2024.05.15 04:29 showmethemoney_69 About to move into a new apartment and desperate for advice.

About to move into a new apartment and desperate for advice.
I've never been good at decorating my apartments. Now with a clean slate and no roommates, I'd really like to make the best of this space.
I have no furniture other than a Persian rug and a wood dining table but both are pretty large so I'm not even sure they would look good. The rug would take up majority of the floor space in either room being 12'x8' and same with the table at 6'x3'. Ideally, I'd like to have a small work desk and/or lounge chair for reading but I can't imagine where.
Though not ideal, I think the best location for a queen bed would be tucked-in below the angled ceiling (37" at its lowest point). I don't like the cupboards there but I think I could cover them up with a headboard and shelving unit at the side of the bed.
I'm sure I'm over thinking this all but any suggestions for furniture, colours, materials, layout would be greatly appreciated.

2024.05.15 03:08 richoka The Small Window – Recognizing God’s Escape Routes in Crisis

There is a truth I’ve discovered about how God helps us in times of need.
I could be going through a time of great chaos and uncertainty…
Yet amid the fear and worry, I notice the Lord is faithful and always provides a way of escape.
It could be something small…
For instance, imagine you’re trapped in a burning building…
The flames are getting thicker and the heat is intensifying…
You start to panic for your life…
But then you look over to your left…
And you notice a small window…
You walk closer and discover it’s large enough for you to squeeze through and escape.
I think this is a good example of how God works in our lives.
If you’re feeling confused and depressed about some issue, He’ll send a person your way to communicate a comforting message you need to hear.
If you’re broke with no money to buy food, He’ll direct your attention to that can of beans you stored away in your cupboard a while ago…
And so on.
Why do I bring this up?
Because it reminds me of what happened when Avyatar arrived at David’s fort with the devastating news that Achimelech and all the priests at Nob had been slaughtered.
At that moment, David knew his lies and deception had caused this tragedy.
He openly confessed this and promised to care for Avyatar, the only surviving priest.
But not only that…
And this is the important detail that connects to what I’ve been saying about how God provides what we need in tough times.
Although it’s not mentioned in this chapter (it’s mentioned in the next chapter), Avyatar managed to bring along the priest’s ritual vest with him when he escaped.
Why is this important?
Well, the ritual vest contained the precious Urim and Thummim.
This meant that David now had a way to interpret and discern God’s Will.
This was going to prove invaluable in the days ahead.
And that’s your takeaway.
Despite the chaos and tragedy of the situation…
Through Avyatar, the only priest who survived the massacre at Nob…
God provided a lifeline to David to ensure he would not only survive but thrive in the days ahead.
CONNECTING THIS TEACHING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT
“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” -1 Corinthians 10:13

2024.05.15 03:07 paegus What if the Super Destroyer leaving orbit dropped an emergency beacon somewhere and it only collected samples?

Things took too long. The Super Destroyer has left the stratosphere. Your stratagems are gone. No reinforcements are coming to help you now. The Enemies of Democracy are everywhere! Your uninformed squadmate is cursing out the phantom 5th divers that called the Pelican!
Whatever happens now does not involve you going home. This planet will be your grave. But hope is not lost, Helldiver. While the extraction tile is now grayed out, unusable, somewhere, semi-randomly, in the single worst location on the map, an emergency beacon has landed on flattish ground. It pulses its all welcoming light skyward.
It has no room for you though. It's a small box on a rocket barely large enough to reach the retreating Super Destroyers. The box is just large enough for all of your samples. Do your patriotic duty and get those samples to what used to be your super destroyers.
A future Helldiver in your cupboard will surely appreciate your ultimate sacrifice!
Super Earth commends you for your efforts!

2024.05.15 01:20 pyroguy387 At the end of it all

Jacob's father set down his bowl of soup and approached one of the large windows at the back of the cabin. As he brushed past he shared a glance with jacob's mother and she quickly began clearing their makeshift dining table. "Nothing to be scared of sweetheart." she whispered into his ear, reaching around him to turn down the lantern.
As the light dimmed within the cabin it was replaced with a tense silence. Jacobs father stood there, rigid and focused, peering into the black forest that surrounded them. His mother began reaching towards his father, hoping to assure him there was nothing out there but he quickly turned and raised a hand, freezing her in place.
Then Jacob heard it. A soft whooshing sound began humming its tune into the cabin. It was a soft rhythmic sound but it felt like it was all around them. Jacobs father began to turn away from the window, his eyes large and wild with anxiety, when all at once the sound shrank to nothing and was instantly replaced by a loud CRACK!
The window explodes next to Jacobs father. which sends him sprawling across the floor in a cloud of twinkling shards. His mother shrieks and scrambles across the broken glass to her husband. She skids to a halt by his side, ignoring the glass slivers that sink deep into her knees. She turns him from his side on to his back and lets out a brief baffled cry as she processes the dark and bloody pulp oozing from where his left eye should have been. Her hands desperately probe her pockets and produce a small rag that she presses to his wound. Her fingers sink uncomfortably deep into his skull as she attempts to apply pressure, he moans and weakly reaches toward his eye. Realization that he is still alive gives her more relief than her situation allows. She takes a deep trembling breath and smiles through tears, peering down she tells her husband to relax. She places a light reassuring kiss on his hand and gestures for Jacob to come closer. Jacob who has pressed himself against the cupboards at the far end of the narrow kitchen, begins slowly crawling towards his parents. He is shaking with fear as he tries to carefully navigate his way through the glass. The lantern is still burning very low atop their table and it helps him pick his way through the debris but as he completes the journey and wraps his arms around his mother, the sound returns.
Thrumming and pulsing against the wind, the sound fills the cabin once more. Jacobs mother lifts her gaze from her husband and all traces of relief are drained away. Terrified she quickly instructs Jacob and they both begin pulling and dragging his father toward a closet near the front door of the cabin. They have barely made it a few feet when the sound condenses into a crack of thunder once more. A window in the kitchen ruptures into a million pieces and the cabin is suddenly dropped into the same ink black atmosphere of the forest.

2024.05.14 22:54 Free-Selection-3454 Observations after changing schools. Is it just me?

Hi all,This year I moved to a new school after 7 years in a previous school (Catholic college - primary and secondary). I left due to 2 colleagues I once admired, respected, enjoyed working with and called friends either bullying, excluding and/or undermining me in front of my students and theirs across the whole school year.Moved to a new school (Catholic and systemtic) and am finding many of their ways of operating very foreign, adding to my work and time and am constantly frustrated by lack of consistency, lack of standards and zero acknowledgement of my noticeable student progression and improvement since my arrival.
A few factors that are frustrating and aggravating:
-Apart from myself and one other staff member, ALL other staff (teachers, Teacher Assistants, the Deputy, office admin, specialists) are ALL part-time in the primary campus. In and of itself this is not a problem, however it leads to a lack of consistency and stability for me as I am constantly playing catch-up due to the rotating nature of the year-level team. It affects student behaviour (not so much mine, but the other classes) due to no consistency with teachers. Seems to be a high level of rotating teahers on LSL (short stints) and staff on and off from parental leave. No staff nmeeting I have been to yet has had all staff there.
-Behaviour of students is atrocious when compared to other schools in the area and previous schools from my decade + experience. Students are verbally rude, cannot settle and focus and there are often physical altercations in the playground. I've spent a term and a half really breaking down behaviour expectations, routines and standards. I am making progress, but there is so much stacked against us.
-Parent copmmunity is INTENSE. Moreso than I have ever experienced. Teachers are consistently told their "tone"when talking to parents is rude/negative/insert critique here, parents are constantly emailing teachers to complain about other children and flat out ignoring any and all comunication about their own child. When I asked leadership about this, the reasoning given is either, "Parents at this school have always been like this" or "It's the culture of the area. We get families from all over"meaning the greater metropolitan area. I persoinally do not think this argument holds up as previous schools I've been at have accepted students from relatively large areas in terms of distance.
-EVERYTHING is done as a team." While this sounds great on the face of it, it adds so much to personal workloads when reporting, individual lesson planning, unit planning, NCCD work, resouirce development and/or sourcing, sending emails to parents, responding to emails from parents and more all has to be done as a committee of 7 people. Nothing gets done efficiently or within a desired timeframe.
-Classes - For each year level (double-stream), we routinely mix and match students. Not just for programs (e.g. Spelling) but for ALL subjects and curriculum areas. This means that in theory, I have a class of 31 (e.g. my roll call list), however in any given lesson I could be receiving students from the next-door class. Sometimes the classes stay the same (students) but we (teachers) swap. This makes assessing and reporting a nightmare, as it is unproductive, inefficient and there is no consistency.The reason for this has nothing to do with student learning, outcomes or development. It occurs "to stop parents complaining about which teacher they do/do not get for their child," "to stop parents emailing and complaining about if child x or y is in their child's class."It also means that due to the way the "team-teaching" works, I will never teach certain subjects (e.g. Science or Geography) this year. I have been given subjects the other teachers on Year 5 do not want: Religion, History for example
-Students miss out on opportunities for growth, e.g. in Science as we need to fill out risk assessments for items like using the school oval outside of lunch times and for simple, basic Science experiments (e.g. mixing two liquids - liquids that are not hot, cold). EVERY science experiment of any category needs a risk assessment.I came in so excited about subjects like Science... no more. Can't take the class outside for a brain break as we'd have to book the oval and fill out a risk assessment.
-Class sizes are 31+ and the school has a high volume of EAL and students with various diagnoses. In a class of 31, 20+ are either EAL and/or have a diagnosis (e.g. autism, ADHD, etc)-Zero autonomy. I have to go through 3 supervisors just to respond to a parent email (even if it is wholly positive), I am told what kind of visual aid posters I can/can't have in my room (e.g. a times table chart or a poster on English contractions).
-Release time a joke. I have to sit in my class cupboard as this is the only place in the school that is:--Free of gossiping staff--Free of staff talking in general--The only place staff and/or students will not interrupt me.-Staff are friendly (cheerfully greeting/seeing how my day is/was, seeming interested in me as a person and educator) but there is so much gossip about each other and parents/families. I could go to a staff member with a purely work-related question (e.g. planning or how a school process works) and the conversation almost always ends up being twisted to a poorly behaved student/complaining/gossiping. Even after I have point blank made it clear I do not engage in gossip and find it fractures teams/colleagues and do not have the time for it.
-Multiple duties each day of the week (as we are únderstaffed'' - same as every other school in Australia)-Duty roster (playground) changes every single week due to the high volume of absent staff, staff with multiple roles, etc So no stability or consistency there either.-Foced to pay money into a school social club each week for amenities (e.g. milk/coffee/biscuits) which I never use in a staffroom I never visit or for gifts of departing/retiring/staff going on parental leave.... Yet every time a staff member fits these categories, we get emails from leaders asking if we would like to choose to put towards a gift.... so unsure why I was told the social club goes to gifts. Tried getting out of it in writing (I pay more being one of the few full-time staff) only to be told, "In your contract, you signed that you will be paying money into the social club." Nothing in my contract at all, and I asked the state union to have a look just in case I am blind and having a man's look. They too clearly stated there is nothing in there.
My question is, after 7 years in a school I enjoyed (apart from the aforementioned 2 colleagues changing how they interact with me) is this the norm in Australian Catholic schools (primary and/or combined primary/secondary colleges). I used to be so effective, productive and built strong and positive student relationships. I am now ineffective, unproductive, my time and experience is wasted and my experience seems to be for naught.
*Is this the new normal?
*Is anyone else so utterly heartbroken, soul-crushed and demoralised (and I guess, angry and frustrated) by red tape/inefficiency/unproductiveness, etc?
Any thoughts? Cheers, legends.

2024.05.14 07:57 duckgoose7 various monsters?

In my dream, I was back in one of my childhood homes with my mom in her room. I asked some type of question about the large cupboard she used to have, so she opened it for the first time in many months. Out of it sprang a large, dark dog who seemed to be either very angry or rabid. We were shocked by the fact that it was alive, considering the cupboard had been closed shut for way too long. It bit us and then ran off. My mom said that it had to be a rat due to how long it survived.
Flash forward to another dream: there was this stranger bunker-type basement which no one knew where it led to. Whenever people went down it, they would never come back, and whenever someone opened the door, they'd see a vague shape of some kind of monster's face looming in the darkness. A girl I used to be best friends with in primary school was there, and she had to rescue her sister, and a guy I go to uni with (I don't talk to him) was there to rescue a strange large possum. The girl went down there first, and she came back out alive, cradling her sister. She gave us both precise instructions as to how it was possible to survive. For whatever reason, as the guy was about to go down there, I had this feeling that maybe I loved him, so I decided to give him a hug. The hug lasted a long time, but I remember wishing it went on for longer. He went down there and survived while carrying an abnormally large child. Later on, someone else went down to rescue my sister, who ran away from home because she was frustrated with our parents. When she came back up she looked to be on the brink of death.

2024.05.14 04:46 woholi Basement Heating Advice

I have a house in Eastern MA that I’m looking to put heat in the basement of and I’d like some advice. The living spaces on the main floors are all heated by two multi zone ductless systems (48kBTU total) that do quite well for the space in our climate. I also have a center chimney with a large wood stove (55kBTU) that heats the whole house well when it is on. As this house was formerly heated with electric baseboard, theres no boiler in the basement and as a result, there is no source of heat down there and it gets down into the high 40’s mid winter. The basement is half finished, and I’d like to add some heating to help keep it warmer and make the space nicer overall. There is an open second flue on the chimney that I could use as exhaust, but it’s in the finished room.
Ideas so far: A: Add a third ductless system, maybe just a single 12k standalone. This would be pretty cost effective as I could DIY. I’m likely going to do solar in the somewhat near future, so more electric use isn’t bad. The downside of this, is I’m hugely reliant on electricity for heat, and I don’t have a whole house generator. I’d like something that could provide some baseline heating load if there happened to be a multi day power outage and I wasn’t around to keep the wood stove going.
B: Install another wood burning stove down there. This would be great in concept, but it’s not the most convenient place to carry wood down to, and I don’t necessarily want to maintain two fires all winter. It also isn’t very kid-friendly, as the finished side of the basement is a rec room type space.
C: Instal a propane fired heater of some kind down there. This is my favorite idea so far, but I don’t know which type of product would be best. I already have a propane bottle for my stove, so I could easily add a second load. I like the concept of a fossil fuel heat source that doesn’t require electricity, though I know some of the products do need power to run fans. I’m familiar with the direct vent style wall mounted heaters, but I don’t know if those could be set up to vent out of a flue on a masonry chimney instead. The basement is totally below grade and there is very little space high on the wall for a wall vent. (No real rim joist to punch through with something larger than a couple inches).
So that being said, my main question is what would be the best propane heater technology to use in a basement to supply the space with reliable and efficient heat? Should I just do another ductless system and get a generator to ease my mind? I do already have a 30A transfer switch installed but I don’t have a generator and I know 30A isn’t really enough to feed multiple ductless systems

2024.05.14 03:52 JHolgate Sauce Idea

I swear it was this sub, but it may have been Argh! Cooking! Anyway, someone posted a question about what other sauces we like besides X (I don't remember which one they were asking about.) Anyway, I found myself inadvertently experimenting with the Lime Crema/Lime Mayo sauces and came up with my own:
Zesty Lemon/Lime Mayo Crema Sauce
Ingredients:
Directions:
  1. Whisk all ingredients in a small Stainless mixing bowl
  2. Put in squeeze bottle using large cupboard funnel
*Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder and Garlic Powder. I basically use it any time they call for "salt & pepper." Most recipes have it at 4:2:2:2, but I do it at 3: or even 2: as a part of a low-sodium diet.

2024.05.13 18:57 levels523 Apt Lease & Incorrect Expiration

Hello and thank you in advance for any feedback that may be offered.
I moved into an apt on 4/1/24. The day that I moved in, I was signing the lease in the LL’s kitchen (lives below unit). We verbally agreed on a month to month basis, as the apt wasn’t in great shape and I knew that it would be temporary. I took the man at his word and made the mistake of not looking at the term of the lease, which was foolish and a learning experience. Immediately upon moving in, I realized that things were not satisfactory. The apartment, the actions (or lack there of) of the LL and overall experience has been horrendous. I’m going to detail the issues with the unit and what has transpired since moving in below. I’m absolutely moving out at the end of the month, I’ve informed the LL and despite initially protesting, once I stood my ground and stated some of the larger issues, he backed down and said “we will part ways on friendly terms” I believe because he knows he’s a slum lord and this unit reflects that. The lease states a 12 month term, but has a commencement date of 4/1/24 and a termination date of 3/31/24. I’m not that concerned and again I’m moving no matter what, but I think he would take me to SC if he thought he could win, so I’m wondering if the term dates void the lease out. This is in NYS. Issues are as follows..
Unit had not been cleaned, seemingly in months, or prepared for move in. Every floor and surface was disgusting. Stains on carpets. Bathroom and shower were filthy. Window sills covered in dead bugs. Move in day was spent cleaning instead of unpacking.
Apt was not emptied. Large piece of furniture was drilled to the floor (still not removed), cupboards and drawers had random contents in them, old wall decor collecting dust on the walls. After requesting these things be removed multiple times over the course of multiple weeks and offering to help remove these items, I eventually had to gather items and put them at the bottom of the hallway stairs for collection.
Every single room had areas that need to be painted. Mounts from the past were filled and not touched up. He tried to give me cans of paint twice saying “so I can touch things up if I notice them”.
On April 14th (2 weeks after move in), I noticed that the window to the point of entry was broken (filled in with cardboard and electrical tape) and although he did have it fixed, he said that it happened the morning that I moved in and I’m concerned that I wasn’t made aware of it, and it was not fixed until I mentioned it.
The hot water pressure in the shower stopped working on April 14th and has still not been resolved whatsoever. Up to this point, the only attempts to fix it were not by a plumber, but by a private handyman who left my bathroom in disarray on 2 separate occasions, both being failures to resolve to the problem.
Multiple door frames have had trim falling off due to not being sufficiently nailed in and secured. I have had to nail these door frames in myself.
Smoke detector in kitchen hanging on a loose nail in the wall, living room smoke detector was in a kitchen drawer.
This may all seem exaggerated, but it’s not in the slightest. I could add more if I wanted to get really petty, but I feel this is more than sufficient. So the lease terms is almost a small detail. I’m moving because this whole situation is atrocious, but I’m wondering if that detail would be in my favor or his. I was planning to take him to court, but don’t want more conflict in my life and most likely won’t. He just asked for a “list of what made the unit uninhabitable” which gave me the impression he’s considering filing a claim.
Would appreciate any legal insight or feedback. Thanks again.

2024.05.13 18:36 oTurtlez Expected Cost to Re-roof 100 Year Old Home?

Expected Cost to Re-roof 100 Year Old Home?
I'm a relatively new homeowner and in a bit of a pickle.
Tl;dr I've got a 28 square cedar shake roof covered with two layers of shingles that needs to be replaced and I'm getting quotes in the $1k/sq range. Thoughts?
The home is a three story brick colonial, built in 1923. Best information put the existing roof having been done as recently as 2008. Well, that being 15 years ago we're getting into the roundabout time period for replacement and especially so since this house still has its original cedar shake roof...under two layers of asphalt shingles.
Apparently this is very commonly done, but very much not recommended to do, yet people did it to save money. Either way, fast forward and I end up having a damn raccoon find its way into the attic and she ended up damaging a section of previously water damaged cedar before we could get her out.
Note*** my homeowners insurance policy specifically excludes damage caused by animals, it does not specify between vermin/pests/rodents/wildlife unfortunately.
That whole endeavor revealed the unpatachability of the roof, its overall condition, and what my next steps are. If we try to do just the nasty section shown below, it'll involve quite a bit of blending to make it function, at a cost of nearly 1/4 of the whole roof.
Currently, since it's a cedar shake base, we're looking at a full tear off down to the boards and re-roof from full fresh plywood up. Of course it's a complicated hip style roof with numerous dormers, chimneys, etc and mostly above 20ft height. We're also going to need to add ventilation as the original structure had none since cedar is self venting.
I've had three companies come and look at it and every one had the same wincing reaction when they saw what I'm working with.
  • First company quickly ballparked a minimum of 30k and never got back to me with a formal quote.
  • The second was a smaller outfit with no online presence, recommended via word of mouth, and he looked at everything from the ground and gave me a number of 24k verbally.
  • Lastly I reached out to an area veteran of 20+ years with a 4.7* average and tons of positive reviews. Their estimator went up on the roof, inspected a bunch of stuff, took a headcam video, presented numerous issues, actually measured the roof size (~28 square), offered shingle color options etc and priced it out at 29k.
Now, ~$1000/sq seems pretty high to me, especially with basic research showing people paying $450-650 depending on region, but given the complexity of my roof and the extent of work being done, I'm really not sure if I've got a good price here. I believe most of those averages are simple rip and replace of asphalt shingles with plywood replaced as needed. Regardless of the route I go, I'm likely taking out a HELOC to pay for it as the house as appreciated ~30-47k since I've purchased it.
What are your thoughts on the situation, and how would you proceed?

By what means the papers out of which I have made a connected story came into my hands is the last point which the reader will learn from these pages. But it is necessary to prefix to my extracts from them a statement of the form in which I possess them. They consist, then, partly of a series of collections for a book of travels, such a volume as was a common product of the forties and fifties. Horace Marryat's Journal of a Residence in Jutland and the Danish Isles is a fair specimen of the class to which I allude. These books usually treated of some unfamiliar district on the Continent. They were illustrated with woodcuts or steel plates. They gave details of hotel accommodation, and of means of communication, such as we now expect to find in any well-regulated guide-book, and they dealt largely in reported conversations with intelligent foreigners, racy innkeepers and garrulous peasants. In a word, they were chatty. Begun with the idea of furnishing material for such a book, my papers as they progressed assumed the character of a record of one single personal experience, and this record was continued up to the very eve, almost, of its termination. The writer was a Mr. Wraxall. For my knowledge of him I have to depend entirely on the evidence his writings afford, and from these I deduce that he was a man past middle age, possessed of some private means, and very much alone in the world. He had, it seems, no settled abode in England, but was a denizen of hotels and boarding-houses. It is probable that he entertained the idea of settling down at some future time which never came; and I think it also likely that the Pantechnicon fire in the early seventies must have destroyed a great deal that would have thrown light on his antecedents, for he refers once or twice to property of his that was warehoused at that establishment. It is further apparent that Mr. Wraxall had published a book, and that it treated of a holiday he had once taken in Brittany. More than this I cannot say about his work, because a diligent search in bibliographical works has convinced me that it must have appeared either anonymously or under a pseudonym. As to his character, it is not difficult to form some superficial opinion. He must have been an intelligent and cultivated man. It seems that he was near being a Fellow of his college at Oxford—Brasenose, as I judge from the Calendar. His besetting fault was pretty clearly that of over-inquisitiveness, possibly a good fault in a traveller, certainly a fault for which this traveller paid dearly enough in the end. On what proved to be his last expedition, he was plotting another book. Scandinavia, a region not widely known to Englishmen forty years ago, had struck him as an interesting field. He must have lighted on some old books of Swedish history or memoirs, and the idea had struck him that there was room for a book descriptive of travel in Sweden, interspersed with episodes from the history of some of the great Swedish families. He procured letters of introduction, therefore, to some persons of quality in Sweden, and set out thither in the early summer of 1863. Of his travels in the North there is no need to speak, nor of his residence of some weeks in Stockholm. I need only mention that some savant resident there put him on the track of an important collection of family papers belonging to the proprietors of an ancient manor-house in Vestergothland, and obtained for him permission to examine them. The manor-house, or herrgård, in question is to be called Råbäck (pronounced something like Roebeck), though that is not its name. It is one of the best buildings of its kind in all the country, and the picture of it in Dablenberg's Suecia antiqua et moderna, engraved in 1694, shows it very much as the tourist may see it to-day. It was built soon after 1600, and is, roughly speaking, very much like an English house of that period in respect of material—red-brick with stone facings—and style. The man who built it was a scion of the great house of De la Gardie, and his descendants possess it still. De la Gardie is the name by which I will designate them when mention of them becomes necessary. They received Mr. Wraxall with great kindness and courtesy, and pressed him to stay in the house as long as his researches lasted. But, preferring to be independent, and mistrusting his powers of conversing in Swedish, he settled himself at the village inn, which turned out quite sufficiently comfortable, at any rate during the summer months. This arrangement would entail a short walk daily to and from the manor-house of something under a mile. The house itself stood in a park, and was protected—we should say grown up—with large old timber. Near it you found the walled garden, and then entered a close wood fringing one of the small lakes with which the whole country is pitted. Then came the wall of the demesne, and you climbed a steep knoll—a knob of rock lightly covered with soil—and on the top of this stood the church, fenced in with tall dark trees. It was a curious building to English eyes. The nave and aisles were low, and filled with pews and galleries. In the western gallery stood the handsome old organ, gaily painted, and with silver pipes. The ceiling was flat, and had been adorned by a seventeenth-century artist with a strange and hideous "Last Judgment," full of lurid flames, falling cities, burning ships, crying souls, and brown and smiling demons. Handsome brass coronæ hung from the roof; the pulpit was like a doll's-house, covered with little painted wooden cherubs and saints; a stand with three hour-glasses was hinged to the preacher's desk. Such sights as these may be seen in many a church in Sweden now, but what distinguished this one was an addition to the original building. At the eastern end of the north aisle the builder of the manor-house had erected a mausoleum for himself and his family. It was a largish eight-sided building, lighted by a series of oval windows, and it had a domed roof, topped by a kind of pumpkin-shaped object rising into a spire, a form in which Swedish architects greatly delighted. The roof was of copper externally, and was painted black, while the walls, in common with those of the church, were staringly white. To this mausoleum there was no access from the church. It had a portal and steps of its own on the northern side. Past the churchyard the path to the village goes, and not more than three or four minutes bring you to the inn door. On the first day of his stay at Råbäck Mr. Wraxall found the church door open, and made those notes of the interior which I have epitomized. Into the mausoleum, however, he could not make his way. He could by looking through the keyhole just descry that there were fine marble effigies and sarcophagi of copper, and a wealth of armorial ornament, which made him very anxious to spend some time in investigation. The papers he had come to examine at the manor-house proved to be of just the kind he wanted for his book. There were family correspondence, journals, and account-books of the earliest owners of the estate, very carefully kept and clearly written, full of amusing and picturesque detail. The first De la Gardie appeared in them as a strong and capable man. Shortly after the building of the mansion there had been a period of distress in the district, and the peasants had risen and attacked several châteaux and done some damage. The owner of Råbäck took a leading part in suppressing the trouble, and there was reference to executions of ringleaders and severe punishments inflicted with no sparing hand. The portrait of this Magnus de la Gardie was one of the best in the house, and Mr. Wraxall studied it with no little interest after his day's work. He gives no detailed description of it, but I gather that the face impressed him rather by its power than by its beauty or goodness; in fact, he writes that Count Magnus was an almost phenomenally ugly man. On this day Mr. Wraxall took his supper with the family, and walked back in the late but still bright evening. "I must remember," he writes, "to ask the sexton if he can let me into the mausoleum at the church. He evidently has access to it himself, for I saw him to-night standing on the steps, and, as I thought, locking or unlocking the door." I find that early on the following day Mr. Wraxall had some conversation with his landlord. His setting it down at such length as he does surprised me at first; but I soon realized that the papers I was reading were, at least in their beginning, the materials for the book he was meditating, and that it was to have been one of those quasi-journalistic productions which admit of the introduction of an admixture of conversational matter. His object, he says, was to find out whether any traditions of Count Magnus de la Gardie lingered on in the scenes of that gentleman's activity, and whether the popular estimate of him were favourable or not. He found that the Count was decidedly not a favourite. If his tenants came late to their work on the days which they owed to him as Lord of the Manor, they were set on the wooden horse, or flogged and branded in the manor-house yard. One or two cases there were of men who had occupied lands which encroached on the lord's domain, and whose houses had been mysteriously burnt on a winter's night, with the whole family inside. But what seemed to dwell on the innkeeper's mind most—for he returned to the subject more than once—was that the Count had been on the Black Pilgrimage, and had brought something or someone back with him.
You will naturally inquire, as Mr. Wraxall did, what the Black Pilgrimage may have been. But your curiosity on the point must remain unsatisfied for the time being, just as his did. The landlord was evidently unwilling to give a full answer, or indeed any answer, on the point, and, being called out for a moment, trotted off with obvious alacrity, only putting his head in at the door a few minutes afterwards to say that he was called away to Skara, and should not be back till evening. So Mr. Wraxall had to go unsatisfied to his day's work at the manor-house. The papers on which he was just then engaged soon put his thoughts into another channel, for he had to occupy himself with glancing over the correspondence between Sophia Albertina in Stockholm and her married cousin Ulrica Leonora at Råbäck in the years 1705-1710. The letters were of exceptional interest from the light they threw upon the culture of that period in Sweden, as anyone can testify who has read the full edition of them in the publications of the Swedish Historical Manuscripts Commission. In the afternoon he had done with these, and after returning the boxes in which they were kept to their places on the shelf, he proceeded, very naturally, to take down some of the volumes nearest to them, in order to determine which of them had best be his principal subject of investigation next day. The shelf he had hit upon was occupied mostly by a collection of account-books in the writing of the first Count Magnus. But one among them was not an account-book, but a book of alchemical and other tracts in another sixteenth-century hand. Not being very familiar with alchemical literature, Mr. Wraxall spends much space which he might have spared in setting out the names and beginnings of the various treatises: The book of the Phœnix, book of the Thirty Words, book of the Toad, book of Miriam, Turba philosophorum, and so forth; and then he announces with a good deal of circumstance his delight at finding, on a leaf originally left blank near the middle of the book, some writing of Count Magnus himself headed "Liber nigræ peregrinationis." It is true that only a few lines were written, but there was quite enough to show that the landlord had that morning been referring to a belief at least as old as the time of Count Magnus, and probably shared by him. This is the English of what was written: "If any man desires to obtain a long life, if he would obtain a faithful messenger and see the blood of his enemies, it is necessary that he should first go into the city of Chorazin, and there salute the prince...." Here there was an erasure of one word, not very thoroughly done, so that Mr. Wraxall felt pretty sure that he was right in reading it as aëris ("of the air"). But there was no more of the text copied, only a line in Latin: "Quære reliqua hujus materiei inter secretiora" (See the rest of this matter among the more private things). It could not be denied that this threw a rather lurid light upon the tastes and beliefs of the Count; but to Mr. Wraxall, separated from him by nearly three centuries, the thought that he might have added to his general forcefulness alchemy, and to alchemy something like magic, only made him a more picturesque figure; and when, after a rather prolonged contemplation of his picture in the hall, Mr. Wraxall set out on his homeward way, his mind was full of the thought of Count Magnus. He had no eyes for his surroundings, no perception of the evening scents of the woods or the evening light on the lake; and when all of a sudden he pulled up short, he was astonished to find himself already at the gate of the churchyard, and within a few minutes of his dinner. His eyes fell on the mausoleum. "Ah," he said, "Count Magnus, there you are. I should dearly like to see you." "Like many solitary men," he writes, "I have a habit of talking to myself aloud; and, unlike some of the Greek and Latin particles, I do not expect an answer. Certainly, and perhaps fortunately in this case, there was neither voice nor any that regarded: only the woman who, I suppose, was cleaning up the church, dropped some metallic object on the floor, whose clang startled me. Count Magnus, I think, sleeps sound enough." That same evening the landlord of the inn, who had heard Mr. Wraxall say that he wished to see the clerk or deacon (as he would be called in Sweden) of the parish, introduced him to that official in the inn parlour. A visit to the De la Gardie tomb-house was soon arranged for the next day, and a little general conversation ensued. Mr. Wraxall, remembering that one function of Scandinavian deacons is to teach candidates for Confirmation, thought he would refresh his own memory on a Biblical point. "Can you tell me," he said, "anything about Chorazin?" The deacon seemed startled, but readily reminded him how that village had once been denounced. "To be sure," said Mr. Wraxall; "it is, I suppose, quite a ruin now?" "So I expect," replied the deacon. "I have heard some of our old priests say that Antichrist is to be born there; and there are tales——" "Ah! what tales are those?" Mr. Wraxall put in. "Tales, I was going to say, which I have forgotten," said the deacon; and soon after that he said good night. The landlord was now alone, and at Mr. Wraxall's mercy; and that inquirer was not inclined to spare him. "Herr Nielsen," he said, "I have found out something about the Black Pilgrimage. You may as well tell me what you know. What did the Count bring back with him?" Swedes are habitually slow, perhaps, in answering, or perhaps the landlord was an exception. I am not sure; but Mr. Wraxall notes that the landlord spent at least one minute in looking at him before he said anything at all. Then he came close up to his guest, and with a good deal of effort he spoke: "Mr. Wraxall, I can tell you this one little tale, and no more—not any more. You must not ask anything when I have done. In my grandfather's time—that is, ninety-two years ago—there were two men who said: 'The Count is dead; we do not care for him. We will go to-night and have a free hunt in his wood'—the long wood on the hill that you have seen behind Råbäck. Well, those that heard them say this, they said: 'No, do not go; we are sure you will meet with persons walking who should not be walking. They should be resting, not walking.' These men laughed. There were no forest-men to keep the wood, because no one wished to hunt there. The family were not here at the house. These men could do what they wished. "Very well, they go to the wood that night. My grandfather was sitting here in this room. It was the summer, and a light night. With the window open, he could see out to the wood, and hear. "So he sat there, and two or three men with him, and they listened. At first they hear nothing at all; then they hear someone—you know how far away it is—they hear someone scream, just as if the most inside part of his soul was twisted out of him. All of them in the room caught hold of each other, and they sat so for three-quarters of an hour. Then they hear someone else, only about three hundred ells off. They hear him laugh out loud: it was not one of those two men that laughed, and, indeed, they have all of them said that it was not any man at all. After that they hear a great door shut. "Then, when it was just light with the sun, they all went to the priest. They said to him: "'Father, put on your gown and your ruff, and come to bury these men, Anders Bjornsen and Hans Thorbjorn.' "You understand that they were sure these men were dead. So they went to the wood—my grandfather never forgot this. He said they were all like so many dead men themselves. The priest, too, he was in a white fear. He said when they came to him: "'I heard one cry in the night, and I heard one laugh afterwards. If I cannot forget that, I shall not be able to sleep again.' "So they went to the wood, and they found these men on the edge of the wood. Hans Thorbjorn was standing with his back against a tree, and all the time he was pushing with his hands—pushing something away from him which was not there. So he was not dead. And they led him away, and took him to the house at Nykjoping, and he died before the winter; but he went on pushing with his hands. Also Anders Bjornsen was there; but he was dead. And I tell you this about Anders Bjornsen, that he was once a beautiful man, but now his face was not there, because the flesh of it was sucked away off the bones. You understand that? My grandfather did not forget that. And they laid him on the bier which they brought, and they put a cloth over his head, and the priest walked before; and they began to sing the psalm for the dead as well as they could. So, as they were singing the end of the first verse, one fell down, who was carrying the head of the bier, and the others looked back, and they saw that the cloth had fallen off, and the eyes of Anders Bjornsen were looking up, because there was nothing to close over them. And this they could not bear. Therefore the priest laid the cloth upon him, and sent for a spade, and they buried him in that place." The next day Mr. Wraxall records that the deacon called for him soon after his breakfast, and took him to the church and mausoleum. He noticed that the key of the latter was hung on a nail just by the pulpit, and it occurred to him that, as the church door seemed to be left unlocked as a rule, it would not be difficult for him to pay a second and more private visit to the monuments if there proved to be more of interest among them than could be digested at first. The building, when he entered it, he found not unimposing. The monuments, mostly large erections of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, were dignified if luxuriant, and the epitaphs and heraldry were copious. The central space of the domed room was occupied by three copper sarcophagi, covered with finely-engraved ornament. Two of them had, as is commonly the case in Denmark and Sweden, a large metal crucifix on the lid. The third, that of Count Magnus, as it appeared, had, instead of that, a full-length effigy engraved upon it, and round the edge were several bands of similar ornament representing various scenes. One was a battle, with cannon belching out smoke, and walled towns, and troops of pikemen. Another showed an execution. In a third, among trees, was a man running at full speed, with flying hair and outstretched hands. After him followed a strange form; it would be hard to say whether the artist had intended it for a man, and was unable to give the requisite similitude, or whether it was intentionally made as monstrous as it looked. In view of the skill with which the rest of the drawing was done, Mr. Wraxall felt inclined to adopt the latter idea. The figure was unduly short, and was for the most part muffled in a hooded garment which swept the ground. The only part of the form which projected from that shelter was not shaped like any hand or arm. Mr. Wraxall compares it to the tentacle of a devil-fish, and continues: "On seeing this, I said to myself, 'This, then, which is evidently an allegorical representation of some kind—a fiend pursuing a hunted soul—may be the origin of the story of Count Magnus and his mysterious companion. Let us see how the huntsman is pictured: doubtless it will be a demon blowing his horn.'" But, as it turned out, there was no such sensational figure, only the semblance of a cloaked man on a hillock, who stood leaning on a stick, and watching the hunt with an interest which the engraver had tried to express in his attitude. Mr. Wraxall noted the finely-worked and massive steel padlocks—three in number—which secured the sarcophagus. One of them, he saw, was detached, and lay on the pavement. And then, unwilling to delay the deacon longer or to waste his own working-time, he made his way onward to the manor-house. It is curious," he notes, "how on retracing a familiar path one's thoughts engross one to the absolute exclusion of surrounding objects. To-night, for the second time, I had entirely failed to notice where I was going (I had planned a private visit to the tomb-house to copy the epitaphs), when I suddenly, as it were, awoke to consciousness, and found myself (as before) turning in at the churchyard gate, and, I believe, singing or chanting some such words as, 'Are you awake, Count Magnus? Are you asleep, Count Magnus?' and then something more which I have failed to recollect. It seemed to me that I must have been behaving in this nonsensical way for some time." He found the key of the mausoleum where he had expected to find it, and copied the greater part of what he wanted; in fact, he stayed until the light began to fail him. "I must have been wrong," he writes, "in saying that one of the padlocks of my Count's sarcophagus was unfastened; I see to-night that two are loose. I picked both up, and laid them carefully on the window-ledge, after trying unsuccessfully to close them. The remaining one is still firm, and, though I take it to be a spring lock, I cannot guess how it is opened. Had I succeeded in undoing it, I am almost afraid I should have taken the liberty of opening the sarcophagus. It is strange, the interest I feel in the personality of this, I fear, somewhat ferocious and grim old noble." The day following was, as it turned out, the last of Mr. Wraxall's stay at Råbäck. He received letters connected with certain investments which made it desirable that he should return to England; his work among the papers was practically done, and travelling was slow. He decided, therefore, to make his farewells, put some finishing touches to his notes, and be off. These finishing touches and farewells, as it turned out, took more time than he had expected. The hospitable family insisted on his staying to dine with them—they dined at three—and it was verging on half-past six before he was outside the iron gates of Råbäck. He dwelt on every step of his walk by the lake, determined to saturate himself, now that he trod it for the last time, in the sentiment of the place and hour. And when he reached the summit of the churchyard knoll, he lingered for many minutes, gazing at the limitless prospect of woods near and distant, all dark beneath a sky of liquid green. When at last he turned to go, the thought struck him that surely he must bid farewell to Count Magnus as well as the rest of the De la Gardies. The church was but twenty yards away, and he knew where the key of the mausoleum hung. It was not long before he was standing over the great copper coffin, and, as usual, talking to himself aloud. "You may have been a bit of a rascal in your time, Magnus," he was saying, "but for all that I should like to see you, or, rather——" "Just at that instant," he says, "I felt a blow on my foot. Hastily enough I drew it back, and something fell on the pavement with a clash. It was the third, the last of the three padlocks which had fastened the sarcophagus. I stooped to pick it up, and—Heaven is my witness that I am writing only the bare truth—before I had raised myself there was a sound of metal hinges creaking, and I distinctly saw the lid shifting upwards. I may have behaved like a coward, but I could not for my life stay for one moment. I was outside that dreadful building in less time than I can write—almost as quickly as I could have said—the words; and what frightens me yet more, I could not turn the key in the lock. As I sit here in my room noting these facts, I ask myself (it was not twenty minutes ago) whether that noise of creaking metal continued, and I cannot tell whether it did or not. I only know that there was something more than I have written that alarmed me, but whether it was sound or sight I am not able to remember. What is this that I have done?" Poor Mr. Wraxall! He set out on his journey to England on the next day, as he had planned, and he reached England in safety; and yet, as I gather from his changed hand and inconsequent jottings, a broken man. One of several small notebooks that have come to me with his papers gives, not a key to, but a kind of inkling of, his experiences. Much of his journey was made by canal-boat, and I find not less than six painful attempts to enumerate and describe his fellow-passengers. The entries are of this kind: "24. Pastor of village in Skåne. Usual black coat and soft black hat. "25. Commercial traveller from Stockholm going to Trollhättan. Black cloak, brown hat. "26. Man in long black cloak, broad-leafed hat, very old-fashioned." This entry is lined out, and a note added: "Perhaps identical with No. 13. Have not yet seen his face." On referring to No. 13, I find that he is a Roman priest in a cassock. The net result of the reckoning is always the same. Twenty-eight people appear in the enumeration, one being always a man in a long black cloak and broad hat, and the other a "short figure in dark cloak and hood." On the other hand, it is always noted that only twenty-six passengers appear at meals, and that the man in the cloak is perhaps absent, and the short figure is certainly absent. On reaching England, it appears that Mr. Wraxall landed at Harwich, and that he resolved at once to put himself out of the reach of some person or persons whom he never specifies, but whom he had evidently come to regard as his pursuers. Accordingly he took a vehicle—it was a closed fly—not trusting the railway, and drove across country to the village of Belchamp St. Paul. It was about nine o'clock on a moonlight August night when he neared the place. He was sitting forward, and looking out of the window at the fields and thickets—there was little else to be seen—racing past him. Suddenly he came to a cross-road. At the corner two figures were standing motionless; both were in dark cloaks; the taller one wore a hat, the shorter a hood. He had no time to see their faces, nor did they make any motion that he could discern. Yet the horse shied violently and broke into a gallop, and Mr. Wraxall sank back into his seat in something like desperation. He had seen them before. Arrived at Belchamp St. Paul, he was fortunate enough to find a decent furnished lodging, and for the next twenty-four hours he lived, comparatively speaking, in peace. His last notes were written on this day. They are too disjointed and ejaculatory to be given here in full, but the substance of them is clear enough. He is expecting a visit from his pursuers—how or when he knows not—and his constant cry is "What has he done?" and "Is there no hope?" Doctors, he knows, would call him mad, policemen would laugh at him. The parson is away. What can he do but lock his door and cry to God? People still remembered last year at Belchamp St. Paul how a strange gentleman came one evening in August years back; and how the next morning but one he was found dead, and there was an inquest; and the jury that viewed the body fainted, seven of 'em did, and none of 'em wouldn't speak to what they see, and the verdict was visitation of God; and how the people as kep' the 'ouse moved out that same week, and went away from that part. But they do not, I think, know that any glimmer of light has ever been thrown, or could be thrown, on the mystery. It so happened that last year the little house came into my hands as part of a legacy. It had stood empty since 1863, and there seemed no prospect of letting it; so I had it pulled down, and the papers of which I have given you an abstract were found in a forgotten cupboard under the window in the best bedroom.

2024.05.13 02:56 NatalieMaybeIDK Stuck on Mars

Woops your two way Mars trip ended up getting you stranded in a habitation pod. They paid you $250,000 USD to stay here a month, but it turns out due to some atmospheric conditions and the company going under that you are stuck here for good. Without pay. Turns out getting a human out of here will kill them for some reason. They give you some science mumbo jumbo.
Fear not. Even though rescue is impossible a group from Earth has funded to send you some equipment and supplies. You'll be sent monthly rations and toiletries via a shuttle that auto-docks with your habitation pod. This also transfers you water.
Your habitat contains a 15x15ft bedroom, a 10x10 "kitchen" microwave/cupboards/dishwashesink, and a 5x5 bathroom with shower. Small extra area for 2x sets of extra clothes and washedryer.
The first ship they send has a lot higher of a budget. They've sent a list of what they could send you. First to prevent madness they'll send you 3 more pods. You can choose each option as many times as you want for double space/ any duplicate equipment in the pod, or just a separate identical dome.
Choose Three
  1. Biodome: This 50x50ft dome has a clear yet perfectly safe dome letting you see out. There is a genetically engineered apple tree that blooms and produces apples year round at an accelerated rate. Each branch oddly produces at staggered rates. You'll end up with a single branch's apples reaching maturity each week 4-8 seedless apples. About 1 in 10000 apples have a single seed. If you look closely maybe you can plant another. There are also few bushes and some grass. There is artificial UV lighting in here. You could plant other seeds.
  2. Entertainment dome: 15x15ft. This comes with a comfy sofa, TV with 5terabyte of current Earth media. They'll let you pick and send similar things or as you request. You are provided a desk with a gaming PC. This connects to the TV and two monitors on the desk. This comes with any standard gaming peripherals and a comfy chair. You can download things from the internet, but even browsing is incredibly slow. We are talking 1minute latency on good days. Works for downloading, but not multiplayer games or real time conversations. We'll open a portal for you yo legally download anything. Well anything not disgusting you perv.
  3. Bedroom: This pod is identical to yours. Small kitchen and bathroom included. One other participant has agreed to accompany you. You'll fill out a series of psychological tests, and we'll send you someone that isn't likely to drive you more insane. As we are focused on survival, you'll get no choice in the matter.
  4. Kitchen pod: A much larger kitchen space. 20x20 space with all standard appliances. We'll send you the standard food rations and allow you to pick $200 in ingredients every months. This $200 must be kitchen/food related.
  5. Library: A 20x20ft room. This holds two eReaders connected to a database of all known written works. It also includes three high quality bean bag chairs, a cozy reading chair, and a couch. If you'd like they'll send you 1-4 large shelves with any books you'd like that can fit on it. With the eReaders this would mostly be aesthetics. Maybe you like books?
  6. Pool Room: 25x25 ft room with a 15x15 ft pool and a 5x5 ft hot tub. Plenty of extra towels and some pool toys.
  7. Rec room: 20x20 ft room. Contains a pool table, darts, a poker table, two sets of playing cards, and mini-fridge stocked with 48 cans of soft drink a month.
  8. Hobby room: 20x20 ft empty room. Onetime you'll get $1200 to furnish this room as desired or buy tools. You'll then be given $100 a month to spend on hobby equipment.
  9. Expansion: all rooms gain 25% more space.
  10. $250 a month
Don't worry. They'll replace anything damaged. To an extent. Don't start destroying stuff. Your shelter was designed to survive hundreds of years without repair.
Each month you'll be given a $250 budget to spend on anything you want adjusted for inflation. Any companion gets their own budget.
You'll get occasional bonuses if you survive.
5 years: +1 dome 10 years: +1 dome +$50 15 years: you'll be sent a serum to de-age you at the rate of 1 year per year until you hit 20. At which point you'll age normally again. It also heals you of all disorders. Any companions get this. These only seem to work for everyone 5 times ever. Probably should save it until you're old. 20 years: +$50 a month. 25 years: +1 dome 30 Years: +$100 a month 40 years: +1 dome 50 years: a new space colony will begin construction right next door. You'll be hooked up to another pod of 6 various workers. They have their own bedrooms, biodome, 2x rec room. You are able to close off contact with them if you'd like or interact freely. They have their only monthly budgets and work 5 hours 5 days a week. Mostly repairing drones and monitoring progress of construction.
60 years: The first permant Martian city. This city will quickly hold 250 colonists and they have the capability to expand overtime. You and companions will be considered celebrities. While the city has a large open public space, you and your companions will have the largest private area. Most living in small apartments.

2024.05.12 22:33 madefromlucky Boomers and Expired Food

What is up with boomers 1) keeping expired food and 2) being completely ok with consuming it or serving it others? Both my parents and my wife’s parents are terrible for this. My parents are also semi incredulous when I refuse to eat/use something that is expired.
I’m not just talking about a couple days past a date here. I’m talking months or even years.
Today we were having lunch at my in-laws and they gave me a Diet Coke from their basement fridge. I took a mouthful and could tell immediately something was not right. Completely flat, and hardly any taste. I look at the date on the thing and it’s get this… 2021.
Now I know this is not going to kill me and it’s more just inconvenient than anything but it just got me thinking about how I constantly have to check dates at both my parents and in-laws and I constantly find things that are way past date.
I guess this may have something to do with the fact that (at least in Canada) almost all boomers have huge fridges, or multiple huge fridges. So they are able to accumulate vast quantities of perishables. Ditto dry goods. Since boomers were able to buy large suburban houses for a song back their day they have fridges and cupboards galore.
My tiny condo fridge resembles something out of a typical college dorm, so I don’t have the luxury of keeping anything past the date, let alone for the fact that consuming it might make me ill.
Anyways I have tons of stories about this. Rock hard bottles of spices. Years old bottles of hot sauce and other condiments. Raw Costco chicken wings in the fridge a week past the date they should have been cooked by.
Surely I am not the only one who has noticed this?

2024.05.12 20:29 Traditional-Night-48 My family home in uk is old and many accounts of supernatural experiences.

My family home is called the jolly anglers, we moved in when I was 1 year old in 1978 And parts of it goes back to medieval times as a wayside hovel, still has the original inglenook fireplaces. Was a public house/guest house for many years before we moved in, I will add a picture of it my mother has from Victorian times when I go round tomorrow, The earliest record of it that I've managed to find is in the 1841 census when William Rivett is the innkeeper. It was acquired by Steward & Patteson from Ferrier & Co. in 1884 and was still an S&P brewery pub when it served its final pint in 1952.
At some point between 1901 and 1911 the Angel changed its name to the Jolly Anglers possibly coinciding with a change in landlord. We think the poet Jessie Pope who moved to Fritton village after her marriage in 1929. Maybe referenced it in her collection of verses entitled Three Jolly Anglers, published in 1913. In the 1900’s they also added on a tearoom.
Over the years my mum could of and should of written a book about the paranormal happenings at the house that many of us experienced and have had three different paranormal investigating teams visit the house. I will take and upload pictures of historical features when I’m over there tomorrow. Dad built a indoor pool in 1988 and found many seashells deep down when it used to be linked by sea. And had a small jetty and boats used to moor up to visit it. (It’s now in the middle of the countryside) and over the years water has receded over a mile away in distance but many years ago the sea linked into The lake nearby and in pre-medieval times was largely dug then to extract peat for burning. The village where the house resides seems to have been known to our Roman heritage for ‘in a small hillock’ lying about half a mile north of the lake near to our house.
People always want to hear the paranormal side of my parents house which was part medieval wayside hovel then inn and a pub after that in Norfolk uk. so I’ve written some of the strange things that have Happened in my parents house ‘the jolly anglers’
Where do I start.. we moved into the house in 1978 and in the first six months mum was in tears and Wanted to leave again as she was scared to death of all the strange happenings, Dad was working away offshore at the time and they’d used all their money to buy the old house so knew they couldn’t just up and leave, dad wasn’t one for giving in but he also wasn’t the one living it daily. Half the time it was just mum, me as a 9month old and my older siblings 15 and 17. now they say teenage energy can cause spirits to be active in houses and it attracts them so Maybe that could’ve been why they all saw a lot when I was a baby in the house.
One night mum was in bed and I was in the cot in the same room when she woke up and heard rustling coming from the staircase which is open and goes straight into their bedroom , she then in the dim light saw a black shadow floating up the stairs and move very slowly to my cot, she was in shock and couldn’t move for a while and watched it float across the room and as the figure leaned in to my cot, mum was petrified and put the side light on in panic and the shadow just disappeared, she said the noise sounded like crinoline dresses how the material rustled as someone walked along, maybe in the Victorian era.
Another time My parents also whilst in bed heard an old honky-tonk type piano play downstairs, cigar smoke and voices several times in the first six months of living there- note they had no piano nor smoked. Dad always went down to investigate with his double barrel shot gun but everything went silent whenever he opened the door at the bottom of the stairs.
They lived with daily bangs, strange voices,knocking and footsteps all through their lives and also others myself and my siblings have heard these also on a regular basis, my brother and a friend of his whilst in the lounge one evening saw the start of what looked like a red woman’s dress coming down one set of stairs in the old area which was originally the pub.
The pub area is my parents best lounge and was once two rooms but dad knocked Them both into one big one, when it was a pub one was a smoking room and the other was the bar room which still has a bar in it but not the original one. My father purchased it from a old retired landlord of a demolished pub in Great Yarmouth. this room has a staircase each end one staircase goes into my parents bedroom, the other staircase the opposite end goes up into a small hall and off that are two bedrooms, one was my brothers And the other was my sisters, But I slept in there with her frequently. My parents built a small bedroom downstairs which was a section of the larger bathroom which decades before was called the parlour room not the bathroom, we do know from history records that one of the landlords children many years ago died in the house of tuberculosis a young girl about eight years old. My auntie used to sleep in my old small bedroom when she visited us and one evening Was petrified when she saw what looked like flickering candles moving under the doorframe, on another occasion she heard breathing which sounded raspy and a female crying. She ended up sleeping in my brothers room and refused to stay In my little bedroom after the two events.
Tins In kitchen have flown out of cupboards and dented the radiator, pictures have flown off walls and ornaments also have somehow landed other ends of rooms not just dropped downwards, small dancing white lights Have been witnessed by several people in Different areas of the house also seen by Paranormal research team. All teams have picked up Things and seen things and even been poked by a entity. Psychic mediums have come to the house and said there are many spirits including a woman who had several children and drowned herself, one Young man With a club foot who lived at the pub, and In those days would of been called a imbecile who owned a black dog Which haunts the house too, my mum later investigated documents to this claim and she saw on the 1899 census that in fact a man classed as a ‘imbecile’ was residing at the residence.
Now before the psychic talked about the woman, when I was a little girl about three, my parents tell me I had an invisible friend, apparently she was a lady in a red dress so I said, she used to push me on the swing outside and I used to talk to her and she’d play with me and my toys a lot, I said she was a nice lady that liked children. Years later a neighbour from the village was at one of our parties and was talking about the history of her family, they had lived in our village for many many years and she had been doing some family research and had recently found out that her great great grandmother had been pulled out of the lake which is near our house. she Apparently had drowned herself because twins were prevalent in her family, she had had two sets and was pregnant again, her husband had recently died And she couldn’t take it anymore, she was very poor and when they took the body from the river they didn’t have funeral homes in those days in villages, so they always laid the bodies out in a cold place.. which was normally the local pub cellar, where in fact she was laid out to be buried in our pub cellar and they held the post-mortem there too which she had documents of. which funny enough was my playroom as a child And freezer storage area. Now no one knows if she died wearing a red dress but it was sense that she loved children by the psychic so everyone thinks that that is the lady in a red dress that was my invisible friend as a child. There was an incident once where a family friends child was over with his mum and as 3 year olds do they open doors and investigate, unfortunately he opened the cellar door and fell to the bottom, now they are big concrete steps to the bottom of the cellar, My father saw him enter the seller But didn’t see him fall but when He rushed to him he was standing at the bottom of the steps not even crying, they all checked him over and said ‘are you okay? and he said ‘the lady got me’ and Pointed to an area in the cellar, Apparently gave everyone there goosebumps. Another occasion at a party there was a nonbeliever there who was joking about ghosts and what people had seen and said to a group of people ‘it’s a load of old nonsense’ the moment he said that the old heavy wooden front door creaked open and no one was there behind it, apparently he went very pale and flustered, many people witnessed that.
Also people have seen figures in the corner of their eye or movement for years and we all got used to the footsteps, taps and bumps as it is an old house and has had a lot of people walk through it, it ended up just a thing you got used to and mum didn’t leave after six months dad convinced her to stick it out and things did calm down but never completely stopped. When my grandmother died my father saw her sitting on the end of the bed looking at her daughter, When I was very ill as a child in bed I saw a man in a black suit which I thought was the doctor and I started talking to him asking where my mum was and he disappeared. One if my nieces has seen a lady sitting in a old velvet chair in one of the bedrooms, My other grandmother when she stayed over once heard what sounded like rings being dropped into the sink, as all bedrooms have a sink in, as it used to be a guest house. As a teenager I moved from my sisters old room into my brothers old room at the back of the house and one night I woke to see a very tall man in a black cape, we have no street lights in the village and I never shut my curtains as we are not overlooked, so the moonlight was coming through my window and he must’ve been 6 foot five tall as his head nearly reached the ceiling, and I could see in the light he had fair hair which was slicked back and parted at the side, but he didn’t move it was like a picture in a picture book I couldn’t help but be quite mesmerised for a few second on how clear it was, but I lost that feeling and suddenly jumped up and ran out of that room, Didn’t even bother putting a light on I woke my parents up and I burst into tears, that really shook me up. After that event i even changed the layout of my room so I wouldn’t wake up in that position again. Another time I woke and I heard loud footsteps going round the bed but strangely the footsteps were like heavy boots and they were at my Ear level not on the ground, to this day I still find that very strange and they sounded amplified too. Another time a man with scraggly long hair poked his head out from one of the sloped ceilings in my room also. Each time I’d shoot out of the room and sleep in the other bedroom for a few days Before I felt safe to go back in and sleep.
Me My Husband And our 2 year old daughter left at four in the morning once after a family wedding because my daughter was crying, my husband picked her up out of the cotbed and she pointed to a Corner near the stairs and said ‘man there’ she has autism and her speech was delayed at that age but she was psychically scared of something that night She did not settle there which was very unusual for her, it scared my husband so he said ‘we are going home now! When we got to our own home she slept peacefully, I believe a spirit was Being a nuisance to her.
One of mums best friends was spiritual and told me that I had a gift and that I saw spirits, It’s something I never wanted and it scared me every time, even in my own house grown with a daughter and husband of my own I still see ‘people’ as I call them in my own home at night and every time I see them I always think it’s an intruder before ever thinking its a spirit lol And I always ‘fight not flight, I run at them to attack and always end up running into my bedroom door lol.
My dad has been dead 15 years and when he died, he died at home in bed and the house was very active again for a while but my father built a lot of the new part of the house with his own hands so we all knew he would have a lot of energy there when he passed.
Mum Now on her own at the house and she Will be 80 in 2022 she now has Limited mobility but she is very stubborn and has no intention of leaving, it’s far too big for her to cope with but she has a Gardner and cleaner and I help her a lot with shopping, she says when she leaves this house it will be in a coffin.
My daughter is 11 and she stays with her nan ny every Friday night, it’s her routine and my mum loves having her, she stays a few days a week when it’s summer holidays and school holidays and she loves the house, but I feel she is spiritual too so can sense things but it doesn’t bother her to sleep on her own in my sisters old room next door to my mums. until about a year ago she told my mother that she had seen her grandad in mothers room where she slept on occasions and he asked her questions like ‘what does she like to do. After that she now sleeps down stairs, which is now where mother sleeps also now due to mobility.
Well That’s some of the stories anyway, there’s many more but these are the ones I can remember off the top of my head.
Other experiences…
A friend saw a bearded gentleman’s faced reflection as she passed by a mirror.
Mum saw a grotesque male face in gray similar to what Satan May look like for a split second in her Own reflection once in a mirror in the bedroom hallway.
I heard My music box draw click opened and the music started playing when I was trying to go to sleep one night as a child, I removed it from my room after that. My mother also had heard that too on occasions
I had china dolls in my room when I was a young teen and once one of their arms flopped down, got my dad to remove them and now are still in their hall way on a shelf.
One night mum felt really hot while trying to sleep she felt the heating was on too high so went to turn The heating down, the thermostat was in the lounge downstairs, as She went to to the thermostat she suddenly saw the door to lounge opening, all where asleep upstairs. She said she ran so fast up the stairs that she ran out of the top of the nightdress and ripped it, she Was shouting when she ran upstairs to my sister to grab me out of the cot and get in my brothers bedroom they then barricaded the door with his wardrobe and Didn’t sleep at all that night till morning when they all investigated together, apparently My brother complained and said ‘it’s roasting hot up here mum’ she replied ‘you will have to bloody sweat as I’m not going down till morning!
going up to bed one night she’s turning all the lights off in the lounge, she had a gold Latch she used to flip down to secure the door in lounge to the rest of the house, one night after she had done that as she walked to the stairs she suddenly heard the latch flick up and the door slowly open, another scarper up the stairs and lock the door behind her and put covers over her face.
all the bedrooms have either key locks or bolts on the inside of every Bedroom door due to travellers Visiting the pub years ago could rent a room for the night if they wanted as guests, Mum very much appreciated the locks and bolts as she did think it was mostly intruders to start with. It’s funny when you look back on it all and you think to yourself.. spirits can get through locked doors and bolted doors! but at the time it makes you feel really safe and secure that They will stay behind a locked door and funny enough most of the time They did.
Many times dad was armed with his shotgun quietly sneaky round the house after hearing bangs bumps and knocks..it’s a big house with many steps, levels, twists and turns so could take him a while to do a sweep search of the house, mum said she was always so relieved when he came back up to bed and said ‘no ones broke in’ but then both equally Perplexed on what the noise was that they heard in the first place.
Paranormal investigators along with mum and her teenage grandson witnessed all the glasses in bar which are stored upside downs start to all clink together several times.
Years later they went from a latch lock In lounge area to a battery operated alarm door lock so if it’s switched on And door opens, a alarm sounds. Which she set religiously. In middle of the night she heard the smoke alarm going off, when she went down half asleep and groggy to investigate she couldn’t smell any smoke so she got a stool and checked the smoke alarm and in her groggy sleep state she suddenly realised the noise was coming from the door which had been opened, she hastily shut door and used the old bolt and ran upstairs.
Mum was tidying behind the bar one morning after a family party we had the night before when she felt something or someone grab her shoulder, there was no one there.
There is a small American Indian doll high up on the bar (is still there) and one day my parents noticed I was playing with it as a toddler, they say there was no way possible that I would of been able to get that myself they said ‘how did you get that down from there? I apparently said ‘the lady gave me it!
So many to recall but these are some throughout the 46 years of my life.
Added..
Many lights started to flicker for over a month after his death touch lamps especially, also the solor lights outside the back door used to go in and off and we sat and watched them several times and spoke to dad sure that he was trying to Communicate with us. Many lights started to flicker for over a month after his death also the solor lights outside the back door used to go in and off we sat and watched them several times and spoke to dad .

2024.05.12 20:26 Accurate-Syrup-3944 Diet HELP

Hi everyone, would appreciate any help here please...
I have been diagnosed with PCOS, my bloodwork shows elevated levels of DHEA sulphate and testosterone as well as a transvaginal ultrasound showed cysts on my ovaries. I also have hirsutism and my periods are not only irregular in when or how often I get them but flow/pain too.
I am taking Ozempic, 1.5mg/week and have been for roughly a year now so my weight is between 130-140lbs (the heaviest I had been was 250lbs).
I know that I NEED to adjust my diet drastically to support PCOS to combat things like brain fog and irregular periods however I am severely struggling in this department. With Ozempic, "food noise" and my appetite is considerably less which I am so grateful for. My cravings for many things are so low if not mostly gone, particularly for sweet treats (for example I've had easter chocolate just sitting in the cupboard going uneaten because I hardly ever want it!). But with the appetite I do have and even with lessened cravings, my diet is atrocious.
I cannot for the life of me give up fast food like fried chicken burgers, poutine, or pizza. I don't eat as much of it as I used to thanks to the Ozempic but that is mostly what I do eat. I am at a point where I will basically only eat these sorts of items and would honestly rather go hungry than eat anything else.
I desperately need advice on how to combat this...if I could stomach 'better' foods then I know I could make a lot of headway with managing PCOS as I know diet is the largest factor to dealing with PCOS. I'm sure a large part of this is psychological but I don't know how to convince my brain, mouth, stomach, to just eat a piece of baked chicken for dinner instead of a burger! Everything I read is about how eventually a PCOS targeted diet helps balance symptoms and people feel so much better but I can't even get my cravings enough under control to last 2 days with a good diet.
I would be really appreciative of any advice, thank you for reading and your time! <3

2024.05.12 17:51 HashMapsData2Value Algorand's REAL secret sauce

Algorand's REAL secret sauce
What is the fundamental thing that sets Algorand apart?
In Computer Science, specifically as it concerns distributed databases, there's a concept called the CAP theorem: C = Consistency, A = Availability, P = Partition tolerance.
The CAP theorem is a trilemma and states that when P fails, you have to two choose either Consistency or Availability.Consider Amazon. They have websites all over the world. Imagine that Amazon.fr offers customers in France widget X from an Amazon warehouse in Germany.
One day there's a massive IT failure. French customers can reach Amazon.fr, but the website can no longer reach the German warehouse. Amazon.fr now has a decision to make. Does it choose to be Consistent, i.e., tell the customers "sorry, things are not available right now". Or, does it choose to be Available, say "it's available" but then return the customer their funds if it turns out the German warehouse sold out the widgets to other customers in the meanwhile.
The latter allows Amazon.fr to collect money and simply give it back later should the widget be sold out. Good for Amazon but bad for customer experience. The former promises nothing and delivers 100% of the time, but is perhaps worse for Amazon.
Blockchains as distributed databases
If you view blockchains as distributed databases, the vast majority of them choose Availability. Algorand is the only one I am aware of which choses Consistency.
Algorand's first introduces a concept of being "online". Node runners, in possession of Algo, register themselves and their stake as online and participating in consensus. This allows for a bunch of convenience, such as instant finality and no forking, and is perhaps Algorand's "secret sauce".
Since other participants know how much stake is expected to be online and active at any given moment of time, a fair statistical lottery involving everyone can be set up with public parameters. The lottery can have an expected result like "there will be 20 eligible to visit the Willy Wonka factory". And best of all, the lottery does NOT need to coordinated by a central authority - instead all the online participants run the lottery to self-select themselves!This is how the VRF works in Algorand, a cryptographic primitive that allows you to produce a random output that is verifiably random.
In each round, everyone run the VRF such that on average 20 potential block proposers are chosen. These addresses now who they are and only they need to share their blocks and VRF tickets/credentials, no one else will even bother to share their failed block VRF attempt since nodes will not bother relaying them onwards.
Note that the number 20 stays the same no matter how many node runners there are! There could be a thousand or a million. This is how you can ensure that a 1000x in decentralization does not reduce your blockchain's performance by a similar factor. Everyone of these 20 individuals also have a personal stake weight. Algorand is a Proof-of-Stake blockchain, so the more stake you have the more you should have to say (on average).
This might be a little technical but you get to calculate a hash that is a concatenation of your credential and an index i. If your hash output is the LOWEST of all the 20 block proposals then your block wins.hash(credential, i) = outputYou are allowed to try multiple times however. hash(credential, 0), hash(credential, 1), ..., hash(credential, n). And you are allowed to grab the index that has given you the lowest output. What is the maximum value n? It's a function of your stake. So the more stake you have, the more shots you get to take basically.
A committee called the soft committee is, on a similar basis of VRFs and so on, assemble. Instead of 20 though almost 2990 are self-selected. They vote and pick the block proposal with the lowest hash output.A second committee, called the cert committee (1500 members), assembles and they verify that the transactions in the block are valid. No double spending etc.
Once again, because we know how much stake and how many are meant to be online, we can run these elegant schemes.We run through these steps in one round, a block is produced and it is instantly final. The network as a whole can tell the world "Look, we have convened and arrived on this block." And so long as 2/3rds are honest, there is no forking of the chain of blocks.
Consider the Papal Conclave. The Cardinals essentially lock themselves in the Sistine chapel, expelling outsiders. Once they have converged on the next Pope with a 2/3rd majority, white smoke (Fumata) is released from a chimney.Papal Conclave
Papal Conclave
In Bitcoin OTOH, it's the Wild West, a messy fog of war. Every node has to hash hash hash, spending their energy, often fruitlessly. If/once they complete a Proof of Work they share their blocks not only to their miner peers but confidently to the world itself. The world is inundated with many potential blocks, and users have to wait 6 blocks (60 minutes) to really feel secure that their transaction went through.
Dynamic Lambda
Bitcoiners do coordinate on the difficulty. They aim to produce a block roughly every 10 mins, and will up or down the difficulty.
Algorand can do much better.
Consider a school bus. It has a set route and a list of kids for every stop.
Two factors determine how fast the school bus driver can finish their route:
  • 1: Time driving between the stops.
  • 2: Time waiting for the kids at each stop.

1 is dependent on a number of outside factors, e.g. traffic, the laws of physics, what speed limit is safe to drive on the route. But the school district CAN choose to invest in a better school bus. In theory, it could issue an orderer a Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter to zip the kids to school.

2 is dependent on the kids and their families. Do the kids rise early or sleep in? Are the parents pro-active? Etc.A yellow school bus, recognizable to the rest of the world from Hollywood moviesYou could imagine the driver keeping statistics and acting accordingly. He or she might decide to stay 5 minutes at every stop before moving on.

A yellow school bus, recognizable to the rest of the world from Hollywood movies
The driver tries it but realizes that they're filling up the bus fast and then having t wait.Next time, they decide to stay 3 minutes at every stop before moving on.However this time, as they're driving off, they see in their side view mirrors that kids keep running after the bus.4 minutes, they decide, is the sweet spot.
In Algorand, we call this Dynamic Lambos Lambda. Specifically, Lambda refers to the time, and it is dynamic.
Once again, since the nodes have a much greater awareness of who their peers are at any given time than in other blockchains, they can calibrate their own "internal stopwatches". If 95% of blocks and votes and other activity arrives for all the steps within 2.8 seconds, then we make 2.8 seconds our block time. In fact that is our block time - one block is produced, and is instantly final no ifs or buts, every 2.8 seconds.
In the future, should we see performance gains in the nodes (e.g. by raising minimum specs due to hardware becoming cheaper, or by improving transaction validation time in blocks, etc), that 95% percentile time might come down, and the block time with it. Similarly, we are soon to see changes to the Algorand networking layer. Should it slow the network down, Dynamic Lambda ensures the nodes also change their expectations.
Okay, but what are the downsides?
Let's say a catastrophic event splits the Earth in half. What would happen to our blockchains? (Or even if the Earth doesn't physically split in half, one could imagine a country going into a networking lockdown.)
In Bitcoin, the nodes would continue none-the-wiser. Half of the world would converge on one fork. The other half would converge on another. All would be well... until the halves are connected again. Then, the Bitcoin protocol dictates, whichever fork is the longest will super impose itself on the other, while the shorter fork will simply disappear. Regardless of how many real-life purchases were made with Bitcoin, the state and everyone's balances (in the one half) will be rolled back to when the fork happened, as if that timeline had never existed in the first place.
(Unless, of course humans intervene and decide to spin their own preferred fork into its own Bitcoin fork.)
On Algorand however, as mentioned before, in each round we expect 20 block proposals, 2990 soft votes and 1500 cert votes. If a node notices that far fewer proposals and votes are reaching it (following a network partition), it will halt itself. The threshold lies at a 20% drop.
Similar to an online storefront that follows Consistency over Availability, Algorand nodes prefer to take the safe over the unsafe. But don't confuse this halt for a messy crash, rather, it is a graceful stop which it will quickly get itself out of once it sees the connections come back again. Or a human intervenes.
Isn't that an attack vector though? Only requiring 20% at that to bring down Algorand!
In theory yes it is an attack vector. An adversary could buy up hundreds of millions or billions of Algo, constitute 20% of the online stake and then render themselves offline by refusing to contribute any activity.
Of course this does NOT allow them to cause a fork in the chain (that requires 33%), or to force through malicious transactions. It simply causes a halt in the chain.In practice this would be horrendously expensive - buying up all those Algo, driving the price up for each percentage point, only to then expose yourself by going offline.
There is a smaller version of this, however, that we are more concerned with. In other chains, if an amateur sets up node software to mine in the background of their computer and that computer goes offline every night, there are no issues.

On Algorand however, with the introduction of node incentives, we expect (and are hoping for) a lot more people to go through the efforts of setting up the node software, going online and contributing to consensus.
However, there is a risk that if many amateurs do this on their personal computers, a non-trivial group of those amateurs are concentrated in one area (e.g., US-East Timezone), and they all allow their computers to go offline... That could cause issues for the blockchain. Not because a powerful adversary made a coordinated and concerted effort to hurt Algorand, but because of the negligence of a large group of well-intentioned Algo holders.
In order to guard against this, a new protective measure will be introduced.
As I've mentioned repeatedly in this article - node runners know the stake of which addresses and the total stake online. It is thus possible to calculate, for each address and their relative stake, how often we'd expect them to deliver a block proposal, a soft vote and a cert vote.
If an address significantly deviates from that - e.g., due to the node being turned off - the nodes will issue a "takedown" transaction that they need to reach consensus on. That transaction will force the address in question to go from online stake to offline.
As these calculations add to the workload already being done by the nodes, a minimum staking limit will be added as well to be eligible for rewards. Otherwise, an adversary could spread "micro-stake" across a large number of addresses and exhaust honest nodes. But this minimum staking limit will also come with so called Reti pools - staking pools in which anyone can contribute much smaller stakes such that the sum exceeds the minimum limit and they can take part in the rewards, while a node runner collects a fee.
Pros and Cons
Every blockchain has its pros and cons. Some of the pros and cons of Algorand have been laid bare in this article. While people from outside Algorand might see the 20% halting property as more of a bug than a feature, they also need to consider the sheer benefits building on Algorand gets you: blazingly fast transactions (2.8s) that are IMMEDIATELY final.
By choosing consistency over availability, Algorand offers an experience that is unmatched among all the general purpose blockchains.

Help and advice please
Hi everyone.
Ive got a new build I'm trying to configure. The architect has come up with this design. Whats everyone's thoughts?
I feel it can be done a lot better
I want to maximise on space as there will be a lot of socialising and parties
The kitchen/diner is the largest we can possibly go. The utility is accessed via a hidden kitchen cupboard and alley way
I did not want the stairs to be right in front as soon as you come through the porch hence why is sort of hidden
The storage doesn't need to be there and can be removed
Wc can be moved around as long as we have one on the ground floor
Bedroom 2 and the ensuite will now become 1 large room.
Bedroom 5 - as soon as you walk in you're greeted by a wall
Is there anything you think can change to make it more welcoming
The ground for is 142.5m2 1st floor is 100.5m2
Appreciate all help and advice
Edit: bath, beds etc are not fixed in place. Anything can be moved

2024.05.12 16:05 Not_Mason_Pines Piecing Together the Inside of the Noceda Residence

Hi, hello, it's me again, posting some more work my brain forced me to do before I'm allowed to get back to writing again 'cause none of it will be seen by anyone if I don't.
tl;dr, I tried to use the scenes we get to put together two possible floorplans for the Noceda residence, though, surprise surprise, there's no definitive answer.
Here's also an imgur album where all the sketches and combined screenshots scattered around this post are located. I'd suggest having all embeds open for this post's formatting's sake. If you instead want to read this post on tumblr, head here. Anyway.

Introduction

Alright, so we all know that houses in cartoons are innocuous suburban homes that inside are secretly eldritch shapeshifting nightmares hellbent on driving anyone trying to put together a definitive interior insane, answering only to the whims of the storyboarders. And typically, the longer a show runs and the more scenes we get inside a house, the more contradictions etc. build up. Thankfully, the Noceda residence, which I think I'll call Walnut Grove, or the Grove for short from here on out (since Noceda is losely translated to grove of walnut trees, and the Grove or Walnut Grove sounds like something people might name their house). Petering out sentence aside, thankfully we only see the inside of the Grove in a couple episodes: Camila's room in Enchanting Grom Fright's last scene, the living room in the ending scene of Keeping up A-fear-ances, several scenes of the kitchen and Luz's bedroom in Yesterday's Lie, the kitchen and entry hall at the end of King's Tide, Luz's room and the upstairs hallway in the epilogue, and of course every single room we know of in Thanks To Them.
Since the scenes establishing the Grove's interior are mostly isolated to single rooms or all within one episode, hopefully the paradoxes and contradictions remain somewhat low. And of course, before we fully dive into things, this is not meant as a critique towards the show. Setting up a scene, joke, or otherwise, trumps a fully logical, realistic layout, and putting together a full floorplan prior to boarding or animating makes it almost impossible to account for any later rooms or more useful arrangements that are needed in the future.
So, with the introduction aside, let's first take a look at the exterior of Walnut Grove.
Walnut Grove exterior
The house is a quaint suburban home with two floors, possibly an attic, and (a later revealed) basement, with a forward-facing gable roof that has one shed-style dormer window at the front. There's a chimney off on the right, slightly off-center, and there's two windows on this side, one for each floor. The front door is to the left, along with six windows, two thinner ones on either side of the door and four big ones, though the second thin window is occasionally missing, such as in the picture above. There's no garage, just a driveway. The back and left-facing sides of the Grove are never seen, so they're a blank slate, though it's very likely there's a backdoor. The general dimensions of the house seem to have a comparable width to length, close to a square.

First attempt

With that out of the way, now for piecing together the actual inside. Let's have the first attempt start right at the front door, which opens up into the entry hall, where the staircase resides.
Front door
In the second half of Thanks to Them, there's a perfect shot that shows the full entryway.
Full entry hallway
Here you can see the stairs on the left, a door on the left near the back of the stairs, a door all the way at the end with ventilation up top, and two openings on the right, one leading directly into the kitchen.
As a funny aside, in the extended intro in Thanks to Them there's a shot of the hall that looks like this, where the stairs have to be fit in a seriously thin slice on the left to not be visible.
Spaghettified staircase
Anyway, going counter-clockwise, the living room is easily established as being the first opening on the right of the hall (hard to see due to low lighting), the stairs are also visible from the living room. The majority of this room is occupied by drawers and small tables, plus a large sofa in the middle with a TV against the front wall. There's also a window off to the right.
Living room
The back right corner of the living room is never seen properly, nor is the front wall beyond a close-up shot of the TV, but the back left has this additional inward corner.
The other room visible in the prior establishing shot of the entry hall is the kitchen, being accessible through the second opening. These two opposing shots give a full view of the kitchen. There's a counter that runs along the back three walls, along with a kitchen island and a breakfast table on the other side. The microwave and stove top plus oven are on the left along with the fridge, and the sink's at the back.
Kitchen
The opening on the right of the second picture leads into the hallway, with the other exit being a regular door.
There's also a different angle where the opening is seen more clearly, with the room opposite the hall being the downstairs toilet. This also means the door on the left of the establishing shot of the entry hallway belongs to the downstairs toilet, leaving only the door at the back of the hall unaccounted for, though the presence of the window in the kitchen makes it very likely this is the backdoor, or something that leads into a small room that has the backdoor.
Kitchen view of toilet
And that should be all the known rooms on the ground floor done with. Here's a crude sketch for the layout (not necessarily to scale):
Sketch of downstairs
Before making anything more definitive, let's move on to the other two floors. First, the basement is probably the easiest and most well-defined. These two opposing shots map out the majority of it.
Basement
There's a small work station and a sofa seated up against the stairs down to the basement, a closet on the wall to the right, alongside a washedryer setup. In the opposing corner is a small bar. This was definitely the mancave. The one thing that's missing is a pool table. The only trouble the basement has is…where are the stairs to the basement located? The space right under the stairs in the entryway is already occupied by the downstairs toilet, and the front of the house is already mapped from left to right: left wall -> entry hall -> living room -> window on the right wall. The only bits with space undefined/left is in the back right, as the kitchen's right wall has no windows or anything to indicate it's actually an outside wall, or the back left, with the unassigned door which may or may not be the backdoor obscuring things. The unassigned door has ventilation above it, and while I'm not sure, I presume it's common to have those above interior doors rather than exterior ones, so perhaps there is indeed another room back there. Especially if it's the entry to the basement, which has no windows or access to the outside for ventilation. Plus, the way the kitchen extends further back than the hallway in its establishing shot suggests there is room back there.
Lastly, let's move on to the upper floor.
The main thing we see on this floor is Luz's room, which is almost fully mapped by these shots, leaving just one corner unseen.
Luz's room
It has a bunk bed, a window on either side on both walls, a built-in closet with sliding door on the opposing wall, a small bookcase, and a desk under the right-most window. This is also where we run into the first definitive irreconcilable contradiction. You can see the slanted roof of the house here, with Luz's ceiling going up diagonally from the wall with the bookcase to the door at the back. However, in Yesterday's Lie, Vee jumps out of the desk window on the right, and comes out the shed window at the front of the Grove.
Vee yeeting out the window
Furthermore, we also have a shot at the end of the extended intro in Thanks to Them, where Luz sits at her desk on the right and directly sees the school bus arrive at the front.
School bus arrives
So, the ceiling says the desk window should be on the side of the Grove, but two instances say the window is at the front. There's sadly no way to reconcile this, so any future layout will have to compromise and pick one or the other. One thing that's clear though is that Luz's room has a front-facing wall. Whether that means her room is at the front-right corner or the front-left corner is up to us to pick.
The ceiling's slant in Luz's room should start a lot lower near the floor anyway, as the roof at the front slants down all the way to the bottom of the upper floor, along with the shed window being obvious from the inside, while in Luz's room the diagonal ceiling is only near the top, and the windows are both on flat walls. But of course, fitting in a bunk bed with that kind of ceiling is much more difficult for animators with these shots, so let's just let that slide.
Moving on, we also get a few shots of the upstairs hallway.
Upstairs hallway
Now, I definitely think this hallway has been stretched out in the right picture, namely to add in all the photos on the wall, so let's go with animation trickery and assume the length is shorter than this, otherwise it'll probably be wider than the entire house, length- or width-wise. We also have at least two doors on one side of the hall, possibly three since the door in the left picture is white, with the other door further back in the right picture being brown. There's also room behind the camera on the left for a door, as well as the stairs leading up to the hallway. There's no serious slant visible in the ceiling like in Luz's room, so the hallway isn't directly up against an outside wall, so that's one point off.
When it comes to Camilla's room we basically see nothing except the bed and the door, so nothing more to say about that.
Camila's room
Before I go ahead and show my first attempt at a complete floorplan, I'll also mention that we're missing a proper bathroom, so that's something that has to be around somewhere. Since there's at least three doors in the upstairs hallway, and convention, the bathroom will be upstairs.
There's also this inward corner in the back-left of the living room, and the kitchen doesn't have an alcove back there, so another room has to be back there. Though from all possible angles, no door can be seen. So apparently the Grove just has a hole in its center?
Unidentified empty space
Lastly, there's the already mentioned possible location of the basement stairs behind the door at the back of the hall. I'll leave out a highly possible attic space, as it's never shown, and adding it to the floorplan is pretty easy. Just a singular room with a collapsible ceiling ladder somewhere in the upstairs hallway.
With all this kept in mind, the floorplan that arises from this looks like this, though proportions can be altered a little:
Floorplans attempt 1
Some clarifications, I turned the mysterious gap in the center of the house into a pantry, with kitchen-access, even if there's no actual access visible in the show. The second doorway in the kitchen also directly leads into the living room, in the corner we can't see. A fireplace is also added, as there should be a chimney/fireplace around that location. The space behind the door at the back of the hall is turned into a room with access to the basement, though I can also see it containing the breaker box and that kind of stuff on the right wall.
For the basement, nothing more needs to be said, except yes, I did add the pool table. And for the upstairs, by making things fit with the parameters set with the ground floor, the additional space in the front-left corner becomes a home office (for Manny, rest in peace), with Luz's room at the front-right and her desk window becoming the shed window, and Camila's room at the back-right. Using up some of the remaining space for built-in closets, the potential third/middle door in the hallway becomes the missing bathroom, which is an en-suite here. Lastly, the remaining space in the back left just becomes more storage space.
So yeah, a few clunky things, but it works overall.
Now to tear this apart and point out all the inconsistencies I left out up until now.

The inconsistencies #1

Obviously, Luz's room is a Schrodinger's room that's in either the front-left corner state or the front-right corner state. For the sake of illustrating both options, I collapsed the wave function into front-right for this attempt, but I'll get back to the other state in a bit.
This also means the hallway is oriented wrong, as none of the slanted roof can be seen at the back, which would be the case if the orientation was front to back. The upstairs hallway is depicted as being oriented from left to right, parallel to the rooftop, especially with the window at the end.
Speaking of windows, the sideview of the Grove's exterior shows there's no window near the front at the right-facing wall, even though the living room has a window at the right. No matter what, the living room is solidly depicted as being in the front-right corner of the house, making this missing living room window the second irreconcilable contradiction we've encountered so far.
Keeping up with windows, the exterior window in the back of the right-facing wall is nowhere to be seen in the actual floorplan, belonging to the kitchen, which has no window on that wall. Furthermore, the side of a neighbor's house is visible in the kitchen window, meaning that wall is side-facing. This means the kitchen is either in the back-left corner or the front-right corner, though the latter is already occupied by the living room, so if anything, the kitchen would be in the back-left.
And, as mentioned previously, there's absolutely no entry to this mysterious hole in the center of the floorplans in any of the interior shots.
Kitchen window inconsistency
Based on these floorplans, it should also be clear that the house stretches back more than it is wide, which doesn't match up well with the outside, where the layout is more square.
Oh, and I left out the biggest inconsistency so far.
You remember that second entry to the kitchen? The one with the door, not the one to the entry hall? The one I assigned to being a direct passage into the living room?
Yeah, there's a whole second hallway beyond there, one we never actually see from within in the show.
Surprise hallway!
So…big oversight on my part there.
With all these big inconsistencies pointed out though, barring the two irreconcilable ones, let's try again, and attempt to work out these kinks.

Second attempt

I'll spare you the same pictures of the rooms again, so let's get to the meat of this second attempt.
Rather than base things off the entryway, let's instead build things up on the ground floor around the kitchen, since that one had the biggest inconsistencies in attempt one.
Well, let's start with putting the kitchen at the left of the house, with the kitchen window facing left. We also still have the downstairs toilet across the hall from the opening, and we now also have this second hallway visible from the other door, which has a corner, if not a T-junction, right where the kitchen door is, and two doors, one for each wall of said corner.
A crude sketch of this arrangement looks like this:
Sketch of kitchen and hallway
We now have a weird mess of hallways and turns, but to further build on this, let's just connect the two bits of hallway we can see into one, which you'll see just below in the final floorplan.
Of course, the location of the entry hallway and the living room doesn't change whatsoever, so let's just go ahead and show my full second attempt:
Floorplans attempt 2
As you can see here, the new kitchen direction with adjacent hallway system, combined with the entryway and living room, fills up quite a bit of floorspace. That, and the downstairs toilet now neatly explains the back-left corner of the living room. Concerning the two additional doors visible in the second hallway, I've assigned one to the pantry, and the other to a small closet containing the breaker box.
The long stretch of hallway parallel to the right of the kitchen did create some empty space between the living room and the pantry, but I filled this up with a proper dining room. This also now happens to be the spot where the chimney/fireplace would be located, which seems very fitting.
The basement does not change in any significant way, besides needing to figure out where the basement stairs are, as the kitchen now occupies the space right behind the entry stairway. As the weird second hallway section seems to extend beyond the windowless kitchen wall, the implied space right beyond the kitchen is turned into the basement stairs. This also turns the whole basement by ninety degrees.
Lastly, there is the upstairs. As the placement of the staircase really does not change, the floorplan of the upstairs is not determined by that of the downstairs. In reality, the floorplan of the first attempt and that of the second attempt here could be interchanged if you fudged the proportions a little. Anyway, for this upstairs I collapsed the Luz Schrodinger's room wave function into the front-left corner state, meaning we're now adhering to the sloped roof visible in Luz's room rather than the desk window. I also gave the one corner that's never actually shown in the show an indent to give some room for the stairs to go up without the ceiling being in the way.
With her room in the front-left, this makes the hallway stretch from left-to-right, also solving that discrepancy discussed with the last attempt. Beyond that, I assigned the three visible doors upstairs to Luz's room, a hallway closet, and the home office (otherwise an empty space), with the shed window now being part of said office, and in the back there's Camila's room, a walk-in closet, and the en-suite bathroom to fill the remaining space.
All in all, a decently put together floorplan, I'd say. Now let's point out what's wrong with this one.

The inconsistencies #2

Let's get the obvious ones out of the way. Luz's desk window now doesn't face the front anymore, but this was one of two irreconcilable contradictions anyway. The other one is the lack of a living room window on the right side of the house, which again can't be fixed.
Speaking of windows, the one in Luz's room, above her low bookshelf, is not visible on the exterior, where only the shed windows are visible. Proportions just won't allow this shed window to belong to Luz's room, unless you fudge with things and make the other room on the front end be much thinner. At least there's now space for a window on the lower right wall near the back, which I added to the bit of hallway that reaches the right wall, between the dining room and pantry.
There are two glaring inconsistencies though, one being the fact the entrance hall no longer matches the one establishing shot, where the kitchen is visibly established as being oriented where its one window is facing the back. This kitchen window both facing the back of the house as well as showing one of the neighboring houses is the third irreconcilable contradiction.
Full entry hallway
The other big inconsistency involves the downstairs toilet, which happens to have a small window on the wall opposite the door. The stars are even visible through it.
Quantum tunneling toilet window
In this layout, this wall is an interior one, with the living room being on the other side. It seems this window is somehow capable of quantum tunneling to the exterior wall, which doesn't sound very realistic. (As an aside, I'll skip on figuring out a floorplan for the actual Owl House, citing magic as my excuse. That, or 'Hooty was feeling a little quirky with his insides that scene' when contradictory shots show up).

Concluding remarks

In general, the Noceda residence is decently well established, and does not have too many irreconcilable contradictions, as hoped for predicted in the introduction. Trust me, other cartoon houses are notorious for being extremely inconsistent in their depictions.
  1. Luz's desk window suggests her room plus upstairs hallway stretch front-to-back, but the ceilings of her room and hallway show they stretch left-to-right.
  2. The kitchen window is facing left, but the entry hall and kitchen are established to face front-to-back.
  3. The living room is established to be in the front-right corner, but the window visible on the right wall is absent on the outside.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the two layouts I put together, though I personally prefer the second attempt. Besides the three irreconcilable contradictions, which you'll just have to pick and choose or ignore altogether, there's only three other contradictions here, compared to the five of the first attempt, which included the missing hallway. That, and things just fit together more neatly. I do like how both have at least one loop in them. I can just picture younger Luz doing the human equivalent of zoomies on the ground floor.
So, dear reader who's somehow found this post and read it to the end, which floorplan do you prefer, or think makes more sense? Keep in mind that you can swap the layouts for the upstairs between the two attempts as long as you adjust the proportions a little.
But that's enough out of me. I'll see you once the next side-tangent for fic writing hits and I put too much effort into it to not show it online.

2024.05.12 13:10 VisualCold756 WIBTA if I continued living with dad after he cheated on mum and done lots of things wrong or should I move back in with mum?

Throwaway account as I don’t know if anyone I know has reddit. Sorry if this is long I just want some advice and just venting.
Backstory: I lived in a family of 5, my dad(50-somthing m) my mum(52 f) my sister let’s call her Mia(22 f) my brother (17 m) and me(16f). Mum and dad married 30 years. In November last year, my father broke the news to my family that he had been cheating on my mum with a coworker (let’s call her Lisa, 32f) and has a 5 year old daughter together with her and was moving in with her. Now my mother is a lovely woman, but she also has a way of always saying that I’m too fat and I need to exercise more and I’m obease and I need to loose weight and I shouldn’t eat that much ALL THE TIME. She is extremely strict and has locked all food in a cupboard with a padlock and chains. I’m not even that large I’m 5’4 and 45kg. I like to think I’m just wide boned. She has given me so many insecurities and try’s to say she just wants what’s best for me. She’s manipulative as-well and somehow gets my friends texting her about everything I’m doing just so she can ground me. She wants me to be more like Mia who works out at the gym, is a popular girl very skinny and mussely. She’s one of the popular fake girls and always is mean to me unprovoked. (This is important for later) My father on the other hand has a history of getting very angry and lashing out(P.A.). I met Lisa about a week after he moved In with her, and she is like a cool aunt. My dad wont touch me when she’s around maybe because he wants to impress her? Both of my parents are not nice to me and are abusive in both ways (mum mental and dad physical). Also they both regularly remind me how I was a mistake child and they only ever wanted 2. My siblings both chose to not talk to my dad and only contact him if they want or need money. I chose to live in with them as I feel safer when I’m around Lisa. Ive been getting nasty messages from my mums mates and my mates and stuff all angry that I picked to live with dad over mum (not true I have week swap overs every second week as in my country I am legally aloud no guardian at 18) So yes I am with my dad for 2 weeks and then my mum for one week. I know my dad will never put me first and I will always be at the bottom of his priority’s, I just can’t stand being in the same house as Mia as she says things like jump off a cliff that really hurts me. When I go over to mums it’s usually Mia being nasty to me (she moved back in with mum after dad left her) and calls me names and winds me up. This particular time I was visiting mum, Mia told me that I was a pig and I should go back to dads “where I belong with the hoe bags” and I felt upset so I went to go call my dad to pick me up. When he does he is in AUSTRALIA with his gf and when I ask about it he just says he needs to get away. Later on I find out that my grandma (dads mum) who was suffering from dementia has past away and I get this info from my younger cousin who’s 11f. Of course im angry because not only did they not tell me they were leaving for another country they never told me she was dying. Or even dead. I confronted him abt it and his gf Lisa jumped in and said that life happens and I need to suck it up and “grow up” because he’s “still family” and shit Happens in life and life sucks like that. They left their daughter here too. My dad is constantly letting me down and now my bio family is starting to disown me for always going back to him when he keeps proving I will never be important to him and letting me down. I don’t know what to do as both parties are trying to turn me against each and both sides I’m hearing are equally as bad and I don’t know what to do. I still love both parents even tho they don’t treat me nice and don’t want to loose either one of them but I’m also so done with being stuck in the family wars all the time.
Please someone give me advice.
