@billbennett $8 per day is fine, it's the whole, I tried to do that and got no roaming service and was still charged.
Of course, later on I found out that the U.S. is opposed to certain Chinese branded phones, which mine is, and that might be why I couldn't get any service through the U.S. company proxying the service. I ended up leaving my phone on airplane mode for the whole two weeks and using wifi when possible.
how would that work? In any group of people, there has to be leadership, and if it's a big enough group that leadership is known as the government, so... ?
It's been so cool to see all the solar eclipse pictures today.
If you're in NZ the next solar eclipse for us is July 22nd 2028. Dunedin will be in the totality of the eclipse, so if you want a chance to experience seeing the total eclipse, book your accommodation now.
If you want to read up about it @iangriffin talks about it in an article in the ODT.
@jonoabroad ah, so more like when the Explore tab has an interesting post, but then it updates and you can't find it anymore, because it isn't sorted in the same chronological ordering as the other tabs.
That means that in the Iowa caucuses:
2.3% of the adults in Iowa voted for Trump.
3.8% of the registered voters in Iowa voted for Trump
9.6% of registered Republicans voters in Iowa voted for Trump
Over 90% of registered republican voters in Iowa chose not to show up and vote for Trump.
@bhawthorne
How's the Republican voter participation number compare to Republican voter participation in the five previous caucuses? I.E., is this a normal turnout or unusually low?
@bananabob@KiwiEV most homes in the southeastern U.S. have central HVAC systems, and we just leave them on. I set mine to 26 in the summer and about 20 in the winter.
Since coming to terms with your gender, how often have you wished you were just a regular cis person of your gender? (E.g. trans fems wishing they were "just another cis girl")
And if you could reply, I'd love to hear why you have those feelings or thoughts. 💜
@JoscelynTransient
I'd think the answer would depend on whether you've done any physical transitioning, whether you plan to but haven't started yet or have finished the process.
Also, hi. Good to see you around on the fediverse.
The good thing about bad weather on New Year’s Eve is that the noisy, selfish neighbours won’t be broadcasting their appalling music on their deck and holding loud shouting matches until 3AM
The biggest misconception I personally experienced was that it was impossibly expensive to transition. I put off hormones for nearly ten years because I thought I could never afford to do it. Even without insurance, it's much less expensive than I thought.
It was a slow realisation for me in my 30s, that most women actually wanted to be women and liked having cycles and such. Up to that point I didn't understand why anyone in their right mind would want to be one (I think subconscious parts of me still don't).
