2024.05.15 17:41 zzenny151 [q] Investing in Gamma cases

I just sold a knife on the steam market for $250 and while looking for cases to buy and open i realized that some of them are steadily increasing in price. The one that caught my eye is the Gamma case wich from the start of 2024 went up from 12cents to $2.75 still increasing by 25 cents the last month. What are your opinions on such investment considering i'll buy probably 90 or 100 of them?
(PS: I know i can't turn Steam money into real money so in the future i'll probably buy a knife and gloves to keep or maybe to sell for actual money on Csfloat or similar sites)

2024.05.15 17:41 reddituser11795 Is my old Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens the problem?

Is my old Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens the problem?
Hi! I have a Canon Rebel T5i that I bought in 2013, and use a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM that I got in 2015. I used to use the camera a lot, mostly for (very amateur) portraits and loved the sharpness and bokeh (and low price point.)
I haven't been using it as much in the last few years though, in part because I've noticed a weird sort of pixelated pink and green grainy effect that makes the photos look really low-res. See below photo for example:
https://preview.redd.it/k7vbeqz90m0d1.png?width=1357&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd9b84f974a832fcec9b2a345e951b40cff975dd
My assumption was that I have a very old camera and a very old lens and something has probably degraded or broken, since I haven't changed anything about the settings I'm using. Is this a common problem people have with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM?
I'm now in a place where I could afford to replace it with a nicer lens, but if just buying a new version of this one for under $100 would do the trick, I'd certainly rather just do that, since I loved the photos it used to get me!
Also, if this seems like a problem with the camera itself, I don't want to waste time/money on a new lens if I just need a new camera body (which would be fair, considering I've had it for over a decade now.)
Thanks so much in advance for your advice, I'm very camera ignorant and incredibly grateful for any advice!

2024.05.15 17:39 Joshh170 Pokemon Reveals New Giant Lapras Plush That Can Be Pre-Ordered Now

Pokemon Reveals New Giant Lapras Plush That Can Be Pre-Ordered Now
The Pokemon Company announced that the popular Generation 1 WateIce-type Pokemon Lapras is getting a giant plush, and it's available to pre-order right now for a limited time. The new Lapras plush could make for a great holiday gift for Pokemon fans later this year, as it's expected to be released sometime in December 2024.
Lapras is one of the original 151 Pokemon in the series, making it a fan-favorite Pokemon for multiple generations. Although it can't evolve into any other Pokemon, Lapras can use Gigantamax if it has a Gigantamax factor in Pokemon Sword and Shield. In the Alolan region, Lapras can be seen as a gentle and helpful contributor to Alolan society, with the Pokemon often helping fishers and travelers navigate the region's waters. Lapras is present in all mainline Pokemon titles, and players may capture Lapras in the Pokemon GO mobile game as well.
The Pokemon franchise's official Twitter account confirms the giant Lapras plush is available to pre-order now at the Pokemon Center online store until Monday, June 3. Priced at $300, the Lapras plush stands tall at 27 inches and measures about 34 inches long, making it one of the biggest plush products offered by The Pokemon Company to date. What's more, the Lapras plush is embroidered to emphasize the Pokemon's prominent features, such as the large gray shell on its back. The Pokemon Company states that the plush is large enough for fans to sit and rest on, similarly to how players can use Lapras as a Ride Pokemon in Pokemon titles like Pokemon Sun and Moon.
Pokemon Center Opens Pre-Orders for Giant Lapras Plush
Costs $300 Pre-orders available until June 3 Measurements: 34 x 24 x 27 in
Pokemon fans who pre-order the new Lapras plush can expect it to ship sometime in mid-December 2024. Standard shipping will take roughly five to nine days, depending on where the customer is located in the United States. Fortunately, users in the United Kingdom and Canada may still purchase a Lapras plush by shopping at the UK and Canada Pokemon Center online stores. The Pokemon Company is consistent with releasing its products in the aforementioned regions, with one of the most recent releases being the new Marill and Dragonite Squishmallow plushes.
Lapras' popularity means that fans can expect more official merchandise from The Pokemon Company in the future, and the Pokemon will certainly return in future game entries. In addition, Lapras fans in the Pokemon community will likely continue to make custom designs and original concepts for the Pokemon. One recent example saw a Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player design a convergent form of Lapras with a unique aesthetic to call their own. The convergent form gives Lapras different abilities and traits compared to the original form from Generation 1.

2024.05.15 17:38 Ok_Respect_8831 ESG Solutions & Overview on Vertex Resource Group ($VTX)

In today’s world, it’s becoming clear that focusing on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) solutions is key for businesses to succeed in the long run. When companies consider ESG factors in their decisions, it often leads to better financial results. Studies show that doing so can boost equity returns by a significant 63%.
What's even more interesting is that younger investors are supporting this idea. They're willing to put their money where their values are, even if it means sacrificing some of their wealth. This really shows a strong belief in supporting issues like sustainability and social responsibility.
Looking at the bigger picture, the need for ESG action is urgent. Take carbon emissions, for example. They're a major contributor to climate change, which affects everything from nature to people's health to the economy. So, it's not just about doing what's right—it's about ensuring businesses can thrive in a world facing these pressing environmental challenges.
In particular, the growth in ESG awareness is positively impacting certain sectors, such as the Solutions segment within the Environmental Technology sector. This segment includes critical services like environmental consulting and field services, which are essential for industries such as Energy, Utilities, and Mining. As businesses increasingly prioritize sustainability, the demand for these environmental solutions is on the rise.
One Company to look at is Vertex Resource Group ($VTX), a top North American provider of integrated environmental solutions. What sets $VTX apart is its commitment to ESG principles which are woven into its business model. By aligning with ESG values, Vertex ensures its customers receive comprehensive solutions that not only meet their business needs but also contribute to sustainability goals.
$VTX stands out as an ESG problem-solving leader, recognizing the crucial role of sustainable supply chain growth in shaping a brighter future. We can see this in their dual-phase ESG approach firstly, reducing operational intensity, and secondly, expanding supply chain solutions. Overall, Vertex’s approach promotes self-improvement while fostering sustainable practices throughout the supply chain, reflecting their dedication to driving meaningful change and sustainability across industries.
Looking forward, $VTX has stated they have many ESG goals and commitments planned for this year. One I’d like to highlight is that Vertex is planning to achieve 10% annual supply chain service revenue growth, offering enhanced ESG solutions to clients. This is significant because it demonstrates Vertex's proactive stance in advancing ESG initiatives within their business operations. I’ll link $VTX’s Investor Page here for anyone looking to learn more.

2024.05.15 17:38 thePTwizard How To Grow A Personal Training Business.

Hi Reddit
I’ve written this to help new trainers grow their business.
I see more fluff than ever in the industry, trainers who want can’t grow and business due to a low level of service yet blame the “quality of the clientele”
Remember, we are in a service industry and when running any service-based business, consistently overdelivering on what's promised is vital for growth.
Below is the exact process I take clients through in their first week of training.
You'll notice 11 pieces of contact within the first 7 days, this is more value in 7 days than most trainers deliver in a year.
7 days before the first session:
  1. Online questionnaire is sent via email or Notion.
  2. Price list sent via iMessage.
  3. Food logging software sent via email.
  4. Initial body composition metrics are taken.
  5. Cancellation policy is sent via iMessage.
2 days before the first session:
  1. Client is asked to share Apple Health data.
1 hour before the first session:
  1. Client file sent via Apple shared note or Notion.
(Past this point, any changes I make to that file will automatically be edited on the client's phone.)
24 hours post first session:
  1. Check-in sent via iMessage.
(For some clients, this will be the first time experiencing DOMS, so reassurance that it's normal will go a long way.)
  1. Interactive program gets sent via Excel / Google Sheets / Numbers / PDF.
30 minutes before the weekend meal out:
  1. Restaurant menu with all the macronutrients edited on and the best choice highlighted gets sent over via iMessage.
  2. Alcohol guide sent via Apple shared note.
(Sending this over 30 minutes before their meal will dramatically increase compliance.)
I hope you steal all of this and use it on your clientele, why? Because the world needs great personal trainers.
Speak soon
William The PT Wizard.

2024.05.15 17:38 nkoreaishot Pre-approval letter and rates process question

Hi everyone,
I've received the pre-approval letter from my broker which states the maximum purchase price with conditions (estimated property tax and condo fees) I qualify for.
When I met with the broker he ran me through what to expect for rates for a 5yr fixed/30yr amortized mortgage - roughly 5.1 - 5.3.
At what point in the process do I receive more information regarding my rate options? Ie. 5yr vs 3, different lenders, etc?
I thought that would be included in the pre approval letter, but is it too premature given I don't even have an offer in with a property? Is that process only done during the financing conditions stage?
Thanks

2024.05.15 17:37 XGoldenSpartanX Help asking for a raise

I work for a small company, and including my boss, there are 5 of us. We can technically set the price for the products and services we offer, and I feel that my boss is undercharging for what we do, and I know he still profits quite a bit. (short context he still pretty much charges what he did 5+ years ago)
My question is, how can I show data of a % we could increase to our customers (government and state agencies buy from us) to justify an increase of >$5/hr raise? We already beat any competitors with our bids, and I think we could increase prices and still get work.
I love my work, but at what I make and with inflation, I am struggling. Last year we only got a $1/hr raise, and nothing yet this year...

2024.05.15 17:37 Xentrick-The-Creeper Serial killings is easier to do thanks to cars

In one of my posts, u/Chairkatmiao noted that serial killings and car dependency have a casuation.
And I agree.
The rise in serial killings grew alongside that of car ownership and a massive roll out of interstates.
Think about this: suddenly it's possible to snatch someone off the road, murder them somewhere far away and then bury the corpse, all within just a few hours.
Combine it with the lead in the gasoline and increase in stress on all levels (overworking, junk food, drug addiction) and boom, now you have a recipe for disaster. For many the car was a central part of their MO.
And as I said before, serial killing is far less common in Amsterdam for example, in part because of walkable design. Attempting to do the MO you'd do in a car-centric area will fail fucking miserably.
Cars are death machines in every aspect.

2024.05.15 17:33 webbs3 Revolut Business Adds Floki Inu to Tradable Assets - A Game Changer for FLOKI?

Hey everyone, some exciting developments in the crypto world to discuss. Floki Inu (FLOKI), a memecoin that operates on both the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) as it is compliant with ERC-20 and BEP-20 standards, has just been added to Revolut Business's list of tradable assets. This inclusion is not just a regular listing; it represents a significant stride towards enhancing FLOKI's global recognition and adoption, especially among businesses across Europe.
Revolut Business, a major player in the FinTech space, boasts an impressive user base exceeding 40 million people across more than 150 countries. By integrating FLOKI, Revolut is significantly broadening the coin's accessibility, potentially increasing its utility and acceptance as a legitimate asset among a diverse range of businesses. The market has already responded positively—since the listing, FLOKI's value has surged by 13%, with its price reaching $0.0002229. Additionally, its trading volume spiked over 69% in the last 24 hours, boosting its status to the 49th largest cryptocurrency and the fifth-largest memecoin by market cap.
The origin of FLOKI can be traced back to a tweet from Elon Musk announcing his Shiba Inu puppy would be named Floki, which sparked the creation of this new memecoin. With its continued expansion on reputable trading platforms like Revolut Business, FLOKI is solidifying its position as a key player to watch in the cryptocurrency market.
In other news, PEPE, another memecoin, has also recently experienced a significant value surge, hitting an all-time high on May 14. It's clear that the memecoin market is transitioning from mere internet hype to a sector with genuine growth and investment prospects.
What do you all think about the impact of such listings on the future of memecoins like FLOKI? Do you see them evolving into more serious financial instruments, or is the current surge just a result of new listings and high-profile mentions? Let's discuss!

What do you think of leadership coaching? Is it valuable for managers? If so, what has your team gotten out of it?
I'd love to hear concrete examples of how leadership coaching has worked for your company, tangible ways it helped your business. So often, I hear it "improved communication" or something like that, which is great, but isn't as tangible as something like "It helped increase our team productivity by X%"

Debt-to-Income Ratio Limits

Two DTI ratio figures are calculated when considering an FHA mortgage. The front-end DTI ratio is your total monthly housing expense, which includes the mortgage principal and interest, mortgage insurance, homeowners insurance, property taxes and applicable homeowners association fees, divided by your total monthly income. The back-end DTI ratio is your total monthly debt obligation, including housing, minimum credit card payments, auto loans, student loans and any other required monthly debt payment, divided by your total monthly income.Standard FHA front- and back-end DTI limits are 31 percent and 43 percent, respectively. If you earn $3,500 per month, your front-end DTI cannot exceed $1,085 and the sum of all your monthly debt obligations cannot exceed $1,505. f Applications for borrowers with lower salaries and higher DTIs are manually underwritten. Manual underwriting means that your lender assigns a person to review your loan application and documents, versus running your information through an automated underwriting system. Manually underwritten FHA loans allow for front- and back-end DTI ratios of up to 40 percent and 50 percent, respectively. To qualify for these higher DTI limits, you will need to meet other requirements.

2024.05.15 17:26 Username-unknow_ Tell us what you think!

So we have an idea for what we think could be a really cool new event! And we’d love to know if you guys would like to see us do this 😁

Avatar Auction House!

So here’s the idea:
People would message us throughout the week with their avatars and NFTs they want to auction, We would make up the listings and once a week host the auction with all the listings! Here’s the catch, listings can’t exceed RRP, if someone bids the RRP price then they win the piece and that auction ends!
We want this to be fun and compassionate the idea isn’t profit and this wouldn’t be a place you’d sell your grails but this could be a fun way for people to clear out some avatars and NFTs they don’t really want anymore but also an opportunity for people to get some pieces at a deal!
Example of a listing,

2024.05.15 17:25 Servantpublic DAE get a response from their local MP using the generic PSAC email on the 3 day mandate?

For context this is the response from Francis Drouin, Member of Parliament for Glengarry, Prescott and Russell.
Hi [name],
Thank you for reaching out in regards to this.
A per week minimum of 3 days still offers the flexibility of a hybrid work model by allowing most public servants to work from home for up to 2 days. To make sure this change can be done as smoothly as possible, there will also be a four-month lead time.
Public Services and Procurement Canada has confirmed that workplaces can accommodate this transition. With increased presence to 4 days for executives, it is expected that executives use the time spent in office efficiently and create a workplace environment that best meets the needs of their teams and supports high productivity.
We have and will also continue to prioritize our ongoing relationships with unions. Our government has met on several occasions with union leaders from across the public service to discuss issues of concern.
Additionally, the Direction on prescribed presence in the workplace and the Directive on telework are distinct from each other and neither is part of the collective agreements. The Treasury Board of Canada(TBS) continues to work with several bargaining agents to respect the commitments made in the letters of agreement signed in 2023, outside of collective agreements, to establish joint consultation committees to review the Directive on telework to ensure it reflects an evolving operational context. Together, TBS and the relevant bargaining agents have agreed to work towards concluding consultations one year from the initial meeting, which is on track for fall/winter 2024-2025.
I understand this can be a big change for many but rest assured that we remain focused on delivering high quality services to Canadians while accommodating the public service as best we can.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and concerns with me.
——
I notice he mentions 4 month lead time - some of us didn’t get that. My team was told 3 days a week the week after it was announced.

2024.05.15 17:25 Precocious_Kid PSA: The OCC Stock Loan Program is denominated in dollar values, not shares.

There's a lot of misinformation circulating in this sub about the Market and Hedge Loan balance reports from the OCC. These reported amounts are in dollars, not shares.
Check out the OCC Rules here: OCC Rules
Specifically, RULE 2204 – Mark-To-Market Payments page 169:
(a) In order to adjust the amount of the Collateral securing a Stock Loan for changes in the market value of the Eligible Stock that is the subject of the Stock Loan, Borrowing and Lending Clearing Members shall be required to make mark-to-market payments to the Corporation, and the Corporation shall be required to make mark-to-market payments to such Clearing Members, on each business day with respect to each Stock Loan until such Loan has been repaid by the Borrowing Clearing Member in accordance with the Rules. The amount of any mark-to-market payment to be made on any business day shall represent the increase or decrease, as applicable, in the value of the stock loan position and stock borrow position relating to such Stock Loan. The increase or decrease in value of a stock borrow position shall be deemed to be equal to: (i) in the case of a stock borrow position that was established on the preceding business day, the result of subtracting the marking price on such day from the settlement price; and (ii) in the case of any other stock borrow position, the result of subtracting the marking price on the preceding business day from the marking price on the second preceding business day. The increase or decrease in value of a stock loan position shall be deemed to be equal to: (1) in the case of a stock loan position that was established on the preceding business day, the result of subtracting the settlement price from the marking price on such day; and (2) in the case of any other stock loan position, the result of subtracting the marking price on the second preceding business day from the marking price on the preceding business day. No mark-to-market payment shall be required in respect of any stock loan or stock borrow position on and after the business day following the day on which such position was extinguished.
The emphasized section above shows that mark-to-market payments, which are tied to daily reporting, are based on the value (dollar amounts) rather than the number of shares.

2024.05.15 17:24 WhiskeyWitchcraft USPS Mailing & Postage

I've been mailing out cards with wax seals and I've been getting confusing feedback from the postal workers at my local hub.
I've mailed out one or two via drop box before and didn't have any issues paying for the price based on weight (I use forever stamps). However, when I took a new batch of mothers day cards to the hub for some of my penpals, the worker had me pay 20ish cents more per card without explanation. All I know is that she tried shoving it through a small slit in a plastic template to see if it would fit and it kept jamming at the part the wax seal was on. This effectively ruined the aesthetic of the whole envelope because the additional postage sticker was placed over the top edge of each one.
I sent out a second batch with an extra stamp each and dropped it off at my nearest drop box. That letter had no issue getting to the recipient.
Should I stop taking them to the post office and just drop them off at the drop box with normal stamps? Should I just add +1 stamp to each envelope and assume it will be fine? Is it really better to put an additional envelope with normal postage on the outside of the pretty envelope (with wax seal)? Thanks in advance for all your help!

Or is the surge in their values just a temporary reaction to new listings and celebrity tweets? Let's discuss!

2024.05.15 17:23 very-original-user ثِتونج ځوېٓسِنہ ⟨th'Tundj Gwýsene⟩ — How Did We Get Here?

=BACKGROUND=

Gwýseneثِتونج ځوېٓسِنہ⟫ ⟨th'Tundj Gwýsene⟩ /θɛˈtund͡ʒ ˈʝyːzɛnɛ/ (or "the least Germanic Germanic language") is a Germanic language descendant from Old English spoken in Nabataea (modern-day Jordan, Sinai, and northwestern Saudi Arabia). It takes place in a timeline where the Anglo-Saxons get kicked out of Britain by the Celts, therefore they sail all the way to Nabataea (I pride myself on my realism here) and settle there. Most of them eventually convert to Islam, and, as a consequence, Arabic becomes elevated to the language of academia, nobility, and poetry.
"English" as we know it still survives in-timeline as Engliscbasically Middle English with some modifications — spoken as a minority language in southeastern Britain (or Pritani as the Celts call it in-world).
==ETYMOLOGY OF GWÝSENE==
Gwýsene⟩ ⟪ځوېٓسِنہ⟫ is derived from ځوېٓسِن (Gwýsen) + ـہ- (-e, adjectival suffix), the former from Middle Gwýsene جِٔويسّمَن (ɣewissman), a fossilization of جِٔويسّ (ɣewiss, "Geuisse") + مُن (mon, "man"), from Old Gwýsene יוש מן (yws mn, yewisse monn), from Old English Ġewisse monn.
Tundj⟩ ⟪تونج⟫ is loaned from an Arabized pronunciation of Old Gwýsene תנג (tng, tunge) (from which descends the doublet ⟨Togg⟩ ⟪تُځّ⟫ /toɣ(ː)/, "tongue")
The Englisc exonym is ⟨Eizmenasisc⟩ /ɛjzmɛˈnaːsɪʃ/, From Brithonech (in-world Conlang) Euuzmenasech /ˈøʏzmə̃næsɛx/, from Middle French Yœssmanes /ˈjœssmanɛs/ (hence modern in-world French Yœssmanes /jœsman/ and Aquitanian (in-world) ⟨Yissmanes⟩ /ˈiːsmans/), from Middle (High) German \jewissmaneisch (hence modern in-world German *Jewissmännisch** /jəˌvɪsˈmɛnɪʃ/, Saxon Jewissmannisch /jɛˌvɪsˈma.nɪʃ/, and Hollandish Iweesmanis /iˈʋeːsmanɪs/), Ultimately from Middle Gwýsene جِٔويسّمَن (ɣewissman). Doublet of Englisc ⟨iwis mon⟩ /ɪˈwɪs mɔn/ + ⟨-isc⟩ /-ɪʃ/

==EVOLUTION FROM OLD ENGLISH==
The Phonological evolution from Old English to Old Gwýsene are as follows:
From Old Gwýsene to Middle Gwýsene:
From Middle Gwýsene to Modern Gwýsene:
==DIALECT GROUPS==
Gwýsene has 4 main dialect groupings:
1- Southern Dialects
Spoken around in-world Áglästrélz /ˈɑːɣɫɐˌstɾeːɫz/ [ˈɑːʁɫ(ə)ˌsd̥ɾeːɫz]. Speakers of these dialects tend to pronounce:
Regarded as the oldest dialect by Gwýsens as it encompasses the original "homeland" (if we don't count the Anglo-Saxons that is). They're also considered the most "posh", and the standard accent is loosely based on the southern dialects.
2- Central Dialects
Spoken around in-world Keü-Nüvátra /keʏ ˌnʏˈvɑːtɾɐ/ [kɛɨ ˌnɨˈvɒːtɾɐ]. Speakers of these dialects tend to pronounce:
Central Dialects are considered posh by northerners and westerners, but not by southerners.
3- Western Dialects
Spoken in in-world Ettúr /ɛtˈtuːɻ/ [ətˈtuːɽ]. Speakers of these dialects tend to pronounce:
4- Northern Dialects
Spoken in in-world Ämma̋n /ɐmˈmæːn/ [(ʕ)ɐmˈmæːn]. Speakers of these dialects tend to pronounce:
==LEXICAL DOUBLETS==
The differing analyses of the Old English sequences /xe͜o xæ͜ɑ/ & /je͜o jæ͜ɑ/ when the change from /e͜o æ͜ɑ/ to /iɔ̯ iɐ̯/ was taking place led to:
For example, Old English heofon & geofon evolved into:

=ORTHOGRAPHY=

Gýsene uses the Arabic script natively alongside a romanization
==SCRIPT BACKGROUND==
Since Gýsen use of the Nabataean & then Arabic script preceded the Persians by centuries, the Gýsen Arabic script differs quite a bit from the Indo-Persian system:
  1. Rasm: Gýsens writing in Nabataean (& carrying over to Arabic) tended to follow Aramaic & Hebrew convention for representing consonants, while the Persian convention was derived from the most similar sounding preexisting Arabic consonants, leading to drastic differences in pointing convention (i‘jām). As Islam spread, the 2 conventions spread in their respective halves of the Muslim World: The Indo-Persian-Derived Eastern convention, and the Gýsen-Derived Western convention:
(Loose) Consonant ↓ Western ↓ Eastern ↓
//v// پ و⟫ ǀ ⟪ڤ
//// ڝ چ
//p// ڢ پ
//f// ڧ ف
  1. Vowel Notation: The western convention has a definitive way of expressing vowels when diacritics are fully written, while in the eastern convention diacritics often serve dual-duty due to limitations of Arabic short vowel diacritics.

=GRAMMAR=

Gýsen grammar is extremely divergent from the Germanic norm, having been brought about by extremely harsh standardization efforts by the ruling class while backed by academia & scholars. It's heavily influenced by Arabic — being the encompassing liturgical, academic, and aristocratic language during the Middle to Early Modern Gýsen periods.
==PRONOUNS==
\this entire segment will use the romanization only]) The Pronouns themselves have remained relatively true to their Germanic origins, apart from the entire set of Arabic 3rd person pronouns & the genitive enclitics. Gýsene still retains the Old English dual forms, but they're only used in formal writing:
1st Person Singular Dual Plural
Nominative ih // wi /wi/ wi /wi/
Accusative mih /miç/ án /ɑːn/ ós /oːs/
Standalone Genitive min /min/ ár /ɑːɣ/ ór /oːɹ/
Enclitic Genitive -min /-mɪn/ -ar /-ɐɣ/ -or /-ɔɹ/
2nd Person Singular Dual Plural
Nominative thách /θɑːx/ gi /ʝi/ gi /ʝi/
Accusative thih /θiç/ in /in/ iw /iw/
Standalone Genitive thin /θin/ ig // iwar /ˈiwɐɹ/
Enclitic Genitive -thin /-θɪn/ -ig /-ɪʝ/ -iwar /-ɪwɐɹ/
3rd Person Masculine Singular Dual Plural
Nominative chá /xɑː/ chama̋ /xɐˈmæː/ chám /xɑːm/
Accusative hin /çin/ chama̋ /xɐˈmæː/ chám /xɑːm/
Standalone Genitive his /çis/ chama̋ /xɐˈmæː/ chám /xɑːm/
Enclitic Genitive -his /-çɪs/ -chama /-xɐmɐ/ -cham /-xɐm/
3rd Person Feminine Singular Dual Plural
Nominative hi /çi/ chana̋ /xɐˈnæː/ chán /xɑːn/
Accusative hi /çi/ chana̋ /xɐˈnæː/ chán /xɑːn/
Standalone Genitive hir /çiɹ/ chana̋ /xɐˈnæː/ chán /xɑːn/
Enclitic Genitive -hir /-çɪɹ/ -chana /-xɐnɐ/ -chan /-xɐn/
==NOUNS==
Middle Gwýsene inherited the Old English nominal declension, but due to merging & reduction of (final) unstressed vowels, all endlings were dropped except for the accusative & dative plurals which were later generalized. Middle Gwýsene also dropped the neuter gender, merging it with the masculine & feminine genders based on endings
Regular Noun Declension Singular Plural
Masculine - -an /-ɐn/
Feminine - -as /-ɐs/
This has been standardized to all nouns, with some ablaut irregulars:
"Man" (man) ǀ "Bách" (book) Singular Plural
Masculine man /mɑn/ menan /ˈmenɐn/
Feminine bách /bɑːx/ bitjas /ˈbit͡ʃɐs/
...and some nouns retain colloquial plural forms more reminiscent of their Old English counterparts:
"Tjylz" (child) ǀ "Chänz" (hand) Singular (Standard) Plural (Common) Plural
Masculine tjylz /t͡ʃyɫz/ tjylzan /ˈt͡ʃyɫzɐn/ tjylro /ˈt͡ʃyɫɾɔ/
Feminine chänz /xænz/ chänzas /ˈxænzɐs/ chänza /ˈxænzɐ/
===Possession===
Gwýsene has two distinct methods of indicating possession dur to the dropping of the genitive case:
1. A loaned version of the Arabic construct state (present in the standard language, urban areas, and most of the Northern and Western dialects). the Arabic definite article (-الـ) was loaned with its use in the construct state into Late Early Modern Gwýsene as a separate "letter form" [-لٔـ] and prescribed by Grammarians ever since as a "genitive" maker. This method also assumes definiteness of the noun it's prefixed to; it must be prefixed to eneg ("any") for indefinite nouns.
Bách 'lgörel /bɑːχ‿ɫ̩ˈʝøɹɛɫ/ ("the boy's book")
bách 'l - görel book ɢᴇɴ.ᴅғ - boy 
2. Use of a prefixed fär (equivalent to English "of", cognate with English "for") (present in rural areas and is generally viewed as a rural or "Bedouin" feature). This method does not assume definiteness, and a definite article is required.
Bách färth'görel /bɑːχ ˌfɐɹðəˈʝøɹɛɫ/ ("the boy's book")
Bách fär - th' - görel book of - ᴅғ - boy 
==ADJECTIVES==
Much like Nouns, adjectives decline for number and gender:
Regular Adjective Declension Singular Plural
Masculine - -an /-ɐn/
Feminine -e //* -as /-ɐs/
\due to its similarity with the common adjectival suffix* -e*, adjectives derived that way would not decline for gender in the singular*
==VERBS==
Gwýsen verbs are the most mangled, both by Arabization and regular phonological development. Gwýsen word order is VSO. Due to pronouns coming after the verb, they merged with the preexisting endings and formed unique endings that were later generalized to standard verb declension (rendering Gwýsene a pro-drop language)
Present Verb Conjugation ---
Infinitive -en /-ɛn/
Present Participle -enz /-ɛnz/
Past Participle ge- -en
Singular Imperative -
Plural Imperative -on /-ɔn/
1ˢᵗ singular -i /-ɪ/
1ˢᵗ plural -swe /-swɛ/
2ⁿᵈ singular -tha /-θɐ/
2ⁿᵈ plural -gge /-ʝʝɛ/
3ʳᵈ singular masculine -scha /-sxɐ/
3ʳᵈ dual masculine -schama /-sxɐmɐ/
3ʳᵈ plural masculine -scham /-sxɐm/
3ʳᵈ singular feminine -sche /-sxɛ/
3ʳᵈ dual feminine -schana /-sxɐnɐ/
3ʳᵈ plural feminine -schan /-sxɐn/
the subjunctive is formed with a prefixed les- (if the verb is consonant-initial) or let- (if the verb is consonant-initial)
A consequence to the fusional suffixes, the preterite suffixes completely merged with the present ones, so weak verbs need an auxiliary to indicate simple past, which segways us to-
===Auxiliary Verbs===
Most auxiliaries have 2 conjugations: an auxiliary conjugation & a standalone conjugation:

3ʳᵈ dual feminine synz /synz/ synzchana /ˈsynzxɐnɐ/
3ʳᵈ plural feminine synz /synz/ synzchan /ˈsynzxɐn/
There are 4 tense-related auxiliaries: Wesan (past auxiliary, "was"), Sőn (participle auxiliary, "be"), Bín (participle auxiliary, "be"), and Víden (future auxiliary, "will"):

===Stong Verbs===
Most of the strong classes remain in Gwýsene, albeit with completely unorthodox ablaut patterns. They've been resorted based on pattern that I've Grammarians have found. Strong verbs also never need the past auxiliary.

2024.05.15 17:19 Notowel480 Ever Increasing Demands

Not sure if this is bpd or just my wife but maybe others can elucidate.
It feels like she has ever increasing demands, always a new threshold required to feel happy, to feel content to feel fulfilled. Weather it’s in the amount of money we make, the amount of trips we take, the size of the house. How often I go to the doctor, how often I go to the dentist, how often I work out.
For example, about 9 months ago my wife got on my case for not “taking care of myself”. About me for perspective, I’m not fat, I’m not dirty, im not sickly, I don’t smell, I don’t have hygiene problems. But she got it in her head that I need to take batter car of myself because she’s paranoid I’ll get sick and die or something.
Fair enough I’m getting into my mid 30’s true I’ve never really cared about my diet, or my excercise or my health generally because I haven’t had too I’m pretty healthy naturally.
Fine, so I found a doctor and my health is fine, some of my measurements are borderline. Classic advice eat better, drink less, make sure I get 8 hours of sleep and excersise regularlry standard stuff. I take up working out about twice a week with a buddy, I go get my teeth cleaned twice a year now, I go to the doctor every 6 months, I make sure I’m not eating trash or drinking to much. All seems going well.
Here we are nearly a year into this and recently we’ve been busy and my workout buddy had been busy so the last month we’ve missed most of our workout time due to conflicts. As of this morning my wife is now talking to me like the last 9 months didn’t occur. “You need to take better care of yourself, you are skipping workouts too much, the rest of your life can’t be like this” eye rolls nasty tones and faces the whole standard deal.
I don’t understand what drives these demands, it never stops, it’s never good enough. Why cant she just leave me alone? If I was some obese loser who smelled and she found unattractive I’d get it but that isn’t the case.

2024.05.15 17:19 MyFirstBanana Recent GME swap report data

The recent GME rally led me take a look at recent swap reporting data in the last months. Two swap report observations stood out:
These swaps have interesting creation dates, both from 2020, and I guess that someone closed a large short position. Maybe there will be some nice T+x volatility.
As a side note, in March, the DTCC data formatting has changed, they went from a perfectly fine Enum type for swap classes to a string that needs parsing, which is extremely annoying.
Example data:

2024.05.15 17:19 Mk-Daniel Need help. Mask leaves white around picture.

Need help. Mask leaves white around picture.
I have math which should correct for when image is for example not multiple of 64 or ratio between mask and output image is incorrect but when image is not in the center or image scale is not 0.5 or canvas scale is not 1 there is white line around part of the image. This is second time I ripped everything out and rebuilt. Can you please help me find a likely mistake? Workflow Selected nodes are the nodes responsible for the correction.
This is often what happens. It gets way worse when I increase feathering from 0 to positive value
