Alright gotta do this before I head out, transformers I mostly know them to do one thing and that’s changing voltage. You either have step up or what I’ve learned them for mostly in HVAC as step down as in changing 240 volts to 24 volts. There’s not much you really do to fix them if they aren’t working just make sure the wires coming in are actually secured on it and the lines out also. If it ain’t working you replace it with an OEM and move on but I done some digging into how they work. As shown in the image you got windings shown primary and secondary and how the voltage change depend on the ratio of windings you got and the voltage coming in. Something something Faradays of induction and you got EMF, look I’m not gonna pretend I fully understand it all yet but I’m trying. I know this component is real important since while the main things in HVAC require 240 volts a lot of safe guards and other components need just 24 volt to get working such as contactors and switches to get the power through. Anyway keep looking out on this mega as I add more through out the week as I try to educate myself on it by reading.

    egh I feel terrible again. At least no si rn. Just bad. Tired of this.

    Also tired of there always being a new terrible story. Like 4 this last week.

    Wish I had someone/was closer/better friends with more people. idk how to explain it. Just feel lonely I guess? Despite hanging out with a couple guy friends online (which is mostly nice, bit dysphoric but what isn’t) and my coworker today. I don’t really know what I’m looking for.

    E: like I actually do not understand. I got plenty of interaction today. From people I really like and our conversation earlier was super nice. Playing games was super nice. Why do I not feel like the social needs box has been checked.

    Got to talk with one of the supportive peeps at work today

    It was weird/funny to me that my being trans is more normal to her than it is to me. Its more foreign and weird feeling and everything to the trans person then the ally 💔 god I love her. Wish I saw her more.

    Overall my new job is going well, I learned one department of the building I clean is committed to getting a deal with no down payment at Big Bill Hell’s, somehow they piss on top of urinals, first few times I was impressed, but like watching Cirque du Soleil too much now I’m not. Other than physics defying messes no one gives me any trouble like in retail which is still a breath of fresh air, downside I learn way more about people’s health than I’d like to and its a bit concerning to observe powerlessly.

    Just rewatched matrix revolutions! Whoever says this movie is bad just has no taste! I really can’t understand why people hate on the matrix so much, it’s literally better than the Lord of the rings. Also Keanu Reeves does a good job of acting. Like the movies make sense like people who say it makes no sense don’t seem to have payed attention. Anywho rant over! I’m really excited to watch the animatrix with my friend next week.

    silly nonsense to take the edge off

    If I were to invent a religion it wouldn’t be lovey dovey or hippy dippy. It would be a religion that emphasizes the following:

    1. Cool AF mythology. The cooler the better. I want tons of eldritch gods.
    2. Pursuit of knowledge and mad science with the ultimate goal of eternal life.
    3. Epic WW3 for world conquest (to defeat the imperialists)
    4. Democratic centralism
    5. Monuments and shit
    6. Piracy (both internet piracy and the of seizing vessels bound for the EU)
    7. Space exploration with the goal of finding the gods in point 1, killing them to steal their essences (thus powers)

    Ok, so I just ended up making a more fun and less sane communist party.

    You know it’s kinda crazy that I take psychic damage now everytime I think about my parents. Even the concept of calling myself a woman hurts cause of that (indirectly, feels like I have to confront them). These people managed to curse me with eldritch corruption over a phone call which is quite the feat.

    misanthropy

    I forget how much I fucking hate people good lord. Honestly one of the biggest factors for this is the ridiculous, baseless shit they believe and spew and control my life with. If they put some fucking thought into their beliefs (and then actions) we’d all be in such a better place but even basic stuff is too much.

    Also how the fuck am I supposed to overcome this hump to starting voice training

    suicide

    I am genuinely going to kms instead holy shit. Voice training is awful shit. I genuinely, genuinely, genuinely need to kill myself instead. WHY THE FUCK DID I HAVE TO BE TRANS AND DO THIS SHIT

      Something to consider about dying

      If being trans is the most miserable thing that could happen to you, dying with a masc voice and everything else that stresses you out will ensure the most miserable final day.

      When you sit and look back on that potential last day, it’s the most hollow feeling you could imagine. The emptiness can be a good push to reconsider, but you don’t even need to get to that point to understand. If you can move the dial from full misery on whatever final day actually happens, your future self will appreciate it. You’re doing this for the future, after all.

      Blunt and potentially unhelpful

      Voice training will not kill you. Small, miserable steps are still progress. Maybe today you can only read about techniques, maybe next time you can only hum to match tones, but every step matters. Eventually, the misery stops following so closely.

      You’re not a failure for getting stuck sometimes. This shit’s difficult.

      I think you can do it.

        It is very hollow and sad to look back. So much misery and I accomplished so little.

        I have been slowly reading/listening to techniques and stuff for like a year and a half now. The misery has not improved. Even attempting it feels like the worst thing ever. I have no hope. When I rant on here about hating being trans, voice training is often one of the things at the forefront of my mind. I can’t explain it. I can’t possibly explain how horrible it is.
