2023.06.03 13:11 Blahverse House smells when humid
We bought a house last fall from someone who has cats. One upstairs room definitely smells like cat pee all the time. That's a familiar smell that we can identify, so we are working on that. But the rest of the house gets a very sharp smell when it gets about 80 degrees. It doesn't smell like the same cat pee smell upstairs. But the previous owner had a lot of cats. Could this still be cat pee smell?
We have hardwood floors that were redone right before the house was put on the market. The unfinished basement is dry, no signs of moisture or mold. And the basement does not smell like this.
What should we do for the rest of the house? Paint the lower half of walls with killz? Would adding enzyme solution to the newly finished floors get to the smell and even do anything?

2023.06.03 13:09 FogHornicus Frustrating teaching method, funny thought & request for grammar help! Had to end lesson early out of sheer frustration & fear I’d imitate Samual L Jackson in Pulp Fiction. “Say Kogo/Czego again, MF, I dare you!!”
So I’ll start by saying I’m dyslexic so I learn a little differently and I know what will work for me after many years of struggle to get where I am, even if I don’t know the subject in question (which would be the case, you know, if I’m trying to learn it). And despite my severe dyslexia I have a BA, 2 masters, speak 4 other languages (B1 to fluent, not counting Polish which is A2/B1 with Polish it’s 5) and have a very good job and bla bla bla. I always add that here in Poland because I’ve found that some people either don’t understand dyslexia or have something against it, or something. One person told me they don’t believe it exists the same way there aren’t 75 genders…I was just confused. But I’m not judging, love Poland and all but do feel the need to add that.
So, due to dyslexics well know trouble with grammar I always avoid it but I’ve seen how it’s holding me back in my Polish so I’ve gotten so private lessons just for grammar. In this context I further explained to the teacher what is usually best for people like me and explained a few approaches (read The Dyslexic Advantage if you want an overview of them). The one I wanted to start with could be described as creating a story and context for memory…grammar just involves memorizing sometimes nonsensical things in any language and route learning (just beating info into your head with no understanding of the wider context) is very hard for nearly all dyslexics but if we understand how something fits into a wider context and add in a story, we will almost never forget it. So this is just easier, right? I’ve tried this with a few Polish teachers and they don’t seem to like it (as a side note, why? What’s the issue here?).
So I explained all this to the guy, my tutor. Yet when we were on a grammar problem involving picking the correct case, when I want an explanation why I got it wrong all he did was scream, “Kogo/Czego, Kogo/Czego” over and over. No explanation, nothing. I said this is what I was talking about and the exact opposite of what will work for me. So I asked if I could explain again the way I learn in English this time. He got furious and kept screaming “Kogo/Czego, Kogo/Czego.” I was like, “I do not know what that means..perhaps if you explain it and the wider context to me like I asked it will.” I mean, is this unreasonable? His reaction to this was to push me a little (I was sitting and he was standing) and repeated “Kogo/Czego, Kogo/Czego!!” almost hysterically now. I shot out of my seat angry because they guy just pushed me, I mean it was no big deal but he just crossed a line. He was about to speak after stepping back (I think my standing up like that surprised him) and I cut him off, “if you say Kogo/Czego again…”. Then I stopped myself and just said “To tyle na dziś, miłego weekendu i do zobaczenia w poniedziałek” and left. Other at the school had gathered outside our little room…maybe hoping to see a fist fight over grammar?!? I definitely see the humor in this all.
Now I’m wondering what to do Monday! Maybe I should imitate Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction when he pulls out a .45 and dares a guy to say what again…but in my case we will swap what with Kogo/Czego! I’m not serious of course but it is maddening. Is this a thing? I’m confused.
After some googling I see that Kogo/Czego is supposed to cue me to recall…something in dopełniać. What that is I have no idea. The entire thing was bizarre and Polish grammar is hard enough, especially for dyslexics. I’m like a masochist or something for trying!
So…the important bit! I know these question words connect to the 7 cases in some way now. How or why or what knowledge or grammar chart that is is a mystery to me. Can someone do what my tutor failed to do earlier today and explain all of it with context and why (what’s up with the yelling question words as a teaching method by the way - I don’t get it at all but I’ve heard it before). Also once I understand the story and context is there a chart or something (like a conjugation table in French or Spanish equivalent in Polish) that this is supposed to trigger or…what? Knowing what I’ve explained about how I learn I’m grateful to anyone who can try to explain this way or another as well. Help! It would be insane to go to prison over a grammar dispute! I’m kidding, of course!! Thank you to anyone that made it this far!!
Also, if anyone has any insight or opinions on how dyslexia is viewed in Poland that’s really welcome as well. Sometimes I just don’t mention it because sometimes I get a distinctly negative vibe when I do.

2023.06.03 13:07 valkuznet A 2-year story of BOOP vs MYTH
Greetings all,
I rarely visit Reddit, but I felt that I should write something to conclude this for myself, too.
MYTH and BOOP mutual grudge started around 2 years ago when MYTH moved in into the fountain and started to dictate what Boop can do and whatnot. This is eve, MYTH had its plans for Fountain, and BOOP had its own. The ongoing conflict caused a lot of pain to our players, all this kind of mocking, bullying, endless logoff camps, and other unpleasant things. MYTH took 2 constellations from BOOP at our lowest, so in short, the conflict was far beyond peaceful resolution for so many players. Even a player who was mobilized to the frontline IRL, the first question after his almost half a year silence, was: "What's up guys? Have you kicked MYTH butt yet?". Eve is truly an amazing game, that can spark so many emotions.
Time went by, MYTH was growing, BOOP was staying relatively stable but slowly declining. Some people were naturally leaving the game, and a dozen of players were mobilized IRL. Some of them were our key people, which we relied a lot. Then, NODS Corp got broken. Their CEO had to leave Mariupol with his pregnant wife, lost everything, and had to live in basements and eat snow for a couple of weeks (they're okay now, fortunately). We've formed an "HRT" corp to take good care of their players, but it hurt our in-game defences. Our core constellation became weaker. Some people might say, "Why do you mix IRL and game", but well, for a CEO there is always a bigger picture to look at.
Time went by, the alliance stabilized, many people returned to the game, it became easier to ignore IRL, and people started having a lot of fun in the game again. Cheers to Belthor btw, probably the one person in MYTH I truly respect, he reached out to us and tried to support us. We remember this.
Next, anti-SHH coalition came. We were a little bit concerned that as soon as we join the war, MYTH and RETC will attack us (that exactly happened, lol - on the very second day MYTH/RETC started reinforcing everything we had, and that lasted for weeks).
One part of joining CC and for me, and no-lifeing its a couple of months was Tahini. I did "FC" -ing for years in other games, I've been leading an e-sports team, so I've had some experience how to lead. But what I lacked, was a concrete eve battle experience. I am not a EO veteran. We had some ideas, but no proof that it works. We've hit the sweet spot. BOOP/YES doctrine turned out to be the best one on the server. It somehow worked so well.
Our logic flew 2600+, our battleships could tank 140K+ DPS, the doctrine was fucking perfect, and our people did exactly what we wanted from them. Probably, it turned out to be the best doctrine on the server, at that time. Silent couldn't make their Maelstroms work and ditched them. We managed to do it.
I think Silent had a very hard time dealing with RU specifically in our prime in those first months. Too bad Tahini left CC so early, but I think I've got what I wanted, except the cap experience. I FC'ed more than 100+ RU CTAs in the first couple of months. It was 1-3 CTAs every day, some of them at night. BOOP/YES fit together so perfectly. So thanks for bringing us together.
MYTH was a huge nuisance. Our constellations were unlivable. They've made 50+ hull timers every week, killing a pos here and there. But we still kept all our capital ships and fleets in the North. We spaced with poses/citadels as much as we can, we did force MYTH to fight in the opposite timezone, and we did ask TSC to defend us, in return for this defence we promised TSC not to hit MYTH and not to bring our fleets back home for that, keeping them North.
When Silent blew up their sov, we realized. This is the time. Our hands are free. We don't have to keep our fleets in the North anymore. CC doesn't need us anymore.
Hero suggested a regroup in Querious. Fountain is an awesome place that we loved, but in the end, it was the beginning of something new. It was time to move on. The only thing that was keeping us in Fountain, is the desire to take our sweet revenge. I swear, in a little bit more peaceful and respectful environment, MYTH could have simply bought all our sov, and we would have sold it. But no, not leaving Fountain for free, this is a matter of principle now. Maximum pain mode. I am leaving it either a winner, or dead.
Then, careful planning started. We scouted all MYTH timers. We put spies in their chats, everywhere. We had scouted the jump gate network and all its structures. We polished fits on our subcap and caps. The silent war helped a lot with fleet coordination. Many people understood what I want to do and I don't even have to say it. I and Hero happened to work very well together. I covered for his weaknesses and he did that for me, I had strengths he didn't have and he provided me with things I didn't have. Plus both of us could no-life it if needed.
Then we attacked. First day. 19 timers. Second day. MYTH forms 87 battleships/50 BC and 15 caps. We have only 80% of those numbers, and we are already stretched. We are in the offence. We make a lot of hull timers, but MYTH defended a lot too. Much more than we expected they could defend, even provided their numbers. We didn't get O-PNSN. We were running out of time. 48 hours before the O-PNSN hull almost passed, and we couldn't put it in the hull.
We put their important jump gates and form-up location into the hull just 48 hours before the hull time. We had all their comms, all discords. On one of the CTAs, we listened to their cap FC ordering a warp-in, and we jumped right this second. We giggled a bit at stuck capitals but didn't gloat. You don't think this was a coincidence, do you? A few nanoseconds more and we would have gotten not only all their sub cap fleet but half of their cap fleet too. DAMN! We monitored all their pings and adjusted our pings accordingly. We aren't as crazy as Tahini to make a 24-hour op, but we did have our 7-hour op, too. I hope MYTH found the bubbled undock a pleasant experience.
The efficiency we could achieve was amazing. YES/BOOP is far away from being a pure-pvp alliance, but a lot of players learned how to play PVP. We wiped the fleet of 50+ battleships 4 or 5 times while losing 1-3 battleships each time. 1:50 efficiency? Holy shit. Our morale and resolve were so high. We are almost there. We can break it. 90 battleships and 15+ caps camping at the gate look scary, but we can do it.
And we did. A fucking huge alliance is on its knees now. Corps started reaching us. Their morale looks broken. They don't form even captors anymore, still having more than 15+ live citadels. I felt a little bit sad, it felt like the end of a big journey.
Thanks for giving this fight. We appreciate MYTH forming this force and giving this fight. Even silent hasn't formed something like this in our prime. It did take careful months of collecting information, planning, polishing the doctrines, regrouping, and no-life FCing, to break this group in just 10 days with a smaller force, which is BOOP+YES. I always had an example of NO before my eyes, and I am glad we could execute it similarly. I think you've had the chance to stand your ground, but apparently, MYTH just didn't have this kind of inner glue keeping them together, in the end. RIP!
The only thing we couldn't manage is for our spy to set O-PNSN to a little bit better timer, but that 7-hour operation with caps was a killing blow that we enjoyed. Fountain conflict is concluded, and 2 years of stress are relieved. Breaking MYTH was an endgame for a lot of our players. I am glad we do not have to read MYTH CEO and general chats anymore, but we've had more than a few good giggles -- eve is such an awesome game, emotions like that are priceless!
I don't know what's next, but now I can officially say "The fountain conflict is concluded". Thanks for reading. See you on the grid. After I've had enough of other games (Do you play Diablo 4? :P)
Enjoy the movies.

2023.06.03 13:07 Alert_Ask_1938 Extremely high ESR levels and low Haemoglobin. Please help.
I found out last month that I was highly Vitamin D and B12 deficient. My doctor recommended 60000iu vitamin D/week and 1500 mcg/daily sublingual vit B12 supplements. He asked me to get the blood test after a month of taking these supplements. To my surprise when I got my CBC done, my haemoglobin came out 10.4 ( which a month before was 11.3 ) and ERS level is 88 which is extremely high.
I have developed fatigue and muscle ache across my body lately and I am super stressed.
Has anyone been through something similar or knows why is it happening with me?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

2023.06.03 13:07 CateArmy69 How to get over a one sided break up
*TL;DR;** : I was dumped after a big fight and my ex losing feelings due to myriad of reasons including family issues, Long distance relationship and my Ex insistence of not fixing the relationship. Did I ever had the chance to save the relationship and how do i get over from this one sided break up?
For context, I (29 M) and my ex (27 F) were of different race and religious backgrounds, we are both doctors from an Asian country and have been dating for 1 year. My Ex is currently living with her widowed mother and her sisters in the same city as me. She is also the eldest in the family (this will be important soon), despite that we tried our best to make our relationship work. Everything was smooth sailing until early Jan 2023, when my Ex Mom discovered our relationship when she snooped around my Ex's phone and her eyes went red. She threatened to disown my Ex, kick her out of the house, started smoking heavily and calling my Ex hurtful things.
We pretended to breakup so to satisfy her mother whimsical needs. However, the end goal is always for me to finally meet her mother and discuss regarding my relationship with her and making it official. However, my ex keeps dragging this issue and at one time I grown impatient and requested her to arrange a meeting with her mother because its hard to arrange a date with my ex due to her mother preying eyes + we are on LDR so we dont meet much anyways (i moved 3 hours away for work) + i am a bit jealous because my ex occasionally went out alone with a guy friend for despite me telling her that i am not comfortable with it .
This decision will cost me dearly
Fast forward 2 weeks, in commemoration of our 1st anniversary I brought my ex to a fancy dinner, went to a theme park, had an amazing sex and suddenly, she decided to break up at the end of the day claiming that she would always choose her family first instead of me and she wanted our last day to be the happiest day. I was blindsided and my heart sank, in a fit of rage, i said some hurtful things, accidentally raised my voice (we never fought before this), calling her selfish and unwilling to fight for me despite all i have done for her. Our breakup was messy and the next day we had another meeting and she communicated that her mother had been growing suspicious past few months, drinking heavily, calling her names. This worried her so she decided to breakup officially. I was unaware of this incident and apologize profusely for saying such hurtful things and asking for a chance and time to repair our relationship. I wanted her to move out from her house as i think she is being emotionally blackmailed by her mother, however she denied this wrongdoing but accepted the idea of giving our relationship a chance.
Unfortunately, for the past 2 weeks, i noticed her becoming colder, distant and more irritable than usual. She would cry every time when we're talking about the future of our relationship and had lingering trauma from our previous quarrel. I apologized and started to call her everyday to talk as per usual prior to our fight. Trying to treat her even better than before, sending her meals and buying her a gift to soothe her ailing heart. As fate had it, I received a sudden notice that i would be transferred to even far off city to work.
To reaffirm our relationship status due to the nature of our Long distance relationship. I cooked her a dinner and invited her for a heart to heart talk. Fortunately, this discussion is far more calmer than before. I reasserted that I still love her deeply and wants to change and fix this relationship by talking openly about both our problems and find a solution for that. My Ex acknowledged that maybe breaking up on our anniversary is not the best thing to do at the time. In spite of this, my Ex claimed her fell out of love with me after our big fight and her scar will forever never heal.
I suggested taking a break so that she can heal but she thinks that time would never heal her and she would only be wasting my time. In a way, she is absolute in her resolve and would not change her stance. I pleaded with her to fix the relationship and showed our pictures together to at least rekindle our passion for each other but alas it was to no avail.
In the end, we broke up amicably but I cant help to think it was one sided. She even requested us to continue being friends but it is something I am conflicted with.
Tell me reddit, I know I was also in the wrong, but did we had any chance to rescue the relationship at all?
Sorry for the long rambling

For context, I (29 M) and my ex (27 F) were of different race and religious backgrounds, we are both doctors from an Asian country and have been dating for 1 year. My Ex is currently living with her widowed mother and her sisters in the same city as me. She is also the eldest in the family (this will be important soon), despite that we tried our best to make our relationship work. Everything was smooth sailing until early Jan 2023, when my Ex Mom discovered our relationship when she snooped around my Ex's phone and her eyes went red. She threatened to disown my Ex, kick her out of the house, started smoking heavily and calling my Ex hurtful things.
We pretended to breakup so to satisfy her mother whimsical needs. However, the end goal is always for me to finally meet her mother and discuss regarding my relationship with her and making it official. However, my ex keeps dragging this issue and at one time I grown impatient and requested her to arrange a meeting with her mother because its hard to arrange a date with my ex due to her mother preying eyes + we are on LDR so we dont meet much anyways (i moved 3 hours away for work) + i am a bit jealous because my ex occasionally went out alone with a guy friend for despite me telling her that i am not comfortable with it .
This decision will cost me dearly
Fast forward 2 weeks, in commemoration of our 1st anniversary I brought my ex to a fancy dinner, went to a theme park, had an amazing sex and suddenly, she decided to break up at the end of the day claiming that she would always choose her family first instead of me and she wanted our last day to be the happiest day. I was blindsided and my heart sank, in a fit of rage, i said some hurtful things, accidentally raised my voice (we never fought before this), calling her selfish and unwilling to fight for me despite all i have done for her. Our breakup was messy and the next day we had another meeting and she communicated that her mother had been growing suspicious past few months, drinking heavily, calling her names. This worried her so she decided to breakup officially. I was unaware of this incident and apologize profusely for saying such hurtful things and asking for a chance and time to repair our relationship. I wanted her to move out from her house as i think she is being emotionally blackmailed by her mother, however she denied this wrongdoing but accepted the idea of giving our relationship a chance.
Unfortunately, for the past 2 weeks, i noticed her becoming colder, distant and more irritable than usual. She would cry every time when we're talking about the future of our relationship and had lingering trauma from our previous quarrel. I apologized and started to call her everyday to talk as per usual prior to our fight. Trying to treat her even better than before, sending her meals and buying her a gift to soothe her ailing heart. As fate had it, I received a sudden notice that i would be transferred to even far off city to work.

Apologies for the frequency at which this post is appearing, as I have yet to find what I am searching for. I don't believe my standards are excessively high, but perhaps I simply don't have enough time to communicate and would rather arrange a meeting if we seem to be a good match. In any case, let me share my story.
Once upon a time, there was a tall, nerd, and not-much attractive guy pero pwede na who woke up one morning, looked at the sky, and thought, "Well, this sucks." He knew there was only one solution - to turn to the all-knowing oracle of modern dating: T̶i̶n̶d̶e̶r̶ Reddit lol.
With his trusty cup of coffee in hand, he set out to find someone who shared his thirst for knowledge, someone who could keep up with his nerdy quirks, and someone who he could eventually take on 'friendly' dates (whatever that means). He wasn't in a rush to jump into anything too serious too soon, but he knew that someday, he wanted to find someone he could build a meaningful and caring relationship with.
So if you're a fellow lover of coffee, learning, and all things nerdy, this tall drink of water might just be the partner in crime you've been looking for. Dating at times feel like a job hunt doesn't it? So I thought it’d be fun to write it in a mock format just like a resume! LOL

About me
An old soul as older people I spoke with would say, into business and investments, frustrated law student, can drive a fucking 10 wheeler truck (sarcasm towards people looking for someone with wheels), no ex issues or sabit, can provide a certificate of no relationship (kahit wala naman talagang ganon haha).- I'm 5'10", medium built if that matters, resides in quezon city. I would say that I'm not that much attractive but would consider myself very hygienic.
- I'm an INTJ, Aries, if you’re into MBTI and believes in horoscope.
- Loves to read self-help books as I love to learn and motivate myself along the way.
- I'm the kind of person who doesn't follow the herd blindly, even if it means standing alone in a field of conformity. My principles are like a compass, always pointing me in the right direction, even if it's not the most popular route. In short, I'm not afraid to swim against the current, as long as it's in line with my beliefs.
- You could say that my communication style is like a triple-layered cake: serious, meaningful, and sprinkled with a healthy dose of humor. Sure, I may come off as awkward at times, but that's just my way of keeping things interesting. After all, who wants a bland and flavorless conversation when you can have a deliciously complex one? So, if you're looking for someone who can engage in a thoughtful discussion, crack a few jokes, and still leave you with something to ponder, then look no further.
- I'm what you might call a clean freak with a creative streak. As someone who's a bit OC (okay, maybe more than a bit), I can't stand to see a messy or cluttered home. But don't worry, I'm not the type to wait around for someone else to do the dirty work. I take pride in noticing when something needs to be done and taking care of it without being asked - it's like a satisfying little victory every time. And when it comes to interior design and home decor, I'm practically a pro. I'm always on the hunt for the latest and greatest tools and gadgets to keep things looking fresh and stylish. So if you're looking for someone to spruce up your space and keep things sparkling clean, I'm your go-to guy.
- I'm not in the business of putting people down - unless we're talking about the volume on the stereo (badum-tss!). But seriously, I believe in treating others with kindness and respect, even when it's not the easiest thing to do. After all, life is hard enough without having to deal with someone else's negativity. So let's lift each other up instead of tearing each other down, shall we?
- I set feasible goals and actively pursue them.

- Doesn't do drugs and is not a heavy drinkealcoholic.

- Craves knowledge too. Love and isn't afraid to try new things
- Passionate and proud about something they've been working on/have done/are planning to do
- Confident about what they want but isn't in-your-face about it.
2023.06.03 13:06 oreha Curred then f.....d again by medic.
Hy everyone, sorry for the poor english. 35F, with IBS since I'm 7. Mostly managed today by following FODMAP diet, but it's not perfect and I still have flare as soon as I deviat or am stressed, and have sometime manageable pain , diarhea and constipation.
I give birth around 2 month ago to my first child. And after birth some miracle happen : My IBS disapear. I basicaly was back to a normal, pain-free transit 2 day after. I even had a belly FLATTER than before my pregnancy. For info, it's something that happen sometimes: digestive system is heavily impacted by pregnancy (both in good - endometriose stop- and bad - constipation-) and also by labor, so there is some sort of "reset" who happen shortly after birth. I suppose I had the main cause of my IBS "cured" by the fodmap diet, so all my "residual" IBS was some sort self sustaining stuff.
Anyway. I was pain-free, I was happy, my baby was great.
Until doctors screw up again.
Technically, they didn't screw me. During a weight check, they misdiagnose convulsion and a brain tumor to my child. Just before a weekend followed by a long holiday. So I basicaly spend 5 days in a lot of stress and bad food. I couldn't leave the hospital because I need to breast feed my baby and answer doc question. They wouldn't feed him because each day was supposed to be the last before they release him. They endup keeping us like that 5 days.
My baby was with an IV 'in case they need to admin something and branched to a monitoring 24/7 the whole time. The monitoring alarm threeshold was configure for a kid, not a newborn, so the alarm went on day and night every 20 minute. I didn't sleep more than that.
Since I wasn't the patient, my newborn was, I wasn't feed, so I basicaly had to feed myself instant noddle and microwave food for that time.
Since we were in pediatric unit, the room was shared with teenagers , so my partner wasn't allowed to stay in the room alone, and I wasn't allowed to use the room bathroom, because I could have molested them here.
The kids were great, but it still mean that each time I live, my kid would be alone with stranger. Also that each time my newborn was crying in the middle of the night, I should make him stop crying ASAP. Same with the monitoring alarm
The breast feeding was epic in itself. since my baby was wired to IV and monitoring, he was only movable around 1 meter around his bed. To short for me to sit with my back rested when I was breastfeeding. Also the bed was a medical one, aka 1m20 above the groud. The chair they gave me was a kid chair, way closer to the ground than it usualy are. You know how recently birthing women love to do squat holding a weight of 3 kg of gingling baby.
All of that for... nothing. When the specialist (neuro-psycho-pediatric) endup coming back of his vacation, he dismiss all the symptom as "weird move newborn to in their sleep" and "weird stuff imature brain look like" and send us back home ( we still have a few exam to do check the imature brain become a normal brain in 6 month, but it's more control than anything)
So anyway, my kid is fine.
But my IBS is back at full power.
Everyone expect me to thanks the medical team as they had cured a brain tumor to my kid.
But I'm furious. I was curred for a whole month, and now I feel like I've wasted a rare opportunity to live IBS free.
Also : taking care of a newborn when you have a flare a day, spending either an hour pooping or in too much pain to do anything other than laying on the floor suck. also, your postbirth perinea is badly impacted by the whole IBS shit ( pressure, cleaning trouble, etc).

2023.06.03 13:04 Lordie-San Is reverse boosting the only way to avoid frustation on ranked?
I am a fairly avg player that used to stay around 950-1000, been playing for quite a while (I started with the conquerors playing on hamachi back in 2010-2011), with long breaks in the middle.
I have managed to stay on 1020, at this stage the game for me personally become a literal sweatfest, with people throwing everything they could, drushes, maa perfect micro players with 100 hotkeys, doing perfect tower rushes, pure feudal play with over 20 maa (I seen this once and i ragequit so badly), performing some stuff i didnt even see before (Like the guy who sneaked vills somehow into a spot that i exactly didnt scout and in no time spammed like 20 crossbows after a fast castle), plus managed to wall off my 2nd gold somehow. I am talking about 1v1 games, team games are just 50% my ally afk and i report them for "afk" after the game ends, 50% the enemy team decide to go around trolling or smth by suiciding their vills on my TC (Happened on around 1K ELO).
This has lead me to just artificially lower down my elo to around 700 to actually enjoy and play chill, i play just for fun not for winning hard. I been literally throwing 1v1 games and messing around on purpose so i can lower down my elo, instead of smurfing which i also saw a lot, i just did it naturally. I know i will get back to like 900 in no time, but i try to specifically avoid that.
And yes, i have tried to play on normal lobby games, but 9 out of 10 the lobbies that says noobs only are full of players around 1,4K elo, so basically this lobbies are noob killers, and the rest of the lobbies are just too unbalanced, with teams as extreme as 1 guy on a 3v3 carrying the entire team against 2 avg players and a sim city player.
I see old posts about 1K elo being the avg, it feels like that has changed this few couple of years and that info is kinda outdated. If you have over 5 hotkeys that you actively use, micro decently, wall off, and use meta strategies, u are already above avg in my eyes. So closest to avg i been on is 800, and i felt like i can play calm and even sometimes just chill while doing stuff slow. The 1K has caused me to ragequit much much harder and rage much worse than in fighting games.
Any other way to comfortably play ranked without having to lose 5 games in a row to decrease elo? Because so far i only thought i would reverse boost in MW2, and no other game until now.

2023.06.03 13:04 Touchythefischy what should i use to remake this ramp
PICTURES https://imgur.com/a/xpOHhR3
I've been meaning to fix this as rain is seeping in on the right side. I'm hesitant to use concrete because it doesn't seem like i'll need a thick enough bed and it might be a bit of a task managing to keep the aggregate down. I've never used concrete before so not sure what to expect in terms of its managability. My idea is to completely remove the old ramp sloping outwards and then redo it fully.
I'm also in half a mind to just remove the slopes on either sides, have it flat and then just install one of those garage door guards. You can see in one of the pictures that the batten is rotted at the bottom, this is where mainly is seeping in and has caused the plaster and paint to peel off on the walls on that side. What do people recommend?

I've been meaning to fix this as rain is seeping in on the right side. I'm hesitant to use concrete because it doesn't seem like i'll need a thick enough bed and it might be a bit of a task managing to keep the aggregate down.

2023.06.03 13:04 WorldsInvade How can I achieve it with brainfog?
About me: I've been diagnosed with nacrolepsy type 2. Always sleepy. This causes brainfog and other implications. My condition demands for proper sleep at night. The problem is, I'm never lucid in real life. Everything is distant and pale. In my dreams I never dream of real life, or real locations. Only of people I haven't seen in a while or people who are similar to people I know. I feel like I have no chance to become lucid using reality checks, since everything in my dreams is disconnected from reality. I have good dream recall thou, recalling about 3 dreams a day. I also try using meditation and intention setting before going to sleep (which worked out 1/60 nights) after reading Stephen Laberge.
Anyone got any advice for me? Or has a similar problem? This is so frustrating, since I've been trying and tracking dreams for almost two years now.

He arrived with his parents and his famous siblings - Janet, LaToya, Jermaine, Tito and Randy. They waved to the fans chants of Michael is Innocent! https://preview.redd.it/p8jtchhn0p3b1.jpg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9cb1c23e69cfefb6e4608aa16b3650011976c106 Defense attorneys completed their closing arguments, labeling the Arvizo family liars and con artists trying to pull the biggest con of their careers. "They are trying to take advantage of Michael Jackson," said impassioned defense attorney Thomas Mesereau. "They are trying to profit from Michael Jackson. They think they have pulled it off. They are just waiting for one thing - your verdict." "What they are trying to do to Michael Jackson is so harmful, so brutal, so devastating if you have any reasonable doubt about the double-talk, the lies, its over. You must acquit Michael Jackson," he told the 12 jurors. Mesereau spoke about the American system of justice and said, "We have the best system in the world and ladies and gentlemen I'm begging you to honor the system. You must acquit him." He accused prosecutors of trying to "dirty up Michael" because they lack the evidence to prove their case. "The witnesses are preposterous, the perjury is everywhere," Mesereau declared. "None of it works. The only thing they've had is to throw dirt all over the place and hope it sticks." He added: "If you look in your hearts do you believe Michael Jackson is evil in that way? Is it even possible? It really is not." Mesereau then played excerpts from a video in which Jackson denies any sexual impropriety and said that he had never been betrayed or deceived by children. The defense attorney conceded that Jackson had been lax with his money and had let the wrong people into his circle. But, he said, the singer was not the monster the prosecution were trying to depict and that he was not guilty of any crime. Afterwards, prosecutor Ron Zonen delivered a brief rebuttal. He sought to answer the question of Jacksons motivation for the crime asking, "Why would Mr. Jackson do it? Because he could This child was in love with him. This child would do anything he said." Zonen reminded jurors of the past allegations made against Jackson saying that this was necessary in order to see the total picture. He claimed that Jackson was in love with his 1993 accuser and added that the current accuser is a clone of the boy in that case. After both sides rested for the last time, Judge Rodney Melville ordered the eight women and four men on the jury to begin their deliberations. He gave them a 98-page book of instructions. The Judge told Jackson that he could stay at Neverland during the proceedings but requested that the attorneys remain within 10 minutes of the courthouse in case the jurors had any questions. These deliberations are the final stage of an ordeal that began 14 weeks ago. During this time the jury has heard testimony from over 130 witnesses. A verdict was expected early next week. Court Transcript While Jury deliberations take place, the whole Jackson family waits for the verdict at Neverland. https://preview.redd.it/lh5l7gqo0p3b1.jpg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5967b6b6c73b0a56bec2b5b8e28f20e68b9ddb7 2008 - Michael has dinner with Thomas Barrack Jr, chairman and CEO of Colony Capital LLC, at the Las Vegas Hilton's Verona Sky Villa. 2009 - Michael goes to Culver Studios with Prince, Paris & Kenny Ortega, where he shoots “The Drill” 3D https://preview.redd.it/5lzzqj2t0p3b1.jpg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8747a49dd0f9c68ae73b6f93fa21e2f9e01b6a77 https://preview.redd.it/hezl4ayt0p3b1.jpg?width=199&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1dae7ef1a99ee196a5be6dbfb8cd5ab243856f58 He also, once again, goes to Dr Klein’s in Beverly Hills. 2013 - Jackson v AEG Trial Day 22 No Jackson family member was at the courthouse. Paul Gongaware AEG cross Putnam asked Gongaware if MJ was comfortable with all the show dates. "Yes, I went through all of the dates with him," Gongaware said. Bugzee, the tour manager, had a big calendar on the walls, Gongaware explained, saying they changed the dates of the shows four times. The jury was shown an email in which Gongaware worked with a staffer to create a calendar to show Jackson. He wanted colors changed. He wanted the calendar to be changed so that it reflected Jackson's show dates and off days differently. Gongaware email: Figure it out so it looks like he's not working so muchAs to the email, Putnam asked if he was trying to fool Michael: "No, I was trying to make it clear, trying to get it just the way I wanted it," Gongaware responded.After changing 4 show dates Gongaware said Michael was comfortable with it. He would do 8 shows in July, 10 in August, 9 in September. There would be no shows in October, November and December, resuming with 10 shows in January, 10 in February and three in March. No back-to-back shows. Gongaware said the O2 Arena had a previous commitment in Oct-Dec of 2009 and they could not have the concerts. Putnam: "Was this a rigorous schedule?"Gongaware recalled that on the HIStory tour they did 10-12 shows per month, from country to country, but this one would stay in London only. Gongaware said he wasn't concerned with Michael's age. "He seemed great to me," he said, and this was stationary show, didn't have to travel. Gongaware: The reason Michael wanted to delay the 1st show was he wanted more time to rehearse in the O2 Arena where the show would take place.He said Michael and Kenny Ortega would decide the rehearsal schedule. Gongaware explained Michael didn't have to attend rehearsals, since it was not part of his deal. He said they never require an artist to rehearse. "I didn't have any expectation," Gongaware said regarding Michael rehearsing. He said he's never seen a requirement for a musicial artist to rehearse & that during the HIStory tour, Michael didn't rehearse but nailed it. "When it was game time, he would show up," Gongaware explained. For instance, Gongaware cited an outdoor concert in Bangkok in high heat, humidity. As to the email Gongaware wrote about calling Michael lazy, he said he used unfortunate choices of words, Michael didn't like to rehearse. Talking about the elements of the show, Gongaware described what they wanted to do for the opening of the show. He said Michael would be dressed up in a LED suit, like a television, flashing on him brief movie about things that happened in history. Michael would be lowered down onto the stage. He called the LED suit a "Moon man" suit, but Ortega called it "Light man." Putnam showed a presentation of how the LED suit idea would work. Footage is not on This Is It documentary because it was early stages of prep. Gongaware said the 1st idea was to make Michael float from the audience, but they couldn't make it work. So they decided to lower him down onto the stage. Gongaware said the big screen on the back of the stage was 3D capable. The audience would be given glasses when they entered the show. The 3D songs would be Thriller, Earth Song and Smooth Criminal. "He wanted to do biggest, best show ever, live show," Gongaware said Putnam showed email chain from Ortega to Gongaware asking to make a deal with choreographer Travis Payne. Answer from Gongaware: This is not AEG money, it's Michael's money so it takes a lot of time to get approvalsDefendants were trying to establish a pattern that all the money spent was actually Michael's money, not AEG's, just like with Dr. Murray At one point Gongaware said he learned from Michael about a doctor named Murray. "He came to me and said he wanted his personal doctor on the tour". Gongaware said he suggested to Michael to get a licensed doctor in London who would know the lay of the land, in case of need. "This is the machine, we have to take care of the machine. I want Conrad," Gongaware said Michael responded. I think what he meant was his brain could create it but his body had to deliver the show every night Putnam: "Were you surprised he wanted to take his doctor on tour?"Gongaware said other artists take doctors as well, so he was not the only one and it didn't surprise him. Gongaware said he's been on tour before where an artist had chiropractors, but couldn't remember being in one with a doctor Putnam: "Did you worry Michael might have a health issue?"Gongaware said the suggestion for a London doctor was due to the cost; paying a doctor full time was much more expensive than hiring a local doctor. Gongaware said Dr. Murray treated Michael for about three years before 2009. He knew the doctor was from Las Vegas but said he was in LA. Gongaware said he then called Dr. Murray to work out a deal. Gongaware testified he didn't have Michael's direct phone number, would go through Michael Amir Williams, his personal assistant, to reach him. Gongaware called Murray on behalf of Michael saying the singer wanted to take him to London. "What do you want to be paid for that," Gongaware asked. Gongaware said he thought Dr. Murray was expecting his call and was aware of the desire to take him on tour. "He said he would need $5 million," Gongaware recalled. "He said he has 4 clinics to close, would lay off people, needs $5 million for that." Asked by Putnam if Murray's price was reasonable: "It was ridiculous," Gongaware said about the amount asked. "It was a lot of money for something like that and Michael could not afford it." Gongaware said he responded that it wasn't going to work" He said this was the first time he spoke with Dr. Murray. After that, Gongaware said he told Michael Amir and Randy Phillips what the doctor had asked. He also told Frank DiLeo. Gongaware said a lot of people who wanted to work for MJ asked for huge sums of money, thinking he had a lot. Putnam: "Would you be doing this if Michael had not asked you?""He was Michael's doctor, Michael wanted him. That was it," Gongaware said. Putnam:" Did you think about checking the doctor?"" I'm not going to tell Michael Jackson who his doctor should be," Gongaware explained. "It wasn't my place to say who his doctor was going to be," Gongaware said. "It was his decision." Gongaware said he doesn't think a doctor's financial situation has anything to do with being an ethical doctor. Gongaware said it never crossed his mind to either do a background check on Dr. Murray or to suggest to anyone to do it. "I just expect doctors to be ethical, the financial side of their lives shouldn't have an impact on their medical decision," Gongaware opined. Gongaware said he never did a background check on anyone he hired and had he done one on Dr. Murray, it would've been out of the ordinary. He also said he never considered performing background checks on Jackson's makeup artist, a choreographer who worked one-on-one with the singer or Kenny Ortega, the tour's director. "I didn't see the need for it," he said. Dr. Finkelstein, a friend of Gongaware, said a doctor should charge $10,000 a month for the tour work. But Dr. Finkelstein would've done it for free, since he was on the Dangerous tour before and had a lot of fun The second call about Dr. Murray came from Michael Amir Williams saying they were going to need to get a deal done for the doctor. Gongaware said he heard Michael in the car saying "offer 150, offer 150." Gongaware understood that to be $150k/month. Gongaware called Dr. Murray, said he was authorized to offer him $150k a month. He said Dr. Murray responded that he couldn't do it for that. Gongaware told him the offer came directly from the artist and Dr. Murray responded: "I'll take it" Gongaware said Michael approved the amount of compensation. "Michael told me offer 150," Gongaware recalled. "And that's what I did." Gongaware inquired from Dr. Murray how he would get a license in London and the doctor told him not to worry about it. They talked about Dr. Murray's request for a house in London, and the doctor said he would need a three bedroom house. Gongaware recalled Dr. Murray saying he would probably need an assistant and some equipment, but no details were given at this point. After the call, Gongaware said he let Michael Amir Williams know what the result was in a May 6th email: Done at 150k per month, per MJ. He needs about 10 days to wind down his practice then he will be full time Asked why he had negotiated with Murray, the AEG executive replied that he was "instructed to by Michael Jackson." Gongaware said there was no other reason for him to deal with the doctor. Marvin Putnam asked Gongaware why he didn't tell Jackson he couldn't take Murray on tour with him."Because he could if he wanted," Gongaware said. Gongaware said he passed Dr. Murray on to Timm Wooley, never had any other conversation with Dr. Murray about him possibly going to London. Putnam: "Do you have any understanding as to whether a contract with Dr. Murray was executed?"Gongaware said Michael was ultimately responsible for his own health: "I think everyone is responsible for their own health and well being. He was a grown man with the capability to make decisions regarding his health and medical care"Putnam showed Gongaware a frame from the This Is It film in which Jackson's manager, Frank Dileo, was sitting in on dancer auditions. Dancers auditions took place at the Nokia Theater on April 13, 14 & 15. Michael attended the last day and made the final decision, Gongaware said. He said Ortega wanted to film the audition to use fresh footage on michaeljacksonlive.com. The cost for crew to shoot the audition was very high, so Gongaware bought a couple of cameras and used his own crew to shoot the rehearsals. He said he wasn't sure what he would use the video for, but thought the website would be a good platform. Gongaware said during the period at Center Staging, Michael was good, engaging, didn't think there were any health issues or was using drugs Gongaware said the media in the UK was going wild with gossip about Michael Jackson. "They just lie about things." The Sun claimed Michael had skin cancer on his chest. "It was sport over in London," Gongaware said about stories on tabloids. Gongaware testified about emails in which UK press agents working on This Is It sent him tabloid reports on Michael's health. Gongaware said he urged the press agents not to respond. He wanted Jackson's performance to speak for itself & silence skeptics. Gongaware on 5/27/09: The Kid is healthy and rehearsing every day. He was still there at dance rehearsals at 9pm last night when I left. Our redemption will be when he does his shows, that makes all of this build up so damn sweet. We don't have to sell tickets, so we can just sit back and prove them wrong by just doing it.Gongaware said he was not concerned "If there was something going on, if he had cancer, we would've heard about it."Michael Jackson rehearsal venues:
Putnam went through a chain of emails about tabloid reports in the UK regarding Michael. In one, it said Michael had asked AEG to reduce the number of shows by half. Gongaware said that such a discussion never happened. Gongaware testified he woke up to one gossip headline pretty much every day. His idea was simply to ignore the tabloids. "An amazing show would be the answer", Gongaware said Gongaware on 6/5/09 in response to Sunday Mirror Query: "We can only make this work, of course, if MJ puts on the best show of his life. I'm here to tell you that be will. I have seen it for myself. Last night he ran 9 songs with full band, singers and dancers. Sang every one, he was amazing, captivating, riveting. And he's just getting started. Taking it one step further. When people realize that bulls**t the press has been, they will be in receptive mood for the truth Hey look. No skin cancer. He's just a good dad, loving raising his kids. His art and his craft are paramount. A gentle, loving man who does care about people"The shows were going to be spectacular," Gongaware said. Putnam showed a clip of Michael in front of a green screen with 11 dancers, who would become 11,000. Gongaware said Michael was great at this point Regarding email Phillips sent Gongaware directing to remove Michael's "skeletal" scenes Gongaware said he didn't take anything out of the movie. Putnam: "Did you remove anything from the movie?"Putnam showed a clip from This Is It with the making of "Thriller 3D" and Jackson wearing red jacket. Putnam: "Did you try to alter in anyway how Mr. Jackson looked, appeared?"Gongaware said he didn't remember any of the footage been removed because of how Michael looked. "We just let the footage speak for itself" The mini-movie of "Earth Song" a bulldozer would come out from a ramp in center stage. Putnam: "A real bulldozer?"Gongaware said they had to build the bulldozer like a prop. It would appear at the end of the song on stage. "I think the live audience would be just captivated by it," Gongaware said about the little girl running after the last plant on Earth song. End of the show would be 3D animation. An airplane taxis up, door opens, Michael entered the plane. The airplane door closes, Michael would actually take an elevator down and out of the building, but the plane would take off over the audience Gongaware said he didn't know if anyone was responsible for Michael's nourishment. Tour would be demanding and exhausting Gongaware said he met Dr. Murray once at MJ's Carolwood house and ran into him at The Forum during rehearsal. There was a meeting scheduled to discuss Michael's nutrition with Randy Phillips, Kenny Ortega, Dr. Murray, Michael, Gongaware and DiLeo. Putnam: "Do you recall anyone in that meeting ever telling Dr. Murray how he should be treating Michael?"Gongaware said he didn't have any medical training and wasn't qualified to tell Conrad Murray how to treat Jackson Gongaware said neither Dr. Murray nor Michael talked about the treatment he was receiving. The meeting was about nutrition & vitamin therapy. Gongaware said he had no idea Dr. Murray was giving Michael Propofol and first heard of the anesthetic after Michael died. Gongaware said Dr. Murray was really engaged in the meeting, seemed like a very intelligent guy and wanted to take care of Michael very much. This was the first time Gongaware met with Dr. Murray. He said there were no signs of Michael being poorly treated by the doctor. "Michael was engaged in the meeting, attentive, seemed happy we were having this meeting," Gongaware opined. "He's a doctor, he'd know better than anybody how to treat his patient," Gongaware said about Dr. Murray. As to Gongaware's email saying AEG, not Michael, paid Dr Murray he said he was mistaken. "We wouldn't pay his salary, we'd advance Michael's money". Gongaware said he didn't remember writing/receiving the email, but never denied he did it. As to Michael being habitually late, Gongaware said the singer worked on his own schedule, did things his way Gongaware said his understanding was that Michael hired a trainer of his choice, Louis (Lou) Ferrigno: "I made the deal with him (Ferrigno). He was supposed to be paid a certain amount of money per session" He didn't elaborate on fee, how many times he worked with Michael. Putnam showed an email from Travis Payne, he suggested a massage chair to be put in Michael's dressing room.As to Bugzee's email saying MJ needed cheeseburgers, brats and beers, Gongaware said Bugzee was joking, Bugzee cared very much for Michael. Gongaware testified he didn't recall having any concern about Michael's health/using painkillers as of Monday 6/15/09, 10 days prior to his death Gongaware was asked about several emails that have been shown before, including messages related to MJ missing rehearsal on June 19, 2009. The executive was on the East Coast for a family wedding, but responded to one message questioning why Murray wasn't at rehearsal. Gongaware email: Take the doctor with you. Why wasn't he there last night?He then explained his thinking to the jury. Gongaware: If his patient is having a problem and he's sick, and he's his only patient, it seemed like he should be thereGongaware said on 6/19/09, he was out of town. "This is the day Michael had chills at rehearsal and was apparently sick," Gongaware recalled. "If the meeting was going to be about what happened that night, the doctor should be there," Gongaware said. Gongaware said he believed Michael wanted to go on tour. He said he doesn't remember anyone talking about pulling the plug on the shows.

2023.06.03 13:03 blicknixr Founding the Third Path and Fatal Push
So we had this interaction yesterday. With the last chapter of [[Founding the Third Path]] [[Fatal Push]] was targeted. So how we see it, the 3. Chapter is on the stack, resolves with the target and then befor the Fatal Push is cast the Saga is sacrificed due to the Rules and as this is a state based action the fatal push is cast and resolved after the saga left the battlefield and can destroy creaters with an Manavalue of 4 or less. We wherer not sure if the sac is only done after the fatal push is resolved.

Made it on 0 behave and have a couple of thoughts.
The most easiest way to win in this hell is just take ROSH. Stupid team = forever. Bad spell casting = forever. Not a single stun in team, as always. Just the game, no matter how you stay on lane or what hero play, all comes to fight 5 vs 5 for towers. And the only way to win that fight is to take the rosh beforehand. Timing 8 min 11 max. That was the 1. Second thought is PEOPLE ALE PEOPLE STOP HITTING THIS F(!**!*king creeps. PLEASE GOD STOP. Just think about it for 1 minute all heroes farm almost with the same speed, so after 20 - 25 minutes cores have to have all they need to take fights. SO WHY NOT FOCUS ON KILLING ENEMIES AFTER. The same pattern game after game = Some heroes start fight and every single soul run trough the hole map to get in that fight. Just be smarter 1 time and try to be in that fight just from the start. don`t hit creeps and press move after your teammate. Congrats you will win dota this way. (And as you remember after kills it`s time for rosh)))
Some fluff to take into account ... 1. When enemy spawn see where they is tp. 2 when enemy carry dead IT`s 90% that he will tp for ancients => you can smoke beforehand and kill him that ULTRA TILT for him. 3 see other lanes when your hero have ability to do something ( not on every hero but even on 5 - 6 lvl it can lead to triple kills). 4 don`t take damage to get creeps!!!!!!!. If you stay 1 vs 2 just take xp or go pull creeps. even 2 vs 2 IF you weaker don`t die for creeps => break lane instead!. 5. if you tilted as hell => disconnect and play some relaxing music. 6. Just don`t die in game. That absurd I get it... But if you don`t see enemies it means they wait to kill you_) 7 don`t ever try to do something because of your teammate. you know your hero and you have to analyze every single situation before going in. 8 if you weeker just don`t let creeps get to your base, you can die under t2, you can high five on enemy base, but don`t let creeps get to towers and maybe your carry will buy bkb) 9 You can`t play DIFFERENT lanes. That`s *****. If your team show on other lane you can`t go push other => enemies will see that you are divided and (if they smart enough) kill one of you. This can take place only in the begining of the game or when enemies dead. => MAX is 2 lanes that are close but all cores have to be backed. Like with chess figures.

2023.06.03 13:02 Worried_Brain_6010 Old Boss Quit, New Boss Sucks
So, I work in the financial aid office at a college. My former director had worked there for nearly 20 years before retiring. When she left. She recommended our assistant director, who had 16 years at this college, for her position. Well, they had recently promoted a new person into a decision making role about the financial aid office, and he is obsessed with outside hiring. So despite this person knowing how to do the job, having a PHD when the job required a bachelors, and having 16 years of experience when the job required 5, they gave it to someone outside the college just because he was outside the college.
So this guy comes in, and is completely incompetent. Has clearly lied about his credentials and abilities as he knows almost nothing about the universal processes or guidelines. He is lazy, often being seen in his office on his phone playing games. When concerns were raised by the two assistant directors they were berated, and implied that they were jealous he got the job instead of one of them. All of us advisors see the strain of this slowly trickling down to us. Eventually both our assistant directors and one of our office managers quite within four weeks of each other.
Now it is just him. No assistant directors and only one office manager. After about a month, they post the office manager job and let us know they will have two openings. They interview everyone who is interested and we have two really great internal candidates…and zero external applicants. They chose to tell the second internal candidate no, because they want an outside hire for the second role. They then told her that the reason she got passed over was for “questioning the decisions of her superiors” by asking about the position after the interviews, when no one heard anything for another month. The second reason they gave was that she should work on finishing her bachelors degree, which is not a requirement for the job.
All through this process I, the only other male presenting person besides the new director, have been getting treated like shit by him. He talks to me like I am a moron, questions every single thing I do, and threatened my job over putting a ticket in with IT.
We went to our union and it did nothing. They had a meeting with him and his boss, and nothing came of it. I had already accepted this and started job hunting.
Now they are introducing a new thing in the office that they call hoteling. Basically they created new positions and there aren’t enough desks in the office for everyone. So now we are going to rotate and share desks with other people at random. Where will we sit during this? At the front desk, which is essentially a bank teller window were part time and student workers sit. We no longer have a personal space at work. We are now forced to sit in a tiny space to be constantly interrupted in it because they refuse to utilize other empty office space.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, I am just running out of space in the post.
I had my second interview at a more prestigious four year institution on Thursday and should find out if I got the job this coming week. Keep your fingers crossed for me peeps, cause I am drowning.

2023.06.03 13:02 AJ_NoStyle My small moment last night as a shy lad
I was just vibing at the club when I saw this other stoned girl looking my way
I went up to her and proceeded to ask her an unacceptably deep question for a first interaction. I asked her
"If you could be anywhere right now, doing anything, knowing you couldn't fail. Would you still be here?"
And she answered yes. She likes it here and she likes me.
I literally shit you not, I did not think I've ever gotten a compliment like that before. It took me back. I was speechless.
I just thought it was a cute moment. Sure I fumbled it after. But going out has gotten me more comfortable with talking to people in a social setting. It's a start.

2023.06.03 13:01 PomegranateBubbly900 Protecting fresh tattoo at work
I just got another one done and this time it’s leaking like crazy. The first saniderm fell off after 10 minutes so I went back to the artist and the second one lasted a solid 1 hour and fell off again. Since it leaked out of the saniderm I removed it now and washed it. However I need to go to work later and I really don’t want this to get infected. Idk how “old school” healing worked since I’ve always used saniderm without issues before. Any tips are appreciated ❤️

2023.06.03 13:01 Mithril1991 Issue with PETG
 | Hi there. I am trying to solve an issue with my printer, where first layer is incoherent and is "rupturing" or more like "cracking". Of course this is visible on further layers as well as the problem distributes further. Mainly it's visible in the middle of print where I've printed several lines of brim (for a reason) Material is PETG, the temperature in nozzle is 245°C and bed 95°C. Printer is Sovol 3D sv01 pro. 3rd photo is after removing from bed, so from bottom Any help? P.S: 1) I've leveled the bed. Printer also has ABL which I use before each of the print. 2) Filament is not freshly opened, so potentially moisture? But why is it so inconsistent? 3) I've used IPA (not beer) to clear the bed and then sprayed a bit of hair spray. But not too much Thanks upfront submitted by Mithril1991 to 3Dprinting [link] [comments] |
2023.06.03 13:00 spinachgod (UK) Am I in the wrong? Garden dispute
We have a shared garden with a path down the middle. On contract, the left side is part of mine and my partners flat. The right side is part of the downstairs flat (mortgage contract). However a tenant in a different flat (our neighbour who we otherwise get on with) often uses our side of the garden - at the moment it is for short periods of time having a coffee etc, but she has spent hours out there before painting, and as the weather gets nicer, she might start having friends over etc. I have checked with our shared landlord and she has confirmed that our neighbour does not have any garden access on contract, it is just us and the downstairs flat.
It is starting to annoy me, as I feel uncomfortable using the garden if she is out there, and it annoys me that I am paying for a space that she is essentially using for free, without asking us.
Am I in the wrong? My partner doesn't understand and doesn't see what the problem is. What should I do about this, if anything?

2023.06.03 13:00 Gabrant A curious story of a foreigner in Italy
Disclaimer: I've been a lurker on reddit for years and I don't make this type of post, I see posts like this all the time and felt the need to share them with you. sorry for the grammatical errors and the lack of structure in the text.
Hi everyone !
I've been in Italian territory for just over a week, the experience so far has been fantastic, I still haven't seen much of the famous tourist spots, but only the environment and above all the people have all been very kind to me, I've had the impression that Europeans were drier.
I came to the country on behalf of my fiancée she is also a foreigner with relatives living here for years, since last year we planned this trip and earlier this year i bought my ticket (she was already here). our relationship for 3 years in our home country was ..unbalanced, we always had problems (nothing too serious, normal problems for couples, but frequent) but we always had a lot of love for each other . The thing is ,2 weeks before my trip she sent messages saying she wanted to break up, she didn't use those words but that was the message, I was desperate, we talked and came to an agreement that our relationship would continue and that our past was water under the bridge and that here would be a new beginning. however our happiness lasted the first 2 days after my arrival, after which she started behaving strangely again, we talked again and we broke up, she is confused and maybe not to hurt me anymore, she doesn't have the strength to say that she does not love me.
At the moment we share the same environment, we sleep together, we interact, I see that she still looks at me with some affection, she always smiles and worries about me, so it's a case where she completly ignoring me. Maybe it's guilt for my trip or maybe something else, I don't know.
I'm taking each day at a time and trying to get better. I decided to make this post because although I had already received advice from several people close to me, I thought reddit was also a good alternative. I felt a little guilty for spreading my negativity but like I said, I see these kinds of posts and I see good advice.
Some details I omitted:
-Her mother (who lives here) doesn't have much hope in us, maybe that's one of the reasons.
Well that is. I hope the text isn't too confusing and once again apologies for the embarrassing post and negativity.
