Hot take!
Light the blue touchpaper, then retire to a safe distance.
@zac Huh? That response means... Uh oh. We're *both* NPCs.
@zac Oh, you have a snout? I'll buy it from you for 3 bells.
Is everyone on another instance an NPC now?

I have an old 286 with both FDD sizes I needed to clean up anyway. The HDD was already formatted & empty, so I installed DOS on it (verifying my DSHD floppies work), & I'll bring in a bunch of DSDDs to make one bootable & sneakernet the installed OS over.
Aw, crap, these are DSHD disks, and my PC's only drive is DSDD.

We need more spaces for trans masc folks. We need them to feel welcome, and we need to support them, especially during their transition.
Even I admit I could be doing better. I keep trying to. I want to learn more about it, not just through medical documentation, but experiences of people who have gone/are going through it.
Call me out if you feel I'm ever being insensitive to something trans masc folks go through, please!
My sandwich of 5.25" MS-DOS floppy disks order came with a free side of 512 MB RAM stick because MS & eBay require all OEM software to be distributed with hardware. All it's missing is a bottle of Jolt.
@maple Yep, it's down again.
@maple A sparkly fairy wand or star wand, like one of these http://clipart-library.com/clipart/1453430.htm
@maple Good mewrning. 🐱
I have a 1.6 GHz desktop computer made in 2017 that takes longer to pass POST than the 4.7 MHz desktop computer made in 1981 that it's a long-descended clone of. I don't know where we went wrong.
