Known Issues:

• When you fight near enemy village (when village militia joins in the fight against you) your game will crash after winning, you can continue via better exception window, then surrender to 0 enemies and be free, you won't get any loot, but won't lose anything and you can avoid villages most of the time anyway. Auto Resolve Rebalanced sends errors in log because of those fights i assume as well (not sure but it doesn't corrupt your game so it's fine)

I'd like some feedback on my mod list, if you think i've missed something essential or if you enjoy it as is. I've played it for a while and it was great, because of the bloodlust both companions and troops get stronger the longer you play, so even with op companions there might still be challenge for you yet.
I've been checking newly updated mods for bannerlord for a while and i think i got everything i wanted in my game.

I’m moving to the area this weekend and in need of furniture. I’ve found posts like these that seem mostly legit, but when all reviews of sellers are 5 stars (as well as the google profile reviews), I start to think maybe it’s not real.

This wild ride started 1 year ago when I read Peter's book and decided to start exercising and eating healthier. My original post 4-5 months ago was here: https://www.reddit.com/PeterAttia/comments/19d8wcg/lost_weight_but_cholesterol_went_up/
Fast forward to today, here are my data points and what has changed:
2019 - 2022 baseline: (measured annually)
TC - 230s
HDL - high 50s
LDL - 160-170
ApoB - only data point in 2019 was 118
HbA1C - 5.4-5.6
AST / ALT - 20/13 avg.
Jan 2024 - pretty much as described in the list above, I did 7 months of exercise, lost weight, low carbs, lots of meat, including red meat, keto diet. My lipid panal shot up through the roof, but HbA1C dropped like a tank.
TC - 300
HDL - 56
LDL - 235
ApoB - 140
HbA1C - 4.8
AST / ALT - 19/11
Needless to say, my physician wants me to start statins, they were tagging me with all kinds of labels like Familial hyperlipidemia. Primary wanted me to start with Crestor 20mg. I negotiated down to 10mg, then I took it down to 5mg myself because I felt very weak when on 10mg and also realized Asians are supposed to start at 5mg dose as recommended by Crestor. I also started serious diet changes that took out red meats and anything that had excessive saturated fat. 6 weeks later here are the results:
TC - 212
HDL - 56
LDL - 142
ApoB - Doc didn't order this
HbA1C - 5.2
AST / ALT - 20/13
We had good results for just 6 weeks, but it wasn't enough as doc wants to get LDL under 100. I know Peter cares way more on ApoB so I was just going to get that at next test. I was bummed that HbA1C went up, but happy to see my liver is handling the statin okay with normal AST / ALT. I requested to add Ezetimide 10mg to the treatment. Research has shown the combination of low-dose statin and ezetimide is more effective than a high-dose statin alone. I posted about this here as well. This is a great way to minimize potential side effect of statins. I figured adding ezetimide will get the final push to lower my LDL to below 100. I stayed the course on exercise and diet changes, still very minimal red meat and saturated fat. 3 months of this, here are the results I just got today:
TC - 114
HDL - 59
LDL - 47 (calculated), 40 (direct)
ApoB - still waiting on this, usually takes 2-3 days extra
HbA1C - 5.3
AST/ ALT - 24/18
Wow... I did not this coming. I genuinely think these are too low at this point and we overshot. Yes I know I should speak to my doctor about this and I certainly will. I am posting here to provide this very interesting data point. I know 1 case isn't enough to prove anything, but for me personally, this proved two things:

1. low dose statin and ezetimide works extremely well, no need to do a high-dose statin like the initial prescription.
   
2. diet has A LOT of effect on lipid panel, especially saturated fat intake.
   

I am now looking to reduce my medication. I know there are two extremes on this sub, one that loves statin and would take the highest dose tolerated by side effects while lowering LDL / ApoB to as low as possible, and the other side that will not touch any medication whatsoever. I'm really in between, I don't mind pharmaceutical help, but rather minimize it if possible. Here is what I think my options are:
A. Lower statin dose to 2.5mg with 10mg ezetimide. I would just cut the 5mg in half or take 5mg every other day.
B. Skip the statin and just take 10mg ezetimide only .
C. No medication at all.
I would do whichever option above for 3 months and test again. I am currently leaning towards option B. Tom Dayspring has said that a higher HDL in the 50-60s could mean someone is a hyper-absorber of cholesterol. Ezetimide blocks cholesterol absorption in the intestines. I know ezetimide has had mediocre effects alone for most people, but it really depends on the cause of high cholesterol.
Ezetimide works very well for hyper-absorbers, which is a low percentage of people with high chlesterol. If my lipid panel shoots up in 3 months, I could always add back the statin by going to option A. Ezetimide also has way less potential side effects vs. statin. Statin has shown to raise HbA1C and potentially AST / ALT. My HbA1C was definitely raised after starting statin, but this could also come from not as low carb as before.
Which options above would you recommend in my case ? (Yes I'm aware this is reddit and I should not seek medical advice here, this is just for discussion purposes for all of us that are interested in this topic and I will absolutely discuss with my doctor)

The perp was out on bail for years despite being credibly accused of serial rape.
Is it possible to find out which judge granted bail and if so does Mass have the ability to recall via referendum?

Hi all!
I came across a post in the sigma fp facebook community and came across something that irks me beyond measure.
Is it my understanding correct that the only way to monitor the sigma fp (in rec 709) is to use a atomos ninja (i gather the appeal for the EL zone) + Ole Berek luts?
I am currently the proud owner of bm VA 12g which i gather is useless for sigma fp if you want to monitor the colors and the DR of the sigma fp correctly.
I will copy the post in question.
So just wondering if i understood this correctly?
Looking forward to what you guys have to say :D

Ann sat on the table next to the first aid kit. She looked confused and responded in a subdued voice, "...how exactly do you fall out of a car?" Weston grabbed the alcohol wipe before Ann could reach it. There were at least a dozen zeds stalking around outside. Maybe more. The two of them were mostly secure as long as they didn't make any loud noises.
"It was cramped and the key was, well, sorta... the hiking bag maybe got hooked... I don't know," Weston sounded annoyed. "I fell out."
Before the apocalypse, Ann's whole life had been planned out. She was going to do an internship this summer. She was starting her last year of high school next year. She was planning to attend Louisville State University. Well, was, but she didn't know what to do now. Weston peeled back the dirty bandage and started cleaning the wound himself.
While Weston tended his cut, Ann examined it. His sleeve had been ripped off. The scratch was not too deep, but his arm and shirt were covered in blood. Mostly other people's blood, she assumed, provided you could even call them "people" anymore. The open wound was more intense than any of the images in her book, First Aid Volume I. Ann wanted to help, but Weston preferred to be self-sufficient in these situations. She had learned that much in their short time together.
Now thinking about it, Ann realized this was the first time they've sat down together since he saved her life. It must have been a week or two ago at this point. Ann still couldn't quite remember what happened. The book described it a "traumatic" experience.
trau-mat-ic. Adjective. Emotionally disturbing or distressing.
Synonyms: upsetting, horrifying, terrifying
Ann scoffed to herself. Her entire existence had became a never-ending trauma. One moment she was pinned down by a zed. The next, a crowbar swung out of nowhere and caved it's head in. Then she woke up in this maintenance building. The room was spacious, but full of large crates and random junk, making it rather cramp. It had a couple of entrances, but was otherwise unremarkable. The only window had a sheet over it. Since the power had went out almost a month ago, the room was shrouded in darkness except for the dim light cast by an old lantern.
Ann hated everything about this place. The boredom of sitting inside all day was excruciating. She felt trapped.
She couldn't take it anymore.
"Am I a prisoner?" Ann asked bluntly.
"What?" Weston was bewildered. "Umm... no. No, of course not."
"Well, then can I come with you on your–"
Weston interrupted her, "Absolutely not. You wouldn't be safe out there."
"Am I even safe in here?"
"The world is no place for a kid right now," Weston lectured her, " and you're lucky to be alive as it is."
"No. Look at your arm. YOU'RE lucky to be alive," Ann retorted, starting to raise her voice, "and I'm NOT A KID!"
"SHHH," Weston snapped in a harsh tone, "The Answer Is No. Period."
"SO I AM A PRISONER!" Ann yelled back, her face red with anger.
Thump. Ann gasped and covered her mouth.
Thump. Thump. The main door shook against the dead weight slamming against it.
"God. Dammit." Weston cursed under his breadth, "Is This How You Want To Die?" He hastily wrapped a ripped sheet around his arm and grabbed his crowbar. He rushed toward the side entrance.
Thump-Thump. Thump-Thump. The beating increased in frequency as a second zed joined the first.
Weston swung the side door open, revealing a small exterior area enclosed by a high metal fence. Another zed, alerted by the sudden movement, smashed itself against the chain links. Weston vaulted over the fence and darted around a corner before it could react.
Thump-Thump-Thump. Thump-Thump-Thump. More zeds joined in to smash the side door.
Ann fell off the table and landed on the ground. There. I can hide under there. She tried to crawl toward a nearby bed, but she was frozen with terror. Come on. Move. MOVE. Please move.
Swing. Swing. Push. Swing. Smash.
Thump-Thump. Thump-Thump.
The main door swelled under the pounding pressure.
Swing. Thump-Thump. Swing. Smash. Thump. Thump. CRACK.
The door burst into pieces. Scuffled footsteps poured into the interior.
Ann could hear the zed's heavy breathing on the other side of the crates. She squeezed her eyes closed, petrified with fear. The zed stalked closer and closer. Her heart was pounding so hard she could hardly take a breadth.
Weston dashed in through the main entrance and yelled at the top of his lungs, "HEY!" Several zeds turned and shambled full speed in his direction.
Swing. Swing. Smash. Brains splattered across the room, drenching the nearby crates in a chunky, dark ooze.
Weston bolted back outside. Ann could hear Weston continuing to yell frantically.
"OVER HERE!"
"Hey"
"over here"
"..."
""
The chorus of undead snarls faded toward the sound of Weston's voice.
Then silence.

Ann sat alone under the table, still too afraid to cry. Weston usually said the same thing every time he left: stay right there, be quite, and I'll be back before sunset.

She was exhausted, and so tired. So desperately, inhumanly tired. She closed her eyes, not able to stay awake any longer. So what if this is how I die?
