2024.05.14 21:59 tinkerellabella My (29F) husband (40M) wants to sell our family home. What do I do?
Hi Reddit,
I'm in need of some advice regarding my current marital situation and the potential sale of our home. To give you the full picture, I'll start from the beginning. Apologies for the length, but I feel all the details are necessary to understand the context.
I (29F) met my husband (40M) on Tinder four years ago. We dated for about eight months when my family had an opportunity to purchase a property. My then-boyfriend was also looking to be involved in a business deal of that sort, and he was interested in having his name on the property as well. My father supported this, seeing as how my boyfriend was a physician with a good income, and saw this as a way to bring him closer to our family. The opportunity came quickly, and we all signed the contract to purchase the house.
Trouble began shortly after this. My boyfriend requested that only he and I be on the title of the house, removing the rest of my family, as he saw a future with us and envisioned it as our potential family home. My father was very pleased to hear this and supported it, so we obliged. During this time, the property had increased in value, and I requested the other family members be paid off so we could buy out their shares. My boyfriend declined, feeling it was unfair.
To skim over some details, here are the highlights of the construction: My boyfriend paid more for the down payment than we initially realized would be required. Because of this, he paid no further construction costs. The construction proceeded with debt from my family until the construction loans came through. My family paid for the construction, and my father built the house for us without charging for his management services. My father was displeased with my boyfriend’s behavior and required him to pay more money for the construction due to inflation and the COVID shutdown. My boyfriend declined, and my mother and I secretly took out a line of credit to front the construction costs to my father, pretending it was from my boyfriend. Eventually, as we got the construction loans on a rolling basis after meeting construction milestones, my mother’s line of credit was paid off.
During this time, my family and I wondered why my boyfriend had not proposed. I decided that if he hadn't proposed by a certain time, I would leave him. Fortunately, he did propose on Valentine’s Day 2022. By spring of 2022, construction was coming to an end, and it was time for us to settle into the house. My fiancé felt uncomfortable with how much money he had put into the house and was worried I could leave him and make a profit. I promised him I wouldn’t leave him, but it wasn’t enough. He said he would believe me if I had a child with him, otherwise women would leave men if there were no ties. I told him I would have a child with him right when we got married. He suggested I come off birth control, as it takes months for a woman’s cycle to normalize after being on birth control for many years. I promised him I would come off birth control.
Coming off birth control was more stressful than I realized. I was very hormonal, breaking out, and felt unlike myself. This contributed to my fiancé and I fighting more than usual. In one particularly heated fight, I told him I would go back on birth control and even purchased the pills, but he told me he would break up with me if I did because he wanted to get to know the real me. I conceded, and then something switched in me and I became excited at the possibility of having a baby. I started tracking my cycle and figuring out my ovulation days. I shared this with my fiancé, and on one of those days, we got pregnant. I didn’t find out until the end of summer 2022. When I did find out, I told my fiancé and suggested we should probably get married.
My fiancé's first response was that we should wait to see if the baby sticks, and if it does, then we can plan a marriage but he wanted to wait until February 2023. I was very disappointed and angry and yelled at him. I felt alone and overwhelmed by the thought of having an illegitimate child. After discussing potentially getting an abortion, potentially breaking up, and potentially selling the house, I talked my fiancé into keeping the baby and getting married. He also wanted to keep the baby but was afraid of our situation. After many fights about when to have the wedding, we finally decided on December 2022. At that point, I was four months pregnant. During this time, my fiancé and I had major arguments that therapy couldn’t even remedy. We would yell at each other, slam doors, I would cry, and he would hold himself up in a room for hours. We had nice moments too, but they were heavily clouded over by the bad.
Finally, we got married, and things were good for a while. But then we faced some marital problems. My husband kept separate accounts and managed the finances himself. We had a joint credit card where I could pay for expenses without being questioned. He made all of the major investment decisions and major purchases. If I tried to disagree or speak up, he would get upset because this was not the submissive wife I had promised him I would be. I made significantly less money than him but lived a good lifestyle, buying almost anything I wanted within reason. Coming from a traditional family, I was upset that finances were kept separate. And so it continued that my husband would invest tens of thousands of dollars into our house so that his family from out of town would visit. We live in Vancouver, Canada, but his family is from Ottawa. In hopes of luring his youngest sister (of four) to Vancouver, my husband would make any modification to the house that his youngest sister showed the slightest interest in. This included a hot tub on the rooftop, a media system in the basement, a movie projector, and much more. After said sister got married, she made it clear that she would not move to Vancouver. Then a switch happened in my husband, and he suddenly wanted to sell the house.
Meanwhile, during all this time, I had my baby, and my husband and I were still fighting more than ever. I felt no support from him, and he felt drained by his work, our fights, and being away from his family. Recently, for the past three months, he has been consistently pushing for the sale of our house. This is where my dilemma lies. I am afraid to sell this house because my husband has kept finances separate, and the mortgage on this house has been serving as a way for me to feel secure. My husband contributes a monthly amount on a regular basis. He could have forced a sale in the past but didn’t, instead paying into the monthly mortgage on top of other bills. Now, he is considering forcing the sale of our house, but I am upset that he is citing financing as the issue when I have been begging him to save money instead of spending (his response is that $200,000 does not affect a $2M mortgage, and that he now feels burnt out and wants to retire sooner and live passively). If I agree to sell, I feel unstable about moving from our home given that my husband and I fight so frequently, and I am left alone to take care of the child. It is also worth noting that my parents live right across the street and come over frequently to help with the child, or I would go over to seek their help. My husband says that he feels abandoned and uncomfortable frequently because of our proximity to my parents, but I am because there have been times when I felt truly alone, and my parents were my only solace and support. My husband would ignore me for days, especially when I was postpartum and vulnerable. My parents now see my husband as someone who doesn’t put his wife and child first. My husband says that the massive mortgage we have is too stressful for him, and he can’t take that burden. I am sad that my husband will not consider keeping this house for another three years so that I can get comfortable with the idea of selling the house and that potentially I and my family can all move to Ottawa so that we can allow my husband to be closer to his family.
I don’t know what to do at this point, Reddit. I’m currently on extended maternity leave, but it ends in six months. My husband and I will have to come to an agreement about the house, otherwise, it is likely that he will force the sale of the house even if I’m not ready to move. I’ve consistently felt rushed and overlooked in this relationship. I am tired of being the small voice that does not impact decision-making. My husband is now being nice to me and trying to show me a good time, but I see it as him turning on his charming mode so that I can say yes to the sale of this house. I’m not sure what to do. Our fights and disagreements are so bad and the marriage feels like doom sometimes (never any physical violence). I sometimes questions even staying with him, but I worry for my daughter. He is a good father to her, when he is present and off his phone.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
TL;DR:
I need advice. I met my husband four years ago, and we bought a house together with my family's help. Financial disputes caused issues. Despite getting married and having a baby, we fight often. My husband handles our finances separately, spent a lot on the house, but now wants to sell it. I feel insecure about selling because the mortgage is like an investment to me, and also I rely on my parents, who live nearby, for help with our child. My husband feels stressed by the mortgage and feels homesick for his family 3000km away. I feel overlooked in decision-making and am unsure whether to agree to the sale, or to stand my ground and not sell. Sometimes I question staying in the marriage for my daughter’s sake, or is it better give up on this unhappy marriage.

2024.05.14 21:57 GoZun_ Alpine in 2024 - Miami : Assessing Upgrades and Gasly's Performance
 | Alpine scored its first points of the 2024 season in Miami, albeit helped by a timely virtual safety car. This analysis looks at the weekend and evaluates the impact of the new floor. submitted by GoZun_ to formula1 [link] [comments] Qualifying PerformanceThe graph below shows Alpine’s qualifying lap times compared to other teams. To ensure comparable data lap times are always compared in the same session (For exemple I compared Sauber’s Q1 lap to Gasly’s Q1 lap in Miami and Gasly’s G2 lap to the Q2 laps of the others).https://preview.redd.it/a5b44bleof0d1.png?width=790&format=png&auto=webp&s=c4e626b67ff4eceb2811114076f041696c8f6fb6 In Miami, Alpine improved by about two-tenths of a second from previous races, coinciding with the car meeting the minimum weight requirements. Looking at the optimum sectors, the new floor seems to have improved the performance in low and medium speed corners. Previous races showed the Alpine was good in high speed corners but struggled with traction at slower speeds. You can check out my analysis of the Japan qualifying on my website. https://preview.redd.it/iuhw0e1c5g0d1.png?width=1489&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a4b7b6c7b7ad79739496d27a392deb0d427b584 Sector 2 and 3 featuring mainly lower speed corners the gap to other midfield teams is much lower than in Suzuka. Surprisingly, despite the upgrade being rushed to Ocon’s car in China the gap was still significant. This could be for various reason like Ocon underperforming, the setup not being figured-out yet or the car being more suited to Miami’s layout. As Bruno Famin pointed, out the weight was only one of many issues with the car. With upgrades expected from other teams in Imola, Alpine may struggle to keep pace. Missed Q3In Miami's qualifying, Gasly finished P12 and Ocon P13, marking the first time Gasly was ahead this season.https://preview.redd.it/p97ql6v3pf0d1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=718fccf98d27fe203fee4264f6535960a563035c Both posted slower times in Q2 than Q1, which was uncommon and suggested a missed opportunity for better placements. Albon, Stroll and Perez being the only others to do so it is reasonable to discard the track getting slower. It appears Alpine missed a potential better result as their Q1 lap times would set them respectively P9 and P12. Comparing Gasly and OconThe performance difference between Gasly and Ocon in Miami was just 0.05 seconds. But here’s a detailed look:https://preview.redd.it/qfmdj2tgpf0d1.png?width=1021&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b0dd706c0e32f95c4ff2438878cdee854da9e58

2024.05.14 21:57 swap_null Dark Green Blood on my Purple Shark! Syahi Ink Mix Need Budget Eyedropper Demonstrator
 | Greetings everyone! I have been enjoying your discussions and detailed reviews for quite some time, wanted to share something with you myself today. submitted by swap_null to fountainpens [link] [comments] Ordered Syahi inks since I did not want the large size ink bottles offered by other Brands like Bril, Krishna, Waterman and Pelikan. I love green and the light green Syahi offers was just too vibrant and bright. I toned it done by mixing them both in a 60% Black and 40% green ink. In terms of the writing experience, I am finding my shark to run a little scratchy not sure what's causing this but before this I used my Blue Parker Quink in which this pen outperformed by Jinhao 80 intermittently. For now, I'll continue to write with it and hope that my shark feels better tomorrow :P Also, I am going to try darker and lighter shades of green for which I'm looking for a budget Demonstrator Eyedropper pen. I was planning to buy the Click Majestic or the Kanwrite Zephyr but they won't let me add ink via injection in them since they are piston fillers. So I would have to make a slight compromise and delay buying a piston filler and rather go for something which helps me adore those shades of Green while having a buttery smooth writing experience. My budget is around 300-400 rupees. I was looking into click and airmail eyedroppers but they have been linked with burping. I would also welcome suggestions till 1k, maybe I'll wishlist it for now and buy it on my birthday. Would love to get some suggestions. Thank you! |
2024.05.14 21:56 Kingof9realms My strategy for Reading
Ok, so this is my first post on this sub. I am gonna take IELTS in a couple of weeks from now and have started preparing for it. I've started with Listening and now currently working of the Reading section.
Firstly, the Cambridge IELTS books 14-18 seems the best when you're just starting out (for Reading). I just completed my 3rd Test in 3 days and here's the strategy I followed:
1) Taking multiple mock tests of a particular section isn't bad, taking mindless mock tests is bad.
2) Every question type has a different method of solving it: for instance the Summary Completion using one word only requires us to focus on a particular paragraph while Matching Information needs us to skim through the entire passage.
3) All these tips & tricks for every question type will surely be available on YT but the best way of learning them is to solve them on your own and decide for yourself which methods you're going to follow for different question types.
4) Make a note of your strengths and weakness and review. Try understanding in which type of question are you making the mistake and if they're been repeated focus on such question types. If we don't review our mistakes, we'll never be able to rectify them.
5) Don't do more than 1 hr of Reading a day. I feel 1 test a day is more than sufficient and the rest of the time can be spend focusing on different section (LWS).
This has been a long post but I really wanted to share my strategy with you guys since I've benefitted by reading posts in this sub and adopting their strategies, I hope my strategy can provide some help to the ones who're looking for it.
I know it'd sound crazy to take tips from the guy who hasn't given the exam yet but hey if my strategy works for you, I'd be the happiest :)
P.S.: I'll be starting to work on the writing section from tomorrow and I have no clue where to begin. Your help will be appreciated 🙏

2024.05.14 21:55 caseydwayne What is the best TTS (text-to-speech) with voice cloning out there?
I decided to give TTS a go for my 2nd book. I tried ElevenLabs but I am unhappy with the way they processed my "Professional Voice Clone". Yes, it sounds like me (kinda), but they completely eliminated my pauses and the emotions + volume levels are random at best. It sounds like I'm impersonating William Shatner - I - cannot stand the pauses and - inconsistency, in my voice.
What is your suggestion and why?

- Respects natural pauses/speech patterns.
- Control over emotion of words/sentences/paragraphs.
2024.05.14 21:55 LordGreim225 Beginning of the Great Assault (Operation: Rolling Erosion)
 | It had been too long. Far far too long since they had a command meeting. submitted by LordGreim225 to war_for_Gryllus [link] [comments] (Like seriously really sorry this took so long.) ‘The situation had been developing for some time, & for a time Greim had no idea how to recover the situation as it evolved. Now however he had a plan. Not the best or most sophisticated Plan. But they were against the clock & the situation would only get worse if they waited too long. ”Ladies & gentleman. It has come to my attention that the High lords will not be sending further support for this campaign for the foreseeable future. With numerous wars against the Tyranids and the Indomitus crusades, we will have to make do with what we have. What’s more, word has reached the wider T’au Empire of our invasion of the system. We are unsure if they will be dispatching a Fleet and further military support at this time. As such we are against the clock here. If we take this system & bring them to heel at the negotiation table we can ultimately be victorious on the field & let the negotiators and politicians ensure we keep what we take. As such we will review what I have gathered From our situation. Older situation map. ”As far as I’ve gathered we have very little progress in our assaults on the defensive lines of Camburg. We have taken the Sanguine Bridge & made ground toward but not taken the Firekeep. Ka’esh Fortress, the T’au’s primary military airbase is still operational. I’d have hoped we had taken more ground, but given our situations that occurred it’s remarkable we did not lose more ground. With the clock ticking & our pool of manpower no longer going to be increasing or replenished as easily we need to hit the T’au’s primary nerve in the Gryllus system before we are too weak to do so in the future. I had hoped further forces from other fronts could aid in this, but we are out of time & would lose ground elsewhere we can’t afford to give anymore.” ’The dark briefing room of the Strategiums holo map lit up with new icons of their situation.’ Opening maneuvers “This plan is not very complicated in its opening moves. We will hit the T’au with sudden overwhelming force wherever we can. They need both these fortresses to maintain the defense of Camburg. Firekeep is situated on one of the only land crossings, & with Ka’esh fortresses air bases operational crossing the river with pontoons, or fording with vehicles would be far too costly, as such the Kestrels will cordon & destroy the airbase utterly. It is of T’au design & as such unsalvageable, it is to be utterly razed to the ground. The titans & a Large contingent of Aironautica will provide assistance & heavy fires support. But this is a very well defended target. We believe several T’au super heavies to be present. This mission is their atonement for previous transgressions & to prove their loyalty as good guardsman, if they succeed they will be rewarded. The large support elements is to try & mitigate the losses as much as possible & give them a fair fight. The fortress also hosts a large garrison of T’au auxiliary infantry & conscripts alongside Fire warriors, so be advised. We estimate their strength at 5,000 Fire warriors & 9,000 auxiliaries & conscripts. However the air power is their greatest strength. We will send numerous hydra flak battery squadrons to further assist in this assault.” ’He scrolled toward the Firekeep.’ ”The rest of the army will hit the firekeep in force. This is a major training center for T’au fire warriors & we expect stiff resistance here. They know they’re the last line against us & Camburg itself. T’au infantry & human auxiliaries will be the bulk of their defenses. This was once an imperial installation & its architecture shows. Example of the Firekeep curtain walls. While this fortress could theoretically be resanctified & saved, that is no longer a concern. This fortress & its defenders must be silenced & we can’t cordon them off like Ka’lesh fortress. So its destruction is likely necessary. The Krieg 5th will bombard the fortress as will all available heavy guns not used for the destruction of the T’au airbase. The 5th will use its breaching drills to create passages to breach the curtain walls & storm the outer gates from the inside to open the gates for our forces. Once inside clear the fortress top to bottom, regiments that specialize in this type of environment will take point. If the drills fail we will bombard the fortress till it is rubble & storm it traditionally. The Titans will relocate once the airbase is most in ruin & is unable to be threaten our flanks any longer. Once the airbase is cleared our forces can also ford the rivers & begin moving on Camburg itself. Phase II of the operation: The holodisplay projects the capital city of the T’au Empire’s government in the Gryllus System Camburg is a major city, the largest in the system in fact & primary seat of power for the T’au Prelate ruling over this system. It is heavily defended by both Fire Warriors, Human Auxiliaries, Kroot, & even hosts a Demiurg population alongside other client races. This isn’t going to be an easy nut to crack. While not a hive city it is still a damn big one. Multiple levels exist in certain districts that go into the earth some nearly a deep as the buildings are tall. Its population estimates vary, but we estimate several tens of millions at minimum. The city is several thousand kilometers in length as well. A T’au entertainment Dome, a popular attraction in one of the eastern city Parks This one is primarily used by the water caste, where public debates into philosophy & questions are discussed at length for hours & hours on end in a unique sort of Diplomatic debate Sport that seems popular among the caste. The largest subterrainain district in Camburg in the older human districts. T’au technology & human culture blend. This area is the entertainment A Auxiliary conscripts sketch of Mesme Districts Curtain walls. The T’au primary Barracks and Fire Castes living quarters are situated in between the T’au made eastern portion of the city & older human settlement next to the Etherel prelates primary residence & government building. Security is tight as such & these walls are a major line of defense for the leader of the Gryllus system. The artist was captured in a recent raid & this was found on her person. She has since been taken for further questioning & is scheduled to be sent to the Penal Colony Agri World in thanks for her cooperation. The Aun Reach Compounds view of the city. This is one of the most heavily defended regions & buildings in the entire system. An Artists depiction of the local peacekeepers of Camburg. This station is run by both humans & T’au. Despite what one might think, water caste primarily makes up the bulk of law enforcement in the T’au empire. Their diplomatic skills One of the T’au loading bays & Battlesuit Armories. The heaviest suits that are more akin to flightless walking tanks are stationed in Camburg as a last line of defense. Though not numerous, there destructive power is equal & or super-passes any Imperial superheavy & some are even designed to hunt the might god engines if rumors are true. As stated in a previous debriefing. The T’au Auxiliaries defense corp has taken its toll in this war & its numbers once in the millions of volunteers are now being supplemented by conscripted soldiery. These troopers are given quick rudimentary training & their equipment now shows it. Once wearing full combat suits able to help regulate temperatures & have built in comms. Now these fresh soldiers are given basic fatigues, a chestplate, & a padded kevlar like hood designed to protect them from shrapnel & weather. Their primary weapon a “Pulse Defender” is a semi auto Pulse weapon with no stock or advanced scope beyond basic iron sights ‘The intelligence dockets were detailed & more information could be provided if asked but the lord general continued.’ Icons lit up once again like before one the map with new objective markers highlighted in gold for priority & green for non essential or secondary. “Our assault on Camburg will be absolute & to hammer home our advantage in numbers We still have we will strike with force on the Western half of the city. This is primarily the older settlement from the original human colonists. As such the architecture will primarily be imperial of origin in certain areas. However expect Xeno buildings & designs added as well. If things go well enough attacking the airbase Kestrel & titan forces will join us from the north, though this plav can operate without them. As we approach the city, first blood will go to the Astartes, if they are willing. Any space marine compliments available will attack the Spaceport in a rapid shock assault via however they wish. Anti air is present but I doubt that can stop angels of death for long. Their mission will be to destroy any T’au air assets capable of defense & reduce the spaceport or any ships present to nonfunctional. This will eliminate the threat they can evacuate their leadership before we can reach him. After they have caused enough damage they can withdraw at their discretion.” ’He panned over the guards & knight elements.’ ”We will begin with a bombardment of the outer defenses & target troop staging areas such as Barrack’s & Aun‘s Reach. This is a civilian rich environment. They will likely try & flee from other gates. Hopefully in the east where they are out of our way & hamper the T’au’s movements. Once we have a breach alert all personnel to increase pressure & pour all available units in. Once we are inside the fun part starts. We expect stiff resistance, barricades by conscripts. Murder holes, emplaced T’au turrets & every vehicle & battlesuit they can throw at us alongside infantry. This will be a war of Rats, warrens & destroyed buildings will become fortresses in their own right. My regiment is specialized in shock assault & hive warfare, this will be our element. Many of you I know it will be the same. I will make my headquarters in Alexia‘s Mercy Basilica as it’s old, large & sturdy & capable of holding what I need Being close enough to our lines in the north for further resupply. Our greatest challenge will be Aun’s Reach. This is the resident of the T’au Prelate Aun’Ui Vior’Shi, they will do anything to defend him. He is priority one, take him alive, if we do. We could force the entire system wide T’au force to surrender, We expect other Ethereal to be present as well, kill or take them alive if you can. That massive structure is the central nerve of the T’au forces here in the system. Speaking of Ethereal's there is a target of interest regarding that. ’He pointed to objective J.’ ”This which we have dubbed Seekers Rest, is a facility reserved for a T‘any sub group called Yasu'caor or Seekers in gothic. This seems to be a philosophical concept but its administrative one is something analogous to an T’au equivalent of an Inquisition.“ ‘There was a pause with such connotations.’ ”It’s members are exclusively of the Ethereal caste & while I suggest you research them with data that can be provided, they will often be accompanied by retinues of varying backgrounds including there client races both of militant & other backgrounds. As such capturing this facility & its occupants would be a valuable asset. If needed I’m willing to provide rewards to the soldiers who bring them in, & no it would be open to units who assisted them as well equally. This mission may require a more subtle hand but I’m open to suggestions.” “The T’au military commander is one named Stoneguard. There are other forces present alongside fellow T’au military leaders. Stoneguard believes in a patient hunter tactic of his species. He is patient & calculating & usually defensive, a dangerous combination for a defensive commander. Goad him as much as you can but do not fall for easy traps. Draw him in & lure him to situations he can’t win either way. We won’t take the city in one swift strike likely. But if we do this, we could cripple its defenses & make the other half much easier to take. I will now open the floor to discussion of tactics & methods for making this a reality.” ‘He sat down & let the projection stay.’ (Estimates for enemy forces to be determined. We should outnumber them in most scenarios but they will be dug in more often then not.) |
2024.05.14 21:55 slimesly Dungeons & Prefabricated Rooms
 | Hey everyone. So, for the last week or so, I've been trying to find some procedural generation algorithms that would work for me and a prototype that's been in the works. submitted by slimesly to godot [link] [comments] After lots of searching, testing, failing...I landed on probably the laziest method I tried....Now, this is not to bash anyone doing something like this, or someone thinking of trying it. I just thought some people may find this useful when trying to find a starting point. The Issue I suck at math and wanted nice handmade *rooms* in our *procedurally generated* dungeons. Dungeon Outline The main thing that was discussed was using prefabricated rooms. We needed spaces big enough to fight numerous enemies in, as well as consider the fact that up to 4 players could be fighting in the same areas. The first hurdle was designing spaces that are fun, but could also be used as jigsaw pieces to combine with others. Now, I am used to doing 2D projects, and have never touched procedural generation (in 3D) until now. Here are a couple examples of the prototype rooms: Room module #1 Room module #2 A couple things to note about the modules:
The Placement Whenever a new dungeon is generated, it follows this algorithm:
Add room to array
Once the algorithm is finished, we have something that looks like this: https://preview.redd.it/soz4gl4e2g0d1.png?width=1142&format=png&auto=webp&s=ab075456f88a03482343c502a94efbb43b1ce7d7 This is working on a 5x5 grid. The far left module is 0, and the last is on the right - the lone module one space above the rest. terrible representation of the main path Once this is complete, we then check all the empty grid spaces and if they're connected to a grid space that already has a module, we give it a chance to spawn "filler" or "secret" modules. These are modules that contain small puzzles, chests, cool visual pieces, etc. Conclusion We have found this system to be very lightweight. Although it's not the most sophisticated system, it provides different enough dungeons that you aren't running into looping dungeons - so to speak. This example is only utilizing 3 prefab modules, and will be expanded to, well, many. What's Next? We plan on taking the system a step further and allowing sub-modules within each quadrant to be randomly selected. Since all of the main modules are 128x128 tiles, we can divide this into 32x32 sub-modules and have them "randomly" generated as well. full-module split into 4 The main thing next is cutting off unused hallways. The plan right now is to write some logic into the modules themselves that find either a cutoff point where walls should be placed in the case the hallway doesn't lead anywhere, OR, just adding walls where the door should have been. Either one of these would work, although the latter solution will mean stretches of dead-end-hallways. Considering that the image above is a basic test modules consisting of a square room surrounded by short halls, this may not be much of an issue. Additional Steps The major thing to consider here is performance. Once the world gets more detailed, more props are being spawned, lighting, AI, VFX, it'll start to chug pretty heavily. One upside of this system, is we've already divided the world into "chunks" - this being each 128x128 module. So based on player location on the grid, we can disable neighboring cells. The main reason we decided to test this form of generation, was the fact that placing prefab rooms then trying to connect them with path finding was a pain in the ass. So far, it feels pretty natural running around these dungeons, main exits/entrances on each module don't feel too "square" - I think this depends massively on how you design your modules. Sometimes we create weaving hallways into more open spaces within a module, and this combined with other geometry from other modules, makes it feel pretty cool. That's all for now, might make another post once the world is more put together. I happy to answer any questions and if YOU have any ideas on how to improve upon this, drop it in the comments! Cheers, bn |
2024.05.14 21:54 ddzoid Do I need color?
I've been looking for an e-ink tablet hybrid device. I want it for studying and casual reading. The features I am looking for is 7-8 inch screen, fast enough to switch between books or pages and the ability to send the notes as text. I want to mark and scribble over the books and I was thinking that it would be best if I could mark in different colors so I could differentiate easily between the markings and to help with memory, etc. However, a color e-ink device is much more expensive than a simple BW so I wanted to ask you, has having a color tablet improved your studying experience and if so, how?
Also, and so I don't make another post, does usb debugging comes in handy for a regular user?
Thanks a lot!

2024.05.14 21:54 Visual-Ad-3768 VSF Toronto App to France Timeline
I applied to the French embassy in Toronto. Interview date was April 18, got notice of my passport being mailed back on May 9 and received it May 13. Multi entry visa approved from July until October of this year. Note they do not tell you if it is approved or not in the email. You do not find out until it arrives. My travel date was listed as July 5.
Despite all my research I was questioned on a few things at the interview, which isn’t quite an interview as it is just ensuring you have all docs and to take biometrics.
First, I had a letter from a friend saying I was staying with them in their apartment. I was told this isn’t sufficient and that I needed an official Cerfa form from the French government. It does vaguely mention this on the checklist but no links or no information on what it actually is. I googled it and found the typical application form, which I had so I thought I was covered. Anyways, I was able to just make a quick hotel booking instead to cancel the point of me staying at my friends.
Second they told me I should have applied to another embassy but I was due to be on both countries the same amount of time due to a cruise stopping in Turkey for a few days.
I am a Canadian PR, owning a home with a steady job and income so I’m sure those were big factors in my approval. Good luck everybody.

2024.05.14 21:54 HenryP9626 Deciding between 10th gen iPad and the new 11in M2 Air for my first actual iPad as a student, Netflix, and casual gaming.
So I recently bought the Apple iPad Pro M2 12.9 open box!
It’s a great iPad but it was too big. I just wanted to see if I liked it or not. I love it but I could not justify having an iPad Pro. So I returned it, glad I tried an open box before buying a new one.
So now that I know the IPad Pro isn’t for me. I’m thinking between the iPad Air M2 11in with the keyboard, and new Apple Pencil.
Reason being: future proof, new keyboard and Apple Pencil. Able to handle games, and watch my Netflix shows.
On the other hand I heard the iPad 10th generation is good as a student as well.
Reason being: help me save lots of money, can handle games, and watch Netflix shows, can take notes but I heard bad things about the USB-C Apple Pencil but has been fixed.
Mainly looking for what is the best value for me and makes sense. I would already decide but there is to many iPads too look at. I just need it to do what I want without spending extra features that are useless to me hence why I returned the iPad M2 Pro. Great IPad but no use for the raw performance and 120hz display. Not even a great cost in value/performance in my circumstances I believe but I could be wrong.
Any other iPad suggestions would also be great!

2024.05.14 21:53 Melodic_Rub_5656 Agate Fossil Coral; reveals small flower-like patterns:
 | Agatized coral, a type of fossil created by mineral preservation. This natural stone formed when ancient coral is gradually replaced with agate. Original coral was submerged in water and covered up by sentiment, over thousands of years the organic material was gradually replaced by silica minerals on a cellular level. Fossil that is created is incredibly detailed, preserving pattern and shape of the original marine creature. They can be white or brown or brightly colored, often multicolored depending on which minerals preserved it. submitted by Melodic_Rub_5656 to Massimo_Community [link] [comments] Agatized Coral considered as a highly mystical stone for exploring mysteries of life on this planet. It teaches us power of interdependence and that we are all connected, none of us truly isolated except in our own minds. Agatized Coral reminds us that we are constantly changing and evolving, yet we also remain fundamentally the same, and this apparent paradox is both beautiful and good. Agatized Coral soothes and quiets turbulent emotions. It reminds us to breathe deeply and to step back and look at the situation logically and from a neutral mind. In particular, it can help us to explore our relationships, noting which ones serve both parties in a healthy and happy symbiosis, and which ones are parasitic and dangerous to one or more parties. Agatized Coral shows us Truth, without judgement or guilt. It then encourages us to gently but firmly adjust our relationships (and perhaps our belief systems as well) so that Highest Good is served. Agatized Coral increases diplomacy and cooperation. It helps us to see, understand, and design systems that work together for a greater purpose. Agatized Coral is a wonderful talisman for anyone involved in protecting and studying ecosystems, or any marine science. It also helps us to think analytically about how we can protect ourselves, our society, and our planet. Agatized Coral reminds us to live holistically. It encourages us to eat a variety of foods and colors of the rainbow as well as to make sure all the parts of our body get stretched and exercised. It encourages us to take time to rest, to play, and to work, as well as time to socialize and time alone. Agatized Coral reminds us that when we nurture each part of ourselves, the whole of us becomes stronger and healthier. As a talisman, Agatized Coral is fantastic for anything to do with the skeletal system and for skin. |

2024.05.14 21:53 cmbhere I do not believe this is MOASS, but is due to proxy proposal 4.
Years ago someone posted a very nice explanation about zooming out on the chart and looking at On Balance Volume (OBV) to see if the shorts are covering. It was very well written, and I remember digging into it quite a bit at the time and it made sense to me. Sadly I don't remember all the details, but that is what I have been using ever since to do my "oh man, maybe this is it" sanity check.
If you're the person who wrote that thank you, and please link to it in the comments as I would like to re-read it, and there are many here who are new since you wrote it. They should check it out.
If you zoom out on your chart and add the OBV indicator you'll see that compared to the last few years the action of the few days isn't even a blip (looks like the trading sideways chart guy). So if that holds true then the shorts are not covering.
So what's going on? My theory is this. It's proxy proposal 4. The one the board recommends voting against.
For the first time that I can recall the board is recommending an AGAINST vote. I checked all the way back through 2018 (having trouble finding earlier, and don't have the hours to dig in more right now). There is not a single case where the board has recommended an against.
Until now.
I believe that SHF want prop 4 so badly that they are willing to pay for it. They don't hold the shares so they can't vote. So they are spending the money to buy shares so they can vote. The price is going up because an ADVERTISED 25% of the float is locked (we fucking KNOW it's higher, why the hell can't we get the real number?!).
Think of this is as the preview to MOASS. It's a tease but not the feature. Once the SHF have used the shares to pad their vote they do their rinse and repeat to lend and short again. 50% short sales yesterday, and not small numbers for short sales last week either. Oh, and long term OBV is rock steady. Yet the price is up. Hmmmmmm....
Prop 4 is so important to them that they are willing to spend money on trying to get it to pass. The severe downward movement today tells me that either 1) It finally has gotten so expensive for them that they can't risk it going any higher (a very risky move for them so I'm leaning away from this explanation) or 2) they think they have voted enough shares to to get prop 4 to pass.
What is prop 4? On the surface it seems pretty simple. One of the NY retirement funds has concerns about board diversity and skillset. Remember we already vote on these board members and since they got elected its safe to say the majority is happy with them. This proposal brought forth by these guys in NY is NOT something innocent, but just the start of trying to insert their own board members that they like. Stinks of BCG in here. Remember them?
Now, some folks are going to come back and say, "Dude. That means they'll have more than 100% of the votes, and it'll trigger MOASS." No. It does not. We've been through this before. There's whole explanations out there on how it works. The votes are culled and you will never ever ever have more than 100% vote. To which someone will say "BUT DOOOOOOOOOD! That's NOT RIGHT. That should be illegal. That's manipulation." Look around. Any of this seem at all above board? Of course not.
So what can you do?
Simple. Buy, hold, DRS (book) and vote as the board recommends. In the case of Prop 4 the board recommends AGAINST.
We may be early, but we're not wrong.

2024.05.14 21:52 underated41 The Enigma of Amelia Earhart's Disappearance: A Flight Into Uncertainty
 | Amelia Earhart's 1937 disappearance during her circumnavigation attempt remains a captivating enigma in aviation history. This event continues to spark the imagination of researchers and enthusiasts, with theories persisting for decades. This article delves into the circumstances surrounding Earhart's last flight, analyzing various explanations proposed to explain her fate. By examining historical records, eyewitness accounts, and scientific analysis, we'll explore the most plausible explanations for what happened to Earhart, while acknowledging the enduring questions that cloud this mystery. submitted by underated41 to Magioland [link] [comments] Taking Flight: A Daring Circumnavigation Attempt Amelia Earhart, a record-breaking pilot and advocate for women's rights, aimed to become the first woman to circumnavigate the globe. Her route, planned with navigator Fred Noonan, would take them eastward across the Atlantic, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Ocean. Following a series of successful legs, Earhart and Noonan departed from Lae, New Guinea, on July 2nd, 1937, headed for Howland Island, a tiny speck in the vast Pacific. The Final Transmission: A Beacon of Uncertainty Earhart's final radio transmissions crackled with a mix of frustration and determination. As she neared Howland Island, she reported low fuel and struggled to locate the miniscule island due to navigational challenges. Distress calls hinted at worsening conditions, but Earhart's fate remained unclear. Despite a massive search operation, no trace of Earhart or Noonan, or their Lockheed Electra aircraft, was ever definitively found. Theories Take Flight: Crash, Castaway, or Captive? Several theories have emerged in attempts to explain Earhart's disappearance. One suggests her plane simply ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean. Searches throughout the decades, including underwater expeditions, haven't yielded conclusive evidence for this theory. Another theory points to Nikumaroro Island, where scattered artifacts have been linked to Earhart. However, the validity of these connections remains debated. More outlandish theories propose Earhart may have been captured by the Japanese military, or even participated in a secret espionage mission. While intriguing, these lack substantial evidence and raise significant historical and logistical questions. Science Steps In: A Modern Search for Answers Modern technology offers new tools for investigating the past. Researchers utilize satellite imagery, advanced sonar scans, and other techniques to analyze the vast Pacific Ocean in search of wreckage. These efforts may hold the key to unlocking new information about Earhart's final resting place. Earhart's Enduring Legacy: A Pioneer Lost, But Not Forgotten The mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance has become woven into popular culture. Movies, books, and documentaries continue to explore the case, a testament to her enduring fascination. Beyond the enigma, Earhart's legacy as a pioneering aviator and an advocate for women in aviation is undeniable. Her courage and determination continue to inspire generations. Conclusion: A Flight Unresolved While the definitive answer to Amelia Earhart's fate may forever elude us, the questions surrounding her disappearance continue to drive exploration and research. This ongoing search not only sheds light on her final moments but also serves as a reminder of the challenges and dangers faced by early aviators. The enigma of Amelia Earhart's disappearance is a testament to her ambition and a lingering chapter in the history of flight. |
2024.05.14 21:52 Visual-Disk-6521 My girlfriend 21F of 3 years left me 23M 9 months ago for a guy she met on tinder, we continued talking and being intimate... Now things are getting serious between them and I don't know what to do? Please help...
This is gonna be an interesting one and Ill probably get a ton of hate because maybe I'm an idiot but anyways... (LONG and IN DEPTH WARNING)
Me and this girl were together for around 3 years but have known each other since before we were even teenagers as she was my sisters best friend growing up. We had hooked up a couple times in high school and both lost our v cards to each other which idk if it matters but I guess I'm going into detail on this lol.
The summer she graduated we started hooking up again. One thing led to another and from very early on we both seemed to have intense feelings and a crazy connection.
After this she went to college in the medical field and I continued to work. She wasn't far away so I would go spend weekends with her and basically anytime she had outside of being in class and studying we were either together or on facetime for hours. (So before anyone says anything about college, she did not go out and just wasn't that type of girl)
The bad part of all this which ultimately could be what go us where we are is that her parents strongly disliked me and did not approve of me so she basically wasn't allowed to see me or date me but we continued working around that.
Her parents were abusive her whole life and became "helicopter parents" which caused her a lot of trauma and she would do anything to not upset them. (They checked her location constantly and would call her all the time to check in even though she's 21, she never got in trouble and was basically an "angel child" in her fam)
During the time we were together I would say every few months she would go into this panic attack mode of feeling that she was doing the wrong thing and that we couldn't keep going (because of her parents) but every time she would say she didn't know what to do because she loved me so much but felt like she couldn't be with me and that her parents would never let it work.
Multiple times we went over a month without talking and when we would start talking again it would be like we never left and we would both be dieing to see each other as soon as we could and then the time we would finally spend together would be euphoric and we would talk about how we don't want to be apart anymore.
That only happened once or twice other than those times we just couldn't stay apart from each other. For the reason of what I thought might be "true love" which these days in this generation seems nearly impossible to find.
Around the middle of last summer she finished her school year and had started hanging out with one of her friends from our home town (This is a girl whos never had a father figure, sleeps around every weekend, was always a big drama starter and does not have any goals or ambitions) As you can tell I don't like her because of exactly those reasons and my girlfriend was the complete opposite so I thought she was a bad influence.
During this time everything was great, we were seeing each other just about every day, being intimate and everything just seemed completely normal and fine.
Until one day she was hanging out with that girl and some of that girls friends... I had called a couple times to check in on her later that day/ evening with no answer or call back as well as texted which seemed odd but didn't think much of it but then everything seemed off for the next week or so until she eventually called me and said she didn't think we should keep talking because it wont work out long term and she had felt that I was overly concerned with her where abouts and what she was doing, which did not seem like it was really coming from her because weeks before this she had literally said I should call her more and be the first one to call more...
I gave her the space she needed until she reached back out a couple weeks later saying she thought it would be good to still talk just not constantly.
A couple weeks after that she had told me she started talking to another guy who she met on tinder after that day she hung out with her hometown friend who got her to get on the app (which she initially told me was her choice but I eventually found out the girl had convinced her to get on it)
Anyways that was all about 8-9 months ago, time has gone on we still talk every single day multiple times, we have been intimate a few times. After the last time I asked her why she was still talking to the guy and she told me she didn't know why she did what she did and that it was stupid and that she would likely stop talking to him.
She also kept asking me 1. "why it was so good" and 2. "how would I describe it?" I wanted to tell her "because that's how it feels being intimate with someone you love and have an emotional connection with after going months apart" But felt it was too soon to bring those feelings back so I told her I wasn't sure and to the second that I would describe it as "intense and passionate" To which she agreed and said it was unlike anything else.
That was a few months ago.
Now, in the last month or so I've noticed her starting to be slightly distant but its in a weird way, like she still calls me about every little thing and wants to tell me about everything. I feel like (and kind of know) I'm her only emotional support but its like I cant tell if there's still more than that here or if its gone and idk what to do....
Today that guy posted a bunch of pictures for graduation and one of them was with her and she commented hearts on the picture.
To my knowledge her and this guy have hooked up a little but still haven't been intimate and a couple times she even said she feels like she doesn't want to have sex with him.
This is a girl who has been by my side through everything like me losing my mother, getting in a serious car accident where I was in a bed for months and more.
She is literally my best friend and I have never been so close or felt what I feel with her with anyone else. She just makes me feel so comfortable and at peace while with her and when we talk. We used to talk about what it would be like when we got married and the way we wanted to raise our kids. Damn has life changed..
I understand it might be time to say good bye but I want to see if there's anyone with something to help or any piece of advice.
I also feel like a bad person because my mind keeps going back and forth between the following:

- Just telling her how I feel and that if this is truly what she wants then I don't want to talk to her anymore and cutting it off.
- Doing number 2 and then reaching out to the guy and telling him I've been having sex with her etc.
2024.05.14 21:50 throuuughawayaccount I (28m) found out my (30f) girlfriend had a casual sexual relationship with someone she both works with and lives in the same apartment building as. I'm really struggling not to ruminate about it.
So for context, we only started dating about 3 months ago but things have been going really, really great. She's been kinder to me than anyone I've dated before and she's always been upfront and honest with me about things. I don't need to ask, she tells me the things she thinks I have a right to know. I've felt really happy and cared for and I've felt like I really trust her. So this is not a matter of trust.
However, the other day one of the guys living on her floor said good morning to us as we were leaving the apartment together, and she looked terrified for a moment. I asked what was wrong and she told me that he used to constantly ask her for sex and she used to repeatedly say no but he never respected it, that he would make moves on her in the workplace too and she would give out to him for being so disrespectful, but that on two occasions she hooked up with him while feeling really down and when she needed to "feel wanted", then regretted it afterwards. She told me that once she met me, she told him she didn't want to maintain active contact with him, but that he made contact again both in work and via text to tell her she could always "take shelter" in his room if she wanted and added "you can bring your boyfriend too", which she said infuriated her and made her lose all respect for him.
I didn't ask for any of this information, she confessed herself immediately after the encounter, and she said she was trying to find the best way to tell me about this. She also told me she had no feelings for him at all, which I believe, but this honestly makes it harder for me to understand. She has told me about her past sexual relationships without me asking and in every other case she had feelings for the guy, so I didn't think twice about it, but she claimed this guy was the sole exception which I think was meant to reassure me. But all I can think about is the fact that she slept with him multiple times despite the fact that they work together, live in rooms across from each other, that he was repeatedly disrespectful to her, and that she had no feelings for him.
This doesn't really make any sense to me and seems very out of character for her as she's someone I see as having high standards when it comes to how others treat her. Why would she maintain contact despite the disrespect? Why would she risk her job, home, and risk complicating future relationships for the sake of having sex with this guy? Why would it happen twice, and so recently too (the last time was shortly before we met), if she regretted it? Why is he so casually friendly and making such strange comments?
All of these details have left me ruminating excessively about their history and how I may encounter him any time I visit or leave her apartment, etc. I can't get these thoughts and images out of my head, even though I have no jealousy at all about any of her other past relationships that she shared all the details of. But something about this is really bothering me and making me feel miserable. I don't think it's a matter of trust as I do trust her not to cheat. It's not a matter of insecurity or feeling inadequate either. But I don't quite know what it is.
I personally have never had casual sex despite many opportunities because I always wanted to reserve sexual intimacy for relationships and avoid drama or hurting people, so it's possible that her actions just make me worry we have different views of sex. For me, it's really tied to feelings. I wouldn't want to end the relationship over different views of sex in either case, but it's possible that I'm feeling this way because it suggests a difference between us that I wasn't cognizant of before.
Regardless, I need to overcome this and I don't want to be distant with her because I am feeling so down about it. It's not fair to her and she's being nothing but incredibly kind to me. While the relationship is new, we've spent a lot of time together too and she has been consistently loving and considerate. What can I do to overcome or at least understand these feelings, and how can I navigate this situation so she doesn't get hurt or upset by me being emotionally distant while processing my feelings?
Tl;dr: My amazing new girlfriend told me, without me asking, that she previously (before we met) hooked up with a coworker who lives in her apartment on two occasions, despite the fact that she had rejected him countless times before and he never respected her saying no. I'm really struggling not to ruminate about it, but I'm not entirely sure why I'm so upset. I don't want my feelings to damage the relationship and need help understanding them.

2024.05.14 21:50 pakibitch AITA: Getting frustrated with cancelled dental appointments
Hi all,
I have been putting off the dentist for around 3 years due to a lack of insurance but, recently got the guts to go in this January. As expected, I need lots of procedures done which I am totally okay with because I finally have $$ to pay for it. I go to a dental school for my appointments because that’s where I had previously went years before; so student doctors being shadowed by faculty basically run these appointments.
It’s been over 15+ visits and I feel like they’ve barely made a dent in the stuff I need done and have not given me any explanations as to why (but that’s a story for another time).
In the past, they’ve double booked me with other patients in the same appointment slot after confirming a different date with me (for some reason they seem to tell me appointment times that are unavailable in their system) at least twice. I’ve caught on to this and had to reschedule a week prior once the automated message I got did not line up with the date they told me. I kept my patience because they are students after all and must deal with all sorts of patients all day so these details probably get lost in the mix.
I had a 2 hour appointment slot yesterday however, the fire alarm went off so we had to evacuate. They had started drilling into my tooth but just left me to go home once everything was all right because they had a patient right after me. I understood because I had a full day today from 9 AM-5 PM with appointments booked.
I work a very corporate job so I took off work for today 3 weeks in advance. I don’t get many days off but this is important. My student dentist shows up 30 minutes late to my appointment but it’s alright. We get to 11:45 AM and she tells me she needs to take a break for lunch. I understand and wait in my car for an hour.
I come back in around 12:40. At 1 PM, she calls me aside and tells me they have another patient booked today?? I had confirmed multiple times including yesterday that we were good for today. She tells me she can’t do anything and I have to go home. She asks if I can just tell my manager if I could still work today?? And I tell her no lol…. She then follows up telling me I can come in at 3 pm and she will text me to confirm. 3 pm rolls around and I’m here waiting in the parking lot, and she does not text back. I then head home.
I drive 40 minutes each way to get to this clinic and it’s been driving me nuts on the way that this keeps happening to me (fire evacuation or not). She texted me telling me she’s sorry and I followed up telling her I’m quite frustrated. Not too sure if I’m justified in feeling annoyed because they are students.

2024.05.14 21:48 ConsistentWriting0 Excited but have a question.
I'm going solo and pretty stoked but also nervous about being solo. So to calm my nerves I've planned a pretty detailed itinerary for my days.
My question is, I really wanted to try the Ratatouille restaurant but it's booked all the days of my trip (about 2 weeks from now). Disney has a disclaimer saying some restaurants open bookings closer to the time. Is this one I might have a chance of getting into? Should I keep checking? Or maybe go on the day and pray to the Disney gods that a cancellation happens? As a solo traveler maybe they can squeeze me in - or maybe I'm delusional. Thoughts?

2024.05.14 21:47 Ace0fBats Making my own book about my special interest! (any advice welcome!)
Roughly 2 years ago I became incredibly fascinated by bats and everything they do. I started writing both general facts and detailed document on my laptop (notion). I painted some that I found pretty or especially interesting and bought all books i could find!
After about 1 year this special interest faded because the way i "interacted" with it felt dull to me... But I still get super happy when I see a bat, or someone mentions bats in any way during my day. I just absolutely adore them!!! I think I want to write a book about this special interest of mine, not only about bat facts but also about how they've helped me get through life, what they mean to me. I don't plan on publishing, because I am not a professional by any means, just an obsessed 18 year old with google, books and documentaries lol.
Would this be a good idea? And if so, are there any question or topics (etc) that I should include in this book? I'm open for all suggestions!!! Also if you've done something like this please share your experience with me, i'd love to hear all about it!
