As part of CS50 Week 9 project, I have this finance project completed: https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2024/psets/9/finance/
Now, I intend to connect this project with Zerodha API (https://kite.trade/) instead of current Yahoo Finance API.
Not sure though I understand it is unlikely that all the Python files Zerodha has as part of their API docs (https://github.com/zerodha/pykiteconnect) to be added to my Codespace. The reason I feel so is Yahoo Finance too might have their own set of Python files as part of their API docs which were never added. They rather perhaps need to be imported using import command.
The configuration was made in helpers.py for Yahoo Finance API:

 # Prepare API request symbol = symbol.upper() end = datetime.datetime.now(pytz.timezone("US/Eastern")) start = end - datetime.timedelta(days=7) # Yahoo Finance API url = ( f"https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/{urllib.parse.quote_plus(symbol)}" f"?period1={int(start.timestamp())}" f"&period2={int(end.timestamp())}" f"&interval=1d&events=history&includeAdjustedClose=true" ) # Query API try: response = requests.get( url, cookies={"session": str(uuid.uuid4())}, headers={"Accept": "*/*", "User-Agent": request.headers.get("User-Agent")}, ) response.raise_for_status() # CSV header: Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Adj Close,Volume quotes = list(csv.DictReader(response.content.decode("utf-8").splitlines())) price = round(float(quotes[-1]["Adj Close"]), 2) return {"price": price, "symbol": symbol} except (KeyError, IndexError, requests.RequestException, ValueError): return None def usd(value): """Format value as USD.""" return f"${value:,.2f}" 

Modified the same for Zerodha:

ef lookup(symbol): """Look up quote for symbol using Zerodha Kite Connect API.""" # Prepare API request symbol = symbol.upper() headers = {"X-Kite-version": "3"} # Specify API version # Endpoint URL with placeholder for access token and symbol url = f"https://api.kite.trade/data/v3/instruments/{symbol}" # Read access token from config file securely try: config = ConfigParser() config.read('config.py') # Assuming config.py is in the same directory access_token = config.get('DEFAULT', 'ZERodha_ACCESS_TOKEN') except (FileNotFoundError, KeyError): # Handle missing config file or key gracefully print("Error: Configuration file or access token not found.") return None ..................................................... 

Although the above for Zerodha is still not functional, is it correct that if the above portion of the code configured correctly, I can connect the proposed web application with Zerodha API?
UPDATE:
ChatGPT apparently solved this query:
Yes, you're on the right track. If you configure the portion of the code correctly to interact with the Zerodha API, you should be able to connect your web application to the Zerodha API.
Here are some key points to consider:

1. API Endpoint: Ensure that you're using the correct endpoint for the Zerodha API. The endpoint you're accessing in the lookup function (https://api.kite.trade/data/v3/instruments/{symbol}) seems appropriate for retrieving instrument data.
2. Authentication: Make sure you're handling authentication correctly. It appears that you're attempting to read the Zerodha access token from a config file. Ensure that the access token is valid and that your application has the necessary permissions to access the Zerodha API.
3. Error Handling: Implement robust error handling to handle cases where the Zerodha API request fails or returns unexpected data. This includes handling exceptions such as FileNotFoundError, KeyError, and requests.RequestException as you've done in your code.
4. Testing: Once you've configured the code to interact with the Zerodha API, thoroughly test your application to ensure that it retrieves data correctly and handles errors gracefully.

By addressing these points and making sure that your code interacts correctly with the Zerodha API, you should be able to connect your web application to the Zerodha API successfully.

It seems like you're encountering some permission issues while trying to install packages and run commands using apt-get. Here are some steps you can take to resolve these issues:

1. Permission Denied: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to install packages and run commands as required. If you're working in a Linux environment, you may need to use sudo to elevate your privileges. For example:arduinoCopy code sudo apt-get install libffi-dev python-dev python3-dev
2. Lock File Issue: The error message E: Could not open lock file /valib/dpkg/lock-frontend indicates that another process is currently using the package management system. Make sure that no other package manager or update process is running in the background. If you're certain there are no other processes, you can remove the lock file manually:After removing the lock file, try running the apt-get command again.bashCopy code sudo rm /valib/dpkg/lock-frontend
3. Installation of pykiteconnect: Since you couldn't find a matching distribution for pykiteconnect, it's possible that it's not available via pip or apt-get in your current environment. You may need to check the installation instructions provided by Zerodha or consider alternative methods for installing pykiteconnect.

Try these steps and let me know if you encounter any further issues!

Is this the right way to install pykiteconnect? Just registered for Publisher program. I could see it is mentioned: No API access. HTML/Javascript buttons and basket.ChatGPT
It seems that pykiteconnect might not be available via PyPI for installation using pip. If you've registered for the Publisher program with Zerodha and it mentions that there's no API access and instead offers HTML/Javascript buttons and basket, then pykiteconnect might not be the right tool for your use case.
In this scenario, you might want to check the documentation or resources provided by Zerodha for the Publisher program to understand how you can integrate their features using HTML/Javascript buttons and baskets.
If you specifically need to interact with the Zerodha API programmatically and pykiteconnect is not suitable, you might need to explore other options provided by Zerodha or consider contacting their support for further assistance on how to integrate their services with your application.

This is because the density (amount of points/space on the graph) of the points below the line is much greater than the points above the line. Link to Graph Image
It's quite likely overplotting of points - you might have 1000 points in the bottom right of the display all one on top of the other, so it looks like one point or only a few points but is in fact many points, thus giving you a misleading impression. There's various options for avoiding the overplotting issue.
The easiest way to fix this in simple terms would be:
i) Smaller points to reduce overlap of non-identical points
ii) jitter: add a little uniform noise to the xs (and the ys if there's any discreteness/exact coincidence there; 0 values for example)
iii) transparency: Partly transparent points will let points underneath show through darker
iv) use of symbols to indicate repeated values
Ps. You don't have to use all of them at once but some combos work together well, for example, you can combine any of the first three.

ChatGPT:
Roland Barthes, the French literary theorist and philosopher, would likely approach the Logan Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout through the lens of semiotics, the study of signs and symbols, and their use or interpretation. Here’s how Barthes might analyze this event:

1. Mythologies and the Construction of Modern Myths:
   Barthes' work in "Mythologies" would lead him to view the bout as a modern myth. He would see the fight as more than a physical contest; it’s a spectacle that communicates broader cultural narratives. Logan Paul, a YouTube celebrity, represents the new age of digital fame, while Mike Tyson symbolizes the traditional, almost mythic, figure of the legendary boxer. The bout is a clash between these two cultural epochs.
   
2. Signifiers and Signified:
   Barthes would break down the event into its constituent signs. The fighters themselves, the media coverage, the audience reactions, and the commercial aspects all serve as signifiers that point to deeper societal values and ideologies. For instance, Tyson might signify nostalgia, raw physicality, and the bygone era of boxing glory, whereas Paul signifies contemporary celebrity culture, the commodification of personal brand, and the power of social media influence.
   
3. The Spectacle and the Role of Media:
   Barthes might discuss how the bout is a spectacle orchestrated by media forces. He would argue that the event is less about the sport of boxing and more about the entertainment value, the media buzz, and the narratives constructed around it. The pre-fight hype, promotional videos, and social media interactions serve to build a narrative that engages the audience emotionally and financially.
   
4. Cultural Consumption and Audience Engagement:
   The audience’s engagement with the bout could be seen as an act of cultural consumption. Barthes might analyze how viewers are not just passive consumers but actively participate in the creation of meaning around the event. They bring their own interpretations, biases, and emotions, which in turn feed back into the media narrative, creating a dynamic loop of meaning-making.
   
5. The Role of the "Punctum":
   Drawing from his later work in "Camera Lucida," Barthes might look for the "punctum" in the event—those unexpected, poignant details that personally affect and puncture the viewer's perception. This could be a moment during the fight, an expression on the fighters' faces, or an incident that transcends the planned spectacle and resonates on a deeper, more personal level with the audience.
   

In essence, Barthes would likely view the Logan Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout not just as a sporting event, but as a rich, layered cultural phenomenon ripe for semiotic analysis.

I was working on a video bumper project this week and ended up using ChatGPT to write some expressions for a few of the animated elements in the piece. It worked surprisingly well. I’ve been using After Effects for years and have always struggled with expressions - my eyes glaze over when I try to read/write code. I was able to describe the effect I was trying to achieve and it output the expression along with instructions on how and where to use it. I feel like this is going to make me more efficient and creative with my AE projects.
Wondering if y’all have used ChatGPT in a similar way with to your motion graphics work?
*Edited because a couple people have asked to see the prompts…
This was my prompt for the expression after discussing the project at length:
“I want to animate this list of characters you provided. The end result will be a grid of characters that cycle through each character in the list randomly. I can take care of the grid, but I need help setting up one character element that changes every second or so and cycles through each symbol in the list. I want to be able to control the speed that it cycles through each symbol. Only one symbol should be visible at a time. Does this make sense?”
Here is the final expression it output:
// List of symbols
var symbols = ["Σ", "∫", "Δ", "∂", "λ", "π", "σ", "φ", "θ", "e", "∇", "∞", "P", "∈", "∩", "∪", "i", "[ ]", "( )", "→"];
// Time interval for each change (in seconds)
var interval = 1;
// Adjust this value to control the speed
// Generate a unique seed for each layer
seedRandom(index, true);
// Shuffle function using Fisher-Yates algorithm
function shuffle(array) { for (var i = array.length - 1; i > 0; i--) { var j = Math.floor(random() * (i + 1)); var temp = array[i]; array[i] = array[j]; array[j] = temp; } return array; }
// Shuffle the symbols array
var shuffledSymbols = shuffle(symbols.slice());
// Use slice() to avoid modifying the original array
// Calculate the current index
var se = Math.floor(time / interval); var m = se % shuffledSymbols.length;
// Return the symbol at the current index
shuffledSymbols[m];
Another prompt:
“Are you able to write an opacity expression for a solid that would mimmic a flashing cursor when you click on a text field?”
The output expression after requesting some adjustments:
// Blinking interval in seconds
var interval = 1;
// Adjust this value to control the speed of blinking
// Calculate the fade effect using a sine wave
var fade = Math.sin(time * Math.PI / interval) * 50 + 50;
// Set the opacity based on the fade calculation fade;

Hi! I escaped human trafficking over 5 years ago, and am ready to start thinking about covering up my branding tattoo. I have used chat gpt to help generate an idea. And I could cry at how perfect the result is.
The branding is HUGE black letters on my lower back-mid lower back.
I would like any opinions on or ideas from others as well. So here goes it..
I also need someone to draw it, and tattoo it. I need it to be amazing.
After getting ideas I put together a rising Phoenix, the universe, and forest and mountains. Some of my favorite things, as well as so meaningful to my situation.
Here is chat gpts generation:
Covering a branding on your entire lower back with a cohesive and meaningful tattoo is a wonderful idea. Here’s a refined design concept for a "Phoenix Ascending from the Cosmic Forest" that will effectively cover your lower back:
Design Concept: "Phoenix Ascending from the Cosmic Forest" Central Element: Phoenix
Position: Center the phoenix on your lower back, with its body starting near your spine and wings extending outward towards your sides. The tail feathers can flow downwards towards the lower part of your back, integrating into the other elements. Design Details: The phoenix should be depicted in mid-flight, rising from the base of your back upwards. Use vibrant colors like reds, oranges, and yellows for the phoenix, transitioning to cooler tones like blues and purples as it ascends. Surrounding Elements:
Mountains
Base: Position the mountains at the bottom part of your back, forming the foundation from which the phoenix is rising. The peaks of the mountains can blend into the lower feathers of the phoenix. Design Details: Use a mix of sharp and soft lines to create a sense of grandeur and strength. Add shadows and highlights to give depth and realism. Forest
Foreground: Place the forest above the mountains, around the lower part of the phoenix’s body. Tall trees can rise on either side of the phoenix, their branches possibly intertwining with the phoenix’s wings or tail feathers. Design Details: Include details like leaves, rays of sunlight, and small animals to bring the forest to life. Use earthy tones like greens, browns, and greys to contrast with the phoenix’s vibrant colors. Universe / Star / Galaxy
Background: The cosmic elements can fill the upper part of your lower back, blending into the background behind the phoenix and forest. Swirling galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters can create a dynamic, ethereal backdrop. Design Details: Use deep blues, purples, and blacks with bright whites and other vivid colors for stars and galaxies. The phoenix’s upper feathers can appear to dissolve into stardust, seamlessly blending with the cosmic background. Additional Elements: Add constellations that hold personal significance or shooting stars to symbolize hope and new beginnings. Color Scheme
Phoenix: Warm tones (reds, oranges, yellows) transitioning to cool tones (blues, purples) to depict the transformation from fire to cosmic energy. Mountains and Forest: Earthy tones (greens, browns, greys) to ground the design and contrast with the vibrant phoenix and cosmic elements. Universe: Deep blues, purples, and blacks with specks of white and bright colors to represent stars and galaxies. Placement and Flow
Lower Back: The design should flow naturally across the lower back, covering the branding completely. The phoenix should be the central focus, with its body starting near the spine and wings extending outward. Integration: Ensure the elements (mountains, forest, and cosmic background) blend seamlessly with each other, creating a cohesive and unified piece. Working with a Tattoo Artist Consultation: Discuss your vision with a professional tattoo artist who specializes in cover-ups and detailed work. Bring reference images and explain the symbolism and significance of each element. Customization: A skilled artist can customize the design to fit your body’s contours and ensure the cover-up is effective. They can also suggest additional details or modifications to enhance the overall piece. This design concept not only covers your branding but transforms it into a powerful symbol of your journey and resilience. The combination of the phoenix, mountains, forest, and cosmic elements creates a rich, layered narrative that reflects overcoming adversity and rising anew.

Chapter Summaries:
Chapter 34 - Miller: Detective Miller and the crew of the Roci board the hidden ship (the one that captured the crew of the Scopuli before destroying it), wearing environment suits because the ship has no atmosphere - someone left the doors open. They stick together at first as they move through the ship, discovering signs of a struggle, zombie vomit, and twelve torpedo tubes big enough to destroy capital ships like the Donnager or the Canterbury. Miller uses his detective skills to determine that everyone but Julie retreated to engineering. Once there, they discover a truly grisly sight: layers of human flesh and bones are sort of fused around the reactor, which has been shut down. Naomi and Holden gasp in shock and disgust, Miller turns on his cop brain to suppress emotion and view it as a crime scene, and Amos seems… calm and able to ignore the gore. The team splits up to look for more clues.
Amos stays in engineering to start up the computers and get the reactor back online. Naomi works on the ops deck to run diagnostics. Miller and Holden head to the bridge, which wasn’t affected by the fighting onboard. Miller reviews the internal feeds and finds footage showing the captured Scopuli crew being led onto the ship, stripped, and put in restraints. Julie fights back viciously but is knocked unconscious and stuffed in a locker with a jumpsuit (which is where we met her in the prologue). The crew is left in the galley for 132 hours before they decide to make a stand, but it is quickly suppressed. One of the crew is thrown out an airlock and the others are heavily restrained as they scream and cry. Just as Miller gets to the first appearance of a vomit zombie (at hour 160 of footage), Amos yells that he’s been exposed to some radiation because the human flesh blob had damaged the reactor shielding. He decides to keep working while Alex monitors his health status from the Roci.
Then Holden calls Miller over to view one of the last feeds Julie accessed. It’s a corporate presentation video created for a man named Dresden and the board of Protogen. It features a man Miller dubs “the sociopath” because of his cold, practiced smile…and because of the content. The sociopath tells the board (and us) the history of scientific discovery on Phoebe, which was thought to just be a moon and a source of water, but became a research station when a survey found complex silicon structures in the ice. Protogen was tasked with investigating and discovered that Phoebe is not a moon but evidence of a galactic biosphere: it is an alien weapon sent towards Earth 2 ⅓ billion years ago, which never made it because of orbital mechanics. Protogen has discovered that this weapon is not alive per se; rather, it is something they’ve termed the “protomolecule” which has the ability to maintain structure while replicating other systems and manipulating them at scalable rates. Of course, they alerted the proper authorities and made sure… just kidding, they’ve secretly been doing tests. The sociopath believes that whoever controls the protomolecule will gain control of all political and economic power going forward. Chillingly, the sociopath urges them to pursue large-scale testing to understand the protomolecule and its human applications. That large-scale testing is Eros.
TL;DR - Julie found evidence that Protogen has discovered an alien weapon, branded it the “protomolecule”, and secretly tested it on the people of Eros (and probably other smaller tests). The entire war has just been a distraction.
Chapter 35 - Holden: Naomi explains that most of the messages on the comm logs have been coded, but the last one is in plain text: the captain informed Thoth Station that the ship was contaminated, everyone was about to die, and the “materials” had been secured. He also planned to send vector data so they could find the ship. The Roci crew put two and alien-symbol-for-two together: they figure out that the captain has locked protomolecule samples in his safe. They also decide that the tightbeam messages were being sent to a secret research station Protogen was using to monitor the Eros experiment. Even though the fact “Naomi is the best” is a proven concept on par with “space is cold”, she is NOT able to open the captain’s safe, so they decide to cut it out of the wall and bring it with them on the Roci. They also scuttle the ship so no one can a) recover the stealth technology and alien weapons, or b) get exposed to the protomolecule-human soup inside. (Amos would have preferred to hack the frozen dead body goo off the reactor with a chainsaw and salvage such an impressive and expensive ship, which is… another way to go.)
It’s clear that someone else with stealth tech is searching actively for this ship, but the Roci won’t see them coming so they decide to get the hell out of Dodge. Naomi jokes that their options include turning the safe over to the OPA (they’d be heroes), selling out to Mars (they’d be rich), or starting their own biotech firm (just kidding, that’s evil). When Miller checks in with Holden about a decision on where to go next, he drops a figurative bomb on him regarding actual bombs in the news. Since Holden did his best Edward Snowden impersonation and leaked the data that the mystery ships are from Earth, Mars asked a few too many questions and in response, Earth has blown up a whole bunch of Martian ships and destroyed the Deimos deep radar station. Miller ruefully gives Holden credit for sticking to his guns about his belief in “free information”. He also points out that Holden’s principles make him responsible for all those deaths and the destruction of the Earth-Mars Coalition… and possibly the universe as they know it.
Chapter 36 - Miller: The war between Mars and the Belt seems like no big deal now that Earth and Mars are fighting. Miller watches the news feeds as the conflict turns into a blockade, and he realizes he is steeling himself for an announcement of a planetary attack on Earth or Mars, but it never comes. He and Amos deal with the stress by having beer for breakfast.
Miller meets up with Holden in the med bay for their routine blood flushes and cancer treatments, and they reopen their debate about what to do with the data files and who is to blame for the war(s).

• Holden’s position: Broadcast everything to everyone! (I know, I know, so out of character, right?) People will understand that they’ve been set up and will turn their wrath on Protogen instead of each other. Also, these are ancient conflicts. The Belt has always hated Mars and the inner planets in general. Mars and Earth have always had animosities secretly brewing and they do military training for the inevitable showdown. Or as Miller puts it, “Not my powder keg; I just brought the match.”
• Miller’s position: Stop and consider what people will do if they hear an Earth company did this. Every other data leak has been used as an excuse to shoot at someone the other side doesn’t like. Also, people suck. They aren’t going to hold hands and sing Kumbaya just because Protogen is the bad guy. They’ll move on to shooting each other so they can be the ones to control the protomolecule. Or as Holden puts it, “Maybe Protogen is a little right. People are too dumb to be trusted with big information so we should keep hard, scary stuff a big secret. That’ll totally work out.”

Holden’s idealism starts to fade as he takes in Miller’s hard truths about humanity. To be fair, Miller loses a little idealism over his perceptions of the inner planets’ relationship which, to the Belt, seemed stable and friendly enough (and united against them). Miller encourages Holden to use Naomi’s judgment as a measuring stick for whether something is right (similar to how he uses illusion-Julie as his conscience and sounding board) and then he goes back to the news feeds to watch Ceres slowly collapse into chaos. Holden decides the only person and place he trusts - or at least doesn’t completely distrust - is Fred Johnson on Tycho Station, so they head there. Holden also wonders why they don’t just destroy the safe and make sure everyone stays away from Eros and Phoebe; Miller admits it’s because the protomolecule might just be the holy grail.
Chapter 37 - Holden: The crew of the Roci is taking a break from doom scrolling to cook fake space lasagna for dinner and bond over the food and conversation. As Holden watches the crew laugh at Amos’s belches and Miller’s wild story about cheese smuggling, he reflects that they represent all three prongs of the conflict: Naomi and Miller are Belters, Amos and he are from Earth, and Alex is from Mars. Yet they’re friends, and Holden knows this is what they have to fight for. The cheese smuggling makes no sense to Amos (why cheese and not drugs?), and Naomi points out that this illustrates how little people from the inner planets understand Belters. Earthers have free air and easy access to resources, while Belters know everything that sustains life is rare and their access to it is fragile. And this is why Protogen didn’t blink an eye before killing 1.5 million Belters on Eros: they’re “other”. Then Alex points out that this doesn’t make sense; it's a risky and unnecessarily complicated way to kill people just to satisfy prejudices. It becomes clear that Eros isn’t a hate crime, it’s a vacuum-sealed test tube to let the protomolecule learn how to do its job better by giving it access to a huge amount of biomass. The early transformations looked incomplete, as if it didn’t know how to work with human flesh yet, so Protogen was giving it a chance to train. Holden wants to know where they would even find enough people who would support an evil operation like this, and Miller promises to ask Dresden (the Protogen board member mentioned in the video) when they meet him. Something tells me that conversation won’t go well.
As the Roci approaches Tycho station, Holden and Miller take in the view of the Nauvoo, the partially constructed Mormon generation ship. When Miller says the Mormans may be in for a long and lonely death if they don’t find a habitable planet, Holden notes that this is the good kind of galactic exploration humans can accomplish (the protomolecule being the bad kind). Miller then asks Holden why he trusts Fred, and Holden explains that in addition to being the only person who hasn’t tried to jail them or blow them up since all this began, Fred is “real OPA”: he’s a politician and not part of the war-mongering factions who think they can survive indefinitely without the inner planets. When Miller points out that there isn’t a political solution to Protogen, Holden insists Fred has other skills, too. Later, Fred reads through all the information on the protomolecule and is incredulous that anyone could think to do this. Miller assures him that genocide is an old-school crime and it’s important that they stop it. Holden offers up the location of the observation station in exchange for enough OPA fighters to take down Protogen, and the right to retain custody of the safe and its contents. Fred agrees only after Holden points out that no one else can be trusted to do the right thing with a secret this big. Plus, he says Fred already knows what Holden will do with it.
Chapter 38 - Miller: It feels strange to Miller to explore the wide open spaces of Tycho Station, the fanciest place he has ever set foot on. He notices Naomi working on her hand terminal and letting her food get cold; she is too preoccupied with trying to figure out the location of the station to enjoy the amenities. As they talk, Miller is reminded of Havelock’s advice to just let go when he got pulled off a case, which jogs his memory that Havelock actually works for Protogen! (I’m surprised he didn’t get there faster; maybe everyone had a point that he was sort of a washed up detective.) He rushes off to make contact with his old buddy - probably his last real partner ever - in an encrypted drop site of a Ganymede server cluster. As he waits for a response, Miller is amused to realize he has started thinking like Holden: he feels like someone should warn the Mormans that they could potentially run into the alien creators of the protomolecule who may want to kill them. Havelock comes through, passing along the coordinates to a “very scary deep research and development lab” and asking Miller to be discreet never contact him again so he doesn’t get killed for betraying his employer. Miller sends him an encrypted warning to quit his job ASAP and not take postings at any black ops sites, before saying goodbye for the last time to the only person that still respected him as a cop. (I may or may not be sniffling a bit at this.)
Miller rounds up Naomi and Holden so they can bring Fred the coordinates. In Fred’s office, Miller starts lecturing him about the serious nature of the mission and the need to have a solid plan with adequate firepower, not the usual OPA shenanigans. Everyone’s a little confused until they realize that Miller doesn’t know that Fred is “the butcher of Anderson Station” and a former Colonel in the Earth Navy. Fred assures Miller he’s no amateur and will plan ahead. Miller then insists that he get to come along for the assault on Thoth Station. Eight days later, the plan is set in motion and Miller begins packing his meager belongings into a very small bag, figuring he’ll never see the Roci again. Even if he makes it off Thoth alive, he’ll have to figure out a way to make money and improvise a life plan of some sort. He tries to thank Holden and say goodbye, but the Roci’s captain interrupts Miller to ask where they’ll all meet up after the mission is complete. Miller is confused at first, then overcome with emotion when he realizes Holden considers Miller part of the crew! I’m not crying, you’re crying. Actually, it’s Miller who is weeping. But he pulls himself together so he can head to the assault ship.
Chapter 39 - Holden: The Rocinante needs to sneak up on Thoth Station, so they are pretending to be a loose cargo container that broke off the Guy Molinari (the Belter ship carrying the assault team, which is pretending to be a cargo ship). They fly with everything shut down so that it’s more convincing, hoping they can get close enough to the station to do some damage before Thoth starts firing back. As they approach and are able to reboot everything needed for battle, a stealth ship is spied hanging out near Thoth Station. Then, suddenly it becomes clear that there are two small stealth ships, which will be much harder to fight off. Everyone does their jobs efficiently on the Roci, but in the ensuing battle with the stealth ships, they start to take some damage. First, the Roci is hit by a gauss cannon that goes straight through the machine shop and galley. Holden mourns his coffee maker. Amos notices a leak in the maneuvering thrusters and heads to fix it between the inner and outer hulls, which isn’t an ideal place to be floating around during a battle. This stresses Naomi out, but Holden orders everyone to stay focused. They are able to take out one of the stealth ships, but the other gets close enough to do some impressive damage to the Roci. There is major hull damage as well as loss of four maneuvering thrusters, a PDC, their O2 storage, and the crew airlock. Alex is about to destroy the second stealth ship when the Roci’s point defense cannons (PDCs) detonate an enemy warhead up close. It knocks everyone out, punches holes throughout the Roci (narrowly missing Naomi), dislodges equipment, and fills the ship with debris. Holden marvels that they are alive at all, and Alex points out that is only because the ship’s anti-spalling webbing eliminates shrapnel. They make contact with Fred, who says he’ll find them a place to land, and the Guy Molinari prepares for the assault on Thoth Station. It’s Miller’s turn to shine!
Chapter 40 - Miller: On the Guy Molinari, Miller is talking to a Belter kid named Diogo as they wait for the assault to start. Miller realizes that while he has fancy Martian armor from the Roci and experience with gunfights in station corridors, he is surrounded by inexperienced young Belters with borrowed gear, and he will likely have to watch dozens of them die during the battle. But Diogo isn’t worried; he is confident and eager to get started. Fred announces that they are ready to start boarding since the Roci gave them the “all clear”, and Miller is happy to hear his friends have survived. The assault on the station starts off rough, with Protogen soldiers fighting them in the corridors and automatic defense lasers taking out some of the Belters in the first wave. But Fred knows how to command his OPA “troops” and keep them in line, and things start to go more smoothly as they slow down and maneuver carefully. Miller and Diogo are part of a group taking shelter at Fred’s direction and fending off Protogen counterattacks, and they start to talk during a lull. When two Protogen soldiers sneak up on them from behind, Diogo is hit and Miller chastises himself for chatting during a battle and not staying alert. He thinks Diogo is dead, but he pops up laughing and streaked with white goo from crowd suppression rounds, which Miller finds an odd choice of weapon. It’s the first sign that Thoth Station may not totally understand what’s happening. The OPA soldiers cut their way through the blast doors to get to the operations center, where they find Dresden (the dude mentioned in the sociopath’s Protogen video). Fred arrives to take command of the station, and Dresden offers to negotiate, clearly misunderstanding the reason for the assault. He offers to give the OPA whatever resources they need to go back to fighting their war (money, medical supplies, weapons, ordnance) if they’ll just leave and let the station get back to their very important work. Fred points out that they know about Eros, but Dresden insists no one knows what they did there, and there won’t be a better bargaining position for Fred when Earth sends its battleships. Fred basically calls Dresden Satan, but Dresden doesn’t understand the reference.

This is a place for asking simple questions that might not deserve their own thread. For example, if you have a question about a rules interaction, want sleeve and accessory recommendations, or suggestions for your new deck, then this is the place for you.
We encourage that you post any questions that you may have concerning Magic the Gathering here rather than make a separate thread for each question, though for now we won't require that you do so.
Rules Questions
Rules questions and interactions are allowed to be posted here, but if you need an answer quickly it may be best to use a dedicated resource like the 24/7 Magic the Gathering Rules Chat.
Deckbuilding Questions
If you're trying to get help with a deck, it is recommended that you post your decklist to a deckbuilding website so that it is easier to view. Some popular sites are Aetherhub, Archidekt, Deckbox, Deckstats, Moxfield, MtgGoldfish, and TappedOut.
Additionally, please include some description of what you are trying to accomplish. Don't just give us a decklist with no explanation, and don't ask extremely vague questions such as "what cards should I add to my deck to make it better?", because it's hard to give good advice in those cases. Let us know details, the more the better. Are you building with a particular strategy or theme in mind? Are there any non-obvious combo lines or synergies that people should be aware of? Are you struggling with a particular matchup, or are you finding yourself missing consistency in an important area, and need some help specifically for it? Let us know.
Commonly Asked Questions

I opened a card from a different set in my booster pack, is this unusual?

Don't worry, this is completely normal. If you opened a set booster, you have a small chance of obtaining a bonus card from a previous set. This is an extra card that does not replace any of the other cards in your pack, and is from a curated set of past hits that Wizards of the Coast has selected, which they call "The List".
You can view the contents of The List on Wizards of the Coast's official website. For example, the contents of The List for Streets of New Capenna boosters can be found here.

My foil card has a shooting start symbol over the bottom left. I can't find anything about it online.

All old-bordered foils have the shooting star symbol. Most sites that display card images just overlay a generic foil graphic over all foil cards, which doesn't include the shooting star. Your card is normal.

In honor of Minecraft's 15th anniversary, Microsoft is giving away an exclusive TikTok cape. But, I'm having trouble getting the code and could use some assistance. Here’s the situation:
Minecraft is celebrating its 15th anniversary by giving away a special TikTok cape. This cape is a unique in-game item that you can obtain for free by following a few steps on TikTok.
You can only receive the code from a streamer in your region, I’ve been trying to find an Australian streamer on TikTok who has the drops enabled to get the code. After an hour of searching on tiktok, I still haven’t been able to find any Australian streamers that are giving the code away. I have tried using VPNs to bypass the regional restriction but it hasn’t worked for me.
To obtain the code you have to open up Tiktok and search for minecraft Tiktok cape. After that go to the live section where you can find people livestreaming. You have to find a streamer that is streaming in your region(Alot of people are streaming in America). Press on their video and on top of the video there will be a little tiktok symbol. It will give instructions to get the code which is either watch it for 3 minutes or type in Minecraft in the chat.

The Sun, for instance, represents the soul and signifies self-awareness, ego, and identity. The Moon, on the other hand, is connected to the subconscious mind, emotions, and intuition.

The ancient art of Kundali reading, a sacred tool that unravels the mysteries of the universe, revealing the intricate dance of celestial bodies and their impact on our lives. Within the intricate web of stars and planets, two fundamental components stand out – Rashis and Nakshatras. These two celestial entities play a crucial role in shaping our destinies, influencing our personalities, and guiding our life’s journey.
Rashis, or signs, are the 12 segments of the zodiac circle, each representing a unique character, trait, and energy. They are like the 12 pillars of the universe, standing tall and strong, guiding our lives through their distinct influences. Each Rashi has its own unique characteristics, from the fiery passion of Leo to the calm and collected nature of Taurus.

1. How to Identify the Ashtakoot Guna Milan

As you delve deeper into the intricacies of your Kundali, one of the most crucial aspects to understand is the concept of Ashtakoot Guna Milan. This ancient Vedic practice is a crucial component of matchmaking and marriage compatibility, and it’s essential to grasp its significance in determining the harmony and success of your relationships.
Ashtakoot Guna Milan is a complex calculation that evaluates the compatibility of two individuals based on their birth charts, taking into account eight key factors, including the Gunas, Doshas, and Lagna. Each individual is assigned a score based on their unique characteristics, and the resulting sum is used to determine the overall compatibility of the couple.
In this intricate process, the Pandit Ji will consider the dominant Gunas, or qualities, of each individual, such as Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, and how they interact with each other. The calculation also takes into account the Doshas, or planetary imbalances, and the Lagna, or the Ascendant, which plays a crucial role in determining the individual’s personality, strengths, and weaknesses.
By understanding the Ashtakoot Guna Milan, you’ll gain valuable insights into the potential strengths and challenges of your relationship, allowing you to make informed decisions about your future together. Whether you’re seeking guidance on marriage compatibility or simply looking to deepen your understanding of your partner’s personality, our expert Pandit Ji is here to provide you with personalized guidance and support.

1. Understanding the 12 Houses of the Kundali

As you delve into the intricacies of your Kundali, one of the most crucial aspects to grasp is the concept of the 12 Houses. This ancient Vedic system of astrology is a powerful tool for understanding the complexities of human life, and the 12 Houses are the foundation upon which it is built. Each House represents a specific area of life, from the mundane to the spiritual, and the planets that occupy them play a crucial role in shaping your destiny.
The 1st House, also known as the Lagna, is like the crown of the Kundali, representing the individual’s self-image, personality, and overall life path. The 2nd House is associated with wealth, material possessions, and communication, while the 3rd House is linked to siblings, neighbors, and short journeys.
As we move further into the Kundali, the 4th House is connected to the family, emotions, and the subconscious mind, while the 5th House is associated with creativity, children, and romantic relationships. The 6th House is concerned with health, work, and daily routines, and the 7th House is linked to marriage, partnerships, and relationships.
The 8th House is often referred to as the “House of Transformation” and is associated with rebirth, spiritual growth, and the unknown. The 9th House is connected to higher knowledge, travel, and spirituality, while the 10th House is linked to career, reputation, and public image. The 11th House is concerned with friendships, community, and humanitarian pursuits, and the 12th House is associated with the subconscious mind, spirituality, and the collective unconscious.
Understanding the 12 Houses of your Kundali is like unlocking a treasure chest of secrets and insights. By grasping the complex relationships between the planets and the Houses, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world.

1. The Role of Planetary Positions and Transits

The ancient art of Kundali astrology, also known as Janam Patri, is a complex and intricate system that reveals the secrets of our destiny and the cosmic forces that shape our lives. At the heart of this mystical practice lies the intricate dance of planetary positions and transits, which play a crucial role in determining the course of our lives. The positions of the planets at the exact time and place of our birth, as recorded on our birth chart or Kundali, hold the key to understanding our personality, strengths, weaknesses, and potential.
The movement of the planets, as they transit through the zodiac, also has a profound impact on our lives. Their positions can influence our emotions, relationships, career, and overall well-being. For instance, a planetary transit can bring about a period of stability and growth, or it can trigger a series of challenges and upheavals. By understanding the significance of planetary positions and transits, one can gain valuable insights into the unfolding of their life journey.
Through our free Pandit Ji astrology consultations, we offer a unique opportunity to unravel the mysteries of your Kundali and gain a deeper understanding of the celestial forces that shape your life.

Viktor Burnout Romanov ( pyromaniac breacher )
Name: Burnout Real Name: Viktor Romanov Age: 29 Home World: Salvo
Backstory:
Viktor Romanov, known as Burnout, was born into a world of chaos and violence on the lawless planet of Salvo. From a young age, Viktor endured a childhood filled with pain and suffering at the hands of his sadistic father. Their home was a den of torment, where screams of agony echoed in the darkness and fear reigned supreme.
But amidst the darkness, Viktor found solace in one thing: fire. From the flickering flames of their meager hearth to the roaring infernos that consumed their broken home, fire held a mesmerizing allure for Viktor. It was a symbol of power, of destruction, of rebirth.
Tragedy struck when their father’s sadistic impulses reached new heights. In a fit of depraved cruelty, he tortured Viktor’s younger sister, Anya, with a red-hot branding iron, leaving her with agonizing burns that marred her fragile body. Despite Viktor’s desperate attempts to intervene, his father reveled in Anya’s suffering, feeding off her pain like a ravenous beast.
The final act of cruelty came when Viktor’s father forced him to watch as Anya, his beloved younger sister, died in front of him, her screams of agony haunting him long after her life had slipped away. In that moment, something inside Viktor snapped. His grief turned to rage, a seething inferno that threatened to consume him whole.
Fueled by his burning hatred, Viktor plotted his revenge. He waited until his father was in a drunken stupor, then doused him in gasoline as he slept, the smell of fuel mingling with the stench of alcohol. With a single match, Viktor ignited the gasoline, watching with cold satisfaction as his father’s screams filled the night air.
But even as his father’s screams faded into the night, Viktor found no solace in his vengeance. The void left by Anya’s death remained, a gaping wound that could never be healed. His heart, once filled with love for his sister, now overflowed with a dark, gnawing emptiness that threatened to consume him from within.
Haunted by the memories of that fateful night, Viktor’s grief and guilt transformed into something darker. He embraced his newfound identity as Burnout, a merciless force of destruction driven by his insatiable love for fire. With each passing day, his fascination with flames grew stronger, until it consumed him completely, transforming him into a merciless villain who reveled in the agony of his victims.
When The Syndicate offered him a chance to unleash his fury on the grand stage of the Apex Games, Burnout saw it as an opportunity to indulge his darkest desires and claim his rightful place as the ultimate purveyor of pain and torment. Now, as Burnout, he unleashes his fiery fury on the battlefield, delighting in the screams of his opponents as he seeks to establish himself as the most feared competitor in the arena.
Passive: scorching endurance Burnout affinity with fire grants him resistance to incoming fire damage. Additionally, when burnout takes fire damage, he gains a temporary boost to movement speed and reload speed.
Tactical: inferno grenade Cool down: 20 seconds Description: burnout throws a specialized fire grenade that explodes on impact, creating a small area of intense flames that deal damage over time to enemies caught within its radius.
Ultimate Ability: ASHBRINGER Start damage: 10 per tick, after burn last for five seconds 5 per tick Cooldown 3 minutes
Description: burnout channels the full power of his flamethrower, unleashing a devastating torrent of fire that engulfs the battlefield in flames.
In-Game Effect: When activated, burnout flamethrower becomes supercharged, emitting an intense stream of flames that sweep across a wide area in front of him. The flames ignite anything in their path, dealing massive damage to enemies caught within the inferno.
Visual: burnout flamethrower emits a bright, fiery glow as he activates his ultimate. Flames surge from the nozzle, growing in intensity and range as burnout sweeps the flamethrower from side to side, covering a large area in front of him with roaring fire.
Gameplay Impact: Enemies caught in the path of the flames take significant damage over time, and those who remain within the inferno are quickly incinerated. The ultimate ability is particularly effective in close-quarters combat situations or when enemies are clustered together, making it a powerful tool for area denial and crowd control. However, burnout is vulnerable while using his ultimate, as he cannot use his other abilities or defend himself effectively, so timing and positioning are crucial for maximum effectiveness.

Come Jan. 28, we know what happened.
u/RobinhoodApp broke the law and manipulated markets to let @Citadel's Billionaires out of their short position.
Fuck us, right?
No. Fuck that.
When this $FFIE movement first popped up a few days ago, I didn't get it.
Who cares about another EV stock, I naively thought?
But now I understand. It's not about the letter of what happened, it's about the spirit of financial freedom forever.
$FFIE was chosen as the face of this movement because, as Elon Musk likes to say, "Fate loves irony."
And THERE COULD BE, nothing more ironic than a luxury EV company, heavily shorted (like Tesla once was), eventually surpassing Tesla one day in the $FFIE Future due to the freedoms facilitated by the very platform its eccentric founder purchased to preserve.
Here's the kicker: $FFIE is 95% shorted. That means the suits need to buy back 95% of the shares.
The issue is, there aren't enough shares to cover. We own them. They're trapped.
All we have to do is hold. Not even buy. Just hold.
This is a bloody, bloody war of attrition - and every ounce of your psyche will be tempted by the devil themselves.
This is about much more than Robinhood and Citadel.
We have the opportunity to break the spirit of financial terrorists forever.
By being so successful in this MOASS (Mother of All Short Squeezes), we will make them realize we will always find the next $GME.
The machine is our target, $FFIE is but our vessel.
For the first time in our lives, we have a chance to escape the threat of absolute despotism that the boomers have created with their unconscious fugue state and algorithms to spread it's consequences.
No longer will we be held captive by these bumbling fucking retards that call themselves "adults."
The time has come for a financial revolution, and with the $FFIE stock, WE intend to deliver you this message, cocksuckers.
While they prepare more financial terrorism and shut our com lines down (roaringkitty), we are alert and are dynamically re-positioning our message and tactics. This is all out war. You have no idea what you just woke up.
Prepare to learn what "applying financial discipline to a market" looks like.
Follow me and share this to every soldier you know or texted about $FFIE.
We are at war. This is not a game or a drill.
I will do all that I can to make sure this message spreads through the red Sea.
Our advantage here is the fact that every fish swims in two oceans.

$FFIE Stocktwits chat: https://stocktwits.com/symbol/FFIE

Topic: Intro
Aid: Introduce yourself Coach
Rush: Hi currently working for CNOW my name is Yoon Heewon Rush of Once Again. The name Once Again is still a bit weird for me to refer to myself as but this is us.
NineK: Is your logo a space ship?
Rush: No it's a Tracer symbol
NineK: Honestly this trailer is really well made
Rush: I was shocked when I saw this video for the first time why did they use this (his Dallas intro)
Aid: I laughed at that too I know Rush hates that video of him a lot lol
NineK: Oh so there's another assistant coach. Aid you were thrown away
Aid: I know. It's cause I don't speak Chinese
NineK: Wow so the O and A for Once Again is in the logo. This is really well made. Guess you can never change the name.
Aid: So Rush this team is all Chinese how did you as the sole Korean plan this out?
Rush: I didn't plan anything. They called and I answered.
Aid: Oh wow. But wouldn't a full Chinese team go for a Chinese Coach?
Rush: C'mon we're on different levels (Korean coaches). Either way they lost their servers and no new talent allowed to funnel in so they mustve wanted as much help catching up as soon as possible is probably why they wanted me?
NineK: It is quite the impactful combination of players and Coach they've gone for
Aid: How was China's response to this release?
Rush: It's better than Koreas reponse. They're acting like I'm an Overwatch Deity. I'm getting talked a lot about because I'm the outlier to be honest.
Aid: If you do well with this team won't Korea roast you for not being able to perform in the OWWC but doing well with these guys?
NineK: That's true if you don't do well you might get roasted too.
Rush: You might he right. But people can slip every once in a while. Who has never fallen and tripped I. Their life?
Topic 2: Guxue
Aid: Guxue is really good isn't he?
Rush: He really is. His monkey is like if Fearless is the Korean Monkey God, then Guxue is his match for China
Aid: You especially know your stuff when it comes to Winston too
Rush: I absolutely acknowledge his Winston play. I was watching scrims yesterday and was thinking "Oh guxue Winston is so good"
(Asked by chat whether Rush invented the reaper comps with kiriko)
Rush: Yeah I thought he was good so I asked my guys to play him instead of Tracer and then an hour later our opponents decided to mirror it
NineK: I'd actually figured he might be good as well but when no one was using him I pretended he sucked for the sake of the game
Rush: Honestly we figured he was usable in a lot of situations during our time on Paris together NineK
NineK: I really wanted that to stay buried cause the hero is no fun but when you brought it out I thought "it's over"
Topic 3: Shy
Aid: I was so scared of Shy when we played against him. He was so scary in mechanics
Rush: His aim is really amazing for sure but he still needs a lot of work. His mechanics are top tier but his macro overwatch play still needs some work
Aid: Like so his aim is good but doesn't know his Timings for the flow of the game?
NineK: Yeah like priority or timing.
Rush: It isn't really a Shy issue honestly nearly all of them have this issue. It's probably why they've always been getting 2nd off just mechanics. This gets fixed they're going to be very good.
Topic 4: Leave
NineK: Was Leave always a hitscan? From what I've known he's switched from hitscan to projectile back and forth.
Rush: From what I've seen he isn't pure projectile or pure hitscan like he's good at all of it but not like a master hitscan like Shy for instance. He's kind of a unique case
Topic 5: Lengsa and Mmonk
Aid: Alright let's talk about these healers cause I think they're amazing. They're good at keeping each other up while doing their job. If your healers suck you can't win. They're good at mercy and They're good at Lucio.
NineK: I don't know how good their Kiriko is
Aid: But it looks like with how aggressive Guxue is they like the Ana
NineK: They're very good I've always felt that.
Topic 6: Faraway
Aid: He was in line with these players for OWWC wasn't he? Is there a reason he didn't make the current roster for Once Again?
Rush: As far as I Know this player is scrimming with another team
Aid: I guess they were always going for 5 then
NineK: He might have just wanted to be a starter as well
Rush: Doubling up on Tank is the only role you see excess on anymore. Three healers isn't that common nowadays
Topic 7: Space Station Gaming & Hadi
(I guess cause they were talking about solo tanking Hadi got brought up?)
Rush: If you're going to keep talking about Hadi this Hadi Rein that please come back with that after they actually win something with that Rein. He's never won with that Rein. I've won with Benbest I've won with Fearless Rein as well. Win and then start talking about it please.
Aid: Oh he's getting started again on the West
Rush: Also he isn't even the play maker for that team anyways it's their flex support what's his name
NineK: Landon
Rush: Landon? Yeah he's the carry he's way better than Hadi. He's a fucking psycho with how hard he supports
NineK: He is really really good.
Topic 8: Other Esports World Cup Opponents
Aid: Who do you think here poses the biggest threat?
Rush: Hmmmmmm
Aid: Okay let's flip it whose very beatable?
Rush: Falcons is very easy
NineK: Ooh
Aid: What about Yeti and FTG?
Rush: Yeti... Donghak is too scary. I can't read what he's going to do so he's too scary. Falcons play style is very obvious.
NineK: FTG plays too slow for you?
Rush: I don't care about them at all. Honestly they've had a lot of time to cook so they might be a lot better.
Topic 9: Q&A
Aid: Whats the meta you hope for most?
Rush: Probably off history it's Winston meta
Aid: Whats the strengths of Chinese overwatch or at least your team
Rush: They've played together historical a lot so they're very good at working with each other
NineK: I really like them cause they seem very hungry to win. Like they desperately want to be the best and I love it.
NineK: Let's talk about Jecse (guess he was in chat)
Rush: At the time I picked him up he was basically the only viable choice remaining and I yelled at him a lot to coach him. Now he's gotten a lot older he's harder to mold
NineK: It isn't too late for you Aid try being a player again
Aid: No it's too late for me
Rush: When he would fill in to scrim sometimes I could see him struggle a lot. Like he would miss his beat timing and all the players would turn around to glare at him
Aid: They'd be like "cmon coach"
Rush: The unfortunate thing about supports main or flex support is that they're the ones on defense essentially so any mistakes they make are extremely visible especially because if you overlap support ultimates it becomes a mess
NineK: Burdensome spot. Like being a defender or goalkeeper in soccer
Aid: A strat you started in OW that you're really proud of or that did well?
Rush: Probably Orisa in OW1 I made her relevant. There was a popularized thing for Numbani bit I did Anubis Gibraltr and like a defensive Orisa strat for like every map
Aid: This was a shit comp?
Rush: Zarya Bastion. He won like everything with that. We initially did Sigma Bastin and then threw it away for Zarya Bastion thinking this was better cause we beat all the Asian teams with it. Then we went to the tourney and got trashed.
Aid: Your favorite player you coached?
Rush: I basically love all the players I've coached though?
Aid: If you had to pick one though?
Rush: None of them I love them all
Aid: Okay reverse your least favorite player you coached?
NineK: Like that makes you angry you wasted that time on them and would never do it again if you had the chanceM
Rush:....
Aid: Doesn't someone come to mind yes or no?
Rush: (muffled) MCD
NineK & Aid: (cracking up) He's joking guys they're actually pretty friendly
Rush: I want everyone to not misunderstand I don't hate him as a person but I can't do anything about you not being good at the game.
NineK: Coach hates bad players
Aid: Well he's answering just as a coach
NineK: Well of course skill is most important for a coach obviously. Good personality? Useless
Rush: Please don't misunderstand I actually like him.
Aid: Any final words?
Rush: I hope everyone enjoys watching us at Saudi World Cup. I'll make sure to destroy South Korea.
