Sugimoto sf-4030 Chinese Cleaver: take a good thing make it better?
2024.05.19 00:35 drrayeye Sugimoto sf-4030 Chinese Cleaver: take a good thing make it better?
| I received my birthday present early. I've already been admiring it for a week. The carbon version of the "little" Sugimoto for home use is not so well known--it's really a slightly smaller version of the #6 that is so commonly used and loved. Here's a write-up to help me understand my "birthday" Sugimoto sv 4030: feel free to comment. I believe that "make it better" is what Sugimoto has tried to do with their Chinese cleaver family of knives--and it shows. They've built all of their cleavers with a practical mind set--like in China--but in a Japanese way. The starting point for designers is the meat cleaver intended for the butcher world--and Sugimoto has one--it's a point of departure. Another point of departure is the Sugimoto full line of forged mostly carbon steel Japanese knives with traditional profiles--both Western and wa handles. It is this second point of departure--Japanese knife traditions--that may lead Sugimoto to rethink the Chinese rectangle as more knife--and less cleaver. Given the adoption of the cleaver concept has already made it to millions of Chinese homes and restaurants, the basic elements of blade design transformation had already matured in China--thinner and lighter--within a 100mm X 200 rectangle. As long as bone splitting is not a requirement, cleavers can benefit greatly from a thin profile, while preserving sufficient weight to maintain the "cleaver effect": substituting cleaver weight for muscle effort. Shibazi f/208-2 The Shibazi f/208-2 represents a current version of the Chinese home cook cleaver: thin, but not delicate; light enough, but within a "sweet spot" of 300-400 gm. This Shibazi profile only has a hint of distal tapering and a similar hint of curvature near the tip. There is regular thinning from spine to bevel, with an edge angle intended to be between 20 and 25 degrees on each side. This design lends itself to mass production and low costs. The Shibazi f/208-2 has refinements in it's blade that are unusual for Chinese vegetable cleavers: a sandwiching of a harder steel core between softer surrounding strips, a nonstick coating, and a roughened edge near the heel to tolerate denser materials. This is all intended to make the f/208-2 sufficiently versatile to become an "all in one" solution to food preparation in the kitchen. Less advanced Chinese cleavers-even made by Shibazi--are mono-steel in construction without a roughened area near the heel. Shibazi has a slightly longer f/208-1 version for chefs. Sugimoto SF 4030 The Sugimoto "make things better" alternative handle to the Shibazi f/208-2 has already gone through 2 versions--a round solid wooden handle without any gripping ridges replaced to a rectangular handle with rounded contours and two gripping ridges at the front, connected to the blade through a broader bolster, with a metal insert protruding and folded over at the end of the handle--a little bit more comfortable, a little bit more sturdy. Even though the profile of the Sugimoto and Shibazi seem very close, the core metal itself and the entire forging and hand finishing process that "makes things better." The Sugimoto core metal is mysteriously described as "native ore" compared to white steel #2, surrounded by soft iron: Carbon steel that is hard and highly reactive to moisture. The profile is shorter by 5 mm, and wider by about the same overall--with a bit of a belly sticking out in the center. The profile has a substantial distal taper along the spine, and a vertical taper that leads to a very thin bevel with a convex grind. Such a grind requires extensive shaping by hand. The Sugimoto has harder steel with an edge somewhat protected with a convex grind. Is the Sugimoto SF 4030 better? Here's how I'll compare. I will first sharpen both to twenty degree angles. Then I will use them interchangeably on a range of home cooking tasks. I've already tried them on some fruit and done the usual paper cutting tests. I already know that my Shibazi performs all these tasks well, so performance alone will not be enough to answer the question. By using them comparatively, I can "learn" what the Sugimoto does especially well, and see if or when I develop a preference. I already know the hard way how sharp the Sugimoto is: I cut myself three times! I'm still wearing a band aid on one of my fingers. Maybe "better" is the wrong word. Sugimoto sv-40320 + Shibazi f/208-2 What I expect to find is that I will soon be using them with different techniques. With the Sugimoto, I will be less of a chopper and have more control. submitted by drrayeye to TrueChefKnives [link] [comments] |
2024.05.18 08:37 clcoding Python Coding challenge - Day 208 What is the output of the following Python Code?
2024.05.17 17:51 Trust-Master PMT and FV not matching up
I'm trying to use the PMT and FV function and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. When I work out the PMT and try to use that answer to verify FV, I can't get the results to verify one another.
I think my issue is with FV, because when I multiply the payment by 12, I get 88,058.04; but, when I use the FV function, I get 92,208.22
Rate: 0.10
NPER: 12 (1 year, with a payment each month)
PV: 50,000
PMT: 7338.17
What am I doing wrong here?
FV=(.1/12, 12, -7338.17)
Thank you!

2024.05.16 18:09 Regular-Atmosphere11 Seeking advice on my impostor syndrome
Hi!
I hope someone knowledgeable will be able to guide/help me.
I am 22 years old - my problem is that I have been experiencing a strong impostor syndrome from the beginning. I have done the DIVA test three times with different psychologists. Each time I scored high, and basically, everything fits together rationally. I do indeed recognize the impostor symptom in myself. I discussed this with a friend who is finishing psychology studies and also has ADHD, and he supports my perspective.
Additionally, my father, who committed suicide, most likely also struggled with ADHD (based on the DIVA methodology, I asked the family and matched it to events that complicated his life further, plus, of course, chronic depression).Everything was rather stable until 3 days ago when I had bad lack for a psychiatrist (where I did the last DIVA and a specialist was recommended) - an online visit. I don't want to sound conceited (also, I'm not a doctor), but I had the impression that the psychiatrist I consulted often didn't know the answers to my questions and was evasive. He seemed more interested in my money than in helping and understanding me (I have seen 2 psychologists, 2 therapists, and 3 psychiatrists, so I have a comparison whether someone cares or is genuinely interested). I have scheduled my next appointment with a doctor that is leading ADHD treatment here in Poland
Returning to the point, my impostor syndrome flared up additionally when the psychiatrist stated during the interview that "the symptoms I experience are rather mild, or I somehow manage them, otherwise I would have problems with studying and working" (my professional life is okay, but about 4 times below my potential because I have issues with fluctuations in activity - I work intensely for several days, and then have a few days of a depressive period - it's not like manic-depression, it's rather about activity and the ability to motivate myself to do things, not finding less painful activities, etc.). This surprised me because I perceive them differently (and they seem more concrete than just excusing my inefficiencies). So, of course, I continued the previously started research to feel more at ease.
I was prescribed a dosage that seems non-standard: Medikinet 10mg CR daily, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and I can double it and then report back after finishing.All this has led to many questions and overthinking. The first day, 10mg didn't make much of an impression on me; it settled me a bit, I felt some interest, took the second dose in the afternoon as recommended, and, of course, couldn't sleep (despite 6mg of melatonin).
Yesterday, I took 20mg in the morning and felt the need to organize everything, and I cleaned the whole apartment, including scrubbing under the closet.Despite this, the impostor syndrome is so insidious that I keep wondering if I'm imagining things, over-researched, and adjusted the answers or interpretations of my life and events to fit the thesis.It's generally a terrible issue because I hope that after years of struggling with "depression," it will finally be addressed, and I can stop dealing with such matters and just focus on work - I am 22 years old, and my first visit to a psychiatrist for depression was around 15-16 years old.
Currently, I have the biggest dilemmas in the following areas, and I really hope someone could shed some light or guide me:
- **Methylphenidate in a person without ADHD** - I couldn't find anything concrete on whether I can verify this - if, for example, I don't have ADHD, how should it affect me vs. someone with ADHD. It's so vaguely described on the internet that it's not clear if there's a concrete way to verify this to avoid questioning my own observations. Obviously, a solid diagnosis like a blood test or MRI for other diseases won't be available, but by nature, I'm a skeptic and need it grounded to sleep peacefully and not get into unnecessary discussions with people who barely understand the subject.
- **Effectiveness of diagnostics** - I haven't encountered any data on how often diagnoses are invalidated. I read on Reddit (unfortunately, there are few better discussion places with a lot of content) that one girl had an ADHD diagnosis, took Adderall, and after about 2 years, it turned out it wasn't ADHD but some compulsive disorder. Is there any information on how many people with an ADHD diagnosis and prescribed treatment are misdiagnosed? It's known that in the USA, people sometimes stretch the truth to get Adderall, but I'm sure you understand my point and the essence of the matter.
- **Dosage** - I have a bit of time left before my next appointment and wonder what I can do (but nothing stupid). My friend, for example, has 30mg CR in the morning and then has those on-demand Medikinet, which keeps him okay later in the day and doesn't cause sleep problems; he's considering switching to Concerta. From my psychiatrist, I basically got the information I already mentioned plus to avoid abusing alcohol. Is there anything I can change in these recommendations to not waste time? If I just take 30mg or 40mg in the morning (of course, gradually and checking the response weekly), am I exposing myself to any problems? I found out on my own that I won't die, but I'm interested in the effectiveness of this treatment, not messing around.
- **A question completely omitted by the psychiatrist, and I didn't get any specific information, which is quite important to me**. In all the DIVA tests, I scored higher in adulthood than in childhood. In the last one, it came out as follows: Summary of symptoms according to DSM-5: I. Attention Deficit: Adulthood: 8/9, Childhood: 7/9 II. Hyperactivity and impulsivity: Adulthood: 9/9, Childhood: 8/9 III. Experienced symptoms are a source of significant problems, manifesting in at least 2 areas of life in both childhood and adulthood. After my own analysis, talking to my mom and sister, it's hard to deny that I had serious problems in areas affected by ADHD plus many “less obvious” symptoms that I learned about from PsychiatraPlus from Mr. Jóźwiak (thanks God he records because books and articles in Poland on the internet are often a disaster) in quite significant intensity. I'm still afraid of cognitive bias and fitting the situation to the thesis.
I noticed an increase in many symptoms attributed to ADHD after 2022 (when my father committed suicide, which involved PTSD therapy because I saw a lot, plus a depressive episode). Before, I might have had 2-3 such severe depressive episodes. I skimmed through (I emphasize because I might have missed something that would answer my question, and I don't want to appear lazy coming for a free ready-made solution) meta-analyses (The World Federation of ADHD International Consensus Statement: 208 Evidence-based Conclusions about the Disorder). This fragment intrigued me: "ADHD is rarely caused by a single genetic or environmental risk factor, but most cases of ADHD are caused by the combined effects of many genetic and environmental risks, each having a very small effect."
This, of course, suggested a possible scenario - a father with ADHD + trauma could have exacerbated my symptoms, hence now they are more noticeable to me than before, although it resonates more with me that conditions, tasks, and challenges I face have changed. I didn't observe myself in this regard before; I didn't have the knowledge; I attributed my failures to a different “legend” (I wasn't taught consequences, laziness, lack of discipline, if I tried harder, etc.) than ADHD. Obviously, I'm not so infantile as to expect someone to try to resolve this issue, but based on the current conclusive knowledge, how do you assess my line of thinking, does it hold together? Could I check anything else additionally?
To conclude, I know I need to find a good psychiatrist; I have one in mind, but it's pointless at this moment when I have prescriptions and "recommendations" to schedule and pay for a visit since I'll probably get not very in-depth answers (I also understand doctors don't have 2 hours to give a lecture on how and why things work), rather reassuring and "we'll observe." Whenever something stresses or confuses me, I just try to understand it, and when it turns out that my inherent skepticism activated unnecessarily, the problem disappears from the radar.
I hope someone will guide me to the right materials that will tell me a bit more about these issues. Once again, thank you in advance for any response and time spent just reading this post. If additional questions arise to provide a better answer, I am happy to respond.

Yesterday, I took 20mg in the morning and felt the need to organize everything, and I cleaned the whole apartment, including scrubbing under the closet.Despite this, the impostor syndrome is so insidious that I keep wondering if I'm imagining things, over-researched, and adjusted the answers or interpretations of my life and events to fit the thesis.It's generally a terrible issue because I hope that after years of struggling with "depression," it will finally be addressed, and I can stop dealing with such matters and just focus on work - I am 22 years old, and my first visit to a psychiatrist for depression was around 15-16 years old.
Currently, I have the biggest dilemmas in the following areas, and I really hope someone could shed some light or guide me:
- **Methylphenidate in a person without ADHD** - I couldn't find anything concrete on whether I can verify this - if, for example, I don't have ADHD, how should it affect me vs. someone with ADHD. It's so vaguely described on the internet that it's not clear if there's a concrete way to verify this to avoid questioning my own observations. Obviously, a solid diagnosis like a blood test or MRI for other diseases won't be available, but by nature, I'm a skeptic and need it grounded to sleep peacefully and not get into unnecessary discussions with people who barely understand the subject.
- **Effectiveness of diagnostics** - I haven't encountered any data on how often diagnoses are invalidated. I read on Reddit (unfortunately, there are few better discussion places with a lot of content) that one girl had an ADHD diagnosis, took Adderall, and after about 2 years, it turned out it wasn't ADHD but some compulsive disorder. Is there any information on how many people with an ADHD diagnosis and prescribed treatment are misdiagnosed? It's known that in the USA, people sometimes stretch the truth to get Adderall, but I'm sure you understand my point and the essence of the matter.
- **Dosage** - I have a bit of time left before my next appointment and wonder what I can do (but nothing stupid). My friend, for example, has 30mg CR in the morning and then has those on-demand Medikinet, which keeps him okay later in the day and doesn't cause sleep problems; he's considering switching to Concerta. From my psychiatrist, I basically got the information I already mentioned plus to avoid abusing alcohol. Is there anything I can change in these recommendations to not waste time? If I just take 30mg or 40mg in the morning (of course, gradually and checking the response weekly), am I exposing myself to any problems? I found out on my own that I won't die, but I'm interested in the effectiveness of this treatment, not messing around.
- **A question completely omitted by the psychiatrist, and I didn't get any specific information, which is quite important to me**. In all the DIVA tests, I scored higher in adulthood than in childhood. In the last one, it came out as follows: Summary of symptoms according to DSM-5: I. Attention Deficit: Adulthood: 8/9, Childhood: 7/9 II. Hyperactivity and impulsivity: Adulthood: 9/9, Childhood: 8/9 III. Experienced symptoms are a source of significant problems, manifesting in at least 2 areas of life in both childhood and adulthood. After my own analysis, talking to my mom and sister, it's hard to deny that I had serious problems in areas affected by ADHD plus many “less obvious” symptoms that I learned about from PsychiatraPlus from Mr. Jóźwiak (thanks God he records because books and articles in Poland on the internet are often a disaster) in quite significant intensity. I'm still afraid of cognitive bias and fitting the situation to the thesis.
I noticed an increase in many symptoms attributed to ADHD after 2022 (when my father committed suicide, which involved PTSD therapy because I saw a lot, plus a depressive episode). Before, I might have had 2-3 such severe depressive episodes. I skimmed through (I emphasize because I might have missed something that would answer my question, and I don't want to appear lazy coming for a free ready-made solution) meta-analyses (The World Federation of ADHD International Consensus Statement: 208 Evidence-based Conclusions about the Disorder). This fragment intrigued me: "ADHD is rarely caused by a single genetic or environmental risk factor, but most cases of ADHD are caused by the combined effects of many genetic and environmental risks, each having a very small effect."
This, of course, suggested a possible scenario - a father with ADHD + trauma could have exacerbated my symptoms, hence now they are more noticeable to me than before, although it resonates more with me that conditions, tasks, and challenges I face have changed. I didn't observe myself in this regard before; I didn't have the knowledge; I attributed my failures to a different “legend” (I wasn't taught consequences, laziness, lack of discipline, if I tried harder, etc.) than ADHD. Obviously, I'm not so infantile as to expect someone to try to resolve this issue, but based on the current conclusive knowledge, how do you assess my line of thinking, does it hold together? Could I check anything else additionally?
To conclude, I know I need to find a good psychiatrist; I have one in mind, but it's pointless at this moment when I have prescriptions and "recommendations" to schedule and pay for a visit since I'll probably get not very in-depth answers (I also understand doctors don't have 2 hours to give a lecture on how and why things work), rather reassuring and "we'll observe." Whenever something stresses or confuses me, I just try to understand it, and when it turns out that my inherent skepticism activated unnecessarily, the problem disappears from the radar.
I hope someone will guide me to the right materials that will tell me a bit more about these issues. Once again, thank you in advance for any response and time spent just reading this post. If additional questions arise to provide a better answer, I am happy to respond.

2024.05.16 16:16 -CrawlingInYourSkin- What should I work on while I'm waiting for her banner?
| Unfortunately, during her debut banner I didn't manage to get Furina after losing 50/50, but at this moment I can guarantee her and who knows, maybe my luck will let me to get some constellations (C2) Furina is one of my favorite characters but also a great addition to the two teams I have: C0 Neuvillette with one Favonius user; C6 Wanderer with two Favonius users. I know that these weapons reduce the energy needs of the team, hence the mention of them. Based on this information, I have prepared two potential builds and I would like to know in which direction to build her. I also have a few other weapons like: The Dockhand's Assistant and Wolf-Fang (but it's hard not to have too much Crit Rate with this one) The end result should also be different since Lynette has less base HP and Furina's Special Stat is +19% Crit Rate In the case of the first build, it should have 69.7 Crit Rate + 16 Elemental Skill CRIT Rate = 85.7% The second one is 91,6% Crit Rate So what stats should I prioritize when upgrading? Thank you for your answer <3 85,7% Crit Rate + 208% (240%) ER 91,6% Crit Rate + 147% ER + higher Crit Damage and HP submitted by -CrawlingInYourSkin- to furinamains [link] [comments] |

2024.05.16 14:55 PentaCrit We have achieved 400 Legendary Armors through no-requirements Raid Training.
Hey everyone, Gixx back again with an update about my quest to get everyone Legendary armor. XL has now gotten 400 people Legendary armor purely through no-requirement training raids. (For context, when we started, a full carry was about $520 in gems -> gold, so thats about $208,000 USD in armors, although current exchange rates are a bit lower )
For those new to this post series, no requirement simply means that you can play whatever build on whatever class you want, as long as it is in good faith. There are no dps requirements and no boon requirements (Although I explain healthy dps and boons whenever needed to encourage self-correction).
Now in most communities that would be an awful idea, unproductive and generally frustrating, but Guild Wars 2 is a bit different. In my time running XL we have had barely any issues with trolls, leeches, or any kind of situation where someone was holding back the team. In basically every case someone needed help (mostly with gear stats), they were open to feedback and willing to improve for the next raid. This has created a wonderful set of circumstances where people that joined XL wearing celestial gear and doing 1k dps are now:
- Clearing CM raids
- Clearing CM fractals
- We have had a couple of groups clear Harvest Temple CM
- Getting DPS benchmarks in the top 5% of the game
I'm rambling a bit but this is all to show that encouraging people matters, improvement matters, and most importantly, making people feel like they are allowed to make mistakes matters. There are so many players that would at one time consider themselves 'bad' that are now some of the most skilled players I know, and I am proud XL was part of their journey in self-improvement.
Keep in mind if you want to get into raiding, XL is just one option, there are a ton of wonderful guilds that can help you find your footing and we're all just one big community focused on helping people get their legendary armor and into endgame content. Here are some other servers if you are interested:

2024.05.15 20:42 dwredbaker Jesus before the Sanhedrin
J. C. Ryle
MATTHEW 26: 57-68~And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end. Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?"
We read in these verses how our Lord Jesus Christ was brought before Caiaphas the high priest, and solemnly pronounced guilty. It was fitting that it should be so. The great day of atonement was come. The wondrous type of the scapegoat was about to be completely fulfilled. It was only suitable that the Jewish high priest should do his part, and declare sin to be upon the head of the victim, before he was led forth to be crucified. May we ponder these things and understand them. There was a deep meaning in every step of our Lord's passion.
Let us observe in these verses, that
the chief priests were the principal agents in bringing about our Lord's death. It was not so much the Jewish people, we must remember, who pushed forward this wicked deed, as Caiaphas and his companions, the chief priests.
This is an instructive fact, and deserves notice. It is a clear proof that high ecclesiastical office exempts no man from gross errors in doctrine, and tremendous sins in practice. The Jewish priests could trace up their pedigree to Aaron, and were his lineal successors. Their office was one of peculiar sanctity, and entailed peculiar responsibilities. And yet these very men were the murderers of Christ!
Let us beware of regarding any minister of religion as infallible. His orders, however regularly conferred, are no guarantee that he may not lead us astray, and even ruin our souls. The teaching and conduct of all ministers must be tried by the Word of God. They are to be followed so long as they follow the Bible, but no longer. The maxim laid down in Isaiah must be our guide "To the law and the testimony — if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." (
Isaiah. 8:20.)
Let us observe, in the second place,
how fully our Lord declared to the Jewish council His own Messiahship, and His future coming in glory. The unconverted Jew can never tell us at the present day, that his forefathers were left in ignorance that Jesus was the Messiah. Our Lord's answer to the solemn adjuration of the high priest is a sufficient reply. He tells the council plainly that He is "the Christ, the Son of God." He goes on to warn them that though He had not yet appeared in glory, as they expected Messiah would have done, a day would come when he would do so. "Hereafter you shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven." They would yet see that very Jesus of Nazareth, whom they had arraigned at their bar, appear in all majesty as King of kings. (
Rev. 1:7.)
It is a striking fact which we should not fail to notice, that almost the last word spoken by our Lord to the Jews, was a warning prediction about His own second advent. He tells them plainly that they would yet see Him in glory. No doubt he referred to the seventh chapter of Daniel, in the language that he used. But He spoke to deaf ears. Unbelief, prejudice, self-righteousness covered them like a thick cloud. Never was there such an instance of spiritual blindness. Well may the Church of England litany contain the prayer, "From all blindness — and from hardness of heart, good Lord deliver us."
Let us observe, in the last place,
how much our Lord endured before the council, from false witness and mockery. Falsehood and ridicule are old and favorite weapons of the devil. "He is a liar, and the father of it." (
John 8:44.) All through our Lord's earthly ministry we see these weapons continually employed against Him. He was called a glutton, a wine-bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners. He was held up to contempt as a Samaritan. The closing scene of His life was only in keeping with all the past tenor of it. Satan stirred up his enemies to add insult to injury. No sooner was He pronounced guilty, than every sort of mean indignity was heaped upon Him. "They spit in his face, and buffeted him." "They smote him with the palms of their hands." They said, mockingly, "Prophesy unto us, you Christ, who is he that smote you?"
How astonishing and strange it all sounds! How astonishing that the Holy Son of God should have voluntarily submitted to such indignities, to redeem such miserable sinners as we are! How wonderful, not least, that every tittle of these insults was foretold seven hundred years before they were inflicted! Seven hundred years before, Isaiah had written down the words, "I hid not my face from shame and spitting." (
Isaiah. 50:6.)
Let us draw from the passage one practical conclusion. Let it never surprise us, if we have to endure mockery, and ridicule, and false reports, because we belong to Christ. The disciple is not greater than His Master, nor the servant than His Lord. If lies and insults were heaped upon our Savior, we need not wonder if the same weapons are constantly used against His people. It is one of Satan's great devices to blacken the characters of godly men, and bring them into contempt. The lives of Luther, Cranmer, Calvin, and Wesley supply abundant examples of this. If we are ever called upon to suffer in this way, let us bear it patiently. We drink the same cup that was drunk by our beloved Lord. But there is one great difference. At the worst, we only drink a few bitter drops. He drank the cup to the very dregs.

2024.05.15 13:04 DoGsPaWsLoVe Monday 05/13/24: 14 Posts
Here is the recap of the 14 monetized posts from Kylea and Joseph "Joe" Gomez of Kylea G Weight loss Journey on 05/13/24.
Disclaimer: I am not a physician, influencer, or paid content creator. I am not affiliated with WW. I am semi-retired from healthcare with multiple college degrees. These opinions are my own based on social media content. I wish no harm to Kylea or Joe Gomez.
☎️ If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, please call or text 988 for assistance.
The tagline of Kylea G Weight loss Journey is, "I changed my life with prayer and a playlist of songs. No surgery, no meds. Just Jesus."
DAILY STATS 05/13/24:
0/14 posts discussed prayer
2/14 contained vague references to music
0/14 discussed exercise
0/14 shared a recipe
4/14 were about something Kylea ate or drank
1/14 contained a side by side photo comparison
2/14 were about her current/future pet (one of these was from "Joe" about Amazon pet items)
1/14 "Joe" posted about getting Whataburger
2/14 were about donut holes & a clapback
2/14 were a trip update
📢 For our friends at Meta, that means at least 50% of Kylea's monetized content had nothing to do with weight loss, which is the tagline and purpose of her page.
⚠️ Disordered Eating- Daily Food Consumption (Data compiled from monetized content):
5 WW Points: Barebell Cookies & Cream Protein Bar
0 WW Points: Alani Nu Energy Drink (🚨 These contain 200mg of caffeine)
9 WW Points: TWO In-N-Out "Protein style" hamburgers wrapped in lettuce.
0 WW Points: Bahama Buck's Sugar-free Birthday Cake & Sugar-free Strawberry Cheesecake flavored shaved ice.
📢 For our friends at Meta, that means Kylea consumed 14 out of (up to) 30 daily WW points in maintenance mode= Disordered Eating. This is dangerous messaging for her 138k+ followers on a weight loss journey.
Recipes Shared:
ZERO
🚨 Please speak with a medical professional about any questions or concerns you have about your health.
Comments: Kylea CHOSE to continue posting triggering food content, and clapped back at followers for questioning it.
⚠️ Binge Eating, Compulsive Buying Disorder (CBD), aka shopping addiction, Disordered Eating, Food Addiction, Gaslighting, and Religion will be discussed.
Post 1. Donut Hole Controversy: Kylea posted an empty donut hole bag and claimed her sister ate all of them at 3 WW points each. When called out by a follower, Kylea responded with this, "I don't eat donuts. I support other people eating whatever they'd like to eat. What's unhealthy is commenting on other people's food choices.💖💖💖"
Post 2. Using the Pet Cat for Content: This nontent was her male cat's reaction to being told his puppy sister arrives on Sunday.
Post 3. Protein Bar Slip Up: Kylea recycled an old photo of her holding a Barebell protein bar and tried to act like the photo was taken today. 👀
Post 4. Trip Update: Kylea is shopping for puppy bandanas online because Birdie "only" has 6, while her sister drives. She is listening to 🎶 in the car. 💤 This is nontent.
Post 5. "Unhealthy" Food Clapback: Narcissistic, defiant Kylea had to get the last word in.
"I had someone comment that I post a lot of "unhealthy" food for a weight loss page. The point of my page is to show others that all foods are healthy in moderation. What is not healthy, is commenting on other people's food choices. Mind your own plate. 💖 I personally eat very healthy myself but I support all of the people around me in whatever food choices they want to make for their own lives. I will never and have never commented on someone else's food choice for their own lives."
⏸️ This is gaslighting. Here we go...
- Kylea is triggered by words like treat, craving, and indulge but was not at the beginning of her weight loss journey.
- Kylea is afraid to own a microwave because it could jeopardize her recovery with food addiction and give her quick access to convenient foods. (Please ignore the air fryer and cabinets full of snacks.)
- If Kylea does not like what Joe is eating at a restaurant, she has placed the menu between them so she does not have to see it.
- Joe is not allowed to have regular condiments in the fridge.
- Joe is to "support" her by eating foods he does not prefer at home (most of the time).
- Kylea controls what Joe eats when she is away from home.
- Please ignore all comments Kylea makes on the Basham and Lee families' social media accounts about food.
- Kylea does not eat clean.
- She triggers her followers with calorie-dense items on purpose for monetary gain.
- Kylea has disordered eating.
If that list isn't enough to question her speech, a follower requested a 24-hour food log and the # of daily WW points Kylea uses. Kylea replied, "after months of bullying over that because of how healthy I do eat, I won't ever do that again. It's for my peace that I no longer do."
📢 To our friends at Meta, why is a "weight loss influencer" allowed to refuse to answer follower questions about WW (her chosen tool) and refuse to provide an example of what she eats in a day? This is the job YOU pay her to do.
Post 6. Alani Nu: Avoid this beverage (200mg caffeine) if you are unsure about your recommended caffeine intake.
Post 7. Trip Update: Her sister drove 6 hours. They have to be at the airport tomorrow at 4 am.
Post 8. Fort Worth Stockyards: This photo editing fail made Kylea appear 8 feet tall with a shrunken head and long extremities. Upon follower questions, she blamed her sister for how she held the phone. 🤔
Post 9. IN-N-Out Burger: Kylea's sister ate a cheeseburger & fries, and Kylea had 2 "protein style" hamburgers she claimed were called "protein burgers." Umm, nope.
Post 10. Shaved Ice: Kylea's sister got the baby size shaved ice, and Kylea got a significantly larger-sized cup.
⏸️ I smirked as Kylea claimed the protein bar was "yummy," the In-N-Out was "really good," and the sugar-free shaved ice, "It is SO good!!," but the giant iced cookie cake slice yesterday was "fine." She loves to gaslight and act holier-than-thou. 😇
Post 11. Whataburger: "Joe" posted his bag of Whataburger after waiting 1.5 hours in the drive-thru on opening day.
⏸️ How are the donut holes, energy drink, cheeseburger and fries, and regular shaved ice Kylea's sister consumed, and Whataburger her husband consumed healthy weight loss content? Why is Meta paying her for this nonsense?
Post 12. Amazon Purchases: "Joe" posted a picture of more puppy items and said, "Can you tell my wife is excited about her new role as dog mom 😂 😂" This is nontent.
Post 13. May 2021 vs Today: Kylea is "forever proud of the girl who changed her entire life -208 lbs."
⏸️ Kylea, you traded addictions. That is not something to be proud of. You are terrified of the scale and heavily modify your photos. That is not something to be proud of, either. You can spend all the money and travel the world but you are not happy. Quite the opposite. Seek medical care. ☮️
Post 14. Final Update: Kylea feels "uplifted" from window shopping at the Stockyards and local Target with her sister, listening to country music.
Takeout Purchases: Donut Holes= $3.50 est; In-N-Out Burger: Cheeseburger & Fries with 2 "Protein-style" Hamburgers (online prices)= $11.75 est; Bahama Buck's Baby & Regular Sized Shaved Ice= $9.18 + tip; Whataburger (unknown food)= $8 est;

2024.05.15 05:30 delibirdguy Top 500 Songs Ever (Subjective)
Over the course of the past few months I have been working on compiling a list of my 500 favorite songs. It was sort of challenge that I gave myself and I'm super pumped with how it turned out. There were a few rules (only 5 songs per artist being the big rule, among a few others), and here's the list I came up with. Thought it was fun, so wanted to share here and see if it might spark any discussion about song placement, lack of songs/artists, or see if anyone had any similar lists. All thoughts are welcome!

2024.05.15 03:13 Tree_Of_Palm A (admittedly flawed) theory about the identity of Madame X, as well as an additional crack theory that I made while sleep deprived. (Spoilers for the entire game)
Ok this is gonna be a very long, rambling, and probably somewhat disorganized post, so please bear with me.
I'm sure other people have had this same idea as well, but I'm not subscribed to the rebornevo forums and I'm not very active on this subreddit either, so I don't know how frequently it's been discussed outside of the small number of times I've seen it on Twitter, which still was after I had the thought when I first played V12 years ago. Even if it is I still wanted to try and organize my thoughts about it and present all of the evidence that brought me to think this even without engaging much with the larger community.
To jump right into it, the theory that I've been subscribing to for a pretty long time and was very confident in (until realizing some flaws with it) is that Madame X is the incarnation of Nymiera from Maria(nette)'s now dead universe, which is likely the same universe that Clear, Kieran, and potentially the Thunder Warrior Tapu Koko are from. She was defeated by her universe's Indriad but somehow managed to escape with her life, albeit badly injured, and was effectively out of commission, which led to Indriad eventually being able to bring about Storm 9 which would eventually lead to the end the world. Nymiera then likely got help from either her world's Xara and Jean, or Clear and Kieran themselves to construct her suit and escape to the next universe.
There's quite a few reasons I have to think this. I feel like a ton of evidence from throughout the game supports the idea, and I've been making note of them for years at this point. This is gonna be a bit meandering, but it's really difficult to organize thoughts about a plot as complicated as Rejuv's even if you're focusing on only one character, so again please bear with me:
- The most obvious point is that Madame X shows up directly in the prologue, to the Maria that becomes the one we meet in the Chrysalis manor. She clearly already has some amount of control over time at this point as well, meaning she had likely already claimed her world's time diamond but was unable to stop Indriad using it.
- Nymiera clearly still remembers the old world we learn about in the Third Layer. She knows Adrest by name and recognizes his presence within the player, hints at the emergence of the Zeight in the present day, and knows about the Archetype. Madame X, in the first cutscene where she's introduced at Blacksteeple, immediately refers to the player as the Interceptor, and she also clearly recognizes the power the Melia gains from the Archetype in the Bad Future. They in general seem to possess similar knowledge of major concepts like these.
- Although you could argue that she might simply have learned about these things from Clear and Kieran, the fact that we see Madame X specifically talking to Maria in the prologue shows that she was at least aware of the Archetype already.
- This is an admittedly very small point that is potentially a coincidence, but I still want to acknowledge it: Madame X's suit seems to be evoking the image of a dragon and mostly uses dark colors. The two characters that we know are directly descended from Nymiera, Alexandra and Damian, favor Dragon and Dark type Pokemon, respectively.
- We know that Nymiera dual wielded crystal swords as her primary weapons rather than relying on Pokemon, and Madame X engages in combat almost exclusively with her sword. The only exception that we see is her attacking the player with her Yveltal at Blacksteeple Castle.
- We see the aforementioned crystal swords, as well as the corpse of Hazuki's Aegislash, within the storage room of the Chrysalis Manor, which all but confirms that Nymiera and the Defenders of Aevium were soundly defeated by Indriad in this timeline and he claimed their weapons as trophies.
- As a small thought on the full fate of her world's defenders: Vivian was already dead because of the botched ritual, Hazuki was most likely killed, Anju was defeated but taken alive and imprisoned, likely to act as a potential vessel for Indriad (which is something I'd also like to talk about but that's best saved for another post). Given how cruel of a man Indriad is and how much he likes to torment people, I think that crippling Nymiera so she could no longer stand against him and then forcing her to live with the pain of her failure sounds like the type of thing he'd do. This is more of a headcanon, though, not something I'm actually trying to present as a major evidence for the theory.
- Because of .Karma Files we have explicit confirmation that Nymiera is an incarnation of Xerneas; it's a little on the nose for sure, but this can explain why she so heavily associates with the letter X, including why she took her name and took the name of Team Xen for her own, new organization even though it otherwise seems to be completely unrelated to the Team Xen of the Miera Region.
- If her mask is destroyed at the Pyramid, and she's effectively defeated prior to Clear and Kieran's intervention, she makes a remark about how the battle would have gone differently if not for her suit. It's vague, yes, but the implication is that the suit places some sort of limit on her power and she'd be far stronger without it, as while wearing it she can't fight at full capacity. This explains why she only wields one sword instead of two, as she likely can't dual wield without her full physical strength.
- This next bit is straying into headcanon territory, so I don't fully count it for the theory, but we don't know exactly why she's wearing the suit; it's definitely not just to hide her identity, because there'd be far easier ways of doing that. I like to think that it's necessary for her to survive and limits her power to keep her from overexerting herself, similar to Darth Vader's suit from Star Wars. This would make sense with the idea I have that she was grievously wounded by Indriad even though she survived her fight with him.
- We know that there's a second Blacksteeple Castle on the same island that's hidden behind a protective barrier, which only Madame X can pass through. It's likely that this is the original Blacksteeple Castle and the one that we occupy during the prison arc is just a replica. We see in the Bad Future that Blacksteeple Castle has some sort of connection to Nymiera with the mosaic that we see. It's confirmed by Madame X that Blacksteeple was once Nymiera's castle, that she lost in the war mentioned in the legend that Nymiera tells to us. This would explain why Madame X is so protective of the original castle in the present day and why she can access it.
- This would also explain why so much Xerneas iconography is still included in the replica of the castle.
- We already know from the Regi sidequests in V13.5 that Nymiera's view of morality was a bit... warped, and she was willing to do some truly inhumane and manipulative shit if she thought it was necessary for the good of the many. Madame X's methods are obviously far more extreme than Nymiera's ever were, but even though her motivations and ultimate goal are unclear there's still hints that all of the things she's responsible for are, to her, just a means to an end. If Madame X is Nymiera, with her spirit having been broken by her failure to stop her world's Indriad, it's not hard to see how that already warped "Good of the many no matter the cost" mentality could evolve into doing absolutely anything to achieve her goals.
- The underground chamber in Kugearen where we find the Weird Diary has a lot going on, but the notable things are the statues of the Defenders,drawing of the Archetype, and map of present day Aevium. Hazuki's is missing, and Anju and Nymiera's are destroyed, with the game specifically noting that their eyes are torn out. There is no statue of Hazuki, and Vivian's is not only intact, but poised for battle. To break this all down a bit:
- The Archetype symbol being so prominent as well as the present-day map show that it's someone who can both time travel and knows about the Archetype
- The three statues are of the Defenders that we know will suffer a poor fate.
- Hazuki's is missing because she is the only that survived.
- Vivian's is standing and complete because she was the only one able to mostly die on her own terms, but her spirit still struggled because of the failed spell; being poised for battle still lines up with the curse placed on her reincarnations.
- Anju and Nymiera are both missing in the present day and were never seen again. Anju's fate is ambiguous, but obviously there's something going on with Angie (Which I have another theory about, but again, story for another post). Nymiera's spirit has appeared, but clearly can only do so much, as her only real act aside from talking to the player is transferring Hazuki's power to Saki.
- Nymiera fancied herself an artist, and seemed to especially like working with stone given the many statues in Blacksteeple as well as the multiple stone carvings in her room.
- All of this points to someone who can reliably time travel, knows of the archetype, has knowledge of Rift Pokemon, and has an intimate knowledge of the Defenders and their fates. Madame X is the only person who meets all of those first few qualifications, and it's also worth noting that Madame X's suit distinctly lacks eyes, similar to the two statues.
Essentially, the image I see with this is a Nymiera who became so disgusted at her own failures that she threw everything away, including her old identity, and and decided the best way to create a good world was to tear everything down and rebuild it herself, taking her belief in "The good of the many" to its furthest extreme and becoming a vengeful and bitter person in the process. She keeps "protecting" the Interceptor in hopes that their own quest will eventually guide them to resetting everything and destroying Karma for good.
However... in the process of thinking through this all over the last couple days, I realized several holes in this theory that I have to acknowledge, and keep it from really being an effective one.
First, if Nymiera is the avatar of Xerneas, then why is Madame X only ever seen using a Yveltal?
Second, the
one aspect of Madame X's backstory story that she elected to reveal to us is about her mother. In her own words, "My "mother" was a weak individual who gave her life to protect me". Not only does Nymiera never hint at anything remotely similar this, but none of Adrest, Variya, or any of the files Adrest sends to Erin hint at anything even remotely close to this for Nymiera.
Third, which I think is the biggest issue: when we see Madame X's mask get broken by Sakitron at the pyramid, what little we see of her appearance doesn't exactly match up with Nymiera. What appears to be black hair could also just be a broken piece of her mask, her eyes are a bright red, and even though we barely see any skin, it visibly is not as dark as Nymiera's.
The first point is actually pretty easy to explain: the Yveltal is Indriad. Obviously we don't know how Indriad
became a Yveltal, but there is precedent for shit like this happening and there's multiple hints towards it:
- Indriad is confirmed at the end of .Karma files is an avatar of Yveltal in the same way that Nymiera is one of Xerneas.
- In the Bad Future, when Melanie summons her Yveltal, she explicitly refers to it as her father. Melanie is a bad future version of Melia, Melia is in some capacity connected to Maria and is still explicitly related to Indriad's kids, the implication is pretty clear.
- There are other physical avatars of legendaries in the game: Spacea and Tiempa, who both can transform into the legendaries they are the avatars of. I don't know if it's ever been confirmed if Griselda was an explicit avatar of Giratina, but nonetheless, she was permanently transformed into one and can't change back. It's not unreasonable to see something similar happening to Indriad given that we don't know his final fate in the game's main timeline yet.
- Yes, this means there's some fucky shit going on with Angie, I have ideas about that as well but that also takes a ton of explanation and is best saved for a different post.
The other two though... I think more or less disprove the theory. Family-related trauma is already one of the game's biggest theme; if Nymiera had something related to her mother, it would have been made clear by this point. And there's just no way that I can think of to really justify the drastic difference in appearance between the two. I could simply handwave it and say "The differences in appearance are either a spriting error or a lighting thing with her helmet" and "We just haven't learned about Nymiera's mother yet", but both of those would just be copout answers to ignore.
I'm still confident that I'm onto something here and there is a connection between these two characters, but can't confidently say that I think I'm 100% correct.
...so instead I came up with a crackpot theory that nonetheless I think has a nonzero chance of being true, although its much less likely .
Madame X isn't an alternate universe Nymiera. She's an alternate universe Nim. Is it a stupid assertion? Yes. But hear me out, starting with some of the more minor points:
- There is very obviously a connection between Nim and Nymiera. The game's placed a lot of emphasis on Nim's relationship to Alexandra and Damian, Nymiera's direct descendents, and Nim took her name from Nymiera's. When Nim appears in the flashback with Alexaandra and Damian she's calling out the names of Hazuki and the player character, yelling for them to watch out. This implies four things:
- Nim originates in the past and was sent into the future.
- Given that we haven't met her in the past, she probably comes into existence in the state that she already was.
- Nim will meet the player and Hazuki in the past during some dangerous event, most likely a final battle with Indriad before Storm-9 fully hits, as we still don't know the final fate of the Defenders.
- She doesn't say Anju and Nymiera's names, implying either something already happened to them or Nim was cut off in the middle of her sentence when she was sent forward in time.
- Despite Madame X claiming that Nymiera is dead, her spirit has appeared multiple times and is still very aware of the ongoing plot. Her body, however, has not.
- Clear going out of her way to manipulate Nim shows that Madame X likely has an interest in Nim herself.
- While she obviously prefers to use her psychic abilities, Nim's still clearly proficient with melee weapons as there's a handful of times where she uses her... hairpin things as a polearm of sorts.
There's three main reasons I think there actually is something here though: Nim's physical appearance, Madame X's "mother", and the reason Madame X needs her suit despite it making her weaker.
First: Nim's physical appearance is
extremely similar to Madame X's under her mask. As Lorna, we can see that her pupils have a red hue very similar to Madame X's. Looking at both Nim's sprites and her official art, her skin tone is lighter than Nymiera's but still darker then most of the rest of the cast, which also lines up with the broken mask. Finally, assuming Madame X actually has black hair and that's not just a broken part of her mask in the sprite, Nim's hair is the same color.
Second: When Madame X mentions her "Mother", its quoted, presumably for air quotes. While it could just be her disrespecting her "Mother", it feels far more significant than that, like its moreso implying that whoever she's talking about wasn't her mother in the traditional sense. Madame X also states that the difference between her "Mother"'s sacrifice and the player's mom's sacrifice is that the player's mom's didn't matter; thus indirectly implying that Madame X's mom's sacrifice was important even if she looks down upon her mom for it. Assuming that Nymiera shares some connection to Nim- be it that Nymiera created her, Nim is her reincarnation, or something else- it's not unreasonable to think that Nim, after overcoming her memory issues, could view Nymiera as something of a mother figure, especially considering that Nim took her name Nymiera's because she felt a connection.
Third: The suit. There's a very obvious reason that Nim would need a suit to suppress her own power: to keep herself from draining the life force of her subordinates and stop her own Storm from getting out of control. It's a leap, sure, but it would explain why she needs a suit that actively inhibits her.
Why would Nim be doing all of this, and how would she become such a cruel and vengeful person? We see something similar happen to our own Nim through Clear's manipulation through preying on her fears and insecurities. Assuming bad enough shit happened to her, I could absolutely see an alternate universe Nim who lacked the support of characters like Aelita, Melia, and the Player going down this path.
Is this theory accurate? Probably not, but it was really fun to think about. I never fucking know what's gonna happen with this game which is why it's so fun to speculate about the absolute mess of lore that it has.
Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this massive ramble, it was fun to write and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!

2024.05.12 08:35 EJC28 Steelers 2024 Draft Analysis Compilation
Round 1, Pick 20 - Troy Fautanu, OT, Washington: NFL: Fautanu is an ultra-versatile, plug-and-play option at multiple spots along the Steelers front. With new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith committed to running the ball, Fautanu fits right in as an imposing blocker who can help pave the way for Najee Harris.
CBS Sports: B. The Steelers needed another tackle to go with Broderick Jones, but Fautanu can also play inside. He is a physical player who fits what they want to do. This is a nice, solid Steelers pick.
ESPN: The board fell in such a way that the Steelers had their pick of the draft's top centers and cornerbacks, but they opted instead to select an offensive tackle with their first-round pick for the second year in a row. Though his frame suggests he's capable of moving inside, Fautanu is a ready-made starter at left tackle. Coach Mike Tomlin said they "legitimately see" Fautanu as a tackle and he figures to displace current starter Dan Moore Jr., who's started nearly every game at the position since he was drafted in 2021. That would pair him with Broderick Jones at right tackle, last year's first-round pick, who started 11 games a rookie.
NFL Absolutely Not Fake News: Eats his ice dish of cream with a fork and knife.
Round 2, Pick 51 - Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia: NFL: Following the first-round selection of Troy Fautanu, Frazier makes for another commendable OL addition. He's not a top-tier athlete, but with 46 college starts, strong football intelligence and a gnarly demeanor, Frazier is a typecast Steelers center.
CBS Sports: A-. Ultra-experienced battler at center. Mobility and leverage are fantastic. Awareness is arguably the best in the class. Low center of gravity helps him anchor like a champ. Doesn’t have freaky burst but flexible. Wrestling background. Exactly the type the Steelers need up front.
ESPN: The Steelers answered perhaps their most pressing need entering the draft by selecting Frazier, a local product who impressed the Steelers with his consistency and work ethic as a four-year starter at West Virginia. Frazier figures to slot in right away as the Steelers' starting center after the team released two-year starter Mason Cole prior to free agency. Frazier, a two-time All-American, is the second offensive lineman drafted by the Steelers this year and third taken by the team in the first two rounds of the past two drafts, showing the Steelers' commitment to building their offense from the trenches.
NFL Absolutely Not Fake News: Is known to eat pureed pumpkin straight out of the can.
Round 3, Pick 84 - Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan: NFL: With Diontae Johnson traded to Carolina, there was a vacancy for a quick slot receiver. Consider that filled now. Wilson can win with toughness and competitiveness and has the route-running savvy to separate without ideal measurables and strength. The Steelers scout wide receivers well.
CBS Sports: B-. Slot wideout who doesn’t quite play to his timed speed but has nice burst/lean early in route. Super-reliable hands and has great feel for soft spot in zone. Not going to be much of a YAC type in NFL. Not noticeably quick. Should be decent separator. Adequate Diontae Johnson replacement.
ESPN: After trading away Diontae Johnson, the Steelers needed to replenish the wide receiver room, and they did just that by selecting Wilson -- a versatile threat they hope will extend their streak of drafting solid receivers on Day 2 of the NFL draft. In addition to his speed and ability as a vertical threat, perhaps the most enticing thing about Wilson is his willingness to block, something he showed in Michigan's run-heavy scheme -- and something he'll likely be asked to do frequently in an Arthur Smith offense rooted in a strong run game.
NFL Absolutely Not Fake News: He’s pretty sure he’s gonna get to live on Mars one day.
Round 3, Pick 98 - Payton Wilson, LB, NC State: NFL: Wilson's health concerns were the biggest reason why he fell this far. A top-40 football talent (even with short arms), Wilson has three-down ability and might be a spectacular steal here -- or the type of player who struggles to stay healthy. He might not have a long career, but Wilson is one of the better all-around linebackers in this class.
CBS Sports: A-. First-round film. Do-it-all LB. Coverage skills are awesome. Elite athlete. Ball production was there in college. Range, block-sifting skill. Blitzing. Fine tackler too. Just older, incredibly short arms and vast injury history. Very Steelers pick.
ESPN: The Steelers turned the pick acquired from the Eagles for QB Kenny Pickett into Wilson, adding a speedy defender to a position group Pittsburgh already addressed in free agency by signing Patrick Queen. Though he was healthy and wildly productive the past two seasons with four interceptions, a pick-six and 221 total tackles, Wilson has an extensive injury history that makes him a high-risk, high-reward type of pick. He has torn two ACLs and had a shoulder injury that kept him out of all but two games in 2021. Still, his speed and productivity in coverage figure to make him a great partner to Queen -- and a solid addition with Cole Holcomb still recovering from last year's significant, season-ending knee injury.
NFL Absolutely Not Fake News: He’s gonna buy a mini cow and name it Fredrick with his first check.
Round 4, Pick 119 - Mason McCormick, OG, South Dakota State: NFL: The hits keep coming for the Steelers. It's their third OL pick of the weekend, but McCormick is a strong value here after earning Day 2 grades from some teams. He's an athletic worker with strong experience at the FCS level, and though he's a guard-only projection, McCormick has the makeup of an eight-year pro.
CBS Sports: A. Six-year player at FCS with four full years of starting experience and it shows. Elite-level athlete with low pad level. Grip strength is tremendous. Balance could use some work. Anchor is solid but overall has to get stronger. But this is an assignment sound blocker with ideal frame and experience to thrive instantly. Love how Pittsburgh has rebuilt its OL.
ESPN: Offensive line coach Pat Meyer said it best: Christmas came early. It's hard for him to feel any other way with the Steelers using three of their first five picks on the offensive line. McCormick isn't necessarily a starter from day one, but he's a versatile interior lineman who spent most of his time lining up at left guard for SDSU. He's now part of a young nucleus of offensive linemen tasked with moving the team into the next era of Steelers football along with 2023 first-round pick Broderick Jones and 2024 picks Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier.
NFL Absolutely Not Fake News: Listens to the oldies likes System of a Down.
Round 6, Pick 178 - Logan Lee, DT, Iowa: NFL: Lee is a gifted athlete with a workmanlike, drama-free attitude. But what's his best position? Lee might be best used as a 5-technique where he can occupy tackles and open up playmaking opportunities for others as long as his so-so arm length doesn't hinder him.
CBS Sports: B-. Vintage Steelers pick here. High-caliber athlete who can win at any alignment up front although his productivity in college didn’t match how good of an athlete he is. Could stand to add some weight at next level. Has to get stronger but can win with slippery rushes between gaps.
ESPN: Lee is the Steelers' first pick on the defensive line this year. Though he was versatile in college, he projects as a defensive end in the Steelers system, giving the team depth behind Cameron Heyward and Larry Ogunjobi. Lee also took an official visit to the Steelers during the pre-draft process, further underscoring the significance of those visits. So far, five of the six Steelers 2024 draft picks took official visits to Pittsburgh.
NFL Absolutely Not Fake News: This guy at pick 178 no matter what. The sticky note said so.
Round 6, Pick 195 - Ryan Watts, CB, Texas: NFL: Watts has the length to be tried as a zone corner for the Steelers, or he could be tried at safety, where Watts took reps at the East-West Shrine Bowl. He's a height-weight-speed prospect whose future home isn't clear.
CBS Sports: B+. Huge, sensationally long outside CB. Not crazy fast nor a freaky athlete but can get to the football because of his length. Explosive from his backpedal and active against the run. Wants to blow up outside screens and does so often. Ball skills aren’t stellar right now. Fascinating project.
ESPN: The Steelers finally address their need at cornerback with their final scheduled pick in the 2024 draft by selecting Watts, who spent two years at Ohio State before transferring to Texas. The Steelers released Patrick Peterson this offseason but added Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson in the trade for receiver Diontae Johnson. Still, the team lacked depth at the position, and Watts, a versatile 6-3, 208-pound defensive back, helps fill that void as a developmental prospect.
NFL Absolutely Not Fake News: He is also known for his dominance in extreme ironing competitions.

2024.05.11 19:41 HopefulAccount5210 The Idea that the IB can’t stop time zone cheating is a myth.
Okay so let me preface this with a little background. People seem to think that the IB can’t do anything about the, frankly ridiculous quantity of cheating that has happened this year. For a few reasons, the main one being that the IB can’t create and ship such a significant quantity of exam papers to so many different time zones. This is false. The driving factor behind this is money, and people seem to think that the IB doesn’t have the money to
A: Hire enough people needed to make the papers and answers and grade them.
&
B. Ship them in a timely manner and also be able to afford shipping
This idea is a myth. Let’s break it down shall we? The International baccalaureate Organisation has an annual profit margin of 70-73% of its annual revenue which sits as of 2023 at 208 million US dollars. Do I really need to elaborate further? Realistically the cost of hiring another hundred staff along with the logistics of that including equipment, space, IT (in terms of getting access to serves), and general miscellaneous costs will not cost more than 10million more dollars a year. Clearly the IB would never make a change that loses them 10million a year however we need to stop perpetuating the idea that the IB is somehow “financially Incapable” of fixing the biggest issue the program has at this time. We need to start holding them accountable for the fact that they are screwing us over to maintain their bottom line.
Do what this information what you will:

2024.05.10 16:50 -ofcitsme- How should I Optimize my Itinerary? Which cities to skip on my round the "world" trip?
I can promise to read & reply to each single comment here!
I worked out with my workplace a ‘deal’ allowing me to take 80/90 days off. I can’t realistically push it longer. I was always fascinated by the concept of literally going around the world, so my idea was to do that (the connection with the novel is not lost on me).
As it's impossible to see everything in such a limited time i'll focus on highlights and big cities (which I love). I'll try to squeeze nature, hikes and sea in day-trips while I'm travelling. I'm fine with getting a taste and coming back in the future for a deeper dive in the countries I liked! I'm also fine with this many planes potentially being budget-unwise.
Itinerary - [~16th August][Vietnam for ~10 days] Depart from Europe -> Hanoi. Plan is to see Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, and day trips to NimBin. Last 2-3 days for intra-flights to Hoi An.
- [~26th of August][Thailand for 7 days.] Hoi An -> Bangkok. Limiting myself to day trips around Bangkok as it’s an airport hub. Could consider 3 days in the south as “stop-over” (Ko Samui?) .
- [~2 September][10 Days in Malesia] Flying to Penang. Staying there for a few days to sample the local food and explore around the city. Then taking a train down to Kuala Lumpur to meet with some friends on the 5th of September. We’ll eventually go onwards to SIngapore the 10th of September, where we’ll stay a few days before they depart back to Europe. (this is the only obligated stop, as i'm meeting friends)
- [~13 September][Travel across China for 18 days] Singapore -> Mainland China. I’ve been to Beijing & The Great Wall already, so I’m going to skip them this time. My plan is to land in Shanghai and move around with trains for <15 days (visa limit). My idea for the trip is Shanghai & nearby (Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing), Chengdu and ending in Hong Kong for ~4 extra days (I have some friends there).
- [~2 October][Taipei 8 days] Hong Kong -> Taipei, stay there for ~8 days. Only do day trips from there.
- [~10 October][Seoul 7 days] Fly to Seoul, stay there for ~7 days. Only day trips from there. (Suwon, DMZ)
- [~17 October][Japan 10 Days] I’ve been to Japan already ~20 days in a previous trip, in Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo so I’m going to focus on different places. Fly to Fukuoka, Shinkansen for Hiroshima -> Kobe -> Tokyo.
- [~26 October] Tokyo to San Francisco. Short layover in the USA in California. Seems well connected from Tokyo and then coming back from there to Europe.
I'd appreciate any feedback from people that visited these places / have experience with longish-term travel planning. (who might know that cramming this much could be tricky).
The biggest question I have, and was not able to find a conclusive answer while looking at other threads:
Q: I’m sure I could spend months in a single city and not be able to see it all (Tokyo comes to my mind), at the same time since my limited time I will focus on making the most in a more limited times, is there any stop you feel I vastly overestimated / underestimate the days I would need to stay? Some places I’m leaving a few extra days to take small-breaks from the hectic plans, to account for potential change of plans.
Q: Looking at other experience posts it seems Vietnam in August is at best being super-hot, at worst quite rainy. Any experience on this front? Would it make sense to skip Vietnam and instead “spread” the 10 days I was planning on spending there to make the rest of the trip less packed? I can consider going back to Vietnam at a different time in the future.
Q: Anyone done anything similar? I tried to search for similar routes but was not lucky, if so please share your itineraries / posts and I’d be happy to read through it! :) (I saw some similar ideas, but nothing quite like this)

2024.05.09 19:40 Philothea0821 Prayer, efficiency, and the authority of God
I came across some thoughts regarding prayer to the saints that I found incredibly fascinating. I hope you do too.
Often times in objecting to prayer to the saints, Protestants will say "Why pray to the saints when you can go directly to God?" Jesus split the veil. We have direct access to the Father through Jesus. We do not
need to go through intermediaries!
And they would be correct. One of the things that I LOVE about Protestants is their dedication to the sovereignty of God (not that Catholics are not). So I really do understand where Protestants come from when they say "Doesn't this detract from the authority of Jesus?" This is what I want to address.
First of all, I think one of the biggest problems with Protestantism is the individuality of it. Christianity is not an individualistic religion. Its not meant to be. In Genesis 2, we read this:
Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Man should not be alone. Furthermore, and this verse comes up a lot on this topic, James 5:16 -
Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects. So, we are all in the journey to Heaven together!
But why go through intermediaries? Again, we have direct access to the Father. Well for starters, God does not listen to sinners (See John 9:31) and there are no sinners in Heaven (because they have been purified from all sin prior to going into Heaven). So God listens to the saints. God listens to those who obey Him.
Secondly, I want to share a passage that many might not be familiar with (part of this should sound familiar to Catholics):
As he entered Caper′na-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him 6 and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress.” 7 And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion answered him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I say to you, not even\)a\) in Israel have I found such faith. 11 I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.” 13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; be it done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment. The part just before the bolded, should be familiar to Catholics as we say these exact words (except "my soul" in place of "my servant") at Mass. But what is interesting is the Roman Centurion notes that as a person in authority, he acts through servants. He tells people what to do and they do it. So, it is with God. We see Jesus say "I could ask my Father to send 12 legions of angels down to my rescue." The Father
could also just handle it himself, but that is not what God does. God does not take the path with the least number of steps. He takes the one that will produce the best result.
2 other examples of this:
1)
The Wedding Feast at Cana -
Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him. 2)
Jesus and the Woman of Samaria -
Now when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed again to Galilee. Who is acting in each of these passages? Jesus? Or somebody else? In the wedding feast, Jesus never even touches the jars. He does not
do anything, yet John says "This is the first of Jesus' signs."
In the second passage, it says "Jesus is doing the baptizing" but who
actually does the baptizing? The disciples.
Jesus works through intermediaries. The saints do not detract from God's authority, but rather are an extension of it. The authority of Jesus acts through the saints and angels in Heaven.
So, to summarize:
1) We pray to saints, not because we cannot go to God directly, but because they have been perfected by the will of God and thus, their prayers are more efficacious than if we did it our selves.
2) We are all one body in Christ, Heaven or Earth. I like to imagine that as we sing our hymns down here on Earth, we are simultaneously joining in song with all of the angels and saints in Heaven as mentioned by the hymn "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name!" We do not journey to Heaven by ourselves. We have God and everyone else in Heaven above and the Earth below to help us!
3) God rarely chooses to act Himself. Jesus could very well have continued to live on even until today. He could have stayed behind to continue to teach. But he didn't. He passed that torch on to St. Peter and the apostles. Christ acts in the world today through His Church! He does not have to, but He chooses to. Not to take away from His sovereignty but to share it with us and make us an extension of that authority. We recognize that miracles that result from the intercession of saints are not the saints doing, but God's working through the saint!
Let us pray:
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lord, Heavenly Father, we join together with all Your saints in angels in Heaven in thanking Thee for the divine gift of Your Most Holy Church that has the apostles and all their successors throughout the ages as her foundation, all other believers as her bricks, and You as her Cornerstone! We thank you for the gift of your saints and that You may show Yourself to us today through them and that others may be shown You through us.
We humbly recognize that You have chosen each and every one of us for a specific purpose, even if unknown to us. We ask You today for the grace to be made aware of that purpose, so that we may faithfully and humbly build your Kingdom here on Earth. As without end we acclaim: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of hosts! Heaven and Earth are filled with Thy Glory! Hosanna in the Highest!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. World without end. Amen.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

2024.05.08 19:13 Legental E-208 (2022) film over entertainment screen
G'day Peugeot drivers!
I've recently acquired the E-208 2022 model ''used'' with 1,5k kilometers on it. I noticed there's a film/protector on the entertainment unit which is harder to pull off the screen than a protective film which usually is on new screens to take off. As searching Google and Reddit hasn't answered my question yet, I was wondering if it's standard on this casafe to remove as it's noticable there's a film on the screen on any app that's not using a dark theme. Thank you!
