I'm building a 57x22" kitchen unit to stick inside a camper van. I have the skeleton of the unit and I planned on throwing plywood on the back and sides to provide stability. The back and sides will be visible however and I was hoping some one could lead me in the right direction to make them presentable. Should I get a finished plywood, attach it to the skeleton and then cover the screws with strips of molding, or should I get rough plywood and glue a thinner finished sheet over the rough one? is there a best practice?

About 4 months ago, I was promoted to Finance Manager at a rural Hyundai dealer that's currently pacing 25-30 cars in a month, and the payplan at this store is one of the worst in the industry I'm told by colleagues in the industry in different markets. I work 55-60 hours per week, and make less than I did as a salesperson. Even if I was to max out our payplan and run $2500 per copy I'm looking at $80-85k per year, which isn't bad by any means at all, but selling cars I was on pace to do about that or a tad more.
Tomorrow, I have an interview at a dealership that is doing about 120-130 units per month, and their FI guys are pacing $175k-225k this year.
I think this is the next logical step in advancing my career in the industry, I told my GM today about what I plan to do tomorrow and it turns out he's good friends with some of the management at this dealer group, and put in a good recommendation for me.
We'll see how it goes!

Extra info or particulars:

My daughter is 3.5, I love her and she is driving me absolutely insane.
There was no switch at 2, or 3, her behavior has just slowly been ramping up over the past yeayear and a half. She is constantly demanding “her” music, “her” shows, screaming no at her baby brother, screaming no at the dog, and giving conditional affection to mom and dad depending on how much we are willing to give her her way.
She screams and clings to me every day (3 days a week) when I drop her off at daycare. I haven’t been able to give her baby brother any attention at drop off because the morning is spent trying to get her settled without too much drama about being dropped off. So the daycare teacher requested trying something new, setting the expectation that I will walk her in, give her a big hug and kiss and turn around and leave. So yeah, still no time to tend to baby brother who is also going through separation anxiety.
I pick her up today, play “her” songs on the way home (Taylor Swift). She’s jamming, we’re talking about her day, I’m telling her I’m so proud of her for being a big girl at school. Come home, make dinner while we’re still listening to Taylor Swift. She refuses dinner. Pizza bread, zucchini, and applesauce. Says she doesn’t feel good and wants cheerios. I check her throat, it looks red, maybe she isn’t feeling well, give her cheerios. She requests to watch some TV. We watch “her” show (Scooby Doo). Time for bed. Fights brushing her teeth. Screams bloody murder when I try to brush her hair. I finally lost my shit and yelled at her to knock her shit off before she wakes her brother up. Take her upstairs and finish brushing her hair while she’s SCREAMING.
I apologize for losing my patience with her. Ask her if she wants a hug. She says no and wants me to leave her room. Requests daddy to read to her and stay in her room for bedtime. I leave feeling sad and guilty, and knowing that I get to do it all over again tomorrow starting with a horrific daycare drop off.
This is mostly just a rant but also is she acting this way because we are just spoiling the shit out of her? I only work 3 days a week. The other days we usually have something planned, swim, gymnastics, lots of outside time now that the weather is getting better. I go back and forth between “this is normal” and “this gentle parenting shit is bullshit and my child is spoiled and needs much firmer boundaries”. I never was the type to sleep train or withhold meals if they’re not willing to eat what I made and stuff like that but I’m starting to question my methods.

My wife and I will be visiting for four nights over the first week of June. Can anyone share the type of weather they’d typically expect during that timeframe? When planning this trip I used 2022 as a reference (~84F avg highs)…but am realizing that may have been atypically hot and fear the air and/or water temps may be too cold to enjoy the beaches...is this the case?
Thank you!

I'm getting two ipod classic A1238 (6th gen I assume) with hold button replacement required or one ipod 7th gen (assumed as it looks thin but can't tell) that might need a battery replacement.
I want to use Rockbox and explore the linux side of things. I don't plan on reselling them.
Which one should I consider?

There is more to it than the title. I was engaged to be married to a woman I was with for almost four years. In our last year together, she pretty much treated me like a ghost, ignoring messages, not wanting to go on dates, and the last straw was blocking me on social media. I did everything to keep the relationship alive, working long hours, going to visit her in her city every month, trying to talk to her, but she kept pushing me away. Eventually our last conversation was over the phone, at night, and her last words to me were "I don't love you now," "I am seeing someone else," and "I need you to back off." This was after Valentine’s Day, after a hard day of work, after I sent her a valentine gift. I was devastated and pretty much cursed out God, blamed the world, blamed myself for the relationship ending after I did everything I could to keep it. To this day I have doubt I am worthy to be a child of God, that I failed my family, I failed myself, and I failed at life. I was severely depressed for a long time. I am still depressed, but I have a better handle on it now.
A few months after the relationship ended, I have mixed feelings of love and hate towards my ex. I cannot forgive her, no matter how hard I tried. I have tried deeply and daily to forgive her, but I do not believe I can. I have not spoken to her since Feb 2023. I have blocked her on all social media. The only way she can contact me is by email, letter, or by going to my parents’ home. I have already told myself, if she ever wants to talk to me, it must be in person, no other way. I will not talk to people solely through social media anymore, it must be face to face or on an actual voice call (no voice messages) if we live in the same city.
In June 2023, I move to China and am working as an English teacher. I wanted to get far away from the past and I did. My family are supportive of my decision.
In July 2023, I met this sweet and intelligent woman through a language exchange app. We simply wanted to help each other practice English, Spanish, and Chinese. After a week or so she asked to have dinner with me as friends and I thought nothing of it. I was still recovering from the last relationship and wanted nothing to do with a new one. She chose a cool restaurant, had a bar, Mexican food, and great drinks. I expected the meetup to be about 30 minutes. It ended up being 3 hours. We had no idea that time flew quickly. The conversation we had was fun. The day we had dinner was the last day I was staying in her city, I had to move to another Chinese city in China for work. I never stopped thinking about her.
Few months pass by and its December 2023. I told myself “Screw it." I went online and ordered a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to her home. Once the order was made, I thought nothing of it and continued my routines for the next few days. The flowers were going to be delivered on Christmas. Christmas is not a big holiday in China. I got anxious as the day got closer. I thought “what am I doing? I only met her once in person, we are language partners, I live in a different city, she and I are full time workers… blah blah blah.” At this point there was nothing I could do; I could not cancel the order. Christmas day comes, its dinner time, I am chilling with other foreigners, and I got a notification from the woman saying, “thank you for the flowers, they are beautiful.” I asked if we could chat, and she said of course. I do not know what came over me, I was scared but I wanted to be honest with her.
She told me “This is not a gift for a friend.” I responded in honesty “I have been thinking about you since the night we had dinner and I want to know if you could give me the chance to impress you and become your partner.” She said, “I had been waiting for you to do that, I do not know if it is romantic, but I do like you and would like to know you more.” This was a great feeling. I was happy and thankful. I thanked God and myself for doing it.
We met up a few weeks ago in her city and we had a wonderful dinner, we spent the entire day together, talking, walking, exchanging ideas, enjoying each other’s company. We even challenged each other to be healthier. Next time I see her, I must do 30 pushups and she has to do 1 pushup (not fair, but if I win, she has to ride a bike with me around a park). We have given each other cute nicknames; she calls me “Winnie the Pooh” and I call her “Honey.” She asked me why I call her “Honey” and I told her because, “Winnie the Pooh likes Honey.”
We kept our language exchange schedule, and we understand that we are both busy with work and taking this relationship slow is good for us. She has told me multiple times that she wants me in her city. Whether she wants me or not, I have always planned to go back to that city. The weather is nice, there are more things to do, it’s closer to other major cities.
There are so many times I want to talk to her, but the fear and past experiences shake me to the core. I TRULY want to talk to her, about anything. Hearing and listening to her speak about her passions and hobbies is joyous to me. We always exchange ideas in our weekly exchanges. I do not want to say, “I love her,” I am too scared to say that. However, I want her as my girlfriend. I just do not know what to do to overcome this fear and progress our relationship further.
Note: If anyone is wondering, yes, she is Chinese. I am American but my appearance is Hispanic.

I am the oldest daughter of 3 in a Mexican household. I have good grades, I’m student body president at my college, I work 2 jobs and pay my own bills. I’ve always done what my parents ask me to basically. The only things I do that they don’t like is not cleaning my room and having a boyfriend. I rarely have time to clean since I’m so busy with school and work and as for my boyfriend they don’t like him because he is shorter than me and because he lives an hour away from me. Now for the infantiliziaton part they don’t trust me when I’m out with my boyfriend. We have been dating for 3 years now and I am not allowed to drive to him because it’s wrong for a girl to drive herself for a man and I’m not allowed to go over to his house or sleepover because what will people say? I am planning on attending a uni 1 hour away after finishing my Associates in the fall and my parents are looking into houses in that area so I can still stay with them and be safe .Secondly when I bring up anything they make fun of me by speaking in a baby tone like recently I brought up how I want to be treated more like an adult by driving myself to a university transfer day 1 hour away and my mother was freaking out saying how I don’t have experience driving far away ( I’ve had my license for 4 years now) and how I was going to get into an accident and that she should go with me just to be safe. Any problem I have with them they just chop it up to me being ungrateful or immature.The whole point of this post is basically what can I do to make my parents have more trust in me and let go of their leash on me. Sorry if this post doesn’t make sense I’m just very emotional rn

TLDR: Made the Dean's list for the first time in my life, landed my first paid internship, and swapped majors.
Hey y'all! I am a former physics major with a concentration in Astronomy/Astrophysics who just completed his first semester of Earth Science courses in college.
At the end of the of JY Fall 2023 semester. I was sitting at a 2.75 GPA and my physics advisor reminded me that I didn't have a minor for my degree and recommended I try out Earth Science. So I randomly signed up for a 3000 level course and a 4000 level. Severe Weather and Global Environmental Change, respectively.
Now for some reason, I wasnt prevented or warned about registering for those classes as they both had their own individuals pre-reqs.
Despite this, I ended the semester with my highest GPA in my college career, a 3.95. Only getting an A- in my Astrophysics course.
The two Earth Sciences I took this semester pretty much changed my life for the better. I have made friends and connections with many more professors and even began lab work now, and have a paid internship this summer (my first ever). I also secured a job fall semester working as a lab assistant for a professor I met through my 4000 level class.
Switching majors did of course set me back, but I have been told, I should easily be able to test out of the 1000 and 2000 level courses that I was supposed to take already.
I went from being an average student in the physics department and somewhat hating my education process to now going storm chasing with my professor. I'm sure some of you know that getting an internship of any kind can be competitive, and with our physics department, it was almost a name game or whoever had the highest grades. And as an average transfer student, I in no way had either.
Anyways, I just wanted to share with you guys my conversion story and how much happier I am now making the discovery of my passion for the natural Sciences. Do you guys have any similar stories?

Effective asset scheduling, monitoring, and maintenance are necessary for a smooth rail operation. Scheduled maintenance causes downtime, which lowers asset productivity. Owing to the low success rate of manual maintenance, this downtime is further prolonged. Rail authorities place a strong emphasis on condition-based and predictive maintenance solutions to increase efficiency and decrease time consumption. By assisting with timely asset scheduling and monitoring, these solutions reduce downtime. In addition, a major growth-inducing aspect is the growing requirement for profitability enhancement, operational cost reduction, passenger safety, and railway management system optimization to drive the growth of the market.

Hello! I brought a person's collection that they were selling. I know it's risky but in the event this isn't a massive scam, it would be my first MTG cards. I've been told I HAVE to sleeve them but I'm not sure which ones to get. Is there a brand that is recommended or is the Amazon special fine? I plan on just making decks with the cards I like and if there happens to be something that's worth anything (which I doubt ) I'll probably get it graded or just preserve it. Is there a set of sleeves that are both good for collecting and playing? Any advice would be AMAZING.

I am 36 years old. I don't have any friends. I haven't been in a relationship in two years. I don't make as much money as I would like. I am have a really slow recovery from a tonsillectomy and I am just having a hard time getting myself motivated to do anything.
I had one pretty good friend, an ex, and we went on a platonic trip together in March. I had a really good time and generally enjoyed myself. Got to see Chichen Itza and get some fun in at the cenotes and beach. Since then we haven't hung out though. In her texts she said the guy she has been seeing is moving out of town in a few months so she is spending time with him. She has dated him off and on for 20+ years and this has never been an issue before so I do feel like some of this is also just fatigue of hanging out with me. We didn't get in any fights on the trip but it did show we have much different priorities/personalities. She brought her dogs, they go everywhere with her, and one is incontinent so it was dictating quite a bit of our schedule but I am pretty used to this so I felt like I handled it fairly well. I also do think some of this is her boyfriend not wanting us to hangout, which is understandable. I just said No worries and we haven't talked since. She didn't message me on my birthday, but I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't remember. We have been hanging out regularly for 2-3 years so it is a bit of a hit, but it was something that felt ultimately was going to happen so I am not mad, just a little sad. I haven't hung out with anyone other than my dad since the middle of March though.
Just hurts to not have anyone to hangout with at all. I have talked to two coworkers and one of them has bailed on me multiple times and the other just said he was too busy to make any plans in the first place. I have done meetups in the past but I always just feel so awkward not knowing anyone and I am awful at initiating contact with anyone, guys or girls. I also just don't really have that many interests, even though I tend to enjoy most things I do. I own a dirt bike but haven't gotten out to use it because it is really hard to load by myself and I am just not that confident with it. And if I am doing anything alone without somebody else keeping me accountable I tend to just blow it off. I have also tried Bumble BFF but honestly was so turned off by it. I kept on getting hit on, creepy af, and it just feels awkward.
I feel like I am bad at making friends because I am not very personable and also tend to overshare and say stupid things just because I haven't talked to anyone in so long it is just kind of like a dam bursts.
I would like to get back into judo or jujitsu, but with college and my mortgage I am barely squeaking by financially, and 200+ a month is a little too much for me. I even canceled my cable plan to save some money for bills despite loving basketball. I also don't really have enough energy for active hobbies due to my tonsillectomy right now.
I work full time and am taking college classes at the same time. I was never the best student, but I have finished 9 computer science courses and a statistics class over the last 2.5 years. I have 5 classes left for my bachelors and am on course to graduate Spring 2025. Straight A's and one B+ so far so I have been really happy with my grades, but the industry has completely fallen apart over the last year or two and I am worried that after investing all this time and money into going back to college I might not be able to get a job. The best student I know wasn't able to land a single internship this summer and that really shocked me. He is an amazing programmer, better than anyone I know.
Because I have a mortgage on a little duplex I cannot really afford to do an internship to try and help my job prospects, I am going to really have to rely on doing well in the interviews. I am also planning on trying to take advantage of the career fairs and other on-campus opportunities next fall but that is so not my comfort zone that I don't want to set my expectations really.
With how busy I am it has also been a great excuse for myself to not pursue more social outlets and the only thing I do for dating is online apps and while I can get the occasional date I don't think I have ever actually had a real connection through it. I am just bad at connecting with people on a personal level, be it friends or dates. I have been on so many first dates it is kind of depressing. The town I live in isn't small, like 150k, but I feel like I am running low on options after years of failures.
I had been suffering from chronic tonsillitis over the last year. I had 5 bouts in total, three of which were back to back episodes from January to March this year. I got a tonsillectomy on April 20 and am still having problems swallowing food. I am basically still on a puree diet.
Getting the tonsillectomy was a real eye opener for me because with my ex not being a contact anymore I didn't have anyone to rely on so I had to have my father fly out and spend a week with me. I didn't have any friends to rely on and it really just kind of hit me how depressing my life is. All of my old high school friends, who I don't keep up with, have families.
The one thing I had going for me is that I had a decent physique. Due to a lack of a social life I was pretty good at going to the gym and lifting regularly. I was 6'1 and 180-185 pounds, nothing impressive but I was happy with myself. I am down to 160 pounds now since my tonsillectomy though and I am just extremely low energy all the time. My summer class started today and I am having a lot of issues just focusing after an 8-hour work day, even though I only work remotely on a computer.
During COVID I really made leaps and bounds to improve myself. I quit cigarettes after 15 years, I started going back to class. Got my own place and gained 40 pounds (in a good way) but after losing half of that weight and generally being miserable from my tonsillectomy it is just so hard to motivate myself to even go to the gym anymore and for 3 years I never had a problem getting off my butt to go to the gym, even if it was just for a mediocre lifting session.
I used to love playing video games and watching tv shows/movies but now I just find myself mindlessly watching youtube or reading and don't even have the attention span or interest in booting up a video game anymore or trying to find a show or movie to watch.
I always wanted a family, but I have never really had a successful relationship in my life and now since my tonsillectomy I have become a lot less sexually motivated than before. I don't even have the urge to masturbate anymore, and sex was never a strong point of mine in the first place, leading me to believe it will be even worse moving forward. I also just have never connected with somebody on like a really deep level and feel like years of failures/insecurity just kind of burden me a this point. And I am getting to the age now where I feel like I am almost beyond the point where this is still possible. It is weird telling somebody I am 36 and my longest relationship was only 4 months long.
I feel like I am on the right track on paper with only one year left until I graduate and I kind of really want to move even though I love where I live just so I can get a fresh start, but at the same time I am terrified I will graduate and just be in the same situation I am currently in. I also could never afford to buy another place without a better salary. The only reason I was able to afford what I currently have is because I bought during the 2020 market and got a 2.34% APR. But even with that my mortgage is close to 40% of my take home right now and I have one of the cheapest places in town.
I don't really have anyone to vent to or destress to so I just wanted to post something from a throwaway account. My dad has been texting me daily because I think he realizes how unhappy I am and I really appreciate that.
I have been wanting to go see some Nuggets games at the bar, but I still cannot drink alcohol until I am eating food again so I have just been following highlights on youtube. I also have never been a fan of hanging out at bars. I enjoy shooting pool but I am not good at social settings like that.
I will leave it at this for now. A very long, poorly formatted ramble. But I have seen much worse. Thanks.

To put this short, my friend stayed over for about a month and treated me and my mom with no respect she refused to clean and just trashed my room about three days in I found out she had lice and it was very clear that she knew after that my mom spent around $200 on lice treatment and cleaning supplies I then combed thru her hair for 6 hours. her mom did not offer to pay for anything. she’s been treating me really badly because she’s talking to a boy who confessed his love to me and said he want to pop my cherry. I told her that he said that and she did not care. I’ve gotten multiple arguments with her about it and there’s just no emotion. She hasn’t been in school since sixth grade, her grammar is terrible she doesn’t know how to have conversations I haven’t had a serious conversation with her in two years, their house is infested with bugs and it’s dirty. she’s planning to come back and I just can’t do it. She doesn’t care about my feelings and she thinks she’s better than me because she was raised in poverty. I honestly don’t know if I can be friends with her anymore. There’s so much more I could say I just can’t fit.

Since I’m planning to pull RM on her upcoming rerun, I wanna ask if having a fully built RM would provide more damage for my E0 Acheron? Because as of now the only two Nihility units that I run with her are Pela and Guinaifen. My Gui isn’t really built and the only thing she does is apply her sunkiss to make my Acheron gain an ult stack.

I apologize if this post violates the SPAM rule. The spirit of this idea is not self-promotion but documentation. I understand if the mods don't want to allow this to stay up, however.
I maintain a website and a newsletter about the natural world. Like many others here, the eclipse was a major goal and a transcendent experience. The visceral, physical experience was matched only by sharing the happening with my family and loved ones. Reading everyone's tales afterward led me to understand that it wasn't just the sun and the moon but the planning, the travel, and being next to others as the magic transpired.
I would like to create a historical document of the experiences people had across North America. Photos, videos, and written accounts. If you're interested in telling your story, I'd love to preserve it. Where did you see the eclipse? From where did you drive/fly/walk? With whom did you watch? How was the weather? What was the experience like from your perspective? How do you feel after the fact? Anything notable about your eclipse would be fantastic.
If you'd like to participate, think about how you'd like to present yourself. First name/last name. First name/last initial. Internet handle. Whatever name you'd like. If you're comfortable with presenting your age, that might be interesting to posterity, as well. Photos and videos would be preferred in a non-compressed manner (aka - not over Reddit).
Please try to limit your tale to 1,000 maximum, but feel free to express yourself in as few words as you like.
I'm going to leave the website and an email address to which you can send stories in the comments. Feel free to send me a direct message on Reddit with any questions or concerns.
Looking forward to reading what you come up with!

Hey guys, last time we went to Europe and had to kill time outside Schengen we got some great recommendations from Reddit - so I’m back for (hopefully) some more great advice.
We’ll finish 90 Schengen days (we are American) in early January of 2025. We’ll need to kill 3 months before going back in. We were thinking of doing an Eastern European country (ideally to do some snowboarding but open to other suggestions as well, picturesque cities/towns, fun things to do during the winter, etc). We are thinking of flying from there to Morocco (mainly for the weather) before doing Ireland and then heading back into Schengen.
Really looking for winter advice here. We also travel a bit differently, we both work remotely so our ideal spot is somewhere central enough that we can take a quick walk for any groceries and can enjoy the neighborhood/local area during the week - with bigger things planned for the weekends. Being able to snowboard during the week would be awesome. No car, so it can be tough to get around. First time in Eastern Europe, and have heard public transportation is not the same as the rest of Europe. It seems our options are either a ski in/ski out spot on a mountain (meaning we’re probably in the middle of nowhere and it’ll be fairly expensive) or goto a city that will probably be boring overall due to the weather and try to get out to a mountain for a day trip, which sounds less than ideal.
Any places you would recommend?
Thanks!
