2024.05.16 17:07 -JuggleThis- Validating my startup idea.
Hello world!
I’ve reached out to mutual acquaintances as well as family and friends, but I wanted to share this here so you all can roast my startup idea.
My wife and I are finishing a MVP for a marketplace solely focused on kids items.
My thought was, as a parent, I’ve bought tons of clothes, toys, etc. eventually our kiddos grow out of that stuff. While a lot of stuff is better off being donated, there is some stuff I’d like at least a tiny bit of return on. On the flip side, I know as a parent that I’m also a sucker for a good deal. Hence the idea for a C2C marketplace emerged.
I know there are Facebook groups and whatnot, but I know at least a lot of the younger crowd, myself included don’t like using facebook. I did do some testing and have some complains about the functionality of a lot of the groups such as getting lots of “is this available” messages with no follow up, no straightforward categories/search option, the need to join several groups with their own rules and restrictions, then coordinating payments to the seller.
I am curious on what this sub thinks. I so far have received quite positive feedback, but I’d love a roast of the idea from complete strangers.
TLDR: please roast my C2C marketplace idea for kids items.

2024.05.16 17:06 CrossfitGalTTC When to test
Positive opk 5/11 Saturday morning and 5/12 Sunday morning. Negative opk Sunday afternoon. I feel like I felt ovulation Sunday evening. Baby danced 5/7 Tuesday before, 5/10 Friday morning, and 5/12 Sunday morning.
Cramping left lower back, pelvis, and abdomen since then.
When is the soonest I should test? I’m a poas-aholic and thought about starting this Sunday (1week past ovulation).

2024.05.16 17:06 Chaos_Chads Beach cruiser back wheel
I might be in the wrong sub, but the back tire of my bike keeps popping out of rim. I fixed it before by disassembling it and turning the rubber to a different position to where it was slipping out. Then I took it for a test run and it popped out after 10 minutes. Is it fixable at home or usable? It sucks because this bike is barely used since I assembled it a couple months ago :(

2024.05.16 17:03 Status_Rice_4044 tested positive for ureaplasma after finally getting botox
I finally got botox about a month ago. After trying so many treatments, this was supposed to be my big breakthrough. Then I got covid two weeks after the botox, and then I felt like I had a yeast infection.
I went to my gyno after I recovered from covid, and she decided to test me for the mycoplasmas as well as BV/yeast, since I’ve had plenty of times where I felt off but tested negative for BV and yeast. And lo and behold, i have Ureaplasma Parvum. She has me and my partner on a week of doxy then a z-pack, during which sex is off limits, and after that we have to use condoms for two months.
I’m just so upset because I can only assume I’ve had this for years and no doctor has decided to test me for it until now. I’ve had recurring bv, yeast and utis for years! Plus unexplained swelling and urethra pain and sensitivities while being told I’m fine! And now i’ve got over a thousand dollars of medical debt for botox that will only last 6-9 months, almost half of which feels wasted. My partner and I don’t use condoms because they often hurt me and he struggles with ed occasionally. I have no idea how successful we’ll be with them but I don’t want to reinfect each other.
I just feel so burnt out. I’ve been dealing with this pain and dysfunction since I was 19, and I’m almost 26. I feel like I lost my early 20s to painful sex. I’ve done so much work to stay resilient but it just feels like it never ends

2024.05.16 17:00 NewHampshireGal I thought he was it for me.
My now ex-boyfriend and I met on Facebook dating in September of 2022. We hit it off like I’ve never done with anyone else. I thought the age difference would be an issue but turns out it’s just a number. We never ever argued. We got along great. We always had a great time together. So many laughs. So much banter. So many jokes. I thought I’d found the one.
I have a history of being abused; physically, mentally, and emotionally. So needless to say being with someone who was so nice and caring to me was foreign territory. Deep down I thought I didn’t deserve it but as time went on I got used to it. I never let my history get in the way of our relationship.
I have always been supportive of him and his dreams, I never judged. I never talked down. I never nagged. I treated him like I wanted to be treated. I was his biggest cheerleader. He always said our relationship was the best he’s ever had.
Fast forward to this past January: I found out I was pregnant. I was shocked because I didn’t think I could get pregnant again. Plus I follow my cycle like a hawk. I waited a couple of days to tell him because I was a pile of nerves.
He didn’t believe me at first. Asked me to see the test then asked if termination was an option. I said absolutely not. He proceeded to tell me he wasn’t ready to be a dad (even though he is very well-off). I said OK. I will handle this on my own. I mean what do you say to that? Not ready to be a dad? Then don’t do things that can lead to a pregnancy.
To my surprise he walked in from work a couple of days later and the first words out of his mouth were “we are done”. I was shocked. Hurt. I didn’t even know how to react. I nearly passed out. He also said “I want you to be the one but you aren’t”. And a bunch of other things I can’t remember right now.
Four days later I ended up in the ER and I miscarried. He was there with me. I didn’t have the strength to drive in the middle of a blizzard. I have never cried so much in my life. I feel like I died inside. He cried with me, held my hand.
We ended up talking and he said he wanted to give us another shot. We “cleared the air” as he put it. I thought we were doing fine. We ended up going to couple’s therapy and I thought we were on the same page.
However, this gut feeling just wouldn’t go away. I thought maybe I was stressed over the loss, over work, over whatever and I was just reading into things that were no big deal to begin with.
No matter how many excuses I made for my feelings, it just wouldn’t go away. It led to many panic attacks, thoughts of ending my life, (yes it was that bad), feeling guilty over the loss of my baby. I was a mess. I thought it was all my fault.
So this Sunday I did something I never thought I’d do: go through his phone. I was not shocked at what I found. He had been sxting this woman whom he went on a date with before we met. Of course he used Snapchat. I loathe that app. I knew about her and it never sat right with me. Up until that point he never gave me a reason not to believe him.
To make a long story short: today I broke up with him. I told him I knew he was lying. He blamed the girl for sending him pictures without him asking. I said “that’s funny because your last message to her was “holy fuck”. Doesn’t sound like someone who is upset to be getting nudes.
In a way he tried to blame me and of course I called him out on his bullshit and said “nah, this is all on you”. There is no excuse for cheating in my eyes. None. Zero. And I refuse to take the blame. None of this is my fault.
He said he didn’t want to hurt me, that we weren’t meant to be, all kinds of bullshit.
My heart is in a million pieces. He was my best friend. He knows my deepest secrets, he is the only person in my life who knows about my past sucdal thoughts (I felt comfortable telling him because he struggled with the same thing as a teen). I felt so loved when I was with him. He was so affectionate all the time. It is something I had never experienced before.
Please please tell me it will be okay. Please give me any advice you can to help me move on from this without losing my sanity?
Tl;dr I need help dealing with the loss my partner and best friend. I never thought this day would come.

2024.05.16 16:59 Slothstr0naut UST options with no RBE?
Hi there,
I'm putting together a media room and looking for an UST project with no RBE (it has to be UST as the projector will be built into a piece of furniture in front of the screen). Here are the answers to the general questions in the sub's wiki:
- Maximum budget: $5,000+ for the projector
- Screen size: 120''
- Distance from back wall or preferred mounting position to screen wall: UST (it'll be right in front of the screen)
- Seating distance to screen: 8'-12'
- How will you mount? (ceiling, rear shelf, table): Mounted below the screen in a piece of furniture.
- Usage: Movies, TV, Games, Sports, etc.: 75% movies, 20% sports, and 5% video games (maybe).
- Room type: Dedicated, Mixed use, Living room: Dedicated
- Ambient light, through lighting or light leakage from windows? Very little as the room will have blackout shades
- Room colors: Walls, Ceiling, and floors.: Walls/ceiling are white and floors are a light wood
The installer is recommending the HU915QB but I'm wondering if I'd be better off with something like the LS800 to avoid the RBE?
Thanks all!
ETA: I own a lot of 4K and blu-ray movies, so picture quality is the most important factor for me.

2024.05.16 16:56 AdrianM1996 Type me (repost)
I’m posting this again because I didn’t really get any satisfactory answers.
I always got INTP or ISTP on those free tests but I’m not sure.
• How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.
I am a 27 years old trans man. I have been socially transitioning for nearly 4 years and medically transitioning for 7 months. I’ve uprooted my life in more ways than one and it’s by far been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
• Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow?
I have been struggling with depression and anxiety on and off since my adolescence and probably have ADHD or autism as well.
• Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?
I’m an only child. My mum’s always been something of a fire-cracker and has struggled with alcoholism and emotional abuse from her mum. She always had very high expectations of me and she’s probably part of the reason why I have such unreasonable expectations for myself. My dad is a lot more chill even if he doesn’t get me 100 percent of the time. Ultimately, I think they tried their best. My parents aren’t particularly religious but I went to a Catholic school until I was nine. I never really bought into it and it was a relatively chill school but it probably affected me in some way.
• What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?
I honestly haven’t been able to hold down a stable job at all. After getting a pretty useless degree, my jobs have all been crappy and short-lived and I never really figured out what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to be a writer or an artist but I have a near permanent case of creative burnout. I’m a part-time zookeeping student right now.
• If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?
It depends. If I’ve had a busy week I’ll welcome the peace and quiet. If things have been quiet I’ll get bored and a bit lonely.
• What kinds of activities do you prefer? Do you like, and are you good at sports? Do you enjoy any other outdoor or indoor activities?
I have a mixture of indoor and outdoor hobbies. I like gaming, especially RPGs, builders, and dumb shooters. I also enjoy card games and board games and I’ve recently started picking up chess. I like watching movies and anime, particularly horror and action. I used to read a lot of fiction but I find myself too distracted these days. If I do read it’s usually nonfiction about a topic I’m interested in or academic works.
In terms of outdoor hobbies, I’m only just opening up to them as I’ve been a particularly notorious shut-in for a lot of my life. I enjoy nature walks, working out, bouldering, gardening, and swimming. I’m not amazing at sports but I wouldn’t say I’m completely useless either. I prefer more solitary activities to team based ones. I have a bit of a competitive streak and exercise helps keep it in check.
• How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?
Very curious. I usually have a couple of ideas on the go but I wouldn’t say I’m overflowing with them. My curiosities are usually about the natural world, video game lore, and new hobbies I may want to take up.
• Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?
I could be an okay leader if no one else was able to take up the position but I would be anxious about the responsibility and expectations others have of me. I’d like to think I’m firm but fair.
• Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?
I’m okay. I can match other people’s movements quite well. I can get a little bit careless and clumsy when I’m distracted or anxious though.
• Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.
Back when I used to draw, I drew a lot of tattoo designs and illustrations. Like something you’d find on an album cover or a book cover. I also drew many of the creatures and characters I wrote about. I’m have an eye for colour and I am drawn to art-deco and art-nouveau aesthetics.
• What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
The past, while not always easy to revisit due to fuzzy memories or trauma, has led me to this very moment. I try to take every day as it comes and that has helped me a lot. I am nervous for the future as I have few concrete plans and life may throw me a curve ball. But I am also excited to see what has in store for me.
• How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
It depends who’s asking and what they want help with.
• Do you need logical consistency in your life?
Absolutely.
• How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
Efficiency is pretty good. Work smarter, not harder and all that. Productivity less so. I’m just happy when I get things done.
• Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?
Not really. Unless they are negatively impacting me or other people I prefer to leave people to their own devices.
• What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?
Pretty sure I already answered this question.
• What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?
I’m a visual and hands-on learner. I suck at internalising verbal instruction. I despise overly rigid learning environments so I struggled a lot in school. I enjoy learning at my own pace and by going out and doing things first-hand.
• How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?
Improvise but I try to make a basic structure that I may or may not deviate from.
• What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally?
To be the best version of myself I can be and live the most fulfilling and rich life I can.
• What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?
My two biggest fears are quite abstract and they are being aimless and being trapped. I’m also mildly agoraphobic and afraid of wasps. I hate wilful ignorance and bigotry, especially when those things actively make the world a worse place for everyone.
• What do the "highs" in your life look like?
I feel alive, happy, and a zest for life. I feel like I’m running on a motor and that I can do anything I want.
• What do the "lows" in your life look like?
When I feel low, I get in a funk and it’s very hard to get out. I literally find it impossible to relax unless someone is there to get me out of my head. If I’m not careful I can get isolated. And that’s when I start to spiral.
• How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
Sometimes I let my mind wander, particularly when I’m listening to music. It doesn’t take much to bring me back to reality though.
• Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about?
I’d probably go a bit mad and try to devise an escape plan.
• How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?
I like to take my time to weigh out the pros and cons. I make stupid decisions when I’m rushed. I may change my mind if circumstances change and it’s not going to inconvenience me too much.
• How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?
A long time. My emotions are a mess and I barely know what I am feeling half the time. Journaling has helped me make sense of them and processing them to a degree.
• Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?
Not really. I either stay quiet or try to disagree with them in a productive way depending on how bold I’m feeling at the time.
• Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why?
I follow rules if they are there for a good reason. Like waiting in line. If they’re stupid rules I have less qualms about breaking them.

2024.05.16 16:51 Wilhelmena_ AITA For cutting ties with my best friend after she sent my sister death threats?
I had transferred to a new school in year 8 along with someone else who transferred to the exact same school. Let’s call her Ava. She and I immediately clicked as friends and we were close but still distant. I was trying to find my place among my peers and she seemed to find hers.
Last year, she started dating a guy, James, and they hit it off pretty well. A couple weeks into dating they were sexually active and she was very open about it. At the same time, I had been going on dates with my current boyfriend, Henry.
Henry and James were childhood friends and Ava and I were already close so it was a perfect match. We would go on double dates and spend time at each others houses. Our relationships were perfect. Ava was very open about her relationship to me and unfortunately to other people as well.
Our prom started being discussed around the school and the boys were talking about what they were planning. I, however, had no interest in going to prom. I’m not one to dress up all fancy or enjoy a night out. During the boys conversation I pulled Henry aside and told him that I don’t plan on going to the prom because it’s not my setting and I would prefer he ask a friend to go with him.
This upset Henry a little but he didn’t want to make me upset and told me that if I won’t go then he won’t go and we can spend time together instead of going out. James overheard this and said that he wouldn’t go either. This gesture was so nice and I insisted that they still go but Ava wasn’t having it. She called me selfish for not wanting to go and said that I need to think more about other people than myself all the time because if I don’t go then Henry and James won’t go and she’ll be all alone.
This disheartened me and I felt obliged to go so I simply nodded and agreed and said I would go as to not upset the apple cart.
Fast forward a couple weeks and we find out that the prom will be held on my birthday. This then arises another disapproval of the ball for me and I decided I didn’t want to go again. The exact same conversation happened and I felt as though I should go.
Ava was so excited and started asking me what dress I was thinking of wearing. Since my favourite colour is red and it was going to be my birthday I told her that I wanted to wear a red dress. She was quick to tell me I wasn’t allowed to because someone else in our group was wanting to go in a red dress. This deeply upset me and once again I didn’t wish to go.
I ended up breaking down in front of Henry’s mum and she told me to wear whatever dress I’d like and that I should go and not thinking about anyone else, just Henry and my friends. So I agreed and decided to start talking with my other friends instead of just her.
Finally, two months to go and everyone was so excited for prom. Our teachers had sent out a message saying to book a table as quick as possible because positions will be running out soon. I put forward my friends names plus Henry, James and Ava. I took a picture of the message and sent it to everyone. After receiving a thumbs up or spoken approval I sent the message off and was approved of our table.
Everything was finally going smoothly and I was somewhat excited for prom until I get home after work and have my sister running to me, crying and squeezing me tight saying she loves me and doesn’t want me to die. Of course this scares me and I wrap my arms back around her and ask her what’s going on. She tells me that Ava sent her a message saying that she’s going to murder me and she doesn’t care if she has to go to jail because she’ll do it.
This made me absolutely furious. I opened my phone and found similar messages to me. Some on discord, Snapchat, instagram, group chats and direct messages. All of them referring to how she didn’t approve of the seating plan (which she did) and that I have to remove it right now. How dare I put that through without thinking of others before me.
Apparently, James’s friend group was wanting to organise a seating arrangement that included Ava, James, Henry and I and were pissed that I put a seating arrangement through, even though they never told me.
I messaged in the group chat as everyone was wondering what I did and how cruel I was, asking if Ava was okay because whatever I did must’ve been bad. I responded with a message explaining what happened and that she is to never contact me again. This argument went back and forth for 48hrs before she finally had nothing else to say and just left me on read.
This whole argument has caused a rift between our friend group and legal matters may be coming into action which I can go into further detail in a part two if people are interested.
Sorry for the long explanation! Thank you so much for reading xx

2024.05.16 16:51 Oleeve- Disastrous dinner w meta
I've been dating a guy for a couple of years who was previously in a close relationship. After undergoing therapy, he was able to open up about being polyamorous, although his girlfriend remained monogamous. She initially struggled with this but surprisingly became more interested and positive about my relationship with him over time.
Recently, I was invited to dinner at their house to discuss how we would navigate public events and gatherings with mutual friends. I went into the evening with excitement and a positive attitude, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst experiences I've ever had.
The dinner started off well with casual conversation, but things quickly took a turn. She immediately expressed discomfort with any physical interactions between me and her partner, even simple gestures like holding hands in public. In an attempt to empathize with her struggle, I mentioned that I understood she had made an effort to accept the polyamorous aspect of her partner's life. However, she reacted angrily, accusing me of being patronizing and then proceeded to shout at me in a very disrespectful manner. I was so overwhelmed that I started crying on the spot.
After her outburst, she apologized but continued to act inappropriately. She demanded that my boyfriend and I kiss in front of her to gauge her own feelings, which felt incredibly uncomfortable and insensitive, especially given the circumstances. When I apologized for crying, she responded with more hostility, claiming that I was implying she wasn't sensitive.
To make matters worse, she started making hurtful comments about my appearance, body, and beauty, which left me feeling completely confused and hurt. I tried to diffuse the tension by complimenting her, but it only seemed to provoke more negativity.
Ultimately, despite her insistence that the dinner was a success in terms of testing our interactions, I felt anything but successful. When I asked her why she didn't feel safe around me, she burst into tears, leaving me even more bewildered.
I decided it was best to leave at that point. Now, I'm left feeling a mix of anger, sadness, and disappointment. I'm unsure how to process the entire situation.
Throughout the entire ordeal that lasted around 2-3 hours, my boyfriend's contribution was minimal. He pointed out to his girlfriend that I was visibly uncomfortable and clearly not amused by her attempts at humor. However, beyond that, he seemed somewhat frozen and unsure how to intervene as things escalated.
After leaving their house, my boyfriend came out to the car where I was waiting and acknowledged that it had been a lot to handle. I was still emotional, so I asked him to accompany me for part of the drive home. He agreed and called her, but she angrily rejected the idea over the phone, she shouted that no way!!. It was shocking to witness his compliance with her demands despite our clear need to leave the situation.
Later, my boyfriend apologized, assuring me that he had expressed to her that her behavior was unacceptable. However, the impact of his actions (or lack thereof) left me feeling deeply unsettled and furious. Our communication has since been strained, and despite initially acknowledging how terrible the experience was, he now claims that his girlfriend felt hurt by me as well, suggesting a shared sense of grievances between us.
This situation has left me feeling confused, hurt, and frustrated. I'm struggling to make sense of my emotions and would appreciate any advice or insights from others who may have experienced similar challenges.
I don’t want to see her again, not even hear her name again. :( any advices of how to handle this?

2024.05.16 16:49 harb0rcoat How the f**k to get out of IT support? And into software development.
I've been working in IT support for 5, nearly 6 years now.
For background, here is my current job history:
- Level 3 Apprenticeship in ICT / ICT Technician - 2.5 years
- ICT Technician in school - 2.25 years
- Systems Engineer - 7 months (made redundant)
- ICT Technician (current, 2 months)
The journey so far I did really well in my apprenticeship. I got apprentice of the year from my local authority, and continuted to work for ~6 months.
I left that job to go study Computer Science at university. I did this because I wanted to push for a better career in software development. Unfortunately due to personal circumstances and difficulty with the course, I dropped out towards the end of first year. This has been my life's biggest regret so far.
After University, back to IT support. It was in a school, so nothing too advanced, but I pretty much mastered troubleshooting, infrastructure, and basic networking. It felt like I could do IT support asleep, and has only gotten worse.
On the side whilst at this role and my previous one, I completed a lot of codecademy and freecodecamp, aswell as learning from YouTube resources and practicing coding projects.
Using this position I got into my last role. It was as ICT Technician/Systems engineer, and I both loved/hated this job. Part of it was to perform data analysis and prepare reports for stakeholders. This involved me using past knowledge such as SQL to a much greater degree. There were also opportunities to put some of my software development skills to test which was great.
Unfortunately aswell, this was also another IT support role at the same time, so I still had that frustration of not breaking out of IT support. It is just so easy for me at this point that it's extremely frustrating having to do it, especially for shitty pay. Ever since the apprenticeship, I have known it is dead end.
The present So right now, I am currently working in IT Support, again. Unfortunately, due to the unexpected nature of me leaving the other job, I took the first one I could. I needed the money. A friend helped me get it, and it's working at a very small MSP providing support and doing basic infra work.
It's ridiculously simple, it's a step down, and I absolutely hate it, and knew from the start it was just about getting a paycheck in until I figure it out. I'm finding it really difficult going to work to do easy shit for low pay.
I'm back in the same zone I have been so many times, wanting to get out of IT support, and having no idea how to do it.
I could go to University again, but how do you do that without working for 3 years?
I could do Open University, but that means grinding in IT support for another
four years and I don't think I can do it.
I could try a gov-funded bootcamp, but let's be real 80%+ of those are a cash grab just like the PPE scandals, and I can't afford the 8k the other 20% charge, or go 6 weeks+ without pay.
There are no level 4 apprenticeships in my area, and there hasn't been for 6 months or more. I check regularly.
I could try the whole self-taught angle. But I already have completed a lot of codecademy and freecodecamp, and have projects. I am already a semi-competent programmer, but find it extraordinarily difficult to convery this on a CV, any attempts in the past haven't worked.
It really feels all my doors are shut, and software dev isn't something I can achieve. I've though about doing networking instead as I do have an interest, but doing a CCNA and then hoping for the best doesn't seem like a great choice.
Appreciate any help, sorry it is massive :)

2024.05.16 16:47 CanaryPale8842 TIFU by refusing a manager position because of my past
For a period of time, I found myself in a dark place emotionally, seeking validation and connection in all the wrong places. I engaged in sending intimate pictures and risky conversations with others on Snapchat. I know and realize how deeply destructive and irresponsible and stupid that behavior was.
I've since stopped and taken steps to remove any traces of my past actions, but the fear of repercussions still looms over me every day. Yes, I know, internet is forever, it kills me inside. The thought of my past coming to light and the potential consequences it could have on my relationships (platonic, romance, work, whatever) and future fills me with some deadful regrets to the core. I'm struggling to forgive myself and move forward. I feel like I don't deserve happiness or love, and the fear of being alone forever is consuming me.
But it goes beyond that, I'm scared to engage in any new type of thing that will make me known to other. I was supposed to be promoted today, my last chance, and I declined. I was going to change my position for being manager of my team, but i declined. I had this chance for the last few months, didnt do it. Today was my last chance. So here I am full of regrets for my past, not knowing how to live and with less money and with my promotion opportunity gone.
TL;DR : I denied a promotion at work because of the fear of my past mistakes coming back.

2024.05.16 16:46 vintagechanel Is this a positive ovulation??
| Hi everyone! When I scan this ovulation test on the pre mom app I get “0.47 low”. When I scan it about 2 mins later at the 7 minute mark I get a “0.62 high”. I know the testing time is 5 minutes for these test strips. However please take a look at the test below, would you consider this a positive ovulation test? (Key note: I have PCOS and very irregular lengthy cycles). Thank you for your help! submitted by vintagechanel to TFABChartStalkers [link] [comments] |
2024.05.16 16:43 lucabrasi999 Maximum Weight on a Stain Wave Mount
I currently have a Star Adventurer GTI and I have been trying to follow the weight recommendations for imaging. This is to keep the weight on top of the mount as close to 50% of the 11 lbs capacity of the mount. So my DSLR, refractor, guidescope & guidecamera call come out to just under 6lbs in total weight (I am using a ZWO224MC as my guide camera and it is a bit heavy compared to true guide cameras). Even though I am slightly over the 50% rule, I still can capture 3 to 5 minute subs.
I am considering an upgrade to a strain wave/harmonic drive mount. I was thinking of a strain wave mount like the HAE29 or AM5 because I wanted to give myself enough capacity to get a few different telescopes over time. However, I keep seeing pictures of mounts like the AM3 or HEM15
holding something which really
pushes the capacity limits of the mount.
In short, has anyone had any bad luck putting an f/5 6" imaging Newtonian or even a six inch SCT on an AM3 or HEM15? Because those are the types of telescopes I am considering over the next couple of years.
Does a strain wave mount still need to follow the 50% weight limit for imaging? Or can I push the mount to the actual capacity written on the specs (with a counterweight)?

| Hi everyone! Here is my progression over the last few days, I’m still getting positive tests, slightly darker than before. When should I stop testing? Should I be looking for a die stealer at some point? My appointment is not for another 4 weeks, so I’m nervous until then about chemical pregnancy/miscarriage risks.
