2023.06.07 11:48 SpecialistNo1435 1/- Naked mole rats and there extreme uniqueness genuinely you might wanna take a peak. I talk about their division of labor, cooperative care, communication, aspects of biology. I’m only talking about the most interesting ones to me.

(Remember in all this there almost 100% blind)
Now this will be multiple posts as i can’t put out the amount of info i want too in just one if your interested in one of the other ones go to my page posts and they will be the first ones at the top
What i talk about in each part so you can see if your interested in any:
Division Of Labor - Roles (Queen, soldiers, workers) - Caste system/Hierarchy - A second caste system in workers
Cooperative care: - Roles - Babysitting - Training and socialization - Nursing and grooming - Tending to weak.
Communication: - How they communicate - Each family having there own accents - Tactile signals - Chemical signals
Aspects of biology: - Having evolved an insanely strong cancer resistance - Living to 30 yrs when rodent sized usually die after 2-4 yrs. - Ability to survive with very low oxygen.
(Whichever number is in the title is the part that post is)
  1. Division of labor:
Naked mole rats have a eusocial colony like ants and bees with very efficient work schedules
Queen: Each naked mole rat colony has a single breeding female known as the queen. She is the largest individual in the colony and is responsible for reproduction. The queen is the only female that breeds and gives birth to pups, ensuring the continuation of the colony. The queen also makes the other females reproductive organs stop working with ways like: • Pheromonal inhibition: The queen's pheromones suppress reproductive development and ovulation in subordinate females.
• Social inhibition: The queen's dominant behavior discourages subordinate females from reproducing.
• Behavioral suppression: Subordinate females exhibit non-reproductive behavior, reducing sexual behavior and fertility.
Workers: The majority of naked mole rats in a colony are non-breeding individuals known as workers. These workers are sterile and do not reproduce. They are responsible for maintaining and operating the colony's infrastructure, including tunneling, nest building, foraging, and defense. Workers perform a wide range of tasks and exhibit a division of labor based on their age and size.
Caste system in the workers: The naked mole rat colony has a hierarchical caste system, where workers are divided into three distinct groups based on their size and age: small workers, medium workers, and large workers. • Small workers: The smallest and youngest individuals in the colony, typically around one year old. They are responsible for tasks such as digging new tunnels and chambers, gathering food, and cleaning the nest. They have smaller bodies that enable them to navigate through narrow tunnels efficiently.
• Medium workers: As small workers age and grow, they transition into the medium worker stage. Medium workers are responsible for expanding and maintaining the tunnel system, collecting and storing food, and participating in defense activities. They form the bulk of the worker population.
• Large workers: Large workers are the oldest and largest individuals in the colony. They are responsible for tasks that require more strength and endurance, such as defending the colony against intruders, enlarging the tunnel system, and moving heavy objects. Large workers also participate in foraging expeditions to gather food from outside the colony.
Soldiers: In addition to workers, some naked mole rats specialize in defense and are known as soldiers. Soldiers have larger heads, powerful jaws, and prominent incisor teeth, which they use to protect the colony from predators or intruding mole rats from other colonies. Their primary role is to defend the nest and the rest of the colony members.

2023.06.07 11:47 rockus r/Kerala will join the blackout from June 12-14 in protest of Reddit's API changes that will kill 3rd Party Apps

If you are familiar with the Redditverse, you will see how impactful has been the robust 3rd party scene in Reddit thanks to the APIs. There are a plethora of third party applications used by numerous users over the official website and the mobile app. A lot of users find it easier to use such third party apps over official ones due to many features that include critical accessibility features.
For you greenhorns, this is a pivotal point of Reddit. Reddit grew enormously from the ashes of Digg, which decided to go apeshit with the monetization plan in Digg 4.0, which failed spectacularly in one single day. Reddit was the right community at the right time to benefit from it.
Reddit is a business and business needs cash. It is already one of the biggest websites in the world and gets advertising and user data. Moreover, they also get moderators for free. Reddit has recently restricted NSFW subs from third party apps and is probably rolling from the dough created with that gate. Pricing the APIs at this steep rate is a step too far. Reddit needs to be shown that there are consequences for attempts at blatant profiteering at the expense of communities.
Do they care about our community? We are one of the bigger subreddits in India. They have a product manager specific to India and they have reached out to us before. So I making a statement will send some feedback.
Some copypaste stuff to know more about the situation.

What's going on?

Recently Reddit Inc announced changes to their API which, if enacted, will shut down many, if not all, 3rd party apps that a large number of Redditors use to access and enjoy their favourite communities - this one included. Effectively this means the only way to access reddit on mobile will be through the official app or mobile site.
On May 31 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API - previously this was free, but it will soon be raised to a level that developers of 3rd party apps simply cannot afford, effectively forcing them to shut down forever. More details in posts from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Many people believe 3rd party apps are far superior to the official app, but even if you're not using a 3rd party app yourself these changes are likely to impact the communities you enjoy, with the vast majority of moderation teams relying on 3rd party or self-made tools that utilise Reddit's API (especially in the really big subreddits).
Shutting down these apps basically means many people with vision impairments won't be able to use reddit on mobile, because the official tools just don't have the features they need to be able to use it.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, the changes cast a massive cloud over the future of other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface.
This image provides a bit more info.

What's being planned across the website?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app.
After the 14th... who knows? Unless reddit changes the plan some subs may stay closed, some may close again but for longer, a lot of people will probably leave reddit entirely, and a lot of mods will probably step down. There are a lot of different scenarios that could play out... some people think this could even be the beginning of the end for the entire site.

What can you do?

You can complaint on the Internet as usual, leave negative reviews, create support tickets, boycott reddit yourself and enjoy the real world from 12th-14th, and spread the message to others.

Kerala Specific Info

We will go private from June 12th to June 14th unless there is something catastrophic that needs the subreddit to be active.
Regular transmission will resume afterwards.

2023.06.07 11:47 kathmandu_ Struggling with value

Struggling with value
I didn’t strictly adhere to the cylinder’s proportions (though I probably should have), and instead tried focusing on value. I’ll add that the cast shadow is way off.
That aside, value eludes me, it has always been a struggle for me. I understand that it will take time at first, but I feel that my approach is way off. I see people mention seeing light and dark as shapes, and I kind of get what that means (if someone could elaborate on that, that would surely help), but I often find myself struggling to figure out how to draw the small changes in value. I feel one of the problems is how I start these studies. The little cylinder at the top left shows how I usually start these studies (but on a larger scale), with the plane facing the light left empty, and the receding side and cast shadow filled in. Should I try different mediums and shading techniques (like crosshatching) at this stage? Anyone got kick ass rendering videos and/or courses to suggest for a beginner? Any tips appreciated. Thanks

2023.06.07 11:45 AnimeMixer1 My nat 1 defeated the mimic.

I'm fairly new to DnD, and I just wanted to share my story about how a nat 1 actually helped me win a combat.
So we're 3 players + DM playing at lvl 3. We're a druid (me), a rouge and a warlock, and we're looking for treasure in a mansion belonging to cultists. In one room, the rouge goes to a painting to check if it's worth stealing, only for it to be a mimic, and it and a few other monsters that were hidden attack. After a few rounds, it's just the mimic left, and we're all alive, but at very low health. The mimic has the Warlock grappled, and it's my turn. Out of spell slots, I cast the cantrip Produce Flame. However... Nat 1. The DM explains how I miss so badly I shoot the fire up at the chandelier above us, and the rope holding it up starts to burn. I use my movement to move out of the way, but suddenly think to ask "is it also above the others?" The DM explains that yes, it's also over the rouge and warlock.
And I suddenly had a brainwave.
"Aha, but if it's above the warlock, then it must be above the mimic as well! Since it's currently grappling the warlock, you know."
The DM confirms this, and next up is the rouge. I didn't even need to explain my idea. He ran out from underneath the chandelier and threw a dagger at the flaming rope. We held our breath as he rolled... 4! But with a modifier of +5 it's 9! Is it enough? After a small dramatic pause, the DM says just two words:
"That hits."
The chandelier hits the mimic, and while it also damages the warlock, he takes less damage since the mimic partially shields him, even if inadvertently, and the mimic dies. We all survive the encounter.
As a relatively new player, it was really fun to be able to turn my potentially disastrous dice roll into a win for the party. I'm definitely going to be remembering to take my environment into account for future combat!

The Universal Way of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva- A Public Domain Translation of Chapter 25 of the Lotus Sutra

https://preview.redd.it/zvzzb14mgk4b1.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=78d3b2e3cabaf81554fe7ca27b7e8e50729713aa
The Universal Way of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
The Bodhisattva of Boundless Will arose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, turned towards the Buddha with joined palms and asked: “World Honored One, we yearn to know why the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, He Who Hears and Heeds the Sounds of the World, is titled thus?”
The Buddha replied to Boundless Will: “Virtuous Son! If a multitude of distressed sentient beings, ensnared in myriad sorrows, cry out with one heart the name of Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva will heed their cries and release them from suffering. If those who uphold Avalokitesvara’s name were thrown into a raging inferno, they would, by the astonishing power of the Bodhisattva, be immune from the flames. And if swept away by turbulent tides, they would reach the shallows. Likewise, whenever the many who cross the oceans in search of a fortune in gold, silver, red coral, pearls and precious stones find baneful winds forcing them into perilous or haunted waters, then the whole vessel may be steered to safety if just one among them chants the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. For these reasons, he is honored as He Who Hears and Heeds the Sounds of the World.”
“Furthermore, if soon to be victims of violence cry for Avalokitesvara, the attacking blades shall break and leave them uninjured. Should a mighty host of Yakshas and Rakshasas —vast enough to cover the universe— march forth to torment others, then these fearsome ghosts, upon encountering someone who holds the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, would be unable to even gaze at them with evil eyes, let alone do any harm. And all who are chained and fettered, whether guilty or not, will be freed and their restraints shattered upon invoking the name of Avalokitesvara. Moreover, say a merchant caravan laden with wealth and goods is about to pass through a perilous path surrounded by hoards of marauders—men with hearts hardened by hatred and grievances. If at that time one of the merchants addressed his peers: ‘My good fellows, be not afraid, for let us all chant with one heart the name of Avalokitesvara, the one who bestows fearlessness, and be thus freed from these marauders,’ then the merchants, upon chanting ‘Homage to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva,’ will be released from all danger and be able to see their goods to safety.”
“Boundless Will, the divine powers of Avalokitesvara Mahabodhisattva are ever so glorious. If beings stricken with lust or malice or ignorance often recall the Bodhisattva and cherish his name, they will see their vices recede. Boundless Will, Avalokitesvara possesses such bountiful and penetrating spiritual powers, thus, all beings must keep his name close to their hearts. If a woman wishing for a son prays and makes offerings to Avalokitesvara, she will have a son replete with fortune and wisdom. If she prays for a daughter, she will be blessed with a virtuous daughter of graceful countenance, honored by all. Boundless Will! Avalokitesvara has such awe inspiring powers, sentient beings who reverently pray to him will have not done so in vain, and shall receive endless good fortune. This is why all must receive and keep the name of Avalokitesvara.”
“Boundless Will, say someone faithfully upholds the names of Bodhisattvas as numerous as sand grains in sixty two hundred million Ganges Rivers, and offered bed linens, robes, alms food and medicines to each and every one of them for a lifetime, would not the merit of such a virtuous man or woman be great?”
“Certainly, World Honored One,” was the reply from Boundless Will.
The Buddha continued: “On the other hand, if someone else who holds only the name of Avalokitesvara bows and makes offerings but once to him, the merit and blessings attained will be equal to that of the previous person, and shall last for all time. Boundless Will! The blessings reaped from keeping the name of Avalokitesvara are unlimited and unending.”
The Bodhisattva of Boundless Will then asked the Buddha: “World Honored One, how does Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva tour the Saha world and minister to the masses? What is his way of preaching?”
The Buddha replied: “Virtuous Son, if the inhabitants of a land must meet a Buddha to be liberated, Avalokitesvara will appear in the form of a Buddha and minister to them. He will manifest as a Paccekabuddha to those who have such affinities, and as an Arhat to those who seek one. If people are to be liberated by the Great Brahma King, he will appear as one and preach the Dharma, and if an audience requires the form of the Heavenly Father, he will appear as the Heavenly Father. If beings need to be ministered to by a deva from the Heaven of the Unburdened, he will appear as one, and likewise manifest as a deva from the Greater Heaven of the Unburdened when required. If the need to appear as a Celestial Marshal arises, he will do so and preach in that form. If the form of the Celestial King Kubera is sought for, he will oblige. The same is true for the forms of princes, elders, householders, magistrates, brahmins, monks, nuns, lay devotees, consorts, matrons, youthful sons or pure maidens. He will furthermore appear as any god, dragon, yaksha, gandharva, asura, garuda, kinnara, mahoraga, human or nonhuman. And for those destined to be liberated by a Vajra God, he will manifest accordingly and preach the Dharma to them as a Vajra God.”
“Boundless Will! These are the meritorious deeds of Avalokitesvara, he graces all the lands in myriad different bodies and liberates all. So fail not to single-mindedly make offerings to Avalokitesvara, for it is this Mahabodhisattva who bestows fearlessness in moments of peril. He is known across the Saha world as the one who dispels all dangers and disasters.”
The Bodhisattva of Boundless Will declared: “ World Honored One, I shall now make an offering to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.” As he removed his bejeweled Livery Collar—a treasure equal to a thousand gold staters— and presented it before Avalokitesvara, he said, “O Humane One, please receive this pious offering of pearls and jewels.” Being ever humble, the Bodhisattva declined the gift. In response, the Bodhisattva of Boundless Will beseeched again, “Humane One, please accept this offering out of pity for me!”
At that moment, the Buddha said to Avalokitesvara: “You must accept this pious offering out of compassion for Boundless Will, the four assemblies, and for the gods, dragons, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, mahoragas, humans and nonhumans.” Thus, out of compassion for them all, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva accepted the gift, halved it, and offered a portion each to the Buddha and the Myriad Jeweled Stupa. “Boundless Will! Such is the supreme spiritual power of Avalokitesvara, he who is ever present across the entire Saha World.”
The Bodhisattva of Boundless Will then asked in verse:
“O World Honored One of wondrous countenance,
I now seek once more the origins of this Heir of Buddha,
The One Who Hears And Heeds the Sounds of the World!”
And so, The Eminent One of Excellent Features replied
To Boundless Will in mellifluous verse: “Hear the Ways of
Avalokitesvara, he who manifests in myriad places,
Has resolve deeper than oceans, he who has waited upon
Countless Buddhas over endless eons, and kept the
Great Vows of Purity. I shall now tell of the miracles
Granted to those who hear his name, see his person,
Those who hold his name close to their hearts,
For their many sorrows shall all wither into dust!
Say the murderous plot to push you into a fiery pit,
Abide in Avalokitesvara and the fiery pit will turn into
A delightful pond. Or if you are cast adrift in a mighty
Sea, surrounded by hydras, sea-nymphs and devil whales,
Abide in Avalokitesvara and the shallows shall appear.
If you are pushed off Mount Meru, abide in Avalokitesvara
And you will float in the void like the Sun. Suppose you are
Pursued by hounds to the edge of the Vajra Cliff, abide in
Avalokitesvara and see not one hair harmed. Or if you
Are trapped by extortionists, armed and ready to do harm,
Abide in Avalokitesvara and see forgiveness and mercy
Swell in their hearts. Or if you are ensnared in the laws of
Magistrates and sent to the guillotine, abide in Avalokitesvara
And the blade shall break into pieces; if chained and fettered,
Then the restraints shall be shattered and liberty regained.
If you are victim of the dark arts, of curses and vexes,
Abide in Avalokitesvara and the malice shall backfire
Onto the culprit. And should you meet fearsome
Rakshasas, venomous basilisks and other ghosts, abide in
Avalokitesvara and none would dare haunt you. Or if
You are circled by ferocious beasts, teeth and claws
Long and sharp, abide in Avalokitesvara and see them scatter
Away in every direction. Cobras and scorpions, toxic vapors
And thick smoke, all dissipate when the name
Of Avalokitesvara resounds in the air. And so too
Ominous clouds, striking lightning, hail and rainstorms—
Fading before the powers of Avalokitesvara. The multitude
Of sentient beings, ensnared in myriad sorrows, shall find
Release in the wondrous wisdom of Avalokitesvara, which
Can alleviate all worldly pains and anxieties. Replete with
Divine powers, and forever perfecting his wisdom and ease,
He manifests in all the lands across the ten quarters.
The manifold states of woe, the hells, ghost realms and
Beastly domains, the suffering of birth, old age, illness, and
Death shall all recede. Heeding purity and truth, heeding the
Vast body of wisdom, heeding benevolence and compassion,
May all forever admire him with resolve and praise.
Radiance pure and unblemished, like sagacious solar rays
Dispelling the darkness, able to tame all disasters from wind to
Fire, and illume without bounds the whole universe. He is
The body of benevolence, with thundering virtue, pouring forth
The ambrosia of truth to extinguish the embers of anguish.
If you are mired in prosecutions or caught in the throes of
Battle, abide in Avalokitesvara and all enmity shall vanish.
The wondrous sounds of Avalokitesvara, so pure like
Serene waves, peerless in this world, who could afford
Not to keep his name? Cherishing each chant with true faith,
The pure and sagely Avalokitesvara is your rock in times of
Pain and peril. Replete with merit and eyes of benevolence,
Blessings boundless like the ocean, worthy of reverence!”
In the end, the Bodhisattva Who Shouldered the Earth rose and proclaimed before the Buddha: “O World Honored One, anyone able to hear this sermon on the boundless deeds of Avalokitesvara and his universal works of mercy surely has an abundance of merit.” And as the Buddha spoke this Sutra, the myriad beings in the congregation before Him vowed for Unsurpassed Bodhi.
Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!
Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!
Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!
Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!
Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!
Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!
Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!
Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!
Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!
Homage to the Greatly Compassionate, Greatly Benevolent, Avalokitesvara Mahabodhisattva!

2023.06.07 11:37 uwu_SenpaiSatan When Glorfindel's fëa (soul) was shoved into a new hröa (body), did he come back fully grown or an elven baby

The Tolkien wiki just states that, given the chance, elvish fëar can be cast back into an identical hröar. It doesn't specify if the hröar is identical to the hröar killed or the hröar given upon birth.
Glorfindel's resurrection is estimated to be within the year 1600 of the Second Age to the year 1000 of the Third Age. The Second Age lasted 3,441 years giving an (at the earliest) an estimated life of around 2,800 years before the war of the Ring giving ample time to grow up and be known as Glorfindel again. Did he reappear as himself or grow up?

2023.06.07 11:36 dfhantom Can anyone advise!!

My dear father passed away last year on Sep 2022 of (probably) a heart attack, suddenly one day after being sick & weak for 3 days. (While in toilet he had kind of fainted but was semi conscious when me and my mom barged into the toilet getting worried by Papa not answering us. We found him lying on floor and all he could do was nod to what we asked. He succumbed to death on our way to hospital)
But before this episode, for a year or so my family had been encountering certain (not exactly obvious) weird activities or things. For example - finding a marigold flower at the backside of our terrace while there's no marigold plant in either our or our neighbours' terraces; finding couple of (homemade) festival specific sweets packed in plastic bag neatly kept in one corner of a 4 ft wall on the frontage of our house; etc. We do have envy neighbours but one particular woman from our immediate neighbour house is very vile, has ill will for us and also supposedly practices witchcraft (not sure though). And we had a suspicion on her among others, due to my father's very recently acquired chronic health issues and hospitalizations. So we contacted a psychic religious guru recommended by a friend. He by himself disclosed some peculiar health conditions of my dad (without even seeing him) which the doctors had also found out earlier. According to him a spell was cast on my father but he refused to name the caster saying it's their rule not to reveal that. We did those simple short remedial activities that he advised but obviously couldn't see any physical evidence of any result. Weird petty things kept happening, we kept visiting doctors and eventually on Sep 2022 I unfortunately lost my father. Since then never ever did we contact that guru again (due to lack of trust). And to this day it pinches me that we don't know whether my father suffered a natural death or something else.
Can anyone here kindly advise as to anything I could do that would make the reason of this unfortunate incident crystal clear to me!

2023.06.07 11:35 Even_Pension_2190 Cast/molding from old zords

Hello to my fellow collectors!

I have a question to you. If we try to buy vintage zords we do have one big problem. Small parts get lost. If I take the shogun megazord - the helmet alone costs around 50€ on ebay. That's way to much in my opinion. Same for every removable small item for the zords.

I want to make a cast of certain items and then make resin versions. Like one of the swords of the Super Zeo Megazord because I lost one as a child.

Would you be interessted in these? Of course originals are best - that's not to argue :D
Hope the flag is right 😅

2023.06.07 11:33 improvingmyself3 I feel that I have been called by Ma Chinnmastika. How can I worship her in my home? (please read for background)

Background & Dreams
I have always been a skeptical, but open-minded person. Could always see faults in science, and faults in religion or arising therefrom are well-documented, etc.
But following a series of improbable and unusual events in a very short duration, I felt the presence of Ma in the short time before I went to sleep the day before yesterday.
Just as I was going to sleep, I had two short dreams. In the first dream, I was in a cafe-cum bar sort of place, late evening. A lady leaned over the counter-top across me and dropped/let go of a folded piece of paper. I had the strong feeling that I should take it, or that it was meant for me. The dream then ended.
In the second dream, I was lying in the exact same pose I was trying to sleep in on my bed, except that I sensed a black statue of a goddess (as black as it could be) on the central shelf of my bedroom. There were lights flashing, and a cacophony of bells. But most strangely, I felt a preternaturally strong, dark (not negative), and very powerful energy emanating from her. It was something strange and nothing like anything else I had felt before.
It was so strong that I woke up with goosebumps all over and some fear too. Then I went to sleep a while later.
Afterward, I talked to a friend of mine who had actually been asking me to go to the Rajarappa temple. He said you have been called, and should be humble and elated, because people's entire lives go without Ma reaching out to them.
Since that day, only two days ago mind you, I have felt strongly moved by Ma. Each time I remember her, I feel her power and strength, enough to make my hairs stand on end. I am moved to tears when I read about her. I looked up her mantra, and just simply chanted it in my mind because I wanted to. It calmed me, and I felt its effects very positively.
I feel that all my sensuous desires are submerged and sublimated when I recite her mantra or keep her in my mind, and so far nothing else has worked that quickly and so strongly for me. Its like I can be lost within her motherly embrace, and just touching her feet and being with her would be enough for me, because I know she would treat me with love and warmth, and her ferocity is to protect me, not to kill or harm me.
Reason I know it was not just some dream
It is because I have visited Ayodhya and was able to cast my gaze upon Shri Ram Lalla for an extended period of time. There, for the first time, I felt that I came across someone who could take my full intensity all into himself and it would be nothing for him. With people, I have to hide my intensity, because they can only tolerate specific parts of it, and that too not always. But with my Lord, I felt full acceptance. Sitting there in front of him, I felt that I could stay there forever, and that I would be accepted for who I am, fully, completely, in ways that are not thought of, let alone practiced, among human beings.
With Ma, I felt the same sort of energy in the dream, except that Ma's energy was more fierce, darker, more terrible, more intense. Shri Ram was holistic, gentle, pious.
It is worth stressing that these two are the only times I have ever felt like that. So I know that this was not some dream caused by previous stimuli, especially taking into account the change in my behavior since that dream.
Worshipping Ma
I ordered an image of Ma online, and plan to keep it in my room. I will recite her mantra and worship her. Came here to find out just what else it is that I could do. I will of course be visiting her temple soon.

2023.06.07 11:32 VendettaFishing [Haibo Arise Air] Initial Impressions: What I love and Hate...

Hi there!
I wanted to write about my first impressions with the Haibo Arise Air. I've used it for around 6-7 fishing sessions at this point.
What I like:
The Arise's performance is, as presumed, really really good. A reel that combines the breaking system of the top two manufacturers manufactures in the BFS game and has a spool weight of 5g is going to have amazing performance right? At least I thought so, which is why I bought the reel, and it turns out to be true! The reel casts very far and with great accuracy, even with 3g lures (which is what I fish most often)! It also responds relatively well to different casting movements without changing the break settings (flipping, pitching, casting). The reel is also extremely smooth, at times I can't even feel the weight of the lure through the handles.
What I don't like:
The handle. The handle is far too large for BFS in my opinion. Finesse knobs combined with a handle of such a size does not work well. The knobs are fine though.
Hope this was useful to some of y'all, if you are interested I also did an unboxing video of the reel on my YouTube channel where I walk through my first impressions.

Poor results since updating to the latest version of Negative Lab Pro. Am I doing something wrong?
(Ignore light leak at the bottom) Has anyone else had issues with the lates version of NLP? First picture is conversion with my usual settings, second is a photoshop conversion. For some reason I’m having a very hard time keeping the highlights from blowing, and the oranges and reds are super saturated and shifting to magenta. No matter what settings I use there are pretty strong casts.
I used to get pretty good results, the latest update is very nice because of the faster speeds (v2.4.2) but at the moment I have to use photoshop to get decent colours which defeats the purpose? Any tips?

First solo event this weekend!
Hey guys, as title says I'm going to my first solo event this weekend right in time for 9th to end! Pic of everything I'm taking with me (from a few weeks ago its almost all painted now).
The event staff have revealed the first round pairings already and I'm up against Death Guard for game 1 on Data Scry-Salvage. Its a big brick of Blightlords with 3 PBCs, 2 bloat drones with mowers and a cast of supporting characters including Typhus.
I'm picturing my target priority here is going to be Bloat Drones > PBCs (if I can see them?) > Blightlords (probably just with my regular Lokhusts). I reckon I'm going to want to take out any of his faster moving threats ASAP to protect my scarabs who'll be scoring for me.
I've not actually played against DG since 8th ed and like I said before not been to any solo events at all before (just a doubles event back in April) so any advice or tips would be very helpful!

2023.06.07 11:28 Curious_Juggernaut_5 I am wondering Where’s Aussie ?

Had anyone else ran across any of Aussies social media ? I haven’t seen anything at all but have seen numerous and various things from the other cast so I just found it interesting that Aussie hasn’t came up . Do you think they are embarrassed by their behavior and don’t want the backlash? To add to this I thought producers made cast members promote the show .. just found it interesting that’s all

2023.06.07 11:28 luoyang-judian Where Can Industrial Melting Furnaces Be Applied?

Industrial melting furnaces are used to melt various types of metals and alloys, including steel, aluminum, copper, zinc, and other non-ferrous metals. These furnaces are used in a wide range of industries, including metalworking, foundries, and automotive manufacturing. Some of the common applications of industrial melting furnaces include:
Casting
Industrial melting furnaces are used in the casting of various metal components, including engine blocks, transmission housings, and other automotive parts. The furnace is used to melt the metal, which is then poured into molds to create the desired shape. The casting process is widely used in the automotive industry, as well as in the production of machinery, tools, and other metal products.
Heat Treatment
Industrial melting furnaces are also used in the heat treatment of metals, which involves heating the metal to a specific temperature and then cooling it at a controlled rate to improve its mechanical properties. Heat treatment is commonly used in the aerospace and defense industries, as well as in the production of high-performance metals for use in engines, turbines, and other machinery.
Recycling
Industrial melting furnaces are used in the recycling of scrap metal, which is melted down and poured into molds to create new metal products. This process is widely used in the production of aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous metals, as well as in the production of steel from scrap metal.
Steelmaking
Industrial melting furnaces are used in the production of steel, which involves melting iron and other metals together to create molten steel. This molten steel is then cast into various shapes and forms, including bars, sheets, and plates. The steelmaking process is widely used in the construction industry, as well as in the production of machinery, vehicles, and other metal products.
Jewelry making
Industrial melting furnaces are also used in the production of jewelry, particularly in the melting and casting of precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. The furnace is used for melting the metal, which is then poured into molds to create the raw material for jewelry making.
Overall, industrial melting furnaces are an essential tool in the metalworking industry, and their ability to melt and shape metal is essential for many manufacturing applications. The type of furnace used will depend on the specific application and the type of metal being melted.

2023.06.07 11:27 GorzothTheOrc v5.2.3 Blur spell issue

When Blur's active (no matter whether or not: in combat, dual-casted, character has focused-mind perk) it only drains magicka, no regeneration - just as it stops when you charge a spell. Is it a feature now (cause it worked fine on 1.9.4 for me) or does anyone have same problem? Concerning other modes - basically, I have almost everything installed what is included in "Wildlander". Depending on answers and suggestions, maybe I'll ask the same question in Wildlander thread (there should be one, I suppose)
Of course, it's not the trivial "maybe you just don't regenerate enough", cause 7%+ regeneration rate with 500 magicka pool out of combat defenitely should cover those 3 magicka per second draining. It's just that regenerations stops.
