I'd like to take a moment to congratulate all Americans for now legally being defined as women.

According to Executive Order 14168 (federalregister.gov/documents/), the "biological truth" of the genders has been legally defined:

(d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

Here's the problem, turns out that the universe isn't taking attendance at the time of conception and handing out little pink and blue genderino badges before your gonads even exist. At the moment of conception, EVERY embryo's default state is set to produce, eventually, the larger reproductive cell (the ova). It's not until 6-8 weeks AFTER conception that the Y chromosome, if present and activated, decides to show up to the party and begin the process of differentiation into a body that will, eventually, produce the smaller reproductive cell (the sperm).

So, once again, I'd like to congratulate literally everybody in America for, at this moment, being legally AFAB.

The @frameworkcomputer Laptop 12 might be the most repair-friendly laptop we’ve ever opened. Seriously. It’s shockingly easy to take apart, and for a touchscreen convertible, that’s rare. It earned a 10/10 on our repairability scale thanks to clever engineering choices:

- Screwless SSD clip.
- Cable-free battery removal.
- Clearly labeled mainboard.
- QR codes on every major part.

We tore it down. You can fix it up.

@mok0 i sincerely doubt US is not updated. But Trump is caught between dragging US actively in the war, and the risk of the biggest disapproval rate EVER.

Highlight of today's conversation with AT&T

Me: "we currently have an internet service with you, but I'm calling about a different service."

Them: "ok, do you have it with you now?"

Me: "have what?"

Them: "the internet service."

Me: "I have the account number yes."

Them: "No, not the account number, the internet."

Me: "Do I have the internet with me now?"

Them: "yes."

Me: "I don't understand."

Them, frustrated: "Can you physically touch the internet right now?"

Me: "What?"
