Ah, true, stupid me.

Wouldn’t the bottle basically contaminate your food when heated for hours? Would it be better to use something safer for the inner container?

I’m not in a position to dictate my opinion as a call to action for others, yes. But I’m in a position to say that for me it sounds incomprehensible and fucked up. And this is precisely what I said in my original comment.

That’s my point, I don’t see a benefit of solving one thing at the expense of another to be strong enough, because in the end both suffer anyway.

This is very common treatmemt in modern medicine — not just for this particular case, but in general, e.g. a very simplified case: let’s kill your liver a little with the pill to treat your headache a little.

And with hormonal things it’s just the next level of messing up with your body — simply because of the sheer amount of different systems affected by a simple hormonal shift. And again, it’s not specific to this particular topic, something like hormonal contraception, for example, is another case from the same cohort. Does it prevent unwanted pregnancies? — Yes, it does. Is it worth messing up with your body to avoid some other kinds of contraception? Eeeh… up to you, up to you.

Whatever, block me.

Why would I? I’m free to express my opinion on things as long as I’m not harassing anyone (which I’m not). You disagree and don’t want to see it? Block button to the rescue.

Yes, but then you go through the depression of fucked up hormonal system, fucked up bones (as we see now), and fucked up shitton of other organs.

Science was once using this:

Look: instantaneous cure! For sale by all druggists!

You obviously can do whatever the fuck you want with your body. But the OPs article proves once again that one must think with their own head before pumping their body with “the current thing”.

It’s always easy to “fix” something you’re struggling with at the expense of something that’s pretty good. But it always bites you back. Always.

It’s not easy (not easy at all!) to stop, and start working on the main thing, but that’s the only way to deal with it — otherwise you fuck both things beyond repair.

And I’m not talking just identity and puberty, I’m talking all kinds of mental problems, relationship problems, family problems etc being solved at the expense of physical health (and for some people the other way around — physical problems being solved at the expense of mental health).

There resiliency margin of your “good” part is not that huge, and once it’s exhausted (and be sure the life will exhaust it even without your “help"), they both start hammering you.

So the plan is:

• delay depression / mask mental health challenges
• fuck up physical health
• wait until depression comes back, multiplied by the poor physical health
• “you’re adult now, darling, deal with it as you wish”

Yeah, this makes perfect sense.

I still can’t comprehend how a person could willingly take their (or their kids’!) overall healthy body, break it literally to the bones, and then keep patching it to restore some of its normal functioning. I’m all in for gender diversity, but this is just beyond fucked, sorry.

No, the other commenters are right — it’s between 100 and 150 depending on the angle. And it’s like this because we have 50 N + 50 N on both sides of the top pulley (classic pulley thing) + 50 N more attached to it at the bottom. Kinda confusing at first, not gonna lie :)

Okay, I’ve found a nice picture for it. Whoever sad 150 N (with the 180° angle, less with other angles) was right, and the rest of us were wrong :)

The problem with regulators is that they a) gladly suck corporate dicks, b) gladly opt-in for the same authoritarian methods of population control, and c) gladly ignore common sense altogether.

Updated it for 2026: Image

It should be 50 N assuming ideal system (0 pulley traction), right? What about non-ideal systems?

What’s the force in this point?

Ah, the best show! Can’t wait for it to get back to the russian TV!

What about Uranium? How expensive is that?
