I've had an absolutely hellish last 3 years with peri (I'm currently 47) and was honestly so close to just jumping on HRT because my marriage and career was really on the brink. It was even getting to the point where I was anxious I was going to lose my job after a shouted at a young colleague who asked me a stupid question on one of my bad days.
So I finally made the choice to take myself to a naturopath, who suggested a specific supplement and yoga. I'd already tried the dieting etc etc. and all your common natural supplements (black cohosh, primrose) but decided to give it a go being at the end of my rope and I'm SO glad I did.
I started incorporating both into my daily routine and while the changes were slow I can honestly say that I feel almost 95% of my 30 year old self most days now. Sweats, energy levels, aches, you name it. Best of all, my connection with the hubby is back and stronger than ever now that I finally have some patience.
The point of all of this is just to let you know if you're struggling like I was, don't give up!! I was SOOO close to giving up despite wanting to go the natural way but am so incredibly thankful I kept searching and have found a product that works for me. There are solutions out there that can make a world of difference, just keep exploring, keep hoping, and you'll find what works for you!!
You deserve to feel amazing and live your best life!

Try not to consider production or his tone. I have a couple of contenders:
Awake has some of his best solos ever being Innocence Faded, Lie, Erotomania, and Voices. His playing was shredy while also being extremely melodic and working with the changes. I believe technically, his playing became cleaner and more refined compared to Images and Words
Images and Words probably takes the win for me considering his super melodic solo in Another Day, his awesome funk part in Take the Time, then going into the awesome solo, his cool video game duet in Metropolis pt. 1, and of course the killer solo in Under a Glass Moon. While I think his playing technique got better during Awake, the musicality and parts he wrote make up for not the cleanest parts ever.
Train of Thought is the shrediest album to me. I’m not even sure if it’s his cleanest technique ever, or the most musical playing. With solos like As I am, In the name of God, This Dying Soul, it is certainly his most “balls to the wall” shred your ass off playing in their discography.
Scenes From a Memory doesn’t have the shrediest solos ever, but the parts of very technically clean. His solo in Fatal Tragedy is very clean and fast, the solo from The Spirit Carries On is very melodic, and The Dance of Eternity has some very interesting yet technically difficult parts. With that being said, I think the other three have an edge on this album.
Tell me what you think, because I have put A LOT of thought into this question over the years.
NO WRONG ANSWERS!!

Hello, I've been using the free version for quite some time now and wanted to switch to studio.
I'm trying to buy from the black magic official website. As you know, There are two payment methods. One is Paylpal and the other is credit cards.
When I choose credit card , it takes me to the PayPal page and says "Paypal account must needed for verification". And then link the credit card to payal .
The thing is I'm from India ..so is this actually a thing where you must create a PayPal account and then link your credit card there to make a purchase?
Even when I did that the bank sends me a notification of “purchase ammount xyz to SUSPICIOUS" . what kinda name is "suspicious" !
Help me out

My girlfriend and I booked a ticket exclusively from lake Louise to moraine lake, our plan was to park at lake Louise at 5am and than take the shuttle to Moraine lake close to 9am. But, we received an email that informed we need to check in on the Lake Louise park and ride, does anybody knows if I can check in on the lake Louise?

I tried to find this in the search but couldn’t quite so my apologies if this is a frequent question.
What skills would teachers like their kindergarteners to come into the classroom with? What skills do you want them to have when they leave your classroom at the end of the year?
My 4 year old will be in pre-k next year and has an IEP due to a tongue tie and mobility obstacles so we’ve worked extremely hard over the past few years to get her on the right path. So far she can reliably count to 20 and we’ve moved on to basic addition and subtraction. We have her learning her ABC song and is almost recognizing all letters as well as their sound. We’re starting beginning reading by starting introducing phonics. She can cut on a line as well as shapes and different patterns as well as manage glue sticks. We can do all shapes and have moved onto the pyramid, cube, and sphere (although she says planet or globe often for this one) to do the 3D shapes. During her IEP evaluation they were impressed on her ability to name more difficult animals as well as many colors. What are we missing? Her 3-4 class teachers say she’s much more advanced than the other children emotionally and can describe concepts I were told were advanced for her age as well as displaying an older type of imaginative play (I forget how the evaluator explained it).
What are we missing? What do we need to do to prepare her over the next year so she can hit kindergarten running? Sorry if this is silly. I did not have proactive parents and really struggled through school to the point where I almost didn’t graduate high school so I’m doing everything to try to get her prepared.
Thank you for any help.

This is Part 1 of a multi part series I'm working on. Hope you guys enjoy it. Part 2 will done soon.
This is based off of true events.
I don’t dream often, but even when I do, I don’t ponder on my dreams. To me, they’re the brain's way of coping with the reality we live in, giving us condensed and digestible images or films to understand the stress we deal with daily. However, there are other times that after having a dream, something happens in the real world that, well to put it plainly, correlates directly with the dream had while in the world of slumber. Those are the dreams I pay attention to. They’re deeper than deja vu, more like a premonition of things to come. I’d be lying if I said this happened to me often, I’m not claiming to be some kind of psychic. But regarding the dream I just had, I remember seemingly important parts as clear as glass. But, just like any dream, there are segments that I can’t recall. It’s what I imagine someone who has just woken up from surgery feels. They’re aware they had surgery but don’t know the details.
The beginning of the dream is clear to me. I was standing, staring blankly at the end of an aisle of a store. It took me a moment to figure out where I was, but after looking down the narrow aisle and seeing that it was lined with toys, I realized I was in a toy store. My blank expression broke into a glee filled smile as I excitedly waltzed down the aisle. From what I gather from this first part of the dream, I’m no older than 7 or 8. My happy expression only intensified when I saw that I was in the train section. I remember loving Thomas The Tank Engine at around this age so I wasted no time exploring the aisle. I probably watched Thomas And The Magic Railroad to a level of exhaustion, and I used to wear a little train conductor outfit everywhere I went, even to bed sometimes. The feeling I had looking through the trains in the aisle is what I suspect an alcoholic feels entering a Liquor Store and browsing the bottles. After what felt like an eternity of getting lost amongst the wooden train engines, track sets and toy tunnels, I finally found something that made all the other toys on the aisle, in my kid mind, feel irrelevant. A rare Special Edition Golden Thomas.
My focus was broken by a voice from the end of the aisle. “That’s pretty cool.” It caught me off guard and I jumped a little. I looked to my right and I saw a little girl, about my age. She was wearing a navy blue dress with a matching hairband holding back her curly dirty blonde hair and her eyes were soft and friendly. “Oh! Hi!” I said nearly in a shout, showcasing that she had scared me. She stifled a giggle at my outburst. I tried to recover and play it cool. “Oh, hi. I didn’t see you there.” I said in a pathetic attempt at coolheadedness. I knew it didn’t work when she giggled again. “My name is Wendy. The train. It's cool.” She said as she laughed. “What?” I said cluelessly. “Oh! Yeah, I’ve wanted it forever. I’ve only seen it in commercials. Even his face is gold. It’s cool because normal Thomas has a gray face.” I said, feeling a little nerdy. “Oh, My name is Chris.” I added quickly. She walked over and stood next to me, turning to face the wall of trains that I was looking at. Now that she was closer to me I could see just how pale her skin was, like she hadn’t seen the sun in years.
“She’s my favorite.“ Wendy said, pointing to a train above the Golden Thomas. It was Lady, the new character from the Magic Railroad. “Yeah, yeah she’s pretty cool.” I said, thinking to myself that the Golden Thomas was way cooler. She replied with a strange response, or at least odd for a six year old, she said, “They just got these this morning when freight came in on the truck. (She sighed deeply) Just in time for the Holiday shopping season. The funny thing is I bet half the associates aren’t even aware they’re in yet. Worse yet I don’t even think they know it’s black friday tomorrow. Nobody, and I mean nobody, pays attention around here.”. I looked at her as though she had spoken to me in Latin. “Huh?” I said confused. I had never heard a kid my age speak like an adult before. But instead of trying to play it off, she just turned to me and said, “I know a really cool place we can go, where we can watch The Magic Railroad.” “Really?! Where?” I said excitedly. She giggled and took me by the hand. “Come on, I'll show you.” We both ran out of the aisle and out of the toy store.
It was then that I realized that we were in a mall and the toy store was just one of many stores. We ran and skipped together down the huge main hallway of the mall with stores with their lights off on either side of us, like they were closed. Somehow it didn’t shock me that we were the only ones there. Like I knew that the mall was closed and I just didn’t care. We ran until we came to the end of the hall where there was a Regal Movie Theater. It was open and the lights were on unlike the other stores but their glow didn’t seem to illuminate that shadowy corner of the mall. The red blue and yellow neon lights surrounding the entrance to the theater reflected off of the mall’s tile flooring that I was walking on however. Sure enough there was a poster advertising the Thomas movie upon entering the theater. I looked around a little, everything seemed so familiar. The dim lighting, the weird carpet with a squiggly pattern all over it, the concession area and the smell of popcorn. I ran over to the candy wrack and just looked over all the different snacks they had. Wendy was standing in my periphery seemingly looking at the snacks too. I spotted a pack of twizzlers and went to grab for it. Sammy suddenly whipped around quickly to face me, almost like she was on a swivel. Her speed shocked me and I was about to laugh it off when I looked up and saw her face. Her brown eyes were now milky, sunken and cold, their warmth having left them. The little remaining color in her face was now gone, leaving it nearly gray and her skin almost seemed like cracked porcelain. Her mouth was gaping open like some rabid animal. Without moving her open mouth, a sound came out of it, like a speaker. In fact now that I think about it, it did sound like an old recording with the background static and grainy audio. She said, “Stealing is bad! Don’t do it, or else! Or else—!” Then it ended like it had been cut off.
I think she could see the fear in my expression because the color in her face returned and her eyes became normal again. She apologized, looking down at her feet, as though she was embarrassed, covering her face with her hands. “I’m sorry.” she said softly, sounding as if she were about to cry. It took a couple seconds but my fear subsided and after a moment of awkward silence, I said timidly, “It-it’s okay.” For some reason I felt bad for her. She didn’t look back up at me and I could tell she was crying now. I didn’t really know what to do but I wanted her to know it was okay. So I went to put my hand on her shoulder. Suddenly, before I could touch her, her whole body twitched dramatically once. I could see her skin was deathly white again and even with her hair obscuring her face, between the gaps in her blonde locks, one milky gray eye pierced my soul. I just stood in utter petrification as she whispered, “You can never leave Neverland.” I was terrified, I didn’t know what to do so I began to slowly back away. Once I had stepped away I was able to see something standing far behind Wendy down the hallway leading to the individual theaters. It was a shadow not Wendy’s shadow, it was someone else’s. Suddenly, Wendy glided out of view silently and without moving a muscle. It was as though she had frozen into a statue and the floor beneath her had become ice. She glided away from me quickly and without losing momentum. She dissolved into the dark corridor with that tall shadow. The last thing I saw of Wendy was her glaring eye before it too disappeared. I was in shock, my kid brain was trying to grasp what was happening but failing. But now I could see the shadow in its fullness. It was the silhouette of a tall skinny woman with thin stringy hair and wearing a tattered nightgown or maybe a dress. I could make out no other details except her eyes. They were open wide and wild, almost glowing white from reflecting the neon lights. She was staring at me, silently watching. At that I sprinted out of the theater. I was too scared to make a sound. I wanted to shout for my mother but I couldn’t bring myself to yell. What if that girl, or whatever she was, heard me? She’d find me again, glide towards me and then… oh God where was my mom?
This is where my memory fails me a little. I don’t know what happened but somehow, after running around for a while, I arrived back in the toy store and at the train aisle. The girl, or anyone else for that matter, was nowhere to be found, I was alone. I stood still catching my breath for a moment when the allure of the Golden Thomas captured me again. I cautiously entered the aisle but once I could see the golden train on the shelf, all apprehension left me. “That girl was crazy.” I thought to myself. “I wasn’t going to steal anything. Why would I steal when I could just ask my mom.” I was a little worried that I couldn't find my mom but I was sure she was around there somewhere. I walked over and I reached out to grab the train. Immediately when my fingers grasped the toy’s box everything around me changed. It was as if I were in a movie and I had just been placed in a new scene. I was leaving the toy store again and entering back into the larger structure of the mall. I was holding someone’s hand and they were pulling me forward, but not enough for it to hurt.
Assuming it to be my mom, I first looked to see if I had the Golden Thomas but there was nothing in my hands. I looked up to ask if my mom had it only to realize that whoever had my hand was not my mother. I only saw a figure dressed in white and black. At first I didn’t know how to react until I saw that this thing wasn’t taking me to a different store. It was, instead, leading me toward a rusted white door with the paint chipping off. I panicked and began to scream. “Mom, help! No! Mom, I don’t know who this is! Help!” But as I cried and struggled the figure only gripped me harder and walked faster. At that moment a sound came from the loudspeakers in the mall, “Or else! Or else—”. It was that girl, Sammy. It repeated like that two times, being cut off at the end. But the third time it finished.“Or else! Or else Captain Hook will get you, Peter. Run Peter !” I was being pulled so hard toward the rusted door now that I thought my arm would dislocate. But no matter how hard I fought back, the black and white figure dragged me closer. My heart felt like it would pound out of my chest and I continued to scream. “Stop! Please, Mom! Somebody help!” From beyond the rusted door I could hear a muffled sound. It became clearer as I was being dragged closer. Carnival music, it was out of tune carnival music, or at least something resembling that. The door swung open and the doorway led only to pitch darkness. From within the darkness I heard the music clearly, it was a haunting rendition of A Pirates Life For Me accompanied by what was either the sound of kids screaming in glee or screaming in terror, it was impossible to distinguish. All effort to escape was hopeless. The stranger, Captain Hook, pulled me in the darkness. The sound of the ghostly music and the children was instantly replaced by the sound of a phone ringing, it was my phone. It jolted me awake and I was freed from the grasp of the nightmare.
I immediately turned over to face my nightstand where my phone was. I grabbed it and was blinded by its brightness. My brain was still fuzzy from sleep so this felt like a flashbang. Through my tired squinted eyes I saw that it was an unknown number and I typically let those go to voicemail. Still as an adult I don’t like talking to strangers. Upset that this person had just interrupted my sleep, as horrifying as my nightmare was, I slammed my thumb down dramatically on the red icon. I placed it back on my nightstand and rolled over. I wasn’t tired anymore, that dream and then my phone was like an instant shot of espresso topped off with adrenaline. I laid there for a little just thinking and mulling over my thoughts, mulling over the dream. Through my blinds I could see that it was morning time so after I had a little more time in bed I decided to get up and start my day. No use in waiting for my alarm. After letting my dog out and getting ready for work I checked my phone and saw that I had indeed been left a voicemail. I told myself that I would listen to it after I got off from work. I put my phone in my pocket, said bye to my pup and left the house.
All day at work I felt off, like there was a growing anxiety within me, in my core. I work at a warehouse and my job is to basically stack pallets of product, wrap the pallet in plastic and get it ready to ship out on a truck. It’s a job that requires some attentiveness. But all day I was spacing out having day dreams almost like I was in an anxious haze, yet I couldn't pinpoint the source of the anxiety. At lunch I sat in the cafeteria on site just staring at my raman. I was hungry but I was too caught up in my own head to want to eat. “You okay there Chris?” My head shot up to see my manager John sitting across the table from me. “You okay man? You don’t look too good.” “Yeah, uh… yeah. I’m fine, I-I just didn’t sleep very well yest- last night, I mean. But I’m fine.” I said, nearly stuttering. I could tell that John knew something was up that I wasn’t telling him by the way he looked at me. “Look, I’m over staffed today, just not enough freight coming in.” John said. “You look like you could use a day, plus it’s Friday. Why don’t you take the rest of the day off.” I was hesitant to accept, I felt guilty leaving. But John didn’t really phrase it as a question, so I obliged.
When I arrived home I was greeted by my dog, a pitbull labrador mut, Dianna. While I usually reciprocate her greeting, I was in such a daze that I didn’t acknowledge her at all. She immediately could tell something was off about me. She even started acting shady towards me, keeping her distance and side eyeing me. I was exhausted and so I just went upstairs to bed. It was strange, as I went up my stairs, I couldn’t help but notice that the darker areas of my house were noticeably more dull. I collapsed onto my bed with my shoes still on and almost instantly fell into a dreamless sleep. I woke up the next day at 6 AM. I had slept for over 12 hours. After that my weekend went fine. Nothing really noteworthy happened to be honest. I mostly just sat around and I at some point wrote down my nightmare in my journal while I watched Friends. On Monday, three days after the incident at work, I was actually leaving work and sitting in my car about to drive out of the parking lot when I remembered the voicemail. I pulled it up on my phone and listened. “Hi, Chris. This is Detective Connor Davidson with the Richland Police Department. Do you remember me? I know it’s been… has it been 3 years already? Damn. Anyway, would you mind calling me back when you get this? I have an update. Thanks.”I was in a little shock. I hadn’t heard Connor’s voice in a long time. Not since I had lived in Richland Washington 3 years prior. Not since all those horrible things happened.
Sitting in my car my mind was reeling after hearing Connor’s voice. I was fixated on the phrase, “I have an update.” Over and over again it repeated in my mind and a lump formed in my throat as I pressed the Return Call icon on my phone. The phone rang twice and then Connor answered. “Detective Davidson.” He said. For a second I didn’t say anything, unsure how to even introduce myself because my brain was so occupied. “Hello?” Connor broke the awkward silence. I finally spat something out. “H-hi Connor, it's Chris. Jackson. You called me a couple days ago. With an update?” Connor’s voice immediately became friendly and full of recognition. “Oh, hey man. How’s it going? It’s been a long time.” “I’m okay.” I said. Connor’s cordialness broke me out of my weird mindset. “It has been a long time. Last we talked it was Officer Davidson I believe. You must like the pay raise.” “Oh yeah, it's great. I can actually afford my car payment and groceries.” We both chuckled. “How do you like being a Detective?” I asked. “It’s pretty great, to be honest. I basically get paid to write reports and eat donuts at the station.” He said, obviously joking. “I bet in a town like Richland, there’s not a whole lot of action.” I said with a laugh. There was silence on his end of the phone after I said that. It seemed I had reminded him of the reason he reached out to me in the first place. “Have you been keeping up on the news here?” I no longer lived in Richland so I hadn’t. “No? What happened?” I asked, but I had a feeling I knew what the news was, praying that I was wrong. Praying that it wasn’t happening again. “We got him.” He said. “We caught James Reese.” I was once again in shock. I was speechless. I was wrong. My fear indeed did revolve around James, but that he had resurged and was killing again, not that he had been caught.
Connor continued as I had nothing to say. “Late last Thursday, a police station in Baker City received an anonymous tip that he was hiding in an abandoned house. They pursued it and, well it turned out to be true. They took him into custody Friday morning.” “Baker City? Like you mean Oregon?” I asked. “Of all places.” Connor replied. “The state agreed to extradite him here, to Benton County, for prosecution. I still didn't know what to say. I just blurted out the first thing that came to my mind. “Why?” I said. “Why?” Connor repeated as to say “what do you mean ‘why?’” “Why are you telling me this, Connor? I don’t want to know this.” Connor sighed sympathetically, almost regretfully. “This case is moving fast. He’s going to appear in court sooner than later. And unfortunately you’re a key witness to what happened, Chris. It’s more likely than not that you're going to be called on to testify when he is brought before the judge. And seeing that I’ve been made lead investigator on the case, I thought I would give you a heads up before an attorney did it first.” Now I understood. “Thanks.” I said dryly. We talked for a little longer, catching up and making pleasantries. After we hung up, I just sat in the silence of my car, contemplating and dreading the fact that I was going to have to dig up memories I had worked hard to bury. The skeletons in my closet had been stirred up.

Hello. As a disclaimer, this is a new project. This will probably be my only QCrit for this project until I'm actually ready to query. Really, I would just like some advice on how to tackle the issues I can already foresee and I wasn't sure how else to ask. I'm sorry in advance because this is going to be long– I'm honestly so hesitant to post this, but if you could offer any advice or help me understand the most marketable way to tackle this (as tacky as that sounds), I would appreciate it so much. And if you just want to look at the query, I totally get that.
The thing I feel most confident about is that this is a very hooky MS. I think the fact that it's a Dark Fantasy with horror elements will help with some of my other issues. Those issues being (1, my main character is male, and (2, romance is not emphasized. I think with dark/horror focused books, no romance might be a little more forgiveable.
I'm aware cishet, straight, white, male characters are a hard sell right now. (I get the feeling that male leads might be on the verge of a little comeback, but I digress). No romance is even worse.
My MC is a cishet male. He’s not white, he’s from a desert region, but I don't think I can really market him as POC, either. HOWEVER, he is asexual, aro/demiromantic, and autistic– as am I. The fact that I myself am aro/ace is part of why I dislike writing romance. But his orientation and neurodivergency isn't really the focus of the book. Neither is his autism.
To try to make up for the lack of explicit romance in the MS I've decided a female side character will approach him with romantic intentions, but the purpose of this is to show him push back against it and reject her, showcasing his sexual/romantic orientation.
So while he is a queer and neurodivergent main character, and I think that would really help with the fact that he's also a male MC… that's just not the focus of the book. Can I even use his orientation and neurodivergency when querying? If so, how do I do that if it's not the focus of the book? SHOULD I put more focus on it? How do you balance focusing on neurodivergency and queerness in a book that leans on horror elements, or in a fantasy book in general? Is this project marketable at all?
Huge thanks if you read all that. Any and all advice is appreciated. I just don't want to screw this up or devote my time to something that might be DOA. Below is my query, a twitter pitch (for pitching contests) and the first 300 words. Apologies for formatting– mobile user.

Dear [Agent Name],
Cadonai Talon’s life was a lie.
For the first time in his sixteen years under the custody of Ichemos’ reigning champion, Vikarion Talon, Cade partakes in his family's business. But when that ‘business’ leads Cade to protest the slaughter of an innocent tribe, he discovers nothing about his childhood is what he thought it was.
Ichemos is not an agricultural utopia; it's a warring wasteland constantly fraught with power struggles. At least, it was– Cade's adoptive father has finally conquered the entire region. Everyone in it, including the people he loves, have been inducted into a hive mind in which only a select few are conscious. Their malnourished, soulless bodies fight in Vikarion’s battles and cushion his parties. Worst of all, Cade is meant to be the hive mind’s power source; its resource; its sacrifice. To the people who raised him, that's all he’s ever been.
Cade’s refusal to power the hive mind brings consequences; there are worse fates than joining. A week-long party begins. For the entirety Cade must cater to the whims of the mob and at the end he will be forcibly inducted. Alongside four immune prisoners, Cade takes matters into his own hands and forms an escape plan to warn the lands past Ichemos of his father's spreading infection; all before the party ends. But when unfortunate circumstances separate him from his accomplices, Cade must face Vikarion, his lie of a life, and the dark cause he was made for– alone.
So Sacred a Sacrifice is a YA Dark Fantasy complete at 80k words, where cultish undertones meet the POV of an unwilling, unwitting sacrifice, à la Skyla Arndt's Together We Rot. The grand atmosphere of Emily J. Taylor's Hotel Magnifique is flipped on its head– you'll leave with scars instead of smiles.

Twitter Pitch
The party lasts a week. The guests are mindless, emaciated, and erratic. The finale? Cade will be forcibly inducted into their hive mind. Seven days are all he has to escape– or he’ll spend the rest of his life as the power source of a spreading cult.

“You left your sandals at home.”
I’m caught red-handed. Waist-high grass sways to a still around me as I freeze. Slowly, I turn around. Aldrakon is a silhouette against the dark sky. His hands are raised, thumbs hooked in the straps of my sandals. His eyebrows arch, barely visible. We stand facing each other.
I break into a guilty smile. “I thought everyone else would be asleep.”
“We thought you’d be. We were going to wake you up.” His voice is monotone, but I catch the humor in it after years of exposure. “Is sneaking out of the house in the dead of morning your idea of a good birthday?”
I glance at the riverside. I almost made it. Water laps at the bank and frogs croak quietly. A gust of wind rustles through the reeds. I look back at my brother. “Well, spending the morning at the river was. I sort of figured that might be all the alone time I get today.”
“How about spending a day at the Storehouse instead?”
Breath squirms out of my lungs like a worm in a storm. My mouth falls open for a moment before I catch myself and shut it. I sound as croaky as the frogs when I say, “Oh, if this is a joke, it’s a cruel one.”
Aldrakon snorts through his nose and offers out my sandals. “I’m usually not the one who delivers the punchline.”
That’s an understatement. A strange sort of hope seeps in where my breath escaped. I take my sandals, hold them to my chest, and gape. “Dad finally agreed?”
Aldrakon comes to stand beside me, ghosting his fingers against my shoulder and applying subtle pressure to get me moving away from the riverbank and back towards the village. I go willingly. Sunlight is just starting to crack the horizon. “Dad’s the one who planned it.”

I've been making small mods for the game for a bit now but condidering how big the gang manager is i cant seem to find any values or ways to edit the values like weight of packages accepted by the gangs, speed of new orders and amount of packages, as well as price/g of drug.
Anyone know under what names i can find these values using UassetGUI?

Can Fentanyl be absorbed thru the skin? NO...

It is a common misconception that fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin, but it is not true for casual exposure. You can't overdose on fentanyl by touching a doorknob or dollar bill. The one case in which fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin is with a doctor-prescribed fentanyl skin patch, and even then, it takes hours of exposure.

Why is it important to dispel the myth that fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin?

It is important that we clarify and let everyone know that fentanyl cannot be absorbed through the skin because people who have overdosed on fentanyl may have only minutes to live. Pausing or waiting for other people to arrive means that person might die. They need our help and it is safe to help them.

What are the symptoms of a fentanyl overdose?

When someone overdoses on fentanyl or any opioid, their respiratory rate will slow, they will get sleepy and by the time we would say that they have overdosed, they would be unconscious. They would also have small pupils and would be minimally breathing or not breathing at all. People who have overdosed on any opioid need help immediately.

What should you do if you encounter someone who is overdosing?

If you find someone who has overdosed on fentanyl or another opioid, you should call 911 immediately. If you have naloxone (commonly referred to by the brand name Narcan) you should administer it to them intra-nasally through the nose or through an injection. In California, anyone can get naloxone without a prescription.

What would your message be to a person who is concerned about the idea of trying to give life-saving care to somebody who is having an overdose because they’re worried about being exposed to the drug?

If you walk into a space and find someone who has overdosed on fentanyl it is certainly safe to evaluate them, call 911 for help, administer naloxone and even do CPR. While you should avoid intentionally touching any unidentified powder and then touch your mouth or nose, you do not need to hesitate when trying to save the life of someone who has overdosed.

This is not intended to be a hate post or rant in any way. I love almost everything in TFS and I think it's the best DLC they've ever made, but I just want to share my opinion and hear yours.
The raid is good, very difficult and requires a lot of teamwork (as it should be), but it has 2 small flaws:
1- The Witness fight should have lasted longer. I just wish he had multiple phases or multiple encounters, where we slowly make him lose control and transform into a monster of darkness, or something, I don't know. It shouldn't have been a "stay here and shoot him" fight. The only redeeming factor is its difficulty and the fact that it attacks you with attacks that are somewhat difficult to dodge during the damage phase.
2- The armor set looks default as hell. Imagine if we had a smoky hunter's cloak, some witness warlock robes, or a titan chest with lots of arms on its back, it could have been sick. I thought they learned their lesson in RoN and Crota's End (those sets look amazing). Also, some armor was revealed today for future episodes and they look AMAZING, I don't know why they couldn't offer something like that in these sets.
Overall, a great dlc, 9.5/10. Minus half a point for these two minor mistakes, maybe they just needed more time. Anyway, congratulations to the developers.

Names changed for privacy.
I work for a smallish company, less than 20 people. One of my friends (we’ll call her Sarah) asked me one day if we are hiring. I said yes, we’re currently searching for two main positions. My friend said our mutual friend (let’s say “Mark”) is looking for a new job as he has been laid off and only have a few months to find something new. I was surprised because the industry I work in is not one that Mark is part of, but apparently he’s been taking classes relevant to the field and wants to make a career switch. Fair enough, but he would be starting out very entry level while I know we are looking for someone with much more experience. I also don’t think he and the boss would work well together at ALL just knowing how Mark is sometimes. So I told Sarah that it might not be the best fit and truthfully I knew he wouldn’t get the job, but obviously with him losing his other job I won’t discourage him from applying anywhere. I gave general tips on how to help his resume stand out and he sent his application.
Today (now a week later) Sarah asked me if there was any update on Mark’s application. I said not that I had heard. She asked “what did your boss say when you gave a good word for him?” I told her I hadn’t mentioned anything about Mark to my boss. She was shocked to hear this and said “you didn’t even try to mention you knew him?”
I was confused and told her that I wasn’t comfortable giving reference to someone that I didn’t think was a good match for the job. I also said I had been pretty clear from the beginning that I didn’t think he would get it and that it wasn’t a good fit, so I was confused why the expectation was for me to stick my neck out for him. She said it was how I could help explain that he’s so willing to learn, which I told her (again) that while that’s great, we aren’t looking for people who are just starting - we really need people with experience for these particular roles.
I also asked why she thinks my word carries enough weight to make or break his getting the job when I don’t even work in the departments these roles are in (I’m only a receptionist). Honestly if he was going to be considered, he just would have been from his application. But just as I thought, he didn’t even get considered (likely because of his lack of experience). She just reiterated that it would be helping him out and he’s about to lose his other job. That’s where I started to wonder if I’m the AH because that’s a hard position to be in. I just was trying to be realistic this whole time.
So be honest - AITAH?

I've had the same 1% cash back card since college and it only recently occurred to me that I'm leaving money on the table, so I've been doing a ton of research. The Capital One Duo/Bifecta is nice and simple, but to pay back the Venture X AF I'd have spend at least $400 on travel per year.
I do not currently travel at all (family lives within driving distance) so I don't need any travel benefits. But I'm 30yo and have barely traveled at all so I kind of want to give it a try. $400 is not a crazy amount, but it's still a commitment, and I don't want to feel forced to spend money if I don't have to. This is just a personal decision I'll have to make, but it's relevant to how indecisive I feel about all this.
SO! I'd love to hear fully-cashback recs given my spending, in case I decide against the travel. The Wells Fargo PC to Active Cash seemed obvious at first, but the slightly-better Alliant option gives me pause. Also, is there anything I should consider if I decide to go all cashback now, then decide pick up a travel card later?

Hi!
My name is AnaSofia and my roommate Justin and I are looking for a roommate to occupy a PRIVATE BEDROOM with a shared bathroom in a COED apartment.
Apartment Details:
The apartment is on Roebling Ave in Westwood. It is about a 15 minute walk to the center of UCLA - using Ackerman as a point of reference - and is less than 5 minutes from IN-N-OUT. Parking comes free with the apartment, there are a total of three tandem spots but I am currently the only one that drives. The apartment is quite spacious and has a small patio. You would be sharing the bathroom with me - it has a shower and good storage - and the bedroom has a closet. Rent is about 1550 + utilities - water and trash are free - there are washers and dries in the building, and the apartment has a patio! The building does not allow non service pets without an emotional support animal letter.
About Us: We are both going into our third year, I'm a Biology and Geology major and Justin is a Sociology major. We enjoying board and video games, music, and watching shows/movies. We are pretty clean people and also fairly social so expect guests. We are 420, alcohol, and LGBTQ+ friendly. I am also the proud owner of a very friendly and well behaved cat. An added bonus to living with us is that we both work in food service and bring home leftovers a lot.
The most important things to us in a roommate are that you aren't a total slob (like don't leave food out I'm afraid of bugs) and that we all vibe together in a social sense!
Leave a comment and/or message me your instagram if you're interested and I can share pictures and we can chat!
