So I would like to go for some casual non-motor powered dinghy-only sailing (jolle segeln) in lakes all over Germany and currently in the southern lakes of Leipzig.
My background: I completed a full practical sailing course with the Hochschulsport Hannover where I trained to sail a two-handed sailing dinghy (Der Pirat Bootsklasse). The dinghy was 5 m long (LOA) with a total sail (jib + main) area of 10 m² and spinnaker of 10 m². At the end of the course I received a provisional or a Hochschulsport licence to sail dinghies and I used it to go sailing several times in Hannover and also later competed in regattas organised by the Hochschulsport.
Additionally, I rented and sailed a dinghy once in Rügen (within a small restricted area along the coast). I also sailed a Laser II dinghy several times in the Bodensee through the Hochschulsport Konstanz and within an area restricted for use for Hochschulsport members.
I am aware a license requirement is non-negotiable in waterways with commercial or heavy traffic but not sure how it is when it comes to recreational boating with low-very low and/or 'recreational' traffic. Interestingly, and IIRC, one does not need any training (let alone a license) at all to rent and enjoy vessels such as kanu, kayak, ruderboot, tretboot or tretboot with a small electric motor. Just some basic instructions and you are good to go. However, it is not always so easy and clear with sail power.
Therefore, given all this information, I wanted to know to whether and to what extent I can sail (inland - lakes) in Germany without an official segelschein (SBF-Binnen)? I would really love to sail and will of course present my Hochschulsport segelschein to the respective rental.
Thanks a lot for your replies. :)
PS: I would really love to get an official sailing license but I am strongly restricted due to my limited German language skills :P

She’s thinking from what she’s read about the “difficulties of interpretation” and the plot synopsis of Lost Highway, Mulholland Dr. and INLAND EMPIRE that they are about Lynch’s inability to confront the truth that he is a brainwashed victim of an inherently dark organization.
Hollywood = Transcendental Meditation.
Trauma = “unstressing” a process where the TM meditator suffers a nervous breakdown and is told it’s healthy
Sex and violence = the countless tales of death, torture, and sexual assault in TM
Identity confusion = loss of individuality from bad practice, disordered perception from austerity
The fact that there’s always a sense that, well , you know, maybe the movies just don’t make sense = just David half frightened half narcissistic putting up his torment (that’s kinda my take tbh) (one of my favorite cinematic painters but no Bunuel 🙂)
I mean if Eraserhead is his most spiritual film 😂 she needs an angle if she’s gonna watch any more.
What do you think?

Sri Lanka, with its rich tapestry of landscapes ranging from pristine beaches to misty mountains and dense rainforests, is a playground for adventure enthusiasts. From surfing along the coast to hiking through rugged terrain and encountering wildlife in its natural habitat, there's no shortage of exhilarating experiences waiting to be discovered. Join us as we delve into the must-try adventures that make Sri Lanka a haven for thrill-seekers.
Surfing in Arugam Bay: Riding the Waves
Our adventure begins on the east coast of Sri Lanka, in the laid-back beach town of Arugam Bay. Known as one of the best surfing destinations in the world, Arugam Bay offers perfect waves for surfers of all levels, from beginners to experienced riders. Whether you're a novice looking to catch your first wave or an experienced surfer seeking a new challenge, Arugam Bay has something for everyone, making it an ideal destination for those booking Sri Lanka tour packages.
Heading out to the lineup, we paddle into the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, feeling the thrill of catching our first wave and riding it all the way to shore. With the sun on our backs and the sound of the surf in our ears, we lose ourselves in the rhythm of the ocean, carving through the waves and feeling a sense of freedom like never before.
Hiking in Ella: Scaling Peaks and Chasing Waterfalls
Leaving the coast behind, we head inland to the misty mountains of Ella, a picturesque hill town surrounded by lush tea plantations and verdant valleys. Lace up your hiking boots and get ready to explore some of Sri Lanka's most breathtaking landscapes.
Our first stop is Little Adam's Peak, a relatively easy hike that rewards us with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from its summit. Continuing our adventure, we trek through dense forests and along rocky paths to reach the majestic Ella Rock, where we're treated to sweeping vistas of the Ella Gap and the distant peaks beyond.
Whale Watching in Mirissa: Encounter Giants of the Sea
No trip to Sri Lanka would be complete without a whale watching adventure off the coast of Mirissa, where we have the opportunity to encounter some of the ocean's most magnificent creatures up close.
Boarding a sturdy boat, we set out into the open waters of the Indian Ocean, scanning the horizon for signs of movement. Suddenly, a spout of water erupts from the surface, followed by the sight of a massive blue whale breaking the surface in a breathtaking display of power and grace. As we watch in awe, pods of dolphins playfully leap alongside the boat, completing the magical experience.
White Water Rafting in Kitulgala: Conquer the Rapids
For adrenaline junkies seeking the ultimate thrill, white water rafting in Kitulgala is an adventure not to be missed. Nestled amidst the lush forests of the central highlands, Kitulgala is home to some of the best white water rafting experiences in Asia, with exhilarating rapids and stunning scenery at every turn.
Strapping on our life jackets and helmets, we paddle our way through turbulent waters, navigating steep drops and swirling currents with the help of our expert guides. With each twist and turn of the river, we feel a rush of adrenaline coursing through our veins, making for an unforgettable adventure that will leave us craving more.
Safari in Yala National Park: Encounter Wildlife in the Wild
Our final adventure takes us to Yala National Park, Sri Lanka's premier wildlife sanctuary and home to a diverse array of exotic animals, including leopards, elephants, and sloth bears.
Boarding a rugged safari jeep, we venture deep into the heart of the park, our eyes peeled for signs of movement amidst the dense foliage. Suddenly, a majestic leopard emerges from the shadows, its golden coat glistening in the sunlight as it prowls through the underbrush in search of prey. As we continue our safari, we encounter herds of elephants bathing in the river, colorful birds flitting through the trees, and playful monkeys swinging from branch to branch, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of life that thrives in this pristine wilderness.
Conclusion: An Adventure of a Lifetime
As our adventure-filled journey through Sri Lanka comes to an end, we're filled with a sense of exhilaration and gratitude for the experiences we've shared and the memories we've made along the way. From riding the waves in Arugam Bay to hiking through misty mountains, encountering giants of the sea in Mirissa, conquering rapids in Kitulgala, and encountering wildlife in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka has captured our hearts and left us with a lifetime of cherished memories.
Whether you're a seasoned thrill-seeker or an adventurous soul looking to push your boundaries, Sri Lanka offers a myriad of experiences that are sure to satisfy your craving for adventure. So pack your bags, embark on your own Sri Lankan adventure, and prepare to be amazed by the wonders that await in this tropical paradise.

Hi I've applied as a biochem premed to both CWRU and UCR.
I've accepted the offer to CWRU under parental pressure and the May 1st deadline but have an email drafted to withdraw to choose UCR.
My biggest and only concern is how will I fit, will I be able to prosper as myself and grow to be the best med school applicant I can be. I'm excited for the various oppertunities and flexible majors at case but as a california resident I'm not sure about adjusting to Cleveland in terms of vegetarian options, starkly different weather, amongst other smaller things. The larger issue is being a spring admit I only join campus in 2025, I've figured out how CC credit works after a week of emailing many faculty and found the most direct way to ensure I don't fall behind and can graduate within 3.5 semesters. If I don't graduate in 3.5 semesters my total tuition cost (estimated 235k) will increase to over 290k easily and that's quite unfeasable if I aspire to also attend med school and we're already likely to take out a lone but my dad is insistent that it's a far better program being 17th in the nation and next to so many hospitals like cleveland clinic.
UCR appears like it would be more comfortable and easier to adjust to. I'm unsure about quarter systems but optimistically despite being fast paced with tests cramped up I think it may help pad up my gpa. The EAP doesn't seem to be easy since they look for apt dedication to the inland empire which seems like they may favor other demographics or like those residents but it;s still worth a shot. I'm happier with a lesser commute and that some friends are there. The LOC's we get placed in seem much easier to socialize iwth compared to a spring semester. BUt then again my priority is maxing chances, will the competition at CWRU overwhelm me? I always took harder classes in hs but feel behind gradually from more so negligence but I have an upward trajectory and just want an envrionment that bests fosters this growth. I'm aware most freshman premeds fizzle out but in this moment I am dedicated. I don't want to contribute to any sort of elitist toxicity or whatnot but I do hear that more associated ucr than cwru, I want a collaborative environment with oppertunities to research and both schools are great at the latter. Advising at case seems greatly structured but overwhelmed wheras I heard bad reviews on HPAC but I called them with a few questions and they were quite helpful. Case does have a student run clinic but so does ucr, in fact 6. Both have ems programs that I intend on joining but discovery week iirc for case is in the fall so I'd miss it. I would like to know the proportion of UCR applicants who got in a med school since I do know that case has 86%, I know that's not a probablity I should bank on but it seems like in the case two people apply to x med school would they be compared by the same undergrad institute or by all applicants. If that's not true I'm just not sure, this feels more like a desperate rant than a comparison, I know ucr is no cakewalk and premed is universally a difficult marathon, do I sound liek someone who would fare better at a liberal arts school and be able to transition to living far (do most kids? My family knows several kids who got sick and had to drop out and I did have pneuomonia 3 years ago but they say I'll be fine idk) I do want to rise up to the challange but I don't want to get crushed by pressure and be in debt before graduating (ucr total is approx 176k and could be less if I rent a cheap house instead).

I mean, almost every single issue that plagued them in the early stage of development into the first years of construction has been fixed (no really). The only ways the cost can increase is...

1. Anyone from not-so Left Wing NIMBYS in LA/SF Bay Area to Right Wing Trolls/Brats in the Central Valley or Inland Empire sabotaging the project either by suing continuously or bash it on social media which can turn people against it. NEVER take these people seriously as they usually don't know what they are talking about as they can't just become experts on infrastructure and transpiration overnight.
2. Not getting the full funding sooner, which will drive up the cost of the project. And if anyone speaks against finishing the project, it's the auto and airline industries talking, not their heart.
3. It has been DECADES since a piece of infrastructure has been built at this scale. And no, Brightline Florida is not a good excuse since that is not entirely grade separated though Brightline West maybe. I actually think Brightline can help CAHSR finish the Palmdale - LA segment since both will be using the same corridor. Should be a no brainier to get it over with.

All that I ask is to give it a chance and not slander it any further because the more damage you give it, the longer and more expensive it will be. The first Shinkhansen and TGV lines while under development and construction faced very similar issues and cost overruns. In fact, the 'father' of the Shinkhansen is now considered a disgrace by locals due to the Shinkhansen's cost overruns NO JOKE. But look at them today, those points are almost never brought up by anyone.

Once again, my next post concerning the localized script of Cold Steel III. With this, I'll tackle the first part of Chapter 3. The points shown here are based on my sensibilities as to what lines cause issues for the dialogue, from being outright wrong to being awkward. My previous posts are listed below:

• Prologue: https://www.reddit.com/Falcom/s/iU44PytvbN
  
• Chapter 1: https://www.reddit.com/Falcom/s/cTjkFwRsAM
  
• Chapter 2 (1/2): https://www.reddit.com/Falcom/s/973QP55DqX
  
• Chapter 2 (2/2): https://www.reddit.com/Falcom/s/XrHBTWb0hr
  

Chapter 3

• 1:「I take it this means House Hyarms will be the only one of the Four Great Houses in attendance?」 / 「“四大”から当主が出席するのはそちらの家だけになりそうだな？」

The localization has Jusis word this an absolute. "当主" should refer to the actual head of the house. Jusis could've said: [I take it this means House Hyarms will be the only one of the Four Great Houses in with it's head attendance?]

• 2:「Every bit as tasty as the pancakes Tilly and I had earlier.」 / 「この前アーちゃんと食べたパンケーキに負けてないかなぁ。」

The phrasing choice of "earlier" in the localization makes this reference to a moment in Chapter 1, pretty much two months ago, strange. It feels like way too much like a direct translation of "この前," without the context. Millium could've said: [Every bit as tasty as the pancakes Tilly and I had (anything that'd make more sense) before/in Leeves/a couple months ago.]

• 3:「I figured Nidhoggr would be good, but the other guys are no slouches themselves.」 / 「“竜”も“連中”も悪くない。」

Random moment in the localization where refering to the jaeger corp in question as just "the dragons"/"竜" is omitted. There were no issues in any other instance. Shirley could've said: [I figured the dragons would be good, but the other guys are no slouches themselves.]

• 4:「The dragon lost its head, and as for the other group, well...」 / 「“竜”は頭が変わり、“彼ら”の方といえば──」

The original has it as "changed"/"変わり," not outright lost. Gareth could've said: [The dragon changed its head, and as for the other group, well...]

• 5:「We've got two of the strongest jaeger corps--the dragons and these jaegers in purple--battling it out...」 / 「──最強の猟兵団２つに“竜”たち、そして紫の一団……」

The localization phrases this in a different way than it should. It's denoted that "the dragons and these jaegers in purple" are emphasized as the "two strongest jager corps"; however, the original is listing the four in the scene. Sara could've said: [We've got two of the strongest jaeger corps--Zephyr and the Red Constelation--the dragons and these jaegers in purple, battling it out.]

• 6:「What's this big conference thing about?」 / 「『領邦会議』って何なの？」

The localization changes the clear question about the actual term she read about, just to make it sillier. Besides the fact that it even chooses to swap "council" for "conference." Juna could've said: [What's this Provincial Council thing about?]

• 7:「One time, some bandits captured me and held me in a stone prison...」 / 「とある小国では、山賊に捕まり一週間も岩牢へぶち込まれた事があったのお……」

The localization omits the time held captive, "one week"/"一週間." Old Man Rod could've said: [One time, some bandits captured me and held me in a stone prison for a whole week...]

• 8:「Speaking of which, was the Azure Knight ever retrieved?」 / 「そういえば《蒼の騎神》は軍に回収されたのよね？」

「I heard that they sealed it up so that the Noble Alliance wouldn't get their hands on it.」 / 「貴族勢力に使われないよう厳重に封印したって聞いたけど……」
Very weird way to phrase this line by the localization. Especially considering that it is also said "they sealed it" in the next line. The original already mentions the "military"/"軍." Celine could've said: [Speaking of which, was/wasn't the Azure Knight ever retrieved by the military?]

• 9:「Mastering this form is more difficult than any other. I do not know if you are even capable of such a feat, yet...」 / 「その極みは他の型よりも遠く、おぬしが“理”に至れるかは分からぬが……」

The localization lumps the meaning of reaching the "pinnacle" or "heights"/"極み" and "enlightenment"/"理" to be the same thing as "mastering"/"奥伝" the 7th form. That's simply wrong. Yun Ka-Fai's letter could've said: [Reaching the pinnacle of this form is more difficult than any other. I do not know if you are even capable of attaining "enlightenment", yet...]

• 10:「Not to mention, I can't imagine you'd need a third. Not at this point in your relationship, anyway♡.」 / 「それにせっかくの２人きりの機会……水を差すのは野暮というものですし♡」

The localization adds what I assume is meant to be a "threesome" joke. Sharon could've said: [Not to mention, I can't imagine you'd like me to intrude on your private time♡]

• 11:「My school and the cathedral are in the same district, in case you were wondering.」 / 「何しろ、女学院と大聖堂は同じサンクト地区にありますしね。」

The localization saw fit to omit the specifications of the district. Elise could've said: [My school/St. Astraia/the Girl's School and the cathedral are both in the Sankt District, in case you were wondering.]

• 12:「(Yes, I have. When I was accompanying the inspection team in Crossbell, I did some studying there.)」 / 「（ええ、ですがクロスベルの視察団に同行するのにあたって一通り勉強しましたから。）」

Actually, it's completely wrong. When questioned, by Rean, that she's never been to Armorica Village before, she's not supposed to have "studied in the village." Elise should've said: [Yes, I haven't. However, when I was accompanying the inspection team in Crossbell, I did some studying/read all *about it.]

• 13:「We have the Goddess of the Sky, but they worship something else.」 / 「彼らは空の女神と同じくらい大切にしているものがあるんだ。」

「What is it that the Nord people worship?」 / 「ノルドの民が、空の女神と同じくらい大切にしているものは？」
There isn't supposed to be a comparison that reads as if the Nord people worship "something else" instead of Aidios. Rean could've said: [They also have the Goddess of the Sky, but they worship something else equally.]

• 14:「He knows a lot about cooking, and he tells me all about the academy. Teehee, he's so helpful.」 / 「お料理も詳しいし、学院の事情なんかも教えてくださるの。ふふ、助かっているわ。」

「With such an amazing faculty member, Thors must really be an excellent school.」 / 「あんなに優秀な職員さんが いるなんて、トールズってやっぱり名門校なのねぇ。」
「Hahaha...(That doesn't quite seem like Celestin, but...)」 / 「ははは……（セレスタンさんはちょっと特別な気もするが……）」
The localization got this one completely wrong. How is describing Celestin as "knowledgeable about cooking" and "helpful" not like him? That response makes no sense. First, the second line should read more generalizing the compliments to the whole staff; Cattleya could've said: [With such an amazing faculty member/members Thors must really be an excellent school.] Second, the meaning is that "Celestin is a unique case among the faculty" (in regards to being so amazing.) Rean could've said: [Hahaha... (That doesn't quite seem like anyone but Celestin...)]

• 15:「Huh...? (Wait, is someone outside...?)」 / 「ふむ……（そういえば部屋の外に……）」

The localization also got this one wrong. The Japanese don't come across as completely unaware. The assumption of this scene is that to Wayne is standing outside the training hall. Rean could've said: [Huh...? (Wait, the one outside would be...)]

• 16:「She also said she apprenticed under a female martial artist and traveled around Erebonia...」 / 「外国人の女性武術家に弟子入りして、半年も帝国を放浪していたなんて話も聞きましたが……」

The localization omits the time spent traveling, "半年." Rean could've said: [She also said she apprenticed under a female martial artist and traveled around Erebonia for six months...]

• 17:「Yeah, thanks to this pendant Emma made me.」 / 「ああ……エマの魔力が込められこのペンダントの力を借りてだが。」

The localization simplifies the explanation. Rean could've said: [Yeah, thanks to this pendant Emma imbued with her magic.)

• 18:「A monster? Wait, that's a cryptid!」 / 「魔獣──いや、魔物のたぐいか！？」

「What a nightmarish beast that cryptid was...」 / 「はぁ、まさかあんな恐ろしい魔物がいるなんて……」
The localization mistranslated "fiend"/"魔物" for "cryptid"/"幻獣." Kurt could've said: [A monster? Wait that's some kind of fiend!] Musse could've said: [What a nightmarish beast that fiend was...]

• 19:「After paying a visit to Professor Schmidt, Rean walked George to the station, where his train back to Roer was waiting.」 / 「シュミット博士に一言挨拶を済ませた後、北東のルーレに向かうジョルジュを駅まで見送ることにしたのだった。」

The localization removes the direction of the city. The narration could've said: [After paying a visit to Professor Schmidt, Rean walked George to the station, where his train back to Roer, in the northeast, was waiting.]

• 20:「I considered making a last stand there, but news of the Northern War reached me.」 / 「１年は抵抗してやろうと思ったがそこへ《北方戦役》の話が降ってきた。」

The localization removes the remark about the duration of the last stand. Aurelia could've said: [I considered making a last stand there for a year, but news of the Northern War reached me.]

• 21:「You'll be just fine, Towa. Now let's get this show on the road!」 / 「フフ、ハーシェル先輩ならきっと大丈夫ですよ。一緒に頑張りましょう！」

The localization changes, addressing Towa by her surname. Munk could've said: [You'll be just fine, Herschel. Now let's get this show on the road!]

• 22:「Not to mention, as the student council president, you were highly regarded by many of your fellow students.」 / 「もとより、士官学院の生徒会長として貴族・平民を問わず多くの学院生たちから高い信頼を受け──」

The localization omits taking social classes into account. Munk could've said: [Not to mention, as the student council president, you were highly regarded by many of your fellow students--nobles and commoners alike.]

• 23:「Heehee. No elegant young maiden can resist the call of beautiful lace.」 / 「ふふっ、淑女の嗜みと言えばやはりマリアージュ・クロスははずせないでしょうね。」

The localization omits the mention of the brand. Musse could've said: [Heehee. No elegant young maiden can resist the call of Mariage Cross beautiful lace/Mariage Cross' beautiful lace.]

• 24:「Nothing draws a man's eye like a bit of lace...in just the right spot.」 / 「姫様から色々とプレゼントされたと聞きましたけど？」

The localization completely changes, from specifically teasing Elise to just be more of a general tease. Musse could've said: [I've heard that the princess has gifted you many such lace.]

• 25:「Although, I was shocked when she tried to pay for it with gunpowder.」 / 「手持ちがないからって報酬を弾薬で払おうとした時は驚いたけどね。」

The localization chooses to translate the general term for "ammunition"/"弾薬" to be specifically gunpowder. Marcus could've said: [Although, I was shocked when she tried to pay for it with ammunition/ammo/(maybe) bullets.]

• 26:「How about assorted Eastern sweets?」 / 「なら……『羊羹の詰め合わせ』はどうだ？」

The localization randomly chooses to translate "yokan"/"羊羹" as just generic "eastern sweets", after having no problem doing it correctly in all other instances. Rean could've said: [How about some assorted yokan?]

• 27:「Well, we've basically just been making whatever we want at the Cooking Club.」 / 「ま、具体的には料理研究会と女子の有志でメニュー追加ですね。」

The localization phrases the arrangement weirdly. Juna could've said: [Well, we've (Elise, Musse and Juna) basically just decided on the menu together with the Cooking Club.]

• 28:「The elder? Is she the one Emma and Vita call their grandmother?」 / 「“長”──エマが“お祖母ちゃん”、クロチルダさんが“婆様”と呼ぶ人だよな？」

「I'm also worried about the 'true story' that Vita mentioned.」 / 「クロチルダさんが言っていた“真なる物語”というのもあったな。」
Again, it's made to use "Vita" instead of "Clotilde." I've already explained in previous posts how these changes can affect the dynamics of characters negatively. Rean could've said: [I'm also worried about the 'true story' that Clotilde mentioned.]

• 29:「From that day, Emma began training and studying as hard as she could with one goal...」 / 「『あやつの事は忘れよ』という“長”の言葉にも納得せず、その日からひたすらに修行と勉学に励んでいったわ。」

The localization removes what Roselia told Emma. Celine could've said: [From the day the Elder said 'forget all about heVita', Emma began training and studying as hard as she could with one goal...)

• 30:「That's the golden Spiegel the principal mentioned!」 / 「分校長が使っていた黄金のシュピーゲル……！」

The localization swaps "used" or "piloted"/"使っていた" for "mentioned." Rean could've said: [That's the golden Spiegel the principal used/piloted!]

• 31:「And so, Aurelia finished training the members of Class VIII...」 / 「──こうしてオーレリアはⅧ組メンバーにも（優しく）稽古を付け……」

The localization omits the joke. The narration could've said: [And so, Aurelia finished (gently) training the members of Class VIII...]

• 32:「Do they really need to have the conference during the Summer Festival...?」 / 「……夏至祭の時期……領邦会議もあるんですよね……」

The localization chose to phrase this as there's supposed to be reservation against these events being held at the same time. That wasn't particularly present originally. Tatiana could've said: [The Summer Festival is going to be held at the same time as Pronvicial Council...]; or: [I hear that the Provincial Council will be held together with the Summer Festival...]

• 33:「From what I heard, Olivier liked to play his lute under it.」 / 「ちなみに、その大橋の下で オリビエさんがリュートの弾き語りを披露したことがあるらしいんです。」

The localization puts this as if it's a 'known regular hobby'. Tita could've said: [From what I heard, Olivier played his lute under it *once.]

• 34:「It reminds me of the fleet. I feel like I'm home.」 / 「まるで船団に戻って来た みたいというか……これだけで里心がついちまうよ。」

「I hope our boss is doing well.」 / 「それにしても──女将さん、元気だといいんだが。」
The localization creates an awkward confusion for these lines. What would be expected is that "boss" would be the fleet's boss, but it's actually talking about the owner of the sailor bar, Miranda, by using "owner" or "landlady"/"女将さん." Leonora could've said: [I hope Miranda/the owner is doing well.]

• 35「Well, thanks to my mom's job, I know all about the nightlife in Raquel. Lemme know if you need any recommendations.」 / 「ま、お袋の職場だったのもあるし、夜のラクウェルなら任せろや。」

「I think it'll be an eye-opening experience for everyone, yeah?」 / 「坊ちゃんやらジャジャ馬にだっていい社会勉強になるんじゃねえか？」
「Though I might consider doing something after we're done with the field exercises.」 / 「せめて演習が終わった最終日なら引率込みで考えなくもないが。」
「Huh...? Well, aren't you a stingy one?」 / 「ハァ……？チッ、ケチくせえ野郎だな。」
The point of the line doesn't really come across that well in the localization. It sounds like the punchline to responding to Ash's proposal to allow Class VII to go out in the nightlife of Raquel is that "I'll consider doing that by myself." That couldn't be more wrong. Rena could've said: [Though I might consider chaperoning you guys after we're done with the field exercises.]

• 36:「The former Duke Cayenne is still under arrest and no replacement has been named.」 / 「現カイエン公は逮捕されたままで地方統括者は不在ですよね。」

Literally mistranslates "current"/"現." Altina could've said: [The current Duke Cayenne is still under arrest and no replacement has been named.]

• 37:「Hmph, you talk a lot for a doll. Must have a really long string in the back.」 / 「ハッ、よく喋る人形だぜ。」

Ash's line originally ends at the first clause.

• 38:「I hear there are some snipers who chose the Hector... but I suppose it all comes down to feeling.」 / 「正規軍の中にはヘクトルを選ぶ狙撃手もいるそうですが……まあ、要は相性ですね。」

The localization omits tthe fact that the snipers are from the army. Maya could've said: [I hear there are some snipers in the Imperial Army who chose the Hector... but I suppose it all comes down to feeling.]

• 39:「We need to focus on getting to Ordis.」 / 「この先はラクウェル方面──まずはオルディスの依頼に集中しよう。」

The localization removes the previous remark. Rean could've said: [This way leads to Raquel--We need to focus on getting to Ordis.]

• 40:「Damn. So that monster used to cozy up in there with fifty-thousand soldiers.」 / 「クク、あんな場所にあの化物が５万の兵と立て籠もったワケだ。」

The choice of "used" makes the sentence read as a characteristic beyond the single event the Japanese refers to. Ash could've said: [Damn. So that monster locked herself/cozied up in there with fifty-thousand soldiers.]

• 41:「During the war, the Imperial Army was at a loss after multiple failed attempts to infiltrate.」 / 「当時、帝国正規軍も攻めあぐねて頭を抱えたそうです。」

「It's fully equipped with multiple Panzer Soldats, large-class airships, and enough supplies and anti-aircraft cannons to last three years.」/ 「多数の機甲兵に大型飛行艇、３年は継戦できるだけの物資、対空砲も完備していましたから。」
In the context of "the Noble Alliance forces, after the civil war ended, barricaded themselves in Juno Naval Fortress," the localization wrongly chooses to put it as "during the war." Much the same, the second line is supposed to be talking about that single past event. Altina could've said: [It was equipped with multiple Panzer Soldats, large-class airships, and enough supplies amd anti-aircraft cannons to last three years.]

• 42:「(And thus a deal was struck that shifted the Northern War.)」 / 「（そんな事態を打開するために北方戦役の話が持ち上がった……）」

The localization translated this line very wrongly. The situation being "shifted" isn't the Northern War. Rean could've said: [To resolve that situation (Aurelia's barricade in Juno), the deal to set out for the Northern War was struck.]

• 44:「I don't see any Goliath Soldats. Do you?」 / 「ああ、そういや主力戦車だの噂の巨人機(ゴライアス)だのは見当たらねぇな？」

The localization omits the mention of the Main Battle Tanks. Ash could've said: [I don't see any Main Battle Tanks/MBTs/Achtzenhs or Goliath Soldats. Do you?]

• 46:「But over the past six months, we've seen some suspicious activity from both jaeger corps.」 / 「だがここ半年、帝国各地で不可解な動きをしていた各猟兵団が半月くらい前から鳴りを潜めていてな。」

「Activity that's led us to believe they're planning something for the Imperial Provincial Council in Lamare.」 / 「ール州で開かれる領邦会議に合わ・せるように。」
「Over the past six months, there haven't been any confirmed reports of jaeger corps activity within the Empire.」 / 「──ここ半月、帝国各地で 活動していた複数の猟兵団の動きが確認できなくなっている模様。」
By virtue of omitting information, the localization causes this line to have the wrong information. In the first line. Wallace could've said: [But over the past half a month/two weeks, we've not seen activity from the multiple jaeger corps which, until then, had been moving suspiciously in the Empire starting six months ago.] Consequentially, it's the lack of movement so close to the Provincial Council that makes them wary. The third line straight up mistranslated "half a month"/"半月." Wallace could've said: [Over the past half a month/two weeks, there haven't been any confirmed reports of jaeger corps activity within the Empire.]

• 47:「Ordis has been holding the Imperial Provincial Council since yesterday. Immediately after that's done is the Summer Festival.」 / 「オルディスは明日より領邦会議、そして《夏至祭》という状況です。」

The localization outright mistranslates "tomorrow"/"明日." The Provincial Army Soldier could've said: [Ordis will hold the Imperial Provincial Council starting tomorrow. Immediately after that's done is the Summer Festival.]

• 49:「Looking at this view, I can see why Ordis is so famous.」 / 「さすがは《紺碧の海都》と称えられるだけはある街だな。」

「The Port City, Ordis.」 / 「《紺碧の海都》オルディスへ。」
The localization refuses to establish a term for this other name that Rean and Musse call Ordis. Given some uses of the Japanese term, it could be "Saphirl Port City"; given the name of a food item in the city, perhaps "Aquamarine Port City"; even if not the same kanji, maybe "Azure Port City." As long as it's not entirely omitted from the game.

• 50:「Yeah, but once we're done sightseein', we've got a monster to kill.」 / 「そんで一通り回ったら南の浜辺で手配された魔獣をブチ倒すわけか。」

The localization omits mentioning the location of the monster. Ash could've said: [Yeah, but once we're done sightseein', we've got a monster to kill on the beach to the south/southern beach/beach south of the city.]

• 51:「I hope Luna isn't too bored.」 / 「はっはっは、ルナたちが退屈していなければいいのだが。」

The localization singles out Luna. Lord Quinn could've said: [I hope Luna and Eclair aren't too bored.]

• 52:「You're in luck. With the Summer Festival going on, the town is really buzzing with activity.」 / 「夏至祭も近いので商業区は賑わっているようです。」

The localization messes up the timeframe a little. The Provincial Army Soldier could've said: [You're in luck. With the Summer Festival happening soon, the town is really buzzing with activity.]

• 53:「My husband doesn't like things that come from the capital.」 / 「うちは旦那様が帝都資本嫌いなんです。」

Just like in Chapter 2, a maid is made to call her "master"/"lord" her husband by virtue of the fact that the Japanese term can be used for both. Pamela could've said: [My Master/Lord doesn't like things that come from the capital.]

• 54:「In addition to the taverns, there's an orbment store, and a glass workshop that is popular with the duke households.」 / 「宿酒場の他に、導力器なども扱う、公爵家御用達の硝子工房などもあります。」

It's not meant to be "households "in plural; the context here is that the glass workshop is used by the Cayenne estate. Musse could've said: [In addition to the taverns, there's an orbment store, and a glass workshop that is popular with the duke household/Cayenne/duke's estate*.]

• 55:「Guess what! My big brother is coming back tomorrow!」 /「あのね！ 今日兄ちゃんが帰ってくるんだ～っ！」

「My big brother is coming back tomorrow!」 / 「今日は兄ちゃんが帰ってくるんだよ！」
Straight up mistranslating "today"/"今日" in the localization. Luka could've said: [Guess what! My big brother is coming back today!]; And: [My big brother is coming back today!]

• 56:「Gramps is the ultimate craftsman. He even received the Golden Emblem.」 / 「じいちゃんは陛下から《黄綬勲章》を賜った最高の職人ですからね。」

The localization omits the line also havimg mention of the fact that the emperor is the award giver. Luther could've said: [Gramps is the ultimate craftsman. He even received the Golden Emblem from His Majesty himself.]

• 57:「Though, all I do nowadays is drink here!」 / 「ま、今はこの店くらいにしか卸しておらんがなぁ！」

「We get all our seafood from Rossel.」 / 「ちなみに魚介はそこのロッセルさんが卸してくれるんだ。」
The localization got this line wrong. It's not about drinking a lot, even the owner of the inn says the same, "卸して." Just as mentioned in the second line, by the tavern owner, Edmond. Old Man Rossel should've said: [Though, all I do nowadays is sell my catches here!]

• 57:「I need to make sure it doesn't compromise the beauty of this.」 / 「《輝き号》の魅力を損ねないよう、極力目立たないようにしたいけど……」

The localization chose to have the guy who's emamored with his new boat, and gave it it's own name, ultimately call it a "this." The Cheerful Man could've said: [I need to make sure it doesn't compromise Radiance's beauty.]

• 58:「I had to rid myself of some of the merchant ships my grandfather passed down to me! Aside from that little head start, I'm a self-made man!」 / 「祖父の代からの商船すらただ同然で手放すことになるなど……！」

The original isn't really about being or not being "self-made." Lord Beckford could've said: [I had to rid myself of some of the merchant ships my grandfather passed down to me as if they were worthless!]

• 59:「I mean, will all four of the Great Houses even participate? This truly is mindboggling.」 / 「そもそも四大の足並みすら揃うかどうか。……やれやれ、悩ませてくれる。」

The localization makes up the logic that the count would somehow still be in doubt of the participation of Great Houses with one day to go. Count Florald should've said: [I mean, will all four of the Great Houses' thoughts even be in alignment? This truly is mindboggling.]

• 60:「So this is a jade shell...It'd make for quite the accessory.」 / 「これがヒスイ貝か……確かに飾りに相応しいな。」

The whole point of the quest is to make "decorations"/"飾り" for the Summer Festival, and the localization decides it should be "accessory." Kurt should've said: [So this is a jade shell...It'd make for quite the decorarion.]

• 61:「We've lost enough men for one day.」 / 「ここで戦力を減らす意味など皆無だからな。」

The original doesn't make it sound like the Purple Jaegers already lost men against Rean and Class VII. The Purple Jaeger should've said: [There's no point in us losing our forces here today.]

• 62:「It's vital that we confirm if there are jaeger corps roaming the area.」 / 「この地で猟兵団が動いているのを実際に捉えたのは大きいだろう。」

The localization mistranslated this line and also makes it sound silly. None of the characters put any doubt that there are jaegers around or that the Purple Jaegers are jaegers; needing to confirm that just comes across as awkward. Patrick should've said: [It would have been great if we had actually captured those jaegers roaming the area.]

• 62:「This is a travesty! Does Marquis Ballad truly intend to reform the government like this?!」 / 「……信じられるか！？バラッド侯はまだ政府の改革案を受け入れるつもりらしいぞ。」

The original is about "accepting the government's reform plan"/"政府の改革案を受け入れる. Lord Beckford should've said: [This is a travesty! Does Marquis Ballad truly intend to accept the reforms of the government like this?!]

• 63:「We'll both be in town while the council is underway.」 / 「毎年領邦会議の時期は二人とも同じ街にいるんです。」

The original is about the lovers being in Ordis "every year"/"毎年" during the Provincial Council. Hearhcliff could've said: [We both come to town every year while the council is underway.]

• 64:「The next Duke Cayenne is about to be decided.」 / 「そろそろ現カイエン公にも判決が出される頃だよなぁ。」

The localizations not only mistranslate "current"/"現" but also "sentenced"/"判決が出される." Reins should've said: [The current Duke Cayenne is about to be sentenced.]

• 65:「Our hotel offers a taxi service.」 / 「当ホテルではラクウェルヘの送迎サービスも行っております。」

「You can enjoy the night life without worrying about the time.」 / 「鉄道のお時間を気にせず歓楽街を楽しむ事ができますよ。」
The first localized line gives the wrong idea. That would cause the second line to likely be interpreted as "Ordis' night life" when it's actually about in "Raquel"/"ラクウェル". Receptionis Harold should've said: [Our hotel offers a taxi service jto and from Raquel*.]

• 66:「Juna, see you later.」 / 「ユウナちゃんたち、お疲れ様ー。」

The localization singles out Juna, when it's her and Class VII. Louise could've said: [Juna and everyone/Everyone/Class VII, see you later.]

• 67:「Haha. Well, the three girls were so cute that I nearly--ahem, excuse me.」 / 「フフ、女の子たち３人が可愛すぎて思わず鼻血が──おっと、失敬。」

The localization leaves to the imagination, for better or for worse to some, that she got a "nosebleed"/"鼻血." Angelica could've said: [Haha. Well, the three girls were so cute that I got a nosebleed--ahem, excuse me.]

• 68:「There was a shooting near a school the other day...」 / 「この前なんて町のすぐ近くで撃ち合いがあって。」

The localization mistranslated "町" as "school," which doesn't have anything to do with it. Sister Olfa should've said: [There was a shooting near the city the other day...]

So in 1850s the island of Zanzibar became independent from the sultanate of Oman, Now British Empire got worried that German empire will try to steal the island, this is why Britain just casually declared Zanzibar it, Zanzibar was was okay with it until Britain also abolished slavery, now Zanzibar was pretty angry, so these two nations went to war. Britain sent 5 boats to attacked zanzibar and after 38 minutes of war Zanzibar king escaped and Britain won the war

I thought it would be a fun idea to write out my headcanons for the other, unmentioned settlements/cities in the New California Republic. As a SoCal native, I thought it would also be fun seeing how some notable cities in the region would look in the fallout universe. I’ve only included places in Southern California because I honestly don’t have too much detailed knowledge about central/northern CA cities.
I tried fitting it in with the lore at the time of New Vegas in 2281, but there might be a few mistakes here and there.

San Diego Area

-Camp Pendleton: Controlled by one of the largest Raider groups of SoCal, cutting off entry to the San Diego area from the 5 Freeway. Uses restored Vertiberds, Power Armor, and APCs left over by the Marines after the war. Because of this, they are an extremely valuable target for the Brotherhood of Steel, though they have not launched a full-scale attack due to fears of high casualties. This, along with manpower shortages in the region due to the the situation in the Mojave, has prevented the NCR from conducting operations as well. Many in the San Diego area have discussed creating a temporary alliance between Settlers/NCR, the BOS, and the Temecula Super Mutants, though the feasibility of that seems a bit low.
-Escondido: Settlement located along the former 15 freeway and acts as a trade settlement on the way to San Diego. Population: 400. Facing raider attacks from nearby Camp Pendleton and feeling like they’ve been failed by the NCR, some local leaders have considered asking the Temecula Super Mutants to assist in a joint assault on the camp. Population: 500.
-San Diego: Though one of the founding states of the New California Republic, San Diego, now known as Dayglow, is severely underfunded and underdefended compared to other States. Some say this is because of its distance from the capital, others says its because of continued discriminiation towards Ghouls and Super Mutants who helped found the settlement. Despite this, it still operates as a thriving scrap hub and exports many of the materials used by NCR soldiers, vehicles, and machinery. Many smaller settlements still exist in areas farther from downtown, the most major of which include El Cajon, Chula Vista, and Miramar. The latter is the main NCR facility in the area, and has been requesting additional support from Shady Sands to help defeat the Camp Pendleton Raiders. Though having the threat of Raiders in the northwest as well as threats of increased radiation exposure from the Glow in the northeast, many of these settlements are some of the most advanced in the NCR due to the pre-war governance and technology maintained by the descendants of Vault 72. Located near Balboa Park, Vault 72 is the only known vault in the area. Though initially an experiment vault, like Vault 81 in the Commonwealth, its operations were cut short, in this case after a mutiny against the scientists and Overseer by the inhabitants, many of whom were Ex-military due to the Vault’s close distance to the San Diego Navy Yards. For the next century and a half, Vault 72 acted as a control vault. Eventually, its systems started to fail, and many of its inhabitants exited the vault in search of new settlements, bringing the technology and infrastructure found in the vaults with them. As the New California Republic expands, there have been rumors among NCR soldiers about restoring some of the abandoned Navy ships in the former San Diego harbor, though nothing has been completely confirmed. The Brotherhood of Steel also seeks to acquire former military technology in the area, but has been unable to do so.

Inland Empire

-Riverside: Home to “Rubidoux,” a mid-sized NCR town with a population of about 1,000. Located on the base of Mt. Rubidoux. The Mission Inn, located in the former downtown, is now utilized as an NCR armory and base. Possible plans to rebuild more of downtown have been discussed by local leaders, but not implemented. Vault 54 is located near Rubidoux on the base of Box Springs Mountain. It is a rare control vault with around 800 living citizens, and has been frequently trading with the nearby Rubidoux settlement since its opening in around 2245.
-San Bernardino: Took the most nuclear strikes out of all cities in SoCal’s Inland Empire during the Great War. Due to this, Feral Ghoul encounters are common in the area, though their population has been dwindling in recent years due to Rubidoux settlers and NCR forces slowly clearing up the area, mainly to help caravans from the area safely travel the 215 freeway to reach high desert settlements.
-Temecula: Reclaimed by former Master Super Mutants into a small settlement, population of 50. Do not mind caravans using the former 15 freeway that goes through the city to reach the San Diego area.
-Hemet: Thriving farm town. Decently isolated from the SoCal sprawl, Hemet is relatively sleepy and peaceful. Supplies a decent amount of crops to the IE region. Nothing really interesting about it besides that. Population: 300.

Desert Regions

-Idyllwild: Used as a training ground for NCR soldiers due to its isolation in the mountains.
-Palm Springs: Run by the remnants of the Agua-Caliente, Cabazon, and Morongo Native American Tribes. Due to its strategic prominence, being south of the Mojave and west of Arizona, as well as its proximity to the Idyllwild training grounds and routes to Shady Sands, it has become popular with many NCR higher-ups, many of whom own second homes in the town. Population: 1,000. Vault 93: Located in the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains. Experimental vault studying the effects of celebrity influence. A dozen celebrities were selected among the 900 civilians who entered the vault, where factions aligning with each of them divided up the leadership inside. No holotapes have been found showing what happened next, though it is to assume that whatever played out led to Vault 93 being opened and vacated. Though considered by the NCR to be repurposed, it sits abandoned, now silently overlooking the Sonoran wastes.

Orange County

-Huntington Beach: Inhabited by the descendants of the Children of the Cathedral, who founded a settlement in what was Huntington Beach after the destruction of the Cathedral in Long Beach and the end of the Unity project in 2162. Though they tend to keep to themselves, there are still some devout Unity believers who kidnap caravans travelling along the former 405 freeway in order to adopt them into the cult and keep the population afloat (They don’t have any FEV to make Super Mutants). Population: 100.
-Irvine: Largely an NCR base centered around the former John Wayne Airport, though there are a decent amount of civilians who have set up shop to cater to the large soldier population. The 452nd Battalion is stationed at the airport, though their numbers have dwindled due to transfers to the Mojave. This has made them unable to respond to the Camp Pendleton Raiders. Population (including soldiers): 2,000.
-San Clemente: A “Ghoul only” settlement ran by wealthy pre-war Ghouls who maintain the area. Despite the exclusivity, it has maintained a population of over 1,000 mainly by bringing in other Ghouls from Orange County and the surrounding area. Mainly keeps to themselves though they accept caravans for trade, though less have been showing up due to the threat of the Camp Pendelton Raiders.

Hey folks,
I will be visiting NYC for 4 days. We are 3 dudes in our mid 20s and will be landing in LGA around 1:30pm on Saturday and will be flying back on Wednesday from EWR around 2:30pm. We sat together and planned the draft itinerary but considering that we have only have few days and my buddies added as much as they can to fit into this itinerary, but I am pretty sure we won't be able to cover everything in this itinerary. So, I am here to ask you guys to help me amend this to make it more practical, and which places are worth visiting and which can be skipped. We are coming from Western Canada. Few things about us:

• We are not into very fine dining and we will be just exploring and eating at local shops that we find along the way. We have some go to places that we don't get in Western Canada i.e. Chipotle, Chick-fil-a, Blue Bottle Coffee etc., so we have plenty of options for food already.
• We're not into Broadway show and jazz music, so we'll be skipping those as well.
• We will be using Public Transit/Subway to get around.
• We will be staying in a hotel around Times Square.

I know I may get destroyed, and that's fair, but I am just super frustrated these days. I have owned 6+ boats over the years and I feel like when I look back over that time, I have more memories of trouble/problems then I do of great days at the sandbar or personal best catches. Most of that is my fault, buying used boats with older 2 stroke motors that always seemed to be temperamental . My current boat is a 21' kencraft paired with a e-tech 250. I bought the motor used from a dealer with less than 200 hours on the clock. I have put maybe 50 hours on it, and this weekend it failed me. On the way to Mother's Day lunch reservations, it died with my family on board. I'm fairly certain the drive shaft snapped as it starts and runs fine, but prop is stuck and won't turn in gear. This was supposed to be the reliable motor. The one I used for years without major problems so that my family had great boat day memories and not memories of waiting on Sea Tow. I know bring on another thousand, but unfortunately I can't afford a brand new Yamaha 250. Should I expect to have so many issues? Should owning a boat always be this stressful? Am I just a whiny boat owner? Can anyone relate ?

Batman roles
The new generation of Rouges: Arkham City had been left to its own devices and once the initial war over, land disputes resolved and loyalties solidified all had settled. Years had passed and the walls between Gotham and Arkham had grown thin but even the worst of the worst had grown more tame in their old age, Joker was no different. Settled into being an arms dealer and book maker watching over his kingdom comfortably, he in time had married Harley, they had two children Johanna, 23 and Jack 18. Their daughter was the carbon copy of her father with the beauty of her mother, she stood as the figure front to the Joker's empire while their son was a successful MMA fighter, making his money in underground fights. Tonight was one of the biggest fight nights of the year. Everyone who's anyone was in attendance and it was a good place to meet. But rumors spread in Arkham, people didn't say quiet for long and people once alias now enemies. The rumor going round at the moment was Joker was fixing all the fights involving his son. The skinny runt of a boy was fast, skilled and deceptively strong meaning all his fights were won on his abilities alone. Johanna finds herself on high alert as she mingles with the "Comon folk" on the floor as Joker sat in a VIP box watching over the fight.
I'm looking for someone to play again my OC Johanna Quinzel, you can play as an OC that is an old friend, business partner, enemy or stranger. Your character can be completely your own just preferable the child/Relative of an OG Batman characteVillain
The clown and the billionaire
Gotham was a sad and dirty place, the criminal's run the streets living in fear not of the GCPD but of the Batman. Arkham City had fallen, a cesspit of crime and corruption led to the demise of the City leaving Arkham Asylum the last front against the worst of the worst. The joker had been quite too quiet for a long time, then his usual a huge big heist, bombs, batman and arrests. The clown Prince himself disappeared into the night but they got the next best thing, his princess.
In the transport van it was noted Harley was exceptionally compliant with guards, the biggest red flag if there was one, then when the scuffle at the processing desk and the young new recruite panicked and floored the clown princess her screams of "I'm pregnant, stop, please, I'm pregnant". Echoed through the halls of Arkham.
With the meeting called the next day, with officials and doctors and the health board. Arkham wanted nothing to do with her, blackgate couldn't accommodate her, they couldn't release her to the public. Arkham agreed to keep her if the child was terminated, until Arkham's biggest benefactor stepped in and offered to care for the woman, give her a home, food, medical care and supervision.
That was a few weeks ago and there was an uneasy alliance between Bruce Wayne and Harley Quinn, she knew if she had any chance of keeping her child it was with Bruce Wayne. Could the pair become friends? Or will the clown princess return to her master? With Harley living in Wayne manner and Alfred lining up a job for her at Wayne tech the roumour Mill tabloids were losing their minds.
Thank you for reading this far. I'm looking for someone to play as Bruce Wayne/Batman All partners must be 18+

Kawasaki site shows several dealers in my area have the Kawasaki Ninja 500 SE ABS (Red/Black/Grey) in stock...however...none of them truly have stock. I put a deposit down last week on one for my wife and hoping there isn't some known delay in shipping this model. My dealer shows they still have 2 allocations from April which haven't been delivered. I am first in line once one arrives. Would hate to wait more than a few weeks.
Anyone know if there are any known shipping delays for this model, or why Kawasaki would've dropped the ball on getting bikes for April?
Really hoping they are either at customs, on a boat already, or on a transit truck within the US already.

Have a 2004 model boat with BayStar power steering on it that has leaked almost all its fluid over the winter. Dealer here says they can’t get parts for it. Anyone have a source for BayStar parts? Model # HC4600.

Hey! Couldn’t find anything myself but a thing has been bothering me for a while. I have applied under inland common law sponsorship, created Trackers for both myself and sponsor as well as linked the application to my GCKey. The weird thing is I noticed that on the sponsor’s Tracker it says “Method to contact you: Online”. It was definitely “Email” just after the AOR (as no gckey was linked). I don’t remember exactly when it changed unfortunately. Mine also says “Online” and I get messages through my GCKey which makes sense but how will the sponsor get anything?
As far as I read I can’t link an application to his GCKey because it can only be linked to one. My tracker says that Eligibility is completed but GCKey states that it only started (they updated on the same day), his tracker also says Eligibility is done. I know we are supposed to receive Sponsor Approval letter or AIP somewhere when Eligibility passed but as we know not everyone gets all the letters.
Has anyone been in the same boat by any chance and can provide some clarity?
TL;DR: Sponsor’s Tracker says he will be contacted using “Online” method, it used to be by email, what does it mean and how will he be contacted? Through my GCKey?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for job resources or recommendations for a family member with a felony record in the Inland Empire area. Any leads on companies or organizations that support individuals with criminal backgrounds would be highly appreciated
Thx
