Hey folks, I was in attendance at Monday's Mayoral Debate on Housing hosted by More Homes Mississauga (Website, Twitter). I took some notes on the two candidates who participated and wanted to share them with you all here and get people's thoughts on the election and housing in our city.
* Who are you supporting in the upcoming election? How do you feel about the candidates & their platforms, housing or otherwise?
* How do you feel about housing development in Mississauga, housing & urbanism policy in the city, transit, and other related issues?
Alvin Tedjo (Full Housing Plan)

• Housing is clearly an important issue to Alvin, he spent most of his opener talking about how this was a priority for his campaign as a whole
• Middle-density housing: he wants to encourage four-plexes, low-rise apartment buildings, and allowing owners to add housing units to their properties (ex. adding a basement suite or garden suite to your home).
• Transit-enabled housing: he wants to pair home building, especially larger condo development, with appropriate transit options. This means planning housing development along GO, LRT and BRT lines, and building a "minimum viable transit network" in Mississauga
• Affordable & rental housing: promote the development of affordable and market rental housing by offering incentives to developers (i.e. reducing developer charges)
• More land for housing: removing exclusionary zoning in some neighborhoods, using municipal/provincial/federal land for housing, converting strip maps into 8-story residential+commercial buildings
• Stresses the importance of working with all levels of government to get funding & support
• Looking for efficiencies to speed up approval process: combining multiple applications into one, hiring dedicated staff to review housing development
• His record: was a vocal supported of the four-plex bill, has been active in supporting and voting in favor of new housing developments, has championed new housing developments near GO transit stations, commissioning feasibility studies for new transit development, offering discounted transit to seniors and kids, and voted to reduce parking minimums along transit lines

Dipika Damerla (Platform)

• Offered a pragmatic approach, understanding that the city is growing that we need to manage this growth effectively
• Notes that there is a lot of planned construction of housing units, but sometimes large housing developments (i.e. large condo towers) being delayed reduce the overall number, the key is to speed up approvals
• Looking for efficiencies to speed up approval process: mentioned examples of studies that can be done after initial approval to reduce duplicated work as an example of how to speed things up
• Community engagement: wants to ensure development is done in consultation with community groups (takes feedback from ratepayers associations and neighborhood associations)
• Will focus on promoting market rental housing by offering incentives to developers (i.e. reducing developer charges)
• Transit: Would encourage an extension of the Kipling subway line and other transit developments
• Her record: noted that her ward has some of the largest number of new housing developments planned. Has voted in favor of some major housing developments. Voted against the fourplex motion because she "needed more time to review". Would block the Bloor street redesign on the grounds that it is reducing car lanes to increase bike lanes and would increase traffic overall (the accuracy of this is questionable).

After spending hundreds of hours in the game I think I can confidently say I know what I wished the game did more of or better. Don't get me wrong, I love this game and I played it for so long but the more I just feel like there's more that could've been done. Dragon's dogma is the only game of it's like. Sure you can say it's similar to this and this but nothing really scratches that itch that dragons dogma does. I love a lot of the decisions they made with the game and the world but I'm not blind to it's flaws either. Most of the things I'll talk about has been said a million times but it really can't be understated how much more they could've done.
Gameplay
Like I said up in that paragraph no other game really scratches the itch that dragon's dogma does. Combat alone was a big selling point for me because where else will you get an ARPG where the combat feels nice and weighty without it being clunky and or it being too light and feeling more like a hack and slash combo game. It too me hits that perfect itch of being realistic but also fantasy. My only gripe with it is that it feels like a high fantasy game trying to be a dark fantasy game. It's more of a tone thing but in a world where people are able to cast meteors and tornados and jump 10 meters into the air and become a spinning ball of death the enemies you face are just grounded goblins and monsters. I feel like it's trying to be two things at once leading too the classes feeling just kind of mismatched. compare the gameplay of fighter to thief. Two close quarters classes and starting out they feel like they're on the same level somewhat but as you progress fighter just kind of remains the same while thief is over here causing explosions and flying around everywhere despite them starting on equal grounds. A more jarring example is mystic spearhand the "anime vocation" you can teleport around send out magic waves and stun enemies with a magic chargeable bolt. I have no problems with spear hand but to go from fighter a pretty grounded gameplay style to mystic spearhand where I feel like I'm playing DMC it's just kinda jarring. I like that the vocations feel unique don't get me wrong but it really just does feel weird to be a really normal guy swinging a sword around to teleporting everywhere and becoming invincible exploding man. Other than that I don't really have much else to say about the combat besides game difficulty really does affect combat a lot. As much as I like the combat even I can agree that it gets stale killing everything in 2-3 hits with no real danger. I still remember my first ogre fight since it was the first and only tough battle I had after that the game was a cake walk and I quickly shut my brain off for the majority of it.
Exploration
the world of dragons dogma is fucking beautiful. Sometimes I just walk around admiring the world they made, seeing the trees and grass sway with the wind as oxcarts and patrolling knights walk past. The only thing that can ruin it is oh right an enemy encounter every 3 mins. I Love the combat but fuck, combat every 3 mins when I just want to explore and see the world can get tiresome and just lessens the encounters to be mind numbing button mashing. not only does it lessen the combat system by just giving you too much of it but it ruins exploration by making the world feels smaller. The world is so fucking beautiful but if the only thing you really see or interact with is combat after combat you stop focusing on the world and you just look at the same goblins and lizards. One video I've been watching a lot is a dragons dogma 2 relaxing ambient music where they have scenes of the world just existing. You forget how beautiful the world that capcom created actually is because every 3 mins you just fight goblins. Just that open field of wheat outside of vernworth can give you like 50 beautiful screenshots of the world. I really wish there was a mod that would either lower enemy population count or get rid of half the enemy placements in the world because I really do just want to explore and take in the world. Another problem that DD2 has with exploration is that all the armors and weapons are in the shops. After realizing this halfway through the game I just lost like 50% of my desire to fully explore the game. If all the cool armor and weapons can just be bought what's the reason to explore caves and dungeons and complete quests? I get why they did this because if you're a thief and a quest reward or a random dungeon chest is a warrior armor then you pretty much just wasted time to get loot that doesn't match your vocation but having it all in the shop just ruins so much of the game's exploration and quests. Also if you want to start a new game I recommend you download a mod called "wild loot" on nexus. It takes all the items in the shops and just does what it says, places it into the wild. Whenever I found a cool new armor or weapon I'm always interested to see how big a difference it made rather than just buying the best set in the store.
World
I just wish there was more world building and lore to the world to explain stuff for those that truly want to know about the world. Like why don't we have the misty marshes be explained as "A long time ago a litch showed up and that's why theres so many undead and an uneazy fog around it" and if you keep exploring you can find out that oooooo the old villagers executed a wizard or priest for some reason and they placed a curse on the local area to be an undead area. I wish there were more biomes too, like wide open plains or snowy mountains. Imagine climbing a snowy mountain at night being lost in the snow storm only to see a bright yellow light off in the distant and seeing a tiny little cozy mountain village. seeing different architecture and culture from the giant stone fortress that is vernworth. Some kind of nordic (cheesy I know) wooden mead hall and all with people wearing heavy layering of furs of the loacal animals. Magic also just feels kinda out of place too. Maybe these ideas are cheesy but you're telling me that magic where you can summon litteral meteors wouldn't affect the world even a little bit? There wouldn't be some kind of magic school that teaches young mages to control such volatile and destructive magic? This brings me back to the whole "Low fantasy" trying to be "High fantasy" The world just needs more to feel alive. Like what if the elven village was more than just three circles connected to each other and instead you're able to walk up through mountain edges and actually see the elven houses up on the cliffs that you couldn't reach. There's dwarves in the game but they have no impact to the world at all. They don't even have their own place or history. You won't go down a cave and find yourself in a abandoned dwarven mine like moria and find a dragon hoarding a secret vault of treasures like a cool magical armor or weapon. It lack world building to add context to why the world is the way that it is. Things just are in this world. The original DD wasn't perfect but it tries to add context to the world, It really just needs to bake the world more.
Story
I'll keep this short we all know the story sucks, only thing I can say is, make the story about you and the pawn. We like our pawns more anyways. Make it about exploring what free will is and if pawns are even alive or something, just make us connect with our pawn. Add more scenes and flesh out the characters more. Just do better that's it. Also add more RPG mechanics. Honestly, just mix Bethesda rpg and dragons dogma and it's a perfect game for me.
Pawns
I love the pawn systems. I have my gripes with it but the main thing I want is for more pawn interaction. The only meaningful interaction is them showing you the way, the dap, and dual casting. Like why don't we have team attacks in in ff15? they tried to do it a bit with the ability to launch pawns but its lack luster and barely works. Imagine how cool it would be if you could coordinate with your archer pawn to launch them over the enemy and do a flip while raining arrows down on the enemy. Or if you're a sorcerer and have a warrior pawn that gives you a cool fist bump before taking a giant swing at a charging minotaur causing it to fall down while you have charge up a quick magic spell for a quick follow up attack. Just more interactions would've been so cool especially in combat.
Overall I loved dragons dogma. I wished it did more but it's one of my favorite games. Wish there were more games like this.

Back again. first one got taken down for mention "another sub". Sorry, long long time lurker, hardly know how post anything at all.
Alright, with all of Roaring Kitties cryptic tweets and GIF's it's hard to make heads or tales of it all. But he did say to watch what he says closely. To look for the signs. Well the only content still pinned on Roaring Kitty's twitter is his 5 min video explaining why he saw value in GameStop, AS WELL AS, Michael Burry's Scion fund seeing the same thing and having a position in GameStop around 2%. DFV has money sure, but he doesn't have enough money or influence to move the markets in any way. But he does know that Michael Burry, being the guy who predicted the housing market collapse and coming away with a lot of money from it, might be someone to watch and ride their coat tails so to speak.
So with that, I'm going to dive down that rabbit hole and see what I can find, and report back here. If anyone else wants to look as well and add their findings that would be awesome!
Kansas City Shuffle/Closing the door on "blonde boy" Meme -
I found this letter from 2019 to GME management from Michael Burry's Scion fund. It's a quick read, check it out. The main points are talking about a share buyback when they had $237M for a buyback and how Burry thought that would be the most beneficial thing for shareholders. He also specifically talks about the extreme trading volume being equal to float over the course of a MONTH. He thought that was insane, now were trading the float in mere day(s). He was also interested in the short interest being at 63% in July that year. While high, is not nearly as high as we've seen it before. He goes on to complain about management (This was before R. Cohen came in JUNE of 2021).
So tin foil brain storm session based off that real quick. DFV telling us to look for signs. Has his video pinned, mentions Burry and his Scion fund. He also said watch what he says carefully and pay attention, and mentions the Kansas City Shuffle. Then the sicario meme about to execute "blonde hair boy". I think he might be alluding to Burry being a player behind this, or at least that maybe Burry knows something and has been setting up for this move as well. Or that Burry's original message and plan from this letter was sound. More importantly though, I think DFV is giving the middle finger to "blonde hair boy" because of all their distracting talking about some other stupid ticker because of insane short interest numbers right now. But if we've all been watching carefully, we know that those SI% numbers are basically meaningless, if the market makers want them to be. And after the 2021 sneeze, MM's notice the habits of us apes at the time. They realized that high SI numbers make our mouths water. Especially on stocks that are pennies on the dollar. But THAT is the Kansas City Shuffle! As someone expanded on in a different post, the KC Shuffle has the three parts, of knowing its a con, trying to beat the con, which ultimately makes the victim fall for the con. Strong Paraphrasing there. But the idea is, us APE's know were in a conned/rigged market, the MM know that we know. So we think we've found the key, the secret. Screwing shorts is our game now right? " Fine fine, that's cool" says the market maker, "how bout you go look at this tasty 90% SI stock over here then." Ape's being regarded, some will get distracted. With the amount of just BS noise surrounding RK's tweets and all over the place brought about the "so they want to be Sicario's" tweet. - Basically, he's saying ignore the noise, don't be distracted with "tasty" looking numbers. Look at GME, focus on GME, watch for the signs, HOLD.
Extra box of tin foil coming out - RC joined the team as chairman in JUNE of 2021. Almost exactly 3 years ago. Now I really don't know much here, but I know there's vestment periods for CEO's and board members of companies. Wouldn't it be something if there was a very long vestment period of 3 years for a very large position RC could take. Granted, again, IDK much about how vested vs nonvested shares work in the actual scheme of things. Just an interesting thought.
I'm Holding, and Holding Strong!

Out of curiosity, I disassembled the DM-1 battery to see how much space it had inside. It had a little bit.
Out of curitosity, I disassembled an old UV-5R craddle charger to see how big the charging board was. It was pretty small.
Out of curiosity, I looked through Aliexpress for a minuscule USB-C PD 9V board. It was pretty cheap.
I cobbled them all together inside the DM-1 battery, and now it's an USB-C rechargeable battery. The original pins still work for the original craddle (which has a very big board, with very sparcely placed components).
I am very, VERY sorry for not taking pictures of the process, for whoever's interested.
But the USB-C PD board looks like this, and the charger board looked kinda like this (this one is actually not like mine but seems to have all the guts in the same place. Mine had a big cutout near the DC jack, and it had written "A55.VER03-040415", probably made in 2015, when I bought the UV-5R. Mostly like this one but that pic is really bad)
I made a cutout to the side of the battery case for the USB-C jack, a small hole for the charging LED (I could keep it!), soldered everything correctly and hot glued everything in place.
I wonder how much it would've costed them to add this by default. I understand they're really fighting for every penny, but that's a very nice quality of life upgrade.
Disclaimer: I've just built this. I still don't know if that'll burn my house down. Everything seems to point out that it's gonna be fine. My tests showed that the board didn't heat up and that it could properly charge the battery a little, so I deemed it doable enough. I decided going with 9V because some USB-C chargers don't support 12V, and those who do, when I tested 12V charging, the IC probably reached north of 80°C in two minutes. At 9V it doesn't even warm it up. 10V buck converters were way too big to fit. Although I made it "original craddle compatible", I still don't know if that backfeed into the USB-C PD board will cause damages. Chances are I'll never use the craddle again, so I don't really care. I will report back if it blows up or catches on fire. If I don't report back, it's all fine and dandy. Unless I died in the fire. Check my Reddit activity to see if I did. If you ever do this, do at your own risk.

While the dust settles on the Hack job, I have a question. I'm new, so bear with my simple questions.
I have Manual Staking and Auto Staking. On the Manual staking I just did it 2 days ago so I haven't harvested anything yet. Who knows when it will be open again.
On Auto Staking, I've had it in there into my 4th cycle. The amount I staked is the same and every cycle (+- 3.5 days) It's still the same. Never adds onto it. Where are the "Rewards" ? Does it just add to it when you SWAP out the tokens when you decide to be done ? I'm just not sure how to know how much I've earned.

Hey guys, I’m currently a rising senior at a non-target school (not a no-name however) studying Economics and I have no internship for the summer, probably will be bar-backing or serving in a restaurant. My freshman year was subpar and since then I’ve been working extremely hard on fixing my GPA which is now at a 3.14, gotten all As and Bs since freshman year. I sent out over 200 internship apps this past year and got some interviews but was unable to land anything for this summer. While I don’t have internship experience I’m a member of my schools investment fund (E-Board member and senior analyst) and I plan on joining another club related to finance next semester to add to my resume. My goal is to work in wealth management, S&T or an equity research role post-grad, but I’m also not super picky on what role I get out of college considering my situation with no professional work experience.
My question is, how badly will my lack of internships and a lower GPA impact me going forward? Is an investment fund enough to show employers that I am experienced in finance to some degree? The job market is super competitive right now and I’m concerned that I’ll be searching for jobs post-grad for longer than I would prefer. Im looking for any advice on what to do moving forward to stand out amongst my peers and fellow applicants. I’ve recently been growing my network of alumni and other people I know working in finance, some at big banks some at smaller companies as I am aware finance is huge on networking and “who you know.” Should I apply for 2025 internships and delay my graduation a semester if I land a significantly good role? Will an unpaid research position for this summer be relevant on my resume going forward?
Any general advice moving forward is greatly appreciated!!
TLDR: Econ rising senior with no internships thus far with school investment fund experience looking for advice in getting internships or full time roles post-grad

if you didn't know yet this is what happened:
pump fun was hacked for more than 80M USD.
remember to disconnect wallet and stay safe.
this a thread where the hacker explains what he did and also talks about doing a free airdrop to some solana communities: https://x.com/STACCoverflow/status/1791134470071865576
anyways, if you still want to launch tokens (meme coin season is still on even the hack happened) the current best option is Smithii Tools.
Devs are doxxed, they have been active for a year and they have +200 users per day (you can check their info on dapp radar)
the price for creating a token is 0.1 sol and you can also make some other stuff on their site like revoke authorities, create liquidity pool, make airdrops, etc.
here is a video on how to launch a token on solana from scratch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdlUfZe1XJQ&pp=ygUVY3JlYXRlIGxpcXVpZGl0eSBwb29s
this is a proof on how web3 works, always remember to be safe.

Idk if anyone can help me or give me advice (as there is no precedent for it before), but I have some questions about the potential TikTok ban in the US. I planned to start posting consistently on TikTok this year, but that seems to be a lost cause when it has the potential to be banned. The questions I have are:

1. The research I’ve done seems to say monetization on Instagram reels is worse than TikTok creator’s fund, is that true?
2. I’ve also read that some experts say that ByteDance’s countersuit to the bill could make the bill be stuck in the court system for years, how true is that?
3. Would it be best to post on TikTok this year (maybe until October) and then add Instagram reels as another platform after this month? Then slowly transfer over to Reels if it seems that TikTok will be banned. Or should I post on both platforms now?

It may be easier to gain a following on TikTok than on Instagram reels because the algorithm seems easier… I would post on both platforms, but I feel that isn’t the smartest decision when first starting. I could be wrong about that tho. What do y’all think?

Anyone know how to get into Climate Pledge Pearl Jam concert without original ticket purchaser present? Here’s my scenario.
Friend bought us 2 tix but now he can’t go. He gave me his Ticketmaster userid and password and I signed in to Ticketmaster app as him and added tickets to my iPhone wallet. But wallet later gave me an error message on the tickets saying ”Pass Disabled. This pass is associated with a different Apple ID. Contact Ticketmaster to resolve.”
I take this to mean the Apple ID on the iPhone used to purchase the tickets must match the Apple ID on the phone where the tix are added to the wallet. Yikes.
Ticket details in the TM app won’t show a barcode and say “Add tickets to wallet for entry to show.”
Anyone else seeing same behavior? I thought knowing purchasers TM user ID and password would be enough, but not looking like it.
Anyway around this? Bring purchasers phone with me to the show? Sign his Apple ID into my / a third iPhone and try to add to wallet?

Okay, i know how this might sound but the proof is in the pudding! So here it is!
In the first movie when Hammond meets Dr, Grant and Dr. Sattler their trailer is full of newspapers/headlines and articles about dinosaurs AND aliens/space!!! There's atleast 2 partially obscured headlines about dinosaurs on Mars, but the big one is front and center plain as day on their fridge stating in big bold letters "Space Aliens Stole My Face"
Now at first i aswell as anyone else ive found discussing this just brushed it off as a Spielberg thing potentially refrencing another of his movies, this wouldnt be the first time. But the alien stuff is specifically also about dinosaurs, this isnt a coincidence however this is where evidence from the movie ends.
But the real world is where things get interesting. So its no secret Spielberg and Crichton have been friends for decades and worked on the JP movies together (duh), but the interesting point here is the dates of the books and movies. The first book came out in 1990 and the first movie came out in 93, but the second book didnt come out until 95 followed by its cinematic counterpart 2 years later, that meams there was plenty of time for rewrites while Spielberg got more involved with the script and story.
So what i think happened is Crichton had this alien angle figured out from the start, its no secret the original concept for the second and third installments was about human-dino hybrids which they thankfully dropped in favor of a more grounded and coherant narrative focusing on the humanity of the story with the hybrid concept evolving its way into the JW series instead. But not before they already made the first movie dropping the alien hints, i mean this almost makes too much sense when we put all these pieces together.
So here is my recreation of the originally intended Jurassic Park lore.
So the aliens were behind it all, and the reason being is the same reason we see highlighted in Jurassic World, genetic power, aka the most powerfull weapon to ever exist.
So the aliens inflitrate Earth taking the classic body snatcher route perhaps even taking Hammond and almost certainly someone like Dr. Henry Wu. All this in the effort to weaponize not just humans and dinos, but life on Earth itself, our very biology.
As Vic Hoskins put it and im paraphrasing "they can't be hacked, they can't be tracked and they have 65 million years of instinct we can train" Almost sounds like something an alien would say eh?
Now there is litterally no end to the points and conclusions i could draw here but the more i think about it the more sense this makes!
But here is one angle i really like to imagine would have been touched on, that being the common gripe of extracting ancient DNA being impossible. It would be much more realistic if these aliens already had DNA from our ancient past using the amber angle as more of a cover.
Also human inteligence could have played a part, we know how dinos are quite uncontrollable, especially engineered ones like the Indominous Rex.
But humans on the other hand... Maybe this was meant to be more of an uplifting rather than an enslavement...
Anyways this has been a blast putting together and if anyone has anything to add or subtract please leave it! Also if anyone knows of any other posts or videos discussing this theory please point me in the direction, as i said the most ive found is people just dismissing Hammonds intro scene.
I just watched the movie but i couldnt wait to read the book before posting this so hopefully it gives me plenty of reasons to return and expand this!

Sure cleaning's a chore, but it doesn't have to be terrible. Here are some of the best life hacks for cleaning. Try them, and you just might have a little fun!

• Goodbye Fruit Flies: To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it a quarter of the way with Apple Cider Vinegar and two drops of dishwashing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever. Can we get a hallelujah?!
• Vacuum Hard-to-Reach Places: Need to get something out of a heat register or under the fridge? Add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum attachment. It can bend or flatten to fit in narrow openings.
• Remove Duct Tape Adhesive: That sticky film is the worst, right? Don't worry! Rub a little WD-40 or lighter fluid on it, then gently rub it away.
• Clean Your Microwave – Mix one cup of water, ¼ cup vinegar, and the juice from half a lemon in a microwave-safe container. Microwave until the window steams up, then wipe away any residue.
• Wash Your Dryer Filter: Yeah, we didn't know this was a thing either! You know those dryer sheets that smell so good? Well, they cause an invisible film to form on your dyer filter, which can cut the life of your dryer in half. Take your filter out and wash it with hot, soapy water and an old toothbrush at least every six months.

Apologies if i have posted in a wrong thread not sure what else to do.
Hey everyone. so i recently moved to denmark and been using Lunar bank as i did not have a chance to setup a proper bank account from get go, which i have done now.
About 3 weeks ago Money was spent from my account in Copenhagen, although i live in Aarhus. i called the bank right away, followed the steps (close bank account, change MitID etc. ) Filed a police report, filled out they dispute.
They got back to me saying i am at fault, and since the amount is below 8K they are not required to pay me. Now i moved from London where scams are part of daily life. I found it odd you have to write your address on CV, cause that is something we dont give out lightly let alone share bank details. This is what they sent me after i asked how they reached their conclusion so fast.
The transactions have been approved with ApplePay, where personal security measures have been used. You explain that you have not carried out the transactions yourself, which means your card must therefore be connected to another device. A payment card can be linked to a new wallet on a new device in two different ways.

1. Via the Lunar Bank app, where you log in to your bank app, either with MitID, Biometric login or by entering your 4-digit code. Inside the Lunar Bank app, you will be able to press a button under the card section, which adds the card to the device you are logged in with. When this happens, you will be asked to enter the code for your phone to confirm the connection to the wallet.
2. You enter card information in your wallet app on your phone, after which you will receive an activation code via SMS, which must verify that you want to connect your card to a wallet.

I have Lunar on my personal apple wallet, but how that translate to another device i do not understand. i have not given anyone my details. Have never been to Copenhagen. I feel stuck, i lost 4k they used it in 7/11 at DSB Copenhagen at 10pm.
What can i do? Is this a hard lesson learned and move on or can i fight this? Would appreciate any advice. I have already opened an account at Dansk Bank.

No, Huobi is not a wallet in the traditional sense. Instead, it's a cryptocurrency exchange platform that allows users to trade various digital assets. While some exchanges offer wallet services as part of their platform, Huobi primarily focuses on facilitating the buying, selling, and trading of cryptocurrencies.
A wallet, on the other hand, is a software program or a physical device that allows users to securely store their digital currencies. It's essentially a tool for managing private keys, which are needed to access and control one's cryptocurrency holdings. Wallets come in different forms, such as desktop wallets, mobile wallets, hardware wallets, and paper wallets, each offering varying levels of security and convenience.
Huobi does provide users with online wallets for storing their assets within the exchange platform. However, it's generally recommended to store cryptocurrencies in a private wallet that the user controls directly. This gives the user full control over their funds and reduces the risk of loss due to exchange hacks or other security breaches.
In summary, while Huobi offers wallet services within its platform, it is primarily an exchange and not a standalone wallet service provider. Users looking for secure storage of their cryptocurrencies should consider using dedicated wallet solutions designed specifically for that purpose.

How Do You Create An Online Digital Diary With Journey?

hu,

Hey is there a way to put custom thumbnails for games? I have a hacked Pokémon rom I want to add a thumbnail to just can’t figure out how to do it. Thanks!

In this post I want to discuss alternatives to the CoinBase CEX. It seems like there’s a rampant issue on CoinBase regarding random account locks and I’m not sure why. This gives FTX vibes.
I know about other Exchanges like Kraken which have good customer support, but the issue is no matter what CEX you use, they can all Account Lock for any arbitrary reason.
This leads me to dive into more decentralized strategies, like using a wallet to store our crypto and trading on DEX’s like PancakeSwap, or Uniswap, which can’t Account Lock.
To transfer back to the bank account, we could do it a bit at a time within the CEX to not risk large sums, use CoinBase credit card or P2P
The stock world has been dealing with this for years and doesn’t have the decentralized options that crypto has, how do you think the big investors like Warren Buffet managed to not be afraid of account locks despite having billions?
Could it be possible that people are blowing this out of proportion and not telling the whole truth? That the only voices that want to be heard are the account locked voices and so creating FUD where there is none?
——————————————————
TLTR So, in a nutshell:
What are some alternative Exchanges to Coinbase you know about?
Are any of these a DEX that can’t freeze funds?
What strategies can we implement to minimize any chance of account locks yet still trading the Crypto we know and love?
How can we transfer our fiat back to the bank while minimizing chance of account locks?
Do you think there’s something worse happening in the shadows of Coinbase leading to an FTX situation or is this how all CEX are?
Even CEX outside of crypto within the stock world have similar problems. If everyone is getting account freezed at random then how are big investors such as Warren Buffet not afraid of having their billions of dollars frozen?
Could it be that most people are doing fine on CoinBase, and the only reason this is a rampant issue is because the only voices that want to be heard are the few that have had account locks, but in reality it’s a non-issue?

Starting Location: Opening Event
Alternate Characters: N/A
Bio:
Born in the year 4BC, Tessario was the son of a Lyseni courtesan and a nobleman of the Old Blood who had left for the Black Walls of Volantis before he even knew of the child.
Growing up in Lys, Tessario was raised by his mother in a small manse where she would teach him lessons learnt from the courts of the free city.
Since his mother first spoke to him tales of Valyria and dragon riders, Tessario was enthralled.
His bloodline was of the forty families, from one of the few dragonlords on Lys during the 'Night of Tears', when the dragonlords had been poisoned and their dragons slain by their very hosts - the magisters. That the dragon rider had been his ancestor was his family's deepest secret and one that could have seen them killed in generations past.
The knowledge that the dragon riders of old were his very ancestors was almost too much for the young boy to keep secret. Especially now, when dragons had waged conquest on Westeros' shores so recently. But while the Targaryen's were said to wed brother to sister to keep their bond with the dragons strong, his family had not had a dragon rider in five generations. Since then his family's bloodline - the house of Altaerys, thought lost in the Doom of Valyria and the Century of Blood since, had become clouded with the Old Blood of Volantis during their occupation of Lys. And before that, diluted among the courts of Lys the Lovely, where none truly knew or at least none spoke of how much dragon blood they had. It was clear most of Lys had some. The features of silver-blond or white hair and the eyes of pale blue or shades of purple were all too common. The city was truly Valyrian. Who knew how many dragonlords' legacies his blood carried now?
Tessario, with his pure Valyrian blood and features to match, had the fiery will of his ancestors but an uncommonly pragmatic mind. As he grew, so did his keen mind, picking up his numbers and letters faster than other boys his age.
Raised in the turbulence of a city still reeling from the uprising against Volantis, Tessario learnt how violent people could be at a young age. Surrounded by the cruelties of slavery, he grew up numbed to the hardships of others.
By nine name-days he would begin visiting the Temple of Trade where he and other boys would talk with the magisters and tradesmen who congregated there. From among these wealthy and noble men of the city, he and a lucky few others, would gain apprenticeships; a position that was highly coveted in the city of Lys, where trade was considered a profession more honorable than arms.
Tessario shadowed his sponsor for three years, learning the inner workings of trade negotiations, currency exchange, and contract creation. He met several other apprentices who like him hungered for more, as well as making friends among the less prominent families of Lys all too keen to climb the social ladder. So, when his apprenticeship was over they formed a merchantile group of ambitious youths. Tessario and the others began with insurance cons and profitable arbitrage that filled their pockets and funded bigger schemes.
The war in the Stepstones came as a wondrous opportunity for the newly founded group. The members invested heavily, with some overseeing the battles themselves. Luckily the Lysene forces met up with not only those of Tyrosh, but also ships from Dorne and the Stormlands. Tessario wore armour for the first time as he sailed sellswords to the fighting, though did no more than watch in actuality. War made them rich and for the first time in his life Tessario knew what it was to wield true power. The power to make others die for your ends.
The pirate threat crumbled easily, but the true prizes were had after the fighting. Contracts for trade opened up and new ports to invest in saw the merchantile group grow faster than ever before. They hired lingering hedge knights and sellswords to protect their assets and even convinced some of the former pirate vessels to become corsairs under them.
As the Stepstones begin to flourish, the group started to look further afield for other trade routes. In 18AC, just as Dorne began to invest heavily in Sunstone, Tessario sailed to Driftmark as one of three emissaries of their group tasked with finding new avenues for profit. It was while on this mission that Tessario first met Valarr Velaryon, Lord of the Tides. Seeking a base of operations outside of Lys, Tessario negotiated plans for a bank to be built in Spicetown, profiting from the flow of trade.
Tessario broached the concept to the group telling them of the pearls found by fishermen in the pools of the island's coves and a contract for the Pearl Bank was drawn up. Tessario, as one of the two-and-twenty key holders, was now responsible for much.
Construction began in late 19AC with a main building that was reinforced with strong stone and deep vaults. Pearl farms under the control of the bank were also created, with construction of the entire project finishing before the end of 24AC. During this time the bank engaged in numerous amounts of trade, amassing a full vault, as well as funding loans to the many growing businesses of Spicetown, merchants of the free cities, and other Houses of Westeros. This includes House Massey of Stonedance, House Celtigar of Claw Isle, and many other minor houses.

So I've been trying to get good accurate-ish reflections for my game, but everything hates me and nothing works well. I've tried SDFGI, but it's just a blobby mess no matter what. Then I tried VoxelGI, which works VERY well and I'm happy with the results... in terms of accuracy. In terms of performance? I went from 170 fps to 55. Yeah, No thanks. Setting the subdiv to 64 would still have terrible performance, and it didn't even look good. Then I tried a reflectionprobe, and I don't really understand what they're meant to do. I understand that they're cheap reflections, but everywhere I look says they're also accurate, but they're anything but accurate. I tried teleporting the reflectionprobe to the player but that was a little too hacked together and didn't work well either way, it was too choppy. How should I add reflections? As of now, every shiny surface can only reflect the sky which isn't great.
