Old or used enclosed cargo trailers

I've set a very simple procedural generation in C# for a Unity project consisting of two scripts:
One (PlatformMove.cs) which moves a prefab section towards the player each frame and deletes it when it hits a Trigger:

public class PlatformMove : MonoBehaviour private void Update() { transform.position += new Vector3(0,0,-3) *Time.deltaTime; Debug.Log("bp is true"); } private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) { if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("DestroySection")) { Destroy(gameObject); Debug.Log("DESTROYED"); } } 

And a second script (SectionTrigger.cs) which manages the creation of a new section when another trigger is hit by the player object:

public GameObject roadSection; private float zpos = 26f; private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) { if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("TriggerSection")) { Instantiate(roadSection, new Vector3(0, 0, zpos), Quaternion.identity); } } 

In short, this mimics an endless runner type of project similar to Subway Surfer where the planes move and the player is static.
This runs fine on itself - once I hit Play the prefab starts moving, gets deleted, a new one is generated, then deleted and so on. However I wanted it to work on button hold by adding a UI button using Event Trigger Pointer Down/Up and editing PlatformMove.cs like this:

public class PlatformMove : MonoBehaviour { bool bp = false; public void Move() { bp=true; transform.position += new Vector3(0,0,-3) *Time.deltaTime; Debug.Log("bp is true"); } public void NotMove() { bp=false; Debug.Log("bp is false"); } // Update is called once per frame private void Update() { if (bp ==true) Move(); } private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) { if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("DestroySection")) { Destroy(gameObject); Debug.Log("DESTROYED"); } } 

I added a bool which indicates if the button is pressed or not;
However when I do the above and run it, the second section is spawned on the trigger as expected:

if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("TriggerSection")) { Instantiate(roadSection, new Vector3(0, 0, zpos), Quaternion.identity); } 

but it doesn't move and once the first section is deleted, the Update method no longer seems to occur - indicated by the lack of debug messages once:

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) { if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("DestroySection")) { Destroy(gameObject); Debug.Log("DESTROYED"); } } 

occurs.
To clarify, the PlatformMove.cs is assigned to a prefab, so the script is present in every clone(spawn) of the original prefab - in theory it should work fine as the rules will still apply but I guess I'm missing something.
I can't determine why once the first section is destroyed, the update methods stops working
My knowledge is fairly limited but by adding a debug message to the Update method I managed to at least find out that it stops once the section is deleted.
If I move the new section manually during runtime, all triggers work fine, new section is spawned, old one is deleted.
No errors or warnings are visible in the console either.

I'm an 18 year old girl, and I finished my military training about a week ago. My training was longer than usual (mine was a month and a half, while regular training is two weeks). During the training, I started to develop feelings for my department commander, who is 20. We had a strong distance from our commanders so even calling them by their names was forbidden.
I sketched a lot during my training, and when we had the ranges, I tried sketching her (without any pictures or using my phone, of course).
here is the sketch
A week before the end of the training, she placed a few envelopes on the floor with our commanders names on them and gave us time to write notes for them. They would open these envelopes and read the notes after we finished the training and left. The girls in my department really encouraged me to put the sketch in her envelope, so I did.
The day before our final ceremony, all of my commanders introduced themselves more personally. My department commander told us her first name, last name, and even gave us her phone number. I'm a very anxious person, so right after the final ceremony, I went straight home without trying to talk to her or anyone else.
Now that she's no longer my commander there isn't any distance. After a few days of thinking, I sent her a follow request on Instagram from my drawing account. It's been two days, and she hasn't approved or denied the request. She has 1,254 followers, so I don't think she's only approving people she knows well.
I talked to her alone maybe three times in total during my training and they were very brief talks where I was a socially awkward mess so the fact that I sketched her and sent her a follow on Instagram probably seems kinda creepy. I don't know what I was thinking

I am pondering about developing some website ideas, involving payments. Any helpful tips are appreciated.
Are there folks running their own websites from here & selling something internationally? Anything like products/service/SaaS with integrated payments.
If I was to start a MVP today & integrate payments on a website, maybe I could use a payment gateway like 2checkout for accepting cards. I've seen people replying on some thread that it works (but I haven't experienced it myself).
But then the age old Paypal issue... although people have advised that you could make an LLC in the US for Paypal/Striple, I want to know something very specific regarding Paypal:
Let's say there was someone present in a country like UAE, and can provide all paperwork to Paypal to establish a "business account" (not personal). Can such an account be operated successfully from here? Or will it be detected & taken down?
Anyone has success / fail stories that shed some light on this? (specific to paypal business account & not breaking terms of service or doing anything shady, just working off an account established in UAE for example).
Knowing our people, I know many brethren must have tried this exact thing before. I want to know the success/failure rate or any limitations/hurdles faced.
Thanks for any inputs! (and let me know if there's a better place to post this to get more feedbacks)

Join Philly Bike Action and fellow cyclists for a rad blast from the past! Come grab a capri sun and dunkaroos while listening to some 90s jams. We’ll be out on 17th and Spruce from 8 am to 11 am to celebrate bike lanes and the people that use them. Dust off that old flannel, bust out the fanny pack, and come PARTY with us.
Let’s tell Tenth Presbyterian to say “Hasta la vista, baby” to those bike lane parking permits!
Rain or shine the party will be off the chain. Please plan and dress accordingly. If you are bringing a sign, clear plastic tape does wonders for waterproofing.
Link to sign the petition to end the permits is in our bio or at bikeaction.org/permits.

My gf needs new tires on her old 26" fully and her birthday is coming up. We live in the Austrian alps and she mostly uses her bike on the local trails, pedalling up and riding down easy to intermediate downhill trails. She also likes to go to bike parks and ride the easier lines there, too.
The thing that makes this hard for me is that she will do the Dolomiti Superbike race this summer with the exact same bike. She would obviously need totally different tires for that.
Now I'm looking for a tire that would be suitable for enduro/dh riding but would also be suitable for a longer xc style race. Is this unrealistic? Or are there any good options?
So far my favorite would have been the Schwalbe Nobby Nic.

I own a 12 plate ford fiesta zetec, 1.4 i think, think its worth somewhere between £2800 and £3500
it's a great little car, in fact the worst thing about it is that it's so sensible.
Decent amount of space, even though it's 'small' it's not micro. On the slow side, but will cruise at 70 on the motorway without feeling like you're ragging it. Acceleration is... not the best. Cheap as chips to run, maintain and insure like i said the worst thing about it is that it's so sensible it's hard to financially justify upgrading.
Though we're expecting our second child shortly, and I feel we may need a bit more space, and I wouldn't mind having a slightly upgrading driving experience either.
Which brings me to my rant, why are used cars so expensive? Everything decent that seems like a step up- like a corolla, civic, focus etc., are £10k + for anything around 7/8 years old. The newer civic's are £20k + 😭... for a civic! I can't imagine I'm getting £17k or even £7k extra car for the money, plus the amount that will be lost on depreciation each year is significant.
I don't know, am I missing something here?
what might a sensible upgrade be, basically same as what I have just a bit bigger, family friendly, with mildly improved performance / driving experience and something that can hopefully avoid crippling the finances.

Greetings fellow Mistwalkers,
Last session the players dealt with most of the hags at the Old Bonegrinder, after which they decided to travel through the wilderness towards Argynvostholt. After arriving at the river they spotted a swampy area to the south, with Argynvostholt being towards the north(they visited Argynvostholt before but ran away after being very resource-depleted after triggering the magic-wall trap). They knew they had to venture to a ruined village in the swamp due to the card reading from madam Eva, and decided they should thus explore the swamp after which they would go back to Argynvostholt. They arrived at the ruins of Berez and quickly went to the hut where they failed to free the ravens from the cages. We ended the session when they entered the hut where they spotted the ''baby'' and Lysaga.
After they session I gave them a heads up that the next session might be their last, since they probably won't survive any combat encounter with their current level(4 lvl 5 PC's), and due to circumstances it might be best to end the campaign when they TPK.
So here I am sharing my story, and would be wondering what you think of it.
Summary of the group and how they played through Curse of Strahd. Currently we've played 25 online sessions(one of them in person for the dinner with Strahd), with the first five sessions having taken place on Stormwreck Isle. The group is fairly new to D&D, with some having some earlier experience. After finishing Stormwreck Isle I gave them several plot hooks which would lead to several campaigns, Together we decided to go to Barovia due to it's reputation, altough I warned them the campaign itself could be very deadly.
While preparing the Curse of Strahd(I've done two runs of the campaign as a player, our first party/group nearly dying at the Winery and afterwards disbanding because of problems between the Dm and another player) I took some notes from the incredible Mandymod for further additions for my campaign.
The group: -Hafling Drakewarden ranger, alongside his drake companion: Mír. This player previously played in my very first campaign of Rotfm, but the campaign fell apart after some drama between the two other players. -Owlin rogue, who multiclassed into warlock after deciding a swashbuckler rogue couldn't do enough things in combat an lacked in damage. -Eladrin bard -Tortle druid, the powergamer of the group.
Due to not really having any backstories related to curse of strahd, I made up some things for them in Barovia, and during the card reading gave them each an extra card with a suitable objective to their class/character personality.
The problems we faced on the way The group itself first faced some problems with roleplaying of course, but these quickly resolved itself. However the rogue and ranger portrayed themselves as criminals, and were always demanding something in return for helping people out in the valley. They took Ireena to Vallaki, encountering Vasili near Vallaki where he was ambushed by dire wolves. Vasili was quickly renamed to Gaston. The group spent a rather large amount of time in Vallaki, and refused to engage with several npc's, This caused them to miss out on several quests and information which led to other area's. This included engaging with the Martikov's, Rictavio and the Vistani. Due to this they only visited Argynvostholt(way to early) and the Vistani encampment near Vallaki. This forced me to give certain information via other npc's(like Jeny/Jenny? Greenteeth, but this still didn't cause the players to take ''proper'' action.
Forced endgame The players assassinated the burgomaster on behalf of Fiona Wachter, and afterwards dealt with some problems casued by her taking control of the city. Next they triggered the vampire event in the coffin maker shop, which resulted in most of the vampires running of to cause problems in the city and kidnap Ireena from the church(they dumped here there since they considered her a liability in combat and just wanted to get rid of her), and the party would have severe problems dealing with the vampire spawns(being lvl 4 at the time, having nearly no radiant damage potential). The kidnapping of Ireena gave me the opportunity for Strahd to invite the players for dinner, which I used as another info-dump moment and to raise the stakes. During the dinner he gave the players several offers to tempt them to do his bidding(like joining him or misleading them into ridding him of several npc's). I also announced that Strahd would enforce the wedding after 14 days, which I used as a way to urge the players to do more and start taking action.
What were we even doing? The session after the dinner took place, I had a conversation with the player to discuss what their characters would be doing. Only one player had solved her card reading(being Izek's lost sister, but due to rejecting him and later refusing to aid him in opposing Fiona, he died and was turned into a monstrosity), with the others either having no clue where to go or they hadn't solved their one yet. This resulted in the rogue proclaiming she had no purpose in Barovia, and claimed that she thought the party's actions had no proper effect/they gained no proper backlash. This in turn caused several other party members characters to doubt their purpose, with each member trying to make sure the party would do the specific quest/mission that that specific party member wanted/needed to do.
Post session chat I've discussed with 3 out of 4 players how we should proceed, and although some of them want to follow the story through, we thought it might be best to end the campaign(for now at least, I told them we could return to Barovia in a follow up campaign with new characters at a higher level, so they might partially pick up the pieces where they left off). Some players expressed that they weren't satisfied with their class, or reached the conclusion their character didn't fit the objectives the campaign presented. -Which was a bit tricky, since the player who suffered from this the most(the rogue) changed their character's goals and values multiple times during the campaign Another issue was that this was of course for most of them their first (longer) campaign instead of a oneshot, The last issue was their lack of engamement/drive to explore and visit certain sites. This caused them to miss out on several usefull items(the party hasn't aquired any fortune of ravenloft or found their fated ally).
Character deaths/Dark Powers Three of the players would have died once during the campaign, but were ''saved'' to continue the story and prevent the campaign from ending way to early. Two of them were in the first stage of dark power corruption, with the 3rd player being saved from death by Strahd himself, seeing him as a usefull pawn or eventual replacement.
So I will probably edit this post or upload a new post with tonights results. If you're interested or have any questions about certain events in the campaign, be free to ask :) Note; English isn't my primairy language and I suffer from dyslexia

I am currently using a fairly old MSI laptop with i7 7th gen, 1050ti and 24 gb RAM.
This is currently my main college laptop but I wish to use it for hackintosh once I upgrade, my main queries are mainly mainly regarding if I can run both Windows or Mac (either on same or separate SSD), or will the Hackintosh over write completely?, 2ndly it’s that can I get all the latest updates and all as from what I know, I can’t use Keynote and other Apple software on older OS.
Lastly this one is not important because I just want to know if the features like Universal Clipboard and the iPad (and iPhone) integration works as it would on a real mac or not.

I reached out here over a year ago in despair about my 4-year old boy who was not potty trained for poos - lots of small accidents, big poos twice a week etc. Here's the link if anyone cares to read the original: https://www.reddit.com/pottytraining/s/CylIxCfvsN
Much of the last 12 months have been much the same, with very slow improvements and lots of setbacks. Sometimes he could anticipate a bowel movement but for the most part it required hyper vigilance by parents and even then he would have frequent accidents and get hugely upset when we he had to get cleaned up. We tired different laxatives (lactulose and macrogol) for a number of months, got disillusioned when they didn't help (may have been on wrong doses, but we were disengaged and disillusioned with doctors for long stretches), worked with Occupational Therapist on proprioception to help with body awareness - helped somewhat but not completely - still lots of accidents. Had various toileting routines at various times, had their place but didn't fix anything. Came off laxatives (and focused on good water and fruit intake) for somewhat better results but still frequent accidents, got a teacher aide through a government program (go socialism!) so he could be at school and have toileting support (imperfect but made school possible), had blood tests, xray, lots of belly poking by doctors and paediatrician, generally each visit would have some ideas but no answer. Always was a tension between me and SO as we were each imagining different theories of main cause. Last visit to the paediatrician we were about to administer a full bowel prep clear out but - between appointments - something clicked for our boy and he had no accidents for two weeks and started taking himself to the toilet to do his number 2s. So we held off bowel prep!
He was still having big poos every two or three days so the paediatrician gave some ducolax drops to use as needed to try and avoid things getting "backed up". One drop on Friday evening has been working to avoid him starting the school week with a "backlog".
It still feels like a delicate and vulnerable success. Our boy is still hesitant to use toilets in school or out and about. At a play date last week though, for the first time, he did a poo in a friend's toilet. What a win! He was on a trampoline and we saw him suddenly climb off the trampoline and sprint to the bathroom and he got there in time. I was almost in tears of happiness for him.
We've all been traumatised through the whole experience. Hopefully our boy isn't permanently affected and has no setbacks. My SO and I have a bunch of healing to do in our relationship - it's been a real strain.
Take care out there - can be a tough slog. The scary thing is that sometimes you can do nothing to fix things and it's a helpless feeling.

I can remember being in primary school when this happened. I was watching a film at home with my older sister where a couple were rolling around on a bed kissing each other. They were fully clothed, but we were curious because we had never seen anything like it before.
We played a game similar to “Mums and Dads” where my older sister and I would choose who was going to be the boy and who was going to be the girl and act out what we saw on the TV. It started out as kissing. I can remember my sister touching me inappropriately and getting me to do it back to her, but that only happened once. The kissing turned into acting out having sex with each other. We had our clothes on most of the time, and I can’t remember it happening on a regular basis. I think it just happened randomly every now and again. It felt good at the time, and we had seen adults do it so we just assumed that it was a normal thing to do. I only recently told my family about it because I used to feel disgusted every time I thought about it. I know this happened between my older sister and my younger sister too but that’s not my story to tell. I didn’t understand anything about sex properly until I was about thirteen, so I wouldn’t have realised at 8–11 years old that what was happening was wrong.
I’ve been through an unbelievable amount of trauma which I think contributes to what happened. It was just sexual curiosity which was taken too far but I’m not sure what to do about what happened. My sister apologised but it wasn’t anybody’s fault. I want to get on with her but it’s hard too. I looked up to her as a role model and thought I was doing the right thing but I obviously wasn’t. If anyone has any advice or has been through anything similar please let me know ☺️

I don't even think this qualifies as depression, I'm like 80% sure I've had depression at some point in my life, acknowledged it, and eventually studied mental and spiritual stuff until I healed. I mean, I've definitely felt a strong difference, but not so quite? Let me explain:
Ever since I got into 10th grade, my school pressure rose to 1000%, I started pursuing science thinking it was what I liked, and got on my head that I wanted to be an engineer. That was 2 years ago, recently, I figured I never had a reason to be an engineer, excluding the typical "I want to have money" mentality (which doesn't make any sense because if I only pursuit money this is kinda random? But I guess I also wanted the engineer clout. Anyways, as my school routine got lighter, I am now 18 years old and a legal adult and I have NO DREAMS. I'm not even sad, but like, I think I should be? But the pressure is definitely here, because like, am I gonna end up homeless? I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING HELP.
So I have this theory, I think that all my life I chased things out of pure... pain? I can't even tell. I know I want to learn how to fight, probably going to start taking Muay Thai classes. Just because it's cool and I honestly don't mind pain.
I don't think it is masochism, it is just that I NEED something to happen in my life, if pain is a necessary step, then it is all fine.
I just like pain because it is definitely REAL, my only fear is just a mundane daily life. I just want something CRAZY to happen.
But I guess I still want money, it is just that money was my top priority when I was a big gigantic videogame nerdy geek. But as I said, I have silenced my wants and needs for so long I CAN'T STAND WHAT I USED TO LIKE ANYMORE.
I don't even think this is the correct subreddit to post, I like crying because it definitely helps relieving the pain and I have no shame of it, I see it as useful and helpful!
Should I just keep sacrificing myself mentally and physically everyday until the end of time just so I can feel something?
I mean one thing is for sure, I make sure to count my blessings just so I don't get clinically insane. I have: A healthy body. I like my physical appearance. I think I'm intelligent and everyone around me tells me that. I'm funny and people love being around me. I love being around people. I think I am a very good listener and people usually talk to me when they need help. I'm strong!! >:) I'm fast!!!! >>>:))) I know how to speak English and Portuguese (my mother language) and I am currently learning Japanese just for funsies since 2022. I have a loving family I have many friends
BUT Why do I have no dreams at all? Why can't I see myself in 20 years? Hell, I can't even imagine myself in 5 years. Please help me.
If y'all have any questions, make sure to post them in the comments below :)) I'll try to answer them alllll.
Oh, and if this isn't depression at all, I KNOW I'VE HAD DEPRESSION BACK THEN. But that would be more yapping I just want someone to help me.
TL;DR I have no wants or needs to do anything in my life and fear having no future because I've put myself through so much tribulation and unpaid kindness it's actually insane.
Also if there are grammar errors, English isn't my first language as I said.

Hey everyone,
I'm a 25-year-old guy who's been dealing with diffuse thinning/hair loss for a couple of years now, primarily due to bleach damage. I've been on a journey trying various methods to regrow my hair, currently using oral minoxidil at 2.5mg daily. While I've seen some minimal results, I'm committed to giving it at least 18 months before evaluating its effectiveness.
Recently, I've been considering adding Dutasteride to my regimen to potentially enhance my regrowth. I've read about its effectiveness, particularly in blocking DHT to prevent further hair loss. But I'm curious, does Dutasteride's regrowth potential stem solely from its anti-androgen properties, or does it have separate mechanisms for promoting regrowth? And would it be beneficial for someone like me who isn't suffering from typical male pattern baldness (MPB)?
Moreover, given that my father is bald (though he's the only one in our family), I'm also contemplating whether Dutasteride could serve as a preventive measure against potential future MPB. I've seen a lot of discussions around finasteride for prevention, but I wonder if Dutasteride might be a better option for me.
Additionally, I've heard about RU and its potential for hair regrowth, but I admit I need to dive deeper into understanding its mechanisms before considering it as part of my regimen.
If you guys have any other ideas of what I could add to my stack that would be very helpful!
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

hi, i was beyond obsessed with h20 when i was younger and i obviously want to rewatch it!!! unfortunately the only place it’s available to watch (i think?) is netflix and they only have season 1. is there somewhere i haven’t checked? i don’t really want to use any sketchy websites or anything bc they gave my old laptop a virus lol. if anybody knows pls help a girl out!!

Hello everyone,
Briefly here is my computer set up :

• Tuf gaming nvidia geforce rtx 3080
• Amd Ryzen 5 5600X
• B550 aorus elite v2
• Ram Kingston Fury Beast 2x8 Gb 3200Mhz
• I use an ssd for my w11 but I have the game installed on an old hdd 7200r / minute (which so far runs fine)
• My screen is a LG Ultra Gear 27GN850-B 27", refresh rate over clock up to 180Hz
• My connexion is really good, ping is stable (around 30ms), and I have no packet loss.

Here is the thing, I blocked my game fps at 160fps to avoid fps drops (by using a steam macro "+fps_max 160" in the launching window). Before that it was variating between 170 and 180.
However, even though the fps displayed with MSI afterburner keeps telling me it is always at 160Hz, sometimes I still feel like the game's fps are slightly dropping, or at least there are micro stutters which really ruins the fluidity of the game.
I checked my screen settings on Rtings, and accordingly to the website I put everything in order to make the screen work at its best.
Do you have any thoughts on what could cause this issue ? Do you have any idea about how I could investigate that deeper ? (I was thinking of checking the gpu frequency's when running the game, just in case)

Hello friends - I am a 27 year old male / South Asian (for genetic context). I have been gymming on and off but was never able to do it consistently due to back pain. Since the start of this year my back pain has been manageable so I started working out again and its been a month so far. My starting weight was 78kg, my height is 183cm/6’0.5 and my fat percentage at the start was 18.1%. In the past month I have been strength training 4/7 days a week and kept my protein at above 2g/kg of body weight and been in a deficit of 500 calories per day throughout. I also supplement my body with 5g creatine a day. I track my calories intake and calories burnt very closely and as accurately as I can using an apple watch and myfitnesspal. This morning I checked my weight at the end of the month mark and it hasnt changed one bit. I cant tell in the mirror if there has been any difference, the scale says no weight loss or gain, the calories say I should have lost at least 2kg fat. What are the possibilities now? Could it be water weight? Couldnit be muscle gain? And do more experienced people on here have any advice for me?

I want to get back into gta online after years and make the transition from ps4 to pc. The trouble is, I don’t know my old account email or password. I think I actually made a second rockstar account at some point but the one I have access to says I have no linked games. The only place that I’m still logged in to the correct account is on my ps4 if I remember correctly. Is there any way to go onto the ps4 and move my gta profile to a different rockstar account, or find out my account info on the ps4? And will I have to subscribe to ps4 plus to do so, since I haven’t used my ps4 in years? Any help would be so appreciated as I’ve invested so many hours into that game when I was younger would love to pick up where I left of but on pc.

I want to deliver something using my car. but it is too big (small sofa). delivery costs are almost the price of it (70-80 euro). installing a car trailer hook can go up to 700-1000euro (I checked a few websites)
is it legal to attach to the roof of your car the sofa (it's not too heavy or large) and drive inside the city for 5-10 mins distance with it at limited speed 40km/h?

This rant is not meant to be directed at anyone on the individual level, who is either learning English as a second language or just does not have the best grammar.
Commercials are supposed to be professional productions that represent The company theyre advertising, and like a newspaper I'm sure there's an editor or whatever you call it in that industry who goes over the final productions for mistakes or changes that need to be made.
Anyone has been up late, Watching TV has probably caught the inogen infomercial for the battery powered oxygen generator that can be carried with the person. I don't normally leave this crap on but sometimes I don't get a chance to change it right away. Last time I was watching it I heard:
" When I was first prescribed for oxygen...." [Something something it was a hassle I didn't go anywhere etc.]
So, I don't know anything about being a doctor but I'm pretty sure they don't prescribe people for machines. Even if there's a slim chance that the person in the commercial is not a paid actor but an actual user of the product who's being paid for their time, wouldn't the director or somebody stop them and correct them?
Second commercial, the Friday night plans commercial the one that packages their Viagra in a big bag with an graphic of a rooster on it. We get it, you have cock pills. And says if you want to get a discount to text a word to 69069. So apparently there's a 13-year-old boy in charge of that part. Moving on, in the commercial when they're talking about how easy it is to get the pills they say that you have to answer a few questions, and "a doctor will prescribe you online." I found it strange that there were two commercials that I've seen relatively close together and both of them have doctors prescribing people.
Do neither of these commercials creators have a single person on staff who was able to say hold on, what you mean is a doctor will prescribe them to you?"
And please disregard any poor punctuation like periods that are in the wrong place, I was using voice to text and lately it's been having punctuation problems.

So, its 4 am and I'm still up dealing with a flea infestation that has been recurring for the shittier part of 6 months. That's not the self improvement per se, but it works as a vehicle to express my feelings at the moment.
Anyway.
It's annoying to be this grotesquely obsessed with finding meaning while there are actual fleas living in my home, but it's poignant. Fleas only go away if you are resilient enough to keep hitting them until the source is eradicated. The thought I'm having right now is something like , "Of course. Of course, no matter how much I change or try to work on myself, the problem keeps laying eggs, because I don't want to do the dirty work."
I know I didn't "manifest" the fleas. I know I just kept changing the sheets, bedding, using topicals, but avoiding the overhaul. Avoiding consistency and refusing to throw old clothes out that were probably infested, not even treating them. Somehow it's like? I convince myself over and over that the amount of effort must be so high if I feel so exhausted after doing what I can. But that's the annoying part. Being so exhausted by the amount of work that goes into fixing the problem that I refuse to be thorough. But I can't do that anymore.
This is a piss-poor metaphor(a decent rhyme here, tho), but it's all that makes sense.
I've struggled with my alcoholism and mental health for years, always, always, always convincing myself that I was doing what I could, but it was a comfortable lie. Because saving yourself means remebering that you can't save everyone else with you. You have to trim the excess somewhere; burn the clothes and spray the carpet. It took me a fucking blacked out, belligerant ride in a squad car FOR THE SECOND TIME to realize that I was being eaten alive and I've been sober since then. Two years. I'm also in therapy.
And yet? I still feel so painfully itchy. And its because I let myself get reinfected.
I had what I assume is a falling out with a dear friend 8 hours ago while nuking the hell out of my sheets at the laundromat and I just snapped. I said everything that I've held my tongue on for the last 3 years and even if it was in response to being confronted over petty telephone "he-said-she-said" drama, I meant it. I really meant it. I love him dearly but we are not friends wo can really be friends anymore. Not with who I am and want to be.
For context, I've know this friend since sophomore year of high school. I'm in my mid 20's now finishing a graduate degree while TAing. He's currently unemployed(this isn't 100% his fault and I don't want to shame him for it, but context) and only lives to party and post on socials. He regularly does coke, molly, LSD, and drinks heavily, sometimes until 6 or 7 am.
I've tried to be in his life by going out on these club nights, but I just Don't Get It Anymore. I do, but I don't, I guess. I only ever got fucked up because I was too scared to do the work of being a better person, but now that I've started? I just can't be around it anymore. I know he's going through his own personal metamorphosis that he's resisting (he's told me he wants change but can't because partying is easier), but I just can't sit around in crowded clubs--even if I trust my sobriety!-- waiting for him to actually connect with me like we used to instead of making a million outfit posts and tacking fake captions to every single one of them. And the moments where there's a glimpse of that person? The awkward kid who was nice to me in theater? It doesn't matter because he's fucked up and won't remember or care afterwards. The worst part is that anytime I bring this up, he's dismissed me and said that I'm taking shit too personally.
I was honest. And I can't backtrack now.
So, I deactivated the socials I still have left except for reddit(thin fuckin' ice) because I realize that seeing all of that reflected back at me in an endless doom scroll, hoping that something will change just keeps me from eradicating the problem. It's veneer that I need to shed.
I don't want to look at my life and feel this intense loneliness because I can't do what others do, because I can't sit down in flea infested carpet and pretend the problem isn't multiplying. I want to be a better person. I want to feel good about the people in my life and I want them to see value in me even when I can't be perfect for a post or supply a good time. I'm tired of pretending there aren't still issues to be worked out because I did the hard part and got help. I have to help myself.
Just a few more hours until I vacuum and pass out. I'm sleep-deprived and hungry. Thanks to anyone wo reads this.

Hi - I'm using the Wiki, but having some problems.

• Beelink S12 Pro Win11
  
• Old Panasonic TV (TH-40C400Z)
  
• Harman Karnon Citation 700 Soundbar (single HDMI connection)
  

When connect PC -> TV -> Soundbar (all HDMI, ARC btw TV and soundbar) I get sound, but the PC sound setting are showing 2.0 only (I guess as that's what my TV supports and the PC thinks I'm just sending audio to my TV)) and I can't change the setting. The TV doesn't seem to have any pass-through/bitstream settings, just CEC on or off.
When I tried to connect both TV and soundbar to PC directly using the two HDMI ports on the PC, the PC doesn't recognise the soundbar, neither as audio device or monitor. All I can under audio devices is my TV and my 3.5 jack pc speakers. So this direct PC to soundbar connection also doesn't work.
Is my best bet to buy an audio exractor? Or is there something I can do with my PC to get it to recognise the soundbar when I connect via HDMI directly to PC?
