Should I Tell My Friend That His Girlfriend Is Trans?
Thanks for the feedback on my post. After considering everything, I’ve decided that I should tell John about Lek. I feel like real friends step up in challenging times, and I owe it to him as a friend to tell him what I know. It hasn’t been an easy choice, but I believe he deserves to know before things get even deeper for him. Now that I’ve made the decision, I’m struggling with how to approach it. I’d appreciate any advice on the best way to go about this. Here are some approaches I’m considering: Direct Approach: Sit down with him one-on-one and tell him directly what I suspect. I’d make it clear I’m only bringing this up because he’s talked about having children, which makes me think he’s unaware. It’s straightforward, but I worry it could come across as blunt or even feel like an ambush. Indirect Approach: Instead of stating that I think Lek is trans, I could ask if he and Lek have discussed topics like family planning and her past. This could lead him to consider the possibility without me explicitly saying it. But this approach might end up being confusing or causing more misunderstanding. Suggest He Talk to Lek: I could encourage John to have a deep, open conversation with Lek about their future, making sure he’s aware of everything important. This way, the truth would ideally come from her, which feels less invasive. However, it’s risky if he doesn’t pick up on the hint. Casually Drop a Hint: Another approach would be to casually mention how common it is to meet trans women in Bangkok or talk about how accepting Thailand is of trans people. It might spark a conversation without me being too direct. But this could go sideways if he doesn’t connect the dots or if he feels I’m trying to plant ideas. Point Out the Children Issue: I could bring up the idea of adoption or other options if he and Lek do want kids, mentioning that pregnancy might be a challenge. This might prompt him to reconsider Lek’s ability to conceive, but it feels a bit bold and could come off as too intrusive. Any ideas on what approach might be best? Thanks again for the support—this is really weighing on me a lot, and I appreciate any useful feedback. -

Whole-house Power-Backup?: Reliable solution for frequent power failures.4K to 6K watts req
You need an industrial UPS and to have the areas of your house wired for it. We have only bothered to put our security system and network on the UPS the batteries are external to the UPS and if we want a longer run time we can just add more batteries. The company is CyberPower the have a 2 year on site warranty (it does work I have used it) this is one of their units, we have 2 x 12v 50 Ah deep cycle batteries. If you need more power either add another unit or buy a bigger one. This is NOT cheap, it is effective. we have a smaller one, the one above is 36,800 + shipping batteries not included, expect to pay at least another 12,000 and up for them (4 x 12v 50Ah) possibly more -

Eight Stand Trial in France Over Beheading of Teacher Samuel Paty
It is quite relevant to show these caricatures to illustrate freedom of expression, in particular in respect to the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo. He actually proposed that Muslim students could look elsewhere or shortly go out of the class if they felt offended. It is absolutely legal in France to criticize or mock religion and the main target has always been the Catholic Church (for centuries). Of course, false rumours have been diffused on social media, in particular that he would have showed a picture of a naked man and said he was the prophet. -

Poll -- Will president elect Trump last through his term?
Hmm... well, "President Vance" sounds pretty good too. I'd prefer that if this happens, it wasn't in fulfillment of the left's irrational and violent anti-Trump fantasies though. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
At this stage with no hope of victory a messy peace is preferable to a continuing dirty war with a disproportinate loss of life on the Ukrainian side. Let's hope that Trump follows through and gets that deal across the line and soon. Europe is very nearly bust and with the engine of Germany stalling there's no money left to make up a US shortfall should it happen nor the weapons or manpower either. This is the only glimmer of hope in a Trump victory - the rest is a disaster for the world. -

Should I Tell My Friend That His Girlfriend Is Trans?
I'd say unless you know for sure then sounds like speculation and speaking up you will potentially create problems. How in the world would you know to begin with, just a guess? If you ask her she would tell you but I suspect you are just guessing and should butt out
