I was blindsided by my breakup…
2024.05.21 15:55 PristineCorgi11 I was blindsided by my breakup…
My ex (m24) broke up with me (f23) after four years and seven months together. Everything was completely normal before it happened. He was still telling me that he loved and missed me, we were still being intimate, he was telling me how he was going to send me a list of gift ideas for his birthday in July (as if I’d still be around by then), and saying how he plans to post a picture of us on Instagram as soon as we take one (because he did not post me much on Instagram). He went on a work trip last Monday, so we weren’t texting as much, which is expected. He was still being lovey with me by sending hearts, telling me to have sweet dreams at night, and making it seem like we still had a future and until the day he dumped me. He said he wanted to break up with me because we didn’t align, we didn’t have enough in common, and we fought too much. I really thought we connected super well (especially considering how long we had been together) and he was acting completely normal before he dumped me. He said he had been thinking about this for a couple weeks. I just feel so confused and betrayed by his decision. I really loved him SO much. He was my best and closest friend and I had every intention of marrying him someday. I even told him a few days before that I really loved him so much and he said he loved me too. I asked him if he loved me as much as I loved him and he said yes he does. However, during the break up, he said that he didn’t wanna marry me, he didn’t want to have kids with me, he didn’t want me to move in with him, and that he stated multiple times that doesn’t love me anymore. I can’t eat, sleep, or shower. I am constantly nauseous and can’t finish an entire meal. How do I handle my grief? Are there any words of wisdom or support that can be shared? Thank you in advance.

2024.05.21 15:55 Abster96 Planning My Next Build: Thoughts on RAID 0 with Gen 5 SSDs?
I had a bit of a revelation today while planning my next PC build. I'm excited to share that I'll be building a new x86 Intel 900 series chipset rig next year, complete with an RTX 5090 once they're available on the market.
During my planning, a thought crossed my mind: what if I buy two Gen 5 SSDs and set them up in RAID 0? In theory, this should double the speed of a single Gen 5 SSD, right? I'm curious to know if anyone here has tried this or has any insights on whether it would work as expected.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

2024.05.21 15:54 Fluffy_Lifeguard4690 Should I Go to College?
Lately, I've been hearing a lot about how college is a waste of money and time and that it is a financial trap that the government is pushing us into. From early childhood, I dreamed of working as a manager in finance, and next year, I planned to go to college. Do you think should I go to college, or will self-study combined with early work be more beneficial?

2024.05.21 15:54 throwaway_311728 I'm feeling neglected by my lifelong friend group, but I can't talk to them about it.
I wanna just preface by saying that I know I'm partially responsible for this shift in dynamic; I've always been an introvert and not always the most stellar friend because of it. I've said no to plans, I've bailed, shit happens, right? I know that's on me. Relationships go both ways. I'm at the point where I'm afraid to try and take the initiative, though. I'm afraid of the potential rejection.
My core friend group is my three siblings and our partners. I'm only actual literal siblings to one of them, the other two are my cousins (and siblings to each other), but we're close as can be and have been our whole lives. Our moms (sisters) are each other's best friend and their respective firstborns (one of whom is me) were born only six weeks apart from each other. We have a lot of cousins but we're separated enough from the closest ones to our ages that we were always our own little "demographic" in the family, so to speak.
I'm very close with my sibling, and despite my cousins being the only cousins who lived out of town growing up, almost an hour away, they're the ones we saw the most. We did everything together. The four of us share so many memories. I love them all dearly. We're all grown up now, we all have a partner and are either married or engaged by this point, and I love all the plus ones too!
But
I've always been a shy and introverted person. My siblings, I was NEVER timid with; I'm effortlessly comfortable with them, always have been. But, being the type of introvert who can be drained by social situations, as I got older and had to work soul crushing jobs, and ESPECIALLY when I had a job with wildly unpredictable hours making it difficult to make/stick to plans, I didn't always say yes to invites.
Saying that, I see how it's not totally fair. They've all cancelled plans too, it's normal. But something is different with me. Something changed. The first time I felt left out, we were teenagers and I was waiting for them to call me to hang out at the mall, and they neglected to do so. When I called them, they were all already there. Without me. I was devastated.
That's just a one-off mistake though. As we grew older and were able to drive ourselves to places I like to think we did a lot together. Fishing, hiking, board game nights, movies, just hanging out. But then covid hit, and something is different now.
Along with the pandemic came the most difficult period of my life. I was going through the grueling process of helping my once long-distance partner immigrate so we could be together, and I was facing severe emotional abuse at the hands of another friend group. I was just so... defeated a lot of the time. Tired. Hating myself. Struggling to get out of bed some days. Just wanting to stew in my misery. Quarantine made it harder, because even the option to see them all was gone.
My sibling was the only one able to attend my wedding when we had to uninvite everyone. Fine, that's nobody's fault. It sucks, it hurts, but I get it. I don't really have the right to complain, and I don't want to anyway, I don't blame anybody.
It was because of social restrictions that I was the only one not there for my cousin's proposal. I understand why I was the one left out, but fuck, it still hurt. I'm the only one of the four of us who had no part in cousin's wedding. I understand not being part of the wedding party, but I wasn't ever even asked to help with... anything. Not even just decorating the hall. They all stayed in a cabin the night before, which I understand where I wasn't part of the party, I wasn't part of that but... Fuck I didn't even KNOW I was the only one left out until the day of, made all the worse with my partner not being able to attend. I'd never felt so alone in such a big crowd. But, that day wasn't about me. I hid and had a little cry but I pulled it together and got through it. I had to leave early to catch a flight, so I missed the real party, but again that's nobody's fault. And I don't want to make anyone feel bad about how sad it all made me. I don't want to sour that day.
A little while ago, cousin invited me over for some gaming, and I had to cancel last minute due to a migraine. I felt awful and apologized profusely. They and my sibling played together another day instead, I later learned.
More recently, I heard my sibling mention in passing that there was a day out fishing with cousin. We used to do that together, all three of us. Why wasn't I invited? But these two are the best friends you'd ever see, and I get they wanna do things together themselves sometimes.
Last week, cousin invited me to a board game night, but my partner was working and I didn't wanna be a third wheel with cousin and his spouse having just had some devastating news. I'd only just heard of said news a few hours before and was admittedly afraid of the idea of being the only other one there but... Turns out I'd've been the fifth wheel. I wish I had known. I would've gone.
This weekend, we lit our firepit for the first time and I asked in the group chat if anyone wanted to come and hang out. No takers. That's ok, it was very last minute anyway. Maybe another time.
Just today. Pictures on FB. Cousin took a week-long vacation and the others joined up with them now and then. Fishing, hiking, just hanging out.
I read this awful post once. "Every group chat has a second group chat excluding one member. If you're not part of that chat, it's you."
It's me.
But I have no right to complain. Like I said, cousin got some bad news and I don't want to pile on. My sibling's wedding is being complicated by in-law drama, so now's not the time to be sad over my ruined nuptials. That trip was about my cousin's partner proposing to her, I shouldn't make it about me. My spouse is a total homebody, he's not too bothered that as my plus one he's being excluded too. He knows I'm hurt by these things, but I don't want to worry him when he's adjusting to the stresses of a new job, so I can't talk about it like this with him right now.
These are the main recent examples. I know this is just a few incidents. I know they might seem small or petty to some. I know I'm still loved... don't I? When I was beckoned to join my siblings for a photo at the wedding, just the core four of us and the bride... For a second there, a terrible fleeting moment, I didn't believe it was me they were beckoning. Why would they? It's me.
It's only me.
If they don't want me there for the good times, why would I ever want to burden them with my bad feelings.

2024.05.21 15:54 Ok-Fill433 Odd electrical issue, looking for ideas.
So I woke up this morning to what presented as a dead battery. Hold brake, push start button, followed by a series of clicks from the starter and all dash lights lighting up. Car was parked in the garage last night from about 10pm-8am this morning. Tried disconnecting battery to make sure it wasn't just a computesensor error. After jump starting the car, I confirmed nothing was left on (although everything turns itself off even if you leave it on anyways). Car was running finee with nothing left on. Drive to work 20 minutes with no issues. However the entire time the gas gauge was reading empty and the gas light was on, also received warning for fuel on my media screen. I drove less than 100 miles since fill up and know I had about 2/3 of a tank last night when I got home.
Once at work I turned the car off. It restarted with no issue, but still presented with gas light on and gauge reading empty. When I opened the door, the car chimes as if the ignition or something was left on. I disconnected the battery to avoid drain.
About 30 minutes later I came out with a coworker to take a look at it. Once battery was connected, no chime or issues. Car started with working gas gauge. No chime after powering off.
I have left the battery connected to see what happens. I plan to call dealership and have them take a look. Likely will not find anything unless there is some kind of code or battery drain memory.
Any thoughts?
2022 WRX Limited, CVT, no modifications besides a hard wired (to fuse panel) dash cam that has been installed for all over a year with no issues.

2024.05.21 15:54 Usual_Store_3365 Have this sudden urge to drown myself in work
My girl broke it off with me over the weekend and it’s too much free time to handle. I spent all my time talking to her and giving her my energy whenever I wasn’t drowning in work. Now that she’s gone I pray for the day to not end, I want to stay in the office and do rosters, plan for training, etc. I went to the fucking Career planner like “hey man they got any recon contracts?”
What’s wrong with me, I’m not mad that she did take up my time and I’m not happy that I have time back, it’s sad to feel an empty void. How do y’all deal with it?

2024.05.21 15:53 TwigCM Genuine explanation of why Danno should be considered for Chuckle Sandwich
Despite his community unfortunately being full of young and annoying children, as he originally got his following from shorts content, Danno has been working on creating a web series called “Toon Turf”
Toon Turf is going to be a cartoon YouTube show about his mascot, Riggy. The pilot takes place on Riggy’s 18th birthday, September 14th 2019, when he moves to a town called “Toonville”
Riggy’s goal when moving to Toonville was to begin a new life, help people, and become a hero, because his life at home was pretty rough. He was a middle child and his older brother was studying to become a doctor.
However, Riggy’s plans went terribly wrong. While trying to become a hero, he got caught up in something much darker and everything went downhill. He ends up becoming a horrible criminal, committing hundreds of crimes and killing thousands. But he had his reasons, so is he truly a villain? Or a hero with a few bumps in the road?
The show is a dark comedy and deals with many serious topics, such as government corruption, organized crime, drug dealing and abuse, how guilt can eat you away, purpose and destiny.
Oh, and of course, death. There’s a lot of death.
This is all to say, Danno is so much more than a mid shorts creator, shorts might seem like his main focus, but in reality, the shorts are just a means to an end. Shorts get his content out there, so he can show everyone what he’s really made of.

2024.05.21 15:53 Goliath-Yeeter-2263 Retro Review #25: Power Rangers Dino Fury: Season 2 Episode 1 - Numero Uno
 | Yeah, I know it’s been a minute and I’ve been super inconsistent since I started doing these again, but it’s because I was very busy with school. Since finals are all done now, I’m hoping to put more of these out. submitted by Goliath-Yeeter-2263 to powerrangers [link] [comments] The episode starts off in Pine Ridge where everything seems peaceful until a Sporix attacks. All of the sudden, Zayto starts hopping from roof to roof until striking the sporix. The other rangers minus Amelia show up as well and Javi finishes it with a Stego Fury Strike. The rangers demorph and grab the sporix. It also turns out that the rangers are trying to see how fast they can take to destroy a sporix beast. Amelia shows up and apologizes for being late. It turns out that she’s actually filling in for Jane who is on vacation so she has a lot of work on her plate. The rangers all go their separate ways, with Zayto and Aiyon taking the Sporix back to base. At Buzz Blast, Amelia is completely running the show. She gets a call from Jane who is in a hot air balloon with J-Borg. Jane asks if Amelia can run the office for a few more months since she wants to extend her vacation. Some boss you are, Jane. Amelia is glad for the offer, but her face shows she isn’t sure she can do it. At Dinohenge, Ollie is on the phone with his mom who is working in Japan. Zayto, Aiyon, and Solon are looking at a solar system in hopes of finding Rafkon. Ollie tells them that they may find an answer in library books about stars. Aiyon says that this “Lie Barry” person sounds shifty. Ok this made me laugh a bit. Ollie tells him it’s a building and gives him the address. At Area 62, Slyther wants to go into Void Knight’s secret room since he’s destroyed and can’t prevent him from going in. Mucus is about to slam a wrecking ball into the locked door. She rides on it and slams herself against the door turning her to slime. The door is also unharmed. A picture of Void Knight then pops up on the screens and he calls out for Mucus and Slyther, who are shocked he is still alive. Mucus calls him an imposter when a new Sporix Beast named Bitscream comes out of the computer. Void Knight says his plan requires something from the rangers. At the library, Aiyon who is holding a ton of books on astronomy is walking out with Javi and Izzy and he asks them if they wanna help. Izzy turns it down since her astronomy test is next week. I’m sorry, who the heck takes astronomy in high school? Seriously I haven’t met a single person who did. Izzy’s phone rings with the exact same ringtone as my grandmother. It’s Fern! She picks it up but can’t hear anything due to what seems to be a jammed signal. Her phone becomes all pixelated and Bitscream pops out of it. The three rangers morph. Aiyon takes a hard hit. They keep fighting the sporix. They use a bunch of power ups and get very close to finishing him, but he ends up teleporting away. Aiyon finds his books all dirty near a destroyed flower shop. The owner sees his destroyed flower cart and cries very realistically. He begs the rangers to fix it and Javi uses a power up to do so. There’s something off about the owner though. Bitstream then pops out of a security camera and grabs Javi’s Fix-It Dino Key and leaves. At the base, Amelia is upset that Buzz Blast’s servers are down. The rangers are also curious why the villains needed their fix it key. Zayto highlights that they can’t even use it without a Chromofury saber. They even have Void Knight’s saber in the base. Javi points out that Void Knight could still be alive, as he’s usually the one that gives orders to them. The rangers plan to investigate. They plan to find security footage of Bitscreem. Amelia then finds out Buzz Blast’s backup server is down too, and has to leave base to go there. The rangers find the footage and also see the flower shop owner turn into Slyther. Mucus and Bitscreem go to him and bow down to someone on a tablet, who is likely Void Knight. As Izzy is about to leave to tell Amelia, she sees a familiar pixelation on the computer. She tells the rangers they should try to destroy Void Knight’s Saber before anyone can use a key with it. Bitscreem who is spying from inside the computer is worried that the rangers will go through with it, as Void Knight needs his saber. Aiyon is hesitant but Izzy says it’s ok. She quickly closes and covers up the computer. The rangers get confused by Zayto realizes someone was likely listening to them. Izzy tells them what’s happening and they realize everything Izzy said is only bait to lure out Void Knight. Back at Area 62, the villains are coming up with a plan to get the saber back. Outside Dinohenge, the rangers set up dynamite to destroy the saber. Amelia is hesitant to believe Void Knight is still alive, but leaves to take a call. The rangers all begin going over the plan in a scripted manner. Amelia takes charge and tells the rangers to hide. She gets another call and picks it up. Slyther and Mucus show up and Bitscreem starts listening to Amelia. He pops out of her phone and grabs Void Knight’s Saber and teleports away. Javi is mad at Amelia and she says she had to take a call. The rangers now don’t know if Void Knight is alive. The villains confront them and the rangers morph up. Mucus and Slyther leave and Bitscreem teases the rangers saying they’ll never find him. Zayto tells Solon to send the T-Rex and Cosmic Combo Raptor Zords. He forms the T-Rex Cosmic Megazord. Zayto uses Cosmic Gateway to enter the computer to face off against Bitscreem. He blasts him but finds out Bitscreem can reboot himself. Zayto uses the Cosmic Gateway Strike to finish him and destroys him, even though it was just established he can reboot himself. What? At Area 62, an unmorphed Void Knight has his Saber back, who is happy to have his powers back. He grabs his helmet and tells his comatose wife that the wait is nearly over. The rangers are examining the computer until it suddenly explodes. The Sporix comes out, but Void Knight comes in to grab it and leaves. At Buzz Blast, Amelia apologizes to the other rangers and confesses that she has to choose one responsibility, between being a ranger and running Buzz Blast. She calls Jane who is just waking in to tell her she needs to step down. Jane gets her attention from behind to Amelia’s surprise. Her and J-Borg start talking about their trip and how their hot air balloon was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Their footage inside their camera bag then turns to dust from the heat of the eruption. They walk away and Amelia tells them it’s good to have them back. Zayto says it’s good to have Amelia back too. The episode ends there. Yeah this episode was kind of so so. It’s the first episode of the season, yet a lot of it felt very fillery. There was really nothing new to come out of this. We know Void Knight was still alive because of the finale of season 1. Not much else went on. Bitscreem was a solid monster of the week though and he actually gave the rangers a hard time. I also thought the Megazord fight was pretty cool, even though Bitscreem’s rebooting ability got retconned like 5 seconds after it was established. I don’t know, I really don’t think highly of this episode. There should’ve been more that went on, especially since this is a season premiere. This episode’s rating, is a 4/10. |
2024.05.21 15:53 cute-and-stupid AITA for not wanting my man to move to another province without me?
Hello Reddit! Please be nice with my writing style, I have autism. I (F25) and my boyfriend (M25) have been together for 2 years, living together for 1.5 years. He came to my city originally for a girl he was with, but clearly, that did not work out. He then met me and moved in together after half a year (his ex never lived with him, and we moved into a new place from his old one). Everything between us has been great! He even told me he wants to propose to me this year! He pays the shared bills and rent (his choice), and I do all the housework (cooking, cleaning, laundry, making his favourite muffins every Sunday, etc).
I am in university, and I have 1 year left. Technically, my last semester can be fully online, so I only need to stay in this province for 3.5 extra months once our lease is up on September 1st. I work as a bartender in a small town. He LOVES his blue-collar job, and he is able to work anywhere he wants in Canada. He really likes his boss and co-workers as well!
Here's the issue: my boyfriend wants to move to the opposite side of my country (Canada) once our lease is up. We are able to live month to month until the end of December. He is very headstrong about going without me and having me move back in with my parents (which he knows is a VERY TOXIC environment). I cannot afford to stay moved out because all of my money is going to tuition and personal bills. He wants to move there without me and have me join in December.
His points (to keep this fair): 1) $2000 a month goes to utilities and rent, therefore he cannot save money (he makes a minimum of $55K per year), 2) He hates the province we live in because it is overpopulated, 3) although he has loads of friends and family here, he has some in the new province. He would be living with his dad until he finds a place in the new province. 4) he can go and find us a HOUSE before I get there, so I do not have to live with his dad (contradicts his wants to save money), 5) It's only 3.5 months of separation.
My points on why I hate this: 1) why would you leave your partner alone in a place they also hate? 2) Do I not have a say in this matter because I do not pay rent? If he paid me as if I were a housekeeper, I would be making more than half the rent in 1 month, so I think I do my fair share. 3) If he really thinks of me as his future wife, why is he making plans without me? 4) he has said countless times how much he loves our place, living with me, visiting his buddies all the time, and how much he loves his job and work environment. Why leave so quickly if he loves his life at the moment? Won't it be easier to move together in one go? 5) it's 3.5 months of separation...
He doesn't want to talk to me about it AT ALL and almost laughs at my emotions about the situation. He wants to make his final choice at the END OF AUGUST, which makes me worry that I won't have any time to plan. I doubt he is breaking up with me because everything between us is amazing besides this issue. He has no signs of cheating, and I have access to his phone whenever (I play a frog game on his phone sometimes; that's as far as I typically go into his phone). I do not understand why he can't wait 3.5 months to move WITH me. I know his dad likes me and loves my cooking, so I do not think it's his dad not wanting me there (whenever I see his dad, he goes on a rant about how lucky my bf is for finding a homemaker; if I lived there I would cook and clean for everyone as I know his dad won't want us to pay rent).
AITA for being upset about this? Are his points reasonable for leaving me behind? Please help!

I am in university, and I have 1 year left. Technically, my last semester can be fully online, so I only need to stay in this province for 3.5 extra months once our lease is up on September 1st. I work as a bartender in a small town. He LOVES his blue-collar job, and he is able to work anywhere he wants in Canada. He really likes his boss and co-workers as well!
Here's the issue: my boyfriend wants to move to the opposite side of my country (Canada) once our lease is up. We are able to live month to month until the end of December. He is very headstrong about going without me and having me move back in with my parents (which he knows is a VERY TOXIC environment). I cannot afford to stay moved out because all of my money is going to tuition and personal bills. He wants to move there without me and have me join in December.

2024.05.21 15:53 HRZN420 I'm planning to travel back to my home country. Can I buy a game once I'm there (it's cheaper over there), and still play it where I live currently when I come back? How does this work?

 | Recreational marijuana was recently legalized in my state and so far the laws are very nice to small/home businesses. The big weed lobbyists are already working to change it and push us out but that's another topic. submitted by SoggyHotdish to IceWaterHash [link] [comments] I've been slowly accumulating top tier equipment and am literally running out of space so I've been searching for a small wearhouse/commercial space I could rent. To make it cheaper & because it's all I need I plan to semi-secretly live there for a year or so. I was doing more research this morning and happened across this Press Club article with a room layout that had me cracking up because it's so spot on. |
2024.05.21 15:52 pagenotdisplayed New York, Nassau County - how to choose between 6 providers for Essential Plan 1 through NY State of Health
Wife and I are eligible for the Essential Plan 1 from NY State of health for health insurance. We live in Nassau County at the moment, may move to Brooklyn in a few months. We have choice between 6 provider (healthfirst, fidelis, embledhealth, anthen, affinity by molina, united healthcare)
How the hell do we go about comparing / choosing a provider? We have no pre-existing doctors with whom we need coverage for, as we just moved here. We simply want the network with the best/broadest coverage and services.
It was my belief that United Healthcare's main employee/individual plan was very, because it was very expensive and in my research I read that United's network of providers is huge in NY. However, they have a 1 star rating for their Essential Plan. Full quality ratings per nystateofhealth.ny.gov are:
Should I just go with Healthfirst? Does United still offer their broad provider network even for the Essential Plan? Anything else I can consider when making this decision? Any help greatly appreciated!!!

2024.05.21 15:51 Experto1201 Random black screen/signal loss while gaming.
Hello! Sorry for any grammar mistakes in advance, I'm Hungarian. So I've been dealing with this problem since last October. I bought an Asus TUF RX 6900 XT near the end of 2022 and it worked flawlessly for nearly a year then these random black screens started to appear. I shouldn't even say black screen because the monitor just doesn't get any signal. My MSI motherboard does the 1 long 2 short beeps that indicates graphics card issue according to their site. After this I have to power down the PC. The reset button doesn't work. I tried so many things already:
- Changing the cable, trying both HDMI and displayport in different ports on both the monitor and the card - Did a DDU session, even resinstalled Windows and upgraded to 11 from 10 - Updated the drivers many times since the issue started to appear.
-I updated the motherboard chipset drivers as well and even the BIOS in my desperation - I took out the card, cleaned it, plugged in different power cables after re inserting it - Checked the temps while gaming and they are completely fine. Edge temp is barely above 60 and hotspot is around 75. - I did a VRAM test and everything was fine - Undervolted and underclocked the card
- Run different stress tests: Built in Adrenalin, Furmark and Furmark 2, Superposition but these never produced a crash even after half an hour. If you think the PSU might be at fault, well not very likely. Even after I used MPT and let my card pull 410 watts while I also stress tested my overclocked Ryzen 5 5600 that also pulled nearly 90 watts, my Thermaltake Toughpower 850W platinum was doing just fine. Meanhwile crashes still happen when my card only uses about 200w in certain games. Funny thing is I managed to overlock my card to get 12414 points in Superposition 1080p extreme which is among the best air cooled RX 6900 XTs LOL.
- I changed my 4x8 Gb Corsair ram kits to 2x16 G.skill - The warranty is still active but guess what? All they did was running a 3D Mark stress test for 10 minutes and of course that didn't crashed so they said the card is fine...
So about the games. Some games are straight up unplayable like the new Indika or Horizon Zero Dawn and crashes happen after a few minutes or even seconds, meanwhile Death Stranding (that uses the same engine) has never crashed. There is also a middle ground with other games like Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate 3 or Fallout 76 that can run for hours but still produce a crash sometimes. Some of these games use different launchers and they are on different SSD's. One SSD is NVME the other one is SATA. So quite a lot of things are already ruled out.
Next I'm planning to change the CPU to a Ryzen 7 5700X but I highly doubt that would solve the problem.
Any ideas what else could be done?

2024.05.21 15:51 terryleewhite What's New in the May 2024 Lightroom Release?
 | Hi everyone, Terry White from Adobe here, and I'm happy to share the news about today's Adobe Photography Release (May 2024). There are updates across the Lightroom Ecosystem to include Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom on Mobile, and Lightroom on Web. submitted by terryleewhite to Lightroom [link] [comments] Today, we are introducing a groundbreaking feature in Lightroom-Generative Remove, powered by Firefly. This innovative tool allows you to effortlessly eliminate distractions from your photos with a single brush stroke, all without the need to switch to Photoshop. We've also improved Lens Blur (which was in Early Access), making it easier than ever to control the depth of field in your photos with professional results. Easily remove distractions with Generative Remove (early access)Available on Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom for mobile (iOS & Android), Lightroom for web, and Adobe Camera Rawhttps://i.redd.it/axpim9fmas1d1.gif With Generative Remove, powered by Firefly, you can easily remove unwanted objects and distractions, even on complex backgrounds, in just a few simple steps. Distractions can ruin an otherwise great photo. Generative Remove allows you to quickly remove them with realistic, high-quality results. Generative Remove uses Firefly technology to intelligently fill the photo behind removed items. The results on complex backgrounds are particularly impressive, like matching a detailed wallpaper pattern or the fabric on a plaid shirt. Lightroom will even give you a few variations to choose from so you'll have full creative control in picking the one you like best. \Note that the previous "Heal" tool is now called "Remove." You'll find Generative Remove within the Remove tool, accessible via a toggle on Lightroom mobile or a check box on Lightroom for web, Lightroom Classic, and Lightroom.* Generative Remove is powered by Firefly Image 1 Model and is available today as an early access feature to Lightroom paid plan subscribers across the Lightroom ecosystem via mobile, desktop, iPad, web and Classic. Get a pro-quality background blur with AI-powered Lens BlurAvailable on Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom for mobile (iOS & Android), Lightroom for web, and Adobe Camera Rawhttps://i.redd.it/h43ibvxnas1d1.gif Our improved Lens Blur uses the power of AI to map the foreground and background of your image to apply a pro-quality blur effect. Blur busy backgrounds to make your portraits pop, add a dramatic blur to nature photos to make the greenery stand out, or get a dreamy, blurred background from a sparkling city skyline at night. With the interactive and flexible controls of Lens Blur, you can play around with the blur amount, change the shape of the light points or "bokeh," and customize the area you want to blur using the focus range tool. This new release of Lens Blur includes better subject detection, the ability to create custom presets, and batch editing capabilities. Please note that the latter two features are coming soon to Android devices. Get the perfect blur effect in a click with new Lens Blur Adaptive PresetsAvailable on Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom for mobile (iOS & Android), Lightroom for web, and Adobe Camera RawToday, we also introduce a set of brand-new adaptive presets for Lens Blur that use AI technology to apply a blur effect that's tailor-made to your photo. Presets are great for quickly finding the perfect blur look without having to dig into fine-tuned edits. You can choose from seven Blur Background adaptive presets that change the shape and style of the blur in the background: Subtle, Strong, Circle, Bubble, Geometric, Ring, or Swirl. After you pick a preset, you can adjust the strength of the blur with the amount slider or customize the effect further by using the Lens Blur tool controls. What else is new in the latest Lightroom releaseWe've also made several updates across the Lightroom ecosystem that give you more creative control and flexibility when working on your photos and videos.Enjoy Sony tethering support Available in Lightroom Classic on the latest Sony digital cameras such as the Alpha 7 IV and Alpha 7R V – for a full list see here. See your images on a big screen as soon as you click the camera shutter. We're expanding support for tethering by adding the latest Sony digital cameras so you can photograph directly into Lightroom Classic, saving precious time on your workflow. It's now even easier to review photo details, edit in real-time, and collaborate with on-set production teams and clients. For a full list of all newly supported cameras in Lightroom see this page. Easily move cloud files to your local drive Available on Lightroom At last year's Adobe MAX conference, we introduced local storage for Lightroom — the option to work with your photos and videos in Lightroom without having to import or sync them to the cloud. With this release, it's now easier to move or archive your photos off the Lightroom Cloud and store them on your computer's internal drive, an external drive, or a local server. This is great when you want to free up space on the cloud, or for file management such as archiving past projects to a local drive. You can select multiple files within an album, or an entire album to move to your local drive. Lightroom will ask what folder structure you'd like to use, so you can preserve the album structure locally as you move it off the cloud. This is especially useful if you have a high volume of photos and are working with numerous files at a time. Edit videos with the Tone Curve Available on Lightroom You can now edit videos in Lightroom using Tone Curve. This graph-based tool enables you to fine-tune a video's brightness and contrast by simply dragging the curve control points up or down. For example, if a point on the tone curve is moved up, it becomes a lighter tone; if it is moved down, it becomes darker. Create and play slideshows in Lightroom Available on Lightroom Lightroom now has a slideshow feature so you can display selected photos from your library in a slideshow format — a great way to share edits with clients, family, or friends. Performance, reliability, and workflow enhancements to Lightroom ClassicWe've also made the following improvements to Lightroom Classic, so that it performs smoothly and enables you to work more efficiently:

2024.05.21 15:51 emorydoll How do I go about putting my custom graphic designs on products?
I work for a dog-related business and have created a lot of graphic designs of people’s pets for events. I do the same for a lot of family/friend gifts. I want to be able to take a commission for someone’s pet, make their design, and then put it on an object (t-shirt, mug, sticker, etc.) and sell it to them. How should I go about this?
I first looked into Cricut, but it seems like it will be more costly than it’s worth to buy all the machines and accessories and materials, especially for individual custom projects. I thought about Redbubble, but I’ve heard that the pay cut for the artist is extremely small. I’ve used Custom Ink or Walgreens printing for gifts before, but would those be my best options cost-wise?
I would like to be able to offer a variety of customized products, but each commission being only one product seems to complicate things. I would love to hear any advice y’all can give me!

2024.05.21 15:51 devsfan1830 Over the past week, cat has peed multiple times on the carpet instead of the litter box. Vet claims to be booked solid. I have no idea what to do.
Sorry this is long.
So, last week a few things happened. Had an old couch hauled away, which my 2 cats used to enjoy sleeping under and behind. I then rented a carpet cleaner. Did the whole house. Before this, since about late 2020, I had out of box pee incidents as well. 2 on my bed (Mattress protector and bedding saved me there), one in the corner of my bedroom. All of these coincided with trips away. The cat in question frequently sleeps in my bedroom and unless its me, hides there when someone is here. What didn't help was that while on telework for the covid stuff, I was the only one home 24/7 and while my go-to pet sitter knew them as kittens, over a year went by where they never saw her. The one cat in question basically sleeps all day in my room. So, when i started taking trips to see friends and family again, I chalked the incidents to him being spooked to come out.
Cut to now. Couch gone, loud machine present. He pees once while I'm upstairs using the machine, which is also where the litter boxes are. So, he pees. I think, ok, scary machine. He had to go. Not happy he peed on a just cleaned floor but ok. Douse it in a enzyme cleaner I still had. The smell of that stuff is honestly worse than the pee smell. Machine goes back. He has now peed 4 MORE times since. 3 in the vicinity of the 1st one, 1 up ion my bedroom in the corner that has been clean and incident free since those trips. I started closing my door for trips so that he was forced to stay downstairs, which seemed to have worked because he stopped hiding on her.
Now I'm a bit freaked out. So I called my vet. I get told i should bring him in to be checked for urinary issues, but they are booked solid and I was put on a "fit in" list. This feels outrageous. They book SO tight they cant be available for a potential emergency? Just this morning I located what I think were 2 MORE accidents. Again, in the vicinity of what I THOUGHT were cleaned up living room messes.
I'm at my wits end. I don't know what to do to make it stop. They have two large, regularly cleaned boxes upstairs. Hell they used to be perfectly fine sharing ONE. I know its # of cats +1. My house layout SUCKS for that. I can only fit these 2 top entry boxes where they are now. The entire bottom floor is an "open" floorplan with a stupid tiny half bath. There's literally nowhere down there for one that isn't just in the middle of the room. If this isn't a temporary urinary tract issue, then I have no idea what to do. Add to that i have a brand new couch arriving Thursday and I may lose it if he pees on THAT. I also don't know if I should start calling other vets/hospitals to get him in today. I'm kind of pissed my current vet has given me ZERO idea of when they might be available and in the meantime he may keep on peeing everywhere. I was already annoyed they switched my cats from a 3 year to 1 year rabies booster. Still feels like an odd cash grab or something but that's another issue.
I need help. Should I drop this vet? If its NOT a urinary issue, what in the hell do I do short of ripping up the carpet to ditch every trace of previous accidents. (a switch to LVP was planned but there's no way in hell that happens till at least next spring).

2024.05.21 15:51 thisissubjective I want to be invisible after binging
I planned a trip with my long distance boyfriend for the weekend. I haven’t seen him in 2 months and I planned to fast and lose weight before I see him. I did so well the first 6 weeks and I ruined everything the last 3 weeks. I’ve been binging everyday and I gained back everything I lost. I feel disgusting and I look disgusting. I don’t want to see him anymore. I paid so much money to book the trip, I can’t get a refund, but I don’t even care. I just want to time to stop and be invisible till I lose more weight. I’m so mad at myself for sabotaging the trip. It’s like I wanted to ruin it for myself. I don’t want him to see me. I’m worried he’ll think I’m ugly and if I went we’d stay together in the same room so he’d have to see me get dressed and he’ll see me naked. I don’t know what to do. He’s so excited for the trip but I want to cry every time I think about it. I love having a long distance bf bc I keep thinking I’ll lose weight in between us seeing each other and he’ll like me more each time he sees me but every time we plan a trip I self sabotage and end up binging and hating myself the entire time. I know it’s not healthy but can someone tell me logically how bad I messed up. I gained 5kg during the binge and I’m meant to see him in two days. I know I can’t lose them back in two days so I just want to cancel or postpone. He already took two days off work I feel so guilty but I’m too embarrassed to let him see me. I wish I was normal. I wish I always looked good and didn’t have to starve myself to look good.

2024.05.21 15:50 itsmyrighttowin Self employed - health insurance rant.
How is this affordable? My wife and I are both self employed in the healthcare industry.. 1099 contractors... Two children in college. This sucks. I hate what our gov did to f-up our healthcare. Before the ACA we had wonderful coverage, BCBC PPO. 80/20. Decent deductible. Copays. Paid about $350/mth for family of 4... which seemed like a lot back then. Here's what it would cost me now. Almost $1976/mth for UHC, bronze-X Value. I can't work more hours than I already do. I don't qualify for subsidies because our combined income is too high. The kids in college can get a shitty student policy for about $500/mth for the two of them. Been rolling the dice with one of those shared expense plans (CHM) but I don't trust them to be there if something serious like cancer or major accident happens. What is someone in my situation supposed to do? Spare me the "get a job" comments or "get a spouse with insurance" comments. Too old to join the military. Too young for Medicare. Too poor and too rich at the same time.

2024.05.21 15:50 freddiemercurial 45 [M4F] UK/Anywhere - I cling, therefore I am
Not necessarily emotionally, but physically. I love hugging and cuddling, and I'll want to attach to you like a limpet attaches itself to a rock. If it's physical shows of affection that you're after, I'm your man.
I’m after the relationship that goes the distance, the one that results in love and, when the time is right, the ‘m word’. I can’t think of anything I look forward to more than spending my life with the woman I love.
I love physical displays of affection, both public and otherwise. Gestures like holding, hugging, etc, are something I adore and would always welcome, especially because I love the excitement and warm feeling that come with being close to the one you love.
The person I am after is someone who is kind and caring, somebody that I can relaxed around. I don’t want the stress of being around someone who gets set off my the smallest thing. My sense of humour is varied, although it can best be described as something of a mix of Chandler Bing (RIP) and Edmund Blackadder.
When we’re together, my ideal night would involve spending our time at home, curled up on the sofa together and watching a film, or playing a game, although I’m not against the occasional day/night out if it’s just the two of us.I watch little in the way of current TV or films, and almost no sport. My main solo hobbies can be found on my friends post.
If we’re apart, as I presume we would be in the early days of our relationship, then, because I game a fair bit, I’d be open to you watching me play something, or vice versa if you game as well. We could also chat while we play our own individual games. We can also watch films, TV, etc, or whatever may bring us closer together.
I’m in the UK, so I would prefer to talk to someone who is also in the UK, as it would make things convenient for the both of us, and it would also make meeting up easier, and I would want to meet up if things progress well. However, I am open to talking to people who are overseas, as long as you’re moving to the UK in the near future, and that the move is, if not set in stone, then is at least guaranteed to happen or to be able to happen. Be aware that I am unable to travel overseas, although not for any nefarious reason.
I’m a vegetarian, though I don’t mind being around meat eaters as long as they’re respectful of how I feel. I don’t drink and, while I’m okay being with someone who does, it won’t work if you’re a person who drinks frequently. I’m non-religious and non-spiritual, and this will never change, and my views are generally what you’d call progressive and liberal. Disparate views are one thing, but if you use terms like ‘PC/PC culture’, ‘liberal’ or ‘woke’ as pejoratives, we will not get along. In addition, I do not smoke and will not be with a smoker.
I’m okay with either private messaging or Reddit chat, though I’d like to move off Reddit once we both feel comfortable doing so. Once we’ve moved to a different platform, exchanging pictures is then also something that would be done once we’re both comfortable, as would voice and video chat, especially because the best way to really get to know someone is through real-time communication.
Your opening message doesn’t have to be that long, just give me something to work with, something that can spark conversation. If you have any questions, queries, posers, then feel free to ask.

2024.05.21 15:50 ishould-be-studying Is it okay to let my in-laws babysit the day after they’ve been traveling?
I (26F) am a first year medical student, and I have finals this week. My in-laws have been watching L (6week M) every Tuesday while I’m at school. We have had this plan in place for months, with the dates they were needed to babysit known. Come to find out this past Friday that my in-laws were traveling to Seattle to visit my SIL, but they still planned to come back Monday so they could babysit Tuesday. They travelled by plane, which makes me nervous because of how easily germs are spread in airports. My husband (31M) works early mornings, so he couldn’t take work off last minute to watch L while I’m taking a test. My in-laws waited until they were already traveling to tell us they were going, so we didn’t have enough time to make other arrangements. They are watching L this morning, but my husband made them promise to take extra precautions (washing hands, no kissing, etc.) I am still very worried that L is going to get sick, and he’s only 6 weeks old. Is it normal to be around a baby so soon after travel? My in-laws, my parents, and my husband don’t think it’s a big deal, but I am very concerned. It could just be anxiety, but I would like to know whether I’m overreacting or not.

2024.05.21 15:49 8BOTTOB8 Help me decide between two university offers!
Option A, I have a 4 year degree programme awarding a bachelors of computer engineering which is from a more reputable university than the below.
Option B, I have a 4.5 year degree programme awarding a bachelors in engineering science(with ability to specialise in one of the engineering and where I'll likely choose computer engineering as well) and a masters of science in technology management. The engg bachelor's here has less technical depth as I cover all the intro to engineerings(excluding civil all the major ones) in year 1 and some management modules. Is the generic engineering smth like at Oxbridge and is that considered good? Idk.
A I havent gotten the scholarship yet(it might be offered soon and I can take that into account), while B has a confirmed scholarship. My only fear here of taking B is that I might want to be more specialised in the technicalities of engineering itself rather than business(business could be a minor on option A). Also A is more reputable university and I have plans for potentially masters/phD in engineering in the future so A might put me in a better position to do that than B. However, B has a masters already offered to me when I graduate so idk how that works.
So many things to think abt my head is gonna explode hahahaha but any suggestions about anything in my situation would be greatly helpful to sort my confusion.
Thank you.
