I'm running this. My friend got the original Fold, and she kept using it until the Fold5 came out and got that one. She still has the original and it's in good condition, so that bodes very well.

So far I like the Fold4. The big screen is nice for videos or even normal use (I have it open as I type this), but the small screen is fine for when you just need to see the time or something, and it fits in my pocket even better than the s2x ultra or whatever did.

Edit: typo

Bet you it already exists. Either it's been made and sold physically, or someone else has an STL you can use.

Mum as in quiet is uncommon but not unheard of in the us. Probably more common than mum for mother, anyway.

"Mum's the word"

A progressive tax that means the biggest users pay the most would probably be ideal (but then that's mostly true in every situation)

Honestly for me it has much better synching. It took a little work to move everything over, but far less than I anticipated.

There's a video service my therapist uses that refuses to run in Firefox. I expect it probably could, but it's a lot less work to just launch chrome for that one use case.

I'll totally make that argument for a lot of rap and hip hop. But I don't make sweeping generalizations that it's all of it, because it's not and there is some of either that I enjoy, so...

I think the first season was pretty excellent. The mystique disappeared a little bit after that, which definitely changed how the episodes felt going forward, but it was still good

It still happens, but I don't believe it's as common as it once was (per capita intersex person, which is also a very small number)

Um, ackshually, eunuchs are in the Bible, including Jesus saying that some people "become eunuchs" to get closer to God. So...

Trans surgical procedures have some of the best outcomes of any major procedures. they are performed on consenting individuals who are always well informed and at or very near adulthood, and only after many other interventions have been ongoing. People who receive these interventions show incredibly low rates of regret (compare for example the percent of people who regret knee replacements or probably circumcisions), and enjoy increased happiness and satisfaction by almost any metric.

Basically every major medical organization in the world (and certainly in America) agrees these interventions are medically useful and should be performed. While there are doctors who dissent, they are in the vast minority and almost never actually work with any trans people, but rather insist all the doctors who do work with trans people must be wrong. It's not a controversy in the medical world, just the political one.

So, yeah. To paraphrase, "When reviewed by people without the same clear and obvious cultural bias, circumcision only conclusively provides an incredibly marginal benefit, with evidence lacking for other supposed (and still very marginal) benefits."
