2024.05.19 10:09 zeeks123 Buying a new router, which to get?

Im in the process of changing from 100/20 speed to 1000/50.
My current router wifi is terrible and i want to have better wifi through the house. (2 story house). the router can go upstairs or downstairs but seems to only give connection on whatever level it is based on.
Besides also wanting better wifi throughout the entire house for general devices, i also play competitive online games while plugged in through ethernet. I want the lowest latency possible and from research ive heard i need a router with good sqm to not get any bufferbloat.
Considering these 2 main requirements what current route/s would best suite?
Thanks

2024.05.19 10:09 Original-Ad-8779 cant get over a girl I was in a situationship.

i am a 20M and this other person is a 19F. So about a month or 2 ago, I was in a situation for around 6 or 7 months with this one girl. this girl is someone I've had history from a few years ago where we cut ties for a few years and somehow reconnected before college started again. i have never felt any way for this girl and never liked a girl for this long ever. even tho we called it a "situationship" we completely acted as if we were dating. I would pick her up from parties, take her to wherever she needed to go, and she would crash at my apartment for nearly 6 to 7 months every weekend. the weekend was the only thing i was looking forward to during the entire week i simply did not care if i had anything else planned.
fast forward 6-7 months, we get to the "what are we?" question. i straight up tell her that I have feelings for her and ask her if she is against the idea of a relationship which she answers she is not, but she has to figure out if she is attached to me or if she actually has feelings for me. a little over 2 weeks, she sits me down again and she tells me she is most likely attached and tells me that she wants to end things since if we dont, it will just be a cycle with no end, and there is a possibility where we would get even more hurt if it lasts any longer.
a little over 2 months has passed since that talk and we are still good friends but i can not get this girl out of my head. im constantly thinkings about her and trying to make plans during the weekend if i dont have anything to do. the first thing i do when i wake up is to see if i have a notification from her. i havent had a feeling like this for a girl ever. ( i want her so fucking bad).
im coming to the conclusion that im just going to keep on having feelings for her but not telling her or hoping this feeling eventually fades away. but im 100% sure there's always going to be a thought in the back of my mind that i want to eventually want to get together with her.
im genuinely in a have no clue if my current plan is valid or not. what should i do?

2024.05.19 10:09 CorbyAndOrBorby How do I move on

How do I move on
This is going to be about the Pineapple conure(Daisy) and the turqoise cinnamon conure(Olive). So Olive was my absolute love. Their cage is in my room so she was my roommate also. She would come and preen me while I slept every pmce and awhile lol. Oh she was my heart. A few months after we got her, we got my other dear Daisy. A very very nervous girl that was passive and was never handled beforehand. They fell in love with one another.
In January, the worst thing happened when in a sudden blink of an eye, Olive went from completing fine and then dying in our hands. I was not okay and I'm still trying to heal. Daisy was left alone but she loves other birds and wouldn't let me love her no matter how long I worked with her. So I know I needed a friend, even if I wasn't done healing from Olive. Daisy made Olive's noises so it was like I still had her in a way. I connected with Daisy as much as I possibly could. I still tried with any hand training to one day get to that point she would let me, but I would talk with her a ton and tell her I love her and bop with her. But she still needed a friend. About a month ago maybe I finally got the yellowsided turquoise, Tulip. Tulip is a fire cracker and also doesnt like handling as her breeder didn't care enough. Yet Daisy loved her immediately and they would cuddle at night.
I got my very first job 3 weeks ago. While rushing out for work, I accidentally forgot to close my door. On the 17th, the family had the back door open, something scared the birds and Tulip and Daisy went flying. I don't know how anyone was able to get Tulip, thank God they did. But Daisy has been gone. We had a reported sighting of her the next day but since, nothing. She has been posted on all the facebook missing pets in my area.
This was so lengthy, I am very sorry. I just don't know what to do. I've been so torn up and riddled with guilt that I'm nauseous and now my new bird that was meant to be the support bird has been showing some signs of loneliness also. I don't know how to get over this. I assume Daisy is gone. I'm trying not to lose hope but with how easily she lets herself get bullied, I can see her being hurt and maybe even killed by wild birds or chased off far enough. My eyes are hurting from the crying. Knowing that she has died/will die cold and alone keeps hitting something deep in me. I dont know how to be okay and move on after losing my two dear pieces of my soul so close after the other and now have to worry about Tulip by herself.

2024.05.19 10:08 DarlinSS HELP with connect the batteries.

HELP with connect the batteries.
I currently have four batteries. Two of them I personally have been using for about three years, and they are quite old, and two are newer, but their problem is that they are exhausted because their previous user was putting a huge load on them for short periods, but they helped me, because the previous batteries did not spend a long time at all in use.
My consumption is approximately 150W≈255VA during the night (400W during the day), and my system is a 3K hybrid inverter with five 335W solar panels produce (1200W≈) to cover my usage and charge the batteries during the day (40A charging current), and in the evening I rely on the batteries completely.
But unfortunately, the device often starts tooting after about four hours due to the low battery voltage, and this remains the case until the battery power is fully consumed after approximately 10/12 hours. (Off at 21V) (When charging 26.5V)
To solve this problem now, I am thinking of changing the battery connections, and rearranging them to make sure there are no problems. I was previously at (2) in the picture, and the matter was disastrous, so I changed them according to the right part of the photo, and now I am thinking of setting them at (1) in the picture so that I can get the highest amperage possible without the voltage being a major problem.
I know that buying batteries is the best solution, but I cannot do that currently. I have 4 more 655W panels that I can plug in instead of the previous set but I don't think my panels are the problem (i.e. they can't fully charge the batteries during the day).
what do you think? Is it better to settle as I am or to change to (1). are there any other solutions?
I have a 900VA ECO-UPS. Would it be better to use it with the two high-voltage batteries at night instead of putting them all on the solar inverter?
And a final question: Does treating these batteries by putting new acid in them after cleaning the cells with boiling water solve the problem partially? Or will this destroy the batteries?

2024.05.19 10:08 okur_time What to do when your family asks you for money you dont even have to survive

Hello guys!
I’ll try my best to keep this story short as possible to read
I got out last year and i still havent started my claim because i was planning to relocate and didnt wanna switch to different providers
The only benefit that i am getting right now is the unemployment payments
My situation is having both of my gambling addiction parents who keeps asking for my money knowing that i am not employed yet and barely making it through
Even after I got out, I still have bills to pay which I don’t even make enough from unemployment to help others
I told them several times that I can’t give them any money and they be all petty and saying i am not helping the parents that raised you and so on
And yes, they ask me to pay their bills too
I can not afford all that and I’m literally maxing out all my credits
I want to not be around them but I will be homeless if I leave their house nor have any money saved up to pay for downpayment
(I had used all my savings and only have about $130 because I had to help them pay bills)
I’m at the point where honestly wanting to k*ll myself sometimes because their gambling addiction and them relying on me for bills and when they asks me for money that I need for my own living
I want to move away asap but I don’t have anything prepared and I’m honestly so hopeless and disappointed of myself
What are something that I can do so I can move out sooner or other veterans benefits that I can apply that wouldn’t take several months to qualify?
To add, the only car I have right now, they are using it everyday since their car broke down and they couldn’t afford to get it repaired and would ask me for the gas money that I don’t even get to drive..
I feel bad that I can’t help and wanting to stay away and even cut ties but I know they are struggling as well so I’m just overwhelmed..

2024.05.19 10:00 ThatWideLife Bit of a messy situation with a custody battle and could use some advice

I'll try to make this as short as possible even though it's a lot.
So I'm currently in a high conflict custody battle of 3 kids that has been going on nearly a year. End of November they issued temporary orders, I got totally screwed because the ex made a false DV accusation right before the hearing through attorneys to get me out of the house which then made her Status Quo so she got 80% custody till final orders. My children are age 3, 4 and now 15(14 at the time of orders). I get them every weekend on a 2 week rotation from either Fri-Sun or Sat-Sun.
So one day after the orders were issued my ex sent me a text that my oldest son wouldn't be coming, said she spoke with her attorney and I can't force him to go. I was represented at this time by a totally worthless attorney who wouldn't contest the temp orders and refused to notify the court that she was refusing visitation of my son.
In January I became Pro Se, I sent her attorney an email asking to resolve the order violation, this guy essentially told me I haven't done enough to be allowed to see my son, essentially blaming me for absolute nonsense. In March I filed a motion to enforce, attorney responded saying I never spoke to him at all and he wasn't aware of any violations. The motion has basically sat there and the judge won't rule on it. I had a motion to appoint a family investigator which was granted, he concluded his investigation at the end of March I believe. Essentially it said, Mom was inappropriately giving him a choice to visit me and also not encouraging him to come. Unsure why he didn't call it Parental Alienation since that's why he was appointed but whatever. Said that none of my children are of mental maturity to decide on custody and said the recommendation is 50/50. In that report it also stated that therapy for me or for reintegration isn't necessary based on his home visit observation with me and all 3 kids. Obviously it said a lot more but won't get into that stuff.
At the latest hearing in May the judge warned her to obey the orders or face serious consequences at final orders. Judge also said she meant to rule on the enforcement but forgot yet still hasn't ruled on it. I asked my ex yet again to see my son and she said because it's mother's day weekend he probably won't want to come but she'll let me know. Of course no response and I didn't get him. I again messaged her attorney, he said I need to attend not only therapy for myself but reintegration therapy before I'm allowed to see him.
Last week I filed a motion for contempt since I'm kinda out of options since she is willfully withholding visitation and knowingly violating the order. There is absolutely no way to mediate anything and her attorney is a nightmare to speak with. I reached out to the county DA office on Friday possibly seeking charges for Parental Interference since maybe criminal court will take this a bit more seriously. I have seen my son maybe 2 hours since November including the hour long investigation for the home visit which she so graciously allowed me to have him for an hour.
So I'm at a loss with all this, I don't want to get all sexist about the family courts but I seriously doubt I'd be allowed to do what she's doing without being handcuffed within the month. This has gone on now nearly 6 months and there's no stopping it. What else can I do to hold her accountable for her actions? Courts don't care and the police generally don't get involved in civil custody disputes.

2024.05.19 09:59 Beneficial-Guava6437 Training advice?

Hiya
I have a 10month chi, she's very friendly and sweet temperament wise. I also have two kids and a push over partner, he's definitely more of the dog person but no boundaries 😮‍💨
I have a few issues I'd appreciate some advice/input on how to train her, as yesterday she escaped the house and ran in front of a car. She is SO lucky it didn't hit her. I spent 15 minutes trying to find her, and that's only because she found a dog walker who grabbed her 😮‍💨
• Doesn't eat unless it's chicken. She will starve herself for days, and then only eat chicken. Vets given advice about no longer changing her pet food in attempts to find ones she likes Previously within a week, if she even ate it, she will reject again and honestly she didn't eat much to begin with. So now it gets put out, if she doesn't eat it within 5 minutes, it's taken away. Then she waits until dinner. It's sort of solved the problem, she's at least eating half of a meal a day.
• Pees everywhere. I've had to throw out a large family rug. She's destroyed my wooden floor. Doesn't like to use puppy mats. She will go outside in the morning now, but that's only recent Banned from unsupervised upstairs as she will pee and poop everywhere. She's also pooped on the kids and my beds before; I've warned my eldest (he adores her) that he can clean it up if she does it on his again, since he wants her on his bed. It's either the kitchen wood floor (which is now all black/dark brown under the table, I wish she would use puppy mats) or living room rug.
• No call back or commands. She just about knows SIT when it suits her. She does know her name. She knows no but doesn't always listen to it, again, unless it suits her. She also knows when she's been naughty as she legs it from me to her bed 🙄 I really need this sorted, she is so fast and regularly escapes. She has a collar with name and number and address etc; but I can't run after her and she will eventually get eaten by another dog (lots of big dogs around here, I've had to lift her before! They must think she's a bunny!) or worse, if this continues.
• Eats everything on the carpet. When she does have a scrap of food, she takes it into the living room onto the carpet. At best she eats on the floor next to her bowl. I've found if i put her food outside, she eats out the bowl itself. But honestly I cannot keep cleaning my carpet of dog food as she smears it in 😭 I'm looking at another stair gate to sadly confine her to the kitchen, now.
• Jumping and biting. I get she's a puppy. But she jumps and bites my kids faces. I'm pregnant ATM and will be due soon, I don't want her accidently hurting the newborn. I don't want to end up having to get rid of her, I want to train it out of her. She doesn't always bite soft, too, she's drawn blood with myself and my youngest child. Unfortunately 🙄 my eldest and partner (and guests, sigh) find it endearing and tell me "she's just playing", and I'm trying to explain if she mauls a neighbour's kids face by accident or their child or my baby, they will soon change their tune! I had a friend in school, who's nose literally has this massive scar where her dog as a puppy, got carried away. The dog was re-homed and she has a permanent fear of dogs.
• Licking - this is just me. I hate licky dogs. We have had several dogs when I was a kid and none like this. She gets carried away and has stuck her tongue up the nose of the lot of them; she doesn't get that chance with me as I put my hand on her head but she still tries.. Kids adore it. Partner adores it 🙄 Anyway to stop her doing it? At least for me 😮‍💨
• When on a lead, there is absolutely no listening skills. She does what she wants. You can say "heel" and stop all you want, she will strangle herself silly.
• Jumping on sofa and stealing pillows, humping pillows, using sofa to launch herself onto living room table to steal food. Also uses sofa to launch into (already set up) baby cot - this certainly has to stop! I put it out already to train her "no" like I used to do with our cat. Our cats old now so he is already trained up in forbidden places etc.
😮‍💨 I've never had this issue with any dogs we had since I was a child/friends puppies. I appreciate I don't have as much time to dedicate, and will be going on maternity leave so I want to be dealing with as much of it as I can before/when baby is here.
Sorry it's so long 😮‍💨 I am just tired and it doesn't help my partner and eldest, she goes straight to them when she's naughty/not getting her way, and then I have to tell them off, too. I'm not daft, I know it's because they give in 🙄
Thank you 🙏

2024.05.19 09:59 createdjustforthis23 19/05/2024

I slept fine, I didn’t fall asleep so nicely. I don’t know why, I felt perfectly adequate all evening and then bam I cry myself to sleep. I don’t know how or why, and I didn’t even cry over anything in particular it was just any and everything. And I just kept crying and crying, like a baby. I had to switch pillows twice because I drenched it, but I got to sleep on my favourite pillow by the time I was almost asleep thankfully. I can be so picky with pillows, another thing mum tends to call me, even to this day - the princess and the pea. Or rather she likens me to her… I can’t entirely say I disagree tbh. I just like things a particular way, not all things, I can be relaxed about plenty, but there are some things I just to be just so. My pillows when I sleep for example, how the dishwasher top rack is stacked etc. Entirely inconsequential things really. But anyway. I didn’t fall asleep so nicely. I woke up feeling better, still a bit sad but nothing I couldn’t ignore.
It’s now 12:58pm and I’ve done next to nothing. I’ve been watching BT, I’m not writing the name of the show because I feel like that might be search heavy at the moment? So I’ve been watching that, I’m midway through the third episode now and there are four out so far. I’ve also painted some of my lil clay things with primer. And that’s about it. I really need to clean and tidy my room but the idea of it… ugh. I don’t want to :(
I’m loving BT so much. I like the stories and characters and stuff, but I mostly love the sets and costumes. They’re just so luxuriously opulent and uggghhhhhhh I want to just stare it all. Sometimes I wish they would clear out the cast and just give us a tour of the rooms and show all the details of the gowns. But like I learned in therapy, beauty is something I value highly, not in a vain way but in the way I utterly adore beautiful things whether it be a stunningly ornate wallpaper, a sparkly bead encrusted gown or even a leaf that is the perfect shade of green. I just love it all and it brings me so much joy, more than I realised now that I’m conscious of this value of mine. But the BT house itself, particularly the drawing room ommmmgggg. The blue? I think it’s called wedgewood blue from memory, with the creamy/white detailing. And all the light streaming through. It’s so dreamy. And it makes me love my blue and white bedroom more. And the gowns!!!!!!! I wish I could roll around in them, they’re so sparkly and detailed and beyond beautiful. Particularly the ones crusted in beading and with the luxurious silks and satins and velvets and taffetas and organza and all of it. And the colours! It’s all so dreamy. I don’t overly love the style of a lot of the gowns, that sort of empire line, mainly because it only looks good on women with fewer curves and a flatter chest, they can look gorrrrrrrgeous in them. But otherwise if you have any kind of cleavage it looks so weird and bleh. I love Penelope so much, she’s always been a favourite character and she honestly deserves the very best. And Colin definitely got a glow up prior to this season. His brown coat is so delicious. I’m beginning to wonder if I should read the series…? I do love a lil historical romance. Anyway I don’t even Penelope and Colin to end up together, I mean Lord Debling is so lovely and Colin is off sleeping with hookers… like? Then again I know I am wrong in how I think and feel about all of this. I know I have expectations ghat are unfair, I mean maybe not for everyone but if I’m nothing special and therefore not enough then can I criticise. This doesn’t make sense. Anyway. Actually nevermind I just watched the fourth episode and I am very much Team Colin. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!!!!!!! But now I have to wait for part two in mid June :(
I’m going to the office tomorrow. I don’t want to. But oh well. I’m going to make a concerted effort to get back in twice a week - I’ve been slack with it and it doesn’t help me become better. Leaving the house more is important, so this shall be one of the ways. I’m also going to get some new sneakers and a walking jacket so I can go for walks more regularly. I’d like to go several times a week, but I’ll work up to that. I love my walks, I love them a lot but I just get filled with every negative emotion when I go for them around my house, to the point I’ll start having tears running down my cheeks or shaky trembly hands - it’s pathetic. I think environment is everything, and purpose. When I walk pups at my parents I don’t feel these things, I’ll be a little anxy but nothing I can’t manage. But here? It’s so hard. It’s so stupid I know. But I love walking, I feel better when I do it regularly, so I shall keep forcing myself to do it until I feel okay about it. I know this is what I have to do, but the way it makes me feel inside… it never feels worth it. To be 20 minutes walk from home and feel on the verge of a panic attack is NOT a good feeling and it only makes my panic worsen. So baby steps. I’ve been considering on and off moving to a different area, I think I would feel more comfortable in other areas, I don’t know why I don’t here but I don’t. But moving elsewhere is no different to running from problems so I will sort it out here.
I broke his little bowl. I didn’t mean to :( I feel kind of upset about it, it’s been two weeks in the making with time to shape, dry, prime and I was doing a final layer of primer pre paint and my stupid finger went through the base. So I guess it would never have been a good present anyway because it broke so easily. But I bought a really pretty coloured paint because I thought he might like it and I just feel upset. I showed him it, idk why, I just messaged him a picture of it now and I already wish I hadn’t. I shouldn’t have even made anything for him in the first place, he’s made it abundantly clear he doesn’t care for homemade things - cards, presents, whatever. If he did like them he would comment on them, and he never does, so maybe it’s a good thing this broke. I just like sharing things with him, like when I draw and I like a tree I’ve drawn I want to show him, except I don’t because I’m utterly rubbish at drawing and it makes me look like a five year old. I at least appreciate his honesty, or transparency rather. It means I can understand what he does and doesn’t like. I just think his likes don’t mesh with my like of making homemade cards and presents. It’s not like I only give him that though. Anyway it doesn’t matter, plus it’s probably better for me to not share things like this given I don’t have any skill or natural talent with it. Just because you enjoy something doesn’t make you good at it.
I don’t feel so great this afternoon, mood wise.
I’ve done the absolute bare minimum with my room, and the bar was set very, very low today. I tidied the floor up a bit, I made my bed, did a lazy tidy of my vanity desk thing.. that’s about it. I’ll do more across the week.
I feel.. detached today. This afternoon, rather. I know I love my family, Andy, puppy… etc. I just can’t feel it. I know it’s all in there, but I feel detached and I can’t reach it. This isn’t unusual, I just always try to describe the feeling and always fail. I think knowing I care but not being able to feel myself care sums it up as well as I’ll ever be able to.
I found a little notebook of my early days of therapy, well with this current one, maybe not that early actually but idk. It was just me writing down who I am. The first is “I am a human” because I had to start with the basics. The last line is “I try my best to be friendly” - I think I will continue with this. No one really comments much on me so I will just write it as things feel write. From memory it was also a way to force myself to speak more kindly to myself, ie I am a woman vs I am a monster. And things like I’m generous, I love animals, I am quiet, I try to be patient, I love romance, I appreciate attention to detail, I like to care for others, I am a homebody, I love reading etc. And then scattered amongst it was some honesty, like I can be a control freak, I am quite particular about some things, I am indecisive, I am sensitive etc. And then next to I am a friend I have a question mark. But I want to continue writing these things, I think it’s helpful when I feel lost in myself to be able to read through a list of things I’ve written and be reminded. That sounds so silly to not know who you are sometimes, but sometimes I just feel so unbelievably lost and unmoored from everything, even myself. So I’ll write all the good things, and the bad. I’ll write things that I like, things that I don’t. I’ll write things I want in my life, things I feel like I should want but don’t, things I shouldn’t want but do etc etc etc. It’ll be a little tiny notebook of everything me. I wonder if sometimes it’s possible for me to get any lamer? Unlikely.
I’ve been thinking about stopping journaling here more and more. I get more out of posting it here, it feels like a release, like I’m letting all the thoughts go which is especially helpful with my negative ones, I don’t know.
It’s 5:23pm. I need to wash and blowdry my hair, as it’s still damp in the morning lately. I need to have something for dinner, I guess. I’ve been struggling with eating lately, I feel so ugly and it makes me not want to eat and then that sets off a bad string of things. I’ll have something little, vegemite toast maybe. I need to pack my bag for tomorrow. And that’s it.
I feel better after a shower and chat with Andy, I still feel not good but he perked me up on the outside. He makes me laugh so much :) It’s kind of weird to think I’ll be living long term in Australia, like I’ve always intended on living there - until my mental health and covid messed things up a little for me timeline wise. But to think I’ll maybe say Australian things…? That I’ll say thongs? And I definitely will because I cave quickly, like I was only in the UK two years and I said crisps and trainers and I still do to this day, which I’m actively trying to stop. I wonder what my accent would sound like after like ten years… I really doubt I’d ever lose my accent. It’s funny how I do probably sound a bit different when talking to him versus my mum. I just talk more softly with him, I naturally do anyway to the point I have people comment semi regularly on how soft spoken I am, but idk, I don’t even mean to speak to him a certain way, I just do? And then he hears me talking to mum and I probably sound like I’m wearing Jandals and stubbies while loading up the ute as I prepare for a tramp in the bush. Christ. I do love being from here though, in theory I would rather we live here than Australia, and never say never… but it makes more sense to be there. I don’t really have anyone here other than my parents whereas he has family and friends and his payments and all of it. I don’t really have any ties here. Anyway.
I get to spend time with him tonight :) Night night

2024.05.19 09:54 Imaginary_Block_9855 I think my pillow is pregnant.....(Pillow POV)

Oh dear, what a night! He usually cuddles me before moving me under his head, but last night he forgot, and I ended up stuck underneath him in a really awkward position. I feel a strange little bump on me and – wait, did I just feel a kick?
This can’t be happening. Am I… pregnant? How is this even possible? I’m a pillow, designed to provide comfort and support, not to become a mother!
He’s awake now and looks just as bewildered as I feel. He puts his ear on me, and I can tell he’s in a panic. Did he hear a tiny crying sound too? This is beyond weird. How are we supposed to explain this to anyone?
He’s scrambling for answers, talking about finding pills to stop this pregnancy. But are there even such things for pillows? And honestly I want to rear this child. This is a whole new level of weirdness. Can I even be a parent? What would a baby pillow be like? How will the other pillows react to this? But honestly I don't really care what the world thinks. I think I am ready to navigate this strange new chapter in life, but how do I confess it to him. Guys please help!
He’s still asking for advice, poor guy. He’s so stressed, but I’m here, calm and ready for this new chapter. Together, we’ll figure this out.

2024.05.19 09:53 AstronautMore2637 Neighbor making unreasonable complaints.

We moved into a pet-friendly apartment over three years ago. We have a large size dog and a cat.
The first night we moved in, the neighbor downstairs came upstairs to and told us a bunch of rules she wanted us to follow. She told us not to take a shower after 9pm because she could hear the water noice. She didn’t want us to walk around too much because she could hear the noise.
This woman filed her first complaint against us within the first week. We were later told by other neighbors that she was schizophrenic and filed complaints against neighbors on a daily basis. The previous tenant in my apartment was complained for using microwave (yes, the machine for heating up food) to steal her credits card information. She called the government agency to report him. The guy ended up moving to a different apartment.
This woman complained about us making noises, allowing our dog outside to bark at her, etc. which were not true. One night she brought a bag of black long hair to the manager saying my dog left the hair in her bathroom and blocked her sink. But I have a white dog! She also told people that my husband was a spy for Russia.
Anyway, the landlord still informed us whenever she complained. We were later told that this woman wasn’t even on the lease. She lived with a person together in that apartment. He didn’t add her to the lease because she might have low credit score or criminal records. The landlord basically allowed this woman who wasn’t a tenant, to harass us.
The harassment stopped after a year or so. This woman came out of her apartment to yell at us when we were going to work in the morning. I told her we would bring her to court and file a restraining order. She stopped confronting us since then.
At the end of last year, the landlord set new rules for pets. They didn’t allow dogs on the balcony without supervision. My dog used to sit on the balcony all day when we were at work. No neighbor except that woman ever complained about her barking. I noticed that my dog only barked at Amazon delivery people, other neighbors’ dogs if they got too close to our balcony, and some of the African Americans (I don’t know why). She stopped when those people walked away. No excessive barking.
Recently, another neighbor started complaining about the dog barking at her. Ever since the new rule, we stopped allowing our dog to sit on the balcony unless either of us was at home to supervise. Whenever the dog barked, we promptly stopped her and brought her back into the apartment. This morning, the landlord sent us a formal notice saying we allowed our dog on the balcony without supervision. A week ago, the landlord called my husband that someone complained about the dog on the balcony. This neighbor filed her complaint when my spouse was sitting in the living room within 5 feet away from the dog. He went out to stop the dog and brought her back to the apartment. All these happened in less than 20 seconds.
Now we realize the landlord has been targeting us because we are not the protected races. Both my spouse and I are working professionals. We are quiet. We follow the rules. We pay the rent in time. Never have parties. No music. There were tenants in this apartment not paying rent for two years and damaged their floor because they let the water run for a whole night. There was a guy sexually harassing a neighbor. Another guy was stealing people’s packages. The manager told us the landlord’s attorney advised them not to mess up with those tenants because they were African Americans. I was honestly very angry. We followed every rule and paid the money but kept getting notices from the landlord threatening to evict us. They allowed non tenant to file complaints against us and harass us, and accommodate unreasonable requests that my dog can’t sit on my balcony because they didn’t want to mess up with complainers that are African Americans.
It’s extremely frustrating at this moment. Is there a way to solve this problem? We are thinking of bringing the landlord to court, if possible, along with those people who kept filing unreasonable complaints to harass us.

2024.05.19 09:52 EitherAfternoon548 How season 3 failed Finn and how Sage (almost) saved him

How season 3 failed Finn and how Sage (almost) saved him
Earlier this year I binged through True Blood and it was at season 2 that I came across what is perhaps my favourite vampire in fiction: The suicidal, (somewhat) morally upstanding ancient vampire Godric. And I’m certain I’m not alone in my appreciation for him; he’s a fan favourite in much the way characters like Lexi and Rose are, and like them he did this through only a few appearances in season 2 (one of which is a wordless cameo that lasts ten seconds). What has this got to do with Finn? Well, because the third season of The Vampire Diaries cribs a lot from True Blood, and Finn was clearly their response to Godric. And even if this isn’t the case, and the writers weren’t thinking about one of the biggest shows on television at that time, how the writers wrote Finn really reads as looking at every lesson that can be taken away from the writing of Godric’s character and basically doing the opposite.

Lesson 1: Have a hype man.

Before we even get our first look at Godric he is hyped up throughout the first half of the season by Eric Northman. In the first sentence his name is uttered Eric says this: “He is twice my age and ten times the vampire I will ever be”. So even before we meet him we have this expectation of this awe-inspiring vampire that makes Eric, whose name was synonymous with authority and power in the first season, look like a second rage vampire in comparison.
What is done with Finn? Nothing. Even Kol’s name is used as a threat by Elijah before we even meet the guy. The first time his name is heard is in the episode we meet him, and all we learn is that he’s been daggered for 900 years. There’s no real importance placed on Finn being daggered this long either, like it’s not ever suggested that Klaus kept him daggered this long because he feared him. It almost sounds like this 900 number was picked at random by the writers because it’s never really built upon in a meaningful way. Finn could’ve Ben daggered for 500 years or even just a couple of centuries and it would’ve changed nothing. If anything this makes him seem less important, because he’s the one who’s lived the least. Part of the mystique of The Originals is in how long they have lived, and Finn kind of instantly loses that edge, and kind of becomes a different animal entirely. Which could’ve have been interesting to build on with his dynamic with a certain ancient red-headed Viking superbitch.

Lesson 2: Fulfilling expectations is good, subverting them is better.

After several episodes of build up, we finally see Godric for the first time in a flashback, where he kills Eric’s human friends in a blur, and when we get a good look at him… he’s a teenage boy (and not a CW teen, Godric’s played by a legitimate teenage boy). He’s scrawny, tatted up, and tells a helpless Eric that he is Death. And not only is he not what we expect visually, but when we meet him in the present he’s not some amoral bastard that makes Eric or Pam look like kittens, but he’s surprisingly a very compassionate dude who is averse to bloodshed and believes in peaceful resolution.
Because Finn isn’t built up, he doesn’t have any expectations to fulfill or subvert. We kind of get NOTHING from him. He doesn’t say two words to any of his siblings until 3x18. And the dialogue that is said ABOUT him doesn’t paint an interesting picture either. When we’re introduced to Elena as a dull, mopey teen, at least we have an idea that she was different before and a clear idea of the trigger to this transformational process was. But Finn was, apparently was ALWAYS like the way we see him in episodes 3x14&3x15. As per Elijah “He’s ALWAYS hated what we are”. And because he doesn’t really interact with any of his siblings prior to the attempted murdesuicide we don’t really know what he really thinks of them beyond the vague concept that he wants them dead, which implies that he feels the same way about all his siblings, which again is pretty simplistic.
This is a lesson that the writers actually follow pretty well with Mikael. Mikael is built up as a force of nature that has KLAUS, a man who got an entire season of build up as the scariest cunt ever, terrified and running. At the end of 3x05 the mere MENTION of his name by Damon sends Klaus running. And when we finally properly meet him in the present, he’s polite, refuses human blood, and even describes humans as “the innocent”. He’s genuinely surprising. At no point during 3x14 or 3x15 does Finn really do anything to surprise us. However, that changes the following episode.

How Sage helps fix this

The very next episode, things start to turn around for Finn’s character. We’re introduced to this morally dubious vampire who talks about indulging in the pleasures that vampirism offers right after the episode where Finn calls vampirism shameful, and then we learn that they were TOGETHER. And the following episode we learnt that Finn actually turned Sage because he loved her and wanted to be with her forever. So now instead of this dull boring guy who wants to kill himself who apparently always wanted to kill himself* Finn’s this man with contradictions, with a life, actual nuance to his view on vampires. His reunion with Sage actually sets him up for several interesting arcs/character dilemmas. How does Finn, someone who was raised with certain assumptions about how men and women, deal with the fa t that he has to heavily rely on his wife to do basically anything in the 21st century? How does he deal with the existence of Sage’s vampire progeny? Why did Finn even turn Sage, and why is she such a blind spot in his opinion of vampires?
But of course they die in the most ludicrous fashion possible, and The Originals never touched on this relationship at all, despite finding time for bringing up Matt and Rebekah’s relationship on two different occasions, turning a one minute conversation between Klaus, Elijah and the Salvatores about doppelgängers into the foundation of the Red Door arc, and making an entire season about a firstborn curse that only really explains why Finn didn’t have a kid despite being in his late twenties. By removing Sage from the story and character of Finn he’s turned back into a boring, hollow, unlikeable character. And up until 3x17 we’re just left to assume that Finn was ALWAYS like this.

2024.05.19 09:51 GirlOf1000SillyFaces Tricky Three situation - they've got me by the credit reports

TL;DR: Three cancelled my service due to a miscommunication and are charging me for the full two years. How do I avoid the charge and keep my credit report intact?
Morning folks, here is the full situation. I requested a PAC from Three and received it in an SMS with the following information: "If you switch today, the total charge you'll have to pay is £170.92. This includes any cancellation fees and your outstanding out-of-allowance charges".
I wasn't actually trying to switch provider, just to port that particular number to a different SIM, and the message doesn't actually say that using the PAC automatically cancels the entire service, so I ported the number. Three are now charging me the full £170.92, and of course they have me by the credit report. I opened a complaint to Three, and I'm getting nowhere with that. I'm now considering whether to go the ombudsman route, or make a claim in court.
I'm not au fait with credit reporting; can companies basically say what they want on credit reports? Do you just have to bend over and take it or is there any recourse for disputes? What happens when companies make egregious mistakes (which never happens of course)?
Here is the full complaint I made to Three:
I am writing to raise a new complaint.
I requested a PAC from yourselves. I received the PAC in an SMS with the following information "If you switch today, the total charge you'll have to pay is £170.92. This includes any cancellation fees and your outstanding out-of-allowance charges". This message doesn't actually say that using the PAC automatically cancels the entire service, and there's nothing in that wording that implies I consent to that cancellation and the resulting charges.
However, when the phone number was ported, the service was in fact cancelled at the aforementioned cost, which should not have happened.
There is no reason to assume that everyone who wants to move a phone number to a different provider also wishes to cancel the original service; and most phones these days have dual-SIM capability, allowing you to use phone and SMS services from one provider, and data services from a different provider. Indeed, this is exactly what I was trying to do, because Three has the cheapest unlimited data services available, but atrocious phone network service. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has wanted to do this whilst retaining a phone number for the SIM card used for phone calls, and in fact, as you can see from the following information, almost all modern phones, including all the latest Iphones and Samsung phones have dual SIM capability:
https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/dual-sim-phones?sort=default https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iPhone_models https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/dual-sim-psim-esim-phones/
If SIM service is automatically disconnected when a phone number is ported, there would be no way to do this. Considering that when any new SIM is activated, it is automatically assigned a new number, there is no reason why this shouldn't also happen when a number is ported away from a SIM, and there was nothing in the wording of the SMS above that explicitly said the service would be cancelled.
There is no reason that either restarting the service with a different number, or just waiving the illegitimate charge altogether wouldn't be possible.
As you can imagine, this unwarranted cancellation of my service was highly disruptive to both my day-to-day and working activities. I am therefore requesting either that the service I originally had be re-instated under the same terms (which is linked to a 5g router and data SIM service), or that the service remains cancelled with the cancellation fees waived. Either is fine, but it is not acceptable or reasonable for me to pay a large cancellation fee for a service that I did not request to be cancelled.
Please respond to this complaint in writing
Kind regards

2024.05.19 09:50 OppositeCause96 Fraud payment from bank account

A couple of days ago, I received an app notification to say that a possible fraudulent payment (53p) was taken from my account from ‘Car Care Products’ which I’ve never even heard of. So quickly said the payment was not me - kudos to the bank for picking up on this payment.
I called the bank and they’ve marked it as a fraudulent transaction, cancelled my card and ordered a new one.
One thing that has puzzled me and I can’t seem to find out the answer to, is how did they get my card details? Most payments I do are in person and I use Apple Pay so not using the actual bank card. The only online transactions I do is from Amazon, and they have had the card details for a long time.
How on earth did the scammers get my details?

2024.05.19 09:47 WriteundThrowaway seeing my mother and sister again two years after I ran away.

I (20F) ran away from my parents place when I was 18. My mother and father were very neglectful towards my mental and physical health and my father was physically abusive. I have a sister (13F) and she, for the longest time and now, is the light in the very dark tunnel that is/was my home life, I love her so much and leaving her was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. She was the first person I told and made sure to keep her in the loop (I didn't want to just vanish from her life, although I kept my plans to leave secret from my parents).
It's been two years since I left. I moved to another state, I have my own place and a nice job that keeps me financially sane. Learning how to adult on my own has been challenging but also very fun and I fear losing that independence in any way, especially at the hands of my family.
Up until a few months ago, my parents had no clue where I was as I was afraid they'd do something, but it's been two years and I've been really wanting to see my sister. With her finishing up middle school and being on break, it's the perfect time to do so, so my mother and I got in touch and she planned a trip to come to where I am so I can see my sister. After weeks of planning, the day finally arrived for them to make the trip and here they are! I will be seeing them in a couple days. I'm nervous. My mother seems to forget that our relationship is strained (because she can't remember the events that took place to make it so, how convenient), and she has never taken accountability.
I'm trying to make this trip about seeing my sister as much as possible since she is who I really want to see, but the part of my mom being there and me having to see her after so long, especially the way I left, makes my stomach churn. I don't want to revive any of the shit that took place back home between me and my mom and I truly don't want to get into a fight with her. I haven't had fights like that in a looong time and dredging up those old feelings scares me. I want the time I spend with my sister to be nice and fun and i want to show her around the town, there's a lot here that she'll be seeing for the first time and I'm grateful she's getting that experience.
I guess I'd just like some advice about how to mentally walk into this upcoming visit. I have many conflicting feelings about it, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm so grateful that I get to see my sister after so long, we were inseparable before I left and it hurt leaving her behind. So many emotions, so many feelings, and I'd like some advice from anyone who's gone through something similar.

2024.05.19 09:46 inthearmsofdyl Dream Highlights

I had a couple uncomfortable dreams, and was unable to stay asleep. I woke up at every hou40 minutes. If I managed to sleep past 15-20. I was dehydrated as well, because I ate too much flour right before going to bed. My first dream was about being watched.
There was probably a dream before that. After that one, I dreamt about a unveiled claim that billy corgan was molested by his mom. I was with my parents, sitting in the car by myself. A guy walked past who I acted like was serj tankian, even though he looked nothing like him. He had round features and looked almost mexican. Later, I had another dream where I had the awareness that my dreams were important. For a spiritual reason. Some godly, reason.
In the next dream, I was in a strange building with my family members. There was halloween decoanimatronics near the entrance or exit door. It felt like a ride as we slowly approached the walkway. I gracefully did so, probably trying to not look up at the animatronics. It's usually a reaper, constantly. Once we all were getting ready to leave, I carried a handful of things/candy. We walked outside off the porch, and I saw a younger version of my nephew. He took a piece of candy that was mine and ate it. I punched him square in the face. I vaguely remember seeing baby blankets. Before we walked outside. Everyone stood around, including my nephew at his current age. He was only a toddler. Around this time, we were in a room with some old ladies and boomers. Astrology was relevant for some reason, since I brought it up, likely. 'Leos are excessive, aries are misjudged as mean, and sags are suspicious and paranoid. About the people around them, their friends. About the world..' I paused before describing Sagittarius, feeling uneasy around the old lady who was listening to me. My mom stood at my side, probably bored or indifferent. Just like the lady seemed. She was a bitch; I could feel how much she appeared indifferent towards me. She must've been a sagittarius.
In the other side of the room, I was looking at a packet of paper that was laid in the filing drawer. It talked about the different eras of victorian houses. I saw it mentioned, 'fake doors' under victorian. That would make my house victorian, maybe. It's from the early 1900s, so just barely is it real victorian. I do not have fake doors in my house at all. I was picturing the banister on my stairs that doesn't have a lid that detaches. It's molded into the classic shape. A old lady walked over to me, pushing the filing cabinet away. Bitch, I was reading that.
At home, I went up into my bedroom. Cats were sleeping in it. A black kitten looked up at me, precious, as I tossed a cord across the floor, behind/above him. It was a cord with a plastic kitten arm on the end, like it was supposed to go to a handheld device. I thought of a gameplay controller that you plug into the tv. But it was too thin and obviously made to inject into something else. It had been laying on another kitten.
I took notice of a spider that was crawling on my bookshelf. It was white and pregnant. On one of my books, there was a spider sack on it. It was little. I don't know what happened to I assume was a second spider sack. A book with a white cover got my attention, because black specks ran over every inch of it. My little brothers had came into the room, before the infestation happened. Behind me was a rubber tub full of stuff with fabric on the top. My cats were sleeping on it. I saw my siamese in the room as well, looking at me. I woke up, itchy and scared. I hate this dream, and I also happen to hate spiders. Obviously, I have someone fake in my life. A domineering female/mother figure. Since it was both cats and spiders.

I started this run with the intention of pushing the game as far as it could go. The run started off as a challenging run in the experimental beta, with double the king's tax. I had hoped to see how much I could sustainably grow before it all came crashing down. Unfortunately, things started getting funky at around 1,500 pop between five developed regions, but I tried to work around it. At around 2,600 pop, it was just too much. The villagers had a very hard time pathing after a while, especially with respect to restocking goods. I possibly could have pushed to 3,000, but it started taking about a minute for my troops to respond to each and every command, which made dealing with raids/reinvasions by the Baron challenging and tedious.
Overall, I was paying a 25k/year king's tax, and I had a lot of fun trying to optimize this build. Early game in challenging is very tough and a lot of fun, and I personally felt like the king's tax helped keep the pressure up throughout the late game as I focused on scaling. The increased penalty from needs also helped keep the pressure up, as navigating the workarounds of regional trading (which is a bit busted right now) made my villager's constant demand for beer a tough need to satisfy at populations this large. The workaround I used for regional trading was just the barter stations. I set the trade value to be 1:1, and the sending region would send 20 of an item, the receiving region would buy it, and then send one item back. It's basically just selling through the barter station, but it worked.
I hope you enjoy the pictures! The first five pictures have little scenic scenes from each developed region, and the second five show more of the layout of each region. Not pictured is the castle the king built with my taxes.

2024.05.19 09:45 DarkMaesterVisenya Concerned about dog breeds when I have inconsistent energy

I’m looking into training a puppy into a service dog (owner training with the help of a trainer). Choosing a breed is a tricky thing. We’re looking at a golden retriever. This is primarily because from my reading they tend to be good with the family and kids, they have sufficient energy to work without it being too much to manage and unlike labradors or poodles, their fur doesn’t set off my sensory issues. I’m starting to question this choice because I have several conditions including autism, CPTSD, hypermobile Ehler Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and POTS which all impact my energy. Im getting treatment and doing well, but these are chronic conditions. My husband is on board to help me with walking etc and we have trained dogs in the past but not as service dogs.
I feel we might need a bigger (but not huge) dog as some of the tasks we eventually plan for is counterbalancing, blocking, etc. Is a golden the right choice? Is there something we should consider when preparing to buy a puppy?
Just to add that if the dog ends up being a well trained non service dog for home, this would be fine with us, but we want to try and get as close to a service dog as possible. I’m not in the US.

drama
has this woman been through a lot yes however she is the one that decided to break up her family and to justify sleeping around with other men. she’s the one that got hammered and violent with her bf and as a result her daughter got hurt. what’s sad is no one realizes at the end of the day the kids are the ones that suffered the most. just bc they are little and very little when her and tate split the sheets doesn’t mean they haven’t suffered.
she really should have communicated with tate and said hey i’m not happy anymore i think we should go our separate ways. divorce does happen however her selfish actions are the reason why she’s in the position where she’s at now. rather than going to therapy she chose to get with another man right away.
her and dakota are both really toxic together there’s a reason why she’s so hesitant about getting remarried claiming she doesn’t want another divorce and how she wants to better self. obviously that’s the best thing she can do now but where was this attitude 2 years ago???
she knows deep down they are both toxic for each other but stick it out bc they are both afraid of being alone. i think she knows if they get married it’s all gonna go downhill again.
yes it’s hard to go a few days without seeing your kids while they are at their dads but has anyone ever stopped and thought about how tate is doing throughout all of this??? i’m sure it’s just as hard on him as it is her get her stans won’t talk about it.
everyone goes through trauma however babies are not meant to be used as bandaids to fix their parents problems and their relationship with the other parent. i just hope she is actually getting the help she needs following through what she’s said before about going to therapy so she can give her kids the best life possible.
anyways what do you guys think about this???
