Alright, hello everyone, welcome to this post. Bless the Machine God and his work.
Basically, I am confused by things in the Cybernetica Datasmith Datasheet's 'Leader' section. It states I can attach two Datasmiths to the same Kastellan unit. Now, I wonder: if I activate separate Battle Protocols with both Datasmiths, do I get both buffs? How is this determined?

I know it's a quite controversial topic right now, but I would like to find a trustworthy prop firm that I know will give me my payments and also have a good platform in the United States. I'm a very cautious person and before getting into something, I really research and inform myself, so what does the Reddit community think about this? Please help.

Rebecca Kathleen Reid (Becky) was a 37 year old wife to Dearld Reid and their son was 13 years old in 1997. She had been a graduate of Thurston High School and was described as bubbly and outgoing.
To make ends meet Becky worked at a gas station located on Highway 99 in Eugene Oregon. At the time the name of the gas station was the Grocery Cart, and Becky was a manager there.
On January 27th (Superbowl Sunday)at around 1a.m. Becky was doing her closing routine. Probably sweeping and mopping and about to possibly count down her till. From piecing together a couple different descriptions there was either one witness in the store, or a witness just outside the store collecting beer bottles (or possibly both?) that witnessed a man abduct Becky from the store at knifepoint and force her into his vehicle where he drove off with her. She has never been seen again. There is a sketch of the suspect in The Charley Project link.
The suspect was described as a white male late 20s to mid 30s, 5 ft 9 and 165-185 lbs. In 1997 he had shoulder length brown hair and a mustache with face stubble. His vehicle is described as a 70's or early 80s compact or midsize pickup truck with a white canopy. The truck itself was white or light in color and there was a horizontal stripe about 8 inches wide on the driver side door. It was not an extended cab. Neither the suspect or the vehicle were ever truly identified or found.
A month after Becky disappeared a man attempted to abduct another woman from a nearby grocery store at knife point. That woman escaped and a suspect was captured and arrested but when investigators tried to link that man with Reid's case they could not. So he was never named as a suspect.
Dearld Reid was cleared fairly early on. He and his son and the rest of Becky's family like her sister Chris watched days of Rebecca missing turn from days to weeks to months. With no answers after all this time.
Authorities believe the man was attempting to rob the store at the time that he abducted Becky. But I haven't found any information on whether he actually robbed the place. And if so why take Becky? Could she identify him? Was it someone she knew? Or was abducting a woman more of the motive than robbery?
This case puts me in mind of a couple others across the United States where women are abducted from their late night gas station jobs. I myself worked the same type of jobs in my early 20's.
Besides the fact that Becky was walked out at knife point I have not heard a lot of description of what the eyewitnesses saw just prior to the abduction.
I'm sure Becky's son still wants answers. Someone stole his mother away in 1997 and whatever the motive it robbed a family of a wife, mother, sister, and daughter.

The Eugene Police Department is investigating at 541-682-8888 or 541-682-5835 as well as the FBI at 202-324-3000.

FP columnist Michael Hirsh describes Washington’s “pundit industrial complex” as embracing the rhetoric and policies of a new cold war, even as China’s supposed ideological challenge to Western hegemony wanes. “Why is there so little debate on what should be, at the very least, a controversial issue?” Hirsh asks, before outlining why he believes the threat China poses to the United States has been exaggerated.

I don't have much experience dealing with car dealerships, so I was just wondering if there is any possible recourse of action following deal gone bad after signing the paperwork and providing the check for the sale of the car.
Last weekend (5/6) I traveled to my Mazda dealership to look at a used 07 RX 350. The car looked great and ran well during the test drive, however it was immediately noticed that the car AC did not work. Besides that, the price and the milage on the car were very appealing despite the lack of AC. After the test drive, I mentioned to the car salesman that we like the car but can't go through with the deal with the car in the current condition.
The salesman agreed, and said that dealership will diagnose the problem with the AC and get back to see if they could fix the problem in order to finalize a deal. The salesman mentioned that these older used cars can often times be losses to a dealership, and it was clear he wanted to sell this car or else it may have to go to auction in it's current state. After a couple of days, the salesman contacts us and mentions that the AC isn't working claiming it was because of some part of the AC compressor.
However, the dealership was willing to replace the entire compressor on the RX 350, if we decided to buy the car (they were not going to fix it unless we agreed that we would buy the car). Perhaps foolishly, I agreed to this contingency and proceeded to sign the paperwork and buy the car that day with a check. The contract did clearly state that Mazda would sell the car to me once the AC was fixed. The plan was to come back on the following Wednesday after the replacement AC compressor was put in and grab the car.
Fast forward to the Wednesday...nothing from the dealership. I call the dealership, and hear from some associate that AC unit was in-fact replaced on the car, however the AC is still not working. The dealership is now claiming that the car's 'heater core' is now the issue. Because of this, the dealership was now backing out of the deal because they didn't want to replace another Lexus part of an almost 20 year old car.
They have already cashed the check I have given them, and I am still waiting for a call back from the dealer (as of 5/14) to tell me to pick up a new check for the full amount of the car. I don't like that right now I don't have a car or the money that I paid for the car either.
I am just wondering If there any possible recourse for a breach in contract, or if this is standard for oldeused cars being sold at dealerships?

I live in a pretty religious area of the southern United States and there is a church or mosque every couple of blocks. From what I have heard, at any of these churches you can walk in on any Sunday and sit and hear a sermon of the respective gospel of that church. At some point you'll be asked to make a donation. Sometimes they pause the service to raise money for someone who needs help. People chat in the lobby with their friends.
It's honestly something that I am jealous of as an atheist. I could easily imagine the same building, but instead of being devoted to a religious sermon, a astrophysicist or evolutionary biologist could give an hour-long lecture based on either discoveries of their field or a laypersons review of a scientific theory, like the Big Bang. Do you know if anything like this has been tried before?
Before you say, "what about public schools and universities?" those schools are not as accessible as churches. Even for taxpayer-funded public K-12 education, you must be of the correct age and zoned for that school. I just think we would be better off as a society if every Sunday we spent an hour or two learning about our world or hearing a lecture on philosophy.

I love AI and I want to get into a school where I could go into research. I don’t really care about money tbh and I also really don’t want a job. My grades are a bit ass, especially from 9th 10th and 11th grade math and I got an 82% in grade 12 precalc and a 78% in grade 12 calculus but that’s because I was stupid then and didn’t do my homework and didn’t take tests seriously. However, to make up for it I’ve been writing some papers about ethics on AI and I’m currently in the midst of creating my own course teaching machine learning and math (Up to linear algebra for now but hopefully I could extend the course to higher level grad math if I have time). Plus I’m also working on an invention too that could significantly improve LLMs. On top of that I accidentally founded a club in school and I have a few certificates in programming and data science. My parents are pressuring me to find a university and originally I wanted to go to the states but they won’t let me till I finish my undergrad. I could try taking the SAT or smthing to prove that I actually know math but I don’t think Ontario schools care. Where can I go?

I don't mean to be beating a dead horse with this topic but I haven't seen this point explicitly mentioned yet. So many "it's a comedy podcast" posts and made me want to mention this.
It isn't Taylors beliefs that bother me or disrupt the podcast, it is that the fact that comedy stops at his beliefs. He isn't like Bill Burr or someone who can joke about both sides of a hot issue on an actual comedy podcast.
A couple recent examples; selling your soul discussion and abortion discussion. Both times I remember Kyle and Woody continuing the discussion by stating their beliefs but still keeping it somewhat funny.
The selling your soul discussion was so bad because Kyle and Woody were laughing and having a good time and Taylor was acting like he was in front of a priest that he didn't want to disappoint. Saying things like "hell no", there wasn't a lot (if any) jokes coming from him. He acted like Kyle when Woody defended wings and said to Kyle "maybe they should send things to your house" lol.
In the abortion/pro-life discussion, Woody downright joked that abortions were "fun"; I suppose some may find that funny or not but what definitely isn't funny or comedic is to just act uncomfortable and say "no it's not" awkwardly. Woody's bit was an attempt at humor (maybe a failed one) and Taylor's response was just serious, not comedic.
Maybe people will say there are things you just shouldn't joke about. I definitely don't agree, it used to be RSK country out here.
Also the whole 16 year old marriage discussion wasn't funny either. It had a serious, not so comedic, tone about it. Later in that PKN Taylor tried to pivot topics stating literally "we have been talking about more serious stuff for the majority of the podcast".
To those that say it is a comedy podcast, it obviously isn't entirely a comedic podcast anymore. I'd say 50% comedy, 30% media reviews, 20% politics. If it was a comedy podcast you would definitely be able to joke against others beliefs while having a joke at the expense of your own (something that ironically Woody, perhaps the least witty or funny of them all, does very well).
All in all I generally love the podcast, wish Taylor didn't act like a he was in church when a ridiculous and completely hypothetical topic like selling your souls to a demon or having a "demon" as a guest comes up.

I am applying for a DEA number for the first time. What is going on with these application questions?
I don't understand why they would say "not less than 8 hours" when they can say "more than 8 hours"
"during the 5-year period immediately preceding the date on which you first submitted a registration or renewal and the curriculum included not less than 8 hours of training?" = within the last 5 years of applying and received more than 8 hours of training
This is how I would answer, but I may be wrong

1. No, I don't have any additional training, haven't passed the NP exam yet.
2. Yes, I just graduated.
3. No. i have no additional training besides my MSN degree.

I'm just annoyed by the wording of this application. why make it so confusing?

1. Do you hold a board certification in addiction psychiatry or addiction medicine from one of the following associations; American Board of Medical Specialties, American Board of Addiction Medicine, American Osteopathic Association? Yes No
   
2. Have you graduated, in good standing, from an accredited school of allopathic medicine, osteopathic medicine, dental surgery, dental medicine, physician assistant, or advanced practice nursing in the United States during the 5-year period immediately preceding the date on which you first submitted a registration or renewal and the curriculum included not less than 8 hours of training?***

i emailed this to agencies that deal with hunting and wildlife problems
pasts@varam.gov.lv
info@wildlifesos.org
reportmisconduct@undp.org
there is no obvious place to report this and expect a serious hearing from someone fluent in English and scientifically minded
the following is what I wrote a month ago after the event
i can't judge after hand how much danger i was in but i would treat it seriously
luckily has not happened again in this country for a month. hopefully never happens again. although the next time i will have the benefit of having experienced it already
when police arrived i demanded prison for the dog owner in clearest possible way i could. after my speach was done they did not ask me a single word. they could tell i was furious of fear. and better to talk another time. i am so drained from global security work that i can't follow up on this but this should be available for anyone to read that might experience it themselves or take upon their self to wander around this globe as i do
i will probably feel guilty if the owner lose his dogs or hunting permit or reputation in his community. i am not going to judge anyone extremely harshly
if they ask me to fill out a criminal report according to some kind of format standards i am not going to do it myself an experienced prosecutor that has done it before is free to report this or pass it along. just not going to fill in report fields in some kind of form. you do it for me if you want to. i am not doing it. should be enough information to find
http://geohash.org/u6p4gj36
is the exact location and anyone can guess where the dogs came from probably the nearest mansion two thousand metres away to the east across p111 near upsede. upsede mansion. good luck asking them about it they don't speak a word of English here development is seventy years behind the west

preface

this is so incredulous that it could be picked up by news
still in shock six hours later at dawn
just the title should give you the general idea
i have never heard of such outrageous neglect in dog keeping in my life
the dogs escape unnoticed at night and hunt without human supervision and presumably return in the morning without anyone doing anything about it
this dog owner would make the top ten list anywhere in history
the dogs occasional howl brought up pictures of wolf movies the grey with that guy from Schindler's list the guy that played Oscar Schindler fighting with wolves with broken glass and a big knife to his death but i can safely discard all theories besides a runaway hunting dog militia on four legs in a large pack sounded like at least ten animals
in that immense fear of a completely unfamiliar situation in a life of hiking around the globe thoughts whirled around all possible night mares before i realised it is obviously hunting dogs all else is pure fantasy wolves are absolutely ruled out
they did not retreat when they sensed my presence but stayed in full alarm perhaps as when they encounter prey on a supervised hunt to alert the humans. even though they knew they were alone and no one to alert, they knew i was probably not prey, did not know enough to EVER be alone unsupervised anywhere but home preferably inside, but did NOT know or predict the length of the prison sentence they just brought on their owner by this nightly escapade. whoops
the locals will predictably put the lid on but the power of the internet is a wonderful thing
i can not imagine any circumstance that would make this less than prison anywhere in the union or West europe. now this is the old east. no one understands English etc. one escaped dog barking in the forest. fine. slap on the wrist. possibly losing care of the animal...ten rabid hunting dogs in full alarm scaring the life out of a hiker resting at night. shake those bars for three months. watch that prison television. and there won't be any Marlborough or beers in prison

the entire report

the exact location is near the highest hunting tower on the old railway trail passing by upsede north east of liepaja that is used for hunting commonly judging by all the towers lining the road there
This began around Four hours after dark on the early night of Sunday 28 April 2024 or exactly 1:00 o'clock
I will first describe exactly what happened and after that separately my interpretation in hindsight when recalling these events three hours later when I can calm down
This is a rather long story so I will get to my point right here before the story
What can I do if I encounter a dog pack like this again except tell at them and calmly leave. What if they hunt me or behave like they are guarding a territory. However remotely that might seems. There is a reason this is a serious crime. Too much uncertainty
Can you confirm that this kind of incessant barking is absolutely impossible in any other animal
In no circumstance whatsoever would any wolf pack or any deer flock behave like this even if I stood right on their den with ten kids inside
The occasional howling is something that dogs still retain from their wolf origin not long ago
It is not unlikely that a pack of hunting dogs alone would howl occasionally
Despite yelling at them several times there was no yell back from a human. Very likely the dogs escape at night without anyone caring about it extremely dangerous and frightening to a hiker that need. Rest at night not the fright of a life time
I could not imagine that in a relatively rich country anyone ever would drive their dogs for a night hunt. Would be absolute insanity. Neglect and alcoholism depression (försupen dumhet Swedish) I can easily imagine. Not outright insanity. Even if night hunting permits are sometimes issued in Germany for "animal control" "population control" of wild pigs. This is a completely separate topic that I will not say more about than that I am working on these issues on and off. My view as a progressive world ambassador could not be further from the idea of shooting at anything anywhere for any reason. Except tranquilizer darts for humane population control of CAPTURED animals not hunted. Captured. It is clear in Sweden that shooting anything anywhere with fire arms does not belong in the future society. Now this is all I will say about this. We are working on this as fast as is possible. The education effort still left on this planet is still enormous and daunting
Regarding dog behaviour in detail I know very little despite inspecting a manuscript by the foremost scientist on the subject that work in Budapest that is most famous for working on the Philippine paradise fish ten years ago before they changed to dogs and removed their aquarium
Dogs in particular have very little room in the professional literature since most pros are not anthropo centric. All mammals share common traits like an early recognition of friend and foe. Dogs in particular has almost never been studied at least not dogs for guarding or hunting. There might be one single work perhaps by one single biologist or behaviour ist ethology biology for shepherds dogs that life with grazing livestock
All books cover territory selection and protection and pack hunting or other flock behaviour. But almost nothing has apparently been possible or interesting to anyone to publish as a professional seeking a career in science in ethology animal behaviour or population biology. so i am not the only one drawing a blank when trying to explain the behaviour with any satisfaction more than anecdotal that is hard to call science

what I experienced

A sudden bark that I expect to be a roe deer that bark and run away. happens all the time
Although the bark was not quite right. more like a dog which I have never encountered at night
Suddenly a roaring festival of barking and occasional howling
The distance is extremely uncertain but perhaps five hundred meters
The direction was towards road p111 to the east toeards Upsede. i am by the big tower. There is one house near the road that the dogs could belong to if they crossed p111
Now my primal instinct set in and I envision a pack, a large pack, of wolves near their den the core of their territory. Frothing over my intrusion and ready to approach in full alarm
In hindsight this is just the occasional howling that caused this and everything about this speaks against wolves
IF wolves can behave like this or has been observed or heard doing this in ANY circumstance whatsoever I absolutely need to hear about it because it would bear on my future expeditions
If there is this single wolf dog hybrid pack maybe only one in Europe that I happened to encounter I absolutely need more information. feral dogs that would possibly go unnoticed in Belarus has crossed over to Latvia?
I have never heard of anything like that
All wolf incidents as rare as they are in Poland or anywhere have been with lone wolves that are sick or hungry and have lost their feir of humans
I have never heard of an aggressive wolf pack in Europe or anywhere on the planet
I have seen wolf droppings so many times and spent so much time day and night in wolf territory that I would never expect them to be so aggressive about human scent or sound like that
I have certainly had wolves near me many times but never heard a peep. In Sweden and Norway on long expeditions all summer and even winter and on and off for years from Spain to France Belgium Germany Poland and now here in the Baltics for one month so far direction Finland
The pack was in full alarm with barking and an occasional howl that dogs will still use. But much less than wolves. Wolves never bark together like this in any circumstance I have ever heard it seen if
It is with near certainty the pack of dogs that have hunted there before that happens to live on the farm on the opposite side of the road and escaped west around thousand metres into the forest.
Perhaps they do this regularly but no one cares
And now I happened to be there
Hiking and trekking and wild camping is MUCH more common in Sweden and Norway than anywhere in the world even Finland that is a close second. It is the Scandinavian spirit. As has recently been proven paleo lithic pre farming humans breed into the farming population only in Scandinavian nowhere else in Europe. I am personally absolutely at peace in nature and hate combustion engines that bother few others
Without getting off track completely I am continuing my expedition around Europe and almost all ground breaking record breaking endeavour of exploration has come from Scandinavia specifically. First settlement of the new world five hundred years before another European country etc etc etc first man on the south pole endless list of did what no one else could ot would. I am not placing my breed on a pedestal just explaining that if anyone would encounter something like this most likely it would be a Swede and the locals are most likely entirely puzzled why I am not living my life in doors at home or in a comfortable guest house
But this is beside the point just a side track to explain my presence in this rare encounter

in hindsight what happened

It is clear to me now that a pack of large hunting dogs. Not the small loud ones. Tax in Swedish. I have never owned a dog or hunted. I am a scientist. So I don't know much of anything about dog breeds. But presumably Large dogs that can hunt and kill on their own that have been trained to not kill the prey but only stalk it or drive it and make a loud alarm to draw the apes (not condescending just scientific classification of my species)
This is all speculation I just can't imagine what I heard to be a pack of tax (Swedish) small rabbit hunting dogs. These were large animals certainly with courage to act alone without humans
But I don't know anything about common hunting dogs in this region or anywhere so I can't suggest what breed it could have been that could behave this way
When I yelled at them they silenced for a moment then the roar continued
They had no intention to move back. I called for a police to meet me on road p111 and moved. I could hear the dogs for one thousand metres which gave me the impression that they moved after me at a safe distance perhaps curious about what I was
Again. If wolves can ever in any circumstance behave with this curiosity or aggressive confidence on human scent AND loud roaring. I yelled at them as a three hundred kilos silver back gorilla would try to show how big and powerful he was. No wolves ever no matter how big their biggest packs are in Europe would do anything but withdraw. These animals stayed at a distance and gave me the impression that they followed me on the road even. But not close
Distance is extremely uncertain but my best guess would be five hundred meters
This location has been used before for hunting and these dogs have been released during supervised legal (presumably) hunting in this exact location
They have smelled or sensed a wild animal and followed it into the forest where they have hunted before

will anyone stop this. how common is this

The police said they would call the nearest farms and ask about their dogs and the hunters that set up the hunting towers there in that old railway road where the dogs live that they bring to hunt there
But unfortunately I don't expect them to do anything when the response is "I know nothing". This is obviously a massive incident since I told them I am a scientist that will likely enquire with other scientist and if they cover this up it will explode big time. this is not s minor incident
Jägarna is a popular Swedish movie about the sad reality of this kind of stuff. anything related to mis management with hunting or dogs is so deeply rooted in human behaviour since the stone age that the local police do anything they can to forget about it. "Probably just a barking deer" or "wolves are common in the forest" and might bark despite my sincere explanation that this is hunting dogs not wolves and carries a prison sentence if heard in front of a magistrate
if you imagine "i like logic circuit design" the absolute opposite is "i like dogs and hunting". it's as different as a von Neumann machine is from sticks and stones in technological achievement. and a massive education effort is still needed for that population should they not cause a complete collapse of civilization like 1930s Germany. you might like NATURE you certainly don't like fire arms or dogs. has nothing to do with investigating nature. it is not conscious behaviour. but only photographers and hunters visit nature? you are obviously not a scientist ("what is this?" looking at bowling ball in small Lebowskis bath room. "you are obviously not a golfer")
I don't expect them to even ask anyone and just hope I forgot about it or they never have any other hikers near that spot at night
The "police report" that I received when they returned from the spot I told them to investigate was exactly that "it was probably just a deer and now I will go home and sleep". that only told ne that the pack had moved or did not respond to a car or they went to the wrong place or most likely could not be less motivated to find them
I gave the female officer that spoke English a stern explanation what would happen in Sweden. Prison. Absolutely nothing else than prison. Grave negligence in dog oversight. No hunting license and no dogs for the rest of his life
This is extremely serious that this is seen as a minor mistake that hunting dogs are stalking wild animals alone at night. Only in Sweden do we understand clearly that HUMANS are in the forest at night sometimes. We have palaeolithic blood lines and the world's foremost paleo biologist among other things. I am a renowned explorer. My father and uncle is one of the world's foremost wildlife photographer for WWF NG etc. Wild life is strictly monitored and controlled and this kind of neglect is absolutely treated with utmost sincerity
Our society is not in a state of civil war. Escaped hunting dogs hunting alone at night. Prison. Period. And the local police that tries to suppress it or treat it with a yawn will be investigated by internal affairs and released from service and prohibited from similar work with a responsibility to investigate seriously
We in sweden have the most aggressive policy in the world to combat this suppression of neglect related to hunting from the local community or any kind of coverup attempt or failure to investigate serious neglect, crime or not, we are not "paragraph riders" (paragraf ryttare) we investigate serious problems. anyone can understand how serious this is before digging after paragraphs

more about dog behaviour in general that might be relevant

Regarding dogs that hunt alone. I will not name any names but I have met a couple that lived in a remote valley in Portugal where their two large extremely aggressive dogs (even after ten minutes they were extremely uncomfortable with my presence and would not listen to their owner's calm regarding my encounter near their caravan on Canary islands) hunt together and bring home food. Literally drag it home to the family. Needless to say they have no kids and I will not say more about it more than the point that large dogs can easily on their own learn to hunt wild game. Possibly several breeds. They are still all close relatives of animals that do exactly that to survive. Guard territory identify intruder stalk and hunt prey is their basic behaviour anything else would result from actively counter acting instinctive behaviour that has become common to convert security staff patrol units and killers to social support animals because morons absolutely need to own a dog
Recall that in less developed countries like Chile dogs bark all night EVERYWHERE and run free in the day
I was in Chile for six months and never encountered dogs at night but had to suffer through the incessant noise if "guarding" at night. EVERYONE has night guard dogs. it is completely incomprehensible if you ever passed first grade with honours that they blindly follow a relict tradition for no other reason. Those dogs are GUARD dogs that have no experience of hunting ever. And when they encounter a human in the forest during their daily adventure they are never aggressive that far away from home
In western Europe outside Spain almost never dogs that bark all night. Same in Latvia. Two weeks in Lithuania don't think I ever heard a dog at night. A welcome serenity from Chile that I just arrived from after completing my record breaking expedition there

I have an external database and I want to serve data to pages from the database.
A similar example would be location data within this database. Imagine 500 locations. We want to be able to either serve a location from a Wordpress page or if the page doesn’t exist in WordPress serve out a template and client side in the page inject the appropriate JSON data in the page. We have it setup to inject the json data via client-side script.
Below is an example:
/locations/north-america/united-states/colorado/denve - if this page exists then there is likely custom content on the page and we want to serve out the page and insert the json data in the browser
Another Example:
/locations/north-america/united-states/colorado/colorado-springs/ - If this page doesn’t exist we want to treat it like a virtual page and generate the page from a template.
It’s important to note that SEO is important. I’ve been researching rewrite rules and permastruct. I’m not 100% sure that I know the direction to go and how to accomplish with a customization.
Another note:
The following pages may not exist, but we want to dynamically create them from different templates (the first using a country template and the second a city template):
/locations/north-america/canada
Or
/locations/north-america/canada/banff
We’ve tried investigating permastrcutres and rewrite rules. Not exactly the best approach to take.
