EDIT: These curves are juxtaposed only for our visual delight. I'm not implying that PSLV is purchasing silver directly from COMEX vaults. In fact I'm certain that PSLV doesn't go through the COMEX system to purchase silver because their prospectus prevents them from purchasing derivative products like futures.
None of this would prevent PSLV from buying bars directly from bar owners who have metal stored in COMEX approved vaults. So, some of the bars could, I suppose, be transferred out of COMEX and head straight to PSLV vaults, but I'm not inferring that.
PSLV's physical purchases, like other silver buyers, are no doubt putting demand pressure on the entire market creating stress everywhere, including COMEX.
Mostly, I'm trying to get this image out into the ether so the shills come and attack PSLV. I'm ready to expose their silliness. |

My employer, who manages Head Start/Early Head Start locations in my area, said I couldn't take paid leave to watch my child after the center they go to closed temporarily due to COVID. Normally this isn't a problem because my spouse can watch our child, but they are doing full time college and had final exams one day so they couldn't miss class.
On my time sheet for that week my employer specified that I took 6 hours of unpaid leave and I left a comment saying I needed the time off to watch my child because of the COVID related center closure.
I thought that employers with over 50 employees (which mine is) had to pay 2/3rds pay for time off if the employee had to watch their child because of COVID related school/ child care closures.
I plan on confronting my supervisor about this tomorrow and bringing it up that what they did was illegal, but they've already told me no to paying me when I (unconfidently) brought it up initially.
What can I do?
I should also add that my direct supervisor is not helpful and I'm pretty sure their boss has it out for me because I've raised ethical concerns before.
Edit: I'm located in Oklahoma. |

I’m so appreciative of everything I’ve learned on here! I have a pretty complex case, with a bridge (that’s been separated for treatment- no. 7) and both a molar extraction on my back right (no. 30) and a bottom tooth in the front bottom (no. 23) to make space. Both no. 7 & 30 will be getting implants after treatment, and I’ll be replacing the crowns on the outside parts of the bridge and adding veneers. I’m concerned with my ClinCheck in that it looks like my plan will make my overbite worse, not better, and I’m kinda freaked out. I know I will need refinements etc, but I‘m just not understanding why the plan would make my overbite worse vs better and would really appreciate your input! I shared the plans below, including from tray 0-50 in the center and on the sides. Ortho said in my last appointment that she‘s “still working on it” but I’m not 100% sure what that means, since as far as I know, she already has trays 1-50.

I feel like in a lot of respects top surgery would make me happy, but then when I think about how it's hard to imagine touching my bare chest and having my breasts *not* be there, my brain screams at me "that means it isn't for you! you'll regret it!!!".
I know nobody here can tell me whether or not top surgery is the right move or not, but is anyone else stuck in this sort of inbetween zone who can relate? I'm not actively disgusted by my chest (Except, weirdly, when I or my SO touch that sorta "overhang" underside of my tit. That gives me this awful slimy feeling in my belly that I can't stand), and sometimes I do honestly feel kinda hot topless, but.. Man, that feeling I get when they're concealed sure is intoxicating.

I'm not the best, but I know my skill level isn't bad. My parents are very aware of this. I usually just draw my original characters or fanart. Recently, something really big happened with my uncle and his girlfriend and my mom wants me to draw for them as a congratulations. This is not the first time she's asked me to draw for her at all, she asked me to draw lots of other things for her personal use. Usually when I refuse, she guilt trips me, saying "All I want is a drawing! You're being ungrateful." This time I also told her no. AITA?
I don't think I am, just because she's my mom doesn't mean I'm entitled to draw something for her just because she wants me to.
Edit: I told her im not comfortable with her asking, she then went on to say that i owe her because she gave birth to me. I'm sick of this. =-= |

Once the 'stop' point has passed, the stop order becomes a market order.
If the 'stop' order is linked to a 'limit', it is referred to as a "stop-loss order" and is only sold as a market order when the 'limit' price is met. If this 'limit' price is less than the 'stop' price (which should be determined when the order is submitted) then the stop should not execute until the limit price has been met. I submitted a stop-loss order with this understanding and the order executed immediately when the 'stop' price was met. Not when the 'limit' price was met. This was not what I wanted.
Is my understanding wrong? How do I correct?
Stop-Loss Order submitted
Stop Price $63150
Limit Price $61863
Sell: 0.02094250 BTC
Stop-Loss Order executed as a market order at the sell price of $63143.19

We have a lender and are about a month into the process. My gf has owned the house for a long time and never had an escrow, but we decided to do an escrow with the refinance. The lender sent an updated Closing Disclosure to sign, which I looked over. I was surprised and confused by the numbers I saw related to the escrow. I tried to contact the lender today but we played phone tag. I'm hoping someone here might be able to clear up my confusion.
When I first talked to the lender, she made it sound like, as part of closing, my gf has to pay the property taxes for Jan 2021 - April of 2021 (the part of this year that is already gone) at closing. Then, she would pay into the escrow as part of her monthly payment starting in May.
This is not what I saw on the Closing Disclosure. In "section F - Prepaids" they are deducting the full amount of her property tax from 2020, which she already paid in January of this year. Then, in "section G - Initial Escrow Payment at Closing" they are deducting 1/3 of her property tax for the 2020 year, which I take to be the property taxes for Jan 2021 - April of 2021.
I'm confused by the deduction in section F for a whole year's worth of property tax. My research indicates that only the deductions in section G should be expected. Can anyone shed some light on whether this is normal or not? |

I'm in the middle of trying to change medications to see if there's a difference. Went from ritalin to concerta (unrelated to sex drive) but still I was having the issue then as well.
Does anyone else struggle with this? I thought stimulants were supposed to increase libido and dopamine but the more I read, I see it swings both ways.
I feel like an awful girlfriend and I feel my partner loosing interest in me and it breaks my heart. He's still my sexy, loving, caring partner, but it's not going to be much longer before he walks away... And I understand as well. He's been sleeping on the couch for a few months now, but says it's only because he likes to stay up and watch movies / videos.
It hurts and I feel so powerless. Hopefully I can get help and try a different medication, I'm currently waiting to get blood tests done to check my thyroid also. I'm really really trying, I'm feeling worthless right now.
Maybe the damage is done? I don't know. It hurts though |

I'm a 32-year-old transfeminine individual who has been on HRT for the last six months. I am currently taking 12.5mg of cyproterone acetate daily and applying a 50mcg Estradot patch twice weekly.
I've been seeing some positive results (i.e. gradual feminization) from this regimen, but to be honest, I am wary of taking CPA for an extended period of time, even though it has resulted in testosterone in the single digits and an obliterated libido (which is something that I like). The long term health risks and some of the side effects I've been experiencing are cause for me to wish to try estrogen monotherapy.
Essentially, I've gained quite a bit of weight and I think it's affecting my mood as well, which may just be a result of the low testosterone, but I had been taking just estrogen in the past with neither of these ill effects (plus, my testosterone seems very low).
My question is, would I see any benefit from estrogen alone at the dose I'm taking? I have an appointment with my doctor to review my bloodwork and potentially have my dose increased next week, but I don't see myself having an increase of more than 25mcg.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! |

It's my little sister's birthday on April 23 and she'll be turning 18! A pretty special birthday 🤗 we're not sure what we'll be doing to (safely) celebrate but it'll probably be a pretty small celebration with the pandemic.
My little sister really loves receiving cards! (I usually send her some even though I only live 30 minutes away and visit her every other week. It's fun knowing someone enjoys them) She loves cute things and soft, pastel, "aesthetic" vibes.
She enjoys kpop and likes groups like treasure, onlyoneof, stayc, and purplekiss (probably a few others I'm not caught up on 😭 don't tell her). She enjoys shows like the Untamed and I Told Sunset About You, and she wants to be a singer and loves music in general! She likes to go on drives with me and listen to music.
She's a really sweet person, someone who gets really excited about tiny, ordinary things, and although this past year has been rough for her with online school for her senior year, she's been making the best of it! She helps me be a better person 🤗 if anyone would like to send her a card, please feel free to comment or message me and I'll be happy to send you her info! Thank you so much! |

This is really just a post to share everything I love and hate about the game. Enjoy ☺️
1.Hugo is literally such a bitch and I really want to kill him singlehandedly but Brian is not that type of person.
2. I think the lore around the strange society is so cool. I enjoy the modern dystopian aspect of it and, unfortunately, it makes me sympathetic toward Hugo because of his upbringing.
3. I find it so funny how people just get used to working at Sintra Corp that everyone kind of just accepts that they could totally die at any time. At least the pay is good. 🤷🏽♀️
4. Characters that I absolutely love are Mappy, Sintra, and Kate. They are so cute!
5.I wish there was was more time spent with Sintra in the computer(?) with more playable areas. I hated the lack of hidden things you could do in there because it was such an interesting space.
6. I think the plot had to be one of the best RPG games I have played. Ever. I’ve played Misoa, IB, The Witch’s House, Mad Father, etc. but none of them were equally as creepy and witty as this one. Even the theme of corruption in large corporations was fun and original to me.
If you read this far, tell me something that bugged you about the game or something that you thought was cool. ❤️ |

We have the evil robot guy in all the shapes, I wish they did a light colour skin, maybe with a long coat instead of a cape.
I really hope they put him in the new crime city or debonair, the 2 skin lines announced earlier this year.
That style would fit him perfectly and finally something new.
Many human champs have robotic skins, why can't the do the opposite once for vik?
I think he has a huge potential both in his model and abilities, even with an epic skin, they are just being lazy
This subreddit has many more people than a good amount of others, so he is not dead at all.
Someone like Ziggs has a huge amount of beautiful and interesting skin lines, why can't we have just one? |

A bit of background:
I work in tech, for a large multinational company. Since I started this job, all work has been remote, and there isn't any concrete plans to go back to the office. We are allowed to work anywhere in the United States, however, due to the sensitivity of the data that we work with on this project, it would be hard or impossible to cross the border with my work laptop, without permission and/or getting legal involved. The company is expanding to new projects though, so I want to ask if there is another position I could take that would let me work in another country.
I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with asking their manager about working overseas. I get the sentiment that no one really wants to leave the US, so it seems like they would have a hard time understanding that I would love to move to Turkey or India (Both of which, my company has offices in). I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with framing this request in a sensitive manner, but still in a way that conveys "I will keep looking for jobs unless you let me live overseas".
Let me know if anyone has any advice or personal experience asking about this. |

I got it from science.bio so I’m fairly sure it was real. I figure maybe I’m just not a good responder to Ostarine?
Skip to today, I’m sitting around 15% body fat trying to cut to near 10% over the course of this summer, do you guys think it would be worth trying another Ostarine cycle to cut? I didn’t notice any suppression on the last cycle, maybe I could add in Cardarine or change up the doses? Not sure what the move is, any advice welcome.
Also I know I could run RAD or other sarms for better results but honestly a bit worried about sides since I have slight puberty gyno I don’t want to get worse. |

Called SBA on April 11th (Sunday) at the 800-659-2955 number and spoke with a nice guy. He looked up my targeted advance and request for EIDL increase.
I’m having a tax issue, as my 2019 taxes were electronically filed, but still haven’t been processed, so they got a blank transcript back.
Here’s the crazy part, the guy told me to email a PDF of the electronic submission receipt from my accountant to the [email protected] email.
On Monday 04/12 I did just that, and put my EIDL application number in the subject field.
Today 04/13 I received a call from a loan officer who asked me a few questions and APPROVED my targeted advance. She explained the IRS is having a huge problem with the transcript issue, but loan officers can over ride it given proof the taxes were actually filed.
30 mins later my portal shows targeted advance approved
If you’re stuck in limbo give this a try, who knows how long my file would have pended. Keep your heads up and send in a filing receipt if you’re having the tax transcript issue...
Good luck everyone, there is hope!

I have never met a male who had a desire to touch black peoples hair unless they were a child or a rural Korean or Chinese person ( lived in both countries) yet apparently this happens and white folks have a insane desire to touch hair according to internet. Is this a thing? Did they never get slapped? Black women never want to touch my hair, at least none have tried to...

However, I still would love more. | null | The introduction of this change made everyone in r/wildhearthstone really happy. But I took a deeper look and there's some problems still.
As an even mage main, I immediately took a look at my current list and looked for slots to give for some inspire effects and frost giants. Sadly, there's only 2 viable inspire effects that can be included: boneguard lieutenant and dalaran aspirant (argent watchman doesn't have a stacking effect). Meaning that the only way to make use of this change is to use reckless apprentice with 6 other cards. This means that this strategy cannot be the main one as it is too reliant on specific card combinations in the early game that frankly aren't that amazing.
What I'd love to have:
-make spirit of the dragonhawk work similarly
-buff TGT cards so they fit their actual sensible mana cost (kvaldir raider for example)
-buff ice walker to have 4 HP
Those are very limited changes that haven't had anything remotely similar happen yet. Sure, we had card buffs but those were cards that were previously nerfed. What I'm proposing is to make cards we love slightly stronger so they match a reasonable power level.
Taking this route might be unprecedented, but as a wild player, it would the best thing to happen with the game.
Please Blizzard, make this wish come true. |

Taste is often subjective, especially in alcohol. The guy who drinks $13 8oz pours of some barrel aged stout is no better than the guy who orders the $5 pint of cheap lager. At the end of the day, if what you like is the glass, you're doing it right. |

I use it then suddenly the browser stops working and get the firefox report/quit browser screen.
I tried clearing cache and reboot.
Every time it happened I had to disconnect the internet cable to fasten up the computer so I can use my antivirus and cleaning program. Usually the antivirus make it run faster, and after running it a couple times and using various scans sometimes alleviates the problem. It rarely works to open add remove program screen! (when this happens)
As soon as I connect the internet cable it slows down, but to some extent if I ran the right antivirus scans and maybe cleared up some bloaty programs it tends to work again, after a reboot and leaving it for a few days.
It's weird because it happens suddenly with no real reason I can see, its not use that is getting the error to happen, it's like something is wrong with the net. It happens with other browsers too.
Every time it happens now I disconnect the internet first. Then run a scan, then maybe clear up space.
Give it 1-4 days and it's working again. Why? I don't know.
Anyone know of this error? any way I can avoid it happening again? |

I feel so bad and dirty for sexualizing her while she thinks she’s hanging out with a friend, I feel so bad that i am not able to have fun with boys anymore and that i am stuck in this situation (4 months) where i have no other choice but to think and fantasize about someone who isn’t available in that specific sense.

So if I have also tried the Shure SRH440 (beside the AKGs) and it was OK, where should I go to from here?
I have set as possible options the HD600 and 650 and heard the former has even better soundstage, but both are pretty neutral, which wouldn't be a problem as I will simply EQ them as I like. So what should I buy? What would you say are the most essential differences between the two?
I saw some negative feedback about massdrop, from my area specifically (a part of Europe) and am reluctant to buy the HD 6xx from them. |

I'm looking to finally upgrade from a dying 6S but I'm sick of Apple's proprietary garbage. Forced updates, nonconsensual nags and notifications, planned obsolescence, straight up spying... I like to imagine there's an alternative out there. I was originally considering Pinephone, but in an Android/Apple world it almost feels like voting for a third party, and I could use SOME support. Current frontrunner is the S21, but unfortunately I don't have much knowledge of what's on the market. What will keep me out from under Google's thumb for the most part? I want a phone that acts like a good piece of hardware, not a glorified subscription model from Apple. Past that dream, I want a phone that can almost replace my laptop while traveling, so RAM and processor are big. Emulation? Decently sized internal storage? Low f/stop on the camera? I figure a lot of phones could fit the bill.
USA
AT&T
$600-1k (probably going to wait for a sale)
Compact size-- not a fan of the "almost a tablet" size phones, but bigger for muscle is fine.
Camera is important for my work, but processing power is my chief concern... I'd like to be able to run emulators and other independent applications. I'd like to be able to root the OS, but as I'm new to Android I'd also appreciate any reading material that might help me learn exactly what I'm doing. Not much of a coder, just a quick learner. |

I love this jacket. I was hesitant to spend nearly as much as the Duckshank on a Workcloth version of a similar jacket, but I regret nothing! It checks every single box that I could ask for, and it's the jacket I'm going to reach for first most of the year.
Compared to the duckshank, the sizing is more fitted, and the drape makes it so it stays a little bit closer to your body. The duckshank was made to fit larger so you don't lose freedom of movement (not needed with workcloth), and its stiffer fabric means it sits away from the body. Those are not downsides of the duckshank, that is still an incredible jacket, but I am happy that the Workcloth OG Shank looks and fits a little bit more like a traditional denim jacket (except superior in every way).
Where the strongshank has sleeves that I find a bit too tight at the wrist, and the duckshank has sleeves that I find a bit too long, the Workcloth shank does not have either of those issues.
There isn't too much more I can say about it yet except to give it two huge thumbs up. It instantly became my favorite jacket (and I have way too many jackets).
It was hard to find lighting that showed any detail in the jacket, so sorry for the dirty bathroom mirror shot...

Using Roger and Ninja (though didn't really use it for AUD).
The biggest thing I found is to do whatever you can to get rid of stress. You learn much slower if you are stressed out and not retaining the material. Don't be afraid to take a shorter day if you feel that being tortured. If you have a hobby, continue it, talk and socialize with your friends, you start to go stir crazy if you continue to remain isolated.
I'd gave myself a two week break after taking FAR and AUD, no matter what the outcome I think thought it was, you can only keep up this studying for so long.
I'd recommend shorter and intensive exam review schedules, I found that longer review schedule (such as 5+ weeks) risked losing retention. REG will be the ultimate test of this theory as I have allocated two weeks to it.
Setting a goal to pass all four exams has been very useful, my goal is May 25th, so I would recommend picking a date where you want to be done, for people going for longer review sessions I would highly recommend this so that expiration doesn't sink up on you.
In conclusion, if anything, don't treat this exam as a measure of self-worth if you do fail, ultimately it is just a test, not some mortal enemy, with enough effort and time you will pas. |

I plan on keeping this for 10 years, if possible. I am not too picky but it is overwhelming, spent a few hours at Car Max looking. Cost of ownership (reliable) and holding value are most important on my list. All these dealers seem like they don't haggle, I liked that part.
My ideal list is:
* Mid Size (not crossover) SUV 2017+ year
* Less than 30 K Miles (some warranty left, CPO is plus)
* AWD
* Modern features (Apple car play, side sensors, rear camera)
* Little more on the luxury side vs. economical (not going for a Kia or similar)
My favs are the Lexus RX 350 and Acura MDX but I see few in low 30k's. Any other models I should be looking at? I glanced at some 4 Runners, Passports but they are mid to high 30ks+ too.
Any thoughts are appreciated. |

It pisses me off though, when I say something and someone basically calls me a liar when I would gain nothing from lying about it. For example, if I say I got bit by an insect, and I KNOW what getting bit feels like and I'm certainly educated enough to tell the difference between just spiny legs, and a hard bite because I interact with insects a lot, someone says "No it didn't bite you." Even though they weren't even there and they aren't me so they don't know shit.
Or, as I got older, if I were to vent to my mom and tell her things I was feeling, she would tell me "No you don't feel those things" or "you don't think that". She definitely gaslighted me in other ways but I'm not sure if this is the same or if there's another term for it? Like do people think they are mind readers? Do they think they know me better than myself? Do they think they know my situation better without even being there than I myself do? If this isn't gaslighting, what is the term so I can better describe how much I hate when people do this to me? |

Before we broke my cleric said she wanted to, at the start of next session use Divine Intervention to ask Tymora for a long rest for everyone. I know that's not a spell but it doesn't seem too game breaking to me. If they don't get it they might still choose to take the rest and pretty much guarantee the NPC dies but they'd still be fighting the BBEG at full. |

When you complete the quest, I want the spell tomes to be added to the levelled lists.
I want to avoid editing the vanilla scripts. I can’t get the story manager to work (I’ve tried an Activate Actor event with the actor set to Arniel but it won’t trigger for some reason).
I’ve got a possible solution: a start game enabled quest, add a script that registers for update every 24 in-game hours and checks if the player has completed the quest. If they have, the tomes are added to the levelled lists, it unregistered for update, and the quest is completed. If they haven’t completed the quest, it keeps updating. I don’t need them to be added instantly so I don’t mind the possible 24 hour delay.
I know that script bloat is a loaded topic, and I don’t want to make a “dangerous” mod. Would having the update be only every 24 in-game hours reduce that bloat? Or is having the script on constantly enough in itself to negatively impact performance? Also would the update persist between saves (say one game session lasts for 20 in-game hours, when you next load that save would the update happen in 4 in-game hours or in 24)?
Thanks for any help. This is the last roadblock to completing this mod and I’m really excited to finally publish it. |

At first I figured it was just an issue with the game or something since before and after this point I had no issues. Then I played the same level on an Oculus Quest 2 plugged into a laptop with an i7-10750H and a 2070 super max-q and it had no slowdown. So I hooked to Valve Index up to a PC with the the same specs as the one that was struggling, only difference being a EVGA 3070 XC3 Ultra Gaming rather than a Zotac 3070, and it ran the same area flawlessly...
This has me kind of stumped as to what the issue could be. The Zotac 3070 doesn't seem to have any trouble playing games like Ghost Recon Breakpoint or Far Cry 5 on ultra at 1440. It has had drivers updated and installed clean. It has had the same issue before and after the most recent Windows update.

I'm going to be initiating the pf tek with half pint mason jars and I want to then grate the colonized mycelium into a mono tub with substrate of vermiculite and coco bricks.
Is this a feasable way for Golden Teachers to thrive in? As the solely PF Tek dont yield many results.
Or do I need to get the Sterilized Rye Grain Spawn to colonize first. If I do it doesnt have an injection port and they suggest injecting at the top above the grain spawn, would this mean injecting the top layer of grain spawn or in the open air above the spawn inside the bag
This would be my first grow so any tips and advice for a New Zealander with not much experience/accessibility; to grow at home.
Cheers, |

I own a WordPress blog since 2015. This was my first experience with WordPress and I really liked it. Many years and tons of articles later, I look back and see some things that I should have done better. So I decided to do a fresh install of WordPress and do a full clean up to everything that I can, to improve my community experience. Even though I already googled many things, I fear to do something wrong. So I decided to seek some help here regarding the following questions that I have:
- How should I proceed with the fresh install? I will backup everything but after that what should be the first thing to do?
- With the fresh install I fear to lose SEO on my articles, is it safe to do something like this in terms of not losing search engine optimization?
- I'm using a theme that I don't really like that much anymore. I've bought one some years ago and I was thinking about tweaking it to my needs on localhost and then mirror it to my actual blog. Is this a good way to do it or should I do it differently?
- I also want to change my "Categories Tree", but I fear to have broken links on my articles. Is this something I can prevent?
Sorry for the newbie questions and thanks in advance! |

The story as far as i remember goes like this; A japanese high schooler who's in an astronomy club or something notices an object crashing into Venus, later this object starts ejecting mass from venus into Sun orbit,trying to build a dyson sphere. Aliens don't respond to any attempts by humans to communicate so we pick a few badasses from around to world to stop the construction of the dyson sphere. They get on their nuclear powered spaceship (while millions die due to freezing weather destroying crops, thanks to sun being blocked) and take on the bad guys.
Any help appreciated! |

I have yet to be put on that 11 week extension that was given to individuals who have exhausted benefits in that mid-December period. I was wondering if I was going be automatically transferred to that, or put on the indefinite extension that was supposed to last until August. Anyone familiar with this situation, and if so:
1. Am I supposed to do anything or will they extend me themselves like the did when my original claim got exhausted and got put on PUA?
2. How long is it taking to be put on that indefinite extension that just got approved with the most recent COVID bill? Has anyone had success already being put on that extension, and does their balance reflect that?
Thanks guys! |

Pausing Windows Update appears to do nothing, at least for an hour or so. I currently have Edge update and anti-Malware processes romping around in the background, even with updates supposedly paused. I have been staring at Task Manager in silent fury for half an hour just to get to the point (following a boot) where Firefox could claw back enough memory to load a single webpage.
How do I stop this from happening. I gave the great Whore of Babylon half an evening to perform comprehensive updates just last week, but she is back to bricking my PC again.
This problem is all over Google, but solutions really do not seem to be.

Any advice? | null | I’m 29 y/o and after all this quarantine I had been eating more than I should and not the healthiest food,
I hate to admit. I weight 148lb and am 5’3”. I used to weigh like 130lb and even then I was trying to lose weight. I’m pretty ashamed with how much weight I gained just because I couldn’t go to the gym and fell into terrible eating habits when I couldn’t go out and see anyone. Not to mention only wearing loose comfy clothes for a year and not having to dress up really makes you not realize how much you’re gaining!
I’ve been struggling to find a fitness routine to get myself back down and though I’ve gotten back into eating healthier that doesn’t seem to be doing the job. Really it feels like it’s making no difference at all even though I’ve been at it for months. I think I have to focus on the workout aspect more. Any suggestions for fitness programs to follow or workouts to do? I just joined planet fitness in hopes to get myself motivated and actually push myself with machines instead of just at home workouts that I can easily give up on.
Seriously any support or words of wisdom would be appreciated! I have a hard relationship with food so it’s really hard to talk to people I know because they don’t understand the struggle and just brush it off. |

All my marbles are in an eToro basket. Why ? Because opening an account was fast and easy and I was in "must buy now" mode (and im an EU ape)
But apparently "eToro bad" : shenanigans on first squeeze + they're lending shares. My smooth brain doesnt really get why lending is bad but at least I remember the "bad" part. Still, smooth is smooth and even tough I now know eToro's not recommended, Im now late in handling the situation. :|
Anyways Ive read its safer to split stuff to multiple platforms in case of new Robinhood-like shenanigans from one broker or another.
If I sell some stuff from eToro to buy on Degiro, is it fine or does that help shorters somehow ? What are the risks ? Im both scared of delays and missing out, and scared I could get shanked hard if eToro turns out to be a villain. |

La otra duda es con los fertilizantes. En la etapa de floracion quiero ponerle el Bloom Pack de Grotek, la mitad o 1/4 de lo que dicen las tablas ya que son fuertes (voy a medir PH, EC y TDS). Que opinan, sera al pedo o mejor algo nacional como Namaste?
Y en la etapa de vege al ser corta, darle micorrizas (trichodermas tengo entendido que es al pedo si se abona con quimicos), y quizas un poco de humus a la 2da semana de crecimiento, les parece buena idea o le mando algun ferti tmb?
Desde ya muchas gracias por la ayuda. |

I have done more research and have a better understanding of calls, though I still have a lot more to do before I start frequently trading options.
But, I thought the best way to get a feel for it would be to buy a very inexpensive contract. So, I picked up 3 contracts of a $1.5 call on SNDL with an expiration of 4/23. Total cost of $9. I honestly do not know if this was a good move or not. I have heard rumors of a pump in cannabis stocks for 4/20, so I figured it was a good enough contract to get my feet wet.
I am fully expecting it to expire worthless and just hope it can be a learning experience. But, I am curious- was this a good buy at all?
TIA for any advice for a noob. |

This is to prevent the shilling as they will have many psychological tactics up their sleeve that could catch some apes out saying stuff like “why is everyone selling” even if nobody is or “I think it has now reached its peak, time to sell”. These tactics I think they will use will catch some apes out and cause them to panic sell when the squeeze has not even properly squoze.
I don’t want any apes selling early due the shills so I think a blackout will be good

I truly admire the hard works you have done for the past 4 years! I am a sophomore right now.. and in a year or two, I will also face the mountains of challenges that many of you have gone through. So I would like to get your wise advice on what I am supposed to do from the point where I am currently in and on how to gain confidence in myself.
My current GPA is 4.6 (4 Honors and 1 advanced and it's weighted.. Idk the unweighted GPA), and I got 1550s on two practice tests for the SAT (taking it in May and June). As I was going through this subreddit, I noticed that extracurriculars and awards have a significant impact on the views and opinions of college admission officers. I am planning to start up a club (I am involved in Math, Physics, Chemistry, and School newspaper club which are all unrelated to economics), but I am a bit too nervous since I am relatively introverted. Also, I want to major in economics, politics, and/or history-related subjects, unlike all my other friends who want to major in stem-related subjects. Because of this, it is kinda hard to find someone with whom I can cooperate with. I do have a regional silver award from scholastic and the highest honors certificate from the school. But those are not necessarily related to economics. Because of the reasons listed above, I want to find some impressive extracurriculars related to economics that I can work on independently. Thanks again, and Congratulations seniors! |

* Johnny's theatre company is Shake & Stir ( and Kerry's been to a few of their productions already
* The reunion will definitely bring us the gotcha moments we've been waiting for
* Kerry quizzed the crew on whether these surprise bits were scripted and crew called them "the gift of all gifts"
* The DJ's mention Bryce implying Bec's going to be exposed and Kerry says, "Maybe for once Bryce is telling the truth" - but says Bryce is reveling in the distraction from his own behaviour
* Says how Bryce comes across on TV "can't be defended" but says when cameras aren't on him and he's "not trying to be this witty shockjock wannabe", he's "actually a pretty good bloke". That said, in a group situation, you won't find her willingly associating with him

We've gone through so many brands, and it seems like she simply just doesn't like the taste of dry food.
We usually cook huge batches of chicken/carrot/rice sludge and freeze them, and every mealtime we'd mix 50% home cooked food and 50% dry food. Even then, our dog would only really eat a few bites (and spit out the dry food) and it would be a daily chore to try and get food into her. My parents would eventually mix an egg/other ingredients in until she finally decides to eat because she hasn't been eating much in the past few months. She loves the home cooked food though, and any dog-appropriate food besides the dry food.
I've seen advice about how to basically train your dog to eat dry food by letting them go hungry for a few days, and teach them that they can't expect more (b/c my dog could be holding out, knowing that my parents will eventually mix more food and make the proportion of dry food smaller), but I'm not sure if we should do that. We've tried briefly (with the 50/50 mix, not pure dry!) and she went like 2 days without food and my parents felt shitty about it. Is it a good idea to just ditch the dry food idea altogether and give her purely home cooked food or would that be spoiling her? I'm not sure if this is bad habit that needs to be fixed or if we shouldn't make her eat food she hates but yea overall my dog is a diva |

I recently saw a posting for an Associate Level Librarian posting that peaks my interest quite a bit, but I'm not sure if I should apply as the posting is specifically advertised as an Associate rank position. To my knowledge this level of position generally comes with tenure, and I'm assuming that the employer is looking for someone already at an associate level and/or with tenure. My problem is that I'm currently only at the upper end of an Assistant level rank (A couple years from tenure), but I have all the right qualifications and man do I want to apply!
For you experienced academic librarians out there, and those especially with hiring experience.. Do you think applying for positions with a higher rank than what you currently have (assuming you meet the qualifications) is ok to do? Or total waste of time?
I don't want to waste anyone's time, especially my own, and turn off this potential employer of considering me sometime in the future. On the other hand, I meet the qualifications to a T and the employer has been on my radar for awhile. I also have been fairly unhappy in my current workplace for sometime to a point where I don't see much potential for improvement for the near future - so starting fresh and moving doesn't bother me.
Thanks for the advice in advance. |

When there’s a decent SHL or LIIGA prospect especially, who has an overall in the 60s but has high potential, instead of leaving him as an exempt contract and letting him play overseas they always sign them.
At which point, if you still want the guy, not only do they count against the roster but you have to play them in the NHL or AHL.
They do it with every prospect with decent value. It’s really annoying and instantly turns me off of the prospect unless they have elite-level potential.
I could understand if it was just the lower regarded minor leagues but when you are talking SHL or Liiga and it happens it’s very frustrating. |

Only huge energies would be enough to escape, and why would it have that? | null | I understand the basic concept of Hawking radiation, virtual particles pop in and out of existence all the time, some can do that right at the edge of a black hole's event horizon, and one can fall into the black hole while the other manages to escape. Got it.
But for the one virtual particle that escapes... to be able to escape, it must have been created with a tremendous amount of energy, it must have been created so that it's velocity was something like 99.99999999% the speed of light. Because if it had any smaller velocity, it wouldn't have been able to escape from the edge, and it would be lost in the black hole too. Also, any particle of *any* speed that wasn't pointed *away* from the event horizon would become lost in it too.
But why would this particle be so energetic/hot/fast? Why wouldn't a virtual particle pair be of low energy? Or at least, low most of the time? It just seems like for the particle to escape, it would have to be created as one of the fastest particles in the universe, right off the bat. |

No cleanup. Just left them everywhere and people just ignored the piles of bags, even in the classrooms.
1: I think 100 bags per box, especially huge ones for a body, is unrealistic. Maybe limit it to 20-25 bags a box and have the box replaced once a week. This could also be an opportunity to buy and bring your own box to school.
2: I think bags SHOULD get noticed outside of cleaning hours. Maybe not one bag, but in the situation like the speed run, maybe if a student sees three huge bags (intact corpses) they will go to the headmaster to complain. This is a prestigious school and those parents are paying out their ass to go there so having large piles of trash everywhere would be a shock and a tarnish of their reputation. This would force players to clean up and not exploit the garbage bag mechanic.

If you're reading this, then hopefully you got my silly pun title (lmao, couldn't resist!)
As you may have guessed, I have a fondness for a woman with a pretty pair of feet. I have quite a few kinks, mostly foot related, and I'd love to find the right lady to share them with! Open to any level of kink experience.
Now ideally, I'd meet the perfect woman, date, marry, and then we'd spend the rest of our life together happily; however life doesn't always really work out the way one would like. So with that being said, I am open to other forms of relationships.
I'd like to find someone local if possible, but I'm flexible on distance. Willing to share a current picture of myself, and I would ask the same of you please.
Let me be clear, I am looking to meet at some point. And I'm absolutely fine with meeting in public first.
Well, hopefully if you've read up to this part of my post then I've gotten my foot in the door. (Again?! Yeah sorry I'm a punny guy lol) Feel free to message me any time! |

Even if she genuinely wants to do good deeds. If Kim genuinely wants to do good deeds, a better and more effective route for her to go would be for her to use her money, her resources, and her connections to promote and facilitate the efforts of and the work of people who are already lawyers in regards to Criminal Justice Reform work. Imagine if Kim put all of the time and resources that she’s put into trying to be a lawyer into facilitating and promoting the people who are already lawyers in regards to their Criminal Justice Reform work. This would be a more effective and productive route in regards to Criminal Justice Reform. Compared to Kim trying to be and using resources to be a lawyer herself like she’s currently doing. Kim’s efforts to be a lawyer seem performative to me and it seems like she’s doing this just to make herself look good. Rather than actually trying to help people. |

A friend recommended this to me but I have never heard of it before. Seems quite popular, though.

Edit: someone has told me the megatoke burns the flower (same as smoking it), is this true? If so, are there any other recommendations similar to a bong that don’t burn the flower? |

But I don't think they would like the grind to disappear, every game needs to take time to complete, most of the end game raids or dungeons require grind because most items have low chance or drop and that's what make them valuable, I've had this experience with various games.
Silk road, I had a cousin complaining about the leveling, the grind, having bots 24/7 in order to just wait until he gets his T13 set, barely playing the game with a full party of bots because the grind it's too much. If that's the case and you only want pvp then why not choosing moving into a pvp server when everyone is already full gear.
C9 ( continents of the nine seal ) this game had massive combat system, almost the best one for me, and then again the dungeons felt kind of repetitive but the combat was fun and still people complained about the grinding.
Blade and soul, this one is truly a blessing because it has balanced pvp (arena only) so I'f you don't like to grind that much then you can still have fun in pvp but still with the same problems of whales and grinding dungeon after dungeon.
I hear the same things in wow but I haven't played it so idk. What could make the grinding more fun? What's needed in order to make end games more enjoyable? |

Meanwhile COMEX bleeds another 600,000 oz out of registered.

That is a 69,600,000 oz swing in 54 business days or 1,300,000 oz per day. That's an Ape rampage!
&#x200B;
Our scorecard at COMEX:
These curves are juxtaposed only for our visual delight. I'm not implying that PSLV is purchasing silver directly from COMEX vaults. In fact, I'm certain that PSLV doesn't go through the COMEX system to purchase silver because their prospectus prevents them from purchasing derivative products like futures.
None of this would prevent PSLV from buying bars directly from bar owners who have metal stored in COMEX approved vaults. So, some of the bars could, I suppose, be transferred out of COMEX and head straight to PSLV vaults, but I'm not inferring that.
PSLV's physical purchases, like other silver buyers, are no doubt putting demand pressure on the entire market creating stress everywhere, including COMEX.
Mostly, I'm trying to get this image out into the ether so the shills come and attack PSLV. I'm ready to expose their silliness. |

The yard was in OK shape and I wanted an electric mower so I went with an Ego. Worked fine in 2019 and most of 2020, but I've improved the yard so much that the Ego has difficulty cutting the grass now. The Ego seems to be putting out the same power but the grass is much thicker than it was in 2019. I've tried different blades and keep them very sharp, but it still seems to struggle, even when the grass isn't that long (but still very thick in some spots). I'm contemplating selling the Ego and going with a Honda gas mower.
So my question for the electric owners: Did your yard change to the point where an electric mower was no longer effective? Or did you once have an electric mower and switch back to gas? If so, why?

So I basically found my soulmate(we're both in our early 20s), she's everything I've ever dreamed of, and I think she's feeling the same way, even though nothing really happened between us, because she's been in a relationship for 6 years, and has a child. This doesn't bother me at all, but her ex (he's 21, they recently broke up, and he's the father,) is kinda crazy. One day, not long ago (after the breakup btw) I went out with this girl to a date kinda thing, and her ex followed us for hours, and when he saw that she put her head on my shoulders, and I put my hand around her, he came up to us, said some shit to her, then told me "I'm dealing with you later" so I got up, and said "We should talk about this now, you misunderstand". Long story short, we ended up fighting, not really a big deal, no one got hurt, he got a black eye, but that's it. My problem is, it turns out his brother wanted to come to my workplace to beat me up not long after that day, and I know I'm still a subject when they meet. I don't really care if they do it, I'm just afraid I can't live peacfully with her, even after that, they might not leave us alone. I kinda think I can handle this, but I would prefer to hear other people's opinion on this, so I would appreciate the advice.
Ps.: Of course I know he's the father, so he'll be around, but they won't live together, so I'm hoping I can figure something out. |

Not sure what’s going on or where to start! | null | So, long story short I’ve thought I had endometriosis for a long long time now (I’m 28) specifically because of my very severe cramps and pain during sex. I’ve been diagnosed with PMDD as well and have full body aches, nerve pain, debilitating mood swings, cramps, stomach problems etc etc the week before my period.
My mom had endometriosis (she’s since had a hysterectomy) and my sister has it so I feel pretty confident that’s what could be going on with me too but when I told me gynecologist my worries, she said there was no sense in trying to find out if I have it or not because I’m too scared to take birth control. (I have a severe medication phobia as part of my ocd but that’s a different story)
I’m just lost and tired of being in pain all the time. My period ended almost a week ago and I’m STILL cramping bad enough to need a heating pad and having GI issues. Do I need to try a different gynecologist? Is she right and there’s no point in getting a diagnosis? I’m sorry if any of this is dumb or annoying!! |

The person doing the bagging dubled up my grocery bags, I didn't even ask. Made life a lot easier when I got home for each of bag of stuff to be 3 bags thick. Just a nice quality of life thing. |

Hey all, I recently came across a non-running 1982 K305 CSR Belt Drive. The guy wants a negotiable $500 no title. He says he has the previous owner lost the title and that he got it with a bill of sale, as well as the previous owners contact info, and would be willing to give me the VIN to check with the police — it doesnt seem to me like its stolen or anything like that. Plus a running but rough K305 could be had for less than $500, so its not an insane price. If anything hes asking too much. Now, he says he bought it to have a friend fix it, but that his friend and him havent made time for it, and that its collecting dust for the past fwand he'd rather just get rid of it.
So, do you think that this might be too much to take on? I dont think id give him anything over $250 for it. I could do a compression test, but what else do you think could be causing it not to start?
Any advice would be great! |

Now we had a couple of conversations over the span of some weeks, which mainly involved me exposing my mental troubles before eventually she recommended I applied for a first-time stay at a mental clinic. So I did and that was the last time we had contact for a couple of weeks.
Now she contacted me once again via Microsoft Teams, approximately writing something in the line of:
> Dear [my forename], I hope you were able to have a rest over the holidays, how do you currently feel? Best wishes
> Don't be surprised, my last name changed from [former surname] to [new surname] 🙂
Besides reporting my mental state, would it be adequate to largely react to the name change, presumably questioning something about a marriage, and in general having casual-esque convos? Or is that unhelpful & unanticipated to bring up in a conversation with a social worker? |

So there is a patient who was started on sertraline and for the first 2 weeks of taking the medication, did fantastically with an approximated 20% remission. The patient experienced an incredible several days, as well. After that, all effects waned. Clomipramine has done little to nothing for this patient, and anything it did do has also waned. Patient is suspected to potentially have adhd alongside his Tourette's, major depression/bipolar, and ocd. No other antidepressant, or medication at all, worked for this patient to such a substantial effect aside from sertraline, clonazepam, and lorazepam. Patient has tried risperidone, aripiprazole, olanzapine, brexpiprazole, quetiapine, lurasidone, lithium, oxcarbazepine, clonazepam, lorazepam, buspirone, sertraline, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, venlafaxine, lamotrigine, ketamine, clomipramine and is halfway through tms treatment to no effect.
My thinking was that sertraline's fair DAT inhibition potentially played a role. I'm not entirely sure, though.
Any thoughts? |

I bought mostly for gamepass and upcoming Battlefield game. My cpu is a ryzen 1600 6 core 8 thread. While the series s is 8 core and 16 thread. Basically the series s is a goddamn steal for 1080p high quality gaming. Im excited . those who game on ps5 or pc and have a series s. Does the series s make a great companion? I still plan to get a gpu but only when they're at reasonable prices. Until then I'll use the series s heavily. And once I do I'll still use tbe series s a ton. |

Recently moved my planted, stocked 20gal community into a new 75gal. Transplanted a large Amazon sword, and a money worth, plus add new: pointy swords, crypt spiral, alternanthera, hygro reds. Canister with coarse foam, filter floss, matrix, purgen.
I added a lot of my old tank stuff to jump start the BB in tank before doing the move. Everything was going fine then boom, algae explosion.
It’s wafting off of my new pointy swords, I’ve got dust looking spots and hair all over my big sword, my beautiful white beach is brown, and...well everything got scuzzy.
So
A) I realize that new tank syndrome is still a possibility.
B) I realized that my new light (Fluval plant) was on way too many hour a day timer, so I cut that back to 6 hours max.
C) I’ve been doing 15-20% water changes and trying to manually “scrub” some of that stuff off of my rocks and off of plant leaves.
D) I’ve cut back feeding my fish from every other day to every 2 days to try to eliminate any extra waste in the column.
Granted, I’ve only been battling this for a week and a half but it doesn’t seem like things are improving much. I have snails, but even they seem overwhelmed and...kind of lazy at this point.
Is there anything I’m missing. I usually prefer to be chemical free, but my tank looks horrible and I fear for my plants and my scape at this point.
Thank you for any advice. |

First, a few months ago I lost my brand new maverick on my first throw on a course an hour or so away. Wrote it off as gone for good. Then got a text a week later from a guy who found it. The next week, i was back in that city and he gave me his address. I went to his house and he left it on his porch (due to Covid precautions) with a batch of cookies for me that his wife made. They were really good!
The following week, i let a friend use the Maverick and he threw it into the lake, so i again wrote it off. Then the other day, i get a call from a guy who found it while looking for his own lost disc. I met him at the course and he had twenty discs he found and was calling each person to get them back.
Second, yesterday, i was playing with my wife at another course and found a disc on the fairway. I recognized the name from a couple we had met a half hour earlier. I texted the guy and we met up a few holes later. They asked us to join them and we all finished the second nine together, having s great time and making some new friends!
Not everyone thinks that inked discs are free to take. There are some out there who actually care |

I was hoping that some people here could tell me if these things are not going to work on keto, or if the amount would be negligible. The first is Hormell black label thick-cut bacon (original and applewood), I was surprised to see that they are cured with dextrose, and wanted to know if the process of curing would leave an amount minuscule enough to let me eat it? The other thing is chicken fajita meat that contains "less than 2% dextrose". Why chicken would need dextrose is beyond me, but I've already bought this stuff and would appreciate if someone who is more familiar with this could give me an answer. |

Throughout his life so far, he’s had small issues with submissive urination. I looked into and saw that it is normal for puppies and usually wears off after about a year of age.
I’m starting to get concerned because my boy seems to be moving in the opposite direction. He now owes every single time he sees someone. Often when I come home and he hasn’t seen me in a while he will pee.
A few weeks ago I was at my fathers house and brought Chowder with me. At one point, my dad starting petting him and chowder god so excited about it that he started peeing on the rug.
Last week I woke him up to take him out and he got so excited that he started peeing just looking at me.
Sometimes he pees when we’re putting on his leash. Tonight it got even worse. I was trying to take him out and when we got into the mud room and I bent down to put on his leash, he started to pee. I left to get paper towels and wiped it up, then went to put on his collar and he peed again. This cycle repeated 3 more times and I gave up. I really don’t know what to do and any perspective and advice would be extremely helpful. |

edit: i realize this is such a dumb reason to want to kill mysef, but there’s 2 driving factors. 1) i’ve had these thoughts for a long time, but i never had a reason to end it other than my mental health disorders. 2) if this qualifies as sexual assault, my life would be ruined. |

They live in a hell of their own making. TW: Death | null | Last Monday, my Gran died. She was a miserable, racist old narcissist who emotionally abused her only daughter, my mother, for her entire life. She died alone, in an institution, of Alzheimers. No funeral is planned because despite the fact that Gran had six siblings and a huuuuge family, everyone knows that only her daughter would go, and maybe her daughter's kids to support their mom. She's dead and no one but my mom honestly gives a shit. Because she was cruel, and she didn't love anybody, and her presence in people's lives was mostly bad-to-neutral.
Yesterday my beloved dog died. His name was Alfredo, and he was a big fuzzy pitbull mix who loved everybody and wanted pets and scritches more than anything in the world. We did everything we could for him, but his body just gave out, and we had to put him down. He's not in pain anymore. I miss him terribly. I wish we could have done more for him. But here's the thing-- everyone loved him. At least thirty people have expressed condolences. His vet was heartbroken. People have brought flowers, my mother in law made a framed photo of him. People miss him. Because he loved them they miss him.
This loss-grief speedrun has taught me that when a life is lived with love, it makes a deep impact on people. What we are to each other is defined, I think, by love.
And the sad thing about narcissists is that they can't love anybody- they just don't have it in them. |

Understandable, but I will be unable to get tested until Thursday. Which leads into the actual story here. So, today I was at home and having to attend school virtually. And here's where the cult bit comes in. So when I started attending my current school, I joined the school choir. Today, I had to attend virtually while others were there in person, meaning I got to see it with a bit of detachment. Now, I knew there was a joke going around my school that the choir's a cult, but I didn't get it at all.
Today, I really saw how someone who didn't know what was going on could absolutely walk into the choir room during rehearsal and totally think they walked into a cult meeting.
I mean, think about the stuff that happens in high school choirs. Lots of chanting and singing, often standing in circles or odd formations, the all black uniforms for performances or recording sessions, the matching black binders everyone has... it's kinda creepy seeing it from the outside, if you don't have the context of what it's supposed to be and why these people are doing this!
So, guys, am I in a cult? |

I have my first appointment with a doctor who does testing and counseling for autism, among other things. I’m so anxious. Am I going to have to “prove” myself? I have an autoimmune disease, and I have had so many cases of doctors ignoring me, downplaying my symptoms or treating me like I’m just looking for drugs that I have so much anxiety when I try to explain anything to my doctor. I start to second guess myself and I feel like I’m being a bother or just whining about something minor? And I hate feeling that way, like I can’t speak up for myself because I won’t be believed. Ugh.
I guess I just want some reassurance? I hate doing new things and seeing new doctors is at the top of that list. |

As a 22 year old student I am deciding more and more eto get back into reading as my final college semester comes to a close. I currently am interested in expanding my tastes in books as currently I am about to order books on technology, philosophy and history. However, to deny my love for quite possibly my favorite genre of fiction literature (being fantasy) is still a staple in my taste. I grew up reading a fair amount of fantasy, and even my favorite childhood book series being The Rangers Apprentice.
I come to ask perhaps you're guy's favorite mature/adult literature, something for for someone around 20+ years old to engage in with strong characters, a gripping story and atmosphere. If possible a world full of lore would be great too as I do enjoy deep dives into the world's of any media I consume (similar to how the video game dark souls, although very limited in story is filled to the rim with lore). I am also interested in the possibility of keeping away from the cliché "good guy faces the bad guy to save the day" trope, and would love a more in depth character study of the protagonist with possibly just as much study of the antagonist, possibly have the two face off for reasons other than one is the living embodiment of all that is good and the other being the foil to that.
All recommendations would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you for your time! |

At the moment it seems likely that I'm going to be working at UofT next year, but was just wondering how the healthcare system would work for non Canadians here.
I'm on private healthcare with my HRT, have my legal name sorted but no birth cert/gender marker change yet.
Just have a few questions:
- Would my lack of birth cert/gender marker change make it harder to access trans healthcare?
- Is there a long waiting list to see a GP or doctor too?
- Is top surgery quite accessible and or expensive, or would I have to travel to another country? Over here, my only option is to go to another European country.
- Is Toronto LGBT friendly? I've been a few times as I have family here, but haven't been out of the closet in the times that I was in Canada.
Any advice or tips are appreciated, thanks all!
Edit: Just to say thank you all for giving me very handy advice & info, you guys are super helpful and this subreddit is wonderful! |

Music sounds great through it but TV/video program dialogue is horrible and hard to understand especially if there is music or sound FX with the dialogue (ie Law and Order, Mayans, etc). I tried all the different settings boosting dialogue, etc, nothing seems to make it better. I've seen posts around the web saying the same thing about the lousy Z9F dialogue performance.
Any recommendations for a similar replacement sound bar with better dialogue performance? Sound bar is on the entertainment cabinet directly under the TV. All devices connect to the TV, then connect to the Z9F using ARC except for the turntable which runs through a pre-amp and then into the 3.5mm analog input. Extra Z9F HDMI connections are handy but don't really use any of the other connectivity features... |

This year I joined this sub, and I found out that the Trespasser is a DLC that continues the story of the Inquisition.
So I decided to purchase it, only to find out that no DLC at all is available for PS3. Then I googled how to migrate a DAI saved file to PS4. Truth is, you can only export the save when you are inside the Black Emporium.
So, the thing is, I don't see The Black Emporium in the installed list, the I don't see it in the world map, and I can't find it in the war table operation either.
Six years have passed, and I can't figure out if the DLC is installed or not in the PS3 version, I can't tell if I have already completed the war table operation, and I really would love to preserve my first and only completed campaign with 130 hours.
Any tips and tricks? |

So I was going to enroll in a program (math spec) but I was missing mat240 and 247. I had dropped 240 in September because it seemed like the best decision at that time. A decision that I would regret in December, having already gone through most of what was being taught in 240 in mat223 and realizing that I can do most of the assignment questions even with my crappy 223 knowledge.
After some back and forth with the associate chair, he said that he won't give me a waiver for the second year courses. Tho I was doing very well in mat157 he still said that 224 is not enough for them. From this sub it was apparent to me that they are ok with people not having that prerequisite and they actually grant waivers.
I asked him if I could take them concurrently but he still said no.
So now, I'm stuck with 2 useless grades (mat223 and 224) and the only way for me to get in is by wasting another year by doing mat240 and 247 next year to be able to enroll in April 2022. And I gotta waste a few thousand dollars on my next year too.
On top of all this mess, I also managed to lwd a year long philosophy course, also wasting 1 fce of what would've counted towards my br.
I fucking hate myself!!! |
