How to make a money lei necklace

All names are fake.
My mother (Carrie) passed away in November of last year. She and her long time partner (Joe) lived in California; they were not married nor had a registered domestic partnership as far as I know. Joe let me know that my mom set aside jewelry and family heirlooms for me, and a few other items for my sister. He also mentioned multiple times that she left some money that was not his (and so I assume would pass to me and my sister). He is a nice guy and I didn’t want to rush him while he was grieving, so I just never got around to collecting my mother’s belongings (I live across the country).
My assumption was that Joe would have my mother’s will and act accordingly, so I did not file for probate. I do not know what assets she may have had.
I am very low contact with that side of the family, so I recently found out that Joe had passed away about a month ago. I don’t have a close relationship with Joe’s sister (Dawn, who lives in California and is now handling his estate) or my sister (Lyn, also in California), so I don’t have a full picture of the actual situation. Dawn has already been clearing out their house, and has packed up my mother’s documents (so we don’t know if any of her possessions have been taken as well). She told my sister that she did not find a will, and she has filed a petition to administer Joe’s estate. We would like to find the paperwork for any separate accounts held by my mother, but mostly I would just like to take possession of the items my mother left for me. My sister does not have a good relationship with Dawn, but has told me that Dawn has prevented her from taking items such as my mother’s heirloom tablecloths and Lyn’s baby book. I have been trying to make arrangements to travel to California and collect the items left to me, but Dawn has rescheduled and today she asked me not to come because her lawyer told her to wait until Joe’s probate hearing passed through the court. Like I said, it is hard to see if I am getting the full picture, or if Dawn is trying to prevent us from taking possession of our inheritance. There have been a couple of red flags in the communication, so I was hoping for advice on the legal process here.
Their house is worth a significant sum but the deed was joint tenancy, so unless we find a will, that might just be included in Joe’s estate now. After my mom died, Joe never completed the paperwork that the house had basically reverted into his full ownership. If I do need to start legal proceedings, how likely would it be that my sister and I would inherit any ownership of the house?
I wanted to finish up my side of things before Joe’s estate went through probate so that I would have leverage if Dawn tried anything sketchy, but his probate hearing is coming up soon. Would it theoretically be possible that my mother’s estate gets mixed into Joe’s and then we would have no legal standing to take possession of my mother’s estate after Joe’s probate hearing?
Is there any reason why my sister and I would not be able to enter the home and collect my mother’s possessions? Dawn currently would have to agree to let us in the home (even though she has already been going through the house herself). We would just like to go in and take what my mother left us on a day Dawn is already at the house.

As Stoics, we can employ a view from above to provide ourselves with the necessary context to see our place in the world and how small that place is. We can also apply this technique to our digital lives—a digital view from above, if you will.
We are represented by records of data from all over the world. Some people are frightened of having data stored about them. The concern is that this data can be processed and analysed efficiently to quantify you as a person. A further concern is that governments, corporations, or other perceived bad actors could use this data to take away our freedoms and our sense of ourselves.
But take a view from above. Your digital self is just a few files scattered on various storage devices worldwide. Computers make your digital self from bits of digital dust.
Consider this: your digital representation is just a few scattered files among billions of others. Some of those files may not even belong to real people. To believe that you are somehow unique in this vast digital landscape is a fallacy. More importantly, this data is not you. It's merely a digital echo devoid of your virtues and true essence.
But you can see adverts targeted at you. Amazon offers you what to buy. Google tracks your search history and location and offers suggestions based on this data. What of it? Do you have the choice to engage with these distractions or not? Can you choose what to spend your money on or not? Can you choose to use a platform if it concerns you so much? If you have selected a convenience, you need to weigh the cost and determine if the convenience supports your values. And all of these conveniences are indifferent. They only impact your character if you let them.
Consider your view into the digital world. Recognise the tiny bit of digital dust that you are in that world. Your digital fingerprint is small. If you are upset when your digital world has failed you, you have placed too much faith and value within it.
Remember, files come and go. They may no longer be needed, lost, or corrupted, or you might choose to remove them. The digital world is not a realm of permanence, as you might have believed. We've been able to preserve records of our ancestors through the written word for centuries. Records fade, and storage fails.
In a view from above, the Stoics attempt to see how small their worries are when looking at the world. Take a digital view from above. Your technology and digital fingerprint do not define you. You define yourself. Be glad that you can share your virtues and values with others in a heartbeat today. It is the practice of a Stoic to see their place in the world. Do not let your ego create the belief that your place in the digital world is any more grand than in the real one.

The price is holding strong even though the whole market's dipping, and everyone in the community is HOLDING their tokens like crazy even on a weekend. This tells me one thing: they REALLY believe in the Future project. The Future trading bot hasn't even dropped yet, and we can all imagine what that's gonna do to the price - it's gonna explode!
The community is unreal, the vibes are immaculate, honestly can't remember the last time I was in a better one. They just announced some killer marketing coming tomorrow, including paid ads, and when I look at the chart and see how the price held this weekend, I can only imagine what it's gonna look like after that gets rolling.
The Future team seems to have crazy high expectations for the trading bot, and while I think it'll definitely be good, I'm not sure if it can quite compete with the likes of Bonk or Trojan in terms of pure popularity. Their best bet is to keep building that strong community (which they're definitely doing) and leverage it to spread the word about the bot. Plus, hey, with goals this ambitious, even if you aim for Mars, worst case scenario you land on the Moon. Moon in this case being hundreds of millions in market cap, which ain't bad!
Another good thing is the team can make a ton of money off the trading bot itself, so I don't see any reason for them to rug pull or anything like that. I know what you're thinking, "but what if they're just talking a big game and not actually working on it?" Well, not quite. The team actually released a working front-end for the Future trading bot so people can see they're not just blowing smoke.
Honestly, I'm super stoked about this project and so grateful I found it early. Just wanted to share this with you guys because I think this could be a once-in- a-lifetime opportunity. Do your own research of course, but seriously consider joining the Future fam! See you in the community if you decide to hop on.

So many jokes you could make on Soll. For example, after Alphonso's relocation to foreign (island) country and selling Gasom , you could hear how Soll dialike ut. And after it you may say that "it sounds familiar" because Soll loves on his ialand too. You may make it look like that Soll is just like Alphonso, which i think Soll absolutely hates. Or after Soll's commenting about match yoy may offer Soll to become couch. I think FC Anrica will die of delight if that happens and you may laugh that his now hust your worker and makes money to you. Or maybe a little bit embarrassing joke, but just listen: Alco-SOLL. REALLY?? There must be a pub like that in Anrica, really. Or how you could criticize Alphonso togeter wirth Soll despite hating each other. Alphonso even calls himself "panching bag" for both of you. It may be i'm so glad because of this only because i REALLY wanted to put Soll in jail (which Gloria Tory prevented), but all opportunities that you have for pissing him off are just brilliant. Only pity is that i can't go with him to the bathroom together once again. It would be so funny that i may die because of it. I hope "RADICALL" will right some interesting things about in their statements. Maybe even they will act like one Rizian journal after decriminalisation of one thing (i'm sorry, but i find this thing extremely funny). From this moment they will be real tabloid (or not?) But not only these things are matter. I could look to the Soll from rhe other side. I even liked him a little bit. I think this is one of the most interesting event in rhe whole Sordland company.

I drive a tow truck for a living and on the weekends the drivers have to release cars when people come to pick them up from the yards due to the yard offices being closed. His car was towed for being parked in a fire lane and apparently he had been going back-and-forth with a call takers for about two hours complaining about how his car was illegally towed and during those conversations they made it very clear that he needs to prove his ownership of the vehicle in order to pick it up, that would include either a current registration that is not expired, or the title to the vehicle. when I got to the yard and started the process of releasing his car. I asked him if he was the registered owner, he said “yes, here’s my proof”. He handed me a receipt for four tires from Costco with his license plate number on it (I need the VIN and his name). I asked him if the registration was in the truck like most normal people and he said it should be and I warned him that if it’s not, I cannot legally release the vehicle. So I went to go look and there was no registration in there, but I was nice enough to grab his wallet for him so that he could take care of any business he needed to in order to get his proper documentation, when I went back out to the parking lot, I explained to him that I legally cannot release the car because he can’t prove that he owns it and he said his keys should be “enough proof”. Guess what Boomer, they are not. He then went on to say that I was just trying to keep his car longer to make more money off of it, I don’t make more money off of a car depending on how long it’s been in the yard. And then he accused the person who towed it stealing stuff out of his wallet. He told me to call the cops and I said you are free to call them if you feel the need to, but that means when the officer gets out here, he would have to look up his registration and basically vouch for the guy that it’s his car and sign my tablet stating that it’s OK to release the car to him. In most cases, the officer does not want to put their name on it. He claimed that it would take 40 days to get a registration in the mail, but the state that we are in you can do all of that online and I can even take the document off of his phone as proof, we could’ve done it right then and there and he said he didn’t know how to. Now normally I would help the person do that, but he gave me an attitude from the moment I drove up to him and I was starting to give it back. I told him there are third-party motor vehicle services that work on the weekends so he demanded I tell him where one is. I simply told him to Google it, he responded with “GoOgLe??!!!!”. At that point I was so fed up with his attitude and his entitlement and then he tells me that it’s not his fault that we don’t have the proper documentation to release the car to him legally, when in fact, HE is the one who failed to bring the proper documentation.
I can’t stand entitled boomers who do no wrong.

So basically I work for a small business where I started working sales for and eventually created a full-time position in social media management and content creation for them. I have increased online sales by 40% and have helped reach/exceed our e-commerce teams monthly goal three months in a row. (some thing they rarely reach) it’s been an open conversation with ownership and staff that I am the main contributing factor for helping to reach their online goal.
I just found out that the e-commerce team gets a bonus when they reach their monthly goal. Some thing I have not received nor even knew about. I found out, I believe accidentally, when a coworker asked me “ how much is the online teams bonus again for reaching goal?” and I am so disheartened and very frustrated that I didn’t know about this.
Mind you I make $16.75 an hour to make content, edit, post, keep up with engagement, etc. and after proving myself consistently by increasing revenue I’ve been planning a talk with ownership for a raise.
But now that I hear the online team is getting a bonus and I’m not even receiving that is making me hesitant to even ask for the bonus and a raise.
Ownership is very frugal with their money and always talk openly about how payroll is so expensive for them (even though they are starting to do a major renovations in store and always take extravagant trips)
I’m not sure how to move forward with this discussion with them. I’m hoping you guys can give me some advice/tips on how to handle this.

Hi everyone. I’m trying to figure out the best way to get my foot into the publishing world door.
To give some background, I’m currently ending my first year of my Communication Studies master’s program. I only did two years of undergrad and graduated in Spring ‘22 with a bachelor's in English with a concentration in creative writing. During that time I tailored a lot of my classes towards editing and rhetoric and worked on the school page as a copyeditor. Due to financial situations, my summers had to be dedicated to making sure money and I unfortunately haven’t had any internships.
I took a “gap year” because I was waiting for a master's program that ended up completely changing their focus. Since I still had two years left of a full scholarship I decided to do a different program which started Fall ‘23. This past year I was a TA for a Business Communication course where I taught lab sections. I also recently took a PR Theory course which I found enjoyable.
All this to say, what should I do next? I’ve been constantly applying to internships with no luck. Soon I need to start applying for jobs as my program ends in a year. I’m open to any department because I understand how competitive the industry is. I’m looking for straight advice. TYIA!

After observing the community sentiment over the last few days, I've come to the conclusion that we need to discuss the reasons why we, as a player base, actually bought EOD to begin with. It's common knowledge that the majority of active players have EOD, so why is that? Having played the game on a base account, I will be honest in saying I bought it for the stash size upgrade, gamma case, and increased trader rep. Those things alone make the game "enjoyable" for a long-term casual player who barely reaches lvl 42.
While I agree that EOD owners should receive the new PVE mode, and I agree that the recent events scream cash-grab, I want to point out that the problem here is not "pay to win"...but "pay for a better experience". As someone who loves this game, loves the experience, and sinks hundreds of hours each wipe, I can confidently say that I would pay $250 to mitigate 100s of hours of pointless scaving, loot runs, and frustrating questing over the course of even a few wipes.
While I agree with efforts to curb RMT cheating, etc...the game is structured in such a way that promotes RMT. This is exactly why BSG can get away with charging us for in-game benefts. Hell, I'm willing to say that EOD and Unheard are quite literally "legal" RMT.
I haven't bought the new edition yet, and probably won't, but I don't think I'm alone in saying that I'm genuinely willing to pay that much money to improve the experience (as sad as that is to say). There is a reason 1/3 of my recent deaths have been to Unheard players...and I don't think it's because those people want future DLC, want to support BSG or think the knife and armband look cool. No, it's because the game is structured so insanely that people will pay money to save their own precious time.
The streamers, bless their hearts, play into this unknowingly. BSG gave them kappa and lighthouse so we can sit back and say, darn, how cool would it be to get there this wipe. Well, what if I told you I could get you this much closer for the small price of...

Bad teeth ruining mental health
Hey all! Just wanted to vent a little as I feel I have nobody else to talk to about this. I'm 24, and have had terribly bad teeth since I was a child. Here recently it's gotten worse. At the beginning of this year I had 3 emergency tooth extractions due to unbearable pain and horrible infections. I had broke 2 of my upper back teeth at once and then I had another upper middle one that was infected. That got handled, I was lucky enough to have some help from my in laws paying out of pocket for it since I don't have any insurance nor can afford to get some. Now, a couple months later, my other 2 upper back teeth are hurting along with one on my lower bottom back. I feel like I can't escape this pain and am unsure what to do next. I need to get them extracted, however, that's hard to do every couple of months if this continues. I have looked and looked for dental insurance that isn't an insane amount of money every month but I haven't had any luck. I'm in indiana. My mom and dad had bad teeth as well and they both got dentures at a young age. I would like to as well just so I don't have to deal with this death rattling pain any longer, but it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was in such unbearable pain last time this happened I lost 20 pounds because I couldn't eat and what I could eat was mashed potatoes and boost drinks. I wasn't sleeping. I was crying every day telling everyone something is wrong. I was freezing all the time. It was terrible. I wish dental insurance wasn't so much money or I'd make the leap to start preparing for dentures. If (more like when) I get the last 2 upper back teeth removed I am unsure how I will eat. That was the side I'd eat on since my other 2 are gone now. I have been stressing over every little possibility and how long i will have to deal with this until something is done or I hit the lottery. For my other 3 extractions it was around 700 to 800 i cant quite remember.. Ugh. I could keep ranting but I think that's enough for now, haha. If you made it this far thank you for taking the time to read. Have a good day :)

My boyfriend is a nice guy but there are certain things that have started bothering me and when I bring them up he says I should stop being so obsessed or that I don't handle things maturely.
He has been very open about the fact that he's never really been there for anyone because "Relationship is a pillar and there's comfort in knowing that it's going to be like this so you can focus on other things in life" but now I feel that's just an excuse to avoid putting in efforts.
He will never come to visit me, he won't spend money when out with me (we always split the bills) and for reference he earns way more than I do, he puts in time and efforts for his friends but if I ask something I become "too demanding".
I've been feeling upset and we're soon going to start long distance so not sure how to make it work. My main concern is that whenever I try to communicate stuff that bothers me, he just says that he doesn't like me this way. And I start feeling bad for bringing up my concerns.
Stuff that I've brought up before : he went on a trip with a female friend and shared the bed there I felt uncomfortable so after that trip I told him to not share bed with other female friends- other than that I have no problems but we had a huge fight where no one was budging so he decided to cancel the next trip he was planning. I felt bad because I just didn't want him to share the bed.
He's not being affectionate towards me. Tells me to give it some time to let things go back to normal but I still feel off. I'm confused as to whether this is my mistake or am I really not receiving any love
I don't know whether to stay in the relationship or leave him. How do I figure this out? Please help

Hi, I’ve spent the last 10/11 years in a constant state of negative balance, payday putting me to zero and spending the rest on debt payments and bills. Last payday was the final payment on a big debt and now I’m debt free with exactly £0 and no overdraft. I live alone, am 28M and make just over 36k PA. Tomorrow is payday and I’m worried as I’ve made really poor financial decisions that I’ve been paying the price for since I left school just over 10 years ago.
My expenses are £1600 a month. - this is what I’ve budgeted as all bills, including some ‘fun money’ as I haven’t had this luxury in a long time.
my income is £2474.22 bottom line. I get this tomorrow. I have read the flowchart and know what I should be doing but my question is how do people who have been in debt avoid going back in? I absolutely want to stay as far away from it as possible. Do I spend the month like a hermit and have 800 as a barrier? Is there advice for people coming out of debt? I haven’t used any help on the debt and just paid it off.
The flowchart is great, but I need advice on how to go from here. Strangers is my first go to. But if anyone’s been in this position and knows external help or any other useful articles or anything it would be appreciated. This part seems harder than it was to be in debt which sounds stupid. Thanks for taking the time to read.

I choose Home Chef after a friend gifted me a meal. I thought how easy and nice it was to have everything I needed to make a pretty good meal. The problem is every single week there is a problem with the order I receive. Missing meat one week, wrong kit, spoiled food, missing dessert, missing recipe..... This service is NOT cheap and for the price, I expect to get what I order. I can say they are good about refunding you money for the errors, but that doesn't help you when you need to cook dinner and you don't have the meat or ingredients you need for the meal.

Work in a department store. Head office decided that the space my department was in would make more money if it was let out to a 3rd party company, so it's been shut down. I loved working there, my only gripe was the management (who rarely went into my dept as we were basically autonomous) and the fact we were chronically understaffed (probably because they were looking to shut us down, I'm realizing now).
Now my team have been moved out to the main floor, joining the team out there. Which has meant our contracts have been absorbed by the available overtime hours, which means no one has extra hours. Most people work double their contracts or thereabouts, so this has meant everyone's pay has basically halved overnight, including ours.
For some reason, even though we didn't want it to shut, we miss our loyal customers, and we'd prefer to do that work than what they've got us doing, my colleagues have shown resentment that we've 'taken' their hours.
Desperately trying to find something else so I'm not in a hostile work place, but obviously it's not immediate, so just having to get on with it short term. Just frustrated with how people have to make shit work worse with their shit attitudes.

​

1. Last week ended badly on an engagement I've previously been doing well in
2. I have high-functioning autism
3. I earned the most money during my time there and brought back one of the largest, if not the largest, sums of money
4. Unfortunately, I mixed up some exam dates and slid off the project early, but didn't tell the manager until he found out from my counsellor snitching on me... I didn't tell my manager bc by the time I found out it was a mistake, my replacement had already been found anyway
5. The client also complained about me accidentally cc'ing an external customer of theirs into an email chain where they were discussing what they can do about the customer's account ( not much cos the client is incompetent and I know what I did wrong-- I should be more careful re email ettiquette next time
6. The manager also told me off for deleting some files and then recovering them from the recycling bin ... he pointed out it was a wider pattern of me doing things before asking/not informing people of things when they happen/ poor stakeholder management
7. All of those aren't material to the engagement except for the client complaint
8. I had to write my own self-evaluation and send it to manager. I was honest with the points I need to improve on:

Points to improve and how:
1. Refresh Excel data analysis skills by attending courses provided by company
2. Communicate more with senior stakeholders before taking action i.e., know when I am making an important decision and inform the senior stakeholders about it before I take action
3. Stop assuming stakeholders know everything I do so that I can inform stakeholders when I change things i.e., when I changed the statuses of some customer interactions on the spreadsheet over the weekend, I should have informed MANAGER X as he needed to ensure the client reporting was accurate day-to-day; I should have explained to MANAGER X too that sometimes clients promised to pay etc. and then a few days late would email me with a problem they found and refuse to pay, thereby changing their status
4. Strike the right balance between problem solving myself and knowing when to lean on others for help e.g., whilst I have been proactive in reaching out to XX employees to help me, I should have spent more time explaining the issue to them instead so the problem could be solved quicker
5. Enhance ability to make perform well in time-restricted situations i.e. through practice, ensure I do not sacrifice quality when finishing tasks to time restrictions

Hey Reddit,
Throwaway account. I am going to do my best to make this as quick as possible, I hate the posts that are novels but I also get it after typing this, because theres a lot of nuance in the context.
I (29M) have been dating my girlfriend (28F) for two years. When I met her she seemed great in many ways and I quickly became very attracted to her. She checked virtually every box. She is a homebody like I am, she holds he same values, we want the same things in life, we are very compatible sexually and in many ways she is more giving and understanding than virtually every girl i've talked to.
The problem is, she keeps breaking my trust and otherwise has some major red flags.
About 3 months into talking, I caught her lying for the first time. She was snapchatting another guy she told me was just a friend sexually. She didn't know that I knew, I reacted by making us officially, she blocked the guy without being prompted to.
5 months in I found out she was an alcoholic, we've spent that last year and some change helping get her out of it. It took some work but she is 4 months sober as of today (if I can trust that)
6 months in I found her lying for a second time. She lied about drinking.
9 months in, I caught her lying about her grades at school. Long story short she was a college dropout and I, along with her family, convinced her to get back into school and finish her degree. She failed a class but told me she was passing with strait A's, we fought about it.
1 year in I caught her lying about her grades again. I broke it off with her but we had a 2 week trip in europe already planned with her family and I didn't want to waste the money I spend on it, so we went and ended up back into a relationship.
I am highlighting the big lies that were tied to other red flags, but there are other little lies sprinkled throught. They all seem to revolve around "not wanting to disappoint". IE "did you put in your two weeks at your job, they should probably know" - "yes I did" but she didnt...
a year and 3 months in I got a job offer across the country, and after a lot of discussion she ended up picking up her life and moving across the country with me.
That brings me to today. For the first time in almost 9 months I caught her lying again. I noticed something weird about her school and asked if she was failing classes. She told me no, I told her to be honest and she told me she was being honest. I told her I was going to ask her to prove it then left the room. When I came back she gave me a hug and told me she did fail a class and that the lie just slipped out (an excuse shes used many times at this point). I honestly feel like she just told me because I told her I was going to ask her to prove it.
I guess I just dont know what to do anymore. I do love this girl and can see a future with her, but i'm not okay with feeling like this or not being able to trust my significant other. Its annoying because the lies almost seems like she cares in some twisted way, as if she doesn't want to disappoint others. I guess my question is, how should I approach the relationship and is there any way to get her to be honest with me?

I see many startups and smaaaall businesses, even self employed people branding themselves, publishing content constantly. Stories, posts, carousel posts, videos, and sometimes even podcasts, interviews, YouTube and TikTok.
I am a photographer and marketer struggling to make enough content. I feel like it often takes too much prep work and also I feel limited on time. I don’t have money to book in models, and try to ask for help throughout network.
How do y’all pushing so much content all the time?
Btw, I’m currently trying to brand my new clothing webshop and my own brand as a freelancer.
Thanks in advance!

Hi All. Just looking for some help/guidance… I have recently developed extreme anxiety about my car. For context, I drive a somewhat older luxury European car which comes along with some challenges as these cars aren’t really meant to go be driven past 100k miles. Needless to say, I have experienced many issues with the car, from broken coolant tanks to major electrical problems, the car has proven to be unrealiable. However, I have gotten all of these issues fixed at mechanics. I have only started working a little over a year ago so it’s not like I have a bunch of money saved up to purchase a car at the moment. I am grateful this car was a friend of mines who moved to the city and no longer needed it (yay for no car payment). However I feel extreme anxiety every time I start the car that it’s going to fail, or blow up. I don’t know much about cars so it’s not like would know what to really do in these situations. I also overly listen to every sound my car makes and think it’s unusual or that it’s going to break down.
I am moving to the city in the fall so I won’t need a car anymore in like six months. However, i live in a rural town with little public transportation so i really need a car or some method to get me to and from every day. I just don’t know how to address this anxiety so it doesn’t become debilitating anymore and ruin my life. I just obsess over it all the time and let it spiral me into deep anxiety breakouts.

Story time!
tldr: on Nevia 3 of us - me (Arwa the hunter; organizer), Serby and Kohaminha completed the most expensive and one of the hardest bosses to complete in the game - Ancient Spawn of Morgathla (60/60), as second team in tibia (first one was Gentebra - some of them finished on 21st of April, 1 week before us). We are the first team in GBE and it took 1.5 years and cost more than 40k tc.
Long story:

1. The Journey

I was having about a year of break from the game between 2021-2022, decided to return around October 2022, and to my surprise, my interests in the game shifted a bit, towards making achievements. One of the achievements which you can get, is from opening a chest after killing Ancient Spawn of Morgathla - boss I haven’t even heard about prior to this date. In order to have a chance of killing Morgathla, one has to gather 3 items, which are very rare drop from wz 4-6 bosses - mallet head, mallet pommel and mallet handle. There was a problem though, there were no pieces for sale on my server. I had 1-2 chars on other servers, and I saw there were no pieces other than a mallet handle available either. I figured that this might be one of the things that takes a bit more effort, therefore I used the closest double XP event to level up on separate account characters on every GBE Optional PVP server there is. I’ve checked all of them, and found pieces for Morgathla, scattered on 2 servers. Organized world transfers for them, collected them on Olima, arranged this to be a public event for everyone from the server who wishes to come, asked for some donations etc (didn’t want to charge people at this point - I had no idea if anyone would be interested to come). Our first kill happened sometime in the beginning of December 2022.
After this kill, i realized there was massive interest, and hardest part is already in place - having characters on every gbe n pvp, so I started scoping markets every few days for those to see if they show up - they did, so while transferring them I arranged few more public, free of charge kills (I was only asking people to donate me some money, some did, but it was way too little to cover expenses). In the meantime someone suggested to me also checking pvp and rhc pvp servers, this turned out to be a jackpot - few more mallets were waiting for me there, ready to collect. In April 2023, we had maybe 12 kills completed and I realized, some of the people that come, are not playing fair with me - e.g. one person that was taking part in every kill dropped mallet head (by far the most scarce piece of strange mallet) and wanted me to pay for it, to give it back to community (he was hiding who he is at first, keeping it as anonymous sell offer on market, but for way more than i was willing to pay). In the end, I did pay him some money for it, but I asked him to not join the Morgathla organized by me ever again, and started talking with moderators of the boss hunter community, to not have this as a public event anymore, but to move it to boss hunters and have it done more privately.
This move however required some rework - first of all, I have already spent over 10k tc from my own pocket for everyone's benefit, so I decided it’s enough, and it’s time to make costs public too. I decided to not waste my time being ticketing police, and instead work with donation goals - anyone that wants to contribute, can send me some money or tc, once combined donation reaches an average cost of 3 strange mallets, I organize the next run during which we kill 3 Morgathlas. However, since I was about to use resources of boss hunters community, rather than arrange things on my own, I had to work out transparency - once again using knowledge I gathered, I created separate account, to which also boss hunting mods received access, where I leveled up character on every server I identified to either be able to provide mallet piece, or already did provide one in the past. On top of that, Boss hunting mods created a shared google spreadsheet, which anyone with direct link can access, that’s only editable by us, to check for information - how much was spent, how much money there is, how much money was donated etc. At some point, boss hunting mods also decided that except for regular way of joining our community (finding and sharing at least one rare nemesis boss), they would also introduce option to pay - if someone wants bosses, but doesn’t want to look for them, they can pay 250 tc per month, out of which 125 tc goes directly to Morgathla fund, and another 125 tc is to be raffled/given away to the most successful boss finders (not gonna go into details - mix of raffle and giveaway).
This was basically it. For the next year, each and every day, I have been checking every market on this account (sometimes twice a day) + once per week every other market, to see if any mallet pieces showed up. Since we were working with donations, some part of it was also spent to keep the account with premium status and keep buy offers up. Once we gathered enough donations and enough mallet pieces, we were setting up another run of 3 kills. Only thing that was very seldomly paid for from Morgathla's banking account, was world transfers - I was simply running a comparison check between two servers, and bought everything that would bring me profit upon bringing to Olima (and later after the merge Nevia). Usually the amount of items I found was enough to cover the cost, sometimes it was also bringing fairly decent profit on top of world transfer.

1. Current set up

What we currently have is money flowing from 50+ active boss hunters, pumping buy offers on selected GBE markets, and used also towards keeping the account in premium status. Once enough money is collected, and mallet pieces are available, another run with 3 kills on standardized time and day of the week is being held. Every market is being checked a few times a day to battle any bid wars that may show up.

1. A little bit of numbers

• over 200 individual donations, ranging from 25 tc to 1k tc donation each + money coming from paid ranks
• 40k tc spent excluding costs of most of world transfer (but including 10k+ tc I paid from my own pocket at the beginning)
• total north of 400 hours spent of my time over the span of 17 months on: market checking and character leveling, world transfers, market prices comparison, building spreadsheet tools that will help with data gathering and math, selling items etc. Killing itself takes 10 minutes per kill, therefore additional 10 hours here
• current average price of strange mallet already went up to 1.3k tc and trend is also up, therefore right now this boss seems like already something that will easily cost north of 100k tc to complete
• between 5 and 10 mallets built from mallet pieces dropped by participants themselves
• between 30 and 40 world transfers done (would be another 30k tc cost, if it wasn’t for market flipping)

FAQ
Q: Would you do it again? A: hell no, no chance
Q: Why only 3 of you completed? A: Everyone else either swapped chars in the meantime, or had to skip a run. There are a few more people that are almost completing though.
Q: What is the loot? Is there a chance for anything fun? A: Sadly, not really, at least not to our knowledge. On average, this boss gives about 150k profit to each participant per kill.
Q: What are the noteworthy rares, and what are the chances to get them? A: ETA (Earthborn Titan Armor) - below 0.1% chance Ravager’s Axe - below 0.1% chance Plan for a Makeshift Armour - 2% chance that’s it, everything else costs below 1kk, even though there are items that we collectively dropped just once per all of the runs.
Q: Do gnome items drop from this boss? A: No.
Q: How many people were coming? How many people do we need to make it? A: I have seen pictures of teams of 5-7 people doing this boss, however due to scarcity of it, usually there’s way bigger interest. In our case it was usually around 50 people showing up
Q: Is there any cooldown between kills? A: none, right after kill, you can do it again
Q: Can this boss be trolled? A: yes - beware who you are inviting to kill, due to its mechanics, one person is capable of ruining it for everyone.
Q: What are your next plans? A: Me - I continue achievement hunting, currently collecting money for Ferumbras Hat (1209 achievements on 660 lvl now). Nevia boss hunting group - continue with getting mallets, as I have handovered entire set up to the next person.
Q: Any recommendations with regards to this boss? A: Yeah, don’t do it, unless you are a really hardcore completionist. Think of this boss as a menacing egg equivalent. Super costly and very hard to come by. What I can absolutely recommend is checking your depo for mallet pieces. Mallet head is an item you are after.

OK, so this year has been truly awful for me. I got divorced in February and then my father unexpected passed away in March. We are selling our marital home and I was expected to find a new place to live, but I have been dealing with grieving and taking care of his estate and just trying to be there for my mother who lives 3 hours away and I've been going to see her every weekend ,and I haven't focused on finding somewhere to live. I thought my ex-husband would be understanding, and while he says he is, he's putting the house on the market and not giving me any time to get back on my time-line.
So now I am freaking out about what I am going to do. I got pre-qualified for a mortgage but what I can afford, I cannot find in my area. Renting would take up 70% of my post-tax pay check. I am 37 years old and I do not want a roommate.
I have been trying to get a different job within my current company. I have applied 3 times and all times they have hired someone else. And I keep applying to better paying jobs outside my company. So I have been trying to make more money.
I am going to start a Masters degree in Accounting soon so hopefully in about 2 years I can get a job that makes much more money than what I am making. Also, besides this job, I have nothing tying myself to this area. No kids, no real friends, just bad memories with my ex-husband
So my options are to buy a place I can barely afford, rent a place that's even less affordable, or quit my job and move in with my mother. There, I'd be able to save on living expenses and be able to take care of things with my father's estate. I'd have to find a new job, but then I would also have family support.
I feel like I am drowning and every time I think I'm getting a life-raft, I get pulled under again. I don't necessarily want to move back in with my mother at my age, but I truly have no idea how one is supposed to survive in this economy. And I have a down payment ready, but everything else just costs so much.
I don't know, I am truly terrified and utterly heartbroken and grieving the loss of my marriage and my dad. I just need advice from other women. Please.

Posting my comment as a post now.
Nikita, you’ve been embarrassing yourself for three days now. Do you like it so much that they hate you?
EOD USERS WILL HAVE PVE ACCESS...Some time.... in about year or two...
Would you like to explain your position regarding the editing of the publication by Landmark on stream? In attempts to avoid responsibility, nonsense about the fact that the new mode is not DLC...
(By the way, do you know that costumes and cache extensions are also DLC? And my edition includes all DLC for FREE)
Explain why you are such a liar child? What makes you do this?
I don’t understand how you can make money from people, and then don’t care about these same people.
We were the ones who paid for your car, trips to Dubai, sneakers, glasses and everything else you have since 2019 for sure.
Why can't you hear us?
Personally I demand

1. normal adequate analysis of the situation
2. creation of a public relations body in the BSG, because you can write to the current ones and not receive an answer (hello Chernobyl, I wrote to you a year and a half ago, how is it there?)
3. An adequate roadmap that will not be disrupted as you usually do.

Let me explain this point: we didn’t fucking need RPD, body kits for PM and other shit. We need bugs fixed not 2-4 years after they appeared. What's in the game with sound? What's in the game with frames per second? What's in the game with netcode? And everyone’s favorite question - what about cheaters in the game?
I noticed that every second cheater bought a new edition. I have already been killed several times by a player behind cover using an “excellent” netcode and disconnecting the connection for a couple of seconds, and by an ordinary cheater who came out at night with headphones and a rifle without attachments and hung my head and a friend’s head from 70 meters in the dark.

1. Stop lying and wagging your ass in the legal field. You should be ashamed of this. To be embarrassed that someone wrote about you in Forbes is certainly powerful.
   
2. Nikita Vasilievich Buyanov must apologize in video format with an explanation of what he is apologizing for. Otherwise, the situation turns out to be like with a mischievous child who says SORRY automatically.
   
   1. Nikita Vasilievich Buyanov should play his game on stream online. On the starter edition, get KAPPA online without help or cheats. Otherwise I don't believe he's playing his game. There were so many patches with changes that showed that he simply sees the numbers, and not the game, and he does not see the numbers all the time, but in the reports on the basis of which these changes occur.
3. I almost forgot about this point. Explanations of what kind of crap Nikita was talking about in the leaked interview.
   
   1. Explain why the CIS region is not considered the target audience for BSG. We somehow gave you the opportunity not to go bankrupt and bring the game to the world market, you ungrateful pig.
   2. Accept PvE mode as a DLC. You schould do it with other "cool" in game items just because it's new paid DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT.

If Nikita Vasilievich has balls, he will accept these conditions and prove that he is a man and not a doormat.
If he refuses, it means that he is worse than the towel on which the male genitals are wiped in a brothel and there is no faith in his words.

I believe JW.org is making desperate decisions out of financial necessity. How long have they insinuated that the Borg would take care of their own during the Great Tribulation? Today, we have the prospect of drawn out global conflict, rapid heating of the Earth, tremendous support for Palestine, and soon devaluation of the dollar as a result of deepening federal debt from years of upcoming wars. Could you imagine them holding humanitarian efforts today or in a system that is based on the exceedingly fragile dollar? What of a total collapse of networks by cyberattack? They cannot sustain it. They'll decentralize and let congregations decide. Don't let them run with the money or properties! The "kings" are corrupt and greedy. Money has been the game all along.
To any still attending but with doubts, please message if you need a safe place to talk. You're not alone. Please let go and do what feels right in your heart. Humanity will need unity in the years to come and we'll find our faith is more universal than we have thought.
