2024.05.19 06:27 coolindividual8 Questioning Grad School since I can’t build connections with people

Hey folks!
It has been a dream of mine to go to grad school because I love learning.
Cutting to the chase, I recently finished undergrad. Didn’t make any relationships with profs. and not even friends. I’m generally very closed off.
This has been making me question going to grad school. If I can’t make friends and build relationships with the people in my program then my experience will be half assed. I genuinely want to get close to profs and make friends I just don’t know how to.
And for anyone who mentions things like therapy I can’t afford it so pls leave advice and give cheap recommendations

2024.05.19 06:26 SpokaneNeighbor Solar Node Prototype Complete

Solar Node Prototype Complete
Ok so the first version/prototype is done. Starting from the top
Top Cap - fits onto Plastic Pipe with a relatively loose fit. I wanted it loose so I could use electrical tape to create a nice tight seal between the cap and the pipe. The Top Cap also has a eyelet on the interior to allow a string to be tied to it. The other end of the string attaches to the 19007 Board Mount allowing you to pull the radio and batteries out of the pipe with the lid. The Top Cap fits around the outside of the pipe and has a curved/pointed top to promote water shedding in a hope to avoid ingress through the 3d printed plastic.
Pull String - I used serving which is used in archery. It is a strong thin string which I believe to be more than adequate for the use. A good braided fishing line would work fine as well. I tied a loop using the double fisherman's knot and looped it through the eyelet on the Top Cap and the 19007 Board Mount.
19007 Board Mount - this is a very simple mount for the Rak Wisblock Base Board Gen 2 (item number rak19007). This mount utilizes the included mounting screws that the 19007 board comes with. You do have to tap the holes with the screws and one of the holes is a little tight and needs adjustment. The 19007 Board Mount with 18650 Holder includes a holder for an 18650 battery. The battery holder has fins on it to keep the battery holder centered in the pipe. There are currently no terminals on the battery holder so I just stripped wire and used electrical tape to hold the wire in place until I come up with a good solution. This version does not have any way to Mount any antennas. The PCB LoRa antenna cable fits nicely between the USB plug and the reset/user button and the antenna just kinda stands up from there. I used the 19007 Board Mount with 18650 Holder on the prototype.
18650 Battery Extension - this is a battery holder that can attach to the bottom of another battery holder. These allow for an infinite amount of expansion of battery capacity. The pipe I used was relatively short and I think might be capable of holding 4 batteries at maximum. I did not use this in the prototype.
Plastic Pipe - the pipe I used was a leg from a cheap plastic shelf I believe was purchased from home depot. I will confirm the exact product later and include the current price. I believe the shelf comes with 12 legs.
Bottom Cap - the Bottom Cap has a flat bottom but the interior is like a cone. The center is only 1 layer thick to allow easy puncturing or slicing. The idea is to allow moisture to drain but not allow critters to crawl inside. There is an option for a basic Bottom Cap, a Bottom Cap with Wire Hole, and a Bottom Cap with Solar Panel Mount. The Bottom Cap with Solar Panel Mount also has a wiring hole. The Solar Panel Mount is a straight ripoff from "Magnetic Phone Mounting Arm v1 -MagSafe Compatible" by "Mirkosa" on Makerworld. ( https://makerworld.com/models/395748 ) I cut the arm from this model and pasted it onto the cap. I used the Bottom Cap with Solar Panel Mount.
Solar Panel Mount Extension Arm - this is an unmodified arm from "Magnetic Phone Mounting Arm v1 -MagSafe Compatible" by "Mirkosa" on Makerworld. ( https://makerworld.com/models/395748 ) this can be added between the Bottom Cap with Solar Panel Mount and the Solar Panel Holder if you need the panel to be further away from the node. You can add as many of these as needed to locate the Solar Panel appropriately. These are not used in the prototype.
Solar Panel Holder - this holds in place the Solar Panel and consists of 2 parts. The Solar Panel Mount Arm again utilizes an arm from "Magnetic Phone Mounting Arm v1 -MagSafe Compatible" by "Mirkosa" on Makerworld. ( https://makerworld.com/models/395748 ) which was cut and pasted onto my design. The second part is The Solar Panel Frame. These parts slide together and snap/lock into place. I want to design a way to expand this part for situation where more than 1 panel are required. Also the snap/lock mechanism requires a little refining.
Things I want to add/change
add an expansion or redesign the 19007 Board Mount to secure the PCB antenna and design an optional way to utilize an SMA connector.
Fix minor geometry mistakes on the Solar Panel Frame which do not print well
Design some sort of wire management
Redesign 19007 Board Mount with 18650 Holder to add "proper" battery terminals
Redesign 18650 Battery Extension to remove weak point and add "proper" battery terminals

2024.05.19 06:16 gojofukirin Mother of pearl inlay?

I’m in Chiang Mai looking for a mother of pearl inlay box. I see quite a few cheap ones where they draw with pen over the mother of pearl and then seal in some kind of plastic. But I am looking for the traditional artisan ones - where it’s hand cut and polished. I know there are still artisans in northern Thailand making objects in this style, but I have not been able to find somewhere to buy one…

2024.05.19 06:13 Latter_Calendar_6621 Lost wedding ring in michigan

I have a story and I am hoping someone can tell me the best way to find my wedding ring.
I purchased my wife a used riding lawnmower and had to remove the deck to get it home. Upon putting the deck back on I hooked my ring and put it down on the mower. After getting the deck back on and before I realized I forgot my ring my wife had cut two acres of the grass here. I have tried looking, my wife and daughter have now spent two days looking. We even used the cheap $100 metal detector we found when we moved into this house back in February. I am lost and cannot figure out what to do.
This ring signifies a turning point in my life. Three weeks after marrying my wife our house burned down. The only thing we had were the clothes on our backs and I found my ring sitting on my dresser after the fire. (Family home left to me for providing care for elderly parents until they passed in 2013&2015). Got fired from my job April 1st due to my narcolepsy acting up. And through every one of my pitfalls my wife has remained optimistic and by my side. The one symbol of us is now lost in my yard. The messed up part is that this is the first time we cut the grass since moving in and I lost my wedding band. I normally do not wear jewelry as I have been a machine operator and welder going on 15 years now. So when I took the ring off it never seemed out of place that it was not on my hand.
I am wondering the best way to find this ring or the best inexpensive metal detector and how to operate it to find this. If there is anyone in the Belleville mi area that wants to look I am ok with that too. I am just sick knowing I lost this. The ring was made from my father’s wedding band and since the fire it is all I have left of my parents (reused gold that my wife paid too much to have the ring made. It is a single diamond with our initials inscribed with our wedding date on it)
Any way anyone can point me in the right direction let me know. I will update this if any updates are needed. If this is not allowed sorry and please delete.

2024.05.19 06:01 LucyAriaRose AITA for telling my Ex-Wife's Fiancee the truth about our divorce?

I am NOT the Original Poster. That is u/SparkMandrill90. He posted in AITAH
Mood Spoiler: Good ending.
Original Post: May 9, 2024
My (33M) ex-wife (30F) and I got divorced 3 years ago. In college, we worked at the same restaurant, that's where we met. We were together for 7 years, and married for a little over 3 and half. We divorced because she cheated twice.
2 years into our marriage I discover she is having an affair with a former classmate. I collect enough evidence and confront her. She confesses everything. The affair was about 2 months long. This was a really terrible time, and was really hard to work through with her. You can call me an idiot, but I am a forgiving person. I do believe in 2nd chances and that people can change. We agreed to reconcile. We did the work. We had marriage counseling. We read some of the books, she went no contact with classmate right away, open phone policy, we told our parents. She was doing the right things and our relationship was recovering.
1 year into our reconciliation, her Aunt dies. I am very busy with work and cannot attend the services as they are on Thursday and Friday, back in her hometown 5 hours away. Her parents and brother no longer live there, so she stayed with a good friend from HS. I had met this friend a few times and was comfortable with that.
On Saturday morning my wife text me that the car was loaded, and she was about to start making the drive home. About an hour after that I got a Facebook message from the friend. Who stated she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she just let this go, but informed me that my wife had gone out Friday night with some old friends from HS. The friend thought nothing of this until she discovered my wife had left her phone behind, and that she didnt come back until the following morning. I had gotten a text that Friday night from my wife that she was going to bed early since the past few days had been emotionally draining.
I confronted my wife soon as she got home. She was really hesitant to tell me anything so I lied to her and told her if we were going to work through this, I needed to know everything like the last time. That got her to confess that she had gone out, and had gone home with an old friend from high school. She said they didn't have sex but did do "stuff" that I won't go into detail about here. It didn't matter, once I got enough of the truth I left for my parents house. That week, my Dad called my landlord and paid all the termination fees and got me out of the lease. We went and got my stuff while she was at work. My parents set me up with a friend of theirs that was a divorce attorney and he cut me a deal. Took about 7 months for divorce to go final.
That was 3 years ago. I have an awesome girlfriend, and am doing well. This past weekend I got a Facebook message from a guy who is now engaged to my ex-wife. He introduced himself and said he was probably just being crazy, but he wanted to know why we had gotten divorced. He said he had broached the subject a few times, and she always "gets weird." She had told him we had divorced because we grew apart, but mostly she just deflects or is really really vague.
I told him the truth, and offered evidence if he would like. He declined, and thanked me for my time and story.
A day later I get a phone call from a local, but unknown number. I answer and it's my ex-wife. She is really upset and asking me why I am trying to ruin her future. I get her to calm down and talk. She says her fiancee has asked for some space and is staying with his parents this week. That he is saying he needs to reevaluate their relationship. She wants to know why I told him all about their past and why I'm still punishing her. She tells me she's not that person anymore, and has done all this work, and been in therapy. That she deserves another chance and I'm being petty and hateful. There were a few generic insults thrown. I got a little pissed and told her if she really changed for the better she would have been upfront with him about heour past and owned up to cheating in her prior marriage, and then gone about showing her fiancee that she was ready to be a worthy partner to him unlike she was with me. Instead she tried to lie and hide the truth, and now it's blowing up in her face again. She said a few choice words and hung up.
I haven't heard anything since. I told my girlfriend and she reassured how I handled it. But I find myself feeling guilty. I still believe in 2nd chances and that people can change. While I would have felt wrong lying to the guy, I wonder if I should have handled the whole thing differently or just not responded. If she is truly different and this is just a blip, I don't want to be the thing that prevents her from finding happiness, but also believe I'm not what's hurting her engagement. AITA?
Relevant Comments:
Commenter: The fiancé called you and asked you what happened, you are under no obligation to lie to him for her sake, as a matter of fact, anything that you told him besides the truth would be suspect as you have no idea what she told him. Don’t feel bad, she is only feeling the consequences of her actions. NTA. Kiss your wife, tell her you love her, and live a good life together
OOP: Yeah, I don't know what she's told him exactly. He made it sound like she will do anything NOT to talk about it. He did say the most he's ever gotten out of her when bringing it up was "We grew apart". Which is a lie in itself.
Commenter: NTAH, imagine if you had lied to the guy and said you had just grown apart. Would you want thar on your conscience? I’d have told him rather than been part of a lie that will lead to someone else getting hurt. She hasn’t changed at all.
OOP: No, you're right, I would not have lied to him. I think I was largely wondering if I should have just told him "it wasn't my place and he needs to get it from his fiancee", but after the amount of feedback, I'm feeling really good with my decision.
Commenter: NTA. I’m like you. I would feel guilty because at a glance it seems like being honest about your experience caused your ex to potentially lose her relationship. However you are holding yourself accountable for someone else’s actions. Your ex cheated. Your ex withheld information from her current partner. Your ex is still avoiding accountability. You are not responsible for her actions. Anything that happens in her relationship is her problem, not yours.
OOP: Thank you for this, I got to remind myself of that. I hate causing others pain, so I'm glad to hear from someone who can relate
There is no consensus bot on AITAH, but a majority of votes are NTA
Update Post: May 12, 2024 (3 days later)
I really didn't expect to give an update because I assumed I'd never hear anything from my ex wife or her fiancee again. First Post
Last night I received a very very long text from my ex-wife. I'll summarize it below, because it was long and did have personal details.
She started off by apologizing for the way she talked to me the other day and said I didn't deserve to be insulted like that. She then went onto explain herself, and her situation.
She started by acknowledging that this whole situation wasn't my concern or business, and apologized for me being drawn into it, and said she was embarrassed that their issues were being "aired out." She said it was her fault this happened. Since she began dating her fiancee she has hidden the details of our marriage out of shame and guilt. For the most part it was never brought up until he proposed a couple months ago. That's when he first really asked and seemed to want to know. She said she wasn't ready to deal with that and kept trying to rug sweep it, but he persisted. This is when she started therapy (so apparently she's only had a few therapy sessions and all are recent). She never thought he would reach out to me.
She then stated that none of this was my fault, and apologized for blaming me. She said she should have faced this a long time ago, gotten therapy for ruining our marriage, and come to terms with her own feelings of guilt.
Then she apologized for her affairs, and way I was treated during our marriage.
The last part was just her stating that she was not expecting a response back, wishing me the best, and saying that hopefully her and her fiancee will never "bother me" again.
This morning when I got up and read this, I sent back a brief message:
"I appreciate the apologies and am glad you are working on yourself. I have moved on from what happened, and hope you can move on from this. The only bit of advice I have is I think this text needs to go to your fiancee."
She responded back just by saying "Thank you" and that he's received far more and far longer texts.
I doubt there'll ever be another update. I actually hope there isn't. I don't believe in closure, but I will say it was refreshing, to hear her apologize without an asterisk. That's what I always got before, the "I'm so sorry, I just drank too much and..." "I'm so sorry, I was just really depressed and stressed and...". Doesn't mean a whole lot really, maybe just unexpected for me, but it was nice to hear an apology that has no excuse trailing behind it. I'm going to enjoy the rest of my day now and leave all this behind me.
Wanted to address a small sets of commenters from the first post though. I had several people hung up on that my Dad paid my termination fees and got me out of my lease. He did that of his own accord, to take a lot of the stress of the separation off me. I included that to show how I had a support system that was behind me, and willing to help in any way no questions asked. It really helped me through the healing process, and I got back on my feet pretty quickly after. I'm sorry if you don't have anyone there for you when you're at your lowest, but it doesn't make you better or manlier or whatever you were going for when you made those comments. Having to face any and every challenge on your own, is really just kind of a sad existence in my opinion. I hope that changes for you and you'll find someone to be in your corner someday.
Relevant Comments:
Commenter: She seems to be taking some accountability for her actions which is a surprise if she is sincere. They almost never take any responsibility for anything.
Go on and have a wonderful life.
OOP: Yep that's what I'm going to do.
I don't have much thought on the texts she sent me, I mean this whole thing is really nothing more than a weird few days in my otherwise routine life. But I will admit, it was nice to hear her take some accountability without making an excuse right after. That had never happened before.
Commenter: I honestly don't see why people were jumping on you for having someone in your corner to help you out, seems like a weird thing to get hung up on.
OOP: That's how I felt too, but there were a handful of people who were trying to imply that I was some sort of crybaby man child because my Dad took care of that for me.
Commenter: What accountability exactly do you think that she is taking here? She’s basically just playing defense to try to save her current relationship. It’s easy to be honest when there’s no other choice.
OOP: Her motivations are her own.
But to address your questions on accountability. When she first got caught having an affair, and we decided to work it out. She did everything "right." She came to every counseling appointment and fully participated, she read the books we got, she gave me every password, and so on. She would apologize profusely, but every time she would also give an excuse along with it. "I am so sorry I did this to us, I don't know what I was thinking, I was just so caught up in the validation" or the attention, or I was just so depressed and he was just there, and so on. She would put her self down, beg for forgiveness, and each time there was always just a little "asterisk" added on. A little reason/excuse/deflection as to why she did it. An outside factor that pushed her into it to some degree
When she did the second time, there wasn't much discussion because I ended things and left as soon as I got enough confession out of her. But when she was bombarding me with texts, emails, snaps, you name it trying to explain and beg, and ask for one more chance and all that, she apologized a 1000 times, all 1000 times had its little "asterisk.". I was just so drunk I wasn't thinking, I really thought he just wanted to keep hanging out, we didn't have sex (whether this was true or not I really don't care) and so on.
I'm going to assume you've never dealt with a betrayal like this, and I hope you never do, but when you are a person like me, who has been betrayed, even years later, to finally get an apology that has no excuses, no asterisks attached to it, it is incredibly refreshing. I truly thought it would never happen, thought she would never be capable.
Now, it doesn't mean much, our lives haven't crossed paths in 2.5 years, and may never again. I'm not going to be reaching out and I assume neither is she, but for that to actually happen, I'll take the win today.

Thanks to u/queenlegolas and u/Direct-Caterpillar77 for suggesting this BoRU
Editor’s Note: added paragraph breaks for readability
Trigger Warnings: verbal abuse, ableism
Original Post: May 11, 2024
I (F , 36) have been married to my husband Brad (M , 40) for the last 6 years. I have a daughter (F,10) from a previous relationship (we were engaged when he abandoned me when I was pregnant to be with his coworker and eventually disappeared).
Brad loves and adores my daughter and my daughter loves him so much . I’m currently pregnant with our first baby (my second baby) . Brad is a paraplegic. He was in a car accident when he was 21. He has since his accident went back to school and currently works as university prof . He is super independent and possibly the best man I could ever married .
My sister is getting married and today she announced that the venue she picked is a heritage building . I told her then it won’t be wheelchair accessible… she rolled her eyes and said “the world doesn’t revolves around Brad , it’s not his day ! It’s mine” . I said I understand but I’m not leaving him behind then . She started screaming that I’m trying to steal attention because everyone will ask where is bride’s sister . Her fiancé suggested having the ceremony at the heritage building but have the reception at another venue that way Brad can join us . My sister said no .
I talked to Brad , he thinks I should go and he and my daughter can have daddy /daughter date and he will take care of her (it’s a child free wedding and we were initially going to ask Brad’s mom to watch my daughter) . He thinks it’s not a big deal and I should just go and enjoy the wedding . I feel very bad and don’t want to go but my sister will be so upset . AITAH if I don’t go to my sister’s wedding because she is excluding my husband ?

Still_Actuator_8316: Do what feels right to you.
I can see you love your husband very much. And you have every right to be mad that your sister wants to exclude him.
And serious. How hard is it to rent a temporary ramp to be put in place so he can go. But since I don't know the stair situation I can give a pass about that. But there are options
OOP: It’s an old heritage building with lots of stairs unfortunately. I feel really bad for my husband tbh
bluefurniture: I like the idea of the Dad and daughter day. Are you in the wedding party? How does the heritage building get away with skirting ADA laws.? Your sister is awful and at least the fiance is empathetic. don't be surprised if there is no wedding.
OOP: I’m not in the wedding party . Sadly it’s 2024 and we still don’t have something like ADA in Canada . Since it’s a heritage building they don’t care about accessibility. Yes , my husband once a month has a daddy/daughter date . They go to different restaurants each time and do any activities she chooses :)
Great-Asparagus8788: As a Mom of a Differently Abled Daughter- I have to say #1 your sister didn't turn overnight. She's been enabled in her ROTTEN behavior her whole life. Your parents should be ashamed. Your Hubs sounds awesome though! You don't have to ask permission to turn your back on a dumpster fire. Point out it's on fire and the privledge of you ,your husband and their grandbabies presence will be restored when the fire is out. And then leave.
OOP: My parents pay for my sister’s big wedding . They did pay for my at home reception when we eloped as well ( they invited everyone ( about 14 people ) to a restaurant ). I talked to them . They said they do love Brad but it’s my sister’s day and they can’t force her to change her mind . Yes I’m disappointed at them . I just don’t understand how you can claim you respect someone yet tell him to stay home ! You are not welcome …my husband is used to not being included so he is okay . I just can’t get over it

. Thank you everyone for your kind words and advice.
It’s Mother’s Day today and of course my husband and my daughter decided to spoil me rotten :) we went for Mother’s Day lunch to my parents. My sister and her fiancé, Bob (his name is Babak , he is Iranian but everyone calls him Bob) came too.
Brad , Bob and my dad were in the backyard Bbqing and chatting . My mom and my sister were in the kitchen talking . My sister went on and on about her wedding plans . I asked her if there is any possibility that she would consider Bob’s suggestion? She can have her civil ceremony , Iranian ceremony , and all her pictures done in her dream venue then have the reception which is just dinner , dance and cake somewhere else . I told her it means alot to me if she makes this accommodation for Brad.
My sister LOST it! Started screaming that I have always been jealous of her and now trying to ruin her dream wedding . She said I’m jealous because I never had a big wedding and had to elope because I had a kid out of wedlock (I didn’t have to ! It was our decision to have a stress free elopement). She also said it was my choice to marry “a cripple” guy so why should her wedding plans has to change . My mom told her to stop but she kept on going . I told her then I’m not coming . I told Brad and my daughter that we were leaving . I couldn’t stay there anymore . Her entitlement sickens me .
Now my parents are mad at me for even suggesting because “your sister is under stress”. My dad thinks I acted immature by leaving and mom says I overreacted because I’m pregnant and hormonal ! I’m so disappointed at my parents too for not standing up to my sister . My plan is to go NC with my sister. I don’t even know who she is anymore . So no happy update . I just cut my sister out of my life and will NOT be going to her wedding. Sorry for typos I’m very emotional right now

RNGinx3: SaveBob
Your sister is a jerk, and your parents enable and excuse her tantrums. I'd put sister on NC and parents on LC.
Swampy_63: Let them be mad. Their loss.
Your sister has shown exactly who she is. Bubbye.
Hopefully your parents will come to their senses and understand why you’re not going.
captainhyena12: Wow insult your husband calls him a cripple take shots at both you and your child for the child being born out of wedlock and then your parents have the audacity to tell you you're overreacting because you left what? How the hell does someone even have that much? Audacity and this is coming from me. Someone who admittedly at times has way too much audacity.

2024.05.19 05:25 ayden1013 Need advice on this issue.

Starting this off by saying this may be a long read.
Recently bought from a seller a gameboy advance game and as soon as i got it I knew it was a counterfeit, could not tell since the photos were taken from a distance. I did the return stating all the facts on how it's a fake and using photos from another game I own on how to know it's counterfeit. Seller then spamed me with messages about how they put in the information that it's '2nd gen' and they sell it cheap for poor kids.. Then saying I can keep it and they will refund me but after 2 to 3 days since the money is on hold and that if I can leave them positive feedback and then they will leave me the same. I had ebay support call me since it sounded odd, they told me that they have the option to refund me on the spot. I asked if me leaving negative feedback would allow them to do the same and they told me they can not. I also asked if i can report their other listings since they are fake also and they said I can because counterfeits are against their policy. I went ahead reported most of their games and then left the negative feedback since I did not want any other buyers to do the same. Seller did not like that and messaged me NONSTOP saying god is up there and may he be rightous and i promise he is up there.. They said they are leaving me a review also but they were only able to leave it as a positive. They then went on to say that they see I'm a seller also and how would i feel if i got bad feedback. I did not reply to a single message they sent me other then replying to the return message area. I told them I got off the phone with a rep and you guys have the option to refund me and that it was extremely disrespectful to use god in this.
Cut to a few minutes later since the seller is messaging every 2 seconds, i get a offer on a toy I am selling 'stupid me accepted it'. As soon as I did their payment did not go through and they asked to cancel and I did. Then they left me negative feedback immediately saying its a fake item don't buy from me. The seller of the counterfeit gameboy game logged into another account to buy from me to leave me this feedback. I had ebay call me again telling them this user is threating me with god and bad feedback and how they logged into another account to buy from me and then leave me the bad feedback. They told me to submit a repeal on it to get it removed and told me to ship the item back since the seller provided me with a label. Told ebay rep that I was also worried that the address used goes to a mall with no information on what store it is to take a return. She told me that's fine as long as I make the attempt to ship it out I'll get my refund. After the call I noticed these two accounts are leaving multiple positive feedback on each others accounts so they are using feedback extortion and then noticed there were another account's doing the same so they have about 4 to 5 different accounts.
Woke up today and ebay denied my feedback removal and also didn’t find the counterfeit games to be in violation of their policy. I then messaged ebay for business on fb but did not hear anything back. Not sure if there is useful information some one could help me with or if I should just leave this alone? Thank you.

2024.05.19 04:51 MrsRegert Warner Brother’s Discovery Napkin Investment Thesis [In Case We Cash Out Soon]

I view Operating Cash Flow (OCF) as the bloodline of any entertainment media business.
Warner Brother's Discovery (WBD) manages to pull in some $7+ Billion annual OCF. With a current market value of $20 Billion, WBD sells on the market 3 times its annual OCF. That's pretty fucking cheap.
The question is why so "cheap"?
Well, maybe it's because of WBD's:
However, I think the market has overstated these concerns. With my super inexperienced opinion I think: - WBD's $7+ Billion in OCF is sustainable - Interest rates will stay at a reasonable level (a.k.a no Paul Volcker) - The cable ecosystem won't implode before substaintial debt repayment - The cable ecosystem won't implode before direct-to-consumer becomes a material replacement
The key insight I have over other investors is:
WBD is a business that is saddled, but not funded, by debt, nor primarily funded by equity (cough cough AMC and GME cough).
Sadly, currently I can't say the same about PARA: - Most PARA debt reduction is net of asset sales - If Shari Redstone succeeds in the Skydance merger, then essentially PARA is being funded by new equity to pay down debt.
Of course, for PARA, this won't matter if the turnaround succeeds. However, the current status quote isn't the prettiest -- as the case with most turnarounds (otherwise you wouldn't call it a "turnaround").
For most people, the investment thesis on PARA is more of a sum of the parts (SoTP). If Shari does the "right thing" and get's EVERYBODY a nice payday, then our SoTP will have come to fruition.
So why this post?
Should we cash out, my next "deep value" investment will be WBD. You should be aware though of some risk factors: - Interest rates rocket higher - WBD loses the NBA rights - Top-line decreases in the cable ecosystem is fine, but if the bottom-line is materially affected by cord-cutting then economies scale is lost and the cable-ecosystem is fundamentally broken.
You might wonder, why not Disney? Valuation. Why not AMC? I'm not an APE. Why not Netflix? Valuation.
Of course though, I always keep half my "fuck you" money in the index. Stock picking is just a hobby...
Edit: Also, WBD is Seth Klarman approved who intern is Warren Buffet approved.
Edit: Moreover, Michael Burry has been in and out of the stock more than once.

2024.05.19 04:50 Lipmoshacook Considering going to drama school as an "older" student who is ten years into an acting career and already has professional credits -- am I insane?

I'd really love to hear from those who attended programs at a less "conventional" age. The main factors that make me hesitant are 1. money to pay for it (obviously) 2. being the old guy 3. backtracking and losing three years of potential professional work.
I'm 28, turning 29 pretty soon, and never went to college at all. I moved straight to LA after finishing high school and have bounced around between here and NY ever since. I've booked a decent amount of work and I'm a member of both unions. I've always been in classes, but I feel as though the once-a-week scene work just isn't cutting it. I still feel as if I've never developed a real process/craft/technique. I have a bag of tricks that I defer to that I know CD's often like and I feel like that's what books me the jobs. Only thing is, it feels cheap to me. It doesn't feel artistic or fulfilling.
So, the prospect of a conservatory style program (especially in the UK) sounds really appealing: I have an addictive personality with this stuff, and being just inundated with the work every day of the week sounds perfect. Part of me also feels like I missed out on the college experience, so it could be nice to satisfy that feeling.
However, like I said, I'm worried about a lot. How in the hell I'll pay for it is one thing, but another is that while most of my classmates will be 21 - 22 when they leave the program, I'll be 32 - 33. To my 28 year old brain, that sounds oooooooooollllldddd. And the fact that I already have solid representation and have booked good jobs and seem to be on a solid career track makes me nervous to leave all that and go hang out in class for three years with a bunch of teenagers doing mask work. Let alone being seen as the *old guy* of the group.
Maybe I'm being too self-loathing about it all. I'd really love to hear from some of you who have taken a similar path. Aghhh!

2024.05.19 04:46 ZealousidealCarrot84 Should I reach out?

So I've never posted here before but this is an issue that has been sitting on my shoulders for a bit now. Recently I had a dream about a friend who I cut off last year and I've been thinking about reach out again. Things have changed but the fear I harbor just hasn't. For context unfortunately I have a long story to type. As recently I've recovered from a two year long stretch of extreme depression and well this happened during that time. Sorry.
Between the years of 2022 and 2023 my life basically spiraled down the toilet with no end in sight. One of my close friends died, my great uncle died, I lost two friends in ugly ways and honestly I'm better off from those two, and I also was stuck in an abusive (mentally, emotionally, and sexually) relationship with my now ex boyfriend. 2022 was hard. Harder than I've ever experienced and compared to that year the years of depression I'd experienced were honestly a cake walk of teenage bullshit.
The thing is I spirals so hard that at the beginning of 2023 I made an attempt on my life. I'm not proud of it. And since I've seen a few different professionals and admit I still have some therapy that I need to get. (It's just not cheap to see a therapist and a psychiatrist.) The reason this is important is because during this time we were still friends. Seemingly close friends and I talked to him a lot. Mind you my mental chaos can be hard to handle and I try to keep an open mind about people not wanna hear me go on about my misfortunes but I always have the mentality wanting them to tell me. Like let me know if I'm being to much and I'll pull back because I don't wanna overwhelm you. But this friend just let me go on and slowly seemed to just pull from me.
I felt that pull and changed tones with them. Focusing more on maybe us hanging out or how they were because I couldn't tell if it was me or if something was wrong. And I really cared about them, I still do I mean we'd been friends since middle school. We graduated high-school together back in 2015 this one someone I considered one of my best friends. But slowly I think I began to realize I wasn't theirs. It probably didn't help that we always had this will they won't that weird attraction to each other. And during this time he admitted it was still a thing but said it wouldn't work out because he considered me codependent. But even still went on to admit physical attraction to me later on which confused me more.
Regardless when all was said and done after the attempt I went and apologized to him because I'd lied and said I was okay when I wasn't. And when he told me that he knew? Well something inside me died. Something about him knowing I was tettering on the edge and just sitting and waiting because I wasn't woman enough to admit it felt weird. Because it wasn't a talk to me when you're ready it was more like if you won't just spit it out than I'm not gonna bother. With a mixture of that and his canceling of everytime we planned to hang out I let myself flip my lid. Naturally I went back and apologized but it didn't seem to have any affect anyway. Like it bad never happened. So I let myself fade away.
To this day I sometimes wonder if I even made the right choice. I mean I could have just asked him to tell me what's up. Or expressed the truth of the depth of my feelings when it felt like I was bring brushed off and the only conversations we could have were about the girls on his dating app possibly catfishing him. Or maybe I was right to assume he just didn't want me in his life anymore. I've just got myself all mixed up because he was one of the single most important people in my left to me. And the ghost of that still lingers.
TL;DR During a really depressing time a friend and I fell out of sync. Because I felt they didn't want me and my depression around anymore I made myself scarce. It's been a year but I still miss them and wonder if maybe I should grow a pair and reach out.

2024.05.19 04:25 JohannGoethe Type: 𓆎 [I6], thing: crocodile 🐊 spine; carto-phono: /km/; meaning: [?]; significance: root type of 𓆎 + 𓅓 + 𓏏 + 𓊖 or /km/ + /m/ + /t/ = Kemet, the original name of Egypt?

Type: 𓆎 [I6], thing: crocodile 🐊 spine; carto-phono: /km/; meaning: [?]; significance: root type of 𓆎 + 𓅓 + 𓏏 + 𓊖 or /km/ + /m/ + /t/ = Kemet, the original name of Egypt?
Abstract
Study of type: 𓆎 [I6], which somehow is believed to be the ”main” or first type the Egyptians used to define their country?
Egypt Name?
The name Kemet, to clarify, derives from CartoPhonetics:
https://preview.redd.it/vbb6ne7gma1d1.jpg?width=1686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8070de202f473f6c12931bcffdd5114fd9892ebd
Where:
  • 𓆎 [I6], thing: crocodile 🐊 scales”, meaning: /km/ [?]
  • 𓅓 [G17], thing: “owl 🦉”, carto-phono: /m/
  • 𓏏 [X1], thing: “bread 🍞”, carto-phono: /t/
  • 𓊖 [O49], meaning: city 🌆 or cosmos birth location
Whence:
𓆎 + 𓅓 + 𓏏 + 𓊖
Or
/km/ + /m/ + /t/ = Kemet
Meaning, supposedly, “Egypt”, based on the following gardiner definition of the so-called crocodile 🐊 spine 𓆎 [I6] type, which makes the /km/ phono, but for unknown reasons?
History
In 1850A (+105), plutarch said the Egyptians called their country the ‘chemia’ (Χημίαν), named after the black soil and black part of the eye:
Egypt, moreover, which has the blackest of soils, they call by the same name as the black portion of the eye 👁️ , ‘chemia’ (Χημίαν), and compare it to a heart.”
— Plutarch (1850A/+105), Isis and Osiris (§33)
In 137A (1818), Young, in his decoding of the assumed Cleopatra (Κλεοπάτρα) cartouche, assigned the 𓆎 [I6] type to the /k/ phonetic, because it aligned with the letter K of the name Κ-LEOPATRA, and the L aligned with the lion 🦁, as follows:
https://preview.redd.it/x93xkmjkwa1d1.jpg?width=1061&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e01c56d0b709d6b22e4c72463fe761591e23e59f
Young, rendering, from his Collective Works (pg. 24), of the name Egypt in Greek, as: Αιγυπτον (Aigypton), and Coptic, as:
ⲬHⲘⲒ (Chmi; kʰēmi) = Egypt
In A2 (1957), Gardiner defined the 𓆎 [I6] as follows:
https://preview.redd.it/8306wfx9cb1d1.jpg?width=1875&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91a02d0aa07e8a86bdd126bd7ca4edfb6329b29f
Where:
𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 𓊖 = “kmt” {carto-phono}, meaning: country of Egypt, Africa.
Discussion
We also note the following, namely that the actual stone version of 𓆎 [I6] type, as Gardiner drew it, and ASCII character made, does not even look like the 10-layered or 11-layered thing, shown on the Cleopatra cartouche, which makes the /k/ phono, according to Young, i.e there are no spiked “spines” or whatever things shown:
https://preview.redd.it/ft8yjwjv0b1d1.jpg?width=1037&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02360356a40a9a723e153e332f9057f0b06db837
Now, as it has already been semi-proved that Young’s 𓂋 [D21], thing: “mouth 👄”, assignment of the / phonetic is incorrect, because:
  1. The TombUJ number tag 100 ram head 𓍢 [V1] type is the correct / phonetic, as this matches with the Greek rho (Ρ, ρ), which also is letter R
  2. The Chinese mouth symbol 口 does not make the / phonetic, but rather is a symbol for ALL phonetics,
It would therefore seem to be probable to assert that 𓆎 [I6] type does NOT make the /k/ phonetic, nor is even likely a crocodile 🐊 anything? The Egyptians, e.g., were known to mummy crocodiles 🐊, not cut them into this: 𓆎 [I6] shape? Nor does the shape shown in stone above look like crocodile scales:
https://preview.redd.it/gru3zkhaza1d1.jpg?width=1436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8acbac256d2e124c9028f4751e959444c4128fd
In A63 (2018), Asar Imhotep, in his "The Etymology of the word Km.t 'kemet': A Critical Reexamination of the Diop-Obenga Hypothesis", talked for 15-min about how 𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 means “black land”, and NOT black people, because it has a land determinative:
  • 𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 + 𓈇 [N23] = KMT {𓆎 𓅓 𓏏} + irrigation canal
  • 𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 + 𓈘 [N36] = KMT {𓆎 𓅓 𓏏} + canal
  • 𓆎 𓅓 𓏏 + 𓊖 [O49] = KMT {𓆎 𓅓 𓏏} + [add]
On O49, Imhotep says:
”The N23 𓈇 is an irrigated land classifier. The N36 𓈘 is a canal. And then the O49 𓊖 determinative is the more popular one. Everyone interprets this as the ’cross-roads‘, but that is not the case, it actually just another variation of irrigated land.”
— Asar Imhotep (A63/2018), "The Etymology of the word Km.t (Kemet)” (6:50-7:15)
This is funny! We sure would like to see a photo of this 𓊖-shaped irrigated land? Video clip (6:15-7:28) below:
https://preview.redd.it/ercapqq4pa1d1.jpg?width=1279&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5509644e97d23d6b4a78bae7098e132177d5f496
In A69 (2024), the following YouTuber defines 𓆎 [I6] wood 🪵 as a piece of black char-coaled wood:
“The charcoaled 𓆎 [I6] wood 🪵 or crocodile 🐊 spine = /k-m/ phonetic, and means black and 𓆎 (k) 𓅓 (m) 𓏏 (t) 𓊖 = km-m-t (Kemet), with 𓊖 as the city determinative, means: black 👨🏿populace.”
— Anon (A69/2024), “Let’s Settle This: The Kemet debate, Part One” (6:22-; 16:42-): Apr 20
We went from:
  1. Black soil Plutarch (1850/+105)

  2. This is another example where we see that the entire program of CartoPhonetics based status quo Egyptology is built on a false foundation; which we will have to remedy via an EAN based NeoEgypto model.

Temu cutting board
I saw this on Temu for $25 and I was just like damn. Nice looking board for nothing. Acacia wood, never heard of it, but a quick google search found it to be fairly pricey. 3.125 bf for 25. I was just thinking in my head if it would be worth buying just for the wood. I know fancy cutting boards aren’t selling what they’re worth but jeez

2024.05.19 04:22 oneheadlite00 A Mother’s Day project for the Mrs

A Mother’s Day project for the Mrs
Nothing exotic, but thought I’d share with the class after lurking here and woodworking and soaking up what I can.
TLDR: Made the wife an acrylic painting/pouring station for Mother’s Day.
Long Version with Intro: After doing previous projects with a cheap-o hand saw miter box (new mailbox stand), a cordless circular saw (cedar planter boxes), or a borrowed radial arm saw (platform bed of own design), I’ve decided to take a stab at doing as much work with hand tools as I can.
Needed a gift idea for Mother’s Day. The Mrs had shown me some videos she’d seen online of folks doing acrylic painting, and she (we) thought it was cool but she commented on how you need a place to do it. The way our house is set up, we really don’t have a good area for doing artwork. And so, I decided to make her an acrylic painting/pouring table.
On my lunch breaks at work, used a super simple online app to draft up plans to help work through the project. The idea was to have a dog kennel tray in the bottom to catch runoff paint, and dowel rods to hold the workpiece. Took pictures because the app doesn’t save and I didn’t get a chance to print them.
When it came time to put saw to wood, I had picked up an Irwin Japanese style pull saw. First off I made a bench hook stealing the design format from one of Rex Krueger’s videos. Then I got to cutting all my parts. I was quite surprised how quickly you can fall into a groove freehand cutting surprisingly square cuts. Cuts were tidied up with a Kakuri plane from the big A using the bench hook as a shooting board.
Assembly ended up being done in my basement Friday and Saturday night as I ran out of lunch breaks. Kept it within my skill set and just went with pocket screws for assembly.
Here it is without the kennel tray; still need to make add in walls for if she wants to do the hairdryer trick for blowing paint around for different designs. Also going to make a lazy Susan to drop in the center.
Was super relieved, she’s really excited to give it a try! Forgot to mention in the backstory that she’s not done any art as a hobby or anything, so I was a bit worried what she’d think.
Anyhow, thanks for checking it out!

2024.05.19 04:12 pizzapillowfort FMH Master Doc

The moment a lot of you have been waiting for is here!
A couple of notes before you read (or after because I would just jump into the list right away too)
  1. Direct quotes from Ali herself are in italics.
  2. I tried my best to keep everything in timeline order. Some people like The Come Back Kid I placed in the order where they reconnected/talked about on the pod. But I did my best to note this.
  3. All this information came from the FMH podcast, the Patreon, the original FMH blog, TikTok and other podcast that feature FMH/Ali. I also crossed reference information with this sub. I got most of this done with the help of the Patreon and listening to 1.75x speed but I lost accessed to the Patreon because my subscription ended.
  4. I'm open to edits! Things around the matchmaker era confused me and if anything is incorrect or if I'm missing someone, please let me know! I will note where corrections are made.
  5. Some people don't have anything simply because only a name was said or I couldn't find any details about the person/date
  6. And of course, please be respectful of all the sub rules!

Random college guy
Freshman year of college, Ali doesn’t have a nickname for him/doesn’t remember his real name, met this guy through a friend, was texting him to invite him over to hot tub but her phone autocorrected to “how about some hot rubbing tonight?” but Ali didn’t noticed/didn’t correct it and he never replied, Ali had a house party and got really drunk and was all over him, he left the party early, she messaged him on MySpace 3-4 times asking why he left
The Resident
Matched on Match.com, first guy she dated in NYC after college, older than Ali, a doctor, lasted 3 months ”maybe”, he didn’t like Ali’s friends, got a card from him on her birthday and it said “Love, The Resident” and it took Ali back a little, Ali drinks black coffee because of him, he coordinated having her mom visit NYC for her birthday then he broke up with her a week later

Sorry. P.S. sorry about last summer. I was in a bad place. You’re a great person and your salmon is amazing”, since then she has ran into him twice on the streets and matched with him on Bumble
The Coach/Mr. Adorable
First serious boyfriend at 26/27 in 2013, matched on Match.com or met through work depending if you’re listening to the pod or reading her OG blog, clean-cut look, played volleyball, Ali invited him to a friend’s birthday party and they made out in the streets at 4am, on their second date he asked Ali if she was seeing any one and when Ali said no he ask her to be his girlfriend 3 days after their first date, dated for almost 1.5 years or almost 2 years depending on if you’re listening to the pod or the Patreon, first time saying “I love you” to a guy, “lovely guy“, never would posted Ali on his instagram until Ali said something, he “lived” with her for two weeks while he was in between apartments, tried blind folding/hair pulling during sex and she didn’t like it, by the end of their relationship Ali didn’t like sex and thought she wasn’t a very sexual person, after they broke up Ali drunk texted him at 2am and he picked her up and she spent the night and she took her things in the morning in a rolly suitcase, from her blog in 2015: “I just want to be careful I don’t end up with another Mr. Adorable situation, where I find myself dating my platonic best friend”, had drinks with him in 2016 from the blog: “Not in a romantic way (at least on my end)”, Ali still talks to him sometimes through casual instagram DMs, he’s currently (as of 2021) dating someone for 4+ years and Ali thinks they’re going to get engaged

Personal side note: Ali has mentioned she has cheated on someone but never disclosed who she cheated on or with. I feel like she cheated on Mr.A/The Coach with Trouble because of the timeline. Just a guess.

Andddd I stopped listening to the podcast around the Dr. Pie Laundry Guy but have stayed up to date with everything via this sub.
I have a huge interest in dating culture, human behavior and data similar to Ali and this little project of mine was really interesting once I got the framework of this list. I started this list once I found this sub in December 2023 and started re listening to the Patreon while working out (and lost 10 lbs ayeee) and writing down information in my notes app. I did my best to keep this list unbiased and just give facts and information that was said.
My own thoughts after making this list is that I'm very sad for Ali. I didn't realize the extent of her dating history. I think about my own dating history or even my friends who are in their 30's and dating and Ali's dating lore runs so deep. Is Ali unlucky with love? Did she pass on someone that could have been great for her? How has she had so many dates with little success in a long term partner or even going beyond 6-8 dates? Or is Skyline the person she has been waiting for? What's the pattern with all this dates/men? So many questions.
I truly do hope Ali finds her guy because I believe theres someone for everyone. Until then, I'll be hopping into this sub (cause y'all are too funny and give the best advice) and waiting for Ali to find Mr. Height.
Enjoy and I look forward to everyone thoughts! I'll keep my eye out for any edits that need to be made.

2024.05.19 04:12 OkPromise7163 Ouroboros (short story written during my junior year in hs)

ACT 1. Sunday afternoon after visiting the local market two brothers wait for their train to arrive. If they were even a minute late, they knew their mother would surely scold them and scold the elder of the two far worse. The idea of another beating did not bother the elder brother; he had been through far worse just dealing with the brat and his attempted jailbreaks, though something did begin to make him painfully nauseous forcing him to feel pressured by the light breeze as if gravity had suddenly been increased tenfold. All his senses were heightening beyond anything he had thought possible.All around him he saw that the once energetic and hyperactive passengers had become little more than mannequins; their movements slowing to a standstill. They had all gone silent. The station was no longer filled with the cries of children or the gentle laughs of their parents. He had never heard such silence in such a crowded location. He did not feel panicked, nor did he feel a need to act for this silence was oddly comforting to him. However, the newly calm atmosphere would quickly be the source of a lifetime of suffering.His hand began to reach for his brother in an attempt to call his attention. Though in a moment of both unprecedented shock and exhaustion John shoved his younger brother onto the rails of an oncoming train. Local news would report the incident as nothing more than a tragic manic episode of a young sixteen-year-old. However, for John this single visceral instant in which all of his brother's bones were instantly crushed was stretched into hours. He was painfully aware of how every bone in his brother's body contorted in inhuman ways some nearly resembling perfect right angles, until eventually, they snapped and sent insurmountable pain throughout his nervous system. His blood curling screams were made mute by the screech of the train coming to a halt, though, by the time they stopped, his brother had torn his every vocal cord and had long ago lost consciousness. Still on the platform, the elder brother stood still, attempting to process what exactly he had done. He had no idea what force had compelled him to push his brother, but that instant would forever define what he saw as reality.That however was nineteen years ago, in present day he lived in isolation far from any person. He spent his isolated days wandering the land around his cabin completing house chores that distracted him from reminiscing about his days in the asylum or as he liked to call it “The Echo Room” where he was transferred after the incident. He headed inside after spending a portion of his morning counting all one-hundred-and-thirty-two trees that were showing signs of life after the harsh winter that nearly forced him to cut down two of them for firewood. Once inside he began preparing his morning coffee when he heard a loud creak come from the hall. He (after many incidents) learnt to avoid the boards that creaked, so in his mind immediately an intruder was breaking into his cabin searching for food or his stash of special edition coffee. Deciding to investigate he walked towards the noise when suddenly he heard two knocks at his front door. Confused and slightly worried, he proceeded to walk towards the door making sure not to step on any of the annoyingly loud floorboards.He approached and looked through the peephole and saw only what remained of the melting snow outside. Opening the door, he saw that only his steps led to the doormat. He glanced around and saw no indication of any life aside a few dark patches on the snow. He was about to close the door when he noticed a tiny red package wrapped in a radiant red bow placed clear from where the door would open. Cautiously picking it up, he noticed how it had almost no weight to it; as if empty. He walked inside and sat at his desk planning to journal later about the weird morning he had been having. He examined the exterior of the package and saw how not only was it near perfect condition but it was also slightly warm to the touch; as if recently held. He undid the bow and cautiously opened the package, half expecting an explosive of some sort. Though, all he found was a ragged ripped piece of paper. Unremarkable aside from the fact that it was inside such a carefully constructed package. On the other side he saw that it had some scarlet lettering inscribed into it reading.“Ouroboros”. At first believing it to be a prank by the kids who had heard rumors about him, and his incident, nearly caused him to dismiss it entirely deeming it little more than a slightly humorous event. He decided to put it aside for now as he had coffee left to drink that was quickly getting cold. He walked back towards the kitchen still distracted by the idea of no trace being left by whoever had left the gift. Was it even a gift? Maybe it was just some well-executed prank? In any manner he would later have a better look at it. He absentmindedly, reached for his cup and immediately pulled his hand back shocked by the temperature of the cup. It was frozen! Almost to a complete solid. He thought himself slightly distracted but not enough to freeze his morning coffee especially not his special edition coffee. First The Box and now this, it was all adding up to an annoying morning. Was it still morning? No, that’s not right. He had just spent the day counting trees. How could it still possibly be morning?The thought of Dr. Lumis being correct about his mental condition after so many years sent a chill down his spine especially since last time they talked, he did not exactly behave amicably. He was sure that both incidents had been isolated events that could never happen again. Sure, he had heard the echoes every once in a while, but he was never insane like the others; this he knew to be a fact. If he was insane, how could he have ever left? Disoriented and beginning to sweat, his legs suddenly gave out causing him to fall backward landing on the cold wooden floorboards. He looked around hurriedly expecting to see an intruder that had somehow found him. After seeing nothing but his pristine furniture, he steadied himself and began to control his breathing. He slowly got up causing the wood underneath to creak under the sudden release of weight. Deciding to further assure himself he went around the cabin checking in all four rooms. He found nothing aside from his own disturbances. Still feeling slightly nervous and disturbed he headed back towards the living room in search for The Box with the red bow determining that it had somehow triggered his current situation. The Box was still where he placed it; much to his relief. He sat down. He looked once again at the scarlet lettering.
Act 2. Back in the asylum he would often spend his days wondering how he could have ever been grouped alongside individuals who had purposefully and viciously committed heinous crimes against innocent victims. He was not insane like them. Whatever had caused his hand to shove his brother had long abandoned him. His routine now consisted of cleaning whatever mess the older residents made in the halls and transporting lab waste to the crematorium. He would clean from the southern stalls all the way to the northern cemetery and make his rounds gathering the waste from the rooms. It was a simple job but lonely, nonetheless. The halls were often only illuminated by tiny flickering red lights that indicated the position of the cameras through which Dr.Lumis would often monitor John during his nightly crusades. Though incredibly distasteful, John did not mind, he accepted that odd situations would be easier to explain if someone of credit had seen them. Yet despite this, he felt he was being watched by someone other than the doctor. He assumed that this feeling was due to the paranoia he had been diagnosed with a few months back. On a particular night, moments after dumping another bag of soft solids and dense liquids down the chute, he heard footsteps, just outside the room. Expecting to see the doctor he begrudgingly walked towards the door. Exiting and seeing no one he called out for the doctor but got no response aside from the echo of his own voice. He began to walk towards where he had heard the footsteps come from when he suddenly collapsed out of exhaustion. The same exhaustion that had plagued him during the moment of his brother’s death. He tried to reach for his panic button (a gift from Lumis) but it had disappeared from his chain. He tried to scream but not a single whisper was heard. He gazed into the dark corridor where he had thought Dr.Lumis had gone, but saw nothing but soft shadows. Though something was unnervingly wrong about them. They moved as if following an order, all synchronized, all heading towards him. That night in the asylum had left him scared to even return to the disposal area; he feared that The Shadows might eventually be able to reach him. The Shadows did not haunt him unaccompanied: they followed alongside The Echo tormenting his nights. While The Shadows could not reach him during daylight, he could never escape The Echo. It followed wherever he went and tracked everything he did. Dr.Lumis explained that he merely suffered from an extreme case paranoia but John saw the others; who yelled and who screamed true nonsense, he was perfectly aware of himself and the ones around him. Dr. Lumis secretly believed patient #132 experienced Hyper-sanity though this he would never verbally confess. It was term he decided would for now adequately describe his patient’s acute awareness of The Shadows and The Echo. John would for many years go without hearing The Echo after that night, only ever hearing what seemed like the final moans of a dying voice. Back in present day, he hoped he wasn’t suffering another hallucination as they tended to leave him in an embarrassing shocked state. He questioned what “Ouroboros” could possibly mean in relation to himself. He considered the possibility of it being an early warning of some threat to the sanctity of his home. He quickly dismissed it as he had not interacted with anyone long enough to possibly annoy them. Weird them out? Sure. Offend them? Maybe with his sense of fashion. Following his incredibly fine-tuned survival instincts he put on a light coat and went outside to walk among the trees. A mundane task, but one he truly enjoyed especially since he hoped it would distract him for a short while. Just before he closed the door behind him, he took one more look at The Box sitting on his desk and decided to take it with him in case he met the person who had left it. The sun had begun to set marking the end of the day. He watched the sun hide behind the mountain range letting the world bathe in darkness for another night. John did not dislike the night (he had worked nightshifts in The Echo Room for years) but he didn’t find the freezing cold to be ideal. He had not left his land for what was a few years now and the idea of even slightly stepping out of his comfort was making him incredibly anxious. Still, he walked forward towards wherever the path took him. The night only got darker and quieter, and he only got colder. He did not see the lightning bugs that usually warded away the dark near the edge of his hill. Without the soft hum of bugs or soft breeze that would brush against his beard he felt alone. Even the nights back in the asylum did not possess this level of quiet. He kept moving hoping that eventually he would find something that could break the uncomfortable silence. As he continued down the hill, he realized he could no longer distinguish the path from the dirt surrounding it. He considered heading back when he realized he had not kept track of where he had come from. Not only was he lost but alone with his thoughts and whatever had been watching him from the start. He walked a step forward and then another one back repeatedly. What he was attempting to achieve was beyond reason. Had he gone mad? No, he was perfectly sane. “Wait, I can hear them clearly now” he spoke, his voice dried from the cold.“This is not a hallucination” he spoke softly.“i-I AM NOT HALLUCINATING” he proclaimed. He heard The Echo once more though they were not of his voice but rather of Another. He had long been aware of “The Echo” but he could never fully determine whether it was a dream or an effect of the chemicals but this Other was undoubtedly real. “I don’t know where you are but please. Are you real?” he asked the night. He could now hear The Echo or rather feel the pressure of its words upon his reality. Had it been trying to hide the Other? He walked forward and pulled out The Box. “You gave me this right? What for? What purpose does it serve?” No one responded.Annoyed, he threw it as far as he could down the hill. “THERE! THIS CAN’T CONTINUE WITHOUT IT, RIGHT?” He shouted at the endless empty. That’s when out of the darkness emerged a faint light. Was it a lightning bug or maybe a sign of civilization?
Act 3. Cautiously, he approached the cold light and saw that the light was artificial. The tube inside flickered before another appeared a few feet ahead, and then another and then another and then what seemed like an uncountable amount more. He took a step forward and noticed that the ground underneath had turned to hard white tile. Accepting that this was not the weirdest occurrence that had affected him he proceeded to walk forward making sure to keep a mental note to journal about it later. The surrounding landscape transformed into white walls that every so often had a window that let him peek at the other side. At first, he could still see the snowy landscape, but it to slowly changed; first having scattered papers and then chairs, cabinets, and desks until they eventually resembled a typical office. Its purpose was not obvious to him, and neither was the hallway but if they were changing surely, it possessed a deeper metaphorical meaning that related to his life. He saw a door at the very end of the hall and decided to not postpone the ploy of whatever “The Echo” was planning. He stood before the door wondering about what it could possibly contain. John proceeded to open the door. Inside was a desk along with a single cabinet. Walking inside he noticed that the room was illuminated by some otherworldly source that had no words that could possibly describe it. He walked towards the desk and a file he had not seen previously, sat open. Inside was a description of his physical appearance. “Age: 35. Height: 5’8. Weight: 185 lbs. Hair: Black with obvious signs of stress. Eyes: Brown. Character Aptitude: High.” “Okay, I get it. I’m old, you didn’t have to expose my hair like that” he said slightly embarrassed quickly restyling his hair. He noticed that even though they had an almost perfect description of his hobbies, dreams and wishes they did not have a single picture as if they for some reason were only able to use words. “SOOO you know about that one time in the asylum (don’t ask) BUT NOT A SINGLE PICTURE? That’s lame.” he said mockingly. On the final page he found what looked like an incomplete file; most of the personal attributes had not yet been filled and only a note was made reading. “They don’t need a complete story just one they can understand.” Besides the fact that whatever role he played in this act had been a mere afterthought; he was confused as to how anyone could have ever gathered such sensitive and personal information about his isolated life. Was it The Echo? Had it told them his life? A phone started to ring somewhere in the room abruptly breaking the silence he had become used to. He quickly rotated towards the source of the ringing but did not find anything. There was only him and the four walls that despite the lighting did not change a shade of grey. He walked towards one of them that seemed to be where the noise came from resting his hand on it and gently put his ear to it thinking that the ringing was from another room entirely. The wall he had just laid a hand on had no longer a physical representation and causing John to fall through to the other side. Disoriented he slowly looked up and saw The Telephone illuminated by what seemed to be the same light that illuminated the previous room. This one however was far more powerful and concentrated solely on The Telephone. He approached it expecting a chasm to somehow appear underneath his feet. The Telephone did not stop ringing and only seemed to increase in intensity (though this could have simply been a hallucination). He lifted it to cut the blaring noise and slowly put it to his ear. “hello?” “…” “…” “The protagonist only dies if the story ends” the voice said quietly. “HUH? YOU DRAGGED ME HERE TO TELL ME THAT OMINOUSLY ANNOYING LOAD OF *********!” “…I’m so sorry” The call disconnected not out of offense but rather out of completion. John slammed the phone back onto its stand and decided it was time for this nonsense to end. He walked out into the room he was in before anxiously attempting to find another exit: only to be met with solid walls. What wicked game had he been roped into? When would it end? These were questions he would answer far earlier than he expected. A door appeared in the center of the room. No, it was more of a two-dimensional plane that appeared to be a sort of portal. With no other options, John stepped into the newly opened portal.
Act 4. On the other side was a station, and his ears were immediately flooded with the cries of children and the laughs of their parents. He walked around moving through the crowd careful to not miss any indication of the location. His pace increased as he began to recognize the commuters shortly realizing exactly where he was. He rushed to a platform, the platform where he and his brother were to arrive after their day in the market. He sat on a nearby bench committed to saving his brother no matter who he would have to shove instead. Three agonizing days passed with the daily commuters repeating their routine with the slightest variations. One of these variations would be the key to preventing the day that haunted his nights. Something would soon cause him to shove his brother onto the tracks. He was determined to stop the fall or kill himself to keep his brother safe.He heard a familiar laughter and turned towards the source and saw his brothers face uncontrollably laughing and himself lightly smiling. He began to run towards them but felt once again suddenly exhausted. As if the air became a type of nonnewtonian sludge making his legs impossibly heavy. The crowd around him seemed to be moving just as easily as before; children laughing just as maniacally and just as carelessly. He tried to yell to them, but his lungs were filled with the dense fluid drowning any screams he attempted. He was forced to watch how his brother got closer and closer to the edge. Through much effort, he managed to get close enough to extend a hand towards his past trying to desperately push him away from his brother. The past reacted in what seemed to be a defensive system and sent a temporal anomaly throughout the space his past and present inhabited. Time began to exponentially speed forward. In a last desperate attempt to prevent his brother’s death he tried to distract the past long enough to let the train pass without incident, but the temporal anomaly caused the relative slow velocity of his touch to have the effect of a sudden jerk and in his final moments of consciousness he saw his brother accelerate towards the rails in a split second. He awoke back in the office alone with nothing, but the realization of what force had killed his brother. He curled into the fetal position and began to cry; still believing his lungs to be filled with the dense liquid he did not let out a single sigh. He spent several hours in this state of painful silence without even opening his eyes. His emotions were chaotic and his thoughts unending. They tormented him for hours far after he had run out of tears to let out. They were merciless and torturous forbidding him from resting, insisting on his suffering. Being the cause of his brother’s death nearly caused him to go insane yet part of him kept insisting that Another was to blame. Another had caused him to do it. The Other had forced his hand. Of this, he was now sure. The Other enjoyed his suffering, The Other forced him to kill his brother. He had not eaten nor slept in what seemed like years and yet he stood up defying the gravity that held him down. He took a deep breath of as much oxygen as his lungs allowed and began to speak. “Whoever you are. Whatever you are. Wherever you are. Just know I will no longer play for your entertainment the rest is entirely my choice” he said threateningly. He then began to walk forwards confidently towards the dark wall and through the hidden door that he was not supposed to see. He entered what seemed to be a studio room though, unlike the sterile office; it was trashed. Papers littered the floor and empty bottles populated the lone mattress. On it laid a journal that had recently had liquid spilt on it. He picked the journal and gently opened it and began to read. It was scratched with the stray ideas of a creator who seemed to have never decided upon an end or beginning to his story; yet possessing the journey. He saw many ideas that together seemed to create a way for the continuity to depend entirely on Another rather than itself. A thought described in a single word interested him enough to take it with him. The room started to dissolve around him transforming into a cold landscape. Armed with the knowledge of who he was he treaded what remained of the worn-out path. The sun began to rise signing the start of another day, yet John did not seem to notice as he was focused on something buried in the snow. He could not see much of it yet he knew it was The Box he had thrown the previous night. He dug it up and began his walk up the hill once more. He eventually arrived at his cabin and walked towards his front door….

Truth 1
…Before deciding that no longer would he be a puppet for someone’s amusement. John arrogantly began marched back down the hill and headed north towards the nearest interstate a few miles from his home hoping that he had derailed The Echo’s plot. It took him hours on foot, but he would eventually come across the road and start his journey back to civilization no longer subject to the whims of an Otherworldly Audience. He believed his future was now his to decide. He decided what he would become. He decided when and what to think. This he was sure would be how he escaped his torment. John suddenly suffered a complete body collapse and fell forward landing face first onto the scorching road. It would be several sweltering hours before anyone would find him. But eventually someone did, john suffering heavy burns and on the brink of death was saved. He would awake months later in a hospital bed though no one would ever know of this. Weeks would pass as john laid in the hospital bed unable to speak or even move; alerting no one to his consciousness. The doctors and nurses were busy with whatever important patients needed immediate attention; they walked from one end to the other in what seemed like mere minutes. The entire time the only company he had was The Echo and yet slowly it too seemed to forget his existence as well. Eventually The Echo having no interest went away.Jane a third-year medical student had recently joined the staff a month prior and had already been assigned two elders and one child. Though overwhelmed she did not grow annoyed nor frustrated; she loved her job and by proxy her patients. Despite her benevolent nature there was a single patient she never went near as he always seemed to be watching her despite his eyes being shut for over four months. Any time she got near to patient #132 she would begin to get nauseous and quickly retreat. She had no ID on the man, but it seemed he was dehydrated for far longer than should’ve been possible and should be by all accounts dead if not near it. Whenever she worked nightshifts, she would swear that she heard the man whimper slightly as if to warn her of something. Even when she was on the opposite side of the building, she would hear the echo of his groans. She would eventually be transferred and would soon forget the man who after 6 months was officially declared braindead and was due to be disposed of, yet she would still every once in a while, still hear The Echo. Forgotten Ending
Truth 2…Realizing that there was no other choice John took a step forward while placing the note he ripped from the journal into The Box making sure to keep it neatly packaged. He saw the footprints he had left two nights before and carefully stepped into each one making sure to not disturb the surrounding snow. Whatever…Whoever had set him on this path allowed him to live a life of suffering, a life of loss, and a life of pain. This, he felt was the way things were intended to play out; the way it had to end. He placed The Box on the final step making sure it would not be knocked away whenever the door would eventually open. He walked away nearly to the edge of the property when he looked back once more. Managing to peek inside he saw his past still making his coffee when he saw an almost invisible distortion appear near the front door. He smiled and turned away only saying…Freedom ending
Truth 3…though spotting a disturbance near the back of the cabin distracted him from the front door. He decided to investigate for fear of losing a single blossoming tree. Arriving near the back fence he saw no indication of a disturbance giving him much needed reassurance. He heard noise emerge from inside the cabin giving him one more dilemma to deal with. He headed to the backdoor making sure to not disturb the recent snow and entered the cabin. Being sleep deprived and without coffee he had forgotten about the wooden floor and stepped on one that caused a creak to be heard throughout the cabin. He quickly hid in the bathroom fearing that he had disturbed the continuity that The Echo had established when suddenly a bright flash blinded him. He found himself at the front door next to The Box. Slightly amused he proceeded to knock on the door and was soon after transported once more to an empty hall. Both confused and entertained as he was being transported from one place in time to another he took a few steps forward alerting the past to his presence. Seeing his past enter the hall he ducked and quickly hid around the corner. His past seemed to believe that the doctor was in the halls and decided to investigate though just as he was nearing closer; his past collapsed. John saw how his fall was slowed as if moving through the dense liquid he had once gone through. He walked towards his past and noticed an old fashioned panic button that would instantly call Dr.Lumis to his location. Measuring the consequences, he decided to remove the panic button and head back towards The Shadows. For a third and final time he was transported to a final location, the bottom of a snowy hill. Taking in his surroundings he noticed burn marks on the snow where his past would eventually walk through the portal whenever the past caught up. He reached into his pocket and realized how the plot was supposed to move forward. He walked until he reached the exact point where his past would once again find The Box. He kneeled and buried The Box making sure to erase any evidence of his own disturbances. Fully fulfilling his purpose John collapsed. The End.
“Did the hero die?” “What?” “Did he die?” “No? He beat the bad guy and saved the day remember?” “Yea but like AFTER.” “Well, I guess after a few years he would.” “No” The young child said growing annoyed, “when you said, “The End” did he die?” “No.” responded the elder brother. “Then what happened to him? Is he still alive?” “The protagonist only dies if you stop reading.” concluded the elder brother as if possessed. Begin again?
Truth 4…Then just as he took his first step forward everything began to rot. His trees, his home, his coffee, all of it was slowly eroding into a fine dust. He knew that another temporal anomaly would be the likely cause, but he had not yet experienced one that possessed this level of molecular destruction. The fabric of his reality was slowly and thoroughly being untangled into its most simple of compositions. It separated the light from dark, gravity from time, and words from spaces.John could now comprehend what had defined his reality for so many painful years, he finally understood The Narrative and how all possible endings had been chosen long before his creation. John had been a slave from the moment The Narrative began; not once in his entire existence had he ever had a real choice only walking paths already treaded by Another. He was nothing but a plot device in an otherwise self-indulging tale written by a gentle master forced to be cruel for those above. From the moment this story began, John was in pain. He could never hope to truly escape; he could only die until he arose once more. Had John never understood what his life really was then maybe he could’ve found meaning in his suffering. Unfortunately, this choice has now forced John to become aware of how truly meaningless his existence was. His life was little more than entertainment for The Other; they were the ones truly in control. For as long as The Other remained, The Echo would doom John to eternal suffering. The Echo was never in control of The Narrative; he too was merely a subject to it by an even greater force. The Echo did not wish for John to suffer but The Other would not allow John to live if he did not. It is a toxic cycle of pain, suffering and realization that forces John to relive The Narrative lifetime after lifetime. The Narrative must have suffering intertwined into its foundation otherwise The Other would grow bored and erase the reality ending John in but a mere thought. Don’t you see? Don’t you understand? This is reality; John cannot exist without pain, The Echo cannot live without a narrative, and The Other is you. THE END......
Intended to be a philosophical narrative detailing the tragic relationship between the reader, the narrator, and the character and how they cannot coexist without hurting each other.

2024.05.19 04:10 Melodic-Investment97 questions about LP boiler tank and other stuff associated (bio for the masses questline)

Sorry for another question, I couldn't find info on this on the machines, unless I missed it somehow
I was looking at the quests and it said either 19 or 24 coke ovens for the lp boilers, but it's not quite clear. I was also wondering if it would produce extra and if I would need a creosote and charcoal storage buffer or some way to dispose of the extra so that the coke ovens don't get backed up, or if it would be safe since I probably wouldn't be using 100% steam all the time
Basically, do I need 19 or 24 Coke Ovens for the 9 liquid and solid fueled boiler firebox.
How big should my wood farm be for this? Will 1 crop manager cut it or do I need multiple?
Should I take the time to try and breed the saplings (if possible) to get more wood?

2024.05.19 04:09 476b cage topper

cage topper
Here are the measurements and more pictures of my tank topper in case anyone else wants to make one. It's based off one in one of the tutorials linked in this sub, but that one doesnt seem to have very in depth instructions, so I had to kind of design and figure it out myself.
All wood is 1x2" pine lumber. [note: 1x2" lumber is actually only 3/4" x 1 1/2"; make sure to factor your measurements into this]. You will need 4 eight foot boards for this project; try to pick out boards that are straight. Wire is quarter inch chicken wire, one 5ft roll should work. Wood glue and 1 1/2" long nails [note: nails might split your wood, not sure how to circumvent this] Wood was cut with a hand saw which is why its... not perfect.
I measured it fit inside the rim of a 20g tank and be about as tall; but this can be remeasured to fit any sized tank.
Steps: I did the sides first. Put some glue on and then nails to keep it together. Long middle pieces. Two extra long pieces along the top makes it strong enough to put things on (or hold cats). Everything is kind of held together with the chicken wire a little bit. Staple gun and small screws and washers hold the wire on. One long piece of wire mesh to go along from left to back to right, this limits gaps and edges. one piece attached on top. Make sure doors cover your entire front!, and limit gaps. Bar in the middle is removable so I can get bigger things in and out. Slide latch. Magnetic cabinet hold. Make sure any gaps you have are small enough that a mouse cant get through. Mine don't seem interested in chewing their way out. Wire mesh allows you to attach things much more easy to the sides and top. Mine has a towel on the top which makes it kind of dark inside for no real reason. ummm measurements in the last slide!!! and let me know if you have any questions!! i know this isnt the best tutorial but this was my first project i designed, measured, and built myself so im really proud of it!!!!! mouse in pic 4 is miss pigeon :)
