A first trip to Brown's island in Richmond, VA turned out to be the right choice as I was stuck deciding whether to make the trek to Rva or Bmore later in the month. I leaned towards Browns after liking the outdoor on the river festival venue vs a fancy and more expensive Bmore show. I wanted to experience the Frogs in their natural habitat, outdoors down by the river. Walked in to the tour newcomers Adrian Belews Remain in Light group thumping the shit out of Thela and knew I had made it inside at just the right time. The Talking Heads tribute band that is comprised of former members Turkuaz played the shit out of Remain in Light from front to back.
With this being the first show with Adrian Belew in attendance I was calling for an aggressive Thela opener with Adrian or at least a sit in during the Frogs. Flashbacks to Bonnaroo 2004, the Lone Rhino set....I was sure this would happen, very sure, how could it not? Those hopes were dashed as Adrian drove by the crowd on his way out after their set. Guess they gotta hit the road too but hopefully there will be some sit ins iminent while they begin their run of this tour. Claypool was full of banter and did give a shout out to Adrian at one point and did mention how we had all just witnessed the greatest thing ever and that is Adrian Belew and now we have to listen to his bullshit.
Admittingly Claypool was hung over after partying in Nashville the night before, name dropping Jack White and Billy Strings. He dedicated Highball to his hang over. Shiner wasn't invited to the party and stayed in his hotel room by himself. Despite his tiredness throughout the day Claypool ended up being one of the more energetic forces onstage throughout the whole night, very animated, lostsa dancing, pig mask and discoball helmet.
The band was locked in this night and played a flawless rendition of Animals. A train literally drove by for a few minutes during the beginning of the set but they did NOT bust out Locomotive Breath. The rest of the set was vintage Claypool, nothing played past Purple Onion (besides the Delerium suite) and setlist was light on the Mackeral. An old school set with Roof opener, Cosmic closer with a D's Encore. A perfect festival type show just non stop hits. Highlights were getting closure with both Makalasters and Evil Les coming out strong throughout the night. The set after Animals was really stellar, super nasty funk and of course the Whamola just took things to the next level. I think even the band thought they were done near the end but Les just kept coming back out until 5 minutes from curfew.
No bust outs but they jammed the shit out of each of those songs with extendeddddd periods of improv. There were even a few unique jams and grooves that came out of the improv that venutred into Bastard Jazz. There were several HEAVY Primus teases throughout the night, full on Tommy the Cat monolouge at one point, southbound and Wynona were also played.
Mike D, nuff said. He killed his solos and sounded great all night. It was my first time experiencing the massive kick drum of Paulo Baldi in person and it was glorious, he was the real MVP holding down the funk and powering those drums non stop. Claypool's solos were by the dozen, he was going off whenever he got the chance and having a great time onstage. His new bass sounds great.
It was a great weather on a beautiful night at the waterfront. They might be sold out of the Frog pins there were not any at this show. Walking back to my car I passed by a rentention pond filled with croaking frogs.

Hi.
It's such a lonely night and I can't sleep. I have all these thoughts in my head and I don't know how I can organize these into this single post. I guess I'm looking for a situationship of sorts? Someone who can match the energy I can give, and hopefully match the love that I'll be giving... assuming it reaches that point.
So I'm 26 and I'm from Rizal. Cute/Pogi if I do say so myself; my mom thinks so too! Boy next door type, but not the type that lives in a fancy village. LOL. I like smiling and give off a warm vibe, especially towards people I like. I stand 5'9" but when I'm lying down... well, I'm still 5'9", I just happen to be lying down. LOL. I recently started going to the gym because I don't like what I see in the mirror anymore.
Hopefully you're cute or pogi, of legal age, and near the area or willing to travel and meet halfway. You can hit me up with a photo maybe and a short introduction. I don't bite, unless prompted to.
Hope to chat with you soon!

My 2008 LX already had an aftermarket headunit installed with it, single DIN. A Kenwood headunit with bluetooth, and it looks like they installed a microphone as well behind the rear view mirror.
Personally, I would prefer a touchscreen with Apple Carplay so my GPS is visible and less fiddling with the phone. My experience with stereo installation is very minimal. My question is whether the wiring harness situation would be super easy, like plug and play, since an aftermarket headunit is already in there? I know I would need a Double DIN bracket but that seems easy-ish to work out, it's the wiring that intimidates me.
Worst case I'll have it professionally installed (I will need to do that anyway for a backup camera), but I was hoping I could put the headunit in myself now and do the backup camera somewhere down the road.

We’ve been together nearly 10 years and are amazing partners, I have no family remaining , but my fiancée stays close with his parents (especially mom) and while he’s been hearing the issues I’ve had, I don’t know that it’s enough to resolve them.
I’ve made the mistake over these almost ten years of putting my traditions to the side to celebrate theirs (and I did fully make this choice myself, that’s on me) and I thought I was being forgotten in the shuffle, but now it feels more and more purposeful.

1. Mom complains openly to me about the “greedy Jews” who run her work—this was at least eight years ago, but I tried to treat it with grace and said nothing until a longer conversation with my fiancée about his sibling years later. Both of us more or less settled on the fact that there was no point in creating an upset for something that happened so long ago.
2. His brother chose not to date a girl because she was a Jewish girl in a lawsuit and everyone treated that as normal? It feels even petty to mention, but I think about it a lot in conjunction with
3. That brother also accused me of stealing a card out of the mail that he had mailed to his brother and that I threw it out.

Am I blowing this out of proportion or am I right to feel unsafe and unwelcome in this family? I don’t know if it is relevant but neither of us is religious and we aren’t having children.

26/F and have been with my guy for almost 10 years now, living together for the last 4. Every minute with him is so wonderful and fun but sometimes I feel like because so much of the time we spend together is boring regular life, I'm often seeing and hearing him through the static that's part of my regular life as an ADHD person. And that it's unfair to him.
He has to remind me of things and repeat things to me, and I can tell there are some moments where it gets to him and he feels like he is not being heard. Literally not being heard sometimes because just the presence of the loud HVAC unit in our apartment is enough to make me that person who goes "What?" "I'm sorry, what?" "I'm so sorry, one more time please?" until he literally gives up. It's so frustrating for both of us. I do not have hearing issues. It's like my brain frizzes out trying to interpret what he's saying and interjects over my listening.
I can't remember the amazing stories he's told me about his childhood nearly as much as I would like to. I can't keep his cousins straight. I care so much and feel like each time he has to tell me something again, I'm a failure. He has never made me feel this way or said anything close to it, though there have been times where I flopped on things that were major and it caused an interpersonal issue. I once forgot his birthday, and didn't realize until days later. I had presents wrapped and ready for the day, and a dinner reservation that we missed.
And sometimes in a conversation, I find myself in this fractured attention state where it's like I'm talking to him but I feel like somehow I'm not really there as I should be, I stop reading his social cues or even looking at him, until I remember I have to check back in with reality even though we've been talking to each other through the entire thing. I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about, but it's like I feel inauthentic and taken over by something. Like I'm not being who I want to be in the conversation until I notice. When I'm just, at home, being myself. Maybe it's like a constant anxious state? I'm not sure. I've been on Adderall since I was 5 and haven't messed with my dosage for the last decade. It could be time for an adjustment. But lately I've just been feeling down about the way I am.

Changed 12v about 2 months ago and had no issues or errors.
Drove to gym (about 2 miles) and when I came out I got the error.
I am still under warranty (2 weeks left) so I called BMW and they sent me an Uber to take me home and a tow truck with skates.
They said that they scanned my car and it said transmission electrical error codes.
I’ll update after dealer responds.

i always wondered why the maras never have changed up their style and have almost invented one of their own . i never tend to see any OG ms13 member interviews or coverage on them at all it’s almost like everybody from Ms13 a clone of eachother with no culture. They claim most hated is that true every gang beefs it with em? The click near me HWLS They all look the same act the same & all seem like they ain’t got no pride for their varrio.Why is it 18 st is just as big as they are and i’ve seen plenty of their members interviewed EVEN in war stories of OG’s i never heard many ever mention “ got into it with ___ from MS or anything of that sort. For a gang That’s just as big as 18 and with zero allies they don’t seem to be anywhere

Good morning all,
I've been experimenting with iSCSI booting in my homelab and scratching my head, trying to figure out what the trick is to getting it to work.
I have a Dell PowerEdge R510 12-bay which is currently a Windows-based file server, but thinking to change to TrueNAS. At the same time, I have a few PowerEdge R520's that I would like to turn into a diskless VMWare cluster, utilizing an iSCSI-based boot drive off of TrueNAS and an NFS-based datastore for the VM storage, also off TrueNAS.
To do a proof-of-concept, I've built a VM in my current VMWare host with some storage and built an iSCSI share. This share is accessible from one of my Windows 10 machines, so that seems to be working. I've set up the iSCSI share to be as wide open as possible, i.e. no limits on initiators and no CHAP authentication.
The first problem I'm running into is configuring the R520's iSCSI in BIOS properly. Specifically, I can't get the NICs to either pull an IP by DHCP or utilize a static IP for iSCSI. I'm fairly sure if I can figure this out, the rest might fall into place. My network is 100% Ubiquiti and DHCP is being served out by a Windows VM. While the R520's don't seem to be pulling an IP or utilizing a static IP at the BIOS level, if I stick a drive into the server, install Windows on it, Windows is able to pull IP's from the same NICs, so that tells me that connectivity seems to be fine.
Is there something I'm missing in getting the BIOS of the NIC, pre-OS, to pull an IP successfully? I've done a lot of research on this, but have not found anything to help with this particular network issue.
Thanks!

Hi i recently have seen the engineers working near my house and they have put a cable on the telegraph pole i went to the open reach website and i was wondering how long does it take for the engineers to install fttp

Over the last few months I've been trying to go for a walk several times a week around my apartment complex. Mostly for exercise, but also just to break up the hours of the day between work meetings and what not (work from home full time). It's a pretty big complex so there's plenty of real estate to walk through. Every time I go out, I get the feeling of being watched from windows, cars, etc. Every time I come a cross another walker I get a feeling of "eyes are on me; hide, look away, walk faster, be smaller". When I pass someone sitting in their car parked, I get an intrusive thought that they're recording me, or watching me. I pass an open window on the ground level and I get a distinct sense of dread that someone is watching, pointing, mocking me from dimly lit room beyond.
I know it's irrational and I try to challenge it but it still happens. When people look at me, it's in my head that instead of "oh hello other human" they are thinking "whoa look at that grotesque creature, holy shit". I'm a big guy, tall, I walk with a limp, so any time attention is drawn to me I just feel like a circus attraction instead of a human.
How do I get past these self image issues?

if you're reading this, it's because of an interest in shared housing or you were searching craigslist for "princess diana beanie baby". were the circumstances of your arrival the latter, i regret to disappoint you, as that will be the only mention of the most elegant of all Ty plush toys. brevity is not my strong suit, but i'll attempt to summarize, as dry as possible, the poorly formatted basics, which will dictate your desire to continue reading. the continued reading is mostly relevant and necessary but some sure isn't.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
as this is a sublet, we aren't as discriminating as one might (should) be in choosing someone to share a space so intimately. you needn't be on the same page in all regards but should be generally well adjusted emotionally if not socially, and have a functioning moral compass. maybe you think styrofoam is gross and capitalism will never work but you've come to terms with living off its excesses and even though you would never buy a nestle candy bar you might eat one if you found it on the bart train and you know that people can have different ideas and opinions that grow and change but you don't need to have an opinion about everything and the world is so big and strange and sometimes ugly but mostly awesome.
we both have inconsistent and varied rewarding employment, but no occupations. fairly domestic. on a scale of beverly hills 90210 to addams family, we rate about a frasier. occasional guests for dinner or to play that game where you guess the distance between two things, but not as much as i'd like.
the kitchen is mostly clean and mostly pink. we cook. we have access to the finest fresh foods in california on account of our farm gigs, and although historically we do our fooding and you do yours, if you were in to food and more motivated than we, food collaboration could be a thing. at the very least, you can take advantage of our bringing home excess fruits and vegetables when available which is often. there is a strong possibility that the kitchen will be rearranged in the near future. rearranging is a common occurrence that helps deal with the fact that i've been here for eight years.
the bathroom is a terrible color but we just got a new toilet and it flushes like woah. shower water pressure is A+ and the perfect temperature can be achieved with the handle in the 5 o'clock position. 4:30 if you're a masochist.
your bedroom has a small closet. there's probably enough room for a coffin, but i've never tried to fit one in there. it's the first spot in the house to see sunlight. it's carpeted. i have a steam cleaner. i'll steam it prior to your arrival. it is unfurnished, but furniture comes pretty easy round these parts. happy to help make the room usable should you be arriving with only a red hankerchief's worth of stuff tied to a stick.
our plenty of leisure time sees us engaging in a lot of home and garden projects. continued attempts at improvement are being made. the house is a hundred somethin years old, so it needs extra love. we pull weeds so you don't have to, but we're not greedy and if you really wanted to pull weeds, you can. the yard bears oranges, many figs, pomegranates, persimmons, lemons, loquats, apples, plums, olives, and quince from trees in various states of well being. i'm no arborist. are you?
i spend a lot of time making stuff and moving the stuff that i make stuff with around. i've learned to curtail my consumption of analog media, but records are still a big part of my life. i wait until i'm home alone to play the worst of them, and i recently purchased wireless headphones, but i hope you don't have a jazz rock fusion allergy. the most noise nina makes is using the cuisinart to delicious something or sewing machining. the most noise the downstairs neighbors make is a 'wooo' following an outstanding professional basketball feat.
in general the atmosphere is pretty mellow. i might pose unpointed ethical dilemmas in place of general small talk in the kitchen, but not for the first month at least, and i won't be offended if you have no comment. i also talk way less than i write i think. we wake up early and go to bed early but not because we're boring i swear. it would be for the best were you on a similar schedule or at least the morning part of it.
there is always street parking should you have a car. secure bike parking should you have a bike. if unfamiliar with the neighborhood, it's nice. not nice enough for a 5 dollar coffee shop, but one day i bet. the fence line collects empty capri suns and swisher wrappers, but most people pick up their dog poop. i can get to the fruitvale bart in five minutes on a bike and home from the bart in 8 and a half. there are good groceries, a wooded park with swimming pool, a free store, and copious tacos.
this is the part where i discriminate even though it's illegal. if you're the craigslist police, the following is a joke.
if you subscribe to any rigid system of beliefs or are square AF, this might not be the place for you.
if you sleepwalk and pee places that you shouldn't, i predict incompatibility
if you're over 7'4 you'll have to crouch to get through the doorways. you can still live here, but it sounds like it would suck to live anywhere without super high doorways. but you're def used to it. you prob have neck pains. i'm sorry
if you have that kink where you dress up like an infant and talk in a googoogaga voice and we have to hear or see it, this is probably not the place for you.
if you suffer from crippling bouts of depression or violent mood swings, this is not the place for you, but when you get regular everyday sad i'll try and be extra nice. nina doesn't even have to try because she's naturally extra nice.
if you're an alcoholic or congressperson or a compulsive gambler or have more than one outstanding warrant or a creepy stalker or wear a lot of perfume or have a waterbed or say mean and nasty things about courtney love, i'm sorry probably no.
i'm sure that despite too much information, i'm probably missing something important, so in your reply, use question marks. include personal trivia. your zodiac sign, your deepest fears, your nba playoff predictions, your favorite marx brother. don't feel obliged to go all out, but throw us a bone. at least assure me that you kind of read the ad even though you didn't want to but then if you wind up living here and everything's cool you won't care that you just wasted six minutes of your life.
pics forthcoming or provided in my reply email. arranging visits in the next week(s). we may not reply immediately, but it's not because you don't seem really great, it's because we're trying to stay organized and be efficient.

Hey all, this is a throwaway cuz idk if they know my Reddit or not. Apologies for formatting I'm on mobile.
For context myself (23FtM Trans), Husband (28M), and our kids (2F&1M) have all been pushed into a 17x7 den as our room, and our room is the only point of entry or exit for the house.
We moved in with MIL out of necessity in 2021 when I was pregnant with Son, it started out fine but has gotten much worse. MIL allowed BIL to move in with his family, and allowed them to keep ALL pets they had, we were forced to rehome our dog we got at 5 weeks old and loved for 4 years. Their kids are allowed to run freely through the house (and I do mean run) but if Daughter so much as jumps she gets yelled at. Daughter has started acting out more and having horrible nightmares (I'm looking into therapy for her if it's trauma I want to nip the issues now for her sake).
MIL tries to parent our children, like she does BILs, the difference being we are gentle parents. I have had to intervene when MIL has charged at Daughter multiple times with her hand raised to smack her hand or bottom because she "disrespected her". For context Daughter is autistic and not even 3 how can a child that can barely talk be disrespectful?
MIL and the rest of them don't clean. Ever. I am disabled, and I always will be. I deal with daily excruciating pain but I'm the one that's always cleaning. As I'm typing this I'm bedridden from cleaning yesterday. I have to do all the dishes for every meal or dish that's ever cooked they don't even put it away it all goes bad.
MIL always glares at me, and everything I do is wrong no matter what. Apparently every load of dishes I do come out of the dishwasher so dirty they have to be rewashed. I scrub every dish clean before it even goes in the dishwasher it's more of a sanitizer to me.
We are attempting to contact the local housing authority for help but a total of 30 calls over 3 days and they never answer. My car is down for the time being until the shop is done with it.
Apparently I'm on my phone too much when I'm on my phone less than she's on her PS4. The most I do is play solitair and browse reddit)
I'm so done with this all. I already have PTSD from a narcissist (my own mother) and I'm worried about my kids. We're doing our best to get out. If you've got any ideas on how to get out please tell me.

I physically pressed the volume button down on the side of my phone and went into Settings—>Headphone Safety and selected “Reduce Loud Sounds” and set the sliding scale all the way to the left for reducing loud sounds to 75 decibels/as loud as a vacuum cleaner. I also have pressed the physical button on the headphones down to the lowest setting.
With these settings on it feels like it is still too loud for me when I am listening with headphones in at my quiet home, go walking in the woods, or when I go to the library. This lowest volume setting is good though when I’m in a much louder environment- like when I go for a walk on Main Street with noisy cars flying by, mowing the lawn, or using the leaf blower.
Changing up music genres & podcasts with different audio qualities/speakers/instruments doesn’t seem to make a difference either (Ex. Classical music and Head Banging metal music are equally loud). I have tried a few different headphones/ear buds wand keep getting same results.
Anyone have advice for how I can make the sound quieter so I can comfortably listen to it while in quieter environments?

Hi Guys,
I am at the stage of roof trusses being installed, so will soon be time to run cables etc.
I have wanted home automation for a long time, and have been thinking about it for years now, fads have come and gone, and I now find myself needing to finalise a system.
I was thinking of using OpenHAB, I would like to control the following:
Heating/Cooling (underfloor downstairs/rads upstairs + air con) Lighting Blinds CCTV
I would like to have a media server available (Plex?)
Spotify would be nice to be available in every room.
I would like to use something like the offerings from Shelly or Sonoff.
Also, I am Type 1 Diabetic, a thought that has been rattling around in my head is that I could have rgb lighting for each room, so at a glance I can see my blood sugar levels (red=low/green=ok/yellow=high) etc... I use the Xdrip+ app for this, I appreciate this is perhaps outside the scope of this forum.
If anyone could point me towards some relevant info I would be very grateful indeed.
TIA :)

Recently changed jobs and one of the biggest lifestyle benefits has been my commute. Reduced from averaging a little over an hour to 10 minutes. I am an avid mountain biker and could easily bike to work (planning to start soon).
My wife doesn't work too much further (20 min total commute) and it also wouldn't be a hassel for her to drop me off on her way to work.
I have a 4 door sedan that gets 28ish miles per gallon, paid off, worth approximately $4k trade in.
The biggest benefit of my car is added convenience. It has a hitch receiver so I can use it to go mountain biking after work or on weekends. Also, when our child is in school I will be the primary for drop off. However, we could live with one car indefinitely.
With my current insurance reducing to liability and theft only I save about $25 per month and getting rid of theft is another $18.
My math is trade in divided by max savings is 93 months to save the value of the car.
I'm a risk adverse person and have always had comprehensive insurance as my car has always been a necessity for getting to work.
Am I being overly risk adverse? I make good money and have 40k emergency fund so getting a new "cheap" car wouldn't be restrictive in a pinch.

I think we all know how drivers feel about it, but what about riders? If I regularly took LUX rides and now had to either upgrade to BlackXL or take whatever beater car shows up, I would be pretty hot. To me, it looks like Lyft just eliminated one of the few things that made them stand out over Uber. What does everyone else think - especially riders?

I accepted an order, then headed to the store. Confirmed arrival, waited for a while, then after all the cars cleared the parking lot except mine, an associate told me that the order I had accepted was just taken by somebody else. She then told me to drop it because she couldn't cancel it because it was an active order for someone else. How is that possible?
