2024.05.15 12:10 SloppyWetSocks Finding a path
A little bit about myself: 19 yo, vietnamese, just finished highschool.
I dont really want to go to college because i dont like the education system here and im struggling with making friends because almost everyone (vietnamese that ive met so far) couldnt really relate to me. That is mostly due to the fact that i'd been interacting with/accidentally adopted the western culture since i was a kid so now i dont truly fit in or feel like i belong here.
I'm finding out what i love doing and hopefully make money out of it while working parttime. I'm particularly interested in 3d art right now.
Anyway what i wanted to ask is that is it possible for someone without a degree to have a decent pay job within the tech field in Vietnam?
I know this is not really a good for this kind of question but i have no idea where else to ask. Thank u for reading my stupid 1/4 life crisis post

2024.05.15 11:44 Dense_Ad8057 Confused! Is it good to apply for MBA colleges with 12th Board Improvement Marks in CAT?
Hey Everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well and preparing well for CAT2024.
Let me brief about my profile. I have scored 83.6% in 10th Board and 71.6 % in 12th , due to which I wasn't eligible for admission in Engineering College ( NIT and IIT). So, I took a year drop and gave my 12th improvement exam. I scored 86% in 12th improvement exam. Currently , I have 2.8 years of work ex. In IT.
Can anyone please guide, is it good idea to consider my 12th Improvement marks for future admission process in MBA Colleges (FMS, BLACKI or top 20 colleges)? Or should I put my actual 12th Board marks??
I hope someone in the group can help me out from this.

2024.05.15 11:36 scpZK The Mother Flame and the Diesel Engine - Theory
Hello everyone!
This is my first theory posted here so please take it with a grain of salt.
As my brain is on "break week" mode, I decided to take another look at the mother flame panel where we see the machine with the mother flame inside.
mother flame
We are already assuming from multiple theories on this subreddit that the A&MU can mean Atom because of how we pronounce it in japanese.
However, I haven't seen any theory or info on the S-108, and here is where I decided to investigate and dig a little bit deeper.
This is the part where the theory becomes farfetched, but let's assume the 108 related to a date, in this case, 10th of August (10-8).
I decided to look at important events in this date since Oda also loves his references related to important historical events and I came across this:
"In 1893, Rudolf Diesel's prime model internal combustion engine, a single 10-foot iron cylinder with a flywheel at its base, ran on its own power for the first time in Augsburg, Germany".
This particular event reminded me a lot of Vegapunk's dream of free and unlimited self sustaining energy, especially when reading the "ran on its own power" part, so I decided to dig a little deeper.
When researching Diesel's career, I encountered the following piece of text:
"In early 1890, Diesel moved to Berlin with his wife and children, Rudolf Jr, Heddy, and Eugen, to assume management of Linde's corporate research and development department and to join several other corporate boards there. As he was not allowed to use for his own purposes the patents he developed while an employee of Linde's, he expanded beyond the field of refrigeration. He first worked with steam, his research into thermal efficiency and fuel efficiency leading him to build a steam engine using ammonia vapor."
When reading this, I couldn't help but notice how it seemed very similar to Vegapunk's so called second sin mentioned in the latest chapter where he says that he studied the forbidden era himself despite not being allowed to do so.
Let's now take a look at this passage:
"In 1892, after working on this idea for several years, he considered his theory to be completed. In the same year, Diesel was given the German patent DRP 67207.[10] By summer 1893, Diesel had realised that his initial theory was erroneous, leading him to file another patent application for the corrected theory in 1893.[10]
Can this realization that his theory was wrong and then later corrected mean that there is something else that is still needed in order to properly replicate the eternal flame? Perhaps related to Joyboy/Luffy/Nika.
Now, let's take another look at the machine that holds the mother flame in the panel. We already know that the mother flame was used by something when Lulusia was wiped off the map, and we can assume that it was something in the air, so a flying weapon of sorts.
With this in mind, I decided to research the first diesel engine used in an aircraft and came upon the Packard DR-980. Below, you can see what it looks like.
the diesel engine
Notice how it looks very much like the machine that holds the mother flame?
Now, I'm not sure how everything will turn out in the story if there even is a connection to the diesel engine but let me know what you think.
And if you find anything else related to this please let me know in the comments :) Apologies for any formatting issues

2024.05.15 11:34 Bummblee The Drink - A Barotrauma Tale Pt. 1 (Reupload)
 | This is a reupload of a story I wrote about 3 years ago and never finished - moderately edited to improve on some areas where my writing was lacking back then - unceremoniously titled 'The Drink'. I've been writing it off and on since the original was uploaded, and have finally found a point in life where I can actually write more than a line or two and be confident that it's good enough for literally anyone else besides me to read. submitted by Bummblee to Barotrauma [link] [comments] Reuploading so the few of you who are interested in reading it dont have to dig through three years of post history to find the first part. Please enjoy, I'll be posting new parts semi-regularly as the story progresses. __________ โMan has gone out to explore other worlds and other civilizations without having explored his own labyrinth of dark passages and secret chambers, and without finding what lies behind doorways that he himself has sealed.โ โ Stanisลaw Lem Part One - Step into the DrinkRichard Dorsett eyed the myriad of cargo transfer manifests and crew intake forms with growing trepidation. Every minute spent docked at this waystation was a minute wasted, and he'd spent the better part of the morning mulling over paperwork - the requisition of fresh medical supplies, amenities for the beleaguered crew, and munitions for aging weapon systems all had to be documented and signed off by him as per the Coalition's directives. He rifled through some of the pages haphazardly, signing a release form here or a liability waiver there until his frustration got the better of him and he set the stack aside, to be dealt with later.Dorsett was rather average - average weight, average height with a tempered tone of voice and an unimposing visage. He'd served aboard this vessel, the Ardent Wretch, for some time as its helmsman, only recently taking on the role of its captain. Dorsett leaned back in his chair and keyed his headset before speaking. "๐ฑโ๐ชโ๐ดโ, ๐พโ๐ฆโ' ๐ฉโ๐ดโ๐ณโ๐ชโ ๐พโ๐ชโ๐นโ? ๐ฎโ'๐ฒโ ๐งโ๐ดโ๐บโ๐นโ ๐ทโ๐ชโ๐ฆโ๐ฉ๐พโโ ๐นโ๐ดโ ๐ธโ๐นโ๐ฆโ๐ทโ๐นโ ๐ตโ๐บโ๐ธโ๐ญโ๐ฎโ๐ณโ' ๐ดโ๐ซโ๐ซโ ๐นโ๐ญโ๐ฎโ๐ธโ ๐ธโ๐ญโ๐ฎโ๐นโ๐ญโ๐ดโ๐ฑโ๐ชโ." There was a drawn-out pause before a reply came, Leo's voice coming in garbled from the old comms equipment. "๐พโ๐ชโ-๐ญโ, ๐พโ๐ชโ๐ฆโ-๐ญโ. ๐ฒโ๐ฆโ๐ทโ๐ฌโ๐ชโ๐ทโ๐ชโ๐นโ -๐ธโ ๐ฆโ๐ทโ๐ฌโ๐บโ-๐ฎโ๐ณโ๐ฌโ ๐ผโ๐ฎโ๐นโ๐ญโ ๐นโ-๐ญโ๐ชโ ๐ธโ๐บโ๐ตโ๐ตโ-๐ฑโ๐พโ ๐ดโ๐ซโ๐ซโ๐ฎโ-๐ชโ๐ทโ -๐งโ๐ดโ๐บโ๐นโ ๐ฆโ ๐ฒโ๐ฎโ๐ธโ-๐ธโ๐ฎโ๐ณโ๐ฌโ ๐จโ๐ทโ๐ฆโ๐นโ- ๐ดโ๐ซโ ๐ฒโ๐ชโ๐ฉโ๐ธโ, ๐งโ๐บโ๐นโ ๐ผโ๐ชโ'๐ทโ๐ชโ ๐ผโ๐ทโ๐ฆโ-๐ตโ๐ตโ๐ฎโ๐ณโ๐ฌโ ๐บโ๐ตโ ๐ณโ-๐ดโ๐ผโ." Dorsett huffed a sigh, "๐ซโ๐ดโ๐ทโ๐ฌโ๐ชโ๐นโ ๐ฆโ๐งโ๐ดโ๐บโ๐นโ ๐นโ๐ญโ๐ชโ ๐ฒโ๐ชโ๐ฉโ๐ธโ, ๐ผโ๐ชโ'๐ปโ๐ชโ ๐ธโ๐นโ๐ฎโ๐ฑโ๐ฑโ ๐ฌโ๐ดโ๐นโ ๐ชโ๐ณโ๐ดโ๐บโ๐ฌโ๐ญโ ๐นโ๐ดโ ๐ผโ๐ดโ๐ทโ๐ฐโ ๐ผโ๐ฎโ๐นโ๐ญโ ๐ดโ๐ณโ โ๐นโ๐ญโ๐ช ๐ธโ๐บ๐งโ... ๐ผโ๐ชโ'๐ฑโ๐ฑ ๐ฌโ๐ดโ ๐ฌโ๐ชโ๐นโ ๐ฒโ๐ดโ๐ทโ๐ชโ ๐ฆโ๐นโ ๐นโ๐ญโ๐ชโ ๐ณโ๐ชโ๐ฝโ๐นโ ๐ธโ๐นโ๐ฆโ๐นโ๐ฎโ๐ดโ๐ณ ๐ฆโ๐ซโ๐นโ๐ชโ๐ทโ ๐ผโ๐ชโ ๐ฉโ๐ทโ๐ดโ๐ตโ ๐ดโ๐ซโ๐ซโ ๐นโ๐ญโ๐ชโ ๐ดโ๐นโ๐ญโ๐ชโ๐ทโ ๐จโ๐ฆโ๐ทโ๐ฌโ๐ดโโ. ๐ฏโ๐บโ๐ธโ๐นโ ๐ฌโ๐ชโ๐นโ ๐งโ๐ฆโ๐จโ๐ฐโ ๐ดโ๐ณโ ๐งโ๐ดโ๐ฆโ๐ทโ๐ฉโ."

Came Leo's reply just as Dorsett's headset blared a deafening warning and shut off. He cursed, wrenching the device from his head and tossed it on the console in frustration. Great, Battery's dead. Dorsett thought to himself, sighing again as he sat up from the captain's chair. He picked the headset up off the console and flipped it around in his hands. The equipment provided to the crew of the Ardent Wretch was as old as it was prone to failure, and what did work drained power at an incredible rate. He threw the headset onto his shoulder and moved to the aft end of the ship, through the airlock, and into the medical suite. Dr. Eli Boman had been occupied with organizing the ship's sparse medical supplies and was indifferent to Dorsett's entrance. "Ey Dick..." murmured Eli, not looking away from his work as Dorsett passed through, "Where you headed?" Eli Boman was a portly, sullen and cowardly man, not entirely dissimilar from his twin brother, Chance Boman. The good doctor had spent a great deal of time serving aboard the Wretch, tending to the minor burns and bruises of which were commonplace when serving aboard any vessel. "Headset's busted. Gonna see if Dale's got any more batteries in storage." Replied Dorsett, gesturing in Eli's general direction. "How's the leg?" Eli turned slightly, glancing from his leg to Dorsett as a scowl formed across his face. "Still hurts. Don't want to waste the morphine on it, though. Hey, uh-... Leo an' Margeret drop off the medical crate yet?" Dorsett stopped and shook his head. "No crate. Sounds like 'et got... misplaced. Gonna have ta' get one at the next station." Eli slumped his shoulders and turned back towards his work. "Fuckin' figures." He muttered disdainfully. Dorsett scowled at the harsh reaction but chose not to engage the topic further, choosing to instead leave the doctor to his sorting and pass into the next airlock. He'd known that the recent change of command hadn't gone over well with some of the crew, the Boman twins making their disapproval rather well known. They had both worked under the previous captain, William Reyes, for nearly three years and were the first to object to Dorsett's ascension. The Ardent Wretch had been captained first by one Malcolm Falcone who, through either a lack of experience or a callous disregard for the wellbeing of his crew, lost his position to William Reyes in a mutiny in which he did not survive. With Reyes at the helm, the Wretch and her crew did fairly well and made quite the name for itself, even having tentative plans to enlist the vessel officially under the Coalition Navy. That was until the Crew of the Ardent Wretch received a harrowing distress signal from what appeared to be a half-sunk mining vessel during a routine cargo transport. Reyes ordered the Wretch to respond and he, headstrong as he'd always been, disembarked and descended to investigate the sunken miner along with two security officers, placing the then helmsman Dorsett in command of the vessel temporarily. A full day passed with no response from captain Reyes or the rest of the response team after the initial boarding, and with Richard Dorsett as the acting captain a decision needed to be made. At first, Dorsett had made preparations to send another team down, but just before the new team was about to depart a second and final transmission reached the Wretch from one of the response team members. It was faint and garbled with interference, but the message was clear enough and still rang in Dorsett's mind at times. "๐นโ๐ญโ- ๐ชโ๐ณโ๐นโ๐ฎโ๐ทโ-๐ชโ ๐จโ๐ทโ-๐ผโ ๐ฎโ๐ธโ ๐ฎโ๐ณโ๐ซโ๐ชโ-๐จโ๐นโ-๐ฉโ...๐ญโ๐บโ๐ธโ๐ฐโ-... -๐ธโ๐ฎโ๐นโ๐ชโ... ๐จโ๐ฆโ๐ตโ๐นโ๐ฆโ-๐ฎโ๐ณโ ๐ทโ๐ชโ๐พโ-๐ชโ๐ธโ ๐ผโ๐ฆโ๐ธโ ๐ฎโ๐ณโ๐ซโ-๐ชโ๐จโ-... ๐ธโ๐ญโ๐ดโ๐นโ -๐ฎโ๐ฒโ๐ธโ๐ชโ๐ฑโ๐ซโ... ๐ฉโ๐ดโ๐ณโ- ๐งโ๐ดโ๐ฆโ๐ทโ๐ฉโ... ๐ทโ๐บโ๐ณโ-..." Dorsett remembered how his stomach lurched to his throat in that moment. Everything he and Reyes had worked towards shattered to pieces in a single transmission. He remembered ordering the ordinance technician to load a depth charge as the helmsman pulled the ship to a safer distance. as the Ardent Wretch ascended, pulling away from the mining vessel, the depth charge was released and detonated just off the bow of the sub and freed it from the sea wall. What remained to sink further into the abyss and taking those infected along with it. With the death of Captain Reyes, the spirit of the Ardent Wretch and its crew seemed to have died with him. The idea to join the Coalition Navy was abandoned, Dorsett not having anywhere near the reputation or connections with the Coalition as Reyes had. The crew entering a malaise of sorts as the weeks wore on, their stomach for adventure lost as everyone grew content with running odd jobs and ferrying cargo from one shit-stinking station to the next. The twins hadn't forgiven him for abandoning Reyes, and Dorsett knew they blamed him for their current circumstances. Dorsett found himself lost in the dreary memories of those past three months. He realized he'd been lingering in the airlock for what must have been a few minutes and shook the haze from his mind. Wiping his face with his hands, he pressed on through the airlock and into the next corridor until he arrived at the storage room. Sergei Ladon was there to greet him as he entered the storage room. Ladon was a thin, short man with a thick Neo-Russian accent. He was devilishly charming - a trait that had earned him quite the reputation as a philanderer - and Dorsett was happy to see him there, knowing he could use some of that levity right about now. Ladon was one of the few who supported Dorsett's ascension to command; the two had known each other for some time, Ladon being the ship's resident Electrical Technician having taught Dorsett a few tricks with repairing the sub's systems during their downtime. The two exchanged a friendly nod, Dorsett rifling through the different lockers for a new battery as Ladon returned to whatever it was he was doing. Eventually finding a battery, Dorsett sat on the floor just opposite of Ladon, removing the headset from his shoulder and fiddling with the battery plate. "What'cha workin' on Ladon?" He asked. "Trying to find new fuse. One of the junction boxes blew one and now part of the crew quarters is without light, and everyon' blame me!" Ladon turned, exaggerating with his arms as a smile bore wide across his face, before turning back around and continuing his search. Dorsett chuckled. "Well, you did reroute a bunch of wire to power that 'experiment' of yours ah' little 'while ago." Ladon turned around again, pointing an accusatory finger at Dorsett as his smile broadened. "You were saying that if I could get out a faster charge on the supercapacitor you'd give me raise. How am I to know you didn't mean that fast?" He said. They both shared a quick laugh, Ladon returning to his search once again. He seemed to be getting frustrated as the minutes passed and he still hadn't found a fuse. "Check the, uh-... the drawer, there..." said Dorsett, looking up from the headset and gesturing to Ladon's left. "... no, the one below that one." Ladon open the drawer and exclaimed, "ัะฟะฐัะธะฑะพ ัะตััะพะฒัะบะธ ะฑะพะณ! No more having to play cards in the dark, huh?" He laughed, grabbing the fuse and flipping it around in his hand. Dorsett laughed with him, looking back down to his headset and removing the battery plate. He glanced at Ladon again as he worked. "So, uh-... you an' Margeret, how's that going?" Ladon's smile melted away, replaced by an irritated frown. "You know, she is telling me she is wanting 'space', yeah? Space! Onboard ะปะพะดะบะฐ, submarine, and you want space! Bah!" He waved his arms in frustration, shaking his head. "Well give the lady what she wants, she'll come 'round eventually." Dorsett said through a smile, swapping the old battery with the new. He slipped the old one into one of the lockers as he stood up and keyed his radio. It flickered to life, and he placed it back on his head. "She is good woman, you know. Just so... uh-... how you say, 'hard-headed' auh? Stubborn like ass. Still won't get off my back about those women at Kaloskov Station, man! They approach me, how I say no? You talk to her, okay? Tell her I am not the bad guy!" Ladon said, jostling at Dorsett's arm as he begged for his assistance. "Alright, alrigh- c'mon, get off ah' me... I'll talk to her, christ. Jus' give her some 'space' in the meantime, alright? Last thing I need is Margeret on my ass too." Dorsett responded, pulling away from Ladon's grasping hands as he smirked. Ladon nodded vigorously and fiddled with the fuse while Dorsett turned away, took a few steps, and keyed his headset.

Spoke Dorsett, again followed by a few moments of silence.

Came the reply, still a garbled mess and barely discernable. Dorsett sighed, turning back to Ladon. "Can you take a look at the communications system when you get done fuckin' around in here? Transmissions are comin' in a little messy recently." He inquired, a little more venom in his tone than he'd meant. Ladon turned, a frown drawing across his face, and nodded his head, "Uh-... yes, yes I will take a look at that. Probably just local interference from the station." He replied, before moving past Dorsett and setting off for the crew quarters without so much as a goodbye. Dorsett shook his head, regretting having taken out his frustration on his friend like that. He lingered for a few seconds before taking his leave from the storage room, through the airlocks and again past Eli, still methodically organizing various first aid equipment in the medical suite, before arriving back at the command deck. He sat back down in his chair, once more eyeballing the stack of paperwork with contempt, using his foot to push the stack further under the console and out of view. A few of the other crew members brushed past him and his command seat, tending to their duties in preparation to undock, Dorsett taking in the scene for a moment. Coil gun ammunition was being fed in belts to the loader, gun crews polishing the periscopes and running the weapons through the usual test procedures. Two assistants were arguing over who had a more efficient route to the next station. New hires, thought Dorsett, not recognizing them immediately. Chance was setting the last railgun round into the feeder, glancing back at Dorsett every so often with his usual scowl. Ballast pumps were operating nominally according to the monitor in front of Dorsett, and he took the opportunity to run a quick check through all of the vessel's sub-systems, all of which reported green. Satisfied, Dorsett checked the onboard surveillance just in time to see Leopold Bower and Margeret Silvia board the ship with the last of the crates. He keyed the intercom. "๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ฌ. ๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก ๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐๐. ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ก๐๐ญ๐๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐. ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ข๐ง sixty ๐ฌ๐๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ."**** Dorsett nodded to the Helmsman, another new hire, who began to detach the Wretch from the station and fill the Ballasts. As if on queue, the submarine rumbled to life, reactor power coursing through the vessel's wired veins. As he always did, Dorsett sucked in a breath and said a quick prayer to whatever god was listening. He counted off the seconds in his head, placing a hand on the detach lever as he did so. As he pulled the lever and the submarine groaned free of the docking port, plunging down deeper into the water below, Dorsett muttered the same words he'd heard Captain Reyes speak before countless dives. "Into the Drink." |
2024.05.15 11:17 conversation-dude Playing chess at Northgate
Over the past few weekends Iโve been bringing my chess board to Northgate, sitting down in the tables in front of Dixie Chicken or The Backyard, and playing whoever sits down.
The reason I did this was out of love for the game, boredom, and desire to socialize. I donโt drink and am not very talkative so yes this was the best way to spend Friday and Saturday nights, obviously.
For reference, I peaked at 1850 ELO in chess.com. People who sat down could be any rating. I played people who were probably rated close to 100 all the way to people who mustโve been 2300+. If I had to guess, the mean rating was around 900 but with a very large standard deviation. I won more than 95% of the games. I must have played hundreds of people in total, with the vast majority being men. I only played against 3 women. I played people of all ethnicities but the majority were white Americans. The good thing about playing here was that it took a very short to play someone. The average wait between games was probably about 5 minutes. This made it by far the best time and place to set up a chess board in CS. I sometimes set up my board on campus in between classes but got nowhere near as many people to play then.
It was fun! The โrudestโ comment I got was โcongrats, you beat a drunk person, you four eyed nerd.โ Most people were super friendly and amused at the idea of playing chess in a place that seems antithetical to it. What makes playing chess in person worth it is shaking your opponents hand and saying thanks for playing after. It feels very human and warm when compared to online chess. The problem is that talking while playing chess is hard. Calculating moves takes a lot of brain processing, so thereโs little space to think about what to say in a conversation. This means that I had mostly just pleasant small talk before or after games.
Most people sat by themselves, but it was very funny when a group of people sat down. Sometimes people would cheer when a piece was captured. People walking by would holler a move (KNIGHT TO F5!!โ). People would make a celebrity move then disappear. Others would take pictures. Illegal moves were seen: knights moving like bishops, pawns moving diagonally without capturing, castling in check, and moving a pinned piece so that the king could be taken. A girlfriend complained to her bf who sat down โbabe you are NOT about to do this.โ People told me about how they used to play chess with their grandfather. They said chess in person feels different and harder than online. I won $5 once. Somehow, I went on a date out of all of it.
I graduated this semester so I wonโt be able to do this anymore. But it was honestly one of the best things Iโve done in college and Iโll miss it a lot. If any of the people I played reads this, thanks for sitting down and playing.

2024.05.15 11:13 Pemulis_DMZ The calamity of Jane's character arc in the Deadwood movie. An epilogue to yesterday's movie review.
Thanks to all the hoopleheads who commented on my review of the Deadwood movie yesterday (linked below for anyone curious). With the exception of a couple limey cocksuckers, I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on the film and gained an appreciation for certain parts of the movie.
There is one major character from the movie I didn't talk about though and that's because I think she deserves her own spotlight, sadly due to just how badly her character and storyline were written.
Calamity Jane is a tragic character in the Deadwood tv series. Spouting some of the most vulgar and hilarious lines in a show filled with hilarious vulgarity, Jane was nevertheless often an object of the viewer's pity due to her chronic and debilitating alcoholism stemming largely from her undeserved self-loathing. By the end of season three, while still not nearly out of the woods that is her addiction, Jane has found some semblance of happiness after rediscovering her passion for caring for others following Mose's shooting, interacting with the school children, and falling in love with Joanie Stubbs.
Jane's addiction (great band) and self loathing stemmed from two demons, as far as I see it: a misplaced desire to be what she could never be - a gun-toting, fearless cowboy of the fabled American West - and a rejection of who she really was - a woman with a nurturing soul but also with some tendencies seen as more traditionally masculine at a time when society's definition of what it meant to be a proper woman was extremely confining. By both falling in love with Joanie and accepting her nurturing nature, Jane both finally dispelled the misbegotten notion that she should be seen as a brave cowboy and also accepted who she really was.
Jane's story line was my favorite because, while my own maturation and self-realizations have been entirely different, similar to Jane my own self-acceptance didn't come after some dramatic event or grand realization. Life simply continued and I was lucky to finally mature enough to accept and love myself for who I am.
And then there's the movie, and not only is Jane's story line a simple rehash of S3 (a complaint made many times by many people about many of the characters) it fundamentally misunderstands what made her storyline satisfying. Fast forwarding past her contrived and rehashed love story with Joanie, Jane heroically shoots Harry Manning just as he was about to treacherously shoot Bullock to free Hearst.
I understand that Harry's assassination attempt mirrors the assassination of Wild Bill Hickock by the coward Jack McCall, lending Jane's rescue some poetic justice, but the idea that Jane's character arc would come to a satisfying conclusion by heroically shooting someone for all the town to see fundamentally misunderstands what was needed for her to find true happiness - self-acceptance not some bold display of traditional cowboy heroics - and what made her character a truly hopeful one by the end of the series.
The image I choose to keep of Jane is of her walking hand in hand with Joanie, leading the children to their new school. She's drunk, she still has her demons, but she's finding her place and learning not to be ashamed of it.
But instead of a nuanced character study with an understated ending that shows an incredible understanding and compassion for the human condition like what we got in the tv show, the movie gives us something pretty. Jane gets to be the heroic cowboy like some 1950's western tv show. In my opinion, this is a misguided way to wrap up a complicated, hilarious, and tragic character arc that had so beautifully shown that real happiness doesn't come from some dramatic display or event like we often imagine, but rather the quiet maturation that comes with learning to love yourself.
Thanks for reading my review. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, and as always those who disagree with me suck cock by choice. https://www.reddit.com/deadwood/comments/1crone3/longtime_fan_of_the_show_who_only_just_watched/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

2024.05.15 11:03 not_sosuretho I'm starting to not like my sister
For a bit of back story, my older sister hasnt really been a part of the family. She has been in boarding schools from middle school till uni and only stays a while to visit. I guess this whole family concept is new to her. She used to be the best older sister. I would always brag to my friends about how preety and smart she is even though ive had some horrible experiences with her. She recently graduated uni and is back at home she is looking for a scolarship in Tokyo for her master's ( that I really hope she gets)
My little sister is really wise and calm for an 11 year old but she also has her complaints about her. My older sister tends to ignore people and then pretend to be nice, valuable or a 'saviour' by baking, cooking and cleaning around. She also pretends to be this really smart person and interrupts laughs or makes rude remarks when trying to prove your point in a debate. I have ADHD which is frustrating for my clean freak little sister that i share a room with as i tend to forget things she asked me to do or leave random things all over the room jumping from task to task. My sister and I always bicker but end up making up and I truly put in effort to keep the room clean. On one of these bickering moments my oldersister came into the room and imediatly took her side and ignored anything i had to say and would directly talk to her like im not in the room "Dont worry just ignore her, we all know she doesnt care about anyone" which makes completly no sense at all but whatever.
Im really smart and everyone knows that biology is a subject I'm good at so when my mum was talking about something and i was explaining it to her from a biological stand I was confused to see her mocking and laughing at me and looking at my little sister who was just as stunned as I was. We got into a debate about whether smoking causes cancer or not and i said that it doesnt but has a correlation to which she indirectly said that I'm 'young and stupid' and we aren't here to argue 'semantics' She then went on to use 'big words' in hopes to make me feel dumb but failed terribly. she asked me if i knew what a certain chemical compound was and when I said no she just went completely out of control with her rude attitude and when i confronted her, she just said that "being rude is the only thing that works with me" I, later on, asked my dad who has a high IQ and is super good at all sciences what that compound is and he had no Idea.
My mom recently bought everyone chocolate. I kept mine in my bag but decided to keep it in the fridge a couple days later. both my sisters had eatten their bars so i was surprised to see that my bar was also missing. Im not a fan of the brand and would have let her eat it if she had asked me. I asked my younger sister if she ate it and she said no, my parents dont like sugar which only leaves her in the home. I found out later that she told my mum I ate mine and some of hers, she is really good at manipulating my mother. I also saw her take my earbuds and use them, I asked her if those were mine to which she replied "I dont know what ur talking about" and then put them on and blasted music. I told her I would appreciate if she asked before using my stuff to which she replied "I dont know what ur talking about" and smirked
The next day I took a chocolate she had gotten for herself and hid it. When she asked me where it was i told her i dint know what she was talking about to which she responded to saying stuff under her breath. He had had a physical fight when i was around 13 and she did some damage there but knew not to mess with me now as im bigger and stronger than she is. she complained to our mum saying that money should be deducted from my pockets. I let her believe i ate her chocolate for an hour to let her know how i feel about her taking my things without my permission then i placed her chocolate on the kitchen counter and accidentally knocked yogurt she put in the freezer and promptly cleaned it up. she saw the spilled yogurt and was jeering at me and flinging all sorts of insults. I didn't care and camly cleaned up the mess. I guess she saw the chocolate because its missing from the counter and people in this house dont just take things that dont belong to them.
I'm starting to seriously not like my sister and I dont know what to do about it. she's not all bad but for a 22-year-old.. this is completely unacceptable. there was a time she decided to go vegan and would call the food in the fridge a "grave yard" when i tried to fry an egg she made a disgusted face and called it "chicken period" she also called any kind of meat "corpses" Im guessing she has grown a little from then but ill never forget that easter break she came over. If you ask her about this she will tell you that she would never say 'such a thing' and that 'the human brain creates false memories' and so thats what i must be going through.
I dont want to dislike her because she is family and i have alot of good memories with her but I also will not tolerate nonsense. AITAH for not liking my sister? or hiding her chocolate? I feel bad "playing God" and making her learn a lesson.

2024.05.15 10:44 smellyskcms608 some gadget that could help blind students??
interning at a blind institute rn, need something very cheap that could be given to each student(3k), budget is not much but im willing to give it a try.
originally, i thought of making a bracelet with the rf reader so thee teachers wont have to waste time touching the child and trying to get to know his name(its a problem espefially among smaller kids) but it was impractical and was not that useful.
rn im thinking of making a chess board that could take in voice command like a3 knight etc and play that on the board whilst the opponent player that can see will play his move on the board and speak what he did and yes the blind student will say his turn and continue.
can someone please help me refine my ideas or state some new things that you think could help them?
please note that sticks and guard robotic dogs are not practjcal and have been experimented with before, school and corridors are small, students do not carry any sort of sticks or device with them.
also please dm if you can help code an arduino for a dancing robot

2024.05.15 10:22 Clean_Revolution843 Meth addicted spouse and Paranoid
My spouse is currently 42 Days sober out of rehab, and I am so proud! So many positive changes, and I can see his heart, its an amazing feeling. Unfortunately I was under the misguided impression that when he became sober, he would be completely out of the โpsychosisโ and realize that what he had been accusing me of, was just bizarre and not true. Yet here we sit, trying to show each other love, yet I know in the back of his mind, he legitimately believes he caught me in MULTIPLE porn videoโs(which he sent to me while I was working), sleeping with his family members, male and female, ages ranging from high school, up to 50โsโฆstrangers, all the neighborsโฆyou name it, he accused me of it. Even when these women look nothing like me and they are covering their eyes. So i guess my question isnโt why he feels this way, because Iโve read about all i could read about drug induced psychosisโฆbut more a question as to maybe how long, or is this idea going to stay planted forever? He refuses to watch the videoโs he sent me before going to rehab. I had kept them as my โproofโ per se that they werenโt me, but he believes he will just be triggered by watching them because he is afraid he will still โsee meโ in them, even though I have never done such a thing in my life, and 110% those women are not me. In my mind Iโm thinking, what better solution to the problem, than to watch the videos with sober eyes and realize they arenโt me, wouldnโt that be a damn relief, for the both of us? Obviously not a relief if his brain could truly cause him to picture my face on other peoples bodies, but of course Iโm not thinking of that, when I know that no way in hell these people are me, just like I cant possibly understand where he is coming from, he cannot see perspective from my side either, when this is quite literally reality versus drug induced psychosisโฆ Has anyone experienced this situation? I cannot help but to feel offended by these accusations, and the strong desire to prove my innocence. What I cannot seem to get on board with, is the idea that he needs to just be able to deal with โmy cheatingโ โaccept itโ and be able to โmove onโโฆbecause that is offensive to my sensibilities. I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS ACTualLY BETRAYEDโฆso those resentments and feelings of a need for forgivingness belong to me, how can I watch someone try to โget over, and be okay withโ something I never didโฆthat cannot be the best solution to the problem, because for the rest of our lives, can he then claim to be triggered by the fact that I had cheated on him, even if only in his head, and I must feel some sort of pity for him, and treat the situation delicately like I have anything to be sorry for, and feel empathy for him? Selfishly I am speaking now, but those feelings of betrayal belong to me, I am the one who is destroyed inside, lacking confidence, feeling like I wasnโt enough, but does the success of his recovery process mean that I must make myself small once again and allow him to believe that he is working on forgiveness for my actions? That is such a damn hard pill to swallowโฆalthough, I would do it, I just want there to be another answer.

I hoped that there would just be a โTADAAAโ moment when he was sober, that he would finally see what I had been seeing this whole time, but is that too much to hope for?

2024.05.15 10:19 suguuss PC doesn't boot after reprogramming FPGA (PCIe)
Hey,
I am working on some PCIe stuff with the KCU105. I had a working design with a small BAR (1 MB). I wanted to use a bigger BAR size (1 GB), it worked the first time. I then reprogrammed the FPGA, and the PC where the board is does not boot anymore.
I've found some old posts on the xilinx forum, but there are no solutions...
https://support.xilinx.com/s/question/0D52E00006iHu5oSAC/pc-wont-boot-after-a-configuration?language=en_US
https://support.xilinx.com/s/feed/0D52E00006hpe4QSAQ?language=en_US
https://support.xilinx.com/s/question/0D52E00006hpZvGSAU/vc709-with-pcie-prevents-pc-from-booting?language=en_US
Symptoms
Something happens when pressing the power button, but no video signal. Sometimes the cpu fan goes full speed (it's a bit random, i can't reproduce that).
What I tried
I removed the FPGA from the computer, and it still does not boot
I tried to reset the BIOS by removing the battery but no effect.
I tried to change the power cable
I tried to check if one of the RAM stick was faulty by removing them one by one
I'm out of ideas, I don't know what to do :(
Any help is appreciated.

2024.05.15 10:15 No_Stuff_7142 White weenie with rites of initiation
Hi all! I'm brewing a new take on white weenie and some early results on mtgo are promising. Basically the idea is to flood the board having some card advantage thanks to the 8 inspectors, battle screech triplicate spirits and squadron hawks and then have an "i win button" in the form of rites of initiation. Im still evaluating what is best between prismatic strands and ramosian rally in this kind of deck. Also, with the spoiler of thraben charm, im pretty sure that journey to nowhere will be Cutted. Here's the list
4 thraben inspector 4 novice inspector 4 raffine's informant 4 squadron hawk 4 lunarch veteran 4 eagles of the north 4 battle screech 4 rites of initiation 2 prismatic strands 2 ramosian rally 4 journey to nowhere 2 triplicate spirits 4 sacred peaks 2 idyllic grange 12 plains
Sideboard// 4 red elemental blast 2 smash to dust 3 relic of progenitus 2 prismatic strands 2 dawnbringer cleric 2 lumithread field

2024.05.15 10:11 No_Condition_6358 Best major to choose in CS to set me up for a secure future.
I am applying for a bachelor in CS in Western Sydney University. There are 6 majors I can choose from Systems Programming, Networked Systems, Cybersecurity, Artificial intelligence and Technology entrepreneurship.
I don't really have detailed idea what each of these does but as long it's not hardware, I think I can make myself do it.
I want to know which one will give me the best chance at getting a high paying job when I graduate in 2027. Something which will pay me well as a fresh graduate instead of after 5-10 years of experience.
I am also really into entrepreneurship but I don't know if Tech Entrepreneurship will actually help me much. Can you really learn how to be an entrepreneur in a classroom?
Any insights would be appreciated.

2024.05.15 09:41 Rynn21 Humidity and mold issue
Hi. Iโve been struggling with humidity in SoCal.
Ongoing from last year and back again. I discovered white and orange mold that got on my bookshelves and ruined some items in a dresser. There is orange mildew stains on my bathroom ceiling, even after installing an automatic fan and painting the entire interior of our home. Even fixed our kitchen fan. Mildew was also on the peeled paint in the adjacent bedroom to the bathroom (where the damages occurred). Then there was the same wall mildew and damages in the living room opposite the house. Our big arch window has been completely fogged up and dripping condensation. Most of the windows were replaced with double pane about four years ago, but the humidity might be the problem and not the single pane. I have zero idea the cause of the humidity. I canโt open windows cause the humidity outside has been 98%. I have been running two dehumidifiers constantly opposite sides of the house. They definitely fill with water, as Iโm constantly dumping it out (I donโt have a way to drain it automatically). However, another reader shows about the same percentage of 65-78 humidity, even minutes to hours of turning off the dehumidifier, or emptying it. Hell, one day a week ago every room read 50-51, with only the living room remaining high. Now itโs nonstop high with it currently reading 73-82 in each room. I am so lost. The roof isnโt leaking. Itโs been inspected. The only things I can think of is that the wooden trim and plaster outside each window could use some caulking even if not visible, and we donโt have an insulated home. A tiny attic you can barely crouch in and a crawl space of dirt under the house with only thin wooden floor boards separating to the interior of the home. We also donโt have anything but a window ac in the living room cause the house is from 1927. No centralized heating, etc. Any advice appreciated on what to do cause I donโt want anything else ruined and itโs been driving me nuts trying to stay at 50% to prevent mold growth. I donโt want to spend a fortune on electric bills either. Iโm so exhausted from spraying things down with mold killer.

Biography
Olivia was born in the year before the conquest to Osric and Joanna Redwyne, as their second child. In the very next year, Osric would be fatally injured by dragonfire at the Field of Fire, and pass before he could even be brought to a maester. Therefore, the young Redwyne never really knew her father, but both her and her older brother would soon be adopted by their uncles Simon and Lucas, the latter of which their mother Joanna would then marry and have another child with.It is usually said that every Redwyne is born with a natural inclination towards the sea. For Olivia that turned out to be much stronger than for most others, and was only further reinforced each time one of her uncles took her along on a journey across the Arbor Strait or on some journeys south. What started as jokingly giving her command during a trip once, quickly turned into a lot of surprise for the crew when the then 6-year-old began barking orders as if she had spent four decades at sea. With each journey she was progressively given more and more responsibilities until she eventually commanded her own ship. In that regard she was outpacing her brother Clovis massively.
She was 14 when her brother Clovis, then Lord of the Arbor, ran off to Essos. Within the week she was on board of her ship sailing east in order to find him and bring him home. Unfortunately for her that happened to be precisely when the fighting was going on in the Stepstones, and upon request by Queen Rhaenys she was forced to partake in the fighting first, giving her brother more than enough time to get lost somewhere in the eastern continent.
So, for about four years she sailed from town to town giving chase until she finally caught his trail and chased him down in Qarth, drunk out of his mind, in the courtyard of some local magister. She quickly put him on a ship and sailed back to the Arbor with him.
The following years proved rather uneventful. There was the occasional Ironborn party which came too close to the island for comfort and needed to be met with force. An occasional escort for some trade convoy. Most of the time, however, she spent tending to her familyโs lands whenever Clovis again decided to sail to Essos on โbusinessโ. Whenever he overstayed, it was her duty to go and fetch him again.

Basic Information
Name and House: Clovis RedwyneAge: 31
Cultural Group: Andal
Appearance: For lack of a better word, Clovis Redwyne looks very polite. Heโs got the typical red Redwyne hair and blue eyes, along with soft curves to his face. Heโs got a short beard which is just the result of him too often being too lazy to just shave properly. Along with that his cheeks also have a bit of a red tint to them as he is often at least a little inebriated. He is a bit taller than average and surprisingly fit considering his lifestyle, but that stems mostly from him just walking so damn much.

Biography
Clovis was born a few years before the conquest. He was the firstborn and heir of Osric Redwyne so, naturally, the man built up a very close bond with his son. Unfortunately, it did not take long for him to die. And while the young lordling still had a loving mother and two pretty cool uncles, he was still undeniably left with some deep-rooted emotional issues. Putting him in a castle with the largest wine reserves on the continent was never going to end well.He was a bright kid, skilled with numbers writing, but while his younger sister was out sailing with her uncles, he was in the cellars getting absolutely steaming, shitfaced, three sheets to the wind, plastered, buckled, bollocksed, flutered, scuttered, rotten, tit-faced drunk. Many attempts were made to keep him sane and safe, but somehow, he always managed to get his hands on some wine to self-destruct with. Sometime during all this, someone in the family got the bright idea to arrange a marriage for him, hoping that a wife would somehow make him get his life back on track.
It backfired, and a week before the arranged wedding was to take place, Clovis and some of his friends got on board of a ship and fled Westeros. However, the journey did very soon become a big mess, as none of those present were skilled sailors and managed to get stranded somewhere near Volantis. Surprisingly, it was this event which put his life on A track, not the right track, but A track. He was still a Redwyne, and Wine was still in his blood, both figuratively and literally, so in Essos he found a use for his talents, by becoming a renowned wine merchant. He would travel from Free City to Free City, from vineyard to vineyard, tasting and trying and buying and selling some of the best and most interesting wines there were.
His renown even got him as far as the gates to the jade sea, where he was hired by a magister of Qarth to obtain wine for a feast the man planned to host. It is there that his younger sister eventually found him and brought him back to Westeros to actually be the Lord of the Arbor in more than just name.
With all being said, he was actually rather decent at the job too. Well, liked by his people, competent enough, and crucially, a very skilled wine merchant. A combination of these managed to bring a time of prosperity to the island province.
In the years which followed, he would still frequently travel to Essos but also to major wine-producing areas of Westeros to do the same thing he had done before: taste and try, buy and sell the best and most interesting wines out there.

I am am a furniture maker and have an unlimited supply of hardwood sawdust from my shop. I cut a very small amount of ply and mdf occasionally for templates and similar.
I know that composting with the glues in these is a bad idea. But Iโm wondering if itโs 98% hardwood and just a tiny bit of board dust is that still a problem?
Swapping the bags out every time I need to make a small plywood cut would be time consuming but if even a tiny amount would be problematic then I will find a way! I should point out this would be for edible gardening as well.
