2023.03.29 12:28 Birdish_Planter Feeling really low Energy
So I started losing weight and (restarted) lifting consistently at the beginning of last year and have made a lot of progress. Went from 85 kg to 73 kg (I'm female, 1,70 m) and put on a bit of muscle mass. BMI wise I'm still slightly overweight (I know, BMI isn't necessarily important). I took a bit of a break at the end of last year from attempting to lose more weight and wanted to cut down a little bit more at the beginning of this year but I've been really struggling. I think I know where the issues lie, obviously my expenditure has gone down due to weight loss (as expected) and I'm struggling to stick to my lower calories. But overall, I just feel very low energy when trying to stick to my deficit. Anyone else in this situation? What do you do? Do you just get used to feeling quite low in energy and stick with it or is this my bodies lower intervention point and a sign that maybe I should just let it go and not lose more? I'm sorry if this is a bit of a rambling post but I'd be really interested in other peoples experiences with this. Do you just call it quits and accept that maybe your body would just not like you to go further or have you successfully pushed through and it just takes some adaptation? Lifting weights is such a joy in my life but I'm currently dreading going to the gym because I feel like I don't have the energy to push myself during workouts.

2023.03.29 12:27 jazzman23uk In Defense of Fumiya (Jack O' Frost)
With the end of
Jack O' Frost coming soon, I thought I would state my thoughts so far on Fumiya and his actions regarding Ritsu. Please note: I am not saying Fumiya is perfect, or that he has not made mistakes. This is just my take on the show so far:
I've seen a lot of people condemning Fumiya for the way he has acted ever since Ritsu got amnesia. Most of these viewpoints seem to be entirely from the perspective of Ritsu (understandably), but I have seen virtually nothing commenting on Fumiya's perspective, so here is mine:
- Just Broken Up* Just before the accident Fumiya and Ritsu have broken up, a major life event. When Fumiya arrives at the hospital he is caught between the Doctor and Ritsu's brother. He claims to be Ritsu's roommate. Technically, he is not wrong. They have broken up, but still live together; this would be an incredibly inappropriate time to reveal what has happened - not all LGBT rights are recognised in Japan so telling the doctor would complicate things, but Ritsu's brother doesn't know that they've broken up. Fumiya is caught between these two characters, unable to tell the 'truth' to either of them for different reasons.
How would it look to claim you had broken up just as he lost his memory? It would seem as though you didn't want to deal with them now they've become a burden. Realistically, Ritsu's brother should've taken Ritsu away when he discovered they had just broken up. This is where the major f-up happens imo. Letting Fumiya take care of Ritsu even though you know they just broke up is cruel. The family should have taken Ritsu back in to recover when they found out what had happened. And there is no way Fumiya isn't blaming himself for Ritsu's accident.
- Reason for Breakup The whole breakup occurred because Ritsu was constantly forgetting things that were important to Fumiya, leading to Fumiya believing that he wasn't important to Ritsu. The amnesia then seemingly confirms this, with Fumiya being the only person that Ritsu forgets entirely.
Fuyima has just gone through a breakup as well and isn't in a stable emotional state - he has been unhappy enough to break up with his long-term partner after a major argument, then later that night suddenly has to become the anchor in their life, act like nothing has happened, and be their dependant all while unable to vent his own sadness. He is constantly reminded by how miserable he is yet must suppress it as Ritsu has no concept of what has happened between them.
- Cares for him anyway Fumiya treats Ritsu as a friend throughout; at no point does he force anything on him. He gives Ritsu the bed and sleeps on the sofa in a different room, accompanies him on holiday as a friend despite knowing that it was supposed to be a romantic vacation for the two of them, encourages his drawing. It is only when Ritsu starts showing signs of interest and appreciating him like when they first started dating that he begins to outwardly struggle with his own emotions. He does have an inappropriate outburst that is definitely not ok - but (see below) he is seeing everything from an entirely different perspective to Ritsu. He also does apologise, albeit with it falling on headphone-stuffed ears.
- One-Sided History Fumiya had already implanted idea of roommates in Ritsu's head - how would it now look to claim they were dating? In most scenarios that would be considered taking advantage of a vulnerable person; it is only because we already know that they were in a relationship that we don't see it as such. Forcing relationship on amnesiac would be unsuccessful - only one side has memories, they could never trust what was said they would have to take it on faith. The history and shared experiences that created that bond are no longer there for one of them: a loving gesture by Fumiya would be seen as inappropriate by Ritsu, a casual touch would become forced intimacy.
Every interaction they have is in a totally different context for the pair of them: Ritsu is approaching every situation with a stranger that he is learning about, Fumiya sees everything in the light of someone he knows and cares deeply for but isn't reacting the way they used to - he knows what they do/don't like, he knows who they do/don't like, but the relationship between them is superficial. Even small things like 'who can come over?', 'let me know if someone is round', 'please restrict work things to the office' - small issues and rules that have been built over the years, suddenly all forgotten and swept away. Fumiya is constantly reminded not only of the loss of his relationship but in many ways the loss of the person as well. A whole section of his life has been erased.
Ritsu can blame Fumiya for everything because he isn't aware of what Fumiya has gone through, he only can see from the perspective of a stranger. Fumiya sees everything from the perspective of a lover, so what Ritsu sees as an invasion of privacy, Fumiya sees as a regular occurance. What Ritsu sees as an unimportant matter Fumiya sees as something they have been arguing over for years. What Ritsu sees as a work colleague, Fumiya sees as an ex-boyfriend and rival. Whilst knowing that someone has no memory or way of remembering these things, feeling it is an entirely different matter. Things done in innocence may feel like they are done to spite you.
This wasn't as eloquent or well-written as I'd have liked but I unfortunately don't have time atm so it's a rush job. I am interested to see whether I agree with myself after it's finished tomorrow, but hopefully this may be of interest to some people, even if everyone violently disagrees with me š
Basically it boils down to: I like this show. I like the way it's written. Both characters are flawed, and I like both of them. I believe the way they are acting and interacting is pretty believable, and for me that is probably the most important thing when it comes to enjoying a show - nothing feels unreasonable or unrealistic. This and Our Dating Sim are my two top shows atm, and likely will be right at the top come their finales this week.

2023.03.29 12:27 daniellehunter5828 The Impact Of Product Development Life Cycle On Your Business
In today's dynamic market, customers and market trends are constantly evolving. As new demands arise, businesses must adapt their services to meet the changing expectations of consumers. In the same way, products and software solutions cannot remain stagnant and must evolve to stay competitive. To address these challenges, a product development life cycle is typically used to guide the process. This approach involves a series of steps and allows teams to remain flexible and adapt their plans as needed. If you are planning to launch a new product, it is crucial to be familiar with the product development life cycle. By utilizing this widely-recognized strategy, you can develop a high-quality product that aligns with current market trends. A
software development company specializes in the development of software products for clients.
What is Product Development?
Product development is the process of designing, creating, and introducing new products or improving existing ones. It is a crucial aspect of any business that aims to stay competitive in the market and satisfy customers' changing needs and preferences.
Product development begins with identifying a gap in the market or a customer need that has not yet been fulfilled. The process includes conceptualizing, designing, prototyping, testing, and refining the product until it meets customer expectations and is ready for launch. The success of a product development process relies on a combination of factors, including market research, customer feedback, technological advancements, and collaboration among various departments, such as marketing, design, engineering, and manufacturing. Effective product development can help a business generate revenue, increase market share, and improve brand reputation. However, it also requires significant investment, resources, and risk-taking, as not all products will be successful in the market.
What is Product Development Life Cycle?
The product development life cycle (PDLC) is the process that a new product goes through from the initial idea to its eventual retirement from the market. It is a series of stages that a product undergoes to ensure that it is developed, designed, and launched successfully. The PDLC is an essential framework for businesses that want to create successful products that meet their customers' needs and wants. Dedicated developers are an essential component of any software development project. They are responsible for writing code, testing software, and debugging issues as they arise. You can hire a product manager who plays a critical role in the success of a software development project. By following the PDLC, businesses can ensure that their products are developed systematically and efficiently. This approach helps to minimize the risk of failure and maximize the chances of success. The PDLC is a crucial tool for businesses to use when developing new products, as it enables them to create products that are both innovative and profitable.
What is the Product Development Life Cycle Stages?
The Concept of Idea Generation
Idea Generation is the first stage of the product development life cycle. It involves generating a pool of potential ideas that can be developed into products or services that meet a specific need or solve a problem. This stage is crucial because it sets the foundation for the entire product development process. During Idea Generation, companies and individuals can use various methods to come up with new ideas, including brainstorming sessions, customer feedback, market research, and trend analysis. These methods help to identify customer needs and preferences, industry trends, and market gaps that can be filled with new products or services. The goal of Idea Generation is to generate as many potential ideas as possible, without evaluating or filtering them. The aim is to create a large pool of ideas that can be reviewed and narrowed down later in the product development process. The ideas that make it through the initial screening process are then evaluated for their feasibility, market potential, profitability, and technical requirements.
A Screening of Ideas
Idea Screening is the second stage in the product development life cycle, which involves evaluating the potential of new product ideas and concepts to determine which ones should be further developed and which ones should be dropped. During idea screening, a company typically generates a large number of product ideas through various sources, such as market research, customer feedback, internal brainstorming sessions, and competitor analysis. These ideas are then subjected to a preliminary screening process to identify the most promising ones based on a set of predetermined criteria. The criteria used for idea screening can vary depending on the company's objectives, market conditions, and industry dynamics, but typically include factors such as market size, growth potential, competition, technical feasibility, financial viability, and strategic fit with the company's overall mission and goals. Idea screening is a critical stage in the product development life cycle as it helps companies to focus their resources and efforts on the most promising product ideas and avoid wasting time and money on concepts that are unlikely to succeed in the marketplace.
Conceptualization
Conceptualization is the third stage of the product development life cycle, which comes after the ideation and feasibility analysis stages. It is an essential phase of the product development process, as it involves the creation of a detailed concept or idea for the product. During the conceptualization stage, the product team works on defining the product's features, design, functionality, and potential benefits. They conduct market research to identify the target audience, their needs, and preferences, as well as competitors and industry trends. The team also develops a product roadmap and a product plan, which outlines the project's scope, timeline, resources, budget, and milestones. They may create prototypes, wireframes, or mockups to visualize the product's appearance and user experience. Moreover, the team evaluates the feasibility and viability of the product concept, taking into account factors such as technical requirements, manufacturing costs, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, and environmental impact. Once the product concept is fully developed and validated, the team moves to the next stage of the product development life cycle, which is the design and development stage. In this stage, they create a detailed design specification, build and test the product, and refine it based on feedback and testing results.
Design And Development
The fourth stage of the product development life cycle is the design and development stage. In this stage, the product concept that was developed in the previous stage is transformed into a tangible product design. The design process involves creating detailed specifications, determining the materials and components needed, and creating a prototype. The development process involves building and testing the prototype to ensure that it meets the required specifications. During the design phase, engineers and designers work together to create a product that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly. They use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create 3D models and simulate how the product will function in real-world scenarios. The design team also considers factors such as manufacturability, cost, and safety when creating the product. Once the product design has been finalized, the development team begins building the prototype. This involves sourcing materials, assembling components, and testing the product for performance and functionality. The team may go through multiple rounds of prototyping and testing to refine the product until it meets the required specifications.
Testing & Analysis
Testing and analysis is a critical stage in the product development life cycle where the product is thoroughly tested to ensure that it meets the desired quality standards and functions as intended. This stage typically occurs after the product has been designed and developed, but before it is released to the market. During the testing and analysis stage, the product is subjected to a series of tests and evaluations to identify any defects or issues that may affect its performance or usability. These tests may include functional testing, performance testing, security testing, usability testing, and compatibility testing, among others. The results of these tests are carefully analyzed by the development team to identify any areas where improvements or modifications may be needed. Based on the findings of the testing and analysis stage, the development team may make changes to the product design, software code, or hardware components to improve its quality, functionality, or user experience. A dedicated developer must have strong problem-solving skills, be able to work well in a team, and possess a deep
understanding of software development best practices. The testing and analysis are also important for identifying any potential risks associated with the product, such as security vulnerabilities or compliance issues. These risks can then be addressed before the product is released to the market, helping to ensure that it is safe and compliant with relevant regulations.
Delivery
The delivery stage of the product development life cycle is the final stage before the product is released to the market. This stage involves finalizing the product design, packaging, and marketing materials and preparing the product for distribution. During the delivery stage, the development team works closely with the marketing and sales teams to ensure that the product is positioned and packaged in a way that appeals to the target audience. This may involve creating product demos, promotional videos, and other marketing materials to help generate interest and excitement around the product. Once the product is ready for distribution, the development team will work with logistics and shipping partners to ensure that the product is delivered to customers in a timely and efficient manner. This may involve coordinating with warehouses and distribution centers to ensure that inventory is managed and shipped out on schedule. In addition to logistical considerations, the delivery stage may also involve final quality control checks and testing to ensure that the product meets the required quality standards and functions as intended. This may include performing final user acceptance testing or conducting final security and compliance checks to ensure that the product is safe and compliant with relevant regulations. Dedicated developers are committed to delivering a high-quality product on time and within budget.
Launch
The "Launch" stage of the product development life cycle is the final stage in which the product is introduced to the market. This stage involves the execution of the marketing plan that was developed during the earlier stages of the product development life cycle. During the Launch stage, the product is made available to customers through distribution channels, and advertising and promotional campaigns are executed to raise awareness of the product and generate demand. The focus during this stage is on maximizing sales and achieving the revenue goals set out in the marketing plan. The Launch stage also involves monitoring customer feedback and market trends to ensure that the product is meeting customer needs and expectations. This feedback can be used to make improvements to the product, adjust marketing strategies, and inform future product development efforts.
Post-Launch Evolution & Improvements
The Post-Launch Evolution and Improvements stage is a crucial phase of the product development life cycle, occurring after a product has been launched into the market. This stage is focused on continuously improving the product and adapting it to meet changing customer needs and market trends. During this stage, the company collects feedback from customers and analyzes market trends to identify areas where the product can be improved. The company may conduct surveys, focus groups, or other forms of market research to gather feedback and identify areas of improvement. Based on this feedback, the company may make changes to the product, such as adding new features, improving the user experience, or addressing any issues or bugs that have been identified. The company may also adjust its marketing and advertising strategies to better reach its target audience and increase sales. Continuous improvement is essential in this stage to keep the product competitive in the market and to maintain customer satisfaction. It is also important to regularly update the product to stay ahead of competitors and to remain relevant in the market.
Why Should You Know About the New Product Development Cycle?
Knowing about the new product development cycle is important for several reasons, including:
- Understanding the new product development cycle allows companies to stay ahead of their competitors by introducing new products to the market faster and more efficiently.
- By following a structured development cycle, companies can identify potential issues and address them early on, saving time and money in the long run.
- Through the new product development cycle, companies can gather valuable feedback from customers during the development process, leading to products that better meet customer needs and preferences.
- The new product development cycle encourages creativity and innovation, as companies strive to create new and better products to meet the changing needs of the market.
- The new product development cycle allows companies to manage risk by identifying potential problems early on in the development process and addressing them before they become major issues.
Understanding the new product development cycle is essential for companies that want to stay competitive, reduce costs, satisfy customers, foster innovation, and manage risk effectively. You must hire a product manager for product development who is responsible for identifying market opportunities, defining product requirements, and guiding the development team in building high-quality software products.
Why Do Companies Require a Product Development Process?
Companies require a product development process for several reasons:
Ensure Quality
A well-defined product development process helps companies ensure that their products meet high standards of quality. By following a structured process, companies can identify and address potential issues early on in the development cycle, reducing the likelihood of defects and errors in the final product.
Manage Risk
Developing a new product is inherently risky, as there is always a chance that the product will fail to meet customer needs or fail in the market. A product development process helps companies manage this risk by providing a framework for assessing and mitigating potential risks throughout the development cycle.
Improve Efficiency
A structured product development process helps companies improve efficiency by ensuring that everyone involved in the development process understands their roles and responsibilities and that communication is clear and effective. This can help reduce delays and ensure that the product is developed and launched on schedule.
Optimize Resources
Product development can be resource-intensive, requiring significant investments of time, money, and expertise. A well-defined product development process helps companies optimize these resources by providing a framework for prioritizing tasks, allocating resources, and identifying opportunities for cost savings.
Benefits of Using the Product Development Life Cycle
The Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC) is a process that guides the development of new products from conception to launch. There are several benefits to using the PDLC, including:
- The PDLC provides a structured and systematic approach to product development. This ensures that all important steps are taken and that the development process is well-managed.
- The PDLC helps identify potential risks and allows for proactive risk management. This helps reduce the likelihood of product failure and protects the company from financial and reputational losses.
- The PDLC can help reduce product development costs by identifying issues early in the process, allowing for timely course correction, and avoiding costly mistakes.
- The PDLC helps ensure that products are developed to meet customer needs and are of high quality. This can lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
- By providing a structured approach, the PDLC can help reduce the time it takes to develop and launch a product. This can be a significant competitive advantage in fast-moving markets.
Using the PDLC can help companies develop better products, reduce costs, and increase their competitiveness.
Difference Between PDLC and SDLC
PDLC (Product Development Life Cycle) and SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) are both methodologies used in the development of products or software, but they differ in their approach and focus. The
software development life cycle is a structured approach to software development that involves various stages such as planning, design, development, testing, and deployment. The software development life cycle provides a framework for managing software projects, ensuring that they are completed on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of the client. Each stage of the software development life cycle requires specific skills and expertise to ensure that the project progresses smoothly and efficiently. Here are the points of difference between PDLC and SDLC:
- The primary difference between PDLC and SDLC is their focus. PDLC is focused on the entire product development process, from conception to launch, while SDLC is focused on the development of application software.
- PDLC covers a broader range of activities, including market research, product design, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and launch. On the other hand, SDLC is more focused on software design, coding, testing, and deployment.
- PDLC places a higher emphasis on involving end-users throughout the product development process, from the initial design stage to the launch. SDLC is more focused on meeting the technical requirements and ensuring that the software is delivered on time and within budget.
- PDLC is a more comprehensive methodology that covers the entire product development process, from ideation to launch, while SDLC is more focused on software development process. PDLC also involves more risk management, more significant involvement of end-users, and iterative development, while SDLC follows a linear approach with a greater emphasis on meeting technical requirements and staying within budget and time constraints.
Conclusion
The product development life cycle (PDLC) is a process that describes the stages a product goes through, from ideation to launch and beyond. It consists of several distinct phases, each with its own set of objectives, deliverables, and stakeholders. The PDLC begins with idea generation, followed by research and analysis, product design, development, testing, and launch. After launch, the product enters the post-launch phase, which includes ongoing support, maintenance, and eventual retirement. The PDLC is essential for organizations to ensure that products are developed efficiently and effectively, meet customer needs, and achieve business goals. By following a structured PDLC, companies can improve their chances of success and reduce the risks associated with product development. The goal of a software development company is to provide clients with high-quality software products that meet their specific needs and requirements.

2023.03.29 12:26 StepwiseUndrape574 GTA 6 Still AWOL, But Rockstar Announces Big Updates For GTA Online And Red Dead Online
Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is an elusive beast that has eluded [official] detection for years. The current ābig dogā Grand Theft Auto V was first released way back in September 2013, and has been available across two console generations (Xbox 360/PS3 and Xbox One/PS4). It will even be available natively on next-generation Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 consoles, which is quite unprecedented in the gaming realm. So, while Rockstar seems reticent to just letting us wait in agony for any news on GTA 6, it is at least giving us some new updates on its two current hot properties: GTA Online and Red Dead Online.
In the case of the incredibly popular (and highly lucrative) GTA Online, Rockstar says that a big āsummer updateā is coming for gamers with a āfun mix of diverseā content to partake in. Even more interesting is the fact that the developers indicate that its ābiggest update everā is coming before the end of 2020. That update will include new Heists that will take place in a completely new location, which has definitely piqued our interests.
red dead online As for Red Dead Online, its next big update is actually arriving next week; on July 28th to be exact. Red Dead Online hasnāt exactly been teaming with new content, as the last big update for the online component of Red Dead Redemption 2 dropped way back in December 2019. However, Rockstar is promising a new Frontier Pursuit mode with a focus on ānaturalismā and a new battle pass-type component, which is conveniently named Outlaw Pass. Finally, Rockstar says that it has addressed tons of bugs with the game and has taken community feedback to heart with this release, which is definitely appreciated.
In addition to the game updates on the way, Rockstar also took the time to address the well-being of its online communities. āWe are also committed to ensuring that our games are fun for everyone and as safe as possible from modders, cheaters, hackers, and those who seek to harass other players,ā said the company in its blog post.
āSo far this year, we have taken action on hundreds of thousands of players caught violating community rules across both games. Please help us keep our communities safe and fun by reporting any sort of cheating either directly in-game or via our dedicated web reporting tools for both Red Dead Online and GTA Online.ā
It's good to see that Rockstar is cracking down on those looking to spoil the fun for everyone, and its methods for ātaking outā such offenders is among the best in the industry.

2023.03.29 12:26 kenbay63 Review after several weeks of use-
Pros: Makes phenomenal images and have used it extensively to enhance or "fix" images from other generators. Cons: Mindnumbingly slow. The countdown "timer" will drive you batshit crazy as it gets down to 10 seconds or so, then starts over at 25 seconds, over and over again. And there is zero contact information anywhere in case of any questions or problems. No emails or "contact us" prompts anywhere. Blogs or any other signs of ownership or even life seem to have stopped several weeks ago (including responses at this subreddit). Ironically, would still recommend freewayml as the feature set and image generations are sometimes stellar and hard to beat.

2023.03.29 12:26 Zacman_05 I just don't know what to do anymore.
Hello. I'm Zac, I'm 19, and I just don't want to be here anymore. I feel like I'm not meant to be here in life. Like all I do is work come home and boot up my pc and play games to try an distract myself from reality but once I go to bed that's when my thoughts hit me and remind me that I'm useless and a disappointment and I'm worthless.
For an example. I was stupid down in life and I met this girl and I instantly fell for her because we had almost everything in common and we used to say to each other that "we are the same person" I loved her so ungodly much but she hid her emotions from me untell I finally asked her out and she said yes. I was so happy we used to hang out and cuddle for hours and one day she disappeared and a week went by I was freaked out and got fed up and went to her house to make sure she was okay and I got there and she broke up with me and it destroyed me. But I just tried to keep going and worked to keep my mind off things but me and her were talking again and hanging out again. I was happy again. I was able to hold her in my arms just love her and make her happy. But she disappeared again and I just worked and kept my mind of thing and then we talked every now and again and then I found out that when she would dissappear she was talking to another dude. So now I feel like I'm just here to be please and be hurt and broken. This isn't the only reason if I told all my past I'd have to make three more post and at that point I might as well write a book. If you made it this far then thank you, and I love you, and I hope everything works out for you in life. But I'm just losing hope and I've been trying to do things to make me happy but nothing works its been 9 years going on 10 and I still have no hope...

2023.03.29 12:25 throwaway917160 i canāt sleep
even if i take medicine to make me tired, i always end up waking up in the middle of the night multiple times from panic.
this is whatās currently happening. i went to sleep 4 hours ago, and i just woke up and shot up awake thinking about how iām going to die some day.
that gives me EXTREME anxiety which is an issue on its own, but i just want to be able to sleep again and live my life as normal. i used to not be woken up by these intrusive thoughts and i used to never think about it, but now i canāt. i am miserable and really need help.
i think my constant lack of sleep is messing up other things in my life, like i now have a consistently high heart rate that i canāt do anything about. it never goes down unless i take a beta blocker.
i just want to be normal and happy again, i want nice quality sleep, i want to live without worry. iām so sad.

2023.03.29 12:25 Bigfoop Lowkey gaming laptop with good cooling ($750 USD max, looking for potential sale prices)
Budget: (US) $750 max (laptops in the $800-1000 range potentially on a sale)
Condition preference: new, but open to open-box or refurbished if the laptop meets my needs
- No need for a 2-in-1, but I wouldn't mind
- I don't mind plastic, but would like a sturdy feeling laptop
- Weight matters, would like this to be an average weight or even lightweight laptop if possible, though if it cannot be light and cool efficiently I understand. As long as it isn't terribly bulky/thick
- Looking for good enough performance for esports titles, Medium settings in games. Anything better is a plus but not a must
- I'm coming from an M1 macbook air, so if I could find something with "good" battery life for a gaming laptop that'd be great
Screen size: 14 to 15.6", ideally with slim bezels if possible
Activities, Programs, Games: General browsing/content consumption, discord calls while streaming games (valorant, CoD MW2, Monster Hunter Rise, Fortnite)
- Gaming quality req: Ideally Medium-High graphics, realistically Medium for the non esports games and very smooth performance on Low for valorant/fortnite
Specific Requirements: Average/above average screen quality, GOOD cooling that's on the quieter end, decent size trackpad, preferred to have no annoying software to manage RGB
Additionally, I've been looking at the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3, which appears to mostly fit all of the qualities I am looking for (as low as $600 open box or refurb). Reviews claim cooling on the 2022 model with rear exhaust for the fans is good, but if there are other laptops that can accomplish what this one can do with better battery and performance I'd love to hear suggestions
I'm not big on gaudy gamer aesthetics, so similarly toned down laptop designs are preferred
Thanks!

2023.03.29 12:25 Kazzle87 question about "short farming" positions
hi
someone recently mentioned the strategy called "short farming" to me. Which goes like this: You are expecting, lets say, MATIC to go down in price in the near future. Then you borrow MATIC and put that in a LP position. Lets say MATIC/WETH.
Thats how it was preseted to me. My question is: a) If I put the borrowed MATIC in a LP position, then I (theoretically) still hold them and participate in the downfall of its price b)Shouldn't I have to sell the borrowed MATIC immediately and rebuy them after the anticipated price drop (and close the borrow position) to have this really be a "short" and make the pricedrop of MATIC positiv for me.
I dont really get the logic behind this strategy. Pls help me understand. Is it just because I farm with "borrowed" tokens?

2023.03.29 12:25 Alicia-faith Three motivational factors for academic success.
| https://preview.redd.it/jtlcua1cnnqa1.jpg?width=298&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d8b72ce27d52d67ba30700c48eba3a3ecf0af87a Motivation is a key factor in academic success and can be the difference between passing and failing. It is important for students to stay motivated throughout their educational journey, as it will help them to reach their full potential and achieve their goals. Students need to understand the three motivational factors for academic success: intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and self-regulation. Intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation refers to a student's internal drive or desire to learn. This type of motivation will come from within the student as they are intrinsically interested in learning more about a particular subject. Examples of things that can promote intrinsic motivation include curiosity and passion for a topic, feeling competent at mastering skills, setting challenging yet achievable goals, having meaningful relationships with instructors, seeking feedback on peer or instructor progress, and being recognized for accomplishments through awards or grants etc. Intrinsically motivated students tend to have higher levels of enthusiasm towards learning which contributes significantly towards understanding complex topics better and achieving better grades in classes. Extrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation refers to external rewards that motivate someone's behaviour, such as money or positive reinforcement from others when an individual performs well on an assignment or exam. Such motivations make outcomes much more rewarding than if they were achieved without any external rewards because people recognize how hard they worked for those results and often feel good about themselves afterwards, which helps further increase the confidence level associated with different courses/subjects. Extrinsic motivations often work best when combined with intrinsic ones - this way, individuals truly start feeling passionate about their studies instead of merely doing them only because there are certain expectations surrounding what needs completing to receive monetary compensation/rewards later on down the line. Self_regulation. Students need self-control over their behaviour to remain productive and focus on the right tasks, eventually leading to completing assignments. Self-regulated learners typically take time out during lectures/classes ā use breaks wisely while remaining aware of one's environment, analyze information presented critically before making decisions regarding its applicability within given contexts, maintain realistic expectations about one's performance capabilities and restructure negative thinking patterns wherever necessary; all these steps culminate into more organized thought processes leading up towards greater focus and productivity, especially during times where distractions seem imminent! In conclusion, successful study habits require careful consideration and evaluation of both internal and external motivators, along with effective strategies developed within oneself, to prevent distractions from impeding academic growth prospects! submitted by Alicia-faith to codewiseguys [link] [comments] |
2023.03.29 12:25 R0GUE_BULLET Food
Console player here. Have been playing on the One since Xbox launch.
I have had my world reset to Day 1 four different times. After all of the building, upgrading, and resource gathering I have finally learned that food, yes food, is the most important resource in this game.
I've reset more times than most people would, but I've learned an extremely valuable lesson I feel I need to share with my fellow Xbox players. And that is to CARRY SEEDS WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES.
Carrots, turnips, onions. Whatever. The more difficult content in the game is locked behind your health and stamina levels and your food is a huge part of it.
You can carry 100 of each seed and as long as you have a cultivator with you, you can start or join any world and get a good start.
I hope this might help someone the way it could've helped me. To be fair, it shouldn't have been an issue in the first place but it is what it is. This is the best game I've played in years and I won't let a little thing like total world deletion slow me down.
TL;DR: console players keep veggie seeds on you before you log out.

2023.03.29 12:25 greg0525 Work to Dream
When the circumstances around us become desperate and hopeless, it's natural to seek refuge in our dreams and aspirations. In times of hardship and uncertainty, having a dream to hold onto can provide a sense of hope and purpose, and can serve as a source of motivation to keep pushing forward. In some cases, we may be willing to pay anything for a dream that we can resort to. In this story, Jack is one of those who devote their lives to his desires.
***
The sun was shining down on the garden as the family fired up the grill for their barbecue. The sweet smell of marinated meat filled the air, and the sound of laughter echoed throughout the yard. The son and daughter ran around the garden, playing tag and chasing each other.
The father stood by the grill, flipping burgers and hot dogs with a huge smile on his face. The mother was busy setting up the outdoor table, arranging plates and glasses and silverware.
Max ran up to Jack and asked, "Dad, can I help you with the burgers?"
"Sure, Max," Jack replied. "Just be careful not to burn yourself."
As Max took over the grilling duties, Lily tugged on Sarah's shirt. "Mommy, can I make the salad?" she asked.
"Of course, Lily," Sarah said, passing her a bowl of chopped vegetables. "Just remember to wash your hands first."
While Max and Lily helped with the food, Jack and Sarah chatted about their plans for the upcoming vacation. "I was thinking we could rent a cabin by the lake," Sarah suggested.
"That sounds like a great idea," Jack replied. "The kids would love it."
āDo you think you will need to do overtime for that?ā Sarah asked.
āIām afraid so. But donāt worry about that,ā Jack replied.
Just then, Max ran over to the table, a huge grin on his face. "Dad, can we play a game of catch after lunch?" he asked.
"Sure thing, Max," Jack said, handing him a cold soda. "Just let me finish up these burgers first."
As they all sat down to enjoy their meal, Lily piped up. "Can we do this again next weekend, Mommy and Daddy?"
"Absolutely, sweetie," Sarah replied, ruffling her daughter's hair. "We'll have another barbecue."
Suddenly, Jack's eyes darted to his wristwatch, a look of worry on his face.
Sarah noticed and asked, "What's wrong? How much time do you have left?"
Jack let out a sigh and said, "We only have an hour and a half left until I have to leave."
Sarah frowned. "That's not much time. Then letās just enjoy the moments we have left."
As the family gathered around the table, they shared stories and jokes, passing around dishes of potato salad and baked beans. Max and Lily took turns showing off their latest drawings and school projects, and their parents praised their creativity and hard work.
As Jack and Sarah sat on the blanket, enjoying the warm sun on their faces, Snowy appeared, wagging her tail with excitement. She knew that where there was food, there was always a chance for a tasty bite. Jack couldn't resist her cute face and tossed her a few pieces of meat from the barbecue. Snowy devoured them eagerly, and then lay down next to them, looking content.
After the meal, the children ran around the garden, laughing and playing games. Sarah laid out a blanket on the grass, and Jack sat next to her, putting his arm around her. At that moment, the family was at peace, surrounded by love and warmth and the simple joys of life.
"Do you think you could find another job that pays more?" Sarah asked, her voice tinged with worry.
"It's impossible. All jobs are the same, and all jobs pay the same," Jack replied, his expression downcast.
"I wish we could spend more time together," Sarah said wistfully.
"I'll try to do more overtime," Jack said, his voice hopeful.
"That's a good idea," Sarah replied, nodding her head in agreement.
Jack checked his watch and saw that there was less than half an hour left before he had to leave. He sighed, wishing he could stay longer with his family. Snowy seemed to sense his mood and nuzzled up to him, trying to comfort him in her own way.
"Thanks for a wonderful day, honey," Jack said, giving Sarah a kiss on the cheek.
"It was lovely, and hopefully we could do this more often," Sarah replied a hint of sadness in her voice.
The sun was still shining bright, and a gentle breeze blew through the garden, rustling the leaves of the tall trees that surrounded the property.
Sarah sighed. "I know. The kids are going to be so disappointed."
Just then, Max and Lilly came running up to them, laughing and playing. They were both dressed in their favorite summer clothes, ready for a day of fun in the sun.
"Daddy, can you play with us today?" Max asked, looking up at his father with big, pleading eyes.
"I'm sorry, buddy," Jack replied, ruffling his son's hair. "I have to go to work."
Lilly's face fell, and she looked up at her father with a sad expression. "But we want you to stay and play with us."
Jack knelt down and put his arms around his children. "I know, sweetie, and I wish I could. But I promise I'll make it up to you later. We'll have a big family day on Saturday, okay?"
Max and Lilly smiled, and Sarah hugged them all. "We'll miss you, Jack," she said softly.
"I'll miss you too," Jack replied, kissing his wife on the cheek. "But I'll be back before you know it."
With a heavy heart, Jack got up from the blanket.
"Bye, Daddy," Max and Lilly called out, their voices full of emotion.
"Bye, kids," Jack replied, his voice tinged with sadness. "I love you all."
And then, he disappeared into thin air.
***
The sleek white walls of the roomās interior shone brightly in the artificial lighting. The hundreds of cylindrical pods lined the walls, each with a transparent dome on top that revealed the occupants within. In each pod was a person, some of whose eyes were closed, while others were waking up.
Then a robotic female sound spoke up from the speaker of his capsule:
YOUR SESSION IS OVER. TO CONTINUE YOUR VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE, PLEASE TOP UP YOUR SESSION WITH ADDITIONAL WORKING HOURS. PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR MINIMUM SESSION TIME IS 1 HOUR, WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO 8 WORKING HOURS IN THE VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT. THANK YOU FOR USING OUR VIRTUAL REALITY SYSTEM, AND WE HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO ENJOY YOUR EXPERIENCE.
Jack got out of the capsule and headed to work. He exited to the hallway, which stretched ahead, metal walls were painted a neutral gray, with small lights flickering and sparking in the ceiling like stars. The walls were lined with metal panels and pipes, stretching out into the depths of the building. There were some consoles built into the wall, buttons with blinking lights, and transparent glass windows looking out at the limitless barren desert beyond.
After a brisk five-minute walk, he arrived at his workplace and quickly changed into his work clothes. Once he was dressed appropriately, he checked in at the factory to begin his shift.
In the factory, people, and machines intermingled in a chaotic overlap. Thick gray clouds of smoke and dust enveloped the workers in a thick haze, while sparks flew from the ancient machinery like fireflies in the night sky.
The machinery was large and looming, with gears that groan and grind as they rotated, and the metal surfaces were rusted and covered in thick layers of grime. Its automated arms were patched together with pieces of scrap and exposed wires, sparks flashed as they move in jerky motions.
Everything was bathed in a sickly yellow hue, the air was thick with sweat and toil. People of all sizes, shapes, and ages worked tirelessly at the assembly lines, their clothes caked with years of dirt and grime, their faces glistening with sweat in the overhead lights.
The factory hummed with a low, constant rumble of activity. The whirring of machines and the clanging of metal on a metal mix with the shouts of workers, orders barked out from foremen over the din of industrial noise. The rumbling motors and clanking gears of the machines fill the air, punctuated by the hisses of steam pipes and the occasional shouting from workers. The whirring saws, thudding hammers, and screeching belts create a nonstop cacophony of noise. The factory stank of sweat, oil-burnt metal, rust, smoke, and burning rubber that lingered in the air.
They were all working to go back to their dreams. Just like Jack, they all knew that these dreams would never become a reality.

2023.03.29 12:25 ElPatitoNegro The Wealth Barrier in Crypto Staking: How it's Excluding the Poor and Benefiting Centralized Exchanges
Hey everyone,
I've been in the crypto game for a while now, and something that's been bothering me lately is the wealth barrier that exists when it comes to staking your own crypto. For those who don't know, staking is the process of holding cryptocurrency in a wallet and using it to validate transactions on the blockchain. By doing so, you earn a percentage of the transaction fees as a reward.
However, in order to stake your own crypto, you need to meet certain requirements that can be incredibly prohibitive for the average person. For example, to stake alone on Ethereum, you need to hold at least 32 ETH, which at the time of writing is worth over $57,600. And it's not just Ethereum - other popular cryptocurrencies like Polkadot (you need about 300 DOT to skate on your Ledger) also require you to hold significant amounts in order to stake.
This is a huge problem for people from poorer countries who don't have the means to accumulate large amounts of crypto. It's incredibly unfair that only the wealthy can participate in staking and reap the rewards that come with it. This wealth barrier also benefits centralized exchanges, which can offer staking services to their customers, but at a cost. This only serves to further centralize the crypto industry and benefit those who already have the most power and wealth.
I think it's time for us as a community to start discussing this issue and finding ways to make staking more accessible to everyone. Whether that's through lowering the minimum requirements, creating staking pools for smaller holders, or something else entirely, we need to find a way to break down this barrier and make crypto more equitable for all.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this sparks some discussion!

2023.03.29 12:24 odd_waytotakeit Am I being unreasonable [update]
Hello all,
My wife asked our inconsiderate neighbor if he could turn down his music and he did. But then when it came to the part "Suck my dick" he maxed the volume and turned it down. My wife does some work from home. And was in a zoom meeting.
Heard a knock at the door and it was his wife and his daughter.
Daughter: my dad works all week and on the weekend he can have his music loud. If you wanna call the landlord go ahead. He can have it on until 10pm.
The Mom: He works 50 hours a week!
My wife: I work from home. So his music is disturbing me and my meetings. Daughter: Oh we can hear you walking around (our units are 2 stories. The only thing is our bedroom and part of our kitchen is above their garage). She continues to tell her that when we go outside to walk our dog late at night (one last walk before bed). Their dog starts barking and it wakes them up.
My wife said we would be more careful. And if there is anything else we are doing to disturb them, just let us know. But when we asked again about his music...
Daughter: If you need the music lowered come ask us. Because my dad doesn't yell at women. And today is his birthday and we will have music.
My wife was left dumbfounded. Unfortunately I wasn't home. But you can bet the next time it happened I asked him to turn it down. No need to give in to misogyny. He ignored me. I knocked at their door no one answered. I emailed the landlord. That did seem to work.
But last Friday morning he started using his power washer while having his music blasting at 7:30am. My wife was setting up her zoom class. She teaches a hybrid class and has the privilege of working from home a few days out of the semester. I said to him we are trying to work. We said "me too I'm working too". Well turns out he was cleaning his backyard because they were hosting another bday party. Party started going around 6:30pm and to their credit stopped at 10pm.
Constantly impressed at the level of immaturity coming from our neighbors.

2023.03.29 12:24 genericdude999 Easy repair for telescoping tarp pole that keeps bending
Like this. Many years ago a friend tripped and fell on it on a camping trip, and bent the hell out of it. We straightened it out, but the aluminum had "yielded" so it was a pipe cleaner after that - bent again every time I used it.
It was the skinny upper section that was bending and I noticed the ID was slightly larger than some half inch dowel rod I had. So I squirted in a lot of Gorilla Glue then inserted the dowel while rotating to spread the glue. Gorilla Glue expands like crazy, so I duct taped the dowel in so it wouldn't be pushed out then left it hanging outside overnight so the glue foam could drip out without messing anything up.
Wow, is it stiff now. Before it felt like very soft aluminum that would take a bend from the slightest pressure, now it feels like a skinny steel rod. The dowel was thin and flexy too before I glued it in, so it's something about the two materials being tightly bonded down inside that makes it stiffer than the sum of the two. I didn't even have a continuous piece of dowel long enough. There's actually two pieces in there and it makes no difference.
Absolute dirt cheap repair for a tent pole that keeps bending.

In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Luther: The Fallen Sun. Nearly 5,000 years have passed, and Luther: The Fallen Sun has gone from man to myth to legend. Now free, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern-day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher, and Cyclone.
Production companies : Warner Bros. Pictures.
At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Dwayne āThe Rockā Johnson had other people raising eyebrows when he said that his long-awaited superhero debut in Luther: The Fallen Sun would be the beginning of āa new eraā for the DC Extended Universe naturally followed: What did he mean? And what would that kind of reset mean for the remainder of DCEU's roster, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the rest of the Justice League, Suicide Squad, Shazam and so
Luther: The Fallen Sun neared theaters, though, Johnson clarified that statement in a recent sit-down with Yahoo Entertainment (watch above).
āI feel like this is our opportunity now to expand the DC Universe and what we have in Luther: The Fallen Sun, which I think is really cool just as a fan, is we introduce five new superheroes to the world,ā Johnson tells us. Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell's Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate, who together comprise the Justice Society.) āOne anti-hero.ā (That would be DJ's Luther: The Fallen Sun.)
āAnd what an opportunity. The Justice Society pre-dated the Justice League. So opportunity, expand out the universe, in my mind⦠all these characters interact. That's why you see in Luther: The Fallen Sun, we acknowledge everyone: Batman , Superman , Wonder Woman, Flash, we acknowledge everybody.There's also some Easter eggs in there,
too.So that's what I meant by the resetting. Maybe resetting' wasn't a good term.only
one can claim to be the most powerful superhero .And Johnson, when gently pressed, says it's his indestructible, 5,000-year-old Kahndaqi warrior also known as Teth-Adam, that is the most powerful superhero in any universe, DC, Marvel or otherwise
"By the way, it's not hyperbole because we made the movie."And we made him this powerful.
There's nothing so wrong with āLuther: The Fallen Sunā that it should be avoided, but nothingābesides the appealing presence of Dwayne Johnsonāthat makes it worth rushing out to see. spectacles that have more or less taken over studio filmmaking, but it accumulates the genre'sāand the business'sābad habits into a single two- hour-plus package, and only hints at the format's occasional pleasures. āLuther: The Fallen Sunā feels like a place-filler for a movie that's remaining to be made, but, in its bare and shrugged-off sufficiency, it does one positive thing that, if nothing else, at least accounts for its success: for all the churning action and elaborately jerry-rigged plot, there's little to distract from the movie's pedestal-like display of Johnson, its real-life superhero.
It's no less numbing to find material meant for children retconned for adultsāand, in the process, for most of the naĆÆve delight to be leached out, and for any serious concerns to be shoehorned in and then waved away with dazzle and noise. Luther: The Fallen Sunā offers a moral realm that draws no lines, a personal one of simplistic stakes, a political one that suggests any interpretation, an audiovisual one that rehashes long-familiar tropes and repackages overused devices for a commercial experiment that might as well wear its import as its title. When I was in Paris in 1983, Jerry Lewisāyes, they really did love him thereāhad a new movie in theaters. You're Crazy, Jerry."Luther: The Fallen Sun " could be retitled 'You're a Superhero, Dwayne'āit's the marketing team's PowerPoint presentation extended to feature length.
In addition to being Johnson's DC Universe debut, āLuther: The Fallen Sunā is also notable for marking the return of Henry Cavill's Superman. The cameo is likely to set up future showdowns between the two characters, but Hodge was completely unaware of it until he saw the film.
āThey kept that all the way under wraps, and I didn't know until maybe a day or two before the premiere,ā he recently said Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023) FULLMOVIE ONLINE
Is Luther: The Fallen Sun Available On Hulu?Viewers are saying that they want to view the new TV show Luther: The Fallen Sun on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.
Is Luther: The Fallen Sun Streaming on Disney Plus?
Unfortunately, Luther: The Fallen Sun is not currently available to stream on Disney Plus and it's not expected that the film will release on Disney Plus until late December at the absolute earliest.
While Disney eventually releases its various studios' films on Disney Plus for subscribers to watch via its streaming platform, most major releases don't arrive on Disney Plus until at least 45-60 days after the film's theatrical release.
Luther: The Fallen Sun has finally ended the box office blues. It will be a close call, but based on the estimates, the year's biggest opener remains Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with its $187 million start. Nonetheless, Wakanda Forever's $180 million opening is a huge one, being the biggest ever for the month of November (beating the $158 million of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), the second biggest of the year, and the 13th biggest of all time (though it could go up or down a few slots once the actuals come out). It led an overall weekend box office of $208 million, which is the fourth biggest of the year and the biggest by a long shot of the past four months, with no other weekend since July 8 -10 even going above $133 million.
This isn't the $202 million opening that we saw from Black Panther in February 2018, nor should we expect the amazing legs that were able to get that film to an astonishing $700 million. With that said, expect it to perform strong throughout the holiday season, likely repeating the five-weekend number-one streak that the first film had, and it shouldn't have any trouble becoming the second highest grossing film of the year so far, beating the $411 million cume of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The audience response is strong, with the A CinemaScore falling below the first film's A+ but bouncing back from the B+'s earned by Doctor Strange 2 and Thor: Love and Thunder, which ranked among the worst for the MCU. improvement over the recent franchise installations,with the aforementioned films coming in at 74% and 64% respectively on Rotten Tomatoes, both at the lower end for Marvel films, while Wakanda Forever's 84% āāāis closer to franchise norms, though not meeting the high bar set by the first Black Panther's 96%.
The sequel opened to $150 million internationally, which Disney reports is 4% ahead of the first film when comparing like for likes at current exchange rates. Overall, the global cume comes to $330 million. Can it become the year's third film to make it past $1 billion worldwide despite China and Russia, which made up around $124 million of the first film's $682 million international box office, being out of play? It may be tough, but it's not impossible. Legging out past $500 million is plausible on the domestic front (that would be a multiplier of at least 2.7), and another $500 million abroad would be a drop of around $58 million from the original after excluding the two MIA markets. It'd be another story if audiences didn't love the film,but the positive reception suggests that Wakanda Forever will outperform the legs on this year's earlier MCU titles (Multiverse of Madness and Love and Thunder had multipliers of 2.2 and 2.3 respectively).
As for the rest of the box office, there's little to get excited about, with nothing else grossing above $10 million as Hollywood shied away from releasing anything significant not just this weekend but also over the previous two weekends. When Black Panther opened in 2018, there was no counterprogramming that opened the same weekend, but Peter Rabbit and Fifty Shades Freed were in their second weekends and took second and third with $17.5 million and $17.3 million respectively. That weekend had an overall cume of $287 million compared to $208 million this weekend Take away the $22 million gap between the two Black Panther films and there's still a $57 million gap between the two weekends. The difference may not feel that large when a mega blockbuster is propping up the grosses,but the contrast is harsher when the mid-level films are the entire box office as we saw in recent months.
Luther: The Fallen Sun, which is the biggest grosser of the rough post-summer, pre-Wakanda Forever season, came in second with just $8.6 million. Despite the blockbuster competition that arrived in its fourth weekend, the numbers didn't totally collapse, dropping 53 % for a cume of $151 million. Worldwide it is at $352 million, which isn't a great cume as the grosses start to wind down considering its $200 million budget. Still, it's the biggest of any film since Thor: Love and Thunder, though Wakanda Forever will overtake it any day now.
Luther: The Fallen Sun came in third place in its fourth weekend, down 29% with $6.1 million, emerging as one of the season's most durable grossers and one of the year's few bright spots when it comes to films for adults. The domestic cume is $56.5 million Fourth place went to Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, which had a negligible drop of 5% for a $3.2 million sixth weekend and $40.8 million cume., in fact )
, which isn't surprising considering it's the only family film on the market, and it's close to grossing four times its $11.4 million opening. Still, the $72.6 million worldwide cume is soft given the $50 million budget , though a number of international markets have yet to open.
Finishing up the top five is Smile, which had its biggest weekend drop yet, falling 42% for a $2.3 million seventh weekend. Of course, that's no reason to frown for the horror film, which has a domestic cume of $103 million and global cume of $ 210 million from a budget of just $20 million.
Luther: The Fallen Sun has raised over ā¹900 crore gross at the global box office, Yash Raj Films has shared in a press note. According to a report, YRF said that the Siddharth Anand directorial raised ā¹5.90 crore nett in India on its third Friday. Luther: The Fallen Sun, a Yash Raj Films (YRF) project, released in theatres on January 25. (Also Read Ronnie Screwvala says Luther: The Fallen Sun will never beat Dangal box office collection)

"The total worldwide gross is an incredible ā¹901 crore (India gross: ā¹558.40 crore, overseas: ā¹342.60 crore)" the studio said as quoted by news agency ANI. YRF also said that Luther: The Fallen Sun has become the highest-grossing Hindi film worldwide in the history of Hindi cinema.

It added that overseas the gross box office collection is ā¹343 crore. YRF captioned the post, "Can't get enough of all the love for Luther: The Fallen Sun."
In a behind-the-scenes video released by YRF, Shah Rukh had said recently, āI think this genre of film nobody knows better than Siddharth. I am working with him for the first time. He knows this kind of cinema very well. I just love the world that Siddharth makes. It's an action film that is close to my heart. I think it is made with a lot of goodness by a lot of good people."
"I think it's cinematic, which is the call of the day. It's a film you want to watch on a big screen. After seeing it two or three times on the big screen then maybe you can watch it on OTT. But before that watch it on the big screen. I think it's fun, happy, good looking. I think technically quite forward, lovely locations, lovely songs, beautiful people. I think the action is really nice," he had added.
Luther: The Fallen Sun is the fourth movie in YRF's ambitious spy universe, following Salman Khan's Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), and War (2019), featuring Hrithik Rosh

2023.03.29 12:24 writtenwithwords Confused
I (F23) broke up with my ex-boyfriend (M24) about two months ago. I broke up with him because he āconfessedā that he has been helping a friend from work pay for transgender escorts but I found messages in his phone over a year ago that makes it looks like he was trying to get these escorts for himself rather than a friend.
I was blindsided for four years so I decided to end it. I made peace about letting him go and moving on because he did so many things to disrespect me as a woman (commenting on random females pics on Twitter, calling me fat when birth control caused me to gain weight, giving me an STD, and verbally abusing me).
Moving on, we tried to be āfriendsā for about a month or probably a couple weeks I should say, but he was trying to make small hints that he wanted us to get back together because it would take him a long time to find someone else, etc.
I decided to block him on his birthday (great birthday gift lol) early this month. Iām not sure when he noticed, but he tried to message me through email twice & once on Instagram last Thursday evening. I blocked him on all of it after all three attempts were made. I even deleted my email he was sending emails to (I wanted to get rid of that email anyways).
My sister advised for me to go ahead and see what he wanted. I unblocked his number to see what he wanted but received no response within 10 minutes so I blocked him again (he said he only needed 10 minutes).
The awkward part of all this is that I work with his mother, and the job is 15 minutes from his house. That being said, I thought he was going to show up to my job this past Sunday (because she didnāt work that day), but he didnāt.
However, I received flowers at my door step yesterday afternoon while I was walking the neighborhood with my mother. No note or anything - just a receipt. My mom swears down they couldnāt have been for her so part of me assumes it was him only because they were purple & yellow flowers (my favorite color is purple).
What should I do about this? I blocked him and have been distancing myself from his mom at work because I need to heal so I can move on. He wasnāt helping the situation and neither was she.
I want to leave this job but itās hard right now because I canāt find nothing that pays at the same rate by my house. I love what I do but I hate that she still works here and I know she wonāt quit anytime soon so Iām stuck with her until I find a new job.
Iām just not sure why would he want to contact me now. There is nothing to discuss. He knows he hurt me and took advantage of me. He is well aware and admitted that when I chose to break up with him.
Even if he was trying to confess what he really did, I donāt need it. I wanted an apology but this man never knew how to apologize anyways so there was no point of me wanting that.
If anyone has any advice to provide me, I would appreciate it.

2023.03.29 12:24 Syracusee Chris vs Declan in Summer Reign
I am doing a re-read of the whole series and just listened to one of my least favorite chapters of this series and wondered what other think about it. Spoilers below
I'm talking about the chapter where Jetta is taken hostage by a black dog and the FBI waltzed on the scene guns blazing with new spelled bullets. They end up shooting Awasos which makes Chris hulk out, a few minutes later after Krupp makes the mistake of forcing Declan into letting the hostage out of the ground and her agent gets mauled, Stacia subdues the Black Dog by holding his neck between her teeth, Krupp tells her agents to get ready to shoot if Stacia hurts the suspect which escalates the situation and makes Declan throw up shields and hold lightening in one hand, Grim tells the agents to stand down and takes away their weapons but somehow doesn't see Krupp pulling another sidearm, instead gets into Declans face and proceeds to try and maul him, it all ends when Stacia takes advantage of Declans trust in her to choke him out. After he wakes up Omega basically says he lacked logic and then Declan proceeds to apologize to everyone even though he never actually used lethal force and never has other then when he was 10.
This scene really threw me for a loop for first time I read it, and it's when I really felt Declan needed to part ways with the Demidova team that has never really trusted him, and possibly get some space from Stacia to let her think about her betrayal of trust, but instead just let himself be the scapegoat of this situation and forgave Stacia immediately. What did the rest of this community think when they read it for the first time?

2023.03.29 12:23 StepwiseUndrape574 Surge In Carjackings Has A Chicago Politician Calling For A Grand Theft Auto Game Ban
Violence is on the rise in Chicago, and lawmakers are looking for ways to drive those numbers back down. One stat that has drawn attention in recent weeks is the city's number of carjackings. According to Chicago police, carjacking surged by 134 percent for 2020, bringing the total to 1,415. Rep. Marcus Evans Jr. (D), whose district covers Chicago's South Side, wants a sales ban to minors on violent video games like Grand Theft Auto. Evans is proposing an amendment to an existing 2012 law that prevents the sale of violent video games to minors. Illinois House Bill 3531 (HB3531) has been updated to add the following language:
Modifies the definition of "violent video game" to mean a video game that allows a user or player to control a character within the video game that is encouraged to perpetuate human-on-human violence in which the player kills or otherwise causes serious physical or psychological harm to another human or an animal...
Modifies the definition of "serious physical harm" to include psychological harm and child abuse, sexual abuse, animal abuse, domestic violence, violence against women, or motor vehicle theft with a driver or passenger present inside the vehicle when the theft begins.
The above-bolded text is pertinent to Grand Theft Auto, a widely popular game franchise that allows you to perform carjackings (among other violent and heinous acts). However, what's interesting is that games like Grand Theft Auto and its ilk have been around for decades; this is nothing new. A game like Grand Theft Auto alone couldn't possibly be responsible for the rise in the city's carjackings. Still, lawmakers and city officials are seemingly trying to tie the young ages of some of the carjacking suspects with the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic means that many children are at home, spending more time playing video games.
grand theft auto carjacking The youngest [recent] carjacking suspect was just 12 years old, and a 14-year-old was arrested in January for "taking part in multiple carjackings," according to Fox News.
"I feel like this game has become a huge issue in this spectrum," said Walker in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times. "When you compare the two, you see harsh similarities as it relates to these carjackings."
As a counterpoint to the rumblings in Chicago, a decade-long study concluded that this is no credible link between kids playing violent video games and, in-turn exhibiting violent behavior.
