Meet Bonkey
My first betta fish.... got a 5 gallon tank but later realized it's probably only 3 lol (marineland portrait advertised as 5). Petco dude told me 2 pellet per day ( one morning and one evening)and I thought it was kinda low so one day i sat down and start feeding him just to see his limit and he ate 3 easily but fourth he's wasn't interested( I feed him twice a day 6 pellets total) and 3 tried different foods but homie only like pellet Watched shit ton of yt videos how I can play with him or he doesn't get bored. I tried mirror thing he just ran away and hide😂. I was surprised how smart he is like whenever I open the drawer to take out his food, he instantly sprints to top and wait at side of the tank (where I usually put food ) it's almost like he recognize the sound of drawer now so it's like drawer sound = food time. Had him for couple of months and only things that bothers me is the tank size. I wish I had a bigger tank and I will, probably 15 gallons later in the year. It's really fascinating learing about his habits and things he does. Note: I know he's flaring in the picture it's cuse went through mirror therapy 😂 and I wanted to show you guys his majestic frock.

2024.06.02 09:22 sarcasticstalli best credit cards for a 22 y/o trying to improve credit + earn rewards

background: i’m a 22 y/o living in the US with a pretty low-paying job (less than $40k). current credit score is 750 (transunion: 751, equifax: 753). i have 2 credit cards, an authorized user on my moms cc, and a personal finance (which will be paid off within the next month or so). credit limit is $20,800 and i have 3 hard inquiries in the last 2 yrs. i always make sure my credit utilization stays below 10% and always pay my cards off every month.
im trying to improve my credit score (i know it’s good but id like to continue to improve and reach 800 by the time im 25, maybe 850 by 27-30).
i’d really like a visa credit card, since i shop at costco pretty often (and they don’t accept other cards unless they are debit) and my current cards are a cap one savor (MC) and discover. i really like the cash back i earn on both of these cards as a bonus. i am thinking abt getting a card to earn more regular CB on gas and id like a travel card so i can start earning rewards for some travel plans id like to make in upcoming years.
current cards im considering: 1. AMEX Blue Cash Every Day OR Preferred 2. Chase Freedom Unlimited 3. Chase Sapphire Unlimited 4. Cap One Venture One
i really don’t know when to apply for a new credit card considering i have 3 inquiries on my account already (1 from nov 2022, one from june 2023, and one from april 2024). i was thinking to apply in november when the first inquiry falls off my account and i don’t want to have too many. i don’t know if im being overly cautious about that though.
also between the four cards i listed, im not sure which one to get first. the AMEX would be nice for gas CB but wouldn’t be able to use at costco where i get my gas pretty frequently (but the cash back on it may make up for the difference of what i save when i get gas at costco). the chase saph and capital one cards would be great for travel while the freedom unlimited would be good for just every day.
if anyone has advice on how i should proceed id appreciate it !!

2024.06.02 09:21 Greenternet First gout flare, even after changing my lifestyle to a healthy one. Please advice.

Hi all, I never thought gout would have flared up for me but unfortunately it did. So some background for context, I'm a male 34, South East Asian, and all my life I have never got a gout attack. I was a heavy drinker for the last 10-15 year during my college and most of my working life. So I took the plunge exactly a year ago and gave up drinking. I mean I went cold turkey. After this I had done a blood test ,a year ago to see my blood levels evrything was fine except for my total billirubin at 1.73 and my uric acid just above at 7.4. which was not a big concern as I thought it would go down due to my alcoholic lifestyle change.
Fast-forward to a few days back, I had a gout flare on the joints of my feet when I got up in the morning and realised something was wrong. I got my blood test done and my total billirubin shot up to 2.4 and the cut of is actually 1.3 and my uric acid was at 7.6. so I visited my doctor and he told me to get an abdominal scan, which I did and voila there was the fatty grade 1 liver problem. So my doctor went through the blood report and the report showed that all my enzymes were in check and further there was a standard deviations with the total billirubin. So he has now prescribed me 2 meds, one is allopurinol 100mg twice a day for a week to reduce my uric acid below 7 and Silybon Forte for my liver problem to reduce my billirubin levels , twice a day for 10 days. So I started the meds last night and to my surprise my leg flare pain has gone down to prob a 2 after the first episode and weirdly my knuckles started to hurt on both hands in the morning with a pain level of probably 5-6.
I'm not sure now what to think because as one joint pain stopped the another started which feels weird, but I will complete the course that my doctor has given me.
I have heard that allopurinol does star flares for some people.
Now the question is , what do I do about this and it's really not a nice thing to get up in pain. I have now cut out meat , between I ate a lot of red meat during the last year, and started to have lots of veggies lentils and Indian food non spicy with all their spices for inflammation and taste. Further I have been doing yoga every other day. Tbh I'm a little scared to continue with the meds if more flares turn up but what other options do I have then. I have to finish the course to see if it works right.
I wanted to know what has helped this community out there in mitigating this pain and what lifestyle changes have helped in stopping the uric acid build up and regulating the flares. Any help and support would be greatly appreciated.

2024.06.02 09:21 Beautiful_Throat_536 How to be consistent in breaking the unhealthy obsessive thoughts and the constant stalking habit? I'm hyperaware of all of this, yet I still can't stop cold turkey.

I can't stop thinking about my boyfriend's ex. I know this isn't right, and I realize that my perceptions are just that—perceptions. I'll explain how I'm fully aware that I'm wrong. I'm hyperaware of the situation—I know the problems and I know the possible solutions. I simply don't know how to stop comparing myself to her, stop stalking her on social media, and truly be consistent.
She's just beyond perfect and flawless in my eyes. Everything about her is so lovely and I adore her so much. From her looks, which I find strikingly gorgeous, to her intelligence (both academically and socially), her wit, humor, and sociopolitical awareness. She's incredibly creative and talented—she can sing, play instruments, draw, paint, design. She seems to come from a happy, loving family. She's so loved by everyone. To me, everything about her is just perfect.
However, I'm also well aware that this isn't right. I'm hyperaware of the situation, and I know this isn't right because:
  1. No one deserves to be idealized and perceived as perfect. She's a human with flaws and struggles too. Idealizing her means I'm objectifying her, and that's not right. I even know that she's been struggling mentally, yet I still think she's perfect. I keep trying to humanize her, but it's so hard because in my head, she has it all.
  2. Human beings aren't comparable. There's no way one could ever measure and make a chart comparing two individuals because everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
  3. I don't totally see myself as worthless. I know my value. In other people's eyes, I can be pretty, smart, and talented too. However, when it comes to comparing myself to her, I feel like I'm trash because in my head, she's like a godlike creature.
  4. No one ever compares us. I'm the only one who does it. I don't crave reassurance or validation from my boyfriend or anyone because at this point, it doesn't even have anything to do with my relationship. She poses no threat to my relationship (for context, my relationship has been going great). The only problem is my excessive stalking of her social media because I want to be as perfect as I think she is. And yes, I know this has to do with my low self-esteem.
  5. I've tried to shift the focus onto myself, but I ended up feeling like I'm doing it to prove that I'm better than her. I feel like a fraud and a copycat for doing things that she also does, even though we have similar hobbies and even similar tastes in the very first place.
I'm also aware of the possible solutions. I've been to therapy, I've talked to my friends about it, and they've given me really good advice. Yet, I can't stop comparing myself to her. It's like I can't get myself to commit to do what's best for me. It's like I can't stop tormenting myself.
I can't stop having her inside my brain. I think about her a little too much, and I put her on a pedestal a little too high.
Question: All I'm asking is, how do I put a stop to this? I've tried to stop cold turkey, but it only lasted three days or so. I've muted and blocked her, yet I always find a way to check on her again. I can't stop thinking that she's perfect, even though I know she isn't. How do I completely stop obsessing over her and be absolutely consistent in breaking this habit? I’m struggling to make lasting changes.
TL;DR: I can't stop obsessing over my boyfriend's ex. I idealize her as perfect, compare myself to her, and stalk her social media, even though I know it's unhealthy and all of my perceptions are all wrong. I've tried to stop but I can't be consistent doing it. Seeking advice on how to move past this habit.

🔗AGM Taipan TM10-256 Thermal Imaging Monocular: Versatile Hunting Companion with High-Sensitivity Detector


https://preview.redd.it/2r9we72a044d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c78c5ba864ba38ee9812562d7e508bc270b773fb
I recently had the chance to use the AGM Taipan TM10-256 Thermal Imaging Monocular, and I must say, it was quite the experience. The first thing that caught my eye was the high-sensitivity built-in thermal detector. It allowed me to see even in complete darkness, which proved invaluable during my nighttime hike.
One of the standout features of this monocular was the hot spot mark. It detected and marked the hottest spot of the highest temperature, which came in handy when I needed to locate a warm area while camping. The mode switch, supporting both paddle switch and distance measurement, also made the device versatile and easy to use in various scenarios.
However, there were a few areas where it could use some improvement. For instance, the instructions were not user-friendly, making it a bit challenging to figure out how to use the device initially. Additionally, the lens protection only came with one end, which would have been more convenient with protection on both sides. Finally, the thermals had difficulty penetrating glass, which I noticed when using it in a room with large windows.
Despite these minor issues, I found the monocular to be an excellent investment for those who need an efficient, reliable thermal device. Its clear view and ability to detect hot spots make it a valuable tool for hunting, hiking, and other outdoor activities.

🔗Advanced Clip-On Thermal Scope with High Resolution and IP67 Protection


https://preview.redd.it/kllc59ea044d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ead7f943439be3d31e73c1c76ccb5ef138bb24e7
As a reviewer, I've been using the AGM Rattler TC35-640 in my daily life. This compact thermal imaging clip-on system transforms my day optics into a thermal imaging device, without any need for special tools or equipment. The high sensitivity 12μm thermal detector and 640x512 resolution have provided clear images even in harsh conditions such as darkness, fog, smoke, dust, rain, snow, wood, camouflage, and more. The product's applicability extends to patrolling and hunting scenarios.
The Rattler TC35-640 is easily attached to rifle scopes with magnification up to 8x for long-range use. Its onboard Wi-Fi module allows for live video streaming and recording of videos and images via an app. Overall, the AGM Rattler TC35-640 has been a reliable and user-friendly addition to my toolkit. I can confidently say that it offers excellent value for the price. However, some users might find the instructions a bit complicated.

🔗Military-Grade Night Vision Monocular with Manual Gain Control

I particularly enjoyed the manual gain control and automatic bright light shut-off feature, which not only helped protect the unit's high-quality photocathode tube, but also made it easy to switch between different nighttime environments.
Adding to its versatility, the PVS-14 comes with a built-in Infrared (IR) illuminator. Overall, I found the AGM PVS-14 Night Vision Monocular to be a top-notch device, and it's hard to think of how it could be improved.

I recently had the chance to test out the AGM PVS-14 Night Vision Monocular, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. This compact, rugged device has been battle-tested and its durability truly shines.
The waterproof design is perfect for any outdoor environment, and I love that it's head or helmet-mountable for hands-free usage. The manual gain control is a fantastic feature, allowing me to easily adjust the monocular to my needs.
However, one downside I noticed was the weight, which felt a bit heavier than expected. Overall, the AGM PVS-14 Night Vision Monocular is a top-quality device that's perfect for those who need a reliable, powerful night vision tool.

However, the battery life could have been better for extended use, and users might need to be more mindful of the operating temperature range. Overall, the Wolf-14 provides a cost-effective and reliable night vision monocular experience for a wide range of users.

🔗Ultra-Lightweight Military Monocular with Infrared Illuminator


https://preview.redd.it/wngcy26c044d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=316efe053d16bf832a427d28efb76f725ed7375b

The included head harness allows for hands-free use, making it even more convenient for those on the go.
One of the most impressive features of this monocular is its manual gain control, which allows for optimal image brightness in any environment. Additionally, the built-in Infrared illuminator ensures clear visibility in the darkest of scenarios. The monocular's automatic bright light shut-off feature protects the high-quality photocathode tube, ensuring longevity and a sharper image.
While the AGM PVS-14 Night Vision Monocular is an excellent choice for military operations, it can also be used for various recreational activities such as hunting, night fishing, and exploring the great outdoors. Overall, this monocular delivers on its promise of high-quality performance and versatility, making it a top choice for those in need of a reliable night vision device.

🔗Military-Grade Night Vision Monocular for Enhanced Performance

I recently had the chance to test out the AGM Wolf-14 NL1 night vision monocular, and I must say, it's a game-changer for nighttime adventures. The compact, rugged design made it a breeze to take on my hunting trips, and the head mountable feature provided hands-free usage that was incredibly convenient.
One of the standout features of the Wolf-14 was the bright light cut-off, which allowed me to use it in a variety of environments without worrying about blowing out my night vision. The ergonomic design and simple controls made it easy to operate, even when I was wearing gloves in the cold.
The monocular utilized a single CR123A Lithium or AA battery, which was easy to find and replace. I loved that it came with a built-in Infrared illuminator, which truly made a difference when I was scanning my surroundings in the dark.
However, there were a few minor hiccups that I encountered. The battery life wasn't as impressive as I would have hoped, and I struggled to get the diopter adjustment just right for my vision. But overall, the Wolf-14 NL1 was a reliable and versatile companion for my nighttime excursions.

🔗Advanced Night Vision Goggles with Gen 3 Image Intensifier Tube


https://preview.redd.it/d5yee70d044d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba614a45fa1ea5a818e36a9ee0982bebe019402a
Having used the AGM Global Vision PVS-7 night vision goggles for a while now, I can confidently say that this device truly stands out in its field. As someone who frequently spends time outdoors, I've found the goggles to be incredibly reliable and efficient.
One aspect that blew me away was the automatic brightness control. It effortlessly adjusts the image's brightness in various lighting conditions, ensuring that I always have a clear view of the environment around me. The built-in infrared illuminator also adds a level of stealth that is pretty impressive. While I've had to get used to the bright light cut-off feature, I've come to appreciate its benefits in protecting the goggles' internal components.
The device is quite versatile, offering both handheld and head/helmet mounting options. The flip-up shut-off feature that comes with the optional helmet mount system is particularly handy in my line of work. The LED indicators in the eyepiece have been a great help in keeping track of battery life and signal status.
However, the device is quite heavy and requires some getting used to for extended use. The resolution may not be as sharp as some high-end models, but for the price point, its performance has been impressive. Overall, the AGM Global Vision PVS-7 has been a reliable and sturdy companion during my outdoor adventures, and I'm grateful for its capabilities.

🔗Versatile Fuzion LRF TM35-640 Thermal Monocular for Hunting and Outdoor Adventures


https://preview.redd.it/bg29gxed044d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d62d02a1f87cf852a486c6577de3652fc1316a6d
When I heard about the AGM Fuzion LRF TM35-640 Thermal Monocular, I had high hopes for this powerful tool in my hunting adventures. The high sensitivity thermal detector definitely exceeded my expectations, providing me with clear and detailed thermal images even in the lowest light conditions. The fast 50Hz imaging made every frame smooth and fluid, while the digital zoom allowed me to get a closer look at distant targets without losing clarity.
One feature that really stood out to me was the bi-spectrum image fusion, which combined both thermal and visible light images for better target recognition. The detail enhancement technology and the ability to choose between just thermal or visible view, or even a combination of the two, made this monocular incredibly versatile. The recording function and built-in 16 GB EMMC were great for saving memorable moments during my outdoor activities.
While there weren't too many negatives, I did find that the waterproof feature (IP67) seemed a bit too noticeable in the design. It took some getting used to, but it didn't really affect the overall functionality of the device. Another small downside was that the user interface wasn't the most intuitive, but I quickly learned how to navigate the settings after a few tries.
Overall, the AGM Fuzion LRF TM35-640 Thermal Monocular is a reliable and versatile companion for any hunting or outdoor adventure enthusiast. Its high sensitivity detector, smooth imaging, and advanced features make it a must-have for those seeking success in the great outdoors.

I recently had the chance to try out the AGM Global Vision PVS-14 NL1 Night Vision Monocular Gen 2+ Level 1 with Manual Gain. It's an impressive piece of equipment that, despite its rugged, lightweight design, still manages to pack in a range of features that make it a reliable choice for nighttime situations.
One of the key highlights for me was the automatic bright light shut-off feature. It's a thoughtful touch that protects the high-quality photocathode tube from damage. The system is easy to use, with clear LED indicators for low battery and infrared illumination levels.
However, there were a couple of drawbacks to the monocular. The battery life isn't quite as long as I would have liked, but a trade-off for its compact size. Additionally, the manual gain control can be a bit finicky, requiring careful adjustment to get the best image.
Despite these minor issues, overall I've been very impressed with the AGM Global Vision PVS-14 NL1 Night Vision Monocular Gen 2+ Level 1. It's a versatile, easy-to-use device that's been designed with the user in mind, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable, high-quality night vision device.

🔗Wolf-7 Pro NL1 Night Vision Goggles: Advanced Optics and IR Illuminator


https://preview.redd.it/s0hnh26e044d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8fde2006e0bf1951ce5dcde050488fbe74fdbfc
The AGM Wolf-7 Pro NL1 Night Vision Goggle has definitely made quite an impression in my life. I use it mostly when I sneak out for late-night hikes, and it has come in quite handy.
The low battery indicator is always flashing, but I've never run out of power during a hike. My favorite feature might be the automatic brightness control - infrared illuminator is a must.
Despite the brightness, it has a pretty low power consumption and can last for up to 40 hours on alkaline batteries when infrared is off. But if you need it, there's an inbuilt infrared illuminator that can deliver an impressive performance - bright enough to light up the darkest forest, but not visible to the naked eye. The diopter adjustment is simple and intuitive to use, and the focus range is adequate for a variety of distances, even under low light conditions.
Additionally, the built-in LED indicators are a great added touch to keep track of the battery life and infrared status. It's also pretty comfy to wear, with the head mounting system and the helmet adapter that makes it hands-free friendly. I highly recommend the AGM Wolf-7 Pro NL1 Night Vision Goggle for any hiker or adventurer who wants to see clearly in the dark! .

In the world of rugged, lightweight multi-purpose night vision devices, the AGM NVG-40 3AW1 Dual Tube Night Vision Goggle/Binocular stands out as a trusty companion. Having used this device in various challenging environments, I can attest to its durability and performance in the dark.
The NVG Interface Shoe, a preinstalled feature, enables seamless installation onto standard dovetail-type headset and helmet mounts, providing a secure fit for all-night operations. The Bayonet/Horn Interface Shoe, which is included, accomplishes the same task for standard bayonet/horn-type headset and helmet mounts. These versatile features allow for optimal compatibility and ease of use.
Additionally, the Mini-Rail Interface Shoe provides the option to mount the NVG to combat helmets or weapons for added functionality. This flexibility ensures that you'll always have the right setup for your specific needs.
The device itself is remarkably lightweight, weighing less than 12.4 ounces/0.32 kilograms, making it easy to carry around or even use handheld. Despite its lightweight build, the AGM NVG-40 3AW1 houses a comprehensive range of features to ensure optimal performance.
The automatic brightness control adjusts visuals in real-time based on the available light in the environment, ensuring a consistent, steady image. The bright light shut-off feature protects the high-quality photocathode tube from potential damage.
The AGM NVG-40 3AW1 Dual Tube Night Vision Goggle/Binocular is a high-quality device that meets the MIL-STD-810G Military standards for form and function. It's an impressive piece of equipment that serves as a dependable companion during your nighttime missions.

🔗AGM NVG-40 NW1 Night Vision Goggles: Advanced Performance for Optimal Night Vision


https://preview.redd.it/kzul9maf044d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e8f802928e44499278e308ed26ab8d283662c4b
As a night vision enthusiast, I recently had the chance to test out the AGM NVG-40 NW1 Night Vision Goggles. These goggles pack a punch when it comes to performance and features.
First off, the image quality is exceptional. The image intensifier tube with Gen 2+ "White Phosphor Level 1" technology provides a clear and bright image, just like daylight. I could easily spot animals and other objects in low-light conditions, making them perfect for wildlife viewing or nighttime surveillance.
One highlight of these goggles is the adjustable diopter, which allows you to fine-tune the image focus to your eyes. This was a game-changer for me as it ensured a sharp and comfortable view, even after prolonged use.
Now, let's talk about the battery life - it blew me away! 80 hours of continuous use on a single battery, now that's impressive. It's perfect for those long nighttime adventures where you don't want to worry about carrying extra batteries.
However, there were a couple of things I wished were better. The field of view (40°) could have been wider, as it sometimes felt a bit constricting when trying to track moving objects. Also, the head mount was a bit tricky to set up, but once I got it right, it worked well.
Overall, the AGM NVG-40 NW1 Night Vision Goggles are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for top-notch night vision technology without breaking the bank. Their performance, durability, and features make them a great value for the price.

🔗Compact, High-Resolution Dual-Spectrum Thermal Binoculars with GPS Module


https://preview.redd.it/yavlh4kf044d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=335c70e9944869bc58a0cd331eb98f8053905e02
I recently tried out the AGM Voyage LRF TB75-640 Thermal Binoculars, and let me tell you, it's quite the impressive piece of equipment. Out in the field, the binoculars served as my trusty sidekick, helping me locate and identify all kinds of objects.
One feature that really stood out for me was the dual-spectrum image fusion and object highlight. It made it incredibly easy to enhance details and recognize targets. The optical resolution of 2560x1440 was also a game-changer, ensuring sharp images even in the most challenging environments – think smoke, fog, rain, and snow. The NETD less than 20 mK was a powerful feature, making it possible to detect heat signatures from great distances.
However, there were a few downsides too. While the 12lb weight was manageable, I couldn't help but wish it were just a tad more lightweight for extended use. The same went for the 1024x768 OLED display; it was a bit low-resolution compared to what I'm accustomed to.
Overall, the AGM Voyage LRF TB75-640 Thermal Binoculars are a great tool if you're in the market for thermal imaging equipment. They're versatile, user-friendly, and offer fantastic image quality. Just remember that the weight and display resolution might be less than ideal for some users.

The 525 cranking amps and 350 cold cranking amps really make a difference in those crucial moments.
One thing that really stood out to me was the easy-to-read digital display and ON/OFF switch.

Additionally, it was important to note that this is a replacement battery and not a complete starter pack, so I had to use my existing cables and hardware.
One standout feature of this battery is the charging speed. It quickly charges and then switches to maintain mode, protecting the battery from overcharging. This was particularly helpful when I was using it on a daily basis.
The sturdiness of the battery was also impressive. It had a nice heavy case that gave me confidence in the battery's durability. The cords were long and easy to manage, which was a nice bonus when I needed to reach the back of my vehicle.
Overall, the Schumacher Electric DSR ProPSJ-2212 12V 18Ah Jump Starter Replacement Battery performed well and I was very pleased with my purchase. Its sturdiness, charging speed, and convenient maintenance-free technology make it a great addition to anyone's tool kit.

I have been using the Victron Energy BAT412025081 12V/25Ah AGM Super Cycle Batt. (M5) for quite some time now, and I must say, it's been a game-changer. One of the main highlights I've experienced is the ability to handle repeated 100% discharge without any worries. The Super Cycle battery's new paste in the positive plates allows for slightly less sensitivity to softening.
Another aspect I appreciate is the significant reduction in sulfation during deep discharge, thanks to new additives in the electrolyte. However, I have noticed that the weight of this battery seems to be fractionally more compared to its standard Victron counterparts.
In terms of downsides, the battery's dimensions and weight are slightly larger and heavier than the standard Deep Cycle AGM batteries, which might be a concern for those with limited storage space or weight restrictions. Overall, the Victron Energy BAT412025081 has proven to be a reliable and efficient solution for my needs, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

The Mighty Max battery has been a game changer in my experience. I switched to this sealed lead-acid battery when my old one started causing issues, and I have not looked back since. I use this 12V, 100Ah SLA battery to power my outdoor devices, and the consistent power supply it provides is quite impressive. The rechargeable feature is definitely a plus, allowing me to use the same battery multiple times without worrying about constantly having to replace it.
One of the aspects that I appreciate the most about this product is its durability. Despite being subjected to various outdoor conditions, the Mighty Max battery has been quite rugged and held up well. The spill-proof feature is a welcomed addition as well, ensuring that my device never gets damaged due to accidents.
That being said, there are a couple of minor downsides to this product. One of them is the weight; it is a bit on the heavier side, which may pose inconvenience when transporting it. Additionally, while the battery offers a decent amount of capacity, the performance under heavy load conditions can be somewhat inconsistent at times.
In summary, the Mighty Max battery, despite its minor flaws, has been a reliable and long-lasting addition to my device setup. Its portability could be improved slightly, but overall, I am quite pleased with my purchase.

🔗Mighty Max ML15-12 12V 15AH SLA Battery for Rechargeable Devices

I've been enjoying using the Mighty Max Battery Ml15-12 in my daily life. With a voltage of 12V and a capacity of 15Ah, it's been a reliable power source for my various needs. I especially love how it's compatible with many devices, like the Goal Zero Escape 150 Power Pack and the Razor Dirt Rocket SX500.
One of the highlights is the battery's spill-proof design, which ensures that it can be used in any position without worrying about leaks. It's also rechargeable, which makes it an eco-friendly option for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
However, one downside I've noticed is the battery's weight, at 8.78 pounds, which can make it a bit cumbersome to handle. Additionally, it can be challenging to locate all the necessary mounting accessories as they are not included in the package.
Overall, the Mighty Max Battery Ml15-12 has been a trusty companion for my power needs. With its various compatibility options and spill-proof design, it's a reliable choice for those in the market for a high-performance battery with a long service life.

2024.06.02 09:14 Beautiful_Throat_536 I am Obsessing over my Boyfriend's Ex while being Hyperaware of the Issue. How to be consistent in breaking this unhealthy habit?

I can't stop thinking about my boyfriend's ex. I know this isn't right, and I realize that my perceptions are just that—perceptions. I'll explain how I'm fully aware that I'm wrong. I'm hyperaware of the situation—I know the problems and I know the possible solutions. I simply don't know how to stop comparing myself to her, stop stalking her on social media, and truly be consistent.
She's just beyond perfect and flawless in my eyes. Everything about her is so lovely and I adore her so much. From her looks, which I find strikingly gorgeous, to her intelligence (both academically and socially), her wit, humor, and sociopolitical awareness. She's incredibly creative and talented—she can sing, play instruments, draw, paint, design. She seems to come from a happy, loving family. She's so loved by everyone. To me, everything about her is just perfect.
However, I'm also well aware that this isn't right. I'm hyperaware of the situation, and I know this isn't right because:
  1. No one deserves to be idealized and perceived as perfect. She's a human with flaws and struggles too. Idealizing her means I'm objectifying her, and that's not right. I even know that she's been struggling mentally, yet I still think she's perfect. I keep trying to humanize her, but it's so hard because in my head, she has it all.
  2. Human beings aren't comparable. There's no way one could ever measure and make a chart comparing two individuals because everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
  3. I don't totally see myself as worthless. I know my value. In other people's eyes, I can be pretty, smart, and talented too. However, when it comes to comparing myself to her, I feel like I'm trash because in my head, she's like a godlike creature.
  4. No one ever compares us. I'm the only one who does it. I don't crave reassurance or validation from my boyfriend or anyone because at this point, it doesn't even have anything to do with my relationship. She poses no threat to my relationship (for context, my relationship has been going great). The only problem is my excessive stalking of her social media because I want to be as perfect as I think she is. And yes, I know this has to do with my low self-esteem.
  5. I've tried to shift the focus onto myself, but I ended up feeling like I'm doing it to prove that I'm better than her. I feel like a fraud and a copycat for doing things that she also does, even though we have similar hobbies and even similar tastes in the very first place.
I'm also aware of the possible solutions. I've been to therapy, I've talked to my friends about it, and they've given me really good advice. Yet, I can't stop comparing myself to her. It's like I can't get myself to commit to do what's best for me. It's like I can't stop tormenting myself.
I can't stop having her inside my brain. I think about her a little too much, and I put her on a pedestal a little too high.
Question: All I'm asking is, how do I put a stop to this? I've tried to stop cold turkey, but it only lasted three days or so. I've muted and blocked her, yet I always find a way to check on her again. I can't stop thinking that she's perfect, even though I know she isn't. How do I completely stop obsessing over her and be absolutely consistent in breaking this habit? I’m struggling to make lasting changes.
TL;DR: I can't stop obsessing over my boyfriend's ex. I idealize her as perfect, compare myself to her, and stalk her social media, even though I know it's unhealthy and all of my perceptions are all wrong. I've tried to stop but I can't be consistent doing it. Seeking advice on how to move past this habit.

🔗Snapsafe Super Titan Modular Gun Safe: Fire-Resistant, Durable, and Easy to Assemble


https://preview.redd.it/7w913kzry34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e61f1d406fc8dd8cbfbca5067b3df59b64c4689
I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Snapsafe 75011 Super Titan Modular Gun Safe, and let me tell you, it left quite an impression. This bad boy assembles in minutes without needing any additional tools, thanks to its convenient modular assembly system. The sledgehammer and pry bar-resistant 3/16" solid steel door gives me peace of mind, knowing that my valuables are well protected.
One thing that stood out to me was the 9 gauge steel exterior walls, which provide a sturdy and reliable barrier. And with a UL Listed 1-hour fire rating, my mind is put at ease knowing that my fireproof gun safe can withstand some serious heat.
However, there were a few things that didn't quite live up to my expectations. The lock mechanism felt a bit cheap and had some slop to it, which wasn't exactly reassuring. Additionally, the bolts used for assembly were not the strongest, and a couple of them actually sheared during the process. It's worth mentioning that some users have also reported gaps between the side and front panels, which could potentially compromise the overall functionality of the safe.
All in all, the Snapsafe 75011 Super Titan Modular Gun Safe has its moments, but it's not flawless. If you're in the market for a fireproof gun safe with some extra features and the convenience of a modular design, this might be the one for you. Just be prepared for some minor hiccups along the way.

🔗Secure 3 Rifle Gun Cabinet with Digital Lock


https://preview.redd.it/7gyzivfsy34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19949c0a348c1ba2f724e7c12f2f231528d4298d
Nestled within the realm of personal security, the VEVOR 3 Rifles Gun Safe has been an invaluable ally in safeguarding my collection of firearms. Its digital keypad and robust construction create an aura of safety, providing me with peace of mind. The quick access feature has proven incredibly useful, especially during those moments when every second counts.
It's hard not to rave about its craftsmanship, a crucial aspect that never ceases to impress. The removable shelf, ammo storage box, and pistol rack make organization a hassle-free affair. However, one minor drawback - the locking mechanism could benefit from a more secure two-way system for enhanced security. Despite this, it's a reliable storage solution that ensures my loved ones remain protected from accidental access.

🔗Ultralight, Heavy-Duty Mil Spec Gun Safe with CradleGrid Technology


https://preview.redd.it/mrncforsy34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c60a0a95870d6e105fc64ce907658d6b6a1d5a0
As a gun owner who constantly needs to find a secure and efficient solution for my firearms, I recently tried the SecureIT Tactical Answer Ultralight Model 12. This gun safe offers an incredible balance of portability and heavy-duty security features, making it suitable for any gun owner.
What truly stands out is its ultralight design, which cuts hundreds of pounds off the weight of older gun vaults. This means you can easily reposition the safe without compromising its security, a convenience that's hard to find elsewhere.
One of the highlights, the CradleGrid Technology, enables organized and adaptable storage. For someone like me who likes to keep track of my firearms, this feature is a game-changer. Additionally, the fact that it's fully welded and can be secured to the floor adds an extra layer of security.
However, no product is without its drawbacks. One potential downside is the relatively low gun capacity of 12 long guns. While it's sufficient for most people, I can see how some might appreciate a larger capacity.
Overall, the SecureIT Tactical Answer Ultralight Model 12 has been a reliable and practical solution in my daily life. Its innovative features coupled with its portable design make it an excellent investment for any gun owner.

🔗Military-Grade Secure It Fast Box Gun Safe


https://preview.redd.it/xvu68l5ty34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50f00edd8807d2462e05f4804208c5663dbfd78a
In my quest for ensuring the safety of my home and family, I recently came across the SecureIt Fast Box Model 47 Gun Safe. This sleek and compact gun safe was surprisingly easy to install and use. Within minutes of opening the package, I had it securely mounted under my bed, ready to protect my firearms.
The gun safe's silhouette is perfect for blending in with the surroundings, and its locking system is a breeze to use with a push-button mechanism. It's incredibly satisfying to know my firearms are securely locked away, yet readily accessible when needed.
While I appreciate the versatility of the safe, with optional mountings for horizontal or vertical storage, I must admit that the lack of specific mounting hardware for these positions was a little frustrating. Nonetheless, I managed to find a suitable solution.
What stood out the most to me was the durable construction of the safe, with a 14-gauge all-welded steel finish that exudes quality. The weight of the safe also contributed to my reassurance that it's a robust and reliable product.
With the SecureIt Fast Box Model 47 Gun Safe, I feel confident that my family and I are safe from any potential dangers. Though there are minor drawbacks, the pros clearly outweigh the cons, making this an excellent investment for anyone seeking to secure their firearms.

🔗Reliable and Adaptable Ultralight Gun Safe for Secure Storage


https://preview.redd.it/n1quw9nty34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da496b19f95de78c743443dadcbcae77e797f223
A few weeks ago, I found myself in need of a secure firearm storage solution. I came across the SecureIT Model 52 Gun Cabinet and decided to give it a try. This 14-gauge firearm storage device, claimed by the manufacturer to be an ultralight gun safe, was surprisingly easy to handle despite its heavy-duty construction. Assembling it was a breeze, all thanks to the internal assembly system and the KnockDown technology that allows it to be taken apart quickly for easier transportation.
What really stood out for me was the CradleGrid Technology. It made the Model 52 stand out from other safes because of its adaptable and organized storage capabilities for six long firearms. The adjustable grid system allowed me to easily customize the setup according to my needs, much like playing Tetris or building with Legos. The compatibility with other Cradle Grid accessories is a plus, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a modular and customizable firearm storage solution.
While the SecureIT Model 52 Gun Cabinet has many great features, there are a few drawbacks. The pricing might seem high to some, but considering the premium materials and features, it seems justifiable. I also found that the rear-wall louvers could be more secure, as they are quite open to potential fire or water damage from the outside world.
Overall, the SecureIT Model 52 Gun Cabinet was a solid purchase for me, offering convenience, ease of use, and a customizable approach to firearm storage. It might not be perfect, but the pros certainly outweigh the cons, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone in the market for a reliable, high-quality gun safe.

2024.06.02 09:08 rydog317 Online League Openings!

Well, since the weekly auto thread isn't working right now, we have openings for ACE baseball association!
ACE is looking for 3 GMs! The Twins, Royals, and Tigers!
ACE is on OOTP 25, originally a 2021 live start league, and are just in the beginning stages of the 2039 season!. Running 19 seasons strong!!
https://atl-01.statsplus.net/aceba/
Daily 7 day simulations, usually around 11pm EST
Saturdays are supposed to be off, but we do some surprise sims with enough exports.
The league has some quirks that you may not find elsewhere; the A's are now the Vegas Vipers, we have implemented a 150m budget floor for low-budget teams and a 300m budget max, and run the MLB Draft Lottery.
On to the teams....
-The Twins have undoubtedly the best rotation in the MLB, backed by some young and bright stars and a 33yo ACE (haha, get it?). Also boasted by a young corps in the lineup, the Twins have a great shot at contention this year. However, the lineup's top OVR maxes at a rating of 60 and their farm system is ranked 26th out of 30th so there wouldn't be a lot to trade away for a competitive window. A new GM could push the chips to go all in on a playoff push this year, retool, or full rebuild and get a premium penny for their young MLB talent. (THIS COULD BE YOU!)
-If you want to take another AL Central team and face the Twins, the Royals could be the team to do it. Preseason predictions project the team to lead the AL Central to a ticket of 94-68 and are very similar to the Twins in terms of pitching and lineups. The arms are a little less talented, the bats are a little bit more talented and both are a little more aged, like fine wine. Their farm ranks 16th out of 30th, primarily backed by 18th ranked prospect SP Danny Barraza, who could be a 2-way phenom when he finishes development.
-Last but not least, the 3rd AL Central team that is open are the Tigers. Los Tigres are a great bunch, rocking 2 30yo star pitchers and a 32yo ace of the staff Chris Schaefer (who is only paid 12m aav through 2042!). The bats are also almost all on the other side of 30, except for up and coming perennial All-Star Andrew McPhee, the son of Nanny McPhee :wink: . The Tigers also have the #1 prospect in all of the MLB in Orlando Baker, who is currently playing in AAA and almost ready to come contribute to the lineup! The rest of the farm is ranked 9th currently, but might go down a little bit since the other top 100 prospect is none other than McPhee.
These are all honestly great teams that could use some great long term GMs at the helm. If you're interested, throw down a DM, PM, or carrier pigeon today!

2024.06.02 09:06 Beautiful_Throat_536 I (21F) am Obsessing over my Boyfriend (21M)'s Ex (21F) while being Hyperaware of the Issue. How to be absolutely consistent in breaking this habit?

I can't stop thinking about my boyfriend's ex. I know this isn't right, and I realize that my perceptions are just that—perceptions. I'll explain how I'm fully aware that I'm wrong. I'm hyperaware of the situation—I know the problems and I know the possible solutions. I simply don't know how to stop comparing myself to her, stop stalking her on social media, and truly be consistent.
She's just beyond perfect and flawless in my eyes. Everything about her is so lovely and I adore her so much. From her looks, which I find strikingly gorgeous, to her intelligence (both academically and socially), her wit, humor, and sociopolitical awareness. She's incredibly creative and talented—she can sing, play instruments, draw, paint, design. She seems to come from a happy, loving family. She's so loved by everyone. To me, everything about her is just perfect.
However, I'm also well aware that this isn't right. I'm hyperaware of the situation, and I know this isn't right because:
  1. No one deserves to be idealized and perceived as perfect. She's a human with flaws and struggles too. Idealizing her means I'm objectifying her, and that's not right. I even know that she's been struggling mentally, yet I still think she's perfect. I keep trying to humanize her, but it's so hard because in my head, she has it all.
  2. Human beings aren't comparable. There's no way one could ever measure and make a chart comparing two individuals because everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
  3. I don't totally see myself as worthless. I know my value. In other people's eyes, I can be pretty, smart, and talented too. However, when it comes to comparing myself to her, I feel like I'm trash because in my head, she's like a godlike creature.
  4. No one ever compares us. I'm the only one who does it. I don't crave reassurance or validation from my boyfriend or anyone because at this point, it doesn't even have anything to do with my relationship. She poses no threat to my relationship (for context, my relationship has been going great). The only problem is my excessive stalking of her social media because I want to be as perfect as I think she is. And yes, I know this has to do with my low self-esteem.
  5. I've tried to shift the focus onto myself, but I ended up feeling like I'm doing it to prove that I'm better than her. I feel like a fraud and a copycat for doing things that she also does, even though we have similar hobbies and even similar tastes in the very first place.
I'm also aware of the possible solutions. I've been to therapy, I've talked to my friends about it, and they've given me really good advice. Yet, I can't stop comparing myself to her. It's like I can't get myself to commit to do what's best for me. It's like I can't stop tormenting myself.
I can't stop having her inside my brain. I think about her a little too much, and I put her on a pedestal a little too high.
Question: All I'm asking is, how do I put a stop to this? I've tried to stop cold turkey, but it only lasted three days or so. I've muted and blocked her, yet I always find a way to check on her again. I can't stop thinking that she's perfect, even though I know she isn't. How do I completely stop obsessing over her and be absolutely consistent in breaking this habit? I’m struggling to make lasting changes.
TL;DR: I can't stop obsessing over my boyfriend's ex. I idealize her as perfect, compare myself to her, and stalk her social media, even though I know it's unhealthy and all of my perceptions are all wrong. I've tried to stop but I can't be consistent doing it. Seeking advice on how to move past this habit.

2024.06.02 09:05 StunningWeekend Long-Time iPhone User After 72 hours With Android (Pixel 8 then Samsung S24 Ultra) - My Reflections So Far

(Note: I posted this on Android but I wasn't sure if I did something incorrect because it was removed by the bot immediately, and I don't know how to get it approved. So... if you see it there too, then it must have gotten approved at some point and that's why. Just trying to find a home for this discussion and I promise I'm not trying to spam!)
After a decade with iPhone, curiosity finally got the better of me and I made the switch to Android. My trusty iPhone 13 Mini is still there just in case, but I really do hope to sell it soon. I wanted to document my journey over the last 72 hours with Android in case it helps someone else sitting on the margin just looking to dive in.
These 10 things are simply my opinions and reflections! I'm sure my feelings will continue to evolve, but here's where I'm at after 3 days. As I started typing, I did not expect this to be so long, but I had so many things floating through my head. Sorry for the long read and I'd love to hear others who have made similar changes.
1. Sloppy first impressions: I started with a Pixel 8. Got it for $390, in like new condition during eBay's memorial day sale, and just couldn't pass up that deal. The look of the phone never really attracted me before, but after a few hours it really grew on me. However, I really started to get annoyed at the experience and polish. For example, I had a lot of screens where the text was cut off or folders where the text was cut off. There were system pop-ups where I was expected to approve something that disappeared within a second before I could even read it - was it approved or was it declined?! But what really was upsetting was that there's no way to sort notifications by time. The phone would beep and then I'd have to spend a few seconds trying to figure out what the heck the notification was amidst the long list. Half the time, the time stamp doesn't even show and I'm left wondering if I missed something. This was exacerbated when I started not receiving notifications I would expect, because my iPhone (which was still on WiFi only mode) was getting notifications for new Gmail messages for example, and the Pixel just stayed quiet. That was unacceptable and I decided to return the phone.
However, my significant other has a Samsung, and she mentioned never having these issues so I stuck it out and tried again. This time, I figured - go big or go home - and I got the Samsung S24 Ultra.
2. Much better second try: I read a lot of bad experiences about the UI of Samsung coming into this, but frankly it's a lot more polished than the Pixel. It's like there's a nice coat of paint over all the underlying workings and as an iPhone user, I appreciate that. Everything looks great and while I've been toying with some of the themes in the Galaxy store, I have gone back to the normal One UI each time.
3. Smart Switch works great. It took about an hour to transfer all my settings and applications over to the Samsung. The only thing that took a little bit of figuring out was how to get 25K+ iCloud backed up photos onto this phone. Fortunately, there's an official Apple method for transferring iCloud files to Google Photos, and I initiated that. It's still not done but assuming this goes to plan, the transfer process wasn't that bad at all. I pretty much plopped my iPhone sim card into the Android, spent an hour waiting, and then all my old applications, wallpapers, and even placement of icons was there. Then, I just spent about half an hour signing into everything that I needed to (1Password is hugely helpful!) and I'm off to the races.
4. Settings galore: I am not used to this many settings! It seems I am approving or declining permissions all day long. I have multiple Gmail accounts setup, and I have to go in and adjust each account's notification setting when I just want all of my Gmail messages to have the same setting. I thought I would like this level of customization but it's been a little frustrating finding everything, or trying to figure out what I'm even approving. I find myself on YouTube looking for videos for how to change things such as the lock screen shortcuts. I am hoping that once I get through this initial difficulty, then I'll be cruising. And the biggest thing - Samsung lets me sort notifications in chronological order! That's huge (for me).
5. Navigation bars on top. Why?: I had a small iPhone Mini so one-handed navigation was never a real challenge but I still appreciated how all the menu bars (Facebook, Safari, etc.) were on the bottom of the phone. It made navigation really easy. With all the customization I mentioned in #3, I just assumed this would be an easy fix on Android and I'd be able to change this for any app. I was wrong! Other than Firefox, I have not figured out how to do this in Chrome or Facebook (as an example). I really do not understand why the iPhone version of Facebook would have this on the bottom but the Android version would have it on the top! For a phone as big as the S24U, that would've been a really nice option.
6. PhoneLink is pretty good: I had gotten rid of my Macbook a long time ago. I basically live on my Phone and also have an iPad for when I need a bigger screen and a Windows desktop for professional work. Integration b/w devices was never a big deal to me but I put I setup Phone Link and it's been pretty good. I don't have any real complaints so far - I can transfer files and get all my notifications and respond directly from my computer.
7. Dex is really cool but also buggy: The dream of having only to carry around my phone and never having to open up a laptop, tablet or desktop would be amazing. This phone is definitely powerful enough for the applications I use for work - Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc. But Dex has some weird quirks that make it a little unreliable. For example, every time I open up an image in Gallery on Dex, the screen goes black for a few seconds before coming back on. Close the picture? Same thing! The cursor scroll just isn't as smooth as on my Desktop machine where I can customize the DPI settings exactly on the Logitech app. These are small things but build up into a less than perfect experience. But when it works, it works great and it's so close to a dream realized.
8. Face unlock is pretty bad, and the fingerprint reader can be hit or miss: FaceID on iPhone was a pleasure to use, except when it's not - i.e., I'm lying in bed. But for most situations, it works pretty good. For those moments I do wish I had a fingerprint reader so it's really nice to have that on the Samsung. But with that said, the Face unlock is horrendously bad. It works about 3/4 of the time in good light and then never in low light. I think the fingerprint reader is 80% successful on the first try for me but that's still lower than I think it should be. Perhaps I should re-register my finger. (Also, what's up with the super bright fingerprint reader on the Pixel 8? I feel like I was staring at the sun every time went to activate it! That said, it does feel like the Pixel's face unlock is better than Samsung). And on the topic of security, I think one of the biggest things I miss is Apple Pay. Some of my favorite go-to restaurants locally let me order online and pay directly using Apple Pay. Now I have to memorize my credit card number....
9. This thing is super powerful. I think people who choose Android chose it for two primary reasons: customization (which I mention in #2 and #3) and power to be productive. It has been very cool to be able to export files from one app directly into another app, edit it there, and save it as a file and then transfer it to my desktop. On iPhone, it was never a certainty which applications I'd be able to import files directly into but on Samsung it seems everything is available. There's always a workaround or solution or a method to doing something and that's been pretty cool. The Snapdragon processor is quick and the screen is beautiful. It's a great media consumption device and I hope it continues to be as snappy as it is now, because 7 years of updates is a very long time!
10. But the size of this phone is kinda insane. Especially coming from an iPhone mini, this thing is so big! It literally does even fit in my pockets when I am sitting and I've had it slide out a couple times onto the floor already because so much physically hangs out of my pants when seated. If Samsung made a smaller Ultra version of the phone in the same size as the S24, then that would be perfect (kinda like how Apple has the Pro and Pro Max). I think if there's a reason I end up going back to iPhone, it's because of the size of this thing. I want something as powerful as the Ultra but in a smaller package, and I haven't found another company that makes something like that. I don't have a case yet and maybe a more textured case will resolve this.
I'll keep this experiment going as I want to make a real effort to switch. Looking forward to continued learning!

The Houseables Bungee Cords with Hooks have become a trusty companion in my daily life. Their 48-inch length ensures that I can secure even the heftiest objects without having to worry about them slipping away. The premium-grade rubber construction adds durability and resistance to stretching, guaranteeing these cords will stay strong for a long time.
The most impressive feature is the stretch capacity of these bungee cords, which can extend from 4 feet to a remarkable 10 feet. I've found that the extra length allows for better shock absorption, making it easier to manage heavy loads and maintain a smooth and safe transfer.
One of the things I appreciate the most is the adjustability of these cords. They can be easily manipulated and tightened to hold large items in place, while also being simple to release when needed. The flat hooks are a game-changer, as they lie better and create a more reliable attachment point compared to traditional round ones.
However, there is one minor drawback to these cords - the bright yellow color may not be to everyone's taste. Some may prefer a more subdued hue. Despite this, the overall performance and convenience of the Houseables Bungee Cords with Hooks make them a great choice for anyone in need of reliable and versatile straps for securing heavy items.

The durable design ensures that the cord stretches perfectly over your cargo without compromising its strength.
However, like any product, there are a couple of cons. While the bungee cord is well-constructed, it can be a bit tricky to adjust, which might cause some inconvenience during use. Additionally, the steel hooks can be a bit sharp, which might require some extra care while handling.
Overall, this Hampton Products Keeper 06180 Heavy-Duty Bungee Cord is a remarkable product that is perfect for securing cargo and making your life easier.

Its length can be adjusted from 6 inches to 60 inches, and the marine-grade rubber core ensures it's strong and durable enough to handle any task.
However, there is one downside - it only comes in one size. I wish they offered a longer size for even more versatility. Overall, the Monkey Fingers Bungee Cord is a reliable, easy-to-use, and adaptable tool that has become an essential part of my outdoor adventures.

🔗Versatile Premium Bungee Cord Multi-Pack


https://preview.redd.it/29zz8i95x34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=469b96613f3799c91923d8fbc0ee92c2f5dd8ff7
I recently tried out the Keeper Bungee Cord Variety Pack, and I must say, it's been a game-changer in my daily life. This pack of 12 different bungee cords offers a wide range of options, ensuring you have the perfect cord for any situation. The 25cm, 46cm, 60cm, 80cm, and 90cm cords make it versatile and useful for various tasks.
But what really stood out for me is the premium quality of the cords. They are made from top-tier, long-lasting rubber that ensures they won't snap or lose their strength over time. The protective coating is a thoughtful feature that resists corrosion and won't chip my paint. Plus, the heavy gauge steel hooks are dependable and easy to use.
However, one downside I faced was with the mini cords. They were a bit too small for my needs, so I had to use them sparingly. But overall, the Keeper Bungee Cord Variety Pack was an excellent investment, providing me with a range of high-quality cords that have made my life easier.

🔗Versatile and Safe Bungee Cords for ATV, Truck, and Outdoor Accessories


https://preview.redd.it/t9sjgin5x34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4987cb4278b8a711546a0975a354e8bca2ca7109
As an avid camper, I found the Loop Rope Campers Pack to be a game-changer. Say goodbye to those pesky bungee cords that always seem to wear themselves out and end up with an unsightly mess. This Loop Rope system is not only safer, but also incredibly easy to use. The loops evenly placed on the rope eliminate the need for complex knots, while the double sided stainless steel clips secure your cargo perfectly.
I appreciate the versatility of this product. No matter what you're trying to secure, whether it's a boat, a mattress, camping gear, or even drying clothes, this Loop Rope system does the job with ease. The different lengths of clips make it even more suitable for various applications.
However, as with all products, it's not without its small drawbacks. The clips can be a bit difficult to attach at times, and it might take a bit of force to stretch the rope to the desired tension. Despite this, the pros certainly outweigh the cons, making the Loop Rope Campers Pack an indispensable addition to any camper's gear.

🔗Versatile Adjustable Bungee Cord with UV Protection


https://preview.redd.it/4tsv8vv5x34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=031a5b4327e544027a1f41d4bac5dd4e78e77458
Using the Danik Hook Adjustable Bungee Cord has been a game-changer in my outdoor adventures. The adjustability feature allows you to set the length to your preferred range, from 6" to 48" unstretched. Its durability is evident with the UV-protected hooks and bungee, ensuring longevity and protection against the harsh elements.
One of the things I appreciate the most is the versatility of this product. It can be used in various settings, such as boating or camping, without any hassle. The option to swap out Bungee cords for 5/32" - 3/8" diameter ropes or parachute cord makes it even more adaptable to your needs.
Despite its great features, there's one downside: the Danik Hook Adjustable Bungee Cord can be a bit challenging to tighten the bungee cord and adjust the length. However, once you get the hang of it, it becomes a smooth process.
Overall, this Made in the USA adjustable bungee cord has made my outdoor experiences more convenient, and I highly recommend it for those seeking a strong, customizable, and adjustable bungee cord for their adventures.

🔗National Hardware Adjustable Bungee - The Ultimate Cargo Securing Solution


https://preview.redd.it/w8lj1xa6x34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f764521f03a0a5b3a4db3171bd5556ccd8622dd
When I'm out exploring, I like to have a bungee that can handle anything thrown my way – and that's exactly what National Hardware's Adjustable Bungee offers. With carabiner hooks that can be used as tie-down straps or in place of ratchet straps, it's the only bungee I'll ever need.
The adjustable length from 9-in to 60-in allows me to secure my cargo without worrying about it shifting or being tossed around. The slip-resistant securing system and easy-to-use mounting feature also make it a reliable option for garage organization and securing sports balls on shelves.
One of my favorite features is the interchangeable carabiners – I can swap them out for S-hooks or quick-links depending on what I need to secure. Plus, the product comes with two adjustable bungees, which is double the amount of security for my adventures.
Overall, this bungee is a must-have for any explorer. It's easy to use, secure, and versatile, making it the perfect addition to any vehicle or outdoor excursion.

🔗Versatile and Durable Adjustable Cargo Net - Ideal for Outdoor Use and All Weather Conditions


https://preview.redd.it/xgow8km6x34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79cc2d5fcdcc248a4240206e97a3434e0160b7f2
I recently got my hands on the Flex-Web Adjustable Cargo Net, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer. This 72-inch net ensures I can safely secure my gear while on the go.
The unique feature of this net is its six adjustable arms, secured to a central powder-coated ring. It allows for a full adjustable net, perfect for those unpredictable cargo changes. The ABS plastic hook ends are a fantastic addition, as they prevent scratching surfaces and stay secure during transportation.
One of the things I appreciate most is the ability of each arm to stretch twice their length, making it easy to accommodate various cargo sizes. And with its UV, Chemical, Fuel, and Oil Resistance along with waterproof properties, this net is built to withstand all kinds of weather conditions.
While it's made in the USA since 2008, it's designed to be versatile, suitable for ATVs, motorcycles, UTVs, trucks, trailers - basically, anything you'd need a secure cargo net for. It's truly a fantastic product, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone in need of a durable and reliable bungee cord.

🔗Premium Adjustable Bungee Cords with Strong Steel Hooks and UV Protection


https://preview.redd.it/ddjtcg57x34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc25854739432f354370df1ba385c93f2b69d096
I've been using the SmartStraps Premium Adjustable Bungee Cords for a while now, and they've served my needs pretty well. The super strong cord is definitely more durable than the standard bungee cords I've used in the past. The adjustable feature is a game-changer, eliminating the need for multiple length cords. All you need is one bungee cord that can adapt to various situations.
However, I did notice that the cord's elasticity might degrade over time, especially in extreme weather conditions. Also, the steel hooks are not the best when it comes to scratch-resistance on delicate surfaces. But overall, these bungee cords are pretty convenient and useful for various situations.

🔗25 ft. Round Stretch Adjustable Bungee Cords


https://preview.redd.it/x8uyjn97x34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79c5d101f723a0243a1f531f391ec7687e0b9dc7
The Haul-Master 25 ft. Round Stretch Cord with Adjustable Hooks has become quite the life saver in my day-to-day activities. It's like having a superhero sidekick who's always there to help you secure and manage your cargo. Whether it's tying down a floppy hot tub tarp or securing a trailer cover through the winter, this bungee cord is the perfect tool for the job.
One of the most impressive features of this product is its adjustable length. It's like having a chameleon that can change its size on command. With the simple twist of a hook, I can easily adjust the cord to reach any length I need. This flexibility has turned what could be a cumbersome task into a breeze.
However, there's one downside I've noticed with this bungee cord. Despite its durability and easy-to-use design, the outer jacket seems to have a slight tendency to fade over time. Sure, it's not a major issue, but I would love to see a product that can withstand all the elements, not just some.
Overall, the Haul-Master 25 ft. Round Stretch Cord with Adjustable Hooks is a fantastic product. Its adaptability and strength make it a versatile tool in my arsenal, and I'm sure it will continue to come in handy for many projects to come. Despite the minor flaw, I would highly recommend this bungee cord to anyone in need of a reliable tie-down solution.

As someone who's had the pleasure of using a set of Keeper Bungee Cords, I must say, they're a game changer. The vibrant orange color sure catches the eye and makes it easy to spot in any environment. And boy, do they live up to the "durable outer jacket" claim. I've left them out in the sun for days, and not once have they shown any signs of wear.
The industrial-strength design is quite impressive too. The hooks are definitely larger than your average bungee cord, which means fewer scratches on my belongings. I particularly appreciate that they're corrosion-resistant, ensuring they'll last a lifetime.
However, there's one thing I wish was different - the thickness. At 0.374 inches, it can sometimes be a bit too thick for certain tasks, making it a bit cumbersome to use. But overall, the Keeper Bungee Cords are a fantastic investment for those who need a reliable and sturdy solution for securing their goods.

I recently gave Axemax's Heavy Duty Bungee Cords a try and have to say, they impressed me. The color-coding feature made it a breeze to organize my belongings, and I loved the variety of sizes they offer. The durable rubber and cross-woven latex material held up to some rough use, and the UV resistance means these cords will keep their color even after spending time outside.
On the downside, I found the hook design could be a bit more robust. A couple of times, I had issues with the hooks breaking or loosening under pressure. However, this issue was outweighed by the convenience of having a carry bag for easy storage and retrieval of the cords.
All in all, these adjustable bungee cords make a useful addition to any outdoor adventure or work situation, providing flexibility and durability. I'd definitely recommend them to my friends!

I recently tried out the MOLADRI Black Adjustable Bungee Cords with Hooks Set, and I have to say, they've become a lifesaver in my daily life. These bungee cords are incredibly versatile, offering multiple uses such as securing luggage to the roof of my car or holding down a picnic tablecloth during a windy outdoor meal.
One striking feature that stood out to me is their adjustability. The length of these cords can be easily adapted to fit a wide range of situations, making them an essential item for anyone on the go. The flat, heavy-duty design also impressed me, as it not only absorbed shock from bumps and turns but also evenly distributed the load, improving the safety of my cargo.
However, while the flat design is a plus for securing heavy objects, it does make it difficult to use these bungee cords for less substantial items. Additionally, the metal hooks at the ends of the cords add extra durability, but they can be a bit tricky to untangle when storing them.
Overall, the MOLADRI Black Adjustable Bungee Cords with Hooks Set has become an indispensable part of my daily routine, thanks to their versatility and durability. Despite the occasional struggles with untangling the hooks, the benefits far outweigh the inconveniences, making this set a wise purchase for anyone in need of a reliable and adaptable bungee cord.

I recently tried out the Monkey Fingers Adjustable Bungee Cords, and let me tell you, they're a game-changer for anyone who needs to keep their cargo secure. The bright red color definitely stands out, making it easy to see even in low-light situations. The 2-pack is perfect for keeping one in the car and one on your boat or ATV.
The adjustability of the bungee cords is truly a lifesaver, letting me quickly switch between lengths depending on the load at hand. The hooks are sturdy, making it easy to secure even the heaviest loads, and the bungee cords themselves are incredibly durable, withstanding harsh sun and salt water without any issues. My only complaint is that the hooks could use a slightly larger size for securing cargo on ATVs.
Overall, these are the best bungee cords I've ever tried, and I highly recommend them! .

Buyer's Guide

Adjustable bungee cords are versatile and practical tools that can be used for a wide range of purposes. They come in various widths, lengths, and capacities, making them suitable for different applications.

Important Features

1. Stretch Capacity


https://preview.redd.it/lfp9yhuax34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7ff8addd0f24e9adf3f4f66aeb5dfed5d47f6b1
The stretch capacity of an adjustable bungee cord is the maximum distance it can stretch without breaking. This is an important consideration when choosing the right bungee cord for your needs. For smaller loads, a lower stretch capacity will suffice, while for heavier loads, a higher stretch capacity is required.

2. Diameter

The diameter of an adjustable bungee cord affects its strength and flexibility. A wider cord is generally stronger, but more inflexible, while a narrower cord is more flexible but less strong. Choose a bungee cord's diameter based on the load it will be supporting and the angles it will need to stretch at.

3. Coated or Uncoated

Adjustable bungee cords can either be coated or uncoated. Coated cords are more resistant to wear and tear, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications, while uncoated cords are more flexible and lightweight, making them suitable for light-duty applications.

4. Quality and Durability

To ensure the longevity of your adjustable bungee cord, choose one made from high-quality materials and built for durability. Look for reinforced end fittings and sturdy construction.

Consider the specific application for your adjustable bungee cord. Will it be used to secure a load to a vehicle, to hold two objects together, or for stretching exercises? Understanding how you will use the bungee cord will help you choose the right one with the appropriate stretch capacity and diameter.

2. Budget

Adjustable bungee cords come in a wide range of prices, depending on their size, strength, and quality. Determine your budget before making a purchase, and consider the bungee cord's expected lifespan and suitability for your applications. Remember, cheaper options might not always be the best value.

3. Brand Reputation


https://preview.redd.it/g37l8ckbx34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a720f58177e61675d9f9ba77068cd0c9c91ab6b

General Advice and Precautions

Before using an adjustable bungee cord, always read the manufacturer's instructions for proper handling and usage. This can help you avoid accidents and damage to your load or the bungee cord itself.

2. Avoid Overstretching

3. Keep the Cord Organized and Tangled-Free

A tangled or knotted bungee cord can be difficult to deal with and can even damage the cord. Make sure to keep your adjustable bungee cord organized and untangled to extend its lifespan and maintain its strength and flexibility.

4. Choose the Right Bungee Cord for the Job

Using the wrong bungee cord for the job can lead to accidents, damage to your load, and even personal injury. Always choose the appropriate bungee cord based on your load's weight, the distance it needs to stretch, and the angles involved in the stretching.

2024.06.02 08:53 RhiR2020 Bell’s Palsy - 11 year old still unwell

Hi all,
My darling daughter (11F, neurogenic bladder) was taken to the hospital 2 weeks ago because her eye had swollen shut and her eyebrow had drooped. The doctor checked for foreign objects, and there wasn’t anything, so he thought it might be an allergy. He sent her home with allergy eye drops.
It didn’t improve, so we took her to the pharmacy, who suggested it could be an infection, so gave her some Chlorisig eye drops, and told us to go back to the doctors if it didn’t improve.
It didn’t, so we went to the doctor on Friday, who checked her eye again. He said it looked like an infection, so to get the Chlorisig ointment and use that as well as the drops - and if it continued to go back to the hospital.
Monday afternoon, still no improvement, so we went to the hospital again. After blood tests which ruled out infection, the doctors diagnosed her with Bell’s Palsy Grade 3, didn’t give us anything for it and sent us home.
She’s still feeling crummy (fatigue, pain and aches all over, sore head, not liking the light), at what point should we take her back to the hospital or the doctors? What other tests should we be asking for? I’m worried about our girl, she’s definitely not herself. Thank you all in advance x

Do Adidas gym bags have separate compartments for shoes and wet clothing?

  1. Consider the types of items you need to carry, such as clothes, shoes, toiletries, and electronics.

  3. Consider your personal preferences for style, materials, and features, such as straps, compartments, and zippers.

Are Adidas gym bags waterproof?

Some Adidas gym bags offer water-resistant or waterproof materials, providing protection from light rain and moisture. However, not all bags are designed to be fully waterproof, so it's essential to check the specifications of the bag you're interested in to determine its level of water resistance.

Do Adidas gym bags come with a warranty?

Adidas offers a one-year limited warranty on most of its products, including gym bags. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and workmanship issues but does not cover normal wear and tear or damage caused by misuse or neglect. If you have any issues with your bag within the warranty period, contact Adidas's customer service for assistance.

How can I maximize the lifespan of my Adidas gym bag?

  • Store your bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Avoid overloading your bag, as this can strain the seams and cause damage.
  • Clean your bag regularly and spot-clean any spills or stains promptly to prevent long-term damage.
  • Avoid exposing your bag to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to degrade over time.

2024.06.02 08:45 CentennialElections 2024 Presidential Prediction (6/1/2024)

 2024 Presidential Prediction (6/1/2024)
Presidential (Margins: 1/5/15)
Even though Trump got convicted a few days ago, my prediction for the presidential race from last month really hasn't changed yet. After the sentencing, if Trump's support starts to drop dramatically, then I would likely make changes in my August to early November predictions to reflect that. For now, I still think Biden has an underrated chance of winning, but it's still looking to be very close, closer than 2020. Unlike last month, however, I'd like to go into detail about why I have these placements.
Likely Republican States:
  • Missouri: Even though this was a Safe Republican state in 2016 and 2020, it only barely went over 15% for Trump. In 2020, it even trended left relative to the nation (18.51% to 15.39%, 20.6% to 19.84%). More importantly, much like in Kansas, the percentage of vote the GOP gets in the rurals have largely been in the 70s-80s, while the suburbs are competitive and within reach for Democrats. With that in mind, I could see Missouri dipping just below 15% in 2024. I've seen the same argument made for Indiana too, though I'm a little more hesitant with that (for now) since it was a point or two redder than Missouri.
    • Predicted Margin: R+14-14.5
  • South Carolina: Should be self-explanatory. For the last several elections, South Carolina has been in the Likely Republican range. When adjusting for national environment, SC has remained rather stagnant, hovering around 14-16% of the national environment. Right now, there's nothing to indicate that will change much at all.
    • Predicted Margin: R+12-12.5
  • Kansas: As I mentioned with Missouri, Kansas' rurals are starting to max out, while the suburban areas are becoming better for Democrats. It's happening a lot faster for Kansas than for Missouri though. In particular, the state's 5 most populated counties, Johnson, Sedgwick, Shawnee, Wyandotte, and Douglas have all been moving to the left It's been trending to the left relative to the nation since 2012 (21.61%, 20.42%, 14.65%; when adjusting for NPV - 25.47%, 22.51%, 19.10%). As such, I expect Kansas to be more competitive in 2024, though not below 10%.
    • Predicted Margin: R+11.5-12
  • Nebraska's 1st Congressional District: Similarly to Kansas, Nebraska's 1st has been seeing some strong trends to the left (alongside the 2nd District). While it has been redder than Kansas so far, the recent redistricting has flipped their positions, with NE-01 being bluer now (taking away from NE-02).
    • Predicted Margin: R+10.5-11
  • Iowa: Iowa has been fairly red from 2016 onwards, and unlike in Ohio, Democrats have only one statewide office - Auditor. No senators, no members of Congress... almost nothing. It did go from R+9.41 to R+8.2 in 2020, but relative to the nation, it actually trended right (11.50% to 12.65%). I don't really see how this state could move left without Biden outperforming nationwide.
    • Predicted Margin: R+9-10
  • Alaska: Alaska has s remained fairly Republican since 1968 (when Nixon narrowly won it), though it's been trending left for quite a while. In 2008, it voted for McCain by 21.53% (28.81% when adjusted for NPV), but in 2020, Trump only won it by 10.06% (14.51% when adjusted). Certain areas, like Anchorage, are getting a lot bluer. Additionally, Mary Peltola recently won the house race in 2022. That said, Anchorage is losing population despite its blue shift, and the WWC Mat-Su valley is growing in population. I still think it could shift left somewhat, but it will still be Likely Republican.
    • Predicted Margin: R+8.5-9.5
  • Ohio: Similar to Iowa, Ohio has been competitive for a while until 2016, and since then it's been fairly red. In both 2016 and 2020, it voted for Trump by about 8%, even trending to the right of the nation (10.16% vs 12.48%). Unlike in Iowa, though, Ohio Dems hold one statewide office - Senator Sherrod Brown. Additionally, while the rurals have gotten much redder, the suburbs are shifting blue, which could offset some of the Republican trends going on in the state. I don't see it moving much either way right now.
    • Predicted Margin: R+8-9
  • Florida: As with Ohio, Florida used to be a key battleground state, though the transition into a more Republican state was more gradual. Even before the 2022 midterms blowout, Florida seemed to be moving to the right. Although Biden did better nationwide than Clinton, he performed worse in Florida (1.20% vs 3.36%; adjusted - 3.29% vs 7.81%). Since then, Democrats have had only minor victories in Florida, and the registration numbers for Republicans have been going through the roof. While I think the rightward trends in Florida are sometimes exaggerated, they are real, and I don't see Biden doing well there.
    • Predicted Margin: R+7.5-8
  • Maine's 2nd Congressional District: Once a decently Democratic district, ME-02 has become far more Republican since 2016. It moved a bit to the left in 2020 (10.29% to 7.44%; when adjusted for NPV - 12.38% to 11.89%), though I don't think it will move that far to the left. It's kind of hard to tell where it will go since its such a small district, though it should remain Likely Republican.
    • Predicted Margin: R+7-8
Likely Democrat States:
  • Virginia: This state has been moving to the left since 2008, especially between 2016 and 2020 (5.32% to 10.11%, 3.23% to 5.66% to the left of the nation) due to growth in the suburbs and opposition to Trump. Yes, Youngkin did win the governor's race, and many polls have Virginia looking competitive, but I don't buy that Trump will do much better here than in 2020. He may gain a bit, but northern Virginia should still remain fairly opposed to Trump.
    • Predicted Margin: D+9.5-10.5
  • New Mexico: After 2008, New Mexico has remained around 6-7% to the left of the national environment, being a Likely Blue state. Since 2020, many areas have seen a shift to the right among Hispanic voters, especially in Florida. While Hispanic voters aren't a monolith, Trump does seem to be making gains with this group across the board. As NM has a lot of Hispanic voters, this could lead to Trump making some gains in the state, though not enough to make it very competitive.
    • Predicted Margin: D+9.5-10
  • New Hampshire: Historically, New Hampshire has been rather elastic, and its voting patterns suggest a tendency to go against incumbents. But in 2020, things changed - NH went from D+0.37 to D+7.35 (1.72% to the right of the nation to 2.90% to the right of the nation). Furthermore, New Hampshire has a lot that makes it a bright spot for Biden (linked because that comment explained it better than I could, and I don't want to make this explanation too long). For those reasons, I expect Biden to improve on his performance in New Hampshire by quite a bit.
    • Predicted Margin: D+9-9.5
  • Maine: Like New Hampshire, although to a lesser extent, Maine became more competitive in 2016 (going to Clinton by 2.96%, 0.87% to the left of the nation). In 2020, though, Biden won Maine at large by 9.07% (and 4.62% to the left of the national environment). Unlike New Hampshire, I don't imagine this state moving to the left in 2024. It's a fairly rural state, and it isn't quite as socially liberal. I imagine it will move a bit to the right due to the growing urban/rural divide, though nowhere near enough for it to be Lean D.
    • Predicted Margin: D+8-8.5
  • Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District: As a very suburban district, Nebraska's 2nd District has been trending to the left fairly quickly since 2012 - R+7.15, R+2.24, and D+6.64 (national environment comparison - R+11.01, R+4.33, D+2.19). While redistricting has made NE-02 less blue (and made NE-01 bluer), the suburban district is still trending to the left, and that should be enough to make up for the redistricting.
    • Predicted Margin: D+6.5-7.5
  • Minnesota: Although Minnesota moved to the left in 2020 after being very close, similar to Maine and New Hampshire, it appears to be more likely to move right compared to those two states. Minnesota is very open to third parties, and those third parties tend to take votes away from Democrats. Third parties get a lot of votes in New Hampshire and Maine too, but their demographics are more favorable to Democrats (especially New Hampshire), while Minnesota has a large WWC population that Trump could pull from. While I doubt it will be Lean Democratic, it should be closer than in 2020.
    • Predicted Margin: D+5.5-6.5
Lean Republican States:
  • Texas: Since 2012, Texas has been moving to the left due to population growth and blue trends in suburbs and urban areas, giving Democrats hope that the state may be flippable in the near future. In 2020, though, the Rio Grande Valley, a traditionally Democratic area, shifted very far to the right. Most of the region is low in population, with the exception of Hidalgo County, the 8th largest in the state. While Democrats have a fair amount of obstacles in the state of Texas, I do think Democrats are likely to make at least some gains here. The RGV, and other rural areas, while shifting to the right, are losing population, while many highly populated areas (not just the Bexar, Travis, and Dallas counties, but many surrounding ones such as Collin, Denton, and Tarrant too) are growing in population. While I think the rural trends will slow down the leftward trend of Texas, I don't think it will be enough to stop them fully, let alone reverse them. But they won't move the state very far left, which is why I put it at the higher end of Lean Republican.
    • Predicted Margin: R+4-4.5
  • North Carolina: From 2012 to 2020, North Carolina has remained between 5.7 and 5.9 percent to the right of the national environment. The leftward urban trends and rural rightward trends appear to be cancelling each other out. Biden is capable of winning NC, particularly if things improve for him in the future (ex: Trump actually gets jailed), but right now, I see him doing better than Clinton did in 2016, and a bit worse than he did in 2020.
    • Predicted Margin: R+1.5-2
Lean Democrat States:
  • Michigan: I really don't buy the argument that Michigan will be the second bluest or reddest out of the rust belt trio (MI, WI, and PA). Yes, Biden could struggle with getting turnout from Arab Americans and college voters because of Gaza and other issues, but these populations don't make up as much of the state as people think. Furthermore, the suburbs are growing in population and trending more to the left. If Trump continues to lose ground in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Grand Traverse, or suburban Detroit, lowered turnout in Arab-American and college areas won't be enough to offset that. I'm hesitant to say Michigan will be bluer than it was in 2020, but I don't think it will be much redder either, especially since it was the only one of the trio to move to the left relative to the national environment (R+0.22 to D+2.78; R+2.31 to R+1.67 when adjusted for NPV).
    • Predicted Margin: D+2-3
  • Arizona: Even before the court decision on abortion came out not too long about, I've become more skeptical about Trump's chances to win Arizona. It's a state that has rejected Trump and his brand of Republicanism over the last several years - Mark Kelly won both the 2020 special senate election and his 2022 race, and Katie Hobbs overperformed polling to defeat Kari Lake, albeit narrowly. Furthermore, Maricopa and Pima are two counties that are not only trending left fairly quickly, but make up a massive chunk of the state. Combined, they make up 5,649,033 people, compared to the state's total population of 7,431,344 (76.02%). Also, Trump insulting McCain frequently hasn't helped him with traditional Republicans in the state. Trump can win Arizona, but I see this state being his worst swing state by far, besides (maybe) Michigan. Santa Cruz and Yuma are two areas I can see shifting right, but that's nowhere near enough to counter the shifts in Maricopa and Pima.
    • Predicted Margin: D+1.5-2.5
Tilt Republican States:
  • Wisconsin: This one was really hard to decide for me. On one hand, Democrats outperformed polling expectations in the 2022 Senate and Gubernatorial races. Democrats have also been gaining in the WOW counties (Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington), and they've been able to win Wisconsin in 3/4 of the non-Obama elections in the 21st century (albeit by less than 1% every time). Plus, polling suggests that this state is one of Biden's better options. On the other hand, Wisconsin polling really overestimated Biden, putting it to the left of Pennsylvania, and even Michigan. Plus, Trump has a lot of room to grow in rural areas (and while it went from R+0.77 to D+0.63, when adjusted for NPV, it trended right; R+1.32 to R+3.82). I'm very unsure how this state will go, and I can see an argument for it being Tilt either way. For now, I'm keeping it at Tilt Republican, though that could easily change in the next few months. Either way, I'd say that this is Trump's easiest state to flip.
    • Predicted Margin: R+0-0.5
Tilt Democrat States:
  • Georgia: Similarly to Arizona, many traditional conservatives are turning away from Trump. While Brian Kemp was able to win by a good margin, he's a decently popular incumbent who ran against a candidate who wasn't that strong (Stacey Abrams), survived a blue wave in 2018, and isn't a Trumpian Republican. I do think Biden will have some issues with minority voters, though that won't be enough for Trump to make up for Biden's huge gains in the suburbs and urban areas. Georgia trended left in 2020 even faster than Arizona (R+5.13 to D+0.23; R+7.24 to R+4.22 with NPV adjustment). Trump can definitely win here, but I can't see this being Trump's easiest state to flip.
    • Predicted Margin: D+0.5-1.5
  • Pennsylvania: The opposite of Georgia, Pennsylvania is one swing state that I see as rather overrated for Biden. Given that he barely got it over 1%, and that it trended to the right of the nation (R+0.72 to D+1.17; R+1.37 to R+3.28 with adjustments), and Trump's base of support is generally stronger in the Rust Belt than in the Sun Belt (which is part of why I'm skeptical of current polling that says the opposite), I don't think Biden will improve here overall. That said, Biden does have room to grow in the suburbs in southeastern Pennsylvania, and I think that should be enough to help him narrowly win the state and counteract Trump's growth in rural areas.
    • Predicted Margin: D+0.5-1
  • Nevada: In 2016 and 2020, Clinton and Biden both won Nevada by around 2.4% (meaning it trended right relative to the nation - D+0.33 to R+2.06). This state is kind of hard for me to decide. While it has arguably been moving to the right, partially due to Clarke County, Nevada polls underestimated Democrats in the Senate race for 2022, and it is a rather pro-choice state. Even Joe Lombardo, the GOP governor, signed pro-choice legislation. Plus, Catherine Cortez Masto's opponent was Adam Laxalt, a Trumpian candidate who supported the election fraud claims. This could indicate that, like Arizona, Trump would be in trouble. However, Masto barely won the Senate election. While Biden could do better than anticipated, I see this race as being one of the closest for 2024, albeit narrowly favoring Biden at the moment.
    • Predicted Margin: D+0-1
The states I'm the most shaky on are Wisconsin and Nevada. While I have an opinion on which candidate they tilt towards, it was very hard to decide whether I should change them from my May prediction, especially with the recent conviction.
Should Trump receive jail time for this case, I imagine that my prediction could change substantially among the seven battlegrounds (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin). For now, though, this is what I expect - Biden improves over the next several months and outperforms polling expectations somewhat, having the same incumbency boost that Bush, Obama, and Trump all got (though to a lesser extent than those three, as Trump was the previous incumbent).

🔗Steambow AR-6 Stinger II Tactical Crossbow - High-Performance Hunting Accessory


https://preview.redd.it/zys75ipht34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b802f5e0aefebba3996bff911061419aefbb4b0f
The Steambow AR-6 Stinger II Tactical has definitely made an impact in my daily life. The first thing that caught my attention was its sleek design. The impact-resistant polymer construction is not only durable but also UV-resistant, which is a great feature for outdoor use. The length-adjustable AR-style buttstock along with the standard buffer tube provides a comfortable grip.
One of the standout features for me was the maximum velocity of up to 220 FPS and a maximum energy of up to 15.2 FPE. I could really feel the power behind each shot! The ridged and textured pistol grip made holding it steady during use much easier.
However, there were a couple of drawbacks. The instructions booklet was virtually useless, and I had to rely on a video to assemble it. Additionally, the shims were quite frustrating. Despite these small setbacks, the crossbow performed well and was a lot of fun to use. Overall, I'd recommend this to someone looking for an affordable and powerful crossbow.

🔗Affordable Compact Crossbow for Various Uses


https://preview.redd.it/rb8nmmxht34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60c3b88bc2697330eb35f4ac873e9455022f0869
The AR-6 Stinger II Compact Crossbow Black 414, a compact and versatile crossbow that has become a staple in my outdoor adventures. Its ease of use and portability have made it a go-to choice for a variety of activities.
The draw weight of 35 pounds ensures a sturdy and reliable shot, while its compact design makes it perfect for hunting in tight spaces or carrying during longer excursions. However, despite its strong points, I've noticed that it can be quite noisy, which might be a concern for those in more sensitive shooting environments. Overall, the AR-6 Stinger II Compact Crossbow Black 414 strikes a balance between performance and convenience, making it a worthwhile investment for hunting enthusiasts on a budget.

🔗High-Performance Acudraw Crossbow for Hunters


https://preview.redd.it/8qfszpmit34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6c3449efc49913aa0e26406b88e3d3748e0f5ae
I recently discovered the Wicked Ridge RDX 400 Acudraw crossbow, and I must say, it has completely changed my perceptions about crossbows. The RDX 400 is a beautiful balance of speed, accuracy, and affordability. It has a power stroke of 15.5 inches and can shoot up to 400 feet per second. The perfectly balanced reverse-draw design utilizes the full power stroke for lightning-fast speeds and consistent down-range accuracy.
I love the ACUdraw Pro feature, making cocking a breeze. The included mounted scope, quiver, and arrows deliver a complete package, perfect for both beginners and experienced hunters alike. The compact size of the crossbow (only 9 inches wide) adds to its ease of use and portability.
However, there have been a couple of small drawbacks in my experience. The first is the width options of 9 and 15 inches—the 9-inch width is too narrow for a complete cocking device, so I found myself using the cocking rope more often than not. Secondly, the string serving broke after just 20-25 shots, which was quite disappointing.
Despite these minor issues, the Wicked Ridge RDX 400 Acudraw crossbow has proven to be a reliable, fast, and accurate hunting companion. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to experience the thrill of crossbow hunting without breaking the bank.

🔗Wicked Ridge RDX 410 Reverse-Draw Crossbow with ACUdraw Silent and Pro-View 400 Scope


https://preview.redd.it/l31jm2vit34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d8c29572a591ac487525e492f21428c5f6c76bd
As a reviewer who has been using the Wicked Ridge RDX 410 Crossbow in their daily life, I've had the opportunity to explore its features and experience the benefits it offers. One of the highlights for me has been the ease of use and cocking with the ACUdraw Silent, a feature that allows for silent cocking and reduces the draw weight significantly.
The reversed-draw design provides a smoother shot and better balance for increased accuracy, making it a top choice among other crossbows in the market. The state-of-the-art Pro-View 400 Scope comes with aimpoints out to 70 yards and an updated reticle for improved down-range accuracy.
However, one downside I've noticed is the occasional noise and vibration, which may be addressed by some users with the integrated String Stop System. While the crossbow is a great value, some reviewers have faced issues with the warranty and customer support, which could be essential for future purchases or repeat customers.
Overall, despite the minor drawbacks, the Wicked Ridge RDX 410 Crossbow is a superior choice for those looking to experience the thrill of crossbow hunting with ease and accuracy in their arsenal.

Using the Bear x Desire XL Pistol Crossbow has been an exciting adventure in my backyard. The compact design of this pistol crossbow makes it easy to store and transport, yet it's powerful and accurate. The self-cocking arm and forearm grip are perfect for beginners like me, and the adjustable stock allows for comfort and increased stability while shooting. The velocity of 175 FPS makes target practice enjoyable and the 60-pound draw weight provides a challenge without being too overwhelming.
However, there are a couple of drawbacks to this pistol crossbow. The supplied aluminum bolts with plastic push-in fletchings are prone to breaking upon impact with firm surfaces, and the cocking stock latch tends to break almost immediately. These issues are frustrating, but they do not significantly detract from the overall performance of the pistol crossbow.
In conclusion, the Bear x Desire XL Pistol Crossbow offers a fun and user-friendly shooting experience for beginners and enthusiasts alike. Its adjustable stock, compact design, and powerful velocity make it an excellent choice for backyard target practice. However, the flimsy bolts and faulty latch might require replacement over time.

I recently had the chance to try out the Wicked Ridge Invader M1 crossbow, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. As a beginner with crossbow hunting, this product was an excellent addition to my gear. The built-in ACUdraw crank cocking device proved to be a game-changer, significantly reducing the draw weight and making cocking a breeze.
One of the standout features was the 70-yard Pro-View 400 scope, which offered impressive aimpoints and a cleaner view for improved accuracy. The scope's updated reticle made a noticeable difference when taking shots at various distances. Additionally, the crossbow's pre-sighting at 20 yards gave me confidence that it would perform well on the hunt.
The fact that this crossbow is built in the United States was a nice touch, and the craftsmanship was evident upon handling the device. The inclusion of a Pro-View 400 scope, 3 Match 400 arrows, and a 3-arrow quiver made the package even more appealing.
However, there were a couple of downsides I encountered during my experience. Firstly, the compact size of the crossbow made it slightly uncomfortable for me to carry and handle for extended periods. Additionally, the weight of the crossbow was a bit heavier than expected, making it challenging for me to carry it around for hours in the field.
Despite these minor drawbacks, the Wicked Ridge Invader M1 crossbow proved to be a reliable and efficient hunting companion. The combination of features and performance made it a valuable addition to my gear, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their crossbow or start their hunting journey.

🔗Tenpoint Titan M1 ACUdraw Crossbow Package with Rope Sled and Accessories


https://preview.redd.it/56d9ssdkt34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=430c4bb0f0d13df88866dd82c411ec7bdb1bab3c
As a crossbow enthusiast, I've had the chance to try out the TenPoint Titan M1 Crossbow Package with its Rope Sled. When I first opened the package, I was impressed by the high-quality construction with its CNC-machined aircraft-grade aluminum material. It was lightweight yet sturdy, and the compact design made it easy to carry during my hunting trips.
One of the standout features for me was the ACUdraw De-Cock system. It made taking off the safety a breeze, allowing me to quickly and safely aim at my target. However, at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed with the trigger. It wasn't as smooth as I expected, and it required quite a bit of effort to pull back.
Shooting with the TenPoint Titan M1 was a breeze, thanks to the powerful stroke and elongated inverted VX-5 cams. I was able to achieve pin-point accuracy and devastating speeds, and the included TenPoint 3x Pro-View 3 Scope made sighting in my targets a cinch.
The inclusion of the optional Rope-sled and ACUdraw cocking system made this package versatile and allowed me to choose which one suited my shooting style better. Although the stock itself could have been better, I was happy with the overall durability and performance of this crossbow.
In conclusion, the TenPoint Titan M1 Crossbow Package with Rope Sled is an impressive and powerful crossbow that can truly make a difference on your hunting trips. Despite some minor hiccups like the rough trigger and the stock, it has been an excellent addition to my outdoor gear.

🔗Revolutionary Crossbow with Advanced Technology and Unmatched Accuracy

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the TRX 515 crossbow from TenPoint, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. One of my favorite features was the reverse-draw design, which added a level of smoothness to the shot that I had never experienced before. It was also incredibly accurate, thanks to the twin-riser technology that reduced the riser flex and limb torq.
However, it did have a bit of a tricky cocking mechanism, as I had to make sure to use the patented ACU-slide Maxx system for silent and safe de-cocking. It definitely took a bit of practice to get used to, but once I got the hang of it, it was a great feature. I also appreciated the ambidextrous thumb safety, which allowed me to keep both hands on the crossbow and maintain my focus on the target.

🔗Tenpoint Titan M1 Crossbow: Fast and Powerful Hunting Companion


https://preview.redd.it/r803ot5lt34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a12008c4c0679a7b27b3dd9513fa401683956db
I recently got my hands on the Tenpoint Titan M1 ACUdraw Crossbow and let me tell you, it's quite the experience. I've been crossbow hunting for a while now, so I was eager to see how this one would perform.
The first thing that stood out to me was the size of the crossbow. It's compact and easy to maneuver, making it perfect for those tight hunting spots. I especially loved the narrow width, which made it less hassle to carry around in the woods.
A feature that I enjoyed was the speed at which the crossbow shoots. It's capable of shooting arrows at an impressive 370 FPS, making it one of the faster models I've tried. The T5 trigger with its smooth pull and crisp break was a game-changer, making each shot feel more precise and controlled.
However, one area where the Titan M1 fell short was the durability. I experienced issues with the bowstring, which frayed and snapped after a few hundred shots. I reached out to the customer service team, and they were quick to help, but it was still an inconvenience.
In conclusion, the Tenpoint Titan M1 ACUdraw Crossbow is a good addition to any crossbow collection. With its high speed and compact design, it's sure to make your hunting experience a breeze. But be warned, there might be some durability issues that you'll need to keep an eye on. Overall, I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

I've had the chance to test out the Tenpoint ACUdraw Pro, and I must say, it has both its pros and cons. On one hand, the product is incredibly quiet, making it perfect for those who prefer hunting without any distractions. Additionally, I love how the ACUdraw Pro is fully integrated into the stock, making it a seamless and sleek addition to my crossbow.
However, there have been a few areas where I experienced some issues. For example, I found that the handle fitting was a bit off, making it difficult to fully utilize the product. Plus, I noticed that the crossbow took a bit longer to cock with the ACUdraw Pro compared to without it.
Overall, I've enjoyed using the Tenpoint ACUdraw Pro, but I believe there's definitely room for improvement. With a few adjustments and tweaks, this could become a fantastic addition to any crossbow enthusiast's arsenal.

I recently had the chance to try out the Wicked Ridge Rampage XS ACUdraw Crossbow, and I must say, it's a game-changer. As an avid hunter, the first thing that caught my eye was the ACUdraw system, which allows you to silently cock and safely de-cock with minimal effort. Not only does it save time, but it also adds a level of stealth to your hunting experience.
One of the highlights of this crossbow is its incredibly lightweight design, weighing in at just 6.5 pounds. It's perfect for those long days in the woods when every ounce counts. Additionally, the 31.5" length, 390 FPS speed, and 5.8 total pounds provide the power, accuracy, and maneuverability you need for a successful hunt.

I've been using the Wicked Ridge Commander M1 Crossbow for some time now, and let me tell you, it's a real game-changer. Despite its budget-friendly price tag, this crossbow punches well above its weight.
The ACUdraw cocking device is a dream to use, making the cocking process a breeze. The 4x multi-line scope offers accurate aiming up to 50 yards, and the fully coated optics are a massive plus. However, I must admit, the draw weight could be lighter for beginners.
All in all, the Commander M1 is a reliable and affordable choice for hunters and archers alike, offering the perfect balance of power and precision.

🔗Wicked Ridge Invader 400 Crossbow with ACUdraw 50 Cocking Device


https://preview.redd.it/ubtxgckmt34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6155de7ba4255e8c8c90eee4bcb183b64c413102
Last fall, I took up crossbow hunting as a new hobby. I had been researching for months, reading reviews, and comparing different brands. From all the options available, the Wicked Ridge Invader 400 seemed to stand out. Here's my honest review of my experience and the features that really made a difference in my hunting journey.
The first thing I noticed about the Invader 400 was its amazing accuracy. With its fully adjustable Pro-View scope and 3-arrow instant-detach quiver, I was able to hit my targets with incredible precision. This feature was especially useful for my first hunting trip, where a close-range shot was crucial.
In terms of safety, the ACUdraw 50 cocking system made the crossbow feel much more secure when I was preparing to shoot. It was also very easy to handle, even after a long day of hunting, thanks to its lightweight design. However, there were instances where the cocking rod did feel a bit rough on my hand, which caused some discomfort after several shots.
One of the features that I appreciated the most about the Invader 400 was the quiet operation. In the forest, sound can be more important than you may think. Not having my target spooked away is crucial, and this crossbow performed exceptionally well in that regard. That said, the quiet operation did come at the cost of a slight reduction in power compared to some other models on the market.
A few downsides that I encountered during my time with the Invader 400 were the lack of a built-in string stopper and the absence of any kind of noise-reducing mechanisms in the crossbow itself. The lack of a string stopper made for a more dangerous experience, especially when loading and unloading arrows. And while I appreciated the quiet operation, it would have been great if the designers could have found a way to maintain that while still providing a little more power.
Overall, my experience with the Wicked Ridge Invader 400 was mostly positive. It was an excellent crossbow for a beginner like myself, and its accuracy and powerful shots made my hunting trips more successful. There are some features I wish it had, such as built-in noise reduction and a fully adjustable sight, but it certainly gets the job done well for the price point.

🔗Wicked Ridge M-370 ACUdraw Lightweight Crossbow - Multi-Line Scope and 3 Arrow Quiver


https://preview.redd.it/jp6cs96nt34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=731873d6e5d3e922a7fa1612c92b306f5bc0661c
As an avid hunter, I was intrigued by the Wicked Ridge M-370 ACUdraw Crossbow. Its lightweight build and sleek design caught my eye from the start. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed a couple of hiccups with the product.
Firstly, the AcuDraw cocking device was quite tricky to use, requiring some extra effort and attention to avoid making mistakes. While I eventually got the hang of it, I couldn't help feeling a bit frustrated with the initial learning curve.
On the bright side, the crossbow itself was impressive in terms of accuracy and power, with the built-in scope providing a clear and precise view of the target. The lightweight nature made it an easy carry in the field, and the foot stirrup, while small, did the job when needed.
However, there were a couple of downsides I encountered. The scope, while functional, felt a tad flimsy and its dial-in system was somewhat unreliable. Additionally, the foot stirrup, while compact, wasn't the easiest to use, especially for those with larger shoes.
Overall, the Wicked Ridge M-370 ACUdraw Crossbow seems like a promising option for hunters in search of a lightweight, powerful weapon. With a few tweaks to address the minor issues, this crossbow could be a great addition to any gear arsenal.

Buyer's Guide

Welcome to the Acudraw Crossbow Buyer's Guide. In this section, we will discuss important features, considerations, and general advice that can help you make an informed decision when purchasing an Acudraw crossbow. With a wide variety of options available on the market, understanding the specific requirements and features of an Acudraw crossbow can help you find the perfect one for your needs.

Power Stroke Distance


https://preview.redd.it/kr1j5ayqt34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=018cf3cfb6308ffc7f87d884d1bf796a0a1b7b6f
The power stroke distance is one of the primary factors that determine the performance of an Acudraw crossbow. It is the distance the bow limb moves during the draw cycle. Generally, a longer power stroke distance leads to higher speed and kinetic energy, which results in better accuracy and penetration. Look for a crossbow with a power stroke distance of at least 10 inches for optimal performance.

Draw Weight

Draw weight is the force required to pull the crossbow back to its full draw. Higher draw weight means a stronger and more powerful crossbow. However, it may also require more effort to cock the crossbow. Consider your physical strength and hunting requirements when selecting a draw weight. A good starting point for most hunters is between 150-200 pounds. If you are considering a youth model, look for a lower draw weight, typically around 100-125 pounds.

Speed

The speed of an Acudraw crossbow is measured in feet per second (fps) and affects its shooting range and accuracy. A higher speed crossbow will generally have a greater range and better accuracy. Aim for a minimum speed of 250 fps, as it can provide an ideal balance between power and speed. For a more advanced crossbow, look for models with a speed exceeding 300 fps.

Noise and Vibration

Crossbows can be noisy and produce vibrations that can affect the shooter's aim and accuracy. To minimize noise and vibration, look for crossbows with built-in noise dampening and vibration reduction features, such as rubber dampeners or recoil dampening systems. These features will help improve your shooting experience and reduce fatigue.

Practical Considerations

  • Length: Opt for a crossbow with a comfortable length that suits your height and reach. Ideally, the butt plate should rest comfortably against your shoulder when drawing the bow.
  • Weight: Consider the weight of the crossbow, especially for hunting. A lightweight crossbow is easier to carry during extended hunts, but it may also be less stable and require more control.
  • Safety: Look for features such as a manual safety, an automatic safety that engages when the bow is cocked, and string dampers to help prevent accidental discharges.
  • Scope: Choose a crossbow with a quality scope that offers a clear sight picture and adequate magnification for the desired shooting range.

Maintenance and Care

Caring for your Acudraw crossbow is essential to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Regular maintenance includes cleaning and lubricating the crossbow after each use, inspecting the strings and cables for wear, and maintaining the scope properly. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines to keep your crossbow in top condition.
Selecting the perfect Acudraw crossbow requires considering several factors, such as power stroke distance, draw weight, speed, noise and vibration reduction, and practical considerations like length, weight, safety, and maintenance. By taking these elements into account, you can find an Acudraw crossbow that meets your specific needs and provides an enjoyable and successful hunting experience.

2024.06.02 08:41 flubb98 Toxic parents never change

To preface, I am a 26 year old female, alot of the events that I'm going to talk about occurred when I was a child, some will be more recent, but as I keep low to no contact with my parents now, there wouldn't be much to tell.
As far back as I can remember, my mom would say and do things that made me feel like I wasn't as important as my brother(s). Before my younger brother (22M) was born, if my older brother (29M) broke or damaged something, he'd blame it on me. She always believed him. Sometimes he'd pinch himself, run to our mom crying and say that I pinched him for no reason and I'd end up getting punished. If he wanted to use the PS1 (for those who remember that) and I was using it, I'd be forced to get off so he could have a turn, regardless of how little time I had been using it. The same applied to the family computer. Anything he wanted, he got.
After my little brother came into the picture I assumed my older brother would be forced to share the game systems, computer, toys etc. But I was mistaken. Instead, my mom began to spoil them both, giving them whatever they asked for. Citing their recent autism diagnosis as the reason for the special treatment. "You're the only normal one, you have to compromise on these things for your brothers because they're special." "You have to be mature and responsible because they can't." Were essentially the messages I was fed for years.
I was often the one left in charge if my parents went out, not my older brother. If I wasn't in charge, they would have our oldest brother, (32M) who was adopted by our maternal grandparents, my mom's parents, watch us. Unfortunately, he was also spoiled rotten, but by my grandparents in an attempt to make up for the fact that my mom didn't raise him. Which only fueled my older brother's need for the latest and greatest toys/games at the time. So they got into arguments all the time and I'd end up being the mediatoone in charge regardless. I always had to keep a close eye on my little brother regardless of who was left in charge also, he's not as self sufficient as my older brother and lacked the understanding that most kids his age had, so he needed constant supervision or else he'd end up getting hurt. Which happened a few times, but surprisingly only while my parents were the ones watching him.
When I was 10, my dad lost his job after a seizure (he's an epileptic) caused him to slam his face into a coffee table. He wasn't able to immediately return to work due to the damage, and was fired as a result. We were then evicted from our apartment and were forced to move in with my maternal grandmother. My grandfather had passed a few years prior so it was just her, my uncle and my oldest brother living in the house at the time. My grandmother didn't want us there, to put it simply. My uncle is the one who kept bothering her about how my mom was going to lose custody of us if we didn't have somewhere to go, and she eventually caved. But she wasn't discreet about how little she enjoyed having us there.
At 13, we were still living with my grandmother, my dad had gotten a new job and I finally got a cell phone. Not my own, but my Dad shared his with me after he'd get off work. So from the hours of 4pm to 10pm, I was a regular teen with a phone, which felt nice. One day, I had to text a friend about something related to school, so I asked my mom if I could borrow her phone to text this friend. As I was getting the info on the assignment that I needed, a text came across the screen. It was from my mom's ex Jay. Jay was the father of my two older brothers, (29M & 32M) he was also physically abusive towards my mom when they were together. I admit I shouldn't have gone through her messages, but as far as our entire family was aware, Jay wanted nothing to do with my mom or my brothers, so I was curious as to why/how my mom had his number saved, let alone why they were speaking. To my horror, my mom was flirting with and sending very explicitly worded messages about how much she wanted him and how terrible my dad was. I'll admit, neither of my parents were perfect, my mom had her favoritism of my brothers, while my dad was verbally and physically abusive towards me and my older brother, but never my little brother. My dad also cheated on my mom with a coworker shortly after I was born. Which my mom made common knowledge to us kids by the time I was 7. So our relationship as a family, was tumultuous to say the least. Nevertheless, I brought the texts to my dad, who then confronted my mom. I mean, I was a kid, I had no idea how to navigate that. So I brought it to an adult, as I thought I was supposed to. But boy, I had no idea that things would turn they way they did. My mom essentially told my dad, who barely understands technology, that the texts he thought she sent, her ex sent and that I was just trying to break them up because I hate her. He believed her. This affected me for years because she'd always use it as leverage to accuse me of lying. "Well you lied about those texts, so obviously you'd lie about this too!" I was branded a liar and to this day, despite her admitting that she was lying back then, everyone in my family just sees me as a melodramatic liar and I've come to accept that will probably never change.
At 14, one of my best friends died in a train accident. I wasn't allowed to go to his funeral because my parents had booked a vacation to see my dad's family. My parents knew that telling me no before we left would result in me sneaking out and going to the funeral anyway, so they lied to me, saying that they'd think about it and let me know in the morning before we'd leave, saying it with that tone they use when you know they're going to say yes just to make me think I'd be able to go to the funeral and avoid having to look for me. They've admitted to all of this which is even more chilling to me. The next morning, they'd already packed my luggage in the car by the time I had woken up. My dad sat down and told me in no uncertain terms that I was not going to the funeral and that I was going with them, regardless of what I thought or did. I kicked, screamed, cried, bit, everything I could possibly do to get my dad to put me down. But in the end he turned on the child safety locks and he threw me in the car with my younger brother, we left and spent 3 days with my dad's family. All the while I was made fun of and mocked for crying constantly on what was "supposed to be" a happy vacation according to my parents. My older brother didn't want to go, so he didn't have to. But apparently that only applied to him. To this day I still haven't forgiven them for that.
At 15, I was kicked out of my grandmothers house, and only my dad was against it. But in the end, I had to go live with my boyfriend because I had nowhere else to go and nothing my dad said changed the minds of my mom or grandmother. Until I turned 18, my mom would get me $100 in groceries a month, to keep me alive. (I think she was just afraid I'd report her for abandonment if she didn't atleast feed me) Even then, she would say that she couldn't afford the $100 sometimes and I'd have to get a month of food out of $50 or less.
At 18, I became pregnant. My dad was very unhappy. I had my first born and I thought we were on the road to mending our relationship.
At 21, my parents invited me and my child to their house for dinner, they also invited my boyfriend but he was unable to join us because he was tired from work, but these dinners had become a regular occurrence at this point. Unfortunately, my older brother (29M) still lives at home with them and my younger brother, so I was forced to interact with him. He ended up saying something like "Mom and Dad only put up with you because they want to see your kid." It struck a nerve with me, because it had already felt that way to me for awhile, and my parents were right there, but didn't deny what he said and I started to cry. I excused myself outside but I wasn't calming down.
For some context, back when I lived at my grandmother's house, I had regular breakdowns. My parents were constantly yelling at me or hitting me for one thing or another. I didn't have a room or a bed back then, I slept on the couch in the living room from the ages of 10-15. So when my dad would go off, he'd repeatedly slam me down into whatever surface was in the room if I tried to get up or leave the room we were in. So the couch if it was the living room, my parents bed if we were arguing in their room, etc. My mom never stopped this. Sometimes it would go on for hours, and it'd get to the point where I'd either freak out and get physical with my dad or I would start to rip out my hair and beg him to leave me alone. I was regularly laughed at by my mom or older brother and called dramatic for reacting that way during these screaming sessions.
But in that moment l, as I was crying outside, I felt like that kid again. I was small and meaningless. I wanted to go home. So I collected myself as best I could and walked inside, grabbing my son as I walked up to my parents at the dining table. I told my mom that I was sorry, but we're going home. She got as far as saying, "But we're about to have di- ." before my dad began to scream at me like I had never heard him scream before. My mom took my son into another room as soon as she saw that I was caught off guard by my dad's outburst, and locked him in my uncles bedroom. For over an hour my dad berrated me, as I could hear my son wailing for me from the other room. He kept pushing me and getting in my face, not letting me leave the dining room, he almost slapped me but for whatever reason, didn't. My mom and older brother, just like when I was a kid, stood there and laughed at my reactions. Eventually, he stopped because I said something that made him really mad, so he charged outside and left. My uncle came out of his room with my son soon after and he drove us home. I sent them a long message afterwards stating that I'm going no contact. That lasted about three years, and we've since reconnected in the past 2 years, my dad hasn't pulled anything like that, seemingly because he knows I'm serious when I say I will never speak to them again. My mom on the other hand is back on the "she's out to get me" "she hates me" train again. Anytime I ask her something, even simple yes or no questions, she sends me a novel detailing her yes or no answer. If she's saying no, she always phrases things like I'm this unhinged person who goes crazy over being told no and that she's just an innocent victim to my rage? Which is funny because regardless of what her answer is my response is always "Okay." Or "Okay, thank you." And any question is prefaced heavily with "You really don't have to if you don't want to." "It's totally fine if you cant." "It's fine if you say no, I can figure out something else if need be." I don't want to be a burden and I don't like exerting more energy than absolutely necessary, so I have no reason to try to argue with her. It's gotten to the point where we have so little contact, she has to blow up small misunderstandings that happen when we do converse. My uncle sent me a screenshot from my mom to him, which was her saying I needed to do something, I honestly don't remember what. But whatever it was, apparently my dad and my uncle were the ones who wanted me to know that, not her. Which honestly doesn't matter either way to me. But I guess she took whatever I said in response as an attack despite only saying okay or alright as a response, and I had to deal with her and my dad spamming my phone in the middle of the night trying to make this literal non issue, an issue. So I ended up replying that I have no idea why or how this had devolved into what it did, but I have nothing to do with this, and to stop messaging me about it. Surprisingly they did. Finally the most recent thing was that I had talked to my parents, in front of everyone at their house, including my boyfriend and our kids. I told them I wanted to start looking for a job and was wondering if they'd be willing to watch my now two kids for a couple of hours on some of the days that I work, just until we save enough for the down payment at a daycare for them. My main driver for this was that my mom and dad had been pushing for my kids to stay ovespend time with them so i figured if we could do that while I also work that'd really help. Nowhere in my mind do I think I am entitled to my parents help, I just thought that if they were pushing to spend time with them, that this was a perfect opportunity to do so. My parents agreed initially, but when I called them to make plans about it because I had an interview lined up, my mom said she never agreed to anything like that and that she "wasn't going to raise my kids for me." In the end, it wasn't worth an argument and I just said that she could have just said no the first time I brought it up, and I would have just started looking at alternatives for childcare. Pulling this hurtful stunt was unnecessary and cruel. And we haven't spoken much since.
Honestly I doubt they'll ever actually change, which is why I keep them at an arms length. Sorry for the rant, I just needed somewhere to put all of this.

Down dating app review - is Down legit.. Or a TOTAL SCAM?
https://preview.redd.it/4wxq14p7t34d1.jpg?width=1399&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2471db08f3983dcca6a67b57ceda94fa7e941629
Welcome to the Down dating app, where you're supposed to swipe your way to love or a casual fling, but you might end up swiping your patience away instead. Let's dive into why the Down app might not be your best bet for finding romance or a quick hookup. In this scam dating site guide, we're going to explore why Down might leave you feeling, well, down.
For those who don't want to read the entire guide, a much better alternative to Down is Ashley Madison. Unlike Down, Ashley Madison actually has millions of members and doesn't use shady tactics to scam you. Check it out here.

Scam 1: Unresponsive User Base

One of the most significant issues with Down is its inactive user base. Many users report that despite the app's simple and appealing interface, getting matches is nearly impossible. You can swipe up or down all you want, but if no one is actively using the app, you're not going to get any responses. This makes the whole experience feel like a ghost town.

Scam 2: Limited Free Features

While Down is marketed as a free app, the reality is that the free version is extremely limited. You're restricted to seeing only 10 profiles per day, which drastically reduces your chances of finding a match. To unlock more features, such as unlimited profiles and seeing who liked you, you need to pay for the premium membership, which can feel like a rip-off considering the lack of active users​.

Scam 3: Glitchy Features

Users often complain about glitches in the messaging and photo verification features. These technical issues can make an already frustrating experience even worse. If you can't reliably send messages or verify profiles, it undermines the app's functionality and your confidence in using it​.

Scam 4: Poor Match Sorting

Another common complaint is that Down doesn't allow you to sort matches based on distance effectively. While the app may show that a match is nearby, it could actually be over 100 miles away. This lack of precision can be incredibly frustrating, especially if you're looking for local connections.

Scam 5: Misleading Premium Features

Down offers a range of premium features, but many users feel they don't deliver on their promises. For example, paying for a profile boost or a subscription that promises more matches often results in minimal improvement. It's like paying for a fast lane only to find out there's still a traffic jam.

Scam 6: Expensive Subscription Model

The cost of Down's premium membership is another sore point. At $19.99 per month, it’s not cheap, and given the app's other shortcomings, it can feel like you're throwing money into a black hole. Many users find the price unjustifiable given the low success rate in finding matches.

Overall Verdict and Recommendation

Down might not be a scam in the traditional sense, but it certainly feels like one given its inactive user base, limited free features, glitchy functionality, poor match sorting, misleading premium features, and high subscription costs. If you're looking for a legit hookup app, try Ashley Madison.
Ashley Madison has millions of real members, no shady bot tactics, and an upfront and clear cost of membership. People have been using it for years for hookups. You can get a free trial for Ashley Madison using the link on this page.
Good luck, and may your swipes lead to something more fulfilling!

2024.06.02 08:37 AwayReplacement7063 Laid off, no insurance, now I think I have strep throat

Pretty much what the title says. I was laid off a month back and now just am starting my new job in a week. I don’t have any insurance because of the gap in employment, and am so strapped for money I barely have enough for food.
I just noticed white spots in my mouth near my throat, and my throat has been sore the last few days. Honestly I thought it was because I was just getting over a cold but the more I look the more I think it’s strep throat. I’m not showing many other symptoms other than my throat being irritated and red/white spots.
Now because I lack insurance, and have practically no money, I was wondering what I could do to help kick this at home? If I do need to go to get antibiotics to kick this, I was also wondering if anyone had any advice on the cheapest clinic possible or any tips and tricks. I wanted to do telehelp, but I realized I can’t get diagnosed with strep virtually.
Thank you for any advice! I’m in Michigan if that matters.

2024.06.02 08:37 Daeggscellent Tip baited 🤬

Tip baited 🤬
Within 5 mins of arriving to the resturant and actually having a patience about me today and within 7 mons of receiving the order itself, this bitch messages me (see screenshot above). I'm literally shocked I'm thinking to myself, I've got me a Karen on the line who is already staging her tip bait plan. I even showed the employee of the Popeyes I was at who was waiting on me. Both of us agreeing like "wtf do you want me to do, I'm waiting on your fat, greasy, diabetic food to fry you fucking slob, shove a banana down your throat to calm the cravings for christ sake. Really, I debated responding to her first message with either: well you can wait a lot longer now you impatient bitch, because I'm canceling your order in about 20 mins, so from that time, you can then go through the whole process again. Or: just taking the food to her house and slamming the order on her driveway and message her to get out here and start slopping it up before it gets cold. But I did nor said neither of those things, I responded politely and patiently to try and salvage the order, knowing she was looking for any reason to tip bait. Obviously I'm the idiot here for continuing with her. I did recieve another order while waiting on her food, which actually was ready before her food. But I made the mistake of mentioning that to her and having her think I was waiting on that order already having her food, which wasn't the case and I explained that. She Saif she paid for priority delivery, which I've never ordered from the app and never in my lifetime for any reason will I so I don't know if that's even true that she could do that, I would think as drivers we would know, so I assume she was bullshitting me, but I was still polite and said that Uber will stack orders on regardless of what the customer pays for because it's more money for them and then the customer being unhappy punishes us the drivers for their greed. She clearly didn't read what I wrote, and was sticking to her script of confrontation in order to have a reason to justify her cheap ass tip baiting and cussed at me saying she tipped 20%. (She baited me with a 20% tip and I guarantee she's never tipped 10% in her entire low ass meaningless life). I knew at that point she wasn't tipping, but she was only 1.5 miles away and in the same neighborhood as the other delivery, the 2 trips together were worth it without her tip, but that doesn't excuse the fact that I would have NEVER accepted her order without the tip, and that's my complaint to Uber, along with how they intentionally fuck us drivers time and time again with giving these cheap, evil whore customers an hour after stuffing their obese, lard ass unattractive, grease oozing faces to change their tip. No one is ever going to say "yum, that was delicious and expensive, I think I'll pay more for it now that it's an hour later". If someone plans to tip more, they'll do it within 10 mins of recieving their food once they see that all their food is their, hot and on time. Her food was their on time according to the app, it was piping hot and fresh as I carry all my food in oven bags (2 bags that can hold up to 3 large pizzas worth of food each) and all her food was there! So she, not only had no intentions on tipping me as the order said she would, but she also ruined my evening by bas8degrading me, insulting me and my kindness. Honestly I wish her the worst in life because she doesn't even enjoy that. Her name is LAURA V. She lives in Buford GA off of Buford Hwy. She has a black cat.

2024.06.02 08:31 RagefulShrimp Constantly mentally tired after covid 3 years ago. Neurologists and psychiatrists find nothing and sending to each other

30M,173cm,64kg,W. In may 2021 I had a 10 day period of fever 39.5 degrees with other symptoms such as severe headache(more than usual when I have high temp), particles in urine and itchiness in urethra after urination, added weird odor to both gases from colon and from mouth(took 2 years to disappear). After the illness I had a period of muscle weakness for about a month. Also I had issues with severe decrease in bowel movement which took more than 2 years to heal(things become much better after I've started eating white rice). Although it was not confirmed but it's likely that I had a covid19.
After a month and a half I felt like I've almost recovered but some symptoms remained which I expected to just disappear over a longer period of time but they did not. At first I just stopped feeling well rested after waking up and I couldn't get energized from anything like music or sports. I've started quickly getting mentally exhausted from any activity. Right now after 3 years I can't even look straight when walking because processing that amount of visual information is already too exhausting for me. I have to look at the ground to not waste my mental energy when walking outside. Before the easiest and the most enjoyable things for me were reading and playing games which I could do for days or weeks almost ignoring sleep and eating but now even 30 minutes of playing video games could feel like previous 9 hours of office work.
Before this issue I was very healthy and still don't feel physically anything wrong. Did some sports, eat only healthy boiled food, mostly grains and eggs/meat. Never consumed any harmful substances like alcohol or drugs. Don't have any phycological issues. I have a decent family, no reason being stressed, accept myself for who I am and even if I'm not doing my best - I'm having fun with my life and it is all I care about.
I did brain MRI, encephalogram, neck vessels ultrasound which showed venous insufficiency which does not explain the symptoms, blood(general, hepatitis, ferritin, thyroid functions), urine tests.
In December 2023 neurologist assumed I have a depression and prescribed escitalopram. I took 5mg for 24 days with no positive results. But it helped me realize that I at least don't have the kind of depression that this drug induced. It completely cut off my concept of having fun reading a book. I stopped being able to understand this. And it made everything else felt much more bland till I've stopped taking the drug. I feel everything the same way I felt before the illness and I can enjoy everything I could before but I'm just constantly very tired with nothing being able to alleviate this.
In February 2024 I visited a psychiatrist as previous neurologist advised and after some talk no mental disorders or other issues were discovered. Got advised to check in with neurologist and received a prescription for emoxypine 250mg/day, idebenone 60mg/day and sulpiride 100mg 2 times/day. After 24 days of taking this stuff also got zero improvement.
Other drugs and vitamins I've taken over the period of 3 years with no short of long term improvement for the main symptoms: B1+3+6+9+12, D, Iron, Mg, Zinc, Ca, potassium iodide Ginkgo biloba, choline alfoscerate, vinpocetine, detralex, cinnarizine, pentoxifylline, inosine, piracetam, phenibut, levocarnitine, meldonium
Would be important to mention that I had 3 remissions since then: 1st for about 2-3 weeks starting at 1st of July 2022. It took 1 or 2 days to get from pretty bad condition to somewhat alright 2nd was for about 1.5 - 2 weeks at around 12 sep 2022. Took around 12h including sleep to get from bad into a decent condition(but worse then in previous remission) 3rd was for 4 days from around 11 of july 2023. My condition was gradually improving for 2 weeks before that stating from when I began taking ginkgo biloba and choline alfoscerate. I'm not sure if those drugs actually did anything or if it was a placebo effect.
From at least the first two remissions I would assume that my condition is reversible and should have an easy fix but I haven't found anything that energizes me or makes me less tired, Sports which I liked my whole life only makes me sleepy depending on intensity of physical exercises. Also my condition continues to deteriorate. Now I feel a little but noticeable worse than at June previous year. My condition does not have any effect on mood or irritability. At beast it is an indirect result of me having hard time doing things I liked to do before and being frustrated about it.
