2024.05.14 09:34 Pimasterjimmy Tales of Zippy and Friends: Katniss the keeper of pens. (Boomer tries to get me fired for Handing her a sticker)(tw: suicide)
My last post went over surprisingly well, that said you should check out my new subreddit Talesofzippy for more content, because I'm definitely going to posting in more places around reddit and I'll be cross posting them in the tales sub for more people to enjoy!
With that, I don't remember any good stories about Zippy, but the place I work at is fucking filled with loonies, so tonight I'm going to introduce you to Katniss.
Katniss is about 63, tiny, and absolutely loved to talk about how good her guns are, even if she can't shoot or generally understand how they work. She tried to tell me that her Girsan was a high quality gun because the barrel is pinned in place.
I'm a competitive shooter, I grew up shooting and learning about guns.
When a pistol fires a round, a floating barrel will be pointed at an upward angle at the end of the stroke, while a pinned barrel doesn't. The floating barrel doesn't effect accuracy in any meaningful way because it is held in place by several seers, and doesn't begin to move until well after the bullet is out of the gun.
I tried to explain that, she didn't listen. She also can't shoot. Katniss.
She also wears boomer shirts about "snowflakes" and shares memes about the good old days when you could say whatever you want and be offensive.
This gets funny later.
Katniss and I worked together running gas pumps, and we generally got along great, in fact for a year I considered her to be a friend.
And then my dad killed himself.
I got the call at work and got a ride home as quickly as possible. Katniss was on shift with me and Yawn, who is the most chill person you can imagine.
They were incredible, Katniss broke into my apartment (at my request) and took my shotgun for safe keeping. She also took my keys and made me wait for a family friend to pick me up.
I called the night manager and told him I was going home and why, He offered me a ride.
I came into work three days later and stuck my head into my boss (Elk Daddy's) office. He simply said "how long do you need?"
"Two weeks."
"Okay."
I mention this because Anything less than this is a cancerous work environment. If a manager tries to negotiate with you when you've experienced a true tragedy, they're not a manager, they're a slave driver.
I had severe PTSD, nightmares, the whole shabang, for months I would stand at the desk and hear my mom's voice telling me my dad was dead, the first night back at work I witnessed some dumb janitorial drama (not zippy) and I started smelling the sickly sweet smell of human brain before I ran home and had my first panic attack.
(I'll tell the story of Elk Daddy, and make good on a promise I made my dad as a bonus at the end.)
Six months passed, my PTSD wasn't even beginning to heal, and she pulled me aside.
"Okay. It's time to stop now."
"Stop what?"
"This, you're in a rut, and you need to get out of it. It's high time you moved on and stopped being sad and moved on. See my sister was in a car accident and went into a coma when I was about 20, and I had a dream about her getting up and walking out of her hospital room and saying "it's about fucking time." The next day her heart gave out and she finally died. It was this freeing thing for me, because I felt like she was finally free of the broken body and the pain."
"Katniss I just don't feel like I'm... There yet. I'm still hurting, and I really don't feel like I'm ready to let him go. Things aren't that easy."
She didn't like that answer.
At the time I just felt broken, and just laid there and took it, but today I'm genuinely angry about it.
I was hurt, and now that I've rebuilt myself I realized how truly broken I was as a person.
She had no right to say anything to me about how it was time to stop. I'm still healing four years on.
That was when we stopped being friends.
Last year I was going through stickers for our local pride, the second one our community has ever had! I had come out as bi the year before, and had a side project that had grown large enough to have a booth at the local event. I was showing off some cool and funny stickers to Yawn, another cashier.
Yawn is great, he has no blood pressure, everything is just really cool and chill, and he really just wanted to be friends with everyone.
Genuinely nice person. I always get him a Christmas gift and he's always grateful, no matter what it is.
I turned around and handed a sticker to Katniss that said "be gay, so crime" with a little picture of a fabulous criminal goose on it.
She took one look at it and just went "No" rather forcefully, so I just backed off and moved on.
The next day my boss, Elk Daddy, calls me over.
"Op, you handed Katniss a sticker yesterday, and I just want to tell you. Stop talking to her. Please. For me."
"She really complained about that?"
"No, she threatened to go to HR because you "assumed her orientation" and tried to give her a sticker."
It is at this point that I'd like to add that Elk Daddy is gay. Like... Really gay. Him and his husband both donate their time and money to pride, and have been instrumental in making it happen. They are the gay uncles that stepped up to be dads for their nephews when Elk Daddy's brother couldn't.
He knows Katniss, and both of us know her HUSBAND.
So. We didn't talk outside of necessary conversations, and haven't really said anything to each other for any reason.... Until I transferred to my current department and ran out of pens.
I walked over to the cashier desk "hey Katniss, can I get a handful of pens? I ran out."
"I gave three to morning shift last night, what happened to those?"
"I don't know, and it doesn't matter, can I get some?"
Yawn walked over to the drawer where we keep the pens and opened it, while Katniss sighs and opens up her drawer and drops a pen on the counter.
"Come on Katniss, I need more than that."
"I don't have that many pens, they're not giving them to us, here, this is all I have."
She angrily throws down two more pins on the counter as Yawn retrieves an entire box of pens from the drawer and begins walking over. She sees him and motions for him to stop."
"Don't fucking bullshit me Katniss, I see Yawn with the box. Just give me some pens."
She drops six more down on the counter, I take them and walk off. "Thank you."
Ten minutes later she comes over to the deli and slams a box of pens down on the counter for me
"Don't ask me for pens again."
"Wouldn't have it any other way."
She then told the MOD that I cussed her out. I told my side, and several people in the management chain pointed out that she wore tee shirts under her uniform that said more offensive things, one of them even saying "don't fucking bullshit me."
She is no longer allowed to wear her tee shirts.
She's also had it pointed out to her that she says "don't fucking bullshit me" all the time, and management has gently reminded her that she should not swear.
A few weeks ago she very dejectedly told me that she was done trying to help people, and I had to bite back a "good, we don't need it."
And here we are... End of another post about the weird boomers I work with.
BONUS STORIES!
As for Elk Daddy.
My boss has only ever taken his husband out hunting one time. When they did, they ended up trekking across the country on deer trails and through the brush. After 12 hours of being dragged through the brush and not shooting anything, his husband said something to the effect of "I hate this. I can't keep up with you and you just disappear all the goddamn time." He took my boss's phone, logged in, and yells "in fact HEY SIRI, FROM NOW ON CALL ME ELK DADDY."
nickname earned. He has it monogramed on his wallet.
And finally, my dad, who was another Boomer, used to love taking me out camping.
He was an electrical engineer, and was most certainly on the spectrum. He was brilliant in his own way, but absolutely unhinged when it came to teaching things.
A lecture from my dad could cover cleaning the stove (with diagrams on proper wiping techniques) to the finer points of building and firing a nuclear weapon. (With math included. No mercy.)
He tried to teach me calculus when I was six. It didn't work.
Anyway, on this particular camping trip he pulled me aside and said "op, I want you to make me a fire using nothing but two sticks, your knife, a match and the chainsaw"
Now. I knew where he was coming from, he wanted me to make a fuzz stick. I knew because he had only brought up the topic of making a fuzz stick every night for the past three days of camping. He then very helpfully added "and the chainsaw is a distraction."
Uh huh. Okay dad.
I Start cutting up the wood and making a teepee fire, and I hear a little "hmph" I look up and I see the smile. The grin he used to get as he started planning one of his little lectures. He was picking out the right words, deciding if he needed to demonstrate or just use a pen and paper.
I then opened up the gas tank on the chainsaw, dumped in a tablespoon of gas, lit the match and "whoof"
Fire.
Then the argument began.
"I said you couldn't use gas!"
"You said I could use the chainsaw, that includes the gas tank!"
"The chainsaw was a distraction!"
"Still gave it to me!"
"You cheated!!!"
"How?"
Long pause.
"I won, admit it. I beat you in a way you didn't expect. You will never live this down. I'll tell this story at your funeral!"
And I did. Three years later I tore up my hastily scribbled notes and told a group of the friends, neighbors and coworkers that he knew and loved about the time I finally beat him. We laughed.
I think he'd be proud, and a little indignant.
I miss you dad.

"How?"
Long pause.
"I won, admit it. I beat you in a way you didn't expect. You will never live this down. I'll tell this story at your funeral!"
And I did. Three years later I tore up my hastily scribbled notes and told a group of the friends, neighbors and coworkers that he knew and loved about the time I finally beat him. We laughed.
I think he'd be proud, and a little indignant.
I miss you dad.

With that, I don't remember any good stories about Zippy, but the place I work at is fucking filled with loonies, so tonight I'm going to introduce you to Katniss.
Katniss is about 63, tiny, and absolutely loved to talk about how good her guns are, even if she can't shoot or generally understand how they work. She tried to tell me that her Girsan was a high quality gun because the barrel is pinned in place.
I'm a competitive shooter, I grew up shooting and learning about guns.
When a pistol fires a round, a floating barrel will be pointed at an upward angle at the end of the stroke, while a pinned barrel doesn't. The floating barrel doesn't effect accuracy in any meaningful way because it is held in place by several seers, and doesn't begin to move until well after the bullet is out of the gun.
I tried to explain that, she didn't listen. She also can't shoot. Katniss.
She also wears boomer shirts about "snowflakes" and shares memes about the good old days when you could say whatever you want and be offensive.
This gets funny later.
Katniss and I worked together running gas pumps, and we generally got along great, in fact for a year I considered her to be a friend.
And then my dad killed himself.
I got the call at work and got a ride home as quickly as possible. Katniss was on shift with me and Yawn, who is the most chill person you can imagine.
They were incredible, Katniss broke into my apartment (at my request) and took my shotgun for safe keeping. She also took my keys and made me wait for a family friend to pick me up.
I called the night manager and told him I was going home and why, He offered me a ride.
I came into work three days later and stuck my head into my boss (Elk Daddy's) office. He simply said "how long do you need?"
"Two weeks."
"Okay."
I mention this because Anything less than this is a cancerous work environment. If a manager tries to negotiate with you when you've experienced a true tragedy, they're not a manager, they're a slave driver.
I had severe PTSD, nightmares, the whole shabang, for months I would stand at the desk and hear my mom's voice telling me my dad was dead, the first night back at work I witnessed some dumb janitorial drama (not zippy) and I started smelling the sickly sweet smell of human brain before I ran home and had my first panic attack.
(I'll tell the story of Elk Daddy, and make good on a promise I made my dad as a bonus at the end.)
Six months passed, my PTSD wasn't even beginning to heal, and she pulled me aside.
"Okay. It's time to stop now."
"Stop what?"
"This, you're in a rut, and you need to get out of it. It's high time you moved on and stopped being sad and moved on. See my sister was in a car accident and went into a coma when I was about 20, and I had a dream about her getting up and walking out of her hospital room and saying "it's about fucking time." The next day her heart gave out and she finally died. It was this freeing thing for me, because I felt like she was finally free of the broken body and the pain."
"Katniss I just don't feel like I'm... There yet. I'm still hurting, and I really don't feel like I'm ready to let him go. Things aren't that easy."
She didn't like that answer.
At the time I just felt broken, and just laid there and took it, but today I'm genuinely angry about it.
I was hurt, and now that I've rebuilt myself I realized how truly broken I was as a person.
She had no right to say anything to me about how it was time to stop. I'm still healing four years on.
That was when we stopped being friends.
Last year I was going through stickers for our local pride, the second one our community has ever had! I had come out as bi the year before, and had a side project that had grown large enough to have a booth at the local event. I was showing off some cool and funny stickers to Yawn, another cashier.
Yawn is great, he has no blood pressure, everything is just really cool and chill, and he really just wanted to be friends with everyone.
Genuinely nice person. I always get him a Christmas gift and he's always grateful, no matter what it is.
I turned around and handed a sticker to Katniss that said "be gay, do crime" with a little picture of a fabulous criminal goose on it.
She took one look at it and just went "No" rather forcefully, so I just backed off and moved on.
The next day my boss, Elk Daddy, calls me over.
"Op, you handed Katniss a sticker yesterday, and I just want to tell you. Stop talking to her. Please. For me."
"She really complained about that?"
"No, she threatened to go to HR because you "assumed her orientation" and tried to give her a sticker."
It is at this point that I'd like to add that Elk Daddy is gay. Like... Really gay. Him and his husband both donate their time and money to pride, and have been instrumental in making it happen. They are the gay uncles that stepped up to be dads for their nephews when Elk Daddy's brother couldn't.
He knows Katniss, and both of us know her HUSBAND.
So. We didn't talk outside of necessary conversations, and haven't really said anything to each other for any reason.... Until I transferred to my current department and ran out of pens.
I walked over to the cashier desk "hey Katniss, can I get a handful of pens? I ran out."
"I gave three to morning shift last night, what happened to those?"
"I don't know, and it doesn't matter, can I get some?"
Yawn walked over to the drawer where we keep the pens and opened it, while Katniss sighs and opens up her drawer and drops a pen on the counter.
"Come on Katniss, I need more than that."
"I don't have that many pens, they're not giving them to us, here, this is all I have."
She angrily throws down two more pins on the counter as Yawn retrieves an entire box of pens from the drawer and begins walking over. She sees him and motions for him to stop."
"Don't fucking bullshit me Katniss, I see Yawn with the box. Just give me some pens."
She drops six more down on the counter, I take them and walk off. "Thank you."
Ten minutes later she comes over to the deli and slams a box of pens down on the counter for me
"Don't ask me for pens again."
"Wouldn't have it any other way."
She then told the MOD that I cussed her out. I told my side, and several people in the management chain pointed out that she wore tee shirts under her uniform that said more offensive things, one of them even saying "don't fucking bullshit me."
She is no longer allowed to wear her tee shirts.
She's also had it pointed out to her that she says "don't fucking bullshit me" all the time, and management has gently reminded her that she should not swear.
A few weeks ago she very dejectedly told me that she was done trying to help people, and I had to bite back a "good, we don't need it."
And here we are... End of another post about the weird boomers I work with.
BONUS STORIES!
As for Elk Daddy.
My boss has only ever taken his husband out hunting one time. When they did, they ended up trekking across the country on deer trails and through the brush. After 12 hours of being dragged through the brush and not shooting anything, his husband said something to the effect of "I hate this. I can't keep up with you and you just disappear all the goddamn time." He took my boss's phone, logged in, and yells "in fact HEY SIRI, FROM NOW ON CALL ME ELK DADDY."
nickname earned. He has it monogramed on his wallet.
And finally, my dad, who was another Boomer, used to love taking me out camping.
He was an electrical engineer, and was most certainly on the spectrum. He was brilliant in his own way, but absolutely unhinged when it came to teaching things.
A lecture from my dad could cover cleaning the stove (with diagrams on proper wiping techniques) to the finer points of building and firing a nuclear weapon. (With math included. No mercy.)
He tried to teach me calculus when I was six. It didn't work.
Anyway, on this particular camping trip he pulled me aside and said "op, I want you to make me a fire using nothing but two sticks, your knife, a match and the chainsaw"
Now. I knew where he was coming from, he wanted me to make a fuzz stick. I knew because he had only brought up the topic of making a fuzz stick every night for the past three days of camping. He then very helpfully added "and the chainsaw is a distraction."
Uh huh. Okay dad.
I Start cutting up the wood and making a teepee fire, and I hear a little "hmph" I look up and I see the smile. The grin he used to get as he started planning one of his little lectures. He was picking out the right words, deciding if he needed to demonstrate or just use a pen and paper.
I then opened up the gas tank on the chainsaw, dumped in a tablespoon of gas, lit the match and "whoof"
Fire.
Then the argument began.
"I said you couldn't use gas!"
"You said I could use the chainsaw, that includes the gas tank!"
"The chainsaw was a distraction!"
"Still gave it to me!"
"You cheated!!!"
"How?"
Long pause.
"I won, admit it. I beat you in a way you didn't expect. You will never live this down. I'll tell this story at your funeral!"
And I did. Three years later I tore up my hastily scribbled notes and told a group of the friends, neighbors and coworkers that he knew and loved about the time I finally beat him. We laughed.

2024.05.14 09:22 pineapple-monk Legs and feet pain, much worse to what it used to be?
Hi. 38F, 200lbs, 5ft2”, raised blood pressure. No other health issues that I am aware of.
Work pattern: half sitting, half standing, work around 9.5hrs, so on my feet quite a bit. I have noticed for the last couple of months that my feet and legs are becoming so sore (sometimes after just one day of work) that it is becoming slightly concerning now because I worry that due to me being obese it could be something to do with blood circulation or somethint. I try to rest my legs as much as I can at home but I do wake up with the pain still there. Do my legs not get enough exercise in terms of bending, squatting due to being in one position a lot? Would this help or could this be something more serious? In terms of my diet, I do eat too much sugar and I think I might not be eating enough protein. I try to eat at least one piece of meat or some eggs, cheese a day. I do actually eat quite a bit of veggies and take some vitamins to support my liver. Would appreciate any advice and apologies if this is a silly question.

2024.05.14 09:00 Loutreadorable Persistent itchiness internally HELP I’m desperate
Hello guys,
If you could PLEASE read my previous posts beforehand that would help you understand my situation (sorry I didn’t succeed to add it in my post, but you can find it easily on my profile).
Now basically, the itching is still there, even if it’s less intense. I’m actually on my period so I think it might increase it, but I’m honestly feeling so desperate. It’s been a month that I’m dealing with hooha issues. I’ve had antibiotics and 2 rounds of econazole vaginal pills (think the equivalent in the US is fluconazole). I’m seeing a gynecologist tomorrow, I know he’s a very good doctor. But I don’t even know what to ask him, besides telling him I feel very itchy internally, not so the vulva, and I still have this heaviness and feeling of discomfort.
Am I gonna be cure one day or am I gonna deal with this forever ? This is annoying and I’m afraid it’s gonna ruin my sex life with my partner at some point (he’s very supportive, but I can imagine it being annoying for him too if it lasts too long).
Could the itching be because of a YI but with not much discharge ? Could it be BV but with no smell at all ? Could it be from the varicose vein that gives me this itchy feeling because of the nerves/blood circulation issue idk ? Thing is, besides the ichynesss i dont have much discharge that could be a clue for something.
I want to precise that my tests came back normal, even the STDs ones, besides a raise on the white blood cells that could indicate an infection but I’ve took a bunch of different antibiotics so it might have induced false negative idk.
Please help 😢
Thanks in advance

2024.05.14 08:52 pinkpinkpink19 My results 2 weeks in, the proof to not trust the scale!
Hey guys!
(Disclaimer : I am NOT a health professional, these are my results that I wanted to share because I was feeling proud but also surprised and really struggled with this diet cause I tend to criticize myself a lot)
After two weeks of dieting and exercising, here are my results and they kinda shocked me!
Info : (please do not compare my results with any otheyours, all of our bodies/metabolism/lifestyle is different) Female, 178 cm Tension and blood circulation issues Lifestyle : in bed or sitting all day, regular and slow exercise
1st May Weight : 83.3 kg (183 lbs) Body fat : 31.8% Waist : 83 cm (32.8 inch) Hips : 107.5 cm (42.2) Thigh : 66 cm (26) Arm : 34 cm (13.4)
14th May (I am discussing the results at the end) Weight : 81.9 kg Body fat : 30.7% Waist : 81.5 cm (31.9) Hips : 105 cm (41.4) Thigh : 65 cm (25.6) Arm : 33.8 cm (13)
My diet consists in first trying to control my binge eating, a calorie deficit (1400-1500 kcal), working out everyday or walking enough to burn around 300 kcal (I eat the calorie i burn, for example if I burned 300 cal I try to eat 300 more cal), cut alcohol and drink enough water.
The truth is : I WAS NOT ABLE TO DO ALL THIS !!! And it's fine, cause even if I didn't I made good steps and took good decisions for myself. A tiny step forward is still a step forward.
What truly happened :
Another reminder : I have a scale problem, I weight myself everyday which is really not the best for your mental health and the past two weeks probed it. I was crying and sweating when I was weighting myself and it showed I gained weight. Weight loss, taking care of yourself and getting healthy is not linear. I knew it but I think i truly learned my lesson now.
So if you can see yourself in this or feel less guilty with my experience I guess writing this awfully long post was worth it (I'm sorry about the length btw)😂
YOU GOT THIS. Showing up for yourself, even if it's a little, even if it's once in a while is still embracing and taking care of yourself🩷

What truly happened :
- I had difficult moments and I binged BUT once or twice, way less than before
- I did not drink 2l of water everyday (never were able too), BUT drank at least a liter which is mych more than my past one glass a day😂
- I did not exercise or walk to burn 300 everyday, sometimes I had no time or no motivation to do so, BUT I managed to do so 2-3 times a week which is much more than in the past!
- I had a drink of alcohol every weekend and that is good! I decided to cut alcohol cause I realized my consumption could have a serious impact on my weight, did not completely cut it like I wanted BUT it's way less than my usual 4-5 drinks a week and I was able to say no when people offered it to me!
- Many times I went over the calories limit I set for myself, BUT we are not machines, life happens with beautiful things like good food, birthdays, or sometimes heartbreak and food is a nice comfort🩷

2024.05.14 06:50 froggo921 Question regarding behaviour of floating objects in a flowing liquid
Hello everyone,
I have a quick question regarding behaviour if floating objects in a flowing liquid.
In my case, different types of blood cells are and circulating through a setup of small channels for measurements. The flow of the liquid is constant, the liquid is water, the cells differ in size, weight and shape.
The characteristics of the cells would impact their velocity in the flowing liquid or am I wrong here? Shouldn't they be moving slower or faster depending on their density/shape?
Mainly looking for a confirmation of my reasoning and maybe if there's a formula or a paper one of you knows on a similar case which could be an analogy. Have spent a while searching and unfortunately without a decent result.

2024.05.14 05:44 courtingdisaster Presenting the evidence: 17 May 2024
 | Come one, come all, we're clooowning again! 🤡 submitted by courtingdisaster to GaylorSwift [link] [comments] Thanks to u/1DMod for posting the Jimmy Fallon video that led to me to start to connect the dots that other creators have noticed. Long story short, we're clowning for Stockholm N1 (maybe even night ✌️ as well), buckle up clowns! ✌️First things first, May 17 is ✌️ fortnights after the release of TTPD on April 19. We know that Taylor is still throwing up peace signs which seems unnecessary if it only ever meant that there was a second part of TTPD. I think it's an indication that we haven't completely cracked that egg yet.This photo was necessary for the post, ok National/International Day OfWhile these days aren't necessarily solid proof of anything, Taylor did release TTPD on Poetry & The Creative Mind Day and also released the ME! music video (ME! Out now!) on Lesbian Visibility Day so I think it's definitely worth investigating.Let's have a look at the holidays for May 17 that could be relevant:
Direct 17/5 easter eggs
Important days in historyThese could be nothing, could be something, still worth noting.
Important events in Taylor's history on this day
Stockholm
Is Karma boutta pop-up unannounced...?
New RomanticsKristen, who I have referenced in nearly every part in this post (again, she's amazing, go follow her), has a mass coming-out theory that she has dubbed the New Romantics. I highly recommend checking out her content on Twitter and TikTok and she's also recently launched a podcast that you can read more about here for a lottttttt more information on this theory. Essentially the theory is that a large number of artists in the entertainment industry are queer and are working together as a "safety in numbers" type approach to coming out of the closet and potentially changing the industry in a monumental way.Let's have a look at some players that are relevant to either 17 May or Stockholm (or both in one person's case!):
Theories as to what exactly is coming
In SummationSomething is happening in Stockholm.I don't know what exactly but it is THE ONE to watch. I'll be there talking smack in the megathread and keeping an eye out for any new Chiefs colours. See you there, clowns! Who's clowning with me?! 🤡🤡🤡 |
2024.05.14 05:30 EqueelOffer Fear of diabetes because of poor diet due to sensory issues/ARFID
I have ARFID and my comfort foods are usually really sweet things like lots of candy, I almost never eat healthy, eat fruits or vegetables or anything.
My little brother has diabetes as well and the doctor told us it runs in siblings.
I been having so much panic attacks over this, I dont even care about the diabetes, I have anxiety over the fact that I wouldnt be able to eat my safe foods when I want anymore, literally the only thing that makes me happy.
I also have really poor blood circulation and my legs go numb alot and the doctors said thats a sign.
Fuck i might actually end it all if I have it.

2024.05.14 03:36 Killerbees7407 how many times do Spartans need to throw hands at each other to break their shields and armor?
Imagining Spartans fighting stuff is cool. Imagining Spartans fighting other Spartans is cool, maybe even cooler (with the recent Chronicle it's really on my mind), but if Spartans do engage in H2H, how much do you think it will take to break each others shields? (and armor to go with it)
There's a recent post talking about how most UNSC rifle fire can't have a chance in hell to break the energy shields, and that even alien weaponry such as plasma needs a while before breaching, with heavy weaponry (or falling) being your best bet. So with that in mind, just how much do Spartans need to smack each other around before they could actually harm the person inside?
Would the shields be way too strong, with the ability to withstand so many rounds and explosives such as in Uprising with a point-blank plasma grenade and a ghosts explosion, or John in TFoR with the anti-tank missile, create needless pummeling until they finally break like with Mickey and Buck? Likely so.
But it comes to the problem that if they avoid their attacks enough, would their shields be constantly recharging and causing them to start at ground zero continuously, dodging or backing away whenever their in danger to get the barrier back up, or would they be able to keep up with each other and break down those shields until they can get to the armor?
And when their there, just how much would a Spartans punch damage the armor plating and undersuit? Chief dented the FuD's deck plating, so a full force punch could probably do some serious damage, but in a straight fight they probably wont get the opportunity to charge one up cpt. falcon style, like how Locke only cracked Chief's visor with a backhand in their fight. And the undersuit, I wonder if a Spartan could punch through it Injustice Superman-style with Joker, though the chance of that happening is lower thanthe old fanons interpretation of Chief and Cortana's relationship me getting a killionaire in actual Halo pvp (maybe if the techsuits heavily damaged, that would be cool to see in a story). Probably just dent it considerably though or just push 'em away if it was in a fight scene like RVB is what I think.
I remember hearing about and reading a bit on Halo: Bad Blood, and the fight between Buck and Mickey. How they sounded like thunder rolling over the mountain as they pummeled each other, not holding back, bringing the lighting, and I think that's pretty cool and accurate with how they were just slapping and smacking the hell out of the other. Pretty funny when you think about it like that tbh.

2024.05.14 03:05 WonderWoman710 Temperature differences after fusion
Hi everyone, I (38F) had a spinal fusion in February (L4-L5 ALIF 360 with posterior screw placement). First of all, I was very nervous to have the surgery but I had done several years of physical therapy, numerous cortisone injections, and a rhizotomy, so I felt I exhausted all my non-surgical options. It’s been 12 weeks and I’m feeling really good - all the pain I had in my back when I was standing/laying flat is gone and it is a miracle! I’m still having a bit of nerve sensation in my leg every now and then and a glimmer in my back if I overdo it, but it’s not really pain. So i am PSYCHED to not be in constant pain!
With that said, I have had a couple of "weird" side effects happen since surgery and I’m curious if anyone else has had or heard of these things.
First, my hands have usually been cold my entire life, but since surgery if my hands happen to be cold, there have been 3 occasions when one of my fingers will turn completely white just in one or two knuckles - and it is numb and tingly. If I warm up my hands in warm water it’ll immediately look and feel normal again. When I’ve looked up Raynaud’s phenomenon it looks like that, but just one finger. My doctor said Raynaud’s usually affects more than one finger so I don’t know. Has anyone suddenly gotten Raynaud’s after having spine surgery or had one finger turn randomly white?
The second issue is that, like my hands, my feet have also always been cold for my entire life. After surgery however, they were immediately warm. I thought that surgery suddenly fixed my bad circulation and I was into it. But then it started feeling a bit too warm, and my feet were also suddenly very dry where they haven’t been before. The bottom of my feet also appears more red/white splotchy (see photo). Then my left one started cooling off, and now my left one is basically coldemore normal to what it was before surgery, but my right foot is still warm. I can warm up my left foot with my right foot and it kind of weirds me out that they are different. I had a vascular ultrasound on both legs - no blood clots or artery/vein issues that they can see. The only thing it said was my right foot had very mild hyperemia, or more blood in it (which I assumed since it is warmer). My surgeon told me initially to see my PCP, who ordered this ultrasound, and now my PCP is telling me that I need to go back to my surgeon about it, lol. The only other thing that popped up in my labs was a slightly elevated thyroid which I haven’t had previously.
Has anyone heard of this? Since my foot has changed temperature since surgery I’m hoping it will just continue to figure itself out as my nerves continue to heal, but the right foot has been consistently warm, regardless of my environment for the last 12 weeks which seems like a good amount of time. Am I just going to have one hot foot forever?

submitted by WonderWoman710 to spinalfusion [link] [comments]
With that said, I have had a couple of "weird" side effects happen since surgery and I’m curious if anyone else has had or heard of these things.
First, my hands have usually been cold my entire life, but since surgery if my hands happen to be cold, there have been 3 occasions when one of my fingers will turn completely white just in one or two knuckles - and it is numb and tingly. If I warm up my hands in warm water it’ll immediately look and feel normal again. When I’ve looked up Raynaud’s phenomenon it looks like that, but just one finger. My doctor said Raynaud’s usually affects more than one finger so I don’t know. Has anyone suddenly gotten Raynaud’s after having spine surgery or had one finger turn randomly white?
The second issue is that, like my hands, my feet have also always been cold for my entire life. After surgery however, they were immediately warm. I thought that surgery suddenly fixed my bad circulation and I was into it. But then it started feeling a bit too warm, and my feet were also suddenly very dry where they haven’t been before. The bottom of my feet also appears more red/white splotchy (see photo). Then my left one started cooling off, and now my left one is basically coldemore normal to what it was before surgery, but my right foot is still warm. I can warm up my left foot with my right foot and it kind of weirds me out that they are different. I had a vascular ultrasound on both legs - no blood clots or artery/vein issues that they can see.

2024.05.14 02:52 SayICanFly I think I have Heart Failure but ER didn’t Find Anything
Male, 30, 5’6”
Symptoms: Insomnia, severe chest pain that radiates to the arms, legs, neck, shoulders and back. A dry persistent cough where I cough every 10 seconds if I’m not talking. Feeling of poor blood circulation. Often either hot or cold and no inbetween. Chest pain is worse when lying down. Chest, shoulders, and abdomen hurt when you press on them. Chest hurts more when I raise my arm.
ER ran a bunch of tests on me and found nothing. But I’m positive this has to be Heart Failure. Can anyone chime in?

2024.05.14 01:55 SabreCanuck2020 Not your usual VENT question. :) :) :)
 | Howdy, submitted by SabreCanuck2020 to Plumbing [link] [comments] I setup a backyard water feature with a waterfall-stream-pond. The pond drains through a 2" PVC downhill into a water tote and circulates back up when the pump is running. Last year when I built the system the tote was above ground and the pipes were too visible. This year I lowered the tote into the ground which caused the drain pipe to be on more of an angle. The gurgling noise coming out of the drain vent at the pond end (top end of drain) has become significant compared to last year. I'm pretty certain it's due to the increased slope of the drain. The question is - If I put another vent down at the Water tote end of the drain pipe do you think it would prevent the gurgling in the vent at the top? rough diagram of plumbing Drain goes down that hill, then sloped back into tote where I'm standing |
2024.05.14 01:45 edminzodo [QCrit] DEATH MIRROR science fantasy, 90k words (1st attempt)
Hi there! This is my first attempt at querying for this novel. I'm not 100% sure of comps so I've left those slots blank for now. I feel as though I could add a lot more information about the plot, but I've tried to keep it intriguing. Any advice would be much appreciated!
Dear AGENT,
I am excited to share with you the first chapter of DEATH MIRROR, a science fantasy novel which would appeal to readers who have enjoyed [COMP1] and [COMP2]. I'm currently a PhD student studying ancient history, and much of my inspiration comes from the regions I research. DEATH MIRROR is additionally inspired by Big Fish by Daniel Wallace, Stardust by Neil Gaiman, and Fire and Blood by George R. R. Martin. [More agent specific information here].
DEATH MIRROR unfolds in a barren world of royal intrigue, familial betrayal, and the quest for legacy. King Alder of Engels comes to power after murdering his own brother and nephew. He soon becomes haunted by the Death Mirror, an artefact in which the user can see their exact vision at their time of death. Alder grapples with his impending demise while his children fight to become the next ruler of Engels.
As Alder lies on his deathbed, his three youngest children disappoint him in different ways. Princess Joan, his only daughter, is a political schemer and coward, while Prince Daniel, the pious and self-obsessed heir apparent, and Prince Marcus, the brooding and ruthless younger twin, both fall short of Alder's expectations. Meanwhile, the banished Crown Prince Dominic, believed by Alder to be the assassin in his vision of death, unexpectedly returns to claim the throne.
The narrative weaves through complex relationships and alliances, revealing layers of deception and hidden agendas. Dominic's ascent to power following Alder's suspicious death sparks tension among his siblings, with Daniel and Marcus vying for control while Joan aligns herself with the new king. Dominic soon alienates his allies by searching for his supposed long-dead cousin (Alder's nephew), in the hope that the lost prince will take the burden of the crown away from him. Factions begin to form, and, in the ensuing power struggle, Dominic grapples with the weight of kingship and his own vision of death.
At 90,000, DEATH MIRROR is complete and ready for your consideration. The novel is an exploration of human nature, filled with complex characters, intricate relationships, and high-stakes drama. It delves into themes of destiny, choice, and redemption, offering readers a journey through a world where the line between right and wrong is often blurry.
Thank you for considering my submission.

2024.05.14 01:29 HomeGirl_HG Teen son ruining our lives.
Teen Son Ruining our Life
Where do I even start? My soon to be 16 year old son is destroying anything good about himself or his future. Is this typical for ADHD-ers?
A little history:
Our son “Mason” was born at 33 weeks and was hands down the WORST baby that, to this day, I have ever seen. Blood curdling screams for the first full year of his life. Doctors had no answer, just that it was colic. It was a dark time.
After the colic came the night terrors. Like clockwork every night 1-3am was spent with him screaming like he was being murdered. We couldn’t wake him or console him. We just prayed he’d stop and the neighbors wouldn’t call the police.
Then like magic, he seemed to turn into a sweet boy and ages 4 and 5 were great. Around age 6, he started getting sneaky with his tactics and we found him with his hands around his 3 year old sister’s throat one day. That’s when I knew I did not give birth to a normal child.
From ages 6-10 he didn’t get into much trouble and we kept him busy with various sports. He’s incredibly smart and slightly autistic. He had friends and was living a pretty normal life.
Around age 11/12 he got his first game system and computer and that’s when our lives went to hell in a hand basket with him. It wasn’t the gaming that was the problem, it was the forums and Discord. The stuff I saw him writing on there was straight up criminal. Disgusting filthy language riddled with violence and misogyny. I know boys say not so great things amongst each other, but the things he was saying was psychotic.
I immediately got him into seeing a psychiatrist. He was diagnosed ADD with a hint of Autism. We put him on meds which was a nightmare in itself. Nothing worked. His body would metabolize the meds like water. We even had him genetically tested to see if his liver really is processing them way too quickly. Every med made him moody and aggressive.
He’s now 15 almost 16. He lies constantly, has an insane need for justice, will yell at teachers if he doesn’t agree with something they say to another student. He was s3xting he his girlfriend, she may now be pregnant and we aren’t sure if it’s his (she’s barely 15 and a mess of a person herself), he’s an absolute spaz, he has zero communication skills and talks like he’s reading from a script, he argues EVERYTHING, I hate to say this but he’s can be incredibly dumb. He has zero common sense. He says things that make absolutely NO sense. He talks just to sound “smart” and doesn’t even think about what he’s saying. He paces the floor constantly, fidgets like a drug addict, and says extremely creepy things to fellow students. Female students have reported him for making them uncomfortable. I get calls from the principal because they are super concerned about him. The school has had the police talk with him. He will lie even though EVERYONE knows the truth. It’s beyond an awkward Autistic kid.
Just tonight we found texts again between him and his “ex” girlfriend. He has her name in his phone as whre. I *begged him to just do something right. He just stares at me blankly. He calls us crazy to people in his texts. He’s obsessed with his “ex” girlfriend. They are skipping classes to “hang out” in the school stairwell.
When confronted he just shrugs and says he doesn’t know why he does what he does. He admits he’ll do what ever it takes to feel like he got justice. You can physically see him disassociate when being talked to. He’s extremely selfish.
Here’s the kicker, he’s INCREDIBLY book smart. He could go to any collage, study any major and do well. We have told him “Do well in school, don’t get in trouble and we’ll send you to ANY collage you want” we tell him we’ll pay for any advanced training or AP classes he wishes to take, we are willing to do absolutely anything to get him right.
I truly think we might be dealing with an ADHD sociopath.
He’s at his therapists office as we speak.
Anyone ever meet or know a kid like this?!

2024.05.13 23:47 TaylorNikoleCinci My sister had this happen after her 4th treatment .. first photos are extreme!!
These are not mine. My sister doesn’t have an account so I told her I’d post for her.
A year and a half has passed between her last session and this one days ago. She says her 3rd treatment was fine and they used a new machine that started with a Q. She doesn’t recall the name.
The first photo is the evening of treatment, the ones that follow are much later the evening of, then days later, and then the final photo is from today.
I believe it’s just an infection from the treatment and that it should heal shortly, but I wanted to post and get any advice for her. I did read that the further from the heart the less likely to receive blood circulation. The tattoo removal on her neck, received same days as these, has been fine without issues. So I think that’s why the neck area is okay. Maybe that played a part here.
She says that the bubbling has since went down and the itching has subsided. Today she says that it has a chemical smell coming off of it and that it still hurts and burns.
She went to the ER and she was gave an antibiotic, so I believe she’ll be okay, as long as she doesn’t pick at it, etc. She was prescribed Mupirocin. She has been applying the neosporin the laser treatment facility recommended for her and she has kept it bandaged.
She’s worried though, and rightly so.

2024.05.13 22:44 Educational-Tower376 Correlation between vaping and hair loss?
For some context, my dad is somewhat bald he has no hair on his crown all the way down to his forehead but has plenty of hair on his sides. My brothers are in their early 30s with 0 signs of balding whereas my sisters are in their late 30s, one of them has some form of alopecia the other is losing very little hair. I however, am 18m and if you see my previous posts I am balding very badly. I’ve only noticed balding in early 2022 and I started vaping in mid 2021 quite frequently. After doing some research, lots of websites stated that vaping can affect your blood vessels as well as blood circulation, but it would make sense considering a hair specialist stated I lacked blood flow to my scalp. My diet is relatively good with a few lazy days but my vitamins and iron levels are good according to my most recent blood tests, I workout 4x a week, but vape quite frequently.
I have a few questions, does vaping actually affect blood circulation to your scalp? Will I regain all my hair that I lost if I quit? If I was to quit and used both min and fin in the meantime, how will I know the cause for hair growth? Would it be because I quit or because I’m on meds?
In conclusion, I think it’s clear to see that vaping has had some level of contribution to my hair loss. Whether that was speeding up the process of when my hair loss began or cutting blood flow to my hair. I plan to quit vaping with a strict no nicotine, ie no usage of smaller doses just a straight stop. Lmk your thoughts.
