2024.05.14 00:26 Necessary_Listen_602 Need advice on dealing with a close friends abusive ex.

Okay so I’m a man in my 30’s who has a close female friend that I’ve known for years and years. Well she has an ex husband that was abusive and he likes to hack, stalk, etc.
Last time he did this, he hacked all her social media accounts and text messaging on her phone, pretending to be her, and was like “we’re working on our marriage, stay away” (paraphrasing) and fooled me so I did. We usually communicate through text and the whole conversation seemed convincing enough as I thought it really was her. Anyway she eventually got back to me explaining what happened.
Well he’s back at it again and even calling her routes to a different number (yes I’m sure I have the right number). So once again I’m in the dark.
Last time she got it handled, eventually, but didn’t know he did it for a little bit. Now I’m worried about what’s going on, even if it was limited to this and non in person harassment last time.
My only option is to just show up at her house. This could be problematic if he’s there as she has kids and this might create a disturbance. Granted i could get the shit kicked out of me, but idc about that (aside from medical bills), especially if it gets him arrested (he’s supposedly on probation of some sort).
BUT that may not be the only outcome. Maybe he hurts her or it makes the problem worse and the cops don’t do anything anyway.
She handled it last time, but idk, what if he does some extra shit this time? I don’t think he’d actually attack her (probation) but I’m not 100% sure.
What should I do?

2024.05.13 23:54 GoGetSilverBalls OK I'm struggling with how to grade kids with trauma and LD

I have a student who lost their mother to violence over a year ago. They are also LD.
I have another student who lost their dad to a heart attack about 2 months ago.
The first student doesn't try, doesn't ask for help, doesn't even put on answer on a worksheet. When I approach and say, hey, how.can I help you get started, they just suck their thumb (6th grade) and mumble, no thanks.
The other student missed about 2 weeks, came back and made all the work up and had an A. First student has an F bc they have turned in literally nothing.
I am torn. I totally get where first student is traumatized. As was 2nd student because there are multiple issues (health) with their remaining parent, whose health is on the decline rapidly.
For me, 1st student should be able to grieve, but understand that doing zero work does not help them. I have tried, guidance counselor has tried, and on site therapist has tried. 1st student just refuses.
Should I let 1st student fail for refusing help? I personally feel like if I just pass them, they'll get into that mindset that they'll be "successful" with zero effort, and the world is going to be a horrible place for them when they go out into it. Can't read. Can barely write, and gives zero effort. All o can think is homelessness, abusive relationships bc of financial needs...I know you get what I'm trying to say, so I'll leave it at that.
To clarify, have contacted Dad with concerns and he assures me he can take 1st student to the library to finish assignments. Student 1 has come back on Monday with no finished work. Talked to dad, he said he took student 1 to the library and put them on the computer (where my work is posted), but said they just wouldn't do anything.
Do I fail student 1? I've followed all the IEP requirements and have gone out of my way to assist them.
I'm really torn. Thanks, and please be kind.

2024.05.13 23:36 Remarkable_Ruin1663 Need a formula to return a result based on what the operator writes in cell O7 and O10

So, I'm trying to build a machine efficiency worksheet. I want the operators to only have to type the Part No. in cell O7 and Operation in cell O10. Based on what these two values are, I need the formula to then find the Unit Goal for the Part No and Operation. I have all the calculations for the "Unit Goal" on a separate sheet in the same workbook. The same Part No. could have up to 5 operations and vary greatly in time. All of these time calculations are also in the "Unit Goal" work sheet, and have been simplified to minutes. BTW, I'm using office 365.
Anyone have any ideas?
TIA!!!

2024.05.13 23:24 Grouchy_Carpenter489 Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP: It is time to forget about standard Excel sheets and take an enhanced data upload tool

Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP: It is time to forget about standard Excel sheets and take an enhanced data upload tool
A Time to Forget About Ordinary Excel Sheets and Take an Enhanced Data Upload Tool
Thousands of users worldwide of Oracle Fusion ERP use ADFdi and FBDI for data loading or data management generally. Excel has some great features that help to streamline data analysis. There is no argument that Excel is a highly functional tool for organizational data management.
Ordinary Microsoft Excel spreadsheets have many limitations regarding data loading to Oracle Fusion Cloud. Excel is great for simple ad hoc calculations, but it needs connectivity features to automate and document its contents, making its use prone to error.
Manually keying in data in Oracle Cloud from Excel worksheets or copy-pasting is a slow, time-consuming process that is bound to reduce employee productivity. Accuracy is also compromised, and inaccurate data can cost an organization millions in revenue. Excel needs more automation, so if you handle large volumes of data, there may be a better tool for you. Furthermore, data security is not assured since Excel does not have encryption features.
The standard Oracle tools (ADFdi and FBDI) are rigid in nature; the user cannot move columns around or even easily paste data from another sheet to ADFdi or FBDI. The error reporting and resolution cycle is too cumbersome and needs specialized technical knowledge.
Why do people still use Excel sheets for data management?
It’s cheaper
For a team that doesn't care about automation, why bother spending on something more costly if they can get away with something that stores data tables? Considering its limitations, is it worth it in the long-run cost?
Easy-to-use
Excel is easy to use. It is one of the basic Microsoft Office tools that most people learn to use in basic computer interactions. Because they are already familiar with it, most people find Excel easy to use and often prefer to do so than learn new about new tools.
Limited knowledge of what’s available
Some people are just stuck in their routines. They need help staying current on the newest software available on the market. If the leadership of a team or members does not take the initiative to look around and find out what the market has to offer, they will be stuck with Excel and its attendant costs when others are enjoying the benefits of more advanced tools.
Poor experience with some project management software
Choosing a data loading tool to suit your data loading needs is a task that should be taken seriously. Many data-loading teams that used Excel have been turned off by their previous experience with data-loading tools. Some tools are cumbersome and difficult to use, others are code intensive and not suitable for most end users, and some may need more features you are looking for. The poor experience is a result of poor customization.
Suppose you had a tool that allowed you to use the easy-to-use and familiar Excel worksheet while providing you with advanced specialized features for loading data into the cloud. Wouldn’t that be great?
How to make Excel work with advanced tools
Working with Excel in data loading does not have to be a slow and cumbersome process that does not ensure the accuracy or security of your data. You can harness the power of Excel and still enjoy using advanced data-loading tools. More4Apps and Simplified Loader are Excel-based data-loading to consider.
More4Apps
More4Apps is an Excel-based data-loading tool that allows businesses to integrate familiar Excel spreadsheets with Oracle EBS and Oracle Fusion. Its tools work within the familiar interface of Microsoft Excel, leveraging the many features of Excel to facilitate data loading.
Training is optional since Excel is the main interface, and end-users are familiar with it. Unlike ordinary Excel spreadsheets, which are limited in scalability, More4Apps empowers data owners to carry out mass data uploads and updates.
A plugin must be installed on a PC before you can use More4Apps. The IT Helpdesk needs to be involved in installing the plugin, so only specific PCs can be used.
More4Apps sends and receives data from the server hosted by More4Apps. Considering data security, allowing data transfers to a third-party server without ensuring the details are transferred is risky. Robust testing is required with every release of More4Apps update to ensure your data is transferred to a safe place. The IT Security department needs to get involved in verifying the third-party server and plugin.
Simplified Loader
~Simplified Loader~ is an Excel-based tool designed explicitly for uploading or downloading data to and from Oracle Fusion Cloud. The Simplified Loader template is easy to use. It includes a toolbar that contains operations specific to the template. The output of any operation is displayed in the Excel template's Load Status and Error Message fields.
Simplified Loader Excel files upload or download data from Oracle Fusion Cloud. Simplified Loader’s Excel templates are used either for mass data loads, for example, data migration, or everyday data loading activities in Oracle Cloud.
Simplified Loader ensures your data’s security by routing data from the Excel template directly to Oracle Cloud without a third-party server. The Simplified Loader template doesn’t need plugin installation and runs using Macros, similar to how other Oracle Cloud tools interact with Oracle.
Which template should you choose?
User convenience - Both More4Apps and Simplified Loader provide features that enhance user experience. Most UX features are similar in both products. Since they use Microsoft Excel, additional training is rarely necessary. More4Apps provides a form to input data that is not in the tabular format. Whereas the Simplified Loader provides a single unified sheet to enter data, the same sheet is used to invoke the list of values.
Both tools allow you to insert custom columns, hide or delete columns you don't need, and insert formulas you may need for data analysis. You can also analyze or validate data before uploading it.
Data Security - Oracle Fusion only allows interaction through APIs. Both More4Apps and Simplified Loader use APIs to interact with Oracle, so the security protocols are the same in both toolsets. More4Apps uses an external system to manage licenses. From the IT point of view, in a highly data-sensitive environment, the IT has to open additional ports to interact with the More4Apps servers to validate licenses.
In terms of data security, both toolsets have the same features.
License Management - This topic is considerably different in More4Apps and Simplified Loader. More4Apps restricts the number of times an administrator can update users licensed to use the Simplified Loader template, whereas, in Simplified Loader, the Administrator has full control over maintaining the users licensed to use the Simplified Loader templates.
Support—Both organizations offer excellent support to users who log defects using the support system. Simplified Loader has a vast library of short videos demonstrating product features and functionalities. More4Apps has recently adopted the approach of video tutorials.
Plugin installation - This is a key difference between the two templates. The More4Apps template requires an additional plugin installed on the user's machine. The user will always see an additional toolbar in Excel when working on any Excel document. The user always has to use the PC where the plugin is installed. In comparison, the Simplified Loader Excel doesn’t need any plugin installation on the user’s machine. When the user opens the Simplified Loader file, the Simplified Loader toolbar appears. Users won’t see the additional toolbar when they open any other Excel file.
Using Excel parallelly: When using either toolset, Excel cannot be used for any other purposes. The user has to wait until the data is loaded to Oracle.
Pricing: Both toolsets offer per-user licensing. More4Apps offers licenses per user by module, whereas Simplified Loader offers licenses per user by Template. License management at the template level gives the administrator higher control to assign the right user to the right template, resulting in purchasing the right number of licenses per user. The More4Apps licenses are considerably higher (more than 5x) than the Simplified Loader licenses.
Conclusion
Using ordinary Excel spreadsheets for data loading may not be very effective. Excel may have shortcomings, but you can use it efficiently with advanced data-loading tools to get the best of both applications. Both More4Apps and Simplified Loader provide similar features for loading data in Oracle. Both are advanced data-loading tools that make your experience more pleasant and effective. Simplified Loader is more handy as it does not need plugin installation, and the user doesn’t need any involvement from IT to install the plug-in.

2024.05.13 22:58 Serious_Astronaut_40 G Code question

Any fellow nerds able to help me I'm having trouble with a simple job we run where we just mill a hole and do a spring pass. (Code is paraphrased from memory but the important is still there).
G00 G90 G54 X0 Y0
G00 G43 Z0 H1
G91
G01 G41 Y0.1 D1 F15. (D=0)
G03 X0 Y0 J-0.1
G03 X0 Y0 J-0.1
G01 G40 G90 Y0
G00 G91 G28 Z0.
I'm concerned that as we change the wear value on D1 we move the machine spindle center past Y0.1 but the next line uses the incremental I J K but that remains fixed and not dependent on the wear offset. So we'd be milling a hole that's off position in the Y axis as much as the cutter comp is offset by.
Does anyone know if I J K incremental commands in a G2/G3 read the cutter comp of the current tool?
Fanuc Robodrill do not recall the model but I can get more info if necessary.
Edit: I see the question is not clear, I am well aware of how cutter comp works and how modal commands work.
At D=0 everything works fine, but the problem occurs as I change the cutter comp.
Let's say D=-.002, the program will bring the tool to the center and the rapid down. Next it will move .102 in the positive direction (because of the cutter comp). However the next line of code tells the machine to make a circle with end points X0 Y0 in G91 whose center is 100 thou lower than the current position. The current position is Y.102 and so that means the center of this arc is at Y.002, NOT at Y0 like I would intend it to be.
This will slowly cause my operators to make an out of location hole as the wear increases. I just want to know if the machine controller compensates for this issue or not.

2024.05.13 22:38 student-1439 frq tips?? pls help

my teacher hasnt given any practice for saqs, dbqs or leqs so i have no idea what to expect. i know to use RACE or TEA but im more concerned on the format.
for saqs: since theres A,B,C should i combine it all into a paragraph form and address each of those OR should i write A and then the answer for A and then B and then the answer for B etc. Also when u cite evidence how does that work? should i use direct quotes, or paraphrase....??
for dbqs: how many paragraphs are expected? Five including 3 body and intro and conclusion? also since you have to cite 4 docs how does that work? like do you use direct evidence and then in parentheses (document 1)? or do u say according to document 1 "...." Also what does it mean when u have to cite 4 docs but only explain 2? Also how does the complexity point work? i heard that for complexity point now u can earn it by citing all 7 docs but how does that work? like do you just use quotation from each doc and then u get the point?? also when u have to cite an outside source, they just want to see that you know what the document is/what its about or do they wsnt u to know like an actual quote from it.
for leqs: how many paragraphs expected? same as dbq or less or more since you arent citing anything?
i know this is long and theres a lot of questions but any advice is appreciated. thank you!!!!

2024.05.13 22:21 Puzzy_Kat1022 What should I be prepping as a student?

Hey! I am currently in my senior year of college in early education k-3 and double majoring special needs K-12. I start student teaching next year (winter of 2025) and then I have another year of student teaching for special needs I am predicted to graduate in the next 2 years or less. I work as an assistant preschool teacher in a daycare and have been in many school placements at schools for my degree.
In classes we've made lists of books, need, and ideas for our classrooms. A few months ago my lead teacher at my daycare left suddenly and took lots of classroom materials with. I filled in with a few cheap pieces like some kids books I really wanted, quick and easy matching games, puzzles, and a few other things for me (my own laminator, etc). Which I plan to take when I leave.
With my student teaching coming up next winter I really don't want graduation to sneak up on me and not have anything for applying at schools or items for my first classroom wherever that may be! I have already started saving some worksheets i've laminated from classes as well as lesson plan prompts I have done (I know everyone says they never use them but just encase). I don't want to be preparing stuff that won't be used. College tends to tell education majors to basically store junk tbh...
My question is for recent graduates or current teachers what you felt was an immediate need for your first year classroom, or applying to schools? I am fortunate enough to live at home and not pay excessive amounts in tuition so I have the occasional money to spend aside with having plenty of savings and the room to store things. I work a lot next to school so I wanted to take the time this summer while I have no classes to prepare as much as I can!
Thanks!

2024.05.13 22:19 fishonmyside Contract to hire question

I’m in a current contact to hire situation. I’ve excelled and they are very clear about bringing me on full time. As I have worked as a new hire I’ve made some reports and worksheets that could help other potential new hires based on my experience. Since I have not officially been hired yet, would you A.) Show them what you made in the hopes of leveraging a few extra dollars come signing time or B.) Hold it until you’re hired to use as a potential pro towards you as an official employee?
Additional side notes: they have hired one other new employee (non temp) since I began and they are NOT doing well and I’ve been asked to let them shadow me on several occasions.
Debating as it may help the team as a whole now but I also want to showcase how I would like to work professionally in the future.

2024.05.13 22:11 Stunning_Travel840 I (19M) was in a kind of relationship with a girl (19F) in my college.But she cheated on me. What to do?

So,basically it happened when I was in second semester.There was a girl who used to stare at me during lectures and there were various moments when we had a eye contact but I used to ignore that thing.Then things started to escalate when she started saying hello to me when I was with my friends.So, my friends suggested me to go and talk to her.So I gathered my confidence and approached her.She interacted with me but left very soon.Later that day she sent me Instagram request and we started having conversation about random things(politics, studies etc).
She knew I was good in academics so she asked for help and as a human being I helped her and then after this we were talking 1-1.5 hrs daily on phone and when I didn't saw her message she used to call me continuously(One time she called me 7 times in interval of 3-4 mins) and every time she would ask me that if I am okay or has she committed some mistake that is why I am ignoring her.She used to ask for my suggestions for every thing.
Then we started going to library,where I used to teach her on the expense of my own academics but I didn't cared.Things were going well. She became a support system for me.We used to go on walks etc. She appreciated my physique (I go to gym).
But things started going downhill on June 3rd,it was her birthday and she didn't invite me,I thought she might be busy with her friends but foolish me called her and asked that am I just for her academic support!She denied and said that she wanted to give me party alone and I said I don't want a party from you .Things were not going well, we didn't called each other much.
Fast forward to 16th June ,I was working on my project and it was around 3 in the morning and she texted me that his boyfriend is asking about you,My heart fell down and I just replied her it's your matter and you have to answer it but she insisted me to tell something to reply him.. Then I wrote a long paragraph in which I said I don't want to become a barrier between both of you.I trusted you but you betrayed me and used me. I wish you all the best and please don't try to text me again.. then she started spamming that sorry,I know it's my mistake. Don't leave me blah blah... I didn't reacted to her messages. Then I went to my bed and it was around 4:30 AM, I am having project submission at 9:00 AM and after 2 days I am having my end semester exams. I tried to sleep but after 1 hour, I woke up and was feeling heavy, I called my friend and told him that everything thing is over and I broke down. Then he and one more friend of mine came running to my room and took me to the balcony and consoled me and told me that don't be sad..
Then afterwards I gathered myself and went for the project evaluation,it went good but I was feeling a void. Then in the evening she texted me again asking me that If I am angry because of her.. my friends suggested me not to reply so I didn't reply.. But the night before the exams she texted me asking for the solutions of worksheets, I didn't send her.Then she called with a different number.But then again she started spamming. Then I texted her that I want to meet and want to end everything, she came and I gave her a short reality check and saw her tears rolling down her cheeks,I again said that please don't cry etc etc.... So I gave my exams and went home.
Again on July 2nd she texted me that I met with an accident and broke my hand. I replied take care. She said are you still angry with me,please give me a chance I want to normalise everything but I asked why should I give you a second chance which she didn't bother to reply.
Now fast forward to 4th semester, everything is going fine(My CG is 9.0) but now again she is staring at me and is trying to initiate a conversation but I ignore her completely but deep down I also want to initiate a conversation again. So what should I do? Kindly guide me!!
Thank You :⁠-⁠D

2024.05.13 21:22 user15929471658 Preschool aid with Sciatica denied access to chair, forced out of school

My Mother in Law has been working as a teacher’s aid at a public preschool in NJ for over 20 years. Her job description requires that she be able to lift objects up to 50 pounds, but reasonable accommodations can be made for people with disabilities/medical issues. It’s worth mentioning that she has never been asked to lift anything more than ~20 pounds in her career there.
Since it is a preschool, the majority of chairs in her classroom are preschooler sized. The teacher has an adult sized chair, but my MIL does not have one dedicated to her.
Recently, she developed some Sciatica-related back pain, and it was recommended by her doctor that she not lift objects heavier than 25 pounds while she recovers, and that she sits in a proper chair for a certain amount of time throughout the day to rest. Her doctor provided a note to that effect.
When she presented the note to her principal, the request was denied immediately on the grounds that a chair would take up too much space in the classroom and (paraphrasing) “if she can’t do her job correctly then maybe that’s a different discussion” and “she shouldn’t be sitting on the job anyway, she should be working”.
Since she was not provided a proper chair, she asked the janitor to give her a folding chair to sit on as needed, and to store when not in use. When the principal discovered the folding chair in the preschool classroom, it was removed and my MIL was reprimanded.
At this point, my MIL filed with the school district’s 504 accommodations committee to be provided a chair. After some behind the scenes conversations between the principal and the accommodations committee, it was decided that my MIL should be moved to a different school to avoid causing further problems. She does not want to move schools, as she’s nearing retirement and has worked at this school for over 20 years.
It is worth mentioning that the principal is relatively new to the school, and has been extremely rude to my MIL in the past. My MIL is the sweetest woman you will ever meet, and all she wants is a chair to sit on when tired, and to continue doing the job she loves so much at her school. She has no interest in stirring up drama, just in managing her pain while continuing to serve the children.
As a layperson, this feels like an ADA violation, and an unnecessarily cruel treatment of my MIL (who, whether relevant or not I don’t know, is an immigrant). I am looking for advice about whether or not she has any recourse in this situation, and if we should consider legal action against the school district.
My Wife’s family and I are fuming. All we want is for my MIL to be allowed to continue doing her job, and to be accommodated for her back pain, as prescribed by her doctor.
I would appreciate any advice you can provide. Thank you in advance for your help.

2024.05.13 20:40 Latticese Got an answer to a big question

I've always had a lot of questions about life, existence, purpose, the universe and God etc This lead me to reading a lot of books about philosophy, spirituality, strange encounters etc
However, none of the books answered the questions I had exactly. They gave me a lot of valuable insight and information though. One interesting practice I learned about is manifesting, it's the act of meditating or concentrating on something you want to ask the universe for. I'm usually skeptical but I'm the type of person who gives anything a try no matter how impossible at least once
I read a lot of stories and come across videos of many people who had uncanny things happen because of it, so I thought why not? At first I tried it for a silly reason, I was curious to see if I could get a specific guy to date. I kept writing (I'm meeting the most perfect partner for me soon)
Lo and behold within some few months I met him. It was downright freaky how much he fit my dating criteria and more. Everything about him from name, hair style, hair color, career, body type, age and personality was a great match. Even crazier was how he was joining a job that would allow us to work together. (Pharmaceutical chemist (him)/ clinical trials researcher (me))
We were really obsessed with talking to eachother and everything was going perfectly until he suddenly dropped that he had a gf.. then wife. He was low-key hinting at brushing it aside for us. I immediately noped out of there.
However, the way he freakishly fit everything I wanted stuck with me. Apparently this isn't uncommon when it comes to starting out with manifesting. People usually meet a fairly close match before the right person. Sometimes it arrives with a test of morals attached
I took a break from looking for a relationship because that was a wild emotional trip. I almost considered cheating but no way was I going to do that knowing what I knew now
I was dealing with inner conflict about my beliefs and decided to seek out answers about God instead. I kept writing "I get all the answers I need from God" repeatedly
Nothing seemed to happen at first, after some time I started seeing the number 144 everywhere, on the clock every time I picked up my phone, my step counter, word counter etc.
I didn't understand what it meant. I googled it and found that it means a strong connection with divine love. I didn't know what the number meant at first so it can't be confirmation bias
Feeling encouraged I kept going at it. Then one day while I was wondering to myself about how could God be in a state that is beyond time I got an answer
It first started with a question "what do you think time is?" Felt surprised by the voice but at the same time not, it was blended like it's coming from my own thoughts but I could somehow tell it wasn't me. Felt that they were kinder and more patient. so I answered "it's defined by movement" "Yes, movement in relationship to other objects"
I'm paraphrasing from memory here but essentially I was told
"Now you know how there is seconds, half seconds, quarters etc? How they could be divided indefinitely ex( 0.005, 0.000005)?"
"There is an infinity between each moment, second and hour, God is within every infinity"
It clicked for me right then. I couldn't believe how simple yet crystal clear the answer was. Being in a state of infinity can make the application of time meaningless, nothing. Now if we apply this logic to centimeters, any measurements basically now can you see how space can't define God either
Every century, decade or so we zoom into particles thinking that there couldn't be anything smaller only to find atoms, quarks and now quantum fields. It only keeps going and no one can say for sure for how long it goes. Infinity might be a baseline requirement for existence itself. I think we were looking at God this whole time, everything is one. While we don't have proof for infinity yet, the universe is said to be potentially spatially infinite and so is the chain for what matter is made of
I couldn't come up with this if I tried

2024.05.13 20:34 toomanythoughts003 Feels like I have ruined a decade of friendship

AITAH? This is more of a rant, but I can't help but feel like I did something really wrong and it's my fault. *This is a VERY lengthy post and the proofreading is minimal*
For context, friend A(26F) and I (27F) we are college friends now approaching 10 years of friendship. I have always considered her my best friend and almost family. We are at very different stages of life (she in med school in a different city and I have been working a corporate job since undergrad) and although we try to stay in touch when the other is free, we have been keeping less and less in contact recently (months go by). Nothing personal, we are just both very busy.
The other day, we caught up for the first time in a few months to catch up on life. We talked about the normal things (I.e. how school was going for her and how difficult things have been, my life/job/relationship). As we were catching up, I was telling her about how a first meeting with my boyfriend and one of my other very close friends (let's call her B) went very wrong. I explained to A that they had so much venom for each other when talking to me after and it really affected me that week. I expressed that I was especially upset when my boyfriend stated he didn't know how I could be friends with someone like B.
Now, B is very polarizing. I know that she's not everyone's cup of tea. She lives her life and I live mine. Nonetheless, she has been a good friend (similarly for ~10 years) and like any friend, there's parts of her I really don't agree with (and I actively call her out on it), but I also see redeeming qualities that I don't think other people see nor care to see. A does not like B at all. A always cited that she heard from others how bad of a person she was and how people did not understand how I could be friends with her. Honestly, I don't care random people think of me, but I couldn't help if A thought the same. In this call, A brought up situations where B said nasty things to her (obviously I was not present) and went vividly into how B is such a horrible person and that she did not like her. Let me remind you this was probably close to 5-6 years ago. Apparently A had told me this in the past, but she was upset that I defended B by saying "oh, I don't think she meant it like that". I recognized that was not the right way to respond and told her I am sorry that she said that to you, you don't deserve to be treated like that by anyone. A then tried psychoanalyzing B and saying "she manipulates people and uses their insecurities against them and this is why she loses so many friends". Ouch - this hit me because it sounded like she was saying I was too stupid to see that B is using me and only saying things I wanted to hear.
This conversation goes on for two hours and A mentions certain instances where I said stuff in recent months that "sounded like something B would say". I acknowledge she called me out - rightfully so - because I know sometimes I can say things that are not nice. I owned up to it and apologized and told her I recognized this and am actively trying to not think that way (because I truly have been - going to therapy, etc.). However, as this was after an hour of her attacking B, I couldn't help but like she was equating B's actions to my own. I progressively got frustrated (mind you this was way too late in the night for both of us) and told her I can apologize and takes steps to address things that I personally did wrong, but I feel attacked and like I need to take responsibility for what B did to her and pick sides. A then got annoyed and stated she never asked me to pick sides, but she felt like I was excusing what B said to her and it made her view how I perceived our friendship because I didn't seem to care how much it hurt her (paraphrasing because I can't remember the exact wording). I think I was more sensitive because it was calling back to another similar situation with my boyfriend recently that was really unpleasant to deal with, however A kept going at it. We both texted long messages the day after, but both of us were clearly still upset. She said she doesn't know how she's feeling and to not reach out until she's done with her exams (which is fair - she has the right to set her boundaries and prioritize school).
Seems so obviously dumb, but I can't help but genuinely ask - is what I am doing wrong and AITA in this situation? When B comes up in conversation, I can't seem to help defend her because people just seem to hate her so much. Maybe I am excusing her because "she's so misunderstood". She's a friend I truly care for as much as I do for friend A. I don't enjoy hearing two people (and let's include my boyfriend in there) continually bashing on people I care about, especially when I care about them also.

2024.05.13 20:08 throwawayinthetrashr AITA for telling my dad to burn his mom?

Gonna keep this as straightforward as possible. Yes, the title is clickbait-y but I need y'all to engage with this post.
Relevant Players: Dad (50sM), Me (20sF), and Grandma (70sF)
Grandma was sick for years (dementia) but Dad did not make arrangements for her death. He acknowledges this and regrets this, and wishes he would have but didn't want to accept her death. He says that she has always told him that she does not want to be cremated.
Now she has died and the life insurance payout is $10K.
General Breakdown of Expected Funeral Costs for What He Wants to Give Her:
Total: Approx $25K
So far, he hasn't wanted to budge on any of the expenses. Buying our own casket helps out some but breaks up the funeral home package. We don't know much about buying a plot via a website/non-funeral home to rely on that for budgeting. He does not want to cremate her.
This morning, I found out that he got approved for a loan. Idk for sure if he's accepted it. Idk the interest rate.
I felt like I couldn't let my dad go through with a loan for a funeral. I had a talk with him. I did my very best to be respectful. Here are the paraphrased highlights of the convo I had with him:
I did make the mistake of comparing the fact that he didn't even take a loan out for my college. It wasn't with the intention to shame him, but more illustrate that we've gotten through things without debt before. He said that banks wouldn't give him money then but he's been working on his finances and they will now.
I told him he allowed to be mad at me for saying these things and suggesting cremation, but I couldn't just sit here and not say anything as he prepares to go into debt. Maybe it wasn't my place since it's not my finances but I don't want to watch my dad make a bad decision.
I feel like shit because I'm not trying to be disrespectful or careless. And it hurt so bad to say to to my dad while he grieves. So, AITA? Did I do the right thing?

2024.05.13 18:51 ----___--___---- Company cut overpaid commute allowance from salary

Hello, I work part time at an international kindergarden. My salary is around ¥150.000. I am here on a working holiday and I generally don't have problems with my salary, as I enjoy the free time I have and it's enough to have a decent life and get zo know the country.
A few months ago I moved to another place, I told my boss and talkes with him about it several times. I also sent an email where I explained everything. There is no way he didn't know I moved. My initial commute allowance was ¥1.000 per day, after I moved I used the bike as my home is 10 minutes from my workplace.
In the first two months my salary had been correct, so I stopped double checking everything and apparently they kept paying the ¥1.000 per workday (I just checked it and they are right).
The thing is, about a week ago I had some disputes with my chef. It's noticeable he doesn't enjoy my presence anymore. Today I got my salary and it was ¥20.000 with a message saying (paraphrasing here) „We kept paying the commute allowance, we have cut the overpaid amount from your salary.”
They have never talked about this with me, not even messaged me about it and now I have ¥20.000 left for this month...
I think that 1. this clearly is personal. Even if it was an honest mistake, they way they just dis it abruptly without ANY warning is really shitty. 2. is that legal? This really seems sketchy tbh as it's their mistake and the way they did everything doesn't seem like they see it that way.
Can you guys give me any advice on how to handle this situation?

2024.05.13 18:50 Medical-Swimming1466 My life is a mess and I don’t know how to fix it.

Hello, I’m a freshman girl in high school and I need some help. I was never to bad with grades when I was a kid, elementary, and most of middle school until about 8th grade. My math teacher was a horrible teacher and she never really taught anything and with my ADHD I just couldn’t learn anything as she would just do a couple math problems on the board and just give us a worksheet. After that my grades started to plummet, I know it stresses my mom out so much because she just wants what’s best for me (context: my brother was a high school dropout after the impact and trauma of being the oldest sibling and the only one who could really understand what happens when my other brothers traumatic brain injury happened. It impacted us all but he got hit the hardest, he started to smoke weed in about 10th grade and he hung out with the wrong people, it got so bad my dad had to buy a gun to protect our house. My brother ended up in a troubled kids school and he wouldn’t even go to school most of the time no matter how hard my mom would try, my poor mother. She would drive past the school everyday 20 mins out of her way and would check for his car. she would also go into the school just for most of the time hear my brother didn’t even show up. When he was 18 after he completely dropped out he was kicked out the first day, it’s gotten a lot better now that he’s 26 but we still want him to be successful in life as he never was even able to get a genuine good job. When I started 8th after hanging out with the wrong people in 7th grade summer and I was vaping and smoking weed occasionally, until one day I met a girl that smoked everyday. So I would go to her house everyday. Until I was addicted. I started to buy from my brother (he only sold to me because he never wanted me to get laced) and 8th grade was the shit year. In the beginning I was at rehab when I fell so behind in school as they didn’t make us do anything. Freshman year I’m back at my old school and it’s horrible as ever. I realized how much high school grades truly were. I tried to stay motivated and I was for a tiny bit until I got a boyfriend he had to constantly hang out with me everyday and he makes me feel bad when I hang out with friends, he also hates that I don’t really like physical touch after an traumatic childhood event that included by neighbor I hate if even more. Because of him I truly get no time to work on anything and he drains me. But it’s so complicated and I feel so lost. I truly try so hard at school and now I have a 1.8 GPA and have to retake algebra 1 I feel so pathetic and I know how disappointed my mom is in me right now. She gets so anxious I’ll end up like my older brother. He was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder but won’t take meds. I’m just helpless and I’ll never be able to have a perfect gpa now either. I don’t know , I’m just lost.

2024.05.13 16:34 Stunning_Travel840 I (19M) was in a kind of relationship with a girl (19F) in my college.But she cheated on me. What to do?

So,basically it happened when I was in second semester.There was a girl who used to stare at me during lectures and there were various moments when we had a eye contact but I used to ignore that thing.Then things started to escalate when she started saying hello to me when I was with my friends.So, my friends suggested me to go and talk to her.So I gathered my confidence and approached her.She interacted with me but left very soon.Later that day she sent me Instagram request and we started having conversation about random things(politics, studies etc). She knew I was good in academics so she asked for help and as a human being I helped her and then after this we were talking 1-1.5 hrs daily on phone and when I didn't saw her message she used to call me continuously(One time she called me 7 times in interval of 3-4 mins) and every time she would ask me that if I am okay or has she committed some mistake that is why I am ignoring her.She used to ask for my suggestions for every thing.Then we started going to library,where I used to teach her on the expense of my own academics but I didn't cared.Things were going well. She became a support system for me.We used to go on walks etc. She appreciated my physique (I go to gym).But things started going downhill on June 3rd,it was her birthday and she didn't invite me,I thought she might be busy with her friends but foolish me called her and asked that am I just for her academic support!She denied and said that she wanted to give me party alone and I said I don't want a party from you .Things were not going well, we didn't called each other much. Fast forward to 16th June ,I was working on my project and it was around 3 in the morning and she texted me that his boyfriend is asking about you,My heart fell down and I just replied her it's your matter and you have to answer it but she insisted me to tell something to reply him.. Then I wrote a long paragraph in which I said I don't want to become a barrier between both of you.I trusted you but you betrayed me and used me. I wish you all the best and please don't try to text me again.. then she started spamming that sorry,I know it's my mistake. Don't leave me blah blah... I didn't reacted to her messages. Then I went to my bed and it was around 4:30 AM, I am having project submission at 9:00 AM and after 2 days I am having my end semester exams. I tried to sleep but after 1 hour, I woke up and was feeling heavy, I called my friend and told him that everything thing is over and I broke down. Then he and one more friend of mine came running to my room and took me to the balcony and consoled me and told me that don't be sad.. Then afterwards I gathered myself and went for the project evaluation,it went good but I was feeling a void. Then in the evening she texted me again asking me that If I am angry because of her.. my friends suggested me not to reply so I didn't reply.. But the night before the exams she texted me asking for the solutions of worksheets, I didn't send her.Then she called with a different number.But then again she started spamming. Then I texted her that I want to meet and want to end everything, she came and I gave her a short reality check and saw her tears rolling down her cheeks,I again said that please don't cry etc etc.... So I gave my exams and went home. Again on July 2nd she texted me that I met with an accident and broke my hand. I replied take care. She said are you still angry with me,please give me a chance I want to normalise everything but I asked why should I give you a second chance which she didn't bother to reply. Now fast forward to 4th semester, everything is going fine(My CG is 9.0) but now again she is staring at me and is trying to initiate a conversation but I ignore her completely but deep down I also want to initiate a conversation again. So what should I do? Kindly guide me!! Thank You :⁠-⁠D

2024.05.13 15:53 benkeiuk Excel Mac / Slicer greyed out unless Pivot is on the same worksheet as the original data

Hello, just a quick question regarding using the slicer on a Pivot table that's been created on a new sheet.
The option to use the slicer is greyed out and unlike the PC version, there's no option to link the data when you make the pivot table. (sorry, I forgot the exact function name)
It's not always practical having your pivot on the same worksheet as the original data but with the option for slicers greyed out if I try to create it that way, the whole functionality of pivots is reduced.
What's the work around here?
Thanks in advance

2024.05.13 15:34 Avotado-Coast Two weeks in. Honeymoon period and side effects are mostly gone. Now all I have is slightly elevated energy. (150XL)

First week was great. I had so much energy, didn't feel depressed at all, and felt happy and present for the first time in a decade.
That wore off and turned into some awful insomnia for the next week. I was only getting like 3-4 hours of sleep a night and my caffeine tolerance went to nothing. I stopped drinking caffeine and tried to wait out the side effects.
Two weeks in now, both the honeymoon and the insomnia are gone. Some of the depression is back, although I feel like I have enough energy to actually do something about it now. The drug has taken the roughest edge off the depression and made me more aware of what I was doing that was contributing to it and the negative mindset I'd developed with depression that I need to unlearn. So now I am trying to make some serious lifestyle changes, work on being more present, and doing some CBT exercises to unlearn the negative mindset.
It's difficult because depression causes you to let a lot of negative things into your life that you suddenly realize are very bad for you, but it also causes you to judge the good things as bad too. Doing the work to distinguish what's bad for you and needs to be discarded versus what's fine but you were viewing it incorrectly is challenging and probably why they suggest therapy in combination with drugs. I'm not in therapy at the moment because it's very expensive so I'm trying to just do this with journaling and careful reflection and some CBT worksheets.
So, overall, I feel like the drug has helped me have more energy but it's not going to be the only thing that saves me and I still have to put in the work.

2024.05.13 14:57 advanced_-_monkey Coping Cell Values from Worksheet A to Worksheet B – Formatting and Formula Errors

I have 2 worksheets in one workbook that are almost identical, but one has a few columns and tables hidden which in no way should be related to my issues. For context, the workbook is an insurance application, Sheet A to be filled by the applicant, Sheet B is where me and my team put in rates and other info we need to quote. So, I want all the values input on Sheet A to be duplicated in Sheet B with their corresponding cells.
Issue #1: I think I know why, but hoping there’s a work around .. The formula used to duplicate values from Sheet A to Sheet B do not translate with formulas in Sheet B. Ex.: Formula in cell on Sheet B to copy cell on Sheet A: ='Agent Filled SOV - Ex. Accts'!R5 & "" Formula on Sheet B using the value in the cell with the “copy” formula that now reads #VALUE and does not calc: =IF(R5,T5/R5,0)
Issue #2: Same scenario as Issue #1, but when I use the exact same “copy” formula in the 4 columns with Currency values listed, and the one column set as a Fraction, it freaks out! None of the Currency cells will read as currency, no matter what Number Format I choose for those cells/columns. Same goes with the decimal place for randomly some of the cells (even deep diving into the “More Number Formats …” section changes nothing), and only a few cells set as fractions actually are fractions and not decimals. The screens shots really explain this more.
