Hi,
I’m about to take my girls to Japan and Taiwan this summer. They both have cellular Apple watches that they can use to call/text me at home. I recently learned that their watches won’t work when overseas. (They have the new cellular watches, post 9.1 version.)
Apple website states “International roaming is not supported for cellular models of Apple Watch used in Family Setup.”
but… “With watchOS 9.1 and later, international roaming is available on cellular models of Apple Watch Series 5 and later, Apple Watch SE and later, and Apple Watch Ultra.
To get international roaming on your Apple Watch, contact your iPhone carrier to add your watch to your iPhone cellular roaming plan.“
https://support.apple.com/en-us/119601#:\~:text=With%20watchOS%209.1%20and%20later,your%20iPhone%20cellular%20roaming%20plan.
Has anyone figured out how to get around this? Can I simply wipe their watches, set it up with a new grownup Apple ID as an “Other User” using my phone, then remove them from the Family Setup for it to work independently while abroad? (And toggle the respective toggle through our carrier T-Mobile.)
They are still too young to get their own iPhones, but also the chances they'd lose their iPhones overseas if I did buy it for them is very high. The watches at least stay on their wrists.
Thanks!

MY $11,000.00 DREAM PALACE NIGHTMARE!!!! Part 2
815 N Scottsdale rd Tempe AZ
This establishment is a complete joke !! Reading the values, you could tell that there’s almost no happy customers !
I myself went in there with a few buddy’s about a month ago and we went around 8pm it was such a joke we ware the only guys there .. also there was no stage going on they said they don’t do stage till after midnight!! So we all decided to go back to the vip rooms payed $60 for a room and the girls want at least $500 to do a basic 20 min lap dance only topless mind you at a supposedly fully nude club.. Then only after seven minutes of dancing, another girl comes into the room and offers to join, but you have to give her another $500 they insist that doing this will make you sure an even better experience, but even after being 1000 and $600 into it still I’ve never seen a fully naked woman only titties like a topless bar!! My friends shared the same experience and had paid even more most of them up to $3000 apiece!! During the day no matter what you pay you get the same experience!!
After a week went by and the weekend came me, and my friends decided to go again, but this time when they said there would be stage after midnight!!
We go in Friday around 12:30 PM and it’s $20 at the door just to get in once again. There is no stage going on!!
They tried to pull us into the VIP at first we said no we wanted to hang out on the floor for a while. Maybe get some lap dances. Lap dances were $40 most expensive lap dance in the entire valley of Arizona and it was just a quick topless one no touching air. So what they call a lap dance is actually an Airdance.
After sitting out there for an hour waiting for stage to happen, I finally began couple girls got up on stage and they danced around topless once again there’s no nudity unless you go VIP at least that’s what they said! So we all attempted to go back to VIP once again this time night shift!
So they tried to tie in the room price and the dancers price together. They had like three options 500 so they tried to tie in the room price and the dancers price together. They had like three options 600$-2500$ or 5000$ thinking it can’t possibly be worse than dayshift. It has to be better. I mean their $40 lap dance was essentially what we had gotten during the dayshift the week before and we paid over 1000. So we each agreed to do $3000 each once again after about 7 to 10 minutes of dancing, only topless, barely touching they begin to ask for more money and send in another girl to also ask for her own tip of 5000$ my buddy stopped at 3000 but I decided to go for the four 5000 the most that you can spend there seeing what it can actually do!! Surprise surprise, the girls are still mostly topless the whole time they just decided to take me into a bigger room give me more time give me nonalcoholic beer and try to whip me with a belt I paid for and I got two topless girls to smack me around .. after saying I wasn’t into the whole belt thing and I just wanted nude dancers. They said I’d have to pay even more for them to be completely nude another 5000 each. I said that’s absolutely not happening and then after time I went to discuss with the manager what happened? Mr ( David Kozinski.) He said that there wasn’t anything that he could do and I could take it up with corporate that the girls did their dance and I said no I was promised a full new dance and all I got was a couple of topless. Girls said I was out of line and I couldn’t get a refund. I said I don’t understand why you run a fully nude club. Why don’t you just call the topless club And he got upset and my face honestly, I think this guy is on drugs like hard drugs like crack or cocaine or speed or something because he seemed awfully wired skinny guy older maybe in his late 50s!!
He didn’t have much respect for anybody even the dancers as a dancers came up and tried to apologize for the situation he told him to leave and you go to the back. It just seemed completely unprofessional and rude so I strongly recommend if you’re looking for a good time with your buddies, and you are willing to spend money, any other club in the valley your money would go away further and don’t go to Dream Palace no matter how much you pay or just getting a lap dance topless!!

Ok, so I’ve read a couple of posts on the topic. But here’s the skinny.
Im about to join a party of level 6 players.
In the lore of this world, magic has just returned, and so because of this, the DM has everyone start as either a fighter, rogue, barbarian, or monk. Then at level 3 you can multiclass if you desire magic. Weird choice, but I’m just joining in. He gives us a couple of concessions, all characters get an ASI at level 4 regardless of what you do with your class, and we get to swap one of our saving throw proficiencies to one from the new class if we take one.
Ideallly, I would just play a straight Bladesinger because that’s what I wanna play, what would synergize well before taking Wizard?
Also, there was a group roll for stats. We 18-15-13-13-11-11

Can anyone give me some advice? Or something, Im very deeply depressed, like ultra depressed. I can’t find joy in much of anything, my girlfriend helps a little, and it’s not her fault she’s amazing, but everything seems to be a complete blur and goes fast, nothing I do is enjoyable or fun anymore. I don’t find much fun in going out on the weekends, hanging with friends or any side activity. I literally suck at work, I do my best and try but my coworkers are rough necks and I’ve been bullied and put down so many times, Some try to help me and some just feel bad for me. I don’t have much options at the moment with Jobs, I’m on State Probation for the next 6 years. I don’t have much joy like I did 3 years ago. I barely make money, and i feel like my life is going no where, I dropped out of community college because I never enjoyed it. But in summary it’s just everything is so depressing my head hurts from stress and dealing with people at work, I literally started crying because of the stress but had to hide it. To those who deal with mental issues and depression give me some advice to help some of my issues. It’s getting to the point where I can not take it anymore, my head hurts everyday and every night.

On my sister’s 21st birthday. She came up to me (F/17) and tried to give me a hug. I declined and my mother yelled at me calling me a bitch and trying to force me to hug her.
I am not close to my sister at all. When we were younger she molested me several times and I didn’t realize what was going on out until I was 14 and she was 18. I didn’t tell anyone until my mother called me a bitch in front of everyone. I pulled her aside into her bedroom and explained that my sister did some very messed up things to me and I don’t like being touched by her. My mother apologized and told me she understands. Nothing really happened after that. In my every day life I was cleaning up after my sisters huge messes, cooking food for everyone, and basically just doing everything. All while most of the food I made got throw away by my sister but If I got upset or didn’t make her food I’d still be the bad guy.
Eventually I brought it up to my dad. I honestly thought that he would be my protector but boy was I wrong… he denied that I was molested and said that what she did wasn’t even molest and that there was nothing he could do. He took no action and said nothing to defend me. I even told him that she did gross stuff to herself whenever she shared a bed with anyone. He spit in my face by saying “oh well at least she never shared a bed with me” and laughed it off. He didn’t care at all about me.
I don’t recall what led up to this but I confronted my mom eventually and told her over text the reason the dogs pee on the couch is to cover the scent of my abusive sister because she pisses and poops herself on furniture while wearing diapers. (She openly admitted this to everyone btw and threw away a poopy pissy diaper and also she makes the couch smell horrible) my mom came in screaming at me. I grabbed her by her shirt when she tried to block me from leaving the room and told screamed at her that that stupid bitch molested me. (Which she also denied it being molest when I explained what she did but it was DEFINITELY molest it just wasn’t rape… and apparently it needs to be rape for it to be serious)
My mother then told me if I don’t feel safe here then I can go live with my grandma. I said okay and left a few days later. My mom then talked about me behind my back telling my brother that I’m ungrateful and that I’m selfish for leaving and trying to get attention. I was only there for a few days and returned “home” I came back because I missed my cat and dogs and I knew my cat wouldn’t be getting enough socializing as I’m her mom. I’m still seen as a villian. And to top it off my sister had a friend over who was a total crackhead and I had my mom tell her to go home. She did. The next day the crazy bitch came running towards me aggressively in the road because she thought I was alone. I wasn’t my brother and my friend were behind me and when she saw them she left. My sisters explaination made it more clear she intended to hurt me. I am 5’2 and weigh 95 lbs. I’m extremely skinny and I have long hair. My sister is 5’ and weighs 250 lbs she has short hair. She claims her friend thought I was her.. I was wearing a tank top at the time to top it off...
When she got home I confronted her about this and that was her explanation. So I snapped. I screamed at her calling her a fat fucking pig. She freaked out screaming at me and left. Eventually she came back ready to punch me. My friend who is 6’3 was standing behind me when she put her fist up and she froze realizing shed probably get killed.
..tbh things are much worse now for different reasons but I’m scared to share more yet. I turn 18 on June 12th I might update then or when I move out idk. Maybe even before it depends.

Howdy, just picked up a used anycubic photon ultra (first version from what I can tell), with a wash and cure, for a great price. Person I bought it from was extremely helpful with answers to my many questions, I’m excited to get tinkering to get a print going!
For some context as to why I purchased this, one of my hobbies is leather crafting, typically consisting of handmade EDC goods from bifolds, to cardholders, to watch straps. A 3D printer will allow me to bring prototypes to life, making things like jigs and stamps to emboss/deboss leather.
I primarily want to start with little stamps, anywhere from 1x1 up to 2x3 inch sq.
I’ve already watched a few YouTube videos but I’m wondering if there is any particular channel that I could learn a lot from.
I have a basic understanding, but I still have many questions such as:
Can I pour unused resin from the vat back into the resin bottle?
How many times can I wash/cure a print in the same IPA? Or is it fresh alcohol every print?
How long to wash/cure? How long depending on print size?
I read somewhere that the longer you wash/cure, the more brittle your print will be, is this true?
I heard that the room temp should be on the warmer side, colder temps can cause printing/consistency issues, is there any validity to this?
I’m told the plate has been leveled already, does this need recalibrated if my desk/surface it’s on isn’t level? Or will this plate remain level in relation to the screen?
I think I could go on and on with questions, excited to get tinkering. Trial and error is what I’m used to, but happy for some guidance along the way.
Thanks!

The recipe is a basic Black Manhattan but with Black Walnut Bitters in place of orange and a splash of Heering added.
2oz bourbon (I usually use something at or close to 100 proof) 3/4 oz Averna 1/4 oz Heering Dash Angostura Dash Black Walnut Bitters
I skip the traditional cherry garnish because of the Heering, but if I'm serving to others I'll add one. You can skip the Heering and it won't make or break it, but I'm a fan of the slight extra sweetness and cherry note it adds.
I've tried a ton of different bitters in these, but it's the black walnut that really makes this pop off. It's become my cocktail of choice and I batch it regularly.
Names I've considered play off the "black" part of the name and taking it a step further from not only the black walnut but also the black cherry Heering. Not super clever but it's mostly all I've been able to come up with.
Suggestions would be awesome.
Examples.... Black Hole Manhattan Midnight Manhattan Ebony/Onyx/Jet Black/Obsidian... etc... 9th Plague [of Egypt]

Does anyone know where I get get a cheap digitizescreen for a Samsung s21 ultra. I'm using a broken s21 ultra to run one of my 3D printers and would like to get the screen visible rather than having to hook a laptop up and control it that way each time. I don't need it to be an original part or anything, I just need it to show what's on the phone/have touch screen capabilities. Doesn't even need to be the same size screen if that's an option as I can just 3D print new housing for the phone.

Sorry this is so long but i would appreciate it if you read it.
I'm new here and i dont even know where to start. reddit is the absolute last place i would ever come to say something but i have given up all hope at this point. for context, i'm 15f and have never had any history with mental health issues. it started all fairly recently in like February. i dont even know where to begin. i have many friends and everyone thinks that im so funny but honestly i truly hate myself and this world. i've never told anyone about my problems, not even my parents, but they know i cry a lot. they always ask me whats going on, if its anything at school, if its a guy, or if im getting bullied, but its truly none of that. my problem is that every single day is the same exact thing but while everyone is living it im just simply here existing. i know that i am capable of so much more than this but i feel so trapped in this life where im just supposed to go to school, do my sports and my homework and im not allowed to be just mentally exhausted by the end of it. and yes, i know everyone has this problem and this is just how life works but i honestly i guess im too weak or something and just cant handle it. i feel vulnerable talking about this all so just stay with me. i feel like people think im someone who im really not, and in their defense i dont show anyone the real me. i just act stupid for laughs so naturally everyone thinks im just an idiot. i dont feel smart but at the same time i know i also could be, and honestly wish i was. i dont want my life now to define me and who i am. off topic but i also wish i was prettier. im skinny and got bullied a lot for it but really never cared. ive always never really cared about what people think, and around my friends im an extremely confident person. ive never had a bf but ive also never needed one, and i dont find purpose in dating in my generation, i think im too young and id look for someone who deeply understands me. ive never cared about what a guy has thought of me, or what anyone has for that matter. ive never cared about anything until recently and have been feeling extra numb lately. i know i need purpose in life but im sick of trying to figure out who im truly meant to be and what im "destined" to do. ik, sounds cliche. i just want to be who i am when im alone. recently everything has gotten worse. ive tried so hard to fix it, but ive lost all motivation. i like to learn new stuff, so ive just been doing that. i never liked to read but ive started that lately. ive also eaten healthier and worked out because i thought it would make me feel better. i took a break from all of that lately because im just too tired to do it and have doubts about it fixing anything. i just wish i was perfect and actually happy. ive started to isolate myself from everyone and just stay in my room and cry, watch something, or be alone. many of my friends have asked me to hang out recently and every time i blew them off saying i was busy when really i needed to be alone. i dont want to lose them, they make me laugh and forget about my problems but a lot of the time, especially my closer ones. i really do love some of them, the ones who i can truly be myself around, the ones who dont judge me. ive never confided in them about my problems because i feel too vulnerable, and im also just afraid of pushing them away. i dont want this to define me because its not who i am at all, i just think im just too mentally drained. i would blame everything on my phone but my screen times only a few hours, although i have come to realize i am slightly addicted and rely on it a lot. i guess my main point is: i just feel like lots of things in life are inevitable and i cant truly fix whats going on, even though ive tried. a lot of the time i cry because i know that tomorrow is going to be just like today. im sick of living in this simulation and just want to be happy. lately, ive been losing hope and dont know if i can do it anymore. there are many reasons i dont want to die, but many more reasons i do. i dont even want to kill myself, i just want this period to end. I dont think my life is awful, in fact, i have a really nice life for the most part. i just cant escape the thoughts, and i dont want my "mental health problems" to define me. i want a future. i want to live in a nice house with a nice husband and beautiful kids, but i just know its not going to work. i just have no idea what to do from here.
i dont expect anyone to read this and honestly just came on here to say something. ive come on here to read things and honestly it looks like a lot of people are in the same position as me, a surprising amount.
maybe i just need to wait for summer

I actually kinda like it, but Im curious if you would have to just suddenly lower your weapon in combat after you've been holding it for a certain amount of time. Like, are you just unable to aim at all after 30 seconds of holding a rifle to your shoulder? The mechanic seems a bit overblown atm.
I havent really had much experience with rifles but I have held heavy things. Im a skinny guy and I can hold heavy stuff up for a lot longer than the game lets you aim a gun, and I don't just reach a point where I go from steady to having to put it down entirely. Its more gradual, its gets more and more difficult until I eventually have to drop it, and it takes a few minutes.
I wonder if it might be better to just slowly increase weapon sway over time.
Also, I think there should be an adrenaline mechanic that overrides some of this stuff. I almost died last night cause my guy just refused to aim steady at a target about 50 meters away even though I was being shot at and about to be killed. Is that how it really is, or do you think you find the strength in a situation like that?

Hi all,
Been researching for a week and I need help here to make the final decision please. I sit about 2.5 feet from the monitors, and feel 27 to 28 inch inch is the right sweet spot. Given that, the consensus here seems that 2K is enough and 4K is not needed given the viewing distance. I am based in Canada, so limited to Canadian selection.
Usage: 2 monitors, gaming happens on one (HZD for example). No curve (doesn't work well with two monitors I feel), needs to be left right adjustable. Given one monitor is relatively static with Windows bar at bottom (and same with second when not gaming), I am worried about Burn in and decided against OLED.
20% time is used for gaming, rest is browsing, Nextflix, etc.
Video card: RTX 4080 super
CPU: i7 13th gen (not i17, that would be something else!)
Monitors (right now): 2 x MG28UQ
I have narrowed the selection to the following, though I am open to other suggestions if you feel these aren't the best. Open to up to 1K for gaming monitor especially if I can pay less for second one.

Hey everyone, I want to get back on birth control because of my very heavy, painful cycles. I can bleed through an ultra tampon in only 3-4 hours. My cramps are so bad I cry the whole time. BACKSTORY: I have been on many types of birth control since I was 16. My first one was the Nexplanon implant, which was an awful experience. Somehow it made my cycles longer, heavier, and more painful. I also was on Xulane patches, which I loved. My cycle was so light and manageable. I got off birth control completely for over a year because I wanted to be “natural” with my hormones. Recently, I wanted to get back on Xulane because of how much it helped, but they made it so hard to access. I can only get a different version which was just like the implant in terms of side effects. I am currently not on anything. I have been looking at the Kyleena IUD because supposedly it helps with cycle heaviness. I would like to completely stop my cycle. I want to know everyone’s experiences on Kyleena and I would also like some insight on other versions of IUD. TIA

I quit vaping a little over 60 days ago. I used the patch for 55 of those days, and during that time I did start to eat more. I recently dropped the patch at last and now I'm hungry all the time. I'm packing on weight already. I'm 26, I've always been skinny as hell, and I'm not used to having to care even a little bit about what I eat.
I understand that I'm at the age where that starts to happen whether you're coming off nicotine or not, so you can save the "welcome to getting old" comments. I'm just curious since I'm sure many of you have had a similar experience: What did you do to fill the void after you quit?

After a recent update the app only allows microphone access when the app is in use. If I take a work call and go to look something up, the mic no longer works and the person on the phone can't hear me but I can hear them. S22 Ultra. There are multiple reviews in the google play store mentioning this issue.

i couldn't think of anywhere else to write this, its kind of long
i feel hallow inside. i dont know who tf i am, what do i like, what not. i look into the mirror, not gonna lie, sometimes i like myself but most of the time i stare at myself with disgust. not just mirror, any reflection of myself makes me think how ugly i am. i look at pictures taken of me and i sometimes feel sick, so i have very few. these were supposed to be my best years, im 22. but i feel like im wasting these years being anxious. im not particularly depressed i think, or i am a functioning depressed person. i work, not putting in my best work tho, i dont know what else i can do better, i just wanna do my job, get my paycheck and not add anything else to it. so ofc i cant up my game. tbh i dont know what i wanna be when i grow up :) im studying translation but i dont see a future in translating. do i like it? sure. but i dont see myself be a translator. problem is, i cant see myself be anything. i cant see myself 5 years from now. im not suicidal, never have been but when i think 5 years into the future, all i see is dark. or maybe i will find a job, be a corporate mouse, 9-5. do i want that? maybe. will i be happy? maybe. what else do i want for myself? dunno. i sincerely dont know myself, there is stuff i like for sure, i like cooking, i like gaming (im not good at it tho, i just like to pass time playing) but beyond that, i dont know. feel like my life is a big i dont know. just passing time. time passes very quickly. i dont want to leave college, i dont want to come back home, home makes me depressed, i have my own house where i study, safest place i can be but i cant stay there once i finish school. i dont wanna leave, i dont wanna be an adult. i feel like being scared is stealing life from me. i see someone i like, i think about talking to them but a voice in my head stops me, says that i have nothing to offer, nothing to give. you are not pretty, you are not skinny, you are not smart enough, you wont be a good girlfriend, you are cold. you cant express love in a way people like. also, people i like usually be into some friends of mine. never had a relationship last longer than 3 months before. ofc there is something wrong with me. i attach anxiously. there is something funny tho, my boyfriends always find love after us, in a way i think of myself as a training camp. its funny. to be honest, i like that voice. it soothes me, it tells me the truth. honest and harsh. i sometimes put myself to sleep that way. in a way, she is my best friend. i really like talking to myself in my head. i feel like im a dreamer, but a realist dreamer. so not a very good dreamer. i dont think i am good person. in fact, i dont think i have very good empathy. i feel emotions in my own way, for myself. for others, i just understand how they feel. but i think thats how empathy works. i am sort of a mediator for my friends, whenever they have problems, i usually solve it. by talking. by offering reasonable solutions. im not very good at emotional support. i think i usually use people, im not a very good friend. i cant express gratitude or love properly. i cook for people i love. but i think thats not enough love showing. i feel like my very own life/self is some supporting story to another main person/story. i feel like fillers.

i couldn't think of anywhere else to write this, its kind of long

Wondering if I could get some advice on speeding up/strengthening my slow pitch softball swing.
Have been in the gym 3 years and my swing has never gotten stronger. Still can only manage a 26 oz bat. Played baseball from 4-14 (now 23). Played slow pitch in college for 4 years, now in year 5 in the majors (a social mostly uncompetitive league).
Thank you for any help.

I know this is very unhealthy but I need to lose weight. I, F5’4 and 165lbs have a goal weight of 115. I plan on eating 1000 cals and fasting every weekend for 2 months until my vacation. The only exercise I’m getting is 10k-15k steps. My vacation is 3-4 days so I plan on not tracking cals or anything so my body resets. Then I’ll transition to 1.2k cals when I get back from vacation and continue until I hit 120lbs. Then ofc I know I’ll be skinny fat but I’ll reverse diet 50-100cals every week and use light weightlifting, 10k steps, and proteins until I can lose at 1.5k cals until I hit 113lbs.
I’ll then experiment and see how much I can eat with reverse dieting before I gain weight, finding my maintenance cals and eat at that, continuing to fast at least on Saturday. After, I’ll transition into intuitive eating while monitoring my weight at least once a week to make sure I don’t gain. Does this sound like a solid plan? I’ve lost a lot of weight before during Covid but later gained it back+more so I know that I can lose it again. I know this is a pretty restrictive diet but I’m honestly so sick of being the funny fat friend like I know my bone structure underneath all the fat would make me look so pretty. Like my lw pics from back then haunt me I need to go back.
