I’ve been thinking of getting this for a while now but can’t quite pull the trigger on it. I’ve got walking dead 1+2 and Arizona sunshine 2 which I love but this game really intrigues me. I’m just wondering what people’s thoughts on this are? Graphics, gameplay? Has it had any updates in the last year?. I’d be playing solo mostly but I know it supports 4 player co-op. Thanks in advance!

What is Omnia Protocol?

Omnia Protocol is a cutting-edge decentralized infrastructure protocol designed to provide secure and reliable access to the blockchain. By ensuring that no single point of failure can disrupt blockchain applications or wallets integrating with it, Omnia Protocol stands out in its field. It allows anyone to earn rewards by hosting and maintaining a node on a specific blockchain, all while placing a strong emphasis on privacy and offering untraceable blockchain access.

What Problems Does Omnia Protocol Address?

Omnia Protocol tackles two critical issues within the blockchain ecosystem:
1. Centralized Blockchain Access:

• Traditional blockchain interactions are often centralized through corporations acting as node providers, which introduces significant risks. The chain's strength is limited by its weakest link.
• Omnia Protocol decentralizes this process, incentivizing nodes to participate and ensuring blockchain access in a trusted and decentralized manner.

2. Off-Chain Privacy:

• Although on-chain privacy has seen advancements with technologies such as Zero Knowledge Proofs and Ring Signatures, off-chain privacy concerns remain largely unaddressed.
• Omnia Protocol bridges this gap by providing a secure and private method for accessing the blockchain, ensuring comprehensive privacy.

Benefits of Omnia Protocol

Omnia Protocol offers several notable benefits:
Decentralized Access:

• It ensures a decentralized method of accessing the blockchain, reducing single points of failure and addressing privacy concerns.

Rewards for Node Hosting:

• Individuals can earn rewards by hosting and maintaining nodes on specific blockchains.

Privacy:

• Omnia Protocol places a strong focus on privacy, offering untraceable access to the blockchain.

High Performance:

• It provides fast, reliable, and customizable RPC nodes with guaranteed 100% uptime and 24/7 support.

Features and Advantages of Omnia Protocol

Omnia Protocol comes with a range of impressive features and advantages:
Secure Endpoints:

• Users can generate secure endpoints for their wallets or applications when accessing the blockchain.

Rewards for Resource Sharing:

• Node owners are rewarded for sharing their resources by running blockchain nodes and/or privacy relayers.

Staking:

• Node providers must stake OMNIA tokens to join the network.

Front-running Protection:

• DEX transactions are protected from being exploited by front-running bots in the public mempool.

High Availability:

• Omnia Protocol offers fast, free, and secure public RPC endpoints with enhanced privacy and high availability guarantees.

Governance Token

The governance token for Omnia Protocol is the OMNIA token. This token unlocks a world of possibilities, showcasing OMNIA’s commitment to innovation by seamlessly integrating DeFi principles with an RPC provider that both protects and rewards its users. Node providers and privacy relayers stake OMNIA tokens to participate in the network.

UVA moved the decision date from 5/1 to 5/15 so my student is just now filling out the pre-enrollment form for classes. We were originally under the impression that you’d meet with an advisor and do all of the course selection at orientation. Which types of classes should she select on the pre-enrollment form? She won’t get AP scores for math or language until early July so she doesn’t know which math or language level to select. We heard to check Lou’s List for classes, but some already show as full so we’re feeling late even though the decision date deadline isn’t even over yet. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hei, hi and hello!
I’m Onsie Onsfjord or Fjord feel free to call me whichever is not mind to me.
I’m a 26-year-old English Norwegian who’s mainly lived his whole life in the United Kingdom and graduated from university with a degree in Computer Networks and is now working as a DIE for the NHS (Digital Infrastructure Engineer).
Caught you off guard with that job title acronym huh? Yeah, trust me when I first started it had me in fits of laughter, but you get used to it after a while.
So a bit about me;

• I’m an introvert and tend to avoid public crowds, events and such and just try to vibe with friends on a nice game of anything (which you’ll see below)
• I’m an avid IT nerd and will most likely remain this way for my whole career as IT is my education and career at this point
• On top of IT you guessed it I’m also a very big avid “gamer” I mainly play PC and PS5 games with my current interests being in Helldivers 2, Star Wars: The Fallen Order, and Jedi: Survivor amongst a few other things like WoW, CoD, SWTOR and so on.
• I love learning, whether it be history, game lore, languages, cultures, etc. You name it, and I’ll probably be interested in it (Trust me, you give me a flag of any country, and I’ll be able to tell you the country’s name and political structure.
• I’m also an avid book reader and you’ll most likely see my shelf full of different manga from all types of genres, I don’t particularly watch anime, I mainly read instead because I find it more “interesting” for better or not. (Not that I'm opposed to watching it) - I’m trying to learn to cook myself but not very good at it as my most recent attempt I ended up giving myself food poisoning so it’s sufficient to say you will have a big gamble if you’d like me to cook ha-ha.
• I do watch football from time to time and do support a few clubs from around the world (mainly northern Europe, the UK, and the US) feel free to guess if you’d like!
• I’m currently on a VLCD and have lost about 2 stone within 1 month which I’m super super happy about.

In terms of looks and such I’m what an average 26-year-old would look like who is 6’1/6’2 with a picture on request.
Please don’t judge too much as I’m still working on improving myself.
What am I about? I’ve always made it a goal to help, care for, and support those close to me, whether it be friends, old friends, or the equivalent of my family. They’ve been there for me, and I’ll go hell and back for them as they’ve stood by me through thick and thin, even through the loss of other close friends; they’ve picked me up and brushed me down and set me straight to which I will always forever be in their debt and have helped them being.
Whilst I’ve been shot and backstabbed by many of those who I thought were close to me I just try and see the positive and avoid the unnecessary drama and arguments as life is just way too generally short for that kind of stuff and we should all get along with each other in my mind.
What am I looking for? I apologize if this comes off as really picky

• Someone in the realm of the US, Canada or Europe
• Someone between the age of 20 to 28 years old
• Someone who has an interest in IT, manga, gaming, and such (It’s easier to talk to people with the same interest I’ve found though you don’t need to work in IT at all)
• Just be a kind honest individual who I can back and vice versa. Be there for each other.

I am looking for a monogamous and serious relationship and not a friendship, however, I’m fine with starting out as friends whilst getting to know each other etc.
The end? Well, I’d like to say that this was the short and sweet version of myself without giving much more away about me but hey hopefully you’ve stayed this far and if you have, I have a very small simple request for you!
If you do decide I’m someone you’d like to get to know and all of that stuff then when messaging me, please make a somewhat attempt of an introduction (I’m not asking for the mass of paragraphs or anything) just a hi, your name (doesn’t have to be your real name), where you’re from, how old are you, what you do, hobbies, etc and we’ll go from there!
Low-effort chats & messages will be removed also, so I know that you’ve made it this far please put your answers to this question (wrong answers don’t matter, it’s what is attempted counts)
“I was born in the winter on a remembrance day, which day was this?”
Take care and hope to see your message 😊

FULL VAULT RECORDS DOWNLOADED. PLEASE SELECT A TERMINAL TO VIEW RECORDS.
-RESEARCH LEAD RICHARD PANTON YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS SECURE FILES. PLEASE ENTER CREDENTIALS.
-HACK SUCCESSFUL!
CREDENTIALS ACCEPTED. WELCOME, RICHARD. OPENING SECURE RECORDS...
-Additional Parameters: OPENING... While the purpose of this experiment is to monitor all residents, and due diligence in this is required, particular attention is to be paid to the following residents for the stated reasons:
Overseer J. Kendall - Uninformed of true experiment before implementation.
Researcher Q. Saint - Early onset dementia. Volunteered for research position, was granted on basis of additionally taking part in the experiment.
Resident M. Michaels - Photographic memory.
Resident F. Darling - Short term memory loss.
Resident C. Darling - Long term memory loss.
-Failsafe Protocol: OPENING...
FOR USE IN THE EVENT OF CATASTROPHIC EXPERIMENTAL DISRUPTION. ALL SECTORS OF THE VAULT OTHER THAN THE PRIVATE QUARTERS OF R. PANTON WILL BE FLOODED WITH AN AEROSOLIZED NEUTRALIZATION AGENT, AUTOMATED SECURITY WILL BE DISPATCHED TO RETURN RESIDENTS TO THEIR QUARTERS, AND DEVICE ACTIVATION WILL OCCUR. CONTINUE?
-YES
-NO
-Overseer Failsafe: OPENING...
FOR USE IN THE EVENT OF CURRENT OVERSEER DISRUPTING EXPERIMENT PROTOCOLS, INTENTIONAL OR NOT. DEVICE WILL BE ACTIVATED ON OVERSEER AT NEXT ACTIVATION CYCLE WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE. CONTINUE?
-YES
-NO
-Research Logs: OPENING...
-Oct 30 - Nov 5: OPENING...
Control week. 0 activations. Several residents report various physical or mental health improvements, all tangential to experimental goals. Clear implication of placebo effect.
-Nov 6 - Nov 12: OPENING...
7 activations. No events outside of expected and acceptable deviations.
-Nov 13 - Nov 19: OPENING...
4 activations, 1 every other day. Beginning trials of variable and non-standard intervals between activations. One notable event - Researcher Saint mistakenly activated his own system an extra time. Event considered acceptable given Saint's preexisting condition; monitoring his interactions with other residents showed an assumption of his condition as an explanation of his behaviour.
-Nov 20 - Nov 26: OPENING...
1 activation. Extended periods of time between activations proven problematic, will continue to pursue despite. Numerous residents complaining of frequent, abnormally long sensations of "deja vú". Two notable events - One. F. Darling required isolation 3 days after most recent activation; expressed anxiety and staged a potentially violent incident over "alternate timelines" he believed he was viewing. Isolation caused conflict with C. Darling as well. Investigating long-term solution. Two. General populace has begun performing nearly the exact same actions after each activation, with insignificant differences. Residents will hold the same conversations, begin and end the same activities at the same times, etc, as prior activation cycles.
-Nov 27 - Dec 3: OPENING...
2 activations, 5 days apart. Several notable events. One. Researcher Saint asks to be recused from either experimentation or research. Declined before reason for request given. Two. All vault residents simultaneously experience rapid onset, intensely painful "thunderclap" headaches 3 days after first activation for the week. Three. A recurring conversation between M. Michaels and another resident results in secondary resident falling unconcious and being placed in infirmary after Michaels seemingly "went offscript", ie responded in a significantly different way from how this conversation normally goes. Resident did not wake until second activation of the week, no further changes observed.
-Dec 4 - Dec 10: OPENING...
8 activations. Major changes in paramaters to avoid disruption; F. Darling and Researcher Saint are to be pulled from general population and isolated after each activation under guise of quarantine related to surface world disease. Both residents have proven problematic on a consistent basis for opposite reasons; Darling's short-term memory loss seems to have slightly "immunized" him to the desired effects of the device while Saint has undergone an alarmingly rapid degeneration of his mental condition. General populace has begun reporting persistent, intense feelings of familiarity with places, events, and people that they should not remember. Failsafe protocol activated on day 3 as a result of a conversation between M. Michaels and F. Darling after Michaels breaks into secure zone. Hypothesizing that returns to daily activations will lessen or remove these issues.
-Dec 11 - Dec 17: OPENING...
7 activations. General populace has become deeply unwell, clearly retaining memories that are "just out of reach" from previous activation cycles. The strain on the psyche has physically damaged nearly 40% of residents, and has psychologically damaged over 80%. Repeat activations are not resolving symptoms as prior. Failsafe engaged on Overseer Kendall twice in 3 days. Full memory retention within 7 hours on both occassions. F. Darling and C. Darling have begun using their complementary conditions to understand the nature of the experiment, both are immediately apprehended and isolated by automated security after each activation under guise of "underground hysteria". Researcher Saint has degenerated to the point of near non-function, is taken to infirmary after each activation under guise of massive stroke in his sleep. M. Michaels has seemingly been unaffected by activations since experiment start. Clearly aware of experiment protocol, non-active threat as of yet; however Michaels has been apprehended by residents and automated security in secure zones on no less than 4 occassions. Unsure how to procee NOTE: TERMINAL ENTERED TIME-OUT SHUTDOWN BEFORE FINAL ENTRY WAS MANUALLY SAVED.

What’s it called when multiple poems create 1 story, but the poems aren’t necessarily the same format or in chronological order? Is there even a name for tat?

Hi, I would really like some help deciding on a laptop because I have near zero tech knowledge. My current laptop is an HP but the performance deteriorated after 3 years.
I'm now looking to upgrade to a better laptop but I'll be buying secondhand. I don't have a lot of time and after some searching I've narrowed down a few that I can afford. Please help me decide which one would be the best.
P. S: I'll be using the laptop for browsing, office apps and some graphic designing

Event Notes

• So far, all seems normal

Elsewhere in the Game

• Some issues affecting gameplay have been reported with version 11.4.0; that release has been paused while the programmers sort out a fix. (Link)
• As of May 1, Game Management will no longer give advance notice of Shiny Days mini-events. Odds are we’ll still get one every week or every other week, with the most frequent dates being the gap days between bigger events — so Mondays or Thursdays are most likely for now, at the usual 19:00 GMT start time.
• A new mini-event called “Race Event” is out for beta-testing to a small number of players; it’s described as a player-vs-player competition. (Link 1, Link 2)

STRATEGY TIPS

This is the only type of event where point producing items can be stockpiled ahead of time; for info and links to guides on bubbling as a storage option, please visit the Community FAQ.
The following are the most efficient or most frequently recommended ways to earn points:

• Tier 2 Nests of most breeds yield 900 points per tap, for a total of 3,600 to 6,300 points per nest.
• High level Goal Stars are an excellent source of points; the exact number of taps available varies by level and random chance.
  • L6 Star- 1056, L5 Star- 330, L4 Star- 99
• Level 2 Materials Chests offer unlimited quick and easy points; stockpiling stone bricks gives more flexibility than buying specific chests ahead of time:
  • Spectral Chest- 1305, Summoned Chest- 820, Chest of Beasts- 300, Solid Gold Chest- 80, Phobos Chest- 40
• Higher level free chests all yield well:

  • Grimm: L4- 792, L3- 240, L2- 72
  • Season: L4- 330, L3- 100

EVENT TROUBLESHOOTING

If the event is not showing up correctly or if glitches are affecting your play:

1. Check that you meet the version and dragon power requirements.
2. Try hard-closing and then relaunching your game.
3. Try rebooting your device (ie, turn it completely off, then back on and allow it to fully boot up before relaunching the game). If you are on wifi and have access to the router, try rebooting that, too.
4. Try switching to a completely different internet source.
5. Try clearing your game’s cache (google for instructions for your specific phone type).
6. If you’re suddenly experiencing multiple issues like lagging or error messages (or if the event vanishes completely), close the game and try again after 2-3 hours. Events are internet-based, and sometimes issues with the servers can cause temporary problems — all we can do for that is to wait it out.
7. If none of the above helps, contact Gram Games Support through the in-game link or the Support Web Portal for help figuring out what’s wrong.

• NOTE: Cloud Save is still unreliable: according to the developer, it is not safe to be used and should be left turned off.
• NOTE: Saving your Progress: Make sure to save your progress by traveling to the World Map screen (and waiting there until everything’s fully loaded) regularly, and especially before closing your game.

 
Edits are ongoing

Microsoft has successfully been converting people into thinking exclusives = bad for the industry and therefore they are making their games available on all platforms because they are “pro gamer”. Some gamers are completely buying this up and failing to realize Xbox is doing this because they don’t sell as much hardware as they would like for games to be profitable, and they literally tried to buy up the entire industry to beat PlayStation.
Now, players are demanding Sony do the same and put their exclusives on Xbox, completely neglecting the fact that Playstation isn’t bankrolled by a company like Xbox is Microsoft, who is willing to sustain years and years of losses/inability to achieve profitability goals.
Because of this, and because of the fact that PlayStation’s primary selling point IS ITS EXCLUSIVE GAMES, you will NEVER see day 1 releases of their SINGLE PLAYER (read that carefully, SINGLE PLAYER) games on PC/Xbox. They aren’t doing this to be anti-gamer, it is just their business strategy. Eventually, once the games have sold sufficient amounts on PlayStation and have presumably enhanced the console’s value proposition, the games move to PC. In no world will PlayStation first party single player games EVER go to Xbox.
Multiplayer games (e.g Hell Divers II) requiring as strong and committed a player base as possible will continue to see Day 1 PC/PlayStation releases, but again, will NEVER go to Xbox.
I am seeing A LOT of discourse around Final Fantasy in particular. Sure, its sales aren’t insane (insane being something like 10MM in a few months) BUT you fail to factor in Sony pays for exclusivity which enhanced the revenues of Final Fantasy beyond just units sold. Square Enix makes the business call that they don’t expect many players on Xbox to buy a JRPG (despite this subreddit swearing there is a large cohort of JRPG gamers on xbox) and would likely not make a lot of money on a xbox port. The PC certainly could be profitable but Sony likely was offering enough money for exclusivity that a PC port wasn’t as attractive anymore.
Ultimately, the PlayStation strategy is NOT selfish. Xbox, who was literally trying to do the most anti consumer thing in buying up all studios they could and then literally making their games exclusives till they realized their strategy didnt work, is not pro gamer.

So I’m starting a campaign and am new to dming so I said no magic for the most part for the characters. However one of my players asked if he could play the character in the title. I want to say yes because I think it’s an awesome idea but I don’t know what spells I would allow. I’m thinking I’d have him roll for the spell to work, and then another d100 after for the potency so if he rolled a 1 on fireball the guy might chafe a little but if it’s 100 an astroid falls from the sky. But I don’t know what/ how many spells I could do this with any ideas?

Hi, I can’t stop thinking about having sex, with my neighbour, I’ve been with my partner for 5 years, we are both 24 and 25, and have 2 kids, we are happy, usual arguments and stress but both happy in life. But recently I’ve seen my neighbour who I’ve smiled and said hey to, and vice versa. I’ve noticed he doesn’t really say hello if his partner is there, they have a 1 year old, only says hello when he’s alone, makes me think he’s got an alternative motive.
But since these little hey and smiles, I catch him looking over to my car and same with me, I can’t stop thinking about fcking him, I have no idea why as I’m happy with my partner and would NEVER act on it, I guess it’s just because it’s taboo? Has anyone else been in a similar situation. What is the best way to overcome this

I can’t believe I’ve slept on this show for so long and am nearing the end of season 1, it’s incredible.

If you have been studying for the GRE for any period of time, you likely have come across the term “smart numbers,” one of many GRE math strategies we’ll discuss in this article. Smart numbers are real numbers that you choose that make doing necessary calculations as simple as possible in a given problem.
For example, let’s say you need to determine what percent the final price of an item was of the original price, if the original price was first increased by 20 percent, and then decreased by 40 percent. To easily get through this question, we use the “smart number” of 100 for the original price, and then we calculate as follows:
The increase of 20 percent yields: 100 x 1.2 = 120
The decrease of 40 percent yields: 120 x 0.6 = 72
Thus, the new price is 72/100 x 100 = 72 percent of the original.
We see that by using a “smart number” of 100, we easily came up with the correct answer of 72 percent.
Warmest regards,
Scott

Hey everyone! Six months into my journey as a team lead for a team of five, and it's been an enlightening experience to say the least.
At some point, my ability to lead this team was questioned by the stakeholders 🙁.
Was due to poor visibility of my work (because a lot of my work involves helping the team to work efficiently, and not always acting as an individual contributor)
Fortunately, I managed to turn this around using two key strategies, one of which comes with a bonus.
The first strategy is about communication—simple to understand but challenging to maintain consistently (myself included). It involves discipline. A useful tactic for me has been writing weekly updates about the team's progress. While it can be tedious, once you develop the habit, it becomes invaluable for maintaining stakeholders' peace of mind.
The other one is about the art of setting up expectations correctly—especially around deadlines. It's not just about setting them; it's about setting them right. For this, two of the following three points are crucial:

• Introducing buffer tickets to our projects for those unexpected tasks or extensions. Unexpected work always happens, so don’t plan the unexpected but leave buffers for the unexpected…
• Encouraging devs to estimate tasks themselves to foster ownership and should also be responsible for erroneous forecast.
• Then, after devs have estimated all the work**, ask again** for the maximum time they believe tasks could take, and always plan with that in mind to avoid the all-too-common pitfalls of underestimation. Devs are usually too optimistic about deadlines.

Now, stakeholders see that I meet deadlines and are kept informed about the team's performance; they trust me even more.
Bonus tip at the end of this post.
Currently, my main challenges are:

• Ensuring that my team members is happy and learning new things every week.
• How to conduct 1-on-1s with the team and keep track of this. (I was doing them biweekly, I will switch to monthly).
• Keep track of retro’s action points and individual action points I discuss in the 1-on-1s.
• How to think of action points in the 1-on-1s
• Having a good knowledge base for the team. All knowledge is spread in Slack, Notion, the code (& tests), etc.

Right now I'm looking for any tool for team (not task) management. Any recommendations? Also any book recommendations?
What pain points do you have while managing a team?
BONUS: To your stakeholder, your boss, etc. If you say some work is going to take 2 weeks, and it takes you 2 weeks. And you do this somehow consistently. They will trust you. HOWEVER, a better way to gain trust faster is: if you say some work is going to take 3 weeks and it takes you 2 weeks, they will trust you even more and faster.

Hi guys, I am new into kettlebells. I’m 25, 193cm (6’3 ish I guess) and 88kg (195lbs). I am generally speaking in a decent shape. I make around 8,5-9k steps daily. Before pandemic I used to weight 65kg (143lbs). During lockdown I trained with barbells and dumbbells for like 6-7 months and got to 82kg (180lbs). Then I went back to Uni where I couldn’t continue due to lockdown etc. I’ve never got back to that regularity bar summer holidays at home (so 2 months tops), cause I’ve always been weirdly anxious about public gyms. I picked up different hobbies like MMA or running but couldn’t stick to it because I didn’t like it or injuries etc. This year I decided to give a gym another chance and I’ve been fairly consistent doing 2-4 FBW training per week. I gained 4kg (9lbs) since January and I am in a decent shape for my standards. Obv my PRs aren’t impressive. BP 45kg (started with 25) / DL 55kg (started with 30) / Squat 50kg (started with 25) done in 4 series 10-12 reps. So there was some constant progress and challenge.
During a bank holiday 2 weeks ago I went home but wasn’t super keen on doing FBWs, so I decided to do some swings (100 in 10 series EMOM) and push-ups, cause I’ve seen some videos about it being king of excercises. It took me arround 20 minutes and I felt very fresh and energized after, probably thanks to aerobic effect of the training. So I decided to give it a go thanks to being really simple and short. I am a med student so time is of an essence. Here I am 3rd week, after 10th session. Started with 8kg quickly moved to 12kg and then after 1 session to 16 which seems to be optimal for now (although it becomes weirdly lighter form session to session). For first 8 I did 10min EMOM and 60-70 push ups divided into 3-4 sets, but last 2 sessions I did some routine from YT: 10 swings on 0:00, 3:00, 6:00 etc. 10 push ups, on 1:30, 4:30, 7:30 etc. 100 swings and 100 push-ups total in 30 mins. Whereas first one was hard today’s was easier, so I think maybe I will do this EMOM method, but I am kind of lost.
I feel like for those 3 weeks I’ve neglected upper body with biceps and shoulders especially. I thought about starting ABC method and I’ve even did some cleans and presses (12kg) from dead weight (without hinge) and felt biceps and shoulders afterwards but I don’t know if it is right moment to do that in a proper way. I saw a video of some guy named Mark Wildman who said KBs are the way to go BUT you should work on swings for year or two before moving to other motions. I don’t know if I misunderstood or maybe it was some marketing stint for his programs but it seems odd to be honest.
So here is my question. What would you guys suggest to work on? 3-4 times ~30-40 min. I don’t care about bodybuilder physique but it would be nice to have proportional body and whereas my legs look more defined my upper body (maybe besides back) looks worse. And what about chest? I’be seen a lot of you guys here to have great physique of healthy and athletic person not necessarily body builders. And this is what I am trying to achieve. Obviously I am aware that is a long process but I am looking for guindance. I think it is good activity for me because eventually I can move entirely to my apartment instead of paying membership and wasting time for commmuting.

Hey guys! Took my about 1 year old cat to the ER the other day for some constipation and was able to get that figured out pretty easily and now he’s on a laxative. While there they noticed a grade 4/6 heart murmur and did a proBNP test which came back abnormal (they said it’s barely abnormal on their end but they had to go with what the computer said). I’m just very nervous because this is the very first mention of anything with his heart, vets always said he sounded great. I took him to a different vet a month or so ago for a microchip and they listened to the heart and said it was fine, so I’m just curious if anyone knows how sudden a heart murmur can begin and how quickly it can escalate. I have a cardiologist appt in two weeks as the doctor suggested I take him ASAP but I just wanted to ask here for some peace of mind! This cat is my pride and joy, he’s been through SO much as he had his tail amputated as a baby so I’d love some advice and positive words from anyone who has a cat with heart issues. Thank you!

I see so many of you say you’re giving up on finding a job and pursuing DoorDash/other industries (no judgement I still DoorDash if I’m really bored) is it really that difficult if you generally apply yourself and put in time?
my little brother is considering a computer science degree at the moment. What is the hiring environment usually like for grads? I know that it is difficult, but I guess what I’m trying to ask is, if my little brother is the “average” CS student (let’s say 3.2 or 3.1 GPA) upon graduation with a bachelors, will he be able to find a good role that isn’t underpaid and shit? In my area the median household income is about 65-70k. In the same environment, hypothetically, does the average BS grad tend to actually get a role paying like 85k starting in a MCOL?
Idc if he doesn’t go to a FAANG, but I need to know that at worst case scenario if he’s just an average CS grad he will still be able to obtain a comfortable, livable income. I’d rather not see him get stuck at a help desk role. I just see far too many posts from CS grads that say they can’t find jobs, and currently I’m way too ignorant about the CS industry to understand what he needs to do to ensure he will be in good shape for a promising and comfortable career.
We are pretty broke. Financial aid isn’t giving shit bc my mom lives in a VHCOL so on paper it seems like she earns a lot. It’s still a sub-six figure salary in a VHCOL, so it really doesn’t go far. I just don’t want my brother to have to go through all this effort if he’s not going to be able to get into the industry.
My other concern is he is potentially going to get a full ride to Long Island university due to his academics, but I’ve been hearing scary things about them shutting down departments, having administration teach classes after they fire faculty etc. I’m just really concerned that this school, while it may get him an almost free CS degree, might not have the network or resources that the state schools have. I have no clue wtf leetcode is or what projects he should do, but now I’m having fears that the department may not actually care to develop him considering LIU is a private school, they may not spend the effort to tell him what GitHub projects or when should he be searching for an internship etc.
He got accepted to every school he applied for, but due to severe cost constraints, it’s going to need to be either LIU or a local community college where he gets an associates and transfers into a state 4 year. Not sure what is better, a private school environment that may not develop him enough, or a community college environment where he will have to try much harder to overcome community college stigma to get a good role.

I'm a first year med student in Uzbekistan, so my goal is to become a resident in the US. Not really worried about STEPS, my main concern is matching and CVs and since becoming a resident in the US is not quite popular in my country, it is all really vague for me.
My question is 1. what are the things that I should do to improve my CV and matching chance, 2. what can I include, 3. what is a waste of time, I have 5 another years to study in the university (6 years overall). P.S. I want to apply for otorhinolaryngology and if there is any tips that I should know, thank you in advance for information. Also, I think by graduating year, I will have enough experience, cuz my dad here in UZB has a clinic and works as an otorhinolaryngologist, so he has like 30 years of experience and he will teach me all the stuff.
I've read a post here saying that ENT is a very competitive field so do I really have a chance guys?
