How do y’all approach name placement on a belt when it’s a single word? For example, would I tool “RUELAS” directly on the middle back? Wouldn’t the middle belt loop block the middle of the name? Is there something else that y’all do or is this is how it’s normally done? If I were to put two names like “ALEJANDRO” and “RUELAS”, I understand I could offset them a bit by putting the first name on the back left between loops and the last name between the loops to the right.

I met my twin flame in August. She had a boyfriend, and was moving to New York with him in December. But as soon as we were in the same room our eyes were locked onto each other, and we magnetized to each other until she ended the romance because she was moving to New York with him and I cut off all contact because I knew I could never be "friends" with the person I wanted spend my life with. So while she was the one that asked me to stop bringing her flowers, poems, and gifts, I am the one that said don't text or contact each other well never speak again. Sometimes I regret saying that but it felt like it was the right thing to say then so oh well.
Now it has been 6 months (we stopped talking in November). I am still just as in love with her now as I was then. I reject every girl that comes into my life because they don't compare (if I found someone who made me feel this way I would date them, but nobody has). It feels like the universe has not brought me a new person, but also not letting me move on. I think about her constantly. Dream about her. I still make gifts for her and dedicate artwork and all of my accomplishments to her. I know what I want.
My question is this. What do I do? I have paid attention to the twin flame journey. I am in therapy. I am focusing on improving myself and healing. I am looking inside and understanding who I am and how I relate to the world. But that doesn't change the fact that she is the girl I love and I want to be with her. I could reach out to her. I don't think I would change her mind (we have been no contact since November 28). She seems to have dived deeper into the 3d to avoid acknowledging the connection we share. So I know better than to think I can change that. But I hate this feeling of no agency, of being powerless and dreaming of a reconnection.
I want to surrender. i read about the people who have and I'm jealous. I've tried to surrender actively and passively. I ground myself in nature and try to reconnect with my inner child. But I feel completely powerless because this need for her almost feels like its happening to me. I fear that I will never move on. I know that I will either move on, she will come back, or I wont move on. I hope that she comes back. Does it make sense to not try to reconnect and just let her be? Does it make sense to never reach out and let her come back to me only? I feel very overwhelmed and like I don't have the tools to ever make sense of what happened to me in the fall.
TLDR: I have been 6 months no contact with my TF, and am considering reaching out just to tell her I still feel the same way. That feels like a lack of self respect. Looking for guidance on how to move forward.

I have been playing RuneScape since 2006, and I love the game. I just always hated these 2 things, that I always forgot to bring stuff like: Hammer, knife, etc. with me and always had to return for them to the bank and make a second trip. And the fact that I need so many items to teleport to important cities in the game. My dilema is that I like Osrs, and I really don't like rs3, but rs3 has these 2 things that I always wanted since I started playing. My question is: Is there a reason why these 2 systems are not implemented in Osrs? Do people think this will ruin the game? Do other people feel the same about this? I have been only playing rs3 because of these 2 systems.

Hi all,
As we all know a lot of backlash has happened on the wave of unwanted NERFS on weapons taking the fun away that made this game fun at launch. I hope you don't only focus on the Polar Warbond Assault riffles only...
There are older Warbonds that DEF need tweaking with their weapons.

• Def refert some of the nerfs on the Eruptor this gun supposed to be hard hitter. Many other primaries can kill elite units in seconds or a one shot while the Eruptor needs 3 shots to kill just one louzy elite unit. In the meantime most other primaries NOT only killed one elite unit but numerous ones + some troopers at it with just one clip and in a MUCH faster rate. Remember: "Single Bolt Action SLOW reload" = ONE grace and that is HARD HITTER! Should ONE shot Striders, Berserkers (belly), Devestators (crutch/belly) for all its bothersome cons its only fair. You have to compare the kill rate of most other primaries with the Eruptor to see the injustice. Plus please increase its accuraccy and bullet/grenade velocity right now its way to slow to be branded as a "sniper" because of the AMR scope on it. Even Twinbeard adressed the rather weakened state of the Eruptor. It should ONE shot certain enemies period.
• Slugger should get it's stagger back. Its not a full auto shotgun every shot needs to be on point it was fun using this shotgun that is accurate and the added perk ie stagger made this a wothwile warbond PREMIUM!

What is it with Anti Material Rifle and the newly Heavy Machine Gun with a pay attention here "A BIPOD" that makes absolutely no sense since it does NOTHING! In real war a belt fed machine gun with a BIPOD will DECREASE its recoil by about 90% i played simulator war games and Arma 3 comes pretty close. Without BIPOD the recoil is INSANE. But while being proned + BIPOD there is hardly any recoil felt and thus makes the heavy macnine gun very accurate even at 500m! Right now the BIPOD is just for fantasy show it SHOULD HAVE A FUNCTION! I think this PASSIVE buff to the heavy machine gun will be loved by the community!
On the Anti Material Rifle when proned the BIPOD should cause ZERO SWAY like ZERO increasing its accuracy by a noticeable amount! That to would be very nice addition.
Maybe a slight buff on the "Jetpack" compare it to other backpacks those have far more utility ie guard dog killing enemies or shield backpack etc etc. I feel like the cooldown on the Jetpack is TO MUCH i would say a 10 sec cooldown is good enough instead of the 20 sec. Also give it a slight higher jump ie from 5 meter max i think to 6 or 7 meter would be nice. Or....give it a couple of seconds of "Hover" with the ability to AIM with weapons/grenades call ins! This would be so much fun!
Improve VAULTING this one is frustrating!
Tone down the rag dolling by a lot nothing fun about this aspect at all...
Improve reload right now it''s weird many adressed this already.
And more versatility in planets maybe fighting in cities or even INSIDE a GIGANTIC indoor base (this can be an issue with call ins...?) And tone down the fog/mist pls...
I know this game can be fun but reason people leaving is its getting boring AND certain loadouts that people have FUN with are being nerfed! Take into account these people who PUT time and effort to get to know their weapon ins and outs and then realize it was a waste of time...Some people prefer one weapon let them have that joy.
The game has so many nice stuff it reminds me a bit of Mass Effect 3 coop what a NICE NICE game that was for years and years! Consider the community feedback what they want. No one is asking to tone down difficulty challenge but do give option and tools to deal with the treaths!
As you already planned: Customazition on weapons ie different scopes or mag size or barrels, silencers, different type of ammo size and properties ie armor piercing rounds or explosive rounds (can be bought with either medals or something else...?) custom colors on armor or complete different bonus on armor sets like for an sniper ie maybe a cloak? etc etc...This would make the game way more fun because NOW people can min/max or make their dream build!!...Specifically for their setup/loadout now that would be COOL!! And do get rid of certain people who only want to make the game UNFUN within AH! Not gonna name name(s) but i think you know who the community is talking about!

After playing League for ~3 years I decided to stop and learn a new game and now have been playing Dota for about 8 months. As I've been learning I've been comparing and contrasting them, and I felt like writing up my thoughts.
I'm not a high ranked player; I was emerald in League and I don't really played ranked in dota. It doesn't matter, since this post isn't about tactics/strategy or how to win-- I'm just talking about the differences between the mechanics of the two games and their clients.
Disclaimer, this is all about Soloqueue. Pro play is a different environment and many things are different. I'm just talking about the average player's experience.
In League's favor:

• Better lore. It's not a contest really. League's champions all have names and stories that are placed front and center, whereas Dota heroes are more like archetypes than individuals with distinct identities. Instead they're known by a description of what they are, while their "real names" are kind of buried in half-assed bio summaries and infrequently referenced. There's a dude called "Anti-Mage." There's a dude on a bat and his name is Batrider. There's nothing in Dota to compare with the hype lore media Riot produces, like the fiddlesticks rework video or the 10 min yone/yasuo video. Champion lore just gets way more money put into it in League.
  
• League has WAYYYYY better champion animations and ability visual designs. This is for me where League blows Dota out of the water. There's really just nothing in Dota that feels like Jhin, or Ekko, or Aphelios, or Senna, or so many others. With rare exception, almost all the champions in league have aspects that FEEL amazing - great sound design / animations / feedback delays that are incredibly rewarding. Dota's heros are really fun to play and I'm having a great time, but if you put them side by side with like 90% of League's cast, the animations of their abilities and movements just feel kinda flat by comparison. One of the easiest side-by-sides is Darius vs Dota's hero "Axe" -- he has the same ult as darius, completely identical except for darius ult's interaction with passive. But all Axe does for his ult visually is a little hop and swing of the axe. It's really lame. Compare that to the awesome sound of a Darius ult kill, with the fear, especially on the God-King skin, and it makes Dota look 20 years old.
  
• Skillshots! In Dota most abilities are just unit targeted, so they can't miss. There are skillshots too, but they're far fewer. In league skillshots are kind of the norm, and aiming them and dodging them is a big part of the game and it's fun to do so and makes you feel cool when you land them or dodge them. Having nearly everything be unit targeted isn't bad, it's just different, but it is something I enjoy a lot in League.
  
• Cooler duels in league, and more of them. Dueling is a big part of league and it doesn't seem to be such a big part of Dota except maybe a bit in mid. Everyone in Dota has teleport (instead of recall), and it only has like a 1 minute cooldown. So whenever a fight starts, people teleport in and it becomes a teamfight. There's only one 1v1 lane (mid), the other two are 2v2 lanes. So there's much less of the 1v1 culture of League where people get to solo each other and take pride in the results. The lack of skillshots in dota plays into this too, since landing or dodging skillshots can definitively contribute to the outcome of a duel. With that mechanic less prominent, statchecking is a bit more common.
  
• Very little 1v9 potential in Dota by comparison. Dota has FARRRRRR more CC than league, it's not even close. League feels like it has no CC compared to dota. In dota there is an item anyone can buy that silences a point-and-click target for 5 seconds, and another that polymorphs for 3 seconds, and so on. Many such items. There's a support who can root you for 4 seconds AND polymorph you for 3, and a carry who can silence you for FIFTEEN SECONDS with his ult. In such an environment, no one person can solo carry a game most of the time. You HAVE to work with your team. So if you love 1v9ing, League wins hard on that. But at the same time this can be a negative for league - it means there's more ego and less teamwork. People in dota are by default much more inclined to work together, because in the face of such powerful tools they HAVE to.
  
• Recalling isn't a thing in Dota, which means the game is kind of constantly pedal-to-the-metal. It can be kind of nice to take a breather in League for a few seconds and stretch your arms while walking back to lane, given how intense the game can be.
  
• In dota, holding tab doesn't show you what items people have built, nor their CS, and it's super frustrating. You have to click champion portraits individually to see their items, and you can't see their CS at all aside from your own. Probably hard-core dota loyalists will say this is part of the skill of the game, but honestly it's just annoying/bad UI design that they sort of got used to and became convinced was "part of the game" imo. It's really stupid and annoying.
  
• In League you can buy as many wards as you want, whereas in Dota there's only ever a finite number available in the store which is SHARED among your team and then goes out of stock until it replenishes on a timer. I hate having to share wards with the team in dota, and the store being out of them. I understand it's part of the game and managing that is part of the skill of dota, but I find it tedious and don't really enjoy it as a mechanic. Additionally, wards take up an inventory slot in dota the same way control wards do in league, and it's just annoying.
  
• Better champion skins, frankly. Some of League's skins are just amazing, as we all know. I would say there is very little cosmetic content in Dota that can compare to High Noon Senna or God-King Darius or [insert your favorite skin here.] There are cool skins, but it's just not the same. In Dota you can buy individual things, like updating a sword or a hat or a belt or a single ability's effect, all purchaseable separately. They have some full-kit skins, but that's not emphasized as much as in League where it's the standard and the only option, and they're just not as visually impressive.
  

In Dota's Favor:

• All heroes are free from the start. It's great for trying them out and learning the game.
  
• The game is less punishing to learn than league, for a multitude of reasons. Don't get me wrong, it still has an enormous barrier to entry and a steep learning curve, but it's just less painful. Everyone who ever learned League remembers what it was like in those first couple months being alone in lane against people who have been playing for years - especially in top lane or mid lane - and just getting fucking demolished 1v1 and not even being able to play. That doesn't happen as much in dota. First of all two lanes are ostensibly 2v2 and only one is 1v1, although there's a lot more roaming by the supports. There's also no jungler role, a role in league which often leads to that player being blamed for everything that goes wrong in a game. And then there's WAY more sustain - in Dota you don't recall to buy items, you have couriers ferry them out to you. So you can just kinda constantly have Dota's equivalent of health pots brought out to you, and only TP to fountain rarely when you're super low. This means there's a lot less crying under turret while zoned off CS unable to play.
  
• Much better tools for learning. The tutorial is better. You're able to click other heroes to see their abilities in-game. There's a guide system full of user-contributed content where you can pick one in-game and it tells you what to buy and how to use that item on this hero, as well as how to use your abilities by just adding little user-written snippets to the tooltips when you hover them. League does have recommended items and recommended order for ability-levelling, but the fact that you can choose between different guides for different roles in dota is huge, and the text telling you when/why to use specific items for a hero is also majorly helpful. Imagine if you could pick a different guide in game for Senna support vs Senna adc, etc, that recommended specific choices based on the role and neatly fitted those recommendations into the UI.
  
• Dota has way, way, way more interesting items. There are so many active items in Dota, and they feel much more impactful. By comparison nearly every item in league is just a statstick that gives one form or another of more damage or more tank. In Dota there are items that silence for 5s, that disarm (teemo blind) for 3s, that root an aoe for 2s, that polymorph for 3s, that reset ALL your cooldowns including ult (this one has a 5 min cooldown, the rest are <20sec.) Dota's version of Thornmail has an active that hugely amplifies the reflected damage for 5second, so the item feels great to use and has more skill expression - you time the active correctly when someone is focusing you and it makes a big difference. Given that most effects last 3-5 seconds, it's not about super-precise timing like in League so much as it is about broader strategic choices of using it early or late in a fight, etc. The only items in league that feel as strong as Dota items are Zhonyas, GA, and Locket, with honorary mention for the perennially overpowered botrk.
  
• Dota has a way more beautiful map. It's not even close. Dota's map has so much going on. There are far more jungle camps, there's trees everywhere (which many hero abilities interact with in different ways!), there's high ground and low ground. There's so many different places and different entities and landforms, and it's just beautiful. League's map feels empty and stale by comparison. It's much smaller than dota's map, the jungle camps have fixed contents that never change (dota's camps rotate and change during the game). Not even to mention that Dota's map is divided in half and each team's side looks completely different from the other half. As opposed to league where they're identical but just rotated.
  
• Aghanim's shard and scepter. These are the my favorite things in Dota that league doesn't have. What are they? They're two items you can buy that each have a different effect on every single individual hero in the game. On a case by case basis, they either UNLOCK ENTIRE NEW ABILTIES (literally the UI expands to add a new slot when you buy them) or they upgrade one or more of your existing abilities to have entirely new effects. This is just so cool and I was shocked when I learned about them. It's just so fun being able to gain new abilities even late in the game.
  
• The talent tree, which is like an ability customization tree you progress through over the game and which is specific to the hero you're playing. In Dota the max level is 30, and every 5 levels in the game from level 10 onwards, you can unlock a "talent", at which point you pick one of two options to upgrade your hero. It might add 1s to your Q's stun. It might decrease the mana cost of your W. It might give you +250 base health, or +50 AD. It might add entirely new effects to your abilities, like making what was previously just a rooting projectile also start silencing. By level 30 you will have gotten to unlock everything in the tree (you don't typically reach level 30 very often in ranked games). Imagine if like at level 25 you could add "Mundo Q grounds for 0.5s" or "Irelia E +200 range". It's stuff like that and it's so fun.
  
• Dota is more team-oriented. Due to the prevalence of long-lasting debuffs/cc from both items and hero abilities, no one person can really just solo carry to the same extent as in League. In my experience you only very rarely see someone 1v9 in Dota, and usually it's because the enemy team is just making stupid choices. This makes the game a bit more tolerable on average, although you encounter the same toxicity as in league just the same.
  
• Dota has built-in voice chat. This actually does come in handy a lot. Hate not having it in league. It's typically effective and you can mute people in voice just the same as in chat so it's rarely been problematic in my personal experience so far.
  
• Dota has "turbo mode." This mode is just great. Wish league had it. It's basically norms, but with aram-level gold income so all players get to full build in like 20-30 min without even powerfarming. It's really fun and great for learning, experimenting, and playing casually with less commitment.
  
• In dota you don't recall. This means more time spent out on the map playing. Instead all players have the equivalent of the teleport summoner spell constantly available, which lets you take part in more plays. You also don't back to buy items, instead they get ferried out to you by little minions, which is great. Having items shipped out to you constantly instead of having to spend time retrieving them is awesome.
  
• Better demo tool by far. League's practice tool is notoriously shitty. Being able to open the demo tool while you're waiting in queue in Dota is amazing. Can't do that in league.
  
• Dota has 3 additional inactive item slots called the backpack. Love being able to hold 3 additional items that you can swap in or out (they're not usable from the backpack and you don't gain their effects, but you have them on your person to swap into from main inventory if you want). Just gives you nice flexibility when holding consumables and building stuff.
  
• Neutral items. This just doesn't exist in league and I wish it did because these are really fun and cool. When you kill neutral jungle camps in dota they drop items, and the power level of the items scales over the course of the game, from weak ruby crystal type stuff to things that are as strong as rabadons. And they don't take up a normal inventory slot, so you effectively get an actual 7th item in dota.
  
• The system for checking out customization and skins. Dota's system is pretty different, where instead of buying holistic skins that change everything, you can customize individual parts of a heroe's appearance, like their hat or their sword or their belt or gloves. There's WAYYYYY more options than in League, and you can try them all out in the client to see how they look.
  
• Cosmetics for things other than the heroes/champions themselves. In League you can only buy champion skins. In Dota you can buy cosmetics for the ancient (nexus), the towers, the creeps, the map, etc. None of that exists in League. We fucking WISH we could buy that kind of stuff. Riot are you listening?
  

Conclusions
On the whole I'd say there's more things to like about Dota than about League just in sheer quantity of bullet points, but regardless I love both games and think they're both really fun. If Dota improved their lore, their animations, and their tab screen and League improved their cosmetics store and had a more interesting and dynamic map, plus neutral items and agh's shard & scepter, I wouldn't really have any major complaints about either of them.
I think anyone who loves one game could potentially love the other one too and it's totally worth learning whichever one you don't already know, if you have the time. Obviously these games take a ton of time and most people barely have time for one let alone two. But if you're young especially, they're both really fun.
It's pretty hard for me to see eye-to-eye with the people who love one game and ferociously hate on the other - it seems childish and kind of empty. To not find one as fun as the other, sure, that's one thing, but to expend energy hating it and constantly shitting on it, that just confuses me. You can have a favorite while still acknowledging the other as a comparably enjoyable game.
One final note - one of the things I found most interesting about comparing them is seeing which mechanics are normal in one game that would be overpowered in the other game.
In Dota there is a hero named Nature's Prophet whose W is TF ult minus the vision. It has a one minute cooldown, going down to eventually 0 cooldown late game, and he can access it from level one if he chooses to. Nature's prophet would likely have a >90% wr in League.
But then in League we have Zilean and his stupid ult on a one minute cooldown, while in Dota that only exists as a one-time use item (like GA) that you are rewarded with when you defeat their version of Baron, and it is basically the strongest item in the game. Zilean would likely have a >90% wr in dota.

Like with every new creative technology, we are seeing push-back from people both in and outside of creative communities. Cameras were "going to destroy painting"- synthesizers were "going to destroy music"- drum machines and sampled records "invalidated hip hop in 'the arts'"- Autotune "diminishes the value of proficient vocalists"... etc. etc. etc. But eventually, we always come around.
The AI debate has been much more public and much more heated- with many claiming it will be "the end of all human creative pursuits" or saying "we do not want AI to make images, video, or music at all"
The messaging of the people who make these AI tools are partially to blame for this discourse: their promotion/advertisement **is often positioning these as "tools that handle the entire creative process"

Google actually talked to artists, and showed people how they can use these generations as an addition to their existing tool belt and creative process.

With music, they brought in Wyclef Jean and Marc Rebillet

Wyclef talked about how producers have used/modified samples from other works in the past, digging through records to find that perfect sound to add to the sound they've created in the studio manually. He explained that he now has a source of infinite, specified samples and sounds that he can add to the guitars, drums, etc. that he's already recording by hand

Marc is known for live looping and layering of sounds that he's recorded, sampled, or created on the fly. He explained how he can now quickly produce exactly the sound he's looking for to layer into what he's already creating
_____________________________
With film-making and video production, they brought in Donald Glover (Childish Gambino)

His takeaway quote was: "That's whats cool about it, you can make a mistake faster... at least in art, that's what you want: to make mistakes fast" which is something that, at least in my own artistic endeavors, deeply resonates. Curation and refinement- making mistakes and getting closer to the actual intent, is one of the most important parts of creating great art. Knowing what should be kept and what should be left out- taste, and the process of bringing to life that which you imagine accurately. Ben Franklin said it quite succinctly- "The eye [imagination/vision] of a master will do more work than both his hands"

The point being that quickly moving through ideas frees up an artists time for further exploration and refinement- which in turn opens up the creative process to people who might not have pursued it otherwise.
Gambino's second takeaway quote emphasizes this specifically:

"Everybody's gonna become a director, and everybody should be a director- because at the heart of all this is just storytelling. The closer we are to being able to tell each other our stories... the more we'll understand each other"

This is, in my mind, the part of Google I/O where they really knocked it out of the park.

This perspective is how people will come to view generative AI as a way of enhancing creation and self-expression, rather than destroying it. Creative communities will increasingly embrace it, bringing us more, and better art- and perhaps art that wouldn't have ever existed from people with ideas and stories that they never would have told otherwise.

I really strongly believe that this is the lens through which all creative generative AI should be viewed, shared, and promoted. This is the rhetoric and the perspective that creative people need to hear, emboldening and empowering them, rather than making them fearful of being replaced.
I don't often give Google many props... but they really figured this out and nailed the messaging today.
This perspective has the power to shift the conversation and steer creative pursuits in a more positive and capable direction... and potentially to awaken artistry in people who wouldn't have otherwise pursued it- increasing our collective ability to express ourselves and understand one another.

Hey all, I’m pretty experienced over years with knives and have a large collection of all types. Used to have a sharpening business and reshaping. I certainly don’t know nearly what a lot of you do, just saying you don’t need to dumb down answers. I’ve never done this though. (Rounding a spine)
Anyway, I’ve got some new Kramer knives for the kitchen and a Cleaver I didn’t plan to use much but actually like it a lot. The spine has 90° edges though. Great for bush knives, blisters for cooking. I want to soften the edges but not screw it up. I’ve got a ton of tooling and knife gear.
Anyone that’s done it, I’d like to hear recommendations. I’d like to keep it as clean looking as can and I can polish it back up after but as far as filing or a very high grit belt or sandpaper and a vice? …. What’s the best way to go about this?
I appreciate any replies. I figure I’d get the best answers here than just googling them. - P

Yo. I tend to keep to myself but fuck that. I’m a 4 month YouTube apprentice with no job because this mother fucking school can’t even get working computers in PLC class. Since Mr. Guerra or whatever his name is can’t give me my money back, have fun with this shit you punk mother Fucker.
Forward : I paid $20,000 for this bullshit.
Here you go internet: tear it up.
WHEN the instructor doesn’t show up. Then, they are just like “idk? Go home?” Happened probably 7 times. Dude has 7-8 absences. He was the instructor. Prob showed up for 1/4 of the zoom meetings, go to fuckin rehab, and get your shit together.
I had a legit absence cuz I had gallstones and I was in the hospital but they just told me to take the L on (second month) cuz “students were making their own schedule”. What? I made up the fucking lab, dude. Solo. By your means. That shit has nothing to do with me. Fuck that shit. So you ruined my (meaningless) perfect attendance. Dope. Moving on.
They gave us a chrome book that was constructed by a fucking dachshund wearing a tin foil hat, I’ve never seen a tablet dented straight out the box. This is just fucking sad.
This country is oppressed wherever you got that from.
And shame on you for that.
(Only actual things I can do, install switches and bend conduit. Cuz I taught myself, by myself. Thanks for the fucking conduit, but I coulda bought that myself with that tuition money, so fuck that)
Fun fact: Everyone in admin got a nice watch. You could give me that watch , Pa. We’d then be fuckin square. Actually shoes, too. And the belt. Run that shit.
Third month was a joke, not even sure what the Fuck we did, watched YouTube videos I think one day we watched the fucking cable guy. Yeah. The movie. With Jim Carey. “Basic safety”.
They gave us the 2020 code book, not the CURRENT one. (I enrolled in January 2024), and they have not done shit with it besides arbitrarily tell us how to use the index, which was in itself fucking stupid cuz I paid 20 grand for this. And I’m not 12, and I know how to read? For real? I have pointless tabs now in an out-dated code book that I have no idea what the application is for.
Online class is a fucking joke, instructors and students don’t even put on the fucking cameras. I’m the only sweaty mf with a camera still on my nasty mug. Wtf? Half the students have avatars so it looks like I’m on a god damn children safari rainforest cafe Cept with no PLCS or a working panel. It’s fucking wack. Put the fucking camera on your face, dog. I don’t give a shit you think you’re pretty or not. That’s not showing up. That’s a bitch move.
IBEW said I am fucked cuz I gotta deal with this shit first. Fuck this place. And fucking shame on this administration.
They promised tools, I don’t have shit. They promise and education, I don’t have it. They promised a job, don’t have it.
And to be honest, I know they won’t deliver.

Hi everyone! I was wondering what could be the best hatchet to bring with me during hikes/camps, that could help me easily with all the activities that needs to be done in a mountain scenario (chopping fire wood, create tools, build structures...) and that could also be brought around attached to my belt without being too much of a trouble to carry. I bumped in the hultafors brand and I'm impressed by the manifacture's quality, as well as I am about the looks of those tools... What do you think can be the best option between these two models? One is about 44 cm and the other around 37.5 cm, the main difference is the head.

• APPLE WATCH. pic 1 pic 2 I thought it'd be fun to be one of those annoying hipsters that lets everyone know they have an apple watch. No, not that apple watch, the original apple watch. It was fun. Now it's time for someone else to enjoy being the obonxious hispter guy of their friend group. Works but needs a fresh battery. TV $45 / SV $30.
  
• Seiko SNE331. pic pic 2. These are really nice. Very slim, has solar, and I think the face looks awesome. This is a very lightly used one I bought as a back-up to my user. The only signs of wear I see are a tiny ding by 8 o clock and the strap is rounded from sitting in my watch case around one of those round pad things. These look great with a black sailcoth strap which is what my user has. This one has the stock strap, box, tags, etc. TV $90 / SV $75
  
• Casio G shock square. pic. I'm a big fan of the old school 5200. I bought a few different colors over the years but always end up wearing the regular black version more. This one was worn less than 5 times after being purchased new. Misplaced the tin it came in though. TV $75 / SV $60.
  
• Casio casioak blacked out. pic. User. Works great. TV $55 / SV $45
  
• Citizen chrono watch. pic pic 2 pic 3 This was the most expensive watch I bought myself. Bought new for around $220. Decided I'm more of a $40 gshock kind of guy and got out of watches before I got into omegas and shit, yay me. I don't recall the reference number and seem to have misplaced the box (I'll keep looking, I know I have it around here somewhere.) I think it was part of their chandler field watch line. Has a nice OD green strap with reinforced holes. Eco drive solar function works great. Top of the body shows very little wear.....some very fine hairline scratches if you hold it right up to your eyeballs, looks new from typical "I'm checking the time" distance. Nice watch, just a little too nice for me. TV $140 / SV $100
  
• SPF Suunto Core. pic. Great outdoor watch. Gently used. Has box and five spare batteries. Was really into Stargate for a time and buying this was easier than tracking down a Vector, lol. TV $100 / SV $80
  
• Szanto 3 pack. pic. These are nice rugged watches that look good IMO. Two pilot watches and a field watch with date window. Two have upgraded aftermarket straps. All have lume that's decent. All three are in good working order but will need fresh batteries. Take the lot for TV $60 SV $50.
  
• MWC combo. pic. pic 2 pic 3 The watch on the left is a very high end model with tritium, 300m water resist etc. But it has an unknown issue. May need a replacement movement. I bought it used and it worked great but then stopped. Replaced battery, worked great, stopped again. Never got around to sending it in for repair. The one on the right was purchased new direct from MWC and runs perfect. I upgraded to a black strap with glow stitching. Come with box, tin, COA, stock silver nato style strap etc. Normal retail on these is around $350 for the black, $75 for the gray. Take both for TV $100 / SV $75.
  
• SOG Seal Pup Elite. pic 1 pic 2. Purchased used. Put a fresh edge on it. Purchased new sheath direct from SOG. Not the most pristine looking knife here but plenty of life left. TV $50 / SV $45
  
• spf Queen Big Boy Trapper. pic 1 (victorinox spartan for size reference) pic 2. Unused. Minor markings on bolsters from being in knife drawer. Made in USA. TV $45 SV $30.
  
• Gear Aid fixies. pic. Unused. Came in some bushcraft subscription box I got for xmas. Add one of these to any purchase for $5, or take them both for $20 shipped.
  
• Survivor fixed blade. pic free to anyone that wants it that purchases something else
  
• SPF SOCP Knockoff / clone. pic. Tried it to see if an SOCP would make a good CCW addition. These knives just don't work for my hand size. TV $20 / SV $10.
  
• SPF Cheap watch bundle. pic. Timex & Casio. All work except the casio on far left needs a battery Take the lot for $35 shipped.
  
• Victorinox serrated Spartan. pic 1 pic 2 Gently used. Main blade cut one or two things, still very sharp. Don't recall using any tools, factory lube still visible on them. Factory edges on both blades. Cosmetic scratches on scales from being in storage. TV $25 / SV $20
  
• SPF Leatherman Fuse Combo. pic 1 pic 2. This is for both tools and the pocket clip. I used to be into modding Leatherman tools to make custom tool layouts. I had plans for modding the black one with different tools and adding a pocket clip from a wave + I never got around to finishing. One tool pivot is loosened up on each of these as I was experimenting on adding the clip etc. Every tool is in good shape, works well, blades are very sharp and look like factory edge etc. They'll need to be re-tightened or something before use. Selling them as is, no sheaths for either, again pocket clip is included. TV $60 / SV $45 for everything pictured.
  
• Spyderco Pacific Salt NIB. pic 1 pic 2. NIB Pacific Salt 1 PE satin blade with screw pivot and rounded clip, meaning it was a later run. TV $100 / SV $80
  
• TRADE PENDING Spyderco Aqua Salt. pic 1 pic 2 pic 3 This is one of the best knives ever made. Only reason I'm selling this is I talked myself into being ok with owning 5 of them instead of 6. I picked my least used user to post for sale. This one was picked up from a seconds sale where they sold without sheaths. Luckily I had an extra sheath I bought previously. These are incredibly tough, incredibly light, rust proof and killer cutters with a thin, coarse edge. My most used fixed blade model over the last 20 years, they can fill any role from bushcraft to hiking to fishing to diving. TV $140 / SV $120
  
• Cold Steel Pre-GSM Spike. pic 1 pic 2 Unused. TV $30 / SV $19
  
• Cold Steel Frenzy. pic 1 pic 2 NIB blue S35VN version. Backup to my user. TV $110 / SV $94
  
• withdrawn Cold Steel Pre-GSM SRK. pic 1 pic 2 SK5. Unused. withdrawn.
  
• spf Cold Steel American Lawman. pic 1 pic 2 I bought this off here and sharpened it up and carried it a few times. Amazingly thin and light in the pocket, carries incredibly. Cuts well and took a great edge. Only reason I'm selling it, is I find it a little small for my grip. This is the current S35VN version with a nice DLC finish. TV $80 / SV $69 ;) ;)
  
• Cold Steel Code 4. pic 1 pic 2. Great knife that carries very well like the Lawman. Bought it here, gave it an edge since it came butter knife dull, and carried it twice. I prefer the slightly bigger Recon 1. Unmarked blade steel so I would guess this is the older AUS version. TV $50 / SV $40
  
• SOLD Kabar TDI combo. pic 1 pic 2. The smaller one is in good shape. Was sharpened because the factory edge was absolute garbage. Sheath clip shows some carry wear. Large one is ugly but still cuts. I used it to practice reprofiling on my belt sander and scratched it up pretty good. Note I lost the straps for the sheath. Take both for TV $50 / SV $35

Hello!! I woke up this morning with some pain in between my shoulder blades. With that, I am new to lifting and I was wondering if there are any posture belts or any tools I could use to help relieve pain. With that, I know I have poor posture and I am working on perfecting form. I’ve seen lifting belts but I have no idea if I even need those for lifting dumbbells. All and any advice will work.
Also I am resting. I do not want to make the problem worse so I took today off. We will see about tomorrow. TIA

Apologies for the millionth "what should I do with my career" post, but I would be very appreciative of some guidance.
After having a little experience under my belt from my Big4 private tax advisory job, and a lot of free time, I've been doing a lot of soul searching. And I've came to the conclusion that tax isn't going to be for me. I've been reflecting on what I've been enjoyed in the past as well as what i've been good at and bad at.
Uni Background:

• BSc Physics (Top UK uni , not oxbridge, 2.2 because of severe family issues)
• really enjoy working with numbers & high numeracy skills - stats, calculus, ect...
• Although not proficient enough for most finance jobs, I believe I have the foundations in programming/excel which I can build on, as well as willingness to learn other data tools.
• Good at and enjoyed labs - the process of creating a strategy to best use tools to convert qualitive/quantitative analysis into a report/presentation was always rewarding.
• Highlights were:
  • A consulting/RnD experience I had with a bioscience company, focused on increasing efficiency within their business through designing refrigeration and reheating process.
  • Consulting-based internship I had with an energy company. predicting and capitalising on changes in the wider market.

Upsides of job:

• I enjoy working in a team, and I find I can bond with and get along with people easily.
• I've enjoyed the advisory aspect more then the compliance aspect.
• Studying from CA with ICAS. Lots of free time to study/pursue extracurriculars (compared to other service lines, I get home by 5PM most days lol).
• I've found the restructuring engagements somewhat interesting and highlights were:
  • Sitting in on a initial meeting with the head of M&A for an emerging sports brand.
  • Doing initial research into local companies, to help client proposals.
• For the previous two I find it's the element of analysis, critical thinking and strategy (atleast more so then reading through tax manuals) that has kept me engaged.

Big Downside of job:

• The legislative aspect of tax, I find super boring. Although I've not done a whole lot yet (mostly admin), I can see in the future being burnt out by reading through tax manuals and the lack of numbers/analysis.

Loose ideas from whats around me:

• valuations - Audit seems monotonous, but the CF teams I've worked alongside seam to have some of the aspects i've listed. However it seems everyone wants this, and Idk if theres a valid reason/experience that sets myself apart.
• move to consulting arm within big4, dont know much about each sub service line.
• Quant masters - have the funding, but I think a 2.2 is a nail in the coffin for target unis.

Was anyone in a similar position that managed to figure out what they wanted? I would like to talk to my counsellor about this, but it feels too early and I would want some ideas in mind when talking to them.
Thanks for any advice.

Here is a little prose poem I wrote for myself, wanted to show it to you, what do you feel ? :
What work to do now ? Messages have been sent, they have been heard and they are prayed on.
I have not attained anything but new questions and they need answer. Stay humble, discerning, loving and armed against evil.
I am of the world and I will stay of this world. From dust we go to dust. Nothing is ever-lasting in the world and God's intelligence is ineffable.
I am but a mortal that has his mind renewed in God's Word. Rejoice, for there are many like me, and many closer to God.
I will go back to my house, and I will sin. Lord forgive me for things I do not understand.
Let us be tools of your mercy and let you work your justice.
I must pray, confess, contemplate and give alms to the needy.
I must follow what I was meant to do here on earth. I must paint the angels, sing their songs, write their stories and shape something good in the clay of this world.
Contemplate enough, it will not move mountains. Move what you can, and strive for the mountains. Live your journey, be a simple and humble pilgrim. This is where you will find God.
I have many tasks piled up, I must attend to them.
There are many to love, and only one to love.

Great news for all my Junior Enlisted Warriors. MarineNet has published a bunch of classes now worth half a CEU for a mere hour of study, and there are a lot of them. While I have not personally curated all the 0.5 CEU classes to see if they are proctorless, I will edit the post once I have the time to run through the catalogue. But right now, I'd say we're looking at a whopping 71 CEUs that don't need a proctor now.

Context

This project is for an invoice application that generates a pdf from a button click. Its plain and simple, approched with the MVP concept. Over time, I did add a few details but they do not interfere with the PDF generation.

My Tool Belt

The tools I've used for R&D are:

• M1 with Sonoma 14.3.1,
• Visual Studio Code Version: 1.89.1 (Universal),
• Latest PHP version (8.2),
• FPDF (1.86),
• Latest MySQL (8.X),
• Brave, FireFox and Safari (Latest Version),
• Perplexity AI (GPT 3.5)

Problem

In the latest FPDF version, I want to change the words thats coming from a MySQL database to be bigger in size AND displayed in the same CELL. This means displaying the following:

Cell(190, 5, "NAME: " . $data['name'], "B", 0, "L"); } } ?> 

where the name column (from MySQL), should be bigger in font size than "NAME: " in the output.

What I Tried

I've used the following methods (from FPDF), with no success:

1. MultiCell
2. SetFont
3. GetY
4. GetX
5. Ln
6. SetFontSize
7. SetX
8. SetY
9. SetXY
10. Write

Yes, I did look on StackOverFlow and Googled it, and as similar as the titles are to solving my problem, they do not provide the actual solution. I also verfied just now if there are any answers out there to answer my question as my last chance. There are none :( . I need to make the data from MySQL bigger like in the PDF from Acrobat where you're filling out a form. Imagine filling out a PDF form for the goverment or scholarships, they make the user inputs bigger that the hard-coded string.
The mentioned methods used were also the ones I've implemented to solve this problem. I've used many more methods that aren't mentioned, and they obviously lead to nowhere.

What I Got

I am currently stuck on the Cell method and from researching article, youtube videos and blog posts, have gotten no where near to my goal.
