full treatment of entropy
Also Egan wrote this book in 2013, so to be clear Egan did not get the *idea* from Tenet, unless Greg Egan himself is moving backward through time, presumably due to the corolois effect (he's Australian). That's how it works right? You flush the toilet & water rushes up into it?
If I'm reading this cryptocoin's documentation right, part of how their algorithm works is they literally gave Intel a hardware monopoly on servers operating the coin's network, via their use of SGX on the servers
I'm struggling to understand what the blockchain resolution method is. It appears to be byzantine agreement and they don't say they're using DBA, which to me means it's centralized (IE, it would mean every server has to be whitelisted by the mobilecoin company?)
