[author0] Pay-per-Hour Proposal Hi there! I see this was discussed once before, but I felt the discussion could be revived nonetheless. I was wondering how people feel about a pay per hour plan on the Shadow, and whether it is feasible/desirable to implement by the awesome folks over at Shadow. I understand that Shadow might consider this to be totally unnecessary since they have an overwhelming amount of subscriber inflow right now anyway, and that is totally cool but I felt I would share my thoughts regardless in case something like this could be implemented. Anything I say below is of course the ideal scenario for me; I accept these compromises will not be acceptable to everybody.
I'm located in the US, currently not on a Shadow plan because I am as yet unwilling to commit, but I will be revisiting the decision after purchasing a new machine and moving to the West coast. While I wholeheartedly agree $15 a month is an exceptional value for what you get even without the annual commitment, I don't foresee myself gaming all that much, perhaps a few times a month for a few hours each but I would love to take advantage of the hardware Shadow has to offer.
Is it possible to implement a time-sharing system where users on this other plan (no change required for the existing ones obviously) could perhaps commit to a time that they will use the system, and will be locked out at all other times so that others can use the system, with everybody getting an equal opportunity to pick their preferred time slot? Needless to say, I would love for it to cost me significantly less than $15 a month and I'm willing to give up flexibility in return.
A dumbed-down example laid out below (feel free to point out fallacies and suggestions). Note that I chose to use a model where you don't commit, but are slightly incentivized to.
Say a server is set up in the Santa Clara county with the specs of a regular Boost Shadow PC but one that will be shared by multiple users. I'm assuming this server will be used for gaming only, which seems to the typical use case for people on this sub. If this were a regular subscriber, they would have 256GB of storage but naturally that might not be sufficient for multiple users. Say this one PC is equipped with 2TB of storage divided among users (based on 8 gamers, explained below), with the caveat that if you go a month without using the subscription your data is cleaned and made available to another user or something with perhaps backup available for a limited time idk. (Other incentives to keep the subscription likely should be introduced. )This would drive up the cost of the system, but let's say the increase in subscriber inflow makes up for it. Not sure how the pricing for storage works assuming they get parts in bulk and also not sure how popular this would be, but if somebody wants to do estimates feel free.
Say the pricing is $0.2 an hour. Say I only play on Saturday and Sunday, say always from 10am-1pm. I used a 6h time per week based on a quick google search of average gaming time and accounting for the fact that people on this tier will likely not be hard-core gamers. Assuming people follow a regular sleep schedule there can be slots until 10am, but possibly even after midnight if somebody wants to do it for perhaps a cheaper rate. For me, that comes out to $3.2 a month. I'm okay with that, I'm guessing other people might be as well but we'll see. Another possibility is the freedom to choose whatever slots but with a possible monthly cap. Note that is a commitment-free price and is thus compared to the commitment-free monthly price for regular Boost, BUT it does attempt to incentivize users to keep paying. You do however commit to limiting your use of the machine.
We'll get to how much this brings Shadow next. The following is where the compromise is laid out:
Assume everybody follows a 6h per week gaming time, there can be additional users from 1pm-4pm, 4pm-7pm and 7pm-10pm and possibly other slots but let's shoot for a conservative estimate here since these slots will likely not be all full. Perhaps certain slots could be incentivized and others might command a premium? So far, we have 4 users on one system. Now assuming a 9-5 work week and the likelihood of people wanting to game in the morning 0, say people use slots 5-7, 7-9 and 9-11 for their gaming since not everybody wants to game 3 or 6 straight hours. Simplifying the situation a ton, three people can occupy all these slots Wednesday through Friday, and say Monday and Tuesday are reserved for three other gamers who are happy with 4 hours a week. That's 6 additional gamers.
Now once again, not all the slots are going to be filled so let's say we have 8 gamers using one machine to time share. 8 gamers for 6h a week with $0.2 an hour pricing is $38.4 for Shadow against the regular $15 in exchange for taking some risk regarding how many subscribers they will have every month. There is the added benefit that if people choose to not continue their subscription, new users can be tacked on to existing machines without the need to always set up new ones.
The above was an example with fixed slots, but perhaps it might be easier for both the user and Shadow to implement on-demand slots instead but with a weekly/monthly cap for each user since the ideal time to play might not be the same across weeks for people.
That said I'm probably missing something, hence the discussion. For one, I suspect some existing subscribers might be incentivized to switch over to this plan causing possible loss of revenue. Also, I used a conservative pricing of $0.2 an hour but obviously bumping it up might result in significant benefits for Shadow. Would love to hear the community and Shadow's thoughts! [author1] Paperspace already does this.. [author0] Thanks for the feedback! I knew about paperspace but the community here is awesome + I have lots of respect for the Shadow staff based on their involvement and response to feedback in this sub. I guess I just really wanted to be a part of it too haha

[author0] It’s totally their prerogative, but I believe people should utilize human names more often for their pets. This was inspired by the people who name their pets ironically oxymoronic names, IE a chihuahua named Goliath, an iguana named reptar. There is nothing wrong with this— it is totally their choice to name their pets whatever they want, however I believe human names given to pets under a similarly ironic motivation can serve to better position your pets as your equals and not your captive; thus creating a more enriching bond between you and your pet.
Let me elaborate. I have a juvenile crested gecko . Almost one year old. For the first couple months of his life I called him Balerion the tiny dread(ironically, due to my affinity of George RR Martins epic fantasy series; Game of Thrones). However I felt that it was not fitting for the little guy whatsoever. He now goes by Howard and the more he grows and the more we interact the further I believe that Howard is the perfect name for him.
On the same token, I saw a cute dog by the name of Phillip. We need more dogs named Phillip and less named spike, spot and Bella. We need canine Phillips, we need canine Travises; no more generic pet names. Time to show your pets that they are a true member of your family and not just a toy with a funny name. [author1] I met a dog named Jim the other day. Jim had a touch of ptsd from getting clipped by a car. [author0] My heart goes out to little jimmy.

[author0] What is an opinion you have that always suprises people based on what they expect of someone 'like you'? [author1] People are always shocked that I'm against the death penalty because I'm usually a violent angry individual. However, I'm against it specifically because it lets criminals off too easy. They deserve for suffer for extended periods of time [author2] Are you by chance one of those people who believes anyone convicted of a capital offense should make themselves useful to society and be allowed to be experimented on for faster acceleration of medications, vaccines, and genetic experiments? [author1] Only with drugs and procedures that have already been approved for human testing [author2] Ah see I’m of the belief persons convicted of a crime heinous enough to warrant the death penalty have surrendered their right to call themselves human, to each their own though!

[author0] Baby On The Way & I need to start my career (19M) I’m 19 years old, been working since 17 & have been focusing on my finances ever since, Now that me and my girlfriend for almost 3 years are expecting a child, I need to start my electrical career ASAP. I live in the GTA area in Canada, if anybody in the area has their jobs hiring and can guide me it’ll be a blessing. And for everybody else what is some advice you can give me as I do not have an active father in my life. Peace [author1] Probably the worst time in the last 50+ years to be looking for a job.
get a good resume written up, pay to have it looked at and edited by a professional,
figure out your local union, you can call and ask about how they do applications, check online, apply there first.
head over to your local supply shops and ask if they have a job board, many may not be open. this can be a good way to get a job with an old school shop that wont advertise to the public
google all the electrical jobs in your area, apply for all the large companies through there online portals.
figure out any small companies that are hiring, apply for those how they ask you to. terrible time to apply as usually you want to go shake hands and say hi when you hand in the resume and you cant do that now, and the shop should be closed anyways.
ask friends and family if they know anyone in the trades, even if its a different trade, ask for contact information. let them know your situation and what you are trying to do. they may know someone hiring, be able to get you a job on a large site, or offer you something. a lot of hiring in the trades is who you know.
honestly don't give up if you can't get anything in the next while, wait for restrictions to lift and lots of places will be hiring. [author0] Appreciate it, will do that for sure

[author0] What is a snack/meal that is normal in your family, but may seem odd to other people? [author1] The humble crisp sandwich, a staple in the UK, unheard of in some parts of the world.
Step 1: Butter 2 slices of white bread (on one side per slice)
Step 2: empty your chosen bag of crisps (chips to the rest of you) onto the buttered side of one of the bread slices.
Step 3: Place the slice of bread without crisps (chips) buttered side down on top of the crisps (still talking chips) sandwiching them neatly between the two buttered slices of white bread
Step 4: The last vital step, press down on the top of the sandwich firmly until you hear or feel a gentle crunch.
Please enjoy this, and feel free to give it a little pzazz and let me know what you recommend adding to this sandwich. [author2] What flavor would you recommend? [author1] The classic choice is a packet of walkers ready salted. The closest US equivalent it either lays or pringles original flavour. Tbh always go with your favourite flavour for best results. [author2] Thanks for the advice! I'm gonna try it first with the original flavor from lays our pringles. And if it indeed does taste good, I probably have developed a new addition

[author0] Question about first roast with Nostalgia popper from sweet marias [author0] Hi everyone!
This was my first roast with a Nostalgia popper from Sweet Marias using Finca Alaska beans from Costa Rica, and it didn't go quite as I expected it to. I had read and seen that a roast using a popcorn popper lasts at most ten minutes with first crack happening at three or so. However, I watched this eagerly awaiting that sweet sound of first crack for maybe forty minutes. At around twenty, I took the beans on the left out to see if there were just too many beans in the popper, but I still didn't get the rolling cracking sound that everyone talks about. At best, I could hear maybe the faintest of popping sounds but it could have been my imagination as the popper is pretty loud. By the end of the forty minutes, after hearing a few pops and then nothing but seeing that the beans had gotten rather dark brown, I decided to pull it.
I don't know what to make of this. Both of the roast levels look fine to me if only a little darker than what I expected to get. I don't have a thermometer so I couldn't see if the popper was getting hot enough, but could that be the issue? Or could it be that these beans had a quiet first crack? Any and all advice or reassurance would be appreciated. I'll make sure to report back tomorrow on the brew I can get from them.
UPDATE 1
In addition to this being my first roast, I also performed my first cupping today to compare the two samples here. The beans that I pulled out early (left) tasted fine, really reminded me of some decent diner coffee. I think at that point I had acheived a FC to FC+ roast as it covered up the notes that were stated on the package. 20 minutes is still a long time for a Nostalgia popper so there's still definitely issues with heating or heat transfer to the beans.
The beans on the right, which were in there for the full 40 min had what I would call a French Roast +. The coffee that I made with it tasted and had the body of burnt popcorn which wasn't *entirely* unpleasant but I probably won't be brewing another cup with it.
u/MinerJason has suggested that I use more beans in the popper as the fan may be too powerful and blowing all of the hot air right past the beans. u/Payneinmyside informed me that he had a similar issue with the same beans and popper, so I guess I just need to be more attentive to the color changes, which is a fun exercise for a beginner.
Thanks for all the help everyone! This community is great. I'll update y'all again if I have time to do another roast today.
UPDATE 2
Made some moka pot coffee with the beans on the right and it tasted pretty okay after diluting it with water and a little bit of sugar. I'll call it a successful first roast. [author1] I'm just throwing out a few guesses here. One, it may be that the coffee could roast for that long without getting entirely scorched because these poppers have a temperature cut-off point. So it may have lingered around whatever that temperature is for a long time. Second, I have had roasts on my popper where the crack was essentially not audible. I was told that this happens sometimes, especially with natural process beans. Are yours naturals? (edit: another user below reported the same lack of audible crack - I suspect it is the beans - not a problem you just have to roast with different cues). In any case, yeah, my 65g-85g charge (green bean wt) doesn't last nearly that long, I don't think I've ever roasted 8 minutes.

[author0] I hate modern American Christian "Culture" The buzzwords. The bands. The clothes. The social media influencers and formulaic posts. The all emotion and no theology explanations of who God is. After whole heartedly joining in for a few years and being horribly treated by the people who perpetuate it I now hate it. For context I experienced the Bible belt of America's Protestant culture.
Do any of y'all know what I'm talking about?
My faith hasn't changed but I want total separation from that culture now so I think maybe I need a change of denomination. [author1] That's Protestantism for you, though. There is literally no limit to how far-fetched you can go, either in teachings or in style, because there is no orthodoxy in Protestantism. [author0] So do you recommend the orthodox church? Which one? [author2] There are absolutely orthodox Protestant churches, we're just admittedly few and far between these days. [author3] Us Restorationists tend to be more orthodox as well. [author2] There is absolutely nothing LESS orthodox than US "Restorationists." LDS and JWs are about as Christian as Muslims are, but at least Muslims don't claim to be Christian. Orthodoxy absolutely demands the Trinity and the belief that Christ is eternal and uncreated. When you're strayed from that you've strayed off the plot entirely, into damnable heresy. [author3] We may be using the term differently? Little 'o' orthodox vs big-O Orthodox.
I'm thinking of orthodox as internally consistent and strict within a given pattern of belief (like an orthodox jew). I think you're talking about orthodoxy in adherence to Nicene Creed or the Orthodox church? [author2] I mean *Christian* orthodoxy, which was settled in the Creeds by the Church Fathers and which Restorationists by definition reject. Various church bodies/denominations have more or less orthodoxy in doctrine and practice, but the essential points summed up in the Creeds (the Trinity being among them) are the absolute bare minimum for anyone wishing to be a Christian. [author3] It must be frustrating to you to see groups like The Church of Jesus Christ co-opt the term Christian.
I'd obviously disagree on the creeds as a prereq for claiming Christianity. I'd posit Christianity existed for centuries before the creeds. But I also understand and recognize the creeds as the predominant basis for most modern Christian faiths.

[author0] Deaths in Nueces county? I was wondering if anyone knows directly where the information for # of deaths in nueces county is available vs. last year (like this article shows). Also, anyone working in the hospitals can say what's going on?
We all know reports on positive results are underreported, a lot of people who are sick can't get tested.
​
https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/04/27/covid-19-death-toll-undercounted/?arc404=true&fbclid=IwAR0NRj4Vy6v8tbSWG27qpUoxKOLDpZWS1do3mbIfS-0aVENyJOUObH3VP6k [author1] Reports of positive tests are not underreported. Total rates of infection are unknown and probably much higher than we know. That being said, many caught the virus, felt like crap for a few days and then were fine. The overwhelming majority of known infected haven't even required hospitalization, and recovered at home. Currently as of 8:45pm on 4/30/2020 there are only 5 individuals in area hospitals and only one of those is in the ICU. A population of nearly 500,000 people has been ordered to stay home to prevent the further spread of the virus. That's 1-100th of 1 percent of the population currently in the hospital. A total of 2564 people in the area have been tested, and of those that were tested because they demonstrated symptoms, approximately 4% of those tested positive for Covid 19.
Just some perspective. [author2] Allegedly 3 coronavirus deaths attributed to Nueces county but even that data is very questionable. One lady recovered was released from the hospital and died weeks later from her other health conditions. Then there was the nurse who went to Nevada to work got it there and died there but for some reason he was counted as a death for Nueces county. The "3rd" death might be legit as there is nothing out in the public to contradict it [author1] Yeah I forgot about the Nevada case, he didn't even catch it here or die here, just basically had a address in Corpus Christi.

[author0] Was NAT a pump and dump or should I hold until the 15th? I had a bit of fomo when it dipped to 6.26 so I picked up a few, should I just cut my losses? [author1] I was in deep.

I think the hype is dead and the country will do what it has to to make sure an oil crisis is averted..especially with incoming soft reopenings [author2] Averted...? Where have you been [author3] Haha exactly! I love the people who think the oil crisis is "averted ". This is a physical commodity which we have way too much of atm. You can't just snap your fingers and make the extra oil disappear. [author1] The only reason there is extra is because of covid shut downs..with multiple states already having soft reopenings and more gearing up to do the same - the “extra” oil will quickly disappear.
There’s still an oil war going on in terms of oil price..but this sweet spot the tanker stocks were enjoying I think has passed. Unless you think we’re headed back into extreme quarantine lockdown [author3] I don't think we will go back into a full lock down, but I think people will be reluctant to fly, go on cruises, or drive as much as they were for some time. While the overabundance of oil might be eased slightly, its not just going to disappear. I think tanker rates will be good for some months yet, and earnings will be very good for the next couple of quarters. This is just my two cents, and I'm no expert.

[author0] AITA for potentially forcing my friends to accommodate me? Didn't know what to title this situation but I felt that was maybe the closest to how I feel. I'll start by saying I have a thing called Misophonia, it's essentially just I hate certain sounds and they cause a feeling of anger. If Misophonia had levels of how bad it can be I would definitely have it on the worse end for certain sounds, especially if they're repeating causes actually pain in my head. My whole life most people took it as a joke and would go out of their way to make the noises I dislike.
So the situation happened last night while I was with my mom and she was eating dessert. She was slurping her ice cream and at some point it became to much so I excused myself (which is what I do when I get overwhelmed). Before I could leave she asked "Is it because I'm making noise?" to which I replied yes because she knows about this. She then proceeded to tell me that I really need to get over this noise thing and no one is going to accomadate to me, to just block it out. I told her that my closest friends do their best to not make these sounds around me and that's when it all went downhill. She proceeded to tear me a new one on how dare I force my friends to not make normal noises that humans make.
I never thought of it this way, I love my friends and I know they love me, and they never once questioned me about this. They know I have it bad, and years ago went out of their ways to know which sounds and do their best to not make it. I don't say anything if they cough or make any sounds I hate because we're all human, just that they're more aware and will go grab a tissue if they have a runny nose or drink water if they have to clear their throat.
Since my mom told me that I'm forcing them it's been eating away at me really bad, and I'm understanding her view and really feel like a asshole. Since in a way I AM forcing them when they're around me because they know it bothers me. I'm afraid to ask them even though they're my best friends because it would devastate me if they said they hate having to accomadate me.
I feel like the biggest asshole for never asking my friends about this year's ago if they're okay with it or not. What are your guy's opinions, I plan to talk to my friends about this when I get the guts to but no matter their answer I know my mom will still keep yelling at me that I'm a horrible friend for forcing people to not make normal noise around me. So AITA? Also sorry this is my first post ever and don't know if I did it correctly. [author1] NTA! Ever had that phrase, "wherever you are is where I want to be?" This reminds me of that. Your friends seem lovely. They are making space for you in their lives. You are deserving of people who do that - everyone is. Your mom is being an asshole. [author0] First time hearing that phrase but I like it! And yes I agree they are all wondering people

[author0] Obsidian doesn’t deserve to be past Damascus. It only takes 20.25 days to get Obsidian on all the guns (Not including DLC) but it takes 29.25 days to get Damascus. I also don’t think Obsidian looks good or is worth it anyways. The way IW could fix this is if they make it so you need to have Damascus to get Obsidian but if they do that the other problem would be that Obsidian dosen’t even look good, but with the amount of problems this games has I don’t think this is at the top of IW’s list. [author1] I think your time is off, some people can get if faster and others can get it slower. Especially for some of us that avg 28 kills a game. Some people don’t average that and takes even longer. [author2] I average 18 kills a game and im already at 80/100, only played for 5 hours though.

[author0] My grandma’s story I'm not from an English-speaking country, sorry if I make mistakes.
This story happened to my grandma and me when I was like 5 years old. My mom, sister, grandma and I used to sleep in the same bedroom, but not in the same bed. To clarify, I can’t remember this story (I was too young to remember anything) and my grandma told it to me like two years ago. We were sleeping when suddenly I woke up my grandma because I was scared for going to pee alone, so, she went with me. The exit of the bedroom led to a aisle and right next to the aisle was the garden. While we walk through the aisle I ask her “who’s that old man in the corner of the garden?” (It was an interior garden) She saw toward the corner and she didn’t see anything. When we were going back to the bedroom, joking grandma said “where’s the old man now?” And I answer her “behind you” she felt someone’s hand touching her shoulder and she looked at her back, nobody was there. She was totally scared and we came back to the bedroom.
I wish I could remember. [author1] Well, first, your English is better than most native speakers :)
Second, scary story! If you remember more or someone can fill in blanks, tell it again! [author0] Thank you, I’ll do it.

[author0] Last exam before completing studies I have my last exam in 2 weeks before being completely done with university (the exam will taken remotely).
I’m scared of the prospect of being so weirded out or excited or anxious to mess up that I won’t be able to focus and fail it or something)
Has anyone experienced this feeling before? What can I do to combat it? [author1] I finished my final coursework this week and will be "graduating" tomorrow. That being said, our finals were all online and three of them had 2 hour time limits. I used all 2 hours on two of them because like you, I was thinking too much before the exams started. I only need one more final graded before I get all of my grades calculated for all of my scores. Of the 2 exams I did with the 2 hour time limit, I did quite well and in the end I was anxious and nervous for nothing. During the test I took some breaks, stretched, got out in the sun for a minute or two and just tried to focus as best as I could. I'm sure you're going to do fine. Congrats on completing your studies and best of luck on your exam. [author0] So the worst case scenario for me sort of happened for you and it ended up working out? When the nerves and anxiety came up for you it didn’t stop you from doing it? What did you do to calm yourself down?

[author0] Weapon value? What kind of rarity would you give this item?
+1 warhammer
1d4+1 charges a day (recharge at dawn)
Expend a charge to do an additional 1d8 lightning damage.
Expend a charge to gain a flight speed of 25 ft. for 10 minutes.
Just trying to quickly work it out for player. [author1] Lighting *or* flight would I'd put at uncommon to rare. Both at once- very rare. [author0] Any items similar i could compare to? [author1] https://www.5esrd.com/gamemastering/magic-items/#magic-items-by-rarity
+1 weapons are uncommon.
Weapons with additional effects (Flametongue, Sword of life stealing, etc) are generally rare.
Wings of flying are also rare, while a Broom of flying is uncommon.
Since you're combining two effects, that would bump it up to the next category, IMO.

[author0] What are some of the best songs from a Bl’s OST you’ve heard? [author1] I really love all the Scrubb songs they play in 2gether! I like how they incorporate it into the background as well as making the music/band important to the plot/romance as well.
Also really love Fake Protagonist from Getsunova that plays in Theory of Love. I like the intro to Theory of Love as well, it's like a little instrumental 2-minute song and it's lovely! Makes me so excited for the episode.
I have a soft spot for that song they play in TharnType... especially when it's sung by the second dude who sings it?? (i.e. not the villain best friend, but the brother of Tharn's ex-boyfriend... hope that makes sense haha!)
Also shout out to the Wuji song from The Untamed, it's so pretty!
A bit off topic but I really CANNOT deal with the intro to Dark Blue Kiss hahaha. It is so overdramatic! I kept having to skip it because it was ruining my mood. [author0] Bruh me too, the opening for dark blue kiss was such a cringe moment for a bl that was kind of not known for being that serious (kdrama vibes but I do love the song they used lol. That violin hit hard.
I enjoyed fake protagonist and scrubb too, i honestly think i’ve been listening to scrubb ever since 2gether came out-
Ever since the tralier for a tale of a thousand stars came out, I’ve been playing their song non-stop as well. It gets me so excited for the up coming series!
Edit; mispelling [author1] The Dark Blue Kiss intro will always be hilarious to me. When they all come out of the curtains very dramatically... and those notes that are like 'Love' and 'Lies' hahaha! I feel like it's very much the kind of intro that if you were to show someone who was used to watching Western shows and who'd never seen a Thai show before, they'd be like 'what the heck is this?!' I kinda live for it, and also hate it, in equal measure. [author2] Coming from the Philippines, we're used to those kind of intros so I equally loved it and hated it as well lol [author1] If a British show had that opening, I'd turn it off hahaha! Weird how my expectations for shows differs hugely depending on the culture. There's a lot of things in Asian drama that I wouldn't put up with if it was an American or British show I was watching and I have no idea why.
I think things can feel less cringey to me if it's not in my native language. I remember reading a post on tumblr ages ago about how people who speak English as a second language prefer to read their fanfics in English because reading it in their native tongue is way too cringey... feels like the same energy!

[author0] TIL Lin-Manuel Miranda’s High-School Bully Was Rapper Immortal Technique [author1] I’ve never heard of Immortal Technique but I’m sure whatever he’s produced has been orders of magnitude than the abortion that is “Hamilton.”
Yeah I said it. The set sucks. The costumes are ok. King George is the best character in the production. The music is bad and the lyrics are worse, and the story is a contrived version of history trying to make a point. It got rave reviews because people paid a king’s ransom to see the damn thing and couldn’t bring themselves to admit that it was actually pretty bad. I paid that king’s ransom myself, and virtually every Broadway play I’ve seen has been better with the exception of Tarzan and Starlight Express, both of which were 1/5 the cost. [author2] But how does it compare to Spider-Man: Turn off the dark? [author1] Shit I actually saw that twice. And it was really bad...I should have thrown that in the list with Tarzan and Starlight Express.
The reason I saw it twice is because during the first viewing, Green Goblin and Spider-Man got tangled up in their big fight scene on the ceiling of the theatre. They just started dangling like marionettes and the house crew evacuated the theatre. I was leading a tour group so I demanded rain checks, refunded their money, then sold the new tickets to the following year’s group. It closed a month or so after that. It was just as bad the second time but with less interesting things to talk about since there were no technical difficulties. [author2] Sir, you witnessed history. That Spider-Man play will always be know the play where “Spider-Man fell off” lol [author1] Heck they had so many problems from what I recall that a lot of people probably saw all kinds of craziness.

[author0] I don’t like my dad at all, I think I don’t even love him He’s usually just quiet and normal but when he’s annoyed or angry at me he gets so... idk what to call it. It’s like he’s gonna burst with rage.
He threatens me, grabs my arm so hard it hurts a lot and he swings me in every direction like I’m a doll. When he’s angry he also shouts things that make me want to kms. He scream-asks me stuff like “do you even know what you’re doing to your mom?” when I don’t apologize to her for being annoying. Even my mom looked super uncomfortable and like she was about to cry when he said that. I’m terrified of him when he’s angry and every time he even raises his voice I want to cry
When he’s not angry I’m always so on edge it makes me tired. He constantly mocks me for every single thing I do and he seems to think of me as incompetent and childish. I’m just never comfortable with him.
When I hear his car turn in the driveway I just get this horribly depressed feeling. You know the feeling when your alarm goes off in the morning? Like that but worse. I feel completely helpless and hopeless and depressed for a minute. I hate it when he comes home from work.
I just had to get this off my chest.
Thanks for reading this if you did [author1] OP, I don’t mean to jump to conclusions, but I think your father may be abusive. I had a mother who acted just like this, key word *had*. I don’t live with her anymore, CPS took me away to live with my father, who is much kinder. Is there a trusted adult you can tell? I know it may seem like no one will care, but I guarantee you that once you tell the right adult, you can get help. A family member, teacher, school counselor maybe?
I may sound like I’m a crazy person, but I think you should seriously consider telling someone and reaching out for help. Life will be tremendously better for you. Take it from an abused kid. I used to think I deserved everything my mom would do and say to me. It wasn’t until I got out of there that I realized how cruel she was. Please reach out to a trusted adult for help. [author2] Think? Yeah, he is quite abusive.

[author0] [PLEASE HELP] Best doll for pure quality / looks don't matter Hello,
​
1st time poster and never had a sex doll so please take it easy on me here. haha. I am looking for a doll and my price range is anything below $600. I am aware some seasoned sex doll owners just chuckled as I have seen some dolls go for $5000+.
​
***BUT***..since I will be using a VR headset to "play with the doll" I honestly don't need anything fancy or the doll to have a realistic/pretty face. I ultimately want the best "feel" inside and out...so was thinking TPE full body with arms/legs/head...but I don't care about skin color or any other features since I won't "see" the doll while playing with it.
​
Does ANYONE have a product they can recommend for this? Don't get me wrong...if the doll looks pretty that's great...but not needed and if it cuts the price down great. :)
​
For my type...I prefer petite girls around 5ft with a long haired wig would be perfect and bigger breasts are great but more like C or D cup than anything bigger.
​
Thanks for ANY suggestions. [author1] Kimber doll is probably your best option at that price point if you want a legitimate "pure" but mid quality doll. [https://kimberdoll.com/](https://kimberdoll.com/)
If you aren't into that doll you can venture into the land of sketchy-ness known as aliexpress but be warned 99.99% of the dolls sold on there are counterfeit and I would recommend reading the post below before considering it and reading about aliexpress on here [https://www.sexdollsreviews.review/](https://www.sexdollsreviews.review/) (Tom, the website owner, is on here as well and is very helpful)
[https://www.reddit.com/r/SexDolls/comments/g7ikfg/for\_those\_that\_are\_broke\_like\_me\_how\_i\_got\_a\_sex/](https://www.reddit.com/r/SexDolls/comments/g7ikfg/for_those_that_are_broke_like_me_how_i_got_a_sex/)
It would also be good for you to research all the other counterfeit sex doll sites out there before spending your money. A LOT of sellers will sell you counterfeits. There are more counterfeit sites then legitimate ones. Some are even on these forums. [author2] Good info you give there! The latest Doll House 168 is also not bad at all for $499. The only problem (to me) is that the breasts are not hollow:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/SexDolls/comments/g9mnjm/here\_is\_the\_doll\_house\_168\_80cm\_nao\_it\_is\_the\_elf/](https://www.reddit.com/r/SexDolls/comments/g9mnjm/here_is_the_doll_house_168_80cm_nao_it_is_the_elf/) [author3] That doll is only 80 cm tall. It'll be weird using VR with a 80cm doll. [author4] 80 cm is 31.5 inches

[author0] Metroid Zero Mission: trapped--- I believe I found a trap area in Zero mission, when I got to kraid first thing I did was go right to grab items and I think they didnt design a fail safe to get out if you go here too early, does anyone know if I can get out of here without quitting? [author1] You aren't trapped, this is where you are supposed to be. Working from memory here, but you see that 1x3 room with three entrances on the right? Pretty sure you need to get into the middle entrance, so mess around in that room to figure out how. [author0] Thank you dude, had to do bomb jumping into a narrow corridor the problem was I thought I couldn't because there was one of those bomb jump things at the bottom so I had to time the bombs right so it wouldn't shoot me up all the way, crazy

[author0] Half baked and rushed Split screen crashes constantly, there are typos for Moze’s skill tree, and the dialogue is so cringe. What the heck. Extremely shitty they can sell this as a finished product. Nowadays they just put out half finished game and release “hot fixes” to complete what they should have before launch. The fact that there is an obvious typo in Moze’s skill tree that was noticed by someone who just got the game earlier today shows that they didn’t actually take a hard look at the game before releasing it. [author1] Whatever you do, don’t go reading posts from last September... [author0] Pretty pathetic they haven’t fixed it yet though honestly. Fanboys downvote away

[author0] My DD on VISL VISL, they are a company known for their array of well produced products in the wireless Telecom industry. They have work with a vast majority of companies and the military as well.
*One of their more recent & great news that has gone under the radar is the immediate recruitment of Jim McGowan as their Vice President & Manager of VISL MiliGov division. This man has decades of experience dealing with military contracts and before joining VISL he was the vice president of FLIR systems, a company that has a $5 Billion dollar market cap. The recruitment of Jim McGowan is going to prove to be very smart business with all the clients he will bring to VISL.
[DD on his recruitmentt](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/03/23/2005120/0/en/Vislink-Technologies-Appoints-Jim-McGowan-as-Vice-President-and-General-Manager-of-its-MilGov-Business-Unit.html)
*Their recent contract bids that have been accepted. Sure, you can go ahead and say it is a relatively small contract considering the industry they are in, but look at who they are contracted with. It's a small sheriff's department & guess who got them the contract in the first place? **Jim McGowan**. This shows that despite the COVID-19 outbreak, this company is still putting in solid work & after they complete this project, with the help of **Jim McGowan**, they will continue getting government and military contracts. He just barely joined at the end of March and won them this government contract.
[DD on this contract](https://www.vislink.com/vislink-technologies-wins-a-99285-00-project-to-replace-existing-infrastructure-to-our-new-ciras-6-way-all-integrated-receiver-and-antenna-system-for-sheriffs-department/)
*Their most recent bid was accepted, thus beating out all the other competitors. As many of you may have heard, VISL was chosen as the company to provide live high definition & uninterrupted video board systems for the Ferrari race series. This is a prestigious contract, this shows that they are clearly capable of making solid supplies in order to even accomplish this. This shows that if the event coordinators believe in their technology, we should too. This contract will certainly turn heads when it comes to bidding on more contracts in the future and it goes to show that this company can work in any industry such as sporting events to military contracts.
[DD on theor most recent contracts contract](https://www.vislink.com/vislink-chosen-to-provide-high-definition-live-on-board-video-systems-for-the-prestigious-european-ferrari-challenge-race-series/)
*Alongside their most recent contracts, if you look their recent history YTD, they are all over the world winning government contract bids & making a name for themselves. With most companies reporting loss in profits, VISL is working hard & continuously beat their competitors due to the quality of their technology.
They will certainly delivery on their next stockholders meeting. This meeting will be on [May 8th](https://www.vislink.com/vislink-technologies-inc-to-hold-remote-annual-meeting-of-stockholders-on-new-date/)
*SEC filings: on 4/23/2020 VISL filed an 8K form, it only be bad if they were going bankrupt, but they are not. This form is directly correlated to DEFA14A they filed on 4/21/2020 which is the shareholders meeting that will take place next Friday, May 8th. This goes to show that they are planning to let the shareholders know some big news, possibly the amount the contract they signed with the coordinators of the Ferrari event or a new contract they are keeping a lid on. Either way, the 8K filing should be good news next Friday. [8K](https://secfilings.nasdaq.com/filingFrameset.asp?FilingID=14090499&RcvdDate=4/23/2020&CoName=VISLINK%20TECHNOLOGIES,%20INC.&FormType=8-K&View=html)
*In the past two weeks on their company website, they share news of their current contract acquisitions & each time they released something positive, their value flew up (albeit a small change) but still, it's a positive change. [Correlation](https://pasteboard.co/J6gfJAu5.png)
*They currently have a Target price set at $1 and with analysts holding a forecast of a high of $10. I don't believe it will reach $10 on the next 12months, but I strongly believe it will reach a dollar soon and be over a dollar by the end of the year.
At the end of the day, it's a relatively cheap stock, it's trading at 34 cents. You can buy 100 shares right now for 34 dollars right now. I personally bought 200 shares. Because if I'm worng, this will drop back down give or take .25 cents which is where I bought my 200 shares. But if I'm right, then I'll make solid profit. Because it's cheap, I'm okay with purchasing 200 shares.
Anyy, that's my take on VISL. I personally think it's a strong buy & if tomorrow there's a dip, I'll buy more.
Take care & as always, if you have doubts always do some DD on your own to make sure you're okay with purchasing whatever stock you decide to buy. Gg fellas :) [author1] In at .17 for 10k Shares. Wish I would have bought more. [author2] Bout to hit .17 after Friday. [author3] Why is that

[author0] Help me find a place where I can purchase this exact lamb teddy. The tag at the back is very worn out, it says “sehffer” I think. [author0] More info: I have had this since 2004, so it’s old. The tag on the back actually says “sehaffer” (I forgot the a )
That’s it. Ask me for more info and I’ll try to help. [author1] I think the tag more likely says Schaffer or schäffer because it looks quite German to me. Schaf is also the german word for sheep so that would make sense. Source: Am german. :)
Hope this helps!

[author0] I couldn’t get a switch, so I cleaned up my old N64 again. I’m ready to play. [author1] Seriously where the hell are all the switches?! [author2] Plenty of Switch Lites in stock often on Walmart's site and Gamestop's site and more recently Amazon started getting them in stock again. Regular Switches are still as rare as a unicorn though. [author3] What is the difference between the Switch Lite and the Switch? Sorry I know I could just google this but last time I did I was a bit confused. [author2] The Switch Lite doesn't dock/connect to a TV and has built in controls(no detachable joycon controllers). So it plays all games in handheld mode. I got one to replace my 3DS as a main portable gaming system, so I don't need to connect to a TV. It's also 100 dollars cheaper.($199 instead of $299) [author3] Thanks! I was interested in a switch as a handheld device anyway, so I’m pretty tempted now. [author2] Walmart currently has the yellow and turquoise in stock. [Use this site to check stock/compare prices](https://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/nintendoswitchlite/) and never pay over $199.99 for one. Well, unless you like one of the bundles GameStop has, since they typically bundle it with a good game(Mario kart, Smash bros, etc). I picked yellow because it looks the coolest in my opinion.

The piece that feeds gas into the tank was replaced six months ago. Any advice? [author1] When the air in the tank is displaced by gasoline, it runs through the canister vent valve and then charcoal canister. Your canister vent valve could be blocked up.

And unfortunately because of this, Emelia get lesser screen time which is a real shame. [author1] Joining Emelia in that regard is Reynold, but he's just too famous and awesome not to be shown.

[author0] IRS: Companies who receive Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans will not qualify for tax deductions [author1] I am not sure I see the issue? A 50,000 forgiven loan that is taxable income, but if used for payroll, would mean a 50,000 credit from the payment so it would mean 0 in actual taxes. I usually pay an accountant for this, so maybe I am missing something? [author2] Right, the people making a big deal out of this don't understand taxes. They are making the forgiven loan tax free, therefore you can't deduct expenses paid for with that money because you never paid taxes on it in the first place. [author3] I think it's more that people don't read the article and the title makes it sound like they won't be eligible for any tax deductions. Which is the furthest thing from the point of the article.

[author1] I've read the books many times over, and it gets me each time I read/watch the trilogy. Controversial opinion, but I really don't like the Hobbit much compared to the Lord Of The Rings [author0] I agree. The Hobbit seems to lack a certain amount of depth but I still think it is worth the read for the understanding of Tolkien’s world, especially for the trilogy. I recently got the Tom Bombadil book and am very excited to read it.

[author0] Zofia LMG? This may be a no brainier to some but I've only recently started playing and been working on my aim so I'm playing a lot of T-Hunt. I'm experimenting with a bunch of operators and Zofia has to be my favorite attacker so far. Is her LMG viable most times? I pretty much always see people using AR's more than LMG's on the attackers that do have them. If it is what attachments should I be using? I currently use Reflex sight, Vertical grip and compensator. [author1] In Varsity’s most recent vid he’s actually using her LMG haha.
It’s probably the 2nd best LMG, behind IQ’s G8A1. Obviously has the downside of slower ADS, but it’s definitely viable. Zofia is a top 5 op as well. [author2] Yeah, imagine that gun with angled grip.

[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!)**

2. Wood (some)

[author0] Back on the Wheel with NS2003 After 15 Slow Years Super excited that NS2003 is still around. Talk about standing the test of time. I stopped playing when the open online server went quiet back in the day. But last week found an old wheel and TheBenCrazy's youtube about downloading the game for free. Got it going and couldn't be happier...
Well, I wish there was some low key online racing available. But looking down this sub I see that there isn't any open online racing anymore. Bummer. Is there something between racing offline and league racing? I really enjoyed the pickup/non-scheduled short format races back in the day.
Any ideas how I can find 10-30 minute online races for low timers? [author1] www.openspeedway.net [author0] Thanks Buttamilk,
I dled RLM Arena and found a few races. Most required a password, but some were open. I ran a few laps in practice and was off the pace, so bailed before racing. But am encouraged! [author2] Hello, I dload the app but I have got an error message after start. I have run it on Win10-64Bit. Are some of the servers are still up and running?

[author0] That was an emotional roller-coaster! The choice with Iris’s rose and also saying goodbye to Shani was really tugging on my heartstrings. This is my 2-3rd play through of the game, but damn it still was still emotional. How did you guys feel about HoS ending? What did you guys choose, regarding the rose? [author1] I took the rose only because I wanted to fulfill Olgeirds third wish... then you realize that Iris wanted to move on the whole time and taking the rose from her is actually fulfilling two wishes instead of one! [author0] I didn’t think about that she wanted to leave the whole time. I toke the Rose too, because she shouldn’t be trapped, waiting for a person and not being a individual, but a ghost of a couple

Welp, guess I'll stick to mods instead of bothering to craft this. [author0] Man, you are lucky for playing on PC. I mean, kinda, since you had to wait a little bit more to play Iceborne, unfortunately

[author0] Holy hell - when did this sub turn into the worst place to be in the world? I don't think I've ever observed as much toxicity in a game sub reddit ever before.
One day Neil is the greatest game designer ever. The next he and all his kin need to die horrible deaths.
Holy hell, it's just a game. [author1] gtfo with this normie trend where you have to be nice and not be critic of anything otherwise face cancel culture
I think the game is shit and apparently others think it as well , dont agree with it? fine you are free to do so
but dont you ever tell me what to do or how to think about my preferences [author0] One can be critical without being an asshole. What I'm mostly seeing on this sub is both.
Like seriously, why cast such vitriol against a person? Like he's somehow trying to do you wrong out of spite or something? Suppose the game is as bad as you fear. It's still just a game.
You're angry about the game? Totally fine. You totally have right to your own opinion.
But it's not reasonable to think that the act of making what you fear is a bad game is sufficient grounds for the kind of hate I am reading on this sub.
Like seriously, grow the f up. [author2] No. Fuck Neil Druckmann. Fuck Naughty Dog and their SJW agenda. Fuck that tranny. Fuck everything in this game. They killed my boy Joel, I'm not buying it.
This sub is ridiculous lmao. [author0] Suit yourself. But when you bitch like this about a game, it makes you look like a child. [author2] I was being sarcastic. Fuck this entire subreddit [author0] sincere apologies for not picking up on that [author2] No worries lol

[author0] Bianca not moving in???? Hi yeah so for the past few days ive been trying to get Bianca to move in using her amiibo card. And today i tried to move her in, but instead of offering to ask someone to move out, she just says something about a houseboat and then fucks off??? And i timeskiped like 5 times just to see if i had to wait a little bit or something but she still says the stuff about the houseboat! Is the asking someone to move out personality locked? Ive been trying for like 2 hours at this point and getting a little tired of the floating house bit
i just need some help please [author1] Have you invited her three times and crafted for her? [author0] Yeah, and every time that i go talk to her i just have to speak to her a few times before she's like 'hey i wanna move in'
i already did her tasks so all she has to do is move in-
but the issue is that shes not doing the 'i could convince someone else to move out' thing so like

>Idea made from a bastardised accent amalgrimated from Eastern European and French and too much Jack Daniels starts to form.
>Wait till I'm home the next day, start putting on the film again in private after stocking up on booze and clearing my schedule.

>Send it to a friend, takes them a couple reads to process without laughing but eventually they sift through, and are surprised by the amount of effort I put into this.
>Tell my friends it's done, and I warn them it's a comedy but has a serious story behind it.

>One notices the picture is Chris-R. PMs me asking if its intentional.

>"Oh hai Kindred. Welcome to my city of San Francisco."
>My players were dying with laughter as they realised the levels of parody I had gone to.
Long story short, because I don't wanna give out the whole game unless there's genuine interest in the full story.
>Game revolves around getting hard evidence that the Toreador Primogen, Lisa Danielle, was working with the Sabbat to take the city with her as the Archbishop of San Francisco, and figuring out a way to present the evidence without the prince killing the coterie in a frenzy and likely inciting an open riot against his reign (with alt paths if the players just wanted to run or throw their lot in with the sabbat) or if not, surviving long enough to not get ambushed and wiped out.
>Actually a resounding success, the players loved it.
>Ask if they want me to run again.
>They're down for an actual long running game.
And that's the story of how I became the GM for my V:tM group.
Edit: added the banner image that one player made for the game after session 1. [author0] I know this isnt dnd exactly, if its breaking a rule I understand. [author1] No it’s awesome. It’s perfect. Will you publish? [author0] I'd be happy to publish the entire play of the game, seems like theres at least a bit of interest in it. I actually have the entire plan still. Might throw it up for people if they want it. [author2] Don't worry mate, in the very description of the reddit, it states "For stories of D&D and **other roleplaying games**"
You're fine lad, wonderful fuckin' story.

[author0] If a colony of white people settled down in Africa, and all the decendents stayed in Africa for thousands of years and only mated from within the colony, would the decendents eventually become dark-skinned? If yes, how many generations might it take? [author1] It's theoretically possible, but only if A) someone had a random mutation that made their skin darker and B) the colony didn't have technology making it so that they could easily survive in Africa with light skin, so that the darker skinned guy's kids are more likely to survive and have more kids. [author2] Just to add/clarify by not having tech to survive with light skin. They mean there has to be a selective pressure that favors dark skin. Like if we killed off the lightest 10% every year before they had kids then the group would have darker skin after a "few" generations.
This isnt natural selection though just regular selection or breeding for a desired outcome like wolves into dogs.
For natural selection it would take far longer and it would require that lighter skinned people died before having kids or that darker skinned people were more productive/desirable and thus had more kids or were better able to care for the kids they had when compared to the light skinned people.
With a global civilization i dont think we will see much natural selection going on. Maybe in china were there are so few women only those who are extremely successful will have kids and their kids might inherit some trait that helps to become successful or attract the attention of the ladies, like good looks or something.

[author0] "Axe Cop" the game is a retro styled RPG coming on Steam Nov 2020 *EDIT: #ad just in case, but I'm not involved with them at all. I'm just a huge fan of the series.*
So I'm searching around today and I come on to frankly, some old news on the almost completely inactive subreddit of /r/axecop. (Remember, the comic from the early 2010s that was made by a five-year-old and drawn by somebody in their twenties?)
I recently discovered the TV show existed and I marathoned through both seasons. I think they're comedy gold and I wish the show never stopped.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1193300/Axe_Cop/
If anybody is a fan of the series, they definitely want to root for this game.
There's a demo out supposedly, I'm going to play it tonight :) [author1] Literally never heard of anything related to axe cop. Also you forgot to write #ad. [author0] I'm just a fan of the series. I made sure to follow the rules in the sidebar, too. I didn't see anything about a #ad tag? I'm happy to hear to conflicting information though.

[author0] Final Fantasy VII: Words Drowned by Fireworks (Guitar Cover) [author0] Although I haven't had much time for creativity during this quarantine due to an overwhelming amount of stress from college, I've been spending some of it transcribing music from Final Fantasy 7. 💚 This is a tapping arrangement of the song "Words Drowned by Fireworks" that plays during the date scenes towards the end of the first disc. In a few days I'll have a looping pedal so I can perform the whole piece and create a more professional looking performance. [author1] Looking forward to it. I’m in a similar boat as you and am wondering which pedal you ordered.
Edit: I forgot to say: “great cover!” [author0] Thank you so much! I ordered a TC Electronic Ditto Looper pedal. I've seen it on boards from some of my favorite artists and I'm excited to try it out. My dream is to compose music for video games and transcribing these pieces has taught me so much.

[author0] Achievement Unlocked: Best Friend Acquired [author1] Hmmm
"Best Friend"
Me: *Doubts* "Is that a friend fight?" [author0] Totally random in ranked.
We both friend requested at the same time when it was over though [author1] Cool cool, I have a nature to doubt people with such circumstances. Did you record it by chance? [author0] I can... show you [this](https://imgur.com/2WN0UHM) ?
Not really sure why I would, though [author1] Uh...Giving up doesn't count?:p [author0] You... have to be fucking with me, right?
You think I masterminded it that much, just for a dozen thumbs up, on my first post in a community? It was a cute coincidence. If it was a friend fight, wouldn’t I have finished it to get the free pack? [author1] Yes. This is something that one can mastermind entirely.
You know... Most people wouldn't be mad if I point this out and be like. "Well, I guess I can't prove to you that this is really a coincidence. You'll have to trust me yourself".
But you acting out in anger actually propels me to feel that you actually masterminded this all:O
Don't feel bad. Masterminding this is quite good in its own way. [author0] Who said I was angry? Just shocked you’re that obsessed with this. And your paragraphs on such a harmless post propels me to think you’re a troll.
You can tell by the other replies that Yubel is a pretty well known character. Shit like that happens. It’s the name I always use on mobile games, and I was just excited that someone else used the same tag [author1] Oh, so the dislikes and curses are common words you use?
Ah...
I have no way to refute that I'm a troll since your point of view is being affected by emotions. I'm only stating the obvious. And whatever I say will be refuted by you anyways.
As a wise person once told me "Reply after you've calmed down" [author1] Oh yeah, actually the same wise person once told me to "Never continue a drama, it only wastes one's tkme."
So I'll just leave now. And I won't reply any further. So don't spam me. Kay?

[author0] Agent insisting on Rent increase Hey Melbourne,
​
Just want to check if anyone has experienced this situation in this trying times. Our agent sent us a notice last March regarding rent increase. Our lease is due this coming month.
​
We requested to have the rent increase declined with the new legislation saying that there will be no rent increase starting March 29, up to 6 months. But he told us that since the notice was sent before March 29, the rent increase is still valid.
​
I had a discussion with Consumer Affairs Victoria and they agreed that with the new legislation, it is not correct to have a rent increase in our situation. I have told our agent what Consumer Affairs Victoria told me and is still insisting that the rent increase is valid, again pointing out that the rent increase notice was sent before the 29th of March.
​
I'm now waiting for Consumer Affairs Victoria again to raise this. Are the any other organisation I can conctact to resolve this matter? [author1] Time to find a cheaper place [author2] Except that tenants also cannot give notice to vacate right now. [author3] Yes he can. If the landlord wants to up the rent then presumably their initial fixed term rent period has lapsed. They're now able to give 28 days notice. [author2] COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) Bill 2020
S. 545 When a tenant can give notice of intention to vacate—tenancy agreements
(1) A tenant must not give a landlord a notice of intention to vacate rented premises under Subdivision 3 of Division 1 of Part 6 unless—
(a) the tenant requires special or personal care and needs to vacate the rented premises in order to obtain that care; or
(b) the tenant has received a written offer of public housing from the Director of Housing; or
(c) the tenant requires temporary crisis accommodation and needs to vacate the rented premises in order to obtain that accommodation; or
(d) the tenant, who is an SDA resident, has been given a notice under section 498DA; or
(e) tenant is suffering severe hardship. [author3] You skipped the subsequent parts:
(2) A tenant referred to in subsection (1)(a), (b), (c) or (e) may give a landlord a notice of intention to vacate rented premises under a fixed term tenancy agreement specifying a termination date that is on or after the end of the term of the tenancy agreement if the period between the date on which the notice is given and the termination date is not less than 14 days.
(3) A tenant referred to in subsection (1)(a), (b), (c) or (e) may give a landlord a notice of intention to vacate rented premises under a periodic tenancy specifying a termination date that is not less than 14 days after the date on which the notice is given.
(4) A tenant referred to in subsection (1)(d) may give a landlord who is, or was, an SDA provider, a notice of intention to vacate a premises that is, or was, an SDA enrolled dwelling, specifying a termination date that is not less than 14 days after the date on which the notice is given.
So in this case either sub-section (2) or (3) applies [author2] Yes, if the tenant can meet those a, b, c or e criteria.
Source: I'm currently going through this rubbish after buying a house and my current landlord/property manager not wanting us to leave and using this bill to support that. [author3] Oh yes if you're still in a fixed term rental, you're SoL. OP has their lease run out next week so they'll be ok. Hopefully in your situation you only have a couple months left anyway so you won't notice the difference that much compared to the size of your mortgage over the next 30!
It's balanced both ways though. I've got a little place that I've been renting out for the past ten years since moving, and my tenant has lost their job and is struggling to make rent but I couldn't kick them out for getting behind now even if I wanted to, which I wouldn't, because that would be a dick move. But given that the rental market has just collapsed, I'd rather reduce their rent and keep them in instead of having the place empty for 6 months.

[author0] Stan Smith EF4001 Review - Is It the Top Tier?! I was not thinking straight when I wrote this, third tier equals top tier. Sorry!
This is a review of the Stan Smith Recon Off White EF4001 that was on sale last week. This review should probably be on MFA but there were so many people asking about the differences in the comments so I might as well type this.
[Album](https://imgur.com/a/B1pLv52)
I originally had the a pair of Greats in their fall 2018 "Birch" colorway (essentially off white) in a size 7 but after trying to break in for a year, I could never get it to comfortably fit on long walks so I gave it to my friend. If only Greats had a 7.5 since a size 8 or 9 were huge on my foot. So when I saw this shoe on sale I had to get it since I have never owned a pair of Stan Smiths before and also I wanted a cheaper daily white or whitish shoe for this summer.
**THE SHOE**
The shoe leather is definitely different from the Stan Smiths I have handled before because they were probably the tier 1s with a rather plastic shiny upper. Leather is soft and had a very faint leather smell instead of plastic. The inside was lined with leather which is great but I will still wear socks with them. They are thin and I bet will discolor after a few months anyway. Outsole is no different from any other Stans. Insole is very comfortable, more substantial compared to the other tiers but still rather thin as well so I plan to probably switch out to third party insoles. I live in NYC and when the COVID lockdown is eased, these will be my day to day walking shoes. This being a recon had the suede heel tab and that funny looking tag at the tongue. Oh yeah the tongue is so effing long, was not expecting that haha.
A minor defect would be that there is some glue residue near the toe and in my album you'll see probably someone in the factory accidentally almost stamped another vent hole. If i had paid full price for this I would have asked for an exchange but for 65 dollars.. its not a big deal. 14K steps a day in NYC really eats away any shoe and non of my mainstream sneakers like Vans lasts for more than 8 months.
**FIT**
I won't talk much about fit since most people would probably have had a pair once in their lifetime. But I ordered a size 9 because oddly I fit in a 9 for all my athletic shoes, despite being a 8.5 on a Brannock device and 8 in most dress shoes. Fit was perfect in my opinion. For reference to other minimalist sneakers I wear an 8 for KOIOs and 41 when I sized for CPs (feel free to ask me why I bought one but not the other). I found measuring your foot midday with socks on gives me the best idea of which size I should get.
**LOOKS**
I really enjoy the shape actually. It is slimmer than my Greats were but not as much as my KOIOs. It is definitely more casual looking but without the sort of "I am willing pay 300 dollars for a flannel GQ recommends" vibe CP and KOIOs can give off. It's just something I can throw on with anything. Tried it on with a pair of chinos and I can see this show going with me everywhere. People with a keen eye will recognize it and that is fine. I like to dress well but in a more lowkey manner.
**Verdict**
If you can get them on sale for 60-80 dollars I would say they are worth it and only if you know they are the 3rd tier shoes. But at a retail price of 120, I would highly suggest going straight to Greats at 175 (often cheaper with sales) or even Beckett Simonons (perpetual 20% off code at around $110). Anything else is really a different price level that is up to personal discretion on the value proposition. They at least have a tougher rubber sole and more substantial leather uppers. From what I gathered, anything with product code that starts with an E is a higher tier 2 or 3 shoe. But as always comfort first, many minimalist sneakers try to copy the CP look and tbh they are really only for narrow or regular width feet, Stans would one of the few that work for a wider foot. [author1] If you just put tier 1 stan Smith's in a hyperbaric chamber, it'll sometimes come out as a tier 2. Or sometimes just bulkier and ugly. [author2] What about a hyperbolic time chamber? [author1] Yeah you got it.

[author0] A pattern I’ve noticed over the past seasons I’m sorry if someone else has pointed this out but I haven’t seen anyone yet
Season 1 went like this:
1. Monster >!T-Pain!<
2. Peacock >!Donny Osmond!<
3. Bee >!Gladys Knight!<
Season 2 went like this:
1. Fox >!Wayne Brady!<
2. Rottweiler >!Chris Daughtry!<
3. Flamingo >!Adrienne Bailon!<
Both seasons, an African-American male won, a white male got 2nd, and a female got 3rd. This season, the Frog (Speculated to be >!Bow Wow!<) has been speculated to win. If that happens, the Turtle gets 2nd (Could be Rhino but not likely), and the Kitty/Night Angel gets 3rd, we would have an interesting pattern going on here :/ [author1] I think it's safe to say the names of the contestants of season 1 without using spoilers [author0] Yeah ik, but there’s always that one person if you know what I mean lol ;)

[author1] I’ve always been intrigued by that [author0] I think its written just based off the sounds of the syllables but i may be wrong [author1] I figured at much, you can hear him basically sounding it out as he’s doing it

[author0] Saw this on publicfreakout and thought you'd appreciate it [author1] Pro cross post right here. [author0] Reddit mobile is annoying, you can't just crosspost anywhere you have to be a member or recently been on that sub and that doesn't work half the time [author1] I’m not trying to pull your leg, I had good laugh.

[author0] [NG+6] [BL350] [LtFV] [andre21pe] Need help with Laurence, this is my last playthrough, 600h of Bloodborne. NG+6, Laurence is being a PitA. Password: 031184 [author1] He just clipped me there :/ I’m usually pretty decent at this fight multiplayer [author0] Almost killed him. He's the worst boss for me. Worst than OoK. I just killed alone once. :/ [author1] You’re getting a little too greedy towards the end. I only say that based on your health going down a couple times in quick succession [author0] Sorry. My fault, I should have let the end fight for you. :( [author1] Unless you wanna call it. Up to you [author0] Yep. I'm at the fog. Let's kill this mofo.

[author0] Still new to the community. I just got back from visiting someone’s island and noticed Rocco is crafting Jail Bars if anyone is interested in the DIY. Sahara is also here roaming around. The only thing is my island is a work in progress so if you don’t mind the construction I can open my gates! [author1] Are they still crafting? [author0] Yup

[author0] My friends kept harassing me to share this on here so here it is, a drawing of the 5 Emperors that i did [author1] So many glares in the photo. Great job!! [author0] Conquerors haki going dummy [author2] Actually, do we know that Black Beard has conquerors? I don't think we've ever seen him using it, and I never really got the feeling he met the nebulous personality requirements. [author3] I think he can sense luffy's conquerors haki when they met again in Impel Down

[author0] concept of the black knight skin in the female version. Not the best concepts of this type but I tried [author1] Really hope these skin leaks aren't true (except for remixed abstract from SharkToofs) it'll just be like Season X again [author2] The engineer? [author1] What? [author2] The engineer skin, you don’t know that skin leak? [author1] Eh...not really [author2] So if you go to Midas’ room you can see a picture of a girl in the desk, that is the engineer [author1] I know...but she just looks really basic with nothing special...she could very well be the secret skin like Singularity [author2] I really think she is the secret skin, she looks cool to me but I’m not very happy if she’s a tier 80-100 [author1] Yeah out of anything she should be tier one
