Yeah, I think wishy washy "too careful" language is annoying to everyone involved in the conversation. Overly vague language instead of just using the correct syntax serves nobody.

I don't remember the context or the exact question, but I do remember saying at some point, on the topic of gender and sexuality, something along the lines of "I was born with a penis, I like it that way, and I enjoy inserting it into opposite genitalia". I found that to be the easiest way of clarification. To my defense, this was before I learned what "cisgendered" meant and I just wanted to make sure there was no ambiguity. This was in 2010 or thereabouts.

Possibly, my impression is 100% based on internet advertising and what I've seen for sale at US gas stations. I'm thankful I don't need it, I just wasn't aware that non-scam versions of creams like that existed.

That sounds more like gender affirming self care

I thought those gels were a scam. Do you apply it where you want (more) hair growth?

Considering the amount of sugar in US bread, I'd say they already are.

Does this mean that the older term term "sex change" is more appropriate?

Note to self: Get around to wiring my UPS onto my management network for monitoring and graceful shutdown of non-essential stuff.

Anything made to be run from battery can work fine without one. Worst case scenario requires you to spoof some I²C communication to properly emulate a battery, but most devices and batteries are far dumber than that. DC is DC, and sometimes you just need to graft something on top for the other pins.

Source: My old laptops charging circuit failed, so I soldered the charger onto the battery pins instead. Then I replaced the actual battery with an Adafruit Itsybitsy 32u4 (because that what I happened to have available) that emulated the battery status of "Charging, nothing to see here, move along" and sent it via I²C
