WEL Energy Trust Elections

Looks like these have been given out over the past few days! Just want to remind everyone that while these seem relatively unimportant; these are the people who decide what gets funded, choose how to use our rebates and decide which communities get support. This directly effects the amount we see for our yearly WEL Energy Discount which you should of seen as a credit on your power bill around April-May

Interestingly enough, the person who posts the "What's going on in Hamilton this week" posts here u/benwnz1 is running as an independent for this very election, I don't personally know him but I'd like to give him a shot.
Link to one of those said posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/thetron/comments/1tpm58z/35_things_to_do_in_hamilton_this_week/

Regardless of who you end up voting for, please have a read through all the candidates and vote for people who best represent you. It can all be done online too!

AMA: I am a transgender New Zealander, Let's have an honest back and forth

As it's been posted on the subreddit, National and Act are rumored to be supporting the bill for NZ First's Gender bill. https://www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361007763/national-and-act-vote-through-nz-firsts-gender-bill

Let's talk about it

A bit about me:
- I am a 33 year old transwoman
- Work a 9am - 5pm office job
- Live in the Waikato
- In a long term (9 years) healthy relationship
- I have a very cute cat
- I'm about as vanilla of a person as they come
- I began transitioning at 31

My initial thoughts before kicking this off:
It is incredibly disheartening to see the National party potentially support this bill at the first reading. While I am obviously not a supporter of the party I genuinely thought they would have enough of a spine to take the corporate route and disregard the topic as a waste of Government time and resources, they have more important issues to deal with etc etc but instead they look to be getting sucked into a fabricated culture war going after 0.7% of the New Zealand population.

The excuse of passing this through to select committee so we can all have a discussion about it is weak at best and does nothing but entice violence from both already established extremes (in support of and against) I promise you, the average everyday transgender individual ultimately just want to be left alone. It is exhausting having to defend my existence every single day, being used as a political punching bag and told I do not deserve to have rights.

The fact of the matter is if you do not already have a stance on this, you're likely never going to because the effect it has on you is quite literally zero. This is completely fine, in fact I wish this was the status quo.

No doubt over the next couple of weeks you are going to see very targeted attacks in order to sway public opinion, we're human beings and this hurts a lot. So lets talk about it and have a honest, respectful back and forth. Chances are most of you don't personally know a transgender individual and maybe not even had the chance to talk to one. Here I am!~

I wont humor hate speech or abuse, this won't get a response out of me, I've seen it all already! While I cannot speak for every transgender individual I can offer my genuine thoughts on any questions you have

Auto play - 0 Cycle Arbitration Run's

Hello fellow mains~
I've decided to do a show and tell of my different 0 Cycle Anomaly Arbitration clears using Autoplay with different supporting units, in all examples below my Eva has the below build and both YG and EMC are unchanged, the only variable is the 4th slot

https://preview.redd.it/a94nttlvv81h1.png?width=2200&format=png&auto=webp&s=c970d7beda0dcd81fa7a7941884a381bf7c49aee

Fixed Team:
E2S1 Evanescia (Sig LC)
E0S5 Yaoguang (Using Mushy's)
E6S5 Elation MC (Using Herta Shop LC) - Has Vonwacq + 2p mix and matched Speed relics

Team 1:
Huohuo E0S5 - Shared Feeling LC
By far the most comfortable run, Huohuo just puts out insane energy regen for Eva and having the ability to heal is nice, I prefer having Eva in the second slot (losing Lushakas Atk% buff on Eva) so Huohuo will always skill on her which AoE heals YG and EMC. I'll likely pivot YG into Vonwacq or Broken Keel at some point

https://preview.redd.it/l2eau23fe81h1.png?width=1051&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f227878e905507e1cd4292fb32becf3c3a5f377

From this point I forgot to move my Eva back to Slot 1 to take advantage of Lushakas Atk% buff LMAO. I kept these runs this way as it shows that 12% Atk buff doesn't really change anything

Team 2:
Ruan Mei E2S1 - Sig LC
BRUH, Evanescia just obliterates mobs, E2 not really required here as the Atk% buff doesn't change much for the team however E1 doing some heavy lifting here

https://preview.redd.it/9y2epgedt81h1.png?width=1056&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d9b994f55fa3713cd474021baa12748706f5b36

Team 3:
Sparkle E1S1 - Sig LC
This one was a bit awkward but was my fastest clear. Sparkle would AA Eva to attack before Aha Instant which resulted in dropping Certified Banger stacks early however the Crit DMG buffs she was providing basically turned Eva into a nuclear bomb.

https://preview.redd.it/4vyq37vmt81h1.png?width=1032&format=png&auto=webp&s=25a5254fb4f2241aa6a486a5f5447487a16ac28c

Team 4:
Tribbie E0S5 (Dance, Dance, Dance LC)
This really messed with my Aha Instants but Tribbie is such a disgusting broken unit that it didn't matter. Combined with DDD she basically gives Eva an ADHD diagnosis. The rules of the game now require Eva to take Adderall. E1 would have made this fight a complete joke.

https://preview.redd.it/23o1ljfv091h1.png?width=1038&format=png&auto=webp&s=c0d812ad01749dca7e5a70b097a03f9fe6ee9070

Team 5:
Cyrene - E0S5 (Herta Shop LC)
I couldnt make this work, if I had Sig LC this would be an insane run, E1 would provide meaningful QoL. Easily viable for 0 Cycle, would be very strong I just don't have the right puzzle pieces

https://preview.redd.it/6oz5aoxku81h1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=ce5731e28c850b53d6e8444efe0a1e695bffae7a

Basically I'm finding that anyone that is able to supply Eva with Crit Dmg buffs or Defense ignore can fill this slot for now and it's not going to greatly impact your build

Characters I couldnt zero cycle with that I own:
DHPT E0S1 - (Random Destruction LC for ATK)
Hyacine E2S1 - (Likely possible if I altered her build but she lives on Casto comp)
Robin E0S5 - (For Tomorrows Journey, also tried S4 Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds. I could probably try use Ruan MEI LC and see success)
Silverwolf E0S5 - (Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat)
Welt E4S2 - (Along the Passing Shore, this one is likely just a shit build, I believe I could make this work if I updated Unc's build)

Characters I still want to try but don't have builds for at the moment:
Asta - I really want to see if I can make work LMAO
Yukong - Interesting as ult gives the team a 65% Crit Dmg buff and skill gives 80% Atk, I guess it depends on how this interacts with Aha Instant. In theory should tick the box on my above statement so I'm going to see if I can scrape together a usable build to test

Alright fellow Evanescia mains, introducing my "soon to be strongest character" on my account!

The reality of me getting further viable upgrades here is minimal as I would just be juggling a few percent here and there but this means my Castorice premium team will finally be able to retire and our Magical Bunny Girl will take the lead from here

https://preview.redd.it/1uv1h61uauzg1.png?width=1650&format=png&auto=webp&s=decd63bae820c74d6ae1d826f04f2251a8c89e12

Before anyone asks:
Why Def% Orb??? - Cause I got banging sub-stats on it and to be honest I don't vibe with Huohuo's healing, I actually like the idea of being a little bit tanky as the loss of only 4% - 9% DPS is better than the Loss of 100% damage cause I'm dead.
Although - a Phys% Orb would take me into WTF Tier category which would actually be sick, the reality is it would need to roll sub-stats atleast as good as the current one (can afford to lose 2.6% crit though)

https://preview.redd.it/sgq7wgx9buzg1.png?width=1109&format=png&auto=webp&s=f169ebf0f733ed7050f6101073ea4bb6279017e9

Realistic Upgrades though:
Hands can be replaced (trust me I am TRYING) with something that rolls purely into Crit Damage with a Atk% line
- Can afford the 6.6 Speed Loss
- Can afford the 2.9% Crit Rate Loss
- Flat HP is a dead stat

The Countdown Begins:
I have almost 300 pulls in the bank for E1 + LC, I pray for the days SW999 leaves me alone.

If you think I have gotten anything wrong in the build let me know, maybe I've missed something obvious!~ It wouldn't be the first time

Hi Mouse Reviewers, Not sure what subreddit is best to ask this but I figure you all here may be able to recommend something

Situation is: I have an elderly grandparent who operates a computer pretty well considering she’s close to 90 years old, but as she’s gotten older her motor functions have gotten incredibly poor.

She cannot move her fingers individually due to severe arthritis, this results in her having to claw grip the mouse and when clicking she can only move all three main fingers moving in unison. This causes her to left click, scroll wheel click and right click at the same time and which frustrates her and then she gets lost while using Facebook etc

I have tried to teach her to use a large touch screen tablet but she can’t grasp it and wants to keep using the computer which she knows how to use

This leads me to try and find something like a left click mouse only mouse but I can’t find anything of the sort. Is anyone aware of something like this exisiting or can recommend any sort of solution?

Hi All,

I (MtF) am just looking for feedback on if anyone has experience using Zoladex as an anti-androgen, It's fully funded in my country so I can get it for free.

Context: The reason for the enquiry is I am currently on 6ml Progynova (oral) + 200mg Spiro, everything was going great for a year and half, levels were in range and then my latest blood test had both my testosterone levels rising and my estrogen levels falling and it's prompted me to start looking at how to correct this as I feel like my current regimen is no longer effective

The only thing that's changed is the introduction of 200mg Progesterone (over the past 6 months) which has seen some wild results in breast growth but I wonder if its affected my levels in the long run however this should be lowering my testosterone if anything right?
Maybe it's as simple as stopping Progesterone and seeing what happens?

In the space of 6 months we are talking about a difference of going from:
E: 506 pmol/L
T: 1.9 nmol/L

to

E: 255 pmol/L
T: 4.4 nmol/L

If stopping prog doesn't help I am considering Zoladex and obliterating T production but want to know if anyone out there has experience with it
