I ask this from the perspective of a college student, actively trying to convert my peers. One had asked me about weed (I smoked for about 5-6 years and was delivered btw) and I brought up all the cases from scripture and basic living I could find. He replied with something simple that I didn’t think of which was “I know drugs are bad when too much of them can kill you. I don’t think anything good like loving someone or blessing someone too much can ever be bad.” Now of course there’s truth in saying too much water or food can kill you, but specifically from sinful or rather secular activities, how far can this argument extend when stretching to the entire population?
If that was confusing, the shortened question is Would every sin, if actively practiced by all adults or at least teens and up, end in a societal breakdown/crisis? If so, why is or isn’t this a good argument to use?
Examples..

1. If every teen or adult practiced homosexuality, there would be much higher risks of stds, and the population would slowly die out given that heterosexual relationships would have ended.
   
2. If every one committed murder..that speaks for itself.
   
3. If everyone committed fornication, there’s many more broken homes, unwanted pregnancies (likely including more abortions).
   

What sin do you think this argument couldn’t or can’t logically apply to if any? Where can it be countered? Any feedback helps!!

Hi Everyone, I'm probably going to have a bunch of follow-up questions, so I appreciate everyone's help in advance, but for now, I'm going to try and keep it as simple as possible. I think I should be able to work out the other steps if I can just get past the first hurdle. Teach a fellow to fish, and all that.
Unfortunately, I can't upload sample data because the data is sensitive, so I'm going to use a made up example to help explain where necessary.
The End Goal: I am creating a metrics dashboard to display how well we are progressing towards our annual goals. I have one table with the metrics listed, along with the 2024 goal for each metric (numeric values). We'll call this the Metrics table. I also have two tables combined which contains all the data used to calculate the 'Actuals'. We'll call this the Data table. There are no fields that join the 'Metrics' table with the 'Data' table. I plan to create a dual-axis bar graph which shows Actuals vs Goals.
Since there are no matching fields between the Data table and the Metrics table, I plan to create a calculated field for each of the individual metrics, using data from the Data table. I will then create a calculated field named "Actuals" which will contain a series of IF statements based on the metric name. i.e., IF [Metrics].[Metric] = "Metric 1" THEN [Data].[Metric 1] ELSEIF [Metrics].[Metrics] = "Metric 2" THEN [Data].[Metric 2], and so on and so forth.
The issue I'm having is creating the calculated fields for each metric...
An Explanation of the Dataset: Let's say my data is about the delivery of fruit and vegetables. The two tables combined to make the 'Data' table are a 'Delivery Stats' table and a 'Metadata' table. The 'Delivery Stats' table lists the fruits and vegetables delivered, the date, the quantity delivered, the quantity that are rotten, and the % that are rotten. The 'Metadata' table lists every fruit and vegetable that we have ever ordered, and then lists the features of each fruit/vegetable. e.g., if it's a fruit or a vegetable, the colour, the country of origin, etc. Note: each fruit/vegetable is only listed once in the Metadata table, as the metadata is static.
The last piece of the puzzle is that I have a 'Metric Date' which is a calculated field. It shows the last available date from the previous month, based on the data available. So within my dataset, that date is March 29. The reason I am using a calculated field is so that the date can be dynamic based on the data available.
Where I'm Stuck: My first metric is 'Number of Red Fruit/Vegetables'. So I want to do a simple count of the number of rows where the Colour is listed as 'Red', but only on the Metric Date (i.e., March 29). And this is where I'm getting stumped.
I can create a table where I have Date and Colour in the rows, and then Total Fruit in the Marks, but what I need to do is create a calculated field that shows only the count of red fruits and only on the 'Metrics Date'.
What I've Done So Far: I created a binary calculated field called "Red" which uses IF logic to assign a 1 or a 0 to each row:
IIF([Colour]="Red",1,0)
I then created the 'Number of Red Fruit/Vegetables' calculated field which uses IF logic to SUM the "Red" column when the Date = the Metric Date:
IF [Date] = [Metrics Date] THEN [Red] END
But it's throwing out a number that's way higher than it should be. (It should be 224, but I'm getting 1,120). I can't work out what it's doing to get the higher count.
I think a large part of my struggle is because I'm still stuck in the Excel mindset of using a "COUNTIFS" function to get the total. I just can't for the life of me figure out how to do the same in Tableau.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read all this and can offer some guidance.
TL;DR: How to I create a calculated field that spits out a single count of all the records where the data meets multiple criteria located across multiple fields?

Finally i've finished reading every volume and, as someone who loves writing, here i am writing this review just to share my thoughts.
So, it's undeniable that COTE is edgy as hell. Just take a look at Tsukishiro randomly talking about a guy he just killed, BUT at the same time i feel like it makes sense for the series to have edgy elements when you consider the target audience and the elements the story has. It's not an happy story if you dive deep enough in it and can be rather depressive at times. Either way it's better to fully embrace the edge and just enjoy the series how it is since it's a very enjoyable story if you turn off your brain
The characters are what i think is the main appeal of the series. The cast is huuuuuuge as frick and most of the characters, while not very developed, are each flashed out on their own way, which makes them and their interactions with others very enjoyable and fun to read. Just look at a character like Kito who went from a random dude with a scary face to a full-ass character in y2v8 who was a blast to read alongside his interactions with Ryuen. We have the same with other characters like Ishizaki who went from a random Ryuen's pawn to a whole bro, Sudo who went from the everage short-tempered guy to a chad and Ibuki who went from a girl with anger issues to still a girl with anger issues but entertaining to read with her intractions with Horikita and sometimes Kushida. I won't call the cast deep or amazingly written. The only characters who have a superior level of writing are probably Koji and Ryuen but even they aren't that amazing, but that's okay. You don't need to write Guts 2.0 to make an enjoyable character. But now, alongside the characters, two problems surface. One about the community and one about the author. The first one, the one about the community, is that people seem to care only about feats. No one is gonna talk about a character who doesn't outsmart everyone in a single volume just for him to get humbled by Koji five seconds later. And this is what i consider to be an huuuge problem. I get that they are less amazing inside the story but if they're fun to read then aren't they good characters? I get the shit with Yagatwink because he had a disastrous end but with the rest? Why call Nagumo a fraud in the end? The way he lost made sense with his character. I feel like the fact that people only care about feats is what makes more minor characters Kanzaki, Hashimoto or heck even Matsushita, Ibuki or Morishita to be less talked about. I get it when a character is straight up annoying like Ichinose, Yagatwink, Airi, Yagabitch, Ecchinose, Yagamid or Ichinose but the rest feels a bit unnecessary. The second problem lies in the author and his inability to focus on one character properly. I like a large cast, and it's normal not to develop every character but it doesn't make sense to have important characters like Ichika, Kei or even Fuka to not get development because they're important to the story and are even fam favourites. Ichika was abandoned and was left to be a simp, while there was an huge room for development when it comes to her inability to make friends. Kei will probably develop in year 3 but for now she's an NPC and Kiryuin sadly has few appearances and don't get me started on the first years. I'll leave characters like Ishigami, Tsubaki and Koenji out of the picture because it makes sense for them to be a mystery at this point in the story
I shall avoid talking about fanservice because i want to preserve the few mental stability that i currently have
COTE also does a good job with its antagonists. While sadly year 2 was a bit lacking with Tsukishiro amd Yagami, the rest were great. Ryuen was a threat and you wanted to see him continue and take Koji out in the open and GOSH that fight in y1v7 was amazing even in the light novel. Arisu was great with more of an anti-hero type of character? She'll clearly have more screentime as a villain in y3 but for now she still did a great job. Then we have Nagumo who, at least for me, was defeated almost perfectly for his character and it was even sad. You can see the difference from Nagumo in the beginning and in the end. Then there are other characters who will probably become antagonists. The one i'm looking forward the most is clearly Koenji, who's probably better than Koji physically, and could leave a mark. Then there's Ishigami who will absolutely be an antagonist even if not for long and they better not mess that up or istg. Then Tsubaki, the one who probably has the lowest chances to be an antagonist but someone who could still be interesting to see. And then Horikita who will be almost 100% an antagonist for Koji if he ever switches classes. Then there's Atsuomi who i don't wanna talk about because he's a bit disappointing unless he really doesn't wanna Koji to be expelled
I won't really focus on the special exams, not because they're bad but because even today i still don't understand how 90% of them work so bear with me
Going back to character interactions, i feel like that's something the anime, or at least season 1, kinda nailed. S1E7 is one of the main proves of this. I felt as if the pool scene was better in the anime (fanservice excluded) than in the light novel. That was one of the few times i felt the characters mostly acted like kids who wanted to have fun (fanservice excluded) and that small and faint smile they gave to Koji, even if technically nonsensical and not canon, felt great and feels even better the more i read and come to understand him more. Same thing for the time he smiled in y2v10. That scene was very short but it felt amazing to read nonetheless. Character interactions are also the reasons why i love volumes like y1v8, y2v8 or some scenes in the .5 volumes. They just feel fun to read. Seeing Koji skiing with Kushida and Ryuen, even if they wanna see him in the ground and then take a selfie on his grave, felt great and even more after reading about Ryuen chuckling after seeing Koji fall. Or even the scene with Arisu and Koji eating the cake, something so simple but great to me
Now i'd like to talk a bit about Koji's character because he's probably the deepest and most well written in the series. Due to the anime, those yt videos and the Ayanokoji wannabe he became the epitome of the "oh my god he's literally me" and the average edgy character, which i find to be horrendous. I like the jokes about that but i can't stand when one is serious. We all know Koji's main motive in that school is probably just live a quiet life in peace just like a normal high schooler and when you stop and think about him... Goddammit his story is depressing. He never had a normal childhood and he developed a toxic mindset while being in the WR which ruined his life. He's so depressed and traumatised he can't even smile properly and his normal and mundane happy life is constantly ruined by troubles and sabotages by his father (if he really wants to expel him). I know he clearly doesn't have a problem with any of that because he's perfect and all, but having to deal with all of that consistently must suck even for him. Dude can't catch a break and i won't be surprised if we see him breaking at some point in the story (something i'm looking forward to). I just want someone to defeat him just so his father could leave him the fuck alone
Now that we're here, i think i can finally end this. It was short, yeah, but it was fun. COTE is what i consider to be a flawed masterpiece due to the way it keeps you reading but also make you question what the author is doing at times. It's good but it's also bad and i expected much worse in y2. There are obviously many disastrous nitpicks in the series. Ichinose is a whole damn example, but other than those problems, this series is amazing to me. But maybe i have written all wrong stuff and i've completely missed the point in the story, but i don't mind viewing it like this. It's a fun story that i hope won't fall from grace

When a dating app allowed users to mute specific words, phrases and emojis, singles quickly curated their lists. How did a few overused phrases become an “ick” for so many?
Being “fluent in sarcasm,” a love of tacos, an uncontroversial opinion followed by the words “change my mind.” These are a few well-trodden tropes of the online dating world, and there may be a linguistic explanation for why they don’t work on you.
The popular dating app Hinge added a new feature called Hidden Words this month. It allows users to hide the profiles of matches who use certain words, phrases or emojis in their messages.
Online singles were quick to express their eagerness to take advantage of a “mute” button for specific language that turned them off. “I wish I could mute the phrase ‘pineapple belongs on pizza,’” said Mitchell Allen, a 31-year-old in Toronto who uses Hinge and Bumble, and lamented a lack of meaningful connections on the apps. Mr. Allen said he would also mute any phrases relating to love languages and Myers-Briggs typology: “I don’t believe anyone who speaks like that lives in a universe of reality.”
Liking pineapple on pizza is innocent enough — but expressing it, according to much of the online dating world, is intolerable. And those using such clichés may not realize that they’ve consigned themselves to semantic purgatory.
All dating apps allow users to filter potential matches according to their age, gender and proximity (most also paywall other filters), effectively rendering invisible those who don’t fit the bill. But users’ enthusiasm for a filter according to word choice exposes just how specific their dislikes, or icks, can be.
Malia Griggs, a 34-year-old who lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., said that she couldn’t help being turned off by poor grammar, such as someone using the wrong “you’re” or “their” in a message or profile.
“I wish I could filter for punctuation almost,” Ms. Griggs said. She admitted that, while her dating coach had encouraged her to view habits like spelling and grammar as changeable, she continued to see both as a definitive sexual turnoff. “To me, it feels like you’re not taking the time to even read your own profile a couple of times, and we don’t have the same values. My values are grammar.”
Even if spelling errors and grammar aren’t holistic indicators of a person’s dateability, the best online connections are often forged by finding those who communicate through screens the same way you do.
This is often called “typographical tone of voice,” a phrase coined by Gretchen McCulloch, a popular internet linguist, to describe how online writing has come to contain the same social nuance as face-to-face interactions. It may follow, then, that glib statements such as “no drama” and “since apparently it matters” convey far more than those writing them realize — including an inability to read the (virtual) room.
“A lot of these cliché phrases, a lot of people take them to imply something else,” said Erika Ettin, an online dating coach in New York City. “‘No drama,’ for example, might be a euphemism for ‘Don’t bring up your issues to me because I don’t want to hear about them.’”
Having spent years swiping for her clients, Ms. Ettin said she wasn’t surprised to hear that daters could get the ick from an idiom.
“I mean, I could go on all day about the cliché phrases that everyone is sick of,” she said, listing off a series of generalizations of abundant variety — including “I like to go out” and “I like to stay in” — and the bizarrely pervasive love of tacos. “Like, OK, tacos are fine, but gee whiz.”
Adele Goldberg, a professor of linguistics and psychology at Princeton University, suggested that associating a simple phrase and the negative conversations that often follow it might eventually make the two synonymous in daters’ minds.
“This is basically priming,” Professor Goldberg said. “If you hear the word ‘apple,’ the commonly associated word ‘orange’ will also come to mind.” Using a word or emoji that had been primed to be associated with something else in recipients’ minds — like an eggplant emoji (apple) and a particular body part (orange) — was unlikely to pass muster, she said, even if the sender intended it innocently or ironically.
Ms. Ettin was skeptical that certain words could be divorced from their double-entendres on dating apps and was confident in banning a word like “oral” from exchanges. “I don’t think anyone’s talking about an oral report in the first message,” she said. “‘How was your oral report on Woodrow Wilson?’ I don’t think so.”
Reached for comment, a Hinge representative emphasized that Hidden Words was primarily a safety feature and a means of “giving people the agency to create personal boundaries around the types of interactions they want to have.”
But in a swipe-addled era that has increasingly led hopeful romantics to burn out, app users’ boundaries may be a barrier to interaction itself. Ms. Griggs would be happy never to see a profile referring to “The Office” again: “We’ve all seen it. Like, I don’t … it doesn’t even matter if it’s a good show anymore. Get a new show.”

What wors/phrases would you add? I would add the words fit, cuddle, physical touch is my love language, just ask...

what is a simple example of a proposition that cannot be rewritten to have its universal or existential quantifiers removed ?
i heard that "for all x" means "for all x that is part of a universe U" ?
therefore ∀x P(x) means ∀x∈U P(x) ?
could that be rewritten just as x∈U→P(x) and stated as "if x is in U , then P(x)" ? and then a universal quantifier is not needed ?
consider "for all pairs of integers x and y , they have an integer sum z and twice that sum is the sum of twice x and twice y"
that is : ∀x ∀y ∃z ( x+y=z ∧ 2z=2x+2y )
using the idea from above , then could the proposition be rewritten as : (x∈ℤ ∧ y∈ℤ) → ∃z (x+y=z ∧ 2z=2x+2y) ?
and then to get rid of the existential quantifier , could this be written :
(x∈ℤ ∧ y∈ℤ) → ((x+y)∈ℤ ∧ ( x+y=z → 2z=2x+2y )) ?
as far as i can tell "they have an integer sum z" is covered by "(x+y)∈ℤ" and then since z is needed in 2z=2x+2y , then it is "defined" in an antecedent
if this is all a correct rewriting of propositions , it got me wondering when this sort of thing cannot be done hence :
what is a simple example of a proposition that cannot be rewritten to have its universal or existential quantifiers removed ?

I've always wondered about why and how antigravity is not possible. Clever geometry of the sail and angle of attack allows you to sail upward directly into the wind. By essentially resulting in a net force against the wind. This is the only example I know of movment in the opposite firection against a force. I'm curious since since gravity isn't actually a force, and spacetime is a Lorenz manifold and not that simple. Is it possible for some clever geometry and mass distribution to sail "against gravity"?

GrapheneOS gets better thanks to the hard work of gifted developers. They're always updating it to make it safer and easier to use.
Updates bring new security patches, app changes, and more. For instance, new kernel updates might change to versions like 5.15.151 or 6.1.80. Apps like Vanadium might jump to new versions like 124.0.6367.159.0.
They use tags to give updates for certain devices. For example, a tag like 2024040100 might mean a special update for certain phones. These updates are meant to make your experience even better.
Recently, they made sure that VPN apps can't accidentally leak your web requests. They also update apps like PDF Viewer to make sure they run smoother. These updates are all about making your phone more enjoyable to use.
GrapheneOS also pays special attention to certain phones. For example, the Pixel Fold might receive updates specific to its design. This keeps your device running well and safe.
They change settings to make your phone safer and easier to use. For security, a new memory tag setting is available. You might see different settings based on what phone you have, making everything more user-friendly.
Improving apps is just as important to GrapheneOS. Apps like TalkBack, which helps by reading the screen, might get better with version 14.1. These changes aim to make using your favorite apps a smoother experience.
They also make technical updates to stay cutting-edge. A recent kernel update, like 5.15.149, makes your device more secure and faster.
Even the Camera app and GmsCompatConfig (used for Google services) get updated. This ensures your phone is more dependable and full of new features.

• App Compatibility: You might struggle to use some apps, like banking apps, because GrapheneOS isn't the regular Android. But, more and more apps are being made to work with it.
• Lack of "Smart" Features: You won't find fancy features, like Google's smart phone answering feature or advanced keyboard tools. You might need to choose between these extras and your privacy.
• Troubleshooting Required: Sometimes things might not work perfectly. You might find some emojis missing or have to fix some app issues yourself. So, some tech skills could come in handy.

Deciding on GrapheneOS means balancing privacy with how easy your phone is to use. It's great for keeping your data safe. But, you might not find all the apps and features you're used to.

One of the things I appreciated most about the owl house was the hexside, or at least how it was treated. It is a magic school in a fantasy world, which the protagonist begins to attend despite being someone unusual, at least for that school. Does it remind you of anything? And despite this, it hasn't become a clone of Harry Potter, like The Worst Witch and many other series like that. Why? Because hexside was a school. Just a school and nothing else. If you take, for example, Wensday, the Worst Witch or even Percy Jackson, you will see how the school in question becomes much more than a school. It essentially becomes the center of the protagonist's life (not really for Percy Jackson, he too somehow managed to free himself from Harry Potter's influence but in a different way), with all the events that happen in the school and concern the school. Instead the hexside is just that: a school. Nothing more, nothing less. It is used as a pretext to make Luz more powerful, it is the setting of various episodes (some parodies of Harry Potter), it even becomes the base of the rebels. But never, NEVER on toh will the hexside have such a central role as to make the owl house considered "a harry potter clone". It may seem like a simple thing, but it is much more difficult than it seems

Are you looking forward to installing modern-styled cabinets in your kitchen but don’t know many things about them? If yes, then continue reading. In browsing the web for the latest kitchen design ideas, we came across the top-trending cabinet designs, modern kitchen cabinets.
In this article, we have explained everything we discovered about these amazing types of kitchen cabinets. Read on to know the features that you must consider reviewing when buying modern-styled kitchen cabinets.

Modern Kitchen Cabinets Explained

Generally, modern-styled pantries are defined by simple designs marked by angular shapes, flat-paneled doors, and minute decorative features. To be specific, below are the defining attributes of modern-styled kitchen cabinets
1. Modern Kitchen Cabinet Material
Unlike traditional cupboards, which are mostly defined by artificial materials, modern kitchen cabinets come with blends of natural and man-made textures, from material to ornamentation. Typically, these drawers feature natural wood as the material component and industrial materials, for example, fiberboard, plastics, metals, and laminate materials as accessories or ornamental features.
2. Modern Kitchen Cabinet Color
Modern cabinets are genuinely very colorful. While it’s possible to find modern-styled cupboards adorned with traditional colors like cream and white, the majority of these drawers are defined by brighter tones. For decades, they have been coming out in all types of contemporary paint, including popular shades like pink, green, and red.
3. Modern Kitchen Cabinet Accessories
Because their designs stress simplicity, modern kitchen cabinets are typically defined by minimalism in terms of ornamentation. Nonetheless, their fewer accessorized components feature luxurious materials, for example, metals like stainless steel, copper, and gold, all of which are great in enhancing their overall visual aesthetic property.
4. Modern Kitchen Cabinet Doors
As initially observed, one of the highlights of modern cabinets is their flat-paneled doors. Whereas earlier models feature wood slab doors with recessed center panels, the latest modern kitchen cabinet varieties are highlighted by glass slab doors adorned with metallic fixtures, for example, golden knobs and hinges.

What is the Cost of Modern Kitchen Cabinets?

Because of their luxurious features courtesy of modern industrial materials, modern kitchen cabinets are slightly more expensive, especially when compared to traditional cabinets, for example, traditional farmhouse kitchen cabinets. Thankfully, these drawers are exceptionally high-quality, which is a fact that makes them the go-to designs although they are expensive.
Because they come in different styles, colors, shapes, and sizes, modern cabinets vary in terms of cost of purchase and installation. The following tips can help you to find modern-styled cupboards whose prices you can afford without having to break the bank.
#1: Consider the Cabinet Material
The material component that defines a given type of modern-styled cabinets can reveal to you the cost of that cabinet design. While cabinets made up of durable materials are expensive in terms of cost of purchase, they come with a guarantee of serving you for as long as you want them to.
Kitchen cabinets engineered from less durable materials, for example, fiberboard and a few laminate materials, are less costly in terms of purchase. However, such drawers can end up wasting all your money on repairs and refurbishments based on their unlimited susceptibility to tear and wear.
#2: Consider the Cabinet Manufacturer or Vendor
If you choose to buy modern kitchen cabinets from fake vendors or manufacturers, you can easily end up spending excessive amounts of cash for substandard types of cabinets. But if you decide to buy cabinets from legitimate manufacturers or vendors, you will get access to high-quality cabinet designs at prices that you can easily afford.
Therefore, if you want to find modern cabinets that will give value for your money, always consider where you intend to make your purchase. Reading customer reviews on different online shopping platforms that deal with modern-styled cabinets can help you spot the perfect place to make a purchase.

Are Modern Kitchen Cabinets Worth It?

Considering the remarkable features that define them, modern cupboards seem perfect for any kitchen interior design. To be specific, modern-styled kitchen cabinets are worth it based on the following.
1. Simplified Interior Design
Because they can match a myriad and kitchen designs, modern kitchen cabinets are valuable in terms of making any interior design process fun and effortless. Regardless of how less-proficient you are in beautifying a kitchen interior, you can achieve any kitchen interior outlook if you work with modern-styled cupboards.
The majority of colors or shades that these drawers come with are compatible with lots of other different colors. The majority of modern cabinets, therefore, are held in high esteem because of the convenience of styling them.
2. Functionality
From varieties made up of natural materials to those featuring mixtures of artificial and man-made materials, modern cupboards are all about practicability. With their simple designs, you can pair them with anything to achieve any interior outlook. Because of the typical materials they come with, all varieties of modern cabinets are easier to maintain in the sense that they are difficult to scratch and stain.
3. Cost Effectiveness
Modern kitchen cabinets are also worth it based on their durability standard. Even though they can at times be costlier to acquire, these drawers can provide service for years without showing any need for repair or refurbishment. Consequently, all modern cabinet models are known to fetch better resale prices.
Moreover, unlike some types of cabinets which are costlier in terms of maintenance, modern-styled cupboards are less expensive to maintain. With undoubtedly strong water and scratch-resistant properties, modern-styled drawers don’t require constant cleaning, which is justifiably cost-effective.
4. Multiple Design Options
Considering how modern kitchen cabinets come in a myriad of varieties, including varieties with traditional features, they provide multiple design options that homeowners can choose from when modeling their cookhouses. Therefore, regardless of whether your kitchen seems modern or traditional, modern-styled cupboards can work best for your interior design needs.

Final Thoughts

If you have ever wanted to install modern-looking cabinets in your kitchen, you need to do that now. Modern kitchen cabinets are not only in fashion but also the top-trending cabinet designs. From their colors and ornamentation features to shapes and layouts, the highlight of these drawers is their visual attractiveness. Modern-styled cabinets are versatile, cost-effective, and uniquely functional.

Weird question, but I have no better way to express it. It's said that Magneto is the lord of magnetism; his mutant power is to manipulate magnetic fields. But the extension and uses of this power go beyond simple abuse. The best and most stupid example is the fact he is kind of "invulnerable" to firearms using his magnetic field to protect himself by deflecting bullets. Only that lead is not magnetic at all, his powers should useless against it!!!
Talk about flying, how can he defy gravity with magnetism? "The iron on his body is subject to magnetism, so he simply manipulates it, kind of repelling it from the ground!" Yeah, only that a person has in total about 4 grams of iron scattered on the whole body. Hard to think so insignificant particles could hold an adult hovering above ground, let alone make him fly freely.
He could manipulate body of metals like cars (maybe forging some kind of shield or armor for protection) , destroy infrastructure like buildings (given the iron on its foundations/walls), create EMPs and cause havoc with electronics/vehicles in a given radius, and even isntakill any enemy by manipulating those 4 grams of iron on the enemy's body into a needle to the heart/brain. But aside from that, all the other uses for his so called magnetic power does not seem magnetic at all.
I get that (almost) every mutant has a unique signature power and sometimes these powers are stretched way beyond logic. But in Magnetos case his feats seem more telekinesis than magnetism per se.

Hi! I virtually evaluate kids ranging from 4-10 who are suspected to be Autistic. I'm evaluating their language primarily, using the CELF, but I also spend a little bit of time looking at their social communication skills during each eval. I work as part of an interdisciplinary team and the physician often asks me about their social skills. I know there are tons of things on TPT that look at social skills, but nothing I've seen really fits my needs.
Do you guys have any go-to questions that you like to ask to give you some insight into things such as perspective-taking ability or ability to recognize emotions? For example, one that I often ask is "How would your friend feel if they accidently broke your toy?" I need more options because that one seems to be too simple for a lot of kids.

Hello all,
Apologies if this gets asked a lot or this is too simple a question. I’m very new to modding, and have played Skyrim to death on PS4 (with my last playthrough being 3+ years ago). I’m really excited to download a mod list and re-experience the game on PC, just not sure which one would be the best for what I want.
Here’s what I’m looking for:

• Tons of add-ons/extra quests/ areas (Bruma, Reach, ect). The more the better- I’d love to explore new content I haven’t seen before.
  
• Visuals: the best I can get for my rig (see below)
  
• Immersion: more npcs, better towns, bigger cities, weather, dialogue- whatever I can get to make Skyrim feel more real and lived-in. I want to take my time and explore.
  
• Cities: gonna make special mention of it here because this is an aspect I love. I want bigger, better, deeper population centers. Same goes for villages etc. Doesn’t have to be crazy.
  

Stuff I’m curious about but not a dealbreaker:

• Survival/hardcore: I’m really intrigued by Requiem mods, and don’t mind a slower playthrough where I have to survive. Seems really fun and I always set restrictions for myself back when I was on PS4 (no fast travelling, for example). I’m definitely down for REALISM.
  
• Combat: never really thought much about combat- I was always into Skyrim for the escapism aspect/RPG elements. That being said, if there’s a list that features a combat overhaul that still FEELS like Skyrim (with some give n take), I’d be willing to consider it.
  

I was looking at Wildlander and Elysium (though I’m a bit worried about stability with Elysium, as well as if it can run on my rig). Another one I’ve been looking at is Do Not Go Gently. Still not sure what is best.
My Rig: Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3060 ti
Thanks in advance!

It is not all that well implemented and there are several bugs.
First, while making a new post or in comments (that applies to desktop as well) you can only use the Markdown editor.
Second, if you want to make a simple line break you must use the Markdown editor and add to the end of the line \ or more cumbersomely

>
 

Third, it seems to ruin formatting such as Markdown line breaks when returning to edit a post. Another example is trying to make a set of parentheses as superscript in the rich text editor not applying to the closing parenthesis. You need to use the Markdown editor and write it like this: ^((text)^)
But the second ^ also gets deleted when returning to edit the post.
Please consider ironing these out. Thanks.

I have a very simple implementation of fulltext search whereby, when I create a "SearchDocument" record I store the language of the text (for example english), and then I store the content using

 to_tsvector('english', 'the content') 

in a tsvector column.
Now, as you can imagine, different records have different languages. So I need to store the language the to_tsvector used so that I know which language to use during query time.
I do all this preprosseing upfront since write time is not so important for us, and we want to optimize for fast query times.
I also index the tsvector colum using a GIN index.
This has usually been fast enough. However I have found that when searching for upwards of 500k rows, it's not fast for our needs. Queries were taking about 3 seconds to run. I couldn't work out what was causing the slowdown at first.
The way we searh is something like this

to_tsquery(language_column::regconfig, 'searh query') 

I tried several things, none of them made it faster. The I swapped out language_column::regconfig for a hard coded value of "english", just to test it.
This changed the qeury time from 3 seconds to about 400ms. And also drastically reduced the cost of the query.
So, what is causing this slow down?
I've tried indexing the language column using a standard B-tree index, and nothing. I also tried to index the tsvector column AND language column together in a gin index.. but I'm not sure that makes sense, and regardless it didn't make a difference.
I'm considering just dropping the language support altogether and just using a simple dictionary which I can then hardcode to maintain query peformance.. but that's a shame as I'm starting to wonder if, without the language dictionaries, is there any advantage of using tsvector over say, just a standard similarity trifram search...? (right now I'm doing both to optimize results.. note this is not the source of the slow down, its the language column).
Is what I'm trying to do achievable? How can you know which langauage to use at query time if you don't know what language was used to index that content??

Xavier is just a huge box of green flags as a boyfriend. He dotes on us constantly and is nursing us back to health when we are injured. I love how the game explores the idea of Xavier being worried if we love him for who he really is vs. the fantasy we have of him (Lumiere) in our head. Lumiere is a persona he assumes when he has to fight large hordes of wanderers, and killing is something he feels very conflicted about doing. He also seems to prefer an uncomplicated, simple, peaceful life to one of being idolized. It’s ironic how Xavier is a fantasy 2D boyfriend but also in the game he wants to be loved for the “real” him. Real him wants to tend to flowers, cuddle, play video games, and do normal things. So often in dating we realize that sometimes we love or are loved for the idea of who we are instead of who we want to be. We don’t want people to admire us for just our accomplishments or what we can do for them, we want people who love us no matter what and truly adore our company.
Gameplay: Lumiere as a battle companion is excellent for crowd control. I love the incorporation of moon phases into his animation. Ardent oath and resonance skills will drop you somewhere far from your attackers so you can attack from a safe distance. I love how it fits with Xavier’s habit of creating both personal distance in our relationship and trying to get us out of harm’s way to keep us safe. Lumiere might not be an ideal companion for fights where you’re facing one big boss because basically you’ll be spending precious seconds trying to run closer to whatever you’re attacking, and he keeps pushing you out of the way.
Other notes: I always wonder how Zayne and Xavier’s interactions are since they’re the two who seem to be most likely to run into each other while one is with the MC. For example, Xavier is talking about taking her to her doctor’s appointment, and while the storylines are separated, it’s implied they all exist in the same universe. And it also seems that in the separate love storylines the boys consider themselves to be in an exclusive relationship with MC. Xavier often says he can hear us in our apartment - does that mean he heard “Cozy Afternoon” and “Business Trip” too? 🫣 And more than once MC has to go to the hospital for wanderer related injuries, often accompanied by Xavier, where Dr. Zayne is her primary care physician and he mentions worrying about seeing her among the injured. It makes me think about how someone could be the love of your life in one universe and just your doctor or coworker in another.

Hello,
I tried to encode in AV1 with DoVi and it worked perfectly.
Now I'm trying to encode a source that has DoVi (in profile 8.1 in this case) and HDR10+ but in this case I lose the hdr10+ layer for only simple HDR10. I've also tried encoding seuelemnt with HDR10+ without DoVi and again the encoding doesn't keep the dynamic layer.
I've seen that you can encode HDR10+ in AV1 via Rigaya hardware encoders with NVENC for example, but I don't own any AV1 hardware encoders and besides I don't want to encode with my library of films and series.
Here are the parameters I use via staxrip (with SVT-AV1-PSY 2.0.0-7+6-62325458-.Mod-by-Patman.-x64-msvc1937) :
--rc 0 --crf 27 --progress 3 --enable-hdr 1 --preset 7 --tune 0 --keyint 2s --scd 1 --enable-overlays 1 --color-primaries 9 --transfer-characteristics 16 --matrix-coefficients 9 --chroma-sample-position 2 --mastering-display "G(0.2650,0.6900)B(0.1500,0.0600)R(0.6800,0.3200)WP(0.3127,0.3290)L(1000.0000,0.0050)" --content-light "699,333"
Am I missing something, or does SVT-AV1 still not support HDR10+ encoding?
Thanks!

MY REBUTTAL TO THE OBLIGATORY “IS THIS A SCAM?” QUESTION:
At the risk of sounding arrogant, I consider myself to be at least marginally more intelligent (both academically & socially) than the average person. Therefore, if I ever decided to suddenly risk prison time, risk my reputation, and risk enduring the wrath of modern-day “cancel culture” by scamming people out of their money:

• I certainly wouldn’t do it for such paltry amounts of money. (i.e., anything less than $1,000 per victim.)
• I certainly wouldn’t choose high school & college students as my “target audience” to scam, considering that most people without college degrees have abysmally low annual incomes. Why choose low-income victims when it would be much more profitable to target high-income, high-net-worth individuals earning at least six figures a year? I have knowledge in business consulting, and I promise you that a business owner would be a MUCH more lucrative mark than a low-income college student.
• I wouldn’t choose such a time & energy-draining method of scamming people. Also, communicating back and forth with potential clients is an absurdly long time sink since only less than 10% of all potential clients who reach out to me actually become paying clients of mine. This means that 90% of my time communicating with potential clients ultimately proves to be a colossal waste of my irretrievable time & energy.
• If you pay me to provide academic services and I don’t deliver, you can always dispute the payment with the payment app and easily get your money refunded. If I were in the habit of swindling money from people, then all of my payment accounts would have been investigated and be completely shut down by now. And I would have been permanently banned from opening new accounts. Therefore, the fact that all my payment apps have been fully active for years should be sufficient proof that I haven’t had people consistently disputing payments sent to me.

HOW TO CONTACT ME:

• If you are interested in my services and would like to learn more info, please feel free to reach out to me.
• Text messages and email are the fastest and easiest ways to get in touch with me. However, I gladly accept phone calls.
• If I don't respond right away, I am most likely helping a student at the time and not currently available to speak on the phone. But I always make a solid effort to reply to texts, emails, and phone calls within an hour.

Creating a simulation project is an excellent way for beginners in social media management (SMM) to build a portfolio and gain practical experience. Here's a detailed guide on setting up and managing a fictional business's social media as part of a simulation to demonstrate your capabilities as an SMM:
"For beginners not well-versed in graphic design and branding, focus on simple, achievable tasks using user-friendly tools like Canva."

Step 1: Choose a Business and Define Its Brand

• Select a Business Type: Choose a type of business that interests you, such as a local bakery, a yoga studio, or an online clothing store.
• Define the Brand: Establish the brand's voice, color scheme, and overall aesthetic. Determine the brand's values and the message it wants to convey to its audience.

Step 2: Create Brand Elements

• Logo: Design a simple logo using Canva or another graphic design tool. Ensure it aligns with the business's brand identity.
• Tagline: Create a catchy and memorable tagline that encapsulates the essence of the business.

Step 3: Develop a Social Media Strategy

• Identify Your Target Audience: Define who the business's products or services are for based on demographics like age, location, interests, and behaviors.
• Choose Social Media Platforms: Select platforms that best reach your target audience. For most businesses, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are staples.
• Set Goals and Objectives: These might include increasing brand awareness, driving traffic to a website, or growing audience engagement.

Step 4: Create a Content Calendar

• Plan Your Posting Schedule: Decide how often to post on each platform. A common strategy is to post 1-2 times a day on Instagram and 3-5 times a week on Facebook.
• Develop Content Themes: For consistency and engagement, create daily themes like:
  • Motivation Monday: Inspirational quotes or stories.
  • Tutorial Tuesday: How-to videos or step-by-step guides.
  • Feature Friday: Highlight products, services, or customer testimonials.
• Include Relevant Hashtags: Research and use popular hashtags that align with your business and posts.

Step 5: Produce and Schedule Content

• Create Posts: Use your branding elements to design posts. Tools like Canva are great for creating high-quality visual content.
• Write Captions: Develop engaging and relevant captions that include calls to action, such as asking followers to comment, share, or visit a website.
• Schedule Posts: Use a tool like Buffer, Hootsuite, or Facebook's scheduling tool to plan your posts in advance.

Step 6: Simulate Engagement and Analytics

• Engage: Even though this is a simulation, practice writing responses to comments and messages. Think about how you would handle customer service inquiries or feedback.
• Track Performance: Although you won’t have real analytics, create hypothetical data based on your objectives. For example, imagine how many likes, shares, or comments each post could realistically generate.

Step 7: Evaluate and Adjust Your Strategy

• Monthly Review: At the end of each month, review your hypothetical analytics to evaluate what worked and what didn’t.
• Adjust Tactics: Make changes to your strategy based on your review. This could involve altering your posting frequency, trying different types of content, or refocusing on different aspects of engagement.

Step 8: Compile Your Work Into a Portfolio

• Document Everything: Keep records of your strategy documents, content calendars, post designs, and engagement tactics.
• Create Case Studies: Write up case studies on your strategy, implementation, and hypothetical results to showcase your skills and approach to potential clients or employers.

By following these steps, you can create a robust simulation of social media management for a fictional business. This can serve as a showcase of your skills and abilities in the field of social media management. This experience not only enhances your portfolio but also boosts your confidence when applying for real-world SMM positions or freelance opportunities.
