Over over

Maybe some of you heard about it already, and it might be useful for some of the old who had VLDR during 2020
So, the deal was that back then Velodyne issued a press release stating that its founder and CMO were under investigation and removed after it turned out that they "lacked respect, honesty and integrity" with the directors and other main faces.
After all these troubles, their stock drops due to it, and investors filed a lawsuit against them. Velodyne decided to pay a preliminary $27.5M settlement for this case. So if you were damaged somehow, you can file for it here or through the settlement administrator. Hope it'll help!

Throwaway. Title says it all. I don't really have anyone in my life to share this with as the follow up question will probably be "what's the reason?" And I don't want to deal with answering. But I got arrested May 29th 2023 and haven't had a drink since. It's been challenging at times, but I think it's for the best.
Noticeable changes I've experience:
My focus can be maintained for much longer.
I have a lot more patience and very rarely get angry at anything.
I can't leave tasks for another time. When I would get stressed about things I would have a drink and be able to put them off. But now that I'm not drinking if I don't handle whatever is stressing me out it just....lingers and gets worse. So thats been annoying ngl, but any issue I've had in my life is almost immediately fixed/handled.
I've realized that I like to combine drugs. Anytime I drank I needed to smoke weed or nicotine. Now that I don't drink, nicotine and weed just don't hit the same, and I'm 3 weeks off nicotine and about a month off weed. Saving a lot of money already.
I never thought I'd get over the guilt and shame of getting a dui, and still get some pangs of cringe when I think about that night. Having this upcoming anniversary of sobriety is helping me a lot with self forgiveness and those negative feelings. Kind of silly, but the proof I could do it has given me a lot of the confidence and self esteem back that I lost when I got my dui.
Anyway, figured I'd share. Hope yall are doing well and sending nothing but love.

Hi everyone, me and my friends have been working hard for nearly half a year to bring Glato AI to life, and it's time to let it out into the wild and see what y'all think!
The story behind Glato AI is very personal:
❌ I REALLY struggled with video content creation for my last product, AI Anywhere.
It's either super time-consuming or very expensive to hire video creators.
Since I'm a bootstrapped founder, I had to DIY my videos🤦‍♀️
Over time, I found that this was not sustainable. That's when the idea for Glato AI struck! What if we could use AI to automate the whole video creation process?
With Glato AI, I hope to free up a ton of time for business owners and marketers like myself. I wish I had this years ago.
Here's how Glato AI works:
✅ Generate video scripts with our AI model trained on winning ads and viral trends
✅ Use digital clones of real creators to make engaging UGC-styled ads
✅ Automatically add b-roll, captions, and visual effects
✅ All you need to input is your product link - so simple🤘
In my opinion, this is way better than traditional video creation methods:
1️⃣ No need to hire creators or spend time creating content manually
2️⃣ Expressive, trendy videos that resonate with your audience
3️⃣ Now you can create personalized videos at scale and A/B test them for optimal performance
I seriously hope Glato AI hits the spot for other busy founders and marketers. It's already been a game-changer for me :)

How do I bypass an FRP lock on my S7? I have looked all over the internet and can’t find anything that works. I think I’m on android 8. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I want to to express my gratitude at the things my new doctor told me during our appointment a few days ago. and to maybe bring some positivity to this sub, especially after how painfully upset I was in my last post and how much you guys struggle as much as me with feeling dismissed, invalidated, etc.
bascially, I told the doctor the symptoms I've been putting up with and have as of late and have been for years now, like since age 11. first green flag was him asking if I was okay, if I feel anxious and if I struggle with anxiety and depression and IMMEDIATELY telling me afterwards "btw, this doesn't mean that the pain is all in your head. that's not a real thing. the mind and body are definitely connected and the mental can affect physicial and the reverse, but that doesnt take away the validity of the real physical pain you are experiencing. of course the pain is "in your head" you wouldn't know pain is there unless your brain tells you duh"
then he told me "to be honest, I don't think that what you're struggling with will show up on these tests. I've see lots of cases like this before and you've been sporadically visiting our clinic over the past several years for different symptoms and problems when what you need is a consistent physician to track your symptoms over time and help you treeat them". he told me that he thinks I may have fibriomyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome (because of widespreas pain across different body systems) and despite expecting all the labs he ordered for me to come up negative, he's giving them to me just to rule anything out, like my past vitamin d issue. and he told the over and over again that just because the tests come back negative doesn't mean nothing is wrong with me. he said it like 5 times looking me straight in the eyes all serious like he knew that I and all the chronically ill folks out there needed to hear that. I did. we do 💗
he went on about how so many doctors, especially male doctors are arrogant (which is why he believes women tend to be better doctors) and have this pride issue where they think that just because they have a degree and went to school that they ""know everything"" that if they can't identify what a patient is going through that it means nothing is wrong and that it can't possibly just be them being misinformed!! he said all this considered, I can choose a physician from the clinic to start seeing on a regular basis now that I'm 18 and understands if I wanna be referred to or choose to see a woman. but I was like "no, I want YOU to be my doctor" I told him he's the first doctor ever I've seen that acknowledged the presence and possibility of these chronic illnesses, that didn't use mental health to invalidate, but to educate, and that actually just listened. then I gave him a hug and started tearing up a little bit like the cry baby I am lolll
I'm seeing him again next tuesday to see if I'm having any improvements and he put me on a medication for nerve pain (gabapentin). so far it's not working the best and I'm still in alot of pain. I'm not expecting the ride through whatever I have to be easy and seamless but damn am I happy to have found someone that at least seems willing to give me a chance, fully hear me out and bear witness to my situation. especially at my young age. 7 years is alot to have chronic pain like this, but I feel luckier than most people. I know it's hard, but please keep fighting guys, at least keep posting on here and sharing your stories, no matter how ugly. maybe I'm the last person to try to be positive, but I care alot, the people in this sub care, there are doctors out here who can and do care

Ever since my son started puberty, it seems like he is constantly telling white lies. There never earth shattering, but it’s not trait I’m thrilled he’s developing. Here are some examples:

• brushing his teeth
• eating someone’s left overs
• his homework being done
• making a mark on the table
• when he went to sleep

It’s mostly to avoid doing what he doesn’t want to do, or to get out of trouble
He also exaggerates pretty heavily when he’s happy and telling stories.
We’ve talked to him about the importance of honesty. We’ve grounded, lectured, shown compassion, talked about how it will impact relationships. We’re at the point now where we’re saying “you’re better off not saying anything if it’s just going to be a lie.” And for the second he gets it- until he lies again.
What can we do to help him? Is this just a normal part of adolescence? Does this denote anything for his future?

I reluctantly started babysitting 2 children in my home and I told the mother I was hesitant about starting because I wasn’t sure that I’d have everything I need to take care of them or how good I was with kids since my experience is limited to just my own children
She assured me she would make sure they had what they needed and so far she does make sure the infant has diapers and formula, there’s been days I ran out of baby water and I just boiled or like today she didn’t sent wipes so I had to open a pack of my own that I had for home/travel use.
We talked about her sending food like fruit/bread/snacks because the mother said she would and she has only done that once out of the several months I’ve been doing this I’m feeding the toddler everyday she goes through fruit and snacks like crazy
The payment arrangement hasn’t been what we discussed, she pays me less than we agreed on but I haven’t said anything
In the first day I started, I noticed something abnormal on their skin, told the mom after noticing for a couple days and getting worse and she said she just noticed that after picking them up from my house one day and she took them to the dr and they were given antifungal medicine but I just didn’t like the way she commented on it like it happened after dropping them off. I should have said something the first day but it was small and on the back of the infants neck so I forgot plus it did cross my mind that the mom probably had already known. I think I did mention that I applied a small amount of diaper cream to the area
She only sent a bouncer with the infant and told me that it was fine to keep the newborn in the car seat or the bouncer for sleep and I didn’t approve of that sleeping situation because the risk of asphyxiation so the only thing I had was an old, firm pack n play insert mattress that I lay on the floor and the baby sleeps there with close supervision.
The toddler started off napping on my bed but my bed appears to be too high and the toddler almost fell off one day so I started making a comfy lil pallet in the floor and laying them down there but they won’t nap and will constantly get back up and be fussy until they nap. I took a large blanket and ripped an end at the top and a piece at the bottom and I wrap the toddler up in the blanket and use the little ripped ends to wrap around her again and then to secure this little bundle around them and it keeps them from getting up when I lay them down.
I made a post about this recently and commenters were pretty harsh as I had an odd choice of wording but i see what I’m doing for nap times as my next best available option. I’m on the market for a free pack n play and after commenters fussed at me for how the toddlers nap time arrangements were, I reached out to the mom the next time she dropped off
Which i actually didn’t hear from her over the weekend and didn’t see them the first day of the week when i normally would and i got paranoid but it turned out she just stayed home because the toddler got into their edibles
and I asked would she be willing to help me find a pack n play or buy one so that I don’t have to continue wrapping her toddler in a burrito to keep her from getting out of their sleeping pallet when it’s nap time. I showed her pictures of the baby burrito both awake and asleep to show her that the toddler isn’t fussing about being put into a burrito the entire time. I told her they show signs of discontentment when I first tell them it’s time to go nap and when I get them to lay on the blanket for me to wrap them in. By that I mean, i see them make a disgruntled facial expression and they may grunt about it and whine slightly but once wrapped, the toddler goes right on to sleep. Once the toddler wakes up they can even manage to wriggle out of it
The mother looked at the toddler burrito I invented and laughed and said that she didn’t care if I continue sleeping arrangements that way as long as I’m continuing to monitor them and check periodically for signs of life (breathing) which is completely normal as a mom to check for in any sleeping baby or toddler regardless of sleeping arrangement.
I explained my reasoning to the mom and she was in a rush to go to work so she really brushed it off and said she understands I’m making do with what I have the best I know how. I think that affirmed to me that what I was doing was with good intentions but I told her I would still be trying to get a pack n play because obviously I would prefer their sleeping arrangements to be as safe as possible. She looked at me funny and said in all honesty she has no intention of buying one or picking one up off the curb if she saw one for free because what I’m doing works fine. So I kind of didn’t know what to say but I’m still gonna look for one.

I usually don’t wear colorful clothing. My SO has bought colorful dresses for me before and I wear them when he asks on a special occasion because I know it makes him happy. Those particular dresses aren’t my style / I don’t feel good in them but it was sweet he got them for me and I wanted to make him happy.
For a few months I’ve been considering adding some color to my wardrobe & talked to a few friends about this. Recently, I had an event at work where I was required to wear pink. I bought a dress in that color and actually liked the way I looked in it. This week, I decided I needed some new clothes for work and found a pink (his favorite) dress that I thought he would like & fulfilled my need for a new work outfit.
I showed him when I got it last night and said I was thinking of him when I found it and thought he might like it. He didn’t say much. Today, I put it on for work. He said that he needed to talk to me about my dress. He said he knows I was showing it to him like it would be something he was excited about but that’s not how he sees it. He said he’s asked me to wear pink and even bought pink things for me and what I bought wasn’t for him, it was for my work. I just thanked him for telling me how he felt and changed out of the dress.
How do I explain / is it worth explaining my thought process without coming across as defensive?

I've been in this group so long I can't believe this is my first post, but I'm getting kinda desperate and would love some guidance. This post might not be for everybody in this group, so feel free to ignore if it doesn't relate to you...but if it does please help!
My current J1 is amazing. Midwestern State. Great culture, pretty decent pay, and the flexibility is unreal (like my boss lets me use the "unlimited vacation" to work on extended vacation for almost a month every year!) Unfortunately it's a hybrid role and I have an extremely long commute, but the hours and days worked in the office are flexible.
Recently I was diagnosed with OCD and ADHD. It's taken a long time to come to grips with this reality since I always thought it was something that I could just "get over" by trying myself to control it--but that's no longer feasible so I reached out for help. My husband encouraged me to talk with my HR rep (not yet to my manager) about possibly getting accommodations to WFH full-time. It should be noted that my disabilities are legit...I'm not just trying to find a WFH loophole...but in the back of my head I feel guilty for asking for accommodations in the first place and making myself seem like a 'victim.'
My company's new ceo is pretty adamant about keeping the hybrid schedule, but I think that I might have a decent chance of getting my accommodations approved.
My biggest issue is that I need help filling out the accommodations request form.

1. I want to ask for accommodations to WFH- How to I convey that doing so will assist me in performing the essential functions of my job?
2. How to describe my limitations that make it seem like WFH is the ultimate solution, rather than giving me my own office?
3. When I talked with HR she made it seem like they'd probably do a 6 month trial period basically....max of a year. Does this sound right? Should I ask for permanent WFH if I think it'll most likely be denied? Like my disability will last my entire life, wouldn't it make sense for the accommodations to match? Idk.
4. Other than WFH, are there any other accommodations I should ask for?

This has the opportunity to have a HUGE impact on my quality of life, so any guidance/input you have is greatly appreciated. TIA!

GPT-4o can seamlessly handle text, speech, and visual inputs, making it more versatile than previous models. It offers real-time, human-like responses with the lowest delay being 232ms, simultaneously processing text and audio inputs.
Additionally, GPT-4o is designed to work more efficiently in multiple languages, making it a powerful tool for global users. This upgrade means users get a faster, more integrated experience!
Here’s a little taste of just how fast it is at doing 3 moderately difficult tasks at once:

Although the GIF is sped up 150%, it took GPT-4o only about 13 or so seconds to generate a 4K image of a snowman dancing, a python calculator script, and a Pushkin-like poem in 2 languages — isn’t that insane?

Here’s the gist of the latest features & upgrades GPT-4o presents

1. Multimodal Capability - it can handle text, speech, and visual inputs, allowing for natural & seamless interactions.
2. Real-time Processing - responds as quickly as 232 milliseconds for speech & text output, which is much faster than its predecessor, GPT-4 Turbo.
3. Cost Efficiency - 50% cheaper in API costs compared to GPT-4 Turbo.
4. Global Usability - not only is it 100% free for everyone, but GPT-4o has enhanced language support for over 20 languages!
5. Paid Features Now Free - The GPT Plugin Store is now available to everyone with a ChatGPT account, no need for the Plus subscription anymore (we’ll complain about this later in the post)
6. Mac Desktop App - GPT-4o launched with a Mac Desktop app, with which you can capture meetings, share your screen for an integrated experience & more.

Let’s break down some of the improvements in a little more depth.

In 2024, cold calling and door to door essentially.
I keep seeing people all over saying to go for jobs that are majority if not all inbound, and if you're in one of these roles that's wonderful, but for those of us laid off in the past year or so looking for new work, even the bigger more established companies that would provide at least some low quality leads to follow up with are now expecting reps to source all their own leads.
How do you do this? As someone who has gone down every rabbit hole, networking event, cold calling, door to door, cold email, etc. is that there's no secret or magic cheat code, you have to literally just get your offer in front as many relevant biz owners as possible, nearly impossible in todays market where everyone where wants you to fucking buy something.
Research? Lovely for warm leads and current customers you want to upsell to.
Cold? There's a decent chance your data is inaccurate or outdated so you gotta just brute force get out there and act like a literal human billboard, popup ad, flyer first, you are the outer most ring of the sales funnel, research is just a procrastination tool if you're going cold, save it for warm leads or better yet warm QUALIFIED leads.
Will there be ppl that succeed? Absolutely. But if you're not willing to essentially act as a business owner creating a book of biz from scratch right now, you should probably look into other work.
Part of what all this has taught me is that the glamorization of sales and entrepreneurship is just that, ppl say anyone can do it but if that was true everyone would and be rich and sexy and wonderful, but it simply isn't the case.
Pets.com was an 00's bust while chewy is a tech darling, a lot of it is timing and being in the right place, it's not dependable and your ability to go with the flow will determine how far you go in sales imho, but I'm just some Reddit rando so obvs take this all w a grain of salt

Affordable housing is a thing of the past: About 5 years ago a starter home could be bought around my area for under 30-40k. lol I know, that sounds mad the way the housing market is now, sigh. But I had intended to buy a small home on 1ac for 28k at the time. I did not buy at the time (I was having issues with family that required most of my savings). Hindsight.
Current market: Shortly after, my fiancé and I began saving for a home together. Then Covid and a housing boom happened and now a starter home in this area cost 200-300k. Incredibly low inventory, high competition, a LOT of investors as the state built many factors post Covid. So any cheap home is long gone. There is only inventory in the “unlivable and way over priced burned down meth house”/“very nice and the price double in 2years but that’s life- everyone’s competing and outbidding on these”/“are u a millionaire because you would need to be to upkeep these 500k+ McMansions”. I’m aware this seems amazing to HCOL residents but do recall this is a rural area where the majority of residents live at or around minimum wage: meaning our income even in the 60k range is HIGH here.
Journey so far: We’ve amassed 111k (in 2.5years) on a relatively small budget of roughly 65k by cutting out the fat on most everything and having a lot of lucky breaks (like a car hit my car and that was +7k, bonuses, so on). We are mostly lucky that our older landlords haven’t spiked the rent like many other landlords locally. Many renters had near 1k increases while our rent is still under 650 a month. Low living expenses allow us to save at a rate of 2.5k or more a month. This is a very lucky point for us and we are grateful but it’s become apparent that anyone on an average income, locally, has been priced out of the housing market pretty much overnight.
This is a hard pill to swallow.
The whole goal of saving to hit 100k was to safely put a deposit on a home, and continue to save towards fire. But with the market how it is, running compound interest calculators and rent/buy calculators, it simply doesn’t make any sense to move. This how is perhaps the cheapest home to rent in this town and it allows us a decent savings rate. After making a similar post to seek advise it’s become apart giving up our low rent would be a bad move because it would damage our savings rate more than buying a home would likely increase our net worth.
The plan? Running calculators at our current savings rate we should be at or close to 200k in 2 years (with an ESTIMATED return of 7-10%), at which point we also expect our income to have risen as well. Having seen the horror show that is our local market in the last few years waiting even longer is pretty terrorifing.
I’m aware many ppl in the fire community sacrifice comfort for their savings rate; sometimes for decades. I can respect that, but I wonder how ppl are holding up in this now remarkably inflation affected world. I can’t be the only one who watch the finish line dash further and further away freaking out the whole time…. Other than up our income and stay in an uncomfortable home I’m unsure what else we could do.

Hello, I’m new to the sub because I was just googling this (how normal is it to have the puppy blues before even having the puppy?) and came across this community.
So, context. I currently have an almost-2-year-old adopted Golden Retriever. He came into our lives as a 6-month-old and was basically instantly potty trained, as he did everything his older sister (a Boston Terrier) did at the time. Sadly, my older pup, the Boston Terrier, passed away back at the start of January and her brother has taken it really hard.
That’s why a month ago we started looking for Boston Terrier puppies. I thought I was ready, I felt ready, and we even went to meet the puppy in question and absolutely loved her, she’s a sweetheart. But I haven’t had a full-on puppy in a while. And especially a puppy that’ll have such a small bladder.
What if I’m actually not ready to have a puppy yet? Our Golden Retriever is absolutely lethargic (been checked by the vet but decided against medication because he’s still eating pretty on schedule) and he really thrives when we dog sit our friend’s dogs or any other dog comes over to visit. I know he’ll love the puppy. But what if I don’t? What if I can’t do this? What if it’s too much?
We’re picking our puppy up later today and I have already cried. Is it just guilt over feeling like I’m replacing my pup that passed away? My husband thinks we should take it one step at a time, but I’m only looking 20 steps ahead and I’m so anxious, what if I unconsciously resent this puppy for not being like the pup I lost?

When reviewers mention one spray last long for a day does they mean "Just one spray' or One Spray over all pulse points ?

Or is that Van dirty as hell...she's been vacuuming for over 30 minutes...smh She better sanitize that van.
Why does she keep saying she got a house, when she has a room? She is do delusional 😔

Tried posting pics of what I used, wouldn’t let me. I’ve been trying to get away from all these store bought or online moisturizers bc of some of the crappy ingredients etc. So I made my own. I used organic cocoa butter, organic Shea butter, jojoba oil and aloe Vera gel from the actual plant itself. Just not sure if it’s better to use something water based? Idk I tend to over think these kinds of things, clearly lol. I’ve always moisturized all over, including genitals. I just don’t like the way my skin nor my genital skin feels without moisture. I also like how it feels more and looks etc I know some men so thjs and some don’t. My main question is; would you guys trust this in your genital region? I know it’s kind of a silly question it’s just my ocd wanting reassurance. Literally lol. Also I cut the aloe cleaned it all of that and I food processed it then squeezed out a lot of the plant matter through a cheese cloth. Do you think I would of been better off just buying store bought aloe gel? Or is the real better? I really appreciate any feed back. Thanks In advance. Also the lotion I’ve been using for l like 7-8 years is stony brook botanicals unscented. Once again wouldn’t let me post a picture of it lol. Thanks again!
