So I bought a xm177e1and found that the flash supressor was leaning upwards. I went to remove the allan screen holding it in place but stripped it, I tried the rubber band trick, but the screw is too small to get a band in it, I tried super glue with no luck, and I tried swapping the measurement screw used and going one size up with a hammer, how in gods name should I remove this thing?

2024.05.20 02:06 bestassinthewest 「Glass Animals」
Namesake: The indie-rock band Glass Animals Stand User: Agnes-Lucky Blue
Appearance: Glass Animals has a body made up of loosely fitting multicolor 3D shapes. The shapes altogether form the shape of a humanoid, but headless upper body. The shoulders of the stand are framed with a two-headed, purple-red crystalline snake that hangs off of them. One head is black, and the other is white. Despite the stand appearing like it's made of multiple parts, it cannot disassemble itself.
Ability: Glass Animals has the ability to generate a material with properties like non-newtonian fluids from the snake on its body.. How the material reacts to stress changes based on which snake head creates it. The black head makes material that becomes 'harder' and more viscous the more force is applied. The white head makes material that becomes 'thicker' and more difficult to pass through the more force is applied.
Glass Animals can freely manipulate the shape of the materials it creates so long as it is holding them. Once released, they will persist in that shape regardless of if Glass Animals holds them again. This allows it to create crude objects or weapons out of the material. The material Glass Animals creates will dissipate if they leave the its range.
Stats: Power: C Speed: D Range: C (11 meters) Durability: D Precision: C Potential: A
Weaknesses: Lack of force. The black-head and white-head material become softer and thinner respectively when less force is applied to them. A particularly precise or well-controlled stand could circumvent their property's threat.
Glass Animals is incredibly easier to overpower, even if it is wielding a weapon. Closing the distance allows for an easy victory against it.
Knowing which head was used to create what material makes getting around its ability even easier.

2024.05.20 02:03 mozaaz37 Debunk this: Apocalypse starts between 2025 and 2027 and Jesus returns between 2030 and 2034
Hi guys, i'm a brazilian 17 year old guy that was happy, sympathetic and caring towards others, I am catholic and I participate in Sunday school every Saturday, but since the start of the pandemic in march 2020 onwards, i suddenly became brainwashed and paranoic with Christian conspiracy theories, mainly Qanon, and end times prophecies but in 2022 it only got worse, it all started at school when my sociology teacher who coincidentally was an evangelical pastor started talking a little about the end of times/Ragnarok and my friend said that between 2023, 2024 the apocalypse will begin, or it doesn't happen anything in these years, very probably in 2025 and 2027, and i searched on youtube and i saw various evangelical channels claiming that we are at the end of times and 2030 the world will end bc in that year Jesus will come back to only save evangelical christians and will only save those who are on the Life Book and will throw everyone who's those name wasn't on Life Book burn alive on the lake of fire of the hell alongside the antichrist, false prophet and everyone who followed him and God will destroy the universe and we will be living in the New Jerusalem, and they say repent of sins because the devil exists and they insist on saying that sin and the devil exist even though this has not even been scientifically proven, such as not wearing short clothes like shorts, jeans, not getting tattoos or piercings, not eating meat of pork, prohibiting homosexuality, free will, dating during adolescence and many others, they say that we are experiencing the greatest apostasy in history, which means that people are moving away from faith and and God and ignoring the warnings about the doomsday bc the world is becoming more ''sinful'' and the love between the people has been cooled and we are living like in the antediluvian days when Noah warned about the cataclysm but people ignored, mocked and called him demented and paranoid and instead they were eating, drinking and partying until the flood came and destroyed the world. world and killed everyone, and they keep repeating this saying that this is real even though it has been proven that it never happened and that it is impossible for a storm this strong to cover the top of Mount Everest, they think they are right and scientists are wrong, because science is an ''abominable sin'' against God, They say that God is merciful but he is also wrathful and cruel against those who do not follow his commandments. and they also talk about Jesus' appearance as if it were true at that time even though it has not yet been proven. i've watched some videos of these pastors and missionaries of my country and never got their prophecies and predictions wrong, all of things that have said become true
They say that geopolitical tensions are increasing which will cause ww3, it is no wonder that countless billionaires around the world like Mark Zuckerberg are building bunkers and selling several of their assets, i saw a letter written in 1873 that a American Freemason named Albert Pike who in his letter predicted the first two world wars, and is now supposedly ''predicted correctly'' the third world war, which would begin with a conflict between Zionist Israelis and Arabs, and also they claim that this war between Israel and Iran -Hamas is also the prophecy of Gog and Magog being fulfilled, They also say that the world will enter an unprecedented global economic crisis worse than the great depression, which would increase prices absurdly and this would culminate in the greatest famine the world has ever had, surpassing the great famine of the Middle Age,
They also say that elites such as the World Economic Forum, the UN and the Bilderberg Group will launch a gigantic EMP weapon that will shut down all energy and appliances in the world, and that they will then enact global martial law that will taking citizens off the streets and homes via buses and putting them in concentration camps and killing mainly white and conservative Christian groups and burying them in FEMA coffins which will start the famous New World Order and mass depopulation through the great reset and agenda 2030 and will put an end to all cash and create an electronic currency where payment is made with the global fingerprint, which they also say will replace passports with this global biometric password, they also say that They will do away with clothes and food and will replace them with processed foods made from insects, GMOs and laboratory-grown meats and everyone will be forced to wear the same clothes and have their names changed they also say that they will install government cameras inside the houses to know if any intruder is entering the empty houses
and all of this will begin the antichrist's rise to power, he will be a powerful leader who will unite all sovereign governments into one government and people will worship him and will implant the mark of the beast, where no one will buy and sell without it and will kill everyone who does not accept the mark, which means that everyone in the cities will die, only those who go to the fields or mountains will survive, it is no wonder that they are asking to stock up on water, non-perishable food, batteries , flashlights, medicines especially ivermectin (so much so that I've seen reports of people curing themselves of COVID using this medicine and chloroquine) and radios to survive between 2025 and 2027, because according to them, there will be a pandemic 30 times more lethal than the previous one that will kill almost 400 million people in just two years and that will be the period where seal the seven-year peace agreement between Christianity, Judaism and Islam and will sacrifice a red heifer in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, where it will be destroyed in sequence to begin the construction of the third temple where the throne of the antichrist will be during the final three and a half years
They also insists that global warming is a lie bc all of these disasters that are happening such as frequent strong earthquakes which happened in turkey, morocco, japan and taiwan recently, floods that left the southern of my country almost destroyed, tornadoes and hurricanes becoming stronger and killing more people and wildfires becoming more frequently is caused by these globalists, for example, the recent wildfires that happened in hawaii, canada and chile was caused by massive lasers coming from satellites and these floods and earthquakes caused by HAARP, and the fact-checking and social media such as reuters and afp is lying bc they are owned by rothschild and george soros for example
And i'm worried to have a cancer or a fatal heart attack when i become 20 years old that they discovered that in the last years have an increase on cases of cancer and fatal heart attack on young people, and they claim that is bc of the vaccines bc they contain aborted fetuses and microchips and graphene
And they also talk about the woke agenda, where defenders of this theory claim that globalists use films, video games and series to misrepresent characters from these entertainment industries to promote progressive agendas such as LGBT, black lives matter, abortion and feminism, for example, they made Ariel from The Little Mermaid black in live-action instead in white, as a way of indoctrinating masses and grooming children to be subjected to being perverse, it's no wonder that Disney is in one of the biggest crises in its history by excessively promoting identity issues in every film they release. And it's also no wonder that the number of abortions in the world increased over the last years
What I am most afraid of is the claim that globalists have knowledge of future events that makes the masses accept the event when a certain thing happens, this is called predictive programming, for example, in many disaster and science fiction films, there is a subliminal message in numbers called ''923'', supporters of this number mean that something very bad will happen on September 23rd, but obviously nothing happens, in White Noise for example, there was a train accident in the state of Ohio and in 2023 a train derailment with toxic products occurred in the same state as the film, Black Mirror ''predicted'' several technological innovations, The Simpsons for example predicted the September 11 attacks and Trump's victory in the elections, The Matrix also predicted predicted several technological innovations, such as the redpill movement and the production of babies in uterine machines. As for the Leave the World Behind', they say that the film predicted the accident of the ship that collided with the bridge in baltimore, Lastly, the film The Knowing is incredibly identical to the plot of the biblical apocalypse, but these claims are already debunked by fact checks
And i became scared of these prophecies that have been ''fulfilled'' such as Ezekiel which mentions that Dead Sea became filled with fishes and signs in the sky and stars disappearing
i will mention some of them:
They discovered recently that the moon have some rust pigments and the sun are frequently producing giant black spots which in apocalypse 6:12-17 means that the sun became black and the moon becoming blood
The days are passing faster, which on matthew 24:22 mentions that unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.
The Euphrates River is drying up which in apocalypse mentions that the sixth angel poured his bowl over the Euphrates River and its waters dried up and released four demons who destroyed half of the population
Some Rivers and seas are becoming red, which refers to Apocalypse 16:4 that the third angel poured his bowl on rivers and seas and became red as dead blood
And I started to think that some mathematical calculations they do are simply not coincidences, they took the year the Black Death ended in 1353 with the year the WHO declared a global COVID emergency in 2019, subtracting those years would give the result in 666 (2019-1353=666 to be simpler) which alludes to the number of the beast and nd other math that they also thinks its a proof that we are at the end of times uf we use the word ''CORONA'' as a code where the alphabet is corresponding to its letter in ascending order (for example a = 1, b = 2), it would give the numbers 3, 15, 18, 15, 14, 1 will also give the number of the beast is correct if we multiply these numbers.
I'm trying to follow channels that disagree that we are in the end times and treat people with love, like the method of preterism where it states that the apocalypse happened in the year 70, but they say that this is heresy because in Matthew 24:24 it says that in the last days false prophets will emerge deceiving many people and in 2 Peter 3:3 where it says that at the end of time many will mock and disagree with the imminent Return of Jesus
i'm asked my parents and my friends to repent of your sins and believe in the Word of God, But I bothered them so much that now they don't even want to hear it,
however after all that, I started to think that these evangelical channels only preach fear in people, thinking that Jesus is going to return physically and that I have been superior all the time for no reason at all. I researched these things so much that now it appears when I search for an account on Instagram or YouTube, I would like to thank anyone who could give me some tips on how to get out of this and get rid of these pests, how i do?

2024.05.20 02:03 IGnuGnat MacBook Air 2014 is still running strong
It just occurred to me that I'm running the same MacBook Air I bought in 2014 as a backup laptop, actually I tend to keep it in the shade on the deck in the summer (it's a covered deck). So I sit in the hammock, or a I have a tablesaw and same carpentry tools and I do little projects and I just spend a lot of time surfing on this laptop. It's not my work laptop, and I have a main personal computer, but if I'm on the deck or working around the house and I need something that's a convenient size to carry around with me, while troubleshooting the car or motorcycle in the garage, whatever I grab the Macbook.
It hasn't offered updates for the OS in some time, so today I'm downloading Ubuntu to give it a longer, secure life. While downloading it occured to me: this is the original battery; it's never been replaced. I've never had to repair or replace any part of it, and it does sit outside all summer.
The reason I originally bought it is that I needed a laptop for work, and it had to fit in my motorcycle saddle bag and be light and easy to carry because I had a very bad herniated disk. I wanted to maintain my abililty to use and support a Mac in an office environment. I didn't really want to spend the money and I'm not really a Mac fan; I prefer Android for my phone. But I always wanted a quality laptop, I earn my money in technical support and wanted a quality piece of hardware. I think I remember liking that it had an Intel cpu
I don't use it like that anymore, so it got repurposed as the "deck/house repaigarage" laptop and I tend to use it all summer long.
It's really stood the test of time, and I can't believe that it sat on a shelf all winter for six months straight with no charging; normally I keep it on the charger all winter but this winter I was lazy. I just plugged it in this morning and let it charge. It's been running on charge for the past hour ++ maybe 2 hours and it says: 78% batter power
so, the battery STILL holds a charge. I'm totally sold on this laptop now I love it all over again. I can't wait to see how Ubuntu runs.
The only downside: 4 GB Ram limitation, can't upgrade the RAM. It runs a little hot as a Mac OS but I'll take the time to tweak it to run better under Linux
All that being said, today if I bought a new one, I couldn't justify paying MacBook prices. I would probably find a slim Chromebook for my "mobile" laptop. I will say that I've always felt that Mac products were the bomb from a design standpoint, they have the absolute best quality control for consumer hardware, but you paid for it and as such I felt the cost was simply too high. After this experience in reliability I can say if you want to spend your money on a Mac, spend it. I wonder how long this delightful aluminum slab will run for

so, the battery STILL holds a charge. I'm totally sold on this laptop now I love it all over again. I can't wait to see how Ubuntu runs.
The only downside: 4 GB Ram limitation, can't upgrade the RAM. It runs a little hot as a Mac OS but I'll take the time to tweak it to run better under Linux
All that being said, today if I bought a new one, I couldn't justify paying MacBook prices. I would probably find a slim Chromebook for my "mobile" laptop. I will say that I've always felt that Mac products were the bomb from a design standpoint, they have the absolute best quality control for consumer hardware, but you paid for it and as such I felt the cost was simply too high. After this experience in reliability I can say if you want to spend your money on a Mac, spend it. I wonder how long this delightful aluminum slab will run for
2024.05.20 02:01 Sceritz [HIRING] $10-$50, Short-Ongoing Pokemon Fanfic VA's (Primarily Black/AAVE, other opportunities available)
Hello, I am writing a Pokemon fanfic and I am likely putting way too much behind it, but hey, Gotta love the storytelling hobby.
Pokemon Urban Black is a cyberpunk semi-realism take on Pokemon as a concept overall. The book has mature themes (not NSFW but certainly an older age range) and asks several questions about the nature of a pokemon world.
Anyway, I'm looking for a few voice actors who can help with snippets from the story. There will be no full-fledged chapter reading and even the most prominent roles will have snippets that last less than 1:30, if that.
This is a fun fan project. I am paying but I am not making profits off this. Below I am going to list roles from most to least prominent, along with two lines you can read if you so choose (not required before contact). Please let me know what roles you're considering when you reach out.
The one's that say "Pokemon" in parenthesis are characters from the actual games/manga/anime that you can look up.
Trevor Black
Black male, 23-years-old, smooth urban voice, AAVE swag. Semi-sarcastic. He's a hacker that gets himself caught up in some shady business with criminals, by accident.
"Nah, what do you think, Frenchie?"
"Yeah. You right. But it's not him I care about. The shame is all that money he's leaving on the table. He probably spent his life building that up, and for what?"
Godlove Benjamin
Black male, 49-years-old, deep commanding urban voice. Sometimes Sarcastic, Everything he says puts you on edge. Main Villain of Pokemon Urban Black. Mob boss of a gang called Pressure.
"Yeah, that's it. You came to me all excited and shit cuz you caught that lil Sandshrew"
Teanna Black
Black female, Age 19-45-ish as story progresses. Natural voice, weathered by life but optimistic. Teanna is Trevor's mother but we will be hearing her voice from audio journal recordings that range from when she's 19 on.
"My name is Teanna. Teanna Black. I'm 19 years old about 5'6", brown eyes. Very cute. You know. You know. But \ahem* really. I'm doing this because my mom always told me to and I never did."*
Amber Renee Carter
Black Female, Age 24, confident, sweet, encouraging. Renee is the 8th ranked Pokemon Master in the world and famous for it. She starts dating Trevor near the beginning of the story.
"Okay 'Trev'... how about I take your number, instead?"
Frenchie
Black Female, Age 24, sassy, sarcastic, slight (very slight) southern twang, AAVE Swag. Trevor's best friend. A "keeping it real" type of personality.
"Please Trev, like you give a damn about what happens to some rich CEO"
"Yes! Do you know how powerful a Mudkip can be?! and it's sooo cuuuuute."
James (Pokemon)
White male, 34-years-old, (NOT like show voice), Suave, smooth, velvety voice. Apathatic, confident swag. James is second only two Giovanni in Pokemon training capability. One of the strongest trainers in the story. (Jessie is in the story too, but she is already cast)
"Just... James"
"Ah yes, and the world was reminded of what the word 'Legendary' truly means."
Guzma (Pokemon)
White Male, 42-years-old, Sarcastic, kind of gruff, but playful voice. Laid back, carefree. Guzma is the leader of the "Skull" gang, but... despite being a career criminal he's not exactly a bad guy.
"Kid's too soft. I'm doing his ass a favor."
"Eh, well you know what they say... polished shit is still shit."
Plumeria (Pokemon)
White female, 26-years-old, Quiet, reserved, can be stern, but typically calm. Plumeria is second in command of the "Skull" gang.
"N's a good kid,"
"We'll be violating the family ground laws."
Cyrus (Pokemon)
White male, 56-years-old, Collected, pensive, wise. Leader of the Galactic Game, once a reputable science organization gone bad.
"It was certainly possible. You know it was. The science was sound. Even the magic aspects checked out. You were just afraid,"
Ryme (Pokemon)
Black Female, 74-years-old, Somewhat raspy voice, but commanding, and collected. She's the godmother of the underworld crime families.
"This meeting has been called to clear up these confusions so that we can avoid any unnecessary mistakes in judgment." Her eyes again found Jessie. "You have the table."
Brock (Pokemon)
Black Male, 48-years-old, Street hardened, heavy voice, no-nosense. perpetually angry but always keeping it under wraps. Far different from Brock in the series, he's had serious trauma and he's looking for revenge.
"That Sandshrew... where'd you find it?"
If anyone has any questions feel free to simply reach out to me. There will likely be other required voices but as of now these are all I have. Thank you!

GPS Tracking Laws In TexasAre you wondering about the legality of using GPS trackers on vehicles in Texas? You're not alone. From San Antonio to Dallas-Fort Worth, individuals and businesses often consider tracking cars for various reasons. Perhaps you suspect infidelity, worry about a teen's driving habits, or need evidence for legal disputes. In Texas, these scenarios frequently prompt questions about GPS tracking. But here's the crucial point: Is it legal to place a GPS tracker on someone else's car in Texas? This article, crafted by GPS experts, aims to educate you on Texas's GPS tracking laws. Keep reading to gain essential insights into what's legal and what's not when it comes to vehicle tracking in the Lone Star State.https://preview.redd.it/vndtytew0h1d1.jpg?width=780&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e73e61da8978ab90da62120888073e801683b87e Is It Legal To Put A Vehicle Tracker On Someone's Car In Texas - ExamplesAre you wondering if it's illegal to install a GPS tracker on someone else's car in Texas? The answer isn't straightforward – it's both yes and no. Let's break it down. If you purchase a GPS device and secretly place it inside a car you don't own, that's illegal and considered a misdemeanor in Texas. But, the law in Texas has its complexities and nuances when it comes to GPS tracking. Let's explore a few scenarios to understand these legal grey areas better.
Basically, it is a crime to put a hidden GPS tracker inside a car that does not belong to you. Section 16.06(a)(2) says that “motor vehicle” has the meaning assigned by Section 501.002, Transportation Code. The Punishment For Using A GPS Tracker Illegally In TexasIllegal use of a vehicle tracking system is a Class A Misdemeanor in the state of Texas. Class A Misdemeanors are punishable by a fine (not exceeding $4,000). If you are found guilty of illegally placing a GPS tracker on someone's car in Texas you must consult a criminal attorney. The reason is that even if you already pleaded guilty, a criminal defense attorney will work on your behalf to obtain the lowest possible sentence.Under Texas law, a law enforcement agency that reasonably believed a person was involved in some form of criminal activity (wiretap act) is authorized to install a GPS device as long as they first obtain a warrant. The unlawful installation of a tracking system on the vehicle of a private citizen could lead to a criminal investigation or electronic communication. Arguing Effective Consent From Owner or Lessee Of Vehicle In TexasEffective Consent means you received explicit consent or implied consent. If that sounds a little confusing let us try to break down that legal language. Effective consent means you directly informed the vehicle owner you would place a tracker on their car. For example, if you took the vehicle to an auto mechanic and asked them to equip a GPS tracker to the car, you have given them your express consent. Keep in mind that your criminal defense attorney will have to argue this defense.On the other hand, effective consent many times can be implied. An example of this would be if a parent "leased" a car to their teen driver, and used a tracking device for safety The minor might not have provided express consent, but because they are still a minor (under the control of their parents) the consent is assumed. Need Legal Advice? Find The Right Lawyer In TexasUnderstanding GPS tracking laws in Texas is just the first step. Your unique situation demands personalized legal guidance. Remember, every case has its nuances. That's why consulting with a legal professional is crucial. They can offer tailored advice, ensuring your actions stay within legal boundaries.If you're seeking legal advice on GPS tracking laws in Texas, it's important to find the right lawyer. Start by searching online for attorneys specializing in privacy or criminal law in your area. Websites like the State Bar of Texas or local legal directories can be great resources.

2024.05.20 01:55 devi1ica Got confronted and cornered on Jackson st., what should I have done?
I (girl) was walking on Jackson near Financial Pl. area this afternoon with my guy friend and this guy comes walking up to us with his hands up, like he was going to shoot us? As we got closer, it looked more like he was going to shoot a rubber band at us. We tried to pass and avoid him but he kept blocking our path, yelling “what you gonna do about it.” My friend ended up going past him as he was coming towards me. I ended up running onto the street to pass him bc he cornered me off the sidewalk. Not sure what we should have done in this situation besides trying to run away, any ideas on how to avoid this situation? Kinda shaken from this experience and want to be better prepared

2024.05.20 01:55 DriveThroughLane Just how efficient are mercenaries?
I want to look at a small selection of mercs to see how they compare to each race's combat units. There are obviously some mercs that are terrible (a rogue is somewhat comparable to a footman, and footmen suck) and others that are quite powerful (twilight ruins let you get 4x makrura deepseers and basically be playing swarm hosts from sc2)
To keep it simple I'm looking at the medium armor / piercing ranged creeps, generally the best combo.
Each race has;
Riflemen and fiends are pretty similar, archers have more DPS for less EHP, but HH have been buffed to have really disparately high EHP for their cost which has been the big balance problem (about 30% tankier than the same food in rifles/fiends). But in general it costs you about 70 gold per food, and you get about 5 (7) dps per food, 180 (250) EHP per food. That's the general baseline.
Now lets compare some creeps. Note the per food instead of upgrade categories;
The big takeaway is a lot of merc units are actually competent or even better than normal race units. Without needing to build a barracks, without needing to build an upgrade hall/blacksmith, without needing to invest lots of time and resources in 6 different upgrades to cap them out. In 4v4 maps with 4x merc camps it becomes a real strategy to just hog them from both teams and never build any infrastructure, but that's not applicable to most 1v1 maps. And only when units are really fully upgraded does the +6 armor give much of an edge to non-merc ranged, because that ~250 EHP per food isn't reached by any of them

| Archer | 130g/10l/2f | 11.3 | 18 | 255 | 347 | 500(700) | Hide, Elune's Grace |
Now lets compare some creeps. Note the per food instead of upgrade categories;
| Unit | Resources | DPS | DPS/food | EHP | EHP/food | Range | Ability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assassin | 260g/30l/3f | 17 | 5.7 | 477 | 159 | 500 | Envenomed Weapons, Hide |
| Kobold Geomancer | 215g/30l/2f | 13.9 | 6.9 | 300 | 150 | 600 | Slow, Abolish Magic |
| Troll Berserker | 245g/30l/3f | 20.3 | 6.8 | 477 | 159 | 500 | None |
| Murgul Bloodgill | 195g/10l/2f | 11.6 | 5.8 | 336 | 168 | 500 | Heal |
| Stormreaver Hermit | 190g/20l/2f | 12.8 | 6.4 | 381 | 190 | 500 | Purge |
| Mur'gul Snarecaster | 265g/30l/3f | 18.1 | 6.0 | 420 | 140 | 500 | Slow, Abolish Magic |
| Gnoll Warden | 180g/20l/2f | 15.6 | 7.8 | 330 | 165 | 500 | Purge |
| Quillboar Hunter | 215g/20l/2f | 14.4 | 7.2 | 468 | 234 | 500 | None (counted evasion in ehp) |
| Troll Shadow Priest* | 195g/10l/2f | 11.4 | 5.7 | 240 | 120 | 600 | Heal, Abolish Magic |
| Spitting Spider* | 235g/30l/2f | 15.8 | 7.9 | 424 | 212 | 600 | Envenomed Weapons |
- These units have heavy armor so they'll often take much more damage, a priest is even squisher than its already abysmally low ehp suggests.
The big takeaway is a lot of merc units are actually competent or even better than normal race units. Without needing to build a barracks, without needing to build an upgrade hall/blacksmith, without needing to invest lots of time and resources in 6 different upgrades to cap them out. In 4v4 maps with 4x merc camps it becomes a real strategy to just hog them from both teams and never build any infrastructure, but that's not applicable to most 1v1 maps. And only when units are really fully upgraded does the +6 armor give much of an edge to non-merc ranged, because that ~250 EHP per food isn't reached by any of them
2024.05.20 01:51 PopularBehavior Gotta get those property taxes filed and fund my build. If I were to try and use my (as of now) vacant land for a wedding venue for small 20-40 people gatherings, what hoops would I likely have to jump through?
more info: 38 acres
No facilities or permanent structures but I could get temp power with a little investment.
a restaurant across the street just opened up and could serve as a reception area.
I figured that tents, porta potties, altars, generators, etc could be supplied by a budget oriented woodsy couple.
I have highway and side road access, and about .75 mile of roadside to park on.
there's also space for about 10-12 cars to park.
the reception area will be in a clearing with a mountain view. won't need much work done there as long as I have a safe and dry path to walk on.
Bonuses are Plenty of close housing & hotels bc ski resort is 5 miles away. Is a 4 season rental area - 1:20m from city w INTL aiport.
27 wooded acres (some 200 yr old pines) So far I have a driveway, a ground spring I tapped, and approval from local environmental agency to start my build.
**the remaining acreage is federal and state protected wetlands

2024.05.20 01:42 kyllo Meet Report: 2024-05-18 USPA Drug Tested Emerald City Classic
Summary
I competed for the first time at the USPA Drug Tested Emerald City Classic hosted by DOP Strength Gym in Kirkland, WA on May 18th, 2024.Here's my Instagram post with videos of my third attempts and a photo with my participation medal (I was the only 110kg submaster male lifter).
I went 9/9 with no red lights, broke my gym PRs on squat and deadlift, and had an awesome time. I competed in the submaster 110kg class in raw full power, weighed in (24h before) at 105.7 kg, and totaled 545kg. I planned to take very light openers, big jumps for my second attempts (15kg for squat and deadlift, 10kg for bench), and then smaller jumps (7.5kg for squat and deadlift, 5kg for bench) for my thirds, and I stuck to that plan. All of my lifts felt great and moved fast except for my third bench, which was a little bit of a grind. My strategy paid off because I had a much more enjoyable day going 9/9 a little light, compared to how I would have felt if I had missed any of my first or second attempts--which I saw happen to plenty of other lifters.
The gym was a little crowded with 60 lifters in 4 flights but the meet was super well run, with good vibes all around. The meet director was super clear at the rules briefing and the spotteloader crew absolutely hauled ass and the whole meet was over at 3 pm. I also got to see several master's lifters set state and national records, including a 72 year old woman, so that was awesome to watch.
My friend and training partner, who is an experienced master's lifter and meet judge, showed up to handle me and that made a huge difference in my experience. He really helped me a ton with understanding the pace, timing my warmups, loading the bar, chalking my back, cheering me on, telling me when to rest, eat, hydrate, everything. He really did a fantastic job.
Prep
I took Steve DeNovi's free 3x Bench - Conventional Deadlift program and ran Block 3 and the peaking block (10 weeks), with modifications to the accessory selection and split to make it 4 days a week. My weekly split was:- Mon: Primary squat, OHP, pull ups, bicep curls
- Tue: Primary bench, secondary deadlift (cluster singles), chest supported rows, face pulls, tricep pushdowns
- Thu: Secondary squat, paused squat, tertiary bench (Larsen press), lat pulldowns, DB incline press
- Fri: Primary deadlift, paused deadlift, secondary bench, bent over rows, lateral raises
Squat
Squats felt great in prep. My training max for the first block was 425 lbs and I upped it to 435 for the second block. I didn't feel like I under or overshot any of my prep lifts, my RPEs felt accurate.There was a little confusion about whether squats would be done on a 25kg squat bar or a 20kg power bar, but they ended up using the 20kg Kabuki power bar. The knurling felt great on my back.
- 170kg. The main thing in my head was to take my time setting up, which I did, and I think it helped calm my nerves. When I unracked, the bar tilted to the right slightly, but I was able to level it out as I walked out. Stance felt solid, got a strong brace, weight felt light and moved fast.
- 185kg. Better unrack. Felt lighter than I expected.
- 192.5kg. Beat my gym PR of 415lbs. My handler said my third looked like it moved better than my second. I felt a cramp in my right inner hamstring as I locked it out though, and it's feeling sore today. I felt in control the whole rep but I think I kinda dive-bombed it and went a little too deep and that over-stretched my hammie. Looking back at the videos, I think I rushed the descent on all my squats, even though I had been practicing a slower descent during prep. Something to work on cleaning up before my next meet.
Bench
I kind of wrote off bench for this meet since I made poor progress in prep. For the first 5 week block my training max was 265 lbs and I felt like I was undershooting, so I increased it to 275 lbs, but once I started hitting singles at 250+ they weren't moving well and my butt started coming off the bench. I fixed that issue late in prep by setting my feet further back. My left shoulder had also been bothering me a bit lately, plus I started getting some tennis elbow on my left from the bent over rows or something. So I went with attempts I knew for sure I could hit, and didn't get too excited for bench. I also really felt that bench was a natural "valley" between the peaks of squat and deadlift, in terms of the energy level of the meet.- 100kg. A gimme attempt just to practice the commands for real.
- 110kg. This was the best bench single I've had lately--setup, foot placement, arch, unrack, controlled descent, pause, and press, everything felt solid and it went up so fast that my friend who was working the scoring table shouted "Put some weight on the bar!"
- 115kg. Unrack felt great, controlled eccentric and pause felt good, got a fast press command, but I think my back slipped a little on the pad, which was kind of slick, and I didn't get enough leg drive, and forgot to cue bar path, so I pressed it straight up off my chest and hit a sticking point, then my back cramped up and my arms started shaking. I barely got it locked out. I originally wanted to aim for 120kg on my third attempt but now I'm glad I didn't because I for sure would have missed it.
Deadlift
Deadlifts are my best event (long arms) and the pauses and cluster singles in DeNovi's program really helped dial in my setup and make me stronger off the floor. Having access to a deadlift bar in training was nice, as the whip might have thrown me off if I had only ever trained on a stiff bar. Liquid chalk + hook grip + Kabuki bar = unlimited grip.Toward the end of prep I changed my setup to get rid of my dynamic "hip pump" wedge and just sink straight into my starting position, set my hook grip, and just patiently "leg press the floor away." This change really paid off because it helped me get the most out of the deadlift bar and made my lockouts a breeze.
I was worried about the back cramp during my third bench interfering with my deadlift, but as I started warming up, my back felt fine, however I was feeling that third squat in my right hamstring. Thankfully the pain subsided once I got warm again.
- 215kg. Felt light, as it should have, like a last warmup. Not much else to say.
- 230kg. My handler said "earn your third attempt!" I executed my setup and pull exactly like my first attempt and was surprised by how fast it broke the floor and how easy the lockout was. I heard someone say "that's a good hinge!"
- 237.5kg. I almost went for 240 but kept it conservative because I was worried about my hamstring. I kinda regret holding back now. I took a couple extra seconds to build up a really hard brace before methodically executing my setup. Just as the bar passed my knees they shook a little, and the crowd started cheering for me, but the bar didn't slow down at all so I knew I had it in the bag for 9/9 and just felt ecstatic.
Next steps
Now that this meet's behind me, my main training priority will be getting my bench up. I'm going to reevaluate my approach to frequency, volume, specific vs. hypertrophy work, and my diet.For squat, I think I'll continue doing pauses and maybe add tempo descent work or something to break my dive-bombing habit because I don't want to pull a hammy with a heavier weight at my next meet.
My deadlift feels locked in, so I'm not going to fix what isn't broken. I want to work in some RDLs in my offseason since I haven't done them in a while, but that's it.
There's another USPA meet at the same venue in late September which is kinda soon but I'm really tempted to do it so I can go in more confident, open a little higher, set some new meet PRs, and get my money's worth with this USPA membership. It's about 17 weeks away now so that's enough time to have a few weeks of offseason before another prep cycle.
2024.05.20 01:39 manoleque You can summon a "net" that filters anything.
Basically you can summon a net (imagine a fishing net) that can filter anything. You can summon a net of the size of a building and filter all the money in the building, that money will pass through walls and people. You can filter anything including emotions and thoughts. You can filter oddly specific things. The net can be the shape and size you desire. I feel that this power need a downside, let's say you can't filter yourself (imagine a perfect hitbox around you, you can't filter anything inside, this includes filtering past you, that is, you can't filter a building top down if you're inside, you'll need to stop before it reaches you), every time you filters something, doesn't matter how big or small it is, you feel slightly tired and this power consumes calories, nothing too big, lets say that if you filter the coffee on a mug you lose 1 cal, and if you filter the planet you lose 3k cal ( a logarithmic graph for those who care ).

2024.05.20 01:34 i-lick-eyeballs [Spoilers] My reaction after finishing Dragonball Super anime for the first time
Thoughts after finishing Dragonball Super. Spoilers ahead, stop reading if you haven't finished the series!
Biggest letdown - the final battle between Goku and Jiren
I was hoping that during their long fight, they would have some back and forth dialogue where Jiren really questioned Goku's endless and insatiable drive for more battles and more power. I think there was a good setup before the battle royale started where a lot of other universes blamed Goku for the fact that most of them would be wiped from existence, and there was room there for Goku to be seen as the villain by everyone but his own friends. It would be a unique story angle for the pure-hearted Goku to be questioned harshly like that. Goku could have redeemed himself in everyone's eyes by the end, which would have made for an interesting character arc.
I wanted Jiren to say something like, "I fight for justice, Goku! Is what you have done truly just? Look at the countless lives that are laid at your feet for disrespecting the gods and getting all the universes caught in this ridiculous battle! All because YOU are excited to fight. Goku, your insatiable drive for battle has cost unfathomable losses, how can you justify yourself??"
Goku could have had some deep self-reflection, which could be what triggered his Autonomous Ultra Instinct. Him realizing that he needs to let go of the Saiyan battle-lust and tap into his instincts, letting go of everything. He could realize that he has gotten so powerful it tears at the fabric of reality when he fights, and that in addition to his lust for battle, he needs to find a deep internal responsibility over his own power in order to truly protect his loved ones and the multiple universes at stake.
I didn't like how they spent so much time building Jiren up only to have his character developed by a quick exposition dump with a throwaway story and a "Might Makes Right" mindset. I feel like they just threw Jiren away. Jiren could have been seen as the fighter with purer intentions if they just changed up his story. I wanted to see Jiren standing on the high ground, able to say that he had fought for power to maintain justice and order in his universe, to preserve and promote peace, and that the result was that the people of his universe were ultimately happier and safer than those in Goku's universe. That high ground of strength, power, and moral value could have been the place Goku reached for and ultimately overcame!
Favorite parts
*I loved how the battle royale was ultimately a test of virtue for all the universes. It fits in really well with the god-realm aspects of the story and facing the judgment of gods!
*I like how the format of a battle royale gave a lot of the characters their own moments to shine in battle. It came off a little gimmicky at times, but I loved seeing how hard everyone fought for each other. I think Master Roshi was one of my favorites, seeing him give his all and fight himself near to death (despite being only a human) to protect his home universe was awesome. I also loved the Saiyan interactions, Goku and Vegeta helping out the young Saiyans from the other universe was so fun, and seeing Goku getting his ass nearly handed to him by two female Saiyans was exciting.
*The intro song during the Battle Royale arc!! NGL, "I've got a strength deep in my soul that gives me courage and control," got me pumped every time. I sang along every time!
*Some of the final battle animation, especially with Goku and Frieza side by side, was absolutely sick.
*I love that Goku wasn't the one who saved the day, ultimately. I thought this series was so great for letting everyone else have moments to shine and having Android 18 be the reluctant hero was nice to see.
*I liked to see Frieza slowly come around through the series, and Golden Frieza, along with Frieza getting his own musical theme was pretty neat. He was a great baddie and it was nice to have him back. I love how in Dragonball, baddies just can't help but become Goku's friend in the end.
Less-than-favorite parts
*The tone of the entire series felt a little corny which was a struggle at times.
*Furry universe and Magical Girl universe
*The wild swings in animation quality, but then again, that's very typical for Dragonball so not expecting much there. Also I prefer the DBZ animation techniques with different line weights, a more handcrafted feel, and overall more consistent and better-looking animation.
*Some of the outro songs sounded like they belonged in a preschool class. Their tone was ... weird.

2024.05.20 01:23 Own-Efficiency507 Do You Play Past The Point Of Getting A Gen Powered Base Or Get Bored And Stop Playing?
After all my hours of playing finally got a gen magazine and powered my base for the first time after taking a looong break from the game. Made a post asking what to do next and it seems a good amount of people just got bored after that point and stopped playing on that save, either starting a new one or playing something else. Got me wondering how many people actually move on past that point and what people do as a new goal. With build 42 , hopefully, coming we'll get some better late game goals and stuff to do to keep the attraction of living for a long time going, so that will fix the one criticism I see a lot of, that the game loses interest once you get pretty set up and self-sufficient. So, what do you guys do?

Weekly Update on Hoge: Progress, Challenges, and Community Highlights
A Sleeping Giant Awakens
Thank you to all our community members, without your resilience, patience, and engagement, none of this would be possible.

A Sleeping Giant Awakens
- Hoge, the Ethereum-based project, is gearing up for significant advancements. While progress might seem slow to some, there's a dedicated team of holders working tirelessly behind the scenes to amplify the project's impact. These individuals, whether publicly or privately, are committed to enhancing what Hoge has to offer. If you see a project or aspect of Hoge you think you can help with, reach out to us. We'll guide you to the right places where your strengths can shine.
- It's unfortunate that some holders only witness the drama and FUD perpetuated by a few. However, for those actively involved in contributing to Hoge, the community spaces are positive and enjoyable. Your own Reddit champion and Hoge advisor is now providing wrap-up reports in an easily digestible format (Yes, that would be me). These summaries are perfect for those who can't dedicate a half-hour weekly to stay updated. The ones who tune in here have received updates every week for over two and a half years, making it a reliable source of information.
- Last week marked the launch of our new community website. It's a hub for showcasing our accomplishments and offering a glimpse into future developments. Jshiz, who spearheaded this project, is highly responsive to community feedback, already implementing updates based on user suggestions. This site is set to be the ultimate source of truth for the Hoge community, providing a centralized location for all Hoge-related information and activities.
- Hoge advisor, Nero Digital Design, is working on an all-in-one pitch deck. This resource will streamline research for grants, influencers, and exchanges, making it easier to share and understand Hoge's value propositions. The pitch deck aims to consolidate all essential information into one easy-to-digest PowerPoint presentation, facilitating content creation and promotional efforts.
- Regarding WhiteBit, which listed Hoge back in February 2021, there are some updates and challenges. WhiteBit holds a significant amount of Hoge, but users haven't been able to participate in DAO governance votes. Initially, market-making fees were covered by the original leadership team and later by community members. Currently, WhiteBit has requested increased volume, which typically involves a program simulating trading activity—a practice Hoge prefers to avoid.
- WhiteBit has recently announced that they will hide the HOGE/USDT trading pair from their spot market list starting May 17th. The pair will still be available for trading via a direct link. The community now needs to decide whether to add more liquidity to WhiteBit or redirect those funds to the Solana and Base bridges. This is a critical decision, and we encourage all users to participate in the discussion on Reddit. WhiteBit has promised marketing efforts for Hoge multiple times, yet has not followed through, adding to the complexity of our relationship with the exchange.
- Alex is meticulously refining HogeAI, ensuring the website's flow and content are user-friendly. The sharing page is particularly noteworthy, with a growing library of images that can be easily shared and uploaded. Regular updates are provided on Telegram, but this highlight is essential for everyone to know. The goal is to make HogeAI an intuitive and comprehensive platform for all users.
- Lastly, the Hoge PFP mint, initially scheduled for last friday, has been a little postponed. Each NFT is hand-drawn and rich in Hoge lore, making them unique collectibles. A step-by-step guide on how to mint your own is available, and the process is straightforward. With gas fees currently low, it's an excellent opportunity for Hoge enthusiasts to join in the fun and be surprised by the NFTs they receive. The anticipation around these NFTs is high, with many sneak peeks having been shared, yet most designs remain a mystery.
Thank you to all our community members, without your resilience, patience, and engagement, none of this would be possible.
