How to type

Say you have $20,000. Don't overthink the numbers below, focus on the core principles of how to compare the value of differing scenarios. Scenario 1, you invest the principal in stocks. Scenario 2, you invest the capital in solar panels for your home.
Scenario 1. This one is simple. Let's say 20k at a conservative 6% average growth. Year 5: $26,977 Year 10: $36,388 Year 15: $49,082 Year 20: $66,204
Scenario 2. Slightly more complex, loose numbers based on my area. 20k value of solar panels + installation. $3k gov rebate. Assume the value of the panels goes into home value, but you eat the cost of installation. Assume no energy cost increases. No accounting for cost reduction is untaxed (i.e., you save an entire dollar on every dollar saved), whereas cap gains is taxed when you withdraw. Now energy cost increases and the tax efficiency of savings are both very real, so scenario 2 is likely bigger than assessed.
Year 5: ($500) Year 10: $6,000 Year 15: $12,500 Year 20: $19,000
Opportunity cost. So the opportunity cost for any non-essential capex comes out reasonably high. Essential capex is different, such as the capex of a roof is a pain, but at some point you need a new roof. At 10 yrs the opportunity cost between scenario 1 and 2 is $30k and it grows slowly after that. Essentially the question is does the value of scenario 2 (in this example, having solar panels) worth your opportunity cost (in this example, 30k in 10 yrs)? Also the above comparison is a strong points for, say, a 0% down, if you can get a payback period within, say, 15 yrs, as opposed to doing a capital outlay.
Am I thinking about this the right way? How do you all weigh these types of decisions, since they're not easily comparable?

And what’s the best brand or type of flour for baking? All of my baking has turned out crumbly and dry and idk how to fix it. Thanks!

I met an old ex-collegue of mine for coffee last week to catch up, and mentioned the Roblaws boycott. This friend was a senior VP at Sobeys in the 2010's - so this information is not coming from someone at the operational or managerial level and it's not based on speculation or rumour This is executive level, long range strategic planning type stuff he was privy to during his tenure and he was most certainly aware of his competitors strategies and business policies. "So Loblaws claims they only make 3% profit net on their grocery stores. How is that even possible?" I said.
The howls of derisive laughter could be heard all around the coffee shop. His answer didn't shock or surprise me - but the depth of it did.
"Yes, they report 3% net profit on groceries.But what they don't tell anyone is how they are off loading onto their vendors all the costs of running their business. It's a huge profit centre for them. Like, huge."
We both worked together in the apparel industry for a while, and were very used to companies like The Bay putting punitive charges on vendors for not adhering to their frequently outrageous demands for order fulfillment. Loblaws has taken this to extremes. For example, large companies often demand vendors ship "100% complete,100% on time". As in if I ordered 100 cases from you to ship May 1st, don't be sending me 98 cases on April 31st or May 2nd. Because if you do, there will be a double digit penalty they will charge the vendor. Sometimes this gets so onerous and ridiculous, that vendors will frequently OWE THE RETAILER ! i.e. they are making zero profit because of the reverse charge penalties.
So y'know.... nothing new there. What *was* new to me was that he divulged Loblaws now off loads capital expenditures on their vendors. As in.... "We're building a new Lobular fulfillment centre, or mega store, and btw, we're not paying for it. YOU are, Proctor & Gamble / Kraft / Unilever etc."
This blows my mind. I don't know what percentage capital expenditure is for Loblaws as a line item in their annual budget but it's got to be huge. And to off-load that on their suppliers is brass balls of the highest order.
As for the vendors ? I'm sure they are resentful and ticked off. How could you not be? And yet I'm sure the senior execs at P&G etc have their eyes glaze over when they see the open-to-buy dollars LOblaws devotes to their brands. So ! Much ! MONEY !!!! So they grit their teeth and suck it up, and watch the bulldozers break ground for Galen & Crew to open another 1 M sq ft facility and be smug af about the fact they aren't even paying mice nuts for it.
So consumers AND vendors - Bend over and grab your ankles while Loblaws drills you a new asshole - and they won't even put a rose on the pillow first.

So my ghoster came back after 1 month and gave a vague apology , he told "I felt I did Sone mistake so I wanted to say sry " I replied okay Again he came back multiple time like Hi, next day plz reply , wt is the matter, why are you so angry/ sad ?

Just sitting here thinking of Fallout during my lunch break and I came up with my own entry form into a community type questionnaire for Fallout… here’s mine. How would you respond and what would your questions look like… of course the first question has to keep the trend going…

1. You are approached by a frenzied scientist, who yells, "I'm going to put my quantum harmonizer in your photonic resonation chamber!" What's your response?

I'd say "Up yours, too, buddy."
Wouldn’t that cause a parabolic destabilization of the fission singularity.
Find a pipe and knock him out
Slip away before he has time to finish

1. You can only have one of the following to eat for the rest of your life what do you pick?

Bloodbug steak
Dog meat steak
Mole rat chunks
Strange Meat Pie

1. Raiders are attacking how do you deal with it!

I punch every last one of them in the face till they drop
I plant a frag grenade in their back pockets
Spray and pray
Stand back and snipe away giving them a fresh fade in the process

1. While out scavenging for resources a Deathclaw invites you to his tea party. What do you do?

Say “No Governah, I don’t drink tea”
Why yes of course, does this tea party require a fancy dress and flower hat?
Go with the Deathclaw immediately skipping down the road hand and hand
Kick him in the balls and pickpocket him

1. You’re the star of the football (American) team…! What’s your position!

Quarterback
Center
Defensive Back
How can I play football when I got no feet?

1. While volunteering at the clinic a ghoul walks in and starts talking gibberish what do you do..?

Awww shit it’s time to put him down *grab pistol
Give him some Psycho he’s clearly having withdrawals
Pet his head and tell him everything is going to be okay,
Fart in his face and say that’s two atomic blast you had to deal with

1. You find out your best friend in the community has been a run away Synth … what do you do?

Ask to see his synth component
Turn him into management he has a stupid face anyway
Ask him to recite pi as long as he can
Give him a Wet Willy and pretend you don’t know

1. You’re next in line at the store and there’s only one box of BlamCo Mac & Cheese left you heard Old Lady Snider talking about Mac and cheese all week and how she saved up the caps to buy it today but you really want it too… what do you do?

Buy it and immediately turn around opening the box and pouring the uncooked contents down your throat chasing it with water going yeaaa that’s good!
Buy it for Old Lady Snider after all you pickpocketed her caps last week.
Buy it and share it with the old hag she’s gonna go feral anyway
Cause a panic by saying you see a Deathclaw in came and steal the box when no one is looking

1. You’ve been hoarding Radaway and a scavenger team has come back with radiation exposure. The clinic is all out. What do you do?

Sell it to them for triple the caps
Not my problem should have planned ahead
You’re feeling nice give them 5 for free
Open it in front of them and use it on yourself even though you don’t need it

Sorry for the length but there’s a lot of background to this one. We have been friends since high school. Always maintained the same type of friendship even though he moved away for school and has not moved back ‘home’ since. Everything has always been great between us and our long distance friendship. Until one yr I went to visit him and his girlfriend of 10 yrs. I showed up and was told his other best friend was coming as well when he arrived home from work the next day. I didn’t think much of this because I had met multiple friends of his and never had an issue. The next morning his gf went to work. I hung out at their apartment waiting on his arrival. When he showed up, his work ‘friend’ was with him, wearing part of his uniform flirting with him while walking into his apartment that he shared with his long term girlfriend. He’s always had an overly friendly and welcoming personality so I tried to not think much of it. As the weekend went on I saw how she demanded his attention and if she wasn’t getting it, all of a sudden had ‘health issues’ and he would stay be her asking what he could do trying to comfort her halting any further activities. If he was with his gf, and I was the only one to to talk to (for example they went inside a grocery store or bed together) she would sit there and complain about how they were always fighting and how annoying and tiring it was. I was utterly confused and I would ask what fight? You mean them conversating about plans?! I thought she was insane and I couldn’t fathom how he didn’t see it and allowed her to behave this way. The weekend ended, we all went our separate ways. Just for me to come back 9 months later to find out, she moved from the top of the US, to the bottom, to be in the same city as him. On this trip, the same behaviors continued. My friend allowed it. Even with it being a weekend to celebrate HIS GIRLFRIENDS BIRTHDAY, he managed to prioritize his ‘friend’. I was appalled and shocked. I didn’t recognize him as my best friend anymore. He’s always been goofy and welcoming and was always able to manage friendships and people being around without prioritizing one person. His gf and him always made sure to be inclusive and never make anyone feel like the third wheel, yet when this ‘friend’ was around, it was uncomfortable for anyone who knew him before her. On this trip she confronted me, stating that she gets the feeling that I don’t like her. I laughed and said well yeah, that’s because I don’t. I continued to explain that everyone compares her to me as ‘his best friend’ which I felt insulted by because I was his best friend. If he’s happy, I’m happy. I love and adore his gf. I had always supported his relationship. Because he chose it and continues to choose it and they had been building a life together. I was happy with his success in his career and him living a life that he genuinely enjoyed. But she seemed to not support his relationship and from my perspective, seemed to be planting issues and negative thoughts of his relationship. I never heard her speak positive about it. She knew she was driving a wedge and instead of backing off and letting them sort it out, she dug in deeper. She loved the control she had and refused to stop. I told her I couldn’t remotely respect anyone like that. She said that he started the flirting, he admitted to liking the attention and it was his fault. She said she would stop it and be better. Fast forward a few months, I came back to visit. Same type of behavior. At this point I’m overly annoyed. I’m taking time off of work, and money to travel just to go and get put on a back burner for a ‘friend’ who lives in the same city, works with (and changes her work schedule to spend more time with him). I would think that since I’m a 9 hr drive away, maybe I’d be just equal to the friends that live there and you see all of the time? No. She was treated and accommodated for more again. At this point, I’ve decided I’m done wasting my time and money to travel to see him. Luckily on all of the trips, I got to hang out with his girlfriend who I love and adore. Since it’s not my relationship and I wasn’t in the situations I will not say anything other than, this ‘friend’ caused them serious issues. While all relationships have issues, they always seemed to work them out. This issue persisted and the ‘friend’, from the what I can tell dug in deeper and latched on more the worse it got. I found out the ‘friend’ had done this to another couple but they cut her out and worked on their relationship. Which is what I thought my best friend would do. Instead, he allowed their issues with and without the ‘friend’ destroy their 10+yr relationship. He called me to ask me if I thought his ‘friend’ had anything to do with it. I laid it ALL out there. How I thought she had a huge part in it, their so called friendship was very toxic and how it was even driving a wedge into it our friendship. I told him about every trip how uncomfortable I was I told him about her confronting me and what I told her. I told him best friends aren’t madly in love and want to fuck each other. He said he wasn’t madly in love with her and that he didn’t want to fuck her and that they would never be together. He took what I said and acknowledged that I do not ever want to be around he. Him and his ex girlfriend came to visit me a few times after their break up. Oddly enough when they did, his ‘friend’ felt inclined to call me to complain about it. ‘Why would you let them come together?!’she asked. So I calmly said, well his ex was just going to come but then HE asked to come with. They were both fine with it in fact they still live together and are fine around each other so I’m not sure what the issue is? We got into a deep conversation and she admitted that she viewed what she was doing with him, while in a relationship, was at the very least emotionally cheating. I told her there’s no way she can remotely view herself as a ‘best friend’ if she’s assisting, knowingly helping him emotionally cheat. I told her she should consider getting a lot of space between them and counseling. (Also in some time frame from my last visit to now, less than a yr, she moved into his apartment complex because living in the same city wasn’t close enough) A few months later he was having a ‘milestone’ birthday so there were plans to rent a cabin in his state with his friends. I was told I was invited but had to ‘be nice’ to the ‘friend’ who was also going. I know that everyone except him was dreading the fact she was going. So I decided why should I waste time off, and money, to go to the middle of the woods to be pissed off? I had always been civil with her. Never mean, but him telling me to be nice and her knowing that she caused issues and not stopping, I don’t think I could hold my tongue around her anymore. I didn’t go which I would have killed to go and celebrate my best friend but I couldn’t because I can’t be around her. My best friend and I got in a very big fight about this. My other best friend who went, told me he was glad I didn’t go because nothing had changed and I would have gone off on her and called the bad guy for calling her out on her shitty actions. Still my best friend doesn’t feel comfortable letting me come to visit because he would feel like he had to put one person above the other while I was there (for one weekend a yr) instead he feels it is best that I let him find the time to come visit me… even though coming back home, he has family and other old friends to make time for and visit so typically we get maybe 2-3 hrs together. I think that this is absolutely ridiculous and that he’s prioritizing his ‘friend’ who lives a short walk away from him. So am I the asshole for wanting to end our friendship?

100% of the problems I have in my life is single-handedly caused by my narcissistic parents. Their selfish entitled behavior has fucked my life over a dozens of times, they’re extremely selfish and self centered: they don’t care about my needs AT ALL. My Nmom wants her needs taken care of, even her financially irresponsible ones. She wants me to serve all of them to her with a golden spoon. She wants to be babied like a child. Within the last 2 years I have not been okay at all in any aspect of my life whether it’s education wise, emotional wise, mentally, and physically. I legit have to go to fucking therapy to sort my trauma out that my nparents has caused me. FUCK. I didn’t like a normal life like everyone else who has healthy parents. My parents gave birth to me so I could coddle their ego and serve their needs like a slave. They treat me like shit and dictate how I should be treated, they’re basically indirectly saying how I should be treated as a human being and it’s shit. It’s absolutely awful.
My Nmom is extremely mean to me. Her entire personality is mean, she just a mean person and idk if she’s just like that to me or other people but she’s mean. I live with her and it’s so hard to explain how she treats me. She treats me like a labor slave yk? She wants me to do all her dirty work while she goes out and has so much fun. Shes the type of mother who can help her children out but chooses not to because of her selfish needs and desires matter more.
So I want nothing to do with her. All she does is treat me badly. She doesn’t care about me. She could live her life like normal if I died. My Nmom is always bombarding me with text messages asking if i’m okay and I ate. It boggles my mind because she’s those type of parents who verbally do the most but when it comes to them actually showing that they care they don’t do it. I’m tired of my mother trying to constantly talk to me like she cares about me. She always talks to me if it’s because she wants to talk about herself, the family or if it’s because she needs something or one a rare occasion she wants to act like she cares about me. Like just sto. why can’t she stop? I don’t talk to my Nmom at all unless she talks to me first. I do not speak to my mother at all. The only time we do speak is if she comes to me first, and sometimes I don’t even text back to her because I genuinely don’t wanna talk to her. I hate talking to that women. She only cares about herself. She constantly has to be talking to me and it’s never even about her asking ABOUT ME. About MY life s about what i’m doing and what i’m up to. If she does it’s always because she wants to sabotage it. There’s nothing I want more than my Nmom never speaking to me again. Her actions are TERRIBLE but she fakes a nice caring personality verbally which doesn’t even cost much effort and that’s why she does it.
Her reals self is how she acts towards me physically and personality wise. It doesn’t take much to say ILY to a person you don’t give a fuck about. I’m literally walking to my local job service to help me become employed. This generation is fucked employment wise. I can’t live on good terms with this women because she always picks fights wirh me and always wants something of mine. It’s so toxic and emotionally draining. I cannot. My mom is the problem. I can’t ugh it’s so overwhelming. I can’t find a full time job anywhere and if I do I’ll spend my entire days there because that’s the only way I can decrease my time being around my Nmom.

Looking for someone to type out the information from my businesses menu from a photo. I dont really care how you do it. Payment can be sent from zelle, cashapp, or venmo only. It is only 2 pages and is super simple I just dont have the time

I love fishing a lot, and with some free time on my hands, I want to start creating my own business selling lures and other products. But one thing I want to do is create a “mystery box”. This product will be full of lures that the customer doesn’t choose, but it chose by me randomly. I want to put OTHER companies’ lures and fishing supplies/products in the mystery box. I want to know the legal details about this type of idea. Can I do it? How can I do it? Someone doesn’t have to directly explain it to me, they can give me a link to read online. Thank you!

I (f22) am nervous about the possibility of a gender journey causing a breakup with my boyfriend (m23).
In the last few years I've fully shaved my head, dyed it a million colors, and currently it's in a mullet-y style. I've always been a little wary that I'm not super straight presenting, and if he feels some type of way about that. He doesn't control my hair in any way, and I just want to express my bisexuality in somehow, especially because he's my first (real) boyfriend and I've never dated anyone else. My hair has never been an issue between us, it's just a clear indicator that I'm a little queer.
We've been together since the summer of 2020, and I love him so so much. We both still live with our parents as he finishes school and I am... directionless (Maybe grad school, maybe just a job, idk).
I think we are both pretty conflict avoidant people, and I haven't brought up that I've shifted my pronouns from she/her to any/all. It's a really minor shift but it's sort of a step into the possibility of a bigger gender shift.
I also was raised super religious, so my whole M.O. for the first 17 years of my life was get married early and have a bunch of babies, which has been a separate struggle of mine (do I want children or have I been wired to want children, in this world is it even ethical to bring more souls to earth, am I destined for the tradwife life if I have kids, etc). Which is why I think I've held so closely to the idea that I'm a woman. Because I've always been seen as a woman and my value has been placed on my reproductive capabilities.
I love my boyfriend so much and I'm worried that if I go on a gender journey and find that I'm not a woman, that we won't have the future that I've been thinking of the last 3.5 years. Which is a possibility I'm having to get comfortable with and it kills me. I also worry that if I just throw this gender possibility under the rug that I'll come back to it in another 3 years and find myself just deeper in the relationship with the same issues. My boyfriend isn't homophobic, but I don't think he's really queer in any way so I worry that this may be the end.
I'd like advice on how to find yourself gender wise, because I think this is what I have to do. I plan to talk through this with him and we'll decide together if we can stay together or if we're just not compatible in this way. It absolutely breaks my heart, but I'd rather live fully authentically and talk through this now than waste both of our time with something that won't go anywhere.
I also hate the possibility that I come back from this journey with the answer I am a woman, because then it'll seem like I'm bullshitting.? Maybe not even that, I just don't want to throw away this relationship if I can help it.
Anyways. Thanks in advance. I didn't know where else to go for something like this (other than the therapy appointment I just got out of).

So I have this interest in a guy in my year, and I’m quite sure he has an interest in me.
But I see him everywhere, everyday, and I always become this annoyingly embarrassing and loud version of myself.
I don’t even know why, I really don’t want him to notice me. I’ve been avoiding him on purpose but he always seems to just be there.
It’s starting to make me angry cause I have no interest in a relationship and I’m quite scared of being in one to be honest.
I don’t know why I like him or anything. He’s not my type at all and i want to stop liking him. But it’s instinct for me to go all weird and giddy around him and that freaks me out cause I’m not the sappy lovey type.
I don’t like physical touch much and I’ve never really had much interest in crushes anyway.
What do these feelings mean and how can I make myself feel more comfortable without liking him?

Hi everyone! We're excited to announce that our reactive web UI framework is now public. This project has been in the works for quite some time, and we're excited to share it with you. Feel free to check it out and share your feedback!

• GitHub
• Website

There is a short coding GIF on GitHub.

What My Project Does

Rio is a brand new GUI framework designed to let you create modern web apps with just a few lines of Python. Our goal is to simplify web and app development, allowing you to focus on what matters most instead of getting stuck on complicated user interface details.
We achieve this by adhering to the core principles of Python that we all know and love. Python is meant to be simple and concise, and Rio embodies this philosophy. There's no need to learn additional languages like HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, as all UI, logic, components, and even layout are managed entirely in Python. Moreover, there's no separation between front-end and back-end; Rio transparently handles all communication for you.

Target Audience

Rio is perfect for data scientists who want to create web apps without learning new languages. With Rio, it's easy to create interactive apps that let stakeholders explore results and give feedback, so you can stay focused on your data analysis and model development. Plus, Rio offers more flexibility than frameworks like Gradio or Streamlit, giving you greater control over your app's functionality and design.

Showcase

Rio doesn't just serve HTML templates like you might be used to from frameworks like Flask. In Rio you define components as simple dataclasses with a React/Flutter style build method. Rio continuously watches your attributes for changes and updates the UI as necessary.

class MyComponent(rio.Component): clicks: int = 0 def _on_press(self) -> None: self.clicks += 1 def build(self) -> rio.Component: return rio.Column( rio.Button('Click me', on_press=self._on_press), rio.Text(f'You clicked the button {self.clicks} time(s)'), ) app = rio.App(build=MyComponent) app.run_in_browser() 

Notice how there is no need for any explicit HTTP requests. In fact there isn't even a distinction between frontend and backend. Rio handles all communication transparently for you. Unlike ancient libraries like tkinter, Rio ships with over 50 builtin components in Google's Material Design. Moreover the same exact codebase can be used for both local apps and websites.

Key Features

• Full-Stack Web Development: Rio handles front-end and backend for you. In fact, you won't even notice they exist. Create your UI, and Rio will take care of the rest.
• Python Native: Rio apps are written in 100% Python, meaning you don't need to write a single line of CSS or JavaScript.
• Modern Python: We embrace modern Python features, such as type annotations and asynchrony. This keeps your code clean and maintainable, and helps your code editor help you out with code completions and type checking.
• Python Debugger Compatible: Since Rio runs on Python, you can connect directly to the running process with a debugger. This makes it easy to identify and fix bugs in your code.
• Declarative Interface: Rio apps are built using reusable components, inspired by react, flutter & vue. They're declaratively combined to create modular and maintainable UIs.
• Batteries included: Over 50 builtin components based on Google's Material Design

We welcome your thoughts and questions in the comments! If you like the project, please give it a star on GitHub to show your support and help us continue improving it.

I've been catching up on the IDW series out of a desire to see what they do with issue 150 (please no spoilers or opinions on what happens post-Armageddon Game). I'll share my overall thoughts on 101-150 after I've finished, but for now I wanted to take a minute to talk about The Armageddon Game.
On the whole, it was a miss for me. There are some decent elements and ideas to it, but it doesn't come together as a satisfying story.
The Lead-up
For me, the build-up felt too brief. Particularly, the element of Shredder training the turtles and teaching them kuji-kiri. There had been elements of mysticism leading up to this (reincarnation, astral projection), but the turtles being able to wield abilities like this feels like a major shift that deserved more time to carry a fitting sense of weight. I grew up watching Dragon Ball Z. Often, there would be some sort of warning of when the next major threat would hit, so there'd be a full string of episodes depicting the characters in training. It made increases in their power feel earned and effectively set the stage so that when the conflict arrived, viewers had the sense that the last however many episodes had built to this moment. It was finally time to test whether the training had been enough. The training here just feels so quick and easy. I would've liked to see a full arc or two rooted in them having to unlock this potential within themselves. Make the breakthrough moments feel earned and satisfying so that the new status quo of their increased formidability feels like the culmination of a real journey.
The Scope
On paper, it sounds epic. A TMNT event spanning about 25 issues. A conflict with an ancient, immortal being, spanning dimensions and pulling in the turtles greatest foes and allies. But in execution, it's just unwieldy, lacking effective structure and momentum. Too much feels unrelated. The recruitment mission in Dimension Z (or was it X) feels entirely disconnected from the stake of the upheaval in Mutant Town. The Triceraton/Utrom conflict feels like an unrelated complication that just happens to coincide with and spill over into the problems in Mutant Town. Rather than one, multifaceted story, it feels like multiple truncated arcs thrown in a blender together to all of their detriment.
The "Game"...
didn't really feel like a game. Reading the title "The Armageddon Game", I was so intrigued about what the actual game would be. It's not like I expected them to play monopoly, but when I think about a contest or game, there's an objective, parameters, rules, strategy, etc. Done right, that's a pretty cool story! Stories with game-based struggles and conflicts that come to mind Die Hard with a Vengeange, Marvel's Secret Wars (original version), Jumanji, Ready Player One, and Knives Out

The story fails to deliver on the game element structurally or thematically. In effect, Rat King gets a few villains together and says "Do some bad stuff." And they do. But it doesn't really feel like he's manipulating the pieces on the board. In spite of referring to his allies in chess terms (his knight, his queen) Rat King never feels like the sort of crafty mastermind you'd want to be the antagonist of a deadly game.
I wanted to see a back and forth, move/countermove cerebral interplay. Give me a classic "We played right into his hand! Rat King has been two steps ahead of us this whole time!" moment.
I can imagine a version of this in which Rat King lays out the parameters, describing it as a game of both wits and brawn. Naturally everyone is like "Donnie, take the lead." Mikey tries to advise him at certain points citing his knowledge of games, but Donnie dismisses his "DnD experience." Yet Donnie's more conventional, intellectual approach is easy for Rat King to anticipate and outmaneuver. Ultimately, Donnie has to learn some humility and respect for Mikey's way of thinking, combining their strengths for a final play that outwits Rat King. It sounds a bit like someone that could happen in a 20-minute episode, but I think there's a way to do that that suits the complexity you'd want from a story like this.
The Ending
The conclusion of the story just felt awkward to me. There's so much going on that they end up having elements of climax and resolution at the same time. While the Turtles have their final showdown with Rat King, other stories are already wrapping up. April and Sally dictate the terms of how Stockman will help Mutant Town and then someone is like "Where did Shredder take the turtles?" It's just weird to have things so disjointed in terms of the level of tension.
After this whole "game" Rat King is basically like "I'm going to kill you all and destroy everything!" So what was the point of all that led up to this? Did any of what his alliance did or failed to do matter? And then it all comes down to Cherubae, who we barely know, and the turnstone, a MacGuffin that the story barely focused on. A fairly unsatisfying conclusion to a fairly unsatisfying story.
Closing Thoughts
I didn't hate this story, but it's frustrating because it felt like a major missed opportunity. I truly believe everyone involved did their best, but I don't think they had a grasp on how to handle this type of event and capitalize on the potential of this premise. It would be less irksome if it was just a regular arc, but they stretch the story out over so many issues told through multiple series to do so little narratively.

I want to start with Nevada first doing all dlc then move to Capital Wastes.I'm a completionist that does not want to reach max level until i've done and explored almost everything.For balancing i'm planning to use SawyerBatty.I know Jsawyer ultimate nerfed xp gain by 33% in exchange for lowering max level to 35 but im not sure how SawyerBatty handles xp gains all the desciption says that the max level restriction is removed(i assume i can level to 60 now).
If SawyerBatty keeps the xp reduction will it be enough to handle all the killing and questing i will be doing?
I read somewhere that you can grab doctor Usanagi's implants safely before getting Almost Perfect safely,for 10s across the board.My start will be 6-5-8-1-7-5-8 going for a hybrid melee/lasepower armor on hardcore(I assume 8 int is enough for 100 all stats and 30 perks points enough for a dual weapon type build).I also heard that TTW removed about half the skill books so i dont completely break the progression by searching for them or using Comprehension at lvl4.

After getting fed up with seeing all these quick approvals, I finally contacted my congresswoman's office on April 30. On May 9, I received this email:
"I received an update from the ATF. Please see below for what they said.
“Form/eForm 4699000, control # 202481100, was received on 11/9/23. As of 5/7/24, it is PENDING with ATF because it is in a RESEARCHING status with the FBI’s Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). RESEARCHING status with FBI/NICS could mean that there’s an issue in the applicant’s record, or something that needs to be corrected or clarified. ATF cannot complete the transfer without a definitive PROCEED from FBI/NICS
Form/eForm 5077700, control # 2024316600, was received on 2/8/24. As of 5/7/24, it is PENDING with ATF because it is in a RESEARCHING status with the FBI’s Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). RESEARCHING status with FBI/NICS could mean that there’s an issue in the applicant’s record, or something that needs to be corrected or clarified. ATF cannot complete the transfer without a definitive PROCEED from FBI/NICS.”
Our office has a great contact with the FBI, so I will reach out to him today to see why the status is currently “researching”, and not getting processed. As soon as I get an update from him, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, if you have any questions please reach back out!"
On May 13, I received this email:
"I received a response form the FBI this morning. Please see below for what they said.
"The NICS Section reviewed Applicant's request. Based on name and descriptive data, multiple background checks regarding a National Firearms Act (NFA) were finalized by the NICS Section on 5/11/24. However, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) enforces firearm laws and conducts firearm background checks required for specific regulated firearms pursuant to the NFA. Therefore, your constituent must continue to contact the ATF.
Your constituent is encouraged to contact the ATF and indicate to that office, multiple NICS background checks containing the name Applicant were completed on 5/11/24. Then request an update from their office regarding the NFA checks."
It looks like the hold back was due to the NICS background check. Now that the background check has been finalized the ATF can finally process those Forms. I’m happy to reach back out to ATF if you are having trouble getting ahold of them. I hope this response was helpful, and if you need any more assistance please reach back out."
This morning, I received the email from the ATF approving one of the two items (the one from last November). Was hoping they would batch but will see how things go. Clearly, the assistance from my congresswoman helped shake things loose, so I would highly recommend doing the same if you run into the same type of delay these days. Honestly, I was shocked how helpful and effective her office was in helping, they couldn't have been nicer.

I spilled some juice on my keyboard and I cleaned it up a bit rough and pressed a couple keys and it has now decided to type in ancient tongue with symbols, it has nothing to do with the keyboard or PC because I tried it on an old keyboard and it’s doing the same, anybody know how to fix this?

My children ask me “Papa! Papa! It’s springtime and the flowers are blooming, can we go outside and be merry?” I’m sorry my sweet children, but I must type out another explanation of Scott and Will’s dynamic on the show and how, to the studious observer, they are actually good friends. My partner in business calls, saying “You’re taking too much time off and the horse costume needs two people to work right. The whole head just flops around when it’s only me in the back and no one thinks It’s real.” Sorry Jeff, but I’ve been busy scrubbing through the back catalogue of best-of episodes, dutifully searching for the exact moment where Scott gushes about how much he enjoys working with Will, and again, how they are friends. Your capitalist greed will have to wait, Jeff.
I’ve always striven to be one of the “helpers” that Mr. Rogers spoke of, but perhaps I am giving too much of myself. Perhaps it’s time to help less, and to give up on the dream of living in a world where no citizen is burdened by the belief that Scott is being mean and Will is butthurt about it. To give up and let the apathy close in around me.

Hey all, I've been working as a fullstack web developer for 6 years after getting my undergrad degree in Philosophy and retraining along the way.
I'm seriously considering getting a second bachelors in computer science or doing the Bridge to CS masters at Tandon. Does anyone have any experience with these two programs? Would love to hear folks who did Bridge specifically, and whether or not they were able to keep up with the workload coming from a non-CS background.
