[author0] Had parks and rec in my watch list for 2-3 months I had it in my watch list ever since I saw it advertised on sky comedy and I found it on prime in U.K. and finally started watching it a few days ago I am on episode 6 of season 1
And I really love the theme song
(I watch a load of shows so that’s why it took me ages to get around to starting this) [author1] Just wait It only gets better! [author0] And what season you think is the best and should it have gotten more than 7.
Can you list me your top 20 shows
This is mine but can change
1. The walking dead
2. Modern family
3. Game of thrones
4. Vikings
5. Seinfeld
6. The Simpsons
7. Breaking bad
8. Cheers
9. The office
10. Homeland
11. Better call Saul
12. Big Bang theory (can be higher)
13. Two and a half men
14. Stranger things (can be higher)
15. Boardwalk empire (can be higher)
16. Magnum pi (original)
17. Family guy (can be higher)
18. Only fools and horses (can be higher)
19. Happy days (if only it was app on dvd in U.K.)
20. The wire (can be higher)
This is just my top 20 but can change I watch loads more than this
Can’t even consider parks and rec as I have not even gotten to season 2 yet [author2] Not knocking your list at all cause it's your opinion and you're absolutely entitled to it! But man, the walking dead at 1 is a head scratcher compared to some of the others on your list. Can't think of another show that progressively lost my interest faster. [author0] I think as time goes on walking dead might drop to around 5-10 but this is just only my top 20 when I watch around 50-70 shows not including movies and this list changes all the time
I do watch fear but it is too 30 at best and world beyond yet to air [author2] I watched until Negan and the guy with the tiger. Just lost interest. I'll agree that it was a great show for the first couple seasons! I'm just so surprised it's still going on.

[author0] [FT] Celeste, Meteor Shower and Sahara! [LF] Materials, NMT, Paper Lantern Pretty solid meteor shower going on for my island right now! I'll take groups of 4 for 15 minutes, starting a timer after the last person arrives and kicking once that's done.
Not sure I'll be able to trap Celeste or Sahara effectively but teamwork should make it a quick job of finding them!
Sahara is selling **Exquisite Wallpaper** and I forget what else, will update shortly
Nooks and Ables now closed.
Watering plants is always appreciated! Do be careful around them! I'll leave some cans lying around.
​
**Looking for (but not mandatory!)**
1. Stone (lots)
2. Wood (some)
3. ~~Paper Lanterns (5-6)~~

[author0] My husband wants to move out My husband and I have been married for 12 years. He has been struggling with alcohol for many years and over the last 1 1/2 years he has entered detox twice. This second time was most recently and while in detox he made the decision that he wanted to move out because he feels we are toxic for one another. I have for the last couple of years debated with the issue of separating due to his drinking but with this most recent detox him now so sure that he wants to stay sober, I am unable to accept or understand his decision because he says he can only do it while being on his own.We have 3 boys and I am afraid of what they might face if their dad doesn’t follow through. My thoughts are he can get better with us and we can work on this together. Am I being unrealistic and unreasonable?? Should I respect his decision?? Should I give him the space and allow him the time to heal and then allow myself and family to heal too??Will our family be one again??I am so confused, I am hurting.. [author0] Thank you for your words. I feel I am struggling to find understanding because I am only focusing on my own needs. I know what needs to happen and clarity and unselfish wants will more than likely get me there. Thanks [author1] Your needs aren't selfish. :) But we also can't control our addicts. We can't control anyone but ourselves.
You gotta let him do what he thinks he needs, not because it's better for him (only time will tell) but because it is better for you.

[author0] Cookie Monster vs. Frozen Cookies Hi! I'm new to Cookie Clicker and I am trying to make the best choices. I promised I searched for an answer to this question, and didn't see one, though I imagine it's been asked before.
I've added both Cookie Monster and Frozen Cookies. The two disagree on what the best choice is and I'm wondering why the difference in the suggestions. I see that Cookie Monster is calculating the Payback Period while Frozen Cookies is calculating "efficiency" but I'm not sure what the theoretical choice is for choosing between those two.
Any guidance or thoughts are appreciated! [author1] The difference is that Frozen Cookies is broken—for some reason it’s incorrectly calculating what should be purchased.
My advice is to use both (load FC first, then CM), and to avoid the auto-purchase feature of FC until/unless it is fixed. Until then, the cookie and wrinkler clicking features still work. [author2] Which FC version are you talking about that’s broken? I forked my own from Chevron42‘s in 2018 and it doesn’t seem to be clearly broken. But I also have no comparison to something else than my own rough estimations as I don’t use CM. [author1] The only one I was able to find was the version linked on the wiki.
Do you have an alternate? [author2] Try one of these:

[author0] They can try 3D all they want - I will forever love the sprite-based King Of Fighters games. Shame on SNK for the PS2 compilation being 480i though... [author1] never really got into SNK fighters but I do love Capcom vs SNK 1 & 2. [author0] Those are two excellent fighting games, hands down ✌🏻. I played a LOT of them in high school on Dreamcast. Was SO hyped when I learned to burn games and found a disc image for CVS2.

[author0] How do I wash my penis properly? Hi, I’m 16 years of age and just discovered that you have to wash underneath the foreskin and the head of the penis. Previously I thought you just had to clean the testicles and the outer skin of the penis but I was wrong apparently.
I done some research on the matter and found that a cheesy substance called smegma can build and I looked at some pictures and it was frankly disgusting. So, i pulled back the foreskin and what I saw shocked me; the smegma was everywhere. In addition I can’t pull back the foreskin fully only about 3/4 of the way so there must be more underneath there.
I intend to wash it all off tomorrow in the shower so I just wanted to know the steps of washing off smegma.
Do I need to use soap?
Do I just use my fingers or a tissue or washcloth or something?
Have I discovered this too late and will I need to visit a doctor for this?
Thank you [author1] Water and gentle soap if necessary is enough. [author0] Should I just use my finger to rub off the smegma or something else like a washcloth? [author1] Fingers are totally safe! [author0] Thank you!

[author0] Encounter help for a new DM? I'll keep this short, so long story short, undead are invading a city, and the PC s are tasked with finding a relic in a church of the city that can destroy all the undead. I have zero idea what encounters to use. The two main big baddies are an undead ogre and an undead word, but I may want to spice them up a tad. The party (all 3rd lvl)consists of:
Paladin
Rogue
Druid/Bard
Wizard
maybe one more? Probably not
I also plan to have the PCs rescue some civs along the way too
Thank you!!! [author1] What books do you have available? If you have access to Eberron it has a template for living spells. By nerfing the health and ac of one of them you could have a living "Create Undead" be around which summons and creates more corpses during the battle.
Also husk zombies from Wildemount are essentially the same deal. The more they kill the more zombies are made.
Other stuff comes down to what exactly the story is. Are cultsist behind this? Just the zombies themselves? Are spectres helping? Shadows and ghosts and such could be very nasty. Skeletons also mixed with zombies could work. [author0] It's supposed to be an invasion of sorts. The strong ones are being taken care of by the city leaders, while the PCs get the relic. It's cultists, yeah, and i'd assume there are different types of beasties too. And I have all books available. [author1] Well cultists organising the raid makes sense to have in it as an adventure. Could serve the same purpose of the previously mentioned living spell as well.

[author0] A Parks and Recreation Special - Episode Discussion *Leslie Knope is determined to stay connected with all of her friends and family in Pawnee, Ind., during this time of social distancing.*
Didn't see an episode discussion. Everyone get in here. Don't tell Jerry. [author1] This special is hilarious! Has absolutely exceeded my expectations!
The reasons they gave to as to why the couples were separated made perfect sense. Andy and Chris' reasons were especially hilarious
The news segments and ads... it's all too good. We don't deserve everyone who worked on this show [author2] Chris' reason wasn't funny though; a lot of nurses are avoiding contact with their families, or even staying in hotels. Andy's reason was frickin perfect though. [author3] It was funny in that he called it the “wings” of their house. My first thought was are they now really rich? No, or at least not that we see, it’s just normal rooms of a normal house (as far as we know).
I like that they made this the reason they were apart. [author4] Isn’t Chris on the board of directors, or some kind of administrator for UM now or something like that? I’d imagine they’re pretty well off.

[author0] [Discussion] Customs of gift giving with Asian Parents I'd like to hear about how your parents dealt with giving and receiving gifts.
My parents own a salon and have 10-12 workers. For Christmas, my mom always goes all out and buys each worker something nice, which is really nice of her. One year, it was purses, another year it was shoes & Starbucks gift cards, last year it was expensive MK winter jackets.
I wish I could say it was out of the goodness of her heart but it seems purely transactional like she's obligated to give them gifts.
For example, the workers always give me money for Christmas since I work at the salon and help them throughout the year with various tasks. It ends up being a total of $100 between the 10 or so of them. Because they give me money, my mom says she must "pay them back" with presents so she isn't indebted to them. Her presents end up being worth a lot more than the $100 I receive which makes me feel bad.
Does anyone else have this experience?
Would love to hear your thoughts. [author1] Everything works this way. It’s why APs demand you get married. Wedding gifts are your family’s payout from the wedding gift mutual fund. Every time they gave money to a couple, they were paying in. Some parents keep track of how much they expect. [author0] Ah yes, weddings. I can't remember if the bride's family or the groom's family pays for weddings (within Vietnamese culture).

[author0] How the hell do you stop near close flex? This cancer is the worst thing I’ve ever gone up against [author1] You have to blitz all lb, move your safeties (i would spy one) and user one, And base align. Sometimes they get it but I mean you have to send heat so they don’t have the time to break on that corner. [author2] Or just put the strong side safety in a cloud and quarter the corner. It’s not that hard [author1] Do you blitz your lb too? Or man or spy them? [author2] Usually blitz the outside and man or spy inside

[author0] No Tutorial = No Alaska? Just making sure i'm not derping again: i restarted my game a few days ago, and in doing so i skipped the tutorial. Does this mean i can no longer get to Alaska?
The global shows the garage being unlocked, but i can't see it on the north port map, so i can't teleport to it
Again, i'm probably just being a dum-dum here, so i figured i would ask the denizens of reddit for guidance
EDIT: Its actually Russia and Alaska: seems that tutorial is quite important to finish if you want to unlock the rest of the maps :(
EDIT 2: Well thankfully i was able to find an older save that had some of the important stuff unlocked, and i was able to copy the fog_level and sts_level dat files to my current save, which gave me access to the garages on the two maps. Crisis averted!.
Leaving this up in case anyone else has this issue; maybed it can be helpful to both them and the developers as they try to sort out bugs! [author1] I skipped tutorial because I was stuck in the first garage. Couldn’t leave, tried it all.
Skipping tutorial felt defeating, like I was missing something, if what you say is true. You may have just saved me many hours from the future. Lol
And here I was thinking I would escape from bugs
[PS4] [author0] If its the same basic code (and i would imagine it is), then this might save somebody a whole lot of frustration. DO THE TUTORIAL, otherwise it looks like you don't get access to the other maps.
I'm guessing its a bug that the developers will want to investigate, i just found a workaround for me. Key point was having some of the backup saves that you get on PC that had the garage locations unlocked and some of the fog cleared; if i didn't have those from my first ever savegame, i'd be out of luck

[author0] Can't get to 300% stagger Hey guys, I'm trying to get the 300% stagger trophy but cant. I do exactly the same thing as in the video I watched, tifas omni and rise moves 2x each then keep using the uppercut (omni 1 more time). The best I've done is 285%. The stagger bar seems to drop faster in my game than in the video. Can someone please give me a solution to this? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks [author1] Cast STOP on a tough monster or boss that is vulnerable or only has a lesser resistance to it when they are staggered. It freezes the Stagger-Bar and makes it much easier to reach 300%.
Edit: *Oh lol someone already gave you this advice.* Good luck, man. [author0] Ya they did but that's cool. I'm doing it on the fat chocobo and I dont think stop works on him. But I'll try anyways. Thanks!

[author0] How to motivate lazy ENFJs? I have a coworker (ENTP) who supervises an ENFJ employee (whom I'm also friends with). I've been getting frustrated comments from the ENTP about the ENFJ who doesn't seem to respond to any words/warnings. I am wondering what's the best way to re-energize or re-motivate ENFJs?
Note: I used "lazy" but it's a broad term to mean - unmotivated, sloppy, forgetful etc. [author1] Show them they’re appreciated. If I don’t believe I’m appreciated IDGAF about a job. It’s why I’ve been self employed since 2008 [author0] Thank you. I'll have to pass this info on to his supervisor.

~~As a bonus I will be paying you 50,000 bells if u have a clothesline or a clothesline pole. (75,000 for both hehe).~~
~~Regarding the wood, i'll give you 3 NMT for 4 stacks.~~
-> And also realized I need fruit boxes, one of each kind. Offering 3 NMT for the whole set. [author1] I can help with wood and a few trashes [author0] Great! How many trash bags can you make so I can sort out some NMT? [author1] 2 total. I have a few extra tires and boots but I was making succulents earlier so i am low on cans. [author0] That's alright! How many stacks of wood do you have? :) [author1] 4, I usually do 1 NMT per stack, so with the 2 trash bags I can do 5 and if you'd like i can throw in another boot and a tire if you can find a can. [author0] Nah its fine with just the 4 stacks and 2 trash bags. So 5 NMT it is! Are you available?

[author0] What are my options for my 7MO? Several more questions to ask My 7MO just got back from his 6 month vaccinations. \~19.5lbs, \~27.5" long/tall. I come back to search "baby growth chart" or baby "development chart" and I always get results for "baby weight chart/develop" but never "height chart" let alone a direct link that indicates both height and weight chart. I would have to click on Google images and decipher the images and it still only gives me the weight chart...... UGH! Anyone have a link to give me both height and weight in freedom units?
Baby no longer uses the bassinet and co-sleeps with me. I can't afford a crib right now so we share a full size bed. He doesn't have a mom so it's just the two of us. What are my options in keeping him from falling off the bed? I have one of those IKEA beds that's maybe 2 feet off the ground. I have the bed pushed up against the wall and he sleeps on the outside (it's just easy to move him around). I stuff some pillows to the side and seems to be working fine for now.
How do I get through my emotional rut? I'm still experiencing bouts of sadness. I've been prescribed Zoloft to deal with the depression. I'm an emotional wreck, I've lost all interest in everything I do, just going through the motions, and I've gained 57lbs as a single father since he was born. I went from 4-pack abs going to the gym every day to not even fitting into my clothes anymore. I try not to take Zoloft and prefer to talk it out with my therapist. Many times I can't help but to think my son doesn't have a mom and I don't even know what or how to react when one day he asks me where his mom is. sigh... I'm sad again... :'( If you have any comforting words you wanna send my way, I thank you in advance. :( [author1] My dear friend, everything is going to be ok. Take a deep breath, and let it all go. Don't worry about your son's height. Why are you worried about his height? I'd worry more about his weight because that's more of an indicator of his health. We can't control the height of our offspring.
With the bed, you're doing a great job. My four year old never had a crib, she coslept with my husband and I until she was 2, then we transitioned her to a twin bed. I believe it's best to keep that connection with your baby until they show they're ready to sleep on their own. My husband and I still take turns laying in her bed with her until she falls asleep. Babies don't really thrash around as much as we think when they're sleeping, but keeping pillows on the side of the bed is definitely a good safety measure. Maybe put him on the inside of the bed instead of the outside, and keep extra pillows on the floor just in case he does fall.
You're adjusting to having an infant around at all times, and that's enough to turn any parent's world upside down. It's a hard time for anyone! As your baby becomes older and gradually more independent, you'll start to bounce back yourself. The first couple years are the hardest, but you seem to be doing a great job.
Keep talking to your therapist. It's great that you already have one. As far as what to tell your son about his mom, that's hard to say, I don't know that situation there. That is a conversation best for your therapist. Having only you around is his "normal," and I'm sure you won't have to have that conversation with him for a few years.
Keep hanging in there! Keep giving your baby lots of love and comfort. You are doing just fine. [author0] Thank you for the kind words. I really need it.

[author0] If I'm switching to a new laptop, should I just Chronium to disk image my old laptop top to the new one, then use Samsungs data migration software to copy everything from the new laptop to a ssd ? Both laptops are using HDDs and I have an extra internal 500gb Samsung ssd laying around... [author1] Never heard of Chronium before, but I've used Macrium Reflect many times before and it seemed to work great. It copied over everything from the old HDD over to my new SSD (Windows and other files). Or perhaps you could try Acronis True Image. However, considering you're moving all these to a new laptop, you should probably avoid cloning the disk (drivers from the old laptop may not match with the new laptop), and just transfer files you need. [author2] Second this. Reflect is the best for this task in my experience.

[author0] First Job Offer Withdrawn I am a new graduate (January 2020), and I accepted my first position in a Nurse Residency program on my dream unit at the end of March. It was suppose to start May 10th but about a week after accepting the position the start date was changed to August 10th. I was bummed but understood that training resources and educators were being used to support the frontlines. Today, just as I crossed into my new home state (I moved practically across the country) I received a phone call from a recruiter in the health system that they are withdrawing my offer of employment and canceling the residency program.
I'm devastated, stressed, and anxious. If anyone has any advice or positive vibes it would be greatly appreciated. I miss nursing. I'm ready to start my career but today just made it seem practically impossible. [author1] Keep your head up nursing sister/brother, there will always be people who will need you and your skills. It may not be the year for you but your career will be a long one and you want to be able to have the education and guidance you deserve. Sending love and hugs from Aus! You got this !

[author0] Storing handguns loaded vs unloaded I was just having this argument with my cousins I was curious with what the rest of this sub thinks. Now I haven’t owned guns for all that long but when storing mine I keep it unloaded however I understand if someone lives alone or doesn’t have younger kids around then keeping it on a nightstand is fine. They were arguing that it’s not safe to keep firearms loaded in a safe even if you do live alone. What do y’all think? [author1] I have kids, including at that curious age when they do boneheaded stuff. I have a 2 level home. In my bedroom I have 1 gun with a loaded magazine, empty chamber. I realize I am less "ready" than if it were chambered, but I am intentionally sacrificing that readiness for the safety of an unloaded gun. On my second level I keep hidden up high a revolver in a holster with retention. So while it is always chambered because it is a revolver, the holster and where it's placed offers enough protection for me. Every other gun is kept unloaded, behind 2 locked doors and separate from ammo. [author2] Why not lock up your home defense guns in quick access safe(s) and keep them loaded?

[author0] Anyone else get instantly approved by Credibly? PPP Loan I submitted an application and had the DocuSign documents almost instantly?? how is that even possible? I also received DocuSign papers a couple of weeks ago from Paypal but for the wrong (and much lower amount) and has been sitting in queue without SBA approval. I'm now wondering if I should call to cancel my Paypal application so that I can get the right $ from the Credibly process, but I worry the Credibly process was automated and not looked at by a human (it was literally less than 2 minutes before I got the DocuSign after I submitted my application). Did anyone else have this experience with Credibly? are they just blindly accepting all apps or what's going on??? [author1] It's not truly approved unless you have a promissory note with an SBA numbet [author0] yeah that's what I figured. Now I need to decide whether to pull the (earlier Paypal app with lower $) or take the chance with my recent Credibly app for the full $ but a later position in line... ugh

[author0] Question on forced violations of precepts Hello guys! The situation in China made me think about the dynamics of holding precepts when you are not in control of your body. In case you haven't heard, Muslims and subsects represented by Uighur groups in China are being concentrated in reeducation camps and forced to violate their precepts. They are forced to eat pork and drink alcohol and these practices have been going on for years. It's probably the same in the Buddhist concentration camps, which are populated from places such as Tibet and Buddhist communities in China.
Any theories on whether or not you break precepts if your body breaks them?
You may take a stance of protection behind lack of intention not generating kamma. This is true but has several problems. You may initially have no desire for alcohol, but repeated exposure may incline your mind towards developing a desire and an intention to violate the precept. You may not have the clarity of mind to ground yourself at all.
You may claim extraordinary circumstance, but the Pali Canon is full of the Buddha's admonishment against this defense. Killing is completely prohibited even to save others. If you find yourself in a situation where you have a life but no Dharma, it is advised to remove yourself to a situation with Dharma but with no life. The zeal varies depending on the topic, but is pointed for precepts.
Finally some people say this topic is pointless to cover as it won't happen to you. This is not the case as it is happening to people in China this moment and it has happened in history before.
Reiterating the question, what should be done to avoid breaking the precepts in situations where you don't have control over your body or when you're forced to break them otherwise?
Finally, please do not advocate breaking the precepts. [author1] What you are describing is a hell. The point is to make a person an animal or worse. If we ever find ourselves there we must hang on to our virtue the best we can. Can this mean mistreatment, torture, and death? Yes. The dhamma is the only true safety. But in those situations we will likely break, and truly enter hell. There is nothing to be done until conditions change at that point. This is why finding that part of us that isn't moved by sensations, feelings, perceptions, and intentions is so important. When that place is found there is no decent into hell. [author0] Excellent analysis! Any recommended reading on reaching a place of non reactivity? [author1] That is something the Thai Forest ajaans teach. Read what they teach and then do it.
www.dhammatalks.org
www.forestdhamma.org [author0] I have read most of the Pali Canon, but I don't see that (non-reactivity) other than a side effect of the Jhanas. Any synonyms for it or specific practices? [author1] I don't know what to tell you other than do what the noble ones teach. The Buddha continually talked about jhana. Go do jhana. What good has all your reading done, if you haven't established an idea of what is to be done?

[author0] KHX and why I think it damages the franchise I'll preface this by saying I have completed the console games, and have myself got well into the mobile game, up to mission 800 or something and that this isn't a hate post on the mobile game (MG from here) itself.
My issue with the mobile game stems from it having some of THE most important lore about the KH world itself. The story in KHX practically tells us why the KH world is the way it is, and has some amazing characters in it. The games story plays out like a fun mystery that links up with different parts of the Console series (CS from here on out) that keeps you engrossed on what will happen next. It's honestly like reading a book that gets constant updates and that's what keeps you invested.
The story in KHX, is too good to be just on mobile.
So why does this damage the CS? because it is constantly updating itself, it adds to each of the CS stories in a way that makes them clearer and more in-depth... it does this the "worst" for KH3. ALOT of the plot in KH3, revolves around alot of the 800-1000 missions in the MG which alot of casual players will struggle to get to as the medals needed to beat even the harder ended 800 missions need to be Ultima level strength (but we all know the majority are just waiting for our best pal Everglow to upload). In the most recent episodes, we learn more about how Malificient is so powerful and learnt alot about Strelitiza and Marluxia. Which brings me onto my next point... Strelitzia and the guardian theory that has sprouted from this newest episode. There is only one other person in the CS that has been able to use a "summon" in combat, and that is Terranort. Xemnas doesn't even have the ability to summon Guardian. Marluxia on the other hand, has his own summon in KHCOM (that he convieniently forgot how to use in 3) that NO other Org member is capable of. In KHX, Strels last words to Marl are about how she will be his vanguard, and he joked she will carry him and her last appearance is that of a white robed figure with a shaded face to hid her face. Now when you look at Marluxias guardian in KHCOM... it's VERY similar to Strel herself... even down to the flowing red ribbons on the 1st form of the guardian (the one he rides).
The more that KHX updates and the CS stagnates, the worse things become in terms of lore... which is evident in KH3. Unless you are outright told the importance of the original "secret" boss or whatever the fuck cirithy is or how it relates to Ven, you would NEVER know. The back cover movie doesn't explain ANY of this, especially not with the case of Ventus and his importance in the role of X (which btw is pretty big at this point) and how Cirithy even knows him. The handheld versions of the games are one thing, they are at least contained on that console and even then got ported to PS3/XBOX and PS4 later on as a FULL package. We will never get that with KHX and it has such important context within itself that unless you want to spend HOURS online watching videos on the cutscenes... you are missing this information and will be left behind.
I don't know about you guys, but personally... I am tired of having to look up outside sources to understand some context in a KH game because they hid it in mission 1022 in a mobile game and I for one do not want to see this kind of issue going forward for KH4... Which On that note, KH4 could have just as easily been about Daybreak town and it's recovery or something to do with the new 5 masters... and instead we got "KH:VsXIII"
Anyway, sorry for the long read and I understand if you don't read it all or only reply to one part but I do appreciate anyone who does survive this long to read it. Thank you :) [author1] I think most people will agree with you, but I think this can be solved if they just put out another back cover, one that focuses on the dandelions, which is what a lot of us expect them to do [author0] the problem with that though, is that Ephemer and Strels plots also center around YOU, the player. How will they incorporate that into another backcover without making a generic looking npc who just stands around silently? [author1] It's a problem for sure, but I think they will find ways around it. In back cover you are mentioned for example.
The generic looking NPC might be something they do, or they could have some scenes where it's in first person. That would be quite a change for KH though. I honestly don't know the KHX storyline as well as a lot of people, so I'm not sure how explicitly we need to actually be there. The two main ones I'm thinking about are Ephemer saving us from the war and Stretz following us around. Those seem like examples where we can't just be talked about. Maybe there's a way to show us without actually showing us.

[author0] Advice on how to get your ex back? I'm seeing my ex for the first time on saturday after a month since we parted ways. I still have feelings for him but I'm not sure he does for me. I was the one that broke up with him which I've regretted ever since and apologised for.
Rhetorically speaking, if there was a chance for me.. what are tips to get your ex to fall for you again? Without overwhelming him or anything of course. [author1] There really is a lot of information missing. In what context are you meeting up? How long has it been? On what terms did you break up?These are the most important variables in answering your question and I have none of them.
But judging by the fact you seem to be questioning whether or not he'd take you back and if he even has feelings for you it seems it wasn't exactly the most amicable breakup. There really are no 'tips' to make someone fall for you'. I don't know how attractive you are and how he views you but if you have that part down thats a good start, at least he will chase you sexually. However, since you've broke up with him you have to consider the fact that he is going to be emotionally withdrawn from you. I would be if you broke up with me and we started talking again. You left once when you got bored, why wouldn't you do it again?
I'd say see how it goes, if you can make something out of it go for it. If he seems like he only wants a FWB scenario maybe just accept thats all it can ever be now. [author0] Hey, thank you for responding.
We're going on a walk with a shared friend, I invited him and he said yes. It's been a month since we last saw one another. The terms of breaking up was because in the moment I felt he was disrespecting me by adding over 800+ girls on facebook and when I asked him to not do that he said our relationship was too intense and he wasn't sure if it's what he wanted.
When we broke up we were still nice to one another and he did say I was lovely so I feel I handled it with respect to his feelings but I do understand how he may feel reluctant because I broke things off and it may have broken his trust a bit.. I get that. His ex cheated on him so I think that has altered his perspective on the girls he dates now unfortunately, bless him.
We do have slight different natures in the fact he was my first ever boyfriend and the boy I lost my virginity to and he slept with so many girls he can't remember. So it's safe to say by the end of it it was disheartening.
I'm still willing to give it another go though, my feelings are still there for him but I'm not so sure with him.
I think my self is too sensitive and caring for just FWB.

[author0] Washer/Disk Method - How to find the area of this region? The solution written is one I tried but it was marked wrong. [author1] Why are you using Disk/Washer method here?
Also, this is an Integral Calculus question, so you should be using that flair. [author0] That's the method or formula I was told to use to solve this problem. [author1] But the Disk/Washer method is for finding **volumes** of solids obtained through rotation, not areas of regions, as this problem is asking for. I’m sure whoever told you to use that method either misread the problem or was referring to a different problem than this one.
That said, this is why you want to make sure you want to be on top of knowing what each tool/method/technique is good for, when they can be used, and when they cannot be used. Calculus cannot be made into a game of just memorizing procedures without conceptual understanding.
Easy fix here is to not square those functions before subtracting and integrating. If you want to find the area, integrals compute areas when you integrate a *length* (because you can also think of *dx* as a length as well, and *length* × *dx* gives an area). By squaring the functions (as you originally did), the integrand actually becomes an area, since *length* × *length* also gives area, so the integral itself returns a volume, as *area* × *dx* = *volume*.
By the way, you *should* be writing down the complete integral from the start. You omitted the integral (and *dx* that goes with it). [author0] When I integrate and subtract without squaring, I get 48/pi sin of pi times x over six minus 2 to the power of x over the ln of 2. This is still marked as incorrect. Any other advice? [author0] Nevermind, you were right. I was just using the wrong bounds. Thanks for your help! [author1] Ah, good you got it! I was about to reply to your previous comment and then saw this.

[author0] Word for using a piece of equipment to prevent theft. Hi guys. Random, random question here.
I'm wondering if there is a word that you guys use when you use a piece of equipment (like an excavator or wheel loader) to prevent something else from being stolen. For example:
* Excavator used to "hug" a bobcat between the tracks.
* Wheel loader used to block the doors to a sea-can
* A piece of equipment used to block an access gate.
I'm just wondering if there's a word for this or what you'd call it. I've seen some ingenious set-ups out there. [author1] Theft prevention [author2] Or a “deterrent”

[author0] I think people are underestimating Ml Haste He's like dcorvus, who stacks hp and still gets the job done. But let's look at his multipliers. Many are calling him niche but with this modifiers he might end up killing the revive meta forever.
S2: 60% of his hp is barrier. That's insane. This alone is scary enough for Mchloe, Ruele and Arby users.
Imagine him with 20k hp on a high defence bruiser team. You'll be forced to not use revivers at all.
But the downside is you can still basar him. Or just avoid revivers at all.
Overall his a very strong pick against revivers both offence, defence arena and rta. But without revivers on enemy team, you won't be using him at all. [author1] I am confused, you stated with "many are calling him niche" and your conclusion is that he is niche. [author0] Kinda worded that incorrectly, but ye he is niche. But really really strong to the job he was meant to do. We have Ruele and Mchloe on the revivers list. [author1] I mean yeah, but In my eyes a high res moderate speed Sangelica is better (at least for cleave teams. For tanky /bruiser teams ml haste might be better, but I can't predict the future)

[author0] What are you favorite no cook carbohydrate sources? I'm planning on going stoveless for my upcoming JMT thru hike (hopefully we're okay at the end of August) to save weight. Usually I would get a carb load at dinner from some form of pasta, but I'm not sure what to sub with.
I'm generally lazy with food and eat a lot of bars. Most of them seem to be geared toward protein though.
Does anyone have any recommendations of foods high in carbohydrates that don't require cooking? So far all I can think of are tortillas, dried fruits, and sugar. [author1] Dehydrated sour cream. Add your favorite dip mix (mine is onion dip mix) and water and eat with tortilla or potato chips. High calorie to weight ratio and lots of carbs and fat [author2] I didn't even realize that was a thing. I'll have to look into it. [author1] Yeah you can find all sorts of dehydrated dairy products on amazon. My favorite hot option is to get dehydrated cream and add pepper jack cheese and dehydrated beans.

Tomorrow (or tonight?) doing Asado to go (free bottle of wine with some orders).

Keeps the places ticking over (so they are there when this is over), helps hospitality workers, keeps the restaurant supply trade ticking over and makes not being able to go out semi-bearable.

[author0] New type of flare up is fustrating and so painful I will seeing specialists when it is safe to do so.
I started running low grade fevers of 99.5- 100.5 ( my usual temp is around 97.3) in December. In January I experienced a new flare up that I’d never experienced before. Nearly every single joint is inflamed and very painful. To the point where it’s difficult for me to walk, get dressed, ect. I’m in constant pain during these flare ups that worsen with movement, it hurts the most after I’m done moving the joint if that makes sense. My toes and fingers all feel jammed. It makes it impossible to do anything . I’ve experienced this flare about once a month this year so far and it’s lasted 4-7 days. Usually I just wake up in pain from being ok the previous night. This rounds been a bit different- I slowly felt it come on and I couldn’t stop it. I’m currently on day 4 and it’s unrelenting.
I am diagnosed with several things already but this feels nothing like anything I previously experienced due to those diseases.
I am diagnosed with:
Common variable immune deficiency,
Fibromyalgia,
Non radiographic axial Spondyloarthritis,
Eosinophilic asthma,
Chronic Idiopathic urticaria,
Migraines ,
Headaches
I am Suspected to have
Psoriasis,
Mast cell disorder
Other undiagnosed issues include but not limited to
GI issues,
Esophagus motility issues,
Dizziness issues,
Eye issues,
I get monthly IVIG infusions
Xolair every 4 weeks ( for hives)
Fasenra every 8 weeks
Daily I take
Xyzal,
Benadryl,
Hydroxyzine ,
Famotidine ,
Trazadone ,
Famotidine ,
Singular ,
Symbicort inhaler,
Alvesco inhaler,
Spuriva inhaler ,
As needed
Naproxen,
Tramadol,
Emergency inhaler/nebulizer ,
Anti nausea meds ,
I might have left a thing or two off , please forgive me my memory isn’t the greatest at the moment. When possible I’ll be resuming all my usual appointments but currently I’m only seeing my immuno for treatments. These flares are horrible and I’m just starting to search for answers as I really don’t think it’s related directly to my current known issues. It’s frustratingly painful. [author1] When was your last bloodwork looking at your ANAs or whatever the muscle tests are called. I'm also having a hell of a foggy brain day. It makes things hard. [author0] I get CBCs every 3 months, I’m due for one this month. Last ANA test was like a year ago. [author1] To me, me who is not a dr or anything like that, I'd get those run again. While this could be a super bad fibro flare it could also be arthritis, possibly related to the psoriasis. [author0] My rhuemy was thinking the psoriasis is related to the Spondyloarthritis. I am HLA B27 positive but my ANA tests always come back not showing anything.But I’ll definitely get tested again. [author1] Good luck. Just dont let them say "it's just fibro" and not run tests.

[author0] Rust Performance Issues (PC Specs) I have an AMD FX 6100 Six Core Processor, 16GB of Ram, my GPU is a Radeon RX 570 and I only average 30-40 fps, at most I get 50 fps and that is usually if its a smaller server with less pop, what's my problem?
(Also I don't have water cooling so my PC runs hot if that makes a difference.) [author1] I had a very similar set up for a long time and honestly you would need a complete overhaul of the PC to make a significant difference.
You’ve gotta think about what’s changed since those components came out, which is a lot.
Honestly even if you upgraded to a slightly better GPU the CPU couldn’t keep up. [author0] Damn Alright, I appreciate the help.

[author0] Pink Kush / Kush Station / April 2020 (420 Sale) [author0] **Value:** 8/10 Yet again I have ordered more Pink Kush from KS because I can’t get enough. This time the price was 210 which has increased quite a bit. It was originally 160 then raised to 180 on a new batch and then to 210 again on a newer batch.
**Quality:** 10/10 This batch of pink was less gassy and dank then the last stuff but it has more smoothness and more of that classic pink taste. The nugs were covered in crystals and all are decently sized and neatly trimmed.
**Smoothness:** 10/10 The smoke was super smooth and very easy to inhale with minimal coughing.
**Taste:** 9/10 Classic pink kush taste. Sweet/Floral with that kush taste.
**Potency:** 10/10 A full body relaxation that hits you as soon as you finish smoking your joint. A great strain for any indica fan that likes to get stoned. [author1] Love the review Phil!

[author0] One thing is really ironic: When people I do know well, who could be called my friends, if we would do things together, beside barely chatting via smartphone, have problems in their relationships, they always talk to me and ask me for my opinions etc Are you also the "repair men/women" for your "friends"?
I really can't explain it. Maybe they think I'm especially honest or something like that. They also must realize, that I actually am pretty messed up myself and actually don't want to fix others relationships (But of course I do help - Because reasons).
In the end of the day the make progress in life, gain new experiences etc and I sit here waiting for the end to come. Fuck me. [author1] I feel you lol. Whenever I give them relationship advice I always end with the phrase "but I haven't been in enough relationships to tell you how they really work" [author0] I had none. I tell them bluntly what I think based on...second hand experiences I guess? Maybe even based on what I learned from TV shows, movies, books, games...

[author0] I really want to get into building AR’s Ok so I know I’m female and 18 so I really hope no one in here is mean to me for wanting to build my own rifle, but I have loved shooting since I was little. So I guess my questions would be how difficult is it to do, and would anyone be interested in helping me and offer advice? [author1] I'm pretty sure everyone would be happy to help you; you'll want to check your State's laws concerning AR's before getting started, though.
Addition: they're not too bad if you're a little mechanically inclined. If not, it might test your patience, but there's no reason you can't get it done :) [author2] Additionally, if you don’t have access to tools including specialized tools you’ll have to factor that into your budget when building. A good set of tools goes a long way. Happy building!

[author0] How to approach quitting So I realize i need to stop drinking but im sure like everyone else I am scared to do so. But is there any beforehand prep you'd recomend? Honestly id probably talk to a doctor just to get a check up, and try to find a small new hobby to fill the time. Did you guys do anything before hand or just go cold turkey? Right now I've been mentally trying to prep myself up for about a month of suck but what would you guys recomend for a mindset entering this challenge?
One last thought: I read Alice Coopers book on his struggles with alcohol so are there any books you might recomend? Fiction or non fiction I had one book (EASYWAY) which really helped me quit smoking.
Thanks in advanced! [author1] I used “The 30-Day Sobriety Solution” by Jack Canfield. It’s a guided read and each chapter/day has self-development work to do through journaling. I found it fantastically helpful but I am introspective by nature. I would certainly recommend you not try to go it alone. You’re already reaching out so keep that up. This community is super supportive and open. Of meetings sound helpful to you try that too. It’s not always easy nor fun but you can do it. [author0] Oh thats a good point on not going alone. My dad doesnt have a problem but he does like his Martin's but if i asked him to go sober with me he'd be very supporting

[author0] Accepted. Don't know what to do. Help? I got accepted into a school I really like. They offered me some merit-based scholarship money but because I'm out of state it would barely even make a small dent (tuition being around 36k, Merit offer 6k per year conditional on GPA) in what I would have to get in loans, plus my COL. My deposit deadline is tomorrow. I haven't heard anything about Student Loans or Need-based help as of right now, so I'm a little scared to put in the deposit money especially right now with the current COVID-19 situation.
I'm an average applicant, LSAT 156 and uGPA at around 3.3. I am currently employed and my job pays decent and I'm happy there for the most part. I only applied to two schools due to some work deadlines screwing up my schedule in February and me being stupid and not planning better. The other school has ghosted me a little as I have not heard back from them at all.
I really don't want to miss my opportunity to go to Law School because I've already put it off for 5 years but at the same time, I don't know if it would be worth it with all the uncertainty right now, especially because I would have to say goodbye to my job and move states, and then, what happens if I don't qualify for loans? I'm a little lost on how all this works and being anxious about it hasn't helped. Part of me wants to say fuck it and just go, but another part of me is telling me to try for next year, and possibly apply to some schools I couldn't apply to this cycle. Maybe by then I could at least save some money to make a move, and maybe even retake the LSAT and get a bit more in the merit based offers? Probably be more responsible about it I guess? I don't know...
Thoughts? I appreciate any and all, as most of the people around me I look to advice for, don't know much about the process and just tell me to "Do what I think is best" @.@
Also I apologize for the giant book post. I"m pretty new to reddit and I usually just lurk. I hope you're all doing better than me on the anxiety! [author1] Please also bring this in front of the many many eyes and experiences at r/lawschooladmissions. I’m certain they’ll be able to help you on a deadline! [author0] Thank you! I will! I figured I'd try here first because I lurk on both and LSA can be a little more intimidating lol

[author0] [Illinois] Approved for unemployment, denied certifications To start, I work two jobs at the same company. My primary job laid me off back at the end of March, where I worked 5 days a week. My other job only gives me 1-3 days/per week. So, my income fell pretty drastically.
I was advised to wait to apply for unemployment since I'm still employed at one job, so to not piss off my company. I applied for UE in mid-April, was confirmed, told I should get around $200/week, recieved the debit card and was told my first certification date. Since my last two checks were payouts, my income level was above average/what I normally would make, so UE denied my first certification.
Now, this past week I certified for a second time, which I had one paycheck payout $100 more than what I usually would because of a delay in other payouts from my other job that laid me off. Originally, UE Cert. said it went through, and now when I checked this afternoon, it said I was denied again, but to re-certify in two weeks. It says my "payout is higher than estimated unemployment." Which, I'm unsure what that means, and tells me to call the unreachable UR hotline.
My monthly income from both jobs, at the same company, dropped around $600 (one job is Chicago minimum wage at $13/hr and the other, my main job I loss was $14/hr).
I know I probably shouldn't expect the extra $600, but I'm wondering if anyone else is having trouble? I've also have had to resubmit my certification through the online and phone portals because it seems confused that I am still employed through the same company, but have had a loss in income.
Has anyone else had similar problems? I had researched and some were saying to either 1. re-file entirley (which I'm unsure if you can do) or 2. file an appeal (but I wasn't outwordly denied, just denied the certification and told to "try again" in 2 weeks). Any suggestions/advice is appreciated! [author1] How much do you currently make a week? If it's a lot more than your benefit amount you get nothing. You should check if your state has a specific calculation on how much you're allowed to make before your benefits are cut off for the week. [author0] Per week I currently make (gross) $318-I googled the IL unemployment rate/how to figure it out and I have to take breakdown my last two pay period quarters and do some more math to figure it out. Even then, I'm still surprised they did approve me, overall though? [author1] https://www2.illinois.gov/ides/IDES%20Forms%20and%20Publications/CLI105L.pdf
Look under partial benefits. If I'm calculating it right you make too much to get anything.

[author0] Gaming on Manjaro I recently made a permanent switch to Manjaro KDE after several years of distro-hopping. I used to dual boot with Windows 10, but not anymore.
I had to give up a few multiplayer FPS titles such as Squad, Insurgency Sandstorm, R6 Siege, and COD. But Windows 10 was giving me constant issues, that I decided f*** you windows and made Manjaro my main OS.
Who knows maybe one day those games will finally recognize how awesome Linux is.
Straight out of the box, Manjaro worked perfectly. I have yet to try any games on it yet, but I look forward to it.
I’m curious as to what games you guys have been playing on Manjaro during these odd times?
Feel free to tell us your experience on Manjaro, even if it is negative.
*Neither Windows 10 or Linux is perfect, both have their problems. [author1] I did the same thing you just did, but a week ago. Pissed by Windows problem I just installed Manjaro.
I've been playing Civilization 6, Europea Universalis 4 and Shadow Warrior. All of them can be played from Steam without problems, actually I'm pretty sure they have better performance than windows.
Then I installed Lutris and played some LoL, it might be tricky at the start but it worked fine for me.
I'm currently downloading Doom 2016. I couldn't play it on the same pc with windows, I wanna see if I can play at low settings on Manjaro. (Native Linux compatible) [author2] Doom 2016 is not Native. (works very well with proton though) They could have done a Linux version, but did not. Lol also will no longer work by the end of the year, so mine salt while you can [author1] For lol I was aware, for Doom not. I was sure it was a Linux version. In your Steam library you can search Linux game by pressin the penguin icon and Doom was one of those. Looks like it show you Proton games as well [author2] I think it may have the Steam Play or whatever rating, but no, it's not native.

[author0] Quarantine craziness, but partner (24M) cut my (27F) hair MUCH shorter than I'd told him to, and I'm so angry Ok. I don't know if it's the quarantine that is starting to take hold but something happened today and I don't know if I'm going crazy or if I'm justifiably angry. I thought I'd turn to the community that has curly hair initially, because I feel like they would know how I feel, but I can't manage to actually post this and in any case, this is more about the relationship than about the hair.
For context, I have mediterranean (?) curly hair, dark, curly, a 3c or so, tight curls mostly. In late 2016 I had grown it out to below shoulder length and decided to dye it at a hair salon. They Completely destroyed it. The damage was major, my curl pattern was destroyed and even today it's still more distended than it was previous to that fateful appointment.
Since then, I've been trying to grow it out and trimming frequently, and in the last year the ends have started looking healthy and I've managed to grow it out to below my Boobs! This is the longest it has been since, ever basically. And it's kind of important to me because my family didn't know how to handle or take care of curly hair, and at one point when I was 10 I was done with the painful and nightly detangling process and spraying with Nenuco perfume and chopped everything off to an awfully awkward above shoulder length bob. Ya kno, typical awkward head of hair that a lot of people with curly hair go through.
So yeah, I was pretty proud of it now. I also haven't let anyone touch my hair and have trimmed it myself throughout the years.
In parallel to this, I met this guy in 2017, we got together, and three years later here we are quarantined together. He was always confused about my cutting my own hair and refusing to go to salons, and throughout the years I (THOUGHT) I'd shown him how temperamental curly hair is and what it takes to take care of it. He always found it quirky and funny that I just did it myself but wtv. It was always kind of a joke that I was anal about it and don't go to hairdressers. He always urged me to go to salons. Little did I know you don't need enemies when you've got loved ones.
Flash forward to today.
I trimmed my hair today, as usual. I wash it and let it air dry. I'm not a hairdresser so it's uneven, which honestly has never really bothered me much, I think it fits with my style and it's also hard to tell when it's this curly and this long.
For context, my dude just bought himself a barber razor thing yesterday and cut his own hair because quarantine. He was very proud of it, I helped him out getting it even and it looks acceptable.
So now he looks at my hair cut and is like, oh, it looks uneven. With these newfound self-hair cutting skills my dude thinks he's a pro now and tells me, Let me fix it up for you. I'm like, ok cool, yeah if you trim the ends so at least those are straight that's super useful.
We go to the bathroom. He takes my hair in his hand and indicates like "this much". I see there's a bit of hair at the end, like one inch or so. Say yep, go ahead.
He has quite large hands, because he's a big dude.
The man cut above his hand. Not 1 inch, 5 inches.
I look to the hair that falls to the ground thinking "wait this is really long".
I look to his hand holding my fucking luscious locks, that he throws to the toilet.
I look in the mirror. My still humid hair is now barely below my shoulders. It's curly hair which means that it's going to dry and get another inch shorter. i.e. back to that awful youthful bob. This is 4 years of growth. It's shorter than when we met. Shorter than when I went to the hairdressers and got it destroyed.
I just. I don't know what to do. I'm just closed up in my room smoking a joint because I am so fucking pissed at him.
I know it's just hair, and it will grow back. But curly hair takes a loooooong time to grow back, especially mine.
I also feel like he was seriously out of line. It was in part a miscommunication - but HE was cutting MY hair, it was his responsibility to ensure that what he was doing was clear to me, because I would be the one suffering the consequences. It also just makes me angry, he's seen the entire process of growing it out. He knows that this fucking hair matters to me.
Ultimately I'm the stupid one for trusting him with this, but also... If you've never cut hair before, don't you want to make sure? Like you cut your hair once and you're suddenly the expert in hair cutting? It just feels so arrogant, and it's my hair goddamit, obviously to him it's just hair, but it makes no difference to him and it matters a fair bit to ME.
I just can't fathom what he was thinking that he wouldn't make sure that we'd understood each other, when he was the one taking the action on me. From his point of view, it's a miscommunication. And he just, doesn't. get. it. He was like, oh yeah it'll grow back in a few months. FUCK NO. I'll be fucking 30 by the time I manage to regrow it to the length it was. It honestly just makes me sad. It's stupid, but it does.
Sooo, any advice on how to handle this? If not, please let me know how the quarantine is going for you and don't get any stupid ideas about cutting anyone's hair lol. [author1] No offense girl but you’re the one who let him cut it. Like ya he messed up hit in his defense he’s a man who thinks hair doesn’t matter since his is less than two inches long at all times. [author0] Agreed, it was fundamentally my mistake to trust him with it. \]
I also explained it a little more in another comment:
I don't think he did do it on purpose, no. I think the major issue I'm having with it is that he's shown this kind of behaviour before, an attitude of "I know better", that I think underpins a certain contempt for me and my things. For example, just earlier today he picked up my phone and started dissing how I've organised the apps on it. It was so unnecessary because it's MY phone which he doesn't use, and I have it set the way I want it. But to him that's somehow inferior to his organisation method.
It's this kind of pattern of behaviour that really gets on my nerves and I think is the reason that I'm so angry in this situation. I don't think I expressed myself very well in the post and highlighted this.

[author0] Supposedly we can print unlimited money, but Tea is cheap, and patience is free. A big housing indicator starts to creak. Previous Post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/ga29ar/tea\_leaves\_pork\_futures\_and\_chickens\_running/](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/ga29ar/tea_leaves_pork_futures_and_chickens_running/)
edit: linked the correct previous post because OP is bad at this.

So, as we've discussed many times, housing is one of our big 3 indicators for systemic failure. The machine has started to creak a bit.
[https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/30/wells-fargo-says-it-will-no-longer-accept-applications-for-home-equity-lines-of-credit.html](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/30/wells-fargo-says-it-will-no-longer-accept-applications-for-home-equity-lines-of-credit.html)
This tells us that more of the riskier lines of loans are starting to dry up. Why is a HELOC (home equity line of credit) higher risk right now? Well, it inverses a bull market in that people taking a HELOC now are more likely to be doing so because they need money for basics, not luxuries. During a Bull market, banks might assume that people taking HELOCS are expanding or making themselves more valuable, and the bank is happy to takes its cut via interest. Banks now, meanwhile, want to hold on to as much liquidity as possible during uncertain times, to stay flexible.
As we've discussed before, recession/depressions do a unique thing to the loans/housing market.
Underlying Prices go down.
Mortgage rates go down.
BUT, it gets harder, not easier, to get these good new loans/prices. One more way the poor get screwed.
As banks fight to conserve their liquidity, they'll naturally get more and more stringent on who they're willing to give loans to, because they need a guarantee that you're not about to lose your job and default on the money they give you. They don't want to end up owning homes that no one is paying for (because they'll have to) and it'll increase the encumbrance on their market nimbleness.
With a HELOC, they might surmise that you might already be in trouble, and that you're more likely to default on the new loan. If you're going to default anyways, they'd rather keep all their money, thanks. Almost sounds like the thing the Fed does where they give money to the companies that need it the least, and the little guy gets left out to dry...Hrm...Patterns... This is one more way the "houses build wealth" myth fucks you, in that its not always money when you really need it, because now you have lots of money you can't get to when you really need it.
If it were me, and I had a great credit score (800+), and I was looking, I absolutely wouldn't buy a damn thing right now. When housing collapses, you can pick up things for much much cheaper, as the vast majority of Americans (sub 800 credit scores) won't be able to buy anything. If you have a good enough down payment, you'll still be able to entice banks to take the risk on you, because you'll represent much less risk if you have enough liquidity to show you can put down 15% during a recession.
Something else I've noticed a bit of, is that we're getting a bit whippier, in that we're starting to see a bit more range in our nightly activity. Combine that with gaps, and it's got me interesting in playing nightly straddles again. Cause everyone likes positions and picture, below is a picture of my 'testing the waters" position tonight. I picked it up at 330EST just as volatility was starting to pick up for end of day, so even as theta decayed (I bought a May 04 straddle) my premium, volatility helped keep its value high. I'll sell it first thing tomorrow morning, unless we're already in a big trend pushing my straddle more in the money. If we appear to be stable, or moving back towards my strike, I'll sell as soon as market opens. The other nice thing about buying right as volatility starts to open, while its still low, is that you can get your straddles closer to end of day strike pricing. This should give you a bit more money, because straddles are entirely based on how far the underlying moves from the straddle in the moment you buy it. You can skew a straddle if you think it'll go up or down, by buying a higher or lower straddle, but I personally prefer a neutral entry.

I payed 601.34 for the position, we'll see where our return is in the morning. If its strong, we'll prolly take a stronger stance tomorrow, as straddles can be extremely safe returns, and you don't have to be on either side of the "MY POSITION IS FUCKED" that plagues the daily thread after closing.
Straddles allow you to take a much more aggressive stance on your bets, because even when you bet 100% of your position, you know that you're not capable of going bankrupt, and if you could place a bet with 50% of your position that you were 100% certain would profit, you absolutely would. The risk in the straddle is the decay of the premium, so if we think "nothing" will happen, we don't go in, but if "nothing" does happen, we're only going to eat the decay, and we'll get out as soon as we're able. When sizing your positions, size your loss-risk tolerance based on that.
For now, we're still waiting to see our indicators fail 'harder', but nothing so far has really given us a reason to doubt our outlook. I'll be starting to take some larger straddle positions on the overnight if things return well the next couple of nights, both so that the incoming gaps can pay out, and in the event the fall of mankind starts at 3am before markets open, I'll still have tickets on the ride.

Remember when we said this could lead to war?

Be safe autists, lets try and safely pad things a bit before the ride takes off.

Look for a lake that has at least some federally protected land on it. Where I’m at, more than half the shoreline is federally protected land, so I always look over mountains, not Becky’s front porch.
Pay close attention to the energy management company that owns the lake or what state agency manages the lake levels. We had an issue with our dock one year bc the energy company in its infinite wisdom allowed levels to drop too much.
Enjoy! [author3] NC? [author2] Damn lol. Bonus points if you name the lake. [author4] Norman [author2] Nope! Starts with an N though [author5] with a hard R? [author2] No heavy r’s here
