JANE: (Where is he?)

JANE: (It's a question I've found myself asking many times in recent days.)

JANE: (Where now is our merry savior?)

JANE: (Where is the horn that was honking?)

JANE: (Where is the cape and the codpiece, and the...)

JANE: (What else?)

JANE: (Hrm...)

JANE: (I've always been pretty good at crying on cue.)

JANE: (Could I try staging an emotional breakdown?)

JANE: (That could work; playing to people's humanity.)

JANE: (Or whatever is the more inclusive term.)

JANE: (It could work.)

JANE: (One really good and calculated weep could do it, I think.)

JANE: (But then there's the danger that I might get carried away and do it for real.)

JANE: (And I can't risk that.)

JANE: (No... no, I'll have to stick to an ordinary eulogy.)

JANE: (As ordinary as it can be, under the circumstances.)

JANE: (Alright, let's see.)

JANE: (What can I say about him that will stir up their emotions?)

JANE: (Do I mention the stuff about the milk?)

JANE: (Think Crocker, think.)

My mom: do NOT bother your sister with unimportant things right now bc she has a school exam tomorrow!

Also my mom: calls ME 3 times because of highly unimportant stuff and then starts venting to me about whatever 2 days before i have a big uni exam.

#Like... Ok its almost chrismas so shes calling about gifts and stuff but its all stuff that doesn't even concern me #'can you look if they have this book in the store?' - sends me the link that literally shows if that book is in the store #'does it bother you if your sis gets the same monitor as you?' I literally sent her the link to that monitor so she can buy the same one #'your watch came back from repai im gonna pick it up and put it on your deskv cool im not gonna be home til friday so why do i need to know? #And those conversations wouldn't be that long... But no after that she starts complaining about her back or complaining about a client etc #And those conversations would take up a lot longer so i interrupt her and say i need to go #But then she gets pissed that im being so short and then i get pissed bc im stressed about the exam #And then she calls again an hour later and it all repeats like pleaseeeeee #I know we are all stressed the days before christmas but i literally have to study 237 pages of diagnostic criteria until thursday

One of the best forms of comedy is when someone would write “turn to page 237” in a schoolbook and then you would turn to page 237 and find that it had a medical diagram of the penis and balls or an illustration of someone taking a dump or something. Obviously you would only see it in school but I feel like it would probably still be pretty funny if someone did it with a secondhand or library book

#on the other hand sometimes you would turn to page 237 and find that someone had wiped a booger on the page and circled it #that was always a bummer #but you take the good with the bad in this beautiful world of ours

Do Vedas prohibit Shraadh..?

Markandeya Purana page 237 published by GeetaPress Gorakhpur, a conversation between sage Ruchi and his deceased ancestors clearly indicates that Vedas refuse the ritual of conducting shraadhs.

How to Buy a Computer for Cheaper

Buy refurbished. And I'm going to show you how, and, in general, how to buy a better computer than you currently have. I'm fairly tech-knowledgeable, but not an expert. But this is how I've bought my last three computers for personal use and business (graphics). I'm writing this for people who barely know computers. If you have a techie friend or family member, having them help can do a lot for the stress of buying a new computer.

There are three numbers you want to know from your current computer: hard drive size, RAM, and processor speed (slightly less important, unless you're doing gaming or 3d rendering or something else like that)

We're going to assume you use Windows, because if you use Apple I can't help, sorry.

First is hard drive. This is how much space you have to put files. This is in bytes. These days all hard drives are in gigabytes or terabytes (1000 gigabytes = 1 terabyte). To get your hard drive size, open Windows Explorer, go to This PC (or My Computer if you have a really old OS).

To get more details, you can right-click on the drive. and open Properties. But now you know your hard drive size, 237 GB in this case. (this is rather small, but that's okay for this laptop). If you're planning on storing a lot of videos, big photos, have a lot of applications, etc, you want MINIMUM 500 GB. You can always have external drives as well.

While you've got this open, right-click on This PC (or My Computer). This'll give you a lot of information that can be useful if you're trying to get tech support.

I've underlined in red the two key things. Processor: it can help to know the whole bit (or at least the Intel i# bit) just so you don't buy one that's a bunch older, but processor models are confusing and beyond me. The absolutely important bit is the speed, in gigahertz (GHz). Bigger is faster. The processor speed is how fast your computer can run. In this case the processor is 2.60 GHz, which is just fine for most things.

The other bit is RAM. This is "random-access memory" aka memory, which is easy to confuse for, like how much space you have. No. RAM is basically how fast your computer can open stuff. This laptop has 16 GB RAM. Make sure you note that this is the RAM, because it and the hard drive use the same units.

If you're mostly writing, use spreadsheets, watching streaming, or doing light graphics work 16 GB is fine. If you have a lot of things open at a time or gaming or doing 3d modeling or digital art, get at least 32 GB or it's gonna lag a lot.

In general, if you find your current laptop slow, you want a new one with more RAM and a processor that's at least slightly faster. If you're getting a new computer to use new software, look at the system requirements and exceed them.

I'll show you an example of that. Let's say I wanted to start doing digital art on this computer, using ClipStudio Paint. Generally the easiest way to find the requirements is to search for 'program name system' in your search engine of choice. You can click around their website if you want, but just searching is a lot faster.

That gives me this page

(Clip Studio does not have very heavy requirements).

Under Computer Specs it tells you the processor types and your RAM requirements. You're basically going to be good for the processor, no matter what. That 2 GB minimum of memory is, again, the RAM.

Storage space is how much space on your hard drive it needs.

Actually for comparison, let's look at the current Photoshop requirements.

Photoshop wants LOTS of speed and space, greedy bastard that it is. (The Graphics card bit is somewhat beyond my expertise, sorry)

But now you have your three numbers: hard drive space, RAM (memory) and processor (CPU). Now we're going to find a computer that's better and cheaper than buying new!

We're going to buy ~refurbished~

A refurbished computer is one that was used and then returned and fixed up to sell again. It may have wear on the keyboard or case, but everything inside (aside from the battery) should be like new. (The battery may hold less charge.) A good dealer will note condition. And refurbished means any flaws in the hardware will be fixed. They have gone through individual quality control that new products don't usually.

I've bought four computers refurbished and only had one dud (Windows kept crashing during set-up). The dud has been returned and we're waiting for the new one.

You can buy refurbished computers from the manufacturers (Lenovo, Dell, Apple, etc) or from online computer stores (Best Buy and my favorite Newegg). You want to buy from a reputable store because they'll have warranties offered and a good return policy.

I'm going to show you how to find a refurbished computer on Newegg.

You're going to go to Newegg.com, you're gonna go to computer systems in their menu, and you're gonna find refurbished

Then, down the side there's a ton of checkboxes where you can select your specifications. If there's a brand you prefer, select that (I like Lenovos A LOT - they last a long time and have very few problems, in my experience. Yes, this is a recommendation).

Put in your memory (RAM), put in your hard drive, put in your CPU speed (processor), and any other preferences like monitor size or which version of Windows you want (I don't want Windows 11 any time soon). I generally just do RAM and hard drive and manually check the CPU, but that's a personal preference. Then hit apply and it'll filter down.

I'm going to say right now, if you are getting a laptop and you can afford to get a SSD, do it. SSD is a solid-state drive, vs a normal hard drive (HDD, hard disk-drive). They're less prone to breaking down and they're faster. But they're also more expensive.

Anyway, we have our filtered list of possible laptops. Now what?

Well, now comes the annoying part. Every model of computer can be different - it can have a better or worse display, it can have a crappy keyboard, or whatever. So you find a computer that looks okay, and you then look for reviews.

Here's our first row of results

Let's take a look at the Lenovo, because I like Lenovos and I loathe Dells (they're... fine...). That Thinkpad T460S is the part to Google (search for 'Lenovo Thinkpad T460s reviews'). Good websites that I trust include PCMag, LaptopMag.com, and Notebookcheck.com (which is VERY techie about displays). But every reviewer will probably be getting one with different specs than the thing you're looking at.

Here are key things that will be the same across all of them: keyboard (is it comfortable, etc), battery life, how good is the trackpad/nub mouse (nub mice are immensely superior to trackpads imho), weight, how many and what kind of ports does it have (for USB, an external monitor, etc). Monitors can vary depending on the specs, so you'll have to compare those. Mostly you're making sure it doesn't completely suck.

Let's go back to Newegg and look at the specs of that Lenovo. Newegg makes it easy, with tabs for whatever the seller wants to say, the specs, reviews, and Q&A (which is usually empty).

This is the start of the specs. This is actually a lesser model than the laptop we were getting the specs for. It's okay. What I don't like is that the seller gives very little other info, for example on condition. Here's a Dell with much better information - condition and warranty info.

One thing you'll want to do on Newegg is check the seller's reviews. Like on eBay or Etsy, you have to use some judgement. If you worry about that, going to the manufacturer's online outlet in a safer bet, but you won't quite get as good of deals. But they're still pretty damn good as this random computer on Lenovo's outlet shows.

Okay, so I think I've covered everything. I do recommend having a techie friend either help or double check things if you're not especially techie. But this can save you hundreds of dollars or allow you to get a better computer than you were thinking.

hey a friend of mine asked me if i had any resources on butch identity but they really don't do well with, like, books, so i was wondering if you could recommend me stuff like articles or essays (anthologies i think are worth a shot too)? thanks!

So I might not be the best person to ask about it because I don't read that many articles, I'm more of a book person, but I was reminded by a friend when discussing this ask that a lot of books I enjoy are collections of essays so I'll make some recommendations for books still and you can pick out of those a few essays that might help your friend understand butch better.

Here's a few suggestions from the books I recommend probably the most:

The El Geneina Resistance Committee in West Darfur corroborated alarming findings from an unpublished UN Security Council Panel of Experts report on Darfur, which has already been widely circulated. The report, confirmed by a statement on the committee’s official Facebook page yesterday, details how assaults by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) resulted in the deaths of 237 patients. Among them, 37 women who died due to obstetric complications, along with 200 dialysis patients. The committee assert that the RSF, alongside allied militias, targeted health facilities and hospitals in El Geneina, ransacking and destroying them, thereby debilitating the city’s crucial health and treatment services. Eyewitness testimonies further allege the execution of patients within clinics during the attacks.
