So your playing as an ex con who just got out of prison and your friends who picked you up and brought you to a diner that they usually go to because the food is amazing
I play as a young mom who’s working two jobs. My first job is at that diner and the other is at a bar. The father isn’t in the picture and refuses to pay child support since I got pregnant at 17 and blames it all on me.
My son is 5 years old and has no babysitter so he has no other option but to come to work with me and sit with me and watch me work.
As soon as you walk in the diner goes quiet because they know who you are because you have a bad reputation with gangs and other activities like that. We lock eyes immediately and I get a little flustered as not a lot of people look at me that way because the only people that do are just looking for something out of me.
I serve your table with us constantly making direct eye contact we flirt a little while you order and as I walk away your friends start talking about you saying how much you need all these things from me but you ignore them and focus on me
My son gets bored and starts to walk around the diner and play with his toy cars and I see him and he hits your coffee down and he gets a little scared. I grab him and I apologise since he got it on your shirt and I go grab some paper towels

I'm in Canada, it was good but no more

I’m literally screwed both ways it seems. I can get Cemu to launch a game with the controls working fine but I have no audio and no options for any under the settings. When I use the proton version I have directsound as an option but I can’t get the controller to detect in the settings the same way the other does. Not to mention I can’t get it to launch a game in game mode nor can I see the settings bar at all. I’m about to just give up and play Twilight Princess on my PC to avoid this all together.

I’m curious how people handle the pressure of being the primary breadwinner in their marriages, and if anyone ever becomes jealous or resentful of a significant other who works less. In my case, I make over 3 times what my spouse makes and pay the bulk of rent, bills and expenses (although he certainly contributes a fair amount). I’m in a very stressful profession, work long hours, late nights and weekends, am constantly stressed and anxious and can’t consider a career change because we can’t afford a large income reduction at this time. My issue is that my spouse has a job, but doesn’t work very hard and doesn’t express any ambition for a better career trajectory. He works 100% remote, takes naps and plays online games frequently during the day, signs off early at 4pm, has plenty of time for hobbies, gets tons of vacation time, etc…. We have no kids and I’d say we split chores about 60/40 (him/me). I know this is 100% my own issue, not his. I chose this profession, I’ve been in this profession long before I met him and I battle severe anxiety and depression which skews my perspective. And I don’t necessarily want to lose the income and prestige of my career. But when I express a desire to downshift my career, he gets very negative and comes up with many (admittedly logical and practical) reasons why it won’t work.
I know I sound like a terrible person. None of this is his fault, it’s all me. He’s the most amazing, supportive, caring spouse in the world and I’m so lucky to have him. I love him more than life itself, and we have a wonderful life together. I own my choices and fully understand this is all on me. I just can’t help but feel resentful sometimes and wish he made better money to take some of the pressure off me, or at least worked harder so I wouldn’t feel like I’m the only one truly sacrificing. I constantly feel like I just want to run off to a remote tropical island and work at a tiki bar. I am looking into mental health resources for career burnout, anxiety and depression. But I wonder if anyone else deals with this issue in a marriage and how you’ve dealt with any resentment or jealousy issues.

Starting on July 1st, Reddit has decided to impose exorbitant charges on third-party app developers (Relay, Reddit is Fun, Apollo, Baconreader, Narwhal, etc.) for utilizing their API. This decision has far-reaching consequences that not only hinder app developers but also affect the experience of moderators and users alike, including impacting accessibility. The lack of function in Reddit's official app has made far from a complete solution for moderators, and left many users dissatisfied with their experience with it as well.
​In response to this situation, DIY has joined with other subreddits in a coordinated effort. We believe that unity is essential in driving change and advocating for the rights of app developers and the overall user experience. To amplify our message and demonstrate the strength of our concerns, barring any significant positive changes in Reddit's plan,

DIY will be participating in a blackout starting on June 12th, lasting at least 48 hours.

During this blackout period, the subreddit will be set to private, rendering it inaccessible to all users. This collective action is intended to raise awareness and urge Reddit to reconsider their recent API changes. Our primary goal is to initiate a productive dialogue with Reddit, leading to a reversal of the detrimental modifications they have implemented.
We understand that this blackout may cause temporary inconvenience to our community, and for that, we apologize. However, we firmly believe that this short-term disruption will bring long-term benefits for every user. By standing together with other subreddit communities, we hope to send a clear message to Reddit and foster a meaningful conversation about the future of their API policies.
In the meantime, we encourage you to let reddit know that you disagree with their planned changes
​There are a few ways you can express your concerns:

• Sign this open letter to Reddit
  
• Share your thoughts on other social media platforms, spreading awareness about the issue.
  
• Show your support by participating in the Reddit boycott for 48 hours, starting on June 12th.
  

​We appreciate your understanding, support, and active participation in this important endeavor. It is through the strength and dedication of our community that we can strive for a better Reddit experience for everyone involved.

Completely random and sudden FPS drop across all games, it seems I can't get over 40-50fps. Before, playing Diablo 4, Battlefield 2042, Overwatch 2. Everything ran at or around 144fps with no dips what-so-ever. I woke up my PC to play some VR games with my friend, had to Remove All SteamVR USB Devices to get it to work. That worked, played VR for about an hour and a half. I was putting my VR stuff away and unplugging my base station. I accidentally flipped the breaker switch on my outlet extension. Turned it on, went to play some OW2, 40-50fps on all games listed above.
I've reinstalled display drivers from Geforce, rebooted, checked my monitor's refresh rate, and DDUed.
**Forgot to add resolution. My monitor is 1440p-144hz

Hello! I’m planning on purchasing my 1st new car (previously only purchased used cars) and looking for advice.
Price/Negotiations: I’m looking at a 2023 Subaru Ascent Limited which has an MSRP of $41,595 + $1,225 Delivery and Destination Fee. Edmunds and KBB show an invoice price of $40,028. Edmunds suggests a range of $40,678 - $43,194 with a Suggested Price of $41,836. KBB shows a fair market range of $40,043 - $42,384 with a Fair Purchase Price of $41,214. Another Subaru dealer in the area has a similar vehicle available (with extra upgrades/add ons that bring the MSRP + D&D to $43.5K) for which they are advertising savings of $2.5K to bring the price to $41.7K after their $700 dealer fee.
How should I go about negotiating the price? Do I ask them their sales price to start or do I propose one? If the latter, what number should I start with? Should I start low at invoice price and in anticipation of them negotiating up or is it better to come out with a proposed fair purchase price (using the competitor’s comp and KBB/Edmunds)? What additional costs are there to arrive at the out the door cost? Is there a way I can estimate additional fees/taxes beforehand?
Trade In: I have a ~15 year old vehicle that I’m thinking about trading in. Given its age/mileage and the fact that it needs some work I’m not sure it’s worth much (CarMax shows ~2K and KBB shows a trade-in range of $1.6K - $2.4K). Are the KBB and CarMax appraisal estimate tools still helpful given I bet they will likely just scrap or auction my car? If they come in with a trade in value significantly lower than CarMax’s is it better to sell to CarMax instead of trade in?
Financing vs Cash Purchase I have enough saved up to pay cash for the Ascent (without dipping into my emergency fund), but am a little intimidated to do so. It’s the most I will have ever paid before–even more than my mortgage down payment. I have good credit (800+) and Subaru is advertising 3.9% APR on new Ascents. My credit unions are advertising (5.14% and 7.74%, but I have not sought pre-approval yet. If you were in my shoes, would you pay all cash or finance a part of it? If the latter, how much would you put down vs. finance? Is it worth getting pre-approved with my credit union before going to the dealer? Logistically what is the best way to actually pay the dealer (e.g., ACH transfer, check, etc)?
Anything else I should consider going into this purchase?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
TLDR: First time buying a new car. Looking for suggestions on negotiating the price of new car and trade in and whether to pay all cash

I'm currently grinding the BH role until I hit 15 gold bars because the Moonshiner role requires it. I completely forgot about the prestigious BH role until I stumbled across it again, seemingly forgetting about it.
I enjoy the BH role, and it's by far one of my favorites, but I'm unsure what the prestigious one gives you? I have all the roles aside from Moonshiner, and just making sure, I've done some research on the role and heard nothing good about it, but is it true?
I'm stuck on which one to buy because they're both 15 gold bars each. I'd like some genuine feedback and your opinion(s) on which one would deem fit for me? I'm currently stuck on choosing. I don't want to buy the Moonshiner role and have it not be any good, alongside that, could someone explain to me what the prestigious Bounty role has?
thanks!

I’ve been dipping my toe into the direct-to-consumer market and I’ve really enjoyed playing both the Snell Prime X and the Vice ProPlus. To me they seem relatively similar in terms of durability but I wanted to gather some other opinions.
How (in your experience) does durability compare between Snell and Vice?

Just a disclaimer, I am a 15 year old female with dark hair and bright eyes which is what most people would consider "The Supermodel Look". I am also quote tall (over 5'8 I'm just not sure lol). Now before I begin this story, I just want to say that I believe that kindness takes you far and I don't like being rude at all, I would never fight a girl over a guy. Even if I'm in a bad mood I always try to be nice and seem like an approachable person even when it may be tough to do so. I just try to be a nice person and I think everyone should aswell. Anyways there are a few stories in this so buckle up.
Yesterday, I was out shopping with my Father like a FatheDaughter day out. I decided to wear shorts and a white tank top as we are currently at the time of this story in June. Now, the shorts I was wearing were not short. Quite strange to hear from a girl my age as some of us could go out shopping in a tiny bikini and say its suitable lol. But they really weren't, they were about 2 inches above my knee and the tank top went all the way down to the waistband of the shorts. If you have an image in your head you would understand its not in anyway sexually revealing, plus I'm 15 and I can't really show off my body, and I don't want to. So, we were walking through the mall and a man and his wife were walking by, (I know it was his wife because they were holding hands and they both had rings on) and we were walking towards eachother for a good 8 seconds and the whole time the man was just staring at me. I of course stared back because this has happened over 7000 times in the past so now I feel like doing it back. We held eye contact for a bit before he got embarrassed and looked ahead and so did I. But then I looked back at him and there he was staring at my chest whilst his wife was there. I scoffed loudly while looking him up and down making sure he heard and saw me. He quickly looked ahead. This infuriated me as my heart went out to his wife. I know if I had a husband and he was not only looking at other girls chest, but a minors chest?? I would be absolutely furious with him. Absolutely disgusting. I kept walking alongside my father and I just shook my head. He asked me what was wrong and I didn't even want to begin because I was so used to it by then.
Story 2.
So about a week prior to the previous story a friend and I were walking outside beside a big road. We were both wearing denim shorts and jackets. I was wearing a crop top but she was wearing a T-Shirt. Suddenly a car comes speeding up the road. It just so happened to be clear with nobody else out walking and not too many cars on the road. Again, it was a man in the car by himself. He quickly comes to a halt and stops his car on the curb. He does a full 90 degree turn and just stares at us while checking us out. The man was over the age of 45 and I genuinely felt sick to my stomach. I gave him the middle finger and he sped away. Me and my friend were laughing about it awkwardly but I think we both knew how uncomfortable we were. Again, Absolutely disgusting.
Story 3.
The same friend and I were in the city center just walking around, shopping etc. We were stopped at a crosswalk waiting for the signal to turn green. Infront of us were two rough looking men. And when I say that, they were dirty, missing teeth, dirty finger nails, but they were wearing 'designer' so I think you know what I'm trying to say and it's not 'homeless'. One of them turns around of just starts staring at us. Particularly my friend. He nudged the other guy and he begins staring at me. Not even trying to hide it, just straight up, full body turned staring at us and they were both doing a nasty looking smile at us while staring at everything but our faces. They both look at eachother and both nod in approval. These men were like mid 30s atleast. Once again, DISGUSTING.
Story 4.
This time I was walking past a bar with my mom. This was only about 3 weeks ago and it was pretty hot so there were tables and chairs outside for people to sit on. So, as I was walking past there were a group of men, mid 40s. They were all talking until my mother and I walked past. One of the men completely stops talking to watch us walk past which obviously instigated the other men to turn around. Just. Staring. The. Whole. Time. D.I.S.G.U.S.T.I.N.G. Oh and yes they were staring at my butt the whole time.
Story 5.
I was in the airport with my parents as we were going to visit family on the other side of the US. I live in California and they live in Florida. So we were sitting down waiting to board the plane. There was a man. Probably late 30s with his family. He had 3 young children with him. One in a stroller and the two were probably 7 or 8 sitting next to us. I wasn't using my phone, I was just sitting there because I didn't want to use the battery on my phone or any other device so I was just glancing around. So the Father had the phone very close to his face. And sort of aimed towards me because he clearly didn't want his wife or kids to see what he was looking at. He was on Instagram, and you know when you go to search something on Instagram a bunch of pics come up beneath it that are based from your search. Well yeah, there were a bunch of girls in bikinis. They definitely weren't minors thank god but it was a bunch of Instagram models filled with filters and surgeries. I wanted to take the phone and throw it across the airport. This man is sitting beside his wife and family of young children and is sitting there, staring at these unrealistic images of half naked women. Please control yourself. It made me sick.
I could go on for hours, days, weeks and even years with stories of men being absolute perverts or just being so careless of their families because they want to look at half naked women online but I don't wanna waste anyone's time.
Now, i just want to say I'm not one of those girls who take part in the 'kill all men' horse crap and im certainly not a girl who hates men for no reason. I am friends with some boys who are genuine sweethearts and I hold out for them to go far in life and have loving families etc. But the way men act nowadays has a huge influence on young boys to act just as perverted and creepy as they are and it will create a chain of absolute pedophiles throughout the coming decades. It has to stop. Some parents have to be aware of how their children speak about others, particularly women because if you've ever heard how they speak about their wives or girlfriends you will genuinely never want to go near a man again.
And another thing, if some men want to know why some women have such high standards its because they have went through the creepiness and perverted behavior by men they don't even know as a young girl so many times, they naturally think all men are like that. So maybe if certain boys and men change how they speak, act and present themselves the standards will lower. But until that changes, more and more women and girls will continue to rise their standards.
Now, I will not sit behind a screen and absolutely slander men because its not all men and don't even lie, we both know its not all men. But it is enough men for women and girls to be afraid of going near them. And from my point of view, my friends are constantly chasing boys and not to sound like a pick me, but I don't. I genuinely don't bother chasing boys because most of them act the same. The way they speak about girls etc. I personally have high standards because of what kind of behaviour I've seen from so many men at a young age.
I think it's important to spread awareness about this. And please nobody say 'it's just what men do'. No. I firmly refuse to believe its just what they do and if there were a set of words to describe what they do they would be "Utterly Desperate". If you feel the need to stare at other girls while you have a girlfriend?? Its ungrateful and desperate. Ungrateful because you don't realise what you have, and forgive me for saying this, but some boys have a set standard for what they look for in girls during their teenage years and they usually are skinny, 4'11, size D chest, no waist, no belly fat, no stretch marks and a huge butt so 9 times out of 10 that's what their girlfriend will be. So yeah, they don't appreciate their girlfriend enough and it's desperate because what makes you feel like staring at other girls?? To see if she's pretty? Most likely. Are you that desperate to see other pretty girls. It also works the same if he looks at girls on Instagram etc. If he's looking at these unrealistic Instagram models, it's desperate.
I also don't understand how some girls let their boyfriends watch porn. It really dosent compute in my head. It's not realistic. It litterally sets unrealistic standards for how you should look, act etc during the devils tango. I hope one day people realise how bad it is for you. Realise that's not what the female body looks like, nothing in it is realistic, and the actors are so dramatic. Some of them are litterally screaming?. Once again not realistic. Society needs to change how they view women. Its disgusting.
Also for the boys reading this, feel free to comment about your experiences with strange women in public. I think people forget this happens to boys too.
I ask you to not attack me. I just want people to listen to me and become aware of these situations. Stay safe out there and have a lovely day.

Eyes

• The device is designed to work with you comfortable at a distance
• Eyes and hands are the primary inputs, but you can also use: voice, mouse and keyboard, gaming controllers.
• To make apps comfortable for the eyes:
  • Design apps to fit within the field of view
  • Keep the main content in the center of the view, the most comfortable part for the eyes
• Consider depth when thinking about comfort
  • Keep interact content at the same depth
  • Modals can “push” back the main window and take on the same depth
  • Tab bars can overlay on top of the main content, indicating hierarchy
• Avoid using shapes with sharp edges, as your eyes tend to focus on the outside of the shapes with sharper edges.
• Minimum target area for eye selection should be 60pt. Use generous spacing in between interactive elements.
• Use dynamic scale for UI, not fixed scale. When a user resizes a window with a fixed size, all content (including targets) will get smaller. This will make things harder to read and interact with.
• All system provided controls highlight when you look at them.
• If you use custom elements for your apps, user hover effects to provide feedback.
• All search boxes, when tapped, will automatically use voice search.
• No focus information is ever sent to the app (privacy protection)

Hands

• Available gestures: Tap, Double Tap, Pinch and hold, Pinch and drag, Zoom, Rotate
• Custom gestures should be:
  • Easy to explain and perform
  • Avoid gesture conflicts
  • Comfortable and reliable
  • Accessible to everyone
• Magic moment: Zooming in on images will be anchored on the point at which you’re looking.
• Magic moment: Drawing in FreeForm is done by looking with the eye and pinching with your fingers.
• Since there is no haptic feedback, add additional visual feedback to convey interactivity.

Hi Friends! I will be spending a few days in both Vienna and Budapest in a few weeks. If anybody is familiar with the area, can you recommend some good wine bars/shops in these cities? I’d like to get some local stuff the bring back to the US, so places that sell bottles at a solid price is preferred. Thank you!

Over the past month or so, I've encountered several small but frequent issues with Spotify through Sonos. This is primarily but not exclusively when I use the Spotify app (I dislike the Sonos app).
Includes things like:
-When I start to play a podcast, it automatically jumps to another, completely unrelated podcast (not even the next one in a queue, or anything as sort-of logical as that). This will happen repeatedly. Eventually I can usually brute force it into playing the one I want but I can't identify the fix.
-An album (not on shuffle) will simply stop playing at the end of, say, the third song. Or fifth. Or whatever. The completion bar remains near the end of the song and when I hit play, it will replay the song that just finished rather than move to the next.
-No sound. A song or album will show as playing through the correct speakers in both Spotify and the Sonos app. Except it's not actually playing (maybe on some secret frequency the dog can hear- I'll ask her).
-Sudden shift between speakers. What was playing in one room will suddenly move to another room.
I'm going to contact support but as these all happen randomly and with varying degrees of frequency, just curious if anyone has experienced the same or similar and has a trick that I can attempt before doing so.
Apps are all updated, I've restarted WiFi, etc.
TIA!

I am considering leaving California in a few years because I am not sure I'll ever be able to afford a home here.
I am considering moving to IL, NY, or MI but I am not sure how waiver works given CA has no reciprocity with any state.
It appears that I could waive into IL after being licensed for 3 years (I am at 1.5 years currently.) Is that correct? Is waiving in a full license to practice law?
It also appears that NY requires admission in a reciprocal jurisdiction. If I waived into the DC bar, could that allow me to then waive into the NY bar?
​
Would anyone else move in my position? For background:
I have only been an attorney for 1.5 years but I think not being able to afford a home is the reality unless I make a killing going solo in a few years, which is impractical given the experience I've gained working for the government and a short stint in family law. I have considered trying to get a public defender position since it actually would pay more than my state position and could be good experience for a solo crim firm in a couple of years, but I am not sure if that is going to be enough to stay here either.

Hello, I'm looking for a game that I played as a kid, but I don't remember the name or author or date.

The game is : 2D,Survival,Crafting and you can play multiplayer or singleplayer.
​
I remember that some youtuber that I followed at the time had made a video if I'm not mistaken it was "Cellbit" and the title of the video had something to do with "Mago dançarino".
So I'll say some memories that I have, The game had stages with maps of different biomes, the first only biome that I remember had pigs that when killed as I remember they gave bone and meat and experience there was a bee and a kind of bull that gave dash, in the biome there were traps like thorns and has some trees too.
You had a life bar with a template like this 5/5. There were also several characters that you released as you did quests and these characters had different and useful items.

Jonah 1:17 New International Version

Now the LORD provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Jonah 2:

1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.
10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

This fish plays a major role in the story of Jonah. What does it symbolize? Sheol? God? Salvation? Jail?
The following is from Nhi:
The fish or, more to the point, the fish’s belly represents the tomb. To Jonah, being trapped inside the fish was representative of being in the land of the dead. Jonah made this comparison himself when he prayed from inside the fish’s belly:
I called to the Lord out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried — verse 2
I descended to the base of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever — verse 6
Jonah tried to avoid doing God’s will by sailing to Tarshish, “a maritime country lying in the remotest region of the earth... one of the remote places that have not heard of Yhwh.”* His time in the fish’s belly taught Jonah the futility of hiding from God. After all, what is the sense of running away when one’s life is shown to be entirely in God’s hands?
From the moment God called Jonah to go preach to the Ninevites to when Jonah was regurgitated from the mouth of the fish, this story stands as an enduring testimony of God’s boundless omnipotence and of his absolute power over life and death.
*Singer, Isidore, Ph.D, Projector and Managing Editor. Entry for 'Tarshish'. 1901 The Jewish Encyclopedia. https://www.studylight.org/encyclopedias/eng/tje/t/tarshish.html. 1901.

I'm heading to Croatia later this month, and the pinball map seems a bit sparse in terms of locations. Does anyone that lives / travels around Croatia know of any pinball arcades / bars? I'll be driving around most of the country, so anywhere in Croatia including Zagreb and Split is fine
