I’m looking for places on the AT where I can hike for one day and end up at a hostel or inn of some sort. Ideally, there’d be a couple of these stops, like a day hike - hostel - day hike - hostel - day hike - city where I can catch a cab back to my car. So three days of hiking with two stops. Maybe 8-10 miles a day, maximum, and not like super duper difficult or through big streams or through national parks that need permits. Just ~30 miles of not-difficult path with two hostel stops along the way (or even hotels or whatever). Any suggestions? TIA!

Notes: This is more of a venting but I need advice post. Also a lot of story telling for background info.
TLDR; My friend/crush hasn't responded to my texts for 2 weeks after he said he missed me. He's been online but is leaving me on delivered. Everything has gone positively and perfect up until now. And I am nervous for the worst case scenario. What do I do?
I (20'sF) have been friends with this guy (20'sM) for 5 years. We have a lot in common. From religion to music to overall interests. We can agree on a lot. I had a huge crush on him when we went to school. But he had rejected me because he didn't want a relationship. In which he has stuck to for the 5 years I've known him. After school he joined the military and I'd hear from him once or twice every couple of months. Which was okay because it gave me time to relieve my crush on him. But overall he was the ideal guy, I find him highly attractive, super intelligent, and overall a great person.
I never truly got over the crush, but I just let it sit in the back of my head.
We both went on with our lives, I had my first boyfriend. But it never worked out. But last summer he came home and asked if I wanted to go out. So I was excited to agree to it. We spent all day together, just talking about random stuff and catching up on life. He asked me to hang out again the next day so we went to a movie. It all went fairly well, it just felt like we were reconnecting and we became stronger friends.
After he left I went on with my life as he went on with his. I had gone out on one date with a former classmate from high school. And it didn't work out because there wasn't a connection. But when November came around, my friend had text me and asked if he should come home. In fact, his reasoning of coming home was to see his family and because he had missed me.
We had only talked 2-3 times a month between him leaving and him coming home again.
He came home in December and he had text me to make plans. He wanted to go ice skating and so he took me for the first time. He had insisted on putting my skates for me because I was struggling. And he wanted to hold my hand so he could protect me from falling. After that we went to a mall and he bought me a candle (and one for himself). Then we went to a pho cafe and had lunch. I got to hear his fun stories from when he had pho as a kid. It was so fun just listening to him be excited about what he likes. Although he isn't a talkative guy, he's always been known to be really quiet and introverted.
Later after that, we went back to my house and spent some time talking. He found interest in my rings and asked about them. He was just sitting next to me and ASKED if he could kiss me. I have never really heard of someone asking first. But I am also inexperienced in kissing, so that explains it. We had kissed and then we went up to my room and cuddled. We just appreciated each other's presence, kissing, holding hands, laughing, playing with each other's hair, all of that.
A couple days later, I saw this car rolling up my street slowly while I was out walking my dog. It happened to be him and his parents. They knew about me and wanted to see where I lived. So I got to meet his parents. Later on, my friend would text me and ask various questions his parents had for me.
I invited him over a couple days before he left for his home. I made him dinner and we had a drink or two. After that we went to my room again to watch tv and cuddle. We basically did what we did the previous time and some other things. The next day, I was just hanging out at home and I heard a car door outside. It was my friend. He stopped by to say goodbye before he left to go home. He said bye, kissed me once more, and then got in his dad's vehicle and left.
When he got home we talked almost everyday with maybe a 3-4 day break in between talking. Which was a huge step. He'd complement me, say that he thought I was really sweet, he wished me happy birthday 4 times (yes, 4 times. He was also the first to say it), and things of that sort. I returned the complements and so on. He even joked about us getting married. Which was so sweet. We've talk about how we missed each other several times and how we can't wait to see each other again. Talked about when he'll come home and that I'd be one of the main reasons he'd come home. Everything is great. Although he didn't want a relationship until the future. Which is okay, because he has stuck to that for the years I've known him. But everything still went fairly smoothly. It feels like a fresh breath of air.
I would always ask him how he is doing. Or he'd just tell me about his day before I could even ask. If I was delayed in response, I'd always apologize and he'd say there was nothing to be sorry about. He'd constantly reassure me. Which is a great sign, friend-wise and potential-partner-wise. He is such a great guy personality wise, highly intelligent, very kind, likes to listen but is generally a quiet person, always tells the truth, has a good sense of humor, and so on. He's also always happy for me when I talk about something like a job offering or something big in my life. As I'm always happy for him when he has something exciting going on. We're always supporting each other and hoping that we're in the best shape.
All the way up until 2 weeks ago, everything went incredibly well. I have never had a guy actually treat me like this. I mean, things could still be well, but who knows.
He had texted me one morning like usual. So I responded when I was able to (maybe an hour later). And I haven't heard from him since. I get that life gets in the way or he may have to prioritize something differently. But it is unlike him to just drop out. I've occasionally noticed that he had been online. So why isn't he responding? I know well that he isn't seeing anyone. Since he sticks to his word. Plus his last words to me were: "I miss spending time with you" (we were talking about something he missed from back home and that he didn't know when he'll get to return). I texted him after not hearing from him for a week and still nothing. I am afraid he is ghosting me although I feel like he wouldn't do such thing. I just get scared of that from past experiences. So, maybe he is just busy? Maybe he has something high-priority going on? Maybe he is just being his introverted self and kinda keeping to himself? We are just friends for now so it shouldn't bother me too much. But I still get worried for him. (although when I mentioned a few years ago that I got worried for him, he had said that he hopes I didn't worry too much). I understand that it would be difficult for us to date and that maybe right now wouldn't be a good time to date since neither of us are in a position to date (we're both still trying to find a balanced routine, calm down, take care of ourselves, and navigate being adults lol. plus I am just starting in a professional workforce so I am trying to balance life with that too).
What do I do? Does anyone have a take or any advice on this?
Note: please do ask questions incase I come off in a wrong or weird way. thank you!!!

We love bluey, and frankly it can be frustrating when my kids expect me to live up to chilli and bandit and it just isn't realistic to be like that ALL OF THE TIME, but it got me thinking of how parents were portrayed in the cartoons I watched.
My favorite show was literally about parents who put their babies in a playpen and ignored them all day, to the extent that they didn't notice them pull a screwdriver out of their diaper, break out of the playpen, and wander around doing whatever tf kind of messy or dangerous shit they felt like. I joked about the more laissez-faire parenting attitudes of the 90s and I guess the shows reflected that, and now everything is about gentle parenting or conscientious parenting or any variety of a hundred different ridiculous labels lol.
I get overwhelmed with guilt and shame when my kids keep asking me to play a hundred games all the time and it just isn't possible and I know they have unrealistic expectations partially because they watch 150 episodes of amazing engaged parents, without realizing it's for 10 minutes or so at a time. That's the attitude of parenting now: constantly comparing to others, always reading about something new that if you don't do it you're failing, expected to parent in a way that leaves us feeling inadequate and ashamed.
Do you think the rugrats super casual (and by today's standards completely negligent) parenting style made parents be able to just live their lives without quite as much of the constant guilt and shame and comparing we have, and maybe that could not necessarily cause some of the ever-expanding mental health crisis, but rather reflect that culture?

I picked up a ‘23 honda crf250rx a few years ago, and when I was riding not too long ago I took a small spill that put the shift lever through the crank case cover. bad day but I got out of there safely. when I went to replace the cover, everything looked fine, no obvious metal shards and from the puncture it looked like everything was accounted for. installed the stator and gearing, put the new cover and gasket on, and took it out a couple days later after doing a test ride around the block. while I’m out, the bike isn’t starting after a short break (this was not the first break of the ride). luckily my buddy had a charger and through multiple charges, and a lot of hassle, we got it out of there. tested the battery when I got home and noticed the battery wasn’t increasing in voltage when I revved the engine, mind you, it still rode at this point, but only for about 5 minutes before it would die. so I open up the crankcase cover again and notice a massive hole in between the fins on the stator. looks like someone shot it. (if I can figure out how to post pictures I will). no burned copper, nothing where the hole was, all the bolts on the flywheel were tight.
anyone have any clue what might have happened before I tear into it?

I'm a half-orc bear totem barbarian 5/fighter 1 in a CoS campaign. Planning on going to fighter 3 (champion) and then continuing with barb levels. Long story short, we came upon some good werebears in a tight spot and managed to help them out. They were a family, appeared good, were friendly and civilized to us which was a stark contrast to the savage and evil werevolves that already attacked and cursed a few of us (though we got a cleric to cure us).
Naturally, our perceptive ranger took notice of this and started asking about their shapechanging abilities before I could bring it up. My barb, fascinated with the mighty bear and believing it to be destiny (my level 3 bear totem subclass was triggered by a dream of a mighty bear coming to my aid long before I even knew werebears existed, both as a PC and as a player), listened intently before asking to become a werebear himself. He believes that this is his long lost tribe's protector animal spirit (bear) coming to him in his time of need (we're about to go into a dangerous fight) and offering strength. One of the werebears agreed and bit me with my full cooperation, but nothing yet manifested this session.
After the session, our DM told me that when it happens, I would get the ability to shapechange into a bear or a werebear. While shapechanged: - my natural AC would get a +1 (+1 boost to my unarmored defence as it is now) and I'd still get to use the cloak of protection although it will look quite small on my bigger bear form :D - my STR would be bumped up to 19 if my STR is lower than 19 (it's 18 atm) - I would get the claw (2d8 +STR) and bite (2d10 +STR) multiattack which would be a considerable damage boost over my trusty maul (2d6 +STR reroll 1&2) and greataxe (d12 + STR reroll 1&2) - I could still use weapons in werebear form if I wanted, should we ever find a suitable magic weapon for me or I have need of a javelin - my barbarian rage and reckless attack would still function as normal and so would my half-orc relentless endurance - my alignment would change from chaotic good to neutral good
I have no idea if there will be side effects down the line. DM also told me that I won't go on rampages and killing sprees since I'll still be good.
So far, our bard got a magical lute that can cast several spells once per day. Our rogue got a dancing rapier and a ring of mind shielding (though he traded the ring for a spell tome for our wizard and a favor). Our wizard got a cloak of protection, 2 additional tomes to expand his spell list + a ring of spell storing. Paladin and ranger didn't get any "buffs" yet because everyone in the party insisted I get the second cloak of protection instead of either of them.

Our bottle fed 4mo is mostly refusing to eat during the day. She gets probably half of her calories via dream feeds.
I’ve followed all the advice — feeding in a calm dark room, not force feeding, using a blanket to cover her head, Etc.
It’s been challenging to follow Ferber because you’re not supposed to feed within 30 min of bed time, but she seems most willing to feed right before bed/nap when she’s drowsy.
She will cry until she vomits at the beginning of the night. Ironically, I think it’s because she can’t sleep because she’s hungry.
Has anyone dealt with this issue? Any advice? What worked for you?

Hi!
I am pretty new to Vercel, I used to host my sites on Digital Ocean App, but I have 2 clients that are pretty small and Vercel seemed perfect for them, until I got an email saying that I had almost used all of my fast data transfer cap.
Website no1
Fully static, pulls data from Prismic at build time, images are hosted on their CDN. The dist is 6mo. This one has 22 page views for the last 14 days, and used 20gb on Vercel. How is this possible? Anything I can do to improve this?
Website no2
Mostly static, also pulls data from Prismic at build time, but I have client site pages for products that are on Swell.js and ther images are also on their CDN. This one, I don't have the page views, but probably about 60 page views for the last 30 days, and used 65gb.

I think I have an active clothing moth infestation, (many little moths on the ceiling each night in my bedroom) but cannot find the source. Online advice seems to be to wash everything - but I am looking at a room (if not a house) full of clothing, linen, and textiles and feel completely overwhelmed. My understanding is that even bags, shoes, suitcases, and pillows could be the problem. I’ve placed all my clothes in garbage bags, and I have begun washing anything with natural fibers - I am figuring that one rotation through the dryer will not harm items if it means getting rid of the bugs. Our washer takes an hour and a half to do about half of a bag’s worth of clothes, before being transferred to the dryer for an hour on high heat - I have 9 garbage bags worth of clothes alone without getting started on bedding, textiles (curtains) and items I don’t know how to clean (bags and shoes). I don’t want to overcrowd so everything is cleaned thoroughly. I can only do laundry from 7:30-11:00pm.
How should we best tackle this? Is it enough to wash items and then place them directly into sealed garbage bags, and do this until all clothes are cleaned over several days? What do I do about clothes to wear while this process is ongoing? We are looking into extermination but understand from looking up bedbugs that we need to wash our own things separately.

disclaimer, these 2 tips require a little peach fuzz. I’m sure most of us have heard that you can enhance your fuzz with tinted eyebrow gel or brown mascara (you still can with no peach fuzz, it just requires more finesse). pro tip, go for ones that say things like “fiber building” bc it will help with the appearance of thickness. but what I wanted to share is my experience dyeing my (minimal) facial hair, bc I’ve seen a lot of people say they haven’t had much success with it. copy/pasting what I shared on ftm:
my roommate bought this eyebrow dye (it’s Ardell brow tint, it was like $15 I think) and shared it with me. I dyed my brows and impulsively put the dye on my mustache hairs too. it didn’t stain my skin at all and it really makes my face look more masculine. it doesn’t look like I have a huge, thick mustache, but it does look like I have facial hair, which is all I was aiming for (I have some facial hair but it isn’t dark and thick yet). it says it lasts 2 weeks, I used it like 3 days ago so I can’t vouch for that. I’m using a tinted brow gel to make my brows look maximum thick. if you have significant peach fuzz that’s not very noticeable due to colosoftness, I recommend this product! I have medium brown hair and used a slightly darker brown color for the dye. be sure to choose a color that will look natural on you, you can do a test patch somewhere if you’re unsure about the color.
anyway, the more fuzz on your face the better your results will probably be. I’ve been on T for years, but only very recently am I in the stage between peach fuzz and just a regular ol’ mustache. I thought this might be helpful for any of the nonbinary folks who are toying with the idea of taking T or whether they’d like having facial hair.

Went for a physical examination today and the doctor told me not to worry, due to most masses being benign. She just recommended I get the ultra sound and make sure, so i am. Luckily radiology is open 24 hrs a day so i’m going at 10:30 pm lol. I’m not worried yet but god damn i can’t wait to get this ultrasound and see the results. No matter the answer, I just want to know.
How long did it take after the ultrasound to know the result?
Thanks all, have a good day!

I play on PS5 and the last couple of days, and I have noticed that I have been matched up against almost exclusively with people playing on Switch. These players all have stacked teams where all of their hitters are batting around .345 and higher. These games have also had by far the most latency of any of the games I’ve played. It’s just really strange, as the matchups had been pretty balanced console-wise to this point

[US-NY]
My landlord sent me an email through someone else account (his brand new personal assistant) to increase rent starting this coming month but didn't do it the legal way. I've been a tenant for 10 years so the landlord is obligated to give me 3 months notice via mail. I'm in NY. I can afford the new rent but my objection here is because I have a hole in the ceiling of one of the bedrooms and it drips water every time it rains or snows. That ceiling will eventually collapse because another three holes are forming on that same ceiling, these other 3 wet spots will fall and turn into holes. I notified my landlord so many times about this damage and he keeps ignoring it. How should I approach this matter? Would there be a chance winning against my landlord in court if I sue him for all the rent I paid before while living in a damaged housing situation (safety and health hazard)?
The COO (certificate of occupancy) inspection is coming up soon this month, I talked with the inspector and he told me that they will not pass the inspection (will not give COO) and that damaged ceiling will be a violation. The inspector added that he will cite the property and issue a ticket/fine which will put the COO on hold until they fix the damage.
Your advice is highly appreciated.

Hi everyone. My son has been having problems with his stomach. He's 30 years old. Lately he's had diarrhea (sorry if too much info). He did travel to Africa a while ago and I was concerned he got a parasite because of how much he was going to the bathroom but thankfully it slowed down but still happens almost every day. He went to the Dr and they found a bacteria in his stool and his blood test showed something was high which could means Crohn's. He's going for a colonoscopy next week. We are both nervous but don't really understand much about Crohn's. The Dr said either that or colitis. Any info would be so helpful. Thank you.

I can disrupt the social scene with my presence. That's what's similar. I have intense focus. So much so that people around me make noises to get me out of my zone. I can understand their reaction. The thing is I constantly note people's presence and try to adjust/shift in my place. You would know that I'm disturbed by your presence. If not, I feel like my only option is to block people out and make the whole place around me mine. Which I can't.
So I have tried many templates when I'm outside. Basically, I either ignore others but I constantly notice their presence, so they feel bad/something for me ignoring them or I tend to people please, so everyone is okay with me here.
Now I'm trying the new template. I know I disturb you, but I'm doing my thing you do yours. Like the calm and nice good-looking people. And I don't feel like I'm ignoring others a lot. I notice people are there and I don't care to notice what exactly they are doing. I get things from sounds and peripheral vision but I don't try to gain more knowledge. One thing is I need to make myself feel like I'm not in danger right now. I don't want to hurt others or myself.
I like imitating others. I think that is what is curiosity.
Also, people respect me. They do things for me. Like I'm the smartest or good-est or hardworking-est or trying-my-best kind of person. I fail miserably. Leaves bad taste for everyone. I cry.
Also like, they kind of pass an exam if they make me feel comfortable. I swing from all people are nice to all people are bad. Oh yeah, especially if they know it's a long-term interaction. Short-term interactions are a war. I feel bad again. Some people do like my presence. I think I'm just thinking of the negative experiences. Doesn't help though. I should stop typing. Do I delete everything?....Ahhhhhh....

Vivek Goel, the president of UW, has managed to come to an agreement with the Palestinian encampment in only two days. An impressive achievement that other universities would do well to learn from and emulate.
The agreement states that the encampments are deemed legal in UW, as long as the proper fees are paid:
* Single person occupancy tents will be $500/month
* Two person occupancy tents will be $700/month
* Any three person or more occupancy tent will be $900/month
Utilities include the unlimited use of the PAC facilities, and deals have been made to allow 24/7 bathroom access to all gas stations that are within a 3km radius of UW.
To understand the sentiments of those directly impacted by this agreement, I spoke with several individuals from both the protest encampment and the administration. Their perspectives provide a deeper insight into the challenges and triumphs of reaching this unprecedented accord.

Voices from the Encampment

One student, who preferred to be anonymous (Layla Atef), said that she was a great supporter of the agreement. "I'll be saving so much money on rent every month now. Before, I had to deal with my creepy-ass landlord who only wanted female tenants. This new arrangement gives me peace of mind. Living on campus in a supportive environment where my safety and well-being are being prioritized makes a huge difference"
Another student also expressed their satisfaction with the agreement, declaring that: "his 7-person occupancy tent gives him much more space and privacy than his previous living setup. The administrations willingness to negotiate in good faith was a positive step forward."
But it's not all moonlight and roses for the protesters, as Mohammed Ahmed, the spokesperson of the encampment highlighted: "We know our people well. For most of the UW students it's their first time being outside for more than 30 minutes. We've had to set up workshops to acclimate them to the new environment. We've got the 'Don't Like at the Sun Directly' workshop, the 'Grass Is Not Your Enemy' workshop and have even set up a 'Leetcodes Anonymous' group -- a self-help organization helping those dealing with grinding code addiction."

Interview with Vivek Goel, President of UW

Q: What prompted the university to take such an unorthodox decision?
A: "I read 'The Secret' over the winter and had a complete 360. We in the administration of UW unfortunately believed in the nonsense of 'If you wish hard enough, you'll get everything you desire.' We have to be the owners of our own destiny. Yes, I could've called the police to violently brutalize the protesters and force them to leave. But what would that have gained us? A hefty police bill, bad press, and more angry students! Renting out the land to them is the more prudent financial and moral decision."
Q: Now that the protesters are renting, do you expect this encampment to last a long time?
A: "Unfortunately, that is something that I don't know. I need to get my lazy-ass administrative staff to do at least 1 honest days work this year. Believe me, we are not stalling; we just honestly don't know where half our money is invested in anyway. Hell, it could be in Doge coin for all I know. All I'm happy about is that I've managed to slip in a snow shoveling clause to the rental agreement."
Q: The PAC is already packed, have you factored in the effect of the extra people
A: At this question, Vivek Goel guffawed with laughter. "I know my people," he said with tears of mirth in his eyes, "UW students don't take showers."

I just found this subreddit. I've always thought either 50% of the time that my life is normal and im imagining it having been bad and the other 50% im like thinking my life was maybe not normal? Just someone please tell me which one I am ill just list some things about my life. I genuinely never have told this stuff to anyone and I feel like I need outside input because I really need to know if im just imagining things. For context if that matters im 23, and im still living at my mother because I was so depressed after highschool ended I needed to deal with things. Doing better recently. I feel like my family is semi-normal now though.... (mostly)?
-Earliest memories are parents fighting (i only remembered these after like 10 years they happened lol)
-Frequent sleep paralysis and nightmares as a child where the monsters were literally my parents (only realized this a while ago)
-Telling my mother im feeling depressed and them just brushing it off while working saying something like "really? then you need to go to therapy" instead of giving a fuck.
-My mother scaring me with a scary voice before I was 6 years old at night trying to sleep I think because I was in bed but she kept doing it even though I think I remember crying and telling her to stop.
-Parents always favored siblings, literally gave them gifts and let them have things that im pretty sure I let them know I was the one who wanted, not my brothers. (example: I always liked videogames, my older sibling has a PS2 and TV, I want a videogame console, my sibling who doesn't like them that much gets a PS3, new TV and old stuff goes to my younger sibling, who doesn't like them at all???)
-Parents making fun of me because at my childhood and teen years I was fat (i started stress eating at 11, because I was being bullied at school, because I was new there and unable to make friends. Even the teacher bullied me.)
-Clearly being depressed at 11 and after because of the stuff i mentioned above, them not doing anything? I went from a somewhat happy kid who went outside and had some friends, to being inside all the time, fat, crying every morning and they still send me to school?????
-Them never questioning why I didn't do anything normal like go outside, have friends or girlfriends, good grades, anything, most of my childhood and teenage years. Just letting me be.
-older sibling hitting me with a controller in the head I think. I remember saying to someone they did that when I was a child but dont remember the actual event. Possibly happened. Also stuff like calling me fat, telling me to kill myself (mind you I had thoughts about doing it back then)
-Ignoring me when I went on walks at late evening to try to get attention.
-Whole family generally making fun of me constantly my whole life.
-Saying stuff to each other possibly knowing I was to hear it such as saying to my siblings that they all know im the weakest and saying im fat and stuff like that.
-I slept like 3 hours to 5 hours on average around since I've been 11 until my highschool ended. I didn't want the next day to come and night was the only time I got to be alone and in peace so I just played videogames when I was able to.
-Generally treating my siblings better than me. Noticeably. I noticed when I was like 13 that I was clearly the least favorite. I just thought it's because im the middle child and remember crying about it.
-I remember on some health thing at school i crossed a box saying I feel like I have no one I trust or such and my mother got concerned/angry, still let it be after 1 discussion about it.
-Older sibling walking by me without asking if im okay after I passed out at school and just generally always ignoring me. Also breaking my stuff.
-Me seldom getting anything I wanted. My siblings did though. And they were still ungrateful brats.
-Being scolded because of stuff I didnt do/stuff they never scolded my siblings when they did?
-Generally because of depression, loneliness and stuff also not sleeping much, I dont remember almost anything about the years 0-18? Is that normal? I have very few memories I feel like.
-The few friends I managed to get as a child felt like the only people who actually made me feel like I belonged.
-Not supporting anything I liked, any of my hobbies or such. Unlike my siblings'.
Theres probably more if i think about it, but there were happy memories too. Or atleast okay ones. So idk if im just making a big deal out of nothing. I feel like im okay now. But I dont know if I am. What if ive been depressed so long I dont remember what it was like to not be depressed. I genuinely think I haven't felt really anything since I was a young child. I feel tired always. I can't form relationships and dont know how to do so. I've been alone so long. Even thought lately ive been making attempts to better my life and things seem to be getting better I still feel like maybe im fucked up inside and im not doing as good as I am. I really dont fucking know im tired it's 3 am and I should probably sleep. I might delete this later idk.

Iphone 15 pro, in Denver most places it shows 5g uc. Unlimited business plan. I had att for about 6-7 years and really has no complaints other than pricing. Since I've switched I've definitely noticed more coverage holes, more people haven't been able to hear me and in general data is spotty requiring me to jump too airplane and back just to get connected... i’m on the road or out in the field for my business pretty much five days a week. Having some pretty serious regret about switching over.
