2024.05.19 22:18 VenexCon Starting a workplace safety consultation service. Is there a requirement?

Hey guys,
I currently work as a workplace safety consultant for a large geo-environmental engineering firm and wish to dip my toe in the world of small business, I originally looked at changing career, but the tech market took a massive dive and here I am.
I had an initial idea, that came to me when I was just starting out, and the idea is that there are a lot of SME's that perhaps don't have the resource (financial, need, risk) for a full-time workplace safety professional, but would benefit from tailored advice for a specific set of circumstances.
My idea was to create a website with bookable meeting slots (landing page + Calendly) at 30 or 60 minute intervals with a price range of $30-60 respectively. This would not be to turn this into a consultancy or upsell, this would be purely for me to make some side cash and get some exposure.
To outline a few scenarios;
  1. Opening a food truck. Food safety, compliance, paperwork, machinery safety etc
  2. Car detailing. Chemical safety, storage of chemicals and hazardous materials, fumes, vapours, musculoskeletal exercises and risks.
  3. Coffee shop. Complaints, insurance questions, customer safety, fire and legionella awareness.
  4. Those working alone, perhaps singular HSE professionals that would like to bounce ideas around confidentially or are looking for a sounding board (hence the name).
  5. Accident Investigation assistance and preventative measures help.
These are just a few potential scenarios, and the advice given would heavily be asterisked with the information being able to be given on the call. I would then have GDPR policies, T&C's etc that would ensure data privacy and confidentiality.
Would anyone be interested in this? Do you feel it would be useful, beneficial to you or your business?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

2024.05.19 22:15 levinikee Duplicate sheet tabs with new name and copy protected cells

Hi! I'm helping someone set up a rudimentary inventory sheet for a new pop-up stall.
We want to duplicate a template sheet with protected ranges carried over, and we found this script that works wonderfully:
function copyWithProtections(){ const sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); const ss = sh.getSheetByName("Template"); const prot = ss.getProtections(SpreadsheetApp.ProtectionType.RANGE) let nSheet = ss.copyTo(sh).setName(sh.getNumSheets()-1); let p; for (let i in prot){ p = nSheet.getRange(prot[i].getRange().getA1Notation()).protect(); p.removeEditors(p.getEditors()); if (p.canDomainEdit()) { p.setDomainEdit(false); } } } 
Now we want to automate the duplication process, creating sheets with names "01AM", "01PM", "02AM"... "31PM"
Basically 1 sheet tab per half a day, everyday for a whole month.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

2024.05.19 22:15 behemothsloth [5e][Online][Weeky][Thursday 7 PM CST][LGBT+ Friendly] Looking for 1 person for Curse of Strahd! 21+

Hello! My name is Zeffphur and I am looking for 1 for Curse of Strahd. We have 5 players already but we are looking to have a total of 6. Current comp is a Gnome Druid, Elf Monk, Elf Shadow Sorcerer, Goliath Grave Cleric and a Tiefling Fighter. We will use discord for audio and roll20 for maps. Character sheets will be kept on Beyond where I have content sharing on. Please be 21+ for the sake of keeping ages in the same range.
Story: Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came—all according to his plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited.
Nitty-gritty character info: You’ll start at level 1. Roll 4d6 drop the lowest. Assign as you wish. Roll 2 arrays and pick the one you want. You cannot pick and choose from either array. Its one or the other. If the score for the stat is lower than 8 you can reroll, if you want to keep it that's fine too. So as far as classes that are allowed, I allow any official class/subclass outside of Artificer and Blood Hunter. PHB Races plus Legacy Goliath for races. And for my own sanity, do not suggest an overly goth character. Suggest a normal adventurer that just happens to get sucked into Barovia.
Please fill out the attached form, saves me the trouble of asking everyone the same questions then having to search for the answers. This way they are all in one place and easier on me. I will be taking my time in finding the right person. We will be talking in a call to the answers we like the best, so put some thought when filling it out. Add me on Discord (zeffphur) if you have any questions, or just message me on here.

2024.05.19 22:14 NoOtherNameOptions Needing some help naming Green Dragon Twins

I've been working on a pair of Green dragon sisters but I cannot for the life of me come up with a name that feels right.
The pair of sisters originally looked virtually identical save for the slight difference in their base hue, with the older of the two being a deeper green. Their relationship for much of their youth was rather strained as one might expect of dragons but they did ultimately look out for one another. later in life they would be engaged in a territorial dispute with a far older ancient black dragon. During this confrontation the older of the two sisters would use her body as a shield, protecting her sister from the black dragon's acidic breath but leaving her horribly scared in the process. This resulted in her going blind in her right eye, as well as having her once beautiful scale scarred deeply. Following the incident the two have largely been inseparable and have been plotting to find a way to get their revenge on the ancient black dragon.
I'm modeling their designs after rough scaled bush vipers (I think that's the correct name) like the image below if that helps with ideas.

2024.05.19 22:10 Derekg15 GME + Teddy = Only Up

GME + Teddy = Only Up
I initially tried to post this on SS but automod removed due to mention of baby stock, not sure if allowed here either, but hopefully it is ok since the main focus of my post is GME, here goes. Apologies in advance, I'm a babbling ape and I don't really know how to write speculative DD, but I wanted to share. Now I don't want to take credit for this because everything I've learned I've found from what others have shared recently and in the past, but I will provide links. I wanted to share it with y'all since I haven't seen anything about it on Reddit yet and I'd like to provide some additional context and input I have as well.
First some background. I've been in this play for over 3.5 years I've read more DD on this play than probably anything else I've read in my life. Bear with me as I've never wrote a DD so this is probably very sloppy and almost certainly just as dumb. Last night I couldn't sleep, I was scouring X and Reddit looking for some hopium and/or juicy DD to inject straight into my veins after seeing so many good theories throughout the week, the freshest in my mind was the resurrection/acquisition of baby stock. Now let me note here, I remember the big hoopla about baby stock 2 years ago or whatever it was, I never paid it too much attention because I just never had any evidence or anything really pointing me to believe that it was directly or indirectly related with my GME investment. Even as recently as yesterday seeing all the talks about acquisition of baby, I was thinking "yeah, so what?" Sure we could acquire baby, but what does that do for the long-term health of my favorite company and/or what does that do for the short-term likelihood of the biggest short squeeze the world has ever seen? I was feening for something fresh or new that could hopefully help me answer one or both of these questions so I kept scrolling when I stumbled across this post on X. I will also transcribe it below:
"...Ignore stock price. Look at company valuation. BBY is double the valuation of GME. Rite Aid is double BBY, but I am ignoring Rite Aid in this post. So in a merger between BBY and GME you would get a valuation of 2:1. We don't know how many BBY shares actually exist, it could be as low as 90M and GME has 304M. BBY is worth twice as much as a company. So doing the math we would get a 7:1 ratio. Where 7 GME = 1 BBY.
How do you squeeze the system to death? Take a bankrupt stock that is naked shorted by billions of shares. Remove it from the DTC where it can no longer naked short it. Create a holding company from the shell of BBY, Teddy. Teddy then acquires all the cellar boxed companies and places all of those companies into a UNIT.
BBY emerges from bankruptcy as Teddy and it can't be naked shorted as it emerges on a blockchain, tzero.
Teddy acquires GME. GME shorts have to deliver 7 GME shares for 1 share of Teddy, but Teddy contains multiple shorted stocks.
Now the shorts have to buy 7 GME shares to be able to deliver 1 share of Teddy. The issue for the shorts? Neither BBY or GME holders want to sell.
Do you see it yet?
Infinite squeeze. Just up."
After reading this, I'm thinking ok that's great I'm actually pretty stoked now, but are we really going to the blockchain? Is that really something that's in the cards here? Idk just sounds so outlandish and crazy to be the first major company to really make that jump and on top of that how is that even possible to do?? I dismissed it mostly and just kept it in the back of my mind as I continued to scroll.
Then I stumbled into something else that someone else figured out 3 years ago!!! But it wasn't until now with the whole baby thing that I could actually see it coming together. I was sharing GME knowledge with a buddy last night and he asked me something about 741 and I couldn't remember its exact origin, so I looked it up on SS search, which lead me to a post from 2 years ago asking the same question How did 741 come to be? This refreshed my memory and I scrolled through some comments where someone had linked another DD from 3 years ago as well that somehow I had never read. The only reason I noticed it was because the comment linking the DD had a response comment on it from just 3 days ago saying "Little did you know how important this comment will be!", this piqued my curiosity enough to open that DD and see exactly what it was.
This is a MASSIVE DD, I'll break down what I got from it and why it mattered to me and link it for anyone who wants to read the whole thing (you should 100% read the whole thing) A Castle of Glass - Game On, Anon. This DD goes from explaining how the whole market is shorted through ETFs and that our entire market is fraudulent, which we kind of already knew, but then he goes into his little tin foily theory of how "game on, anon" the popular quote from GMEs late nft website and in the source code on the Ethereum contracts is related to the Index Cooperative which can be thought about essentially as the new blockchain stock market. Here's exactly how the author broke it down:
  1. At the very top, you have the largest basket: the Index Cooperative (think of this as the new blockchain stock market)
  2. Within this large basket, you have multiple medium-sized baskets: The Metaverse Index, Defi-Pulse index, etc. (Think of this like the SP.Y)
  3. And within individual medium-sized baskets, you’ve got NFT’s (think a jet-fueled gaming company ran by a fuckin 69D chess master)
All of this appears to be already discussed heavily in other communities and folks that have a knowledge of defi and metaverse stuff which I have little to no knowledge of. I'll be honest with you, I kind of threw all this stuff to the wayside after it seemed that the NFT marketplace was a failure, but now in reality I don't think it was a failure, I think GME/loopring was just building the framework for what they knew way back then was the solution to our problem. Remember when Gamestop added to their filing and went through all the proper steps that ensured they had the right to issue and hold securities? Remember when we were talking about GME being a bank and all kinds of crazy other stuff that never came to fruition?...or so we thought. Well now all that makes more sense if you ask me. These weren't failures, these weren't nothing burgers, these were articulate preparatory steps.
From GMEs most recent filings:
"The Depository Trust Company is expected to serve as depository. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual securities represented thereby, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depository for the global security to a nominee of such depository or by a nominee of such depository to such depository or another nominee of such depository or by the depository or any nominee of such depository to a successor depository or a nominee of such successor. Global securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a class or series of securities that differ from the terms described here will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement."
"If a depository for a series of securities is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue individual securities of such series in exchange for the global security representing such series of securities. In addition, we may, at any time and in our sole discretion, subject to any limitations described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to such securities, determine not to have any securities of such series represented by one or more global securities and, in such event, will issue individual securities of such series in exchange for the global security or securities representing such series of securities."

Long story short, many things GME has been doing all of these years that have come and gone and theories and/or business ideas/strategies many of which I had completely dismissed I don't think were necessarily wrong, but we were just too early in the process and too far away from the finish line for me personally to truly understand their purpose or how they fit into the overall plan.
https://preview.redd.it/m6vy773evf1d1.png?width=903&format=png&auto=webp&s=0258dd63f079cf97d72d359ea1eebdb129accd75
TLDR: Reading each of these posts from 2 other great contributors to this saga shored up a lot of gaps for me that I was struggling with for answers and actually shored up some things that I had completely forgotten about as well.
  1. How and why is baby stock involved and how does it affect GME? Answer: this post
  2. If we truly are moving the stock to a block chain due to a short squeeze and/or to rid our beloved company of the parasitic shorts, how is it possible and how is it done legally? Answer: Teddy, a holdings company, completely forgot about Teddy already, but of course RC was 10 steps ahead with that.
  3. How can RoaringKitty be so confident in his latest memes and not think Wall St will continue to screw us as they have for years? Answer: You leave Wall St and take all the shares to the block chain as described in part 3 of this terrific DD from 3 years ago.
Anyways, these are my findings through others great DD new and old. I just wanted to share with others as I hadn't seen a lot of it talked about here and how these two posts made a lot of things click for me. Maybe you guys already knew this stuff and I'm just dumb ape, or maybe it will be helpful for you as well. Please provide critiques, corrections, and anything else you'd like to add! Probably not enough pictures, but hopefully it makes sense. Cheers.

2024.05.19 22:09 Dead4Mann [Re-Intro] Max Macallister - All the Chickens I've met like Bach

General Info:

Favorite Things:

Appearance:

Faceclaim Height Weight Body Type Eyes
FC 6’ 1” 174 lbs Lean and muscled, Max developed himself through hunting and routine training at camp along with a few dozen near death experiences. Stormy grey, look almost pitch black under darker light.

Powers (Modmailed):

Domain Powers
Power Description
Greater Lordship: Birds, Wind and Storm Spirits Ever since he was young, Max lived in the woods with his Aunt and had no friends whatsoever. He was nearly completely isolated. That being said, his nature as a son of the king of the sky has given him the ability to speak to and control birds and wind or storm spirits. He's still trying to work on his authority with this power though wind spirits and birds do what he wants most of the time.
Wind/Air Manipulation Having used this ability to accidentally destroy a cabin at camp and maybe cripple a boy, Max doesn't underestimate this ability and has been trying to practice controlling it.
Travel of the Elder Gods Having the ability to travel distances with a lightning strike, Max is in the process of training with this power in hopes of using it to visit his aunt one day. His control has improved in spades since he first discovered it, however.
Minor Powers
Power Description
Electrical Resistance Despite Max never needing it so far in his life, he is resistant to electricity to a certain degree.
Electricity Manipulation The ability to call down two lightning bolts per day, Max has gotten more used to this ability since its discovery.
Double Jump Max has always felt more mobile when using his air manipulation though he never knew it was a separate ability.
Major Power
Power Description
Bird's Eye View Shortly after Max was forced to leave for camp, he discovered his ability to see through the eyes of birds. He can do this with any bird and has gained a few different birds he can do this with during his past year at camp. While he is using this ability, he is immobilized. Being a vital part of his arsenal, Max is much better at using it in battle though his mastery still has room to improve.

Equipment:

Item Description
Featherweight A bow made for Max by Barry Callahan. The bow is a simple thing, carved of birch wood. The white and grey bark looks like a rolling storm as it cascades down the wood. The bowstring is reinforced by two celestial bronze gears, made to help the archer pull the bow back and sustain that draw for longer. There are bronze carvings on the gears, the eagles being a nice touch on the metal for a simple design. A sight unfolds from the middle of the bow, folding down into place. The crosshairs in the sight are lightning bolts, meeting at a point, but the circumference of the sight is decorated like a weathervane.
Fraterculus A celestial bronze xiphos that used to belong to Matt, before he gave it to Max for his first quest.
Tactical Spear A celestial bronze tactical spear that originally belonged to his mom as a present from Zeus. It can change form into a pocket watch.
Custom Arrows His collection of ammunition for his bow, including celestial bronze tipped arrows, some broadheads he found in the camp armory, and some trick arrows, including flash-bang arrows and net arrows.
Bead Necklace 2037 As a symbol of his past year at camp, Max was given a bead thanks to it being the end of the year. Beads so far:
Banging Beats Player A stylized iPod Nano that when used to play music, lets out a high pitch screech that stuns those in hearing range. (1 combat turn stun at 5 meters, Loss of hearing at 10 meters, and Buzzing noise at 20 meters)
Amazon Catalogue The Amazon Catalogue is a small digital tablet that can access the Amazon family of products (Prime, Kindle, etc.) and the store with free shipping, without triggering a monster's scent, and without need for a constant internet connection. The tablet still requires charge (Type-C). It is as sturdy as a standard Amazon Kindle. An occasional connection to an Internet or Ethernet source is required to ensure system interfacing (at least once a week). Although subscription fees are waived through the host account on this device, the user is still required for any additional costs.
Companion Egg A large, glowing silvery egg. It is said to be able to hatch into a new companion for Max. It is unclear what kind of companion the egg will produce, but Max has been taking care to keep it safe and warm.

Friends:

Name Relationship
Simon A gyrfalcon that saved Max from the monster that destroyed his home. Simon was uncannily intelligent when it comes to bird standards. After finding a piece of a map that pointed to the Camp, Simon helped him make it there without dying. The three month journey strengthened their bond tenfold.
Mathew Knight A son of Hades, Matt is Max's cousin and adopted (not legally) brother who he treasures greatly. Despite the son of Hades' ability to protect himself, Max would still do his best to protect him in any given situation. Basically, hurt him and prepare for immediate avian bombardment.
Austin Reynolds As a son of Eros, for Max, Austin was easy to love. Too easy in fact, to the point where Max started loosing himself which led to them breaking up. Now Max's ex-boyfriend, Austin remains a friend if not as close as before.
Lupa Hines Being one of the few people to know about Max's fear of waters, Lupa quickly became someone who Max trusted. Her help as Mediator made facing his fear a little more approachable and a lot less panic attack inducing.
Tori A bluejay Max made friends with over the past year, Tori is the 'kind but stern' to Simon's sarcasm and joking.

Family:

Member Name Age Relationship
Father Zeus Immortal After the battle against the residents of the labyrinth and the forces of Nemesis, Max had a chance to speak to Zeus, though he spoke through a holographic eagle. Max's opinion of his father is positive though not affectionate enough to be called a familial bond.
Mother Mary Macallister 36 While speaking with Max, his father, Zeus, showed him an image of his mother and explained that she wasn't the kind of woman to abandon her child when he'd left.
Aunt Lillian Macallister Missing Since she took him in at the age of 3, Max's aunt became like a mother to him and taught him to hunt. She also gifted him his crossbow and the celestial bronze bolts that Zeus had supposedly given his mother before she passed it on to his aunt. He recently discovered that she's still alive.
Half-Sibling Tristan Macmillan 21 Max's opinion of his veteran half-brother is much higher than most would assume. Despite his half-brother's being more withdrawn by nature, Max still looks up to him as an example of what a child of Zeus should be.

Personality:

Max isn't the most social kid on the block by any means but he has definitely begun to be more outgoing, or at least he's tried to be. He tries to approach people but isn't very well verse in the art of conversation and might come off insensitive or clueless from time to time.
Despite all of this, there remains one permanent aspect to Max's personality which was marked upon him while growing up. During his childhood, Max read stories about what families should be like and the discovery of his mother abandoning him paired with his Aunt's disappearance have made him near overprotective of those he calls family.

History:

The past two years at camp had been what Max would call the best time of his life, case in point, making friends that weren't of the avian persuasion, having a boyfriend for a time, pseudo-adopting a child of the God of Death as his little brother (He's just the cutest little guy), almost dying multiple times, going on two quests, and generally learning how to be a functional human being (He was still working on that last one).
Still, the time at camp had changed him, mostly for the better but he knew he couldn't stay at camp forever. That being said, the place was home. His family was here and he'd be damned if he let himself lose sight of that. He'd left camp shortly after his second quest. It had given him things to think about and work through but now he was back.
Plus, traveling around for a few months just hunting monsters by rumor or through the avian grapevine had been fun. It gave him a look at what the future could hold for him, at least for a little while after camp.
Present Day:
Sitting atop Cabin 1, Max watched the sun pull itself over the horizon with a stupid grin on his face. He wasn't sure why he was in a good mood today but he never did when these moods came over him. He just liked to enjoy them as they came and went. With a huff, he slid off the side of the cabin roof and cushioned the fall with a thought.
Stretching, the black-haired young man looked up. Maybe his dad was watching... or maybe not. It didn't really matter. Max knew he cared and wether or not he watched at any given moment didn't matter. Hmm... Would practicing his lightning-jumps be a bad idea this early in the morning? Yes, almost definitely. Would Max be doing it anyways? Yup! He needed to get his rebellious teenage years out since he'd skipped that whole phase and he'd started doing so little by little. Who knew? Maybe Max would end up a responsible and serious young man if he did it enough (Doubtful but peripherally possible, if not highly unlikely).
So he grinned and with a thunderclap and a blinding lightning bolt, he went from standing next to the Zeus Cabin, to standing at the edge of the Strawberry Fields. What a wonderful day.

2024.05.19 22:08 Darkime_ Searching ideas for my card game

Yo, i'm Darkime and i'm trying, as most of you i imagine, to become a indie gamedev, after a substancial amount of time i've chosen to start with a silly card game, the problem is, i'm running out of ideas to make the cards, so, i need help to make cards for my game, the idea is for the game to be funny/silly so the cards should be puns, memes, references and such, with only names it's fine, but if you wish to give it an ability, or something else, you can
I'll put whoever made the card in the description of said card
For example, two of the card concepts that i made are "Doctor Casa", which is a reference to Dr. House, and "Fartron", which is a robot that farts
The idea is for the game to be dumb and funny
Thanks in advance

2024.05.19 22:07 g3thic [F4A][Literate] Jujutsu Kaisen: the Roleplay!

Hello again! I’m not sure if you've read or seen my other posts about roleplays but this one will purely be about Jujutsu Kaisen!
INTRODUCTION
My name is Hina. To know more about me, I was born and raised in Japan and I have been an avid writer ever since I moved to the States when I was 11. My second language is English but I believe it’s been pretty good these days. I recently turned 22 years old and I'm female. Talking about age, I would be comfortable with you being 17+ and preferably at least 20. Roleplaying with minors isn’t a big thing for me, I apologize. I’m in the west coast, PST timezone. Let’s see.. What other information can I give you? I would say I enjoy skating, basketball, watching tv shows and anime, and reading. My favorite anime is Nana and Death Note.
ROLEPLAY
For what i’m looking for, i’d have to say basically anything in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. Perhaps something done in the Shibuya Arc, or even the Culling Games Arc where are our characters are participating. Or maybe something entirely different. I think it would be cool if our characters were strong on their own and everything was set up in the Culling Games Arc, them having to maybe ally or something. But we can also have it be basically them fighting together to make themselves stronger and then fight new enemies as well. I’m down for ideas!
I’m also down for a Modern AU roleplay with the original characters. Maybe an OC x CC or CC x CC in that case!
CHARACTERS
I tend to use character sheets to describe my character, these usually consist of names, background, and personality. More so on appearances, I prefer using animated or drawn references than real life people. I enjoy good enough references where I get the idea of how the character would look like.
The types of characters I write are either the lone wolf type that has some sad past which leads them to want to join someone for a redemption arc or the bubbly character who is the one that brings the mood up and is usually seen as trustworthy and of that kind.
I like all types of tropes, especially enemies to lovers or rivalry. I also really enjoy opposites attract as a whole from either opposite personality or something else they would be opposites in. Enemies to lovers takes my heart, though. I love seeing the characters go past the urge to ultimately hate each other and/or go past their usual way of disliking the others lineage or upcoming.
REQUIREMENT
I think this is my last paragraph on the roleplay. It’s the most important, at least. Requirements. All roleplay searches come with them. Or at least that’s what I heard! But don’t fret, there isn’t much.
I’ve seen this as one of the most used requirements, and I agree with it. As someone who’s first language wasn’t English, I understand that you may not be great at it. But please, I do require a partner that at least has proper use of grammar and punctuation. You don’t even have to use big words or anything, just at least know where to put your periods and the placement of your words.
My second requirement is for you to be LITERATE! Please. I’m a big writer, I tend to ramble on and tend to write more than what I thought I would. (like i’m doing right now) I write multiple paragraphs from the starter until the scene relaxes. I also understand that sometimes writing big blocks of words every response is tiring or boring so I don’t expect it all the time, at least after the starter has been made and in more important scenes. Dialogue also cuts my replies shorter.
Please please please be polite in OOC! We may just be role playing together but kindness goes all ways. If we do include OOC, I enjoy talking about many things. My day, movies, games, funny moments and stories, all of that!
I think that’s the end to this wonderful journey of an ad about my search. I hope you are still here, fellow writer! I would LOVE it if you reached out to me! This wasn’t all for nothing, right!
But don’t leave yet! I do have a passcode. I know this was a jumble of words and rambling but I still have to put one in. I heard that there’s a lot of people on here that don’t read things fully and miss out on rules or information! But.. Just because you read through this all, I’ll gladly give you options on the passcode! Also please put in an introduction of yourself! Don’t think “Oh maybe I shouldn’t bother this person with too much to read”! I like seeing big blocks.
PASSCODE:
What’s your dream country to travel to and why?
OR
Who’s your favorite TV show / Cartoon / Game / Anime character?

2024.05.19 22:07 Significant-Steak111 Questions about Body Movements

A brief intro: Started doing meditation a year ago. I used to meditate for 30-45 minutes daily until now it’s been a week that I have stopped. And in my path I had many experiences such as twitches, body shakes( I guess the name is kriyas), sensing energy and some more alike.
So it’s been days since I didn’t meditate due to some other reasons but I am still getting the after effects of meditation. While meditating, my whole body used to shake( my hands, neck , legs everything ) Sometimes I could even feel my veins in my head. Well, right now whenever I am relaxing myself which is most often on the bed I feel my legs to be moving and the more I concentrate on it the more it would take over my body this can make me even jump from my bed. It just keeps getting intense. As I bring back my attention to something else it just stops. Anyone has an idea of the cause of it? This isn’t making so much sense to me. I’ve been having this a lot of time now.

2024.05.19 22:07 g3thic [F4A][Literate] Jujutsu Kaisen: the Roleplay!

Hello again! I’m not sure if you've read or seen my other posts about roleplays but this one will purely be about Jujutsu Kaisen!
INTRODUCTION
My name is Hina. To know more about me, I was born and raised in Japan and I have been an avid writer ever since I moved to the States when I was 11. My second language is English but I believe it’s been pretty good these days. I recently turned 22 years old and I'm female. Talking about age, I would be comfortable with you being 17+ and preferably at least 20. Roleplaying with minors isn’t a big thing for me, I apologize. I’m in the west coast, PST timezone. Let’s see.. What other information can I give you? I would say I enjoy skating, basketball, watching tv shows and anime, and reading. My favorite anime is Nana and Death Note.
ROLEPLAY
For what i’m looking for, i’d have to say basically anything in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. Perhaps something done in the Shibuya Arc, or even the Culling Games Arc where are our characters are participating. Or maybe something entirely different. I think it would be cool if our characters were strong on their own and everything was set up in the Culling Games Arc, them having to maybe ally or something. But we can also have it be basically them fighting together to make themselves stronger and then fight new enemies as well. I’m down for ideas!
I’m also down for a Modern AU roleplay with the original characters. Maybe an OC x CC or CC x CC in that case!
CHARACTERS
I tend to use character sheets to describe my character, these usually consist of names, background, and personality. More so on appearances, I prefer using animated or drawn references than real life people. I enjoy good enough references where I get the idea of how the character would look like.
The types of characters I write are either the lone wolf type that has some sad past which leads them to want to join someone for a redemption arc or the bubbly character who is the one that brings the mood up and is usually seen as trustworthy and of that kind.
I like all types of tropes, especially enemies to lovers or rivalry. I also really enjoy opposites attract as a whole from either opposite personality or something else they would be opposites in. Enemies to lovers takes my heart, though. I love seeing the characters go past the urge to ultimately hate each other and/or go past their usual way of disliking the others lineage or upcoming.
REQUIREMENT
I think this is my last paragraph on the roleplay. It’s the most important, at least. Requirements. All roleplay searches come with them. Or at least that’s what I heard! But don’t fret, there isn’t much.
I’ve seen this as one of the most used requirements, and I agree with it. As someone who’s first language wasn’t English, I understand that you may not be great at it. But please, I do require a partner that at least has proper use of grammar and punctuation. You don’t even have to use big words or anything, just at least know where to put your periods and the placement of your words.
My second requirement is for you to be LITERATE! Please. I’m a big writer, I tend to ramble on and tend to write more than what I thought I would. (like i’m doing right now) I write multiple paragraphs from the starter until the scene relaxes. I also understand that sometimes writing big blocks of words every response is tiring or boring so I don’t expect it all the time, at least after the starter has been made and in more important scenes. Dialogue also cuts my replies shorter.
Please please please be polite in OOC! We may just be role playing together but kindness goes all ways. If we do include OOC, I enjoy talking about many things. My day, movies, games, funny moments and stories, all of that!
I think that’s the end to this wonderful journey of an ad about my search. I hope you are still here, fellow writer! I would LOVE it if you reached out to me! This wasn’t all for nothing, right!
But don’t leave yet! I do have a passcode. I know this was a jumble of words and rambling but I still have to put one in. I heard that there’s a lot of people on here that don’t read things fully and miss out on rules or information! But.. Just because you read through this all, I’ll gladly give you options on the passcode! Also please put in an introduction of yourself! Don’t think “Oh maybe I shouldn’t bother this person with too much to read”! I like seeing big blocks.
PASSCODE:
What’s your dream country to travel to and why?
OR
Who’s your favorite TV show / Cartoon / Game / Anime character?
Feel free to pick both! Now, that’s all from me. Please don’t put your request as just “Wanna rp”!

2024.05.19 22:07 LittleMouseHat Need some advice about a boy

I (21NB) have been talking to this guy (26M) for about two and a half weeks. We met at a show in my hometown (he was the guitarist for the opening band) and pretty much immediately hit it off. He stood so close to me his hair was brushing up against the side of my head and he got so excited talking about guitars I couldn't help but immediately develop a crush on him (I'm a guitarist too). We talked for a bit, I went back and watched the headliner perform, and then when I ran into him later, he gave me the guitar pick he'd performed with that night and called me by name.
I pretty much immediately left afterwards, super nervous and giddy about the whole thing, and a few hours later ended up finding his band (and by extent, him) on social media. As soon as I followed him (literally less than a minute is not an exaggeration) he followed me back and sent me a text telling me to have a good night and that it was great talking to me. He even spelled my unusual name correctly, which means he looked at my page.
We've been chatting for a few weeks. He asks me about myself, seems really happy to talk to me, and sends me videos of his band sometimes. He's talked about what he does for work, the music he listens to, etc. I know him way better than I ever expected to. It takes him a while to respond (he's got a lot going on), but he texts me at least once a day and sends me lots of :) and :0 emojis. Lots of omggggggs and lolllllls. He also seems to be interested in my hobbies and what I'm up to, even asking me to send him pictures of my art and helping me with my guitar playing.
But... there's kind of a big problem. He's in a completely different state from me. At least a two hour flight. And, yeah... I'm lucky enough to have flight benefits so I could feasibly see him if I wanted to, but I've also never been in a relationship. He definitely seems more comfortable talking to me than before, even sometimes bringing up stuff that could easily lead to more personal, private topics, but I've been kind of nervous to get into that stuff I guess.
I'm about 95% certain based on context clues that he's single, and it really seemed like he was interested in me at the show, but I just don't know how much I should let myself get invested in this. I also have no frame of reference to determine if he's even interested in me or if he just wants to be my friend because I've never been IN a relationship before.
The more I talk to him, the more I like him. He's really cute, he works with kids and he's genuinely just one of the sweetest, silliest people I've ever known. I'm REALLY, really starting to fall for this guy, and I'm just not sure how well I'd be able to handle another rejection if/when it comes to that.
I had some really traumatic shit happen to me last year involving me being SAed by a coworker who I had developed feelings for, and who did everything in his power to ruin my life after getting me to trust him. This has led me to be super cautious and I have some trust issues that developed as a result.
I just don't know what to do. Everyone keeps telling me to just enjoy it, but I just want so badly to know how he feels and I just don't really know what to do. I'd love to see him again but I don't know how I would bring that up without seeming too forward. I don't know what kind of timeline to expect either-- like, at what point would it be okay to ask to video chat? At what point could I bring up visiting him? How would I even go about presenting the idea of being in a relationship with this guy? I'm so lost.

2024.05.19 22:05 NoOtherNameOptions Help with names for Adult Green Dragon Twins

I've been working on a pair of Green dragon sisters but I cannot for the life of me come up with a name that feels right.
The pair of sisters originally looked virtually identical save for the slight difference in their base hue, with the older of the two being a deeper green. Their relationship for much of their youth was rather strained as one might expect of dragons but they did ultimately look out for one another. later in life they would be engaged in a territorial dispute with a far older ancient black dragon. During this confrontation the older of the two sisters would use her body as a shield, protecting her sister from the black dragon's breath attack but leaving her horribly scared in the process. This resulted in her going blind in her right eye, as well as having her once beautiful scale scarred deeply. Following the incident the two have largely been inseparable and have been plotting to find a way to get their revenge on the ancient black dragon.
I'm modeling their designs after rough scaled bush vipers (I think that's the correct name) like the image below if that helps with ideas.

2024.05.19 22:03 zandr0615 Going over Setting Ideas for a fantasy series about Cursed Books

Hey guys. After taking a slight break between certain projects, I had a couple setting ideas for one major project idea that I've been developing and thought I might trouble shoot to see what would be more enticing for a fantasy series in your minds. The working title for this project is called 'The Tomes of Balok'- which centers around a scarred young hero named Silas, the last surviving member of a clan of apostates who travels across an overly zealous kingdom to find and destroy a set of cursed spellbooks which are said to hold the key to the power of the kingdom's magical tyrant Balok. Although I plan to introduce a dynamic set of characters in this story, I'm a bit torn on the setting that I want to go for, whether it be traditional fantasy, gothic fantasy, or even weird west. Though I do have a few prompts that I also wanted to share for the direction this could all go.
· To list a few ideas:
  1. The Tomes contain the powers of the captured evil Gods of his world, each of which give the wielder incredible magical power, but drive them to insanity. One such Tome was wielded by a member of Silas’ clan, which lead to him enslaving and killing everyone around them until Silas miraculously ended him. Thus, his quest becomes a personal vendetta against Balok and his control of the Gods, as well as ensuring nobody can ever use the Tomes power again.
  2. The Tomes are sources of energy created by the wizard Balok, each of which are fueled by the labor of thousands of innocents who have been captured, imprisoned, and controlled by his subordinates. After slaying Balok, the kingdom has been ravaged with Silas as the only survivor, so Silas seeks the tomes not only to permanently end Balok’s magic, but also to restore the population of his world by freeing those trapped within the tomes.
  3. The tomes are hidden in forsaken ruins of ancient dynasties below the surface of a deteriorating kingdom, all of which were territories that Balok had seized control over and melded into his own kingdom for over a millennia. Within these ruins, the forlorn spirits of the conquered guard his treasures against their will, with Silas having the power to stop them as the last survivor of his clan of shamans.
I know this is a bit of a lot, but it's something I've been going over frequently to myself, and I'd appreciate some insights for anyone who may want to give a cent or two (le wink)

2024.05.19 22:02 Signal-Promotion-10 Gamma and Beta functions for JEE Advance

Gamma and Beta functions for JEE Advance
Its been a while since I have made any post, but here I am ig
gamma beta functions; as the name suggests are 2 functions that are extensively used in math to solve problems, hence the reason it can be useful for JEE advance is because sometimes approaching the problems through this method can save a lot of time when compared doing it the traditional way.
Gamma functions are in the simplest sense an branched out version of the factorial functions, the gamma of a number n such that n > 0 is:
https://preview.redd.it/vb7ezq6utf1d1.png?width=1192&format=png&auto=webp&s=83d759af2f3755dda5d7d659bc85459798f36f5a
some things that one should know are: i) Γ(1) = 1. ii) Γ(n+1) = nΓ(n). iii) Γ(1/2) = √π iv) Γ(n) = (n-1)! and finally v) Γ(n) Γ(1-n) = π/sin nπ.
fundamentally these ideas mean that when you plug a number such that the number is greater than 0 in the integral for the gamma function, you get the gamma function's value of that number.
examples:
  1. Find Γ(4). sol: Γ(4) = (4-1)! = 3! = 6.
  2. Find Γ(9). sol: Γ(9) = (9-1)! = 8! = 40320
  3. Find Γ(9/2). (for such problems that demand finding the gamma function for a fraction, you need to break down the fraction into two additive parts, take the fraction out, and repeat the process. Once you have broken down the second fraction, take it out again and multiply it with the previous fraction that was outside, continue the process until you are done with the final gamma value).
sol:
Γ(9/2) = Γ(7/2 + 1) = (7/2)Γ(7/2)
Γ(7/2) = (5/2)Γ(5/2)
Γ(5/2) = (3/2)Γ(3/2)
Γ(3/2) = (1/2)Γ(1/2)
We know that Γ(1/2) = √π, so:
Γ(9/2) = (7/2)(5/2)(3/2)(1/2)√π
= (7 * 5 * 3 * 1 * √π) / 2^4 = 105√π / 16
Beta functions:
just like gamma functions, beta functions are powerful mathematical tools extensively used to solve various problems the reason we learn this is yet again the same reason that we do gamma functions "from their ability to simplify complex calculations, often saving significant time compared to traditional methods" at least when we are speaking in the JEE domain
beta function is given as B(x,y), is defined for two positive numbers x and y, it also converges when the x and y are, x>0 and y>0:
https://preview.redd.it/l2snpwlurf1d1.png?width=1658&format=png&auto=webp&s=e5152529b4c509df15676fbc10d316e00247dfb4
just like the gamma function properties, there are some forms of beta function that one should know (these are the basic forms of beta function for gaining insights on the other forms pls refer to https://dlmf.nist.gov/5.12)
i) B(m,n) = Γ(m)Γ(n)/Γ(m+n). ii) B(m,n) = B(n,m)
beta function can also be expressed in another form of integral (it is called Reduction Formula):
Reduction formula (a form of expressing beta function)
examples:
  1. Find B(4,2). sol: Γ(4)Γ(2)/Γ(4+2) = 1/20
  2. Find B(3.5). sol: Γ(3)Γ(5)/Γ(3+5) = 1/105
  3. Find B(1/2, 1/2). sol: Γ(1/2)Γ(1/2)/Γ(1/2+1/2) = π
Solving Integrals with Gamma-Beta functions:
now that you have a basic understanding of these functions, you would want to apply them in your integrals, but remember gamma-beta functions are applicable for problems that appear in their format, most of the time when questions are not given in the form of gamma-beta function; then you evaluate the traditionally, but when you find integrals that can be expressed as gamma-beta function. then you should go with this method.
here is an example problem of how you could do it in case the question is in the form of the gamma-beta function:
Solve the following problem.
Sol: looking at this integral, we can trace it with the reduction formula that we just learned a while ago, and we know that the reduction formula is a form of beta function. as we notice this integral. we can see that in the numerator for "m-1" in the reduction formula, it's given as 2 in the question. if we equate this:
m-1 = 2, m = 3.
and if we repeat this process in the denominator the reduction formula has "m+n" and we trace this with the question and equate it:
m+n = 5, (m=3). hence 3+n = 5 and therefore n = 2.
Now we have the values for m and n, hence we have B(m,n) as B(3,2). now solve B(3,2) and we get the answer of this integral as:
1/12.
this was just a trivial example showcasing how to use gamma-beta functions to solve integrals.
here are some JEE PYQs that can be solved by using the Gamma-beta function:

2024.05.19 22:00 Rude_Bill_6356 Horrible neighbors!

This family, Kessica and Jarl Rronnevik (names changed to protect identity) moved next door to me after this article. I am attaching an article I found about the family and wow the comments are wild. I can’t help but feel terrible for that neighbor! We don’t have a shared wall, being next door neighbors, my family has heard screaming and crying for almost an hour on several occasions. Since moving next door my life has been hell. I have had trash, screws, eggshells, light bulbs and food refuse thrown in my yard by their children. The parents refuse to discipline their kids. Instead, they stay in their house while their kids (and sometimes their children's friends) run around screaming until long after bedtime. As a result of the items their children have thrown in my yard, my elderly dog died of an obstruction because she ate an eggshell. The parents have never apologized or acknowledged the destruction of my property nor the loss of our family pet. Their kids threw tomatoes at my home and tomato juice and tomatoes were on the side of my home. I called the police and the police officer spoke to them about keeping their kids from throwing items. The parents never acknowledged it. Even at a minimum - they should have the children apologize or offer to help clean it up. Instead, I had to pressure wash to get the stains out of my vinyl siding. I'm afraid to go into my back yard when they are outside. Recently, when watering my shrubs in my backyard near the property line the father, Jarl Rronnevik (alias), decided (out of the blue) to use a weed eater to trim the grass on the chain link fence. Instead of waiting until I finished (i was in my yard at least 30 minutes watering prior to him starting his weed eater) he commences to trim near the chain link fence. I was 10 feet away and backing up to get out of the way when a metal shard hit me in the face! He had on safety glasses. I jumped as it hit me which him turn off the weed eater to (snidely) ask what was wrong with me. I told him something hit my face from the fence. Instead of apologizing, he said I should have moved while he trimmed the grass. The mother, Kessica Rronnevik (alias), has complained to all the neighbors that I have contacted the city about their garden fence being 10 foot tall (and it was) and the city made them lower it to 8 feet. I did not call. But I’m certain I know which neighbor did, and it turns out it is one of their friends. But she posts accusations on the neighborhood facebook page about how I may be calling and complaining about other neighborhood violations. I am not. I have not said anything to them or to the other neighbors about how this family has harrassed me. However other neighbors have mentioned to me how they have seen their young children on their roof while the parents are indoors. What can I do to get them to stop saying untrue things about me and throwing things in my yard ? Any ideas on how I can defend myself from the gossip she has spread about me?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3639427/Your-baby-not-crying-loudly-long-North-Carolina-family-moves-neighbor-leaves-mean-note-one-year-old-child.html?ico=amp-comments-viewall#article-3639427

2024.05.19 21:58 Krw123 Fallout lore Head cannon/ proposal for A Fallout 5

To preface this is a narrative of the fallout lore both established in all the fallout games and many of the popular mods created for both new Vegas, fallout 3 and fallout 4 and a subsequent idea for a fallout 5 title that I wrote and wanted to get opinions on.
If you think this is cool lmk, if you think this sucks lmk. I’m just interested in sharing my own ideas with the wider fallout community.
 From Lone-wanderer to the courier (TTW tie in) 
After the events of Fallout 3, the Lone Wanderer, having no family and no place left to truly call home, gathered up his companions and headed west to start a new life. Over the next 4 years, the Lone Wanderer lived in the west with many of his former companions going their separate ways. The Lone Wanderer began working as a courier, known as Courier 6. There, he had a particularly bad run-in with a man named Benny, who introduced him to a bullet. The damage done to the Lone Wanderer caused him to lose his memories of his past. Thus, he became the courier.
After the events of Fallout: New Vegas, and the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, the NCR's military and infrastructure were severely weakened after destroying the Legion. Sensing an opportunity for mutual benefit the West Coast Brotherhood of Steel reached out to the Mojave chapter, where, under the leadership of Elder McNamera, the NCR and Brotherhood reached an agreement and official peace pact between the two groups, which culminated in the brotherhood becoming an official autonomous part of the NCR.
The West Coast Airship docks within the Strip, which was under the control of the Courier and member of the Mojave chapter. The West Coast reintegrated the Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel and uses the Strip as a base of operations. Leveraging their advanced technology and military prowess, they quickly gain the upper hand in engagements against the remaining enemies of the NCR.
 The Coming Storm (Dust tie in) 
Some time after the Second Battle of Hoover Dam and the BOS occupation of the strip joint expedition teams of the BOS AND NCR discovered the Sierra Madre Casino, as well as the mysterious and deadly cloud. The NCR and BOS scientists conducted experiments with the Cloud, bringing both massive samples of Cloud Residue and corpses of Ghost People back to the Mojave. Many of these experiments were conducted in a makeshift laboratory set up in the lobby of the Lucky 38 casino. Though the full nature of the experiments are unknown, it is implied that the participants involved were considered criminals to the NCR and the nature of the experiments were brutal, sadistic, and inhumane.
Around the same time, the BOS received reports that a massive sandstorm was approaching New Vegas. They did not share this information with the public, and instead began to outline evacuation procedures.
Five years after the expedition and experiments something went terribly wrong. It is implied that a disgruntled Vault 21 custodian may have intentionally sabotaged the Lucky 38 laboratory, causing a new Cloud to form over the Strip. This cloud was far more lethal and corrosive than the Cloud of the Sierra Madre. The corrosive capabilities even hindered the BOS power armor as the metal would be gradually eaten away by the cloud.
As the Cloud descended upon New Vegas, panic engulfed the Strip and Freeside. Riots and violence broke out. Miss communications between the directives of the BOS and NCR resulted in troopers executing innocent civilians in the streets. In response, the Kings rebelled against the NCR, while also aiding in an evacuation of Freeside, saving countless lives. The Followers of the Apocalypse were forced to abandon the Old Mormon Fort. The Airship of the Western Brotherhood attempted to evacuate all BOS personnel and any relevant technology from the strip before returning to Lost Hills. This resulted in some squads of the BOS being forced to take up residency within the casinos of the strip and vault 21. The NCR locked the gates to the Strip, with all civilians inside. The rebels led by the kings were forced out of and under the city, to the Sewers below. The BOS left in Vault 21 have been desperately trying to chisel away at the concrete within the vault in the hopes of tunneling back to Hidden valley.
NCR troops then dumped radioactive waste into the Sewers to kill any survivors, before fleeing the city themselves. Eventually, the situation became so bad that NCR General Lee Oliver ordered an evacuation of all NCR personnel from New Vegas via the Strip Monorail.
These events nullified the BOS and NCR treaty resulting in BOS forces seizing locations across the Mojave that had the capability to keep them safe from the cloud while also engaging in Guerilla warfare tactics against the NCR.
The city would ultimately fall to the Cloud and to the dust storms that blew in from the West. While some survivors attempted to take shelter in the Strip's casinos they were met with the business ends of BOS laser rifles. Those who did not head for the casinos were not so lucky, as anyone who wasn’t immediately killed by the Cloud became Ghosts and cloud victims, while others died slowly of radiation poisoning and exposure.
While New Vegas fell to the Cloud, a massive radioactive dust storm engulfed the rest of the Mojave Wasteland, causing widespread devastation. Whole settlements and towns were evacuated or otherwise destroyed. One settlement in particular, Goodsprings, was struck by an unknown form of plague, killing most of its residents and turning the once-prosperous community into a Ghost Towns.
Other areas, such as Boulder City, attempted to protect themselves with the same suits worn by Ghost people in Vegas and the Sierra Madre, ultimately becoming trapped themselves. To make matters worse, the Tunnelers from the Divide eventually burrowed through to the Mojave Wasteland, As predicted by Ulysses. causing even more death and destruction. The dust storms blotted out the Sun, allowing the Tunnelers to hunt by day, killing off most of the native animal population in the Mojave.
The effects of the Fall would spread as far out as Zion Valley, where spore carriers from Vault 22 ran wild, alongside another strange, terrible creature, dubbed the Wendigo by the tribals within the valley.
After the fall, little remained of the old Mojave Wasteland. Once-powerful factions such as, The Great Khans, and Powder Gangers were either wiped out or dissolved into roaming gangs of Tribals and Survivors. The Western Brotherhood which had resided in the strips cohesion collapsed as its members lost contact with the surrounding Casinos and vault 21.
Cannibalism became rampant, as people did whatever they could to survive. The NCR remained in control of various locations such as Camp Golf, Hoover Dam, Camp McCarran and Nellis AFB. Those fortunate enough to evacuate the Mojave mostly wound up at Camp Adytum, an NCFollowers refugee center in the Boneyard, however they were quickly drafted and sent to the now ongoing BOS and NCR conflict.
The NCR would eventually launch expeditions into the ruins of New Vegas, presumably to acquire materials left over from the Lucky 38 laboratories. However, none of these expeditions were successful, and the NCR soon abandoned all attempts to return to New Vegas, with only the Royst-Bernard Expedition consisting of rogue NCR scientific and military personnel returning in an attempt to succeed, where regular NCR failed.
 The Patriot at Heart (America Rising 2 tie-in) 
In the aftermath of the events of Fallout 3, the remnants of the Enclave fled north into the Commonwealth where they waited in hiding for 10 years. After the events of Fallout 4, the Lone Survivor helped revive the Enclave and ultimately forced the Institute into being folded into the Enclave, bringing their advanced technology and expertise in synth creation under one banner.
The Enclave embarked on a bold experiment, merging their iconic power armor technology with the synthetic advancements of the Institute. The result was the creation of a new breed of soldiers: Power Armored Synths or PAS.
These hybrid warriors combined the resilience and strength of power armor with the versatility and adaptability of synthetic intelligence. Clad in imposing power armor suits, these Synths were capable of executing complex military maneuvers, engaging enemies with precision and force.
Under the banner of the Enclave, this new army of PAS’s became the vanguard of their expansionist ambitions, striking fear into the hearts of any who knew of their existence. The Enclave took a page from the Institute by beginning to kidnap high-ranking members of the Railroad, Brotherhood of Steel, and Minutemen, replacing them with Synth sleeper agents who would corrupt the organization of the Commonwealth and East Coast Brotherhood to weaken them for an Enclave assault. This culminated in the Enclave assault on the Prydwen, forcing Elder Maxson to retreat back to the Capital Wasteland.
 Fallout 5: Tactics 
The year is 2300, 13 years after the events of Fallout 4.
A squad of the Chicago-based Midwest Brotherhood intercepts a transmission from the East Coast Brotherhood, calling for aid from the West Coast Brotherhood in a last-ditch effort to defend the Capital Wasteland from the Commonwealth-based Enclave assault.
Our character, a Midwest Brotherhood Paladin dubbed the Major, must traverse the Midwest, gaining new allies and attempting to mend the fractured Midwest Brotherhood to aid in the coming conflict. Our character must also fix up a convoy to traverse the wasteland of the Midwest in order to make it to the East Coast. Various quests and side quests will provide the character with allies and further supplies for the coming conflict and further cement the Midwest Brotherhood's position within the region.
Once the player believes they have gathered their small army sufficiently and created their convoy, they embark on a journey towards the East. Along the way, they are intercepted by Enclave and Super Mutant forces. Upon entering into the Capital Wasteland, the general's forces link up with what’s left of the East Coast Brotherhood who have been hiding out in Rockopolis after the Citadel was infiltrated and taken over by the Enclave. DC now acts as the front lines of a war yet again between the Enclave, Brotherhood, and a new faction in the wasteland called the Behemoths, an organized and somewhat intelligent super mutant group led by an intelligent mutant named Osiris, who was once a member of the Master's army. Osiris united the D.C. Mutants and launched his own series of attacks on the Brotherhood when the Enclave took hold of the Citadel.
Along the way, we meet a one-armed Three Dog who barely survived the Enclave bombing of the GNR building but has since set up shop in Broadcast Tower KTB with a small contingent of Brotherhood Paladins who aided against the Enclave, rescuing Three Dog.
As the Major and the elders plot out a plan to assault the Enclave at the Citadel.
Mid west Factions: 1. Brotherhood of Steel (Midwest Chapter): - The player's faction, focused on preserving pre-war technology and knowledge. - Known for their advanced technology and power armor. - Initially, they prioritize their interests but may assist others if it aligns with their goals.
  1. Midwest Brotherhood Outcasts:
    • A splinter faction of the Brotherhood of Steel, formed due to disagreements over the main Brotherhood's leadership or ideologies.
    • They may possess similar technology and resources as the main Brotherhood but operate independently, sometimes in opposition to their parent faction.
  2. Reavers:
    • A ruthless raider group terrorizing the Midwest wasteland.
    • Known for their brutality and willingness to pillage and plunder.
    • Considered a major threat to the stability of the region, often in conflict with other factions.
  3. The Vikings:
    • A raider group modeled after the historical Vikings (with a mixture of the football Minnesota Vikings.)
  4. Gammorin's Army Remnants:
    • A militant faction once led by the super mutant Gammorin.
    • Composed primarily of super mutants, they seek to establish dominance over the wasteland through force.
    • Viewed as a formidable enemy by other factions due to their strength and aggression.
  5. Vault 0:
    • A vault inhabited by a powerful supercomputer known as the Calculator.
    • The Calculator once sought to expand its influence and control over the wasteland, posing a significant threat to other factions; however, it was reprogrammed by someone named the Warrior in the year 2197. This effectively deactivated and left the army of robots dormant and sealed away within Vault 0. Their advanced technology and military capabilities make them a formidable adversary and an equally valuable ally if they can only be reactivated and reprogrammed.
  6. Tribal Communities:
    • Various tribes and communities scattered throughout the Midwest wasteland.
    • They may have their own customs, traditions, and conflicts.
    • Depending on the player's actions, they could become allies, enemies, or neutral parties.
As the player ventures further into the capital wasteland they find that it is now far greener than in the past and wild punga fruit now can be found around the wastes, if the player makes a detour to oasis they will find that Harold has rapidly grown and from the Potomac River (death law sanctuary) in the west to temple of the union in the east is now a lush paradise (that is if it weren’t for all the deathclaws and raiders who stalk the forest.) As Harold/Bob spread, the brotherhood eventually sent out missions to learn more about it, after encountering Linden, they made a formal treaty with the poplars, in which the poplars were given water in exchange for the fresh fruit from the oasis. The brotherhood also helped encourage the trade of Punga with the Poplars to be grown within the oasis to help aid soil development and remove radiation. The poplars now tend the forest and have become somewhat of a nature inspired farming/fire fighting force, having a couple of villages throughout the forest network. However raider gangs also set fire to the trees, (if the player investigates they’ll find out that the enclave is paying the raiders to burn the trees and fight their way in to help destabilize the brotherhoods food supply and trade routes)
If the player chooses to side with the poplars/ Brotherhood the trees will continue to spread at a rate of 1 mile for every 24 real world hours that pass in game.
If the player helps the enclave they will be tasked with infiltrating the original Oasis and burning Harold alive, and the trees will dwindle at the same rate until the oasis is fully gone.

2024.05.19 21:58 ChasetheElectricPuma The majority of Eminem's rap feuds have been against lightweight opponents

The majority of Eminem's rap feuds have been against Z-list celebrities, middle-aged contemporary R&B/pop singers, and washed-up rappers. Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Benzino (his second diss song was well-written, but there are rumors that it was ghostwritten), Melle Mel (he's an aging old school rap artist from a bygone era), Ja Rule (admittedly, he had few scathing lines on Loose Change), Machine Gun Kelly, Insane Clown Posse, Moby (he's not even a rap artist), Christina Aguilera, Charlamagne tha God, Will Smith, Lord Jamar, and Jermaine Dupri.
There's this revisionist idea that artists "don't or didn't want smoke" with Eminem. Artists just don't go after one another unprovoked because that's generally not how rap beefs start. In order for a rapper to diss another rapper (especially elite ones), there would need to be some sort of pre-existing animosity in the air. There have been a few instances where Eminem has gone head-to-head with a skilled opponent, namely Cage, Canibus, and arguably Everlast. With Cage, it was accusations of "style biting." With Everlast, it was over a perceived disrespectful interaction with Eminem. With Canibus, there were rumors that Eminem ghostwrote LL Cool J's The Ripper Strikes Back.
Eminem, however, never bothered to respond to the diss songs written by Evidence, Esham, K-Rino, Pacewon, or the Game.
I think what's more interesting is that, outside of written diss records, if you look at Eminem's freestyle battle rap record, he's lost to rappers with sharp penmanship, notably Rhymefest, MC Juice, Otherwize, and Doseone (it's important to point out that Eminem had been rapping for almost a decade before participating in Scribble Jam and the Rap Olympics, so he wasn't some fresh-faced beginner in the rap battle circuit).

2024.05.19 21:57 Agreeablemartini [QCrit] Romantic Fantasy - Blood and Covenant, 120k (4th attempt)

I think I’m almost there! I went through and cut down a lot, so hopefully this still gets across the general idea. Thank you everyone for your wonderfully critiques thus far.
Dear [Agent's Name],
I am excited to submit for your consideration my romantic fantasy novel, BLOOD AND COVENANT, complete at 120,000 words. This stand-alone novel with series potential is comparable to When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker and Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.
Twenty-four-year-old beast slayer Saoirse often uses her scrappy bits of magic to cheat at cards, trying to forget her murderous past and suppress the insidious magic lurking within her. Her nights are filled with drinking and fleeting encounters, but everything changes when her latest one-night stand, Lord Brythan Blackwood, shapeshifter and heir to his father’s throne, turns out to be betrothed to the noblewoman tasked with guiding Saoirse on her next critical mission.
Reluctantly, Saoirse teams up with Brythan and his betrothed to secure the Ouroboros Ring, a powerful artifact that could spell doom for mankind if it falls into the hands of a mortal-hating sorceress. As they journey across the realm, the tension between Saoirse and Brythan escalates into an irresistible attraction. But Saoirse discovers that she isn’t the only one trying to redeem a dark past, and soon they find they both have a knife at the other’s back.
My name is [redacted], and I am from [redacted] In 2014, I published my debut novel, [redacted], with an indie press. When I am not writing, I work as a video director and editor on short documentaries for a local music institution. I hold a Bachelor's degree in film and writing as well as an MFA in film.

2024.05.19 21:56 PressinPckl Several problems with plex I need to vent about

I have several issues so I hope this gets back to the developers. I'm not really looking for feedback. I'm just airing my grievances.
Issue #1 - Two shows merged and no discernable reason as to why...
Show 1, folder name: "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 2013"
Show 2, folder name: "The Shield 2002"
I just found out that all of my episodes for "The Shield 2002" are listed as "alternate episode" files for show #1.
Here is my beef. If the "agent" searched the actual name of the folder I gave the show, then the first match would have been correct. Even after "splitting" the show, and going to fix match on the now separated version still returns the wrong show, and the correct show is not even in the results returned. Upon clicking the search options, it's literally searching for the name of Show #1 and year 2013 even though that specific text is no where to be found within the folder the match is for.
I even double checked the metadata of the files to see if there was something there that was causing this and there is no informational metadata set on these files so that is not it either.
What is so hard about just searching the actual words I put in the name of the folder? Why is the "agent" taking liberties and making assumptions which result in the bad/illogical matching which raises my blood pressure and makes me question my sanity?
WHY??
Issue No. 2 - Several shows now showing up with a trash icon over the show.
From what I hear this is caused by moving library files. I did not move anything. But ok for the sake of the argument, lets say I did.
Why is there no way to get more information on the "Unavailable" status?
I checked every single season and episode, down to checking the "get info" panel of every single episode, and not one episode showed more than ONE source file, and all episodes play 100% fine. There has to be a reason it has that status. There HAS to be. Why are you not providing a way to find out this reason?
Since there is nothing wrong with any episodes on the whole show, it must be a "database" issue, right?
Oh look! There is an "Optimize Database" button in the "troubleshooting" section of the server settings... That does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to resolve the issue. So again, if there is nothing wrong with any files, and the DB optimization didn't fix it, then WHAT THE HELL IS THE PROBLEM?
EDIT: The only "fix" for this is to move the affected show folders out of my library folders, rescan tv-shows, then move them back, re-scan tv-shows, then suffer by these shows atop my "recently added tv shows" list on my home screen with no way to put them back where they belong outside of opening the database in an SQLLite browser and manually editing the date which is way to much work to be bothered with on top of the hoops I already had to jump through.
Why is there not a way to just set the "added on date" directly from the Plex interface to resolve stuff like this? FFS.
Issue No. 3 - Log files
After all of the above I noticed there was a download log files button. I said, "as a developer, I should be able to find out some details as to why these issues are happening." So I grabbed the log files and I have to say....
What in the name of useless cap is this?
My "Media Scanner Analysis" logs roll over after like 100ms of logging. It gets through like 1 episode of 1 show before rolling over to a new log file. There is a limit of 5 log files. I get at best 500ms to 1 second of log before there is no more information to parse through. Maybe like 5 episodes worth.
Why would they think this is useful? Like what the hell? I have a hard drive you know? My hard drive can dedicate more than 50KB of space for log files you know? We could literally set the rollover at 10MB and I would not feel it what-so-ever. What are we even doing here?
I just wanted to thank whoever's great idea it was to cut off logging so fast that no useful information could be found unless whatever the issue happened in the last 500ms before downloading the log files. Whoever you are, great job!

2024.05.19 21:55 psychonautalot I'm being Cybersquatted

I created a painting business and registered the LLC September of 2023 and when I checked then my domain was completely avaliable. Fast forward to now and I was getting ready to purchase it (it was avaliable September 2023) and now it's for sale for 1500 dollars and on whois it shows it was first purchased March 2023?? I found the person behind it too and he's a huge domain scammer with his actual own website in his name created by someone who he scammed warning people. What do I do? Also how the heck would the domain be avaliable in September 2023 and now it shows a purchase date March 2023?? Seems incredibly fraudulent.

2024.05.19 21:53 i-couldnt-think-of-1 Baby girl first and middle name suggestions??

We’re expecting our first baby in November… and while we do have two first names at the top of the list I’m still looking for suggestions. And we have zero ideas on middle names.
Our last name is one syllable, 4 letters, so I feel the first name really needs to be 2+ syllables or it feels like it’s a pet’s name.
We love the names Brooklyn and Aspen.
I also love the name Sage but one syllable… and I don’t think my hubbie will like it. Might be a middle name contender.
Any suggestions in that “vibe”? I’m not looking for traditional/timeless names… but also not on board with some of the crazier baby names of today. Something just kind of middle of the road, unique but not insane.
