2024.06.01 13:11 EqualPresentation736 Why Is My Python Script Failing to Add All Liked or Watch Later Videos to a Newly Created YouTube Playlist?
I'm trying to write a Python script that creates a public YouTube playlist and populates it with either my liked videos or watch later videos so I can share it with my friends. While the script successfully creates the playlist, it only adds one or two videos, or sometimes the playlist remains empty.
Here's the situation:
submitted by EqualPresentation736 to learnpython [link] [comments]
Here's the situation:
- The script creates the playlist without any issues.
- The playlist is often empty or contains just a couple of videos instead of all my liked/watch later videos.
- It seems there is some sort of mistake preventing the script from reading all the videos and storing them in the playlist.

2024.06.01 13:10 CarEnvironmental7540 Horny Mallu guys are ruining it for everyone!
I was under a huge stress for last few days and I thought of having some fun by harmless flirting. Well, dating apps are not so good for flirting without giving hopes.
So I thought of snapchat. I never use that app because the veryconcepts of it doesn't fit my social media needs. Anyhoo I posted some stories and boom! Friend requests started to accumulate. ( Yeah social media is easy for us women ).
And this guy with "nair" vaal send me some texts. The usual kinda but his pictures looked good š. We just introduced each other and then suddenly he asked "are you a virgin ". I wasn't shocked or anything because we get many "send bobs and vagana" msgs. So I replied " No, I'm not, but why do you think its okay to ask random people" He said "Why do you think its okay to tell a random guy" and that put some smile onmem I replied " I don't care about sharing such details to anyone " and he texted " I do want to care you" Tbh I was kinda amused by his reply.. It was a good save.
The minute I want to continue the conversation he said somthing like " actually I like it that you're experience " and that was enough
I texted him " thats it man, peace out"
He replied. " I WANT SQUEEZE THAT "
Ewwwwww!
I blocked and unistalled snapchat itself. š„“

2024.06.01 13:10 Enderking90 [Online] [PF1E] [GMT +3] a player with some experience with PF 1E is looking to play it more and learn more.
greetings! as said in the title, I'm craving to experience playing more 1st edition of pathfinder.
I'm 21+ in terms of age, and when it comes to familiarity with the system is... well, I'm more or less familiar with it? though there's still a lot for me to really learn.
in terms of time, I've been playing for like couple of years it now in a couple of games? beyond that, my TTRPG familiarity is largely with 5E which I've played for handful of years now.
in terms of gameplay, I prefer a mix of combat and RP, with a bit of a leaning to combat.
when it comes to the setting, I generally like the usual medieval fantasy-ish, high magic stuff. y'know, basic stuff. not that I'm not down for other stuff, mind you.
as for time slot wise, I'm paradoxically actually way more busy during the weekend then during the weekday.
for like, the lines and veils stuff, I don't really have anything that eeks me out or like that? closest is maybe like... graphic eye mutilation? idk.
oh, and I'm a guy, he/him? I guess that's something to mention?
honestly I am not good at self-introductions, never have been, so sorry about the sub-par quality... but if there's anything that's left unclear, I'd be more then happy to answer any and all questions you might have?

2024.06.01 13:09 DEATHTOMPLA Project Zomboid Journal Entry (week1) (some stuff is up for interpretation but yes i am using superb survivors) also my bad abt grammar or spelling mistakes, its written like a human, not a robot.
 | 09/11 submitted by DEATHTOMPLA to projectzomboid [link] [comments] 3:10pm: Killed janette, she lives next to me. She looked horrible, her face was peeling and she looked like a corpse. She lunged towards me and scratched my chest with her long nails. What is going on? Now I am just trying to find food, and other things. I want to bunker down and wait this out. Is anyone else even "alive"? 5:50pm: Just came back, sorted and organised some loot. Going back out, to look for survivors. 6:30-7:10pm: Went over to jasons shop (pawn shop), found some good stuff there. Went upstairs and found him in the same state- as Janette. Had to do what i had to do.... 10/11 8:50am: Ate breakfast, watched the news, read a cookbook. what is going on? 12:30pm: Went to see if gregs doing okay. he wasnt. ill miss him. 1:00pm-9:00pm: Made some chicken and rice for lunch and dinner. Mainly stayed inside and read some books about first aid. Though i did find a machete, ice pick and a few other things i could use to defend myself... Time to go to bed. as Janette. Had to do what i had to do.... 11/11 8:10am: Woke up terrified, had a smoke and a beer, i feel better now. Im going back out to look next door for any supplies or hopefully survivors. 12:40pm: Still havent seen anyone, went to the deep fried place across the road and found some food that i can cook up. had to kill another "person". there is a weird smell everytime i step outside. 1pm-3pm: Went to the pharmacy, got supplies, now im back at home having lunch, and am going back to get the rest of the supplies. im very tired. 5:00pm Just went to the bakery and nearly died by a horde of "people" in the bathroom. God damn... also i think im going to eat all the fresh foods first and save the canned food, before it goes off. 8:00pm: So tired, i think ill head to bed.. 12/11 7:30am: Woke up and read a book on farming. I think i might start a farm? Went and ate some fruit for breakfast. Now i'm heading back out to look for survivors. 10:00am: Went down to the grocery store, im going to grab as much stuff as i can. 3:40pm: Ive done alot of back n forths and im taking absolutely everything i can. i just heard a short burst of gunfire... someones near me. 7:00pm: The store just exploded and im trapped inside theres fire and "people" everywhere. 9:00pm: i dont know how im getting out, i just have to hope the fire doesnt catch onto me, im in a storage room hiding. 9:10pmam: Holy shit, i found a working car, with fuel in it and the key. 10:00am: The fire stopped, the whole place is burnt down, alot of the supplies too. but i have alot back at home, heading home now. im exhausted 11:55am: I just saw an ambulance outside a house, nobody is there. 13/11 7:00am: Woke up and watched life and living. I got so much food now, i should be good for a while. I think the next step is to barricade my windows and bunker down for the upcoming winter. 11:30am: So i just finished chopping and sawing these trees. Managed to barricade each window from the inside. Im going out to explore again... hopefully find survivors.. 11:20pm: found another grocery store, took a huge fridge and as much fresh produce as i can. im going to try freeze as much perishable food as i can, also the gigamart burnt down and i fell asleep in the car. 14/11 6:50am: just woke up, realised how bad my clothes are, theres holes everywhere. i think im going to switch into the military gear i found. 11:10am: switched clothes, and just finished my book on farming while eating some breakfast. heading back out... 5-7pm: met this guy named markus, he wanted help clearing out an apartment block to look for more people there were so many of those things, i cant walk properly theres a huge cut in my leg. i am hidden inside someones room, i hope markus is okay. also theres alot more people inside the city centre. 8:30pm: i escaped thru the back, and came back in to see the building on fire. i found markus, but now a theres a horde of those things coming in. 15/11 1:20pm: i feel ill, and so does markus. i slept in real bad today... we stayed in some random house and we were both exhausted, now we are heading across the road to the tool shop, then head home and relax 1:40pm: theres alot of gunshots in the inner city 6:00pm: me and markus are back at my home. im going to go move the supplies inside. markus isnt feeling too well at the moment. 9:20pm: just built some wooden crates in the garage and moved all the supplies, time to have dinner and sleep this sickness off. hope markus is okay. 16/11 6:50am: its officially been one week. markus is acting weird, he keeps on wandering around outside. i found him outside 10 minutes ago even though its freezing and a blizzard just rolled in. time to settle in 9:40am: made some soup, gonna do some stuff around the house 9:50pm: found a new table and replaced the old one, so i could put my computer on it. also patched up my outfit since it had alot of holes. markus isnt doing great. i feel fine now though- so i hope he gets better, hes the only person i got right now. also installed new metal shelves i found into the garage. things are starting to come together. next step is to make a farm. 17/11: 5:45am: Markus tried to attack me this morning. his face was pale, and flaky. he stunk. i think he became one of them. I had to... i used my machete, his blood went directly in my face. I hope he stays still, and can rest. im sorry. https://preview.redd.it/953q7xo60y3d1.png?width=1441&format=png&auto=webp&s=4bffbc63851c717fd02dfc2dc2b16c54ff5c9a0d |
2024.06.01 13:09 MarshallBrasil313 Still can't believe we're living through the pre-album, this smells a lot like a classic album, let's talk..
 | Houdini had a very good rating even among those who are Eminem haters (or pretend to be on the internet) he caught everyone's nostalgia, the music is fun and addictive, his vocals are great just like in his last feats, the production is also impeccable he is in his moment these almost 4 years have not been in vain, he has worked hard submitted by MarshallBrasil313 to Eminem [link] [comments] anyway, perfect single but I hope that most of the songs are more serious with more serious beats, in a horrorcore style with the Death of Slim Shady theme but also keeping Slim's essence of course with harder songs, With beats from Dre, more Alchemist, and I really hope we have Metro x Em, I hope for more songs like I Will and its chorus, something like the bridge of Premonition and of course a feat with real rappers. Back Thought, Cole or Kendrick, Crooked Some feat with some og rapper would be incredible too, and some feat that we don't expect something experimental, why not? I hope we have a little of each I'm curious to know if we will have the 3 personas on the album, Slim, Eminem and B-Rabbit and how that will work, I think we will have an impact like Kamikaze, this summer it will be Eminem's and I have the impression that there are more things than that just one album, finally he's back, he's in a great phase, welcome to the new era! |
2024.06.01 13:09 big_b_44 My drunken thesis from last night- read and rip holes in it.
 | Good Morning Yāall! Yesterday was my birthday, and as I celebrated by sneaking a flask of Blantonās into the new Mad Max movie, then finishing the bottle when I got homeā¦.. I had a drunken epiphany I found this morning written on toilet paper from last night. If these two items have been beat to the bush, then just ignore me, but I wanted to share. submitted by big_b_44 to Superstonk [link] [comments]
On to my next toilet paper theory: 2. My sober self has been struggling with wtf RK say to come out of hiding. My drunk self goes fuck it, I am ready to fight, but I want to make sure I win the fight. Here was the theory I came up with on that (insert second picture of sitting up in the chair) The notorious first tweet after 3 years of hiatus and risking body and mind, but why? My theory is he saw GME strongly reject the 200 day moving average (see the last picture) and knew it was time. He was waiting the last years, making memes and that was Cat Signal. Please feel free to tell me I am regarded and shoot holes through my toilet paper thoughts, but this morning when I was going for my whiskey diarrhea and saw that surprise I left myself, I said I had to share it with yāall. |
2024.06.01 13:08 No-Scar-5362 Ryland Lynch needs to stop
Hey everyone,
i just cant get over the icky feeling i have towards Ryland Lynch. I really dislike the way he is with the fans and taking advantage of woman. For instance when i went to The Driver Era's movie premiere in london i was sat at the back of the cinema and there were only a couple other girls there. Ryland at the end of the movie during the q&a sat right at the back next to two girls. I saw everything go down as he was the row infront of me. I could literally read his groupchat messages with the lynch family.
He kept talking to the girl in a hushed tone and i could see he was chatting her up. All the while doing this he also seemed pissed at Ross and Rocky for staying longer during the Q&A session than they needed to. Which isnt a good look because at this point they had only gone a couple minutes over time and he was already getting agitated before their time was up.
Anyways he eventually handed his phone over to the girl he was talking to and basically made her follow him on instagram so that he could talk to her. Im pretty sure he wanted this girl to also come back to the hotel with him after because the two of them seemed to be making an arrangement. I also found it quite telling that the one girl who he chose to hit on in the cinema was one of the youngest looking ones there.
This isnt the only issue i have had with ryland. Or even his friend for the matter, Riley.
Dont even get me started on how much Riley also gives me the ick. He was so rude to us fans when we were in line for the london concert. When he handed out our vip lanyards to us he didnt look anyone in the eye and basically chucked our lanyards at us. At this concert he also went about selling vip tickets to people in the ga line for cheaper. Basically Riley doesnt come across as a nice guy at all.
At this same concert, before ross and rocky came on stage, Ryland came out and asked the crowd who was single. But it wasn't just in a fun wooohooo way, he was legitametely scanning the crowd for girls i think he wanted to hook up with. After the concert as fans were waiting by the stage door, security kept calling out a bunch of different girls names. I believe they were girls the boys (not only ryland) had invited to join them after the show.
Ryland has had so many people coming out with stories against him and how most people have caught in to his ways and how he only seems to be in it for the money. I dont think hes a good manager or even a good person for the matter. He only acknolwedges the fans he thinks are pretty or theres something to gain and he has major f boy vibes.
It's kinda tragic, having been a fan of this band since the R5 days to see them all become these people. I find it hard to support them anymore and it feels like they dont even care about their fans at this point.

2024.06.01 13:07 madrasi2021 AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) Resources
Every single day there is a question from someone here saying "where do I start for AWS Solutions Architect Associate" when there are a few hundred articles from those who passed already.
So here is a master list of resources to help those who have this question.
If you find this post useful - upvote. I am happy to take feedback / suggestions / changes etc - please comment!
Link : https://www.reddit.com/AWSCertifications/search/?q=saa+solutions+architect+associate+pass&type=link&t=month
The exam code is SAA-C03
AWS page with all the details : https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certified-solutions-architect-associate/
Always read the Exam Guide (tells you whats in / out of scope) : https://d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-sa-assoc/AWS-Certified-Solutions-Architect-Associate_Exam-Guide.pdf
Also note - you do NOT need more than 1 of each category. You can buy more than one practice exam for sure but doing one is enough IMHO.
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/14760/exam-prep-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03
Optional : There is a slightly extended version of this in the paid tier with additional exam-style questions, flashcards and more importantly FREE hands on labs and the official practice exam.
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/14776/exam-prep-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-with-practice-material
There is a 7 day (extended to 10 days sometimes) free trial for the paid tier which can help you cram this. You can subscribe, immediately cancel but still enjoy 7 days free.
Please note that this course is not enough on its own to pass and you may want to try additional material below.
YouTube based video course
This course below is a better alternative to the SkillBuilder course above but is about 50 hours.
Andrew Brown is an AWS community hero who runs his own training site called exampro.co but offers most of the material for free on FreeCodeCamp's YouTube channel.
The 2024 refresh of the SAA course is here : https://youtu.be/c3Cn4xYfxJY
Andrew also has additional (free / paid) content on his site to check out.
Adrian Cantrill is an independent content creator and has his own site from where you can obtain courses.
His courses go above and beyond what the exam needs and this is exactly why the community loves these courses as you get more practical knowledge than just cramming for the exam. The additional coverage means these courses are longer and not as cheap as other courses that cover just the exam material but in the general opinion of everyone who has taken the course it is absolutely worth it.
Link : https://learn.cantrill.io/
Udemy Courses :
Udemy is a marketplace for courses created by independent authors.
Two of the well known authors are mentioned below but please note that Udemy's pricing model can be a bit weird. One day it may show 150 USD for a course and another day 15 USD. This price it high and discount it heavily model catches out most people - so NEVER pay more than USD 20 for anything on Udemy.
Just wait for a day or so and prices may change. Opening Udemy in another incognito browser etc usually yields a different price or follow the authors on social media for codes that shrink the cost.
Stephane Maarek :
Go via his site : https://courses.datacumulus.com/ for links to his Solutions Architect Associate with the best available coupon.
Neil Davis :
https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-hands-on/
Either one of these Udemy courses is sufficient. You still need to combine it with practice exams but you do not need more than 1 video course.
Other sites :
Exampro.co
As mentioned above Andrew Brown has his own site with additional material over his YouTube course.
Cloud Academy
https://cloudacademy.com/learning-paths/aws-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-certification-preparation-for-aws-1-7446/ has both a learning plan and a practice exam at the end.
WAF - Well Architected Framework
https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/
You need to know at some decent depth on what the pillars are and what they do.
Read the whitpapers from https://aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/
Specifically I found the Reliability and Cost Optimization white papers very useful.
Free :
AWS skillbuilder has one free official exam with just 20 free questions.
To be honest its not really worth it - you can search for "Official practic exam skillbuilder SAA-C03" using your favourite search engine to find it.
exampro.co
Has 1 free practice exam you can sign up to.
Paid :
Official Practice exam
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/13593/exam-prep-official-practice-exam-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-english - there is a free 7 day trial available for you to use as this exam may not be worth a month's subscription fee
Tutorialsdojo.com
Highly recommended independent resource for practice exam questions with a very useful "review mode" and every question comes with detailed explanations on answers
Udemy
Stephane Maarek : again go via his site : https://courses.datacumulus.com/
Neal Davis : https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-hands-on/
Other popular sites :
Exampro.co
Andrew Brown has I believe 3 practice exams as well on his site. One is free - the other two you pay for.
Whizlabs
I havent used them personally but https://www.whizlabs.com/aws-solutions-architect-associate/
Cloud Academy
https://cloudacademy.com/learning-paths/aws-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-certification-preparation-for-aws-1-7446/ has both a learning plan and a practice exam at the end.
If you want a sandbox to experiment - then ACG offers one but so do Whizlabs and Tutorialsdojo.
https://www.reddit.com/AWSCertifications/comments/1d1o522/no_payment_options_to_learn_aws_with_digital/
This material isnt exam focused but if you want some free alternatives / cannot afford to pay for the exam - then check out the link.
If you are
However there is an official Sybex Guide to the exam and tutorialsdojo / Neal Davis (Digital Cloud) also have an ebook. You can google for links to these.
Good Luck folks!

Always read the Exam Guide (tells you whats in / out of scope) : https://d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-sa-assoc/AWS-Certified-Solutions-Architect-Associate_Exam-Guide.pdf
Minimum Viable Path to Certification
Most people usually need 3 things to pass the exam- A single video based course introducing AWS and all the key exam topics
- Additional material on key topics.
- One good quality practice exam
Also note - you do NOT need more than 1 of each category. You can buy more than one practice exam for sure but doing one is enough IMHO.
1. Video Courses
Free Video based Courses
Free from AWS's own training service (Skillbuilder) :
There is an "Exam Prep" course from Skillbuilder but note that this just covers the high level domains but is not a comprehensive deep dive.https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/14760/exam-prep-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03
Optional : There is a slightly extended version of this in the paid tier with additional exam-style questions, flashcards and more importantly FREE hands on labs and the official practice exam.
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/14776/exam-prep-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-with-practice-material
There is a 7 day (extended to 10 days sometimes) free trial for the paid tier which can help you cram this. You can subscribe, immediately cancel but still enjoy 7 days free.
Please note that this course is not enough on its own to pass and you may want to try additional material below.
YouTube based video course
This course below is a better alternative to the SkillBuilder course above but is about 50 hours.
Andrew Brown is an AWS community hero who runs his own training site called exampro.co but offers most of the material for free on FreeCodeCamp's YouTube channel.
The 2024 refresh of the SAA course is here : https://youtu.be/c3Cn4xYfxJY
Andrew also has additional (free / paid) content on his site to check out.
PAID Video based courses
Adrian Cantrill's courses :Adrian Cantrill is an independent content creator and has his own site from where you can obtain courses.
His courses go above and beyond what the exam needs and this is exactly why the community loves these courses as you get more practical knowledge than just cramming for the exam. The additional coverage means these courses are longer and not as cheap as other courses that cover just the exam material but in the general opinion of everyone who has taken the course it is absolutely worth it.
Link : https://learn.cantrill.io/
Udemy Courses :
Udemy is a marketplace for courses created by independent authors.
Two of the well known authors are mentioned below but please note that Udemy's pricing model can be a bit weird. One day it may show 150 USD for a course and another day 15 USD. This price it high and discount it heavily model catches out most people - so NEVER pay more than USD 20 for anything on Udemy.
Just wait for a day or so and prices may change. Opening Udemy in another incognito browser etc usually yields a different price or follow the authors on social media for codes that shrink the cost.
Stephane Maarek :
Go via his site : https://courses.datacumulus.com/ for links to his Solutions Architect Associate with the best available coupon.
Neil Davis :
https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-hands-on/
Either one of these Udemy courses is sufficient. You still need to combine it with practice exams but you do not need more than 1 video course.
Other sites :
Exampro.co
As mentioned above Andrew Brown has his own site with additional material over his YouTube course.
Cloud Academy
https://cloudacademy.com/learning-paths/aws-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-certification-preparation-for-aws-1-7446/ has both a learning plan and a practice exam at the end.
2. Additional Material
I will update this section soon with some additional guidance soon as I am not happy yet (please let me know in comments if there are key additional coverage I should include) - I am scouring recent exam pass posts to see whats current and also want to add links to re:Invent 2023 announcements. I also am thinking of adding in links to "cheat sheets" / docs - let me know if this would be useful.WAF - Well Architected Framework
https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/
You need to know at some decent depth on what the pillars are and what they do.
Read the whitpapers from https://aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/
Specifically I found the Reliability and Cost Optimization white papers very useful.
3. Practice Exams
Please do NOT fall for "dumps" - if anyone offers you the EXACT list of AWS questions or guarantees the question bank matches the exam - these are dumps. The links below are either official or well regarded sources.Free :
AWS skillbuilder has one free official exam with just 20 free questions.
To be honest its not really worth it - you can search for "Official practic exam skillbuilder SAA-C03" using your favourite search engine to find it.
exampro.co
Has 1 free practice exam you can sign up to.
Paid :
Official Practice exam
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/13593/exam-prep-official-practice-exam-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-english - there is a free 7 day trial available for you to use as this exam may not be worth a month's subscription fee
Tutorialsdojo.com
Highly recommended independent resource for practice exam questions with a very useful "review mode" and every question comes with detailed explanations on answers
Udemy
Stephane Maarek : again go via his site : https://courses.datacumulus.com/
Neal Davis : https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-hands-on/
Other popular sites :
Exampro.co
Andrew Brown has I believe 3 practice exams as well on his site. One is free - the other two you pay for.
Whizlabs
I havent used them personally but https://www.whizlabs.com/aws-solutions-architect-associate/
Cloud Academy
https://cloudacademy.com/learning-paths/aws-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-certification-preparation-for-aws-1-7446/ has both a learning plan and a practice exam at the end.
Not Recommended sites :
Sites that are sadly NOT recommended anymore - Avoid A Cloud Guru / Pluralsight as their courses are not considered the best anymore. They used to be leaders but somehow have fallen behind and their subscription model doesnt work in a world with cheap one time purchase courses.If you want a sandbox to experiment - then ACG offers one but so do Whizlabs and Tutorialsdojo.
Optional / Complementary material
I have an article where you can find complementary / alternatives to the Solutions Architect Exam - most are free and includes the "AWS Knowledge : Architecting Free Digital Badge"https://www.reddit.com/AWSCertifications/comments/1d1o522/no_payment_options_to_learn_aws_with_digital/
This material isnt exam focused but if you want some free alternatives / cannot afford to pay for the exam - then check out the link.
FAQ
- Do I need ALL this material
- Do I really need to do hands on work
If you are
- Where can I find vouchers for the exam
- Can I cheat my way using Dumps that I found online / my mate gave me / found on GitHub / YouTube?
- Can I pass with just free resources as I cannot afford the resources
- I skipped CCP / CLF - is that okay
- Can someone who is new to IT do this exam
- Is it worth it?
- I dont code or want to - is this course for me?
- Can I use ChatGPT / Amazon Q etc to learn
- Are there books to learn from
However there is an official Sybex Guide to the exam and tutorialsdojo / Neal Davis (Digital Cloud) also have an ebook. You can google for links to these.
Good Luck folks!

TRIGGER WARNING: Physical violence, PTSD
Original Post Nov 3, 2019
Regular reader of this sub, never thought I'd end up posting. I know this is "above reddit's paygrade", but we're looking for advice wherever we can get it.
We've been together for 5 years. My husband grew up extremely hard, in one of the worst areas in the country. He was heavily involved in crime and dealt with violence on a constant basis. For going on ten years, he's been through numerous rehabilitation programs, mentors teens who experience similar circumstances and he's absolutely turned himself around. He's never been threatening in the time I've known him, although he still deals with anxiety related ptsd triggers on occasion.
For Halloween, I got the idea to prank him after he got back from a late shift, at which point I'm usually asleep. I hid behind the shower curtain in my costume, which was of a cat burglar (picture the black ski masked crook shimmying down a wire past those lasers to steal a diamond like in movies). I'm 5'9, and this costume made me look a bit bulky. He came in quietly, and when he came into washroom I popped out from behind the curtain. Before I could reveal the joke, he attacked me. It was severe, and I couldn't tell him who I was as he had my throat, and my hands were under me in the tub. He screamed my name and told me to run, and started giving extremely dark threats to "me" telling me what he planned to do when "his wife got out", outright telling me he planned to kill me while continuing the assault and screaming my name. This only ended when my mask was pulled in a way that revealed my dyed hair through the eye holes and he pulled it off, seeing it was me.
He spends the rest of the night an inconsolable mess, and I had to actively stop him from calling the police on himself, from taking me to the hospital and from calling my friends and family, because I knew no matter what I said he'd end up arrested. I entirely blame myself for this, I knew his past, I knew he dealt with ptsd and I pranked him without thinking of how trapped he'd feel in that room or how protective he'd be of me. At the same time, I'm terrified. Not rationally, but reactively. I knew his history, but to experience it scared me beyond belief. The sheer violence of his attack and his threats and anger made me realize just what's still under the surface if pushed, even though my rational brain knows he was reacting to what he thought was a threat and he's been a gentle teddybear towards everyone for the entire time I've known him. He on the other hand blames himself entirely, has been crying on and off since Halloween and keeps apologizing, begging me to just leave him which I have no plans or desire to do. My face looks like I went through a meat grinder, and I cannot go into work or face my family like this, because I doubt they'd believe what actually happened.
We both just want to move forward from this nightmare. Please do not advise me to leave him, he's an amazing man who reacted to my ridiculous idea of a joke. What steps can we take to be around friends and family while I heal? What steps can we take to close this gap between us, put it behind us and love and support one another through this experience? What can I do to ease his guilt, while also reminding myself he's still the amazing man I married and not the person I encountered that night? Any advice on where to start (we both have therapists) would be appreciated.
TL;DR: Played stupid prank on husband suffering from bad experiences. Thought I was a home invader and attacked me. Both of us wondering how to even begin to let this go.

2024.06.01 13:07 seafood-plate01 New big tech job toxic - dumpster fire - quitting after 1-2 months?
Worked my way up from boot camp through mom and pop shops to insurance and now into big tech.
However, while the company name looks good on my resume and the pay is nice, this is the most dysfunctional, toxic project I've been a part of.
Overtime is mandated, and missing deadlines despite changing requirements and lack of support is not understood by stakeholders.
We have no access to anything, no data, no permissions, cannot do integration tests. No dev environment, no permissions to deploy. But we're still expected to deliver in 2 week sprints. We just mock as best we can and hope for the best before the staging deployment inevitably breaks.
In addition, no documentation, no tests, no support, no help from teammates. Senior dev is throwing shade despite me being communciative and won't respond for hours. I'm drowning here.
I've always been a top performer, but I really am prevented from being effective due to the horrible work conditions.
Do I just leave and put the name on my resume(it's reputable) or do I just say I was on vacation and unemployed?
Ive had to pull 14 hour shifts this week and I'm done.

2024.06.01 13:07 Enderking90 [Online] [PF1E] [GMT +3] a player with some experience with PF 1E is looking to play it more and learn more.
greetings! as said in the title, I'm craving to experience playing more 1st edition of pathfinder.
I'm 21+ in terms of age, and when it comes to familiarity with the system is... well, I'm more or less familiar with it? though there's still a lot for me to really learn.
in terms of time, I've been playing for like couple of years it now in a couple of games? beyond that, my TTRPG familiarity is largely with 5E which I've played for handful of years now.
in terms of gameplay, I prefer a mix of combat and RP, with a bit of a leaning to combat.
when it comes to the setting, I generally like the usual medieval fantasy-ish, high magic stuff. y'know, basic stuff. not that I'm not down for other stuff, mind you.
as for time slot wise, I'm paradoxically actually way more busy during the weekend then during the weekday.
for like, the lines and veils stuff, I don't really have anything that eeks me out or like that? closest is maybe like... graphic eye mutilation? idk.
oh, and I'm a guy, he/him? I guess that's something to mention?
honestly I am not good at self-introductions, never have been, so sorry about the sub-par quality... but if there's anything that's left unclear, I'd be more then happy to answer any and all questions you might have?

2024.06.01 13:06 Kismet110 2K@240Hz works but 4K@120Hz option not showing via DP - Samsung 57" monitor
As per the title, hoping someone can assist. I used to connect via HDMI and could get both 4K@120Hz and 2K@240Hx however I couldn't G-Sync Compatible / FreeSync option in NVCP so switched to Display Port.
That allowed FreeSync to kick in but now I don't get the 4K@120Hz option any more in NVCP, only 60Hz is showing at that resolution.
I've tried three different cables, all the same including one cable explicitly labelled as supporting that combination.
I then purchased a new cable advertised as DP 2.1 and capable of resolution / refresh rates exceeding what I'm aiming for but still it only shows 60Hz as the maximum refresh rate for 4K rather than the previously available (via HDMI) 120Hz.
I would stick to HDMI but want to take advantage of FreeSync which only works using DP; any of you good people had a similar problem or know a possible solution? Or tell me if I'm missing something here?

2024.06.01 13:06 Username_checks__0ut Bought a Mini 3 Pro (exhibit)
So as the title says, I ordered a used Mini 3 Pro today. Been looking for one for quite some time now and finally took my chance. However I do have two questions:
submitted by Username_checks__0ut to dji [link] [comments]
- I bought it from a known store in my country, however it is an exhibit. Apart from the obvious, what would you advise me to check, whether it is worth it or not. It is supposes to be in a good condition but who knows. I do have 14 days to return it so basically, that's why I bought it. Buying via eBay would've been a bigger gamble and this way I can check it myself and safely return it in case.
- For those in Europe, it cost me 589ā¬. Would you consider this a good deal as well?
2024.06.01 13:06 Delgra Who makes the best comal, wok and pan for use on gas and open fire?
Iām looking to add a carbon steel wok, comal and a 12ā fry pan to my overland cook kit.
Iāve used cast iron a lot but want to invest in good carbon steel alternatives for a little weight savings and other advantages.
Theyād be used exclusively on a gas camp stove with 20,000 btu rated burners (Iāve never pushed it that high) and open camp fires.
Both need to feature metal handles and be able to take some abuse (though always maintained after use). Donāt mind paying good money for a reputable brand with a good warranty.
Iām overwhelmed by the selection out there and am trying to avoid amazon and no name chinese brands if possible. I prefer a lot of slope on the side of my pans and the wok should feature a flat bottom.
Thanks for any and all input. Have hit a wall googling and slogging through marketing and influencer bs.

2024.06.01 13:05 OspreyQueen Episode titles named after songs
Just a random curiosity of mine, but now that we have every single episode title I thought I'd see how many are named after songs - and to my mild surprise I could only find three for near certain and three slightly more tenuous ones:
submitted by OspreyQueen to insideno9 [link] [comments]
- Love's Great Adventure (Ultravox, literally plays over the credits)
- Thinking Out Loud (Ed Sheeran - could be unrelated, but I doubt it given how big a cultural phenomenon it is)
- Love is a Stranger (Eurythmics)
- Wuthering Heist (pun on the Emily Brontƫ novel, but the name has become so intertwined with the Kate Bush song that it's effectively referencing both)
- Diddle Diddle Dumpling (more of a rhyme than a song)
- Merrily, Merrily (same as above, and most would call it Row Your Boat or something like that)
2024.06.01 13:05 Miserable-Switch191 Based on your experience, do I have any chance to win her back?
This is my story: My girlfriend (F/24) broke with me (M/24) last week. We had our on and offs but 2 months ago we discussed and had a deep talk about our future and we decided to continue, where I told her that I will try to change all the things that she didn't like to me and give her much more attention (these past 2 years I have been extremely busy with my work and studies and we have been in long distance, so I have tried to stay near of her as much as I could but maybe not at my best. I wanted to continue my studies abroad so I could have a better future for both of us)... Short story long, last week she said that she likes the progress and the position where our relationship is now is what she really wanted from us. The day before break up we were facetiming and discussing and very happy, I wanted to ask the next days about the idea of getting engaged since I am in the end of my studies and thinking to go back to my country. Suddenly the next day she told me that she want to break up, she continues by saying these "classic words" that she loves me, and that the next girl would be lucky to have me, but she just doesn't think that we are a good fit, after +4 years of relationship?! ... I tried a lot to convince her that she is making a mistake and that she has to think more about that, since honestly she is the only girl I want and everything I did was to have a better future for us, I never thought of anyone else or even talked to any other girl. She said that it's done.
I want to win her back. I started no contact the next day, not to heal myself but to win her. The other day she put my favorite picture of her as a profile picture in social media, why? I don't want a future without her. Can anybody share any success story since our relationship was done in good terms. and I truly believe that she doesn't have anyone else in here life and that she loves me, and she has also fought a lot for our relationship. I just don't understand why when we agreed to continue stronger, and we were actually going stronger. Can anybody give me something?

For context I stay really healthy im not over or under weight. I lift weights exercise run. I have a smart shirt and tie for when I apply for jobs in person but get turned down. I guess I'm just posting here for any advice or if anyone knows any online things that actually pay. I'm really low even just good encouragement as I could really just walk into traffic if it wasn't her birthday.

2024.06.01 13:04 Gyro_Armadillo Villanueva says some members of 'Solid 7' inclined to join minority
 | MANILA ā Senator Joel Villanueva said a majority of their so-called "Solid 7" group of allies of former Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri are inclined to join the Senate minority bloc that currently only has Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimenel III and his Deputy, Senator Risa Hontiveros. submitted by Gyro_Armadillo to Philippines [link] [comments] "Right now 3-4 sa 7 sa amin ay more than willing to be part of the minority if that is the case na kailangan naming gawin para mas maging epektibo kami in helping our institution, " Villanueva said. "3-4 I can say for example Sen. JV already mentioned, Sen. Binay already made a statement also, andiyan si dating SP Migz andiyan si Sen. Sonny Angara yan po lahat open to that idea to be part of the minority we have spoken to Sen. Koko Pimentel and very much welcome daw kami." (3 to 4 of the 7 are more than willing if that is what is needed for us to help the institution. Sen. JV Ejercito, Sen. Nancy Binay, Sen. Migz Zubiri, Sen. Sony Angara. Minority Leader Sen. Koko Pimentel already said we are welcome.) Villanueva said they have the betterment of their service at the heart of their eventual decision and that they will spend the sine die adjournment to figure out the best way they can be of service to the nation. Villanueva admits he's still in pain from what the leadership change and that is why he has chosen to remain silent. Villanueva called his colleagues who have apologized for the change but gave reasons that have not helped calm tensions. "Hindi naman natin maitatago yung ating emosyon at kaya kung mapapansin niyo di naman tayo masyadong nagsasalita dahil gusto natin masiguro na lahat ng ating sasabihin ay hindi dahil sa taas ng emosyon natin o doon sa nararamdaman natin especially after giving our best eh talagang masakit pa rin masakit pa rin dahil we walked the extra mile and we were burning literally midnight oils in working very hard," Villanueva said. "Yet ganoon pa rin yung nangyari. Malungkot lang minsan kasi may maririnig ka pa yung nagsorry nagdadahilan, yung nagsosorry nagsasabi ng kung ano ano yun lang ang di natin minsan maiwasan na okay na pero ano ba yan talaga sana let us move forward and it is what it is we are all seasoned politicians we know the name of the game " (We can't hide our emotions, that's why I've been silent because we want to make sure what we say is not because of emotions. It's still painful because we did our best. It's just sad that some apologized but they gave unacceptable reasons.) "Ang pinupunto ko lang is when you say sorry and you say you are commending the efforts and everything that we have done in the past 2 years tapos at the same time sasabihin mo maraming gulo maraming reklamo pero walang magsasalita kung ano tungkol doon hindi maganda, hindi maganda," Villanueva added. "Lalo na yung sabihin na paa yung dahilan kung bakit nawala kaming lahat sa leadership insulto yun sa institusyon insulto rin yun sa taongbayan." (When you apologize then commend our efforts then you say there are issues but nobody speaks up about the details, that's not good. Citing the refusal to allow Senator Bong Revilla to attend sessions virtually while recuperating from foot surgery as a reason for the ouster is insulting) Villanueva also rejected allegations that there may be dissatisfaction with their leadership. "Sinabing di daw satisfied so we respect that but you cannot take it away from us na masakit po because we were walking the extra mile," Villanueva said "Parang wala na kong ibubuga na kaya ko pang gawin or better na gagawin ko during my stint as majority leader and so because of that I am entertaining the idea maybe I'd be better as part of the minority or probably with the opposition in the Senate kasi kagaya ng sabi ko 2-3 sa amin willing naman na gawin yun but again I don't want na pangunahan po sila." (They say they weren't satisfied. That's painful because we went the extra mile. What more can I do as a majority leader? That's why I'm considering joining the minority. Some of us are so inclined.) Villanueva said there were external forces responsible for Zubiri's replacement. "Hindi rin nangangapa o hindi rin chismis yung sinabi ni dating Senate President Migs Zubiri na may powers that be dahil may 2 na ngang senador na nagsabi sa grupo namin na tumawag sa kanila napakadaling icheck." Villanueva said. (What Senator Zubiri said about the powers that be is not a rumor. 2 senators told us they got calls.) Villanueva said they are open to a dialogue with Senate President Francis Escudero as they mull their options. "Imagine if there are more fiscalizers if there are more checkers to ensure that every bill, every measure that we are tackling and passing in the Senate would really help the best interest of our people," he said. ABS-CBN News is still waiting for comments from the Senate Minority bloc. |
2024.06.01 13:04 zazeauzena Quite large capital for my age, but unbright future. Save, ETF, property?
Hi All
After reading lots and lots of questions and answers on this Subreddit, i completely lost my thoughts. I have a good understanding of how investing works, why i should do it, and the power of compounded interest on long term, combined with the ease of an ETF like Iwda. I have a quite complex situation which confuses me a lot when it comes to investing and saving money. I already saw a lot of 'professional' explanations and theories here, so i would like to ask an objective opinion.
This is who I am:
I think i'm in a quite well situation given my age, and that's why i want to seize the opportunity as thoughtful as possible.
when i was 19, i started putting 5k in seperate stocks, mainly tech and Uranium as i am a strong believer of nuclear energy. That's doing very well as it's already 18k now.
invested another 5k in iwda last year, which is doing well aswell.
Reason why i am stuck:
I don't know what to do with my cash.
I want to invest some money for long term (10 a 15 years +) I want to invest some for very long term to retire comfy I have the houses, 1 renovated, bungalow from '60, which is now beginning EPC C, so quite efficient for the age. Only large expense for the future: removing asbest roof and replace it with shingles. Note that this house is with our future in mind, to start for the first 10 years or so. My final goal is to renovate the house of my grandparents in the future, to make it as good as possible for the rest of our lives (my girlfriend is fine with the situation, it's beneficial for her too). It's a 'landhuis' on a larnge plot of land. So i guess it will take arround 150k to renovate the house.
The approach i am thinking off:
I invest another 15k in Iwda as lump sum and DCA from now on 300 euro's a month. I keep my own money to live from and to invest When i would ever renovate the house of my grand parents, i could get a loan for renovation purposes and use the bare minimum as downpayment. Then i renovate the house, and will live in it afterwards. The house i live in now is modern, detached , and easy to rent out. I would use the rental income from this property to pay off my loan I got to renovate the other house. I could eventually do a downpayment to make the rental income more than the loan, so I get let's say 200 euro's spare which i could park on a high yield growth savings account. This amount would come in when i have a cost at the property which is rented out. In the meanwhile i still have a filled savings account which keeps all roads open for investing oppertunities or to increase the value of the property i will be living in, in let's say 10 years or so (I hope it takes as long as possible as I love my grand parents, i want them to live as long as possible and stay at home while they can.) Once the renovation loan has been paid, i still have a lot of savings, so has my girlfriend, so in the further future, we could eventually buy an investment property together aswell.
Would you change strategy? Or come in mind with another strategy that could work for me? I am willing to take moderate risk. I don't want to invest all in individual stocks as they are too volatile for me, especially sectorbased like energy. But ETF's, i am fine with. If it crashes, everything crashes, and after a crash, it will climb anyway in the long run.
My goal is not to stop working or so, or to retire at 40, but i want to be able to say 'fuck it' and do something I really really enjoy, even though I would earn half the money. I never want to stress about money. I am quite economically-minded and think a lot before i purchase something expensive. Working 4/5 when i'm around 40 and 3/5 when around 55 would be ideal i think.
My main motivation; based on the lifestyle of my grandfather, i like to walk arround on my property, thinking how beautifyl it is, washing the car on saturday, play with the kids, take them for a ride in a old porsche 911 (passionate about that car since when i was 6, posters all arround my room, till to date haha, that's the life strive for, the life i WANT to work for . not to sit at home at 50 all day long as everyone i know will still work then.
Thank you so much for your insights
Cheers

This is who I am:
- 24 y/o male, works in as production-and planningcoordinator - net income =-2350 / month + benefits
- i have a girlfriend, we are living together in a house of mine (situation will be explaned below).
- +- 150k in savings, doing nothing on the bank at 0.5 % interest.
- +- 25k in stocks and etf's
- i have 2 houses on my name, 1 i live in myself together with my girlfriend, the other one is the house in which my grandparents are living in ( = vruchtgebruik, have been gifted the house a couple of years ago).
- I don't have any debts and don't have that much common expenses.
- Don't have kids, probably not before i reach 30 as i want to figure out where i will get financially to provide a stable situation for a kid. (girlfriend is fine with it).

2024.06.01 13:02 Flyingvosch Which fast lens(es) should I start with?
Hi everyone! This is my first post on Reddit, trying to be specific so I hope itās not too long...
I have inherited the following gear from a deceased relative: Nikon D3300, Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 VC, Sigma DG 70-300mm f/4-5.6, and Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (which I donāt use). Iāve been using it for a few months now, quite regularly and in many different situations, along with quite a bit of reading. While I have to improve at composition and post-processing, Iām reaching some of the limits of my gear, namely low-light performance.
I regularly shoot family/friends events like birthdays, and some religious events, mostly in buildings with bad-mediocre lighting I canāt do much about. This is all handheld, plus I often canāt use the (inbuilt) flash for several reasons. I use the Tamron in those cases: max aperture, shutter at 1/60 (or 1/30 in extreme cases) and auto ISO regularly hitting the defined limit (3200, higher gets really noisy)... PP does help (I sometimes do it), but photography is just a hobby or a help/service, so I would like to start with better low-light performance at the capture level.
Therefore, I am looking at faster lens(es) in the short/medium range, like up to 100mm. Iām aiming for 1.8 or even 1.4 aperture, but Iām a bit confused about which lenses would be most relevant to invest in, since I would like to keep it below letās say 600 ā¬ (Iām in France, and yes I will buy used).
What do you guys think? What approach would you suggest? And, more importantly, what specific lenses (primes or zooms) can you point at? Brands, models and their versions, etc. I prefer to spend a bit more if itās worth it btw. Macro (small flowers) is also a + but not decisive.
TL;DR: What combination of fast lenses (primes or zooms up to ~ 100mm) would you suggest for good low-light performance on a Nikon D3300, in a budget of ~ 600ā¬? First time purchasing gear.

- Iāve gotten used to the comfort of the Tamronās range. I know fast zooms are heavy and expensive, but I donāt think I will be satisfied with only primes. On the other hand, looks like no zoom (at a reasonable price) can beat the 1.8/1.4 aperture of primes.
- If I take an APS-C lens (which makes sense right now), Iām struggling to get rid of the fear that IF I EVER get a full-frame it will become rather useless.
- If I get a (crop?) mirrorless one day, would a DSLR crop lens work on it? Guess it depends on the brand and other details...
