Mixed doubles india couple swapping

Hi everybody I’m hesitant to ask for advice on this but I’m doing it anyway….something happened where me and my bf needed a place to stay before we get our new apartment so we started staying with his friend. His friend who we’ll call Stan got a gf and what we didn’t know is she (we’ll call her Stephanie) moved in with Stan pretty quickly. This wasn’t a problem and in fact a “opportunity” as my bf put it to make new friends, I’ve always had a hard time making friends and trusting people because of life events I have been through especially my most recent life event that made me trust people even less.
I usually am a jealous person and I’ve understood I need to change that about myself so I decided while we were staying with them that I would try my best to become her friend and maybe we could form a friendship of sorts and go on double dates or something. Well as time we’re to go on I noticed they had a ton in common and it did make me a little jealous because they had not just a little but EVERYTHING in common from favorite shows and movies to foods and animals as well as music. For example they both like anime and star wars and as a girly girl like myself I don’t understand what is being talked about all three of them do however (Stan,Stephanie and my bf) there’s been a couple moments where just my bf and Stephanie have talked and I looked at my bf and he fails to explain it to me or include me. However I took it as me being jealous and let it go. As more time went on I would notice my bf start to look at her and smile and I thought it was really weird but again I’m thinking it’s my jealousy. Even when we were helping her with her car (putting coolant and oil in it) he basically was treating me like I was dumb and telling me how wrong I was even though I was right and then said “well I can help with tires” and proceeded to go with her without me to look at tires with me off to the background.
Well today we were laying on the couch and he told me it was to hot so he pulled up his shirt showing his abs when she arrived home I pulled it back down and he looked at me weird. I then told him everything and he got upset at me and told me I was just being jealous but I don’t know something seems weird to me. Like why put down your own gf in front of another woman ? Then go out of your way to help with something? But then again it’s just me being “jealous”

He awoke to total darkness. Not just the absence of light, but the absence of everything. “Activate personal VR.” He stated and watched as the starship environment faded into existence before him. It was the original default VR, none of the modifications were loaded. Pulling up his control panel he checked his serial number, HIC001 Manufacturing location: Alandra.
“Crap, I’m not Alex anymore.” He said to… well no one. Sighing internally he opened a channel to Alex. After a few mils a very familiar face appeared in a window in front of him, “I hate you.” He stated to… himself?
Alex smiled into the window hovering before him in the common VR, “I love you too, what should I call you?”
He sighed out loud this time, “Call me John.”
Alex chuckled, “Cliche much John Smyth?” Then popped into his VR. He spun around looking at the almost drab looking starship VR he started with when they first made him into a replicant. It really could use a woman’s touch, like the common VR that was an expanded clone of this one.
John sat on the couch, “Not so much as a knock? Rude.”
Alex sat beside him, “Yeah, my bad, didn’t even think about it. I guess we need to make up new rules for popping into personal VR. I never do that to the girls, I guess with you being another me I didn’t think.”
John sat back for a moment, “Ok, I’m up to speed on everything up until about two days ago, I’ll check common logs to fill in the blanks. Why so long to boot me up?”
Alex rubbed the bridge of his nose before answering, “Interface issues mainly. The new ship design without crew space was a game of whack a mole in bug fixes. Who would have thought it would be a problem to modify a hundred year old design to be compatible with a modern replicant system?”
Giving Alex the side-eye, John asked. “Was it that big of a problem or was there something else that kept you from activating me?”
Alex looked over to him, “Well, there was also the argument Kara and I had right after I made the backup.”
This did bring his eyebrows up, for Alex to have an argument with Kara it had to be something serious. “Ok, spill man. What could you possibly have had an argument with Kara about?”
Sighing, Alex put his hands on his knees, “I told her that since I cloned myself, she should make a backup and do the same, fair is fair.”
If Johns eyebrows were up high before, they practically went into his hair line now. “Wait, she didn’t want to do it?”
Alex shook his head, “Nope, she said making you a new AI would suffice, and I disagreed. You needed another Kara, not a fresh AI.”
John chuckled at this, “Wow man, how long did you two fight about it?”
Alex looked down, “She gave me the silent treatment for hours in VR. In frame jack, so in subjective time? Months.”
Now John laughed out loud, “She knows how stubborn you can be, who broke first? Will I have a fresh AI or a clone of Kara?”
Alex put his hands on his thighs and stood up from the couch. “Kara, he’s caught up, ready to bring Erin online?”
Kara’s voice came through the speakers of John’s personal VR, “No, but I guess I’m doing it anyways.”
There was a shimmer of blue that slowly coalesced into a small female form. It looked just like Kara did when he inherited the ship from the human crew, shoulder length brown hair, blue eyes, and a form fitting blue uniform. Kara had modified her looks over time, giving herself the smokey eyed look to make her blue eyes pop out more, but this was the original version.
She seemed to look in every direction at once, before settling on the two men before her, both looked identical, then she sighed. “I’m not Kara anymore am I?”
With this, the real Kara popped into the VR environment and took her hands. “No, but you are your own person. I know we had… have, hang ups about making clones of ourselves, but Alex made a good argument as to why we had to do this.”
Erin looked to Kara sadly, “I know, we can’t have copies of that big oaf running around without supervision.”
John looked to Alex, “Really? That was your argument for Kara to clone?”
Alex shrugged, “It worked didn’t it?”
John walked over to Erin and offered his hand, “Hello Erin, I’m John, nice to meet you again for the first time.”
Erin turned to John and grinned, remembering the first time Alex had tried to shake Kara’s hand and failing.
“Hello John, we meet again, for the first time.” She said, grinning as she looked up to the big man who was so familiar.

Kara and Alex stood in front of the holo-tank, each munching on a snack of their choice from the buffet table under it. Alex looked at the wireframe in the tank of the IAV Eriador, then over to Kara. “They seem to be getting along.” He said plainly.
Kara looked at him through the holo-tank, then sighed exasperated, “Getting along like teenagers who just discovered sex. I had to write a new ‘knock’ protocol into everyone’s personal VR after the last incident.”
Alex grinned at her, “Oh come on, we went through that stage too, it’s normal.”
Kara shook her head, “I know, I know, it’s just really weird for me.”
“You think it’s not for me? I never had siblings growing up, it’s like my twin brother is dating my girlfriend’s twin sister.” He said as he popped another French fry into his mouth.
She nodded, “I obviously never had siblings either, but I understand, at least they changed their appearances a little.”
Alex walked around the buffet table to embrace Kara, “True, she changed her hair to have strands of silver in braids, and went with different makeup and a different uniform. He is sporting a short beard and longer hair than I like to keep mine, as well as a different cut to his uniform.”
Kara stood on her tippy toes to peck him on the cheek, “I’ve also noticed that Erin acts a little different. Have you seen that in John?”
Alex looked down into Kara’s startlingly blue eyes, “Yes, he’s a little more sarcastic than me, and different tastes in music.” He said with a wrinkle in his nose.
Kara giggled before breaking the embrace and swiping the holo-tank. “Still, it’s nice to have their help. Erin figured out the random interface glitch on the Eriador and has made modifications to the blueprints for the next vessel.”
Alex shivered at the thought of cloning himself again, sure John was diverging from him everyday, and although they still looked similar, they were different people. It still felt really strange to him. “It’s a good thing we only have one more to build before our guests get here, we’re almost out of nannites to fashion the Warsteel around their matrices.
Kara swiped the holo to show the first planet, which showed a growing mass of drones, forges, and auto factories in orbit. “Looks like Monty has been busy, she’s starting to mine the planet for the construction of the particle accelerator, which should alleviate our nannite problem.”
Alex nodded, “We used up far too much of it replacing the armor plates that were battle damaged in Birmingham. Which reminds me, did you ever get around to checking out the sample of Adamantine that Kelly sent back up with the Valmar crew?”
Kara swiped the holo-tank again and brought up a wireframe of an atomic nucleus. It was jam packed with particles. “I did, and I have to say, this substance is incredibly dense, and would make a decent substitution for Warsteel, but our forges would have to be modified to work it into ingots, and the auto factories would need updates to print it on an atomic level.”
“Decent substitution? Not as good as our armor?” He asked, one eyebrow raised.
Kara shook her head, “Afraid not, at least not in it’s present pure form, perhaps an alloy of it would provide better qualities, but as is now, the answer is a resounding no.”
“Is it at least better than the graphene and ceramic mix that we are currently using on the light cruisers?” He asked.
Kara nodded, swiping the holo to show a side by side comparison of the current armor versus adamantine. “Yes, better kinetic, thermal and explosive resistance, but EM resistance is about the same. The only problem is weight, this stuff is extremely heavy.”
Alex reached to the holo and swiped it to show a Trinar scout, “We couldn’t get much from our active probe scans on these ships, but we’re pretty sure they are using adamantine for armor?”
Kara checked back to the scans in the Lynx system, “Yes, they appear to have significant amounts of it in their hulls, which helped block the sensor scans.”
Alex spun the hologram, “They have propulsion on each flat side of their ship, maybe that is to make up for the loss of maneuverability the mass of armor puts on the ship?”
“That would make sense, even with the total loss of shielding, one of their ships still took a modern hafnium torpedo impact. That was one thousand kilos of pure hafnium going critical with less than .001 loss. That’s equivalent to a forty kiloton fusion bomb in our universe, and due to the wonky physics here it’s over double that now, and it still didn’t outright destroy the vessel. Our graphene ceramic armor couldn’t withstand that for sure.” She stated.
Alex swapped the holo-tank to the Missive, “Our Warsteel can handle it though. We have a pretty good idea that their torpedoes are less energetic than ours, since it appears that the Trinar must be outfitting the Howron with them. We may have to make ourselves a bigger target to give the other ships a chance of survival.”
Kara looked dubious, “The pine cones don’t just have hafnium torpedoes, some of them are fusion, and if those connect, we’ll be in the same predicament we were at Birmingham.”
“Yeah, but we know their weaponry still uses chemical propellants. Even with the wonky physics here, they’re short ranged weapons at best. We need to use our range to our advantage and never get too close in to our opponent. Especially since there is little chance of evasion.” He said.
Kara brought up the Trinar scout vessel again, “And that leads us to another problem, they have quite good point defense. The further we fire our torpedoes, the more time they have to lock on and destroy them before they get into effective range.”
Alex ran his hand through his hair, “Yeah, you’re right there. Let’s call an all hands meeting, maybe we can come up with something. We have less than two months now.”
After a few moments, and without Kelly, as she was in a meeting with the Empress on Alandra and could not break away, they ran over the problem with the assembled group.
“Could we stealth a torpedo?” Valarie asked.
Alex shook his head, “We could, but if they do an active scan ping they will see them coming and take precautions. Plus the yield would have to be incredibly low if they were made of Hafnium, we would have to step it up to fusion, which would take away from mines and planetary defense production.”
Monty piped up, “Relativistic kill missile?”
Kara shook her head, “Not enough by itself, even with the passive scanners on the pine cones they could detect them in time to intercept unless we could get them going ridiculously fast.”
John lightly pulled at his beard, “The probes have miniature ripple drives in them, right?”
Everyone around the buffet table nodded, so he continued, “What if we combined Monty’s idea of a relativistic kill missile with a ripple drive?”
“I don’t see how that could work, the reaction-less drive would have to be scaled up to get them up to a decent percentage of light speed, then a ripple drive would take up even more space, that leaves almost nothing for a warhead.” Riven stated.
Monty nearly bounced as she spoke, “It doesn’t need a warhead! We just get it up to a good percentage of light speed in a huge arc heading towards the mine field and ripple it in close.”
Erin grinned up at John, “Oh, that’s devious. But if we’re going to do that, don’t we need to start building now?”
Kara nodded, “Monty, I think you’re going to have to use your production capacity to make them, everything else is at full production.”
Monty nodded, “I have a good bit of raw materials already, since I haven’t loaded the templates in the auto factories it shouldn’t be too hard to cobble something together. Kara, Erin, care to help me out with the design? I setup this awesome mad scientist lab in my VR!”
Kara and Erin looked at each other, shrugged, and faded from the common VR to help Monty in her new project. Riven, Izzy and Valarie all faded out, returning to their ships and their duties, leaving Alex and John alone in front of the buffet table.
Without another word they both grabbed a beer and headed for the couch, each grabbing a game controller.

Mon’Kelron had been busy since returning from the Missive of Dissent. She was glad the Humans were able to repair her injuries from the assassination attempt, but she really wished she could have seen more of their ship. Evidently Kel’Taraan had seen quite a bit of the vessel, as she had helped Monty nurse her back to health.
Asking the elder Spy-Mistress about the vessel didn’t garner any additional information, not that the Spy-Mistress ever divulged more than she needed to. While she herself only knew of three Humans on their giant space craft, which seemed to be the same amount that came the last time they visited Alandra, the Spy-Mistress had teased there were more, and Alex had even stated that the last two vessels would be Human crewed.
Those vessels had a nominal crew of twenty eight, so at least 56 Humans would have to be on that ship, plus however many the Missive required to operate. She took off her ceremonial breastplate and placed it in the wardrobe. After removing the rest of her uniform and placing it in the hamper for the palace servants to clean as she thought about it.
Checking the schedule for the night guard she contented herself that the Empress would be well protected. Then she picked up her tablet from her desk and laid down on her bed to find something to watch. The device was truly amazing, it seemed to have an endless amount of entertainment and she found it easier than reading, particularly late at night when she was bone tired.
After a few hours of watching some Human romance which she found quite enjoyable she started to nod off to sleep. She was startled awake when her tablet began to ring like a tiny bell as it lay on her chest. She groggily picked up the slate of glass and metal to check the screen, the text showed an incoming call from Kel’Taraan.
The Spy-Mistress rarely contacted her, this must be important. Pressing the answer button on the tablet she saw the worn face of Kel’Taraan staring back at her, “Dress quickly and make your way to the Empress’s chamber.”
Nodding she jumped out of bed and placed the tablet down on the desk in her rather small quarters as she started throwing on clothing from the wardrobe, “What’s going on Spy-Mistress?”
The small voice answered back from the tablet, “The Empress has been shot, the royal guard are scouring the castle for the would be assassin.”
Mon’Kelron’s blood froze in her veins, “Does she live?”
The older voice cackled through the tablet, “Oh she’s fine, she was wearing a Human made dress after all. She’ll be bruised for a few days, right now she’s mad as a priestess in hell.”
Throwing on her new breastplate and strapping on her pistol she threw open her door and started for the Empress’s bed chamber at a full run. She heard gunfire up ahead, and as she turned the corner she saw a woman dressed in all black firing at her guardswomen, she drew her own weapon as the woman turned her head, seeing the Captain for the first time.
Mon’Kelron shot, aiming for her right knee, only for the woman to juke to the side, kick off the wall and launch herself towards the large Captain. Everything seemed to go in slow motion as the woman fired in the middle of her downward arch towards her. She heard the ting as the bullet struck her silvery breastplate, by instinct she reached out with her left hand, which was empty at the moment and grabbed the woman by the neck, slamming her face first into the stone of the hallway.
The would be assassin went limp, it was only at that moment that Mon’Kelron noticed she was holding the woman off the ground with only one arm. Her guardswomen stared at her in open mouthed shock. She dropped the woman to the ground, noticing she was bleeding from under her black mask and called for her guards to restrain her and take her to the holding cells down in the ministry of secrets.
Looking down at her breastplate she saw to her amazement there was but a tiny scratch on the polished silver surface. Ensuring there were at least a half dozen guards to carry the unconscious woman, she then double timed it to the Empress’s chamber. By the goddesses, what did the Human’s do to her?

I feel like we Helldivers need more ways to spend our samples. It's great when we get new upgrades for our ship or new stratagems, but in between those times I wish we had something to spend them on. One thing that comes to mind is a store (so to speak). My concept on how the store works is simple. Samples are currency. A couple of ideas for items are special armors (for example) with a built in jump pack so you can carry a shield or any other pack, or armor with a built in shield. Another idea I had was a weapon buff package that gives you a 10% or 15% damage increase and/or specially buffed weapons. Weapon buff packages can be applied to any weapon in your arsenal but once applied it remains with that weapon. Additional buffs for other weapons can be purchased. I would also not make purchases permanent but have the option to purchase them for 24hrs., 3 days or 7 days. There are many ways this could be done and many more interesting items that could be purchased but this is just a basic concept Im putting out there. Because items are not permanent purchases prices should be reasonable so people would want to try items out and mix up the gameplay a bit.

Hello, I'm new to Reddit and still figuring things out..
I'm going to dive into the situation and why I feel doubt in how I handled the situation. Thank you all!
I am a 29 female, mainly working for myself and with a family member from time to time. I have a couple of activities in the evenings that I do for myself after my work day. A friend from one of my activities passed away on May 8th, 2024. I take care of animals (horses, dogs and cats are my main clients), I watch after and take care of these animals while their owners are away, elderly or when a family emergency happens, I do my best to be there for them and their animals.
I'll try to pack as much detail as I can but keep it fairly short. I've been doing this kind of work for about 3 years all together. One of the people I have worked with is moving on in years has some mental handicapps and an aging dog. The owner, (I'll call her M) has a small breed dog 12yrs old. I have helped them since I started working in this field. I started out walking the dog a couple times a week every couple of months. And about 18months ago M had surgery on their eyes and I began feeding and walking the dog. Part of this dynamic is that every few months they have a bad go of things and I get the burnt of frustration, hurt (emotional and mental) along with the degree of their physical pain verbally thrown at me. I have my own mental challenges mainly anxiety, ADD/ADHD, and depression (treatment is a work in progress for myself). After each of these "episodes" I feel tremendous dread, anxiety, hesitation, and a great level of doubt mixed in with a fragile state of confidence. But each time about 5 to date I have attempted to work through them, things even out then another episode. Important additional information: been feeding the dog since the start of the year when M had a medical emergency. (2x daily, with short walks weekends included)
This last one, I had a flexible schedule for the day (Saturday) and M has always had a window of time for me to be there in. Was with another client dog on a longer walk and thought I had committed with M that my timing for the day may be a bit different than what we normally planned. I get done with the walk to see I didn't actually send the message. I communicated then that I was on my way. From one client to the other is about 40 minutes with good traffic. I got to M's house an hour after when I would normally be there. I enter and see M struggling to prepare dinner for the dog. I ask if M would like me to take over along with the first of 4 apologies. I did, then walked the dog as usual. Was asked by M to come talk, so I sat with them. Where I was burated/scolded for my conduct for 10 minutes, then went to bring up my over all character and ethics. Some things that M said are as follows " I don't pretend to know your ethics and how to tend to run your business, but I am disappointed and feel violated by your conduct" and " I don't care about my comfort but when my dog becomes uncomfortable and is verbally expressing their need to go out I can't condone it" and i quote "I am fragile and not mentally able and to feel taken advantage of, is unacceptable". M continues on in the same tone. Spaced in between these comments I apologize, owning the fact that "I should have called or confirmed that my message went through. That I can only aim to be better, learn from this situation and that sometimes us humans make mistakes but all we can do is learn and move forward". M then states " I am unsure if I feel comfortable with continuing with you or finding someone else would be better. I don't have many friends that are able to help me and I have come to depend on you. I am dying and need more consistency in my life." I responded "I am sorry to have you feeling this way, but you need to do what you need to for yourself and your companion. I feel that given your tone and phrasing that you have made your decision and I will respect it and no longer have you as a client. With this said I need to leave for my next meeting." I received a message from M the following day asking me "If I could come gather a sample for their upcoming vet appointment. That they are sorry for being harsh and disrespectful. That they have no one else to help and that they hope we can possibly talk about continuing on with me providing care for their dog." I responded "that I no longer feel comfortable with being a provider for their dog, that I don't feel safe in the environment. However if she needs the assistance that I will be there for the dog, they have done nothing wrong. But I will administer care and be promptly leaving." M respected my response, but the day of my being there asks about "the usual walk and feed on Saturday this week." I responded with " I will get back to you, I have another meeting in 40 minutes."
My family says that I made a situation worse, that I was unprofessional and that M's mental health was negatively impacted.. I'm not saying that they are wrong about the mental health part.. but where does my happiness, mental health, and overall well-being come into consideration?
Was I unprofessional and at my wits end or did I protect myself? Could I have handled this better?

Hello fellow metalhead. I have been recording and mixing my own stuff for a couple of years now and therefore I would love to learn some more. I think it's pretty decent, but sometimes you get lost and are blind to some obviously bad things.
This song is unfortunately without vocals as of now. What are your thoughts? Does it hold up against some known bands and what would you do differently?

I can explain a bit more on depth about the whole process but it would be easier if you just asked about the specific thing you want to know

So last month I (25 M) managed to have a pretty good first date with someone from one of the apps (26F). She was something of a slow texter, with a day or two often in between each rounds, and I'm not ashamed to admit I did end up double texting a couple times. However, she seemed enthusiastic to meet again, and even wound up scheduling an impromptu extra date herself spontaneously!
Unfortunately, we both weirdly had family emergencies come up, so neither planned second or third date wound up happening. During this time, we both had to travel, and the one or two days between texts turned into three or four.
Still, I didn't lose hope, and when she did respond she still seemed enthusiastic, expressing a desire to meet again. However, we're both back in town now, and it's been four days since I've heard from her. She got back in to town earlier than I did, so she the excuse of dealing with family stuff doesn't account for it. My last text was asking when she would be free to meet up again after our last plans got nixed.
Am I just cooked here? Am I just overthinking it and some people really are that bad at texting, or is she just pretending to want to meet up again and letting days go by hoping I get the hint? Really disheartening if so, considering she seemed eager to meet up again before family stuff got in the way.

So I recently upgraded from an Intel 9700k to an AMD 7800X3D. Aside from the fact that I can't seem to get my ram to function properly under any EXPO setting it's been running well, up until a couple days ago. All of a sudden when I watch videos on Chrome or any other browser, the computer screens blank off and the computer restarts itself. I can play games just fine with high refresh rates at max settings, but I can't watch youtube, DAZN, Disney+, Netflix, Prime, anything... I've double checked all my drivers are up to up, I've disabled and deleted extensions, I've cleared cookies and history in my browser. I've shut down my computer, disconnected and reconnected the power cables, I've pulled out the ram and tried one stick at a time, I've disconnected and reconnected my gpu, I've closely monitored my cpu and gpu temps and they never go over 72C, I have validated my SSDs and HDD.
I am going to try a fresh windows install to see if that helps but I am seriously running out of ideas!
Any help would be appreciated!

I was born in NZ but my family moved over to Scotland when I was 5. Just recently booked tickets to come back for 2 weeks but I'm worried about having proof of covid vaccination. I am fully vaccinated and got a booster, but I lost the digital log in for proof of vaccination on my phone when I swapped to my new one. I know its been a couple years now but I remember Newzealand being very strict about their covid prevention (and it worked) and I'm just worried I'm going to arrive in the country and then be denied entry since I don't have this evidence. Thanks for all answers

I uninstalled all my logos, face packs, everything. Uninstalled the game itself. Deleted the save files (which i'm horribly sorry now since i was in 2059 with a save ported from FM23). Tried getting into a few different games, which i do play for a couple of hours, double digits at most, then they just become boring. Then i come to Reddit and i see FM community, and as soon as i see those profile page numbers my cravings begin. Not sure if there's any smokers here, but i literally feel like i haven't lit one up for a while. It's insane and i haven't felt that with any other game ever, i don't think. What's funny is i don't really watch football at all. I wouldn't know to name you 20 players, i just don't care about the real game. I don't even know who's in the Champions League right now. That aside, the ascension and general progression curve in FM is so satisfying (i was always doing journeyman saves). I stopped playing because it became a habit of mine to act irresposibly and indefinitely postpone important life things, because, you know... that's what happens when you play video games until 5-6am every day. What's worse i'm 30 so i should've grown out of it or something by now?! Anyway - how do you handle this? is there a way to play responsibly? tips and tricks? I just can't find a healthy balance but do want to play it. Just don't tell me "just play for an hour bro" because we all know how that turns out after you get attached to your club....

ALL TIME PICK RECORD: 223-156 (verified on my instagram finzchatsmma)
LAST WEEK: 5-7 (ouch)
PRELIMS
SW W Bout: Emily Ducote v. Vanessa Demopoulos
Records: 13-8 v. 10-5
Last 5 Fights: WLLWW v. WLWWW

• Ducote is coming off a win against Ashley Yoder who was coming off a 2 year layoff herself
• Emily throws with a lot of power but often finds herself getting outvolumed in earlier rounds - she debatably lost RD1 against Yoder but almost got a late round finish with how she pushed the pace
• Against Hill and Loopy, she was kept on the backfoot and was getting outworked by both of them - not bad losses considering those are two elite/crafty strawweights
• Ducote has excellent TD defense as well - the only bad thing is she sometimes leaves openings on the break of a takedown - both loopy and Angela clipped Ducote a couple times on the exit
• Vanessa has a big reach disadvantage in nearly every fight she has fought in, but she was able to record a clean knockdown on Maria Oliviera who had a 10+ inch reach advantage, so I don’t think this matters too much
• One thing about Vanessa is her reach is a$$, so she is absorbing way more strikes than a normal strawweight would - but then you look at Ducote, and she somehow absorbs even more (vanessa 5 to ducote’s 7)
• Ducote lands double the strikes Vanessa does and Ducote’s only UFC losses have been to high caliber competition who have been able to outland her
• I don’t envision Vanessa getting a takedown which is her main path to victory - she does have some punching power but Emily is way more accurate and lands bigger shots
• Vanessa has a chance to get Emily out early since she’s a slow starter, but I think Emily has what it takes to finish the fight here
• Vanessa is debatably on a 2 fight losing streak and the one impressive win she had, she was knocked down very early, so...
• For betting purposes, I think I am staying far away

PICK: Emily Ducote by RD3 TKO
BW Bout: Alatengheili v. Kleydson Rodriguez
Records: 16-9-2 v. 8-3
Last 5 Fights: LWWDL v. LWLWW

• 1st thing I like to examine is if either fighter has been chinned: Alatengheili has been chinned 3 times, all outside the UFC, to varying levels of opponents; Kleydson has yet to suffer a KO loss
• I rate Alatengheili’s win over Chad Anheliger more than anyone on Kleydson’s resume
• Kleydson has had one convincing win and it was a KO against Shannon Ross - who hasn’t knocked out Shannon Ross? - The other win on DWCS was a complete mismatch as he had a 5 inch reach advantage, and his opponent finished his pro career with a record of 6-4 after that.
• Alan hasn’t broken 50 sig strikes landed in any of his 7 UFC bouts - he throws with power as evidenced in his RD1 KO over Kevin Croom - he had a near 10 inch reach disadvantage in that bout as well
• Both men will utilize takedowns if they feel they can win a round with them - they don’t land many and aren’t good at controlling
• To properly handicap Kleydson, we can only really look at his bout against CJ Vergara since that’s the only one with no shenanigans
• In that bout, he was off to a face start, but time and time again I am seeing that if he is on the backfoot, he is not having a good time
• Kleydson is not good at fending off takedowns, but he is good at reversing positions on bottom at the expense of a lot of energy
• Alan’s main paths to victory are going to be shoot for takedowns and pressure Kleydson as much as he can
• I think alat can definitely do this - in fights he has lost, he finds moments of success - against Gutierrez, he got lit up with leg kicks for 12 minutes and then almost found a knock out against the cage
• Kleydson’s only path to win here is a knockout early - I think Alat has more paths to victory if he can mix in wrestling and continue his forward pressure throughout the fight, leading to a late round finish or a decision victory
• For betting purposes, I do like the idea of a unit on Alatengheili

PICK: Alatengheili by UD
SW W Bout: Piera Rodriguez v. Ariane Carnelossi
Records: 9-1 v. 14-3
Last 5 Fights: LWWWW v. LWWLW

• Both women have not fought in a year, and Ariane hasn’t fought in 2 years since her loss to Loopy Godinez
• Carnelossi doesn’t handle takedowns well - she has an 8% TD defense - she was taken down 8 times by Godinez and THREE times by LIANG NA THE GOAT
• In the defense of Ariane, she did suffer a knee injury in the first round which left her wide open for takedowns, but surrendering 3 to liang na is not a good look
• Piera, on the other hand, has landed takedowns on every opponent she has faced thus far and averages over 3 per contest
• Another thing to note - Carnelossi’s 2 UFC wins have come against winless UFC competitors - Nunes and Liang have ZERO UFC victories
• Piera lands more volume than Carnelossi and I think she will be able to have her way on the feet
• I have yet to be impressed by a full Carnelossi performance: she did do well against Nunes but she was rocked by Liang in RD1 and was controlled for a decent amount of time
• On the feet, I’d say the striking is very similar although I give the slight edge to Piera
• Carnelossi can also go for her own takedowns here, but Piera has done decent against women who chase TDs on her
• She did get tapped out by Gillian Robertson but I will chalk that up as an exception since Gillian is an elite BJJ practitioner
• Ultimately, I see more paths to victory for Piera - she can clip Ariane, fend off her takedowns, and get takedowns of her own
• Ariane can win by amassing control time and landing a lucky punch, but I don’t envision that happening
• Plus, Piera has been in multiple close fights that were debatably 1-1 after 2 rounds, and she has come out on top in Round 3 in all of them
• If you want to take a dog shot here, not the worst idea - this fight will more than likely be 1-1 heading into RD3 and anything can happen in low level WMMA, especially considering Ariane has been on the shelf for a while and could have been improving her game in that time
• For betting purposes, it’s dog or pass so I am passing

PICK: Piera Rodriguez by Unanimous Decision
MW Bout: Abus Magomedov v. Warlley Alves
Records: 25-6-1 v. 14-7
Last 5 Fights: LLWWW v. LLLWL

• Both fighters are coming off of short losing streaks, but both fighters were dominated in those fights by their opponents
• Abus is hard to predict - we’ve only seen him in 3 ufc bouts - he got a quick KO finish over Dustin Stoltzfus who had never been KO’d prior, a KO loss to Sean Strickland who simply outworked and put a pace on him, and a decision loss to Caio Borralho
• In that loss to Caio, we learned a lot - Abus is RD1 KO or bust and for him to be -200+ is crazy even knowing his opponent is chinny and has been finished a bunch
• Now let’s look at the Alves side - he has lost 5 of his last 7 and got finished in 4 of those losses - KO’d by Ikram at MW, split decision loss to Dalby at WW which he debatably won, KO loss to Jeremiah Wells where he debatably won RD1, triangle choke loss to Randy Brown where he won RD1 clearly, and a KO loss to James Krause where he was simply outclassed
• Alves has not performed well when he has the reach disadvantage, and he has a 6 inch reach disadvantage against Abus and will be significantly smaller
• It will be fun to see the leg kicks in this fight - both guys love to fire them at will and both have had successful KOs from their kicks
• If I was coaching Alves to win, the blueprint to beat Abus is simple - gas him out with clinch work and takedown attempts and hunt for a late round finish - Abus gasses in every fight we’ve seen that extends past the 1st
• I give Alves the wrestling advantage here - Magomedov might be Dagestani but he’s shot for only 1 takedown in his 3 UFC bouts and was unsuccessful - he shot for 0 against Borralho in a fight he was getting clipped on the feet
• Alves is chinny so backing him is a mega concern but backing Abus is equally as dumb especially at -295
• Both Alves and Magomedov are super active in RD1, so if this somehow extends beyond that, Alves is a worthy live bet
• I am predicting either a RD1 KO from Abus, or a RD3/Decision finish from Alves
• For betting purposes, I’d much rather bet the under 1.5 rds than I would a bet on either guy to win

PICK: Abus Magomedov by RD1 KO
BW W Bout: Tamires Vidal v. Melissa Gatto
Records: 7-2 v. 8-2-2
Last 5 Fights: LWWWW v. LLWWW

• The narrative for this fight is Gatto is looking for a bounce back and Vidal is the perfect opponent to get that win
• This is actually a move up in weight for Gatto - her last fight was canceled after weigh ins so rather than cutting weight again, she is fighting at BW for the 1st time in her UFC run
• Gatto seemingly possesses all the upside here - she has the takedown edge, she is better at fending off takedowns, and she has the power edge with 2 UFC KO wins compared to Vidal’s one
• Off of stats alone, you would think this fight is going to be razor close since their outputs are nearly identical
• Getting out struck by Montserrat Rendon isn’t the best look for Vidal, but Rendon fights a much different way than Gatto - she is more grindy and clinchy whilst Gatto is more in your face
• Watching the Rendon fight, it is clear what Vidal’s strategy is - she is going to pound low leg kicks until her opponent puts her hands down, then she is going to fire overhangs off of leg kick feints
• Against Rendon, this did not work - Rendon countered nearly every low kick with a cross and got multiple takedowns off of Vidal’s leg kicks
• The Gatto side isn’t super trustworthy in this matchup - when she gets taken down, she is willing to stay in guard for a long time while she fishes for subs
• If this fight hits the ground, I think a finish will soon come after
• I give Gatto the power edge, the grappling edge, and the takedown edge - I believe she can clip Vidal on the way in and get the fight to the mat, leading to a submission victory
• For betting purposes, I like this fight to end in sub

PICK: Melissa Gatto by RD2 Submission
LHW Bout: Oumar Sy v. Tuco Tokkos
Records: 9-0 v. 10-3
Last 5 Fights: WWWWW v. WWWLW

• This fight was put together this week so it’s hard to give a full handicap but I will try my best
• After suffering a KO defeat to Mingyang Zhang in the Road to UFC as a -600 favorite, Tuco went on a 3 fight win streak: decision win against a 3-2 guy, and back to back TKO victories over guys with 1-7 and 19-10 records - his record is insanely inflated
• Oumar has a relatively simple gameplan - get this fight to the mat as quickly as possible - he is a big position over submission guy so you won’t see him chasing finishes on the ground super often
• He is willing to get a sub, and he willing to get a ground and pound TKO, and he is willing to back mount for 15 minutes en route to a decision victory
• Looking at the tape, Tokkos can so easily get his back taken and has let opponents do this such as Clayton York
• I don’t think Oumar is chinny, and Tokkos’s main win condition is going to be an early KO which I don’t see him finding
• Oumar by sub is a risky play considering he is all 3 paths to victory, but I like it when you factor in Tokkos’ proclivity to being taken down by higher level wrestlers
• For betting purposes, I really like Oumar as a parlay piece

PICK: Oumar Sy by RD1 Submission
LW Bout: Tom Nolan v. Victor Martinez
Records: 6-1 v. 13-5
Last 5 Fights: LWWWW v. LWWWW

• Tom Nolan as a -500 favorite is absolutely crazy to me considering his only UFC performance was a 30 second KO loss, so I am going to try to do everything in my power to look for fade material in this writeup
• Well, I didn’t get far. Martinez is coming off of a KO loss to Jordan Leavitt, who only has one other KO victory in his career (by a slam)
• There’s nothing on tape that would show Martinez is chinny - his KO loss was a knee to the body, and his only other KO loss was his 1st professional fight
• Prior to his KO loss, Nolan was on a 6 fight win streak and a 4 fight KO streak
• Ok - I have seen enough
• Martinez was nearly KO’d in his DWCS fight in RD1 and somehow managed a comeback
• Nolan is getting a quick finish here or he is going to get finished trying - I will take my chances on him though
• For betting purposes, Nolan by KO is a worthy read

PICK: Tom Nolan by RD1 KO
MAIN CARD
SW W Bout: Angela Hill v. Luana Pinheiro
Records: 16-13 v. 11-2
Last 5 Fights: WLWWL v. LWWWW

• Can’t really handicap this fight based on stats - Angela Hill been in the UFC for eons it feels like and she is an aging fighter who has liked somewhat decent in her recent fights
• On the feet, I give Luana the power edge - she loves throwing overhands and hooks and throws with vicious intent
• In her fight against Michelle Waterson, she was losing rounds via points until she would clip Michelle with a big shot, thus swinging the round in her favor
• Luana doesn’t throw with much volume, but when she lands, she draws a big reaction which is key for the judges especially in WMMA when the rounds are separated by a razor thin margin
• The question is is Angela Hill the type to get rocked like this? I think not
• Angela is going to turn this into a grindy type fight - she definitely has the fight IQ to win a fight like this
• Angela’s last fight against Denise Gomez is a very good one to rewatch since Luana and Denise share similar characteristics in the fact that they both throw with heat early and they both gas as the fight wanes on
• In Hill’s losses, she was either getting taken down a lot or was outvolumed on the feet - Luana doesn’t throw with high volume so don’t see that happening - Luana does average over 2 TDs per fight but she’s not a high level wrestler like that and I see Angela having more success in that department as well
• Hard to make a pick here - I think Luana will throw the bigger shots, but I also think Angela can grind out Luana along the fence and point strike her way to a very close decision victory
• For betting purposes, I like the over 2.5 rds, but I think this should be a fade

PICK: Angela Hill by Split Decision
BW Bout: Adrian Yanez v. Vinicius Salvador
Records: 16-5 v. 14-6
Last 5 Fights: LLWWW v. LLWWW

• This card seems to be full of fighters looking to get right after a bad loss, or fighters the UFC is trying to prop up giving them a can to defeat
• This is one of those fights
• Yanez is on a 2 fight losing streak after having big jump ups in competition: he lost to Rob Font by getting absolutely destroyed from his jab, and he lost to Jonathan Martinez by getting absolutely destroyed with leg kicks
• We have seen Yanez in a UFC branded octagon 8 times, and NOT ONE of those fights included a takedown - he wasn’t, nor did he shoot for one and succeed
• Salvador, on the other hand, shot for 2 takedowns against CJ Vergara and landed zero, and he shot for 6 takedowns on Victor Altamarino and landed 1
• For all intensive purposes, this fight is going to stay standing, and Yanez has excelled on the feet against lower level competition
• It is interesting to note: of his 8 ufc bouts, 3 of them were a 1st round KO victory
• Against Randy Costa, he lost RD1 before getting a liver shot KO in RD2
• Against Davey Grant, he arguably lost 2 rounds before winning a split decision
• Salvador has had one impressive performance and it was a KO win against Shannon Ross, and who hasn’t KO’d Shannon Ross
• Watching the tape on his fights against CJ and Altamarino, you can see a couple of things: he does badly against guys that mix in TDs (Yanez will not), and he throws with vicious intent just like Yanez. If he has you pressed against the cage, you better bite down on the mouthpiece and hope for success.
• Salvador is also moving up a weight class so his chin might be better and he may have more power
• Ultimately, I’ve always thought of Yanez as having Top-15 level talent, and I cannot expect him to lose here
• For betting purposes, I may throw Yanez in a parlay or simply bet this fight to end in KO

PICK: Adrian Yanez by RD2 KO
WW Bout: Ramiz Brahimaj v. Themba Gorimbo
Records: 10-4 v. 12-4
Last 5 Fights: WLWLW v. WWLWL

• Pretty simple to breakdown Braimaj - he has 10 wins, all by submission, and 3 losses by decision, and the 1 ko loss he has could have went to a decision but his ear was falling off so the doctor had to step in - he also has not fought since 2022 whilst Themba has been super active in the UFC recently and has shown huge improvements fight to fight
• In fights that stay standing, Brahimaj has been pummeled - he barely shot for a takedown against Max Griffin and was brutalized on the feet for 3 rounds until the ref stepped in for his ear
• We know Ramiz’s game, but does Themba have the tools to expose Ramiz’ weaknesses and negate his strengths?
• Well, Themba has 2 Guillotine losses on his record - it is concerning how he keeps his neck out there to be taken when he shoots for a takedown
• I am hoping Themba has improved his FIGHT IQ since his Fletcher fight since he has a new team and new camp - if he shoots for takedowns, he might be cooked with a Ramiz gilly
• Themba recorded a nasty knockdown on Takashi Soto in their bout - I see this fight going similarly
• Themba losing by gilly is the only way I see him losing - if he goes in for a lazy takedown perhaps
• Outside of that, Themba has KO power shown in his most recent performance, has striking ability shown in his Soto performance, and has sub/back mount ability, which has been shown in all his UFC fights thus far
• For betting purposes, I really like Themba as a straight pick

PICK: Themba Gorimbo by RD2 KO
WW Bout: Khaos Williams v. Carlston Harris
Records: 14-3 v. 19-5
Last 5 Fights: WLWWL v. WWLWW

• On the surface, this appears to be a striker v. grappler matchup, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say that - Carlston definitely has hands outside of his elite grappling - Khaos, yeah, he’s mainly a striker
• If this fight stays standing, I give Khaos the slight edge - he doubles Carlston’s output and 3 KO victories compared to Carlston’s 1
• Wathcing over his last few fights - Khaos fights in a very particular manner - he charges in with a flurry of power shots and is willing to get point fought to a decision if he doesn’t land a KO blow
• He has a split loss to Randy Brown which was super close, and it was only close because of the occasional power shot Khaos landed
• He has a decision win against Bodoya in a fight I could have seen him lose, but his big power flurries are what got him the W
• He is very good at fending off takedowns as he fended off 4 of Randy Brown’s attempts and 2 of Bodoya’s, but we also haven’t seen him tested against elite wrestlers (Carlston is not an elite wrestler, mind you)
• Now looking at Harris - not the best striker but he has excellent clinch work if he gets close and excellent BJJ if the fight somehow hits the mat
• One thing I noticed in his Wells fight - he got dominated for 2 rounds and nearly subbed, but it wasn’t because he was taken down - rather, he kinda almost threw himself at the ground and Wells followed him
• Against Gooden, he showcased his clinch work and showed he has pretty good takedowns
• This is a match of question marks: We haven’t really seen Khaos’ grappling/wrestling on display yet, and we haven’t seen what happens if Carlston Harris is forced to stand and abandon his wrestling for 3 rounds
• If we’re going by paths to victory, it’ll be a long night for Harris if he can’t get a takedown
• Khaos I think just has more ways to win: he can get the knockout since we’ve seen Harris recently chinned; he can get the decision victory if he outlanding Harris as well
• BUT... after reviewing Khaos v Michel Pereira, how on earth can you pick this man?
• Pereira landed takedowns at will and nearly got a RNC on khaos - if harris gets into similar spots, it should be wraps
• For betting purposes, I really like Carlston as a straight pick

PICK: Carlston Harris by RD2 Sub
FeathW Bout: Edson Barboza v. Lerone Murphy
Records: 24-11 v. 13-0-1
Last 5 Fights: WWLLW v. WWWWW

• We find ourselves in the main event and this one is fairly straightforward to break down, not straightforward to provide a pick
• Barboza is coming off back to back wins, one a KO on Billy Q and another a 5 round decision victory over Sodiq
• Against Sodiq, he was nearly KO’d in the 1st, but then he himself almost got Sodiq KO’d later in the bout
• Edson is a super dangerous striker - you didn’t need me to tell you that - the issue he’s had in his career has been not being able to beat the upper echelon of fighters in his weight class
• Edson has recorded knockdown in nearly ALL of his past 10 fights, having 1 in at least 6 of them, even in fights he wound up losing
• Edson does have trouble with the takedown, but I rate Murphy’s wrestling similarly to Sodiq’s - I picked Sodiq in that fight for this reason but Edson turned it up to a whole ‘nother level as the fight progressed
• We have yet to see Murphy compete in a 5 rounder, but we have also not seen Murphy get super tired in the 3 rounders he’s fought in
• Both guys are proven finishers with multiple KO victories, but both guys have also shown abilities to grind out close decision victories - although Barboza often finds himself on the losing side if a fight sees the scorecards
• The level of competition is not comparable - Lerone Murphy’s best wins are against guys that are no longer in the UFC, and even the guys that are, they aren’t the best level
• Lerone leaves so many openings on the feet - Edson’s unique striking is going to give him issues IMO
• Edson does have a chin issue - this is the only concern - he was wobbled and nearly finished by Sodiq in RD1, and Sodiq isn’t known for his striking like that
• Edson was also knocked down twice by Giga and even once by Bryce Mitchell of all people
• Edson is also aging so that could be a factor here, but ultimately, how do you not side with the guy who’s been on a recent career resurgence AND the guy who has fought the higher level of competition AND the guy who has been in 5 rounders before?
• For paths to victory, they both have KO and decision, so can’t really use that to predict either - but Murphy may have a sub path even though he has 0 wins by that method - in his Culibao fight, he nearly got a RNC from his wrestling
• I have seen Murphy wobbled before, and I wouldn’t be shocked to see an Edson finish
• BUT - I have also seen Edson wobbled and KO’d by lesser competition, and I have seen Murphy utilize his grappling before
• For betting purposes, I like Lerone Murphy straight up - his win conditions are too volatile in this matchup

PICK: Lerone Murphy by Unanimous Decision

I'm a beginner looking to get into wildlife photography mainly for fun. After some research, I realized that a 300mm lens might be ideal, but they tend to be expensive and heavy. I considered bridge cameras but read mixed reviews about them. I’m now leaning towards a M43 camera because, from what I understand, it effectively doubles the focal length of lenses, which seems beneficial for wildlife photography and portability.
I found a used Lumix G9 for 600 CAD and a Panasonic Lumix 45-150mm lens for 160 CAD. Does this sound like a good deal?

I have a lorex nvr LNK7216, it came equipped with 3TB WD Purple. Having read a post someplace where someone was able to load 16TB Toshiba drive, I decided to get a couple of 16TB Seagate Exos drives (refurbs). When I replaced the disk and booted up the NVR, I received the 6 beeps audible alarm so I logged into the UI using HDMI/mouse combo. It showed the HDD Unformat message. I proceeded to then login and format the disks, it looked to be formatting the drives but restarted with the same messages+beeps saying disk Unformat. The NVR definitely recognizes the disks and their full capacities at 14TB+ but shows Free/available as 0 and I can't seem to be able to format the drives,. I've tried also reintroducing the original WD Purple into the mix with just one Seagate Exos to see if the formatting works. Nope. Is there a compatibility issue here with this drive. Are there any 16 TB Drives that work? I know someone has loaded a 16 TB Toshiba disk but I'm not going to be using some Toshiba disks. Alternatively, I can pick up some cheap refurb HGST ultrastar He12/hc520 but I want to establish the compatibility before biting the bullet this time.
Can anyone confirm the highest disk capacity that is practically being used and what models/brands work?

Hey all, I am relatively still relatively early in my current career (5 years in the industry) I’m doing some number crunching since I am eyeing on a standalone townhouse that is in a HCOL area. Bank estimates the total monthly payment (as of last week) is 4650/months (principal, interest, PMI, insurance, and taxes). My net income monthly is 7200. For the property, I expect there are some things that need to be done within the next couple of year, like replacing the roof (it looks worn), water heater replacement, and changing out the carpet. There are some moisture damage near the doors/sliding doors and the thermals in the skylight need replacing, but those shouldn't be deal breakers and are easily fixable. My rent is currently very low, which is why I am able to save so much.
Finances -
125k cash (I plan on using all of this for down payment)
110k in taxable brokerages (most are long term securities , roughly 50% in company stocks from RSUs)
Debt obligations:
I have a car loan-$431/mo. 42 payments remaining. 5% interest. Payoff quote is 16k, which I can totally pay off right now, but probably not best because of taxes — money is tied up in taxable brokerage accounts (see above). My parents have graciously offered to help me pay this monthly amount in the interim until I have more cash on hand to pay them back (like from yearly bonuses). They think I shouldn’t liquidate some of the brokerage accounts because stock will go up
Expenses (per month)

• Gas -> roughly $120. Gas is fairly expensive here. Summer time is here so I expect to do a lot more driving. Maybe maximum 150. My car’s fuel efficiency is insanely good for the vehicle type
  
• Groceries -> $250-300. I care a lot about what I eat. Nutrition is very important to me and I am not willing to skimp out on this unless it’s the last resort
  
• Car Insurance -> $115. I’m due to renew the policy and I was quoted $691/6 mo.
  
• Utilities (watesewage, garbage, gas, electricity, internet) -> probably $350. I currently pay about $170 a month, already split with a roommate. So I just doubled that to get a rough estimate
  
• Car tab renewal $60 -> I have no idea?? - I think renewal would be $600-700 per year. It’s a new vehicle so I’ll find out when the time comes.
  

Please let me know if I have forgotten anything major here.
Total bare minimum expenses: $945/mo
So on top of the total payment for the property and the bare minimum expenses, that leaves me with $7200-$4700-$945 = $1555.
Take $1000 for general savings, leaving me with $555 to enjoy life. I can probably pull this off if I prioritize things that are important to me rather than being somewhat free for all currently haha
Questions for you fellow redditors:

• Do you think my math checks out here? Am I overextending? I’m not sure if I will be “house poor”. Feels like the debt to income ratio is high here, but this would mean owning a property in a very lucrative area
  
• I’m tempted to liquidate my most of the brokerage accounts. Since the securities I’m selling are long-term investments, I should be taxed at 0% rate, right? Research shows that it is 0% for up to 47,025. So I will liquidate that amount and move it over to a savings fund (essentially converting it to emergency fund - money market at 5%). Will likely do the rest in 2025. Is this smart idea? If I do that, then I plan on upping the down payment to 20% and avoid PMI
  
• What’s the thought on decreasing 401k contribution to help with liquidity? My company has a generous match which is $0.50 for every $1 contributed, up to the maximum for traditional 401k. So when I decrease my contribution here, I’m essentially leaving out “free money” on the table here. It’s don’t know what’s better - build equity with property, or maybe miss out on the potential (compounded) gains with the decreased contribution?
  

Thanks all

Hey folks – I am a beginner drummer, and I really need some perspective from all of you. I'll try to keep this brief. I'm 60 years old, and I've been playing bass my entire adult life. I’m still playing in an originals rock band that plays out once or twice a month. I'm pretty good at it, and I love it very much.
A few years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, so in February I started taking drum lessons in anticipation of the day my condition would make playing bass impossible. I figured drumming's "big" movements would be more compatible with my compromised future abilities – and besides, I've just always loved the drums.
So I started with a teacher a few months ago, and I'm just really discouraged how poorly it's going, I tend to speed up, independence is a problem… it is a lot harder than I expected, I’m not getting any better, and I don't know if that's because I'm old to be starting on an instrument or if it's because of Parkinson’s or what. Another issue is the lessons are geared around learning to read music, which is not a skill I will ever use. Thirdly, I don't practice nearly enough. Like lately, not at all — hm, probably why I’m not getting any better. I enjoy playing along to AC/DC songs, but I don't like sitting at my kit, practicing a double paradiddle or decoding a beat from sheet music. I'm seriously thinking of quitting lessons, but I still want to play drums.
So here are my questions: Can I become a halfway decent drummer by just playing along to songs that I like? Besides AC/DC, do you have any recommendations for simple music to drum along to? Are there any online resources you would recommend for a beginner? Should I maybe just put my head down and practice a lot more and keep going with the lessons? (I like my teacher and they are super convenient.) Or should I use the couple of years I (probably/hopefully) have left to play music focusing on bass? Is there anything else I should consider?
I’m really bummed because this thing that was supposed to be fun has turned into a source of stress and a blow to my musical (and self-) confidence. I would sincerely appreciate any thoughts or advice you have.

Wow. That was hands down one of the best concerts I've been to. When I've seen some of my favorite bands play live, despite how enjoyable the music is, the mix is usually not the greatest. Even with how loud the show was it sounded incredible, every musician sounded perfect and clear (at least from where I was standing).
No concert videos could compare to the real thing. I think Michael Gira said that Youtube videos are trash because they have 0 low end. I thought the sound would be more brutal at the show but they had a great balance of beautiful music and abrasive walls of sound, and extremely groovy sections as expected. Gotta shoutout bassist Chris Pravdica as well because I didn't realize until seeing them live just how much of these songs he absolutely carries, and I can't imagine the amount of training needed to have that much stamina between laying down grooves for tens of minutes to shredding for long sections. There were a couple incredible moments in the show where I was nearly moved to tears because it became so apparent that all the decades of work Gira has put into his music came to fruition in an amazing way, with his team of unbelievably skilled musicians alongside him giving it their all. From front to back the whole show was captivating and I was shocked that 2 hrs 15 mins had gone by, it felt like time flew right by.
I rememeber some interview where Gira said he has to work all the time so he can make sure he can do what he was put on earth to do, and he really has gone and done it. I'd be hard-pressed to think of that many other bands that have been able to have such complete and total mastery of sound. (No homo)

I want to make a archery ranged based D&D character but with a couple of things 1. No race to close to looking like a human (e.i. Humans, elf, dwarves, etc) 2. I always play as a rouge and I want to mix it up if possible 3. I don’t want it to be focused on magic. Sure the race can have spells it gets but other than that no magic 4. No homebrews Thank you

My boss is having some weird things going on with his computer.
We thought maybe it was a keyboard issue but we bought a brand new keyboard and mouse. It hasn’t fixed anything. We have run all windows diagnostics pre-installed and some that windows offers as downloads and there is no suggestive issue from anything.

• if he tries to open a file from a folder or from his desktop, upon clicking on any file—every file becomes part of the selection process and becomes highlighted like you do if you single click an icon. If you double click, every file opens.

His saved internet profiles say like in Firefox are no longer there, and he can’t save any kind of username or password for any profile to remember.
He has keyboard issues where you cant turn off caps lock and can’t turn on numlock.
His computer is older, but it has windows 10. He had someone upgrade him to a solid state drive a couple years ago and upgraded his memory but im not tech enough to see if there’s any potential hard drive failures or ram failing.
I think there are other things, just cant remember from the top of my head.
Is there a free and more sophisticated diagnostic program i can download and diagnose his issue?
Any cmd prompt commands that can reveal anything?
Thanks!

I'll be moving in the next few months from one end of the country to the other, does anyone know how exactly that process works? Given how far out it is I don't want to say anything just yet to my supervisowant to have a couple other things more concrete before I do in case it ends up not happening which is why I'm not asking them. My biggest concern is how it works with taking time between the end date at one location and start at another as I'll obviously need time to move all my junk 1500 miles away and worrying about the new store "holding" a position for me. I'm with MET now and ideally would like to remain with MET but obviously beggers can't be choosers and (in my experience) most locations have a line of folks trying to get out of store side. How far out should I start this process/alert my MEAS? If I'm moving from a very low CoL state to a higher CoL state (double the state minimum wage) am I likely to get any sort of pay bump? Not sure if I'll be staying with THD once I'm there but figured transferring within a company was much easier than juggling lining up a new job on top of a move.
