2024.05.22 04:51 Londoncashmeans Getting married in three months to the guy that never took me seriously… cold feet

Hi! This is going to be a long one/rant and story because I really don’t know who to talk to about this in real life because I’m not in therapy and I’m so embarrassed to be feeling this way knowing I made all the choices to be here and people are already flying in from out of state to come to our wedding. Also I’m diagnosed adhd incase any of yall are wondering what’s wrong with me once I tell you all the decisions I made to get here. I am getting married in three months and have a son who is 15 months old. My now fiance 28m and I 27f met whenever we were thirteen years old in middle school and started a tumultuous up and down / on and off again relationship. We were together all the way up until junior year in high school and we broke up. I come from a broken home and he does not. Looking back I realize how much of me staying with him and trying to keep his attention stemmed from my abandonment issues that I must have had from my own parents. After we broke up he joined a gang in my local hometown and I was still in love with him so I decided to still be involved with him even though I was not in a relationship with him. I ended up losing my virginity to him while we were not together just because I wanted to be with him and we said we were friends with benefits but really I was just in love with him and thought by doing that maybe he would want to be with me again but he didn’t and continued to sleep with other girls and do drugs. I also started doing drugs like Xanax and smoking to fit in with him and be cool. I ended up getting a horrible tattoo because one of the other girls he was also seeing had a bunch of tattoos. I dropped out of my high school college courses and ended up going to jail for marijuana in high school and got kicked out of cheer and softball. I ended up on probation and having to be drug tested for a year. Within that year after being heart broken and realizing nothing I did would make him change into who he was before he got involved in our local gang or make him want to be with me… I ended up enrolling in college and getting accepted to a university where I would move about two hours away from our home town to live on campus and study to be a nurse. While on probation, so I couldn’t really party or anything in college which was good (even though I was never really addicted to anything and it wouldn’t be that hard for me) I wanted to save money for a car so I ended up getting a job at the hooters next to my college and was in college full time and working at hooters. My sister happened to go to that same college before I did and live in that town with her ex bf and they would give me rides to and from work back to campus. Low and behold after about two semesters of me being in college and finally feeling like I was moving on from him, he came back messaging me and telling me he missed me and wanted to be with me again. I was stupid and so excited that I agreed and asked him to come see me at college where he would stay for the weekend and we would have an amazing time. I felt so good about myself doing what I was doing and being able to show my growth. Despite all that he was still able to convince me to leave school and come back to be with him and live with him and go to the college near our hometown and work at the hooters near our hometown. I had already felt like I didn’t want to be a nurse at the time because my sister who was a nurse told me you could never leave the state as a nurse if you get your license there (which she didn’t know at the time that you could) and I knew I didn’t want to stay where I was from and wanted to eventually travel. So I decided to leave and move back with him in his bedroom at his parents house where I would work at the hooters close to our home town and never enroll in the college. He would eventually break up with me while I was at work one day even though I was living with him and since I didn’t have a car he continued to take me back in forth from work and I continued to live with him and continued to be in love with him while he committed to the fact that he didn’t want to be in a relationship but wanted to marry me one day and just wasn’t ready for anything right now and still wanted to have sex with me which I did. From working at hooters I had auditioned for the calendar and ended up being really liked by the photographer and started doing some modeling from that which was super exciting for me because I always was interested in that and the pictures we took would blow up and I started getting well known in my area for modeling even though they were just pictures and I wasn’t making any money off of it. Eventually a guy came into hooters telling me about working as an exotic dancer and how much they could make and I still needed a car really badly and was desperate to get out of my ex’s (now fiance) house. So I told him I would be waitressing and that I heard the waitresses make good money there and asked him to give me a ride there one day and so he started giving me a ride everyday. The money was so good to me and the most money I had ever seen. I ended up staying in a hotel closer to the club I worked at and sometimes he would come stay with me and I would just uber to work. Eventually I had gotten a car which I was so happy about. A couple of weeks after I got a car I ended up getting sucked into human trafficking with a friend where I would live in a house with multiple girls for 6 months and go to work at the club every day of the week except Saturday and Sundays. I wasn’t doing anything extra just dancing but the money was going to some random guy. It’s crazy I know. I was stupid and young and my family were not concerned for me at all or involved in my life. unfortunately my friend is just now leaving that situation. I got out without anything no car or nothing and had nowhere to go so back to my exes I went where I decided I was going to buy a cash car again and I worked everyday like I was used to saved money and got a car. Moved to my sisters and stayed with her for a little where i decided I didn’t want to dance anymore and I got a job as a bottle service girl and then waitressing at another waitress. I continued modeling because it made me happy and I never told anyone the truth about the deep things that were happening in my life except for my now fiance. So nobody had no idea about me dancing or the human trafficking or anything. Everyone just knew I modeled. I ended up getting an apartment with some friends and One day I got the urge to go to California randomly and at my waitressing job I was handed $800 and I took it as a sign and booked a flight the next day. Where I went by myself my first time ever on a flight with no plans at all. The day I got there I got asked to be in a commercial two days later. My roommate and her friends flew out there to get me and she ended up being able to be in the commercial with me which ended up on tbs but I had to go back home to my apartment and responsibilities and couldn’t leave my roommate stranded. Even though months later we would end up getting in an argument and I’d move out and move back with my ex (now fiance) where I would continue to work and model (for free) and went back to the club to dance and then my sister ended up going to California for a travel nursing assignment and her and her bf broke up and she asked me to move with her. I had nothing else here, my ex was still saying he didn’t want to be in a relationship, he was consistently sleeping with other girls while we lived together and expected relationship things from me. I was paying for everything for him. I paid for him while he was in school for audio engineer, his gas, lunch, school clothes, shopping, I helped him open his own studio and bought his equipment and Mac for it, even though his parents were very involved in his life. I got all his family bday gifts and Christmas gifts every year. He was honestly just using me but I was so in love and blind. He encouraged me to go to California too so I had nothing else there for me, if he had told me to stay and he wanted to be with me I would’ve. I flew out on my 21st birthday and met my sister and Vegas where we would have such a great time and my ex spent that day hanging out with a girl that tried to fight me and didn’t even tell me happy birthday, I was crying in the bathroom in Vegas until my sister shook me and told me to get it together we’re in Vegas. I was so heart broken to be leaving him but he didn’t care. I got to LA and I instantly started modeling on day one I booked a photo shoot where I met a guy that reminded me of my ex (I know) but we instantly clicked and he was 7 years older than me. We ended up talking for a little bit and pursuing something even though I wasn’t ready emotionally but he didn’t really care and I was kind of star struck a little because he was a music producer for a very famous musician and he was very persistent but that’s another story. I ended up booking a music video as a main girl for my ex’s (now fiance) favorite artist. When it came out it was crazy because I felt like the universe and God was just blessing me for leaving that situation and I knew he would see it because he was so obsessed with that artist and it shook up the whole small town I was from. After that I booked a lot of cool jobs like Sephora and worked with a lot of companies, and did some music videos for other super famous artists, and walked in fashion shows and modeled for clothing brands etc. I was working all the time as an extra to pay my bills and I was meeting cool people. I was always getting invited to celebrities parties and just having such a fun time. I decided to start getting into acting instead and started going to acting school where a lot of well known celebrities also went to and I started having meetings with very popular directors and I was being mentored by famous directors and another person that created an tv entertainment channel that I won’t say here also mentored me a lot and got me a lot of meetings with these people and would go to dinners and stuff etc with a list celebrities. I truly was living the life. And coming from where I can it was almost a dream. I had gotten in a relationship my first year there with that other guy I mentioned who ended up being super possessive of me but he treated me like a queen in the sense of paying for everything, giving me a safe space to tell my feelings, open up, the sex was amazing, he would take me on trips, took me out of the country for the first time. We ended up not working out due to lifestyle differences and just being at two different places and wanting different things. He wanted to move out of the country and have a farm and I wasn’t ready to do that as I wanted to focus on my career. (But I would die to move out of the country on a farm now ironically and he is doing just that now like he said he would haha) anyway, I ended up having my own studio apartment by myself that I loved so much and was so proud of. My sister had moved to Montana and it took a lot for me to get my apartment like staying in a house with other girls for a little to sleeping in my car and at a spa for a couple days. When I would fly home or drive home to see my family I would always see my ex, everytime. We kept a friendship and sometimes I would still help him out if needed, he was interning at a church through his school for audio engineering and recording people at his studio in our hometown. By this time I was going to New York and Miami also sometimes and doing work there. I wasn’t as stressed about bills anymore. I was seeing guys every now and then but not at all interested in a relationship, my heart was still healing from the past and both my exes but mainly my first (now fiance). I was super focused on my career and optimistic, I was used to the grind and in no way ever thinking of quitting. It just wasn’t an option because I knew I would make it wherever that would be because to me that is all I had for me and all I ever knew I wanted and the only thing that saved me. Skip to around October 2019 I had found out about a girl my ex was seeing and it crushed me. He was doing with her just like he was with me though. Just “friends with benefits” I was living in my apartment in LA still and my uncle that helped raise me was getting really sick back home and put on hospice so I decided to take a trip back to see him. I would go to restaurants in my state and near my home town and people would ask to take pictures with me, and at the little ceasars drive through someone asked if I was me and stuff it was crazy because I hadn’t been home in awhile and I felt like what I was doing was finally paying off and people were recognizing me. It was surreal. I ended up going to see my ex. I had such a fear of losing him to this other girl for some reason. I was so scared he would get her pregnant or get in a serious relationship since I was gone so far away and I would never be with him, I would end up sleeping with him again and the girl found out and drove by his house mad and cussing me out and throwing stuff at me. We ended up getting in a fight which is so embarrassing and beneath me. I ended up crying to him that I wanted to be with him and don’t know why he never wanted to be with me which at this time he honestly was not even in my playing field anymore. He told me if I wanted to be with him I had to move back to my hometown.. my heart dropped to my stomach and I knew it wasn’t what I was supposed to do but I said okay… all because this is what I had wanted all those years. I decided to stay where the next two years all I would think about everyday was I was making the wrong decision and needed to go back to my life. My hometown had nothing for me.. COVID hit a couple months after me being there and we were terrified. We ended up getting everything out of my apartment and moving into a house around the corner from his parents. I had to tell him how I liked to communicate now without yelling and stuff which I learned from the boyfriend I had in LA and that I wasn’t going to put up with that disrespect but he never listened. Eventually everything went back to normal. I ended up going back to the club again dancing because I didn’t want to go backward and model here. He never wanted me to go back to LA even for a little bit even though that’s where my career and heart was so I had no idea what to do with my life. I started waitressing as well and getting back on my adhd meds. People started pressuring us to get pregnant and we tried for a year and 6 months. The month I found out I was pregnant before I knew, I quit my job and decided I was going to move back and get my life back. Two days later I found out I was pregnant…. Finally after trying for over a year. Our relationship was toxic just like the past he always yelled, I could never talk to him about my feelings without him saying I was trying to fight, he spit in my face once, threatened me, put his hands on me, he would tell me he was going to take my baby away from me as soon as I had it. I started asking him about getting married while I was pregnant and the proposal wasn’t even that. He got mad at me for asking one day and walked in the room and handed me the ring. It didn’t fit because I was pregnant & it was $27 (not that that matters but the proposal sucked).. he drained both my bank accounts and they closed it, charged my credit card up and put me in debt, he has not let me do anything I want to do like school or anything. He is so bad with money. He has an action figure addiction and at one point was spending 3k on action figures every month and turned one of the rooms in our house into a collection room so I had to take everything out of my closet and put my sons crib in there for the first year of his life. we have good times and I feel comfortable with him. He knows everything about me but he doesn’t respect me and sometimes I feel like he is intimidated by me. The sex isn’t good at all we always just ask “do you want to have sex” he never gives oral or foreplay, I never get pleasure. He’s an amazing dad though and loves his son. We have the most sweet and beautiful little boy now who I love so much and he loves him also. He’s very attentive to his son. But I still feel unheard. I can’t talk about my feelings. If I do it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t change anything. He is so defensive and we never communicate for a solution it’s always just pointing fingers. I have started yelling again because I’m so used to it now and I hate it because I grew up like that and I finally grew out of it until I got back with him and recently started again and now he throws it in my face and knows I begged him not to do it forever but he never stopped and now I am too. I’ve asked him to take me to the movies and he hasn’t still. I just ask for more romance and stuff but it just feels like I have a roommate. I have nothing now. I had my car and we traded it in for a new car that he wanted. I always dreamed of the next car I’d get once I paid it off but he got it & it’s in his name now so I paid it off for nothing. I’m driving around his dream car. I’ve been planning our wedding since I birthed our son and everything is going good. Money is tight. He works at the church now full time and makes about 45k a year or so, my son has been waiting to start daycare for awhile so I have been home with him. I’ve tried starting jobs multiple times but he is against it unless it’s super fast money like going to the club which I am so repulsed by and absolutely hate it now. I tried going back to college but my old college won’t release my transcripts for fasfa because I owe them money. I started cosmetology school a few months ago which he was all for but two months in freaked out and him and his mom guilt tripped me that we can’t handle this right now and he was having a hard time doing the night time routine for the baby while I was at school so I had to leave and now owe that’s school for my kit unless I enroll again in 128 days. I also miss modeling so much and sometimes think I can start again but it’s been five years. My body is so different too after a baby. Everything I want is a no go. Especially moving out of our hometown. He says he wants to but I don’t think he does. We are constantly at his moms and dads and they tell us all the time we aren’t moving anywhere which is really hard for me as this place is super toxic for my soul. Anytime I get money he spends it. Anytime I save money he spends it. Even if it does go towards our bills. His action figure habit is almost nonexistent now and he has grown a lot in the past few months from that since I demanded my son have his own bedroom after his first bday and all his figures are in boxes now and told him he could turn the shed into his man cave. He says we can’t save because we have nothing to save after bills but I believe in saving anything even $5 a paycheck. It’s doable. I grew up poor so this is nothing to me but after living the lifestyle I lived in LA and going out with guys that respected me and cherished me it’s hard. I know nobody is perfect but we are about to get married and I’m scared… I have nothing though anymore. I’ve threatened to leave a couple times and he says he will take me to court and take my baby. I’m scared he might. I don’t want my son to be angry like him or not respect women how he does. In public he’s a saint. He also has a very supportive family that it’s almost toxic. They all blame me for his anger issues and say I make him that way. But he’s been punching walls since I met him in 8th grade. I know it’s not because of me. But I have nobody else and nowhere else to go. No money. No car. I’m at the bottom again where I was before. Only difference is now I have a son. And we are getting married in three months and I can’t call it off. I am older now and looking back on my life I realize he maybe truly never loved me and I was just so desperate for love. I got myself here nobody else. I accepted everything, even when my gut told me not to. ( he is not just horrible, he’s a great person just with some bad qualities like everyone but I’m tired of feeling stuck with someone that never truly wanted me and doesn’t care to grow in some ways or show me )
Please help.. what do I do?

I was so scared he would get her pregnant or get in a serious relationship since I was gone so far away and I would never be with him, I would end up sleeping with him again and the girl found out and drove by his house mad and cussing me out and throwing stuff at me. We ended up getting in a fight which is so embarrassing and beneath me. I ended up crying to him that I wanted to be with him and don’t know why he never wanted to be with me which at this time he honestly was not even in my playing field anymore. He told me if I wanted to be with him I had to move back to my hometown.. my heart dropped to my stomach and I knew it wasn’t what I was supposed to do but I said okay… all because this is what I had wanted all those years. I decided to stay where the next two years all I would think about everyday was I was making the wrong decision and needed to go back to my life. My hometown had nothing for me.. COVID hit a couple months after me being there and we were terrified. We ended up getting everything out of my apartment and moving into a house around the corner from his parents. I had to tell him how I liked to communicate now without yelling and stuff which I learned from the boyfriend I had in LA and that I wasn’t going to put up with that disrespect but he never listened. Eventually everything went back to normal. I ended up going back to the club again dancing because I didn’t want to go backward and model here. He never wanted me to go back to LA even for a little bit even though that’s where my career and heart was so I had no idea what to do with my life. I started waitressing as well and getting back on my adhd meds. People started pressuring us to get pregnant and we tried for a year and 6 months. The month I found out I was pregnant before I knew, I quit my job and decided I was going to move back and get my life back. Two days later I found out I was pregnant…. Finally after trying for over a year. Our relationship was toxic just like the past he always yelled, I could never talk to him about my feelings without him saying I was trying to fight, he spit in my face once, threatened me, put his hands on me, he would tell me he was going to take my baby away from me as soon as I had it. I started asking him about getting married while I was pregnant and the proposal wasn’t even that. He got mad at me for asking one day and walked in the room and handed me the ring. It didn’t fit because I was pregnant & it was $27 (not that that matters but the proposal sucked).. he drained both my bank accounts and they closed it, charged my credit card up and put me in debt, he has not let me do anything I want to do like school or anything. He is so bad with money. He has an action figure addiction and at one point was spending 3k on action figures every month and turned one of the rooms in our house into a collection room so I had to take everything out of my closet and put my sons crib in there for the first year of his life. we have good times and I feel comfortable with him. He knows everything about me but he doesn’t respect me and sometimes I feel like he is intimidated by me. The sex isn’t good at all we always just ask “do you want to have sex” he never gives oral or foreplay, I never get pleasure. He’s an amazing dad though and loves his son. We have the most sweet and beautiful little boy now who I love so much and he loves him also. He’s very attentive to his son. But I still feel unheard. I can’t talk about my feelings. If I do it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t change anything. He is so defensive and we never communicate for a solution it’s always just pointing fingers. I have started yelling again because I’m so used to it now and I hate it because I grew up like that and I finally grew out of it until I got back with him and recently started again and now he throws it in my face and knows I begged him not to do it forever but he never stopped and now I am too. I’ve asked him to take me to the movies and he hasn’t still. I just ask for more romance and stuff but it just feels like I have a roommate. I have nothing now. I had my car and we traded it in for a new car that he wanted. I always dreamed of the next car I’d get once I paid it off but he got it & it’s in his name now so I paid it off for nothing. I’m driving around his dream car. I’ve been planning our wedding since I birthed our son and everything is going good. Money is tight. He works at the church now full time and makes about 45k a year or so, my son has been waiting to start daycare for awhile so I have been home with him. I’ve tried starting jobs multiple times but he is against it unless it’s super fast money like going to the club which I am so repulsed by and absolutely hate it now. I tried going back to college but my old college won’t release my transcripts for fasfa because I owe them money. I started cosmetology school a few months ago which he was all for but two months in freaked out and him and his mom guilt tripped me that we can’t handle this right now and he was having a hard time doing the night time routine for the baby while I was at school so I had to leave and now owe that’s school for my kit unless I enroll again in 128 days. I also miss modeling so much and sometimes think I can start again but it’s been five years. My body is so different too after a baby. Everything I want is a no go. Especially moving out of our hometown. He says he wants to but I don’t think he does. We are constantly at his moms and dads and they tell us all the time we aren’t moving anywhere which is really hard for me as this place is super toxic for my soul. Anytime I get money he spends it. Anytime I save money he spends it. Even if it does go towards our bills. His action figure habit is almost nonexistent now and he has grown a lot in the past few months from that since I demanded my son have his own bedroom after his first bday and all his figures are in boxes now and told him he could turn the shed into his man cave. He says we can’t save because we have nothing to save after bills but I believe in saving anything even $5 a paycheck. It’s doable. I grew up poor so this is nothing to me but after living the lifestyle I lived in LA and going out with guys that respected me and cherished me it’s hard. I know nobody is perfect but we are about to get married and I’m scared… I have nothing though anymore. I’ve threatened to leave a couple times and he says he will take me to court and take my baby. I’m scared he might. I don’t want my son to be angry like him or not respect women how he does. In public he’s a saint. He also has a very supportive family that it’s almost toxic. They all blame me for his anger issues and say I make him that way. But he’s been punching walls since I met him in 8th grade. I know it’s not because of me. But I have nobody else and nowhere else to go. No money. No car. I’m at the bottom again where I was before. Only difference is now I have a son. And we are getting married in three months and I can’t call it off. I am older now and looking back on my life I realize he maybe truly never loved me and I was just so desperate for love. I got myself here nobody else. I accepted everything, even when my gut told me not to. ( he is not just horrible, he’s a great person just with some bad qualities like everyone but I’m tired of feeling stuck with someone that never truly wanted me and doesn’t care to grow in some ways or show me )
Please help.. what do I do?

2024.05.22 01:58 skivolkls MBP 16" M1 Max downgrade to MBA 13" M3

Hey everyone,
I've been struggling with this decision and could use some outside perspective. I have a 2022 MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max (64Gb RAM). I recently built a gaming PC and was considering downgrading to a MacBook Air 13" M3 (16Gb RAM).
I originally was using the MBP for work, personal, and gaming. Without the gaming aspect I really don't need it to do much heavy lifting now. I'm worried that I won't be able to get much over $2k for the MBP though which means I'm essentially downgrading to a MBA ($1500) and only getting ~$500 out of the whole transaction and a laptop that isn't nearly as nice.
Any thoughts on this? Am I crazy for considering letting go of such a nice laptop? Either route I choose this will be my daily driver laptop for work and around the house use.
Also, I have a 2018 i9 15" MBP (16 Gb RAM). I've read that best buy is the best place to trade it in at. Any thoughts/direction on this point would be helpful as well!

2024.05.22 01:15 methiel First rental, 3rd property advise

I purchased a dual address property about 7 years ago. 2 ~1000sqft 2bd1b houses. Property was valued at 130k, listed at 100k. Lowballed and they accepted for 79k FHA at 4.5% with all costs included. It's fixed up now and I'm living in it.
I've been splitting rent with 3 people on the property since, so not really "renting" but essentially long distance room mates. This adds up to the entire monthly payment including insurance and escrow is about $700/m, and with rent share I collect about $1000/m without myself paying anything.
Prices have skyrocketed in the area since purchase, and without a real appraisal, the state reevaluated the property at roughly 240, and the loan is down to 65k. It's true value is likely 300k
I know I can pull equity out of this current property, and if refinanced I would lose the mortgage insurance cost from the FHA but I would gain a higher interest rate. Should I consider a HELOC instead of cash out refinance? I'd personally rather it just be 1 payment.
I also learned that you may count potential rent as income, and have found the Fannie Mae Form 1025/Freddie Mac Form 72 to do so.
Estimating for the area I "should" be able to rent 1 at 800+ and the other at 1000+. Looking at a potential 3rd house that would have an extra rentable area for at least 500+. I'm likely lowballing these numbers, as there are apartments nearby renting for 1200/m.
The new potential property is being sold to settle an estate, listed at 240k it us roughly 130k undervalue for its area/size, but needs a little work. Literally just walls and floors, which I can do solo for probably 10k cost.
What are realistic next steps? My yearly income is roughly 45k, I have 5k debt and 20k cash. Is this property "doable" for me in a banks eyes? Or should I keep looking, and am I even going about this the right way?
Edit: reading around this sub I have discovered the existence of DSCR loans. I'll look a bit into these tonight.

2024.05.21 23:42 Chad_Thunderk0ck Is my mod list ok? Where to ask for load order help?

Hey all - I just started a big NV playthrough with a bunch of mods, no issues save for 1 so far as I followed VNV+ to a t, then installed mods that only had compatibility patches with one another or ones that didn't change anything. Only issues so far is with the Salt Lake Stories mod where the quest giver for the mod is sitting in front of a fire that is missing a textures, and then some of the little caves for More Mojave have a texture of the old mountains covering them up but I can walk through them with no issue. I'd like to make sure I don't have any big problems though (crashes or significant issues with quests/content), so where would I be able to find help to just once over my list, get rid of any unnecessary junk, etc.? My biggest concern is the load order because I accidentally let LOOT organize it in MO2 and it honestly seemed to do ok? But nevertheless.
Here's the mod list and the load order, how'd I do?

2024.05.21 23:04 Scared-Ad2635 Internet connectivity issue in MacBook Air early 2015 model

I have an old MacBook Air early 2015 model and until 10 days ago was working perfectly fine. I kept it shut for 2 days and now the internet connectivity in it is terrible. It connects to the Wi-Fi but the browsing speed doesn’t go above 1-1.5 mbp when my other devices show 90mbps speed. Sometimes randomly it goes as high as 20-25mbps I am sick of trying everything online and from apple support. The apple support was on screen share with me and unfortunately at that exact time it went upto 90mbps- they ended up blaming my internet. But the same network works amazingly on all other devices of the house.
Steps tried: latest IOS update MacOSMonterey 10.7.5 DHCP renewal Date time zone Rebooting Deleting caches etc
What could this issue be? I have my exam in a week’s time, I really need the laptop to work and I have spent A LOT of time troubleshooting this. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

Steps tried: latest IOS update MacOSMonterey 10.7.5 DHCP renewal Date time zone Rebooting Deleting caches etc
What could this issue be? I have my exam in a week’s time, I really need the laptop to work and I have spent A LOT of time troubleshooting this. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

2024.05.21 23:00 mistermax76 Cannot get wifi, no idea why(fi)

What do I have to add, or edit to whatever conf files in order to be able to connect to my wifi. I've got 1 house wifi setup and two mobile wifi dongles. I don't mind having to create these records once as I'm really not intending on scanning for an joining networks, but I do have to say that compared to my Mac... the internet bit on my FreeBSD laptop is no fun. (I'm coming back to FreeBSD after a 17 year pause)

2024.05.21 21:39 brewnami WTS: CKF Sukhoi 4 & McNees PM Mac 2

Wassup KS?
Got a couple for sale only today.
https://imgur.com/a/pdbQxKJ
First up is a CKF Sukhoi-4 #237
I’m the original owner, never cut, but I pocketed around the house. Purchased from NC Blade. Gorgeous M398 blade, multi row bearings, buttery smooth action. Never disassembled or sharpened. Light snail on the black backspacer, otherwise brand new condition. When available new, this was $655. SV: $400
And last is a McNees PM Mac 2 smooth Ti, flat grind. I believe I’m the 3rd owner. Currently on Skiffs (original bearings included) and mirror polished edge. Got this in a trade and had plans to hollow grind it amongst other mods, but I just have other knives on my mind and looking to move this along to someone who would like to check one out. Not by me, but obviously this has been disassembled and sharped and has been in the pocket. SV: $400 SOLD
Will accept Venmo and PPFF.
Thanks for looking!

2024.05.21 21:05 maxplanar Chromebook insists on connecting to worst possible satellite in mesh WiFi

I have an Orbi mesh system with the router in the living room, the satellite out back serving the deck. (I'd love to connect them via ethernet for the backhaul but haven't yet bothered as it's an under the house job). Problem is, my wife's Acer Chromebook INSISTS on always connecting to the deck satellite, when she's sitting in the living room about 12 uninterrupted feet from the router. The satellite is about 50ft away through three walls. As a result, her wifi connection strength is always 'Weak". I've reduced the broadcast strength of both the router and satellite to 50% to try and cut it off, but it still refuses to connect to the router, and now the signal is even weaker. All other 15+ devices in the household - PC's, Macs, Nest Thermostats, Roku, Apple TV, etc all connect perfectly happily to whichever part of the mesh is best at the time. In all other respects Orbi works great. Can't figure this out? Why would the Chromebook insist on picking the worst possible signal?

2024.05.21 21:01 thinkingstranger May 20, 2024

There is a curious dynamic at work in politics these days. Trump does not appear to be trying to court voters to his standard. If he were, he would be reaching out to Nikki Haley voters and trying to moderate his stances. Instead, he is rejecting her voters and doubling down on extreme positions. Rather than trying to appeal to swing voters, he seems to be trying to whip up his right-wing base to engage in violence on his behalf. In Minnesota on Friday, Trump echoed fascists when he told supporters, "No matter how hateful and corrupt the communists and criminals we are fighting against may be, you must never forget this is not a nation that belongs to them. This is a nation that totally belongs to you. It belongs to you. This is your home, this is your heritage." Saturday, at the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association in Dallas, Texas, Trump floated the idea that he could throw out the constitutional amendment limiting a president to two terms. “You know, FDR 16 years—almost 16 years—he was four terms. I don’t know, are we going to be considered three-term? Or two-term?” he asked the crowd. Some yelled, “Three!” In the same speech, Trump told attendees that the Second Amendment “is very much on the ballot” in November, and he urged gun owners to vote and to “be rebellious.” Then he told the crowd that Biden’s actions were such that if he “were a Republican, he would have been given the electric chair, they would have brought back the death penalty.” This evening, Trump’s Instagram account posted a video of what a newspaper would look like after a 2024 MAGA win. Under the headline “WHAT’S NEXT FOR AMERICA?” were the words “INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED DRIVEN BY THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED REICH,” a clear reference to fascism and German dictator Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. It is not clear to me how anyone can any longer deny that Trump is promising to destroy our democracy and usher in authoritarianism. But it is also not clear that he is still a figure that any but the extremes of his base will follow to that end. Hence his emphasis on turning them to violence. His lies have become increasingly outrageous. On Friday he told a crowd in Minnesota that he won the state by “a landslide” in 2020 even though he actually lost it by more than 7 points. At the NRA annual meeting, Trump claimed that his former physician told him he is “healthier” and “a better physical specimen” than the famously athletic former president Barack Obama. At that same event he boasted that he won 31 club golf championships; the day before, he boasted that he won 29. Significantly, he continues to insist that the area around the courtroom is like “Fort Knox.” “There are more police than I’ve ever seen anywhere because they don’t want to have anybody come down,” he said today, “There’s not a civilian within three blocks of the courthouse.” But this is, quite simply, a lie. Virtually no one has turned out to support him. As conservative lawyer George Conway noted today, “There is virtually complete freedom of movement around that courthouse.” Social media contributor Eddie Smith, who filmed the handful of Trump protesters in New York today, put it more colorfully. After noting that “MAGA’s not repping in New York,” he added: “Wait a minute! You guys hear that? There is a mouse pissing on a ball of cotton in China. That’s how quiet it is out here.” Republican lawmakers are stepping in where Trump’s base followers are not. Republicans attacked as unfit for office 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server. They tried to impeach current president Biden on unfounded accusations that he took bribes from foreign countries. Now they find themselves forced to defend a man who is currently the defendant in a criminal trial that is showing that his associates acted like a criminal gang. As Tom Nichols put it today in The Atlantic, that defense is partly because they are afraid of their own voters. Nichols also called out those “now circling Trump like the cold fragments of a destroyed planet” who “resent the people who stuck to their principles.” Those MAGA Republicans lawmakers are, like Trump, trying to gin up anger with lies. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who went to Trump’s Manhattan trial to support him on Thursday, told Jesse Watters of the Fox News Channel and later posted on social media that “[t]hey’re trying to keep cameras out of the courtroom so that the American people don’t see what’s happening.” Former federal prosecutor Ron Filipkowski noted in response that “New York has banned cameras in courtrooms since June 30, 1997.” The most important of their lies, though, is that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and that to protect the 2024 election, it is imperative to police the election. This is the same tactic Trump used in 2020, claiming exactly four years ago that “they send in thousands and thousands of fake ballots.” Those lies have resulted in a huge increase in threats against those whom MAGA perceives as an enemy. Danny Hakim, Ken Bensinger, and Eileen Sullivan reported in the New York Times yesterday that last year, threats against federal judges increased 150% over 2019: 450 federal judges were targeted. Since 2018, threats to members of Congress have increased by 50%, with more than 8,000 such threats last year. More than 80% of local officials also say they have been threatened or harassed. MAGA lawmakers refuse to say they will accept the results of the 2024 election. On Saturday, Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson refused to commit to that fundamental tenet of our democracy. On Meet the Press on Sunday, Florida senator Marco Rubio also declined to say he would accept the election results. Those vying for the Republican vice presidential nomination, including North Dakota governor Doug Burgum and South Carolina senator Tim Scott, have refused to say they would accept the results. Their tactics are working among the Republican base. A CBS News/YouGov poll released this weekend showed that only 47% of Arizona Republicans say they will accept the results of the 2024 election no matter who wins. An equal number—47%—say they will challenge the results if the other side wins. That result is not symmetrical with the Democrats: 82% of them say they will accept the results, while only 14% say they will challenge the results if their opponents win. But people are pushing back against the MAGA narrative. On May 15 the Texas Tribune and ProPublica published a story by Jeremy Schwartz about Courtney Gore, a woman who ran for a Texas school board to combat pornography and critical race theory in the schools, only to find there wasn’t any. When she told the public, her former colleagues turned on her. “I’m over the political agenda, hypocrisy bs,” Gore wrote. “I took part in it myself. I refuse to participate in it any longer. It’s not serving our party. We have to do better.” Steve MacLaughlin, a meteorologist for NBC 6 News in Miami, reported on a new law Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed into law last week that will remove references to climate change from state law. “On Thursday, we reported on NBC 6 News that the government of Florida was beginning to roll back really important climate change legislation and really important climate change language in spite of the fact that the state of Florida, over the last couple of years, has seen record heat, record flooding, record rain, record insurance rates, and the corals are dying all around the state,” MacLaughlin said. “The entire world is looking to Florida to lead in climate change, and our government is saying that climate change is no longer the priority it once was. Please keep in mind, the most powerful climate change solution is the one you already have in the palm of your hands: the right to vote. And we will never tell you who to vote for, but we will tell you this: We implore you to please do your research and know that there are candidates that believe in climate change and that there are solutions, and there are candidates that don’t.” On May 17, former lieutenant governor of Georgia Geoffrey Duncan noted on Amanpour & Company that Trump had done less for rural voters than any other president in modern history. “At the end of the day,” he said, “we just cannot get into the business in America of electing dishonest human beings to represent us…. The world’s watching us. I’m hoping we get this right.” Tonight, Sarah Matthews, who was deputy press secretary for the Trump administration, wrote: “Trump’s continued use of Nazi rhetoric is un-American and despicable. Yet too many Americans are brushing off the glaring red flags about what could happen if he returns to the White House. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” — Notes: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/19/trump-nra-convention-dallashttps://www.rawstory.com/trump-threat-biden/https://nymag.com/intelligencearticle/the-nra-is-weaker-than-ever-how-much-does-that-matter.htmlhttps://time.com/6979795/trump-receives-nra-endorsement-urges-gun-owners-vote/​​https://apnews.com/article/election-2024-trump-minnesota-4f7ebfe7a2e1949d38a7c9894616a985 https://apnews.com/article/trump-election-2024-rhetoric-germany-antisemitism-31002afb91b642c0314223d19e51f427https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/marco-rubio-joins-republicans-hedging-accepting-election-results-rcna153011 https://presswatchers.org/2024/05/trump-choosing-not-to-testify-in-his-defense-should-be-a-banner-headline/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/19/us/politics/political-violence.htmlhttps://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4675594-florida-meteorologist-ron-desantis-climate-change-roll-back/https://captimes.com/news/elections/top-wisconsin-republicans-mixed-on-accepting-2024-election-results/article_2ae8f1e4-1538-11ef-a217-d7802fd5a882.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/world/us/donald-trump-fire-up-supporters-nras-annual-us-gathering-2024-05-18/,accepted%20the%20influential%20group's%20endorsement)https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2024/05/the-maga-memory-hole/678435/https://www.texastribune.org/2024/05/15/texas-granbury-isd-school-board-courtney-gore/X: BidenHQ/status/1791469492440072359RonFilipkowski/status/1792195770374099083samstein/status/1792188951920361645HueyRey/status/1792635408506912824mkraju/status/1792515853314904293gtconway3d/status/1792548740525363276eddsmitty/status/1792573721615434037atrupastatus/1792626209118884346BidensWins/status/1791609511435714795BidenHQ/status/1792209690664845569BidenHQ/status/1791946911340999113CarlosGSmith/status/1792207611733172238Tim_Walz/status/1791620309105119419BidenHQ/status/1791949552469082444AccountableGOP/status/1791661408641298808SarahAMatthews1/status/1792760772193374274

2024.05.21 19:19 Calvincenatra Will the SONOS Ace's support Dolby Atmos and Head Tracking without a soundbar?

I'm considering buying the new SONOS Ace's. I still have a 30% Upgrade discount available so the price is right in that regard. However, when I looked on the product / support page, it really seems like you'll be required to have a supported soundbar to use Dolby Atmos and Head Tracking at all. It could be that I'm missing the point but, let's say you connect them your MacBook using Apple TV+ and watch something that supports Dolby Atmos, would that still work that way? I know that Dolby Atmos should work on most stereo headphones, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something. And the Head Tracking, would that position be based on a Soundbar of would it also work as a stand-alone feature? So that when you are out of the house, you'd still be able to enjoy it (on a plane for example).
I really hope all of this will work as a standalone feature as well. I get the whole "Switch from/to Soundbar" selling point, but having traveling capabilities without getting a lesser audio experience would also be great.

2024.05.21 19:15 i_like_cars_too What should my upgrade path be?

I got AT&T fiber last fall. I had been using Google/Nest WiFi for years, but wanted more control over my devices.
We rent, and our house is 2 stories and about 2100 square feet.
I purchased a UX when it came out, just to dip my toes in, fully expecting I would need to buy a couple more to run as access points. But, my internet has been more stable than ever, with no dead spots. So, the UX has been great for keeping it simple and having a great first experience with UniFi.
We only have about 30 devices on our network, and are entirely HomeKit devices now. I have a M1 Mac Mini running Jellyfin and am about to jump into the homelab world and get a mini pc to run proxmox and experiment with that.
My Mac Mini is in a different room, and can direct play 4k remuxes to my AppleTv with no buffering, 90% of the time.
My UX is by the TV, paired with a Flex Mini to have a few things hardwired. I’m wanting to start expanding my range a bit to get better coverage and speed throughout the house. Here’s what I’ve thought about:
  1. Get another UX and stick it by the Mac Mini and run it as an AP.
  2. Get a UDR and move the UX to the other room and use it as an AP.
  3. Get a UCG-Ultra and use the UX as the AP.
  4. Get a UCG-Ultra and an AP like a U6 or U7 Pro and move the UX to another room as another AP.
Thoughts? What other options are there since the house isn’t wired for Ethernet?

2024.05.21 18:31 Sure-Neighborhood114 I want to believe my wife, but I don't know how

I'm not sure where I or my marriage stands right now. Some background, I (M42) and my wife (F43) have been together since high school, and married at 21/22. We have 3 children with the oldest being 12. I haven't been a good partner for quite a while. Not abusive, but I have distanced myself and just flat out couldn't feel anything other than angeannoyance for many years. I did not provide her with any love that she needed, and we generally just existed together for 5 or so years. I checked out of the relationship, and she eventually did as well.
I didn't really understand any of this until the week after she returned from a trip away.
My wife had a girls trip with her sisters and a friend to get away from everything for a couple of days at a beach in Florida. When we were texting as she was at the airport waiting for her return flight one of my daughters brought my wife's iPad in for me to look at something as her game was not working right. As she handed it to me I had just sent a message to my wife and I saw it pop-up on her iPad. I was confused, and clicked on it, it took me a minute to realize that my wife's iMessage was signed into the iPad.
Right under my message was a message to a contact named just as a man's first name. I became concerned and read it, it was from that midnight/morning (when she was out at bars until 2AM) just after midnight with a simple "Hi/Hi" text, like she was just getting someone's number. This had me concerned and I then checked to see if her photos were synced, where I found the last picture taken was a nude selfie that she did not send to me.
I texted her and asked her who the man's name was, and why she was texting another man while at a bar, and who she had taken the nude picture for. She immediately told me that she was just getting the number of her sister's friend who they had bumped into, and that the picture was for me and she had thought that she had sent me earlier in the morning while we were texting saying that we had missed each other, and she had promised me some fun time when she got home. I bought it, and I believe her still about these things now.
She came home, and we talked, and had a nice night. The next day I decided that I needed to confirm if she was lying, and logged into her Facebook to see if I was crazy or she was lying. I found a message between her and a musician where she was messaging seeing where he was playing that night, and that they all wanted to see him perform again. When he replied that he was pretty far from where they were staying, she messaged that they (the 4 of them) would be at a certain bar if he'd like to come by after and have a drink with them. This is the second time I went off the deep end thinking she had cheated. We talked about it and she just said that all of them had liked talking and listening to him play, and that she had just messaged because she's better at tracking people down. I believe her, but still have a gut feeling that SOMETHING happened.
I checked her text message use through our phone provider the next day after she was home to find a TON (50+) of texts between a local Florida number and her, the night she was out late at the bar, then at 2:30, 3:30, 4:30AM, starting again the next morning at 8:30AM when we were texting back and forth about all of the kids stuff that Saturday that I had going on. She was stilI texting that person the morning after she came home. I checked her laptop to see what those messages were (iMessage on MacBook) and they were all deleted.
I confronted her about this and she told me it was a woman that she had talked a lot to that late night about being a mother, marriage problems, etc., and that they had messaged again in the morning as the woman she had met wanted to meet up again before she had to leave for the airport. I believed this and apologized for invading her privacy.
I need to also share that during full week (Saturday to Saturday) where the next part happens I was legitimately concerned that I was having a mental break of some sort, I couldn't eat, I was constantly sad and had what I now know was anxiety in my chest for a full week. Constantly questioning myself, and also during this whole time we were getting along so well, having a lot of sex and being so close to each other which we hadn't had in years. While enjoying this, I still couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
I was scared, and I had thought a lot about what was wrong with me, and we had talked about our problems in a way that I never cared to during our bad times. I was falling in love with my wife all over again, and just looking for a reason to trust her, and stop feeling like something was wrong. She had told me during this week that because I was so upset she had messaged the woman and told her that they wouldn't be meeting up again when she was coming to our home state, and told me that she had broken contact.
I told her that I was suspicious of how nice and loving she had been since she got back, and she told me it was because she had a very relaxing time, with no kids or any of the other dozens of daily worries, and also because of how much we had reconnected since she came home. She said she wanted to be close, and that I was turning her on with my actions.
This past Saturday night I invaded her privacy again to find that she had not stopped talking, and had just switched over to SnapChat as I could see the texts through our phone company. When I confronted her about this and told her that she needed to tell me the truth or I was leaving, she slowly and eventually told me the following.
While at the bar, after talking to her for a while the woman had consistently complimented her, and my wife liked this. She then asked my wife to come back to her house with her husband and have a threesome. My wife says she told her no initially, and that talk would stop for a bit before asking again. They danced "sexy" as my wife tells me, and this woman gave my wife a kiss on the lips which my wife promises wasn't a tongue kiss, and that it was quick and she didn't kiss back, or even want.
This woman then continued to ask, even bringing her husband over for him to try and ask. Then switched to just come over we can just keep hanging out and having fun.
I believe that my wife did not go back and have the threesome, I had checked her location a few times the night she was out late because I wanted to talk to her, but sincerely wanted her to have her time away and to have fun, and didn't want to ruin that. I was hoping to catch her back at her hotel, but every time I checked she was still at the bar, and then I finally went to sleep late.
What's really bothering me is that after all of our talk after this about honesty, open communication, no lies, no deleting texts, she's still doing it. I know for a fact that she has deleted messages from one of her best friends (that wasn't on this trip), and her sister that was there. Not the whole string, just individual messages. I have no way to find out if she is still SnapChatting her, and my wife told me that even after she went back from the bar that night the woman was still trying to get her to meet up. She wanted her to go on their boat the next day, come to their house for a BBQ, etc..
My wife told me that she told them maybe a few times, but only because she enjoyed the excitement of being wanted and complimented after all the years that I didn't give her that, but that she would NEVER cheat.
I don't know how to move past this, I still feel broken. I believe her that nothing physical happened, but I also can't get over that she still wants to talk to someone that tried to get her to cheat on her husband. I've never cheated, and also have never put myself in a position where there were temptations, I know that things can happen without a real choice being made to do something wrong, so I just don't put myself in that spot. My wife's one sister (who is really like her best friend) is and has always been protective of my wife. I don't think she left her alone ever during their trip, and I truly don't think my sister in law would be supportive or even tolerating of my wife cheating.
For the past week and change we have been so connected, we have been making love multiple times a day and can't keep our hands off each other, we hug so much, and it feels so nice, until the negative thoughts come back, and they keep coming back. When we're together those thoughts aren't there, but when we're not (even though I know exactly what she's doing) they come back.
I feel like I've been cheated on, but I feel wrong for feeling like this when I really believe her that nothing physical happened.
I guess I just needed to vent, and if there are any women out there that have been in a situation like this, please feel free to offer some insight, I'd really like to hear this.
To close this out, I'm not blameless here, I can fully admit to myself and her that I fully understand why she'd look for the compliments and feeling like she was wanted. I didn't give her that, and I knew all along that self-esteem was a problem for her. There are so many things in her life that cause her anxiety (which is a problem for her), me being only (even though big part) of it all. I've done quite a bit of soul searching, I've discovered that a lot of my anger comes from my own upbringing that I just buried, and am looking for a therapist to talk to. I've never been emotionally intelligent, and really just bought into men don't show their feelings. I'm unwinding it and have been brutally honest about what I'm seeing now that I have been feeling for all these years without knowing, and our relationship is in such a good place right now, and I hope for the rest of our lives. I've been different with my children, and the behaviors that they had that drove me nuts are stopping. I see now that it was always me that was the problem. I want to figure myself out now so we can keep what we have, it's all so great. I just can't shake this feeling of being betrayed but also questioning if it's my guilt over how shitty I've been or if it's the whole thing above that's still eating away at me.
Thanks for sticking around if you're still here.

2024.05.21 18:00 disjustice Mac preferring 2.4GHz WIFI over 5GHz for no discernible reason.

My Macbook (Ventura 13.6.6) is consistently connecting to the 2.4GHz band of my dual band SSID WIFI network, despite it having weaker signal strength and less congestion than the 5GHz band. My Mac is only getting 150Mbps down/up on 2.4 while my Android phone is getting 600Mbps down/up on 5.GHz. 150Mpbs is fine most of the time, but it is painfully slow when uploading something to work over VPN.
Below are all of the SSIDs I can reach. My SSID is tubbles. I'm sitting line of sight about 15' from the AP.

Is there anything I can about this situation on my Mac itself, or is the only solution to split my network? All my other 5Ghz-capable devices connect to 5GHz preferably.
Edit: Network topology and equipment
I'm using TP-Link Omada SDN consisting of an EAP 670 AP, TL-SG2428P switch, and an OC200 controller. The router in a Protectli OPNSense device. The WLAN is a 3-band ax SSID with 6, 5, and 2.4 GHz enabled. The WLAN is running on a VLAN, with the control back plane on a separate isolated VLAN on the switch.
Two VLANS: USER: 10, CIDR 172.20.10.0/24 MGMT: 1, CIDR 172.20.1.0/24
AP, controller, and routefirewall are all hanging off the switch on trunk ports. The firewall prevents any inbound traffic to the MGMT VLAN that does not originate on the MGMT VLAN.
The tubbles SSID is mapped to VLAN 10. Most physical switch ports are locked to the USER VLAN except for a few empty trunk ports I reserve for administration.

2024.05.21 17:55 West_Blueberry_5599 Why are Singaporeans so entitled and selfish?

I was having dinner at Macs at AMK Hub. It was super busy and I could see the people working at the counter running around struggling with the high amount of orders. My food came pretty quick but my milo tasted bad, I'm guessing they diluted it too much or something so I went up to the counter to ask for a new cup. Suddenly, I heard someone raising their voice. It was a guy, obese and reeking of BO, mid to late 30s with his 2 children. He was verbally abusing the manager working there. I saw him queueing up to order some ice cream before entering macs. He was asking her why other people received their ice cream earlier even though he ordered before them. The manager apologized profusely and returned with his order of 3 ice creams almost immediately. He then continued to cuss at her and asked for her name, in which she hesitantly gave because he was purposely going extremely close to her to look at her name tag. The funny thing is, he claimed to have been waiting for his order for 30 minutes, but in reality it was less than 10 because I literally saw him ordering it before going in.
I run an online business, in which I have to go to singpost to mail out customers orders. Awhile back, a woman bought an item from me that was supposed to be a gift for her husband. Due to the nature of my business, all items are pre order as they are custom made and it typically takes around 8 days to be ready to be mailed. Her husbands birthday was 9 days away, so I told her that I would physically deliver the item to her house as singpost takes around 2-3 days to ship. I broke 2 of my toes the day her item was ready to be mailed out while playing basketball (don't ask me how haha). I told her that unfortunately I was unable to drive to her location as my foot was literally in a cast. She told me that if I didn't personally deliver the item before her husbands birthday she would make a police report, claiming that I had scammed her and falsely promised her. I told her that I was not in the condition to drive, and told her that I would either get my parents to drop off the item at singpost that same day or arrange a same day delivery courier service at my cost. She was not having it, started to spam call me and bombarded my instagram and shopee with nasty comments and reviews. I told her that if she needed it that urgently, she could come down and collect it herself. She demanded that I pay her $50 for her fuel and time. In the end, my friend did me a huge favour by collecting it from me and delivering it to her.
Why do Singaporeans not know compassion? I see this almost everyday, especially towards service workers or on the roads. Customers being straight up rude and abusive, and drivers road hogging/tailgating/not giving way, and the most annoying part, speeding up when a car signals to change lane. Be better.

2024.05.21 16:06 eat_a_burrito Fixed L/R Balance on Maxwell. It's a Software/EQ bug.

Hi,
I took the plunge again and bought the Maxwell for the second time. I was surprised to see the LR balance was slightly Left of the middle again. I was thinking how could this be? Brand new, just updated out of the box.
So, I don't know why or how come, and zero evidence. But I think I was on an older version of software when I did the update again. It did update to the current firmware (snap, crackle and pop...please fix this) but again my left was louder. So then I was thinking this can't be happening to me 2x in a row.
I decided to factory reset them from the iphone app. Reconnected and my iphone and the Left and Right were balanced.
So what happened, the volume was the same I think when I said the left was louder, but I think the EQ wasn't applied the same on the left and right cup. Why, IDK, I'm not a software engineer. What I do remember is I was fiddling with the EQ on my first pair a lot. Like listening, and constantly dialing it in to what I thought sounded good.
So I'm going to wipe the install of AudezeHQ off my Mac completely using an app and then a fresh install.
I'm not sure if Audeze reads these forums, but there is some software race condition that caused this to happen and should be addressed. I remember someone else returning Maxwell since they hit it too, so at the end of the day it hits Audeze's bottom line. You guys really need to get another software development house engaged or level up your quality control.
Edit:
  1. Did an experiment and was curious. So I did a firmware reinstall tonight on my Mac. Factory Reset. Adjusted EQ and the left was louder again. Or maybe more bass is really it, I'm not 100% sure.
  2. Continuing from step one. I factory reset it again. This time I connected it to my iphone and adjusted EQ and it was balanced and sounds great. I don't know about windows, but for the mac client something isn't right.
  3. Popping and Crackling still there since firmware reset/upgrade. We should be able to downgrade. I feel the reason is aggressive power-saving.
tl;dr: Always factory reset first, then remove AudezeHQ and do a fresh install.

2024.05.21 16:03 quicheunleash3d aita for getting beyond upset that my bf ate my food?

Hi, long time lurker but idek how to process things right now haha. For some background, I (23 f) definitely have some issues around food. I’m second gen asian american, and my dad came here as a refugee when he was a teenager. He has a lot of trauma about not having enough to eat, very stereotypical walk in pantry, hoarding food, loving deals on food, extreme couponing, etc. He passed on a lot of that to me. I adore fine dining but I also love garbage food or street food. I carry around leftovers and shamelessly wrap things up in napkins and throw them in my purse. I have bags of almonds in my car and stashes of food at all my friends houses. Food is my love language, I love cooking it for my friends, being cooked for, etc.
So two nights ago, my best friend and I took my roommate out to a very expensive steakhouse for his birthday. I don’t have a lot of money but I’m doing okay, I’ve been saving up to take him out for a while because he’s done a lot for me. It was definitely a big treat for us to go though. Since I don’t eat much at once, I had a lot of leftovers (plus the bones my friends didn’t finish so I could chew on them later which I know is weird but let me be happy okay?) I gave my boyfriend the lobster mac but saved the steak for sandwiches for the next couple days.
Yesterday, my bf was having a really bad day. He woke up late for work, had to rush out the door. He was supposed to work just the morning shift but his coworker asked him if he’d cover her night shift since she was hungover, and she’d bring him food. She didn’t, and he was upset. He went from 9 am to 11 pm without eating. Obviously I’m upset too, I offer to doordash him something, I would’ve brought him food but I was working on set. I get worried about him because he doesn’t eat sometimes, and because he was having a bad day he was already super withdrawn. He told me he’d make pasta when he got home.
I guess you see where this is going, he ate my steak, I was absolutely devastated. His reasoning was that he had brought me food from set the previous day but in my mind it’s nowhere close. I know I shouldn’t have but I blew up at him, cried a lot, etc. He offered to take me to another steak house but it’s not about the steak it’s about how I build up this food in my head and think about it several times a day looking forward to eating it and then it’s not there. I told him that and he told me I should bring that up with my therapist. Is my relationship with food is unhealthy? I’ve had issues before where people touch my food without asking so I’m wondering if it’s me. I feel guilty for yelling at him and then running out the door and crying in my car. AITA?

2024.05.21 15:49 lykwydchykyn WTS: Handmade pedals and practice amps, experimental designs.

Hi guys. Making another shot at this. Cut prices on a few things because I'm just running out of room for storing my new builds. Order multiples and I may cut you a deal.
This post is mostly for people interested in buying, but I love a trade! If you're interested in trading see my latest post in /letstradepedals. I post there every other week, usually on Tuesday. I got non-DIY stuff in the trade post, too.
What I got for sale is hand-built stuff that I made, mostly relatively unique or heavily tweaked designs built on vero or point to point. Many are housed in upcycled tins, a few in hammond boxes. I've also got small practice amps built inside whatevers that you can crank up and enjoy at low volumes. They all run on standard 9v pedal power.
PRICES DON'T INCLUDE SHIPPING -- I ship USPS priority using pirateship.com, so expect shipping to be between $5 and $15 depending on how close you are to Tennessee. Would prefer to not deal with international shipping, but if you want it bad enough to pay for it, I'm game.
I accept Paypal or Venmo.

Fuzzes
Name Price Links Notes
Bazz Me Fuss You #1 $90 PIC DEMO A bazz-fussified perversion of the Escobedo push-me-pull-you, featuring controls for octave and volume. This is the first unit I've built using my own custom PCB. Housed in a painted 125B with top jacks.
Space Fuzz $80 PIC DEMO This is a Hollis crash sync fuzz that I souped up with an LFO to modulate the filtesync frequency. Really wild flangery/phasey type gated fuzz sound. At the right settings you can get some octave-down effects as well. Housed in a ~3.5 inch square game tin reinforced with recycled plastic. Pretty pleased with this build.
SwirlFuzz $75 PIC DEMO Modulated octave fuzz prototype. It's an octave fuzz, but you can switch on an LFO to modulate the octave amount. Controls for Rate, Depth, Gain, and Volume, plus switches for waveshape and mode (Normal/Octave/Modulated). In a circular tin reinforced with recycled plastic.
Big Green Fuzz for Attractive Bass Players $75 PIC Demo Like my bazz-me-fuss-you circuit, but with a big muff tone stack, a clean blend, and optional clippers for more compression. Housed in a big round tin reinforced with recycled plastic and designed specifically for attractive bass players. Unattractive ones may not really gel with this.
Creature from the planet Chyowngg $65 PIC Demo Prototype of a unique fuzz I've been developing that I call the Chyowngg fuzz. It's a 2-stage octaver that gives a bright synthy tone with a distinctive envelope (hence the name). You can toggle each stage from octave to non-octave mode for a variety of interesting timbres. Also has a tone control, but the tone control is before the octave stages so it results in interesting behaviors depending on the switch settings. It's in a tin meant to be painted like an alien, though some say it looks more like a triceratops.
Baller Fuzz $60 PIC DEMO Another Bazz-Me-Fuss-You build with an added BMP-style tone control. In a slightly beaten-up heart-shaped basketball tin. Y'all ready for this?
Wiff Spwinkles on Top $45 PIC Demo This point-to-point fuzz lives in the same neighborhood as the Harmonic Percolator, but has a few differences. I altered the way the gain knob works, and added a switch to toggle bass cut. It's housed in an ice-creamity welly tin.
Dumbo's Bazzrite Fussrite $40 PIC Demo A bazz-fussified mosrite fuzzrite circuit I cobbled together in point-to-point wiring style. Housed in a little Dumbo puzzle tin with GLITTER! Controls are for balance (kind of tone-cum-gain) and volume.
Drives, Distortions, and Boosts
Name Price Links Notes
Bronze Drive $85 PIC Demo This is a point-to-point, transistor based overdrive I designed based loosely on the Davisson Easy Drive. Good for low-gain crunchy tones and plenty of output volume on tap if you want it for a boost. Tone circuit is like a BMP stack but with a mid hump instead of a mid cut. Housed in a painted 125B with top jacks.
Copper ZenerMorph Drive $65 PIC Demo This is an experiment in zener diode clipping. Nice crispy drive that gets beefier as you turn up the gain, lots of good edge-of-breakup tones to be had. Housed in a decorated tin reinforced with some plastic.
GOOST $65 PIC A simple JFET boost vaguely based on the Runoffgroove Fetzer valve. Switch toggles bass cut for a treble-boosting sound. Point-to-point build housed in a small tin reinforced with recycled plastic.
B is for Beast $55 PIC DEMO This fun little drive/boost consists of two cascading MOSFET gain stages with optional clipping in between. It goes from clean and loud to massive wall-of-gain distortion nicely. Controls for gain, clipping, and volume. In a small heart-shaped tin about 4in by 4in.
Shining Hope Drive $40 PIC Demo Differential mirroring drive, gives a kind of overdriven-mixer-channel distortion. Controls for gain, tone, and volume. Housed in a star-shaped Christmas tin.
Green Sparkler Boost $35 PIC Just an Escobedo Duende JFET boost built point-to-point in a sparkly little round tin. Gives a little gain and a bit of warmth to the tone.
Non-Dirt
Name Tier Links Notes
Gift of Chykka Wakka $65 PIC DEMO First build of an all-transistor envelope filter I designed. Built point-to-point style and housed in a little giftbox tin reinforced with recycled plastic. Controls for Q and Sweep, switch toggles envelope smoothing.
Vortex of Funk $65 PIC DEMO Second build of the Chykka-Wakka circuit, this one features attack, Q, and range controls. Built point-to-point and housed in a painted tin.
BZZZ BOOP BEEP $50 PIC DEMO A basic square wave oscillator on a momentary switch. Can go from bzzz to boop to beep with a sweep of the big knob. Also has tone and volume controls, and a 3-way switch for different decay amounts. Use it to simulate a spring door stopper or dying cow. Or bleep your foul-mouthed frontman. Or mess with the sound guy. Or send Morse code to the bar. I dunno. Housed in a painted tin reinforced with recycled plastic.
Little Amps
Name Price Links Description
Ample iMank $65 PICS DEMO This is a Runoffgroove Ruby Amplifier built into this old multimedia speaker enclosure designed to look like an old iMac. Glows blue when you turn it on. It runs from a standard 9v pedal power. It's not terribly loud, nor terribly clean, but if you dig the classic mac vibe it might be fun. Controls for gain and volume, and a power switch on the back.
Nosy Amp $75 PICS DEMO Another solid-state amp based on the Ruby amplifier, housed in a repurposed bookshelf speaker. This one actually has pretty decent volume, even on 9V (can run on 12V as well for more), and can stay clean while getting loud enough for a quiet jam with friends.
Fleur-de-Lis Amp $90 PICS DEMO A tiny bookshelf speaker turned into a practice amp. This one features a class D power amp for lovely cleans, and a custom designed discrete preamp that gets punchy & crunchy when cranked. Runs on 9V but pretty loud nonetheless.
That's all for now. I just keep building and building, though, so there'll be more.
