Day 0!
5/13, total lap, took uterus, cervix, tubes, and did a bladder check.
I checked in about 840, surgery about 1040. One final pregnancy test. The staff was amazing (except the anaesthesiologist was a bit of a dick to one of the nurses, I didn’t like that-I think I might be reporting that… but he was fine to me). Even my gyno who I wasn’t a fan of during our appointments, I could tell surgery is where she was meant to be. I met my OR nurse, anaesthesiologist, and my gyno/surgeon in pre-op where every single person (plus surgical day care nurse) went over everything with me again and again, and ensured I was comfortable with what we were planning to do, and confirmed that barring any issues, my catheter would be removed during surgery, and then a camera check up the urethra and into the bladder. There was a slight hiccup in something in the lab with my pre op blood work where they listed me as a c section (ABSOLUTELY NOT) and something in the test regarding transfusion expired within 3 days and I did my pre op Thursday. I was worried it was going to delay things but since I have been fortunate and never had a transfusion (and the surgeon believed me and didn’t want her day messed up, plus they had the Thursday results) they called the lab, they were there super quick, and it was drawn up then I was wheeled in to the OR. Once in the OR they had me transfer onto the table, got me situated, introduced the surgical team, and my surgeon went over everything one last time while I was still conscious and made sure everyone was on the same page and ready to go. I was given oxygen and told to take a few deep breaths, and then they started pumping meds into my IV and I was out.
From what I hear (my surgeon called my mom/pickup person) it all went like clockwork. I was out in under two hours, into recovery to wake up and when I came to, three nurses (or health care workers, whatever their role, but I think RNs) were chatting about me near my bedside on how I had a lack of requirements before I could be discharged. I don’t think they realised or expected me to be awake so quickly but I said I had been told that as soon as I could walk to the bathroom and pee on my own, I could leave. They looked a little shocked. Not sure if because I was awake or because I knew what I needed to do.
I did say in recovery to my nurse that I felt like I needed to pee, but they wanted me to wait until the hour was up in recovery and I was transferred back to surgical day care.
Once I was in day care I was given juice, digestive cookies and my phone and started texting my mom, who was right outside, and said I was back to where she could come see me. The person at the desk at the front tried not to let her in and said I wasn’t back yet (not sure if there was a lack of communication or no) but mom insisted I was texting her and telling her I was back, and the woman from the desk had to come in and check for herself that I was back… and asked my nurse-who was again nearby-and I heard the front desk woman muttering and said something about “her mom”. I piped up and said don’t try to stop her from coming in, she won’t go away and she would get in either way, I’m texting with her now. The woman didn’t like that much, but my nurse laughed and okay’d her coming in.
Nurse back in day care listened to me pretty quick, did her checks and made she I could sit/stand and disconnected my IV line. She walked me to the bathroom to make sure I was okay. I peed without issue-it was a bit tender coming out but no burning… but man. Maybe bring your own toilet paper. That rough stuff is even rougher when you’re sensitive😳
I felt immediately better cause now I knew they could let me out once my final hour in recovery was complete. Another glass of juice, some more post op checks done, and I was able to get my IV out. (I know most people wouldn’t like IVs but it was a huge hang up for me… my veins suck and it was tender and once they confirmed I could leave I wanted it GONE.
Passed the rest of the time chatting, going over discharge paperwork/instructions, then I was given the official go ahead to change and leave. Slow going, changing, and man the hospital pads are atrocious (and no wings?!). I peed once more, hating the toilet paper but loved the mesh ish shorts they gave me and asked for a couple more, and they gave me two or three more. I was allowed to leave just after 230pm.
I was able to walk out of the hospital on my own two feet. Slowly, but walking and being upright felt much better than sitting. The nurse said it was allowed as long as mom was right there (which she obviously was) in case I got dizzy. We walked out to the front entrance (elevator, no stairs of course), and I stood at a safe spot where I could sit if I needed to, while she went and got the car from the far side of the lot. I probably could have walked it, but it was slow and didn’t want to chance anything.
The ride home was a bit rough-I forgot my pillow and I think that would have helped. Held my hands/palms onto my lower belly for some support. It was manageable, I wasn’t crying out in pain or anything, but definitely internally felt every little bump despite mom trying her best to avoid them.
I’m staying in my own apartment, (parent’s offered me to stay at theirs but I’m far more comfy in my own place, and no stairs) my dad’s sleeping on the couch while my pup is at the house with my mom and their two dogs. So far I’ve been able to manage on my own but it’s nice knowing he’s here incase I need something. When I got home, much to my dad’s chagrin (he wanted to do it for me), I made myself buttered toast, had an ice cream sandwich, some arrowroot cookies, a Tylenol and after eating upright and walking in circles a bit, I went to my bed with my heating pad, pregnancy pillow and about 8462619 other pillows I adjusted as needed. I’m very happy I had a pregnancy pillow. I was debating getting the wedges but decided with the option of Amazon same day/next day delivery, if I changed my mind it wouldn’t be long without it.
Obviously there’s more internal room now, but a heads up-I’ve peed a few times since getting home (it’s near 1am) I have noticed that “hmm I need to pee” turns quickly into “YUP GOTTA GO” when I stand up. I think that little bit extra gravity assist hits when I stand. No burning, still just a bit sensitive, but I bought a peri care bottle with a nozzle on it and is it a game changer. The hospital gave me one but it didn’t have an angled nozzle, which to me is useless unless I want to climb in my shower every time or end up with water all over my floor. First time I used it, I just rinsed with cool water multiple times as it was soothing (not going into the vagina).
There’s been very little blood so far-some spotting but not much.
The pain? Feels like a concentrated day 2 of my usual back periods, with low back pain (helped greatly with heating pad). Like most of us here… we’re used to heavy pain so it’s not all that unbearable.
I was given tramadol, and didn’t take my first one until 9pm. Didn’t love the feeling. And my limbs started tingling which was weird. That’s supposed to be a withdrawal effect. But my body doesn’t handle drugs well so could just be me. I’ll see what happens later in the night if I need something else, I’ll take it. But so far the pain/discomfort is reminding me not to sleep how i normally do-on my side with my leg up toward my abdomen.
I’ve got my naproxen and Tylenol that the pharmacy okay’d me to take instead of Advil and Tylenol.
Forgot to mention-my throat is a bit sore, but not nearly what I expected. Feels like I just spent some time around a campfire where the smoke randomly followed me. One Halls seemed to help, and of course, ice cream sandwiches 😂.

This is a short rant/general inquiry about the features available on mobile compared to desktop.
How is it that they can add the floating events to mobile that are generally quite glitchy on desktop AND mobile platforms, but not a MUCH needed and requested at least Curio Shop section to the Wshop like they have for kinzstyle outlet clothes?
I’m going to be away from home for the next near two months and don’t particularly feel like lugging around my laptop just to get my Curio Rares, daily wishes, and missing daily games (deluxe wheel, wishing well 2, jumbleberry, and spree)😭😭 over half my routine is gonna be interrupted…
On a side note to that, how can you as a company promote, promote, promote deluxe membership and features it exclusively brings, but not have the bare minimum ones available through mobile (deluxe wheel and the today’s activities tab that provides bonuses for them AND the pets of the month)?
Anybody know the reason? I know that Flash is particularly outdated and harder to use, but that cannot be the only reason, can it?

Long story not so short is basically went off from work back in October for a physical ailment ( polyps, protrusions etc) , a genetic obsessive compulsive disorder I'm trying to improve / take care of and general anxiety/social disorder. It's been hell trying to get in for surgery , paying for therapy @ $250 a session that's supposed to be weekly / biweekly and affording to live in general when I'm only being paid around 1700-1800 a month a - rent is easily almost half that. So getting into the issue, recently the LTD insurance company instead of continuing to focus on my ailment and mental health progression, is suddenly requesting I now also focus on stopping cannabis consumption all due to the fact I have mentioned to them a few times through phone interviews that its been my method of coping / useage has increased due to all these issues still being prevalent ( daily in pain in my lower regions 😅) they requested I start treating my consumption so I went to a raam clinic and got setup with resources to lower my usage, I found out last week that the LTD actually wanted me to go Into residential rehabilitation not raam to treat my useage , which is completely unnecessary / would be detrimental due to my mental heath / physical situation. So far my raam clinic dr has written a letter stating the residential treatment is not suitable for me , I'm seeing my Family Dr later today to get their support and backing on not needing the residential treatment / to remind LTD that the focus should be my ailment and mental health , because at the end of the day I've been working and consuming my whole adult life and it wasn't a prevention from working . So my question is does anyone know if the insurance company can really force this decision of treatment no matter what?, or if having my drs documentation + raam clinic documentation + psychologist could overturn them and rule out the cannabis factor? So far I've heard two sides being either they can loophole and still say cannabis = more ocd and general anxiety problems and the others saying if they disregard the documentation stating it's not a reason why he can't work, that I should seek legal counsel.

I have had this product since 2021 no problems but just recently had distortion sounds and the sound turns off and on for like milliseconds but it's consistent on the TV with using Bluetooth connection.
But with tv using the amplifier it turns of then lasts it for a while like it varies between 2-5 mins but only on like youtube and watching stuff on my sdd like anime and stuff but not on youtube for some reason anyone know a fix to this or should just buy another one ?
Sorry for grama English is not my main language

Prologue

Hello and welcome to my post. I will subdivide this into two large parts. One will cover my thoughts, feelings, my hopes and dreams...While the other will tell you the specifics of how I pass the time, what topics interest me, what passions do I posses. I believe that at the end of this leap into my inner world, you dear reader, will have all the necessary information to judge whether we are compatible or not.

Part I
I am writing this in the hopes of finding something that I lack. Lately I have had this feeling, this tinge of melancholy within the dephts of my being, this yearning to find a kindred spirit, another Soul, much like mine, to form a bond with. Perhaps Loneliness is the right word for what is bothering me, but to use it seems to carry with it a connotation of ungratefulness. Ungratefulness for the people that I do have in my life, although none of them, of course, have the connection to me that I seek here.

I have found it increasingly necessary to seek in this Life a sort of purity of thought. What I mean is, I have began to undestand what ideas and concepts are ultimately compatible with my inner most Self, ergo what guidelines I have to follow to feel the most whole. Naturally I have likewise realised what I cannot add to my Self and what I will henceforth reject with all the power that I posses.

With this new context in mind, I now follow on the path of self improvement. I will now begin to mold my Self into my perfected idea of how the Self should be. This is certainly a significant undertaking, one that will not be easy to follow through on but one that I ultimately have to do. To me such context is essential. It is akin to a Guiding Star shining in the night. I will follow this Star for without it I am lost in the vast Darkness.

Looking back at my life, it was suboptimal, especially if one compares the way it molded me to how I will now mold myself. I suppose I must look on with a hint of regret at all that time which one might consider to be lost. Still... I try to stave off such decisively negative interpretations, after all, I have ultimately came to these conclusions. That means that somewhere along the line I had to have picked up on enough of such ideas for them to become so cemented in my consciousness. Well, either that or I was always like this, but in that case I can at least thank my life up to this point for not being able to supress such manifestations of my inner most Self.

To add to the topic of my life, I must admit that not all the battles have yet been won, not all the Demons vanquished, not every Mountain climbed. I want you to keep such things in mind when deciding whether or not to approach me. Many will shy away, I undestand that much, but the pursuit of true Companionship is just another such battle. Having said all that I do believe that being able to overcome hurdles together carries with it a certain appeal. That is to say, what's the fun in joining once the Game is already over?

I don't shy away from such challenges, perhaps to a fault. Certain troubles that I faced in the past carry with them a long shadow over my current health and well being. Still, I intend to change little in this regard other than the proficiency with which I will clash the current of my Will against the cliffs of Life.
Part II
In this part of my post I will tell you about my interests and hobbies, I will try to be thorough, commonality in this regard is rather important to build a relationship
History. I have had an interest in history for almost a decade now, it started back in school and developed from there. Well, now that I think about it one could argue that it started even earlier in my life as I liked watching the odd historic documentary or film aired on television but it wasn't regular back then, I never actively sought it out. I am mostly interested in European history in the period between the 18th-20th century but I sometimes branch out to other time periods and other parts of the world. I watch various channels related to history and read articles and sometimes books. I have recently got a few books on the German revolution of 1848/1849 and a historical magazine on the Thirty Years' War. Besides that I try to visit museums sometimes.
Literature. Especially old novels. I like to immerse myself in the Worlds of these books, I tend to read them while listening to thematically fitting music and take my time with them. One time you are following a troubled Youth in his quest for spiritual understanding of the world, another you see the aged and decrepit Doctor gambling his very Soul on the promises of abtaining satisfaction in earthy pleasures, then again your olfaction notices the most pleasant scent known to man even as the one eminating it has the appearance of a revolting Frog. These and many other stories open up to you once you decide to set foot into the literary World.
Languages. I know three, with one being a bit rusty. I am currently working intently on strengthening it. I believe that if I continue to apply myself in this regard then I should be able to finally conquer it. What language am I working on? Well, if you were to stack all the major works in it they would be as tall as a house... It is fun to go through different works in multiple languages, the same goes for film, games and such.
Games. I recently played Cyberpunk 2077. Well as recently as I played any major story centric game. Now that the dust has settled and the bugs mostly removed...It's not that bad. The main questline at least. Besides that I tried Fallout 76 (Very average, I'm dissapointed with what they made the "RPG" system) and I might give Deus Ex Manking Divided another spin (since it's somewhat similar to Cyberpunk when it comes to its aesthetics). Dark Souls is one of my favorite series, I still haven't beaten Elden Ring though. When it came out I wasn't in the right mindset to invest a hundred hours into it, with all those bosses and difficult locations. I think I'll only consider playing it if I am streaming it to someone. I am generally interested in either streaming games or having the person I am talking to stream them to me. To be specific I mean streaming to a single person while being on call. Besides that I'm a big fan of Paradox strategy games, especially Europa Universalis IV and Heats of Iron IV, I tend to only play single player since I find multiplayer with many people to be rather stressful but on the other hand I have nothing against a co-op game. I'm not the best player though, despite the ammount of hours I have in them. Another great game I would mention would be Dragon's Dogma. A very underrated RPG. I recently beat it again and it was an atmospheric and interesting experience. It is one of those games that feel like they have an endless ammount of depth and constant new secrets to discover.
Anime and Manga. In recent times my interest in them has waned but I still watch the occasional series here and there. Like Cyberpunk Edgerunners (Which I found to be rather mediocre) and the very good first season from the new arc of Bleach. Some of my favourite series include: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note, Fate;Zero, Psycho Pass, Code Geass and Attack on Titan. I wouldn't mind if you were to introduce me to some new series, maybe based on the ones I mentioned. My favourite Manga is Berserk which I still follow, althought I am still not certain on the direction that the new author is taking. I suppose it really is a matter of contention whether a somewhat (or considerably warped) vision is better than an unfinished work. One could argue that a few novels remain unfinished and possess a macabre appeal to them as such.
Music. Classical music has a very special place in my heart. A few of my favourite pieces would be: Clair de Lune, Nocturne Op. 9 No.2, Devil's Trill Sonata, Danse Macabre, Valse Sentimentale, Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92: II. Alegreto (by Beethoven) and Suite from Swan Lake, Op. 20a: I. Scene. Moderato. There are more but these ones always invoke something in me when I listen to them. Besides Classical I also enjoy listening to Synthwave, old Western pop and J-pop, both modern and from the 20th century.
Esotericism. I am interested in things spiritual, mystical, magical and esoteric. I have read religios texts, magical grimoires, introductions to various schools of thought. It is interesting to me.
Epilogue
Hopefully I was able to cast the spotlight upon my inner World in a clear and unequivocal manner. I feel the need to add to the aforementioned that I am rather introverted, which means that I tend to dislike large social gatherings. I managed to condition myself to be able to endure the presense of large groups of people but it isn't something that I would seek out in most cases. Besides that I am neurodivergent and suffer from certain issues with mental health. I have to take medication to keep myself under control. They work well enough but certain days are harder than others. I respect the struggle that others have with mental health but in the context of a relationship I have my limits, no one with BDP for instance. I am also not looking for anything casual. I understand than one cannot demand depth and meaning from a conversation with an absolute stranger, that is akin to trying to build a sand castle right before the waves strike but I ask at least that you enter with a mindset that this might become something of significance. I also do want to say that I am completely Monogamous. My preference? The sickly, pale, intellectual who watches rain droplets slide down the window in Autumn. Lastly, if I enjoy the company of a person I tend to not want to let them go.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and have a good day. I ask that you send a DM instead of a chat and that you give your thoughts on my title in the opening of your message.
Goodbye...Or perhaps untill we meet again

Are 68×68mm wooden posts thick enough for a pull up bar? They would be 190 cm tall. Should I use extra posts on each side to reinforce the whole thing?

The Timberwolves face 2 main issues since the end of game 2. The Monte Morris ankle injury and the decision of moving Kat off of Jokic.
The Morris ankle injury is huge because it affects both the offense and the defense. In game 3 the attempt was made to bring in Jordan McLaughlin. Unfortunately the nuggets were aware that he had played no meaningful minutes so far in the playoffs and exposed him on the defensive end, so that didn't work. The other option the wolves used is to have NAW be the other primary ball handler... Issue with that is now he has to expend energy and effort bring the ball up the court when Conley's not in the game. The nuggets pounced on this and made sure he was met at least right before mid court if not 3/4 court leaving less energy to focus on guarding Murray and navigating around screens like in games 1&2 vs through them in games 3&4. The TimberPuppies could help relieve some of the ball handling duties to Jaden McDaniels. He did it a lot at Washington and he did a little bit when the Wolves drafted him. They have to figure something out so NAW doesn't have to spend so much energy bring the ball up and initiating offense so he can focus more of his energy on defense... Imposing some real Naw and Order in the west... So w/ Monte out you either have no primary ball handler when Conley's out or NAW does it and he can't focus on being NAW...
The decision to take Kat off of Jokic to guard Gordan because he's making 3s was a real bad decision. Kat is not a very good defender, and he never has been, but that's ok... Jokic is going to yoke on anyone in the league who tries to guard him one on one... anyone (Rudy included). So the best place in our defensive scheme is for Kat to be on him. Kat can move with him and all he has to do is focus on staying between him and the basket (hopefully try not to get silly fouls), and make him expend energy and work for those 30+-5 he's going to get either way but while trying to to keep his assists down. There are usually 3 to 4 other good experienced defenders on the floor who knows where to be, so they can keep everybody else from getting easy shots. Rudy was great when Gordan was in the dunker spot because as an experienced defender he would know when to leave his man to come help and where to be. Now that Gordan is hitting 3s, who cares. He's shooting an unrealistic 8 for 9 where you just tip your hat to him and make adjustments on how you help a little more on the perimeter. I don't see him going 14 for 15 or 19 for 20 total by the end of the next couple of games, so let him keep shooting them. Kat's not making the best decisions on when to leave him to help, which gives Gordan those wide open dunker spot dunks on top of the 3s. Rudy on Jokic is going to get torched w/ Kat out of position to do anything defensively meaningful when a shot (usually wide open) goes up... Kat on Jokic w/ Rudy helping will also probably get torched... but it keeps Kat in a better position to be doing something meaningful on the defensive end. It puts him in position to rebound and/or at least apply some resistance during the play as opposed to being completely out of position and leaving a man open for a shot or dunk.
How would you handle the absence of Montes ball handling duties (if he can't go in game 5) and where would you put Kat on defense..?

Felt the need to share this experience since it was so awesome.
I landed on a planet to confirm some death for a mission. I drank water and ate before I stepped off my redeemer. I made it a little ways before noticing I wasn’t wearing my helmet. Then I died LOL
I respawned at a small station. I claimed my ship and headed back this time with my trusty helmet tightly secured.
I was a few kilometers out when I came under attack by 4 vessels. Idk what ships they were but they seemed to pilot too well for ai. I had a criminal status for shooting sentries for a mission prior. (Even though I’m pretty sure it was a legal mission) idk
They blew my wing off and I slowly started to lose altitude on the way at full speed. I popped open my hatch and b lined for the mission objective site. As I slowly was going down at a high rate of speed I skimmed off the top of a mountain. Upon meeting the ground I began to tumble.
Once my ship came to a stop on its side I moved to the nearest exit. As I stepped out of the ship I came out standing next to my other redeemer. SICK! I thought. Anyways I ran into the objective to find the individual in question. But I was freezing to death and had to abandon my search.
I made my way onto my first ship when the sound of bullets slamming into my ship started. Hopped in the drivers seat and started it up. As I got off the ground my rear stabilizers broken off.
I boosted to make it through the atmosphere to save my skin. At this point I’ve taken heavy damage again, but I made the quantum jump to a random location pretty far away. Phew thought I was safe. I touched down at a research facility. I realized there was nothing for me there so back in the ship I go.
As I leave the armistice zone same ships show up again haha (at this point I was like f it no more running LETS DO IT) Our battle took us high into the atmosphere. Exchanging rounds and missles. Ultimately I’m out numbered and out gunned. I make way for the ship exit again. As I just get down the ladder I can see out of the back into space. Then boom it’s over. Annnnd then I wake up in prison.
All that…
All that was such a fun experience. I was cheesin the whole time. 10/10 would do again

I've been T1 for over 30 years. I also have "high insulin resistance", and for years I've been using two 21 unit basal shots per day, and a carb ratio of 2.5 bolus units to 10g of carbs.
Or, at least those were my numbers until bowel surgery about a month ago.
The hospital diabetes nurse recommended that, post op, I start with a basal of 5 and a bolus of 1:10, gradually increasing as needed, while my plumbing and appetite settled down.
A month later, I'm eating normally, and healing well. But my insulin numbers are still crazy low compared to pre-op. I've settled on a basal of 12 units, twice a day, and a bolus of 1 unit to 10g of carb. My sensor readings are as good, if not slightly better than before.
I'm certainly not complaining, but I'm curious if this insulin reset is a common side effect of abdominal surgery? Is this now my "new normal?"
​

Ive been dating her for about 6 months.
Gotta straight out say it, I'm the grade A douchebag in this situation, so let's get this out of the way. We met on hinge, I wasn't attracted to her in the slightest, let's be real, appearance wise I'm way above her league. but I've been on hinge for two years without even a second date at the time, I just want a gf so bad so I went out with her.
After 2 months or so she ask me to go exclusive with her, during that entire two months Ive gotten zero matches, like I sent out all the likes everyday and zero matches. I didn't know what to say so I was like, ok you are my exclusive gf now. She dreamed about me taking her to her favorite park, bought her her favorite dessert, and asking her to be her official boyfriend, and wouldn't' let the dream go. Well, I feel bad for her so I did exactly just that, the way she smiled almost made me convinced that I actually like her. But umm I still have hinge on my tablet (hidden at home) rn, but can't cheat when there's no matches. You can bad name me in the comments or whatever. But this is the context.
So, obviously she deserves someone who's actually attracted to her and can make her happy for the rest of her life. I'm not that guy, my preferences aside, I don't want children like ever they are disgusting, but she wants children and gets baby fever all the time. She's religious, I think religion is just crazy people preaching about a fictional character and it makes no sense. She wants to get married before 30, I don't feel like marrying anytime soon. She wants to move to the other side of the country, I want stay here. She's a cat person, I like dogs. My asian parents would never accept me dating a black girl so I've been hiding her from them and social media. And my friends keep teasing me nonstop about dating an ugly girl. This is a dead end relationship, I don't do short term relationships so I cannot remain in a relationship that I know is not gonna work long term.
But, she's super into me, and is extremely dependent on me. She's working two jobs and studying, and is nearly broke, can hardly make ends meet. She cry herself to bed like every week, and always vent to me about how she feel so inadequate, other girls look so pretty in their summer dresses with nice skin and skinny body makes her so jealous, her parents abusing her and bodyshame her (tbh her parents kinda have a point), not having a single friend, both her ex cheated on her and SAed her, she's so worried that she will fail out of school, working both jobs is so physically and mentally draining, and all that. She attempted suicide 5 months before meeting me, so there's that too.
On top of that, she told me over and over, that meeting me is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to her in her entire life. That I'm 100% her type, I'm the k-drama male lead in the k-drama that is her life, end quote. That since I agree to be her bf, she's been feeling motivated in life for the first time. That I'm the only person in her life that she can talk to, because she has no friends and her parents despite her. That I am 100% the man of her dreams, and everyday she feel so blessed having me in her life. If I don't text her every hour she gets anxious and starts to panic, she can only sleep when I do a video call and put the camera towards me the entire night so she knows that I'm "beside" her as she sleep.
Well, when being told all that, I can't exactly just break up with her. I just....feel so bad? I've been brainstorming nonstop for the past month on how exactly I can break up with her while keeping the devastation to her at a minimum. I would feel guilty for life if she just offed herself after I break up with her. She has no friends, and her parents despite her, so I can't text anyone to take care of her after I break up with her. We go to the same school too and she knows my workplace, so I'll 100% bump into her multiple times post break up.
Bro someone plz help me out, im trapped.

Hi guys, I (m20) feel like I've been getting dumber and dumber over the past 5 or more years. I can't concentrate properly on solving relatively simple tasks, especially calculations in school. I usually look at the task, try to understand it and get overwhelmed by the complexity of the task. I feel like my brain has rotted from the huge media consumption, especially YouTube, Instagram... I wish I could throw my phone at the wall but it's still such an important tool. I don't want to blame anyone because ultimately everyone is responsible for their actions, consumption and life but it's so addictive to scroll through YouTube shorts or Instagram reels because it's easy, interesting, entertaining etc. I can't bring myself to do concentration-intensive tasks like reading or studying. For example, when I read task descriptions in some exams I forget things before they even enter my short-term memory. It wanders around and makes me think about everything else but what I'm trying to think about at the moment. I think the essence of this text corresponds to the common problems of Generation Z. What can I do about it? My countermeasures are the healthy implementation of good habits into my life and mindfulness, but I'm not ambitious enough because I'm used to short-term gratification, not long-term, and I can't imagine where I will be in the future and where I could be if I embark on this approach because I don't even know if it's the right one.
I read Atomic Habits, High on Life and Can't hurt me but as I mentioned I forget most of what I read.

Hey ticktick community,
I've been considering fully integrating TickTick into my daily routine and I'm torn between using the web app and the Windows app. Could anyone share their experiences with both? I'm particularly interested in features like speed, user interface, and overall functionality. Any insights on which platform provides a smoother and more efficient workflow would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

A few days ago, Meta released a new large language model, Llama 3. The model contains both 8 billion (8B) and 70 billion (70B) parameters.
It is reported that along with the release of Llama 3, Qualcomm said that it has entered into a cooperation with Meta, and in the future, the optimized Llama 3 can be directly run on smartphones, PCs, VAR headsets and automobiles equipped with Snapdragon platforms and other terminals.
Around the AI field, Qualcomm has built the AI Hub, which provides about 100 optimized AI models, which can facilitate developers to quickly develop as well as land the corresponding AI capabilities. Qualcomm said the partnership aims to empower OEMs and developers, further develop end-side AI, and drive the popularization of generative AI capabilities.
3D rendering AI models InstantMesh online
Tencent followed suit by releasing InstantMesh, a new AI model that renders 3D objects using still photos.
InstantMesh is said to be an upgrade of Tencent’s old Instant3D framework, which combines a multi-view diffusion model with sparse view reconstruction of 3D objects based on the Large Reconstruction Model (LRM) architecture. Currently, Tencent has open-sourced this AI model InstantMesh model on Hugging Face so that developers can test its generation efficiency.
In addition, Tencent has launched a results preview application where modelling enthusiasts can add photos and preview their 3D renderings. According to research data, InstantMesh outperforms SV3D on Google Scanning Objects (GSO) and OmniObject3D (Omni3D) orbital views.
Currently, the curtain of the new decade-level technological and industrial revolution of AI has been opened, with phenomenal breakout products such as ChatGPT and SORA appearing, and software giants such as Microsoft (MSFT) and Adobe (ADBE) launching commercialized products.
Conclusion
The year 2024, as the first year of AI native application, coupled with years of technical accumulation and product operation capabilities of global manufacturers, has achieved a subversive and innovative application of large models and opened up the chain from evolution to realization of large models.
In the future, large models will continue to lead a new round of artificial intelligence change. The industry generally believes that the big model is the core engine towards AGI general artificial intelligence, which will bring another leap in artificial intelligence, or become the focus of global technology competition. It is hoped that major technology companies will continue to attack the core technology, plough into the AI industry, bring more people a convenient, comfortable and technology-oriented living experience, help develop an open, win-win and sustainable AI industrial ecosystem, and truly bring AI into thousands of industries and households.

Disclaimer: I am a bit anti-establishment and am only interested in comments from people that can show me how to do thing not tell me why I can't

I bought a plot of land about a year ago and haven't done anything with it and now have time on my hands for a project. It is zoned for Rural Coastal 2 in Los Angeles County. I interested in learning about what I can build without a permit and ways to skirt about regulation. It is close to utilities. I would just have to set up septic.
Here are my ideas:

1. Build an accessory unit under 120 square feet
2. Given that the land hasn't been touched for 20 years and the buyers have never even looked at the property, I was thinking of installing septic unpermitted and if anyone asks, I will say I found that the land actually had an old septic system and permits are not required to update existing septic.
3. Work on permitting while I live in the "accessory unit"
4. Use solar for power

Does anyone have advice on this?

I wonder if anyone of you is using Bun in a prod environment already? I was planning to migrate one of my projects to it, but not sure if that is that "ready".
Let me know your thoughts!

Are 68×68mm wooden posts thick enough for a self standing pull up bar? They would be 190 cm tall. Should I use side posts for extra reinforcement?

I've been thinking of investing into a new phone I'd only use for gaming, while I'd keep my current one for everything else. I'm using a Huawei P30 Lite now and most games run fine on it if I get the graphic settings right but I usually have to sacrifice either FPS or Resolution for it to be smooth, and since I play mobile games a lot, I wanted to play in good quality too. I'm aware that buying a good laptop would probably be more worth it but it's way too expensive, so not really an option right now.
I mostly play Gacha games that'd need to run smoothly - things like Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Wuthering Waves, etc etc. I want to play with high setting AND high FPS and still have it be very smooth. I don't know if that's possible with my budget but I could probably find something that's at least better than my current Huawei, hopefully? Especially now that Genshin is upgrading their visuals and therefore device requirements relatively soon, I think it's a good time to finally buy a better phone to play. I think I don't really have any other criteria since I'd be keeping my regular phone too, so I just want it to be able to handle these types of games well, not have the absolute shittiest battery life or sound quality, and don't overheat like crazy while playing. Oh and obviously enough storage too because these games take up a lot.
My budget is around $270-340, I really don't want to go higher than that, but if anyone knows a really good phone that's not too much more expensive, then feel free to suggest that too. Also because the prices could be different in my currency, so I guess suggest anything up to $400 and I'll see if I can afford it. Thanks!

I felt kind and i had a lot of age potions so when they were looking for someone to pet sit i asked if they were willing to trade it to me in order to use the potion.
