Note: I will use “UPDATE” instead of the M word that’s banned here for whatever reason.
I recently spent a couple hours trying to UPDATE Fallout New Vegas to have HD textures. All of the resources I found were super long and convoluted. This method takes 5 minutes and has been working great for me.

1. Make sure you have a clean install of Fallout New Vegas without any custom updates.
2. Complete the following steps in desktop mode.
3. Download all three of the texture packs from NEXUS UPDATES (the main site for UPDATES, can’t link it due to the naughty word). You can search “NMCS TEXTURE PACK FOR NEW VEGAS, and it should pull right up. You will need to create an account for the site if you don’t have one already. Heads up, this is 3.3gb of files, so make sure you have the space.
4. Unzip all three files into a separate folder, I just unzipped to my desktop. You should have a total of five folders.
5. Locate Fallout New Vegas in your Steam library (again, via desktop mode). Right click the game, highlight “Manage”, then select “Browse Local Files”.
6. Open the folder titled “Data”. Drag all five folders that you unzipped into this folder. It will ask you if you want to “Write In” files, do that.
7. Go back to game mode and enjoy the game.

Not sure why everyone thinks you need UPDATE Organizer when this works just fine. It’s over complicated. You may need it if you choose to do multiple UPDATES, but if you want HD textures only, this is all you need to do.

Hi,
I've been staring at Cox models for a while now and one thing doesn't make sense about them.
As I understand, we have our 'population' hazard rate h(t), representing the probability of a state transition at time t, given no other information about the individual. This gets multiplied by the exponential of a linear model of predictors, BX, where B are a vector of coefficients and X are a vector of predictors.
This would appear to make some sense until we consider values that are large. For example if h(t) is 0.5 at some t, and we had B = (0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2), and X=(1,1,1,1); then we end up with a hazard of 0.5*exp(0.2*4)= 1.11. Meaning the probability of the state transitioning is above one, breaking probability laws.
This situation seems to sometimes occur when I'm fitting my models, which have a lot of predictors (although I'm able to get around it with hacky workarounds, such as limiting B to be below certain values), and people seem to ask me about it when I am presenting work, and I don't really have an answer.
It might seem like a minor quibble, but it bugs me that my own explaination of how cox proportional hazards models work leads to a contradiction.
So I feel like there must be something wrong with my understanding of how this should be working, and would appreciate any explanations or clarifications of what is going on.
Thanks.

I really want to reach out to my ex again, because I noticed he unblocked me.
My ex boyfriend (LDR) of 1 year and 3 months broke up with me over text, because I was wanting to spend time with him over FaceTime since we haven’t bonded in a long time and he’s been ‘busy.’ He got angry at me for bringing it up because I knew he’d been busy, but I just felt neglected and felt like he wasn’t making any time for us anymore. So he broke up with me, said a lot of hurtful things like “I’d be happier if I didn’t talk to you, rather than being stressed. Now you know what makes me happy.” It broke my heart even more. I tried to call and text him, but he blocked me on our main source of communication. He said he would’ve blocked me sooner if it weren’t for the money he owes me… I helped him pay off his loan and so that he doesn’t need to take money out of his savings so he could save it for moving to my country in July so we could start out future together.
A week after he broke up with me, I messaged his phone number (I didn’t care about the international bills) and I was sent an ‘automatic’ message like in the photo. I noticed every time I sent a message, 15 minutes later the ‘automatic’ would send through. I even reached out via iMessage to his laptop to explain myself and how I’m willing to do the work and become a better person, move on from our bad memories and process my trauma so I could heal. He left me on read and delivered. And by trauma, I mean he almost left me several times whenever he got stressed or angry.

• He disappeared suddenly for 1-2 months without saying anything, he’d respond to my messages on and off again. I thought I did something wrong, because whenever we had a misunderstanding, he’d need a few days for some space… I tried to be patient, but I was worried he was leaving me. He did say some mean things to me, “why are you so obsessed?” When I’d try to call him to wake him up for work, as I would usually wake him up. Turns out, he was going through a hard time in his personal life and didn’t want to ‘burden’ me
• When I visited his home country for a few weeks, we went to an amusement park and while waiting in line, he got angry and stressed because I talked to a lady who was the same ethnicity as me. It was one of those things like “oh you’re from this country? Me too?” Type conversations… He thought I wasn’t having a good time, so he was going to leave me in a hotel room… I begged him and went on my knees for him not to leave me… But then he said “You have no value to me.” Which made me stop… I’m not sure what happened (I forgot), but we were able to patch things up and enjoy the rest of my time in his country

I deleted the messaging app because there was no point for it anymore… I tried to focus on myself during this time. 2.5 weeks later, I had a gut feeling about something… So I redownloaded the app, and I noticed that he unblocked me. I checked what it would be like to block/unblock someone on the app, and he had to manually unblock me and add me back as a friend… when you’re blocked you can’t see their profile/updates, but when you’re blocked you can see this message pop up, warning that you can’t immediately re-add them as a friend after unblocking.
And if you unblock them you have the choice to add them back as a friend again. I also deleted his contact off my phone, because the app automatically syncs your contacts.. so I redownloaded the app again and I was still added as his friend and can view everything on his profile. He still has his profile picture I took of him and didn’t remove his previous profile picture I took of him off his profile.
Maybe I’m thinking and doing too much but I don’t know why he’d unblock me like that without any reason… I tried to narrow the options down and it’s either - He misses me/is curious about me - Doesn’t care at all and moved on so he unblocked me - Unblocked me so he could message me about the money or whatever
I really want to reach out to him. I miss him so much, and I still love him. I just want him back, and I know I shouldn’t reach out to him because he’s the one who dumped me, and out of respect for myself too. I’m worried that if I reach out, he’d get angry at me and get stressed out by me again. I’m not sure what to do. I miss my boyfriend.. Despite the bad memories, we have a lot of good memories too.

Is what I work and it’s only been 5 months and I’m already burnt out. I come home and have two hours to life before bed. I can’t keep up with friends, house, relationships, etc. How is this normal? In my area there’s no where else where I’ll be able to work and not take a 20k+ pay cut

I get my tirz from Emerge and 5 weeks of 2.5 and 1 just started 5.0 yesterday. Don’t think it’s working. Less food noise during the day but nothing crazy And NO side effects. Lost about 5 pounds, it is worth the $?

I have worked for the company for 1 and half years and all I can say is that it’s the worst company I have ever worked for, I’m nearly 23 years old and most of the management are younger than me, I’ve been investigated 3 times for bullshit reasons while I have to sit back and watch people serve underage, managers fucking eachother (age gap of more than 20 years btw) overpouring, constant, sexual harassment from staff and weekend door staff and many more, as long as your fucking a manager you’ll get a promotion because that’s how Wetherspoons works
My mental health has constantly deteriorated since working there and the 11.64 isn’t worth the depression

I have seen the episode and I won’t say anything. But if you see the photo then that would make you think that will be Bodgers new hammer. And it also kinda spoils that they’re gonna beat the giant in the episode. I’m very exited for next week, because they got some cool stuff at the end. But the photo already spoiled it a bit

Is anyone else struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts due to the current state of the housing market? I’m attempting to move back to my hometown after a decade away to be closer to aging and ailing family members. My area was recently named the hottest RE market in the country so all the $ I worked tirelessly for and saved is quickly becoming not enough to own a home. Properties are being snatched up immediately by investors and wealthy transplants. Prices have doubled in just a few years. Knowing I won’t be able to have any sort of financial security (in terms of housing) is a cause for concern and seems to make living in general unsustainable and undesirable. And medication and therapy is helpful for some but doesn’t change our reality of this situation. Sticking around to be a lifelong renter because I did the financially right thing by saving instead of acting recklessly seems pointless. Also, I find myself obsessing over properties I passed on while waiting for the right opportunity and hating the individuals who just happened to get lucky due to timing. I just no longer see the point of any of this anymore.

Son: Dad, you should text us more.
Alex: Ok, but why is that?
Son: Well, we are working on the Dad LLM but so far it just spits out economics and twitter quips. We need some sage Dad advice to help us out in the future.
Alex: So you want training data for my replacement?
Son: Well, at least until they unfreeze your brain.

so i main dps and honestly i hate when either team, mine included, says “gg easy”. yesterday, 3 matches in a row we got spawn camped the entire game, so obviously they won, and their entire team just goes “gg easy” but it wasn’t like we could even leave spawn? i really dont get it because it cant be enjoyable for anyone when they play like that. am i really the only one that wont go to spawn just to get kills?

so my sister is 19, 3 years older than me and she’s actively going to school, working and everything. i always encourage her and compliment her and everything but she keeps comparing herself to me all the time in terms of looks. let me say my sister is not ugly and not fat but she thinks she is and im constantly reassuring her she’s beautiful the way she is and whatnot. she’s opened up about being jealous of me and saying how im “clearly the prettier sister” but im always reassuring her that’s not the case.
i am severely depressed and im in a very poor mental state and because of this, its been hard to leave the house or even just get out of bed on some days. she always makes fun of me for that and metaphorically kicks me while im already down, makes me feel even worse about myself than i already do. i always brush this off because im aware she’s struggling too and is insecure and whatnot so i just let it happen for her sake. up until i embarked on a self improvement journey last year. i was really motivated to get my shit together and get myself and my life back.
i started researching about mental health, about religion, started a no sugar diet, started praying, meditating, exercising, stopped eating junk food, going on walks and jogs and everything and id come home feeling all excited and she’d just be completely quiet and avoid me/ ignore me. the next day she started eating soft boiled eggs just like i did and said she was “inspired”, she started praying as well, reading all the stuff id compiled into a little notebook that i spent hours researching and took pictures of everything i had written in it and never thanked me or gave me credit or whatever, even caught her snooping in my diary multiple times.
she started going to the gym, starving herself and everything. this just made me really demotivated overall. she kept trying to one up me in everything i did. it affected me so much because she was watching my every move quietly and then going about doing the same thing i did the next day so casually…. these were the same thing she used to make fun of me for doing. i was so excitedly sharing with her everything and she’d always just put me down, up until until i actually started doing all those and reaping the benefits. she’d be so secretive about whatever supplements she was taking or whatever makeup hack or hair hack she had when i would just excitedly share whatever i knew with her.
i cried to my mum and confided in her about all this but she’d just brush it off and disregard my feelings because she “didn’t want to get involved in our petty sister issues”. long story short, i gave up on my whole self improvement journey because i just missed my sister. stupid right? i missed her being my sister, not acting as if she was my competitor. well when i gave up, she also stopped doing all those and we continued getting along with each other, binging on unhealthy junk food together, wasting time binge watching our favourite movies together, our bond only grew and we were having so much fun together.
there were a few times id feel horrible about the unproductive, unhealthy lifestyle i was leading so id restart my self improvement journey and then she would start being cold and distant and do the same thing. its been a year since all this happened and right now we’re closer than ever and i really love spending time with her but i still notice she copies me from time to time. while she does this, she’ll complain about how our brother’s gf copies her, buying the same skincare products as hers when she does the same thing to me?? i tried out this new makeup look the other day and absolutely loved it and she doesn’t wear makeup at all but just now, she came home with the EXACT same makeup look i recently did and did not say a word about it and acted all casual. let me just say that this look isn’t trending or whatever i freestyled it myself and she didn’t idk compliment it or whatever she was just acting cold.
there’s so many other instances where shes done it before like when i started wearing this new skincare product and the next day she bought it as well when it wasn’t trending or whatever and many other instances but i do not want to confront her again because it’d lead to a big fight and i do not want her to gaslight me into thinking this is all happening in my head or whatever. recently i’ve been jogging and the pattern would repeat again but this time she also started jogging SECRETLY. she could’ve asked to tag along or maybe invite me so we could do it together like everything else we do, but she would go out of her way to not let me know she’s doing those stuff for no reason at all.
she gets really distant and cold whenever im really happy and excited doing something good for myself but when im really sad and and indulging in bad habits, she’d be really nice to me plus the casual insult droppings disguised as jokes. i have to see her everyday because we share a room together and nowadays i have to be very secretive in all i do as well because i remember how bad it got last time. i don’t want to keep living this unhealthy lifestyle but i also still want to be on good terms with her as i really love her but i feel like she’s constantly in competition with me and praying on my downfall which seems to be working. am i overreacting? what should i do? it’s so mentally draining.

First time posting and a little apprehensive! Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and/or reply.
I was involved in a RTC last year, with my toddler in the car. I wasn’t at fault. I won’t go into too much detail, but it was horrifically traumatising and my car was a complete write off. Luckily my child wasn’t harmed as he was rear facing, and I was left with glass in my legs which resulted in one of the cuts scarring.
However the psychological issues I have faced since the accident have been essentially ruining my life, as much as I have attempted to brush it under the carpet and try and deal with it all on my own, something in the media recently triggered me and I realised this is never going to end unless I get some sort of therapy.
I mourn who I was before the accident as I’ve not been the same since. I miss being happy. I have completely lost interest in looking after myself, I turned to cannabis to help me sleep, I put on almost 2 stone (was a healthy gym bunny before) and I tick a lot of boxes associated with PTSD.
After finally gaining the confidence to do so, I recently appointed a conditional fee solicitor who have been fantastic, the defendants insurer accepted liability 48 hours after being notified, so hopefully it’ll be a pretty straight forward case and settlement.
I have a medical assessment in a few weeks to speak about the accident, the symptoms I’ve been experiencing and to produce a medical report for the case. I’ve been told I will then most likely be referred to a psychiatrist afterwards to determine the exact psychological impact and how long recovery may take, what treatment is required etc.
Therefore I am claiming for the scar on my leg, it’s not massive (about 2 inches long) but it reminds me of the accident and I could do without it, as well as the psychological issues.
I know it’s a bit vague to gage and everyone’s circumstances are different, but I couldn’t find much on here for psychological settlements after car accidents, so I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences and what sort of amount I should be expecting? The most important thing for me is finally being able to get some sort of treatment for the issues I’m experiencing.
Thanks all

It’s a very common prolife trope. The world will collapse if not enough babies are born because the economy will collapse and there won’t be enough people to get work done.
For me, the truth of this statement is location dependent. In a place like Japan, yes, I could see some consequences of population decline. Such as not enough people to take care of the elderly.
On the other hand, there are undoubtedly positive effects such as the fact unemployment would likely plummet for at least a few decades, given that there isn’t a shortage of work today but rather not enough jobs for everyone.

I’m not sure what to do in this situation. My fridge isn’t cooling. The fridge is at 60 degrees and the freezer is at 35 degrees right now. I think it must have stopped working overnight.
I can’t afford anything—I can’t get someone to look at or repair it, I definitely can’t replace it, even with something used or a cheap scratch and dent. I don’t drive, so even if someone were giving one away for free I couldn’t move it.
I’m gonna lose the food that’s in there.
I’m so demoralized by this. I have a lot going on right now and this is just something I don’t know how to manage.
I’ve looked into how to fix this myself, but I’m hesitant to try anything in case it can be repaired and I break it worse or prevent that somehow.
What should I do?

Hi so I’m in my early 20s(F) and have been with my boyfriend for just over 2 years.
We rarely have sex as we both live with our families. And honestly it’s never been good. But at the minute I don’t think I can have sex with him again. He’s a words over actions person, and I’ve grown to resent his empty words and promises to better himself. Every time I want to end things something happens in his life that isn’t his fault that you can’t just leave someone with. I’m talking family death, friend deaths, job rejections etc.
I’m his first relationship and he makes so many jokes about how bad he would be without me there, and he is very much in love with me and I’m ridden by the guilt of wanting to leave. I would happily be friends with him, that is essentially what we are without sex, apart from him constantly wanting hugs and kisses which honestly I find myself wanting to cry from because I don’t feel comfortable in that sense anymore.
I’m so horrible to him. I say means things and I constantly act like I don’t want to talk to him or be with him. I think it’s my way of trying to get him to not want to be with me either.
I know it’s a clear answer of I should just leave, I know that. But I’m scared, I know how bad first breakups can be and I’m also scared of what he might do. He has pictures of me on his phone I’m working to delete but he’s claiming it’s his phone and I’m not allowed to delete anything. But I feel like he’d show people or maybe post them, I’m unsure, but like I said I know how bad some people take breakups especially the first time.
Essentially I feel bad leaving him when it’s clear he wants me around and has a lot of love for me, and I feel the same it’s just not the same sense anymore. There’s only so many times I can take being given false hope someone will better themselves and to feel like I’m mothering them. And then to have them improve for a month then tell me to stop trying to change them.
I make breakup comments so often, I know it’s horrible I do. And I think he knows it’s coming. Even his mother asked me how I put up with him. I think as well he basically told me if we broke up he’d probably start taking care of himself after he got over it, but he won’t do it for me/us now.
I spoke with my therapist and she asked me ‘if he improved himself physically overnight would you want to be with him?’ And I said no. He’s made too many empty promises, said things to me in arguments that are so hurtful, and his mindset has just become extremely unattractive to me, I don’t feel our morals align anymore. My mental health has taken such a decline due to my chronic illness and this relationship the last year, where his mental health has improved drastically.
Sorry for rambling, I just wanted to rant I guess. I don’t trust him with all my secrets and I think he’s petty enough to ruin my friendships and aspects of my life. And I’m scared to ask him to be friends. I care so much for him but just not romantically anymore. I keep telling myself to be as kind as possible when I see him so he won’t see how my resentment but I always end up causing an argument or being passive aggressive. It’s not fair to either of us yet every time I look for the exit he needs a support system for something bad that’s happened and I feel too bad to add to that hurt.
I don’t need to be told to breakup with him or that you think I’m nasty, I would just really appreciate advice if anyone has felt similarly or can think of an approach to cause the least upset possible.
Thank you.
