2024.06.02 17:48 Normodox After Oct. 7, the first Shabbat-observant president of University of California Santa Barbara received a barrage of threats and intimidation. Armed with Jewish pride, she’s not backing down.
 | Tessa Veksler is the first Shabbat-observant Jewish Student Body President in the history of the University of California Santa Barbara. Before October 7th, she was just another President who happened to be Jewish. After October 7th, everything changed. A day has not gone by without Tessa getting harrowing threats. But she is determined to follow in the footsteps of her ancestors who were also persecuted for being Jewish, and is standing her ground. submitted by Normodox to BeneiYisraelNews [link] [comments] At only 21 years old, Tessa Veksler made history when she became the first Shabbat-observant Jew to become Student Body President at the University of California Santa Barbara. Her parents were non-religious Jews who immigrated from the Soviet Union. They sent her brother (20 years older than her) to Catholic school. By the time Tessa was of school-age, her parents enrolled her in public school and sent her to a supplementary Hebrew school. “My parents raised my brother differently than me. They left the Soviet Union under duress and had been persecuted for being Jewish. When they first came to America, they were still terrified to practice any form of Judaism. By the time I was of school age, they were more open-minded to the idea of Jewish activities.” ut when Tessa turned 12, her parents refused to make her a Bat Mitzvah. “There were limits to how Jewish they wanted me to be. They saw me heading in a direction they didn’t want me to go towards.” Because of all this conflicting messaging, as a teenager it was hard for Tessa to figure out where Judaism sat in her life. She didn’t feel much Jewish unity or pride for Israel in high school, but all that changed when she visited Israel for the first time. “When I was 17, my parents actually urged me to go on a trip to Israel with NCSY. They didn’t know NCSY was a Modern Orthodox group—they thought it was similar to Birthright. This trip transformed my entire life and made me want to pursue a more traditional type of Judaism for myself.” When Tessa came back from the trip, she told her parents how incredible it was. “And by the way…” she added, “I’d like to start keeping Shabbat.” They were confused and angry, and couldn’t understand what came over their daughter. Tessa began the long journey of convincing them that being observant wasn’t a bad thing, and that it was a contribution to a beautiful life she was about to start exploring. She also started digging into her family’s past. She wanted to know what her family had been like before they were persecuted. “I asked my parents, what did our family look like before my grandparents’ generation? I realized that if it wasn’t for the Soviet Union’s antisemitism, they would still be the proud, observant Jews they wanted to be but couldn’t be.” Tessa’s involvement in NCSY grew and she made the bold decision to spend a gap year in Israel. This concept was foreign to her parents. “Let’s just look at the options,” Tessa insisted through their struggle. She also applied to colleges and committed to UCSB. Then the Covid-19 pandemic hit which led to the perfect opportunity to live in Israel. Tessa deferred her first semester of UCSB and attended Bar Ilan University in Israel. After Tessa’s grandmother passed away in December of 2020, Tessa returned to America for the funeral and to attend UCSB afterward. Covid-19 became rampant at that time and in-person classes were no longer an option anywhere. Tessa flew back to Israel on January 6, 2021. “The next morning,” Tessa explained in an Aish.com interview, “Israel went into total lockdown, shut down their airports, and no one was able to get in or out.” Tessa was now able to continue her classes in Israel during the day, and attend her UCSB Zoom classes from 10:00 PM until 2:00 AM. “I was committed to a surreal situation where I had the best of both worlds.” In May of 2021, war broke out in Israel. Tessa lived through this ten-day war called “Operation Guardian of the Walls.” “The war exposed me to the harsh reality that Israelis have to experience all the time. This is their constant reality.” The week after the war ended, Tessa was in a Zoom meeting fighting a BDS resolution at UCSB. That moment was turning point for her. “I was sitting in a country that had just experienced an atrocity. I had personally experienced ten days of rockets launched towards Israel, and here I was having to defend Israel’s right to exist to a bunch of Americans across the world that had no idea what they were talking about.” When Tessa returned home, she felt emboldened to become part of the Jewish community and student government at her university. In her first position in student government, she worked under an Israeli Student Body President. After just a few weeks of working for her, Tessa knew she wanted to eventually run for her position. Eventually, Tessa was elected as Student Body President herself. “It didn’t matter that I was the President of Students Supporting Israel (SSI) at the time of the student government elections. People still elected me to represent the entire student body.” She became the first Shabbat-observant President in history at UCSB. “I wanted to normalize the idea that I was proudly Jewish and proudly observant in a predominantly non-Jewish atmosphere. I wanted to show that I was able to lead the student body well, not despite my observance but because of it. Taking 25 hours off every week would help me be a better leader. Being part of a community that went through many challenges would also help me be a better leader.” But October 7th, 2023, changed everything. The AftermathThe massacre in Israel took place on a Saturday morning, which was also the holiday of Simchat Torah. Because Tessa is Shabbat-observant, she turned off her electronics on Friday in the late afternoon. When she woke up in the morning on Shabbat, her two housemates were sitting in her bedroom, waiting for her to get up.As soon as she opened her eyes, they said, “Tessa, there is a war in Israel.” Tessa shrugged it off. “There is always a war in Israel. I lived there for two wars.” “No, this is different. It’s not what you think.” They began to describe what happened and Tessa shrunk with shock and dismay. When she turned on her phone after the holiday, she realized it was the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. On October 9th, Tessa created a post on Social Media. “Standing up for Jewish human rights is not political. Being Jewish shouldn’t be a safety hazard. Being Israeli shouldn’t be a death sentence.” Starting that very day Tessa was harassed, bullied and threatened, and the intimidation has not stopped since. Antisemitic students began a targeted campaign to remove Tessa from her role as President. But Tessa stood her ground and refused to step down for being a Jew. They tried to impeach her but failed. Tessa was not going anywhere and planned to finish her term with pride. For months Tessa tried to remain silent and handle the intimidation and threats in a quiet manner. “I tried to speak to the administration to see if we could find a solution. They made it clear that there was no solution. They claimed it fell under the category of free speech.” The final straw was when the Multicultural Center displayed several signs targeting Tessa. You can run, but you can’t hide, Tessa Veksler, and Zionists not allowed were some examples. She and other Jewish students started receiving open threats of bodily harm. Tessa fought back with dignity and strength. She maintains, “maybe Zionists are not allowed, but we aren’t going anywhere. No matter how much you tell Jews they can’t be here, we absolutely deserve to be in the same space that non-Jews are in.” She has been told that because the harassment was not pervasive—i.e. she wasn’t suffering enough—and there is nothing to be done. “Jews don’t fit into this box of victimhood. When Jews are told we can’t succeed somewhere, we create our own business. We prosper in places we are told we shouldn’t. People didn’t expect someone like me to experience the level of harassment I did and still stay on as President, taking on this endless barrage of hate. “Because I’m strong, people think, ‘oh it must not be that bad.’ In our society, you’re the oppressor if you show strength in the face of adversity.” Insights on AntisemitismTessa believes that antisemites will hate you regardless of whether you choose to succeed or choose to succumb to their hate. “As a Jewish person, you should never live life the way an antisemite tells you to live it. They will still find a reason to despise you, so maintain your position and role.”She also states that living as a proud Jew is the antisemite’s worst nightmare. “I am even prouder in every space that I go now. That’s a valuable contribution to humanizing Jews and making people understand being Jewish is not a negative thing, it’s the greatest gift you can possibly have.” Tessa would like to see more support from the non-Jewish community in their fight against hate. She asks, “How different would things be if on October 8th, the world got together to ban Hamas? What if all college students bound together to fight for the release of hostages? The outcome on college campuses and globally in the aftermath of October 7th would have been very different.” A world that chooses not to stand up only fuels antisemitism. Tessa maintains that college students need to be empowered to speak up for others being persecuted. She does not think students should worry about selecting colleges based on how bad antisemitism is. “We are going to fight to make sure the next generation is better off than it was for us. We won’t allow it to continue. We are at the pinnacle of a discussion of what is and isn’t consistent with free speech. Those conversations will change the narrative of what the future will be like. All this hate can be channeled in a positive way to strengthen Jewish pride and commitment to Judaism. “Leadership doesn’t come in one form. Every person has a role, big or small, loud or quiet. Everyone can do something in this battle. 80% of people don’t know what to believe. Having uncomfortable conversations with non-Jews is already half the battle. “As Jews, we are a resilient people. As long as we continue being proud by succeeding and contributing to Jewish and non-Jewish society, the rest will fall into place.” https://preview.redd.it/yhsbty73j64d1.png?width=730&format=png&auto=webp&s=56281238ecd0c4ae2f8bcb008d0549fbe3327480 https://preview.redd.it/em9q5264j64d1.png?width=730&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f13b91291edfbfe5b2dcba51c1a21d26f4ca6d7 https://preview.redd.it/vf54r537j64d1.png?width=730&format=png&auto=webp&s=681689ce3eec6ede7ed5fe3b9ab164905130d743 https://preview.redd.it/sdmqasx7j64d1.png?width=730&format=png&auto=webp&s=1a0f47f5b07c719a187fe84a958c9fbd2e45ce37 https://preview.redd.it/r58r8919j64d1.png?width=730&format=png&auto=webp&s=da1cec48df440593fdd0e53f822568cc21bd4ae2 https://preview.redd.it/hj7a731aj64d1.png?width=1240&format=png&auto=webp&s=a88205e4f21a185159ccd91ffc9ba742658ba988 Tessa Veksler Stands Up to the Hate - Aish.com |

Immortal aperture
Immortal aperture are divided into four grades, low, medium, high and super grade. Each grade is defined by the size of the arear inside the blessed land, the immortal essence production and the size of the tributary of the river of time.
The spaciousness of your aperture determines the room for development inside it. The more developed an immortal aperture the more immortal essence it produces, and the more resource it produces to use, sell and trade. You will be rollling for how much space is inside your aperture.
The immortal essence production of an immortal aperture is indicative on how vigorously or often an immortal can fight and use immortal cultivation methods. Without immortal essence beads immortal Gu can't be activated, leaving the Gu immortal impotent. You will be rolling for how many immortal essence beads your aperture produces for each year that passes inside it.
The size of the tributary of time decides how much faster time passes inside your immortal aperture, compared to the five regions time (FRT). This determines how fast you pass tribulations and calamities. As an immortal at rank 6 or above, every 300 years that pass inside your aperture ascends you one rank until you reach rank 9. Meaning it takes 900 years of time inside your aperture to become rank 9. You will roll for how many times faster time flows in your aperture compared to the five regions time.
If you ascend as a time path immortal double the tributary of the river of time in your aperture
If you ascend as a space path immortal gain 50% more space in your aperture.

2024.06.02 17:40 teenytinyavocado What caused you to quit your job?
I guess this is mostly for BTs but if you're a BCBA it also would be interesting to hear. Did you quit because of the job itself? E.g. job tasks were too taxing, (data collection, protocol memorization and implementation, managing behaviors, getting hit, etc) Did you quit because of poor management? E.g. administration/supervisors did not provide support, did not value you? Etc. To put it another way, would you have stayed in the field if you had better support? Or no matter what the level of support was, the job was asking too much of you? Third reason, was your BCBA good and supportive, you enjoyed the job, but administration was poor and undervalued you/didn't respect you as a human? This field is plagued by staff turn over. My hypothesis is that more than the job itself, it's a lack of proper support and administration. In this field, and maybe in others too, you really just need the right credential to be promoted, regardless of your skill set. "Oh you have a BCBS? Great! You now have the second highest ranking position and are in charge of a team of 8 people" or in some cases, clinical director, in charge of an entire company's worth of people. The job of a BCBA isn't just behavior modification, it's team management and interpersonal skills. I think if our field did a better job training supervisors in management skills, the field could potentially see less turnover. Of course I could be wrong and maybe all the burn out is due to the difficulty of the work itself. Do let me know your thoughts, I very much love this field and love to see my clients grow and learn, even if it's at great difficulty to me, so I would love to do my little part to help reduce turnover and staff burnout so that our little field can continue to, not just grow, but thrive!

2024.06.02 17:37 Herbal_Mind Mediterranean Diet: A 23% reduction in mortality
 | In recent years, the Mediterranean diet has been hailed not just as a culinary delight but as a significant contributor to increased longevity and reduced mortality rates. As herbalists, understanding the interplay between natural food sources and health is paramount. The Mediterranean diet, rich in plant-based foods, healthy fats, and herbs, offers a compelling case study. submitted by Herbal_Mind to u/Herbal_Mind [link] [comments] Mediterranean Diet associated with a 23% reduction in mortality by DALL-E Insights from Recent ResearchResearch by Sofi et al. (2020) in the Journal of Nutrition and Health, involving over 500,000 participants, found that strict adherence to the Mediterranean diet correlates with a 23% reduction in overall mortality. This diet emphasizes high consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and notably, olive oil, with a minimal intake of red meat and processed foods.From a herbalist’s viewpoint, the diet’s strength lies in its foundation of nutrient-dense and phytochemical-rich foods. Olive oil, a staple in the Mediterranean diet, is celebrated not only for its cardiovascular benefits but also for its anti-inflammatory properties thanks to compounds like oleocanthal. The frequent use of herbs such as garlic, basil, rosemary, and oregano adds not only flavors but also compounds with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can mitigate the risk of chronic diseases. Evidence-Based BenefitsThe 2021 World Health Organization report and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2022) further support these findings, associating the diet with decreased mortality rates, particularly from heart disease and cancer. These studies demonstrate the power of dietary choices in disease prevention and health promotion, particularly as we age.The University of Athens’ research by Demopoulos et al. (2019) observed a 25% lower risk of death from all causes among Greeks who closely followed the Mediterranean dietary patterns. This reinforces the notion that natural, minimally processed foods are more beneficial for health. Adopting the Mediterranean DietFor those looking to adopt a healthier lifestyle, integrating the principles of the Mediterranean diet could be a natural first step. Start by incorporating more fruits and vegetables into meals, replacing butter with olive oil, and seasoning with herbs instead of salt. Opting for whole grains over processed options and choosing fish or poultry over red meat can also align your eating habits with this life-prolonging diet.Herbal RemediesTo complement the Mediterranean diet and maximize its life-extending benefits, an herbal formula can be designed to support overall health, focusing on cardiovascular health, anti-inflammatory properties, and antioxidant support.
ConclusionThe Mediterranean diet, illuminates the profound relationship between our diet, health, and longevity. This diet, with its rich array of plant-based foods, healthy fats, and a minimal approach to processed foods and red meat, serves as a cornerstone for a life-extending nutritional strategy. The integration of herbs into this diet not only adds depth to its flavor profile but also enhances its health benefits, thanks to the diverse array of phytochemicals and nutrients these plants provide.References:

2024.06.02 17:33 Aeriav Returning player
Hey, I came back to the game after a long break seeing that I have a freshly upgraded tr10 with 5x70 main team and additional warriors (with no equipped gear at the moment but some saved items and runes in bags) at levels 100,85,85,84,84. I'm doing pretty well at Gem Bay and doing lvl80 dark portal quite easily with my lvl70 team but arenas are taking about 10 minutes to find and are awful (happy to be in top 6 as there are people with level 100 warriors and team power about 4-5m against my 2.8m). And due to that I have several questions: 1. Should I move to tr11 as fast as I can or is there any reason to stay at tr10? 2. What arena bracket should I aim for as a short-mid time solution? Is 5x94s arena even alive (smth like 100,100,94,88,88) or should I go for 5x100s (e.g.100,100,100,100,98)? Maybe need to increase my barracks for 6 warriors? 3. What level 100 items are top priority to look for at dragon/donkey? Is rapid crossbow still meta? I've seen and got impressed by the lightning-stuning artifact, is it worth looking for? 4. I don't have equipped any totems or hero stats improved, what should I look for to get them strong and not inflate them too much? Any meta totems or something?

2024.06.02 17:24 Doom-Devilmanscaler Doomslayer scale
This 4D Doomslayer downplay is beyond ridiculous so I decided to make a scale on Doomslayer.
The Doomslayer caused a Multiverse to implode in on itself
This is significant because each Multiverse in DOOM contains infinite timelines and possibilities that expand exponentially like fractal patterns in the fabric of existence.
Fractal patterns are infinitely complexed and never-ending
Each of these universes contain their own space-time and Implicate Order
These space-times in of themselves alone would be 4D but they exist as Quantum Fields due to Hellgrowths
Quantum Fields are apart of Quantum Mechanics which are often formulated in infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space. Now Quantum Mechanics aren't always formulated in infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space. However, that's where the Implicate Order comes in.
Bohm's Implicate Order is Bohm's simplest interpretation of his Hidden Variable Interpretation both of which are meant to explain the Schrodinger equation (the base mathematical equation for all wave functions as a result from the Hilbert Space). This means that the Hilbert Space is a major part of the Implicate Order and the Holomovement in Bohm's Implicate Order endlessly folds and unfolds into infinite dimensionality
This is easily High Hyperversal at least as the Slayer destroyed this while fighting against the demons.
Now I can keep going on and on about several other feats the Slayer has but I'll jump into the biggest one and that's defeating Davoth
Davoth is the creator of the verse
This obviously includes the previously mentioned Multiverses (Mortal Realm). He also created Urdal with his effortless breath
Urdak is a higher dimensional realm
Urdak itself exists as an anchor state which utilizes highly advanced dimensional shift technology to allow static position at a sub quantum level
Urdak is a hub for this transcendent technology
Urdak is inaccessible to everyone which includes the Knight Sentinels who have complete access to space-time
Davoth also created Jekkad aka Hell which is a realm superior to Urdak
Davoth's rage corrupted Jekkad, turning it into Hell
Hell contains pan dimensionality in hierarchical layers
Pan dimensional is of or pertaining to all dimensions of reality. Or in others word, infinite dimensional.
Hell itself is unlimited by the boundaries of space, time, or dimension and is a living entity that possesses a level of sentience and it gets stronger the more pain and suffering is inflicted
Hell devours dimensions which bounds them to ruin and connects them one another by dark pathways that transcend space and time
Hell is an extention of Davoth's power
Hell is also formless
Davoth also created The Void
The Void is on the other side of reality itself and the engine of creation has to breach The Void's "walls" to touch the physical world
The Engine of Creation also spins into existence (The Physical World) and back out of existence (The Void)
This implies that The Void is beyond existence, above reality, and is non-physical
The Void exists between and around all dimensions and realms of DOOM.
Davoth stated that he was going to destroy everything
So in conclusion The Void is beyond existence, beyond reality, and is non-physical which put The Void above even Hell. And with everything I mentioned above this would put the verse at a Lowball of High Hyperversal with a mid ball of Outerversal and Davoth created it all and has the power to destroy it all and the Doomslayer defeated Davoth which scales him to the same tier. Honestly this downplay of the Slayer is just silly and I thought I'd make a quick scale on it. I didn't even show all of the scans from the entirety of the cosmology. If you want to see more scans just ask and I'll send them because there's still the cosmology from Quake which I didn't cover here.

This obviously includes the previously mentioned Multiverses (Mortal Realm). He also created Urdal with his effortless breath
Urdak is a higher dimensional realm
Urdak itself exists as an anchor state which utilizes highly advanced dimensional shift technology to allow static position at a sub quantum level
Urdak is a hub for this transcendent technology
Urdak is inaccessible to everyone which includes the Knight Sentinels who have complete access to space-time
Davoth also created Jekkad aka Hell which is a realm superior to Urdak
Davoth's rage corrupted Jekkad, turning it into Hell
Hell contains pan dimensionality in hierarchical layers
Pan dimensional is of or pertaining to all dimensions of reality. Or in others word, infinite dimensional.
Hell itself is unlimited by the boundaries of space, time, or dimension and is a living entity that possesses a level of sentience and it gets stronger the more pain and suffering is inflicted
Hell devours dimensions which bounds them to ruin and connects them one another by dark pathways that transcend space and time
Hell is an extention of Davoth's power
Hell is also formless
Davoth also created The Void
The Void is on the other side of reality itself and the engine of creation has to breach The Void's "walls" to touch the physical world
The Engine of Creation also spins into existence (The Physical World) and back out of existence (The Void)
This implies that The Void is beyond existence, above reality, and is non-physical
The Void exists between and around all dimensions and realms of DOOM.
Davoth stated that he was going to destroy everything
So in conclusion The Void is beyond existence, beyond reality, and is non-physical which put The Void above even Hell. And with everything I mentioned above this would put the verse at a Lowball of High Hyperversal with a mid ball of Outerversal and Davoth created it all and has the power to destroy it all and the Doomslayer defeated Davoth which scales him to the same tier. Honestly this downplay of the Slayer is just silly and I thought I'd make a quick scale on it. I didn't even show all of the scans from the entirety of the cosmology. If you want to see more scans just ask and I'll send them because there's still the cosmology from Quake which I didn't cover here.
2024.06.02 17:23 bpg0824 New construction property: How to determine if condos or apartments?
There's a new building that sprung up in my neighborhood (South SFV), construction is 100% complete but there is no sign of builder, developer or real estate company yet. It looks to be condominiums -- each unit is 'stacked' 3 stories, starting with a 2 car garage at street level. Is there a site or forum where I can do more research to understand the intent of the property??? i.e. apartment complex, condos, etc.

2024.06.02 17:17 punter1965 Feature suggestions: Biome Specific Rested Buff & Defeated Boss Altar Offerings
Although certainly not the most important things the Devs should be working on, I thought two new game mechanics would be interesting:
submitted by punter1965 to valheim [link] [comments]
- Biome Specific Rested Buff - An additional attribute to the rested buff that is specific to the biome you gained the buff and scales based on comfort. For instance, if you gain the rested buff in the Mistlands the radius of effect of your wisp light would increase and be scaled with your level of comfort. This might encourage players to build bases in each biome with high comfort levels.
- Defeated Boss Altar offerings - When you defeat a boss, the creatures local to the altar will leave random offerings to you that would be composed of the biome specific resources. Further, you could defeat the same boss at multiple locations to increase the offerings obtained. This would help reduce the need to gather lower tier resources and encourage further exploration to find additional altars.
2024.06.02 17:15 Negative-Purple-3112 The efficiency of the little swan
 | I did some simulation and here are the results: submitted by Negative-Purple-3112 to CatsAndSoup [link] [comments] Assuming that the player uses the focused-upgrade strategy with a 0🌟 10 ♥️ cat (i.e. only upgrade that cat's facility until it reaches maximum level and move on to more advanced facility and repeat) and logs in one time an hour to claim one hour's earning along with a fairy jar and then upgrade immediately, the swan decreases their time cost of progression by 15%. If the player collects the fairy jar every 4 minute and upgrade immediately, the swan decreases their time cost of progression by 18%. The less frequently the player upgrades their building and the better their cat is, the less effective the swan will be. If the player logs in one time every 4 hours with a 0🌟 10 ♥️ cat, then the swan decreases their time cost of progression by about 12%. The following chart illustrates the relation of the time cost (the vertical axis, in percentage) after decreased by the swan and the multiplier of the cat in consideration (the horizontal axis), in the circumstance where the player logs in one time an hour: The origin of the chart reads (1, 0.7746) For completeness, the multiplier of the cat is indicated by the following chart: https://preview.redd.it/ohdxbt5mc64d1.jpg?width=546&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=364996c491d3cba3950e47cb538345c715ead914 |

2024.06.02 17:10 PIPMaker9k Career shift advice: Jumping into PP after 19 years - Smart Move?
Hi PowerPlatform !
Hoping to get your insights and advice.
I've been working in software development in one capacity or another for 19 years and am very strongly considering specializing in Power Point for the next phase of my career (I still have a good 30 years on the workforce, working into my late 60's).
Would love to hear your advice on which path you think would be best for me, from the perspective of people who live and work in PP.
Here's a bit about me:
My next challenge:
I'm equally happy leading board meetings and analyzing the enterprise capability landscape, as I am with leading stakeholder interviews to discover needs and requirements, as I am building solutions, prototyping, and pulling up my sleeves to step in and operate processes right along with the staff to make sure I fully understand them.
I feel like I could truly take many different paths in a way that others wouldn't want to, i.e. I could just as easily be a developer, as I could be an architect, or a manager.
Which path do you think will best align with the following goals in terms of training and certification?
Goal 1 : I want to deliver high-value added solutions/projects/products that make a meaningful impact for the maximum amount of stakeholders Goal 2 : Whatever I deliver, I want to have the opportunity to convert it to a scalable solution/business/product that I can monetize (retainers, service fees, etc. -- I'm not afraid to hire people and run a team if needed) Goal 3 : If I'm going to work any given number of hours, I want to get paid as much as I possibly can for my work, whatever it is, I am confident enough to ask for a lot, and negotiate to a fair value Goal 4 : I'm happy to work on location with the companies in my geographic area, but I also want to keep my options open for remote work and for relocation to major hubs in the continental US or Europe with the type of work I do.
Looking forward to reading your input!

Here's a bit about me:
- I have associate's degrees in Management and Software Development from a top Canadian university.
- I live in Canada, the Frencher part of it. :D
- I can code, although I'm not the best developer, I have built solutions in Java, C++, C# and VBA, along with being an Excel power user
- I have beginner-to-intermediate level training on BI with Tableau
- I'm very familiar with the world of finance, especially trading and settlement, of literally anything, from crypto to currencies, to commodities, stocks, derivatives, etc.
- I have extremely highly developed soft skills and analytical thinking; I've routinely been promoted into extremely central roles due to my ability to communicate with everyone on their level, from individual contributors and entry level staff, to developers, executives, board members, vendors and regulators
- I'm usually the person in the room that will challenge the status quo and come up with a vision spanning the big picture to the nitty gritty of the solution and present options few people would consider possible
- I have gone through a lot of training, although never took the exams, including Architecting on the AWS Cloud, Intro to Azure, TOGAF, PMBOK
- I've done a bunch of automation solutions, from BASH to custom in-platform automation, a lot of Excel; my brain works in Automation :D
- Senior business analyst, working as a solutions architect at a governmental organization
- Business architect, doing process optimization and analyzing business capabilities at a major financial organization
- Interim executive director at a small non-profit aiming to boost business relations between small European nations (nominated by the founders to get the organization up and running from 0 to 1)
- Senior quality analyst at a major financial organization, specializing in the technical back-end systems for trade settlement and clearing
- Usability testing manager who built two usability testing departments from the ground up

2024.06.02 17:06 Sapphidia Craftable Weapons - which ones are worth it?
So like a lot of folk I now have the 4 Star Craftable Weapon selector from the Tiger Maw Mine quest line... along with a couple of boss drops to also let me craft one of the five weapons directly too.
In general it feels like the craftables are fairly bad compared to other 4 star weapons but might have some specific uses. I wanted to ask peoples' opinions on which are trash and which are decent for certain characters.
Gauntlets#21D - These seem made for Jianxin. Guides list Stonard as a bit better but given Jian can be a good subdps/support I'm thinking the Energy Regen may work in its favor. It all depends on how good the special effect is. Question for anyone who is using them on her - exactly WHAT counts as a "Counterattack" for the 50-100% damage boost? Dodge counters? Her "E" skill, and if so, both forms or only the increased damage one? What about the parries from her basic/heavies?
Broadblade#41 - This currently looks trash for all broadblade users, especially given you can get a Dauntless free in the overworld for Taoqi, the only broadblader who might be built supporty. This feels like a "never build" unless you're desperately unlucky with Calc/Jiyan?
Pistols#26 - This also looks pretty generic as an option for all three current pistol users if none of the other 4 stars have dropped. All three of the current ATK 4stars seem very similar in power level, so this may be the better option to make rather than waste the Battlepass Selector on a Thunderbolt.
Rectifier#25 - Basically Variation but with an ATK buff instead of bonus concerto. Guides imply the blue Energy Regen rectifier is slightly better for pure support, but may be some value in the craftable for Verina alone if you favor having her on the field a few seconds longer for a small boosted effect. Seems a bit of a waste overall though and definitely pointless for Baizhi or any of the dps casters?
Sword#18 - This looks basically trash with one exception - Danjin, who has a high proportion of heavy attack damage which would happen precisely when her health is low and take full advantage of the buff. Obviously not as good as the 5 star but despite guides rating Commando and Lumingloss a bit higher, the fact you can get this one "reasonably" easily to S5 as an F2P, coupled with how many Sword users there are, makes me think this one is a no brainer choice for anyone using Danjin who doesn't expect to be giving her the 5-star from the selector.
Honestly it feels like right now these are designed as catch-up weapons for players to pick one to fill a hole in bad luck in the gacha rather than any being a must have, though if you're a Jianxin or Danjin enjoyer the Fists and Sword do look appealing from a fun factor if nothing else.
Is there anything in the above summary I've missed? My gut feeling says the below:
Can anyone confirm just how much the fist weapon proc affects the various parts of Jianxin's kit? If it barely affects anything then that would likely lower their usefulness a large amount.

Is there anything in the above summary I've missed? My gut feeling says the below:
- If you own Danjin and also play RoveSanhua (so they'd use the 5 star) then get the Sword.
- If you play Jianxin and don't intend on picking Stonard from the BP Selector, get the Gauntlet.
- Otherwise get the Pistol if you've had bad luck with pistols, or the Rectifier if you play Verina and don't have a Variation.

2024.06.02 17:05 MeMyselfIandMeAgain How much math is there is the field?
Hey everyone so I'm a high school student who just finished 10th grade and really like math (haven't taken a real proof-based class yet but I took up to calc 3 and linear algebra and I'm currently self-studying diffeqs over the summer) and I also really enjoyed what I did this year in AP Chem, to the point that I'm considering pursuing chemistry in college! And so obviously computational chem sounds like a match given the overlap (i'm also quite interested in coding, i have done some projects, taken AP CSA, and I am gold-tier in the USACO olympiad) but it seems like nowadays most of the math is done by computers, which makes sense, but I really enjoy quantum mechanics and the math behind it, so I was wondering, for research in comp chem, how much math do y'all do? Like QM is a lot of linear algebra and PDEs, fields that I LOVE! but maybe now in most comp chem research it's more just program and you don't do that much math?
so I'd love to know your experience!
and, in case it's not very math-y anymore, recommendations for fields that have more overlap between math and chem. like I looked into the journal of mathematical chemistry and found it super interesting but it doesn't look like it's a very active field apart from that. and standard theoretical chemistry is cool but it doesn't seem THAT mathematical like there doesn't seem like there is much past multivariable calc stuff... not a huge fan of physics (at least at the level of like classical mechanics and e&m) but do I have no other choice than to look into physics?
