2024.05.20 07:29 DragonSlash67 Fix the leaks or cut my losses

My 2011 chevy cruze is sitting right around 194k kms. I’ve owned it for just under a year and since December it’s started leaking both oil and coolant. The oils pretty minor but the coolant is a consistent problem where I’m leaving a snail trail down the road. I just about top the coolant up every day. Back in February I replaced the coolant temp sensor and the leak stopped but it’s started back up around a couple weeks ago. The torque converter doesn’t feel right on it, like I can feel it engaging and disengaging. Whenever I first start driving(say in the morning to work) i’ll feel and hear a crunch sound. I also had an electrical issue with my whole dash shutting down which has mysteriously stopped. I’m just wondering if I try and fix those coolant leaks again and try to push it to the end or cut my losses and go for a new civic

May's Market Moves: FPIs Sell Rs 28,242 Crore in Indian Equities
Foreign Portfolio Investors Shift Focus Amid Market Uncertainties
May has seen significant activity from Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) in the Indian equity market, with sales reaching Rs 28,242 crore ($3.38 billion), marking the largest sell-off since January 2023. This trend reflects a strategic shift as FPIs reassess their positions in the wake of various global and local factors.
Sensex ends 383 points lower at 57300, Nifty closes just shy of 17100; M&M top gainer.
The Numbers Behind the Sell-Off
According to data from the National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL), FPIs sold Rs 26,020 crore worth of Indian equities up to May 17 in the current calendar year. Comparatively, last January witnessed an even larger offload of Rs 28,852 crore. In the cash market specifically, foreign investors sold Rs 35,532 crore through May 17, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) counterbalanced this with purchases amounting to Rs 33,973 crore.
Factors Driving the Sell-Off
Several key factors are influencing FPIs’ decisions. Firstly, the ongoing general elections in India have introduced a level of uncertainty that makes the market less attractive in the short term. Additionally, FPIs are diverting funds to the Chinese market, where valuations are perceived as more favorable.
“The main trigger for the FII selling has been the outperformance of the Hong Kong index Hang Seng, which surged by 19.33% over the last month. FIIs are moving money from expensive markets like India to cheaper markets like Hong Kong, where the PE ratio is around 10 compared to India’s 20,” explains V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
Market Volatility and Election Uncertainty
The election period has led to increased volatility in the Indian market. This is evident from the recent rise in India VIX, a volatility index, which has crossed the 21-mark. Such levels indicate a high degree of market uncertainty.
“This shift in FPIs’ behavior is not a random occurrence. It is a direct response to the ongoing geopolitical crisis in the Middle East, relative valuation discomfort, and the strength of US bond yields,” notes Vipul Bhowar, Director of Listed Investments at Waterfield Advisors.
Future Outlook
Despite the current sell-off, there is a silver lining. Vijayakumar suggests that the outcome of the general elections could significantly alter FPI equity flows. “Political stability will attract huge inflows,” he asserts, highlighting the potential for a positive turnaround if the elections result in a favorable and stable political climate.
FPI Activity in the Debt Market
On a brighter note, FPIs have been active buyers in the Indian debt market. So far in 2024, they have net bought Rs 45,087 crore and an additional Rs 7,040 crore through the debt-VRR (Voluntary Retention Route), according to NSDL data.
In conclusion, while May has seen a notable exit of FPIs from the Indian equity market due to a confluence of factors, including election uncertainties and attractive valuations elsewhere, the long-term outlook remains tied to political outcomes and broader economic conditions. The debt market, however, continues to attract FPI interest, indicating a nuanced approach to investment in India.

2024.05.20 07:21 octopusplate Husband is leaving me for an ex-girl friend, what is likely to happen when we divorce?

About two months ago my husband told me he doesn't love me the same way anymore. This came out because I caught him hugging his ex. He tried to lie about it but I refused to believe his b.s.. This led to him confessing that he's not in love with me anymore and hasn't been for over two years. He never said anything.
We have three beautiful kids together (4M, 3F, and 3F). So the girls would have been around 1. I was totally blindsided. Recently things haven't felt right, so tonight I told him how I feel, how much he hurt me, and how things don't feel right between us. Turns out he's been talking to said ex, is inlove with her, has always been in love with her, and wants a divorce.
The problem mainly is that I still love this man and I don't want our family to break apart. I've begged for marriage counseling but he refuses to even try to make this work.
I only work part-time in the evening. I'm they're main caregiver. I have a bull malarkey Associates Degree in business and no real work related skills other than cashier\bookkeeping at grocery stores.
The real kicker in all this is that we just bought a house together 6 months ago. He convinced me and my mom that she should give up her house and move with us since she's almost disabled and was always going to end up living with us anyway. So now without this house we'll all be homeless.
If he had spoke up sooner I could've just taken the kids to my mom's house to live and we could have worked out custody, visitation etcetera. Now I'm so lost and I have no idea what mine and my kids future looks like. Not to mention my poor mom who gave up a secure living arrangement just to get caught up in this mess.
His plan is to live at his parents and keep paying the mortgage. This seems shady. For one, we've been trying to save up for the many many repairs this house needs. And what if something catastrophic happens, who will pay to fix it. Nothing about this whole damn situation feels right. Any knowledge or advice would be appreciated.
TLDR: My husband of 8 years is in love with his ex and wants a divorce.

2024.05.20 07:21 Kolione Replacing the thermostat on my 2011 Subaru Forester. Bought an 82C instead of an 88C accidentally. Does 6 degrees matter?

Replacing my radiator on my 2011 Subaru Forester. First time Ive done anything like this and decided to replace the thermostat at the same time because I saw multiple recommendations to do so online. Went on Rockauto and thought I was getting the right part because it is labeled OE Temp, but now that Ive pulled my car apart discovered I bought the wrong thing. Original part is rated for 88C, one I bought is 82C. Does 6 degrees make a difference? Really dont want to have to redo this since it was such an enormous pain to get out, but not sure I can go without my car for another week while I wait for a replacement part.

I recently had the pleasure of adding the Kyocera Revolution 5.5" Ceramic Santoku Knife in a stunning blue hue to my kitchen arsenal, and it has completely changed the game for me. The first thing I noticed was how perfectly balanced it felt in my hand, making it easy to maneuver and reducing fatigue during those endless chopping sessions.
One of the features that truly stood out to me was the ceramic blade, which reportedly stays sharp 10 times longer than steel blades. I've certainly noticed a difference – not only in the effortless slicing, dicing, and mincing of fruits and vegetables, but also in the seamless transition from chopping meats to finely chopping herbs.
The ergonomic handle offers a comfortable grip, adding to the overall ease of use, and the vivid color options provide a visual appeal that makes it stand out amongst my other kitchen tools. There's no denying that the Kyocera Revolution 5.5" Ceramic Santoku Knife is more than just a kitchen tool – it's an essential and beautiful addition to my daily culinary routine.

As someone who has been using the Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Utility Knife in my daily life, I must say that it has been a game changer. Its ergonomic handle feels comfortable in my hand, providing precise control as I slice through fruits, vegetables, and even some small meats.
What stood out to me the most is the ceramic blade's ability to stay sharp for an incredibly long time, way more than any steel blade I've ever used. It really makes a difference when I'm preparing my meals, as I don't have to spend time honing my knife skills and wasting precious time.
However, I must mention that the knife can be quite brittle, as the users in the reviews suggested. So it's essential to handle it with care, especially when storing it in a drawer. Also, it's not a great tool for cutting boneless meat or fish, as its blade isn't thin or agile enough.
But overall, I've been very pleased with the Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Utility Knife. It's perfect for any chef or home cook, and it has definitely improved my kitchen experience. Plus, it's quite light, which reduces fatigue during those repetitive cutting tasks. It's a worthwhile investment, provided you're attentive to its fragility.

The Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife has been a game changer in my daily life. The super-sharp, super-tough ceramic blade is surprisingly lighter than I expected, making it a perfect companion when I'm on the move. What I loved the most was its resistance to corrosion – it's like it's indestructible! But the real icing on the cake was the molded soft grip handle. It felt incredibly comfortable to hold, and it made using the knife a pleasant experience.
One thing I noticed was that the compression sheath could be a bit tricky to use at first. It took some extra effort to make it hold tight for safe storage and transportation. However, once I figured it out, I appreciated the added security it provided.
Overall, the Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife 4 inch Black RCUKB4 has been a reliable and efficient tool in my daily routine. And with its sharpness, durability, and easy gripping handle, it's hard not to love it!

🔗Kyocera Ceramic Outdoor Camp Kitchen Knife and Sheath Set - Ideal for Camping, Hiking, and More

I've had the pleasure of using Kyocera's Ceramic Outdoor Camp Kitchen Knife and Sheath Set, and let me tell you, it has been quite the experience. The knife is perfect for my outdoor adventures, as it's durable, rust-proof, and resistant to germs and acids.
One of the most impressive features of this knife is its ultra-sharp, pure advanced ceramic blade. It's incredibly lightweight and easy to clean, which is exactly what I need when I'm out in the wild. And the ergonomic soft grip handle? It provides a comfortable, highly controlled grip, making it a pleasure to use.
The heavy nylon sheath with the Velcro strap is a nice addition, too. It keeps the knife safe and secure, and the belt loop makes it easy for me to access it whenever I need it. The fact that this product is made from Kyocera's proprietary zirconia material is an extra bonus, as it guarantees exceptional quality and beauty.
While this knife is ideal for camping, fishing, hiking, and picnics, I would avoid using it on hard foods or objects. But overall, I've been really happy with this set and would definitely recommend it to those who love spending time in the great outdoors.

As a reviewer, I've been using this Kyocera Revolution ceramic 3-inch paring knife for a few weeks now, and I must say, it has been quite an experience. The knife is incredibly sharp, making it perfect for intricate tasks like trimming, peeling, and garnishing. Its lightweight design, combined with the ultra-sharp ceramic blades, makes it easy to maneuver and a joy to use in the kitchen.
However, I have encountered a minor drawback - the blade is much harder to sharpen than I'm used to, requiring a bit more patience and effort than steel knives I've used in the past. Nevertheless, I appreciate that ceramic blades maintain their edge up to 10 times longer than steel blades, and the fact that they won't brown food, rust, or be resistant to acids.

As someone who's always on the go, I found the SHOCFR Shomer-Tec Ceramic Folding Razor Knife to be an essential addition to my everyday carry. This little guy is so compact, fitting perfectly into my pockets without taking up too much space. The 1" black finish ceramic blade is surprisingly sharp, making it incredibly useful for various tasks like cutting rope or opening packages. I appreciate the sleek black synthetic handle, which feels sturdy and comfortable in my hand.
While I'm a big fan of this pocket knife, there were a couple of drawbacks. The first thing I noticed was how easily the blade would snap shut. It happened a few times when I accidentally pressed it against something hard. Furthermore, the fact that it's made in China makes me a bit skeptical about its long-term durability.
Overall, the SHOCFR Shomer-Tec Ceramic Folding Razor Knife was a handy tool to have with me. Its compact size and sharp blade made it perfect for everyday use. However, its low-quality materials and tendency to snap shut may be a deal-breaker for some potential buyers.

I recently started using the Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife, and let me tell you, it's impressive. The blade is incredibly sharp right out of the box - twice as sharp as a steel blade, as advertised! And not only that, it stays sharp for much longer, thanks to its fantastic edge retention - 15 times better than steel.
As someone who frequently spends time outdoors, I love the lightweight and non-porous construction; it doesn't rust or corrode. Plus, the handle is a game-changer. The molded soft-grip design feels comfortable in my hand, even during long fishing trips.
The Open-Design Compression Sheath is a thoughtful addition too, ensuring safe storage and transport. The only downside I've noticed so far is that, while the knife itself is fantastic, the sheath that comes with it could use some improvement. Thankfully, it hasn't been a dealbreaker for me.
Overall, I highly recommend this Rapala Ceramic Utility Knife. Its features make it an excellent choice for cutting chores and fishing trips alike.

I recently started using the Starfrit Ceramic Chef Knife and I must say, it's a game-changer in the kitchen. This 6-inch blade is incredibly sharp and stays that way up to 10 times longer than a steel blade, making cutting tasks a breeze. The ergonomic design of the knife, with its soft grip handle, is definitely a plus.
I found that this knife really stands out when it comes to cutting fruits, vegetables, and boneless meats. One time, I even used it for Thanksgiving, preparing an assortment of veggies for a big dinner, and it handled the task flawlessly. The smooth texture of the handle also allows for a comfortable grip.
However, I did notice a downside—the blade is incredibly sharp, which means you have to be very careful while handling it. It's also worth mentioning that these ceramic knives are not suitable for carving, boning, or any application that requires flexing or twisting. They should only be used with plastic or wooden cutting boards.
So far, I've been really happy with the Starfrit Ceramic Chef Knife, but I'm keeping an eye on the durability of the handle. I hope it holds up well, because I truly love using this knife in my daily life. If you're into ceramic knives, this one is definitely worth the investment.

It's important to remember to hand wash it after use and to keep it away from the dishwasher. Overall, the Kyocera LTD Ceramic Utility Knife has easily become a go-to tool in my kitchen, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, long-lasting cutting utensil.

As someone who loves to cook, I've had the pleasure of trying out the Kyocera Ceramic Blue knife and peeler set. I was immediately drawn to the unique blue handle, which not only looked stylish in my kitchen but also added a touch of elegance to my cooking process.
The Santoku knife, with its 14cm blade, was a delight to work with. Its ergonomic design allowed for a comfortable grip, and the ceramic material made it incredibly durable and easy to maintain. However, the peeler, with its 4cm blade, was a bit harder to work with. While it was efficient in removing the skin, it took a bit more effort to use than I anticipated.
Despite this minor drawback, the overall experience was fantastic. The Kyocera Ceramic Blue knife and peeler set has become a staple in my kitchen, and I've received countless compliments on its unique design and functionality. If you're looking for a versatile and stylish set of knives, this one is definitely worth considering.

The utility knife features a ceramic blade made from Kyocera's proprietary zirconia material, a remarkable high-tech material known for its superior edge retention. The dense and smooth blade surface allows for absolutely precise cuts.
The Y-peeler, on the other hand, has a sharp, flexible ceramic blade with outstanding corrosion resistance. This makes it perfect for any repetitive peeling tasks, and it's no wonder I've been using it for various fruits and vegetables.
What stood out for me was the ergonomic handle and the ultra-lightweight design of the utility knife. This feature makes the knife incredibly easy to handle, even for extended periods. However, one downside I noticed is that the white ceramic blade tends to discolor over time, especially with certain food items. That aside, washing it immediately after use helps to minimize this issue.
In summary, Kyocera's Ceramic Utility Knife & Y-Peeler Set offers the perfect blend of sharpness, flexibility, and durability, making it an essential addition to any kitchen. While it may have some negative aspects, overall, it's a valuable investment for any food enthusiast.

I recently tried the Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Utility Knife Red, and I must say, it's a game-changer in the kitchen. While the box only contains one item, the knife itself is an impressive piece of engineering. The ergonomics are top-notch, with a comfortable grip that makes the slicing process more controlled and enjoyable.
One key feature that stood out to me is the blade's incredible edge retention. It retains its sharpness ten times longer than steel knives, which is a massive plus for anyone who values the lasting quality of their tools. Moreover, I appreciate how the ceramic material provides a pure and healthy alternative to steel knives, as it doesn't transfer metal ions to food or corrode due to acids or oils. It also never rusts, which is a great bonus.
The Kyocera knife is incredibly lightweight, reducing fatigue when in use, especially during long cutting tasks. While the blade may be half the weight of an equivalent steel knife, it feels like an extension of your hand.
However, there's one downside to this knife—handle with care. The ceramic blade is prone to chipping if not handled correctly. Also, it might be a bit delicate to use for cutting large items or anything that requires a lot of force.
Overall, the Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Utility Knife Red is a well-made, easy-to-use tool that boasts impressive edge retention, a comfortable grip, and a visually appealing design. It's a worthy addition to any kitchen, and I can't wait to showcase its capabilities to my friends and family.

2024.05.20 07:12 geopolicraticus J. G. Fichte and a priori Providentialism

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

19 May 1762 – 29 January 1814
J. G. Fichte and a priori Providentialism
Part of a Series on the Philosophy of History
Sunday 19 May 2024 is the 262nd anniversary of the birth of Johann Gottlieb Fichte (19 May 1762 – 29 January 1814), who was born in Rammenau, Saxony, then part of the Holy Roman Empire, on this day in 1762.
Fichte is often remembered in histories of philosophy as an immediate successor to Kant in the German idealist tradition. While still a young man Fichte wrote and anonymously published Attempt at a Critique of All Revelation. This was in 1792 when Fichte was 30 years old. Many believed that Kant had written this work, given Kant’s earlier critiques of pure reason, practical reason, and judgment, so when Kant denied authorship and identified Fichte as the actual author, Fichte experienced the philosophical equivalent of being an overnight sensation.
But Fichte’s life was an unsheltered as Kant’s life was sheltered. He was a born trouble-maker and was willing to touch the third rail of Enlightenment politics by writing and speaking openly about matters of religion, as revealed by his work on revelation. Fichte is sometimes called inflexible and rigid, though we could also say (a little more charitably) that he was principled and not inclined to compromise. Partly as a result of this temperament, Fichte became embroiled in a controversy in German intellectual life remembered as the Atheismusstriet, or Atheism Controversy.
During this controversy Friedrich Jacobi published an open letter against Fichte in which Jacobi coined the term “nihilism” to describe what he took to be Fichte’s position:
“Truly, my dear Fichte, I would not be vexed if you, or anyone else, were to call Chimerism the view I oppose to the Idealism that I chide for Nihilism. I have paraded my not-knowing in all my writings; in my non-knowledge I have prided myself so to be with knowledge, so perfectly and completely, that I am certainly allowed to be contemptuous of the mere doubter.—I have wrestled for truth with zeal and fervour since childhood as few others; as few others have I experienced my powerlessness—and my heart has grown tender for that—yea, very tender, my dear Fichte—and my voice so gentle! Just as I have deep compassion for myself, as human being, so I have it for others. I am patient without effort; but that I am truly patient without effort costs me a lot. The earth will be light above me—it won’t be long.”
Nihilism was to go on to have quite a career as an idea after Jacobi’s letter. While for Jacobi, the nihilism he attributed to Fichte was the inevitable outcome of reason, nihilism did not remain centered on Jacobi’s critique of Kantian philosophy, but came to signify belief in nothing at all.
Fichte’s controversial stance created a problem for the authorities at the University of Jena, where Fichte was employed at the time. Fichte wouldn’t budge, and this was one of the episodes responsible for his reputation for inflexibility, so the University of Jena dismissed him in 1799. At this point, with little to his name and few prospects, Fichte walked from Jena to Berlin—Google Maps says it takes 55 hours to complete this walk—and eventually he became part of the philosophical scene in Berlin.
Fichte attempted, semi-successfully, to support himself with popular books and lectures. For a philosopher coming from a background of Kantian philosophy—the most technical philosophy of its day—this was a bold project, but he gamely attempted to bring his interpretation of Kantianism to the masses. One of the outcomes of this effort was Fichte’s short book The Vocation of Man (1800). Fichte’s academic work was riddled with jargon, but The Vocation of Man is written in plain language and was intended for a popular audience. However, it’s still a demanding philosophical argument. In it, Fichte articulated a conception of human destiny that is universalistic, rationalistic, teleological, and even infinitistic:
“Let us not ask of history if man, on the whole, have yet become purely moral. To a more extended, comprehensive, energetic freedom he has certainly attained; but hitherto it has been an almost necessary result of his position, that this freedom has been applied chiefly to evil purposes. Neither let us ask whether the aesthetic and intellectual culture of the ancient world, concentrated on a few points, may not have excelled in degree that of modern times! It might happen that we should receive a humiliating answer, and that in this respect the human race has not advanced, but rather seemed to retrograde, in its riper years. But let us ask of history at what period the existing culture has been most widely diffused, and distributed among the greatest number of individuals; and we shall doubtless find that from the beginning of history down to our own day, the few light-points of Civilization have spread themselves abroad from their centre, that one individual after another, and one nation after another, has been embraced within their circle, and that this wider outspread of culture is proceeding under our own eyes. And this is the first point to be attained in the endless path on which humanity must advance.”
Notice that Fichte implies a distinction between two kinds of progress: there is progress toward the highest degree of excellence, and here humanity may have backslid, but there is also progress toward broadly distributed high culture, and here Fichte thinks that his time definitely surpassed previous history. Fichte also says that progress, by which he means moral progress, is an endless path, and we have already seen that it is possible for humanity to experience retrograde moral progress, so the pathway to man becoming purely moral, as Fichte sees it, is endless, it can incorporate reversals, and it can be striving to new heights or to wider diffusion.
This and many other passages point to the infinite perfectibility of man, which shows us the extent to which Fichte had imbibed the ideals of the French Revolution—or, we might say, he had imbibed the ideals of the French philosophers who were instrumental in laying the foundations of the French revolution, and were later arguably co-opted by the revolution, as in the case of Condorcet, who wrote this paean to the infinite perfectibility of man while on the run from the revolutionary gendarme. But the infinite perfectibility of man as Fichte imagines it is a teleology with a real history: things can go wrong, we can get sidetracked, we might pursue one form of moral excellence or another, and so on.
And Fichte also transmuted the French concept of the infinite perfectibility of man in the image of German idealism, producing a kind of philosophical spiritualism. Part of this transmutation of ideals came about because of the direction that Fichte saw the French revolution take as it developed. Many philosophers at the time initially supported the ideals of the French Revolution, but came to see it in a different light after the Terror and the Napoleonic Wars. Fichte as well.
Seeking to rally his countrymen after defeats inflicted by Napoleon, Fichte gave a series of public lectures later published as Addresses to the German Nation. This was more than a half century before the unification of Germany as a nation-state. In the twentieth century this work was savaged by George Santayana in his book Egotism in German Philosophy, which I mentioned in my episode on Wars and Rumors of Wars. Santayana called Fichte “an uncompromising puritan” and in Santayana’s fever dream of German expansionism he imagined Fichte as the source of it all:
“…Fichte gives us prophetic glimpses of an idealistic Germany conquering the world. The state does not aim at self-preservation, still less is it concerned to come to the aid of those members of the human family that lag behind the movement of the day. The dominion of unorganised physical force must be abolished by a force obedient to reason and spirit. True life consists in refashioning human relations after a model innate in the mind. The glorious destiny of Germany is to bring forth and establish the world anew. Natural freedom is a disgraceful thing, a mere medley of sensual and intellectual impulses without any principle of order. It is for the Germans to decide whether a providential progress exists by becoming themselves the providence that shall bring progress about, or whether on the contrary every higher thought is folly. If they should fail, history would never blame them, for in that case there would be no more history.”
Many others also have seen Fichte’s work through the lens of the wars of their time, which were the world wars of the twentieth century, rather than through the lens of the wars of Fichte’s time, which were the Napoleonic Wars.
Fichte knew that he was putting his life on the line by publicly speaking out against the French, as he at one time referenced the fate of Johann Philipp Palm. Palm, a book seller, was connected to a pamphlet, Germany in Its Deep Humiliation (Deutschland in seiner tiefsten Erniedrigung), that angered Napoleon. Napoleon ordered his subordinates to try and execute Palm within twenty-four hours. Palm was tried on 26 August 1806 by a French military tribunal, found guilty, and shot within hours of the verdict. Four other book sellers also were tried were not executed. Fichte knew that the same thing could happen to him in publicly speaking out on behalf of the German people. We can see from incidents such as this that Fichte was in the thick of the history of his own time, sometimes riding the wave and sometimes making waves.
Roberta Picardi notes both the derivation and dependence of Fichte’s views from Kant, as well as Fichte’s divergence from Kant:
“Fichte explores the epistemic status and method of history with an aim which is clearly taken from Kant: the purpose of introducing a systematic and scientific method in the infinite field of the empiricism, of which history is a part, together with experimental physics. As we can read in The Characteristics of the Present Age he wants to obtain ‘a sure progress according to rule instead of an uncertain groping in the dark’ from history, i. e., instead of the ‘Herumptappen’ (this is the German word for ‘groping’) that in the second Preface to the Critique of Pure Reason Kant contrasts with the ‘secure path of a science’.”
But the secure path of science isn’t always all that secure, given that there are multiple scientific pathways, and not all pathways lead to the same end. This is the distinction within Fichte’s philosophy of history noted by Angelica Nuzzo:
“Fichte builds his idea of a philosophy of history upon a paradoxical argument. He pushes to the extreme the claim of the bare factual nature of history as a realm of irrational, not-conceptual, and thoroughly contingent reality. Yet he also maintains that philosophical knowledge of history is possible—although neither as deductive, nor conceptual, nor genetic knowledge. Against the fictitious notion of historical Wahrscheinlichkeit (plausibility, probability), Fichte holds on to the notion of ‘historical truth’ and to its ‘logic.’ Despite its radically empirical character, history can be construed a priori.”
Some of the flavor of Fichte’s a priori approach to history can be gained from his primary work on the philosophy of history Characteristics of the Present Age (Der Grundzüge des gegewärtigen Zeitalters, 1806), in which he decomposes history into Five Principal Epochs, based not on historical contingencies, but rather upon human destiny and moral development:
“…we endeavoured to pre-figure the whole Earthly Life of Man by a comprehension of its purpose;— to perceive why our Race had to begin its Existence here, and by this means to describe the whole present Life of humankind:—this is what we wished to do,—it was our first task. There are, according to this view, Five Principal Epochs of Earthly Life, each of which, although taking its rise in the life of the individual, must yet, in order to become an Epoch in the Life of the Race, gradually lay hold of and interpenetrate all Men; and to that end must endure throughout long periods of time, so that the great Whole of Life is spread out into Ages, which sometimes seem to cross, sometimes to run parallel with each other:—1st, The Epoch of the unlimited dominion of Reason as Instinct: —the State of Innocence of the Human Race. 2nd, The Epoch in which Reason as Instinct is changed into an external ruling Authority;—the Age of positive Systems of life and doctrine, which never go back to their ultimate foundations, and hence have no power to convince but on the contrary merely desire to compel, and which demand blind faith and unconditional obedience:—the State of progressive Sin. 3rd, The Epoch of Liberation,—directly from the external ruling Authority—indirectly from the power of Reason as Instinct, and generally from Reason in any form;—the Age of absolute indifference towards all truth, and of entire and unrestrained licentiousness:—the State of completed Sinfulness. 4th, The Epoch of Reason as Knowledge;—the Age in which Truth is looked upon as the highest, and loved before all other things:—the State of progressive Justification. 5th, The Epoch of Reason as Art;—the Age in which Humanity with more sure and unerring hand builds itself up into a fitting image and representative of Reason:—the State of completed Justification and Sanctification. Thus, the whole progress which, upon this view, Humanity makes here below, is only a retrogression to the point on which it stood at first, and has nothing in view save that return to its original condition. But Humanity must make this journey on its own feet; by its own strength it must bring itself back to that state in which it was once before without its own coöperation, and which, for that very purpose, it must first of all leave.”
We can call Fichte’s Five Principal Epochs a “stadial” philosophy of history, since “stadial” refers to stages. In this passage we gain an appreciation of the necessity of the five stages of history as a developmental process that cannot be gotten around: there is no royal road to the end of the history.
In the Second Lecture from Fichte’s Some Lectures Concerning the Scholar’s Vocation, he makes explicit both the a priori developmental history of humanity and the utopian picture of the ultimate end of human development:
“…a very great man has said, life in the state is not one of man’s absolute aims. The state is, instead, only a means for establishing a perfect society, a means which exists only under specific circumstances. Like all those human institutions which are mere means, the state aims at abolishing itself. The goal of all government is to make government superfluous. Though the time has certainly not yet come, nor do I know how many myriads or myriads of myriads of years it may take (here we are not at all concerned with applicability in life, but only with justifying a speculative proposition), there will certainly be a point in the a priori foreordained career of the human species when all civic bonds will become superfluous.”
The editor says in a footnote that the “great man” mentioned was probably an allusion to Kant’s Idea of History from a Cosmopolitan Point of View. We saw in my episode on Kant how Kant saw the teleology of humanity as establishing the perfect civil constitution, though I also speculated that, if we take Kant’s later writings on history in the context of his early pre-critical work on natural history, this Kantian teleology for humanity is nested within a larger cosmological teleology. By my reading, then, Kant is actually the more naturalistic position, while Fichte is the more anthropocentric, and his ideal is a purely spiritual ideal, even an a priori idea. For example, Fichte isn’t in the least interested to even give an estimate of the period of time that will be required for humanity to abolish all government, but he only points out that this is the ultimate end.
Marx also predicted the withering away of the state after communism had been achieved, and Marx, too, emphasized definite stages in human development that would lead to this outcome. With Kant, Fichte, and Marx all predicting the end of formal human governments we might take this prediction as a distinctive feature of a certain class of philosophies of history. Toynbee, too, saw not exactly the end of the state, but the end of universal civilizations, which would cede their place to universal churches, which sounds to me a lot like Kant, Fichte, and Marx anticipating the ultimate abolition of government in a perfect society.
This we can understand as a kind of inverse teleology, in which it is not (or not only) the advent of some future eventuality that is foreseen, but the abolition of some present state-of-affairs in the future as the goal of human development. For Kant, Fichte, Marx, and Toynbee, there is a dual teleological movement, in which some novel state-of-affairs is to unfold, while a present state of affairs is to give way and disappear as the new order comes to replace it. We could call this a stadial philosophy of history, but it is as much a substitutional philosophy of history: one social order is substituted for another; familiar institutions are to be replaced by novel institutions that take their place.
As far as the new institutions are expected to be an improvement over the old, this is also a melioristic philosophy of history. All progressivist philosophies of history are also melioristic, but we can distinguish between gradualistic meliorism, in which iterated reform eventually converges on a perfect society, which could be a finite or an infinitistic process, and stadial meliorism, in which there is a replacement rather than reform of a social order, and this replacement is an improvement.
For a non-stadial, non-teleological philosophy of history, we can turn to Leopold von Ranke, who was critical of Fichte’s five epochs:
“One of the ideas with which philosophy again and again confronts history as an irrefutable claim is that mankind is on an uninterrupted road to progress, in a steady development toward perfection. Fichte, one of the foremost philosophers in this field, assumes five epochs, a world plan as he says – reason ruling through instinct, reason ruling through law, emancipation from the authority of reason, reason as science, and reason as art. If this or a similar scheme were to any extent true, then general history would have to follow the road of progress which the human race followed in the indicated direction from one age to the next. The sole subject matter of history would then be the development of such concepts as they appear and manifest themselves in the world of phenomena. But this is by no means the case. For one thing, the philosophers themselves have extraordinarily varied opinions about the nature and selection of these supposedly ruling ideas. But they very wisely focus only on a few peoples in world history while considering the lives of all the rest as nothing, as a mere supplement. Otherwise it could not be hidden for a moment that from the beginning to this day the peoples of the world have been in the most varied conditions.”
We saw earlier that Fichte by no means argued for an uninterrupted road to progress, but we can set that aside as being of secondary importance. The antagonism between Fichte and Ranke runs deeper. Ranke is often associated with the emergence of historicism, and sometimes he is identified as the source of historicism. Ranke even was willing to express his historicism in theological terms when we said that all ages are equidistant from God. With this view of history as consisting of co-equal periods each with their own integrity it would be difficult, though not impossible, to argue for progress. In Characteristics of the Present Age Fichte rejects the view that an age can be assessed on its own terms:
“Should our view of the Present Age prove to have been a view taken from the standing-point of this Age itself, should the eye which has taken this view have been itself a product of the Age which it has surveyed, then has the Age borne witness to itself and such testimony must be set aside.”
Fichte, then, needs some criterion for his view of the present age other than the present age itself, and he finds it in religion:
“…what has been the nature of this theory, considered in its essential elements, and to what chief department of human thought it has belonged? I answer:—It was a Religious Theory; all our contemplations were Religious contemplations, and our view of things, and the eye which embraced that view, were Religious.”
Fichte goes one better and actually gives a definition of religion in the next paragraph:
“RELIGION consists in regarding and recognising all Earthly Life as a necessary development of the one, original, perfectly good and perfectly blessed Divine Life.”
Both Ranke and Fichte, then, invoke theological sanction for their conception of history, though this conception is starkly different, with Ranke taking each age to be sufficient unto itself, and no less related to the divine than any other age, while Fichte took each age to be dependent upon a larger framework for its meaning. While Ranke the historian insists on the individual uniqueness of each age, while Fichte the philosopher sees each age in relation to the whole of which it is a part. It is the task of Fichte’s Characteristics of the Present Age to provide for his contemporaries this larger framework so that they can understand their place in history, which for Fichte means understanding their place in the moral development of humanity.
Even Fichte’s conception of religion and moral development is strikingly abstract, as we find a little further on in the last chapter of Characteristics of the Present Age: “…Religion is nothing external,—it never clothes itself in any outward manifestation.” And, “…True Religion does not manifest itself outwardly, and does not impel man to any course of external conduct which he would not otherwise have adopted, but that it only completes his true Inward Being and dignity.” This is not necessary an orthodox position, and we’ve already seen how Fichte got himself in trouble with authorities with his views on religion.
It would seem strange to call Fichte’s philosophy of history a providential philosophy of history, as it seems to have little in common with, say, St. Augustine, but by Fichte’s own account, his is a pervasively religious perspective, and his philosophy of history is an account of humanity’s progress toward moral perfection. This progress is a purely inward fulfillment, without any observational consequences, again, by Fichte’s own account. I’ve run into this view in one other thinker, and that is Simone Weil. In my episode on Weil I quoted her criticism of providentialism of a kind that I called vulgar providentialism:
“Divine Providence is not a disturbing influence, an anomaly in the ordering of the world; it is itself the order of the world; or rather it is the regulating principle of this universe. It is eternal Wisdom, unique, spread across the whole universe in a sovereign network of relations.”
I think Fichte would have agreed with this, and with the examples of both Fichte and Weil we can see that there is a place within the conceptual space of philosophy of history for what we could call a pure providential philosophy of history, or, if you like, an a priori providentialism.
Ranke’s criticism of Fichte is predicated upon the necessity of a vulgar providentialism that is reflected in the empirical world. But if, as Fichte said, religion is nothing external, and it does not impel man to any course of external conduct, neither should it impel any course of external conduct on the world. This also resolves the paradoxical argument that Angelica Nuzzo found at the heart of Fichte’s philosophy of history, since the bare factual nature of history can be distinguished from the providentialism that can be construed a priori.

The Real Cost of Adding a Teen to Your Car Insurance

Let's tackle the elephant in the room – insurance cost for teen drivers. It's no secret that it's significantly more expensive. Estimates range widely, but you can certainly expect a substantial increase. Remember, adding your teen to your policy is cheaper than a separate one. Can you believe that separate policies can cost upwards of $2,000?
To illustrate, adding a 16-year-old girl to your policy could cost between $1,165 and $3,036 annually. However, separate policies can range from $2,453 to a whopping $6,479! Does your teen happen to be a boy? Well, that would cost even more due to their higher likelihood of risky driving behavior. But remember, adding them to your policy still saves you money in the long run.

Top 5 Teen Driving Monitoring Apps

Many car insurers offer discounts for safe driving. For this, you need a teen GPS tracker, which monitors your teen's driving habits. These devices check daily mileage, the time of driving, sudden acceleration or braking, and more. The better the driving, the better your rates. But how about trying out some driving monitoring apps? Here are the top 5 teen driving monitoring apps according to parents:

TrueMotion Family Safe Driving

TrueMotion offers a comprehensive and user-friendly monitoring experience, and the best part is that it's free. It includes the feature of geofencing, allowing you to set boundaries for your teen's driving behavior. The app also allows for speed restrictions and curfews, and if any of these limits are crossed, you'll get immediate notifications. The app tracks your teen's driving habits and grades them on a scale of 100 points, so your teen can see their driving improvement over time. The app requires GPS capability to be enabled on your teen's phone, and it's available for both Android and iOS platforms.

DriveSmart

Another free app, DriveSmart offers a more personalized experience compared to TrueMotion. It's designed more for the teen than the parents, offering the teen opportunities to improve their scores in lagging categories, such as braking. However, it's up to the teen to decide when to start the app. Some notable features include a reminder for the driver to buckle their seatbelt and monthly driving challenges. It's available for Android and iOS phones.

Drivesafe.ly Pro

This app is one of the pricier options (ranging from $4 per month to $35 per year), but it comes with a unique feature: hands-free messaging capabilities. The app automatically puts the phone in hands-free mode when the vehicle is in motion. It reads text messages and emails in real-time and allows the driver to respond accordingly. However, it may take some time to get used to the app, and some research suggests that hands-free mobile device use can still be distracting for drivers. The app is currently available only for Android phones.

Toyota Safe & Sound

Although created by Toyota, this app isn't restricted to Toyota vehicles. It puts the phone in do not disturb mode when the car is moving, similar to Drivesafe.ly Pro's app. If the teen driver exhibits poor behaviors such as speeding or texting, the app automatically plays a predetermined playlist as a form of deterrent.

AT&T DriveMode

AT&T's app is not limited to AT&T customers. It turns on safety features when the car is moving at 15 MPH or faster, which includes muting text alerts and replying to messages with a standard response. If the app is turned off, parents will receive a notification. The app is available for both Android and iOS platforms.

Encouraging Facts About Teenage Drivers

Finally, let’s remember that not all of the changes that come with adding a teen driver to your family are bad. Yes, your car insurance prices will go up; that happens anytime you add additional drivers to a plan, and so it only makes sense that policies would especially get more expensive when you are adding a driver from what is generally considered the riskiest driver pool, drivers between the ages of 16 and 19. Teen drivers are, however, generally safer now than they have been in previous years, with fewer fatalities and accidents reported each year as a general trend.
Additionally, check out the following 10 positive facts about teenage driving: https://www.trackingsystemdirect.com/positive-facts-about-teenage-driving/

Top 10 Positive Facts About Teenage Driving

  1. Seat belt use among teen drivers has been increasing for decades, from only 74 percent 15 years ago to almost 95 percent today.
  2. Another encouraging trend: Whereas 15 years ago nearly 40 percent of teenagers surveyed said they had either ridden with someone who had been drinking or knew of peers who had driven after drinking, that number is much closer to 20 percent now.
  3. Younger drivers have faster reflexes. While this sometimes lends itself to riskier driver behavior, this also means that teen drivers can also make for better drivers, as they may be more quickly able to respond to negative driver behavior by other drivers, or may be better equipped to avoid potential accidents than older drivers.
  4. Similarly, younger drivers are better able to respond to changing traffic laws or traffic patterns. Roundabouts, for instance, are far more common now than they were ten or twenty years ago; teen drivers are far less likely to have trouble with roundabouts than older drivers.
  5. Teen drivers also have better memories than older drivers, meaning they are less likely to forget street names or directions. This can be especially important for navigating complex directions, for instance.
  6. Younger drivers pay more for insurance because of their risk profile, but that also means they help drive down car insurance costs for everyone else.
  7. That also means that if you are in an accident and the other vehicle is driven by a teen driver, it is far more likely that the car insurance company will cover the cost of damages, as teen drivers are often required to have better insurance because of their risk profile.
  8. Learning how to drive can also help teens develop a sense of independence and autonomy that is important, especially as they prepare to go off to college or otherwise begin living their lives as autonomous people and no longer children under their parents’ supervision. (Yes, this can be hard for parents to hear...but it’s also part of watching their children grow up.)
  9. Having a teen driver in the family can also sometimes help free up parents for other tasks. Being able to ask a teen driver to run an errand or take their younger brother or sister to school activity or sports practice, for instance, can be a huge help for busy families.
  10. Giving your teen driver a chance to drive can also help give you a bonding experience, as you can commiserate over just how many bad drivers there are out there!
Regardless of what choices you make—for yourself, your teen driver, and your car insurance options—know there is lots of good information out there. GPS trackers might be an answer for some families, just as they might not be for other families. Ultimately, it is up to you to determine what is the best course of action for you and your car insurance needs. Know, though, that being educated about your options can help you negotiate and reduce car insurance prices for you and your teen driver!

Using Car GPS To Track Teenagers

Live GPS tracking units can be installed permanently or simply hidden on a vehicle operated by a teen which will then give parents the ability to oversee the driving activity of that teen at any time. Car tracking units will document the locations a teen visits, speeds they drive and more. Parents can even compare the driving data with text message records to determine if a teen is texting while behind the wheel. By comparing text and driving records Montana parents can at least eliminate one of the high-risk driving behaviors associated with teenage driving. However, the live tracking data also provides parents a simple way to locate their teen if the teen runs out of gas, becomes lost or simply needs some form of emergency assistance.
Clearly, the issue of safety among teenage motorists in Montana is a serious one that needs to be addressed frequently and intelligently. The old way was not working and if car tracking units are going to help parents in Montana then that should be something discussed in detail. No state wants to have the distinction of being the most dangerous state for teenage motorists and no parent wants to have their child harmed in a vehicle-related accident. Things need to change in Montana.

Best Auto Insurance For Teen Driver

When a teen finally passes their written and driver's examinations at the DMV a whole new world of opportunity is opened up. Solo car rides or drives with friends to burger joints, movie theaters and almost any location are now only a set of car keys away. However, with that freedom can come a substantial cost in the form of car payments and auto insurance. In fact, one study conducted by NerdWallet showed that family car insurance goes up roughly $1500 per year when a teen gets added to the auto insurance plan! Ouch! So what is the best way to keep car insurance for newly licensed teen drivers as low as possible so parents don't go broke trying to keep up with rising auto insurance rates?
Auto insurance providers are data-driven businesses so they are fully aware that teen drivers are for more likely to engage in risky driving behaviors such as speeding. They also understand teen drivers can easily succumb to peer pressure and by doing so make unwise driving decisions. Lastly, car insurers know teens can be careless which can result in potential auto-theft. However, one piece of technology called the GPS car tracker can help reduce many of these liabilities. For example, when a parent equips a vehicle tracker on a teen's car, that parent will then have the ability to monitor everywhere that teen is going and how fast they are driving. What's even better is that the real-time GPS units can also send out alerts to notify parents if the vehicle was stolen or if a teenager is driving their car too fast! Many auto insurance companies recognize the benefits associated with GPS vehicle monitoring and will provide discounts on car insurance packages for this. However, GPS auto tracking technology is more than just a tool to reduce car insurance rates for teens because the devices can literally save lives.
The best car GPS tracking devices will cost parents around $99.00-$199.00 per device.

Grades Matter

Car insurance companies study the facts and they know firsthand that teens that perform well in the classroom are statistically more likely to perform well on the road. In fact, many insurance providers will offer anywhere from a 10-15% discount on auto insurance for teens who maintain a "B" average or better in the classroom. Therefore, parents that keep their kids focused on the schoolbooks will also keep more money in their pockets.

Professional Driving Courses

In every facet of life the one constant is that experience matters. Therefore, teens who go the extra mile by enrolling in various driving programs and professional driving courses are often rewarded by auto insurers with discounted rates.

Shop, Compare And Combine Insurance Plans

Shopping around and comparing quotes is always good advice, but combining insurance plans can also help reduce rates. Family plans where the entire household is on one coverage policy are shown to save families sometimes as much as $3,000 annually! So combine those insurance plans and shop around to find the most cost-effective option!
Auto insurance is not only the law it's also extremely beneficial, especially when/if bad things occur. However, that does not mean that auto insurance for teen drivers should break the bank. Parents can save some cash on their teen auto insurance by investing in GPS tracking systems, inspiring their kids to do better at school, enroll them in professional driving classes. Of course, don't forget to shop, compare and combine auto insurers. Stay safe while driving and always try and save some cash!

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Some Strategies To Lower Teen Car Insurance?

Considering the cost, it's natural to want to lower your insurance expenses. Here are some tips:
  • Compare rates: Shopping around and comparing prices can yield better deals.
  • Look for discounts: Insurers often have discount programs. Did you know that good grades can lead to lower insurance costs?
  • Older cars: Insuring your teen on an older car could save you some cash.
  • Add your teen to your policy: As we've already established, this is a significant money-saver.
  • Consider usage-based insurance: This could reward your teen's good driving habits.

What Is The Most Dangerous State For Teen Driving?

You might think populous states pose the most risk for teen drivers. However, states like New York and California aren't even in the top half for unsafe teen driving. Surprisingly, Montana holds the dubious honor of being the most dangerous state for teen drivers. This fact is sparking a search among Montana parents for new safety measures for their young drivers.
Carinsurance.com conducted a survey focusing on multiple factors. These included teen driver deaths per 100k population, texting behaviors, alcohol use, and insurance costs. It also covered other relevant details. Montana scored alarmingly high on several of these high-risk aspects. It ranks third for teens who text while driving and tops the list for teen drunk driving with 13%. This report, although troubling for Montana parents, is vital for developing better safety measures.
Faced with these findings, many Montana parents are taking action. They're turning to car tracking technology, allowing them to monitor their teens' driving habits directly.

While I'm a big fan of this pocket knife, there were a couple of drawbacks. The first thing I noticed was how easily the blade would snap shut.

Overall, the SHOCFR Shomer-Tec Ceramic Folding Razor Knife was a handy tool to have with me. Its compact size and sharp blade made it perfect for everyday use. However, its low-quality materials and tendency to snap shut may be a deal-breaker for some potential buyers.

The Kyocera knife is incredibly lightweight, reducing fatigue when in use, especially during long cutting tasks. While the blade may be half the weight of an equivalent steel knife, it feels like an extension of your hand.

Overall, the Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Utility Knife Red is a well-made, easy-to-use tool that boasts impressive edge retention, a comfortable grip, and a visually appealing design. It's a worthy addition to any kitchen, and I can't wait to showcase its capabilities to my friends and family.

🔗Premium Ceramic Paring and Santoku Knife Set


https://preview.redd.it/jrmw75brli1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5160d217ea13119cf90d1c61344d551e857e79a
Last week, I decided to try out Kyocera's ceramic knife set for a weekend of cooking and entertaining. I was immediately drawn to the sleek and elegant design of the dual ABS handles in black. The contrast against the gleaming ceramic blades made this set stand out in my utensil drawer. As I pulled them out for the first time, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and apprehension. How would these knives perform compared to my trusty stainless steel counterparts?
The next step was putting these knives through their paces. I used the Santoku knife to slice through fresh fruits and vegetables, and the smaller paring knife proved invaluable when it came to peeling and seeding the berries and cucumbers. I was thrilled to discover that their razor-sharp edge made chopping and mincing effortless, and it held up remarkably well when I tested it on harder produce.
One of the most notable features of these knives is their exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. In fact, I found myself reaching for these ceramic knives more often than my usual set over the weekend. Their lightweight design also made tasks like stirring soups and cutting meats a lot easier on my hands.
However, there was a minor downside that I encountered during the weekend. While these knives are remarkably sturdy, I did manage to chip one of the blades accidently when I used the Santoku for deboning a whole chicken. While this wasn't a deal-breaker for me, I realized that it could be a concern for users who might be more sensitive to such issues in their kitchenware.
Overall, this Kyocera ceramic knife set has become an essential component of my cooking routine. Though some may view the brand's design as somewhat understated, the practicality and exceptional sharpness more than compensate.

As someone who's used this Farberware Ceramic Utility Knife in my daily life, I can attest to its vibrant red handle and its practicality in the kitchen. The ceramic blade is a game-changer, proving itself to be more durable than stainless steel and maintaining its razor-sharpness for much longer. The ergonomic handle, made from a soft touch material, is comfortable in hand during long cutting sessions.
I'd like to mention that the blade cover ensures safe storage, a feature that's often overlooked but truly appreciated. One downside, however, is that this knife, while lovely, is not suitable for all cutting tasks, such as frozen foods or hard cheeses, and requires careful handling when cleaning or storing. Overall, it's a colorful, functional addition to any kitchen.

The handle feels incredible in my hand - it's lightweight, ergonomically designed, and provides a perfect balance for a comfortable cutting experience. I also appreciate the added safety feature of the knife coming with a protective sheath.
On the downside, while the ceramic blade is stainless, odorless, and won't rust or corrode, the protective sheath might not stay on as securely as I'd like it to. But overall, this knife has made my daily cutting tasks so much easier and more enjoyable. Plus, it's a great addition to anyone's kitchen who wants to promote healthy living.

Buyer's Guide

A ceramic folding knife is a versatile and practical tool for any outdoor enthusiast or kitchen chef. These knives offer a combination of durability, sharpness, and portability that makes them a great addition to your collection. In this buyer's guide, we will discuss the essential features to consider when purchasing a ceramic folding knife and provide general advice to help you make an informed decision.

Material

Ceramic is a popular material for folding knives due to its hardness, sharpness, and resistance to corrosion. Look for a ceramic blade that is made from high-quality zirconium oxide, which is known for its durability and edge retention. The handle can be made of various materials like stainless steel, G10, or titanium-carbon, so choose one that is comfortable to hold and offers a good grip.

Blade Shape and Size

Ceramic folding knives come in various blade shapes and sizes, such as drop-point, clip-point, spear-point, and more. Choose a shape that suits your purposes, whether it's for slicing, piercing, or chopping. The size of the blade also matters; larger blades are better for heavy-duty tasks, while smaller ones are more suitable for everyday use and portability.

Locking Mechanism

A secure locking mechanism is crucial for the safety and functionality of a folding knife. Look for a knife with a reliable locking system, such as liner locks, frame locks, or locking bolts. Ensure the locking mechanism is easy to use, yet strong enough to prevent the blade from accidentally opening or closing while in use.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance is essential to prolong the life of your ceramic folding knife. Regularly clean the blade and handle, and apply a blade protector to prevent oxidation. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the ceramic and handles. Store your knife in a protective sheath or case to keep it safe when not in use.

Additional Features

Consider additional features that can enhance your overall experience with a ceramic folding knife. Some options include blade designs with an serrated or partially serrated edge for greater versatility, a pocket clip for easy carrying, or a built-in belt loop for added convenience. Research various models to find a knife that best suits your specific needs and preferences.

Durability and Warranty

Durability is a vital factor when selecting a ceramic folding knife. Look for a knife with a track record of long-lasting performance and solid construction. A reputable brand typically offers a warranty to ensure customer satisfaction, so consider a brand's warranty terms and customer support before making your purchase.

Budget

Determine your budget before shopping for a ceramic folding knife. High-quality knives can be quite expensive, but they may offer better value in the long run with their durability and performance. Consider the features and brand reputation when setting your budget to ensure you get the best knife for your money.
A ceramic folding knife is an excellent investment for anyone who values durability, sharpness, and versatility in their cutting tools.

2024.05.20 07:10 LavishnessRare7420 Re-home success story!

Just read about an owner debating rehoming her reactive dog, and I wanted to give some hope to anyone who is beyond that point. My American Staffordshire mix was brought back to the shelter after a year in her former family. They didn’t have time for her, and that’s all I was told.
When I got her, she was obviously smart, wanted to be a good dog, and was 50 lbs- just at the top end of what I as a medium sized woman was able to control on a leash. I quickly learned she was nervous, rattled, and afraid of her crate. Broke out of two crates. Had accidents in the house if I left even right after going potty. She pulled so much I could barely walk her more than ten minutes, and experimented with three different types of harness (she broke two). Outside, she was completely unfocused, manic, and overstimulated so easily. Immediately lunged, started fence fighting, and barking/snarling very aggressively towards other dogs and some people. She is a high drive breed and needs tons of attention, interaction, and exercise.
Fast forward to a year later, my dog still is highly reactive but is really happy, silly, extremely eager to focus all that energy on learning tricks, and she’s really thriving. She is the perfect work-from-home companion and gets her needs met with me. I’ve learned her triggers. I’ve also learned tons of little things that help distress her without any medication. I cannot imagine having children or not being a homebody, having a more time consuming career that took me out of the house and still being able to give this dog a happy life. I am so glad I picked her, because I know she needed exactly me and we love each other and have so much fun learning together. The point of this post is that there is definitely a home out there that’s right for your reactive dog even if it’s not yours.
We play in the fenced in yard, back of the house away from dogs or people. She does amazingly well with proper guest protocol and introduction. I spent months desensitizing her to her crate and bought her a massive thick steel one that she can’t harm herself on and can feel safe in, we worked our way up from two minutes crate time. And if I’m ever (rarely) gone more than three hours she gets a Rover walker to come give her some exercise and a break- she even puts herself back in the crate when she can sense it’s time. I work with a trainer. We have crazy specific routines for the car or the vet. She can walk 90% of the time with a LOOSE LEASH which is amazing to see after where she’s come from. We still have our ups and downs on walks, but we have learned each other and she recovers so much quicker now if she does get triggered, and I have mostly learned what to do.
We make a great team, I can’t wait to see how she matures through the years in this home that’s set up perfectly for her, and I’m forever grateful her family made the hard decision. I know it had to be hard, but it was the right thing to do in her case.

🔗Yeti 20 oz Rambler Tumbler with MagSlider Lid - Coral


https://preview.redd.it/dpq7yde5li1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f0422f6b3571ded967c65290c32fcdeada56695
I recently had the chance to try the Yeti 20 oz Rambler Tumbler, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for my daily routine. The moment I held this stainless steel on-the-go cup, I knew it was something special. Its durability is unmatched - I could probably drop it off a cliff and it would still be intact (okay, maybe not that extreme, but you get the point).
One of the standout features of this tumbler is its ability to keep my drinks at the perfect temperature. Whether it's a steaming hot cup of coffee or an ice-cold beverage on a scorching summer day, this Yeti tumbler never disappoints. The double-wall vacuum insulation does the trick, ensuring my drinks stay just as I like them for hours on end.
However, there is one aspect that could use some improvement. The tumbler can be a bit slippery, especially for those with smaller hands like myself. A bit of texture on the exterior would make all the difference in preventing any accidental drops.
Another minor issue is the lid, which can sometimes become loose after a few uses. When this happens, it can cause my drink to spill out, leaving a mess on my shirt. However, I've found that a quick adjustment usually solves the problem.
Despite these minor setbacks, the Yeti 20 oz Rambler Tumbler has become an essential part of my daily life. Its stylish design and impressive performance make it well worth the investment, and I can confidently say it's the best tumbler I've ever owned. With its ability to keep my drinks at the right temperature and its sleek, modern look, I can't help but highly recommend this tumbler to anyone in the market for an on-the-go cup solution.

🔗Yeti Cerakote Travel Mug: Ultimate Insulation for Cold & Hot Drinks


https://preview.redd.it/p8x7ea86li1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=085b9b8cdb9f9006bb67d109c1f4c64dd85b31c8
When I first got my hands on the Yeti Rambler 20 oz Travel Mug, I was immediately drawn to its unique High Desert Clay design. The lid - the Rambler Stronghold Lid - was a breeze to use, with its magnet technology making it easy for both right-and left-handed users. The elevated handle was a game-changer, allowing me to enjoy cupholder convenience just about anywhere.
Although I loved the handle, I found that the lid had a few drawbacks. The lid itself was not interchangeable with other Rambler Drinkware models, and I couldn't use different colored magsliders. I wish it was more versatile on that front, but it's worth considering the Stronghold Lid's function and how it fits your personal preferences.
Now, let's talk about the mug itself. The Yeti Rambler kept my drinks cold for a long time, without the need to refill as often as I had to with my old mug. The outside design, with the No Sweat element, helped me to avoid condensation on the outside, keeping my hands dry. The mug didn't leak, even when accidentally knocked over, and the lid's seal was strong.
One thing that stood out to me was the mug's ability to fit into a car's cupholder flawlessly, something that's not always the case in my experience. The unique combination of style, durability, and convenience made this Yeti mug a standout choice for anyone in search of a dependable travel mug experience.

🔗YETI High Desert Clay Rambler 26oz Bottle with Chug Cap


https://preview.redd.it/bxped6h6li1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e19f0c98f106bed07933156383a4e9c05a55eab5
As a frequent adventurer, I got tired of having lukewarm drinks on my outdoor trips. That's when I discovered the YETI Rambler High Desert Clay Bottle with Chug Cap, and boy, was I hooked! The first thing you'll notice about this bottle is its build - it's made of kitchen-grade stainless steel that's puncture and rust-resistant. I tossed this in my backpack, and it didn't even scratch. The insulation works like a charm, keeping my coffee hot for hours and my ice water cold all day long. No more lukewarm frustrations for me!
But let's not forget about the Chug Cap - it's designed to give you a smooth, leak-free drinking experience. However, I did find it a bit tricky to twist off initially. The cap does have a unique design that might take some getting used to. I also wish the company offered individual replacement parts for the cap lid, which seems like a missed opportunity for customization. But overall, I'm really satisfied with the YETI Rambler High Desert Clay Bottle with Chug Cap. It's a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts like myself.

🔗Stylish Yeti 14 oz Rambler Mug for Hot and Cold Beverages


https://preview.redd.it/2l0znue7li1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5cdc3d66b106c5f05667f3a203183b3ac38b2e3
Ever enjoyed a relaxing morning with your favorite hot beverage, only for the warmth to dissipate, leaving you with a lukewarm sip? Say goodbye to that frustration with the Yeti 14 oz Rambler Mug. Made with 18/8 stainless steel, the sturdy construction not only feels solid in your hands but also retains heat incredibly well. The mug's comfortable, full-loop TripleGrip handle is thoughtfully designed for wide hands, making it easy to grab and go.
One of the key features that stood out in my experience is the double-wall vacuum insulation, which keeps your beverages at the desired temperature for hours on end. But the magic doesn't stop there. With the mug's no-sweat design, you can confidently take it on the go without worrying about condensation dripping down the exterior. It truly is the perfect companion for your daily adventures, be it at the office or on a camping trip.
Of course, no product is without its cons. While the mug is undoubtedly durable and built to last, some might find it a tad heavier than their average mug. Additionally, one must exercise caution when handling or storing items in the mug since the triple-loop handle can become a bit of an obstacle in tight spaces.
In conclusion, the Yeti 14 oz Rambler Mug is a game-changer for anyone seeking a reliable and long-lasting mug to keep their beverages at the perfect temperature. With its stylish design and top-notch performance, it's definitely a worthy addition to any coffee lover's collection.

🔗Yeti 14 oz Rambler Mug with MagSlider Lid - High Desert Clay

As a coffee enthusiast, I was excited to try the Yeti 14 oz Rambler Mug with Magslider Lid in the High Desert Clay color. The moment I held it, I could feel the sturdiness and quality of the material. The double-wall vacuum insulation truly works, keeping my coffee hot for hours on end, no matter what adventure it accompanied me on.
What stood out for me was the design of the lid. Not only did it prevent spills, but it also made sipping my coffee on the go much more convenient. Additionally, the DuraCoat finish and lack of sweating made it a great accessory to take with me everywhere.
One thing to note, however, is that while the magnet on the lid is useful in keeping drinks contained, it's not leakproof and should be handled carefully to avoid accidental spills. Overall, I highly recommend this mug to fellow coffee lovers and adventurers seeking a durable, high-quality way to enjoy their beverages.

🔗Durable, Insulated 10 oz. YETI White Tumbler


https://preview.redd.it/zs4ss3i8li1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87e82eb3cace05052d231c5cc6b5156006e0ddad
I recently tried out the Yeti Rambler 10 oz Tumbler in white, and let me tell you, it has been a game-changer for my daily coffee routine. The 10 oz size is perfect for a quick cup on the go, and the wide opening makes it easy to fill and clean. The vacuum-insulated body does an excellent job at keeping my coffee at the ideal temperature, even after several hours.
One of the standout features of this tumbler is its puncture and rust-resistant stainless steel construction. After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say it's built to last. The MagSlider lid is another great addition, providing a secure closure that prevents spills without compromising on ease of drinking.
However, there are a couple of downsides to consider. The lid, while effective, is not fully leak-proof, so I recommend avoiding placing it in a bag or backpack with other items. Additionally, the slightly tapered shape makes it a bit less stable than a straight cup, but it doesn't cause any major issues.
Overall, the Yeti 10 oz Tumbler in white has exceeded my expectations and become an essential part of my morning routine. Despite the minor drawbacks, it's definitely worth the investment for its top-notch quality and durability.

🔗Cerakote Yeti Cup: High Desert Clay Bottle with Insulating Chug Cap for Outdoor Adventures


https://preview.redd.it/cjxjeh89li1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e5a983a7e888acf5243e2b4b50b6cdfb359c452
One sunny afternoon, I decided to bring along my favorite stainless steel bottle, the YETI Rambler High Desert Clay Bottle with Chug Cap, for a long hike in the mountains. The moment I held it, I could feel the quality of the material, the no-sweat exterior, and the comforting weight in my hand. It was the perfect companion for my hike, keeping my water cold and refreshing as I walked up the steep trail.
As I took a break to catch my breath, I noticed that the bottle was surprisingly easy to handle with its TripleHaul handle. The handle, with its quick twist, allowed me to set it down with ease and protect the contents from spilling. The Chug Cap, being the default lid choice, proved to be convenient for filling my bottle quickly, making my hike even more enjoyable.
However, after a few hours of hiking, I started to feel rather parched. I took a sip of water from the bottle, only to find that the cap was a bit hard to hold while drinking. I had to hold the cap itself in order to prevent spills, which proved to be a small inconvenience. Despite this, my YETI Rambler High Desert Clay Bottle with Chug Cap remained an excellent companion on my mountainous adventure.
Upon returning home, I took the time to clean my bottle in the dishwasher, and it was as easy as promised – no more work than what I was already doing. The bottle's leakproof nature gave me peace of mind as I knew my beverages would stay inside, even when I turned it upside down.
Overall, the YETI Rambler High Desert Clay Bottle with Chug Cap made my hike more satisfying and comfortable, providing me with a refreshing beverage whenever I needed it. The sturdy build and reliable insulation make it the ideal companion for any outdoor adventure. Despite the minor drawbacks, the pros outweigh the cons, making it a reliable and enjoyable accessory for my daily life.

2024.05.20 07:06 books_bikes_boobs 30 years old but essentially still a teenager. Looking for advice, inspiration, anything.

Hey everyone. I'll try to keep this brief.
I'm thirty and my life is barely different from when I was a teenager. In the realm of love and romance I'm about what you'd expect (a "wizard" as it used to be called). I haven't had a real job pretty much ever but I've started and quit A LOT, like nineteen total that I can remember, including a very good job that's easily the second biggest regret of my life behind not getting to know my mom more. I don't have much life experience, work experience, social experience, or romantic experience. That's why I say I really just feel like I'm a teenager still.
My mom died in February after a prolonged illness but she rapidly deteriorated. One day she was sick in the same regular way she had been for months and the second day I could barely hear her speak and the third day she was pretty much unconscious. I managed to talk to her on the second day and promised I would get my life together.
It's been a few months and I'm struggling again. The primary advice I'm looking for is work related. I have never essentially worked for more than a few months at a time and I'm 30. It is brutal trying to get interviews for any decent job. Hell, I know it's hard for people with regular work histories. I've resorted to lying on my resume and making up experience (unrelated to the jobs I'm looking for; just to clear the gap up a little). Honestly, the only thing I can get is working at Amazon, which I've done before and hated (it's multiple parts of those 19 prior jobs). I can't ask anyone in my life for help because my resume has no real work experience. And it just seems like any job I can get means losing my weekends or working overnights. On top of that I have around $18k in credit card debt I need to pay off before I can move out or anything like that. It's hard not to feel doomed, especially when my friends are traveling the world full time, making hundreds of thousands of dollars, opening businesses, starting families, buying homes, etc. Meanwhile I've never had a job or even a girlfriend, and I'm not building a career or wealth or anything.
My life isn't totally doomed. I managed to get a college degree, graduating in 2020 with a computer science degree from a decent school. I only have Dep. of Education student loans which means with the SAVE plan I'm pretty safe on those. I do have a solid group of friends. I'm not homeless and can live at home. I recently became an artist and am very driven about it and into it which has been a major boon in my life.
But some of that good stuff is a double edged sword. If I didn't have a degree then getting one would be an obvious step. But I do have one, and I have no work experience (let alone experience in any white collar field), and it's been over three years since graduating so I'm not in that "new grad" territory any longer. How can I possibly solve this? My goal is to become a technical writer. I'm worried I'll never have a shot again at upward mobility.
Similarly, my friends are great but like It's becoming harder to relate to them, and if I take a job working weekends or overnights it'll be even harder to ever see them. They're already talking about a big group vacation this summer but I won't be able to go because jobs in America won't even give you reasonable unpaid time off. One of the ballasts of my mental health is becoming an anchor.
Anyway, I'm not looking for advice that's really specific. I don't think it'd be possible to give any. I guess I'm just curious for general advice or stories or any inspiration or hope you can offer.
Thanks.

🔗Killer Instinct Lumix Speedring Crossbow Scope: Improved Targeting for Hunting


https://preview.redd.it/h5bajq2cki1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84abfbc6b1ce31df3b82ee257f840537498c2c48
Using the Killer Instinct MSCKI-1020 Lumix Speedring 1.5 to 5 x 32 IR-E Crossbow Scope has been quite an experience. The scope has made hunting much more enjoyable for me, thanks to its amazing abilities to lock onto and track moving targets from vast distances.
One of the features that really stood out is the durability of the metal case. This thing has a real tank-like feel to it, resisting impacts and harsh weather as if it was made for it. The spring-loaded covers on the lenses also proved to be quite reliable, keeping the lenses safe and scratchless until I was ready to hunt.
The built-in Speed Ring is another aspect of the scope that has impressed me. Making adjustments for my crossbow's speed has been a breeze, and the illuminated reticle is a big help when it comes to sighting in low-light conditions. I particularly appreciate the contrast the red/blue illumination provides.
However, there was one downside that I found a little disturbing. The scope came in a condition that made it apparent that someone had used it before. I was not happy with this fact, especially considering I had paid for a brand new product.
Overall, the MSCKI-1020 Lumix Speedring 1.5 to 5 x 32 IR-E Crossbow Scope is a product that I would recommend, even with its minor fault. It certainly helped me become a better hunter, and it would do the same for anyone looking to enhance their hunting experience.

🔗Killer Instinct Lumix 4x32 Black Ir-E Crossbow Scope with LED Illumination


https://preview.redd.it/lnbgjpgcki1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18565c92db7821448f52d9020ce5cbcb40445293
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Killer Instinct Lumix 4x32 Ir-E Crossbow Scope. This black 1021 model was a great addition to my hunting gear, providing exceptional clarity thanks to its multicoated optics and 1-inch mono tube construction. The fast focus eyepiece is a game-changer, allowing me to quickly adjust my sight even when on the move.
One feature that stood out was the illuminated cross-hair reticle, which came in both blue and red. It was perfect for low-light situations, making it easier for me to spot my target. I appreciated the adjustment click value of 0.5 inches at 100 yards, as it gave me accurate and consistent shot adjustments.
However, there were a few downsides to this otherwise great scope. The exit pupil was smaller than I would have liked, making it a bit more challenging to see the cross-hair reticle at times. Additionally, the scope's weight was lighter than expected, which might not have been ideal for everyone.
Overall, I'm happy with my experience using the Killer Instinct Lumix 4x32 Ir-E Crossbow Scope. It's a quality product with some small drawbacks, but its pros certainly outweigh the cons. If you're in the market for a reliable crossbow scope, this one is definitely worth considering.

🔗Compact Variable Multi-Reticle Crossbow Scope for 300-410 fps Shooting


https://preview.redd.it/df8zvaucki1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7233e5370b0262af888d76641291526e147c000
As a reviewer who's been using the Dead-Zone Scope from Excalibur, I can confidently say it's a game-changer for crossbow enthusiasts. This 32mm, 1" tube scope offers unparalleled light transmission and clarity that makes it an ideal choice for those who prefer the thrill of hunting. Its variable multi-reticle design suits crossbows shooting in the 300-410 fps range, providing a perfect fit even for experienced hunters.
One of my favorite features is the bold crosshairs, which make it easy to sight in, even for us who don't have the sharpest eyesight. The scope provides a crystal-clear view, which has been essential in my hunting endeavors, hitting the bullseye consistently at 60 yards. Installation was a breeze, and the ease of adjusting the focus makes it a standout product.
However, one thing that could be improved is the set screw. After a little mishap with the speed ring, it's proven to be a bit tricky to tighten back up. Apart from that, I wholeheartedly recommend this Dead-Zone Scope to anyone looking for an accurate and reliable companion on their hunting adventures.

🔗Powerful Dual-Speed Digiscoping Scope with Extra Low Dispersion Lens


https://preview.redd.it/ao6gub7dki1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06bc82eb96070c825ec1109ae09626d9312299ba
Recently, I had the chance to get my hands on the Knight PT 72mm f/6.0 Ed-Apo Photography Scope from Snypex. This digiscoping scope was a game changer for my photography, allowing me to capture stunning images with my DSLR camera.
One of the standout features of this scope was the dual speed focuser. It made it incredibly easy to achieve precise focus, even in low-light conditions. The scope's focal length of 432mm and f-stop of f6.0 provided a beautiful and sharp image, which was especially noticeable when using the optional eyepiece.
Moreover, the scope was built to last, with a durable white paint coating on its aluminum housing. The 1/4"-20 tripod mounts at both ends of the shoe made it easy to balance the weight, and the integrated dovetail plate was a handy addition for quick-release heads.
However, I did encounter a minor issue when trying to attain focus on stars. Despite the scope's apochromatic doublet lens, I found that achieving proper focus was a bit challenging. Additionally, while the price was reasonable at $160, I noticed that it was listed for a much higher price on the product website.
Overall, the Knight PT 72mm f/6.0 Ed-Apo Photography Scope from Snypex is a powerful and versatile tool for photography enthusiasts. With a few minor adjustments, it could become an exceptional choice for both digiscoping and spotting scopes.

🔗Bresser 88-20009 Spotting Scope Camera for Exploring Hard-to-Reach Spaces


https://preview.redd.it/g1rv7whdki1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8db4446214fc011dc903fb161e4b18900ed55e93
Bresser See-It Scope HD: A Handy Tool for Exploring the Hidden
Recently, I found myself in a situation where I needed to take a closer look at something in a hard-to-reach place. I grabbed my Bresser See-It Scope HD, set up the flexible coil and bright LED light, and got to work.
One of the most impressive things about this scope is its versatility in navigating tight spaces. The coil is flexible and easy to maneuver, allowing me to explore various angles of the subject. Plus, the bright LED light was a game-changer when it came to illuminating dark areas.
The 2.31-inch LCD screen is large enough to gather a group of friends or coworkers around to view the action together. I appreciate how the digital camera mounted on the coil makes it easy to record video and take photos without having to switch to a different device.
That being said, there were a few downsides to using the Bresser See-It Scope HD. For one, the scope's 1 times magnification might not be enough for those looking for a more detailed view. Additionally, I noticed that the device's image quality wasn't on par with higher-end digital camera options.
Overall, the Bresser See-It Scope HD is a handy tool for those seeking accessibility and illumination in hard-to-reach areas. While its digital camera feature leaves room for improvement, the flexibility and bright LED light make it a worthwhile addition to any toolbox.

https://preview.redd.it/2yurib1eki1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f8c1dff1bb1b29e20640a076fdba51962554112
Recently, I found myself using the Barska Blackhawk 20-60x60 Spotting Scope, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. As someone who enjoys outdoor activities, this scope proved to be an essential companion.
One of the remarkable features of this scope is its wide variety of models with variable zoom magnifications. It allows me to see objects in greater detail no matter the situation. The multi-coated optics maximize light transmission, resulting in superior brightness and clarity, even during darker hours. In addition, the massive objective lens delivers brighter images in low-light conditions.
The rubber armor offers protection and shock absorption, while its ergonomic design enhances overall handling. Its convenient and good portability is a game-changer for someone like me who loves to explore the outdoors. The spotting scope is perfect for all-weather conditions, and the built-in Porro prism system offers greater depth perception and a wider field of view.
However, one downside I encountered was difficulty achieving clear focus at the highest zoom level. Fortunately, a slight adjustment in focus corrected the issue, and I was able to enjoy the scope's remarkable performance once again.
In conclusion, the Barska Blackhawk 20-60x60 Spotting Scope is a reliable and versatile tool for anyone who appreciates the beauty and detail of the outdoors. Its impressive features, coupled with its budget-friendly price, make it a worthy investment for anyone seeking to enhance their outdoor experiences.

I recently went on a nature trip and decided to bring along the Bresser Spektar 15-45x60 Zoom Spotting Scope. It was quite compact with dimensions of 365 x 80 x 165 mm and only weighed 3.74 lbs, making it easy to pack into my backpack. When I arrived at my destination, I eagerly unpacked this handy spotting scope and eagerly started looking through it.
The first thing that caught my attention about the spotting scope was its versatile magnification range of 15-45x. I didn't have to worry about setting up a tripod as it was conveniently portable. However, it was just as easy to support it by resting it on a parapet, making it even more user-friendly in a variety of settings.
As I started using the spotting scope, I couldn't help but notice the outstanding optics of the Bresser Spektar series. The image clarity was top-notch, and the focus knob was surprisingly precise despite being so compact. Despite some minor flaws, like a slightly darker optics in some instances, the overall value of this spotting scope was highly impressive.
After trying it out at a range of distances and in different light conditions, I was quite impressed and ended up highly recommending this spotting scope, especially for outdoor enthusiasts on a budget, who are still looking for an outstanding, affordable tool for their hobby. Its ability to deliver a crisp visual experience even at high magnifications set it apart from the competitors in the same price range. The spotting scope came with a ready-to-use bag, a user manual, and was available for a store pickup at Walmart, which further added to the convenience of the purchase.
Overall, I found the Bresser Spektar 15-45x60 Zoom Spotting Scope to be a great companion during my exploration of nature's beauty, and I would highly recommend it for those seeking impressive optics without breaking the bank.

And while the telescope comes with a good quality carrying case, it's worth mentioning that it can be a bit snug, making it a bit of a challenge to fit the scope inside.

However, one downside I noticed is the alt-azimuth mount, which feels a bit lightweight. It also requires a solid equatorial mount and guiding method for longer exposure astrophotography. Despite these minor issues, I believe the StarTravel 120mm is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a beginner's telescope, or someone who wants a reliable and portable option for observing the night sky.

Buyer's Guide

Centerpoint Scopes are an excellent option for hunters, shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts who are looking for high-quality, reliable, and accurate scopes. These scopes come with various features that cater to different preferences and needs. This guide will help you understand the essential features, considerations, and advice when choosing a Centerpoint Scope.

Features to Consider


https://preview.redd.it/95574cfkki1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e973991abd9e3b7740ea7f0f9a37e0d806db4bb4

Magnification

Magnification is a crucial factor when choosing a Centerpoint Scope. The magnification determines how much the object appears to be enlarged through the scope. Higher magnification offers better precision, but it may also lead to more image distortion. Consider the magnification range that suits your needs and shooting distance.

Objective Lens Diameter

The objective lens diameter determines the amount of light that enters the scope, affecting brightness and clarity. A larger objective lens diameter allows more light to enter, but it may also increase the scope's weight and size. Choose an objective lens diameter that balances light gathering capability and portability.

Field of View

The field of view (FOV) is the area observable through the scope. A wider FOV is beneficial for tracking and locating fast-moving targets, but it may compromise precision. Choose a Centerpoint Scope with an FOV that suits your shooting style and target type.

Eye Relief

Eye relief is the distance between your eye and the scope's eyepiece for comfortable viewing. Insufficient eye relief may cause eye strain or injury. Opt for a Centerpoint Scope with a generous eye relief distance that accommodates the use of shooting glasses.

Reticle

The reticle is a crosshair that helps you aim and estimate distance. Different reticles provide various advantages, such as improved target acquisition, holdover, or range estimation. Choose a Centerpoint Scope with a reticle that suits your shooting style and target type.

Construction and Durability

A well-built Centerpoint Scope can withstand rough handling and harsh weather conditions. Look for features such as waterproofing, fog-proofing, and shock-resistance to ensure the scope maintains accuracy and reliability.

2024.05.20 07:02 Similar_Profit6832 General Surgery VS Psychiatry!!! Please HELP

Hi Guys,
I am currently an intern working in metro VIC. The reason I am making this post is because I am currently in a very confused decision-making situation that I would honestly appreciate any opinions/anecdotes on. I am very passionate about the 2 professions that I have mentioned in the title, general surgery and psychiatry, however I do not have a clue as to which path I should walk down considering how different they are.
Below is my analysis of both professions from the rotations I have done in them as a medical student and as an intern.
General Surgery (Pros):
General Surgery (Cons):
Psychiatry (Pros):
Psychiatry (Cons):
I would highly appreciate anyone willing to share their opinions/experiences regarding this dilemma I am facing.

My son [19M] filed harassment charges against me and my husband because we were making him go to college

Me and my son moved to US last year. I was a single mom for 16 yrs before I met and then married my husband. I saved up money so he can go to college. Where I came from, college is very important. We moved to a small town and my son found new friends. These friends in my opinion were not a good influence. I am used to polite and academically oriented kids back home. These new friends of his make fun of his books and his plans of going to college.
Before his HS graduation, me and my husband took him to several unis in the state so he could get a feel for which one he would like to go to. Then after he graduated from HS, I told him I have about $20k saved up for college. He said it is not going to fit because tuition is pretty expensive nowadays. I suggested he can just go to a community college 20 mins away and live at home to save money. He agreed and I gave him access to the fund (joint account).
Long story short, he did not enroll himself and instead started partying a lot and used the money on expensive dates with his gf. He moved out and stopped talking to me. I worked hard to save that up for more than a decade and I am upset that he wasted it in less than a year. Me and my husband went to his place and asked that he pay me back since it is specifically for college and not "fun money".
He called the police and filed harassment charges. I told the police to review the cctv footage because the whole time I was talking to him through his ring cam, I was calm and reasonable and my husband was just standing behind me not saying anything. I was outside the door talking, he never even opened the door to talk to me face to face. The police said there's nothing he can do if my son and his gf felt "harassed", he can file a restraining order if he wants to.
Back home, this is unforgivable to treat your parent like this. But here in US, I was treated almost like a criminal. My sister in law said it is my fault for confronting him and that the money is his to spend since I made him a joint account owner. Am I wrong?
Edit: People cursing me because I said something about wanting to throw my chancla on my son's face, to be clear I have never laid my hands or my flip flops on him ever. But after what he did, my intrusive thoughts wants me to throw it but of course I won't. If he called the cops on me just because I want to talk to him, what more if I threw my flip flops on his face??
His relationship with me before moving to US was fine. He knew my struggle as a single mom and he always try to help me around the house. I was not strict at all he was free to go out with friends anytime. He was even thrilled to have a father figure and my husband always try to make him feel included in everything.

Lesson learned never give someone access to money unless you’re ok with them running away with it
OOP: He was a good boy before moving here. I thought he knew my struggles and how much I sacrificed to save money. I just thought he would never betray me like this.

dingdongsbtchs
Honestly I think a lot of parents don’t realize the depth of their children and forget that just because you think of them as one way doesn’t mean they don’t have other layers that can make them a different person. Sadly your son has found some less than savory friends to surround himself with and now he has to live with the decision he made. I honestly wouldn’t offer help for university again and would leave communication up to him. Also has there been any questions or discussion of potential drug use??

2workigo
The money is gone. And since he was a joint account holder and a legal adult, there’s nothing to be done except refuse to help him financially anymore. Let him figure it out on his own from now on. The friends he had will likely drift away now that he no longer has a fat bank account to fund their party lifestyle.

Treacle_Moon
Her biggest fault is waiting till it was all gone to do something about it. She had joint access. She could have stepped in long before now and tried to deal with it. Too little too late unfortunately.

Update - 12 days later

I still have not heard from my son and I don't expect him to reach out. But his gf's mother has called me asking if my house is still open to him. I asked her why, it turns out he hasn't paid his share of the last month's rent and his gf had to pay it for him.
I said it is not my problem and he is not welcome anymore in my house since he is an adult. The gf's mom said "what kind of mother would not extend help to his teenage son?". She further insulted me and said now she knows why he left me.
At this point I really don't care anymore. I tried to help him get a good start in life but he wasted it. Aside from the $20k, he lived rent free in the house, free food, free phone, car, gas money, and I pay all the utility bills and his health insurance. All I asked is that he focus on his studies. Finish at least an associate's degree so he can get a decent job and be fully independent from me asap.
For some who asked why college is so important to me, as an immigrant, we are held under certain standards. We have to prove to USCIS that we will not become a public charge -- meaning we won't rely on any government aid. I want him to be able to be a good immigrant and become productive. I don't even know if he can become a citizen if he makes below poverty income. I was just trying to make sure he gets to live a good life.
Some of you asked if he even wanted go to to college. Back when we were in our home country, he begged me to pls send him to college no matter what.
P.S. The harassment charge was closed for lack of evidence of harassment, a lot of what he said were lies.
Edit: Another thing that gave me chills was when he moved out it was the middle of the night and me and my husband were both asleep. My son left the front door hanging open (I saw it in the camera). We live in a small town but there's a lot of crime in our area, someone could have gone in and done something bad.

Some people just have to learn the hard way, his gf probably had a good time with him spending his college fund now 5hat it’s gone the fun is over. So comes the reality.

PoliteCanadian2
So you’re saying this is the Find Out stage that follows the Fuck Around stage?

Sharp_Mathematician6
Yep

SnooWords4839
His GF's mom has no right to bitch you out. Your son left, spend his college fund and now has to figure out how to adult. You do not owe him anything at this point.

ladyalcove
She's just calling her out because she's realizing that now she has to take care of this bum.

butterfly-garden
Yup. She, too, is in the Find Out stage.

** New Update*\*


Update 2 - 8 days later

His girlfriend's mom called me again today and basically handed the phone to my son to "sort it out between us". I let him just talk and tell me what is on his mind. Here's a summary of his point of view:
So basically he felt deprived as a kid and that he thinks he was just healing his inner child when he spent the money. He said his friends told him I owe that to him for bringing him to this world. He thinks that I should not have a child if I can't afford these things.
I asked him why he left the door open that night. He went silent for a few seconds then said "I just thought that if the house get robbed, I could just say I cashed the money from the bank and the robbers must have found it". Unbelievable.
At this point I was so emotional and I was a crying mess. I told him I am deeply sorry that I was his mom and that he had to grow up feeling deprived because I was poor. Then he said "Oh stop with your guilt tripping, you are saying that to make me feel bad.
Oh and he also said he hates it when I do this. I don't yell like that lady but I pretty much bug him to get up and help me set the table. I never get a response so I had to raise my voice higher. He said I was so rude. But he grew up with this. This is me being me. All moms back home do this. Al of a sudden he is comparing me to his mom's friends. In our culture we want food to be eaten while it is fresh from the stove. I spent 1 hr cooking after a long day at work, the least you can do is help me set the table and eat my food while it's nice and warm.
I hung up. My heart is broken in so much pieces. Am I wrong?

Whitewitchie
He has a chip on both shoulders. Leave him be. It's despicable he left the door open so you were vulnerable to burglars. Absolutely no consideration for your safety at all.

Mtndrums
Dude's a spoiled brat, and an idiot to not see his "friends" were using him. You need to cut him off and let him figure things out.
dublos
Not spoiled. Mom could not spoil him.
Entitled.
This child believes he's entitled to the same things his friends grew up with, even though his parents provided the best they could provide.
u/MentalPlatypus5193 your son has made his bed. Let him sleep in it.

I am not the OOP. Please do not harass the OOP. Please remember the No Brigading Rule and to be civil in the comments

2024.05.20 07:01 Secunderunderunde Ache motivos pra criar algo, por mais idiota que seja.

Mais uma reflexão da madrugada. Por um acaso do destino, encontrei um servidor de Poketibia recém inaugurado, com uma proposta de relembrar os anos de 2011/2012 (época que eu joguei MUITO o Ot Pokémon "original"). Imediatamente fiz o download e comecei a jogar, mas sempre achei estanho os top level sempre ter muita vantagem em hunts, tinham mais velocidade, pareciam até robôs....
Após entrar em uma guild, acabei descobrindo que o uso de bot era super comum e se eu quisesse, bastava pagar 25 reais pôr mes pra um cara que tinha esses bots, fiquei indignado e logo pensei "To tentando focar mais na programação (trabalho com infra, minha programação é coisa super simples), e se eu desenvolver meu próprio bot e quem sabe, até comercializar ele???"
Então aproveitei a tarde desse domingão, fui pesquisando varias formas de criar um bot, acabei me interessando por C++ para utilizar como minha ferramenta e pronto, comecei a estudar e fazer meus primeiros testes.
Como sempre dou um conselho pra galera iniciante, hoje minha dica é: CRIEM ALGO, resolva algum possível problema da sua vida, ficar só copiando Pokedex e Netflix acaba sendo muito chato, quando você faz algo que você mesmo criou, vai buscar sempre aprimorar sua criação, onde acaba melhorando seu conhecimento da área.
Mas é aquilo, sempre tenha o pé no chão, não vai querer desenvolver o execel 2.0, pegue aquela ideia que você até julga meio idiota, como sei lá, uma roleta para escolher o restaurante de sábado, um marcador que mostra se vc fechou ou não a janela ou uma lista de compras que atualiza os valores de acordo com o site do mercado. Programador é só um resolvedor de problemas, sabendo resolver os seus, resolver o dos outros é só um detalhe kkkkk.

2024.05.20 06:58 Justchillin562_ Mas?

I saw Kingdom of The Planet Of the Apes today. I honestly really liked the movie. I still get so amazed with the graphics, cgi and how these movies are made. I liked the storyline of this movie, I really enjoyed the characters, and it was so visually appealing. After the movie though…I wanted more. Am I the only one who was left wanting more? I know there are more movies to be made but I wanted more detail and explanation.
Top things I wanted more of:
• The funeral at the beginning was pretty touching. But bruh this is Caesar we are talking about. Give me something more than that! We’ve been with Caesar since 2011, we watched him grow, lead, make mistakes, and create a family, save his kind, fight, etc… and that’s the best we can get?
• I knew going into the movie that it wasn’t going to pick up right after the last movie besides seeing the funeral. But I really wanted to see life after Caesar with the apes we knew(Maurice, Rocket, Bad Ape, Caesars baby son). I wanted to see how they established order, who lead them after that, how they built their new homes in the new land, how/ who Caesar’s philosophies got carried by. I wanted to see problems that may have occurred.
• We got to know Noa and his clan. His clan all seemed so interesting to me. We met his father who was also very interesting. I felt like we did not get much from that though. They spoke of the elders and the father a handful of times but I wanted to know more about them. Who taught them? What made them get into the eagles? Who are they descendants of ? Seemed to be missing a lot of details of a pretty big aspect of the movie.
• Raka was so cool! I’m like dang are all the orangutans chill like this? First Maurice and then this dude. I liked how he carried Caesar’s beliefs with him and was trying to teach others. I just wanted to know and see how that info got passed down to him. I also wanted to see his little hide out more and things he had like his books and stuff. I also wanted to know who his friend was who got killed. Then just as we got to know him more, he “dies”. I mean we didn’t see a body so maybe we might see him again?
• Last but not least. How could not be interested in Proximus? He was a character I thought we needed more than one movie to dissect. I wanted to know how he got to king status, what drove him to believe what he believed, his past, more of his style of leadership, etc. I felt like we didn’t get to know him well before he was taken out. Like Raka, we didn’t see the aftermath of the fall, so he could be in another film later on. I just felt like he should have had more screen time and I wish we had some more background on him.
Overall I felt like it was a good movie. I just hate feeling like there should have been more. I honestly could have sat down for another hour if it meant some of these things went into greater detail. I would have left the movie more satisfied instead of wanting more. Hopefully it is later explained but I don’t know.

I recently tried out the DeWalt DCLE34220GB, a 20V Max 2-Spot Cross Line Combo Green Laser. This powerful tool impressed me with its fine adjustment feature, which made setting it up faster and more accurate. The 20V Max platform offered a range of possible runtimes, with an impressive 23 hours on a single 2 Ah battery (not included).
One of the standout features was the magnetic mount, which made it a breeze to attach to most steel construction materials. However, I noticed that the locking pendulum could sometimes be a bit fiddly to adjust. Overall, this laser is a valuable addition to any toolkit, especially for those building rail mounted structures.

🔗Self-Leveling Construction Laser for Interior and Exterior Applications

Using the Trimble Spectra Precision HV301 laser has been a game-changer for my construction projects. It's a versatile device, ideal for both indoor and outdoor work, and can handle an impressive range of tasks, including leveling and aligning forms and footers. The laser's impressive clarity makes it easy to spot from any angle - it even rotates 90 degrees, offering both plumb and perpendicular references.
The HV301's self-leveling nature saves me a significant amount of time and effort in making sure the device is perfectly level before beginning each task. I also appreciate how the package includes everything one might require in the field, such as a carrying case, a laser receiver, rechargeable batteries, and a charger.
That being said, the device did not come with a manual, which I found a bit inconvenient. Additionally, the device's battery life could be extended - it ran out after just a few hours of use.
Overall, the Trimble Spectra Precision HV301 laser has become an indispensable tool in my construction projects, due to its adaptability and high visibility. Despite the few drawbacks, it's a worthwhile investment for anyone in the construction business.

🔗Accurate Green Beam Line Generator Laser for Outdoor Levels


https://preview.redd.it/jcnt1rt9ji1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76360c37b985dd7caaa86ff3336d5faa89807823
I recently had the chance to test out the Craftsman Green 55-foot Self-Leveling Outdoor Line Generator Laser Level with Cross Beam, and let me just say, it's been quite the adventure! Now, I'll admit, I'm not exactly the handy type of person, but I figured it was time to step up my game and tackle a project or two around the house. As a complete novice, this laser level seemed like the perfect tool to help me out.
The first thing that stood out was the brightness of the green laser beam. It made the cross beam visible like never before, even in the daylight. The self-leveling feature was also a fantastic addition, as it made my life so much easier. Instead of trying to figure out the angle on my own, I simply turned the switch on and off until I heard the beep, and the laser level did the rest of the work for me.
However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks I ran into. The first issue came when I tried to use it outside. Although the product description said it could be used outdoors, I found that the laser beam didn't have quite the range I had hoped for. In fact, the brightness started to fade at around 10 feet, and completely disappeared by the time I reached 20 feet. I had to rely on a tripod and position it very close to the wall in order to see the laser line.
Additionally, the 3 position lock switch with manual mode felt a bit tricky to use at first. I needed to refer to the instruction manual to figure out exactly how it worked and how to move between the different modes. Once I got the hang of it, however, it became pretty straightforward.
Despite these small drawbacks, I can honestly say that I'm quite happy with this laser level. Its brightness and ease of use made an absolute novice like me feel confident in tackling a few projects around the house. If you're just starting out and need a reliable tool to help you level, this little green machine just might be the perfect fit for you.
