2024.05.19 01:53 DIARRHEA_ASS_2_MOUTH Question about how license plate renewals work, particularly about birthdays. Got a ticket from Gatineau QC saying my plates were expired

Hi,
I have a question about how license plate renewals work, as I'm hearing conflicting information and I'm confused about how birthdays factor into the matter.
In April 2022, I renewed my plates for 2 years. My birthday is in September. In October 2023, I was staying overnight at my BIL's house in Gatineau, QC, and got a ticket on my car saying my plates expired in September 2023. But since I renewed my plates in April 2022, wouldn't this mean that they're good until April 2024? And how can I check the history of my plate renewals, would I have to go to a ServiceOntario centre or is there a place I can check online that would have this information?
Thanks

2024.05.19 01:49 Carina_Nichole Help- first timer with sourdough and need the best advice on Gluten free fluffy recipe

I am very excited to start my journey and baking weekly sourdough loaf and just about to start the gluten-free feeder that uses brown rice in terms of the actual ingredients to making the sourdough. I was curious if anyone’s come up with a calculated perfection as much as possible for a more fluffy less dense gluten-free sourdough, I have high and low and feel like everybody’s either guessing or haven’t really perfected anything. I suffer from certain health issues and know that I can benefit from sourdough. Also need the gluten-free option and still want to be as excited to go through this journey without endless failed attempts. Guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you and happy baking!

2024.05.19 01:48 WaxMuseumPodcast If you had a chance to write the script for tomorrow, how exactly would things go down?

I'll give it a shot...An injured Knicks player emerges from the tunnel before the game and gets the MSG crowd amped up Willis Reed-style. Both teams go back and forth, with the stars (Tyrese and Brunson) trading blows. Siakam is feasting in the post. Officiating is a non-factor for both sides. Brunson hits a game-tying shot with less than a minute left. Tyrese dribbles to the other end of the floor and hits a game-winner as time expires. He then turns to Spike Lee and flashes the Reggie choke sign.
Actually, I'd prefer a stress-free runaway win. But that doesn't make for as good of a story...I'll take a win either way. Go Pacers.

2024.05.19 01:46 YouAware2881 33 [M4F] Toronto/Online - Looking for my gamer girl gf

I'm one of those (almost) always online types, often playing games in my free time, and I'd love to find someone to either play games with me or even just chat with while I play. I'm open to friends, or if we have a connection, a relationship. I'm a friendly, soft spoken dude, so don't be afraid to reach out! 😁
I'm really into open world crafting type games, like Valheim, Terraria, V Rising, etc. Lots of games like that on my wishlist. And they're always more fun co-op 😁 BG3 is also great, while there's a lot I still have to learn about the different classes, it would be really fun to play co-op!
Sent me a message! Chat or DM works 😊

2024.05.19 01:42 Melodic-Grape-7254 Would you have hesitation dating a former fat guy?

I ask because I’m currently trying to lose weight. I’m a 25 year old guy and I’ve been overweight pretty much my whole life, don’t really know anything different unfortunately.
My weight is one factor in my lack of relationship experience. I have none because I’ve never felt attractive enough to date so I never put myself out there enough, and the few times I did I was let down easy. Plus it’s not like I have women approaching me at my size. Online dating certainly doesn’t work either.
So I’m trying to lose weight in order to confidently date. I’m just worried about how women might react if they find out I used to be obese. Plus, that fact that I’ve never been in a relationship before (or even kissed anyone) is also something I’m worried about. Are there women out there that won’t care at all about any of that stuff? I’m afraid the ship has sailed and I have to live with my past actions that led me to being fat, even if I lose the weight.
Am I completely overthinking this?

2024.05.19 01:41 lippysoap I feel awful because of my OCD.

I just want to vent because I don’t know who else to talk to. I’ve just been feeling absolutely awful for the past couple of months. I just feel like everything is wrong with me. I stayed in an in-patient at a hospital for my contamination OCD two months ago and nothing changed. I thought it was going to help with my OCD and I’d be better but I’m not. Ever since then, I haven’t been in school or taking any courses. I’m waiting to enter a 3rd OCD program for adults when I turn 18 but I have to wait until September. I’ve been with a new social worker but I don’t feel like he understands me and every time I go to see him, I just feel worse than before the appointment. I tried reaching out to friends I haven’t talked to in a while but they’re all talking about going to university and prom. My other friend, which I felt closest to, hasn’t responded. I feel really alone and like a pathetic, useless, loser. I’m not in school, I rely on my mom to help me with basic tasks and I have nothing going for me. I’ve been feeling extra useless because when I told the social worker that my mom does my laundry, cooks/plates food for me and washes my dishes he seemed shocked that at my age, I’m not doing those things. If my family (cousins, aunts, uncles) knew that my mom was helping me do those things, they would judge me so much. They would think I’m pathetic and can’t do anything for myself. I don’t know what to do, I want to do things on my own but my OCD makes it so hard. I told the social worker that if I were to do things on my own, it would be a lot of hand washing (and probably arm washing, clothes changing, and lots of distress but I didn’t mention that) and he said he didn’t see the problem with me taking hours to do things on my own. I tried to explain that usually my mom/sister wait for me to finish everything to use the bathroom (we wait 3 hours because I’m afraid of going in too early) and he said he still didn’t see the problem. He probably thinks I’m a lazy POS who uses her mom to help with everything because she doesn’t want to do things on her own. I don’t think I’m making it up, the way he asks questions makes me feel like he doesn’t understand how someone my age could be so useless. I don’t even know how to get better, I haven’t done ERP in months or if I do, it’s always on my own. It’s really hard to do it on my own. I don’t want to be seen as lazy, I honestly just struggle with motivation and my OCD gets in the way of everything. I’d never say this to anyone but it’s like everyone forgets I have depression. I don’t see the point in trying hard for a future when I don’t even want a future. When I try to say it’s hard to challenge myself, he says that I have to or I’m going to rely on everyone but he says it in a way that makes me feel like an inconvenience. The only therapist I felt actually understood that I felt depressed was a therapist from months ago that I can’t see anymore. I’ve been feeling really guilty because of how useless I am recently. I feel like I’m just making up my OCD, depression and social anxiety as a way to get to stay home and play games and watch TV shows/movies/youtube. But it’s not like I feel good all the time at home, I only feel good right after I shower cause I feel clean but the rest of the week is empty. I go online, I feel like shit. I lay in bed, I feel like shit. I eat, I feel like shit. Everything I do makes me feel awful because I know I don’t deserve it. I have no passions or goals. I texted my cousin (who is good at everything) asking him how to combat laziness and he essentially just told me to find something that I enjoy doing and work for it. Little does he know, he told me I wasn’t good at the one thing I actually enjoyed. On our last call, he told me to help my mom around the house and I couldn’t explain to him that I don’t because of my OCD. I don’t even think he’d believe me if I told him I have OCD. I don’t think he’d even BELIEVE in OCD. Everyone thinks I’m smart and capable because I used to be, imagine what they’d think of me now. I can’t tell anyone about my OCD and the mental health workers I do tell don’t even really feel like they get it sometimes. Even if they did, I see them for an hour every two weeks/month and I feel like they don’t really care since they’re just doing their job. I know this flair says no advice or fixing but feel free to give advice since I have no clue what to do. Also, if someone had severe OCD and it felt like there was no hope but you got better, could you comment the steps you took? Even more helpful if it’s severe contamination OCD that prohibited you from touching most things. Thanks to anyone who reads this and replies.

2024.05.19 01:40 naivaall I (17f) feel robbed of the teenage experience + behind socially.

This is long to read if your on mobile (I am) any advice helps, thanks.
I, (17f) am about to be a senior in high school and I’ve kind of realized how behind I feel in life.
For background I have very strict parents, and one of them is emotionally absent (I think she’s a narcissist but we will never know) and I don’t think she likes me very much. That’s besides the point however, but she’s kind of hands off in my life not in the “I don’t care what you do” way, but in the “I don’t want you to do anything but school and home” way but she won’t help me do anything else.
My dad however he’s involved more with me and I really appreciate him, but he’s still strict in the sense that if I go somewhere he has to be the one to take me and bring me back, and I have to let him know weeks in advance. This makes it really inconvenient for me socially because we live in the middle of nowhere. Or not nowhere, but an EXTREMELY car dependent area. Like a shopping center a 10 minute drive away, but a 3 hour walk along a narrow empty road kind of nowhere. Meaning no public transport, and without him I’m physically stuck at home. (Ubers not allowed). My parents also don’t really do family bonding stuff to get new experiences. Every somewhat interesting experience I’ve had in my life thus far has come from my oldest brother and his fiance who I also consider my sister who are both twice my age. Meaning I can’t really relate to them on a personal level, but since my brother knows how my parents are he really makes and effort to be there and help me in basically everything. Like if I didn’t have him, I’d never know what an amusement park like six flags is like, I would never have been to Panera bread, I’d never see a movie, id be typing this on a leapfrog, and I’d literally never do anything. at all. That’s how mundane my parents lives are and since they’re older(60s), and come from a really rough life (they migrated here) they’re kind of content with work, home, eat, sleep, repeat. Maybe once in a blue moon go out to eat, or shop at a department store for furniture or something. My mom in particular has also kind of given up being a parent because of me and my siblings age gap, it’s like I’m a ghost to her. I do a lot of stuff myself not by choice. Like If I was told to pack only my things and go, I’d literally pack my entire room. Everything in it except for the mattress and major furniture was purchased by me, or my brother and sister (his fiance). All my shoes, 80% of my clothes, and all else have been bought by me/siblings since I was 15 i think?
I’ve never had a family trip/vacation even to like somewhere local/close. Everywhere we go has to have some sort of legitimate purpose, and when I bring this up to my parents they bring up those types of trips. “Remember when we went to Florida!” But we stayed for literally a day and a half soley for the purpose of attending my brother’s graduation when I was like 8. “Remember when we went to Canada” again for a day and a half just for some church program thing (super Christian). Again when I was like 12. I’m too young to do anything for fun in their eyes or take public transport, but I’m allowed to have my job. Even then I can’t work more than once a week because they’ll complain about having to take me and pick me up as I’m reliant on them for transportation. I’ve been pushing them to get my lisence, but they keep stalling for god knows why. And to knock this out, no they are not financially struggling. On top of that I have no family aside from them/my siblings in the US, so I literally have nobody. My brother, I love him and his help but I feel like I’m holding him back from truly being able to let them go and be free of constant contact with them for other reasons, because he still wants to be in my life and help me.
Earlier I said one of my parents is emotionally absent, it’s no secret but it’s my mom, pretty sure she hates me and I don’t know why, but I’m over it. Suddenly after I turned 11 she just has this constant need to argue with me, put me down, or literally do anything just to assume the worst of me or not be happy for me. The issue with that is, she also doesn’t DO anything. My dad does literally EVERYTHING. He cooks, he takes me to school, he picks me up, he takes me to the doctor, he goes to any ceremonies, everything. It’s so bad that some of my friends deliberately avoided bringing up mothers because they thought my dad was a single dad (my mom is hands off my life so I never bring her up and she’s never in a position to meet them). So I feel 10x guilty anytime I want to even go to the grocery store because I know it’s going to fall on my dad alone and I don’t want to make it harder for him when he does a lot already. I can’t go out with any friends, but when I want to do something alone I can’t do it because it’s suspicious that I want to do it alone. Relationships have always been out of the question, the romance isn’t worth the shit show aftermath at home. And as I get older when I see people my age driving, going out, getting piercings, dye jobs, tattoos, doing weekday shifts, relationships, it kind of hits me that I’m literally so behind and have accomplished nothing outside of academics. It’s led to “what’s the point” thoughts which I have to work through alone because just my luck in the eyes of my parents depression and sewerslidal thoughts are diseases. It’s so bad that when my mom (shocker) asked me if I was depressed a few days ago I instantly said no because I knew it was not genuine. It was 100% bait that would’ve turned into a long lecture as to why I’m wrong even though I hate to self diagnose but I honestly think I have been for a while. The constant isolation (not by choice) has gotten terrible to the point where I’m starting to hear shit and see shit when I’m alone and it’s kind of freaking me out. My one and only vice is impulsive spending online because I literally have nothing to look forward to having money for.
My brothers done so much for me. He bought me my first phone, everything. I keep telling myself to just wait until I’m 18 to live life, but I then think I’d still have missed a decent or somewhat normal high school experience. All that alone time gives me the opportunity to learn a lot of random stuff, and I always end up viewed as the “mature” or “smart-experienced-therapist-like” figure (key word figure because I’m NONE of that) in my friendships and it sucks because due to past experiences of opening up to my mom, I have trouble expressing how I feel to others. No im not mature and handling my own, I just have no idea how to talk about my issues/feelings to others in person. Like no I’m not some know it all fortune teller. Sometimes I literally just want to have someone to feel stupid with you know? Like I want to be able to leave my brain at home with someone and not feel like I’m breaking character or something. I hate being told I carry myself maturely, or I’m an old soul or down to earth by people older than me etc. I don’t want to be. I hate being looked at weird or with wide eyes when I laugh, smile, or joke because for some reason people think it’s not “like me”. I don’t even know what to do, or where to start. Everyone thinks I just have shit sorted and just make moves in silence or something when I’m literally in crisis. I feel weird to even cry, ME a 17 year old girl feels like it’s a crime to cry infront of anyone. None of my friends have ever seen me cry. And I almost did once infront of two of them because of a really bad moment of clarity that my life sucks. They just stared at me like I was some specimen because they didn’t know I was capable of crying I guess? If anyone even reads this I don’t even know what to do. I don’t even know if I make any sense. And I read this over and edited it in less detail because I think my feelings are corny and it sounds stupid and ik that’s my problem even on Reddit UGH.
And disclaimer, no I am not a danger to myself or anyone else, I’m not itching to kick the bucket it’s just a big “ugh” moment.

2024.05.19 01:34 Initial-Hurry8026 Thoughts on what an extraordinary achievement Helldivers 2 is, from a veteran live service game developer

Hail, fellow Helldivers!
I’m a game dev with over 20 years experience, half of that on live service games or MMOs, all of it on core combat for action games, on game teams ranging from 10 people to over 600.
I play a ton of hard co-op action games, and I was a huge fan of Helldivers 1. I’m honestly in awe of how good Helldivers 2 is, even after the hundreds of hours I’ve put into it, and how they’ve sustained the pace of updates for so long after launch.
Yes, this is a throwaway Reddit account, I wanted to share some of my thoughts without inviting death threats.
Development
This game must have been in development since shortly after Arrowhead’s last released game, Helldivers 1 (plus whatever DLC and maintenance), so, 8 years give or take (I sent Pilestedt a congratulatory email, but presumably he’s drowning in them, haha).
I ran into the devs at GDC 2019, shared a few drinks and we talked shop about our similar games. They were super cagey but very excited about what they were working on, even moreso when they found out I was a huge fan of HD1. They were clearly already deep in development of HD2 at that point.
This has been discussed elsewhere, but it adds to how impressive this game is: this is the same engine (Autodesk Stingray) as Helldivers 1, a top-down game with 2D gameplay and much lower visual fidelity. Stingray is no longer supported by Autodesk as of sometime after 2018, so most of the features HD2 required would have been built in-house by Arrowhead. To my knowledge there’s only one other studio actively using the engine, and that’s Fat Shark, the developers of (most recently) Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
The AH team has grown massively in size over the past 8 years. I don’t have the exact numbers, but it’s a 5x to 10x increase in size. Scaling up that fast and not ruining your company culture is super hard, and you can see plenty of other studios that have tried to grow so they can build bigger games and have fallen apart doing it.
Helldivers 2 easily has a AAA level of polish. I’ve gone back to HD1 recently, which at the time looked and played super well, and the improvements are night and day. HD2’s production values compare favorably to any random AAA game released in the last few years
Weapons
Building first or third person weapons to this level of quality is extremely expensive. A unique gun for a AAA first person shooter might take 4-6 weeks of artist time and the same (or more) of designer time to set up and tune the gameplay. For any completely new type of weapon, factor in around 6 months of animator time, and a few weeks for a variant that has a different reload animation or similar. E.g. all rifle-sized shotguns might use the same base shotgun animation set, but the continuous reload shotguns would have a different reload animation than the Breaker family. Then you need VFX and audio too.
Vehicles are even moreso, taking months for each, more if they can seat multiple players or have points that contact the ground (e.g. wheels).
Environments
Building environments that look this good is expensive even if you know what you want, having built a prototype version, you then have to iterate on it while you refine the gameplay and then build the final art. Building environments that look this good and are procedurally generated in as freeform a way as in HD2 is mind-boggling. Let alone doing that in a way that runs fast enough. Sure once it’s all up and running you have a ton of variety for relatively cheap, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen the proc gen create a serious gameplay problem, and that indicates very clever design and thorough testing.
AI
AI that works as well as this is expensive to build, and typically computationally expensive at runtime too. In games like Call of Duty or whatever, you have a static environment, with maybe 10-20 active AI at a time, prebuilt navmesh (which is a hand-drawn or generated map that allows AI to move around the environment without having to calculate valid geometry constantly at runtime), and level or encounter designers have hand scripted a lot of what looks like emergent AI behavior. HD2 can’t do any of that; there can be hundreds of enemies active at once, the environments are procedurally generated, AND terrain can be deformed, buildings can be destroyed etc. The AI can’t be scripted to the same degree as on a static map, probably the devs have hints that are procedurally added to the world and not much more. It helps that all of the enemies we’ve seen so far are the “implacably advancing” kind, typically they don’t have any complex behaviors, and instead the design of the character themselves and their attacks carries the gameplay. Smart design. The Illuminate in HD1 were much sneakier, it’ll be interesting to see how that faction translates to a full 3D game with a lot more enemies active at once.
UI
This game has a lot of quality of life features that it’s easy to take for granted, but are hard to build, and hard to retrofit to an existing game, for example:
· A zoomable, pingable minimap (IMO this is a best-in-class minimap implementation)
· A ping system
· Battlepass implementation allowing for not expiring old battle passes.
And all of this is UI-heavy, where UI is one of the most expensive things to make in AAA games. Every project I’ve shipped, UI has been a bottleneck. It doesn’t help that every company basically builds a UI system from scratch, since engines rarely have something shippable built in, and Scaleform (the most prominent UI middleware) went away. And then it takes a ton of iteration to get to a point where a feature is powerful and intuitive to players.
Gamefeel
If you play much of the most highly-regarded AAA shooters, you might not like the feel of some of the weapons in Helldivers 2 by comparison. They often feel slow to use, hard to aim, and punishing of misses, bad timing or bad positioning. Some of this is a polish thing and probably isn’t intended, e.g. scopes that look janky in first person, misaligned reticles and similar stuff. Most of it though looks deliberate, and supports the gameplay they’re laser-focused on building. The weapons are largely useful in very specific situations, and are not power fantasy moments for the player. There are serious tradeoffs, including “if I’m caught by a melee enemy with a Recoilless Rifle out, I’m in trouble”, the most powerful support weapons preventing you from bringing a shield, the snappiest weapons typically only being useful against weak enemies, etc. Most mass-market shooters sacrifice this extreme level of tradeoff in service of making the game feel better to play, and can lack gameplay variety as a result.
Given all of the above, most of the content that Arrowhead has released post ship must have been built alongside the rest of the game. It’s unlikely that they’re able to turn around 3 new weapons, new giant enemies, new mission types etc every month for several months in a row building them from scratch since ship. And yet, the game at launch still felt complete. This is a hard balance to strike. I wonder how much near-shippable content they have in their war-chest, and whether they’ll be able to generate more quickly enough to satisfy the appetite of the community on an ongoing basis.
Balance
Typically on a live game, the same designers build gameplay, ship it, and then balance it in patches post-ship. Sometimes a studio will have a separate “live team”, either dedicated, or rotating members of the dev team through it, but this isn’t common and it doesn’t look like Arrowhead splits the team up like this.
In any case, players always ask why developers ever nerf anything, and it’s for three reasons:
· Typically only a small number of things (weapons, abilities, heroes) are dominant, and a very large number are OK or weak in the current meta – buffing everything else would be extremely expensive, and since it’s the same people doing this work and building new content, it’d reduce the amount of new content the team could make. So it’s much more efficient to tamp down the overpowered things as a priority, and buff some other options at the same time.
· “No nerf, only buff” results in player power creep over time, which makes the game easier, and eventually will require a correction either in the form of a large scale nerf pass or buffs to enemies – both of these are bad: players hate widespread nerfs, and buffing enemies can put the game in a degenerate state where lethality is skewed, or only the best players can compete because they have all the best gear, or you end up in an arms race between player design and enemy design as both teams try to react to player feedback or overall game difficulty.
· Having a small number of overpowered things is much more destructive to a varied meta than a small number of weak things. Say you have 100 abilities and 3 of them are overpowered. Well, now everyone’s only using 3% of the possible content. Say you have 100 abilities and 3 of them are too weak.The other 97% is viable. Overly simplistic, clearly there’s a gradient, but you get the idea.
BTW the pace at which Arrowhead has updated balance is extremely fast for a large PvE game. Some small PvP-only games can react this quickly to a developing meta, but on large-scale games it takes weeks or months of testing and platform certification to ship balance updates on consoles. And “hotfixes”, i.e. very quick responses to critical issues, have a high level of scrutiny on them, i.e. lots of justifiable red tape, and often require crunch.
Community Interaction
It’s extremely rare for developers from large studios at any level to talk directly to the community, mostly because the gaming community burned those bridges long ago, by doxing devs they don’t agree with, sending them death threats, or just generally abusing them publicly and anonymously. No way in hell would I be public facing, and no one at any studio should be required to unless it’s explicitly part of their job. And even then, I feel for community managers. Direct communication from devs is a precious thing, and not one that should be taken for granted or used as an avenue for abuse.
*Salutes* to Arrowhead
Huge, huge kudos to Arrowhead. This game is an absolute triumph. To go from a small team making top-down games, to a medium-sized AAA team that shipped a game that catapulted right to the top of the most-played charts and game of the year lists and has stayed there is a massive accomplishment. I hope you’re all seeing a big payday from this success!

2024.05.19 01:31 2buckbill Dad had a good day and I really kind of needed it

My dad, after a consistent and very slow decline, finally had a pretty good memory day today. He has what I guess is a "run of the mill" vascular dementia. I'm far from an expert.
A bit more than 2 years ago his wife passed away in early 2022. I didn't know, at that time, that he had any unusual health problems. They didn't tell me about any mobility issues, they didn't tell me about some of the conditions he had developed, and they didn't tell me about the dementia diagnosis. When she passed my dad just stopped taking care of himself, and he spiraled pretty fast. He spent a couple of weeks in the hospital while we got him sorted out and I was finally clued in to how far he had declined in the previous couple of years. I was able to get POA for his health and finances to help make decisions. A couple of weeks later the doctors said that he was OK to go home on his own with help from some occupational therapy, and a nurse visiting a couple of times a week. This was in mid to late April of 2022. By early June he was getting some pretty serious notices from utilities, credit card companies, and others wanting to be paid. Dad thought everything was paid automatically (said his late wife had set that up), and had been ignoring every bill that came his way. This was when I really found out how bad things had become. There hadn't been a bill paid in months, his wife had been using HIS credit cards for HER purchases, and as I recall it there was about $11,500 in credit card debts that she had left for him. On HER OWN cards she had about $19,000 in credit card debt (I never paid that, my dad was not a guarantor on her accounts). My dad's credit score tanked, and was flirting with dipping into the 500s. So I stepped in and took over. I'd never had to take over someone else's finances before, and thus began a whole lot of change in both our lives. There were mysterious bills that were getting paid from his accounts, his cell phone bill was in the hundreds, there were debts she had created; some he knew about and some he didn't. I had to do some very basic financial forensics to figure out what was happening. The list of her dumb-fuckeries is sadly extensive, she was just a financial-fucking-idiot. He had a few thousand dollars remaining in his accounts, but he had a consistent pension and Social Security coming in. I started prioritizing the debt into utilities versus credit, and started getting him set right. It took about a year or year and a half, but my dad became debt free, and developed a substantial savings. His credit score is in the mid / high 700s again.
He is good enough to live mostly on his own still. I call most nights to check up on him, run through the list. "Did you eat enough? Did you take your medicine? Did you get any exercise? Did you visit with any friends? How you showered recently?" And on Saturdays I go over to his house to refill his medications, take him shopping, take a rudimentary inventory of his physical and mental condition, and I take him to lunch, usually with my wife and daughter. I take his blood pressure, and report it to his GP via an online portal. I do a bit of picking up in his house, maybe clean some things. Remind him about upcoming appointments. This takes up most of my Saturdays. I also get him to most of his medical and dental appointments, work with his doctors and nurses, and manage most of his life. But I also have a house, a demanding career (where I have a full team to manage and lead), a wife, a four year old, and pets. Everyone and everything deserves attention, of course, but these days I feel like I am constantly trying to pour from an empty container. I'm always exhausted, and I wake up nearly every night afraid that I missed something. Did dad take his pills? Did we miss any bills? Is my daughter OK? Did I hear her coughing? Did I miss something at work? Did I miss a page out? I have to get up and check my work phone. I'm just exhausted, and burnt out on all of it.
But today... He remembered my daughter's name, my brother's name, my wife's name, and even the names of cousins. He remembered his friends' names, he remembered his bills, and where he put them. He was even a bit spry when I took him shopping. He cracked jokes. He was in the best mood that I've seen him in in.... hell, maybe years? He understood everything that I was telling him, and HE TOLD ME about an upcoming appointment that he remembered. And man... I needed it. I needed an easier day. It is like a little bit of the weight lifted. I know that it is just one day, and he might be having these good days on the days when I am not over there to manage his home, but I usually see more difficult days. It isn't a whole lot, but tonight it feels like the vessel I am trying to pour from finally has a bit of something in it, it doesn't feel so empty.

2024.05.19 01:28 Artistic-Energy2566 So fed up with South Asian brands taking money and not delivering: why is it like this??

I've dealt with Pakistani designers mainly through their websites and one UK-based Indian store for wedding guest clothing. Not one was unproblematic. Diya Online, Emaan Adeel, Alizeh, AJR Couture & Mushq.
Unfinished details with fraying edges.Terrible stitching, bad measurements, lack of alignment. Dispatching weeks after the promised date or for one of them no sign of delivery at all several weeks after ordering. Loose embroidery. Lack of communication or vague responses.
I wonder if they do the same thing to local customers or only if you're ordering from abroad (and paying so much in shipping)?
I don't understand WHY they do this when they lose out on the opportunity of getting returning customers and building a strong reputation? Not to mention losing out on new customers because now I'm cautioning my friends and family (as anyone would) against buying from these brands...
Have I just been unlucky or is this quite common? I'm just quite bewildered why they find it acceptable to do this. And if there's cultural/business factors at play that I'm mot understanding?

2024.05.19 01:17 Junk-Sequence--- 42F looking for serious and/or asinine chats and/or anti-procrastination buds

Hey fellow people and bots.
If we've chatted before feel free to hit me up again. I can't tell who is online from Reddit chat. Maybe because I use a laptop and not a phone so I can type like a real human being /s
I like being goofy and riffing on pretty much whatever, but I'm also a pretty good listener and will listen to woes and venting.
I procrastinate like I took a sacred, holy vow to do so. Like most with this predicament, I do not like this state of affairs. If you need a friend to give you validation for dong tiny task 1-3 of large task 509, and you can reciprocate, we could become quasi-productive in no time.
Anyway hit me up if you want to chat. 18+ and all that of course.

Critics warn the French government's first-of-its-kind move within the EU to suspend TikTok in New Caledonia amid widespread protests sets a dangerous precedent
  • The French government took a significant move by blocking access to TikTok in New Caledonia, an EU overseas territory, as a response to violent protests, marking a first within the European Union.
  • This action was triggered by widespread protests against a French draft law which opponents argue could dilute the representation of indigenous people in New Caledonia by allowing non-indigenous residents to vote in local elections after ten years.
  • The blocking of TikTok, cited for preventing the organization of protests, is part of broader state-of-emergency measures, including the deployment of troops and a curfew.
  • Such internet shutdowns raise concerns among digital rights groups and activists about the potential for abuse and the impact on freedom of expression online.
  • Despite the French government's drastic measure, there was no record of TikTok's request from New Caledonia or the French government to remove content prior to the shutdown.
A French intelligence official, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive national security issues, mentioned that foreign interference hadn't played a decisive factor in the decision to suspend TikTok in New Caledonia. This counters the government's accusations against Azerbaijan for meddling in the protests, challenging the narrative that the suspension was a necessary response to external manipulation.
"It is regrettable that an administrative decision to suspend TikTok's service has been taken on the territory of New Caledonia, without any questions or requests to remove content from the New Caledonian authorities or the French government," a TikTok spokesperson said.
Access Now reported this week that a record number of internet shutdowns had occurred last year: 283 in 39 countries, the highest number since the organization began monitoring such measures in 2016. This context helps to situate France's decision within a global trend that's been on the rise, despite it being unprecedented within the European Union.

[PIC] How much would you charge?
Hi! I am fairly new to cross stitch and I have been worked on a handful of smaller projects but I am ready to take on a large one!
I found this pattern online, the pattern is 798,000 stitches and the finish project would roughly be 5ftx6ft, and it is 234 colors. My question is, how much would you charge for this? If you are a Pokémon fan, how much would you be willing to pay?
**This is a free pattern online, I just google Pokémon cross stitch and it was the first or second link.

2024.05.19 01:09 Ogr384 Made a Crop cost/revenue calculator for FT2

I got tired of going to a calculator to figure out what it would cost me to plant and how much I would make so I made a calculator in Google Sheets. It's pretty straight forward, enter your field dimensions and your crop level and it spits out the numbers. It's not perfect but saves me time. Feel free to make a copy.

2024.05.19 01:09 AnalysisElectrical30 I love our Faith dearly, but

Im becoming increasingly frustrated with some of the practical details.
Homophobia, burial, no confession, no priesthood: all those become side points to 1 hopeless topic: scheduling.
My goal is to attend (at least in part) every feast and HD, and so I originally saved 2 online calendars
https://www.bahai.us/events-calendaholy-days/
https://www.bahai.org/action/devotional-life/calendapdf-calendar
for this purpose. They are misleading. A third paper calendar is confusing: it highlights 2 days per feast or HD, and so I do not know which day I should keep free.
Earlier this year, I was supposed to deliver a professional presentation on a certain Wednesday evening. Believing it would conflict with feast, I delayed my presentation. As it happened, feast was held the day before the calendar date given. Therefore, it was an unnecessary postponement.
I declared on same day that Bab did, which Ruhi 4 (my authority) says is May 23. The night of my act was indeed "May 23", in the early evening. Last year, I believe the program began at 9 pm, somewhat later. This year, our observance will be a day earlier however, in the early evening. (I am tempted to bicycle around our locked center the next day before sunset, to honor the original date) I do not understand why this variation is necessary for the same location and same event.
I know that sunset begins a new day in our Faith and Christianity (which makes sense if someone works grave); we also have our civil time changes, and the seasonal changes throughout the year, all of which affect the schedule.
This calendar
https://www.bahai.us/community/
is apparently correct for actual ceremonies. Is it possible it can be extended for 6 months or a full year?
Is there a formula for predicting dates and times, so I am not surprised by changes in the first 2 mentioned calendars?
