What is Subconscious Mind Reprogramming?
The subconscious mind is a powerful force that shapes our beliefs, emotions, and behaviors, often without our conscious awareness. Throughout our lives, we accumulate experiences and information that form the foundation of our subconscious programming. While some of this programming serves us well, other aspects may hinder our growth and success. Reprogramming the subconscious mind involves deliberately changing these deeply ingrained patterns to create positive transformation and achieve our fullest potential. Today we will explore what reprogramming the subconscious mind entails, its benefits, and effective techniques to unlock the power within.
The human mind comprises two primary components: the conscious and the subconscious. The conscious mind deals with present thoughts, logical reasoning, and decision-making. In contrast, the subconscious mind operates below the surface, acting as a vast reservoir of memories, beliefs, and experiences. It influences our perception of the world, self-image, and subsequent actions. Understanding the workings of the subconscious mind is vital for initiating any reprogramming efforts.
The subconscious mind plays a critical role in shaping our reality. It operates on autopilot, filtering information and interpreting it based on our existing beliefs and conditioning. Our thoughts and actions are often driven by subconscious patterns, making it a powerful force in our lives. By reprogramming the subconscious mind, we can harness this power to create positive changes in various aspects of life.
To initiate the process of reprogramming the subconscious mind, it is essential to identify and recognize limiting beliefs and negative programming. These beliefs, often formed during childhood or through significant life events, can hinder personal growth and success. We will explore common limiting beliefs and methods to identify them and some strategies to resolve them.
Limiting beliefs can have a significant impact on our lives, affecting relationships, career choices, self-confidence, and overall well-being. We create mental barriers and restrict us from pursuing opportunities or achieving our dreams. Understanding the consequences of these beliefs is a motivating factor for embracing change.
Reprogramming the subconscious mind offers a multitude of benefits. By replacing limiting beliefs with positive and empowering thoughts, we can experience enhanced self-esteem, improved decision-making, increased resilience, and reduced stress and anxiety. There are far-reaching advantages of this transformative process.
Reprogramming the subconscious mind fosters a sense of self-worth and self-confidence. As we shift our focus from self-doubt to self-belief, we develop a positive self-image and a greater belief in our abilities. This newfound confidence propels us to pursue our goals with determination and resilience.
The subconscious mind heavily influences our decision-making process. By reprogramming the subconscious, we can gain clarity and objectivity in our choices. We become less prone to making decisions based on fear or limiting beliefs and more inclined to act in alignment with our true desires and values.
Our subconscious programming can significantly impact our relationships with others. By shedding limiting beliefs and cultivating a positive mindset, we can experience improved communication, empathy, and emotional intelligence. This fosters healthier and more fulfilling connections with loved ones and colleagues. There is also a strong mind-body connection, and reprogramming the subconscious mind can positively influence physical health. Reduced stress and improved mental well-being can lead to lower blood pressure, better sleep, and enhanced overall immune function.
The law of attraction suggests that like attracts like. By reprogramming the subconscious mind with positive beliefs and intentions, we emit a higher vibrational frequency, attracting positive opportunities and experiences into our lives. Reprogramming the subconscious mind empowers us to take charge of our lives. By understanding the power of our thoughts and beliefs, we become conscious creators of our reality rather than passive observers.
Reprogramming the subconscious mind may encounter resistance, both from within ourselves and from external influences. There are a few common obstacles faced during the process but we will discuss strategies to overcome them, ensuring a smoother journey towards positive transformation.
Reprogramming the subconscious mind is not an instant fix; it requires dedication, consistency, and patience. Its important to stay committed to the process of cultivating a positive mindset while embracing the journey's ups and downs.
Beyond the techniques themselves, integrating positive habits into daily life plays a crucial role in maintaining the results of subconscious reprogramming. There are various habits and lifestyle changes that support ongoing positive change.
Reprogramming the subconscious mind is a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. By understanding the power of the subconscious, identifying limiting beliefs, and employing effective techniques, we can unlock our true potential and create a life filled with positivity, purpose, and success. Embracing this transformative process can lead to a more fulfilling and empowered existence, empowering us to create the life we desire and deserve.

Instructions: 6 Step Exercise To Become Present
So starting off, its best to focus on using just these more stable energetic techniques, and if you want to know the ones we recommend the most for beginners for the categories of Health and Fitness, your Intellectual Life, your Emotional Life, your Character, your Spiritual Life, your Love Relationships, Parenting (or Family), Social Life, Financial, Career, Quality of Life, and Life Vision, just click this link and ‘Enroll in the How To Create Reality Course’ to hone your emotional basis for reprogramming your subconscious mind in order to make the most of all of your creations where your realizations don’t mark the end, but rather only the beginning of your journey.

1. Now to use the techniques we most recommend, the first step is to detect a trigger, whether internal or external.
2. Internal trigger: Before I do something, I remember to wake up. (Ex. before starting a task/going somewhere).
   
3. External trigger: As soon as something happens to me, I remember to wake up. (Ex. friend calls you, phone rings, something happens nearby, you notice something new around you).
   
4. When these triggers occur, wake up by asking these questions: who am I, where am I, what am I doing, and am I aware?
   
5. Get into full realization of these questions to the point where you can confidently say: “I see myself and I see my reality”. This is when you’re able to observe both your internal world (thoughts/feelings/etc.) and external world (experiences/actions/etc.) simultaneously.
   
6. Live from this state and become aware of the meaning that is already here, to be aware of the perfection and enoughness already within this present moment, not dwelling on your thoughts or your feelings, but allowing them to just occur before gently re-focusing and being aware that you are here now in this present moment.
   
7. Look and listen, see without describing, perceive without interpreting. This will allow you to experience a stillness, an inner peace. And this inner peace will allow you to see yourself as both the one who observes every experience and the one who is having every experience.
   
8. Live from this.
   

***This will take you to a greater and deeper perception of reality, where you become not the chess piece but the chess player. The one who controls our reality from awareness rather than the one who is pushed here and there by reality due to our passivity.
And remember, sometimes during this practice of being aware and accepting experiences, you will find that there are situations you don't want to accept, can't accept. In these states, accepting that you can't accept, still IS accepting.
And thus, even then, you are still present, you are still aware, you are still the operator rather than the operation. That even if you have an outburst, if you accept this and allow this, you are still in control because your power of reality creation comes from the state of being the observer rather than the state of being the experiencer (the observation). ***

Waldo could feel the tension in his body. He hated breaches. He used to be a general in the armada. Waldo had not figured out exactly what happened but in a few weeks leadership had changed all across the galaxy. Waldo had sensed something was different and Waldo had changed his identity adding himself to a low level unit while he tried to figure out what had caused the change. However, his contracts slowly disappeared and he was having a hard time cultivating new ones. Waldo had heard the name Bastion a lot in the changeover and Jonah seemed to have fallen off his radar, which Waldo found very distressing. So now he was just a lower level grunt Waldo had to follow orders and keep his identity hidden. That meant he saw lots of action thus why he was on a breaching team. All the prep in the world never made him feel safe on a breach and they had no prep time for this one. Toby slammed the charge on the handle of the Iron door and deftly ran the blasting cord around the frame, in a single smooth motion. Waldo felt Juan tense in front of him as they prepped for entry after the blast. Waldo would be second in on this one having lost the coin toss. Not that he really minded due to the lack of information. Juan would be going right, Waldo had the left, and Brett would be going down the middle. Juan, Waldo, or Brett always led the breaching team; they were their units cowboys. At least, that is what they called themselves. Their lieutenant Frank called them his lovely ladies but everyone was a girl to Frank. Waldo didn’t care about it, Brett would get angry with Frank out of combat, and Juan only ever laughed over it. Waldo was pretty sure Brett was putting up a show as he had caught Brett offering to be a bottom to a guy at a bar three months ago, which had led to him swearing secrecy over it. Waldo found himself smiling as Frank started into it. “Lovely ladies, Juanita, Betty, and Wilma. Tina is spreading her legs in three.” Frank said loud enough for the breaching team to hear as he raised his hand holding up three fingers starting a countdown to Waldo’s 4th breach of the day. As the door blasted in they moved smoothly forward like a well rehearsed dance. Juan moved through the door into a hallway with Waldo close on his tail. Waldo saw it a second too late as Juan had completely missed the tripwire. Waldo grabbed Juan a hair too slow as Juan’s foot hit the wire tripping whatever the trap was. Waldo felt the magic in the blast before he heard the tremendous roar. Waldo felt himself pushed back by Juan while trying to pull him. Waldo felt certain he had Juan’s pack firmly gripped as he fell back. Suddenly, there was nothing in his hands. The air felt cool and instead of the hot sun beating down he felt a warm glow off to his left. Waldo rolled to his feet and spun, assessing the room, but everything was wrong. He had lifted his rifle up to sight as he spun but it was missing so instead in the middle of the spin he drew his side arm. However, as he finished his spin his arm fell loosely to his side. Waldo stood in the middle of three empty round tables. In what, he would call the common room of a themed bar or restaurant. He saw humanoid creatures standing near a long wooden bar with 4 patrons seated at it and another dozen or so scattered around the room with more on the two levels above him. Off to the side of a warm glow that Waldo realized there was a fireplace with a fire happily burning in it and there was a stage. Waldo would have loved to hear the music from the group on stage with their odd assortment of instruments but it was at this moment Waldo realized the blast had deafened him. Waldo felt certain no one would attack him, having noticed an odd assortment of humanoids. Waldo saw gnolls, tabaxi, and maybe lizardperson. Waldo holstered his side arm but in looking down he noticed a growing pool of blood at his feet and saw a piece of rebar sticking out of his arm. Waldo saw the enchantments engraved in the rebar and part of him said magic wasn’t real then something else said that humans were the only intelligent race. Waldo pushed those back knowing better. He had seen lots of races and humans were just one of them. Waldo felt more than one voice trying to take control and he pushed back, calming his mind. Waldo attempted to quiet his mind as he was flooded with memories and thoughts he did not recognize as he pushed against them he felt someone or something help him in quieting his mind. Waldo had not noticed the pain of his injury because of how much adrenaline was pumping through him. Waldo examined the rebar seeing the blood running down his arm. Waldo estimated he had ten minutes before blood loss would start to impact him if it did not clot on its own. Waldo glanced around the room seeing a few gnolls who had noticed him but no one seemed to care and decided he could care for the wound. Waldo grabbed the quick releases on his backpacks shoulder straps letting his bag fall onto a table he positioned behind him. Waldo quickly turned to face the bag and flipped it over so he could easily access it. Waldo grabbed a strap on the pack and deftly released it. Wrapping the loose strap above where the rebar was sticking out of his arm. Waldo smoothly grabbed his folding knife, flicking it open and cutting the sleeve away. Waldo placed the sleeve on the table and checked to see if it was all there or a piece was missing. Waldo grimace realizing a piece of sleeve is probably in his muscle. Waldo flicked the knife closed and placed it next to the sleeve. Waldo pulled out a bottle of water, a small bottle of rubbing alcohol, a healing tonic, and a sealed bandage for once it was clean. Waldo was so focused on what he was doing at the table he had not noticed the small group that had gathered behind him. “I don’t think he can hear us.” Strisk, a large drake, said, preparing to tap the strange human’s shoulder to get his attention. “Really, Strisk. You don’t think the guy bleeding on the floor that I shouted at can hear us?” Lydia, the only human in the commons, asked angrily, placing her hands on her hips. “I think he is going to pull that piece of metal out of his arm.” Kna, the gnollish innkeeper and owner of the establishment, said surprised. Watching Waldo’s back tense as he stretched his arm out to the table. Grabbing the rebar in his other hand. “Sir! Don’t!” Lydia screamed as Waldo ripped the 4 inch piece of rebar stuck halfway in his arm out. “Fuck!” Waldo yelled as the piece of metal came free. Waldo looked it over for cloth finding a small piece that he carefully removed from the end of the rebar and placed in the hole of the sleeve and frowning seeing there was still more. Waldo screamed as the onlookers watched him shove his fingers into the hole in skin. “Strisk, help me stop him.” Lydia said. Grabbing Waldo’s arm. Strisk hesitated. A moment before grabbing Waldo’s other arm. “Stop! There is more fabric in my arm!” Waldo screamed as the two strangers forced his arms apart. Waldo looked at the sleeve. Unsure if they could even understand him. The strangers released Waldo as he attacked the problem again. “Aer, go get me water. I will clean this up once he is done” Lydia said, to a gnoll barmaid nearby, deciding to stay next to this stranger. “I’ll get the mop and some rags to help.” Kna said not wanting to watch anymore and stepping away. Waldo pulled out a piece of fabric and placed it in the sleeve. Smiling now that he could account for all of the sleeve. Waldo grabbed the water bottle using his teeth to remove the lid and poured it down his arm. Followed by the rubbing alcohol to which he could not help but scream again as it burned. “That looks bad.” Strisk said, fingering a potion at his hip. Seeing Waldo was prepared to heal the slow way. Strisk was trying to decide whether or not to help the stranger out by giving him the healing potion he carried as a city guard.. Waldo was looking at the hole in his arm knowing it would take time to heal even with the help of the tonic. He estimated it would be a day or two. Waldo looked back at the lizard person standing behind him in armor. Waldo grimaced as he drank the healing tonic. Waldo looked at the only human girl in the commons. Waldo instantly recognized her but could see she did not recognize him. Waldo hated this feeling but took his time looking over her sandy blonde hair and the gentle curves of her face. Waldo let his eyes wander across her chest and down her legs to the floor even though there was not much to see since she wore a high neck dress that was rather plain. Waldo expected she worked here and was not one to take crap from the patrons. However, Waldo knew her face and her shape as just as he remembered her, he did not need her clothes off to tell this. Waldo turned back to the table and opened the bandage and applied it to his arm. 

“He took his time looking you over.” Strisk said, eying Lydia himself. “At least, he seems to know not to touch.” Lydia said, without looking at Strisk. She had been rebuffing advances from him and other drakes like him since she took the job. She hated the drakes, which was not unreasonable as they had burned her home to the ground, killed her parents, her betrothed, and enslaved her for five years. Lydia had fled to the nearest city not under drake control once she was freed. Lydia knew that not all drakes are slavers but getting over somethings are easier than others. “Do you think he can hear us?” Strisk asked, ignoring the jab not wanting to be thrown out by Kna again. Strisk still was fingering the healing potion not having decided on whether or not to offer it. The human seemed to be taking things to remedy his condition. Strisk stood over the two humans by about a foot when he extended to his full height at the moment he was hunched down a bit so he did not tower over them. Strisk thought he looked good this evening having cared for his bronze scales before coming to Kna’s inn. Waldo rolled up the sleeve and piece of rebar and placed it in his pack then pulled out a healing tonic with a dropper on it and a tin a bit larger than his hand slipping the tin into a pocket. Waldo used the dropper to put a few drops of his second healing tonic down each of his ears. Waldo knew it would take a minute for the tonic to kick in and heal enough damage to restore hearing. Waldo returned the spare tonic to the pack and turned around letting his eyes meet Lydia’s. Waldo thought he saw her eyeing him and she had a small smile on her face as their eyes met. Her face made various emotions flare inside him and it had to focus to stay in control feeling a bit like someone else was trying to take control. Waldo felt his hearing return as the sounds of the room washed over him. “Hello.” Waldo said, smiling at the woman ignoring the large lizardperson or dragonkin. Waldo could not really tell but he knew getting it wrong would probably offend them. “Hey, I am guardsmen Strisk.” Strisk said. Waldo glanced at the drake and then looked back at the woman. She crossed her arms and her smile turned to a frown. Waldo could not help but think crossing her arms only accentuated a certain feminine feature of her form. “Any chance I could get your name?” Waldo asked, meeting the woman’s eyes. “Lydia. Why are you bleeding on our floor and where did you come from?” Lydia asked, feeling her pulse raise with the way he was looking at her. Lydia had not been in the presence of a human male for ten years. Lydia had not been avoiding them there just weren’t many humans in the city she had fled to and she would not risk going back to drake territory as much as part of her wanted certain things, saving up to get off his continent had been her focus. Human also from what she had seen human men did not survive long under the abuse the drakes applied to there slaves in the nearby Xalas empire. “I am Waldo Winter.” Waldo introduced himself looking at Lydia. “As for why I am bleeding, I think it was an explosion of some kind. The shockwave knocked out my hearing. I am from Halcyon. I was in an outlying district at the time of the explosion and the wood in this room tells me I am not there anymore.” Waldo stated calmly. “So you entered Protham via an unauthorized teleport?” Strisk asked, trying to sound official. “One I did not initialize or agree to but yes. Are you going to arrest me?” Waldo asked. “I will have to report it. I will let someone else decide if you should be arrested. Assuming you don’t cause additional trouble.” Strisk said. “It is an honour to make your acquaintance Strisk. Thank you for not arresting me.” Waldo said, giving Strisk a smile before turning back to Lydia. “Why were you caught in an explosion?” Strisk asked the strange human, smiling back at him since he was being respectful. “Well that is a little difficult. I was entering a suspected criminal's residence just before finding myself standing in this lovely room.” Waldo said deciding to omit details since it would be simpler than explaining. “There was an explosion of some kind and then I was here. I have to assume the hunk of metal hit me before I appeared here somehow.” “Sounds like a teleport spell gone wrong.” Lydia said, allowing herself a moment to look over Waldo since he was not causing trouble. She could see the muscles in his arm and thought she recognized his jawline but knew that could not be the case since she had no idea where Halcyon was. “I wouldn’t know much about that. I can only hope my brothers are alright. Can one of you tell me where I am?” Waldo asked, masking his face, wondering if he had died. The blast had been strong enough to rupture his ears. Waldo was not sure he could have actually survived, even with Juan in front of him. Waldo expected he had died and this was some sort of reincarnation. Waldo knew he could not return home if the was an arrival on this planet as a child of Halcyon he had heard of this experience but this was his first time. As he thought about this he realized he did not want to go back even if he could. He had been in hiding and now he was probably well outside of the problems he had and doubted anyone hunting him would keep it up after death if he had died. If not then he was incredibly lucky he had landed in a place where he did not die instantly. Looking at Lydia something told him that someone powerful had intervened but Waldo could not imagine who. Jonah had abandoned him and Waldo could not think of another player with enough power to do anything who would also care about him. “Spriggan Inn, in Protham.” Lydia said, looking carefully at Waldo. Aer walked over carrying a rag and pushing a bucket of steaming water. Kna walked over with a mop and an empty bucket to wring the mop out. “Oh, thank you.” Waldo said, taking the mop from Kna and starting to clean up. “Protham is nowhere special, Lydia. We are a weeks travel from Neakar City. Neakar is the district capital here and a port city.” Strisk said, looking at Lydia. “You don’t have to do that.” Kna said, as Waldo deftly cleaned up the blood on the floor. “Just let him. He is probably in shock.” Strisk said, as they watched Waldo clean the floor easily. “Just a bit.” Waldo said after a moment, having finished mopping and given the mop back to Kna. Waldo used one of the rages Aer had to clean the table his pack had been on ending by wiping the drying blood from his ears. Waldo looked down and realized he was a mess. “How far did you travel?” Aer asked, frowning having heard the conversation. “Far enough, those names mean nothing to me.” Waldo replied. “So you are gonna need work.” Strisk half asked and half told Waldo. “Seems like that would be wise.” Waldo said, placing the rag over the edge of the bucket holding the dirty water from Waldo’s cleaning efforts. “Protham needs good city guards.” Strisk said, smiling. “I can get you an interview tomorrow. I will come by tomorrow morning and get you. If you are interested?” “I’ll need some training on your laws, but sounds interesting to me.” Waldo said, sticking out his hand to Strisk. Strisk looked at it a moment then realized he was supposed to grab it and did with his clawed hand. “Thanks, for your help Strisk.” Waldo said, firmly shaking Strisk’s hand. “Sounds like you want a room for the night. Unless, Strisk is offering to pay. Do you have any money?” Kna asked, frowning at Strisk. “You can put one night on my tab, Kna.” Strisk said. “Only if you pay your tab off tonight.” Kna said, feeling a bit bad but knowing Strisk’s tab was getting out of hand. “Do you accept silver?” Waldo asked, before Strisk could reply to Kna. “Yes, take a seat and I will get my scales.” Kna said, having heard enough to know she was going to need to calculate an exchange. “I am glad you happened to have some coin on you.” Strisk said, frowning at Kna’s back. “Yeah, my dad was big into carrying certain things every day. Good thing, I listened to him cause I bet my country's paper money is worthless here.” Waldo said, pulling the tin out of his pocket and carefully opening to make sure it was the right one then closing it again. “Well, your bag is probably worth quite a bit. I have never seen anything like it. Fine craftsmanship.” Aer said, examining his pack. “I would rather not part with it if possible.” Waldo said sitting down at the table his bag had been on since he moved it to the floor beside the table in cleaning the table. Strisk sat down across from him as did Aer with Lydia sitting close and she was still looking at him. “Lydia, you are being weird.” Aer said, quietly. “Looks like Lydia wants to bed the man.” Strisk said, frowning at Lydia. “Watch it, Strisk.” Lydia said to Strisk with an edge in her voice. “Waldo just reminds me of someone.” Lydia followed up with a softer tone. “Good memories I hope. I think I’d like to get to know you.” Waldo responded, not looking away from Lydia. “You remind me of… Someone.” “Well, be nice and maybe we can share some memories.” Lydia replied, not breaking his gaze. Waldo felt there were some additional implications in her words. “Is there a price?” Waldo asked, before he could stop himself. Waldo was not entirely sure where the words had come from in saying them they just burst from his lips like someone else was running the show. The words had sent Lydia’s hand flying. Waldo easily caught it mid air. “I will take that as a no, which is nice. A woman with a price isn’t a woman worth having.” Waldo said, speaking again without being sure where the word came from. Waldo wondered if he was going mad but something told him he was not. Waldo edged closer to Lydia as he thought this and realized he seemed to be of multiple minds in this moment. Words and actions happening that he was not sure were all him. Aer and Strisk were watching in surprise. “Maybe I misinterpreted your words.” “If you can pay for your room. I am willing to let the words go. Now if you would let me go.” Lydia responded, carefully feeling the strength in his arm and seeing the ease with which he caught her slap. She had used a skill to hit him, one that had landed on Strisks and other guardsmen when they got out of hand. She felt he could be dangerous and even though he had caught the slap and was easily holding her arm in place he was not hurting her. In fact once she relaxed, from making the slap, she realized how relaxed he was in stopping her slap. She saw him considering letting her go. She met his eyes letting her anger show at being held in place. Lydia realized how close he had come moving a little to block her slap and left him close enough she felt his breath on her face. Lydia realized she was breathing on him too and something in his eyes seemed to be enjoying the closeness they were sharing. “I want a taste.” Waldo said, kissing her before she could react and sliding his hand along her back. Lydia wanted to struggle but part of her had been aching for this for years and she did not put up a fight. After a moment she found she was kissing him back for a moment and just as she was about to pull away. He did first. Waldo had been wanting to kiss her since he had laid eyes on her and at least this time he was sure that was him. “Well, that was… special.” Waldo felt a memory tug at him in the back of his mind. One of a girl that looked just like this woman. “Maybe, for you.” Lydia said, trying to hide how much she enjoyed it. Waldo released her hand and turned looking for Kna. Waldo watched Kna approach with the scales. Waldo quickly opened the tin, pulling out a bundle of five carefully wrapped gold coins before closing it again and placing the tin back in a pocket. Waldo unwrapped the coins asking “What exchange rate can you offer on these?” Aer gave a quiet gasp at the sight of them. Waldo feared he had made a mistake. As kna set the scales on the table. “You have gold?” Strisk asked. Kna seemed unphased as Kna placed the coins on one side of the scale and started to carefully weigh them. “Just a little. For an emergency.” Waldo responded. “That should be enough to live here for a month.” Strisk stated, watching Kna carefully. “You underestimate my rates. This will buy you three weeks.” Kna stated, as the scales balanced. “What? That is highway robbery!” Strisk said. “I have to take them to a blacksmith to get them minted in local coinage, they will need to be paid. Or I will have to take them to a money changer, who will also take a cut.” Kna stated. “What would that include?” Waldo said, realizing his hand had wandered from his leg and found Lydia hand grabbing it tightly. Waldo felt Lydia tense as Waldo grabbed her hand but noticed she did not pull away from the sudden contact. “A room, hot bath every day, standard laundry service, the common breakfast, and dinner daily with one pint of house ale. You will have to pay for lunch if you come here to eat.” Kna said, listing from memory the services she included in her standard room offering. “Sounds good to me.” Waldo said smiling and looking out the window confirming it was dark. “I assume we are in the middle of dinner?” Waldo asked, hopefully. “Yes.” Kna answered. “May I take dinner in my room? I would like to wash myself before bed. It has been a surprising day.” Waldo asked Kna. “Yes! I will grab you a plate and show you to your room.” Lydia said, releasing Waldo hand and standing. Waldo let her hand go as she stood. Kna at Lydia with what Waldo expected was motherly concern. As Lydia turned away to get the room key and a plate of food. “Is there running water in the room?” Waldo asked Kna. “Yes, but I cannot recommend using it for anything other than bathing.” Kna said. “It is fine I can purify water. Can I get this filled with water?” Waldo asked, holding out a metal canteen. “Yes. Aer go fill this and bring it back.” Kna said, handing the canteen to Aer who quickly walked off. “Leave Strisk. I would have a word alone with this man.” Kna growled at Strisk looking angrily. Strisk knew better than to argue with Kna when she gave him this look. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Waldo.” Strisk said standing to his whole sevenish feet of height stretching as he walked away. Waldo only now realized how small he was compared to Strisk. “Indeed.” Waldo said to Strisk and turned back to Kna. “I have never seen Lydia take to a man as she has to you. Have you cast a spell on her?” Kna asked Waldo. Waldo burst out laughing, taking a moment to control himself. “I have no skill in that kind of magic. If you know how to test one for magic I would happily submit. I suspect I know why she has taken to me but there is nothing magical about it.” Waldo said, having gained control of the strange urge to laugh at magic. “Why?” Kna asked, eyeing him coldly. “Now why should I answer you?” Waldo asked. “What do you care for, of freed slaves? Or are you not her enslaver?” Kna drew back surprised. “You said you knew nothing of this place?” Kna replied. “I have never heard of this city in my life or this land, but I have eyes. Lydia is the only human here beside me. You are a gnoll and Strisk is one of the scaled people’s. I never been around any of them long enough to learn to tell them apart. Lydia clearly has some aversion to Strisk which seems to be unconscious on some level. That suggests it is not that she does not simply dislike him but something more than that. It is obvious to me that she does not belong here and would choose another home, but something prevents that. When I kissed her I ran my hand down her back. I felt the cursed marks of a whip. Is she a free woman or do you own her?” Waldo said, sliding his hand to the knife attached to his lower back. “My people do not enslave others. She is free. I did not know she hated it here.” Kna said going from angry to crestfallen. “I did not know she had been a drake's slave.” “You will say nothing of this. If you value your friendship with her. I did not say she hated it here. She works for you, which I expect is because you are not a drake and probably more than that. I get the sense she misses her people. How long has she been here?” Waldo replied, smoothing his voice. “Several years.” Kna said, drifting in her own thoughts. “If she hated you she would have left. You must make her feel safe in a dark place so she does not wander from your light.” Waldo said. “All the more reason to not let her be abused.” Kna said, gauging Waldo. “You misunderstand something. I will always respect Ma laska.” Waldo said, changing languages without thinking and looking to where Lydia stood talking to Aer as a memory flooded over him for a moment. Waldo felt the other part of him pushing forward for a moment. “Good help you have. Deftly slowing Lydia while we talk.” “What is ma laska?” Kna asked. Waldo hesitated, surprised by Kna's words, then realized he had called Lydia by accident. Waldo knew what it meant somehow but decided he better not translate it directly. “A woman’s right.” Waldo said, choosing a lie over the truth. “Or at least that is a close enough translation in this context.” “So that is another language?” Kna asked. “Yes, one from my a place long ago.” Waldo answered. “Have we not strayed topics at this point?” “I think I have made myself clear and you have made yourself clear now.” Kna said, glancing at Aer and making a low growl. “I will let Lydia make herself clear as she chooses. Now that I do not think you will take something Lydia does not freely offer.” “Have you accepted her as your cub?” Waldo asked, turning to look at Kna. “I ha. . . “ Kna stopped herself, looking surprised at Waldo. “I see it in your eyes, witness it in your fur, and hear it in your voice. She is a daughter in your house. Does she know or do you keep it a secret from all but those who know how to see?” Waldo asked, calmly moving past Kna’s surprise. “You said.” Kna started to accuse trying to remember his words. “I have not seen another race in so long. I cannot tell the scaled races apart. However, I ran with a pack for six years. I was a brother to a gnoll, and son to his parents. I sat at their table and went on their hunts. I sang the rights and washed in their bath. I was once an adopted son, which fills me with pride. If you are not a slaver then I would call you friend.” Waldo said quickly as Lydia approached. Just as he finished speaking he gave a quiet howl in the gnoll tongue he had learned many years ago living on the plains of Halcyon long before the war that had landed him here. Aer stopped mid-step and stared at Waldo as the gnolls in the room turned looking at the grimy human who had named himself to the room in gnollish. Kna openly stared surprised Waldo had been named and knew the proper introduction for himself in a public place. Lydia was confused as to her it appeared Waldo was growling threateningly at Kna. Suddenly, the room responded with a quite gnollish welcome that made Lydia jump. Aer gently placed her hand on Lydia’s shoulder. “They are greeting Waldo in our tongue.” Aer explained to Lydia, seeing she did not know what was happening in the room. “He speaks gnollish?” Lydia said surprised. “I guess.” Aer said, pulling her hand back and moving forward again. “Why did you not say something before?” Kna asked, Waldo as Lydia and Aer walked up. Aer set his canteen on the table. “It was not the time. All things have a place and now was this things place.” Waldo responded. “You are a strange human, but I am comforted and feel as if there is nothing to fear.” Kna said to Waldo then turned to Lydia. “Lydia, you may do as you will the rest of the night and I will not interfere.” “Thank you. May we call this the end of my shift then.” Lydia asked, feeling a little excited. Aer turned moving around the room with the other staff in the inn. “Away with you before I find a need for your aid in tending to my customers. Who I have ignored, too long.” Kna said quickly moving away to help her staff tend to tables. Waldo picked up his pack and canteen. “Lead on, Ma laska.” Waldo said, nodding to Lydia. “Ma laska?” Lydia questioned not saying it quite right. “Sorry, my lady. Old habits.” Waldo said, lying again feeling unsure as to why he felt like he was fighting to stay in control. Lydia raised an eyebrow questioningly but led on. Waldo followed her up the stairs to the second floor and down a hallway lined with six doors. She stopped in front of the door and placed a brass coin over the lock which clicked and the door swung open. Led him into a good sided room with an all wood floor and completely open. A large bed was on one side of the room, a table with two chairs by the door. Space at the foot of the bed. There was space between the bed and a bathtub with a toilet near the back wall with a screen by the toilet and a sink between the tub and toilet. The room was lit by glowing stones fixed to the walls Waldo saw what appeared to be a control for the glowing stones by the door before the table and chairs. There were towels by the sink. Lydia set the plate on the table and the brass coin next to it. Waldo set his bag at the foot of the bed and started to strip away his body armor until he heard the door shut causing him to turn. Waldo smiled seeing Lyida had not left. “Would you like help?” Lydia asked, slowly walking to him with a gaze that excited Waldo. The kiss he had stolen had aroused something in Lydia and the urges she had been pushing back had rushed forward. “I can manage. I am just removing some outer layers. They are deceptively heavy.” Waldo responded. “Please allow me. I want to.” Lydia said, stepping next to him quickly. Waldo allowed her to help him, carefully guiding her hands to the straps holding the armor in place and allowing their fingers to get tangled. “You seem to be intentionally making this difficult.” Lydia accused, after it took almost a full minute to unhook one strap. “Does it bother you?” Waldo asked, playfully nudging her and Lydia realized he was enjoying the delay. “Your food will get cold…” Lydia said, blushing as she started to enjoy the fumbling of their hands and his contact. “Hot or cold it is still food. However, this moment... is all its own.” Waldo said, dragging out her helping him remove his outer layers, which took another five or more minutes. After which, they sat across from each other as he ate his dinner. Lydia studied him as he ate. “Have we met before?” Lydia asked, feeling at ease in his presence. “After a manner…I believe so but not for more than a lifetime.” Waldo responded. “Do you believe in reincarnation?” “Reincarnation?” Lydia asked not being familiar with the word. “My people believe when you die a piece of you, what we would call a soul, starts a new life.” Waldo explained. “I am not much for religion. In my homeland, they said the gods are dead. The Drakes of Xalas seem to think there are gods and people have souls. Most of the gnolls of Grofeas say there are no gods but there is a temple to the gnoll god in Protham and I believe the high priestess is the wife of the city's guard captain.” Lydia replied. “Xalas? Grofeas?” Waldo asked, suspecting these are countries. “Neakar, a large city in the Xalas empire. It even has a palace for the emperor. I don’t think it is the capital of the Xalas empire but I might be wrong. The Grofeas plains are ruled by the gnoll tribes. There are not very many cities on the Grofeas plains and Xalas has tentative peace with the plains gnolls that largely control Grofeas. Protham is the first city in the Grofeas plains after leaving the Xalas empire. Mostly, the Drakes have mined the Grofeas plains of all they are interested in so they leave them alone.” Lydia explained. “What is your home land called?” Waldo asked. “Northumbria, but last I heard it fell to the drakes in the war. I was captured before the Northumbrian king fell. The Teaniel Empire is the last human hold out against the drakes and if it falls the drakes will effectively rule the continent of Atios. Not that they bother much with the Grofeas plains.” Lydia explained. “Ah, so you stay because there is no easy human stronghold to flee to?” Waldo questioned. “I am trying to save up to go to Ibrix but that is a long boat ride off after traveling to the only gnoll port city because I refuse to go back into the Xalas empire. Only problem is Grofeas port city is three hundred leagues to the south east of here. The roads are less than safe and each year there are only about three caravans that make the trek. If I were to cross alone it is unlikely I would make it. The cost of going from here to Ibrix are a little more than a year's wage working here.” Lydia explained sadly. “How many humans reside in Protham?” Waldo asked. “Twelve. All women. Eight are too old for the trek and two are too young to go alone.” Lydia said. “All former slaves of the drakes I assume.” Waldo said. “What?” Lydia said surprised. “I worked interrogations. I learned to read what was left unspoken. You have nothing to fear from me. Slavery is the evilest form of commerce.” Waldo said, kneeling by his chair with his back to Lydia and bearing it. Lydia saw thin white scars from wounds that had healed and been reopened only to heal again over and over again. Lydia was speechless. After a moment Waldo covered himself and sat down facing her. “How did you know?” Lydia questioned. Waldo slid his chair close to her so they were a breath apart. Lydia stared at him waiting for an answer when he kissed her. This time she felt his hand running down her back touching her hidden marks. Waldo pulled back from the kiss after a moment. “Slavers tend to have the same tricks. They leave the same marks on one's body and some people's souls.” Waldo said quietly as he sat a breaths distance from Lydia’s face. The moment stretched as shared history passed between them and without a word spoken they had shared secrets too dark to udder in the quiet of the room then there was a roar of cheers from the commons breaking the spell that dark secrets of shared history had woven for a moment. “I hope we can talk more.” Lydia said, after a moment now that the spell was broken. Lydia stood now that her head had cleared. Lydia was not sure what she would do if she stayed and questioned what she wanted. “Will you stay?” Waldo asked, gently touching Lydia’s hand. Lydia did not pull away. Standing Lydia moved to the door. She intended to open the door and leave but she grabbed the night lock turning the knob. Waldo was not sure what he expected but he would not stop her from leaving. Waldo heard the door lock click into place, Lydia took a few steps toward the bath and moved her hair to one side exposing the ties along her back. Waldo stood and moved to her beginning to untie her dress. Once he was done. Lydia let the dress fall to the floor. Time stretched and shortened all at once and before he knew it exhaustion took them as they lay on the bed together. Lydia snuggled up to him and in a moment her breathing was even and gentle. Waldo knew she had fallen asleep in that moment of respite. Waldo watched her for a moment only to realize how tired he was and started to doze off but just as he heard a voice speak in his mind. “Class gained Soldier, Level one. Skill gained, find allegiance.” “Cancel! Reject!” Waldo whispered, angrily not wanting to wake Lydia. “Class and level canceled.” Waldo was fully awake now. Realizing he is on a game world, Waldo frowned. He considered this for a moment. Waldo had heard of these but never been on one. Now the injury made more sense. He had died on Halcyon. Waldo wondered if Jonah even cared that he had died. Waldo took a moment to consider the implications of being on a gaming world. There would be no intergalactic armada base here. Waldo knew the gaming worlds had been cut off, largely due to proximity. All the gaming worlds were the opposite side of the galaxy. The armada was still a thousand years of growth away. Waldo now knew with certainty there was no simple way back. As he considered this he realized there might be a way. Waldo thought about it for a few minutes as the idea grew in his mind and realized he truly did not want to go back. “I am a God.” Waldo thought to himself, Waldo felt something rush to the front of his mind, something that believed it or he was a god. “Class gained God, level one. Skill gained, anoint worshiper. Quest assigned, claim domain.” Waldo smiled, surprised it was that simple. Waldo considered trying to cancel it but part of him said if he was going to stay here he might as well be a god. Thinking he could do anything as a god. Another part said it was a bad idea and it would not be easy. Waldo wondered why he was feeling so conflicted about everything and why he did not feel like he was in perfect control. Then he wondered if the gods were dead on this world, would he be the only god around, and if so what domain he should claim. Waldo slowly drifted to sleep with these conflicting thoughts.

Relatively short meeting. CM Zegerman was absent (out of the country, visiting family in the Netherlands).
On the consent agenda, we finally awarded a contract for construction of the two street hockey rinks (a previously announced partnership with the Hurricanes)
Two Proclamations, LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, and Juneteenth! PrideFest is on the 8th, and Juneteenth is coming up on the 15th.
There were two rezonings. The first was the approval of a potential YMCA in the New Hill area. This was initially recommended for denial by staff and the planning board, but since then the applicant worked with staff to revise some conditions that were of concern. It was approved 4-0. Second was a minor revision to a previously approved project on Humie Olive Place, to allow access via a alley way. It was approved 4-0 as well.

If you’re going to keep deleting my posts, ultimately you’re doing more harm to the community by putting people at severe risk of not being able to get better from this. There is a huge variation in the folks who are bed ridden with this condition with VSS and folks who just have VS.
The folks who complain and draw comparisons are folks who don’t have debilitating symptoms. Their symptoms are benign enough in the form of visual snow, afterimages and palinopsia that they cannot accept there are others who suffer from far more debilitating symptoms.
My posts are not for the ones with 1-2 symptoms, because neither will they ever accept my line of thought, neither will they ever want to consider anything other than a biological drug. My posts are for the folks, who are debilitated with excessive symptoms, because they need a way to get better and not constantly feel like dying.
So before you delete my posts based on a bunch of nut cases complaining about my line of thought, consider how the ones who are severely debilitated get hurt by being taken hope away from them. Not everyone has the privelidge or ability to just kill their severe ptsd and depression with a SSRI or lamotrigine. If mental health was so easy as taking a pill, then things would be pretty simple. If SSRI or lamotrigine worked for any more than 20% people, things would be rather simple.
So stop being idiotic and deleting posts because a bunch of people don’t have nothing to loose over complaining. Whilst others have a lot to loose without any direction other than the stupid notion of someone will invent a cure in a pill some day.

Hi, first time building a pc.
When i power on, i am able to get the cpu fan to run. Motherboard and gpu both have lights.
But the problem is that i kept getting “no signal”
What i have done: - replug all the psu cables - reseat the GPU - update bios to the latest version - tried using hdmi and display port cable (the monitor i am using is working as i was using it for my previous computer) - i tried using my 7800x3D IGPU and was able to get to bios setting
So does this mean there is something wrong with my gpu?
also side note: - the motherboard VGA have a constant white light - the gpu came with an adapter which is 3x8pin. I was only able to connect 2x8pin because the corsair psu supply only came with 2x 8pin. could this be the reason why there is no signal? but then some people say 2x 8pin should be able to work.
i am lost… any advice

Hi everyone,
I’m in need of some advice on what to do next after a recent incident involving my dog. Here’s the situation:
My dog was off leash playing with my friend and his dog. During this time, my dog picked up the scent of another dog and ran off. My friend and I followed, only to find out that my dog had gotten into a scuffle with another dog, which was in the care of a local dog walker. The dog walker intervened to stop the fight and got hurt in the process.
I fully take responsibility for my dog being off leash. The dog walker was understandably shaken and concerned about potential infections. I assured her that my dog is fully vaccinated and provided advice on cleaning the wound and what to watch for regarding infections.
The dog walker has now messaged me, expressing concern that she might not be able to work tomorrow, which would mean a loss of income for her. She mentioned that the pain is in her arm and hand, not directly where the skin is damaged, but there’s a bump causing discomfort caused from the incident.
Here’s some context:
1) My dog has never attacked a person and has always greeted this dog walker nicely before.
2) Both dogs involved are males and of similar age, so it seems the aggression was directed at each other.
3) The wound is more skin damage/broken skin. No heavy bleeding. It was however caused by dog teeth.
4) I did not witness the fight myself and can only go by the information provided by the dog walker. She was with one other person at the time.
5) My friend, who saw my dog when he caught up before me, said my dog seemed calm and was standing still.
My dilemma is:

1. If she can’t work for a day, should I offer to pay her? I feel it would be the right thing to do. 2. I’m worried that one day off could turn into a week or more, and I have no way of knowing if she has any pre-existing conditions that could complicate things. 3. I’m concerned this could turn into a legal matter, such as a no win no fee injury case. 

Any advice on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

2. $60 - Ryzen 5 1500X AM4 CPU. In full working order. Again, used in my main gaming PC for a number of years.
3. $25 Each - AMD Wraith Spire & Wraith Stealth CPU Fans. The Stealth is brand new, unused. The box is open to remove the CPU that came with it. I do have the box if you need it. The Spire is used but fully working and in good shape.

I would prefer local meetup / pickup, but if it makes sense I would be open to shipping at the buyers expense.
Would move everything for $140.

I finished the assessments the other day for a GS-11. Half of it was easy and silly; half of it reminded me of the GREs. The last few fed jobs I've applied to, I didn't need to take the assessments so I got caught off-guard. That's on me.
Reading assessment This was the most stressful to me, which is weird because I have an English degree and regularly write technical scientific reports. I think it's easy to overthink the answers sometimes. I took a few notes of questions during the test to look them up, and if I didn't pass any section I feel like it was probably this one. I realized after in spot-checking some of the (to me) trickier questions, I chose the second-best answer which was wrong on a technicality or something. I also should've tracked how many questions I was actually asked to answer. I hung a piece of tissue paper over my monitor to hide the countdown because it was making me more anxious. TL;DR someone with an English BA, a grad degree in the sciences, and a long career of reading/writing technical documents still got flummoxed by some of these. Oh well. On to the next.
Logic/Reasoning assessment. After the reading section was so so stressful, I was very nervous about this. I actually had fun with it though! It was nice to have questions with a clear, verifiably right/wrong answer. The reading could be interpreted with nuance sometimes (overthinking), but the logic ones were just "work the problem." I was really pleased with how I felt about it. That being said I probably still got a lot wrong. TL;DR logic puzzles not that bad, if you manage time well, sketch them out, & have time to check if your answer meets all the conditions.
Judgment/Interactions assessment. This one was the goofiest. Clearly made in the 1990s & not updated since. There were still a few questions which I took notes on & checked, & realized "huh, the test developers valued something different than me because I totally would do #3 instead of #2." Still, mostly easy. Has a % done bar at the top. TL;DR seemed like "pick the least ahole & most ahole answers, or the answers which solve & perpetuate the problem the most.
"Personality" test. The only un-timed one. It also has the % done bar. These are pretty easy to see the "right" answer. For better or worse I still usually answer honestly instead of giving the "correct" answer. Those are pretty much usually the same anyway. I see these as more of a personality gradient with only a few "right/wrong" questions. TL;DR the easiest & least stressful "test".
Question: I assume the first 2 tests, which say "somewhere between 10 & 25 Qs" evaluate you as you go-- & if you start by getting the first 10 in a row wrong, then you can't pass & the test concludes? Is that right? I should've kept a tally of how many questions I was asked... I think I got asked at least 21 in each but I only loosely remember.
Good luck to folks taking the tests! Like most people, I don't think they're a referendum on anyone's intelligence or capability to do a job. I think they're just another hurdle in job applications, & a test on how good you are at taking tests.

Welcome back to my running series of WWF PPV Reviews from a ‘blind’ perspective (I have no idea what’s going to happen; the results, the feuds or how good any of the matches will be). I have always heard stories of the attitude era and golden age but never watched it myself so I set myself to watching every single PPV event chronologically. I am also watching Wrestling Bios ‘reliving the war’ series to keep me updated inbetween the events with the feuds, and to get excited about upcoming matches.
Before I review the matches, based on the past few episodes of raw and last PPVs I’ll let you know, going into the event, which match I’m most excited for and which feud I’m most excited to see.
The card tonight isn’t particularly stacked, mid card and opener wise, but it’s gotta be dude love vs stone cold. They had by far the best match last PPV and it will be the same story again tonight guaranteed. Anything involving stone cold will have McMahon involved and that feud is the big draw right now. Feud and match wise that’s my most anticipated match.
WWF Over The Edge 1998 Match Ratings
LOD 2000 vs DOA 1.75/5
Double J vs Steve mofuggin Blackman 1.25/5
Marc Mero vs Sable N/A
Kaientai vs Bradshaw & Taka Michinoku 1.25/5
Farooq vs The Rock 0.75/5
Kane vs Vader 1.75/5
D-Generation X vs The Nation 2.5/5
Dude Love vs Stone Cold Steve Austin 5/5
The absolute nerve of the wwf here to book LOD and DOA two PPVs in a row… to be fair though the crowd actually really seemed into this match. LOD still have a little juice left in the tank but they are truly just openers here. DOA I really don’t enjoy their in ring ability. It was an okay match and really not too much to say here. There was a very big pop when LOD won though.
The Rock cuts a promo next and he’s got his own entrance music, although it’s nowhere near as good as his future theme it’s still great that he’s not got that NOD music anymore, he’s finally his own wrestler. He shit talks the crowd but Farooq comes to the ring to get something damage in early before their match later. Not an amazing promo or anything but it builds some hype for later on although this is thrown up in the air as rock is injured from a pile driver on top of a chair. I suppose this is to make rock over as a champion?
Austin cuts a promo and says “mr McMahons ass belongs to me”… okay Steve if you say so.
Double J is brought to the ring by Tennessee Lee with some crazy visuals behind him as he does his strut in the ring but there’s just no crowd reaction apart from a few boos which made me laugh. Steve mofuggin Blackman then makes his way to the ring and double J doesn’t know what he’s in for.
The crowd seemed to be more entertained by the Al Snow silliness on the outside of the ring and you can’t blame them, this match was very very slow. The interference from Tennessee Lee was kinda interesting but there weren’t really many good looking moves, one of Blackmans kicks looked good in the middle of the match though. Another just below average okay match.
Next we get to see who sable has picked to represent her for the match and she makes her way to the ring but gah dayam she looks great tonight. Let’s see if she can get herself out of this toxic relationship… by fighting Mero herself? Mero then pretends to care about sable and lets her pin him… but then the switcheroo and what a scumbag! He gets the pin on sable and sings her out of the stadium. I feel like they should’ve done a little more with this match… or at least the post match angle.
The next match is apparently a “bonus match”? What does that even mean… I know what it means they didn’t have the roster right now for a full ppv so they booked this match in the middle as filler. But to be fair I have really enjoyed the light heavyweight Japanese wrestling recently so let’s see what they can do.
I actually enjoyed seeing Bradshaw just demolish multiple people half his size and taka did well but something about this match I really didn’t enjoy. It didn’t really flow well it felt random there was no story the crowd wasn’t into it… just not really a great viewing experience. Bradshaw was out over kinda here as he demolished the opponents but his team still lost…? I don’t know. But this first half of the ppv has really not been good.
Farooq comes to the ring and the rocks music plays multiple times before sgt slaughter comes to the ring to tell us that the rock has to compete or he will be stripped of the belt. There’s a countdown and rock just about beats the count making his way to the ring with a brace around his neck. If this does anything it only puts the rock over even as a heel, proving he has the heart of a champion, whereas I’m pretty sure they did this to make you enjoy seeing the heel struggling. But this is the wrong way round… Farooq is baby face in this situation but he’s done the heel move and Rocky has done the baby face move. Confusing by the wwf as you route for Rocky in this situation.
Farooq starts off demolishing the rock on the outside but eventually rock makes a comeback and delivers the peoples elbow. Farooq to be fair to him has improved his in ring ability and he’s actually able to have a coherent 1v1 match now. I have no idea what happened in the middle of the match but there was a false 3 count or something? I don’t know what they were going for there but it came off very badly and just looked weird. The rock wins and gets a pop but Farooq once again is playing heel as he assaults Rocky with two piledrivers after the bell. This was just a bad match… the angle was weird the match was bad the roles were reversed I don’t know what the wwf was thinking with this one.
DX comes to the ring after the match ends to help Farooq out to a big pop and they’re clearly the biggest group in the wwf now.
We’ve got Kane vs Vader next and last time these two wrestled I really enjoyed their chemistry so I hope they can pull something good off here, this PPV really needs it as honestly it’s just been bad so far… really bad.
I don’t know what to think of this match. It was average but the slug fest was good in the middle of the match a couple of times, and vaders moonsault looked good even though it missed. The stipulation for the unmasking was an okay gimmick but since Kane won and Vader had to unmask… which we’ve seen multiple times before so it was a little pointless.
Oh man this ppv is REALLY bad so far I just don’t even have the motivation to properly dissect these matches. Vader was looking pretty slow, Kane wasn’t performing that’s well it just wasn’t that great and the crowd had no pops during the whole bout.
The whole next section was so weird… the king literally takes a hall of famers leg off and gets assaulted by a literal like 80 year old? I don’t know what on earth this was all about. I looked it up and apparently Vince was telling Lawler to do this but it just came off as mean spirited and cringe. Please DX, please do something fun and save this event.
DX is very over with the crowd as they do a little showboating and talk to the people in attendance which was good before the match. The nation then walk out to the rocks music for whatever reason.
The crowd was pretty disinterested, chanting boring at points in this match and you can’t blame them it’s been a very slow night with not a lot to get hyped about. This PPV has really shown how thin the roster can feel. We’ve had Edge promo videos recently so I’m very excited for him to come in and mix up the matches in the mid card.
I thought the match was well worked though it just dragged on a little bit too long. I thought Owen hart and Hunter looked great and it made it interesting when they were at each others throats in the match because of their feud continually going on. Road dog actually impressed me as well he took some great hits and looked clean in the ring. I really don’t enjoy The Nations reliance on rest holds, they always do it and in a 6 man tag team match during a ppv semi main event they just shouldn’t do it; tag in someone else and mix it up. The crowd did have one pop for the spiked piledrivers on top of the belt. But when the nation won the crowd absolutely went mild. They did okay and it was better than anything else we’ve seen tonight but that’s not really saying much.
If this main event doesn’t hit then this PPV I will class as an absolute STINKER!! It has to hit, with all the heat between McMahon and Austin at the moment it just has to be interesting at the very least.
I didn’t realise that pat jerry and McMahon were all involved as officials for this match all playing roles to screw over Austin. The odds are completely stacked against Austin. We get a brilliant promo video really hyping up this main event and okay I’m back alive now I have faith that this match will save the event from being a failure. I will note though they seriously need to improve the mid card matches.
It was a great idea to have the ring announcers read from cards, it portrays that they’re just bigging themselves up to levels they don’t deserve, a great small detail to put themselves over as the heel “team”. They all get a huge round of boos as they are announced and brought to the ring, I can’t wait for the Austin pop. People REALLY don’t like Vince here as he’s got drinks and trash being thrown at him in the ring. Dude love is up next as the corporate version of his character, and I think it’s a combo that works really well. THIS IS GREAT WWF MORE OF THIS!! I applaud them for stretching this out as long as possible this is the right type of hype and buildup that works well. The ring announcer pat did a great job introducing everyone to the ring and refusing to introduce stone cold. The glass shatters and the crowd loses it, everyone is ready for Austin to open a can of whoop ass on all these fools, and I’m excited for the first time during this ppv. ALL OF A SUDDEN UNDERTAKERS MUSIC PLAYS AND YES! YES YES! I’m so glad he’s involved in this ppv in some way I had no clue he was going to be here. He will act as a “protector of the peace” kind of character here and make sure no shenanigans goes down. Great work. Would’ve liked to see him actually wrestle though 😒.
The match is underway and after Vince breaks Austin off foley he flips McMahon off for a MASSIVE pop from the audience. They continue to wrestle and it’s just getting going when the crowd chants “Vince is gay”, brilliant. Austin then takes foleys teeth out and stamps on them, complete disrespect. Austin takes a great looking bump on the steel steps as they both make their way to the outside of the ring as undertaker looks on. Just him being there improves the match even more. Austin takes another hard bump from an Irish whip to the corner and foley is in control during the early goings of this match. The crowd is thunderous right now having the JR and Lawler needing to shout to be heard.
Austin is thrown over the Spanish commentator table (this always makes me laugh as it’s ALWAYS them that people get thrown into) and it’s announced that this is a NO DQ match. Just brilliant stuff. Austin gets back in control though just demolishing foley by throwing him into the timekeepers area, over the barrier and he plays to the crowd in the middle of the audience, this was an amazing visual. It’s so impressive how Austin can have these matches even with his neck injury and knee troubles that he’s had. It’s then announced that falls count anywhere and there’s just less and less regulation as we go on, this could get really chaotic and I’m all here for it!
Austin is thrown on top of a car hood and foleys laying in some damage but Austin hot shots foley into another car. They’re making use of the creative set getting on top of one of the cars but foley throws Austin face first across another of the cars. Foley sunset flips off a car to a close 2 and a half kick out. This back and forth is f***ing brilliant.
Austin’s been busted open as foley assaults him with a metal pipe but Austin comes back with a flurry of right hands. But foley once again counters hitting him with two suplexes on the concrete floor but still Austin manages to kick out. Foley goes to drop an elbow from the top of a car but Austin rolls out of the way. McMahon slow counts but foley kicks out and Vince is intimidated by undertaker watching on closely. They make their way back to the ring and foley has exposed the turnbuckle after brisco trips Austin up and foley gets a chance to lay in some damage again. Foley hits Austin with a clean looking running knee and throws him into the exposed turnbuckle again, to which foley locks in a chin hold and we get a shot reminiscent of WM13 with hart and Austin. Patterson hands foley a chair and he hits Austin with a massive shot to the back, and a DDT on top of the chair but Austin continues to kick out.
The crowd is electric for this match as Austin counters with a kick to the face while foley holds a chair up, Austin then hits the chair on the ropes hitting himself in the face which was really funny. Foley hits McMahon with a chair, Austin hits a stunner, another ref comes down, brisco drags him out, undertaker drags brisco out, he hits him with a choke slam, he hits Patterson with a choke slam, Austin with another stunner and Austin uses McMahons arm to count himself and retain the title.
I couldn’t even keep up with the ending to that match that was pure insanity! It’s a car wreck in and out of the ring as the undertaker and Austin share a respectful look at each other and Austin celebrates in the ring after overcoming the odds. The crowd absolutely loved that match and so did I. By far match of the night, BY FAR. They absolutely knocked it out of the park, pure entertainment from bell to bell including before the match even started with Patterson and brisco. This also sets up some other potential matches in the wwf off this main event as I’m assuming dude love won’t get another chance at the title. A fantastic main event that exceeded expectations for me.
Overall this event is not worth watching at all, except for the main event. The main event seriously saved this ppv from being a complete failure, the crowd were bored and disinterested and even booed and chanted boring during the semi main event. Skip absolutely everything and just watch the main event because it was really good. This should be a message to the wwf that the mid card is really lacking any proper star power and I’m assuming at some point this year they will bolster their roster to improve this.
Irrespective of the main event I can’t give this ppv over 2 as the mid card was so unbelievably weak.
Overall rating 2/5

I just bought a used Rancilio Silvia. I didn't realise it at the time but it's a 1999 model V1. It's absolutely mint condition, fully functioning and recently refurbished machine with an upgraded ball joint steam wand.
However, I've just learnt the OPVs on these aren't adjustable. I've come from the Gaggia Classic camp so I assumed they were.
Did I make a mistake here?
I paid $500 AUD. Non-working models go for $200-300 on marketplace, with working models listed at $650-800.
My ocd is making me anxious that I've bought the wrong machine!
Edit: fixing errors

Hi, first time building a pc.
When i power on, i am able to get the cpu fan to run. Motherboard and gpu both have lights.
But the problem is that i kept getting “no signal”
What i have done: - replug all the psu cables - reseat the GPU - update bios to the latest version - tried using hdmi and display port cable (the monitor i am using is working as i was using it for my previous computer) - i tried using my 7800x3D IGPU and was able to get to bios setting
So does this mean there is something wrong with my gpu?
also side note: - the motherboard VGA have a constant white light - the gpu came with an adapter which is 3x8pin. I was only able to connect 2x8pin because the corsair psu supply only came with 2x 8pin. could this be the reason why there is no signal? but then some people say 2x 8pin should be able to work.
i am lost… any advice

GERD for 20 years. Omeprazole or Pantoprazole the whole time. Before I started treatment, I had all the classical symptoms and the acid destroyed most of my teeth. After treatment, I mostly had stomach cramps and back pain, with a lot of bloating, but no actual reflux. Also, it's difficult for me to burp, as if my esophagus got thinner or something.
Lately, I've had symptoms close to Orthopnea - shortness of breath while lying down (mostly at night) and a slightly tight chest. Thing is, I'm not gasping for air or anything or respirating faster nor any swollen feet. I do have a bicuspid aortic valve, but I read that Orthopnea is usually from left ventrical dysfunction, which mine is fine. Kind of feels like a stuffed nose, except in my lungs/throat, hard to describe. Sit upright and it almost immediately goes away. I've noticed my omeprazole has started to not work as great lately and find myself taking antacids and pepto. Might be the garlic and lemon juice I've added to my daily diet (removing them now). I'm thinking of taking a second dose in the evening and seeing what happens.
Also, last year I developed allergies and had trouble breathing for the first time in my life around the same time as now last year. Could be that too, or both. Also, a history of anxiety.
Anyone else?

I haven’t seen this question so I’m sorry if it’s been discussed a thousand times. Last night I went to use the rest of my first vial and there was sooo much liquid sitting around the inner part of the cap that wouldn’t come out. I was surprised that I hadn’t heard about this being an issue. So I googled how to empty the vial and found a video that shows you how to use needle nosed pliers to pry back the metal, then take off the rubber cap and suck up the last of it through the syringe. It worked! I got about an extra 1.5 mg once I removed the cap. It was a pain because I had air and had to release some more and suck it back up again until I could get less air in the syringe. It took a little time to get the cap off too. But it was worth it and I was surprised that it completely emptied. I ended up about .5 short of the amount I was going to take but I went with what I got. Hope this is helpful in case anyone else is wondering the same!

Our SGI Family Wrestles with the War in Gaza and College Protests, Part 3: "When a nation becomes disordered, it is the spirits that first show signs of rampancy. Because the spirits become rampant, all the people of the nation become disordered.
What follows is an opinion piece written by one SGI family and represents our--and only our--thoughts.
In Part 1 we shared with you our worries as parents about the "ideosphere." How will its current negativity shape the thinking of our small children as they grow up? In Part 2 we argued that you have to look at the deep philosophies underlying our country's ideosphere. Do you see something grand or narrow? Is it conflicted or hollow?
Today we want you to consider this idea in Nichiren's treatise On Establishing the Correct Teaching:

When a nation becomes disordered, it is the spirits that first show signs of rampancy. Because the spirits become rampant, all the people of the nation become disordered. (WND-1, p. 8)

You may wonder, exactly how does this process work? Why don't you to hop into the car with us to understand the road conditions?
In The New Human Revolution Volume 18 (centered on events in 1973), Shin’ichi Yamamoto spoke about Nichiren's statement and how it applied to the instability of society. At that time Japan and much of the world was dealing with an international oil crisis leading to escalating oil prices and inflation This, in turn, drove economic, social and political upheaval:

The spirits [Nichiren] refers to are demons who snatch away the life of others or who snatch away blessings (see The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, p. 114).

Hmmm… Demons? Snatching away the life of others? Driving away blessings? Remind you of a horror movie?
Yes, on reflection, this makes sense! You all know people in "a life state of thoroughgoing egoism." Just turn on the news and you see with your own eyes "the devilish nature inherent in human life." No matter whether you get your news from Fox or MSNBC, those talking heads reflect the rampant spirits--aka out-of-control tribalism. It's "The Lord of the Flies" time, "we" versus "the other." Never listen, never compromise. Shoot to win 50.1% and be king of the road until 4 years later when you find yourself among the 49.9%. You have to agree that this represents devilish functions that are out of control.
You can see this reflected in the actions of leaders-- whether political or thought leaders such as influencers--who are feckless, chaotic, and hollow. They simply cannot see or feel the pain of others. They are out of control.
Sensei explains that Nichiren's concept of the nation encompassed two aspects: the natural environment and human society. The next paragraph explains this in some more detail and I think is the crucial one for you to think about:

When the nation comprising the environment and human beings is in turmoil—and in fact in the lead-up to that turmoil—not just the human ego but an even more fundamental force, the devilish functions of life, begins to grow into a roiling undercurrent.

And this is what you are seeing right in front of your eyes right now: the devilish functions of life are growing into "a roiling undercurrent." Nothing else can satisfactorally explain the out-of-control anger and stupidity you are observing!

As a result, people’s hearts and minds become disordered, leading the nation and society toward ruin. Without a teaching that resolves life’s fundamental problems, social confusion and discord cannot be resolved.

You all maybe understand this theoretically, safe and sound in your living room. But we live it here. Take Julie's emotionalism during the Winter Season when our clients were MAGA weekenders. It brought her back to growing* up as the child of Whoopi and Elizabeth mission), an interracial lesbian couple, duringryone's pe an era in which people were noy sympathetic the eve to either. She was shunned and bulliedtten wi as a child and retreated into her hoodie. (above written with everyone's permission).
She had to face this during the season and built a relationship with Bernie who was actually the leader of the pack. Now they are inseparable and best of friends! It might be a microscopic event but it represents exactly what must happen on a societal scale!
Sensei concludes:

That’s what makes the mission of the Soka Gakkai, which is dedicated to spreading the great life philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism, so important. I declare here and now that the time has come for us to nourish society with a fresh groundswell of kosen-rufu.” (NHR-18, 240–41)

We hope you can follow us next week when we plan to post again. We'd like to study with you some headlines from over the past few months. What do you think? Do you think you will see signs of the Julie-Bernie dialogue happening on a wider scale?

Starting with a random sgiwhistleblowers post and scrolling up to today, let’s see how many untruths, deceptive semantic mental gymnastics and other common traits of the sub we can find.
They post: “There is pressure on people to turn every negative into a positive…” And that must be bad.
Hold it right there! The purpose of the SGI is each person’s happiness leading to a shift in the general communal atmosphere. In other words, learning to turn negatives into fuel for positive development. So complaining about that is like asking a tutor to help with math, and when he says “Okay, let’s open out books”, you say “Why are you pressuring me to learn math?” It isn’t “pressure” to turn your negative circumstance into something beneficial – it’s why you’re here.
The same post continues: “… but we should be allowed to say ‘I went through something really strange and awful, and it has altered me forever’.”
Huh? Whose permission do you need to say that? You are certainly “allowed”. You are certainly free to practice whatever religion it is that doesn’t believe you can change. “Altered” can mean a lot of things, though. It could mean “I will never trust anyone” or something pessimistic like that. And there are all kinds of examples – St,. Paul, Dante, Josei Tida, Nelson Mandela – who experienced something that altered them forever in very positive and beneficial ways. Countless SGI members too, and other regular folks: “Experiencing that abuse made me determined to help others going through the same thing”. That sort of thing.
Then there’s a post quoting someone who was the victim of quite violent domestic abuse, and trying to apply it to former SGI members. Pathetic. (This happens a lot at sgiwhistleblowers – something negative about something else entirely, but because it’s negative, the SGI “must” be guilty of it too. Lety’s pretend it is, okay!
Next, the esteemed great guru of sgiwhistleblowers uses a sock puppet name that sexualizes young girls. Pretty typical – she and her disciples once were laughing about making Nazi dominatrix dolls out of young women in the SGI. Her post, by the way, shows that she goes to a lot of trouble to enhance statements she makes up out of thin air (e.g., SGI members are “helpless people” – do YOU feel “helpless”? Me either).
Scrolling up, and sandwiched between a few sock puppet efforts to be clever by making up quotes by Sensei, we find a meme talking about how victims of trauma often suffer additionally be not being believed.
Couldn’t agree more. And I wonder how the dynamic works when the trauma is self inflicted: someone tells you to do something and you don’t exercise your freedom to say “no”; the situation you fond yourself in doesn’t match your preconceived notions of what it ought to9 be – circumstances like that. I don’t have an answer.
A word about those made up quotes: SGIWhistleblowers pretend they are a “support” group for ex SGI members who feel (in some cases) traumatized. Puerile reminders of their past experience are not coping mechanisms – they are expressions of hatred, merant to prolong the association by encouraging that hatred. That is what SGIWhistleblowers really is – an effort tog et people to hate. Not “recover” – hate.
Next up – another typical sgiwhistleblowers Chief Priest deception. She often fins articles that have absolutely nothing to do with the SGII, but because they discuss bad behavior by someone, she tries to fool people into thinking is about the SGI. It’s another example of the absurdities hate leads one into doing.
Then, in another post, she does it again.
Pathetic.
I left one post out (for now).

Ok so first off, no I don’t work in the industry, and it’s too late in life for me to make a change like this, so I have been pondering this question for people who were younger or maybe someone with less risk (no family and IDGAF attitude… someone like a Snowden personality)
IF such a person existed and wanted to get inside and close enough to get evidence worth leaking…. how would they go about getting noticed and recruited?
I’m thinking some things would help… previous posts mentioned being a student or researcher at BYU, but what else? A career in Air Force with enough years and experience to warrant top secret clearance?
Physics background?
Maybe a student for bio-chemistry?
I honestly think it’s a matter of time before a dedicated truth seeker can get deep enough and blow the lid off the black budget UAP crash recoveries with hard, irrefutable evidence (more than just hearsay)
Even better would be hard evidence of the “biologics.” (Not my word, using the Grusch terminolgy)
But what else might help a truth seeker get inside?

Hi all,
I'm getting ready to set up my home theatre room in the new house. Haven't bought anything yet as I don't want to be surprised by any non-compatibility issues or some features working in my conditions below expectations.
For the AVR I will probably go with Denon X3800h (7.1.4 setup, 11 channel processing is a must). For the projector I think my best option is Epson LS11000.
To the point:
LS11000 Supplemental A/V Support Specification doesn't show support for 1080 120hz. http://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/13/34/58/b539894f0c3efa39b68eefd2fd218c5ad60f5b8d/AV_Support_Specification_EHLS12000B_Ver1.2.0.pdf
However I have seen a review https://youtu.be/TjgXfRMtmSU?si=EM1zVjKTo60JoOfb&t=1426 where input lag for 1080p120 is tested.
Will I be able to get 1080p120 directly from PC? Or do I have to connect PC to AVR and make X3800H upscale the image to 4k to get to 120hz? If so, how much input lag are we talking here?
