2024.05.18 13:55 worldgreene-waste GLOBAL LANDSCAPE OF EPR -Extended Producer Responsibility

THE GLOBAL LANDSCAPE OF EPR
EPR -Extended Producer Responsibility is a policy approach wherein the manufacturer of a product is held responsible for the product's entire wheel of life , including its recycling and disposal , where the producer's responsibility for a product is extended to the post-consumer stage of its life process. This concept has gained traction globally as a means to encourage producers to design products that are easier to recycle and dispose of responsibly.
OBJECTIVES OF EPR :
1. EPR promotes reduction of waste and it conserve resources also.
  1. It encourages manufacturers and producers to design product that are more environmentally friendly and recycle easily.
  2. Economic incentives are created for producers to adopt sustainable practices for production.
  3. The burden of waste management is shifted from municipalities to manufacturers.
5.The main objective of Extended Producer Responsibility is to block the issue of waste generation.
ELEMENTS OF EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility)
1. Financial responsibility : The financial responsibility for the collection, recycling and disposal of their products is beared to manufacturers.
2. Encouragement : Manufacturers are encourged to design products that are recyclable ,environment friendly and durable so that our resources can be conserved.
3. Investing : To improve recycling capabilities manufacturers and producers collaborate with waste management system ,invest in recycling infrastructure.
4.Reclaim system: To collect and recycle products at the end of their life , manufacturers and producers establish reclaim system.
5.Regulation: extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies are implemented typically through regulatory framework at regional and national level.
FUTUREDIRECTIONS AND GLOBAL LANDSCAPE
Nowadays , A growing trend is there towards expanding EPR to cover categories and additional products icluding batteries, textile , electronics , and metal scrap and plastic.
(EPR) Extended Producer Responsibility policy is increasing day by day all over the world. Many countries adopting this policy for better future across the world. This EPR policy ,driving innovation in product design so that producers seek to meet their extended responsibilities cost- effectiely and more efficiently.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) plays very important role in global landscape of Eco- friendly environment by activating manufacturers and producers to take greater responsibility for the environmental impact of their products throughout their life process. Many regions and countries have implemented various programs for various product categories like batteries, electronics ,metal scrap, plastic , tyres , packaging etc. Leading to increased reduced land fillings , recycling rates, and decreased environment pollution. As per EPR policy now businesses that creates products becomes organizationally and financially responsible for their products end of life management.
EPR regulations can significantly vary across different countries and regions and are subject to frequent updates, these platforms offer a dynamic solution ,keeping manufacturers informed and ahead of the curve.
IMPACTON ENVIRONMENTAL LIFECYCLE
Producers are fully responsible for EPR placement for their products entire life cycle, especially at the phase of end-life of products. So, from resource extraction to disposal manufacturers should ensures that products should be managed in an responsible manner .This will encourage a comprehensive view of environmental impact.
IMPACTON CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
Consumers also plays a vital role in (EPR) Extended Producer Responsibility .This includes participating in recycling programs and making more informed purchasing decisions. EPR influence consumer behaviour also by raising awareness about the products impact on environment.
PRODUCTDESIGN SUSTAINABILITY
EPR encourages eco- friendly designs that are easy to recycle or reuse so that waste can be reduced and conserve resources. This thinking will definitely ensures that environmental consideration are integrated from the beginning of a products creation .However, it becomes easier to recover valuable components and resouces and put them to new uses.
PENALTIESAND ECONOMIC INCENTIVES
EPR policies implement penalties or higher fees for non-compliance. The main aim of EPR policies is to motivate companies to adopt environmental friendly practices.
CONCLUSION
The effective management of EPR will contribute to the goal of realizing sustainability, resource efficiency and circularity. However ,successfully managing waste and the system in which it circulates will not only rely on the manufacturing and development of products based on circular principles but the robustness of coordination across value chainsand the development of strong markets forvaluable recycled, remanufactured, recovered or refurbished goos and materials. These achievements require a well functioning EPR system . We found that despite positive results of EPR so far , a number of challenges remain and have to be addressed , like
  1. How to ensure proper enforcement of recycling standards
  2. Development of a coordinating framework for EPR
  3. How to achieve waste collection targets
EPR – Extended Producer Responsibility faces challenges such as enforcement , the need for effective monitoring and compliance. However , the global landscape of EPR is expected to continue evolving it may also includes further expansion of product coverage, harmonization of Extented Producer Responsibility regulations across regions and also the integration of digital technologies to enhance traceability and transparency in supply chains.

2024.05.18 13:52 cosmiicsloth Anyone else feel like their life is boring?

Recently I clicked with a couple people in my lab group at college and they asked me to join them to go for drinks. It's been a while since I've had friends in college so I'm happy to have company, but the contrast between their lives and mine has made me feel insecure. I don't have an issue with doing my thing and staying home most of the time; it only becomes one when I'm in the middle of a conversation and I notice I have absolutely nothing to say about myself.
These people were talking about their adventures travelling and having fun with friends, and while sure, I've travelled, it's usually very chill and no drama. I'm not saying I wish I had drama in my life, but based on prior experiences I always felt like my friends were more interesting. I never quite contributed to conversations or felt valued by other people as someone interesting and worth getting to know, just because I'd rather be home reading books and watching movies than doing wild shit with friends. Has anyone else experienced the same?

2024.05.18 13:50 nonner123 Four Year Old with Joint Pain Causing a Limp, Unknown Why

4F, 3'3", 41 lbs, white, pain in right leg causing a limp and shoulder and wrist pain since Monday night, no known existing medical issues.
On Monday night my daughter woke up crying that her leg hurt. After a couple hours in which she couldn't sleep and kept crying, we took her to the ER where they performed an XRay and ultrasound of her hips. No issues were found, leading them to conclude it could be transient synovitis (irritation of joint after viral illness) or viral myositis. They said to give her Motrin and monitor.
Four days later, she is still limping and complaining of pain in those areas. It's not debilitating, she is for the most part her usual self, healthy appetite, etc. She can jump and run/walk, though more slowly than normal. But she'll complain it hurts trying to climb up something or sitting down. Last night she woke up saying her leg hurt again, but we gave her Tylenol and she slept soundly the rest of the night.
I'm worried that her pediatrician doesn't really seem to know what's going on (we have seen her twice since the ER visit), which to me indicates this is unusual. They drew blood two days ago and her CMP, creatinine kinase, sedimentation rate were all within normal range. Her CBC values were all within normal range except neutrophils relative (70%), lymphocytes relative (21.3%), and neutrophils absolute (6.79). Her c-reactive protein is 2.1.
We are treating her with Motrin every six hours and Tylenol about once a day. Her pediatrician said to keep watching for any rashes, swelling, bruising, redness around joints, and check back in mid-week next week if she's not any better.
I'm really worried because leading up to Monday night she wasn't sick at all. Googling of course has scared me. I'd appreciate any insights from medical professionals.

2024.05.18 13:46 Repulsive_Spite_4992 Banned bird, this is how your report should have been.

Banned bird......This is a report (Elphaba)
To whom this concerns,
On the evening's 30/4/24- 1/5/24, I was absolutely horrified and left in disgust at the behaviour of one of your creators on tiktok live. Elphaba Orion Doherty, who also uses other accounts to side step account bans, displayed extremely horrifying behaviour that should never be witnessed on the app.
Thousands of people, potentially even many more thousands after the initial incident, were subjected to dangerous suicide baiting behaviour and violent content by Elphaba Orion Doherty. She held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill herself to thousands upon thousands of viewers, whilst appearing to be very unstable after an incident the previous evening of claiming she had self harmed. On the day of the 1/5/24, she was even showing her viewers, who again were in the thousands her self harm "injuries" on her wrist and arm, saying that she would "show them" to her viewers so she could manipulate her audience for more gifts.
Elphaba Orion Doherty was allowed, despite thousands and thousands and thousands of reports for online safety due to the content of brandishing a knife to her own throat, threatening harm to herself and saying she "wants to die" These reports were all received with no violations and the live was allowed to continue for over twenty minutes.
Children under the age of sixteen years of age have self harmed as a result of this. Adults who experience mental health battles have harmed themselves as a result of this. Families and friends of those who have committed suicide have been affected by this.
This creator has a track record of inflammatory behaviour on the app, which again has been reported on numerous occasions because of the very real risk to children who do have access to the app. Not only just children and impressionable young people, but also the vupnerable adults and everhone else who is subjected to this behaviour. The content of this creator suicide baiting, threatening to kill themselves, actively abusing alcohol and narcotics whilst on live is completely unacceptable. If she isn't displaying the above-mentioned behaviour, then she is demanding gifts and money from her viewers, literally demanding.
Due to Elphaba being a trans creator and also young (20 years of age) She is very attractive to the younger generations, the target audience being children as a large percentage of her gifters and viewers are children. She already has an extremely negative influence on these children, with her regular intoxicated ramblings, narcotic induced tantrums, and now suicide baiting and self harming while on live, is a psychological and emotional minefield for children. Elphaba needs IP bans and enforced bans from making other accounts for the safety and well-being of so many people who use the app and platform for welcomed, creative purposes.
On a daily basis, Elphaba breaks the platforms own policies. Please see below. And I am using general terms in referring to youths 13+ who are legally allowed to have accounts and access to the platform.
TIKTOK POLICY BREACHES
•"Youth safety is our priority. We do not allow content that may put young people at risk of exploitation, or psychological, physical, or developmental harm. This includes child sexual abuse material (CSAM), youth abuse, bullying, dangerous activities and challenges, exposure to overtly mature themes, and consumption of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or regulated substances. If we become aware of youth exploitation on our platform, we will ban the account, as well as any other accounts belonging to the person."
As we are aware that Elphaba Orion Doherty has regularly exploited 13+ youths to emotional and psychological harm by displaying the above mentioned behaviour of suicide baiting, self harm, narcotic and alcohol abuse on a regular basis. Elphaba regularly discusses sexual exhibitionism and sexual assault incidents that have allegedly happened to her, and she routinely sexualises comments and innuendos that are inappropriate entirely. Not to mention how Elphaba regularly manipulates her young viewers for gifts.
•"We are committed to bringing people together in a way that does not lead to physical conflict. We recognize that online content related to violence can cause real-world harm. We do not allow any violent threats, incitement to violence, or promotion of criminal activities that may harm people, animals, or property. If there is a specific, credible, and imminent threat to human life or serious physical injury, we report it to relevant law enforcement authorities."
The platform does have many qualities and content that is perfect for what is described, however Elphaba has threatened to physically harm other creators on a regular basis, has been active in criminal activities such as using narcotics, encouraging underage drinking of alcohol and encouraging dangerous behaviour.
• "TikTok is enriched by the various backgrounds of our community members. Our differences should be respected, rather than a cause for division. We do not allow any hateful behavior, hate speech, or promotion of hateful ideologies. This includes content that attacks a person or group because of protected attributes, including: Caste, Ethnicity, National Origin, Race, Religion, Tribe, immigration status, Gender, Gender Identity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, serious diseases."
Elphaba has repeatedly broken these guidelines which have been reported, again thousands of thousands of times in her lives. She has been transphobic, racist remarks, direct racism to other content creators, discriminatory towards other genders. She has also made sexualised remarks regarding other's sexual identity and violent sexual exhibitionism regarding others of the opposite sex.
• "TikTok is a place where people can come to discuss or learn about sexuality, sex or reproductive health. We are mindful that certain content may not be appropriate for young people, may be considered offensive by some, or may create the potential for exploitation. We do not allow sexual activity or services. This includes sex, sexual arousal, fetish and kink behavior, and seeking or offering sexual services. However, it does not include reproductive health and sex education content."
Elphaba does not host informative content such as sex education or reproductive health discussions. She regularly broadcasts that she wants to find a "man" and how he needs to have particular attributes. She often discusses what she would do to these men, quite graphically which again, is not appropriately for her target audience.
• "We celebrate all shapes and sizes and want people to feel comfortable in how they present themselves and their bodies. We understand societies approach body exposure and clothing differently, so we seek to reflect prevailing cultural norms about nudity. We do not allow nudity, including uncovered genitals and buttocks, as well as nipples and areolas of women and girls. Sheer and partially see-through clothing is not considered covered. We allow regional exceptions for showing nipples and areolas in limited situations, such as medical treatment, educational purposes, or as a part of culturally accepted practices. Not all young people have the developmental maturity to respond to unwanted physical attention and uninvited sexualization, which may lead to psychological or physical harm. We do not allow significant body exposure of young people. Content is age-restricted if it shows significant body exposure of an adult. Content is ineligible for the FYF if it shows moderate body exposure of a young person, or significant body exposure of an adult. We allow regional exceptions for body exposure in limited situations, such as common cultural practices."
Elphaba on more than one occasion has exposed their genitals, full genitals while dancing provocatively in a dress at a club and this video has circulated. She has also exposed herself on her own lives while wearing a different dress on a separate occasion. She has also exposed her chest and cleavage in provocative dresses, including adding make up to accentuate herself to be more visually appealing.
•" TikTok is a place where people can come to discuss or learn about sexuality, sex or reproductive health. We are mindful that certain content may not be appropriate for young people, may be considered offensive by some, or may create the potential for exploitation. We do not allow sexual activity or services. This includes sex, sexual arousal, fetish and kink behavior, and seeking or offering sexual services. However, it does not include reproductive health and sex education content."
Elphaba regularly discusses her sexual preferences and discusses her kinks and broadcasts her sexual desires whilst on live stream. She routinely discusses her slime fetish, venom fetish, vore, human bodily fluids and often discusses masturbation.
• "In a global community, it is natural for people to have different opinions, but we seek to operate on a shared set of facts and reality. We do not allow inaccurate, misleading, or false content that may cause significant harm to individuals or society, regardless of intent. Significant harm includes physical, psychological, or societal harm, and property damage. It does not extend to commercial and reputational harm, nor does it cover simply inaccurate information and myths. We rely on independent fact-checking partners and our database of previously fact-checked claims to help assess the accuracy of content. Content is ineligible for the FYF if it contains general conspiracy theories or unverified information related to emergencies. To be cautious, content that warrants fact-checking is also temporarily ineligible for the FYF while it is undergoing review. To help you manage your TikTok experience, we add warning labels to content related to unfolding or emergency events which have been assessed by our fact-checkers but cannot be verified as accurate, and we prompt people to reconsider sharing such content."
Elphaba regularly discusses dark conspiracies such as governmental conspiracy, wars and conflicts and repeatedly spreads misinformation medically, politically and in general day to day life and has consistently preached anti governmental propaganda.
• "Content shared online may be seen by anyone, and has a wide reach. We are committed to making sure that any personal information shared intentionally or accidentally on TikTok does not lead to harm. We do not allow content that includes personal information that may create a risk of stalking, violence, phishing, fraud, identity theft, or financial exploitation. This includes content that someone has posted themselves or that they consented to being shared by others."
Personal information has been broadcasted by Elphaba where she has, on numerous occasions attempted to "expose" other tiktok creator's who have spoken out against her behaviour. She has actively put out personal information in terms of photos, names, addresses and incited hatred from her own viewers and supporters on these people she believes is against her when these people simply want to make the app safer for everyone involved. Essentially, Elphaba has "doxxed" also known as, leaking private information in the belief to cause malicious harm. She has also financially exploited vulnerable viewers who have sent ridiculously large amounts of gifts in (monetary value) under the agreement or promise of personal interaction on a one to one basis, or to join the live, or her usual speech is "Send a big gift for a follow"
UK LAW BREACHES
• Threatening behaviour with an offensive weapon - This can be prosecuted under The Offensive Weapons Act 2019, Threatening with an offensive weapon etc in a private place – Section 52.
•Threatening behaviour to other creators - This can be prosecuted under the Malicious Communication Act 1988 and the Communications Act 2003. Online threats could take many forms including threats to kill, harm or to commit an offence against a person, group of people or organisation

2024.05.18 13:41 macelisa How to get ANY sleep when newborn screams bloody murder day every time she’s not on your chest?

Ok this might be a dumb question but HOW do you guys get ANY sleep if your newborn literally screams his or her head off as soon as he/she is away from you?
My baby is a few days old and the only time she doesn’t scream is when she’s on top of me, either sleeping or feeding. When anyone else tries to take her, including Dad, she just starts screaming and is inconsolable. She would probably scream for hours if I let her. I have not gotten more sleep than 20min at a time since she was born. I’m absolutely utterly sleep deprived and barely function.
Before she was born I thought my husband and I could just take turns watching her and sleep in a different room 6h or so hours at a time. Now I would be more than happy if I was able to sleep for 3 hours straight. I have a bassinet that’s attached right to our bed but that’s not enough for her. She needs to be on top of me. And I honestly can’t sleep when she’s on top of me.
What do I do? Just accept it and not sleep until she stops screaming every time she’s away from me? Give her to Dad and let him figure it out, even if that means she’ll scream for hours without calming down? Anything else?

2024.05.18 13:37 adil62 .net core mysql how to group by week ?

I'm new to .NET Core and working on a project where I need to group data by week using Entity Framework Core (EF Core) with a MySQL database. However, I'm encountering an issue with the grouping.
Here's the LINQ query I'm using:
from report in _context.DmarcReports .Where(r => r.DomainName == request.Domain) .Where(r => !request.BeginDate.HasValue r.BeginDate >= request.BeginDate.Value) .Where(r => !request.EndDate.HasValue r.EndDate <= request.EndDate.Value) join summary in _context.DmarcSummary on report.ReportId equals summary.ReportId join sourceLookup in _context.SourceLookup on summary.SourceIp equals sourceLookup.Ip let week = EF.Functions.DateDiffWeek( EF.Functions.DateFromParts(report.BeginDate.Year, 1, 1), report.BeginDate ) + 1 let year = report.BeginDate.Year group summary by new { sourceLookup.SourceName, Week = week, Year = year } into g select new { Date = EF.Functions.DateFromParts(g.Key.Year, 1, 1), Date = new DateTime(g.Key.Year, 1, 1).AddDays((g.Key.Week - 1) * 7), SourceName = g.Key.SourceName, DMARCPassCount = g.Sum(x => x.DMARCVolume), } 
I'm trying to use EF.Functions.DateDiffWeek() to calculate the week number for grouping. However, I'm getting the following error:
'DbFunctions' does not contain a definition for 'DateDiffWeek' and no accessible extension method 'DateDiffWeek' accepting a first argument of type 'DbFunctions' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) 
I've already added the necessary using directives:
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore; using Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql; 
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

2024.05.18 13:35 Tonejr83 Can anyone explain these lease deals to me like I'm 5?

Love Kia's but bought a Ariya a year ago because I couldn't wait for the ev9 lol. I like my Ariya but ready to go back to Kia. Due to my trade in value and the EV9 prices when they first came out I decided it's better to just wait.
So looks like people are getting good deals. I never leased, I prefer to buy and keep the EV9 until I absolutely need to buy another vehicle so I seen there are some lease to buy options that make sense? I live in Texas but open to buy anywhere. I know out of spec says Colorado does business with out of state but don't know their deals. Looking for a GTL.
So my thing is I'm not good at math, especially on the spot at the dealership LoL. I'm looking thru this form and see "36/10/?" (Can't remember the other number). "000.2211 rate", "MF" Etc. I have no idea what any of that means besides the "36" is talking about 36 months lease.
So where have people been getting good deals and do you think I should just keep waiting? Will my Ariya trade in get better or worse by the end of the year ? (Just fyi I pay $970 a month, would rather pay a few hundred less with an EV 9)

2024.05.18 13:33 Glorry-Deals-143 Quietum Plus - A Comprehensive Review of the Top Offer, Now Even Better

Quietum Plus - A Comprehensive Review of the Top Offer, Now Even Better
Introduction: I recently had the opportunity to try out Quietum Plus, a supplement marketed for improving auditory health. With claims of enhancing hearing function, reducing tinnitus symptoms, and supporting overall ear health, I was intrigued to see if it lived up to the hype.
What is Quietum Plus? Quietum Plus is a dietary supplement formulated with a blend of natural ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts. Its advertised purpose is to promote better hearing, alleviate ringing in the ears, and support the overall health of the auditory system.
Ingredients and Composition: One of the first aspects I examined was the composition of Quietum Plus. It contains a variety of ingredients known for their potential benefits to hearing health, such as vitamins C and E, zinc, potassium, and a proprietary blend of herbal extracts like hawthorn berry, garlic, and ginkgo biloba. These ingredients are purported to work synergistically to improve auditory function.
https://preview.redd.it/nf9nq10d861d1.jpg?width=299&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a3665c1408d81735862fe7b003f7d45a954dc83
Effectiveness: Having used the product for several weeks, I observed some positive effects on my auditory health. While my hearing didn't undergo any dramatic transformations, I did notice a slight reduction in the intensity of tinnitus symptoms. Additionally, I felt that my ears seemed clearer, with a subjective improvement in overall comfort.
https://preview.redd.it/j8lbl9bg861d1.jpg?width=1347&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5112357ab7521d1888ff905e77c9a6d3cfd7d43
Taste and Ease of Use: Quietum Plus comes in easy-to-swallow capsules, which makes it convenient to incorporate into daily routines. As for taste, there's no strong or unpleasant flavor, which is a plus for those who are sensitive to dietary supplements with overpowering tastes or odors.
Safety and Side Effects: One of the concerns many people have when trying a new supplement is its safety profile and potential side effects. I'm pleased to report that I didn't experience any adverse reactions while taking Quietum Plus. However, as with any dietary supplement, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications.
Long-Term Benefits: While my experience with Quietum Plus was generally positive in the short term, the question remains whether it provides significant long-term benefits for auditory health. Unfortunately, it's challenging to assess this within a relatively short trial period. Continued use over an extended period may be necessary to determine its full effects on hearing function and tinnitus management.
Price and Value: In terms of pricing, Quietum Plus falls within the range of similar supplements on the market. While it may not be the cheapest option available, its combination of natural ingredients and potential benefits make it a reasonable investment for those seeking to support their auditory health.
Conclusion: In conclusion, Quietum Plus offers a promising blend of natural ingredients aimed at improving auditory health and reducing tinnitus symptoms. While individual results may vary, my experience with the product was generally positive, with noticeable improvements in comfort and tinnitus intensity. However, like any supplement, it's essential to manage expectations and consult with a healthcare professional before use.

2024.05.18 13:24 Fluffy_Suspect_4276 Special request: looking for a solid B5 notebook with 400+ pages for use with a fountain pen

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a notebook with specific dimensions and qualities that so far I haven't been able to find anywhere. I'm probably gonna pour out my entire life story but please do me a solid and hear me out.
In my next notebook I'm planning to map out and document my life for the coming 6 to 12 months, literally writing the book of my life with the odd doodle or chart. For this reason I'm looking for a larger size, high page count notebook. I've used A5 notebooks my whole life, but I'm planning to upsize to B5 if possible, to add some heft and make it feel more like a book. Additionally I'm looking for something with a load of pages, 400, 500 maybe more, would be ideal. In terms of paper quality I'm looking for something ideally at least 80gsm, blank, low transparency, as I like to write fairly densely and with a medium nib fountain pen that writes quite wet.
To give you an idea of where I'm coming from here's what I have tried in the past and what I liked/disliked about them:
Based on what I've tried so far, my ideal notebook would be as follows (possible compromises in brackets):
Finally, here's what I've found so far and am actually considering:
So my sincere question to the community is, do you know of any other notebook brands that could suit my needs, what's your experience with them if any, and where I might order for quick EU delivery? Any comments or help is much appreciated, and thank you for reading!

I’ll start my dad in the early days of Amazon bought a family bundle of prime. This was 5 people can get prime delivery for the price of 1 so absolute bargain. They realised that it was a bargain so stopped doing, let me say my dad wasn’t happy when he went renew. Long story short he complained and managed to keep all 5 of us on prime delivery for £80 a year on 12th year now 🤣.
Next one I got caught short inbetween cars so a mate offers me his zafira for £500 was a shed but a good runner so yeah that will do. This is my 3rd year with car been wrote off and looked a bit battered but runs like a dream I do 300 mile a week in it srill going strong. Might be let down this year on MOT but can’t grumble £500 and done 40k since.

2024.05.18 13:09 Wild-Wishbone7251 I (25M) am an avoidant. Was my partner (33F) also an avoidant?

I didn't know what fearful avoidant was until very recently. I check every single box, and I had no idea I was doing this to her. As a result of my family ethos to emotional expression and bullying when I was a kid, I bury my emotions deep, I don't trust a single person, and as a result, I expect the worst from people and assume most want to take something from me, make a fool out of me, and that I probably deserve it if I indulge them because I'm an unintelligent creep. I thought pulling away was helping her, assuming because of my avoidant low self-esteem that she didn't like me anymore or that I made her uncomfortable. She changed her pics in Hinge and was cold after an awkward sexual experience, which was the last time I ever saw her. I lied about pulling away from her on social, so that is why she dumped me. I removed her from apps because seeing her pictures changed hurt me, and a message I sent was undelivered all night like she blocked me, but then I lied I was removing bots and accidentally removed her. I understand now why this was so wrong. This was right at the peak of our relationship. On the other hand, at the end of almost every date, she said she would "let me know" if she was free and I would always initiate the next text several days or even a week later. I. We were about to have sex after dating for three months or so and she said she wasn't ready for a relationship, but then on the breakup call referred to our relationship. I opened up about some mental health issues and she went super quiet and said she didn't want to be responsible. She wouldn't see me in person and wouldn't call again, but offered to be friends. Through the whole relationship, I felt like I was being broken up with each week, because I would be afraid to contact her, risking making her uncomfortable and losing her, and she would almost never contact me. I don't know what the fuck happened, but if we're both fearful avoidant, I'm way more than she was. At least now I know. We haven't talked in 1.5 months, and all I want to do is reach out and to ask if she is ok and that she was and still is valued despite what I did. I'd do anything to get her back because I fell so hard for her. But I loved her and she is a wonderful person, and I feel like absolute scum to hurt someone I loved so much, and I just want her to know that despite my pulling away and lying, I never cared for anyone in the way I cared for her and still do. I only did the things I did because I just wanted so bad not to lose her. Please help me understand what to do.

2024.05.18 13:06 lisannevdl Seeking advice on how to let down a volunteer easy

I have developed free online community that requires quite a bit of work to keep running smoothly. To ensure I'm able to focus most of my time (which is free time, I work a normal 9-5 elsewhere) on developing new features I have selected mods to help me with managing this. These mods are all members of our community that love the product and want to see it grow, so enjoy helping out in their spare time to help it succeed. They are all volunteer and only get small perks that we also give to those supporting us on Patreon, and this is absolutely amazing.
I have one mod that hasn't really been pulling their weight. I had a talk with them at the start of this year to kind of gauge their availability and see if I could maybe do something to facilitate them better, or see if there is another focus they'd rather have. They didn't really want to but ensured me that they would try to chip in more. They also mentioned that what they enjoyed doing the most is just talking over new features with me and helping with the direction of the platform.
Fast forward a couple months later and things haven't really improved. There's been a point I've asked the mods to be more focussed on tackling specific tasks and everyone has done so but he's not really helped out more than a few minutes over the past few months.
I find it really hard to figure out how to handle this. I completely understand that it is a voluntary role and am extremely grateful for any help I get, but it is also not fair to the other mods and the community that we have a mod that doesn't really help out much but does get the perks and recognition of being a mod. We're also not a huge community so our mod team isn't that big either, so I'd rather bring in someone else that can devote more time to help out.
I appreciate the help in suggestions/discussions that he does provide, but it's not really something we need a mod for. I'm very in touch with our community and take suggestions from everywhere to improve the product. So what he enjoys doing most isn't really helping me with saving me time at all.
I need some advice on how to handle this situation. I only talk to them online (no voice chat). I really want to keep a positive relationship with them because they are a valued member of the community, I'm extremely thankful for all the help they've provided, and I feel really bad for basically wanting to "fire" them for a voluntary job. But I do want to make it clear that it's not really working out like this, it's not fair to the rest who consistently dedicate their time and we'd like to have the room to bring someone in that can be more available.

2024.05.18 13:02 ailawllc The Right to Due Process of Law: A Pillar of Justice ⚖️

The Right to Due Process of Law: A Pillar of Justice ⚖️
The Right to Due Process of Law
The right to due process of law is a fundamental principle enshrined in the constitutions of many democratic nations. This principle ensures that all legal proceedings will be fair and that individuals will be given notice and an opportunity to be heard before any government action affecting their rights is taken. In the United States, the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution explicitly guarantee due process, providing a crucial safeguard against arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property.
Historical Background and Constitutional Basis
The concept of due process has deep historical roots, tracing back to the Magna Carta of 1215, which established the principle that the king could not deprive a free man of his rights without lawful judgment. In the U.S., the Fifth Amendment (ratified in 1791) applies this principle to the federal government, stating that "No person shall... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." The Fourteenth Amendment (ratified in 1868) extends this protection to actions by state governments.
Substantive and Procedural Due Process ⚖️🛡️
Due process encompasses two main components: substantive due process and procedural due process.
  1. Substantive Due Process: This aspect protects individuals from government actions that are not related to any legitimate government interest or that are arbitrary and unreasonable. Substantive due process has been invoked in cases involving fundamental rights such as privacy, marriage, and bodily autonomy. A landmark case illustrating substantive due process is Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), where the Supreme Court recognized the right to marital privacy, striking down a state law that prohibited the use of contraceptives.
  2. Procedural Due Process: This aspect ensures that the government follows fair procedures before depriving an individual of life, liberty, or property. Procedural due process involves the right to receive notice of legal action, the right to a fair hearing, and the right to appeal. Goldberg v. Kelly (1970) is a seminal case in this regard, where the Supreme Court held that individuals receiving welfare benefits must be given an evidentiary hearing before those benefits can be terminated.
Key Doctrines and Case Law 📚
Several doctrines and cases have shaped the understanding and application of due process over time.
  1. The Mathews v. Eldridge Balancing Test: In Mathews v. Eldridge (1976), the Supreme Court established a three-part test to determine what procedural protections are required by due process. This test considers:
  • The private interest affected by the government action.
  • The risk of erroneous deprivation of such interest through the procedures used and the probable value of additional or substitute procedural safeguards.
  • The government's interest, including the function involved and the fiscal and administrative burdens that additional or substitute procedural requirements would entail.
  1. Incorporation Doctrine: The doctrine of incorporation, through which the Supreme Court has applied most of the Bill of Rights to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause, is crucial in extending due process protections. For example, in Mapp v. Ohio (1961), the Court held that the exclusionary rule, which prohibits illegally obtained evidence from being used in court, applies to the states.
  2. Loving v. Virginia (1967): This case is a hallmark of substantive due process and equal protection. The Supreme Court struck down Virginia's anti-miscegenation laws, declaring that the freedom to marry is a fundamental right protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
  3. Roe v. Wade (1973): This landmark decision recognized a woman's right to choose to have an abortion as part of the right to privacy under substantive due process. Although recent cases have revisited and altered the framework established by Roe, its impact on the due process jurisprudence remains significant.
Contemporary Issues and Challenges 🌐
The right to due process continues to evolve, facing new challenges and interpretations in contemporary society. Issues such as digital privacy, due process rights of non-citizens, and the procedural fairness in administrative actions remain at the forefront of legal debates. The principles established in foundational cases provide a framework, but courts constantly adapt due process protections to address the complexities of modern governance and technology.
Conclusion 🏛️
The right to due process of law is a cornerstone of the justice system, ensuring fairness and preventing arbitrary government actions. Through a rich tapestry of case law and doctrines, due process continues to protect fundamental rights and maintain the balance between individual freedoms and governmental power. As society progresses, the dynamic interpretation and application of due process principles will remain essential in safeguarding the rights and liberties of all individuals.

2024.05.18 12:56 heatherbutsadder Advise on high SDMA reading - should I get a second opinion?

Advise on high SDMA reading - should I get a second opinion?
Hi everyone! Does anyone have experience dealing with high SDMA values in their labs and can offer insight on the following situation:?
Upon completing my dog’s annual blood test the vet said he came back with a higher than normal SDMA which is an early indicator for kidney problems. The vet advised the following precautions so we’ve followed their advise but I’m looking for a second opinion following their latest response…
1) After the initial higher SDMA value (he was at .16) came back, the vet scheduled a urinalysis. 2) The first urinalysis came back and the vet said his urine is “too diluted” for the first pee of the day - usually the level is 1.030 and he came in at 1.015 so they asked us to do a larger blood panel 3) We did the larger blood panel and all his results came back fully normal. SDMA completely back to normal (back at .13). The vet wasn’t satisfied with this so he ordered a second urinalysis. 4) The second urinalysis just came back and his dillution level is 1.017 which he’s saying is still high dillution. 5) Now he is advising to do a cystocentesis where they insert a needle into his bladder to collect a urine sample.
My dog is 4 years old and perfectly healthy - he’s very active so he has always drank a lot of water and I’m not noticing hes drinking more than usual. He drinks throughout the day but never overnight. Or peeing more than usual. I don’t want to put my dog under stress and an invasive procedure unless absolutely necessary.
Thanks in advance!

2024.05.18 12:42 tristanfinn Old Genocide Joe Has Got to Go! – by Philip Giraldi – 17 May 2024

https://xenagoguevicene.wordpress.com/2024/05/18/old-genocide-joe-has-got-to-go-by-philip-giraldi-17-may-2024/
Embracing Netanyahu does not constitute a foreign policy
It is extremely difficult to discern what might be the thinking behind the clueless President Joe Biden and his Blinken-Austin-Mayorkas foreign-policy-plus national security team. Or rather, the problem is that there does not appear to be any thinking about it at all if one measures it by what benefits it brings to the American people. It all actually seems to derive from a desire to construct a narrative that will win the presidential election coming up in November, which will fortunately be run against a deeply flawed GOP candidate named Donald J. Trump. But look at what is on the Biden record: the country’s southern border with Mexico is a porous as a Swiss cheese, allowing literally millions of illegal immigrants into the USA since Biden took office; Washington is both de facto and de jure simultaneously fighting and losing two unnecessary wars involving nuclear powers which has cost a nearly bankrupt Treasury well into the hundreds of billions of dollars; and the White House is needlessly sanctioning non-hostile competitors like China while also making illegal popular social media sites like TikTok which have committed the sin of reporting and disseminating accurate narratives about good old “best friend and closest ally” Israel. Predictably, neither of the assertions about the value of the Jewish state is true, nor is it a democracy, but who cares when you’re having fun shooting people and spending someone else’s money?
Oh, and just try to exercise your first amendment free speech rights by demonstrating against Israel’s slaughter of upwards of 40,000 Palestinian civilians using US provided weapons and you will be hit on the head by a cop, possibly arrested, and even expelled from college! If you want to see where this is all going, check out reports of the recent FBI detention and interrogation of distinguished Israeli historian Ilan Pappe seeking to enter the US through the Detroit International Airport. Pappe is a critic of the Netanyahu government and of US policy so he was held, questioned in detailed about his contacts, and had his phone copied before being allowed to proceed. Meanwhile, a group of top federal judges have signed a letter stating that they will strike back against the demonstrating students by refusing to hire any graduates of Columbia University Law School as law clerks. And there even is a bill currently before Congress that would empower the government to label the foreign protesters “antisemites and terrorism supporters” and deport them, with some going to Gaza with the expectation that they would be killed, possibly by the mighty Israel Defense Forces (IDF)! It would be a startling new development to punish those whose crime consists mostly of trespass even given the rather loose ethical boundaries established by the war on terror and the Antisemitism Awareness Act! Or indeed one might follow the Senatorial route led by a chirping Lindsey Graham who recommends dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza to kill everyone who has survived the Israeli onslaught. The area then might be developed after the radiation dies down for those splendid seaside villas for Jews only suggested by the esteemed Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner.
To be sure, Joe sometimes mumbles something that might just be viewed positively, like his recent blocking on humanitarian grounds of a consignment of bunker buster bombs on their way to Israel due to Benjamin Netanyahu’s insistence that, no matter what, he would invade Rafah to completely destroy Hamas and whoever else might happen to get in his way. Joe predictably reversed that decision last Tuesday, approving a $1 billion supply of munitions after he came under pressure from the Israelis and their many friends in the US, to include a host of Israel-loving GOP congressmen who have carried their fight on behalf of the Jewish state to The Hague, where the International Criminal Court (ICC) is being directly threatened with American wrath lest it try to punish Israeli leaders for their genocide in Gaza. As Bill Astore put it “Last week, President Biden appeared to have strapped on a temporary spine in delaying shipments of ‘offensive’ weaponry to Israel for its murderous invasion of Rafah in Gaza. That spine had a short duration as Biden announced [Tuesday] renewed shipments of tank and mortar rounds to Israel.” Congress has also gotten into the game with the GOP controlled House of Representatives having passed a bill that would compel the White House to continue all arms shipments to Israel. Joe might also be thinking of political contributions, as American Jews donate the majority of Democratic Party funding, as well guaranteeing a friendly media in his campaign as they dominate both the news and the entertainment industries. See, Joe can figure some things out all by himself every once in a while!
Here’s the problem with Joe, apart from the roughly $12 million in gift-donations from Jewish/Israeli sources that he has obtained in his political career. His tactical thinking does not extend beyond his personal interests, to include his corrupt children, a trait very much like that which is possessed by his good buddy Netanyahu who is facing corruption charges of his own in Israel. Joe believes he is much cleverer than he actually is and thinks that an occasional mild verbal criticism of the Israeli behavior will convince his target audience of voters that he really is concerned about the continuing death toll in Gaza, where the Israelis have already been taking initial steps in their attack on Rafah by using their tanks to penetrate into the targeted zone to destroy and kill.
And as for the reported completion and initial functioning of the floating pier connected to Gaza constructed by US military engineers, it will not dramatically change reality on the ground even though Biden is claiming that it will enable the entry of much needed food and medical aid. Israel will still “security” control what is allowed to enter into Gaza proper while Netanyahu is seeing the pier as a bridge to nowhere, usable primarily to export excess Palestinians to foreign lands that are either willing or unwilling to accept them. And its existence creates some interesting possibilities. As it presumably will be logistically supported on the pier itself by US-based personnel, Netanyahu might well be tempted to stage a false flag attack blamed on Hamas to kill a few Americans and lock Biden into Israel’s right-wing Gaza policies from now on. Bear in mind that, in reality, Biden could care less if all the Palestinians might be “disappeared” just as he would like to see any and all critics of Israel be subjected to the harshest punishments, including prison and denial of basic rights as well as being stripped of government benefits. He has called the protesters “lawbreakers” and spreaders of “chaos” and congress is currently investigating the alleged “subversive organizers” of the “anti-Israel terrorists.”
Biden and company, as well as Trump, who is advising the Israeli government to “finish the job” with the Palestinians, clearly have no actual red lines that must not be crossed when it comes to Israel. The war of extermination of the Gazans has been accompanied by a more hidden war being conducted by the Jewish settlers on the West Bank, which has been largely under Israeli occupation since 1967. The frequently armed settlers have been attacking unarmed Palestinians, destroying their homes and businesses, ruining their crops and vineyards, and even killing them on occasion. Israeli police and army standing by do nothing to stop the fun and even frequently participate themselves by arresting and beating Palestinians who are guilty only of being Palestinian. Hundreds of Palestinians have been arrested without charges apart from “preventive detention” since the troubles began in October and the jails are overflowing. The clear intention, verbalized without any shame by senior Israeli government officials like Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, is to produce a Greater Israel cleansed of Arabs. And Biden, who pretends to favor a two-state solution to the unrest, helps the process along by vetoing UN resolutions that would help create separate sovereignty for Palestine.
Some of the most outrageous recent developments have been the settlers’ interfering with shipments of food and medicines entering into Gaza, a point that a faux-sympathetic Biden stresses repeatedly when pontificating regarding bringing aid to the starving people who are trapped with nowhere to go inside the enclave. The Israel clampdown even includes the Mediterranean Sea being blocked off by the Israeli navy which shoots any desperate Gazans who try to go close to the water so they can fish for food. In the most recent incidents, observed by the standing-by but inert Israeli army and police, truckloads of food were blocked, the drivers and aid workers removed and beaten, and the food was destroyed and burned before the trucks were treated likewise. In another incident settlers dumped huge boulders on one of the access roads to a checkpoint leading into Gaza, rendering it impassible and blocking any aid. Journalists and aid workers are meanwhile being killed by the army to prevent any reporting of what is going on while the US State Department refuses to condemn the activity. Biden called the interference with assistance convoys “outrageous” but has done nothing whatsoever about it, nor has he followed up on pledges to sanction Israelis who attack Palestinians or their property on the West Bank.
The whole problem is that Israel is a monster, an apartheid state that somehow feels it is empowered by God and the United States to kill all its neighbors and rob the American taxpayer to pay for and equip the slaughter. Israel is backed by an all-powerful US domestic lobby that includes unlimited Jewish money and activist Zionist groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) led by the hideous Jonathan Greenblatt and the venerable American Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC), both of which are now busy raising money to defeat all congress critters who have ever criticized the Jewish state. ADL and AIPAC are also linked to “that old time religion” knucklehead Christian Zionists concentrated in the Republican Party who have their Scofield Bibles firmly embedded between their ears where their brains are supposed be. A partial solution would be to make the Jewish-Zionist groups register as foreign government agents directed by Israel under the the terms of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which is exactly what they are, but that will never happen. President John F. Kennedy tried to register the predecessor group to AIPAC and many believe he paid the ultimate price for that affront as well as for his bid to stop Israel’s nuclear weapons program.
So, my fellow Americans, what should we do? Well, we should do whatever we can, which includes speaking out about how we have been sold out by our leaders and opinion makers, and we should continue to do that even knowing that they will try to silence us by destroying free speech in this country. It is all we have left and we should continue to oppose what is happening. The first step however, is to get rid of politicians like Joe and Donald, who have been completely corrupted by more than fifty years in the “system” and are totally sold out and irresponsible in their behavior. There are honest politicians and journalists out there and we just have to find them, support them and get them elected and in positions where they will be able to bring about change in how things are done in Washington! One might call it the New American Revolution to restore our rights and free us from foreign oppression!

2024.05.18 12:21 Cromar Radiant Dawn Tier List, because why not?

I finished another Radiant Dawn run on the hardest difficulty and felt the bug to talk about tier listing again. Thanks for indulging me. My list:
https://i.imgur.com/8d4aPNg.png
Some commentary, from worst to best.
F Tier:
Lyre - This character has literally nothing going for her. Lyre has terrible bases, the worst class in the game, bad growths, and no endgame potential beyond being a mediocre filler unit. I can't imagine a worse character in Fire Emblem. Maybe Sophia. Even if you wanted to do an all-Laguz run, she can't crack the top 10. She isn't even force deployed on any maps. I cannot think of a single positive thing to say about Lyre.
Fiona - With even worse bases than Lyre and a baffling availability schedule, Fiona should be the worst unit in the game, but at least her class is solid. Female Silver Knight has bad caps overall, but good weapon types, speed, and a top-tier mastery talent. If you can endure the grind, you can make a unit with real contributions in the endgame. I feel like the game designers hate this unit, though; they make her arrive in a map themed around rescuing, but don't even let you recruit her to do any rescuing. The very next map is indoors. After that, we go to a swamp which is once again themed around rescuing, but Fiona isn't even available! After that? Another indoor map! Then another swamp! Then more cliffs! 3-13 is considered an indoor map and penalizes horse units! Literally the first map with wide open spaces to take advantage of cavalry classes that allows you to deploy Fiona is in Part 4. Her class level and bases are even bugged (allegedly). I can't believe how this game is engineered to ruin Fiona, and it's a miracle that she isn't the worst unit in the entire game.
Kyza - While he can be crafted into a tolerable lategame unit (better than many on this list who rank higher), there just isn't any reason to do so. He's got a terrible class (only cat laguz are worse), bad bases, and joins in a big pile of units that are a hundred times better at everything he can do. Need a tank? You've already got Brom and Gatrie on the team, and they don't untransform halfway through enemy phase. Kyza has the crown for most forgettable, pointless unit, but at least if you do train him for the experience, you get a unit that can kind of do something late game.
Makalov - Easily the worst of all cav units, any chance Makalov has to be good late game is betrayed by his poor class caps. He nearly escaped F tier by having a few useful turns in Part 2, but after some consideration, I honestly think he's more of a liability than helpful. The only units he can reliably hurt in Geoffrey's Charge are the ones that give you bexp if you spare them. I don't even like putting out fires with him; let the yellow units do it, so they don't run off and get themselves killed. Makalov is just a trainwreck of a character. At least he gets Sol.
Pelleas - As a secret character with a completely unique weapon type, you'd think unlocking him gets you access to some outstanding lategame growth unit with a big payoff for all your hard work. Nope. You get the worst mage in the game instead. While I give him a glimmer of usefulness for the potential to learn staves, you have to invest heavily in him to get there and it's just pointless when even Tormod can do the same thing for cheaper. I can't imagine a run where I'm relying on Pelleas as my 12th string healer for the tower. If you haven't really looked into the numbers, and you decide one day "I'm doing a Pelleas run!" you're going to find his bases shocking. What were they thinking here?
D Tier:
Sephiran - Kind of an easter egg at the end of the game, I considered not rating him at all (like the Burger King), but eh, he contributes something against Ashera I guess. Can't say much more here. Maybe, in an ironman, if you've lost all your non-Micaiah staffbots, you'll be glad when he joins? For barely squeezing out a microniche he escapes F tier.
Sanaki - Maybe I'm underrating her, but I just don't see the point. She needs heavy investment (particularly in seraph robes) to be able to survive the bosses of the tower. When she joins, she's just another subpar mage who doesn't even have the decency to learn staves. Her one saving grace is that she doesn't count against your 10 tower selections, so if you slap a paragon on her and get her battle ready, she can bless Meteor or something and make some contributions. The resources (including combat xp) you pour into her are better used on your real tower units.
Astrid - I considered dumping her in F tier. What the heck happened to the star paragon unit of Path of Radiance? Somehow, she's turned into a turd of a growth unit with atrocious bases, mediocre growths, and wacky availability. I only pulled her out of the gutter because of her class, and even with really awful strength and defense caps, she can turn into a solid tower unit. I've used her before and found she was legitimately not a waste of space as early as 4-1, where she was popping falco knights. I could see her be a good bird sniper in the Izuka map. Still, like all bad growth units, she's just not worth the effort.
Kurthnaga - While he can be fun to train, again, why? He provides the least useful of all dragon auras and just takes XP from your many units who still need it. Maybe make a Kurth juggernaut once for the experience, and then never again. If he joined at the start of Part 4, I can imagine him getting boosted a couple tiers, but nah, you can't be picking up new projects this late in the game.
Meg - Often times called the worst unit in the game, she is...somewhat underrated... as a midgame tank. A project unit for sure, and not worth it, but Meg does grow into a strong unit around 1-E and for all of Part 3. She can solo Ragnell Ike and the field of laguz in 3-13 pretty easily. You've got better options for that, but I do recommend experiencing a Meg run once just to see that it can be done. Ultimately, though, Meg can't escape D tier because her awful class caps betray her in the end, and her best attribute (speed) gets cut off at the knees.
Vika - The Tormod Squad all suffer from the availability curse, but Vika has it worst, since she desperately needs training to be viable at all. As if laguz weren't bad enough already, they can't take Discipline or upgrade weapons by any means other than the long, dark strike rank grind, and Vika has no time at all to do it. That leaves only her joining maps to recommend her, and she can do things like poke-canto or rescue villagers in the swamp, so that's something. If you force yourself to train her, she does gain incredible speed, but hitting twice for 0 isn't impressive. Her class also has cat-like gauge drain, and she can't gain any experience in part 1 due to bizarre laguz xp math, leaving Vika no angles to improve.
Stefan - Thrown in at the end like an afterthought, Stefan is (I would argue) the worst of all the Tower Gotohs, that is, the units that just join at the very end to make sure you have high level units for the tower. With bad luck and a fairly bad class, the only reason I can recommend bringing Stefan is if you want an Alondite unit and you don't like Renning for some reason. He just doesn't serve any purpose. He even joins in a map that locks down his movement. Take his sword and bench him.
Ena/Gareth - I put them together because they fill the same role: buffing your units to fight Ashera. While Gareth is legendary for getting wrecked by magic, Ena is arguably worse, as Ashera's physical attack can kill her too. While that's not nothing, I can't justify taking someone out of D tier when their entire purpose is to help a faster clear in one map, and you don't even really need them.
C tier:
Tauroneo - I had a hard time rating Big T. He pops in to dominate just a couple of chapters before disappearing until part 4. He's the worst Marshall, but gets boosted a tier over Meg because of his efforts in part 1. Marshall is a pretty bad class, but if you want one anyway, you've got two much better options that have tons of availability, so don't bother.
Heather - In a game that doesn't care much about thiefy stuff, Heather just doesn't have a key role to fill. She gets you a couple of stat boosters, which you can promptly feed to your units that cap everything anyway. I'll give her a leg up out of the worst tiers because she can rescue you in Oliver's Mansion if you ran out of chest keys, and the Fortify Staff is really, really good.
Muarim - Unlike Vika, he dominates his few part 1 maps, and he's still viable in Part 4 with his bases. Not bad! Unfortunately, with so little time to train him, you really have to invest heavily to get him tower-ready, and why bother? He's got an awful class and competes with much better units. I suppose he gets a slot in an all-laguz run.
Tormod - He kills that obnoxious wyvern rider on the swamp map. I give him a whole tier for that, because man, that thing is annoying. Beyond that, he's helpful for several part 1 maps, and he can be trained up to use staves for the tower.
Leonardo - The worst member of a great class, Leonardo will absolutely wreck with Double Bow, but the road to get there is harrowing. Only his prf bow's speed boost gets him out of D tier. Maybe even F. He's just such a liability for so long that I can't recommend him.
Ilyana - Strange that in a game where availability is so restricted, the number one most available character is so bad! She was great in PoR, too, but thunder magic has been substantially nerfed. I give her a lot of credit for her join map, which is arguably the hardest map in the game, and if you really work hard to level her, she gets staves with an excellent magic score. As with most units this far down, though, she's just outclassed by all the better options who do the same thing, and you don't need that many backup staff units.
Ranulf - Force deployed for what feels like a dozen chapters, Ranulf mostly hangs around to shove people and occasionally do some damage. He's got the worst class in the game, but unlike Lyre, has great bases that give him a nice little midgame role and then not much else. If you manage to feed him experience in Part 4, he's somewhat endgame viable, as long as you don't have much competition for the laguz gem.
Nealuchi - Like Ranulf, the old bird has a bright spot in the middle of the game where he's got some utility, but is best ditched when his time is up. I find him essential for 2-P and 2-1, a good contributor for 2-E, and then...well, that's a C tier unit.
Kieran - Bummer that he's so reduced here versus PoR, but at least his class gets better caps than most cavs, and he's viable as Geoffrey's sidekick for those odd chapters in Part 2/3. I can't hate him. He's easy to train and turns into a viable, if underwhelming, tower unit, but joining Ike's crew so late in Part 3 hurts him, as he is immediately outclassed by like two dozen people that you've been training for ages.
Lucia - She gets a big boost for being essential for 2-1 and viable in Part 4. If I was going to train a bad trueblade, I'm picking her over Stefan at least, but her lack of availability and bad class push her to the middle tiers.
Renning - An unfairly hated tower gotoh, Renning is your best freebie Alondite user, and has tolerable enough bases to hang out and contribute with your actual good units. He's just mediocre compared to anyone you've actually built up yourself, and he's clearly worse than Giffca and the royals. Many people do their ironmans with all royals banned for the challenge, and if that's you, Renning suddenly becomes a valuable backup unit that I would maybe bump another tier. As-is, he's just mid.
Volke - Ditto what I said for Renning, except he uses the Baselard instead, doubles auras without help, and can instakill people. I usually take Stillness off and give it to Micaiah, though, so his durability is a problem. Volke is like a super-trueblade and worth considering if you are low on viable tower units.
Giffca/Mufasa - The lion king and his shadow are virtually the same unit, except that Giffca has to use a laguz gem to transform for some reason (Guess he was borrowing his boss's formshift scroll last game?). I usually refuse to use them on principle, but I can't count that against them. They absolutely wreck the Tower but serve no other purpose. As the best of the Tower Gotohs, I can't justify higher than C.
Nasir - The best of the dragon auras, Nasir enables some aura one-rounding strategies that make a big difference. Still, we're talking about one dang map. When I made this I struggled with whether or not he should be down with Gareth and Ena, but I'm giving him a lot of credit for his special aura and his invincibility versus magic.
Sigrun/Tanith - The lesser two of the three Seraph Knights, they have one of the best classes in the game, but mediocre bases and growths. There's only one Wishblade, unfortunately, and while Seraph Knight is the best class to use it, that just means there's no reason to bring multiple of them unless you want to goof off with triangle attack. If Marcia turned out poor or you didn't use her, I recommend grabbing Sigrun (higher base level) for the Wishblade and training her up in Part 4. If you aren't training these units, they still get credit for flying utility in the desert.
Ulki/Janaff - Can't decide which of the twins are better here. With insane bases and no xp gain at all, these guys show up in part 3 to help shove people and generally help out when someone is in trouble. While they stay viable to the end (to the delight of the zero percent growth community), I don't get too excited by their lategame contributions. The laguz gauge is their Achilles Heel in part 3; I just can't justify relying on them.
Bastian/Oliver - My hottest take of this tier list, I have argued for a long time that Oliver is underrated as your Renault/Yoder character; that is, your staffbot gotoh who fills in to rescue ironmans. Bastian serves the same role, but slightly better. If your Micaiah is bad or untrained and you haven't leveled any of the project mages, these guys are your strongest staff users.
Devdan - Just as forgettable here as in Path of Radiance, Devdan suffers from bad bases and availability, and as the worst member of a meh class, there's just no reason to invest in him. I give him a lot of credit for major contributions in two key chapters without being a liability, and if you do train him, his superior caps make him arguably better than Kieran in lategame. Oh, and in part 3, he can climb that one ledge to keep it open. That's...something.
Calill - Helping out on a couple more midgame maps than Devdan, Calill is never good, but she can chip a bit here or there and usually isn't a liability. Anyone who can do anything in Elincia's Gambit gets a push in my book. If you do wind up making good use of her and slap on a crown, she's another backup staff unit with okay stats.
Lethe/Murderkaiser - The cat and tiger duo once again shows up midgame with good stats, bad growths, and a spot waiting for them on the bench. I find that they make a great contribution in part 2, remain viable in part 3, and...well, they exist in part 4 I guess. Mordecai can be built into a viable tank thanks to having vastly more time to grow compared to Muarim, and better everything compared to Kyza. Lethe has dramatically better strength than her idiot sister. Too bad the bad classes keep them out of the good tiers.
B tier:
Edward - We're getting out of the riffraff and into some viable units. While Edward is one of the weaker Dawn Brigade growth options, he is super helpful in numerous key early chapters where you desperately need it, and he can grow into a complete powerhouse. Just watch his growths as he naturally levels throughout part 1, and if he fails to pop off, bench him. If he crushes those strength and defense growths, though, he's an excellent choice for a Part 3 carry, as he's on the shortlist of units who can solo 3-13 - not the best one, but much easier to level than Meg, for example. His luck sword is I guess the worst of the DB prf weapons, but it's still decent for a long time, before you toss it for Alondite. If he didn't fall off in late part 1, he'd be A tier. Also, he's got a bad class and competes with at least one or two better units for that precious Alondite.
Soren - With magic nerfed in this game, Soren has no chance of breaking into the highest tiers, but he sure tries. I'd argue he is the best mage in the game. He's not too difficult to train, hits high magic numbers, and turns into the game's best staffbot (arguably) by endgame. While I'd rather bring a free Bastian than a high effort Soren to the tower, Ike's BFF gets a big boost from his super high availability. I never feel like he's a drag on the party.
Rhys - Like Soren, but you don't need to wait for staves, alright, Rhys probably snatches the prize of lategame staffbot from Soren, but not by much. He's hurt by awful physicals, which can make him seem like a liability, but your list of part 3 staff units is sparse, so he's going to contribute a lot every run, no matter what you have planned for him.
Mist - She's much weaker than Rhys in every way, but when she promotes, she gets Canto, which is wonderful for a frail unit. While Florete is bugged (or sucks by design, depending on who you ask) and there is no Sonic Sword, Mist is still viable as a mobile healer who won't let you down through the entire game. I know I keep saying different people are the "best lategame staffbot" but I swear this is the last one, it's really Mist.
Zihark/Volug - I paired them for nearly identical availability and the legendary earth/earth affinity, which gives them a niche in certain difficult part 3 maps where their contributions are invaluable. Neither character scales well into endgame (there are better options for trueblade) and they aren't invincible like Big T, but at least they show up for work. Use them as Jeigans in part 1 and tanks in part 3, then say goodbye.
Micaiah - Often called the worst lord in the game, she...probably deserves it. Oh no, I'm about to call her the actual best staffbot, aren't I? No, she's difficult to raise up due to being such a frail liability all game and having forced promotions. She gets big credit for a couple key Thani nukes early game, and she's a force deployed physics bot from 3-13 onward. Have I overrated her? Maybe, but I like healers.
Geoffrey - With a couple chapters designed to make him look good, Geoffrey is essential to clear the game, but his class caps keep him from getting into the elite levels. I find that he levels quickly in part 4 (without paragon, even) and holds his own. I really wish he joined with Kieran and the others. By endgame, he's a viable filler unit.
Nolan - A godsend in the early chapters, the Dawn Brigade would have died in the cradle without Nolan. He gets an amazing prf weapon and is easily viable as a part 3 carry, but I find him inadequate to solo 3-13 or reliably fight Ike. His strength and defense growth is just too poor, and he lacks the avoid to make up for it. Still, he has the best beorc class caps in the game, and after being reliable and useful for so long, you can reward him with careful bexp abuse to make sure he can slam the tower bosses with 62 attack power. There's something satisfying about seeing a human inflict lion-like damage to gods.
Laura - I always see her at the bottom of tier lists, but your only healer in part 1 (Micaiah doesn't count) deserves some love. She's a huge liability on the field, but think about how much harder Part 1 gets if she dies. She stays viable in part 3 (I usually savior backpack her with somebody) and is, yes, another top tier lategame staffbot. For being an essential unit for so long, and for having endgame potential, I can't see lower than B tier.
Simba - The lion prince needs paragon and some effort to get rolling, but boy does he! As an acceptable alternative to those cheating royal laguz, Skrimir is just an unstoppable powerhouse who can solo entire maps in part 4 if you let him. Until the white dragons show up, Skrimir is never in danger from anything other than his own stupid laguz gauge, which is why he's not in A tier. If you haven't tried slapping paragon and adept on Skrimir and letting him eat all of 4-P, try it once, it's hilarious.
Royal Trio - I put Nailah ahead of the bird brains for her availability, but they all have the same role: hold your hand through part 4. Tibarn can actually die to the crossbow guy in 4-2, which makes me laugh, and Naesala is downright mortal by comparison. I like to leave Pass on Nailah from part 1 and give her chest keys for Oliver's Mansion. All of these units are insanely strong and help trivialize the tower, which is why I don't bring them.
Singing Siblings - I know, putting Rafiel lower on the list than the others is blasphemy, but he's barely around through the whole game. He's widely accepted as the best tower bird (though I prefer Reyson), but other than Oliver's Mansion, what hard missions does he help out on? Rafiels' role is to help fight dragons and gods, which is a pretty good resume, so he's up this high. Leanne wins my heart for Elincia's Gambit alone, but she also helps make the bridge and desert maps more tolerable.
Marcia - A hot take here, but Marcia has a lot of availability and a positive, if underwhelming, contribution through most of it. By lategame, she turns into an excellent flier (Seraph Knights are truly amazing) and is, in my opinion, the single best Wishblade candidate in the entire game. Marcia never crushes this game like she does Path of Radiance, but I'm here for her.
Boyd - Notoriously tough to get rolling, Boyd has those insane Reaver caps and a lot of time to reach them. While he's just a project unit in part 3, he does crest that hill eventually and turn into a complete wrecking ball who trivializes the rest of the game. He easily hits 40 strength and isn't that tough to train up to 35 speed with bexp. He's the game's best Urvan user (as his caps are easier to hit than Nolan) and I only don't put him higher because it's a bit of a struggle to get him going.
A tier:
Rolf - People are going to lose their minds over this one. I'm always astonished how many people don't know that Rolf has 75% strength growth! Snipers are easy to level and have a great payoff, meaning that even if Shinon wins your double bow, you'll never regret bringing a second killer deadeye through the whole game. Imagine if Leonardo had Rolf's growths. Little bro is like Dmitri, but in the Wii era. Don't sleep on Rolf. He's amazing.
Nephenee - Sometimes overrated, sometimes underrated, Nephenee has top notch availability and is an essential unit for several chapters, and while she can get lost in the Greil Mercs spam, she quickly turns into a stellar well-rounded infantry unit who can carry the game. She's never bad and turns into another excellent Wishblade user, who I only put below Marcia for the tower due to lack of flying/canto. Due to high availability and never needing particular training attention, though, Nephenee skirts into the top tiers.
Mia - Unlike Path of Radiance, Mia starts viable and quickly takes off like a rocket, turning into your best Trueblade. Lacking only one strength in her final caps versus Edward, she's easier to level and, imo, your best overall Alondite unit. Because she is around so long and always helpful, she gets a bump.
Brom/Gatrie - Brom almost gets the nod for being an essential unit for so Part 2, but his falloff is noticeable, and his endgame potential as a Marshall is worse than, say, Nephenee. Gatrie picks up that slack and remains as one of your best Greil Mercs for the rest of the game. I could see someone valuing Brom's early contributions more and swapping this order. Both units suffer from the usual Marshall problems: bad caps, bad movement, competing with far better units for the best items.
Titania - The stalwart ride-or-die arch-paladin of Tellius, Titania doesn't carry hard like she does in the previous game, but she's immediately dominant and stays that way virtually forever. She has reasonable class caps (compared to other cavs, anyway) and is fine to bring to the tower, but you will notice a dropoff. Regardless of tower viability, she's so damn strong for so long that I can't rank her any lower.
Oscar - While he starts weak and is imprisoned by truly awful tier 2 caps, Oscar is still solid and provides that lovely earth affinity through a ton of chapters. Once he breaks into tier 3, he's immediately one of your best units, and stays that way for a long time. I almost rated Titania higher, but I think Oscar surpasses her and is a candidate for an early crown. If not for those tier 2 caps, he'd be S tier.
Shinon - Embarrassed by the "9 strength incident" in Path of Radiance, Shinon hit the gym and turned into a powerhouse from the moment he joins until the end of the game. He's never not great, and he only gets better as he gets his outstanding third tier caps and SS rank weapon. While he usually needs bexp to hit str and def caps, that's more a function of the highish caps than any weaknesses in growths. Shinon is almost breaking into S tier. If he was a flying archer, he'd be the next Haar.
Aran - The wrongest opinion in all of Fire Emblem is that Aran is bad. Just wrong, wrong, wrong. Aran starts as a weak unit among numerous other weak units, is easily trainable, and quickly pops off - 75% strength growth, again! - to turn into a juggernaut that surpasses everyone except the royals. By Part 3, Aran has made the rest of the Dawn Brigade redundant, and by 3-13, he's a walking god. I always laugh when I hear commentators talk about how difficult part 3 is, then minutes later, mention how bad Aran is. Well, of course it's hard if you don't use the best unit! I only keep Aran out of S tier because of DB availability and because his class caps keep him from stomping as hard in the tower, where he rarely doubles.
S tier:
Jill - Flying utility gives her the bump into the upper echelons. Slightly harder to train than Aran, she benefits immensely from the str and def items (which are useless to Aran, who caps immediately) and turns into another juggernaut. While she stays weaker than Aran throughout most of the game, the mobility is a factor, and she grows into one of your best endgame units. If you had to average the two games together, Jill is probably the best character in Tellius. Or Titania, it's hard to say, but it's definitely a canto redhead.
Sothe - Play this game: a trickster god deletes one character from your rom, permanently. Seize squares and game over conditions get reassigned, but you now have to play the rest of the game without that unit, forever. What's the absolute worst unit to lose? I cannot think of a worse unit to lose than Sothe. Is the Dawn Brigade even possible without him? I'm sure someone has done it. After making the game playable, Sothe falls off hard, but he can be trained into a sub-par Volke if you want. I contend that Tellius literally could not be saved without him. So why isn't he the absolute top tier? Well, I guess I'm weighing the rest of the game higher, but I'm not 100% convinced that's right.
Elincia - What a glow-up from PoR! The devs nerf her in 2-P to keep it difficult, but as soon as she gets her weapon, she turns into a flying healer who also wrecks things. I think she's a lock for the tower, even if you are dedicating six tower slots to royals and lions. While a weaker staffbot than some others I mentioned, she's good enough. And she flies! Elincia is just awesome.
Reyson - Speedrunners and LTCers prefer Rafiel for a better Turn 1 against Ashera, but I like Reyson's high movement and canto, and you have laguz gems by that point. As for the rest of the game, Reyson has by far the best availability of all herons - which isn't saying much, I know. I just wish this game wasn't so weird with dancers.
Ike vs Haar for the championship - People have debated between Ike and Haar since the game came out. I put Ike 2nd because, while he carries harder with Ragnell, he's still a normal (albeit stronk) infantry swordlocked unit for a long time before then. Haar saves your bacon in Part 2 (twice) and then carries Part 3 just for fun afterwards. He also has the best boss convos in 2-P and 4-E-2. Ike gets the boss convo award in 4-P, so this most critical of category tips the scales toward Haar. The real answer is availability + domination = top of the top tier. As if Haar wasn't stupid OP enough, he gets the best beorc defense cap in the entire game, because why not? He even beats out the Marshalls on Strength! And his mastery skill is better! Honestly, what were they thinking here? While Ragnell Ike is the strongest unit in the game, Totality Ike is only the second strongest.

2024.05.18 12:21 Over-Cicada9792 Any way to send information between applets?

I built an "Aktivität" (Activity).
The activity is using to seperate applets.
I was using a function from the following example getValue() to get Value from the 1 applet into the second one.
https://www.geogebra.org/m/rdRMQKpJ
I assume because of the sandboxing update it doesnt work anymore.
Is there any way around it? I i thought selfhosting might work but i couldnt figure out how to "selfhost" the applets
Any help is very appreciated
