Hey ,
1 year ago I was beat up and sustained facial scars and a small hole in my ear, and as a signed model, this is quite a concern for my career. I'm trying to understand how much extra compensation I might be entitled to due to the impact on my work?
Context:

• The scar is noticeable and on a visible part of my face. Quite small but very dark purple, I also have bumps next to my eye that will need micro needling surgery to not have a bumpy texture there, they are very noticeable on my side profile. And all small scars are generally very visible from my side shots.
• I'm currently signed with a modeling agency and have ongoing contracts.
• The scarring is affecting my bookings because I can't do a casting video without makeup, hence affecting my income.

Questions:

1. What factors typically influence the compensation amount for facial scarring in the modeling industry?
2. Can I ask for more in claim due to being a model and it affecting me getting booked?
3. Can I ask for compensation for surgery to even my skin tone and get rid of scarring?

Contract:
Medical Treatment and Rehabilitation: "The insurance can provide compensation for reasonable costs of care necessary due to an accidental injury. This can include treatments such as microneedling and laser treatment, as long as they are prescribed by a licensed doctor or specialist as part of the rehabilitation."
"To receive compensation for these treatments, they must be approved by (insurance) before the treatment begins. This means you need to submit a treatment plan or recommendation from your doctor to (insurance) for approval."
Compensation for Aesthetic Consequences: "If an accidental injury covered by the insurance heals with permanent disfiguring scars or other lifelong aesthetic consequences, the benefit provides compensation calculated according to the table used by the insurance industry and in effect when the compensation is paid out."
"The compensation is paid out when further significant improvement cannot be expected through healing or treatment. However, the compensation is provided no earlier than 1 year and no later than 3 years from the date of the accident."
Conditions for Compensation: "Costs for care and treatment are only compensated if they are necessary and reasonable. You must be able to demonstrate that the treatments are medically justified to improve your appearance following an accidental injury."

• I gave them a call and all they replied with was that they only gave compensation to retired people... I am sending them an email later tonight so that I can have everything in written.

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! (:

my crappy job pays me 15.22€/hour before taxes. Today, my ‚boss‘ (the dude in charge of this particular shift) asked very sweetly if we (including me) could stay an hour or two longer because we‘re short staffed. I could use some more additional money, even if it‘s just a little over 30€
then I realized: my actual wage is minimum wage (12.41€/hour in Germany) with an added voluntary pay on top to make the job more attractive. any calculation of additional pay (working after 8pm increases your wage by 25% percent for the hours after 8; work on Sunday increases pay by 50%, and work on a holiday by 100% (no, they don‘t stack)) — any calculation of additional pay happens on the basis of 12.41€ and not 15.22€
even more fucked up: overtime doesn‘t get paid out or amasses or anything like that. it is transformed into vouchers that can be used at the company; it‘s being advertised as ‚tax free!‘ (and since it‘s a supermarket, the argument is: well, you gotta buy groceries anyway, right?) which, of course, also means: tax free for my employer and money not paid into my retirement (haha, good one, I know) — the calculation is on the basis of 12.41€. so I‘d have to change my plans for today, work a crappy shift in a crappy job for two more hours to no not even get 25€ in the shape of a voucher to be used for my employer (so it‘s their money going from one pocket into the other)
because they‘ve only hired me for 30 hours/week, I don‘t even reach 20k/year, even with government wage subsidies social support. in the state with the highest average wage (almost 50k/year)
so let‘s recap: the work sucks ass, they stiff me on my money, overtime is less valuable than regular working hours, and I‘m still on fucking welfare. why — the fuck — would I work overtime?
„sorry boss, no can do, already got plans“ was my answer by the way

Hello
I am currently doing an internship with a structural engineering company over the summer.
I have been tasked with performing "hand calcs" to determine the reaction forces on the rivets in a liquid storage tank.
The tank has asymmetrical complex geometry, internal pressure, thermal loading, and remote loading acting on it.
When I try to use methods I have learnt in material science/Statics/mechanics of materials, I have to make too many assumptions that yield clearly inaccurate and incorrect results. When trying to incorporate the complexities, I seem to have to use FEA.
Is it even possible to do this kind of calculation without software? Or am I overcomplicating the task? I have been studying/researching/attempting for the past week and cannot come up with a proper solution.
Any advice on how to proceed/how this works would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I need a frequency meter project that captures a signal applied to the CCP module and calculates the frequency of the applied signal. Frequency and period must be viewed on a 16x2 LCD. Use the PIC16F877A in C language in MPLAB, can someone help me?
I didn't have a basis in this language, so I don't know how to do it

A long time ago, I came across a beautiful build. Bodyswap when linked with summon phantasm on kill gained the minion tag and could then be used with Null's Inclination, and for a brief, glorious window there was a flicker-esque build. I cannot for the life of me find any footage of this build or even evidence the build existed and I didn't simply dream it, but I distinctly remember seeing a ranger blast through Underground Sea with a dozen bodyswaps every second. And then another Null's Inclination build appeared: Wormblaster. Null's was hit with a hefty nerf, gaining a significant trigger cooldown. Flicker Bodyswap was killed before I ever had a chance to try it.
When the new Bodyswap of Sacrifice gem was revealed, I saw the 'minion' tag on the gem and immediately tried to recreate the build. The numbers, sadly, weren't there. Without targeting a minion, it just didn't do any damage, and I eventually gave up on using Null's altogether. The idea went on the backburner for a while, but it was still there, itching at the back of my mind. This league I resolved to make it work, and eventually struck upon the idea of Cast on Critical Strike to replace clunky on-kill triggers.
After many, many failed PoB's, I came up with something that looked viable, and a week later, I had this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4StIXUy-yw - epilepsy warning. Just a plain unjuiced T16 for demonstration purposes.
PoB: https://pobb.in/NfNRRksoikSO
Build breakdown:
This is a cast on crit Bodyswap of Sacrifice elementalist built costing approximately 120 divines, including the Mageblood. I did, however, craft many of the pieces of gear myself - in fact, the only gear piece I didn't craft is the helmet. As a result, some of the gear is a bit wonky, but this is probably my last build of the league and I'm getting the itch to play other games.
Pros:

• Good damage. PoB doesn't calculate the damage very well, because it doesn't support triggered attacks/spells triggering other attacks/spells, but with 11.5m average damage per explosion at the maximum trigger rate of 6.06 per second I believe this build has 70m pinnacle DPS, and from experience with other builds with that much damage that feels about right.
• Decently fast and low-effort one-button mapper.
• Lots of pretty explosions.
• Flicker.

Cons:

• Mediocre defenses. Not a glass cannon, but it just doesn't have the lifepool to be properly tanky.
• Quite clunky mechanically. You can see in the example video that I have almost no control over when I stop bodyswapping, and sometimes I will frostblink out of a dangerous situation only to be bodyswapped straight back in.
• Bad at some mechanics. You would think it would be good at strongboxes, but aukuna's will makes zombies count as corpses and detonate dead exists. Divine Shrines are... problematic to say the least. And good luck ever standing in Ultimatum stone circles. It is, however, superb at essences and rituals.
• Not beginner or budget friendly to gear. I've had to jump through quite a few hoops to make this work.
• Flicker.

Skills:

• The build uses two separate CoC setups, one Rain of Arrows of Saturation for Raise Zombie, the other another RoAoS triggered by Manaforged Arrows for Bodyswap of Sacrifice.
• Mark on Hit Assassin's Mark gives a bit of (unreliable) power charge generation and more consistency, and self-cast Flammability gives a nice chunk of extra damage.
• Precision is mandatory as I am already pushing the limit of how little accuracy I can get away with.
• I run Determination, Purity of Elements and Purity of Fire with Enlighten in gloves with a +1 level, +2 auras double corrupt, which gives just enough mana to run Herald of Ash for mapping and War Banner for bossing.
• CWDT Molten Shell smooths out the defences a little bit.
• I wouldn't play this build without Frostblink. Being able to instantly blink out of an awkward spot is almost mandatory.

Uniques:

• Aukuna's Will is necessary to raise zombies without a corpse.
• Dialla's Malefaction and Ashes of the Stars aren't strictly necessary, but the extra gem levels and quality in the right places give a lot of extra damage.
• I wouldn't try and build this without Mageblood as resistances and crit chance are very tight as is.
• Polaric Devastation gives a bit of extra crit and the very powerful Covered in Ash debuff.
• Melding of the Flesh, with a Ruby Flask in the Mageblood and Purity of Fire, gives - in my case - 87% max resistances. This should really be 88% but I've been too lazy to get a properly rolled one.
• I run a very specialised Elegant Hubris that cost me a bank-breaking 50 chaos. Impossible Escape is doing a lot of work here.
• Lastly, a Mindless Aggression Forbidden Flesh and Flame duo for 20% more minion life.

Passive Tree/Ascendancy:
As I cannot run golems, there's pretty much only one way to build elementalist. Mastermind of Discord/Heart of Destruction/Shaper of Storms for lots of damage, Bastion of Elements for some much-needed EHP and reflect immunity.
The passive tree is pretty basic, with one very important exception. See the note at the end.
The cluster jewels are pretty important here, there's no easy way to get enough global critical strike chance. Make sure one of the elemental damage large cluster jewels has Doryani's Lesson, and Corrosive Elements if (like me) you don't have a level 5 Awakened Fire Penetration. A 3-passive reservation cluster with Uncompromising gives just enough reservation to run everything. Clusters are a good place to pick up enough dexterity to run everything, as I take hardly any on the rest of the tree.
A note on mana:
Raise Zombie costs a lot of mana. Getting it to a reasonable mana cost to trigger repeatedly without turning off manaforged arrows was a puzzle that took a while to solve. I take a total of 56% reduced mana cost of skills on the tree, another 6% on my gear, and a level 16 (I think this could be 20, but it doesn't make any difference, really) 0 quality inspiration giving another 32% supporting RoAoS+Raise Zombie for a total of 94% reduced mana cost. The Bodyswap setup, however, runs a 20/20 inspiration which gives 39% reduced mana cost for a total of 101% reduced. This is the only way I could find to sustain mana while still have Rain of Arrows cost any amount of mana, and importantly have the bodyswap rain of arrows cost so little that it triggers with every single attack.
Conclusion:
On the whole, I built this because I could, not because I should. There's much better ways to spend 150 divines. It is, however, fun and unique. I haven't - yet - tried in in T17s or against ubers, and I don't expect it will fair well, but neither did I build it with aspirational content in mind. If anyone does choose to build this, please temper your expectations.

I've been trying to figure out the intricacies of oasis farming but I'm struggling a bit and was wondering if there was some more general advice I should be following. A few things I've noticed so far (which youre free to correct me on):

1. You can't send the hero alone, otherwise you lose hp too fast for leveling up to fix (without spending silly amounts of gold)
   
2. Even with overwhelming troop numbers you often lose too many troops to justify clearing the oasis, and the opportunity cost of losing troops is very high, especially early on (since we don't only use troops for clearing oasis but also for farming oasis and players). Even if you'd "make money" clearing the oasis, you have to consider the time taken to train the troops etc. I have settled on roughly only raiding an oasis if I stand to gain 4x what I lose, but I just can't fathom how people are raiding so much more than me currently. I tend to be making around an eigth of what the top player on the server is raiding. I am pretty active but solo on the account, however I feel bottlenecked by hero hp and number of troops more so than activity, so clearly I'm doing something suboptimally.
   

That leads us to the broad solution which is: exploit the way that the game calculates troop losses in order to minimize both troop losses and hero hp loss. From what I've read, there is a formula which calculates the percentage of troops that you lose in an attack based on the ratio between your attacking strength and the defensive strength of the troops you attack. Having done a load of simulations, it seems as though this percentage of troops rounds down. What this leads to is a situation where if you send a variety of different troops, and the percentage of troops you stand to lose doesn't equate to a whole number of troops, you won't lose any (or you will lose fewer troops than if you were to send a few extra, somewhat counterintuitively).
Just to really emphasise the point, imagine your attacking army was supposed to lose 20% of their troops based on the relative strength formula. If you only send 4 troops, you wouldn't lose any as 20% of 4 is 0.8. If you however sent 5 troops, you'd lose 1, since 20% of 5 is 1. This extends across your whole army, and so if you were to send 4 troops of every type available and the calculation was 20%, you wouldn't lose any, but if you sent 5 of each (which would change the calculation a little, though often not enough to have an effect) you'd lose 1 of each.
Naturally then, it seems that the most efficient way of raiding oasis for the troop bounty is to send just enough troops of as many different types as possible to maximise your offensive strength and reduce the amount of damage your hero takes. For some troops, this probably isnt worth doing as it takes time to train and research them early in the game and adding say 4 spearman for +40 attack is not going to make much of a difference.
Even with all of this, I am still way behind. A lot of the time, simply the damage done to the hero by oasis troops is too much to justify even with this strategy. What am I missing? One consideration is that some players are using alt accounts in order to clear an oasis to a safe level, to then losslessly raid it with their main account? Even then though, there is an extremely limited amount of troops in oasis especially early on, and there is heavy competition. It seems wasteful to take some of those resources on an alt account?
Final question - all the early high raiders seem to be huns, presumably because on average their troops have the highest attacking power and so a full spread of each troop produces the highest attacking power in order to take out oasis with minimal cost/hero dmg. What troops should I prioritize building as hun in the early game? After you have around 30 of everything, should I prioritize marksman for versatility and speed, or simply build mercs as they are the cheapest per carry capacity and therefore best for continuous micro farming? I see some people building steppe, but this just seems bad as they are extremely expensive and seem to be just straight up worse than marksman given the lack of defensive capability for similiar cost/ speed/carry (and usually those I see building steppe are just random 300 pop villages who clearly arent that competetive)
Sorry this is so long. TLDR: how do I get better at raiding in the early days of server.

I'm reaching out because I'm looking for some validation for this idea I've been building a proof of concept of.
A little about me to set some context, I, along with my roommates, make free cycling related tools in our spare time, including a routing tool, https://sherpa-map.com, a physics simulator tool for cycling, https://sherpa-map.com/cycling-route-calculator.html, and a GPX activity racer tool https://sherpa-map.com/activity-racer.html .
I've made a few others as well, but this post isn't about that, I just wanted to showcase the fact that I can build the upcoming idea, but I'm wondering if it would be worth it to develop it for anyone else.
The idea:
A phone app that lets users import a route GPX file and/or start an activity. The app is designed to work entirely offline, in your pocket, without much of a GUI, providing voiced turn-by-turn directions if following a route.
While you are riding, it allows you to ask questions or give commands into your Bluetooth headset, like, "What's the distance until the next aid station?", "Route me back to the beginning on the flattest possible route.", "What's my best 20-minute normalized power so far?", "What's my current distance?", "What's my net elevation gain?", "What mile has the beginning of the biggest climb on the route?".
Utilizing the physics simulator code and your riding so far, it could even determine when you'll be where, so you can ask, "How much longer until I'm back on pavement?", "When should I start heading back to avoid the sun going down when cycling?".
I also plan on having it continuously monitor and analyze your ride, so if you finish a climb it can recognize this and state "Nice job! You managed 340 watts for 3 minutes up the last 300ft climb!".
Basically, the idea is, that this could replace your head unit (or accompany it nicely).
I even intend it to have rerouting capabilities, i.e. "take me to the nearest gas station".
So far, I've managed to develop a functioning Android app that works entirely offline, monitoring for speech using webRTCVAD, recording speech to memory, transcribing speech using a specially trained Mozilla Deepspeech model, on the phone, tokenizing the transcription with a WordPeice algorithm, and feeding it to a specially trained BERT Tensorflow model which maps your intent to a particular function.
I plan on developing this app no matter what for my purposes as I feel having practically limitless knowledge of the entire route, and the activity thus far, as well as voiced turn-by-turn directions that function entirely offline could help me with upcoming gravel races. However, if people find this concept interesting, I'd buy a MacBook to make an IOS version and flesh out the interface to be more user-friendly and have things like, a login, a connect with Strava feature, etc.

so I've had this problem for about 3 weeks now , it started when I was playing Helldivers 2 and the audio randomly started stuttering and lagging like hell, I didn't really care bc it was pretty rare and not that bad, but at some point it just started affecting other games and just about anything.
I tried to look around and fix it and have tried several tips and tricks to get rid of it (I use a laptop btw): -disabling the Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller driver (helped a lot after this it stopped stuttering at all times) -followed everything here https://www.reddit.com/techsupport/comments/13avw59/fix_for_high_dpc_latency_wdf01000_ntoskrnl/ -tried this too
View: https://youtu.be/2KUz8J8PRSI
-tried this
View: https://youtu.be/S8pmiwLfMlg
-Disabling the WLAN driver does not do much plus I need it so can't get rid of that -disabling high precision event timer (kinda did nothing idk) -The Bios is already up to date (it was that way when I checked) -I didn't mess around in Bios yet if that matters -chipset driver is already up to date -I even tried the whole Interrupt Affinity Policy Tool, but that only made my computer worse so I just reverted back to normal
I also use Voicemeeter Potato which I noticed that it does increase latency a bit but it's not the core problem as I still get stuttering even without it running.
So at this point there's no stuttering when using the computer for normal things YT etc but once I start playing a game no matter how performance heavy it is the stuttering will happen at some point.

Dear Forza Horizon players, steering wheel players are faster than controller players. After hearing that, controller players will think there are very few steering wheel players. Steering wheel players will either think I’m lying or they’ll think that they’re just bad at playing with a steering wheel. It really all comes down to the tune. There are much more controller players than steering wheel players, so every tune that’s made favors controller players. It’s hard to find a good tune for a steering wheel that’s faster than a tune for a controller. If you don’t believe me or want to know why I’m saying what I’m saying, read this next paragraph. If you want me to quit yapping, skip this next paragraph.
There is an argument about ABS and TC slowing you down because it gives you less engine and braking power, but what I’m talking about is a lot bigger than that difference. Controller players hardly get any steering control over their car. They use a joystick that moves about a quarter of an inch to half an inch on each side. This means pretty much the only decision controller players have is no turning or maximum turning angle. Maximum steering angle slides the tires, making the car slow down. Good controller tunes are made to counter this. They have soft suspension, soft rebound and bump stiffness, and soft anti-roll bars. When the player turns the steering wheel to max steering angle immediately, they still get a normal amount of grip for a short time. They get the grip until the car body rolls to the side completely. This is why they spam the joystick a bunch of times in the direction they want to turn. It acts as its own traction control while turning. However, soft suspension is very bad for steering wheel players. You have to trail brake too much to keep the car stable through the corner. Having stiffer suspension, rebound and bump stiffness, and anti-roll bars, the car can be thrown around more. It becomes more like a race car, where the car doesn’t have to be stabilized as much.
I’m not that experienced of a tuner or driver, but after finding this out, I created my own tunes and have been doing very well. For the trial for this week, MX-5 Drive, I have created a tune for every single car that can be used for the trial. My best attempt at the first race of the trial, even with a couple mistakes, ended with a time of 04:22.831 with the 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5. I think it’s a decently impressive time, and it made all my teammates DNF. I have posted all of my tunes for each car as “Trial” and it’s under the name FauxGrunt652159. The good tune for the Mazdaspeed was posted on 5/19/2024. You can either use my name to search for tunes or you can follow my Xbox account, FauxGrunt652159, so that they show up first when searching for tunes. I can’t promise I’ll make a bunch of tunes for upcoming trials. If I get some attention from this post, I’ll start making a lot. Steering wheel players, I encourage you to try this out. Let me know if I’m right or wrong.

Hi All,
I have the following ray marching scene:
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/XXc3Wn
I notice that when the height of the boxes is dynamic (here I am using and random function for the example but could be other types of calculation) some weird glitch start appending on the box SDF.
I've tried to make smaller steps in the Raymarching loop, that does improve things but I can never get rid of it 100% without seriously impacting performances.
Any ideas on what might be going on ?
Thanks a tone

I've launched the very first mathematical web application with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) capable of calculating Christoffel Symbols (both first and second kinds) and associated Tensors (Riemann, Ricci, and Einstein) in a matter of just a few seconds!
I'm hopeful this application will be used by students, professors, or really anyone interested in astrophysics and/or math to practice and experiment with different space-time models.I would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions, feedback, or criticism.

You've probably seen this problem before (the 1D case): a drunk man is standing on the edge of a cliff, he has a p probability of walking left (off the edge) or taking a step right away from the edge by probability (1-p). What is his chance of escape?
When I first saw this question I immediately wanted to prove the probability of survival, and my go to was a recursive form. Unfortunately, I couldn't derive one without an infinite series that wasn't clear to me.
So I searched up proofs. And every single one starts with calculating the absorption rate (the probability of walking off the edge) and then using its complement for survival.
Although I get why that's acceptable, my curiosity bothers me in not knowing how we would prove it from the other end (starting by calculating the probability of surviving directly) and if it's even possible.
Anyone have any ideas?

I used to think I was disordered but lately I just feel like I'm doing a science experiment.
Like I'm eating >! 600!< kcals/day and now I've started fasting as well.
And I really like the number aspect of restricting. Counting and calculating just makes me happy. And I guess I'm just seeing how quickly I can lose weight until I reach my gw. My gw is only slightly uw (>! 17.1!<) so I really don't think it's an issue. And that if I was actually disordered it would be lower?
I really feel like I'm not disordered now (def was like 2 years ago tho).
I would really like y'alls opinions on this.

Is there a way to easily estimate the total expected tornados in a given area using the SPC probabilities?
I am wondering if the SPC provides the area of the different probability zones (total area of the 15%, 10%, 5%, etc.) to be able to estimate the total expected tornados. I understand there is an X% chance of a tornado within 25 miles of a given point, but I want to be able to convert that to X amount of expected tornados in the given probability zone. Maybe there is already resource that calculates this?
