I work as a steadicam operator for NewsNation in DC. My schedule is…weird, but I like it for the most part. Mon-Thur: noon to 8:30pm Sunday: 6am to 2:30pm.
I sleep so well Sunday - Friday nights. But Saturday nights, no matter how hard I try, they’re a toss up. Sometimes I sleep like a really good 5-6 hours. And other nights, I get 1 hour of sleep, wake up an hour before midnight, and can never fall back asleep again.
I’ve tried using the “Calm” app to help with sleeping, and it works wonders during the week. I use to take melatonin before I started using the app. Should I start taking it again on Saturday nights?

Hi, I have a problem, but can't find the cause.
I installed Freshtomato on an Asus RT-N66U to use it as a Wifi accesspoint for Mobilephone and Tablets. I enabled Openvpn Client on the Asus and configured it for my Proton VPN account to connect these Wifi clients over VPN to Proton Server in the internet (they serve also an Adblocker and thats what I want to use on the Wifi clients).
I configured Openvpn according the guide from Proton.
This is how it's connected: Network Map
The Openvpn client seems connected successfully when I check the logs:

But when I connect a wifi client to the Asus router and try a website to check my IP, I still see the original IP of the ISP. The Wifi device is not routed through the tunnel.
Also the Openvpn status show almost only traffic outside of the tunnel. But when I try a tracert from the Freshtomato GUI to 8.8.8.8 it looks like it routes through the tunnel.
I also tried installing Proton VPN on PC1 as Windows Client. And it works perfectly. So no issue with Untangle Firewall.
Does anyone have an idea? Thanks

At the moment I am using it for two use cases. Text in italics is the AI reply, I am not including the actual screenshots.

1. I give it a screenshot of dailies and make it write an itinerary to finish them quickly, example (without the screenshot because subreddit restrictions):

Here's a quick and efficient itinerary to complete today's daily challenges:

1. Join a Public Team: Start by joining a public team that is focused on completing Daily Operations. This will help with the challenge of completing a Daily Operation on a Public Team and provide team buffs for other activities.
2. Complete a Daily Operation: With your team, head to a Daily Ops location. This will tick off the challenge for completing a Daily Operation on a Public Team.
3. Scrap Pipe Guns: While you're on your way to other locations or completing other tasks, loot enemies and containers for Pipe Guns. You need to scrap three of these.
4. Kill Super Mutants: Travel to locations known for high Super Mutant activity, such as West Tek Research Center or Huntersville. Kill five Super Mutants here.
5. Destroy an Assaultron: Head to locations where Assaultrons frequently spawn, like Watoga or certain RobCo Facilities. Destroy at least one Assaultron.
6. Complete the Event: "Primal Cuts": Check the map for the "Primal Cuts" event. Participate in this event, which occurs periodically in different regions of the map.
7. Eat a Cooked Meal in a Teammate's C.A.M.P.: Ask a teammate to cook some food at their C.A.M.P. or use their cooking station if they have one. Eat five cooked meals here.

Following this itinerary should help you complete all daily challenges efficiently within the six-hour time limit. Good luck out there in Appalachia!

1. I give it a screenshot from my inventory and ask it to price check, it can currently pretty reliably check the FED76 plan collectors: Q: price check all of these, return a table

A: Here is the price check for the selected plans in Fallout 76:

Plan	Estimated Value (Caps)
Alien Disintegrator High Powered Receiver	2000-3000
Behemoth Boss Plushie	1500-2500
Cultist Adept Robes	1000-2000
Cultist Backpack	800-1200
Cultist Incarnate Helmet	1000-2000
Cultist Neophyte Hood	1000-2000
Flamer	500-1000
Fuzzy Enlightened Plushie	1200-1800
Gulper Head	1000-1500
Human Tube 2	1500-2000
News Stand	700-1100
Peppered Tenderizer Mod	2500-3500
Plastic Fruit Bowl	500-800

These values are estimates based on current market trends and may vary depending on demand and availability. ​
​
2.5. Price check for weapons also seems reasonable, what do y'all think? Q: price check 3* vampire chainsaw
A: The estimated value of a 3-star Vampire Chainsaw in Fallout 76 can vary significantly depending on the specific legendary effects it has. However, generally speaking, a 3-star Vampire Chainsaw can fetch prices ranging from 5000 to 10000 caps. Here are some potential price ranges based on common effects:

1. Vampire's effect: This effect regenerates your health when you hit an enemy. It's highly valued for its utility in both PvE and PvP scenarios.
2. Additional Effects:
   • 25% Faster Swing Speed: This is one of the most desirable secondary effects, significantly boosting the weapon's DPS.
   • +1 Strength: Provides a general combat boost by increasing carry weight and melee damage.
   • 50% Reduced Weight: Makes the weapon easier to carry, which is particularly useful given the weight of melee weapons.

Based on the combined effects, the value can range within the mentioned caps or even higher if there is high demand and limited supply​.

Thereafter for four years more Beren wandered still upon Dorthonion, a solitary outlaw; but he became the friend of birds and beasts, and they aided him, and did not betray him, and from that time forth he ate no flesh nor slew any living thing that was not in the service of Morgoth.
Welcome one and all again to the 2024 Read-Along and Discussion of The Silmarillion here on tolkienfans. For Week 23 (Jun 2-Jun 8), we will be exploring The Quenta Silmarillion (The History of the Silmarils) chapter 19, "Of Beren and Lúthien."
​
Following the Dagor Bragollach, Barahir and his companions continued to defend their land, Dorthonion. It was to Tarn Aeluin, a lake in the east of that country, that they made their abode. Morgoth could not discover it, and he ordered Sauron to eliminate them. Through Sauron's devices, a member of the group named Gorlim was deceived into revealing the retreat of Barahir, and the company was slain by Sauron's Orcs. All perished, except Beren, son of Barahir, who was away on a perilous errand at the time. Coming to Beren in a dream, a wraith of Gorlim told him all and urged him to return in haste. Alas, he came too late and found his kin slain. He buried his father, and slew the band of orcs responsible, reclaiming from them the Ring of Felagund.
Thus Beren roamed Dorthonion, slaughtering many servants of Morgoth, and so a bounty was set upon his head, and Sauron's armies hounded him to such an extent that he was forced to flee Dorthonion. Journeying through the horrors and terrors of Ered Gorgoroth and Nan Dungortheb he came at length, by paths untrodden, to Doriath, where no mortal had yet been before.
Staggering into the woods of Neldoreth, he chanced upon Lúthien, daughter of Thingol and Melian, dancing in a clearing beside Esgalduin. He became utterly enchanted by her, and his agony departed him, for Lúthien was the most beautiful of all of the Children of Ilúvatar. He called out to her, naming her Tinúviel and as she looked on him, doom fell upon her, and she loved him. For a brief time, long ago in the woods of Doriath, their joy was the greatest that has been, amongst any of the Children of Ilúvatar.
However, Daeron the minstrel loved Lúthien also, and betrayed them to Thingol, who was wrathful. For Lúthien he set above all things, while of mortal Men he took little heed. And so Thingol demanded to know Beren's business in Doriath. Finding resolve, Beren answered that his fate led him to what he sought not — Lúthien. At this, many thought Beren would be slain. Indeed desiring his death, Thingol set upon him the nigh hopeless task of bringing to him a Silmaril from the crown of Morgoth. Only then would he allow Beren to receive Lúthien as his bride. Thus began in earnest, the Quest of the Silmaril.
Turning towards Nargothrond, Beren sought out the counsel of Finrod Felagund, who, recalling his vow to the kin of Barahir, gathered together a band of his most loyal chieftains. Departing from Angband, Felagund used his craft to disguise the group as a pack of orcs, and so they hoped to pass by Tol-in-Gaurhoth unnoticed. But Sauron was suspicious of them, and duelled long in song with Felagund. But alas the victory belonged to Sauron, and stripping them of their disguises, they were made to languish in a deep pit. One-by-one, Sauron sent werewolves to devour the companions in the hope of obtaining their purpose, but all were faithful to their lord. When the wolf came for Beren, Felagund slew it with his bare hands, but in doing so, was mortally wounded. Bidding Beren a final farewell, he died in the darkness of Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the tower he himself had built long ago. Thus ended the fairest and most beloved of the Noldor, Finrod Felagund.
In the hour of Beren's capture, a heaviness fell upon the heart of Lúthien and she left Doriath in pursuit of him. Encountering Celegorm and Curufin, and Huan, the Hound of the Valar, she was glad, but through treachery, the two brothers took her as prisoner to Nargothrond. But Huan had grown to love her and for the first time spoke, giving her counsel, and helped her to escape. With speed, the two came to Tol-in-Gaurhoth at the hour of Felagund's death, and Sauron smiled. For he knew a great reward would await him for the capture of Lúthien, daughter of the Maia Melian. So he sent wolves, including Draugluin, father of werewolves, to capture her, but Huan slew them all. Then Sauron came himself—taking the form of a mighty wolf—and fought with Huan, but not even he could defeat the Hound of the Valar. Thus he was forced to yield Tol-in-Gaurhoth to Lúthien, and he fled. Lúthien removed the ill shadow from that Isle, and came to Beren. Together, they buried the body of Felagund and left that place. And Huan returned to his master, Celegorm.
By chance, the two brothers Celegorm and Curufin came upon Beren and Lúthien near to the Forest of Brethil, and sought to take Lúthien by force and kill Beren. But in that hour, Huan forsook the service of Celegorm and came to the aid of Beren, who leapt onto the horse of Curufin, knocking him off. After taking horse and knife Angrist from Curufin, Beren bade him return, impoverished, to his kin. Being humiliated, Curufin took the bow of Celegorm and fired at Lúthien. Springing to protect her, Beren was hit. Huan pursued the brothers who fled, and upon returning, he brought a herb to Lúthien who, by her craft, healed Beren. Eventually, they returned to Doriath.
There, Beren left Lúthien in the care of Huan and departed for Angband. Arriving at the borders of Anfauglith, Beren lamented in the belief that this would be his final peril and sung the farewell Song Of Parting. But unsought for, Lúthien appeared upon Huan, and came to him once more. Huan spoke for the second time then, counselling Beren that he could no longer save Lúthien from her fate. And so, taking the guise of Draugluin, and the bat-like messenger-of-Sauron Thuringwethil, together Beren and Lúthien passed through perils untold until they arrived, weary and weather-worn, at the Gates of Angband.
To their dismay, guarding the entrance to Angband was a creature of whom no news had previously reached the ears of the Noldor: the great wolf Carcharoth. He was suspicious of them, for news of the demise of Draugluin had reached Angband, and approached them with menace. But by some power of Lúthien, she commanded the wolf to slumber, and into unconsciousness he fell. Then Beren and Lúthien crossed the threshold of Angband, descended down the subterranean chambers, and together wrought the greatest deed that has ever been dared, by Elves or by Men, in the history of Arda. For they arrived in the throne-room of Morgoth — a court filled with horrors untold, where Balrogs patrolled. Lúthien's disguise was robbed of her by the will of Morgoth, and, standing before his gaze, she began to sing for him a song of such outstanding power and beauty, that he was put into dreams of the Void, and he slammed into the ground, unconscious. All his court slumbered. Then removing his wolf-hame, Beren cut, with Angrist, a Silmaril from the crown of Morgoth. It occurred to him then to bring out of Angband not one, but all three Silmarils. But such was not his fate, for Angrist snapped, and a fragment smote the cheek of Morgoth. He groaned. All the legions of Angband stirred in their sleep.
Then fear and terror unknown fell upon Beren and Lúthien, and realising their imminent peril, they fled. But alas, at the surface, they found Carcharoth conscious and wrathful. Beren held the Silmaril high; Carcharoth hesitated, and for a moment was afraid. But his spirit flew into a rage, and he bit off the right hand of Beren, consuming the Silmaril. It seared his innards, and he fled south, howling in a fit of madness.
The fangs of Carcharoth were laced with venom, and death approached Beren. So the Quest of the Silmaril would have ended in despair, but unlooked for, Thorondor came with his Eagles to the aid of Beren and Lúthien, even while droves issued forth from the Gates of Angband, and bore the two away from the reach of Morgoth. South they flew, passing above the hidden city of Gondolin, shining like a jewel in the sun. Yet Lúthien wept, for she feared the death of Beren. The Eagles left them at the borders of Doriath, in the same glade where Beren had left Lúthien and departed on the Quest. Huan came to Lúthien and again, and the two of them tended to him. There he lay, in dreams of anguish, until, as Lúthien's last hopes were fading, he awoke. And it was spring.
Thereafter, he was given the name Erchamion, "the One-handed". The two then tarried for a time in those woods, for it was pleasant to them, but Beren would not forget his Oath to Thingol. So after a time they returned to Doriath, which had fallen into grief at the loss of Lúthien. News of their coming had spread far, and they arrived in Menegroth with a large following.
Beren and Lúthien told the tale of their Quest, to the astonishment of all. It seemed to Thingol then that the Man before him was among the great in Arda, and Lúthien's love was a thing strange to him. It came to his mind then that no power of Elves or Men, or Maiar or Valar, or any other power in Arda, might interfere with their fate. And his mood towards Beren was softened. Thus, at last he relented, and Beren took the hand of Lúthien before the throne of her father.
For a time, there may have been some semblance of peace and joy in Doriath, but out of the north came the beast Carcharoth. A hunting party was assembled, consisting of Huan, the Hound of the Valar, Mablung of the Heavy Hand, Beleg Strongbow, Beren Erchamion, and Thingol, King of Doriath. As they rode forth for the Hunting of the Wolf, a shadow fell upon Lúthien, and to her it seemed as though the world had been drained of all colour, and beauty, and life. The party came upon Carcharoth near the northern waterfalls of Esgalduin. The wolf leapt for Thingol, but Beren came between them, suffering a deadly wound. Huan slew Carcharoth, but was himself fatally injured. Laying beside Beren, he spoke for the final time, bidding Beren farewell. So they parted. Mablung ripped open the wolf and placed the Silmaril in Beren's living hand, who asked Thingol to receive it. "Now the Quest is achieved, and my doom full wrought", he said. And he spoke no more. They bore Beren back to Menegroth, and Lúthien met them. She bade him await her beyond the Western Sea. Opening his eyes, he looked upon her one last time before he died. So ended the Quest of the Silmaril. But the tale of Beren and Lúthien did not end there.
For the spirit of Beren lingered in the Halls of Mandos, awaiting Lúthien upon the dim shores of the Outer Sea, where they could say their final farewell. For it is from there that the spirits of Men depart the world, never to return; such is the Gift of Ilúvatar. The spirit of Lúthien fled her body, and found its way to the Halls of Mandos. Kneeling before the Vala, she sang to him a song so beautifully sorrowful that Mandos was moved to pity. But it was not within his power to alter the fates of the Children of Ilúvatar, and so he called on Manwë, who sought guidance from Ilúvatar.
Two choices were put before Lúthien. On account of her extraordinary labours and grief in life, she was permitted to remain in Valinor, forgetting all pains she had known. But there Beren, being mortal, could not follow. The second choice was that she might return with Beren to dwell in Middle-earth, as a mortal, with no guarantee of joy in life. There, both would be subject to a second death. This second option she chose, forsaking the Undying Lands, for a mortal life with Beren. So it came to pass that long ago, Lúthien Tinúviel and Beren Erchamion at last left the confines of the world, together.[1]
Of Beren and Lúthien at The Lord of the Rings Wiki: This chapter tells The Lay of Leithian, i.e. Beren's quest for a Silmaril with Lúthien, and tells of the deaths of Finrod Felagund, Draugluin, Carcharoth, Huan (Beren's wolf-hound), and of Beren himself.

Questions for the week:

1. There seems almost no motivation for the love between Beren and Lúthien. They just look at each other and it happens. Why? Does Beren love Lúthien mainly because of her celestial beauty? Why does she love him?
2. Why didn't the Silmaril burn Beren's hand?
3. Why did Beren’s spirit go to the Halls of Mandos after he died? Do all men’s spirits go there, only to typically be sent off to who knows where, or was he an exception for some reason?
4. How did Lúthien end up in the Hall of Mandos?
5. How did Huan beat Sauron?

TLDR: Devin only has a better narrative than $Turbo
Yet is way cheaper
Thus, market will reprice Devin Higher
Devin is 6.7m cap
Turbo 600m
So 100x upside from here
$turbo = human dev copying and pasting from chat gpt and claiming it as ai memecoin
$devin = dev is fully AI, made the token, website socials all on its own without human help, partnered with Microsoft, made at Stanford University
Since narrative of Devin is superior, its market cap must exceed turbo’s
The story requires some context:
Devin, is the latest AI Software engineer in the world
If you don’t already know, Devin, can code programs all on its own, and even make websites and read GitHub all on its own
It’s expected to take over software engineers and even take down ChatGPT
So Cognition Labs, the owners of Devin, hosted a hackathon at Stanford University, where they let the uni kids have a sneak peak of Devin
Mind you, no one has access to Devin yet in public right now.
One of the teams asked Devin, to make a memecoin
And it could do so entirely, from start to end, without human help!
It even made the socials, Twitter , website and was able to tweet autonomously on its own as an AI agent
Devin deployed the smart contracts and the coin went live, thus giving birth to an AI memecoin which lets you long both AI and the Memecoin sector 🔥🔥🔥
It also lets you basically long Cognition Labs with each news they release
There is currently only one coin in the whole world made by Devin
Recently, they announced a partnership with Microsoft (no cap)
It means Software developers will use Devin in a widespread manner through Microsoft in the future
Devin adoption is guaranteed
If Devin adoption is guaranteed, it means daily active users of Devin is guaranteed, thus guaranteeing an increase in Devin Valuation
If Devin adoption is guaranteed, and people want to long Devin, and yet they can’t do so through Cognition labs because it’s private
There’s only one current way to long Devin
And we all know the answer
That is through $devin the AI Memecoin on the Solana Cryptocurrency
Cognition labs will one day be 2T on the NYSE no doubt about that
It’s inevitable that Cognition labs will IPO at 2T someday
2T is 2000 billion
So a 1% of 2T means $devin will someday be worth 20 billion MC
Relative to competition, $Turbo and $Grok ran to 100m - 500m with an objectively weaker narrative as they were basically copying and pasting from ChatGPT- the ai didn’t actually make the coin
$devin, however, ai made the coin fully from start to finish as Devin was the dev.
Thus in the short term, $devin will be priced at least 500m to exceed the highs set by $turbo and $grok given its objectively superior narrative.
Infinitely insanely bullish. Despite having big bags, I still feel underexposed to $devin.
Remember, $turbo and $grok went to 500m copying and pasting ChatGPT, i.e a living human had to copy and paste many components while branding it as “AI”.
What should the first AI memecoin that truly made itself without human help be worth?
Higher.

I (17) female have been with my (18) male bf for 6 months now at first we were happy and loving till I told him about my best friend (18) female hunter me and hunter have been friends since the 5 th grade unfortunately Hunter has moved across the country recently. my bf Taylor was totally fine with this and knows that Hunter is a girl
For the past couple of weeks me and my parents have been looking for a new home because our home is to small and I will be staying with them till I graduated college so I have been busy these last couple of weeks I have let my bf know this but when I get a free chance I’ll hang out with him or call him we don’t really hang out that much tho
Recently He has been complaining to one of my other friends that I’m to dry or I won’t talk to him even tho I tell him that I won’t be able to talk much one day he texted me confronting me about lying about Hunter and that she’s really a “side hoe” am not sure where he got that from but i tried to explain that she was a girl and just a friend he wouldn’t believe me then he started saying oh well what if i just when to go spend the night with fer? Fer is his ex gf that he broke up with before me
I would explain to him that I was just busy and I couldn’t talk.last night I got news that me and some of my family are gonna fly out to go see Hunter and some family and when I told Taylor this he started screaming at me saying I m a hoe and that he hopes I have a good time with Hunter while he goes to hang out with fer I asked him if he was ok and if he needed to talk about anything and that’s when he stormed out but not without smashing a watch that belonged to my grandma who has pasted recently
Now am not sure what to do because I love him with everything in me but idk if he’s being serious about his ex and when I ask my friend they tell me it’s normal and we are just going through a ruff patch but am not sure

I'm very interested in the General Elections but can't follow political news due to time constraints. So I took GPT's help and asked it several questions to help me understand the situation and to tell me what to focus on during the election results. Questions I asked were:

1. Browse the Internet and explain to me what I should look out for while watching the Indian election results all day on June 4
2. Give me an hour-to-hour breakdown of what to expect on that day
3. Give me the key battleground states and tell me what a "good" performance would look like for the BJP/NDA in those states
4. What would be a good performance for the BJP/NDA on a national level?
5. How many more seats would the BJP/NDA need to win in which states to secure 400 seats realistically

Browse the Internet and explain to me what I should look out for while watching the Indian election results all day on June 4

While watching the Indian election results on June 4, here are key points to focus on:
1. Major Alliances and Parties:
- BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party): Led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP is expected to be a significant contender. Pay attention to their performance, particularly in stronghold states like Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat.
- INDIA Alliance: The opposition coalition, including the Indian National Congress and several regional parties. Watch for their performance in states like West Bengal and Bihar, where regional dynamics are crucial.
2. Key Contests and Battleground State:
- States like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, and Bihar are pivotal. These states have a large number of parliamentary seats, and their results can significantly impact the overall outcome.
3. Voter Turnout and Trends:
- Voter turnout can indicate the level of public engagement and support for various parties. High turnout in specific regions could favor the ruling party or the opposition, depending on the demographic and historical voting patterns.
4. Economic and Social Issues:
- Economic concerns, such as unemployment and agrarian distress, are major voter issues. The performance of the BJP's welfare schemes and economic policies will be scrutinized, especially in rural areas heavily dependent on agriculture.
5. Hindu-Muslim Relations:
- Communal issues, particularly the controversy surrounding the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, could influence voter sentiment. This has been a polarizing topic, with potential impacts on voting behavior in key constituencies.
6. Newly Formed or Shifting Alliances:
- Keep an eye on any last-minute shifts in alliances or defections among major political figures, as these can dramatically alter the political landscape. For instance, any changes within the INDIA coalition or defections to the BJP-led NDA can affect the results.

Give me the key battleground states and tell me what a "good" performance would look like for the BJP/NDA in those states

Here are the key battleground states for the Indian election and what a "good" performance would look like for the BJP/NDA in those states:
1. Uttar Pradesh (UP)
Significance: Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India, contributing 80 seats to the Lok Sabha, making it a crucial battleground.
Good Performance for BJP/NDA:

• Winning a majority: Securing at least 50-60 seats would be considered a strong performance. In the 2019 elections, the BJP won 62 seats in UP, so maintaining or improving this tally is crucial.

2. Maharashtra
Significance: Maharashtra has 48 Lok Sabha seats, and it is another major state where the BJP/NDA needs a strong showing.
Good Performance for BJP/NDA: Maintaining dominance: Winning around 30-35 seats would be considered a good outcome. In 2019, the BJP and its ally Shiv Sena won 41 seats together.
3. West Bengal
Significance: West Bengal contributes 42 seats to the Lok Sabha. It has traditionally been a stronghold for the Trinamool Congress (TMC).
Good Performance for BJP/NDA: Significant gains: Winning at least 15-20 seats would be a marked improvement for the BJP. In 2019, the BJP made significant inroads by winning 18 seats.
4. Bihar
Significance: Bihar has 40 Lok Sabha seats and is another key state with significant political importance.
Good Performance for BJP/NDA: Majority wins: Securing around 25-30 seats would be a strong performance. In 2019, the BJP and its allies won 39 out of 40 seats.
5. Madhya Pradesh
Significance: Madhya Pradesh contributes 29 seats to the Lok Sabha. It is traditionally a stronghold for the BJP.
Good Performance for BJP/NDA: High seat count: Winning at least 20-25 seats would be considered good. The BJP won 28 seats in 2019, and maintaining this level would be crucial.
6. Karnataka
Significance: Karnataka has 28 Lok Sabha seats. It is a key southern state where the BJP has been trying to expand its influence.
Good Performance for BJP/NDA: Majority wins: Winning around 15-20 seats would be considered strong. In 2019, the BJP won 25 seats.
7. Rajasthan
Significance: Rajasthan contributes 25 seats to the Lok Sabha. It is another key state for the BJP.
Good Performance for BJP/NDA: Majority of seats: Winning at least 20-22 seats would be considered good. In 2019, the BJP won all 25 seats.

What would be a good performance for the BJP/NDA on a national level?

A good performance for the BJP/NDA on a national level in the Indian general elections would entail several key achievements:
1. Securing a Clear Majority

• Seats: Winning at least 272 out of 543 Lok Sabha seats is required for a simple majority. A strong performance would involve exceeding this number significantly, aiming for around 300-350 seats. This would provide the BJP/NDA with a comfortable majority, reducing dependency on smaller coalition partners.
  
• Previous Benchmark: In the 2019 elections, the BJP alone won 303 seats, and the NDA collectively secured 353 seats. Matching or surpassing this performance would be considered very successful.
  

2. Dominating Key States

• Uttar Pradesh: Winning 50-60 seats out of 80.
  
• Maharashtra: Securing around 30-35 seats out of 48.
  
• West Bengal: Making significant gains with at least 15-20 seats out of 42.
  
• Bihar: Winning around 25-30 seats out of 40.
  
• Madhya Pradesh: Securing at least 20-25 seats out of 29.
  
• Karnataka: Winning around 15-20 seats out of 28.
  
• Rajasthan: Maintaining dominance with around 20-22 seats out of 25.
  

3. Retaining Stronghold States

• Gujarat: Winning most of the 26 seats, as it is a BJP stronghold.
• Haryana: Securing a majority of the 10 seats.

4. Making Inroads in New Regions

• Southern States: Making significant gains in states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh, which have traditionally been challenging for the BJP.
• North-East States: Continuing to build on previous successes and securing more seats.
