{"_id": 0, "text": "Collabs don't take anything away from the storyline, and they shouldn't be treated as the reason for \"no content\" I see people complaining about collabs a lot on this sub, and I really don't get the hate towards them. People complain that the collabs have no effect on the story, but last season should have proved otherwise, Galactus came for the zero point and left it exposed, leading to the story for this season, in which John Jones is gathering hunters from various realities, therefore every collab this season is an additional part of the story. As someone who has been playing since chapter 1 season 2, the story honestly seems to be going at a rather similar pace, last chapter, the story didn't really kick off until season 4, this chapter, season 4 set up the current story for the most part. We're even supposed to be getting a batman comic that exposes some secrets of the island. Obviously I don't think there should be another all collab battle pass any time soon, but having a couple collab skins each pass isn't a big deal, if the majority of the pass is original content, then there's no problem with having a small portion of it be for crossover cosmetics. People assumed that because we heard the seven mentioned in the story trailer this season, that another member would be the secret skin, but Epic never confirmed anything, for all we know, that could be slowly setting up the return of the seven. Plus, there have been original skins introduced while still having these collabs. I don't see why things like collabs are seen as unoriginal, while things like a gender bent version of an existing skin is being hyped as if it's gonna somehow put the story into motion."}

{"_id": 0, "text": "Fornite Is No Longer A Casual Game I honestly believe Fornite is no longer a casual game or at the very least is getting very close to no longer being a casual game. This season has some interesting new items and tweaks but all of that doesn't solve for the fact that the matchmaking is ridiculous and takes out all the possible fun of the game. Forced crossplay was one of the worst additions this game has had. If you and I are of the same skill but I'm on console mobile switch and you are on semi decent PC then regardless of what I do I will lose most if not all the time. Simply because of hardware. I understand that streamers (who are 99 on PC) help promote your game (you essentially pay them via creator codes) but the player base that actually makes you most of your money is stuck fighting them every game. Do weekly updates, videos, and patch notes, something that doesn't leave all the promoting power to them. Streamers will NEVER promote removing forced crossplay because they benefit by having easier matches against players on worse hardware. Sbmm is broken in every aspect. It almost never works. I don't want to win every game but I want to feel like I could have won or I could have beat my opponent. Not to have my match end in a split second or not have even stood a chance regardless of what I could have done. I don't consider myself a horrible player but 95 of the players I fight are superior players in every part of the game. They have better aim, building, editing, game sense, and edit speed, etc. EVERY time I get to top 10 the game is a scrim. Multiple players once zones start to move. I don't want to play creative an hour every day before I can play a public solo match, I don't want to buy build a gaming PC or some special and expensive controller. I just want to hop on and play. Fornite needs to understand that average placement does not matter AT ALL (I can camp all game or easily not run into anyone if I go to less populated POI), and that win rate and KD are flawed indicators of skill. At this point editing and edit speed is the best indicator of who wins most close ranged encounters. Obviously, the aim is important but hey I missed a shot I'll just close the box, edit it again, shoot you and close the edit again all in the blink of an eye. Fornite seems to have zero importance on editing. I love the artstyle of the game, the different collabs, story, etc but all of that gets overshadowed by the completely flawed matchmaking. I understand the game has been out for a while and people get better but a game that is no longer casual and requires you to practice and have special hardware just to compete is not healthy for the game. Every season we are getting closer to just having pros trying to be pro players and bots being the only players in lobbies."}

{"_id": 0, "text": "My ideas on a new collab with Hasbro As we know the new battle pass theme is Primal and there are new animals being added to the game with raptors coming in the future. I feel like this season would be an amazing time for Hasbro to add a Transformers Beast Wars collab. It is a show from the 90's and basically the maximals and predacons are the descendants of the autobots and decepticons. In the show, a team of maximals led by Optimus Primal crashes on ancient Earth along with a team of predacons led by Megatron (who is not the original Megatron from the G1 show). Both sides are forced to scan beast modes in order to protect their bodies from the intense amount of raw energon on the planet. Optimus Primal becomes a gorilla and Megatron becomes a T Rex, additionally there is a character named Dinobot who was a Predacon but joins the Maximals in their quest to defeat Megatron (and he transforms into a raptor). The sizes of the skins would not be too hard to create due to how in the show they were relatively the same size as humans in the G1 Transformers show. They could add simple transformation built in emotes to change from the beast mode to the robot mode and for some it could be traversal while for others it would act like an edit style. Also, Hasbro has been bringing relevance back to Beast Wars as they have their kingdom line of transformers toys which includes the Beast Wars era characters. They are also going to release the Transformers Kingdom show on Netflix this year and it will heavily include the Beast Wars era. One of the next live action Transformers movies is supposedly called Transformers Beast Alliance and it also focuses on the Beast Wars characters from the leaks we have. Overall this seems to be the perfect opportunity to add Transformers Beast Wars skins into the game and it really seems likely due to Hasbros new 5 year agreement with Epic."}

{"_id": 0, "text": "Battle Stars and the Illusion of Choice On paper I like what this Battle Pass is trying to do, but the more I really step back and look at everything in a bigger picture the more I realize how almost sinister this all is. The elevator pitch for this new system is being able to pick and choose what rewards we want out of the Battle Pass to make our experience truly our own, but there's a lot of caveats to it they don't really talk about. If you want to get the items that actually matter (the skins) you need to unlock everything on that specific page regardless of whether you want them or not. Want to just hoard your Battle Stars for something you want? Too bad, you have to spend those stars to earn the ability to even unlock the other things, or level yourself up, which takes longer than just spending your stars. So to get what you want out of this new Battle Pass, you STILL need to unlock things in something of a sequence to get to that point. You need to complete a page to get the skin, and you need to complete several pages to get the option to buy the rest of them. Oh and of COURSE they put Rick at the absolute last page, where you either need to be level 90 or have to have purchased literally everything else to unlock his page and even then you'd be Level 89 by the time you reach Rick. The only choice you really have is whether you want the bonus V bucks now or later. So what's the purpose of all of this? Why is everything so roundabout if it's more or less the same thing? Here's your answer To make you want to spend your V bucks to buy levels. In the old system let's say the skin you want is on level 30 and you're on level 15, your only choice is to grind it out or buy levels. But you're always getting something every level, it's slow but steady progress. In the new system let's say the skin you want is on level 30 and you're on level 15, the option to start spending on that page is already available to you if only you had those Battle Stars! Instead of items, you get Battle Stars every level. That feeling of reward isn't the same as it was before, as to get your level up items you have to go into a storefront to pick it out... but the actual thing you want is just sitting there teasing you. You're so close , yet you're so far . What's the harm in cashing in one virtual currency for another? It's what I call the \"Shopping Spree\" approach, if you bought those initial first 25 levels it gave you a decent chunk of stars and you cashed them in snapping up everything you wanted until you ran out, time to go back to the game and grind.... oooor continue your splurging by giving us more V bucks. It's all the psychological manipulation of loot boxes without the gambling, the \" just one more \" mentality. It's so sneaky I'm surprised EA games didn't think of this first. The final kicker of all of this is how much extra content is locked behind the post 100 threshold, and how if you truly want EVERYTHING you HAVE to get to Level 200. That's an insurmountable wall to most people unless you fork over the V bucks to give you a head start. It's the Golden Skins to an even worse degree. I wouldn't be surprised if the controversial changes to Team Rumble were part of this too Making it impossible to finish quests in TR so you're forced to do them in other modes where it's easy to get killed or having to constantly reload to get objectives that are clear across the map and frustrate you into just wanting to spend the money to be done with it The fact that I'm seeing far more Rick skins than I should in matches right now is proof that it's working too. TL DR The new Battle Pass system is made to appear less grindy, but is designed to make you want to spend V bucks more than ever"}

Motherboard is ASROCK Z370M ITX AC and here's a picture of what it looks like bent with the standoff."}

A while ago my pc bluescreened and said it was a memory problem, I did a memory diagnostic tool scan on my two sticks and it said it failed. I assumed it was just one of the sticks since I could run my pc just fine but if I had, for example, too many tabs open while playing a game it would crash, usually while loading into the game world. Recently, (as in a couple of weeks ago) I did an extended test on both the sticks (I meant to do one at a time but forgot) and it still came up as failed. So today I tested each stick by itself with a normal scan and they both passed (as in no errors). So now I don't know what this means does it mean that there are actually no errors with my ram and I just needed to take them out and put them back in, does it mean that there is actually a stick that has failed but the normal scan wasn't enough to detect it and I need to do another extended scan on both sticks, or could it be that the dimm slot has failed and the second slot is slightly broken? but, idk... I do have replacement sticks waiting to replace these but I was hoping to resolve which stick has failed before I put the new ram in and package up the old ram since I was planning on trying to claim the warranty on it because I wanted to keep it around to use in the future for a different build or upgrading one I have just sitting around rn. amp x200B btw if this is important at all, I have x2 g.skill aegis 8gb, asrock ab350m pro4 (micro atx am4), and a ryzen 5 1600 Thanks! amp x200B amp x200B Edit Thanks for the help!

I think the issue might be that my pc doesn't have the drivers to use the hdmi cord connecting it to my monitor, and my graphics card doesn't have an hdmi slot so I'll have to buy a displayport cord to try that next.

I know some people have said they've never seen a 2GB 1050ti) I recently upgraded my entire set up to a desk top with a an Asus ROG Swift PG279Q monitor running at 2560x1440 at 144hz. The graphics card is an RX570 with 4GB of VRAM. And yes. Its connected to the graphics card via display port.

Like I used to get 200 frames consistently with occasional drops to 150ish and now I'm hovering around 100 with rather routine drops to 60 or 70. My logic for asking is, well, I don't know. I guess I'm just thinking because the image is refreshing more often that its more straining on the card? I know the resolution is MUCH higher but part of me is thinking how could it cause a 100fps impact? But hey, what do I know? Thats why im asking. I know its a super stupid question.

I tested the GPU on another motherboard and with different displays and cables, still nothing. I have come to terms it is no longer functional. My few questions are Can I get it repaired? (I don't SEE any damage) Can I contact Phanteks regarding the damage to GPU? Can I contact ASRock and maybe they can help me repair or replace the piece? All pieces were bought from NewEgg.

But it's bad across all undergrad transcripts c3.2, s2.9, but graduate 3.75 (MSc in NZ converted from 9.0 scale using WES). I know graduate level stuff is calculated weighted separately, and somewhat unprioritized. I did all my required coursework in my undergrad days in the US. However, I'm looking to do a \"diy post bacc\" purely to show an upward trend improve my \"absolute cumulative undergrad level GPA\". Said extreme circumstances have been mainly sorted and I have every confidence in my ability to get high stats in my courses now and when I take the mcat. However, I'm still in NZ. And thanks to covid, I will be for some time. I'm doing other things (clinical, volunteering, virtual shadowing, etc.), but I have ample time to knock out some undergrad courses also. My question is, will doing my diy post bacc (upper level BPC classes) in NZ instead of the US be a problem look weird or bad? NZ education is rated similarly to the US, but it's still 'not the US what admissions knows well'. I don't want to wait an extra few years to apply by doing the post bacc work once I return home, but I also dont want to put myself in a worse situation GPA wise by assuming schools will accept acknowledge international transcripts (especially schools that do not accept international students they might not even have a process for scale conversions). Again, I completed all the required recommended courses in the US. This is purely additional work to show competence in undergrad science courses. Any advice? Edit a suggestion I have heard elsewhere is to take any courses without a lab component at a US university online.

However, I also hear that non Texas med schools, whether public or private, don't hold much interest in Texas applicants that aren't cream of the cream of the crop. Looking into the MSAR, the few \"OOS friendly\" schools I was looking into did not have any matriculants from Texas which suggests a yield protection against interviewing admitting TX residents that likely have more competitive tuition rates in their state. That said, is this a near universal case? And if so, is there any utility in applying OOS AMCAS in addition to the TMDSAS schools as a Texas resident? My guess is that 95 of the run a TX app has comes from in state and that OOS is low yield for the effort that can be placed back into TX school essays, etc. Not sure if this thinking is completely incorrect, or that the value is 85 , 75 , or some other value for an average traditional applicant. Are there any OOS schools that are worth applying to as a TX resident with a 3.70cGPA 3.60sGPA, 516 and average ECs clinical experience? ORM and Traditional as well.

{"_id": 2, "text": "Pretty specific non trad questions I'm a non trad, took a pretty circuitous route as an undergrad (more on that later) and I had some pretty specific questions. My my first question is about old activities. I graduated high school in 2008, and for three summers when I was in high school I would go with a group from my church that consisted of doctors and dentists and we would run super remote medical clinics in Central America. Based on what I did it would \"check the box\" for leadership, clinical volunteering, and cross cultural experience. Which is nice, but I have those experiences in other areas so this experience isn't necessary. I feel like I need to include it because it was one of my most formative experiences of my life and was the seed for me wanting to get into medicine. The problem is it's obviously old experience, almost 15 years at this point. Also, I've had a falling out with almost everyone who was a mentor to me during this time. This falling out is the biggest reason I'm a non trad and taken such a long time to get into medicine. Several of my biggest influences at this time were guiding me away from medicine and to go to seminary. Literally, \"you wouldn't be a doctor if you actually wanted to help people\" or \"you can't make an impact at a 'secular' university\" type bullshit. I was 17 so I was old enough to make a decision, but looking back I can see how I was manipulated into following the same path these guys were on by going to a small rural Bible college, then to seminary. These guys (one a youth pastor, the other a teacher of mine, they knew each other) pushed me to go to this super small school despite the fact that it was financially failing and had super corrupt leadership. Looking back I obviously feel betrayed by people I should have been able to trust I wasn't given the full picture about how the school was doing or how I would in no way be able to use their degree to pursue what I wanted with my life. I felt tricked into doing the thing that would help their school (which was desperate for students. So I guess my questions are... 1) Do I include a very impactful experience even if it's old and I don't talk with the people who were a part of it? 2) How would I talk about this part of my academic journey? I made the decisions myself, so I don't want to portray myself as a victim. But I can see how I was manipulated and somewhat deceived as a teen."}

One weird dilemma I've had is that I did my pre reqs as a post bach, and as such, I've only taken 2 non science courses in the past 10 years. I am trying to figure out how to address schools that require a LOR from a non science professor. The 2 non science courses I've taken recently are 2 psych classes, and they were both large lecture halls with 200 400 students and I took them 2 3 years ago. Also, one of them was taught by a grad student and the other (intro to psych) I never really made a relationship with the professor (there were 400 students cramming a giant hall) and so I'm not even really sure if he'd know who I am. I did get a resounding A in both courses, if that means much. With COVID, I am going to have to ask for my LOR's over email. Given my situation, I am wondering if I should email medical schools I am interested in that require non science LOR's and see if they'd take an alternative letter? Or should I just ask these two profs despite the less than ideal relationship? Any advice is welcome! Thanks in advance!"}

I don't think studying during classes would be an issue for me as I am pretty good at time management. Unfortunately, my pre med advisor is strongly recommending I wait to apply and take a gap year. According to her, 99 of \"pre meds\" at my institution take a gap year before applying. This seems a little unusual to me as I know not taking a gap year is fairly common. I'm currently sitting at a science GPA of 3.95 and feel that I am ready to apply this next school year. My EC's are somewhat lacking however, that was a result of COVID 19. Any advice?

{"_id": 3, "text": "If you worry about the memes and hype... The thing that a lot of people don't understand, is memes are some of the most powerful tools in the online world. A meme is a symbol used to represent a certain idea or concept. A person is able to throw together a meme in a few minutes and spread that idea to everyone around the world in just as much time. The analog versions of this would be things like propaganda posters or religious symbols. All these things contain concepts that have influence on our society on the whole. Memes create hype in certain things... like dogecoin. In this case, the memes drove the hype that drove up the price. That, in turn, inspired others to invest which also increased the hype. Over and over. But at this point, more and more businesses are accepting doge which is just helping to solidify its existence. One symbol fed the belief of the masses and came into existence. Don't forget, symbols have a lot of power and influence just because we believe in them. Have you had a bigmac at the golden arches lately? McDonald's survived because of the image they created with commercials (TV memes), not because they have good food. I say bring on the memes! Bring on the hype! Bring out your dead! See? One sentence and most of you are immediately teleported to the land of Monty Python. Trust the hype and keep feeding it. Spread the good word to Do Only Good Everyday and Hold On for Dear Life.

Please be aware that if the price does start to climb abruptly after Mark Cuban talks about Doge, DO NOT FOMO when it does. The time to get in would be now! The reason I say this, some people or groups could be planning a pump and dump and for us HODLERS and shibes who are not looking to make a quick buck, this could get you sucked in and lead to disappointment. If the price should start to climb abruptly, it will reach a peak and just as with most crypto, it will fall and settle back to a lower, but higher floor than before. For the new people that bought in during the rise, if it does rise fast, they may feal regret and start selling as well. So if you want to buy, and if you can, do so before the start of the climb, if it does climb. Stay safe my fellow shibes, and remember Do Only Good Everyday!"}

I then went onto this subreddit where I have read a bunch of posts so far about dogecoin and it seems promising from what I have seen but I also have a healthy dose of skepticism regarding the viability of dogecoin for me as a beginner. I was thinking of buying a small amount of dogecoin each month to test it out to see if it's viable but so I can still afford to pay my rent and groceries. If I do find an investment strategy later on that works and I keep my interest in dogecoin and cryptocurrencies I have life goals I want to achieve years later when I have more initial money from a job to invest in cryptocurrency like building a large paludarium or owning a large expensive parrot like a macaw aka flying forever toddlers that will live for decades.

I'm in the military so something that can handle a bit of sand and dust and being tossed around (not literally) would be great.

That's about it from what I can think of. I know there are only so many options at that price point and I keep seeing the same 5 or so being reccomended but I just don't know.

I am a college student, and since my desktop PC is very very outdated, slow, and obviously lacks portability, I have decided that I would like to buy a gaming laptop since I plan on transferring to University in the near future. However, because my current computer is not able to meet all of my needs for school anymore, I need to get a new laptop soon. I originally wanted to get an ASUS Dash TUF F15, but after seeing several reports showing off it's relatively poor performance due to bottlenecking, I decided to look at other options. I have decided that I do not want to spend a whole lot more than 2000. At the moment, I am looking at a Lenovo Legion 7i, because my mother's employer provides her with deals that will allow us to get the 2080 Super 32gb RAM version for 1950 or the 2070 Super 16gb RAM version for 1630 (these are before tax, and it's all coming out of my pocket so the price matters a lot to me). However, I don't completely understand this market. I see a lot of the new 3070 laptops going for anywhere between 1650 and 2600, and I don't really know if these are good prices for the Legion 7i considering I'll be getting a 20 Series GPU. I want to get the most for my money, but I don't have the time or the money to waste on this decision. So I ask this, based on what I said about my situation and the Legion 7i, would that be a good choice or are there better options out there? I am also unsure of how much of a difference there is between the 2070 Super and the 2080 Super, and I am wondering how they compare with the 3060s and 3070s in these new laptops.

{"_id": 4, "text": "Trying to strike a balance between plugged in gaming and battery life for casual use... Recently purchased an ASUS Zephyrus M15 i7 with a 2070 max q. I'm trying to find the best balance of performance, heat, and fan noise, but I'm having a little trouble getting exactly what I want. But maybe I'm being a little picky... Out of the box it was running a little hot, so I undervolted ( 75), limited power and turbo boost via QuickCPU, tweaked the GPU in Afterburner, and set up a manual fan curve in Armory Crate. Nearly identical to what Tech with Sean did in his youtube video for this laptop. These settings worked great, low to mid 70s during gaming with good performance. The issue is when I want to unplug for some more casual web browsing or work on the battery. With QuickCPU and Afterburner installed I get abysmal battery life, even when switching over to the less intensive Windows or Silent modes in Amory Crate, I'm getting 90 minutes or so from 80 battery. If I uninstall QuickCPU and Afterburner, it goes back to 6 8 hours of battery with light use on Windows mode. Ideally, I would love to have those programs running their setting when I'm plugged in on Manual or Performance mode, and then when I unplug and it drops down to Windows mode, I can get something close to normal battery life. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be possible with QuickCPU and Afterburner installed. The best I could come up with to this point was to uninstall those programs and disable the processor's boost mode in advanced power settings. Now my thermals are even lower, obviously, but I'm capped at 2.6GHz...

My girl wasn t even able to handle me walking out the door for 2 minutes a month ago without barking and yelling as loud as possible. Finally, we were able to start at a few seconds and eventually get to 30 min of me sitting in the hallways of our apartment complex without a peep. This week I decided I was sick of waiting on my roommates work schedule to decide if I could leave the pup to go to the gym or run errands. Yesterday I left. She whined on and off for about 30 min and then completely knocked out for an hour. A whole 90 min alone!!! (I have a ring camera because I needed the peace of mind lol) Today I did the same. Left at the same time, took her exactly 30 min again to completely settle (although she was louder this morning) and then knocked out for an hour. She woke up after an hour but I wanted to see how she settles again so I went to a friends to wait it out. After about another 30 min of on and off whining and howling she fell asleep again. She was pretty much chill for the rest of the time. Today I was gone for a total of 4.5 hours. I m a server so this is about a normal shift if I m not a double. I m so happy and so relieved!!"}

{"_id": 5, "text": "9 month Puppy won t eat kibble! Hi everyone! I m completely confused and frustrated on what to do with my dog eating her food. I have tried just about everything to entice her to eat the kibble, but she will not eat it. The only thing she will eat is human food! I ve tried every method like leaving it out for 15 mins during her eating time and if she hasn t touched it, I put it back in the bag and try again later. Still, no eating the kibble. I m also frustrated because my dad and brother keeps feeding her human food, even when my mom, sister and I tell them no! I can tell that she s hungry, but she still doesn t eat her dog food no matter how hard I try. Ughhh ( P.S!! I have also tried adding a little bit of chicken in her kibble.. but she only picks the chicken out. If I add water to her kibble, she ignores it and then I have to throw the food out because it s soggy! I ve tried switching dog foods too, and she does the same thing. Such a waste of good dog food! There are strays who would love to eat her food, and here she is being picky (!"}

My berner is almost 8 months old and her obsession with my slippers has gotten really bad, she bites at them while I'm walking, chews them when I'm sitting and goes for my feet if I'm not wearing them. I've tried redirecting her, but she bites at the toy for a couple of seconds then goes back to my slippers. Her teeth are getting so big that even though her bite inhibition is really good, it still hurts, and the normal yelping when I feel teeth doesn't seem to work when my feet are involved. She's very good with leave it and give normally, but goes deaf as soon as she gets a sniff of slipper. I want to train this out of her positively, however, the moment she sees treats, she's perfect, won't even look at my slippers. I can literally put them in her mouth and she'll spit them out without taking her eyes off me. She's so perfect with the treats and so awful without them, how do I train her to leave my slippers alone without her going into perfect pup training mode?"}
{"_id": 5, "text": "The challenges of an 7 week old. Toilet training We've had our pup for a week or two now. He was sold to us as an 8 week old, but the vet said that he is more like 6. It's our first dog, so we are trying to do things right by him. The kids love him as do we already. But we are running into a few issues we are just out of our depth on. Toilet time We have two puppy pads. One by his food and bed (are we using the word crate for that?) and one in our bedroom by his second bed. Currently, 80 of the time, he will just poop or pee on the floor. Fortunately, we have no carpets in the house, so this helps somewhat. He did seem to use the pads, but that seems to have stopped. I'm desperate to try and sort this, but I fear he is too young to train? Waking up in the morning and dealing with what looks like diarrhea, dribbled about, is wonderful. Also great with bloodshot eyes in the early hours to then find he's walked in it and it's everywhere, including on him. When we take him to our bedroom, we have to \"seal\" him in an area by the side of the bed. This is stop him roaming the room in the dead of night and either chewing eating things he shouldn't or just going where he likes. I'd rather limit the defecation area if I can help it. He of course whimpers, but I don't see another option here. I just don't trust him roaming our bedroom in the dead of night, he'll either make a mess or may get hurt. Any tips on how we can manage this? Or is it a case of, he's too young and we have to put up with this for weeks to come until he just learns on his own? One final thing, food. I'm thinking of switching him to dry food. Its easier to prepare, less messy, less stinky. He's currently on wet food. Is there an issue with just switching? Do we need to \"ween\" him off of the wet food? Or can we just change it immediately? Sorry if these are bone questions, I just don't know."}

It's so easy being positive for everyone else but it's so freaking hard. We literally have blankets on rotation because he does this no matter how long we wait for him sometimes, so that when he pees, we can use the enzymatic cleaner and throw the wet blanket into the wash with white vinegar. He even growled and tried to bite me when I tried to direct him to the pee spot.

Hi all, My second post today, after a while of lurking and reading ) So, we're about 8 weeks out from getting our puppy and I'm in a constant state of back and forth in my own mind are we doing the right thing? Should we back out? And I'd love to know that other people have felt this and I'm not a horrible human being. Just some background, my husband and I are very stable and been together over 9 years. We have no children so we have plenty of time to dedicate to a puppy. We just bought our first home with plenty of garden space. We have good jobs so have the money for the best food, resources and pet insurance. My husband is an early to bed, early to rise person (5am) and I go to bed much later, like 11.30 12pm and up at 7 am and so I think that schedule would work well for potty breaks before bed and on waking. We've always wanted dogs (we did have them growing up as children) so why am I so darn nervous? I think I'm getting really overwhelmed and it may be better when we get him. I've already gotten 3 books and watched 100s of puppy training videos. I overthink EVERYTHING and I think that may be part of the problem. Also, we don't live near family and we like to go on vacation twice a year once for about 7 10 days and once more for a long weekend (3 4 days) and I'm worried about how I will cope leaving our dog behind with a pet sitter and how our dog will do without us.

From the get go he hated sleeping in his crate at night and still has never gone into it willingly. We have tried everything. I have sat right next to him, put a blanket over the crate (leaving the front open), fed him meals in the crate, he s taken naps during the day in it just fine, we have moved him into the bedroom with us and have had to resort to putting him in the farthest room (it s not a big house so it s only a wall away) and letting him cry so we can get some semblance of sleep. We thought it was just normal puppy behavior but shouldn t he start to be settling down after a while? We do let him out at midnight and 2am and he also gets up at 5am to start the day. It has gotten bad enough that he doesn t stop crying for hours and when we do take him out to potty he tries to lay down as soon as he is back inside. He also sleeps like a baby if we let him sleep outside the crate. I know the simple answer would be to just not crate train him but there are no rooms we can puppy proof to let him roam around in unattended so crate training is a necessity.

Currently giving her 2 cups of food a day divided into 4 1 3 cup meals and the rest for training. We have tried Kongs, wobblers, food puzzles, and a bowl. She'll be interested initially but then once she realizes the food won't go away she leaves it for later. I don't want to encourage free feeding and I don't want to take it away early to prevent resource guarding. I tried freezing the Kongs with mixed results. Sometimes she goes for them and sometimes she decides they are too hard and abandons them to thaw. I tried wetting the food and she likes that in a bowl but again will abandon it if it gets too hard in the kong. I'm using the puppy large Kong as she is just under 20 lbs. Food puzzles seem to work but she likes to chew on the pieces over the food and treats inside. I've looked into snuffle mats but my concern is that she'll default to her usual plan for toys and flail it around to get the food. Slow feeders are another idea but if she can tip it over that is what she will do. When we first got her she immediately flipped over the first food bowl we got her. Its not even that she wants the food on the floor. If I put one piece of kibble on the floor she goes nuts for it. If I put a handful she ignores it. Hand feeding works but she'll randomly attack us. it doesn't feel like resource guarding since shes not going for the food but our arms.

{"_id": 5, "text": "16 Week Old Puppy Aggressive Biting Hi all, First post here in this sub, recent first time pup owners, hopefully looking for some helpful advice. We adopted our rescue puppy mid December at about 8 weeks old. Normally, she is very calm, wants to cuddle and gives love throughout the day. Generally she will sleep most of the day, except for when its time to go out and for small bursts of play time (10 15 minutes). It's cold right now, so she gets some outside play time at the dog park in our building, but the majority of this is inside. She doesn't always listen to our commands, especially when we're going up down the elevators which involves seeing new people, other dogs, and new items smells. She knows sit, stay, come, paw, leave it (for not biting picking up items), and partially down. Thing is, she chooses when to listen I'd say 60 of the time. We'll tell her \"Stay\", she will until a treat is rewarded, then quickly goes back to whatever she was doing rather than holding the command position. To get to the main point of this post, lately, in the last few weeks, her biting has become a lot more aggressive. After work is done for the day and both of us are home, she gets extremely hyper and her biting is direct at furniture (which I figured would happen), but primarily it is our hands ankles feet now. Firmly saying no, shaking a penny bottle, or walking away does nothing for either biting scenario. If we tell her \"No\" to biting our furniture, she goes for our limbs. In addition to this, she is constantly doing this \"snapping\" or \"chomping\" gesture when she's in these moods. Is this normal for a puppy going through teething and just being a puppy, who is cooped up all day in a high rise apartment, is this signaling that we're doing something wrong, or is this how a puppy is supposed to be. We have obedient classes scheduled soon, but I'm worried she's already beyond the training point.

Live in high rise apartment complex w dog park. Calm, playful, nice during the day. Aggressive biting, snapping, chomping towards furniture human limbs during the evening. Is this normal, are we doing something wrong, or is this dog just going to be this way forever?"}

It is better but still exists. 3. Will she ever be ok with me leaving the house? She used to cry all the time when I was leaving. I have tried kongs etc, and it really helped.

{"_id": 5, "text": "Frustrated Doubtful with first puppy. Hi, I just adopted a puppy 3 days ago, and I feel like i'm not giving her what she deserves. I have a greyador (greyhound lab mix) and I know those puppies have all the energy in the world. However, I can't take her out on walks until she gets her second round of shots in 3 weeks, and I can't let her off the leash in my backyard because she will eat the grass and throw it up (learned my lesson today). She's about 16 weeks old. She was a stray and we took her in so we don't have any background on her. I wake up everyday at 6am to let her out on a leash to avoid accidents and take her out every 1 2 hours as part of the potty training process. She's had a few accidents but is doing pretty okay as long as i'm consistent taking her out. I try to play with her with her toys (a rope and a rubber bone) but she often doesn't care for the rope and goes straight to nip my hand, or feet, or hoodie clothes. She's drawn blood a couple of times. Squealing like a puppy or saying no or pushing her off doesn't work with her and I have no idea how to get her to understand. I usually walk away when she misbehaves like that, but sometimes I have to do things like wipe her paws or fix her leash or brush her and she won't let me because she wants to nip my hands. I know it's not aggressive and just playful curious puppy behavior, but it's a lot. I try to walk her in my backyard on a leash but she keeps eating grass and we have no idea why. I know she's fed the right amounts (vet recommendation) so I'm clueless. She's learning sit and stay pretty well, and she learned that when I stop walking on the leash and she feels a tug she has to stop and won't move until I move. (Pretty smart girl). I keep her leashed to my backyard door so she's inside and has a small radius to roam around so that she doesn't chew up the couches. I don't know how to transition her into from being leashed in the house all day to roaming free without her destroying the furniture. She already chewed up the bed she was sitting in. She spends most of the time leashed with an area to move around with her toys but I do take her outside every 1 2 hours for 30 minutes or so. I am a college student so I don't have all the time in the world to be constant in and out but I'm trying my best. I'm just worried I'm not giving her the life she deserves, or I'm not doing this puppy thing right. I'm frustrated with the nipping and I feel bad that she isn't able to roam around just yet or that I can't take her out on 2 3 walks a day (I plan to once she has her second shots.) I read that a lot of other people felt frustrated and regretful during the puppy phase which is comforting to know. I have no intention of giving her up and I truly do want to keep her long term but I am so worried i'm not doing this right. I feel guilty seeing her lying down leashed up because I just want to let her out to play, but when I did that today she ate grass until she puked. I try to let her out and play as much as I can but is it enough? Sometimes when we play outside she gets too rowdy and starts nipping me and I get frustrated with her but I can't get her to stop because she just thinks it's always playing. I just feel guilty and bad that I am not able to tire her out and constantly play with her and run around and that she spends most of the day leashed up napping or playing. I don't have any guidance and I don't know if i'm doing this right and just wanted to hear what others have to say. Does the nipping and the pulling on the leash and everything get better?"}

Yes, I've been posting here A LOT, but you guys are so damn helpful! So here is something new. When I go to the bathroom and shut the door, Sadie cries, sometimes barks, and scratches at the door. I know a lot of people will let their dogs in the bathroom with them, but that's not something I want to allow. By the way, she doesn't do this with anyone else, just me. She is also used to the fact that I go to work (don't worry, she's not alone during the day the whole time). Has anyone else had this issue with their puppies? How should I stop this behavior? Is this just something where it will take time for her to stop doing this? Finally, some puppy tax!"}
{"_id": 5, "text": "Is my puppy being aggressive to my cats or just being a puppy? Hi everyone, i recently got a lab puppy who is now 13 weeks old. He is such a good boy, but I have three cats and I don t know if I should be concerned. Two cats aren t adjusting too well, and stay on the other side of the baby gate. Which they stayed at that side of the house before the puppy so maybe I m being hyper vigilant about their behavior. My third cat is the most mellow cat ever. Which is where the concern lies. So my third cats favorite spot is our patio area which is attached to the family room the puppy stays in. The cat goes in and out all day through the family room, and I ve been teaching the puppy to be calm when the cat comes by. Well these past few days my puppy will run up to the cat and I stop it right there to see what he would do. And the cat does NOTHING! The cat will submit himself and lay on the floor, which is what he does when he wants to play anyways. But I m scared since the cat hasn t established boundaries with the puppy it ll get worse as time goes on. I load my puppy up with treats every time a cat comes by and he looks away, but I just don t know if he s trying to play with my chill cat or hurt him. I get frustrated with my chill cat because he doesn t swipe at him like the other two did. This only happens when the puppy is excited, which I take him out to tire him out immediately after. When the puppy is lying down he could care less about the cats. Should I be worried, or should I just keep being consistent on positive reinforcement and give it time? Thank you. Tldr puppy chases my super chill cat when he is hyper and my chill cat just takes it without establishing boundaries like my other two cats have done. I stop my puppy mid chase before seeing what he was trying to do with the chill cat. Puppy just turned 13 weeks old should I be worried or give it more time and more training"}

He is potty trained, does not have biting problem and do well with training. Our (positive) problem is that he likes to be with us at home. We live in a 2 floor house and everytime we go upstairs and he is not settling then he will whine to call for us. We are training for him to be calm, but it has been difficult. He likes our presence more than any treats. He is not crated since last week. He will sleep there most of the time, but will occasionally walk out to check in with us. He no longer accepts being locked in so we decided to keep the door open, after 2 weeks of sleepless nights from the whining. Since then, we need to go back to sleep on the living room couch. His sleeping area is in the hallway, but the floor is open so he can see us sleeping. We tried to go upstair to sleep few times but if he is not deeply asleep and hears the walk he will go to the stairs and call for us. We have been discussing should we allow him to sleep on his bed in our bedroom, or should we try to train him comfortably sleeping alone downstair (dont know how much time it will take though). On the one hand, if he sleeps in our bedroom, we have more chance of having normal activity, without having to stay downstair until he's asleep. On the other hand, we have always considered our bedroom as our private space and having the puppy there makes us feel like we no longer have any privacy anymore . I know this is of a personal preference, but just curious do your puppy sleep in the same room with you and how do you feel about it?"}

When she gets like this she is actually aggressive towards me. She shows her teeth, snaps, and bites which actually brings blood sometimes. If I step on the leash and don't let her move she will just start digging, or will try to bite my shoes. It is very frustrating to say the least and I'm really not sure what to do about it. It has made our morning bathroom routine very unenjoyable when she tries to wrestle with me for 5 10 minutes. She also shows this aggressive behavior sometimes on the couch. She has just recently started to try and dig in the couch and when I go to stop her or pick her up she will do the biting snarling showing teeth thing.

{"_id": 6, "text": "Thoughts on Effective Altruism When Giving to the Poor? One thing we are all called to do is give to the poor if we are able. Obviously, we need to make sure that the needs of our parish are met, and that should be a first priority, but we can also give to other charities. For those of you who don't know, \"effective altruism\" is a strategy heavily promoted by GiveWell which is interested in promoting charities which are evidence based, and have strong utilitarian benefits to the world's poorest. These charities usually do things like deworming programs for kids in very poor countries, malaria prevention programs, and vitamin supplementation. It also usually implies prioritizing the people in very poor developing countries as opposed to those in developed countries. I was wondering if effective altruism, pioneered by sites like GiveWell is a good way to give to the poor? I'll add a couple caveats 1. The Doctrine of Double Effect obviously applies. It is obviously not permitted to give a lot of money to a charity which tries to provide \"benefits\" to the poor by giving them contraceptives. An intrinsically evil means cannot be justified by good ends. I could definitely see this popping up in the future, and it would not be licit to give to. Luckily, currently, most of the \"effective altruism\" means are morally good or neutral actions like providing poor people with malaria bed nets, vitamin supplementation, deworming medicine, antimalarial drugs or just cash. 2. We are not consequentialists, so no one should be compelled to give to these charities. A consequentialist worldview would say that giving to a non \"effective altruist\" charity would be a morally evil action and that we are morally compelled to give to charities like this. The Church has condemned consequentialism, and obviously, anything you give to the poor with good intentions is good, no matter what charity you give to. With that said, should Catholics be interested in effective altruism charities? I am no expert in Philosophy or Moral Theology so PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't we be interested in making sure our donations to the poor have the most impact and help the world's poorest? I would think that it is good and pleasing to God to do a lot of research on the charities you give to in order to make sure your money is effective in helping the world's poorest and most desperate? Is there anything wrong with prioritizing charitable donations to the poor to go towards the poor in foreign countries as opposed to the domestic poor? Edit I did find one contraception charity on GiveWell \"Living Goods.\" It is not a \"top\" charity, but rather a \"standout\" one that they give a very tiny percentage to, but they still give out contraceptives. However, the Top charities (other than the Maximum Impact Fund which gives a small amount to living goods) all seem rather unproblematic Deworming programs, vaccinations, vitamin supplementation, malaria medicine and malaria bed nets all seem morally unproblematic."}

Or if the child asks for an egg, will give a scorpion?

Jesus was most likely referring to ordinary parents because he said \"If you then, who are evil\". Jesus also said, \"Very truly, I tell you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. ...

These are the types of people who receive communion on the tongue, vastly prefer the TLM and often listen to YouTube channels like Taylor Marshall or Church Militant . I consider myself a faithful Catholic, and really do believe everything the Church teaches. For some reason the whole traditionalist movement has never really spoken to me. I think TLM is beautiful but a bit distant and remote. I like the Novus Ordo just fine and think it is often done with a certain amount of beauty and reverence. My church doesn t have happy clapping tambourines or maracas. They do have an organ , a choir and a cantor. Very referent of modern. I think many traditionalist see big problems in the Church and society, want to be part of something distinct and really get into the old time religion as it were. Stylistically things may have changed a bit since Vatican 2, but substantively? Not much. Just yesterday I was engaged in a deeply faithful, hard core Catholic activity.

The changes include eliminating the 10 day waiting period for persons whose death is foreseeable (so basically you can request euthanasia and have it that day or the next day. Another change is that the person requesting euthanasia no longer requires their natural death to be forseeable in order to qualify for it (butbthere is a waiting period). This makes me sad. There is no respect for life in Canada. We are not God and we have no right to decide when to end someone's life. I'm also kind of scared. One reason is that I'm an LPN working in a hospital, and I'm probably gonna see more patients on my unit that want this. For now, nurses are very minimally involved with euthanazing patients (they may choose to be in the room to provide emotional support for the family patient or pass supplies to the doctor doing the procedure). But what if the laws eventually become so lax that nurses will be required to do it? If it leads to that I will absolutely refuse to have anything to do with it, they can suspend me if they want but I'm not purposefully killing a human being.

Now I'm not a catholic, but today Mary pointed me towards confession, and told me to firmly resolve not to commit that sin again, and to strongly desire the sacrament of confession.

{"_id": 6, "text": "A kindly reminder for this lent Greetings to you, siblings in Jesus Christ As the title alludes to, this message concerns mostly those who in this sacred period of the year prepare to live through the passion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Wisdom incarnate but I recommend that anyone interested in reading some advice from a great sinner who returned from his evil ways, thanks be to God's Mercy and Mary, for she led me to Him would be most welcome to this thread. As concise and explicit as possible, I would like to entice readers of this short message to genuinely consider more seriously their spiritual state As creatures of faith, we should consider that charitable works are not only material in their nature, but are most pleasing to the eyes of God in their spiritual one quenching the thirst of the soul for truth, so scarce nowadays due to lockdowns and people's indifference. But, it has been written about this \" So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.\" (2 Tim 4 4). And then, discarding the real essence of our soul's origin, we ask, what myths are we embracing? Oh! The myth of thinking that we, ungrateful and proud generation as we are, could manage to live self sufficiently, without God, and building a civilization based on epicureanism. But do not forget, that we are called for this hour, where no vainglory, no power, no money, and no amount of fame would save us. Yes, you, reading this, you will die. And this lent should be an opportunity for us to endeavor to deserve a good death, under the sweet arms of Jesus and Mary, with whom we would get to spend all eternity. We have a very limited time here, on earth, to be spending it in the vileness of worldly sludge which would lead the soul slithering down towards the ditch of misery where despair leads to dismay, apostasy, pride, idolatry, and evil. So much so that the only cry the damned utter is \"If only I had one hour more...\". But, it has been written about this \"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions.\" (2 Tim 4 3). Why do you take pleasure in this world, when you know that you will have to leave all here and move on to a different place? Why do you listen to these teachers of the times, the great of the world, when you know that their teachings are as good as their gods (power and money) worthless? But, my friends, we should not also be carried away thinking that we, faithful of Christ, have the right to set ourselves as judges between ourselves. True Love should be our main goal, for only then will we cease showing symptoms of selfishness, fears, and anxieties. My friends, let us endeavor to become little Johns, weeping over our Lord's passion and expiation for our sins, for the deicide of this generation, and for our past and continuous offenses that crucified the Lord through our sins. And, truly, sorrow is the deepest form of love. May this lent bring to you many blessings."}

This idea kind of terrifies me as a convert to the faith, and truth be told I didnt start questioning my faith until I encountered this spiritual recommendation in St Louis De Monforts books. If you have any Catholic Prayer books, you can also find prayers which have this same type of recommendation. One prayer from he Laudate App literally has you entrusting your soul to Mary, and having her exercise her power with the Holy Trinity. The Catholic Church states that Mary is a created being. I take comfort in the fact that the Church states she is sinless, but my question is why? Why not just give your soul directly to Jesus. It seems like a downright gamble to do what St. Monfort says. To enter into eternity entrusting your very soul to Mary? Why not directly to Jesus? Monfort stats that she is almost a purification process or sorts, he compares her to the mother in the Bible who prepared her son so that he might get his blind fathers blessing basically mistaking him for another son. He also makes a comparison of viewing it of presenting something to a king that would otherwise be discarded if not for the the manner in which it was prepared for him (ex. using Mary to prepare such an unworthy offering, ourselves). Ever since the day I bastardized an attempt at Marian consecration (literally causing me to leave the Church prematurly after the Mass before I could do it properly with a panic attack).

In the middle of the 20th century, apparently according to my grandparents, my great grandfather had a swollen knee that kept filling up with fluid and it wouldn't go away no matter how many times he popped a needle in it. Being a devout Catholic, and finding no way to relieve himself of his pain through medical means, he had holy oil ordered from an Italian shrine dedicated to Saint Anne, the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the grandmother of Jesus Christ. After rubbing the oil on his knee and doing a novena for ten days, his knee was perfectly fine for the rest of his thirty years of life."}

I was raised protestant but have never been baptized. I know there's a catholic center on campus (it's a pretty big public university), but I'm pretty sure it's been affected by corona and doesn't do as much in person stuff. I get the feeling converting is going to be a long process, so it'd be kind of hard to be involved with a student organization while converting at the same time. I don't really know though. Part of me just wants to wait until I graduate, it feels like it'd be simpler that way. Any advice?"}
{"_id": 6, "text": "Anxiety worries about marriage children These are probably pretty normal worries, especially since I was raised outside of the Church and my parents got divorced. Not sure if this is \"venting\" or if there's an actual point in what I'm asking. In a good relationship now and obviously these are things I'll have to think about if things move even more forward. How would you avoid the worry that you'd just be a barren branch for God? It seems pretty clear to me that there's nothing you can do about the fact that your children might apostatize or you might get an unwanted divorce. With the problem of unwanted divorce, obviously there's ways of making that less likely marrying an upstanding person who you get along with, both being Catholic, etc. But with children apostatizing, that seems pretty outside of your control. It just happens so often, and our culture is so anti Catholic that it's hard to avoid. Seeing as much of the point of getting married and having kids is to have more people for God to love and to worship Him, how would avoid this kind of worry? I guess it would be to trust in God, but if that happened your vocation would have kind of been useless. I guess God can will that since He wants our faithfulness and not always our success, but it's still something I struggle with. It just seems like going down that path has so many potential ways toward ruin. But God's grace is there to help, but what about when it really doesn't work out?"}

She said she felt bad about throwing it away, and wondered if there was something special we needed to do to dispose of it. I said we could ask the sisters who are related to our work and only a block away. She didn't listen (she often doesn't to me). She just kept talking and I got nervous as I usually do around her, and I found my head nodding as a nervous gesture, and she placed it in the garbage. I felt like bad like I was agreeing with it when I nodded when I didn't. Maybe this is not considered wrong in Catholicism, though. I do not know. I know blessed items are supposed to be burned or buried, right? But I don't know about this. My boss is a far left wing feminist, vegan married to a Buddhist. I mention this because she gets upset when something small doesn't line up with her views or her husbands, like the fact that women's bathroom signs have a dress on woman logo (\"it's old fashioned.\") She gets upset when a staff member kills a cockroach (for pest control and to protect our business). She likes to make others known of her views constantly when it has nothing to do with work. She's extremely passive aggressive and bullies people. I've tried talking to her about it before, and she bursts into tears. I believe she has mental health problems (I am serious and not using this as an insult). Even if it's not considered wrong to throw away, the situation bothered me because she expects others to respect her \"faith,\" but she didn't see any reason to respect mine or anyone else's (We are a Catholic institution). If I were in her position of not knowing, I would have sent it to the sisters (which is free and takes 5 minutes to write them a note)."}
{"_id": 6, "text": "What does an \"idol\" mean, in the strictest sense?? I am still confused as to the way the Church defines what an idol is. I know that people would usually just say \"an idol is anything created or manmade that is not God, but is worshipped as God.\" While that's correct, it still seemed too vague or too general to me. My understanding An idol does NOT ALWAYS refer to a created or manmade thing that you treat as being the \"supreme infinite God\". This is because it is evident that the Ancient Greeks never saw any of their idols as being the supreme infinite God (they believed their gods were powerful but finite fallible creatures). Therefore, I believe that an idol is better described as any created thing that we give our highest honors to. And since only God deserves our highest honors, then giving our highest honors to a created thing is nothing less than giving it divine honors. What are your thoughts? (BTW, I'm aware we give our highest honors to God and not not to the saints, since we acknowledge the saints as created beings only. So this is not an argument against veneration of saints, or such.)"}
{"_id": 6, "text": "Ambigious feelings towards being happy I'm Catholic Hey Brothers and Sisters,blessings and love to you all! Apologies for the long read but here we go Lately the following has been nagging my mind as a recent comeback to The Faith We are all hopefully trying our best to live as much as good followers of Christ as we are capable of. This implies to be ethically morally able to distinguish between good and evil in our lives,based on what our Lord has revealed to us and through the truthfull Shepherds of His Message. Now, it would come to me,and I presume all of us at some point,when we encounter grave sin or even true evil, that we are glad not to be part of it or at least trying not to be part of it. Yet at the same time I worry that those feelings and thoughts are seeping over into pride and vanity which obviously would make me immediatly sinning again. So I need to be carefull not to take pride in these things too much but at the same time also to be able to be happy about the Lord guiding me on the right way. It feels like balancing on a very small rope and I wanted just to enquire if this is something some of you have encountered and how've you've handled it? I suppose there are probably some works by saints or church doctors that handled this topic,which I would appreciate if someone would point me to. Thanks !"}
{"_id": 6, "text": "Would you pray a novena with me? EDIT Update! Today is Day 9 of our novena! How has it gone for everyone? The first few days of the novena were horrendous over here. Satan was definitely furious and there was so much tension at home that it was almost too much some days. I wasn't going to give up, though, and at the moment I gave it all over to God, Our Lady and St. Rita in resignation, an amazing thing happened the last couple of days have been peaceful and I had a bit of a miracle. My father, a self proclaimed atheist (unless he's in a great mood), randomly told us yesterday that he has recently been praying three Our Fathers every night in his native language. This was out of nowhere. We had just been talking about newspapers in different languages and he told us that. Thank God, thank God, thank God, and thank our St. Rita! I am so grateful. It wasn't my husband who was touched by the novena (that I know of yet, anyway), but I think my father is a much tougher nut to crack, so this was a huge consolation for my heart. I have prayed for you all, as well, and present you to the Lord. Thank you for lifting us up in prayer. May God reward you all! Hello, all! I will be starting a novena tomorrow to St. Rita for the reversion of my husband and all those who have lost faith hate Our Lord and His Church. I have been praying on and off for my husband for over a decade but have been led lately to really ramp things up. My heart is broken for him and it would be incredible to see his faith return like never before, especially in these dark times. I know many of you are in the same boat and the pain is sometimes almost too much. Would you pray a nine day novena with me? We'd start tomorrow, which is Friday, and end next Sunday. I was going to use this one What do you say? EDIT I think the enemy hates this idea because the moment I returned home from confession, my husband ended up screaming at me for a little mistake.

{"_id": 6, "text": "Coming back to the Church after 4 Years I'm a 32 year old man. So... I stopped going to mass about 4 years ago. I was involved in something that made me unable to go for a time, then ashamed of what I had done and afraid to go. I was afraid that I would be turned away or ostracized because of something I did in the past. I know that's irrational but it's true, and then eventually I just stopped thinking about it. I stopped praying entirely for a couple of years. I have deep issues that I struggle to reconcile, differences between my personal experiences, what I perceive as fact and nature, and the teaching of the Church. This is mostly related to homosexuality. I know that I didn't choose it. I know that I can't change it. I suffered for years with self harm (in some cases encouraged by protestant ministers) and I know that it is impossible for this part of me to be changed. And I know, after years of begging God to change me, His answer is no. I'm trying to work through it. For now I just accept that I don't understand, and that I don't have to understand everything. 6 months ago maybe, my ex's mom gave me a rosary. I had never prayed the Rosary before and I started just keeping it in my pocket whenever I left the house. As a good luck charm I guess. And then about a month or two after that I felt an impulse to pray the Rosary. And I didn't know what I was doing but I found a video and followed along. I felt a strange peace during and after that prayer. It was the same peace and stillness that I felt my very first time going to mass in college, as just an observer. I just felt that everything was ok, despite the things happening in my life. I decided soon after to pray the Rosary every day, and I've only skipped one day in the past 3 months. Well, I didn't pray the Rosary during the Divine Mercy novena, I just prayed the novena. I just ask God to use the prayers of the Rosary to work in me and through me, to increase my faith and to help me be a good influence on those around me. And I've been praying every day with the hope that I would get to the point where I could go to mass. And I did, I went last Sunday for the first time in about 4 years. But I wasn't able to receive communion, of course, because I obviously need confession. But for whatever reason when my parish got a new pastor, or maybe due to covid, they only do confession after mass. It doesn't leave time for the lengthy confession I have to make (pastor does baptism first communion classes between masses) and I don't know whether I would be able to go a full week without mortal sin. I contacted the pastor and asked if we could meet outside of mass so that he can hear my confession and possibly discuss the specific issues I'm struggling with but he hasn't answered in over a week. I'm going to mass again in the morning and I want to go to confession, I'm just very nervous about approaching anyone to ask about it. I was so nervous going into mass last week I thought I'd have a panic attack. Should I just go to confession after mass with the other parishioners and just give a very short, very simple confession like \"I committed the sin of lust, the sin of anger, the sin of jealousy, etc\" without getting into specifics? Or should I wait until I can get an appointment with him and go into as much detail as possible? For reference, I converted when I was 20, only went to confession 7 or 8 times between then and age 28. I never really got used to it, always dreaded going though it was usually very refreshing when I did go. My last confession was about 4 years ago."}

The fall fly backwards part is where you can Wirebug out to cancel the remainder of the animation. Have I understood this incorrectly? What am I missing here? Edit Solved. Thank you all for explaining that there is a smaller knock back animation for falling on your butt and hands, usually from smaller attacks or wind. This is what Dango Feet prevents.

Ammo combine notes Gunpowder base 80, extra 160 possible to be crafted per hunt Crafting extra gunpowder is a pain, so these ammo caps using gunpowder 3 2 moving forward will just assume you're carrying the base 80. Normal 3 99 (base) 320 (crafted) 419 total Pierce Spread Shrapnel 60 320 380 total Note Shrapnel, if it keeps it's properties from internal ammo from MHGU is more of an improved long ranged normal ammo. Very excited to see how this factors in as a regular ammo type because it was typically pretty strong as an internal source. Sticky 3 9 78 87 total Sticky in it's base form feels nerfed compared to its World version, but I haven't seen what sticky 3 can do yet. I found charging sticky rounds also increases stun damage as well as normal damage, so it'll at least have that niche Cluster 3 3 10 13 total Status 2 12 5 17 total Demon armor 5 30 35 total Elemental (normal) 60 120 180 total Elemental (pierce) 60 60 120 total So this is interesting. With a very easily craftable elemental ammo, requiring as little as flow fern fire herb snow herb thunderbugs and the base normal pierce ammo, elemental ammo will be more accessible than ever. Combining this larger accessible pool with HBG's charge attack means you'll have a lot of efficiency and will easily be able to clear most hunts with just elemental ammo alone, something that's rarely been able to be done before. I'm curious to see if a meta evolves around elemental HBG, or if spread 3 will remain king. Bonus note thunderbugs limit to 10 caps thunder ammo to normal 60 60 120 total, pierce 60 30 90 total Dragon piercing ammo 3 10 13 total Slicing 30 30 60 total Wyvern 5 5 10 total Charging mechanic seems to deal between 1.75 2x damage at full charge. Hard to nail down exacts since base damage is so low, but this seemed consistent across all ammo types. But you could shoot out 3 rounds by the time you charge one. So you're looking at a 40 decreased DPS for better ammo economy (you can also guard while charging) before factoring in reloads, which might be a good exchange for limited ammo types (sticky or elemental). Charging allows easier guarding than regular firing and with weird finger positioning, you can use Wirebug abilities on the fly, which is pretty nice for quick input abilities like counter shot. Focus builds could go a long way for elemental or sticky charge builds in the future."}

{"_id": 7, "text": "More potential monsters for Stories 2 I posted a little while back the fact that Riders recently added Dreadking Rathalos and Tetranadon as available monsties. Capcom just released the 2011 Spring roadmap for Riders today, and it includes another batch of monsters that weren't in Stories and will now have Stories style models and animations, which could potentially set them up to appear in Stories 2 either at launch or as post launch update DLC. Later this month, Riders will make Abyssal Lagiacrus available as an enemy only boss. In April, Riders will make Silverwind Nargacuga and Astalos available as monsties and Molten Tigrex available as an enemy only boss. (Noting that Astalos has had a monstie model in Riders since launch it just wasn't obtainable by players.) In May, Riders will make Crystalbeard Uragaan available as a monstie and Lucent Nargacuga available as an enemy only boss. In June, Riders will make Raging Brachydios available as a monstie. Fingers crossed that at least a few of them will make it in at some point (Astalos is probably a given since Glavenus was in Stories and Mizutsune is confirmed for Stories 2 )."}

{"_id": 7, "text": "Can someone explain what that endgame bikini armor is that I keep seeing? Hi y'all, I'm a GU player and have never played Monster Hunter World. I watch Cantaperme and Visualocity regularly, and I notice they constantly use what seems to be endgame armor (given how they're fighting endgame and G rank monsters in their uploads and surviving quite a few hits) that is literally just a bikini, booty shorts, a crop top, etc. In fact, Canta at least seems to have armor like this in both GU and MHW IB. Aside from the fact that it's really hard to watch their gameplay without feeling like I'm finna act up, I'm genuinely curious what those things are. Canta's character in MHW seems to be donning maroon booty shorts and a sleeveless top with a plunging neckline, and Visualocity's character seems to have an actual skirt around the waist. Are they just removing the leg armor (because thicc, obviously) and relying on the raw defense of the remaining armor pieces they still have, or is there actual obtainable endgame armor that's literally just a bikini lingerie set?"}

I think otherwise. Maybe it s a species of monkey like Fanged Beast that evolved in mountain climates alongside birds like the Felicicrow, eventually migrating with them to lower altitudes. Along with that, it has tengu inspirations, sure. I feel like they re mostly skin deep though. Along with that, the color of the Bishaten in the rampage painting is far differently colored than the Bishaten that we hunt. Maybe a Bishaten subspecies or variant is on the line, controlling gusts of wind from its aralia leaf tail or changing the size of parts of its body to do more damage, that d be cool.

Of course, we have plenty of people in this sub (myself included) who have had their lives changed tremendously by this series. Some of us have even staved off depression with hunting. But last night this morning monster hunter rise actually saved my life. I m sure that many of you have at least caught wind of the terrible flooding that ravaged Detroit and surrounding areas recently, and I was caught in the middle of it. I had to work in the morning, so the plan was to go to sleep around midnight and wake up on time. But for some inexplicable reason I had an urge to optimize my spread HBG build, so I stayed up until 2am playing monster hunter. After ending my session, I stood up from my chair and my socks immediately soaked through. I quickly got all of my electronics out of my room and to a higher level, then unplugged everything and let the rest of the people in my house know. Everyone was safe and we saved a good amount, but we still lost a lot to the flooding. If I had not discovered a love for HBG recently and stayed up optimizing my build, I would have woken up floating in water higher than my outlets, and more than likely would have fallen in and died. tl dr spread HBG stopped me from getting electrocuted."}

{"_id": 7, "text": "A Complete Idiot's Guide To Petalaces and Permabuffers! Call it the OCD or whatever, but I feel a little bit crazy running around grabbing the buff birds at the start of every online hunt while the rest of the group makes a b line to the target monster. So I got it in my head to put together this little crash course to hopefully get a few of you to come chasing birds with me! Part 1 Flower Bracelets 101 But Kurao! Why should I care about those dumb flower bracelets? Wouldn't it save more time off the hunt to just rush to the monster and start smacking it? I hear your concerns but let me lay out my case. Taking just a couple minutes before you run to the fight to collect buff birds can give you some fairly sizeable advantages. Here's some numbers on the two petalaces that I consider the best. (I'm only at 4 star hub quests, if there's a third rank of petalaces you get in late high rank then that only solidifies my point.) With a maxed out Hunting Petalace II you get 50 extra health and stamina which is the same amount you get for remembering to eat your dango before going out to a hunt, not to mention the 10 points of attack and 20 points of defense. If you max out your attack with Demon Petalace II equiped you get 15 extra points of attack which is nearly as much as putting 4 points into the attack boost skill. Hopefully I've intrigued at least a few of you by now so here's a couple quickies to round this segment off. The number of birds you need to collect to reach the maximum are almost always the same, 10 for health and stamina or 5 for attack and defense. (The exceptions to this are the defense stat on every petalace but the Demon Petalace, and the HP stat on the Demon Petalace) Keep this in mind if you want to make better routes than the ones I've included towards the bottom of this post. Additionally, you can see how many stat bonuses you've gotten in the start menu. The red circle is how much of a stat you have, the bar to the left of the circle is the maximum value. Part 2 A Handful of Tips Before I give you some sample bird collection routes here's a couple tips to help you max out your stats on the fly. Always take the high road. The largest concentrations of buff birds are almost always in places you need to wirebug up to. Channel your inner Link whenever you can! Those bushes you find scattered around will give you 1 3 random buff birds if you cut down every patch and will sometimes come with a complimentary hunting helper! If you ever see a buff bird hanging off a ledge but you don't want to go down to that level then sprint off the ledge and then press A to hang off of your wirebug, if the buff bird wasn't too far down it should fly right up to you, at which point you can press B and the direction the ledge is to get back on track. Part 3 Starting Routes All of these are fairly quick runs and should get you at least halfway full of bird juice and leave you in a somewhat central area to get you started on a good hunt. I'm not even going to pretend any of these are exactly optimal though. Also please excuse the horrible paint drawings I don't really have a better piece of image editing software. amp x200B I hope this was helpful to at least someone out there. Good hunting everyone!"}

I could see some kind of ashy almudron that lives in the water areas of the volcano map, or an aknosom that lives in the flooded forest, and is black blue instead of white (egrets where I live come in two colors).

The last 3 was Shara, Xeno and Athal. 2 of these beeing really uniqe elder dragons and 1 beeing probably the most uniqe monster we have ever had for a final boss in monster hunter ( a Neopteron who also pilots a giga scrap mech). I hope they go into a more creative direction with the Rise final boss like they did Athal, but I would also be fine with another elder dragon with a really stand out gimmick concept (like Nakarkos). Last time we had a japanese type of setting we got Amatsu as the final boss (which is a fantastic final boss) so I hope it's something similair in terms of scale (but also a very diffrent fight so it dosn't feel like a repeat aswell). Perhaps the new stampede thing ends up playing a role in the fight aswell after we shockingly learn it wasn't Magna who is the reason for that and it actually was a totaly unknown monster you learn about at the 11th hour (cause that would be quite the twist em I right s). Also if the monster is huge like lots of the other final bosses, imagin how wierd and sick it's gonna be if you can use the new riding mechanic. Like if they add something like Amatsu or Shagaru aswell it's gonna be so cool to ride em around with their over the top movesets (well at least the first few times)."}

Originally this happened last night, and I was using an Anker Powerline cable I got from Walmart. I tried multiple bricks an original Samsung fast charger, and a 3rd party charger. I even took the cord and plugged it in to these heavy duty surge protectors I have that have USB ports. Burned with all 3 of these. I tried 3 different cables. The Anker, a Staples NXT cable, and a crappy off brand light up cable my gf uses. The Anker cable burned, the NXT did nothing, but strangely enough the crappy light up cable was the only one that worked, and even fast charged with the original Samsung brick. I tried using isopropyl alcohol and sprayed some in my charge port, scraped it with a toothpick, and blow dried it with a hair dryer on max heat fan. Same results as I described. I woke up this morning, figured I'd try the Anker cable again, and now there's no issue. BUT now I'm in the car typing this message, and a crappy 3rd party cable with a Magnavox Qualcomm Quick Charge certified car charger just caused the port to burn some more and there was visible smoke and noticeable odor when I pulled out the cable.

Since then the phones has gone through random, unpredictable and increasingly common phases where the touchscreen just stops working altogether and sometimes takes upwards of 15 minutes to regain sensitivity. No matter how many times I restart the phone nothing happens and Samsung tech support won't replace the screen unless I show the receipt of purchase (which I don't have given it was a gift). I can't tell if it's a software of hardware issue, it seems to occur when I move the phone from one environment to another (change of temperature, humidity etc. it also started getting quite cold in Sydney) but not all the time, I assume hardware, but it seems so unusual given the phone hasn't gone through any dramatic trauma which would alter it. Ultimately I just do not want to buy a new phone or purchase a screen replacement, so I just ask if anybody has any solutions? I can use it just fine with a mouse, which is what I use as a substitute when the thing drops out, but it's annoying."}

{"_id": 8, "text": "Samsung A70 slowness after recent update? Hello, I have a Samsung A70 phone which was working flawlessly until the update before last. I waited one update in hopes that it's a bug they'll fix, but now I'm betting it's planned obsolescence. Before anyone says it's all in my head I have quantifiable examples. I use MoonReader with epub files and the TTS feature which reads it out to me using google TTS British female voice. I can leave it running in the background while doing other things. Prior to the update this would be seamless and I could go about loading other apps and using other apps without any impact on the TTS. After the update starting other apps takes noticeably longer, longer than 1 second, and it interrupts the TTS while the app is not responding. It's as if they added a system wide halt condition when starting any app for the first time. This wasn't a case of it becoming slower over time, it was literally in the 15 or 30 minutes it took to update. Before the update it was running perfectly, without any sort of slowness that I could notice in the over a year I've been using it, then this happened. I was in the middle of listening to a book when I got the update notification, ran the update, then started the book back up and noticed that the apps were taking a long time to boot and were freezing the TTS while they were booting. At first I thought it was because of the reboot or stuff still happening in the background but days later, and multiple reboots later, it was still happening. The subsequent update seems to have reduced the time it takes to start apps, but the slowness is still there. I am not the only one reporting this problem. Two other friends using Samsung devices have had the same problem, one with an A50 and I forget what the other has. The friend with an A50 upgraded to an A52 (I think) because of this issue, so it seems to have worked in at least one case. Has anyone else noticed this issue, and is there a way to fix it other than stop buying Samsung? Even then there aren't any alternatives since everyone's just as bad or worse in one way or another."}

The way I see it is this investment will be in there until I retire, and dividends give me flexibility to use the income throughout my life until that point, whereas capital gains are locked in until retirement. I have been working with an advisor who has strongly recommended I go with capital gains, even recommending a few specific custom managed hedge funds for me to purchase. So I m a little bit worried there might be a conflict of interest in that he tries to funnel all his clients into his buddies hedge funds and he may not be after my best interest, so I m having difficulty trusting him. He has sworn off ETFs as he says they lag behind the index they track and often end up buying assets at a bad time (buy high, sell low) when they rebalance. Do you think capital gains would actually make me more money or is dividend stocks worth it for the SM?

While my broker is offering 1.59 on a 5 year fixed, Canwise is offering 1.39 plus 2000 cash back. My concern is that there are penalties or something that I m not aware of which will make this a potentially bad or risky deal. Anyone have experience with Canwise in the rest of the mortgage process? From the broker when i asked about penalties If you were to sell your property during the term you would have the below options Payout the existing balance from the sale proceeds and pay the penalty at the time (5 YR Fixed rate would be the greater of 3 Months Interest or Interest Rate Differential) and get a new mortgage with any lender at market rates. Port the existing mortgage over to the new property (purchase would have to be within 90 days of your sale) and if you do not require any more funds you would not incur any penalties, basically continue the mortgage as is. If you require new funds and want to avoid any penalty you would port the mortgage over to the new property and would receive a blended rate between your current rate and rates available at the time of closing and full penalty reimbursement. This all seems fine to me at this point, and similar to what my other broker s penalty structure was. TL DR Does Canwise Financial have a good reputation as a mortgage broker?"}

{"_id": 9, "text": "Is buying a car a bad idea if you live in an urban area and don't really need one? I live in Calgary in a centrally located neighbourhood and can walk pretty much everywhere I need to go. My apartment comes with a parking stall that I rent out for 150 month (or conversely reduce my rent by 150). I ve been wanting to get a car for a while so I can have a greater sense of independence and control. While I can walk everywhere I need to go, there are lots of places I want to go that aren t easy to get to. I can't decide on whim to go to Banff, or drive to the suburbs to get good takeout, or drive to a hilltop park and go for a run. I would prefer to have a car but I don t know if I can justify it. I'd continue to walk most places on a day to day basis so the car would only be for fun stuff or errands that are easier done in the 'burbs. I m looking at models like the Subaru Outback and Volvo XC70. These both seem reliable and have space to lug around friends and things like a paddle board, kayak or skis. The ones I m looking at are in the 13 15K range with 150K mileage. I have about 10K in excess cash that s not really doing anything and could easily liquidate another 5K. I know it s not the wisest financial move, especially in the short term. I ll be reducing my income from the parking stall by 150 and increasing my expenses by 300 for insurance and gas. That drops me from a 40 savings rate to 33 savings rate (not incl. DC pension plan). My alternative is to rent whenever I want a car from one of two places within a 5 minute walk. I get a decent discount through work so it usually works out to 35 day to rent a mid sized sedan. But, when I rent a car for a weekend, I always try and cram as many activities and errands as I can and feel as if I ve wasted money if I don t use the car enough.

{"_id": 9, "text": "My mom got laid off (fired) after taking her first vaccine and had a small fever. What can I do? Good morning, Background, my mom works at a bakery and doesn't speak well in English. Location Toronto, Ontario Last week I booked my mother's first vaccination. I told my mom's manager owner of a bakery saying she will need to leave work for her vaccination. He said ok (via text). After my mom went in the next day but left a little early because she started to feel a small fever. I contacted the manager and he said she should stay home for a week. Monday rolls (today) around and she goes back into work and he told her to not come in anymore. Apparently, from what my mom told me, he said they \"don't want her anymore\". I will be contacting the manager by the end of the day but would like to know what can I do prior to speaking with him. Is this even legal to fire lay someone off because they took a vaccine? Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated! amp x200B Edit Thanks for everyone who has provided support and suggestions on this matter. I've updated the location of this situation. UPDATE (APRIL 19) I have spoken with a Paralegal who deals with employment disputes and has advised me to ask certain questions on my next call. I have not been able to reach the Bakeries manager due to this whole Rogers Fido wireless conundrum. I'll be reaching out to him tomorrow morning and see how we can resolve this. My mom really enjoys working there. She is 57 and making minimum wage, nothing special but she enjoys working to occupy her time and have a stream of income to the family. My mom hopes to have the employment take her back and know it was a big misunderstanding. Or should things go south, we will pursue legal action to obtain common law and EI. I really appreciate everyone's input on this matter. amp x200B April 22 Update Over the past few days, I was trying to get a hold of the manager. There are 3 family owned members running the bakery factory. Today I finally got a hold of the manager as he was trying to clarify the miscommunication between the family member and I was told it wasn't covid related to her dismissal but instead, she was 'unfit' for the job. In my understanding, it felt like, it was their excuse to fire her. Unfonrately all this was done verbally, there was no contract sign at the start of her employment so I was not able to obtain the original contract of her hire which was recommended by a paralegal. During the phone call, it felt they are no longer interested in her as she provides no use to the company. Sure. But there were no warnings made to her nor has she been written up which I told him he should've done. When I learned his true intentions, I asked for her ROE and last cheque so I can fill out her EI and minimize the loss and so she can find a new job elsewhere. I truly feel this place is a piece of dumb and is taking advantage of people who do not speak English well. I do wish I was there to help even more so, but this whole situation is taking a huge toll on me, and do not want to pursue this matter with a lawyer gt court as this will destroy my well being. Even after learning how much she could potentially get back as severance, it's borderline, not worth undergoing with how much effort and stress it might be given the nature of the situation. To everyone who commented on this post and send me DM with advice and personal experience. I thank you for helping me and hopefully shedding a light should your parent or someone you know are going through a similar situation, I really hope not though. Wishing you all the best!"}

Anyone have that experience they can share? Obviously I could sell the car myself on FB marketplace and either donate or invest the proceeds. But if KidneyCars gets us only 500 1000 less in value, then it's worth my time.

{"_id": 9, "text": "Want some clarity about the 90 day \"seasoning\" of downpayment funds. Hi I wanted to know a little more about how the 90 day downpayment \"seasoning\" works in Ontario. My wife and I are closing on a house (hopefully) in 3 months. The seller asked for the longer closing time because the house currently has a tenant and he needed time to give the tenant proper notices. We have a conditional committment letter from a lender, one of the conditions is to provide 90 day history of my downpayment. I wanted to know a little more about how lenders look at \"seasoned\" downpayment funds. I had given my entire downpayment amount as the deposit on the offer of the house. If I count 90 days from the date that I sent the wire transfer the 90th day becomes 1 week before the lender's cut off date to fulfill the conditions of the commitment letter. My first question is do lenders consider downpayment funds to be \"seasoned\" 90 days before the closing day or 90 days before I first made an application with them? 2nd question, if it is the former of the above would that mean that my deposit receipt ( confirmation of deposit from the seller's trust account) would suffice to show 90 day history? Would the lender need to look beyond that? I ask these because I was in a mad rush to compile together my downpayment within a few weeks prior to making an application (in order to lock myself in before the June 1st stress test) so while my sources are legitimate (personal savings, gift from mother, money from my company) all the transfers between accounts would take probably a few dozen pages to explain. Maybe someone can confirm or educate me otherwise but from what I understand so long as the downpayment has a 90 history then it is considered \"seasoned\" and the lender is unlikely to look further? I dont mind if I ultimately have to explain it all to the lender but it would obviously make it far easier and faster to just to just look at my deposit receipt and call it a day. If anybody can enlighten me on this I would appreciate it. Thank you."}

I have been purchasing the TD e series funds through the Easyweb platform for some time. My Mutual Fund account was converted to do this before this was discontinued. I was under the impression that you can no longer convert a Mutual Fund account in Easyweb to purchase e series like how we used to however, existing customers can continue to use this platform to purchase these funds with no issues. I randomly stumbled upon this post, and I'm a bit confused with the responses.

I am not sure if this is true, so please correct me if I'm wrong. Here screen. It's all within Easyweb. It does not redirect to Webbroker. It doesn't mention \"i series\" anywhere. My question is, am I still purchasing the e series funds? Are there any repercussions on continuing to use the Easyweb platform that I'm not aware of?

Question 1 Will my student loan interest from my Alberta loans count as a tax credit towards my provincial taxes in Ontario once I enter repayment? Question 2 if I ever move back to Alberta (unlikely in my circumstances but still interested in the answer), would my unused Alberta tuition tax credits still be available to me? Or are they gone for good because I left the province? Question 3 I have one year of my program left before I graduate. From what I gather, I could apply for Ontario student loans instead of Alberta student loans for my last year because I can qualify as an Ontario resident if my spouse has worked in Ontario for 12 months without being a student (which is true in my case). Is it worth it? It looks like the interest rates are the same (currently) between Ontario and Alberta but it looks like Ontario has more grants available. Does having loans from two different provinces complicate repayment (and is it even possible?)?

{"_id": 11, "text": "The Most Realistic Game I've Ever Played Yes, i know it sound ridiculous to say that No Man's Sky is a realistic game. But i'm not talking about graphics or even survival mechanics. To me, this is a very realistic game because i can relate to it a lot, and it has a lot in commom on how do we live our lives. A vast and never ending universe, where each planet is different from the last. Seems like a game you can never get bored, but that's almost never the case. I love to explore, to build bases, find new tech, fight etc. But sometimes when i play this game i just feel empty, because there's nothing much to do. My ship and base are already fine, i have enought money, i've wandered a lot. It looks like there's nothing to do. But, because it's a never ending universe, you never get the feeling of it being complete. Unlike other games, it just let you stay on your ship and do nothing. Ever other sandboxes like minecraft don't have that feel. There's always new things popping up to do. But here, there aint. And that's why i believe it's so realistic. Real live often does not tell you where to go ou what to do, and it might lead to a useless day, where you just focus on obsessive and dull tasks, or just doom scroll on your phone or just don't do anything, because you cannot remember or thing about something you gotta do. But after those moments, there's usually the best parts in life. When you're fed up of not doing what you want, when you just decide to explore, when you go off tracks. And, as a realistic game, No Man's Sky holds that same feeling. I felt both ways on the expeditions update. Yesterday i was very sad just doing stupid chores, but today i just found new and very fun ways to do them, and i've been having a blast! Having people around also helps, i've turned multiplayer on today and it was amazing!! people talked to me for the first time on this game!"}

{"_id": 11, "text": "Effect of ship hyperdrive base stat on overall range I am a fairly new player of NMS, enjoying my time with it so far. I had a specific question which I haven't really an answer to anywhere, probably best explained via an example... Say I have two S Class Explorers, one with a 60 base hyperdrive bonus, the other with 80 base. I decide to fully kit out both with hyperdrive upgrades, as many as permitted. Let us assume that I have perfect stats on these upgrades so that both ships have exactly the same bonuses from upgrades. My question is this will the difference in hyperdrive range between the two ships be only 20ly, or will it be more than this? In other words, are the ships' base bonuses merely additive, or do they act as multipliers of the upgrades?"}

It wasn't so bad when I started but now the system is littered with tiny crappy bases and comm stations that mark nothing of interest. I'd rather start on a random planet and let the game decide a suitable \"Rendezvous Point\" for others who start in my general area. We don't all need the same one. And as a general gripe 4 Can we please have the option of point and click or tab when choosing dialogue options? Or at least an option of fast read?

{"_id": 11, "text": "It's time we have our own personal stereo I know that HG decided that it made more sense to only play music at certain moments, but when you're 800 hours in, you start to feel that it's often monotonous when you're travelling in space, planetside or inside orbital stations, sometimes hearing the same musical cues on and off. I think it's a good idea to craft a personal stereo which \"captures the tones of the Atlas and renders soundscapes for the Traveller\". Those soundscapes are basically the entire soundtrack of the game where you can scroll through 65Daysofstatic's tracks and play them on demand. It's a nice way to promote their excellent work, frankly I don't hear nowhere near enough of it during gameplay and it's nice to have the ability to make a playlist of my faves and go to work on my next building project or resource gathering. Also, it makes sense to only craft this after the introductory sequences, when scripted music plays so that you're not ruining the intended experience. After that though, the game can suspend all procedural music when you pick your personal stereo from your utility menu until you decide to shut it off. For PC players this obviously opens up a venue for soundtrack modding, it's up to HG if they really want that, but there is enough of 65Daysofstatic in the files to keep fresh for a very long time.

I remain eternally grateful of their hospitality. Due to unforseen circumstances seemingly beyond our universal control, our refit has seen some delays. However, our frigate expeditions continue to bring back valuable resources allowing us to financially compensate for the delays and the fleet morale appears to be high. With all the shore leave I've been authorizing, sometimes I feel like a pushover. But alas, if my explorers are of high spirits, then I declare myself a successful Fleet Admiral! 2 days ago, an unknown frigate of strange design, appeared after answering the call of the prototype myth beacon I was instructed to activate. They do not show their appearance to us but have offered their services toward our cause. This frigate doesn't appear to match the design aesthetic of the Gek, Korvax, or Vy'Keen. And many of my Vy'Keen frigate captains have declared their mistrust of of our new allies.

Then platforms, then ship trails, then this weird laser holographic display. I initiate landing, and explore this... quaint, self contained, fully fleshed out Trading Post, with merchants and lore terminals and Inhabitants to practice language on. That was new. And while it didn t quite spark my drive to keep exploring, it definitely kept me playing. So now, at 29 hours, I finally get around to The Anomaly. You know that mini space station with the single landing platform, two aliens, and two doors that don t go anywhere? Exactly as big inside as it looks on the outside. That thing. ... That... has... CHANGED! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!? Wow. This game has evolved, and has definitely made strides towards its promised potential!"}

I'll copy and paste what he wrote to me and you guys can respond with what you would say to him about the vaccines. He wants to wait and see but that viewpoint seems misguided when we already have tons of info on the vaccines. Here's what my friend wrote, thanks for your help \"If I had to boil things down I would say 1. We don't yet fully understand covid, its origins, or why it mutates so well 2. This lack of information also applies to the vaccine itself, as we still don't have good long term data available yet (for example, the first mixed doses study just started in Canada recently and my dad just joined another aggregate study underway). From where I stand, I think its important to remember that we are still very much in the midst of this pandemic and faced with an incomplete picture of the situation and so the only responsible thing to do is wait.\" I don't see how waiting is responsible when scientists keep saying that getting the vaccine is more urgent than anything else. How would you respond to the quote from my friend? Once again thanks for your help."}

To summarize, my 28 year old, 38 week pregnant sister was hospitalized two weeks ago with double lung COVID pneumonia. After an episode of respiratory distress, she was forced to give birth via emergency c section. A few days later, she continued to decline and was placed on a ventilator. Things were not looking good, and it was the worst eight days of my family s collective lives. As of today at noon, my sister is officially OFF the ventilator and breathing on her own with the help of a mask. This is the purest form of a miracle. We are so elated and so happy. She is still extremely sick, and has a LONG road ahead of her, but I know she will continue to fight and get home to her 17 month old and one week old soon. If you are in the dark days of this virus like we were for the last two weeks, know you are not alone. Know that the data is only numbers, not a death sentence. Believe that your loved one can make it through, because they CAN. The power of thought and the energy of community is what got us through. Please continue sending good thoughts for my sister on her journey towards healing. If anyone has any questions or just needs to talk please reach out. I hope I can bring some calm to someone else who is going through such an awful, terrifying experience. Once my sister is home and well, I plan to post a more in depth timeline of events with details as well as things we wish we knew.

I had a massive run of diahhrea since 11am this morning. Sticky mucus in my throat, went to ER with chills by 7pm and the doctor said I had covid BEFORE my rapid test was back from lab. The doctor claimed that he hasn't seen a single case of cold or flu this year in his ER and all of the people with those symptoms were covid or assumed and then told me, \"Its covid\". I was shocked. He then got into an argument with the nurses (I tried to listen through the door but could only hear the words \"test\" and \"not accurate\",and then they came back in and reswabbed me for the test that takes longer to come back. My partner had a \"flu\" that came back negative for covid with a rapid test two weeks ago and they still gave him monoclonal antibodies because he has lupus. His fever was 102. He feels fine now. My rapid test came back negative and they said I'm presumed positive and sent me home until the other test comes back (2 3 days). They said \"only come back if you can't breathe after taking ten steps\". What is the likelyhood of another false negative with the longer \"more accurate\" test? What if I get deadly symptoms between now and then? I'm at home literally sitting on the couch shaking in fear at this point. I'm biracial, black and white, and I hear POC die quickly from this disease..... I'm scared now."}

{"_id": 12, "text": "I tested positive, but I think my report is a false positive Earlier this week my mother (48) and my sister (14) got a fever, got tested and report said they've contacted the coronavirus. Being in the same household, my father (54) and I (20) got tested too after they tested positive. All this while we kept our distance from them and if at all, my father was the one to go closest to my mother and sister. Today in the morning, our reports came out and I tested positive and my father testes negative. HOW? IS THIS? POSSIBLE? One explanation is, both my parents are medical practitioners, so they got vaccinated with both the doses pretty early. This has made the illness a lot easier for my mother, she barely got a fever after the first couple of days. I'm guessing the vaccine worked even better for my father and any virus he caught was fought off even sooner. But I've showed no symptoms. No fever. No cough. No cold. I understand it can be asymptomatic also, but since I'm the one who kept maximum distance and my father testes negative, I think there's enough of a room to say it's a type 1 error and my report is a false positive. Or my father's report is a false negative. Idk."}

I'm here to tell you my success story, COVID timeline, and what I believe helped to restore my taste and smell. I tested positive on December 27, lost my taste and smell on December 30, and started gradually regaining my senses on January 6! Those seven days felt like an eternity. I could not taste anything at all or smell even a candle right up close to my nose on the first couple of days. I panicked immediately because I am a nervous train wreck. I did some research and started olfactory training, and taking different vitamins by January 2. Vitamins I took Lysine, fish oil, zinc, vitamin c, vitamin b 12. I purchased a 10 essential oil kit on amazon and smelled peppermint, sweet orange, tea tree oil, and eucalyptus. From January 2nd 5th, I started recognizing scents more clearly, if they were held up very close to my nose, but I was not able to taste anything at all. January 6th was when I finally was able to smell a few things around my apartment including butter, dryer sheets, laundry detergent, and soaps, however I was barely able to taste anything. I could only taste a slight hue of the orange flavored gummy bear I ate. January 7 I started to strongly taste the orange flavored gummy. (I ate more and used that as my tasting baseline) My smell started improving gradually, and I could smell things more clearly. January 8 1 Improvement of taste gradually and smell is at about 85 January 12 FINALLY CAN TASTE in detail!! Life is not in black and white anymore. I can taste at 95 and smell at 95 too.

My symptoms have been mild amp hopefully stay mild throughout my time being sick. Initially I thought it was simple allergies cause I also get a runny nose, sneeze attacks, amp lose my sense of smell and or taste but that lasts for 24 48 hours. It's funny, because I took all the precautions. Wore a mask, disinfect, wash hands, I don't eat indoor at diners. Turns out my neighbor upstairs tested positive for covid. The last time I saw her was over a month ago. So, I'm going to assume I got it via the air ducts since the duoplex shares the same system.

{"_id": 12, "text": "Experiences with Pfizer Moderna after recovering from Covid My 2 young adult daughters both got covid this past year. They both recovered well. One had virtually no symptoms and one had mild symptoms. The question now is about vaccines. Some data suggests that people who have recovered may only need one shot but there is no framework to be considered fully vaccinated with just one shot of Pfizer or Moderna. They are wondering if they should just wait for an opportunity to get the J amp J 1 dose since they probably still have natural immunity. The concern is about more severe side effects potentially because of already having covid. Can anyone speak to their experience with this. My oldest daughter (21) will probably put off any vaccine for another month because she was infected only 4 months ago and she doesn't want any vaccine side effects to interfere with her last month of her college semester or finals week. Also, she has a dystautonimic disorder which may or may not complicate things."}

I got a rapid test negative. I got a PCR test negative. My doctor is in shock because he really thinks I have the new variant which he says comes up as false negatives every so often. On day 4 my arms and legs felt incredibly cold. I had a weird almost numb feeling in them. Not exactly pins and needles but it was like when youre laying down on your arm and you start to feel it falling asleep so you change your sleep position. Like that feeling but constantly. Flash forward after another doctors visit. She puts me on prednisone for the numbness. She swears she thinks I have covid and to treat this illness as of it's covid. She says my nervous system is being attacked and that it's a symptom of the new variant. It's now day 11 and after taking the prednisone on day 7 my tongue is now numb and all the numbness has concentrated in just my fingertips and toes. The weird freezing sensation is gone but is replaced by headaches in my temples and the concentrated numbness. I also am having trouble staying asleep.

Later on in the evening, I started experiencing the chills. I took my temperature and it was 101.0 . I took some ibuprofen and went to sleep. Thursday 4 15 Woke up and took my temperature and found it to be at 98.3 . I started to get ready for work about an hour and a half later but realized I was experiencing minor chills. I took my temperature and it was at 99.9 (I documented these temperatures for the doctor). I called in to work and then called my university health and wellness center. I was seen by a doctor over video chat and I received a COVID test an hour later. I felt fine pretty much the rest of the day, but experienced chills at night. Temp readings ranged between 99.6 100.4. Friday 4 16 I woke up to a message with my COVID results, which the results are that I tested positive. My fever stayed relatively low compared to other cases, but I have developed a rather nasty cough (has since gotten better). Throughout the day, my sense of taste and smell slowly diminished. My body tells me I m hungry, but I don t feel like eating as I can t taste anything. Saturday 4 17 Nothing much changed, other than my congestion alleviated itself a bit. Per doctor s orders, I ve taken ibuprofen and Mucinex. Sunday (Today) 4 18 Congestion has remained alleviated for now. I still have the cough, but it s not as persistent as previous days. My temperature this morning was 100.7, however, it dropped to 99.0 and has since steadily remained at 99.6.

{"_id": 13, "text": "Let's talk about Cannons and why they should be buffed Cannons are one of those weapons that don't have a great purpose outside of module sniping. For general PvE use, the go to is always Multi Cannons and I would like to see Cannons get buffed to be a viable option. I would just like to outline some points I would like to make The shot speeds are all over the place. Fixed Cannons of the same size have a different speed than Gimball Turret, then each size has its own shot speed as well. So Cannons come in 8 different shot speeds. I would like to request that the shot speeds be all normalized at 1200 m s , which is the speed of Small Fixed Cannons. This would make it easier to mix different sizes plus it would make using Gimbal an option since the current slower shot speeds just miss. A lot. This alone would make it a more viable weapon since the larger ones have such a slow shot speed that you have to be pretty close to hit anything. If 1200 is too fast, I would still request that the speeds get normalized to some number that is the same for all of them. Being able to shoot Fixed Cannons of different sizes at the same time would be a buff at any rate. Ammo. The ammo on these seem very low. Especially when you compare them to Multi Cannons. You can last whole CZs without ever reloading MCs. But Cannons feel like they only have enough ammo for a handful of kills. One of the reasons I like going with Plasma Accelerators instead, is because of the option to use Plasma Slug to get more ammo. I would like to see the Ammo amount get Doubled , maybe even Tripled. So other mods like Overcharged or Short Range are viable options while still having a decent ammo count. Either that or introduce an ammo module that increases ammo counts of all ammo weapons on your ship. I think these 2 stat changes alone would help bring more variety to PvE since we could start to get away from MCs, even if it's only slightly."}

Right now I am outside the Bubble on an unexplored planet. It seems that non Odyssey stuff like Exploration, landing on planets, Full Spectrum Scanner etc., are not affected or not as much. I haven't seen a super glowing planet that appears as a star as of yet, and on planets outside the Bubble it seems that atmos work fine. Still. I can live without space legs for the things I do mostly on the other hand it's fantastic to spray the \"I was here first\" graffiti on planets when disembarking. I am actually kinda afraid to approach any station right now, because of all those bugs. I don't want a concourse spawn on me when I am approaching a landing pad, getting stuck in it, reaching 0 hull, and explode, with several million Credits of Exploration data in the pocket. Maybe I just cruise around for some weeks in the black before I dock again. Bonus you know there is something wrong when an indie developer re creates Frontier II, names it Pioneer, with atmos on planets and walking on settlements 10 YEARS ago (but, of course, visually it's by far not the same).

Someone pointed out that other solutions automatically detect your bindings, which decreases setup time. I got interested in the idea and made the same solution for WSRMacros. Now for each voice command, a script is started, which reads your bindings file to find the key matching the command. Download Instructions 1. Install WSRM 2. Copy the contents of elite dangerous folder to your Speech Macros folder (in documents after installing WSRM) 3. Turn off signature verification for WSRM or sign the ed auto.wsrmac from the right click menu 4. Done Should look like this amp x200B I also made it a lot more reliable since last time, but I'm sure there are still issues. You can give commands like deploy heatsink half speed toggle landing gears wheels many many more (check ed auto.WSRMac) Understanding the ed auto.WSRMac file Speech commands are defined like this to be flexible amp x200B From this you can see that you could say \"full power to engines\" or \"more power to shields\" or any other combination. It is also simple to add different ways to say commands. For now this system only supports simple actions, like activating one function, but I'm thinking of adding more complex commands, which may include multiple actions after one another."}

Notes Nothing worth adding from our end this week. See you next Tuesday. Items on Sale Here's the web page link for all the items available in the game. It will always be the same link. It's my personal website and I don't run any kind of ads. I added a resources section with a map with 30 locations to find the Snitch and a link to the datamined gear attribute sheet. Cassie Cassie is a gunrunner vendor that moves location every couple of days. To find her, you need to talk to Jared \"The Snitch\" Nash in one of the locations I have listed on my map. His location is random but it usually takes 2 or 3 location visits for him to spawn. After you talk to him, he will give you a bounty and Cassie will appear on your map with a shopping cart icon. You can do the bounty or save it for later, it's not necessary to browse Cassie's inventory. She will open for 24 hours and will close to relocate for 32 hours. These are her open times Sunday 8 00 PM EDT Wednesday 4 00 AM EDT Friday 12 00 PM EDT Besides her random stock, Cassie will always sell two named items the Shield Splinterer assault rifle and the Hunter Killer chest. In order to see these two items, you need to have opened the ivory chest at the White House and the Off white chest at Haven. You get keys for these chest by killing the hunters in DC and NYC. Resources Timers Website A couple of members of The Division Community Discord made a site that shows all the in game timers in your local time zone. It also has the open and close timers for Cassie so you can use it to check if she's open or not before you go find the snitch. The site can be accessed here Wiki Page The link for the current weekly thread and the vendor items list is always available in the Vendor Reset Page in the community resources. You can find it in the top navigation menu of the subreddit. If you're on mobile, it will be on the sidebar. The Division 1 Reset Some of the guys and girls in the vendors team are trying to keep The Division 1 vendor resets alive. The sheet will be automatically updated when they are done, even if they haven't posted their weekly thread. I will add an edit with the link to their weekly thread when they are ready. These reset happen on Friday nights at 7pm EST. Items on sale Credits The resets are brought to you by a dedicated team of fellow agents from this subreddit and The Division Community Discord. Thanks to u DizNootz, u Google 1234, u Hurinzor, u Duke Shambles. u Insecurity exe and other volunteer agents who have been constantly helping.

{"_id": 14, "text": "The Division 2 multiple methods of fixing game crashes while streaming. After some work on trying to get this to work without the game crashing on a fellow streamer (Bert Ferkins awesome streamer go check him out!) while they stream it we finally found a solution that worked in this case. I say this case as the fix might not work for everyone, oddly enough in many cases just one of these fixes worked for some people and not for others. But basically the issue is coming from the Anti Cheat software, its causing the game to crash when being captured by streaming software. The following fixes I hope works for anyone looking to solve this issue until one day Ubisoft fixes it. amp x200B 1. This is what worked for us, there's 2 steps to this fix, step one alone worked for some people Step 1 Use display capture, game capture seems to always crash the game so swap it around. This alone could stop it from crashing so test it after changing this capture type. NOTE this can for some reason cause the game to become SUPER bright, to fix this go into the game settings gt video gt HDR and cycle through the settings till you find the one that works for you. amp x200B 2. Windows has its own game capture (please note we are using windows 10) we ended up turning off both the Xbox gaming bar and Windows Game Capture. To do this you need to go into your Windows settings and click on Gaming, from there you can disable both in their respective tabs. amp x200B Gaming in Windows Settings. amp x200B amp x200B Where to disable game capture. amp x200B Where to disable the game bar. Once we did all of these the game stopped crashing and was streaming perfectly fine. amp x200B Now as mentioned above this might not work for everyone so here are other solutions we tried but didn't work for us, they could however work for you. Anti Cheat hook disable via obs or streamlabs Rolling back to a older version of obs studio (only works for obs studio) (Old versions of obs amp x200B Please not these fixes are all for Windows , I have no idea how to help you on any other platform. If you have another fix please post it here for people to use and or message me so I can add it to the post. I hope this helps while we wait for Ubisoft to fix this problem."}

Well, looks like things are not like they seem and they pulled a Bardon Schaeffer on us again. amp x200B Once you \"kill\" Faye and end the mission, you can check over her body and see a symbol with a bust and an exclamation mark (that's the symbol that people in the staff roster have in the Boos btw). Weird, I thought. So I proceeded to shoot her in the leg out of fun and...I saw the icon disappear and my HUD flash red like when you grab aggro on enemies. After a few moments, some BT grunts and bombardier doggo tanks showed up from behind the barricade where the helicopter is. Well that was even more weird, but I had a feeling this was not random and therefore I fought them while standing close to her body because I thought I understood where the thing was going. After they were all defeated, the body was still there with the icon appearing again and I repeated the process. Again the HUD flashes red, but this time a BT chopper shows up and more mobs lower themselves from the rope. This time, to check if my intuition was correct, I left the body and went to fight them head to head. Once I was done with them, I went to Faye's body and...my hunch was proven right. She was not there anymore. Also, but I cannot be 100 sure about this, when I was next to her disappeared body I think I've heard some footsteps despite all enemies behind dead and me standing still. I think I need to re run this mission without directives and with scanner pulse to check if you can see someone. amp x200B Considering all of the above, and the fact that there is no \"Rogue agent deceased\" audio this time around, I think it is quite clear they're trying to hint she's still alive (well accounting for the suspension of disbelief of someone surviving after I shot her in the head with a .50) and that someone managed to snatch her body. Those BT units basically went in to provide a distraction for whoever took care of that. amp x200B You can see the entire thing in this video here Edit just to add on it the doggos and the helicopter are the only prompts you get, no more mobs after shooting her after that. She eventually despawns after several minutes. However, doing the mission again to try it I've also noticed that Ellis and Lau in the echo have their alignment tagged as...outcasts.

I find quite annoying and poorly designed that, for most of the gear set loot, we need to scroll down to see some of the stats and talent. This scroll down is due to the description of what the 2 , 3 and 4 pieces bonuses do. Despite the descriptions of the bonuses are important, for a big part of the player base, they are irrelevant as we know it already. Though, the stats and talents vary so, everyone needs to check it.

I even purchased the Gold Edition at the time just to support the franchise albeit 2019 was a bit busy on games so I didn't feel the urge to comeback. After coming back from almost two year hiatus and completing NYC and now grinding the new apparel event. There is just a lot to do in the game. I've never been a fan of GS and the removal of that being replaced with the SHD level is so damn awesome. It makes playing with a large variety of friends easier. Reminds me of Borderlands 2 Badass Levels. It is just plain fun to hop on the game and just enjoy it for what it is. Now that's not to say the game is perfect because I've ran into issues and besides the issues the game lacks a good Main story. Nonetheless though the world, atmosphere and audio logs have more \"character\" then the actual characters in the game I do want to try some PVP....maybe?

Overcharge has been discussed before but I'm curious to know other agents' thoughts on the potential uses of this mechanic and what changes could make it more attractive. I realize it is unlikely that Massive will be making any significant updates or rebalancing skill builds anytime soon but figured a discussion might be interesting anyway. I also realize that on lower difficulties, pretty much any type of build can be viable but for purposes of this discussion I am referring to viability at Heroic and Legendary difficulties. I don't have experience with Raids but perhaps others have relevant ideas on uses in that context. I also realize that BTSU gloves are useful in a team setting due to the team wide effect, but I'm referring to the individual Overcharge mechanic (lasts 15 seconds, 60 second cooldown) that is generated by using Acosta's Go Bag or the Energize backpack talent, and Future Perfect weapon talent (90 second cooldown). Apart from the BTSU gloves, is it the general consensus that Overcharge is not worth including in a build? The only ways I personally utilize overcharge currently is by using Acosta's Go Bag on two builds, which I don't use often A healer build (chem launcher healing hive) in situations where teammates are likely to be spread out (since overcharge greatly increases the radius and haste of both skills) and where teammates don't have any use for the BTSU glove team wide mechanic. This isn't my main healer build. An oxidizer chem launcher build. But from what I can tell, this isn't as effective as focussing a build on Tag Team and or skill haste and skill duration. I've seen hybrid builds using Mechanical Animal, but with a pure skill build I don't see the gun talent as a reliable option since it is hard to proc (especially in a group setting). Prior to TU 12, an overcharged sniper turret build was possible but was patched So with all that rambling, what are ways people utilize overcharge in heroic legendary content? Any thoughts on making overcharge more viable? Would increasing the duration or reducing the cooldown make it worth consideration? Should it be changed to give permanent boosts to deployed skills (like the sniper turrent pre Tu 12)? Or should the Overcharge tier of certain skills be improved (e.g. some skills only receive increased radius currently but could also receive increased damage healing, etc.)?"}
{"_id": 14, "text": "My thoughts on The Division 2 survival Many of us loved it when survival came out for TD1, but why we couldn't have it in TD2? So I came up with some ideas with Survival DLC which is basically TD1 survival but in DC. The setting is, of course is when a hurricane hits DC. So instead of dropping body temperature in TD1, what agents have to face a new threat object blowed by the hurricane. With every second you are not in shelter, the chances you get hit by an object and dmg per hit increases. Let's say there's totally 5 hazard level where the chances you get hit is 5 10 15 20 25 , the dmg you received per hit is 5 20 30 60 100 of your total armor. If all your armor is depleted then next hit is guaranteed one shot kill, player receive stagger at hit at third level and on. other players can revive you with a medkit. Mechanic 2 walking away from hurricane gives you speed boost and towards it slows you down. Mechanic 3 there's a threat and there will be counter measures. Instead of cloth in TD1, in TD2 you will need to find something called \"additional protective layer\" which give you bonus when get hit by objects. By wearing more layers, you can achieve protection tiers, each tier grands you more protection, let's say there total of 10 tiers, first tier give you 50 dmg reduction towards first hazard level, second tier makes you immune to hazard level 1 dmg, it continues with this pattern but the max bonus you can achieve is 50 dmg reduction for hazard level 5 and immune to hazard level 3 dmg. Mechanic 4 we still need something to push agents progress just like contamination in TD1. I have two thoughts on this, first one is dehydration, similar to when you turn on your AC at home, your lips feels dry pretty quickly. The hurricane will make you dehydrate and you need to obtain water or soda to help you. Mechanic 5 vending machines are kinda rare compare to other resources, so there's another choice for agents to choose, which is drinking dirty water on the map, with each sip agent will receive a poison dot debuff and keep agent's health bar permanently lower, using antibiotics can remove the lowered part and the dot at the same time. Mechanic 4.2 as the game process some area on the map will be flooded and become un accessible, in the end the player will die because there's no more resources to be obtained. Of course the destination will not be completed unreachable but player might need to take a detour. Mechanic 6 rescue radio channel. White House has its counter measures, they already set up secret safe house for this situation. Player will encounter with radio stations scattered around the map, using them and player can locate nearby safe house, but due to the hurricane,each time you only get one piece of the information about the location of the safe house and one part of the code for accessing the door. Collect address to locate the safe house, collect code to reduce your time bypassing the door. Mechanic 7 Rogues and hunters. Both of them have two spawn mechanic, rogue will spawn when you are using the radio station and when you are bypassing the safe house door. Hunters will spawn randomly and when you're bypassing the safe house door. Rogues will walk toward your location and shot you on sight, hunters will spawn nearby and walk towards you once you are engaged with enemies. They will not spwan alerted so you have chance to turn hunter against rogues. That's all I'm able to come up with, do you like it or do you think it can be improved? Leave comment below and let me know, I'm open for critics too."}

{"_id": 14, "text": "Returning player looking for info advice So I stopped playing TD2 back in 2019, did everything but the raids and had a lot of fun, had a decent build. I re bought the game with WONY expansion for Stadia and completed the campaign. Haven't optimized any builds yet but I was always a team player so wanted to try artificer build. I noticed that in heroic I do near zero damage. A full mag from SMG or AR with 90 headshots takes a red health bar down about 30 . I see other guys melt like 3 enemies with 1 mag. Is there a hidden gearscore or something? Are talents and attributes just that much more important now?

I'm trying with sniper, tank and HazPro builds focused on gunplay. I'm trying to make just some of TD2 NOT ABOUT cheesing fights with skills builds hiding in some perfect spot while I wait for turrets or creeping status effects to beat the game for me. Its a great challenge, but consistency and good gameplay go hand in hand, and.. yeah. Not consistent 1. EMP sticky bombs don't disable tanks. Not always. They'll still go full auto on the machine and lob grenades... while \"disabled\" by EMP (status effect shown on health bar). Othertimes, a full 10 seconds of sitting doing nothing. 2. The tanks flank so hard they go right off the map out the mission area. Right down the street. Other street NPCs get triggered, and you get voice warnings over lost hostages from nearby activities. 3. Sometimes killing the operator disables the tank, sometimes not. Sometimes instantly, sometimes tanks will keep firing accurately for 10 seconds. 4. Sometimes in the first section of DUA, you randomly kill the wrong guy too soon, which brings in the first heli within 30 seconds of mission start, and now you're fighting 20 guys at once. That should be a timed or threshold trigger insetead. 5. Explosion damage is wildly inconsistent. Tank grenades can still somehow be lobbed 80 yards with perfect trajectories to land beside you in cover. Sometimes, its a 1 shot. Sometimes, you can take multiple explosions to the head. Makes it inconsistent gameplay wise when to know to risk a dodge roll etc. Sawyers anti stagger pretty much works, but the animations screw with your aim so much sometimes I wonder if its worth it. Anyway, I don't really have a point. I'm just pissed off. And all I wanna do is PvP but that's even more an exercise is tolerating broken mechanics. Thanks for listening lol rant"}

The tax is deducted before they're paid. Do all Americans have to do their taxes? Edit there's been a few questions about how we do our taxes in the UK and I'm not doing a great job at explaining it so here is some info taken directly from our official government website How you pay Income Tax Pay As You Earn (PAYE) Most people pay Income Tax through PAYE. This is the system your employer or pension provider uses to take Income Tax and National Insurance contributions before they pay your wages or pension. Your tax code tells your employer how much to deduct. Tax on state benefits Your tax code can take account of taxable state benefits, so if you owe tax on them (for example for the State Pension) it s usually taken automatically from your other income. If the State Pension is your only income, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will write to you if you owe Income Tax. You may need to fill in a Self Assessment tax return. Self Assessment tax returns If your financial affairs are more complex (for example you re self employed or have a high income) you may pay Income Tax and National Insurance through Self Assessment.

{"_id": 16, "text": "Social anxiety is ruining my life I don't know if this is even social anxiety because I haven't been diagnosed but it sure feels like it. My inability to speak with people that are not close to me is really getting in the way of things. For example, my hobby is music production and a major artist with big industry connections messaged me on Instagram and told me to call him in August last year but due to my social anxiety and my accent (I'm from Lithuania and I can speak with a fairly normal English with just a little hint of an Eastern European accent usually, but when I have to talk to my English teacher or basically anyone I don't know in English, I just go into full cyka blyat mode and start pronouncing words like Borat) I didn't call him and he never talked to me ever again. This was probably a life changing opportunity for me but I just gave it up because of social anxiety and now it's gone and it's still killing me to this day, almost a year later. Now, I was invited to a recording studio a week ago by someone I've talked to online but I haven't met in real life to make some music but due to my social fucking anxiety I just made up a dumb excuse not to go. I know I'm probably going to be invited again, but I will probably not go once again because of... well you know what. I also have 0 self esteem because of my looks I'm fat, short, ugly, have bad posture because I don't go outside a lot, and sit in front of my computer in weird positions for the whole day, I also look and sound very young, like 12 14 y o, even though my 18th birthday was in January. I also lost all except for maybe 2 3 of my friends since last year. My life is just a complete mess, I would love to go to a psychiatrist to get a prescription or something but I refuse to go to psychologists and psychiatrists because I had horrible experiences with them in the past which made things a whole lot worse but it's a long story. I really don't know what to do, my brain finds something to be anxious about all the time, I'm probably depressed as well, but I haven't been diagnosed for that either. I also have a nasty habit of biting my nails and the skin around them which probably stems from my (again, I wasn't diagnosed so I don't know if I have it) anxiety, as do most things that are wrong with me. I really don't know what to do so I figured I should post this here, even though probably no one is going to read this. If anyone does, thanks )"}

{"_id": 16, "text": "I've given up and I don't care if I die today. I've struggled with social anxiety for years. I'm 19 years old currently. I don't know what to do or think anymore. I'm a pre university student, and academically I'm doing well, but I feel so unsatisfied with my life. People say the loneliest one can feel is when they're surrounded by the wrong people. I bet they don't know how it feels to be surrounded by the right people, but they can't talk to them because there's something inside their mind that doesn't allow them to. I'm really loud with my family, but I stil don't reveal my true personality for a reason I can't figure out myself. I've always wanted to make friends. I want to meet new people, find out their interests and just create memories together as we grow old. But I can't do any of that cause my social anxiety is so debilitating. To give you an idea as to how bad it is, when I was still at university, I spent 95 of my time in my room and I only went out to get food, but then I'd eat in my room. One time I broke down outside the cafeteria building (it was at night so I hope nobody saw me) because I saw that everyone sat with other people. They weren't alone. Only I was alone cause I couldn't bring myself to interact with others. It hurts so much when the only thing you want to do is meet new people and talk to them because you're an extrovert by nature, but you can't do that because you have crippling social anxiety. I'm done hoping. I tried to conquer my own inner demons for a year, but it's just so overwhelming I just can't do this anymore. All I do is hope that things will get better, only to be disappointed. For some reason I find it hard to tell my parents about this cause I could convince them to take me to therapy. Maybe it's because I'm afraid of being judged or seen as weak. But that's the only thing I can think of because it's said to be effective. But at the same time I've heard that some people couldn't recover even after therapy because it also depends on their own effort. Therapists simply help you to understand your problems better they give you the ammunition to fight. I'm not sure if I can do this again. I don't think I can hope again after being disappointed by myself countless times. There's no hope for me, is there? Someone mentioned that oh you're just 19...how can my life be ruined when I still have a lot of years ahead of me...maybe it's because I want to die? I don't care anymore. Maybe I am weak. I just don't understand anything anymore and I'm so tired. I still have a bunch of assignments to do and an exam to prepare for, but I don't even have the energy or interest to eat. Whatever. Let me just die or whatever."}

Joe Rogan. I love the WIDE range of people he has on his podcast, whether its a physicist or a comedian. 2. H3H3. I love both their podcast and youtube. They just have a vibe that I can relate to and love their podcast guests and the shit they talk about. 3. Paul Rudd. Love all the movies and tv shows hes in. He just has such a likable and lovable personality that I would like to incorporate into myself. More laid back, witty and kind. 4. Yes Theory. Another youtube channel I love. They do SO MUCH crazy social experiments and really push the idea of discomfort and it really helps motivate and drive me to better myself and have more life experiences and be spontaneous 5. Elon Musk. I love how he is so brutally socially awkward but despite his lack of social skills he is still a massively successful person and is STILL likable to so many people. Goes to show that there is no \"one size fits all\" personality to be successful or likable by others. So Who do you love to watch or listen to? Who are the people that you look up to?

A few years ago, my foster mom s brother died, and I went to the funeral reception along with many members of her extended family that I had only met once before at a different funeral. I don t like big gatherings in the first place, but it was especially nerve racking because as the foster kid, I was the odd one out among a large group of family and friends. One of the guys there was my foster mom s cousin s son or something like that. At one point, he comes up to me and asks for my number, saying that he s gonna hit me and wants to get to know me since he considers me family. He was kind of cute but almost definitely straight (I m a gay man), and I would feel weird pursuing it anyway even though we re technically not related. The problem is, in my panicked state, I perceived his asking for my number as flirting, even though logically I knew he wasn t. I smiled in a really excited way and ended up repeatedly nodding my head and saying sounds good way too enthusiastically. He repeated that he would hit me up, and I responded the same way, but even more intensely. I think I ended up coming off 50 flirty, 50 crazed, and 100 really f ing awkward. He never ended up hitting me up, and I probably won t see him again anytime soon, but out of all my awkward moments, this one comes back to haunt me the most frequently. Probably just because the amount of anxiety I was feeling at that moment traumatized me a bit. I can laugh at myself now, but I m still not over it."}

Another thing I suspect is that people tend to do what others are doing, so if their friends aren't interacting with you as much, they won't either, or they'll stop at some point. I suppose I also feel that I am not witty or funny enough, so when someone I think is cool follows me, I panic. I don't know how not to be too serious. I have deactivated my account because I feel so much pressure to get retweets or likes to make myself visible to people I want to be friends with. I feel so anxious on Twitter, but it's one of the few ways to connect with people like me, and I'm really lonely. So I guess my question is how do I make friends on Twitter? TL DR I live in a country where being gay is a crime, and I'd like to connect with other gay people on Twitter, but I am too anxious about it. How do I make friends on Twitter?"}
{"_id": 16, "text": "I feel anxious and often opt out of meeting new friends one to one as I feel I have a duty to keep them entertained and content, almost like a performance. I really hope this makes sense. For example say a friend asks if I want to hang out on a Friday evening, unless they re one of my very closest friends I will most likely say no to meeting them, as I have a fear of boring them or the prospect of them not having a good time. I think this has only been exacerbated by the pandemic, as the only real options for things to do are walks or meet for a cup of coffee. I know this may sound pathetic, or whatever, but it really is the case. I feel I have such a pressure on my shoulders when meeting somebody that I will often turn down opportunities. I don t even know what I m so worried about, I think maybe the idea that X friend would think less of me afterwards and choose not to see me again. I don t know if that is the case however, as I rarely seek validation in my friends in other instances."}

For me it's the biggest reason why I can't get over the social anxiety. People come to a negative final conclusion of me through scapegoating. People associate all the negative events in life to lonely people or people with social anxiety. I mean I get fear of the unknown but we are still people. It's just that we went through so much. Stuff that you will never even try to know but you're so quick to come to a negative final conclusion. I've experienced it so many times that I don't trust anyone. It might take time for me to come out of my shell. Why? because i'm still getting over years of scapegoating. Years of being treated like garbage because I tried to talk to people who already gave up on me.....who didn't even try in the first place. amp x200B I am scared of people. I am scared of prison. I am scared of being scapegoated. I live my fear everyday(not the prison fear). I wish I could meet someone who can be a little patient with me. I have to go through so much mentally.

I moved around a lot and never made a close friend. I had to get over so many people. Hundreds, thousands, if not over a million. I'm getting burnt out getting over people and then I still have to deal with all the scapegoating. amp x200B There's so many people who can like love so many different kind of people but for some odd reason no one can like me.

I had no sensible idea at the time of who can own and legally should have access to guns firearms. But of those 183 comments, althought very well insulting, were honest. What I said was stupid, and I gave what I said little to no thought. I just never imagined like 200 strangers reacting in barely over half a days duration (about 12 hours my comment was up) of those 183, how many of those people remember me from that day?

I have no idea who that is. If I still get pstd memories from that day, that is fucked as I was 23 at the time and turn 26 later this year.

{"_id": 17, "text": "Homemade granola lacks flavour after cooking, despite tasting good prior. How can I remedy this? I've been freestyling my own granola at home for a long time now. My partner and I were very into fitness pre pandemic and home made granola was a way of getting a good satisfying breakfast without excessive sugar and additives. Naturally after a couple of years I've been trying to diversify and experiment with different flavours. I usually work without a strict recipe but a basic formula for the \"base\" granola to which I usually then try to add infuse a particular flavour. The base formula usually looks like 6 cups jumbo oats approximately 4 cups of assorted nuts and or seeds (typically almonds cashews Brazil nuts pumpkin seeds sunflower seeds etc) 1 cup desiccated coconut a few pinches of salt a generous amount of cinnamon 1 cup rapeseed oil 1 cup honey 1 egg white (for extra cronch) To this I might add different things depending on what flavours I'm going for. Banana, nut butters, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, protein powders, coffee. Recently I tried to make a Turkish delight one with rose water. I've bought some pandan leaves and intend to try to use them to flavor the next batch. So anyway, all this is great and usually I succeed in getting a nice crunchy granola. The above ingredients are mixed first dry, then wet, then combine. In the oven at about 140 150 C for roughly 45 minutes total (depending on the ingredients and how wet the mixture is I might have adapt the time and take out the oven a few times to mix to ensure it cooks and dries out evenly). I always taste before putting it in the oven and I find that I can really prominently taste the flavour I'm trying to impart, but almost every time except in the case of chocolate I'm finding that by the time I'm eating the granola the next morning it just tastes generic. Like maybe a little of the flavour persisted but I'm losing so much in the cooking and I don't understand why, or how to mitigate it? Can anyone help?"}

For example if I put mustard with my olive oil and vinegar, I would have less dressing than if I used egg yolk."}

I take a dose most days, which means the bag lasts me between 70 and 80 days, and as I reach the bottom the whey gets increasingly clumpy, and it's harder to dissolve it into milk or water.

Is there anything else I can do to prevent moisture from getting in?"}
{"_id": 17, "text": "Salty Cookie Dough Ice Cream Rescue possible? Hi So I used a different brand for butter and it didn't say it was salted (unlike other brands). So I ended up trying the ice cream and it was so salty. There isn't enough ice cream to offset the cookie dough's saltiness. I don't want to throw it out. Is the following a good way to salvage it 1. Melt the whole ice cream 2. Save the liquid for rechurning the ice cream 3. Get the cookie dough 4. Create the same cookie dough minus the salt 5. Mix old cookie dough and new cookie dough 6. Get half for actual baked cookies 7. Rechurn the liquid and use the other half of the batter I used this recipe for the cookies I used half the salt, and made white and brown sugar equal, I also used mostly oat flour since I wasn't really going to bake it. My worry is that maybe the saltiness of the batter might have leaked onto the ice cream base making this attempt futile. Thanks Edit So I tried the suggestion to just melt the ice cream and mix the old dough with a new dough (took out the salt part) of the same amount. On the ice cream side, it turned out well. Annoyingly, separating the cookie dough didn't work super well that I lost like half the liquid of the ice cream. I tried baking the cookies and it ended with flat but great tasting cookies. I ended up just baking each cookie in a ramekin. I probably should have added more baking powder and flour to compensate for the ice cream base."}

One thing that has been a sticking point (litterally) has been getting the pizza from the peel, to the steel oven. I'm finding that using regular flour as the lubricant between the pizza and the peel leads to a fine ballance between the pizza sticking and a pizza whose base is covered in a unpleasantl layer of flour.

{"_id": 17, "text": "What is the functional difference between baking something in a hot oven vs. preheating with the food inside? Do any recipes call for this? (This is all concerning a conventional oven with electric elements.) I know 99 of recipes call for you to preheat the oven before cooking, but often when I don't really care (frozen food for example) I'll just throw it in the oven and turn it on at the same time. Hypothetically, I feel like this may result in a crispier outcome when doing something like reheating frozen chicken tenders, due to the coils being on for a longer amount of time and heating the outside of the food to a higher temperature than it would normally reach in an oven that's reached a somewhat stable temperature. I haven't really done any testing at all however. I figure in cooking there's always different ways to do things that aren't necessarily better or worse, just what you need for a different situation. Do any recipes call for this procedure?"}

I've always enjoyed eating raw fish in at trusted sushi places and such (where I know for sure they freeze it to kill off bacteria and parasites) but avoided making any dishes involving it myself. lately, while binging cooking videos on YouTube I've seen quite a few where the chef whips out a fish, prepares it however he'd like and just eat it with no problem. Now I wonder if maybe they pick specific fish? Treat it before going on camera (freezing it for example)? Or maybe I'm just completely misguided about the dangers of raw fish? Mind you the fish always looks the freshest. Same thing goes for cuts of meats, the chef pulls out a huge piece of ham and starts carving it to thin sheets and just eats it straight up I'm aware of the acidic cooking process when making a ceviche (although I heard that's not 100 safe all the time either) but now I see people just munch it straight up raw!

I'm thinking about the crushed pineapple, some oil, ginger, soy sauce and maybe something for some heat and some other east asian sauces I keep around (hoisin, mirin, black vinegar, etc ) but I'm wondering if there's a concern with keeping chicken thighs in a marinade that includes such an acidic ingredient like crushed pineapple. The plan would be bone in skin on thighs (I'm considering deboning per Carla Lalli Music's recommendation) and I would normally marinade overnight for low acid marinades. Eventual goal would be to brown the skin side in a pan then throw in the oven to finish. I can't seem to find good info online and would love to get your input. Thanks!"}

I am making a batch of chili (from The Food Lab, p. 259 for anyone following along at home), but I halved the recipe.

{"_id": 18, "text": "Question On Getting a Custom 3D Avatar Commission Pretext being I want to use an avatar that's a robot in it's design. And I mean humanoid in shape, but very much leaning into the 'composed of mechanical bits' side of things. The notable component is the head, which I'd want to do as a visual is a skull embedded behind a clear visor, with a transparent face projected onto the faceplate so that the skull beneath remains visible. Issue being I need a custom sculpted avatar and assets for this. I know it's not a simple design I want, and it requires a few skills outside the norm for just creating a soft bodied human avatar. As such, shopping around for someone that's practiced in robotic mechanical designs is necessary. Question being Is there a good place to find someone capable of creating hard bodied mechanical humanoid models suitably rigged for VTube VR? EDIT Working on a concept sheet personally as it stands. Opinions on if it'd be more logical to follow after a 2D or 3D design will follow I guess, but either way I would still need to hire an artist versed in creation and rigging of a full mechanical avatar."}

There s been many times where I ve wanted to have a therapy session because the past 1 1 2 months have been pretty bad for me, but then I remember I can t. I m just so frustrated with myself because it seems like everyday the amount of things I get done and my motivation decreases and that paired with home life is too much to handle so I shut down like I always do when I m overwhelmed and I haven t gotten much done since. Everything is just too much for me to handle right now and it s hard doing it alone. Ik I could reach out to the other therapist but ik myself so ik I wouldn t be able to open up to her that quickly(especially if I wind up not liking her as a therapist bc I ve been down that road and it took me 4 years to even remotely let that therapist into my home life and even then I sugarcoated everything).

He continued to basically berate me and told me \"so your Dr has you on 20mg IR x2 a day, I feel like that's a bit much and considering it's not considered an \"essential\" medication, you should probably only take half and make sure to take days off because it's a controlled substance and you don't want to go down that road ya know, especially since you have the good RX Coupon this stuff gets expensive.\" I replied that I had discussed it extensively with my Dr, I was diagnosed as a child and left untreated, and that so far I found the dosage to be perfect with treating my symptoms and that he's not my prescribing physician and has no background of my medical conditions therefore while I appreciate his advice, I'm going to follow my Dr\"s instructions. He huffed and handed me the bag with my meds and make a backhanded comment about how \"Im just trying to help you\". I'm sorry but what???

She is now in her third year of high school, and has struggled throughout her entire school experience. E is currently taking summer school to try to make up a failed class. (She failed nearly every class while at home learning was in effect. Even when school is in person, she may only pass 2 courses per trimester.) When I got home from work tonight and asked about schoolwork, she said I was stressing her out too much and that my expectations were too high. When she s doing well, she says I just stop punishing her. I sat there and didn t even know what to say. My expectations are for E to simply pass her classes, and she knows this. I m not asking for A s and B s. I would be satisfied with D s. Last trimester when school was in session for a few weeks, she passed all her classes except English. We praised her throughout the trimester and when the final grades came out I gave her 20 to buy whatever she wanted. We got Disney so she could watch The Mandalorian. She doesn t see these as positive rewards. Instead she protests the bedtime, the screen limits, having to wake up in the morning, walking dogs and emptying the dishwasher. She would prefer to be online all day, or watching TV, or drawing. The rules are set so she gets a decent night s sleep, can do schoolwork without being distracted by games, graduate high school, and go out into society. Obviously you re only reading the parent s side of the story, but I want to ask you all. Is asking her to pass high school, and enforcing the habits that will allow her to accomplish this too much? Should I just give her the extra years to let her brain catch up, let high school go entirely, and let her dictate the course of her life? I am tired of always feeling like the bad guy."}

I'm not here to debate whether to take a drug holiday or not, but I am curious for those that do take some days off, when do you decide to take a day(s) off and what do you plan to do that day? I was diagnosed a few weeks ago ADHD PI, I have an appointment to hopefully start meds in 1.5 weeks and I'm just thinking about what I want to get out of them, and possibly if I want to take them every day or take a day off a week or something, either to slow down tolerance building or just to have some extra in case I have to delay a refill for whatever reason (which I assume is going to happen eventually). I feel like there are types of days where I wouldn't need meds. Like the type of day where I'm either exercising a lot or out in nature or doing something new and novel with a friend who keeps me on track. At the same time, I don't want my meds to only be a work thing, because I also have hobbies I want to focus on more and to build better relationships. Anyways, I'm just thinking out loud now. It might also be the case, I take a day off from meds and just do absolutely nothing and that's okay too probably."}

{"_id": 19, "text": "\"Brain fog\" and zoning out when faced with work This happens to me when I've let things slide, when I'm behind on work, and when I've passed the acute anxiety phase (or skipped it) and am now just in the 'deep sh t' phase or just about to reach it. Particularly when I haven't met my own expectations or goals for completing something on time, for whatever reason, this is what happens. I sit down at my desk to do the thing that I need to do, and I just can't focus at all. I try, for a few seconds, but can't get my brain into the mode or \"the flow\"... so I get up, I do something else, I productive procrastinate, but each time I return to the task, I physically cannot bring myself to do it. Sometimes I just have days like this, unrelated to being behind on a task but probably just overwhelmed with how much more I have to do until it's finished (a long project for instance). Like the inability to focus sometimes comes on as an energetic need to get up an \"go do something else to rest\", or sometimes as extreme fatigue and tiredness, that I can physically feel around my eyes like a fog, that makes it hard to even think. This is usually the point at which I realize that I haven't taken my medication... but I'm currently out, probably for several weeks as I just moved and have a new practitioner. Does anyone else experience lack of focus like this, and what can you do, organically, to get around it?"}

My instructions were to take the pill in the morning an hour after I finished my coffee, and then to follow up in the late afternoon by eating an orange. This, in my psychiatrist's words (paraphrased), would make my brain think it had taken another pill, extending the effects of the first.

{"_id": 19, "text": "Meds Demonisation and Bogus Societal Logic I just watched a video of a neurotypical taking a negative stance against stim meds for ADHD because of their own experience with addiction to them. One main point made during the video is that \"They're giving meth to little kids!\" which really got me thinking. We all know the way ADHD meds are treated is wack. Someone wouldn't freak out and say \"They're giving methylxanthine (caffeine stimulant class) to little kids!\" It's just a can of coke. The thing that makes a molecule a drug is its effect on humans, not something inherent about the structure of the compound itself. I think it's hard for nt ppl (and ADHD ppl through external reinforcement) to disconnect the molecule's inherent structure or name from the effects it has on (most) humans. No matter how well it's communicated that \"It doesn't get ADHD people high,\" it's still MeTh (I know that Adderall and Vyvanse aren't technically \"meth,\" but the primary difference is the absorption rate, having very similar effects on nt ppl at equivalent doses). If everybody (or the majority of people) reacted to stimulants the way that most ADHD people do, stims probably wouldn't even be regulated, or they would be regulated on the same level as \"acceptable drugs\" like alcohol and nicotine (that's a rant for another day). Imagine walking into a coffee shop and getting a Methylphenidate muffin or Amphetamine gummy bears. To (most) ADHD people, meds are no more abusable than caffeine is (which certainly isn't zero risks, but you can't deny how incredibly different they're treated). Nobody wants to feel like a robot from taking too high a dose, in the same way that nobody wants to experience caffeine jitters. I still feel some imposter syndrome and external judgment related guilt taking my Adderall IR any more than once every other day, even though it really helps me. I really wish that I could take my meds and it not be treated any differently than my friends' morning coffee. I'm lucky enough that my parents don't think I'm an addict, but my dad still gives me shit saying \"I don't want you to become dependent. You worked fine without meds for years.\" I know you aren't talking mister 6 shots of espresso a day. Who's really the dependant one here?"}

So I am not diagnosed with ADHD, but I take Vyvanse for other reasons. My dosage is considerably high for someone without ADHD and causes my pre existing anxiety to go absolutely crazy. I can t lower my dosage so i m also being medicated to try to combat the anxiety, but because of the pandemic and being inside all day the physical effects have been killing me for a while. I constantly feel like I have to be actively participating in or making something or i can t do anything but lie down and feel my heart beat speeding up while my anxiety pummels me like im a helpless little punching bag. I ve found that something that helps me to cope is playing games on my phone (iphone) that require a lot of concentration (when i say concentration what i really mean is that there s constantly something to do i guess? something i can really fixate on to distract from the anxiety). The problem is that i ve run out of games!! I was hoping to get some recommendations for games on the app store (or even the computer!) that anyone else has found to be distracting like this!! Whenever i find something new and then i end up playing and finding out you have to spend a lot of time waiting unless you pay for the add free version it s just so distressing and i just want to feel a little better and distract myself while i have nothing to do at home ) Any help recommendations other advice is so so greatly appreciated!! Thank you all! (p.s. I m really not sure if this sub is the right place to be asking about this and I totally recognize that as someone without ADHD this is not my space, but i thought it was worth a shot! if this is in any way disrespectful please let me know and i ll correct myself ASAP!! also if there are better subs for this question i m happy to post this there and or remove this post!!! thank you again!!)"}

Also, if this doesn t fit here, let me know and I ll delete it. I have dreamed about becoming a surgeon (more specific a trauma surgeon) my whole life. I tried to think about other careers, but I ve always felt that medical school was the only thing to me. In my country, medical school is the hardest to get into. To get into a public university, people spend at least two or three years after finishing high school studying only for the exams to get into college. I finished high school in 2019, and tried to study in 2020 for the exams. I had so much difficulty. I struggle really bad with basic math, chemistry, physics and biology (these are the ones who count the most in the exams). I only got diagnosed with ADHD in the middle of 2020, after a very dark and depressive time. I actually though I had depression. So, I struggled during all my school life and it showed while studying for the exams, since I didn t knew the basics. I just... couldn t bring myself to study anymore. Yes, it s my dream, but I just feel like a failure. Even with meds (ritalin), it was so difficult to focus, and after a while I just stopped trying. I feel so dumb. Everyone tells me I m smart and I can do it, but when I sit down to study nothing happens, it feels like I m stuck at the same spot, again and again and again. So I gave up. I m studying to be a nurse technician, but deep down I know this isn t what I m supposed to do. Without going into much details, because I know people have different religions and this isn t the focus of the post, I m very spiritual, I have always believed in destiny and stuff, and inside my religion, also in the middle of 2020, I had a confirmation from the orishas that becoming a surgeon was the right path for me (but my religion also believes in choosing, so, like, this is my path and what is right for me, but I can choose not to do it). I know this is what I want to do. Every night I lay in bed dreaming about touching a scalpel, performing a surgery, and I feel in every part of me that this is what I want, this is where I m supposed to be and where I want to be. I want this more than anything, but it seems like it doesn t matter how much I want, I don t have the strength to do it. I take my meds, I sit down and I still can t focus in a basic math class. I like the nurse technician classes, but it doesn t full fill me. I feel the urge to go beyond, but I don t know how."}

I don't condone or excuse this behavior but simply want to point out how I recovered afterward. Generally when I act out like this the guilt and shame is so intense I become disgusted and spiral into a deep depression. I want to disappear. Many other times I contemplate suicide because I am so horrified that my family has witnessed this. On this particular occasion I recovered quickly. Made sure to explain to my daughter that sometimes people get upset and have a hard time controlling their reactions. \"It's not ok and I'm sorry if I scared you.\" We had a family moment and bonded instead of my usual retreat. We talked about things we could all do during moments of frustration. Instead of jumping into guilt and isolating I was able to recollect myself, forgive myself for making a mistake, and teach my child that it's ok to mess up but also make amends. In the past (before therapy and meds) I felt that was impossible. For a perfectionist this is a great victory. It's ok to mess up it's what happens after that matters.

If you're unfamiliar with cataloging, then I'll explain it below Whenever you pick up an item, it is automatically cataloged in your Nook shopping and you can then purchase it later as long as it's a purchaseable item and not DIY items or speciality item. A cataloging event is when you come and pick up a BUNCH of top tiered furniture clothing items and then you drop them all down before leaving. This is so you can purchase those items whenever you get back to your island and need them! You do NOT get to keep the items!! You just drop them afterwards and not take anything with you! I'll have a lot of variants of top requested sets and items such as popcorn machine, diner set, antique set, cute sets, Fireplace variants, sofas, floor lights and so much more!! There will be an entrance fee to make up for my time and to ensure I don't lose money on possible stolen items. What items are y'all looking for? I'll add it to my cataloging events in the future )"}

He repeats the chorus for basically what feels like the whole song in my song opinion. It gives me Ain t no Sunshine by Bill Withers, vibes, the rhythm is a little melancholy, it s not a motivational song, and I believe has a light beat.

He s angry about that and vanishes (I think) I also remember the mine collapsing at some point and that in the end the family gets all the wealth that the dwarf collected over the years. There s a scene with a mountain hall containing many diamonds. I think the dwarf dies in the end Anyone know the movie or the fairy tale? Thx, have a good day"}

At the end of the video, I remember there is a curtain of some sort and he plays an electric version of the instrument and everyone seems unamused and starts leaving as they want the older version of the instrument. I also think I remember the instrument he had was long and sorta like a guitar but I am unsure because it's been a while."}

Like one age group partied and drank, another sold bananas to each other like business. By the end, you find out the MC is the oldest and he was traveling to each island with his son, I think he had Alzheimer's. Another video was about time travel, and if you went back in time you could theoretically become their god. By going back with the times of solar eclipses you can amaze everyone. Then he went on to explain a method of remembering using a three picture scheme to keep track of all the dates.

I only remember a few scenes since I was pretty young at the time I catched it maybe in the middle end There were like 5 people in a big house in the middle of the woods. They were kidnapped and I think one of them tried to escape and died in some traps that were outside? I remember one scene where one of the people there was forced to rip the nails off one of the girls. Then another one when a girl had acid poured all over her face. Then, the scene I remember the most is the part after the ending It showed one of the surviving girls (the acid one) like 5 years later or something, she was buying something at a store. Part of her face was deformed, and a little girl saw her and asked her mom \"Mommy what happened to that girl?\" or something like that The movie was in color and im pretty sure it was in english with subtitles, but it could have been dubbed The lat scene is the most important scene for me, if it doesnt have that last scene it's probably not it.

I saw earlier that apes are talking about a class action law suit, as people mentioned this can take years. Don't get me wrong if it starts a ball rolling that gets attention then I'm all for it. I'm from the UK but live in Australia, reason I mention this is that in the UK if people put forward a petition and it gets 10,000 signatures then Parliament are forced to discuss the issue. Is there not something similar the US apes could do on mass and furthermore that international apes can help with. Isn't there a way to get something before congress or the senate (sorry if my American politics isn't on point)? A while back apes were sending complaints to the SEC and a lot of other apes were saying don't do this its pointless etc. It may be but there has to be something we can do on mass to gather attention as sitting back and waiting isn't doing much. Yes the SEC are passing new regulations so hopefully this is gearing up for what's to come. As some apes have said they are having closed meetings and cant state that they are aware of what's happening and what they plan to do. My issue with this is that if they know its all going to shit and that big things are coming surely they would have told the hedgefucks \"right you have seriously ducked up so stop what you are doing while we find a way to sort your mess\"? That obviously isn't happening as they are continuing to manipulate the market day in day out. So anyone out there that knows a way that we could band together to get this looked at?

Except for a few GME shares I bought at highs, to support our brothers, and small penny stocks I purchase with leftover change, I'm all in. I've been here since 8.01 and beyond. We shape our company with our votes. So, who are we voting for? What have these guys accomplished? What do their resumes look like? What are their Wall Street connections? I've seen some incredible DD in this sub, but frankly, GME's restructuring is fucking enviable. Who the fuck is running our company and why are we not looking more carefully at that? Can someone please get on that? I'm balls deep in financial accounting and HR management classes, and flat rolling shitty foreign steel. But, I'll do my best to add what I can to this thread, when I can. We need to remind these motherfuckers that they work for us. WE OWN (more than) THE FLOAT!! We saved their jobs and what used to be their company. It's ours now...we bought it (several times over), HODL it, and continue to buy more. We, as a community, produce stellar DD (big shout out and thanks to all of you) that exceeds investment grade research. We saved tens of thousands of jobs, although we're inevitability wrecking the lives of HF employees. Don't worry, we can hire them later. Side note You can call me a shill, down vote me into oblivion, I don't fucking care. I'm going to say this one last time, authorize the 25 million shares. If you believe that we own the float, if you believe there are billions of synthetic shares and FTDs sold short, just fucking authorize it. They can't cover now, as it is. 25 million shares wouldn't even put a dent in the squeeze, if you believe those two things. Papa Ape, Adam Aron, has done good by, and for, us. He sold ATM shares after we doubled, after we tripled, after we quadrupled, and into strength, no less. At no point did he slow stop our momentum. I don't know about you assholes, but I'm up 400 . You know who did it, and the many ways they did it. You're just too emotional to think rationally. Leave your emotions on your wife's boyfriend's nightstand. This is the market, this is Sparta, this is war! Many of you are new to investing, I am not. Authorizing shares for private placements, ATM sales (no discounts, sometimes at a premium), acquisitions mergers, and, dare I say it, debt equity swaps, is bullish. In a stock with this type of momentum? Alpha apeish! Silverback gorillionaireish! This is AMC's historical strategy, under Papa Ape's direction (look it up, assholes!). There's a reason they survived as long as they did. It's time to trust our top employee, CEO, Adam Aron. We own this company now (several times over). This implies that we must now take risks, to grow our company. Us fucking retards threw tens of millions of dollars at a company with poor financials and fundamentals. Now a lot of you are getting cute and trying to suddenly be prudent? Go fuck yourself with a banana, then eat it. Like it or not, you're in the big leagues of gambling now. Empower your employees to enrich your bank account. This starts with authorizing a meager 25 million shares (which we'll likely buy up, anyway) to your CEO, who negotiated that number down from 500 million... the same CEO that has more than quadrupled my investment. What's the worst that can happen? They short all of them, kick the can, and drive up the floor? Fuck it, I'm in! He's earned our trust, it's time to trust him to take us into space. Ape up retards, you're pussy's showing! TL,DR We need to intimately know who we're voting on to the board. We need to authorize the 25 million shares and trust our employee (Adam Aron) to do his job. We need to immediately stop acting like pragmatic, thrifty hedgefucks."}

I have been battling the system for 3 years, it simply keeps making the situation worse, the 2 that changed my daughters life April 13 2018 have still not even spoken with a police officer, she was turned away at a local hospital for a proper exam and sent hours away, which were critical minutes let alone hours. Looked at afterwards by the police and told \"She asked for it\", we're fairly confident she was drugged that night. I've spoken to lawyers, it's going to cost me 1 4 million at the least, which 100 I will work till my hands bleed to make happen, everyday that the clock ticks down puts my family in more of a position as we've only got 2 years from the day she turned 18 to take any legal action against the people who failed her, tho she can go after her attackers until the day she dies, but one way or another, I will make it happen for her. This would make it a fuck of a lot easier, but I still won't sell until we hit 2008.01 Why am I posting this, for hope, and to raise awareness. My daughter was later on told \"There was no consent\" but that still has not brought charges against those that deserve it. To some people this movement is about money, and good for those people, for me...It's about being the best fucking parent I can possibly be, being an advocate for my daughter who has been failed and failed again by the systems in place. Right now writing this I feel like the biggest failure in the world for not being in jail for murder...But i'm a stupid ape who knows better and has to be out here pounding on my chest demanding change. So while a squeeze would bring change to the markets, It would also bring about a better world where sadly the only way to ensure this does not happen to another victim, is to throw money at it. Anyways Apes, I love you all and you give me hope, tomorrow once again we hodl and ride! Just as a side note to you all, she's now 18 and holding her head up high fighting for herself, she's also an AMC HODLer as of this last week!"}

No body can make predictions on what will happen and you don t want people to sell early. The witching is a big opportunity. The more we cost them in interest the closer they are to the call from marge. There is a lot of potential interest on the table, even if they are ftd they owe. IMO Options are a big gamble. I don t want to trade them I want shares, but I m more likely to average up on shares if it puts more options in the money. I m not a financial advisor nor am I a good writer. I ve only got wrinkle. This is not financial advice. I do believe their debt drives our price action to the end game. I m excited to ride this week with all you apes w e may come!

The server itself is aimed to be quite a vanilla ish experience with some additional quality of life aspects that can really help when playing on a server such as teleports, an economy with a shop system etc. Obviously if you are looking for a pure vanilla experience this server will not be for you and I d recommend to keep searching. If you are from the Oceanic region and you re looking for a new server to play on but you re sick of the connection issues or time zone differences that arise from playing on US or EU servers this server should definitely be on your list of potential choices. That being said, anyone is welcome to join the server (ages, regions, demographics etc) as long as the rules of the server are followed. You don t need to be from Australia or New Zealand (you ll probably have a better connection if you are though)! Features A strongly community driven spawn with player owned shops A simple economy, where you can trade in diamonds for cash that can be used to easily trade goods with other players rtp, quickly escape spawn and teleport to a random location Lock or unlock chests and furnaces with lock, unlock and trust The survival world is pretty spacious giving you the option to build alone if that s your style Discord integration Online map Creative building world Rules The server aims to have a quite casual and laid back experience, however there are still rules that need to be followed to ensure that everyone is having a good time. A more detailed description of the rules can be found on the wiki which is linked above but I will also give a quick run down here. Don t be a dick. Absolutely no griefing. No spamming. Be respectful of each other. Don t swear excessively. No hacking or exploits. Please use common sense. Had enough of vanilla? Our server has multiple different game modes. You can check out the other available servers in the server info chat on the Discord. The invite code is linked at the top of this post. At the end of the day if you just wanna play some Minecraft with some friends or even by yourself, this server will be a great choice for you."}

Every month, the outer end islands will be reset except from where farms or other structures have been built. We will also be adding a world border at 20000 blocks out from spawn which gives a wide range of exploration. There will be players with different amounts of minecraft experience so we are hoping that all players can be friendly with each other and help out on community projects. The server will have applications to confirm whether the player fits the criteria for this server this does not mean Good At Minecraft'' but instead whether a player will be active and respectful of the server and its users. When I tried this in the past, I had inactive, uncommitted and toxic players.This is something I want to avoid at all costs so let's work together to build this small friendly community server. We are looking to invite a few more experienced mature players to help assist in being a staff for this survival minecraft server so if that is what you are interested in doing, you should come and check it out! The server has been released since Friday 5th February meaning it is a new and fresh world. We added many different additions to the server. For example, we have a shopping district with a community area, arena for pvp (WIP) if you would like to participate, custom achievements (WIP) and particle trails. As well as other developments, we will also view all suggestions made by our server members and consider including them into Remedation MC. As the server grows we are planning on creating community areas as agreed and voted upon by all members of the server. This also goes for any server changes, everything will get put up to vote. You won't be pressured into voice chat, I do hope to have an active discord server and a commonly used Voice Channel. As well as the Remedation Minecraft server, we will also have our own discord server. This is where you apply for staff and to get whitelisted to the server, chat with other members in voice calls or text channels, make suggestions and receive frequent updates about changes in the server, giveaways and important announcements. We hope that this discord can be a safe haven for our members and everyone can get closer and enjoy themselves. We will also have a buycraft which will contain ranks and trail particles. Anything bought will not give an advantage over other players as they all only provide cosmetic boosts. Although it is not mandatory, it s always greatly appreciated if you can purchase an item or donate as it helps us maintain the server for longer and motivate us to add new improvements for the community (All Money Contributed To The Server Will Not Be Profited And Will Be Incorporated Back Into The Server). In the end, our main focus is to provide an enjoyable server for our members . To conclude, we are looking for players that are enthusiastic and committed to being a part of the new Remedation community. Players with this mindset are what we are looking for as they can provide the best experiences for everyone. Does this sound like something you would be interested in? If so, make sure to check out the Discord server to get regular updates about the server."}

{"_id": 25, "text": "Does more credit extended to you increase or decrease your chances of another credit card approval? Also how long to wait before reapplying? I was denied back in January for the CSR. Called recon to no avail. I can't remember the exact reasons, and for some reason I didn't get a letter, but I believe one of them at least was age of accounts length of credit history. Just for some background 5 cards open total, first in December 2018 (Discover IT), most recent in August 2020 (CFU). Total credit line across all cards is 20k, with Discover IT at 10k. 755 FICO, 70k income. No debt or any problems on credit history. Anyway, I'm gearing up to try again for either the CSR or CSP. How much longer is recommended to wait after a denial? I think I have a shot at getting credit line increases on at least a couple of my cards (Amex BCE, Discover IT, maybe CFU). Would this hurt my application for a card like the CSR or help it? On the surface, it seems like Chase could say \"Oh, Amex is extending 10k of credit to him, so we feel better doing the same\", but on the other hand, maybe at some point they could look at it as \"He already has xx credit extended to him, not sure why he needs more it's risky extending more\".

{"_id": 25, "text": "Increasing Credit Card Limit without making an Inquiry So I'm a little confused about the process of increasing a credit limit. I am using the Chase Amazon card and I love the benefits. I utilize Amazon buying, Wholefoods for groceries, and I take advantage of all their special discounts. The problem is I can only spend like 300 month with it before my credit utilization is \"too high\" where credit karma tells me my credit score is going down (3 6 points every month). Because of this, I have to then switch credit cards to my AMEX midway through the month which is fine but the benefits for me don't even come close to what the Chase card gives back to me. I even have called Chase about this and they explain the only way I can increase my limit is if they do a credit check which is an even larger hit on my credit score. I just don't understand how if credit companies want me to use their card more why they won't just give me an increased credit especially because my score is in the 800s and I have never missed a payment. So I ask you all 1) Is it possible to get a credit increase without getting a hit with a credit check? 2) What else can I do in this situation?"}

Current card set up is as follows Amex Blue Cash Preferred Amex Cash Magnet Bank of America Cash Rewards (set to online shopping) Capital One Savor One Chase Freedom Flex Discover It Wells Fargo Propel The offer was 150 signup bonus for 1,500 spend in first 90 days. The card would effectively replace my Cash Magnet card for non category spend. I put roughly 10,000 on the Cash Magnet last year so the net gain for the extra 0.5 would be 50 plus the 150 SUB. The additional cash back is marginal, in my opinion, but it's not nothing either. The main benefit for me would be the Visa Signature extended warranty. Currently, I would put large purchases (i.e. electronics, appliances, eyeglasses) on other cards because the Cash Magnet dropped the extended warranty benefit last year (these purchases would only earn 1 ). The main drawbacks as I see them 50 minimum cashback redemption (I'd like to meet the moron who thought this was even remotely reasonable when considering the competitive landscape) The hassle of managing an eight card every month I'm leaning against it because I don't think the benefits are worth the extra hassle, but please correct me if I'm missing something. I do plan on adding the US Bank Cash later this year for TV Internet services and my gym membership I think this card is ultimately a better fit for me and would have added it sooner if Chase had chosen a different category for Q1.

So many times ive heard someone say \"thats not how he plays it\" or \"well on the recording they did this\" or \"thats not apart of the song\". YES! I KNOW ITS NOT APART OF THE ORIGIONAL RECORDING. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME! I added it in. Why? Because its more comfortable for me to play it that way, and also because it sounds good . For example, SRV bends the g string in the oppening to ccuttle buttin'. But if you prefer to play it with a slide and pulloff, thats fine. Why? Because it sounds as good, if not the same. Another example of this kind of gatekeeping is when your playing a lick heavy song (or one that at least is like 50 the origional artist improvising in the studio). Say you play voodoo chil(e d) and you add in a few licks or even swap out some of hendrix's bars for a few of your own. Theres always that ONE giy who, no matter how good it sounds, feels the need to point out that hendrix played that part differently. Heres my philosiphy when i hear you play a song, unless your in a die hard cover band, it shouldnt be a carbon copy of the origional artist. If i wanted that id look up a recording online. It should be YOUR own music, your own creation. I want to hear you play those \"wrong\" licks, because thats how music evolves. In my opinion, its better if you dont play a song exactly how the origional artist played it. Most of the great musicians of the world would probably agree that you dont truly own a song until you make it your own. If your music is the exact same as someone elses, are you a musician or a record player?"}
{"_id": 26, "text": "PLAY Fingerstyle technique Double sided thumb for picking, tremolo demonstration followed by instructional video Here's an instructional video on a technique I've been working on the last few years, playing with both sides of the thumb. I've seen it used in alzapua in flamenco, but that's mainly as a percussive strumming technique. I've also seen it used in ornamentation in Irish fingerstyle, and I know some bass players use it too. I still haven't seen anyone use the thumb either as an individual tremolo or as combined with the index to play two tremolos at once. I'm sure it's been done at some point, but I can't find anything on YouTube, so hopefully people find some new inspiration in these videos.

Came home with a brand new Epiphone SG Standard and he loves it.

Got home and the E, A, amp D strings still rattle til about the 7th 8th fret. The neck looks straight,I don't have a slotted straight edge to check, but I'm assuming the action is just too low. The buzzing annoys the amp out of me, but my son doesn't notice. At this point I'd normally swing back to the store to have it adjusted or drop it off at the shop that I use for my guitars, however in this case I'm wondering if it would be better to leave the action too low to make it easier on his young fingers.

I'm at the 10 manpower law and have a prince of terror advisor. So currently have access to a total of about 7 million manpower out of which the army navy airforce has about 2 million and the rest is just for garrisons. Currently my available manpower is 0. My off map garrison template is 2 full columns of cavalry and 3 columns of armoured cars (running a deficit of 8K of those at the moment) with a MP support company. My occupation law is set to Local Police Force and in espionage I've researched anti partisans and set my two available spies to Root Out Resistance in South UK and Yugoslavia. My current political focus is also set on lowering resistance. What can I do to help save the USA? Some things I thought of doing are to change my garrison templates to all cavalry temporarily and move both spies to root out resistance in the US. I can also change the occupation law but not sure which one to set it to temporarily. Any other advice would be welcome? I fought so hard to get to this stage QQ"}

{"_id": 28, "text": "Creating encirclements in Single player Hello, I have been struggling to create efficient encirclements as USSR against Germany during barb in 41 43. Let me give some context around here. 1. I have about 130 60 20 width meat shield pure inf. divisions to defend the front line. (And About 150 more in the back stationed far away from the front line just so I can plug gaps if needed, usually not) 2. Main elite divisions of heavies, mediums and motorized 40 widths, with logistics, signal, eng, maintenance etc. What I do here is structure a few army groups of 2 heavies, 4 mediums and 8 motorized. I use these to penetrate enemy lines. 3. Occasional mountaineer divisions if needed somewhere 4. I usually have air superiority or at least it is 50 50 for both sides. I do strive to build planes as well. Mostly Fighter 2s or 1s and bombers amp x200B At the start of Barb, Germany usually has an army of between 3.5 and 4 mil. Mostly stationed at my front. In addition to that the Hungarians and Romanians have a combined force of between 500 800k at the south. I let the AI bump its head a bit at the start, but I want to avoid letting them wasting millions just to my defence, I would like to beat it fair and square. Usually I let it accumulate around 600 900k casualties before I try to do something. Now here is where I struggle hard. Once I try to penetrate a zone which I deem easy say it has fewer divisions and also is a planes tile. Initially the heavies penetrate nicely, Once the spearhead evolves I use the mediums and try to push forward spreading it with motorized, but What I notice is that AI IMMEDIATELY moves and reinforces the spearhead, and it dies out rather quickly (especially if the few tiles ahead are rivers or mountains etc) Even though my medium tanks have a movement speed of 10.5 km h Somehow the AI still manages to pull infantry in front of my spearhead. I can see the infantry flowing from the neighbouring tiles. I also try attacking those tiles to pin down the enemy, but they still move away from them. What is baffling is how the enemy infantry manages to keep up with the spearhead and reinforce it against my mediums which I use to push after the heavies punch trough. Another point here. Usually when I try to push the enemy I always make sure the army has supply. Starting off of a green tile when I push the spearhead into the enemy after it opens the gap, it often starts lacking supplies (often going yellow, supply drops on average to about 60 75 , rarely red) (which I guess is normal) but I am not very familiar with how to effectively use the supply system, so I am sure this also affects my ability to move and attack swiftly. Sometimes my approach succeeds, but it seems random, I want to become consistent at this. Could you please provide some much need advice to what I am doing wrong here."}

{"_id": 28, "text": "Confused how a PeaceConference played out... Okay, so I was bored and played as the Belgian Congo and wanted to control all of Africa. I got my freedom and yada yada. Long story short, I controlled almost all of Africa... I kicked out UK and France essentially except a few pieces up north near Spain. Germany during this time had a decent chunk because of their war efforts throughout this time, so throughout all this, I had also declared on them and pushed them out quite a bit, all the way up to Morocco essentially. So, I m basically at war with a few pieces of Germany and the UK at this point. Mainland Germany eventually capitulates due to the Allies from the West and the Soviets from the East. At the end of the Peace Conference tho, all the UK territory in Africa was returned to them and I was kicked out to this little island, not even near Africa.

There are currently no factions in continental Europe (Germany lost civil war to the monarchists and no eastern factions have emerged yet) so I probably don t have faction problems to deal with (yet) but with historical AI turned off that s a time bomb.

{"_id": 28, "text": "Hoi4 MP hosts should play neutral nations This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Hoi4 MP hosts should play nations that are not in any of the three major factions.

{"_id": 28, "text": "So about the launcher this year... The Paradox Launcher has been acting up a lot more than usual for me starting this year. First of all, in the first few weeks of this calendar year there was an accidental release of a launcher update which caused many people whose machines installed it to get JavaScript errors. This went on for about a week or two before it was fixed but everyone who was affected had to delete and then reinstall the launcher once this issue was reversed. Now, with the actual release of the 2021.1 launcher there are even more problems. Many, just like before are having problems with the launcher but this time associated with the launcher not being complete. There are supposed to be tabs at the left hand side of the launcher such as Playlists and Mods Installed however many don t have this playlists tab and instead of one called Mods Installed , is called Mods . To add to this problem, no mods show up in the launcher and generally whenever a game is started using this slightly broken version of the launcher, the game crashes. I m interested to know if anyone has found a solution to this latest issue, if Paradox has released instructions for how the launcher can be fixed just like they did last time back in January, but mainly I want to know how many people have been affected by these problems with the Paradox Launcher that started last January?"}

Wish it would love me back I don't thingk that I liked a game so much that I would stomach losing entire days trying to learn it and earn nothing more than frustration. Yeah. I understand the basics, but somehow I always find that my German Reich never has enough divisions, they are always lacking equipment, and I jsut can't produce stuff fast enough. Even with the national focus that give mils, civs and infratructure, I always lag behind. Can't even produce enough aircraft because I can't keep up with infantry stuff. Even if I'm using a 7 2 and it baffles me. My navy is nonexistant. Last time I anenxed Belgium and took the indies for rubber, but then England decided that It was going to protect Poland and Czech. Late 37. Makes sense, but then I failed to invade Poland, Britain pushed its big I WIN naval button and I could see everything falling apart. It seemed that I could have resisted because the french were quiet in their corner and Italy joined the Axis. I always seem to lack stuff, even if I build civs the first year and them shift to fill it up with mils. They never get ready. I'm seeing the stats here and Poland has 34 65 divisions and I have 19 attacking Poland with almost 30 keeping the border with Czech, France and the coast. It's funnny because even if I managed to learn how to use navies, they're just inefective. Landing troops on England, the colonies, or even protecting my convoys is a distant dream and the English colonial forces are rolfstomping my indies. I can understand England, but how does Poland has so many troops to stop me? Although, perhaps the right question is what am I doing wrong that I can't output enough men to win. Even if I hurry deployment, I can't output enough equipment for them. Again... Not enough production output to keep up or even stockpile before I have to start fighting. Tanks. I have 4 divisions tops, and even if I put them to a decent template, they just lack equipment. It's weird. I feel like I understand how the mechanics work, but it's not coming together.

I don't control the Post Office nor do I have any idea what the delivery situation is on your end. I don't know if packages are left in your mailbox or on your front porch for hours, or if you have so called friends staying with you that might be untrustworthy, or whatever. If you are not comfortable with the Post Office or if you do not have control of the delivery situation on your end, I'd recommend buying at a local coin shop or something to limit your risk to what's more comfortable for your situation. In the event that USPS does mess up, I will bend over backwards to figure out how to get you made whole. If you want to add shipping insurance, I can do that, but you will have to pay the extra cost and be familiar with the details of the shipping insurance policy. Please don't rely on me for information about any of the particular legalities involved."}

{"_id": 29, "text": "WTS Silver coins mostly British some from Frankfurt Shipping Shipping is 4 tracked for up to 8 oz and at cost for any amount above within lower 48. For shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, APO, or US territories I will have to specifically determine the rate which will be at cost. I can ship anything less than 20 in value, less than 3 oz in weight, and not too bulky in a stamped envelope for 1.10, however there will be no tracking. Please note that anything in a 2x2 may be taped over for risky shipped. I will ship outside the US, but the rate will have to be specifically determined. It looks like world wide shipping would start at 9 for Canada and 11 for all other countries if you want tracking. With USPS experiencing historic delays and a plethora of other issues, I will not ship out of the country without tracking. Once I deposit packages in a USPS receptacle, you are at the mercy of USPS and as they are in responsible charge of the delivery, you should take up any issues with USPS. Payment I accept Google Pay, Zelle, Cashapp, Venmo, and PPGS. I will not take PPFF as I do not wish to get my account suspended. Leave the comments section blank for all payment methods. Not that you should be making any comments anyways, but I cannot stress this enough DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES MENTION CUBA OR IRAN. Buyer pays applicable fees on all payment methods. Note that the fees for Venmo, Google Pay, Zelle, and Cashapp are ZERO. Note that the fee for PPGS is 3 of order total 0.30. I will no longer accept checks or money orders. Please note the following new stipulation I will only accept Zelle, Cashapp, or Google Pay for purchases under 50. Purchases of 50 or more may utilize any of the listed payment methods including PPGS and Venmo. Other Notes No trades at this time.

These halfpennies were minted in Britain and brought over as spending money in the US since the US did not adopt a united currency used by all until the early 19th century. Anyways, Britain produced these with 9 10 grams of copper in them when fresh off the plate. When worn, true British halfpennies are around 7 8 grams. However, forgeries struck up in the US such as Machin's Mills in NY. Discretely forgeries appeared with weak strikes and less weight these forgeries were used in daily commerce since scales to weigh coins were seldom encountered. All forgeries of the type have the same diameter, so they can be distinguished from a farthing. They are all undated due to the weak strikes when these coins were made. All 1700s. As a result, each coin is priced at 10 each. Lot 5 1700s True British Halfpennies. These were the coins minted in Britain and exported to the US. These arent forgeries produced by people in the US.

I don't control the Post Office nor do I have any idea what the delivery situation is on your end. I don't know if packages are left in your mailbox or on your front porch for hours, or if you have so called friends staying with you that might be untrustworthy, or whatever. If you are not comfortable with the Post Office or if you do not have control of the delivery situation on your end, I'd recommend buying at a local coin shop or something to limit your risk to what's more comfortable for your situation. In the event that USPS does mess up, I will bend over backwards to figure out how to get you made whole. If you want to add shipping insurance, I can do that, but you will have to pay the extra cost and be familiar with the details of the shipping insurance policy. Please don't rely on me for information about any of the particular legalities involved."}

I could be wrong as I'm not that knowledgeable, but I use to be in the boat that there is no difference in cables until I found out about the update to 2.1 and thought why not give it ago, also finding out that Microsoft has made one X future proof by making it HDMI 2.1 compatible.

When you try to load on friends, you end up standing in the water half the time. If you are shooting around pre game, you can't see who is on the other side. We get people constantly disconnected from Park games. The out of bounds detection is still garbage the game can't figure out what is touching the ground and what is in the air. The AI has gotten progressively worse every year, to the point where it doesn't guard the three and will take a smothered three point shot with a center. There is STILL that garbage where you pump fake, the opponent jumps, you go up, and you knock the ball into their belly or elbow and they get the block. Courts still get glitched to the point where if you step onto them you get booted. Players still slide all over the place, like they are standing on ice... last night I had a game where a teammate pushed me from one block to the other by running into me, and my guys animation never changed... he just slid along, standing stock still with his hands in the air, defending the opposing post. Corrupted file? It is still impossible to dive after a ball and save it. When you are shooting around before park games, the ball detection is TERRIBLE... I run up to it to pick it up, and half the time my guy just kicks it. Fifa 2k21? You can sometimes inbound the ball at the top of the key and just... steal it. Still. Half of the time, instead of showing you who is on the other team on park, it hesitates, and then shows YOUR name under the other team, and it s a big mess. Getting OFF the court after a Park game is impossible... you hammer B for a minute or two, and then FINALLY your guy walks off, and then you walk off to find another game, and suddenly you are BACK on the court, just NOW walking off... while a teammate walks off across another game. Or sometimes you just get locked in and CAN'T get off. Icon passing on inbounds throws it to the wrong person a solid twenty percent of the time. amp x200B Sooooo.... yeah.

{"_id": 31, "text": "Changes I hope to see in Future 2K games 1.) Get rid of the Curry slide. It's a broken cheap move in the game. It seems like anyone who has shooting badges can ''cheese'' the game by doing this little circus move in front of three defenders and green it 6 10 times. 2.) Get rid of the Zen. I'll be honest, I'm not even sure what a Zen looks like, but I know it makes you shoot near perfect. If you can't shoot to begin with, you have no business cheating. 3.) Even out the game. While I'm some what pleased with the way 2k gives a little respect to defenders, its still not totally balanced. If you are a 7'0 big man, a 6'3 PG shouldn't be able to dunk on you to the point where you collapse on the ground. 4.) Get rid of animation transactions. If you have a build that can dunk or specializes in layups, I say give the players built in animation packages when they make their player. When you hit (like) 90 overall, your player should already be dominant with neat Dunk moves, you shouldn't have to keep on spending VC to purchase packages, hoping that your player will finally pull off a neat dunk layup move. But we all know 2K wants all the money they can get. 5.) Make moves easier to pull off. I am a 99 overall Center. 7'3, 290 pounds. I use to have a very difficult time performing (Gold) contact dunks and Standings dunks with my (Gold) backdown punisher badge! I also have Silver relentless! It wasn't until I learned that you had to hold on to turbo, RT with both joysticks up to perform these dunks. Why can't I just backdown an opponent with my 99 strength and hit the X button to get a dunk? Too much bullcrap involved to perform a pretty simple move. 6.) Even out competition. If you are playing REC and you're an 84 or so, you shouldn't be going up against a 99 overall legend. It's unfair and makes the game so out of reach you just want to quit in the 2nd quarter, but you are so deep in the game that you keep going to get your VC. 7.) If you're a 95 overall and want to quit an online game, why do you have to be penalized? Sometimes you don't even want to quit! Every now and then your wifi suddenly goes out, resulting in the game shutting off. You get back on and you lose your overall. I have no problem with people quitting and I'm sure I'm not the minority in that. 8.) Please bring back actual story mode on mycareer. I love mycareer, I used to play it a lot more, but with no story mode, it makes it UNBERABLE to play and I hate that because you have to play mycareer a lot (if you don't want to spend real money) to get more VC and your badges up.

HASN T heard of the game (which literally uses almost all their assets including imagery and ride audio) and hasn t been DMCA strikes at all to my knowledge. Like I said, I m just more curious than anything, so I d like to know your thoughts!"}

Lately we've have a lot of users, both new and old to Reddit, post to r Roblox about their new games, projects, and other cool things. That's great! And then they disappear, wait a week, and post their next project to advertise and spam their discord links. Then they do it again. And again. Many of them have never even bothered to check out anyone else's work or comment on it. I'd like to give a friendly reminder that there are self promotion rules if you intend to promote advertise your games on the subreddit. Self Promotion Rules gt Since Roblox is about creating and sharing your creations, doing so is not explicitly against our sub rules. However, if you wish to do so, you should post and comment on items outside your own creations. A general guideline is the 10 1 ratio For every one post you make about your own creations, you should be making 10 other comments and posts not about your creations. Since real money can be earned from Roblox, this rule is enforced strictly. Moderators will review accounts to see if they're contributing to our subreddit (and even reddit as a whole) to determine a course of action. These aren't new rules. They've been in place to encourage people to actively participate in the communities that they want to advertise to. We aren't going to chase after users who have done it so far, but we will be enforcing the rule, not limited to asking politely, removing the offending posts, warnings, and potential bans on the subreddit. All we ask is that you participate on the subreddit to a respectable degree. Nobody likes the door to door salesman that comes by every week, posting their advertisement, then running away without saying hi. By engaging with the community more outside of your own posts, it'll also benefit you when you go to promote your own projects."}

Also, that last guideline in that section is one thing that basically makes all games without a \"when you die, you ragdoll and drop to the ground\" system unable to enter. amp x200B For games with sophisticated moderation (Cafe games, discord roblox chatlogs), this makes them unable to enter the program because things like Discord or Twitter are blocked.

{"_id": 32, "text": "World Zero What is the best Tier III class? Just today I finally got enough class tickets for one of the Tier III classes. I'm trying to figure out which 3 classes would be best to get first. I started out as an Arcane Mage, and bought Elementalist. Overall, I like the Elementalist class, but I'm not the biggest fan of cooldowns and having to hug the enemy if I want Icicle Field and Lightning strike to land hits. When it came time for me to get a Tier II class, I ended up getting Berserker because I had heard a lot of good things about it. Although, in my opinion, it seemed very clunky and slow. I didn't really have the best gear for Berserker at the time, though so that probably played a part in me not really liking the feel of it. For the past few days, I've been searching the internet for any answers as to what the best Tier III class is. Most people have said it varies from person to person and their playstyle. I'm torn because I could self heal as a demon, which could make up for getting hit by enemies a ton or having to \"hug\" enemies for my spells to hit. On the other hand, Spirit Archer can shoot while moving, and I think it's the class that most players are right now. It appears it can do a lot of damage really fast. Dragoon to me looks like what I thought Berserker would be, but with a spear instead. I really don't know much about any of these classes, so any pointers? Tldr Trying to figure out what my first Tier III class should be in World Zero. More used to playing ranged classes. Mostly torn between Demon for the self healing and cool aesthetic, or Spirit Archer for the higher damage. Not too big on cooldowns or slow attacks."}

{"_id": 32, "text": "how did y all start playing ROBLOX and how did it play off? When I started, the reason behind wasn t being the fact that I wanted to try it out myself as I always played Minecraft and others like that. Rather because my best friend in school had to move for various and and reasons which I won t list cuz honestly, I literally don t know why. I made my account on the day of our last interaction for some time. I told him my user through other platforms and while waiting for him to accept my friend request, I tried playing some easy (easy for me now, in the present that is.) OBBIES throughout the platform. I kept raging on them cuz I did get the hang of the controls which seems really dumb now. He accepted my friend request the next morning while I was getting ready for some personal events throughout the day. At the end of the day I texted him some stuff on ROBLOX, then saw he was online on a Five Nights and Freddys game so I joined him, after that things didn t turn out as expected. Of course nothing goes to plan in this world so let s just say it wasn t that pleasant. Anyway I join his game first trying to figure out what the game was about then I said hi in chat hoping he would notice me. He ignored it and kept chatting with his friends while I kept figuring out how to play the game. I tried private texting him but it still was the same no answers. I can get if he just didn t remember that it was me but I didn t think it was because of that reason. I left and thought to myself Did he not answer me because I am a newbie and know nothing about the platform? Or was it because he didn t want to look weird talking to a noob in front of his rich friends? I kept thinking bad things like that to myself and watching YouTube. I texted him a few more times and as usual no response or reply. The next day I tried thinking that he was just busy and couldn t play on weekdays maybe because he has restrictions from his parents. I get that when someone is moving they have a lot of stress needing to adapt to a different lifestyle and thought of that for a few weeks not returning to ROBLOX and watching YouTube. A few weeks past and every day I logged on for a few minutes to see if my friend was online and I could get a chance at talking to him at least for a tiny bit but no, everyday for 2 months I d see if he s online but sadly NONE of those days had the iconic green online symbol rather a blank white background with his cool looking avatar. I unfriended him after a few weeks and tried playing some other games like Tower of Hell or Natural Disaster Survival until one faithful day would I meet my first ever friend that cared and picked me up during the early adventures of navigating through ROBLOX. I won t talk about that as it s another novel of its own but finally did I have a first real friend who interacted with me instead of ignoring me. I still think of him till this day but not as a best friend anymore, rather just a part of my life. I d like to hear more about other people s adventure of starting ROBLOX but yea... Have a nice day or night, goodbye. PS the first part is a bit unclear and I didn t list but I joined because I wanted to be able to chat with my moving friend."}

Is there any native Salesforce option to help fix the deliverability issues for the mc.com domain (that isn't using the email relay)? If not natively, what about apps? Our biggest hurdle is report dashboard subscriptions, as case notifications and other emails we have the power to change the sender. I'm new to this sub, so I apologize if I'm breaking any rules!"}

This is making admin work time consuming. We have 100s of products and Salesforce forces us to add products one by one. This makes user adoption poor. We have no ability to fuzzy search for specific products. This makes the user experience poor. We have negotiated Prices Per Account, which currently means making separate pricebooks per account. This increases administrative work for the team and is not scalable, because these pricebooks will need to have additional logic such as an expiration date. We need to have an inheritance for child accounts across product discounts. Right now this means custom code to facilitate this.

Been a Salesforce dev for 7 years now, almost entirely focused on declarative development, Apex, and Visual force. I haven't done much in Aura, a little here and there, and am just learning LWC now. I was hired to develop for a massive community implementation. And by massive, I mean MASSIVE. My company paid over 20 million dollars to have it designed by a big name consulting company. Took over a year to develop and probably at least 15 developers, including CTA's. One problem. This company was allowed to develop this site with zero technical oversight from my company. This was also created before I joined the company. The entire UI is custom written in AngularJS as a single page application which as many of you know, is ancient and losing support. We're talking hundreds of visualforce pages acting as JS controllers, html templates, style sheets... its a mess. I have been the most successful developer we've had in providing value to my company, fixing issue after issue after issue from developers cutting corners to meet deadlines. The value I provided for the price tag I was paid, IMO, is insane. Anyways, I finally was offered a promotion last month which is now paying me a more competitive SR developer salary. Although in order to get that salary, the role is actually architect. I was hesitant to take this role, however my boss said he felt I could fulfill it. I have no real tech background. I learned to develop on SF and apex is my specialty. UI work I am handy, but far from knowledgeable. Well, my fears are now becoming a reality. And it appears my company wants me to rewrite our entire UI in LWC. I dont know how to even handle this situation. They seem to think we can just copy paste the code from Visual force into a \"LWC page\", which I continue to tell them, is not how it works. The problem is, I'm not qualified to do this work, so they are not believing me, but at the same time, are expecting me to rewrite all this. From my perspective, it's a top to bottom rewrite. While we can use our old code base as a reference, it still needs to be rewritten line by line. And by someone, some team, more qualified than me. I only see 2 options do my best but fail, or look for a new job at a place that isn't such a mess. Anyone been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? I literally cannot sleep. I'm so stressed out, and feel absolutely cornered. It hurts so much, since I've worked so hard for this company over the past 3 years. And it seems they're throwing me to the wolves."}

I have a background in DevOps and Systems Engineering (specifically around CICD IAC Cloud System Design etc) in order to revamp how we're doing development and bring it into Agile. So while I have a heavy process skillset, i don't have much in the way of Salesforce experience. However i've been asked to take a leadership role in our salesforce environment in order to bring a high level perspective to what is effectively a continuous fire hose of work. We've done a lot of stuff, and made a lot of progress. I won't bore you with the details, but as we work through the roadmap i helped build to get us through the next 6 months and get some project that have been lingering moving.. I'm focused on the next steps and I have some questions I'd like to ask the community. I only give my background here in order to explain if I'm asking something stupid. While I definitely have issues with how the various groups are super siloed currently (salescloud, cpq, community cloud, service cloud, etc etc), I'm curious if it's common to have development and configuration changes in the same scrum teams? A part of me thinks it might be better to have a more centralized configuration management team that works at it's own cadence then to have them combined with the development team. It seems the testing workflows are not exactly the same, and they don't necessarily have a common skillset. However i'm being told by some that the various silo's are too different to have a multi purpose configuration admin team. I'm curious if others feel that way, or if the people i'm working with are locked into their previously held perspectives. This lends to a question i have specifically about a CPQ development team also. Currently I have inherited one person who handles all product management (actual products) who is part of the CPQ solutioning team. I'm wondering if it would make sense to have a dedicated Product team, basically splitting the CPQ team into two. I'd also be curious if anyone had any advice for rebuilding some new salesforce architecture and workflows based on any experience you all have. Currently we're working on moving towards CPQ, centralizing our QA team (with dedicated resources for the various scrum teams) centralizing our Release management team, migrating all the teams to Scrum, adopting Jira for sprint management and development workflow management, as well as bringing on Copado to rebuild our release strategy away from Change Sets.

{"_id": 33, "text": "Consent Management shortcomings Salesforce has been working for 4 years on a data model to manage a customer's preferences for GDPR stuff, specifically the Consent Management module and its data model. I care because I need to help my company implement privacy respecting preferences on our website for newsletter subscriptions and we decided Salesforce is the best system of record for this. After spending a week researching and playing with Consent Management, it is crazy how limited it is. It's still only 25 baked functional, only having programmatic support for Contact Point Type Consent It seems their team making it is 2 people. None of their or their partner's products use it. The docs consist of a few sentences and a YouTube vid. No roadmap. Changing field values, like checking the \"Forget Me\" checkbox does nothing. ...until you pay a consultant's PM to figure out what it should do and their developer to implement it for you. This is classic \"giant company cares enough to allocate half a resource towards a problem the company doesn't really care about and yet wants to look like they care\". Is anyone actually using Consent Management and getting value from it? Or is there future value to be realized?"}

I'm just wanting to gauge how many of you work at companies that restrict the importing of leads to just the salesforce database administrator? amp x200B My situation. We're currently looking to hire our salesforce dba after the last one left. It has been policy for me, a mid level marketing manager, to train our 7 regional marketers spread throughout the globe to do the lead imports for their region's tradeshows, workshops, etc. Traditionally we have imported all leads as new leads for kpi measurement purposes, and to ensure every lead is gone through by the sales teams (CEO wanted it this way). We pivoted to webinars with covid and have been kicking ass on the number of leads we're bringing in and our sales teams don't have the capacity to get through them all. So we're complicating(read improving) the import process in order to prioritize leads. My main concern is that I'm not sure I can rely on our regional marketers to handle this process every time it's needed, for multiple reasons. amp x200B In this process, I've come to realize that maybe this import process hasn't been designed to be performed by skillsets outside of traditional DBAs. So, how many of you work at places where roles that are entry level positions in non dba career paths are expected to relied upon to do lead imports? amp x200B Thanks for the data points!"}
{"_id": 33, "text": "Integration Architecture Certification I just failed the Integration architecture certification for the second time. I am obviously lacking some key fundamental knowledge since I was fairly certain I grasped all the material and got the majority of answers correct, yet to my avail I failed by a question or two. Has anyone recently passed the certification this release (WI '21)? I have yet to hear from any individual (even among my peers) that passed. Its one of those exams where even after still reviewing the course content and practice exams, I am confident that I answered the majority of questions correctly. I think I am going crazy. I am starting to believe that there could be issues with how the exam answers as programmed in webassessor?! There are so many questions that are extremely subjective and answers in many cases are arbitrary that even after discussing the questions with peers, implementing the logic in playgrounds and cross checking these answers against Salesforce documentation, there is no 'right answer'. They seem to include 2 3 paragraph questions filled with random useless data and then ask a question that is vague. Maybe they could have added some 'useful' information in the long questions to add a bit more context to choosing the answers they list? Some of the questions, I understood in theory 'what' they were trying to ask, but re reading the question over and over again, the wording just was weak and did not make sense or give the full picture. On top of all that, I noticed that this exam was filled with typos, grammar and punctuation mistakes and formatting issues.. Just weak Salesforce, especially for a 400 USD exam. If you passed the exam recently (as of the new WI'21) release, please provide feedback on how you found the exam? Edit I ended up retaking the SP21 version of this exam and passed with a reasonable mark. They evidently made some updates to the SP21 version and seems like they cleaned this one up. While it still is one of the harder hardest one I've taken at least now it seems like it is fair. I still found a handful of questions very arbitrary and I ended up choosing some answers based on how they expect you to answer the question vs what I really think would have been the right answer. I have worked on and architected plenty of integration projects and I still feel that the majority of this exam does not truly reflect practical experience, but rather requires you to more to get into the mindset of the person who created the questions and their chain of thought. I could have justified the majority of my answers in a debate but alas, multiple choice questions are simply right and wrong. This seems to be a thing with standardized testing where they need to throw in multiple questions that bring the average down. Either way, Kudos to the salesforce team for doing some do diligence.

The reason i want a headset that does Bluetooth and Game audio (PS5) simultaneously is because i play COD with my friends on Xbox 50 of the time . When i do, i use the Xbox App on my iPhone to join the Xbox Party chat. Currently, i plug the level headset to my phone for the party chat and use my sound bar for game audio. Not ideal since my friends can hear my game through the mic. The 3 pair of headsets that i know that has this capability are the Arctis 9, Arctic Pro Wireless amp TB Stealth 700 Gen2. I heard the TB's are not very good. I heard the Arctis Pro Wireless has been having issues with PS5 connectivity. I also don't like how big the dock is. I would like to use the headset for work as well and makes it hard to transport. The price is quite high too for a product that has been out for almost 2 years. I haven't heard anything bad about the Arctis 9's yet. I just dont like how it released in 2020 and still uses Micro USB. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!"}

{"_id": 35, "text": "HELP Horrible sound quality on Arctis 7P. Anyone else? Horrible sound quality SteelSeries Arctic 7P. Anyone else? I wanted to share my experience as I ve had tons of problems with it. Bought the black version directly from their website, as they were advertised for the PS5, and even considering the ridiculous shape of the USB C receiver (which blocks the USB A port on the PS5) I went for them. Received them, connected them and something felt off. First of all, during the first 5 10 of the volume wheel, the right speaker was noticeably louder. Then I noticed that with loud sounds, (for example, explosions in COD Warzone, or even goal celebrations in FIFA 21) the signal clipped massively, and the volume in which the console was or the headphones themselves had no effect. Furthermore, the sound was empty, very very dull. The mic was awesome though. I contacted SteelSeries, and was told to reset them to factory settings and tinker a bit with volume from the source headphones, and it sounded awful. Tried connecting them to mac, and the same thing happened. The only way they sounded decent was connecting them through cable which of course is not what I want, or I would ve bought a wired pair. The receiver was about a meter away from the headphones so it couldn t have been that. Support told me that it was probably a faulty unit. In the end they weren t able to help me, so I sent them back. They wanted me to pay for the shipping, and had to explain that I wasn t returning them because I changed my mind, but rather because they were faulty, so they agreed to reimburse the shipping cost as well as what I paid for the headphones. Still waiting for that though. Has anyone had such a bad experience with the 7Ps? I cannot bring myself to believe that such a reputable company makes headphones that produce such a poor sound. Do you think I was just unlucky or that s just the way they are? Now, of course, I m looking for a new pair, so any recommendations that are full compatible with the PS5 would be more than appreciated! Best to all, F"}

{"_id": 36, "text": "Cyber security career prospects Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia? I am a Manager level cyber security professional who has been in the industry for six years. I am considering moving my family to either Pittsburgh or greater Philadelphia area. These are the only two options I have given the factors such as relatives and my spouse's career prospects. When I say greater Philadelphia area I mean Exton, Malvern, KOP, Philly downtown, and even Wilmington with a bit of commute. Whichever city I chose to move to, I plan put my roots down, and raise kids in. I am pressured to choose Pittsburgh since I have relatives there. However, I want to be absolutely sure career wise since over the years difference in pay upwards mobility etc. will add up. If it helps I work primarily in vulnerability management (pen testing, Qualys scans, SAST DAST) etc. but have worked in other areas such as threat modeling, cyber strategy, cloud security etc. My goal is to be a CISO comparable position at a mid level firm in 10 years time. I am curious to know how these cities compare in terms of opportunities in cyber security careers? Would I be making a wise decision if I choose Pittsburgh over Philly? Although I am looking for a comparison, but if you happen to know the cyber landscape well in just one of these cities, please share your experience input advice. Thanks in advance!"}

During interviews, UPMC was all about how wages might seem low at first, but they value loyalty and she would be getting great raises year after year. And oh boy, did they deliver! With a great performance review, and glowing words from her supervisors, UPMC graced her with a 1.9 percent raise, a whole .1 percent over last years inflation! My gods, how are we going to handle this new found wealth? We can gorge on Grubhub one night per month! We can get one bus fare to Los Angeles, and then have a blast daydreaming what it could be like if we could afford to go! The possibilities are endless.

{"_id": 36, "text": "Best plastic surgeon for a boob job in PGH? So, I (25F) still feel a little weird about making this post, but I m early in my research and would like to hear personal experiences. I do not trust the copious ads that come when trying to do even the most basic research. My reasons for wanting the surgery I ve had huge boobs since a very, very young age because I was chubby. Bad parents, nothing but soda and ice cream, all of that jazz. They started sagging when I was in fourth grade my teacher even asked me to not come back to class anymore without a bra. I couldn t wear what other girls were wearing. No cute tops or bralettes, and most dresses didn t fit me proportionally speaking. My classmates would refer to me with nicknames about my chest. I hated my weight, hated my life, hated everything, and it felt like my breasts were at the epicenter of that trauma. Fast forward 10 years. I moved to PGH and went to CMU. I learned to love myself for the first time, how to dance in public, how to wear whatever I wanted and own it. I started dating seriously for the first time and to my absolute shock, I was actually pretty popular. During this time, I also lost about 40 50 lbs due to my more active lifestyle. My breasts are significantly smaller now, but still pretty big. There s sag. A lot of sag for my 20s. But I m used to that. The problem is that there s so much extra skin and my breasts have less volume. Even now that I have my ideal weight and overall life, I m still so dissatisfied with them. They WRINKLE when I bend over or they re held up (even in a bra). So, after wanting a boob job since I was 10, I have decided to finally get it done. Originally I had wanted a reduction, and now I want an augmentation (for the shape) and lift. Which surgeon in Pittsburgh do I trust? Are there any specifically to stay away from? Please tell me your stories. TLDR I dislike my breasts. They re currently a 34D, and I m fine when them staying this size. The goal is lift and shape. Where should I go in this general geographic region?"}

Captain America Iron Man Thor Black Panther She Hulk (OP Gamma Bomb) Captain Marvel Ghost Rider Blade vs. Captain America Iron Man Thor Protector Red Hulk Storm Quake Spider Woman Hawkeye Obviously the big three don't tilt the scales and Red Hulk vs. She Hulk is essentially a wash.

That got me thinking and I'd like to hear if you think this idea would work or why you think it wouldn't. Maybe something like this already exists. If it does, please let me know because I would like to spend money on it. The basic idea is right there in the title character anthologies designed for onboarding new readers. I'll try to describe the features of my ideal product in bullet point format. Line of paperbacks with a uniform format matching dress and spines and all that so they look appealing on a shelf. I'd use Marvel's Epic Collections as an example. Paperback for affordability and convenience. Only one book volume per character. Meant to be a comprehensive introduction and overview \"one stop shop.\" Instead of collecting a single arc or run, or collecting all of the character's appearances, it would only feature full story reprints from key issues across the character's publishing history. These would be things like first appearances, origins, or first issues from particularly popular or acclaimed runs. Meant more to be a \"sampling\" of different eras instead of complete storylines. These reprinted stories would be followed by something like, \"If you enjoyed this, the rest of this run includes these issues and is collected in these trade paperbacks.\" Allows new readers to \"test the water\" regarding art and writing, plus it's always fun to watch the art evolve over the decades. Besides the reprinted stories, there'd be other visual material like timelines and galleries for things like costumes and covers. Providing context for these stories and visuals would be text material like essays and interviews discussing the history and themes. Multimedia appearances in film, television, and video games would be discussed along with physical media like toys, board games, and other merchandise. amp x200B The comics audience might not be interested because they already own the reprinted stories in previous collections, but they might be interested in the new behind the scenes material like the essays and interviews. Likewise, movie fans might not care about the comics at all and only be interested in a book series like this for their MCU collection. Ideally, these books would increase the overlap between the comics and movie television audiences. That's also why I included that last bullet point about multimedia. People are discovering these characters from a wider variety of sources these days and all wondering the same thing \"Where do I even start?\""}

{"_id": 37, "text": "Does your comic book store keep issue on display in bags and boards or not? I've read graphic novels for a long time but over the past few months I've been buying new, single issue comics. I don't expect them to be perfect, but when I buy comics and books I like to keep them in the best shape possible before and after I've read them. The problem is that my local store doesn't bag and board any new issues and when I arrive to get them sometimes they're not looking too great. A lot of them are kept on those kinda slanted shelves, and on weekends when it's really busy with kids running around, lots of them are fallen over or curled up. I don't blame the staff because they keep a very large collection, and keeping things tidy in retail during peak hours is tough. However I kinda feel that if issues were bagged and boarded (even with the cheapest materials) they might hold up a bit better. Also, I like to support local, but when I order online I more often than not get nice, crisp copies in great shape. As a result it can put me off going to a brick and mortar store. Sometimes I look at YouTube videos of other stores and many seem to keep comics in bags, and I wondered, which is the most common? Does your local have single issues just freely sitting, or are they packaged? I'm unsure as to whether I'm being too particular about what I'm buying."}

{"_id": 38, "text": "Martyn Stubbs Secret NASA Transmissions Smoking Gun Martyn Stubbs Secret NASA Transmissions Smoking Gun The NASA footage in this documentary was provided by Martyn Stubbs, who worked as a satellite television manager. Stubbs stumbled upon an unencrypted NASA broadcast and noticed that there was a lot of strange activity surrounding the NASA missions that was not being shown to the public. He started recording the transmissions to VHS and went on to archive and study over 2,500 hours of intercepted raw footage. The documentary is aimed at a mature open minded viewer and does not try to spoon feed its audience an opinion. It doesn't sensationalize the material and most of the time just lets the footage speak for itself (which it does in volumes). This is possibly the best video evidence of extraterrestrial activity ever captured thanks to the enormous amount of time and effort Martyn Stubbs has invested into making it public. Some of the UFOs shown are immediately obvious such as the \"shooting stars\" often captured in the background making intelligent manoeuvres and travelling in formation. I think most viewers will grasp that shooting stars are incapable of making sharp 90 degree turns at a high velocity. It's fairly easy to establish that these objects involve highly advanced technology that we are currently incapable of. When one such craft appears near to the crew on a spacewalk an astronaut reports its presence in a concerned manner but NASA headquarters routinely tell the crew to ignore it and carry on with the operation. This indicates that they are not part of the NASA mission and even the astronauts are not at liberty to discuss their rather obvious presence. The documentary also introduces us to another phenomenon that astronauts have described as \"space critters\" or \"fireflies\" and something even more bizarre which is described here as \"phenomena three\" or the \"second space phenomena\". This documentary presents a wealth of new and groundbreaking footage which would keep any intelligent viewer interested for the duration. I am Martyn Stubbs AKA secretnasaman. These are videos that I downloaded from NASA shuttle cameras, live during the 1990s. All the UFO clips are from my NASA UFO Archives, containing all video downloaded from mission STS 48 on, where I \"discovered \" all the NASA UFO video, including the STS 75 \"Tether Incident \" footage. My discoveries of NASA UFOs, now dominates YouTube because they have has been shared, copied amp re posted, tens of thousands of times worldwide amp they have have generated mega millions of hits! THIS WAS MY GOAL. To get as many people to view this genuine, unimpeachable, unedited NASA video as possible! THANK YOU everyone, for making this happen. amp x200B I know that many know the work of Martyn Stubbs. But there are also many people who have not had the opportunity to see these NASA videos.

{"_id": 38, "text": "Stanley Kubrick on UFOs. If only more people had this mindset. from 1968 Playboy interview PLAYBOY Although flying saucers are frequently an object of public derision, there has been a good deal of serious discussion in the scientific community about the possibility that UFOs could be alien spacecraft. What's your opinion? STANLEY KUBRICK The most significant analysis of UFOs I've seen recently was written by L.M. Chassin, a French air force general who had been a high ranking NATO officer. He argues that by any legal rules of evidence, there is now sufficient sighting data amassed from reputable sources astronomers, pilots, radar operators and the like to initiate a serious and thorough worldwide investigation of UFO phenomena. Actually, if you examine even a fraction of the extant testimony you will find that people have been sent to the gas chamber on far less substantial evidence. Of course, it's possible that all the governments in the world really do take UFOs seriously and perhaps are already engaging in secret study projects to determine their origin, nature and intentions. If so, they may not be disclosing their findings for fear that the public would be alarmed the danger of cultural shock deriving from confrontation with the unknown which we discussed earlier, and which is an element of 2001, when news of the monolith's discovery on the moon is suppressed. But I think even the 2 percent of sightings that the Air Force's Project Blue Book admits is unexplainable by conventional means should dictate a serious, searching probe. From all indications, the current government authorized investigation at the University of Colorado is neither serious nor searching. One hopeful sign that this subject may at last be accorded the serious discussion it deserves, however, is the belated but exemplary conversion of Dr. J. Allen Hynek since 1948 the Air Force's consultant on UFOs and currently chairman of the astronomy department at Northwestern University. Hynek, who in his official capacity pooh poohed UFO sightings, now believes that UFOs deserve top priority attention as he wrote in Playboy December 1967 and even concedes that the existing evidence may indicate a possible connection with extraterrestrial life. He predicts \"I will be surprised if an intensive study yields nothing. To the contrary, I think that mankind may be in for the greatest adventure since dawning human intelligence turned outward to contemplate the universe.\" I agree with him."}

Imagine little green men who are associated with vibrant colours in the sky and who if caught and under pressure may grant you a 'wish' to bargain their freedom. And who in their first noted appearance in story are seen to attempt to abduct a man as he slept and drag him into the sea... I mean Leprechauns of course, but you see where I'm going with this. I'm from the UK and have always been pretty interested in folklore and myth but as I look more into UFO's and alien abductions I'm seeing strange similarities here and there, and it has me wondering if these tales were a means of describing what some of us have claimed to have seen in our modern era. Consider for example will o the wisps. Mysterious lights that lead those who follow them far away often to woods or marshland. In British lore the lights also known as 'Fairy fire' and is often held by a small 'goblin like' figure in the distance. Think of the Grindylow, a small human like creature with green skin, thin arms and long fingers, once more associated with marshland who is known to pull children into deep waters. Or how about the Spriggan. A short, withered ugly old man with a large child like head who can cast storms and strong winds, is known for stealing cattle and once more, stealing children and replacing them with their large headed infants. They were also known to protect mines and cliff tops, which are locations of interest of course. There's so much folklore to dig through, and this is only the edge of the rabbit hole. And before anyone says it yes I do understand these are more than likely cautionary tales to keep our children safe, or explain strange behaviours and phenomena, and yet something's are oddly familiar about these tales and they all hold common themes. Let me know what you guys think and feel free to add any you may know of. TLDR The UK has a history of small green and grey creatures with large heads and thin arms, often associated with mysterious lights and stealing replacing children and pulling travellers into 'deep waters'."}

Despite the POTUS spreading a different narrative, I believe citizens were smart to put on a mask. In the report gt Although most of the UAP described in our dataset probably remain unidentified due to limited data or challenges to collection processing or analysis, we may require additional scientific knowledge to successfully collect on, analyze and characterize some of them . We would group such objects in this category pending scientific advances that allowed us to better understand them. The UAPTF intends to focus additional analysis on the small number of cases where a UAP appeared to display unusual flight characteristics or signature management. The bolded part is basically saying something a famous man once said \"We would keep checking every 10 years if advances in material science have caught on to help re engineer or explain this craft\". What do you want the government to tell you? That they successfully shot the flying saucer down, got into the saucer, and found an alien? It has gone from \"There are no such things as aliens\" to \"We don't know what those UFOs are\". Soon it will be \"We're not alone\". Please remember that ANY progress is progress. If you watch this single video!, it is more than enough evidence that the universe is too big to make Earth the sole planet to have intelligent life. One more thing Be careful what you wish for. The disclosure of aliens is going to be Earth's biggest event and it's not going to come without its repercussions. We may as well be heading into a dystopian society where the entire world suddenly went through an existential crisis and lost the fear of any God that kept a lot of them grounded and honest and started wielding guns and committing crimes with them.

What he said really made sense to me, because of my own personal experiences as well as the other things that I ve read heard about regarding the phenomenon. My issue with Elizondo is the way he talks about the government . He says things like oh the US government would never harm its citizens and the US government acts in the best interest of its citizens . I know he is an ex government employee and is still probably getting paid by them. And he has handlers that basically dictate what he can and can t say. I guess what I m trying to say is as someone who is extremely skeptical about the US government, why should I trust what Elizondo says about UFOs and disclosure? I want to believe that he is working for the best interests of the American people (as he claims), but the US government works to further the interests of the rich and powerful, and not regular citizens.

If consciousness is not even in principle computable (i.e., if it is true that one consciousness, attempting to be a creator, regardless of how intelligent it may be, cannot by designing and programming, create another consciousness under any conditions i.e., doing so truly is impossible), it might motivate an advanced life form to do the next best thing by going the \"natural\" route by using directed panspermia via fungal payload delivered via Von Nuemann probes. (Fungus would serve as the robust middle ground between microbes and complex life such as plants and animals). A probe upon locating a candidate planet such as Earth could separate into multiple pieces. One or more pieces could descend to the surface spewing spores while one or more other pieces could remain in orbit, or otherwise position themselves in the local solar system. The pieces that remained in space would have sensors that would await signs of intelligent life from the target planet or moon. When a signature of intelligent life was detected, the sensor would activate a beacon. Some time later alien overlords would arrive and make further assessments and subsequently utilize and develop the newly discovered resources. And on this point, thinking of the recent news of possible fungus among us on Mars in the news, and that we have UAPs hovering above Navy warships, along with tic tacs, and an upcoming 60 Minutes episode on the topic, perhaps our own minds emerged from such a process. Hopefully we would still be useful to them beyond the work we've already done. Maybe they would at least keep us as workers."}

With that in mind, my wife and I went out shopping for our daughter's birthday and grabbed dinner after. Now, in my prime I've had my fair share of tequila and seen all kinds of shit. But after only two beers at dinner, we called it a night and when we arrived home, my wife and I walked our nanny out. After a few moments of discussion, I looked up and saw this incredibly bright light almost orange that seemed to cut across the sky as if it were just a street over from me... kind of like a firework. I tried to process what the hell it was though I stumbled because it was silent, vivid and yet it seemed to incredibly close. My initial thought was shooting star... but again this was so bright and seemed so close and it disappeared, not in a flash, but as quickly as I had noticed it. What was most odd is that it seemed to appear suddenly and as soon as I saw it it essentially vanished. By the time I yelled \"what the fuck was that\" my wife and the nanny both looked and saw nothing. So I'll ask you what the fuck did I just witness?!"}
{"_id": 38, "text": "I Believe I Cracked The Big Secret. I remember a discussion of Luis Elizondo's comments re \"What if we could experience more of the past and future...\" likening Time to a cigarette, where the \"amber is the present, ash the past and what's still to burn the future...\" Well I hypothesize that Dark Energy Matter that Frothy Field Of Energy Unseen Reality Quantum Physics says is all around us and makes up 70 90 of our reality or something along those lines. Hal Puthoff hypothesizes you can tap into this field for Zero Point. Well doing this would lead to Faster Than Light (FTL) travel, which would lead to Time Travel, which would mean we would be experiencing the dimension of time in a non linear fashion (or at the very least altering the dimension). This discovery would lead to the discovery of other dimensions, as Time is considered a Dimension that controls our reality, and we would be changing the fabric of our experience of that dimension! Thus 'entering' (or EXPERIENCING) another dimension. Experiencing \"more of the amber of the cigarette\" could mean making other dimensions which overlap with ours, visible..and this could mean the possibility of migrating to that experiential state (if you cant accept the idea of 'migrating to other dimensions'). So I go further to hypothesize the probability of us finding other habited planets by civs now becomes even smaller, as civs who become adv enough to leave a galactic footprint, would discover Zero Point and thus other more stable Dimensions, migrating there and no longer living physical galactic footprints we could detect. I'm no scientist but I feel this has a big part to do with the cover up. Would love a discussion! That UFO Podcast w Lu Lu On Fox, Comments After Ratcliffe Big Think Holographic Theory The Secrets Of Hal Puthoff Edit if you think of the UAP we see, they seem to have the ability to enter and exit this reality, if we had Zero Point, we would have that ability entering whatever lies between 2 points in the universe which are traveled at FTL speed travel (via a wormhole or what have you)..finding whatever is that back alley route from here to Zeta Reticuli another dimension, zero point, and its probably great there.

We aren t even at the end of the beginning. It seems this is going to be a really slow process I know that causes frustrations with communities like this who are impatient to hear the truth be vindicated. I know I m ready to hear it all. Sure, I get that it will take longer for the general populace to learn and accept the new reality (whatever that is). But this is sounding like a decade plus kind of disclosure. Which implies there is nothing imminent in terms of threat, and people know more than they are saying so far. Ok, so my question What could be so disturbing hard to comprehend about these UAP s that will take an entire decade or more for humanity to wrap their heads around?"}

I only told a few people before now, and got the kind of reaction you would expect. I'm hoping public opinion changes after disclosure, which is why I'm sharing now. I also feel a duty to speak up about the possible militarization of the Space Force. The public's only source of information will be from the pentagon, who will label it a potential threat (because when you are a hammer, everything looks like nail). I'm worried it will lead to mass hysteria and a fear of the unknown. I created a petition to make it easy to engage in this topic with anyone in our live. From skeptics to believers, and politics across the aisle, we can all find common ground in the issue of transparency. I have seen a UFO and was not afraid. I have also seen my countries military industrial complex and am terrified of what weapons they will waste our tax dollars creating.

{"_id": 38, "text": "Hear me out... NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE! Ok, let's look through all we know. UAP has tech that is one hundred, if not, one thousand years ahead of where we are now. We know this because of their ability to travel and stop at high speeds instantly, as well as not let out any fuel emissions. We also know that according to U.S. Government, it's REAL, and it's NOT US. We can also infer that it is not China because they are also looking into the UAP phenomena. Why look into it if you are causing it? So that leaves the cause to be another world superpower like Russia, Aliens, Extra Dimensional Beings (?), U.S. is lying about it not being us, or it could ALL be a lie to get more funding. BUT NONE OF THOSE OPTIONS MAKE SENSE! OK, Russia another world power. Can't be another world power because we know that the UAP leapfrogs our tech. We have been so close to other countries forever, it just doesn't make sense for them to suddenly go crazy with technical advancements to THAT DEGREE (100 1000 years ahead). Aliens Extra Dimensional Beings. Somehow (in the crazy world we live in), Aliens are the more likely situation. However, they aren't. After hypothetical hundreds of years of hiding, they suddenly start to slip up. If they do not want to be seen then why are they doing so bad at hiding. Let's pretend they want to be seen. Why? It makes the most sense to observe from afar, but they are failing at that. And by alerting us to their presence they are putting themselves at risk. These actions don't feel like they fit the M.O. of the advanced UAP we have heard of. But I already hear you saying, \"Oh well ACHULLEY. they are slipping up on purpose so that we get ready for DISCLOSURE.\" What? Why? Why disclose anything. There's no need for us to know. If we know they FOR SURE exist then it would mean abductions exist. Disclosure would make the average person HATE aliens. So for me, Aliens are out of the picture. The U.S. is lying about it being them. REALLY plausible. Only, if they are lying then why stop. Why even start to let us THINK that the UAP videos are real. They could just keep lying and we would never know. \"People were starting to get on their case!\" Don't be dense, the government doesn't care how much we push. Could ALL be a lie to get more funding? This is starting to make the most sense to me. However still not enough sense. The UFO UAP phenomena has been going on for decades. Other countries have been getting involved. For this all to be a ploy for JUST the U.S., the whole world would have to be on our side. That obviously doesn't add up. So am I simplifying things? Am I forgetting a possibility? All I am saying is, based on what we know and what we can infer about the hypothetical Aliens, NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE!"}

You are free to accept or reject their teachings, but only those who learn to live in peace will pass to the higher realms of spiritual evolution. Hear now the voice of Vrillon, a representative of the Ashtar Galactic Command, speaking to you. Be aware also that there are many false prophets and guides operating in your world.

The entire \"bombshell\" article is based entirely on anonymous government officials the paper says it is in contact with. The Times has not seen the report. They don't know what's in it. They don't even know if it will be released to the public. Glenn Greenwald makes some great points over on his Substack blog that major outlets, including the Times, have published stories based upon these kinds of sources that have later been proven false \"The saga began on June 26, 2020, when The New York Times announced that unnamed American intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan including targeting American troops. The paper called it a significant and provocative escalation by Russia. Though no evidence was ever presented to support the CIA's claims neither in that original story nor in any reporting since most U.S. media outlets blindly believed it and spent weeks if not longer treating it as proven, highly significant truth ... All they had was an anonymous leak from intelligence officials which The New York Times on Thursday admitted came from the CIA but that was all they needed ... Let's express this as clearly as it can be expressed. Any journalist who treats unverified stories from the CIA or other government agencies as true, without needing any evidence or applying any skepticism, is worthless. Actually, they are worse than worthless they are toxic influences who deserve pure contempt.

Zec 5 2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. A cubit is about the size of an adult s elbow to wrist or 18 inches. By the sizes it seems to be in the shape of a flying saucer. The next verse says that it will enter in the house of the thief and then swear falsely by God's name, some people go as far to say this represents house America.

The second one is described as an ephah which seems to be a basket or a measurement (look up a picture it looks like a UFO!) it says This is their resemblance through all the earth. which people claims this explains the sightings seen all over the world It seems like it is then describing a metal door opening upwards and a woman sitting in the center of it (zec 5 7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.) He calls it wicked and two woman came out and the way they re described is exactly what we think of when we hear Angel (Zec 5 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.)

{"_id": 39, "text": "A cautionary tale you will flip your kayak I spent the first part of my long weekend out at the beach town where I do a lot of kayak fishing. I spent more time fishing this area, last summer, than I spent at home. I'm not unfamiliar with the waters. This spot has a jetty that has a lot of great fishing. After a morning of fishing the IntraCoastal Waterway, the app on my phone (Nautide) said to expect 2ft swells on the ocean side. I paddled out, did a bit of fishing along the jetty, caught nothing, but it was uneventful. And then the tide changed. And the wind changed. What started as 2ft swells quickly turned into 5ft. I swear this happened in about 10 minutes. I noped the fuck out as fast as I could. I was most of the way back to the beach where I launched when a fairly large fishing boat (think off shore fishing charters) hauled past me. Fast. The wake, combined with the already nasty seas, quickly flipped my boat. Fortunately, I've done a bunch of flip rescue practice in the freshwater lake that I frequently fish. \"I've got this,\" I thought. That lake is never nasty. I wasn't prepared for trying to right my kayak and get back onto it in those conditions. I figure I spent about 10, maybe 15 minutes trying to right my kayak. Honestly, it could have been a week with the way that it felt. I failed miserably to get my kayak righted. Before I continue... I never hit any water without my PFD properly fitted and attached. The PFD has flares, a whistle, a mirror, and (in saltwater) a marine radio. As I reached for my radio to hit the red distress button, some good Samaritans pulled up. It took some work, but they got me up and into their boat. We left my month old kayak in the water. Almost immediately, the US Coast Guard was on us. I gave them a description of the boat. The good Samaritans were informed by USCG to drop me off at the dock at their station just around the corner. The medical check was uninteresting except for the high pulse and high blood pressure. Given the circumstances, I wasn't surprised. I was shaking and out of breath for a while. Before long, the USCG vessel out in the inlet radioed in. They had my boat and everything that was attached to it. I lost a bunch of soft plastics, a Plano box full of jig heads, a bunch of gatorade, and not much else. I leash the important stuff down. So... what did I learn? And why am I posting this? I'm hoping someone can learn from my experience. 1. PFD. Always. I'm a strong swimmer. This didn't matter, today. 2. You will flip your kayak. I don't care how experienced you are. 3. When you flip, it will be nothing like what you practiced. Still... practice. 4. Whatever isn't leashed (clipped, not just bungied in) will float away. 5. Leashes will get in the way. Have a blunt rescue knife so you can cut your gear free if the cords bungies are in the way. 6. Conditions can change pretty fast. Knowing what to look for is beneficial. This is where I need to learn a LOT more. 7. Kayaks, fishing rods, etc... it's just stuff. If I had to lose it all to not drown, I'd have done it in a heartbeat. It still would've sucked, though. 8. Boaters won't see you. If they do, they won't slow down. We're the bicyclists of the water. I'm happy to answer questions or just chat about this. Mostly...

The kayaks that we had we're very basic and very cheap, but they worked wonderfully. They were made of plastic (not fiberglass), had no ridges for reinforcements and hardly anything resembling a seat. They were lightweight, but more importantly, cheap.

I'm trying to get back in to kayaking now and I can't find anything like those. Have they completely disappeared, and if so, what was the reason?

We take so much pride in knowing the rules and being courteous whether we are pedestrians, running or biking, or paddling on the water. But what followed was an endless barrage of obscenities, threats, an insane amount of slurs, and crazy insults by teams that truly believed they owned the Charles River. Coaches in motorboats that would drive straight on at us, swerving at the last second to scare us off the river, etc. So I wanted to reach out to this community and ask for advice about the rules of the river and the best way to avoid harsh interactions with practicing teams who believe you shouldn t be anywhere on THEIR river until they pass.

I came up with a few options but the perception high life and the vibe cubera got my attention.

Biggest complaint here is where to stash an anchor, but it's not hard to add a crate or something. amp x200B For me, the perception came out as the winner. Here's why Price. The vibe with seat costs 400 more. Without it's still 100 more. The perception msrp is 799 with seat included. Availability. The vibe is on backorder and the seats even more so, so no boat til later april and even may if you want a seat. A local deal would change this but I'm in Colorado and there just aren't many vibe dealers where I live. I don't know when I'm hitting the coast so picking one up when I go that way isn't a great option. Fam Friendly. I wanted something my wife can use. The vibe rolls in at 78lbs with seat. The perception is 55lbs. I'm confident that she can drag a 55lb boat to the water. The back! The perception has a clever set of entry handles to let you easily pull up out of the water. For my snorkel plans, this is looking like my favorite feature. (I guess i could add some handles to other boats) I... don't understand vibe's pricing here.

And I'm getting kinda sick of it. Last time I had it I figured that was because I toyed with JoyCon drivers and the likes but this time I did nothing of the sort. Last time the only fix I found was to reinstall Windows but that just won't cut it. I take enough care in defragmenting and clearing up space that I don't need to reinstall a fresh Windows every 6 months or even less (cause that will pop up randomly afaik). I've tried EVERY solution from the internet, for old versions of Windows or actually meant for Win10. So yeah I don't want to reinstall it. I've tried everything in terms of DISM, SFC, unregistering, registering again, registering all dlls, removing the msisip.dll (which required changing the owner of the file in Win10...) and then restoring it thanks to SFC, using the Install Uninstall troubleshooter (which found some broken registry stuff but that didn't help, and I guess said broken stuff came from one of the official solution that made you create a .reg file). The weirdest part is that it works perfectly through the command line version in silent mode. So I know the message is bogus, the the service was actually inaccessible the silent version would fail too since it needs the service afaik. What can I do to troubleshoot that issue, is there any log I could look at to determine what is blocking it, to find the root or whatever ? If Microsoft at least made it an option to \"Repair Install\" but now the equivalent doesn't keep user acquired applications, so I don't really want to spend a full day reinstalling all my casual and professional software (which is a LOT, as an aspiring solo gamedev there's audio stuff, music, graphics 2D and 3D of different types, Unity and so on) every time the problem decides to pop up.

I came here today to ask for the help of any of you guys out there because I have had some strange activity with my accounts lately and my internet as a whole. The first red flag was my COD account. I booted up Warzone one day to play with the boys, but it told me to sign into my COD account to continue playing, for whatever reason. I didn't think much of it and just signed in. Next thing you know, all my progress is lost, including a 20 skin I paid for. The game treated me as a brand new player despite playing this game for the past year. I, of course, sent my complaint to Activision to get my old account back, but they have yet to respond. The second red flag was the complete termination of my Instagram account. This one really spooked me. I only use Instagram to chat with friends more than I do posting and following other people, so it didn't bother me that much that it got terminated. I created a new one, and not to exaggerate at all, the moment I log into this brand new account, it quickly logged me out, saying I was doing \"suspicious activity.\" I created a new one again, and it didn't terminate me this time. At this point, I'm spooked. I know nothing of cybersecurity, truth be told, and I'm pretty stupid when it comes to technology as a whole. So to be safe, I installed a reliable VPN. Things have been going well ever since I installed it. I also changed all of my passwords into something much stronger, kept them written down to never forget it, and altered my security on some of my accounts (such as setting up two step verifications). But today, my PSN account locked me out, telling me to change my password. That was my third red flag. At this point, I'm convinced someone out there is screwing around with my things. Is this a series of unfortunate events, or is my cybersecurity at serious risk here? Any reply helps. Thanks for reading."}

They want a one time fee instead of a recurring payment. We are struggling with 1. Installing multiple licenses using one account. 2. Account getting locked while trying to install licenses. 3. Products going into activation errors requiring new licenses because of account getting locked license invalidated caused by anything from users checking personal business Office 365 accounts to having to reinstall Office 2016. 4.

My goal is to move all of my data on my old 512GB M.2 drive to the new one, then use it as a boot drive program storage. My original plan was to transfer the data via an M.2 enclosure, but I made the silly mistake of getting a SATA M.2 enclosure, which was incompatible with my NVME drives, and the transfer wound up getting botched when I used an external Samsung SSD to try to copy over the clone. Ultimately I decided to just pop my old drive back in and install the new one via a PCIE adapter (expanding my B450 Tomahawk mobo's M.2 capacity from 1 to 3, even though I've only got 2 right now). At this stage, this is already working much better my new drive is set up in GPT mode, and now I just need to figure out how to copy over the data correctly. So, uh... any tips on how I might go about that?

The parts in question are my GEFORCE 2080 SUPER, 3800x AMD cpu, and ASUS PRIME X570 PRO, which this issue only began after installing the CPU and MOBO. Let's get the actual error message out of the way The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. amp x200B If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. amp x200B The following information was included with the event amp x200B Device Video3 0d20(31f0) 00000000 00000000 If you look at the old threads about similar issues happening infrequently, this specific section has a different error code. This code is the same every time my graphics fail and recover. Put simply, anywhere from as little as 20 minutes to as much as over an hour of use on my computer, my graphics driver will fail and recover suddenly. The entire computer doesn't restart, but the display will, crashing any game or application the computer is focused on. With some things it happens faster than others, though. For example, I play games, mostly. If I play Call of Duty Cold War, it can take over an hour to see a crash. If I play Escape from Tarkov, it can be under 30 minutes. Running Furmark and other testing programs have revealed nothing. I've tried adding the TdrDelay, no success. I've ensured BIOS is up to date, no change. I'm assuming the issue is incompatibility between the graphics card and CPU, but I'm not sure as my error code does differ from the old thread(s). I am hoping I don't need to swap the graphics card, but I'll do what I have to do to fix this. My computer is unusable for longer than 20 minutes and I can't roll with that. I apologize if this is a bad post, I work a LOT and don't really have time to make this cohesive at the immediate moment. If I need to provide more information, please let me know."}
{"_id": 40, "text": "Hard Drive Problems (Long, but would like advice suggestions) Okay, here's the setup. It's a bit long, but I'm being clear. I have a desktop machine, home build, that I've been using for several years now. It has three hard drives the SSD windows 7 was installed on a few years ago (and updated to 10), a 1 TB HDD that's about 15 years old that came out of my old PC and used to be a Primary drive, and a recently installed brand new 3 TB HDD because I needed space. Computer is used for both work (I'm an author) and gaming. All are SATA. Recently I started having freeze issues, often when loading a game (not the menu of the game, but a level or save state). Computer would crash, I'd hit reset, move on. However, one day it crashed while I was working and wouldn't boot. It ended up being two problems. Problem 1 was that the CPU's thermal paste had dried up. So it would come under a lot of heat and bang, failsafes took over. I cleaned all the old paste up, installed new paste, cleaned out any dust, checked the fans (and even used a voltmeter on the power supply to make sure it was fine). Once the system came back up I did a full run of checks on RAM, GPU, Processor, etc. All came back clean. What didn't was Problem 2 That 1 TB HDD was failing. Bad sectors. Windows was able to \"fix\" it, but it will continue to get worse. I thought this was unfortunate but not unexpected, and ordered a new 1 TB SSD (which I can still cancel as it hasn't shipped, and that will be important shortly). Being the cautious user that I am, I did some research before simply yanking the drive (all my stuff is backed up, no worries), and discovered that unfortunately, Drive D (the 1 TB) is set as active and appears to have windows boot files on it. It also is serving as a virtual page file (likely what has been causing some of those crashes on game loads, as according to my research when Sata encounters a bad sector it can really panic). So, here's my conundrum. I do not have access to a Windows 10 install disk, so simply reinstalling Windows 10 on C isn't an option without buying it (the SSD replacement was cheaper). Like many people, money is extremely tight right now and my PC is my income source. So my question is what is the best path forward? Can I use Disk Management to set C as the active drive, declare D inactive, and not be at risk of borking my boot and windows? Is Windows smart enough to do this? Or, since windows has \"fixed\" Drive D and is ignoring bad sectors, should I simply cancel the new drive order and continue to run now that the crashes should be fixed until a new bad sector comes along, and try to hold out a little longer? There have been no crashes since I repaired the drive, windows says it's all fine now, but I also haven't been using anything heavy, and have moved things that were on the drive I accessed regularly, such as music and podcasts, to the 3 TB F drive. Should I deactivate the page file? Put the page file on the 3 TB F? Thank you for your suggestions."}

I've been having my internet connectivity drop every few hours or so recently, but no major software changes so that's pretty much ruled out, short of something that updated by itself. And error code that came up when I ran the troubleshooter was \"the connection between your access point router or cable modem and the internet is broken\", which I gather to be a fairly common issue. The problem being that I can't really tell if the other users that are sharing the same wifi system as I are having similar connection issues. amp x200B Solution wise, I've tried the full ipconfig reset and dns flush, everything. I've disabled and reconnected, which seems to help the problem for a bit before it inevitably comes back, I've uninstalled the wifi drivers and reinstalled them, which didn't seem to solve the problem at all. I'm thinking it might be a faulty wifi card in my (admittedly pretty old) laptop, a hp zbook g2. Is there any way for me to guarantee this before I go out and get a newer card to replace it?

{"_id": 40, "text": "Had decent amount of storage and now suddenly have barely enough for pc to function. A couple weeks ago, I had reinstall a game (The game is War Thunder for those wondering) due to a Steam issue and had over 15 gigabytes on an SSD left for Windows 10. After I uninstalled a 34 gigabyte game to reinstall it I barely got any extra space for some reason but still managed to reinstall the game. After the game was reinstalled, I now barely have any space left (Around 1 2 gigabytes) which is quite weird since I had around 15 20 gigabytes left when the game was installed before that. Another thing is that my storage sometimes depletes all the way down to 0 bytes for seemingly no reason which is quite a problem since I can't even play any game without it crashing due to low storage space. I can't free up anymore space either since I already deleted everything I didn't need and did a bunch of disk cleaning, which didn't seem to help all that much. One thing I found particularly odd is that when my game crashed and I get the option to close and restart, My game opens with completely different graphical and sound settings almost like I have 2 of the same games installed somehow. I can't seem to find the supposed copy either. Is it possible that I have an extra copy somehow installed? If so where could I find it and delete it?l If that isn't the case, how could it make sense that I had a lot more storage before I had to uninstall the game and came back with barely enough storage to do anything after reinstalling? It would be really appreciated if I could find a way to fix this issue. Thanks."}

I got an FX 8120, GTX 960 and a MSI 760GMA P34 FX series motherboard. Not the best but hey it will run the chip even if kinda hot (which is fine I have an old but good HAF X case from 2013 lol) Thing is my other friend built a Ryzen 7 build and ended up going with a water block so he gave me his Ryzen 7's Wraith Prism Cooler that mounts with the little latch system thing. Now I COULD be wrong about this, but it looks like it fits, but does this heat sink work on an FX board? I would be using the RGB stock cooler from Ryzen 7 and 9 CPU's on an FX 8120.

It seems hard to find one that is priced well, hasn't been through a bunch of owners, and hasn't sustained some kind of accident. Should I accept two of the three criteria here, and pay nearly new MSRP for a late model example, buy one that is out of warranty and has been through more owners, or wait for the new one to come out this fall and stretch my budget? Alternative considerations would be to buy a GTI, new or used late model, and just accept that there's a performance level just out of reach even if modded, or stay patient and hope to find a similarly priced Lexus ISF or GSF, which I would really like, but again, finding one affordable and single owner is a longshot. I have also looked at Mustang GT's, but don't really see myself as a Ford driver, especially that car, but for the power, sound and daily driver comfort, I think it would meet the occasion. Background on me and my automotive history to help with your suggestions...I'm in my mid forties, live in Colorado, don't have kids, will keep my Tacoma for deep snow, bad weather and road trips. I've owned most of the low power sporty cars...Miata, FR S, GTI, Civic. I drive manuals, but if it's a motorsport inspired auto, would give that a go, and then my girlfriend could drive it. I test drove a Focus RS, and didn't like the seating position or rattle trap interior (the example I drove had 40K hard miles, apparently) and also a Porsche Macan, which I did really enjoy, but question the ownership costs and image association...though wouldn't rule out a 911 or Cayman either, if I thought I could afford it.

M3 subframe, 1m wide body for bigger rubber, LSD, coil overs, upgraded fuel and turbos. 2. E92 M3 with a supercharger. Plus some leftover money for tires, wear items and maintenance.

I like big horsepower cars and though fantastic on the track it s just not for me. Budget is about 35 40k (I could finance a Supra but am averse to financing cars), as my 135 is low mileage and mint I am guessing I could sell it for 15k easily.

This is a big one because I've always owned manual cars. Unfortunately it doesn't seem obtainable to continue this trend with how AWD cars are built in the US. Questionable reliability.

What other cars should I consider? Get an additional family hauler with 3rd row? Or get a smaller 2 row that s more fun to drive, but can haul bikes and so fun day trips when it s just me and a few kids? I like the idea of the Highlander especially the hybrid, but it looks kind of strange to me. Also 3rd row seems right. I thought a Passport might be better on road, but the lack of 3rd row will make me choose the sienna again for family trips. Or do I do a total reset and seek a 3 row 4Runner? I doubt I d get the good deal I got last time. Or maybe wait until the 2023 version comes out? I m not unhappy driving now, and knew my varied use cases could not me met by one car, but I feel very inefficient and feel like the gas could be greener.

The last segment of the story happens after an apocalyptic event and the narrator appears to be a lizard. The last part is written in very simple English, and the narrator is angry with a nearby lizard because that lizard has a bigger rock to hide under and escape the heat of the sun. EDIT FOUND IT ! The story is not Asimov. It is Ahead of the Joneses by Al Sarrantonio . It was first published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in 1979. That's why I kept thinking Asimov wrote it. (Sorry about that.) Thank you all for looking for the story, and I hope you enjoy it."}

The siblings are one girl, one boy, and at least one more sibling whose gender I can't remember. The siblings and the main character are all in high school. The siblings are wealthy, popular, and charismatic, and there's a rumor around town that they are witches. The main character gets herself accepted in the fold, becoming bffs with the sister and flirting with the brother, but there's tension, and in the climactic scene, one of the siblings is hurt in an incident on the beach caused by the main character because it turns out she is actually a witch, while they are not. The books ends and they shun here but are scared of her."}

She is poor in the world of the living, and is at some point attacked by a ghost, I believe? The ghost makes her feel cold to the bone, excruciatingly frozen. And then she goes to the world of the dead. I think she is there maybe two times, possibly once as a ghost and once while being alive... I remember that she is not actually dead one of the times, because I remember she has to find some food and manages to come across some apples but the dead people don't need to eat, so it's a bit difficult. Otherwise I'm lost as to which book it is. Does it ring a bell for any of you?"}

{"_id": 42, "text": "Mom died amp new stepmom is mysterious Fiction, paperback. Probably about the length of the Giver? (200 pages or more). I read it in a day or two. Read sometime around 2005 (when I was in middle school), but probably wasn t a brand new book. The main character is a teenage girl, but the plot is mostly driven by what is going on in her stepmom s life. The main character s mom dies (I think of cancer something where death was expected, but idk). The dad starts dating another woman less than a year after the mom dies and marries her shortly after. The tension between the stepmom and the girl is because of how soon she started dating the dad and she is really quiet. She doesn t really bond with the stepdaughter or fight with her. She s pretty bland to the daughter at first. Soon after they get married someone in the stepmoms family dies on the other side of the country and leaves a house to the step mom so the family moves to it. Stepmom is not happy about this whole ordeal and just wants to sell it, but her new husband talks her into moving because he thinks a fresh start will be good. The stepmom has natural blond platinum hair so it sticks out a lot when they go out. When they move to her hometown she mentions she hasn t been there since she was young and she dyed her hair dark brown pretty much as soon as they get there without mentioning it to anyone. The stepmom makes a point that she doesn t want anyone to recognize her and she avoids going out and wears glasses, etc when she does. The main character starts to become suspicious of the stepmom for something, but I m not sure what. Maybe murdering her parents? I m pretty sure the stepmom s parents died when she was young. There are also several things that happen that make the stepmom look suspicious. This is the part that makes me want to reread the book so bad because I can t remember what the stepmom s scandal was. I m pretty sure the denouement of the book is that she finds out her stepmom is a good lady and didn t do whatever she was suspicious about. I also vaguely feel like someone tried to hurt them to hide the secret, but I m not sure about that either."}

(2) At one instance (near the beginning of the book), she's in the woods trying to get to the hero's place (for work research purposes?) and gets bombarded with noise. The hero (who lives with like 6 other men in this historic mansion) goes into the woods since there's signs of a security breach. Long story short, he finds her, she realises his presence blocks out the noises, and I'm pretty sure there are other intruders (bad guys lol) who the hero (or one of the other men?) has to take down. Sorry if that's a cluster fuck of words. (3) There's another whole fantasy element too. I'm pretty sure the hero, along with all the other guys, are ancient warriors of a sort that I do not remember. (4) The hero goes through some sort of torture every night as a punishment (?) for something that was done a while ago.

(she comes back to life ofc, but all the emotions the hero felt when he thought she died was so soo satisfying (I'm a sick bitch ik)).

About the Plot This kid gets knocked out and wakes up on an island on a medical bed. He gets out of bed and walks out of the room where he gets caught by a guard or a scientist. He is taken to a courtyard where he meets 2 or 3 other children (I believe it was 3 but I can only remember details about 2 of them). 2 of the children are boys, and one of them is really good at basketball. The other one has an excellent memory and can glance at maps and memorize them. The other character I believe is a girl but I don't remember much about her.

So they sneak out at night and navigate through the woods using the kid who has a good memory to guide them, and they stumble across a tree stump with a maze carved into it. The kid with the memory memorizes it quickly before continuing to guide them. They get to the beach where they find a rowboat and set sail into the storm. About an hour into their voyage, the girl or the kid with the memory starts to get sick. The person that got sick passes out and they all start to panic. A rescue boat sent from the island comes out of the fog and rescues them. They get lectured by the head scientist guy and the person who passed out gets their treatment. They come back to the island and go to bed. Jumping ahead in the story a bit, they figure out that there is something important inside a mountain volcano on the island. The head scientist tells them that they have tried exploring the mountain volcano before but anyone who goes in either dies or goes quiet. Fast forward a bit and the kids are rock climbing up the mountain and when they get to the top, there's some kind of beast that the basketball kid tries to fight off. The kid ends up falling into a hole in the mountain volcano and dies. A few pages later they are down at the bottom and they figure out that there is actually a maze inside of the mountain volcano, and they go inside of it through some cliffside entrance.

I'm Australian and I found it in an op shop (thrift store), so it might be an Australian book. if not, it's probably American. to be clear this book sucked and I don't want to reread it, just tell my friends about it. it was sleazy and misogynistic, and the main character was a real loser. the pseudo incest was very disturbing.

I don't remember anybody's name. I remember the story was very self aware and didn't take itself too seriously. It reminds me of a self aware fanfic. I remember at one point the mean orphanage lady literally signed a paper saying that she would be the villain of the story. Going back to the MC, she doesn't like it at the orphanage and I believe she was abandoned or given up by her mother. I think the other kids were mean to her as well. One night I think she was sneaking around and there was a gauntlet in the mean lady's office and attaches itself to the MC's arm. She can't get it off. The mean lady finds her and then she does the paper signing and tries to slice the MC's arm off, I think it was with a sword. The MC escapes find a map somewhere and go on a wacky adventure.

I can t remember the actual plot of the book. There s a guy called the Gent, and there s another girl who likes him and a line goes she s sweet on the Gent. And then they get married. The main character meets a runaway or freed slave man, and he does not have a last name. And one day she goes I have a present for you and she holds out her hands as fists. She opens the first fist and it s empty. She says free. Opens the second fist, also empty, says man. So the present is a last name for him, Freeman. Since he was a slave and now he s a Freeman. He also says something about, after he made it into the north (made it to freedom) he looked down at his hands to see if they looked any different now that he was a free man, but he was still the same man. Times are really tough and I feel like these people are all living in some sort of like community out in the woods in like tents or make shift shelters or something because they re all so poor and just trying to stay alive. The girl is young enough to still be living with her family. There s other people living in the community, like the Gent and the girl he marries I mentioned earlier.

The both have completely different writing styles, the girl writes historical romance and the boy writes straight edgy action. As the story progresses they start to take out their frustration on one another, killing each other's characters, undermining one another's stories and trying to drag the story in the direction they want it to go in. Then their parents get together and that's a whole thing (theres a very cringe scene in a restaurant with their parents feeding one another). It's revealed at some point that the boy was with the girl's best friend and the girl believes he cheated on her but it was just some dumb misunderstanding like she saw him hugging his female cousin. It all ends with a big blow up at a reading for the class project. The main thing was that the book was cowritten in the same way the internal story was, with authors sending the story back and forth without knowing where the other would take it.

This is what im working with 2014 Samsung UHD 4k tv Xbox series S A40 TR Pro w mixamp HDMI audio extractor w spdif supports 4k and 5.1CH Here are the steps I took to diagnose the issue 1. Updated xbox series s 2. Updated Astro mix amp to latest firmware 3. Updated tv to samsungs latest firmware update 4. Restarted all devices one by one by unplugging them, draining the power, and waiting 1 minute to power back on. 5. Restarted all devices at the same time and waited 2 minutes to turn everything back on. 6. Purchased a duster buster and cleared all ports on every device. 7. Replaced the 3.5\" cord going from the headset to the mixamp with a new cord ordered from amazon. 8. Replaced the micro usb going from the mixamp to the xbox. 9. Plugged the mixamps micro usb cord into a surge protector rather than the xbox. 10. Purchased a new audio extractor 11. Replaced the HDMI cord going from the samsung tv to the audio extractor 12. Replaced the hdmi cord going from the audio extractor to the xbox 13. Replaced the spdif cord going from the mixamp to the audio extractor. 14. Removed the audio extractor all together and plugged the hdmi from the tv to the xbox and the spdif cord from the mixamp to the tv. 15. Power cycled all equipment again to see if it stopped popping no luck . 16. Selected each individual setting on mixamp and tested with rocket league and call of duty. Popping continued. 17. Connected mix amp to windows 10 PC and tinkered with the EQ settings. Nothing fixed the popping. 18. Reset mixamp settings to default and plugged back into xbox. 19. Switched to PC mode on the mixamp nothing happened 20. On the xbox, in general amp audio output, I switched hdmi audio to stereo uncompressed and left the mixamp set to dolby no changes . 21. On the xbox, I switched hdmi audio to the other settings(it just said something was wrong and to try again with a different setting). 22. On the xbox, in general amp audio output, I Changed headset audio headset format to stereo uncompressed no changes . 23. On the xbox, I switched the stereo uncompressed to dolby atmos no changes . 24. On the xbox, in the dolby app, I tinkered with the settings and tried each setting no changes . 25. I replaced all of the cords AGAIN with new cords(including the 3.5\" aux cord going from the headset to the mixamp) no changes . 26. I played music at different levels to see if the popping would subside. Louder music made it pop even more. 27. I touched the back of the mixamp while I was leaning on the metal frame of my table(trying to unplug it) and when my finger touched an empty port, I received a rather large static discharge. THE POPPING DISAPPEARED. For only a minute though. 28. I plugged a cable into the port that shocked me and touched the other end of it. I was shocked multiple times. Each time I was shocked, the popping went away. 29. I plugged the mix amp into a new surge protector no changes 30. I tried 4 different 5w ac adapters no changes 31. I rubbed dryer sheets on all of my equipment to reduce the static electricity(no changes) 32. I changed the temperature in my room(LG portable AC) and measured the humidity(54 ). 33. Checked to see if static went away no changes Conclusion Must be the end users fault. s Figure out how to fix this electrical issue or give me my 250 back."}

{"_id": 43, "text": "Astro A50 with XBOX Series X and Optical out from TV Hey, I just got a new A50 Gen4 and want to try the different connection methods. First I updated base and Headset to the newest firmware. A. I connect the base only with a USB cable to the console and I set the XBOXs Headset Output to Dolby Atmos, Launch the Atmos App and do basically everything that Astro tells me to do in the Setup Guides. This option works pretty good and I like the sound. B. Since I read a lot about how the sound is better when it comes via optical cable, I connected the base via USB to the console and via optical cable to my TV. I hear a drastic change in sound. In this mode I activate the Dolby Button on the Astro. In the xbox settings, I set the Headset audio to uncompressed stereo and the HDMI audio to Bitsteam, Dolby Digital. I tried the standard EQ settings and played a little bit with the command center but Im not getting sound that I like. My questions now 1. Are the Setups correct or do I have to change any settings? 2. In Setup A Does the Base station do anything (except the transmission) or would the result be the same if I just plug Headphones into the controller? 3. Option A is richer in sound while B feels more like standing in a giant hall. I tried COD BOCW and Forza Horizon 4. In both games I feel like with option A I can tell where the sound is coming from much easier. Has anyone compared the Setups as I did and would confirm that?

The foot step sound can even completely negated by simply not walking at full speed, hold CTRL (PC) or don't fully push your pad (Controler) It also has a terrible camo index, enemies are able to see you ridiculously far away.

{"_id": 44, "text": "MGSV makes Venom turn into the villain that he is in MG1 purely through game mechanics. Bare with me, I interpreter it like this. 1. Player begins playing the game, the Player wants to build up Diamond Dogs, so they proceed to non lethaly take down all soldiers and begin to extract them. 2. Player continues to do this, eventually they get the upgraded intel glasses and better non lethals, the Player during this period basically never kills anyone because they notice that they receive negative Heroism. 3. Player gets introduced to FOB's, allowing them to get many elite soldiers without the need to fulton extract them. 4. Player attempts to non lethally invade FOB's, which works sometimes but it becomes apparent that killing the guards becomes easier. 5. Player begins investing into lethal weaponry and proceeds to use them on both the FOB's and in the singleplayer. 6. Player eventually comes to terms with it that it's easer to kill every guard instead of non lethally taking them down, making them surrender and fulton extract them. 7. Player notices that lethal weaponry have tons of customization that involves developing other lethal weaponry. 8. Eventually the player develops all lethal weaponry to min max customization of guns, and the overwhelming amount of the players arsenal is deadly. 9. The player decides to make a Nuke, be it out of fear of retaliation due to FOB raids or any other reason, thus becoming Demon Snake, if they weren't already before.

{"_id": 44, "text": "A somewhat serious bug oversight in The Phantom Pain that I haven't seen anybody discuss. Games as massive as The Phantom Pain are bound to have errors. The Diamond Dogs logo at OKB Zero, one of the later tapes unlocking two missions before it should, and typos in the subtitles as well as text on objects (e.g. \"Quarantin\" platform) are just a few examples that come to mind, but probably the most serious error is something I don't see anybody discuss. Firing the main cannon of a tank creates a loud BOOM that will alert an entire enemy stronghold. Or rather, it should. For some reason, the weapons of both armored vehicles and tanks are completely silent. While the impact of a shot does produce an appropriate sound, the enemy AI doesn't react very well to attacks from combat vehicles, for two reasons 1. Enemies have a hard time spotting a hostile tank, even while you continue to blast them to smithereens. However, within a close enough range, they can still detect the flash from the cannon and trigger a combat alert. 2. If a tank shell doesn't directly hit a soldier, enemies will investigate the site of the explosion instead of the tank that created it. Here's a video that demonstrates how vehicle weapons are silent The enemy AI is perfectly capable of responding appropriately to heavy explosive weapons. Try firing grenades or rockets at an outpost from a distance, and you'll find yourself getting annihilated by mortar shells and eventually spotted from afar. This further suggests the silent cannons are an oversight perhaps a leftover from testing. I suppose it's not too surprising that such an error made it into the finished game given how virtually nobody seems to know about it. MGSV just got a small patch yesterday, so Konami clearly hasn't abandoned the game yet. The chance of a patch that fixes various bugs in the main game is quite unlikely, but I do hope the silent cannons get addressed before MGSV stops receiving official support."}

And I have just finished MGS 3 (loved it) and am now playing peace walker. But I have questions about the weapon research system. The games tutorial didn t do a great job explaining it in my opinion and I wasn t able to find any videos on YouTube explaining it. So I ve completed the first mission and have about 20,000 GMP. I began research on the mk.22 and the Analyzer. However it seems to be stuck at 0 percent. It says that my R amp D team need to be LV 2 or higher and it says in parenthesis that my current level is 5 but the percentage isn t going up. What do I have to do to complete the research? Do I have to continue with the story or does it take a while?"}

Do we know when chronologically this cutscene takes place? Does Miller know from the very beginning, or did Ocelot only fill him in after everything was said and done?"}
