  • The speech should be about what you admire about your friend, and his partner. I wouldn’t even mention you being trans unless that’s a large part of your friendship.

    Introduce yourself, tell a fun story that highlights what a great guy he is, explain how the couple is perfect for each other, and invite everyone to have a wonderful time.




  • It doesn’t work ‘out-of-the-box’ and there’s no obvious way to activate it. You have to go to their site and dig a bit, but here’s the instructions:


    • Go to the Android system settings

    • Navigate to

    Connected devices > Connection pre (you can also find it by inserting

    “Android Auto” in the search box)

    • Scroll to the bottom until you find “Version”

    • Click multiple times on “Version” to activate developer settings

    • Press “OK” in the activation dialog

    • After activation, click on the 3-dot menu in the top-right and go to “Developer settings”

    • Scroll down until you find “Unknown sources” and tick the checkbox

    -Restart your phone

    You should now be able to use NewPipe in the car interface

  • increased tire particulates, road wear, and general pollution from the raw materials required.

    Electric vehicle do wear down current tires more, and they do cause somewhat more wear on the roads … but these are issues that can be solved by creating better, more durable tires and roads.

    And the ‘raw materials’ do cause damage to the environment, but much less over the lifetime of the vehicle than a gas engine. And, the majority of the materials needed for the batteries can be recycled, so future vehicles will have less environmental impact.

    I agree that we need a mix of vehicles and I’m most places the mass public transportation options are very lacking, but overall I think if someone needs a car, they should look for an electric one.



  • why not buy the dip as well?

    I personally have a few reasons, the biggest is that I just don’t have the time to pay attention to the market that closely, especially since my trend line for the past year puts me right where I would have been regardless to what trump has done. It’s all been up and down, but the outcome is that my portfolio is exactly where it would have been at its prior growth based on the past few years.

    The other reason is that if I did join in with the sell high, buy low expectation that happens whenever trump says the word ‘tariff’ then I’d just be another person taking money from someone else who panic sold.

    And then there’s also the underlying fear that I’d screw something up and end up losing a good portion of my retirement trying to be greedy.
