2024.05.14 06:44 Jealous-Dog-2550 Macro code "1MaxRows =" giving "Compile Error"

I recently opened a spreadsheet I used to record working times against various projects. It had a simple macro to copy the project name and the current time into a separate sheet (in the same workbook) that I could then interrogate at the end of the week for billing purposes.
I tried to run the macro but I get "Compile Error, Can't find Project or Library"
This spreadsheet has no links in it and has not been modified from when it was last used about 3 years ago.
I am now operating on Office 365.
Code below.
I can come up with a workaround but would like to understand why something that worked is not not working?
The error highlights the text "1MaxRows =" marked with asterix below (asterix is not in the actual macro)
Sub Start_Project_A()
Sheets("Post").Select

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Start Work"

2024.05.14 06:39 Former-Secretary-112 My sister's (24F) boyfriend's (25M) story doesn't add up. How do I get through to her without alienating her?

This is a really long story with lots of context so I'll do my best to organize it into current situation, then his backstory and hers. I'm also not using real names or specific locations for any of this to try and keep this private. This also has some contradicting stories and because of how their relationship is structured relies mostly on information I have gotten from my sister, so I'm telling you the story I got from her first and then adding in what I've found out. I'll try to tell this as unbiased as I can but it's been a huge issue in my family for a long time now and that's a little difficult for me to do.
My (20F) sister (Olivia, 24F) has been dating this guy (Trevor, 25M) since 2021. When they started dating, she talked about him fairly often, sent a few pictures of them, ect., but then after a month she stopped mentioning him/ was cagey when we (me and my mom mostly) asked how he was so we assumed it just hadn't worked out. Then two months later she insisted that my parents (54F and 56M) and I all come to visit her college to meet Trevor before he went into the Army (she lived several hours away from my parents and several hours from my college, so I had to get a bus ticket and my parents had to get a hotel room to do this. We only met him once for dinner). Now they've been dating long distance for three years after a three month in-person relationship. She is in nursing school and is planning on moving across the country (literally opposite corners of the map) to live with him and is not applying to any residency programs outside of the Army base area (limiting her choices a LOT from her original goals and narrowing employment opportunities).
Olivia met Trevor on several dating apps, matched with him, but didn't really want to go out with him. He was really persistent, so her friend convinced her to go out with him. She lied about the way they met to our parents and told them they met at the gym through a mutual friend (she lied to me about this at first too and told me the truth about 3 months after they started dating). At the time, Trevor was working as a used car salesman and living at home (~45 min. away from Olivia's school in a rural area) because his sports scholarship had been dropped before his Senior year due to covid at the college he had been attending out of state. The university was unaccredited (I later did some internet stalking and found out it was accredited), so his credits would not transfer and he would have to start over. He was saving up money to attend school in state at the large college Olivia attended so he could go back to school. **Our state has crazy low tuition costs in-state and a full-tuition scholarship program for good high school GPA and SAT scores. There was also a "feeder" community college that had half the cost per credit hour that a lot of people would go to before the larger university if they didn't get in straight out of high school.**
Olivia told me that Trevor had applied to her college and not gotten in (she later told me he HAD gotten in but been unable to afford tuition). Either way, he decided to join the Army because his father had been in the Army. The Army would take his credit hours and he would be able to finish his degree during his 5 year contract or use the GI bill once he got out. **She is comparing the situation to our father, who joined the Army directly out of high school and used the GI bill to go to college after his 2 year contract because his parents wouldn't pay for school. He was a medic in the military, worked as an EMT through college, and then went to nursing school.** The original plan was that Trevor would be a Green Beret (special forces), he completed basic training and and got several months through training and moved to the secondary base in NC before failing the running portion of a physical by about 10 seconds and being dropped from the selection process. He then decided that he wanted to be a Ranger (another elite position). He got sent back to GA, then to the Ranger school base in WA (it took a couple of months before he was sent to WA). Again, he got partway through the training before failing the running portion of a physical by a few seconds. He is now not sure if he will be continuing Ranger school (failing the physical means no, but commanders may pass him anyways if they think he should continue). For a while, Trevor told Olivia that he might not stay at the base in WA if he wasn't in Ranger school and there were a variety of different bases he could be sent to, including somewhere in Italy, so she wasn't sure where to look for jobs. In the past month, Trevor told Olivia that he would likely stay in WA regardless of the Ranger school results.
Through this all, Olivia has visited Trevor at the different military bases countless times, driving from as far as south FL to NC and putting over 30,000 miles on a brand new car over the course of the 1.5 years she's owned it. Before she had the car, she paid for plane tickets to see him and hotels whenever she visited. At the time, she told me that he was paying for all of these trips because he was unable to visit her, was making an income that wasn't being spent, and she was working to save for nursing school and later was living off of student loans and savings during nursing school. She later admitted to me that she had paid for almost all of the expenses except for food when they ate out together and part of a hotel room one weekend.
A few odd things (to me) between Olivia and Trevor over the course of their relationship:
About a month into their relationship, Trevor got Olivia an over $300 christmas gift. He has not gotten her anything nearly that expensive since, and hasn't sent flowers for things like her college graduation or a severe emergency surgery she had last year. I don't care about monetary value or sending flowers, but I do think it is odd that he spent so much before moving away when he ostensibly didn't have much money, but now that he has an income and military sign-on bonus, he has not spent that much again.
Trevor's father left Trevor, his siblings, and his mother, but Trevor has a hat that his father gave him that he wore often. The hat says "Red Man" across the top of a picture of a Native American man wearing a feathered headdress. He has worn this hat several times around Olivia's friends and they told him they didn't like it and that it was racist. They also asked him to not wear it when he was with them and he refused because it was special to him and his father gave it to him. Olivia then told him to stop wearing it and he eventually agreed (Olivia told me that he stopped wearing the hat after this). A few weeks after this, I facetimed Olivia and Trevor was with her. She turned the camera so I could say hello to him, and he was wearing the hat. I talked to Olivia about this later and she told me that that was the first time he'd worn the hat in a while and it wasn't a big deal. Olivia has always been liberal and never racist, and I am uncomfortable that she was okay with him not only wearing the hat, but being with him while he had it on.
They dated for a little over 3 months in person before he joined the military (recently, Olivia told me that they actually met several months before she told everyone about him and that they actually dated for 6 months before he left). For the next two months in basic training, he was only able to use the phone for 15 minutes total once a week to talk to family and her. Throughout the different training programs he has completed he had sporadic and limited access to phones to communicate, and only in the past 6 months he has had access to his phone to facetime, text, and call (but sometimes he goes for a week or two without phone access). Olivia told me that they wrote letters during the time he didn't have consistent phone access. **I don't think that this is odd, I understand the military limits phone usage, etc., but I don't think they have been able to have an "average" long-distance relationship**
Last year, Olivia drove to GA to visit Trevor the weekend before Valentine's day. He had plans for them to take a pottery class, go on a hike, and have dinner at a nice restaurant. The day she got there, Trevor's barracks had their off-base privileges revoked because one of the guys had contraband. She would still be able to visit him on base though. Somehow, Trevor was able to get off base for long periods of time to her hotel, but unable to do the other activities he had planned for them.
In the past year, Olivia told me that she and Trevor were going to immediately marry when she got to WA so that they could move in together because they had to be married to live together anywhere. I and our dad- who was in the military- told her several times that this was not true, but she insisted it was. Then, his barracks were given an allowance to live off base in apartments because the barracks were being renovated/ rebuilt, so she backed off on the idea of getting married immediately after several long conversations with me. She is still insistent on moving in with Trevor, who lives with a roommate, when she moves to WA.
Some background on Olivia:
Olivia has ADHD and anxiety, and struggled particularly badly with the anxiety/ some depression after being broken up with by the boyfriend she dated before Trevor (he broke it off very abruptly, told her he just didn't love her anymore with no previous indications). Olivia is very pretty (objectively, not just because she's my sister), but had bad acne that she ended up going on accutane for at the time she started dating Trevor and was very insecure about it. She had also decided to not go to medical school, and pursue nursing instead around the same time she met Trevor. This was a very upsetting decision for her because she had been taking very hard courses and was burnt out but had told everyone she was going to be a doctor and thought that she would be letting us down by switching paths. Also around the time she started seeing Trevor, Olivia began being very cruel towards our mother (our mother had been borderline emotionally abusive in the past, but Olivia and I were both in college by then and fixing our relationships with her. She has been much better recently and Olivia and I believe that she had some mental health struggles that went unchecked that contributed). Now, several years later, Olivia told our family that she had acted like that because she was rpd by a friend of her ex-boyfriend's after her ex broke up with her. This person also gave her an STD.
I always believe people who say they have been S A'd, and we believed Olivia when she first told us, but some things have come to light that make me and my family question that. Right after Olivia and her ex broke up, Olivia told our cousin that she had gone out with one of his friends and had revenge/ breakup sex with him because he had also been dumped recently. Once my cousin told me this, I remembered that Olivia had told me about a guy she had a one night stand with after she was dumped. She showed me a picture of him, talked about how cute he was, etc. (no distress whatsoever). I know sometimes people behave in ways you wouldn't expect when a traumatic event occurs to them, but I really don't understand how or why Olivia would brag about this guy if he really did S A her.
Three months ago, Olivia was arrested for stealing a set of sheets from Walmart (incidentally, right before Trevor came to visit her on leave). She used the self check-out and only bought a small $5 item and the sheets. She held both in one hand and scanned each side because she had a cut on the other hand and was holding her wallet with it. She saw a 5 in front of the total number and thought it looked right because the total should have been about $50, paid, didn't get a receipt, and walked out. An employee at the door asked to see a receipt, which Olivia didn't have, so she pulled up her transaction history on her phone to show she had paid. At this point, the employee called the police and took Olivia into an office, where she was questioned and charged with shoplifting. (Olivia can get very emotional and probably got upset when the police questioned her, which may have led them to believe she was lying). Luckily, Olivia has managed to get the charges expunged, but the process is still ongoing. Because of her ADHD, if anyone genuinely made this mistake, I would believe it from her, but Olivia has been improving a lot on organization and being more attentive recently. It is extremely uncharacteristic of her to steal- she was honest to a fault as kids- she would break down from guilt and admit things to our parents that we would have gotten away with if she hadn't said anything.
Right now, my parents have met Trevor twice in person, and I've met him once in person and several times in passing over facetime. I personally don't think that Trevor seems to keep up with my sister or that they make each other shine, and that opinion is shared with family friends and family that have met Trevor. Olivia doesn't mention Trevor in front of our parents often because his name has become a topic of contention and argument between them. My parents don't think Trevor is right for Olivia. She has almost 2 college degrees and plans to become a nurse practitioner in the future, and he hasn't finished college and doesn't seem to have any drive to do so. Olivia is also well traveled and enjoys going to museums, concerts, etc., while Trevor has lived in rural FL his whole life (this is not Trevor's fault, and I don't think he is a lesser person because of it, but I don't see a lot of common ground between them). Trevor has not seemed very well spoken when I have talked to him and I just don't see a lot of qualities in him that Olivia values.
If you've gotten this far, I just don't know what to do. Olivia and my parents have a huge rift in their relationship right now and any mention of Trevor, with her around or not, explodes into a huge argument, discussion, or just icy silence. I want Olivia to be able to talk to me about him, and we are able to discuss things much better than she is with our parents. My parents have also started asking me about Olivia and Trevor because they know Olivia shares more with me, and it makes me uncomfortable because I don't want to betray Olivia's trust, but I'm also very worried about her. I know I can't control her actions and I'm having a really hard time trying to balance supporting Olivia but not supporting the relationship (I'm not going to lie to her about how I feel, but I don't want her to feel alienated or unloved by our family, because that is NOT the case). I also think that Olivia is romanticizing the fact that our parents don't like him because my father's parents had a rift with him over our mother when we were very young (this is a whole other story, but basically, his parents always favored his sister, his sister got (I think) jealous when he did well for himself and married my mother, who his parents initially likes, and she made up rumors/lies about my mother that turned his parents against her (this was way before our mother's suspected mental health struggles, which occured when Olivia and I were in middle/high school).
Please share any thoughts you have on the situation (am I reading too into things, is this not as bad as I think it is?), and any advice you have on navigating the relationships.
Tl;dr My sister's boyfriend lied about the circumstances of him dropping out of college and joining the military. Now I think he's lying about not making it through training for two different special/ elite forces. My sister has significantly changed her behavior and I think she may have lied about a significant traumatic event to our family. Now she is planning on moving across the country to him and moving in immediately. Our entire family doesn't like him and we're worried about her. How do I support her but not her relationship?

2024.05.14 06:36 Jorenpeck Help with Grim Hollow Features

Ive been looking for a character sheet that will do everything that i want and i think this is as close as im going to get. ive downloaded the sheet and a couple of issues that have come up that im not sure how to work around and was wondering how others would handle it.
First issue is that my current character has 3 classes but 4 different types of hit dice and the sheet only has spots for 3.
Second issue is that i have the vampire transformation from the campaign book and i dont have the faintest idea on how i might implement the extra abilities. the closest thing i can come up with is to make them into feats but as far as i can tell even with the overflow shee you can only have 9 which wouldn't be enough for all of the abilities unlocked by the transformation. ive looked online for what other people have added but the only thing ive seen for the spells, feats, and subclasses but not for the transformations.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

2024.05.14 06:30 True_Spell3438 Partner Search!! (M4A)

Howdy l've been role-playing and writing in general forat least a decade. I am a Male who can play male and female characters. I have original ideas all over and a lot of Fandoms I'm in, which I'Il include below. I'm looking for OCXOC. Every character must be 18+ I have plenty of original characters and ideas along with fandom plots.
For original ideas, i like horror and apocalypse with action and depending romance. I do have a variety. I really like monsters and creepy things from the horror genre like vampires and Tentacles, and l even have my own idea set up in modern times dealing with vampires and hunters and all of that i also enjoy eldritch type horror. I also like old-school slasher films and space sci-fi horror similar to the Alien Franchise.
Now on fandoms! To get some other things down, l only play OC. The anime fandoms i like are Jojo's, Chainsaw Man, Naruto, JJK, Soul Eater, and more. I'm well versed in the Jojo's, Naruto, and JJK, and soul eater fandoms, though it's been a while since ï've stopped keeping up with soul eater. Other fandoms im in include Percy Jackson, Call of Duty, Marvel, and DC.
I tend to use character sheets to describe my character. These are very thorough and usually consist of names, backgrounds, and personalities, along with an in-depth look on appearance. More so on appearances, I don't usually use picture references, but I will if you would like me to. The types of characters I write are the lone wolf type that has some sad past, which leads them to potentially go off the rails and gain a villain arc.
I like all types of tropes, especially enemies to lovers or rivalry. I also really enjoy opposites attracted as a whole from either opposite personality or something else they would be opposites in. Enemies to lovers takes my heart, though. I love seeing the characters go past theurge to ultimately hate each other and/or go past their usual way of disliking the others' lineage or upcoming I also love good written trauma moments. Like character death's, moments of pain and strife only to see the characters to deal and either be consumed or overcome them. I tend to either come up with original ideas for these scenes or use anime scenes as inspiration with narrative tweaks.
REQUIREMENT
I think my two biggest requirements are creativity and good pacing. Like any story, I feel these two things are very necessary to make a good story. Now, by Creativity, I don't mean you need to bring absolute craziness into the story, but abilities, character etc need to have some good genuine thought put into them. Along with that comes good pacing, which means I don't personally care about response length, and mine will vary from scene to scene accordingly.
I'm pretty much done if you have any questions. I'm here, and I'd love to hear back from you in chat the password is your favorite color. Supply it in chat only.

2024.05.14 06:28 Former-Secretary-112 My sister's (24F) boyfriend's (25M) story doesn't add up. How do I get through to her without alienating her?

Also around the time she started seeing Trevor, Olivia began being very cruel towards our mother (our mother had been borderline emotionally abusive in the past, but Olivia and I were both in college by then and fixing our relationships with her. She has been much better recently and Olivia and I believe that she had some mental health struggles that went unchecked that contributed). Now, several years later, Olivia told our family that she had acted like that because she was rpd by a friend of her ex-boyfriend's after her ex broke up with her. This person also gave her an STD.
I always believe people who say they have been S A'd, and we believed Olivia when she first told us, but some things have come to light that make me and my family question that. Right after Olivia and her ex broke up, Olivia told our cousin that she had gone out with one of his friends and had revenge/ breakup sex with him because he had also been dumped recently. Once my cousin told me this, I remembered that Olivia had told me about a guy she had a one night stand with after she was dumped. She showed me a picture of him, talked about how cute he was, etc. (no distress whatsoever). I know sometimes people behave in ways you wouldn't expect when a traumatic event occurs to them, but I really don't understand how or why Olivia would brag about this guy if he really did S A her.
Three months ago, Olivia was arrested for stealing a set of sheets from Walmart (incidentally, right before Trevor came to visit her on leave). She used the self check-out and only bought a small $5 item and the sheets. She held both in one hand and scanned each side because she had a cut on the other hand and was holding her wallet with it. She saw a 5 in front of the total number and thought it looked right because the total should have been about $50, paid, didn't get a receipt, and walked out. An employee at the door asked to see a receipt, which Olivia didn't have, so she pulled up her transaction history on her phone to show she had paid. At this point, the employee called the police and took Olivia into an office, where she was questioned and charged with shoplifting. (Olivia can get very emotional and probably got upset when the police questioned her, which may have led them to believe she was lying). Luckily, Olivia has managed to get the charges expunged, but the process is still ongoing. Because of her ADHD, if anyone genuinely made this mistake, I would believe it from her, but Olivia has been improving a lot on organization and being more attentive recently. It is extremely uncharacteristic of her to steal- she was honest to a fault as kids- she would break down from guilt and admit things to our parents that we would have gotten away with if she hadn't said anything.
Right now, my parents have met Trevor twice in person, and I've met him once in person and several times in passing over facetime. I personally don't think that Trevor seems to keep up with my sister or that they make each other shine, and that opinion is shared with family friends and family that have met Trevor. Olivia doesn't mention Trevor in front of our parents often because his name has become a topic of contention and argument between them. My parents don't think Trevor is right for Olivia. She has almost 2 college degrees and plans to become a nurse practitioner in the future, and he hasn't finished college and doesn't seem to have any drive to do so. Olivia is also well traveled and enjoys going to museums, concerts, etc., while Trevor has lived in rural FL his whole life (this is not Trevor's fault, and I don't think he is a lesser person because of it, but I don't see a lot of common ground between them). Trevor has not seemed very well spoken when I have talked to him and I just don't see a lot of qualities in him that Olivia values.
If you've gotten this far, I just don't know what to do. Olivia and my parents have a huge rift in their relationship right now and any mention of Trevor, with her around or not, explodes into a huge argument, discussion, or just icy silence. I want Olivia to be able to talk to me about him, and we are able to discuss things much better than she is with our parents. My parents have also started asking me about Olivia and Trevor because they know Olivia shares more with me, and it makes me uncomfortable because I don't want to betray Olivia's trust, but I'm also very worried about her. I know I can't control her actions and I'm having a really hard time trying to balance supporting Olivia but not supporting the relationship (I'm not going to lie to her about how I feel, but I don't want her to feel alienated or unloved by our family, because that is NOT the case). I also think that Olivia is romanticizing the fact that our parents don't like him because my father's parents had a rift with him over our mother when we were very young (this is a whole other story, but basically, his parents always favored his sister, his sister got (I think) jealous when he did well for himself and married my mother, who his parents initially likes, and she made up rumors/lies about my mother that turned his parents against her (this was way before our mother's suspected mental health struggles, which occured when Olivia and I were in middle/high school).
Please share any thoughts you have on the situation (am I reading too into things, is this not as bad as I think it is?), and any advice you have on navigating the relationships.

2024.05.14 06:26 Former-Secretary-112 My sister's (24F) boyfriend's (25M) story doesn't add up. How do I get through to her without alienating her?

This is a really long story with lots of context so I'll do my best to organize it into current situation, then his backstory and hers. I'm also not using real names or specific locations for any of this to try and keep this private. This also has some contradicting stories and because of how their relationship is structured relies mostly on information I have gotten from my sister, so I'm telling you the story I got from her first and then adding in what I've found out. I'll try to tell this as unbiased as I can but it's been a huge issue in my family for a long time now and that's a little difficult for me to do.
My sister (Olivia, 24F) has been dating this guy (Trevor, 25M) since 2021. When they started dating, she talked about him fairly often, sent a few pictures of them, ect., but then after a month she stopped mentioning him/ was cagey when we (me and my mom mostly) asked how he was so we assumed it just hadn't worked out. Then two months later she insisted that my parents and I all come to visit her college to meet Trevor before he went into the Army (she lived several hours away from my parents and several hours from my college, so I had to get a bus ticket and my parents had to get a hotel room to do this. We only met him once for dinner). Now they've been dating long distance for three years after a three month in-person relationship. She is in nursing school and is planning on moving across the country (literally opposite corners of the map) to live with him and is not applying to any residency programs outside of the Army base area (limiting her choices a LOT from her original goals and narrowing employment opportunities).
Olivia met Trevor on several dating apps, matched with him, but didn't really want to go out with him. He was really persistent, so her friend convinced her to go out with him. She lied about the way they met to our parents and told them they met at the gym through a mutual friend (she lied to me about this at first too and told me the truth about 3 months after they started dating). At the time, Trevor was working as a used car salesman and living at home (~45 min. away from Olivia's school in a rural area) because his sports scholarship had been dropped before his Senior year due to covid at the college he had been attending out of state. The university was unaccredited (I later did some internet stalking and found out it was accredited), so his credits would not transfer and he would have to start over. He was saving up money to attend school in state at the large college Olivia attended so he could go back to school. **Our state has crazy low tuition costs in-state and a full-tuition scholarship program for good high school GPA and SAT scores. There was also a "feeder" community college that had half the cost per credit hour that a lot of people would go to before the larger university if they didn't get in straight out of high school.**
Olivia told me that Trevor had applied to her college and not gotten in (she later told me he HAD gotten in but been unable to afford tuition). Either way, he decided to join the Army because his father had been in the Army. The Army would take his credit hours and he would be able to finish his degree during his 5 year contract or use the GI bill once he got out. **She is comparing the situation to our father, who joined the Army directly out of high school and used the GI bill to go to college after his 2 year contract because his parents wouldn't pay for school. He was a medic in the military, worked as an EMT through college, and then went to nursing school.** The original plan was that Trevor would be a Green Beret (special forces, linking the training pipeline here: https://www.reddit.com/greenberets/comments/xwdbta/current_sf_pipeline_correct_me_if_im_wrong/ ), he completed basic training and and got several months through the NC training before failing the running portion of a physical by about 10 seconds and being dropped from the selection process. He then decided that he wanted to be a Ranger (another elite position). He got sent back to GA, then to the Ranger school base in WA (it took a couple of months before he was sent to WA). Again, he got partway through the training before failing the running portion of a physical by a few seconds. He is now not sure if he will be continuing Ranger school (failing the physical means no, but commanders may pass him anyways if they think he should continue). For a while, Trevor told Olivia that he might not stay at the base in WA if he wasn't in Ranger school and there were a variety of different bases he could be sent to, including somewhere in Italy, so she wasn't sure where to look for jobs. In the past month, Trevor told Olivia that he would likely stay in WA regardless of the Ranger school results.
Through this all, Olivia has visited Trevor at the different military bases countless times, driving from as far as south FL to NC and putting over 30,000 miles on a brand new car over the course of the 1.5 years she's owned it. Before she had the car, she paid for plane tickets to see him and hotels whenever she visited. At the time, she told me that he was paying for all of these trips because he was unable to visit her, was making an income that wasn't being spent, and she was working to save for nursing school and later was living off of student loans and savings during nursing school. She later admitted to me that she had paid for almost all of the expenses except for food when they ate out together and part of a hotel room one weekend.
A few odd things (to me) between Olivia and Trevor over the course of their relationship:
About a month into their relationship, Trevor got Olivia an over $300 christmas gift. He has not gotten her anything nearly that expensive since, and hasn't sent flowers for things like her college graduation or a severe emergency surgery she had last year. I don't care about monetary value or sending flowers, but I do think it is odd that he spent so much before moving away when he ostensibly didn't have much money, but now that he has an income and military sign-on bonus, he has not spent that much again.
Trevor's father left Trevor, his siblings, and his mother, but Trevor has a hat that his father gave him that he wore often. The hat says "Red Man" across the top of a picture of a Native American man wearing a feathered headdress. He has worn this hat several times around Olivia's friends and they told him they didn't like it and that it was racist. They also asked him to not wear it when he was with them and he refused because it was special to him and his father gave it to him. Olivia then told him to stop wearing it and he eventually agreed (Olivia told me that he stopped wearing the hat after this). A few weeks after this, I facetimed Olivia and Trevor was with her. She turned the camera so I could say hello to him, and he was wearing the hat. I talked to Olivia about this later and she told me that that was the first time he'd worn the hat in a while and it wasn't a big deal. Olivia has always been liberal and never racist, and I am uncomfortable that she was okay with him not only wearing the hat, but being with him while he had it on.
They dated for a little over 3 months in person before he joined the military (recently, Olivia told me that they actually met several months before she told everyone about him and that they actually dated for 6 months before he left). For the next two months in basic training, he was only able to use the phone for 15 minutes total once a week to talk to family and her. Throughout the different training programs he has completed he had sporadic and limited access to phones to communicate, and only in the past 6 months he has had access to his phone to facetime, text, and call (but sometimes he goes for a week or two without phone access). Olivia told me that they wrote letters during the time he didn't have consistent phone access. **I don't think that this is odd, I understand the military limits phone usage, etc., but I don't think they have been able to have an "average" long-distance relationship**
Last year, Olivia drove to GA to visit Trevor the weekend before Valentine's day. He had plans for them to take a pottery class, go on a hike, and have dinner at a nice restaurant. The day she got there, Trevor's barracks had their off-base privileges revoked because one of the guys had contraband. She would still be able to visit him on base though. Somehow, Trevor was able to get off base for long periods of time to her hotel, but unable to do the other activities he had planned for them.
In the past year, Olivia told me that she and Trevor were going to immediately marry when she got to WA so that they could move in together because they had to be married to live together anywhere. I and our dad- who was in the military- told her several times that this was not true, but she insisted it was. Then, his barracks were given an allowance to live off base in apartments because the barracks were being renovated/ rebuilt, so she backed off on the idea of getting married immediately after several long conversations with me. She is still insistent on moving in with Trevor, who lives with a roommate, when she moves to WA.
Some background on Olivia:
Olivia has ADHD and anxiety, and struggled particularly badly with the anxiety/ some depression after being broken up with by the boyfriend she dated before Trevor (he broke it off very abruptly, told her he just didn't love her anymore with no previous indications). Olivia is very pretty (objectively, not just because she's my sister), but had bad acne that she ended up going on accutane for at the time she started dating Trevor and was very insecure about it. She had also decided to not go to medical school, and pursue nursing instead around the same time she met Trevor. This was a very upsetting decision for her because she had been taking very hard courses and was burnt out but had told everyone she was going to be a doctor and thought that she would be letting us down by switching paths. Also around the time she started seeing Trevor, Olivia began being very cruel towards our mother (our mother had been borderline emotionally abusive in the past, but Olivia and I were both in college by then and fixing our relationships with her. She has been much better recently and Olivia and I believe that she had some mental health struggles that went unchecked that contributed). Now, several years later, Olivia told our family that she had acted like that because she was raped by a friend of her ex-boyfriend's after her ex broke up with her. This person also gave her an STD.
I always believe people who say they have been sexually assaulted, abused, or harassed, and we believed Olivia when she first told us, but some things have come to light that make me and my family question that. Right after Olivia and her ex broke up, Olivia told our cousin that she had gone out with one of his friends and had revenge/ breakup sex with him because he had also been dumped recently. Once my cousin told me this, I remembered that Olivia had told me about a guy she had a one night stand with after she was dumped. She showed me a picture of him, talked about how cute he was, etc. (no distress whatsoever). I know sometimes people behave in ways you wouldn't expect when a traumatic event occurs to them, but I really don't understand how or why Olivia would brag about this guy if he really did sexually assault her.

2024.05.14 06:26 straticfever99 Digital Nancy Drew Detective Journal Preview

I've seen multiple people on this sub post their wonderful detective journals, particularly I remember u/aubrioni posting a series of pages from their journal! I took inspiration from these members of our community and wanted to share a sneak preview of my detective journal. I'm not much of a creative person with real crafts, but I love creating stuff digitally. I'm currently working on creating my journal in Google Sheets and once it's completed I will share a complete file for others to use. So here's a preview image of the "front" and "back" covers of my detective journal!

2024.05.14 06:13 No_Hippo_1472 Looking for Percy Jackson Vibes

Do any of you know of any more adult series that gave you the same vibes as Percy Jackson? I read that series in high school and even then wanted a more adult version. Would love to find something like it!
I’m fine with or without major spice. I suppose I’m looking for older characters and darker or more mature themes?

2024.05.14 06:10 Wildcatfan67 Need some help

This is for veteran DPers. I am starting a new canvas and trying new things, 1) The canvas has the adhesive sheet (not poured glue) and 2) actually sectioning the work area. Have only used poured glue canvases and on the first work area of my newest work, I cut the cover paper and the adhesive sheet using an Exacto knife. Chaos ensued. A portion of the work area lost the sticky cover. I did the best I could to salvage the adhesive and used double sided tape to fill in.
I need some tips or tricks for cutting the white cover paper. And any tips or tricks with sectioning.
And I am doing Klimt's The Kiss.
Just finished Van Gogh's Starry Night. No sectioning. Went by number listed on key. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

2024.05.14 05:59 Dense-Astronomer3426 Found an issue with a nested MIN MAX formula.

Hello, I am working on a formula that I can use with an online system at that will calculate the fees for a given valuation.
The schedule for the fees looks like this:
0 to 500 = 35
501 to 2,000 = 35 + (valuation - 500) * 2 / 100
2,001 to 25,000 = 60 + (valuation - 2,000) * 12.5 / 1,000
25,001 to 50,000 = 347.50 + (valuation - 25,000) * 9 / 1,000
50,001 to 100,000 = 572.50 + (valuation - 50,000) * 6.25 / 1,000
100,000 to 500,000 = 885 + (valuation - 100,000) * 5 / 1,000
500,001 to 1,000,000 = 2,885 + (valuation - 500,000) * 4.25 / 1,000
1,000,000 & above = 5,010 + (valuation - 1,000,000) * 2.75 / 1,000
The online system is not an exact match to excel when it comes to formulas but they share a couple of the same functions. MIN MAX are the 2 functions that it must use since IF is not available.
Here is the formula I am trying to use:
=MAX(35, MIN(35 + (A2 - 500) * 2 / 100, 35 + (A2 - 500) * 2 / 100 + MAX(0, (A2 - 2000) * 12.5 / 1000),60 + (A2 - 2000) * 12.5 / 1000 + MAX(0, (A2 - 25000) * 9 / 1000), 347.5 + (A2 - 25000) * 9 / 1000 + MAX(0, (A2 - 50000) * 6.25 / 1000), 572.5 + (A2 - 50000) * 6.25 / 1000 + MAX(0, (A2 - 100000) * 5 / 1000), 885 + (A2 - 100000) * 5 / 1000 + MAX(0, (A2 - 500000) * 4.25 / 1000), 2885 + (A2 - 500000) * 4.25 / 1000 + MAX(0, (A2 - 1000000) * 2.75 / 1000), 5010 + (A2 - 1000000) * 2.75 / 1000))
There is an error when the valuation, "A2", is between 1334-2000. It utilizes the MIN function and ends up taking the value from the next number set because it is lower than the proper number set.
Please help me figure out how to get the proper value returned. I have even set up a 1,000,000+ row excel sheet and when through each value individually to confirm that those are the only errors.

2024.05.14 05:34 RobotDragon0 PIC24: Trouble with converting between TMR value and seconds

https://imgur.com/a/Rx27Qga
I am having difficulty using the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. This is the datasheet I have been referring to: https://cdn.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Sensors/Proximity/HCSR04.pdf
As directed by the data sheet, I have been sending 10uS pulses to the trigger pin in order to get a response on the echo pin that can be used to determine the distance between an object and the sensor.
Additionally, according to the datasheet as well as the below Arduino code from Git, in order to determine the number of centimeters between an object and the sensor, you take the duration of the pulse on the echo pin and divide by 58: https://github.com/JRodrigoTech/Ultrasonic-HC-SR04/blob/masteUltrasonic/Ultrasonic.cpp
Now, here is the issue I am having. I do not know how to convert the values in TMRx to real time values (seconds). My method is using the input capture peripheral and configuring it to use Timer 3, and I record values whenever there is a change on the echo pin.
As the code shows, the formula I use to get the real time is time = (finalTime - currTime)*(Prescalar)/(frequency) where PRvalue = 65535, frequency = 16MHz, and Prescalar = 256. However, the real time value I always end up with is 0. From the screenshot in the imgur image, it seems like the result is always 0 because currTime and finalTime are always close to each other, and I cannot represent very small numbers because of the limited number of bits used to represent values.
What is the issue here? As the Imgur link shows, my sensor is sending back signals after I set a 10uS pulse on trigger, and when putting a breakpoint in my input capture ISR, the program correctly stops inside of it. That means this isnt a hardware issue but instead an issue with how I am calculating time.
Here is the minimally working example of my code:
#include "xc.h" #include  bool stopMotion = 0; volatile unsigned long int currTime = 0; volatile unsigned long int finalTime = 0; volatile unsigned long int overflowtmr = 0; volatile unsigned long int distanceThreshold = 1; void setup(){ CLKDIVbits.RCDIV = 0; TRISBbits.TRISB4 = 1; //input for echo TRISBbits.TRISB5 = 0; //output for trig LATBbits.LATB5 = 0; //IC1 setup IC1CONbits.ICTMR = 0; //timer 3 IC1CONbits.ICM = 1; //PPS for IC1 __builtin_write_OSCCONL(OSCCON & 0xbf);// unlock PPS RPINR7bits.IC1R = 4; // RP4 (pin 11) __builtin_write_OSCCONL(OSCCON 0x40); // lock PPS T3CON = 0; TMR3 = 0; T3CONbits.TCKPS = 3; _T3IF = 0; PR3 = 65535; T3CONbits.TON = 1; IFS0bits.T3IF = 0; IEC0bits.T3IE = 1; IPC2bits.T3IP = 5; IFS0bits.IC1IF = 0; IEC0bits.IC1IE = 1; IPC0bits.IC1IP = 5; } void __attribute__((interrupt, auto_psv)) _IC1Interrupt(){ IFS0bits.IC1IF = 0; if(PORTBbits.RB4 == 1){ currTime = TMR3 + 65536*overflowtmr; } else{ finalTime = TMR3 + 65536*overflowtmr; overflowtmr = 0; TMR3 = 0; finalTime = (finalTime - currTime)*(256)/(16000000); volatile unsigned long int distance = finalTime/58; if(distance <= distanceThreshold) stopMotion = 1; else stopMotion = 0; } } void __attribute__((interrupt, auto_psv)) _T3Interrupt(){ IFS0bits.T3IF = 0; overflowtmr++; } void delay_ms(unsigned int ms){ while(ms-- > 0){ asm("repeat #15999"); asm("nop"); } } void delay_10us(void){ int i = 10; while(i-- > 0){ asm("repeat #3"); asm("nop"); } } void sendTrig(){ LATBbits.LATB5 = 1; delay_10us(); LATBbits.LATB5 = 0; } int main(void) { setup(); while(1){ sendTrig(); delay_ms(2000); } }

2024.05.14 05:32 smthngwyrd All in one email, text and phone service?? I’m confused

I’m running into an issue with Alma and Headway. Neither Alma nor Headway have releases of information in the EHR. Both companies say they are working on it. I see a lot of people paying for an outside EHR and Alma is already $125 a month.
I’ve seen lots of different companies offering different products like secure messaging and email in separate platforms. Spruce seems to be affordable for calls and texting. I’ve seen some like Hippimail, etc. Dokbot.io was recommended by headway to send ROI pdfs but there is no way to fill them out online . I usually like to send pdfs that have skill sheets etc. Spruce lets you show pdf photos but you can’t fill them out online
Is there a product that combines HIPPA compliant email, phone voice mail and being able to send emails??? What do you recommend?

2024.05.14 05:29 GarboQuest Looking for a subreddit for finding sheet music/composers/music

Like, looking for composers of a certain nationality or group, or for asking where one would find sheet music for certain works/composers?
I ask because I'm preparing a list of concert ideas to propose for the community band I'm in, but I want to have a few examples of the kind of music I'm thinking.

2024.05.14 05:16 TrueMetalSmiths Common Mistakes to Avoid During Designing Sheet Metal Parts

Common Mistakes to Avoid During Designing Sheet Metal Parts
Sheet metal fabrication is the process of creating parts and components by cutting, bending, and shaping sheets of metal. The design of sheet metal parts is crucial for their functionality, durability, and manufacturability. However, even experienced designers can make mistakes that can affect the quality and cost-effectiveness of sheet metal fabrication. In this blog, we will discuss some common mistakes to avoid during designing sheet metal parts.

Ignoring Manufacturing Constraints:

One of the most common mistakes in sheet metal design is ignoring manufacturing constraints. Sheet metal parts are made using various processes and equipment that have limitations and requirements that must be considered during design. For example, the thickness of the metal, the size of the bending radius, and the placement of holes and cutouts can affect the performance of the fabrication process.
Ignoring these constraints can result in parts that are difficult or impossible to manufacture. Therefore, it is essential to involve fabricators in the design process and to consider their expertise and feedback.

Not Understanding Material Properties:

Another common mistake is not understanding the material properties of the sheet metal used in the design. Sheet metal comes in different alloys and grades, each with its own mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties. These properties affect the behavior and performance of the parts in various conditions, such as temperature changes, corrosion, and stress.
Therefore, designers must select the right material for the application and consider its properties in the design. For example, using a low-grade metal for a high-stress application can result in deformation or failure of the part.

Inaccurate Measurements and Tolerances:

Accurate measurements and tolerances are crucial for the quality and precision of sheet metal parts. However, many designers make mistakes related to measurements and tolerances, such as not specifying them correctly, not considering the fabricator’s capabilities, or not verifying them during the manufacturing process.
As a result, parts can have incorrect dimensions, misaligned holes, or poor fit and finish. Therefore, designers must be familiar with the measurement units and standards, specify the tolerances clearly, and verify the dimensions during quality control.

Poor Design for Assembly:

Sheet metal parts are often used in assemblies that require multiple components to fit together seamlessly. However, poor design for assembly can lead to difficulties in assembling or disassembling the parts, or even compromising their functionality.
Common mistakes in assembly design include not considering the order of assembly, not providing clearance and access for fasteners, and not aligning mating surfaces properly. Therefore, designers must consider the assembly process as part of the design and ensure that the parts fit together precisely and efficiently.

Lack of Communication with Fabricators:

Finally, lack of communication between designers and fabricators can lead to misunderstandings, delays, and rework in the fabrication process. Designers must provide clear and detailed specifications and drawings that convey their intent and requirements accurately.
Fabricators, on the other hand, must communicate any issues or suggestions regarding the design, materials, or manufacturing process. Therefore, designers must establish a good working relationship with the fabricators and maintain open communication channels throughout the design and fabrication process.

5 Tips for Designing Sheet Metal Parts:

In addition to avoiding common mistakes, there are some best practices and tips that can help designers create better sheet metal parts. These tips include:
  • Keep it simple: Avoid unnecessary features, bends, and cuts that can increase the complexity and cost of the part.
  • Minimize material waste: Use the optimal sheet size and layout to reduce the amount of scrap and leftover material.
  • Use standard features: Utilize standard holes, cutouts, and bends to reduce the cost and lead time of tooling and setup.
  • Consider the aesthetics: Design parts that are visually appealing and consistent with the brand and product design.
  • Test and validate: Use simulation and prototyping tools to verify the performance and manufacturability of the design before production.

New Technologies and Trends in Sheet Metal Design:

The sheet metal fabrication industry is constantly evolving, and new technologies and trends emerge to improve the efficiency, quality, and sustainability of the process. Some of the latest developments in sheet metal design include:
Additive manufacturing: Using 3D printing and other additive technologies to create complex and customized sheet metal parts.
Automated nesting and cutting: Using AI-powered software to optimize the nesting and cutting of sheet metal parts and reduce material waste.
Lightweighting: Designing sheet metal parts that are lighter and more efficient by using advanced materials and geometries.
Sustainability: Designing sheet metal parts that are environmentally friendly and reduce the carbon footprint of the fabrication process.

2024.05.14 05:07 skoldpaddanmann Bedsheet recommendations

Finally upgraded my very cheap terrible bed for a nice adjustable bed. Now that I have a nice bed I'm looking for some sheets to match. Looking for something breathable, soft, durable, and hopefully comes in fun colors/patterns. Not interested in linen or silk, but anything else works if it meets the criteria above. Thanks in advance for recommendations!

2024.05.14 04:54 Liorogamer Upgrade my Video Editing PC After 8 Years (Mini ITX preferred)

Intro: 8 years ago I built a high-end video editing & gaming PC, and I was very into PC hardware at the time. Since then, I stopped paying attention and have no clue what's good and bad these days. I also game way less now.
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.
Video editing mainly. Adobe Premiere Pro, Lightroom, etc. I work with very heavy Excel sheets often as well. Rarely gaming; supporting decent settings for the latest games is a nice-to-have at best.
I'm downsizing from a home to an apartment, so form factor is super important to me. I'm shooting for mini-itx like build, where I can easily pick up the PC and move it around, and that I can fit onto a desk next to my monitor(s) easily.
Should be able to drive 2 4k monitors.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
$2,500 USD
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
Next 1-2 months. Plan to build this by July.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ToweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)
Just the tower. Maybe the OS as well, see below.
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
NYC
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
Monitor keyboard mouse will be reused, just need the tower. I also already have a PC I built and ideally would try to transfer Windows over.
My dream would be to re-use the SSD in my current PC for a relatively seamless transition. Or at least transfer it over to the new generation of NVMe ones (I have a 1TB samsung evo rn with a 4TB HDD that I'll get rid of).
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
Not beyond any recommended profiles. I care more about small form factor and quiet than eeking out 5-10% more performance.
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
Would like to have 64 GB of DDR5 RAM. I've noticed RAM being a bottleneck for me given my workflow. I have 32GB DDR4 right now.
What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.
Motherboard should have built in WiFi.
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-towefull-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
Minimal is ideal. No LED lighting please. I would like it to be small, so mini ITX or a very small micro ATX type of situation.
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?
Maybe, see above.

2024.05.14 04:43 Rorschach_81 How to deal with (jerk) neighbour?

Some preliminary info:
My mum and I have lived in our townhouse for over 10 years. During that time, we have constructed planter boxes that are set on our driveway (we don't own a car, so we use the space for that). For many years my mother has carried out her hobby of gardening there. We received new neighbors approximately 1.5 years ago. For the longest time, they would be throwing parties that would leak over to the AMs of the next day, as well as do renovations. While being understanding, it got to a point where my mum couldn't take the noise anymore at night. After numerous attempts to contact our new neighbours to decrease the noise of their parties, she finally made a noise complaint to a city. Parties started to occur less frequently.
THEN came the REALLY noisy stuff. The majority of my neighbors' renovation was to finish the basement. It was during this time when OUR house would start to shake at times. Aside from the fact that this distracted my mum from doing her (remote) job, it drew a concern as to what could possibly be happening in their basement that would cause OUR house to shake. Again, she reached out to them numerous times, with vague answers. And again my mother filed an anonymous complaint.
Turned out, they did not have the permits for the type of construction they were doing in the basement. They got super-peeved at us, as they now were delayed and had to spend a bit more money.
Anyways, fast forward to 1.5 months ago, I'm helping mum with gardening stuff. The male neighbor (of the couple) decides to approach us. He decides to "apologize" and be the "bettebigger person". Following his apology though, he makes a complaint about one of our planter boxes, the one that borders the property line between us. He says that some of the wood pieces are falling off/poking out onto his property (fair, though my mum reckons he purposely took some of the pieces of, but that's speculation). He decides to give us an ultimatum: either move the planter box more onto our property (an inch our two, but with soil and wood, probably weighs a ton, so not happening), repair the boards, or destroy it. Otherwise he will complain to the city that the planter box is on his property. So.... he's still a little butthurt that we complained to the city of his actions, and wants to have something over us.
But my mum remained positive. Understanding that the outer pieces of the planter box ARE weathered (some scrap 2x4s, some decent pieces of wood), she set out to buy sheets of new plywood that would be weather-proofed, and would replace those pieces after I took them out and drilled the sheets in.
This evening we were measuring the dimensions of the planter box to figure out what lengths I would need to cut the plywood. To make one of these measurements, we had to step into our neighbors' driveway. He saw what we were doing, and asked us to get of his property. We explained what we were doing, to which he responded "unless YOU have a permit to do this, the only thing you can do is destroy it, otherwise I'll be filing my own complaints" (not verbatim, but that was the gist of it). My mum and him at a little tiff, but I got the last of the measurements for us to then leave his driveway.
I am not a confrontational person; I'm not good at aggression or telling strangers to fuck off. But I do not like the fact that I have this intimidating dude trying to scare my old mum and threatening her to destroy something she's worked years on. Furthermore, I have the following contentions:
Anyways, I think we'll try our best to fix up the box as efficiently as we can. We won't be covert about it, but to avoid the neighbors yelling at us again, not gonna loudly advertise it. Just drill out screws, take pieces out, and drill in a big sheet. But does anyone want to chime in on what rights I have if this guy calls the cops on us or makes a scene? Again, we're doing this at HIS request, and he's making it difficult to do. Or if you believe there is bias on my part, feel free to point it out! Free to answer questions as well. Hope I was able to get my points across. Any law stuff would help also!
