Hi guys
Sorry if this is a long post. I’ve not really been able to speak to anyone in my life about my experience and I have just hit a wall. I’ve been with my husband (34M) for 12 years. We got married in June and have a gorgeous one year old girl. He had a large lump on his neck for 6 months that he was continually told was nothing. He pushed and it was eventually biopsied and he was diagnosed very unexpectedly with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in November 2023 which had spread to lymph nodes in his neck bilaterally. There were many tests and procedures to get the full diagnosis and I am fairly confident that the primary tumour is more extensive than he understands based on some comments made by doctors. He wasn’t a candidate for surgery given the tumours locations, so he had six rounds of chemo to try to shrink the tumours before starting two months of daily radiation and weekly chemo. We are on week 7 of 8. I have taken most of the responsibility for parenting our daughter since she was born. I had to take a career break as we couldn’t get childcare for her (childcare in Ireland is horrific, it’s impossible to get). My background is a speech and language therapist and SLTs work in head and neck cancer. Although it’s not my area, I studied in it and did hospital rotations so had a good understanding of the effects of treatment for his cancer. Anyway, since his diagnosis I am full time caregiver to both my husband and daughter. We have no childcare so essentially I spend 17 hours or so a day caring for one or other of them. I’ve not had so much as an hour to myself since this began. I have had moments of overwhelm but keep trying to pick myself back up. My husband would be by nature quite an impatient person and can be quite insensitive. I have tried to stay empathetic, I know he is suffering and struggling but I am so tired of being snapped at, being spoken of poorly and there being no recognition of how difficult it has been to go through this while also raising our child alone. Our little girl is so sweet, for months I’ve talked to her about daddy being sick, his medicine, going to the doctor, blowing kisses when she’s been sick so as not to make him sick etc. He sees her for honestly no more than a few minutes a day which is really hard on her. Today she went to hug him and he said can you take her away, time goes too slow when she’s around and i want to ge left alone. Two days ago he bit my head off for “encouraging her” to come up to him (yet he will look for hugs etc when it suits him). I was frankly disgusted and reminded him she is a little girl and he’s her Dad, that there is a balance. He told me there is no balance and he doesn’t care about anyone else right now. I suggested a nebuliser for him with his care team today, which I sourced, organised a prescription for the saline, picked up, paid for and sterilised and set up for him this evening. After finishig, he really flew off the handle at me for suggesting he try a particular mouthwash again. He swore at me, told me I’ve been horrible to him, that I’m not even trying, and much worse. I am so worn down from how he is acting towards me. I promise this is not a situation whereby I am giving a skewed view - I know what he’s saying is untrue, im doing absolutely everything for him and my daughter to my on detriment. I just don’t know where to put all these feelings. Im petrified for him and I’m also tired of being the target of his outbursts. I know he fully believes what he says to me and that hurts the most, I know that no apology will come because he thinks I’m at fault. Im worried for our relationship. How have others got through the rage and blame? Does anyone else have young kids? I don’t want to speak to others in real life as I don’t want them to judge him afterwards, plus it’s hard to speak badly of someone going through gruelling cancer treatment. Apologies again for the long post, it’s the first time I’ve said any of this out loud

I am really bad in talking and socialising first, something which seems like a necessary step to survive now. So I hope to talk with anyone who is willing to create more connections, acquaintances and possibly friends. I'm open to talk to anyone of any age and gender or from any country of origin (I would like to exchange cultural thoughts and possibly learn new languages too)
Here are few likes and dislikes I have: - Animes, Cartoons, Webtoons, Mangas- have read a lot and watched a lot and can recommend you some of the best ones - Games- I play valorant and Csgo mainly, used to play many more like Apex, COD, Rocket league, GTA. and I love campaign themed games (favourite series being Assassin's Creed) - Movies and series- I have watched plenty of contents, so would be ready to talk about something you liked in a movie (possibly judge a movie together haha) - Kpop/Jpop/Cpop (also dramas) - loved them! Their plots, songs, crisp writing and so much more they have to offer to the world. - Arts - I am a sucker for any kind of art (be it painting or music or dance) and I genuinely want to learn more about its different forms - Technology - I am quite interested in AIML, Product management and Industrial Electrical sector. Working on a few projects too, if you wanna talk about it. Apart from that, cosmos, quantum physics, psychology (I have a weird abiltiy regarding this) and so much more.
My hobbies include: - cooking (fairly well in it) - photography (human portrait, nature photography, dog photos, you name it!) - painting (learning to draw digital portraits now, would love if you want your portrait made by me ahaha) - trekking and camping (love forest more than beach sorry) -reading books and music (not very vibrant taste in it, so would really like some recommendations)
Here's to a new friendship :)

That is the web site for the company they are working with. They work with other teams also. They have a Green Bay Fan package to Brazil. Why do they have to make it sound like they are the only ones doing this. It is also open to anyone. I wonder how many people need to sign up for Riz to grift a free trip. I'm sure they will say there is a waiting list! HAHA! Bon Appétit!

I have 30 types of drawers each containing 6 boxes of components that vary.
I get a system report excel spit out but it list the Drawer Number in Column A5 with a detailed name in B5 then a few rows down in it lists a table with the box names in column B rows 10-16 then it gives the count of items per box in column D-P (12 months of data) with an average at the end Q.
How can I import this to powerBI and have it extract the table for each of the 30 drawers?
I want a finished table and it’s the drawer numbers in column a (30 rows) and then the names of the items in the top column (6 columns) and I just want it to show the yearly average value from column Q. I can’t seem to get this to work.
I tried filtering but if I filter it hides elements in A. Then I tried letting powerBI generate tables but it made 30 separate sheets of those tables instead of a combined one. Any help is much appreciated! 👍😄

I manage a team of 4, 3 of which are in office with me twice a week. I'm in a major depressive cycle right now, due to a recent family death. I simply do not give a fuck about my job right now.
We also recently laid off 3 of our team members. So this is a very important time to keep my existing team engaged and confident about their work with us. But I just.. don't care. I don't know how to pretend to keep engaged right now to properly support them.

Armenia and India will form a new working group for defense cooperation

Defense ministries of AM and IN held a meeting on Tuesday. They discussed the 2024-2025 cooperation plan and the creation of a new working group to coordinate the cooperation.
source,

from PM Pashinyan's speech at Copenhagen Democracy Summit:

PASHINYAN: Democracy has indeed become a reality in Armenia. Before the 2018 Velvet Revolution, massive electoral frauds were the usual companion of elections in Armenia. There was no trust among the citizens that there was a real chance for them to elect the government.
Now the situation is totally different; citizens know that they are powerful enough to decide. The two general elections that were held in Armenia after the Velvet Revolution have been acknowledged as democratic, free, and competitive both by the Armenian society and the international community.
Armenia made huge progress in strengthening the democratic institutions, an achievement reflected in reputable democracy indexes:
(a) Now we are the 43rd in the Reporters Without Borders’ Freedom of Speech index, compared to 79th place in 2017.
(b) Categorized as having partially free internet in 2017 by Freedom House, now we enjoy the status of a country with free internet.
(c) In Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index, Armenia is now 62nd instead of 107th in 2017.
(d) In the Economist Intelligence Unit’s democracy index we are 84th compared to 111th in 2017.
In order to assess this progress, it's essential to note that alongside democratic reforms, Armenia has been contending with external security challenges: the 44-day war in Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan's invasion of Armenia in 2021 and 2022 and the occupation of over 200 km² amid inaction by [Russia's] CSTO, the forced displacement of over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, have cast doubts among Armenian citizens weather democracy is the right choice. So, democracy needs to prove its efficiency while dealing with security, economic and humanitarian challenges.
We are pleased with the deployment of EU monitoring mission alongside the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, and we welcome EU’s decision to expand its capacity. On the other hand, we hope for the inclusion of Armenia into the European Peace Facility and in this regard, we rely on the support of all EU member states [Hungary].
A new set of commitments aimed at strengthening Armenia’s economic resilience, state institutions, and addressing the humanitarian needs of refugees has been taken on by the European Union and United States during the high-level meeting on April 5 in Brussels. The rapid and effective implementation of those commitments is of utmost importance.
Despite all the challenges, we believe that the real and most aspiring companion for democracy is lasting and sustainable peace. My government took the share of its responsibility for this. Recently we reached an agreement with Azerbaijan to launch the delimitation of our interstate borders on the basis of the Almaty Declaration of 1991. That means that during the delimitation we should simply reproduce the Soviet-era administrative borders. This is the implementation of the agreement reached in Prague in 2022. Now it is time to incorporate and reflect those agreements in the peace treaty and have it signed.
Another key point for our regional stability is the «Crossroads of Peace», project, initiated by my government. This project implies that Armenia and Azerbaijan restore and open transport and other communications in accordance with the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the countries through which they pass, and comply with the principles of equality and reciprocity. These elements of the concept were agreed upon during the July 2023 meeting with Ilham Aliyev and Charles Michel. //

... Politico reporter's Q&A with Pashinyan

REPORTER: [Ex-NATO leader] Anders Fogh Rasmussen called your neighbor an autocracy. You are in a very difficult geopolitical and geographical position. How do you solve the security problem in that environment?
PASHINYAN: I would not like to comment on the internal situation of our neighboring countries. Democracy fully corresponds to the mentality of our people. It is a strategy for our government, it is our political belief, it is also our political identity. The members of our political team have spent most of their lives fighting for democracy, the rule of law, and freedom of speech. Now we have the opportunity to realize all these values in our country.
The security situation was complicated because of the regional and global situation; the world order is collapsing at the moment. My assessment is, and I have had occasion to say this publicly, that the 2020 war was a prelude to further developments. And now the main issue is security.
What is our strategic point of view, how are we going to guarantee the security of our country? Recently, I gave a speech in our parliament, where I said that the most important tool for ensuring security is a foreign policy based on legitimacy. This is the reason why we so often speak about the 1991 Almaty Declaration.
It is very important that during the 2022 Prague meeting, two very important agreements were reached. Armenia and Azerbaijan recognize each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty on the basis of the Almaty Declaration and will use it as the basis for the border demarcation. This is the reason why I said that we are not drawing a new border, we just need to reproduce the existing one on the ground. This process is happening right now, and I hope that we will continue it steadfastly.
REPORTER: The border conflict that has occurred in recent years has had a negative impact on relations with Russia and Russia's role for Armenia. What would you say about this?
PASHINYAN: Armenia is a member of CSTO. We are officially a CSTO member, but I have announced that we have frozen our participation.
REPORTER: So are you still a member or...?
PASHINYAN: It is a matter for further discussion, but it is very important to record the current situation. A crisis arose in our relations after Azerbaijani troops invaded Armenia, and according to CSTO procedures, the Organization and its member states had to support Armenia in this situation. But even after the formal application, the CSTO refused to take any concrete steps, and in fact, that is the main reason for freezing our participation in the CSTO at all levels.
REPORTER: Do you expect the West to occupy the current vacuum and ensure your security?
PASHINYAN: We are diversifying our foreign relations in all spheres. Now we are developing defense cooperation with India, France, and other countries. We have a certain cooperation with the European Union because as I mentioned, we are happy about the deployment of the EU Civilian Observation Mission on the border. It is a civilian mission but in a way, it is a new factor for the security of our region. This is the first time that the European Union participates in the security agenda of Armenia.
REPORTER: Would you like to become an EU member?
PASHINYAN: We are waiting for the EU's decision to include Armenia in the European Peace Facility. We also hope to start visa liberalization negotiations, and last year I announced in the European Parliament that Armenia is ready to be as close to the European Union as the European Union deems it possible. This is our position.
REPORTER: Can you elaborate on what initiatives Armenia is taking in the fight against corruption?
PASHINYAN: We have made huge progress but have not eradicated corruption from Armenia. We must continue to be persistent in the agenda of democratic reforms. This is the reason why cooperation with the European Union is of utmost importance for us because today the European Union is our main partner in the implementation of our democratic reform agenda. We hope that the European Union, as well as the USA, will increase their support to Armenia in the implementation of democratic reforms, because, as I said, democracy is a strategy for us.
By the way, in 2019 we started a Strategic Dialogue with the USA, and today we see the strengthening of our cooperation with the European Union. We recently had a tripartite meeting with the participation of the USA, EU, and Armenia. It was an unprecedented format, where we adopted a huge agenda of institutional and economic reforms. It is also very important that we receive more tangible support from the EU and the US to address the humanitarian needs of the Nagorno Karabakh refugees because it is a very sensitive and emotional issue for us.
REPORTER: In which year would you like Armenia to become a member of the EU?
PASHINYAN: This year [as soon as possible]. //

former regime continues to hold protests and briefly shut down roads in Yerevan with demands for PM Pashinyan's resignation

ԳԼՈՒԽ 1
Dozens of participants were detained and released the same day for blocking roads. The detentions decreased from 170 on Monday to ~63 on Tuesday. They want Pashinyan to resign or to be impeached. The protest organizers visited universities to gather student supporters, some of whom joined them with a dance. The organizers also stopped by at a bakery where they were given free food.
A felony investigation was launched after a police vehicle, "with the sirens on", struck a reporter on the street. In another instance, an investigation was launched against a protester who brought a long sword. One other case was launched over alleged threats made on Facebook by a Galstanyan fan who wants scores of people to be beaten in dalans and exiled from Armenia, "մենակ էտ դեպքում էս սրբազան հողը կմաքրվի էս տեսակ շան ծնունդներից, ուրիշ ձև չկա!!!!"
ԳԼՈՒԽ 2
A ruling faction member of Yerevan City Council complained about "harassment" by opposition figures who are attempting to convince ruling party members to join the protests and the impeachment.
RULING MEMBER: That is not how it works. No one will join you with that conduct. People will join if they see you have a legitimate agenda with trustworthy leaders. Instead, you are "ethnically cleansing" the citizens of Armenia [referring to one opposition speaker telling non-Armenians to leave] և հեռու չէ են օրը երբ դուք գուցե ասեք որ հայ լինելու համար պետք է Հայկ նահապետից տեղեկանք բերել: //
ԳԼՈՒԽ 3
Yesterday the protest co-organizer Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan said he received a report suggesting that the Deputy Rector of Yerevan State University supposedly urged deans and others to retaliate against students who joined the protests. Galstanyan said he was unsure whether the report was true, but decided to read it out loud anyway. On Tuesday he rallied his supporters to the backyard of the University where he demanded to speak with the Deputy Rector for clarification.
The Deputy Rector went downstairs and greeted Galstanyan, who shook her hand but wouldn't let it go for an uncomfortably long period, prompting her to ask him to let go of her hand. The Deputy Rector declared that whatever Galstanyan read about her was a defamatory lie.
GALSTANYAN: I never believed it myself.
DEPUTY RECTOR: Then you should not have said out loud something you did not believe.
GALSTANYAN: Listen, there is a recorded fact...
DEPUTY RECTOR: Where is that "recorded fact"?
GALSTANYAN: It was on the media. As I said yesterday, I had no verification that it was true, which is why we came here to clarify it. If it's false, then I apologize.
DEPUTY RECTOR: Thank you. //
The Deputy Rector urged the protest organizers not to enter the building or disrupt the classes, and that "anyone who wants to follow you can follow you, anyone who wants to stay in classrooms should stay in classrooms".
The angry Deputy Rector left. Another university official criticized Galstanyan for not checking the information before reading it to his followers. Galstanyan said he stands behind his words, and that he was "just reading what was on the media", but reiterated that he had no intention to insult the Deputy Rector.
ԳԼՈՒԽ 4
Galstanyan and his supporters visited the monument dedicated to Operation Nemesis. He praised the figures behind Nemesis for "assuming personal responsibility". In front of the crowd, Galstanyan introduced Hambig Sassounian who recently joined his movement. He pointed to the Nemesis monument and said Sassounian is "one of the successors, one of the brightest people." In related news, on Sunday a ruling faction MP complained about receiving death threats with reference to Operation Nemesis.
ԳԼՈՒԽ 5
DANIEL IOANNESIAN (NGO chief): When this protest dies down, we need to discuss the following: (1) The transparency of political and media funding. There are some regulations in place, but they are incomplete and easily bypassed. For example, I'd like to know who paid for Archbishop Galstanyan's giant stage in Republic Square. In 2018 Pashinyan organized a fundraising for it and disclosed a detailed report. (2) Should the media organizations that do not respect the rules of financial transparency enjoy all the mechanisms for the protection of journalists? (3) Are the customs authorities confident that the church is not facilitating the business activities of certain figures disguised as donations? (4) Is it fair for the church and clergy members not to pay taxes? Should they be able to have a Bently and LX570 without paying taxes? [The "Bentley" is based on a true story.]
ԳԼՈՒԽ 6
Archbishop's fans spotted Miss Armenia 2003 and a H1 host Lusine Tovmasyan drinking a coffee at a Yerevan café and approached her.
PROTESTER: (unintelligable)
LUSINE: I was here drinking coffee yesterday, and a year before that.
PROTESTER: Why have you not joined the holy struggle?

Armenian government has upgraded other diplomatic channels to reduce reliance on ARF's diaspora structures in the US, says pro-West NGO chief

KHURSHUDYAN: The status of the Armenian Ambassador to the U.S. [Lilith Makunts] has been significantly upgraded. I won't go into specifics because it's tied to our neighbors, but she plays an interesting role there. We have great conditions for the U.S. Congress to pressure Azerbaijan. This is outside of ARF's lobbyist groups in the U.S.
REPORTER: ARF Hay Dat's recent conduct has been shameful.
KHURSHUDYAN: And its influence on the Lemkin Institute was obvious. //
Yesterday Kurshudyan accused the Lemkin Institute of caving to ARF's pressure and meddling into Armenia's internal affairs to assist the protests by the pro-Russian former regime.
KHURSHUDYAN: Lemkin Institute accused Pashinyan's April 24 genocide remembrance day statement of containing "victim blaming". Lemkin did not comment on Pashinyan's statement for several weeks, waited 15 days, and as soon as these pro-Russian protests began in Armenia, they gave them a պաս:

Georgia passes controversial ‘foreign agents’ bill despite widespread opposition

The law will require organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as “agents of foreign influence” or face crippling fines.
The bill will be sent to the President who is expected to veto it, but her veto is expected to be overruled by the parliamentary majority later.
Georgian PM Kobakhidze had an "honest conversation" with U.S. deputy foreign minister James O'Brien, telling him that the Georgian government is interested in deepening the partnership with the U.S., "which requires mutual efforts and relations based on fairness."
James O'Brien demanded to speak with the manager - Bidza Ivanishvili. The latter refused to meet O'Brien, saying he won't hold any meetings under "blackmail".
The White House said the U.S. will review its relations with Georgia if the bill becomes law.

temperatures are rising rapidly in Armenia

REPORTER: The rainy May is not going to be enough to alleviate the negative consequences of the rapidly rising temperatures in Armenia. With a ~3 Celsius anomaly, Armenia had the second-highest increase in temperature over the last 6 months among a group of monitored countries.
WEATHER CENTER: High temperatures increase the evaporation of water and reduce the amount of snow in the winter. In December and January, we recorded rain instead of snow in certain mountainous regions, which is bad for water resources.
REPORTER: A conference was recently held in Yerevan within the framework of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification.
UN official: Around 40% of global soils are degraded. Millions of people will be forced to migrate from their communities by 2050 as a result of climate problems. Emergency action is needed to reduce the rate of rising temperatures. //
Armenia joined the Convention three decades ago and has assumed the responsibility to restore degraded soil by 2030. The government is promoting drip irrigation systems for farming and wants to plant more trees.

a new study on mice indicates that more exercise might be better than more sleep for clearing brain of toxins

They injected a dye into a brain and tracked the speed of its movement during sleep and exercise.
The findings show that the clearance of the dye was reduced by 30% in sleeping mice compared with mice that were kept awake. This has not been confirmed on humans yet.
Previous research has suggested that sleep is important for preventing dementia as it is during this time that toxic proteins are cleared from the brain.

In the beginning you are no one. You leave the vault weak, tired, with barely any gear. Avoid most encounters and quests at the start. Try to survive, build a safe spot and carefully explore. Be aware of your surroundings, use what you find. \ Save often in beds and make 'autosave drug' at the earliest possibility for your convinience (nearest chemistry workbench is at Abernathy Farm). Save items are always on top of MISC category in Pip-Boy. \ Discovering new places gives plenty of exp in the beginning, but quests are your main exp income. \ Explore safer areas like Sanctuary, Concord and smaller settlements first (avoiding powerful enemies). There might be a lot of combat in the background. Don't engage much, especially avoid supermutants, robots, turrets, bears - they are deadly even for high level, well developed characters. Raiders also hit hard, depending on their weapon and rank. \ Weapon caliber makes huge damage difference. 10mm is pretty weak, but if you find rare .50cal rounds or some good explosives, you should eliminate tougher targets much more easily. \ Investing in stats right after level 15 is a good idea. STR for carry weight, PER for accuracy, END for health, CHA for better prices, INT for more exp, AGI for sneak and speed, LCK for dmg and loot. Be sure of your choices. Watch out for 'revealing all map markers' and 'slow time when aiming' perks. Be sure you want and like them, there is no going back. \ Deathclaw in the early minuteman quest is tough - try to use explosives to break his legs and some high caliber weapons to finish him off by shooting his face. Or maybe you'll get lucky and raiders will kill him. Or just simply avoid him until you get proper gear. \ Don't waste ammo on zombies, use melee. Bullets are valuable. However zombies can grab and instantly kill you if your HP is very low, so watch out on early levels! \ Aim for the head for much higher damage. Concentrating damage on arms or legs to rip them off is a good strategy too. Raider without arms wont do much to you. Besides running around and alerting enemies nearby, that is. \ Damage types are important. Ballistic damage is not efficient against turrets, melee against radroaches and so on. You need to figure out whats best for current situation. \ Develop and protect your settlements, put walls to protect generators and other important structures. Gear up settlers. Scraping and cleaning settlements is a good source of components. \ Try to fully explore the map, kill enemies and do all quests. Most loot and enemies wont ever respawn so this is your chance to find new secrets in Commonwealth. \ Good luck!

CHANGES

Combat, Enemies

• Enemies will flank, charge, take cover, run in fear, use and pick up ammo & weapons, swap to backup gun and so on.
• Headshots or weakspot hits do much higher damage than torso shots.
• Gun caliber greatly affects damage, explosives are powerful and damage type matters.
• Foes have special moves like biting and holding leg, wrestling moves, kicks. Dependent on enemy type and briefly stuns you. ### Sound, Graphic
• Sounds are less flat because of added reverb and other tweaks.
• Very dark nights with wide, helpful flashlight.
• Atmospheric lightning: beautiful light from lantern and fire sources, dusk, dawn, moon, plus bullets illuminate environment when flying around.
• No dreadful, annoying, unimmersive: combat music, hearthbeat, sounds of generators, turrets, exp gain sound, most perk triggers and perk chart. ### Crafting, Modifying
• Making/disasembling ammo and also creating various shipments. Upgrading clothes, rings, glasses in different ways.
• Legendary swapping, crafting legendary effects using technical documents. Some effects have been adjusted.
• Added crafting of new, lower damage explosives, but they have unique effects for ease of use. ### Perks, SPECIAL
• STR affects carry weight, PER accuracy, END is health, max AP, CHA for better prices, INT for more exp, AGI for sneak, walk and reload speed, LCK for small dmg boost, loot, critical hits outside VATS and while using it.
• Leveling up does not give you health. You rely on stats, bonuses, gear.
• Perks tree mostly changed, level 15 needed to start increasing Special base stats, level of around 100 to increase stat to 10. To get all perks you would need 300 levels, so new modified 'idiot savant' will help a lot.
• Collecting magazines, bobbleheads, companion perks is now more helpful and recommended.
• Some skills are changed, reordered, much more interesting and useful.
• More perks are needed for crafting, especially science perk is required for most technology related stuff.
• Lockpicking everything is available instantly from level one, but perks and AGI make it reasonably easier. Bobby pins are more rare.
• Hacking is simplified to not do the repeating minigame. Now holotapes to reprogram and override terminals might be of use. ### Settlements, Building
• Expensive build costs of robot workbenches, turrets, big generators, so buying component shipments is justified.
• You can hire guards for caps or risk settlers lives on the usual guard posts.
• Can't harvest planted fruit and veg, you get your fair share in workbench instead.
• Collecting resources by settlers changed. Bigger variety of settlers and they are now mortal.
• More objects to build and decorate your bases. ### Locations, Loot
• Items like meds and ammo are harder to find and exist in appropriate containers.
• New map markers and few minuteman towers as a small addition to explore.
• Quick travel available, but only to settlements.
• Only rare enemies like bosses drop legendaries. And many more...

• Go to Options, Sound and reduce ambience level by 5-8 clicks and reverb by 2-3.
• Dont forget to change camera sensitivity (I play on max), next go to Options, Display and change hud color to blue or any other that makes sense (not red), lower transparency by 30% or more, set pip-boy colour to your preference (I use red pip-boy and minty hud to have the best compatibility with highlighting perks and scopes).

Delete after leaving vault111 and saving (if you need mod list space that is). Add after mod #56. \ 104... Faster Positive Affinity For Companions - Removes cooldown between companions liking/hating your actions and gain five times more positive affinity.

Known issues, bugs, glitches, exploits: \

Some are present in unmodded game. I mention all problems I encountered in 100+ hours. - Ground textures in and around sanctuary flicker black. FIX: Quickly fixes itself possibly after you leave and come back. Its just one time glitch from what I've seen. - Cages (animal etc) cost too much in building menu. NO FIX: Did not found a safe and balanced fix yet, so cages are most likely out of reach. - Green chest containing flare gun and 10k flares after exiting vault 111. FIX: Mod dev forgot to delete it. Ignore it or if it bothers you much, remove mod #82, which I don't recommend doing. - Hubby Basement secret in Sanctuary. NO FIX: Its up to you if you want to use its content. Just easier difficulty option, but not game breaking. - Hacking 4 seems useless or has wrong description. NO FIX: Needs more testing. - Wall turrets sound sometimes glitches and plays on repeat. FIX: Re-enter the area or reload save. - Contact frag mines seems to have too low damage. FIX: Just dont craft them or use them to cripple legs. Rest of new explosives works fine even that it shows low damage values in description. - Perception low, constant (-1) PER in stats because of poison damage/resistance bug. FIX: Add mod #102 and equip perception rings. Dont delete the mod. Cant find safer solution for now. Rings dont take equipment slots. - Action girl perk have only one rank on female character and two on male. NO FIX: Just 25% AP regen loss at high level. Not a big deal. - Bubblegum seems to unintentionally quench thirst a bit and kind vendors give it for free. NO FIX: Its better to use it to slow time. Free candies. - Incorrect cost to build concrete foundations. FIX: Use mod #20 to add tons of foundations in newly added category Structures-Concrete. - OCDecorator replaces creation club menu. FIX: Items from CC are still available in other building categories. Ignore or delete mod #24 + #25 if you dont care about its function. - Few perk descriptions might be slightly incorrect or missing. NO FIX: Nothing important to worry about. - Three street lights, powered water pump, industrial purifier and subway light have incorrect build costs. NO FIX: These have wrong values, but items like clean sofa or tv are more expensive to build on purpose though. - Pip-boy light wont transfer from first to third person camera view. FIX: Turn flashlight off and on. - Water surface sometimes flash black when moving underwater. More visible with water mods. NO FIX: Its not very noticable and you don't dive much in FO4 anyway. - Flashlight in Vault111 has incorrect beam look/color. FIX: It will fix itself after mods load right after you leave Vault111, dont worry. \
v1.0 - Initial version. \

Have fun!

I’ll die on a steeper hill that Little Mix would have been ever more successful than they were after May 14, 2022/14 May, 2022 if they also dropped Modest and anyone associated with Modest (SAM COXY) after leaving Psycho. Jesy should have also left the group during LM5 as it was apparent that she stopped caring around this time with the increasing separately scheduled photoshoots and the further distancing from the girls. As for Sam Coxy, Perrie treats this woman as family and this may be a conflicting matter on a professional basis and I’d say the same with Sairah’s employment at Tap.
I don’t think that it’s unknown that there was conflict between the girls’ management, their UK label and their American label, Columbia. If it wasn’t already obvious, the girls’ UK team was exploiting them to be heavily localized cash cows. While Columbia seemed committed to push Little Mix in America, which would have broken them more into the global stage, their UK team had insidious intentions. And even after the girls switched to RCA, who also have a shifty reputation, they were still tied to Modest.
Salute is the girls’ worst performing album and that’s just facts. While LM5 is another fan favorite, was it a GP favorite? I don’t know the statistics too well but I do know that Glory Days is their best performing album. Was another LM5 really what the fandom wanted? It would’ve been more Salute, more No Hard Feelings style tracks and the Mixer fandom really hasn’t responded to Leigh’s solo music. Side, her team should probably start catering her to more friendly markets outside the UK.
Now, did the girls really “downgrade” after Confetti? I find this statement laughable because Little Mix as a brand, I would say Confetti was the most Little Mix album at LM’s peak, sonically and musically speaking. The only downgrades would be the sappy “MLWLYD” and that awful bridge of A Mess (Happy For You) also the low budget MVs and perhaps BUS shouldn’t have been the lead single. There was also COVID-19. Going back to my earlier point, Jesy really should have left sooner for her “mental health” bc she really isn’t anywhere on the album. Jesy’s insociability with the girls was at its peak during Confetti as Ellie stood in for Jesy in that photoshoot.
Also, the girls should have agreed to “Do It For Myself” as the lead single. Leigh-Anne wrote on it, all they needed to do was work around COVID for a better MV, assuming they were no longer tied to Modest and were the Jade, Leigh, Perrie OT3. They should have also kept Gone Is The Girl and scrapped Nothing But My Feelings.
Confetti wasn’t the girls’ downfall, their UK team was, their management especially was their pitfall. Around LM5, they lost so many international fans because they had lost hope in Little Mix touring outside UK/Europe/AUS/NZ. Little Mix failed to break into the US and properly into Latin America and Asia, LM5 was really their last chance. To make matters worse, the AUS/NZ leg for Confetti was cancelled and I don’t think they even announced European dates.

I am really bad in talking and socialising first, something which seems like a necessary step to survive now. So I hope to talk with anyone who is willing to create more connections, acquaintances and possibly friends. I'm open to talk to anyone of any age and gender or from any country of origin (I would like to exchange cultural thoughts and possibly learn new languages too)
Here are few likes and dislikes I have: - Animes, Cartoons, Webtoons, Mangas- have read a lot and watched a lot and can recommend you some of the best ones - Games- I play valorant and Csgo mainly, used to play many more like Apex, COD, Rocket league, GTA. and I love campaign themed games (favourite series being Assassin's Creed) - Movies and series- I have watched plenty of contents, so would be ready to talk about something you liked in a movie (possibly judge a movie together haha) - Kpop/Jpop/Cpop (also dramas) - loved them! Their plots, songs, crisp writing and so much more they have to offer to the world. - Arts - I am a sucker for any kind of art (be it painting or music or dance) and I genuinely want to learn more about its different forms - Technology - I am quite interested in AIML, Product management and Industrial Electrical sector. Working on a few projects too, if you wanna talk about it. Apart from that, cosmos, quantum physics, psychology (I have a weird abiltiy regarding this) and so much more.
My hobbies include: - cooking (fairly well in it) - photography (human portrait, nature photography, dog photos, you name it!) - painting (learning to draw digital portraits now, would love if you want your portrait made by me ahaha) - trekking and camping (love forest more than beach sorry) -reading books and music (not very vibrant taste in it, so would really like some recommendations)
Here's to a new friendship :)

STILL not able to add friend on PC
I haven’t been able to play Helldivers with my friend for a couple months now. He is on PC and I am on PS5. I bought the game to play with him, and when I first added him it worked great. Fast forward a few weeks, I accidentally pressed “remove friend” instead of “join game”. Since then, I haven’t been able to add him back.
When I search his friend code he shows up, but his name is grayed out. It lets me send the request, and sometimes he receives it, but cannot accept it. We’ve tried countless times. Now, all of a sudden, we have appeared on each other’s “blocked” list. There is unfortunately no “unblock” button when we select the username. Only the option to report the player.
We’ve both submitted numerous reports to Arrowhead Game Studios over the past months, and we have never gotten a response. It is very frustrating because I only bought the game to play with him. I don’t play the game now and feel I’ve wasted my money :(
If anyone has any possible ideas or suggestions, please let me know!

I have been trying to get ESPrecense to work for the past 2 weeks. For some reason the sensor just shows ( not home ):
sensor.samsung_s24_ultra_hinaSamsung S24 Ultra Hinanot_homedistance: null friendly_name: Samsung S24 Ultra Hina
As you can see it shows this even with the device right next to it.
Here is my configuration.yaml:
sensor:

• platform: mqtt_room

device_id: "954cbea513804bf225797e063a371bd6"
name: 'Samsung S24 Ultra Hina'
state_topic: 'espresense/devices/954cbea513804bf225797e063a371bd6'
timeout: 10
away_timeout: 60
After enrolling my device through fingerpirnts, ESPrecense shows my device as this:
s24_ultra_hinairk:954cbea513804bf225797e063a371bd6
But the fingerprints section shows 2 devices and it is something like this:
⬤ 1.16 m 0.02 m s24_ultra_hina S24 Ultra Hina 6dfa9f3f3262 -74 dBm -71 dBm 1088 ms
⬤ 1.21 m 0.02 m s24_ultra_hina S24 Ultra Hina 6480ea923c17 -73 dBm -71 dBm 775 ms
Now I have 3 devices with different ID's, some videos show the device id as starting with iBeacon, some with different things and I don't know which one to select.
I also have ble transmitter on and set to medium and very low I think ( in homeassistant)
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello all,
I am looking for an amazing woman who is 20+ in age that is interested in being friends with the intent of an LTR coming out of it if the connection is there. Let's mutually obsess over each other, spend lots of time together laughing, playing pc games, and watching shows/movies along with doing all the “cringe” couple stuff like having pet names for each other, matching pfp, and making everyone jealous with how lovey-dovey we are. Then in the future, we can take it IRL when the time is right so we are not purely online. I prefer if you were on the West Coast or Central because of time zones, and it will be easier to plan visits, but I don't mind if you are in another state as long as you are in NA and are willing to put effort into an LDR with the potential of us seeing each other eventually. I know physical attraction is semi important too, so I have no problem exchanging pictures early and if we end up not vibing, we can be close friends!
Some things about me: ➯ Mixed Asian ➯ Laid-back demeanor & chronic yapping ➯ Currently taking a break from college and focusing on work ➯ Loves music ➯ Naturally affectionate and highly value communication ➯ Loves TikTok/Memes and my humor is broken. I laugh at everything and at the wrong times. I like dark humor as well. ➯ Devoted and fully committed when in a relationship ➯ Loves the “cringe” couple stereotypes. From pet names and mutual obsession to matching profile pictures, we will make others envious of how affectionate and loving we are. I also lowkey like when a girl is clingy/obssessive/possessive.
When I'm not working, I'm playing games. My current main games are Valorant, Fortnite, FF14 (new), and League of Legends (peak masters)/TFT. However, I have many more that I periodically play, such as: Honkai Star Rail, BG3, WoW, Genshin Impact, Guild Wars 2, Eternal Return, Apex Legends (I'm new), Dead by Daylight. There are many games I want to play more of listed here, though. I also have different survival games and co-op games, such as It Takes Two. If you are interested, my DMs are open, and we can move to disc eventually. Please read the post and please only dm if we have main games in common & you want a potential relationship!

I’m going to try to get to the point with only the important details. I(34f) had a best friend(34f) of 20+ years. It was no secret that her and her husband were having problems. He’s an ass hole and he is emotionally abusive to her and her kids. I always supported her in doing whatever was best for her family. She cheated on him. He cheated on her. Woopty Doo. I didn’t support her cheating and she knew that, but I didn’t tell her husband. Anyway, about half a year ago he found out about her cheating. It was big and nasty, he was threatening to kill her, kidnap her and make her watch him fuck other women, crazy shit. He was acting CRAZY. I thought their painful relationship would be over. I was trying to give her all the support she needed. Told her I’d be there whatever happened between the two of them. A few days passed and she stopped talking to me. Then one day I get a call. The call is of her letting me know that she needed to take a break from our friendship for at least six months to work on her relationship with her husband. She couldn’t talk to him like she could me so I needed to be removed from the picture for them to succeed. I told her, hey, I support whatever it is that you think is best for your family and I wish you the best of luck. I hung up on her, and blocked her. In my opinion, that isn’t how friendships work.
Today I get a message from a random number asking if I could unblock them so we could talk. I had no idea who it was, so I asked. She told me her name and I didn’t respond. She then told me not to hate her. I told her I don’t, but I do hate her husband(but maybe I do honestly hate her to). She told me not to hate him either, that she had some shit to work out, and I let her know that was good for her. Now she’s asking if I’m really going to end our friendship for her doing what was best for her family?
I think yes. If removing me from your life is what is best for your family, that says everything about our relationship. I haven’t responded yet.
I came on here asking for advice on how to move forward. 1. Am I being an asshole or not? 2. Is it in my best interest to keep this person out of my life?
It is weird. I about to get married and thought of her recently and this happens. I feel confused on the situation.
Thanks for any advice.
TLDR my ex best friend wanted to cut me out for a few months to fix her relationship that I caused no problems in, I blocked her, and now she’s back asking to be friends again.
