I’m a color blind guy who likes free software and hardware.
Used cast iron pans - last lifetimes and can be used for so much. French press - coffee, tea, chicory, herbs, mushrooms …
Honestly, I can’t think of much stuff at a higher piece point that isn’t specialized. Useful things tend to be relatively lower cost.
I carried a leatherman for years, but rarely used it. I find an adjustable wrench, picquick, pliers and box cutter more efficient and easier to use.
Although, I really want cool stuff.
I can’t think of a clearer or more concise answer.
Reading the thread, I learned what TRT is. I also see that maybe someone learned that search engines do not give the same results to everyone. Which is probably the best we can hope for. On the topic of taking hormones, if you really need it, you should take it. I don’t really think that all who take it really need it. I really don’t know, just my biased opinion from living in a country that has an economy based upon selling anything. I have a brother who takes it. Maybe for 20 years. He seems to blame all his health problems on other people, rather than the drugs he takes for hair growth and erectile distinction and whatever else he takes. I don’t know though. He could be worse without it. Like someone’s else said, it reduces your bodies ability to make it, so if you stop taking it, you might have more problems later. I think the problems with athletes taking it, show that it may not be good for you. Wow, I have lots of opinions. Hope that I’m not being an ass and actually contributing to the community.
LineageOs is basically android without google. You can install the google stuff if you want it, or use open source alternatives like microg. F-droid replaces Google play. It gives you access to all the open source apps that do the stuff you do.
Ubuntu touch is more of a full Linux distro that has been optimized for a phone. It works. Mostly things function, but it is limited. Not a lot of support for mobile type apps.
I’ve used both on a few phones. I daily use lineages. I don’t think Ubuntu is ready for daily use yet. I think with lineages, you could install it get it set up in a few hours. Take a week to find apps to replace the ones your used to. And you would not really notice that your on lineageOS.
My recommendations is to just install f-droid now and start using open source apps instead of whatever you are using. Slowly eliminate all the apps from google play. Take a month to see if you can live without google. If you can, switch to lineageOS. If not, at least you learned something.
Most commercials are predatory, meaning they are a bad value or take advantage of a group of people. Ie. Payday lending, pharmaceuticals, diets. Anything in that class should be avoided. Next is the selling to the wealthy. It may or may not be a good value, but it is only the wealthy that will buy it. Is. Cars, cruises, investment. If you have the money, go for it. Last is public announcements. These may or may not be worthwhile. So generally, if something is advertised, I don’t buy it. But I do sing the jingles. 8-)
Built by the owner of a greenhouse in a suburb of the city where you could prohibit the sale of land to blacks. They ended up buying 2 more lots and building two more houses. USA, Michigan. Sadly, the title still states that the property cannot be sold to a black or mixed race. Its no longer legal, but the title says it. Other than that, its built well. Almost all the stuff done to the house after the 70s is garbage. Ie. Vinyl siding, replacement windows, counters, plumbing.
I think it’s more of a bell curve. Your ability is somewhere on the up curve. If you practice, it will get higher. I practiced when I was younger. I am a poor shot. I tried later, I’m worse. I am neither eye dominant, so sometimes I hit, sometimes I don’t.
Try it. Maybe your good, maybe not. Practice can help you improve, but only if you change.
