2024.05.16 09:12 mrmiking Career change from audit

Hey everyone I'm looking for some advice. In my current role I work as an auditor in the insurance industry in a role in which my company is hired to audit Coverholders (companies) operating in the Lloyds/London Market. I'm finding the role very unfulfilling and I lack motivation to do the work although I do get it done and always do well at performance reviews. What role could I maybe pivot to from audit what are my transferable and desirable skills?
I could afford to drop in pay a little but I really couldn't go below a salary of £30,000.

2024.05.16 09:04 Chocholategirl Find Deposit and Balance Info.

Is it at all possible to find deposit or account balance information? I don't love in the US and didn't hear about what was going on with FTX till late last year. I don't trade. I bought years ago and left it on there. I got an email about claiming but thought it was scam. I later tried to log in when I got another and my nightmare was confirmed.
I keep getting emails from the liquidators and have just got another one notifying of extension to submit proof of claim.
I don't know what happened to FTX and SBF but surely one should be able to sign in? Seems this guy is a cold hearted criminal.
Please do not make comments any unhelpful comments about not leaving crypto on an exchange etc.
I'm tying to decide on which cold wallet to buy so that I can removey.crypto from other exchanges. I regret buying crypto.
Apart from downloading a sheet of all transactions and using a cold wallet please share other ways to protect ones crypto, which wallet you recommend etc?
Is it possible to find one's FTX holdings?

2024.05.16 08:58 archstanton_ Seeking Advice: First Smartwatch for Running and Sleep Tracking

Greetings. I am planning to buy my first smartwatch/fitness trackesports watch, primarily for running and some sleep tracking. Actually, I already ordered the Garmin Venu Sq 2 Music Edition when it was on sale for about €160, but the delivery has been significantly delayed. There is no information on when I might receive the product I ordered. So, while waiting, I have become somewhat frustrated and started considering other options instead of the Venu Sq 2. Specifically, the new Huawei Watch Fit 3 has caught my interest. I would see it as a nearly perfect alternative if only it had Spotify Offline capability.
The reasons I chose the Garmin were: offline Spotify, relatively good battery life, and somewhat accurate heart rate monitoring and GPS. There haven't been really detailed reviews of the new Huawei yet, but apparently, previous Huawei models have had good heart rate monitoring and battery life. Sleep tracking seems to be on a similar level to the Garmin, which means it's nothing to brag about.
Right now, I'm mainly considering whether the Huawei would be good enough and trying to manage without Spotify Offline (?). It feels like there aren't many good options in the €150-200 price range at the moment. I am also not keen on spending over €300 on a smartwatch just yet. I'll see what the situation is with the Google Pixel Watch 3 when it's released, especially if it has better battery life.

Short story - Romance: Paper Lovers
Image by Hotpot.ai
Paper Lovers Story and image by Hotpot AI
It was the year 1978, a time when technology was not as advanced as it is today. There were no smartphones, no internet, no social media. People communicated through letters and phone calls, and everything was done in real life. It was a simpler time, but it was also a time when connections were made in a more meaningful way.
In the small town of Eldridge, Oregon, nestled in the countryside, lived two individuals in their 30s—Dylan and Alyssa. They had never met, even in this small town of scarcely more than 4,000 people.
It all started with a library book. Alyssa had been browsing through the shelves in the "self help" topic when she came across a book that caught her eye. As she flipped through the pages, she noticed a small note. It was written on very thin tracing paper, and it did not create a noticeable gap in the pages of the book. It read, "True loneliness is absolutely the worst pain there is. If anyone out there feels the way I do, please reply." Alyssa's heart skipped a beat. She felt a connection to the person who had left the note, and without hesitation, she wrote a reply on a single sheet of thin paper and placed it in the same place in the book.
Days went by, and Alyssa found herself eagerly checking the book every time she visited the library. And every time, there was a new note waiting for her. They shared their deepest thoughts, their dreams, and their challenges. They talked about everything and anything, and before they knew it, they had fallen in love without ever having met.
They did this for five months. The notes were their lifeline, their little secret, their private way of connecting with each other. It was unusual, but for them that was a large part of what made it romantic. The thin sheets of paper held their hearts and souls, and they cherished every word written on them.
As time went on, Dylan knew that a strong bedrock for a relationship had been formed. He knew that at this point, the natural thing to do was to ask Alyssa if she, also, felt like they should meet and take the relationship into the real world.
Fortified by this decision, Dylan stepped into the library with even more purpose the next time he went. But to his dismay, Dylan was told that the book was not available. It was still checked out. This meant that Alyssa had not quickly replied and returned the book as she usually did, or worse—that another person had checked out the book and might not ever return it, or might throw away their last messages. Dylan's heart sank. He had grown to care for Alyssa, and now he was worried. He had no way of contacting her, and the thought of losing her without ever meeting her was unbearable.
Days turned into weeks, and Dylan couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. He missed their conversations, their late-night musings, and the feeling of closeness to her from the exchange of such private communications. He couldn't imagine his life without Alyssa, and he knew he had to find a way to reach her.
Desperate to find her, Dylan went to the library and asked the librarian about the book, giving her its exact title. To his surprise, the librarian had no idea what he was talking about. She had never seen the book before, and it was not part of their collection. Dylan's heart raced with panic. Had he imagined it all? Was Alyssa even real?
But then, the librarian remembered something. She had seen a woman leaving the book on the shelf a few weeks ago. She didn't think much of it at the time, but now she realized it must have been the book Dylan was looking for. She described the woman as someone in her 30s, with long brown hair and a kind smile.
Dylan's heart skipped a beat. It had to be Alyssa. He thanked the librarian and rushed out of the library, determined to find her.
He searched the town, asking everyone he met if they had seen a woman matching the description the librarian gave. But no one had seen her. Many people probably thought he was crazy, and he felt a little crazy. But he was crazy in love. So he kept up his searching and asking.
For hours he wandered around in a daze, trying to think of where he'd find her and how he would recognize her. Just when he was about to give up, Dylan spotted her, or someone he hoped was her.
She was sitting on a bench in the park, reading a book. He got closer and saw that it was that book.
Dylan's heart raced as he approached her. He couldn't believe he had finally found her. Alyssa looked up from her book and smiled when she saw him. They both knew that this was the moment they had been waiting for.
They sat on the bench, talking for hours, and it felt like they had known each other for a lifetime. They laughed, they cried, and they shared their hopes and fears. And as the sun began to set, they both knew that they had found their soulmate in each other.
From that day on, Dylan and Alyssa's love only grew stronger. They continued to exchange letters, but now they also had each other in real life. They went on adventures, traveled the world, and faced challenges together. And every time they passed by the library, they would smile, knowing that it was the place where their love story began.
Years went by, and Dylan and Alyssa grew old together. They never forgot the magic of those letters, and they continued to write to each other until the very end. And when they were gone, their love story lived on, inspiring others to believe in the power of true love.

2024.05.16 08:50 sushilaundry Success story!! (3 months 💓)

Hi all!! Kicked molloscum after 3 months. I got it back in November, didn’t know what it was, shaved, it spread like wild fire, ignored it, until 3 months ago when this sub lit a fire under my ass. It has been so helpful and I want to thank all of you. Here is what I did that worked really well. For reference I had at the most probably 60 molloscum at one time, all in my vagina area extending to my inner thighs and near my bum. I started doing these things all at once so I don’t know what worked and what didn’t, but I will say if I had to bet the two things I think made the biggest difference was extraction and acyclovir. Def get a script for it and start doing some pseudo surgery on yourself.
1.Extract!!! I can’t stress this enough. I started with cryo and it worked (ish) but once I started extracting I saw crazy progress. I can go into detail of my progress in the comments if you guys want but my biggest tips are be obsessive with the isopropyl alcohol and use tweezers to pull the whole core out at once. Place a pimple patch on them after.
  1. Cryo. I had a standing appointment w my gyno every 2 weeks and she’d cryo any new ones I didn’t see, but I found what worked best was when I would extract them and then she would cryo whatever bump or scar or scab that was leftover. This was probably overkill but I don’t care. There’s nothing you shouldn’t do when dealing w this.
  2. Pimple patches on them as much as possible, especially after extracting. Bought a pack of 120, kept them in the bathroom, would put new ones on daily.
  3. Change my underwear 2-3x a day. Shower twice a day. Wash my sheets weekly. I used to sleep naked but never would. Washing my pants after every use. No robes. Only naked right after a shower and then immediately put undies on. No lotion anywhere on my body except my face. Avoid any cross contact with the infected area and anywhere else. Or any cross contact with suspected non infected areas. Be crazy about it.
  4. No masterbating or touching my vagina ever. I used to touch my vagina make sure shit was alright probably once a day before, but w molloscum I literally acted as if I did not own a vagina at all. Like there was nothing between my legs. Like a Barbie. (Obviously no sex ether) this is mas important too bc when you touch your vagina you risk scratching the bumps and spreading them and when you Masterbate your wetness, sweat, or cum if you’re a boy can spread it too.
  5. Keep nails shorts so it can’t ever get under your nails and spread to other parts of your body.
  6. ACYCLOVIR!!!! I read about there being evidence that this worked, asked my dr and she said she’d never heard of that usage but I asked her to write me script anyways and I took it twice a day for the past month and a half. Made me very lightheaded, I lost my appetite, and it made me feel like shit in general for the first 2 weeks but I powered through and then got used to it.
  7. Sleep good and lower stress. I made an effort to sleep a lot and really actively tried to manage my stress levels (I’m in college both of these things were HARD) worth it!
  8. Research the fuck out of molloscum. I probably dedicated 30-40 hours researching molloscum on this sub, studies, articles, and other forums. This was really helpful to know what to ask the drs for and to create my own treatment plan bc my dr, although lovely, only suggested the marginally effective cryo. You need to advocate for yourself and know A LOT about this virus if you want to kick it. be obsessive 🫣
  9. No shaving or waxing (duh). I wasn’t Hu w anyone so there was no need to shave so I would let it grow and then when I needed visibility I would trim real good and carefully w scissors. Pro tip: squeeze the skin of where you’re trying to trim with your other hand and you can get a much closer cut at the weird angles. I did apprehensively use veet in the past month on my vagina, no spreading from what I can tell and god did it feel good to have a bare vagina (albeit it was only patches of a bare vagina) after months of bush.
I haven’t got a bump at all in about a month and I want to shave/wax but I’m literally terrified they will come back. Anyone have experience with this??? Lmk💓💓

Arc: Revelations
*************************************************************
Greetings, people of Gateway City. This is your new peacekeeper speaking. You might know me as the White Magician, a rather crude name, but I will accept it considering Man’s World's lack of creativity. However, you may also call me Circe, and I am here with an important message that your news station will deliver for all to hear.
SCYTHE is no more: their HQ is under my and the Red Centipedes’ command. The Commander and his soldiers are dead and buried, as you all wished to happen. I was more than happy to oblige you if it meant depriving your stupid President of her next chance for reelection. Any survivors of the prison break are being hunted down by the people they locked in cages, who are more than happy to round them up as they once had been themselves.
But none of that’s important, for this recording is only to be heard by one person: Olympos, Wonder Girl, or whatever the fuck new title name you want to be called. This message is for you: You are to surrender yourself to me here in SCYTHE HQ in the next five hours, and in turn, I will not destroy this piss-end of a city. If you fail, I promise you, I will make Coast City look like a picnic by the time I finish with Gateway.
That cow you call Wonder Woman is dead, and I will make sure everyone else will follow her if you don’t comply with my request.
Your mentor learned a valuable lesson when she tested my patience.
*************************************************************
Spears Apartment - Gateway City:
[...President Cale has announced the complete closure of all access to Gateway City following the prison break that occurred in SCYTHE’s holding facility hours ago,] said Cassandra Arnold from GateNews, the city’s main news station. [We still have an unconfirmed number of escapees following the message sent by the White Magician, but the President has assured GateNews a solution will be found.]
Vanessa Kapatelis watched the TV in dismay. Pacing back and forth in the Spears duplex apartment, she had the TV on to pass the time while Ares worked on helping Helena and Cassandra upstairs.
“Here,” Vanessa turned away from the TV to see Tanya Spears handing her a bottle of water. “Something for you to drink.”
“Thank you,” Vanessa accepted the bottle. “I would prefer a beer, but this will make do.”
“My mom has her wine collection in a locked cabinet,” Tanya noted, pointing at the kitchen. “She doesn’t know that I know that, but I can get you a bottle?”
Vanessa chuckled. “Thanks, but I don’t want a girl your age to be walking around with alcohol or to get you in trouble with your mom.” She twisted the bottle cap and slowly drank. “I needed that… it feels like I’ve been dry for months.”
“It’s actually been 3 hours,” Tanya said, sitting on the sofa and opening her tablet to look over the internet. “I hope what she said wasn’t true… about Wonder Woman not being around…”
Taking a seat by her side, Vanessa saw that Tanya was reading through the report on what happened to SCYTHE. The escaped convicts had taken control of the SCYTHE headquarters and equipment after killing many of the agents that had stood in their way.
Seeing the photo of SCYTHE HQ burning angered her. That place should represent the absolute shield of Gateway. Now, it had come under the control of the convicts that they were supposed to stop because of Aeeta Branwen. A name that had made her happy now belonged to a stranger who had lied to her all this time.
Memories of their most intimate moments came flooding back: their first conversation, their first date, their kiss, and the morning after their date in her apartment. It was a moment when she thought she could finally stop grieving and move on from what happened to Coast City. And now, that had been disintegrated into oblivion.
In anger, she crushed the bottle with her hand, spraying water all over the table and the floor.
“Shit!” Vanessa stood up, finally realizing her mistake. “I am sorry!”
“Oh, it's fine!” Tanya ran to the kitchen to grab some paper towels. “It’s just water.”
“I know it’s just…” Taking the paper towel, the two began wiping the floor and the table. “I have a lot on my mind.”
“I’ll bet with everything that happened,” said Tanya, giving Vanessa a supportive smile. “Your friends are getting hurt, and you can’t do anything but watch. It would piss anyone off. I know it did with me when the RedCent guys invaded EE Tower.”
“Yeah…” Vanessa sat back on the sofa. “But this… I not only possibly lost many friends, but I was betrayed by someone I loved, someone who I thought was the one for me…” she said, distraught, as tears ran down her face.
Tanya, without saying anything more, hugged Vanessa closely. Despite them knowing each other for only a few hours, Tanya knew that Vanessa was in pain. Watching her loved ones being hurt by someone that she trusted must have been a hard truth to accept.
The doors upstairs opening and closing caught the two’s attention. Looking up, they saw Somya Spears descending, looking exhausted, like she had gone ten rounds in the ring. As she reached the ground floor, Tanya ran up to her mother, hugged her close, and guided her to the nearest chair to rest.
“Is everything alright, mom?” Tanya asked, worried.
“Yeah… just felt that I might take that long overdue vacation…” Somya answered, leaning against the soft chair with a tired sigh. “Maybe we’ll go to Paris like you wanted, Tanya…”
More steps followed, and Ares, or Mars as he insisted to be called, followed Somya, pulling his folded-up sleeves back. Unlike Somya, he didn’t seem any different from when he went upstairs to help the Sandsmarks, but the few strands of hair on his face told a different story.
“How are they?” Vanessa asked, walking up to the former God of War. “Are they ok?”
Ares turned to Vanessa. “The girl has a lot of heart, far too stubborn to let a beating keep her down.” He said with praise, impressed with the former Wonder Girl’s willpower. “Her Sumerian blood will help her heal in only a few days, but it won’t help her mental wounds after I told her the news about her mother.”
Vanessa had a lot of questions about what he had said, especially the word Sumerian; perhaps Cassie was not simply half-Olympian. However, she focused on the most important detail in his explanation. “What happened with Helena?” She asked in a worried tone. “Is she-”
“She is alive,” Ares said, but his expression shifted, frowning, making her nervous. “Physically, she will recover, she has only a few cuts and bruises. Even a human like her can heal those.”
“But?”
“But it's the spell Circe struck her with. It is unlike anything I’ve seen because it is of her creation,” Ares explained, and Vanessa ground her teeth together when she heard the name belonging to the stranger who hurt her and her loved ones. “Whatever she used, it is affecting her very soul, slowly killing her.”
“Like a virus?” Vanessa asked, and Ares nodded. “Magic can do that?”
“It does,” Ares answered. “Magic can create a nuclear bomb if the user has the patience for it. And Circe is a master at it, one of the very best and most gifted witches on the planet, so making something like this would be as easy as making a cake for her.”
Magic had never been SCYTHE’s priority, but the Commander still made them study anything related to the subject in case they had to face it. Vanessa had never expected to see it at this scale.
“Can you break it?” Vanessa asked. “Find a way to break the curse from Helena’s soul?”
Ares took a deep breath, pocketing his hands. “It’s too complex to break. I will admit Magic is not my strongest suit, but even if you bring in someone knowledgeable, it would be a while for them to break her creation,” he explained. “You need someone at her level of knowledge when it comes to magic, and I am not the best person to face her in that department.”
“Then we call for a specialist, anyone, really,” Vanessa said in desperation. “If this is like a virus, a curse, then we bring a surgeon to cut it out! Maybe Cassie can use her Justice Legion connection, or maybe you can call someone for a favor.”
Vanessa's desperation was clear. She was willing to call for the Justice Legion, the very people she swore to go against for their vigilantism, if it meant saving Helena Sandsmark, her promise be damned.
“The spell is growing far too rapidly. By the time you find someone, it will be far too late,” Ares said solemnly. “The only person in the world who can break the spell without any problem or fear of failsafe is Hecate, the Goddess of Magic. She was Circe’s mentor, and she taught her everything she could about magic. No matter how complex it is, Hecate would understand it.”
“She can help us?”
Ares shook his head. “No, she has no interest in helping the world unless it is connected to her directly, and even then, dealing with her is the worst-case scenario because there is a chance she’ll side with Circe before she even thinks of helping us.”
“So what now?” Vanessa asked, sounding defeated. “Just let Helena die? Let Cassie suffer? Let Circe win?!” she shouted angrily, finally addressing Circe by name. All of this explanation from Ares told her one thing: that the Witch had them beat, and they couldn’t do anything about it.
Ares didn’t react to her outburst, while the Spears looked worried. Tanya, for her part, tried to walk up to calm Vanessa, but the War God raised his hand to stop her, shaking his head and giving her the silent sign to let Vanessa be.
“There is one way: it will be quicker if we act fast enough, but it would take everything from all of us for it to happen,” Ares said, beginning his explanation. “There is a chain link connecting the spell, from the spell caster to Circe. This means it can be broken if we force Circe to release the chain connecting her to Helena…” he explained, letting his words be understood by the occupants in the room before finishing with one last note. “Killing Circe would also break the binding if she didn’t leave any contingencies.”
Vanessa gritted her teeth. “So we have to make her break the spell, and hopefully she doesn’t screw us over… or we kill her, and hopefully she still doesn’t screw us over even in death?” she asked, and Ares nodded. “What kind of person is willing to put in all that work? Just for revenge? On Diana, who is long gone?”
Ares shrugged and turned to the Spears, his gaze focused on Tanya, his daughter. Someone whom he never thought he would meet again was facing him, without knowledge of their blood relations.
“Possibly,” Ares answered, taking a step back. “But if there is one thing I know for sure, Circe does not put these kinds of bindings without any reason. Whatever that reason is involves Cassandra Sandsmark and whether she will choose to make Circe break the spell or kill her, tainting her forever.”
Silence came to the room, letting Ares’s words sink in for all occupants, which might have been the same words he said to the Sandsmarks.
*************************************************************
The room of Somya Spears was quiet, with the only sound being the breathing of Helena Sandsmark lying on the bed sleeping. The room was spacious, with an expensive queen-sized bed as expected from an interim CEO of one the largest companies in the world.
Seated a few feet away on a chair was Cassandra Sandsmark, dressed in fresh clothes given to her by Somya after throwing off the bloody tattered ones she had arrived in. Watching her mother closely, Cassandra’s mind was racing, especially after what Ares told her about the curse Circe placed on her mother, slowly destroying her soul bit by bit until she was nothing but a husk.
“Dammit!” In anger at their situation, she crushed the armchair, tearing its arm off like it was made of paper. If she was stronger, faster, and had the heart for it, she would have stopped the Witch, stopped her from hurting her city, the people of SCYTHE, and those caught in the crossfire, stopped her from hurting her mother…
She buried her face into her hands, tears running down her eyes as she despaired. Everything she worked on after Coast City evaporated was ground up under a very powerful enemy out for revenge.
Considering Circe’s ultimatum, her city could well be gone by the time this was over.
“Artemis… please be safe…” she whispered. She had nearly had a panic attack when she heard the news of the Amazon heading to SCYTHE HQ to stop the prison break, and then… nothing. No matter how many times she dialed her phone, there was no one answering, and she feared for the worst.
She heard her mother coughing, and Cassandra was quickly by her side. “Mom!” she called for her, holding her hand.
“Cassandra?...” Her mother said her name weakly. Her skin was becoming paler, a clear sign that the curse spell was working. “Are you… ok?”
“I’m fine, Mom,” Cassandra answered, covering the bandages hidden inside her clothes. “We’re safe. You’re safe.” she said, tightening both her hands around her mothers.
“Did you… break something?” She asked, looking at the chair behind her. “You shouldn’t be… doing that… we are guests…”
Cassandra laughed, her tears falling away. “Sorry… it’s just… it’s been a hell of a week…”
Helena touched her daughter’s cheek, noticing the bandage on it. “You’re… hurt…”
“It’s alright, Mom. Just a few bruises,” Cassandra assured. “You shouldn’t worry, you know I can take it…”
“I am your… mother, Cassandra,” Helena said, facing her daughter. “Demi-God or not… I will always be worried… scared for my little girl.”
Cassandra’s tears came back. Seeing her mother remain strong despite everything made her happy, and she was terrified of losing her.
“So… my soul is cursed?” Helena asked.
“You heard all that?”
“Can’t not… with all the swearing…” Helena noted, giving her daughter a small smile. “You shouldn’t swear at people, Cassandra, especially those who are trying to help.”
“I know, I know,” Cassandra said. She had gone off on Ares after he explained what happened to her mother, and she might have overreacted when she put all her anger on the former War God. “It’s just… I don’t want to lose you… not while we can fix this.”
Helena sat up on her bed, fully facing her daughter. “Which is why… I don’t want you to make the wrong choice.”
“I won’t,” Cassandra said with a low tone. “I will make Circe free you from this curse-”
“No, Cassandra,” Helena grabbed both of Cassandra’s hands with hers. “That is not what I meant…”
Cassandra raised her brows, confused. “Mom?”
“I heard everything… from Circe’s spell… how it works… and how it can be broken…” Helena said, shocking Cassandra. “I know you already decided what you feel you have to do.”
Cassandra didn’t answer, avoiding her mother’s disapproving gaze accusing her. Ares said the quickest way to break the binding and the spell was either by forcing Circe to break it herself or by killing her, severing the connection.
But if what Circe said was true, that Diana decided to kill her instead of making her surrender like everyone else who faced her, that means there was no chance the Witch would submit willingly. She would rather die than give the satisfaction of admitting defeat.
Which left only one solution where she could save her mother.
Helena sighed, knowing what decision her daughter might have made. She held her hand tightly and changed the subject. “I have to tell you something…”
“No, mom. You’re not giving me the ‘Dying Speech’, not while there is a chance we can save you-”
“It’s about your father,” Helena cut her off, shutting Cassandra up. “Your real father…”
Cassandra remembered Circe calling her Daughter of Enlil, not Zeus. Ares said he was a friend of her father, which confused her because Ares hated Zeus, so it wouldn’t make sense that he would help out even if they were his siblings.
Enlil…” Cassandra said the name aloud, and Helena’s eyes widened, her breath hitching when she heard the name. “Circe… she called me Daughter of Enlil… Child of the Sky...”
Helena took a deep breath, bringing her daughter closer. “Yes… that is true…” she began. “You are not Zeus’s daughter, Cassandra, nor you are an Olympian in any way… but you are in fact… Sumerian… Mesopotamian,” The elder Sandsmark brought her youngest closer and spoke carefully, as if worried that someone might hear them. “Your father is Enlil, the Sumerian God of Wind… and he was the kindest man I have ever known…”
From then on, Helena explained Cassandra’s origins as carefully as possible, pushing on even while the spell affected her. She explained how she met Enlil, a man with golden hair similar to Cassandra’s, who introduced himself as an expert in Mesopotamian history during an expedition in Iraq. They had become rivals at first due to their clashing personalities, but how that developed into respect, to eventually falling in love after a very lengthy adventure that sounded like the plot of The Mummy.
And that love resulted in Cassandra’s birth. He helped raise her with Helena for the first year and a half before he disappeared because he had Olympian enemies and had to leave them to keep them safe.
While she explained all this, Cassandra’s mind went to another piece of critical information. Her father’s true identity had never been the most important thing for her. But what made it important was what Circe told her about Diana’s true reason for coming to Gateway City. It wasn’t just settling in a ‘piss-end of a city’ the more she taught about it, the more she realized the terrifying truth behind her mentor’s reasoning for coming to the city.
Diana was sent to find Cassandra, a Sumerian Demi-God, the Olympians greatest enemy since the Titans, and eliminate her. The prophecy of the Godkiller that they had feared might have come from Cassandra, but all it did was start a long, personal, and bloody war between two women because of the gods' demands for blood.
And now, she, Artemis, and Gateway City suffered the consequences. Even after Diana’s death, Circe would not let her hatred for what had happened to her go, and if it meant destroying her mentor’s legacy, she would do it.
‘Diana…’ Cassandra thought in sadness.
*************************************************************
SCYTHE Sub Base - Industrial District:
“I am not sure how you were able to do it, but you somehow found an ever more depressing place than that HQ of yours. It makes the cell you put us in look like a five-star hotel room,” said one Pamela Isley, formerly Poison Ivy, seated in the middle of a large room behind a large table. Around her were what was left of the SCYTHE agents they had saved during the escape, all working to get the makeshift base they had hidden up and running.
Alexei Abramovici, the Bloodcrow of SCYTHE, glared at the former supervillain, not happy with her comment. He turned to one of his men and began barking orders, “You! Get the goddamn Black Room working! We are running blind here!”
‘Worker drones even without their Commander.’ Pamela looked on unimpressed at the agents. She had never been that sympathetic to the plight of cops getting killed, especially militarized ones. The once mighty and feared peacekeepers of Gateway, who went to war against all the crime syndicates and the Red Centipedes, were now a mere little squad that won’t be able to protect a mini-mart, let alone every escaped convict under the command of the White Magician.
“Man… the signal here sucks!” complained Miguel Barragan by her side, raising his phone and trying to catch any kind of signal. “Could barely talk to my boyfriend when I called him, and can’t connect to the internet,” he complained. He tried once again to call but he couldn’t find a signal. “Useless brick…”
“We are underground in a bunker previously owned by Neo-Nazis, Barragan,” Pamela noted. From what she had heard, this used to be an old RedCent hideout that SCYTHE took over after the war, using it as a smaller base in case of emergency. “Not receiving any signal is part of the appeal of the place.”
“Bunker, huh…” Miguel chuckled. The name Bunker reminded him of the super name that he picked out; the more time passed, the more convinced he was that it was the right one.
Pamela gave a confused look at his expression and shrugged it off. Turning to her right, she saw the silent Emily Sung staring off into the distance. Unlike Barragan, Emily had other matters on her mind. Whatever she sensed or saw back at SCYTHE HQ freaked her out, like seeing something she shouldn’t.
Just as Pamela was about to ask her how she was feeling, a knock on the large blast doors echoed around the base, loud enough for all to hear. Quickly, everyone felt tense, and the SCYTHE agents covered the door as Alexei signaled them to aim their weapons. After the news of the escaped convicts taking control of SCYTHE HQ and their equipment and weaponry, the agents knew that they were being haunted now by the convicts looking for revenge, so they were not taking any chances.
“Would you mind opening the door!” A familiar voice said behind the door, a voice Pamela recognized right away. “I have a bloody Amazon here, and I would like her off my fur!”
“Barbara?” Pamela realized.
“Minerva? As in the Cheetah?” Alexei asked, eyes narrowed with suspicion. “She could be working with them, with the White Magician.”
“She isn’t,” Pamela answered, glaring at the SCYTHE soldier for the accusation. “She would never ally with the psychos you had under lock and key.”
Alexei scoffed. “That woman got a cemetery filled with people who say otherwise, and she hurt the mother of someone I know.”
Before the two could argue, Miguel stood up and decided to take action. He extended his hand, forming a large arm construct from it, and grabbed the handle of the blast door. With one pull, he opened it wide. Barbara entered. Her feline form made some of the SCYTHE agents tense, and weapons were still trained on her.
“Quite the welcoming committee…” she noted in sarcasm. “Now, would you be dears and get this woman some help?” She adjusted the unconscious and bloody Artemis on her back. Her blood covered Barbara’s fur.
“Medic!” Alexei called for an agent nearby before turning to Miguel. “And you, don’t use your freaky powers until I order you to do so.”
“Sorry tin man, I don’t speak fascist,” Miguel responded with a smirk, and Alexei glared at him.
The medic quickly came to Barbara and guided her to a nearby makeshift hospital room, which had a bed and various equipment to help the SCYTHE wounded. Barbara went in haste, and gently, with the help of the medic, they placed the injured Amazon on the bed, her blood soaking the white sheets red.
“How the hell did you even find us?” Alexei asked as he and the others entered. “I made sure I covered all our steps.”
“You did,” Barbara noted, stepping back to let the medic check on Artemis. She turned to Alexei and pointed at her nose. “But one of you has a very special pheromone that I can smell for miles,” she said with a smile as she turned her gaze to Pamela. “Still with those rose scents around you.”
The redhead smiled. “Maybe it’s that mark you left on me.”
“More than you think, Pammy.”
“Christ…” the medic gasped, catching everyone’s attention. “How is she still alive? And how long has she been like this?” He asked, examining the injured Amazon.
Her armor was wholly wrecked, beyond repair. Her headpiece was half broken, and the gauntlets and braces on her arms and legs were dented and unusable. Her injuries were severe: open wounds, slash marks, and burn marks were all over her body, and judging from blows on her armor, she might have had a few broken bones as well.
“Didn’t bother to look at the time with some of the grunts that were sent after us,” Barbara answered, leaning on a nearby chair as fatigue finally set in for her. “But these Amazons are too stubborn to die, and I know that from experience…”
The number of times Barbara thought she had beaten Diana only for the Amazon to get back up and beat her back was many, and it frustrated the woman to no end, but now she couldn’t help but be in awe at the resilience of these warriors.
“Her Amazon gifts will heal her,” Barbara noted. “But I am not sure how long it will take…”
“I doubt it will take more than a few days at least…” the medic noted, bringing out some bandages and wrapping them around her arms. “She will need a miracle to even walk out of here on her own two feet.”
“Uhmm…” Everyone in the room turned to Emily Sung, who stood by the doorway. “I… I think I can help her heal faster.”
Barbara and the medic gave her an odd look. To better explain it, Emily brought her hands together, and a small flame began to form from her palm. However, they weren’t bright orange flames; they were blue flames, and they didn’t feel any heat from them.
“I developed this technique while training,” said Emily. “It's a fire spell that doesn’t burn, but it heals people. I first used it on Miguel when he hurt his hands, and it was instantaneous,” she explained, and Miguel showed his fully healed hand as if he was demonstrating it. “But this will be the first time I will heal someone with this severe of injuries…”
Pamela and Barbara looked at the blue flames with wide eyes. In Pamela’s case, she was told that Emily had powers, and from Miguel’s description, she had the power of all the elements. However, seeing it firsthand and feeling it from just that tiny flame made her sense there was power behind it, warmth, like the sun.
“Do it,” Barbara said, taking a step back. “At this point, if we need magic to get her back into the fight, we better get to it before we lose her for real.” She turned to the shocked medic. This was the first time he would ever see magic in play. “And you, guide her in whatever wounds need to be healed.”
The medic nodded. It was better than nothing. With his guidance and Miguel’s support by her side, Emily went to work to heal Wonder Woman, who was in a state of life and death if they didn’t work fast enough, all while Circe and her crew were out there terrorizing the city.
“What’s the news out there?” Alexei asked after the three left the infirmary room. “We are in the dark here, and I couldn’t radio in anyone with the pieces of junk we got. Not even my brother, who was trying to get as many agents as possible.”
“Brother?” Barbara asked before she realized who his brother was. Her expression became solemn. She remembered the Warhammer who stayed behind to slow Circe and her crew, giving Barbara a chance to escape with Artemis on her back. “The guy with the Hammer…”
Alexei furrowed his brows, noticing the change in her expression. “What happened to my brother?”
Barbara took a deep breath and began explaining everything that had happened: the White Magician’s true identity, her taking over SCYTHE HQ, her ultimatum to Wonder Girl, and finally, Anatoly Abromivici’s sacrifice to save them.
*************************************************************
Somewhere in Gateway…
With the loss of SCYTHE and their headquarters, the surviving agents didn’t have the necessary support from the intel agents in the Black Room to fight off against the newly revived Red Centipedes, now grown more powerful with the help of the escaped convicts, more than happy to exact revenge.
With the bridges closed off, SCYTHE’s weakened state, and Wonder Woman being presumed dead, the city had been thrown into chaos. Streets filled with criminals and looters taking full advantage of what had happened, stealing anything from everyone across the island.
Red Centipedes roamed the streets with military trucks, taken from SCYTHE after their HQ had fallen to the White Magician’s control, making full use of their hardware to hunt down any surviving agent, delivering the message that they were the new peacekeepers of Gateway.
“Let me go!”
A woman, a worker from Taco Whiz, was being dragged from the streets by a group of RedCent grunts. Taken into a nearby corner, the RedCent dropped the worker on the dirty ground. Their eyes had terrible intentions behind them.
“Come on, man,” one RedCent grunt said from behind to his buddy. “We are supposed to find those SCYTHE fuckers, not mess around.”
“You’re serious?” The buddy looked at his friend like he was crazy. “We’ve been locked for months in SCYTHE’s cells; we can have a few minutes of fun.”
“Please! Don’t do this!” The woman screamed, tears falling from her eyes, afraid of what they would do to her. She tried to stand up and run away but was quickly pushed back down on the pavement.
The RedCent approached the woman, who crawled away from them in fear. “Come on, girl, I just need to release all this stress after being locked up for so long!” He proclaimed, giving the woman a leery look before turning to his buddy. “Hey man, I can share! Maybe we can get someone else from the street-”
The RedCent stopped speaking, catching his breath for a moment after he saw his buddy lying on the ground face first, knocked out cold. Looking up, his eyes widened in shock when he saw the person standing before him. “You’re… you were supposed to be dead?!”
Covered in heavy bandages and wrecked NIGHT armor, and carrying a mace in his hand and a pissed-off look on his face, Commander Hector Hall stood before the RedCent grunt like a dark spectre coming back to life. Kicking the knocked-out buddy aside, the Commander looked between the grunt and the terrified woman before he hardened his glare at the RedCent.
“Stay back!” The RedCent grunt aimed his weapon, hands shaking in fear. “I said stay the fuck back-”
In a moment, Hall moved at such a speed he looked like a blur, cutting the distance between the two. With one swing of his mace, he smacked him squarely on the head, sending him to the ground.
Hall turned to the woman he saved, who looked at him in horror. “Go… get to safety…”
Without another word, the woman ran toward the exit and into the streets, away from the alley. Now alone with the two RedCents, Hall grabbed the knocked-out buddy and woke him up, making the man see the bandaged-up Hall looking down at him with hateful eyes.
“You… I want you to send your boss a message…” Hall began, making him face the Commander. “Tell the White Magician, Circe, that I am declaring war on her and on anyone who stands by her side.” He turned and walked up to the other grunt, who was crawling away from the Commander in fear, grabbing his bleeding head. He begged for his life, but Hall ignored his pleas. “And this, this is for my men that you Centipedes have killed…
He lifted his bloody mace and brought it down like a hammer on the begging Red Centipede as his buddy looked on in horror. He lifted it up once more to reveal the man’s head was crushed like a watermelon.
Commander Hector Hall was still alive, and as long as he was still breathing, SCYTHE would remain standing to fight against all threats against Gateway City.

2024.05.16 08:34 loafsi what to expect in performance discussion?

hi everyone
fyi, this is my first ever work experience.
tomorrow, i have a 30 min performance discussion with out hr manager, and 2 of my supervisors.
i get nervous as this is my first time and im not sure what to expect with performance discussions or reviews. i asked the closest workmate if she has something like that scheduled, and she said none.
i got more nervous thinking that it's just me.
is this one of their ways to fire someone?
even if im a first timer, i've grown a lot in doing my job. i do what im told to do (i even get blamed for something i didn't do and just shut my mouth about it)
im not very good in conversations but i know how to have a little chat. i can work unsupervised and with a team.
people who have more experience with this, what do i expect?
i feel bothered now and thinking so much about my performance.
help ya girl out

2024.05.16 08:33 lovin-it755 Oura recalculates sleep parameters retrospectively?

Hi everyone,
I have a relatively low Deep Sleep, currently 30-60 min per night, so I do my best to monitor it quite closely, and even a few min deviation makes a difference.
So recently I noticed that when I wake up the first time and see in Oura app that my REM is not high (e.g. REM 1:10 and Deep Sleep 0:40), I can choose to extend my bedtime to another 30 min.
Sometimes it indeed adds some REM, as it usually happens closer to the wake up time - no questions asked. HOWEVER for some reason Deep Sleep is also recalculated and can add another 10-20 minutes, despite all these dark-blue areas are concentrated in the 1st half of the night.
I think we all understand that Oura measures prime parameters like temperature, heart rate, movements, etc., to predict what would be the brain electrical activity in Hertz, thus NREM, REM and others.
But is it really so inaccurate and volatile? Happy to hear your thoughts.
PS: heard that Whoop has a higher accuracy - has anyone made a test?

2024.05.16 08:23 PromptDry2455 Day 1

20F, 220 lbs, 5’1. I started phentermine today. I got prescribed 37.5 mg but I’m taking half for the time being. Side effects: dry mouth/throat, weird taste in mouth (from the dry mouth), little bit of dizziness, slight headache, elevated heart rate, excessive sweating & ENERGY.
I’m writing ALOT because seeing other people’s experiences helped me before I started.
I took it at 8:30 am, ate a banana and peanut butter at 9:30 ish. At about 11 am my mouth got dry and I started to feel super amped up so I decided to check my heart rate and it was at 130 bpm😅 i took advantage and I got some things done. My heart rate fluctuated through the day (I commented a picture so you can see). I got a hunger cue at about 2 pm, so I ate string cheese and that filled me up until 7 pm lol. I noticed excessive sweating also, but only when I got hot. It’s hard to explain. I obviously sweat when I’m hot, but this was way more than I usually do. And then I crashed at about 4 pm. I got so tired I took a 3 hour nap?? Which I wasn’t expecting, but it could be because I cut it in half and because it’s the first day. The headaches have been coming and going. Will update again tomorrow!

Introduction

Buckle up as we dive deep into the stats, odds, and a sprinkle of humor to predict the outcome of this electrifying NBA clash.

Team Overview

Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks, led by their superstar Luka Dončić, have been a force to reckon with this season. With a record that speaks volumes about their consistency and prowess, the Mavericks are not just playing basketball; they're orchestrating a symphony on the court. Their offensive and defensive strategies have been on point, making them a formidable opponent for any team.

Oklahoma City Thunder

On the other side, we have the Oklahoma City Thunder, a team known for its resilience and never-say-die attitude. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at the helm, the Thunder have shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season. However, consistency has been their Achilles' heel, often leading to unpredictable performances.

Head-to-Head Analysis

When it comes to head-to-head encounters, the Mavericks have had the upper hand in recent times. In their last five meetings, Dallas has emerged victorious in three games, while Oklahoma City has managed to clinch two. This slight edge gives the Mavericks a psychological advantage heading into this game.

Player Statistics

Dallas Mavericks Key Players

  • Luka Dončić: Averaging 28.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 8.5 assists per game, Luka is the heart and soul of the Mavericks. His ability to control the game and make clutch plays makes him a constant threat.
  • Kristaps Porziņģis: The "Unicorn" has been averaging 20.1 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. His presence in the paint and ability to stretch the floor with his shooting make him a key player for Dallas.

Oklahoma City Thunder Key Players

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Averaging 24.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game, Shai is the driving force behind the Thunder's offense. His versatility and scoring ability make him a player to watch.
  • Josh Giddey: The rookie sensation has been averaging 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game. His all-around game and basketball IQ have been impressive, making him a valuable asset for the Thunder.

Betting Odds

Let's talk numbers, shall we? According to the latest odds from DraftKings and FanDuel, the Mavericks are the favorites to win this game. Here's a breakdown of the odds:
  • DraftKings: Dallas Mavericks at 1.54, Oklahoma City Thunder at 2.54
  • FanDuel: Dallas Mavericks at 1.56, Oklahoma City Thunder at 2.52
These odds indicate that the bookmakers have more faith in the Mavericks' ability to secure a win. But as we all know, in sports, anything can happen.

Game Dynamics

Offensive and Defensive Strategies

The Mavericks' offense revolves around Luka Dončić's playmaking abilities. Their pick-and-roll game, combined with Porziņģis' ability to shoot from the perimeter, makes them a tough team to defend. Defensively, the Mavericks rely on a mix of zone and man-to-man defense, with an emphasis on protecting the paint.
The Thunder, on the other hand, rely heavily on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's scoring and playmaking. Their offense is more dynamic, with a lot of movement and off-ball screens. Defensively, the Thunder are known for their aggressive style, often forcing turnovers and fast-break opportunities.

Key Matchups

  • Luka Dončić vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: This is the marquee matchup of the game. Both players are the primary ball handlers for their respective teams and will be looking to outdo each other.
  • Kristaps Porziņģis vs. Thunder's Big Men: Porziņģis' ability to stretch the floor will be a challenge for the Thunder's big men. How they handle him will be crucial to their defensive strategy.

Prediction

Drumroll, please! After analyzing the stats, odds, and team dynamics, it's time to make a prediction. While the Thunder have shown they can pull off surprises, the Mavericks' consistency, star power, and favorable odds make them the likely winners of this encounter.

Why the Mavericks Will Win

  1. Luka Dončić's Brilliance: Luka's ability to control the game and make clutch plays gives the Mavericks a significant edge.
  2. Home Court Advantage: Playing at home, the Mavericks will have the support of their fans, which can be a game-changer.
  3. Better Odds: The bookmakers' odds favor the Mavericks, indicating a higher probability of them winning.

Final Score Prediction

Dallas Mavericks 112 - Oklahoma City Thunder 104

Lunetten, Utrecht, Netherlands, a higher density green suburb?
https://preview.redd.it/8yds0x4mdq0d1.png?width=1482&format=png&auto=webp&s=92f6de754e519475997b6af36b838a95b80ae404
This might end up as a bit of a weird post. But mostly a very long one. I don’t think this place I’m presenting here is heaven, but without SuburbHeaven Thursday this subreddit may give viewers the idea that we’re all just hating, and this case study may help illustrate some of the alternatives and what one could like and dislike about them. I know that yelling “the Netherlands!” on any urbanist platform is overdone and so 2 years ago, but I also feel like the available “Netherlands!” content is giving people an incomplete picture. So I’m going to discuss a suburban neighborhood, Lunetten, in Utrecht, where I’ve lived for about a year now. It’s a place built in the 70’s and 80’s, housing about 11,000 people in 5,500ish homes, for a density of just over 4,000 people/km2, 10,000 per square mile.
Obviously that’s pretty dense. In a North American context Lunetten may count more as an example of the “missing middle” than a true suburb, but I feel it still works as a comparison because it is situated at the edge of a city* and it offers features people often look to the suburbs for, like a low noise environment, plenty of green and child oriented features. So, what can we find in this example that people may like or dislike in their suburban areas?
If you want to look along on your favorite online map: 52° 3'53 N, 5° 8'13 E.
Traffic and transit
Lunetten has a clear main road (middle left image, bright pink line on the map) that serves as the main way of getting around by car. It is the only road where the limit is 50 km/h (30 mph), not 30 km/h. The main road has priority over all side roads, indicated by the exits or all side streets being raised a bit. The speed bump automatically makes one slow down to yield to the traffic on the main road. In the places where people’s front doors open towards this main ring there are service roads for them to do their parking and loading and such on. In the busiest part of the ring the road was raised a few meters so pedestrians and cyclists can pass underneath through tunnels. So while the maximum speed cars can go on most of the roads in this place is quite low, the time to destination is pretty good, because a lot was done to ensure a good flow of traffic.
A more debatable feature is the lack of through-traffic options. If you want to leave Lunetten by car there are two roads leading West, connecting to the rest of the city and to the 70km/h raised road that serves as the exit from the city. There is also one small road going South-East along the train line, and that’s it. Despite being next to two highways Lunetten has no direct on- and off-ramp accessing it, and even no direct way across the highways for cars. Cyclists and pedestrians do have options leading in basically all directions. On the one hand this does wonders for how quiet the neighborhood is, but on the other hand that one road taking people in and out of the city is still more prone to blocking than a direct ramp to the highway, so car owners will experience some travel delays because of this.
Lunetten is no public transit hotspot, but there are like two bus lines both going to more connected places including the city’s central hub, and the train station is two stops from said hub as well, which happens to be the biggest train station in the Netherlands.
Public Spaces
Even by Dutch standards Lunetten has a pretty urban-ish density. There’s a mix of mostly rowhouses and midrise apartment buildings, mostly gallery flats up to 5 stories tall, including the ground floor. To give you an idea of Dutch standards for density: I grew up in a commuter town of about the same size as Lunetten, housing 1,000 less people (present day numbers) on roughly 1.25 times the surface**. But what I find interesting is what that space is used for. In Lunetten, on the outer ring of the neighborhood, adjacent to the two highways, busy raised road and train line that surround the neighborhood, there are quite sizable parks (bottom right picture). There’s plenty of space for dogs to run off their leash, there are football/play fields, there are two skate parks, two ponds for amphibians to spend the winter in (granted: that’s an amenity most people could live without) and an entire petting zoo, in case you had doubts this was a suburb. Together with a football/soccer club, a tennis club, some allotment gardens and a small business park near the train station these parks take up most of the space where traffic noise is an issue. There is room for recreation and other daytime activities in the noisy bits (there are sound screens, but that’s not blocking all of the noise) so that peoples’ homes can mostly be in the quiet parts, shielded from noise by trees and stuff. And then there’s the neighborhood interior. You’ll see on the map a few yellow locations marked as “playground/square”, but in reality many, probably most, of the dark green “courtyards” contain a little playground too. All of the courtyards have grass, most if not all of them have trees, many of those trees being taller than the midrises. Some of the courtyards feature parking space as well***. The middle right image is far from the greenest example. The combination of the parks and the courtyards make Lunetten much greener than the actual smallish town I lived in mentioned previously. Plenty of birds live here too, including a bunch of water birds who enjoy the ditches and canals. In the smallish town much more of the space was simply used for row houses with pretty large gardens, and in the newer parts a bunch of four home and two home units and free standing homes as well****.
Which brings me to the reality check. With all these pedestrianized public spaces around and loads of playgrounds, is Lunetten actually a good neighborhood to raise kids? From what I can tell, opinions are mixed. Because one thing that does tend to come with density of people is density of crime. In my year here I have personally witnessed a man snorting coke off his bicycle saddle, in broad daylight, in the middle of a bike lane near a skatepark with playing children in it*****. There is also the occasional lost shopping cart dumped in a canal and apparently there was a pretty shocking supermarket robbery just before I moved in. Especially if your budget only allows for an apartment and not a house I could imagine feeling a little scared to let young children wander around near the house on their own, also maybe because of the canals and ditches they might fall into. The sweet spot age for children in Lunetten is probably around 9-12, old enough to be trusted with their own safety around water and some minor drug use and vandalism, yet young enough to fully enjoy all the outdoor play space.
The blame for the crime is often put on the street pattern that is said to attract drug dealers and the like who love having good get away options, and the many green public spaces and nice dry apartment building entrances are certainly not the worst place a homeless person could go to for another night of hopefully not being bothered by the police. More recently developed neighborhoods have tried to avoid these effects by using a “cauliflower pattern” for their streets, branched streets ending in a bunch of (at least to cars) dead ends. The downside of that pattern seems to be less sense of community. The more direct neighbors you have, the more interaction. That’s why cul-de-sacs can be so isolating after all. Lunetten is not the worst crimey part of its parent by a long shot, but it’s noticeable enough to be worth mentioning.
A planned neighborhood
The big advantage I think Lunetten has over a lot of other places is that it was designed in one go. The land it was built on was part of the Dutch Water Line******, and had to stay free of buildings and obstructions that would block the firing lines of defending artillery. (That’s what the two weird shapes in the northern park are: old fortifications, called Lunette 3 and 4. Hence the suburb’s name.) When the line was legally disbanded in 1963 Utrecht started planning to build a new neighborhood here. Because of the highways (current configuration built at the same time as the suburb) and the train line that surround the place it was very clear to where the neighborhood would stretch. And it shows. The suburb is designed as a cohesive whole. There’s a neighborhood shopping center (bottom left image and the main soft pink blob on the map) at the heart of the neighborhood. It has two supermarkets, some small other shops, several small fast food/lunch places in different styles, two bicycle shops and repair places (it’s the Netherlands), a restaurant (there’s another one on one of the forts in the park, which doubles as a sort of social work place), a community center which houses some clubs and such (not the scouts, those have a place in one of the parks) as well as a library. There’s even a bar (I think, I should maybe go there ones), and some space where small neighborhood markets and events turn up with some regularity. The other main soft pink and yellow blob in a convenient central location on the map is two elementary schools*******. In many more organically grown neighborhoods or places the amenities wouldn’t be so conveniently centralized or would eventually be “centralized” on the outskirt of town.
The Bijlmer comparison, what not to do
Another interesting point of comparison I think is the Bijlmer (Bijlmermeer officially) in Amsterdam, another green neighborhood designed as one big plan outside of its parent city’s core, yet quite different. The Bijlmer is nationally famous as a bit of a ghetto, a place where you don’t want to live. (To be fair: the plane falling down on it didn’t help its case.) A lot of work has been done to improve the place, but its initial “ghettoization” was surprising because the Bijlmer was never intended to even be particularly affordable, but more of a vertical suburb, spacious family apartments (around 120 m2) for 100,000 people or more in large highrise buildings with between them plenty of green. A quiet place, with quick access to the city, using density to save on land use and travel time. There are three main differences I see between the struggling Bijlmer and “doing pretty well” Lunetten: 1 The Bijlmer has a higher density through the use of massive apartment buildings, literally and figuratively increasing the distance between people’s homes and the public space. 2 The Bijlmer is a much bigger place, I’m not sure they ever got to those 100,000 inhabitants, but it certainly loses that towny vibe. 3 They’ve been correcting this in the rebabilitation, but as designed the Bijlmer had basically no amenities. It wasn’t a town or city, it was people storage, housing for people who mentally lived several kilometers away but couldn’t afford it there. See the rest of this subreddit for why that doesn’t work for many people.
Interdependency with other suburbs
Looking back on growing up in that smallish town I notice that there really isn’t that much of a difference in amenities. The town offered much of the same things Lunetten does. But Lunetten’s status as a suburb gives it a big advantage over that town. Because while suburbs mostly serve themselves, they also serve each other. Take sports: there’s a football and tennis club and two indoor sports halls in Lunetten, but what if I want to swim or throw spears instead? Well, there’s a pool in a suburb to the North, as well as an athletics stadium. After elementary school there’s no middle/high school in Lunetten, but there are in nearby neighborhoods, and there are even college options******** spread throughout different suburbs and neighborhoods. These things are closer than they are in a small town not because the suburb is associated with a city center, but because it is associated with other suburbs. There are things I liked about the commuter town, but having to take either an honestly too long bike trip or a bus ride that only went whenever it was not convenient for me whenever I wanted to do something my town didn’t provide, like going to school, wasn’t one of them. And I say that even as a spoiled person whose commuter town at least had buses and bicycle paths.
Conclusion
And that is I think the main takeaway from this absolute wall of text: suburbs don’t have to be places where there’s nothing to do and you feel disconnected from the world. That’s the entire point of living in a suburb instead of in a town: there are other places nearby. There is a balance to be found between private space, public space and connectivity. Essentially, in a neighborhood of 10,000 people, for every 100x100 meters of public space or amenities either every person gets 1 square meter less private space or everybody gets maybe a few meters of extra travel distance on the average trip. Lunetten probably provides too little private space for the taste of many North American suburbanites, but it does show I think that there is quite a bit of room on those sliders. A green place with amenities sort of near other places can still be built with more spacious houses. (Just maybe go easy on the sea of lawns?) And that’s when all the separated bike lanes and other urbanist talking points really start making sense: when you found the balance between having your own place, having local places worth going to and being close enough to other places worth going to, then you want a good way to get there.
The other takeaway I feel is that it pays to design neighborhoods as a unit. And that’s another reason why suburbs can be better than towns. A town of 10,000 residents can’t plan ahead for the next 10,000, but a city of several hundred thousand people can. And it pays off. Don’t lose track of the human scale though, planning 10,000 residents ahead might actually be better than planning 100,000 or 1,000,000 residents ahead when it comes to suburbs. It is still supposed to feel like a quiet little place with maybe a bit of its own identity.
* On the other side of one of the highways there’s a bit of forest tied to several historic estates that’s very nice for walking in as well as a golf course half as big as this entire neighborhood, this really is the edge of town and will be for the foreseeable future.
** I’ve also lived in several other cities since then, near the city center, further out and on the far edge in a highrise neighborhood. Honestly I might still prefer the smaller cities I’ve lived in, being near everything the city offers and even to some of the stuff outside of it. But work took me back to a larger city (pretend I said “less tiny” if you’re from Mexico City or something), and I could honestly have landed in a much worse place than this particular suburb.
*** Fun fact: this is one of the very few neighborhoods of Utrecht where parking is currently still free, because of enough parking space and enough distance to the city center. It really is a suburb.
**** In the 90’s a style of more expensive neighborhoods called “Vinex” set standards for the ratio of more expensive to cheaper houses in those neighborhoods, and ever since both contractors and local politicians refuse to let go of those ratios everywhere. A newer, competing vision is that we shouldn’t be building new neighborhoods at all, just filling in the gaps in our cities. So now we mostly build quite large houses, but only in very small spaces. We’re still not sure where that massive housing shortage came from, somehow.
***** I stopped and addressed him because I thought he was having bicycle trouble, chain ran off or something. Quite a chill dude, very apologetic, but still maybe not exactly what the average parent is looking for in a neighbor.
****** More accurately: Holland Waterline, because it wasn’t the only Dutch waterline, but it was the main one defending the part called Holland. But that sounds a bit off in English.
******* We have a bit of a weird school system, for every public elementary school there is at least one other founded on religious grounds or based on some specific didactic theory. That’s why there are two schools in the same central location instead of just one bigger school or two in separate locations.
******** If I start going into the differences in advanced education systems we’ll be here all day, but there are options within cycling distance ranging from trade school to university, depending on the field you actually want to study *********.
********* I could start using other symbols instead of these confusingly long rows of asterisks, but where would be the fun in that?

When is Mitral Valve Repair Surgery for the Heart Performed?
Mitral valve repair is a surgery performed to correct the mitral valve, ensuring it functions properly. It is a safe and effective method without resorting to cutting the breast bone. It has long-term benefits, preserves heart function, and avoids the need for anticoagulation. It is a less invasive procedure that experienced surgeons and teams should perform. Dr. Sujay Shad, a senior heart surgeon at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, one of the best Heart hospital in Delhi, strongly advises patients to consult with an experienced doctor before undergoing this surgery, ensuring they receive the best possible care and guidance.
Read on for more details on this surgery!
https://preview.redd.it/zv4iwhm0cq0d1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90602f34dceff23425fc22b99f46ed4bcc284d5e
What is a Mitral Valve?
The heart’s Mitral valve is situated between the heart’s left upper and lower chambers. It acts as a one-directional valve that ensures blood circulation in the right direction. When the valve opens, it enables blood flow from the lung and left atrium to the left ventricle. When the left ventricle contracts to pump the blood into the body, the mitral valve closes to prevent blood flow backwards into the lungs. Blood flows from the lungs via the heart and throughout the body.
When does one need a Mitral Valve Repair Surgery?
Mitral valve disease develops when the valves in the heart’s upper chamber do not open or close properly, allowing blood to flow backwards out of the heart or restricting blood flow to the left ventricle. Hence, mitral valve damage or deformity hinders its functioning, and the person may need surgery to repair it.
Symptoms of Mitral valve diseases are not always noticeable until they become severe.
Some of the symptoms of mitral valve disease may involve the following:
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
  • Heart murmur
  • Swelling or oedema in ankles or feet
  • Arrhythmia (abnormal rhythm of the heartbeat).
Mitral Valve Repair Surgery Procedure
The Mitral Valve Repair in India began after several tests, such as a blood test, physical exam, and medical history review, were conducted to determine whether the person’s health was well enough. The patient will also be given specific instructions to prepare for the surgery, such as fasting for a certain period before the procedure and stopping certain medications.
In this surgery, the patient is under general anaesthesia. The surgeon will create small cuts on the chest, opening the middle of the chest at the breastbone to access the heart. Depending on the severity and type of the disease, the surgery may involve excess tissue removal from the valve and separating or reconnecting the leaflets of the mitral valves.
The surgeon may perform tightening of the valve by following techniques:
  • Annuloplasty: In this procedure, the ring surrounding the mitral valve is known as the annulus. It is reinforced or tightened to reshape the valve so it can work properly.
  • Mitral valve clip: In this procedure, a small metal valve clip is inserted via a catheter into the heart from an artery, leg, or groyne. This clip helps reshape the mitral valve. It is a minimally invasive procedure for patients at higher risk of complications.
Benefits of these Heart Surgeries:
  • Minimal pain
  • Less risk of wound infection
  • Fast healing
  • Smaller scars
  • Quicker recovery.
Recovery after Mitral Valve Repair
After the surgery, the patient must stay in the intensive care unit for 24 hours for further monitoring. The patient may need to stay in the hospital for several days based on their recovery and the severity of the disease. Recovery may take several months, and the patient can resume their regular activities only after the doctor’s advice.
If you have any doubts or questions, consult an expert heart surgeon, Dr. Sujay Shad, at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Heart Hospital in Delhi, for more details on this surgery, and its cost in detail!
