Give him a visible scope so people can see the sniper sight line like the ones in MvM but make it more visible as it charges so if it’s at full charge it practically can be seen from far distances if it’s at low charge you can barely see it. Make him have a 3 second delay when scoping so he can’t turn around and quickscope you, give him longer reloading or just give him actual clips like the other classes

As awful as TSCC is, not everything they taught was bad. What are some things you learned through church that were actually good?
I'll go first: The Law of Opposition. It taught me to think about things in relative terms instead of absolutes, to realize that some things that are considered bad are only bad from a certain perspective. That helped in the development of my critical thinking skills since I had learned about opposition from an early age. Oops, guess that was an unintended consequence. 😜
Another one was public speaking. Don't get me wrong, I hate it (especially with my anxiety disorder), and I hated giving talks back then too. But I'm GOOD at it. I had to give a fair number of presentations in college as part of my various English courses and professionally after that for proposals. My profs were always impressed and gave me perfect or near perfect scores and my bosses were likewise pleased with my presentations. If I'd been 'allowed' to turn down the talks I had been assigned at church, I would've done it in a heartbeat and I wouldn't have had that had start on mastering a valuable skill.
Let's hear yours!

Just built a Timmy Overdrive kit from Tayda, build went well and I had no issues. However I’ve noticed if the sleeve of one of the DC jacks (male) from my power supply touches the housing as I plug in the pedal then all my power turns off and then comes back on when I break the connection. Pedal works fine otherwise.
I’m using an aluminium 1590B enclosure - let me know more info is needed.
Is this meant to happen? It’s not an issue that’s affecting my rig in any way I just feel like this shouldn’t be happening… how can I potentially stop this from happening?
If my description isn’t good enough I can provide a video of the issue.

Dear SiMadam Maple Hams,
A lot of these claims are not the fault of the Naval Experience Program (herein referred to as the NEP).
The NEP has no control over the activities of PAT platoon units. If these units do not place their Sailors into their next courses - then they are failing their own sailors.
I know a lot of actual sailors who have been wasting away on pat platoon waiting for their initial trade course to start.
This has been normal since time immemorial. It was bad during COVID because measures were in place and courses were outright cancelled, but prior to that - most trades were running 1-2 courses per year. Now some trades are running 3 courses a year.
I would also like to point out that NEP candidates cannot complete with any sailors waiting for their trades course because NEP candidates first have to actually sign a contract after picking a trade. Once they pick a trade, they will have to wait with the rest of these Sailors in PAT platoons.
Now I’m seeing 1 year contract NEPs, with no trade and no requirement to extend, getting NETP before actual sailors.
Also not the NEP's fault. Any unit can nominate a Sailor for NETP. You can email the NFS(A/P) NETP Booking Cell and the people there are very nice and helpful and will happily load Sailors. All you need to do is ask for the course list, pick a course date, fill in the form with the Sailor's name, rank, and service number - and boom. That Sailor is loaded.
Between May 16 and October 01 of this year, there are a total 8 NETP Courses scheduled and are capable of handling maybe 20-25 Sailors.
And the sad fact is... They have had to beg units for people to enroll - otherwise they would have to cancel the course... I know for a fact they had to cancel two courses this year already, so if you personally know any units that have Sailors that need NETP, then please give them a call!
They’re doing dive courses, I even heard of some attending clearance diver selection (might be a rumour), before actual sailors who have been requesting it for years.
For the third time, this is also not the NEP program's fault, nor is it outside their control.
FDU(A/P) publishes a list of scheduled courses every year. Rescue Swimmer, Port Inspection Diver, Supervisor Courses, Ship's Team Diver, Clearance Diver - you name it.
A person interested in this course must first submit a memo through their chain of command, Diver Officer, and complete a checklist with their unit's Health Services to pass Dental and Part 1 and 2 medicals (actual requirements vary depending on the course).
This process can last weeks to several months - and that depends on how much support a Sailor gets from their CoC and Health Services unit.
Now again, like the NETP situation if units do not support their Sailor's applications, then that Sailor goes no where. The NEP is not actively nudging these Sailors off courses.
If anything, the NEP is actually making some of these courses possible because FDU(A/P) is not getting enough people who are properly processed with completed checklist to actually show up ready for the courses!
So far this year 1 course almost got cancelled - but because the NEP was able to provide bodies, they were able to run the course!
As I write this, a course in June is also currently in jeopardy of being cancelled due to not having enough enrollees.
So no, the NEP is not stealing spots off Sailors who have been waiting years for their dive course.... The NEP is doing everything right within their power to make sure their candidates have gone through official channels to get their applications and checklists completed, and by doing so, providing enough bodies for FDU to actually run courses.
And yes - one NEP candidate from the East Coast and one from the West Coast have completed Clearance Diver training.
One did not get selected however, but that is the Clearance Diver unit's perogative. (Its called Selection after all).
But can you really fault these two NEP candidates for passing a physically and mentally demanding course...?
The programme is a complete ruse designed to make these people have a fun year that they can brag about to their friends and hopefully they’ll sign a real contract.
Not gonna lie, that is the intention.
We want sailors. We NEED sailors.
If it gets them through the door of recruiting, and if they sign a new contract to continue being in the Navy - then by all metrics the program is working.
And so far, I have seen only 1 person out of 75 that has voluntarily released in the 1 year this program has run.
Morale in the fleet is getting beat down lower everyday and watching these people come in and take your spot on the course or sail you’ve been dying to get isn’t doing any favours.
If the argument is that *"NEP candidates are having fun, but people in the fleet aren't" *then something else is wrong in the fleet, and the NEP is not the cause of that - with the reasons I have listed above.
Each and every unit, ship, and organization within the CAF and the fleet are near seperate entities - each with their own challenges.
Saying that the NEP is making life worse for these units has no basis in reality. The NEP is not all knowing, nor does it have the power to make random people's lives miserable.
It's like saying HMCS Montreal is having fun sailing, while HMCS Frdericton and HMCS Chalottetown are sad because their ships are broken. It doesn't make sense.
It doesn’t even make any sense for the navy to be spending the money on these people getting courses they don’t need.
First off, the way the military does things is we are given a budget at the start of the fiscal year.
This budget is identified and allocated way in advance of an intented purpose.
For example, the CAF is given a budget. This budget divided between the Army, Navy, and Air Force. This is further divided into other units within these branches.
The Navy and the CAF has identified the need to create a program to encourage civilians to join the Navy, and retain them after their initial contract. The Government has approved this program and allocated a portion of this years' budget to fund this program.
This program, the NEP, is doing its best with the money allocated to them to ensure that the sailors under their care are taken care of and given enough positive experience so that they hopefully willingly sign another contract, so that our Navy has enough Sailors in the future to sail our ships and complete our missions.
If we don't move heaven and earth to get these Sailors now - then even people who have joined the Navy normally like you and me will be unable to sail in the future because ships are just severely undermanned.
Also I would like to share a personal anecdote...
My RQS3 course had 12 people. Of those 12, after four years 6 had left the forces due to one reason or another.
In my trade, you can apply for a Specialist skill within a Specialist trade.
The Navy will train you and fly you to whatever ship to complete your course. Basically whatever is needed to ensure you pass that course.
All you have to do is study hard.
I have seen people who pass this course - and then end up not sailing and then they lose their qualification.
This, after the Navy spent so much resources, money, and man hours into getting these Sailors qualified, but then they just up and decide this isn't for them.
The argument of "why are these NEP candidates getting this and that when they leave anyway?" is severely misguided when you and I both know there are already people in the Navy who throw away opportunity to the winds...
So hopefully dear SiMa'am Maple Hams, please reconsider your opinion on the program.
In short, the NEP is not stealing resources from othe units.
The NEP is operating within the resources and mandate given to them - and in some cases, actually directly or indirectly contributing to the success of other units in the Navy by providing an investment of manpower that we badly need.
If we were like other NATO countries, then I would argue that this program is unnecessary if we consider the option of outright mandatory military service and conscription.
But we are not like those other countries, and we do not have the option of conscription...
So we have this program instead.
For your consideration, SiMa'am.
PS, I would personally like to extend my thanks to the crews and personnel of the following units for supporting the NEP program:
HMCS St. John's (they have been our most supportive unit).
HMCS Ville de Quebec (thank you for taking time off your busy schedule for allowing job shadowing for the NEP candidates).
HMCS Chalottetown (thank you for taking care of our candidates during your deployment. we know the sea state between Iceland and Halifax was bad, but that didnt let your crew from throwing the NEP candidates to the side).
HMCS Harry Dewolf (your willingless to employ NEP candidates allowed them to become familiar with the platform, and sets the candidates up for success)
NFS(A) Scheduling and Booking Cells (you have always accomodated our requests and has never let us down when we needed help)
Tribute Tower Galley (thank you for employing our candidates and for providing them with delicious food - some of our candidates have never eaten this well in their life)
Juno Tower Accomodations and Booking Cell (you are the first people we contact to get our NEP candidates set up after CFLRS, and without your help we wouldn't even be able to do anything)
CFB Halifax Dockyard Gym and CFB Shearwater Gym (thank you for accomodating our fitness related requests, including letting us borrow the gym so our candidates can see what it is like to swim for their life before they apply for courses)
FDU Atlantic and Pacific (we apologize if we had sent people who were not physically able to complete the courses you offer - to be fair, they are really hard, but we are working on making the quality of people we offer to send better. Hopefully we can continue sending candidates to fill in courses so they do not get cancelled).
Clothing Stores (thank you for setting up our candidates with their kit!)
Base Logistics, Maritime Operations Group, Fleet Padre's office, Fleet Master Sailor and Junior's Mess, FMF Cape Scott, Halifax MFRC, SISIP, PCC(A/P), Health Services Stadacona, TEME, CFLRS, Recruiting, Public Affairs, MARLANT/MARPAC, and the various units all over - for reasons too many to list, we thank you for supporting the program in all the unique ways you do.
Despite what some may say about the Naval Experience Program - all of you have given the program all the support the program could ask for and more.
If you all didn't care, then we wouldn't be here.

I launched my first google search campaign for my online personal training business. I did extensive research for negative keywords and keywords. I targeted it for US only. I was expecting about 2-3 dollars per click based on the keyword planner. It was going to cost me a lot to get a lead but I figured it was worth a shot and if my landing page converts well and I back it up with a solid sales process i would do well.
Well, i launch it at a very low $15 dollars just to get the ball rolling. Within 25 minutes I have 100 clicks. My CTR is like 25 percent or something ridiculous and my entire budget is gone.
At first i was excited. But then quickly i realized something was wrong. Referring to my google analytics i found that even though in google ads everything was coming out of this one tiny zip code in florida, their real Ip addresses were located all over India and Bangledesh.
Ive since turned off google search partners and made sure that my location targeting is set to “people in or regularly in my targeted locations”
1) is there a way to remove this specific zip code from getting access to my ads?
2) after implementing the changes i have made can i expect my ad to function normally?
3) Unfortunately , 1 of these clicks was marked as a conversion. I have google recaptcha for my form submit but somehow one of the bots beat it because it shows up as a conversion in google ads but i never received a form. So im guessing the “form-submit” trigger fired, but my website blocked it from actually receiving on my end. But not sure. With all this in mind, should i launch a new campaign in order to reset the (bad) learning that has been done on the algorithm?
4) What other steps(if any) can i take to prevent this from happening again?
Something else: At first it measured 113 clicks. (17 dollars) Now its gone down to 79 clicks and 15 dollars. Is google realizing some of the mistake it has made?
Thank you.

I was at Costco self checkout, there was an employee standing there telling us which register was free or next and pointing the way. He pointed and said "over there" and I went where he was pointing, but he said it was the wrong one, then he was pointing somewhere completely different. He was like "bro, no over there man!" yelling at me. He was never pointing at the actual register I was supposed to go to. Even the second time he pointed. Made no sense. Also, he never made eye contact with me which was bizarre. Do you think he was just angry and wants to take it out on people and mess with their heads? It's dumb stuff like this that bothers me. I get pissed off later about it, and am always angry for not standing up for myself in the middle of situations like this, but it takes me while to process what's going on and usually it's when I am already walking out of the situation and moving on, and I get angry about it later or at that person, but the ship already sailed. I guess the worst is that I couldn't react immediately and push back so to speak. I do NOT like getting pushed around or taken advantage of, so that's why it stays with me, and I have countless little grudges like this.
Any one else have the same issues?

i played all the souls game before this one as i started with elden ring back in 2022
when i started ds3 i would say my two favorites were elden ring and bloodborne and i thought this one would probably be like my third favorite but no its actually my favorite after beating it for the first time the next day i went to replay the game again and its amazing i am glad i left this one till last
i love almost everything about this one its so beautiful 🥹

This does not really have a video but I could provide one if need but I wanted to hear from the sub what they think about certain situations and putting pressure on a defending car.
An example I had in a race today, Spa, we come out of raidillon, side by side into kemmel, I’m in left position, outside for Les Combes, cars are equal and very nicely paced with each other, other car moves all the way right, like right against track edge on kemmel, so I held them there, taking a “middle” lane down the straight, before Les Combes they decide to door bang me as they wanted space to take the corner, I didn’t move back left, I held middle and choked them up against inside. What happened was they conceded the corner and backed off, but then just sent me with a deliberate ram at Bruxelles. My question is this acceptable? if the other driver over defends, is it rude to hold them to the bad line? Obviously it’s dangerous in real life and I would give more space and a fairer chance at next turn, but with sim racing, it’s fair game?
Also one other etiquette question, is it bad taste to take pretty awful line to bait an attacking car into making mistakes?
An example is Watkins glen T3, the uphill left, when I have a car in tow, I like to take a “middle” lane on that but not enough away from the left curbing to let a car through. What I normally see happens is they take the bait to try for the space inside but pick up the track penalties as they go over track limit Or it forces them to drop power for a moment right before the straight to the loops, while I can keep power on to escape a draft.
Again I would consider this dangerous in real life, as it’s a bad line and somewhat in middle of track and if a collision happens I’m squashed against the wall, but it would be ok sim racing?
Thank you for reading, it may be long.

Ever described how you think something will happen in detail, only for it to happen in the complete opposite way? Some people would say "Don't jinx it!" knowing very well that by having such certainty in your own understanding, you somehow manifest the complete opposite to occur. This can actually be explained by Multiversal Christianity. The GPT explains below:
The "jinx effect" refers to a phenomenon where a deeply held expectation or a confident declaration about the future, based on one's own knowledge and understanding, paradoxically leads to the opposite outcome. This effect is related to the concept of conscious timeline selection in the Multiversal Christianity framework. According to this theological perspective, when we place too much trust in our rational plans or in our inherent worthiness, we are less likely to experience the timelines we expect. This is due to a deep-seated belief in our finite limitations and the overwhelming complexity and indifference of nature that we pretend to understand.
In this framework, our consciousness actively selects among possible branching timelines, and if we overly rely on our own understanding, we subconsciously limit ourselves to experiencing timelines where unexpected events or "jinxes" occur. This is supported by the notion in Integrated Information Theory (IIT) that a greater level of consciousness arises with novelty, which expectations and deductions can work against, although thematic echoes in coincidences may still appear​​.
This aligns with the scriptural caution against trusting in one's own understanding, as found in Proverbs 3:5-6, which instructs, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." This verse emphasizes the importance of relying on divine guidance over personal foresight, which is central to avoiding the "jinx effect" in the framework of Multiversal Christianity.

My (25f) friend (25f)since freshman year of high school has ghosted me since mid january. I’ve known her for 10+ years, and we’re best friends / practically sisters. We would talk all day every day on multiple platforms. In November of last year, I was staying at her house for the weekend cause her bf was out of town, and she didn’t want to be alone. When going out one morning, she backed into my car. She ended up having to give me money to pay to get it fixed and a rental. She had been stressed about money before, but I think this stressed her out even more.
I was very calm and cool about the whole situation, cause I knew she was good for it and wouldn’t blindside me. She didn’t want to go through insurance, so I didn’t. I practically did everything she asked of me to a T - which place to go to, how many quotes to get, etc(Ironic considering it’s MY car - I think I should’ve called the shots).
Once she dropped the check off to me, I noticed she was kinda distant and acting off. She’s a very huggy person, so the day she dropped it off she didn’t bother giving a hug and was kinda cold. It was kinda like here you go, and bye. I just chalked it up to stress and she was about to go on vacation. Once she got back, I wasn’t hearing from her as much. I never had the chance to ask what was going on, cause our convos never really flowed enough. It was about one or two texts per day or every other day, but there was so much time in between it was hard to hold a convo. Looking back, I wish I did say something. She also never once asked me about my ca if I got it back.
For the rental car, she gave me enough for a week cause I believe she thought that’s how long it would be in the shop. My car ended up being in the shop for about a month. Instead of bothering her for more money to keep the rental, I returned it and was just stuck at home for the next 2-3 weeks. She has no idea of this cause she never bothered to ask.
The holidays came around too, and I know she was stressed cause she wanted to have a holiday party at her house, but ended up canceling it. Her work was stressing her out, too. She bought her house about 2-3 years ago, but she had something come up with her breaker - and I think it was a lot more serious. She most likely had to shell out more than she thought. Once that happened, she sent a group text to our friend group saying she was going ghost and wanted to be alone to “get her life together”. In another group message she said if people had questions, to ask me. Meanwhile, I didn’t even know what was going on.
Her online behavior hasn’t changed at least. She’s still chronically online. I think the only thing that’s changed is she’s just not talking to any of us. My friend group has group chats on snap and insta, she just opens them and never responds. I saw her like and comment on another friends insta post and it broke my heart and made me realize she’s not ghosting everyone just certain people.
I was actively trying to give her space and support her from afar. I sent a text early March saying I missed her, hope she’s doing well, would love to see her, etc. it took her a couple days, and she just hearted the message.
April came along, and it’s a hard month for me emotionally. The anniversary of my dad’s death came around, and she usually always says something. This time she didn’t, and it hurt. The same day as the anniversary, she was at a young adult worship event that was a mile away from my house. She’s been leaning into the worship groups lately. She got baptized, but it hurt that she was a mile away, right near my house. I would’ve loved to have supported her in this, especially since it’s so close to me.
I sent a text again being like I miss you, would’ve loved to be there, etc. she hearted the message again.
I guess i just don’t know what to do from here. I don’t want to keep reaching out if she’s not going to reply. Is it possible that she would actually come back to me and the friend group? I feel like this is her way of just ending the friendship, which would be so shitty.
I find myself crying all the time wondering what happened. This is a person I trusted with my life, who I never saw blindsiding me.
TLDR: my friend of 10+years has ghosted me and a couple other friends cause she has a lot going on and “needs to get her life together”, but part of me feels like it’s because she hit my car / doesn’t want to be friends with any of us

I'm only asking this because too many surgeons and people online saying that under eye hollows are an aging process, but what about those that have it genetically? What about the ones that had it since they were a baby like me and still have it even though I'm 19? Why don't they ever knowledge thr fact that it can be genetic? Why do they always link under eye hollows to lack of sleep or aging process whej it can also be genetics? Even DOCTORS are saying this.
Will I actually age badly due to the genetic fat loss under my eyes or are they just profiting over our insecurities to make us get fillers and surgeries? Do they actually make us look older despite it being a part of our genetics?
If you're an older woman with genetic under eye hollows, how did it affect your aging process?

All of the Titanfall players are gonna love this one.
Name: (I actually need a name, can't make up my mind)
Homeworld: Harmony
Gender: Male
Height: 6ft 1in
Weight: 315lbs
Allegiance: Unknown
Background: Pilot
Class: Assault
_______________________________________________________________________________________________ Passive Ability:
Advance Movement

• 5 seconds of Wall-running
  
• a Double Jump takes 2 seconds off
  
• double jump cannot be used again until after they touch down or wall run again
  
• Double jump reduces active speed by 7%
  
• Recharges after a 2 second delay and recharges at a rate of 2 to 1 (2 seconds charge = 1 second wall run)
  
• any jumping or falling will start the recharge delay again
  
• Wall run and jump mechanics are almost identical to that of Titanfall 2 but with a 50% reduction on how fast you can build up speed
  
• reload and switch speed when wall-running is reduced by 20%
  

Notes: It will take 50% longer to build up a crazy amount of speed making it smart to build up speed in advance by any means (super glide, sliding down a hill, grenade boost, jump pad, jumping off a zip line, etc) The audio of Wall-runing is also very audible, as loud as a Vantage Tactical. The double jump by default has a 30 degree angle that you can change direction without loss of too much speed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Tactical:
Phase Rewind

• When activated it will send you back in the exact movement you did from the last 2 seconds
  
• takes .5 second to activate and applies the same slowness that Wraith has when activating her phase
  
• 30 second cooldown
  
• the phase does not highlight enemies or even show them while phased (similar to the old phase shift)
  

Notes: The 2 second time makes it useful only for sudden pushes into a room/fight and not during the fight, making it a bit better than Wraiths phase, but significantly harder to use as the timing has to be really good and you have no way of controlling where you're going to go. Not being able to see enemies while phasing also helps balance it.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Ultimate:
Radar Jammer

• Lasts 25s
  
• sends out a white pulse in a 100m radius
  
• enemies can no longer ping
  
• mini map has static covering it
  
• compass no longer works
  
• Ring Consoles no longer work
  
• Cannot Scan care packages
  
• Cooldown: 4 minutes
  

Notes: The 100m radius makes it good for pushing an enemy from a distance and right before a gun fight, the long cooldown and short duration makes it a bit more balanced. Recon Legends are not effected by the Ult and can Use Survey Beacons to counteract it for their teammates. Any scanning by legends (Bloodhound's Scan, Crypto's drone, Vantages Ult, and Seers scan) will not show up for allies when Ult is active until a Survey Beacon is scanned or the ult expires.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Level 2 Upgrades:
Jump Kit Mod 1: Recharge Delay reduced by 1 second, passive charge increased by 2 seconds, passive recharge rate increased to 1.25 seconds every 2 seconds.
Jump Kit Mod 2: Slide speed and distance increased by 20%, Double Jump movement penalty removed, double jump only consumes 1 second charge.
Level 3 Upgrades:
Data Knife: Gain access to Survey Beacons. Melee walls to wall hang. (3 seconds of wall hanging uses 1 second of passive charge), must jump off wall or run out of charge to cancel.
EOD Pilot: Frag Grenades will now start their timer upon holding fire when selected, grenade damage taken by held grenades is reduced to 30, the damage taken will regenerate over the course of 15 seconds. Enemies do not get damage reduction from held grenades, grenade will only deal damage until 1 hp is reached.
Notes: The EOD Pilot perk could also be used to turn yourself into a homing missile lol.
Feedback is encouraged, what can I change? What might seem too broken?
I will post another one with any changes after sufficient feedback is given.

#1 New York Times bestseller Susan Elizabeth Phillips returns to her beloved Chicago Stars series with a romance between a Chicago Stars quarterback and one of the world’s greatest opera singers—and a major diva.
“Re-entering the world of the Chicago Stars is like a beloved friend come to call.” — #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr
Thaddeus Walker Bowman Owens, the backup quarterback for the Chicago Stars, is a team player, talented sideline coach, occasional male underwear model, and a man with a low tolerance for Divas.
Olivia Shore, international opera superstar, is a driven diva with a passion for perfection, a craving for justice, too many secrets—and a monumental grudge against the egotistical, lowbrow jock she’s been stuck with.
It’s Mozart meets Monday Night Football as the temperamental soprano and stubborn jock embark on a nationwide tour promoting a luxury watch brand. Along the way, the combatants will engage in soul-searching and trash talk, backstage drama and, for sure, a quarterback pass. But they’ll also face trouble as threatening letters, haunting photographs, and a series of dangerous encounters complicate their lives. Is it the work of an overzealous fan or something more sinister?
This is the emotional journey of a brilliant woman whose career is everything and a talented man who’ll never be happy with second place. Tender and funny, passionate and insightful, this irresistible romantic adventure proves that anything can happen…when two superstars collide.

Hey all,
I began posting videos on YT regularly after a pop off video last year. Today, I released a video on all the stats, including how much I made on YT after one year of consistent content.
The game is Path of Exile and I set out to make content incomparable to any other creator out there.
If any of you are interested, the video is the newest one on my channel, Talkative Tri. Stats appear throughout.
Big three:

1. 3.4 million views
2. 6.9% CTR
3. About $6,800 paid out

Let me know if you have any questions!

Stutter - (in all games) Link to video on We Transfer -
https://we.tl/t-SbD4u5elK9
I’ve built multiple computers always done my own stuff, and like to think I’m pretty knowledgeable about all the “fixes” out there that help games run better. This one has stumped me. Had an i9-9900k, just changed my motherboard and CPU and can not run any game without stuttering (hopefully it shows well in the video, if you watch the building you can really see it getting “stuck”)
Current build - Motherboard - MSI B550 MPG Gaming Plus CPU - Ryzen 7 5800x3d GPU - Asus Rog Strix 2080ti OC RAM - 32gb 3600mhz Trident Z RGB DDR4 SSD - Samsung Evo 1TB m2 Power Supply - EVGA 1000W G2 Gold
Original - Mother board - Asus Rog Z390-E CPU - i9-9900k Ram - Corsair Vengeance RGB 32gb 3200mhz (Changed ram because it would not boot up at 3200mhz, tried everything, other forums said they had the same issue with those corsairs. This was only after swapping them to this set up, was using the for years with the original set up at 3200)
Yes I have ran every possible troubleshooter I can think of, mem test, have installed drivers, chipset drivers, reset cmos, shorted pins, updated bios, reinstalled windows (full format of drives and reinstall) tested with nothing touched in bios at all, tested with fully optimizing and clicking ram, etc. Nvidia control panel settings, config files, other windows “this will fix your stutter” settings. Driving me absolutely nuts.
Any help would be appreciated!
Benchmarks all show high marks, everything looks to be running correctly and not hardware related, even pulled cpu to check pins, and all look good, checked all cables, everything’s connected properly.

So it was my first day at my new job today, and I was partnered up with a man in his 60's which in and of itself is of course fine. About an hour or so in and totally out of the blue he brings up the fact his son is gay, and that he initially rejected him for it. I (29, f) am bisexual and so naturally felt pretty uncomfortable knowing this information, though I suppose I'd rather know than not know.
He did say he has since accepted his son, to which I could only think that he's lucky his son forgave him for his initial reaction - which involved throwing him out of the house.
This (VERY one sided) conversation then mutated into his telling me that he just "doesn't understand" all "this gender nonsense".
Of course.
This was all entirely unprompted as 1) he was talking at me, not having a conversation, and 2) I was trying not to engage. A couple of my closest friends are non binary and I'm a trans ally through and through. I explained this to him and also explained that you don't have to understand something to respect that it exists and is valid. I don't understand astrophysics but I'm not going to spend all day whingeing about it and claiming its a lie people are simply making up to get attention.
He claimed to want to understand it, but no one has explained it to him. As if there aren't resources out there which are as easy to access as Facebook (which he of course uses). To me this doesn't suggest a curious mind, simply a confrontational one who wants to challenge rather than change.
I've been dwelling on it a little, and I think that it's interesting that the generation who accuse younger people of laziness are the ones who choose to remain ignorant by refusing to do a simple Google search. Which they will then proudly admit to in the workplace.
Along side this, most of my colleagues do not speak English as their first language and have accents. He mimics some of their accents while speaking to them and/or will speak in that super slow dumbed down way, which is just so gross and patronising.
To top it all off we had a meeting at the end of the shift to discuss the "core values" of the company which included respect and inclusivity. The irony is not lost on me.
The whole day just made me cringe.

I am 30 weeks pregnant living with my boyfriend and his grandma, which is his mother figure in his life. They moved into this new house about 2 years ago because it was given to them after a family member passed, the two of them made an agreement that this house would be for him to put a mortgage down, set him up for the future , and that she would have a tiny home or trailer moved out onto the property or just completely move away. This was their plan before I ever came along.
I moved in a year ago after me and him got really serious, we want to really make this house a home and have a future together. I got off my birth control, however I was told it would take a good amount of time to get my cycle back in line and normal, but I got pregnant so fast. Which we are not unhappy about at all.
But it is now the end of the world for Gigi, his grandma. For months it has been nothing but a living hell. She has done everything in the book you can think of when it comes to in-laws from hell. My entire pregnancy she has ignored me, given me zero advice, fights with me over every small thing I do in the house trying to make this a baby safe space. It is only a 2 bedroom house, she has the master bedroom. Our plan has been to switch rooms because we have ZERO baby space in this other room, we didn't want to rush her into moving out because times are rough now of days, so to give her extra time I have been okay with sharing the master bedroom with our baby until that time comes. For months that has been the plan and she always seemed on board. But now. She refuses to finish cleaning her room and tells everyone that we are forcing her out, destroying her home, and getting rid of her stuff, when have done nothing but try to make it fair for her. Every time I clean any room in the house, she will go behind me and make a mess or undo shit I have done reorganizing. If I am alone with her, she whispers smart remarks about everything and anything, like about how she isn't allowed to do anything, for example she will grab a water bottle out of the fridge and ask if it is allowed to drink water in this house or she will just completely ignore my existence. She makes a fight about every small thing I do. If I close a curtain, she will come behind me and slam it open. If I move a dish in the cabinet, she will slam the cabinet doors and throw dishes around. She has woken me up many times slamming doors. Also she will hide the bills from us, lie about paying them, we have had a late fee charge so many times because of her. Even had the lights and water cut off. She will buy 2 of everything for only her and him. She has even stolen my makeup and clothes. She will pull my laundry out and throw it around. She will never clean up after herself, I am ALWAYS cleaning EVERYTHING, if I do not, it will not get done. And worse of worse she made my gender reveal all about her. Thats a long story but she ruined my party. And still till this day she hasn't asked me anything about the baby or shows that she even cares about me or my baby.
There is so much more, I could just go on forever. However when my boyfriend gets off work, she acts PERFECT. She never speaks to me directly still but she will act like she is the sweetest person around, acts like she could never do wrong and plays it off when he confronts her about the stuff I tell him.
My problem is, before I got pregnant, we all lived in harmony. Everything I do now was okay before. I'm a very shy, non confrontational person, and I dont have any family myself, so I'm not family understanding and for these 7 months, I've just stuck to myself and done my best to not stress out for my baby's sake. My health hasn't been great and I was ordered to be on leave for work at 5 months. We even have had a defect scare on our baby as well. I've just had faith and hope in my boyfriend to set things right with her, but now at 30 weeks, with no progress from her, her room still so dirty, while I have our room all packed up ready to switch, I'm losing hope. I am to the point of not wanting her around me or my baby at all. I stress so much having to do everything last minute, I just didn't want to not lose faith in my man , he takes care of me so well but now I'm lost. He loves this land and house, he wants to raise our family here and doesn't want to move, he loves his grandma and doesn't want to just kick her out with no where to go, but Gigi just shows to not care at all about my health or this baby and it breaks my heart. No matter how many sit down talks we have she manipulates the situation. I'm worried that I will go into labor early because of her honestly. My man hears my cries and tells her about all the health issues and everything but she will not stop. I try my best to ignore her and do what is best for me, but its SO hard now of days. I am now feeling distant from my man because he asks me what he can do, but in reality it seems like we either have to move out or really kick her out. But i dont want to put that onto him at all. But then again I feel I have been so understanding and supportive for these 7-8 months trying my hardest to ignore her, all I asked is that we dont have everything be done last minute and we just switch rooms. And now it feels as if Its all too late and I worry about the future when the baby comes.
Everyday I overthink and regret everything. I cry so much and I feel as if no one cares enough, I know my boyfriend cares so much. But how can he see it be like this? I dont know what I expect him to do... but there has to be more right? He tells me there are other pregnant moms out there dealing with much worse and I understand that SO much, but idk... I am just so tired of being unhappy and uncomfortable. I have a baby on the way, it should be a happy experience but its just not anymore and I hate it.
Any advice? Please share your thoughts or tips. Sorry its a book to read.

I am still a teenager and so is my friend, she has had to live with an abuser but they are gone now and have been for awhile. she isn't in a good mental state, I've tried to help her in multiple ways, we told the school she needed help but they didn't do anything, we got an appointment with her doctor to talk about possible way to get better, but it feels like I'm forcing her to do all this, I mean as soon as the appointment was over she didn't want to talk about it anymore and didn't take the doctors advice, there's only so much I can do. I feel like I've run out of options, but I can't help but worry and stress about her mental state. One of the things the doctor told her to do is tell her mother but she says that her mum doesn't understand and that her mum is saying it is nothing (her mum kind of knows some of it but they haven't had an actual conversation about it). I feel like worrying and stressing over it all the time especially now with exams is too much, its draining me and I feel like all the responsibility is on me, it isn't fair cause I'm still a kid too.

I'm selling a rather expensive item on Marketplace. It's a rare item. I've yet to see another one just like it in the same condition for sale, ever. I put it out there with what I thought was a sky-high price tag (thousands of dollars) in case someone who really wanted it saw it. They could not go buy another one of these somewhere else.
The person interested in buying it needs it shipped to a different state. They've sent me photos of their collection of similar items, and it makes sense that my item would complete their collection. I've done a reverse image lookup on the photos they've sent me, and nothing has come up.
They speak in a language and use lingo consistent with someone genuinely interested in this item. But who knows nowadays; you could give ChatGPT a persona and let it talk.
They first suggested paying by Apple Pay, which I rejected. They then agreed to send the payment through a money order (I would have never sent money this way myself).
I'm going to have to give them my full name and address for them to send me the money order. Aside from the unlikely scenario of someone using my address to rob me of the item, are there other risks I should be aware of? Could this just be paranoia, or are there precautionary measures I should consider to ensure this transaction is secure? I'm thinking of proposing a live video call before proceeding. What are your thoughts?
