2023.06.02 00:10 GrumpyDietitian Can someone help me find a recent post? [miscellaneous]

Hopefully someone here can remember. Fairly recently, someone posted a picture of their shin with dry, scaly skin. Many posters thought it looked like… something with two words, first word was like Ic…something. I’ve been scrolling trying to find this post but no luck. Can anyone either guess the name of the skin condition by my super helpful hints or link the post for me?? Thanks!

2023.06.02 00:10 Dieguete_Yo LFM People: Say Hello to your new Latifi

And it'll be me! As I just got my license for LFM!
I'm making this post summarizing my learning and giving some useful tips that helped me get here. This was my first sim and the first time I got serious on it:

1.- Forget of learning all the tracks: Get some variety of tracks and use a while to go around them, don't worry about the times, just learn the track, go fast and learn to go on the limit. One trick I also used to myself was to put the track conditions to "fast", as that gave me some leverage for the time.
2.- Give it time! And be patient, you cannot learn in a couple of days, and if you see somebody saying "it took me 10 hours to get the license", they are experienced simracers. You'll need easily 10 hours to learn a single track, without having a competent race pace. Just forget about that, you'll get there.
3.- Don't put the AI too aggresive: Practicing against the AI is the best to learn to be predictable, drive safe and get yourself used to trac conditions during a race. If you put too high aggresive AI, they will dive bomb like crazy and you're not really learning. Also, don't make short races, the key for this is consistency, and if you are able to make 30-45 minute races without issues, you're there.
Once you got this, practice a bit the license server, any other track will just need a few hours practice and a touch on your setup. With just this and practice I got through.
I wish you luck guys! Hope to see you all on the track soon!

I have one Finals ticket for sale at Sec 248 Row 4 Seat 6. It is also being listed on Ticketmaster but the fee's take $200 away from me and would add at least $100 to your ticket, so I'd rather sell it over here. It is listed for $1000 on Ticketmaster but I'd be stoked with a Nugs fan buying it for $750 or best offer. Please let me know if you're interested. Thanks for reading. GO NUGGETS!!

2023.06.02 00:10 plot-twist-horror I need help identifying behaviours in green horses

I need help identifying behaviours in green horses
I help an old couple take care of their three rescue horses. They don’t have a lot of money currently, so I’m trying to help them out. Considering I have a lot less experience than most equestrians, I have a few (multiple) questions about some behaviour that I thought was concerning.
Some factors that may influence these behaviours: -All three are rescues -Joy and Peanut are twins -Red is an ex-abused barrel horse -Joy and Peanut have severe separation anxiety -Joy is extremely sensitive to human emotions and will rarely let people go by her butt because people get scared -Joy used to have a bad ankle -They live in the pasture 24/7, even during hurricanes -Peanut has lots of cuts/scratches from roughhousing -The twins were bred from Olympic horses (maybe some genetic factor) -All three are mostly green; Red has to unlearn some techniques and has to get back into shape, Joy and Peanut are halter-trained -Feet are not very well-maintained and have cracks (can’t really afford a farrier) -They are bombproof to cars, bears, chickens, cows, small tornados, hurricane Ian, gun shots, tractors, a flute, dogs, cats, plastic bags, videos from a phone, one baby -very lonely
Here’s the start to this long-ass post.
First and most concerning is this young stallion, Peanut. He’s a very well-bred Hanoverian breed, one of those horses that are usually raised in 10 million-dollar barns. He likes to bang his head repeatedly on the stall walls, and I read that it could be liver problems, neurological problems, or rabies. I don’t really believe he has anything serious going on, as he’s able to function normally. He also likes to test everyone he meets after a few days of meeting them, and will be a complete asshole because he believes everyone will leave him eventually. He also gets picked on the most from other people. I worry about his never-ending sea of scratches from both his sister, something in the pasture, and any other living animal; his tendency to hurt himself as well.
Another thing is food and water. I want to help contribute to their care, but my dad makes it kind of hard to. Oftentimes, the automatic water fountains are moldy and filled with algae, and I worry for their health. Recently, I noticed Red was bleeding from in between his back legs. I didn’t get an very reactive response when I told his owner.
Additionally, Red seems to be heaving a lot whenever we do something slightly athletic. I tried to make him trot a little bit, and he put his neck way down and coughed like 3 times. I don’t know if he’s exaggerating and just really out of shape, or if something is going on.
And lastly, hygiene. I see all over social media people have these fancy meals prepared for their horses and detailed videos about tack care and stuff. The horses I take care of eat mostly grass (unless their owners have enough money to buy them hay), rarely any grain or fancy stuff unless one of them is sick, and we don’t really use saddles anymore. Also, I think the water is turned off because of the bill, but it’s fine since they drink from their little ponds. Hopefully during the summer when I have more free time I can help them more. The barn is also not finished, but it has stalls and a roof that survived severe weather, so that’s cool.
Sorry for the long, long post. Couldn’t make a TLDR. I might edit this later.

2023.06.02 00:10 Igloo-Pincher For a portable pump for air mattress when camping, is it worth just spending a little more and getting one of those portable tire pumps or is that overkill?

These no name air mattress pumps are all over Amazon, but they seem like junk. It worked great but only lasted one summer. Is it because I let it go uncharged for several months? Anyway, is this the best solution for my needs or should I step up to a tire pump?

2023.06.02 00:10 Misfit-for-Hire Misfit’s Sober Songs #1

As of the thirtieth day of May in 2023, it has been one year since I last drank alcohol. Day 1 was Memorial Day last year, when I woke up after another night of binge drinking and felt so sick I could hardly remember my name. I eventually managed to get up and feed my pets (later than they would like), then crawled straight back into bed. The rest of that day was a tossing, turning, fever dream blur as I went in and out of sleep, waiting until 6 PM when I planned to go to a recovery meeting. I had been to them before, but not regularly. That day I had reached a critical mass of desperation and was willing to try again. I eventually dragged myself out of bed again, got some nasty fast food in an effort to feel less like microwaved death, and showed up at the meeting. I was weepy, pissed off, and disheveled. But I spoke up for the first time at that meeting, went to dinner with people after, and finally managed to start stringing together consecutive sober days.
Memorial Day this year was similar in that I stayed in bed most of the day, but just because I had returned from a week-long work trip the night before. I wasn’t sick or anxious or ashamed, just righteously exhausted.
With one alcohol-free year behind me, I find that I still have a strange feeling of…waiting. As if sobriety is like being put in time-out, and eventually some adult will come along and say “Okay, Misfit, the egg timer went off! You can go back to your regularly scheduled drinking now”. I can clearly see the benefits of not drinking: no longer throwing up daily, having all my brain cells in play again, etc. But some part of me still isn’t sold on it and misses having the option to douse my general existential angst in vodka. The escape hatch is gone and all the problems that were there before…are still there. The adult came around after all, but instead of releasing me from time-out, they said “Congratulations, Misfit! You have achieved Basic Sobriety! Now you can get down to the business of confronting your trauma, learning more productive coping skills, and deciding what you really want to do with your life!”
Thanks, I hate it.
All that to say, I feel like my second year of sobriety may actually be harder. To avoid returning to drinking out of sheer panic at some point, I'm giving myself a project here. Music has been a big support through all of this. In the boredom that is early sobriety, I often distracted myself with TikTok videos and started picking up new music and artists from them. Later, I reconnected with old favorites and started to remember what life was like before addiction. Now, I still have a hard time feeling positive emotions (which has been the case for years), but music tends to be one of the things that can reach through the anhedonic haze. I will make a post here each day to tell anyone who cares to read about a song that has meant something to me since reaching this side of sobriety. I’m going to start with songs that I remember from early sobriety and see where it goes from there.
Sober Song #1
[Put The Gun Down - Andy Black](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF8XyBXEEs4)
Here's where it starts, another night alone in the dark
Hate is running through my veins
Steady now I'm takin' aim
The darkness of day, all the skies are turning to grey
I can't tune the voices out
How'd they get so goddamn loud?
Oh, cause there's a side, another side of me that can't get out
A darker side that no one knows about
Can't anybody hear me?
Can't anybody see me?
Cause I think I lost my way
Put the gun down, Just put the gun down
Will anybody watch me?
Is someone gonna stop me?
This could be my last mistake
Put the gun down, just put the gun down, down
This song encapsulates one of the first realizations I had that would eventually push me toward taking action on sobriety: the realization that I could drink myself into a stupor, into the gutter, into the grave if that’s what I was determined to do. Nobody can force you to stop but you. It also describes how I felt like nobody noticed how much of a problem I was starting to have. I was a pretty functional alcoholic and a lot of my hardest drinking was alone, at home, during COVID. My family, friends, and colleagues didn’t notice anything amiss over Zoom. I eventually realized I felt resentful over that, like I was drowning right in front of them but they didn’t even see it. My mean internal voice had always been there, but suddenly it was so loud that I was desperate for anything to make it stop. I was “cold and shut off”, sitting at home most nights with a figurative gun aimed at my own head. I wondered to myself: “If this gets bad enough, will someone stop me? They’ll eventually figure it out and do something, won’t they?” The answer was no. I had to be the one to break my own cycle of self harm. I had to make the choice to put the gun down.
I hope you found this interesting and enjoy the song. IWNDWYT. <3

2023.06.02 00:09 BigRecommendation720 Need help with backpedaling in my form

You could hold a gun to my head and tell me not to face backwards in the last step of my run up and I still wouldn’t be able to fix it. I do the exact thing Josh from Overthrow talks about where my second step in the x-step (the one where my back leg crosses behind my front one) swings my body around so when I take my last step to plant, the disc is directly behind me. I’ve tried to do the whole “up up down up” thing he says for hip angle and I just can’t get it, I’m sure that’s the best way but I’m hoping there’s maybe another way to think about it. Anyone else had this trouble, and what did you do to fix it? Anyone have any luck with specific swing thoughts to keep yourself from doing it?

2023.06.02 00:09 Llamafather Auto-Updating Form

I am trying to create a form that has a 'select option' question that has an option to add a new option, and then automatically adds the new option permanently to the form for all submissions going forward.
eg. question 1: Please select project #:
(1) project 1
(2) project 2
(3) project 3
(4) project 4
question 2: If project is not listed above, input project name below:

Then, on the next instance of the form after the new project name is submitted, it would appear as a 5th option in question 1.

I wasn't able to find any way to do with with a couple of google searches, so I thought I'd ask here.
Please let me know if there is a way to do this or something similar. Thanks!

2023.06.02 00:09 chinesepuf Do I qualify as a TN visa for psychological assistant having a bachelor’s in science in psychology from El Paso Tx

Hello, I have a question. I applied for a TN visa, I studied in El Paso i have a bachelor’s in science in psychology. I got a job offer as a psychometrist. I applied and my visa got denied. They say it’s because my job does not apply for the TN visa. I’m going to try and apply again, but I’m seeing that I need to have a license as a psychologist which that is what enters into the categories for a TN visa. I can change the name of the job as a psychological assistant but i am not sure that will be denied as well.

2023.06.02 00:09 xernascarlet Help! I pretended to be a guy on Facebook, I now have a meeting with a famous Toy Company and they want to Zoom with me!

Bit of a long story but I really need some advice on what to do next, this is really embarrassing:
I set up one of my facebook accounts with a male name and no profile picture. I use this account to sell things on Facebook Marketplace. Because of the FB algorithm I ended up seeing a group started by a guy who had a successful kickstarter. I joined this chatroom because I was a fan of the kickstarter when it came out last year.
Sidenote: I recently started a company to sell a new toy invention and currently have two prototypes.
I asked in the chatroom if they thought my product would do well in a Kickstarter. People were very nice in this chatroom and to my surprise the guy who started this chatroom and the owner of the very successful kickstarter, lets call him "Paul", told me to message him privately because he thinks he can give me an intro to a big toy company. I was blown away by his generosity but this guy seriously moves fast.
I PM'd him and said I was interesting in learning more on how he could help me out... then he voice called me! I had just woken up so my voice was kind of drowsy and sounded like a guys. I answered and thankfully he was sharing a lot of information so it didnt require me to talk much and when I did I talk I kept it short and my voice low.
At this point hes been using my fake male name on Facebook throughout this whole convo. After our call ends and I send him a video of my product he asks me if I had an email I use. I quickly made a fake email on gmail [malename].[toy]@gmail.com and then he emails an intro to that giant toy company with that email introducing me as [male name]!
There's about 5 people all CC'd into this email. They're asking me to 1. sign a contract 2. set up a TEAMS pitch meeting.. Then Paul PM's me on facebook and says "I'd be happy to be a part of the meeting with you etc". FML I also have terrible social anxiety hence the fake personas online
I've dug myself into a really deep hole and I dont know how to get out of it, its also VERY embarrassing that this lie went on for so long but I have to tell you all - this happened in the span of an hour!
What should I do? I'm thinking of PM'ing Paul on facebook and telling him the truth that im actually not a guy and then taking him out of the CC emails and telling all of the company workers at this toy company that my legal name is actually [female name] and im a woman and i only go by [male name] on facebook because I sell things on marketplace and dont want to use my real identity. There's also the issue of the email they're communicating with me at which also makes things confusing. What do you think I should do?
