2024.05.14 18:04 Past_Horror2090 Prisoner

I was thinking of a fan-fic character that could make a callback to the Fearsome Womb Arc:
An inmate who witnessed the Cursed Womb (The uterus-like evolutionary stage of an immature cursed spirit) floating above the exercise yard.
Being one of the few who escaped during the commotion. Who starts to subconsciously generate more Cursed Energy due to this traumatic experience and the lingering negative emotions.
Now on the run from the law. He witnesses on the news, how the atrocious Shibuya Incident unfolds. Kenjaku who is in the midst of this chaos, ends up targeting and transfiguring the runaway who was born with enough innate talent to be able to see curses, but his brain was not meant to be a sorcerer. Just like Higuruma and Junpei
Now from being in a detention center, to running from the law; does the man find himself an involuntarily participant in the culling games.
He refuses to kill humans whether they are sorcerers or non-sorcerer, but has no qualms killing Cursed Spirit participants.
Perhaps his hesitation towards taking a human life is in part due to being remorseful over his past actions. Ultimately seeking renewal and redemption.
When Rule. 11 was added by Megumi Fushiguro that states “Players can leave the game by expending 100 points to invite a substitute into their colony.”
The man found his hope reignited, and would slaughter in total, twenty curses. Finally escaping the Culling Games.
Now as the story moves forward, there is a former prisoner who could turn over a new leaf and/or become an antihero.
Either as a sorcerer or lawful curse user.
Now as for his Cursed Techniques, there are a couple suggestions:
  1. Barrier generation/manipulation
  2. Cloning Technique similar to Bag Mask Curse User
  3. A technique similar to Kamui (Naruto)
Cursed Technique description:
  1. Think of Jester Garandros from BlackClover. Obviously he might not show as extreme feats as Jester, but principally have the same abilities.
How it could interact with the Culling Games barriers, what him trying to get out prematurely to the 11th rule would look like and how his CT could interact with DE I leave ambiguous. Some suggestions would help 🙏🏻
I think it could align with his personality and feeling of imprisonment. Both as a former inmate or philosophically as a person.
It would also allow for him to have a deep understanding of barrriers, reverse engineer barrier techniques and quickly learn fundamentals in Jujutsu as well as Anti-Domain techniques, akin to Hiromi Higuruma.
  1. A CT that works exactly like the Bag Mask Curse User from Hidden Inventory, but is explored to it’s full potential.
An extension technique could let the user clone things such as their mouths and arms, manifesting it on their body. The clones would share their vision and accumulated experiences. Allowing reconnaissance utility as well as enhanced learning. Several clones can boost and enhance one singular clone’s Jujutsu via hand signs and chants performed in tandem.
The CTR lets the user clone things other than themselves. It’s Maximum technique:
Maximum: Coalescence
combines his clones to form a more powerful version of himself. The more clones he combines, the stronger and more arrogant the created version of himself will be.
Not only to explore the cloning ability further would this be a good hypothetical CT
I also think that this could fit with the personality of a person who’s always been a loner. Doesn’t like relying on anyone but himself. Who recognizes that more of himself would allow him to fulfill his ambitions and that while in the detention center. He observed how prison in and of itself wasn’t so bad, but that the other inmates made life hellish. Often fantasizing of a prison where all the inmates was just him.
  1. An ability much like Kamui (Naruto), that has three functions:
It gives the user intangibility, can suck things into it’s pocket dimension as well as eject things out from his pocket dimension.
Turning intangible like Obito would have the same Cursed Energy expenditure as Todo’s Boogie Woogie. But Sucking and ejecting things from his Pocket Dimension would be heavily draining on his CE reserves.
This ability could reflect the inmates desire to traverse the walls and leave the detention center as well as align with a person who fells like a void. Unseen and empty.
Leave your thoughts below and thank you to anyone that read this far :3
Please help expand where you can.
Note:
For the techniques I’ve listed, I am not saying that he would achieve all possibilities listed such as CTR or a Maximum Technique. That is simply the potential applications of the CT itself.
Cheers!

2024.05.14 18:02 tr0ublematic First day of PSMF complete! 3 more to go

28F, 5'8", 176 lbs
So, after getting a BIA score of my body, I found out that I have not much fat on the surface, but there is a concerning level of visceral fat around my organs. I already work out 4 times a week and track my calories, making sure I eat enough proteins, but it seems that I might use some other means of getting into a healthy weight.
Therefore, I have decided to try PSMF: it looks like it will allow me to keep muscle mass while losing excess fat! Today is the first day, 3 more days ahead. Although I have eaten mostly protein and not more than 800 kcal, I feel really great and full of energy so far!
I heard that the second day is the hardest, so wish me luck :) And thank you for the community posts! I have gathered quite a motivation from them already.

2024.05.14 17:59 GreatestWaffle 94-96 YZF600R Fairings?

Hey everyone, been looking forever for an answer but can’t find ANYTHING. Been through forums, old links, even called Yamaha. I have a 1995 Yamaha YZF600R, and every piece of the body kit is gone. I want to restore it, but buying the 94-96 body parts will total to over 1500 and I’ll still have to repaint/restore them. But I can find thousands of full kits for the 1997-2007 fairings already perfect. My question is does anyone know if these fairings will fit the 94-96? They look almost identical, the only real difference I see is the headlight (which the previous owner already swapped before so I’m fine to swap it) and the tailpieces. Are the mounting holes still matched or any significant modification I’ll have to do to fit them? The bike even fixed is only worth about 2 grand TOPS so I don’t wanna waste too much on it.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAG Silver Corp. (TSX / NYSE American: MAG) (“MAG”, or the “Company”) announces the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (“Q1 2024”). For details of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (“Q1 2024 Financial Statements”) and management’s discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (“Q1 2024 MD&A”), please see the Company’s filings on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval Plus (“SEDAR+”) at ( www.sedarplus.ca ) or on the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) at ( www.sec.gov ).
All amounts herein are reported in $000s of United States dollars (“US$”) unless otherwise specified (C$ refers to Canadian dollars).
KEY HIGHLIGHTS (on a 100% basis unless otherwise noted)
  • MAG reported net income of $14,895 ($0.14 per share) driven by income from Juanicipio (equity accounted) of $19,244, and adjusted EBITDA 1 of $32,447 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
  • A total of 325,683 tonnes of ore at a silver head grade of 476 grams per tonne (“g/t”) (equivalent silver head grade 2 713 g/t), was processed at Juanicipio during Q1 2024.
  • Juanicipio achieved silver production and equivalent silver production 2 of 4.5 and 6.4 million ounces, respectively, during Q1 2024.
  • Juanicipio delivered robust cost performance with cash cost 1 of $2.50 per silver ounce sold ($8.66 per equivalent silver ounce sold 3 ), and all-in sustaining cost 1 of $6.11 per silver ounce sold ($11.22 per equivalent silver ounce sold 3 ) in Q1 2024.
  • Juanicipio generated strong operating cash flow of $42,521 and free cash flow 1 of $27,820 in the first quarter of 2024 after tax payments of $25,772.

  • MAG published its updated technical report on Juanicipio on March 27, 2024 outlining robust economics with an after tax NPV of $1.2 billion over an initial 13-year life of mine, generating annual average free cashflow exceeding $130 million. Mineral Resources increased by 33% from the 2017 PEA, with substantial growth in Measured and Indicated categories. Inferred resources also expanded, highlighting significant near-term, high-grade upside potential. An inaugural 15.4 million tonnes Mineral Reserve Estimate at 628 g/t silver equivalent grade was declared enhancing economic confidence. Extensive exploration upside remains, with only 5% of the property explored, indicating high potential for further discoveries.
  • MAG announced 2024 production and cost guidance with Juanicipio expected to produce between 14.3 million and 15.8 million silver ounces yielding between 13.2 million and 14.6 million payable silver ounces at all-in sustaining costs of between $9.50 and $10.50 per silver ounce sold.

EXPLORATION
  • Juanicipio:
    • Infill drilling at Juanicipio continued in Q1 2024 from underground aimed at upgrading mineralization in areas expected to be mined in the near to mid-term. During Q1 2024, 11,271 metres were drilled from underground.
    • Surface drilling focused on expanding and upgrading the deeper zones and broader regional exploration started in April 2024.
    • During 2024, Juanicipio plans to drill a total of 50,000 metres, with 33,000 metres from underground and 17,000 metres from surface.
  • Deer Trail Project, Utah:
    • On May 29, 2023 MAG started a Phase 3 drilling program focused on up to three porphyry “hub” target areas thought to be the source of the manto, skarn, epithermal mineralization and extensive alteration throughout the project area including that at the Deer Trail and Carissa zones. In late 2023 an early onset of winter snowfall impacted the commencement of the third porphyry “hub” target, which is now expected to be drilled in 2024. The two completed “hub” holes to date total 2,738 metres. Both holes intercepted alteration and mineralization in line with what is expected on the edges of porphyry systems. Follow-up drill targets are planned for summer 2024.
    • With the early onset of snowfall, Phase 4 drilling focussed on lower elevations commenced in the last quarter of 2023 and continued through Q1 2024, aimed at offsetting the Carissa discovery and testing other high-potential targets in the Deer Trail mine area. During Q1 2024, 1,208 metres were drilled at Carissa with results pending.
  • Larder Project, Ontario:
    • Drilling targeting Cheminis and Bear totalled 5,391 metres in Q1 2024. Targets tested include down plunge extension of the high-grade double knuckle at the Bear East zone and extending the Cheminis south mine sequence down plunge.
    • Cheminis Update: Follow-up drilling of the Cheminis South Cadillac-Larder Break (“CLD”) mine sequence down plunge is planned to test below the most recent intercepts. Hole GAT-24-026 intersected a new zone on the north side of the CLB within a fuchsite-silica-albite altered komatiite grading 3.9 g/t gold over 16 metres with 2 higher grade shoots associated with albite dykes (see Table 1 below).
    • Bear Update: Utilizing the updated model and incorporating the updated data from recent drilling, the Bear East zone was successfully extended down plunge by up to 1,100 metres depth. Hole GAT-24-024NB intersected gold mineralization on both sides of the CLB which confirms the presence of either another structural trap at depth or the continuation of the “double knuckle” zone at surface. Gold mineralization intersected on the north zone included 9.4 g/t gold over 2.2 metres within a strongly altered komatiite with syenite intrusions and 1.6 g/t gold over 4.2 metres on the south zone within the south iron-rich volcanics (see Table 1 below). Bear East remains open in all directions.

JUANICIPIO RESULTS
All results of Juanicipio in this section are on a 100% basis, unless otherwise noted.
Operating Performance
The following table and subsequent discussion provide a summary of the operating performance of Juanicipio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, unless otherwise noted.
https://preview.redd.it/9txq8snzze0d1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=0089cf57573e8834bdb641cf9e055619e6f6c5b2
(1) Equivalent silver head grades have been calculated using the following price assumptions to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver head grade: $23/oz silver, $1,950/oz gold, $0.95/lb lead and $1.15/lb zinc (Q1 2023: $21.85/oz silver, $1,775/oz gold, $0.915/lb lead and $1.30/lb zinc).
(2) Equivalent silver payable ounces have been calculated using realized price assumptions to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver payable ounces (metal quantity, multiplied by metal price, divided by silver price). Q1 2024 realized prices of $23.73/oz silver, $2,112.27/oz gold, $0.92/lb lead and $1.08/lb zinc (Q1 2023 realized prices of $22.93/oz silver, $1,959.50/oz gold, $0.94/lb lead and $1.43/lb zinc).
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 a total of 325,081 tonnes of ore were mined. This represents an increase of 45% over Q1 2023. Increases in mined tonnages at Juanicipio have been driven by the operational ramp up of the mine towards steady state targets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 a total of 325,683 tonnes of ore were processed through the Juanicipio plant; no ore was processed at the nearby Fresnillo and Saucito processing plants (100% owned by Fresnillo). This represents an increase of 47% over Q1 2023. The increase in milled tonnage has been driven by the Juanicipio mill commissioning and operational ramp up to nameplate capacity over the course of 2023.
The silver head grade and equivalent silver head grade for the ore processed in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 476 g/t and 713 g/t, respectively (three months ended March 31, 2023: 363 g/t and 530 g/t, respectively). Head grades in Q1 2023 were lower as low-grade commissioning stockpiles were processed through the Juanicipio plant. Silver metallurgical recovery during Q1 2024 was 89.1% (Q1 2023: 87.0%) reflecting ongoing optimizations in the processing plant.
The following table provides a summary of the total cash costs 5 and all-in sustaining costs 5 (“AISC”) of Juanicipio for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023.

________________________
5 Total cash costs, cash cost per ounce, cash cost per equivalent ounce, all-in sustaining costs, all-in sustaining cost per ounce, and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent ounce are non-IFRS measures, please see the “ Non-IFRS Measures ” section below and section 12 of the Q1 2024 MD&A for a detailed reconciliation of these measures to the Q1 2024 Financial Statements. Equivalent silver ounces sold have been calculated using realized price assumptions to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver ounces sold (metal quantity, multiplied by metal price, divided by silver price). Q1 2024 realized prices of $23.73/oz silver, $2,112.27/oz gold, $0.92/lb lead and $1.08/lb zinc (Q1 2023: $22.93/oz silver, $1,959.50/oz gold, $0.94/lb lead and $1.43/lb zinc).
Financial Results
The following table presents excerpts of the financial results of Juanicipio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
https://preview.redd.it/4zym5dqzze0d1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=d25c91cabc7f6c6b35ff61acacc0160f3dfac2e7
Sales increased by $72,207 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, mainly due to 179% higher metal volumes and 2% higher realized metal prices.
Offsetting higher sales was higher production cost ($9,409) which was driven by higher sales and operational ramp-up in mining and processing, including $3,545 in inventory movements, and higher depreciation ($14,083) as the Juanicipio mill achieved commercial production and commenced depreciating the processing facility and associated equipment in June 2023. Operating margin increased by 21% to 52%, mainly due to operational leverage and the lower reliance on the nearby Fresnillo and Saucito processing facilities.
Other expenses increased by $2,159 mainly as a result of higher extraordinary mining and other duties ($872) in relation to higher precious metal revenues from the sale of concentrates and higher consulting and administrative expenses ($2,690) as an operator services agreement became effective upon initiation of commercial production (the “Operator Services Agreement”), offset by lower exchange losses and other costs ($1,566).
Taxes increased by $20,980 impacted by higher taxable profits generated during Q1 2024, and non-cash deferred tax credits related to the commencement of use of plant and equipment in Q1 2023.
Ore Processed at Juanicipio Plant (100% basis)

(1) The underground mine was considered readied for its intended use on January 1, 2022, whereas the Juanicipio processing facility started commissioning and ramp-up activities in January 2023, achieving commercial production status on June 1, 2023.
(2) Includes toll milling costs from processing mineralized material at the Saucito and Fresnillo plants for Q1 2023.
Sales and treatment charges are recorded on a provisional basis and are adjusted based on final assay and pricing adjustments in accordance with the offtake contracts.
MAG FINANCIAL RESULTS – THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024
As at March 31, 2024, MAG had working capital of $72,833 (December 31, 2023: $67,262) including cash of $74,683 (December 31, 2023: $68,707) and no long-term debt. As well, as at March 31, 2024, Juanicipio had working capital of $107,088 including cash of $30,991 (MAG’s attributable share is 44%).
The Company’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $14,895 (March 31, 2023: $4,713) or $0.14/share (March 31, 2023: $0.05/share). MAG recorded its 44% income from equity accounted investment in Juanicipio of $19,244 (March 31, 2023: $7,919) which included MAG’s 44% share of net income from operations as well as loan interest earned on loans advanced to Juanicipio (see above for MAG’s share of income from its equity accounted investment in Juanicipio).

NON-IFRS MEASURES
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash cost per silver ounce of Juanicipio to production cost of Juanicipio on a 100% basis (the nearest IFRS measure) as presented in the notes to the Q1 2024 Financial Statements.
https://preview.redd.it/0jhh2stzze0d1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=c97634763bd00967ddd878bc09b8e069687fae68

2024.05.14 17:57 dogluvr91 Husband's capacity to help me deal with his family's sexism is very low.

A couple of years ago, I went with my now husband to the wedding of his dad's best friend's daughter (sorry for the mouthful).
We were engaged at the time, and a friend of his parents asked why we were taking so long to get married. She proceeded to say that it was probably because I was pushing for the marriage and my now husband was hesitant. I had never met her before.
When I hugged the father of the bride goodbye he ran his hand down the side of my body. A full 12 inches from my waist down past my hip. He didn't say sorry or acknowledge it at all.
Right before we got married my husband's parents gave us some money as a gift and then asked if we could go on a triple date with that man who had hugged me weirdly.
I asked in private with my now husband if I could just fake sick that day because he made me really uncomfortable and my husband said can't you just go for me.
We did a tiny bit of couples therapy and my husband said that these things that felt disrespectful are just how the north shore operates. People put their foots in their mouths. Old people are way too touchy feely. Like his aunt always rubs his knees and calls him handsome and he always is grossed out too.
He didn't really start saying things to his parents about stuff like the above until recently. I think when I told him I would love him forever and i didn't care what they thought I just wanted to know he'll protect me something switched in his brain.
But lately when I look in the mirror I see so much less light in my eyes than I did before all this went down. I don't know how to get over that he took so long to say something and how to get over how his family acted. We are the same religion but from different parts of town. He always says that's just how north shore X operates whenever they act without consideration.

2024.05.14 17:55 sparkly__trees Food for thought on flu vaccine

If you're reading this, I'm sorry you're here and going through this terrible "disease". I promise it gets better and it becomes more manageable. We tend to work our lives around this. Everyone is different and I'm just sharing part of my story that has recently come to light.
Now onto something that had recently come up at work (I work in healthcare) and some background information. I've been having a "flare up" of menieres and vestibular migraine symptoms, but have only truly been diagnosed with menieres. Prior to Covid, I had my symptoms under control and was able to eat whatever I wanted, but lived a generally healthy lifestyle. Also as someone that works in a major healthcare facility they have started mandating flu vaccines. I have always opted out of getting them until they started mandating us to get them yearly and a simple doctors note was no longer enough.
November 2021 I was given flu vaccine (normal vaccine) then in December 2021 I had my first infection of Covid 19. By January 2022 I was having a flare up of similar symptoms that I am having today. Symptoms ranging from severe vertigo (think drop attacks), slight dizziness, ringing in the ears, ear fullness, migraine, light sensitivity, and sound sensitivity. The drop attacks and any sort of vertigo would last seconds up to a minute at most. I was given a single IT steroid injection (that's what controls my MD). It didn't stop any of the vertigo I was having, but I simply would wait it out because back then I was worried that if I continued steroid injections they would one day not work at all for me. These symptoms would last till April-May 2022. Things would be under control after that.
July 2022- I get my second Covid infection and yet continued to have menieres symptoms under control.
November 2022, I decided to try to go vegan and vegetarian for awhile to see if I could eat healthier and improve some other health issues. I opted to get egg free flu vaccine. No issues and continued to have symptoms under control.
November 2023, I go to get flu vaccine and planned to get egg free version as I did previous year. I'm no longer eating vegan or vegetarian but have continued to eat a healthy lifestyle and work on just eating a balanced diet. The nurse decides to tell me I should get regular version of flu vaccine because egg free version actually has more "live" virus in it. So I take her advice and get the regular version as I did in 2021. By January 2024, my symptoms are back out of control. All the previous symptoms as I did in 2021 except I had also aura with migraine. February 2024, I received another single steroid IT injection. I also stopped hormonal birth control (due to having aura). Only thing resolved was aura and ear fullness.
It's now May and I feel my symptoms are finally starting to resolve once again. It've been over a week since I've had a drop attack. It's been 4 months since I've drove a car. I'm 4 sessions into physical therapy. Have had 1 perfect brain MRI. 3 failed migraine medications and 2 other medications I have not yet tried due to wanting to wait it out. My coworker decides to ask me about the flu vaccine and if I had it. She has severe vertigo from her flu vaccine (she doesn't have MD). This is how I have linked all this together. I will not be getting the flu vaccine anymore. I'm guessing it creates an uptick of inflammation in my body. 2025, I will fight to decline it and see if I have the same reaction next year.
We are all in charge of our health- we have to advocate for ourselves in what we feel is right for our own situation.
I'm not here to tell you to get it or not to. This is just my encounter with it. I'm not pro vaccine nor anti vaccine. I'm curious to know if anyone else here has a similar pattern of symptoms returning after vaccines or any medications? This is just some food for thought for those of you out there that are doing everything right but still not sure what's going on.

2024.05.14 17:52 altern8goodguy Trip insurance, what is actually needed and reasonable?

I have a 76 day total, 32,000 mile, trip planned including 3 cruises, 13 hotel/resorts, 14 flights, and 2 rental cars with a total cost of $57,000 USD (not including incidentals and excursions). We have 3 people. I can get medical only (with evac) for ~$600 total OR I can get full trip coverage for ~$2700.
The biggest (realistic) concerns are medical issues but of course we can have trip delays, cancellations, etc. I'd guess ~$30K are non-refundable bookings and the rest are at least partially refundable or fully so i don't feel like im really risking losing 60K maybe more like 20-40K.
I got quotes from CHUBB & Allianz and some ballpark estimates from a few others. Chubb is the best coverage for the cost but I'm still thinking the chance of needing to cancel the trip is quite low so am I just betting $2700 against a low odds max $30K payout? I mean if I was gambling or investing I'd see it this way (11:1 on a <10% chance best case) so why not look at it that way?
Realistically, apart from medical, the biggest issue I can see is missing flights that cause a chain reaction causing us to miss a cruise departure or something but have buffer days around them already. That would maybe be a max $12K payout (4.4:1 on a <10% chance)
It doesn't really seem like a good bet.
Please convince me that I SHOULD get full coverage and not just medical.

2024.05.14 17:48 Liquoricia Zoladex/chemical menopause 2 month update

For reference, I'm taking HRT - Estrodot 50 patches and continuous Slynd.
1 month update: https://www.reddit.com/PMDD/comments/1c65pvo/zoladexchemical_menopause_1_month_update/
After a great first month, the second month has been tough. Shortly after my second injection I started to feel really tired and achey. And then all my symptoms came back. I've had brain fog, low mood with some outbursts of rage, some tears, hot flushes and no enthusiasm or motivation for anything. It felt exactly like being in luteal, except according to my cycle tracker I shouldn't have been in luteal, and it felt like I was getting ready to bleed. Then the pain started and my period came. It was validating in a way as it confirmed to me that I know my body and I know when these hormones are F'ing me up.
I've been bleeding for about 10 days now. It's a light flow so that's something at least, but I'm not sure what's going on. I don't know if the second injection just didn't work (the nurse injecting said she hadn't done one for a long time and didn't seem to know what she was doing) or if this is to be expected at this stage of the treatment. I do know bleeding in the second month isn't normal so I will probably speak to my doctor about this if it doesn't stop soon. I also wonder if my HRT needs tweaking as I've been aching in places I didn't know it was possible to ache.
I've gained a bit of weight around my hips and thighs, but not around my waist or anywhere else. I assume this pattern is due to the HRT. And also because my diet hasn't been great while I've been so tired.
I started to feel better yesterday and I'm feeling more focused and with it today, so hopefully that's the end of the luteal-ness for a while.
I will say though that, apart from the level of achiness, the side effects have been no worse than the usual luteal phase stuff.
I have my third injection tomorrow. I'll update again at 3 months, which is the point at which my gynae said I should expect to feel the full benefits.

2024.05.14 17:45 SocraticSeaUrchin Mirrorless body + 35mm (or similar) fast prime recommendations under ~$1000 used

Hi, I posted a similar question but didn't get much traction so I thought I'd try again.
Budget is ~$1000 for now - this is for a body and 1 lens. Totally fine with used, just trying to maximize value per dollar. I'm wanting to start with a 35mm fast prime, or similar. Ideally the lens isn't too long because I would like to be able to slip it in a bag (or large coat pocket) easily.
Crop sensor or full frame are both fine but I figure for my budget it's gunna be crop. AF performance and low light performance is important to me, so IBIS probably is too, but not a deal breaker. No built in flash is also fine. Tilting or fully articulating screen is a nice to have, but not required. I take mostly street photography and portraits.
With so many offerings, the more research I do the more indecisive I get. If it helps, I love the styling of the Nikon Z FC, but the retro look isn't necessary. On the other hand, the Sony's are a bit ugly to me, but aesthetics isn't the primary goal here anyway. Performance and being relatively compact (mostly the lens - most bodies are decently compact it seems) are the primary considerations.
If I can provide any other useful details please let me know.

2024.05.14 17:43 PreferenceAsleep4021 Losing my mind

My SO is going to be the absolute death of me and I just need to rant because I’m losing it 😭
I’ll preface by saying that I’m chronically ill/have an autoimmune disease, this pregnancy is very high risk because of my health issues. I have two other kids and I’ve been staying home for 7 years, but I’m in college full time. This is his first baby and my third. He just doesn’t seem to understand the severity of the way pregnancy affects your body, especially when you’re already not in good physical health - no matter how I explain it.
This morning he told me because he knows of so many people who work full time jobs while they’re pregnant, that I shouldn’t be so useless and use it as an excuse all of the time. Which… I don’t. But before even being pregnant I couldn’t lift more than my toddler because of my health issues, so I’m definitely not doing it now. Meanwhile I do all of the housework/cleaning/laundry/shopping/my own schoolwork/taking care of my two kids 100% while he does…. Nothing. he quit his job 3 weeks ago and isn’t even working either!! Hasn’t looked for a new job. Im losing it here 😭 can anyone relate!? Why did I do this to myself??

2024.05.14 17:43 MajorPea Looking for the picture of a ghost girl from a very old chain e-mail

I'm struggling to find the image of a ghost girl that I first saw in a "resend X times or she will be sitting at your bed tonight" kind of e-mails from the early 2000s.
My recollection of the picture is hazy, but here are some pointers in case they help:
- It was a full body image, so it wasn't like these jumpscares where you just see the creature's face from up close.
- From what I remember, the girl wore a nightdress of a light color.
- The girl's entire form was an eerie bluish/greenish, and her eyes were lit up.
- I stumbled upon the image again a few years ago, and it might have been taken from a music album cover. Take this info with a grain of salt, though.
Thank you.

Tariffs Are Coming For Critical Minerals In US the deep dive

https://preview.redd.it/5sbc7i63te0d1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=62917af688d960caf78c1a132e39c9bab45c9094
US President Joe Biden recently unveiled a series of measures directed for an increase in tariffs on $18 billion worth of imports from China. This directive, made under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, is aimed “to protect American workers and businesses” from the adverse effects of “China’s unfair trade practices,” including technology transfer and intellectual property violations, as well as market flooding with artificially low-priced exports.
As part of this initiative, tariffs on critical minerals and components vital for the electric vehicle (EV) industry and clean energy sectors will see substantial hikes. Beginning in 2024, the tariff rate on lithium-ion EV batteries and battery parts will rise from 7.5% to 25%. By 2026, tariffs on lithium-ion non-EV batteries and natural graphite will also increase to 25%. Additionally, certain other critical minerals will face a tariff increase from zero to 25% starting in 2024.
These measures align with Biden’s broader economic strategy, encapsulated in the Investing in America agenda, which the White House has already boasted to have spurred “more than $860 billion in business investments” across future-focused industries such as EVs, clean energy, and semiconductors. This agenda is further supported by legislative frameworks like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act.
Currently, China dominates over 80% of specific segments in the EV battery supply chain, especially in critical minerals mining, processing, and refining. This concentration poses significant risks to U.S. supply chain resilience and national security, prompting the Biden administration to invest nearly $20 billion in grants and loans to expand domestic production capacity for advanced batteries and battery materials. The Inflation Reduction Act also offers tax credits to stimulate investments in U.S.-based battery production.
In connection, Biden has launched the American Battery Materials Initiative to secure a reliable supply chain for batteries and their components, employing a comprehensive governmental approach to build domestic industrial strength.
Some observers note that this law could further exacerbate the inflation situation. “Not only are we killing fossil fuel investment. But we’re making the green energy transition even more expensive,” said industry observer Brandon Beylo on X, adding to highlight that “the US doesn’t have domestic infrastructure to pick up the slack.”

MAY 14th, 2024,~TARIFFS ON CHINESE EVS, CRITICAL MINERALS

Biden Raises Tariffs On Chinese EVs, Critical Minerals (fordauthority.com)

Biden Raises Tariffs On Chinese EVs, Critical Minerals (fordauthority.com)In recent months, more than one Ford executive – including CEO Jim Farley himself – have expressed concerns about the possibility that cheap Chinese EVs may wind up making it to U.S. soil, flooding the market and making life quite difficult for domestic companies like The Blue Oval. While Ford continues to work on developing its own low-cost EV platform and consumers admit they’d be willing to buy Chinese EVs if they’re cheaper than American-made ones, many politicians are also calling for those vehicles to be banned from U.S. soil, and Mexico recently took steps to prevent that from happening, too. The Biden Administration has been mulling its options for months now, and has long been expected to at least raise tariffs on Chinese EVs – and now, that’s precisely what has happened.
https://preview.redd.it/8o18yufdte0d1.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&s=65e1f436eccdfb575be8ff3dce5787e6567d05bc
Additionally, the Biden Administration will also move to increase the tariff rate on EV batteries and the raw materials that are used in their construction. Lithium-ion batteries will get a tariff rate boost from 7.5 percent to 25 percent in 2024, while others will jump to 25 percent in 2026. Battery components will get an increase from 7.5 percent to 25 percent this year as well, while natural graphite and permanent magnets will increase from zero to 25 percent in 2026 and certain other critical minerals will go from zero to 25 percent in 2024.

Washington — is increasing tariffs on $18 billion in Chinese imports across a handful of sectors deemed strategic to national security – an attempt to cripple Beijing’s development of critical technologies and instead prioritize US production.
The increases will apply to imported steel and aluminum, legacy semiconductors, electric vehicles, battery components, critical minerals, solar cells, cranes and medical products. The new tariff rates – which range from 100% on electric vehicles, to 50% for solar components, to 25% for all other sectors – will take place over the next two years.
“China’s using the same playbook it has before to power its own growth at the expense of others,” said Lael Brainard, director of the White House National Economic Council. “China’s simply too big to play by its own rules.”
Biden’s predecessor, former President Donald Trump, enacted a sweeping tariff program on $300 billion in Chinese imports during his administration, drawing authority from a provision in US trade law that allows tariffs to be used to stifle competition that would threaten national security interests. That same trade law also requires the effectiveness of such tariff programs to be evaluated every four years, and the Biden administration decision is the result of that study. CNN previously reported on the forthcoming changes.
White House officials said they also redrew the parameters of the program to reflect the Biden administration’s policy priorities, most notably the transition to clean energy.
“China can’t be the only country that produces clean technology for the world we need,” a senior administration official said. “We need diversified, not concentrated, production of our most critical goods and technologies. … That’s the kind of dynamic we think will produce resilient supply chains and clean technology.”
Electric vehicles imported from China will see their tariffs more than quadrupled from 27.5% to 100% – a policy lever meant to challenge Beijing’s practice of encouraging aggressively low pricing by domestic EV manufacturers while levying a 40% tariff on US car imports. Chinese manufacturer BYD’s Seagull electric vehicle retails for roughly $10,000, a fraction of what rival American products cost.
“It was important to have a large enough step-up in the tariffs to ensure that we try to level the playing field,” a second senior administration official said.
Beijing has been known to introduce costly counterpunches. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told reporters Tuesday that China opposes “the unilateral imposition of tariffs which violate (World Trade Organization) rules, and will take all necessary actions to protect its legitimate rights.”
After Trump unveiled his wide-ranging tariff policy, China slapped tariffs on $101.4 billion in US exports, retaliation that the Brookings Institute estimated affected 294,000 American export-related jobs.
The White House has declined to speculate on how Beijing may hit back now. Officials have pointed to parallel investigations by partners in Europe, Brazil and Turkey as bolstering their position.
“China is producing [goods] at a rate and with a trajectory that’s far in excess of any plausible estimate of global demand,” the first senior administration official said.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Secretary of State Antony Blinken each raised that point with Chinese counterparts during formal visits to the country in April. Administration officials discussed releasing the changes in April to set the stage for a tariff speech Biden delivered mid-month, but ultimately held off to preserve the diplomatic visits, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
On April 17, Biden spoke at the United Steelworkers headquarters in Pittsburgh, calling for a tripling of tariffs Trump placed on certain steel and aluminum products imported from China, and a new investigation into unfair shipbuilding practices. The Chinese government, Biden argued, is providing state money to Chinese steel companies to make more steel than the economy demands, pushing down the price and making it impossible for other companies to compete.

“They’re not competing,” Biden said of China. “They’re cheating.”

It’s a message that plays favorably across the so-called blue wall, the handful of Midwest manufacturing-heavy states that will be critical for either candidate during an election where trade will once again figure prominently.
It played less favorably across the Pacific, with China’s Ministry of Commerce accusing the US of “false accusations” and “wrong practices.”
In a separate executive order issued on Monday, Biden forced MineOne, a Chinese-backed cryptocurrency mining company, to sell its land near the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. The order said MineOne’s close proximity to the Air Force base raises national security risks due to the company’s use of “specialized and foreign-sourced equipment potentially capable of facilitating surveillance and espionage activities.”
The decision comes amid recent attempts by Washington to limit Chinese companies’ influence on US consumers and national security, especially ahead of the 2024 presidential elections in November.

Australia to invest $15 billion in renewable energy, critical minerals Reuters

SYDNEY, May 14 (Reuters) - The Australian government on Tuesday announced a A$22.7 billion ($15.0 billion) package to boost domestic manufacturing and renewable energy as the country seeks to reduce its reliance on foreign suppliers for key technologies. Details of the Future Made in Australia package announced in the government's annual budget included billions in subsidies for the emerging critical minerals and clean energy industries and efforts to reduce red tape for investors in the sector.
The spending will be made over the next decade and comes as major economies invest billions to support clean energy projects and compete with China in manufacturing electric vehicles and semiconductors, seen as vital for prosperity and national security. Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the budget invested in the country's ambitions to become a "renewable energy superpower". "The world is committed to net zero by 2050," Chalmers said in his budget speech. "This will demand the biggest transformation in the global economy since the industrial revolution."
The package will introduce tax incentives worth A$7 billion for the processing and refining of 31 critical minerals and A$6.7 billion for renewable hydrogen production from the fiscal year ending June 2028 to the 2039-40 fiscal year. Additionally, A$1.5 billion will support investment in the domestic production of solar panels and the battery supply chain. While Australian factories enjoy close proximity to essential raw materials used in production, they have for decades struggled to compete globally due to high labour costs and distance from major international markets.
Australia wants to build a battery chemicals industry to reap more value from its mineral wealth, but the nickel sector is facing thousands of job cuts after a jump in Indonesian supply saw prices plunge. Earlier this year, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's government classified nickel as a "critical mineral", allowing the local industry access to billions of dollars in cheap government loans.

FORM YOUR OWN OPINIONS & CONCLUSIONS ABOVE:

Should be interesting for U.S. Critical Minerals & Mining operations, U.S. Automakers like Stellantis & other industries like U.S. Steel & Aluminum as the playing field continues to even out! Bodes Well for Niocorp & everything they will produce once FINANCED!
FULL STEAM AHEAD!

2024.05.14 17:40 TheMadTitan1 Flexbox help, I'm a bit confused.

So I am doing the Odin Projects curriculum and I am currently at the flexbox layout practice sections. This part has me laying out the page like in their example. It's pretty much a google home page clone. I am almost done with it exept that it does not take up the full page. It only takes up a part up top but has a large blank section hanging below. I already applied 'height: 100vh;' to the body element but it still wont take up the full page like google's home page would.
What am I missing?

When recreating historical workwear, how do I get wide ranges of movement from flatter shapes?
(In these pictures, I left the original instagram poster's username just to credit him for these pictures I'm using to ask my question)
So, I'm currently altering a pullover shirt pattern (Laughing Moon 107 men's shirt) to make a sort-of recreation of the original "Miner's pullover" the Levi's 211 Closed front jumper. This one pictured is a recreation Levis did years ago. What I'm confused by is that the back panel is "flat"- there's not a yoke or any pleats to give the back dimension. Also, I notice that the front and back panels are using the selvedges of this fabric, meaning this has to be a fixed size, right? If you're using a fabric that's only 28" wide, I guess you can use the full width to your advantage.
I'm probably doing too much work altering an existing pattern instead of drafting a pattern or finding a recreation of this online, but I think I can make a version of this With a yoke, but alter the back panel so I don't need to add pleats (my sewing machine will thank me for not needing to sew through 40 Oz of denim at once)- however? I'm wondering how this will change the range of movement. Maybe as long as the sleeves are generously cut, and long enough, and the body of the shirt is full enough, it doesn't matter? I need to make a mockup anyway, but I thought I would ask on here-
how does a totally flat back panel "work" for workwear?
