That fixed it. :3
May I ask you something else? Do you know how I can configure the layout of tables in Orgmode? Currently my table looks like this:
What I am missing is a separator between each column. I tried out various things through the LaTex attributes as it has been described here, but most stuff either broke my caption or didnt change anything at all about the table. I have not configured my table anything beyond giving it a caption.
So I have set them like this:
(setq org-use-sub-superscripts '{}
org-export-with-superscripts '{})
and it still does not render correctly. Writing log_critical and log_{critical} gets rendered as logcritical
For greater security, set the org-export-use-babel variable to nil, but understand that header arguments will have no effect in this case.
That worked perfectly.
Do you mean subscript, like HELLOWORLD? Also from the docs:
Thats exactly what it is. I setted both of the mentioned variable to "{}" like this:
(setq org-use-sub-superscripts "{}"
org-export-with-superscripts "{}")
however, when I write something like this: log_{critical}_{error}, it gets rendered like this: logcriticalerror
When doing C-h k _ I get the following message:
_ runs the command org-self-insert-command (found in org-mode-map),
which is an interactive native-comp-function in ‘org.el’.
It is bound to SPC..~ and \200..\300.
(org-self-insert-command N)
Like ‘self-insert-command’, use ‘overwrite-mode’ for whitespace in tables.
If the cursor is in a table looking at whitespace, the whitespace is
overwritten, and the table is not marked as requiring realignment.
This function has :before advice: ‘org-fold-check-before-invisible-edit-maybe’.
I also se the latest version of emacs (30.2)
What the hell is wrong with their website? Even when enabling Java Script and Disabelung ad/tracking blockers it still won’t load
I have the same problem, especially if I’m riding a bus/train. I need almost exactly 15 minutes to the train station. This means, that I should leave my apartment 20 minutes before departure, which means, that I will leave 25-30 minutes before departure, because I’m stressing out, that I might miss the train. This of course means, that I will be there way to early and promise myself, that I will leave a few minutes later next time, just to repeat the exact same mistake.
EDIT: Maybe you have some other mode you have active making underscore do something special? You might hit C-h k _ in org-mode to see what the underscore key is invoking. On my system, it’s org-self-insert-command.
Thats exactly what is the case, is there any way to unbind it? Could not really find anything regarding that.
Thanks, thats exactly what I was searching for.
No its saying, that researches should not invent arbitrary problems that look god when solving them, without actually doing the real problem.
Its basically what you said. They searched for ways to optimize the problem to the solution and not the solution to the Problem.
It is of course possible, but we still have the decoding. In the end its all just electro magnetic waves we interpret in a certain way. Of course its possible, but maybe not as easy as someone might think.
as long as they can decide the transmission.
That is the Problem. Even something as basic as a simple transmission can become quite hard to decode when you can’t make any assumptions about how their technology works. This may start with things as simple as that they might not use binary logic, but tertiary logic instead. They might not use 8 bits as a smallest package of date. And then we have the big problems of how do we actually decode it. We as humans have tables for which bit sequence means which character, they probably dont have the same. They might use different logical levels/protocols for communicating single bits and so on. Sending a simple message to be decoded by aliens is everything but simple.
I think we all need some (girl-) cuddles
Youre welcome.
However I still highly recommend reading the general introduction into mtf HRT that I linked and if you want to take Hormone blockers, that you also read the corresponding articles about them.
it takes 4-6 weeks until your levels normalise again. So take that into account when you want to do blood tests.
When starting HRT a lot of people do something called a “loading dose”. Lets assume our target dose is 5mg/week. WHen you take 5mg/week it takes about 4-5 weeks until you reach the steady state. However when you start with a loading dose of 9mg for your first injection you reach your stable state in about 2 weeks (Source). This means, that you avoid or minimise the time where you have no dominant sex hormones and the correlated issues. You should then get regular blood tests and adjust your dosages.

I did not forget you, so here is my TED-/Nerd-Talk about mtf-HRT. This talk will go about the basics of how to do DIY-HRT but this is also valuable knowledge, to know when you get HRT through official channels. This topic also insanely complex and it is almost impossible to pack all of it into a single lemmy comment
I am not a medical professional, I am just a random trans woman on the Internet who has done some research in order to pursue DIY-HRT for herself. I do not give out medical advise, anyone seriously interested in doing DIY-HRT should do their own research. I also only know about mtf-HRT and not about ftm-HRT or HRT for nb-people. Most of my information can be found on the website transfemscience.com. It is a great website and everyone interested in the topic can read more about it there. For a general broader view about the topic I can only recommend this article: https://transfemscience.org/articles/transfem-intro/
By mtf-HRT we mean, that a person who is AMAB, and therefore has a testosterone based hormone-system, who is taking estrogen in order to change their body by going through a “second (estrogen based) puberty”. (Note: I will refer to Testosterone as T and Estrogen as E for the rest of this post)
Our Body kind of does not give a shit about which sex hormones are present in our System. So if youre AMAB and suddenly start taking E your body will just be like “lets do E based puberty”. We as humans also have the genetics for how we look with different dominant Sex hormones and which ever hormone is present in our body decides how look and are. So once we start taking estrogen we are guaranteed to experience a wide range of changes. All in all its a second puberty. Under the influence of estrogen our emotions will shift (crying gets easier, you have “higher highs” and “lower lows”), you will start to grow boobs, and a lot of fat redistribution will happen to make you look more feminine (more fat in the face, hips, chest, thighs), your skin will get smoother, hair will grow faster, body hair grows slower and gets lighter, you may shrink a bit, you will no longer get random erections, you may loose your sex drive and probably like 50 other things that I forgot.
We as humans have 2 major sex hormones. Testosterone and Estrogen. They are kind of antagonistic. Their effects counteract in some forms and you can only have one dominant sex hormone at a time. So as a human you need to have either high levels of T and low levels of E or high levels of E and low levels of T. Having no dominant sex hormone (low levels of T and E or “medium” levels of T and E) can cause osteoperosis, cause “brain fog” (thinking gets quite hard and you have no energy) and a lot of other serious issues. Another Important thing is, that T and E suppress each other. So if you’re AMAB and take E it will start to suppress your testosterone production. Our sex hormones also have quite a short half life in our blood and will decay quite fast.
As already said we only want one dominant sex hormone in our system. This means, that we want to alost completely suppress our natural T production to a cis-female range while boosting our estrogen levels (ideally to a cis female range).The typical hormone levels of a cis people are about this:
Hormone cis-female range cis-male range
(mean across
menstrual
cycle)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Testosterone <50pg/ml <500pg/ml
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estrogen 100-200pg/ml 8-35pg/ml
This can be acieved by taking high doses of E or lower doses of E with Testosterone Blockers. There are various application forms for both of these. However since I do not take testosterone blockers (more on this later) I wil focus mainly on estrogens. I also use injections, so I know more about them and not that much about other application forms.
There are various application forms of estrogen:
Oral Estrogens usually come in pill form and is de facto the worst form to take estrogen. As everything that we consume the estrogen has to go through the liver first. The problem with this is, that the liver filters out a lot of the estrogen taken. This causes an additional strain on your liver and there will be no “buffer effect”. All the estrogen directly goes from your liver into your blood. This causes quite sharp spikes in your estrogen levels in your blood, that fall back quite quickly. To counteract this you have to take quite high amounts of estrogen multiple times daily. However this if often not enough to fully suppress your T into cis female ranges. This is why oral Estrogen usually has to been taken with T-Blockers.
Sublingual Estrogen means dissolving the estrogen under your tongue. It has the same problems with creating stable levels of estrogen as oral estrogen, however it does not go through the liver first, so it is still better than oral estrogen, due to reduced risk of side effects (more on this later).
There are various gels and sprays that you apply to parts of your body that then get absorbed by your skin. The advantage is, that the estrogen gets absorbed into the body fat and then slowly goes into your bloodstream. This causes relatively stable level of estrogen and it may also be possible to completely suppress testosterone just with gel or spray.
Injecting estrogen is the most efficient way of taking estrogen. You inject a carrier oil with one of multiple estradiol esters (different forms of estrogen with different half lives/absorption rates, wont go into detail about that) into your body fat or into your muscle. I personally do subcontaneous injections, but thats also because I am kind of to scared to inject something into my muscle and because you loose more estrogen due to more deadspace because you have a longer needle. The advantage is, that injecting it causes the so called “depot-effect”. This means, that all of the estrogen gets absorbed slowly into you blood. Since estrogens meant for injections also have quite high concentrations (often about 40mg/ml) you can easily achieve estrogen levels high enough to completely suppress your natural T-production to cis-femal ranges. This means, tha in a lot of cases it is perfectly fine to do injections once a week (depending on what estrogen esthers you use and what dosages you have).
Testosterone blockers are used when your estrogen medications are not enough to completely suppress your natural T-production. Some blockers do not suppress your natural T-production but instead block the receptors to which testosterone would normally dock. The problem a lot of blockers have is, that they often have a quite high range of possible side effects. I do not know that much about them, since I dont take them so please inform yourself about them and their associated risks.
There are some possible side effects. Since you will be growing boobs theres obviously an increased risk of breast cancer. However the absolute risk is usually not higher than those of cis females. Theres may also be a risk of blood clots, however this is a somewhat controversial topic. However current research (a good analysis can be found [here](https://transfemscience.org/articles/estrogens-blood-clots/] makes it looks like, that as long as you have estrogen levels in the cis-female range or slightly above there is no increased risk of blood clots. Various testosterone blockers have a wide variety of side effects. You should not ignore these as blockers like Cyproterane Acetate has an increased risk for brain tumors. You can find articles about that ontransfemscience.org.
This is basically how I do it. This means, Estradiol Enathanate monotherapy. This means, that I inject high enough doses of Estrogen into my body fat, that I do not need to take testosterone. A very useful tool for visualizing estrogen levels can be found here
Estradiol Enathanate has a relatively long half life, which means that you usually only have to do injections once a week. This is great, if you dont want to take your meds that often. You also want to have a stable dose. So your equipment should be able to make accurate dosages. Insulin syringes are quite great for this. Dosages usualy are between 4-7mg/week depending on how much Testosterone you produce naturally (yeah you should get blood tests before you start (if possible)). If you change your dosage it

Maybe, idk. Probably if they would lean more to the masculine side.
I should add, that I do consider myself straight, but I would not 100% deny, that I Am maybe bisexual/pansexual.
An exert from this sites “about” page
In the liberal West, a clear majority of people support LGBT rights. However, many are turned off by extreme rhetoric that supports authoritarian policy proposals. They are alienated by a vocal minority of radical activists who falsely claim to speak for the LGBT community. In this respect, QM stands up for that silent majority against extremists of all persuasions.
In short: Terfs
Thank you very much.
