Hello Reddit,
I'm in a lucky position where I'm replacing my front door... and pretty much everything else - the house is down to the studs right now.
I live in San Francisco, and I would like to install a quality front door. I've been blessed to live in Europe with quality (sometimes antique) doors and locks (multi-points). I would like the same feel of the heavy door with a lock with tight tolerance.
Also, I wouldn't mine a little bit of automation in the background using Unifi Access (*), and an electric strike or something. Doorbell/camera/lock/closed sensors/timers -- But -- I just can't stand the cheapo battery-backed deadbolt or whatever.
I do not mind paying for the service of a qualified Locksmith to guide me through the process, but my general contractor is coming a little bit short of advising me where to go on that (I don't blame them). So...:

1. How do I find a locksmith in San Francisco that would install what seems like more of a commercial lock, or high-end residential systems? Google/Yelp is depressing, frankly.
   
2. Is there a known locket combo that you would recommend that would have the required specs? (fail-secure, but store-room type so using the lever from the inside unlocks it) that would work with a electric strike? I like the ASSA-ABLOY (and sub brands) stuff. I prefer having a manual key for unlocking just in case, but I could be convinced to go with a solid "metal hand bar" to get in from the outside, if the system is otherwise reliable - I have other way to get in the buildings.
   

Thanks!
(*) it's not quite clear that Unifi Access is really oriented toward pro-sumer, it seems maybe more for SME... But again, I care about the hardware more than the electronic. I would like quality install of the hardware, and after that the wiring and automations, that would be my job (fun project).

I’m bored asf so I’m gonna put together my last 2 brain cells and try and make a better recruit rework than Ubisoft, the small indie company, did
So recruit is a recruit, and he is trying to learn how to be the best and gain satisfaction from the other ops, so clearly he’s gonna learn things from them. Basically his gadget is copying one op on his side (that there team picked, so can’t copy brava if no one on his team picked brava) and he’s gonna gain that ability (however considerably weaker bc it’s not his, he’s js trying to do his best) now some of these ideas could be op, and some might be weak, but it depends on your standing. ALSO I AM NOT THE BEST AT THE GAME, SO IF ANY OF THESE CHANGES DONT MAKE SENSE THATS WHY. Anyway hope yall enjoy
Attack:
Recruit - can pick to be 1 speed/3 health, 2 speed/2 health, or 3 speed/1 health (I’ve heard that’s what he could do when the game first came out, but idk bc I didn’t play back then) he can pick what he has now (lmg, L85A2, marksman rifle) and what he will have (M4 and the other one) AND a shield. All are fully customizable. secondary’s are whatever he has now + what he will have, again all customizable. For the secondary gadget he can pick any secondary gadget on attack but only that gadget, so no impact/breach or frag/stun
Sledge - he copies his sledge hammer into a hammer, so it only has 5 uses (bc realistically sledge isn’t using 25 sledgehammers in a round) and it has a smaller AOE
Thatcher - so either it’s a impact emp with the range of thatch or it’s thatchers emp with the range of an impact
Ash - 1 ash charge, but it’s more of a sticky grenade that takes a bit longer to blow up and needs to be thrown
Thermite - 1 exothermic charge that takes longer to blow up and has a smaller explosive range
Twitch - 1 regular drone turns into a shock drone, and has 3 shots and can’t jump. After that it’s a regular drone
Monty - NEEDS SHIELD, and if recruit has a shield he can’t run (bc Monty’s shield is heavy) BUT can extend like Monty’s, only a bit weaker (so quicker to shield stun? him) and only protects the front and not the sides
Glaz - recruit gets a thermal lens, which can be applied to a drone OR to the phone. If it’s a drone, it’s like glaz, where the more you move, the weaker the thermal gets. If it’s the phone, you can walk around with your phone in your face and can get VERY faint thermal readings. Basically it means your pulse but weaker, and you need to use your eyes to distinguish if it’s natural or an enemy
Fuze - 1 Fuze charge that can’t drill through a reinforced wall hatch, but it does a reinforced penetration (it takes longer to blow) and has three (or 2) explosive hockey pucks
Blitz - NEEDS SHIELD, and after he picks a shield he can run but a bit slower, and can use 2 flashes, but a bit weaker (shorter stun time and shorter range)
IQ - turns phone into iq scanner (can switch between iq and drone) has to stand still and has a max timer of 20 seconds. After that, phone goes back to normal
Blackbeard - tbh, idk for this one, bc BB Is already hella weak, AND he’s getting a “remaster” this year, so yea. Besides, BB is RARELY picked so if anything, recruit gets body armor, so +10 health or sum
Buck - adds an under barrel shotgun to whichever gun is equipped, and only has 6 shots, which after jams and breaks
Capito - makes makeshift crossy, which needs to be shot standing still and pulling the bow back. Can chose one smoke arrow or one fire arrow
Hibanna - gets 6 hibannas and has to throw each one individually (like womai)
Jackal - scans 1 pair of feet, but doesn’t know if they’re old or new, and last for 1 ping (so like 5 sec or something)
Ying - 1 candela, which can be thrown with no timer, stun last shorter and recruit is affected by candela stun
Zofia - same with capito but maybe a little ball that stuns or explodes idk
Dokabi - 1 hack, either call or hack cams. If call, short call time and short hang up time. If cams, only default cams can be used for a minute (or something) and can’t see other cams (so needs to hack echos phone to see yokais or if doc put a bp down, hack doc’s phone, etc) tbh that cam part might be a good dok nerf
Lion - short ping if moved, and longer time to stop moving, only 1
Finka - 1 boost and can’t heal status effects, and can’t help downed teammates, but can still heal for 20(?)
Maverick - 1 charge of a flamethrower, burns fuel fast, and longer time to blowtorch a hole into a reinforced wall or sum
Nomad - smaller AOE, and only 1 of them, and has to throw them
Gridlock - 1 can of smaller track stinger, so more movement through them and less damage, and less of them
Nook - can be used for 10 sec, and can be glitchy even when not running
Amaru - 1 grapple, shorter range, so can only be used on hatches or balconies (like in Oregon) or it could be used for a faster repel time
Kali - gets an under barrel lance that has 2, and needs to be within 15(?) meters for it to work, or else it falls bc it’s heavy. Also takes a bit to reload
Iana - drone becomes clone of recruit. Moves drone around, and defenders HAVE to shoot the drone to destroy clone, and that drone is gone. It’ll be pretty obvious that it’s a clone too btw
Ace - same thing with thermite, but it needs to be manually started
Zero - drone becomes 1 cam, can’t penetrate reinforced walls or hatches, but can pierce soft walls etc. and 3 shots and then a regular camera
Flores - 1 drone becomes rcxd, can’t jump and has a 4 second countdown. Also isn’t bullet proof after countdown ends
Osa - 1 see-through shield, once placed can’t be picked up, and takes a mag to destroy (like Azami kinda)
Sens - 1 sens roll thing that has a short travel distance and last for 10 seconds
Grim - 1 canister of bees, always bounces and gets 2 pings
Brava - same thing, no jumping, 1 drone gets turned into said gadget, but can only hack 1 electronic gadget, and can’t be controlled (but brava CAN control it bc she lent him her code or sum)
Ram - so either 2 drones get turned into her gadget and only last 5 seconds, or he gets one (courtesy of ram) and keeps his drones, but it’s not bullet proof, gets broken by arunis and last 5 sec (has to be placed either way and can’t be thrown)
Deimos - 1 op can be tracked, recruit switches to his secondary, and either it’s like Deimos but last shorter, and if u go into a mute jammer or vigil it stops tracking even if you popped it when they weren’t, OR both the op being tracked AND recruit are live pinged, or both ops are delayed pinged
Hope yall like my ideas, and lmk if yall wanna see my defending ideas, bc I have more balanced(?) ideas for him over there

AEW Collision, Mar 1, 2025:
Kurt Angle's TNT Championship Open Challenge
[Kurt Angle decides that to celebrate his Title win, he will be giving one unlucky soul a chance to be battered, broken, and rendered unable to keep competing. Whoever accepts this challenge is in store for a career ending slaughter, where Doc Samson will force them to retire.
Kurt waits in intense arrogance before a series of tranquil chords hit in quick succession, a sinister appetizer for what's to come, the words KATSUYORI SHIBATA fill the screen, and The Wrestler himself stomps to the ring.
Shibata - Angle, face to face.
Commentary is keen to mention Shibata is one person who definitely wouldn't feel any fear in the face of a threat like that.
"Katsuyori Shibata, well this is better than I imagined it would be. Now I get to finish what God couldn't and retire you for good."
And with those words, a declaration of war has been written and signed.
Shibata is able to match Angle for grappling early, keeping Kurt guessing with a series of holds. He gets hold of Kurt's arm at one point and is able to do some fair damage with an armbar. Kurt gets frustrated with Shibata who smiles at Kurt after avoiding his umpteenth submission attempt.
Angle slaps Shibata across the face, Shibata's head goes down, his eyes go cold. He throws a boot that rocks Angle in the face, Kurt goes to the corner where Shibata meets him with repeated forearms to the mouth. Shibata runs to the opposite corner, Angle meets him there with a charging shoulder thrust to the ribs.
Angle to the opposite corner, Shibata meets him with a pump kick, Shibata to the opposite corner, Angle charges in for a rolling axe kick, Shibata moves, Angle hits the turnbuckles, Angle upside down in the corner, Shibata to the other side of the ring, Katsuyori takes a moment to compose himself, focusing his energy before charging in for a corner dropkick crushing Angle into the turnbuckles.
Shibata pulls Angle up and gets a stiff forearm, Angle returns but his dominant arm is weak from the early attack by Shibata. The two begin to trade forearms, Shibata always seeming to strike quite a bit harder.
Angle gets a flurry of right and left forearms backing Shibata up, Angle runs the ropes and Shibata gets a spin kick to the midsection before kicking at the back of Angle's knee. Shibata begins to target the not fully healed knee of Kurt now, locking figure fours and bow and arrow submissions.
Angle is reeling on the ropes after the onslaught, Shibata runs the ropes and looks for a big boot to send Angle out, Angle catches the leg, hooks around the neck and suplexes Shibata to the floor. Angle dives off the apron crushing Shibata at ringside before hitting a belly to belly suplex into the barricade.
Angle shoves Shibata back in and attempts a Moonsault, Katsuyori avoids and Angle backs into the corner where Shibata gets a big boot. He grabs Angle by the back of his neck, sprinting to the opposite side of the ring and connecting with another big boot once he plants Angle there.

Kurt climbs and lands a moonsault to the upper body and face of Shibata, crushing his skull against the canvas.
Shibata is able to answer the count, so Angle stalks a dazed Shibata. Angle Slam, Katsuyori on his feet, STO by Shibata. As Angle recovers from the STO, Shibata is able to get some breathing room from the series of throws he took. Both men get to their knees, head to head, eye to eye. They begin exchanging forearms once more, but this time Angle has a more even playing field due to the headache beginning to start for Shibata.
Angle begins mixing in uppercuts with his forearms, Shibata catches him on one of these with a backslide, Angle kicks out and Shibata greets him with a chop across the neck, spinning backfist, a trio of forearms. Angle stops reacting, and stares up at Shibata, he lets out a shout and Shibata goes for a fourth forearm. Angle ducks and pushes Shibata into the corner before dragging him out with a Rolling German Suplex planting Shibata on his head.
Shibata on his hands and knees, trying to catch his bearings and make sense of the fog in his vision. Kurt climbs and gets a picture perfect moonsault to the kneeling Shibata. Katsuyori barely gets the shoulder up, Angle stares in disbelief at the ref, leaving himself still pinned over Shibata.
Shibata latches onto the arm getting a Kimura applied on the wounded Angle. Angle writhes until he finally grasps the bottom rope to force separation. Shibata drags Angle into the center of the ring. He tees off on the shoulder blade with kicks, he slaps Angle in the back of the skull sending a cloud of perspiration flying.
Shibata calmly crosses his legs, sitting down across from the crawling Angle. Angle gets to his knees, the two begin chopping each other in the face. Shibata gets a knife edge chop to the ear of Angle, and Kurt gets enraged. He stands up and begins another forearm exchange with Shibata. Angle wins this time backing Shibata into the corner, repeated shoulder thrusts to the ribs follow, Shibata taking a seat.
Angle with a corner running dropkick of his own! Angle goes for it again, Shibata rises and looks for a pump kick, Angle catches him, hugs Shibata in and gets a fallaway belly to belly. Angle beckons Katsuyori up and runs the ropes, Shibata stops him with a leg lariat.
Angle crawls into the corner and Shibata starts repeatedly stepping on his head. Angle tries to crawl out of the ring, but gets paintbrushed with the boot of Shibata. He drowns Angle with scrapes of his boot, stomps and kicks. The referee eventually backs up Shibata.
Shibata brings Angle out of the corner with a snapmare takedown followed by a soccer kick to the spine. He runs the ropes for a penalty kick, which Kurt catches and turns into an Ankle Lock, with the leg trapped he pulls Shibata into a German Suplex.
Shibata on his hands and knees, Angle begins a waistlock and tries to bear hug Shibata on the canvas, Shibata crosses his legs in this position.

He maintains waist control and pulls Shibata up, Shibata begins elbowing Angle to force release. Angle grips the wrist to prevent Shibata from creating distance.
Shibata kicks him in his bad arm, and Angle lets go. He oblique kicks him in his knee before kicking away at the head of Angle. Angle desperately headbutts Shibata in the chest, igniting something in Katsuyori. Shibata turns around, takes a deep breath, turns to Angle and refuses to do what he desperately wants to, thinking of his health.
He forearms Angle down to the mat and gets an octopus hold applied, Angle scrambles to the ropes, fighting out. Penalty Kick by Shibata. Angle kicks out and Shibata locks a sleeper. A focused trance look on the face of Katsuyori as he strangles Angle.

Shibata with a spinning backfist, Angle catches the wrist, he grips the other wrist, backslide, Shibata rolls through, clothesline by Angle, ducked, Shibata ties him up in position. He spins Angle out, he readies his hand, he connects.

Kurt collapses and Shibata takes his time to catch his breath and focus up, all that focus goes into repeated, poised strikes to the shoulder, underarm and elbow of the damaged Angle. Angle grips onto the wrist to try and drag his way up, Shibata kicks his grip away. Shibata goes to run the ropes, but Angle grips onto the wrist again, avoids a clothesline attempt, traps both arms. Straight-Jacket Suplex on Shibata.
All of the weight coming down on his head and neck. Angle pulls up Shibata, German Suplex #1, Shibata begins elbowing Angle in the ear, German Suplex #2, Shibata still driving his elbow into the ear of Angle, Release German Suplex. Shibata lays motionless, blood begins trickling out of the ear of Angle, physical evidence of the desperation Shibata felt.
Angle brushes off the doctor's attempts to check on him, Kurt with an Angle Slam, but Shibata digging into the wound on the ear, Angle loses his balance, Shibata on his feet. Shibata hooks on from behind, trapping Angle's arm.
するか死ぬか
He spins Angle out, rainmaker style and closes the gap with a sickening headbutt to Kurt. Kurt collapses, but so does Shibata. He lays exhausted, head throbbing. Finally after over a minute, he musters the strength to crawl to the cover.
One, Two, Kurt kicks out. Kurt rises before Shibata who is kneeling, clutching his head. Angle pulls him up for a German, but Shibata refuses to go, clutching the back of his head and shaking his head. It's not an act of defiance or resilience, this is a man trying to stay alive.
Angle, despite having animalistic tendencies, has respect for Shibata after tonight and he shows mercy. He sends Shibata into the ropes chest first and when Katsuyori rebounds, he's caught with an Angle Slam. A cover by Kurt over the defenseless Shibata leads to one simple phrase, but one that intensifies the fullness in Shibata's head.
'And Still.']

AEW Big Business Dynamite, Mar 19, 2025:
Kota Ibushi vs Kurt Angle (c), TNT Championship
[Shortly after defeating Shibata in the hardest hitting match of Angle's career, he begins to lash out at the company that gave him his first big break. New Japan.
He states that he can work circles around any NJPW darling that think they're special because they had a few flashy matches in a company nobody watches.

Kenny Omega storms the ring, avoiding a chair shot before hitting a V-Trigger sending the chair into Angle's face. Kurt retreats as Omega helps Ibushi up and Kurt's next challenge becomes increasingly clear, arguably the greatest NJPW wrestler of all time, Kenny Omega.]

Kenny Omega vs Kurt Angle (c), TNT Championship
[In the weeks leading up to Dynasty, we get some good build for this match including Angle and Hobbs vs Golden Lovers in which Omega pinned Hobbs for his team, as well as a segment in which Kenny and Kurt come face to face.
Kenny in full Terminator gear, he tells Kurt that he's been a big fish in a small pond until now, and that he should be careful not to forget who the original wrestling machine is.
When it comes bell time, Angle quickly recognizes Omega as the most pure athlete he's faced to date. The speed, the intensity, the pressure. Omega brings all of it in his first title match since returning late last year to combat The New Elite.

AEW Double Or Nothing, May 24, 2025:
Kurt Angle w/ Dean Malenko vs PAC
[Angle's first match back takes place two weeks prior to this one when he and Hobbs take on The Lucha Brothers. A victory for Angle and Hobbs isn't enough as Kurt attacks Fénix after the bell, refusing to release the Ankle Lock. Malenko eggs him on, telling him to break Fénix's leg.
This brings out PAC, who comes to the rescue of his long time friend and stablemate. He gets in Angle's face and shows no intimidation as he backs Kurt up. With Double Or Nothing around the corner, Angle believes PAC will make for an excellent first victim on his way to the top of the food chain.
Angle focuses more on his submission work under the advice of Malenko, he targets the legs making it hard for PAC to execute his aerial maneuvers. PAC is able to trap Angle in the Rings Of Saturn late, but Angle finds his way out, and gets a grip on the ankle. Moments later, PAC is tapping out.]

[Following his dominant victory over PAC, Angle sets his sights on the top of the mountain and the man standing at the peak of it. Ospreay has become unanimously agreed upon as probably the best wrestler on the planet. Angle looks to disprove this theory, and take care of another NJPW castaway.

AEW All Out, Sep 6, 2025:
Bryan Danielson vs Kurt Angle w/ Dean Malenko
[Just two weeks removed from a victory over long time rival, Nigel McGuiness, Danielson is riding high and wants the most intense competition possible for All Out.
Naturally, this attracts Kurt Angle, a man who has never been submitted, yet has an incredible string of submission victories. He challenges Danielson's claims to be the best technical wrestler in the world, and promises to tap out The Dragon.
Throughout the dream contest, Angle targets and does significant damage to the knee and ankle of Bryan. Bryan attempts to apply similar limb targeting to the previously injured arm of Angle. With both men's history of neck issues, there's plenty of nasty envelope pushes in that department as well.
Bryan looks for a Busaiku Knee late when Angle catches him and gets a powerbomb reversal, he then applies a Boston Crab, squeezing the Achilles Tendon of Danielson. Bryan is able to edge to his back and roll Angle into a pin.
Kurt kicks out, and Danielson lands a roundhouse to a kneeling Angle, leaving him lamenting himself after he feels the effect on his leg. He pulls Angle up for a Dragon Suplex, but Angle breaks the grip and gets a Snapmare Takedown.
Bryan lands on his feet and begins blistering Angle with repeated kicks to the chest, wincing after every one. He finally backs up and tries for the roundhouse, but Kurt catches him in an Ankle Lock.
Kurt twists away at the squirming Danielson, who is able to turn just enough to start landing up-kicks to the bad shoulder of Angle. Danielson then gets a Triangle, pulling Angle in to the submission.
He traps the bad arm and begins striking away at the shoulder socket with elbows. Angle powers up, lifting Danielson before dumping him into the turnbuckles, crumpling Bryan into the corner.
Angle whips Bryan into the corner and he performs a Springboard Moonsault, landing on his bad ankle. Kurt slithers in and cinches an Ankle Lock in yet again. Bryan rolls out and gets a LeBell Lock applied, the bad arm of Angle angled awkwardly. Kurt makes the ropes and Bryan fires up into the corner.
He beckons Kurt up and closes the distance with a Busaiku Knee, Angle ducks, Bryan's bad knee hits the top turnbuckle! Angle Slam connects!
Kurt covers and in doing so obtains the single biggest victory of his career so far. An incredible effort from both men, and an incredible step forward for Kurt Angle.]
Kurt Angle def Bryan Danielson
AEW WrestleDream, Oct 11, 2025:
Bryan Danielson vs Kurt Angle w/ Dean Malenko vs Zack Sabre Jr., Ultimate Submission
[A victory over Bryan Danielson should have Kurt on cloud nine, but he can't help feel disappointed that he didn't deliver on his promise. He didn't tap Bryan out. He challenges Danielson, one more match, a thirty minute timer, no pinfalls, most submissions wins.
Rather than Danielson, it's NJPW's resident technical wizard, Zack Sabre Jr. who answers the call. He states that him and Angle have unfinished business. In the G1 Climax last year, Zack had Angle on the brink of submission but just as Kurt was about to give in, his body gave out and he passed out instead.
Zack has kept that goal in the back of his head since, to make the unsubmittable Kurt Angle tap out. Kurt says that he has great respect for Sabre Jr. but right now he is focused on Danielson.
Bryan enters and states a solution, a triple threat match, under Angle's proposed rules of course, to finally determine who the best technical wrestler in the world is.
Match time arrives and all three men feel the pressure in the air. Three of the most technically gifted pro wrestlers of all time engaged in a war for a chance to finally be crowned the undisputed king of tapping people out.
Twenty five minutes of pure grappling glory elapse, and despite some close calls, none of the three competitors have submitted. With five minutes remaining, all three men are volatile in their pursuit to finally get a point.
Bryan looks for a diving knee strike, when Kurt catches him and cinches an Ankle Lock. Danielson rolls forward and Zack leaps onto the shoulders of Kurt, ranas him to the canvas and locks a mounting triangle.
Bryan with a roundhouse to Zack, pulling him off of Kurt, Bryan proceeds to lock Cattle Mutilation on Sabre who kicks and struggles to survive the maneuver.
Kurt out of nowhere with a Moonsault to Danielson! The grip on Sabre Jr. released, Zack rolls out of the ring. Kurt focuses on Danielson, landing his trio of German Suplexes, Bryan on his feet during the third attempt.
Busaiku Knee, Kurt ducks just enough to catch Bryan across his shoulders. Torture Rack applied on Danielson, bending Bryan over his shoulders. Bryan shifts off the shoulders and locks a Guillotine on Angle, trying to cut off blood flow to the brain.
Angle attempts to reverse with a Northern Lights, but Bryan lands on his feet and maintains grip, forming a bridging guillotine. Zack slithers in, kicking Bryan in the knee and causing Danielson to kneel while keeping the Guillotine applied.
Zack gets a Triangle on Bryan while Bryan has a reverse Guillotine on Kurt, after a few moments, Bryan has to cut his losses with Kurt and try to escape Sabre's grip.
He inches free of the Triangle, getting grip on the legs for a Boston Crab. He tucks the legs and bridges back for a modified Muta Lock. He gives up and applies a seated Guillotine. No matter what Bryan does, Sabre fights on, less than a minute remains when Bryan locks the LeBell Lock.
He drives his knuckles into the nose of Sabre, eventually garnering color, as the crimson begins to leak into his mouth. Danielson covers the mouth and nose with his hands, seconds remain when Kurt rushes in to save the match.
Zack Sabre Jr. is drowning in his own blood.
Three, Two, Sabre Jr. taps!
With one second on the clock, Danielson forces a submission, Kurt was fingertips away from saving the match-up. Sabre Jr. is released and inhales big, gulping breathe, bile and blood leaking from his mouth. Angle gets to his feet and approaches Danielson.
A handshake follows as Bryan Danielson is acknowledged as the Ultimate Submission Master in one of the greatest displays of technical wrestling ever.]

What isn't made clear at the time is that this actually serves as Kurt Angle's AEW farewell. He bids farewell to Malenko, telling him to watch over Hobbs for him and vice versa with Hobbs. Less than a month later, his contract expires and he opts not to resign. Questions begin to flare up about where Kurt Angle may turn up next, rumors even begin to circulate that he may be done with professional wrestling for the foreseeable future.
Remember that thing about death and taxes?
WWE Royal Rumble, Jan 31, 2026:
[The Royal Rumble arrives, and as with any given Rumble, who knows what surprises may be in store?
The Men's Rumble match is occuring when entry number twenty-seven is about to be revealed. Medal sounds and the roof comes off of Kaseya Center as the words KURT ANGLE pan across the titantron. The Olympic Hero has arrived.
Angle racks up a couple of eliminations, tossing Johnny Gargano after a fun sequence and Shinsuke Nakamura after an exchange of strikes. Angle comes face to face with AJ Styles who engages in a staredown with The Wrestling Machine.
Before they can lock up, both men are ambushed by other participants, delaying the dream match. Kurt makes it to the final six, but runs into a brick wall when he attempts to eliminate Bron Breakker.

SmackDown, Feb 6, 2026:
John Cena's Open Challenge
[Cena, entering the twilight of his career, goes back to his old open challenge routine, wanting to face as many young superstars as he can before he calls it a career.
His first of these challenges is answered by Kurt Angle himself, who comes face to face with the established Cena. In just his second WWE match, Angle wants to lock up with the GOAT.
Cena, perplexed and expecting a talent on the roster that he was familiar with to appear, poses a reasonable question.
"Who in the hell are you?"
'I'm Kurt Angle'
"Kurt Angle, huh? Tell me, what is the one quality that you possess that makes you think you can come out here and challenge the very best?"
Angle pauses, somehow, he knows exactly what to say.
'Ruthless Aggression.'
Angle clocks Cena and the bell rings, Angle's WWE debut and he has a chance to show that ruthless aggression against one of the most reputable names in wrestling history.
Cena starts out the contest believing Angle will be an easy foe and taking time to pander to the audience. It doesn't take long though for Kurt to gain his respect with a surprise German Suplex while Cena is standing on the middle turnbuckle.
Angle begins to unload with a variety of kick variations and suplexes, wobbling Cena. Cena avoids a Moonsault and lands a Code Red for a near fall.
He beckons Angle up for an Attitude Adjustment, and Angle shifts off the shoulders to begin his trio of German Suplexes. He bridge pins on the third and Cena muscles out.
Angle looks for an Ankle Lock, but Cena rolls free. Attitude Adjustment positioning, Angle lands on his feet. Another German Suplex connects and Angle rolls through, lifting Cena into an emphatic Angle Slam.
Cena narrowly manages to kick out. Angle sizes Cena up for one more Angle Slam, Cena escapes to his feet, Attitude Adjustment, Angle shifts into a roll-up on Cena.
Three seconds later, and Angle has defeated the 16x World Champion in his WWE debut. A shocked Cena watches as Angle takes his place as a hot commodity in WWE.]

AJ Styles refuses to be viewed as someone to be put out to pasture and tells Angle to bring his intensity, bring his intelligence, bring his integrity and then come to terms with the fact that it still won't be enough.
Angle tries for an Angle Slam after Styles misses a Springboard 450, Styles maneuvers his way over and into Styles Clash position only for Angle to grip the ankle and turn it into an Ankle Lock.
Styles writhes and tries to make the ropes, but Angle drags him back into the center of the ring and sits down into a knee bar - ankle lock fusion forcing Styles to submit to The Wrestling Machine.]

WWE King & Queen Of The Ring, Jun 27, 2026:
Damian Priest vs Kurt Angle
[Kurt enters into the King Of The Ring tournament following his loss to Rhodes, but not before kicking Cedric out of Team Angle. He's replaced by a man Angle knows well, the debuting Josh Alexander.
While Josh and Kemp pick up the tag team titles, Angle focuses in on the tournament. He is able to defeat Rey Mysterio in the first round, Dragon Lee in the second, Pete Dunne in the quarters, and Cedric in the semis.
Damian, meanwhile wins the RAW bracket and the finals are set. The Punisher vs The Wrestling Machine.
In a vein very similar to what an Angle/Undertaker match looks like, Priest muscles around Angle, only for Kurt to surprise him with his own strength. Angle works on the leg, rendering Priest's kicking ability useless and kneading him for the eventual Ankle Lock.
Damian looks for Razor's Edge, powering through the pain in his leg. As he chucks Angle, Kurt reverses with a huracanrana taking Priest off guard. Angle begins his trio of Germans, on the third attempt, Priest maneuvers free and gets a Thunder Clap on Angle.
He sets up for The Reckoning, but Angle hits a Southern Lights Suplex, sending Priest forward to the canvas. Angle gets an Angle Slam for a near-fall.
A Moonsault follows, but Priest gets a grip across the throat as Kurt comes down. He lands South Of Heaven for a close two count. Damian sizes up Kurt from across the ring.
Tornado Kick, intercepted, Kurt locks onto the ankle! Priest tries to roll out, kick Kurt away, but Angle is relentless and vice grips around the ankle, torturing Damian.
Priest eventually passes out from the pain, giving Angle a victory, albeit one he's only slightly satisfied with. Regardless of how, Kurt has won King Of The Ring and will now main event SummerSlam for the World Heavyweight Championship.]

WWE Battleground, Jul 25, 2026:
Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle
[Brock, having returned in the Royal Rumble earlier in the year and announcing a retirement tour, culminating at SummerSlam in his hometown, sets his sights on Kurt Angle.
Kurt, one month away from main eventing SummerSlam, accepts Brock's challenge, dubbing him one more legend Kurt can send packing.
The match is evidently very intense with Brock showing his trademark dominance and Angle impressing with bursts of strength and out-grappling Lesnar.
Towards the climax of the match, both men begin exchanging German Suplexes. Brock eventually decides to do the continuous trio ala Kurt. Angle lands on his feet on the third attempt and rolls Brock into a deadlift German Suplex.
Kurt scales for a Moonsault, but Brock catches him in mid-air for an F-5, Kurt scrambles free and gets an Ankle Lock applied. Brock is able to fight out, applying a Kimura Lock. Kurt makes it to the ropes and Brock gets fed up.
Lesnar goes to the top turnbuckle for the first time in decades and attempts a Shooting Star Press. Kurt moves and Lesnar eats canvas, Angle immediately jumps onto the leg of Brock applying an agonizing Ankle Lock.
After minutes of Kurt's snake-like refusal to release his grip, he does what few have ever been able to do and makes The Beast tap out. After the bout, Brock shakes the hand of Kurt Angle and Kurt looks ahead to his titanic Heavyweight Title opportunity.]

CONT. In Comments

New Season, and I’m not very impressed. First 3 hours playing:

• Can’t buy the season pass, it just gives me an error. Maybe it’s overloaded.
  
• All the helm upgrades are reset. I was looking for a reason for it, as in part of the story, but found none. I still have the upgrades for helm goods, but all the work put into the other upgrades are gone. Do I really want to grind all the manufactories AND upgrades again? Talk about hamster on a wheel.
  
• Used helm leases and upgraded 6 ports to level 10, fully funded. An hour or so later, one was attacked. I went to defend it in a snow. I guess the bar represented damage to the port? Was it a timer? I don’t know. The ships were ignoring me and firing on the port. Either way I lost. There was no way I could have killed all the ships in time. Now it’s down for 14 hours. Ouch!
  
• 3 hours in and first crash, locked up my Xbox and had to manually reset it. Really? It’s been 3 months, and this is still happening?
  
• The ship upgrades are lackluster. More HP, a little faster, more cargo, and 1 benefit per class (if you don’t count easier turning, how exciting) when fully upgraded. How about more gun ports, make us more powerful. Sure, lower level ships get those, but that just brings them up to the mediums we currently have.
  
• Season Pass doesn’t look that great either. Cosmetics, resources, and weapons that look lackluster. New ship is a mine layer. We will see how that plays out, but I can envision the AI ships move to avoid the mines the same as they do currently with torps. They’re passive weapons that don’t look too exciting, just fling them out and hope something hits the mines. Looks like a PVP-centric mechanic, and I hate PVP.
  

Between all the above, the wind got knocked right out of my sails. I really don’t want to brick my Xbox to play a game that doesn’t seem to respect the time you put into it. The thought grinding back up to where I was before just to lose it all in less than 90 days gives me a headache.
Suggestions

• Don’t make losing a defend mission on one of your ports so punishing, or balance the damn thing so you don’t get so many ships spawn.
  
• Don’t lose helm upgrades. Come up with new ones that we can grind. Add, never subtract. Losing something you work for never feels good. Losing the ports because of a story element? Ok, but give us a chance to get them back by defeating the bastards that took them.
  

As we defeat the new enemies, our ports are slowly recovered, back to the same level they were before. Having to perform the same actions to take the ports, and having to upgrade them again, is just lazy.

• Make the ship upgrades meaningful. Each step should add something that will make the ship more powerful and lower the time-to-kill. Faster? More HP? Not terribly exciting.

How about more gun ports as I mentioned above. Something like adding active skills to upgraded ships. Oil for the Sambuk that will coat the enemy deck and make fire do double damage, and last longer. Have the Brigantine give a large bonus to long guns, and the ability to fire all cannons in unison.
Just ideas off the top my head, so don’t pick them apart. Just do something better.

• Fix the damn XBOX freezing bug. If you can’t, tell us why it’s happening. Maybe we can do something.

I really like the game. I want to play the game. Unfortunately the game makes it difficult to do either.
Before people jump in with, “Everyone knew the reset was coming,” you are correct. I knew it. I wasn’t sure that the helm upgrades were to be reset, however. Maybe I missed something. Either way, I withheld judgement until I could see how Ubisoft handled it, mechanics and story wise. Totally disappointed. No explanation, no story, nothing besides, “Go do it all again! Aren’t we all having fun?!”
I’m just sorry I purchased currency to buy the season pass before I found all of this out. And hell, I can’t even buy the damn pass!
I hope the game improves before too many people jump ship.

I jumped on Oto really early and got two units. The precision of sending water only where it's needed, and the automation of not watering when it has been raining, are fantastic value propositions. However, after 3 years I'm giving up on Oto. They simply have too many issues for a unit that expensive. For that price, I expect the unit to work at least 5 years on average.
Here are the issues I've had:
* Range. After a month or two of use, both my original units got nowhere near 30ft of range, despite having the right pressure and flow. They ended up going 22-25ft. The one of these units I still have, goes about 21-22ft. Perhaps this was due to some issue with early models in spring 2021 (Model code: 6014-C). That distance isn't enough to handle my yard, but I lived with some things at the edges not getting watered.
* Leaks. When one of the units started leaking consistently from the sprinkler head (not from the hose attachment), I asked Oto support about it. The support really is 5-star A+ excellent. They wanted to research the leak, so asked me to send the unit back, although it was out of warranty, and sent me a replacement. That replacement is model 6014-R. It had much better range. I'm not sure if it was the full 30ft, but at least 27-28ft. It made me consider replacing the old one, to get full coverage of the yard, but I didn't.
* Dead after winter storage. When I unpacked the two units from winter storage this spring, the new unit (6014-R) I got last year wouldn't turn on. The red LED shines for a while when charging it. But after about an hour of charging, the LED goes dark. The unit won't respond to anything in that state until it's unplugged for a few days. At some point (perhaps when the battery drains enough?), the LED turns RED again from solar panel charging, and I can try again. But the same set of events repeat. Support asked me to take the steps to resolve this (most of which don't apply to model 6014-R), and I've tried those many times without success. This unit is only 1 year old, but since I got it as a one-time out-of-warranty exception, it isn't under warranty.
So, I'm out. This product could be amazing. But it's just too expensive for having quality issues like this.
For a cheaper option (where it would be ok if something broke each season), I'm switching to the toy-looking Gilmour 996D Pattern Master Impulse sprinkler (for the lawn zone - it has a simple mechanical way to water more selectively than in a full circle), a soaker hose (for the tomato and garden zone), and Rainpoint Wifi sprinkler timers (which are smart enough not to water when it has been raining, and on which you can control the watering depth based on the water volume you tell them to release, after a little bit of manual math).
I'll watch lawncare for other people's Oto experiences. Once I start hearing people say they've been using them without issues for 5+ years, I'll probably get them again.
(as an aside, besides the quality issues, there only 1 design change I would love to see with the Oto: it's a huge box because it has space for the 3 bottles of fertilizer and such. I don't have any intention of using products like that. I would have loved an Oto version which was much smaller, without the 3-bottle-storage. That would look much better in my garden, where the Oto ends up sitting kind of in the middle of the view.)

I often have downloads that need to be finished before the system should shutdown so I set a timer to automatically shutdown the system. However, that results in losing the session (this seems to be manually recoverable, see below). In fact, even sending a SIGTERM signal to Firefox loses the session and it seems the only way to ensure the session is saved is to manually close Firefox (i.e. not scriptable for an unattended shutdown).
By "losing the session" it seems this means sessionstore.jsonlz4 (compressed version of the session written when Firefox closes) is not written unless Firefox is manually closed. Actually, it seems I'm able to recover the session by copying recovery.jsonlz4 to replace the missing/old sessionstore.jsonlz4. If this workaround is reliable and can be used this way, it seems strange that recovery.jsonlz4 is also a compressed version of the session that is written but not sessionstore.jsonlz4 when closed automatically (i.e. via script or SIGTERM).
Anyway, I was wondering if there's a better way to cleanly shutdown Firefox in an automated manner and/or if it's inevitable that the session is not written to sessionstore.jsonlz4 if Firefox was automatically closed whether manually recovering the session is a reliable workaround.
I believe Firefox writes current session to disk every X seconds as a backup recovery session in case Firefox gets terminated but at least for me I don't get prompted to recover this session and it only seems to attempt to run the previous version of sessionstore.jsonlz4 (that is only written when Firefox is closed manually/"cleanly").
P.S. Unrelated, but anyone use profile-sync-daemon? Seems like an useful tool but I was wondering if it's trivial to adapt that to use multiple Firefox profiles in custom paths. I have many of these instances firejail'd so each has its own profiles.ini but this seems to (reasonably) assume that there's only one profiles.ini and multiple profiles. I can script it's not clear to me whether this assumption comes with limitations that I might not be able to adapt to my use case.

Ecells Five Star eBike 2024 Review - A lovely bike to entertain me, tinker with, and even get around in fairly practically!

• Notes:
  
  • Ordered the stock model without any add-ons. Shipped almost immediately and I had it in less than a week. Ordering was entertaining.
  • I had considered a few things to add-on (extra battery, better suspension, etc) but the bike was already not cheap ($2000), seemed like a LOT, and would be a custom order that would take 75 days.
  • I have never had a nice bike or an ebike, but I have had an old, heavy hybrid that I used for fun and for a few triathlons. No suspension and basics for mainly road use. 1993 Bridgestone XO-5 that I maintained and enjoyed for a lot of years but has some issues.
• Pros:
  
  • Lots of interesting adjustments and things to tinker with
  • Comes with a more than what I was expecting (tool kit, controller features)
  • Fast and fun. Set controller power to act bike-like when you want it to be (PAS 1-2) and it progressively becomes more motorcycle-like when you go up from there and even just half-power throttle setting is very much so.
  • Took her up to 32 mph a couple times with throttle on and pedaling as hard as I can. Seems excessively fast for a bike and insane for sidewalk travel.
  • Have ridden through rain, puddles, dirt, sand, and uneven terrain. Nothing much seems to bother her.
  • Assembly was quick and straightforward. It took me about an hour to assemble by myself and then about another hour and a half of tinkering to get it right. It was awkward and heavy at times so I would recommend having another person help.
  • At PAS 2 it seems like I will be able to go a very far distance. 25% of the battery seemed to equate to around 20 miles this way, but I do tend to pedal hard because I try to keep it at 20 mph.
  • Takes bumps like a champ even going fast (20-25 mph)
  • Handles really well on turns and seems very stable.
  • I like the fat tires more than I thought, but I do still feel they are excessive and overkill for my mostly road and sidewalk use.
  • Makes biking feel like you’re on varying easy modes
  • I wake up every day and want to take her around in the morning. Feels free.
  • Onlookers think it’s cool
  • Going as fast as cars in local, lower-speed areas is a thrill
  • You feel like you can ride it anywhere and are more free, capable, and versatile on a vehicle than you have ever been before
  • Still disguised as a somewhat mountain bike look
  • Doesn’t kick up much dirt or water on the rider
  • Nice 7-speed gears for use wherever
  • Straightforward for anything I want to attach to bike
• Cons:
  
  • Color doesn’t match site pics (the red was more orangey in the pic and unique vs other reds). I expected this was just a color correction issue, but still kinda annoying. I have already started removing the branding stickers and I may do a wrap or something if the color bothers me. The sports car red is growing on me, it’s just a bit generic and I thought their orange was pretty cool.
  • Heavy as hell and as a result, difficult to move around
  • Also big as hell and had to make a larger space for this than my other hybrid, more-road bike.
  • Brake pads and disc rub the super slightest amount and has made me think something may be slightly off. One of those things I could only tell when I was spinning the front tire when I had the bike upside down during assembly and haven’t heard/noticed since.
  • Chain seems slightly loose and slips very occasionally if I’m really pushing as hard as I can when pedaling. Have been adjusting the derailleur and it has gotten better. I’ve been considering removing a link as well. It’s more noticeable over bumps so it could be a suspension thing I’m not used to.
  • Cruise control seems to work sometimes, but wasn’t an advertised feature so I can’t complain too much. I like to pedal anyways, so I was more checking if it actually worked.
  • Tough to tell how long you should charge the battery for, but I’m starting to be able to guestimate one bar is about 70 minutes on the charger. Mechanical or other timers seem essential to prevent overcharging issues.
  • No phone app. I know it’s just a nice-to-have, but it brings it up to certain level of consumer comfort.
  • Inconsistent voltage, but may just be from using new battery and the adjustment period. Voltage has ranged from 67 when near fully charged to as low as 57 when down to about 20% charge.
  • It’s a LOT and most people would not enjoy a tinkering bike that you need to learn a lot to use. I had to watch several videos to know how to make adjustments to get my bike properly configured in general and again for me that wasn't necessarily straightforward or indicated in the manuals.
  • Some of the adjustments were questionable. Why did I have to tighten the handlebar grips to prevent them from spinning and adjust the stalk? A few simple fixes like this and there are no issues now, but it can make you question their quality checks.
  • Nothing that’s actually a “Ecells Five Star Owner’s manual”. It is more like a collection of parts and their own body style’s manual and the configuration of it is the Five Star.
  • If I had left it in the out-of-the-box controller configuration, I would’ve thought I had a sluggish bike that didn’t feel smooth or satisfying in its application of power.
  • I may want to get a nicer kickstand as the one it has is only semi-stable feeling.
• Conclusion:
  
  • Negatives aren’t dealbreakers and positives are the reason I got it. If you like tinkering, learning, and working a little at making the bike just right for you (well worth the effort, I might add) then this is an amazing bike.

Hello RMTs!
So ayuuun, finally first day ko na sa job tomorrow. Kaso problema ko lang, sobrang kinakabahan ako. I did my internship kasi sa hospital kaya puro automated machines lang yung natutunan kong gamitin. Also from 2nd year to 3rd year, full online kami dahil sa pandemic kaya hindi ako ganun ka-familiar mag-manual testing. Pati yung phlebotomy, konti lang din yung experience ko since limited lang yung interaction namin with the patients nung internship.
I have so many doubts sa sarili ko kung kakayanin ko ba. Sobrang kinakabahan ako lalo pa at puro manual yung gagawin. Parang napanghihinaan ako ng loob. May tips po ba kayo for first timers like me? Pa-share naman po please if meronnn huhuhu.
Thank you po, RMTs!

I have an enemy for my clicker game. And I have a node that instantiates those enemies. When the enemies reach the castle they are meant to stop and slowly lower the castles health. The problem is when they are instantiated by my game object they don't have the _on_castle_area_entered signal applied and it has to be applied manually. Is there a way I can connect these signals via code? I'm super new to coding so I'm not sure if this is an easy fix or not.
Thanks in advance :)
Code: extends Area2D
​

Hi everyone,
I wanted a solution for a customer to automatically sync SharePoints site inside explorer. So, I found the policy 'Configure team site libraries to sync automatically'. After testing it inside my DEV tenant and DEV VM, everything works perfectly! I also created a PowerShell script to change the TimerAutoMount Registry setting.
Couple days ago, I created this policy inside the customer tenant. Inside the device configuration profile is get a 'Success' status. But on the client side I got an error message. Can someone help me please? Manually sync the Site goes ok, so permissions seem not to be the issue.

Step 1: Removing the Back Cover

1. Heat the Edges: Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the edges of the back cover. This softens the adhesive.
   
2. Insert a Pry Tool: Gently insert a plastic pry tool between the back cover and the frame.
   
3. Slide and Lift: Carefully slide the tool around the edges and lift the cover. Be cautious of any cables attached to the cover.
   

Step 2: Disconnecting the Battery

1. Locate the Battery Connector: Identify the battery connector on the motherboard.
   
2. Unscrew and Disconnect: Use a precision screwdriver to remove any screws securing the battery connector, then gently disconnect it.
   

Step 3: Removing the Broken Screen

1. Heat the Screen: Apply heat to the edges of the screen to soften the adhesive.
   
2. Use a Suction Cup: Place the suction cup on the screen and lift gently to create a gap.
   
3. Insert a Pry Tool: Slide a plastic pry tool into the gap and work around the edges to loosen the screen.
   
4. Lift the Screen: Once the adhesive is sufficiently loosened, lift the screen away from the frame.
   
5. Remove Residual Adhesive: Carefully scrape off any remaining adhesive from the frame using a plastic tool.
   
6. Clean the Surface: Wipe the frame with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol to ensure a clean surface for the new adhesive.
   

Step 5: Installing the New Screen

1. Apply Adhesive Strips: Place new adhesive strips around the edges of the frame.
   
2. Position the New Screen: Align the new screen with the frame and press it into place.
   
3. Reconnect the Battery: Reattach the battery connector and secure it with screws.
   

Step 6: Reassembling the Phone

1. Replace the Back Cover: Align the back cover with the frame and press it into place. Ensure all clips are securely fastened.
   
2. Power On: Turn on the phone to test the new screen.
   

Step 7: Testing the New Screen

1. Check Touch Functionality: Ensure that the touch response is accurate across the entire screen.
   
2. Display Quality: Look for any dead pixels or discoloration.
   
3. Reassemble: Once satisfied with the screen performance, fully reassemble the phone and apply any additional adhesive if necessary.
   

Tips and Best Practices from a Google Pixel Service

1. Use Genuine Parts: Always opt for original or high-quality replacement screens to ensure compatibility and longevity.
   
2. Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Refer to the Google Pixel repair manual for specific instructions related to your model.
   
3. Avoid Overheating: When using a heat gun, avoid excessive heat that could damage internal components.
   
4. Handle Components with Care: Be gentle with connectors and cables to avoid tearing or damage.
   
5. Test before Final Assembly: Always test the new screen’s functionality before sealing the phone completely.
   

Troubleshooting Common Issues

1. Screen Not Responding: Ensure all connectors are securely attached. Recheck the battery connection.
   
2. Display Issues: If there are lines or discoloration, try reseating the display connectors.
   
3. Phone not powering On: Double-check the battery connection and ensure there are no loose components.
   

Conclusion

Replacing a Google Pixel screen requires patience, precision, and the right tools. By following this step-by-step guide and the insights from a Google Pixel Service Centre, you can successfully replace your screen and restore your phone to its full functionality. Remember to take your time and handle each component with care to avoid any additional damage.
Screen replacement not only saves you money but also empowers you to maintain and repair your device independently. With practice, you'll gain confidence and proficiency in handling more complex services. Happy fixing!

I think it's most common situation - when you are in the pressurized ship and need to get out to space, but not waisting O2. I want to know how do you guys solve it.
A simple process and my solution:
(1) I place the button triggering timer#1: door power on, air vent depressurization on, timer#2 start in 3sec.
(2) room is depressurized till the last O2 molecule (sometimes it's very important). Timer#2: Door open, timer#3 start in 5 sec
(3) the door is opened or ready to open. There was a time to get in/out. Timer#3: door close, timer#4 start in 1 sec
(4) Timer#4 : door power off (to prevent manual interaction)
So I used 4 timers. It could be also made with sensor or event controller, but it's not relible and more suitable for short 2 doors depressurization. And it could be made with less timers, but I need only 1 click to make it all (store O2 open and close door).
How do you make it? How many and wich blocks you use?

Hi! So basically, I am using an autohotkey V1 (1.1.37.02) script to see when I switch fields on Tournament Manager (something for Robotics competitions), and I am having an issue where it just won't take. This is the original code: https://github.com/AlecH92/VEXTournamentManagerTools/blob/masteAutoHotKey%20Scripts/LargeDigitAutomation.ahk
Also If I go to the IPs of the ESP32s Webserver by typing in the IP, it works fine. (for manual updates , not the automatic one)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q1. Should I re-roll?

• This depends on how much time you have to dedicate to re-rolling. In general, all three of the beginner banner characters are great, and you have options of doing shortelonger re-rolls, as per this guide.

Q2. Why is my answer incorrect in for the trail puzzle?

• Try to answer with proper letter casing - the answers are case-sensitive.

Q3. When is the daily reset?

• The game resets at 10:00 UTC, please refer to this timer.

Q4. Does pity transfer over to the next banner?

• Yes, pity should transfer over to the next banner of the same type.

Q5. How should I build my team?

• In general, teams consist of a single damage dealer that get supported by support-type characters, but there are many variations. We encourage you to take a look at some of the guides above!

Q6. Can I re-watch the cut-scenes/story?

• From the main screen/lobby, refer to the left icon below the Bank, go to Atlas, then go to the Story Review. This does not currently apply for event stories, unfortunately.

Q7. Are multiple copies of a certain character necessary?

• This will depend on a character-by-character basis. In general, however, there should not be a large importance on getting duplicate copies of a character.

Q8. When should I stop leveling characters?

• Please refer to the investment guide listed above.

Q9. What should I purchase in the Psychube Shop (Thought Elements/Thoughts in Eternity)?

• Do not buy the 5-star psychubes, as we will eventually get enough 6-stars.
• Prioritization order:

1. LF Polarization
2. Englighten I
3. Enlighten II

Q10. What should I prioritize in the Oneric Shop (Oneric Fluid)?

• Prioritization order:

1. Monthy Brief Cacophony
2. Crystal Casket
3. Permanent Brief Cacophony (or Moment of Dissonance to craft Brief Cacophony if needed)
4. Sonorous Knell

Misc Questions
M1. Are macros and auto-clickers allowed?

• No. They are against the game's terms of service; any usage will risk the potential of being banned.

im sure we all wanna tell the devs and mods a few things (preferable not mean things) and i figured id just make a post for it and hope it gets stopped by one of them. if any of yall have any opinions, suggestions, or unput then please go ahead and comment. otherwise im gonna go on some rants here about random things and give my input on stuff. unless you wanna read my random inputs, you might as well stop reading here.

• Home Sweet Home effect just being a sphere or something, please. i tried making a sort of mega base in a big open room and placed down a lot of the crafting benches but... the effect doesnt cover the full area properly, and not in a way that makes sense either. the effect goes away if i go to the other side of a wall, it goes away if i go up some stair, it goes away if i stand on railing. i dont quite know how the Home Sweet Home effect covers an area but please just make it a simple basic sphere or something if possible.
• in a similar vein to my last point, can the little notification for Home Sweet Home not stack on each other? this isnt a complaint at all, i actually find it quite funny and this is more a nit pick over anything else. its just that because of the zone acting weird like i mentioned a second ago, whenever i go up a certain stair case or walk in certain spots ill just suddenly see You're in a safe place, relatively speaking. go off the top of my screen in an instant.
• please please please add more power outlets in portal worlds. portal bases are SUPER cool and fun but like... the actual locations you can set up a base are so... limited. the antiverse worlds make sense to have no power outlets but the train, furniture store, flathill (which has an established on site facility), and the portal world that just is a facility all have almost NO power outlets with the very few places with power outlets being the next to those cascade facility generators. especially compared to the like... almost oppressive amount of power outlets in the normal facility.
• can you please place a like... no collision section of the back part of shelves please? there is a concave curved wall in the large open area with the fish tanks in the containment area that i wanna place shelves onto but even the smallest shelves just barely clip their corners into the wall and make them impossible to place. if there was just a bit of no collision on the back of it so it could be places a bit more freely, please?
• add an npc or email that talks about the research pack in a way that puts it into your little quest/objective list so its easier to find. i ended up reaching the security sector before even realizing the pack was a thing. i will admit i mostly just glance through all dialog and emails but even still i jsut wish it was marked in some way and is almost hard to miss as long as you talk to people and check emails.
• please explain what in the world a lot of the symbols and abbreviations mean for the the containment sector and entity log. add a key in the entity list or something because like... seeing all those 2 letter abbreviations in the entity logs and those unique icons next to the physical containment of some of them is interesting and cool!... but what do they mean? again, i just glance through a lot of stuff but i really hope i dont have to manually write down what things mean. plus im confident all those icons actually mean things in some way, especially since so many of the entities have some audio log from Dr. Manse so i KNOW yall love adding flavor into this game, but i really just wish i understood everything actually means.
• please add some kind of timer or something. an alarm of sorts would be GREAT! i will admit. its mostly just so i can like... have some of my defenses turn on ad night but be turned off during the day for the sake of killing robots but not wasting all my battery power. i would really just love if you could add a little alarm or timer or something that allows you to rig things on a system timer. im using a manual switch right now and as its, its pretty annoying waking up at midnight when i realize i forgot to flip the switch and now there is a security robot beating up one of my walls

First, I'm pretty sure this is the beta for a social game. and 8 people from 9 subreddits were invited. one of which was ARG, which I am from.
The goals of this social game are:

• Find 'anomalies' inside youtube videos. (I think they are in only Hawksearcher's YouTube videos?)
• Find 'spells', idk where or how (They are either spelled like code, or with square brackets around the words. Or that's just an easier way for viewers to read it if they don't know what is happening?)
• Then we use those spells on those anomalies, showcased in the comment section of 'Anomaly Subdued'. I am not sure if we are supposed to play the game on reddit or on youtube, but I suspect only on Youtube.

The rules of the game so far are very limited: We, as a whole, can only 1 'spell' on an anomaly per 24hrs. I do not know how that is decided, first comment of the day or most significant comment? but I believe that the default actions in here do not use this 24hr timer? It would suck for [inspect] to be used on multiple days.
Second, Hawksearcher seems to be the one running the game. He's the 'game masteGM', but I do not understand if the game is automated via some API program with youtube comments, or if they are manually input. He heavily encourages "discussing strategy" but I see no way for strategy to be important at this stage of the game. Just experiment I guess?
I intend to stick around and see if anything significant or fun happens. So if you have any questions about how the game plays without asking the GM, I guess we should keep them in this thread just because it will be easier to track.
TL;DR, Hawksearcher is running a YouTube social game where we as a group capture enemies by typing codes into youtube comments.

I’m hoping that you might be able to help me with my Melnor watering timers that I have set-up at my house. I’ve been using them for the last 2 years without any issues. Then this year after I set them up they would only work on the “automatic” setting if I scheduled them to go off in the evenings vs the mornings.
They’ve now completely stopped working when I have the “automatic” timers set for the 4 stations. If I set them to go off manually they work fine without any issues. I even purchased another new timer and it’s doing the same thing. I’ve talked with a plumber and they didn’t know what would cause it. I don’t have any water pressure areas at my house.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I can’t go on vacation or leave my house because my garden needs to be watered.
