Demos penile pump
Another Silent Hills PT sample at the end of Sit & Mourn
2024.05.14 00:47 snake-in-my-flipflop Another Silent Hills PT sample at the end of Sit & Mourn
 | The Silent Hills PT demo is my Roman empire, you could say... submitted by snake-in-my-flipflop to knockedloose [link] [comments] I was pumped when I caught this sample from the game right at the end of Sit & Mourn. You can hear it around 2:37 in the linked video. The clip is specifically from the ambient sound when Lisa (the ghost in the game) is haunting the player. They have also sampled audio from this game in other songs... -In The Walls sampled a radio news broadcast, the l yrics are also quite relevant to the themes explored in the game.
I would LOVE to hear the band's reasoning behind repeatedly going back and sampling from this game. |
2024.05.13 06:01 Kirkmack I need support with hard flaccid syndrome after I used penis extenders and pumps from dangerous penile enhancement regimens found online.
Dear Brothers,
I'll ask a most private-natured question about what has caused me significant worry and strife. Around a month ago, I was foolishly eager to injure my manhood with penis extender and pump products from an experimental enlargement regimen I found online. No gains were see for many months after daily usage, and later on, a negative turn occurred when the harmful practices left my member severely swollen with unbearable pain.
Since the fateful incident, I've endured a chronic vice-like sensation of tightness and firmness throughout my flaccid penis. The biggest disturbance is the physical appearance and loss of erection quality, as the situation leaves an intimate shadow of my former self. My hindered penis has taken a mighty toll on my spirit because of my diminished penile state.
Through extensive research, I believe my symptoms align with hard flaccid syndrome, as I found the condition is brought upon by an overstretched penis in pursuit of harmful prowess. While the root cause remains uncertain, the symptoms are evidence of how penile damage occurred.
Fellows, if anyone has experienced similar hardships after misguidance from dangerous penis enhancement endeavors, please share your situation. Genuine support can offer comfort to me because of the stressful occurrence. I would be glad to hear any experiences to assist with the low phase of the condition.

2024.05.13 01:22 Ysildea Red Rot Update
 | A little follow up from my suspected red rot on my Geneva cornet. submitted by Ysildea to trumpet [link] [comments] So I spoke to the manufacturer themselves, the cornet was sold as ex-demo so was not under warranty. They said it didn’t look like red rot but instead a lacquer issue and asked me to take it to a technician they use to basically have the lacquer sanded in the effected area and a nail varnish put over it. On a horn that is less than 1 year old, this wasn’t really something I wanted. I decided to take it to a trusted technician I have used for other work before and for a very reasonable price, have the cornet silver plated. The bell section ended up being a huge task with the technician confirming red rot and basically the whole bell being a bit of a dog. He has had to silver and nickel plate in an attempt to prevent the rot from showing through. Even with this work he called me this morning he is not happy with the final finish and has offered to rose gold plate the bell section at no extra cost to try and bring it up to scratch. Apparently gold plating has finer molecules or something which will help fill in the porous sections of rot. I’m in two minds with what to do with this cornet in the long term. This work probably has solved the rot issue for at least the next 10 years or so, but it’s a bit like having a car where you know the fuel pump is dodgy… you can get it fixed but deep down you know there’s an issue. It’s a shame that the metal in the bell is so dodgy because the instrument plays beautifully. Anyway, enjoy the pictures, more to follow when the gold plating of the bell is done. I can PM details for the technician in the UK I have used. |
2024.05.12 23:18 fkalcnakxndjw Do I have a chance at getting into a PhD program with funding?
 | I genuinely don't know. I never really thought grad school was a financially feasible option for me until my clueless first gen ass found out PhD programs are often funded. I'd really like to go to grad school for some kind of satellite-related research but I know engineering is really competitive and I worry that any place I'd be capable of getting into wouldn't necessarily guarantee me funding. My resume is pretty mid other than the fancy school name but I know that isn't a magic ticket or anything. I don't really have an excuse besides being really overwhelmed coming into MIT as a first gen from a shitty rural school and dealing with lots of mental and physical health issues. I'm hoping to gain more experience continuing my current research job through the summer and into senior year (except for a few weeks off to recover when they yeet one of my organs out of my shitty body next month lmao). I'm just ranting now but yeah be brutally honest lol submitted by fkalcnakxndjw to gradadmissions [link] [comments] |

Hi, this is my first time buying a car. It’s a 2023 demo (3k km) with black roof, no heat pump, and S package. MSRP is 60,990.
I got it down to 61.5k (cash purchase) after tax and incentive. Options include trunk liner, monster mats, anti-theft, tire warranty, and wheel bolts.
Total discount is $3,449 + $2,100 freight & PDI (waived). I’m in SW Ontario.

2024.05.12 15:38 mkraft Renovating/Updating garage after flooding. Need inspiration & pics for the DIY part
This week, we're beginning the biggest renovation project on our house since we moved in 4 years ago: sump pump installation and "down to the studs" renovation of the single-car garage that we use as storage and workbench.
"Garage renovation" companies around here are astronomically expensive, and the demo/reno is already pricey, so we're doing the furnishing and storage ourselves.
I'm losing the large worktables that we inherited from the prior owner, but gaining a ton of wallspace and square footage. Planning on getting some industrial-size metal wire shelves for storing the Xmas tree and other bulky items, and a set of cabinets/drawers from Costco.
Would love to see any projects y'all have done--any really creative storage solutions for bikes, tools, miscellaneous nuts & bolts, etc?

2024.05.11 17:43 Riddley55 Penile implant and girth growth.
Greetings, So here is my situation. I have an inflatable penile implant. It consists of two cylinders that operate as my corpus cavernosum. So when I inflate them by squeezing a pump bulb held in my scrotum, they inflate and I get hard.
My fully inflated BPEL is 8inchs on the nose and I don't want to get any longer. My girth is only 5 inch right now. I would like to get that north of 5.5 inches. So, I believe the only restriction on my girth is my tunica. I have read accounts of men with my implant having the type of girth that I want.
So one question is which aspect of girth growth is the limiting factor timewise...growing the tunica or the corpus? My corpus grows with a couple of extra pumps. I'm wondering at what speed I might be able to make gains just worrying about my tunica?
Second question is which way to go about this in order to max girth gains while minimizing and lenght? What exercises should I be doing bearing in mind I only have to worry about growing the tunica?
Thanks for any input.

2024.05.11 15:09 imthisguymike Seeking Service Recommendations - House Related Repairs/Upgrades
Hi there, my house is currently having demo/repairs due to a water leak that the insurance (supposedly) is taking care of. (My house is in Capitol Heights) Currently in my basement, it’s been reduced to mostly just studs. In my basement I have my water heater and central air and furnace (ducted). When I had my home inspection, when I bought it in November 2023, I was told the furnace and the water heater was on its last legs.
My thought is right now might be a good time to take advantage of the tax credits and the fact that my basement is gutted, and get it replaced before the contractors put in the drywall.
Here’s what I’m looking for, and it needs to qualify for the fed tax credit and hopefully utility rebates too. 1) Gas Tankless Water Heater (I’m thinking Rheem Super High Efficiency Ikonic Rtgh-s11i) 2) Ducted Inverter Heat Pump (I believe my 1551sqft not including basement sqft, needs 3ton-3.5ton)
bonus I also would like to do some electric rate shaving, with a small solar array. For the solar panels, they will be essentially ground mount, and I’ll take care of that part myself. I’ll need to work with an electrician to get the hybrid inverter and batteries mounted and installed.

 | Alrighty boy and girls! Here it is, this is The Doohickey, I couldn’t be more pumped on how it turned out and I’m hoping people are really into it :) so what we have here is essentially a shakenoise box that you’re able to run your guitar signal through. It requires no power supply since it’s pretty much just signal flow direction/redirection. The toggle switch on the front allows you to go between a clean signal, guitar and module signal in tandem, and also just the module alone can be played with. Fun to use by itself but definitely waaaaay more fun when passed through some delays or reverbs or some gritty distortion. Once I film the demo I’ll try to get it onto here too, very excited to show you guys this, ps pls excuse my desk 😇 submitted by Post_War_Designs to diypedals [link] [comments] |
2024.05.10 20:44 repulsive-ardor They Answered The Call-Part Twelve
Eleven days prior
The ten stealth pods were on their final approach after drifting for two days from the small moon orbiting their target planet. They were ejected from a nullship that flashed out of null space below the moon’s southern pole, taking advantage of the strong magnetic fields in that region to mask the exit flash and avoid detection by the insectoid ships in orbit around the planet. The planet and the moon were currently transiting through a large meteor stream that intersected their orbit around the sun three times a year. The command-pod AI ran billions of calculations per second as it started creating an atmospheric entry plan for the ten pods that would coincide with the trajectories of the numerous particles of dust and debris that would be entering the atmosphere for the next three days.
Selecting an area with a projected high concentration of small-diameter meteors in the next hour, the AI created a maneuvering program for the pods that activated a series of compressed-gas positional thrusters to guide the pods over to the entry point. The AI confirmed the calculations and initiated the final entry program as the ten pods fired their rear gas thrusters one last time and accelerated towards the planet. They were joined by over a thousand pieces of cosmic debris as they entered the atmosphere and streaked across the sky, flaring brightly as they dropped towards the surface with the other meteors.
Kepler-186f system
2nd planet, Insectoid Builder World, 2174 A.D.
The special forces team had been on the planet for ten days without seeing any signs or indications of the presence of a queen on the planet. Lieutenant Diego could not believe the sheer number of drones he saw in the last nine days since they marched forty kilometers from their landing site towards an endlessly sprawling ground-based shipyard facility. Tens of millions of drones scurried about day and night as raw material was offloaded by massive aerial cargo ships that landed, were emptied, and flew off to reload in an endless procession. Diego found himself enthralled by their construction processes and the astonishing speed at which they built ships. In just the last five days, he saw ten insectoid cruisers go from a skeletal framework to fully completed and watched as they lifted off the surface and went into orbit. He was particularly impressed with how the tough ship hulls were created. A large percentage of the cargo being dropped off seemed to be organic in nature and was dumped into large tanks scattered throughout the shipyard.
A conveyor system comprising hundreds of thousands of worker drones connected all the tanks and would snake their way among the shipbuilding areas, carrying loads of the organic material on their backs and dumping it at the end of the lines. Other drones with smaller containers would fill them with material and bring them to waiting drones by the ships, dumping the contents on the ground in front of them, and then go back for more material. The drones in front of their piles would then start eating the organic material, swallowing it. After they ate the pile in front of them, they would scurry over to the ships and start regurgitating what they ate into their tarsal claws in small amounts and shaping them into round balls. They would then stack the balls in a row like bricklayers until they ran out of regurgitated material. They would then go back to eat more material, while teams of drones would take their place and wave a handheld apparatus that seemed to heat the balls, and they would melt, deforming from the treatment and filling in the gaps, turning into perfect hexagons.
Once a section was completed, a different team of drones would arrive with a large device and set it up. They would then turn the device on, and a god-awful screeching sound would emanate from the front of the device and be directed towards the still-soft sections of the hull. Within thirty seconds, that section of hull would start groaning, and the opaque, soft hexagons would turn jet black and harden into a tough, metal-like material. An Insectoid cruiser that was 360 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 120 meters tall would have its entire hull constructed and enclosed in forty-two hours.
An alert popped up on his HUD that it was time to insert another energy pack into the shrouding system that camouflaged his team and prevented detection. He keyed his throat mike and issued the command for everyone to replace their energy packs, and he turned to face the two civilian scientists to make sure that they received and understood the order. He was vehemently opposed to bringing them, but the admiral was adamant that they were to accompany the team, and Diego relented after some resistance. There was no way in hell he was willing to piss off the big man over a couple of civvies; there were better hills to die on.
As he watched them fumble about for their replacement packs, he smiled and had to admit that they were growing on him. During the two weeks it took them to get to the far side of Insectoid space, their wide-eyed enthusiasm and willingness to talk about their respective fields of study seemed to infect his team, and they became almost like little siblings to them. He chuckled to himself as he remembered how confused Dr. Ariti seemed to be by the fact that his team was able to process and retain the information she was telling them with ease. He was there when Dr. Masiello informed her that the eight-member team held over twenty PhD’s among them, and the look on her face was just the cutest thing he ever saw.
The sun was halfway down past the horizon, which meant they had just another hour of daylight before darkness would arrive. He signaled that it was time to pack up and move, and in a few minutes, they were headed back towards their base camp. He was grateful for the .7g gravity on the surface, as it made their daily hikes with equipment and the frequent relocations of their camp to avoid detection easier. It also gave his joints a welcome reprieve from their usual aches, a mercy he greatly appreciated. They arrived at base camp a half hour later, and everyone went about their assigned tasks and end-of-day routines before they all sat down around a red-light lantern in the middle of the camp to have dinner.
The combination of the eerie red light and the pitch blackness of their surroundings was something none of them could get used to, and it created an ominous atmosphere as they reluctantly opened their ration packs. The shrouding device could hide them effectively, but they enacted as many safeguards as they could against detection, such as only using red lights at night and eating foods that had been stripped of any scent and devoid of flavoring spices. The result of their security measures was that they felt like they were eating cardboard in hell. Diego had been sick before and felt like he couldn’t really taste his food when his nose was stuffed, but he always knew he was eating his mom’s chicken soup. As vague as the scent and taste of the soup might be, it was still there, and he could detect its essence. The food they were eating was on a totally different level, and he never realized just how important a component smell was to tasting food until he ate rations completely devoid of any scent or seasoning except for salt and potassium chloride.
As they choked down their dinner, he noticed Emily and Owen shooting furtive glances at each other, and they seemed agitated. He waited until they all finished eating and indicated that he wanted to talk to them alone. They walked 10 meters away from the red-light lamp and stopped right on the edge of the total blackness surrounding their camp. Emily and Owen seemed really distressed, and he knew something was seriously wrong. He didn’t have the time or the patience for their bullshit, and his internal alarms were going off wildly.
“What is going on with you two? Tell me, now.” He saw them cringe at his harsh manner, but he couldn’t afford to feel bad for them. Not on an enemy planet with almost thirty billion wasps that were five feet tall and armed with skull-cracking mandibles and twelve-inch serrated stingers coming out of their asses. They didn’t answer, and he stepped forward into their personal space and was just about to demand answers when Owen, in an uncharacteristic show of bravery, put himself in front of Emily as if to protect her.
“Lieutenant, I would appreciate it if you would direct your questions to me. There is no reason for you to speak to Emily like this. She is rightfully terrified, and I have spent the last ten days trying not to shit my fucking pants in front of all of you, so do me a favor and get the fuck out of our faces.”
Diego couldn’t believe the balls on this puke, and he almost gave in to his desire to punch the defiant bastard in the face before he realized how ridiculous it was. Here he was, squaring off with an entomologist who was telling him to fuck off, and the absurdity of it all and the pressures of the mission came crashing into him. He took a few steps back, turning around and breathing deeply, trying to calm himself. Owen, now in the throes of an uncontrolled adrenaline crash, waited a few seconds and then stepped next to him and put out a very shaky fist bump, offering an unsaid apology with his eyes. Diego bumped it, and he turned back to face Emily. “I apologize for the way I spoke to you; I am not used to having civilians on my missions. I hope we can reset and put this behind us.”
Emily nodded, and Owen walked back over and stood next to her. Emily looked at Owen and nodded, and Owen pulled out a data pad, set it on the floor, and pressed a button. A holographic map floated above it, and he pinched the display with his fingers and zoomed into the area where they were currently located. “Lieutenant, we are of the opinion that we are not going to locate a queen on the surface.” He expanded the map back out and swiped it sideways to an area over a hundred kilometers to the east. He zoomed back in and pressed an icon on the map that added a subterranean scan, and a massive underground structure popped into view, looking like an upside-down pinecone, with the narrow top of the structure expanding in size as it went deeper. Diego leaned forward to look at the numbers on the side of the structure and whistled softly to himself as the estimated dimensions were displayed. The structure was thirty-six kilometers deep and had a radius of twelve kilometers at its widest. It was a massive underground Hive, and there was a flashing question mark in the center of the Hive where there was a large chamber located. It seemed to be the nexus of the Hive, which was connected to the rest of the structure by six bridges or tunnels. Owen pointed towards the question mark icon. “This has to be the queen chamber, and if there is a queen currently on the planet, that is where she will be.”
Diego stared at the map, thinking about how to get her out of there. He keyed his throat mike and called for Sgt. Singh to join them at their location. A few moments later, he arrived, and Diego quickly brought him up to speed. Singh was the team’s engineer sergeant, and he thoughtfully stroked his beard as he looked at the display. “Obviously, we cannot infiltrate the Hive to root the bitch out. I have enough explosives and demo bots to severely damage some of the cruisers under construction; maybe that will get the queen to leave the Hive, if she is even in there.” He finished speaking, and Diego looked at the doctors to gauge their reaction to what he said. Emily spoke first. “I would not do that. We don’t know what their response to that will be. They might have soldier drones. We haven’t seen any here or found any evidence of them from the wreckage in the Eleani system, but that does not mean that they do not have a soldier or guard caste protecting their hives.”
Owen nodded in agreement and added, “We need to find a way to know for sure if there even is a queen here before alerting them to our presence. Who’s to say that the queens wouldn’t respond to such an attack by retreating to their primary world and staying there, depriving us of a chance to grab a queen ever again? I might have an idea, and the sergeant’s expertise and input would be welcomed.” Diego nodded, and both he and Singh took a knee as Owen played around with the map, highlighting an area of the shipyard almost fifty kilometers from their position.
He asked his AI assistant to access the geological and topographical scans that were taken from orbit before they landed on the planet and highlighted a five-square-kilometer section of crust under the outer edge of the shipyard. “The crust is extremely thin here, and there is a massive chasm underneath this area from the worker drones pumping out the aquifer for water. I think a series of properly placed sub-surface explosives will cause the thin roof of the chasm to weaken enough to collapse a small area, and the weight of this section of the shipyard will add further stress to the undamaged crust and collapse the entire area, causing all the ships and workers to fall into the chasm. It would seem to be a natural occurrence, and we can avoid having to give away our presence on the planet. I bet that will get the queen up here if she is in the Hive.” Owen then added markers indicating where he thought the explosives should go and their yields, and then looked at Singh, waiting for his response.
Singh quickly played around with the map, ran his own calculations on the placement and explosive yields, and looked at Owen with a growing respect in his eyes as his AI assistant verified the numbers. “Not bad, Doc; this is pretty good for a bug guy! Are you a geologist too?” Owen smiled widely at the praise from Singh and answered with obvious pride in his voice. “Actually, I did two six-month tours as an ore prospector in the Fomalhaut asteroid belts before my then-girlfriend threatened to break up with me. I was pretty good at figuring out the proper explosive placement to break up the asteroids while maintaining the integrity of the mineral deposits and cores. It was a fun job, and the money I made paid for my parents retirement home and my college.” Singh nodded approvingly and stood up, walking over to Owen and warmly shaking his hand. “It is always nice to make the acquaintance of an ore prospector; it’s a dangerous job and requires a lot of technical skill.”
Diego rolled his eyes and studied the map while the two of them continued talking about blowing crap up and zoned out the lovefest. Emily came over and sat down next to him. “I agree with Owen. If the queen is in the Hive, she would have to come out and oversee the worker drone response to the collapse. Do you think it is a good plan?” Diego grunted in response as he continued to think about the feasibility of the plan and the possible outcomes. He turned to her and nodded. “I do think it is a solid plan, and even if there is no queen here, then at least we can do some damage to their shipbuilding efforts for a short period of time. There’s what—almost two hundred cruisers in that area? At least we can strike a blow against them if we fail in our objective to capture a queen. Wiping out two hundred cruisers and a few million drones is a nice consolation prize, and we can exfil this planet with pride in that accomplishment.” Emily smiled at him and said, “It would be nice to get off the planet and go back home. I know I volunteered to come here for the mission, but I am tired of being scared all the time; it is exhausting.”
Diego reached out and lightly patted her on the shoulder. “You two are doing a fine damn job so far. I have to admit that the both of you have been far less trouble than I was expecting to have to deal with on this mission.” Emily smiled widely. “Thank you for that, lieutenant; that means a great deal to me.” Diego smiled in return and stood up, offering his hand to assist Emily. They walked back over to Singh and Owen, who were geeking out over the demo bot specs that Singh had pulled up on his wrist pad. “If you two lovebirds are about done, let’s head back over and quickly outline our preliminary plan to the rest of the team. We will work out the details, solidify a proper plan in the morning, and go from there.”
They all started walking back towards the red-light lamp, and Diego slowed his pace as he walked behind them, listening along as Owen was telling Emily and Singh about a time when he spent two days evading an ore pirate ship in a cat-and-mouse chase. His copilot was killed in the initial attack, and he managed to cripple their ship with mining charges when he laid a trap and led them into it. “Not bad for a puke.” He thought to himself as his previous estimation of the scientist rose considerably as Owen described how his damaged ship was almost out of air, so in desperation, he boarded the drifting ore pirate ship and single-handedly took the four survivors prisoners.
A little while later, after everyone had gone into their tents to sleep, Diego was just about to drift off when he heard a faint rustling sound outside his tent and sat upright, alarmed. The sentry bots and the perimeter sensor system did not activate the silent buzz alarm on his wrist pad, and he tapped it, accessing the video feed from the overhead sentry drone that was floating above their camp. From this bird's-eye view, he saw Emily finish tiptoeing across the camp and stop outside Owen’s tent. She looked furtively around the camp before pressing the entry seam control and quickly slipping into his tent before the seam closed back up behind her. He pressed a series of commands, and a few moments later, a backup shroud drone silently assumed position over the tent and activated, making it disappear from the visual feed. He broke the connection to the overhead sentry drone and laid back down, feeling a genuine smile form on his face. He closed his eyes and thought his last thought before sleep overcame him.
“Not bad at all, Owen.”

The ten stealth pods were on their final approach after drifting for two days from the small moon orbiting their target planet. They were ejected from a nullship that flashed out of null space below the moon’s southern pole, taking advantage of the strong magnetic fields in that region to mask the exit flash and avoid detection by the insectoid ships in orbit around the planet. The planet and the moon were currently transiting through a large meteor stream that intersected their orbit around the sun three times a year. The command-pod AI ran billions of calculations per second as it started creating an atmospheric entry plan for the ten pods that would coincide with the trajectories of the numerous particles of dust and debris that would be entering the atmosphere for the next three days.
Selecting an area with a projected high concentration of small-diameter meteors in the next hour, the AI created a maneuvering program for the pods that activated a series of compressed-gas positional thrusters to guide the pods over to the entry point. The AI confirmed the calculations and initiated the final entry program as the ten pods fired their rear gas thrusters one last time and accelerated towards the planet. They were joined by over a thousand pieces of cosmic debris as they entered the atmosphere and streaked across the sky, flaring brightly as they dropped towards the surface with the other meteors.
Kepler-186f system
2nd planet, Insectoid Builder World, 2174 A.D.
The special forces team had been on the planet for ten days without seeing any signs or indications of the presence of a queen on the planet. Lieutenant Diego could not believe the sheer number of drones he saw in the last nine days since they marched forty kilometers from their landing site towards an endlessly sprawling ground-based shipyard facility. Tens of millions of drones scurried about day and night as raw material was offloaded by massive aerial cargo ships that landed, were emptied, and flew off to reload in an endless procession. Diego found himself enthralled by their construction processes and the astonishing speed at which they built ships. In just the last five days, he saw ten insectoid cruisers go from a skeletal framework to fully completed and watched as they lifted off the surface and went into orbit. He was particularly impressed with how the tough ship hulls were created. A large percentage of the cargo being dropped off seemed to be organic in nature and was dumped into large tanks scattered throughout the shipyard.
A conveyor system comprising hundreds of thousands of worker drones connected all the tanks and would snake their way among the shipbuilding areas, carrying loads of the organic material on their backs and dumping it at the end of the lines. Other drones with smaller containers would fill them with material and bring them to waiting drones by the ships, dumping the contents on the ground in front of them, and then go back for more material. The drones in front of their piles would then start eating the organic material, swallowing it. After they ate the pile in front of them, they would scurry over to the ships and start regurgitating what they ate into their tarsal claws in small amounts and shaping them into round balls. They would then stack the balls in a row like bricklayers until they ran out of regurgitated material. They would then go back to eat more material, while teams of drones would take their place and wave a handheld apparatus that seemed to heat the balls, and they would melt, deforming from the treatment and filling in the gaps, turning into perfect hexagons.
Once a section was completed, a different team of drones would arrive with a large device and set it up. They would then turn the device on, and a god-awful screeching sound would emanate from the front of the device and be directed towards the still-soft sections of the hull. Within thirty seconds, that section of hull would start groaning, and the opaque, soft hexagons would turn jet black and harden into a tough, metal-like material. An Insectoid cruiser that was 360 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 120 meters tall would have its entire hull constructed and enclosed in forty-two hours.
An alert popped up on his HUD that it was time to insert another energy pack into the shrouding system that camouflaged his team and prevented detection.

2024.05.10 03:37 Disastrous_Gap_4711 How do I convert this customer from POC to full consulting program?
Hi all,
I’m in tech professional services, selling a modernization program to a scale up customer.
We started work with the customer on an assessment that was due to lead to an $800k program of work. Halfway through the assessment, they fired the VP who was our champion and brought in a new guy. The new guy wanted us to pump the brakes and leave, but I managed to talk him off the ledge and he has said he’s open to us doing some small piece of work to prove our value. He’s told us there’s no appetite for working with partners because they’ve been burned several times in the past and he’s said it’s a very hard sell to the board to get much money for us before proving ourselves. I feel this forces us down the path of doing a small $50k POC work effort to build business value and prove our value, then hopefully getting the full $800k program of work back on track after. He said he’s open to the POC and I’m not sure we have another option. I’m concerned that doing a standalone POC is a mistake and I should try and roll it into the $800k program so that if we prove our value, we can roll straight into the program. I’ve invested a lot in this deal emotionally, I want it to go right and I’m experiencing some anxiety in coming to a decision.
I’d like to win the $800k program.
The first step I’m thinking is to do the POC, get our best guys on it and deliver what the customer wants. Throughout that process I’m going to spend time each week, ensuring we are doing weekly demos, sharing progress updates with the new leader, providing updates that feed the business case for the full program. Then throughout the process, scope the other elements that will be part of the full program. From there, I’ll go back with a full proposal for the next phase.
Hopefully, through doing the POC and showing value, we can win the $800k program.
What do others think? What am I missing here?

2024.05.09 10:04 Timely-Badger-6970 What is the average size of the penis?
 | From hushed locker room chats to cringe-worthy jokes whispered behind closed doors, it seems like everyone has an opinion when it comes to penis size. But you know what? It's high time we peeled back the layers of misinformation and got down to brass tacks. It's time to separate fact from fiction and dive headfirst into the realm of reality. So, grab your magnifying glass and buckle up, because we're about to embark on a journey to uncover what's truly average and what's not when it comes to the size of the male member. submitted by Timely-Badger-6970 to u/Timely-Badger-6970 [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/mfdyyo3kyczc1.jpg?width=4500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83af20c1cb108115efefc92fbbf92a08952deea2 What's the Deal with Average Size? Alright, so let's dive into the nitty-gritty – what's the deal with the average size down there? You might be surprised to learn that the numbers vary quite a bit. According to some fancy studies published in the British Journal of Urology International, here's the lowdown: when it's just hanging out, the average length of a penis is around 3.61 inches. But when it's all excited and standing at attention, it's roughly 5.16 inches long. And let's not forget about girth – the average circumference when it's all pumped up is about 4.59 inches. But hey, let's not get too caught up in the numbers – after all, these are just averages. There's a whole rainbow of sizes out there, and they're all normal. So, whether you're packing a little extra or keeping it modest, embrace what you've got and own it like a boss! Busting Myths Left, Right, and Centre: Now, let's dive deep and debunk some of those pesky myths that have been circulating for far too long, shall we? First on the chopping block is the age-old belief that bigger automatically means better in the bedroom. Well, let me set the record straight – size ain't everything. It's not about the inches, but about how you wield what you've got. Studies have shown time and time again that when it comes to getting down and dirty, it's all about technique, communication, and connection. Yup, you heard me right – it's not about the size of the ship, but the motion of the ocean. So, let's put an end to the obsession with size and focus on what truly matters – making meaningful connections and enjoying pleasurable experiences together. And while we're on the topic, let's address another persistent misconception – the idea that race or ethnicity determines penis size. Well, let me tell you, that couldn't be further from the truth. Your heritage has little to do with what you're packing down there – it's all about genetics and a sprinkle of environmental factors. So, let's kick that tired old stereotype to the curb once and for all and embrace the beautiful diversity of sizes out there. Whether you're black, white, or somewhere in between, there's a whole rainbow of sizes waiting to be celebrated. It's time to break free from the shackles of outdated stereotypes and celebrate the uniqueness of every individual, regardless of their background or heritage. Celebrating the Diverse Beauty of Penile Anatomy: Now, let's delve into the exhilarating realm of celebrating the wondrous diversity of penile anatomy. Picture this – just like snowflakes, no two penises are identical. They boast an array of shapes, sizes, and hues, each one as unique as the individual it belongs to. From the majestic curve to the stout girth, and every hue in between, there's a dazzling array waiting to be admired. And you know what? That's something to be celebrated, not shamed. Whether you're a grower or a shower, it's high time to embrace what you've got and flaunt it with confidence. After all, variety is the spice of life, and our differences are what make us truly fascinating. So, let's raise a glass to the magnificent tapestry of penile diversity and revel in the beauty of every shape, size, and shade. It's time to own your unique attributes and strut your stuff like the boss you are! So, What's the Bottom Line? Alright, let's get real – penis size varies as much as the people on a dating site. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to what's normal, so let's toss out the comparisons and embrace our individual attributes. By championing body positivity and acceptance, we can foster a community where everyone feels confident and comfortable in their own skin – regardless of size. So, here's to celebrating diversity, debunking those myths, and embracing what makes us all unique. Cheers to that! |

2024.05.08 17:28 ExposeMyColorado Colorado - 2500 sq. ft. Basement Slab Concrete Cost
 | We have a new house. 2500 square foot walk-out basement non-structural slab was poured in the rain last spring and then rained on for days. It is completely chalky on top - plenty hard - but, a mess. Builder agrees it needs to be demo'd, concrete removed up a 20 degree incline up the 100 foot side of the house, and re-poured - which will take a pump. Anyone in Colorado that has some idea of what this would cost? We are in negotiations with the builder and we need some idea of what they would be paying to have this redone. Thank you so much. submitted by ExposeMyColorado to Concrete [link] [comments] Under the stairs - this is how the entire slab looks. |
2024.05.08 14:45 InTheSkyCity 5/6/24: “I'm just here to get paid.” / You’re not who you think you are.
“I'm just here to get paid. I'm just here to get paid. I'm just here to get paid. I'm just here to get paid. I'm just here to get paid. I'm just here to get paid. I'm just here to get paid. I'm just here to get paid.”
“Come with me, I got booze and that drip misting. Cut Wock' and the cost is fifteen. Life flew past too fast. Old stomach is the new ass. He can't afford you, that's too bad. Told her what you gon' do with a durag? Fuck the lame, do you write down the names? You was stuck, run in place. You ain't runnin' with the strays no more. Roxanne, you don't havе to put on. Yeah, I got that shit on. Give me somethin' to spit on. Roxanne, you don't have to race after the red light. I got that pump, but it's off on the headlights. Fuck the lame, do you write and your girlfriend think I'm dope? Really? Thanks. Dark skin ngga only shootin' Billy Blanks.”
I started the day by waking up randomly in my room. I was fucking scared once I thought that I slept past my alarm. Turns out I woke up an hour early. Don’t even remember the last time I woke up at 4 AM. Didn’t catch any sleep after that because I wasn’t going to risk missing my alarm.
I was fully rested though, which isn’t a surprise. Who would’ve thought that you sleep much easier if you’re tired as fuck? Definitely don’t have any problems going to sleep whenever I’m working multiple days.
My uncle picked me up at 5:30 AM. We started getting the set up for the room ready. We still had quite a lot of time to wait until we could get the food out. One of my bosses or the client fucked is over since the buffet was actually at 9 AM instead of 8. So we came to work an hour earlier than it was needed.
It didn’t help that the client was very picky, she kept asking for things that we should have been made aware of ahead of time. She kept switching the set up. So we kept moving and adding tables. If you thank me when you’re not even looking at me, I know you don’t mean that shit.
Anyways, the breakfast part went alright. Some of the food was burnt due to the fact they fucked up the time, but whatever. A lot of people were confused with the difference between turkey and pork sausages. I mean the ones that aren’t juicy and greasy are probably the ones that aren’t turkey. I know this host was cheap once I saw that they’ll be having their guests eat the same damn food for two days straight lmao. People really don’t have any shame.
Luckily there wasn’t much for my uncle and I to do today besides get the lunch ready for later, and to clean up the room whenever the group is in a break. But damn, they just loved to talk for hours. It didn’t help that my uncle and I weren’t able to clean up that well since they started having their meeting before everyone finished up. It wasn’t until I started working here that I realized how slow people can be when it comes to eating. Also annoys the hell out of me when people make an entire plate and proceed to eat so little of it, what a waste of food.
The lunch was a bit of a shitshow. Not only did the host mess up all the orders, she had us order extra food. So I’m in the middle of serving food and cleaning up plates from those who finished. And my new supervisor is trying to get my damn attention while I’m in the middle of doing my job. He was trying to get my attention over a microphone. Where was the microphone? Not even a minute after he was asking, I saw that I was in the microphone stand.
He even gets in my way at some point, I told his ass that I have to do my job. He was pissing me off because he was just standing there instead of helping us which is what he is supposed to be doing. And this guy is the same fucker I was writing about the other week when he didn’t stand up for us, so I already don’t have a good impression on his ass.
This dumbass even told us that vegetarian plates vegan, which wasn’t true since I talked with the chef because I didn’t trust what this guy was saying. It fucked us up if I didn’t let my uncle and others know in time since we would’ve served vegans the wrong fucking food.
Once we stopped serving food and had to leave the room since the meeting was starting. He started talking about how I shouldn’t talk to him like I did because he’s my boss. I laughed a bit, I wasn’t taking it seriously. Why? Because I don’t take him seriously. Pulling rank when he just started working here a few weeks. He’s sloppy, he’s not useful to have around, he’s slow, he’s not a leader one bit, and he clearly has no experience working in this kind of environment. Shit, I probably earn more than he does, made $43 an hour my last paycheck. Just because he’s a superior to me doesn’t mean that I should have respect for him.
Respect is earned, it’s not handed. He asked if we were cool, I said sure. If he continues to be a bitch to work with then I might have to seriously consider leaving. I would’ve been gone by now if this guy had been our supervisor for the past few years. If he just lets me do my job and leave us alone, that would probably work for all of us. He isn’t built for this environment.
The group then had another break, my uncle and I finished cleaning up the rest of the plates from Lunch. The host was upset that I was pulling away the coffee, I told her that the coffee was only for Lunch. I’m not going to be providing free coffee. She then talks about how the panelists didn’t get a chance to eat lunch yet, which annoyed me. This is the kind of shit that should be known ahead of time. So we had to get kitchen to get some food ready, they weren’t happy.
I helped out my uncle a bit more and he told me that I could head home if I want since my brother was about to come in. He was going to have to work with the same group for dinner. I threw away all the trash we had to the dumpster before clocking out. Caught my brother on his way in to work, told him to have some good luck since he’s gonna need it. Then I clocked out.
Saw this homeless dude with his ass crack all out in the open as I was getting off my bus stop. Like it was so bad that I even considered calling the cops. Once I thought about how long I’d have to wait for them to show up, I changed my mind quick. Also there’s always the possibility that the police would’ve pulled a Derek Chauvin so maybe it was best that I didn’t. Although, the safest my neighborhood ever was when the National Guard was sent over here, never seen the street that quiet in my life. AR-15’s would do that.
Once I got home, I started talking to my father about how work went for me. He misses being able to work, he loved it. He really lived for it. It’s a damn shame how I was never able to work alongside him. I was so close to doing so too. He did agree that my new supervisor is a bit of an ass though.
I made sure to get some rest though, these past three days have been catching up to me. Watched Game 2 of the Timberwolves and Nuggets, god, the Timberwolves are an amazing team. I’m going to have to end up buying jerseys for this starting 5, I already know they’re all gonna end up getting their jerseys retired when it’s all said and done.
Song Of The Day: ¥$- PAID (ft. Net N’ Yahoo)
I hate how this song has grown on me. Having great production does that to me.
Looking Back on 5/6/23: “You were from my past life, hope you're doing well, bruh.”
I feel like I was able to make peace with most of the shit that happened in my past following the breakup. I needed to do some soul searching myself as well. I was holding myself back by not forgiving those around me and myself even.
I didn’t even know that there was even a demo for Nights. I had already used the song before in my journals, so I checked to see if there was a demo. I’m glad I found that there was one, love the vibes from the demo. Also thought it would’ve been fitting for the entry.

It is a Greenhouse framework (HW & SW).
The purpose is to provide the people an automated greenhouse that people could setup, monitor and control their crops with a low budget environment.
Sounds boring? Maybe at first glance but lets see the benefits:
First it would be the Learning process as it applies many different technologies as:
Third, the technologies and methodologies above to develop this product applies for many areas:
Who knows, we start with a Greenhouse and later we move to a rocket!
Despite it is partly mandatory to have some HW, it is not expensive between 5-20 euros you have all the eval boards required, also not required for all the areas and probably could be deployed a test bench, for the full stack applications in order to interact with the HW and with OTA could be reflased the firmware.
Long post for now, hope you are interested, feel free to ask. I ll try to answer as soon as possible and if you want to speak deeper on the topic we can have a call!
Located in CET and speaking several languages (english,german,spanish).
First post here, please be kind! :)

[INTRO]
Hello everybody,I am looking for people with motivation and free time to get involved on a project and enjoy developing. I have dedicated many hours and developed a working starting point but too many things to control that I need some help!!!
What it is about?
It is a Greenhouse framework (HW & SW).
The purpose is to provide the people an automated greenhouse that people could setup, monitor and control their crops with a low budget environment.
Sounds boring? Maybe at first glance but lets see the benefits:
First it would be the Learning process as it applies many different technologies as:
- Microcontroller development SW and HW in C with RTOS or OSAL from different vendors (Esspresif,AI Thinker,ST)
- Sensors and actuators configuration as water pumps, lights, heating system, humidity, temperature sensors, etc.
- Machine learning and AI from the data gathered to take decissions.
- Communication protocols for Bluetooth BLE and WIFI using MQTT/HTTP.
- Over The Air flashing
- Full Stack app with MEAN or other setup.
- CI/CD environemnt with Git as CVS and Gitlab/Jenkins with Docker or Kubernetes for CI/CD
Third, the technologies and methodologies above to develop this product applies for many areas:
- SW development for different vendors in C and using OS frameworks as RTOS and communication protocols (BLE-Stack,I2C,SPI,ADC,GPIOs..)
- HW development for embedded devices and case and body design
- Web or Full Stack development
- CI/CD development
- AI focusing on Machine Learning
- And much more! Imagination is your limit!
Who knows, we start with a Greenhouse and later we move to a rocket!
Despite it is partly mandatory to have some HW, it is not expensive between 5-20 euros you have all the eval boards required, also not required for all the areas and probably could be deployed a test bench, for the full stack applications in order to interact with the HW and with OTA could be reflased the firmware.

2024.05.06 06:04 Needles_214 Small Industrial Power Unit C0.5 or 0.7
Hi All,
My company manufacturers synthetic lubricants for commercial diesel applications and I need help with a small industrial power unit. My customers run fleets of trucks, heavy equipment, trash trucks, generators, etc. When talking with someone new, the biggest hurdle is getting them to do some testing to see the product works as claimed. They don't want to mess up their equipment.
I wanted to build something that can be shipped to customers so they can run their fuel and use our product. I was thinking something in the size of C0.5 or C0.7 in size but for the life of me I can not find one on fair enough condition on the used market. The local cat dealer says he will get me a price but it has been a few weeks. Not returning my calls either.
I am a machinist as well as an electrical engineer. I can build and wire anything needed but would prefer to get something off the shelf. Where can I buy something that is a complete package, in that size engine that has some kind of load on it? It could be a pump, genset, condenser, etc so I can demo some product? I would like it to use these size engines to keep shipping costs down.
I looked at Truck APU, have yet to find one that is using a Cat engine that is not falling apart.
I got the idea from watching this

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

2024.05.04 18:06 Lumpy-Cantaloupe1439 Best medicine/supplements to cambat mental ED and depression/anxiety.
Hi guys. 23 year old male, 5’8” 160lbs. Been dealing with erectile dysfunction for 4 years now (started at 19 years old).
I have gone to countless doctors throughout this years. I have gone to 3 urologists, I got scammed 5400 for shockwave therapy, and like 10 different visits between 3 clinics including a mens clinic.
Every doctor that has evaded me has said that I’m good physically. All lipid and hormonal panels have come out fine. Most recently I did an Doppler ultrasound to see if there was an issue with my penile arteries. Urologists showed me the ultrasound while he was doing it and he said my levels could not be more perfect. He showed both arteries pumping. And the ultrasound the waves were perfect. He said there’s no issue physically and that it’s all mental.
He told me to try a low dose of antidepressants, I told him I’m scared because antidepressants give you ED but he said it’s not true and he prescribed them all the time. This was the 3rd visit with this urologist.
It’s the second time I hear the antidepressant opinion, first time was a GP who told me to take fluoxetine. The urologist didn’t prescribe me any but in a podcast he mentioned he usually prescribed sertaline (I think that’s how you spell it).
I am too scared of antidepressants. There is a subreddit dedicated to permanent sexual dysfunction from antidepressants called pssd. But I just don’t know what else to do. I feel like I’m running in circles. These last 4 years have brought the most pain I’ve ever experienced, I haven’t woken up a day without wanting to kill myself due to this disease. This ED has taken my life away. I want to enjoy life but it’s impossible.
Things that I have tried are: clomid 50mg, taldalafil 5mg daily and 20mg as needed, sildenafil 50mg and 100mg, zinc 50mg, vitamin E, Viramin D, L-Cirruline 1200 mg, triple omega, ashwaganda, iron, magnesium, vitamin b12. Nothing has worked.
To clarify, my issue isn’t just performance anxiety. I cannot get hard alone, I cannot get hard to porn or imagination. My penis is completely dead.
I’ve heard buspar and Wellbutrin are good options but wanted to hear more.
