    Hey all. I've started building a coal power plant in Poland, around -3848 70 -407. And I suddenly got an idea.

    To avoid having just 1 whole transmission circuit just for a tiny town, would anyone feel like copying the schematic of my distribution tower after I hook it up and creating clones of it (+ straight cabling) every ~500 blocks to the east all the way to the industrial district?

    That way I could also create a small transformer station & distribution network there and pretend that there's an actual power plant powering the industrial district with electricity.

    I would do this myself anyway, but it would be at the bottom of my TODO list and it'd also take me ages due to not using elytra. It should only be like 6 distribution towers and a little bit of cabling so it should be doable in more or less no time for someone with elytra + litematica easyplace

    Voice training will inherently be a few weeks of cringe but it really pays off. A little bit of "advice" I can hint to you is, as soon as you figure out the basics and are able to say sentences, stop "sitting down and doing training" and start using your voice as full time as possible. Mind you, if anything hurts, you're probably doing it slightly wrong by engaging more muscles than needed. Don't push yourself if it hurts, it's bad for you.

    Myself, I did the "first push" solo, using just a few youtube videos, the "praat speech analyser" software, and pure spite, and after the initial cringe and the initial difficulty of figuring out what the fuck "resonance" actually is, it was pretty easy and changed my quality of life massively.

    Nowadays I think I have the highest or 2nd highest voice all women I work with, and I can't even do my old voice anymore even when I try to. I'd have to voice train again just to do my male voice XD

    (As always, feel free to PM if anything)

    Honestly this is why ≥90% of the time I'm referring to you, I do so by substituting any pronouns with your username/name/whatnot, so that you're not implicitly perceived as anything but your own self. It's a small and relatively meaningless gesture, sure, but it's something

    (P.S.: Love the fangs - they look amazing and they definitely look like they belong to you)

    Congrats on the surgery from me too! Unsurprisingly, you summed up most of the reasons why I want to do zero-depth too, but I'll have to pay for it by myself anyway.

    To be honest, I don't have that much to say that I didn't already write in that long essay of mine from some days ago.

    It's just really interesting that in many ways I ended up the opposite of what I expected since I started transitioning, slowly and steadily changing but also becoming less fearful / more proud of being me etc. Contrary to my expectations, I've ended up being as binary as it gets, and I've finally found my place within a kind of "very standard" kind of femininity. If you had told me 3 years ago that this is who I'd gradually shift to be, rather than fighting gender norms or being androgynous or some shit, I'd have assumed you were crazy or something. Did I challenge an entire gender binary just to be one of the moms that decorate their entire house with stuff from Target and whose entire shtick is, I don't know, Starbucks® Matcha Frappuccino? Perhaps, and I'm all for it. It's been a very gradual process of what "feels right", "feels euphoric", or "makes me less dysphoric", but this is where I'm at and it feels awesome.

    I'm just joyous as fuck to have my super amazing partner and my best friend in my life. Life is good.

    Normally, "over" would be a lot easier, but with high speed rail you'd have to keep everything travelling towards the exact same direction on the exact same y-level, which complicates things a bit. Downside is it's a pain in the ass to spawnproof.

    Having dug a stupidly long (total: ~9000m long blue ice motorway) tunnel at deepslate level manually last season, I will say it's not as difficult as it sounds, but it gets tedious fast, and it's what burnt me out the most last season. Even with tunnel bores it'll still be a pain.

    For Poland in specific, I personally was never planning for an underground tunnel - just a normal train like the ones I ride irl every now and then. But I also can't control what others want to do with their own places, especially considering I wouldn't be involved in the construction for (possibly) months.

    I do indeed have long term plans for an overworld line. Though, sadly, due to a lack of time and due to the humongous planned size of my city, they are very long term plans. :|
