It’s no secret that technology reshapes the job landscape—sometimes to the point of making certain jobs completely obsolete. Think about it: long before the robotics and AI buzz, technological leaps were already transforming work life. For instance, did you know that before alarm clocks were common, there were people known as "knocker uppers"? Yes, really! In industrial England, these folks would walk around with long sticks, tapping on windows to wake workers for their shifts. And before our sleek digital devices, "computers" were actually people who performed mathematical calculations by hand!
So, what jobs are on the chopping block next? Every year, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) sheds some light on this with its Occupational Employment Projections. This report looks ahead over the next decade, predicting changes in job availability across various sectors and pinpointing roles that might vanish due to automation and other shifts in society and technology.
In the latest report covering 2022-2032, the BLS points out four occupational groups facing declines: office and administrative support, production, sales and related occupations, and roles in farming, fishing, and forestry. For a clearer picture, consider cashiers; increasingly replaced by self-checkout systems, they're expected to see the largest employment drop—348,100 fewer jobs by 2032. Similarly, secretaries, office clerks, and customer service reps are each anticipated to face reductions exceeding 150,000 positions. In terms of percentage, word processors and typists are projected to see a staggering 39% drop, and watch and clock repairers face a 30% decline, with other niche roles also ranking high on the potential obsolescence list.
The big question now is, how do we prepare for this shift? As technology advances, it's essential not only to adapt but also to anticipate changes in our career paths. Whether it's upskilling, reskilling, or exploring entirely new fields, the key is to stay proactive in an ever-evolving job market.
What jobs do you think are most at risk from automation? Have any of you experienced job displacement due to technology?

Starting a new business involves important decisions that can significantly impact the future of your venture.
Setting up your LLC is one of these areas.
Failure to navigate this process effectively can result in costly setbacks, both in terms of time and finances.
Here are six crucial mistakes to avoid:

1. Choosing The Wrong Entity

Selecting the appropriate type of LLC lays the foundation for your business's financial and operational framework.
Single-member, multi-member, and S-Corp classifications offer distinct advantages and considerations.
A single-member LLC provides simplicity in paperwork while ensuring liability protection.
Conversely, opting for an S-Corp designation entails different tax obligations, potentially offering tax-saving opportunities for higher earners.
Understanding the nuances of each entity type is paramount.
Seeking guidance from seasoned professionals can illuminate the optimal choice tailored to your business needs and goals.
NOTE: The LLC service I recommended that gives the most hands on assistance with this is ZenBusiness, (affiliate link). The team there are great for giving advice on exactly how to navigate the various steps to forming your LLC, or S-Corp.

2. Incorporating in the Wrong State

Deciding where to incorporate your business involves weighing legal, financial, and administrative factors.
While certain states like Delaware and Wyoming offer enticing legal and tax incentives, they may not be conducive to the needs of smaller enterprises or solo entrepreneurs.
Incorporating out of state may lead to increased paperwork, fees, and regulatory complexities, offsetting potential benefits.
Prioritize practicality and compliance by assessing the requirements of your home state and consulting legal counsel to navigate any jurisdictional considerations effectively.

3. Forgetting to Keep Your LLC Compliant

Establishing an LLC marks the beginning rather than the culmination of your compliance obligations.
Maintaining regulatory adherence safeguards against risks such as piercing the corporate veil and personal liability exposure.
Vigilance in areas such as using the business name consistently, fulfilling annual reporting requirements, and segregating business finances from personal funds is imperative.
Engage with legal professionals or regulatory authorities to stay abreast of compliance obligations and fortify your business's legal standing.

4. Incorporating Without Required Licenses

Securing requisite licenses and permits is a prerequisite for conducting business lawfully in many industries and jurisdictions.
Failure to obtain mandated licenses can result in penalties and operational disruptions.
Whether at the local, state, or federal level, thorough due diligence is necessary to identify and fulfill licensing requirements pertinent to your business activities.
Prioritize regulatory compliance by proactively acquiring the necessary licenses and permits, thereby mitigating legal and financial risks.

5. Failing to Get the Right Kind of Legal Assistance

While self-filing an LLC may suffice for straightforward cases, complex scenarios demand expert legal guidance.
Collaborating with legal professionals ensures comprehensive understanding and adherence to legal obligations, particularly in multi-state operations or partnership arrangements.
The upfront investment in legal counsel can yield invaluable dividends by preempting potential disputes or regulatory oversights.
Explore avenues for legal assistance, such as specialized services or legal consultations, to safeguard your business's legal integrity and mitigate future liabilities.

6. Using Random Legal Documents Found Online

The proliferation of online resources offers convenience and accessibility in various facets of business management.
However, indiscriminate adoption of generic legal documents poses inherent risks.
Templates sourced from the internet may lack specificity or fail to address unique circumstances, potentially leading to contractual ambiguities or disputes.
Exercise prudence by scrutinizing online templates and supplementing them with professional legal review when necessary.
Customizing legal documents to align with your business's specific requirements enhances clarity and mitigates legal uncertainties.

So last week I visited a commercial job to do an inspection. Now I have to account for my time because my employer has to pay me prevailing wage. I'm not doing any work other than a quick inspection and pointing out potential violations and how to correct them. Now because of the new laws in California concerning comercial renewable energy and storage jobs, I'm now being told by my employer that I can't step foot on any prevailing wage jobs. I think that's bs. What will they do if OSHA shows up and cites them for one or more violations that I could have corrected beforehand.
Has anyone encountered this?

• QMK/VIA keyboards - Firmware must be updated on both the source tree and the downloadable file with a change log
• QMK/VIA keyboards must include the MCU used as well as the amount of RAM on the MCU. This must also include the number of layers available
• Newly released keyboards must ship in a FIFO order. People receiving units they just purchased, while people who pre-ordered keyboards are still waiting for their shipment is not acceptable. All orders must include a "ship by" date, with a window of delivery time based on region
• NuPhy needs to provide a US/EU warehouse for returns; shipping back to China is not an acceptable practice
• NuPhy needs to institute a working and visible ticket system for orders, products, pre and post sales support; Discord is not meant to replace a ticketing system, it is meant to be a community discussion platform
• New keyboards must include dates when they will be available in regional marketplaces like Amazon. Many people would rather order from a trusted vendor
• NuPhy must publish layouts with each keyboard; which keycap sets will fit, any extra or non-standard keys that will be needed
• NuPhy must provide a list of compatible switches, especially when listing low profile keyboards
• NuPhy must be swift to respond to firmware issues; provide triage, and an ETA of when issues will be repaired, i.e. double input issues
• NuPhy needs to provide a clearly written and legally binding warranty. Too many customers are being turned down when their keyboard either arrives DOA or stops working after a few days. This warranty must be clear as to what is covered by NuPhy and what is required by customers in order to make a warranty claim that does not get lost in a black hole
• NuPhy must provide clear instructions, especially with QMK/VIA keyboards as to how Windows and Mac layers are handled (which layer is the default Windows layer, default Mac layer). This should be included with each and every change log
• NuPhy needs to foster relationships with honest content creators who will be honest about their products without holding them responsible for NuPhy's faults. Creators are complaining that NuPhy will not work with creators who have even a single negative thing to say. People want honest reviews, not just commercials that paint their products in only good light
• NuPhy needs to list and link alternative QMK/VIA firmware files by community members
• NuPhy needs to abide by QMK's MIT, BSD, Apache, and GNU GPL as well as register their keyboards with VIA's database to avoid the need for VIA JSON files - If NuPhy refuses to do this, then they cannot list their keyboards as QMK/VIA products

Hello, I'll try to keep this short, just looking for some advice from people already in the electrical trade.
I'm 28 and I've been working construction for the last 11 years (residential remodel, new home builds, commercial, etc), I have done and know how to do a lot in the construction field, and I've also been running my own small scale construction company for the last few months. My dad was an electrical contractor back in the day until he got injured, so I'm even somewhat familiar with basic electrical work.
My wife and I are expecting our first baby later this year, and I'd just like to go back to working for someone. Ever since I've started doing my own thing I've had hardly any free time and it has been a lot of headache already. I'd really like to get into an apprenticeship with a company if someone would take me on.
So my questions are, is it a good idea to get a resume together and just show up to a company and see if they'd give me a chance?
And will my 11 years of experience (with the same company all those years) help distinguish me from others just a little?
And like I said, I'm almost thirty with a child on the way, which I figured I'd bring up to a potential boss just to maybe give them some assurance I won't be some lazy slacker or something.
Sorry if this is a mess, I'm at lunch about to go back to work so I typed it up quick. Thank y'all in advance!

Hey all, I’m from out of province and I need a new windshield due to cracks. I need to get a vehicle inspection done so I can register my truck in bc due to relocation, but I know it will fail due to a crack in the windshield so I am being proactive.
My insurance deductible is $1000, so it will be entirely out of pocket. Cost is a factor, more so than quality per se, as I plan on selling the vehicle in the near future.
Vehicle is a 2019 Toyota Tacoma trd sport with lane assist, automatic cruise etc, so I think there is a camera or laser or something that may need calibration.
All advice is welcome and appreciated!

I'm a designer at an ad agency and occasionally do post production on commercial shoots. And I've gotten spoiled with the quality of photos and how much information you can recover in the darks and lights from these extremely high resolution raw photos shot on top-tier cameras by the professional photographers we hire.
But I'm looking for a camera for my own personal use. I could save up and get an R5 and that'll probably get me there. But that seems like it's a bit beyond my own needs.
I don't do photography super often. Mainly I will either do street photography when I travel, or I use my camera for utility purposes – Shooting photos of paper mockups, portfolio shots of packaging pieces I've designed, making content videos for my own music instagram, taking photos for album and single artwork (as I also play music and produce for fun), etc.. So I like versatility, but with a niche in street photography.
My problems with the current Rebel T5i:

• I feel like it struggles when I cant get enough light. Photos are quite noisy in general. ISO on this camera only goes up to 12800. It seems newer cameras usually go up higher. But if I need to go above 400 at all, it'll be pretty noisy.
• Dynamic range seems to be a struggle. Even the raw photos are not very forgiving when trying to recover lights and darks. Again, this is in comparison to photos we get back from photoshoots shot on full-frame cameras.
• Mirrored camera. So it is much slower and more bulky and loud than a mirrorless.
• No 4k video. Not the biggest issue, but I'd like the option.

What I'd like:

• I'm seeing some mixed information on full frame sensors. But I feel like that would help with the issues I'm facing and I would appreciate the wider view from a larger sensor.
• I'd like to keep my camera as compact and light as possible when doing street photography. So I'd like there to be decent options as far as pancake prime lenses. I have a canon 24mm which I don't love. I also have a Sigma 35mm Art lens that I absolutely love, except that it's quite large.
• Mirrorless – I think this helps the camera be quieter, faster and more compact. Also great that many mirrorless cameras have a screen in the viewfinder so you aren't literally staring at the sun when shooting at the sun.
• Something that does well in low light with much less noise than I currently get.

What cameras would you guys recommend? What other features and specs are important to look for nowadays?
A friend recommended the Fuji x100v. I love that for the street photography, but I would probably have to keep my Rebel t5i for just general camera utility uses with different lenses. It doesn't seem like a full replacement.
I'd say budget is under $2000 for camera body. But I'm in no rush and can save up the money. I just want to know what to aim for.
Also, currently I have Canon EF and EFS lenses and I know that pretty much anything I'm looking at is going to be incompatible. If I want to stay compact (not ad an inch with a converter), I'm probably going to end up selling these and buying new lenses for a replacement camera.

My car's transmission is on the fritz, so it's in the shop and I'm working from home for at least today. Thank goodness I can even work from home, or things would be a lot more complicated. Anyways, that's just a bit of a vent. I've also decided that I might do little lore-esque prechapter bits for some extra flavor. Hope you guys enjoy them! I find them to be fun little thought experiments on how people might perceive the world I've created from within vs from my own perspective. Enjoy some crafting and some romance!

We know that the spots that are caused by looking at a source of light are, in fact, damage of some sort to the eye. This is confirmed by the spots rapidly disappearing should someone be healed whilst experiencing them. But why? Is there a divinity within light, beyond what our mortal eyes can withstand? Is there some sort of invisible emanation that comes alongside the light that damages us in some way? The discovery of light damaging the eye has opened more questions for me than it has closed.

Xander carefully opened the door, finding Gabrelle already asleep, and sat down on a chair. Maybe he could get that adaptive camouflage to work right on bright colors. Surely he had some colorful things in his inventory.
He did in fact have a few colorful things in his inventory, and he whiled the rest of the night away making small adjustments to the runic array that was embroidered into the cloth. He was satisfied before dawn, the cloth now performing as well with light colors as it had with darker colors. Now he just needed to make a cloak out of it. He briefly considered coating his armor with the array, but discarded it. There might be times where he’d want to be seen. Besides, a hooded cloak would better break up the outline of his figure, the ripples of fabric, especially if he were to crouch or lay prone, obscuring his outline even more. In little time at all, he had a long, deep hooded cloak of the color shifting, runed cloth in his hands. He stashed it in his inventory for now, as he had no particular need to sneak up on something right now. The rest of the time before dawn he spent silently sitting in the chair he’d chosen, trying to keep his thoughts to a minimum, just daydreaming. Night dreaming? He couldn’t sleep anymore, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t try to let his mind wander.
As the dawn came and the sun began to shine through the window of the room, Gabrelle slowly awoke, once more finding Xander sitting in a chair rather than in bed.
“Mmf,” She grunted as she stretched. “Morning, Xander. You got back late.”
“Morning, yourself,” Xander said, turning his head to look at Gabrelle. “Yeah... Yeah, I guess I did.”
“What were you doing, anyway?” She asked, curious. “You didn’t mention that you’d be out late, just that you were going to go to see Valteria at her shop.”
“I uh... went on a date.”
“I knew it! ‘Comparing notes’ was a date!” Gabrelle exclaimed triumphantly.
“It was not!” Xander complained. “But we went to a tavern in the evening and it sort of... turned into a date on the way there.”
“Awhh, that’s so cute,” Gabrelle said. “Did it go well? Is she nice? Did you kiss?”
“I think it went well. We talked a lot about different projects and ideas we had. I also got to meet another [Godsmarked] - he owns the tavern we went to. I think she’s nice. Maybe a little shy. I think she’s gotten used to being treated differently by people. I don’t think she really believed that I wanted to go on a date with her, at first. ...And yes. We kissed.”
“Ooooh, look at you! You’re growing up so fast!” Gabrelle teased.
“Oh hush. I’m older than you!” Xander huffed, then returned to seriousness. “But ah, if I’m going to be dating someone... we need to have a conversation, Gabrelle.”
“We need to stop sleeping together?” Gabrelle quickly deduced before Xander could say it himself.
“Yeah... It doesn’t feel right, even though it’s just platonic between us. I don’t think I would appreciate being in Valteria’s situation and knowing that the person I was seeing was sleeping with someone else at night.”
“Well, I figured this would happen eventually,” Gabrelle said. “Either you or I were bound to find someone eventually. Don’t worry, I’m not upset. Don’t get me wrong, the snuggles were nice, but like I told you a while ago, I don’t have nearly as much trouble sleeping when I’m with the team.”
“Thanks for not being upset, Gabrelle.”
“You know this means you have to start paying for your own room, though, right?”
“Ah, shit, you’re right. I forgot.”
Xander left the room to allow Gabrelle some privacy to get dressed and meandered back down the stairs to see if any other members of the team were already up. Looking around, he spied Graffus eating breakfast at at table and moved to sit with the dwarf.
“Mornin’” Graffus greeted Xander through a mouthful of bread.
“Morning,” Xander greeted back.
“Glad to see you made it back, we were wondering if you’d be out all night,” Graffus told him, after swallowing his bread.
“I was out a bit late, I suppose. I let the time get away from me.” Xander said, not really wanted to be teased again about going out on a date. “So what are you planning to do today?”
“Bah, Frazay has roped me into helping her do research for the drakeling. So reading is what’s in store for me.” Graffus tore himself off another piece of bread from his plate and slathered it with jam. “You going to be going back to that [Tinker] you’ve been spending time with lately?”
“Yeah, that’s the plan. I’m supposed to learn more about converting mana types today, and also help her fix the suit of armor that I wrecked.”
“Welp,” Graffus said, now on his last piece of bread, “I hope ya learn something new. Never had much to do with [Tinker]s – not saying I dislike them, just that I haven’t had much experience with them – so it don’t make much sense to me. Using a hammer is about the only overlap in our professions.”
“I think your hammer is significantly larger than the one most [Tinker]s would use,” Xander chuckled. Thinking about what he should be doing before he headed to Valteria’s, he asked Graffus, “Hey, I might need to buy some monster parts or elemental cores, something like that, for practice. You know where I would go to find stuff like that?”
Graffus shrugged. “Dunno. My guess would be an alchemy and reagents shop. That’s generally what we’ve sold monster parts to that didn’t go to a smith or leatherworker.”
“Thanks, Graffus.”
The two of them chatted for a while longer, catching up on what each other had been doing. Graffus excused himself to finish getting ready for the day, saying he needed to tend to his beard, leaving Xander downstairs. Deciding to be productive and proactive, Xander stood as well and headed out of the inn to find an alchemy shop.
It wasn’t long before he found one, a familiar scene of an eclectic collection of powders, liquids, crystals, and strange organic things floating in jars inside the building. The proprietor was a dwarf, seated at a workbench. They were grinding something into a powder as Xander entered. He received a distracted greeting before the dwarf returned to his work.
Xander wandered about the shop for a few minutes, looking at the various materials throughout the shop. He identified what he thought might be an elemental core, a jagged piece of crystal looking material that seemed to have an inner flame. As for the monster parts in jars, Xander had no idea what was what. He finally felt he’d waited long enough and moved closer to the worktable that the dwarf was still sitting at, working away at the mortar and pestle.
“Excuse me,” Xander said, grabbing the shopkeep’s attention.
“Mm?” The dwarf said questioningly. “Can I help you find something?”
“I was wondering if you had any elemental cores. Something small, I just need one to practice with.”
“Aye, I’ve a few of them around the shop. You want something to practice with? So a relatively weak core, then – not all the small ones are weak. Do you need any particular type?” The dwarf stood up and stretched, moving to one of the shelves.
“Uhm no, just whatever is cost effective, I suppose.”
The alchemist rifled through the various bits and bobs on one of the shelves nearby before producing a small chip of what looked to be a semi-translucent stone. It was tinged slightly yellow with streaks of white. “This here is a chip off a lightning attuned core. Pretty weak, but it does still produce mana.”
Xander could see the dwarf’s arm hair standing up as if from static electicity as he held up the stone. “How much?” He asked.
“Twenty gold.”
Xander shrugged. Twenty gold wasn’t an issue for him anymore, and he didn’t feel like haggling. He always hated haggling. “Sure.” He fished out the coin and handed it over to the dwarf.
The dwarf handed over the stone to Xander and the pop of a static electric shock could be heard as a tiny arc passed between the two of them. The dwarf grunted and shook his hand. “Thanks for the business,” he told Xander. “Anything else you find yourself in need of?”
“Not at the moment, but thanks for asking.” Xander waved goodbye to the dwarf and pocketed the tiny elemental core. He continued down the street in the direction of Valteria’s shop, thinking about how he was going to undo the welding job he’d done on Valteria’s armor. He’d need her to guide his repair efforts.
Xander returned to the inn momentarily to grab one of his golems. He settled on Atlas for now, as it was the most basic of the humanoid forms he’d created. No extra arms or weird feet on him, no sir.
Arriving at the building that contained Valteria’s home and shop, Xander knocked before opening the door. “Morning,” he called out.
“Xander! Hello!” Valteria called out. She was at the same work bench she’d been at yesterday. Jarrett didn’t seem to be in the shop at the moment, as Xander wasn’t able to spot the man.
Commanding Atlas to follow him in and closing the door behind him, Xander started walking towards Valteria. “How’s it going?” He asked.
“Good, it’s going good,” Valteria responded as Xander brought a stool over to her workbench. “How about yourself?”
“Not bad. The upside of not sleeping is that I never struggle in the mornings now. I used to hate waking up.” Xander laughed. “I even ran an errand before I came here! Picked up this.” Xander fished around in his pocket until he found the small chip of elemental core and held it up for Valteria to see.
“Core?” She asked distractedly, staring at Atlas. She tore her eyes away and looked closely at the small crystalline stone. “Lightning attuned?”
“That’s what the [Alchemist] at the shop said,” Xander affirmed. “Said it was a very weak one, but that it did still produce mana.”
“Mmm, a good practice piece, then.”
“I thought it would be, too. Not that I know what to do with it, yet.”
“Well, how about this: I teach you to set the stone and make some conduit, and then you can help me fix my armor. All the glue has turned to dust by now, thank the gods.”
“Sounds fair enough. So, how do mana conduits work?”
“Well, the concept is simple enough. It’s a tube which conducts mana,” Valteria began to explain.
“Mmhm.” Xander nodded along.
“What you need is a setting – usually of silver, as it has good mana conductivity – which will be the first step of conduction, taking the mana from the stone. Simply wrapping the core in silver wire can work well enough, drawing in the mana that the core puts out through its surface, but for a more effecient setting, small holes are usually drilled into the core to set the wire into as well, giving more surface area to draw from.”
“So we care about the mana conductivity of the material, then? That makes sense, I just hadn’t thought about it. I actually did a little experiment with my rune work to test which fillings were the most conductive.”
“Oh really?” Valteria said, interested. “What were your results?”
“Well, gold and silver were high up there in conductivity, and probably make the most sense for someone who has to physically manipulate material without use of a skill – both for a core setting and for inlaying a rune – but I did find that sapphires and rubies were even more efficient at transferring mana than gold and silver.”
“Mmm... interesting. I’ve heard of gemstones being used in very high-grade settings, as well as various other exotic materials. I read an account of one [Mechanist] who used tubes of mercury to conduct mana, though the relative effectiveness compared to silver wasn’t mentioned.” Valteria cleared her throat. “Uhm, now, where was I? Right, basic settings. Once you have your core – or monster organ, if you’re going that route – you connect it to the conduit. Usually, this is also silver wiring. I like to braid several smaller wires together, personally. I find it to be sturdier and hold up to flexing better. From there, it needs to be tied into a device. Which is a topic for tomorrow.” Looking around the shop, Valteria seemed to identify something on one of the shelves nearby. “I have a core that you could watch me set, and then you could try setting your own, if you’d like.”
“That sounds good to me,” Xander said. “I always love to see a master as work,” he added, opting for a little flattery.
“Follow me, then.” Valteria said, standing up from her stool and waving for Xander to follow.
Xander followed Valteria as she walked over to the shelf she’d been looking at earlier and took a palm sized, bright green stone from it. “Nature attuned core,” She explained, holding it for Xander to see. “I’m told it was taken from some kind of moving tree.” Valteria then moved to another worktable, on which were several of what looked to be drill bits to Xander. There was also an apparatus that look like it was designed to hold the bits, which was confirmed for him when Valteria slotted one of the small drill heads into the device. “This thing,” Valteria said, waving the drill a little bit, “is a life saver. I used to have to drill holes with a hand cranked one. Worth every single coin I paid for it to get an enchanted one.” She turned a dial on one side of the handheld device, which Xander was coming to think of as a magic dremel tool, and it began to come to life, the drill bit beginning to spin with a quiet whirring sound.
“Neat.” Xander commented. He watched patiently as Valteria drilled a series of shallow holes in the stone, the distinct screeching of metal on stone echoing through the shop floor. “So where’s Jarrett today?” He asked.
“Oh, he has the day off today. He asked for it about a week ago, not sure what for, though,” Valteria said distractedly. Soon she was finished with the holes she was drilling into the core, and moved to another workbench. “Now we create a setting for the core. This is a fairly simple way of doing it, mind you, but it is effective.”
Xander watched as she took sections of pre-braided silver wire and fitted the ends into the holes she had drilled. Once each hole was filled with a section of wire, Valteria began to pull wire from a spool, wrapping the stone until it was completely covered with silver wire and binding the braided sections to the stone in the process. “There,” she said, setting the stone down on the workbench. “A perfectly serviceable setting."
“So, if I understand correctly, you coat the core in a mana conductive material – the more surface area, the better, hence the holes – to create a setting?”
“Mmhmm,” Valteria said, nodding.
“Seems fairly straighforward. And then you connect the silver wiring that’s wrapped around it to more wiring, and attach that to your device? Why the distance? Why not just connect the setting directly to the device?”
“You absolutely can, if space isn’t an issue. Technically, the connection between the mana battery and the device, even if it’s just a single point with no distance, is still referred to as a conduit, though, so it’s considered a three part creation.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Do you want to try making your own, now? I don’t mind lending you a little wire.”
“Sure, but I should be good on material, I can produce it with my skills. Doesn’t last without a source of mana, but I guess the core itself might provide enough. Think this little chip is a bit small to put holes in, though.”
Xander looked at the small piece of crystal in his hand. If he just need as much contact as possible with a mana conductive material, his best bet would be to embed it into a sapphire or ruby. He decided on ruby, for no particular reason. Still holding the chip of core in his hand, he concentrated on his [Creation] ability. Valteria watched, amazed, as a ruby began to take form and grow around the piece of core until it was completely coated in a thin layer of gemstone.
“So, you can just... make things?” Valteria asked, sounding jealous.
“Well, it costs mana, and anything I make that isn’t provided a source of mana that leaves my person disintegrates in a day, but, yes. I can just make things with my skills. But,” he added, cutting off Valteria’s complaint of unfairness, “I have never received a skill that actually lets me improve a material. Sure, I have runes, which generally makes up the difference, but I don’t have any skills that improve the things I make. So, if you made a mana battery, and I made a mana battery the same way with identical materials, yours is going to be better, I assume, because you have skills that passively improve the things that you make, am I right?”
“Okayyy,” Valteria huffed. “I guess that does make it a little less unfair. But ugh! It would be so nice not having to source materials.” She looked at the ruby with a piece of core set inside it that Xander had made. “Well, I guess that about does it for making a setting... I thought it might have taken you longer to make one. I guess we can move on to fixing my armor even sooner! It’ll be nice to have it up and moving again.”
“Sure, sure, we can do that. Where is it, anyway?” Xander asked, looking around the shop again like he somehow would have missed the eight foot tall suit of armor.
“It’s in a shed behind the house,” Valteria explained. “I have it on a hoist so I can work on it.”
“Ah, that would explain why I haven’t seen it around.”
Exiting the shop, stopping for Valteria to put a small ‘closed’ sign on the door, the two of them made their way around the building, where Xander saw the small shed that presumably held Valteria’s armor. It looked like it could just barely hold the armor and one person – two, if they were comfortable with each other – inside it.
“So this is where the magic happens?” Xander asked.
“If by ‘magic’ you mean maintenance and upgrades, then yes,” Valteria agreed. She opened the door of the shed, which comprised most of the front of the tiny little building, revealing her suit of armor, which was currently hanging from several chains attached to pulleys on the ceiling. Plates of armor were laying strewn about the suite, leaving the joints and inner workings more exposed.
Xander whistled, looking at the inner workings of the suit. He could see gears, cogs, and joints, and throughout the entirety of the armor were running filaments of silver wire, which he assumed were mana conduits running to and from elemental cores and the various mana powered aspects of the suit. “This thing really is impressive. Almost as impressive as the woman who made it,” he said.
Valteria giggled, “Stop it! You’re supposed to be fixing this mess, not flirting with me!”
“Awh, can’t I do both?” Xander asked, trying to sound as saccharine as possible.
“Mmm, I suppose that if you are sufficiently skilled at multitasking, I might allow it,” Valteria said in a mockingly thoughtful tone.
“Well, I just so happen to be an expert, so flirt away I shall,” Xander replied. “Now, how about the beauty in front of me shows me exactly where the other beauty in front of me needs some repairs?”
Valteria sighed at Xander’s antics, but he could see the slight flush in her face. “Well, you welded the wrist joints, elbows, and knees. They aren’t welded all the way round, it’s more like you smoothed over a portion of it like it was wet clay. So if you could just... put it back? Shape it back to how it was, that’s should be all that’s needed.”
“Pretty straightforward,” Xander said, standing behind Valteria as she pointed out each joint. He could see the misshapen parts where he’d slapped a weld onto the metal. He leaned over her and put his hands on the elbow joint that they were closest to and began to shape the metal back to its original form.
“You’re... very close,” Valteria murmured to him as he formed the metal.
“Would you like me not to be?” He asked, carefully.
Valteria was silent for a moment before answering, “No...” quietly.
Xander carefully shifted to be a little closer, but still not quite touching, as he moved on to the wrist joint of the same arm. The process itself was simple, but he was enjoying taking his time. As he finished the wrist, he turned to look at Valteria. He found himself looking right into her eyes, as she was staring back at him. Unable to resist the temptation he leaned in a little closer, gauging Valteria’s reaction. When she, too, leaned towards him, he closed the small gap between them, drawing her into another kiss. Valteria pressed herself against him, the shed hiding them from any prying eyes on the street, and let out a small noise as Xander squeezed her tight. She was breathing a little bit harder than before the kiss as they separated again.
Valteria let out a breath. “You’re… a really good kisser.”
“Yeah?” Xander said, pleased with himself. “You’re not so bad yourself.”
“And you’re a tease, looming over me like that in this tiny little shed,” Valteria continued. “Now you’ve got me all flustered, how am I supposed to work now?” She mock complained.
Xander was glad to see that Valteria was comfortable enough with him to joke like that. “Forgive me,” he said formally, making a deep bow, “How ever can I make it up to the lady?”
“Oh stop it, I will tolerate no bowing and scraping, even in jest,” Valteria said, slapping him lightly on the shoulder, as he was still holding the bow. “You can make it up to me by fixing the rest of these joints! And by taking me out to dinner?” She added, hopefully.
“I think that can be arranged,” Xander said. “Is there anywhere you have in mind? I will admit, I haven’t become very familiar with the local restaurant scene, what with my… dietary restrictions.”
“It doesn’t… make you feel bad to go out to a restaurant, does it?” Valteria asked softly, watching his face for a reaction.
“Nah, don’t worry,” Xander said, waving off the question with one hand. “It doesn’t bother me too much. Sure, I miss the taste of a good cut of steak, but I was never that into food. Eating was more of a thing I did because I had to, so I’m not completely devastated by the loss. And I can still get some vicarious enjoyment out of watching someone else enjoy their food. Really the worst part is awkwardly having to refuse ordering anything,” he said with a laugh.
“Alright, if you say so,” Valteria said, letting out a slight breath of relief. “I was just worried that it might be upsetting to you, is all. I know I would miss eating.” She paused for a moment, something clearly on her mind. “What do you miss? If you don’t mind my asking. I just… well, I’m curious what it’s like for you.”
“Mmm, in a lot of ways, life is still the same, and in other ways, I’m technically doing better than I was before. I’m incredibly resistant to damage now, even without my armor. I do miss sleeping, though. I try to give my mind a rest and just sort of daydream and let my thoughts wander or do some meditation during the nights, but it’s just not the same. Also means I’m the one that pulls guard duty through the night,” he grumbled. “Let’s see, what else, what else. Ah, right. I can’t smell anything. Or taste. I haven’t worked out how to recreate those senses, yet. Though no sense of smell can be handy sometimes, I suppose. I don’t know if you’ve done much merc work – you mentioned being surprised that I’m not just moonlighting – but uh… the smells that you encounter on a battlefield are… unpleasant. To say the least. It was weird not having a sense of touch either, but I’ve resolved that. It’s a little bit different than my previous, natural sense of touch, but I’ve become accustomed to it to the point that I don’t much think about the difference anymore. I think I’ve even got the density of receptors down in certain areas compared to others, so I'm more sensitive in some areas than others now, just like I used to be. I’m still immune to being tickled though, so don’t even think about it – that’s a fight you’ll lose.” Growing a bit more somber, Xander continued on. “I think… the biggest thing I miss is just the feeling that I fit in more. Now I always worry about being different, there’s that nagging fear that anyone I get to know well is going to reject me once they find out what I am. Like I’m secretly lying to everyone around me with this façade I have going on.”
Valteria nodded sadly. “I get that. I’ve been… rejected before, too. At least it happens or not right from the beginning for me. I get to know if they look down on me for being different immediately instead of fearing they might later down the road.”
“Yeah,” Xander said. “People can really suck sometimes. But at least I can just, like, not tell people what I am if I so chose. You, my teammates, and the guild, since it’s on my status sheet, are really the only people who know. I keep it pretty private. You can’t do that, so I think you probably have to deal with a lot worse than I do. Not that I’d want you to hide what or who you are,” he added. “I happen to be quite enamored with who you are,” he said, teasing a smile from Valteria’s sad face.
“Sorry to bring up such a dour topic,” Valteria apologized. “I didn’t think much on it before I asked.”
“No worries,” Xander told her. “Honestly, I think it’s good to be able to talk about it with someone. It’s healthy to be able to get you feelings out there. And it helps that I feel like you understand where I’m coming from with it, though from a slightly different perspective.”
“You’re surprisingly thoughtful sometimes,” Valteria said, only half teasing.
“Only sometimes?” Xander asked with a faux expression of hurt on his face. “By the way, you didn’t react much to my comment about moonlighting as a merc. Do you ever go on contracts?”
Valteria shrugged. “I certainly wouldn’t describe myself as a professional mercenary. Moonlighter is an apt descriptor, for me, I think. I have gone on a couple, here and there, mostly on kill contracts that would net me a core or organ that would be useful for my work.”
“Mm, that makes sense. I suppose it could be handy having access to the ability to take contracts that would give you access to specialty materials,” Xander said.
“It’s also good for business,” Valteria explained. “Mercs tend to like to buy from someone who has at least been out on a contract or two before.”
“Ah, that makes sense. What kind of things do you sell to mercenaries, anyways? I saw Jarrett with a crossbow yesterday, but I imagine you make other things, too.”
“Oh all kinds of little things. Portable, flameless heaters for cooking. Water purification sieves. Mm, let’s see… I’ve made a few custom order devices, too. One customer wanted to be able to shoot a jet of flame from their gauntlet, that was a fun one.”
“Ooh, that does sound fun… reminds me of my flamethrower.”
“Your flamethrower?”
“Yeah, it’s basically a big tank with a hose attached to it. At the end of the hose is a pump that causes the flammable liquid – I use dragon’s tar – to shoot out. Add a flame that the tar passes over and bam! You’ve got a giant stream of flame that will coat anything it hits with sticky, flammable tar,” Xander said, excitedly describing the device.
“That’s… impressive. And kind of horrifying,” Valteria responded.
“Mm… I guess you’re right. I mostly use it on giant spiders. Blugh,” Xander shuddered. “But yeah, I suppose it’s not the nicest of ways to go. Very effective for area denial, though. Ah, actually I have an idea for crossbow bolt head that would ignite when it shatters! We should make that sometime and see if it sells.”
“Hmm, I think that would draw some buyers. A flaming bolt head you didn’t have to light first could be desirable to certain buyers.”
“Put that on the list and we’ll get around to it sometime.”
“We have a list?” Valteria said confusedly.
“We should!” Xander said with a laugh. “Now let’s get the rest of these joints done.”
The repair of the other arm and the leg joints that Xander had locked into position during the tournament was a short affair. Looking over the bare metal frame of the armor still hanging from the ceiling, Xander clapped his hands together, mimicking dusting them off. “Good as new!” He exclaimed. Looking over to Valteria he asked concernedly, “It is good as new, right?”
Valteria had been staring at the armor as well, lost in thought about how she was going to improve it next. “Hmm? Oh, yes. It’s right as rain again, ready for use. Thank you, by the way. For fixing it,” She said awkwardly.
“Well I’m the one who broke it, so it’s only fair that I fix it. So what do you want to work on next?” Xander asked. “I could do some rune work for you. Orrr… we could kiss some more?”
Valteria flushed at the question, but didn’t immediately say no.
A few minutes later, she found herself on her tip toes and lightly pressed against the interior wall of the shed, her lips pressed against Xanders.
Once the two of them were done acting like teenagers parked in a secluded parking lot, they made their way back into the shop. Stepping inside and closing the door behind them, Valteria let out a breath. “I think… you are going to have to do a lot of rune work to make up for how much you just kissed me, Xander.”
“What, you didn’t like it?” He said with a raised eyebrow.
“I didn’t say that,” Valteria said with a smirk.

Personally, I've been rating albums for six years and there have been periods where I've been too focused on giving a rating that reflects my opinion on an album rather than enjoying it. Recently I've been randomly revisiting some albums that I've loved and listening to some new ones without taking into account any rating and, to be honest, I've rediscovered what genuinely listening to music is.
I think that in the music community there's too much emphasis on rating and reviewing an album and less on just discussing and sharing music. I see people listening to 4 or 5 albums a day and rating them on RYM and I genuinely feel that they can't be enjoying all that music, it must feel like a chore to them. To listen to an album and then immediately give it a rating and forget that it exists, without taking into consideration how an album grows on you with time, how mood can affect your enjoyment of it, what that album meant at the time it was released and what it means now...
When I started to be a music lover I used to dig deep into YouTube recommendations, click on any album with an interesting cover art or title, and then enjoy it while reading all the positive comments left by the users. When I moved to RYM for my recs I entered a world that dug deeper into music (YouTube, unless a documentary, views music on a superficial level), but I also saw a passive-aggressive, elitist side of music that I don't quite like, and I think that it affected my way of enjoying music because I took into account the general opinion of the site.
Now I'm going back to just clicking on YouTube videos, talking to people about music and listening to whatever they recommend, living music in a less analytical way and letting myself enjoy whatever comes into my hands without thinking if it's considered good music or radio-friendly commercial crap.
How do you feel about this matter?

So I (23F) have been working for a sports club for two years now. Last year, I reached out to my 2 bosses who both coach D2 college sports teams about taking up new responsibilities and doing graphic design for the club.
I have since graduated but I was studying design all through college and wanted an opportunity to grow my portfolio and I knew the girl that currently did graphics was just doing it as a favor and did all of them on Canva (not that there’s anything wrong with that). They agreed and I met with one of my bosses, I’ll call him Phil.
Phil told me he was excited about the prospect of content creation and was interested in me doing photography and videography on top of my graphic design work. He also wanted me to make videos for his and my other boss’s college teams. I told him I had little experience in that but was excited to try and learn. Cut to now.
The year I’ve been working there is almost up. I reached out to my boss and asked him if he wanted to meet or talk about the prospect of me continuing my work next year as well. His response was NOT what I was expecting. He told me he was disappointed because the main thing he wanted me to do was videography. He said photos and graphics can be done by “most anybody” and the video editing for the college teams and the sports club never really happened.
We made 2 videos for the sports club over the year that we planned out together. I traveled with him and his college team to their championship where I took photos and videos but I never made an edited video of the championship games. I have never received negative feedback from my other boss about the work I had been doing graphics wise which I spend a lot of time and effort creating.
I hadn’t received any feedback at all from Phil until now. 1 month before my contract is up. I truly was not expecting it and feel so angry, hurt, and upset. This is my first job in the design field and I have been so proud of the work I have been doing. I knew he wanted me to make videos, but he never followed up on a video after our first conversation when he offered me the job. I could’ve maybe been more proactive? or maybe he wanted me to take the initiative on video creation? Either way, I had no idea he felt this way until today. My boyfriend and parents say I should quit. I truly don’t know what to do or if I am really in the wrong here. I don’t think I am, but I don’t know it’s my first job in my field and maybe I should’ve known the expectations. Any advice would be really appreciated as well.

The global warfarin market is projected to experience substantial growth, with a notable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4%, potentially reaching USD 2,732 million by 2027.

Market Trends:
Shift Towards Novel Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs): There is a noticeable trend towards the adoption of Novel Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) as alternatives to traditional warfarin therapy. NOACs offer advantages such as rapid onset of action, predictable pharmacokinetics, and fewer dietary and drug interactions compared to warfarin, driving a gradual shift in treatment preferences.
Personalized Medicine Approaches: With advancements in pharmacogenomics, there is growing interest in personalized medicine approaches for anticoagulant therapy, including warfarin dosing. Genetic testing for variants in genes such as CYP2C9 and VKORC1 enables healthcare providers to tailor warfarin dosages more precisely, minimizing the risk of adverse events and improving treatment outcomes.
Increasing Focus on Patient Monitoring and Management: There's a heightened emphasis on patient monitoring and management to optimize the efficacy and safety of warfarin therapy. Innovations in point-of-care testing devices, remote monitoring solutions, and patient education programs empower patients and healthcare providers to manage anticoagulation therapy more effectively, reducing the risk of complications such as bleeding and thrombosis.
Integration of Digital Health Technologies: Digital health technologies, including mobile applications, wearables, and telemedicine platforms, are being integrated into anticoagulation management workflows to enhance patient engagement, adherence, and clinical outcomes. These technologies enable real-time communication between patients and healthcare providers, facilitating remote monitoring, medication adherence tracking, and timely intervention when needed.
Focus on Safety and Bleeding Risk Mitigation: Efforts to minimize the risk of bleeding complications associated with warfarin therapy remain a key focus area in anticoagulation management. Strategies such as dose optimization, regular monitoring of International Normalized Ratio (INR) levels, and patient education on bleeding risk factors and precautions are essential for ensuring the safe and effective use of warfarin.
Market Opportunities:
The Warfarin market presents several opportunities for growth and innovation. With the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, including atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism, there is a growing demand for anticoagulant therapies such as Warfarin. Opportunities exist for pharmaceutical companies to develop and commercialize novel formulations, combination therapies, and dosage forms to address unmet medical needs and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, advancements in pharmacogenomics offer opportunities for personalized medicine approaches, including genetic testing to optimize Warfarin dosing and minimize the risk of adverse events. Integration of digital health technologies such as mobile applications, wearables, and telemedicine platforms presents opportunities to enhance patient engagement, medication adherence, and remote monitoring of anticoagulation therapy.

I’m fairly new to the game and the thing I enjoy the most is the challenge of mythic+. I like proactive healing spec such as resto Druid and disc Priest.
However this patch, several ppl told me that I put them down by running Disc as Holy seems to be the stronger spec. I ignored it bcz I want to play what I enjoy. But now I’m hurting a wall, I enter +6 keys and I can’t handle the Hall of infusion, the 2nd and 3rd are just too much. There is 0 downtime I can’t heal check thoses fight without sacrificing my dps to make me survive or I just wipe and the group disband.
Does ppl here that play disc priest have some tips for me to win thoses bosses. Is switching to holy the easier solution to pass the key?

I've been interviewing for a new job and it's an owner's rep basically. The title is "Jr Construction Manager" and I know titles are fancy words and mean nothing but I'm newer in this industry and would like some guidance. I'm currently an APM and make $68k with 2 years of GC experience. This new job is offering $75k.
During my final interview, the director who I would directly report to seemed very nice overall, but he told me this wasn't really construction since I expressed to him that I enjoy being in this industry even though it's mainly project management focused on construction. The responsibilities are heavy administration which I expected and they are the owner with a small construction team but they focus on boat marinas so not really all that commercial tenant finish outs I'm used to.
If I want to succeed and eventually be a PM, is this a good route to take? From GC to owner? I want to be acknowledgeable to work in a GC and take on my own projects years ahead. Also HR told me during initial call that they're offering $75k but is it worth countering $80k if I get an offer? Thank you.

I'm the new manager of a small property. I've been with my current company for almost 4 years, and in my current position/property for only about 3 weeks. I know, I'm still very new, and I know a lot of my anxiety is normal. I've been an assistant manager before, and I feel like I've faired pretty well (hence the promotion). However, I'm starting to think I'm too insecure to effectively manage a staff.
My team doesn't trust me just yet (which makes sense!) and my confidence is low. The team would rather go to my assistant to ask questions because they've been at this particular property longer than I have (again, makes sense). My assistant also applied for my position, so I feel like there's underlying feelings there. They've also made a couple of judgment calls about some important things without consulting me first, when I feel like it should've been a decision we made together. Nothing that can't be rectified, but adds to my concerns.
Anyway, I know these things are normal.. I'm sure I'll improve and build relationships over time, and I think things are already slowly getting better. I've been trying to be a little more proactive and ask questions.
However, my morale is still low. I find myself casually scrolling through Indeed more often than not. I'm longing for the days when I was "a really good worker with management potential" than a manager. I think my insecurities are just gnawing away at my morale. Any thoughts? Advice (other than therapy, I'm already in therapy lol)?
