2024.05.22 02:10 alorak9105 I stripped a bolt in my transmission in the WORST PLACE POSSIBLE. Is it fixable?
Hey guys I was trying to take out the bolt on my new transmission I got over seas. I wanted to take out the transfer case because this'd allow me to not drop the sub frame when making the swap. However this bolt is like a foot down in the tube and it's stripped all the way. I know you can screw it out but that feels like going in and preforming surgery blind to me. I could also take apart the part but I am afraid if I do it's going to start leaking everywhere. Is there literally any ideas on what I should do? (btw this is my boyfriends car he is currently very frustrated and I am writing this reddit posts in hopes I can help so if something doesn't make sense that's why) its a a 026 speed if that helps. he says it's a one off kind with a transfer case.

2024.05.22 01:47 anneofgraygardens Phone/antenna not working properly, would appreciate opinions
Hi people. I have a Pixel 5 that i bought refurbished about a year ago. When I got it, I was super happy with it but after a few months, it stopped working with my cell network (T-Mobile). It connects and disconnects from the cell network constantly. I went to T-Mobile and they replaced my SIM card, which fixed the issue for a couple weeks, but then the problem came back.
This entire time, wifi worked fine. No issues. I haven't replaced the phone because I'm usually at home or the office. I can also reboot the internet manually on my phone, which will get it to reconnect for T-Mobile, at least for awhile (by which I mean like, five minutes. Then it starts disconnecting and reconnecting again.)
I brought the phone back to T-Mobile and told them the SIM replacement didn't permanently fix it and they didn't have any other suggestions. I brought it to a phone repair guy and told him what was going on and he told me that it sounds like the antenna is broken and would cost more money to fix than the phone is worth. That was pretty recent and I've procrastinated on resolving it during this time because again, it works fine with wifi and I usually have a wifi connection. I LIKED this phone and want it to work, I guess.
Anyway, I obviously have wifi calling set up on my phone but I just tried to make a call and it won't go through - it keeps saying that it can't find a connection. I am at home and the wifi signal is fine. The phone can use other apps without issue. Also, I have bars on my phone but it says no T-Mobile connection. '
tldr:
Refurbished Pixel 5
Connects to wifi but constantly disconnecting to cell network
can't make calls even though wifi calling is on and connected
bars but no connection

2024.05.22 01:42 BrotherBattleFist My Two 1000 point Warbands: SMG-Heavy Naval Raider Warband and Heavy-Gunline New Antioch
So I have two rosters of models I'm working on. One is a Heretic Legion Naval Raiding Party and The other is a New Antioch List.
The Naval Raider list is as follows:
Heretic Priest with Heavy Armor, Trench Shield, Pistol, and Sword for 149. The with his tough trait he becomes nearly impossible to kill and his pistol and sword make him very threatening in close combat and enables him to move up to help his infiltrators and anyone moving forward.
Death Commando with Tartarus Claws and Pistol. He is just a nasty MF in general and if he can charge the right target he will wreak havoc early game with infiltrate.
Anointed with Machine Gun and Shovel for 160. The Machine gun is an absolute beast in this game. Three attack actions with 3 attacks each action. With a shovel you can start him out of cover and still gain the benefit of cover before moving him somewhere to shoot, being strong and having heavy armor means he can move and shoot and not have to worry so much about being killed easily.
Three legionnaires with SMGs for 195, these are the units just ahead of the Anointed, providing fire support from objectives/standing ready to move up and secure objectives.
Three troopers with swords and SMGs these guys are pushing the objectives and trying to link up with the infiltrators.
Three Infiltrators with SMGs and clubs. These guys will start hidden or in cover as much as possible, and focus on move>shoot>dash out of sight to preoccupy the enemy while the rest of the warband shoots n scoots into objectives.
Total: 1000 points
Overall I love this list because its loaded with SMGs which are very powerful with 2 attack actions and 2 attacks per action, the MG is well protected with armor and starting cover, the priest is hard to kill, and the commando +infiltrators puts a big Eff-you in the enemys face that they cant ignore, which means the rest of the warband is doing its thing freely.
The next list is the New Antioch Gunner list:
Lieutenant with Auto Rifle and Shovel for 115 puts a lot of fire power in cover at the start of the game
Sniper Priest with Heavy Armor, Sniper Rifle, and Shovel for 130 is a hard to kill killer
Two Mechanised Infantry with Machine Guns and shovels for 300 puts a TON of fire down range and they arent upgraded to full mech armor so theyre still mobile but hard to kill
One mechanised infantry with Heavy Flamethrower and Shovel for 145 to lead the way onto objectives and roast the enemies of New Antioch alive
Two Trench moles with SMGs and shovels for 150 provide a early game objective grabbing and killing, they will act as a fire team to overwhelm enemy units that are threatening
Four yeoman with bolt action rifles for 160, because its the every day joe schmoe that's gonna really win me those objectives and the bolt action rifle is the work horse of the Lord on the battlefield
Overall i love that this list brings a TON of fire power AND armor! i cant wait to finish this one and post it I think it's gonna look very cool. As an alternative to the two tench moles and 4 yeoman I could drop them and the shovels on the two MG Mechs and bring i five sword n shield Shocktruppers to accompany the flamethrow mech into combat

2024.05.22 01:09 Party_Calendar_7871 starting to hate females and i feel like a bigot
modern dating in the USA has gone to such complete crap. i feel like females have just become so increasingly selfish over the last decade its unbelievable. i feel like finding a girl without an inflated ego now a day is super rare to come by. all they care about is what you can do for them and nothing else. i think a huge problem lies with men that simp over all these girls and it makes them act like they are this supreme breed of species who act like they dont fart every couple hours like we do. am considering cutting off my penis so i have no need for them at all anymore. their looks is literally the ONLY thing they can bring to the table. men do everything better than women and that is a fact. shit if we could give birth we probably wouldnt be complaining about pickles and pistachio ice cream for months before delivering. you could literally txt a female and tell them you are about to kill yourself and they would look at it and not even care. they are so freaking full of themselves its disgusting im disgusted with myself for even being attracted to them. i sound horrible but most of you men know EXACTLY what im talking about and know im right. and yes not every female is like this but now a days i will say 85/100 is tell me im wrong

2024.05.22 01:04 Melodic_Abroad6368 Should We Move to UK from CANADA?
Currently living in Alberta, Canada with my spouse and children and looking for a big change and something new for all of us.
I am familiar with the NW of England and have lived there 20 years ago, and are considering moving back. I know what its like to live there then, but not now.
I am wondering what things are like housing-wise in the NW of England. Are rentals hard to get into? I want to know what things you like about the UK and what things you like about Canada. What things do you hate about each country? How did you feel in each country? What was your lifestyle like in each country? What was your lifestyle like in each country?
Reasons for wanting to move: -being priced out of buying a home in the most expensive area of the province (No, we can't move to another part of the province due to spouse's type of work)
-becoming tired of the freezing cold -40C winters to spring and summers dealing with wildfire smoke. My child has asthma and the smoke makes us stay inside all day with the air purifier.
Excited to hear what you have to say.
*Looking for advise from folks who have lived in both countries. I don't want opinions from people who have not lived in both.

- tired of having to deal with wildlife (bears, cougars, coyotes and aggressive deer) Love to be outside and hiking, but the wildlife encounters in our area are becoming more frequent and more aggressive on the animal's part. I want to spend more time outside as a family year-round without dealing with wildlife

2024.05.22 00:42 touchingjupiter Feeling especially alien lately
I’m 28NB, female presenting. I’m getting so frustrated and upset with the way conversations with people, especially with strangers and acquaintances or new friends go.
I know I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but I feel like I am constantly misunderstood, misinterpreted, or (the thing that triggers me the most) constantly have people assign intentions to my words and body language that just isn’t there. It’s even worse in professional settings because I have a professional, client-facing job. Work emails are so stressful to me.
Whenever something like this happens, it just keeps reminding me that I’m not a “normal” “person” and it just feels so daunting to realize that I’m gonna have to keep experiencing things like this to some degree no matter how hard I work on it or try. It hits me especially hard when something inevitably goes wrong while talking to women my age and be confronted by the fact that I am just not like them and will never be like them. (I know I’m being very hard on myself right now - I just had a conversation that went badly with a woman online and I’m feeling a little triggered.)
I’m very lucky in that my partner has been very understanding and has actively tried to understand my challenges. (They are diagnosed ADHD but likely also undiagnosed autistic.) But it is still so isolating to only have one person who is in my life consistently enough who does not make me feel this way.

2024.05.21 23:53 Cinnamon_Girl39 Yet another failed connection
Honestly, I just need some people to help me feel less alone.
Before getting into this modern dating world I never imagined what it would be like, the sheer volume of emotionally unavailable people is mind blowing.
It's like a play by play where as soon as someone realises things are progressing they freak out, last guy because he clearly wasn't over his ex.
I feel so unbelievably disheartened. How do you keep faith? I feel so low today. I put myself out there again and again just to get hurt.

2024.05.21 23:28 mariee_17 Concert a week after surgery?
I just got my surgery scheduled for next week, May 29th and I am so excited! I have been waiting a couple months for insurance approval so this feels surreal. The only thing is I have tickets to a concert June 5th. My doctor’s office has no availability for June, and I am not willing to wait for July. I know if I have even a slight complication after surgery I won’t be able to attend, but for those who had easy recoveries would you say you felt able to attend a concert just a week after surgery? I would be getting driven to and from the concert, and the tickets are seated so I would be standing on line and going up stairs to my seat. My surgery is definitely the priority but is there any hope for me to attend this concert?

2024.05.21 23:17 refined-clown Cat with Pleural Effusion
Hey all, I’ve never really posted on reddit, but I’m looking for advice/info about my kitty’s condition. He’s a male tabby, four (maybe five?) years old. I’ve had him for almost three years now.
About a month ago, I noticed that his breathing was super heavy and his stomach was distended when breathing. Sure enough, I took him to urgent care and the right side of his body was filled with fluid. They did tests and are still unsure of what it was. They say that it might be cancer, as they may have seen a mass, but again, not too sure. They tapped him and got him breathing steady again. He’s been on steroids in order to try and stop the fluid from coming back. He seemed fairly okay for the past month, even almost back to his old self. Still super cuddly and the sweetest guy around.
Today, I took him to the vet for a check up and they say the fluid is back. I’m waiting on X-rays in order to figure out what to do. His breathing is steady right now, if just a little heavy. I’ve been watching his breaths per minute to make sure he’s safe. They recommend tapping him again, but if I do that, will he just fill up with fluid again in another month?
This is all to say: does anyone know much about pleural effusion in cats?

2024.05.21 22:26 Sugarskull_1117 How to have hope when hopeless
Tldr; Been struggling lately because it feels like no matter where I go. I'm stuck in an environment that's hostile one way or another. And I'm stuck having to be around immature grown ass adults. And I'm very tired of it. It's tanked the hell outta my morale. To the point where I'm considering on enlisting because I don't feel like I can fit anywhere else in regular society. I'd appreciate any insights if you want to share.
I honestly feel like 2020 was the start of my downward sprial. I had always been depressed. But I feel like the Pandemic really made it worse. As ridiculous as it may sound. I was upset that my prom and senior trip was canceled. As I was looking forwards to it. Because I saw it as a day I could truly feel pretty. And the last time I could spend with friends before adulthood sucked the little life left in us. Didn't help me to see the next classes get to have their prom and trip either. But it's in the past, and I'm glad they had the privilege to have theirs. But a huge issue, back then. Was I didn't know what the hell I wanted to do with myself after Highschool.
My guidance counselor was more excited for my senior year than I was. And my dad didn't help with all the pressure he put on me. We got into more arguments when I was eighteen. As mentioned before, I was clueless on what I wanted in life. And had told my dad I was taking a gap year. Gap year turned into two years. Due to me having fallen into a deep depression due to the quarantine. Which didn't help things between my parents and I. They told me I had to get a job. Fine, started working part-time at dollar tree. And over time that wasn't enough. I started getting badgered about school again.
I have no issue with further education. Be it college or a trade. But the world is far more expensive than it was in the 80s - 90s. And it felt like my parents didn't grasp that. Everytime I brought it up I was treated like I was making excuses. I also didn't want go to school because I didn't want to be stuck with courses to something I fucking hated. I was the one that would have to pay for it in the end. I wanted it to be something I could at least tolerate until I found something better. Ended up doing it anyway to shut them up. And I started working another job to save money. Though I wasn't doing much of that.
Because I'd spend money to get a shred of serotonin. Mostly fast food. Not proud of it, but that was my reality. Eventually, I couldn't put up with the classes and two jobs. And attitude I was getting from my parents. And became very apathetic about life. This was maybe around 2021 - 2022. I truly felt alone at this point. And because I grew isolated from family aside my maternal grandma. I felt I had nobody to really open up to. Couldn't talk to my older brother because he's awful at communicating back with me. As he's always busy with work. And he has a son so. I have friends. But they have their own lives and seem to be doing well. I didn't want to risk being an emotional burden. So I didn't vent to them.
Didn't even have much energy to Journal anymore either. And I stopped therapy when I was nineteen I think. Because my father essentially said I was wasting my therapists time. Since I had been seeing her since I was fifteen and still had the same mentality. My care for my well being and self preservation went out the window for the most part at this time. Think I was twenty at the time. Because that's when I met my ex. Let's call him Gio. Gio is five years older than me (I'm 22F now). I didn't expect us to end up dating. As I wanted to just be friends. But I don't regret it. He's a pain in my ass sometimes. But a great guy.
I think in 2022, April 14th me and my dad got into an awful arguement. Gio had a habit of calling me after he dropped me off home. And we'd talk while he walked to his since he lived a town next to mine. So he had heard everything. At some point I stormed out of the apartment. And my dad had stormed out and tried grabbing me to drag me back in. And that's when Gio pushed us apart. I want to make it a point. That Gio didn't come to the apartment to fight my dad. He came to console me, and since my dad was being agressive, he got protective. They ended up getting into a little scuffle and someone called the police.
After a little more arguing I packed some of my shit and stayed with Gio the next two weeks. Two weeks where I dealt with passive aggressive texts from my dad. The next few months were hot and cold with them. I'd move in and then get kicked out due to my dad and I bumping heads. Around December that year Gio's brother. Let's call him Antonio, invited us to live with him in Massachusetts. Since my dad presses charges on Gio. And due to court stuff, his boss didn't want to give him hours. So we were struggling with money. And Antonio wanted to help us. It was a hard move for me. Since I'm from New Jersey and haven't lived anywhere else.
But I figured a fresh start outta state would get me to take initiative and get my shit together. But before that could even happen there was a misunderstanding between me and Antonio's wife. It was quite small, and I was willing to apologize for it. But she blew it out of proportion and called her daughter. And I assume said I gave her attitude. Little bitch actually came to the house in attempt to fight me over it. Luckily Antonio was able to hold her back. I ended up getting sent back to Jersey. Which leads to my whole point here. It seems like no matter what. Something gets in the way of me going somewhere in life.
Im always surrounded by at least one or two immature grown ass adults. And im tired of it. My dad hasnt changed much either. And ive been unemployed for three months. Theres no peace at my parents house because of my dad. And there isn't any at my exes house. Which I currently have to reside since my parents moved into a one bedroom two months ago. I have no issue with the majority of the house aside from Gios aunt. Who is an old bitch I hate. And I don't use that word lightly. I understand she deals with stress and chronic pain. But that doesn't excuse her attitude. I know my place in this apartment and generally keep out of the way. And respect everyone. But she has a very nasty spirit, lacks accountability and self awareness, is entitled, and rude as hell.
And being told by not only my ex but her DAUGHTER to just ignore her. Is tiring. I understand it though, because that's just how it is with some people. But like... that's been my WHOLE childhood. Being mindful and expected to have sympathy, understanding, patience, and respect for others. Yet never or barely receiving any myself. All because what? I don't pay rent? I don't work 40+hrs a week? I'm so tired of this shit. I know I'm pathetic. I can be immature. And emotional. But I'm TRYING and it's like it's never enough. And when I'm at a point where I'm hopeless. It's as if I never tried in the first place.
I'm supposes to appreciate and validate others and what they've contributed for or something that benefitted me. Yet I can't get the simplest acknowledgment that hey, you've been struggling. But you managed to do X today. And that's great, I'm proud of you. But perhaps that's too childish of me. I'm a grown woman. Not a toddler. You don't get stickers for doing what you're supposed to. Because nobody gives a fuck. Hell, when you're a child it's probably worse. To quote my father, why should or would I get praise for something I was SUPPOSED to do.

Think I was twenty at the time. Because that's when I met my ex. Let's call him Gio. Gio is five years older than me (I'm 22F now). I didn't expect us to end up dating. As I wanted to just be friends. But I don't regret it. He's a pain in my ass sometimes. But a great guy.
I think in 2022, April 14th me and my dad got into an awful arguement. Gio had a habit of calling me after he dropped me off home. And we'd talk while he walked to his since he lived a town next to mine. So he had heard everything. At some point I stormed out of the apartment. And my dad had stormed out and tried grabbing me to drag me back in. And that's when Gio pushed us apart. I want to make it a point. That Gio didn't come to the apartment to fight my dad. He came to console me, and since my dad was being agressive, he got protective. They ended up getting into a little scuffle and someone called the police.
After a little more arguing I packed some of my shit and stayed with Gio the next two weeks. Two weeks where I dealt with passive aggressive texts from my dad. The next few months were hot and cold with them. I'd move in and then get kicked out due to my dad and I bumping heads. Around December that year Gio's brother. Let's call him Antonio, invited us to live with him in Massachusetts. Since my dad presses charges on Gio. And due to court stuff, his boss didn't want to give him hours. So we were struggling with money. And Antonio wanted to help us. It was a hard move for me. Since I'm from New Jersey and haven't lived anywhere else.
But I figured a fresh start outta state would get me to take initiative and get my shit together. But before that could even happen there was a misunderstanding between me and Antonio's wife. It was quite small, and I was willing to apologize for it. But she blew it out of proportion and called her daughter. And I assume said I gave her attitude. Little bitch actually came to the house in attempt to fight me over it. Luckily Antonio was able to hold her back. I ended up getting sent back to Jersey. Which leads to my whole point here. It seems like no matter what. Something gets in the way of me going somewhere in life.
Im always surrounded by at least one or two immature grown ass adults. And im tired of it. My dad hasnt changed much either. And ive been unemployed for three months. Theres no peace at my parents house because of my dad. And there isn't any at my exes house. Which I currently have to reside since my parents moved into a one bedroom two months ago. I have no issue with the majority of the house aside from Gios aunt. Who is an old bitch I hate. And I don't use that word lightly. I understand she deals with stress and chronic pain. But that doesn't excuse her attitude. I know my place in this apartment and generally keep out of the way. And respect everyone. But she has a very nasty spirit, lacks accountability and self awareness, is entitled, and rude as hell.
And being told by not only my ex but her DAUGHTER to just ignore her. Is tiring. I understand it though, because that's just how it is with some people. But like... that's been my WHOLE childhood. Being mindful and expected to have sympathy, understanding, patience, and respect for others. Yet never or barely receiving any myself. All because what? I don't pay rent? I don't work 40+hrs a week? I'm so tired of this shit. I know I'm pathetic. I can be immature. And emotional. But I'm TRYING and it's like it's never enough. And when I'm at a point where I'm hopeless. It's as if I never tried in the first place.
I'm supposes to appreciate and validate others and what they've contributed for or something that benefitted me. Yet I can't get the simplest acknowledgment that hey, you've been struggling. But you managed to do X today. And that's great, I'm proud of you. But perhaps that's too childish of me. I'm a grown woman. Not a toddler. You don't get stickers for doing what you're supposed to. Because nobody gives a fuck. Hell, when you're a child it's probably worse. To quote my father, why should or would I get praise for something I was SUPPOSED to do.
2024.05.21 22:20 DPurp4 Volo: Wizard, or a Bard? An Analysis
Hey everyone. So firstly, if you think you already know the answer to this question, please keep reading - the answer may surprise you.
My venture into this rabbit hole started innocuously enough - a friend of mine reached out to me last night, saying "dude, did you know that Volo is actually a human wizard?"
This intuitively did not (and does not) make sense to me - Volo is clearly a bard, if I ever saw one. Something about him being a wizard didn't sit quite right with me. So, I decided to investigate.
A cursory Google search showed most people saying that he is, in fact, a wizard. But most of the top results were from Reddit or other forums, and I wanted something a little more concrete. Which is when I stumbled upon this -
Volothamp Geddarm - Wiki article
Well, that certainly looks like our Volo. And it does indeed say that he's a wizard. So, case closed...right???
Not exactly.
One thing that struck me, is that the Volo in BG3 really does not match the description of the person described in that article. Volothamp Geddarm is described as a very powerful wizard - think like, Elminster levels. So why is he level 3? Why is his persona that of a goofy, trouble-making scamp? Why do we frequently see him play instruments and sing songs, but never cast (or even talk about) spells?
Well - I later on in that Wiki article, I stumbled upon what appears to be the answer. To quote the relevant part:
“"Volo" is not to be confused with "Marcus Volo", real name Marcus Wands, of the Wands family of Waterdeep. A trouble-making bard, Wands gained Volothamp's moniker after he stole an artifact from a powerful wizard, and laid the blame on the far more infamous scapegoat of the real Volo.”
Now, I want you to tell me what's more likely. That the Volo at camp is an all-powerful wizard of great renown? Or that he's a trouble-making bard that frequently lies and exaggerates, and would absolutely not be above stealing the OG Volo's name?
I know what my answer is. I think that the Volo we have at camp is BG3 is not the renowned Volothamp Geddarm wizard at all - but is instead Marcus "Volo" Wands, the notorious troublemaking bard. And I think the evidence is on my side.
BUT - and here's where I need your help, Reddit - I may have evidence, but I don't have definitive, concrete PROOF of anything. I want to know if there's ANYTHING in BG3 - a dialogue option, a cutscene, a super hidden Easter egg - that can confirm beyond any shadow of doubt whether our Volo is the "real" wizard Volo, or if he's notorious bard Marcus Wands?
Given everything we know about BG3 Volo, I feel pretty confident that it's the latter. Be honest - what do you think?
TL;DR - I think BG3 camp Volo is actually the bard "Marcus Wands", rather than the wizard Volothamp Geddarm. I'm looking for concrete evidence that would fully prove (or disprove) this either way. If not, feel free to just speculate. Much love to the BG3 community <3

2024.05.21 21:34 eloheim_the_dream To my fellow Lagooners! Noticed a huge benefit in driving feel from changing my analog input curve [TM2 Lagoon/Turbo]
(Yes, to all 12 of you..)
I noticed something really interesting playing TM2 Lagoon on PC recently. When changing the analog input curve in DS4Windows from my default to "Easeout Quad" (fast in, slower out), the car feels very noticeably nicer to control than the vanilla settings (imo of course). With it the car actually reacts instantly to your steering and just overall feels more responsive. I wouldn't think much of it, but it makes the Lagoon car feel so much more "normal" to drive it almost makes me wonder if there's some kind of inverse of that curve-type applied to the input by default.
Also I will say, despite this, the general "feel" of the Lagoon car is absolutely intact (that little hitch before the car starts turning, and the unique 'sticky' smooth-steering, etc.). For me, that's a good thing. And before you think I just need some time to adjust to the default handling, I'll say that Lagoon is my favorite TM2-era environment and I not long ago got every Trackmaster (aka Author) Medal in Turbo (and loved it) on console (PS4), where you can't even adjust dead-zone much less input curves.
Below is the curve I found made the car handle so much better. I'm wondering if anyone else had ever noticed or tried this before? I tried googling but didn't find anything. I would love to know what other Lagoon-enjoyers think of it but maybe even moreso the opinions of people who tried the environment and didn't pick it up thanks to the perceived unwieldy handling. Considering Lagoon's relative lesser popularity and the age of these games I wouldn't expect too many people out there to much care, but maybe it can prove helpful to a few!

2024.05.21 21:09 _terriblePuns Spectrum Black 27" Quick Review
I received my monitor ages ago but never got around to the review. Better late than never.
Pros:
submitted by _terriblePuns to doughcommunity [link] [comments]
Pros:
- OLED blacks
- Excellent reflection handling
- Compared to my Samsung Galaxy S20 phone, which also has a glossy screen: the phone is like a mirror, the monitor is like a mirror but the lights are dimmer and slightly warmer on the "other side". Pictures don't really do it justice, but I'll say I have a window behind me right now and it's equally distracting on my matte and Dough glossy monitors, just tradeoffs. I hope this becomes widely used by monitor manufacturers.
- The reason it took me so long to make this review is that I had to get adjusted to a properly calibrated 6504K display. I think I've finally adjusted and can say that the colors are not disgusting like they first seemed (it initially looked like there was a urine-yellow filter on the colors). If your other monitors are not 6504K calibrated then be prepared for this to possibly be a con for about two months.
- There's notable fringing where yellow meets white.
- Some kind of fringing was an expected con and this was within my expectations. Worth it for me, but still a con.
- At least on my unit there's something that causes some kind of vertical streaking on solid gray backgrounds that pretty much kills the value of a glossy monitor and really hurts the desktop / productivity use case. It's always there for everything but only noticeably shows up on grays blocks, the lighter the gray the worse the streaking. I contacted support and got nothing back u/migelangelo.
- The monitor is quite heavy. There's not anything Dough can do about that because glass and metal simply weigh a lot, but be aware that you need a chunky mount for this thing.
- If you're particularly low strength you might need help to reliably mount the monitor without dropping it, doubly so for the upcoming 32" model. If you have noodle arms it might be a good idea to do some strength training while you wait for yours to arrive.
- The OSD is slow to change. I can move the stick multiple times easily before the next menu change will occur.
- Toggling BFI on/off makes Windows treat this as a different monitor, causing many unexpected / inconvenient results.
- In order to feed the usb charging and other features this monitor has a sizeable power brick: 155mm x 87mm x 26mm. The cables come out along the long axis so you need more than 155mm, at least 40mm extra on pc side and at least 70mm extra on power side, any less and you'll really be squeezing the cables. For a 230W power brick it's not bad, but still much larger than most other monitor power bricks / wall warts. You may need to plan for this.
- 60W max power / 40W personal settings max power. Measured with nothing else plugged in, full white screen at maximum brightness.
- That's notably higher than the 46W / 20W of my previous IPS monitor of the same size, but OLED usually uses much less than its full white power. I'd expect similar averages.
- Windows is pretty bad at HDR. Nothing to do with the monitor, just be prepared to fight the OS a little bit. Worth it in the end.
- Power brick output is 19.5V / 11.8A for anyone doing wacky custom stuff.

2024.05.21 19:49 wateredcoffeedown Feeling lost and hopeless, hoping for some kind of direction
I'm sorry to be posting something negative, I'd avoid reading this if you want to stay in a good headspace. I'm hoping for some kind of guidance.Not suicidal! TW: Death
For those of you who don't feel like reading all of this, I'll add a tl;dr at the end.
I've been wary of posting about what I'm going through in any public space beyond general feelings I'm experiencing, for several reasons. I don't want it to somehow effect other people the same way it has me, I feel like what I have experienced is fully my fault and that I'm the only person who can change it, and I don't want to put more negativity into anyone's life, especially since I'm not paying for a service here. I also don't really want other people's beliefs to effect my issue, but it is what it is at this point.
That said, I really don't know how to proceed with my life. I hope I can gain some guidance, and that the many others who are facing similar if not identical issues might be helped with anything that comes from this.
So here's where the problem comes in. I've had OCD since I was a young teenager if not all my life to some extent. Diagnosed in 2021, but definitely was dealing with it wayyy earlier. My obsessions always fixated on religion prior to that point, but suddenly with my influx of successful manifestations, I became constantly fixating on accidentally manifesting something very bad. I would get the intrusive thought that my partner was going to die or be hit by a car. I did everything I possibly could to think the opposite, to assume she would be perfectly okay. To read every resource I could and manifest a long, healthy life for her. The thoughts didn't stop.
It went on for 3 straight years, every day, every hour. I was paralyzed by these intrusive thoughts. I tried to manifest the thoughts away as well, but they didn't budge. After years of this, I began to really notice that the bad things were taking their sweet time to happen. Nothing ever happened to her because of my thoughts. Things started to get better. I stuffed spirituality as a whole into a dark corner in the back of my mind and decided to never touch it again.
Then one day, I realized that there were some things I would really love to achieve or change in my life, and decided to get back into it again. Nothing bad ever happened from it in the past, so why not play around with the real life video game cheats again. Almost immediately, I became fixated on accidentally manifesting my own death.
Once again, every day, every hour for the past 1.5 years I've been fixated on it. Constantly thinking about whether or not I'm going to die, whether this is the day or tomorrow is the day. Many days I was convinced it was going to happen, and it did not. I was grateful, but the thoughts and feelings of impending doom never went away.
I feel weak and abused by myself. I feel like I caused this all to happen to myself by, as many in the manifesting communities say, "Living in a victim mentality". I often feel hopeless, as I do today. Really the only reassurance is that I'm currently alive somehow. I don't really care about dying, I just don't want to cause it to happen to myself. I don't want to be too weak to even save my own life. I have tried extremely hard to solve this problem. There were weeks last year where I hardly slept at all because every moment was spent trying to "Occupy the state of surviving to x age". Every time I'd feel like giving up, part of me would find the willpower to try again. But it's been a long time and I'm losing steam.
This is already EXTREMELY long so I appreciate anyone who has read through this a lot. So without going to deep into things, at some point in this process, I got into Buddhism and specifically learning to experience suffering instead of trying to change it. This was super helpful for me, but I'm still suffering, and can still manifest other things. Because of this, I ended up going long periods of time, just allowing my thoughts to do whatever they wanted to. Sometimes I'd be convinced it was going to kill me, but I decided to just let it come and go. This really helps, but I keep jumping back to feeling like I have to do something to survive.
I'll cap it there. Thanks so much for reading. Any thoughts or advice related to the spirituality aspect of this, besides the obvious amount that I need therapy?
tl;dr: got super into manifestation, became extremely fixated on accidentally killing myself with it. proceeded to suffer. hoping for helpful advice

2024.05.21 19:10 NoUnderstanding7116 My Very Honest Review For The Manga: Kaiju No. 8
 | Kaiju No. 8 Review: submitted by NoUnderstanding7116 to GODZILLA [link] [comments] With the Kaiju Genre being more relevant as days goes by, I would like to give my very honest opinion regarding the latest installment to this genre itself titled Kaiju No. 8. A story of a middle aged man named Kafka Hibino, wanting to be a part of a Kaiju hunting organization and fulfill his promise to a childhood friend who unfortunately for him, failed and found himself in a more suitable position as a kaiju cleaner instead due to the lack of talent needed to actually become a kaiju exterminator. But ofc, one day, it changed after Kafka swallowed what seemed to be a small parasitic Kaiju which granted him raw power in unimaginable proportions. Superhuman speed, strength, durability and other useful abilities that now gave him the possibility to reach his goal. With all said and done, let's begin. First and foremost, I actually think that Kaiju No. 8 is very mediocre. To explain that, I believe there are three major reasons as to why I feel that way. Which is:
Even though having very common tropes is bad, the reason why other competitors such as Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen were successful is because they have something interesting offered only in their anime itself. Chainsaw Man has a very consistent uncanny tone present in their story. Such as their lose screws characters, tragic backstories that they presented very eerily instead of sympathetically, the design of their characters, it's protagonist, the tone, the setting and it's antagonist. Calling Chainsaw Man edgy is an understatement, what it offers visually and story wise is always engaging due to the present identity shown in the series. While JJK on the other hand, even though I find it to be extremely overrated, at least the series made name for it's complex and highly detailed power system and even the monsters roaming in their world are called Curses or Cursed Spirits which I find to be cool, because it uses better words unlike basic terms like "Demons" for Demon Slayer or "Devils" in Chainsaw Man. Fire Force, another decent anime, didn't fail in creating distinctive uniforms that are easily recognizable and cool at the same time.
This last one is more of a Kaiju fan problem, which I'll address below:
Regardless, despite kaijus being present in their world. The anime's term for "Kaiju" is not the same as our's. The biggest villain is dubbed Kaiju No. 9, is actually a human sized humanoid that can talk. Some of the kaijus shown are literally a carbon copy of one said character but with black eyes and dark colour scheme to give an antagonistic vibe. The most focused threats aren't even kaiju at all, Kaiju No. 10 is also another decently large kaiju only to become a weapon and help one the heroes combat the villains afterwards (reminiscent to that of Venom and Eddie Brock). Basically, despite the word kaiju in it's title, it simply is not a kaiju genre. The "kaijus" aren't really kaijus, they don't function or act like one, at least the bigger more focused existential threats that challenges our heroes aren't kaijus at all. The Positives: Despite my take for Kaiju No. 8 seems very harsh, there's still good things about it, and for me personally:
Conclusion: I believe Kaiju No. 8 is a pretty good series. It does all thing's right, just not spectacularly. Doesn't feel like a Kaiju genre personally but still somewhat enjoyable to watch. Do I recommend this? Personally no, but I can see most people besides me enjoy it so probably yeah. With this I score it: 7/10. |
2024.05.21 19:04 Bloodydiadem4 The longest I've gone without smoking since my pregnancy.
I have gone back and forth between vaping and smoking cigarettes for 7 years. Sometimes I fail to realize that it really has been 7 years since I made the mistake of buying my first pack on my 18th birthday as part of a 'tradition' between my friends and I. My throat hurts, which is the most surprising thing. I spent most of those 12 hours asleep just to avoid thinking about wanting to smoke and being awake it's like every 20 minutes I want another one. Any other things to expect from quitting that you wouldn't normally think about?

2024.05.21 18:56 Wbradycall I apologize for my malice. Try to ignore my old post.
Greetings Singing Subreddit,
I once sent a post a while ago making stupid arguments for why I should've stayed inside the BSN Discord server. Please try to ignore it, and even if you do, know that I am in the process of changing. I kept it up to show people to admit I have somewhat become the very person I have been complaining about being mean to me and because it just is an interesting dialogue in general. There's no point in deleting it because it already has done lots of damage to society. I admit I have become very aggressive and malicious recently in the last few months and have transformed into a bully. I took a while to realize it. I told some very awful and horrible things to others all the time in the last few months. I have shown an overwhelming amount of malice. I am still arrogant at times, admittedly, and I have serious mental problems still. I have chosen to leave the BSN server members alone and they did a truce with me that they wouldn't comment on any of my stuff ever again, either. I admit I have lived an easy life (with some setbacks as well but everyone has those) and I was still extremely crass to others.
I would like to apologize for being extremely aggressive towards others and for saying awful and horrible things. I'm also sorry for those videos of animals getting attacked as a crude joke and for telling girls and women to stay in the kitchen as a crude joke. I'm also sorry for all those comments to people telling them they should've never been born. I admit I also tried trolling one of the guys I made a truce with a few days ago, making crass jokes about him orgasming, though I later deleted all those comments and videos because I knew that I had to keep my truce to him. I have said and done lots of awful and horrible things and I should leave these guys alone and never talk to them ever again. They don't want me, and that's okay, those guys can just live their life.
I will allow people to politely yet brutally honestly give me advice not to be rude to others, as long as you're not the guys who promised not to talk to me ever again as a truce. You don't have to be apologetic, you can just be straight on and honest. Try to be assertive rather than aggressive though.

I once sent a post a while ago making stupid arguments for why I should've stayed inside the BSN Discord server. Please try to ignore it, and even if you do, know that I am in the process of changing. I kept it up to show people to admit I have somewhat become the very person I have been complaining about being mean to me and because it just is an interesting dialogue in general. There's no point in deleting it because it already has done lots of damage to society. I admit I have become very aggressive and malicious recently in the last few months and have transformed into a bully. I took a while to realize it. I told some very awful and horrible things to others all the time in the last few months. I have shown an overwhelming amount of malice. I am still arrogant at times, admittedly, and I have serious mental problems still. I have chosen to leave the BSN server members alone and they did a truce with me that they wouldn't comment on any of my stuff ever again, either. I admit I have lived an easy life (with some setbacks as well but everyone has those) and I was still extremely crass to others.
I would like to apologize for being extremely aggressive towards others and for saying awful and horrible things.

2024.05.21 18:52 Sad-Deal-5382 I just thought to look her up on Reddit and here is my thing.
I have learned so much from you guys here in here. I work a call center job from home and put lives on sometimes to listen to while I work cases.
The dog piling in her lives is insane. I find myself screaming at my phone. I know it’s been said in here, but how is she trying to educate when she acts how she acts? I was listening to her live yesterday when a girl was so to speak ‘in the middle’ you know, she could see both sides.
I have a 17 year old bonus daughter, an aunt, a little brother, best friends who are LGBTQ, I vote/lean democratic, but I do not get into politics. But please please please educate me if I am wrong for saying this: why can’t someone be in the middle? Why does she and panel either say ‘you’re with us or you’re against us. You can’t be in the middle.’ Life is full of gray, it’s not black and white. I consider myself an ally.
I hope I worded this correctly. Sorry in advance if I didn’t. And thanks in advance for the responses.

2024.05.21 18:47 maybegirl89 Feeling physically and emotionally fatigued from the onslaught of misgendering...here's my latest work incident
So I work in the veterinary field and one of the aspects of the job is that I have to get people into a room with their animal and get basic information as to why they are there and get vitals;heart rate/weight/temp etc.
A very common thing that takes place is that the owner will try to make their pet feel better by saying things like "he won't hurt you" immediately misgendering me and not even including me in the conversation so it is always a jarring correction when I do it.
Yesterday there was a sort of aggressive/ mostly fearful boxer that gave me indication that he may bite. This was on the heals of me attempting to feel the chest for a heart rate. I said we can get that later as I do not want to stress the patient before the doctor gets in. The owner (who had a bunch of pride stuff on) said that their dog would be better with a "Complete female"..... I just sighed and walked out.
