2024.05.16 12:41 LongWindedInNJ My wife hit a deer driving on RT 22
Just a friendly reminder to keep an eye out for deer where you least expect it. High-traffic areas aren’t a deterrent to deer.
It’s a shame what happened. My wife was OK but the deer was not. My wife was also helped by a few drivers who stopped their cars to temporarily block traffic and allowed her to pull off safely into a nearby gas station (thank you to whoever stopped and checked on her! Apparently there were quite a few of you.)
What happened next was very sad. The police arrived on the scene and wrote up the report. The officer then shot the deer with a rifle without warning. My wife was so shaken from the incident that she needed about 30 minutes to calm down and stop crying before returning home. I didn’t want to abandon her car but I was debating picking her up and getting her car the next day. But she eventually got herself home safely.
I completely understand the need to end an animal’s suffering but was there a better way to do this? A simple warning would have sufficed, no?

2024.05.16 12:30 Caramel_blondeTee AITAH for falling for the man my partner nudged me to?
Tried my best to cut it short 🙏🏼 I(f25) met, and was then soon after courted by a sophisticated man who turned out to be a big deal in my country and was at the height of his honor as his establishment was having a big national launch at that particular time.I knew non of this at the time. We’ll call him John. So John inevitably got my number since my company was largely responsible for supplying his establishment and I was thrown headfirst into handling our business with them. And really it took no more than 2 conversations for him to make his interest known. And like any other loyal girlfriend, I let my partneboyfriend(m25) of 7 yrs, call him Chris, know of John’s advances to which he, Chris gave me ‘permission’ to keep talking to John as that’s all it was at the time; business talk with random flirtations on his side and Chris was almost always part of the conversations from my side(John wasn’t aware of Chris at the time).. We, Chris and I would respond to John’s messages together and sometimes even have a giggle over his corniness… And don’t y’all judge Chris, he allowed this to happen because he was/is fully secure in our relationship and trusts that my heart is his, and that I would never leave him with anyone else. Which truly is the case even now.However, eventually, the conversations became just mine and John’s alone. We had so much in common and he really was the kind of man I had envisioned myself ending up with. We talked every day and sometimes till late night, and Chris would watch me smiling while texting. Then the inevitable happened, we fell for each other. HARD
It was two weeks in and since we’d only ever seen each other in a work setting, John and I had been discussing how nice it would be to see each other outside of work. It didn’t take long and as fate would have it(we are both believers in fate), the perfect scenario for us to finally meet, arose that same weekend. I felt like I had known this man for years at this point, so I wasn’t even big excited, I was just moderately looking forward to seeing him as if again… That feeling didn’t last for too long, because as soon as he arrived at the agreed meeting spot and got out of his car, a white luxury car, wearing a black top my weakness when worn by a man.
I had not noticed this about him before, since I had only seen him in his work overalls, but he was quite buff man with a very delectable height, and he looked like he had waited all his life to see me and the way he pulled me in for a hug proved just as much. We spend some time(though barely) together that night, drinks and conversations flowing. If I wasn’t sure before, then, after that night, I knew for a fact I was in love with John. And no, nothing happened further than just some lip locking, he was a real gentleman and I consider myself to be a lady of standard. But like all good things this too had to come to an abrupt end when I finally came to, and realized it was the early AMs and my partner and our child had been waiting for me to return home (over 30 missed calls and messages from my partner and sister, as this was very unlike me). To say, Chris was very upset by the time I was dropped off from the night is an understatement and from the texts on my phone he quickly gathered where and with whom I was.
An argument ensued and Chris gave me an ultimatum- it was either him and the life he had together or John. Of course I chose Chris and I really wish it had been that simple, but I also had undoubtable connection and feelings for John.
And here lies my problem. To that point, John and I had never really figured out what exactly was going on between us. However , we were both mildly, infuriated at the sudden surge of feelings we had towards each other, both being parents of one, cohabiting with our partners whom we were fully committed to. I hate to be long-winded, so let me know if I should make another post with a conclusion/update?

2024.05.16 12:22 SageOfNineRealms Inner conflict causing a lot of stress
I feel I have two options in life
Side note: it would be easy to find love again because let’s be honest who wouldn’t want to be with a “rich” guy who can buy you the car you want and take you to that fancy restaurant or buy you that pretty dress you saw online?
Side note: this life style I feel will be a very lonely or single life due to not being considered the best provider for a potential significant other. I love, love. I feel it may be hard to find someone who will want to be with me if I chose this life style
I should mention I am 24 years old.

- Become rich in money (find a way to own or start a business that profits me $10k+/month) so I can buy anything I’d like and Take care of those I love, travel the world, build cars and (as much as I hate to admit this) live up to the expectations I feel some people I care about have for me. I for some reason worry about them looking down on me (it’s strange I have always never cared about what others thought till the last couple years it’s gotten pretty bad)
Side note: it would be easy to find love again because let’s be honest who wouldn’t want to be with a “rich” guy who can buy you the car you want and take you to that fancy restaurant or buy you that pretty dress you saw online?
- Live a minimalist life (studio apartment or van life) now this life would be a simplistic life I’d have plenty of time off in my day to day life because I’d either be living off disability due to heart issues (I’ve had 2 recorded heart attacks) and if I can’t get disability then I’d just work 3 days out of the week which would give me 4 days off to do whatever I please now if I can get disability then obviously I’d have everyday off doing whatever I please whenever I want as long as it costs no money or very little amount. which leads me to my next point which is I’d have very little money to do much but I’d have plenty of time to be with family and friends… the other issue is I’ve always wanted to travel the world but with option 2 I wouldn’t be able to travel to other countries as often as I’d like but idk maybe I could maybe I’m over estimating how expensive traveling out of country is (I’ve never traveled in my life other then by car to other states as a kid. This is why I mentioned van life is because the cheap life style would also allow me to travel all over the US freely as well.
Side note: this life style I feel will be a very lonely or single life due to not being considered the best provider for a potential significant other. I love, love. I feel it may be hard to find someone who will want to be with me if I chose this life style

2024.05.16 12:18 elij2660 A Question for Art Examiners / Teachers
 | I'm currently in 3/4 Art Making and Exhibiting, and for one of my artworks for Unit 3 AOS2 I decided to do a painting of two people holding hands (just the hands). submitted by elij2660 to vce [link] [comments] When I completed the sketch for the painting I was in isolation as I tested + to covid. So I used a stock photo as a reference for my sketch. However when I returned to school the teacher informed me that this was not allowed, and that it was "appropriating" the original photographer's work and that she would not authenticate the work as mine. This felt conflicting to me, as I've previously used multiple images from the internet (stock or non-stock) as references for my previous works and sketched those out and she had no problem with this. Additionally, it conflicts with my personal understanding of what free to use stock photos are & copyright law. (I've been assessed on my understanding of these things in the past.) I am slightly concerned that she thought that I traced the images instead of sketching from a reference. Would you tell your students that using stock photos as references is not allowed? (I'm going to redo the hands from an image I took myself either way, but i just want to know others opinions.) https://preview.redd.it/g6xjkflslr0d1.jpg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=828896dcddbbc7cf2914775cc8f0e2eed8b0b62b |

2024.05.16 12:11 Winter-Clue2535 AITA for cutting contact with my abusive mother? my family keeps telling me I'm blowing things out of proportion
I'll try to be as impartial as possible given the circumstances. anxiety has been a part of my life for the past 30 years. I was having textbook panic attacks as young as 4. depression is my "normal". plus everything that comes with it, ocd, paranoia, migraines, chest pain, etc. and a general disdain for social interactions, even online. say I have to spend a week visiting my family, I'll be bedridden for a month afterwards. even something as innocuous can be extremely taxing. it's like "I need to recharge after socializing" cranked to eleven.
because of that, in all honesty, I haven't actively sought out therapy. psychiatric help. talking to people hurts. drugs are another problem. everything I'm prescribed has horrible side effects. skin rashes, gastric ulcers, amnesia. a lot of professionals are "unprepared to tackle a case like mine" (their words, not mine). I don't know if there's a genetic component involved, but I do know my mom is the root cause. nobody is this messed up for no reason, right?
my mom was raised in a strict, religious household. she was constantly pitted against her golden child cousin. and her own mother would make a point that she wasn't up to snuff. she resents grandma for a myriad of reasons but never acts on it. and she assumed I'd extend her the same courtesy, "because it's the right thing to do". as if it was ok to ruin my life because I *had* to forgive her. I believe she's gay because she despises the notion of sex. I know this because even as a kid she'd vent, literally throw tantrums, to anyone or just herself, within an earshot of my toddler self. about how she hated being a stay-at-home wife, how her husband cheated on her, how he wanted to do the most vanilla things you can imagine in bed and she still thought he was a pervert. even my strict, religious grandmother thought she was overreacting (nobody was safe from her oversharing)
imagine being a teenager in that position. she'd shame me or indirectly make me feel dirty. I'd never dare share anything of that nature, but I knew what she thought of my urges, how they made me less than. this was worsened by how close we were. I know now this closeness was fabricated rather than genuine fondness. my mom was the only person in my life. she forbid my father from being alone with me "because he was a pervert". she'd humiliate me in front of my friends until they labeled me a loser and left. and the ones that remained she'd try her hardest to drive away; I remember this one time she belittled me for a week simply because I asked her if I could spend the day over a friends' house. she emotionally blackmailed me in order to control me. the implication being "how can you love me if you won't do exactly as I say? or if you enjoy seeing women naked"
remember the oversharing? random people would come up to me saying I was a horrible son. because she would take any chance to make herself a martyr to complete strangers. funny part is that those people would distance themselves shortly after. because mom is an emotional black hole. and they never apologized or offered help. there's a lot more, but this should paint a nice picture: she bathed me until I was 15. she realized she was losing control when I asked her to stop. I almost had to get physical to get her to. what followed were 4 grueling years of me trying to regain control and distance myself from her. nobody in my family helped me because "it was just a phase". I thought mom would come around eventually, but she never did. so I said f* it, moved in with grandma and told mom to stay the hell away. she blamed grandma for taking me in.
fast forward a decade and here's the breaking point. grandma had a few properties to her name that she wanted to sign over to me, so I wouldn't be hit with hefty taxes once she and mom passed. the only stipulation being that mom was allowed to live in any of them for as long as she wanted. I agreed. when mom heard the news, she went ballistic. she said she didn't trust me and was sure "I was going to steal her home", even though there was a contract, and that she hated my grandmother for "picking her grandson over her own daughter". grandma is 90. I thought the stress was going to kill her. so I called mom in order to settle this ourselves. it was a long conversation where she denied everything at first, before admitting that she knew what she did to me was wrong, but didn't care. and that she wouldn't stop until the properties were signed over to her.
I told her I wouldn't be able to cover the taxes, because I obviously can't hold a job. that I'd lose everything after she died and that I very much needed the money from renting them to survive. I begged her. I swore on my wife's life that I had no intention of kicking her out, ever. she said no. "I don't trust you after everything you did to me". ironic, no? but for grandma's sake, I agreed. she signed everything over to mom with the new stipulation that she could rent them herself. grandma moved to an apartment and is renting one of the properties to help pay my bills. I moved far, far away. currently trying to find a bigger place so grandma can move in with us. and I cut all contact with mom after some harsh words that reduced her to a bawling mess. funny thing is that grandma and the rest of the family want me to reconcile, because "your mother misses you"
like I'm overreacting. am I? my entire life people tried to convince me I was, that mom never did anything *that* bad. you inevitably start questioning your motives. I'm not a good person. I'm a misanthrope and I find nobody relates to me because of it. I leech off my family. I manipulate people. I lie because it's easier than this. and the only thing I feel towards my mom is hate. so much so that I could do things to her that I'd probably regret. only because I'd lose everything I managed to scrounge in life, mind you. and this is all compounded by the fact I don't see myself as a victim. because I grew up in a nice neighborhood, or because my parents rarely hit me. etc. I don't feel deserving of the label. I also can never shake the feeling that this is partly my fault. that I could've spared myself of so much had I found the strength to put a stop to it sooner.

I lie because it's easier than this. and the only thing I feel towards my mom is hate. so much so that I could do things to her that I'd probably regret. only because I'd lose everything I managed to scrounge in life, mind you. and this is all compounded by the fact I don't see myself as a victim. because I grew up in a nice neighborhood, or because my parents rarely hit me. etc. I don't feel deserving of the label. I also can never shake the feeling that this is partly my fault. that I could've spared myself of so much had I found the strength to put a stop to it sooner.

Dick's heart hammered against his chest like a pounding storm as he stood amidst the laboratory, flanked by Artemis and Barry Allen, the Flash. The weight of worry for Mar'i bore down on him unbearably, each moment without her amplifying his anxiety.
In the secluded closet hidden at the back of the lab, Dick and Artemis had found something haunting: a trove of withered seedlings, dead plants that looked alien in nature. Assuming the worst, but needing to confirm, Dick had quickly summoned a friend with a history of running genetic samples - none other than the Scarlet Speedster - to the scene.
Barry’s brow furrowed in concentration as he examined the specimens, having already run several tests.
“I'm limited in what I can do here; I'm a CSI, not a xenologist,” Barry admitted with regret, evoking his favourite chief medical officer of fiction. “Really, this really feels like a job for someone like Cadmus. Alien DNA is their whole deal.”
Dick could only grimace at the suggestion, reminded of the sickening experiments he had unearthed in the bowels of the Chicago cloning laboratory, of the dozens of aborted attempts at cloning Bruce Wayne. It was hard to stomach, especially knowing that he still had no idea who was responsible. “Not an option," he replied firmly. “Not Cadmus.”
Barry raised an eyebrow, his curiosity evident in his expression. “You don't believe those rumours about the Superboy clones, do you?" he asked. “They’re Reawakened through and through. Blame the other universes’ Cadmuses.”
In response, Dick shook his head. “It’s not that. It’s… something else.”
Barry then looked to Artemis and smiled. “It’s, uh… nice to meet you properly by the way,” he said. “I heard you, uh, shoot arrows.”
Despite the terrible situation they were in, Artemis allowed herself a snicker in response to the Flash’s awkwardness. “Among other things. It’s important to branch out, seeing as I know you already have an arrows guy.”
Just then, Tim emerged from behind a sliding door, draped in his red and black Rook gear, a stack of papers in hand. “Got the printouts you asked for,” he said, handing them over to Barry.
Barry swiftly flipped through the pages at super speed, his expression growing grim as he absorbed the information.
“What is it?” asked Artemis.
“What we feared,” he announced somberly. “The dead seedlings match the profile of alien species, with a significant DNA match for the Morning Eclipse sample you got from Starling’s fingernails.”
Dick's frustration boiled over, his voice dripping with anger. “Wilkof,” he spat, his jaw clenched in fury. “He let that damn killer plant loose.”
Tim struck himself in the shoulder in self-reproach. “I should've put it together sooner,” he muttered. “Wilkof knew plenty about Tamaran even before you let him speak to Mar’i.”
“It’s worse than we thought,” added Barry, and everyone’s blood turned cold. “This Dr Wilkof wasn't just releasing the Morning Eclipse, he was trying to propagate them; taking cuttings to grow more of them. We’re just lucky the Earth's sunlight is too diffuse for their growth.”
Dick's eyes widened in horror. “So he’s trying to create an army of killer plants?”
Barry nodded solemnly. “An army or a particularly menacing greenhouse.”
Artemis's brow furrowed as she pieced together a crucial detail. “Wait, a couple years ago they had me subbing in the bio department at school for a few months. I’m pretty sure plants grown from cuttings are meant to be genetically identical to the parent.”
Tim cursed under his breath and then reached for the printouts to give them a check over himself. “You’re right! Genetic variation only occurs after pollination. But these plants aren't self-pollinated. They're too distinct from the original sample taken from Mar'i’s attack.”
Barry's voice quivered as he raised a troubling possibility. “Could there be two adult killer plants on the loose?”
“No, it's not that,” Tim quickly replied again, his expression grave as he looked up from the stack of papers. “It's worse.”
Artemis' heart sank. “How could it possibly be worse?”
“The dead seedlings share identical DNA with each other. And every single one of their genes is present in the parent sample. But the parent also has additional chromosomes that all of the seedlings lack,” Tim explained as his eyes traced the text on the papers once more. “The parent had an extra 48 chromosomes.”
Barry's face paled. "48? Are you sure?”
“48? What does that mean?” asked Dick, looking rapidly back and forth between Tim and Barry.
Artemis gritted her teeth. “Humans have 48 chromosomes. The adult plant is half human.”
“Fully human,” Barry corrected. “And fully plant too. A symbiosis.”
“What does that mean?” asked Dick, scared of the answer he would soon receive.
“It means I think Wilkof merged himself with the plant.”

Mar’i lay in the darkness of the car’s trunk, helpless. She couldn’t tell how long it had been since she last felt the sun’s warmth on her skin. She tried to summon childhood memories of Tamaran, of the sun her father had found oppressive and her mother found liberating. But they were distant and blurred, echoes from another lifetime - and another timeline.
As the car rumbled on, she focused on her senses, trying to glean any information about her surroundings. The air was stale and musty, tinged with the scent of oil and rubber. The vibrations of the road beneath her reverberated through her body, a constant reminder of her captivity.
Eventually, the car came to a halt, and Mar’i braced herself as the trunk door creaked open, flooding the confined space with blinding light. Blinking rapidly, she squinted against the harsh glare, feeling the rejuvenating solar rays bathing her, a stark contrast to the cold darkness of her confinement.
Dr Wilkof loomed over her, his appearance now almost normal except for a slight pallor that hinted at something darker beneath the surface. He reached out, his hands enveloping her wrists, which were bound with withered rope. Thick, barbed vines extended from the sleeves of his coat, renewing her restraints and further draining what little power reserves she had left.
As he dragged her up out of the trunk, Mar’i found herself in the midst of a desolate car park, surrounded by nothing but empty space and the looming silhouette of a large hangar. She had nary a clue of where they were.
“It will be easier if you don’t struggle,” he said, his tone devoid of joy or malice, as if he were simply stating a fact. But Mar’i knew better than to trust his words.
As Wilkof led her towards the hangar, Mar’i stumbled along behind him, the vines around her wrists taut like a leash. She tried to reason with him, to appeal to the vestiges of his humanity buried beneath the madness that gripped him.
“You don’t have to do this,” she implored, unsure of how much of his humanity really remained. “The plant doesn’t have to control you.”
Wilkof's eyes gleamed with a haunted fervour as he shook his head, the vines’ grip tightening around Mar'i’s wrists. “I've sacrificed too much to stop now,” he muttered. Those words carried a strange quality,like they weren’t fully his. Maybe it was the plant talking, maybe they were words he had rehearsed to himself enough times for them to become hollow. “I won’t let it all be in vain.”
For a moment, Mar’i was left to wonder what he meant by that. Then she remembered what little she knew about him, and a shiver ran down her spine. (He had fed the rest of his team from the lab to the plant, a grim sacrifice to fuel his delusions of grandeur.*
“No one cared about mild-mannered Hunter Wilkof,” he continued, his voice cracking with bitterness. “The plant promised to make me someone special, to make me famous.”
Mar’i shook her head in disbelief as she continued to be lugged along. “The plant doesn’t speak,” she insisted with a rising urgency. “Its pheromones mess with your mind, make you see and hear things that aren’t there.”
But Wilkof brushed off her words with a scoff. “I don’t care,” he replied, his gaze fixed on the hangar ahead. “I fed the plant like I was told, but the fame never came. I let it eat the only thing I ever loved. But… nothing changed.”
Her heart yearned to find some way to free him of the plant’s clutches, to help him see the light, but she knew well what desperation could do to a person, if left unchecked. She knew how far someone could fall.
“Then I realised… I wasn’t meant for prizes and celebrity,” he continued, deranged. “That wasn’t what the plant had planned for us. It’s just like you said in your Tamaranean fairy tale, the Morning Eclipse and its legend. I knew we were meant for infamy, but just one plant and its keeper wouldn’t do the trick. We needed a bigger family.”
At this point, Hunter stopped, and the pair had finally reached the mouth of the hangar. Mar’i searched through the darkness, but was struggling to see straight at all thanks to the toxic, draining effect of her Morning Eclipse vine restraints.
Wilkof just stared into the darkness, and continued. “I tried taking cuttings, but no matter how much blood, meat or southern exposure I gave them… it wasn’t enough, and they wilted. It wouldn’t tell me why it wasn’t working, and all I knew was that the plant was from Tamaran,” he confessed, his voice growing hoarse with emotion. “So I went to look for Starfire, but she was in space. And then… then I found you. A hybrid like me.”
But throughout Hunter’s grim confession, Mar’i was still missing some important details. “How did you know the plant was from Tamaran?” She defied him, “It doesn’t have a mind of its own, so it couldn’t have told you.”
Hunter smiled. “I used to drive out into the countryside and just leave my car behind, go for these long walks to clear my head when city life got too much,” he explained, a shroud of something resembling peace slowly falling over him. “I always felt guilty for it, reasoning I should have been spending that time in the lab, looking for ways to help people. But this one day, a few years ago now, I realised it was all worth it.”
He then pulled a remote from his pocket and pressed a button at its centre. As the lights of the hangar flickered to life, they revealed a magnificent sight, something Mar’i immediately recognised as a First Class Vegan Star Cruiser - a Tamaranean space vessel from the shipyards of Okaara - resplendent in hues of silver and violet. The ship stood tall and proud, a beacon of extraterrestrial wonder amidst the mundane surroundings of the hangar. But why was it here? And how did Wilkof have it?
He gestured towards the ship with an odd gleam in his eyes. “Suddenly, and without warning, this spaceship came crashing down through the sky just a couple of miles away, out here, where it was just me there to see it,” he explained. “So I rushed over, I searched the wreckage… and that’s where I found it. It was only a sapling, a baby really, and it called out to me. I knew I needed to take it home, back to the lab, back for testing.”
Mar’i shook her head. How was he to have known back then that the plant was pulling his strings?
“I stashed the ship away, knowing its potential,” he confessed. “The ship’s computer confirmed its origins: Tamaran. Apparently it even used to belong to a princess named Komand’r.”
Mar’i's mind raced as she processed this revelation. Komand’r - also known as the tyrant queen Blackfire - was Koriand’r’s sister, and Mar’i’s aunt. Someone she had already come across early in her time in this universe. Then, just in time for him to answer it without her asking, Mar’i happened upon another awful question.
“I got some guys in to make repairs, and another guy to… basically hotwire the thing, before I fed them all to the plant. But the ship won’t fly without one final security measure,” continued Hunter, his gaze fixed on Mar’i. “A pilot with Tamaranean DNA.”
🔹🔹 🪶 🔹🔹
Back in the lab, Dick, Artemis and Tim continued to put the pieces together, now sans Barry who had raced off to join Wally in combing the city for either Mar’i or the Morning Eclipse, not knowing that both were far from the city limits.
“Why Mar’i?” Dick demanded. “What does Wilkof want with her? Her Starbolts could be used to fuel the plant and its cuttings, but that’d only make a difference at night, when they can’t get sunlight for themselves.”
Artemis nodded in agreement. “Surely they can survive a night without sunlight,” she surmised. “So what else would he come to Mar’i for?”
“Could it be her DNA?” posed Tim. “Maybe he has a use for DNA from a Tamanrean.”
“What kind of uses?” asked Dick. It wouldn’t be that, but his mind once again returned to the cloning vats of Cadmus. “No, it’s not that.”
“Then what else could it be?” Artemis sighed, frustrated. All of this analysis, brainstorming and scheming, and they were no closer to finding the missing Titan.
Then, Dick’s face blanched with fear. “She knows the way,” he said simply, his voice barely above a whisper.
“The way to what?” asked Tim, his own anxiety rising.
“To Tamaran,” Dick replied with dread. “A place where the sun shines bright enough for a hundred Morning Eclipses.”
🔹🔹 🪶 🔹🔹
In the dimly lit interior of what was once her aunt Komand'r's ship, Mar'i's heart raced with fear and uncertainty, now strapped into her seat beside the demented Dr Wilkof. The vessel, a marvel of Vega System technology, exuded an otherworldly aura, its sleek silver surfaces shimmering with an ethereal glow. Yet, to Mar'i, it felt more like a prison than a wonder.
She couldn't shake the sense of dread that gripped her. Tamaran, a place she once called home, now loomed before her as an unfamiliar and foreboding destination. She knew of the tumultuous history of this universe's Tamaran, the tales of military coups and the reign of the Orange Lantern Larfleeze, all of which added to her apprehension. The planet had hundreds of Morning Eclipses, but none had ever merged with a sapient vessel before. The killer plants were best survived by being completely ignored, which wouldn’t be possible with an intelligent host scheming and bringing the plants to their vulnerable prey. Could she inflict that threat on Tamaran?
Wilkof's jubilant smile did little to assuage her fears as he spoke. “When we reach the planet - with its gleaming sun - I’ll have everything I need. I'll create more Morning Eclipses, genetically superior ones, and they will bond with Tamaranean vessels to enhance their intelligence. And then there’ll be no more sacrifices, just feeding.”
Mar'i's stomach churned at the thought of being complicit in Wilkof's madness. But she also knew that she was in no position to bargain. And he knew it.
With a heavy heart and a sense of resignation, Mar'i steeled herself for the task ahead and the ship hummed to life around them, hurtling toward an uncertain destiny.
Then, as they quickly hit sonic speed, Hunter turned to his pilot and prisoner, keen to share a thought he hoped would bring her peace. “I want you to know… once we get to Tamaran, I’ll never have to return to Earth again. Don’t think about where we’re going, think about what we’re leaving behind. This is you saving planet Earth.”

2024.05.16 12:09 Additional-Sort1520 EV Charger Bays Reserved
Hi all,
Wondering if anybody knows how this works.
I am looking to buy an EV but since I live in an apartment with no chargers in the parking garage, I was considering using one of the few dotted around near my place.
I knew there were two bays a few mins up my street, but today I noticed that along with the parking sign and the sign warning about electric only vehicles, there are also license plates which usually means that space is reserved for only one vehicle. This is true for both bays on this charger. The bay is at the end of a public parking bays of around 5-6 cars which anybody can pay to use. None of the spaces are attached to houses, so to speak.
However, this charging point shows on all public chargers maps as if anybody is able to use them. I tried to Google it but couldn't find anything mentioning it (my Dutch is not the best on technical stuff). Does anybody know how this works?
Also to note: now I've seen this, I have spotted quite a few total energies bays in Hilversum that also have these license plates, all just on street parking.
Thanks a lot!

I knew there were two bays a few mins up my street, but today I noticed that along with the parking sign and the sign warning about electric only vehicles, there are also license plates which usually means that space is reserved for only one vehicle. This is true for both bays on this charger. The bay is at the end of a public parking bays of around 5-6 cars which anybody can pay to use. None of the spaces are attached to houses, so to speak.
However, this charging point shows on all public chargers maps as if anybody is able to use them. I tried to Google it but couldn't find anything mentioning it (my Dutch is not the best on technical stuff). Does anybody know how this works?
Also to note: now I've seen this, I have spotted quite a few total energies bays in Hilversum that also have these license plates, all just on street parking.
Thanks a lot!
2024.05.16 12:07 Caramel_blondeTee AITAH for falling for the man my partner nudged me to
Tried my best to cut it short 🙏🏼 I(f25) met, and was then soon after courted by a sophisticated man who turned out to be a big deal in my country and was at the height of his honor as his establishment was having a big national launch at that particular time.I knew non of this at the time. We’ll call him John. So John inevitably got my number since my company was largely responsible for supplying his establishment and I was thrown headfirst into handling our business with them. And really it took no more than 2 conversations for him to make his interest known. And like any other loyal girlfriend, I let my partneboyfriend(m25) of 7 yrs, call him Chris, know of John’s advances to which he, Chris gave me ‘permission’ to keep talking to John as that’s all it was at the time; business talk with random flirtations on his side and Chris was almost always part of the conversations from my side(John wasn’t aware of Chris at the time).. We, Chris and I would respond to John’s messages together and sometimes even have a giggle over his corniness… And don’t y’all judge Chris, he allowed this to happen because he was/is fully secure in our relationship and trusts that my heart is his, and that I would never leave him with anyone else. Which truly is the case even now.However, eventually, the conversations became just mine and John’s alone. We had so much in common and he really was the kind of man I had envisioned myself ending up with. We talked every day and sometimes till late night, and Chris would watch me smiling while texting. Then the inevitable happened, we fell for each other. HARD
It was two weeks in and since we’d only ever seen each other in a work setting, John and I had been discussing how nice it would be to see each other outside of work. It didn’t take long and as fate would have it(we are both believers in fate), the perfect scenario for us to finally meet, arose that same weekend. I felt like I had known this man for years at this point, so I wasn’t even big excited, I was just moderately looking forward to seeing him as if again… That feeling didn’t last for too long, because as soon as he arrived at the agreed meeting spot and got out of his car, a white luxury car, wearing a black top my weakness when worn by a man.
I had not noticed this about him before, since I had only seen him in his work overalls, but he was quite buff man with a very delectable height, and he looked like he had waited all his life to see me and the way he pulled me in for a hug proved just as much. We spend some time(though barely) together that night, drinks and conversations flowing. If I wasn’t sure before, then, after that night, I knew for a fact I was in love with John. And no, nothing happened further than just some lip locking, he was a real gentleman and I consider myself to be a lady of standard. But like all good things this too had to come to an abrupt end when I finally came to, and realized it was the early AMs and my partner and our child had been waiting for me to return home (over 30 missed calls and messages from my partner and sister, as this was very unlike me). To say, Chris was very upset by the time I was dropped off from the night is an understatement and from the texts on my phone he quickly gathered where and with whom I was.
An argument ensued and Chris gave me an ultimatum- it was either him and the life he had together or John. Of course I chose Chris and I really wish it had been that simple, but I also had undoubtable connection and feelings for John.
And here lies my problem. To that point, John and I had never really figured out what exactly was going on between us. However , we were both mildly, infuriated at the sudden surge of feelings we had towards each other, both being parents of one, cohabiting with our partners whom we were fully committed to. I hate to be long-winded, so let me know if I should make another post with a conclusion/update?

Tools like Google Ads and social media platforms offer sophisticated targeting options based on demographics, interests, behavior, and more. This precision targeting maximizes the efficiency of your marketing spend and improves your ROI. 4. Measurable Results One of the key benefits of digital marketing is the ability to track and measure results in real time. Analytics tools provide detailed insights into the performance of your campaigns, allowing you to see what's working and what's not. This data-driven approach enables continuous optimization of your strategies, ensuring better outcomes and more effective marketing. 5. Enhanced Engagement and Interaction Digital marketing facilitates direct interaction with your audience.

2024.05.16 12:02 nalaak Are Music Haram or Hala? Explanation by Prof Quraish Shihab
Translated from https://bincangsyariah.com/kolom/musik-itu-haram-atau-halal-ini-penjelasan-quraish-shihab/
BincangSyariah.Com – Several musicians who decided to emigrate completely sold all their musical instruments at low prices because of concerns that musical instruments were haram. Regarding this matter, Tantri Kotak also expressed similar concerns and asked about his concerns on the Shihab&Shihab Talk Show some time ago.
Meanwhile, according to Najwa Shihab, he once read a hadith narrated by Muslim which said that Allah is beautiful and loves beauty, and isn't art part of beauty itself? At this point, what is the law on music and what is its position in Islam?
According to Prof. Quraish Shihab, before entering into the law of haram-halal music, it would be good to explore the context of asbab nuzul which was the background to the prohibition of music during the time of the Prophet.
In its time, the Koran was the most beautiful work of art, even today. So when the Koran was revealed, Arab and non-Arab people were amazed by the melodious chanting of the Koran, which touched their hearts.
Meanwhile, at that time there were people who were unhappy with Islam and wanted to divert people from listening to the Koran. "So he went to Persia to buy good books which they hoped would divert the Muslim community from the Koran. "There are also those who invite singers," explained the Professor of Tafsir at the Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University.
So, because this song has the potential to distract people from the Koran, the following verse was revealed:
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ
It means; And among humans (there are) those who use useless words to lead (people) astray from the path of Allah without knowledge and make a mockery of the path of Allah. They will suffer a humiliating punishment (Qs. Luqman; 6)
According to the author of Tafsir al-Misbah, the word lahwun means something that is in vain. So the word lahwun here is understood as something unimportant that people do which results in important things being neglected or in a broader context doing something important results in more important actions being neglected.
“The point is here. If you don't ignore something important, don't neglect remembering Allah, then (music) is fine. "Religion forbids it if it takes up time in such a way that what is important is neglected," said Prof. Quraish.
Moreover, it is human nature to enjoy beauty, but don't let the beauty you hear or express make people deviate from nature. So the red line here is that music is allowed as long as it is within the limits of the corridors permitted by Islam.
"If the content of the song makes someone love their homeland more, or creates close friendships, that's fine as long as it doesn't lead to anything deviant from Islam," said Prof. Quraish again.
For example, the Prophet once had two female singers in his house. When Abu Bakr entered, he rebuked the singers for singing in the Prophet's house. The Prophet said, "Let it be, O Abu Bakr, now that it is Eid, please let people sing," but as soon as there was content in the song that was not correct, the Prophet straightened it out. This hadith is contained in the history of Imam Bukhari.
Meanwhile, regarding the statement saying that musical instruments are haram, this also needs to be straightened out. Because there are no laws for this tool, but when it is used there is a law that is born. The context of the flute being forbidden is because when it is used it makes people who listen careless, but the Prophet David also played the flute but that did not prevent him from remembering Allah.
“It is not the equipment that is prohibited but its use. In the past it was banned because it was used for something bad. "There is no law against tools, in my opinion," concluded Prof. Qurash.

2024.05.16 12:02 Faley016 New ravaging season in Crossout. Part 2
 | submitted by Faley016 to Crossout [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/1i0hboy1yq0d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52d82621d3e3216be552407cbf865c4735addd5d Part 1 Hello to both admirers and sworn enemies of the Ravagers! Let’s continue to learn about what new features are coming in the new season. This information would be of the most interest, both for those who dare to use the technology that belonged to the enemy and for their opponents. Here we go! We remind you that all the new features described in the “Developer blog” are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all. This applies not only to information about possible unique features of new parts, but also to the appearance of the parts themselves. Heavy wheel and Heavy wheel SThttps://preview.redd.it/5vkvied5yq0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=87123f8772d04a34952318aa3c952ccc6e17d9f0This hefty movement part of epic rarity combines fearsome appearance with superb parameters and predatory essence typical of Ravagers technology. The new wheels have excellent tonnage, the best among all the other wheels and even on par with some of the tracks. Their massive structure will surely be a point to consider in a car design, especially for those who prefer light and fast vehicles. The mass of the part will be quite sizeable, which will be partly compensated by high durability and the ability to restore it by “devouring” your fallen enemies. That’s right, we’re talking about the heart of the subject: the perk of the new movement part. Many of you are already familiar with the mechanic of restoring durability from car wrecks. With the new wheels, there will be new ways to use it and make your armoured car very hard to immobilize. Each enemy wreck near you will “nourish” the movement parts and help restore their durability. You just need to set up reliable fire support (from your allies or yourself) to be able to destroy enemies, and the issue of losing movement should never bother you again. Spider dronehttps://preview.redd.it/b9gs5dh7yq0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=4eb3c5ab7645e9ce42057d5395138166e76c7a12Brace yourselves, arachnophobes! You may have gotten used to large spider-like armoured vehicles, but how about small nimble spider drones? We’re certain that an encounter with a brood of those opponents will leave nobody unfazed. The new weapon is of epic rarity. The parameters of the module are not much different from other drone launchers you’re already familiar with. But it is not the “box” that matters; it’s what is inside of it. Each module carries several spider drones fitted with a miniature version of the “Gerrida” mechanical legs. The drones can move at high speed; they hit hard and can heat up the parts of an opponent’s vehicle using “Aurora”. They’re very maneuverable and can rapidly switch their position. Did you think you can just swat them like some annoying flies? Think again. If you destroy one of the drones, the cooldown time of the module significantly reduces, allowing the owner to launch a new drone twice as fast. Additionally, the new drone will be more tenacious and dangerous: its damage and the parts heating up speed will increase quite a bit. New cabinhttps://preview.redd.it/tcibckq8yq0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f8aedf9ea9e12cdccc9256ec161b7f767a4d1269A heavy cabin of legendary rarity with a good form factor (10x8x5) and peculiar appearance. Its parameters fit quite well in the line of existing cabins. The tonnage and mass limit of the new cabin exceed those of “Yokozuna”, the “lightest” of all cabins. It will become a good competitor to “Cohort”. This comparison is no accident: the perk of the new cabin will be very familiar to those who already used those cabins in battle. https://preview.redd.it/ex9f9rm9yq0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b51cda4d80eaf2d654e8c6bfa22ee42d0467bea The perk activates a timed bonus and launches up to 3 drones that follow nearby allies. But while “Yokozuna” bonus affects power and speed and “Cohort” boosts damage resistance, the new cabin will increase something you can forgive a lot for: the damage of your weapons. Hardly anyone will be able to say no to such a bonus, so get ready to become a very valuable ally in any battle! New structural partshttps://preview.redd.it/6z3agnsayq0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c0edfeb6934e90847224be1308355d826e80883That’s all for today. See you in the final blog post on the new season! To make waiting for it easier, we will give a small hint: expect 2 new weapons and additional structural parts. |
2024.05.16 11:59 Insignificant_Fish My sisters entitlement nearly sent me over the edge
I (22f) have a twin sister (non identical). We both live at home, I'm pursuing a bachelor in science and she's working. She recently bought her first house with her boyfriend and will be moving out soon, which honestly I am SO happy about.
She treats our dad like a personal assistent. She expects him to drive her places, thinks she's entitled to his car whenever she needs it, makes him clean up her mess, and worst of all - made him pitch in for her house. Houses are expensive, so I get that you'd ask your parents if they could help when they're better off than you are, but it's the way she just thought this was evident. She literally picked a house over budget, before asking him if he'd support her financially, and expected him to just pay the difference. She never helps with any householding either, and when asked to gets offended. Our parents go on vacation every once in a while, and it leaves me with all the household work. I asked her to do the dishes ONCE in an entire week, and she complained to my parents that I made her do all the work. Meanwhile, I cleaned the entire house, the bathrooms, watered the garden, cooked, did laundry, did the dishes on all the other days, fed the cat, cleaned the litterbox, took out the trash... and I have exams in a week.
And she is. so. hotdamn. boring.
Despite being twins, we have nothing in common. She has not a single interesting hobby, or even remotely unique interest. It's like if you asked AI to create the most basic human being in the world. She won't eat anything besides potatoes, meat and some veggies. She doesn't listen to any music besides the latest pop hits. She only watches the most crappy tv shows. And on top of all of it, she is just plain stupid. You can not have a conversation with her about anything more complicated than the weather. This is no exaggeration, we literally only talk about the weather. I've tried art, music, movies, literature, philosophy, science, politics, memes... She has no opinions on anything. She does not understand jokes of any kind, and has never said anything funny in her life. I don't even hate her or dislike her for it, it just baffles me. It's like living with a cardboard cutout.
Sorry, I don't really hate her per se, but I just needed to, well, get this off my chest.

2024.05.16 11:56 barbicrash Question about tenant rights for landlord entry (CA)
I apologize in advance for the detail but I want to provide nuance to get the best advice possible:
My boyfriend who I have been with for 3 years and have been living happily with unfortunately suffered from a bleed in his brain last month and had to have emergency brain surgery. He is now recovering in the hospital and at first things were pleasant with his parents (whom I’ve never met). His mother then let me know she didnt agree with homosexuality and asked me to stay away from the hospital. Additionally, I let his siblings come into my home to get clothes for him and they went through my things and found a letter from our neighbor who me and my bf both don’t get along with.
In this letter, this neighbor, who is very old and mentally ill, wrote us a letter after my bf and I had an argument and amongst a bunch of other crazy things claimed I had threatened my bf in the argument which is 100% untrue. The siblings found this letter in my drawer, took this letter from my home and are now trying to use it to paint me like I’m some bad person.
After this happened, I let my bf’s brother know that because of the letter situation, I no longer feel comfortable with them in the home and if they would like to take my bf’s belongings (he is going back to live with them while he recovers) they would need to do it on the last day of the month after I have moved out and I had already arranged for his closest friends to pack his things. The brother became hostile and said I dont have a choice in the matter. I didnt see the issue with my original arrangement because I was trying to avoid a confrontation but the father of my bf then reached out to my landlord and produced a durable power of attorney for my bf. How they lawfully obtained this POA is beyond me because 2 days before it was signed, the brother told me my bf was still having cognitive issues and you must be mentally sound to sign a POA.
I had emailed my landlord letting her know of the situation and when I had arranged for his stuff to be picked up. then she let me know that she arranged with the father to let them into my home this weekend claiming that the POA gives them the right to enter. I have seen the POA and nowhere on there does it say anything about entering the principal’s (my bf) and my home. Additionally I spoke to the police department and they told me the landlord does not have the right to allow a POA to enter without my consent. Our lease also does not have any provisions about letting people in during a situation similar to this.
I will be consulting an attorney tomorrow but I just wanted to know what my rights as a tenant are. I have no intentions of withholding my bf’s property, nor do I intend to damage or keep any of it, I just don’t want it to be collected while I am still living in the home as I do not want a confrontation or to escalate the situation. As far as I know, my bf is not far enough in his recovery to give any sort of consent because that is the excuse they’re using to isolate him from me and all of his friends so I’m not sure how he can authorize them coming when they please. I just wanted to know what rights I have as a tenant occupying the space because I feel like the parents are just trying to strong arm me rather than cooperate or propose an alternative date for me to approve. Does my landlord really not have the right to give then access to my place despite having a POA that makes no mention of entering his (our) premises? All it says in any reference to a living space is “Real estate transactions”. Any advice would be very helpful as this situation is stressing me out as I just want peace and for this family to stop trying to push me around.

In this letter, this neighbor, who is very old and mentally ill, wrote us a letter after my bf and I had an argument and amongst a bunch of other crazy things claimed I had threatened my bf in the argument which is 100% untrue. The siblings found this letter in my drawer, took this letter from my home and are now trying to use it to paint me like I’m some bad person.
After this happened, I let my bf’s brother know that because of the letter situation, I no longer feel comfortable with them in the home and if they would like to take my bf’s belongings (he is going back to live with them while he recovers) they would need to do it on the last day of the month after I have moved out and I had already arranged for his closest friends to pack his things. The brother became hostile and said I dont have a choice in the matter. I didnt see the issue with my original arrangement because I was trying to avoid a confrontation but the father of my bf then reached out to my landlord and produced a durable power of attorney for my bf. How they lawfully obtained this POA is beyond me because 2 days before it was signed, the brother told me my bf was still having cognitive issues and you must be mentally sound to sign a POA.
I had emailed my landlord letting her know of the situation and when I had arranged for his stuff to be picked up. then she let me know that she arranged with the father to let them into my home this weekend claiming that the POA gives them the right to enter. I have seen the POA and nowhere on there does it say anything about entering the principal’s (my bf) and my home. Additionally I spoke to the police department and they told me the landlord does not have the right to allow a POA to enter without my consent. Our lease also does not have any provisions about letting people in during a situation similar to this.
I will be consulting an attorney tomorrow but I just wanted to know what my rights as a tenant are. I have no intentions of withholding my bf’s property, nor do I intend to damage or keep any of it, I just don’t want it to be collected while I am still living in the home as I do not want a confrontation or to escalate the situation. As far as I know, my bf is not far enough in his recovery to give any sort of consent because that is the excuse they’re using to isolate him from me and all of his friends so I’m not sure how he can authorize them coming when they please. I just wanted to know what rights I have as a tenant occupying the space because I feel like the parents are just trying to strong arm me rather than cooperate or propose an alternative date for me to approve. Does my landlord really not have the right to give then access to my place despite having a POA that makes no mention of entering his (our) premises? All it says in any reference to a living space is “Real estate transactions”. Any advice would be very helpful as this situation is stressing me out as I just want peace and for this family to stop trying to push me around.
2024.05.16 11:55 BlackFlagTrades LinkedIn Tips To Land Interviews
I’ve been without a job since end of last year, but have begun to see a significant uptick in interview requests after a lot of experimenting on various platforms. For context, I’m averaging about 70 applications a week, with about 5% of those resulting in interview requests. Here’s my blueprint:
1) Make sure you have an optimized resume and LinkedIn profile, there are plenty of free resources on Reddit and online that will help you do this.
2) Sign up for LinkedIn Premium. It’s not cheap, but I’ve repeatedly found LinkedIn to “hide” many new job openings from regular users in order to give premium users first dibs. This is key…
3) Prioritize applying for jobs within the Jobs->Premium “Jobs where you’d be a top applicant”. Hirers can see when you’re a top applicant so this will immediately push you up in visibility.
4) Press “x” (aka remove) any jobs within the premium top applicant page that you’re either not interested in and/or show up repeatedly as spam. By doing this you allow LinkedIn to show you more recently posted and more relevant jobs.
5) When you see a relevant job within the premium top applicant page that has under 100 applicants, do your very best when submitting your application. Over 90% of my interviews have come from postings where I was within the first 100 applicants. It sucks but I’m certain now that many recruiters don’t even look at applications after a certain amount have come in, no matter how qualified you may be.
6) Check the premium top applicant page every couple hours, the jobs get updated as long as you’re clearing out positions you’re not interested in. While I’m now averaging 70 applications a week due to the specificity of my role, others might be able to do double or triple that while maintaining a +/- 5% interview rate.
7) Take it one day at a time and don’t put all. your hopes into any interview/position until you’ve signed the hiring contract. After every interview I pretend that it’s over and keep applying as if I just got laid off again. While I recommend checking LinkedIn for new positions every couple of hours during the day, definitely set boundaries and learn to relax and let go at night.
Obviously this won’t work for everyone, I work in marketing and it’s been super helpful, but either way I hope it is of some use to at least one of you. Don’t forget you’re not alone, this is the craziest job market in a long time but act positive and we’ll get thru it.

Unfortunately i’m having to post again as my mind is going a million mph…
I’ve posted the original post at the top but basically, 20 year old mechanic bought my 25 year old vehicle and has subsequently found issues with it now its in his possession.
I understand from the previous post that there are a lot of scams out there for these circumstances but the buyers argument is that i’ve sold him an unroadworthy vehicle which is illegal and i have 48 hours to give him a resolution otherwise hes taking me to small claims court.
He has posted me a letter with images of the faults that hes found, unfortunately they are present theres no arguing that. The issue i’m seeing is that it had an MOT i think in the middle of January and i sold it in the beginning of April so roughly over 2 and a bit months of it being done.
There are signs of corrosion to the underside (as you would expect due to a 25 year old vehicle) and i’m not an MOT tester but in my opinion these bits should not effect it, however…there is a section of the floor which appears to have been covered with fibreglass and i’m guessing he has since removed it to reveal a hole caused by corrosion, just for the record - i didn’t place the fibre glass there or anywhere on the vehicle.
I’m assuming that it was covered in underseal or something so the MOT tester was unaware it was present at the time of the MOT (the entire MOT history of the vehicle has had no advisories or fails for corrosion)
I replied to the buyer stating that i’m not a mechanic so i advertised it to the best of my knowledge so i am unaware of the issues that hes found.
I genuinely feel bad for the guy, i was aware of minor issues to the vehicle but things like a cigarette hole in the seat or scratches to the dashboard, things you would consider wear and tear on a 25 year old vehicle.
If i had known about these issues he has found, i would of got them rectified prior to sale or if they were found on the inital inspection prior to the deposit being left, i could’ve given him options like walking away if hes not interested or renegoiating the price to reflect these issues if he did want the vehicle.
I’m just trying to prepare myself for court because i do feel like its going there, how would this work? Hes not wrong, there are issues that would render the vehicle unroadworthy but i was unaware of them? I’m not sure how to prove that i was unaware of them other than the MOT history…
I guess one bit that could be in my favour is that he is a mechanic by trade. Looking through the images he sent me, every fault but one (as it was under the rear seat so i wasn’t even aware of it) could potentially be visible from a roadside inspection so he has missed these issues. He did do an inspection by himself, using a torch looking in the wheel arches, underneath and in the boot. Its only when hes got it on a ramp he has noticed them. I keep seeing the phrase online “caveat emptor” is this an actual legal phrase?
Going forward, how does small claims court work? I have no evidence - he is right, it is an unroadworthy vehicle but i didn’t intentionally sell him it as i was unaware of the issues rendering it unroadworthy but i’m just not sure how to prove it? I feel like its a case of he said, she said?
Would the judge consider my lack of mechanical knowledge and the no issues on the MOT history as evidence that i thought it was a good condition vehicle and sold it in good faith?
Also how long does small claims court take? Is it a matter of weeks or months?
Once again, any help is much appreciated to settle my overthinking brain!

Hello! I'm looking for a bit of advice
So this is my first year driving and my car insurance cost was £2700 (a shitting lot) and obviously this was a telematics policy. However when I got the sensor to fit to my car, the sensor would not connect to my phone. This was because I had taken out a previous policy for a different car before deciding I was going to buy a different one last minute. The app on my phone wouldn't allow me to connect to the sensor stating an error message that my car insurance had been cancelled therefore I had no need to connect (this was in reference to the previous policy, aka the app wouldn't recognise I had taken out a new one)
As this was a technical error of course I reported it immediately sending several emails back and forth with their maintenance teams. Each time I contacted them I asked if it will mean my insurance is cancelled because I cant get it connected, each time they replied "your insurance will not be cancelled". After several automatic emails from the company about "if I didn't install the sensor my insurance would be cancelled" (each time being sent to the maintenance team saying hey this is saying my insurance will be cancelled) they further reassured me that it would NOT be cancelled.
So anyway it got cancelled. And I had to call and get it reinstated and go through the whole process of "well we sent you many warning emails" yes but you also sent me many it will not be cancelled emails too etc.
Eventually they reinstated it, and sent me financial recompense of £150. It is now time for me to renew my policy and they state they cannot renew my policy due to "changes in their underwriting" and I'm just wondering if I need to when applying for different insurance do I need to tick the "has your insurance been cancelled" box as it was falsely cancelled and reinstated. Or am I fucked?

SpyMyto x 2
Pics for Everything Else
Hey, all, got a few knives for sale. As is convention, YOLO is king.
BNIB Spyderco SpyMyto x 2 (#432 & #424)
SV: $255 shipped
My buddy and I ordered them together from KnifeJoy. We both do not enjoy them, at all. Definitely well-made, but not our cup of tea. I got #432 (Top) and #424 (Bottom) for sale. They've been flicked open between 5 to 7 times and promptly put back into their pouches. No cutting, carrying, nor sharpening. The only issue I can find between the two of them is the tension on #424's pocket clip seeming less than ideal (Tried to show in pictures; have not pocketed, so would not know if it has any real bearing on retention). Unsure if a bit of tightening on the clip torx bit would solve the problem, but I'm not risking it and will leave it to the future owner to mess with. Comes with the pouches, pamphlet, sticker, and attached hang tag.
LNIB (Disassembled; cleaned) Green Thorn Inkosi Insingo Clone (Unmarked variant, VG-10)
SV: $65 shipped SOLD
Got this guy from the ol' Ali Ex. Quality clone, down to the spine crowning and action. It was covered in grease upon arrival, so I quickly disassembled, lubed, and reassembled. Has not seen any cutting/carrying/sharpening, save for the disassembly and a bit of flicking. Juxtaposed with a legit Inkosi, the only tell, save for the difference in markings, being the weight feeling slightly off. Definitely the most impressive clone I've held thus far. Comes with the greasy baggie and Green Thorn nylon pouch.
Lightly used/carried Civivi Elementum in Ultem/Blackwashed D2 "Piss Edition"
SV: $50 shipped
Carried in side pockets a handful of times. Cut a few sheets of paper and packets of Liquid IV I couldn't manage to tear open with my calloused thumbs. Has not been sharpened. No tangible signs of wear. Comes with pouch, box, stickers, baggie, everything.
BNIB Jufule Praetorian in D2 with steel construction
SV: $30 shipped
This heavy guy is also off of the Ali Ex. A fun, bulky novelty. Has not seen cutting, carry, or sharpening. Wiped down the grease upon unboxing. Comes with original Jufule box and greasy baggie.
For trading purposes, I'm only interested in Spyderco Southards in a decent condition. Thanks!

SpyMyto x 2
Pics for Everything Else
Hey, all, got a few knives for sale. As is convention, YOLO is king.
BNIB Spyderco SpyMyto x 2 (#432 & #424)
SV: $255 shipped
My buddy and I ordered them together from KnifeJoy. We both do not enjoy them, at all. Definitely well-made, but not our cup of tea. I got #432 (Top) and #424 (Bottom) for sale. They've been flicked open between 5 to 7 times and promptly put back into their pouches. No cutting, carrying, nor sharpening. The only issue I can find between the two of them is the tension on #424's pocket clip seeming less than ideal (Tried to show in pictures; have not pocketed, so would not know if it has any real bearing on retention). Unsure if a bit of tightening on the clip torx bit would solve the problem, but I'm not risking it and will leave it to the future owner to mess with.

2024.05.16 11:28 ApolloHereToHelp 1st Central Insurance Cancellation BS
Hello! I'm looking for a bit of advice
So this is my first year driving and my car insurance cost was £2700 (a shitting lot) and obviously this was a telematics policy. However when I got the sensor to fit to my car, the sensor would not connect to my phone. This was because I had taken out a previous policy for a different car before deciding I was going to buy a different one last minute. The app on my phone wouldn't allow me to connect to the sensor stating an error message that my car insurance had been cancelled therefore I had no need to connect (this was in reference to the previous policy, aka the app wouldn't recognise I had taken out a new one)
As this was a technical error of course I reported it immediately sending several emails back and forth with their maintenance teams. Each time I contacted them I asked if it will mean my insurance is cancelled because I cant get it connected, each time they replied "your insurance will not be cancelled". After several automatic emails from the company about "if I didn't install the sensor my insurance would be cancelled" (each time being sent to the maintenance team saying hey this is saying my insurance will be cancelled) they further reassured me that it would NOT be cancelled.
So anyway it got cancelled. And I had to call and get it reinstated and go through the whole process of "well we sent you many warning emails" yes but you also sent me many it will not be cancelled emails too etc.
Eventually they reinstated it, and sent me financial recompense of £150. It is now time for me to renew my policy and they state they cannot renew my policy due to "changes in their underwriting" and I'm just wondering if I need to when applying for different insurance do I need to tick the "has your insurance been cancelled" box as it was falsely cancelled and reinstated. Or am I fucked?
