[author0] I think I may have fried my CPU I did a REALLY stupid thing. I bought a used Corsair CX750M from Goodwill. It came in the mail today and I decided to try it out. I took out my old PSU and plugged everything in for the new one. I tried to start it up and It didn’t work. Then I thought, maybe I disconnected something else in my computer, so I plugged the 24pin of my old psu into my motherboard. The system spun up like normal. I took out the old PSU and plugged in the new one to the 24 pin. I then concluded that noticed I forgot to plug in the 4pin cpu power. I decided to plug it in while it was on, it sparked blue and I freaked out. I took the new PSU out and put my old one in. I’m not getting any video output from the graphics card nor the motherboard HDMI. The cpu cooler is spinning as are the rest of the fans. There is no post or anything. PLEASE HELP
Update May 2nd, 2020: I went to Micro Center today and bought an i5-9600k and a Z390 motherboard. Before setting up my new CPU, I decided to try my old one for a last time. It posted and I was so happy! I think I'm going to sell my old config but I'm still using it and I'm monitoring it to make sure there are no glaring issues. Also, Thank you for your response u/coldnspicy I appreciate your help. [author1] Also likely is just dead motherboard. [author0] My graphics card LEDs turned on, as did my case fans so I it could be part of the motherboard but not the whole thing.

[author0] A message to all users of r/PoliticalFactChecking – We are officially closing this subreddit Hi, this is u/CaspianX2. As many of you have noted, r/PoliticalFactChecking has gradually become a pale shadow of what it once was. After some lengthy discussion with the only other active mod here, u/nandryshak, we have come to the difficult decision to shut down this subreddit. This is not a decision we make lightly, and we felt a desire to explain to you why we came to this decision.
I'm gonna' start by just calling it like I see it – the problems this subreddit faced began with the rise of Donald Trump, or to be more specific, the affect he and his style of politics has had on truth, facts, and political fact-checking. Simply put, fact-checking increasingly seems like a relic of the past in the age of Donald Trump - even the most plain and obvious facts are hand-waved away by Trump as "fake news" and his word on the matter is taken as gospel by a sizeable portion of the population.
With this becoming our new reality, the task of fact-checking has become increasingly thankless, and feels increasingly pointless. What does it matter if we do our due diligence as a subreddit and fact-check if that hard work is just going to be dismissed as "fake news", or derided for being “biased”? Each and every person has their own personal bias, but facts are something that should hold no bias. Yet that word has become a refuge for partisans looking to shut their eyes to facts and encourage others to do so as well.
If this was the only issue we have to deal with here, we could possibly persevere – the pursuit of the truth need not be popular or validated – it is a noble goal in and of itself. However, this is only the first of the problems this subreddit has faced.
Another issue we have encountered is the rise of submissions that we feel are designed to “game the system”, so to speak. These are posts that are submitted here that do not technically break any of the subreddit's rules, but that are designed with a partisan goal in mind, and written in a way to support that goal.
One way these posts do this is by creating a claim that is difficult or impossible to fact-check, and then supporting it with evidence that seems to imply an answer. An example would be asking users to fact-check an obscure and highly-specific statistic, and then providing limited evidence in support of that statistic. At best users could only respond with “I don't know” or “We don't have enough information”, and if we were to tag such a claim, it would undoubtedly be “Unverifiable”. However, the lack of a refutation, along with links to evidence supporting the claim in question, could appear to many as support for that claim, even if that isn't the case.
Another way these posts exploit this subreddit is to post a claim that is technically correct, but implies something that is false, because the claim is missing a greater context. An example of such a claim would be “everyone who drinks water in Los Angeles dies” - this is technically true, because everyone dies, but it *implies* something that is not true - that Los Angeles water is the cause. Again, we can respond to this by tagging the claim with something like “Partisan Bias”, but those pushing these claims will undoubtedly respond by saying “if it's factually true, how can it be partisan bias?”
Posts like these are a lose-lose proposition for this subreddit. If we allow them to remain un-tagged, it only acts to help support the partisan goal of the poster, making it appear that these claims have some degree of validity. If we try to point out how these posts are pushing unproven claims or those that lack an important context, it is pointed to as yet another example of how this subreddit is supposedly biased against their particular viewpoint. And in either case, the most users would have to reply with would be ineffectual refutations, or emotional statements of opinion – the latter of which has no place on this subreddit, but is often the only refutation that can be offered to these sorts of claims.
In part because of this, it has become increasingly difficult to moderate this subreddit. And with the sense that all this fact-checking has become increasingly pointless in the current political environment, it has become harder to work up the willpower to *try*. Add to this the fact that neither I nor u/nandryshak are doing this as a job – it was always a labor of love, and the love has largely gone out of it for us. What's more, we both have other obligations, and it's become harder to justify taking ourselves away from those obligations to pursue the task of trying to resuscitate this subreddit.
With this being the case, we were left with a few options, none of them very appealing.
We could leave the subreddit as-is – however, doing so would only make this a place where partisan posters would increasingly use it to add validation to their claims, as they have been doing for some time.
We could choose to select moderators who could take up the mantle, so to speak. However, even though u/nandryshak and I feel we are no longer able to manage this subreddit in a way we can be satisfied with, we're also wary of handing the reins to others when we don't know what they would do once they have that control – I have personally seen subreddits perverted into something they were never intended to be after new moderators gain control, and that is something I would not want to see happen to this subreddit.
The only other option then, as far as I see it, is to close the subreddit and lock it down. That would ensure, at least, that those partisans exploiting the subreddit to suit their own ends would have one less platform to do so.
When I joined this subreddit as a moderator, I never imagined that I would be making the decision to end it. I was happy to be a part of a team pursuing factual truth, refuting false claims, and fostering a bastion of clear black-and-white logic among a hazy gray political landscape. However, those lofty goals just don't seem possible at this time, and I would rather admit defeat than see this ideal twisted to support something I see as hateful.
To those who have stuck with us through this time, offered their support, and tried to do their part to preserve sanity in an increasingly insane time, I thank you. I'm sorry things have to end this way, but at the very least I can hope that we did some good while it lasted.
I wish you all the best of luck in preserving the truth in your own way in this time of ambiguity.
-u/CaspianX2 [author1] That sucks so much, but I totally know your frustration. This is a real sign of the times. I was really excited when this place started, but this all seems so, so much harder than it used to be and so often just a total waste of time in the end. Aug 2012 seems like a lifetime ago. I think if you lock it down someone can request and take it eventually, though? I don't know if you can get around that.
>yet another example of how this subreddit is supposedly biased against their particular viewpoint.
history is bias, academia is bias, movies are bias, news is bias. these people will be victims no matter what. rule 2 in /r/changemyview is you must be open to changing. some people will never change and don't want to, and it's usually pretty clear. I probably would have banned them, blocked the whining, and moved on. It's likely I would have false positives but they'll get over it. Same with the exploits, it's almost always immediately obvious to not be in good faith and absolutely not worth any time, but suggestions don't matter anymore either.
I wish I had contributed more, thanks for the admirable goal, best of luck in the future. [author2] Therebis no one out there they could give this sub too?? How about offering to the mods of r/askHistorians ? How about offering it to EFF? Will they st least be open to hearing requests to take the reigns of the sub? [author0] I can't speak for u/nandryshak, but I don't know r/askHistorians or its mods, if they were even interested in taking on this responsibility. I certainly don't know them well enough that I could feel confident that they would do right by the goals of this subreddit. And this isn't a judgment against them or their subreddit either - I would say the same for pretty much any subreddit or prospective moderator you could name. If I was confident that an individual or group of people were both capable and interested in turning this place around, I would gladly have that conversation with them, but I know all too well that handing the reins over to another without knowing what they'll do with those reins can lead to disaster.
As we speak, I am watching the internal destruction of another subreddit that made this choice, and handed control of the subreddit to someone who now seems intent on destroying it from within. However, malicious intent isn't necessary for things to go downhill - even simply lower standards or a lack of engagement (two things I fear we ourselves have been guilty of over the last few years) can be just as bad.
I don't think u/nandryshak or I are so arrogant as to think that no one else could run this place better than us, but if we were to give this subreddit to someone else, we would want to *know* that they could run this place better than us, and right now we simply don't know anyone we can be confident enough in to make that decision. [author2] Fair enough. Offer it to snopes.com?

[author0] Regardless of how many new characters actually get introduced in Part II, how many do you think will be playable in Part II? These are my thoughts:
Red XIII - No brainer but I figured I'd mention it.
Yuffie - This is also an easy one since she'll get introduced pretty early and will likely be a big part of the expanded Wutai story they're trying to tell. In the OG Wutai was basically a vanquished enemy nation, but in this one they're still a serious threat and Yuffie's father is the leader of it. They also spent a ton of the game setting up how the larger org of Avalanche is working with Wutai, along with the false conspiracy that Wutai encouraged the bombings, so I'd think Yuffie's involvement in the party will get exploited by Shinra to push that narrative.
Cait Sith - He'll likely get introduced at the Gold Saucer around (or right before) the halfway mark of the game, in line with most of the story beats.
I think Vincent and Cid are the tough ones to judge here. I don't think either could really get introduced before 70% of the way into a new title, but I'm not sure if they'd be playable since there wouldn't be much time to use them. It's also possible that they wouldn't want part II to overload you, since they'll include 3 additional playable characters on top of the four they already have. [author1] part 2 - red13, yuffie, cait
part 3 - vincent, cid and a new character not playable from ff7 og
And heavy reworks and additions to each character between each game making them feel a little fresh. [author2] Roche maybe?

[author0] QA Engineer Objectives and key results Dear Reddit,
I am a QA Engineer at a small start-up. This role is new to me, so forgive my silly question. My company is implementing new framework to measure employee success. Anyways, we are now required to submit quarterly role Objectives and Key Results linked to those objective that would measure at the end how well we are performing. What objectives of QA Engineers are? I mean I can't really say release these features, simply because I am not releasing it. I am a small step right before release.
My company did not really have a QA process before at all. Here is how my current QA process goes -- I manually test features before release, and then I work on automation framework between releases to help with regression, so at least regression is not done manually. Not all tests can be automated. Our tools are integrated with recurly and saleforce. so when i need to regress those integrations, those are still done manually. UI tests are mostly automated by now.
Now, one of my objectives is to "increase auto-test coverage". which is pretty obvious. What other objectives I can have?
Also another question, has anyone automated testing of a product integrated with salesforce and recurly?
Basically automating scenario when user purchases service on UI, certain information get sent to salesforce, and the credit card charge gets processed in recurly.
Sorry for 2 questions in one post. [author1] Your company should be very careful with this.

I’m reading a lot of well ment suggestions in this thread, but I’m afraid they’re opening the gates to all kinds of trouble.

[author0] In lieu of the Dalton Line’s (temporary?) demise, I now propose: the Carr Bar. Derek seems fitting for this prestigious honour. [author1] He certainly fits the bill and the name is fantastic. I’m worried he gets replaced by the end of the year though. Then do we call it the Mariota Meter? [author2] Mariota is definitely below the line. No way he takes the job and keeps it from Carr. He may get a game or two, but I think Mariota is strictly worse Carr.
That being said, Carr seems to be a nice middle point. Also rans I feel are goff, tannehill, and maybe josh Allen?

[author0] I came up with a constellation/star gazing mechanic. So last night (or I guess this morning) I was playing AC just running around planting trees and doing some comfy chores before bed and I saw Celeste walking around. I went and talked to her and she did her usual gushing about stars and space which I love. She stood there and looked up at the sky with her precious starry eyes and I wanted nothing more than to build her an observatory and let her gaze to her hearts content. My mind started chugging and I came up with a mechanical reason for it.
Stargazing/Star Hunting
So I know in an older game (I've only played NL and NH) Celeste had an observatory attached to the museum and you could create your own constellations and that's incredibly nice but I loved the idea of making it another layer of collectible. You would be able to go up to the observatory at night when the telescope is operational and basically play connect the dots with the night sky and try and connect real constellations. When you found one, Celeste would give you a history lesson on it just like Blathers does with his stuff since so many constellations are tied to myth and legend. Constellations would be time sensitive and only certain ones would appear at certain times of the year for a certain time frame throughout the time they're around (so you can't just discover them all in 1 quick go in a single night). On top of the constellations, I think a really cool rare find would be Nebula. They would follow the same logic as constellations though they would be much more spread out and have a much shorter time frame to find them.
This is just a really rough 20 minute idea I cooked up. I adore space and stargazing and I so wish Celeste had a permanent residence to gush to you about how amazing it all is.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. [author1] I'd love to get an observatory mechanic in the game, I love stars and the universe too. I made a special area in my island for stargazing so it'd be awesome to have an actual game mechanic related to Celeste [author0] Yeah I'm gonna turn one of my peaks into a like picnic/stargazing area but I thought hearing Celeste gush about the history, legends, or mythology behind famous constellations would be really really sweet.

[author0] AITA for telling my SIL that she can't say her stillborn baby matters less than her living children? As background: my SIL had 3 living children before her stillbirth, and then gave birth to another living child 2 years later. Her 4 Earth-side children have fairly common names, like Emma, Lauren, Sophie, and Andrew. Her stillborn daughter has a more unorthodox name, something like Soulstyce. I have one son born sleeping and had several miscarriages. I have no living children, but I'm a mom to a little boy up in Heaven.
Anyways, at Christmas, many of our family members got to meet their new baby for the first time. The subject of how his name was chosen came up, which lead to my grandmother asking why their stillborn daughter had such an "unusual" name compared to their living children.
My SIL explained that they gave their daughter a "guilty pleasure" name because it mattered less. She said she wouldn't put her living children through the experience of having such an uncommon name, but that it didn't matter when it came to their daughter because she didn't have a life to live with her name. She even joked that she spent a quarter of the time picking out their daughter's name that they did choosing their other children's names because "it just didn't matter" and they "could do whatever."
It hurt me to hear her say that. I've spent six years feeling like I have no right to call myself a mother and feeling excluded from the "mom's club" because my son died from circumstances beyond my control before I even got to hold him. To have my SIL, who I have supported through each and every one of her pregnancies, who I held and comforted through her stillbirth, say that her child *didn't matter* because she wasn't alive - that hurt. It felt very intensely personal. I was right across from her at the table and she said it with no remorse. I don't care if it took her 5 minutes or 5 days to choose a name for her child, I care that she said it didn't matter.
I haven't said a word about it since then. But I lost my job, I've had too much time to think, and I keep replaying the whole thing over in my mind. I've been stewing about it, I keep drawing away from her and I feel guilty. So, I called her and told her that I had been really hurt by what she said. She was very callous, immediately, telling me to get over myself and not tell her how to live her life. I got very upset and told her she couldn't talk about her daughter like she mattered less and she just outright said, "She does matter less." I just started to cry. I hung up and my husband consoled me for a while, but my brother called me to chew me out, saying I'd made his wife upset and she was already busy with their children and she didn't need to babysit me as well. I've gotten texts and calls from half the family, most of them blaming me for not moving past my son's death. My own mother told me it was time to start pursuing new family planning options and that I was taking my distress at my loss out on my SIL.
​
Reddit: AITA for telling my SIL she can't say that her child doesn't matter? [author1] YTA. I'm not gonna go and say that a stillborn child really doesn't matter, but for a lot of people, they don't. You've had a lot of loss, and you have my condolences for it, but you cannot attach yourself to something that will have no further impact on your life and others and then be mad when someone wants nothing to do with it.
For her to be attached so much to a concept of a child as much as her living children, is an insult to the living children. Everyone copes differently, but don't let your coping mechanism bring you or others further harm. In this case... it's hurting you.
Edit: First 1k and first Silver and it's for calling someone TA, but gently. [author2] >I'm not gonna go and say that a stillborn child really doesn't matter, but for a lot of people, they don't.
Sure, but that's not even the situation here. OP's SIL didn't say that the stillborn child didn't matter - she said that the stillborn child's name didn't matter. [author1] Yes, but I wasn't addressing what the SIL said, I'm addressing OP's mentality about the situation, regardless of what was said to bring up said mentality. [author3] A stillborn child definitely doesn’t matter as much as a living one, but they did matter. Clearly OP is still profoundly effected by her loss. Saying essentially that some people don’t care seems cold. [author4] Seems cold, but that's the truth of it. And that's the world we live in. OP needs to learn that not everyone is going to see a stillbirth or a dead baby as a "soul that's in heaven." Some people just see a baby that didn't make it. It's tragic, but that's the reality of it.

[author0] BPD GF demanding access to my phone and I said no! I was hanging out at the apartment of my diagnosed BPD GF. While I was working on school work she interrupted me wanting to go through my cellphone and I said no.
In the past I would let her go through my cellphone, laptop and turn on location sharing. But that never gave her any security at all, she was still accusatory and hyper vigilant seeking things to get upset about.
When I refused to share my pass code, she threw a tantrum, tried to rationalize, split me, threaten to dump me. I left when I realized that she wasn't going to self-regulate.
She confronted me and continued to lament over not getting access. I just stayed true to myself and refused to argue or defend myself. I told her that she is entitled to do what she wants, and believe what she wants to believe, but I'm doing what I think I need to do to maintain a sustainable relationship.
She eventually got over it. [author1] >She eventually got over it.
For now [author2] True, and there's a very good chance that this won't resolve itself. But I highly encourage people to enforce these boundaries in this way! I spent a decade in an unhealthy marriage, telling myself over and over that I was ready to leave, but I never followed through. I was regularly convinced by her that things would change, or scared to tear apart my family, or afraid to face the consequences of being a "failure" in my marriage.
Boundaries upheld and maintained lead to a couple of ends - the person on the other side understands that the unhealthy behavior is unacceptable, and take actions. Or they fight against it harder, and possibly end the relationship. Both paths are honestly not bad, as painful as the process might be.
For the OP, this is an early step to recognizing toxic behavior in their relationship and holding their partner accountable through their own actions, not trying to "change" the other person. No matter what that is a good thing. [author1] I agree. I didn't mean to take away from the successful boundary. It took me a long time to see what was going on. Even when I did, I went back to confirm.
What a ride. [author2] That is great! One thing I try to do by continuing to comment here is recognize that not everyone is in a place where they are ready to make big steps like leaving.
I feel your sentiment was exactly right - for now, because it very likely isn't' going to be the last of it. But as a community I hope that we can validate and celebrate those seemingly small steps along the way for people in the middle of this. Glad you were able to make those changes in your own life!

[author0] My heart grew one whole size today [author0] I doubt this watch needs an introduction here but I wanted to post this for anyone who may be on the fence about buying a Duro. I went back and forth for 3 weeks or so as I've never really been drawn to dive watches because most that I see seem really bulky or large on the wrist. Don't be like me. Just buy it : ) [author1] I think i might have to pick one up for my father... and maybe one for myself whilst i'm at it.
I just learned about the duro that came before (mdv-102) this particular model (mdv-106) and was aghast at how much the price jumped on the earlier model. I think the only difference is a dual LED light and pusher, but fuck if dudes on ebay aren't asking for 175-180 american fun bucks for a model that used to cost 40-50. [author0] Holy crap! I mean, it's handsome no doubt, but that is getting into some serious cash and Orient/Seiko territory.
If I was going to drop over $150 on another casio it would probably be a Gshock or an Oceanus!

Was supposed to be two cheeseburgers [author1] Can we see that receipt plz [author2] No because that would prove it's fake [author3] Yeah that's a special ticket. They paste it to the box to show that the order is different than normal. Although it wouldn't really determine that his order was fake since op suggested that he ordered just cheese by accident. So the receipt would show that he ordered just cheese.

[author0] Take a P or take a grade - advice from a professor If you have a B or better, take the grade: Everyone everywhere is going to assume that if you took the P it was because you had a C or lower. Think P=C/D.
I can't not stress this enough - a B is a good grade (for anything except a joke class, in which case you need to get your shit together).
If you take the pass, every adult that is interviewing you for anything, looking at your application for any reason - is going to assume you made that choice because you were doing shitty in that class. There is no world in which a P is better than a B (unless you intend on re-taking the class and also get better than a B next time - this is a big if).
You ALSO have to consider the class you are in and what you are intending to do with that class. Many of you are not being advised properly.
A pass may give you the CREDIT but may still not count for your major, your program or as a prerequisite for other classes.
Do NOT make this choice unless someone knowledgeable from that program/major/ department assures you in writing that the P will count for everything it has to count for and not just as a credit.
If you are an English major and you need one science to graduate, and you have a C/C- in bio, you should probably take the P and have it affect your GPA less. (Provided your school/department will count toward your degree. Every school and program is different - you absolutely must speak with an advisor who knows your major and plans about this).
If you are, for example a nursing major and have a C+ in that bio class, you should take the C+. Unless your particular nursing school has explicitly said to you in writing that they will accept the P for the program and for any further classes that depend on this class. THAT is not typical (though some places are doing that).
You should then only take the P if you are committed to re-taking the class and you are positive that you are going to better than a C+ next time (this is not a good plan for most of you).
If you are intending to go to grad school or something else - if you have a B or better, take the B. Every single soul looking at your application will think you screwed up that class unless you take the grade. Will they hold it against you? Who knows. But the B is not worse than the P.
IF you have a perfect 4.0 the one B will not affect your GPA in any meaningful way in the real world.
If you already have some C's, the one B will not affect your GPA in any meaningful way in the real world.
And if you have C's there is little chance of re-taking this class for better than a B anyway. [author1] I got an A- but I have a GPA of 4.00. An A- is worth 3.67. I’m thinking of taking the P. [author0] TAKE. THE. A-.
An A- is an excellent grade. Everyone will think that that A- was a C unless you take the grade.
Calculate how much it changes your average. It is negligible.
I am assuming this is not a troll, but for the love of all that is holy, take the A- [author1] I have a 4.09 after 3 semesters, so it sorta is negligible. Junior and senior years tho are gonna be super difficult. I have to pad my GPA as much as possible.
But for my field employers don’t care about the grade for a specific course. They just want to see my GPA and whether I passed my courses. [author2] 4.09 in college? What uni are you at that weights classes like this? [author3] Some universities give a 4.33 for A+s. It's uncommon but after the standard 4.0 system, it's the second most common system in the US.

[author0] Isolating audio/video gear from household electrical switching noise When the bathroom fan timer shuts off, I get a loud pop from anything amplified that's plugged in, and I think I've seen glitches when it happens during VCR playback.
What's the go-to solution for giving cleaner home power to devices sensitive to this kind of thing, short of rewriring? [author1] I work in the smart home industry and I've seen those damn bathroom fans cause so many issues with my AV and lighting control, even when it was on a different circuit (breaker). Is it one of those auto timer fan switches? Those are the worst. Put in a normal manual switch and all the issues should go away. [author0] Countdown timer, yeah. I hadn't considered that it would be the culprit, but now that you mention it....
I had one down here, possibly a Leviton, that died a noisy death after just a few years. Looked it up, and just piles of complaints about it screaming as it failed.
I have a Woods one now that hasn't caused any issues other than the POP on my amps (though not the old TV surround sound). My recordings have always had more noise than I expected, no matter how many times I upgraded gear, upgraded cables, rebuilt PCs and bought new interfaces. Maybe dirty power had been my bane for 20 years. [author1] I live in an old house as well and the wiring isn't the greatest. I have some noise in my system but after doing this for so long, there is no magical box that cleans up all power and takes all the noise away.

[author0] Heavenly Strike Stage skip doesn't add up? ​
https://preview.redd.it/5owvgi4jn1w41.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe4961cd5120baa9772dab302008bbc0e9e0411f
ok so looking at my stats, I currently have 192 titans at this MS.
​
If you subtract 130, thats 62 titans + 1 boss = 63 bad guys. If I Skip 66... that means I should only be splashing 1 stage + another 3 titans. So why is it that I splash +2 EVERY time. And Im at the same number of remaining titans ex: 132/192 on stage 65000, +2, now on 65002 with 132/192.
​
This would ONLY make sense if i brought my titan count much lower, but its not.
​
Thanks for your help! [author1] Splash Skip refreshes every new stage. [author1] Stage 65000 - 132/192, You kill a titan, skip 130 normal titans, and are now at the final normal titan + boss and consume 2 splash count of your 66.
Stage 65001 - Splash skip refreshes and you skip 130 normal titans. You begin consuming Splash count(you have 64 left). You consume 63 count(62 normal and 1 boss).
Stage 65002 - Splash skip refreshes and you kill 130 normal titans. You begin consuming Splash count(you have 1).
This leaves you at 132/192 on Stage 65002. [author0] your example is totally wrong for very very very obvious reasons.
However I just realized how the formula works now and I think the person below me was close but not exact.
So using easier numbers:
Pretend you have titan count of 1 + 1 boss. you have 0 skip. so you take your splash count and divide it by / titans. So lets say you have 66. You'll skip 33 stages.
In my example, however many titans I have... in my case 62 + 1 after skipping is considered , I take this number and divide it INTO the splash count. Mine is 66. 66/63 = 1.04 stages skipped. Clearly rounded to +2.
This is why when I just got to 196 titans recently, I only skip 1.
196+1 - 130 = 67. My splash skip is 66. 66/67 is less than 1. [author2] His example is 100% right.
> If I Skip 66... that means I should only be splashing 1 stage + another 3 titans.
First of all, there is a difference between splash skip and splash count. Until the game is finished calculating your splash count for one attack, your splash skip will be applied to every stage. In your original post, you ignore the fact that splash skip refreshes every stage like Lethaemis said.
> So why is it that I splash +2 EVERY time. And Im at the same number of remaining titans ex: 132/192 on stage 65000, +2, now on 65002 with 132/192.
You are seeing +2 stages splashed (not skipped by the way) because you are using HS when there are already titans dead like you mentioned in your example (you said you started at 132/192).
If you started at 0/192, you wouldn't see +2 stages splashed because you would only be able to kill 1 boss before running out of splash count.
> In my example, however many titans I have... in my case 62 + 1 after skipping is considered , I take this number and divide it INTO the splash count. Mine is 66. 66/63 = 1.04 stages skipped. Clearly rounded to +2.
In this example you're ignoring the fact that splash skip refreshes every stage until you run out of splash count again, like Lethaemis mentioned. [author0] Obviously when i said i skip 66 i meant splash count 66. Skip is @ 130 which i explained.
so if titans get reduced from 192, to 62, and i splash 66 titans, there should be 3 leftover.
Explain to me how the game registers splash count at a certain number of titans already.
In my example if im at 132/192.... but for HS its technically 132/62, how the hell do i do this math? If i look at it like "ignore the 132" ok, so i splash count 66 titans which means that 132 + 66 = 198 which is 6 more than necessary so I clearly go to next level, and next level is supposed to be considered 62 titans again and I went some stages.
Please provide me with actual math that results in these answers instead of telling me this is it with no actual way of arriving at the answer, at least not in a way that explains everything.
Oh and here's some more values for you maybe you can fill in the blanks.
I came back from afk to 0/192. Cast HS. Skip to next stage, end up on titan count 134/192. How does this even make sense??
After searching various threads, i am absolutely correct to a point:
You take titans per stage after accounting for splash skip, in my case 62. You take the number of splash count (66). You divide the two. 66/62 =1.04x = 1 stage splashed but sometimes two. The decimal is the impossible thing to figure out. this is why its easy when u have round numbers. ex: Get my titan count down to 15, splash count 60. 60/15 = 4 stages splashed. [author2] > so if titans get reduced from 192, to 62, and i splash 66 titans, there should be 3 leftover.
You still don't seem to understand. Lethaemis's example is pretty clear, but I'll try to explain to you again.
> In my example if im at 132/192.... but for HS its technically 132/62.
That's not how it works. There is no dividing of any numbers.
> Oh and here's some more values for you maybe you can fill in the blanks. I came back from afk to 0/192. Cast HS. Skip to next stage, end up on titan count 134/192. How does this even make sense??
Again, splash skip refreshes every stage until you run out of splash count. I'll give you an example of how splash works if you started from 0/192.
Stage 65000: - 0/192. You use HS and it skips 130 titans (your splash skip) so you are now at 130/192. 62 titans left to kill. You don't have any more splash skip for this stage, so you need to use your splash count. You use 62 splash count to kill the regular titans + 1 more splash count for the boss. So you use a total of 63 splash count (3 left)
Your still have splash count left over, so the calculation continues to the next stage.
Stage 65001: - 0/192. Your damage continues from the last stage and your splash skip is applied again, so you are now at 130/192. 62 titans left to kill. You don't have any more splash skip for this stage, so you need to use your splash count. However, now you only have 3 splash count left. So now your remaining 3 splash count is used to kill 3 regular titans. You skipped 130 + 3 killed (total of 133 titans), which means you are now at 134/192.
Now your HS damage and splash calculation are over.
In this case, you only kill one boss, so 0 stages splashed.
> Get my titan count down to 15, splash count 60. 60/15 = 4 stages splashed.
No, if you get your titan count down to 15, you would splash 33 stages. 1 regular titan and 1 boss per stage means you would be able to splash 66/2 = 33 stages. Any extra splash skip does nothing. [author0] Oh, very helpful. I was putting the 130 on the wrong side of the 0/192.
Makes a whole lot more sense saying 130/192 rather than x/62.
And FYI the last part, i meant 15 titans after splash skip, aka having 178 total splash skip bringing my total titans to 14+1.
Edit: It makes sense at 0/192 titans because the math is easy to follow.
But how does the math look when I already am at x stages out of 192 and the splash skip carries over?
like 80/192. Now what? This is why I get confused.
Re-edit: I went back and looked at Lethaemis reply. I get it now the crazy thing is because of my splash count and skip i ended EXACTLY on 132/192 which never made sense because it was the same as what I started, 132/192. I wondered why it was the same.
If im at 133/192, it would go:
66-> 64 -> 1 and I'd end up on 132/192 after skipping 2 stages.
So as long as I'm at least at current titan of 63 or higher, I should always be skipping to 132/192 after 2 stages? [author2] > So as long as I'm at least at current titan of 63 or higher, I should always be skipping to 132/192 after 2 stages?
Yes, exactly. Now you've got it.

[author0] Hunter F6 moved up in repair cost. Now 20,000SL, meanwhile the Mig21s are still sitting at 7,000. What's wrong with this balancing? I actually petitioned the lowering of the hunter f6 repair cost as it gets dominated by Mach 2 jets and is absolutely hopeless when ANY jet is on your six. Instead they increase it?
I honestly give up with this game. Absolutely no clue how they "balance" everything. Why an earth are MIG 21s at 7,000SL. It doesn't make any sense and is unfair to people who play Britain. Even the F4E is sitting at 9,000 repair cost with the FGR2 more than 3,000 more. Why do they keep messing about repair costs 😡 Do they get bored? [author1] Because Mig-21’s aren’t easy to play, and they they get bad statistics until people finally get the hang of them.
And by the time they get good top tier just isn’t fun anymore [author0] I've 1V1 a few friends with my FGR2 against their MIG21s and they won all the matches, they out turn me and gun me down or R60 me if I try to do anything other than turning. Believe me the hunter f6 is not a good jet it's a brick. The only useful attribute is its 1km missiles. Do you think it's fair I'm having to pay triple the cost of the MIG 21s? I don't even have any counter measures nor can I run away or turn. [author1] You literally didn’t read a word of my comment. [author0] You said MIG 21s aren't easy to fly. Try the hunter f6 stock grind with 15k starting repair cost. ( And try not to get bankrupt in the process) [author1] Again you still didn’t read my comment entirely. The Mig is absolute garbage stock, the F-13 mostly, so the entire stock grind people have super negative KD’s and a majority of those players give up before they can correct that KD to positive.
Most of the Hunter F.6 players are old players already spaded, which enough to keep the whole plane’s kd positive.
This is why Gaijin’s balancing algorithm is broken. [author2] 21 indeed is bad in stock, but how do you think little faster and worse turning Hunter F.1 that’s at 10.0 fights supersonic jets? F.6 without SRAAMs is 9.3 plane at most [author1] You also didn’t read my comments
Nice. [author2] How did I not read them? You literally said that you struggle to get hang of them at first because they’re hard to play stock, but you can still manage to do shit, in F.6 however you’re stuck inside a useless plane until you research missiles that put it at 10.0 [author1] You still haven’t read my comments [author2] Whatever dude have fun in your circlejerk [author1] Please learn basic reading comprehension [author2] Please learn how to have a conversation instead of saying “learn how to read” [author1] Why should I repeat myself, I already answered it [author2] This literally supports my previous message, bye [author1] >The hunter F6 will remain a positive KD even in the future if hardly anyone touches it anymore.
Jesus dude, simple ass reading comprehension [author2] What does that have to do with repair costs? If you judge repair costs by K/D then you must be really low on brain cells, after all like entire gaijin is [author1] It’s gaijin’s algorithm monkey brain, not mine

[author0] Differences between Hifiman Sundara vs Ananda? Worth the price jump? I think this quarantine is making me bored and I’m going through probably my biggest “upgrade-itis” phase. I’ve been pretty content with my HD6XX and is honestly probably all I’d need, but lately I’ve been wondering what I’ve been missing. Mostly just asking out of curiosity at this point, but it seems like the Hifiman Sundara is the best option under $500. They seem like a pretty good deal at $350, but how much better is the Ananda at almost twice the price? And if I go to that price jump, how does the Focal Elex come into play? How does the LCD-1 compare to the Sundara?
Finally, is the Sundara hard to drive? I kinda want something I can use in my living room if I decide to go down this path. I would use a Fiio Q1 Mk II which I own but doesn’t drive my HD6XX well so it’s pretty much tethered to my bedside with a Magni 3. [author1] https://youtu.be/89RtTLeuCXk This video may answer that for you. I went straight to the Ananda myself, so I couldn't say how they compare. [author0] Thank you!

It did come out weekly and we can [see how many upvotes it got](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/6ltz4u/spoilers_made_in_abyss_episode_1_discussion/). Episode 1 with 2.1k and episode 12 with 4.3k. [author0] Was that considered high back than? [author1] It defiantly had the most popular discussion threads during the season it aired, but there weren't too many hugely popular shows airing that season. MHA S2 aired just before it with about 3-4k upvotes per thread for comparison.

[author0] So, the early discussion part of Dokapon Part 28 gave me an epiphany about XCOM:CS The Snek Delphines of that universe totally sell Gamersnek Oil. It will be weirder if they didn't. [author1] You think There is a market on Snek Shed Skin? [author2] Oh, hell yeah. Certainly.
Now, more importantly, you think snakeskin clothes are banned, frowned upon or reclassified as fetish gear? [author3] I guess that depends on how closely related the sneks are to actual snakes. It's probably a human/ape situation.

[author0] Who is your favorite musical artist and why? [author1] Jimi Hendrix, alongside his innovative music he was just a class act and a humble guy. He had the ability to charge the guitar with his soul and his voice was amazing too [author0] The only reason I know of Jimi Hendrix is because Future (rapper) was mostly influenced by a lot of his music. Can’t say I’ve listened to Hendrix tho

[author0] Shotz on Lack of NA Cops, AJ and Conan Suspensions [author1] People blame cops and the time slot on the lack of cops, I think stuff is like this which causes the lack of cops. [author2] You are correct people consistently not swapping to cop when the numbers are low is what causes lack of cops. [author3] Suspending them also causes lack of cops [author4] Well if they're consistently not switching when asked to then the presumption is they must not want to play their cop, so the whole "I would switch over to cop but I'm suspended now." seems kind of disingenuous since they never switched in the first place.
The real punishment is the 3 suspensions and you're fired anyway. The 5 cop limit needs to be enforced somehow and there's no real good way to do it that both discourages people from ignoring it and encourages them to follow it, other than the threat of having their cop char fired.

[author0] Working on some tips from last post while breaking in my latest purchase [author1] Such a sharp straight right.
Don't sway into your angle for left body hooks, drop into it. [author0] Thanks, I was thinking about your comment on my last one about not leaving my face out the straight right. [author1] For sure. Up top you're much tighter than last time... but when you try to take that low left slot you put too much body over your lead leg. Move the leg and drop the hips unless you're trying to do it in place. If that's the case then you've gotta pivot the rear foot and get the hips behind you to counterbalance the head moving over. It's actually the same issue of you leading the motion with your head now that I think about it.
I guess if I could think about that further and comment on it: the deviation of your centerline should be mostly side to side. Try not to get pulled forward when slipping out over the lead side. [author0] I think it comes from my very pressure forward fighting style. I spar much differently than I hit the bag, so some of my less desirable sparring habits come out in my bag work I’m sure. [author1] I think the bag creates this false image of your opponent, as in your opponent is squarely facing you and an available target all the time. In a live situation that left hook would either be finding its way between the elbows, a much shallower target, or you'd be changing over against a square opponent which would put you in a much safer place (outside the elbow) than an angled opponent (with your face right in front of their right hand... assuming orthodox). So this dipping the head way around the bag is something I see a bit around here and certainly something I've been guilty of. [author0] Yeah most of my sparring partners get lulled into a phone booth with me, so I have gotten used to a squared up opponent. My most challenging sparring partner who moves like a dream hardly comes around anymore and he’s the one I have to adapt most against, so I try to get different sparring where I can. It’s tough to check all the boxes in this sport.

[author0] My DM doesn't get the hint that we dont want to play with his campaign anymore Since covid-19 me and my friends have been running are own campaigns with each other and one Of my friends does no prep work and and somehow tries to railroad me and my other friends into a certain path for example, I wanted to cause chaos a little bit since the session wasn't really fun and since he gave me something called the monster mask, a homebrew item that can change me into anything with a good enough dice roll but when I put it on and try to cause some chaos somehow like 20 guards come up and do more than 100 damage and another example is he threatens us the players to summon a tarrasque just for having some fun. how do I tell him without hurting his feelings that I dont want to play the campaign anymore. [author1] You said you are causing chaos because you're not having fun. How about you try not to cause chaos and instead have a talk with your DM. Tell him you would have more fun if he did more of this and less of this. Don't try to increase your fun unilaterally; it needs to be coordinated with the DM's story. [author0] I will think about not causing any but he's one of those people to ask the players what do you want to do in the starter town a hundred times and the only options are either redo things or cause something. [author1] He should not have to ask you what you want to do in starter town. He should give you a mission and you should be trying to achieve that goal. You are free to cause chaos but only if it helps you achieve the goal. Just doing it to make the game more exciting is disruptive. If it's not exciting, it's not your place to spice things up like that. You need to talk to the DM and tell him you are bored. You're trying to make his game more fun for him. You should be trying to work with him. Not trying to be preachy, probably past my bedtime [author0] Ok ok I'll try to do the campaign and try to talk with him about how I'm bored and how the rest of us are bored and tell him what's wrong if that doesn't work then I dont know what will. [author1] Don't speak for the other players. Just tell him how you feel and ask him if he will work with you to make the game more fun. Be specific about what you have and have not enjoyed. He doesn't want you to leave. [author0] Well in this case I can talk for the other players since the other 2 also dont like the campaign but I will let the Talk for themselves thank you very much for the advice. [author1] Best of luck. May the fleas of a thousand blink dogs infest your archnemeses.

[author0] Sloop is the best ship to PVP (RANT) So ever since I got the game my main ship has been a sloop. I've only recently become obsessed with PVP. Well, I've gotten really good at it because of it and now that's my main goal when I play. So recently I met more players who like PVP too and tried to use a galleon and Brig... man does it suck. EVERY ship we hunt ends up running and avoiding the fights. Each sink takes 45min + to catch the wind and catch up or to give up because they already wasted an hour of our lives.
I think it has to do with any ship other than a sloop means that you (another ship) can have an advantage, be even, or have the advantage against a brig or galleon. Unlike when you're on a ship where most of the time you are at a disadvantage since the ship you are fighting is larger than you or you are evenly matched. This is why most ships stay and don't run away.
The purpose of this rant is to ask a question. why are so many pirates cowards when it comes to fighting bigger ships?.. I've lived by the rule of never backing off a fight just because of the ship size. Why do others freaking run for an hour when they only have 7 bananas store?!!!!!!!! [author1] My crew and I prefer the brig! It’s the best all around ship. [author2] This is why me and my crew are sticking to 3 manned. The brig is an amazing all rounder [author3] The brig has amazing acceleration and handling. The galleon is just too hard to man, even with 4 people and the sloop needs more cannons and speed. Brig is best boat change my mind.

[author0] Dad wants to pay off my mortgage and have me pay him back at a lower rate. How do we do this without it being a gift? My dad has decided we'd all be better off (me and sibling) if he paid off our mortgages, and he's starting with mine because I have the least debt. His plan is to give me $12,000 per month, to be used exclusively to pay off my mortgage, and after the mortgage is repaid, begin paying him back at $600 per month until the mortgage is paid, plus 2% more (not compounding, just 2% of the total he gave me).
My family has been hit pretty hard by the social distancing; we have a home-based business that's seen a fall-off of 70% or more, and it's hard to imagine it recovering any time soon. We weren't doing particularly well before. Our youngest car is 12 years old, we've been neglecting the house, putting off expenses. Needless to say, it would be pretty helpful to take Dad up on his offer.
My concern, which he has as well, is that we'll have to pay a huge gift tax on the money, even though he's loaning it to us (albeit with generous terms). Is there any way to avoid this being classified as a gift? If not, how big of a tax bill are we looking at? Would we be better off doing something completely different? Thank you for reading and your consideration.
Edit: To head off any further misunderstanding about my point, I'm asking this because I don't know what the tax implications are, but I'm fairly confident the IRS has a standard for what's considered a gift even if it's a loan, because it's too generous. Replies of "loans aren't gifts" aren't helpful, because I at least know that much. What I don't know is how the IRS defines a loan that's not so generous that it becomes a gift. [author1] How much do you owe on your mortgage? [author0] A bit above $100,000.

[author0] How would you spend your first 1m meat? Coming up on my first million. Softcore normals around 6 days and dropping.
I had been looking forward to a Numberwang or a Fudgecycle or a Sasq watch, but recently bought a Crimbolex. Also, I realized that the rollover adventure items are less critical than I thought they were at 10-day ascensions.
I’m now wondering what to buy / save for / invest in. I plan to be in softcore for the near future, perming skills and doing standard/pathed runs soon. I’ve got Snokebomb and Perfect Freeze. Any ideas? [author1] * A dried gelatinous cube (400k). Will save you ~30 turns per run in the Daily Dungeon
* A stooper (230k). Gives +1 liver when equipped. (Not Standard-eligible)
* Shattering punch (600k) Essentially 3 free kills per day. (Not Standard-eligible)
Edit: As a long-term goal: 19 neverending party guest passes (about 108k each), so you can get Drinking to Live, a permanent +1 liver [author2] You can buy a ring of detect boring doors and an eleven-foot pole for minimum in the mall... all you have to do is the daily dungeon for 27 days and you can get a dried gelatinous cube for free. :) [author3] If you don't want to spend a month sitting in aftercore, you can also buy a GameInformPowerDailyPro magazine for 1250 meat apiece to unlock a lesser-known dungeon where you can farm multiple fat loot tokens per day. It'll take 20-30 turns to get each token, but you can also collect some [untradable equipment](https://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Raiments_of_the_Final_Boss), and you might be able to find items worth selling in the mall, like extra-strength red potions, shining goblets, and whole roasted chickens.

[author0] Painted my 1/100 Lupus Rex in Destiny 2’s Calus Selected color scheme! [author1] What are these colors? My favorite shader for my hunter :D [author0] I used Alclad Pale Gold over a black primer for the gold, Alclad Candy Violet over the silver candy base, and I did a little bit of preshading under a basic mr color white [author1] Lacquers... I've never used them but I was going to try on my newest build. I use a 0.3 iwata and a decent pump. What PSI thinners, etc? [author0] Yep! I like lacquers a lot more than acrylic. In general, I spray around 19 psi for most mr color stuff and for the majority of my Alclad. There are a few exceptions like for the Pale Gold, you have to spray at around 12-15 psi and do really thin coats, otherwise it just gunks up. Alclad usually comes pre thinned and ready to spray, but for Mr Color, 90% of the paints, I usually just thin 1:1 with Mr Color Leveling Thinner. It’s usually pretty hard to over thin Mr Color stuff though so I just eyeball it.

[author0] Working for Skip is costing me $$$ Between the countless lost orders due to connection issues, or the lost orders when the app has an update but doesn't tell you, and the hours that it seems I can go without getting an order some days, despite the fact that I can go to the restaurants and SEE that they have 10+ Skip orders, it really seems like I can't actually make money working for Skip anymore. Some days when the app isn't experiencing all of its issues I can make $150+ in 4 hours, but today I've waited for 2+ hours without an order. I've gone in to the restaurants and seen that they are very busy with Skip yet I am matched to no orders. It seems like the bugginess and poor app development is actually starting to affect my ability to make income for myself and yet despite trying to reach out to ALL methods of contact, nobody seems interested in even trying to get the Courier app/servers fixed. It's getting really hard to continue putting up with the constant frustration arising from trying to make an income with Skip. I don't know what to do to make my voice heard and for them to start taking getting the app fixed seriously.
EDIT: this is not me looking to complain or vent out of frustration. I know because I've worked for Skip long enough that there is a problem with the app at least in my zone. I am trying to find a way to get these problems fixed because I love working for Skip and I don't want to have to stop [author1] I restart my app probably 10 times a day, very frustrating, but my worst day over the last 2 months or so was $75 [author0] Tonight was my worst night I've EVER had in 5 years: $10 in 3.5 hours, but we do have a lot of restaurants shut down tonight in my zone due to a boil water advisory brought on by flooding, so I'm thinking that this is the culprit today for me. But the connection problems and necessary app restarts is an ongoing issue since Oct/Nov 2019 as far as I can remember [author2] > boil water advisory brought on by flooding

The Yellowstone idea would be even more plausible if you were shown photos of everyone on the streets in masks... [author1] Yah, it was crazy, it basically destroyed half of the telecommunications infrastructure in the world at the time... which was 1859, so there actually wasn't very much. I saw a thing a while back that talked about what would happen if a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) about five times as powerful as the Carrington Event one hit us now, and how it would fry a lot of our machines. Some of the infrastructure is hardened against such a solar storm, but a lot is not.

[author0] What would be deemed a good workout in miles Hell Cycling community,
I've been snacking way too much the past couple of weeks and ideally I want to get back into my healthy habits, one of which is cycling regularly.
What goal should I be aiming for in miles to get in a good workout?
I have an open access velodrome track near my house, it's not in the best of conditions but it does the job and I'm able to get my heart rate up whilst doing laps on it.
Any suggestions?
Thank you [author1] If you are looking to do structured workouts then time is a much better metric than pure miles.
12 miles of hill repeats with 1,200' of elevation gain vs 12 miles of flat road are way different workouts yet have the same miles. The hill repeat ride will be an hour of basically Vo2 max intervals, and the flat 12 miles can be easily done at an average speed of 18 mph and never get above HR zone 2, and 12 miles on flat ground in an hour is a recovery ride.
The good news is a velodrome eliminates traffic/stop lights etc and can be great for uninterrupted intervals. [Here is an intro to interval training.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FFoWBO82HU) [author0] Awesome, thank you for the information :) [author1] [Here is another VC video that will help](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfV1oi-cBAw), I know he can be annoying to some people but his content is pretty good.
If you don't have an HR monitor then I'd get consider getting one, and the chest straps tend to work better/more accurate than optical ones. [author0] I've got a smart watch luckily which has a cycle mode to track it all :)

Meanwhile, Ben confronts Sullivan about his drug problem; and Maya’s mother, Katherine, pays Maya a visit. [author1] Did anyone else sense some regret in Andy’s voice when she was talking about her marriage? Especially because the main reason she’s happy about marrying Sullivan is that “her dad got to walk her down the aisle.” Not her unconditional love for him or even her desire to get married, but to get that one memory. I don’t know. Their marriage seems like it’s on really shaky ground...I hope that they’re the MerDer of Grey’s, and not the Omelia. [author2] It looks like Andy may try to make the marriage work with Sullivan because "her dad got to be there" and she will want that one last happy memory with him. But yeah, I think she even knows that she rushed into it and she may love Sullivan, but she still doesn't really know him.

[author0] I Take Tara Reade’s Allegations Against Biden Seriously, and I’m Still Voting for Him. Here’s Why. [author1] 25 against Trump with detailed affidavits didn't seem to stop anyone towards him or Kavanaugh. [author2] So the precedent has been set and we just allow it moving forward? [author1] It seems the country doesn't care. I' not saying it's right but this election is very important and the only reason this came out against Biden is someone in Trump's campaign leaked it. After Trump's 25 accusations, it's still dubious. Trump must be removed by any means and Biden is the only choice. Hopefully by 2024, the US will grow a conscience again. I wouldn't be surprised if Biden only served one term just for that purpose. His job will be to mend what Trump's done. After that it's up to the DNC to get younger blood in office. [author2] What of I were to tell you there are candidates for president, who aren't even radicals, who have similar voting records to Biden (as in, moderate/republican) who have zero sex scandals or accusations in their past, are known to be relatively moral, possess all their mental faculties, and aren't senior citizens? The only drawback is they don't have (D) or (R) next to their names.
Before you say "just this year, we have to get rid of Trump and THEN we can vote how we really want." Know that this has been said every four years since we devolved to a 2-party system and 2024 will be no different.
There are are much better options than Trump or Biden. At the end of the day, you, and most of America are just going to accept that there's only 2 parties and you'll vote for a letter of the alphabet over voting for a person, and you'll recieve appropriate amount of representation [author1] What if I told you it's done. You have only 2 choices. Vote wisely or be part of the problem. [author2] It's done only if we accept it as that. Yes, the democrats and republicans have effectively, if not officially, chosen their candidates. So you can vote for a letter, or find an actual person still in the running who you think could do a better job and vote for them.
Don't be lazy just because you, rightly, think the rest of America is going to be lazy. I'm vaguely recalling some cliche about "be the change... " [author3] Lazy??
The REALITY is there are two candidates.
TWO CANDIDATES. What’s lazy about choosing between the two? [author2] You are factually incorrect.
I GUARANTEE that if you actually opened your mind to it you'd find a better a candidate than the main two. By voting for one of them you're voting for the system to continue as it is. We'll have nothing but increasingly immoral, increasing old, and increasing senile candidates forever unless we make a statement with the only power we have, our votes. [author3] I don’t have the luxury to waste my time OPENING UP my mind while Trump continue to SHIT on minorities. We simply can’t afford to have another 4 years of that Orange turd.
You might have that luxury though. [author4] THIS. Accepting 4 more years of Trump just because you’re in your feelings is a privilege. For some of us, another 4 years is the difference between life and death.

[author0] My days waiting tables.... I worked at the Macaroni Grill in Towson, MD, and one night this blond white Karen came in with her two bad awful children with suburban white names like Tristan and Katlynn. Anyways, she couldn't deal with them at all because, you know she was a Karen. Her kids were unmanageable and she was a total B. At one point she started screaming at me for not catering to her needs fast enough as she waited for her husband to arrive. Mind you, the Macaroni Grill is not the 4 Seasons, but a low-budget pasta restaurant for cheapskates. She turns and screams at me "Do you even KNOW who MY HUSBAND IS?" now, I am making like $2/hr and really don't give a crap because I had weed at home and just want to go home because this B on my last nerve. Anyway, her husband shows up, orders two Jhonny Walker Black scotches, and in true Karen Husband form, hands HER THE FREAKING CHECKBOOK and runs out without even a freaking WORD to her. What a freaking coward. Clearly he is miserable being married to this hot piece of a** who is a total DB. She leaves me like $1 tip and a nasty little note. I crumple it up and don't even put the $1 tip in, like I lost the receipt. I couldn't wait to quit that place. The head waiter was a Percocet Queen who was also a Karen herself. Good Riddance. [author1] Do you write Lord Dampnut's speeches? This reads like the stream of consciousness that falls out of his mouth. [author0] No, I am merely a low paid flight attendant/former waiter who, at the present moment, is conjuring the spirit of Ernest Hemingway, but not the REAL Hemingway, but rather the fake one in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris Movie. As I sit here in my tiny 2-bed apartment in New Jersey, and think about days gone past and the Karen's I have met; sipping on Jack Daniels and Diet coke from a used McDonalds cup which I like because it holds more ice and alcohol than my Wal-mart Better Homes n Gardens glassware. I am reminded of a time when I made equally shit pay to put up with a bunch of trashy entitled white women while working for Macaroni Grill who since went bankrupt at least once, and sold whatever coolness they once had to a capital investment firm because they couldn't make profit from a friggin PASTA restaurant, the absolute cheapest possible food, where clearly all the Karens in Towson, MD knew the Manager by first name (also a white woman who was a firey irish woman who put up with zero shit from anyone). I look back to those terrible times and I am thankful every day that Jack Daniels invented some wonderful whisky so that at the end of my day, I can let all their entitlement slip away from my brain as I cocoon into my bed at the end of a covid-19 lockdown. [author2] Well fielded.

[author0] I'm unhappy AF in my relationship and idk what to do... Hi Reddit! Sorry this must be my like 5th post here but I'm going through an emotional slump right now and just really need some outside help/advice/guidance.
Me (19M) and my girlfriend (19F) have been dating for around 7 months now. In the beginning it was all sunshine and rainbows and we connected very deeply. I could not imagine myself with anyone other than her (still don't)!
However because we're so so SO similar, we've had tons of problems with handling conflict and dealing with each other in fights.
And also I'll admit that we're both mature people, but EXTREMELY immature in terms of our relationship.
I guess we're both just very dominant, and neither of us like to back down in fights. It feels like we're fighting AGAINST each other rather than working with each other because we get so defensive and petty during these times.
Anyways, we've broken up 3 times and each time we get back together I hope things change but they don't.
When we're together everything is fine, we have fun, show affection etc. But anything small that happens ends up BLOWING tf up and idk if I'm the problem or if she is.
**For Example:**
*(Girlfriend) will be upset over something, be it something I said, did, or her just being in a bad mood. We could be on FaceTime, in person, whatever, and she will get angrier no matter what I say/do.*
*It's like she expects me to read her mind!*
*She'll always ask for space, and if I keep trying to solve her problem she will only get more mad to the point where she blows up. If I give her space, she'll always come back saying I ignored her feelings and that I don't care about her.*
Anyways, I just feel lost and in despair. I get extreme anxiety whenever I assume she's even a little upset, whether she's with me or not (maybe because I'm a chronic overthinker). So when she asks for space it just eats me away sitting there preparing for her to break up with me, or worse... she stays in the relationship and just slowly loses love/attraction for me.
This has been going on for a while and I've not been able to be happy.
**What should I do?**
I feel like each break up makes her care less and less about me. And because of this I've begun drawing away too, giving her less, and preparing myself for the worst.
Should I just end the relationship here and take the hit from the heartbreak train? I guess I'm waiting, HOPING, for her to change. Is there anything to hope for? [author1] You're both 19. You have broken up 3 times in a seven month period. Take it as the sign it is and break up for good. This relationship isn't going anywhere and you know it. [author0] I feel like we’re compatible, but just young and immature af. I don’t want to lose her and during the break ups it was more of a self reflection period for both of us.
Maybe just being friends until the right time is the best move? [author1] Maybe friends would work for you, maybe it wouldn't, but the fact you **know** is that the relationship isn't working. So end the relationship and see how it goes from there. [author0] Thanks for the advice! Hopefully I can muster up enough balls to do it.

[author0] No experience with roofing. Because of cost and availability I used hardwood flooring laminate as siding! Are there any issues I might have with that? Thanks! [author1] It looks good. The only issue with using laminate is that it will swell if waters gets through the joints. Being vertical will decrease the chances of that happeneing though. [author0] Thank you! Yea that was my worry because it’s all mdf inside. Do you have any advice on what I might seal any gaps with? There all pretty tight but it got a little awkward in some areas. [author2] If the joints are tight maybe some paste wax would help. If not then maybe silicone caulk? Might look messy. At worst you could paint it with exterior paint. Could pick up a sample from Lowe’s or HD for a few bucks. [author0] Thank you! Appreciate your thought on it!

[author0] I need motivation to study Hey guys I could seriously use some motivation please help lol. What motivated you to study? Any quotes? Been having a little depression and the online schooling component does not help. [author1] They shared this with us on our first day of orientation for nursing school.
"Student, you do not study to pass the test. You study to prepare for the day when you are the only thing between a patient and the grave."
You are studying for more than yourself. [author2] I'm so ready to massage a fundus. All the fundi. [author3] Hahahaha. This is golden, I remember first year.
“If the answer has massage the fundus, it’s the answer. Don’t even bother to read the question”.

[author0] 86 K10 No Gears I have an 86 Chevy K10 with a 700r4 transmission, when I first started it it had gears but then lost them slightly after, now it has nothing, no mobility at all, idk the history of it but ik the tv cable was improperly adjusted getting it on the trailer, any advice before I completely get it overhauled? [author1] When you select the gear can you feel the mechanism move or is it smooth?
You either have bad linkage, bad vacuum line to trans, or a bad trans [author0] Yeah the linkage is hooked up properly

[author0] More similar than they realize [author1] Unfortunately, they are the globalists they hate [author2] trump is in no way a globalist, that would require him to have any sort of economic knowledge [author1] Eh. Listen to his UN speech's and focus on his "sovereignty" spiel. He basically advocates a global "every asshole for themselves"

[author0] Freehold boosting question Hey I wanted to know if anyone has experience boosting freehold dungeons as a fury warrior. Im relatively geared (470 arms right now) and I tried pulling the normal groups (like you would pull as a DH or Prot) and I had a hard time because arms barely has any sustain. I destroyed the mobs but I just took too much damage with 0 healing.
Now im wondering if getting a 2nd 2 hand sword and switching to fury (due to superior self healing) would be worth it because my gear is and corruptions are decent I just don't have enough healing.
Before I went on the specific journy to raid for the weapon I wanted to ask if anyone has done it and how viable it is because I don't really want to look for the weapon if its still incredibly hard to do [author1] I dont do boosting but maybe you are pulling too much? [author0] If I dont do comparable pulls to my prot warrior there would be no reason to do it as fury because it wouldnt be faster.
Im just not sure if the additional self healing of fury is enough to comfortable do these pulls with good gear

[author0] Tim Cook expects iPhone SE to attract Android users, ‘it’s faster than the fastest Android phones’ [author1] The missing jack and battery life is still keeping me off it. [author2] yeah idk if this is gonna attract Android users... I don't think raw power is something that most people will be able to feel a significant difference in. pretty much any phone these days is "fast" for general purposes. battery on the other hand is very noticeable [author3] its not about being fast now, its about being able to keep up performance for 4-5 years, look at the 6s, its still usable at 4.5 years old while the s6 and every other android phone from 2015 being completely unusable [author2] what's the use to that if the battery will degrade severely before you can even get to that stage? yeah battery replacements are available but most people would buy a new phone instead. 6s phones are usable but the batteries are degraded severely. my brother has an s7 and it works perfectly fine but the battery is also degraded. imo a big development in modern phones is battery capacity and this is a big thing when it comes to longevity as much as performance is [author4] >what's the use to that if the battery will degrade severely before you can even get to that stage?
I'm trying to decide whether I should buy the new SE and sorry if this is obvious, but why will the battery degrade severely after a few years? [author2] all batteries degrade with time, the benefit of a bigger battery is that it will last longer and still be usable e.g. a big battery degrading by 20% after two years will still last a long time but a tiny battery degrading after two years won't last nearly as much as you need it to between charges. also, the more cycles the battery goes through (i.e. the more times you drain it and recharge it) the faster it will degrade. battery replacements are available and relatively inexpensive so that's definitely an option but the battery is bad when it's brand new so unless you're a very light phone user I just don't think its the greatest option. if you use your phone a lot it's probably better to go for the 11 [author4] > the battery is bad when it's brand new so unless you're a very light phone user I just don't think its the greatest option.
Thanks for this information. I'm honestly shocked that Apple would put a bad battery in a brand new phone but I guess here we are.
Edit: It does kind of answer the whole "what do you get for the extra $500?" question. [author5] According to reports I’ve seen the battery on the SE is worse than the iPhone 11 but not terrible/unusable. This article has SE battery life at 9 hr 18 mins and iPhone 11 Pro at 10 hours 24 mins.
https://www.tomsguide.com/news/iphone-se-2020-battery-life-is-a-major-letdown [author6] the article is literally titled "iPhone SE 2020 battery life is a major letdown"
i care less about numbers on papers than i care about people's experience. [author5] It’s 10% worse. It’s not ideal but it doesn’t make the phone unusable.

[author0] Well, this a twist I didn't see coming. [author1] I'm in much the same boat, it's an open secret that mom is a closeted trans man. [author2] Same with mine, what the hell. [author1] Oh shit is being trans heritable? [author3] From twin studies we know that there definitely is a genetic component. [author4] Got more information on those? That would be very interesting. [author3] Here are a few articles on how certain genetic variants are linked to being trans/gender dysphoria
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/02/200205084203.htm
https://nypost.com/2018/10/05/scientists-discover-link-between-genes-and-being-transgender/
https://theconversation.com/how-genes-and-evolution-shape-gender-and-transgender-identity-108911
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-53500-y [author5] Huh, so there’s a trans gene
^(I mean this isn’t absolute and science is rarely ever that simple and that it will require hundreds of studies and a panel of experts to review it multiple time before it becomes anywhere close to the truth, but hey, a trans girl can dream) [author6] I'm actually a little paranoid about this possibility, because I feel like it would inevitably be used to gate-keep being trans. Imagine if they find a gene (or combination of genes) that correlates heavily with being trans. Inevitably because people are complicated, there would be a substantial fraction of trans people who don't have that gene. You can bet that they are going to be told that that's proof they aren't really trans and it's going to be used as an excuse to prevent those people from getting treatment. [author7] Also. Eugenics... [author6] Oh fuck. That's an even scarier thought that hadn't occurred to me. [author7] :'(

[author0] Eyeshadow palettes I’ve bought, but haven’t used yet (haven’t been wearing makeup in SIP) [author0] Urban Decay Naked Honey
Natasha Denona Mini Retro
Huda Beauty Neon Obsessions Green
Huda Beauty Neon Obsessions Orange
Colourpop Blowin’ Smoke
Colourpop Lilac You A Lot [author1] How is the naked honey? [author0] I haven’t used it yet :( but I did also buy the mini naked honey palette and it’s so so beautiful. The shades are all very different, have good color pay off, and blend easily! The mini version was so beautiful that I had to buy the full size too!
When it first came out I wasn’t interested because I thought what’s the point of having so many gold shades? But you can do so much with it! [author1] Thank you for the reply. Im thinking of getting it since i dont have yellow and gold in my collection. [author0] Then I definitely recommend! :)

[author0] Dyson diesel - Pipe dream, has anyone been able to deliver the big oil tanker to the factory? I most DEFENITLY have the quest accepted because im tracking it and I just ca not deliver the trailer, drove it in in reverse, nose first, I winched it in it does not accept it.... [author1] Playing on xb1 i brought it there, and it wouldn't accept it. Then i had to leave the game, when i started it up again i delivered the other items to the factory and the tanker was gone but the truck that was attached was there and it said I'd completed the quest. [author0] Wish the game would make it more clear in what order you have to do things :/

[author0] White streaks on glass top cooking range. The recommended shampoo + elbow grease won't remove it. [author1] They make a special lightly abrasive cleaner for cooktops. I used it for years on mine to no ill effect. Ceramabryte? Maybe. [author2] OP do this! It works.

[author0] Please help figure out what's going on with my tomatoes! This happened in a matter of about 10 hours. [author1] Aphids! Diatomaceous earth, neem oil, lady bugs (use one not all at once). Looks pretty infested, you should probably do it ASAP. Heck, even a spray down with water & dish detergent would help. [author0] Thanks for the response. I looked really close and to me, they don't look like bugs, and we don't have anything in the house. I will keep an eye on it though and I already have a box of diatomaceous earth if needed.

[author0] These were given to me by a resident at the senior center where I work - mint marks in comments. Is there anything of particularly high importance or are these just your average silver quarters? Thanks! [author0] Mint marks:
1945-D
1953-D
1957-D
1963-D
I’m not planning on selling these, but was looking at cointrackers.com to see the value of “average condition” for fun. Is that a reliable site to determine coin value or would you recommend something else? [author1] I love that site because its laid out really well to check coins fast. But they do seem to be a bit inflated in value. It makes it easy to see the values that jump up from the other years. Most of these quarters they say $6 when I'd say $3.5. You could get $6 for one maybe if you're just selling 1 coin to someone that wants to have a silver coin. But a silver bug collector wouldnt pay that much for one. And the high values they have are like show pieces uncirculated proofs. The 1st year washington 1932 seems to have a much higher value compared to all the rest. [author0] Thanks a lot for the detailed reply! Just out of curiosity, what would you estimate the 1942’s cost?

[author0] If you could choose one character who was only in one or two episodes to replace someone who was in a handful of episodes, who would you choose? [author0] I'd love to have **Special Agent Ryan Shockneck,** *FBI.* ***Fuck you.*** Instead of Ted Johnson. [author1] He passed away about six months before the episode aired. But as in just the character, sure. [author2] Denny Doherty. From the Mama's and the papas before he started a solo career. Later on he was the harbormaster in Theodore Tugboat so of anyone here watched that as a kid and wants to see the harbormaster swear, this is it. [author1] Yeah, I went to the Neptune theater here in Halifax once and he sat on a stool and we listened to him tell stories of him doing acid with Paul McCartney and Janis Joplin on a beach, and how his Hollywood home and John Phillips' house both became party central for the rock stars and celebrities. It was in such poor condition after that that he couldn't sell it or something like that. And one about him blowing the last of his money on a private jet, I think. Stories like that. It was great.

I might actually burn that outfit now that I think about it.
