Succulent not grown for years
Inherited this succulent from my partner, it’s been in an old pot for the last 3-4 years and only just repotted it but previously it hadn’t grown from this size. It fell out its pot a long time ago and not sure if that’s what’s done it.
Any help to see if this can grow is greatly appreciated, currently near our patio door but not in direct sunlight, water it once every few weeks or so.

2024.05.20 09:24 InterestedUser345 Height: the game minute 37

No one knows Salomon and where he comes from. Is he dead? - only a suggestion. And if you would bet your whole money (if got to much) on the Height`s themselves, on this story or a technique wich helps creating, you could not beat the Salomon story. It is too old and gets stronger everytime - it is not beaten. But this autor got`s Mustava Height and he understands this naturally. At any moment of any game he can destroy such a vessel. In minute 37 he said: "I think i am only balast for this community in this situation. I am going to grab my nephew for a skate-ride here in this beautiful mexico-city."

How can I fix these lining holes in my Bauer skates?
There’s a hole in the lining on the inside corner of both of my skates. Inside corner as in inside edge side.
The holes started off small but now the hard plastic is about to pop out and the lining hole is getting too close to the lace hole.
My Bauer hockey skates are only 1 year old and I don’t want to replace them. How can I fix this issue? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

2024.05.20 09:23 NEVER_LACKING Crazy story but of how tough these little guys are.

So I was bringing my baby bearded dragon outside to get fresh sunlight for a little when I could because it’s good for them and to get him used to being outside. Always had him in my hand being super careful because the little guys are always trying to base Jump or get tweaked by whatever is around. Well even with me being careful sure enough the little guy somehow slips my grip and in the blink of an eye darts under the worst thing around. A shipping container that we use for storage. It’s about an inch off the ground and my guy was 3 months old so he was able to fit. I could barely look under this thing it’s so tight to the ground but I could see him so I run in to get something to fish him out and when I come back he’s just gone. Feeling terrible I look and look with no sign. Being so young and small it was a bad situation and that much worse than if he was an adult. I look every day and about 3 weeks goes by. Temps are below freezing at night 40s in the day. I pretty much knew he was done… until one night I randomly went outside and just looked under the container with a flashlight and he’s sitting there right where he originally went in but looks dead and not in good shape. I spend the next hour building a jack to lift this huge container to rescue him which I finally do. He’s obviously not in the best mood when I do but he’s alive! I get him inside washed up and fed and everything and the little guy is 100% completely fine. Starts doing his usual routine like he never left. Apologized to him and now where best friends. Long story short be careful with them outside.

2024.05.20 09:22 Papicola [Request] [Steam] Helldivers 2 (39.99$) (Attempt 3)

Good morning GiftofGames! I am making this post to play a game that reminds of one of my favorite games called Deep Rock Galactic
Hell divers 2 is easily one of the best games released this year. From the gunplay, atmosphere, humor, graphics and the community; all of this helps creates a world that makes players want to put dozens of hours into it.
I was lucky enough to be gifted a game called Deep Rock Galactic on this exact subreddit. I loved working with a team and focusing on PVE rather than most multiplayer games being PVP. Working with others and helping others was the main reason why I loved DRG so much and put hundreds of hours into that game. Then seeing how in hell divers ever mission helps with major orders makes me want to put hundreds of hours into it.
I don't even own the game, yet I still keep up with the war effort from the YouTube channel Super Earth Galactic War Data Archive. I knoe about the laet major orders and how we are losing ground in both fronts and would love to help out anyway I can. This is exactly what I'm looking for, a video game that is a fps, PVE, and that your efforts is for a better cause. I would love to play and help out anyway I can.
That's why I am making this post. To play a game that looks to be a game where I will put dozens of hours into it while also helping out others. I love Deep Rock Galactic and seeing helldivers 2 reminds me SOO much of that game. Thank you so much for reading my post, this community has helped me out so much already and I appreciate you all. I hope I can meet y'all on the battlefield in the name of freedom.

2024.05.20 09:20 FirmTransition6467 Seeking Advice on Handling a Predatory Lecturer Without Jeopardizing My Future

I'm in a difficult situation at my university and need advice. A senior lecturer, who is over 50, is trying to influence and sleep with a 19 year old student from a younger batch. This lecturer has a history of inappropriate sexual affairs with students and non-acedamic staff, and he is generally not a good person to work with.
The girl in question lives separated from her parents and considers this lecturer as a father figure and is very close to him in a respectful way, as is her boyfriend. I know her personally and feel compelled to warn her, but I'm worried about the consequences if it backfires.
The lecturer has a lot of connections within the university and in the field where I am seeking a job, so speaking out could jeopardize my university life and professional career.
What should I do? How can I protect her without risking my future? Any advice and strategies would be greatly appreciated.

2024.05.20 09:18 travSSSSS need some advice for my first mid-high tier pc

I've been saving for about a year now to buy myself an actual gaming pc to finally replace an old laptop of mine that's been malfunctioning as of late. I'm not sure if the build i cooked up is actually any good tho, in that span of time i've been researching a whole lot about pc specs for a nice and smooth gaming station where i can confidently play esports titles at 300~ fps and 144~ fps on games that have been released in the past 3-5 years at 2K resolution. i don't know if im being overkill or if i'm wasting money that i could spend in better and cheaper parts. the only catch is that the whole build has to be on am4 cuz i already bought a b550 motherboard from a friend of mine and the budget i have for the build is for around 1100 USD dollars. I'd really appreciate any help and suggestions, thank u :) /

2024.05.20 09:16 Candid-Yak5036 How to proceed with scorpio men

hi, I would like to ask for advice. gemini f25
Two months ago, I met a guy who is a Scorpio at my workplace, but he works for a different office. We saw each other a few times, waved at each other and I realized that we share the same passion for cars, so one day when i saw him in the lobby, i went to him with an excuse and started a conversation. We had a 20 minutes long conversation where he told me he would love to show his car during the summer when it will be ready and then I told him I can show him mine. He opened up about how he stopped racing as prices are too high, etc. so he mentioned a few things that are personal i guess, and so did i, then we both left for work.
After our conversation i didnt really see him much, he comlimented my car once in the garage and, he replied to one insta story about a car but there was no communication at all. Here cones the weird part: I was talking outside with a friend of mine and i basically caught him eavesdropping, but it was super awkward so i pretended i didnt see him. A few days later, I was talking to a guy outside our office building who is actually my brother and I saw him again peeping behind a statue checking who I’m talking to and when I turned to him he immediately left.
A few days after these encounters, it was a Friday afternoon and I was walking back to the office building to get my car and i saw him at the red light. I was trying to ignore him at first, but then I looked at his way, and he was smiling and waving at me, i smiled back and waved back. So i texted him “you really need to show me your car now🥲” i I thought this message would be like flirty but cute reflecting on what we talked about. 2 days passed by, no reply and the minute he arrived at the office on monday he texted me back saying “i hope so” “ we will look for a time that suits us” I just like his messages a few days after.
My guess, he has a girlfriend but he kind of likes me so he doesnt wanna say like oh sorry I have a girlfriend we cannot talk, but he is also not overstepping the line.
I really like him and i have no idea what to do. Please give me advice. Thank you for taking the time to read.

2024.05.20 08:58 Flimsy_Breakfast2463 [Suggestion needed] Issue with ex tenant.

Hey guys, I had this tenant who lived in my flat for around 5 years. He evacuated and gave me the keys of my property last year he has still not paid me the rent for three months. My house was totally damaged and was full of rubbish and pigeon shit and eggs as he left the windows open and locked the apartment for around 6 months. Upon receiving the keys I found that he has not taken his sofa, tv cabinet, washing machine and a bed.
I tried reaching out to him several times last year he never picked up my phone. I even tried WhatsApp call and messaged him to take away his dirty stuff as it’s of no use to me and his sofa is full of dirt and occupied too much space and washing machine does not work.
After around eight months in March 2024 he called me and said he will take away his stuff. To which I said pay the remaining dues and please take your stuff. He never showed up.
Yesterday he called me again that he will take his stuff in this month. I do not think he will come. I heard from other neighbours that he told them that he wants to buy my house that’s why he is not taking his stuff.
Also I have moved his Sofa, a bed , tv cabinet and a broken washing machine to my store house.
So my question is how should I deal with this guy? He seems to have political connections. Is there any grounds on which he can sue me? Should I not ask for the due rent and return his stuff?

Tense silence greeted Corellus Grarzia. Moments ago, he had stepped off the shuttle sent for him, and now he was standing in the entryway to the main conference room aboard USN Wisconsin. This meeting greatly reminded him of his first meeting after taking captainship of Olyvia. This time however, there were many more players. All but two of the Privateers were present, the latter being simply too deep into a mission, and too far away to make it in time. Both of the missing ships had completed their objectives, and were in transit, but waiting for them was simply not an option. Admiral Grarzia had arrived with Wisconsin and the rest of the Privateers inside of a week from Cory’s transmission, and Admiral stevens had arrived a week after that. Admiral fulmori had retained the USN Texas as his Flag, having grown fond of Captain Gleeson. Unity High Admiral Kawmarin was still currently flagged aboard USN Galveston and was currently using her superior speed to respond to race across unity space in an attempt to rally Unity forces.

Admiral Clint Stevens had arrived with a five-ship battle group. He was flagged aboard USN Tharsis and was escorted by USN Furlong, USN Iowa, a recently retrofitted and upgraded DDS Protectorate, and a newly commissioned Delmar Frigate. The DDS Stormhold was a hybrid vessel. She had been in the early stages of construction when Humanity and Delmar met for the first time, and she had been modified during construction to make use of the recent innovations born of the their budding alliance. She had but half the displacement of an Iowa Class, but she sported two thirds of the weight of fire by destructive potential. Stormhold had struck many human sailors as what a battleship class would have looked like if the Martians had decided to build the class during Humanity’s civil war. Stormhold carried but a pair of super firing Kinetic batteries in dorsal and ventral positions with a single pair of super firing batteries at her midships. Each turret in the battery only boasted a pair of barrels, and they fired the same 1005 projectile. Stormhold was armed to please however, and she carried twice the same number of PAC batteries as USN Tharsis, and she boasted a full-length central weapon that was very uniquely Delmar. The combined minds of the Brothers grem and their research counterparts in Sol had spent years researching and iterating on the Martian Particle Acceleration Cannon, and they had found something.

DDS Stormhold sported a single long low profile blister stretching the length of her ventral hull, set just to the left of centerline to make room for her kinetic batteries. No less than 6 PAC systems were arrayed in parallel, all feeding one focusing array of titanic size. Stormhold could fire up to all 6 at the array, varying the amount of destruction she wished to adjudicate upon her enemy. Bart had dubbed tis weapon the C-PAC, or “Compound Particle Acceleration Cannon”. The discovery however was not that combining Pac beams was doable. Mars had tried and failed to accomplish this. The discovery was how to make it efficient enough to create a viable weapon. This accomplished, something became abundantly clear from the initial testing…. A C-PAC did not scale linearly, but exponentially. A C-PAC could produce the same destructive energy as an Eros, but only within two hundred fifty thousand Kilometers. The rate of fire was still low, and firing all 6 feeder PACs at once was a cautious calculation, as the heat generated was still a problem, but early tests in a long dead system had seen the accidental cracking of the target planet’s crust. The reaction that followed destabilized the planet entirely and said star system was now one interstellar body lighter.

Stevens brought more than just a battle group, having appropriated four troop transports. Each transport carried a detachment of Marines, with the two MACE squads spread between them for heavy support. It was a small number, but they were to be on hand to evacuate any survivors they could. “Alright people, gather round. All of you have seen the brief by now, and I know all of you are ready for this to happen. Let’s not go in halfcocked” Several heads bobbed in acknowledgement and Stevens turned to spear Cory with a gaze, “For those who might not have met yet, this is Corellus Grarzia, Captain of the Privateer that uncovered this little honeypot of horrors. He’s been the closest to this thing the longest.” Stevens waves to Cory, “Captain?”

Cory stepped up and took a long breath, “The situation’s only gotten worse since my first transmission. The prison freighters and the frigates in orbit are just the beginning of the problem. We’ve since discovered camps on the surface of the planet, I’ve marked them in your updated files” Cory flicked his wrist over his data pad, propagating the information to everyone else’s pad and the table in the center of the room, “This is not just a torture camp, it is an indoctrination and training facility. The kissing of the hand is a surrender trigger of sorts. Kiss the hand, and the child is taken from hell, given food, and given a task. Usually something simple and innocuous, but it is rewarded. If a child accepts without instruction, and without question; they are sent to the surface where they are put into an intense indoctrination program.” Cory took a pause, watching the faces of the men and women in the room. Hard eyes and grim expressions waited for him to continue. “The children are eventually taken on hunts…. Hunts of other failed children and adults of their own species… and hunts of the locals… they are creating insurgents. We may and will encounter opposition made of child soldiers and operatives on the surface. We’ve also discovered a fast response system. Attacking one freighter at a time will trigger the destruction of the other freighters, and it appears that the Frigates in the system are in direct communication with someone outside the system every 20 minutes. That is all we know, at this time.”

Cory nodded to the admirals before stepping back from the table. Mac gave Cory a nod before taking a deep breath, “Thank you Captain. Alright people, no idea goes unspoken. No question goes unasked, we only have one shot at this. Let’s get to work.”

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Warren’s eyes slowly fluttered open, aroused from his slumber by soft lips working their way up from the nape of his neck, “Hmm, Good morning.” He whispered as Jezz pulled herself atop him with a smile of her own. She kissed her way up his chin to his ear before responding, “Morning.” She coo’d back at him, her sultry tone lighting his senses on fire. Warren pulled her the rest of the way to his lips, kissing her gently just as his communicator chirped, “UUgghhhh!!” he groaned, breaking their kiss to open the channel, “L.T. Patterson here.” He stated, trying to keep his voice professional as Jezzaria’s lips began to wander again.
*Lieutenant, We’ve received word. The cargo transports finished loading earlier than anticipated. We will be departing in twenty minutes. Captain Yasushi has asked for your presence on the bridge.*

“Understood, I’ll be there… uh…. Momentarily.” Warren responded closing the channel, looking down at a smugly amused Jezzaria, “Jezz! Now how am I supposed to show up on the bridge with that…”

“Hmm” She mused coyly. “Probably shouldn’t, I better take care of that.” Warren never had a chance to respond.

Twenty minutes later, an only slightly breathless Warren arrived on the bridge, receiving a raised eyebrow from Excelsior’s Captain. “Cutting it rather close, Lieutenant?” Yasushi asked as he scanned the last of the information before departure.

Warren kept his face carefully neutral, “Unavoidable, Sir.” He said formally. “You asked to see me?”

“Yes, Is the Elerian delegation settled in?” Yasushi asked first. “We’ve done what we can to give them ample spaces on the ship attuned to their gravity, and signage to prevent accidents, but I’ve heard rumblings.”

“It not… the gravity sir… May we?” Warren responded carefully, nodding to the captain’s ready room. The two of them stepped into the more private setting, and Warren sat heavily into the chair opposite the desk.

Yasushi regarded the young officer with a studious gaze, “Talk to me son. I need to know if something is brewing during this voyage.”

Warren sighed inwardly. The delegation made up about a quarter of the surviving Elerian race, the Oldest of the Children saved from their planet. They had finished catching up in their education and updating on changes wrought while they were asleep. These Oldest had requested, and obviously granted, permission to travel to their home planet to participate in its recolonization. There was only one real problem with the situation. “Jezz wishes to continue to Delmar, but she is the defacto leader of her species. It is, chafing in some area’s.” Warren finally answered.

“Ah, I see.” Yasushi leaned back into his chair. “Has she told them that She is not staying?”

Warren shook his head, “No sir. She knows she has to stay. It’s just…. It’s just obvious that she hates the reality of the situation, that I must continue to Delmar. It does not help that Many of her people see our relationship as hurtful. They see us as narrowing the genetic pool from which they can recover.”

Yasushi’s eyes softened slightly in understanding, “Atticus’ research?”

“Almost complete sir, it’s all but certain that the Corth placed Elerian DNA in the Human genome. He believes that We could be the key to the genetic diversity needed to jumpstart their species, but… They don’t know that.” Warren sighed, “It’s all still heavily classified pending the conclusion. Her people don’t know what she has put herself through to ensure accurate data. They just see me as stealing their future, and her as a love struck girl playing at leadership.”

Yasushi nodded, bringing up the progress synopsis on his consol, “It appears that Atticus requires only one further ‘experiment’ before his conclusions can be reached. Do you know what that is?”

Warren shook his head, “Sorry, Sir. I don’t. We are to meet him in his onboard lab after lunch. He’s fastidious about records, I’m sure you will know by the time we leave his office.”

“Hmm,” Yasushi mused, taking a moment to review the update before closing it, “I know this is hard for you. You two have been thrust into quite a bit above your stage in life. Let me know if there is anything I can do. Dismissed, Lieutenant.”

Warren saluted crisply, following Yasushi out to the bridge just in time to watch the small convoy leap into slip space. His feet slowly guided him back to the quarters he shared with Jezz, feeling the shift in gravity as he passed into the Eleri safe parts of the ship. It would be a two month sail to the Elerian homeworld, and Warren was not looking forward to its conclusion. His thoughts were interrupted by raised voices, one of which he was intimately familiar with, coming from around the corner, and Warren accelerated his gate.

“You know we barely have the numbers to survive! Instead of doing your duty, you’re bedding that heavy worlder!” It was the oldest Elerian male, Bregan, flanked by two other Elerians. They had ambushed Jezz against the door to the quarters Warren and her shared.
“Back up Breg, I don’t care that your father was pappa’s top general. This is not the play you want to make right now. I am Warren’s, and that is not changing.” Jezz’s voice was stern, and she noticed Warren arrive around the corner. The smallest shake of her head kept him from barging in. Elerian female leaders were a prickly thing, and because He was not Eleri, she needed to do this on her own. They had talked about it, expecting something like this once the first complaints had been whispered. Jezz was still kicking herself for not spending more time with her people, but she had also been instrumental in the Gate project that promised to bind the galaxy more tightly than ever before.

Breg openly scoffed at Jezz, “A woman, ordering me around? Maybe Your precious Human will have an accident.” He sneered, blatantly reaching for Jezz’s wingtips, “Then maybe You’s search for a proper m… UGH!” Warren winced as he heard the tale tale cracking of bone. Jez had slapped away Bren’s outstretched hand before driving her fist into his side. She had underestimated her power, having lived for over a year in various gravities that exceed that of her homeworld, and Bren doubled over with eyes wide as he fell to a knee. He clutched his side, glaring at Jezzaria, “Bitch! I’ll have you brought up on charges! Let’s see your precious human get you out of an assault charges, with witnesses.” Bren sputtered, and his two friends nodded angrily.

“Go ahead, but I do not think you will be successful.” Jezz pointed up to the corner of the corridor opposite Warren, “All hallways are rigged for video and audio. Every threat you have made was logged in the ships computer the moment you puked it out of your pathetic mouth.” Warren had to stifle the chuckle that threatened to escape his lips at the pure vitriol in Jezz’s ton. “As for witnesses, you can come on over, hun.”

Warren put on severe expression, locking eyes with Bregan even as the young mans eyes bugged out of his head. “My husband has been watching for quite a while and would make an excellent witness.” Jezz’s smug expression nearly broke Warrens facade as he crossed his arms in front of the three.

“Hmm, threatening the murder of a Naval officer.. Attempted assault on a reigning monarch… Getting recorded doing so, not a good look.” Warren rumbled, and Breg spat at his feet.

“Fuck you.” Bren spat, “If you believe that to be true, why did you wait for your woman to fight instead of protecting her, coward.”

Warren openly laughed in the boy’s face, “you assume my woman needed saving from you. She’s soared on Luna and Conquered the gravity on Ceres.” Warren paused as a profoundly contemplative expression washed over the three boy’s faces, “What makes you think you were anything close to a threat to MY mate.” Warren growled the last part, making the miscreants take an involuntary step back, “Now get out of here. And get that rib checked out, I heard it break from over there.”

The three Elerian boys scrambled down the hallway, unable to flee on wing because of the narrow space. Warren waited for them to round the corner, and felt Jezz collapse into him almost instantly after. Warren quickly opened their door and pulled her in with him, “Hey, hey, hey. Shhhh” He soothed rubbing her down patch between the base of her wings. She melted into him, but continued shaking for a moment. “Their gone, it’s ok now.”

Jezz took a long shakey breath, “I… I don’t know what to do…. My people are so scared… and I can’t tell them that we need Humans to recover our numbers. I… I don’t know what to do…”

Warren kept rubbing her back, “I’ll have lunch brought here. Breg doesn’t need to see that he shook you.” And Jezz nodded, and a few minutes later a pair of cold cut sandwiches arrived. The two of them ate, Jezz curled up in Warren’s lap. Violence was not a natural decision for her, and it had been the first time she had struck anyone outside her occasional sparring with Warren. Warren partially blamed himself for her not knowing her own strength. He always allowed her to strike at him as hard as she could, knowing that she was incapable of hurting him with her bare hands, and she had gained enough speed and technique to occasionally get through his admittedly average hand to hand skills. He had still not taught her to shoot Kinetics. He worried that she would be simply too fragile to shatter bones should she get behind one of his pistols, or even his rimfire rifle.

They were just beginning to leave when a knock at the door interrupted their clean up. And Warren opened the door, his face a serious mask as he prepared to deal with more of the… “Atticus?” He asked as the Androgenous Corth stepped into their quarters. “I thought we were meeting you in your lab?”

“You are correct Warren. However, after word of Jezzaria’s little incident spread across the ship, I thought it best to have this conversation somewhere more comfortable.” Atticus stated in his usual analytical tone, waving to the seating in the pair’s living quarters. Warren raised an eyebrow and the uncharacteristic catering to circumstances from Atticus and settled onto one side of the queen bed in the corner. Their compartment was spacious considering Excelsiors size, but still lacked any major furnishing outside of the bed, a place for clothes and a chair for the desk which held the computer console. Jezz sat down next to him, and Atticus pulled the desk chair to face them.
“What’s this about Att.” Warren asked, picking up on the small tells that told him that Atticus was stalling.

Atticus flashed a smile to Warren before responding, “I’ve completed my research, at least, as much of it I can without more direct observation, and I am unwilling to ask that with so few Elerians left.” He began, holding up a hand to Jezz who was already opening her mouth to protest, “I have already found some remarkable discoveries regarding you. As you are probably aware, being able to adapt to Luna, and even Ceres should not be possible for your species” he continued looking a Jezz as he spoke, “None of your people, who tried anything like that before have succeeded.”

“But Atticus,” Jezz asked in confusion, “I’m fine… I’m better than fine. Warren and I spent a weekend on Luna to say goodbye to his parents. I don’t have to be tossed to fly there anymore.” Atticus raised an eyebrow and Warren nodded in confirmation.

Atticus seemed to freeze for just a split second, as if adding the information to something before his eyes focused on the two of them again, “I’m impressed, but not entirely surprised, Jezz. You’re ability to adapt has an explanation, I simply needed to prove my original findings from Ceres.” Atticus leaned forward slightly, “My dear, you are an anomaly because of your relationship with Warren. I’ve been told that I am too direct, so I will attempt to be… less so” Atticus gave Warren a semi sharp look as he snorted, but continued, “Both of you already know this first part. My people, many many eons ago, used the fledgling Human species as a library of genetic markers meant to be able to save those species and cultures wiped out by the Cataclysm. What I have learned is that Humanity took many of those genetic markers and evolved with them as their own. Almost nothing of what we added to Humanity’s genetic code is how we left it, but some of our library is still capable of interacting with the origin species. That is what has happened with you Jezz.”

Jezz looked shocked for a moment, but then returned to her confused expression, “But, we haven’t done any of those experiments yet. You told me they were too dangerous.” Warren rubbed her shoulders but said nothing, simply waiting for Atticus to explain himself.

Atticus nodded, “I did, and they are; but I failed to account for something that was already happening naturally. To put it… delicately… Your body has been naturally been exposed those same Genetic markers, including the Elerian ones, in significant quantities since you and Warren chose to become life mates. Because those genetic markers include a hormonal component to them, and because of the extra strain your body had been put through on luna and ceres; your body has reacted to them, using them as a template for survival. Your bone mass has tripled since you travelled to Ceres, and your Muscle mass and composition has dramatically changed as well.”

“But how… Oh..” Warren’s face reddened as his mind finally put the pieces together, and Jezz’s cheeks flushed a bright blue upon her own realization. “But that would mean…”

Atticus shook his head, “No, luckily being able to monitor Jezzaria’s health has led me to a much safer way to help jumpstart the Elerian species, but there is a catch… I believe that this level of artificial genetic hybridization can only be done during the embryonic stages of Elerian life to be 100 percent safe, but I wont know until I study a….. natural hybrid.” Jezz’s breath caught in her chest as her eyes widened but Atticus raised his hands quickly, “I cannot ask this… but I know you would be angry with me if I hid this fact from you. I know the two of you desire children, and I will not lie. It is still a great risk. I’ve learned that the two of you prefer to make your own decisions, so I want you to do so with the most recent information. I’ll leave everything here for you to review.” Leaving a data stick on the desk, Atticus stood. He began stepping toward the door as the stunned couple stayed where they were, “I’ll give you some space. I am sorry for the heaviness of my findings.” Atticus opened the door and stepped out.

2024.05.20 08:45 StatementAcrobatic11 What to feed axolotl

I got an axolotl as a present but he is much older and bigger than I expected. He’s about 1.5 years old and 9 inches. I have both hikari carnivore pellets and night crawlers. What should I feed him and how often? I want to do a combination of the two.
Also the tank is mid cycling because I didn’t expect to get one. I bought Fritz turbo 700 to speed it up and there’s sponge filters in there cycled from my goldfish tank. Will he be ok?? I am monitoring the water parameters every day.

2024.05.20 08:26 ThrowRAcigluvrs Am I (18M) being delusional for thinking that my boyfriend (19M) cheated on me?

Okay so just to preface this, I have been diagnosed with BPD (the actual diagnosis is EUPD right now since you can’t be diagnosed with BPD until you are 25 in my country) so I really don’t know if the way I’m feeling has any kind of rationality behind it at all. I’m in desperate need of an outside opinion because I don’t want to be weird with my boyfriend for no good reason. We will be together for 3 years this September.
On Saturday, me and my boyfriend went out with eachother. We smoked, ate some food and just had a really good time together enjoying the warm weather since that’s kind of a rarity where I’m from. Everything was 100% normal. No weird vibes, no nothing.
When I got home, we messaged on snap for a while and then I fell asleep hella early (around 7:30-8:00pm) because I was stoned as fuck. The last time he messaged me that night was 8:47pm.
I woke up at around 5:20am yesterday because of how early I fell asleep the night before. I checked my notifications to see if my boyfriend had messaged me after I fell asleep and I saw the text he left me at 8:47. The message was just him asking me to give him a review of this drink I bought when we were out together. No other messages. No goodnight message, no message to tell me he loved me either. Just that.
I checked when he was last online just out of curiosity and it said that he was last online 4hrs ago, so around 1am. I thought that was weird because he ALWAYS gets to sleep early and he NEVER usually falls asleep later than 11:30pm. But I didn’t really think too much of it at the time, and I just decided to have a quick smoke and make some breakfast before I replied.
I messaged him at 7:55am just wishing him a good morning and telling him how much I love him. I told him to tell me about his night when he woke up since I thought it was weird that he was up so late. About 10 mins later he called me. I instantly thought how that was really weird because he NEVER calls me in the morning. He is not a morning person at all, and he tells me not to call him in the morning because he will just get mad and he doesn’t want to get mad at me. So I already had some alarm bells going off in my head.
The whole call was really strange and uncomfortable. One of the first things he told me was that him and his friends went out to this local shisha bar that night to watch the Tyson Fury fight, which is why he was still online past midnight. He was telling me how it was super packed in there. I hated that. It is an established thing in our relationship that if one of us is going somewhere, we ALWAYS tell eachother where we’re going, who we’re gonna be with and what we’re gonna be doing. I didn’t get any of that, not even a message to tell me goodnight. He just didn’t message me at all.
I said “okayyyyy….what did you do?”, obviously very uncomfortable but I just wanted to know more about the night. He didn’t really say much tbh, he just said “nothing baby, we watched the fight and then I went home.” Right. How enlightening. I decided to press him on why he called me since he never does and he said, “I just missed you so much, I love you and I really wanted to hear your voice.” Okay. That’s another thing that never happens. I remember laying back on my bed and just thinking about all those posts I’ve seen about when your partner goes out and you get the ‘I love you’ text the next morning. You know what I mean. That’s all that was going through my head because THIS NEVER F*CKING HAPPENS !!!!!
I was honestly just really confused and I didn’t know what to say, so I just said, “okay, but you never call me in the morning so why did you call me now?”. He started clamming up at my response a little bit, but that could be because he was expecting me to think it was sweet. He started going into this baby talk sort of voice, very high pitched and cutesy and it was just making me even more uncomfortable. He said, “I just love you so much and I just wanted to hear your voice and you told me to call you earlier !!”, in that baby voice. I said, “no. I never told you to call me earlier, I asked you to tell me about your night.” Then he was all like “yes you did” until he checked the chat, then he was like “ohhhhhhhh oops I thought you said to call.” Yeah. Right.
Pretty soon after that, he told me he was gonna go. He hung up and he didn’t text me again until 12:30pm. He also didn’t fall asleep until 1am again last night even though he has very important exams today. I’ve been very off with him since that phone call, especially since he never mentioned that he was going out and he didn’t text me the entire night, even just to tell me goodnight. If he didn’t call me yesterday morning, I never would’ve known he did anything. This has never EVER happened before.
What are your thoughts? What should I do? What would you guys do in this situation? Am I being delusional? Please help me.

2024.05.20 08:23 Idk261 Mclaren Yearbook

Hi, I’ve purchased the Mclaren 2020 and 2021 year books and some how missed if they released one for the 2022 season. I would occasionally check the Mclaren store all last year but didn’t notice it.
I was sitting at home today and decided to give it another search, I still can’t find any trace of a yearbook for 2022, no photos in google, no old listings on sites like fuel for fans, not even anything on EBay except for an article on the Mclaren website called “a very MCLAREN Christmas” where at the bottom of the article it mentions a 2022 year book.
Does anyone know if this was ever released and where I can get one?

2024.05.20 08:14 ahm2143672 23 year old. Dead inside.

Im 6”2, 285 pounds 23 year old man.
Im making that clear because it plays a big part on my demise. I feel like I’m in a never ending abyss that’s made up of self hate, insecurity, and loneliness. I hate the way I look… I don’t feel loved at all by anyone and it breaks my heart day by day. I used to hate myself so much that I started to cut…. I felt ashamed as a man. I feel ugly because I can’t even pull women or have a girl be attracted to me which makes me feel like I’m worthless….like I’m nothing. I spend a lot of time stuck in this head of mine. Im at a point where I feel like no one can save me. And I’m begging to be saved.

2024.05.20 08:11 JustHere4DaDrama A decade later…

A decade later…
I haven’t owned a bike since I was 18 years old. (2002 KTM 300EXC) I’ve been creeping around this sub for quite some time now just to live vicariously through you all. I always told myself I shouldn’t get another one as “I can’t afford to get hurt.” But after watching this community day in and out, I said screw it and purchased this 2008 CRF450 from a friend. Let me know your thoughts on gear, or any other upgrades I might be way out of the loop on. Thank you to this community for all the posts and keeping my spirit alive. 🤙🏼
Top end rebuild less than 5hrs ASV levers Fmf full exhaust Talon rims and hubs Renthal Bars Mb1 suspension New chain and sprockets
Extras: Desert tank Paddle tire with spare rim All kinds of fluids Jet kit
P.s. The deal I made to purchase this bike required my friend to buy the top end kit for his 500 🫡

2024.05.20 08:08 Odd_Criticism8840 I (24 f) miss my ex (25m) after seven months. (I broke up with him) How do I stop?

So..it’s a long story, but I really just need to talk about it. Im missing the guy I with broke up seven months ago after a 11 month long relationship (even you can even say 11 months).
In that 11 months we went through some shit..here’s is how it happened, I had recently moved back home after college and we matched on tinder in October (2022). Well the problem was he was living back were I had just moved from (2hr drive), but he had family close so we’d see each other occasionally. We talked for a while, went on a few date, and really hit it off. It felt very natural and fun. Well after 4 months (February 2023) decided to make things official. However, he was never keen on making it FB official until March. When we finally made it official on FB someone left a comment about “once a cheater always a cheater” so I immediately reached out to him about it. He confessed that his last relationship he had cheated on his girlfriend of 2 years. He tells me all the details and we decide to move on from it bc I’m not one to judge on someone’s past. (Keep in mind this is just a month into our “official” relationship)
Two weeks later I get a message from someone on FB telling me that they are his Ex’s best friend and dives into details that he failed to mention like they in fact dated for FOUR YEARS not two like he said, he also failed to mention that they were living together up until September 2022 only a month before we starting talking to each other on tinder. I immediately confront him about it. He goes on to say that he didn’t realize they were dating that long and that he never told me when they broke up bc he thought it didn’t matter to me about his past and he was just really ashamed and that’s why he never told me about it. Of course I forgive him and we move on. Well I’m a ruminator. It was still bothering me so I told him I think we needed to take a step back.. however we went right back to talking the next day because I was so upset . I felt like someone had gutted me with a knife. That was in May(2023).. only 3 months into our relationship..
In June (2023) we end up going to on a trip together with my family and we have a great time. Probably one of the best weeks of my life. I felt so in love with this guy. Then in July (2023) my car gets stolen out of his driveway WITH HIS DRUMS INSIDE while I’m out of town visiting family. Through that entire situation he was so helpful and kept my mind off of it all. Stayed home from work and let me stay at his place until we figured out a way to get my car back. I literally cried leaving him because I felt so in love with him. Fast forward to mid July and my birthday comes. I’m still without a car so I get a rental so I can stay with him and hang out with my friends who still live in my college town. I get there a day before my birthday and we get dinner and watch a movie with my friends. On my birthday we spent it out with my friends and then go to a movie with one of his friends that night. That whole day I was waiting for a card or something, not that I’m materialistic I just felt like he hadn’t planned anything for us. He hadn’t even planned a dinner, whereas for his birthday I surprised him with balloons every where and all his favorite things … I find revenge get a little hand written card!!! It made me upset. So I said something about it. And his respond was “I really didn’t think it was that big of a deal. We aren’t really a birthday family .. I’ll do better next year.” I told him okay ,but ultimately came to the decision we needed a extensive break. I told him I felt like my needs weren’t being met and I wanted to feel like a priority we took a 3 week long break.. Basically all of August we didn’t see each other. Then September rolled around and we hardly seen each other still. We had tried to make an agreement on our break that we’d see each tier at least once a week after the break, but that didn’t happen. In October (2023) I finally called it for good. It felt like we were just on different roads that never had an intersection.. I’ve missed him before..like back in February (2024) I snooped and seen that he might be seeing someone..I can usually snap myself out of it.. but recently I can’t. I keep thinking about reaching out.. someone tell me what’s wrong with me.. tell me that “if he wanted to he would” I’m just.. wrecking my bre’s I’m trying to find a reason it’s a good idea.. maybe that’s why I’m posting this.. to try to make sense of my irrational thinking. Please help me… at least help me stop ruminating. Do I reach out?? Or do I just keep the no contact going??

2024.05.20 08:04 submissivekitty2828 PSA: We have far more concrete dates than people let on.

At one point I was thinking about the timeline of FNaF, and decided to write out every concrete date we have. The dates we know for certain are:
And doing this made me realize something. With the number of dates we have, a lot of people are just guessing instead of working around them. Most notably, the reuse of certain weekdays/months can help us understand dates that aren't confirmed. For example:
Now that we've covered every possible point from the Clickteam games, let's take this information and form a timeline. Please note that not all of the specifics will be agreed upon, but I believe the general dates are correct.
And that's it. This post took me all day writing out and double-checking to make sure I didn't get anything incorrect, but I'm sure there are a few typos or inconsistencies and that there are pieces of information I've missed. After all, no one knows all the answers about FNaF except Scott himself, and even Scott makes mistakes. But I feel confident in this and hope that it leaves some sort of impact.
