2024.05.20 06:32 vevesta Gamification and Why It Shouldn't be an Afterthought !!
TLDR - Unlocking the Power of Gamification: Integrating User Respect, Data Collection, and Psychological Insights
Example : LinkedIn utilizes the user’s urge to reach full potential and 5 star profile rank and it urges the user to fill their details on the app. It also gives away “top voice of “ a particular field by urging users to engage with questions that LinkedIn posts and if you get votes, you get labeled the voice of the particular field.
In Duolingo, the users are shown a lot of advertisements of games such as candy crush saga. Maybe the google algorithm, targeting the duolingo app users, identifies that users of this app are more likely to play other games too. Similarly, LinkedIn’s attempt to introduce small games onto the platform, might improve their ability to segment their customers into interesting cohorts, with questions such as do gamers find it harder or easier to switch jobs? Or, do gamers stay longer at jobs or switch jobs faster than non gamers? Or, Are people exploring games are in fact stressed at work and are likely to quit in coming months, making them an appealing candidate for jobs outreach by talent acquisition.

What is Gamification ?
Gamification is an art and science of engaging and retaining customers by tapping into their psychology and forming habits that stick. These habits can have positive and/or negative effects on the customer. It should not be a surprise that gamification is used by many companies focusing on increasing retention/engagement of the app.Example : LinkedIn utilizes the user’s urge to reach full potential and 5 star profile rank and it urges the user to fill their details on the app. It also gives away “top voice of “ a particular field by urging users to engage with questions that LinkedIn posts and if you get votes, you get labeled the voice of the particular field.
Is respect what the user needs ?
A popular example of successful gamification is Duolingo. Interestingly, the app has a character of its own and the user finds himself/herself engaging with a cute owl and a girl, Lily, amongst others. This makes it particularly engaging for users. Duolingo gets a lot of things right from the perspective of gamification. Like all others, Duolingo sends notifications but with measured pace and pauses it when the user refuses to engage with it. There appears to be a fundamental thread of respect for users. I particularly was fascinated by the fact that it gives you reasons why the app shows you advertisements. It isn’t apologetic but at the same time, lets the user know that it’s necessary for running the app for free. This is refreshing when compared to giant social networks that take the time of the user for granted.Gamification as a means to collect data
The often ignored aspect of the gamification is the clickstream data that gets collected. Clickstream is a series of actions, such as clicks, cursor movement etc, the user takes on the product. This data opens an interesting possibility to understand the users of the product. Not long back there were number studies focusing on device usage that showed distinctive behavior of Apple users as compared to Android users. Similarly, actions of the users can be used to segment the users into various user profiles to judge which ones are power users, active users, and passive ones.In Duolingo, the users are shown a lot of advertisements of games such as candy crush saga. Maybe the google algorithm, targeting the duolingo app users, identifies that users of this app are more likely to play other games too. Similarly, LinkedIn’s attempt to introduce small games onto the platform, might improve their ability to segment their customers into interesting cohorts, with questions such as do gamers find it harder or easier to switch jobs? Or, do gamers stay longer at jobs or switch jobs faster than non gamers? Or, Are people exploring games are in fact stressed at work and are likely to quit in coming months, making them an appealing candidate for jobs outreach by talent acquisition.
What underlying Psychological drives of user’s does Gamification tap into ?
Gamification can be seen as an interplay of habits that either contribute to user’s well-being in economic, professional or health, etc or ones that negatively impact these facets. Often cited, some of the drives that impact habit formation of a product are curiosity and unpredictability during discovery phase, the achieving a sense of competence during onboarding stages, and finally users might want to continue using the product due to inability to lose their achievements. An important thing to note here is that the user should have worked hard and tried actively to earn those achievements. If I were to take my own example, I am a user of Myntra app (i.e. a predominantly fashion clothing and accessories app). Myntra gives away gamified points whenever the customer makes a purchase. But since users like me have never worked to achieve those points in the first place, users (at least me) don’t get bothered if they say that they are losing their access to an exclusive online club if users no longer continue to do a required action such as purchase on the app. In general, gamification should be pursued with careful consideration and slapping on gamification as an afterthought doesn’t really help with increasing customer engagement.Originally published at - https://buildstartupinpublic.substack.com/p/gamification-insights
2024.05.20 06:31 FlameEmperor45 Egghead arc is boring and why we reached here.
For a background, I have been reading one piece in ongoing for 6 years now. Anime, manga, LN, WN I have a lot of stuff to compare one piece to.
For a long time, it's stayed in my top 10 series. The sole reason being the overarching story and world building. But I think, even they can't carry the horrible flaws in writing anymore.
Egghead arc is incredibly boring and has no value.
Let's see why that is.
Now combine point 1 and 2 and we have a bad story. Those 4 elders going on rampage should have made quick work of everyone on the island. Luffy isn't stopping them. But of course, there are no stakes, so we ain't afraid of anyone dying. But worse yet, this means, there is nothing to be engaged in the story.
Even with such a massive threat, it's not engaging at all. How are nami-ussopp level even taking a single side blow? It's impossible. A good writing would have brought in some other help that could help them, or someone would be dying right now.
The point here isn't : I wanna see X person die. (Coz I know emotional people come in and say, so you just want X to die. That's not the point. If you say that, you have already missed the point) The point is, for an action story to be engaging, the characters need to be in risk. There is no risk in one piece. And we reached here through the dozen arcs, where we went through similar things.
Egghead is the culmination of it all. This arc has even more enemies (total threat level I mean) than Wano. But the people who can fight them are all gone. But there is no risk regardless.
Haki is basically like Qi in DBZ. But the bodies of one piece characters make no sense. What's the point of the Meitous if they can't even cut people in half. It's extremely childish.
What's truly sad, is one piece is has worse power scaling than DBZ and that's saying something.
It's probably not worth enough to stay in my top 10 anymore. The world building and overarching story can't carry anything, if the foreground stuff is horrible.
Tl;Dr - to summarise : Because the story has no stakes even when incredibly powerful opponents are in the arc which is multiplied by incredibly horrendous power scaling which then makes the battles completely meaningless and nonsensical. Its emphasized by the fact that damage makes no sense. And the cherry on top is when hundreds or thousands of people die through these battles, and luffy keeps his "no kill" vow. As if his random shot didn't just kill hundreds of fodders in that ship.
To finalise : one piece has some good points, but essentially it's being held down by many of the weaknesses I have seen in Japanese authors. These authors never had the skill to actually make something long, but they inadvertently made a famous story and had to make them into those long series. But they often lack the writing skills, so it still feels like an amateur write up.
The real reason for sucess of some of these stories is the simplicity they have. A simple plot with simple action = fun. It's not wrong, but it's not the critically acclaimed master piece the fans will claim it to be.
There are definitely several well executed gemstones among manga/LN/anime. So it's not to say that they don't exist. But that's out of the scope of this sub of course.

Egghead arc is incredibly boring and has no value.
Let's see why that is.
- Biggest flaw, that harms egghead the most : "Lack of stakes". Since no one, and I mean no one is going to die. Even a pitiful side character, it's hard to really feel engaged. In fact, Vegapunk isn't dead for sure. But he isn't even a character we are invested in. Killing a character you just brought in, isn't a big deal. Because we have no connection with it.
- "Bad powerscaling" : and saying one piece isnt about power scaling is cope. It's a shonen action series. If it cant handle it, it's a weakness. You can't escape. Why it hurts egghead even more?
Now combine point 1 and 2 and we have a bad story. Those 4 elders going on rampage should have made quick work of everyone on the island. Luffy isn't stopping them.

Egghead is the culmination of it all. This arc has even more enemies (total threat level I mean) than Wano. But the people who can fight them are all gone. But there is no risk regardless.
- On one hand, there is a dark overarching story, but then we have these scenes where author is afraid to show deaths of enemies too. Luffy said he will take the head of Kaido, but he didn't. Of course kaido is dead, but how does luffy know that?
- Visible damage makes no sense : For example, a punch that can shatter mountains will disable the opponent but, he won't have any visible damage. I know it's a children's show or whatever. But when simple guns seem to penetrate their skins, it's looks ridiculous in comparison.

2024.05.20 06:30 arChrisan3 Declaring peace.
This thought has stuck with me within these past 2 months. I’ve written on my notebook of my wants after I’m gone. And to spend time with my family. Have good moments and eventually leaving to do what I need to do. I don’t want to continue being a burden. My life was just a mistake. I was never intended to thrive. There was no chance of me ever having a happy life. My life has been transitioning to more independency. Such as going out and doing things alone. But my emotional wounds and physical scars inhibit my true potential. There’s no way to recover from this excruciating pain. Every day that passes i feel more hurt than ever before. People may say that i am strong, it bothers me because i don’t want to carry through all this forever. I am not strong. I’ll break down and cry over the stupidest things. I am a shell of a person. I’ve always felt empty and hollow. Wanting things that I’ll never have and don’t deserve to have.
I’m always hurting others. With my crude black and white thinking. My lack of awareness and desire to isolate myself. I’m so traumatized to the point of not being able to verbally speak. My real goal in life has always been euthanasia. Because i know that even when good things happen. I continue to wallow in my own misery and self hate. I can’t continue any longer. I’ll always be the princess that everyone humiliates. Having a soft heart and worrying about everything will be a slow and painful death. I’ll always get hurt. I carry everything inside me and this burden rots inside me infecting everything inside out. The evil that rapes has enchanted a spell. I was given bad milk and all i can do is cry. It has consumed and taken control of me. I’ll always be powerless, weak and insignificant.
To the ones who know me as Pig, Princess Ect… I will return to the water, where i bled and belong forever.

2024.05.20 06:30 Special-Specialist78 Having issues moving on from an ex.
So, this is going to be long winded. I don’t have anyone in my life I can comfortably talk to about this, so I’m just going to get it all out here. I met my ex about 5 years ago, we dated for a bit over two and a half years overall. At first things were pretty great, honestly have never felt so into someone before or since then. We got along, had amazing conversations, and overall, we just really clicked. Unfortunately, her ex-boyfriend was harassing both of us during all of this which was stressful for obvious reasons. He was abusive to her when they were dating, definitely not a good dude. It didn’t ruin things for us though, we just went along and dealt with it when we had to. Usually it was just an occasional message from him saying stupid shit or something like that, nothing super horrible. After maybe 8 or so months, I found out she cheated on me with that ex. Nothing physical but the conversations they had were personal. Looking back on everything, it seems it had a lot to do with aforementioned abuse, nothing continued between them after me and her broke up. Several months after, we saw each other in public and talked a bit, then we hung out with mutual friends together. We hung out alone after that, and eventually rekindled our relationship. We went on for a while after that, I felt okay about things for a while, but eventually the thoughts about what happened inserted themselves into my mind more and more. It became unbearable, and to preserve my as much as I could, I left. I don’t think I explained my perspective on things very well when it all happened, and immediately tried to cope and fill the void in me with relationships, they never lasted, and only made my life messier. I’ve spent a lot of time over the last several years being more mindful, and trying to heal from various things. Generally, I’m just trying to be a better person overall. Lots of areas of my life have been drastically improved thankfully. I am a busy guy travel a good amount and have a job I enjoy. However, I CANNOT stop thinking about my ex and our relationship. I have thought every thought i could ever have about it. I am not upset at her, I understand what I should have done differently on my side. I forgive her (for real this time) and look at her side with more understanding. Lots of these things came with time and healing more from the experience. I worked on many things with my therapist. But for the life of me I cannot stop thinking about her and our relationship, I can’t help but miss her. In relationships since then, I can’t help but think of her. It makes me feel like a real piece of shit. I have accepted and know fully that we will not be getting back together, she has her own life she is living, and I’m not going to selfishly interrupt her life in any way. I genuinely wish I could let go and continue with my life.
Because of all this, I feel like a weirdo and creepy. Even though I’m not inserting myself into her life, it just makes me feel like I’m somehow doing something wrong thinking about her as much as I do.
All of this has also made dating difficult for obvious reasons.
Anyways. I’m not expecting any solutions but this has been very hard to deal with the last several years so I needed to get it off of my chest.

2024.05.20 06:29 GinKenshin Non-gamer friend wants to buy Forbidden West on PS4. Need some help and tips.
Hello,
A friend texted me saying that he wants to buy FW on his PS4. This is the first time we asked me anything gaming-related, and my experience in gaming is only on PC so I'm not that certain I can really help him fully.
He asked where he can buy the game online, either digitally or a CD/DVD, and where to find the cheapest price.
So far from the little research I did, the best option seems to be PS Plus, since I read the game is available from that subscription and it's only 10 bucks a month.
I also saw this site that lists the game, a bunch of online stores its available in, and the best prices and historical lows and the like. https://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/buy-horizon-forbidden-west-ps4-compare-prices/
Is this site and the stores they suggest reliable?
I also want to ask for the people who played FW on PS4, how does it run?
Thank you in advance!

The Top 18 Best Ceiling Light Cover Replacements
Reviews🔗Dysmio Clear Hammered Glass Ceiling Fan Cover Bell Shapehttps://preview.redd.it/71z8zwuxdi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff1cd0e6ed9202e01c2735762f59f5eb1b64c5b5 As an avid interior design enthusiast, I've been continually scouting for ways to spruce up my living space without breaking the bank. I stumbled upon the Dysmio Ceiling Fan Light Covers and let me tell you, they've brought a whole new level of elegance and charm to my home. These small details make a world of difference when it comes to altering the atmosphere of a room. The Dysmio Ceiling Fan Light Covers are traditional bell-shaped glasses made from clear hammered glass that gently ripples light, casting delicate patterns throughout my space. They've added a touch of sophistication and class that perfectly complements the existing decor. It's amazing how much of a difference a simple replacement of light covers can make in transforming your home's look and feel. One thing that really stood out for me was the ease of installation. Each cover comes with its own mounting hole, making it a breeze to attach to my ceiling fans, wall lamps, and chandeliers. The standard 2-1/4-inch fitter also ensures versatility, so I didn't have to worry about compatibility issues. However, the one aspect that could be improved is the size. With a height and depth of 4.75 inches, and a base width of 4.95 inches, they might not be the perfect fit for every type of light fixture. But in my case, they were just the right size to bring a renewed sense of style and ambiance to my living space. In conclusion, the Dysmio Ceiling Fan Light Covers are an affordable and effective way to breathe new life into your home's lighting fixtures, transforming your living space with elegant and classic charm. I can wholeheartedly recommend these light cover replacements for anyone looking to elevate their interior design without breaking the bank. 🔗Classic Diamond Crystal Ceiling Light Shadehttps://preview.redd.it/wra3tu01ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5102394f7e2015f92452288d307b2f8adc12ba39 I've recently added the Boao Gold Crystal Lamp Shade to my living room, and I couldn't be happier with the sparkle it brings to the space. This product not only gives off a warm, inviting glow, but it's also incredibly durable. The non-toxic paint ensures that it won't easily rust or fade, making it a great addition to any room. One thing to note is that the assembly process does require some effort, but once it's up and running, the payoff is worth it. The diamond and cylindrical shape of the lampshade complements a variety of decors, making it a versatile piece to have in your home. However, keep in mind that the size might not be ideal for those looking to install this in a smaller room or ceiling height. Additionally, the packaging could use some improvement to ensure that the delicate crystal pieces remain intact during shipping. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Boao Gold Crystal Lamp Shade to anyone looking to enhance the ambiance of their living space with a touch of sparkle and elegance. 🔗Clear & Frosted Ceiling Fan Light Cover with Handmade Qualityhttps://preview.redd.it/miv0cni1ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c719e44ddb634b9c1ab33230232a68c4ad4d3680 I recently installed the XIDING Clear & Frosted Ceiling Fans Light Covers Glass Shade in my living room, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my interior lighting. The handmade quality of this glass shade is truly impressive, and it adds a touch of elegance to our ceiling fan. One of the best things about this glass shade is its compatibility with various ceiling fan light kit products that use a 2-1/8 inch fitter. This made replacing my old, damaged glass shade incredibly easy and straightforward. Plus, the water-resistant material makes cleaning a breeze! However, it's crucial to correctly measure the inside diameter of your glass holder before purchasing this product. This ensures a perfect fit and avoids any disappointment upon installation. Additionally, although I didn't encounter any issues during installation, it's essential to have an adult on hand to assist with moving and placing the glass shade safely. Customer satisfaction is a top priority for XIDING. If for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase, you can request a refund as long as the item and package are in original and perfect condition. Overall, the XIDING Clear & Frosted Ceiling Fans Light Covers Glass Shade has completely transformed my living space, and I am confident that it will do the same for you. Its durable construction, versatile compatibility, and easy-to-clean surface make it a must-have addition to any home. 🔗Turner Light Covers Keep Pests Awayhttps://preview.redd.it/l1aate22ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7915736c477b08e235b7964b3fc7bbb714f107fa My journey with the Turner Light Covers has been nothing short of a breeze. As an avid DIY enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for products that can simplify my home maintenance efforts. This product checks all the boxes - from its sleek, low-profile design to its high-quality construction, it definitely stands out. What I really dug about the Turner Light Covers is their ease of installation. They come with their own patented trim ring mounting system which makes it incredibly easy to replace bulbs without fumbling around with tools or risking any injuries from hidden pests. The fact that they're compatible with up to 8-inch recessed lights adds to their versatility, making them suitable for both commercial and residential use. Another key feature of these light covers is their resilience against heat and rust. They're built to handle the harsh outdoor elements, giving you peace of mind knowing they won't degrade over time. Additionally, the transparent screen provides protection without compromising on light output, ensuring your space stays bright and inviting. However, despite all these positives, I did find one con - the price. It's a bit on the higher side compared to similar products in the market. But given the durability and convenience they offer, I think it's a worthwhile investment. All in all, the Turner Light Covers have significantly improved my home maintenance experiences, making bulb replacements a hassle-free task. If you're in the market for a high-quality light cover solution, these are definitely worth considering. 🔗Modern Raindrop Style Glass Cylinderhttps://preview.redd.it/guue6yd2ei1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca90b0040c4af5ced8bfc36e74fc16bcb0efd2e2 I recently came across Anmire 3 Pack Modern Raindrop Style Glass Shade, and I must say, this is a game-changer for my home decor. As soon as I unboxed it, the sleek, modern design caught my eye. This glass shade not only provides a stylish touch to my pendant light but also creates a unique ambiance in my living room. One of the things that stood out most was how easy it was to install. The simplicity design makes it a hassle-free process, and it fits perfectly with my existing light fixture.

I was initially concerned about how compatible these covers would be with my IC-rated recessed lights, but after reading through the installation instructions and checking the specs, I found that they worked perfectly. The FF130E is made from a fire-safe material and has been tested to meet UL1598 and IEC 60598-1 standards, providing peace of mind when it comes to safety. One of the standout features of this product is its ease of installation; it took me just a few minutes to cover each light without any special tools or assembly required.

However, it’s not all roses and sunshine. While the glass shade is beautifully designed and built to last, it doesn’t come with any mounting hardware.

2024.05.20 06:29 Patient_Ad3716 My brother is a union plumber, hired me to build a website for a side job business and promote it but worried about potential legal issues...
Found out he's not technically licensed or insured even though his business cards say it and the website I built for him says it. I thought all union plumbepipefitters were licensed... He does commercial plumbing work for extremely big projects in Ohio, new construction but the side jobs would be evening/weekend residential repair and new installation upgrades. He doesn't want to pay taxes on the side jobs so he doesn't want to incorporate with an LLC so this is really challenging for me because in order to promote him or work with Google on targeted ads or do search engine optimization to get him clients I need some kind of business name as a title that he shows up as, whether in targeted Google ads or as one of the Google search engine results or in one of the many business directories for professional plumbers that I need to link his name and website and contact info to in order to make him a top Google search result.
I understand not wanting to pay taxes, especially when he is already in a high tax bracket from making $48 an hour at his regular 9-5 but taxes are a fact of life.. I don't like paying taxes either. Since he doesn't want to get an LLC I need to make sure the business name I use isn't actually registered so he doesn't get sued, I have to worry about whether or not Google and other platforms verify licensure and insurance and incorporation before allowing ads or being added to their directories, it's a frickin mess..
Have any of you guys had a side job business and managed to have your website at the top of Google without incorporating and being licensed and insured? He said he can get insured, that's not an issue but I don't understand why he isn't licensed...is it that hard? How do you make $48 an hour and a union journeyman with 20 years experience but not licensed? He definitely has the training, skill, experience...but years back he was addicted to heroin for a while and got a couple theft charges, does that prevent you from being a licensed plumber in Ohio? He's been clean for many years now...If that's the reason why, I don't know if he's ever checked into whether or not it's a deal breaker for lice sure. The licensing is up to a state board, right? It was a pretty long time ago now, since the theft... Seems like they would license him since he hasn't been in trouble since that fiasco if that were the issue.
But yeah, if anyone is familiar with what my brother is trying to accomplish with his side business or what I'm trying to accomplish helping to promote his side work through the website I designed for him and am looking to promote, any advice/info would be greatly appreciated.
Im not a tax accountant but I wish I could convince him to just get an LLC and just pay taxes, would certainly make it easier for me to promote this side business. It seems like he could easily be targeted by the IRS and he wouldn't have protection from getting sued and a lot of jobs wouldn't work out if they are jobs being paid for by insurance companies that probably require work to be done by licensed, insured, plumbers and by someone with a tax id/ with an llc.
Even though he would be paying a lot of tax money, it seems like he could take advantage of a lot of tax write offs. Wouldn't he be able to write off payments for his new truck, a portion of his mortgage payment since some of his house could be claimed as office space, cell phone bill for service calls, gas for service calls, etc? If you have info like that and know real numbers of the savings from tax write offs and real cost numbers of hiring an accountant and things like filing articles of incorporation that could help convince him to do all of this the legit way I would really appreciate it! Thanks.

2024.05.20 06:27 _ghostimage Sharing What is Working For Me
I've had toenail fungus for as long as I can remember. Started on my pinky toenails when I was a child and I'm now about to turn 34. I have tried sooo many products and nothing has made a noticeable difference. I started getting it on my big toenails recently and said enough is enough, I'm going to find a way to cure this. I've been doing this treatment routine since the beginning of April and I'm seeing marked improvement. Here is what I did/am doing:
submitted by _ghostimage to NailFungus [link] [comments]
- filed down and cut back as much of the diseased nails as I could without causing pain.
- bought a tub of urea cream, an antifungal cleansefoot wash, decolorized iodine, and a tube of Lamisil cream off of Amazon.
- began applying the urea cream to my toenails, followed directly by the Lamisil cream, twice a day. I rubbed both in every little crevice thoroughly.
- began wearing shower shoes. I sanitized them with Lysol and waited 3 minutes before each shower before rinsing them off and putting them on.
- washed my feet with the antifungal wash in the shower.
- sprayed Lysol in all of my shoes and let them sit in the sun after.
- soaked all of my socks in boiling water.
- soaked my feet in a sanitized bucket with hot water and Epsom salt once a week and used a glass cuticle pusher to clean up my cuticles and scrape out any dead skin from under my nails. I sanitized the bucket and cuticle pusher with Lysol before use each time.
- any time I was too lazy to do the cream routine, I would use the decolorized iodine on my nails.

2024.05.20 06:27 Original_Exercise968 How to Identify the Perfect Signage for Your Business?
Choosing the right signage should be a top priority for any business, whether you are just starting out or you are a well-established company. Your signage works for you 24/7, telling customers who you are, where you are, and what you do.
Effective business signage should be key components to your marketing strategy to help you promote your products and services. Here are some steps to follow when choosing your signage.
STEP 1: DETERMINE YOUR BUDGET
Your budget will help you determine a number of things when you are choosing signage such as:
Also remember that if you invest a little more in a higher quality sign, it will last longer and will not have to be replaced as quickly which will save you money in the long run.
If your budget is tight, then you can invest in a good quality storefront sign first and then add extra signage as the funds become available.
STEP 2: CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIGNAGE COMPANY TO WORK WITH
There are many companies that do custom business signs, so how can you know which one is the best choice for you. Here are some tips to follow:
Choose a full-service company: It's better to work with a company that can design, manufacture, install, and maintain your signage for you. A full-service company will work with you form the start to the completion of your signage.
They will know what you want because they helped you design it, they will make it to your exact specifications, and they will know how to best install and maintain it, because they made it.
Choose a local company: Working with a local company has great benefits as well. They will be familiar with any signage bylaws in your area so you can be sure that your signs will be built according to those guidelines and they will know what permits or other paperwork is required and will help you obtain those.
If anything goes wrong, it's easier to contact a local company than one that is located far away.
Choose a company with experience and a good reputation: You want to find a company that has lots of experience in the signage industry and that has made the type of signage that you want for your business.
Check out the past projects that they have done and check out their online reviews to see what their customers think about their work.
STEP 3: CHOOSE THE RIGHT DESIGN FOR YOUR SIGNAGE
Now that you know how much you can spend and what company you want to work with, it's time to design your signage. Here are some things to consider when choosing your design.
Think about your demographic: If you are targeting a certain type of customer, then you will want to have signage that will appeal to them.
For example, if your demographic is a younger audience, then choose fun and lively colours, fonts, images, and a message that will appeal to that generation. If your demographic is a more traditional then you probably want to choose more traditional colours, images, fonts and messages.
Tell your signage company what demographic you are targeting and they can help you design the right type of signage for that market.
Make sure your signage is visible: Your signage can be an effective advertising tool, but only if it can be seen. Make sure that your sign is large enough to be seen from the distance that you want and that the fonts are easy to read with lettering big enough and properly spaced apart.
If you are in a dark corner or if you want customers to see your signage at night, then you should choose backlit or another type of illumination for your sign.
The colours that you choose also play an important part in making your signage more visible. You want to choose colours with high contrast in both hue and value. If you use high contrasting colours then then can be seen from greater distances than low contrasting colours.
According to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America, "research demonstrates that high colour contrast can improve outdoor advertising recall by 38 percent." Black on yellow and black on white are two very high contrasting colour combinations whereas red on yellow and white on red have a very low contrast.
Choose the right materials: Your signage company can help you choose the right types of materials to use in your sign. Let them know how long you want your sign to last and where it will be put up as this will help determine the best type of materials to use. Some options include:
If your text is too crowded and too long, it will be more difficult to read especially by passing motorists. It is a good idea to leave about 30 to 40 percent of your signage space blank.

2024.05.20 06:26 gotta-earn-it Notable information from all the booths I visited at the NRA convention, for gun nerds
Some of this isn't completely CCW related but most is. I mean some people conceal carry an AR, right? Much of the day is a blur in my memory and my notes here are just what I can recall. Also, a lot of this isn't breaking news but it's new to me and I find it interesting enough.
Major handgun companies:
Other industry companies:
One takeaway I have is it feels like everyone's rushing to put cans on the market, and the bigger companies are rushing to find an answer to Huxwrx and CAT.
submitted by gotta-earn-it to CCW [link] [comments]
Major handgun companies:
- Beretta - got to handle the new LTT Px4, awesome. Also tried the APX, an FCU cousin with the P320, trigger reminded me of a P320...
- Bersa - meh
- CZ - fondled all the basic models
- FN - fondled all the basic models
- Glock - I'm pretty familiar already, no need to fondle. They were there.
- HK - didn't see that new micro compact SFP9CC. Might have missed due to tunnel vision, but that's the only thing I was really interested in.
- RIA - Tried and learned about the RIA 5.0. Very nice hammer-fired trigger and smooth feel. Wish I could shoot one. They're still figuring out if and how they can suppress it. ~$2000
- Ruger - meh
- S&W - The M&P 2.0 and PDP felt tied for best striker-fired trigger in my flawed experience
- Springfield - got to try the Echelon. Is it just me or do all FCU-type triggers feel the same?
- Staccato - Probably the best hammer-fired triggers, no surprise
- Walther - The M&P 2.0 and PDP felt tied for best striker-fired trigger in my flawed experience
Other industry companies:
- Aimpoint were very nice people. Say something bad about Holosun they might do you a favor.
- Amend2 offers a modular AR stock with optional storage attachments that I thought was cool. Also had exclusive magazines with a special "Buc-ee's wearing nods" print. Unfortunately online reviews are too sparse, and straight up negative, respectively.
- Bering Optics - I might consider one of their thermal scopes. Not bad prices for American-made. The rep hadn't heard about the new Biden regulations on Chinese imports of thermal gear
- Eotech had their OGL and wide-angle nods on display in the corner, with no other info.
- Griffin is developing new cans that are somewhat more flow thru-like, they claim better than Huxwrx etc.
- Holosun - got to look through the famous thermal red dot, was pretty cool. A convention isn't a very realistic testing environment, but I pointed it at the ceiling several hundred feet away and it still detected and displayed thermal signatures so it can probably do the same for a hog at that distance. They also got a new plus-sized AEMS, the AEMS Max. I didn't think to ask them about the Biden regulations.
- Huxwrx - new flow thru 22 can. I didn't know this but the Ventum has a removable end cap and removable core, I thought it was just a 556k clone with HUB. I forgot to ask them about any plans for a 3D printed 9mm can which I'd like to see replace the Rad 9.
- Magpul has a new AR stock that looks cool and Hop is interested in it.
- Next Level Armament, the AR parts company, is releasing a line of suppressors. The baffles are removable cups with flow-thru geometry, made of stainless, TiN-coated. The body is Aluminum, with end cap venting. There's a 5.56 model and a 300 BLK/9mm model. Looking forward to evaluations.
- N-Vision had heard about the Biden regulations.
- PSA had the "5.7 MP7" and the thumper on display, and free coffee.
- Shield Arms - I learned about their grip chop service for a G43x to make it G43-sized, which can then accept their short S10 magazines that hold 10 rounds (and don't fit in a real G43). Confusingly, they also have the Z9 mags for a stock G43, with 9 rd capacity. Unfortunately I got distracted and missed the perfect opportunity to compare both systems side by side.
- Sig - huge booth, nothing super interesting to me except the Romeo X enclosed red dot. Seems like the only competitor to the Holosun EPS Carry. I like it so far but need to see reviews on it.
- Silencer Shop was mainly there to submit backorders, insane.
- SilencerCo - I asked 4 different people about the Spectre 9K. Some implied I wasn't supposed to know about it yet. They won't even think about dropping it until they're done with backorders, so not anytime soon.
- Spyderco - they had Yojimbo's for sale in multiple sizes. Those are manually folding pocketknives that are designed somewhat for self defense. The smallest jimbo is around 2" long and would be perfect as an almost-50-state-legal CCW knife. ~$200
- TNVC - Got into long conversation about the $4600 helmet rails. The most notable thing I learned is a dozen or two civilians have ordered them, which surprised even the rep.
- UNITY - I'm familiar with all their other stuff but I didn't know they make scope mounts, they're I think 2.2" tall and it feels very natural to find the eyebox. They also accept attachments similar to Badger mounts.
- YHM - I was surprised to learn the Turbo T3 has no external venting, only internal venting for backpressure reduction.
One takeaway I have is it feels like everyone's rushing to put cans on the market, and the bigger companies are rushing to find an answer to Huxwrx and CAT.

2024.05.20 06:23 Kayxluna Any advise on how to focus on studying?
Hey all. I'm having some trouble with getting over a mental blockade that's hindering me from going full throttle with studying for this exam. I graduated with my bachelor's in bio with a concentration in premed + minor in psych with a 3.84 GPA in 2022. Then graduated from paramedic school in 2023 and now I'm a nationally registered + state-licensed paramedic. I have field experience with riding out with the fire department and even ran cardiac arrests in the field with the fire medic crew. On top of that, I had to do a ton of clinical rotations in the Etriage/med surge/trauma/PICU at 3 different hospitals. I collected some experience at a cadevar lab recently which further solidified how I am completely unbothered by seeing inside the body and the associated bodily substances (I also figured that out in the field when I was on airway during an arrest and had vomit come up onto me). My goal is to be a surgeon (considering either plastics or cardio surgery; paramedic made me love cardio after learning how to read ecgs and memorizing the drug algorithms). I love medicine and by no means do I want to stay at the paramedic level. I've told myself since undergrad that surgeon is the goal. I just can't get over this mental fortitude that's making me avoid studying. I'm VERY disciplined when it comes to studying, once I sit down, it's all over. I commit. I just find myself doing everything and anything but sitting down. I'm currently attending online Kaplan MCAT sessions every Wednesday and I do pay attention. I had a good start with reviewing my biochemistry, was reading the books, made flashcards. But now I'm slacking big time.
P.S - I'm currently not working as a paramedic. I have a recent offer to work as an associate clinical lab scientist. It seems low-stress and something I can easily manage doing (also sounds cool). Signed up to volunteer for hospice and children's centers too.
ANY advice would be appreciated. I want MD. I do. I just need the kick in my butt to get on the ball.

2024.05.20 06:23 Sunflower27Tea I think my bf’s coworker likes him but I’m not sure how to bring it up to him?
My (22F) boyfriend (26M) has a female coworker who he is friends with and I’ve had this feeling for a while that she likes him. I’ve never really had this feeling or been jealous like this before and so I’m not sure how to bring it up to him. They’re friends and have hung out with other coworkers outside of work a couple of times and I was fine with stuff like that. There are a few things though that have led me to think that she has feelings for him. My bf doesn’t really do a lot for his birthday and gifts are not a big deal to him, but last year she got him a gift from a show he likes, while other coworkers didn’t get him anything. (This was just weird to me because I wouldn’t do this for a coworker unless they were having a party or something) She messages him quite a bit, he doesn’t respond much or will just react to the message. We’ve gone over to his workplace on his off days and his coworkers will come and say hi to him and this girl will be excited to hear that he’s there and then the minute she sees me, she gets visibly less excited. We went to the movies with a few of his coworkers and this girl and his parents happened to be there the same night, before the movie started he briefly pointed out his coworkers to his parents and most of them just waved to his parents, she got up and introduced herself to them. Most recently, she joined this online game that my bf plays, I’m not a big fan of shooting games so I don’t play this with him but they’ve been playing and I found out that it’s just been the two of them playing when they were supposed to be playing with another coworker of theirs.
Am I overthinking/ looking too much into this? And if not, how do I bring this up to him? Thank you for any advice in advance!

2024.05.20 06:23 CakeEaterGames Hiding secrets in QR codes.
 | TLDR Before you get your hopes up, this is a failed experiment, a dead end. But I still think this is worth sharing. Here's my experience. submitted by CakeEaterGames to Fez [link] [comments] For a while I had a theory that there could be something hidden inside the QR codes. To hide something in a QR code you could flip some bits in it. Because of error correction of most QR scanners your secret message would be ignored and autocorrected. Here's an example of what I mean. I will use this website to create the QRs https://www.nayuki.io/page/qr-code-generator-library https://preview.redd.it/fa8yfp5bbi1d1.png?width=290&format=png&auto=webp&s=3f8453e0f8c03f1d592fae5c63612fc6fb5805ca Same scan result BUT now there IS a secret inside If you scan these 2 QR codes you will get the same result, BUT the second one contains a secret message. To extract it, you can overlay the FAKE qr code on top of a REAL one and see the difference (xor the bits) https://preview.redd.it/qmksk8kdbi1d1.png?width=290&format=png&auto=webp&s=fba59ad800ea600b3e323f07168e7f8cc656aca4 2 QR code overlapped with opacity But this is not the only method. You can actually rewrite the ENTIRE right half of a QR code. Just straight up erase all black pixels and replace them with your black pixels and put any information that you want. The right side of the QR code contains the MESSAGE but the left side contains information on how to RECOVER the information on the right side in case it would be lost. (reminds me of a certain map in the game... hmmmm) lol here's a second monolith code If you don't know how QR codes work you should read about them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code or watch https://youtu.be/KA8hDldvfv0?si=4E1pbu9CCVM0N4Be very interesting stuff (if you're a nerd xd) So what was that all about? How is this relevant to FEZ? Well, how can we be sure that there's nothing hidden in the QR codes in the game? Your QR scanner is doing its job and correcting all the errors it can find. Here is what I did: https://preview.redd.it/16y86nwy4i1d1.png?width=128&format=png&auto=webp&s=167268548365ec641d0e119591575fbd39d50681 https://preview.redd.it/lbz0anwy4i1d1.png?width=128&format=png&auto=webp&s=d1010b6d228fb45b30ab7397f4c679856f1720d1 https://preview.redd.it/3lo3kqxy4i1d1.png?width=128&format=png&auto=webp&s=d72103cdf97c82e57fac59ed4b1480868ff9074e https://preview.redd.it/71c2onwy4i1d1.png?width=128&format=png&auto=webp&s=12ba47b8a1f2232e6f521a05896e42bb5ff2b4bb https://preview.redd.it/xtm9xnwy4i1d1.png?width=256&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c2d02d1f630f3159da4f41298984d1adbcd7a70 https://preview.redd.it/orqz7nwy4i1d1.png?width=384&format=png&auto=webp&s=8fe30ce347f4272eb7e8e9414029974c3ed16b2f https://preview.redd.it/w7halayy4i1d1.png?width=384&format=png&auto=webp&s=df51256f6be817e5078dbe0c54a869467a4158ea https://preview.redd.it/v1maymwy4i1d1.png?width=384&format=png&auto=webp&s=c91ec04d92a0b9d741592e6b3fb94e6fd78be8d0 https://preview.redd.it/k9hemmwy4i1d1.png?width=128&format=png&auto=webp&s=5f20ebebcb480d286835a25be9b191ecdcea1fd0 https://preview.redd.it/xb3z6owy4i1d1.png?width=128&format=png&auto=webp&s=9329241d2224790f6304af4cbc7549701fd004e2 https://preview.redd.it/jkl5sowy4i1d1.png?width=128&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4e88d63f50de2fa08b07e8b6d5f3d5750c75849 https://preview.redd.it/of350nwy4i1d1.png?width=128&format=png&auto=webp&s=ca1787d04f6b8f48ae2430f28cfa3863a5fa58e1 I extracted every single QR code from the game and attempted to find errors in them.
https://preview.redd.it/24kkkeg66i1d1.png?width=365&format=png&auto=webp&s=7422a1c25407b4cf22414ebb72e50fb0f150f9ea https://preview.redd.it/2eya8rda6i1d1.png?width=384&format=png&auto=webp&s=b60ce69d9bd3063221c7bd012eae8318d4a2aa79 This is called a remainder sector (last sector). It comes after all the meaningful information in the QR code. Basically (as far as I'm aware) it's garbage data and it can contain anything. Was this all a waste of time? Not really, now we all know that there's really nothing in there. And now I know how qr codes work (: p.s. before I figured out the method I described earlier, I attempted to decode the QR codes by hand, with a python script. I went quite far. but then I realized that you can just generate another code with the same input parameters. |

I apologize in advance for the length of this behemoth Story time Reddit: Last night I was chilling at a camp grounds in upstate NYC and this really cute bartender was on her first day ever for the job, anyways I didn’t even notice her until a community dinner at 6pm when she got some food and went to the bar to get ready for the night because us folks at the camp were gonna party till LATE I’m 18M turning 19 and I had aspirations to be a bartender myself in the familiar country of Mexico where my family operates a gin booze business. she 22F just turned and I was eager to Yk like ask her how her first day on the jobs going right? Now I time goes by we all just chilling having dinner and our rolls out some Gigachad kitchen employees with dessert and everybody fiends the fucking ice cream sandwich bars and I hastily think about the fellow bartenders out the back of the building (it’s the girl I’m taking about whose new and one other girl whom is basically her chaperone because they are her aunt) approach the bar with 2 ice cream sandwiches asking if they wanted the last stock of what remained of dessert 😂 they politely decline and I just give them away to my boys and walk back to the main cafeteria area and around 5 minutes pass people start to clear out and I not really a drinker and not of age to drink in the US (although I have been to other countries to bars that you don’t need to be 21 to drink all fine) Sit down at the bar with the 2 bartender ladies, i start yapping about all the musical bullshit I do in life and the video game I’m developing and whatnot and that’s why I came up to nature to record the ambient sounds for my project idk why BUT then when I realize is that the girl whose new’s eyes fixated on me intensely full German stare and I’m kinda intimidated ngl, so ofc as a good bartender would ask, they ask if I want anything to drink and i politely decline because I wasn’t really thirsty 💀 We start to just chat a bit I ask about how their day went and then that’s when I realize the new girl whose bartending it’s her first day and she’s absolutely drunk out the wazoo, I feel kind of bad because she was about to just go take a walk break and I saw she could barely even move straight 💀 so I ask “so what are some good things to do around here?” They reply really excited that before it gets too dark (somehow they say that and it’s already becoming 8:30 and dark at out) I should go to this really pretty creek waterfall and the absolutely double whammy hammered chick volunteers to take me. Now me skeptical af and realizing that either A, she can’t keep her eyes of me because she’s deadbeat drunk or B, she thinks I’m cute and wants to know me this is why she offered to take me to a cool place. I accept and I have to walk this girl out the bar because she’s in heels and bouncing all over the place. We make it to a downhill section we have to cross and I see her struggling and ask if she needs a hand and she hastily accepts, next thing up her arms are basically spaghetti and rolling with the wind as we make it down this hill her holding onto me for dear life. We start to walk a bit and I start to ask the big legal concern questions that us “technically inclined” men ask like “How old are you” “Do you have a boyfriend?” And “Are you in school?” I eventually get all these answers and we by some will of god walk up to an abandoned dark horror movie looking ass tipi (basically this ⛺️ thing for u non cultured swines) for some reason my hood senses start tingling and the white girl slasher film mindset goes into my mind like “Why the fuck am I about to go in there?” But hey YOLO why not go into creepy dark crowded place with drunk girl? We waltz up into that bitch looking like injured bank robbers clobbering all over the ground because the ground muddy and we can barely fit into the small opening of it, point is in there she starts basically interviewing me fucking speed run piers style and I answer being sober decently competent. Me not trying to make her feel uncomfortable turn my flashlight on to scout the area and we realize there’s some makeshift bench in there so we have a seat. She doesn’t like the fact the lights on and then she asks “do you want to kiss” and proceeds to inform me I’m a weirdo for turning on the light. Now I’m like: “ aight what the fuck girl like it’s dark spooky af out the hell u want me to do get mauled by spiders in this Native American trap house? Then Yk me never had a girlfriend and curious accepts her kiss offer and right as we are about to friggin kiss a RANDOM ASS NPC COUPLE SPAWNS IN AND JUST WALKS UP TO OUR FUCKING TIPI! What are the fucking odds bro, like it’s pitch black basically out and I’m in the middle of the woods, now they see us (we look hella sus at that moment) and kinda just walk away after being like “ooooh cool!” But anyways I get a pretty Alr first kiss, get insulted for being a horrible kisser and walk it off quoting myself “Bro it’s cuz I’m a Libra right?” Jokingly anyways we kinda talk a bit she enlightens me on some personal facts and me too, I ask if she’s had a boyfriend and she says yeah I would had asked how many but didn’t weirdly enough and she’s asked me then if I had ever had a girlfriend and I respond honestly that nope I haven’t and she doesn’t buy it, she thinks I’m lying. She then proceeds to ask me how tall I am and me being a tall ass mf for my race i respond “6 foot 3” and she’s like DAMNNNNNNN ewwww. I’m dying of laughter and ask what’s wrong. I never get a response 😭 Anyways she then decides to empty her pockets and she came for some reason with basically a mythical rarity load out of pocket loot. 2 Cinnamon booze plastic shots, lip gloss, chapstick and a cart. Now me being the worlds biggest glorified coward who never smoked and almost never drinks was amazed she had all this shit on her. I ask her how much she had to drink tonight and she told me how for every drink she served she also drank (idk why tf weird flex but ok?) we then kinda decide to go out of the tent because all of a sudden she wants to explore the pitch black woods when we both have very little phone battery left for flashlight. I think in my sober mind that’s a horrible idea and I remember in the back of my mind we had to be back in an hour from like 8:30pm and I remind her assuming she will have it into account but fail to realize SHES DRUNK AF AND CANT PROCESS SHIT!!! Anyways we walk around the creek bed and eventually we have a seat and just weirdly enough lay down watch the stars and talk about romantic stuff, she is very kind all of a sudden and we are just laughing wholeheartedly and enjoying ourselves and occasionally she tries to sloppily kiss me and I’m kinda just laying there like : 🙃. But yeah we there doing all that and then she somehow convinced me to do shots of the weird spicy booze she brought and I was very nervous and almost about to fully fold because I had a lot of important things in my life impending in the coming days and I didn’t want to fuck something up being drunk (not knowing myself if I’m a lightweight or heavyweight drinker) We each do one and I’m kinda there lying paralyzed and shivering in my boots not because of the alcohol but because of the nerves I am chilling with a girl on a beauty of a night next to some lovely sounding creek noises and making out. Me being the newbie I am just go along with anything she says or does because I’m not trying to blow what I have going Yk. But yeah time passes we just there on essentially natures lawn hugging and kissing and talking about cute life aspirations and then I have to break the hard news to her, I inform her I won’t be staying around long by any means ( I leave the next day back to da hood for school) and I feel so bad inside! Like this girl even age difference aside whatever was very kind and I didn’t want to ruin what we had going so I try and explain how I would try to visit her and later the next day I am able to check that tickets cost roughly $50 for one ways to the town she lives in and takes 2 hours and a half something if me for love I was able to do im down ig… Now as a recap: She knows I live super duper far away, She and I both understand we don’t want to ruin what we have and we are trying to see how we can keep this going. I hear someone scream her voice and then I’m like Awww shit ur in trouble right? I check my phone and it’s MOTHERFUCKING 11PM!!!! I’m like OH SHIT WE BEEN GONE A WHILE DAMNNN, I pull her up off the ground and try to get her to her aunt who I assumed was looking for her and then we sadly said it last farewell quickly. She kisses me and then she gets yoinked and chewed tf outta by basically her big auntie bartender me feeling horrible and all because I was so immature not checking the time, I walk up to her to take responsibility for the situation and not be a beta male type character she asks me all of a sudden if I’m “ok or hurt” and I say yeah I’m fine and then she walks away and for some reason my good manners and habits kick in as I quietly shout “good night” and she shouts back “yeah good fucking night!” Slams the door with my newfound friend and they both gone. I feel real bad for the situation but hey it already happened, and I then find out from some of my fellow campers that she was threatening essentially to call the state police because people have gotten lost in the woods but in my head I’m like NUH UH I GOT S TIER GOD MEMORY!!! Anyways I do have the girl I was withs number I message her apologizing for not being more responsible and whatnot and then a lot of time happens from there on. I go to bed at 1:30am, wake up the next morning at 6:57am and I’m worried because she hasn’t responded. I paranoid and feeling like a hopeless romantic sit around stressing for hours until BOOM I get off a call checking up with my moms who was out of town get a message from my dear bartender girl! I’m beyond ecstatic and try to see if we can say goodbye because I have to go so soon that same day (today as I’m writing this) we try to compromise and plan but sadly it doesn’t work out for us and we just don’t get a well deserved farewell. I feel truly defeated and depressed about it and people I’m with are speculating how I have barely eaten in all the hours I have been up today. I reply it’s that m stresses but don’t go into detail trying to avoid ancontroversial discussion. This girls name is Sofia and I as I hope a constituted decent person hope I can keep this relationship but there are a few obstacles. 1, she lives 2 hours best case scenario from me. 2, she doesn’t really answer my messages until very late after I send them (for example i message her 12:30 she responds then doesn’t respond until past 5pm same day) and It’s hard to have a relationship with flawed communication I can see. Now for me I have always wanted to find love but never really succeeded in it and I’m truly just grateful for having any experience like this at all and I want to hear feedback from fellow guys and girl as to what I should do to keep this a respectful and responsible relationship you know?
Sincerely and looking forward to feedback, K
