2024.05.22 05:08 Revolutionary_Hat501 Rumble in 3-5 gear in a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport (Manual Transmission)
I have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport, 1.6T, 6 speed manual. I was in third around 4500-5000 rpms when I lost power all of a sudden. I was quick to kick in the clutch and put it in neutral, but now when I accelerate there is a deep rumble, it almost sounds like the muffler has been cut off. It’s perfectly fine in first gear, and a bit worse in second, but in third/fourth/fifth it’s the most noticeable. I haven’t gone fast enough since to go sixth but I imagine it’s the same there. I can still feel and hear the turbo in second, but not in any gear past that. When I rev it in neutral it doesn’t make the noise, but if I let it idle for a sec and then rev it it sounds a little shakier. There is also a hiss when I first press on the gas, but that’s only noticeable when I have my hood popped. I have a video of the noise if that would help, but it won’t let me post it on here. Idk if I blew the turbo, the transmission, the exhaust or what. Or it might be as simple as a loose vacuum seal but I am not mechanically inclined enough to know how that would affect it. If anyone has any idea please let me know what it may be.

2024.05.22 05:07 Trainzfan1 How to I build growing tension?
So for context: My main character has just minutes ago escaped a fight with an antagonist and is trying to lay low when three side characters come along and two of them start pestering her. One with questions, the other because she's a somewhat of a shitty person, being a spoiled brat. Also for context as this will be important, the main character has these powers that are basically the equivalent of god, but can only be used for short periods of time as they use a lot of energy and she has no idea how to trigger them because they run off of emotions. Anyway the two side characters keep pestering the main character while the third one stands off on the sidelines uncomfortable until the main character snaps and flies into an uncontrolled rage with her powers activated while the third side character defends the other two. My question is how do I make the audience feel the anger and tension of the main character growing slowly, creeping up on the reader until it reaches a bursting point without it feeling like its rushing to the climax?
Please tell me if you need more details, also this is fan fiction, so if it seems a bit wild of course it is.

2024.05.22 05:03 SuitsOverSwag Are banks obligated to prevent an ongoing unauthorized ACH fraud against victim accounts that are with other banks?
So here's my story: this past Saturday, I discovered that someone had initiated a series of unauthorized ACH transfers over the prior week or so to my Fifth Third Bank account. I obviously disputed these immediately with Fifth Third, but I also made it a point to notify all of the "transferee institutions" - stores, banks, etc - that fraudulent transfers were attempted on my account.
One of the transfers I noticed on Saturday was a several hundred dollar pending transaction to an institution known as Varo Bank. I noticed that a day prior, there were some apparent verification microtransactions to my account from Varo (which would indicate someone broke into my Fifth Third account and directly pulled the account/routing number and linked my account to a Varo account - of note, Fifth Third does not appear to have a Two Factor Authentication system).
When I advised Varo of the transaction, they told me "Unfortunately, we do not have the capability to stop or cancel incoming ACH transfers. You will need to work with your bank to dispute the transfer and resolve this with them." I assume that is true, and that I will have to count on Fifth Third to properly handle these disputes. But that's not the issue. The issue is that today, I noticed a brand new pending unauthorized ACH transaction from Varo Bank, again for several hundred dollars. I disputed it with Fifth Third as well, and I notified Varo that this fraud is continuing.
But here's where my question comes: does Varo Bank have any obligation to do something to stop this continued ongoing fraud from occurring, given that I notified them of the first transfer immediately and this one occurred several days later? Why can't they simply do whatever research is needed to unlink my account from whatever fraudster did this, and/or simply block my account from being pulled from their institution? Do I have any feasible claim against them if they do not do something to stop this fraud from being facilitated through their bank?
Further, is there anything I should do other than continue disputing through Fifth Third? I have already filed CFPB and OCC complaints against Varo, but I'm honestly not in this to file complaints or get some kind of revenge. I am just stressed out and would like to know my money is safe and that I won't be dealing with unauthorized Varo Bank transfers every day for the next several weeks while all of this is being sorted out and my money is in limbo. One can't be sitting here forever filing disputes every day.
Thanks!

2024.05.22 05:00 Ukrainer_UA 5:03 EEST; The Sun is Rising Over Kyiv on the 819th Day of the Full-Scale Invasion. The Glorious History of the 92nd Assault Brigade, part one.
 | The 92nd Assault Brigade, Part 1Field insignia of the 92nd.The Ukrainian army has undergone a significant transformation since the country regained independence: from the remnants of a Soviet structure, to powerful units that have been repelling Russian armed aggression for over 10 years. Soldiers have strengthened their might in battles, trained with Western colleagues, and continue to do so today. One of the leading units, especially during the full-scale invasion by Russia, is the 92nd Assault Brigade named after Kozak Otaman Ivan Sirko. In this special documentary project "Units of Victory," we talk about the brigade’s combat achievements and the fiercest battles. _______________________________ Profile of the 92nd Assault Brigade named after Kozak Otaman Ivan Sirko
History of the Brigade's Formation and Early Combat Encounters The 92nd Brigade was formed on the basis of the 6th Division of the National Guard of Ukraine, which had been part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 1999 and was called the 6th Mechanized Division. In 2000, the then-President of Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma, approved the creation of a new unit—the 92nd Mechanized Ropsha Brigade of the Orders of the October Revolution and the Red Banner. Thus, this year is considered the founding year of the 92nd Assault Brigade (92 OShBr). The unit's name was changed in 2015 when the Ukrainian army began the process of decommunization. The brigade became the 92nd Mechanized Brigade. The honorary name—named after Kozak’s Otaman Ivan Sirko—was granted by President Volodymyr Zelenskyi in 2019. The Brigade maintains close connection to the Kozaks and the Zaporozhian Sich as part of Ukrainian combat tradition. For example, the sleeve emblem features the muskets of the Zaporozhian Kozaks — yanycharky. These were commonly used among the Kozaks of Slobozhanshchyna—the region where the 92nd Brigade was formed and is based, and which Brigade’s defended in 2022 during the Kharkiv counteroffensive. During these events of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Brigade's soldiers demonstrated their offensive capabilities, leading to the unit's designation changing from mechanized to assault in August 2023. https://preview.redd.it/p3duly6h6w1d1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=7ff2f25ae26fabe27b9ecf4de5085bbcc0b892e7 In 2011, the 92nd Brigade, which was then preparing to protect state facilities during "Euro 2012" in Donetsk, faced significant reductions by the government and was slated for disbandment by 2015. However, the events of the Revolution of Dignity and the onset of Russian aggression in the East re-drew these plans. The Brigade's soldiers were able to demonstrate their effectiveness: in 2014, they participated in the attempt to break the encirclement of troops at Ilovaisk, fought in the areas around Stanytsia Luhanska, Shchastia, and along the Bakhmutka river. In 2015, the 92nd Brigade engaged in battle and captured two soldiers from the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) and recaptured the town of Shchastia. Since 2020, the Brigade has been led by Colonel Pavlo Fedosenko. From 2014 to 2015, he served in the volunteer battalion "Kryvbas," which was formed in response to Russian aggression by the residents of Kryvyi Rih. Pavlo participated in the battles of Ilovaisk and Debaltseve. He continued his military career in the 54th Mechanized Brigade, and later in the 92nd Assault Brigade (92 OShBr). The commander values the unit's soldiers for their cohesive work: "This is a powerful Brigade with principles and traditions. Therefore, it was very easy to command this Brigade; there was no need to change or break any foundations. It was just a matter of leading and managing."For Pavlo Fedosenko, it is important to be close to the personnel, understand the situation, and know what is happening on the front lines; otherwise, he says, he cannot make decisions. This has not changed since the Brigade was granted assault status. On the contrary, according to the commander, it adds to the responsibility as well as the prestige: "First of all, it is prestigious for every warrior to be considered an assault soldier [...] Secondly, we are always at the forefront. Thirdly, we are at the spearhead of attacks. We are more often on the offensive than on the defensive. [...] Every warrior is proud to be an assault soldier."https://preview.redd.it/8wco6fvi6w1d1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=ad5c5e7998dcff327074a1fd1985c5100a976112 The Start of the Full-Scale Invasion: The Defense of Kharkiv In 2022, the Brigade faced the Russian offensive along the entire border line in the Slobozhanshchyna and Donetsk regions. The invasion was not a surprise to them; the soldiers had been preparing for months, creating the illusion of troop deployments for the enemy. They also improved the level of training for their personnel: in November 2021, infantry and officers participated in the Combined Resolve XVI Exercises in Germany as part of an American battalion. February 24, 2022, was more tumultuous for the 92nd Assault Brigade (92 OShBr) than anticipated, despite their readiness for enemy actions. They had to constantly relocate and establish new positions. According to the commander of the tank battalion, Oleksandr (call sign Phoenix), the start of the full-scale invasion felt like a movie: "We were just near the military camp, standing in a grove. The funny thing was, we were near the RAA (Rocket and Artillery Armament) depots where ammunition is stored. We were essentially sitting on a powder keg. [...] We were lying in a tent, sleeping. One of our guys came in. At that time we already heard some 'bangs.' And we were like, 'Is it like fireworks.' It was something unclear, completely incomprehensible. He turned on the light, looked at all of us, and we were already lifting our heads, realizing something was happening. He said, 'Guys, this is no f’ fireworks.'"https://preview.redd.it/open24uj6w1d1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=c939f56dd2630e0cc8386f4e5792e7b05cd7b1c1 The military Brigades knew their objectives and had prepared defensive positions, but they couldn't occupy every one of them in time. The enemy advanced in a wide strip along the entire border, following military manuals to the letter. Artillery Brigade Commander Andrii recalls: "At first, the enemy's artillery operated strictly by the book. They would bombard areas exactly as the manuals said, covering hectares with hundreds of shells, without discerning specific targets. I think they started the war using Soviet Union methods, as written in their combat regulations, showing no initiative, sparing no ammunition. They didn’t care about their own units or people, standing in a line. In the first week, they didn’t even try to hide. But I realized that when the Russians understood they were taking losses, they also wanted to live. [...] Something awakened in them, and they started to hide."Brigade Commander Pavlo Fedosenko estimates that the initial force ratio in the Kharkiv direction was approximately 1:10 in favor of the occupiers. Ukrainian defenses had significant gaps that the Russians could have exploited if they had wanted to. Commander of the 4th Assault Battalion Petro was surprised that the enemy did not take advantage of this. The opponent moved as systematically matching the organized defense. https://preview.redd.it/bsddhbrk6w1d1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=c35a24a573b039d5b16f4f0e0abd28213fa3d8c5 One of the reasons for this could have been that the Russian soldiers genuinely believed they would be greeted in Kharkiv with flowers and happy cheers. As a result, they often did not plan their logistics carefully, losing equipment due to a lack of fuel and facing food shortages. Additionally, Ukrainian soldiers were not merely retreating; they were also managing to strike the enemy, engage in battles, and complicate the advancement of Russian columns as much as they could. The Brigade's artillery units constantly fired at the enemy, day and night. Commander of the Rocket Artillery Battery, Oleksii, with his division, struck Russian forces near the village of Pechenihy, close to Chuhuiv, on the first day. He and his mates were near the Pechenihy dam when they learned from intelligence that the enemy had once again set up pontoons and started crossing in columns. The artillerymen then opened fire. "At that time, we weren't sure about the results of our fire. [...] We fired, and I heard the shells falling, a few seconds later I heard explosions, and I heard the detonation of ammunition. I understood then that it was 100% hitting enemy ammunition, not residential houses or fields. I realized we were doing something significant. Within the first 24 hours, I understood we had hit very well. A few days later, it became clear that our Division alone had destroyed three enemy columns. These were not just 10 vehicles each; they were kilometer-long columns."https://preview.redd.it/v045byql6w1d1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=ab14f052450553a37a29de34916ba9106e9e7816 The 92nd Assault Brigade regrouped near Kharkiv and, together with other units, maintained the defense. Sometimes, clashes with the Russian army occurred within the city itself — the enemy managed to break through from the outskirts only once (they took positions on the ring road around the city). For example, soldiers from the Brigade were among those who fought against special forces in Kharkiv Specialized School No. 134 on February 27. One of the key operations, according to the soldiers of the 92 Brigade, was the assault on the village of Mala Rohan, approximately 22 kilometers from Kharkiv. Lieutenant Colonel Oleh (callsign Barracuda) recalls that they faced well-prepared and equipped Russian troops. The enemy had heavy flamethrower systems (known in Russian as TOS) with thermobaric rockets that disperse an explosive substance which mixes with the air and detonates, as well as Nona towed artillery installations. According to Oleh, the Russian soldiers managed to establish a foothold in a wooded area between the road and Mala Rohan, where they held out for quite some time before retreating after a battle. https://preview.redd.it/c3zgd4nm6w1d1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2301777478971311d2212d676e259ffec4dd0c3 However, this assault was pivotal, demonstrating to both the soldiers of the 92nd Brigade and the Russians that Ukrainians could and would not only defend but also go on the offensive. Brigade Commander Pavlo Fedosenko emphasized: "The entire war is difficult. It was harder in the early days to break the enemy. Transitioning to a counteroffensive, moving on to Mala Rohan—these were the most challenging moments. When we had to overcome, when we had to rise, stand up, and move forward. After we went forward, we realized that we were capable, that the enemy was not as terrifying and strong as portrayed. After this, we continue to move forward and will keep advancing until victory."During the defense of Kharkiv, the 92nd Brigade captured its first prisoners. Commander of the 4th Assault Battalion Petro said: "Our first prisoners turned out not to be Russians, but our Ukrainians from the occupied territories. These were 18-20-year-old guys from Makiivka, Donetsk, and Yasynuvata. Students. We talked to them about how just yesterday they could travel anywhere across Europe. Their parents came to visit them from Europe. [...] And all of this ceased to exist in an instant."https://preview.redd.it/dtwpv0jn6w1d1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=e503de0a70736fd125db2db413ac3d96ac2a1a6e He was most surprised by the number of Ukrainians recruited into the ranks of the Russian Federation. Among the Russian prisoners, there were both experienced soldiers and newly mobilized ones. They all had a common explanation for their presence in another country's territory. According to the Brigade Commander Pavlo Fedosenko, all the captured Russians claimed they were on exercises and didn't know where they were going. In those early days, the main thing was for Kharkiv to be defended. Major Oleksandr (callsign Skat), Commander of the 22nd Motorized Infantry Battalion, believes that it helped significantly that most of the Brigade's soldiers were from Slobozhanshchyna. They understood they were defending their own land: "Nobody wanted, nobody, nobody even had the thought to abandon Kharkiv, to retreat somewhere, to leave."According to Pavlo Fedosenko, the successful defense of Kharkiv was also possible thanks to unity. Soldiers from different Brigades and units worked together, supported by police, territorial defense, and volunteers who promptly responded to requests, while civilians provided situational updates: "Everyone fought. Everyone who could hold a weapon. Those who couldn't hold a weapon—the phones were 'red hot.' People helped, called: 'The enemy is there, we see them there, we see them there.' And not just from Kharkiv, from the entire region. 'There’s a column, there’s something'—[they told us]. Accordingly, everything was promptly responded to, processed, and fire damage was inflicted."_______________________________Join us later in the week for Part 2! _______________________________ The 819th day of a nine year invasion that has been going on for centuries.

2024.05.22 04:54 Beyond_Partisan Autocratic versus Democratic: an argument to abandon liberal versus conservative
The only spectrum that should matter to us is the autocratic versus democratic spectrum. Traditional political parties, such as every political party organized in the United States, is organized as a faction with autocracy at heart. They are competing within a democratic system to impose their rules onto others.
This is the very behavior we sought to rid ourselves of. We had been under the rule of autocrats for generations. Is this what we are going to do with our opportunity at freedom? Use our freedom to be the autocrats?
A conservative position is seeking to conserve power where it already is. A liberal position is moving part of that power from its place of concentration to another. This is not political power we speak of - it is economic or social powers.
This is no way on which to organize. It’s irrational and unjust. Not all powers should be distributed, and not all powers should remain concentrated. Unjust actors are on both sides of this argument. Some unjust actors want the power to be concentrated in their hands so they can be oppressors. Some oppressors want the power to remain concentrated in their hands because well, they like it.
What doesn’t factor into this spectrum is justice. This spectrum happens to assume that individuals must be either liberal or conservative on every issue. This cannot be the case.
Any free, reasonable, and just person will assume a myriad of both liberal and conservative positions. Why do we adopt what is in use and perpetuate its practice, even when all our senses reject it?
View the world in terms of liberal and conservative to see through arguments and get to the root of the reasoning behind them, but don’t use it to organize people and factions. We inevitably force ourselves to associate with positions we otherwise wouldn’t, and we cede our power to think for ourselves. We fight someone else’s fight, and for all the wrong reasons.
We only need to organize and rally around our democracy. Any other banner will eventually lead us back toward the authoritarian control we so proudly escaped.

2024.05.22 04:41 The_All_Father4300 Mahito and the power that mirrors mankind itself. An in depth scaling made by me
 | So, I made a post recently about me thinking Mahito is underrated and if I should make a post on my personal scaling for him and I got a very positive response on that post, so here I am to make my personal scaling of Mahito and why I think he is a solid contender to be inside the top 10 of the verse even after so many time since his departure on the story. submitted by The_All_Father4300 to JujutsuPowerScaling [link] [comments] So, there are a total of 5 main categories one needs to touch when scaling a character: strength, durability/resistence, speed, intelligence and abilities. I will tackle all of them in 1 or more paragrapths, having this explained let me begin: How strong is Mahito? First category and easiest to answer, how strong is Mahito? Well, for starters lets break a misconception here, Mahito is most definetly NOT relative to Yuji and Todo in most of his stats, he scales much higher and strength is not different. Going for the first image and feat of strength now Mahito is able to knock Ultimate Mechamaru with a punch, Kokichi points out that if he takes more hits like that Mahito will break through Mechamaru's armor, which he later does in the fight, breaking into Mechamaru's cabin with another punch. This alone should already put Mahito's strength above Shibuya Yuji's as his best feat of strength in the whole Shibuya arc is be able to throw a car at Jiro on the second image which quite less impressive than knocking a giant armored Mechamaru and breaking in with 2 hits. Third image, Mahito casually sent Yuji flying with a punch and said that if he "put his back into it a little more" he would have splitted Yuji's skull, implying that he didnt straight-up one-shotted Yuji bcs he wasnt trying much, its also good to remember that Mahito had a duplicate when this happened which means Mahito was weaker by an unknown ammount, arguably not much tho considering his duplicate was so weak that Nobara could fight against it for a bit. Fourth and fifth image Mahito also scales above his Polymorphic Soul Isomer, a transfigured human so strong that not only punched Todo through a building but made him ricochet both on the ceiling and the ground multiple times, Mahito not only should scale above him since he is the one that created PSI(Polymorphic Soul Isomer) but because he directly did way more damage to Todo with his black flash, now, you might say that this is an outlier since black flashes are way more powerful than a normal punch, and I would agree with you... If It wasnt by the fact that Todo used all his cursed energy to reinforce the place that Mahito would hit with black flash while he didnt reinforced himself at all when he received the attack from PSI, so Mahito's BF did way more damage than PSI punch even if Todo used all his cursed energy to defend against the first one and none against the second one, which should mean regular punch from Mahito > PSI punch. Sixth and last image to scale his physical strength and the most impressive feat, final form Mahito created a huge crater by simply slamming Yuji against the ground. Now this feat is crazy, ppl dont seem to grasp how immense this crater is, but this image showcases well how enormous this crater is, as the seemingly small pipes on the right are actually gigantic when the page zooms on Mahito and Yuji, Mahito height on his regular form is 1,85 meters according to the fanbook but ISBODK Mahito is a bit taller so I put his height at approximately 2 meters, comparing Mahito's height with that part of the pipe behind him and using it to calc the size of the crater I came to the conclusion that this crater is AT LEAST 20 meters deep and have 30 meters of diameter, Mahito slammed Yuji through 20 meters of concrete and earth/stone and created a crater with the diamater of 30 meters, I kid you not that in terms of pure showcase of strength this is only behind Yuki punching Kenjaku thought the Sunyata barrier, no one aside from Sukuna, Gojo and Yuki have a better feat of strength, not Yuji, not Toji, not Maki, not Hakari, not Kashimo, not Ishigori, no one other than the 3 characters I mentioned have a better showcasing of strength than Mahito and he was already operating bellow 40% of his strength, perhaps even bellow 10% considering just prior to this he got hit by a black flash from Yuji on the face right after using his domain (talking about Yuji, I have no idea how this man survived this, he was probably operating at 1% or lower after he got hit by this ngl.) Well, now that I think I covered all the relevant points about Mahito's strength I think I can go for the next point: How durable/resistant is Mahito? When it comes to durability Mahito is also a beast and we dont even need to go far to understand why. Mahito is directly stated to be more durable than Choso's armor as we can see on the eight image, the same armor that greatly reduced the damage Choso would receive from Sukuna's black flash on nineth image, is good to also remember that earlier Choso got easily impaled by Sukuna's bare hands, so the fact his black flash didnt completely pierced through Choso's body shows how much Choso's armor mitigated the damage he would receive, Choso's armor also scales above Hanami's durability which is regarded as one of the most durable characters of the whole verse, now you might think: "But this is post training, Choso's armor is likely more durable." But I think thats unlikely, Sukuna comments on the progress of everyone he notices progressed such as Higuruma, Yuji and Yuta but he never does any comment regarding Choso's techniques, not a single comment on how piercing blood seemed faster than the last time or his armor being toughter than before, so it should be safe to assume that Choso progressed as a sorcerer by learning RCT and simple domain, but his blood manipulation techniques didnt got any better than they were. Even when it comes to actual damage to his soul directly Mahito is also pretty tanky, he took a resonance from Nobara that directly harmed his soul, got a combo from Yuji for 4 pages straight without being able to move or reinforce himself with CE, got his clone destroyed, received a black flash from Yuji then received another black flash from Yuji on the face right after using his domain and then still survived a black flash where Yuji himself stated he would put all his cursed energy into It. So even Mahito's soul is very durable and resistant, and the durability of Mahito's soul also increases with the durability of Mahito's body taking into consideration that Yuji's normal punches did 0 damage to Mahito's soul after he transformed into ISBODK. With the scaling of Choso's blood armor and ISBODK scaling above it I think its easy to say Mahito is also one of the most durable characters of the verse, around Ishigori or base Rika levels of durability, personally I think he is slightly more durable than them. Up to the next topic! How fast is Mahito? Now, this is a topic many people say Mahito is greatly outclassed, but lets see what he can put on the table here! Mahito can outrun, outmaneuver and dodge Mechamaru's Pigeon Viola while the same also tries to punch him on image 10, that should scale dead even with Yuta dodging multiple smaller granite blasts on page 11. Mahito was also able to dodge a point blank Ultra Cannon with only a burn on a part of his face. Mahito is also the only one among the disaster curses that actually dodges a physical attack from Gojo, besides him all of them get punched, kicked or grabbed when Gojo tries to do so. There are more feats of reaction speed from Mahito but those you will see soon in another category, whats important to know is that Mahito should have a reaction speed and movement speed compared to base Sendai Yuta before the 200% amp, which means that at his final form Mahito should have a movement speed and reaction speed twice as fast, very good, but it isnt absurd when compared to the top tiers of the verse. Next category. How smart is Mahito? Mahito is one of the smartest characters of the verse, he is a quick learner, creative and with very high adaptability, one of the best showing of this is how quickly Mahito catches on and adapts to boogie woogie, a technique that he himself states that its disorienting even when you know how it works, but through the fight he correctly guessed when and with who Todo is going to swap him with, we can see that on images 14, where despite Todo swapping places with Mahito, Mahito is the one that ends up catching onto it and hitting both Todo and Yuji, then we have page 15, where despite getting swapped with Yuji, Mahito is still one step ahead and duplicates himself so he won't get damaged and page 16 where Todo swaps Mahito's place twice in a row but Mahito can still see it coming and blocks Yuji when Todo swaps him with his clone(all of this are both feats of adaptability and reaction speed). We also see how much of a quick learner Mahito is when he copies Gojo's move of expanding the domain for 0.2 seconds on page 17 and this was the third time Mahito ever expanded his domain on his LIFE even Megumi who is also deemed as a genious throughout the series isnt that smart and fast to learn(Mahito's 0.2 domain is also extremely fast, when the same move was used by Gojo It caught Mahito, Jogo and Choso before they could react and Jogo could have used domain amplification to protect himself from UV, so its just a matter of very few characters having enough reaction speed to clash against or protect themselves). Creativity wise you can just use any time Mahito uses idle transfiguration as an example, really, I could spend the whole day talking about It. So another time, Mahito is again among the very best of the verse when it comes to his attributes. Last category. How powerful are Mahito's abilities?* This one should be a category I shouldnt spend much time on, If there's something everyone agrees is that idle transfiguration is one of the most powerful techniques of the verse, It makes Mahito virtually invulnerable to any kind of damage that doesn't affect his soul as he himself said multiple times as we can see on image 18 for example and that by itself is already a huge problem on his base form, but on his final form Mahito is top 5 most durable characters of the verse, give him invulnerability on top of that makes Mahito already invincible for most characters of the series, If that wasnt enough be aware that as a disaster curse Mahito's cursed energy reserves are massive, the same used his cursed technique for the whole night, transfigured way more than 1000 humans, kept changing his body, used other techniques like soul multiplicity and used his stock of transfigured humans till the very end, attack him until he runs out of cursed energy isnt reliable at all, you will surely die first most of the time. Talking about transfigured humans, those are the main stock for mahito to use his other techniques, like body repel and Polymorphic Soul Isomer and at his peak on Shibuya Mahito had 1000 of them under his direct control on the subway station, there's an argument to be made that all the transfigured humans on the entirety of Shibuya were under Mahito's control, and that would give him a near endless stock of transfigured humans for him to use as he wish, but even without going for this line of thinking Mahito still had many transfigured humans stocked inside him, allowing him to create many Polymorphic Soul Isomers, use body repel many times, and use his transfigured humans on the most unique ways such as using them as a machine gun, setting up traps, creating walls to make the opponent lose his sight and much more. Lasts things I want to adress about idle transfiguration is some arguments people use against Mahito and the technique, the first one and easiest to dismiss is that Mahito couldnt one tap Nanami and that means Mahito would need way more hits against stronger characters, making the technique lose its effectiveness, for one to understand this is a complete misconception look no further than Mahito vs Mechamaru, a grade 1 sorcerer much, much more powerful than Nanami who had temporary special grade sorcerer output/firepower and still got one tapped by Mahito, the reason why Mahito didnt killed Nanami with one touch before is because at that time Mahito was way weaker than he is at Shibuya, he barely knew how to use his technique and didnt even had a domain yet, he got exponentially more powerful between his first fight with Nanami and his fight with Mechamaru and 200% more powerful than that on his strongest state at Shibuya, so idle transfiguration is indeed extremely lethal even for extremely powerful sorcerers, the other argument against Mahito that some people use is that reincarnated sorcerers can hurt Mahito's soul, and that isnt true and was pratically confirmed on image 19 where we have a flashback to Yuji and Choso talking about souls and how Yuji and Sukuna are exceptions for being able to interact with would like they do because Choso can't even feel the soul of his vessel and Yuji says that thats because of the massive gap of cursed energy between the cursed object and the vessel, meaning that Choso and almost all the reincarnated sorcerers can't interact with the soul and cannot hurt Mahito's soul because of that. And again, Mahito have one of the most powerful and versatile abilities of the verse. Now, does it even make sense for Mahito to actually be this powerful? Well, according to Gege's own opinion on image 20, yes, considering that he said Kenjaku, the widely regarded as third strongest character of the verse, would have a really hard time on a fight against Mahito (as well as Jogo.). So seriously guys, what are you all waiting to start putting Mahito on your top 10? One of the strongest characters on the series, one of the most durable on the series, speed good enough to keep up with anyone in the series that isnt Sukuna and Gojo, one of the smartest on the series and with one of the most powerful abilities on the series, Mahito is an all around beast who deserves recognition for his power, stats and brains. And with this I end my analysis, thank you for everyone that read this until the very end and above all I hope this comment section is respectful because I spent quite a lot of time on this research and it mentally tired me lol. |
2024.05.22 04:41 Fit_Benefit2865 Why would my therpaist terminate in this way?
I recently experienced a really painful experience with termination and am still struggling to understand why my therapist (a psychologist) would terminate in this way.
I will try and keep the story as brief as possible (although it is going to be long) and obviously this is only my side of it.
I have been seeing this therapist for almost a year. They are my first one. I am male. They are female. She is slightly younger than me.
I initially went there to discuss my relationship problems. It was one of those scenarios where I wanted to do couples therapy with my wife but she refused and ultimately I said OK Iwill go alone.
I would be lying if I said I did not form a deep attachment to her but this attachment was never in a way which was sexual or where I desired her to be part of my life outside of her office. And this is being 100% honest with myself.
I have been a very closed off person including to my wife and whatever reason my ability to try and open up to my therapist was an extremely new experience for me and resulted in this attachment which I have discussed with her.
Our communication outside of sessions would be an email or two from me a week mainly to jot my thoughts down about what I would like to discuss with her in session.
My continued attendance with her became a problem for my wife in that she thought it was a form of emotional cheating. All of this was relayed to my therapist. I am not after any commentary about whether my wife is wrong or right to feel this way - it is what it is.
My final session with my therapist, from my perspective went somewhat along these lines:
1.) We discussed an ultimatum my wife had given me essentially regarding termination of therapy or the end of our marriage
2.) We discussed this in the context of my wife setting a boundary and whether I could seek therapy elsewhere
3.) I discussed that I did not wish to do this process again (therapy) with anybody else and I wouldn't be doing that
4.) What we didn't discuss was whether I actually wanted to terminate therapy. I never once communicated that I wanted to or that I was going to terminate with her
5.) I would describe whathappened next is that she manipulated the conversation into a termination as though it was being guided by me but she was essentially putting words in my mouth, cancelling our further sessions and pushing me out the door, early.
6.) I was so overwhelmed by what I perceived her to be doing that I essentially shut down, unable to communicate that I could see what she was doing and that I did not agree to terminate. I was getting more and more hurt and angry every second I was in the room. I beleive she was acutley aware of this.
7.) I felt that the session was highly manipulative on her part - in that I truly believe she used her power over me and skills to make it seem like I was terminating when it was in fact her.
I eventually got the courage to call her out on this behaviour as feedback via an email.
I eventually got a reply as follows:
Hi X
Firstly, I appreciate the honesty and feedback. Thank you for expressing it. It was never my intention to make you feel unwelcome in my office, or as though you could not continue to receive treatment from me. My intention is always to help my clients and provide them the support they need to grow.
However, it is my professional responsibility to you to assess the impacts of treatment from our sessions. After the discussion we had regarding me as your therapist in the first half of our session on Thursday, it became apparent that my appointment as your therapist has become a maintaining factor to reaching positive therapy outcomes which you seek. I understand the magnitude of this but truely believe you are capable of meaningful engagement and continued progress whether it is here or at another clinic based on how far you have developed since our first session.
Kind regards,
X
My reply was as follows:
Hi Therapist
I really do appreciate your reply.
I guess from my perspective we should have had that conversation. As I said in my prior email I would have listened to you and respected that. I don’t know why you felt that we could not or should not have that conversation. Instead, I walked away feeling the way I did. I actually felt really manipulated.
I do really thank you for your honesty with me today and can honestly tell you that it actually helps me a lot to understand and give me closure.
Regards
X
I have not received any further reply.
I essentially take her email as an admission of what she did (the final paragraph). I just don't understand why she would not have discussed this with me. This is the whole point of therapy!! Open and honest communication..
Regarding her comments, I actually would agree with her... I take her last paragraph to mean either of the following:
1.) I went to her originally trying to better my relationship with my wife and ultimately that seems to have failed and the process while perhaps being beneficial to me overall has created a greater wedge between my wife and myself; or / and
2.) The connection I have formed with her is working as a road block to me wanting to open up more to my wife
Both of these things are probably true and I take no issue with this - I just don't understand why she would not have this conversation with me and ultimately left me feeling really manipulated.
I am wondering from a therapist perspective how and why this could have happened this way??

2024.05.22 04:41 No_Tie5217 Looking for some Stranger Things
Hello there! I'm looking for people who want to write in the Stranger Things fandom who are 18+ as I am 18+ myself. I would also like to mention that all characters must be 18+ as well. My writing style fluctuates depending on the scene and what I am given by my partner but I like to keep a minimum of 350 words with all of my posts. Most of my posts really averaging to about 500-600 words. I also prefer to write in the third person, past tense and I prefer to write on discord. I also enjoy making mood boards, character boards, playlists, and love to gush about the roleplay!
As for plot, I'm really open for anything at the moment! We can do something in an AU, follow the aftermath of Season 4(again, characters must be at least 18), I even have a plot idea myself! Although, I would like to state that I don't want us to stray too far away from the series canon and by that I mainly mean the setting. Genres for the plot should kind of be similar to the genres present in the show: Action, Drama, Romance, Angst, Comfort, etc.
Currently, I'm looking to write against an Eleven. She is actually my favorite character from all media! I love her story so incredibly much, finding her own identity, trying to learn who she is as a person with her powers and childhood, finding people who care about her and give her a normal life, trying to shine the darkness away like, I can go on and on and on!
I want to keep this short and sweet so if you are interested or if you have any questions, feel free to dm me! Hope you have an awesome day!

2024.05.22 04:30 rdk67 Spring Day 63: Actualizing with Thich Nhat Hanh
The day is as hot as any other, but now that my body has come to expect it, I slip on a shirt, plus my beaded necklace, head out to the commons, sprawl in the grass, make like a solar panel and feel inspired. The heat is like a warm round of applause, and I begin reading Thich Nhat Hanh’s advice about mindfulness, happiness and impermanence, its adjacency to the lived experience of heaven on earth, which is more than enough incentive to cause an average summer reading program to really take off. Mindfulness is easily achieved on a day like today – really? challenge the clouds – the clouds are having dreams of being clouds, like each cloud has an aura, which is also made of cloud but wispier, resulting in a sky that dreams of being sky. Maybe the sky is the illustrious career of whoever painted the clouds onto it. They urge the mind to take a breather.
So I try to keep my eyes on the page, and for a few minutes that goes great, but then something tickles my neck, and a minute later, something tickles my wrist, a minute after that, something prompts me to imagine the feminine spirit of nature gently grazing my scalp with a fingertip, as though moving concepts around in my head by force of will, and my experience of time does change – I can feel it – and that present-tense notion of time seems to corroborate the story that vacant commons areas on a sunny spring afternoon aren’t really vacant at all. In point of fact, if the whole place were crowded with people, it wouldn’t much budge an expert’s estimate of the total life already there – average natural abundance is so awe-inspiring to begin with. There are half a billion blades of grass, for instance – I did the math. Who knows how many million ants.
Something tickles my shoulder – I mindfully stop what I’m doing, brush myself off, check out a tiny beetle bug with an orange spot on its back that landed in my lap. A black ant longer than my thumbnail charges down my pant leg. A plant-hopper stops on my knee, and it is a shade of green impossible to believe, a brightness that glows. It adjusts its direction ceremoniously, like it’s consulted some interior atlas of becoming, then leaps away. In the grass on a day like today, the mindfulness tends to find you, and I know the longer I sit there, the more likely I will be to never get up – to get lost in the crowd of life, which at this time of year is surging upward and outward and downward, even as its making trillions of babies to sail through the air. I watch a seed-dreaming-of-seeds levitate above the grass, climb over the treetops, vanish in the clouds.
If humanity has a brilliance unobserved, I nominate our ability to turn the life of potential into the lived existence of the actual – we do it all the time, compulsively even, a term of agreement practically, with occurrence in all its forms. With every breath and wheeze, every eye blink and heartbeat, every ideation of color, form, and sequence – we are self-conscious standard bearers of the present. Or so we would like to believe – the clouds above are panoramic to a degree that gives the stuff of the earth, just being the stuff of the earth, the starring role no matter who we get to stand in front of them, how many skylines we erect. The clouds seem nude in a way, like their striking dramatic poses for the students to sketch with sticks of charcoal. These aren’t the sort of clouds that make it rain, at least not on us. They seem intent on foreseeing the future.
Can clouds do that? If the mind is a kind of cloud, then of course they can, though what follows is soon followed by a desire to shape the future, at which point the clouds check the time, gaze off into the distance, then hurry on, all of which is plenty true of the human mind. Hey, what’s for dinner? I make red beans and rice for the umpteenth time in my life, set the pot to boil, then forget about it, which is an instance of learned incompetence in that, when I finally remember to set the timer, I always end up leaving the pot on the stove ten-minutes too long, and that causes the bottom layer of rb-and-r to caramelize, which deglazes itself when the food cools, and the resulting dish is so substantial – so actualized of its potential – that being mindful of my eating is a pleasure – the rice’n’beans, the parts like hash browns – they rise to my lips like book pages.
This compassionate attention to the value of the actual is not evenly distribute in my life – not even close – such that my living space is more like the sort of hollow that wild mammals tend to prize, the ones they were hole up in all winter long, which was only a couple of month ago, remember – the squirrels still remember that week in January when life in the outdoors passed through a sub-zero death zone. I see three yearling squirrels dancing around the most westward of the sycamores out front. I stop in my tracks, give them time to see me with their fresh social constructs – two hang on either side of the tree, looking at me directly, curiously, and the third is poised at the base of the power box. Power? Don’t do it, I project telepathically – whatever it is, just don’t do it. Your existential task is to unearth vintage nuts, not disrupt global authority.
Or proceed as you please – it’s up to you. How much trouble can the three cutest mammals on the block get into on a day like today? I make a clicking sound by pulling the tip of my tongue off the roof of my mouth, an aural expression I equate with speaking squirrel – I come in peace, I want it to mean. If I had something in my pocket to feed them, the whole interaction would be complete, but I’m empty handed then, so we end up inching toward each other for a minute, get in some good meet-and-greet get-to-know-you time. This probably happens every spring, urges me to carry baggies of popcorn on my person when I’m outside, fantasize about squirrels sitting at the picnic table with me, rubbing their fuzzy ears against my chin, buttoning my shirt for me.
We’re in it together – this is what nature told me today and what I think about later in my peace church loft, which sounds like a brand of sustainability, when someday they sell such a thing to the average consumer. Peace Church Loft – what everyone will be into one day, like an incense fragrance, an aural sensation, more or less guaranteed to produce a life sustained. Faith finds its resurgence when new congregations manifest in the environment in order to erect churches that brim with lofts. Thich Nhat Hanh advises: As soon as we understand the causes and nature of our feelings, they begin to transform themselves. Themselves – they transform themselves when we understand. The nature of the universe is to grow reality by comprehending it, a little better tomorrow than today. A ghostly finger grazes fine hairs on my neck, draws a line to my earlobe.

2024.05.22 04:27 1984JLS Why does a name brand HT hit repeaters but a cheap ht won't?
Just trying to understand differences here. I have been a vol ff for 20+ years. Never had a HT that had many issues hitting a communications repeater on my area.
The dept issue ff coms radio I have now is a Kenwood (not sure of model) but the antenna is bent and patched with electrical tape, in rough shape bit still consistently gets out.
I have three or four different Baofengs and a Quansheng, and some of those have authentic Nagoya antennas. None of those get out much at all on the same ff coms frequencies. Programming is correct.
I know there is most likely a power difference and other things, but I am genuinely curious what factors affect this.

2024.05.22 04:27 Spare_Lobster_2656 Dealing with multiple fact tables issues
Can anyone provide me with insight on how to deal with multiple fact tables from PowerApp sourced through DataVerse? PowerApp has NUMEROUS fact tables. Such as the people in one table connected to the business units in another table through a third table that contains peopleID, businessID, and the a peoplebusinessID. To connect either of those to the questions table I need to connect to yet another table with only IDs.
All the data is linked somehow as I have been able to create a merged query that merges the 5 different tables into one, but I know that is going to cause refresh issues.
I've looked into query folding and that's not an option with this particular data set (View Native Query is grayed out).
Any suggestions for how I can go about tackling this that won't cause refresh/performance issues once I get more data in the tables? TYIA

2024.05.22 04:14 medussy_medussy A collection of random information on the newer Legion Tower 5 (Gen 8+) that I've found that doesn't seem to be widely known
I've been struggling to find info on certain things regarding this machine, so I'm going to compile a few things I've learned from tinkering here in hopes that anyone furiously googling their weird question about legion towers can find this post.
submitted by medussy_medussy to LenovoLegion [link] [comments]
- If your PC is making a "cricket" noise, it's the PSU. They are not very good. You should replace it. It's not difficult. Cables are very well managed and unlike earlier models, the side of the newer towers have metal hooks you can bend back and forth to secure cables (as opposed to zipties). There are also a couple of ziptied cables, but you can remove things without worrying about them. Look up videos from technitwit on PSU replacement for Legion towers.
- It's far, far easier to remove the top grill by pushing the clips up from the inside as opposed to using a spudger from the outside like the manual suggests.
- You can pull the front panel really hard from the lip at the bottom to get it off. It's going to feel scary but it's fine.
- Most PWM fans aren't going to play nice with lenovo's fan curve and just run at a constant 800 RPM. Maybe there are ways around this.
- Adding top fans in either intake or exhaust do absolutely nothing to the temps in this case.
- There are cutouts for mesh filters under the front and side panels. Just get some you can cut yourself off amazon.
- While there is physical space for a third fan at the front, there are no mounting holes, so don't bother.
- You probably won't fit a triple fan card in this case. If you do, it's gonna be tight. Your best bet is a dual card.
- The GPU bracket is a real pain to get off. You REALLY need to push hard on the screws to get them out of the GPU.
- A square of electrical tape over the power button LED perfectly solves the blinking it does when in sleep mode.
- If you randomly get really high temps (especially after changing a part), reset your bios and power off the machine for a few minutes. No idea, man.
- If you add a fan and then remove it, vantage will piss and shit itself and claim your rear fan is breaking with an error code. It isn't. Don't be like me and replace it, only to put it back. Just reset your bios and lighting settings.
- Be very careful of the RGB headers on the Mobo. They WILL get bent to shit with the slightest touch. But you can bend them back (within reason).
- If you want to control the CPU fan, use the steps outlined on this post: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Desktop-Towers/Lenovo-Legion-T5-26AMR5-CPU-overheating/m-p/5069785?page=9. Any fan control software, including Legion Fan Control, is non-functional on these machines for some reason.
- Vantage is the enemy. Configure things once and then never use it again. It will break out of nowhere and do weird things. Keep the machine on balanced mode with legion ai off, make your lights look pretty, and just never look again, man. It has so many weird bugs.
- Your PSU has a dust filter! Check the bottom of the machine. You should probably go clean that.
- Your SSD is behind the GPU, probably. Seems to be the case with most models, but consult your manual.
- There are SATA cables plugged into nothing at the bottom of the motherboard. They can get caught in the GPU fans. Don't ask me how I know, lol. You should just take them out unless you plan to add an extra sata drive in.
2024.05.22 04:10 Contraus Career “Regulation Changes”
So, I was cruising through my third career season with maxed out Aero, Power, Chassis, and Durability upgrades. I started skipping practice programs because I figured I didn’t need Resource Points anymore. Then, with 8 weeks left, out of nowhere, I got notification there are regulation changes and 75% of my upgrades are gonna be trashed if I don’t “adapt” them. Like, literally 3 of 4 entire departments worth of upgrades are “not compatible” with the new regulations. So frustrating. Guess I should’ve never stopped doing all the practice programs. 😔

2024.05.22 04:05 Weird_Foundation5044 Queen Marika is an evil version of Mother Mary
I saw the new story trailer for the DLC and had some thoughts.
First, as many have already pointed out, Marika took away the golden thread to gain her power. Many also pointed out that it was taken from a womb. I speculate that Marika was the father of the child inside that womb and that the mother of the child was a god. Marika gave birth to a child and took away its godly power. The most interesting implication of this speculation is that if we assume this is what Marika did, she was basically an evil version of Maria in Christianity(they even have practically almost the same name). Maria gave birth to the son of God. Marika gave birth to the son of a god and stole its power.
Second, there is a clear distinction between a god and a lord in Elden Ring. Marika was the only one who accented to Godhood. You become the Elden lord when you beat the game but not the Elden god. In Bloodborne, you can be a god in one of its endings but it is not available in Elden Ring. So a random person cannot be a god by simply being strong. Even if you are so strong that you can beat the Elden Beast you cannot become a god. It looks like there is a way now. By giving birth to a child with a god and taking away its power.
Third, Marika remarried not for gaining political alliance but for giving birth to a proper female demigod. We can see a pattern here. Marika gave birth to three male demigods, then she remarried. She had to wait for a female child before remarrying again to Radagan. And she left Rennala after she knew Ranni was a defiant child not willing to listen to her calls. In the end she gave birth to the defected twins Miquella and Malenia. It was precisely at this point that Marika decided to destroy the Elden Ring. Why was Marika trying to have a female child? I think she wanted to have a strong female demigod who she can impregnate to get a child in order to replicate what she did in the beginning. A normal less powerful female simply would not enough to produce the godlike substance that gave her power. And why did Marika want to become even more powerful? To be truly free and powerful that she is no longer under the control of the Greater Will.

I'm currently in the market for a new vehicle and am considering purchasing a Tesla, but I could use some advice from those with experience. Here’s my situation:
Current Vehicle:
- Toyota Corolla
- Family of five
- Space is a major issue; everyone feels squished, and the trunk is always packed.
- A larger, affordable SUV
- Tesla Model Y or Model X
- 0% APR (if possible)
- Options to finance or lease
- I live in an apartment, so I'm concerned about the practicality of owning an electric vehicle without a dedicated home charging station.
- Tesla Model Y vs. Model X: Which one would be better for a family of five in terms of space, comfort, and cost? How do they compare in terms of total cost of ownership, considering maintenance, insurance, and potential savings on fuel?
- Financing Options: Are there any promotions or financing plans available for 0% APR, either directly from Tesla or through third-party lenders? What are the best strategies to secure the lowest possible interest rate?
- Living in an Apartment: How feasible is it to own a Tesla without a home charging station? Are there practical solutions or tips for charging an electric vehicle when living in an apartment complex?
- Leasing vs. Financing: What are the pros and cons of leasing a Tesla versus Financing one outright in my situation? Are there any hidden costs or factors I should consider?
2024.05.22 04:03 agnelchettiar Exploring Symptoms of Alopecia Areata Understanding the Puzzle of Patchy Hair Loss Best Hair Loss Treatment Coimbatore
Imagine waking up one day to discover a smooth, round bald spot on your head. It’s not just a bad hair day; it’s alopecia areata — a condition affecting millions worldwide. But what exactly is alopecia areata, and how does it unfold? Let’s look into the intricate web of symptoms, causes, and treatments that define this mysterious condition.
As the condition progresses, the story unfolds in different ways. Hair may regrow within months, offering hope amidst the barren patches, or new patches may emerge, expanding the canvas of hair loss. In rare cases, it evolves into more severe forms — alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis — where hair loss extends to the entire scalp and body.

Decode the Symptoms
Alopecia areata can come out of nowhere, usually affecting hair follicles but sometimes involving nail beds too. At the outset, it shows up as round or oval patches of hair loss on the scalp, leaving behind bare spots without any signs of rash or redness. Some folks even feel tingling, burning, or itching sensations before the hair starts to fall out.As the condition progresses, the story unfolds in different ways. Hair may regrow within months, offering hope amidst the barren patches, or new patches may emerge, expanding the canvas of hair loss. In rare cases, it evolves into more severe forms — alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis — where hair loss extends to the entire scalp and body.
Decoding the Symptoms
Beyond what you can see, there are more subtle clues, like itching, changes in colour, and unusual hairs — thicker at the top, narrowing like an exclamation mark — that give a clear picture of how the disease is moving forward. In the middle of all the not-knowing, there’s a pattern. Hair grows, then it falls out again, and it can feel like a ride with ups and downs — moments of hope and moments of feeling let down.A Visual Journey Through Alopecia Areata
Looking at pictures helps you see what people with alopecia areata go through. Each picture — from when they first lose a patch of hair to when they lose a lot — shows how strong they are. The loss of eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair marks pivotal moments, showing just how deeply this condition can affect someone’s sense of self.The Mystery Behind Alopecia Areata
What sets off this autoimmune reaction, causing the body to turn against its follicles? Alopecia areata is like solving a puzzle with many pieces. It involves your genes, environmental factors, and sometimes just chance. But it’s not just about what’s happening physically; it’s also about dealing with feelings and social challenges. It’s like walking through a maze where stress, worry, and feeling sad are all part of the journey.Hope in Treatment and Management
