My name is Mark Faraday. I was just looking for love back around January 20th, 2024 but I don’t want to see anyone else get scammed. I had a human profile picture when I was using these website, and was honest. I ran into a whole lying network run by a Woman, her friends, and a man. I will update this story if I have more to say in the future. Her nickname is Yomi, she told me her name was Miyuki Miyamoto and she was from Japan. Her real name is Jeong Nahyeon and she is from South Korea. She also has fake Chinese accounts like:

Summary: January to March 2024
Jpndate.com / Datesteady.com / Cudate.com / Sayhiup.com are dangerous Romance scams. All the women are paid actors for the website from Korea/China. They will try to get into a relationship with you very fast, don’t fall for it. They are milking you for money like if you're a cow. They will threaten to kill you or your family if you call out their scam. They might also say they will sue you. If you stop paying them, they will text you very little. They will never video call you face-to-face. Jpndate.com has a sister scam website from the same people called sayhiup.com. When you buy something on Jpndate the payment goes to Cudate Limited, so that site must be part of the scam also.There also Datesteady with the same layout. There is a company in China doing all type of illegal and immoral practices. Their name is Zhengzhou Zhongzhiqi Technology Co., Ltd. / 郑州市中之祺科技有限公司 . They have their main technology business but they also run a list of many scam websites stealing money from American men, Asian, and European men. Such as Cudate, JPNDate, DateSteady.com, SayhiUp. These are romance scam sites where all the women work for the company. If you make a female account it will pend forever. Only men get approved. They claimed before to be an American-owned company then I exposed them now they claim to be Dutch. Their servers are all in China. They never filed paperwork with any foreign country. They are none of these the Chinese pretending to run many dating sites when in fact it’s all fake. They claim to be in nations their not. They have fake terms of service. I used PayPal before I didn't know it was a scam. I paid in dollars, but they refused to refund me till I told PayPal. PayPal made them pay me back. Then they refused to pay me the total amount they wanted to pay me on yuan when I paid dollars. I reported them to FTC. They also try to hack my laptop for me telling the government the truth about them. They probably get funds from the Communist Party government or SW Entertainment in South Korea. They are very very bad people. Please look into it or forward this message somewhere where it can be looked into. Pretends to be a legit dating site but feels more like a pay-to-use website for fake love. All women here are paid actors for the site. The same few women have multiple profiles pretending to be different people. The funny part is anytime you call out JPNDate bs they change their terms of service. Screenshot everything people. They have a fake page saying they're trying to stop scammers, it all bs they are the scammers.

My Story: January to March 2024
(Update): I know it is the same person, They told me in a text message by accident. They also replied with different accounts knowing info about me I only told the other account.
Do you like Asian women?
Real Asian women?
These ones are real!
I know who they are.
Hi! This is Mark Faraday talking to you.
This is my story of how a website named JPNDate Dancing Idol scammed me out of 4080 American dollars. From the time period of January to March 2024.
First, I was on Japan Cupid, a dating site. On Japan Cupid, no one can chat unless one of you has a membership. I bought a 1-week membership. Within 5 minutes to 10 minutes, a woman nicknamed Yomi from Japan messaged me; this should have been a red flag for me. We talked for a while. She said she was interested in me. She asked me if I could move over to the dating site JPNDate because she paid for membership there and not Japan Cupid. She also promised to delete her account on Japan Cupid after we changed sites. She does delete her account off Japan Cupid. Japan Cupid is sus also. I don’t think it is the same company but it is still very sus. However, these women used that site to find men like me. That is a story for a different day.
Unlike a normal scam artist, who may only have 1 or 2 photos, she has several photos on her profile. My trust in her grows a bit seeing that. She then privately messaged me several more photos of her. She asked me for some photos, which I sent. She then sends back happy and heartfelt emojis. She told me she doesn’t date Asian men anymore because they were violent to her in the past and her last boyfriend cheated on her. She talked about how she didn’t want to fight with me. She also said we could talk about any topic.
She would compliment me often, as I did for her. Of course, on my profile page, I try to post my best pictures. Throughout my life, I have had many different hairstyles. She even mentioned this and got very happy and asked if I was a hairstylist.
The spam of talking on JPNDate.com between us was from January 20th, 2024, to March 24th, 2024.
On JPNDate, there is an upgrade system. You need Blue Diamond to chat with others. Crown to send videos. Blue Diamond is 20 dollars per month, and Crown is 80 dollars per month. I got the Blue Diamond membership at first. It showed her with it too. After a day or two, she asked me to upgrade like she did to the Crown membership so she could send me a video. I upgraded it, and she did actually send me a video. All pictures and the video match the same person and the same face. Some pictures were in different locations, and some were like three different pictures in the same place. We then later buy a 6-month Crown membership for each other because it is cheaper than 1 month at a time. I bought it for her, and she bought it for me.
At this point, I start to believe. This person was giving me all their time. They reply very often, and their texting time was the same as Japan timezones every single day. They spoke not only English but also Japanese almost fluently. However, they did let me know that they're still learning English and sometimes use a translator.
She let me know that this website has something called a mall. This should have been red flag number 2. You pay 1 American dollar for each gold point. Paypal is the only thing that works. When we started dating, she said it was normal for couples in Japan to send each other gifts. It was a symbol of forever love in Japan, she claimed. As an American, I didn’t know if this was true. I googled it and couldn’t get a clear answer. She said whatever I bought her, she would buy me as well. She asked if I liked necklaces or charms. I said anything was fine. She wanted me to pick up a necklace. At first, she picked up a $1,000 necklace from the site mall and asked me. I said no; that's way too much money for that. She said how about a 300-dollar Jade Romance charm. She told me to get her white one; she would get me the green one. I questioned if she was legit. She started crying. She somehow convinced me at the time that she was legit again. I did buy it. A few weeks later, I did receive the overpriced Green Jade Romance love charm to my address from her. I never told her which day exactly my tracking information said it would come to my house, but I asked her, and her tracking date was the same week as mine. By the way something almost the same as this necklace is 12 dollars on Amazon. It also broke when I got it in the mail. Probably cost them 2 cent to make.
For the next few days, we had a wonderful, happy conversation. It is late January, and I know Valentine's Day is coming. I offered to get her flowers. I got her flowers and chocolate at a very high price of multiple hundred dollars. She then gets so happy. She told me many times how she wanted to go to America and find me.
We talked about many topics for several more days. She told me she worked in an office in Tokyo. Yomi told me her real name was Miyuki Miyamoto. Which is very funny because I told her before I was a Nintendo fan, and this is the same last name as Mario and Zelda Creator. She also said she had her apartment to herself, which is true; she does own an apartment. She talked about how life is stressful right now in Japan. She claimed to have grown up in the Japanese town of Nagano, Japan. She also said she had gone to a university in Tokyo with a major in computer science. She wanted to visit America in July for 15 days when she had her time off. July is a normal time for people to get off in Japan for vacation, so I thought nothing of it.
I told her that I was from a smaller town in California, but I lived not far from San Francisco. I told her how my town is quiet and how I could see mountains outside my house. She said she wanted a peaceful life and that life in Tokyo is too fast. And she always had great things to say about every picture I sent. We also talk about going on dates. I asked most of the questions, but she did ask me questions as well.
I started to ask her a lot of questions about Japan. Like if she visited Himeji Castle, she said no. However, she did say yes to visiting Mount Fuji. I should have asked for a photo of this, but I didn’t. She was very happy; she told me very many topics about Japan. We even briefly talked about anime. She told me she liked Digimon, Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and Detective Conan. This information is important later. We also talked about how both of us were big Disney fans growing up. She told me she wanted to go to Disney Land when she came to California to visit me.
One day she told me, how work was busy today. I told her it was okay and we didn’t need to talk today. She did, however, still text me a little bit that day. This was the only day during our whole time talking when she was super busy. There is nothing wrong with this; all humans get busy. I decided to spend my evening drawing a picture of me and Yomi on a date to surprise her. When I sent it to her, she did not react. This was a red flag for me. I tried to convince myself that she just didn’t like drawings that much. I know I sound really dumb right here, but whoever I was talking to is very smart and knows a lot of things. I was in deep love.
We started talking a few days later about the idea of meeting and going on dates together. I know that the yen is weak against the American dollar right now. I told them I would pay for anything they wanted when they were in America because I was in love. This was a big, big, big mistake. They then asked if I could give them 1500 dollars to buy a plane ticket. Never give money to people you never meet in real life, folks. Don’t be dumb like me. Turns out the ticket was actually 2100, so they asked for another 500 dollars the next day, claiming their friend let them borrow the money, and they paid the difference. They did show me a picture of a plane ticket. With the name Yomi and the correct airports in Tokyo and San Francisco. This gave me more trust in them; I got a lot of photos, videos, and even a picture of a plane ticket.
At some point, I talked to them about social media. They claim to only have Skype and Line. I found it very hard to believe a woman in her 20s wasn’t on Instagram or Tik Tok. I went on Instagram and typed Yomi, and I found a Yomi who looked just like her. This made me think: why did she lie? What confused me is that all the pictures on her Instagram were different from the ones she sent me, other than one image that was the same. Meaning that the images were not clearly stolen from there.
I looked up JPNDate online; there isn’t much info on this website (Right Now), other than one reddit forum from 1 year ago. Someone said something about being scammed by an IDOL on this site. They also said the website wasn’t in Japan but in China. I was wondering why I never saw new females joining the website; it was the same 23 pages worth of them. I wanted to test the website to see if it was legit. I made another account, a fake male account with AI artwork. It was approved in one second. I then made a fake female account; it said pending approval. It has now been 2 weeks since I made that account, and it still says pending approval. This means all the women on this website have to be fake actors. There is also a setting on JPNDate to see who has been online last or which accounts are the oldest. When I asked weeks before, Yomi claimed she had been on this website only for a short time. Her oldest picture was dated October 20, 2023. Yet she has the sixth-oldest account on JPNDate, according to the website. The Reddit forum I talked about before was over a year old.
When I was on this website for a month, at least 10 other women tried to text me. There was this one profile of a woman from Taiwan, age 20. She texted me three times in one month. When I joined, her age was listed as 20, and at some point, she changed her age to 25 on her profile. I ignored all these women. This proves again that all these women are fake. I do know these are women based on how they type, but they are not truthful like they act like they are. As I write this, I just realized this is Yomi's friend or sister; it matches the other Yomi account's sister tag. They are part of the same dance agency Aiu_Agency on Instagram from SW Entertainment in South Korea.
I knew this website wasn’t telling the truth. I found the JPNDate IP address and tracked it to a server in Hong Kong, China, hosted by Alibaba cloud servers. Reddit was right; the website is Chinese. However, Yomi is Korean which I learned later. I took pictures of the website code just in case. I asked Yomi if she knew Alibaba.
Then she asked if I’m going to China—a very strange follow-up question.
At this point, I was confused. Who is Yomi? I couldn’t find anything about Miyuki Miyamoto, only Yomi. On Yomi’s Instagram, she speaks Korean, not Japanese. I started to think there are no Japanese women on this website like they claim to be. She does speak Japanese, though.
I started using more than 10 different software programs to track who Yomi was since she kept asking me for money. I found like 1000 pictures of an idol, WeChat model, singer, dancer, person on endless Chinese dating sites, and a valiant professional gamer part of the AI’U agency for over 8 years. I found two other Instagram accounts with Yomi's face. Another account in Chinese with an idol name other than Yomi also had a Facebook page. The Chinese account has a post about her going to Australia in early 2024, where she is typing in English words. It was a fake trip. I also found an account where she speaks only Korean on Instagram. I also found a tik-tok where someone dances and looks 100% the same as Yomi, to whom I’m talking. The part that is crazy is that none of the images are 100% the same, but the person is the same in all of them.
This shocked me; I follow all the accounts. I saw the stories daily to see who this person was. Her Yomi account is just her normal pictures and atm company or something. Her Korean account is about traveling to Singapore, Spain, and South Korea. She also posts a lot about Disney toys here. When I talked to the scammer about Disney, I had no idea about this.
At this point, I knew that many men had been scammed out of money for fake love, not just me. These women are real women. However, there are actors pretending to be in love. They will crush your heart and call you names after a few weeks if you don’t buy their stuff. It has to be from JPNdate Mall only, nowhere else. JPNdate Mall prices are crazy high. I am not sure if the point of the website is just for money or if it is actually for women to study English or what. Chinese women, pretending to be Japanese (most of them), that have connections to Korean music, dancing, and gaming on professional teams. Man, what a hell of a story this is. This sounds like a Hollywood movie, but it's real, or at least partly. At this point, everything I say seems to be true based on what I know. They are connected deeply with SW Entertainment.
Yomi told me early on that she had one older sister and one younger brother. It seems like she is actually a twin, and she is the younger sister. Or it’s her friend she calls a sister from the dance Aiu Agency. Yomi claims to be 25, but I think she is closer to 27 or 28 based on finding a listing of her work in 2015 at Twitch Gaming. You have to be 18 or older to work at Twitch gaming, unless your parents sign things. Unless this job is fake, I don’t know.
When I showed the pictures I found to Yomi on JPNdate, she played the victim card on me. Saying she thinks I’m a liar and she wants to break up. Then she gave me her Skype account to try to prove it was legit, and all the other images and accounts were stolen and fake. Her Skype name is Rose, with a One Piece picture. She sent me many voice clips, crying, trying to convince me that she was real. I put them in software, and the voice was 30% human, 70% AI. Clearly, a woman is changing her Chinese or Korean voice to sound Japanese. A PC gamer would know how to do this; they do it all the time to troll. Yomi told me she didn’t play video games anymore, but I found a picture that wasn’t that old of a woman who looked the same as her; she had a Nintendo Switch with a white OLED in it. Btw it’s a known fact that Yomi uses software to cheat in the Pc FPS games. We talk for a few more weeks on Skype.
I can’t let Yomi, her sister, whoever the man is (I think her lover), and her idol dance friends scam men for their time and money. Yomi Chiense's name is Vera Yuanxin (维拉). Her twin sister goes by veravera_zhangg.
Yomi “deleted her profile” when I exposed her. But One Yomi is still there with no pictures. Two they clearly have other accounts with people who look like she just changed hairstyle, talking and trying to scam other men.
Remember when I said the anime part was important? On Yomi's Korean account, she has a friend with whom she talks about Digimon. She gave him a Disney toy. She told me she wanted to cosplay a fox; his profile is a fox. There is just so much proof that these are the same people.
Later someone hit me up on Reddit from the Phillippines and told me how the same person Yomi scammed them. How for months Yomi promise them so many things. Then when they said it came to going on the plane to visit him they said they were sick or dying or something.
Yomi also made a fake Instagram pretending to be Joe Biden and sent me a friend invite. I messaged and it was so funny how bad it was on their part. I said “Yomi are you trolling me?” then they deleted their account. This was on April 6th, 2024. Yomi tries so hard but use a lot of cheap things that are clearly fake like ai artwork, bots for like at ai_u agency, and fake profiles where she comments herself and attacks anyone who calls her out fairly.
After exposing Jpndate they Ip ban my address lol. Then on social media joke about attacking me.
If you call out their BS they threaten your family and yourself. Just stay away from all these sites if you're going to date online use well-known legit sites. I contacted Paypal and me and JPNDate.com had many emails back and forth. They pretended to do an investigation on Yomi real identity and said she was really Miyuki Miyamoto. It was so bullshit. I told them I would sue them if they were lying, The site no longer exists. The scam does, however.
What happened After JPNDATE? April-June 2024
In April many fake Instagram accounts started following me each day. They are romance scams I never got them like this before. I didn’t fall for any of them. All or most were likely Yomi and her friends. Paypal did get me 4000 of 4080 dollars back but it took 6 weeks and multiple emails. JPNDate tells me they will be closing soon after PayPal went after them hard.
Like I said I just wanted to find love. I made some stupid decisions along the way. However, I want to find out the truth and make sure other men don’t get scammed by them. I keep messaging Yomi's skype during this period, they never block me. They unfriended me but I could still send messages I wasn’t blocked. They even responded 2 times out of the 50 times I did this in the multiple-week span.
I contacted the Aiu_Agency on Instagram (It is the same people as JPNDate) they pretended to be different people. I told them about Jpndate. They called me a hero, they said they loved me, and they thanked me for sending them all the pictures that Yomi sent me on Jpndate and Skype. They follow me on Instagram for 2 days. Then they unfollowed me randomly for no reason. They said their agency would do a police report and kill the scammer. I knew this was so bullshit. I told them how the scammers were making new profiles of them on Japan Cupid. Which is true. The leader Mingmei1344 (Which is Yomi Chinese account) claimed I was the scammer setting them up. She plays the victim card on me. I showed her all the messages and how I got the pictures, I didn’t steal anything. She told me her and her friends are okay if I hacked them, because I’m from the CIA. I am not from the CIA. It was a joke I made a few days before when she pretended to be a mob boss in Korea. I told her I am not a hacker. Right after that she and her friends all ban me other then Mingmei1344 account. Mingmei1344 Message me 1 more day, then block me.
However, Mingmei1344 and the Aiu_Agency keep posting things on topics I told them days or weeks before. I checked their old post they never talked about any of this before that. I told these to Yomi on JPNDate and skype not Mingmei1344 again proving it is the same person. They look the same as well. Like the blue feather concept in love mythology, Gundams, Nintendo, Persona, and many many other topics. Yomi claimed to not know anything about videogames before I talked about it with her. I think this is partly a lie.
This confuses me so I make fake Instagram accounts to message Mingmei1344 and Aiu_agency. She replies to my messages and Mingmei1344 even does a ask me a question thing on Instagram and replies to all of them. She clearly knows these accounts are from me Mark however she replies anyway. The replies were nice and positive things. Then later she bans them all again.
Often Aiu-Agency Women (Yomi and her friends, Mostly Yomi) pretend to go to countries they are not actually in the picture, it’s all greenscreen effects. They also use Ai for Music covers Artwork. For music covers they pretend to sell millions of copies of but there is nowhere to buy such a music cover CD they claim to sell. Their music covers are claimed to be from popular songs kpop songs. I looked, at least not right now such CDs aren’t real. Of course, the songs are real but not their covers. Yomi is most of the women in the pictures but not all. They will post Ai cover artwork, multiple pictures of them using the greenscreen effect, then put a high-quality image of a famous Korean male singer. They never took these pictures of these Korean male singers. They download them and edit them. They pretend to perform with them but it is all fake. Mingmei1344 started always putting her with all the famous Mark’s in Korea. Only her not her staff with Mark’s. I think it’s a reference to me. She didn’t do this before meeting me I looked at her old post. Again Mingmei1344 is Yomi who is Jeong Nahyeon, who pretends to be Miyuki Miyamoto.
She still references me sometimes in other ways and I send them messages to see what will happen next. One time I wrote about loving her to see what she would say. I do love Yomi, however I don’t want anyone to get scammed. I told her we could travel across the world together. She wrote in her next post on Aiu_agency on Instagram she liked this future with her future husband. It was a direct reply to what I asked the day before.
I joined DateSteady after being contacted by a woman on Japan cupid. She is very interested in me and Yomi so I tell her everything.

2024.06.09 14:14 TheKruszer Is There Really No Way to Reach TD Bank's Legal Department? (On ODSP, trying to prevent seizure of my dental fund savings by Quebec court mandate)

The TD Branch manager, their customer service department... they all say there's no way to contact TD's legal department and that they'll only deal with the courts. Is this true? I've got a letter from a lawyer stating that ODSP funds cannot be garnished or seized. But there seems to be no way to get the information to TD that I'm on ODSP and that the mandate from the Quebec court to seize the entirety of my dental fund savings is therefore not valid. Any direction on this would be appreciated, as the funds are to be garnished Tuesday and over the past 15 days, I've not been able to secure a Quebec lawyer to fight back.
For backstory: A Quebec court order resulted in my bank account being frozen 13 days ago, they're two days away from garnishing all the funds I've been painstakingly saving up for dental implants after losing nearly all my teeth to a lifetime of poverty and health issues.
I live in Ontario but have a debt with the Quebec government from back when I lived across the river and received welfare. At the time, I was trying to start a non profit organization and received a few thousand dollars from friends and acquaintances who believed in my goal to eventually get off assistance by starting something that could eventually lead to gainful employment. I was nowhere near the point of even covering the organization's expenses (much of which I paid out of pocket or put on my credit cards) but I received a few thousand dollars over several years, from friends and acquaintance who believed in my vision. These were funds given to me in trust for the explicit use of activism, recruitment materials, and travel to conferences to generate further interest in the project.
Unfortunately, the Quebec government claimed that these funds were "undeclared income". They claimed I was therefore not eligible for government assistance during the months I had "too much income" and they demanded those months of welfare support back. It goes without saying that if I had used the funds for my own personal expenses, as the government claims I should've done, that I would've betrayed the trust of those who donated to my vision. But I couldn't convince the government of that.
After they combed through several years of bank statements, the government came up with a amount of more than $5000 that they wanted to reclaim for months they considered me ineligible for assistance. In many instances their calculations were flawed, claiming amounts that I had already declared and received legitimately (for instance an honorarium plus flight reimbursement that they claimed I didn't report, in spite of several letters back and forth proving the contrary). In other cases, GST and tax rebate checks were counted against me when these are supposed to be exempt!
I never got my day in court. Due to disability, I missed my 2022 court date at the Tribunal Administrative du Quebec (TAQ) and a decision was rendered against me in my absence. I didn't know that my legal aid lawyer could've requested a new date, given that it was disability related absence, nor that I had the option to protest the decision at a higher court within a "reasonable delay" (considered to be 30-60 days). I felt the frustration at never having had the chance to clear my name and prove I'd done nothing wrong, but I thought that so long as I lived in Ontario, the undeserved debt with the Quebec government would stay in Quebec.
It wasn't until 2 weeks ago, when I discovered my groceries were no longer showing up, that I learned my account had been frozen and that the Quebec government plans to seize more than $10,000 (nearly double the principle in interest fees and court fees!) which I had been painstakingly saving for future dental restorations over many years.
On ODSP we're allowed to receive gifts/loans up to $10,000 per year and having up to $40,000 in savings. I'm well below those limits. The problem is that while ODSP funds (hopefully) can't be garnished, gifts and loans might not be exempt. I also received some federal student grants (yet another fruitless attempt at improving my state in life) which I may not have entirely spent down, as I was holding off on big expenses for school, like a new computer and still have courses I need to retake. I'm going to need at least $30,000 or $40,000 to replace what a lifetime of undiagnosed disabilities and on-off homeless cost my teeth, so I can't afford to lose any of this $10,000!
I have had 15 days to try to find help with all this. On the Ontario side I now have the aforementioned letters from a probono lawyer and from my ODSP worker that I have no means of delivering to anyone in power at the bank. On the Quebec side, I'd hoped Legal Aid Quebec, whom I finally had an appointment with Friday, would file a motion with the Quebec court to oppose the seizure. Instead, they told me they can't help me cause I have "too much funds in my account to be eligible for legal aid". That's right, the account that's bloody FROZEN and about to be DRAINED by Quebec if nobody intervenes is preventing me from getting legal assistance! While it's frozen I can't even access bank transcripts to prove my income and expenditures. But I'm supposed to somehow use that non-accessible money to hire a lawyer at the 11th hour?!
It hasn't escaped my notice that both the Quebec government and now Legal Aid Quebec are perpetuating the same injustice. The latter wants me to take funds GIVEN IN TRUST for medical reasons, to fight a claimed debt that I incurred as a result of funds GIVEN IN TRUST for a nonprofit startup a decade ago. In both cases, those funds weren't mine to use on anything other than their specific stated intent.
This is what it's like to try to navigate life and finances with a disability, all while trying your hardest over several difficult decades to improve your lot in life. Justice isn't blind, she's just too prejudiced to see disabled people as anything other than criminals who deserve a life sentence of absolute poverty.
Thank you in advance for any helpful information!

Benefits of Using Captcha Solvers for Efficiently Solving CAPTCHAs

https://preview.redd.it/p4xuw8sgbj5d1.png?width=6912&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7ef61340805da94b2721fd5c0526ec757806173

Introduction

CAPTCHAs are a common security measure used by websites to distinguish between human users and automated bots. While effective at preventing spam and abuse, CAPTCHAs can also be frustrating and time-consuming for legitimate users. This is where Captcha solvers come in, offering a technological solution to automate and streamline the process of solving CAPTCHAs. In this article, we'll explore the numerous benefits of using Captcha solvers to efficiently solve CAPTCHAs.

Understanding CAPTCHAs

What is a CAPTCHA?

CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. It is a challenge-response test used to determine whether the user is human or an automated bot.

Types of CAPTCHAs

CAPTCHAs come in various forms:
Text-based CAPTCHAs: Require users to type in distorted text shown in an image.
Image-based CAPTCHAs: Ask users to identify objects within a series of images.
reCAPTCHAs: A more advanced form developed by Google that involves identifying images or clicking checkboxes.

Purpose of CAPTCHAs

The primary purpose of CAPTCHAs is to protect websites from spam and automated abuse by ensuring that only humans can perform certain actions, such as creating accounts or posting comments.

The Role of Captcha Solvers

What are Captcha Solvers?

Captcha solvers are software tools or services designed to automatically solve CAPTCHAs. They use various techniques, including Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and machine learning, to interpret and solve the challenges presented by CAPTCHAs.

How Captcha Solvers Work

Captcha solvers analyze CAPTCHA images or challenges using algorithms. For text-based CAPTCHAs, OCR technology decodes the text, while machine learning models identify objects in image-based CAPTCHAs.

Benefits of Using Captcha Solvers

1. Time Efficiency

One of the most significant benefits of using Captcha solvers is the time saved. Manually solving CAPTCHAs can be a tedious and time-consuming process, especially when dealing with multiple CAPTCHAs. Captcha solvers can handle this task quickly and efficiently, allowing users to focus on more important tasks.

2. Increased Productivity

By automating the CAPTCHA-solving process, Captcha solvers increase overall productivity. Businesses that rely on web scraping, data entry, or other automated tasks can benefit significantly from the efficiency offered by Captcha solvers.

3. High Accuracy

Modern Captcha solvers, powered by advanced technologies like OCR and machine learning, offer high accuracy rates. This reduces the chances of errors and ensures that CAPTCHAs are solved correctly on the first attempt.

4. Cost-Effectiveness

While some Captcha solvers are paid services, the cost is often justified by the time and effort saved. Additionally, many Captcha solvers offer affordable pricing plans, making them accessible to small businesses and individual users.

5. Scalability

Captcha solvers are designed to handle large volumes of CAPTCHAs efficiently. This scalability is particularly beneficial for businesses that need to process many CAPTCHAs regularly.

6. User Convenience

For individual users, Captcha solvers offer a convenient solution to the frustration of dealing with CAPTCHAs. This convenience is especially valuable for users with disabilities who may find CAPTCHAs challenging to solve manually.

7. Enhanced Security

Using Captcha solvers can also enhance security by ensuring that automated tasks are completed without human intervention. This reduces the risk of human error and potential security breaches.

8. Integration with Automation Tools

Captcha solvers can be easily integrated with various automation tools and software, enhancing their functionality and making them a vital part of any automation workflow.

Conclusion

Using Captcha solvers for efficiently solving CAPTCHAs offers numerous benefits, including time efficiency, increased productivity, high accuracy, cost-effectiveness, scalability, user convenience, enhanced security, and easy integration with automation tools. By understanding how Captcha solvers work and following best practices for their setup and use, you can effectively bypass CAPTCHAs while minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency.
I used to spend a lot of money and time dealing with CAPTCHAs until I discovered CaptchaAI. It has saved me both time and money. With CaptchaAI, I only pay $00.01 for every 1,000 CAPTCHAs, a deal unmatched anywhere else. Additionally, CaptchaAI offers a 7-day free trial and unlimited solutions for all types of CAPTCHAs, CaptchaAI uses AI-powered OCR technology to efficiently solve these challenges, taking just 1 second for normal CAPTCHAs including image Captcha solving, and 10-30 seconds, for complex ones like reCaptcha solving service and hCaptcha, with an impressive accuracy rate of 99.9%. The service's speed and precision have transformed my experience with CAPTCHAs.

2024.06.09 12:06 Meznidodatecnost PowerApps with basic AAD account vs PowerPages authed user

Hi Everyone,
I need a quick and cheap solution for my client. They literally need just a platform where their customers can enter scans of documents and information about it. 5 attributes per record + attachment.
Needs to be accessible from the internet, have user authenticated, collect the records and save it on sharepoint or anyone. Forecasted high volume of data, low number of customers. They have AAD, any almost all of the MS services, except for the power platfrom.
My question is, just so that it's the best cost/UX ratio, would you recommend:
  1. PowerApps + AAD accounts
  2. PowerPages + AAD accounts
  3. Custom Lightweight Website
  4. Other solution?
Any answer is appreciated!

2024.06.09 11:26 Skressinmajor Breakdown of initial investment getting back into MTG and MH3 Speculation.

Hey yall, longtime lurker checking in.
I just got back into MTG after a 12 year hiatus and decided that Modern Constructed was for me. I am aiming to build up a collection and invest smartly while developing 1-2 competitive Modern Constructed decks. I love MH3's roster and decided now was the time! I played two events and won two packs both times, for a total of 16 opened play boosters + 2 promo foils. Day one I pulled fetches and had garbage deck, overall happy with value, 1-2. Great deck with less value day two, 2-1.
Cost Breakdown 2x 100$ Entry Fees 1x 35$ Playmat 1x 25$ Dice Set 1x 18$ Trusty Pack of Dragon Shield Sleeves 1x 18$ Trusty Hard Plastic Deck Box for Value Cards. 3x 4$ Trusty Redbulls from the LGS fridge to get me through. ______________________________________________________________________
=300$ Invested in the weekend I decided to throw my life away on paper crack again. Had so much fun playing Pre-Release.
Link is what I went home with after day two (Minimal Trades)
______________________________________________________________________
Pull Value Breakdown https://imgur.com/gallery/two-pre-release-pulls-p50fzG9
1x Azlask, the Swelling Scourge (Borderless) - 10$ 2x Abstruse Appropriation - 6$ 1x Command of Kozilek (Foil) - 8$ 1x Abstruse Appropriation (Foil) -4$ 1x Herigast, Erupting Nullkite - 10$ 1x Echoes of Eternity - 12$ 2x Sink into Stupor - 4$ 2x Consign to Memory - 2$ 1x Triton Wavebreaker - 1$ 1x Triton Wavebraker Foil -2$ 1x Laelia, the Blade Forged -3$ 1x Phelia, Exuberant Sheperd - 5$ 1x Detective's Phoenix - 2$ 1x Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student - 25$ 1x Prismatic Ending (Borderless) - 10$ 1x Spymaster's Vault - 2$ 1x Urza's Cave - 3$ 1x Monumental Henge (Foil) -3 $ 1x Bloodstained Mire - 10$ 1x Flooded Strand - 12$ 1x Polluted Delta - 10$ 2x Snow-Covered Wastes - 3$ 2x Cephalid Coliseum - 3$ ______________________________________________________________________
For a total value of 150$ (20% taken off of website retail prices, and another dollar shaved off here and there to be conservative on cards I think are gonna tank hard, dollar uncommons etc.) Verrrrrrry happy with my value here as even with how powerful the set was a lot of people around me were opening up 100% bunk. Thank you RNGesus. ________________________________________________________________________
Trade Breakdown It was pretty dry for trades, but I traded 2 Cephalid Coliseum for a playset of 'Master of the Pearl Trident", and picked up a Foil Vexing Bauble in exchange for a Foil Command of Kozilek. Not Bad. People traded me some Full Art lands in exchange for the new tokens, and I felt pretty good about all three minor trades. Trade value profit of about 3$.
_________________________________________________________________________
Speculation
I know this is a finance sub, but I will include that I am developing merfolk and a red/white energy brew to play competitively in Modern Constructed and I think both these decks will see some new tech explode with some time. Playing competitively and winning packs is part of my finance strategy and so I thought including speculation of the meta may be relevant as it both directly and indirectly effects the meta. Black White Scam is very strong and Cthulu Eldrazi archetypes have yet to be tapped into fully.
Going up: Eldrazi, Strong Commander Candidates such as Laelia/Phelia/Azlask, Abstruse Appropriation is underrated currently and will find a place in meta I think.
Going down: Dollar Uncommons are only so due to short supply.
TLDR - Made most of my entry costs back on fetch, Planeswalker and uncommon value LMAO. Let me know if I fucked up on my valuations, or you think my speculations are whack. I just got back into the game and would welcome all feedback on how I move towards the cards I need for Modern Constructed. (Staples such as Multavaults, Gemstone Caverns, Merfolk Staples ETC).

Ixigo IPO Analysis
Business
Ixigo, started in 2007, as a flight comparison website enabled travellers to research and compare relevant price information and book their preferred flight in a cost-efficient and informed manner from OTAs. Ixigo later graduated to OTA( Online Travel Agent) in FY20. Ixigo is the 2nd largest OTA( Online Travel Agent) in terms of revenues, with 6% market share.
They operate through 4 different apps Ixigo flights,Ixigo trains, ConfirmTkt and AbhiBus. Ixigo is the largest Indian train ticket distributor in the OTA rail market with largest market share of around 51%, in terms of rail bookings, among OTAs. Their bus-focused app, AbhiBus, was the second largest bus-ticketing OTA in India, with a 11.5% market share in online bus ticket bookings in FY23. They had a market share in India of about 5.2% of the total airline OTA market by volume in H1 FY24. They have the highest app usage among OTAs with 83 million Monthly Active Users cumulatively across our apps. However, within each of their apps, they integrate and cross-sell all services they operate to ensure that users may not necessarily require another app ,like users can book a flight on the ixigo train app or ConfirmTkt and a bus journey on the ixigo flight app, and a train ticket on the AbhiBus app allowing them to discover and buy multiple travel services.
Product segments
1. Airline ticketing
Ixigo commenced operations in 2007 in the flight vertical by launching a travel meta-search website - providing aggregated comparison of deals and accurate travel information. Later in FY20, they transitioned to an OTA.
2. Rail
They launched the ixigo trains app for android in 2013 as a utility app with the objective of improving the experience of Indian train travellers by allowing them to search for train related information and providing utility services. Subsequently, in 2017, Ixigo started selling train tickets through their Ixigo trains app.
3. Bus tickets
Bus accounts for 70% of transport modes in India. Ixigo sells bus tickets by partnering either directly with operators or source inventory from bus ticketing aggregators in the country.They acquired the business of AbhiBus in 2021 to further consolidate their position.

2024.06.09 11:11 TheAlmightyDonald What is the cost of loyalty in Australia? For Optus it's $13 and 120Gigabytes

What is the cost of loyalty in Australia? For Optus it's $13 and 120Gigabytes
I want to give a reminder to everyone to review your contracts on a timely basis. I finally paid of my phone contract and have been with Optus for about 5 years.
I went to change plans and on their website they offer a 500gb $69 plan. When I went to switch I was told this is only for new members. The best they could offer me is 360gb for $82. The terms and conditions they show don't even say its new customers only. They literally lied in their advertising to everyone.
This is the cost of loyalty. Because I've been a loyal customer through numerous issues, data breaches, outages and I am STILL a customer, optus expects me to pay more for less than a new customer. This is finally the straw to make me move all of my accounts
Never forget to check, no corporation is loyal.

2024.06.09 11:10 Average_IRA_Sup231 Help budgeting for my trip to Tasmania

For my 18th i plan on going on a 5-7 day hike through Western Arthur Range Traverse with my mate. As this is my first time having to budget for such a large venture i wanted to run it through some experienced people just to see if my aim is on.
So far I have done a rough draft of a budget, totalling up to $1,418.8.
Spirit of Tasmania = $410
Park Pass for 1 vehicle 1 month = $89.50 (from the Parks & Wildlife Service Tasmania website)
I own a 2004 Subaru Outback, which costs me on my last servo run $73.10, which ive decided to multiply by 3 to account for any extra costs = 219.3
Food and provisions = $200
My mate doesnt quite have the right ammount of gear for this trip so i've given an extra $200 for any gear that needs to be bought/replaced
and for any extra costs i've given an ammount of $300 just incase
If anyone who is a seasoned traveller to Tasmania could tell me where i need to added funds or take away I would be very thankfull.

2024.06.09 10:25 roacsonofcarc Contractions as a marker for Tolkien's different literary styles: A quasi-scientific sketch

It is apparent to anyone who pays attention that Tolkien in LotR and in The Hobbit uses more than one literary style. (In fact, he has more than one.) Hobbits talk like his contemporaries (“‘My dear old hobbit, you don’t allow for the inquisitiveness of friends”). Elves, and Dwarves, and Men of ancient kingdoms use phrases and grammar we only encounter in old books (“Kings made tombs more splendid than houses of the living, and counted old names in the rolls of their descent dearer than the names of sons”).
So much is obvious; what is not obvious is how to describe the differences systematically. I have been thinking about this off and on for quite a while, and it occurs to me that one reliable marker is the use of contractions.
Since not everybody here is a native English speaker, it may be worth explaining what those are (though probably most students learn about them early on). English word combinations like “did not,” “will not,” “would not” are usually “contracted,“ in everyday speech and writing, to “didn't,” “won't,” and “wouldn't.” The apostrophe represents the vowel in “not,” which is dropped. But contractions are disfavored in formal discourse, such as academic or official writing.
It occurs to me that the presence or absence of contractions is probably as good a marker as can be found for the difference between Tolkien's informal and elevated styles. Hobbits, including Gollum, use contractions all the time. (So do Orcs.) Characters like Gandalf and Aragorn, who move easily in and out of the hobbit world, routinely use contractions when they are in it. But Elves such as Gildor do not, even in conversation with hobbits. Nor do the men of Gondor or of Rohan. (I believe contractions occur only in dialogue in any case; Tolkien as impersonal narrator always writes “did not” rather than “didn't.”)
A rigorous test would take more work than I am going to put in now. But for a first approximation, I searched my electronic text of LotR for the string “n't”.1 It occurs 1,157 times. But what seems to validate the hypothesis is that there are four significant stretches where it is not found at all.
Frodo says near the end of “The breaking of the Fellowship,” “I don't suppose we shall see them again.” There are no more “n't” contractions until Pippin, in “The Uruk-hai.” wakes up and starts talking to himself – from pages 406 to 444. In other words, there are none in “The Departure of Boromir” or “The Riders of Rohan” – because there are no hobbits.
There are no "n't" contractions in any of the chapters about Rohan/Helm's Deep (pp. 494 to 560), Gandalf, in a seeming exception to the general rule, says “don't” to Aragorn and his companions when they are taking him for Saruman. But then contractions do not return until Merry and Pippin are found at the gates of Isengard.
The next stretch without "n't" contractions is the account of the siege and relief of Minas Tirith. It begins with the departure of the Rohirrim from Dunharrow, and continues until Pippin tells Gandalf about Denethor's madness and asks “Can't you do something?” (pp. 800-851).
Finally, Gimli and Legolas use no contractions in describing Aragorn's relief of Minas Tirith, and there are none in “The Black Gate Opens” (pp. 874-901). And there do not seem to be any contractions in the Appendices, which contain no dialogue between hobbits to speak of.
1 “Not” is far from being the only English word that is frequently contracted. “It is” contracts to “it's”; “we will” becomes “we'll”; “we had,” “we'd.” But “n't” is probably good enough for a first iteration.

Auto Insurance Discounts and How to Qualify
https://preview.redd.it/0jy6dj1bth5d1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c1b07e4fa97746c2036dc75d7baad8490c9b44f
Securing auto insurance is essential for all drivers, but it doesn't need to be prohibitively expensive. Many insurance companies offer a range of auto insurance discounts that can significantly lower your premium. Understanding these discounts and knowing how to qualify for them can help you save money while maintaining comprehensive coverage. This guide outlines the most common discounts and the steps you need to take to benefit from them.
Common Auto Insurance Discounts
  • Safe Driver Discounts
    • Overview: Insurance companies reward drivers with clean driving records. If you have no accidents or traffic violations, you can benefit from lower premiums.
    • How to Qualify: Maintain a clean driving record, follow traffic laws, and avoid accidents.
  • Good Student Discounts
    • Overview: Many insurers offer discounts to students who excel academically, as they are seen as responsible and less risky drivers.
    • How to Qualify: Typically, you need to be a full-time student with a minimum GPA (usually 3.0 or higher). Provide your insurer with proof of your academic performance.
  • Multi-Policy Discounts
    • Overview: Bundling multiple insurance policies (such as home and auto) with the same company can result in significant savings.
    • How to Qualify: Purchase multiple policies from the same insurer. Often, this can be done easily through an agent or online.
  • Multi-Car Discounts
    • Overview: Insuring more than one vehicle with the same company can lower your overall premium.
    • How to Qualify: Add multiple vehicles to your insurance policy. Ensure all cars are registered under the same household.
  • Low Mileage Discounts
    • Overview: If you drive less than the average number of miles per year, you might be eligible for a discount.
    • How to Qualify: Provide your insurer with an estimate of your annual mileage. Some companies may require you to install a device that tracks your mileage.
  • Defensive Driving Course Discounts
    • Overview: Completing a defensive driving course demonstrates your commitment to safe driving and can lower your insurance costs.
    • How to Qualify: Enroll in and complete a state-approved defensive driving course. Submit your completion certificate to your insurance company.
  • Vehicle Safety Features Discounts
    • Overview: Cars equipped with modern safety features such as anti-lock brakes, airbags, and anti-theft devices often qualify for discounts.
    • How to Qualify: When purchasing or insuring a vehicle, inform your insurer about all safety features. Provide documentation if necessary.
How to Maximize Your Savings
  • Shop Around: Different insurers offer different discounts. Compare quotes from multiple companies to find the best combination of coverage and savings.
  • Ask About Discounts: Sometimes discounts are not automatically applied. Ask your insurer about all possible discounts and how to qualify for them.
  • Review Your Policy Annually: Your eligibility for discounts may change over time. Regularly review your policy and update your insurer about any changes in your driving habits or circumstances.
Conclusion
Understanding and qualifying for auto insurance discounts can lead to substantial savings on your premiums. By being aware of the various discounts available and taking proactive steps to meet their criteria, you can reduce your insurance costs without compromising on coverage. Always stay informed and communicate with your insurance provider to ensure you are maximizing your potential savings.

2024.06.09 08:10 SADLIFE640 My huge mistake. Please help me guys!!

So, there was a guy in telegram who told in groups that he will register for the SAT by using his card at a cheap amount ( for registering SAT in June, it used to cost around 13,700 Nepali rupees converting from 103 USD but he said that he will only charge 11,500 Nepali rupees) and the next thing he said that he will only take payment after registering SAT from my college board account. so, this particular point made me to blindly trust him ,which out of dumbness, I did (because I didn't know at that time that the payment made by dollar card can be cancelled if the card holder wants), then he registered for my SAT and I paid him the same amount he told me. This happened on 4th May, 2024, time passed on, I gave my SAT test on 1st June, 2024 which was not that good what I had expected but still considering my very less concentration and overconfident approach towards SAT, it is completely justified, then suddenly on 4th June, 2024, I got an e-mail from college board telling me to pay my past due balance to college board, I was confused then I asked that guy (who registered for my SAT) about the e-mail he said me that It was a bug and This happens very rarely, I trusted him and I forgot about this e-mail but the next day, he asked for my college board ID and password so at that time I felt that something is fishy here then with the help of my other telegram friends, we threatened him that we will do a police complaint against him till that time too he was like this is not my fault but after some cuss words and verbal abuse, he said that he will pay back all the money which I had paid him which he indeed paid and the money matter was solved. And the next problem is the link college board sent me to pay my due balance is showing error. I e-mailed college board several times regarding this issue but still no proper response.

🔗Tough Vault Takedown Rifle & Shotgun Case by Pelican


https://preview.redd.it/a5n1lbp0lh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6962112969811c18ea0ab45c3ccd79aa58f0af68
I recently discovered the Pelican V700 Vault Takedown Rifle and Shotgun Case, and it's truly a game changer for transportation of your beloved firearms. As an avid hunter, I appreciate that this case provides a high level of security, offering crushproof, dustproof, and weather resistant protection. The sturdy handles ensure your rifles or shotguns can withstand even the toughest conditions on your hunting trips.
One feature I particularly love is the presence of six push button latches that offer secure closure with easy-open access. This ensures your weapons are safe and secure while also making it convenient for you to access them when needed. The case also comes with specific foam designed to fit takedown firearms and related accessories, providing your gear with excellent protection during transportation.
However, like any product, there are some cons as well. The case is quite bulky and heavy, making it less ideal for those looking for a lightweight solution. Additionally, cutting and shaping the foam to fit your specific equipment can be time-consuming. Overall, despite its drawbacks, I would highly recommend this gun case to anyone in need of a reliable and resilient transportation solution for their takedown firearms.

🔗Stylish Sleeper Chair for Modern Spaces


https://preview.redd.it/prafq381lh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=454a0a8eefff6312263437f6583f7a604b7c28f9
I recently acquired the Vaultek LifePod Rugged Airtight Weather-Resistant Storage, and it's been an incredibly useful addition to my daily routine. As a frequent traveler, I was in desperate need of a secure, portable safe, and the LifePod has more than lived up to my expectations. Its sleek design and compact size make it perfect for storing everything from my passport and wallet to my concealed carry gun.
The LifePod's solid construction and high-quality materials provide excellent protection against bumps and impacts, while its touch-activated LED keypad makes locking and unlocking the safe a breeze. I also appreciate the added security of its built-in locking system, which prevents lock picking attempts and adds an extra layer of protection.
One minor drawback is the LifePod's size, which may be too small for those looking to store larger items. However, I've found the compact dimensions to be an advantage when it comes to traveling light and discreetly. Additionally, the safe's lanyard tether ensures that it stays securely attached to a fixed object, further deterring potential thieves.
Overall, I'm extremely happy with my Vaultek LifePod Rugged Airtight Weather-Resistant Storage. Its combination of portability, security, and ease of use make it the perfect companion for anyone who needs to keep their valuables safe while on the go.

🔗Stylish and Secure LifePod 2.0


https://preview.redd.it/47rdefk1lh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25ba901e0782e1e8dbe65071e677fba336235235
I recently got my hands on the Vaultek Safe LifePod 2.0 in sleek black. As a travel enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for secure storage solutions that are easy to use and compact enough to carry around. This little safe has been a game-changer for me.
The LifePod 2.0 is made from a proprietary blend of materials that offer excellent strength while keeping it lightweight. Its dual side compression latches ensure secure closure, and the interior rubber gasket seals off the contents from dust and water. It's capable of submerging in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes without any damage, which impressed me.
One of the highlights of using this product is its ample storage capacity. It can easily accommodate full-sized guns and their accessories, including holsters and extra mags. The removable interior tray is also a nice touch, allowing me to customize the layout according to my needs.
However, there were a few minor hiccups during my experience. The touch-activated capacitive keypad sometimes requires more than one try to unlock the safe, which can be frustrating if you're in a hurry. Additionally, I found that the included padding wasn't enough to prevent my items from moving around inside the safe.
Despite these minor drawbacks, I'm overall very happy with the Vaultek Safe LifePod 2.0. Its sturdy construction, water-resistant design, and the peace of mind it brings make it an excellent choice for anyone who needs secure on-the-go storage for their valuables.

🔗Ultimate Guitar Rifle Case for Discreet Transport


https://preview.redd.it/m8xua2a2lh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f458ba566dca5d31c5ddfa04946d1d600064be3
I've been using the Savior Equipment Ultimate Guitar Rifle Case to keep my rifle safe and secure during transportation. This case has been a lifesaver, providing discreet protection that doesn't draw unwanted attention. One of the best features is the fully customizable foam inserts that let me configure the case to fit my specific gear perfectly. With three inserts included, I can easily switch between two different layouts depending on the trip.
The high-impact polymer outer shell and enclosed wheels make it easy to transport my rifle without any hassle. The six lock-ready latches add an extra layer of security, giving me peace of mind when traveling with my firearm. The only downside I've noticed is the need to purchase locks separately, but overall, I couldn't be happier with my investment in this case.

🔗Hybrid EVA Pistol Case with Lockable Zipper


https://preview.redd.it/i1zp63n2lh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee0a8d992c445bab5306053bfd84f689147b7ab5
I've been using the Plano Stealth Eva Pistol Case for about a month now, and I must say, it's been a game-changer in how I store and transport my 5" pistol. The case has a lightweight EVA construction which is both durable and easy to carry, making it perfect for those trips to the shooting range or when I'm traveling.
The highlight of this case would definitely be the high-density, interlocking foam that secures my contents perfectly in place. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my valued possession is well protected. The lockable zipper pulls are another feature I love; they add an extra layer of security.
However, one downside could be the size - it might not fit all types of pistols or additional accessories comfortably. But, for its purpose and design, the Plano Stealth Eva Pistol Case does its job exceptionally well.

🔗Evolution Outdoor 42" EVA Tactical Rifle Case


https://preview.redd.it/uao31703lh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a8979d6ff5b907199d140c52701acafb6b648b3
I recently purchased the Evolution Outdoor 42" EVA Tactical Single Rifle Case for a safe and secure way to transport my rifle to and from the range. I must say, it has been a game-changer. The first thing that caught my eye was the matte-finish EVA shell, which not only looks sleek but also provides excellent durability. The impact-resistant, heavy-gauge foam padding ensures my rifle remains protected from bumps and scratches.
One of my favorite features is the interior hook-and-loop tie straps that keep my rifle snugly in place. And with the soft debossed fleece lining, I can rest assured that my rifle's finish stays flawless. To store my accessories, I really appreciate the 2 interior zip pockets.
The 2 paracord-tab zippers make it easy to open and close the main compartment, while the tubed carry handles provide a comfortable grip for transporting the case. Overall, I am incredibly satisfied with the quality and functionality of this rifle case. It's definitely worth the investment for any serious shooter.
On the flip side, while the case provides excellent protection, it can be a bit bulky and cumbersome to carry for extended periods. Additionally, I wish there were more external compartments or pockets for storing shooting essentials.
In conclusion, the Evolution Outdoor 42" EVA Tactical Single Rifle Case has been an excellent addition to my shooting gear. Its durable construction, impact-resistant foam padding, and secure interior features make it stand out among other rifle cases. However, its size and lack of external storage options may be a drawback for some users.

🔗Plano Rustrictor 36" All Weather Rifle Case


https://preview.redd.it/jakmi5f3lh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fe83e0a9c5cac0eb8a9410fcf93a124501f7919
Imagine you're an avid hunter about to embark on a long-awaited trip. You have your rifle, ammo, and your Plano Rustrictor AW2 36 Rifle Case. This case has been your trusted companion during numerous adventures, protecting your precision tool from anything the great outdoors can throw at it.
The moment I unboxed the Rustrictor AW2 36, I was immediately struck by its robust, hard exterior. The dual-stage lockable latches and Dri-Loc seal promised to keep my rifle dry and dust-free in all weather conditions. And they truly delivered! On one particularly grueling expedition, heavy rains poured down but my rifle remained perfectly dry within the case.
What I especially appreciated was the pressure release valve that helped balance the air pressure during temperature or altitude changes. This feature ensures that there's no vacuum seal or bulging when I open the case, a problem I've faced with other brands.
As for the Rustrictor technology, it's been a game-changer. The special treatment applied to the foam effectively wards off rust and corrosion, keeping my rifle in top condition, ready for any hunting scenario.
There's one minor downside though. The removable foam isn't attached to the bottom part, which can be a bit cumbersome while trying to fit the rifle securely. However, this isn't a deal-breaker and the ease of adjusting the foam outweighs this small inconvenience.
In conclusion, the Plano Rustrictor AW2 36 Rifle Case is an indispensable companion for any hunter. It provides robust protection against the elements, prevents rust, and fits perfectly in your car or truck. While the foam could use some improvement, overall, it's a reliable, high-quality case I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

🔗Vaultek LifePod XR Portable Firearm Safe


https://preview.redd.it/ab2fcfw3lh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e9803634ff01f14d8bf14bd660045421bbe415e
I've been using the Vaultek LifePod XR Special Edition for a few months now, and I must say, it's been a game-changer in how I store and protect my firearms. The first thing that caught my eye was its sleek design in Covert Black - it looks like something straight out of a spy movie! The advanced non-metal T3 polymer construction gives me peace of mind knowing that my belongings are secure.
One feature that stands out is the integrated micro-USB port, which provides backup power in case the 9V alkaline battery (not included) dies. I've found this incredibly useful when I'm on long trips and need to ensure my gear is always accessible.
However, the lack of a supplied battery did leave me feeling a bit disappointed initially. But overall, considering its sturdy construction and quick-access features, the Vaultek LifePod XR Special Edition has been an excellent addition to my firearm storage solution.

🔗Flambeau Black Protective Case for 20"L x 15"W x 5.5"D


https://preview.redd.it/3x3mof94lh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7514953c1c9feae051417f10c2c4ee65538d4e7f
As a proud hunter, I'm always on the lookout for ways to keep my gear organized and protected. That's why I decided to give the Flambeau 50470F Black Protective Case a shot. The polyethylene material felt sturdy and reliable, while the natural dust seal and interior impact barrier walls made me feel confident that my tools would be well taken care of.
I was most blown away by how easy it was to slide my tools into their designated spots on the foam insert. The convoluted and flat foam design made organization a breeze. The only downside I experienced was that this case may not fit the standard airline carry-on size, which is something to keep in mind for those who travel frequently with their gear.
All in all, I've had great experiences using the Flambeau Gun Case. It's kept my tools well protected and easy to access—definitely worth every penny!

Dusty Cedar Yoga Mat


https://preview.redd.it/fwuq44gvdh5d1.jpg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dce60e6b5b68c6964fe694f49f26784e77c9b8d0
I recently picked up the Yoga Direct Yoga Mat in Dusty Cedar and I must say, it has made a remarkable difference in my home workout routine. The cushioning on this mat is absolutely perfect - it provides just the right amount of support and stability for various yoga, Pilates, or general fitness poses.
One standout feature is how easy this mat is to clean. After an intense workout, I can quickly wipe it down with a damp cloth and it looks as good as new. The material also resists sweat and odors, which is a definite bonus.
The size of the Yoga Direct Yoga Mat is another highlight. At 72" L x 24" W x 6mm, it offers ample space for my movements during exercise. It's the perfect blend of comfort, size, and convenience for a more enjoyable workout experience.
However, there is one minor drawback - a chemical smell upon initial use. This may not be an issue for everyone, but it's worth mentioning. I cleaned the mat extensively before use, and the smell faded significantly. While it was a little unpleasant at first, it isn't enough to deter me from using the mat or recommending it to others.
All in all, the Yoga Direct Yoga Mat (Dusty Cedar) has been a positive addition to my home workout routine. Its comfort, durability, and ease of cleaning make it a worthwhile investment for any fitness enthusiast looking to enhance their practice.

Thick Blue Yoga Mat with Peacock Design


https://preview.redd.it/yqmgxr0wdh5d1.jpg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0659f2005501e5941548c881f3548e23630af1e8
I recently got the opportunity to use the WAI Lana Himalaya Yoga & Pilates Mat Blue, and I must say, it has quickly become my go-to choice for all my yoga and Pilates sessions. This mat boasts a beautiful, majestic peacock design that not only adds charm to my workout area but also serves as a lovely reminder of the calm, tranquil mindset I'm aiming for during practice.
One of the things that truly stood out to me about the mat is its lightweight and easy-to-wash design. After a particularly intense workout session, I was able to quickly wash it off and let it dry in no time. The optimal cushioning offered by the mat ensures that I'm always comfortable, regardless of how demanding the pose or exercise might be.
Another highlight, and perhaps one of my favorite aspects of the mat, is its smooth, yet grippy surface. This unique quality provides incredible traction and prevents any unwanted sliding during even the most intense yoga flows or Pilates poses.
While the mat's thickness does offer extra cushioning and comfort, I did find it to be slightly heavier than some of the other yoga mats I've used in the past. However, this minor inconvenience is more than made up for by the overall quality and performance of the WAI Lana mat.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the WAI Lana Himalaya Yoga & Pilates Mat Blue for anyone looking to elevate their fitness routine with a stylish and comfortable workout accessory. Its unique design, optimal cushioning, and grippy surface make it a standout choice among its peers, and I can't wait to continue perfecting my practice with this mat by my side.

Folding Pink Yoga Mat with Pose Guide


https://preview.redd.it/zxoccr8wdh5d1.jpg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0351f31d1106130ac178a76d1787b58233a3aca8
As a fitness enthusiast, I've always struggled with finding the right yoga mat that provides support and comfort while being easy to transport. That's why I was excited to try the Athletic Works Folding Yoga Mat with Poses in Pink. This mat has been a game-changer for my home workouts, offering both convenience and functionality.
The folding design is incredibly practical, making it much easier to store in small spaces or carry with me when I'm traveling. No more struggling to roll up my bulky yoga mat! The mat's textured surface also provides excellent grip on hard floors, ensuring that I don't slip or slide during intense yoga sessions.
One unique feature of this yoga mat is the illustrations of 14 popular yoga poses printed on the surface. While I initially thought this could be a gimmick, I've found it incredibly helpful as a visual aid for remembering various poses and sequences. It's like having a personal yoga instructor right at my fingertips!
However, there are a few drawbacks to this mat as well. Firstly, it is quite thin, which may not provide enough cushioning for those with sensitive joints or those practicing on hard floors. Additionally, the folded seams can create small creases that might feel underfoot during certain poses.
Despite these minor cons, the Athletic Works Folding Yoga Mat with Poses has been a fantastic addition to my home workout routine. Its portability, grip, and helpful poses make it a valuable tool for both beginners and experienced yogis alike.

Bright 72" Merlot Yoga Mat


https://preview.redd.it/7iqwnouwdh5d1.jpg?width=681&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=003eb546d92ca403958ef859e84fe7ff9a33a7cb
I've been incorporating yoga into my daily routine for quite some time now, and this Everyday Yoga Mat has been an absolute game-changer. Upon receiving it, I couldn't help but notice its vibrant merlot color, which instantly added a touch of fun and style to my practice. Not to mention, the mat felt incredibly soft to the touch, making it a pleasure to use.
One thing that really stood out to me was the mat's impressive grip quality. Despite my slippery hands and feet, I experienced very little sliding and shifting during my practice, thus enabling me to focus more on perfecting my poses. Additionally, the thickness of the mat provided ample cushioning for my knees and wrists, ensuring a comfortable and supportive workout.
However, there were a couple of minor cons to this product. Firstly, the initial odor was quite unpleasant, which required a few days of airing out before it dissipated. Secondly, the cleaning process wasn't as straightforward as I would have preferred, as the material seemed to attract dirt and dust more easily than I would have liked.
In conclusion, I believe that this Everyday Yoga Mat offers an excellent balance of functionality and affordability. Its eye-catching design, supportive thickness, and reliable grip quality make it a worthwhile addition to any yoga enthusiast's collection, despite its few minor drawbacks.

Wavy Design Extra Thick Yoga Mat


https://preview.redd.it/jal80w3xdh5d1.jpg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebeb549deeee6d14369642b55fdc2351c930d4a2
I recently decided to try out this multi-purpose exercise mat from Gymenist, and I can confidently say it has become a staple in my fitness routine. The first thing that struck me was its thickness. At 1/3 inch, it provides ample cushioning for my knees and ankles, making my yoga and Pilates sessions much more comfortable. Plus, it's made of eco-conscious materials, so I don't have to worry about any harmful chemicals coming into contact with my skin.
What I also appreciated was the wavy design. It may seem like a small detail, but this pattern not only makes the mat look modern but also makes it more stable and slip-resistant. I noticed that I didn't have to constantly readjust myself during my workout, which was a major plus.
However, one area where the mat fell short was in its durability. I've used it for a few months now, and there are already visible signs of wear and tear. While it's still functional, I can't help but wonder how long it'll last before needing to be replaced.
Another downside was its width. At 24 inches, it's just a tad narrower than what I'm used to. This means that I have to be extra mindful of my positioning during some exercises, but it's not a deal breaker by any means.
Overall, I've been quite satisfied with my Gymenist exercise mat. Its thickness, grip, and eco-friendliness make it a great addition to any home workout space. While it might not be the most durable option out there, its affordable price point makes it worth considering if you're in the market for a new yoga or pilates mat.

Blue Printed Yoga Mat with Unique Bubbles Design


https://preview.redd.it/aj5hp1jxdh5d1.jpg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8efd316dce3cb4675cf3cb18edc3733057fc68d
I recently got the GoFit Printed Yoga Mat (Blue), and it's been a game-changer for my morning yoga sessions. The first thing that struck me was its unique bubbles design, which not only looks great but also provides a nice grip. I was impressed by how easy it is to roll up for storage - it really helps de-clutter my workout space.
However, I did find it a little too thin for some of the more intense yoga poses. It could use some extra cushioning to provide more comfort during those poses. But overall, this mat has been quite durable and definitely serves its purpose in my daily practice.
The highlight for me would be its non-slip surface, which ensures I don't end up sliding all over during my yoga session. It's also quite lightweight and portable, making it perfect for taking along to classes or on trips.
On the downside, the grip might be an issue for some users as it tends to get a bit slippery. And the thinness of the mat doesn't offer much support during certain poses. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a decent yoga mat that looks good and offers reasonable comfort, the GoFit Printed Yoga Mat might just fit the bill.

I recently discovered the Artskills Pro Strength Yoga Mat, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my daily workout routine. I was initially drawn to its heavy-duty design, promising a 24 x 68 inch surface that's perfect for various yoga poses and even strength-training exercises.
One of the standout features of this mat is its superior grip. As someone who's always struggling to maintain balance during workout sessions, this has been an absolute lifesaver in promoting stability and focus throughout my practice. The enhanced density of the mat also provides unparalleled comfort and support, allowing me to perform more challenging poses with ease and confidence.
In addition to its performance capabilities, the Artksills Pro Strength Yoga Mat boasts a lightweight design that makes it incredibly easy to transport between classes or even during international travel. Despite its compact size, this mat packs a punch when it comes to resistance, offering durability and longevity that ensures this investment will last through countless workout sessions.
However, there are a few cons worth noting. Firstly, the lack of color options may be disappointing for some users who prefer a more vibrant workout space. Additionally, while the mat itself is of high quality, some users may find the lack of available product specifications to be a hindrance in fully understanding its features and benefits.
Overall, the Artskills Pro Strength Yoga Mat has quickly become my go-to choice for any workout activity. Its blend of performance, portability, and durability make it an excellent investment for those seeking to elevate their practice to new heights.

General Features of Yoga Mats


https://preview.redd.it/3g2o4acydh5d1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e7973212d02c419c41f3caf39b19279dc3dfa50
Yoga mats are an essential part of any yoga practice, providing cushioning and traction for various asanas. The mats come in different materials, sizes, and thicknesses, which can affect their performance and durability.

Important Considerations

  • Thickness: Generally, yoga mats range from 1/16 inch (1.5mm) to 1/4 inch (6.35mm) in thickness. Thicker mats provide more cushioning, while thinner ones offer better stability and portability.
  • Material: Common materials include PVC, rubber, cork, and natural tree rubber. Each has its pros and cons. PVC mats are inexpensive and durable but may release harmful chemicals. Rubber mats provide good grip and eco-friendliness, while cork and tree rubber offer extra cushioning and natural odor resistance.
  • Grip: Mats with textured surfaces or dot patterns enhance grip, preventing slips during practice.
  • Size: Standard yoga mats are about 68 inches long and 24 inches wide, but extra-long and wide options are available for taller or larger practitioners.

General Advice for Choosing a Yoga Mat

  1. Consider your practice style. If you do intense yoga styles like hot yoga, you may want a thicker mat for more cushioning. For gentler styles like restorative yoga, a thinner mat could be ideal.
  2. Choose a mat material that aligns with your personal values and needs. For example, if you're environmentally conscious, consider a rubber or cork mat.
  3. Invest in a high-quality mat if you practice regularly, as it will likely last longer and provide better performance than a cheaper option.
  4. Take note of the warranty and return policy when purchasing a yoga mat, in case it doesn't meet your expectations.

2024.06.09 06:30 KaizokuoDLuffy Confused how to go about writing SoP for Visa. Help!

Posting this from a friend's account because I got locked out of mine.
Hi all! I (28 F) am new to this sub so I hope this is the right place to seek help for my particular scenario. Mods, please bear with me if I am.
I am in the process of applying for a Visa to join NCI for its Higher Diploma in Science in Computing, an NFQ Level 8 conversion course designed to reskill people from non-IT background to graduate standard in the field. I have been accepted by NCI and now all that remains is to write a statement of purpose for the visa, but I have been having difficulties drawing inspiration from to write one meaningfully.
I have been looking for sources or templates online to measure my SoP against. But it seems there are none for the NFQ Level 8s. And herein is where my problem lies because I don’t have a way to know if the one I have written is impactful enough for a successful visa obtainment.
I'll try to keep this brief so here's a little about me. I graduated in Journalism & Mass Communication in 2017 and got my first job as a digital marketer. The whole thing wasn't my cup of tea but I learnt about web development from a couple of projects I worked on and discovered that I had quite a knack for it.
Fast forward to 2020, I quit my job to reskill myself because digital marketing was getting me nowhere. But then Covid struck and we went through some tough times so I had to keep myself afloat teaching Korean on the side. I learnt web development on my own knowing absolutely zilch about computers. But I was able to learn enough to build simple websites and web apps on my own. This took me up till the end of 2022. Luckily, I caught a break in 2023 and worked on a couple of jobs as a junior web developer. But I felt the need for a formal education while working at these jobs because I realised I could be out of my depth at times. This is also when I learnt about conversion courses for professionals from non-IT vocations and decided to apply at universities.
Thankfully, I got in at NCI and now need to get a visa. I have seen sample SoPs online for NFQ Level 9 courses but nothing for an international student wanting to go for an NFQ Level 8 conversion course. My question to the sub is, has anyone gone through a similar experience and share tips on how to compose an SoP? Or are there any places I am not looking online for sample SoPs tailored to my circumstance? I know I am asking for too much but I hope someone has an answer. Thank you!!
