What will my child look like

Which Nokia and which KaiOs
Hi, I’m looking to add a Nokia phone as a secondary phone for myself. I’m in the US and have T-mobile. I need WhatsApp and Email. Otherwise I don’t care about camera, music, social media apps, etc. Which phone and which version of KaiOs seems best for my circumstance?
The 6300 and 800 Tough run KaiOs 2.5 which supports WhatsApp better, if I understand correctly. I’m not sure if either of these has an email app. Are they Google devices?
The 2780 flip is a Google device and has an email app but maybe doesn’t have WhatsApp?
Any help appreciated. Open to any model that will work with T-Mobile in the US.
In general I don’t care about KaiOs vs other OS’s, but AFAIK the Nokia native OS doesn’t support WhatsApp and doesn’t have an email app, right?

This is a long one and the details are important to the situation so there won’t be a TLDR. Let’s get into it:
I’m (32M) a real estate agent and a few months ago I went into an open house and met a lovely agent (31F) from another company. (Because of the nature of how real estate works, agents know other local people within the field possibly more so than in any other business. Two accountants at two different car companies probably will never cross paths, but two real estate agents at two separate firms almost certainly will, so this is an ever se slight “shitting where you eat” situation. Anyway.) We chit chat a bit and part ways. This happens a few more times until the third time I make a joke off a particular situation that was happening and she started dying of laughter (this was about 2 months ago). I friend requested her on instagram later that day and messaged her a continuation of the joke. We haven’t messaged much but we have liked a few of each other’s posts here and there and we’ve seen each other a few more times for work between then and now, having some banter each time.
Recently (about a week ago) I was at an open house she was sitting and when I walked in we greeted each other and she went for a hug. Not one of those polite one arm hugs you give to an acquaintance or that aunt you don’t like, a full double arm wrap around hug. We chit chat and she does it again as I’m leaving. I see her again yesterday and she does the same thing. We’re chatting a bit and I think of a movie I wanted to recommend to her but couldn’t think of the name but said I would text it to her. A few hours later I go to text her and realize I don’t have her number. I message her on Instagram instead and say “this is the movie I was talking about earlier. I was gonna text you but apparently I don’t have your number.” She responsds “Ahhh, I’m gonna have to watch it!” And then “lol it’s (number) in case you ever need”. I respond “I’ll have to think of a reason… maybe some more movie recs” as a cheeky light flirt. I text her a quick message saying “hey, here’s my number”. The next morning she thumbs up reacts to the text and then 10 minutes later she “likes” the Instagram message from the night before with the standard heart reaction when you like something on instagram.
What I am confused about now is if my light flirting was received well. In my head the like reactions feel cold but I might just be reading way too into it. What are some ways I can further test the waters?
I want to tread carefully with this, as no matter the outcome, we will have to see each other for work. Any advice and insight is greatly appreciated but please keep things positive.

I got into FFIE today after seeing it run up this week. I got 4000 shares at average of 0.98. I thought since it has grown 2000%+ already at that point this week, the shorts might try to push it down hence decided to sell 10x 5/17 1c (avg credit 0.27) and 30x 5/17 1.5c (avg credit 0.21) against the stocks I bought, also to benefit from the extremely high IV. But today the stock ran even further, sitting at 1.96 at the end of day. I am wondering if I should buy back the calls that I sold? If the price stays around the same at open I will need to pay around 2.5k to buy back the calls at open. Should I do that? I guess it would be well worth it if the stock is going to keep flying atleast tomorrow.
My total profit out of the trade right now (if, most likely, my shares are called away) would be 2.5k (5.5k + 900 - 3900) which isnt bad but I'll prolly miss out on bigger gains if the stock does run up tomorrow.
What do you guys think would be the best course of action here? Is there a chance for another 100%+ day tomorrow? I see for options chain all the current strikes expiring tmrw are ITM which could cause a gamma squeeze. Will we see the effect of this gamme squeeze tomorrow or in AH/monday? Also, tomorrow is friday so I am a bit worried about pre weekend selloff. Where do you guys think this stock will land up tomorrow, and next week, or even after that?

today is my birthday. I turned 23. I feel very alone right now. I’m not very close to my sisters anymore and the only person I have to talk to is my mom, but she seems barely interested in anything I have to say I don’t have any friends close, and distant friends. I don’t have anyone to reach out to if I needed to. I’ve been so alone for the past couple years a lot has happened. My mental health is completely completely I don’t have anyone to reach out to if I needed to. I’ve been so alone for the past couple years a lot has happened. My mental health has completely deteriorated into what feels like a husk of a person. I go to therapy, but I feel like I’m not making any progress. I get so anxious when I leave the house I get so anxious inside my house I get these panic attacks where it feels like I can barely breathe or think and I get extremely uncomfortable feeling in my chest the only thing that will help is to curl up in the fetal position with no lights or sound. I feel completely useless. I feel like everyone I know is embarrassed to be seen with me. I can’t trust myself or anyone around me. I don’t have any coworkers and I go to school online. I’ve tried meeting people online making friends but no one sticks around. I just don’t see a point. i feel so hopeless.

Hello,
I am looking for a song that I saw on a children's network (Probably PBS) that was centered around the Standford Marshmallow Experiment. It begins with an African American teenage woman that is inside of what looks to be an interrogation cell with a marshmallow on a plate and a timer counting down from 15 minutes above her head. I do not remember much else expect the scientist looks like (or very well may have been) "Bunsen" from The Muppets. The only line I recall is the puppet scientist singing in a monotone voice "If I was sitting in her seat, I sure hope that I would not eat." I do not believe this was part of an episode of anything as I am pretty sure some other show came on next, so I am pretty sure it was just an insert in between shows.
I remember seeing this in early/mid April of this year and for some reason I can't get the song out of my head. I have been searching on Google but to no avail :/

Looking for some feedback/advice.
So I'm considering a role as a biz dev rep in commercial construction for a GC in a specialized niche. They are essentially a start up sister company of a well known brand in their niche. They can do design, development and construction at the national level.
It's a brand new position and they've never had a "sales" guy before. My background is in real estate adjacent sales (inside sales, recruiting, residential land acquisitions and development) for the same employer over 9 years but I was always the first sales guy in each of the three business units I worked in so that part doesn't scare me.
I am however having trouble conceptualizing what realistic OTE and KPIs would look like. They want someone who excels at cold calling so that's a ✅ for me. Besides looking for opportunities with large players in their niche, I have a feeling that the majority of my time should be focused on cold calling architectual design firms and developers to try and get on their bid list when a project comes up. And of course networking on LinkedIn. But outside of that I'm not sure where I would place the bulk of my focus.
With their pay structure ($40K-$60K base + 1/2% of gross contracts) I'd likely need to get the opportunity to bid on 20 projects a month if their bid hit ratio isn't any better than 10% and their average deal size ends up being on the lower end.
Does 20 bids a month sound remotely realistic in the GC world?
Are architects generally open to new bidders?
Bonus points of anyone has any great advice on how to scrape Google for approved site plans or knows of a company that sells data for city or county plans in the works.

So I'm on Chapter 3 on legend difficulty, and I'm wondering if It's even do-able at my level? I decided to just start it at level 64 to see whether or not It's possible, thinking that, worst case scenario, everything will be like level 70+ so I can just tough it out and get some easy EXP to get myself at the level they need me at. Nah, everything is low level, but their health, damage, and all of that is balanced for higher levels.
So is it pretty much impossible to gain EXP on Legend difficulty, and if you're not already high level, you're going to get curb stomped no matter what?

Every time it rains my driveway puddles like this. My ignorance tells me that a french drain where the bricks are is possible, but it looks like there's a sewer line under the brick, so digging might create a new quagmire. What are my options to prevent the puddles? Would tearing up the brick and putting a few inches of gravel suffice..? Please advise...

My father passed away in October 2023 and left some property, including his residential home to me and 3 other siblings. After finally settling his legal obligations I now need to liquidate the assets and fulfill the matters of the will (money to cousins, neighbors, friends etc.)
Into: I would like to keep the residential home (located in Southern California, valued at 950k) and “buy out” or pay my 3 siblings the split breakdown cost. Ideally, I would simply like to tell the siblings the property was sold at market value and not give further information about who purchased the he property (which would be me).
Note: My father took out a 250k refinance loan on the house before passing.
Question: What’s the math breakdown here considering the loan, the 4 siblings (heirs), real estate fees, or title transfers??
Would a quitclaim deed be the best option to avoid fees or real estate expenses??
Do me and my siblings have to worry about or consider capital gains taxes or fees?
In order to pay out my 3 siblings for their share of the property, what type of loan would i need to apply for?? Do I need to have money as a down payment or would the estate itself be used as collateral as a “refinanced mortgage”
I apologize if my questions are ignorant, but I have no idea what this process is and who I need to hire to facilitate things or what to do in order to transfer the property and payoff the siblings in a timely manner.
My dumb math is: House value 950k - 250k (refinanced loan) = 700k . 700k split 4 ways = 175k . Loan needed to payout 3 siblings = 525k (how much fee or taxes should be considered?)

I had a game I played during my childhood around 2013-15. It was a 2d platformer type game (possibly horror) where you are in a dark environment, which is almost ink like. It was very ominous and mysterious. The land around me was empty except for some spikes. There were no people anywhere. Your character looks like a black cat. It has pointed ears and a tail. But no clear facial features. It stands on two legs. As this cat you avoid red spikes coming from the ground using a joystick. I believe there were also cliffs and sharp edges to navigate. I remember you can slide off the edges and your character would put its hand on the cliff and its tail would move in the opposite direction. I think there were checkpoints. I don't remember what they looked like. If you died it would turn into black dust and go to your last check points or spawn. The cat in every level collected something. Probably to unlock the next level. I know this is hard to go off of but I hope someone finds it. Keep in mind, I played this game on an amazon fire kindle kids tablet 3rd generation. If anyone wants me to clarify just ask.

My apologies in advance if this is long. I was in an abusive relationship/marriage for 23 years. This incident happened when we were still friends. If I had I only known the truth when this had originally happened, I would have been saved from decades of emotional, psychological, verbal, physical, sexual, and physical abuse. (And currently post-separation abuse).
The cast: me, my ex Bub (Beelzebub), my ex-crush B, Bub's gf M, Bub's bf V (It will make sense when you read it.)
TW: Suicide, self-harm, abuse
We met through a mutual friend. We became really close really quickly. He was 17 and I was 19. We would talk for hours about anything and everything. I was raised around domestic abuse, and my family was highly dysfunctional. I suffered severe trauma as a child being raised in this environment with an abusive father and brother. (His namesake). By the time I met Bub, I had been having mental health struggles for many years. To deal with the trauma I still suffered from I would self-harm by cutting frequently. I also had been in a psychiatric hospital twice for suicide attempts. I told Bub about all of this, and he knew that I still did it. He was very supportive and would get really sad when I harmed myself.
Since we were just friends we would talk about our crushes. He had a crush on a girl from high school and I had a crush on one of my ex's B, who was also my high school crush. We only dated for 3 weeks, and we decided we were better as friends then lovers. Though we did have a FWB thing going on when we were both single. He really talked up his crush and I really talked up mine.
Two months into our friendship he got a gf. He told me she was a girl he knew from his home city named M. He claimed her mother would babysit him and his brother. He really talked this girl up. She was into all the same things as him. He said she had beautiful red hair, D breasts, liked the same books, movies and music as him. (Yes, he bragged about these things, as disgusting and corny as it sounds now). I was starting to believe he talked her up to make me jealous, which it honestly did. However, I knew it was petty jealousy and I was very happy for him and expressed that to him.
I don't know whose idea it was for her to start communicating with me, but she started emailing me to get to know his best friend (me). I was totally cool with this and was excited to get to know her. Before I know it, she starts getting really nasty with me for no apparent reason. It really upset me. My natural impulse at the time when I was upset was to cut. It was a maladaptive coping mechanism I had for years, and I did it when I was really upset. I explained this to him, and he said he would talk to her. He showed real concern I was harming myself and he also wanted her to stop.
So, he told me he had talked to her, and she had told him she would stop harassing me for no good reason. I really assumed she was jealous and let her know there was nothing to worry about. We were friends and he had a much longer history with her. She didn't stop. She continued to say the vilest and f'd up things to me, including making crass and insensitive comments about my suicidal ideation and self-harm. Naturally I was really upset and cut myself pretty badly. I still have the scar.
This basically went on until they broke up a month later. He said she was doing heroin, and he was vehemently against drugs. He said that they had a good friend that died of an OD, and he couldn't be with her if she was going to do that. It was over. She never contacted me again.
Not long after that B (my ex-bf) had come back from bootcamp. I spent a good deal of time with him while he was on home for leave for two weeks before he shipped out overseas. We decided in that time that we would no longer be FWB because I was starting to have feelings for Bub. Me and Bub started dating right after that. He ended up telling me that him and M didn't really date, and he had only told me that to make me jealous. AHA! I was correct!
So, I asked to meet her. He was a bit hesitant at first, but he finally agreed. At this point his bf V from his home city was dating her. It was the perfect opportunity to meet her as like a double date. I will say, at that time in my life I could be possessive and jealous. Not proud of it, but I was young and immature. I ended up treating her pretty snidely because of this.
One night we were out with them, and Bub got into a car accident. We ended up having to call his dad for a ride home. When we got to his home, his dad was contemplating letting them sleep there. I whispered in Bub's ear that I was not okay with his ex-gf sleeping at his house. She overheard me tell him this. She pulled me aside and told me they never dated. WHAT? I was furious. Bub made eye contact with me, and by the look on his face, I could tell he knew what she told me. The ride back, to drop them at home in his dad's car, was uncomfortable to say the least.
After he dropped them off, I confronted him. His explanation was I was so pushy to meet her, but he knew how jealous I could be, so he didn't want to actually introduce me to the real M. Ends up V was dating a girl with the same name. I felt so stupid and betrayed. I wanted to end it, but he seemed so remorseful I ended up giving him another chance.
Well, the years go rolling by, and I hear no more about this girl who he was so close with, in the past. Bub was a very charismatic person with a lot of friends. He never stopped speaking to friends permanently and they would come in and out of his life. I found it a little odd that there was no mention of her but didn't think much else of it. I also never really formally met her.
Then Facebook became a thing. He ended up being friends with every person he had ever known. Except her. I would bring it up and he would always have some excuse. We ended up moving in with his brother in 2015. I wasn't really around his brother a lot, so I never got a chance to talk to him at length. I remember at one point I brought her up. I was just so curious at the mystery girl and wanted to see if he was still in touch with her. He told me he didn't know what I was talking about. He said his mother never left them with babysitters and only worked when they were in school.
"What does that mean," I'm thinking. WTF does that mean? I brought it up to Bub and he told me she only babysat a few times so his brother probably forgot. But this didn't sit right with me. He had told me that she would babysit them frequently. He denied ever saying the frequency. What could I do but believe him? It had been almost 15 years by that point. That's a long time to keep a secret like that. Surely, he was telling me the truth. I dropped it for good.
We get married that year. We had a child the next year. We had a stillborn a year after that. All this time until 2022, I started feeling really uneasy about our relationship. I started suspecting that his behavior towards me was abusive.
Sidenote: I didn't include all the abusive behaviors in this post, as it would be a novel if I did. I'm simply recalling the events around the catalyst to my descent into hell.
By the end of 2022 I was broken. I had gotten my first of what would end up being 3 TROs against him. I dismissed the first two. (The second was a dual, as he set up a situation that created the need for me to defend myself. He claimed I wasn't defending myself. That's a story for another day). After the first two, I was still so desperate to salvage my marriage with my eternal hope that he could change. I was just so broken by then I didn't think I deserved any better, and no one else could possibly want a worthless, pitiful broken mess like me.
The summer of 2023, while laying sleepless in bed, the memory of M flashed through my mind. I started remembering details I had long forgotten. Why did I never meet her? Why was she never his friend on Facebook? Why had neither of them reached out to each other? I had met every person he talked about, or he was at least friends with them on Facebook. Why not her? Why did his brother not remember? Why did he say M's mother babysat them all the time? I KNOW he originally said that damn it! Why was her email address, at only 17-years-old, her first and last name? 17-year-olds don't use their names like professionals. They call themselves sparklybutterflies86 for christ's sakes! This was all going through my head.
The next day I confronted Bub. I will paraphrase to the best of my memory:
Me: Was M real?
Bub: I thought this had been settled already.
Me: No. No, it hasn't. You told me your brother just did not remember her and that was the last I spoke of it.
Bub: Deadpanned looking me right in the eye "No. She wasn't real. I thought you knew this by now."
I can't really remember what I said at that point, but it was a lot of "how the fuck could you do that? and other expletives. His excuse was he was an insecure teenager, and he was jealous of B and how much I talked about him. A fucking insecure teenager. Talking up his high school crush didn't make me jealous, so he made up a gf.
He pretended to be a gf, who went on to harass the shit out me. Which caused me to be so distraught that I cut myself. He knew I was harming myself and he kept on doing it. I still bare the fucking scar from that time. He involved a poor innocent girl that I was fucking terrible to. Not to mention the fake story of a friend that Od'd. And his excuse for this deranged, diabolical, INSANE fucking shit was, "I was an insecure teenager." No fucking big deal, right?
23 years. Two kids. One alive and one deceased. 23 years of complete and utter psychological annihilation with this man.
If only I had known.
If you have come this far, thank you so much for reading. I left him for good October of last year, and I have never felt more free.

Hello, I am looking for a longterm duo and friend. If you are looking for the same, I hope you read the whole post. I type alot in the interest of not wasting anyone’s time.
I play almost every genre. Im hoping to find someone that likes more than one or two games and knows what they like. I often find people that are “down for anything” but not excited about anything. I want someone who is as excited to play as I am. Some games that I currently would like us to play are:

Path of Exile (I play every League, its currently my main game and I’m happy to teach it)
Escape from Tarkov (Coop Pve for now, not looking to do pvp again til wipe. Im a retired Sherpa with several thousand hours)
Borderlands 2 (Always down for a new play through)
V Rising (Pve focused)
Project Zomboid
RimWorld
Ready or Not
Helldivers 2
Coop story/horror games
Fallout 76
Battlebit Remastered is pretty fun
Ive heard good things about elden ring coop mod but havent tried it
Smite (Not league or dota)
Hunt Showdown if anyone wants to teach it to me
Grayzone/ Arena Breakout when they get more polished
Fortnite/Pubg occasionally

There are alot more so feel free to ask anything. Please do not message and just say you wanna play one game. Im looking for a permanent duo for many games, not an evening of just helldivers.
For availability, I am gaming 8-12 hours a day. I don’t work. I don’t expect that from you, but I am looking for someone who will want to play a few hours a day on most days. If you only play weekends, I don’t think we will be a good match. I am very flexible with scheduling and communication is most important to me.
I do ask for age 20+ and NA replies only for ping reasons. Would use discord voice chat.
If you made it this far, then I imagine you are looking for a similar thing. If we have similar game interests and availability, drop a comment or send me a message. Tell me about yourself. We can discuss what game we want to start on, games we have in common etc. If we don’t match up well, that’s okay also. I wish you the best on your search as well.

The game is new player friendly, I have a lot of experience introducing players into different TTRPGs, so you can expect patience and understanding, as me and possibly my friend help new players learn how to play DnD 5e and use FoundryVTT to the best of our abilities.
The campaign is set in a world of renaissance inspired where after a great war the age of exploration has begun and people just started colonizing newly discovered lands, the titular Unending Expanse.
Tame the wild lands, that haven't been touched by men, or so you were told. After something has happened in your life you decided to give it a chance and embarked on a ship, that sailed towards the Unending Expanse, maybe running form something, maybe seeking a new life or just for fun. You wouldn't probably afford this normally, but you've picked a contract form a lesser known mercenary company that wanted you to escort a group of settlers on their journey towards the future settlement.
The campaign is for morally grey characters, that are willing to take risks and morally dubious decisions, for their own gain or to make sure the plan succeeds.
Don't prepare characters beforehand, because we'll be using mostly homebrew character options including classes, subclasses and spells. Despite that, the game is new player friendly and I'll gladly help new players learn the game in their own pace.
The game is mostly sandbox with a few central quests, but I'm used to running sandbox games including players in the world building allowing players to express themselves thru in game decisions and making their choices really matter and build world that they inhabit.
I'm looking mostly for mature players, that are over the age of 18, because the game will be adventure with horror elements and difficult decisions, so I need players, that will be ok with that and will understand a difference between real world and fiction. If there is something you would like omitted form the game, then probably my game is not for you, cos I often mention difficult topics, but I try to stay tactful.
We'll be using FoundryVTT, but you need no prior knowledge, I'll do on-boarding as good as I can.

I've been with my bf for two years now. We are both in our late 30s, divorced with kids. About six months ago he cheated on me with a guy he met on some dating app. I never knew he was curious about guys. He said he'd been curious but no longer is interested, that it didn't feel comfortable for him. But they did engage in oral sex and he ended up with an std. The only reason I found out is because he had symptoms of the std he was telling me about not realizing what it was and then he went to the doctor and told me. I kept asking him where he would have contracted that till he finally told me. He said it was a one time thing and that he had felt really upset and distant during a busy time in my life which was combined with me not being ready to move in together which lead to him searching for companionship I guess. After some time I agreed to continue to move forward and see how we could fix it.
In some ways I feel like we have been able to move forward and in others I'm struggling. Like intimacy has been really hard for me, I have almost no sexual desire which was not the case before. I find myself questioning and doubting little things. Like he places his phone face down one day and I'm thinking he's hiding conversations. (I don't know if he is but I've convinced myself he is.) We haven't really talked about it since the month it happened but for me it feels like I think about it a lot. Some days it feels like he confessed and it was just behind him but here I am still living with it. He has recently started talking about moving in together again and I feel like this has triggered all sorts of thoughts. I don't want to move our kids in when I still am working on trusting him again. But I'm also thinking last time we started having these conversations he got to the point he cheated.
Its so hard because there were no other red flags till this one. He is great with my child, my family loves him, he takes care of me. I just don't even know where to go from here. I'm not even sure what I'm looking for with posting this but I have no one I feel comfortable talking to about this so advice maybe? (And yes this is a throw away because my main account has way too many identifying posts.

I was finally forming actual friendships with new people and I started to become more "interesting",but at the end of this semester,people are literally just ignoring me. Not liking my stories,talking,they're more rude,they don't even wanna say hi to me. And I did absolutely nothing wrong,i am just FRIENDS with them and sometimes talk,and when we do it's never that serious,just some school talk. I fucking hate it.
But you know what I hate more,the fact that I constantly get put down,I can't count how many times. Today,my friend found a profile of a girl his ex is following,and she made some fucking rude ass comments that even i was ashamed of. One was that she had a pig nose,and my other friend(who I got tired of because of these same backhanded "jokes") said I have the same nose and laughed so hard,you'd think we became fucking stand up comedians. And the other friend just kept quiet then said how she has a more up turned nose,and how the girl should correct it before trying to like her ex.
Yknow what,maybe I do have a pig nose,maybe I'm bald,fat,but at least I don't say all kinda of shit to people's faces.
Not only that but that same girl is shaming herself,going out with a guy who most definitely making fun of her and using her,but she ignored it because she wants to look like she has someone,while actively making fun of me for my failed attempts. Recently I tried to get with a guy,and he got back with his ex in one day,and she is constantly asking me "what's with you and ___?" Only to laugh when I say that he has a girlfriend
Like alright,I'm not attractive,I'm not interesting,I'm weird. Just get it over with,I'm just FINE knowing I'll be living with cats at 40 because absolutely no one wanted me

I have a Craftsman 917.252590 riding mower. Bought it used a couple of years ago. First mow of the season this year, I tried to engage the blades and it killed the mower completely. The whole time we've owned it, it's taken a minute between pulling the switch and the blades engaging but it's never killed the motor. No problems after that.
Second mow, the blades just stop in the middle of my front yard. I tested for voltage at the plug that goes into the PTO clutch while my husband sat on the mowe and engaged rhe switch. It was getting power, so I assumed it has to be the clutch if the switch is sending power. Replaced the clutch last Saturday, hopped on, and the blades kicked on right away. Awesome! But then maybe 10 minutes in, they die. Then they come back on, then they die. I swear sometimes it was like someone had a remote control to mess with me because they'd die right before I got to some unmowed grass.. finally I gave up and parked it.
What do I even begin to check? Google is saying the switch or the seat switch. The user manual I found online says mine should have a seat switch but I think one of the previous owners have bypassed it because I've been able to get up with it in park and go move a toy or trash and it continues to run.
Now as I'm typing this out, I wonder if it's not the switch because I never gave the old clutch a chance to come back on like I did this new one. I just parked it immediately. Could a faulty switch cause the whole mower to die when trying to engage the clutch?
Sorry I'm all over the place. It's my first mower at my first house and I can't afford to have someone look at it for me.

Hi guys.
I started working out around the end of september of last year. I figured i just wanna get fit, stronger, look a little better. Not to mention exercise is good for the mental too.
Shit is working out pretty well for me. I am 191cm (6 foot 3-ish) and started off at 79kg (174-ish lbs (i believe)) and since monday of last week my weight has consistently hovered on or slightly over 85kg (187-ish pounds). I tend to not stick with the idea that im a certain weight until my weight has consistently hit a number over about a week and a half or so...yaknow, accounting for whatever variance there may be. So i just weigh myself first thing in the morning by stripping down right after my morning piss and shit.
My weight has always been pretty stable, bodyfat percentage too ( as far as the eye can tell at least).
Now my diet has changed fairly little. I eat meat with every meal, and since i started working out i just make sure i prepare a bit of extra meat. I also eat a small bowl of rice (75 grams) before every workout and i have a protein shake daily.
All in all i dont just consume calories for the shits of it in order to put on some general mass.
I go to the gym about 5 times a week, sometimes 3 or 4 times if its a particularly busy week.
Now i do wonder: i feel like i have put on quite a bit of (muscle)mass for just around 8 months of working out. And i started wondering if i should worry about how much of this mass is from water retention and/or fat gain? What little fat i did have on my lower abdomen for example seems to be less present so i dont think i necessarily gained fat.
But is the only way to find out reliably through stuff like DXA-scans and hydrostatic weighing? Should i worry at all considering my diet has only changed in terms of upping mainly protein intake and scooping up a bit of carbs before a workout?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Also feel free to ask for any additional details about my workout or diet if needed. Thanks!

Greetings!
I'm looking for a bit of advice on which bid to go with for my driveway.
Quick background: My city is redoing the road, curbs and drains in our neighborhood and have contracted with a company to do so. That company uses another company to contract for the asphalt. I'm paying extra to have my entire driveway re-asphalted since it's old, cracked and sags in spots due to all of the clay beneath it and because the original contractors didn't let it settle at all.
My question: I can either go with the bid from the city's contractors, which is 6 inches of gravel and 2 inches of asphalt or with a different contractor, which is 6 inches of gravel and 3.5 inches of asphalt + some kind of edging between the asphalt and my grass. Both bids would involve the base settling for at least 2 weeks (one as a matter of policy and the other because it will take them 2+ weeks to get out here to pave).
The difference in cost is unclear to me at this point due to how the city is billing us for the curb and the section of driveway that has to be removed. I thought the city bid was only $1,000 cheaper but now it could be as much as $3,500 cheaper. I have to figure out those details and decide by tomorrow morning at the latest.
TL;DR: How much of a big deal is the 2 inches vs 3.5 inches of asphalt? At this point in time, we don't park any vehicles in our driveway, and don't own anything larger like a truck, etc.

Seen: Season 9
Stepping back, I go all the way to the magical age, I wait for things to happen and allow the gods to destroy the world but instead I let myself be known to them, giving my greetings and sucking ass to the destruction god. The difference between the original is that I stick around for the aftermath after getting myself some elixir of eternity, talking and getting along with Salem until and making her think I am a manifestation of the mind and make sure she doesn't go inside the pool of destruction, but ultimately leaving her alone at the last legs of the journey so she can fall in later without my positive influence.
When Ozpin is reincarnated, I once again wait for him to begin moving and meet Salem, I then allow them to fight and return for my misdirection technique where I trick Salem, giving Ozpin enough leverage to get the girls out. I then lay the guilt on, HARD, about how she killed her own daughters and how she could have died millenniums ago if not for her pride and ego, being 1000x worse than her father. In the event this mental manipulation solves the problem and she admits her mistakes then yippee, but, otherwise, I continue with my plans by hiding the children and allowing them to find relationships while I continue researching the grimm. I take them to the lower islands on the map, clear out the grimm and use my own which I would either have tamed or learned how to herd and fake extreme grimm density. Slowly I build my population and selectively breed the people to be taller, stronger and not alter Ozpin's reincarnation cycle by using my own stock. When we start reaching modern stuff, I kill Cinder before she has the chance to take half of Summer's powers and allow Pyrrha to possess the half-dead corpse. I would have also come out at some point, possibly with my men, to continue the heavily guarded city beyond the mountains, using it as an emotional sponge to massively decrease the grimm population. Meanwhile, over the years and well after exploration had finished, the other islands in the south near Vacuo would have been cleared out and populated. Using these islands, a lot of resources would have been sent to Menagerie so their paradise/asylum/home was more than a tropical tourist spot with terrorists. Similar events would be done around the world like expanding Atlas with a city on its Eastern side that exploited the same deep dust veins.
Come the attack at Beacon, well that is simply an event that shouldn't be stopped, instead, the forces were to be relocated elsewhere and when everyone left with plot significance the soldiers could come in and clear out the rest. The story would continue until the ladies got to Atlas, at which point the plan to leave the planet would be progressed while I take the knowledge wish granter, killing Salem's agents and allowing Atlas to safely leave orbit while the spacial bridge was opened for the people under Atlas. Finally, entering the 9th season, I jump down and eat the time fruit, giving Jaune a wink as I surpass him and vanish to the beginning. Watching the gods grow up, I capture their destroyer and teach them responsibility before beating the shit out of them, knowing that their journey of discovery will force them to repeat their mistakes. With what needed to be accomplished done, I take the leaf and get behind Jaune once more so I can go exploring, collecting and learning. Once I have seen all I possibly can, I end up back at the tree using the leaves and go to the present, saving the cat and the demon for my trump card, modifying the lamp to hold them and give the cat the answers it wanted while making the demon more humane and able to change his size. I then once again leave team RWBY and friends with the cat and demon by my side with a bunch of leaves and a seed.
Now back and ahead of the story, I reconnect with my people, happily hearing how things have gone as directed and that Atlas has positioned itself above Vacuo, sending down massive amounts of resources upon request and establishing an inter-planetary defence network that utilises mechs, asteroids, lasers and drop pods. The best part is that after getting the help of the Tree, the final part of my plan has been completed where I reveal myself, showing off my army of faunus, silver-eyed, semblance-using, magic users. The best part is that the Tree wasn't just used for a time skip and secretly helped complete my final form.
Like Salem, her immortality allowed her to be drenched in grimm energy which would have eroded anything else, giving her control and partial traits, as well as a liking for destruction. But the truth of the grimm component is that it is like Venom from Marvel and has the opportunity to harmonise cells as free parts that work with even greater determination and vigour. Mixing it with a body is hazardous and wouldn't have the intended effect and using an immortal simply creates a balance because there is no means of contention. But since I spent the time gaining pawns and researching dust, I would have finally been able to conduct a hybrid formula of dust and grimm that could be injected into exceptionally strong individuals or immortals with a proper synchronisation rate. As for the cat, it offered the potential to enhance things even further by using its supernatural and reality-defying powers to simulate a consciousness for the grimm-dust cells that merged with my immortal ones, allowing the new mind to be absorbed and enhance my abilities over my own body. As for the demon and leaves, they have a different purpose, one that others thought wasn't needed when Salem arrived after a while with her flying gorilla and dragon fleet with a bit of native desert-type grim and migrating herds. When they came, using the satellite array and infinite powers of creation to create defences only made up in a child's imagination, also using Penny and her ice abilities to clear out and flatten desert mounds. Speaking of Penny, her soul project was mass-produced using those of a good nature, meanwhile, Penny became like the director or big sister to all the other androids with their cybernetic superpowers. Something that would be a massive help against Salem's latest onslaught of epic and never-ending hellfire and rattlesnakes. Eventually, Salem would be beaten and cornered where she would be sealed and imprisoned thanks to the combined efforts of everyone, making an overwhelming last-stand victory. But Salem's wishes wouldn't go unfulfilled and she would get to see part of what she wished for desperately, seeing the gods descend upon the world where they would be met with me. If you were properly reading by now, you would know I gave these gods PTSD once I showed my maddened face and gave them a roast about their failings as gods and abandonment of their creations before talking about the philosophies and sophistry for why humanity should live by mentioning everything, from our flaws to our cute quirks to our outstanding commitments. The gods would be made to seriously consider as they were buttered up by their shrines being decorated and freshly offered offerings. Finally, though, what would be the final straw is the tea which would have the leaves pushed into their mouths, bringing them back to the Tree for sorting, alls all that ends well
