2024.05.16 22:40 tablife Triptans and WPW
I suffer from migraines and have WPW. It was my understanding that triptans were contraindicated for my condition. I asked the electrophysiologist today to confirm, and at first, he didn't know what I was referring to and thought it was some kind of protein, and then said no, it was fine. A quick Bing search shows the following, so I still don't know what to believe?
submitted by tablife to wolffparkinsonwhite [link] [comments]
- Acute Migraine Treatment:
- The goal is fast, complete pain relief with minimal side effects.
- Nonprescription oral analgesics (e.g., acetaminophen, ibuprofen) are commonly used and beneficial.
- Triptans (e.g., sumatriptan, almotriptan) are less commonly prescribed in children but can be effective1.
- However, triptans have contraindications:
- Ischemic coronary artery disease
- Coronary vasospasm
- WPW syndrome or any arrhythmias associated with cardiac accessory conduction pathway disorders12.
2024.05.16 22:26 Vicksin r/afkarena Post Flairs
Greetings Adventurers!
Along with our updated Rules and Guidelines, we wanted to take a moment to explain our Post Flairs.Discussion
This can be any discussion about the game, mechanics, features, and so on. This is the broadest flair for a reason, use it as needed as a catch-all.Question
Literally any question post you have about the game, whether that's in-game or on a larger scale. Please keep in mind that account-specific questions will be removed as per Rule 6, and belong in our weekly Questions/Advice Megathread.Resolved
A new feature to our Subreddit as of this post, if you make a Question post with the Question flair, you can type "!solved" or "!Solved" in the comments once you've received an answer to your question that you are satisfied with, and the Post Flair will automatically update to "Resolved" instead of "Question"Meme
Memes are memes, straightforward enough!Art
The "Art" flair should be reserved for fanart of the game, it's characters, or otherwise. Posts are subject to removal if they do not credit the original artist as per Rule 9.Test Server
AFK Arena's Test Server is about 5 days ahead of Global Servers, and offers insight regarding content that is not yet available on Global. This can include heroes and their skills, upcoming events and features, or otherwise.Info
This flair should be reserved for posts that provide new or not commonly known information, or research/studies pertaining to the game in some way. This does not include asking for information, which should be under the Question flair.We have removed the "PSA" flair due to it being too similar to Info, and confusing players on what the difference is. Posts that could previously fall under PSA, such as reminders of long-term events ending or Redemption Codes can be posted under the Info flair going forward.
Guide
If you've made a guide, text-based, video-based, or visual, use this flair. If you're sharing a guide that isn't yours, be sure to credit the creator as per Rule 9. Again, this does not include asking for a guide - use the Search bar or Question flair for this purpose.Showcase
The Showcase flair can be used to show off your account when reaching notable milestones (x amount of time played, x chapter beat, etc), maxing specific heroes, or any other in-game achievement.This does not permit the showcasing of RNG/Pulls, which should be posted in our monthly RNG/Pulls Megathread as per Rule 6.
Replay
Replays are screen recordings of in-game content, whether that's a normal battle or other game modes.Bug
AFK Arena Staff actively monitors this flair - do not abuse it.This is specifically for showing in-game bugs, whether it's a visual bug, potential gameplay bug, typos or mistranslations, or otherwise.
Dev Feedback/Suggestion
AFK Arena Staff actively monitors this flair - do not abuse it.If you have suggestions or feedback for the Developers to see, please share it here. We cannot promise implementation in the near or distant future, but we guarantee that the devs will see whatever is posted in this flair.
Historically, we have had several instances of Devs taking note and implementing suggestions from this flair, even as soon as the very next patch, based on various factors such as difficulty to implement and shared community sentiment.
AFK Journey
This flair is exclusively for posts primarily relating to our sister game, AFK Journey, within the context of and still relating to AFK Arena in any way. For example, "This hero from AFK Journey is really cool, I want them added to AFK Arena!"This Subreddit and flair is not for posts entirely about AFK Journey with no relation to AFK Arena - please see our sister Subreddit AFKJourney for such posts.
Conclusion
Thank you for taking the time to familiarize yourself with our post flairs!If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to voice your thoughts in the comments below.
As always, have a great day, and be good people!
2024.05.16 22:25 Vicksin r/afkarena Rules and Guidelines
Greetings Adventurers!
We've just restructured and consolidated our previous Rules page to be more straightforward and cohesive. Due to the character limit in a rule's description, this post will go more in-depth regarding what these rules mean, provide examples of what is and isn't acceptable under these rules, and aims to clear any confusion or misconception regarding our rules.By participating in our Subreddit, you are committing to honor and abide by our rules.
1) Be respectful and civil
As straightforward as it gets, the number one rule for a reason. Be kind to others, be good people.- Even if you disagree with someone, think they're incorrect about a statement they make, or otherwise, there are still ways to have a positive and productive discussion without being harmful to others. Uphold basic discussion etiquette and refrain from insulting or harassing others while stating your own opinion.
- Our community strives to be a safe space for all players. Before you hit send on a negative message, comment, etc., remember - there is another human on the other side of the screen with their own personal life.
2) No targeted harassment or personal attacks
In tandem with Rule 1, this rule more specifically refers to direct attacks on individuals. Under no circumstances should any individual feel like they are being unjustly targeted, attacked, or under the threats of malicious intent by any other individual(s).Do not make anyone feel unsafe or unwelcome. We do not take these situations lightly.
3) Submissions must be relevant to AFK
Keep posts relevant to AFK Arena or AFK Journey in some nature. Any discussion of clones will be removed. There must be a direct link to AFK in some form to constitute relevance.- For example, posts primarily concerning Overlord or ReZero are permitted since Ainz/Albedo and Rem/Emilia are in AFK Arena.
- Posts not directly related to AFK in some way will be removed.
4) External links and self-promotion must be approved
Any form of self-promotion, such as links to YouTube or other social media platforms, must be approved via Modmail.Posts regarding submissions to official AFK Arena contests, such as artwork contests, do not need approval.
5) No Misleading Information
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to express their (unharmful) opinions, but the outright spread of misinformation, especially when presented as factual information, can be very misleading and harmful to the community.If you are UNSURE if the information you are presenting is a fact, preface it with something to the effect of, "I think" to prevent misconception.
- For example, "Build Awakened Talene next, she's better than Awakened Athalia because she literally never dies"
- will be removed for misinformation, not simply because it is wrong, but because it is presented as fact.
- Meanwhile, "I think you should Build Awakened Baden next, because I see him used in every round of Cursed Realm, meanwhile I only see Awakened Lyca in like two rounds. But I'm not confident, so maybe wait for someone else's comment for a second opinion"
- will not be removed, because while the sentiment of "ABaden > ALyca" is objectively incorrect, the use of "I think" and encouragement to wait for someone else's opinion shares the user's acknowledgement of their potential misunderstandings.
- Discussion is always encouraged, and this rule is not made to censor or prohibit open discussion. It simply exists to ensure users are being reasonable and transparent with their statements, understanding the difference between fact and opinion, and not supplying users or the community with false information.
6) Use our designated Megathreads
To reduce clutter, our Subreddit implements the use of Megathreads to keep things organized.- If you're having trouble finding our list of Megathreads, please view our menu bar, or see our Welcome Post for all ongoing Megathreads.
- The topics our Megathreads cover, such as the RNG/Pull Showcases or account-specific advice, are very much encouraged in our community, but entire posts dedicated to such topics will quickly overrun the Subreddit. These Megathreads provide a home for such topics to be acknowledged and fair for everyone.
- Account-specific advice belongs in our weekly questions/advice Megathread
- Acceptable posts - Posts that benefit and apply to many users, such as "How much investment does Trishea need to work in Nightmare Corridor?"
- Removable posts - Posts that only benefit the poster, such as "Which e60 should I do next?" - this type of question must be posted in our questions/advice Megathread, not as an individual post.
7) Check for recurrent/duplicate topics before creating a new post
- As mentioned in Rule 6, always check if your post belongs in a Megathread instead of as an individual post.
- Sort the Subreddit by "New" to check if your question/topic has been posted recently.
- Use the "Search" feature on our Subreddit.
- For example, we'll often see users making posts such as "Where can I find teams for Treasure Scramble???"
- If you just type "Treasure Scramble" into the search bar, you'll see the most recent Treasure Scramble guides. This is less effort than writing and publishing a post asking for Treasure Scramble guides.
- For example, we'll often see users making posts such as "Where can I find teams for Treasure Scramble???"
8) Submissions that involve explicit NSFW content are prohibited
Another simple and straightforward rule - posts or comments of explicit NSFW nature are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:- Sexual activities
- Full nudity
- Strongly sexually suggestive actions or appearances
- Post submissions that depict partial nudity or are subtly suggestive in nature should be marked as NSFW.
- Posts marked NSFW that are not NSFW in any way will be removed under Rule 11.
9) Credit(s) must be given to the creator(s), even if it is your own work
Any post or comment which shares artwork, digital media, or content of any kind must credit the creator(s).- Falsely claiming someone else's work as your own will result in an immediate ban.
- Credits in the form of links to external sources are subject to potential removal under Rule 4.
- Links to posts or comments directly within our Subreddit do not need Modmail approval under rule 4.
- If you are not the original creator of said work, and the original creator requests the post/comment be removed, you must comply with said creator's request.
10) Poll posts must have an additional option for users to view the results of the poll
When making a "poll"-type post, an option must be included that allows users to simply see the results of the poll without impacting the results.- This option may be titled anything clearly along the lines of "See Results", for example.
11) Properly title and flair your posts
See a detailed explanation of our Post Flairs hereMisleading, incorrect, irrelevant, or otherwise non-specific post titles about a specific subject may be removed.
- For example, titling your post "Question" when you have a question about a specific topic is not sufficient enough meaningful material for a post title.
- So much as slightly elaborating on the topic, like "Question about Beast Resonance", and further expanding on your specific question within the post, is an acceptable title and post.
Report content that breaks our rules
While not a rule nor obligation by any means, we greatly appreciate users who do their due diligence and report comments or posts that break our rules.Intentionally submitting false reports with any negative intent may be subject to disciplinary action.
Disciplinary actions
Disciplinary action for breaking these rules may vary based on severity, and may include warnings, temporary bans, or permanent bans with repeated instances or escalation.Conclusion
If you have any questions or clarifications regarding our rules, or anything stated in this post, please feel free to comment below, or contact us via Modmail.Thank you all, have a great day, and be good people!
2024.05.16 22:11 scumbag_teachers Programmed by Media: NPR Host Suggests Women's Freely Made Choices Are from the Patriarchy
I just listened to NPR's It's Been A Minute, and the host's discussion on women choosing traditional roles was incredibly biased. She cherry-picked an easy target, dismissing the "tradwife" lifestyle as "cosplay" and suggesting that these choices are simply perpetuating the patriarchy.
Here’s a breakdown of the issues with her commentary:
Cherry-Picking and Broader Implications: The host targeted the "tradwife" phenomenon, a small subset of women who choose traditional roles, as a means to criticize any woman who doesn't conform to her version of feminism. By attacking this specific group, she indirectly dismissed all women who freely choose similar lifestyles, implying their choices are invalid or misguided.
Straw Man Fallacy: By portraying "tradwives" as outdated or regressive, she created a straw man argument. This misrepresentation makes it easier to attack and dismiss their choices without addressing the valid reasons many women might choose traditional roles.
False Dichotomy: The host implied that women have to choose between embracing modern feminist ideals or being labeled as perpetuating the patriarchy. This false dichotomy ignores the reality that women can make diverse choices based on personal beliefs and circumstances. Dismissive Language: Referring to the tradwife lifestyle as "cosplay" diminishes its legitimacy and undermines the genuine fulfillment some women find in these roles. It’s a tactic to delegitimize and mock those who don’t conform to a specific worldview.
Ignoring Positive Aspects: The host failed to acknowledge any positive outcomes of choosing traditional roles, such as strong family bonds and personal satisfaction. Instead, she focused solely on negative stereotypes.
Underlying Bias: The entire segment seemed programmed to suggest that any choice outside of modern feminist ideals is not truly a free choice but rather one imposed by the patriarchy. This narrative is both patronizing and dismissive of women's autonomy.
This kind of commentary reflects a broader societal issue where non-conforming choices, especially those aligned with traditional values, are unfairly judged and dismissed. It’s crucial to respect and support all women’s choices, whether they align with modern feminist ideals or not.
TL;DR: NPR host attacks women who choose traditional roles, implying their choices are invalid unless they align with feminist ideals. This perspective awards women only if they follow feminist guidelines and blames men and the patriarchy for any deviation from these ideals.

2024.05.16 21:51 Distinct_Gazelle_175 Connecting gear: cables, devices, and electrical considerations
High-Z
Guitars are high impedance (high-Z) which mean 10,000+ Ohms. Everything else is not. This means whatever you plug a guitar into must be able to accept high-Z, so read the manual for the device. Some audio equipment has a high-Z switch that must be enabled when you plug in a guitar.Equipment, like guitar pedals and guitar amplifiers are designed for high-Z on its input. If you want to plug a non-high-Z device, like a synthesizer, into one of these devices, you will need a reamp box. However, some guitar pedals accept both high-Z and low-Z on their input, in this case you can plug a synthesizer directly to the pedal without the need for a reamp box. Read the owner's manual for the pedal.
You can plug the output of a guitar pedal into a high-Z device like a guitar amp or another pedal, or even into a low-Z device like a mixer. That's because most modern guitar pedals support both high- and low- Z on their outputs.
Most modern audio equipment automatically adjusts for the different ohms and voltages of various equipment that you plug in, which means you don't have to match ohms unless you are attaching amplifiers to passive speakers.
Audio signal level
There are several different strengths of audio signal: very low-level microphone (0.001 volt), instrument level (0.1 volt), consumer line level (0.3 volt), and pro line level (1+ volt). Most modern equipment, such as mixers, are designed to automatically recognize and adjust for the signal level that they are receiving. Which means you don't have to worry about it unless your device has knobs and buttons specifically for the different levels. If your device does not have specific settings for levels, then you can plug anything in. Furthermore, mismatching levels is not the end of the world, and in many cases won't have any discernible impact.The headphone jack on audio equipment such as synthesizers is less than 4 volts which means it is the equivalent of a line level signal and therefore can be used just like the mono and stereo output jacks. In other words you can plug an instrument cable from the headphone jack into your effects pedals and mixers.
Some keyboards have a weaker signal compared to others. You don't need to do anything special, just run it into a DI box and from there to the mixer and turn up the gain.
Gain and Preamp
The function of the preamp is the same as that of the gain/trim. Its purpose is to match the input voltage. Many devices with a preamp will automatically disengage the preamp if the input signal is strong enough to where it is not needed. Which means you can plug anything into a preamp. However some preamps are only designed for microphone level, so read the manual to confirm the behavior.Setting the gain/trim is one of the most important things to do because it ensures the cleanest, strongest possible signal. To set the gain, start from 0 and turn it up until it starts to register the signal. It will start to flash when this happens.
DI box
Instrument cables are unbalanced 1/4" TS cables. Connect these to your guitars, keyboards, and pedals.A DI box is designed to convert a high- or low-Z instrument or line level signal into a balanced low-Z signal transmitted on an XLR cable. There's a couple advantages to using a DI box plus XLR cable for the final run to the soundboard:
- the balanced signal eliminates noise
- the XLR cable carries twice the signal and therefore is louder than the 1/4" TS cable
General Guidelines
- Connect XLR cables directly from the microphones to the Mic preamp on the soundboard
- Use a DI box with XLR cables to connect synthesizers to the soundboard
- Use a DI box with XLR cables to connect the Line (Through) Outs of Guitar and Bass Amps to the soundboard
- if the device right before the mixer has high impedance, click the high impedance switch on the mixer. Matching impedances is not super critical but could slightly improve the sound and voltage
- if the device right before the mixer has a extremely low voltage like a microphone (a few thousandths of a volt = -50 dbu), or a guitar or bass going directly to the mixer, it needs to go into the preamp on the mixer
- if the device right before the mixer has a consumer voltage of -10dbu then it can be plugged directly into the mixer. You do not need any other equipment (eg. Radial J+4 is unnecessary)
- if the device right before the mixer has a pro voltage +4dbV then it can be plugged directly into the mixer
- any line level device can be plugged into a DI box and from there into the mic preamp and/or XLR inputs on the mixer.
Ground Loop Hum
Ground loop hum happens when you have devices connected to different grounds that are separated by a distance because there is a small voltage potential across the distance and when this potential is amplified it becomes hum. To fix it plug all devices into the same outlet. This will fix most ground hum problems. There is no danger of overloading the circuit, see my Power post for a discussion of this. Additionally feel free to use the Ground Lift button that is available on certain audio devices like DI boxes - this makes sure the reference line for the audio signal isn't tied to earth. Also make sure the high-Z switch is disabled for devices that are not high-Z. Additionally try to use shielded equipment whose shield is grounded to earth.For details: https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/understanding-solving-ground-loops
2024.05.16 21:48 CartridgeCrusader23 Richey V Sullivan Supplemental Information Regarding SAFE Act Reporting
 | Hey everyone, submitted by CartridgeCrusader23 to NYguns [link] [comments] I don't have much of a lawsuit update at the moment since we're mostly just waiting for the judge, but I wanted to share some information with the subreddit that I think you might find interesting. Various FOIA requests were submitted from my group to the New York Office of Mental Health, the office that handles the reporting scheme under the mental health portion of the SAFE Act – you know, the folks responsible for stripping away my gun rights. One specific request we made was for a list of all applications for certificates of relief, as well as the number of approvals and denials. For those unfamiliar, this certificate is required to get your gun rights back if you've been "involuntarily committed." I use that term loosely because it's clear that New York has broadened the definition significantly. From our litigation, we know that the state doesn't provide any due process or notification when your rights are taken away. So, the biggest margin of error in our data is that it only includes those who realized their gun rights were stripped and managed to find out. Who knows how many people have been reported under the SAFE Act without knowing it? We found that the state approves roughly 50-60% of the certificates of relief. So, if you submit an application, you've got about a coin flip's chance of approval. We also discovered that the state lacks any documented policies or procedures for approving or denying applications. This means we don't have information on the types of reports, like whether they're for a 9.39 emergency observation or a 9.17 involuntary commitment. Interestingly, certificate of relief applications nearly tripled from 2013 to 2014. Why? Because the SAFE Act was created in 2013. This suggests that before the SAFE Act, the state used federal guidelines for involuntary commitments. After the SAFE Act, the definition expanded significantly, likely leading to tens of thousands of people being incorrectly reported and applying for relief to get their gun rights back. I thought you all might find this information useful. Feel free to interpret it as you see fit. I'll keep you updated as best I can, and thank you all for your support. |

2024.05.16 21:44 beeeeeeeeeeeey I(27f) think my ex is an attempted murderer.
I've come to a dark, and difficult realization this last week, and ever since I've been really tired and operating on autopilot. I don't feel safe talking to anyone I know about this, so I'm coming to you, internet strangers. Every second of downtime that I get, I go back to this thought, and it's weighing on me.
But first, some back story. This is going to seem totally unrelated, but just take the ride with me real quick.
Although in many ways I lived a privileged life growing up, my parents and younger brother were all emotionally, verbally, financially, and often times physically abusive. There were times when I feared for my life. But perhaps the worst of it was that they were careful. They carefully built a reputation for me--clumsy, strong-willed, dishonest. It was a reputation that I internalized and grew to think was true, up until I had my daughter. Now, she's nearly three, and I am finally breaking my family's hold on me. Permanently.
Like most abuse victims, I tried to leave them several times. It was my baby's father who taught me how to leave for good, and who taught me the importance of severing ties permanently. When I first left him, I needed financial support from my parents, and was grateful to have it. I know so many victims don't have that and can't get out because of it. And, while they were the lesser of two evils, they've proved in the last few years over and over that they are still, in fact, an evil. And one I need out of my life. My dad got me a job when I was well enough to work again after I left, but it only gave him more access to me. And I let him. I'm a grown adult woman. At any moment I could have had the courage and the strength to just walk away. No amount of perceived financial security (because relying on them is not financial security) is worth what I've gone through emotionally on behalf of him and this 'job'. But now, after years of moving over and over again and not feeling safe or secure, my daughter and I have housing that I won't have to worry about losing for the foreseeable future.
I have provided for her a roof over her head, but more than that, a place to grow in and call her own. A place where she can put posters on her wall and have a playground in the back yard and raise a puppy. It's beautiful, and it means that I know that I can now pursue a career that better aligns with the schedule, work-life balance, and emotional fulfillment that she and I need to better our lives. In other words, I've put in my two weeks' at that job so that I can find something more sustainable and sever my ties with my family closer to for-good.
I think that this is why I've had this sudden realization about my daughter's dad. It has been an incredibly emotional time. The universe seems to be throwing tests at me left and right, as if to say, are you sure? Will you really go through with it this time?
And I will. I have faith in myself as a mother more so than I have ever had faith in myself as a person. I know what my daughter needs me to do, so I'll do it. I know where I want to be so that she can grow and thrive, so I will go there.
But it has reminded me of the person I was, who did not know this, and who did not feel so sure.
When I first met my ex, he said and did all of the right things. I was a newly appointed executive in a male-dominated industry, and I was young and single in a conservative area where any indication that I was not wearing a chastity belt read as an invitation to pursue to every man I worked with or around. I was fresh out of another abusive relationship, still repeating the cycle my family had taught me, and was vulnerable.
And he played the part of my savior very well. We were together two years, and I supported him through COVID and losing his high-paying engineer job only to one day, suddenly, discover that virtually everything about him was a lie. Not only was he cheating on me--heavily, while I was at work and he was pretending to freelance, with several women including some I thought were my friends--but he had no college degree, much less a master's degree in engineering, and he had never had the job he allegedly lost. He was a con-artist with two children by two different women, a separate fiancee he'd been with since high school and kept trying to bring into our lives, and so much more. He was using his older, disabled brother's ssn at the job I had gotten him to avoid paying child support. He had even lied about how his parents died.
I'm not even sure I knew his legal name.
To be clear, I found out about the cheating first. That was it. The rest of it, I'm sure I had vague suspicions of. But I had trusted him. If something was off, then he probably had a sound explanation and it wasn't my business. I was young and stupid, and he was still acting perfectly normal.
I broke up with him, then, just to find out a month later that despite using birth control and condoms religiously, and despite having more than one prognosis that I would never conceive let alone carry a child, I was pregnant. At the time, I was no contact with my entire family and had been further isolated from my friends by my then-boyfriend. Plus, the company I worked for was showing signs of selling--my job was by no means secure, and especially not so because they had a history of firing pregnant women in my position exactly two months after their return from maternity leave.
The point was, I was desperate, and I was scared, and I didn't know that the father of my child was a monster, so I tried to make it work, thinking that my daughter, surely, needed a father figure. And for his part, he seemed remorseful. He promised to go to counseling and agreed to certain conditions and, again, said all of the right things.
And then he started drinking. And screaming. And demanding. And...threatening, and then doing.
But at that point, I was alone. I was halfway through a complicated pregnancy that made me incredibly ill with small town doctors who were gaslighting me and not helping me, the writing was on the wall at work and I was enduring slander and drama there, and I had no one and nowhere else to turn. So I pushed through. I tried to leave him when I was about 22 weeks along. I enlisted the help of my friend, who supported me, and I thought I was home free.
But that night was one of the most horrific nights of my life. The only person I've been able to tell about it was my lawyer, a year later, when I went in to make sure my daughter was protected. By the way, he's not in either of our lives at all and will never be. I have and will continue to do everything in my power to keep him away from us. Not that he could find us if he tried.
Things only got worse after that night. and at some point. I told a trusted friend and my mom (breaking no contact) that I intended to leave. Safely, and in time. I started freelancing again and looking for other jobs, and I played house the best I could to keep myself and baby safe. I ended up being ordered to go on bed rest two weeks early, And then I gave birth, and my daughter and I both almost died.
It was horrific, and traumatic, and sent me into a terrible spiral. It was all I could do to care for my daughter. But it became very quickly apparent that I was running out of time to get her out. And this is where the realization comes in.
His alcoholism and verbal and emotional abuse were increasing in frequency and intensity. He was also growing more violent--even if he was just punching holes in doors. But he was also...weird with our daughter. I did everything I could not to have to leave him alone with her, and she was only left with him twice.
Once, for an hour, because I had to go into work and handle something in the middle of the day. He left my 1mo infant daughter lying, asleep, on her belly, on a very high bed with loose blankets and pillows, alone in our apartment while he moved something from one apartment to another. I have no idea for how long.
I tried to breastfeed, at first, and there were issues with that so she was waking up often and hard to put back to sleep. We later found out she wasn't getting enough milk because of a tongue tie and started supplementing with formula at two weeks. I have heavy suspicions that I was also underproducing because of stress and emotional duress. One night, he was frustrated because even though I was sleeping in the living room and taking care of the baby while he slept in the bed, he couldn't sleep, and blamed me for being an incompetent mother. He took her from me, and put her to sleep with him in bed. I knew he was drunk. I went in to check on her--I was anxious, I had done tons of research on safe sleep. He saw me, screamed at me, and then blamed me for waking her up.
Later, he would try to put rice cereal in her bottle and make those "knockout bottles" that are incredibly dangerous when I wasn't looking. There were a number of weird incidents like this which he chalked up to being older than me, and being the way he'd raised his other two babies. And back then I really thought it was just all apart of the abuse--targeted at me.
We got out when she was five months old and today she's a sweet, happy, healthy kid.
But, and honestly maybe this should have occurred to me before, I can not shake the heaviness of the conclusion that remembering all of these incidents has brought me to; he wanted her to die. I mean, I guess in a roundabout way he expressed this. He started berating me for not getting an abortion almost immediately after I passed the legal time to get one done where I'm from (they're completely illegal now but were not at the time). I'm not anti-abortion, by any means, but it felt like it came out of nowhere. He also refused to have any part in naming her or preparing for her arrival--even in raising her. I always thought that these were just manipulation tactics. That he was just saying malicious things to get under my skin.
Now that I'm writing this, I also remember one of the last texts he sent to me over a year ago, alleging that he had shot and killed someone before. It wasn't an active threat to me. It was just part of a psychosis spiral where he was trying to explain that we could live safely with him in his new apartment even though it wasn't in a safe area or something, and so I really just discarded it. I didn't see him anymore. He didn't know where we lived. He was only allowed to contact me still because I was building a case against him. It didn't seem like it mattered.
Now? Today? I think that if I hadn't left with her when I did, we might both be dead already. More than that, I think that if I had not had her and I had ended up back with him--or back in another abusive relationship with anyone else--that I would certainly be dead. I might have been the one to physically take us both and leave, but she saved me first.
So that's it. That's what I've been struggling with. And I haven't really fully processed what that means for me, yet, except that I've made another appointment with my lawyer to take additional safety measures for my daughter. But emotionally? I'm not sure. I'll have to sit with this, and I just needed to say it somewhere. If you read all of this, thank you.
tldr; i left my ex when my daughter by him was 5 months old, and now she's nearly 3 years old and we are no contact with him, but i've recently been hit with memories of actions he took when she was an infant that lead me to believe he may have been subconsciously or even actively trying to take her life

But first, some back story. This is going to seem totally unrelated, but just take the ride with me real quick.
Although in many ways I lived a privileged life growing up, my parents and younger brother were all emotionally, verbally, financially, and often times physically abusive. There were times when I feared for my life. But perhaps the worst of it was that they were careful. They carefully built a reputation for me--clumsy, strong-willed, dishonest. It was a reputation that I internalized and grew to think was true, up until I had my daughter. Now, she's nearly three, and I am finally breaking my family's hold on me. Permanently.
Like most abuse victims, I tried to leave them several times. It was my baby's father who taught me how to leave for good, and who taught me the importance of severing ties permanently. When I first left him, I needed financial support from my parents, and was grateful to have it. I know so many victims don't have that and can't get out because of it.

2024.05.16 21:32 perfectfootwearguide How to Choose the Best Running Shoes for You: A Complete Guide
Choosing the best running shoes involves:
Choosing the best running shoes involves:
submitted by perfectfootwearguide to u/perfectfootwearguide [link] [comments]
- Understanding your foot type (flat, neutral, or high arch).
- Knowing your pronation pattern (overpronation, neutral, or underpronation).
- Considering your running terrain (road, trail, or track).
- Ensuring a proper fit with adequate room in the toe box.
- Selecting the right level of cushioning and support based on your needs.
Understanding Your Foot Type
Know Your Arch
First things first, understand your foot arch type. There are three main types:- Flat Feet: Minimal to no arch. This often leads to overpronation.
- Neutral Arch: A standard arch. Suitable for most types of running shoes.
- High Arch: Excessive arch. This can lead to underpronation.
Pronation Patterns
Pronation refers to how your foot rolls inward upon landing. Knowing your pronation type helps you choose shoes that offer the right support.- Overpronation: Foot rolls inward excessively. Look for stability or motion-control shoes.
- Neutral Pronation: Foot rolls inward naturally. Most running shoes will suit you.
- Underpronation (Supination): Foot rolls outward. Cushioned shoes are your best bet.
Consider Your Running Terrain
Where you run plays a big role in choosing your shoes.Road Running
If you run primarily on pavements, look for:- Lightweight shoes: For speed and flexibility.
- Cushioning: To absorb the impact of hard surfaces.
Trail Running
For off-road running, consider:- Trail shoes: With aggressive treads for grip.
- Protective features: Like toe guards and rock plates to shield against obstacles.
Track Running
If you hit the track:- Spikes: For better grip and speed.
- Minimal cushioning: For lighter weight and faster sprints.
Comfort and Fit
Size Matters
Your running shoes should fit snugly but not too tight. Ensure enough room in the toe box, about a thumb's width from your longest toe to the shoe's end.Try Them On
Always try on shoes later in the day when your feet are more swollen. Wear the socks you intend to run in to get the best fit.Break-In Period
Remember, running shoes don't usually require a break-in period. If they feel uncomfortable initially, they are likely not the right shoes for you.Support and Cushioning
Cushioning Levels
Choose the cushioning based on your comfort and running style:- Maximalist: Extra cushioning for a plush feel and shock absorption.
- Minimalist: Less cushioning for a natural running feel.
Support Features
Depending on your pronation type, you might need additional support:- Arch support: Essential for flat feet and high arches.
- Heel counters: Help keep your foot stable.
Brand and Budget
Reputable Brands
Stick to well-known brands like Nike, Adidas, Asics, Brooks, and New Balance. These brands often offer a range of shoes tailored to different needs and offer reliable quality.Budget Considerations
Investing in a good pair of running shoes is crucial. Prices typically range from $50 to $200. While higher-end shoes offer advanced technology, mid-range shoes can also provide excellent support and durability.Additional Tips
Replace Regularly
Running shoes typically last 300 to 500 miles. Tracking your mileage can help you know when it's time for a new pair.Listen to Your Body
Pay attention to any discomfort or pain during or after running. It might be a sign that your shoes are not the right fit.Final Thought

2024.05.16 20:57 Ev3puo Is giving each character in a party one Relic, one Artifact and one Apex item too much?
I've never had the honour of seeing a level 20 character in action and I recentely started a campaign at level 3. However, I like too look around AoN during my free time and fantasize about the future of the party, hoping no one dies too soon. It all started when I gave one of the PCs a Relic item with a Minor Gift. Around the same time, I gave another PC an Artifact (an Archetype Artifact, actually, but can we consider these two the same thing?). Then I thought to myself that throughout the whole campaign I should give everyone an Artifact and a Relic item, so that no one would feel left behind both in terms of importance and strenght of their character. During my research about which items to give, still fantasizing about all the cool stuff they could do once they get them, I thought that a level 18-20 PC should probably have an Apex item, too. So now I'm searching/creating these items for each of my players, mainly for fun, but looking around I quickly realised that there are no actual guidelines for these things - or maybe I haven't searched hard enough - and I'm afraid that the whole party would get too powerful if they were to get all of those items.
I've seen a lot of cool items that I would really like to give to the PCs, yet I don't want them to get so strong that they would no issue at all fighting for their last 3 or 2 levels (if they even get there). I also don't want to give those items to just one or some PCs, while making the others feel less useful. My feeling is that among those three categories, the most essential type of item that a PC should have at level 20 is an Apex item, to max their strenght. If I'm right, then would a PC with an Apex item, a Relic and also an Artifact be too powerful? Would an entire party be invincible? I've read that one artifact could be the main objective of a whole campaign, so I probably should not give one to each player, but how can I avoid the issue of making just one of them the "protagonist", once they obtain an Artifact? What are your suggestions?

2024.05.16 20:56 BaldBoi96 Passed Security + 701
Yesterday I passed with a score of 832 and I can honestly say that exam was way easier than I thought it was going to be.
Tips for studying: Do not buy any practice exams when you first start, Andrew Ramdayal has a free youtube video of 50 questions that I started with to test my knowledge, and some of these questions are extremely similar to the ones found on test. Use all of your free resources and then buy Messer's practice exams and some other form on Udemy to further assist you. Never consolidate your studying to one place and do not gage your knowledge on how much you got on a Jason Dion exam, they are so far off that they're only good to fully exhaust your knowledge and most of his questions are not close to the exam. In my opinion do Andrew Ramdayal and Messer's exams, they are great sources of learning and understanding how the concepts can be applied in real life scenarios.
Learning: Do not go through and watch every Professor Messer video from start to finish, do not waste your time studying on topics you already know and are familiar with. I skipped about 70% of his course on youtube because I knew most of it I only needed to cover specific acronyms and other things I was shaky on. If you have trouble on a topic go back and watch the video take notes and try to describe real life scenarios that you can equate with that topic. This will help not only teach you the definitions but the concept as well. This reduces the amount of time taken up by just taking notes.
Don't just know the definitions to the words on the test or the acronyms, you need to be able to apply them to real life scenarios/spot when something is happening. This might sound a little weird or complex but the more practice exams you take the more you will be able to understand this.
Exam tips: PBQ's might seem intimidating at first but I promise they are simpler than you think, unfortunately I cannot say the ones I got due to CompTIA's guidelines. However, a lot of the times the answer is easier than you realize, you just need to read carefully, be confident, and if you're unsure of something come back to it later. Your nerves often cause you to overthink and make it so you're confused on what the task is.
The multiple choice questions often have 1 or 2 key words that determine what the correct answer is, slow down and READ it literally. When you spot the key words in the questions the answers are most of the time dead giveaways. Use process of elimination to quickly weed out answers that make no logical sense in that question/scenario.
Know your acronyms: Other people have said this but the test is full of acronyms and it can mean the difference between knowing the answer and completely guessing,
If anyone is wondering of my experience: I have 5 years total experience in IT

2024.05.16 20:55 throwaway1231390 Help with school list
I’m having trouble with my school list. I’m an older, non-trad, re-applicant with a kind of strange application. Since my application in 2022 I did a DIY post-bac while working full time and spent more time volunteering and shadowing. My main issue is that my research is the strength of my application but the schools that care about research will likely not even look at my application due to my undergrad GPA. I have a strong narrative of wanting to go into primary care to treat chronic illness. I’m a WA resident. Random X factor, worked as a mountain guide before clinical research. Any insight or help would be much appreciated. I have FAP so 20 apps will be free.

Ensuring compliance with established guidelines is not just about legal adherence but about fostering trust and ethical integrity in AI technology."Pichai's discussion during Pichai's interview reminds us that leading AI technology developments means a lot of work. With tech growing fast, Google and OpenAI deal with finding new ways to innovate. But they also have to keep doing things right by the law and morally.
Concerns About OpenAI's YouTube Data UsageOpenAI has gained attention for using lots of YouTube videos to train their Sora model. This news has many people worried. They are questioning how much data AI systems like OpenAI should be allowed to use. They're also thinking about the impact on people who own the content and its licensing rights.Potential Copyright ViolationsPeople are worried that OpenAI might be breaking copyright laws. They say that training their Sora model with lots of OpenAI YouTube data could be wrong. This brings up a big question: how can we make sure AI projects follow copyright laws?Publicly Available Data and Licensing IssuesA person from OpenAI named Mira Murati has talked about their dataset. She said it has data that's out there for everyone and data that's under licenses. But she didn't directly say if the dataset has YouTube data too. This issue makes us think more about licensing in AI development. It also raises important questions about using free public data for making money with AI.Industry Reactions and Legal ImplicationsStories in The New York Times have criticized OpenAI's data practices. This conversation is about more than just copyright. It's about how these cases could affect AI's future.

2024.05.16 20:00 nbvalkyrie Meal planning guidance needed pls
Someone mentioned a book called "Nourishing Yourself Through Eating Disorder Recovery" or something to that effect. It was like, the "plate-by-plate" approach or something similar.
I'm broke as hell and can't buy the book right now, but I was wondering if anyone on here could explain some of the main guidelines to me. Or if you could point me to any free resources that would guide me in a similar way.
I also recently asked my psych NP to request samples from Kate Farms, which is like, supercharged Ensure that's also vegan and made of pea protein. It's for medical nutrition. They sent two boxes containing a dozen each of the vanilla 1.0 and plain 1.5, which surprised both of us to no end. I figured I might get one or two and a coupon for my next order or something. She's a nurse practitioner, not a doctor or psychiatrist or nutrition specialist, nor is she an eating disorder specialist of any kind. I'm guessing a therapist could also make the request; it just has to come from some type of medical provider. Oh and she has another client with similar issues who has Medicaid and got them to pay for a YEAR SUPPLY of the stuff. Completely covered.
I got them yesterday. My first thought was, wow, I have to tell other people about this. I mean, I can't imagine I'm the only broke bitch who also has food problems like this. I'm barely functional, but I still want to help make things better for others. And I think it's good to be reminded that some things in this world aren't awful and unfair. Sometimes you can still be surprised by generosity, and it's nice to know that this exists, that several people went out of their way to not just make and sell the product, but recognized that there was a need that wasn't being addressed: some folks with EDs or other eating and feeding issues don't have money, but they still need a product like this. They saw that, and they actually DID SOMETHING: they created a form for providers to request samples, and the samples are incredibly generous.
I'm just saying, it's good to remind yourself that not everything in the world is brutally unfair. I have to do it often in the last several months. But that is another story for another subreddit lol
My second thought was, wait, now what? Because I have these things and should probably try to use them. But I have no idea how to incorporate them into my diet. So I'm doing what any broke bitch with an internet connection would do in this day and age: I'm asking Reddit. And a few other places, but this is one of my go-to sites for certain things.
How do you all incorporate supplements like this in your recovery efforts? And I'll take all the meal planning info I can get. I'm also vegan, but that predates and exists apart from the ED shenanigans, at least for me. I recognize that some folks use that kind of diet as a mask for disordered eating, but I'm 34 and went vegan at 16. My food weirdness existed before that, but it didn't reach ED levels until I was nearly 18. Veganism has always been a matter of ethics for me, but I'm way past the point where I could be bothered to harass others about it. Inform, sure, but I think it would be pretty bonkers for me to try to tell anyone how to live and eat, when I can barely get myself to do those things lately.
Y'all, I hate this. Eating is literally a basic biological function. Plenty of idiots do it with no problem, and I can't. Bigots and other generally awful people do it all the time, zero issues, but it's my fucking kryptonite. I want to do so many things in this world and yet all my energy is going towards anorexia. I hate that I even care.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk lol
