2024.05.22 04:02 _GAIVS_IVLIVS_CAESAR Has anyone gotten Bryce 7 working on Linux without GUI glitches?
I just bought Bryce 7 for $4 yesterday so I can make surreal retro CGI art.
I tried installing it on Arch Linux in Wine, but I couldn't even type in the text box to input my license key.
So, I installed it with Bottles, and although I was able to input my key and use it, the UI was glitchy and dislocated.
I could just install it in a Windows 7 or XP VM, but that's not as convenient. So, has anyone gotten this program to work on Linux without GUI glitches?

2024.05.22 04:01 cold_brew23 Returning mid-player
Hello! Returning mid-level player here looking for new friends and/or a clan to chat and just enjoy the game with altogether. Preferably with people who understand that life is priority. I've never been good with PVP so I'd rather not join PVP-oriented clans. I would love to be a good PVMer at some point but I do need to work on my combat skills.
More about myself - I'm one of those 90's kid who used to play RS every night during my grade school days. Played during high school as well but slowly lost interest after grand exchange was introduced. Also, all my real life and online friends I knew slowly stopped playing one by one which eventually caused me to stop playing. After a lengthy break, I decided to give OSRS a chance once more and re-ignited my love for the game. However, as with the passage of time, my priorities and responsibilities changed and increased making it difficult to find time to play (aka adulting).
Now, as I have finally settled in a good spot once again in life, I would like to return and play the one game that I absolutely love and hate at the same time. Some may say it's for nostalgia, which might be the case, but I see no fault in reminiscing and feeding the forever child in me with new memories from the game that taught him so many valuable lessons and things along the way.
P.S. Message me if you're down to be friends in-game!

2024.05.22 04:01 untakenusernameee Car dealership keeps postponing me coming to see a car. Suspicious?
I called about a used car on a Saturday afternoon. It had been listed for at least a couple of weeks but I hadn’t had time to go car shopping until then. Dealer (small dealer - only about 5 cars listed) told me straight away that someone had just put in a loan application for it but they had bad credit so may not get approved, he would know on Monday and would let me know.
Monday 4pm I call, he says he was just about to call me, the applicant wasn’t approved, car is available. I make an appointment to come see it the next morning at 10am. He asks if I’m paying cash or financing, I tell him financing and was open to doing that through him if the terms were good but he straightaway just asks that I come preapproved and I tell him no problem. He says he will text me the address. I set up the pre approval through my credit union, it’s fully ready to go. He doesn’t text the address. Next morning I wake up to a text sent late apologizing that he had to go interstate for a family emergency and will be back “end of week”.
I’m genuinely super nice about it because family emergency. I also don’t ask at any point specifically when he will be back because it’s a total a**hole move to bother someone who’s dealing with a family emergency.
So I wait until the following Monday morning to ensure I’ve passed any “end of week” definition. I text him saying please forgive me if you’re still with your family, hope all is ok, was wondering if you're back. I told him if he’s away indefinitely I completely understand, no problem, but if he could let me know so I can plan accordingly that would be much appreciated.
He apologizes, still away dealing with family stuff. Will be back by Wednesday, we can make an appointment for Wed/Thu - and if I end up taking the car he’ll throw in a great warranty to make up for the inconvenience. I tell him not to apologize, family first, but thank you I appreciate that and Wednesday 11:30am would be great if the works for him.
I wouldn’t have even gone there with him still dealing with family stuff except he’d brought up specifics of the sale and had even included a particularly excited smily face emoji lol.
It’s now Tuesday night and he still hasn’t answered to confirm that appointment. I’d tend to think well if someone’s just had a death in the family or something traumatic, they possibly can barely function or think about anything else. I would totally understand that. However, due to the nature of his last text that didn’t seem to be the case.
I will call him in the morning but my hopes aren’t high and in that he didn’t answer my last text - added to the other inconsistencies from the beginning - I now feel like I’m getting the runaround for some other reason. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt re a family emergency - and I feel like a jerk for even saying this if it is true - but of course it’s a possibility he’s lying and giving the only excuse that doesn’t make him look flaky and unprofessional.
If he doesn’t answer or commit to an appointment tomorrow, I’ll be fully done following up with him and will look elsewhere. (I’ve kept my eye out but am very specific about what I want and also need to stick to a strict budget.) But even if he does commit to an appointment, it makes me concerned I’m dealing with someone dishonest. Or if he commits to an appointment at a later time I don’t want to be strung along only for him to “postpone” again.
Does all this sound weird or not particularly? If weird, why would someone drag it out unclearly instead of just telling you that it’s not gonna happen? Why doesn’t he want to sell it to me? So strange.
TLDR - I’m trying to go see a used car that’s listed for sale but the dealership (small dealership, just one guy) keeps having reasons the car or he are not available. Would give him benefit of the doubt but he’s not called/texted when he said he would and most recently disappeared mid text convo short of confirming an appointment to see it. Why? Suspicious?

2024.05.22 04:01 Wonderful_Zucchini55 need advice, failed g11 exams
Guys, I did pretty badly on my G11 exams. I think I'll only have passing grades for everything, all 3's for my SLs and all 4's for my HLs. Look, I'm good at studying when I want to be, I've always been a good student before the IB. But I completely burned out this year. I just gave up after the the first semester. I definitely just want to use this time and the summer to improve, make great IAs, etc...
My concern is, can I still do well in G12? And can I get good predicted grades in G12, by regular decision time? Will universities not accept me because of my G11 performance even if I do well in G12?

2024.05.22 04:01 steinney555 Sanity check and thank you to the community [2-4 days out]
First of all, thank you in general to this subreddit, my mind has been put at ease (as much as possible) reading through this sub.
My experience started late last week, so over the 2-4d mark now. I won't get into specifics but I was looking to.. purchase.. some services on a website. Seemed all was good, got further verification, but in my inebriated mind I fell for the typical scam. Moved from WA/TG/similar and I am unfortunately an idiot and sent a payment for said service tied to my number.
**What they have:**
The second I got the "I will send these screenshots to [named family members]...." I blocked numbers, cleared and deleted all accounts that I had communications with them on.
**Action I have taken:** All socials were already on private/unsearchable. Essentially as tight as they could be within the apps themselves. I have deleted a few and temporarily disabled the rest. Also tried to scrub myself using an opt-out service as well as possible.
I have not had contact from them since the initial encounter, but pre-emptively have mentioned to a few friends and family members I have had some unauthorized login attempts on a few of my apps/phone.
I know I should expect further contact but does this seem reasonable to be able to actually sleep again for a night or two?

**What they have:**
- Old address from a while back in a different province
- Screenshots of: texts of the fairly detailed purchase intent, the payment, and (unfortunately) myself confirming the payment went through via text to them
- phone number, first and last name, names of two family members that I also found in a quick google search. Presumably none of their numbers or I am guessing they would have sent that along with the names. I was able to find one of their numbers online but the other is generally wrong on people search engines.
- Pictures of myself in any fashion

2024.05.22 03:58 ValuBlue Is burn-in risk for productivity overblown ?
Looking to get a S90C or D which I’ll be using or media, gaming and productivity as it will be connected to a PC. I have been using a 55in TV about 10ft away as a PC monitor for about a year and looking to upgrade. I’m also a college student so I spend a decent bit of time doing stuff on word and Google doc and Anki (flash cards). Is the risk of burn in using productivity apps too high with an OLED ? How about text clarity. I would assume it’s not as much of an issue as on monitors since I’m sitting much further away and windows scaling would be at 300%. Not sure if anyone who uses these TVs like that would have any idea.

2024.05.22 03:57 Then_Marionberry_259 MAY 21, 2024 IPT.V IMPACT SILVER ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF AN OVERSUBSCRIBED C$7.1 MILLION FIRST TRANCHE NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
 | https://preview.redd.it/f9fg4t85xv1d1.png?width=3500&format=png&auto=webp&s=8406675d1d3690bd77aea236d0196f934712623a submitted by Then_Marionberry_259 to Treaty_Creek [link] [comments] Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 21, 2024) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTC Pink: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of the non-brokered private placement financing originally announced of up to C$6,200,000 on April 30th, 2024 and subsequently increased up to C$8,200,000 on May 13th, 2024 (the "Offering"). The Offering is being completed pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption ("LIFE") of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106") and other private placement exemptions under NI 45-106. Under the first tranche the Company has received gross proceeds of C$2,936,587 from the issuance of 10,487,812 LIFE units (the "LIFE Units") at C$0.28 per LIFE Unit and gross proceeds of C$4,192,071 from the issuance of 15,526,190 units (the "Standard Units") at C$0.27 per Standard Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of C$7,128,659. The second tranche of the Offering is anticipated to close on or before May 28th, 2024. Each LIFE Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one half common share purchase warrant (each whole such warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of C$0.34 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from its date of issue. Each Standard PP Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one full Warrant, with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Warrant Share at a price of C$0.34 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from its date of issue. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to accelerate exploration activity at its Plomosas high-grade zinc-lead-silver property located in Chihuahua, Mexico, further develop its prolific silver assets at its legacy Royal Mines of Zacualpan district, as well as invest in operational improvements to improve productivity and throughput as the price of silver nears 52-week highs. Exploration activities include sampling, target definition, and drilling with the intention of expanding the existing JORC mineral resource at Plomosas, where only 600m of the 6-kilometre-long structure has been tested. Frederick Davidson, CEO and President of the Company, comments, "With silver rallying to over US$30/ounce last week and going higher not to mention strong zinc prices amidst a rally in base metals, IMPACT Silver is well positioned to benefit from production at Plomosas, Guadalupe, and high potential exploration programs in 2024." As mentioned, a portion of the Offering was made pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the "LIFE Exemption"). The securities sold under the LIFE Exemption are not subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. A copy of the offering document under the LIFE Exemption dated April 5, 2024, is available electronically on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under the Company's issuer profile. The remaining portion of the Offering was made pursuant to certain private placement exemptions under NI 45-106. These securities will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering remains subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid an aggregate of C$317,943 in finder's fees and issued 1,158,562 finder's warrants (each, a "Finder's Warrant") to certain finders. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of C$0.34 per share for a period of 24 months from its date of issue. The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any securities in any jurisdiction. ABOUT IMPACT SILVER IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) is a successful producer-explorer with two mining projects in Mexico. Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District: IMPACT owns 100% of the 211 km2 Zacualpan project where four underground silver mines and one open pit mine feed the central 500 tpd Guadalupe processing plant. To the south, the Capire Project includes a 200 tpd processing pilot plant adjacent to an open pit silver mine with an NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource of over 4.5 million oz silver, 48 million lbs zinc and 21 million lbs lead (see IMPACT news release dated January 18, 2016 for details and QP statement); Company engineers are reviewing Capire for a potential restart of operations. Over the past 18 years, IMPACT has placed multiple zones into commercial production and produced over 12 million ounces of silver, generating revenues over C$261 million. Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver District: IMPACT has begun preliminary mining and processing operations at its 100% owned Plomosas high-grade zinc mine in northern Mexico where upgrades to facilities and equipment continue. Exploration potential at Plomosas is exceptional with only 600m of the 6km-long structure have seen modern exploration. This is in addition to other exploration targets on the 3,019-hectare property including untested copper-gold targets with indications of high-grade material from surface. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt as some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included herein, including, without limitation, statements relating to future silver prices, interpretation of drill results, future work plans, proceeds received and use of funds, the potential of the Company's projects, and potential and plans for the Plomosas project, are forward looking statements.

IMPACT does not assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law. The Company's decision to place a mine into production, expand a mine, make other production related decisions or otherwise carry out mining and processing operations, is largely based on internal non-public Company data and reports based on exploration, development and mining work by the Company's geologists and engineers. The results of this work are evident in the discovery and building of multiple mines for the Company and in the track record of mineral production and financial returns of the Company since 2006. Under NI 43-101 the Company is required to disclose that it has not based its production decisions on NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource or reserve estimates, preliminary economic assessments or feasibility studies, and historically such projects have increased uncertainty and risk of failure. 303-543 Granville Street Telephone (604) 664-7707 Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 1X8 www.impactsilver.com Twitter LinkedIn NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES To view the source version of this press release, please visit https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/210040 https://preview.redd.it/wa1mfab5xv1d1.png?width=4000&format=png&auto=webp&s=30c3b21bab4a8842eb70ee8ec82a50135d228b3e

2024.05.22 03:55 Practical_Plant4270 Working at CGHQ - any VA apartment recommendations?
Does anyone have any VA (not DC or MD) apartment recommendations on the economy that are military friendly, no crazy high utility bills, safe, with A/C, and in unit washedryer, free or reasonably priced parking, close a metro station (walking distance) with a reasonable commute to Anacostia? I plan on mostly utilizing the DC metro to get to work instead of battling DC traffic.
I’m utilizing apartments.com, apartment list, etc. and I’m getting absolutely inundated with calls, texts, and emails from the apartment leasing agents. I don’t use Facebook or any other social media and I’d rather not use Craigslist. I am just looking for a decent studio or 1 bedroom apartment with no roommates or pets.
My rent budget ceiling is preferably around $1.9k (including parking and utilities). I really don’t want to spend anything above that as I’m saving for the future.
I’d appreciate any advice or recommendations from CGHQ Coasties that have experience living in apartments in northern VA.
I’d rather go into this search with a bit of a plan than go into it without the experience and stories of others then get taken advantage of by landlords who prey on military members!
Thank you!

2024.05.22 03:55 Current_Pop2743 FMIL Wants to be in Charge of DH’s Birthday a Third Year in a Row
(CW: abuse, suicide)
I hope I’m doing this right!
FMIL, but DH and I have been engaged and owned a home together for a decade and we have a 9 year old—just aren’t planning a wedding until I am done school and start earning money again.
Two years ago I was going to throw DH a surprise party, but FMIL and FSIL have planned a vacation during DH’s birthday the past two years, so I wasn’t able to. We are the only ones with a school aged child and these trips are always planned for a full week during my kid’s 1st full month of the school year, so we can only go for the weekend while everyone else (FMIL, FSIL & boyfriend and little kids, FBIL & girlfriend) is there the whole time.
For some background: the first year of the birthday/vacation was unpleasant, FMIL gaslighted DH the first time he ever had the nerve to bring up FFIL abusing him as a child, saying that it didn’t happen. FMIL didn’t like that I was insisting on keeping LO on his regular bedtime schedule on Saturday since he stayed up very late Friday and was returning to his 3rd week of kindergarten on Monday and we needed to drive back Sunday. On Sunday, I woke up to a very long email from FMIL explaining that saying no to a later bedtime on Saturday was unreasonable because this was family time, and that in the movie Dead Poet’s Society one character completes suicide because his parents said no too often. Yeah.
Anyway, last year DH wanted a cookout in our backyard with all his friends for his birthday. He’s never hosted a cookout with his friends. Once again they booked the vacation then so he didn’t. This year I planned to do the cookout, but it’s still months away, so of course I haven’t started.
I get a text today saying FMIL wants to plan a surprise party for DH’s birthday this year with me and FSIL, she wants me to pick a hall, she will make food, that my family will make food, “some” of his buddies can be invited, and it will be BYOB (halls here have bars and don’t allow BYOB, but whatever) and I will have to make an excuse to get him there. She asked what did I think.
Side note: I am a full time student expediting a degree in STEM (a totally new field for me), I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, I have many chronic illnesses, and I am still doing all the SAHM domestic duties I took on when I left the workforce to raise my kid because daycare was commensurate with my salary. I went back to school when LO started kindergarten (so that first vacation was entirely me studying). I finish my degree in December(!) but the months leading up to that are going to be SO busy for me.
I told FMIL that I was planning the cookout, what he wants, for this year. She said he should have surprise party because he doesn’t expect anything fancy and he deserves it and that I should pick a date the month before his birthday or the month after (this is the month I have to plan LO’s huge birthday party) for a surprise party and just have both parties, and if it’s the month after it can also be my graduation party (I won’t graduate for a couple months after that time, still). I don’t want a graduation party, and neither of us should have to split a party, especially if he deserves this surprise party. I do not have time to plan three parties in the final months of my degree, and I probably wouldn’t even have time to attend a second birthday party for him if she threw it all by herself!
I haven’t responded again. I have therapy in the morning and will respond after. I have never thrown him a birthday party, and it seems like she’s just trying to be in control of his birthday for three years in a row, and she doesn’t do this with her other children. I am so tired.

2024.05.22 03:53 Jealous_Literature_4 In depth - Custom tablet wall mount project - lots of info and photos
 | This project took months since i originally conceived it in my head, to actually completing it, since i've been constantly putting it off. Back in January 2024, i started with buying the tablet that i wanted to use for my wall mounted Home Assistant dashboard. I was originally going to go with Lenovo M10 3rd gen model for about 170 euro, but after some digging around i have found a recommendation for another model that is kinda older but slimmer, with a much better looking screen and higher resolution. I went with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e that i found factory refurbished online on a French website Electro Depot for a price of 200 euros - it was in perfect condition, looked brand new when it arrived, kind of a steal for that price. The Super AMOLED screen on it is just amazing, such a nice contrast, black depth and great color rendition. submitted by Jealous_Literature_4 to homeassistant [link] [comments] Since it originally launched in 2019, Android updates stopped, and the last version was kinda aged, so i slapped on a custom ROM on it - LineageOS 21 that runs Android 14. That end of business was fixed, all good to go. Next step was figuring out what wall mount i was going to go with. Having said that, the Galaxy S5e did not have alot of options, there were some VidaBox mounts, TabCare, TabLines etc, that all looked kinda bulky and hella expensive, that wasn't gonna cut it for me, i wanted something slim and sleek looking. So, i started looking around for some 3D models of wall mounts for it - again, slim pickings. Not alot of people using the Galaxy S5e wall mounted i guess. The only one i found, and ended up using for testing purposes was one on Thingiverse from a dude named Cemera, the problem was, it was missing two upper pieces and not alot of style or a place to hide the USB cable behind. So i kept digging and eventually found a near perfect 3D model of a wall mount that checked all the boxes for me, the problem was - it was designed for a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 10.5, that had all different physical dimensions compared to the S5e, ouch. So i grabbed the 3D files from this dude named MADSGADEBERG on Cults3D, and went to work. Having said that, i had almost zero experience doing modeling 3D stuff (if we don't count SketchUp floor plan design), so you can imagine the pain of going through the process of actually adapting the 3D model to fit my Galaxy Tab S5e, when the width, height, thickness, camera placement and even the speaker location that are all different. Anyway, hours and hours went into the Fusion 360 that i grabbed previously with a free personal licence, rummaging through tutorials on YouTube, and finally i got the result that i wanted. I can't say that this was a slight modification of the original wall mount design for the Galaxy Tab A8, since i ended up changing a lot of stuff to it, including volume button notch, area around the usb port was hella sketchy on the original model, had to beef it all up since original one was just begging it to break. I have also remodeled the front cover design, playing with the bezel width, chamfer and fillet of corners, magnets depth etc, all to fit the Galaxy S5E as tight as possible, with really small tolerances. Even added the four openings on the sides for amazing sounding quad AKG speakers. My biggest gripe with all of this, was having to cut that beautiful design into two pieces, as most 3D printers (including my Bambu Lab X1C) do not have the big enough work area to print this in one piece, e.g the mount being all that slimmed up was still ~270mm long, and i had 256x256x256mm on my build plate to work with. Such a shame, but oh well. Actually the biggest problem that was revolving about the wall mount design was getting a slim enough USB-C cable, actually slim enough connector part, and that was not easy as it sounds. So, you see, you USA guys had the cable i wanted on your Amazon, but living in Europe i resorted to finding something closer. AliExpress was also an option, but i did not have the patience to wait weeks getting it delivered from China. So, i actually found a dude on Etsy from the Netherlands that makes or rather modifies these cables, and it was perfectly sized for my wall mount project. Bingo, i had everything i needed for the wall mount part, except the magnets that i forgot to order - luckily the one day shipping from Amazon in France works like a charm - hurray. Ok, having finished the wall mount part, i still needed to figure out how the hell i was going to power this on the wall. So, you see, in the USA, you guys have at least some solutions of buying a recessed box for the wall outlet. Here, in Europe, we don't do alot of drywalls, and we don't recess the outlets that much in the brick walls. Luckily, my place here in France is all drywalled up, but still zero solutions online for buying a deeper recessed wall box or media box that would fit my needs. So, as you might have guessed, i had to design and 3D print one up from scratch. As i was getting familiar with Fusion 360, that wasn't as much of a hassle compared to modifying the wall mount design. I had in mind of creating something sleek that would fit an outlet with USB-A and USB-C ports to actually power the tablet. The problem is, i did not have power wires available right in the area that i was wanting to mount the tablet, but luckily on that wall i had a junction box near the floor. I bought some 2 metre wires, couple of electric connectors to borrow the neutral, live and ground wires from the junction box, cut up a square hole in the drywall and i was good to go. I had 10cm of clearance in the wall, so i used it up to the max, designing a box that is 6cm deep, leaving the 4cm for the round power outlet box. Good thing about this, i could use normal sized chargers in the actual outlet if i had the need to, since 6cm plus the length of the prongs that go into the holes in the outlet gives a nice depth to fit regular sized chargers. Alright, i know that alot of people just do not care of estetics behind when the tablet and the mount are going to cover all the holes and drilling/cutting mess anyway, but i wanted to keep things clean, designing a cover for the recessed box to hide the cuts in the drywall. I also chose a cheap but nice looking outlet - i like to keep things clean and tidy, sue me. Instead of drilling all the stuff in the drywall and adding screws, i went with a less destructive method, adding a heavy duty double sided tape to everything, holds like a champ and i can peel it off if i ever decide to change the wall mount location. So there you have it, a project that i wanted to do for years, all the way back when i started getting into Home Assistant, but i always kept delaying it thinking it was too much work - well it was, but having it done in the end, i learned alot of usefull stuff in the process. For instance, modeling in Fusion 360, it will help me alot with my 3D printing hobby, where i will actually design some future items instead of just printing the files that other people made. Also, i love being handy around the house, tinkering with home related projects, but i never have enough chance to do it, so routing that power wires and adding a power outlet to the wall felt nice to do. For the dashboard part, I ended up going for WallPanel instead of FullyKiosk as a solution for the fullscreen HA, the screensaver, etc. Also, since my Galaxy S5E is rooted, i have added a charging control behavior for it via ACC (Advanced Charging Controller) Magisk module. I keep it charged up to 80%, and having it drop to 20% before starting to charge again. That way i know the battery stays healthy and is not going to swell up being kept at 100% all the time. Thanks for reading up all the way to the end of my tablet wall mount project, if you have any questions i will gladly answer them in the comments. Check out the full photos that i took during the making of all the stuff in my Flickr album, as there are plenty. Most people add just a couple and i just keep wondering what stuff they did in the actual process, and how they did it. I can also share all the STL files if people want to recreate what i did. Take care guys, peace. https://preview.redd.it/qhlvkjz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08a3177bc0079b398d2025d1fa77a0b41709ad4a https://preview.redd.it/y51kqhz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19c399adb219379f5e110e8edd79716e14c4ee58 https://preview.redd.it/nukgijz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=459531adabfb082494a2d432db8618322597120e https://preview.redd.it/t1yd6kz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87666b6388792f7bfe9cdfee323ebe1cd3ea2eab https://preview.redd.it/3ero3jz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0a1254e055391a8b47deef72ec8b65527870e3e https://preview.redd.it/cdabclz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41a6e24177d39b3f443b52f8ea5f9cb8a386a5e9 https://preview.redd.it/nupcwjz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5c2226d93718d2d6ab60ddd00617a34fbfdf930 https://preview.redd.it/2pn70lz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3908f1c2d76b282a35bd18f78ce0b16bdaeec375 https://preview.redd.it/vbgi6lz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c0530422849d1a3fb034c5829d87cb919a16321 https://preview.redd.it/2xgf6lz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36f7c4c697cc0a5e86360f337ebe6ebd9e698bb3 https://preview.redd.it/b61jrlz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67a8fbf07acc975166bb5b65ad52b3d404daeaf0 https://preview.redd.it/h3cckkz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1baaa3d642a61617acc602c96d74ef7523d6422 https://preview.redd.it/tar8dmz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2558ab0c0382720080da5fa6d25650df772176f https://preview.redd.it/odco5x13yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee130996ceb2a6e0ba801155eca55e8a7f5329be https://preview.redd.it/zwrbkmz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33ed73f5e444a27e6811e7f1440c95df65bd9723 https://preview.redd.it/bip2glz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ad865e2b45db56cdd0b9ca96147849bc7a39b67 https://preview.redd.it/uu2f3mz2yv1d1.jpg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3668b870dffc517b832ad89627541773fc37f64 https://preview.redd.it/xj0b5a03yv1d1.jpg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bbbfa8a05c64b7f9c367cc828c0ce18125c5b16 https://preview.redd.it/tmhz8k03yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2eff97011195e1b08d51a4edf3e4ad929bab898 https://preview.redd.it/y5k8fmz2yv1d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bfef3a97e21dfcd75b6fda39889d812d3a725f3d |
2024.05.22 03:53 OrneryOldFart Amazon 3rd party App
Here's what I entered a chat at Amazon with. They switched chat person, then never bothered to answer at all.
Hi Mohit, I have a question regarding the Amazon Music App in 3rd party devices. I have a Bluesound product that I use to stream the Ultra HD and Atmos files to my stupidly expensive audio system. The app that Amazon makes available to them is truly sub standard compared to your own app. I cannot stream the quality I am paying for over Bluetooth so I am forced to use the Bluesound version. It is frustrating, I cannot source Ultra HD unless I search by artist and hope for the best. When will Amazon be releasing a superior version to companies that are licensed to provide your service????
Has anyone heard anything about them upgrading that version of the app?

2024.05.22 03:52 Mimetic-Musing Jesus' Miracles and the DOUBTS filter
Dr. Timothy McGrew came up with a way of filtering credible miracle claims from those not worth investigating. I believe Jesus' earthly miracles pass McGrew's filter.
D.--"D" is for "distance". Claims about events in a faraway land, without the presence of a chain that would preserve transmission, should not be worthy of investigation. However, the gospels were circulated within a lifetime of local eyewitnesses.
O. --"Opinions already established". Essentially, these are political, ideological, or religious justifications of a certain regime or attempts to maintain the status quo. In contrast, Jesus's miracles were sometimes specifically aimed at calling aspects of Jewish law into question. Jesus was very much a cultural revolutionary, dining with sinners and tax collectors.
U.--"Uncertain Events". If there are naturalistic theories available--fraud, trickery, the placebo effect, or simply spontaneous recovery with documented predecessors--these should be called into question. However, when we examine the gospel texts, numerous alleged miracles could not be reproduced by the best magicians today. What is more telling, however, is that the miracle accounts appear very tidy and direct, and served no obvious human motivations.
B.--"Belated Reports". If a miracle claim is made, for the first time, when any eyewitnesses would be dead, then those claims should be dismissed. In contrast, we have multiple lines of evidence for Jesus' miracles. Miracles were also mentioned casually in Paul's writings.
Additionally, compare the miracle accounts in Mark to any other gospel. Future writers were equally likely to take elements of the story away, as they were to add elements.
T. --"Trivial Miracles". These claims are usually about frivolous supernatural activity. The difference between "magick" and "miracles" is that magick is simply a display of power or a manipulation. In contrast, plausible miracles are "signs" at important juncture in religious history. That's very different from using dowsing rods to locate a lost pair of glasses.
S.--"Self-Serving Miracles". Fraudulent miracle workers will fake authenticity, but the rest of their life and behavior exposes them. For example, both Joseph Smith and Mohammed wanted political power and access to many women and girls. They also achieved celebrity status in their lifetime.
In contrast, Jesus' miracles were meant to bring about the Kingdom of God. The gospel writers could have focused on Jesus as a doer of astonishing deeds, but they do not. Often Jesus instructs recipients to keep the miracle a secret.
Moreover, unlike any pagan parallels, Jesus always combined teaching with His miracles. If He was objecting to holiness codes, He would lay His hands on an unclean person. Otherwise, Jesus lead a nomadic life and shows no interest in sexual gratification.
While Jesus acted in God's place, He also would frequently insist that He's doing it through the Father, and for the Father's will. Jesus advocated "The Kingdom of God", but it wasn't a violent revolutionary Kingdom. As He said to Pilot "my Kingdom is not of this world, otherwise my men would fight".
So, Jesus likely lacked every motivator for fraud. He had no interest in money, sex, having good reputation among religious leaders or commoners, or in gaining political power. Finally, Jesus was put to death for His claims--and although it's not admitted by the overwhelming majority, it's highly likely Jesus knew what was going to be the end result.

Finally, Jesus was put to death for His claims--and although it's not admitted by the overwhelming majority, it's highly likely Jesus knew what was going to be the end result.

Repairs: None / Has Limited Warranty that expires December 2024
iPad is in excellent condition, no scratches or dinks to be seen
Combo Touch was purchased February 2024, rarely used, only used to type long paragraphs during arguments while texting.
Apple Pencil 2 was used once for about 10 minutes and then I realized I can’t draw to save my life so I haven’t picked it up since.

2024.05.22 03:50 Certain-Ad-5349 Comparing the DWP festivals
I've been to Sonic Temple, Welcome to Rockville, Inkcarceration and Louder Than Life several times each and here are my thoughts.
All are great for different reasons, this is just my opinion, so don't tear me apart. I'll rank them.

All are great for different reasons, this is just my opinion, so don't tear me apart. I'll rank them.
- Louder Than Life. Always a top line up and FANTASTIC setup. The grounds are setup perfectly with tons of room to roam, but not too far apart. Lining up stages 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 in the double stage setup is absolutely perfect. Louisville has tons to do outside the venue. Takes place in September, so the weather is "usually" cooler. Great sports tent to catch up on NFL and college football. Tons of parking and access to hotels
- Sonic Temple. Probably places 3rd in lineup. The stadium setup provides plenty of seating to take a rest. The venue is easy to walk around as it's compact, but there can be some sound bleed between the stages. Columbus is an absolute gem of a place to visit. Takes place in May, usually fantastic weather, however you can almost bet one day will be heavy rain/ lightning delay. Easy parking and access to hotels. Has access to normal bathrooms if Porta Johns freak you out.
- Rockville. Normally second best line up, but this year was hands down the best. Its Florida in May, it's going to be blazing hot, and likely heavy storms/lightning delays. The speedway is a cool venue, but I think they fail to use it to it's potential, and the layout is weird. There is way to much wasted space between the main stages. The dust is outta control! Plenty of parking and hotels. Tons to do just minutes from the beach.
- Ink. Usually has the weakest and heaviest line up. It's got the best location once your inside; its right outside the Shawshank prison. Entertainment outside the festival is extremely limited; it takes place in rural Ohio. Limited hotels, but plenty of parking. Weather can be brutally hot in July.
2024.05.22 03:50 nilayj Morse Code, Polish, "At I", and Crypts (This is a Continuation/Part 2)
This is a continuation of my work (making a new post instead of a bigger wall of text, previous posts url: Translating to German and then Flipping : KryptosK4 (reddit.com))
Hello, I did some more work and seem to think I have figured something definitive out (which might not have been a question to begin with in the first place).
So my mind couldn't stop thinking about "AT I", which I derived out previously. Adding to my rush was another post made by another user on codes (url: Thoughts on Kryptos : codes (reddit.com)) mentioning IOCs (Index of Coincidence), which has the same acronym as IOC (International Olympic Committee), which is something I figured out may be tied to BERLIN CLOCK beforehand. Maybe something regarding Index of Coincidence needs to be used with K4. In turn, this may indirectly strengthens "AT I" being something real too.
In short, I wanted to focus more on "at I". So I began to think, seeing if it is actually an encryption key and/or a clue. What I found is interesting. When Mr. Sanborn gave his first clue in 2010, he only revealed Berlin, nothing else. Then later he revealed Clock. The placement of the words, and the timing of it seems to indicate that these two are related of course, but maybe more so than we previously thought.
Here is the an overlay of the Kryptos text, with the plain text below. The spacing is to keep the two words separate and thus easier to see what I will write below.
NYPVTT MZFPK
BERLIN CLOCK
Now what I noticed is that for Berlin, the first "T" leads to an "I", and the second "T" leads to an "N". Now I don't exactly know how I formulated this out, but the first "T" I imagined to be related to "AT I". It just kinda felt right. But then I connected this with "T is your position" and thought position is actually related to abscissa (note I later learned it doesn't need to be), and went to the right side keyed Vigenère, and using "T" as the abscissa and "A" as the other index for the vertical, I found it gives me "N".
Now, this all likely still isn't enough to be proof that "AT I" is valid phrase that should be looked into, but more proof is building for it. This next thing however really is interesting.
I wondered if instead of code per say, should "AT I" be taken literally. As in "at 'I'". With this, I used the Vigenère (I am gonna call it Vinny from now on), and found there are two diagonals consisting of "I"'s. Now I feel like I have found something incredible. For the top portion "I" line in Vinny, I traced its endpoint in both directions, and saw two "Q"'s at each end. Yep. And then when I again applied Q being one coordinate, and K being the other (last Kryptos letter for CLOCK) I saw it end up at "K" again.
It's not over. Then I saw in Vinny something I had already seen before hand, now I see in the Wikipedia article too. Vinny is an optical illusion. "BETWEEN SUBTLE SHADING AND THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT LIES THE NUANCE OF IQLUSION" Note the "I" leads into the "Q" for K1. Note how at least in the Wikipedia article, above the "I" line is "subtle shading" and below it is "the absence of light" that is the "MNQ" wall...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now this isn't absolute proof that "AT I" is in fact a legitimate thing. For starters, the Wikipedia article has black text. Kryptos actually will be yellow or white text, as the light shines into and through the letters. But we can apply the logic of inversing the colors as another "flip" per say, and even more so even with white text on black backgrounding, the optical illusion exists, and "I" leading to "Q" matches. Also this use of Vinny only applies to BERLIN CLOCK right now. I did try to apply this for EAST NORTHEAST, but I couldn't find any bigger patterns or proof. But I don't think it is needed. BERLIN CLOCK was stated long before EAST NORTHEAST, that the timing is suspect, making me think BERLIN CLOCK is its own thing, and a frequency of two is enough, especially with other things considered. I think we can trust this is what ABC was supposed to lead to as well.
So... yeah. I feel that gives a lot of validity to "AT I", and also my previous work in regard to that. But I wasn't done yet and found one last thing, bringing further proof that the Swedish Dodo is actually legitimate.
"T IS YOUR POSITION E" is strange. It can be just taken at face value, or as commonly thought "WHAT IS YOUR POSITION E" rather. I also added to that by stating it maybe "IT IS YOUR POSITION E". Well, focusing on "T is" rather than the next two variants, I happened to see one last thing in Vinny. The first row has an "E". Below that, is a "T". "T IS YOUR POSITION E" is actually a question we are sending to his holiness, KING TUT. So basically, in my last post I realized that the Morse Code has a joke where in a sense King Tut, who's discovery is stated in K3, is actually trying to communicate with us. Well, turns out, in Vinny, the "T" below the "E" (the "E" being an abscissa) is actually the last letter in the first portion of the second line, that matters.
"AKRYPT"
aka. "A KRYPT!"
Yep. It's right there. Now, I may have at least had some subconscious and reddit help. See, in this very subreddit, of which I still a very new part, there is one pinned post for the all the letters in K4. However, underneath it, is a unique comment. Only one, by u/Infinite_Force1227.
"Tosa tosa tosa tosa"
I have no idea what plane this person is thinking on. Maybe he is the legendary man who responded to Steve Harvey's "Pork", with "Upine", but holy moly (I wanna avoid curse words), but below the "T" of "A KRYPT" is in fact TOSA. I don't know how... But at least the ABC does in fact match with TOS, thus indicating a kinda bridge present, and filling it in gives of course King Tut letting us know where he is you know.
Now, here is the final dash of sprinkles. KRYPT is technically Polish for crypt. Google translate to the rescue again. But as mentioned, there are two clocks (technically more) in Berlin. One, the true Berlin Clock, and the other, the World Clock itself. The world clock has a compass at the bottom. Going EAST NORTHEAST gets you too POLAND.
So there isn't just German involved here, but also definitely Polish, and very likely Swedish. That did bug me as to why the Dodo was Dront, but now I know. Anyhow, this is my progress so far. If you have read this far, then thank you.

2024.05.22 03:49 CulturalWoodpecker15 Criteria for the on-road driving test?
Tomorrow is day 3 of my training, and I have to pass the on-the-road test to be hired.
Today we practiced with the electric vans and it felt really weird to me since I'm not used to driving large vehicles or electric ones.
Wondering if there's a list of criteria anywhere they grade on? I don't wanna get caught on some BS rules.

2024.05.22 03:48 Far-Meal174 How are you supposed to land opportunities in college?
I graduated from college, and I didn’t get much from the last four years. I felt I wasted my tuition. I got rejected from every club, didn’t get good grades despite using every academic support available at my university, and couldn’t land any research or internship positions. I am now graduating with nothing and no jobs. What was I supposed to do differently?

2024.05.22 03:47 Queasy-Committee-775 My brain and heart are not on the same page, scam?
Dog rescue adoption. Sad story, owner died, new family didn’t work out. We’re looking for a dog and this fits the bill. We completed paperwork and were approved! There is a $400 adoption fee and they can have the dog delivered to us tomorrow.
To pay the fee, they wanted to know if I used Apple Pay. Yes, I do at businesses. I asked them to send me an invoice and I’ll pay it. Instead I got a phone number to send money to and to send a screen shot of the payment screen. I’ve never used Apple Cash to send money so I did some research about Apple Cash and my “spidey senses” started tingling. I asked the rescuer to send me a different way to pay (with a credit card) and they texted me twice for $400 from two different numbers with a link that “appears” to be Apple Cash. These two numbers are different from the first number sent. I don’t click on links I don’t know, so I haven’t done anything. I decided this might be a scam so I told the person no, that I hope they find a good family for the dog. They’re now offering to send me the tracking info when they ship the dog tomorrow and then I can pay via Apple Cash. This is the part that my heart is troubled with. The brain says NO…the heart wants the dog and why would they give an easily traced number if they weren’t legit??? So please, Scam Experts, is this a scam? Can it be legit? How would this work with shipping? Dog is about 500 miles away, we could go down and pick it up, I proposed that but so far they haven’t responded that our picking the dog up would be fine. Also, all communication has been via Messenger…except the emailed adoption form, if that matters. Now that I’ve typed this out it sounds too weird for me, but “could” be legit??? Thanks.
