2024.05.19 11:56 unknown_user162 1988 f150 fuel gauge bouncing
I’m having trouble with my 1988 Ford F150.. When I start my vehicle the fuel gauge begins to bounce all over. This includes turning the key until the power turns on, but before the engine runs. It changes depending on how fast I’m going, how much gas I’m using, etc. It only does this for my rear tank however, the front one acts fine, which makes me think it has more to do with that tank, possibly the fuel pump or the sending unit. Anyone have more knowledge on this topic and might be able go help me? If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Here’s a video of what’s happening: https://youtube.com/shorts/U7ZCYnIcouY?si=KKbNxAoHsRlbb4fJ

2024.05.19 11:48 Able-Plantain-926 Solchat broke out downtrend Looks ready for a bull run to over 10x Price Increase
Solchat is one of the few great utility projects Solana
$CHAT has huge potential and it will go very hard imo. Market is in uptrend now.
ATH is still a 4x away.... and SolChat is going well beyond there imo
The suite of wallet-to-wallet communication features they are providing and the fact that they have announced they will be providing a free SDK for other projects to integrate, CHAT is destined for success.
Staking and revshare Will be game changer for $CHAT holders and token price.
The revue model requires users to buy and hold, so the price is a ticking time bomb that will eventually see an exponential boom as adoption comes.
.
Big rumored partnerships with helium mobile and Phantom, and a basically confirmed partnership with Solana Mobile SAGA 2 which will onboard 100k + users automatically.
If there’s any question about adoption, this dApp is likely going to be pre-installed in saga mobile 2 which has 120,000 preorders.
.
The dev keeps building and listening to community. Supply is super low on the $CHAT token, and premium features for holders coming.
About SolChat:
Solana's communication protocol for both text, audio and video.
Solchat is a user-friendly protocol that allows users to communicate from wallet to wallet or between multiple wallets.

2024.05.19 11:48 Nancy48236 Trailmaster Milano 50 N 50cc scooter review
 | Ordering a scooter online is a bit of a risky adventure, especially when you review the terms and conditions and the return policy. But, you have to agree to it in able to place the order. Less risky is buying at a dealer, but you pay a significant premium for the product. I've read horror stories online about folks receiving junk and even non-operating scooters. That is a possiblity, and with the terms to which you agree, very risky. submitted by Nancy48236 to scooters [link] [comments] We were lucky, though, with Family Go Carts (FGK) and the Trailmaster Milano N 50cc scooters. I ordered, online, two Trailmaster Milano N 50cc scooters from FGK - one for me, one for my husband - on May 1,2024. We received the scooters on 5/18/2024. Considering US shipping demand, that is a reasonable time to delivery. The lady at FGK who called me to coordinate the delivery was kind, and gave instructions on how to receive and prepare for the first run (ie. Change oil - upon arrival, the engine has shipping oil in it). Shipping: "Free", but you have to pay access fee and lift-gate fee. Not too bad considering how shipping rates have skyrocketed in the last few years. She asked for our second choice in colors. Thankfully, we got our first choice - light blue and white for me and black and white for my husband. Unpackaging: Remove cardboard (there's no bottom to the cardboard). Just cut down the cardboard at any one of the corners, then walk around the steel skeleton shipping cage. Then you'll take off the top of the steel shipping skeleton. Undo all bolts and nuts on the bottom. You'll a;sp have to undo the two bolts on the top that attack the steering column fork to the steel cage. Then, just tip off the cage on one end, and continue tipping it off to the other end. Assembly: No instructions for it. Some assembly is a no-brainer, but the handlebars and front wheel require explanation. Thankfully, someone posted a video on the assembly of Trailmaster Milano: https://youtu.be/rMyJEkH3b4U?si=VRcDlm2-jIvNNGfC , I couldn't have done it without that video. Handlebar assembly: First, just get the bolt in - front to back, with the curvey part of the washer against the column and between the column and the bolt head. Notice you can't get to the nut on the backside (unless you have 6" fingers of a contortionist). Don't worry like I did. Get the bolt in, assemble the front wheel, then come back the the handlebar column. Turn the bars far to one side. Now you can reach the backside of the bolt and add the nut. We added blue Loctite to the axle and the steering column/handlebar threads for the nuts. Make sure you connect the blinkers. Trial and error to get left blinker coordinating with left blinker connector. Two trials if unlucky - not too bad. You'll still have one bod-based connector without a mate. Again, don't worry like I did - that's for the headlight. You'll assemble that later. Front wheel assembly: The front wheel assembly is best with two people. First goal is to get the scooter out of the steel shipping skeleton and on flat ground so you can support the scooter on its center stand. Get the scooter out of the steel shipping skeleton. This will require some muscle and two persons. Remove the front axle bolt that holds the scooter to the bottom part of the steel shipping skeleton. One straddles the scooter while keeping the front lifted up)shaking up and down) while the other removes the bolt axle. Once the bolt axle is removed, with muscles, one straddles the scooter while keeping the front lifted up and carefully walking through the steel cage bottom while the other person pushes from behind. Then, get the scooter center stand down so the scooter rests on that on flat, solid ground. We ended up balancing the frame of the scooter on a block of wood, then putting the center stand down. Now, work on the front wheel. Slip the silver, stainless axle bolt spacer into the wheel's disc side. It's frustrating getting the wheel on because you have to get the brake disc lined up with the brake pads (remove the pad spacer put in for shipping and toss it) and the speedometer on the other side correctly lined up with the wheel and fork, ALL that simultaneously while getting it lined up to insert the axle. Fun times! You may end up with assembly partners snapping at each other and swearing - a lot. Persistence and patience and it will get done. Add blue Loctite for final tightening on the axle nut. Oil change: Drain out all the shipping oil. There's a lot in there. After draining, we added about two cups of 15W40. Headlight and front cowl assembly: Connect the headlight to the body's headlight connector. Use the included zip ties to secure all the wires out of the way and neatly, without putting too much strain on any connections. Make sure you put the U-shaped, color matched plastic cover (in horizontal plane) separating the handlebars speedometer instruments from the front cowl. Snap it into the tabs. THEN, attach the front headlight cowl to the body. Don't do like I did - get the headlight front cowl section on then try to snap in the cover. I had to remove the headlight front cowl, snap in the color-matched cover, then re-attach the front headlight cowl. Topcase/trunk: Best with two persons, but can be done with one. Big enough for a half helmet, gloves, goggles, wallet, and other little things. Looks good on the scooter, too. Battery installation: This can be tricky. You have to have a sqare nut below the terminal screw. If you put the battery in the scooter and try to get those nuts under the terminal, you won't be able to do it. If you just try to balance the square nuts on the battery while dropping the batter into the scooter's battery compartment, the square nuts fall off. We then secured the nuts to the batter with the terminal screw only half-turned. Then drop the battery in and complete connections. First, connect the black, then connect the red. The batteries we received were fully charged. Moment of truth: Put premium gas in the tank. Since the carburetor is empty, you'll have to let the starter work a bit to get gas flowing into the engine. Didn't even take three minutes. Started right up. Whew. Let it run for a while. One sees many horror stories about buying Chinese scooters online from dealers. And, those stories are bad. As I said above, you have to agree to the terms and conditions before you can buy. Those terms and conditions put all the risk on the buyer, not the dealer. So, know what you're getting into. But, thankfully, FGK did well. We received both Trailmaster Milano N 50 scooters in a timely manner, without damage, and the scooters fired up right away. Good idle speed and it sounds like the aifuel mix is spot on. Finally, registration of your scooter in your state: My state, Virginia, requires registration of 50cc scooters so you can display a license tag on the back. To register, you need a title. You don't get a title from this dealer. But, you get enough documentation from the dealer (manufacturer's transper document, invoice, bill of lading) where you can fill out an easy affidavit for title. Get it notarized and submit with your title application and registration. Pretty easy and far easier and quicker than waiting for the dealer to do it for you, IF the dealer is willing to do it for you, that is. I didn't even ask FGK for a title transfer document, so I can't comment on their responsiveness to such a request. I did the easy work-around at the DMV. So far, so good. I've gotten it up to 32 MPH (speedo reading, not GPS-confirmed), and that wasn't at full throttle. I'm still being careful with getting to full throttle until the engine has a bit of time to break in. I am aware that we will have to wrench these scooters from time to time. Thanks to so many videos available online about how to work on the 139QMB GY6 50cc engines, I think we can do this. https://preview.redd.it/unip4ckjuc1d1.jpg?width=1131&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc52d30b7d9f3a0a8c1348588a3803a1ffd73faa https://preview.redd.it/m8koy9mkuc1d1.jpg?width=450&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7f8fe30c91245f238c8793bf3c2d1ee77e41285 https://preview.redd.it/ldyeq1fluc1d1.jpg?width=450&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ac9ccb34732b0eab4cc1d8532b713da65f62c80 |
2024.05.19 11:47 cuBLea "Dark" MR: Memory Reconsolidation for Fun, Profit, and Psychosocial Manipulation (partial essay)
NOTE: I drafted this before reddit slashed its allowable post size and decided it was unpublishable at that point. A friend strongly recommended I post whatever reddit will allow and if people wanted to see more, I could post more of it. So here's the first segment of it.
Therapeutic memory reconsolidation has a dark side. It's not something typically discussed outside of the coffee rooms of the lab-rat and clinical-practices sets, where the tedium of the current work occasionally gives rise to darkly humorous dystopian speculations.
This dark side is not simply the stuff of mad-science speculation and dark fantasy. In fact, its existence predates even the discovery of the MR process itself. And it has already resulted in mild-to-catastrophic negative consequences for hundreds of thousands of people. (Depending on your perspective, it's conceivable that the current victim count could be in the tens or even hundreds of millions ... we're notorious for undercounting casualties of previously-unrecognized catastrophes. Fair disclosure: I'm one of those casualties.) It's an aspect of MR that I believe is worth knowing about for anyone seeking to exploit MR in therapy either as a practitioner or as a client.
For almost as long as the transformation (i.e. MR) phenomenon has been recognized, there have been tales of sordid applications of this effect. Religious sects, particularly the charismatic ones, have been exploiting the MR phenomenon for thousands of years, typically labeling it as either divine healing or proof of faith. Not that the results aren't beneficial for the individual. In most cases they are. But reconsolidation is only a part of the whole process of restoring health to old psychic wounds. The inducement of therapeutic MR in an individual not ready for the experience can be among the most brutal tortures imaginable, but most of the harm that comes from misapplication of the MR phenomenon can be traced to opportunistic exploitation of the setup for, and aftermath of, the transformational experience, and it's my belief that most of this harm is done by individuals and/or groups with little or no sense of the risks involved in
Keith Raniere's NXIVM organization is probably the most widely-known example of a cult founded largely on a MR-consistent methodology bent to less-than-humane ends. It made national news for years in Canada based on allegations of financial wrongdoing and sexual scandals, its leader was indicted in the US in 2018 and was sentenced to 120 years, and in 2020, not one but *two* major exposé miniseries/docuseries aired on streaming services.
"The Vow" (Mark Vicente's story)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vow_(TV_series))
Vicente's series orients around his involvement in the growth and promotion of NXIVM, and isn't afraid to get into the weeds around how Raniere strategized and developed the organization's techniques and tactics.
"Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult" (India Oxenberg's story)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seduced:_Inside_the_NXIVM_Cult
This series centers more around IO's personal journey with the cult, and the people who were caught up in its darkest aspects.
"The Vow", first to be released, was not a fun watch for me. Thirty years prior to this, I had been ensnared by another cult, closely affiliated with the Unity Church of Today in Warren, MI at that time. Both of these cults exploited phenomena surrounding therapeutic memory consolidation as their primary lures years before we even knew that MR had a scientific footing.
The two organizations had shockingly similar modi operandi. So similar, in fact, that I still suspect that NXIVM's founder might have gotten much of his basic training from CoT's Pavillon resort in Quebec, whose month-long "therapeutic retreat" programs were a clever and completely unabashed cult indoctrination program. Ok ... well ... nearly completely unabashed ... during the month that I attended, we were only told that we were being groomed for the cult on the third-to-last day, by which time they surely knew who was ripe for the picking and who wouldn't be swayed, and were pretty confident of no open objection to such an announcement.
I want to make clear that this is not a word of exaggeration. The head of the "clinic" literally told us that if it felt to any of us like we were being recruited for a cult, he assured us that yes, we were. Nobody gasped, nobody even giggled. And as if to prove that this wasn't just dark humor, the director assured us that it was all fair play on their part since his was "the only cult that matters". That is exactly how confident Pavillon were of their methods. (Or at least they were in mid-1989 ... Pavillon appears to have vanished in the mists of history. Not every great cult idea grows up to make it to the big leagues.)
Neither "Seduced" or "The Vow" actually get under the hood and explain the psychology underlying the cult's success, let alone in context of therapeutic memory reconsolidation. In fact, I'm pretty sure that MR was never mentioned in either series. But right from the introductory/demo sessions presented in the first episode of "The Vow", most readers of this sub will instantly recognize that NXIVM leveraged the benefits and relative simplicity of MR-consistent transformational therapies to capture the attention, loyalty, and ultimately the wealth of prospective cult members.
But that's not nearly enough to lead us to a real understanding of how this happens. If either of these series' had been able to achieve that, this post could effctively end here. It's my belief that those of us who are consumers of MR-consistent services, or who work with consumers, do need this understanding. When the mechanics of the seduction are understood, it doesn't just help us to identify how malignant influences were brought to bear on potential victims, or provide us with a degree of immunity from those influences. It can also help us to better identify and relate to individuals who may be particularly vulnerable to these influences, and not just in therapy cults, but in all cult-like cultural groups, and get a better sense of how we can best communicate with people living under less-than-virtuous influence.
Fortunately, it doesn't appear to be all that difficult to acquire this understanding. Simply knowing basic MR theory and therapeutic application takes you halfway to mastery in a world still largely ignorant of how transformative change works. And the successes of Pavillon and NXIVM, coming as they did well before the general public even knew that MR was a "thing", pretty much proves it. But solving the remainder of the problem appears to involve first understanding how the application of MR-consistent methods could lead to cult exploitation in the first place.
MR-consistent transformational phenomena were relatively common knowledge back as far as the early 1980s in new-age/psychotherapy circles, and were even well-understood by certain inner-circle dwellers. And it was clear at least a decade earlier that certain disciplines practiced in a certain way were capable of producing remarkable therapeutic effects, even if no one could quite explain how or why. All Raniere and Pavillon needed to do was to refine techniques already known to be highly effective and they could reproduce those results. Which is exactly what happened, and this gave these two groups a powerful enticement, or a free sample product if you prefer, for people interested in living better, happier lives. Whatever else they did that we would likely view as objectionable or even evil, they both figured out how to get people to transformational moments in ways which were a lot easier than Erhard Seminars Training (EST), more efficient than religious or mystical practices (Transcendental Meditation, kundalini yoga, visionquesting, etc.), and less exclusive/expensive than a stay at Esalen or a year or two of the "talking cure".
So whatever we may think/feel about their methods, credit where due: they knew a good thing when they saw it and they got the transformational part right. So how did techniques which we rely upon to free us from exploitation by our own nervous systems become tools for THEIR exploitation? On the surface it seems like using MR to coerce and enslave people makes about as silly as trying to poison someone with multivitamins. But there's a clever logic to it, and to understand this we need to look beyond the bounds of MR and the transformational phenomenon, and at how the entire transformation process is managed. (And there's the operative word: managed, not facilitated.
We know MR as the process that underlies transformation. But transformation isn't healing, but only a subprocess within a greater restoration process. Healing doesn't usually even end the process, either. Following transformation, stress must be managed until the subject's next full sleep cycle or treatment efficacy is substantially impaired. Even beyond that, the structure of post-traumatic adaptation leaves the individual vulnerable to retraumatization in the wake of treatment, meaning that in perhaps a majority of cases, the triggers which activate PTS symptoms need to be kept to a

You can literally hard carry CT side easily by doing this because no matter how much you punish them, silvers never learn and they will keep rushing mid every round. After you get your kills or if nobody is mid, just silent drop down the ladder and sneak up behind them while they're going A.

2024.05.19 11:43 Remarkable_Tomato170 Smoking is Awesome
 | Ironic title but great little video on smoking , the good the bad and the ugly ! Helps me get my motivation going when I need a reminder. Nearly 14 days vape free, so early days still. This group has been such a big help for me so thank you all - hope this video helps you too submitted by Remarkable_Tomato170 to QuitVaping [link] [comments] |
2024.05.19 11:41 criscaspi29 Passed at 150, still processing.
Cleared CISSP today after 4 weeks of on and off preparation. Had to answer 150 questions with 45 mins remaining. After reading this subreddit and hearing people insist no mock/practice is close to the real test, I decided to keep it minimum when it comes to resources.
Materials used:
One thing that helped me: I cleared the CC by ISC2 last December (it was free of cost that time). So I guessed how grueling this is going to be, specifically the way ISC2 questions are worded. Also, it was the same exam center and same processing, familiarity helped in all ways.
When people say they thought they were failing during the exam: I understand what you meant.
Overall, the exam is made to be cruel however do not lose hope. All the best to those preparing and shout out to everyone that cleared at 125/100.
Experience: 4 years in IAM and 2 years as GRC.

I've just passed out from 12th with science (PCM) and I am interested in Law that's why i want to do CLAT, but idk where to start, what to study as I heard a lot of people saying 6 months enough for prep and you can also do it with self study, so that's why i'm also thinking to give it a try but i just don't want to give economic burden to my parents so I'm searching for a good guidance and also some sources from where i can get study materials like Video Courses and Mocks for free or at minimal cost!

2024.05.19 11:26 lain1900 Beginner: changing golf instructor after few months
Hi golf community, I am a beginner (~6 months in the game) and I am thinking to change golf instructor. I wanted to understand how to spot a good golf instructor since I am not convinced with the pro I am working with, and I don't want to go back to find myself in the same situation. Long story short, I started playing golf mid November. Went to the nearest club, hired a golf instructor and taking lessons once a week. Lessons are 30 min long, and basically they do not follow any program. I hit 70/90 balls that seems to be a huge amount, he gives me little suggestions which seems to be very generic after a while and I don't get drills/homework to practice alone. Short game lessons are something like "oh you need to place the ball there and brush the grass". By playing the local par 3 course I realized how I didn't know how to hit the ball considering the various distances, how the club face was affecting the shot, and again how I could practice this alone. I went ahead and bought the Pelz book, might be old, but gave me some ah-ah moments that I could bring back to the course. Putting lesson was basically how to grip the putter, no green reading, no aiming no strength control. The guy gets pissed when I use golf terms ("oh this is a weak grip", "this is a bump and run"). Doesn't use videos, does not explaining sequencing just hitting balls. Also, he does not have TPI training nor he uses technology (saying is not useful), having a free TPI screening coupon as a benefit at work I was interested to see if I could work with that. My swing is not that bad, I can hit decent distances. Some times I get anxious and misshit, but that's probably on me. But I feel I did most of the improvements alone or following advice of friend or club member that helped me. I also have a decent driver swing, I think because I am pretty tall and fairly athletic. I met some people at the club, everyone seems to suggest a certain Pro, which has a different approach on explaining the technicality of the swing, using videos, has TPI certification, etc.. My question is, is it me that is not grasping his style or the guy is a bad instructor?

2024.05.19 11:24 Sad_Invite5203 19 [M4F] #Italy #Europe #Online Romantic and Passionate Seeking my Soulmate for Genuine Relationship
Hi there, I'm Lore, a 19yo male from Italy, monogamous and currently single, looking for a partner.
I'm primarily seeking an online connection for now (at first) but I want to transition to an in-person relationship/meet ups if the right person comes along. I value loyalty, honesty, and having a genuine interest in building a strong and long term thing. Trust, mutual respect, communication, maturity are all very important to me.
I'm happy to verify, trade pics/vids, voice messages and do calls once we vibe and feel comfortable with each other.
I’m an healthy hopeless romantic and caring person, confident and adventurous, a mix of passion, support, and the right amount of fun!
Physically I'm athletic/slim, I’m about 170 cm with brown eyes and brown hair.
I have a wide and colorful range of interests, starting from being a competitive table tennis player to spending time with loved ones relaxing together, and self care. I also love to read books, study, exercise, cook, enjoy art, play games (video, tabletop, trivia), watch films/series (recently I saw Inception and Euphoria) and music (I’m an huge addicted, you’ve been warned!), I love nature hikes and outside activities. I have a weakness for animals!
Currently in my final year of school, with plans to attend medicine university and pursue a career as a doctor but I’m also thinking about psychology, I love to help and take care of people! I’m goal-oriented and passionate about what I do. Sometimes I can have a bit busy schedule but I’m ready and willing to dedicate my time knowing each other creating something special. :)
The person that I’m looking for is someone who shares my values and mentality, my hearth needs someone with whom I can develop a deep emotional and intellectual connection! Distance (would be better in Europe but it’s not a strict requirement), age (it’s just a number c’mon) and physical appearance are not barriers for me, personality is key! I'm seeking someone special to spend with time with, growing and experiencing new things together.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for feel free to reach out with a message telling me something about you! No Hi/Hey messages please, I have put effort in this, making a similar effort in your response would be appreciated.
I understand reaching out can feel intimidating, but please know your message is always welcomed and valued. <3

2024.05.19 11:19 sadghostiechan This app actually makes me so happy
I’ve had finch for a few months now and honestly when i first got it i was a little embarrassed to even say i downloaded it. (I’m working through a lot of mental stuff okay? lol. Hopefully soon I’ll be seeing a mental health specialist 🤣)
I’ve told a few of my close people about it though because you guys this app has been so helpful! One time i was besting myself up over my dentist being closed when they shouldn’t have been so i went to the app to try to feel better. I ended up BAWLING MY EYES OUT but it was in a good way if ya know what i mean 🥹 i needed to let that cry out and the app really made me think about why i was even so upset in the first place.
I sent my fiancé an invite and asked him to download the app so i could get rainbow stones and other goodies. Told him he didn’t have to actually use it, i just wanted the free stuff. Well guess what yall? I created a finchy monster!! Again in a good way 🤣 he is so into it and i think it’s gonna help him a lot too. It’s also so fun seeing him be so into it and being able to talk to him about it. He gets super excited about all the little things the app has to offer and it might actually be the cutest thing ever 🥹🥰 i think it could even help our relationship become even more wonderful than it already is.
Anyways yeah, i just wanted to talk about how much i freaking love this app. Shout out to the people behind it because i feel like it’s almost a lil video game that is actually productive and i don’t have to feel guilty for being so into it!! Keep finchin yall!

I've been using it for capturing the nuances of my acoustic guitar, snare drum, and piano, and it never fails to impress me with its high sensitivity and extended smooth response. The microphone's sturdy turned-brass housing and internal shockmount ensure that it can withstand even the toughest recording sessions. I also appreciate the fact that it comes with a microphone clip, foam windscreen, and a zipper pouch, making it easy to transport safely. One of the standout features of this microphone is its transformerless design, which minimizes self-noise. This has allowed me to capture even the subtlest details of my performances without any unwanted background noise. Additionally, the microphone requires 48V phantom power, so it's compatible with most professional mixing boards. However, there have been a few downsides to using this microphone. For instance, I found that it can sometimes be overly sensitive to certain sound sources, making it difficult to achieve the perfect balance in my recordings. Additionally, the microphone's construction, while sturdy, may not be able to withstand the rigors of constant touring or frequent use in a live environment. Overall, I would highly recommend the Nady CM 90 Cardioid Condenser Mic to anyone looking to capture high-quality audio recordings. Its versatile design, rugged construction, and impressive performance make it a great addition to any recording studio or live sound setup.

As a podcast enthusiast, I was on the hunt for a quality microphone that wouldn't break the bank. This microphone has exceeded my expectations by far! The voice isolation technology is the standout feature for me - it makes my voice sound so clear and pure, perfect for my podcasting needs. Setting it up was a breeze thanks to the plug and play compatibility, working seamlessly with my audio interface and mixer. The build quality is premium, giving me confidence that this microphone will last me for a long time. However, I would've liked if it included some free lessons or software, but that's a minor inconvenience. All in all, this microphone has enhanced my voice and has given my podcasting career a much-needed boost. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable XLR dynamic microphone. 🔗Unidirectional Condenser Microphone Bundles for Studio Recording and Podcastinghttps://preview.redd.it/65j6e8pqoc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f0d24417d875b670a641689654d855d4a3d8f6c I recently purchased the Zingyou Condenser Microphone Bundle for my home studio setup, and I must say it has truly exceeded my expectations. I was initially drawn to its user-friendly design, which includes an informative assembly video and easy-to-follow instructions. In terms of performance, this microphone delivers excellent sound quality, capturing even the most subtle nuances of my vocals. The build quality is impressive as well, with a sturdy body that feels like it can withstand daily use without issue. One of the standout features of this microphone is its ease of use. Within minutes of unboxing, I had the entire bundle assembled and ready to go. Furthermore, the size and flexibility of the stand make it easy to position the microphone wherever needed, making it perfect for various recording scenarios. Overall, I believe the Zingyou Condenser Microphone Bundle offers exceptional value for its price, providing professional-grade sound quality and durability without breaking the bank. However, there are a few minor drawbacks worth mentioning. Firstly, some users have reported issues with the sound card not working properly, though I personally have not experienced this issue.

In conclusion, the Zingyou Condenser Microphone Bundle is a fantastic choice for amateur and professional recording enthusiasts alike. With its affordable price point, top-notch sound quality, and user-friendly design, this product offers incredible value for its cost. So why not give it a shot and see how it can elevate your recording projects? 🔗AKG C414 XLII/ST Stereo Matched Pair Microphoneshttps://preview.redd.it/sc9u184roc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e344495379a587088ceb09d35c96c15a1e63908 I've been using the AKG C414 XLII/ST Stereo Matched Pair for a while now, and I must say, it's a game-changer in my home studio. This pair of condenser microphones has a knack for capturing high-fidelity audio, making my recordings sound much more dynamic. One of the standout features of these microphones is their ability to switch between nine polar patterns. This flexibility allows me to tailor the sound capture for different applications, ranging from vocals to acoustic instruments like guitars or even percussion. The peak hold LED display is also incredibly useful, helping me avoid nasty overload peaks during live performances. The C414 XLII version stands out from its sibling, the C414 XLS, mainly because of its unique capsule design. This design gives the mic a slightly brighter sound compared to the XLS, while also offering impressive spatial reproduction that's reminiscent of the legendary AKG C12 microphone from 1953. On the downside, I've noticed that the C414 XLII can be quite sensitive to noise from surrounding sources, such as air conditioning systems. However, the built-in filter helps mitigate this issue, ensuring that my recordings remain clean and free of unwanted interference. Overall, I've been extremely impressed with the AKG C414 XLII/ST Stereo Matched Pair. It's a versatile, high-quality microphone that has made a significant difference in the quality of my recordings. While it may be a bit pricey, I believe it's a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about capturing professional-sounding audio. 🔗PreSonus PM-2 Matched Pair Cardioid Condenser Microphoneshttps://preview.redd.it/qpxp7gfroc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6278ddb6105dfc0b988ac6239c627666c67775f As a reviewer who's been using the PreSonus PM-2 microphones in my little home studio, I can't help but rave about them. These cardioid condenser mics are a gem, offering a surprising level of clarity and versatility for a budget-friendly price. One of the things that stood out to me was their ability to capture even the most subtle nuances of the acoustic guitar. The cardioid pattern helps deliver an amplified input audio, making it perfect for recording a range of instruments and ensembles. The golden touch doesn't stop there. The gold-sputtered capsule ensures enhanced conductivity, enabling efficient signal transmission. And did I mention how light they are? The ultra-light chassis makes them incredibly easy to handle and convenient to use. However, as with any product, there are some cons. Some users have reported issues of durability, with one microphone stopping working after just six hours of use. While this is a concern, it's important to note that these are budget-friendly mics and may not withstand the same level of abuse as higher-priced models. Overall, I'd say the PreSonus PM-2 microphones are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to create detailed recordings in a studio setting. They offer great sound quality, especially when used in stereo mode. The build quality might not be top-notch, but the value they provide more than makes up for it. So, if you're on the hunt for affordable, high-quality mics, give these a try. 🔗Top-Ranking Karaoke Dynamic Mic with Shielded Cablehttps://preview.redd.it/yggyjzsroc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b765ec15f5f3acc76725d974a3f559d2c708f40 I recently purchased the 5 Core Karaoke Singing Wired Mic, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! As a frequent performer at weddings and conferences, I needed a reliable microphone that captured my voice perfectly without any background noise interference. The unidirectional Cardioid Pickup Pattern on this microphone did just that, enhancing my performances and keeping the focus on my voice. One of the highlights of this microphone is its sturdy build. The steel mesh windscreen and anti-dent ring make it incredibly durable, while its professional XLR connector ensures seamless compatibility with all PA systems. I also appreciated the brilliant and transparent sound quality it delivers, thanks to its ultra-wide frequency response and built-in Pop filter & windscreen. On the flip side, the 5 Core Karaoke Singing Wired Mic might not be the best option for those who prefer a wireless microphone. Additionally, the lack of an on/off switch may be inconvenient for some users. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the 5 Core Karaoke Singing Wired Mic. Its combination of performance, durability, and versatility make it an excellent choice for any singer or performer looking to enhance their live performances. If you're in the market for a reliable microphone that won't let you down, I highly recommend giving this one a try! https://preview.redd.it/4300n0esoc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a3b4c5a8c34e693cde2efcc520e29b14602f005 Buyer's Guidehttps://preview.redd.it/kzn2o1lsoc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d73abb828c4fe25c4284c48ac4824f9f22b23f02 Important Features of Cardioid MicrophonesCardioid microphones are an essential tool for any recording setup, both in professional and home-studio environments.

This feature makes cardioid microphones particularly useful for reducing unwanted noise and echoes. Here are some important features to consider when looking for a cardioid microphone:

2024.05.19 11:14 CalmStorage1519 Just past my first week of nothing happening
Long story short: Tinder > IG > WA
A less than 1 minute videocall was had with never a frame of my face in the same shot as my lower body. Both her WA number and the scammers number were phillipene (+63). Once I saw the notifications of the threat coming in from that second number, I didn't even open it and blocked and reported them both. I didn't pay a dime and don't even know what amount the wanted. Went to work on putting my profiles on max privacy, changed my pfps, changed my usernames, ...
It's now been 1 week and almost 12 hours later. Nothing has happened in regards to anything being leaked. I have not heard anything from the scammer again, not with a new number or any other social channel. No friend or family member has contacted my about getting any video. Nothing for more than a week now.
The fact they're Philippine criminals did allow me to do lots of research since it's sadly typical for that country. Luckily this means that there are prison sentences starting from 7 years and fines of around 10.000 euros. These elements do make me believe that I might be through that experience without any harm following.
I have had some DMs with victims here, used a public help line to explain my story to a listening stranger and filed a complaint with local law enforcement. These and much more got me through the suicidal phase.
There are plenty of polls and stories that'll show you how unlikely it is for them to actually leak. The risk, time and money they have to invest is simply almost never worth it.
I feel like I wanna move on from this, leave the past behind but I think I'll need another week of being in the clear to do so. If you have gone through a longer period of being free or have tips, recommendations or advice for me in how to look at the future, please let me know. I'm always available here.
Finally, don't pay, block, report and put your channels on max privacy or remove them as long as you need.

Went to work on putting my profiles on max privacy, changed my pfps, changed my usernames, ...
It's now been 1 week and almost 12 hours later. Nothing has happened in regards to anything being leaked. I have not heard anything from the scammer again, not with a new number or any other social channel. No friend or family member has contacted my about getting any video. Nothing for more than a week now.
The fact they're Philippine criminals did allow me to do lots of research since it's sadly typical for that country. Luckily this means that there are prison sentences starting from 7 years and fines of around 10.000 euros. These elements do make me believe that I might be through that experience without any harm following.
I have had some DMs with victims here, used a public help line to explain my story to a listening stranger and filed a complaint with local law enforcement. These and much more got me through the suicidal phase.
There are plenty of polls and stories that'll show you how unlikely it is for them to actually leak. The risk, time and money they have to invest is simply almost never worth it.
I feel like I wanna move on from this, leave the past behind but I think I'll need another week of being in the clear to do so. If you have gone through a longer period of being free or have tips, recommendations or advice for me in how to look at the future, please let me know. I'm always available here.
Finally, don't pay, block, report and put your channels on max privacy or remove them as long as you need.
2024.05.19 11:06 Tough_Nose2206 Some Thoughts on Knife of Dreams after finishing it (WoT book 11)
I finished this book in around 5/6 days.
RJ went out with a high!
Wow. So many great moments and storylines in this book, storylines being resolved even! All great except a few chapters of Elayne in the middle of the book. RJ is back to his old form, with great characterisation and stuff happens for once!?! Unbelievable.
You can really feel the story torpedoing to Tarmon Gai’don, I can’t wait.
Here are some thoughts on this book:
Nynaeve
Nynaeve loves, trusts, and feels for Lan so much; I can’t help but tear when she rallies for Malkier. Favourite scene of the whole series personally, involving my favourite characters.
“My husband rides from World’s End to Tarwin’s Gap, toward Tarmon Gai’don. Will he ride alone?
CHILLS!!!
Also, give me more Nynaeve, she needs more page time.
Perrin
Great ending to a sometimes lacking storyline (just Faile’s PoV), and it has ended with Perrin ready for the time ahead with his beloved and the shaido finally disappeared, forever hopefully.
Perrin was so blind to everything but Faile this book. Ignoring the signs of Tarmon Gai’don for the one he loves. This obviously isn’t healthy, but I understand him; his whole family died and she is the one who filled the gaps in his heart, if she died I doubt Perrin would ever recover from it.
I guess Aram isn’t a darkfriend as I previously speculated, just a man who is very susceptible to being manipulated. An abrupt ending to someone who got introduced in the first book, and later become a reoccurring character. His descent was quite tragic though; died trying to kill the man who helped him get back on his feet many times over just because of one man’s manipulation. Fuck Masema.
Rolan and the other two brotherless’ death was unjustified but I can’t blame Perrin for killing him. Adrenaline pumping through his veins and he sees 3 men standing between him and his wife. It was bound to end in blood. However, while Rolan was a bit of a creep at times he didn’t deserve to die like that after helping Faile. Now that I think about it though, he was sort of trying to steal her from Perrin, Rolan’s death was inevitable.
Tam finally learned that Rand is the dragon reborn, after I think around 3 years. I would have expected he would know by now, but I guess the two rivers is notorious for being secluded and only getting information from peddlers.
Perrin and seanchan captain has a quite nice mutual respect for each other, another bridge to seanchan relations has been built.
After all these deaths, failures, and triumphs, Perrin and Faile are finally reunited! I am interested to see where the story goes with them, maybe they will go after Masema?
Mat
Mat is always an enjoyable read, and now he has accepted that he can’t escape his luck and the battlefield, Mat now just tries to work out a way to make as little people die as possible.
I have to talk about Moiraine first of course. She is confirmed to be alive, which I hoped for and expected. However, didn’t expect it to take this many books. I have been waiting too long for this, I missed her so much and I am excited for her to be back hopefully soon.
Mat and Tuon are my second favourite couple so far, after Nynaeve and Lan, they have a great dynamic!
From the start Mat knew that he would marry Tuon, but she was slowly deciphering whether this man was truly who she would marry. She did ask many seemingly random questions which was a big giveaway. The build up was worth it though, she completely confuses Mat by doing it out of the blue and revealing her prophecies from her damane. Hilarious moment!
I feel Tuon growing on me but then I remember that she agrees with slavery and leashing those who can channel. I am conflicted on her, but maybe she will change. We have a love-hate relationship.
Mat, please just go free Moiraine already. Please.
Rand
While he hasn’t had the spotlight for a few books, his chapters are always full of major plot points and revelations which are always great.
Lews Therin is creeping in like a parasite, taking control of the power and Rand even confuses his thoughts with Lews Therin. One lack of control and that could be it for Min or others around him. Disturbing thoughts.
One minute I was watching a lovely wedding between Loial and Erith, the next there is thousands of trollocs outside the window. The juxtaposition is crazy.
The new weaves are really powerful, it can’t be nice for random dead trollocs to appear outside your house though.
Did Semirhage expect to defeat Rand? I think there is some other plot she has. Semirhage went down too easy for that to be her only plan. Potentially trying she is trying manipulate his allies to go to the shadow. Or like many of the forsaken she was just arrogant.
Hoping that Rand gets his hand back, I loved Rands swordplay and It will absolutely cause issues. Surely he can use the power to create a fake hand.
Breaks my heart, to see Rand so calm after all he goes through. Poor guy. Cadsuane needs to teach Rand to feel again and quickly!
Seanchan truce incoming. Rand will now see what Mat has been up to while he has been battling the forsaken.
Egwene
Thoroughly enjoyed her political manoeuvrings around the white tower, slowly planting seeds of dissent between the different layers of aes sedai. Egwene is great at scheming and manipulation; she is a genius. Not the best person though.
I have a lot of respect for Egwene. Multiple strappings a day, and she carries on twisting the aes sedai, what a powerhouse!
Egwene is consistently interesting to me, I think she will play a big part over the next few books.
Elayne
Elayne was great late in the book, while lacking a bit at the start.
She was overconfident this book, just because she won’t die any time soon (min’s viewing) doesn’t mean she can’t be captured. It was very reckless to just burst into the BA’s house and expect to live.
I loved Vandene getting her revenge on Careane, what a way to go, her short storyline was amazing. Amazing but tragic.
I found it weird how an aes sedai sent by Elaida just stormed in, said Elayne would regret sending her away and ran off. There had to be something larger going on with her.
Problem after problem kept pilling up, but she dealt with them with resilience and it somewhat worked out. A true queen if I ever saw one.
Other
Rand has caused a whole civilisation to kill themselves. Let’s hope he never finds that out. This was a really horrifying moment, left my mouth open for a while.
Taim is not a forsaken, but just a very high ranking dark friend it seems. He must be very high ranking to know about the lord of chaos. What if he is a newly raised forsaken? Only the forsaken know about the lord of chaos, not regular dark friends. I don’t know how one would raise a darkfriend though, does it come with new abilities or just being closer to the dark one?
RJ is great at the small details however he doesn’t touch upon the slavery stuff, which I find weird. Could just be me though.
Overall
This book ends so many dragging storylines, I can’t wait for the next!
I’m sad this is the last Robert Jordan book, but I’ve heard that Brandon ended it well, I watched a few videos on him and read his eulogy on RJ and he seems very kind and admires RJ a lot. I don’t know how his writing style is though, maybe someone can give me an idea of how it compares to RJ?
It is tragic RJ couldn’t finish his series by himself though, but glad someone was found to finish it.
just don’t mess up Nynaeve Brandon!
I probably missed a lot of plot points but I didn’t want this to be too long, and I want to read the next book already.

2024.05.19 11:00 SmokeDry6001 I 22 F think that my boyfriend 23 M is gay after finding gay p on his phone
This is my first post I’m not really sure how redit works so bear with me, all of this also JUST happened tonight so my mind is everywhere, but I’m almost 99.999% positive my 22 F boyfriend 23 M is gay. Me and him have kind of always had a really rocky relationship that I’ve always kind of known wasn’t healthy, but we’ve been on and off for 7 years. I lost my virginity to him, he’s my first love, literally my first everything, and all of this doesn’t even feel real.
He’s always been uncomfortable with PDA and as we’ve gotten older he’s been more detached and not as loving as he once was. I just figured it was because we’ve broken up for months and (once) years at a time, so he’s just keeping his guard up. But as of lately it’s been even worse. I only see him once a week, and later in the night for example he’ll come over around 8 or 9pm and fall asleep around 11 or 12 and wake me up in the morning saying he’s going home. So in all I’m getting about 3 hours a week with him. I’ve brought it up several times and even broke up with him over it. Eventually we’ve gotten back together of course, but it’s just weird to me. He does work a lot, but he spends ALL of his free time with his friends, and I’ve never met them.
7 YEARS in each others lives and I’ve never met his closest friends besides a few mutuals.
Anyways, tonight he came over because we were talking on the phone late last night and decided to get back together after being broken up for about 2 weeks. When he got here (10:45pm btw) I felt so emotional and unwanted because of him coming over so late (he was with his friends) but tried to just brush it off as me being me. We messed around, and I immediately started crying after which is not normal for me. He didn’t notice bc he was overly tired from work and being a little drunk so we cuddled a bit and he fell asleep.
That’s when I got the urge to go through his phone. I know what most people will say about that, it was really shitty, but we haven’t done that to each other in years so it was very weird I suddenly felt like I needed to. It was completely clean and there was literally nothing that bothered me, until I went to his google search history.
It was ALL GAY P VIDEOS. Literally all of it. Shemale, femboy, straight up ‘regular’ gay p, you name it. There was NO hetero p from what I saw.
This isn’t the first time he’s done something that’s made me question his sexuality. We’ve explored peg ging, which he loved so much he got a bit obsessive about it, like touching his nether region is all he wanted at one point. I haven’t done it in a long time, and I think he’s picked up on that because he’s relaxed a lot. But still brings it up often.
Once he was looking through his camera roll with me next to him, and I saw pics of him in girls underwear. We had a long emotional talk, he explained it was just part of his fetish for butt stuff, and I asked him if he’s gay or at least bi, and he said no. I told him I would always love him no matter what and if he was he could tell me. He got really mad, and insisted that wasn’t the case. So I dropped it and we never talked about the pictures again.
He’s always made really overly homophobic comments, not only am I bisexual (he’s aware of this) but most of the people I’m closest to are some type of queer, so we would often get into heated arguments regarding the lgbt+ community. He would always just really over play it, and I let it slide bc I’d always had an inkling he was probably bi himself and not ready to admit like most people who grew up in religious settings like himself.
All of this has happened months and even a couple years apart. So up until the gay p I never really thought he was fully gay.
If anyone sees this PLEASE give me advice on how to approach this. I can’t just break up with him without reason, and especially without knowing for certain. After 7 years I need some type of clarity. I’ve tried to move on before and we ALWAYS come back together. I don’t know how to approach this situation, I get that it’s going to be VERY sensitive for him, I don’t want to force him to come out to me, but I need something after spending 1/3 of my life loving and being with him. Again sorry if this is poorly worded and doesn’t make sense.
TL;DR I found gay p on my boyfriend’s phone after 7 years of being together, and along with other incidents. I have no idea how to handle this situation, he’s always been a bit overly “homophobic” and I need advice on how to handle this without making him feel cornered or forcing him to come out if he isn’t ready.

When he got here (10:45pm btw) I felt so emotional and unwanted because of him coming over so late (he was with his friends) but tried to just brush it off as me being me. We messed around, and I immediately started crying after which is not normal for me. He didn’t notice bc he was overly tired from work and being a little drunk so we cuddled a bit and he fell asleep.
That’s when I got the urge to go through his phone. I know what most people will say about that, it was really shitty, but we haven’t done that to each other in years so it was very weird I suddenly felt like I needed to. It was completely clean and there was literally nothing that bothered me, until I went to his google search history.
It was ALL GAY P VIDEOS. Literally all of it. Shemale, femboy, straight up ‘regular’ gay p, you name it. There was NO hetero p from what I saw.
This isn’t the first time he’s done something that’s made me question his sexuality. We’ve explored peg ging, which he loved so much he got a bit obsessive about it, like touching his nether region is all he wanted at one point. I haven’t done it in a long time, and I think he’s picked up on that because he’s relaxed a lot. But still brings it up often.
Once he was looking through his camera roll with me next to him, and I saw pics of him in girls underwear. We had a long emotional talk, he explained it was just part of his fetish for butt stuff, and I asked him if he’s gay or at least bi, and he said no. I told him I would always love him no matter what and if he was he could tell me. He got really mad, and insisted that wasn’t the case. So I dropped it and we never talked about the pictures again.
He’s always made really overly homophobic comments, not only am I bisexual (he’s aware of this) but most of the people I’m closest to are some type of queer, so we would often get into heated arguments regarding the lgbt+ community. He would always just really over play it, and I let it slide bc I’d always had an inkling he was probably bi himself and not ready to admit like most people who grew up in religious settings like himself.
All of this has happened months and even a couple years apart. So up until the gay p I never really thought he was fully gay.
If anyone sees this PLEASE give me advice on how to approach this. I can’t just break up with him without reason, and especially without knowing for certain. After 7 years I need some type of clarity. I’ve tried to move on before and we ALWAYS come back together. I don’t know how to approach this situation, I get that it’s going to be VERY sensitive for him, I don’t want to force him to come out to me, but I need something after spending 1/3 of my life loving and being with him. Again sorry if this is poorly worded and doesn’t make sense.
TL;DR I found gay p on my boyfriend’s phone after 7 years of being together, and along with other incidents. I have no idea how to handle this situation, he’s always been a bit overly “homophobic” and I need advice on how to handle this without making him feel cornered or forcing him to come out if he isn’t ready.
2024.05.19 10:58 KaiSchtrom Assetto Corsa Dashcam Mod
 | Hi to the Assetto Corsa Community, submitted by KaiSchtrom to assettocorsa [link] [comments] this is my first post on Reddit and I want to share my work for free. Weeks ago I found some gameplay videos on YouTube, where a realistic dashcam mod for Assetto Corsa was promoted. To be honest I thought the videos were all fake at first. To prove the fake videos, I investigated further into the modding process and got some unexpected results. I never thought a nearly 10 year old game can look that realistic in the year 2024! This tutorial will show you step by step what is needed to create a dashcam modification for the sim racing game Assetto Corsa developed by Kunos Simulazioni. Because I researched many hours to get the pieces together, I will try to give away the collected info for free, in the hope that this guide maybe helpful to others.

2024.05.19 10:50 regularorange120 I hate YouTuber culture
I hate youtuber culture, I truly do. I never liked the idea of so many talentless, unlikable people like Logan Paul or Keemstar becoming famous and well known when they clearly didn't deserve it.
Even for more respectable people like Markplier or Mr. Beast, I find their videos so mind numbingly stupid and underwhelming that it makes me all the more ashamed to be a part of Generation Z which is already god awful.
It urks me inside that when we get older in our 40s and 50s and telling the future generations what things were at the time and the celebrities we liked, we're gonna say KSI, PewDiePie, and SkyDoesMinecraft instead of actual legitimate celebrities that deserve the credit.
Fuck gen z, fuck youtubers, and fuck the annoying culture it created. I wish it would all Unus Annus and erase itself

2024.05.19 10:50 Bloodstarr98 Fruit Ninja's Rotten Update: From Prized Possession to Pay-to-Play? Following EA's footsteps.
Many of us hold Fruit Ninja in a special place. It was a pioneer in the mobile gaming world, offering simple yet addictive fun for a small price of just $1 when it became a global sensation, almost as popular as angry birds. We purchased it, we mastered it, we loved it, and many people just had the lite version and loved it all the same. Some of us, like myself, even went the extra mile with DLC purchases like the Chainsaw blade when it first came out, eager to support the developers who brought us endless fruit slicing joy. But recent updates by Halfbrick Studios have left a bitter taste in our mouths. What was once a beloved game transformed into a system that feels exploitative and downright unfair to its loyal player base.
Here's the rotten core of the issue: Halfbrick launched a subscription service, Halfbrick+ which sounds reasonable for free-to-play users. However, their decision to force existing paying customers – those who already purchased the game and even DLC – into this subscription model is a slap in the face. Not only that, but one of their prior updates deleted all old user accounts, essentially wiping out our past purchases, records and achievements.
The new options are bleak: pay a monthly subscription or fork over a whopping $100 for a (hopefully) permanent unlock. This is a staggering price jump for a game we already paid for once, let alone twice for some of us, and is literally theft, taking the game back in to their greedy clutches just to sell it back to us, repackaged.
This isn't just bad marketing; it's ethically questionable. We, the early adopters who put Fruit Ninja on the map, are now being strong-armed into a system that blatantly disregards our past support. It feels like a betrayal of trust.
We, the loyal Fruit Ninja community, deserve better. We deserve to be valued, not strong-armed. We deserve to have our past purchases respected, not erased.
Let's not let this stand. It's time to raise our voices and demand fair treatment. Share your experiences, express your outrage, and remind Halfbrick Studios that loyal customers shouldn't be treated like afterthoughts, go everywhere, reddit, instagram, twitter, be heard and let your concerns be heard. Sure there are more pressing things in the world then corrupt video game developers, but I want to believe my cherished memories with this game was worth something. Now, it just feels like they're running the brand to the ground, which seems like a popular trend these days.
Keep good things good.
Come out with a Fruit Ninja 3, get involved with fortnite, but why are you messing with my fruit ninja classic? Shame on you.
