Anyone here received relief through the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code 2016 (IBC)? Does it work? Will it offer a chance to rebuild life?

- I'm alone, all my loved ones are dead.
- I am mute and autistic, I can't do job interviews or be taken seriously though no cognitive impairment.
- I do not have a degree., I'm a self-taught software engineer.
- I'm in 15+ lakhs debt accumulated to cover loan EMI, no longer receiving loans to pay loans.
- I'm dependent on credit because I have a heart condition, and can't do physical work. I can't even be a housemaid.
- I'm not getting freelance work since COVID.
- I have no assets or properties in my name.
- All loans are unsecured, but I can't default because I'm dependent on credit for basic necessities without income.
- I'm a trans-woman.
- Bank has refused deferment of EMIs.
- I even considered doing OF out of desperation, but due to autism and being asexual, it's a lot harder for me to degrade myself in front of the camera for other people's enjoyment.
- I get panic attacks whenever I attempt OF and I end up cutting (self-harm), often leading to suicide attempts.
- I can't do any physical labor or customer-facing roles.
- I applied at the local bakery and other such shops but was denied the job because I couldn't speak nor maintain eye contact (autism).
- I faint frequently, I have a very low constitution due to heart problems.
- My job prospects are limited due to my disabilities.
- I'm no longer getting freelance work. My income is zero.
- I used to get decent work before covid, so it's not my because I'm unskilled. It's market saturation by people with degrees, certificates, and ex-bigtech status.
- PG I'm staying at discovered I'm cutting and realized I'm dealing with severe depression, there is talks about kicking me out as they can't risk me dying there.
- I am on antidepressants and antianxiety meds, I showed them and informed them I'm managing my depression, but in truth, It's only preventing me from offing myself instantly.
2024.05.21 17:20 k0nflic7 Hair is sooo temperamental. Gel makes it sticky unless I use my hard water shampoo that dries the crap out of it and causes shedding :/
Hi! I have 2b-c hair that's probably low-med porosity and medium thickness?
For some reason everytime I use my shampoo bar which is this one:
https://amzn.eu/d/fyC7dNn
My hair feels sticky and weighed down even after it's fully dry or when I refresh , especially at the roots. It's like the gel from the previous wash day isn't getting properly removed and that's the source of the sticky ness.
I thought maybe I wasn't washing well enough but it happened again and that's even after using a Malibu C hard water sachet.
I didn't have this problem when I used a curl cream but the gel is better at defining my hair / makes it less frizzy.
When I wash with the Malibu C hard water shampoo I don't ever have this issue however it really dries my hair out and I notice more hair fall.
The protein drops essentially become useless when my hair is too dry and actually contribute to the issue by making my hair more dry! Whereas if it's hydrated enough I get really good elasticity.
Routine right now is:
Wash hair weekly with the shampoo bar, I wash my hair twice with it and then apply conditioner, rinse most out of it out but leave a little in (hairs drips are slightly milky). Scrunch hair to form clumps, apply about a dime sized amount of this gel in soaking wet hair:
https://amzn.eu/d/9zmNvW1
with a few drops of this protein filler:
https://amzn.eu/d/4rLpArr
It is my new found holy grail! (found out my hair loves protein and gets easily over moisturized. Can't believe I didn't try it sooner). Definitely try it if you think your hair is in need of protein.
Then micro plop with a T-shirt to get excess water out and diffuse on medium heat until cast is set and leave to air dry. Once fully dry, scrunch out the crunch.
Previously I was doing everything above except instead of the shampoo bar I would use the MalibuC hard water shampoo but I had to stop because of the dryness issue I mentioned above.
I tried conditioning more and even deep conditioning but it just made it over moisturized which confuses me because it was dry? š
I could try a curl cream or leave in conditioner before the gel but I suspect it would become over moisturized and weighed down as my hair is easily weighed down.
One other idea I had was to do 1 wash with the shampoo bar and the other with the MalibuC hard water shampoo as opposed to the MalibuC twice.
Try another gel? Just don't know what! Anyone got any suggestions?
That's all I can think of!
Anyone else had/having similar problems and if so what did you do about it?
Thanks!

2024.05.21 17:18 CDNGooose How much hypertrophy work do you incorporate into your weightlifting training regimen?
Trying to avoid using the forbidden term in the sense that we aren't training to be aesthetic, but using it to address limitations and weaknesses in certain aspects of the lifts. Essentially the intention of hypertrophy work is to act as physical therapy for weightlifting (which is very personalized to the individual) and differs from tradition WL accessories like back squats and pull ups.
e.g. I'm somewhat concerned about the possible negative side effects of neglected hamstrings, especially since this sport is so quad dominant and I don't RDL often due to minor low back issues. Maybe specifically targeting my hamstrings on a machine could benefit my knee stability and prevent future injury?
I'm curious about what you guys are doing and if you at all incorporate hypertrophy work into your training.

2024.05.21 17:17 SolitaritySounds Carnegie Mellon Grad, but not the best performance. Not sure what next.
Long post :( thank you for reading in advance.
I just graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, at a branch campus in Qatar. I'm an international student from Vancouver, Canada. The education between the Qatar and Pittsburgh campuses are pretty much identical and In the end, I carry a CMU degree, but while most main campus students get the chance to get high-level internships and carry some serious networking leverage, I didn't really get that. Qatar has a very small software engineering scene comprised of either government (e.g. hospitals, ministry of transportation), research/academic institution(s), or startups (some successful, most not). If you're a good student, it's not hard to get into one of the good positions through a professor or alumni, since almost everyone knows each other. But positions don't carry much weight, especially since I'm planning to go back to Canada. A Canadian recruiter won't recognize a local startup in Qatar.
My degree was a BSc in Information Systems, with a concentration in Data Science. I've always loved CS, but I wasn't proactive enough to switch majors early on. My cGPA (in my opinion) is subpar, hanging around 3.02. I didn't land internships. I'm relatively young, just turned 21. Up until my Junior year, I was dead set on my esports passion. I made it big early on and was a data analyst for some top teams, but over time reality set in and I backed up. Between that, and Covid, and other excuses, I didn't solidify my study disciplines.
As a non-CS person, and generally not having taken core CS courses (Distributed Systems, Security, Networks, OS, Parallel Computation, etc) + not having job experience + my low GPA, really doesn't set me up well for the job market.
Despite that, I'm ridiculously passionate about Software Engineering and ML. Even with my academic performance, I'm one of the most active people in my cohort. I've been repeatedly asked/demanded to be a course assistant for most core courses. I was infamous in my sophomore year for helping the whole class pass by tutoring them in Data Structures. I had certain Software Engineering courses where we worked with real clients. I led multiple of those, being both the Project Manager and handling all backend at the same time, and was consistently successful. In my last year, against a lot of odds, I took some 400/700 level courses in Deep Learning, even having major prereqs waived, and got A's on them.
Even in my partly delusional esports days, as an analyst, I worked on some otherwise massive Data Engineering projects on my own. I developed my own ML pipeline that would crunch hours of player footage and calculate performance metrics. I had to come up with my own custom video processing pipelines on top of CUDA. TL;DR I'm very confident in my skillset and I feel very capable. I think I definitely have the skillset and the ability to succeed in a junior SWE role.
My aspiration down the line is to work as an ML Engineer and even in Research, but I recognize that it's not easy to get to that point from where I am now. I applied to ~6 Masters programs in ML/CS/DS across Canada, and turned up with 0 offers. I'm actively planning to complete the independent "missing" CS courses as a non-degree student to raise my GPA, and study/network back on my own turf.
As another way to damage control, I'm also trying to apply for internships to gain experience I can use to get into entry level positions, and to perhaps overachieve and gain return offers. A lot of internships are locked to those who are currently studying, which I've just completed, so it narrows the job pool by a lot.
Currently, I don't know what to really market myself as. An ML Engineer who did phenomenally in a PhD tier Deep learning course? A Data Scientist, since I completed their Data Science concentration and capstone course? A Software Engineer, since I've built and shipped software and generally, SWE is the biggemore flexible umbrella that both MLE and DS fit under.
In general, I'm just not sure where to put my chips.

In general, I'm just not sure where to put my chips.
- Do I emphasize completing missing CS content in a Canadian university as a non-degree study in hopes of raising my grades and clearing prerequisites, so that I can increase my changes of getting into a Masters (and equivalently, getting better job security)?
- Do I work with the networking I currently have in Qatar to get entry level positions, accept the low pay and lack of prestige, and hope it can help me transfer over to the Canadian market?
- I will definitely be applying like crazy for internships/entry level positions directly in Canada. But is it looking bleak given my experience (or lack thereof)?
- As a Canadian and fresh grad, should I be applying for U.S. roles?
- How should I market myself? I'm okay with any role across SWE, MLE, DS, DE, even DA, but I can't just slap all those roles on my LinkedIn headline or CV. How are you guys handling your role-invariant job search.
- Any advice?
2024.05.21 17:17 karoshi9000 Autopilot/navigation problems
hey there,
I'm once again reaching out because I'm apparently too dumb to get my head round the MCDU in interaction with SimBrief. Here's what I did:
any help appreciated!
submitted by karoshi9000 to flightsim [link] [comments]
I'm once again reaching out because I'm apparently too dumb to get my head round the MCDU in interaction with SimBrief. Here's what I did:
- Loaded SimBrief, made a short flight plan (Chicago to Toronto) with ILS approach
- Set up the very same parameters in the MSFS world map (i.e., IFR low-altitude airways, ILS approach, correct runways. It ("naturally") gave me different waypoints but afaik that is to be expected since MSFS doesn't know about my SimBrief flight plan at that point (?)
- Hopped in a cold and dark FlyByWire A320 and began starting up the machine, did all the usual stuff
- Last thing, I went into the MCDU and put in all the info from the flyPad that I did understand (I'm not 100% comfortable with the MCDU yet, so some fuel stuff etc I just leave as is). However, I manually entered all the waypoints that I got from SimBrief and the MCDU accepted them after a few hiccups with flight plan discontinuities.
- Took off and let the autopilot fly me towards Toronto which it did using the waypoints I entered earlier
- About 50nm out, I see that the flight path seems to indicate a curve directly over the airport...I check the map and the waypoints, all seems correct. There is a curve in the flight path just before the airport - on the radar it looks slightly misplaced since it's directly over the airport and not 25nm out or something. Looks like a typical bug. Anyway, I check my display and it shows the correct destination including correct runway.
- Since ATC is nowhere to be found (and shit anyway), I descend to 3000ft about 30nm out and watch the autopilot fly a curve that looks and feels quite like the curve I expected on final.
- At this point, I'm also realizing that MSFS simply ignored 2 waypoints that I inserted to make the approach curve a little less steep (the waypoints are shown on my radar, and they are in the MCDU flight plan, the aircraft somehow just decides to ignore them)
- However, the autopilot just flies straight over the airport and keeps going straight ahead
- ?????
any help appreciated!
2024.05.21 17:16 shyshywap i feel so alone what do i do?
i have ocd and have been diagnosed bipolar, however iām always doubting the bipolar diagnosis even though I know deep down itās probably true. I feel like my ocd always makes me chase my hypomania . i have to follow my routine in order to feel normal or just right which in than leads to a nice high. i also just feel like my emotions are so strong itās physically painful, especially sadness.
i crave control over these highs and lows, and use sex as an induced high if i havenāt been manic in a while. sex is the only thing that makes me feel present and like noting else matters. like iām in a movie. i just turned 18 and have hooked up with 70 people since the beggining of highschool.
it scares me that other people donāt feel as strongly as me, i feel so alone and weird and out of place. i struggle finding people as deep as me and iām worried when i go to college i wont find people who get me. im always trying to seek reassurance from friends so they understand why i act the way i act, and it drives me crazy when they donāt understand the highs of emotions that i feel. i feel so alone what do i do ?

2024.05.21 17:15 TunaFish030 I (m, 27) have no friends/social life or partner - and I don't know how to deal with it.
Had a troubled youth involving my mother having severe and life-threatening illnesses and experiencing domestic violence from my father. Classmates used to bully me heavily. Compensated with a lot of sports, stayed away from drugs. Been alone all time, grades were horrible. Managed to graduate from high school (german Abitur), dealt with my past for 3 years doing all kinds of jobs such as cashier, bartender etc. - spending a lot of time reflecting and fighting depression. Been working out and eating healthy since then. I g ot over with all but I had no idea what to do with my life. I then graduated with a B. Sc. Biotechnology but I hated/regret it. W ent on for chemistry and started all over. Now in my last semester with one of the best GPA of my semester. Getting appreciation from professors and research assistants. Working as a low-paid lab instructor for the physics department, but it get's the rent paid. While I am really content with my decision of doing a second degree which I truly enjoy (even though it's so time consuming and stressful that I've only got time for sports), I'm having the worst time. I recently broke up with my fiancƩ. I was in a toxic relationship with her 6 years in total. Due to many reasons (especially jealousy from her side and manipulation) I lost nearly all my friends except of 2-3. Besides them, I only had her and a few cousins from her. After attending the wedding from one of my three only best friends, I got to know another woman I fell heavily in love. Although she told me she had a boyfriend, she also assured it wasn't going well between them. So I kept flirting ultimately knowing into what trouble it can cause me. She didn't rejected my whole bunch of flirting but instead was telling me how sweet etc. she found the stuff. I just figured from a close friend of the lady that she was on very good terms with her boyfriend. I acknowledged this and respect that, but it is already to late. I broke up with my fiancƩ naturally since I fell in love with the other one - and the relationship was toxic and horrible anyway. I don't want to interfere with the other lady's relationship, so I stopped contacting her. Now I feel I'm stuck with my career choice and having no social life at all. I decided to break up contact to all the friends I had since everyone just reminds me of this situation. Some of them fueled the situation by motivating me into the choices I did. I know it's all my fault, so I do not really blame them. I feel empty, mad, angry, confused all at the same time - but in total I feel I screwed up big time. There are no excuses. I feel lonely but fear that I won't have time for dealing with this properly. At least I haven't any ideas how to go on from here. My life is a mess... After all this trouble in my life, I just want somebody I can give love to - and be happy with the other part. It's really dragging me down and I don't know how to deal with it.

2024.05.21 17:11 flamurmurro Scotcheroos and heat problems
 | This recipe is almost comically tetchy. Thought it'd be simple. It LOOKS simple, for lardssake. But I'm still having problems on my fourth try. submitted by flamurmurro to Baking [link] [comments] The original recipe called for pressing the chocolate and butterscotch chips down onto the still-hot base until they softened and melted. But they didn't melt. Stuck it under the broiler on low very briefly, which worked...but even that much heat resulted in ugly spotting (bloom, I guess?) a day later. š¤¦āāļø This time I ditched that method and just melted the chips in 15-second intervals in my small microwave, stirring in between. A day later, it looks better than last time, but there's still some faint spots, as you can see in the pic. How do I get NO spots? tastes good but hoping for less speckles The other issue has been the base. I've learned that the initial corn syrup-sugar mixture is quite sensitive to heat and even a little boiling will turn the base too stiff and crunchy. So this time I took it right off the heat as soon as bubbles formed. I also used all-natural, goopy peanut butter instead of the regular, stiffer stuff for easier mixing. But the natural PB was so unsweet I had to add powdered sugar to it, which thickened it somewhat. š¬ And since there wasn't much residual heat, mixing it with the Rice Krispies was a challengeāit clumped up fast and I ended up crushing more of the crispy puffs than I would've liked. And I had to press the stuff quite firmly together in order to prevent it from crumbling apart. It finally turned out chewy this time, which was a relief, but how can I make the mixing and spreading easierāwithout overheating and hardening the base? |
2024.05.21 17:11 Physical-Cucumber-61 Naim Uniti Atom or pair of Emotiva XPA-DR1 monoblocks to RZ50, for Kef R7ās in large living room
I have a pair of R7ās, that have been powered by an older Emotiva BasX A300 through my Onkyo RZ50, and used with Dirac Live.
They sound decent, but I feel like I could get much more out of the R7ās than from this combination (for 2 channel listening).
Iām not against buying a separate system altogether just for dedicated 2 channel listening, and switching back & forth, but if I can come close in sound quality without having to do that, Iād much prefer that.
So, I have the opportunity to buy Emotiva XPA-DR1 Gen 3 monoblocks from a friend for $1500/pairā¦. Theyāre currently around $1500 EACH.
I can also get a Naim Uniti Atom for $2000 from another friend of mineā¦
Iāve heard of people powering R series with the Atom, and being incredibly happy with the pairing, but I wonder if in my large room would my R7ās benefit more from the super high current limitless class AB power from the DR1 monoblocks instead??
I have dual JL Audio D110ās for the low end by the way.
What makes the most sense to get for them?

2024.05.21 17:10 hurricanebones Non-Guide for BOTs on 7+
DISCLAIMER : if you're AH employee, u're not allowed to read below. move along before i send you to your nearest democracy officer.
I wanted to share my best in slot loadout that rekts bots for any situation :
At long range assault should start with laser cannon to destroy high priority target one after the other. take cover. repeat.
At mid range assault should start with an eagle, cluster on patrol, airstrike on base. laser cannon. take cover. repeat.
If feeling in danger, flee. change target let it despawn before coming back. or I get around to attack from another side.
In team assault, it's very smart to have 1/2 diver outflanking ennemies while the main crew is doing the frontal assault. the outflanking helldivers will be able to safely dump all their sweet DPS (Democracy Per Second) on bots.

- SUPPORT WEAPON : LAS-98 LASER CANON - rekt anything : tank tower / tank / hulk / gunship / all devastator / light unit / good to desarm factory strider (killing it is too long when bot pack is around the factory strider) - for scout and zerker, use primary
- PRIMARY : PLAS-1 SCORCHER - for scout strider and berzerker (I mourn the eruptor doing the same + fabricator)
- SECONDARY : GP-31 PISTOL GRENADE - for fabricator (shoot only from higher ground, and aim at the very low of the vents, prefer eagle airstrike if possible)
- GRENADE : EMS GRENADE (for panic button, kitting, preparing high priority target)
- STRATAGEM : Eagle Cluster - for fast pack clearing
- STRATAGEM : Eagle Airstrike - for fast clearing of tank / fabricator / finishing factory strider
- STRATAGEM : Shield generator - i like to chill and the shield will allow a lot of small mistakes, not big ones. will help a lot to flee a bad encounter
- ARMOR : Medium - Explosive resistance (superstore exclusive for now, but heavy can do as good)
- BOOSTER : Localization Confusion - the patrol spawn reduction is a breath giving
At long range assault should start with laser cannon to destroy high priority target one after the other. take cover. repeat.
At mid range assault should start with an eagle, cluster on patrol, airstrike on base. laser cannon. take cover. repeat.
If feeling in danger, flee. change target let it despawn before coming back. or I get around to attack from another side.
In team assault, it's very smart to have 1/2 diver outflanking ennemies while the main crew is doing the frontal assault. the outflanking helldivers will be able to safely dump all their sweet DPS (Democracy Per Second) on bots.
2024.05.21 17:10 PalmTheProphet Some questions trying to understand the game
Iām writing this air some confusion around some game mechanics and also to vent a little lol.
In no particular order I am wondering about:
āDonāt Leave Meā -> does this appear for a reason? Or just randomly afflicts characters sometimes when repairing the cart? I looked at the characters quirks but neither suggested being afraid of being left behind??
Barricades -> so these are just unfun generators or what? When I first saw them I was excited, I thought I would need to use the push mechanic or use only ranged attacks to damage the enemies behind them.. Youāre telling me you just have to brain-dead smack them and take damage until they break? That feels like lazy game design and pretty unrewarding gameplay? There must be something Iām missing, please do tell me.
Execute -> Iām assuming it means I kill enemies I leave below X health, but nowhere I can find does it explain what this means..
Light dying -> I expected the game to just be over when the light died. But when I realised that instead you get ambushed and can fight your way back, I felt kind of unhappyā¦ Like the fight you get ambushed by is hard enough that when you beat it your run is effectively ruined anyway, as your health is low and your stress has been increased so that all your relationships are in the gutter. Would it have been so hard to just end the game when this happens? The game has enough going on as is? (I honestly think you could take wheel and arm or durability out and have a better game) do people have thoughts on this?
Any tips on team comps and general advice is much appreciated. Thankyou!

2024.05.21 17:07 youllfindlove High levels from low doses? Doctor trying to lower my dose makes me scared
Hello everyone,
I've been on HRT for a bit over a year. I live in Germany and I smoke so my doctor started me on estrogen gel (2 pumps Gynokadin every day = 1,5mg Estradiol, injections are almost impossible to get through official prescription here), Testosterone Blockers (5mg Androcur), and after 6 months added progesterone (100mg Famenita). Testosterone blocker dose stayed the same cause it was working even though the dose itself is pretty low. I went up to 200mg of the progesterone a couple months ago after I asked my doctor and she said as long as I feel good with it, itās fine with her. Now the problem is with the dosage of the Estrogen gel.
They forgot to tell me until end of last year that I need to apply the estrogen gel 4-6 hours before the blood test to get accurate levels. I always put it on in the morning, but on the days when I got my blood test I skipped it and put it on after the blood test since I figured my levels would look inflated if I get the test directly after I put it on (I go to get the test usually in the morning). So for the first 6-9 months my levels looked always too low.
Because of that over the first half a year and multiple tests I went from the starting dose of 2 pumps (= 1,5 mg Estradiol) to 3 pumps (= 2,25mg Estradiol) to 4 pumps (= 3 mg Estradiol) as my doctor told me. When my levels still seemed low (under 60pg/ml) after they doubled my starting dose they finally figured out that they forgot to tell me when exactly to apply the gel.
The first time I got the test with the proper timing of applying it, my levels were way too high for my doctor (444pg/ml) so they lowered it to 3 pumps, which felt really shitty because I was starting to see body changes around that time. Iāve been on 3 pumps for months now and the test results were usually 200-300pg/ml which I could convince my doctor were fine levels and to not lower my dose more even though she wanted to lower it.
Now my last blood test came back with 493 pg/ml. I havenāt talked directly to my doctor yet but Iām sure she wants to lower it to 2 pumps which was the starting dose. It just all doesnāt make sense to me. Am I lucky because a lower dose works so well for me, and somehow my body absorbs the gel really well? Do the tests not work? Should I really go back to the starting dose when that dose in pretty much all cases Iāve seen doesnāt do anything?
I just really donāt know what to do and Iām scared the lower dose will somehow change my body back to when I started HRT.
Thanks

2024.05.21 17:06 aero514 How to add position feedback to a mini linear actuator (encoder/potentiometer)
I'm a first year engineering student making a reconfigurable truss robot, which consists of 20 to 24 mini linear actuators. The cheapest model I could find, with position feedback, is priced at 70-80 USD. However, my professor has asked me to reduce the cost of this project as much as possible, and models without position feedback can be purchased for around 40 CAD (29 USD) each. So, I'm looking at possible cost-effective solutions to implement position feedback myself.
After a bit of research, a good solution (low price, decent resolution, space efficient) would be the use of an encoder. I bought one of the cheaper mini actuators without position feedback to do some testing, and to look for ways to integrate an encoder. An idea would be to install a small rotary encoder on the DC motor shaft (there is a 3 mm gap between the motor and the actuator screw). This would theoretically allow me to measure the stroke of the actuator by measuring the rotations of the motor. The issue is, I have no idea how to integrate an encoder in, say, an Arduino code. The specific model I'm looking at also seems to be missing the 5V and GND pins, which only makes it more confusing. How can I wire this module to a microcontroller (I'm thinking of using an ESP32) ? And what would the code look like ?
Another possible solution would be using a potentiometer, but I've heard that they are less accurate.

2024.05.21 17:05 FattyFinance Should I Buy the Tesla MY with the current promotion?
Weāre due for a car in the next year or two, been kind of eyeing for deals and see whatās out there. We donāt need one right away but both our cars are 200k+ miles and the other is approaching it. We both have sedans and are looking to buy an SUV mostly for safety in winter driving, and more room for family trips with a toddler.
Right now Tesla has .99% promotion for finance. After all incentives and minimal down payment I expect to finance 35k for 60mo which comes out to be $560/mo.
I have enough to put more down but given the low rate, I plan to put other 10k into the market instead.
I am hesitant on pulling the trigger because it pains me to have a car payment, (never had one always drove beaters). Even if I put more down payment having $300/mo payment feels uneasy/guilty to spend.
On the flip side my wife has been driving her car more than 10yrs, I know she really wanted an SUV and prefer somewhat new so I really want to make her happy. Used market is not the best either for what you get itās almost better to buy new.
We also looked at other options like the RAV4 hybrid, CRV hybrid are the two w wouldnāt mind getting but those cost about the same as the Tesla after tax incentives but higher financing rate around 5-9% which will actually cost more than the Tesla. That is msrp not including dealer markups for these high demand models.
Again we donāt need one right now but FOMO is getting to me especially if rates continue to be high.
What do you think? Or what would you do in my shoes?

When we left the cafe, we followed her to the real estate office of the Fenner Bros. and we waited about an hour, sitting on a bench. Every second I spent on Isaac's shoulder as a frog was me sunbathing, contemplating life, and daydreaming about torturing and murdering Nonon. As Tiana ran out of the office, she beckoned us to follow us. Tiana: Come along! I gotta show you guys! We followed her down the street for a couple of blocks before we found the old dilapidated building she was planning to buy. Only seeing the outside of the building, the Fenner brothers came up to the realty sign and removed it. Tiana: Everything looks peachy keen Mr. Fenner, and Mr. Fenner. Fenner 1: We have the paperwork ready to sign first thing after Mardi Gras. Tiana: I'll do you one better. I'll sign them tonight when I see you at the Labouff masquerade ball! The two brothers ignored her, putting the wooden sign into their car and driving off with it. Suddenly, an older black woman appeared behind Tiana. Tiana's mother: Table for one please! She was holding a big sauce pot with a red ribbon on it. Tiana: Mama! Tiana's mother: Here's a little something to help you get started. Tiana: Ah! Daddy's gumbo pot. Oh. Tiana hugged her mother and she spoke again. Tiana's mother: I know. I miss him too. Well now, hurry up and open the door. Upon opening the door, Tiana shut the doors immediately and both her and her mother began to hyperventilate. Something was terribly wrong. Isaac: T-Tiana is it? Is something wrong? Suddenly, a hole was smashed through the door by a big furry arm as Tiana and her mother ran over to Isaac and his behind him, screaming! Tiana: What the hell is that? Isaac reached for his plasma saw and turned it on. It whirred loudly before both doors were slamme open and a dozen of those rat-humanoid monsters barged out! Ryuko: Shit! Rat bastards! Come on Isaac, you can take them down! Tell Wiz and Boomstick who's boss! Issac: Oh I will. I'm an exterminator too on top of being an engineer! Nonon never seeing these monsters before put her hands on her ears and screamed "Oh my G-d" over and over again as Isaac ran into the fight with me and Buzz as frogs on his shoulder! Isaac: Mourir monsteurs! Isaac slashed through the horde, swinging quickly and broadly as he cut them down multiple at a time! He jumped high into the air and used his summoned swords magic to shoot two rat bastards, impaling them before clapping and blowing them along with any nearby rat bastards up! Nonon: What are those things? Oh my G-d! Gamagoori as a big bullfrog woke up and climbed out of Nonon's pocket. Gamagoori: Rats! The monsters Wiz and Boomstick created to try and slow Ryuko down so she can't save Mako! Come on! We gotta fight them! As Isaac cut them up, we saw two cheese pukers emerge from the open door, I called it out to him but saw a big mass of bricks on the roof. Ryuko: Cheese pukers! Don't let them get close! I'm gonna take them down! Isaac: Ryuko wait no! I hopped off his shoulder with Buzz and we hopped onto the wall, climbed up before hopping over to the mass of bricks, me and buzz then began to push them off all at once slowly before they all fell onto the stationary cheese pukers, causing them to explode! Blood, guts, and rotten cheese slurry splattered all over the street, the sight and sent caused Tiana, Nonon and her mother to puke. Gamagoori hopped out of Nonon's pocket and hopped over to the wall and climbed up with us. Gamagoori: I'm gonna help! Isaac! More are coming! More rat bastards charged at Isaac, but he began to cut them all down as they got close. The ones that tried to swipe and swing at him were easily dodge as Isaac was very fast. He dodged, dashed and even did backflips to avoid their attacks all while cutting them down with one swing of his powerful plasma blade! Emerging from the door once more was a big, muscular rat monster with crusty, disgusting fur with dead, diseased rat fetuses stuck to it. It ripped one out and threw it at Isaac, he dodged it quickly! Isaac: Tiana duck! Tiana, Nonon and her mother ducked as the diseased rat-humanoid corpse flew over their heads, mere inches from their scalps. Isaac then used his summoned swords magic again and threw two glowing blue swords into it before clapping and blowing it into bloody chunks! None of it's diseased biomass hit us or our human friends bellow. Isaac: That's not all... We heard a tapping sound, it became more rapid as Tiana, Nonon and her mother squeaked in fear and all three got rolled into a ball to protect themselves. Out of the doorway was the last rat bastard, but the most horrific looking one. It was as big as the doorway, it had six spider legs, it's body was a big mass of gray fur with two rat bastard heads and a human head wearing a crown in the middle. The human head was familiar however, with the burned scar over it's left eye and brown hair. Ryuko: Santa told me... Those rat bastards are from a mix of rodent DNA and DNA from Z-Zuko! That's Zuko's head? The Zuko head stared at Isaac for a moment before it's mouth opened up, revealing hideous, rotten needle-like teeth! Zuko head: Rarrgggghhhhh! It ran over to Isaac, trying to get one of it's disgusting heads to bite him, but he jumped around and avoided it! He whirred his plasma saw loudly before jumping behind it but before he could cut it's three heads off, the new rat bastard spun around and bit his plasma saw, holding it in place. One of it's spider legs swept Isaac's legs and he fell to the ground. It then slowly began using it's heads that bit onto the plasma saw while having it's mouths avoid the cutting blue blades press on further, as the plasma saw was pushed further to Isaac's neck, he sweated profusely! Isaac: You! Mon-steur! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Isaac struggled with it before Tiana ran up behind it with a random wooden plank she used as a club and hit it over the human head! It let go and pulled back and turned towards Tiana, hissing at her before Isaac began to slowly overpower the two rodent heads still pushing on! The two head's teeth accidentally slipped on the blade and Isaac soon cut through their heads, killing two of them. Tiana jammed the wooden plank down the human Zuko head's throat but it bit down and bit the plank in half! Isaac's plasma saw then cut the human head off after cutting through the two other rodent heads from behind! Isaac then kicked the newly killed monster off of him high into the air before Isaac dropped his plasma saw, grabbed it by the legs and swung around with it like a track and field throwing ball before releasing it and it flew high into the sky, so high as a matter of fact that we eventually lost visual contact with it as it travelled so high. Isaac took some deep breaths before picking up his plasma saw, turning it off and holstering it on his side. Tiana: Are they gone? Nonon: What were those things? Isaac: You didn't run into them? They're the race created by Wiz and Boomstick to kidnap Mako. They're monsteurs me and Ryuko fought. If you want to travel with us, you better not be dead weight. You did nothing to help. Ryuko, Buzz and Gamagoori can't fight at their best right now because of you. So you can do your part or get out. Nonon: Yes sir. I'll-gulp try. Tiana: T-thank you for saving me. You are very strong and handsome! Isaac: Ma plaisir. Tiana: Did you fight in the great war? You are French after all. Isaac: Great war? World War o- oh... No I didn't. What year is it again? Tiana: 1926! Isaac: 1926! I'm only 26. I... I was 18 in- Tiana: 1918. Did you fight? Isaac: Errrr... That's not important. Anyway, I'm going inside your new restaurant. I'll check for any more of those rat bastards. Tiana: Thank you. Can you tell me when it's clear? Isaac: Oui. Isaac proceeded into the ruins before me, Buzz and Gamagoori hopped down a hole from the ceiling, landing on his shoulder. Isaac: I should of known we travelled back in time in this world. We're in 1926. I wouldn't be born until 1992. Ryuko: Dang. We're 92 years in the past. Yet again we were in the 15th century months ago. Gamagoori: What are you talking about? Ryuko: Me and Isaac going through these worlds, some of them are in the past, one was in 1482! This is the second historical world we've been sent into to find the next dimensional stone. Buzz: Interuniversal and time travel I see. Your civilization is more advanced then I thought. Ryuko: Well, it's magic really. Buzz: Magic! Interesting. I wonder if I can use any. Ryuko: We'll find out. Gamagoori: I hope you guys know what you're doing. Will the dimensional stones lead us to Mako? Ryuko: Yep! Sure will. It will lead us to Mako, we'll save her from Death Battle and we'll kill Wiz, Boomstick and their raping ringmaster. Gamagoori: I just hope we don't get stuck in the past. I hope you know what you're doing. Also I want to be human again. Ryuko: We'll get there eventually. Meanwhile, in the streets of New Orleans, Prince Naveen was joining a street band playing Jazz as everyone was surrounding him, the women were especially fawning over him. His fat servant ran over to him! Lawrence: Prince! Naveen: Dance with me, fat man! The prince took his servant's hand and began to dance around with him for a minute before he announced a proposal to the crowd. Naveen: Drinks are all on me! Everyone was cheering, but the servant grabbed the prince and pulled him closer to question him. Lawrence: How are we going to pay for all of that? You have no money! Either you go and slip out when nobody's looking, or get a job! Lawrence pointed over to a man behind a horse shoveling it's poop into a bucket. Naveen: Eugh, fine Lawrence. But first, we dance! He pulled Lawrence even closer and began to dance with him. The prince let go of Lawrence and he stumbled into the band and his head ended up inside of a tuba! Naveen: Ha ha! You're finally in the music! Get it? Because your head is inside of a tuba? Ha ha! Lawrence: Get me out of here! Naveen and a member of the band pulled at Lawrence before both the prince and his servant were flung out of a tuba and up against a wall! Lawrence: Agh! How degrading! This is... Oh hello? Looking up, a slender figure in a black suit and black top hat appeared, he had a top hat with a skull and crossbones on it. This man looked suspicious but he greeted both of them kindly. Dr. Facilier: Gentlemen! Enchante? He lowered his walking stick, allowing the prince to grab on so he can be lifted up. Dr. Facilier: A tip of the hat from Dr. Facilier! How y'all doing? He handed the prince a purple business card. Naveen: Tarot readings? Charms? Potions? Dreams made real? Naveen and Facilier began to walk around a corner into an alleyway. Dr. Facilier: I'm in the business of visiting royalty. Lawrence followed him. Naveen: Lawrence! Lawrence! This remarkable gentleman has just read my palm. Lawrence: Over this morning's newspaper. Sire, sire, this chap is obviously a charlatan. I suggest we move on to a- Dr. Facilier: Don't you disrespect me little man! Don't you derogate or deride! You're in my world now. Not your world. And I got friends on the other side! An echo was heard, saying "Friends on the other side". Dr. Facilier: That's an echo, gentlemen. Just a little something we have here in Louisiana, a little parlor trick. Don't worry. Dr. Facilier led the two to a door under a sign saying "Dr. Facilier's voodoo emporium", and once leading them in, him and his shadow sat them down at a table as Dr. Facilier high-fived his shadow then took a seat and continued his singing. Dr. Facilier: Sit down at my table, put your minds at ease, if you relax it will enable me to do anything I please. I can read your future, I can change it 'round some, too, I'll look deep into your heart and soul. You have a soul too, don't you Lawrence? Lawrence: Yes? Dr. Facilier: Make your wildest dreams come true! I got voodoo, I got hoodoo, I got things I ain't even tried! And I got friends on the other side. Dr. Facilier pulled out a deck of tarot cards and shuffled them before the duo as he continued to sing at them. Dr. Facilier: The cards, the cards, the cards will tell the past, the present, and the future as well! The cards, the cards, just take three, take a little trip into your future with me! Naveen and Lawrence picked three cards before Dr. Facilier took them and told them to the duo. He started with the prince first and continued to sing about his tarot card readings. Dr. Facilier: Now you, young man, are from across the sea. You come from two long lines of royalty. I'm a royal myself on my mother's side. Your lifestyle's high but your funds are low. You need to marry a lil' honey whose daddy got dough! Mom and dad cut you off, huh playboy? Naveen: Eh, sad but true. Dr. Facilier: Now y'all gotta get hitched, but hitching ties you down. You just wanna be free, hop from place to place But freedom takes green! It's the green, it's the green, it's the green you need. And when I looked into your future it's the green that I see! He then turned to Lawrence and read his tarot card results to him in a musical fashion. Dr. Facilier: On you little man, I don't wanna waste much time. You been pushed around all your life, you been pushed around by your mother and your sister and your brother, and if you was married, you'd be pushed around by your wife. But in your future, the you I see is exactly the man you always wanted to be! Dr. Facilier crossed his arms and expected the duo to shake his hands. Dr. Facilier: Shake my hand, come on boys. Won't you shake the poor sinner's hand? Naveen shook reluctantly as Lawrence shook with a mischievous grin on his face. Once they did that, the curtains came down and an army of singing masks began to sing as Naveen and Lawrence were suddenly bound to their chairs! Dr. Facilier: Yes! Are you ready? Voodoo spirits: Are you ready? Dr. Facilier: Are you ready? Transformation central! Voodoo spirits: Transformation central! Dr. Facilier: Reformation central Voodoo spirits: Reformation central! Dr. Facilier: Transmogofication central! Dr. Facilier then pulled out a talisman and clipped Naveen's finger with it, getting blood into it and initiating a curse with it. Can you feel it? You're changin', you're changin', you're changin', all right! I hope you're satisfied, but if you ain't, don't blame me! You can blame my friends on the other side! The musical number ended as Dr. Facilier danced around with the voodoo spirits! Voodoo spirits: You got what you wanted! But you lost what you had! Dr. Facilier then dashed forward on his knees before blowing, and everything went dark. Back at Tiana's new restaurant, Isaac emerged from the doors, me, Gamagoori and Buzz were in his pockets as he approached Tiana. Isaac: Good news Tiana, it's all clear! Tiana: Oh thank you! You're my hero Isaac! Now, I just need to make some changes around here, so I may turn this into my dream. It will have to wait. I have to eventually go to the masquerade ball tonight. Isaac: Oui. |
2024.05.21 17:05 Financial_Pitch_8593 Bounce rate - getting weirder
I've stumbled upon something that's been boggling my mind - the bounce rate. It's always been a tricky metric to interpret, but lately, it seems like it's taking a turn for the weirder.
Here are a few strange scenarios I've encountered that might shed some light on why bounce rates can sometimes be downright bizarre:

Here are a few strange scenarios I've encountered that might shed some light on why bounce rates can sometimes be downright bizarre:
- Sudden Spikes and Drops: One day, your bounce rate is through the roof, and the next, it's mysteriously plummeted. These sudden fluctuations can be puzzling, but they often stem from external factors like changes in traffic sources, seasonality, or even technical glitches.
- Bizarre User Behavior: Have you ever noticed users bouncing off your site after spending a considerable amount of time on a page? It's like they were engaged, and then poof, they're gone. This could be due to users finding the information they need quickly and leaving, or it could indicate a disconnect between their intent and your content.
- The Case of the "Non-Bouncers": Sometimes, you might come across pages with an unusually low bounce rate that seems too good to be true. While it's great to see users sticking around, it's essential to dig deeper and understand why they're not bouncing. Are they finding what they're looking for, or are they stuck in a loop of confusion?

2024.05.21 17:05 Classic-Product6321 my fiance cheated
SORRY FOR LONG POST I DESPERATELY NEED ADVICE PLEASE HELP.
Iām not married, im engaged and weāve been together 7 years. if not allowed please disregard and remove post, i need advice bad and donāt know where to turn.
my (30m) fiance (30f) has been texting her coworker very sexually for months now. i have been feeling a strong emotional and physical disconnect from her for months as well. ive brought it up many times but its always her āhormonesā or āstressā which i 100% agree. we both have very stressful high pace jobs and also two young boys (5,6). i decided iāll check her phone just to see, ive never felt a disconnect like this between us and she always use to be all over me and over the top lovey and touched so this is far out of character for her. low and behold i see messages going back to february to her 47yo male MARRIED coworker. it wont let me attach images so ill just try to highlight the main concerning texts which is nearly all of them.
it started off because sheās into smut books if you will, and he apparently writes smut short stories. she read him and excerpt from one of her books and he felt the need to text her one of his short super dirty stories. she replies to this saying itās āhot and heās a good ass writerā couple messages go by and heās making obviously but subtle sexual comments to her saying āhow did they get a camera in my room to write those booksā thereās too much to repeat all the messages but to highlight he keeps making comments sexual in nature, she replies to one about a sex dungeon saying āif you had a room like this one in the book, iāll be overā to which he says ānot anymore iām marriedā she says something then he says āi didnāt say i was happily marriedā more conversation then he says he has ābad knees but that doesnāt mean he still doesnāt get his heartrate upā she says āi have a bad back we would do great togetherā he says āi would get a swing to swoop you off your feetā, insinuating a sex swing, she says ātalking about swings in have one at home collecting dust as we speak š ā (sex swing) a lot of innaproraite conversations happen for months. a few more key things is they have a quiet room at work, itās like a single person small room with one couch for employees to go relax and unwind at, totally isolated and hidden from plain view, there is a lot of messages about meeting together in the quiet room. he says āi would never knock on that door unless i knew who was in thereā she says āif itās āourā break time you know itās me ā he says ā itās super cute she called it āourā break time. and that he āneeds written permission to enter the room while sheās in thereā she replies a :) and says that he can come in the room anytime he wants if sheās in there. fast forward to next shift all she sends is a time ā1730? :)ā and he says āas alwaysā then she says āgood boy, that was your written invitationā
Iāve also met this dude once at her coworkers party. he sat right next to my fiance, i sat across the table and i noticed with 5 min of meeting this guy that something was suspicious. he was openly being flirt right in front of me so much so that i texted my friend and said i donāt like this guy that sitting next to my fiance heās scheming.i sent that message as this was going on in front of me. this happened after the messages were sent about going to his private sex dungeon and gun sweeping her off her feet with a sex swing. but the event took place months ago before i knew these messages existed.
my fiance claims nothing has ever happened physically between them, the messages are leading me to highly suspect otherwise. she has no excuse other than she doesnāt know what happened and what she was thinking. sheās extremely apologetic and has him blocked now. i reached out to this guys wife and his wife has no idea about this whole situation and says that this guy has cheated before. prior to this our relationship has been extremely healthy and sheās my, or was, my dream come true. i never expected this.
what would you do? would you call off the wedding? i feel like this is cheating and i know i will never be able to get over this and trust her again 100%. sheās apologetic beyond belief, has blocked him and said anything i need she will do. she still works with this guy and always will. iāll always have doubt about her now and am worried she will do it again. if i wouldnāt have caught it this time around it would have continued for god knows how long and probably went even further the way things were escalating.
TLDR; my(30m) fiance (30f) has been sexually texting and meeting privately with her (47m) married (previously cheated) coworker. she denies anything happened physically which is very hard to believe with the nature of the messages and private meeting.

2024.05.21 17:03 ExistingDistance7413 Current Job: Non-sensitive (NS)/Low Risk, Next Job: Noncritical-Sensitive (NCS)/Moderate Risk
I passed a background investigation last year (15 mo. ago) for my current job (GS in DHA) Non-sensitive/low risk, suitability and fitness.
My next job (Army civilian GS) requires a more entailed investigation: nonceitical-sensitive/moderate risk, and suitability and fitness determination.
What will this entail?
Will they just used my information already in the system?
Or will I have to go through the process of doing an SF-86?
Will it take as long as my first background investigation last year?
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

2024.05.21 17:02 SannaMariah Is it worth staying? f23 together with a m25 that keeps on lying to me
Sorry for the story being all over the place.
I do not know where to start with this post. When I, F23, (lets call him Ryan) started meeting up with Ryan, 25y/o (january 2023, we are in a long distance relationship), i was in a deep depression from experiencing severe trauma and Ryan was the first man that ever made me feel loved. He gave me gifts, his time and energy and just made me feel loved in a way i had never experienced before with a man. This lasted for a while before I noticed that he pulled away a little from the affection (which I thought was normal since I was so depressed and probably a bit of a burden to be around). Him being cold only lasted a little before the affection was back and I felt calm. I then noticed that he had hid important information away from me for months. This included aggressive behaviour and the use of illegal substances. I was clearly upset and he said he had hid this from me because he did not want me to leave him. Being with him felt and feels like a rollercoaster. He is very hot and cold and it used to give me loads of anxiety. I then found out numerous posts about me on his reddit page which included topics like: "i keep getting obsessed with girls and sometimes it only takes a Hi from a girl to become obsessed, im in love with a girl i only spoken to on the phone and i sent this girl gifts to her house after only talking for a few days (im the one he sent gifts to)". This year went by including loads of ups and downs which I guess is normal for a first healthy relationship. He still showed me and shows affection but it was a lot less than in the beginning which i also thought was normal.
This year he has been affectionate, loving and caring in periods of time, not always but it has unfortionately been enough for me to stay. Things have happened this year as well. IĀ“m a strong advocate for not watching porn in a relationship and we both agreed not to watch it. I then found out that he had been watching porn behind my back and I got so upset because I feel like it is cheating. After crying so much, i know for a fact that he has done it again. I feel like staying in this relationship is not taking care of myself. By him being hot and cold like this, ive been having to really struggle and build myself up to become an individual that will feel fine on my own, so for that I have to thank him for. When I tried to talk to him about something that was bothering me because it keeps happening even though i mention it to him (his constant critisism, micromanaging, no compromising, stone walling and selfish behaviour) he fell asleep during the day and during this conversation. I left the apartment because I felt deeply hurt and had to go for a walk and then he came up running after me in the forest which scared the living shit out of me. He says IĀ“m overly sensitive.
IĀ“ve been trying to have deep conversations with him and IĀ“ve tried to talk to him about what is bothering me but he never apologises, validates me or even listens to me. It makes me not even bother to talk to him anymore after the incident I mentioned above. He does not even feel like kissing me. He knows how traumatised I am and the fact that I hate abrupt screams and abrupt physical movements but he has done it either way. He also screams at his mom sometimes because he wants to be heard first. His mom is an angel and IĀ“ve had to tell him to stop treating his mom like that.
I feel like IĀ“m a shell of the person I used to be. My self confidence have been at an all time low and I forgot who I was before him. I have been doing hundreds of hours researching how to be a better girlfriend, how to understand him better, how to communicate efficiently because i always felt like i was the issue and that it was my fault for being so anxious and sensitive. I feel happier when IĀ“m not around him because I really enjoy my own company and the way IĀ“ve let myself flourish on my own.
His selfishness includes the lack of compromising, that he expects hours of massages but sighs if I want it returned, our activities has to be of his liking and he would never do something just because itĀ“s something I want to do. I rarely feel stimulated by our conversations either. I feel like he loves me for what I do for him and the fact that he is not alone but not for me as a person and that is why he keeps me around.
Is it worth staying with him or not?
TLDR: My boyfriends lack of respect for me and his lies makes me doubt that I want to stay in this relationship.
Thanks for reading. I appreciate it a lot.

2024.05.21 17:01 Red-Wolf-17 Trying the Beginner Routine but I think I screwed up???
 | I have low porosity wavy hair, roughly 2b-2c as you can see in the photos submitted by Red-Wolf-17 to curlyhair [link] [comments]
I read up on the Beginner Routine and tried it starting last night. I'm super grateful for how extensive the doc is, it's a lifesaver š I've never been much of a hair or make up person, so this is all very new and daunting. However, I really don't like the results from my first attempt with the gel, and I'm not sure where I went wrong? Here's what I did:
