2024.05.16 22:10 redgoldhandcream Help! Algae battle in my 20gal
My fry tank (20 gallon) is experiencing a major algae issue and I don’t know why or what to do. Any advice is welcomed!
I did a 50% water change and rinsed all accessories two days ago but the tank went right back to this (pic taken today). Water is visibly cloudy and green. I can see brown-colored algae on EVERYTHING, including the sand.
My 75g above has no issues. Water parameters are identical. Both tanks are fully cycled and have been established for several months.
I suspect lighting might be the issue??? My 75g has full spectrum day/night cycle lighting. The 20g has a standard hood/light combo. They do receive sunlight from window and back door but we try to minimize it.
The 20g currently holds 7 African Cichlid fry (~1mo. old).

Prologue
Hello and welcome to my post. I will subdivide this into two large parts. One will cover my thoughts, feelings, my hopes and dreams...While the other will tell you the specifics of how I pass the time, what topics interest me, what passions do I posses. I believe that at the end of this leap into my inner world, you dear reader, will have all the necessary information to judge whether we are compatible or not.
Part I
I am writing this in the hopes of finding something that I lack. Lately I have had this feeling, this tinge of melancholy within the dephts of my being, this yearning to find a kindred spirit, another Soul, much like mine, to form a bond with. Perhaps Loneliness is the right word for what is bothering me, but to use it seems to carry with it a connotation of ungratefulness. Ungratefulness for the people that I do have in my life, although none of them, of course, have the connection to me that I seek here.
I have found it increasingly necessary to seek in this Life a sort of purity of thought. What I mean is, I have began to undestand what ideas and concepts are ultimately compatible with my inner most Self, ergo what guidelines I have to follow to feel the most whole. Naturally I have likewise realised what I cannot add to my Self and what I will henceforth reject with all the power that I posses.
With this new context in mind, I now follow on the path of self improvement. I will now begin to mold my Self into my perfected idea of how the Self should be. This is certainly a significant undertaking, one that will not be easy to follow through on but one that I ultimately have to do. To me such context is essential. It is akin to a Guiding Star shining in the night. I will follow this Star for without it I am lost in the vast Darkness.
Looking back at my life, it was suboptimal, especially if one compares the way it molded me to how I will now mold myself. I suppose I must look on with a hint of regret at all that time which one might consider to be lost. Still... I try to stave off such decisively negative interpretations, after all, I have ultimately came to these conclusions. That means that somewhere along the line I had to have picked up on enough of such ideas for them to become so cemented in my consciousness. Well, either that or I was always like this, but in that case I can at least thank my life up to this point for not being able to supress such manifestations of my inner most Self.
To add to the topic of my life, I must admit that not all the battles have yet been won, not all the Demons vanquished, not every Mountain climbed. I want you to keep such things in mind when deciding whether or not to approach me. Many will shy away, I undestand that much, but the pursuit of true Companionship is just another such battle. Having said all that I do believe that being able to overcome hurdles together carries with it a certain appeal. That is to say, what's the fun in joining once the Game is already over?
I don't shy away from such challenges, perhaps to a fault. Certain troubles that I faced in the past carry with them a long shadow over my current health and well being. Still, I intend to change little in this regard other than the proficiency with which I will clash the current of my Will against the cliffs of Life.
Part II
In this part of my post I will tell you about my interests and hobbies, I will try to be thorough, commonality in this regard is rather important to build a relationship
History. I have had an interest in history for almost a decade now, it started back in school and developed from there. Well, now that I think about it one could argue that it started even earlier in my life as I liked watching the odd historic documentary or film aired on television but it wasn't regular back then, I never actively sought it out. I am mostly interested in European history in the period between the 18th-20th century but I sometimes branch out to other time periods and other parts of the world. I watch various channels related to history and read articles and sometimes books. I have recently got a few books on the German revolution of 1848/1849 and a historical magazine on the Thirty Years' War. Besides that I try to visit museums sometimes.
Literature. Especially old novels. I like to immerse myself in the Worlds of these books, I tend to read them while listening to thematically fitting music and take my time with them. One time you are following a troubled Youth in his quest for spiritual understanding of the world, another you see the aged and decrepit Doctor gambling his very Soul on the promises of abtaining satisfaction in earthy pleasures, then again your olfaction notices the most pleasant scent known to man even as the one eminating it has the appearance of a revolting Frog. These and many other stories open up to you once you decide to set foot into the literary World.
Languages. I know three, with one being a bit rusty. I am currently working intently on strengthening it. I believe that if I continue to apply myself in this regard then I should be able to finally conquer it. What language am I working on? Well, if you were to stack all the major works in it they would be as tall as a house... It is fun to go through different works in multiple languages, the same goes for film, games and such.
Games. I recently played Cyberpunk 2077. Well as recently as I played any major story centric game. Now that the dust has settled and the bugs mostly removed...It's not that bad. The main questline at least. Besides that I tried Fallout 76 (Very average, I'm dissapointed with what they made the "RPG" system) and I might give Deus Ex Manking Divided another spin (since it's somewhat similar to Cyberpunk when it comes to its aesthetics). Dark Souls is one of my favorite series, I still haven't beaten Elden Ring though. When it came out I wasn't in the right mindset to invest a hundred hours into it, with all those bosses and difficult locations. I think I'll only consider playing it if I am streaming it to someone. I am generally interested in either streaming games or having the person I am talking to stream them to me. To be specific I mean streaming to a single person while being on call. Besides that I'm a big fan of Paradox strategy games, especially Europa Universalis IV and Heats of Iron IV, I tend to only play single player since I find multiplayer with many people to be rather stressful but on the other hand I have nothing against a co-op game. I'm not the best player though, despite the ammount of hours I have in them. Another great game I would mention would be Dragon's Dogma. A very underrated RPG. I recently beat it again and it was an atmospheric and interesting experience. It is one of those games that feel like they have an endless ammount of depth and constant new secrets to discover.
Anime and Manga. In recent times my interest in them has waned but I still watch the occasional series here and there. Like Cyberpunk Edgerunners (Which I found to be rather mediocre) and the very good first season from the new arc of Bleach. Some of my favourite series include: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note, Fate;Zero, Psycho Pass, Code Geass and Attack on Titan. I wouldn't mind if you were to introduce me to some new series, maybe based on the ones I mentioned. My favourite Manga is Berserk which I still follow, althought I am still not certain on the direction that the new author is taking. I suppose it really is a matter of contention whether a somewhat (or considerably warped) vision is better than an unfinished work. One could argue that a few novels remain unfinished and possess a macabre appeal to them as such.
Music. Classical music has a very special place in my heart. A few of my favourite pieces would be: Clair de Lune, Nocturne Op. 9 No.2, Devil's Trill Sonata, Danse Macabre, Valse Sentimentale, Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92: II. Alegreto (by Beethoven) and Suite from Swan Lake, Op. 20a: I. Scene. Moderato. There are more but these ones always invoke something in me when I listen to them. Besides Classical I also enjoy listening to Synthwave, old Western pop and J-pop, both modern and from the 20th century.
Esotericism. I am interested in things spiritual, mystical, magical and esoteric. I have read religios texts, magical grimoires, introductions to various schools of thought. It is interesting to me.
Epilogue
Hopefully I was able to cast the spotlight upon my inner World in a clear and unequivocal manner. I feel the need to add to the aforementioned that I am rather introverted, which means that I tend to dislike large social gatherings. I managed to condition myself to be able to endure the presense of large groups of people but it isn't something that I would seek out in most cases. Besides that I am neurodivergent and suffer from certain issues with mental health. I have to take medication to keep myself under control. They work well enough but certain days are harder than others. I respect the struggle that others have with mental health but in the context of a relationship I have my limits, no one with BDP for instance. I am also not looking for anything casual. I understand than one cannot demand depth and meaning from a conversation with an absolute stranger, that is akin to trying to build a sand castle right before the waves strike but I ask at least that you enter with a mindset that this might become something of significance. I also do want to say that I am completely Monogamous. My preference? The sickly, pale, intellectual who watches rain droplets slide down the window in Autumn. Lastly, if I enjoy the company of a person I tend to not want to let them go.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and have a good day. I ask that you send a DM instead of a chat and that you give the English translation of my title in the opening of your message.

2024.05.16 22:05 RelativeEmploy620 Questions about becoming a coffee/espresso equipment technician
I recently found out about the field of coffee/espresso equipment technicians and it honestly sounds kind of fun. But I do have questions for those in the know.
A little bit about me:
I'm an (unemployed) software developer. Things aren't looking so hot for job seekers right now in my industry, and I'm not even sure if I want to continue with the corporate 9-5 lifestyle anyway, so I'm considering other options.
Working with coffee equipment is a mechanical job; on that front, I'm not afraid of using tools, and can tackle home projects usually just fine. However, I have no professional experience in mechanical matters.
Onto the questions:

Onto the questions:
- What's the maximum I can earn, and is the job hourly or salary?
- Can I make a career out of this job?
- What's the work/life balance like in this profession?
- What do you like/dislike about this job?
- What's been your experience with the on-call nature of the job?
- Does the job involve a lot of people-interaction?
- Do you usually work with a teammate on your jobs or solo?
- What are the opportunities for growth in this field? Can I move up, pivot to other industries, or open my own business with the skills obtained?
2024.05.16 22:04 redgoldhandcream Help! Algae battle in my 20gal.
My fry tank (20 gallon) is experiencing a major algae issue and I don’t know why or what to do. Any advice is welcomed!
I did a 50% water change and rinsed all accessories two days ago but the tank went right back to this (pic taken today). Water is visibly cloudy and green. I can see brown-colored algae on EVERYTHING, including the sand.
My 75g above has no issues. Water parameters are identical. Both tanks are fully cycled and have been established for several months.
I suspect lighting might be the issue??? My 75g has full spectrum day/night cycle lighting. The 20g has a standard hood/light combo. They do receive sunlight from window and back door but we try to minimize it.
The 20g currently holds 7 African Cichlid fry (~1mo. old).

2024.05.16 22:01 robbersjpg PC stuck in boot loop!
Hello! Hoping to get some advice on my pc!!!
I built it a few years ago and it has worked perfectly until a month ago! It got stuck in a boot loop(?) and wouldn’t get past the windows log in screen. And now I’m unable to set up windows at all
here’s everything I’ve done so far:
-standard repair options (reset to a fixed point in time, uninstalling recent updates, etc) -wiped the entire pc using “reset my pc” -MULTIPLE clean installs of windows from a usb (both 10 and 11, just to see if it’d make any difference) -new ram -new SSD -new power supply -new motherboard -new gpu -updated bios -checked all cable connections
Startup repair cannot repair and says Log file: C :/windows/system32/logfiles/srt/srttrail.txt
If anyone has any insight that would be super helpful!!!!!
I'm on mobile so sorry for any post formatting issues!!!!

2024.05.16 22:00 Massive_Learner Wayland not detecting 3rd monitor after Fedora 40 upgrade.
I have a desktop Dell PC, dual-booting with Windows 10 and Fedora. My setup has 3 monitors.
Prior to upgrading to Fedora 40, all 3 monitors were working well with Fedora 39. After upgrading to Fedora 40, the 3rd monitor just shows a black screen. As the computer is booting, I can see the Dell logo on all 3 monitors and Windows still works with the 3 monitors. However, when I am in the login screen, and after login into Gnome, only 2 monitors work. However, if I log into Gnome on Xorg, the 3 monitors do work. So I suspect it is a Wayland thing.
What is strange is that the 3rd monitor does appear with inxi, but it is still black.
Here is some info on my system after running inxi -Fzxxx:

2024.05.16 21:59 Abazaba_23 [FIXED] Asus B650 PLUS WIFI - VGA light on but GPU works fine in windows
Hi all! I had a few days of headache with a new build recently using the B650 PLUS WIFI motherboard and I wanted to share what I tried and what worked for me!
Basically, the problem was that I was able to boot into windows just fine if I used my integrated graphics from my CPU. While in windows, I could move the HDMI from the motherboard port to the graphics card, and everything worked as expected with my GPU being recognized and working great. If I tried to turn on the computer with the HDMI cable plugged into the graphics card, the VGA LED on the motherboard would stay on and the computer would not boot.
It turns out my TV was not sending a signal (or strong enough signal) for it to clear POST. I fixed this by forcing my TV to used HDMI 2.0 (by turning off compatibility mode).
If you are having the same issue as I was, these are all the things to try. It's possible any one of these methods will be the solution for you:
I hope this helps! ☺

If you are having the same issue as I was, these are all the things to try. It's possible any one of these methods will be the solution for you:
- Make sure your monitor is on before turning on your computer.
- If it is on, check your monitoTV settings to force HDMI 2.0 with a compatible HDMI cable.
- Unplug and re-plug in your GPU power cable, try a different cable if your PSU is modular.
- Remove your CMOS battery for 10 seconds to reset your motherboard settings.
- Switch your GPU between the available PCIe slots.
- Try a few things with your RAM. Remove and re-seat. Use only one stick. Switch which stick is in which slot, and be sure you are using the right slots. (Example: using 2 sticks, my model required them to be in the second and fourth slot counting from the CPU)
- Update your motherboard BIOs, be sure to get the right model! I tried the B650 PLUS on accident when I needed the B650 PLUS WIFI bios... No damage was done in case you get this wrong too!
- Try booting with a different GPU, then switching back to your desired GPU.
- Power cycle to drain your motherboard circuitry: Turn off computer and switch off PSU. Hold down power button, and switch the PSU on and off quickly 5 to 10 times.
I hope this helps! ☺

2024.05.16 21:58 Middle_Standard_8785 Cats keep pooping and peeing next to the door
Hello, I have 2 cats, a mom and a son. They’re about 7/6 years old. The son is a very friendly cat, but the mom is a bit spicy. They are also a bit overweight, been trying to feed them less but that’s not the topic. Our cats have maybe 2 years ago started to pee/poo next to the door. They are also inside cats. We thought it was due to the litter box being full of shit, so we just started cleaning it more often, but they still so it even with new clean litter in the box. To be specific, we caught the mom doing it several times, but not the son. But both of them pee on a carpet/mat when given the option. What might be the cause? My mom also poured chemicals next to that door but I still found shit the next day. Is it psychological? Maybe the mom hates us? Does she want to go outside? Whenever I go to walk her around our yard, she always seems like she is being forced out and putting a leash on her is a hassle. But whenever she sees an open window, she runs out, returning an hour or 2 later. All advice is appreciated, thanks! Also, driving them to the vet won’t work since I’m a minor and my parents don’t want to spend a dime on cats, and currently money is really tight.

2024.05.16 21:57 scottymtp Can't see boot logo, boot menu, or bios when using DP
So I have a MSI MAG X670e Tomahawk motherboard and a 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 monitor connected to DP on my Sapphire 7900XT.
When it boots normally, the first thing I see is the windows login screen.
When I press F11 to enter boot menu, I can't see anything. When I connect a portable monitor to the HDMI port on my GPU, it works fine though.
Any ideas?

Link for all the chapters available here: Engines of Arachnea on Royal Road
The Colonel’s tent was leaking again. Ordinarily such a mistake would’ve earned his adjutant an hour-long dressing down and possibly, if the Colonel was feeling particularly enthusiastic, a sharp backhanded slap across the face. After all, a leaky tent could hardly be said to be hermetically sealed, now could it? But this affront to his sensibilities paled in comparison to the utter travesty and exemplar of sheer incompetence that now sat before his desk, a sagging wreck of a man in the tattered uniform of a Fleet officer. Colonel Moch Leelan curled his lip at it and barked:
“Once more, if you please. And I don’t want this on record,” he added, darting a look at the clerk poised to take dictation in the corner of the room, “Not a word of this gets out. There’s been enough of a snafu already, and the brass won’t stop shitting down my neck about Mound 13 and the loss of Prota’s pestilential pet project. Did you hear me, man? I said start from the beginning!”
Outside the monsoon was intensifying into one of those proverbial downpours which prompted doddering old men to remark that it was ‘raining cats and dogs’, though what either a cat or a dog were, none could now say. A trickle of it seeped in like a string of winking glass beads, catching the orange glow of the gas lamp and turning into sparks of amber, into seeds of flame. They dripped on the bald man seated on the low footstool, and he raised his head to meet the scornful gaze of the Colonel, grey eyes unabashed and unafraid. He spoke then, in a hoarse voice that matched his pallid flesh and buzzard nose:
“It was the third day of reconnaissance. We were forced to abandon our pack-beasts in the mire. My assistant and I—”
“Name, rank and serial number!” Colonel Leelan interrupted, for the sole purpose of seeing the coward blink and quaver like the worm he was. But in that he was to be disappointed, for the man continued in the same flat tone:
“Sollem Deschane, Lord Navigator, 3rd Pathfinder Regiment, serial number 18911944. We received orders from the Admiralty and Fleet Command to reconnoiter the area around the enemy concentration designated as Mound Euler. I was to lead a platoon of twenty handpicked volunteers across the river Foss at its lowest point, then scale the outlying cliffs to get better readings as we mapped out the approaches to Mound Euler. It was the third day of reconnaissance. We were forced to abandon our myropods in the mud and carry our own gear. My assistant navigator Rene Louvoture and I noticed a discrepancy with our visually confirmed data and the aerial sketches of the Aeronautical Division. We quickly worked out that the enemy concentration far exceeded initial estimates by an order of magnitude. Mound Euler is an omega-class colony the likes of which the Fleet has faced only once in its entire existence, during the Scouring of Assail. It is my belief that—”
“Leave your hysterics for later and get on to meat of things,” Leelan snapped. Deschane straightened a bit in his seat and scowled as his layers of bandages shifted. The man was practically mummified by the sheer extent of his wounds that it was a wonder he had managed to limp into the tent in the first place. But the navigator had made a point of refusing to be debriefed in his sick bed and had insisted that he be given no further pain killers. This was to prove that his report was not at all influenced by the effects of opiates, as well as to underline the supposed importance of his eyewitness account as the sole survivor of the siege of Mound 13.
But Colonel Leelan was no fool. He knew the tactic for what it was: a bit of playacting by a soon-to-be-disgraced officer, a desperate attempt to pass himself off as a tragic hero rather than the author of the most monumental military cock-up of the decade.
You may very well get that wish, Deschane, Leelan smirked inwardly. If you play your cards right. You’ll find that I can put on a pantomime as well as the next man.
Deschane regarded him cooly, replying:
“You asked for my report, sir. I am stating the facts as I understand them.”
“Understand?” Leelan guffawed, “There’s precious little to understand about this debacle! Explain to me how a routine scouting mission winds up in the loss of 5,000 men, a Rear-Admiral and an entire frontline outpost! Explain to me how you not only got every last one of your own men slaughtered, but still managed to save your own sorry arse!”
Now that had an effect on the navigator’s bearing. He dropped the holier-than-thou attitude and even pretended to dab at some moisture in corners of his eye. For a moment his mask of iron cracked and he looked tired enough to sleep for a thousand years, never to waken. Then he seemed to recall that his career was at stake and had the temerity to argue with the Colonel:
“We were given faulty intelligence. I made mistakes, I’ll admit that here and now. We should never have continued after our pack animals were trapped in the mire. The gear slowed us down in enemy territory. I can’t wash my hands of the loss of my platoon. They were the best and bravest men I ever fought with, and I will carry the shame of losing them to my grave. The fact that I am still alive when none of them are breathing is an accident that was not of my choosing. As for Mound 13, it was only a matter of time before they were discovered and dealt with. They were only two day’s travel from Mound Euler. In fact, it was miracle they managed to exist for so long undetected.”
Magnificent deflection. Colonel Leelan had to admire the snake and his flawless attempt to pass the blame onto the shoulders of the dead Rear-Admiral Prota.
Yes, I think we can make an arrangement here, the Colonel thought wryly. He waved Deschane’s prattling aside and said:
“This omega-class colony of yours. A mound so large that is beggars belief, you say? Curious, then, that such an object should have escaped your keen senses for three whole days!”
“Visibility in that terrain and climate is poor. But yes, it was another one of my errors.”
“I’m so glad that you agree,” Leelan purred, his words dripping with condescension. He reached into the drawer of his desk and took out a bottle of fermented honeydew. Uncorking it with a loud pop, he poured out two glasses and lifted one to his lips, saying:
“On a related note, it’s funny how the fog of war can obscure so many important details. Even the best commanders can lose their bearings, lose sight of the greater picture, fixate on the wrong things. Take our dearly departed Rear-Admiral Prota, for example (may she rest in the Flight Eternal). Not to speak ill of the dead, but she was assigned an entire sector for her research into enemy behavior. And what does she do with it? Cultural studies! Anthropology! As if the Amits have a culture worth sneezing at! They’ve been working with flint and wood since this primeval war of ours began, and they’ve never taken the hint. Meanwhile, we’ve finally gained the advantage of powder and artillery and mass-produceable gas masks.”
“One big push! That’s all it would take to clear the northern highlands. We have the men, the will and the technology to do it! The last thing we need is some starry-eyed academic telling us that the Amits have somehow found religion. I mean, really!” Colonel Leelan warmed to his subject, “Five thousand soldiers dedicated to safeguarding some blessed cave paintings, right on the frontlines, too! What a waste. Like you said: if you hadn’t led the Amits directly to them, someone else would have down the line.”
“We took steps to ensure they wouldn’t follow us. We tried, but they found the fear-death pheromones—”
“Steps?” Leelan pressed him mercilessly, “What steps, exactly?”
Deschane looked away and said nothing. Leelan sniffed, continuing:
“I thought so. As I was saying, Prota’s project was doomed from the start. It was an ill-conceived, harebrained mission, and now the Admiralty will have to explain to Fleet Command and the general public how it lost an entire regiment in the name of some woman’s flight of fancy. But there is a silver lining to all this. Seeing as how we recaptured what was left of Mound 13 within mere hours of it falling, we think there’s a way to salvage the situation after all. You can be part of that, Deschane. Every victory may have its price, but it must also have its heroes.”
Leelan sipped his honeydew, waiting for the offer he’d made to sink in. Deschane smiled, a humorless crack in his granite features.
“You’re going to make me a hero?” he asked. Leelan nudged the other glass towards him, shrugging:
“And why not? Someone has to wear the medals. ‘Lone Survivor of Desperate Last Stand’,” Leelan exclaimed, dramatically forecasting the future headlines, “He tried to warn them, but did they listen? You get the rest, I imagine. We’ll have to improve some of the details, of course. Like how it was the 3rd Pathfinder Regiment which held back the flood of Amits in the final hour and ignited the fortress’ ammo depot—”
“We never did that,” Deschane objected, rudely cutting off Leelan’s train of thought, “It was the Divine Engine. I saw it with my own eyes. It broke out of Mound 13 and slaughtered the enemy.”
Leelan sighed.
“Not this again. Deschane, I’d appreciate it if you’d save your hallucinations for the regimental shrink. Think, man! The honor of our unit is at stake here. You have a chance to redeem the men of your platoon, even if you can never truly redeem yourself.”
“I saw it,” Deschane growled, and for a moment Leelan almost reached for his ceremonial saber hanging by its belt on his coatrack, “Sir, it left footprints the size of—”
“For heaven’s sake, you witless worm, the earthquake was felt all the way in the Southern Delta! Not very big one, but certainly enough to account for the avalanches and landslides that took place around Mound 13, not to mention the sinkhole we found you snoring in! It’s certainly not the first time an uncontrolled detonation triggered a seismic event. Deschane, I’ll only say this once: either you get your story straight or by thunder, I’ll bury you so deep in shit you’ll start to think you’re made of it! And you are! If you breathe a word of this delirious vision of yours to the press, you’ll not only receive no medals, but I’ll have you court-martialed faster than you can say ‘diddly-squat’. Which is precisely what you’ll be left with unless you jump like a good boy and ask how high. No honor, no rank, no reputation, no pension. Nothing! Do you understand?”
Colonel Leelan wrathfully thrust the glass at Deschane, spilling most of it in the process.
“Well, do you?”
Deschane hobbled out of the tent, escorted by a pair of grenadiers in fluffy white shakos. They sealed the adhesive lining of the tent airlock after him and the Navigator went on his way, the taste of honeydew lingering on his tongue like a bitter poison. He lifted his mask and hawked up a gob of spit that eloquently described his opinion of the colonel, wiping his scowling mouth with the back of his hand.
Ven was waiting for him with the crutches, a young and rather portly corporal with apple cheeks and a worried, pouting mouth. She helped Deschane as he made the slow and painful walk across the encampment to his field tent, the lord navigator deep in thought. Along the way they cut across the central avenue of the camp where a seemingly endless artillery train was lumbering its way up from the south and curving around the broad talus skirts of Gorgo Plateau, teams of scuttling myropods hitched to six or twelve-pounder guns, their hundreds of tiny legs threshing the soil into a quagmire. Behind them, plodding dejectedly into the rapidly liquefying mud, were ranks upon rank of fresh colonial levees, their brand-new sealant suits creaking loudly at the joints as they made what for most of them would be their first expedition into the surface world.
And what a foray it would prove to be. Almost two hundred thousand men amd women were mustered here at the edge of civilization, poised on the cusp of what was to be the largest surface offensive in recorded history. The Fleet had arrived in the Northern Hinterlands, and it had come to conquer.
"Gangway!" the levees hollered at Ven as she tried to cut a path for Deschane through the line, "Can't you see we's marching 'ere, ya stoopid bint?"
"He's an officer, ain't he?" she screamed back, pointing at the navigator.
Upon noticing the faded chevrons on Deschane's shoulders some of them clumsily snapped to attention, stopping in their tracks. Their comrades behind them, oblivious to this turn of events, bowled right into them, causing a minor stampede. Men and women cursed as they dropped their pristine muskets, never fired in the heat of battle, into the churning soup at their feet, or themselves went sprawling on their hands and knees. Baton-wielding sergeants descended on the mess, screaming for them to get back up, generously assisting them with a boot to the rump or a smack on the side of the head. Deschane looked back at the display for a long moment, as if considering something. Abruptly he grunted at Ven and they continued on their way to the outskirts where the Pathfinders were billeted.
She waited until they were inside the tent and Deschane was back in his sick bed, the navigator turning his back to her in stony silence. Cautiously, she ventured:
“What now, sir?”
“Draw up a list of volunteers,” he rasped, “But do it on the sly. We’re going back out there."
"Very good, sir," Ven squeaked, and went scurrying out of the navigator's chambers, sealing the tent flap softly behind her. She knew that tone and what it signified: the lord navigator had made up his mind, and heaven help whoever would stand in his way.

The Colonel’s tent was leaking again. Ordinarily such a mistake would’ve earned his adjutant an hour-long dressing down and possibly, if the Colonel was feeling particularly enthusiastic, a sharp backhanded slap across the face. After all, a leaky tent could hardly be said to be hermetically sealed, now could it? But this affront to his sensibilities paled in comparison to the utter travesty and exemplar of sheer incompetence that now sat before his desk, a sagging wreck of a man in the tattered uniform of a Fleet officer. Colonel Moch Leelan curled his lip at it and barked:
“Once more, if you please. And I don’t want this on record,” he added, darting a look at the clerk poised to take dictation in the corner of the room, “Not a word of this gets out. There’s been enough of a snafu already, and the brass won’t stop shitting down my neck about Mound 13 and the loss of Prota’s pestilential pet project. Did you hear me, man? I said start from the beginning!”
Outside the monsoon was intensifying into one of those proverbial downpours which prompted doddering old men to remark that it was ‘raining cats and dogs’, though what either a cat or a dog were, none could now say. A trickle of it seeped in like a string of winking glass beads, catching the orange glow of the gas lamp and turning into sparks of amber, into seeds of flame. They dripped on the bald man seated on the low footstool, and he raised his head to meet the scornful gaze of the Colonel, grey eyes unabashed and unafraid. He spoke then, in a hoarse voice that matched his pallid flesh and buzzard nose:
“It was the third day of reconnaissance. We were forced to abandon our pack-beasts in the mire. My assistant and I—”
“Name, rank and serial number!” Colonel Leelan interrupted, for the sole purpose of seeing the coward blink and quaver like the worm he was. But in that he was to be disappointed, for the man continued in the same flat tone:
“Sollem Deschane, Lord Navigator, 3rd Pathfinder Regiment, serial number 18911944. We received orders from the Admiralty and Fleet Command to reconnoiter the area around the enemy concentration designated as Mound Euler. I was to lead a platoon of twenty handpicked volunteers across the river Foss at its lowest point, then scale the outlying cliffs to get better readings as we mapped out the approaches to Mound Euler. It was the third day of reconnaissance. We were forced to abandon our myropods in the mud and carry our own gear. My assistant navigator Rene Louvoture and I noticed a discrepancy with our visually confirmed data and the aerial sketches of the Aeronautical Division. We quickly worked out that the enemy concentration far exceeded initial estimates by an order of magnitude. Mound Euler is an omega-class colony the likes of which the Fleet has faced only once in its entire existence, during the Scouring of Assail. It is my belief that—”
“Leave your hysterics for later and get on to meat of things,” Leelan snapped. Deschane straightened a bit in his seat and scowled as his layers of bandages shifted. The man was practically mummified by the sheer extent of his wounds that it was a wonder he had managed to limp into the tent in the first place. But the navigator had made a point of refusing to be debriefed in his sick bed and had insisted that he be given no further pain killers. This was to prove that his report was not at all influenced by the effects of opiates, as well as to underline the supposed importance of his eyewitness account as the sole survivor of the siege of Mound 13.
But Colonel Leelan was no fool. He knew the tactic for what it was: a bit of playacting by a soon-to-be-disgraced officer, a desperate attempt to pass himself off as a tragic hero rather than the author of the most monumental military cock-up of the decade.
You may very well get that wish, Deschane, Leelan smirked inwardly. If you play your cards right. You’ll find that I can put on a pantomime as well as the next man.
Deschane regarded him cooly, replying:
“You asked for my report, sir. I am stating the facts as I understand them.”
“Understand?” Leelan guffawed, “There’s precious little to understand about this debacle! Explain to me how a routine scouting mission winds up in the loss of 5,000 men, a Rear-Admiral and an entire frontline outpost! Explain to me how you not only got every last one of your own men slaughtered, but still managed to save your own sorry arse!”
Now that had an effect on the navigator’s bearing. He dropped the holier-than-thou attitude and even pretended to dab at some moisture in corners of his eye. For a moment his mask of iron cracked and he looked tired enough to sleep for a thousand years, never to waken. Then he seemed to recall that his career was at stake and had the temerity to argue with the Colonel:
“We were given faulty intelligence. I made mistakes, I’ll admit that here and now. We should never have continued after our pack animals were trapped in the mire. The gear slowed us down in enemy territory. I can’t wash my hands of the loss of my platoon. They were the best and bravest men I ever fought with, and I will carry the shame of losing them to my grave. The fact that I am still alive when none of them are breathing is an accident that was not of my choosing. As for Mound 13, it was only a matter of time before they were discovered and dealt with. They were only two day’s travel from Mound Euler. In fact, it was miracle they managed to exist for so long undetected.”
Magnificent deflection. Colonel Leelan had to admire the snake and his flawless attempt to pass the blame onto the shoulders of the dead Rear-Admiral Prota.
Yes, I think we can make an arrangement here, the Colonel thought wryly. He waved Deschane’s prattling aside and said:
“This omega-class colony of yours. A mound so large that is beggars belief, you say? Curious, then, that such an object should have escaped your keen senses for three whole days!”
“Visibility in that terrain and climate is poor. But yes, it was another one of my errors.”
“I’m so glad that you agree,” Leelan purred, his words dripping with condescension. He reached into the drawer of his desk and took out a bottle of fermented honeydew. Uncorking it with a loud pop, he poured out two glasses and lifted one to his lips, saying:
“On a related note, it’s funny how the fog of war can obscure so many important details. Even the best commanders can lose their bearings, lose sight of the greater picture, fixate on the wrong things. Take our dearly departed Rear-Admiral Prota, for example (may she rest in the Flight Eternal). Not to speak ill of the dead, but she was assigned an entire sector for her research into enemy behavior. And what does she do with it? Cultural studies! Anthropology! As if the Amits have a culture worth sneezing at! They’ve been working with flint and wood since this primeval war of ours began, and they’ve never taken the hint. Meanwhile, we’ve finally gained the advantage of powder and artillery and mass-produceable gas masks.”
“One big push! That’s all it would take to clear the northern highlands. We have the men, the will and the technology to do it! The last thing we need is some starry-eyed academic telling us that the Amits have somehow found religion. I mean, really!” Colonel Leelan warmed to his subject, “Five thousand soldiers dedicated to safeguarding some blessed cave paintings, right on the frontlines, too! What a waste. Like you said: if you hadn’t led the Amits directly to them, someone else would have down the line.”
“We took steps to ensure they wouldn’t follow us. We tried, but they found the fear-death pheromones—”
“Steps?” Leelan pressed him mercilessly, “What steps, exactly?”
Deschane looked away and said nothing. Leelan sniffed, continuing:
“I thought so. As I was saying, Prota’s project was doomed from the start. It was an ill-conceived, harebrained mission, and now the Admiralty will have to explain to Fleet Command and the general public how it lost an entire regiment in the name of some woman’s flight of fancy. But there is a silver lining to all this. Seeing as how we recaptured what was left of Mound 13 within mere hours of it falling, we think there’s a way to salvage the situation after all. You can be part of that, Deschane. Every victory may have its price, but it must also have its heroes.”
Leelan sipped his honeydew, waiting for the offer he’d made to sink in. Deschane smiled, a humorless crack in his granite features.
“You’re going to make me a hero?” he asked. Leelan nudged the other glass towards him, shrugging:
“And why not? Someone has to wear the medals. ‘Lone Survivor of Desperate Last Stand’,” Leelan exclaimed, dramatically forecasting the future headlines, “He tried to warn them, but did they listen? You get the rest, I imagine. We’ll have to improve some of the details, of course. Like how it was the 3rd Pathfinder Regiment which held back the flood of Amits in the final hour and ignited the fortress’ ammo depot—”
“We never did that,” Deschane objected, rudely cutting off Leelan’s train of thought, “It was the Divine Engine. I saw it with my own eyes. It broke out of Mound 13 and slaughtered the enemy.”
Leelan sighed.
“Not this again. Deschane, I’d appreciate it if you’d save your hallucinations for the regimental shrink. Think, man! The honor of our unit is at stake here. You have a chance to redeem the men of your platoon, even if you can never truly redeem yourself.”
“I saw it,” Deschane growled, and for a moment Leelan almost reached for his ceremonial saber hanging by its belt on his coatrack, “Sir, it left footprints the size of—”
“For heaven’s sake, you witless worm, the earthquake was felt all the way in the Southern Delta! Not very big one, but certainly enough to account for the avalanches and landslides that took place around Mound 13, not to mention the sinkhole we found you snoring in! It’s certainly not the first time an uncontrolled detonation triggered a seismic event. Deschane, I’ll only say this once: either you get your story straight or by thunder, I’ll bury you so deep in shit you’ll start to think you’re made of it! And you are! If you breathe a word of this delirious vision of yours to the press, you’ll not only receive no medals, but I’ll have you court-martialed faster than you can say ‘diddly-squat’. Which is precisely what you’ll be left with unless you jump like a good boy and ask how high. No honor, no rank, no reputation, no pension. Nothing! Do you understand?”
Colonel Leelan wrathfully thrust the glass at Deschane, spilling most of it in the process.
“Well, do you?”
Deschane hobbled out of the tent, escorted by a pair of grenadiers in fluffy white shakos. They sealed the adhesive lining of the tent airlock after him and the Navigator went on his way, the taste of honeydew lingering on his tongue like a bitter poison. He lifted his mask and hawked up a gob of spit that eloquently described his opinion of the colonel, wiping his scowling mouth with the back of his hand.
Ven was waiting for him with the crutches, a young and rather portly corporal with apple cheeks and a worried, pouting mouth. She helped Deschane as he made the slow and painful walk across the encampment to his field tent, the lord navigator deep in thought. Along the way they cut across the central avenue of the camp where a seemingly endless artillery train was lumbering its way up from the south and curving around the broad talus skirts of Gorgo Plateau, teams of scuttling myropods hitched to six or twelve-pounder guns, their hundreds of tiny legs threshing the soil into a quagmire. Behind them, plodding dejectedly into the rapidly liquefying mud, were ranks upon rank of fresh colonial levees, their brand-new sealant suits creaking loudly at the joints as they made what for most of them would be their first expedition into the surface world.
And what a foray it would prove to be. Almost two hundred thousand men amd women were mustered here at the edge of civilization, poised on the cusp of what was to be the largest surface offensive in recorded history. The Fleet had arrived in the Northern Hinterlands, and it had come to conquer.

2024.05.16 21:55 jango-lionheart Motor mounts trashed at 7 years and 65k miles
 | The kid’s 2017 ST (factory stock) was intermittently making odd noises, mainly like things rubbing together but with some slight knocking. A Reddit post (link below) with audio of basically the same sound said the fix was a new PMM, but we did not see excessive engine movement (tested when parked) and suspected a bad CV joint. One CV boot was gone, the other was not far behind, and we got both joints replaced. But you know where this is going: the sound was still there! So, we bought a full set of Damond motor mounts. Installed the PMM first, and what do you know? Weird sounds went away, just like that video had suggested. We then installed the RMM and TMM. (Side note: the RMM greatly increased the NVH. It’s worst when taking off from a standstill. Hopefully it will settle down over the next several hundred miles, but TBH the kid doesn’t mind the “racecar feel” the car now has.) submitted by jango-lionheart to FocusST [link] [comments] The Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/FocusST/s/sanFyEqJ9f Another post describing the same scenario: https://www.focusst.org/threads/rattling-grinding-sound-coming-from-front-right-passenger-wheel-area.161517/ Attached are photos of the motor mounts so you can see what 7 years in the Florida heat did to them. |
2024.05.16 21:54 loyal872 VXE R1 Pro - computer freezing when booting
Hi everyone!
I got the R1 Pro a couple of days ago. Nothing else changed in my setup and no other new softwares were installed. There's sufficient space on my Windows drive as well. Since I'm using the new mouse, when I turn on my PC, my compuiter immediately freezes. I can't even boot into bios or anything. The screen is black and that's it. If I restart or turn off and turn on again, it works. However, this I do not like. On the other hand, I'm pleased with the mouse.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

2024.05.16 21:54 hannahsarradet I’ve been working from home my entire career and I find it so isolating
I graduated college in 2017 and have worked from home my entire career since then. I’m now 29 and I feel like I woke up one day just to realize I’ve lost 7 years of my career, and in a way, 7 years of life experience. I’ve never so much as had to get dressed for the office or had a conference room meeting or had to present myself professionally to people in person or gotten to see office politics play out up close and personal. All things I actually want to do despite how terrible people claim they are. When I was younger, I used to dream of getting into the corporate world bc it seemed important and interesting to me. Now of course I realize it’s not what I thought it was, but I was excited to be a part of it and I realize now that I never got to be. I’m scared to give up the flexibility that WFH gives me so I haven’t taken the leap of leaving altogether, but this has been such a problem for me that I even went so far as to start an office engagement initiative at my company (an initiative that failed) and it’s now become somewhat of a dream of mine to start a coworking space that doubles as a community center for people who WFH and just don’t want to feel trapped in their house everyday for the rest of their lives. I just don’t know if there’s anyone else out there who feels that way. As an adult I struggled to make friends and I always thought getting up and going into work every morning would be an important part of my socialization and a natural introduction to new and interesting people. I can’t let go of the idea that I’m really missing out on life by working fully remote.
I feel very alone in my stance so I’m curious to see what others have to say.

2024.05.16 21:52 ValonatorX 7 Day NYC Itinerary
Hi everyone! I am travelling with my partner to NYC for the first time in June – Was just hoping to receive some feedback on my proposed itinerary – is it too much, is there something obvious missing, alternatives, any obvious food options in given locations? Hoping to also visit a nice rooftop bar and/or jazz evening. Budget would be medium, willing to spend if something is really worth it as I see this for now as a once in a lifetime experience.
Not including specific times – the days can be rearranged in no specific order.
Any advice is welcomed, thanks!
DAY 1 (Arrival + Times Square)
4PM Arrive at hotel
Head over to Times Square
Los Tacos No.1
Browse Hershey & M&M stores
Head over to Bryant Park (Relax for a bit?)
Head over to Top of the Rock for a sunset view
DAY 2 (Central Park & 5th Avenue)
Start walking from St Patrick's Cathedral up 5th avenue
Visit/Quickly drop into Saks, Bergdorf Goodman, Apple
Short stop at Trump Tower
Maybe walk through Billionaire’s Row?
Central Park: Walk to Bethesda Terrace (Gapstow Bridge, Mall and Literary Walk – Picnic/food at migrant kitchen and relax)
Ukrainian Institute of New York (Ukrainian roots)
Rooftop Bar in evening? - Jazz in Lincoln Center?
(\too much walking? - Anything else missed?)*
DAY 3 (Chelsea & Hudson Yards)
Chelsea Market
Edge
High Line
Pier 57 & Little Island
(If time Museum of Illusions?)
Jazz at Village Vanguard? – too far away maybe?
DAY 4 – (Midtown East)
NYC Public Library
Grand Central Station
Vanderbilt Observation (Would love to see their interactive observation deck)
UN Guided tour?
Finish day with Field of light exhibition
???? Something else ?????
DAY 5 – Financial District
Oculus Shopping Centre
9/11 Memorial (I know the Museum is great, but I have heard that visiting it would ruin mood for the rest of the day)
Walk past Trinity Church/ FDNY Memorial Wall, Federal Hall, NYSE, Charging Bull
Battery Park – Take Circle Line Architecture Tour (I have heard that Statue of Liberty takes quite a few hours and isn’t so worth it?)
Joe’s Pizza when back
Anything else????
DAY 6 – (Brighton Beach/Dumbo)
Early in the morning – Walk Brooklyn Bridge
Go to Dumbo-Manhattan Bridge View
From there, take train to Brighton Beach – We want to experience the Eastern European aspect there
Go window shopping of the various eastern European shops there – are there many shops?
Swim and/or a few rides in either Deno’s or Luna Park - can be removed if too time-consuming
Nathan’s hotdogs/Tatiana’s restaurant.
The journey there is quite can be time-consuming …. ?
??? Anything else ???
DAY 7 – (DEPARTURE)
Flying back in the evening
Leave time for something we have not done yet or want to experience again - Flatiron district???, Macy’s?
I also have a Broadway show booked for the evening, however not sure where to include it, Al Hirschfield theatre is where it is at.
Thanks again, any advice or observations are greatly apreciated!

2024.05.16 21:47 Axayushx Please help, pc screen going black while gaming. Not completely sure what the issue is but I'm putting hardware for flair.
Every time I'm playing games (such as dark souls 3, elden ring, Baldurs Gate 3) my monitor screen goes black like it shut down and cpu stays on. I hear the game sound for a few seconds then the game sound disappears too. On very rare occasions, I'm not even playing games when my monitor screen shuts down. Things I've tried so far : Clicking window + ctrl + shift + B (does not work), reinstalling my ram, reinstalling my drivers, upgrading to windows 11 (I did this twice, also mentioning that both the times I changed window, I was able to play games a bit longer.), gpu temperature is fine but cpu temperature gets high (80-90°c while gaming) but it's summer here and it gets to 45°c here regularly. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out because I've searched the whole internet and people just post about it, no one seems to find a solution. Here's my specs :- Ryzen 7 3700x, nvidia RTX 3060, 16 GB ram.

2024.05.16 21:47 Practical-Baseball57 HDR setting question
Just got my Legion 7 gen 8 AMD 7945HX with RTX-4080 two days ago. Playing around with the HDR setting today and got confused. In Window's settings/system/display, if I turn on `Use HDR` the tiny preview on the top left actaully becomes dull and looks non HDR to me. The preview, however, is vivid and HDR like when `Use HDR` is turned off. I also noticed that there is also a HDR setting in Nvidia control panel. So I am a bit confused. Which place/setting I should use toggle HDR? Or it is acutally something done automatically by the system regardless what toggle I choose?

2024.05.16 21:47 bensto1 24/7
Hi, I’m UK based but have a really nice pair of Thorogoods (804-3898) that I’ve had 3 weeks and I’m really happy with. Only downside I can see is I’m wearing them a lot…6-7 days a week between work and my own projects which is generating a lot of moisture and not a lot of ‘down time’ how best can I look after them? (Are boot dryers actually worth it or not recommended for leather with liners) or any other maintenance etc
Other than that I gave them a good dose of mink oil and then Celtic grease (not sure you have that in USA) I work in a timber machine shop so very dusty!
