Info: my graduate stipend is 2500$ a month after taxes. The cost of living in the city is very low compared to others. I will not be using a car, public transit is free for students, and I am on my dads health insurance plan so those costs are unnecessary. I will know more about my housing when I actually secure an apartment but I am looking at places that are 600-900 a month. Is this sustainable?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Providers like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Sling TV, and fuboTV often carry channels that broadcast golf tournaments, including the PGA Championship. These services typically offer free trials, allowing you to test them out before committing.
Thirdly, explore network-specific apps. Channels like NBC Sports, CBS Sports, and ESPN frequently offer live streaming through their apps or websites. If the PGA Championship is airing on one of these networks, you may be able to watch it without cable by logging in with your internet service provider credentials.
If you're in an area with good reception, you might also try using a digital antenna to pick up local channels broadcasting the tournament. This can provide a free option for watching the PGA Championship without cable.
Stream the PGA Championship on Paramount+
For streaming the PGA Championship coverage on CBS, you'll need the Paramount+ with Showtime tier, available for $12. The subscription is ad-free and includes live access to your local CBS channel.
In addition to sporting events like the PGA Championship, March Madness, Premier League and Champions League games, Paramount+ offers a host of other hit shows, new and classic movies and live sporting events. Unlike a lot of other streaming services these days, Paramount+ still offers a one-week free trial — so new subscribers can sign up to watch the tournament this weekend and check out the rest of the Paramount+ library totally free for seven days.

A $5.99/month ad-supported Peacock subscription lets you stream live sports and events airing on NBC and thousands of hours of shows and movies, including beloved sitcoms such as Parks and Recreation and The Office and even recent theatrical releases.
Or for $12 monthly, you can upgrade to an ad-free subscription which includes live access to your local NBC affiliate (not just during designated sports and events) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline.
Is Tiger Woods Playing in the PGA Championship?
It's hard to say Tiger is guaranteed to play due to the injuries he's been battling over the past few years. However, the 15-time major champ has confirmed he's going to take a crack at the 2024 PGA Championship. Tiger was recently spotted practicing at Valhalla course and has told several outlets be plans to participate. Woods has won the PGA Championship four times in his career (the last time he won was in 2007). The 48-year-old is not expected to take the trophy this year but will no doubt be one of the biggest names to watch.
How to Watch PGA Championship Live Stream in The US
Golf fans in the US can watch PGA Championship live streams on ESPN and CBS. ESPN has coverage of all four days, while CBS will broadcast Saturday's third round and Sunday's final round.
No cable? No problem. Try a cord-cutting service like Sling or Fubo to watch the golf. There are no long contracts with these services, so you can try them and cancel whenever you've had enough. Fubo has the advantage of including both ESPN and CBS (as well as NBC's Golf Channel) in its $79.99/month Pro package – alongside 178 other channels.
The ESPN Plus streaming service will also host live coverage of the 2024 PGA Championship across all four days. A subscription costs $10.99/month or $109.99 annually. And you can watch CBS's coverage of the 2024 PGA Championship on the Paramount Plus streaming service. You'll need a Paramount Plus with Showtime subscription to watch the CBS Sports live stream. That will set you back $11.99/month or $119.99/year.

Hello Reddit,
I'm currently working on designing a table lamp with a cast-material base, which will likely be made of concrete or plaster. I'm planning to incorporate a push-button to control the lamp, and I'm considering using a plunger mechanism that will activate an electronic button inside the base.
I want the push-button to be aesthetically pleasing and functional, so I might need to design the button myself and possibly integrate it with an off-the-shelf plunger mechanism. To keep costs low, I'm looking for recommendations on where to find suitable plunger mechanisms or switches.
Specifically, I'm looking for:

• Push-button switches or plunger actuators that are easy to integrate into a thick-walled base
• Recommendations for off-the-shelf components that have been reliable in your projects
• Advice on mounting and integrating these components into the lamp base

Any tips on where to purchase these components (online or in-store) and any specific product recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I'm sbergs, you may know me from such previous meta-destroying Gnoll decks as Mine Rogue. I have just under 15,000 Rogue wins, which makes me roughly 1/3 as good a player as JAlex. After not playing Wild all season, with the release of the mini-set I took Gnoll Miracle Rogue from Bronze all the way to #20 Legend, at about 68% WR. I had about 90% WR (30-3) against Questline Warlock - this deck completely farms that matchup.
[mods, i'll edit in exact WR stats when I'm able to get to my Firestone later]
Twisted Pack is an incredibly strong card in the Wild Format. I'd probably put it at the second strongest card in the miniset, behind Mass Production.
The cards it generates are, of course, garbage. Occasionally you'll get a super highroll, but most of the time you get a smattering of unplayable cards from Wild's 10 years of sets.
But the Pack has insane synergy with four Wild-exclusive cards - Secret Passage, Finley Sea Guide, Wildpaw Gnoll, and Obsidian Shard.
.
Secret Passage actually removes the discard tag from the temporary cards generated by Pack. This means if you play Pack into Passage, after the end of turn you permanently keep the cards.
Finley then lets you flip all your garbage burgle cards into cards from your deck. You can do this on the same turn, or you can preserve the cards with Passage and draw into Finley on a later turn.
This means an early Pack / Finley not only massively increases your handsize, but (including your opener) allows you to see roughly half of the cards in your deck within the first couple turns.
The Pack, of course, adds 5 non-Rogue cards to your hand - so it instantly sets the cost of Wildpaw Gnoll and Obsidian Shard to 0. This, coupled with the ability to see 50% of your deck, lets you drop Gnolls and equip the Shard on turn 1.
Gnolls don't necessarily carry the game on their own, but they're a huge help vs. aggro decks, and the chip damage can help contribute to your rapid kill using an Obsidian Shards buffed with up to 3 Harmonic Hip-Hops (using Shadow of Demise).
I initially tried the Velarok tempo decks similar to the ones that were played back when Shell Game was printed, and they're alright. However I don't think they fully leverage the Finley/Pack synergy.
Similarly I've seen builds using Toy Boat and Pirates, partially to take advantage of the Treasure Distributor opener. I think these are decent as well, but I think in both cases its resulting in a mulligan trap.
You're inclined to hold things like Velarok and 1-drop pirates in your opening hand - when really you should be hard mulliganing for Twisted Pack, Finley, and Secret Passage. The explosiveness of your opener is heavily dependent on finding Pack, along with an ability to preserve it and use it to dig into your deck.
I quickly found that playing a Miracle Build worked incredibly well with the new combo. The huge draw from Pack / Finley finding you cheap spells/draw lets you get Arcane Giants down incredibly early. Turn 2 if you're lucky, turn 3/4 regularly.
I can't say with complete certainty that its faster than the traditional Miracle Giants build, but its on par at least, and has the added benefit of Gnoll anti-aggro and Shard face pressure.
I'm not gonna write up a full guide on Miracle Rogue, I'm sure there are decent ones out there. I'll mainly look at the ways this deck differs, mostly in the first couple turns.

• First, mulligan discipline. This is definitely a highroll deck, which means you need to aggressively hunt for that highroll - Twisted Pack, Finley, Secret Passage. Keeping Gnolls is OK, but mathematically its a marginal misplay that results in a 2% less chance at highroll. If you do hit the Pack / Finley highroll, you're reasonably likely to see Gnoll / Shard either before the flip or after.
• I generally will not open the Pack until I have Finley/Passage, unless absolutely necessary to get a Gnoll on board. You may draw into the second half of your combo on turn 2 or 3, and you can spend your first couple turns playing your draws out. However waiting beyond this is a mistake for two reasons. One, Gnolls are less impressive when played on turn 4 or beyond, they are only good when cheated early. Secondly, if your handsize is above 6 when Pack is opened, you will not get all the cards from Pack - which only matters in that they do not set Gnolls to 0. You can mitigate this by spending Preps/Coins, or by playing a combo draw like Ghostly without comboing.
• If you don't hit the Pack / Finley / Passage within the first 3 turns, sorry about your lowroll. You can try and dig as aggressively as possible but if both Packs are in the bottom half its hard for the deck to accomplish its plan. You may be able to do just normal Miracle Rogue things, play out all your cantrips and try and shoot for turn 4 giants.
• If you have Passage but not Pack, I would try for Pack (or Gear Shift / Finley) with a turn 2 Passage. If you have other playable draw for turn 2 you can do this on 3 instead. A quick note about a Pack during the Passage - the pack discard happens after the Passage return. This means that if your hand was full before the Passage, you will only get back the leftmost cards from your original hand, and the remainder will be burned.
• Another note about this deck's card draw - the tutor effects are good before the Finley flip, but they will pull Burgle cards after the flip. Your Swindle won't necessarily hit your Giants/Gnolls once you've shuffled in 5 cards from your Pack. Also any shuffle effect (Gear Shift, Passage) will dislodge the Burgle cards from bottom deck, meaning you'll start topdecking them. Whether this is good or bad depends on your Pack luck, but I'd say in general you'd prefer to have the Giants.

Why not...

• Velarok? Velarok is fine, my problem was that he doesn't synergize super well with Pack (you need to actually play a card from Pack, and you may not hit anything decent) and playing additional Burgle generation just to enable Velarok weakened the deck. A lot of the Velarok enablers that are good in Standard like Kajamite have a significantly weaker pool in Wild.
• Shell Game? I've actually considered this, and it could be correct to swap a cantrip for it. I may give this some testing later. It would offer an alternative both to getting Gnolls/Shard online, and generating handsize into a Finley swap. Otherwise the cards it generates are underwhelming, and cheap spells are better for Giants.
• Zephrys? My problem with this is that this deck doesn't actually draw faster than regular Miracle Rogue - rather you're using a handswap to inflate your handsize, but the number of cards remaining in deck stays the same. This means you're hitting bottom deck slower than older Miracle Rogue builds, and so Zephrys may be slower to come online.
• Loatheb? I don't think its needed for anything except maybe the mirror? Or if the Mage builds become popular. Generally I think keeping minion count low is best, at least prior to the Finley flip. This deck mostly wants to win way before Loatheb would ever come down.
• Prize Plunderer / Pirate package? Not necessary I think, best to focus on primary Gnoll / Giant gameplan.
• Vendetta? Solid card, could be a meta call depending on the amount of aggro you're seeing. However with Pack as the only real burgle generation, its not frequently active, so it only increases your dependency on Pack. A more burgle-heavy build might get more mileage.

I am part of an HOA, one of our units sustained significant fire damage and we are considering our options. One such option is demoing the unit and selling the land. That plus the insurance payout should minimize the actual loss.
But taking part in land transactions is something I have never done, since those costs are much much less than a house where I am (land seems to go for anywhere from 15k-70k here), but it seems like it would be near the same amount of work to sell it as a house, and commissions are percentage based. Then why would a real estate agent ever accept trying to sell a lot of land when the commissions would be so low to a house?
Or is there some other process? Can you sell land without a realtor? Are the only closing costs associated with transferring the title then?

What's the Boxing Network to watch 'Fury feat Usyk' live fRee PPV streams? Is Fury v Usyk off off? Any Pre-Sale for 'Oleksandr Usyk versus Tyson Fury' live PPV at low cost? ESPN, ABC or Boxing Network. I'm sure you can stream as well as way to watch it but I want to see what you guys recommend.

Hi guys, i will be in Vegas following week and would like to watch Fury Usyk boxing match. Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk, Tale of the tape.
I know all the press releases say 'to be rescheduled' but how likely actually is that? If it doesn't happen in February it's going to have to be after Ramadan (if it stays in Saudi). That then brings the IBF mandatory into play. The IBF have said the winner has to fight Hrgovic, but they won't wait forever. They've shown with Opetaia they don't budge. Do they want to make this fight without Undisputed on the line?
I remember that a poll asking this question was on the main page of this subreddit a few months ago. I am however curious if the recent events and the drawn-out negotiations have changed the subreddit's opinion or not. So who will be victorious in this boxing match if it were to take take place?
It also begs the question of why wasn't Hrgovic on the undercard for this fight in case there was an injury? If it saves the event I'd be happy with either Fury or Usyk vs Hrgovic. It might mean Undisputed looks a little different in summer, but we'd still get an undisputed fight. I would have been happy to see something like Hrgovic vs Lerena or (Luis) Ortiz as the co-main event.

Hello everyone! I am currently using Apex Hosting for a heavily modded (~220) minecraft server using the 4gb server profile. Trust me, I know this isn't the best as ive recently added more mods which simply does not work for that ram usage. I COULD spend more monthly for a higher ram usage profile, but the cost increase + other issues with file editing, I decided i'd prefer to just build my own pc to run the server.
I looked around and heard HP Prodesks were being used, but quickly learned they are mainly for simple servers. So, i am looking to instead build my own..
I have history building my own pc, infact my current pc was built just last year in november. I'm looking for advice at cpu/mobo combos that would de well for a simple server pc. I have no alegence to amd or intel, however I do have my old Ryzen 5 2600 cpu, which is prob not up to the task, but im not too knowledged in minecraft servers.
I mainly want a strong cpu that is efficient at low wattages while also being strong enough for huge modpacks. I'd like to keep the size of the pc to a minimum, using a micro ATX to a ITX case. I'd use 16gb of ram and preferably use an m.2 nvme ssd. Mobo doesnt need wifi or bluetooth, just enough for the rest mentioned. For budget, don't have a real one, but id prefer to not buy a fancy super new cpu or motherboard just for a server pc. Any sort of guidance would be appreciated!

I’ve been spinning in circles trying to find the best breed for us. The short intro: my son really wants/needs an emotional support animal to help him cope with severe anxiety by having a calm friend to sit with. But we are also an active, busy family that wants a fun friend that is not too much work or that costs a ton for grooming.
1) Will this be your first dog? If not, what experience do you have owning/training dogs?
This will be our family’s first dog. My wife grew up with dogs in her home.
2) Do you have a preference for rescuing a dog vs. going through a reputable breeder?
No preference, but looking for an adult dog that is already somewhat well behaved.
3) Describe your ideal dog.
A dog that can primarily be a companion for my so , but also an active friend for the whole family. We are busy and don’t have a lot of extra money, so we are trying to avoid a dog that requires extensive grooming or high cost professional grooming every month.
4) What breeds or types of dogs are you interested in and why?
We have considered the doodles, labs, golden retrievers, havanese. My son loves the look of Samoyeds and Bernese Mountain Dogs but recognizes they might be a good fit for us.
5) What sorts of things would you like to train your dog to do?
No extensive training other than being a calm companion for my son at times.
6) Do you want to compete with your dog in a sport (e.g. agility, obedience, rally) or use your dog for a form of work (e.g. hunting, herding, livestock guarding)? If so, how much experience do you have with this work/sport?
No

1 hour. We live near two dog parks and also like to go for walks and jogs, if the dog can handle running.
9) How much regular brushing are you willing to do? Are you open to trimming hair, cleaning ears, or doing other grooming at home? If not, would you be willing to pay a professional to do it regularly?
We can handle brushing multiple times a week. We can do basic trimming and grooming at home but would likely need a professional grooming for more extensive jobs. We are open to paying, but don’t want to have a pay hundreds a month for grooming.
Personal Preferences
10) What size dog are you looking for?
Small to medium. My wife wants a dog she can pick up if needed.
11) How much shedding, barking, and slobber can you handle?
We are open to all of these things, but would prefer as little as possible of each.
12) How important is being able to let your dog off-leash in an unfenced area?
Would be helpful, but not required.

Hi, So I've been offered a degree apprenticeship in software engineering which will be paying me 27k . I'll be living at home, cycling to work most days or taking the bus (so low transport costs), and my uni fees will be fully paid for by my employer so I wont have any student debt and won't be having much financial responsibilities except from paying for the gym and Spotify.
One part of me wants to spend the money on clothes, tech and plastic surgery but another part of me thinks I should be saving it however I don't know how to start.
Any advice?

Scene 1
You started your preparation around April 1.
You have spent several hours, if not days, accumulating resources which you plan to do. Seeing posts from different credible sources, you've carefully analyzed the general consensus on what would be the best way to preparing for JEE. You've always been proud of your ability to research things, after all.
But unfortunately you often find people contradicting each other. You're enjoying a teacher, but someone says this teacher is not enough for Advanced. You get scared and find a different teacher, but you don't like how the teacher is teaching and so on.. Maybe you currently finally found some good teachers, and are all set. You may change teachers in a week.
It is May 16 now. It has been one and a half month. Your chemistry and physics is going fine mostly, but you are slightly slacking off in Maths, but it is fine, since this is just the beginning, and you'll pull through eventually just like you did in every single class upto 10th.
There's a lot of people complaining about how people are wasting their 11th. Meh, such privileged twats, right? They had the situation entirely in their control, but they were simply lazy, and now have the AUDACITY to make such "Oh, woe is me!" posts on reddit, trying to get virtual sympathy to feel better as they most probably proceed to procrastinate again. You are probably sick of these posts.
Scene 2
It is November. Your physics is mostly going fine, but unfortunately you keep stumbling upon poorly phrased questions be JEE. You're slightly slacking off on maths and chemistry, but you'd eventually pull through, as you always did. Your marks on tests you've given till yet have been somewhat low, mostly because you haven't really been trying. They'd eventually get good though, so no worries.
You sympathize with the posts you criticized slightly more, but not much. You can atleast see how someone could potentially waste their 11th, but you have more self-control, so you won't. No need to worry.
You've realized that your initial plans of preparation were a bit too optimistic, but is fine, you've made them realistic now. If you shoot for the moon and miss, you'd still land among the stars, right? (Breaking the 4th wall but this quote makes no sense).
Scene 3
12th has started. You think your 11th was pretty weak, but is fine. One year is enough for preparation. After all, you recall the story of the one topper who only studied for 3 months and still got under 200 AIR in JEE advanced.
You think your performance in tests is great, considering you've only been using 30% of your power. But now you've realized that you need more raw hours in studying than searching for more resources. You already have enough resources, at last, though often you'd start one of them, think it is bad, and look for alternatives.
You will study atleast 8 hours everyday, and monitor weekly progess.
Scene 4
You've realised that habits that you spent the past 6 years building aren't that easy to break simply because you want to. You've realised you don't like studying, you like the idea of studying.
You've tried several ways to make you study, it simply doesn't work.
You're not addicted to instagram/reddit/youtube whatever. Even if you restrict everything you just get lost in thoughts. You're addicted to PROCRASTINATING. You're addicted to running away from anything that stresses you, because it makes you feel incompetent, even though all your past years you had been thinking otherwise.
You start to feel clueless about what do anymore, and think of those posts you saw earlier. Perhaps it is time to create one yourself.. After all it might temporarily make you feel better, as you're increasingly getting more depressed. ....
Okay, that's enough of that. You get the picture.
The point is, you're probably not special enough that you would be completely immune from something countless aspirants do. Realising this is the first step to avoiding being in this situation.
And here are some tips to avoid this:
No.
You don't need "tips". There are no secrets to get disciplined. Learning to do what you hate is an important skill, especially if you hate everything you're supposed to do and only enjoy things when you don't HAVE to do them.
And also, no. Reading this doesn't make you immune to wasting your 11th.
I wish you the best of luck.

If you imagine your ideal political platform for local politics, as in specifically Springfield, the platform that would make you go "Yes! that's the good stuff right there, this represents me", what positions would be on that platform? Like your top 3-5 or so?
I am assuming reddit will probably lean more progressive than the general population would.
For me it would probably be more or less the following:
1- Tackle the homelessness and pan handling problem with an "off the streets and into homes" approach. Pass laws to curtail pan handling and clean up homeless camps, but pair those with work programs and a dramatic expansion of shelter beds and housing. This will cost a lot of money and require tax increases. If we are gonna tell people "you cant be here pan handling" we have to be prepared to tell them "but here, go to this address and you'll get some day labor". If we are gonna go into the homeless camps and tell people "you can't live here and trash this place" we have to be able to tell them, "but here, go to this address and there is a place you and sleep and keep your stuff". Cause just telling them "you can't do this" without giving them a way to still get what they need, that accomplishes nothing.
2- Tackle affordable housing. Substantially expand programs to subsidize low income home ownership, use whatever legal or policy based options are available to inhibit or reduce the amount of low income houses that get bought up by property developers or turned into air bnbs. Substantially expand partnership with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, to buy up unoccupied derelict properties and either restore them or demolish and build new homes for low income owners.
3- Sunlight Jordan Creek and increase urban renewl/gentrification efforts of the jordan creek corridor. Many cities all over the world have had great success with renewing their old rusty decaying industrial downtowns into green spaces flanked by newer upscale housing and shopping districts. It's very expensive, but seems to be a successful recipe.
4- Be more protective of the zoning integrity of residential areas. In other words, be highly selective about allowing commercial locations to go into places previously zoned as residential. Do not court business at all costs. Do what you can to maintain the integrity and continuity of residential neighborhoods and foster neighborhood identity.
5- Attempt to draw new industry, be selective about courting new employers of already existing low wage industries that the job market is already saturated with.
All of this takes money. Money money money. So that's the hard sell. Just how much per annum is the average voter willing to give up to make this happen? That's the rub.

I am a 24 y/o who has spent my entire adult life in higher education and am only just now entering the “real world” so I don’t know anything but this is what it seems like to me…
Ok so, you buy a house in the hopes that you can sell it later in your life for a huge profit and then downsize and retire? Then you also have to be a NIMBY and join the HOA to ensure that more low cost housing isn’t built near you driving down the cost of the precious asset. Furthermore, to ensure that your home stays up with trends you have to do renovations. Maybe even hire an interior designer to curate the place that you live in into a soulless dentists office aesthetic so that it can be inoffensive and appeal to sellers.
So let’s say you do all that, right? You’ve effectively destroyed the housing market in your wake, but you’ve made it and your home has quadrupled in value. Now comes the time you’ve been preparing for years, to finally sell your property. Congratulations, you’re a millionaire! But crucially you are a homeless millionaire. Now you have to buy a new house to live in (in case you forgot that a house is necessary for survival). But uh oh… the housing market has been obliterated because everyone in your generation had the same idea that you did and you’re going to have to buy a new house that is much smaller and even more expensive than what you payed for a big house a decade or two ago.
Am I wrong to think most of your profits you would have made would just go towards paying off your new mortgage on a shittier house? The whole thing is just absurd to me.

If you're looking for Chinese dramas, please post your request at CDramaRecs, our sister subreddit exclusively created for Chinese drama recommendations.
But first, here's a quick guide on how to make the requests:

First, use the search function

Before posting your request, search Cdrama for what you're looking for.
We get a lot of "drama like" requests, especially for dramas like Hidden Love, Love Between Fairy and Devil, Till the End of the Moon.
So, search for "Dramas like [name of drama]" you will find a lot of results.
For popular dramas like these, we'd recommend that you use the search function.

Tips on writing a good drama rec request

Tip #1: Write a good title and ensure it contains your criteria
Good:

• Can you recommend me a drama to watch with my grandma?
• I need a drama that has a strong female lead, lots of good fighting scenes and gorgeous cinematography

Not great:

• Cdrama pls
• I am bored
• Xianxia recs?

Tip #2: Ensure that your body contains the following information.
Note: You do not have to list ALL of these items, but at least tell us what genre and what you are looking for. It's even more helpful if you list dramas that you've watched.
Too often, we get low effort requests where the title of the post is just "Cdramas pls" and the body text is something vague like "I need more to watch" or "I just finished watching a CDrama and want more". That's too little information for us to go by, and unfortunately, this is a favourite tactic of spammers to increase their karma, so please don't do this. Posts like these will be removed.
Please ensure your body text contains some of the following:

• Genre: Costume / Republican / Modern / Romance / Historical etc
• What criteria are you looking for? For eg: A particular plot/'something like [drama name]', trope, actoactress/couple? ("A drama starring Cheng Yi" or "A story with a Romeo & Juliet plot")
• What other elements in the drama you would like / you don't mind / you don't want at all? (For example: "No love triangles!")
• List dramas you've already watched that might fit what you're looking for so people don't recommend it again. (For example: "I've already watched Hidden Love but anything like that would be great.")
• Alternatively, list dramas that you do not want to be recommended (For eg: "But please, don't recommend me palace harem dramas like Yanxi Palace!"

Here are examples of good drama recommendation requests:

• Darker romance recommendations?
• Recommendations for Dramas with Cross Dressing Woman?
• Any recommendations of Romance C-Drama from from Male Prospective please.
• Recommendations for fun, healthy love stories

Hope it's all clear! Now, head over to CDramaRecs!

Long story short: I recently had my graduation ceremony, which made my graduation feel more official. Despite the initial happiness, i’m now experiencing a period of low mood, possibly attributed to post-graduation blues. I feel like social media might be influencing their mood, as I took a break from it but returned to share my graduation achievements. I have a strong desire to move out of their hometown and feel frustrated with my current living situation, which includes a cluttered and poorly maintained home and difficulties with food and transportation. I feel out of place in their hometown and long for independence, but the high cost of living and financial constraints make it challenging to pursue my goals, including pursuing a Master's in Public Health and finding a job in a different location.
On top of this, I’ve been dealing with credit card debt and upcoming loan repayments for their federal and private loans. I worry that my debt makes moving out seem impossible, and I question how long they can tolerate their current living situation without reliable transportation. There’s a lot of uncertainty abouty career path and finding a job that aligns with their goals and offers the necessary financial support for relocation and loan forgiveness. I feel overwhelmed by the many factors to consider and fears making the wrong decisions that could negatively impact them mentally, financially, and emotionally.
Idk what im supposed to do honestly.

I feel crazy overwhelmed, what am I even supposed to do

[Personally recommended topics to search]

• Project Astra
• Starline

[Highlights]

1. Gemini is now supporting 2M tokens

• 2. Project Astra (cell phone real-time multimodal assistant)
• 3. Gemini Flash (cheaper and faster multimodal 1M)
• 4. Veo (video creation)
• 5. 6th generation TPU (Trillium)
• 6. PaliGemma
• 7. Gemma 2
• 8. NotebookLM (aka. Tailwind)
• 9. MusicFX, VideoFX

[Personal Thoughts]

1. Google mentioned "Gemini" more often than "AI" this time.(Sundar Pichai mentioned AI 121 times.)
2. Google is focusing on integrating Gemini Multimodality across all areas, covering both recognition and generation of video, audio, and text.
3. Increasing Gemini's token size seems aimed at detailed personalized info and integrated services. This was clear in Project Astra with real-time Gemini Pro integration and Context Caching, which saves costs and speeds up processing. - Comparing Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s GPT: - Both have significant multimodal achievements. OpenAI leads in generative capabilities, while Google excels in token range. OpenAI has better API integration, but Google is superior in on-device integration. - OpenAI's massive model has high reasoning abilities, but Google's strategy includes:

3-1. On-device capabilities (Nano in Android OS, circle image search on Samsung phones, PaliGemma). Google’s mobile OS and partnerships give it an edge.
3-2. Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Email, Photos). Examples include organizing receipts in Drive and Sheets or Google Photos creating albums based on specific moments, showing the large model’s business applications.
3-3. As a search engine company, Google is developing technology to verify data with search engine data to prevent hallucinations, giving it a competitive edge.

1. The realtime capability of the multimodal model was surprising. I used the Project Astra demo; multimodal audio recognition was accurate and real-time, with seamless interrupt handling. The process wasn’t in sync but handled with low latency, showing significant improvements in usability for voice interfaces and multimodal models.
   
2. The main takeaway from this I/O was that multimodal models can be responsive enough for actual products and are currently available.
   
3. Examples were provided of how Gemini can integrate into Chrome, Search, Android Mobile, and Google Workspace to enhance user convenience. ("Here's an example" was a common phrase.) Integrating these elements with multimodal capabilities could significantly change everyday life. I have a Gemini Office Hour with a Googler tomorrow, full of questions about Gemini’s multimodal latency. Until 2 PM during this event, I didn't hear keywords like TensorFlow/Jax, and there was little talk about the Cloud. Vertex AI was mentioned occasionally with Gemini, and the rest was about TPU 6th generation.
   
4. The core question was whether multimodal models could positively impact our lives. Even now, there are no significant use cases beyond chatbots. Who will make this a reality? This has been my interest, and at this I/O, I saw numerous examples. If Google had integrated chat and document apps, we’d spend most of our time with Gemini. For code, it seems to be entering with Project IDX, sharing portions of the IDE.
   

I am renting a bedroom in my state of residence (Oh) from a family member, so the cost is very low during traveling.
Currently I am not living in that room so when I’m not working I don’t know if I should be paying or not, as I will be off and not making the tax free stipends that come with travel.
I’m actually living in a completely other state (Co) for the time off temporarily just for leisure. Should I pay my expenses to the people in this state (CO) or continue paying my tax home (OH)?
Advice or resources needed. Thank you in advance

Hey y'all I'm trying to get back into magic, I have a deck still I made it when I was a like 11, it is from the amokeht and Ixalan/ rivals of Ixalan. Any resources on how I can affordably (as low cost as possible) upgrade or just build a new deck. I can make a decklist if that helps you guys out.
