Hello guys, im traveling with my LTD M1007 ET and its case (14.5" x 44" x 4.25"). International flight going with Delta and coming back with Latan. How difficult is to bring the guitar with me in the cabin? I know the airplane has a the coat closet and the case fits on the overhead with no big issues but... does anyone has any experiences to share? I dont have any softbag or softcases. bc its a 7 string guitar and the headstock deonst fit, the zipper dont close.

Hi All,
Well, if my last post about Wireguard wasn't justification enough for my sometimes lack of common sense then this might surely confirm that sentiment.
My current setup is an HP Z600 workstation with 96G ram and 2 mirrored pairs of 20tb drives that, frankly, was fine, but, like most of us, it's never enough so I went ahead and bought a Dell R730xd 12 bay server which was delivered to me yesterday. A piece of hardware which I probably have no business using with my relative little knowledge of Truenas and complete lack of knowledge with enterprise class servers. Anyways, lets give it a shot, right.
My goal is to simply be able to move my current Truenas Scale setup from my HP Z600 to the Dell R730xd. That's it. Unfortunately, my assumption that this was going to be a simple task (based on some videos I saw) was incorrect, to say the least.
These are the specs: Dell PowerEdge R730XD 12LFF 2SFF 2x E5-2667v4 3.2GHz =16 Cores 384GB H730 4xRJ45 (received) Dell P2R3R PERC HBA330 12G SAS HBA Mini Mono Controller (on order) Dell 064PJ8 Intel X550-T4 Quad-Port 10GB RJ-45 Network (on order, but possible frivolous purchase)
Somehow last night, based on more videos and posts I read, I believed that I could somehow change the H730 raid controlled to work in HBA mode. So, I went ahead and basically tore apart my existing HP machine, pulled all the drives and installed them into the Dell server. 4 x 20tb 3.5 drives into bays 1-4 in the front and one 2.5 SSD into one of the 2 rear bays for the operating system. Fired up the jet fighter (aka server) and after installing some ear plugs, began my venture into iDrac. WTH, I had no clue where to begin and became quickly frustrated and overwhelmed. So, while searching through different menus I was googling what each meant. My first instinct was to see if the Dell server was recognizing my drives so I finally found the menu the showed attached drives, and nothing! It said no drives found. Now what! Well, this is where the lack of common sense starts to take effect. Turns out that I installed the drives incorrectly. The side of the caddy is marked with screw holes at SAS and SATA points, so I went ahead and decide to install the drives using the SATA screw holes. This was obviously the wrong way. When the caddies were fully inserted and locked into place the drives sat about 1/2 inch away from the rear backplane connectors. So they weren't even connected!!!! Talk about a rookie mistake. Thankfully I can laugh about it now. I never did figure out how to change controller to HBA mode.
Anyways, to not drag this story on too much longer, it was getting really late and I decided to just wait for the HBA330 to arrive before I went any further so I pulled all the drives out of the Dell and reinstalled them, back into the HP, as I needed the server up and running.
Hopefully this won't be too difficult to switch over to the new Dell server, but there are a couple of concerns/questions?

1. Other posts have mentioned that Truenas Scale doesn't work very well with H730 switched to HBA mode which is why I purchased an HBA330. Is there anything else to do after installing the HBA330 or will it just work as is?
   
2. This Dell server was listed with coming with 4 x 1Gb ethernet ports daughter card, but actually came with 2 x 1Gb ports and 2 x 10Gb ports. Not sure if this is correct or not but for some reason when I plug a standard ethernet cable into the 1Gb ports they go in and click/lock in place, but when I plug the same cable into any of the 10Gb port they go in but don't lock into place. They just fall out. Am I missing something? Is this normal or are they broken or do 10Gb ports require a different connector. I've never worked with 10G ports before, but assumed they were the same as 1Gb port.
   
3. Can I boot Truenas Scale OS directly from the rear 2.5 drives and will the system automatically recognize the OS to boot? I would like to reinstall Truenas Scale on two 2.5 SSD drives in mirror using the two rear drives and then import my settings as per instructions.
   

Guess that's all I have for now until the parts arrive and I roll the dice one more time. Hopefully with more luck.
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated and please don't hesitate to ask me anything. I'll be happy to answer to the best of my knowledge. Cheers! :)

I have a nice Deathwish deck I use him in but I have a few questions:

• what are the best cards to use with him (duh lol)
  
• is his first form or second form better? Is there no way to use both?
  
• can Arachas Queen be used well on him?
  

I have two other Deathwish decks that feel way better (Viy and one that triple summons the big cyclops), can’t tell if I’m just not using Dagon well or what.
There’s no crazy big finish compared to the other decks. Any advice?
(Sorry I don’t know card names)
Have:
Urn of Shadows
Onieromancy (pick a card with echo)
Dagon
Brewess (summon two bronzes)
Weavess(? Triggers deathmarch stuff when they’re played)
Arachas Queen
Whispering Hillock (gold, lets you pick a deathmarch card)
Gold water hag that lets you activate a deathmarch ability
Gold card that lets you play any unit
Two frogs
Lots of bronze deathmarch guys (enough i can activate brewess four times and flood the field if need be)
Green dogs with consume
Desert banshee
Any ‘why do you have that?’ Or ‘why don’t you have this?’ Debating Haunt but idk.
Seems like a fun card but I also feel like I’m missing something.

I like making maps and started making a “Places to Live Guide” a while back. I picked it back up and updated it as the “is this area safe?” questions have picked up.
I want to promote our region and encourage people moving here. I also understand these questions get old, hence the responses of “search the sub” and “do research.” It also frustrates me that people only ask about safety. Sure, safety is one consideration but asking only about safety seems unhelpful. This map attempts to show more things that might matter to a person picking a place to live.
I defined 79 boundaries inside 270 in St. Louis. First, anywhere outside 270 or metro east is going to be true suburbs. Second, inside 270 should be our city limits if we were like most other North American cities. I stuck to 79 areas for the 79 neighborhoods of St. Louis City.
The boundaries are not true to neighborhoods and municipalities, but rather drawn to where the rating in one of the categories may change significantly (normally cost). Most neighborhoods/munis are split across more than one boundary. I named the boundaries by the any part of the neighborhood/muni covered.
The formula for ratings: Recreation + Walkability + Transit + Safety + Character - Cost
Ratings 1-10 for each category (10 being positive except for cost where 10 is high cost thus being subtracted from the rating).
Color Key- Red: 30+ rating Orange: 25+ rating Yellow: 20+ rating Green: 15+ rating Blue: 10+ rating Purple: Below 10 rating
I collected the following data for a score that corresponds to a rating in the individual categories:
Recreation: number of bars, restaurants, shops, attractions (includes parks) within boundaries + 1 mile
Walkability: groceries within distance from various points in boundary, wide roads, conflict points, miles of bike lanes, walkable jobs within boundaries
Transit: metrolink stops, high frequency bus routes, low frequency bus routes
Safety: property and violent crime mapping since Jan 2022
Character: historic districts, business districts, diversity
Cost: random sampling of average rent cost and purchase price
Top ratings- Overall Rating: Central Downtown (#1 overall) Recreation: Midtown-Covenant Blu Grand Center (tied #4 overall) Walkability: Central West End (Hospital District) (#2 overall) Transit: Central Downtown (#1 overall) Safety: Kirkwood-Des Peres-Glendale-Oakland (tied #76 overall) Character: Benton Park-Benton Park West-Marine Villa (#3 overall) Cost: Wells Goodfellow-Kingsway West (tied #73 overall)
Obviously for example, I understand a place like Ladue is desirable to live but rates low. The ratings are meant to favor well-rounded/mixed areas for the masses. If someone has money and wants a big house away from things, of course Ladue would be a nice place to live. Most places that rated low had low safety or high cost, though there are a few that punched above (Downtown Clayton for example rated well). Downtown St. Louis rates well because its built environment is objectively well-rounded. But of course not everyone wants a highly mixed use area.
I then split the places into sections to help people with a starting point: -Highest Rated Overall -A Lil’ Bit of Something for Everyone -Expensive Big Homes -Bang for Your Buck -Low Rating but Low Cost
I added three good things about each place because I think every place has great people and potential. Plus, it may allow someone looking for something specific to find a place that otherwise might be overlooked.
Maybe this could be pinned or used for quick response after some tweaking and allow people to overlay properties on the map or begin their search. After all, I want people to move here and stay here because they like it.
Please give feedback on where you disagree and what might make the map more readable or helpful. If anyone knows how to add a key, I would like to add one.

As I post this, I see a “Job offer in St. Louis…everything I see ranks it most dangerous place to live…” Man, it is disheartening. I want to see us grow so badly…

Hi everyone! I'm wondering if there are any UFC or similar martial arts events happening in or near Abu Dhabi? Would love to check out some live matches! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
On another note, I have been here for months and only saw 1. The grocery store (once a month), 2. The beach (one time), 3. Church (weekly) and 4. the mall (one time). I just work a lot and don’t get out enough and want to know if there are things I can go do alone for fun that don’t cost a lot.

note the possibly popular. With women online at least it seems divided. also I've made posts about men being wrong too so its not just about internalized sexism or whatever.
I find most of the reasons are that women dress up and spend time doing their makeup are owed payment for their time.
Like no. You want to look good because you want someone yo want you. How is it any different that the man doing work to get a date. Whatever the work is. If he pays for the date then its because he wants the girl badly. If he's not paying for you clearly you aren't worth it. So yes it goes with men too..women don't owe you anything just because you chose to pay for the date. Men don't owe you because you chose to dress up..
Another one "women are putting themselves at risk..." A risk you chose. Him paying for dinner isn't gonna offset him probably murdering you after. That's just stupid.
"I'll be the one carrying the baby and off work. He needs to prove he has the ability to care for me". Did you even talk? Whatever he doesn't want kids? Plus unless your pregnancy is bad a lot are only off work for about 4 months. After that paternity leave is not only for women.
Anyone can stay home with the kid if need be.

Hello guys,
I‘m pretty new to HubSpot, I started by creating contacts but many times one or more dissappears. For example I entered the informations of some contacts and it said I had 242 contacts. When I came back later and refreshed the site, there were only 208.
I can‘t find anything like this on the internet, is this normal or known by anyone?
Thank you

Hello everyone, ***this is more a rant post haha just fyi I just finished my phone call with my mentor about changing my degree from human Services to the new health sci degree. Admittedly I have failed D391 for the second time now but seem to do really well on the practice tests and quizzes (all initially) off book-I just can’t seem to retain the information under pressure. My heart just isn’t in this degree and I have expressed to my mentor as such, and, that I ultimately took on this degree because I loved the school model and checked off a box to ONE grad school I reached out to before applying. That being said, since my enrollment, WGU has unveiled the new degree which checks ALL the boxes to grad schools I reached out to in my state. I really tried to stay strong with this degree and move forward, however I just can’t shake these terrible realities that I know about myself-my hearts just not in this degree and even if I have to fall back on just the BS rather than the masters/doctorate level, I know there are more fields with a Health sci degree that I’d find far more enjoyable and rewarding than human services. I’m just being honest and clear with myself and mental tendencies and patterns with my learning disabilities.
So my questions for my mentor that he will be getting back to me on are:
*I am already passed the minimum units for a full time student on fafsa and have completed 4 shared courses, two of which were in much later terms so bouncing around within reason is not an issue for me at all.
1) Understanding the course I am struggling in is not a shared course with HS, may I “drop” the current course I have not started yet and continue on to the shared courses til I can switch majors?
2)can I simply just not do this course and continue to have classes fed into my current term that coincide with each other? (Obviously within reason-I don’t intend to try to complete introduction to epidemiology right now but I can absolutely tackle human growth and development or cultural awareness etc. I will be moving soon, too so I’m not apposed to take a little break til things get rolling in the right direction if I need to.)
3) Can I start my new degree sooner than October as he told me, and, if so, what is the easiest way to have the course I’m struggling in dropped or wiped clean with the least negative outcome? (Only BS HS newbies can start from the June 1st date right now I guess)
Folks, I know he was trying to encourage me to continue on this specific course but also understood what I’m dealing with and sent me as much info as he could at that moment. I really hope I don’t have to change mentors when I switch.
Anyway, I really appreciate everyone in this community and it has helped me breathe in times of panic and stress because I can clearly see I’m not alone! I will post an update asap soon as I get new info.
I am not changing because I can’t or don’t want to do a class, but it sure was the biggest bug to really look in the mirror and reflect my needs for growth and this just ain’t it. So hopefully this helps someone who also is thinking of making the switch to a degree that more aligns with their needs.
Fully transparent, I’m applying to Chinese medical and herbal school so the new degree far more suits my needs of health and science related classes with labs included!

1) How severe is/was your acne? 2) how much are you taking? How often? And for how long? 3) How long did it take to start working? 4) Have you had any side effects? Any adverse effects? (Hair shedding, vision, cholesterol, headaches, liver issues, etc.) 5) do you think getting it from an online service is risky? 6) if you’re on it for 1+ year, what happens if you’d like to get pregnant? This is something we may consider in 10ish months.
My situation: I’ve had few-several months long bouts of cystic acne throughout my adulthood (once around 19-20, then again in my mid 20s, and now this one at 28). The ones from previously got bad, but with consistent topical tretinoin, acids, and diligent skincare for years, it got better to the point where I had good skin with some PIH and icepick scars here and there remaining. Suddenly, and perhaps it was with the increasing life stress, the acne started creeping up on me this past February. Since then, it has not budged. I’ve tried what I used before to no avail—Consistent skin care, exfoliation 2x per week with acids, 10% sulfur, zinc pyrithione soap, topical benzoyl peroxide, moisturizing, double cleansing, and ensuring anything that touches my skin is not gonna clog it. I tried tea tree oil, pimple patches, an expensive carbon facial. I always use sunscreen. I stopped using makeup sponges and brushes. I have always obsessively washed my hands before touching my face for any reason and yes, my pillow covers are changed regularly. I’ve tried not using makeup. Zitsticka supplements which used to help control my acne and were one of the reasons i had really good skin are now not working at all. I tried not eating fried foods, more water.. you name it.
I used to use curology (0.05% tret, 4% niacinamide, 10% azaleic acid) and it is one of the things that cured my acne in the past. I will admit, I stopped it for a few months and was not using it consistently, but my skin was still good. I tried using it again and it has not helped at all. I got on apostrophe, and they prescribed me doxycycline for 3 months, but I already have GERD and IBS so that messed up my gut horribly and had to stop it. They also prescribed me a topical (0.05% tret, spironolactone, and tranexamic acid) which, you guessed it, is also not working.
To make matters more complicated, my wedding is in September and this is destroying my self-esteem. In addition to typical wedding stress, I’m in my last few months of med school, currently in stressful demanding rotations while also studying for (quite literally) the most important exam of my life, in addition to 3 other exams I need to finish by August.
At this point, I’m desperately considering getting on low dose accutane, and hoping it fixes my acne by the wedding.
TLDR: I started breaking out at 28 years old since February and it will not stop. I tried every treatment out there, including what helped me get rid of acne in the past, and it will not budge. Currently considering low dose accutane in hopes of my acne going away by my wedding in September.
Thank you and sorry for writing so much😫

I don’t understand why in the hell was she crying every time she was getting a negative pregnancy test?!! I mean, COME OOOOON girl, you have 4 kids already. Isn’t that enough?? She already knows the risk of it and that she can leave her kids without a mother for her immature decisions. Why the urgency of getting pregnant from your ex “best friend” husband?? This girl doesn’t even know him at all. They are in a stupid honeymoon phase that will end up at one point because they started as a game doing threesome and other sick things. I can tell you she will end lonely and with 5 kids or even more since that’s the only thing she thinks about I guess 💀I understand a first time you have messed up having so many kids with a guy you didn’t know well but doing it all over again with this other dude. Kyra is a total mess.

We paid up our rent with our taxes but that’s it. My husband is the only one able to work - I am fighting for disability with a leg problem. I live in a small town. I’ve tried to find side jobs to do but none available. My husband is barely getting to work as our car broke down last week. I took in 2 of my little cousins a few months ago out of foster care and I have 4 of my own. I maybe should have reconsidered. I can’t afford my cousins. The state doesn’t help me with anything for them. But we are trying and thought it was the right thing to do. Our water bill is gonna be cut off in 4 days. I owe $150 left on it for it to stay on. If you can help - please please help. I will show proof of payment with any funds I receive. Thank you in advance

Hello beautiful people of this sub! I don't think I'm particularly good at introductions and the like, so l' do us all a favour and get straight to the point.
I'm a 19 year old guy, from North America (Mexico, if it matters), somewhat chubby and very tall (according to all accounts), who has always struggled with sociability and everything requiring interaction with others, however, l've decided to start breaking out of this shell, and I decided to give posting in here a try! Who knows? I might just find exactly what I'm looking for.
About me, in case the flair wasn't clear enough, 1 am somewhat of a heavy gamer! My favourite types of games include open world exploration ones (think like Minecraft), and JRPG's (such as Persona and Shin Megami Tensei). I use all three main gaming platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch), so if we can arrange a session and play together that could be lovely!
I'm also a big fan of music, I spend most of my free time listening to it and I even own a vinyl collection, which I have posted on my instagram for a while now! We can talk about that for literal hours and I can't possibly get bored, recommend me your favourite songs or artists! I can even give you some recommendations myself.
Other smaller hobbies l've got also include movies (I've got a letterboxd), and reading, which in turn has made me somewhat of a writer, l've given writing a try a few times before and like to think I'm well spoken and educated, though that is something I can't award myself on purely ethical grounds. Seems a bit self-aggrandising in my opinion.
I've also got my fair share of baggage in the form of stories of various experiences and tragedies in my life (most revolving around men, funnily enough) so we can also wallow in each other's pain if that's something you're looking to do! I can talk about anything, anytime, just as long as we're both in the same wavelength, it'll be all smooth sailing.
If I sounded like something you'd like to bother with, don't hesitate to hit me up! And we don't even have to chat extensively through here, l've got Discord, Snapchat, Instagram, or of the enough trust is there, we can even text! I leave it up to you, one thing about me is that I am insanely adaptable, and will always try to make sure you are comfortable and feeling good when we talk.
Well, with this long ass post over, see ya soon! :)

I am 6’4” and weigh just north of 200 lbs. I need an e scooter to ride 2 miles to a train station and then one mile to my workplace. Any suggestions on reliable and sturdy makes/models for a bigger guy like me for a total commute of around 6 miles/day?

Been replaying New Vegas lately, as many of you probably have been. This is my first time though fully finishing it.
It's been great, but its made me think of how my first attempt went. I was aiming for a caveman. Most points being fed into unarmed, survivalist, medicine, and one/two handed melee. No intellegence. No allegiances. Butt naked.
This seemed like a decent way of going about it. I thought Benny was going to be the main focus since it seemed like such a universal goal to hunt after the guy who shot you in head and just have crazy stuff happen along the way.
Grug #6 was a little disappointed when it turns out the game forces this narrative that all of a sudden my barely literate caveman gives a shit about what happens to the strip/mojave. This and the fact my build was coming apart at the seams, I dropped it for a while.
I'm now playing a much safer guns/luck/speech build and am nearly at the end of both the DLC and campaign. Its been awesome.
But I was wondering, has anyone made a mod where you can cut to credits with an (eat the chip) mod for low intelligence builds after looting Benny?
If not, how difficult do you assume making this myself would be?

Literally me staring at the credits
So I have just finished Yakuza 0 and... I don't know what to say. Everything I did in this game, everything I saw was perfect ot the point of just loving it. It was the best game experience. I don't know much what to say, I just want to say it here lol. But damn... It was peak, I want to play the next yakuza (kiwami), but my PC sucks ass so I can't, so I will just cope with it until I buy new one but damn. This game was peak. And the ending was way better, it was perfect to the point making me cry. I mean... The ending of Majima making him the "Mad dog of Shimano" and Kiryu's ending (funny how there is so much spoilers for Kiwami)... It was just peak.
And for everyone who died (Awano, Oda, Tachibana, Lee, Sagawa...), they all were nice characters to me and I liked them even tho they were villains. I mean, even Sagawa who I thought in the very beginning was a dick head was a chad in the end (sad for him). Best villain from Yakuza 0, actually a chad. He is not villain frfr. And for Oda etc., it was too sudden yet too perfect actually. It ended where it should, where it was supposed to end and how it was supposed to end.
Actually it made me think this is probably my favorite game all of the time. Everything was just too perfect (i repeat myself, don't I?)... Music, characters everything... Was just too damn perfect.
And that's all guys I wanted to say probably.... I have been actually crying for like 10 minutes when just seeing credits, it was perfect. Hope I get a new PC so I can finally start Kiwami 1.

Hi rails
first I want you all to tell that I developed personally years long in Laravel & Ruby on Rails. If you ask me, Ruby on Rails beats any framework by miles in terms of developer happiness and productivity. Also the community is a little bit nicer focusing on best practices (sure Laravel does that to), giving me kind of a unspoken mantra that everybody follows - the love for the language itself. Rails gives me also more of a collective true open source mindset compared to Laravel where decisions are potentially based on the wellbeing of their Laravel LLC.
So years went by programming Laravel at first I started to dislike the verbosity and the fact that everything is built on another framework basically - the import statements made me sick and made me love Rails even more in comparison. When I started learning Rails the "not so shiny documentation" always pushed me to dig deeper into the underlying functionality which made me a way better developer - so I guess: thanks for that rails!
Anyway I digress, as I really like rails I am starting to wonder how sustainable it actually is outside of the developer mindest itself. There was always one question that bothered me "can I find affordable people for my small business if I need them?". As big tech companies are built on rails they will always have a financial leverage compared to my small shop regarding acquiring new talents. If I search for rails jobs in my country there is only a handful of jobs available but what is more concerning is that those posts are always six months old or even older, letting me think that they can't find anybody for what they offer. On the other side I can find a php developer on an afternoon in a coffeeshop. This overall opens one serious business question "am I risking the growth of my business by using rails"? So I can't answer this question as this are potential future problems but I thought I will ask you guys how legit this thoughts at the end are, in hope to get some insights from people that already went that path.
Let me know what you think or maybe even have experienced yourself!

Pretty much the title, and it happened pretty naturally as I tend to flush out ideas and construct while writing, only starting with a small idea then building it up. Snowball effect!
Anyways, my world is fantasy, and recently I’ve been working on how and what magic is in my creation. In my place, magic is used and found in many forms, because of what’s called Magic Essence (everything is WIP), which is similar like Dark Matter in the aspects that it lingers in space and isn’t seen by the naked eye. Pretty basic stuff Im sure, but that’s not really the point as it is just some background information.
When planets and stars alike form, they contain the magic essence within the core, and it radiates throught out (it also radiates from the sun, so plenty to go around lol).
My main planet, however, had to eat some of their sibling planet’s essence and planetary materials to be whole. This is where the “flat earthers” come around. There’s a Celestial-worshipping religion, that has an extremist splinter group, and those are the ones who villainize the sibling planet. Causing a decent sized group of people who simply cannot fathom that their planet is only the way it is because of the sibling planet’s sacrifice.
This is still a relatively small group of the sentient races on the planet in retrospect, as this is one of a few religions, and it is pretty much regarded as scientific fact to everyone else.
I mostly just wanted to share, cuz I’m laughing to myself lightly, just thinking about this group of beings. Do you guys have any “flat-earthers”? Or straight up factual deniers?
I can’t wait until I’m working on my worlds version of Conspiracy Theorist, which will for sure include some theories about the real world we live in😭

Ivaxa has been well known for his high BPM stream plays along with his obscene singletapping skills over the course of a few weeks at the time of writing. His most notable achievement is his S rank on Deceit [pishi’s Extra] +DT (Score) (Replay). However there is some unusual behavior that Ivaxa has that should be looked into. This thread will look into quite a few cases of these weird findings.
As of the current date, May 16th, 2024, we have collected enough information to submit our public review of Ivaxa’s activity. We are asking the osu! staff and other independent researchers to validate our information and proof-check every single aspect of it. If our findings would be proven to be incorrect and/or not substantial - that's completely fine. Our goal is not to just blindly accuse but to establish the truth.
This document contains currently collected information about Ivaxa, his scores, profiles, and potential connections to other “alt” accounts in the game. We, as an independent team, are trying to establish the legitimacy or lack thereof of said player.
As always, harassment of any of the people mentioned/involved in the report is inappropriate. Please be civil when partaking in the discussion.
Replays, and VODs can be found in a google drive at the end of the thread so you can investigate and see moments listed in the thread yourself.
But first, here's a few things to consider:

1. Ivaxa’s mouse is a HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2, he allegedly plays on 800 DPI with a 0.62x sens multiplier on osu!. The only reason as to why it’s alleged is because of his recent streams, his sensitivity seems higher than it actually is.
2. He plays with a Sayu O3C keypad that runs at 8000hz (Peripheral information can be found from Ivaxa’s Twitch channel.)
3. He is able to singletap 191 BPM streams consistently.
4. Ivaxa used to be a DT aim player, not much of a stream player until recently.
5. The player does have skill, however he may be using some sort of outside assistance software-wise like aim assist or relax hacks.
6. All replays in this thread were inspected using Circleguard.
7. Most of the information down below was conducted in the empirical (perceived) sense, so take all of it with a grain of salt.

Section one: Replays

There are a few moments within Ivaxa’s recent replays that felt unusual or very strange; mostly unusual edge hits, but also weird UR bar behavior.
The Deceit +DT
There are a few things to mention about this score. The first is an unusual UR bar behavior from 91076 ms (~1 minute 31 seconds) to 93123 ms (~1 minute 33 seconds). The UR bar looks like this in the end. This type of UR bar behavior is often found in 125 hz keyboards with a map that has a BPM that is a multiple of 125 (125 BPM, 250 BPM, 375 BPM, etc.). However, Ivaxa doesn’t use a 125hz keyboard or keypad, he uses one that is rated at 8000hz. This is rather unusual since this type of UR is only found in this section of the map only. Also, if he were to play on a 125hz keyboard/keypad, the type of UR that was shown above would be all over the map since the Deceit with DT is mostly 375 BPM.
The second would be his aim, particularly at around 1885 combo, his cursor shakes at an abnormal magnitude from the rest of the map. This shake can be caused by nerves, tapping strain of the left hand, or a mix of both. But, Ivaxa’s alleged sensitivity is so low that the shake that has been shown in the replay is either really hard to do or impossible.
Gotta go Fast +DTSO
This score has one thing that is quite suspicious. at 47582 ms (~48 seconds) into the map, an awkward edge hit is found where he over-aimed and seemingly snapped back to the circle. This kind of edge hit is something that a normal osu! player wouldn’t be able to hit entirely, especially at the speed at which the map is being played at. Another edge hit can be found in the same map at 28852 ms (~29 seconds), where the cursor doesn’t naturally curve at the end, instead snapping to the edge of the circle. Both cases may allude to the usage of some sort of aim assist.
Metal Crusher +DT
There are two things to note about this score, the first is some unusual cursor movement at the ending section of the map. Ivaxa’s cursor slightly follows the slider at 59128 ms (~59 seconds), and another right after at 60400 ms (~one minute). Movement like this paired with the speed at which the map is being played at just seems unusual/suspicious.
There are also five edge hits within the map, four out of the five edge hits are at the very edge of a circle. The probability of hitting these types of edge hits is rather low, especially when there are four of them in one map.

Sendan Life +DTHD
There is something to be said about some of the 100’s that Ivaxa is hitting. More specifically some 100’s within a few of the maps that have been observed so far are very near the barrier of being a 300 hit regardless of whether the note is early or late (https://i.imgur.com/cxFSdjf.png, https://i.imgur.com/bHLurZn.png). The sayu is precise enough to actually hit these types of 100’s, however it feels like these have occurred too often, so much so that this play has half of the 100’s in the map has these “edge 100’s,” for a lack of a better term. There are also two 100’s (100 #1 and 100 #2) that have been hit at exactly the same lateness/timing.

Section Two: Twitch Streams

The two pieces of information down below are more focused on his single tapping skills, along with some weird/suspicious moments during his stream.
Stream title: #18 #2PL we back boys PL/ENG
At 15:37, Ivaxa is seen to be double tapping 270 bpm streams even though he S ranked the Deceit with DT around three days after said stream (390 BPM). At 49:15 mins of the same stream: he is seen to singletap 191 BPM streams, probably because he was warm when playing at his point.
Stream title: #17 #2PL Yomi yori 3 mod pass happening right now wtf,
On March 31st, 2024, on the VOD where he S ranked The Deceit +DT, at the end of the VOD at 2:58:42 Ivaxa is seen singletapping a 390 BPM burst. After which he paused the game and blamed Steam notifications. Despite the bottom half of his monitor being visible on stream through the webcam, where no steam notifications or pop-ups are visible, he then opened Steam to "change notifications settings.'' After allegedly changing the settings, his cursor trajectory on the visible parts of the monitor on stream tells us that he moved the mouse from the top most left corner, while usually Steam settings are located in a pop-up window at the center of the screen. Afterwards His stream allegedly "crashed."
To see the moment, play the following .mp4 file: 20240331 #17 #2PL Yomi yori 3 mod pass happening right now wtf Part 3 and go to the near end.
Stream title: #9 #2PL if i want to i'll farm req closed
On April 7th, 2024 Ivaxa showed on the osu! Game discord server that he is able to singletap 191 BPM (better picture of the graph), however six days later after the message, on his stream on April 13th, 2024 Ivaxa showed that he was able to singletap PoNo’s Yomi Yori 220 BPM streams at the end. This type of BPM jump in such a short amount of time can only be reasoned with by hardware abuse via rapid trigger. Either that, or some sort of relax hack that assists the player in tapping.

Section Three: Multiaccounting

There are many pieces of information that suspect that Ivaxa is multiaccounting, however there is currently no concrete evidence on whether or not he is indeed multiaccounting. Please keep this in mind when reading this section of the thread.
The Mulitiaccount & Play Count Graphs
Pipecat is the suspected multiaccount. First of all, both Pipecat and Ivaxa are placed 1st and 2nd on the osu!mania leaderboard in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland (This is done by using osu! subdivide nations). Both play count graphs also seem to compensate for each other as of 2024, April 4th (the graph for Ivaxa has been warped in order to have a better visualization).
Time-pp Scatter Chart & Best Performances
The same thing happens with their Best Performance Time-pp Scatter Chart from ameobea/osu!track (Pipecat's Mania Chart and Ivaxa's Mania Chart non warped). Both graphs seem to compensate for each other, especially at around the month of March, as of 2024, April 5th (again, Ivaxa's chart has been warped for better visualization of score submissions).
Speaking of pp, both accounts have similar maps in their best performances list (Ivaxa is on the left, Pipecat on the right). If you want to see more, just check their mania profiles.
This may ask the reason as to why Ivaxa hasn’t played any vsrg (Vertical Scrolling Rhythm Game), and yet his performance in mania is abnormal for his time played. As seen from the play count graph from above, Ivaxa would’ve most likely played mania first on the Pipecat account, and then proceeded to play mania again on the other.
Names/Naming Scheme & Last Seen
Their naming scheme can also be taken into account as, Ivaxa’s name was inspired by Vaxei, and Pipecat was inspired by Whitecat.
It is also worth noting that Ivaxa and Pipecat’s Last Seen times are near each other, being more or less one hour apart from each other.

Section Four: Misc, additional “facts,” and Speculations

This section is dedicated to the additional miscellaneous information and our speculation formed from the data we discovered during the process of the investigation. These entries are not verbosely written due to us not finding enough evidence/information to make them included in the previous sections.
For ease of understanding the entry's level of absurdity, we marked them with color tags. The marking process for each entry was completely subjective so even the most absurd ones could be a potential aid for independent investigators/osu! staff as an additional lead where we “hit the wall.”
Fact: Could be used as a potential lead
Fact + Assumption: Not substantial enough to be included in previous sections/Assumption
Pure Speculation: Completely speculative fact/information
Fact: BayOfEvil (Ivaxa’s old username), does have an osu!report on it, although the report isn’t very helpful. One of the thread's replies includes a Discord recording with Ivaxa playing as “proof” of him being legit. This should be investigated further (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVQDdw1SSLs).
Fact: Ivaxa’s Mania score on Ne uchi +DT was set 22 days after his no-mod score.
Fact: In Pipecat's osu profile a discord server can be found (https://discord.gg/jkMydV3PTB), upon searching "Ivaxa" the only two mentions of the name is from the user Pipecat (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/577365869949354025/1225631393820708914/image0.jpg?ex=6621d52f&is=660f602f&hm=e3589cb93e9ffb2b7c0ef7ffbdedcc3b09df919a7082d11468035ff4f4f6e65e&).
Fact: Guitar to Kodou to Aoi Hoshi: Edge hit at the very edge at 202358 ms (~3 minutes 22 seconds) (https://i.imgur.com/PAWsyh7.png) Similar to the edge hit on FUCK YOU.
Fact + Assumption: FUCK YOU: Very erratic cursor movement at 4485 ms (~4.5 seconds) (https://i.imgur.com/mkRw4Ki.png) combined with his sensitivity and the map’s speed, this is basically impossible. Also he's been under-aiming a lot in this map but that might just be me. There is also an edge hit at the very edge at 60301 ms (~1 min) (https://i.imgur.com/GFxZctS.png), which can be questioned.
Fact + Assumption: Gotta go Fast HDDTHR: The UR bar is acting the same way that was observed with the deceit score from above (Gotta go Fast: https://i.imgur.com/ywA8XAu.png, Deceit: https://imgur.com/cbUtzya). With both maps being 375 BPM with DT, Ivaxa may or may not have used the same method of cheating if he is.
Fact + Assumption: Stream title: #18 #2PL we back boys PL/ENG, at 15:37 mins, Ivaxa is seen to be double tapping 270 bpm streams even though he S ranked the Deceit with DT around three days after said stream (390 BPM).
Fact + Assumption: A Thread created by sampierat on twitter: https://vxtwitter.com/sampierat/status/1775216723743875457?s=20

• https://imgur.com/pC3DBMq

Pure Speculation: During a congregation, several people have noted/proposed that Ivaxa may or may not be using three keys in order to stream higher bpm’s, using a software that alternates the middle key (since he plays ring-index) between key 1 and key 2 to insure that nothing is suspicious with his tapping count.
Pure Speculation: We condone an anonymous survey inside the mania community, including some of the top players, regular 4k, 7k, and 8k players, and some tournament organizers. Most of the participants agree that Ivaxa’s progression and improvement curve is abnormal.
Pure Speculation: Stream title: #18 #2PL we back boys PL/ENG, within the first hour of the stream, Ivaxa is seen to have completely lost his aim (44:46 min), even though he nearly fc'd Brazil on Fiery's Extreme with HDHRDT ten days prior to the stream. Although this evidence may not be as substantial as the others because of retry spamming Brazil.
Pure Speculation: The earliest known screenshots of Ivaxa grinding The Deceit Pishi's Extra, was on 2023, December 22nd (https://twitter.com/Ivaxaosu/status/1738245663631024453, https://twitter.com/Ivaxaosu/status/1738268599129632811, He later achieved an S rank on 2024, March 31st. He would've grinded the map for the past 3 months, however his play count seems to not reflect the grind, only having 237 plays as of 2024, April 5th (https://i.imgur.com/dg4HdSl.png).
Pure Speculation: https://youtu.be/Isp233epRAA the hands, and tapping technique may be similar to Ivaxa.
Pure Speculation: Potential lead/connection between Ivaxa and Pipecat could be found via steam accounts.
Ivaxa’s has two steam accounts (Both Steam profiles were sent to aknzx at one point):

• Main account https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199027517248
• Alt (thanks for Ivaxa posting it on one of the discord servers) https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199081700184
  • Has a VAC ban on it
• Pipecat’s steam account:
  • “Main account” https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199389486073

Pure Speculation: Additional platforms related to Pipecat:

• Their youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@pipe_cat (We tried to use it compare Ivaxa’s voice and Pipecat’s voices already, not enough information)
• Their GD (GeometryDash) profile: https://gdbrowser.comNotPipeCat

Pure Speculation: Pipecat’s Windows username https://imgur.com/a/DCgtC82 (from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNTTpSl1hHo ) If it could be proven that Ivaxa’s real name is Krzys, it could be a potential lead (despite it being a very popular name in Poland).
Pure Speculation: Pipecat is recording videos on his Youtube channel using both a PC and a Laptop. The PC is running Windows 11, and the Laptop is running Windows 10. This Could be a potential lead.

Verdict

Ivaxa’s single tapping speed is very abnormal, especially considering that he was able to stream 220 BPM in just six days, starting from 191 BPM, all singletapped. His aim on some maps feels weird, and some edge hits are questionable in terms of legitimacy. The incident on his stream on March 31st of this year also felt suspicious and weirdly timed, as if he was covering something up. And Pipecat’s graphs line up in such a way that it seemingly compensated for Ivaxa’s play count, and pp-scatter chart. From the information that was gathered about Ivaxa, there is a likelihood that the player is cheating, via aim assist, partial relax, or a mix of both.
It is suggested/encouraged that you look into this yourself.

Files and Documents

For Ivaxa stream mp4’s, each “part” is in one hour segments (because untwitch). So part 1 would be the first hour of a stream, part 2 would be the second hour of a stream, etc. There are some parts where it didn’t download the full hour, so be aware of that.
We’ve also included one of the “VOD analyzer” test result files, which includes cursor positions from an analyzed stream segment (#11 #2PL 1.3k pp achieved). It was a completely custom-coded solution that analyzed the video frame by frame but it wasn’t used during the investigation, so we are unsure about the accuracy of the cursor detection.

I'm 30F, and for most of my life I was pretty sure I wanted children. I never really thought about it any deeper than that, I just wanted to get married and have kids- like everyone around me did.
I met my fiancé 4 years ago, and while I still expected to have children one day, I knew it was a good ways off- no way I was ready at 26. Being with him, we've had a lot talks about this, and he pretty firmly does not want children. I struggle because I feel conflicted.
I'm pretty sure now that I DON'T want to have kids. The constant anxiety about my child and their wellbeing, the horrible things that can go wrong in pregancy, not to mention the loss of sleep/money/personal space and time all have made me realize that I was just rolling with the ideal version of "having kids" and was never truly aware of what having a child meant.
All of that said, I still find myself feeling like maybe I should have children. If I don't, my mom will never have grandkids. Both of our family lines will end with us (we are both only children). And while I know it's not my responsibility to provide those things, it's still this weird pressure and almost a sadness? I see my best friend have 2 beautiful perfect babies, and think "okay maybe it's not so bad" but then I see people online talk about their children with severe health and behavioral challenges and how it's put a strain on their marriages and relationships.
How do I determine what I want versus what society has taught me I should want?

Hi all! So at 23 I've gotten my first manual car, and my mother in law is the only person I know who can teach me to drive it. We had our first lesson today, and I feel like I've got an overall good grasp on everything except one (dumb) thing: getting into the correct position with the shifter.
For reference, I've got a 2006 Saab Impreza 9-2x, it came in pretty good condition, and it has a 5 speed H shifter from what my husband tells me. (1 3 5 on top, 2 4 R on bottom).
I understand when to shift into which gear, but I'm finding it super difficult to actually get the shifter into the right gear. I'll try to move the stick from 2 to 3, but end up in 5; similarly, from 5 to 4 and end up in 2. I can tell pretty quickly that I'm in the wrong gear, but finding the right one is consistently a problem and I don't want to do damage to the engine.
There's no digital display that I can immediately read off of, and the panic of trying to just figure it out while I'm moving down the road isn't ideal. It's definitely a me problem, as my mil had no issues shifting it with her experience, but I'm more or less looking for advice to figure this out.
