2023.03.30 06:54 persephone21 Post-adoption blues (2.5 weeks in with 2.5 year old dog)
Hi everyone,
I figured I'd chronicle a bit of my post-adoption journey here in case it helps anyone else (and to get it off my chest). I adopted my dog from Hawaii, and he arrived 2.5 weeks ago. He is a ~40lb Pharaoh hound mix (looks just like a pharaoh hound). I spent two days with him in Hawaii before adopting him and he flew here to where I live (Oregon). He is a very sweet dog, very gentle, has yet to bark, doesn't drool, snuggly, good in a car, gets along with all dogs, and, while cautious with new people, generally friendly (not reactive), and sleeps through the night now that I've figured out a bed situation he likes.
I'm 35, married, I have my own online business, and don't have my own kids (I do have a 19-year-old stepson). I have wanted a dog for a few years because I love animals, do not plan on having kids (it is not for me), and it just felt like one of the more worthwhile things you could do (and I wanted to have the experience at least once in life because I've never had a dog).
Basically - it has been hard for me. My dog is not a bad dog at all, but he has never lived in a house and was not house-trained. He gets severe anxiety being in a crate (for now), so that's not an option. I think he previously lived outside, had 0 training, and never walked on a leash. In our house, he basically just doesn't *settle*. Nervous pacing, doesn't know where to go other than the two couches and sometimes one of his many beds. To get him to chill out, I have to tether him near one of his beds with one of his leashes, at which point he will lie down and chill (I am always in the room supervising, like when I cook dinner or need to do laundry). To sum it up - my life before this was relatively quiet. My autistic stepson can be loud and annoying, but he's 19 so I can reason with him. It was just me, my cat, my stepson, and my husband, and I spent the majority of my time alone doing my creative activities.
The biggest challenge for me has been what I just described - the dog's nervous energy. He had two long walks today, some training, played with his toys, and got half of his dinner using a new snuffle mat, but for some reason, today he discovered all the toys I've had for him for weeks and was going crazy with them, then going around to everything in my office (a large room where I spend all my time) and biting everything, constantly pacing, just acting nuts. I took him outside for a pee break and to walk around the block (we don't yet have a fenced yard and are looking to fence the only yard we have, which is a small side yard), and he was practically sprinting on his leash (he has never done this before). Then, he managed to find what I think is human poop near a place where a homeless guy sleeps, ate it, and then continued to go crazy in the house when we came back. He is now calmly asleep next to me after I gave him some anti-anxiety hemp chews.
Basically, the dog is normal. He's not doing anything wrong. I just want to know if he'll eventually settle and figure out the house, have his sleeping places, maybe not be constantly on top of me, and be able to navigate the house himself without biting everything. I keep wondering - am I cut out for this? This has shown me how beautiful my quiet life was in many ways, and I desperately miss it. The dog has also brought some beauty into my life through daily walks, bonding, and cuddles. But right now, I still have to monitor him 24/7, and it's just A LOT. I'm up and down. Some days it feels good, some days, like I today, I feel like I made a huge mistake, and if I could go back in time and undo it, I would.
Anywayyyy would love to hear some success stories of rescues settling into their homes, feeling comfortable, calm, and having their own space. I know about the 3-3-3 rule...but honestly, my fear is that his true personality is coming out now, and he's going to be way too high energy for me, and I'll be low-key on edge all the time. I do really love this guy, and I'm bonded to him, but I also want to enjoy my life and retain some peace.

2023.03.30 06:54 Michael_ChanceW Runesmith Caryll and The Witch of Hemwick
So, I'm sure a lot of people on here probably know a lot more about the lore of Bloodborne than I do. However, I have recently become obsessed with the lore.
So, I was thinking about Runesmith Caryll and how we find the The Rune Workshop tool there. Honestly, I can't bring myself to believe that this is just a coincidence. There has to be a reason that we find that specific item in that specific area, right?
So, in trying to figure this out and looking it up online, I have seen a few old post and several other searches addressing it. I have seen people try to say that the hunter is indeed Caryll and others claiming that they might be the witch.
So here is my theory based on pure speculation. I think I might agree with the concept that The Witch is Caryll. I saw someone point out that the hunter we find dead there is wearing the attire of the hunter's that Ludwig would recruit. So, if Caryll did become a hunter, it would make sense that they would be higher ranking than that.
What I wonder, or maybe speculate, is that a certain hunter became obsessed with the runes and went searching for Caryll themselves to get answers on them. However, Caryll has isolated themselves off and have created their own following. Not only that, they have lost their mind. We see that The Witches are obsessed with eyes and I feel like a student or follower of Willem would as well be obsessed with eyes. With the witches we see the concept of beliefs or ideas getting skewed as they get further removed from their original source.
Again, this is just all speculation and I'm probably covering things that have been covered many times before but I am interested in what others on here might have to say. Also, if you have a theory on what you think might have happened to Runesmith Caryll, I would love to hear it.

2023.03.30 06:54 Cascotec ISO 26000 and Sustainability in UAE: How Cascotec.com is Paving the Way
 | ISO 26000 and Sustainability in UAE: How Cascotec.com is Paving the Way submitted by Cascotec to u/Cascotec [link] [comments] The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is known for its thriving economy and ambitious development plans. However, with rapid growth comes environmental and social challenges. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on sustainability in the UAE, with businesses and organizations taking a more proactive approach to address these challenges. https://preview.redd.it/5p48utv25tqa1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2665c5d52d9b4de83b0574a2648f96cb3b2f9a58 One key framework that has gained prominence in the UAE is ISO 26000, a global standard for social responsibility that provides guidance on how organizations can operate in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. ISO 26000 covers a wide range of issues, including human rights, labor practices, environmental sustainability, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and community involvement and development. Cascotec.com, a UAE-based company that specializes in waste management and recycling solutions, is one organization that has fully embraced ISO 26000 and integrated sustainability into its business operations. With a focus on creating a more sustainable future, Cascotec.com has made significant strides in reducing waste and promoting environmental and social responsibility in the UAE. Reducing Waste and Promoting Circular Economy One of the key ways that Cascotec.com is promoting sustainability is through its innovative waste management and recycling solutions. The company's approach is based on the principles of the circular economy, which aims to minimize waste and maximize the use of resources by keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible. Cascotec.com's solutions include the recycling of electronic waste, such as mobile phones and computers, as well as the treatment of hazardous waste, such as batteries and chemicals. The company also offers sustainable waste management services for industries such as healthcare, hospitality, and retail. By implementing these solutions, Cascotec.com is helping to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and promoting the reuse and recycling of valuable resources. This not only has a positive impact on the environment but also creates new economic opportunities and jobs in the recycling industry. https://preview.redd.it/gj198qg45tqa1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5bed5fc393fef5fad6212eecc58621aa6da1c883 Promoting Social Responsibility In addition to its environmental initiatives, Cascotec.com is also committed to promoting social responsibility in the UAE. The company recognizes that its operations have an impact on the communities in which it operates and seeks to create positive change through its actions. One way that Cascotec.com is promoting social responsibility is through its employee welfare programs. The company provides its employees with a range of benefits, including healthcare, training, and career development opportunities. Cascotec.com also has a strong focus on diversity and inclusion, with a workforce that is made up of individuals from different backgrounds and nationalities. Cascotec.com also partners with local organizations to support community development initiatives in the UAE. For example, the company works with non-profits to provide educational programs on waste management and recycling to school children. Cascotec.com also supports local environmental initiatives and has a long-term goal of becoming a carbon-neutral company. The Role of ISO 26000 ISO 26000 has played a significant role in guiding Cascotec.com's sustainability initiatives. The company uses the standard as a framework for its operations and has integrated its principles into its business strategy. ISO 26000 has helped Cascotec.com to identify and address the social and environmental issues that are most relevant to its operations. The standard has also provided the company with a framework for measuring and reporting on its sustainability performance, which is essential for demonstrating its commitment to social responsibility to its stakeholders. By adhering to ISO 26000, Cascotec.com is also able to meet the expectations of its customers and partners, who increasingly value social and environmental responsibility in their business relationships. The standard helps the company to differentiate itself from competitors and position itself as a leader in sustainability in the UAE. Conclusion Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the UAE, with businesses and organizations recognizing the need to operate in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Cascotec.com is a shining example of a company that has fully embraced sustainability and integrated it into its business operations. By reducing waste and promoting the circular economy, as well as promoting social responsibility through employee welfare programs and community development initiatives, Cascotec.com is paving the way for a more sustainable future in the UAE. ISO 26000 has played a significant role in guiding Cascotec.com's sustainability initiatives, providing the company with a framework for its operations and helping it to meet the expectations of its stakeholders.

Topic: Deku is a commissioned fanfic writer, one day however he is caught red-handed writing an Eraserhead x Present Mic x Ms Joke smut in class.
Fan Fiction
To most, it is just an enjoyment, however to Izuku it is a getaway. An opportunity to express what you wanted without the fear of being chastised and judged.
He was only eleven when he stumbled upon his first fanfic on a Pre-Quirk website that was still being used called Archive Our Own. Present Mic x reader is what sent Midoriya down the wormhole. Izuku then found out that there were books about anything he could dream of: Limelight Heros, Rescue Heroes, and if he was lucky the odd Underground hero here or there.
As a kid with unrestricted internet access and not many friends, Midoriya often found himself conversing with strangers on the internet, sure he knew the dangers of the web. He knew that there were people that liked to take advantage of kids his age, ‘Predators’ as his mother called it. But that didn’t stop him from joining group chats and making new friends.
‘EndeavorsLittleFlame’ was the name of his first commissioner Izuku was twelve at the time. He had just got home from a long day at school. He quickly made his way to the bathroom to patch up the cuts and bruises he received throughout the day, it had become second nature at this point. Come home, take a shower, bandage cuts, apply aloe vera on his burns, ice his bruises, do homework, and then hop onto his computer to read and write fanfics. He never strayed from these steps until today. He opened up Discord and saw that he had one message from a user called EndeavorsLittleFlame.
EndeavorsLittleFlame 02/12/2235 2:02 PM Hello, I see that you are an Ao3 writer. I would like to know if you do commissions. If you do, how much would it cost for a Female All Might x Endeavor smut?
ColorlessEmerald 02/12/2235 4:17 PM I have not ever done commissions however, I can't decide on a price until I have an idea of what you want. Are there any specific tags that you would like me to include or exclude, how many chapters, etc?
EndeavorsLittleFlame 02/12/2235 4:25 PM I would prefer if it were a two-shot. Some tags I would want are Hate Sex, Enemies with Benefits, Hair Pulling, Choking, Semi-Public, Car Sex, Degrading, Overstimulation, Aftercare, Top Endeavour, and Bottom All Might. For the storyline the two pros are doing an interview together. After some one sided bickering Endeavour ends up taking All Might to his car and they fuck.
ColorlessEmerald 02/12/2235 4:27 PM I can charge you 10 dollars, and have it ready in 3 days. Are you ok with that price?
EndeavorsLittleFlame 02/12/2235 4:28 PM I’m okay with that price. Do you take Venmo?
ColorlessEmerald 02/12/2235 4:29 PM I do
EndeavorsLittleFlame 02/12/2235 4:30 PM Great so I’ll send you the money
EndeavorsLittleFlame 02/12/2235 4:35 PM I just sent it
ColorlessEmerald 02/12/2235 4:36 PM I received it, I’ll get started on the fic. Nice doing business with you.
EndeavorsLittleFlame 02/12/2235 4:36 PM Same to you!
Once word spread business was booming, Midoriya averaged about 3 stories a week. All writers new the name of Colorless Emerald

2023.03.30 06:52 MudVoidspark Community Criticism
People with NPD have distorted perceptions of reality, especially as it relates to ourselves. The biggest error I see on NPD is to implicitly (or even worse, explicitly) validate and support the distorted perceptions of people who post here. Especially with anonymity and no accountability from those we interact with IRL, with no consequences for misrepresentations of reality or outright fabrications, and lacking any critical threat to our delusions of grandeur from collisions with an unflattering or conflicting reality, no challenges to our embellishing of our already biased fantastical depictions of ourselves, our lives, our importance, our relationships, our understanding of who we are and the world around us... People with NPD will often go online as a way to retreat, escape, and regain control over their threats to their self-important inflated egos and use the validation of overly sympathetic, uncritical audiences, many of whom are similarly narcissistic commenters who likewise want to bolster their esteem by presenting an image of someone who are nice, considerate, supportive, good people. There appears to be an unspoken contract that I see forming in the supposed community here which is pathologically engaging in emotional collaboration of one another's fantasies. People find it gratifying and validation to play out this role of mutual co-conspirator in each other's buttressing of the other's self-esteem in ways that both parties find gratifying and emotionally rewarding. And in ways that lack scrutiny, discipline, or genuine consideration for the mental well being of others. It's actually far more self-serving and toxic than one might first suspect from the whole feel-good charade that portrays this veneer of compassion, support, understanding, and comraderie. The happy gang of the down-trodden and maligned, but earnest and honestly self-examining themselves, trying to be vulnerable and grow... I really find it becoming more and more a PR performance that avoids vulnerability and authenticity in favor of non-reflective, plastic emotional narcosis and positive re-packaging of a very, very caustic outlook towards ourselves, others, and the world. We are not actually that nice. Pretending to be nice on reddit is just deceptive or reward-seeking faux-magnanimosity.
This emotionally engaged, supportive overly sympathetic, uncritical style of reply is perhaps the most common toxic dynamic I see on NPD and the greatest source of unhealthy contributions, not least of all for being so subtle and charming in its pseudopositivity. But it is, in no uncertain terms, enabling of pathological patterns of thoughts and behaviors. It's how you create an echo chamber of grandiose sympathetic circle jerking where people can escape from painful, uncertain, less flattering realities, and avoids examining or identifying our own weaknesses, flaws, inadequacies, or toxic qualities, or even our abusive patterns of behavior. Supportive Validating replies do not actually help people. If you are replying to posts in order to elicit positive emotional feedback or relieved, grateful reactions which paint you as helpful, emotionally uplifting, or whatever else, you should seriously rethink your motivations for even being here to begin with.
What do you really get out of your time here? Why do you continue to invest your energy into these discussions? Are your goals really in alignment with the best interests of everyone else who posts here or are they perhaps more self-serving than you would care to admit?
I'm of the mind that posters here should be aim to be neutral in representations of conflicts and should avoid posting positive, supportive, sympathetic, posts. In fact, I think the ideal reply should be neutral (in the psychotherapeutic sense), should be inquisitive and exploratory instead of expressions of agreement or declarations of opinion or judgment. Replies should avoid commands, telling people what to do or what they 'should' do, aka proscriptions, but instead be gently challenging and skeptical of any narratives presented without disbelieving or invalidating the words of the people who post here. And this would aplly especially to subjects involving interpersonal conflict and intimate relationships, most obviously if they are black and white depictions of family, friends, coworkers, and of course, romantic partners. Value laden judgments and historical accounts of our past, particularly those from our childhood, should not be given exception or other magical immunity for being 'traumatic' neither.
We ideally should avoid emotional, moral, critical, judgmental, supportive, or comparative evaluation. Instead, seek to guide people to fulfill these roles for themselves and to encourage emotional disclosure and reflection, most notably thru leading by example. Communicate how you feel, don't simply act on it. Contain your emotions, and express them, but don't let them consume you and cause you to judge others and take sides in a conflict which would be better served thru neutrality. Both sides of the conflict likely exist within us just as much as without us.
Personal anecdotes and relating to one another can be helpful, but often end up being self-serving and mutually masturbatory, if not outright self-centered attention seeking, envious attempts to direct focus, praise, and admiration onto the commenter instead of the original poster, and imo function to implicitly assert superiority over the original poster and potentially devaluing the poster.
Questions? Concerns? Criticisms? Lay em out.

What do you really get out of your time here? Why do you continue to invest your energy into these discussions? Are your goals really in alignment with the best interests of everyone else who posts here or are they perhaps more self-serving than you would care to admit?
I'm of the mind that posters here should be aim to be neutral in representations of conflicts and should avoid posting positive, supportive, sympathetic, posts. In fact, I think the ideal reply should be neutral (in the psychotherapeutic sense), should be inquisitive and exploratory instead of expressions of agreement or declarations of opinion or judgment. Replies should avoid commands, telling people what to do or what they 'should' do, aka proscriptions, but instead be gently challenging and skeptical of any narratives presented without disbelieving or invalidating the words of the people who post here. And this would aplly especially to subjects involving interpersonal conflict and intimate relationships, most obviously if they are black and white depictions of family, friends, coworkers, and of course, romantic partners. Value laden judgments and historical accounts of our past, particularly those from our childhood, should not be given exception or other magical immunity for being 'traumatic' neither.
We ideally should avoid emotional, moral, critical, judgmental, supportive, or comparative evaluation. Instead, seek to guide people to fulfill these roles for themselves and to encourage emotional disclosure and reflection, most notably thru leading by example. Communicate how you feel, don't simply act on it. Contain your emotions, and express them, but don't let them consume you and cause you to judge others and take sides in a conflict which would be better served thru neutrality. Both sides of the conflict likely exist within us just as much as without us.
Personal anecdotes and relating to one another can be helpful, but often end up being self-serving and mutually masturbatory, if not outright self-centered attention seeking, envious attempts to direct focus, praise, and admiration onto the commenter instead of the original poster, and imo function to implicitly assert superiority over the original poster and potentially devaluing the poster.
Questions? Concerns? Criticisms? Lay em out.

2023.03.30 06:51 LostArtist123 Had a breakdown at school today
I had a breakdown/emotional outburst (not sure what to call it) in public today. More specifically, at my college. Not in class (thank god for that) but still on campus, in the middle of our courtyard type area where I typically go after class (and where many people tend to hang out). For some reference/context, I fit into the “quiet BPD” subtype and, although I’m not a fan of this term, I’m generally “high functioning”.I’m generally able to keep my emotions internalized very well. I’ve rarely cried or had any sort of outburst around others or in public. So much stress had been building up due to school/work/family responsibilities. I’ve also been arguing with my partner (who is also my fp) constantly for the past few days. I was arguing with my partner over the phone today and already beginning to get very wound up. I could tell that my emotions were getting a bit out of control so I started trying to think of ways to get a grip of myself. Then my partner said something somewhat triggering in an overly aggressive tone and that was my last straw at that moment I guess. I started shaking. I cried, quietly at first. And then it fully hit me and every pent up emotion came out at once. I could no longer control myself. I started sobbing and shaking violently, I was yelling into the phone and just screaming, I was stomping around because my body felt so strange and tingly (from the inside) that I couldn’t even stay still. I generally don’t take my emotions out in any sort of physical way but I became so angry at the world around me that I even hit a fence gate thing repeatedly. I felt like I could hardly even breathe. I was aware that there were people staring at me in horror. I was aware that they were probably judging me. But none of that could stop me during that time. I eventually ended up letting myself collapse onto the ground and I just sat there and cried and cried for what felt like forever. Someone came up to check on me and ask if I was okay and if they could do anything and I thanked them but it also just made me cry more. A close friend who was in the area ended up coming to pick me up after I contacted them about what had happened and spent the next few hours helping me settle down properly. Now, hours later, I’m looking back on what happened today and I feel absolutely ashamed. Thinking about how I acted and remembering the expression on the other peoples faces makes me feel sick to my stomach. I feel so incredibly embarrassed and humiliated, I can’t even begin to put it into words. I’m not used to allowing any sort of emotion like that in public Part of me just wants to drop out and never show my face there again but the other part of me doesn’t want to just give up on my education like that.
I feel so terrible and I just don’t know what to do. Has anyone else had experience with something like this? If so, what did you do and how did you cope with the shame? Any replies with advice or even just words of support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you if you read all the way through.

2023.03.30 06:51 GrassAssasin Help! Being scammed by buyer
So I sold a ps4 pro with games , used returnmates for pick up and ship as it was only $3 extra. The buyer received the package and then sends me a nasty message saying I placed tomato cans inside the box where the ps4 goes. After reading many posts , I think I’m out a few hundred bucks or a ps4 pro .
I took pictures on how I packaged the items but Mercari doesn’t allow me to upload them . Is this a lost cause? I have sold many items and purchased many items, all have been smooth transactions .

2023.03.30 06:50 Available-Raisin-227 Does the hurt ever go away?
Hi all... A question has brought me to reddit today. Sorry it's a long post 😅 (M30) born and brought up in India. I thought I had a normal childhood and normal parents, but that facade came crashing down when I got married 2 years ago. I saw how mean, selfish, controlling and manipulative they are. My mother more than anyone else. I got hurt, my wife and her family got hurt and I came to know that I don't exactly like them afterall. I had been living separately from them since I finished college and moved to another city for a job. I think I should add here that nobody iny family has left their homes. Ever. My family and most of my extended family are into family run businesses and eventually all the children join in. I never really analysed why I don't visit home more than twice a year. Why I've never shared too much personal information with them. I tried talking sense into them, tried to make them realise that whatever shit they were pulling is causing a lot of pain to me and my in laws. My mother controlled the entire wedding. She turned over every decision our families made together. And when I tried confronting her about it she denied everything. Said nobody made any decisions so she had to. She also made me use up all my savings for the "lavish" wedding we never wanted. Also took away the gifts we got at the wedding. Claimed them as hers. My whole family failed to see my point and now they all think I'm an asshole who hates his mother because now he has a wife. My wife had many breakdowns throughout this whole thing but has been supportive of me this entire time. I feel guilty for ruining her life by bringing her into this mess. Her family is more open, the elders actually listen to their children. The opinions and feelings of the children actually matter in her family. But now I'm scared to bond with them as well. Anyway, I decided to cut them out of my life after a year long struggle after my wedding. I kept calling them, talking to them asking them to acknowledge their share of mistakes and make some efforts towards me and my wife. They did no such thing. Instead, they blamed me for being impolite with them. My in-laws used to talk to them but they responded harshly to them as well. I'm barely in touch with my family now. They call once every couple of months, behave as if my wife doesn't exist, talk to me for 2 whole minutes and then I'm cut off again. Now getting to my question: Despite the betrayal and anger, I still miss them. Or a part of me who wished to be with them in their old age hurts and misses them. I miss my hometown and my mother's food. I hate that my wife will never get to taste it. Does this hurt ever go away? I've been grieving for like a year and I still can't shake this feeling. Any tips?

2023.03.30 06:50 Ak1hikoKayaba My duo sucks at the game.
I’d say I’m a pretty good player. Lost track of how many wipes it’s been, at least 6 or 7 and 2k hours in game. I’m a solid pvper, I can 1v2 fairly easily and 1v3s+ aren’t uncommon. My friend tho, he’s not good. Quick context, I play with two irl friends, and hardly play solo anymore. My one friend used to be bad, but I’ve coached him and we’ve gone over game footage of deaths to remedy bad habits and whatnot. He’s now a solid player and my go-to duo. My other friend, he’s got nearly 1k hours in the game and can barely kill a pmc in an even fight. He needs multiple advantages in order to win a 1v1, and 1v2ing is extremely rare for him. Now, I love my friends. But it’s very difficult to play with friend 2 when his play style is just so different than mine. His instinct is to run from every fight. He leaves me hanging in the middle of engagements because he can’t rotate or flank, doesn’t know how to peek properly, and can’t kill a scav in one shot even if it’s standing still.
I’m finding it harder and harder to play with him, because there’s just no flow. There’s no synergy. How can I explain these things to him without ruining the friendship? I should note, he takes no interest in any advice or coaching I attempt to give him, so I stopped trying. Which is fine, if he’s happy with his skill level, good for him. But I have no idea how to approach the topic. This is the main game we both play and I need to tell him that it’s getting harder and harder to carry him through every single raid.

2023.03.30 06:50 pwa09 Regarding the USA, why can’t we implement a limit on how many guns a citizen can buy?
Wouldn’t it make sense to put a maximum limit on how many guns someone can buy? If I read correctly, the person who murdered the children and teachers in Nashville bought 7 guns from different places. Wouldn’t it be beneficial to have some sort of national database that tracks how many purchased guns a person has bought, and if it reaches a significant number in a short period of time it would raise red flags and be sent to law enforcement to investigate?
For example, if it showed a 27 year old person (man or woman) buying 7 different guns over the span of a few weeks, it should alert the local law enforcement that it’s a bit unusual for these many purchases to be so close together.
I would be okay if the average citizen legally owned no more than 3 guns maximum.

I’m excited because I know it’s a more selective platform - I’m a ghostwriter with a specialty in children’s books and middle grade fiction. Would love to hear other people’s experiences (such as how many clients you get, how much you’re able to make, etc).

2023.03.30 06:49 jman1256 Percentage based calculation
I'm currently playing a game where to upgrade something takes an item and gives a percentage based on how many are used per upgrade. 1=25% 2=50% 3=75% 4=100%
My question is what is the most cost effective amount to be used assuming each time always costs the same per level. Is it better to just take the 100% chance using the most items or is there a better option. Despite asking this for the sake of a game I am interested in the math to get there as well if possible.

2023.03.30 06:49 dannyboi786 Why does this always happen to my eczema at such crucial moments?
Flare ups all year round across my entire body and face that never responds to prescribed steroids and emollients. Finally get an appointment with the dermatologist next week after waiting for one year.
And now my eczema has reduced significantly all of a sudden over the past week. How am I now supposed to prove to the dermatologist that I’m not lying?
This disease has destroyed my career, my friendships as well as relationships with family and relatives. I’ve become more depressed and stressed. I’m just so tired. And now I’m going to come across as a liar. It’s just so unfair.
I’ve been dismissed many times by my GP for the same reason. As soon as I have an appointment regarding my skin condition, it’s always in the ‘healing’ phase. FML.

2023.03.30 06:49 SwarupKumarNath Basic Understanding of Hardware Software Interface
Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I want to share with you some insights on the hardware software interface, which is the boundary between the physical components of a computer system and the programs that run on it. The hardware software interface is crucial for the performance, reliability and security of any computing system, as it defines how the hardware and software interact with each other.
The hardware software interface consists of two main components: the instruction set architecture (ISA) and the application binary interface (ABI). The ISA is the set of instructions that the processor can execute, such as arithmetic operations, memory access, control flow and input/output. The ISA defines the basic functionality of the processor and how it communicates with other hardware devices. The ABI is the set of conventions that define how a program interacts with the operating system and libraries, such as calling conventions, data types, system calls and exception handling. The ABI defines how a program can use the services provided by the software environment.
The hardware software interface is important for several reasons. First, it enables compatibility and portability of programs across different platforms. A program written for a specific ISA and ABI can run on any processor that implements the same ISA and ABI, without requiring any modification or recompilation. Second, it enables abstraction and modularity of programs. A program can be divided into modules that communicate through well-defined interfaces, hiding the implementation details of each module. This makes the program easier to understand, maintain and reuse. Third, it enables optimization and innovation of programs. A program can take advantage of the features and capabilities of the hardware and software environment, such as parallelism, caching, virtualization and security mechanisms, to improve its performance and functionality.
If you are interested to understand more about the Hardware Software Interface, then you can go through the PiEmbSysTech Hardware Software Interface Tutorial Blog. If you have any questions or query, that you need to get answer or you have any idea to share it with the community, you can use Piest Forum.
The hardware software interface is a fascinating topic that covers many aspects of computer science and engineering. By understanding how the hardware and software work together, you can develop better programs that are efficient, reliable and secure. I hope you enjoyed this blog post and learned something new. Stay tuned for more posts on interesting topics in computing!

I cut contact with my mom around the end of summer last year and it hits harder than other days. I feel instant guilt and regret when I think “man, I could be a lot more stressed out if I was talking to her”. I feel guilty when I think about my olde brother cutting contact with all of us. So now it’s 2/3 kids no talking to her. I know she’s been through a lot and she told me a couple of things from her teenager years and it was indeed fucked up and then add on my dad’s suicide… but after my last therapy session I realize that the way she acted towards me as I grew up wasn’t any different than before my dad died. I realized that he was the buffer between us and that’s my biggest reason for always being so pissed at him. Like dude… you saw her giving me the silent treatment and me crying because no matter how many times I apologized or however many ways I tried, she wouldn’t even look at me. He was the only one to show and encourage my interest and writing. I haven’t written shit in 5-6 years because she fucking destroyed that with “You make yourself depressed so you can be a better writing”. I don’t remember my reaction but I can still hear those words.
And I sit here and think about all the things I have issues with and dear god. I feel like I keep trying to make excuses for her and blame myself instead. My happiest memories are with my dad and him playing with us. But I don’t remember my mom playing with us very often. We’d ask her to get in the pool and that was a no because of her hair. Took us to beach and would have her feet in the water but nothing else. I really tried to remember an instance of her playing but I can’t. All I have is us sitting on the couch and either my head is on her lap and she’s playing with my hair or i was playing with hers because I was trying to figure hair in general.
I remembered right now that the first time she read my journal was like first or second grade and read from it in front of my dad and little brother. And then she did it again when I was in high school and yelled at me for a while because I called her names in it. But that’s what it was for. To get all these cyclical, dark, awful things out of my head. The kind of things you say out of anger because you don’t mean it and don’t want to hurt the other person.
I told my therapist this and other stuff and she just… her eyes would go wide. And my best friend too but she just told me she was angry for me. That all I was asking for from my mom was basic stuff but she gave me none of that. Unless you count the number of times she reminded me that she birthed me, fed me, sheltered me, and clothed me. Like k thanks.
I came out of non-binary in 2018. I had to get her to come to a therapy session because it was the only place I felt safe. It went to shit real quick. Next session I have, my therapist tells me “I am 65 years old, a few months from retiring. I have been doing this a long time and I think this is the first time I’ve had to say this. Don’t listen to your mother.” and I just cried for the rest of that session because someone finally saw it. Someone finally saw how she treats me. I always had to apologize for everything and hearing that it wasn’t my job to… that was… a lot.
My final straw was her not understanding what I was saying when I said I, a very all-around queer person, am not safe in Texas. Then she told me no woman feels safe in Texas. Like she really went for that double hitter. Misgendered and dismissed all of my concerns. I texted her that she needs to apologize and call me the right name and pronouns or not talk to me. Three days of silence was it for me and I blocked her. Holidays come around and she sends a gift and my birthday is around christmas and she sent a gift for that too. Both were from Amazon so I caved for a moment and sent her a thank you message via Amazon. Nothing else since then though so…
She’s the last parent I have and I feel like I need to just get over it and accept it but she can’t even answer me when I ask if she even likes me. “You say you love me but do you even like me?” Nothing. Meanwhile:
Her: I love you
Me: Love you more
Her: I gave birth to you. I win
while also saying at random times that she only loves us BECAUSE she gave birth to us. But then also saying shit like “I could’ve dropped you off at the fire station”
I did get her to stop when she startd again with the “I gave birth to you”. I told her she didn’t have to birth and/or keep me.
This is just a stream of consciousness at this point. I just… I don’t have anyone and I’m just alone and very tired.

Her: I gave birth to you. I win
while also saying at random times that she only loves us BECAUSE she gave birth to us. But then also saying shit like “I could’ve dropped you off at the fire station”
I did get her to stop when she startd again with the “I gave birth to you”. I told her she didn’t have to birth and/or keep me.
This is just a stream of consciousness at this point. I just… I don’t have anyone and I’m just alone and very tired.

Hi everyone,
I found a forgotten lot of games at my parents house when I went to visit. I thought I had sold all my games and systems in the past, but I was very wrong. Previously I sold my N64, NES, etc. games on eBay, but all the best ones were literally bought by Lukie Games. I'd rather list here than sell it to resellers.
Since I’ve got no confirmed transactions here, I’d be happy to do PayPal G&S to build community confidence. I’d eventually prefer to move away from it to other methods like F&F, Venmo etc. once it's felt I'm more established.
Nearly all of the games are in excellent condition and many come CIB. A number of the loose games (Game Boy) also have instruction manuals that are in excellent condition, which are noted in the table below. Most of the items should have pics in the links below, please let me know if I'm missing anything (Warning, photo dumps!):

I'm very happy to take more pictures for anyone who would like; please let me know whatever you need and I'll be glad to provide. I have twin 10mo old girls and one of them requires extra special attention, so I may need more time than the average person to get you them :) Apologies in advance!
All prices are shipped. Combining games would take some $ off the total. Open to offers for most listed, some are more firm than others.

For Indians, it is compulsory to have a cup of tea in the morning; otherwise, their whole day would be tiring. Chai is a delightful and amazing drink. Also, it is a very popular drink. Imagine how the business would run when so many people are fond of chai. |
2023.03.30 06:48 Badevilbunny A challenge for you
My friends and I are having fun with this challenge - level 1 no armour, weapons, summons or items, how many different items can you get/steal before you die. Once you die, you stop.
Torrent allowed.
Ride, run, jump and steal all you can find. If you dare, you can use your bare fists, but I would not unless it is as a last resort.
Multiple items, like flowers, consumables etc. count as 1 item. Stones count as 1 item per stone type and level. I.e. how many slots in your inventory can you fill.
No glitching. We are not cheats we are honourrable thieves. Die and you stop and count your loot.
If you are tired of a fight and want a break, make a new character and have a go.
Checklist here is you want one: https://scripterswar.com/EldenRing/completion
So how much can you steal... ?

2023.03.30 06:48 liddybvck I'm just so over it.
For the past few months, my anxiety has gotten worse, and I'm not sure why. It's starting to become a real problem and most of it pertains to work. I have nothing to worry about at my job, so I'm not sure what the problem is. It's so unbearable it makes me want to kill myself, so I've been trying to plan that out for the past few days. It could also be because I have exactly 2 physical in-real-life friends as most of my friends are online. These two friends are always busy and one of them lives 6 hours away so I never get any social interaction other than my job, which isn't their fault, but it would be nice to feel like I'm cared about. I've been cutting a lot more recently. I bought razors at work the other day and my coworker asked what I was cutting with them and I sort of just laughed. Imagine if she knew.
I just don't see the point anymore. I know I'm always going to feel like this and be like this, no matter how many variations of medication I take. I keep looking for things to keep me going and it just isn't happening. I think this is finally it for me.
