2024.05.13 23:28 Longjumping-Plant336 Move Roaming Profiles to OneDrive
Scenario: 30 users, AD properties Profile Path set to \\Fileserver\Users$\username, no GPO defined to manage folder redirection. End goal is to move user data to OneDrive.
I've read a number of articles but they all reference having a pre-existing GPO that can be reverted to copy user data back locally and then use another GPO to sync local data to OneDrive. There is no GPO for this customer managing folder redirection. The previous system administrators have simply manually typed in the \\Fileserver\Users$\username into the profile tab->Profile path. Below are referenced links that I've found.

Is there a possibility to use a new GPO to copy the data back locally so that I can then use another GPO to copy that data to OneDrive. And I'm hoping to do this silently if possible.
Thank you

2024.05.13 23:28 AlfrescoDog The Great Wall and Wall Street: Become a Better Trader by Understanding the Perils of đšđł Chinese Companies on đșđž U.S. Exchanges
 | â ïž Attention all traders and holders of Chinese stocks: You should read this if you donât know what a VIE is. Sure, most of you will be repelled by the great wall of text here (so many words!), but you might want to keep this post nearby. submitted by AlfrescoDog to wallstreetbets [link] [comments] Hello. You are aware that Wall Streetâs bustling bazaar hosts a veritable Forbidden City of Chinese companies draped in ticker tape rather than silk. Today, I will provide background and data on all allowed Chinese companies listed on three of the largest U.S. stock exchanges: New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Nasdaq, and NYSE American. I should note that a bustling troupe of 26 national securities exchanges are registered with the SEC in the United States. Most are owned by the Nasdaq, NYSE, or the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). Nonetheless, based on data from the World Federation of Exchanges as of August 2023, the NYSE and Nasdaq were the top two exchanges behemoths of the global financial stage, accounting for 42.4% of the total $110.2 trillion in valuation traded across 80 major global exchanges. đŒïž I had a photo of Wall Street to add here, but I'm only allowed to include one attachment. 2022 vs. 2023 According to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, as of January 8, 2024, there were 265 Chinese companies listed on the three U.S. exchanges, with a total market capitalization of $848 billion. That valuation is down from a year priorâJanuary 9, 2023âwhen a slightly lower 252 Chinese companies were tracked, but they represented a total market capitalization of $1.03 trillion. Since January 2023, 24 Chinese companies have entered the spotlight of the three U.S. exchanges, raising $656 million in combined initial public offerings (IPOs). On the other hand, eleven Chinese companies have folded their tents and delisted. China Securities Regulatory Commission The American stock exchanges witnessed a springtime bloom of Chinese IPOs in the first quarter of 2023. However, this listing activity came to an abrupt halt as the clock struck March 31, 2023. Why? The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) implemented a revised approval process for companies going public overseas. I wonât get into the details, but China has rules to cap foreign investment and ownership in sectors deemed strategic, such as technology. In the past, those regulations have driven several Chinese firms to the legal gymnastics of a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) structureâa clever contrivance that allowed them to leapfrog domestic constraints. However, under the revised review mechanism, every company, regardless of its corporate ownership structure, must now bow before the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) to register its intent to list overseas. đŒïž I had a photo of the CSRC building to add here, but I'm only allowed to include one attachment. The gatekeeper Therefore, although the CSRC touted this regulation as a necessary measure for enforcing regulatory compliance and preventing fraud (which is true), it also helps regulators act as gatekeepers poised to block any proposed listing they deem poses a risk to their national security or jeopardizes China's national interests. This process is wide-ranging. For instance, it includes an evaluation of the companyâs safeguards against disclosing what the Chinese Communist Party considers potential state secrets. But weâre not talking about top-secret black-ops projects meant to be hidden from international oversight committees. No⊠any company that collects personal information on more than one million users requires stern data security review mechanisms for its cross-border data flows. For perspective, TikTok has over 150 million users in the U.S. alone and is not subject to the same scrutiny from the Western nations. Currently, the CSRC approval process is reportedly taking upward of six months. Audit inspections and investigations in China Youâre probably unaware of the HFCAA, so letâs start there. The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act of 2020 (HFCAA) is a law that requires companies publicly listed on stock exchanges in the U.S. to disclose to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) information on foreign jurisdictions that prevent the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) from conducting inspections. That law laid down a stern ultimatum: If Chinese authorities kept obstructing the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) from inspecting audit firms in China or Hong Kong for three consecutive years, the companies audited by these entities would face a ban from the bustling arenas of the U.S. exchanges. Basically, either China allowed the PCAOB to inspect the audit firms, or the companies had to change to another auditing firm within three years. Then, as 2022 waned to its final days (literally, on December 29), President Joe Biden signed a Consolidated Appropriations Act, which contained a provision that will tighten the noose, shortening future timelines from three consecutive years to only two. Once they looked under the rock Finally allowed to conduct full investigations of audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong after over a decade of obstruction, the PCAOB announced the findings of its first round of inspections in May 2023, identifying deficiencies in seven of eight audits conducted by the auditing firms KPMG Huazhen and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Hong Kong. Audits of Chinese Companies Are Highly Deficient, U.S. Regulator Says On November 30, 2023, the PCAOB announced fines against three audit firms in China, totaling $7.9 million for misconduct. For perspective, that number included the second and third-largest fines ever doled out by the PCAOB. Why were the fines so bad? Those sneaky Chinese accountants Imagine a gaggle of accountants in the far reaches of PwC China and Hong Kong applying for a U.S. auditing curriculum. But alas, these foreign accountants find the U.S. auditing training tests a trifle tedious, so someone came up with the answers and decided to pass them around like a secret note in a schoolroom. From 2018 to 2020, over 1,000 of these busy bees completed their U.S. auditing online exams by copying the answers from two unauthorized apps with a fervor that would make a gossip columnist blush. When confronted with the evidence, PwC China and PwC Hong Kong response: đ€·ââïž And let me remind you, this happened late last year. Both firms are expected to provide reasonable assurance that their personnel will act with integrity in connection with internal training and to report their compliance to the PCAOB within 150 daysâApril 2024. đŒïž I was planning on using an AI-generated image of Chinese accountants cheating, but I'm only allowed to include one attachment. State-owned enterprises According to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, this graph represents the total market capitalization of Chinese companies listed in the three U.S. exchanges. Market Capitalization of Listed Chinese Companies The number of listed companies has stayed at around 260. However, all Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have delisted themselves from U.S. exchanges, most of them soon after the PCAOB announced it had secured complete access to Chinese auditorsâ records. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) Most tradersâand that means youâare unaware that 166 Chinese companies currently listed on the three major U.S. exchanges use a VIE structure. As of January 8, 2024, these companies have a market capitalization of $772 billion. For perspective, that represents 91% of the total market capitalization of all the Chinese firms listed on the three major U.S. exchanges. What the hell is a VIE? It is a complex corporate structure that grants shareholders contractual claims to control via an offshore shell company without transferring actual ownership in the company. A Variable Interest Entity (VIE) is a bit like a riverboat casinoâs cleverest trick, allowing a company to sell its chips on a foreign table without ever letting the players hold the cards directly. A VIE is a structure used primarily by companies that wish to partake in the financial streams of another country (the U.S. exchanges) without breaking local laws (Chinese laws) that prevent full ownership. Remember, Chinese companies structured themselves as VIEs to circumvent Chinaâs restrictionsânot U.S. restrictionsâon foreign ownership in industries the CCP deems sensitive. Therefore, when you hold stock in one of these Chinese companies, youâre not officially holding any actual ownership in the company. Because if you did, then that company could be breaking Chinese restrictive caps on foreign investment and ownership. Thatâs why they set up a façade, or a legal entity, that controls the business on paper, but the true power and profits are funneled back to the company pulling the strings. Granted, itâs not as shaky as asking a random stranger to hold your shares, but it is crafty, and you should be aware of the risks. Wait. What are the risks? You need to understand that thereâs a shadow of potential risk looming. Potential. Now, don't mistake me for the town crier of doom; I'm not proclaiming that the sky is falling on these shares. Nor am I declaring that disaster is certain for Chinese stocks. What I am pointing out, however, is the presence of a riskâa subtle beast that might just catch you off guard if you remain unaware. And letâs face it: Most of you are completely oblivious to these issues. There are two sides here: đșđž & đšđł đșđž Since July 2021, the SEC has imposed additional disclosure requirements for Chinese companies using a VIE to sell shares in the U.S. These requirements include greater transparency about the relationship between the VIE and its Chinese operating companies. In summary, the SEC aims to push VIEs toward the company behind them to offer more clarity on U.S. investor ownership in the Chinese operating company. đšđł On the other side, Chinese companies that list overseas using a VIE were not required to register their listings with the CSRC, as the VIE is not considered a Chinese company under Chinaâs law. This is the reason VIEs were used in the first place. However, as I mentioned earlier, after March 31, 2023, the CSRC established requirements for all new Chinese companies to register and receive permission before going public overseasâeven those planning to use VIE structures. Thatâs why there was a boom of Chinese IPOs before that deadline. Granted, on September 14, 2023, a Chinese auto insurance platform became the first company that received the elusive blessing of the CSRC to list, and it did so using a VIE arrangement, breaking the long, dry spell that had plagued Chinese IPOs when she listed on the Nasdaq four days later. However, even though VIEs received some sort of recognition from the CSRC, the VIE corporate structures still hold dubious legal status under Chinaâs laws. Remember, VIEs purpose is to avoid being considered a Chinese company under Chinaâs laws. So⊠do you see the potential risk here? Umm⊠No, I donât get it. Think about it. Either country could potentially increase regulations for VIEs, but if the SEC forces them to be more transparent, the VIE would not be able to circumvent Chinaâs restrictions. Thatâs one risk. Also, at some point, Chinaâs CSRC might question whether itâs appropriate to recognize a corporate structure that was created to circumvent its laws. Which leads me to this: Whatâs keeping the CCP from deciding to start reigning in those VIEs? The answer is simple: Theyâre not in a hurry to do so because if misfortune should befall, itâll be the foreign investors whoâll see their assets deflated like a punctured balloon. đŒïž I would've added a nice image or two by now, to balance all the text and make this more appealing, but I'm only allowed to include one attachment. If a VIE-listed company goes private at a lower valuation, businesses fail, or thereâs a valuation discrepancy, the enforceability of a VIEâs contractual arrangements is unproven in Chinese courts. With VIE-listed companies, foreign investorsâ recourse in the Chinese legal system is as elusive as a catfishâs whisper. Yeah, but thatâs unlikely⊠Sure. Of course, Iâm not saying every Chinese stock will have these issues. But it can happen. And it has happened. The unlucky case of Luckin Coffee Due to the lack of compliance with international audit inspections, Chinese corporate financial statementsâ reliability for valuation and investment is not assured. Such is the case of Luckin Coffee. In a bold bid to capture Wall Streetâs hearts and wallets, Luckin Coffee showed up dressed in finery, flaunting alluring figures of revenue, operations, and bustling customer traffic. At her grand debut, the stock sashayed onto the Nasdaq at $17, swirling up a storm of interested buyers to the tune of $561 million in capital. For a fleeting moment, Luckin shimmered like a star over the financial firmament, boasting a market capitalization that soared to a heady $12 billion, with shares peaking just over $50. Ah, but as the adage goes, âTruth will out.â And out it cameâthe revelation of those embroidered numbers caused the company's stock to plummet like a stone tossed from a bridge, leaving a wake of investor losses and culminating in a disgraceful delisting from Nasdaq 13 months after her debut. Luckin Coffee Drops Nasdaq Appeal; Shares to Be Delisted đŒïž I would've added an AI-generated image of a cup of Luckin Coffee jumping from a bridge, but I'm only allowed to include one attachment. Well⊠but that wonât happen to me⊠Uh-huh. On April 2, 2020, after announcing that employeesâincluding its chief operating officerâfalsified 2.2 billion yuan (about $310 million) in sales throughout 2019, Luckin's shares nosedived -80%. This is from one of you unluckin bastards: I've lost 240k on Luckin Coffee, all my life savings. Now I'm broke af. Iâm sure many of you might reckon yourselves immune to a similar debacle since you think youâre smart enough to use stops to escape any runaway losses. It's time to wake up and smell the Luckin coffee. Chinese news catalysts often strike like lightning at night, and the stops you set under the sun cannot shield you from storms that explode in the moonlight. Dumbass. Chinese regulators can be mercurial Even though the PCAOB is currently able to perform its oversight responsibilities, concerns remain around the possibility that Chinese regulators might backtrack, potentially clamping down once again on the PCAOB's ability to access audit firms and personnel across mainland China and Hong Kong. If that happens, the PCAOB can quickly declare a negative determination. HOWEVER, this action would only start the countdown under the HFCAA, giving U.S.-listed Chinese companies a window of TWO years to secure services from an auditor in a compliant jurisdiction or face a trading ban. Thatâs it. Of course, within that time, Chinese regulators could agree once again to allow access to the PCAOB, thus resetting the two-year countdown without significant consequences. What lurks in the shadows Although the risk of PCAOB non-compliance looms over these financial engagements, it is the ghost of potentially misconstruedâor, let's say, creatively presentedâearnings reports coming to light that should scare you most. Or, on the flip side, present the biggest opportunity. I believe it is possible that there are several ghosts out thereâghastly financial figures dressed up a tad too finelyâlingering in the shadows, unchecked and unchallenged. If theyâre found and unveiled under the harsh spotlight of scrutiny, the fallout would be immediate and severe, leaving investors scrambling. And if that happens, itâs not about diamond-holding through the plunge since the company might opt (or be forced) to delist from the U.S. exchanges. đŒïž I would've added an AI-generated image of an attractive young Chinese ghost woman, implying both the allure of Chinese stocks, but also the risk of getting closer. However, I'm only allowed to include one attachment. You need to understand a crucial concept. Many traders believe that if a company messes up, plunges, and gets delisted, it means the company is basically overâdead. But thatâs not the case here. A delisting does not equal death. I mean, Luckin Coffee is still out there, alive and kicking. 16,218 stores and counting, covering 240+ cities across China.You would think that a company like that would not be able to cheat on its balance sheet. Yeah, just like you would think PwC China would notice 1,000 accountants cheated their way through the U.S. auditing curriculum. đŒïž I would've added an AI-generated image of a Chinese accountant dabbing like a boss for getting his cheated accounting diploma, but I'm only allowed to include one attachment. So⊠is it too far-fetched to believe more ghosts might come to light, now that the PCAOB can supervise the numbers? I mentioned a flip side since you could specialize in tracking everything the PCAOB does. If you can get a whiff about increased auditing on a certain company, you might decide to play a short position in anticipation of a potential ghost coming to light. Be warned, though, that itâs not as if they tweet out which companies theyâre auditing. If I were to do it, I would research and join whatever digital saloon young Chinese ledger-keepers convene in. Perhaps Iâd stumble upon a post by SumYungGuy or another pleading for advice on how to parley with the PCAOB Laowai making a fuss over his figures. The poor lad's in a pickle, you see, since he cheated the exam and doesnât know squat. Methodology For the purposes of this table, a company is considered Chinese if:
I should also point out that this list does not include companies domiciled exclusively in Hong Kong or Macau. â ïž Remember, this list only considers Chinese companies listed on three of the largest U.S. stock exchanges: New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Nasdaq, and NYSE American. Oh, and btw, this isnât a list I came up with. This info was compiled by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. Itâs their methodology and list. Since the majority is a VIE, Iâve marked the ones that are not registered as a VIE with an asterisk (*). This is determined using the most recent annual report filed with the SEC. A company is judged to have a VIE if:
Chinese companies listed on U.S. exchanges Companies are arranged by the size of their current market capitalization. All companies utilize a VIE corporate structure, except those marked with an asterisk (*). BABA Alibaba Group Holding Limited PDD Pinduoduo Inc. NTES NetEase, Inc. JD JD.com, Inc. BIDU Baidu, Inc TCOM Trip.com International, Ltd. TME Tencent Music Entertainment Group LI Li Auto BEKE KE Holdings BGNE BeiGene * ZTO ZTO Express (Cayman) Inc. YUMC Yum China Holdings Inc. EDU New Oriental Education & Technology Group, Inc. HTHT H World Group Limited * NIO NIO Inc. YMM Full Truck Alliance Co. Ltd VIPS Vipshop Holdings Limited TAL TAL Education Group LEGN Legend Biotech * MNSO Miniso * BZ Kanzhun Limited XPEV Xpeng BILI Bilibili Inc. IQ iQIYI, Inc. HCM HUTCHMED (China) Limited * ATHM Autohome Inc. QFIN Qifu Technology RLX RLX Technology LU Lufax ATAT Atour Lifestyle Holdings * WB Weibo Corporation ZLAB Zai Lab Limited * ZKH ZKH Group Ltd * YY JOYY Inc. GOTU Gaotu Techedu, Inc. MSC Studio City International Holdings Limited * GCT GigaCloud Technology Inc GDS GDS Holdings Limited ACMR ACM Research, Inc. * HOLI Hollysys Automation Technologies, Ltd. * FINV FinVolution Group JKS JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. * DQ Daqo New Energy Corp. * MOMO Hello Group Inc. CSIQ Canadian Solar Inc. * EH Ehang TUYA Tuya Inc. NOAH Noah Holdings Ltd. HUYA HUYA Inc. KC Kingsoft Cloud YALA Yalla * These are only 51 of the 261 Chinese companies currently listed on the major U.S. exchanges to comply with rule three. I kept the market cap minimum at $750M to allow for some wiggle room. I mentioned earlier that the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission had 265 tickers, but that was on January 8, 2024. Since then, three companies have been acquired, and the other one has voluntarily delisted. As you can confirm, the vast majority is structured as a VIE. I was going to include charts to illustrate how several Chinese stocksâaside from the ones with the biggest market capsâtend to display sudden rallies, followed by after-hours reversals. It is important to recognize them, whether you want to capitalize on them, or avoid them entirely. But I can't add any more attachments, so... Besides, it's unlikely that many of you have even read this far without images. Have a good day. |
2024.05.13 23:27 ShmuppyPaws UI Questions
This is a two part question of sorts, please bear with me! I'm not very computer literate so feel free to answer this as though I was a four year old.
1.) In the past few days, I noticed that flight paths aren't working for me. The flight path map will pop up, but when I click the destination symbol, nothing happens. Some quick googling revealed that completely clearing my addons / cache (interface, cache, WTF, etc.?) will fix the problem... but there surely has to be a better way, one where I won't have to completely reconfigure my game?
2.) Speaking of my addons / settings overall, I'm currently using an older PC, and I'm concerned that it may give up the ghost sooner than later. Is there a way to copy my exact addon settings over to a new computer, 1:1?
Again, thanks for bearing with me!

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
 | A Time to Forget About Ordinary Excel Sheets and Take an Enhanced Data Upload Tool submitted by Grouchy_Carpenter489 to u/Grouchy_Carpenter489 [link] [comments] 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? â Itâs 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? â 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. â Limited knowledge of whatâs 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. â 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. Wouldnât 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 Loaderâs 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 dataâs security by routing data from the Excel template directly to Oracle Cloud without a third-party server. The Simplified Loader template doesnât 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. SupportâBoth 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 doesnât need any plugin installation on the userâs machine. When the user opens the Simplified Loader file, the Simplified Loader toolbar appears. Users wonât 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 doesnât need any involvement from IT to install the plug-in. |
2024.05.13 23:24 No_Peanut_3289 Our 18 year old rat terrier dog is super hyper and aggressive with food
So to help with a backstory we adopted a rat terrier dog at 14 years old from our local humane society, she was rescued from a puppy mill and unfortunately spent all of her 14 years in a puppy mill until we adopted her.
She is positives for heart worms also and nothing we can do with that part. Anyways for the past 4 years she has been really aggressive when it comes to eating. She is always hungry (surprise for her age), when she eats itâs always big chunks and eats as if she has never eaten before. She also will be aggressive and attack my other dogs while they eat their own food, she also will try to bite our fingers because she thinks we have food.
We took her to our local vet a few times already and explained to them how lately she has gotten worse over the last year or 2 with this. All they gave was some pills that would help calm her, but of course they never worked. We tried some calming chews from Walmart and still doesnât work. We asked if they could do some bloodwork because she may have some condition as to why she is always hungry and aggressive but they donât want to.
Just wanted to ask if thereâs anything we can try to help her being always hyper and aggressive with food? She already over eats

She is positives for heart worms also and nothing we can do with that part. Anyways for the past 4 years she has been really aggressive when it comes to eating. She is always hungry (surprise for her age), when she eats itâs always big chunks and eats as if she has never eaten before. She also will be aggressive and attack my other dogs while they eat their own food, she also will try to bite our fingers because she thinks we have food.

2024.05.13 23:22 Tannir48 A Brief Analysis of 319 Thresh Top Games
 | the least attractive Thresh enjoyer looks just like this submitted by Tannir48 to ThreshMains [link] [comments] TL;DR THRESH Hello, I'm an NA diamond player and because I have major brain damage I play Thresh top. As a sigmachad member of the bros without hoes society I get up to a lot of things in the mancave, such as being hardstuck and crying sometimes. Now this is not your average toplane Thresh post, I didn't discover how to be worse Ornn yesterday, or last year, but in 2018 when I woke up and thought 'how can I be gold 4 for the rest of my life' and 7 million mastery points and three bought accounts later I'm proud to announce we've reached the peak burgerville (diamond north america). Today I thought I would look at my last 800+ games, specifically the 319 Thresh top games played over the last few months. Because when you have no actual achievements to flex, you can always show just how addicted you are to the virginity generator that is this video game Now as a man who does math for fun I will have to proceed with the unpleasant task of forcing you to look at numbers. However I think this sub can always appreciate the sweet tones of misery so if that bothers you, then you might be in the wrong place. If that does not bother you, then welcome to the worst Post of your life To understand the numbers we're looking at here first I want to divide up the data between those that were played as AD Thresh and the ones that were played as tank, and then divide again between ones that were played as a utility tank (spamming CDR) and ones played as a traditional tank. Now you might be thinking, why didn't you stick to one strategy you fucking clown. Well, Thresh top is like ice cream. Dogshit comes in so many flavors so you might as well try them all. Confidentially is also my reasoning for dropping Thresh jungle emerald 2 because what is hell without the fire TABLE 1-A
As we can see here, I can barely manage a positive win rate on this pick despite playing more games in 3 months than 90% of players do in a year. I can't tell whether that's because I'm really bad or because of the pick but my brain stopped working when Obama was president so I'm going to say its both. However this is still better than the numbers C9 Fudge was posting at Worlds so as a fellow career failure maybe NA esports was my calling all along. Now, as we can see full tank Thresh has the best win rate by a narrow margin over utility Thresh. AD Thresh has the highest damage per minute, it would be very sad if it didn't, as well as the highest income but is completely useless in every other way. Tank Thresh has the highest % damage mitigated, slightly higher than utility Thresh, and higher income. Utility Thresh has the best crowd control, CC'ing enemies over 2.6% of total game time on average so clearly the 100 haste is really paying off. Since tank Thresh has the best overall numbers I will be looking at it in detail. This is a histogram and a corresponding density plot of the damage per minute dealt by me against enemy champions - and the percentage of damage mitigated for all damage that I took in a game. Now I spent way too much time understanding the deep mathematical details of rectangles and so you will be forced to care about it for the next 30 seconds. Frequency is just the count within a bin (an arbitrary range of values in a histogram) while density is the probability per unit - the more 'dense' the cluster of observations, the greater the density within some value range. A histogram assumes a constant level of probability density within each bin and we do that because maybe I just don't owe you a fucking explanation. I like rectangles https://preview.redd.it/m5q54odx990d1.png?width=698&format=png&auto=webp&s=77a974239c1607459fd05f39037e7ba2c9c781f2 This is the percentage of damage that toplane Thresh dealt, physical, magical, or true, to enemy champions in every game visualized as probability density. The vast majority of the time my true damage hovered around 0, physical damage varied between 10 and 20%, and the percentage done as magic damage was vastly higher. See guys, his passive isn't useless when you sit in lane for 35 minutes to do 10 extra damage to Nasus on hit Bitches got curves but I got one hell of a gaussian normalized probability density function (in tricolor!) Here are the exact numbers for each damage type TABLE 2-A
Now that we have the distribution of the relevant variables with toplane Thresh I wanted to see how they varied with each other because I really need something to fill up space on my github project portfolio. This can be done using a correlation plot which essentially tells you the strength and direction of a linear relationship, if it exists, between any two pairs of variables. as they say one plot a day keeps the statistician away Many correlations here are not particularly strong and some are very trivial such as physical damage proportion dealt by the enemy team obviously having a strong negative correlation with the magic damage proportion. Here we have some truly staggering relationships such as
can you imagine 300 years of mathematical discovery culminating in a straight fucking line Between the two outputs below we can see that it is. There is a steady positive association, it is statistically significant, with an adjusted Rsquared of 0.279. That is, 27.9% of variability in Thresh's durability can be attributed to game duration which seems reasonable because League is a lot like life, it really sucks without money. Joe Biden stimulus please I need to win Below are the residual (error) and quantile quantile plot for this model. These are to test whether the linear relationship is valid, which it is so we can all pat ourselves on the back for plotting a straight line. The only issue is the QQ plot indicates the errors are not normally distributed, and I could segway this into a bad joke about them having a paranormal distribution but in the interests of making this post 10% less cancer I will not do so here WHAT IS A THEORHETICAL QUANTILE Non normality is the assumption that's nice to have but you don't actually care about. It mostly just means that OLS may not be best possible fit in this case. Since I have not impressed upon you just how bad of a tank Thresh actually is I have made a bar plot of the above data where game time is split into below 20 and above 40 minutes with 5 minute intervals in between, as that's when most games were played. As we can see here resistances steadily increase due to souls, levels, and gold from 49.6% mitigation below 20 minutes to 66.9% past 40 minutes. If I dedicated as much time to this pick as I did to my future I might actually have one do you think Donald Trump reads theory? Below are several plots for toplane Thresh's average win rates for various proportions of damage on the enemy team. Here there is a loose trend that when the enemy team deals more magic damage toplane Thresh's win rate is worse. Similarly, there is a modest trend towards a higher win rate for higher proportions of physical damage dealt by the enemy team, as we would expect with Thresh. A very small drop in win rate can be attributed to an increase in true damage dealt by the enemy team, though as discussed this effect would be larger if the share of overall damage was higher. the anomaly for below 30% magic damage is due to low sample size. dont ask me to play more, monk mental is strong but monkey mental is stronger The next thing I wanted to look at was whether the magic damage proportion on the enemy team had any effect on the percentage of damage mitigated on toplane Thresh. This should be a reasonable thing to look at as Thresh has no magic resist. However he does when I introduce the enemy mages to Kaenic Rookern, because I got 99 problems and Lux ain't one. As you can see, there is minimal to no effect. This is presumably this is due to Thresh naturally mitigating more damage vs lower AP comps and mitigating a similar amount vs high AP comps as I will stack MR vs them leading to a consistent ~60% damage mitigated vs these teams. Real wardens don't want a woman they want a god damn magic resist scaling on souls A similar spread may be observed for physical damage proportion. Nice passive I think I got more impact collecting tier 1 charzards in pokemon go Nor is much effect observed vs true damage overall though this is because nobody does true damage until sword momma fiona beats me with her magic shit stick. When true damage proportions are higher, above 15%, damage mitigated is noticeably lower which is the sort of advanced reasoning that should get me a worthy publication in the next edition of Dimwits Weekly why are we still here just to suffer Here are toplane Thresh's general statistics vs teams that have more magic damage than physical (vs AP) and teams that have more physical damage than magical (vs AD). I mostly played vs majority physical teams but also played 84 games vs majority magic teams. Against majority physical teams I had a 13% higher win rate and my numbers were better across the board except obtaining one less kill (median) and having equal assists and CC time. Many of these differences were modest. In a 27 minute game (approximately the average between comps) I earned about 250 more gold and did about as much additional damage against the AD vs the AP teams. TABLE 1-B
i guess you could say these items are making me a real THORN in the side of enemy teams as thornmail is no.1 In another staggering conclusion armor reduces physical damage, especially sunfire, which has a 71.1% win rate against AD teams. Most other armor items have a 60%+ win rate, such as thornmail, tabis, and frozen heart. MR items do well vs majority AD teams as they're blocking the 10 damage Renekton R is doing to me every five minutes. On the other hand, MR items do poorly against actual magic damage with abyssal being the only one with more wins than losses. Mercury's treads are especially bad with a 36.7% win rate in 49 games. https://preview.redd.it/kfw7mda4f90d1.png?width=684&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b3745af13d68eca417dc282c0f951f5f6c28b2e One factor that is consistently, positively, associated with a higher win rate is when I actually get to play the game and do damage. Win rate increases from below 40% to over 70% from under 400 damage per minute to 700+. As we can see, when I take out those years of pent up teenage nerd rage on the green elo I tend to win. WHIPPING THE CORPSE In general, when damage per minute is above average toplane Thresh has a very high win rate but when damage is below average the win rate is almost 30% lower. This indicates that durability is not the only factor in whether tank toplane Thresh can win but also depends on whether the enemy is trolling even harder than you are TABLE 1-C
TABLE 2-C
The lack of viability of thornmail as a viable option for toplane Thresh hinders its viability vs AP heavy teams but this may be compensated for thru methods as suggested here. In general toplane Thresh does very well into high AD teams because you can make Garen your bitch but struggles into all AP because the green ghost is spooky until the powerpuff girls start blasting Gentlemen, that concludes this post. I'm racking up the mastery points on my current account (950k and counting) while losing elo faster than the guys who bought puts on NVIDIA. Also my one year chat restriction expires in two months so get ready for some real high quality content because the League of Children has nothing on my real life. The build will be posted in the comments, try it whenever you get bored of winning and maybe you'll join me in the only thing scarier than an eldritch horror show, Emerald 2 23 lp. |

 | If youâre shifting to a reality that has pretty popular characters, you can go to the Character.AI app, pick a character, then you want to go to the top right corner of your character conversation and click the voice gram with the plus sign. submitted by Intj-scorpio to realityshifting [link] [comments] It will automatically pull up character voices for your character AI, and then you just listen and choose which one you like/which ones more accurate. Then, you will click screen record and start asking your AI to say specific things. Example: âtell me that you need me to shiftâ âtalk to me about reality shifting and how much you love meâ etc. After youâve collected all the voices you want, youâll put them into a video editing app and edit the sentences your character says to be closer together. Then, youâll copy paste that video and continue to do that until the video is hours long. Then, youâll listen to it every night to make your chances of shifting higher, and motivate you to shift. Iâve been doing this for days now and Iâve been feeling way more motivated |

2024.05.13 23:18 Helpful-Ad6454 I need help
So I have a girlfriend and we've been dating since February and for a few weeks I've been questioning how I really feel about her. Sometimes, I would feel like I wanted to break up but I still try to make myself love her, however, I always end up thinking ahout breaking up.
These past few days, It has gotten worse and I've been having more thoughts about breaking up. I don't think I'm really ready to be committed to someone and share my life with someone. I tend to enjoy doing my own stuff nowadays than talking to her.
A little bit of backstory... Last year, I had about 4 relationships over the span of 5 months.
August: The 1st lasted 4 days, I broke up cause I found out another girl liked me and I got attracted to her. (Lets call her Althea)
Aug - Sep: The 2nd lasted about a month and that was with Althea. It came to me that she was hopping on a relationship with another boy so we just broke up.
The very day Althea and I broke up, I started dating another girl again (Lets call her Rhea)
Sep - Oct: My relationship with Rhea lasted a month and that was one of the more serious relationships I've had.
I broke up with her because I lost feelings
Oct - January: I stayed single for a few weeks then I started having a relationship with a guy and that was the longest of them. We lasted 3 months.
He broke up because his parents didnt approve.
A little over 3 weeks later, I caught feelings for a girl
Now shes the one im dating.
Within our relationship, her friends have approved of me and they've had good thoughts about me and they always thought we would last.
I feel so bad and guilty because if I broke up with her, not only will she get heartbroken but all the people I've met in her life with probably dislike me too and it doesnt feel good. I know if I broke up with her, I'd disappoint others around me cause they'd find out I broke another person's heart.
Somehow I just find it difficult to value my own happiness over what others think. It doesnt feel good to have dated 4 people in such a short time.
I really want to stop this dating madness and focus on myself for the mean time. How do I bring it up to her that I want a break up?

2024.05.13 23:17 RaccoonSweaty3741 LO liked my Tinder Profile after 4 years NC, what should I do?
Context
I first met him through a modern paid dating website, it was only 1 time for me out of interest. LO is 8 years older than me and was already successful back then, whereas I only became successful professionally 1 year after meeting him.
During our initial meeting, he kind of first stared at me. During conversation he was quite boastful about who he is and who he knows which made me a bit sceptical. But he also mentioned that he's a relationship type, likes children, and talked about some bad dates he'd had. After we were intimate, we saw each other a second time, he asked first, I asked to remove the paid context and instead of doing what he liked I could focus on my pleasure to so to speak. When I got there he mentioned that he thought I don't like him. I am usually not a forward person but just kind of awkwardly denied that and said of course I like him. But afterwards he opened his arms to hug me in bed, which felt unexpectedly intimate. However, I think I accidentally offended him during our conversation afterward. Which must have been my first serious clue that I was getting extremely nervous around him and developing limerence. A weird mixture of initial hostility with sparks of interest and a slow warming sprinkled into it.
For a few months, I didnât hear from him. The first week I felt like I was hit by a truck.
Then, out of the blue, he sent me a heart emoji with no text. I knew he was on a world trip for a year during that time, which added to the complexity of the situation. But I figured it was a mistake or the wrong receiver or a test to see if I blocked him so I did not respond.
When he eventually asked to meet again months later after he had returned, he was somewhat colder, we were totally unfamiliar again, wanting to see me for physical purposes and complimented my looks in a sexual context. I was surprised by anyone thinking of me for that. But I was conflicted because somehow these interactions were so cut short, so confusing, so much sense of underlying issues that I cannot put into words. I would like to do physical stuff but normally I think it doesn't necessitate to be so short with things. We agreed to meet, but on the day of the meeting, I canceled due to me being conflicted, scared, you name it. We rescheduled, but then he said he was tired on the day we were supposed to meet. Weeks later, I messaged him about something unrelated. He mentioned he would be available for a week before traveling again, and we agreed to meet once more. When we finally met again, we immediately initiated physical things. Afterward, he noticed I didnât talk much and mentioned it. At this point I was annoyed about the inability to interact like normal human being with each other. In the end I gave him a goodbye kiss on the cheek, just before leaving in the doorway internally letting go and recognizing that this would be the last time in my life that I would see LO. I didnât reach out to him after that, and he didnât contact me either. I eventually blocked him, also due to a new relationship.
I did anonymously check his social media once in a while, sometimes obsessively. Throughout this time, he has been single, actively looking for a relationship on social media, and consistently sharing quotes about love, fear of love, and people wondering why he was single.
I have purchased and read books that he read, trying to understand who he is internally, just out of limerence. I had no intention of imposing myself upon him or demanding closeness. I discovered my favorite verse about love in one of the books his activity led me to, and he posted the same verse months later. All of this from a distanceâfantasy, just writing verses, poetry, and trying to distract my mind from it, finding normality and continuing my life.
Present day
I accidentally moved closer to his area and I think we walked past each other once or twice. There seemed to be some staring, but I looked away and marched on. Maybe I am crazy but I think it was him
Four years later, I saw him on Tinder, and he liked my profile.
My feelings are a complex tapestry of emotions, ebbing and flowing like the tide. I experienced intense longing and dreams of him at night for four years, making my heart ache with desire. It took every bit of my inner self control and my last dignity to not reach out to him and keep him blocked during that time. Despite getting married in the meantime, that relationship is nearing its end, adding to the turmoil. I'm caught in a moral quandary, feeling guilty yet overjoyed by the thought of him. A blend of excitement and fear courses through my veins, creating a constant, anxious hum that resonates throughout my body, making every moment feel charged with both possibility and dread.
I have never spoken to anyone about this
What would you do? What should I do?
He probably swipes everyone
I think I am the last woman on earth he would be interested in
It would be so painful for me to match and him unmatching or not writing me
But he mentioned using the app years ago, although I recently (accidentally) moved close to where he lives he could have probably swiped me before. Or maybe he only used Raya. I am screwed
Please don't hate on this too much, i know how horrible it all it. I truly know.
TLDR
I met him through a paid dating website and we saw each other a couple of times, developing an unexpected intimacy. However, our interactions were often confusing and left me feeling conflicted. After a few months of silence, he reached out again, but our meetings remained brief and complicated. Eventually, I stopped contacting him and blocked him, especially after entering a new relationship. Despite this, I occasionally checked his social media, noticing he was single and looking for love.
Years later, I moved closer to his area and think I saw him a few times. Recently, I found him on Tinder and he liked my profile. For four years, I've had intense longing and dreams about him, even as my marriage is ending. I'm torn between excitement and fear at the thought of reconnecting, feeling morally conflicted.
What should I do? I'm afraid of rejection and the pain it might bring, but also can't shake these feelings. I haven't spoken to anyone about this before.

2024.05.13 23:17 Roughi3 I need help
I am a male (18) and i have been diagnosed with epilepsy about 4 years ago. When i was 14 i got my first epeleptic seizure, i didn't think much of it at first because the doctor said it was curable. But as time went forward it got worse and worse and it really fucked me up because many times not only were there mental problems but also physical ones. Because i had so many seizures where i fell on my head. One time i fell on my face and some of my teeth fell out and i had to get stitched up ( i don't know where i fell precisly but it was somewhere on the street) and i noticed that my memory is all messed up i can't remember much of my past because all of the stress and the seizures that i got. I didn't get bullied because of it but a "friend" of mine thaught it was funny and made a joke of how i start shaking when i get a seizure. I thaught that was really fucked up and i wanted to bash his head in but it was complicated because he's family of a good friend of mine so i just laughed it off but it really frustrated me. Ever since i got depressed because of this disease i stopped caring about school and i skipped school a lot wich i regret SOOO much. Now im still having trouble with school im trying to get my GED but it's really hard for me because i have no motivation anymore. My parents always argue with me for not going to school and they think im some kind of failure an im doing this because i don't care about them and im selfish but they don't know all i ever wanted to do was make them proud. It's not until early this year that i stopped getting seizures and im kind of happy about that. But i think there's been too much damage done for me to feel normal and as i am growing im starting to need to take more responsibility like earning money wich also is a big reason for my unhappines. I was always a good student and smart enough but now, i lost all of that. Many times i had suicidal thoughts but i know i can't kill myself because i just can't do that to my family it breaks my heart even thinking of it. I am sick and tired of holding all of this stress frustrasion and sadness in and i need help can anyone please tell me what to do because im lost and don't know what to do with my life anymore.

Training
I really have enjoyed the 80/20 method so I used the Marathon Level 2 18 Week training plan from Matt Fitzgerald's book. Stepping up to running 6-7 days a week consistently was daunting, but I found myself getting into a really good routine with it. I'm not really an early morning person, so most of my workouts were in the late mornings/afternoons. I generally feel the best when I workout in the afternoons, so I figured that the marathon being in the evening would actually work well for me. I only missed 7 workouts over the whole training cycle (mostly recovery runs and a few speed runs), and modified another 7 of them due to tune-up races or travel. I did a bit of strength training in the beginning of my training plan, usually 20 minute full body dumbbell sessions, but stopped those I would say around 1/3 - 1/2 of the way through the plan as the runs got longer and I had less time to add strength training on top. I had a 16 mile marathon simulator run at week 15 that went great -- my target MP was 8:32, and I averaged 8:05 during the simulator. Weather was 40s and rainy, and there were hills on this route. Overall I felt my training was leading me towards meeting my B goal, and at least beating my old marathon PB of 3:59 that I ran with less focused training.Pre-Race
I focused on carb-loading the few days before the race, and headed to Luxembourg on Friday to settle in the day before. Since this is a night race that starts at 7pm, I decided to do my shakeout run that morning, and in the afternoon I had a nap to really relax and be prepped for the night race.Race
I got to the venue 2+ hours before the start as recommended, and stayed out of the sun while waiting for the start. The sun didn't go down until about 9pm, so for the first half of the race conditions were sunny and temps in the 70s. Unfortunately they start the half marathon and marathon all together so the race was quite crowded, and I did spend a good amount of time weaving to make sure I could still keep my pace plan. The course is quite fun, running through lots of Luxembourg downtown, parks, and residential areas with people all over the course cheering you on. There are a lot of DJs with music set up and flashing lights, so it's a party atmosphere. I stuck to my fuel plan for about the first half of the race, having a gel every 25 minutes. As you can see from my splits, I felt pretty great until about mile 17. Cardiovascularly I felt fine, and looking at my heart rate zones I stayed in Zone 2 and 3 most of the time. What really hurt were my quads. It was a soreness I really had to push to overcome, and ultimately couldn't keep up with my goal mile paces. I couldn't believe it, but I drank my whole 1.5L hydration vest about 3 hours in! I stopped taking my gels because the thought of putting more flavored sugar in my mouth was very unappealing. My stomach wasn't upset at all, but I really craved cool water to rinse my mouth out. I have never had that feeling in my mouth during training, but I usually don't have that many gels during my long runs. During long runs I had a gel about every 45 minutes. I was really trying to push the last few miles to make sure I left it all on the course, and my official time is 4:00:48. I know virtual races are no comparison, but one positive is you get to stop running right at 26.2! I already knew this course was a bit longer, with the planned route on my Garmin at 26.38, but I ended up running 26.68.Post-Race
Of course I was disappointed post-race. I really thought my training supported a better time. I was wondering if I really gave it my all, but on the tram ride back to my Air BnB I felt lightheaded and my quads were just killing me so I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. It was sometime past midnight when I got back to my AirBnB, and with my appetite kicking in I got some dumplings from an Asian spot and crashed!I thought of a few reasons why I didn't hit my goal: the warm beginning to the race when most of my training has been in cooler temps; the hills on the course, especially since the last few miles are uphill; and lack of strengh training throughout the full training cycle to build stronger quads. Reading through my race report I'm wondering if the hot start to the race was really the prime factor, or if that's more of an easy excuse.
Anyway I'm wondering if I should repeat this plan for a fall marathon or if maybe cutting back the running days and adding a dedicated strength day would be better?
Thanks for all the great advice on this sub! Did anyone else run this one?

2024.05.13 23:14 AuthorJoJo Was I always sleeping with a monster?
Bed had always been a haven for me, as Iâm sure it has been for many others. A soft rectangle of comfort that I can always rely on. It didnât matter how hard my day was or how harsh the weather outside those four edges, it always soothed me. Iâd argue the harsher days made it feel more inviting.
All my worries and stress bleeding out of me, soaking into the bedsheets.
Thatâs all anyone needs, somewhere to rest their head. And usually, if you can be lucky enough, you might find someone to share that space with. And I was lucky enough. As wonderful as laying in bed is, when my wife would crawl in and pull up close to me, it was another ball game.
Her heat would mesh with mine, skin would run flush together, and we would become symbiotic until the sunrise. Thatâs all I needed, all I wanted.
I normally crawl into bed before she gets home. Her job would have her working different hours each day while my schedule was steady. So, Iâd enjoy my alone time, get comfortable in bed, and eagerly await her arrival.
So thatâs how it went. It was a frosty night but not cold enough to run the heater, so I just had the blankets pulled up to my chest. Work was rough, so sleep started working its magic on me quickly and I could feel my body becoming heavier in bed. I was in and out, so time wasnât really something I had a concept of, so when I felt a pressure on the bed, it made sense that it was my wife.
Her fingers were icy as they slipped under the shirt I was wearing and rested on my chest. Her frame latched onto mine like a puzzle, and she wrapped her arms around me.
She was so cold, uncomfortably so.
It caused my teeth to clatter together for a moment as she siphoned my body heat until we had reached an equilibrium. Her fingers gently pressed into my skin, a tender pressure I had felt time and time again, one that always lulled me to sleep. And I could feel it then, slumber ready for its final approach.
So, it was there, seconds from reaching my dreams, that I heard the front door closing. It felt like someone had ripped the bed sheets off me, thin and piercing needles of cold, running shivers all over me. It was loud, the door closing, I mean.
I was frozen, I could feel the fingers on my chest tighten in response to the noise as well. It was taking me a while to process what was happening. But I figured she had forgotten to lock the front door, and someone had slipped inside, perhaps closing the door harder than they intended to in their rush.
âStay here.â I whispered harshly; words filled with the panic response I was trying to fight off.
Quickly shunting the hand away from my chest, I got out of bed and gripped the baseball bat we keep by the bed. An object I had hoped Iâd never have to pick up in a situation like this. Stepping cautiously towards the bedroom door, I could see that someone had turned a light on.
The kitchen light spilled out, meekly illuminating a few spots of the apartment. My fingers gently pried the bedroom door wider open, trying to avoid its usual squeaking.
The baseball bat rested on my shoulder as I tried to recall the last time, I had even swung a bat, suddenly all too paranoid that I might not do so effectively. There was the sound of rummaging from the kitchen, a small clattering of pots and pans.
With a few quick breaths to hype myself up, I quickly rounded the corner and prepared to swing my bat.
Stepping out, basking in the kitchenâs light, I heard a high pitch scream wail out, filling the house with the cry.
I sank.
Every bit of me felt like I was falling through the floor. My heart was at my feet and my head had sunk so low that my thoughts couldnât keep up. She was frightened too. I must have looked insane. She was speaking. I could hazard a guess at what she was saying. An apology for making too much noise on her way in, likely. I couldnât hear any of it, though. My head was static.
I could hardly even recognize her as my wife. No, she was a concept, an idea. She stood in all her glory as a stark realization.
My wifeâs eyes became delicate with concern. As she reached out to me, I backed away, not in fear of her, but the dawning of it all put me on guard. I could still feel the fingers I felt in bed pressing on my chest as I turned around, fingers gripping the bat tighter than ever.
I was quick. Quicker than I thought, I could move in a situation like that. We shouldâve left. We shouldâve called the police. However, many âshould havesâ in life remain unclaimed forever. I left all my âshould havesâ behind. Each rational thought vanishing with every step I took that brought me closer to the sanctity of my bed once represented.
It was still wide open from when I had left it before. I said nothing to my wife. The words in my throat were ice cubes refusing to budge. Didnât even know if she was following me. Focusing and narrowing in on my goal was all I could do to stop myself from toppling over. From balling up on the floor in hysterics.
Returning to the room and edging through the doorway, I had expected to see the bed empty. I had so desperately wanted to laugh it off. To rationalize that my dreams and reality had meshed while drifting off and that nothing, absolutely nothing, was amiss. At the very worst, I could claim that I was losing my mind.
Just enough moonlight.
I cursed that.
That there was enough moonlight basking my room. I wish something had swallowed up the moon, plunging the world into darkness. But there was just enough to see it.
To see the bed sheets being wrinkled by the hand that had been on my chest. Just enough moonlight to bounce off her eyes, peering up at me, small pricks of silver light. Her frame was bathed in the gentle glow of moonlight, her skin taking on a pale and milky blue hue, with splotches of black reminiscent of resting ash.
That thing in my bed. The moonlight allowed me to see it. I watched as it dragged its ragged fingers back and forth on the sheets, like it was beckoning me to crawl back into bed. Its other hand held her ghoulish head up. It was, I donât know, posing or something. Like it was trying to be seductive.
She was a monster, and worse, a monster that had invaded that one place I could rely on.
Fear consumed me. I wasnât me. It wasnât my thoughts rummaging around in my head; it was the thoughts of a man who just wanted to live.
Iâm not sure if she had even made a noise when the end of my bat met with her soft temple. It turned out I knew damn well how to swing that thing. It was almost pretty, how the red inside of her meshed with the cold color pallet the room was adorning. There was almost no resistance. None that I could feel in the moment.
My fingernails carved into my palm as I brought the bat down over and over. Watching her face warp and twist with each hit, the blue hues being overtaken by smatterings of crimson. Her body jerked with each hit, pulses of life reaching out before quickly vanishing.
I shouldâve taken a second.
I shouldâve assessed the situation.
My wife, the cops, everyone I talk to tells me that what I did was natural. A fight-or-flight response gone completely haywire. But now that itâs over. Every time I lay my head down on the pillow, I can hear that horrid thud.
An axe splitting the bark of a tree.
A wet towel smacking the linoleum.
It pulses in my head, poisoning my sanctuary. I donât know how many times I hit her. There was nothing resembling a face by the time I was done. It wasnât the first time she had broken into someoneâs house, but itâd certainly be the last.
The red paste and blue skin waltzed so lovingly with the red and blue lights of the officers that arrived on the scene. My wife must have called.
The elderly woman had escaped the nursing home her kids left her in a few nights before and had been on the street since. The frost of a winter night stealing the plush from her skin. Her already frail frame was further weakened by the lack of food. Dementia had riddled her mind. She didnât know where she was half the time.
Bed, those four sides. Itâs supposed to be a sanctuary. Somewhere you can go to escape all the monsters waiting to gobble you up outside. Not for me though, not anymore. Every night, when I peer into the darkness long enough, I could still see the silver beads peering back at me. Two small orbs of pin-prick light, reminding me.
No matter what I do.
Where I go.
What bed I call mine.
I now sleep, with a monster.

2024.05.13 23:14 CaterpillarRude7401 Advice for teacher hoping to take in a student
I am the teacher of a student who has been through a lot in life, what sounds like a history of trauma and neglect. Student has been living with another staff member at our school the past year, but the staff member will not continue watching student over summer. It sounds like student will go back to student's parents at the end of the school year and be checked on by children and youth, who will likely immediately remove the student and put student in foster care. (The staff member who is currently watching student isn't in foster care, I believe she is a temporary guardian or something.)
My heart breaks thinking of this student going to a random foster care facility/home and moving away from our school district, where student has had great stability and progress at last. I'm having serious conversations with my husband on whether we could help student in some way and take care of them for the summer or possibly longer. We are definitely capable of providing at this point in our lives. It sounds like even if student goes to foster care though and I happened to be a foster care provider (which would be difficult to get together so quickly I'm sure anyway), there's no guarantee student would be placed with me. I don't totally understand this all so I'm just repeating what I've heard.
I do not understand the children and youth system/foster care system, but I have a good relationship with this student and am wondering if there is some way for me to help. I have read about kinship placements but I'm not sure if that could even apply to this situation or how any of this works... just hoping for some insight on if there is any way we could take student in when the inevitable happens of student being removed from home and put in foster care at the end of this school year?
TIA, and apologies for anything I totally misunderstand.

2024.05.13 23:13 No-Breakfast5667 Variations disappear in PLAY +
Is anybody having issues with the PLAY + where it randomly deletes variations as you copy and paste patterns to chain together in Sequencing Mode? I would like to hear anyone who has experienced this. I have found other bugs as well but want to keep this conversation on topic. I can't be the only one.

2024.05.13 23:13 Tacitus2389b4h5ii405 Raid Mechanics Spotlight 3
 | Raid Mechanics Spotlight 3:Defensive Debuffs\*Please note that the strategies covered here are not original to the author. Often, these strategies are collaborative works which have been developed by communities over time***Overview:Defensive debuffs can be used to increase damage to a raid boss significantly. Combining these with other support methods and offensive buffs can end raids in as little as one or two turns. Specific debuffs can be used to reduce Defense or Special Defense through the raid bossâs shield as well, something particularly useful in event raids.Details:Defensive debuffs work by changing the stat stages of a PokĂ©mon, which changes the damage multiplier used during damage calculations. For a more thorough break down of stat stages, see the Raid Mechanics Spotlight 1. The table of damage multipliers has been included below.Stat Stage Multiplier Table Defensive debuffs put negative stat stages on a target. This multiplier then reduces the associated defense accordingly. So, for example, a raid boss who has negative four stat stages on their Defense will have their Defense multiplied by one third during damage calculations. Defensive debuffs can be divided into two categories: Physical Defense debuffs and Special Defense debuffs. Those can be further subdivided into status moves and damaging moves. Status moves cannot be used through shield and can be disabled by Taunt. Damaging moves can be used through shield and cannot be disabled by Taunt, but are very limited in which PokĂ©mon have them. Physical Defensive Status debuff moves are: Screech, Leer, Tail Whip, Tickle, and Spicy Extract. Leer and Tail Whip aren't used as often as other moves on this list because they only lower Defense by one stat stage. Tickle also lowers Defense by one stat stage but it lowers Attack by one stat stage at the same time which can be particularly useful against bosses which buff themselves before the raid begins. Screech is by far the most commonly used Physical Defensive Status debuff as it is available on a wide variety of PokĂ©mon and it lowers Defense by two stat stages. The major drawback of Screech is its Accuracy which is only 85%; however, there are a number of ways to mitigate this. One way is with held items. Wide Lens can be used to increase Accuracy by 10%, which will make Screechâs Accuracy about 93%. This improvement isn't perfect, but many raiders find it sufficient for every day raids because often, if Screech does miss, they can simply use Screech again the next turn without fear of being knocked out or running out of time in their strategy. For event raids and farming raids for resources though, 93% isn't the best option. That's where Zoom Lens comes in. Zoom Lens increases accuracy by 20% as long as the user is slower than the target. This leads many raiders to make Screech supports with 0 Speed IVs and Relaxed or Sassy natures to get their Speed as low as possible. Popular Zoom Lens Screechers include Umbreon, Perrserker, both forms of Muk, Corviknight, Bastiodon, and Snorlax. Items aren't the only way to increase Accuracy. Moves such as Gravity, Defog, and Sweet Scent can reduce raid boss Evasion, which is the same as boosting Accuracy. Additionally, Dipplin and Hydrapple have the ability Supersweet Syrup which lowers the Evasion of opposing PokĂ©mon by one stage. There's also an ability called Compound Eyes which increases accuracy by 30%. Venonat is often used as a Screecher because it has Compound Eyes and has good bulk when it holds Eviolite, which increases both of its defenses by 50%. Yanma, Joltik, and Galvantula also have Compound Eyes and the move Screech, but aren't used as often for various reasons including lack of access to a Special Defense debuff move. Spicy Extract is a very special debuff move because it is also a buff move. It lowers Defense by two stages and increases Attack by two stages. This can be a valuable tool but it can be dangerous as well. It shouldn't be used against a raid boss with a physical attack. If Spicy Extract is used on the raid boss, a raider can copy the Attack boost using the held item Mirror Herb. Using Simple Beam on the raid boss before Spicy Extract doubles both the debuff and buff and can be used to end raids as quickly as one turn if used correctly. For more information on Simple Beam and an example strategy using Simple Beam, Spicy Extract, and Mirror Herb, see the Raid Mechanics Spotlight 1. Spicy Extract is only available to Scovillain currently. Physical Defensive Damaging debuff moves are: Fire Lash, Grav Apple, and Thunderous Kick. In Scarlet and Violet, each of these moves is only available on one PokĂ©mon naturally (though Smeargle can learn them using Sketch) which greatly limits their use. Fire Lash is learned by Salazzle. Grav Apple is learned by Flapple. Neither of these is particularly bulky and isn't the best support for long raids, making them not particularly popular. Thunderous Kick is learned by Galarian Zapdos which, while reasonably bulky, doesn't possess a great deal of other support moves and isn't the most widely available PokĂ©mon, only being available in Sword and Shield DLC or PokĂ©mon GO. It should also be noted that all three of these moves only drop Defense by one stage, which is fairly slow compared to the Special Defense options in the damaging category. While the above moves guarantee a Defense stat stage decrease, there are also a number of moves which have a chance to lower Defense. These can be useful in a pinch and as a backup moves, but aren't reliable enough to plan strategies around. These moves are Crunch, Crush Claw, Iron Tail, Liquidation, Razor Shell, Rock Smash, and Triple Arrows. Some of these moves have a drop chance as high as 50%, while others are significantly lower. Theoretically, Serene Grace could be Skill Swapped onto a PokĂ©mon with access to one of the moves with a 50% drop chance, but in practice this is slow and not usually worth it or required. Special Defense Status debuff moves are: Fake Tears and Metal Sound. Metal Sound has the same Accuracy as Screech. This makes Fake Tears far more common to use as it is 100% accurate. This allows Fake Tears users to hold an item like Covert Cloak to avoid secondary effects instead of holding a Wide or Zoom Lens without the need to increase accuracy through other methods. Special Defense Damaging debuff moves are: Acid Spray, Apple Acid, and Lumina Crash. Acid Spray is the move common mainly due to the fact that it has the most possible users. It lowers Special Defense by two stages, which is extremely useful when compared to similar options on the Physical Defensive Damaging debuff side. Many, though by no means all, Acid Spray users have a Poison typing which can limit usage in raids where the boss has moves which are super effective against Poison Types. It should also be noted that Acid Spray will not work on Steel Tera bosses. Notable Acid Spray users are Venonat, Hisuian Qwilfish, both forms of Muk, Arbok, and Goodra. Apple Acid and Lumina Crash are both limited to one PokĂ©mon each currently (Smeargle notwithstanding). Apple Acid drops Special Defense by one stat stage and is only available to Appletun. What makes this move particularly useful is Appletunâs bulk and access to Giga Drain, which makes it an excellent solo raider. Lumina Crash, like Acid Spray, drops Special Defense by two stages and is available to Espathra. Unlike Acid Spray, Lumina Crash can be used against Steel Tera, but it cannot be Like the Physical Defensive Damaging debuffs category, the Special Defense Damaging debuffs category has moves which have a chance to drop Special Defense but aren't guaranteed and thus aren't recommended for planning strategies. These moves are: Acid, Bug Buzz, Earth Power, Energy Ball, Flash Cannon, Focus Blast, Luster Purge, Psychic, Seed Flare, and Shadow Ball. While debuffs in these categories can be extremely useful, there are a few things which can render them useless. One thing is certain abilities. If the attacker in your raid has the ability Unaware, it will ignore all stat changes to either defense, including your debuffs. Additionally, PokĂ©mon with the ability Clear Body cannot be debuffed. The ability Contrary will reverse debuffs, making them buffs instead. Similarly, when a PokĂ©mon with Defiant or Competitive is debuffed, their Attack or Special Attack, respectively, will increase by two stages. These abilities can be changed or neutralized using a move like Gastro Acid in order to make use of debuffs. For damaging moves to debuff, they must be able to hit their target. This means that Acid Spray will not work on Steel targets, Lumina Crash will not work on Dark targets, Apple Acid will not work on targets with the Sap Sipper ability, Fire Lash will not work on targets with the Flash Fire ability, and Thunderous Kick will not work on Ghost targets. Though raid bosses do not normally get items, theoretically if one were to hold a Clear Amulet they couldn't be debuffed until the item was knocked off using Knock Off. Raid bosses are also able to clear their stats and negative effects, which means that their negative stat stages will return to zero (though this will not affect their positive stat changes). The moves Clear Smog and Haze will remove all stat changes, both positive and negative. Clear Smog affects one target while Haze affects every PokĂ©mon active on the field. The move Mist prevents all debuffs on the user. Mist can be cleared using Defog or bypassed using a PokĂ©mon with the Infiltrator ability. For those looking for a solid team of debuffers to start their raid team, this author recommends the following builds for Umbreon, Perrserker, and Muk. These builds and PokĂ©mon give you a variety of options to overcome obstacles. Together, they are strong against a number of types with one often covering the weaknesses of the others. Additional, these PokĂ©mon are all slow, allowing for them to be used as Zoom Lens Screechers. They all also possess both physical and special defensive debuffs, with one of them even possessing a Special Defense Damaging debuff. While they will not cover every single situation, they will cover a great number of situations and allow for new raiders to find a place in most raids. Note that the above builds are designed as Balanced Builds, which may not suit every situation but are designed to take the least amount of damage from both physical and special attacks. The given IVs are ideal IVs, but are by no means required for most situations. The Speed IVs tend to be more important due to the requirements of Zoom Lens, but plenty of raids will not require 0 Speed IVs. Examples:Here are some examples of specific strategies where debuffs can be used:Basic Example:Defensive Debuffs Basic ExampleThis is a two turn example strategy using Screech against a Bug Tera Goodra. Bug Tera was chosen to showcase this strategy against a type which takes super effective damage against Fire type moves, which we are using for the Attacker. This example strategy begins, like many others, with buffs and debuffs changing stat stages. All of these actions happen at approximately the same time. Charizard uses Belly Drum to increase its Attack to the maximum six stages. Belly Drum also takes half of Charizard's HP, but a portion is restored using the Sitrus Berry. Mew uses Helping Hand to boost Charizard's next damaging move by 50%. Because this effect isn't used until Charizard uses a damaging move, it doesn't matter if Charizard uses Belly Drum before or after Mew uses Helping Hand. Both Umbreons use Screech twice. Since the maximum amount a stat can be lowered is six stages, one of these Screeches is technically not needed, but for the sake of simplicity and ease of execution, the action has been included for both Umbreons. This way, both Umbreons do the same thing in both turns, rather than trying to do different things and possibly causing confusion among the players. These Screeches are all 100% accurate because Umbreon is holding a Zoom Lens and is naturally slower than Goodra as long as Umbreon has 0 Speed IVs and a Sassy nature. To add a final extra boost, Mew uses an Attack Cheer to further boost damage from the team by 50%. This stacks with the boost from Helping Hand as well. Charizard then uses Temper Flare to achieve a One Hit Knock Out (OHKO) on Goodra. This strategy can be found in the TRB here The following are more advanced strategies that make use of Raid Mechanics which may be covered in future Spotlights:Simple Spice:https://preview.redd.it/p0yhhpe3e90d1.png?width=3600&format=png&auto=webp&s=02d2c0975504bec84b22b44cee1eb2cc306fb4daThis is a single turn example strategy using Simple Beam and Spicy Extract against a Psychic Tera Frosmoth. Psychic Tera was chosen to showcase this strategy against a type which takes super effective damage against Dark type moves, which we are using for the Attacker. Spicy Extract, combined with Simple Beam, gives the Frosmoth raid boss 4 stages of Attack and minus 4 stages of Defense. Because Frosmoth has no physical attacks to make use of the 4 stages of Attack, this is fairly safe, but with other bosses, such as the Goodra above, this strategy would be much more dangerous. The fact that Frosmoth is a special attacker is also why Spoink was chosen over a similar Simple Beam Support like Golduck since it has particularly high Special Defense. The Kingambit attacker copies the positive stat changes from Spicy Extract using the Mirror Herb that it holds, giving Kingambit 4 stages of Attack as well. When it does this, the Mirror Herb is used up. Florges then gives Kingambit the Choice Band using its Symbiosis ability. Florges further supports Kingambit by using Attack Cheer, though Helping Hand could be used instead. All of this gives Kingambit the strength it needs to achieve a one turn OHKO. This strategy can be found in the TRB here Acid Spray and Fake Tears:Defensive Debuffs Acid Spray and Fake Tears ExampleThis is a three turn example strategy using Acid Spray and Fake Tears against a Grass Tera Vaporeon. Grass Tera was chosen to showcase this strategy against a type which takes not very effective damage to Electric type damage in order to showcase a high level of damage without the fear of overflow. Note that while this strategy is a three turn example, some may refer to it as a 2.25 turn example. The .25 indicates that only a single PokĂ©mon moves on the third turn. As the raid begins, Hadron Engine summons Electric Terrain before anything else can happen. The Electric Terrain will prevent Vaporeon from putting any of the raiders to sleep with Yawn and increase the power of Electric type moves by 30%. Additionally, the terrain activates Hadron Engine, which increases Miraidonâs Special Attack, and Quark Drive on Iron Moth. Iron Mothâs build has been designed specifically to ensure Quark Drive increases its Special Defense by 30% rather than its naturally high Special Attack. This is in contrast to the other builds which focus on overall damage mitigation, what is often referred to as Balanced or Optimal builds. An Iron Moth Balanced build would have 252 EVs in Defense and an Impish nature, rather than the 252 Special Defense EVs and Careful nature this Iron Moth has. Thanks to the extra Special Defense EVs, its Assault Vest held item, and the Special Defense boost from Quark Drive, Iron Moth is able to survive up to three critical hits from this Vaporeon, despite being weak to its Surf attack. Note that if the Tera type for Vaporeon was changed, Iron Moth and the other raiders might not survive as well due to the inclusion of Tera Blast in Vaporeonâs moves. This strategy would also be completely useless against a Ground Tera Vaporeon since Electric type attacks cannot hit Ground types. The order of moves in the first turn doesn't matter, though this is not the case for turn two. Tinkatuff, aided in its survival by Eviolite, uses Fake Tears to lower Vaporeon's Special Defense by two stages. Iron Moth similarly uses Acid Spray to lower Vaporeon's Special Defense by two stages. Florges uses Helping Hand, which will persist on Miraidon until Miraidon uses a damaging move. This means that despite Miraidon using status moves in this strategy, the Helping Hand boost will not be used until it attacks. On the first turn, Miraidon uses Calm Mind to increase its Special Attack and Special Defense by one stage each. On the second turn, move order is more important. Tinkatuff must move after Miraidon to avoid having Miraidon trapped using Charge by Choice Specs. So Miraidon, Iron Moth, and Flores move before Tinkatuff. Miraidon uses Charge, which increases its Special Defense by one stage and doubles the power of the next damaging Electric type move it uses. Iron Moth uses Acid Spray to lower Vaporeon's Special Defense another two stages for a total of six stages, which is the maximum it can be lowered. Florges uses an Attack Cheer to further boost damage done by its team. Then, Tinkatuff uses Fairy Wind on Miraidon. Since Fairy Wind is super effective on Miraidon, this activates Miraidon's Weakness Policy, the which increases Miraidon's Attack and Special Attack by two stages each. This puts Miraidon at a total of three stages of Special Attack. Once the Weakness Policy is used up, Florges passes its Choice Specs to Miraidon using its Symbiosis ability. Note that Symbiosis passes the held item of the PokĂ©mon with that ability to which PokĂ©mon uses an item first. To avoid having the Choice Specs passed to the wrong PokĂ©mon, Miraidon is the only PokĂ©mon in this strategy with a consumable item. With the boosts from Calm Mind and Weakness Policy, the boost from Choice Specs, the debuffs from Fake Tears and Acid Spray, the boost from Helping Hand, the boost from Attack Cheer, and the boosts from Electric Terrain and Hadron Engine, Miraidon is able to knock out Vaporeon using one Electro Drift despite Vaporeon's Tera type resisting Electric damage. This strategy can be found in the TRB here Summary:Defensive debuffs are at the heart of most raids strategies and provide a way to deal massive damage to raid bosses with each hit. Most debuffs are status moves, but some are damaging moves which can be useful in cases where a raid boss summons a shield.https://preview.redd.it/lb67kduxe90d1.jpg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88a493de12acf00c12e33a96dc32fea981931154 |

2024.05.13 23:09 Guyserbun007 What kind of Excel Cell Border is this? How do I remove it?
I have data in Excel from 2020 to 2023, which has a border around.
https://preview.redd.it/3dficmhkd90d1.png?width=402&format=png&auto=webp&s=722d3d59c65b03d5ca045f01a5e4ebb3c74aaf87
What I want to do is to extend to the 2024 year. I have two questions:
1) This doesn't seem to be the "normal" border I have used before, as when I copy the 2023 column and past it to the column to its right, only some of the border was copied over. How can I determine the type of border it has right now?
2) This is a related question. I tried to "Erase Border" with the border eraser icon, but this original border is not being deleted like the "normal" border I have dealt with before.
Any advice?

2024.05.13 23:09 ApartSupermarket1817 I need to know how to safely express who I am (38M)
Iâve gone through most of my life being attracted to women. Iâm attracted to a huge variety of women, regardless of body shape, heritage, age, and so on. Ever since early puberty, though, Iâve always had a little spark of attraction to men. This attraction was always much more specific, related to body types and such. It was never as strong as my attraction to women, but as Iâve gotten older Iâve learned that I pretty reliably ride the âbi-cycle,â and that depending on the time of month, I may be more into women than men, more into men than women, and back and forth like that.
Through all of this, Iâve also discovered that I have a very strong attraction to crossdressing. I really enjoy putting in the time and effort to be the most attractive I can be as a woman, and be able to present as female. I wouldnât go so far as to say Iâm ânon-binary,â because this desire doesnât manifest itself very often, but when it does, itâs very strong. Itâs practically all I can think about. I call it âthe pink werewolfâ coming out. And when this comes, I have this intense desire to be seen and appreciated as an attractive, female-presenting person, and especially to be an object of sexual desire.
Iâm engaged to a lovely and kind-hearted woman who is aware of all this - to a certain extent. She knows Iâve had this history of sexual experimentation, and sheâs been very accepting of that. I havenât expressed ANY of these non-heteronormative behaviors in our relationship, though, and Iâll explain why:
We have a tough enough time initiating sex right now. And weâre facing a lot of stress as we try to finalize our wedding plans. Weâve had a lot of arguments lately that have left me feeling drained, and in response to this Iâm looking for outlets where I feel seen, appreciated, and desired. I would never step outside of our relationship, because I truly love this woman. The way she looks at me, the way she takes care of me, the way we make each other laugh, and the safety and care I can provide to her⊠thatâs something you only find once in a lifetime.
I just donât know what to do. Do I just wait, tie the knot, provide what I can to make things better for us, and then talk about how to ease this stuff into our sex life when we have more emotional bandwidth? Do I seek out âalternativeâ outlets like online roleplay, video chat, OnlyFans, and so on, just to âscratch the itchâ without burdening my girl with more to process? Or is this a sign of something deeper that I should make more of a priority for myself somehow? Am I risking my relationship by even âgoing there?â I just donât know how to be all of myself without somehow causing harm, and that makes me very sad.

I havenât expressed ANY of these non-heteronormative behaviors in our relationship, though, and Iâll explain why:
- My fiancĂ©e has been through a lot. She lost her father last year, and has been on a weight loss journey that has been tough to maintain. She struggles with ADHD and anxiety, and her job regularly drains her. This has led to her cocooning up into just doomscrolling on her phone at the end of the day, with no real interest in engaging with anyone. I do what I can to support her, but sometimes Iâm just at a loss.
- We havenât had sex in a long time. I proposed to her at the start of the year, but we havenât made love except maybe once since then, and that was months ago. She has a lot of anxiety about sex now, whereas she didnât before, when we were first dating. Her last boyfriend used sex as a way to guilt trip her and control the relationship, and sheâs having a hard time unlearning that. She also cites having a lot of fear of being unattractive, and of not being able to reach climax because she canât get into the right headspace for it. I always tell her sheâs lovely and pretty and sexy, and she knows anytime she wants to âget some,â Iâm right here for her. But itâs been getting harder and harder to initiate with her because Iâm just not motivated anymore. I love her, and want to connect with her, but Iâm a little weary of how disconnected we are on this front, and I donât even know where to start with her anymore. Nothing âcomes naturally,â at least not lately. She has a vibrator and is able to use that pretty freely, which actually makes me a little jealous. I guess my thinking is, âIf itâs so easy for her to get off without me around, what about me makes it difficult?â Iâm not sure thatâs the right way to think about it, though. I mean, I can jerk off all the time, whatâs the difference there?
- Sheâs expressed fear about ânot being enoughâ for me. When I first explained to her how I tried out all sorts of sexual flavors in my past, she made it clear that she wanted to know if she would be enough for me. I said that the point of being in a relationship is so that youâre into it for the person, not the acts. That there are many healthy and creative ways for couples to act on their interests. I would never want her fears there to be realized. That would be terrible for her. Thatâs the last thing I want to do.
We have a tough enough time initiating sex right now. And weâre facing a lot of stress as we try to finalize our wedding plans.

2024.05.13 23:04 Satnugeyrloopesy Help choosing language for small program
Im doing a small program to calculate First time response in a ticket system database ( mysql ).
I need this program to be easily portable because its for someone who doesn't understand much about computers, thats why i want something that you can copy/paste and keeps on working in another pc. Obviously over the Internet. This server is not local
Which language is best suited for this task ? Is this even posible ?
I was thinking in python or java but maybe there is something better.

2024.05.13 23:02 fxmercenary Spider-Man 4K Trilogy / Amazing Spider-Man 1&2 4K / The Avengers 4K
Hello! I recently bought a sealed copy of the 12 Disc set of the 4K Steelbook combo for all of the Spider-Man Movies, and I already owned this in the past and had redeemed the codes, so I just opened this up, and the codes are still good, I just already own the Digital copies. I also just picked up The Avengers 4K Steelbook from Wal-Mart, and it too comes with a digital copy that I already own as well. So I am looking to possibly do a trade? Spider-Man 1,2 and 3, The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, and the Avengers, all 4K Digital copies! I would not mind Dune 1 & 2, or the Ocean's Trilogy. Let me know if you have anything like this up for trade, currently at just over 600 Digital movies!
