Fordham : Around ~15k per year to pay out of pocket Baruch: Around ~9500 per year to pay out of pocket Bard College: ~8,176 per year to pay, (would be leaving city to dorm)
I want to study business, with possibly a concentration on marketing and sales, not sure yet.
For context, I have been accepted into Gabelli School LC for Global Business. I am a NYC resident and I would be residing with my parents and would commute to Fordham and Baruch. I need some advice on where I should commit, deposits are due tomorrow for me. My parents are willing to help cover some costs, but I would be taking out loans.
IMPORTANT: For added context, I will only be at Fordham for 3 years as I have early college credits that are transferable to Fordham. Baruch would be 2 years, and for Bard I would be looking at attending for 4.5 years for their dual major in economics and finance. Thoughts?

This is my family and relatives league and man was it tight at the end

This is a genuine question I’ve had for a while, would dnd be capable of finishing the show well in this scenario. We all know how awful the show got once they ran out of books, but what if they didn’t? I’m kind of 50/50 on what would happen. On the one hand they did a really good job adapting certain aspects of the book and even adding great dialogue at certain points like the scene with Robert and Cersei (when compared to I dun wan it.. woof)
On the other hand though, they also partially hollywoodized certain aspects of the show, messed up several aspects of the books, and made mistakes at the end of season 4 and season 5 that seemed to really hurt future quality before the books ran out. We had Renly and Loras turned from 3 dimensional characters into a homophobic stereotype, Talisa instead of Jenye , no lady Stoneheart, cutting Fageon, Jamie raping Cersei and leaving out Tyrion’s dark side and the Tysha reveal.
Don’t get me wrong the show was still phenomenal until season 5 but these mistakes really seem like they could snowball very very easily. I honestly think they might screw it up anyways, but it’s impossible to tell.

Hi Everyone. I have a Blue Moon Moon Phases sign that lights up all the different phases of the moon. It has developed 1 problem where one of the phases of the Moon either will stay lit or will flicker when dimming or turning on. Once it's lit it won't flicker. I am trying to figure out who manufactured the sign to see if I can get a new board placed in it. I belive the issue is with the controller, but I cannot find a manufacturer. The sign was made in June of 2017 and says on the back to contact the manufacturer for issues, but there's no phone number. Does anyone have any information about this sign? Thank you!

Main question: After a surprising R&R and halfway through the querying process, should I attempt to save my manuscript by getting editorial help, or should I let it (potentially) die out with the last half of my agent list?
More context: Back in October, I started querying my novel after 5 beta readers, 1 critique partner, and two big-name agent consultations who gave me the green light to query. I started off with several agent requests from various pitch contents, and within a month, I had several fulls out. By December, most of those fulls turned into rejections, some kind and some form. I knew this was to be expected, and decided to take a break from querying for a few months in case I had some thoughts about revisions.
In early 2024, I was accepted into an acclaimed mentorship for the novel, and after another round of revisions with this trusted mentor, I sent my novel back into to query trenches in April. Now it’s been technically 2-3 months of sending this MS out and 7 months of this MS being out in agents’ hands, and I now have a decent request rate paired with 8 full rejections. Of the 4 full rejections who gave personalized feedback, 3 made it seem like there was a small reason why they had to pass (using only one personalized sentence) while one agent gave me a very lengthy R&R letter begging me to rip apart my beginning and start in a completely different manner.
After careful consideration, I’ve concluded that this agent did not read beyond 25 pages (my 20-25 page mark features one of the major things she told me my story lacked). However, their primary advice was to have my 1st chapter start somewhere else and have the main character do something completely different. As much as I’d like to consider this feedback, making such a change would alter the rest of the manuscript, as I’d have to introduce everything from the current Chapter 1 at some other time — all of which doesn’t make sense to me, and would only make my already long manuscript even longer. My book is a mystery/thriller, and shifting the pace and creating a new goal-based plot line (as also suggested) would upend the characteevidence balance I've already worked to create. They even said the way I’m setting this story up is not doing justice to everything else I’ve created for the book, which they listed to demonstrate specifics. I have no idea if this R&R is pointing out something crucial to my story succeeding, or if it's just their preference and I should take it with a grain of salt.
If you’d like further context, I can provide it, but TL;DR: This R&R is making me wonder if I need to rewrite the book or seek editorial assistance (possibly $3,000, I would go with someone on Reedsy) in order to save this book for the last half of my querying journey. Should I try to salvage, or should I let this book die in the trenches and move on? Or, is there an underrated craft book anyone can recommend if you've had to go through the same thing?
I'm aware this is a highly personal situation, but if anyone has gone through this before, I'd be happy to hear about it.

Hi all, and apologies if this has been asked for many times. I researched about this topic already but I still couldn't make up my mind.
I happened to come across two similarly priced MacBook Pros, one with 14" M3 Pro 36GB RAM and 1TB SSD, and the other with 16" M2 Max 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD.
My current use case isn't heavy at all, which I know can be accommodated by an MBA. However, I'll be leaving my current 8–5 office job to do something else. I will do some learning about AI processing but not about training ML models using millions of data, as well as doing a bit of video editing (not pro grade, where every second counts) and VM.
I'm not a digital nomad or professional videographer or photographer, so I won't be on the road all the time but will be traveling once every month or two months. I like the screen real estate of the 16" and I don't mind the weight, but of course, the portability of the 14" would be appreciated. Understand that both elements can be accommodated by the 15" MBA. I also have an iPad Mini 6 and a 12.9" iPad Pro M1 as my companion devices.
Battery life would be important, although with the Apple silicon, they're all having a great battery life, and it won't harm having a good battery life that can last for 8 to 10 hours without access to power. Not sure if this part is too greedy and it's a nice to have only. I wanted my device to last about 4 to 5 years, but if I sell it after year 2 or 3, at least the device would still retain some residual value.
I will need help/advice/suggestion on the performance side, and factoring all of the above. Would appreciate any feedback and suggestions!
