I started by dimming the north-facing windows, slowly enough to merely catch Kregorim's attention; he responded by turning his head to face them and letting his bushy eyebrows rise a bit, but generally keeping a neutral stance. Then, I animated a glowing white dot appearing on the duskward wall at roughly chest-height to my new visitor, then extending it vertically into a line, then expanding it laterally into a door. Then, I let my avatar open it 'from his side', walk through, and close it again.
“I'm called Joachim,” I said, animating the avatar's mouth to match my movements, along with rubbing the back of his head with his left hand. “And I have to say that that spell of yours was... an interesting experience.”
Kregorim nodded and offered a stiff bow. “Then we would seem to have been equal partners in the exchange,” he answered, the barest trace of a twinkle in what I could pick up of his eyes; if he had anything like a smirk under that thicket of facial hair, I couldn't detect it. “So, are there any other introductions to be made? Exchanges of oaths or demands for sacrifices, things of that nature?”
I chuckled, and pointed at the fabricators behind him. “Introductions, certainly. No sacrifices of baubles or blood, if that was what you expected. But I'd advise you to get some practice in making your own furniture. It'll take a bit of explaining, even if I try to trim it down.”
Kregorim nodded, and this time I could definitely hear a chuckle in his voice. “I would be highly disappointed were that not the case, Joachim of the mysterious outpost,” he answered. He gestured at the fabricators. “Would you mind offering a weary old scholar some assistance with these marvelous machines?”
I animated the avatar nodding, then waving at the walls. “You may have noticed that the chambers in which your...” the avatar coughed into one hand, then continued, “... Lord Zortemos Egenor Lignignory the Fourth has been settling have those empty frames on the walls of each room?” The avatar pointed off to one side, and a simplified version of the baseline model of the communication-screens appeared a handsbreadth away from his finger. “I can see and hear through them, and they have other functions as well, but this unit specifically includes the fullest expression of the tool.”
With that, I 'jumped' the avatar onto the dawnward wall of the utility room, releasing another light coughing sound to let Kregorim know where 'he' had gone. “This way, at least, I won't need to raise my voice so it carries further...”
Kregorim turned out to be a very quick study. I walked him through designing some new clothes, starting from the base model of a Chinese scholastic robe but incorporating a three layers of lighter fabric in something more akin to a Japanese kimono. Yes, I helped him figure out some more practical forms of undergarments, and the very concept of 'elastic' fascinated him; I left a mental note to explore 'latex' and the organic sources thereof with him at some later point. And, of course, getting to the first pair of suitable 'house slippers' presented no challenge at all.
Still, I satisfied his curiosity about the need for five 'magic trunks' in rather short order, and once he got into his own set of 'wondrous finery' he tossed his 'traveling robes and unmentionables' into the 'laundry' trunk. Once he'd gotten the remaining machines programmed for things like a camp-cot and bedding, a chair and writing desk and a samovar of all things, I sort of walked him through the rest of the unit's features.
“Quite an array of tankards,” he commented, in the kitchen. “Stocked well enough to entertain guests of a stature from Orks all the way down to Gnomes, unless I'm very much mistaken.”
I animated the avatar nodding. “I'll need to explain more about that, but you and the rest of the group aren't my first guests.”
He nodded, and turned to face the avatar; his smile was wide enough to re-arrange the forest of his facial hair. “I'll try to keep from disappointing Lord Zee overmuch on the point,” he said, then turned to face the refrigerator. “Another magic trunk?” he asked, examining it without touching it. “Wider than the others... does this one produce foodstuffs?”
“Not produce them, as such, but it does serve as a 'cold well', of sorts. The upper section keeps things moderately cool, the lower section keeps them frozen.”
That got another look of wonder out of him. “You can maintain ice in there, without magic?” he asked, pulling out the freezer-drawer and confirming it for himself. “What manner of foods are these?” he went on, examining the squared, shrink-wrapped blocks and rounded tubs.
“Soups, meats, and vegetables, for the most part. The rounded tubs are sort of an experiment for a dessert.”
“I don't suppose you could allow a hungry traveler something a bit more substantial?”
“You skipped past the cold box,” I pointed out. “I've been experimenting with various kinds of meats as well as vegetable dishes...”
“Soups of some sort...?” he asked, closing the freezer-drawer and opening the refrigerator. He paused, visibly confused, before extracting one of the wrapped and sealed 'meal bowls', turning it to examine it from three different angles, then replacing it to examine another, and then another. Finally, he selected one and turned to face the avatar. “The lid has markings resembling words, but I cannot say with confidence that I comprehend them precisely,” he said. “What is meant by... 'Pasta Salad Experiment Number 8'... if you don't mind?”
The avatar pointed. “The silverware you'll probably want is in the second drawer from the end,” I said. “As far as your question is concerned, I have... several different kinds of farms in the spaces below the living quarters up here on the surface, and a rather large library of information from my home that permits me to make approximations of a small but growing number of food.” I added a slight blush to the avatar's cheeks. “I have no capacity to taste or smell things, at least as you or the others might, so I have no idea whether you'll find it appetizing. All I can tell you is that I have a limited stock of various spices in the cabinet just to the right of this box, which is known as a 'refrigerator' in my language. If you feel the need to repay me for my hospitality, you're welcome to help me learn the names for the spices while we talk.”
Kregorim devoured the first salad, admitting between bites that the Lignignory family's exit from the Ducal lands to the south had been somewhat hurried and therefore their dining-experiences had been something of a gamble. “We've managed to trade for many things as we head north,” he commented. He had figured out how to get clean drinking water from the kitchen sink into an Ork-scaled flagon without much prompting, and after swallowing five mouthfuls proceeded to turn his attention to the salad. I explained the basic ingredients and principles of 'pasta', as he considered a segment of neo-rotini on his fork. He ate it, a thoughtful expression on his face, eventually dubbing it 'surprisingly flavorful'.
From there, I walked him through an explanation of the 'dish washer' and 'stove' before guiding him through a simple tour of the rest of the house. The bathroom intrigued him, but he expressed even greater fascination with the barbecue on the back patio, especially the 'fuel pellets' I provided in sealed bags from one of the lower shelves.
“Why bother with such means, when these other amazing machines can cook food with greater precision?” he asked.
“My function, the reason I exist, is to help people recover from disasters,” I answered, when he came back inside from admiring the stonework of the patio handrails. “If they happen to be more comfortable cooking their own food over a fire, I want to help them do so. Hence, the cookfire station out there. It's called a 'barbecue grill' in my language, by the way.”
“...'Your language'...” he repeated, returning to the main room and settling down into his chair with a flagon of water in his right hand. “You've also mentioned 'your home' at least once in my hearing. May I ask where you come from?”
Hoo, boy. Tough questions...
“I'm from a lot further away than you might think, to begin with,” I explained. The avatar pointed south with his right hand, in the general direction of one of the four moons glowing in the sky. “For one thing, I'm from a place with only one moon.” The avatar tapped 'his side' of the wall with the other, and an equatorial-perspective image of Earth showing North and South America along with a portion of Antarctica down at the bottom. “This is a special kind of illusion, showing details of my home from far above its surface,” I explained.
Kregorim's eyes widened and he took a long pull from his flagon. “Seas, forests, deserts, mountains, wintry wastelands,” he murmured, attention moving from one detail to the next, until finally he straightened up in his chair. “... None of the lands with which I have knowledge appear here,” he stated. “And I suspect that this globe's other face will reveal similar mysteries.”
I animated the avatar shrugging. “Likely.”
I considered my next words very carefully. “Since I arrived here, 24 days ago, I have watched the heavens as best I can. From what I have discerned, the local star... or your sun... is measurably different than mine. I haven't been able to pick out any local planets yet, but I can say for certain that if any of the stars in your sky are the ones my people had cataloged, they're too far away for me to positively identify as such.”
Kregorim took that in, eyebrows twitching, and drained his flagon dry. He took it away from his mouth with a scowl, directed at the offending drinkware, but reduced its intensity before turning back to address the avatar. “I don't suppose you've managed to produce anything like a good strong ale since you've arrived?” he asked. “Our own supplies of such things are unlikely to be fit for drinking.”
I animated the avatar raising an eyebrow and waggling a finger. “I've none available, alas, though I do have some rather promising teas,” I told him. “You'll need to fabricate a teapot, though.”
He got up and proceeded to do so. As he did, I continued, “As far as your assessment of whatever ale you've managed to carry with you, I would ask you to ask the servants to pour whatever portion of it they wish to discard into the nearest convenient sink. Hopefully, you'll be able to get the word to them before they reach that stage of unloading.”
The avatar flicked the image of Earth away, then tapped 'his side' of the wall four more times. With each one, a new visual-window opened: one displaying the view just outside the foyer, another the main stairwell from the camera on the half-step just above the second-floor landing, the third the first-floor walkway (identifiable as such by the view of Lord Zee bustling in and out of the doorway to 'his' quarters, giving directions to the flow of 'servants') and the final one the view of the ground-floor walkway.
Up among the caravan, Thusarrel acted as a kind of traffic-director, guiding groups of servants with gestures and shouts to one wagon after another, in an order that made no particular sense to me. The 'flackaroos' stayed in the center, managed by three ragged-looking folk who seemed to know what they were doing; they also hurried to rake up any droppings as quickly as possible, out of the foot-traffic of the flow of servants carrying as mismatched a collection of luggage, furniture, decor and miscellany as ever came out of an estate sale. Kregorim's wagon remained mostly ignored, though the stair-steps remained down.
On the main staircase, Adallinda and Pippa made their way downward, the 'lady' scowling at the lines of servants passing her in both directions and flowing around her too-wide dress as smoothly as possible. Pippa guided her charge to frequent rest stops on the half-landings, sparing a moment here and there to nod back at the silent looks of gratitude from the luggage-bearing people.
“You're certain that my greedy brothers have both gone for the chambers adjacent to my father's, Pippa?” Adallida demanded.
Her servant nodded once, then offered her hand to help steer the young lady back into the flow of foot-traffic. “Of course, my lady, “ she answered. “They both wish for the honor of being physically closest to your father's chosen quarters, though your cousin and sister
On the first-floor view, from the camera opposite the service staircase and now pointing toward the lobby, I just caught a glimpse of Bhiocasaid shepherding Zoti into the second 'double unit' on the first floor, Yera and Totra actually holding the somnambulent Zoti while Bhiocasaid held off Nehdud and Haruinn as they protested the two ladies staking their claim ahead of the 'more worthy young lords' of the family.
“We're not sharing quarters with you beasts, and that's simply that!” she shouted at them. “If you want your own choice of suitable quarters, you'd better get down to the ground-floor and claim one before Adallinda does!”
The boys blinked at her, then looked at each other. Nehdud spun on his heel and raced back to the cliff-face lounge area, shoving his way through the flow of servants. I winced as I watched him making half-hearted goo-goo eyes and kissy-faces at whichever of them had obviously female shapes under their travel-rags. The female servants burdened with effects, even boxes the size of filled shopping bags that couldn't possibly require two people to hold, found themselves getting extra help to disguise both women's use of the item in question as a makeshift shield against his efforts. However slowly he was moving, though, he still made faster progress than Haruinn could possibly manage.
Adallinda's voice rang out from below, shrieking in triumph. Through the final view-window, Kregorim and I observed as she managed to slap her hand on the not-glass biometric scanner next to the door to the lower double-unit, Pippa now holding the sweating lady up and maneuvering her through the door, a line of six servants carrying baggage behind them.
Nehdud pushed through the line of servants to stand in front of the handrail, slamming his fist on the stone with one hand and snarling. Then he turned to look at Haruinn, noting his near-complete lack of movement, and his rage turned to a grin. He waved at his rival for the remaining double-suite, then resumed his efforts to force his way through the flows of servants.
Haruinn clenched his fists, until Midmolk pointed at the 'service stairway' just next to the now-claimed double-unit. “Their position matches something similar on the door below, master,” he pointed out.
Haruinn nodded, clanking his way to them at best possible speed, Midmolk following with the tower-shield. The Lignignory male slapped his hand on the palm-scanner; I granted him temporary access, mostly because I wanted to see if he could possibly beat that smarmy Nehdud if he had a clearer path. The young man succeeded in surprising me by gesturing at Midmolk, who handed him the tower-shield. He proceeded to ride it down the two half-flights of stairs like a sled, scraping the heck out of the finish and arriving at the ground-floor before Nehdud made it all the way through the lobby.
Haruinn pushed himself to his apparent limit, huffing and red-faced, as he quick-marched with all of that extra metal on his front to reach the palm-scanner and slap his hand on it.
Just as Nehdud threw open the door from the ground-floor lobby to see him do it.
The knife-burdened man strode into his doorway while Nehdud sank to his knees with a frustrated scream.

Mission Log: Day 0024
Addendum 04
Well. The jig would seem to be up, as the old folks used to say. I started by dimming the north-facing windows, slowly enough to merely catch Kregorim's attention; he responded by turning his head to face them and letting his bushy eyebrows rise a bit, but generally keeping a neutral stance.

2024.05.20 09:14 LouisDeconinck How good are the 10 most popular Excel functions
On the official Microsoft website covering every single function in Excel, they have a list of the 10 most popular Excel functions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/excel-functions-by-category-5f91f4e9-7b42-46d2-9bd1-63f26a86c0eb
They are: SUM, IF, LOOKUP, VLOOKUP, MATCH, CHOOSE, DATE, DAYS, FOND & INDEX.
Here's what they do.
SUM: Adds all the numbers in a range of cells. For example, =SUM(A1:A10) calculates the total of values from A1 to A10.
IF: Performs a logical test and returns one value if the test is true and another if it is false. For example, =IF(A1>B1, "Over Budget", "OK") checks if A1 is greater than B1 and returns "Over Budget" if true, otherwise "OK".
LOOKUP: Searches for a value in a vector or array and returns a value from the same position in another vector or array. For example, =LOOKUP(4.19, A2:A6, B2:B6) looks for 4.19 in the range A2:A6 and returns the corresponding value from B2:B6
VLOOKUP: Searches for a value in the first column of a table and returns a value in the same row from a specified column. For example, =VLOOKUP(A1, B1:D10, 2, FALSE) looks for A1 in the first column of the range B1:D10 and returns the value in the second column of the found row.
MATCH: Searches for a specified value in a range and returns the relative position of that value within the range. For example, =MATCH(39, B1:B10, 0) returns the position of 39 in the range B1:B10.
CHOOSE: Returns a value from a list of values based on an index number. For example, =CHOOSE(2, "Apple", "Banana", "Cherry") returns "Banana" because it is the second item in the list.
DATE: Creates a date from individual year, month, and day components. For example, =DATE(2024, 5, 20) returns the date May 20, 2024.

They are: SUM, IF, LOOKUP, VLOOKUP, MATCH, CHOOSE, DATE, DAYS, FOND & INDEX.
Here's what they do.
SUM: Adds all the numbers in a range of cells. For example, =SUM(A1:A10) calculates the total of values from A1 to A10.
IF: Performs a logical test and returns one value if the test is true and another if it is false. For example, =IF(A1>B1, "Over Budget", "OK") checks if A1 is greater than B1 and returns "Over Budget" if true, otherwise "OK".
LOOKUP: Searches for a value in a vector or array and returns a value from the same position in another vector or array. For example, =LOOKUP(4.19, A2:A6, B2:B6) looks for 4.19 in the range A2:A6 and returns the corresponding value from B2:B6
VLOOKUP: Searches for a value in the first column of a table and returns a value in the same row from a specified column. For example, =VLOOKUP(A1, B1:D10, 2, FALSE) looks for A1 in the first column of the range B1:D10 and returns the value in the second column of the found row.
MATCH: Searches for a specified value in a range and returns the relative position of that value within the range. For example, =MATCH(39, B1:B10, 0) returns the position of 39 in the range B1:B10.
CHOOSE: Returns a value from a list of values based on an index number. For example, =CHOOSE(2, "Apple", "Banana", "Cherry") returns "Banana" because it is the second item in the list.
DATE: Creates a date from individual year, month, and day components. For example, =DATE(2024, 5, 20) returns the date May 20, 2024.
DAYS: Calculates the number of days between two dates. For example, =DAYS("2024-12-31", "2024-01-01") returns 364.
FIND: Locates one string within another and returns the starting position of the found string. For example, =FIND("e", "Excel") returns 1, since "e" is the first character in "Excel".
INDEX: Returns the value of an element in a table or array, selected by the row and column number indexes. For example, =INDEX(A1:C10, 2, 3) returns the value in the second row and third column of the range A1:C10.

2024.05.20 09:14 Dull_Dream_821 applying for grad school without undergrad thesis
I was from a pretty prestigious undergraduate program in Asia (top 20 globally), majoring in Politics, but due to a host of psychiatric and family issues, my grades are the definition of tragic. My transcript careens wildly from Ds to a smattering of As, mostly because I could not seem to focus or sit down to do certain modules, and tended to get As on my essays but Cs and Ds in things like class participation, which brought the overall grades down. I eventually got a dean’s letter of commendation for improvement around my final year because I started to seek some help but my eventual GPA didn’t qualify for honours or an honours thesis.
I’ve since been employed in several extremely related fields and am lucky enough that I have had a pretty good career in these fields. Lately I’ve been wanting to go back to grad school part-time because I honestly love the subject and think it would be useful in my line of work. The dream is to eventually do a second MPhil and maybe even PhD in Oxford or a good American university program.
Please tell me now if I should give up on these dreams because of my grades, and if not, if there’s any way to get there. I would also appreciate any suggestions on online masters that are somewhat reputable that I can take as a stepping stone, so I can continue to work while I attempt to get into higher education.

Not only is it perfect for your everyday bag or backpack, but it's also great for outdoor activities and travels. I particularly love the premium and durable copper snaps that keep my gear secure.

This Molle-compatible pouch proved to be everything I needed and more. Upon first glance, I was drawn to the removable MOLLE straps which allowed me to easily attach it to various Molle systems or tactical bags. This feature provided me with the convenience of consolidating all my pocket-carried items in one central location. The laminated shell design of the pouch caught my attention too. By using strings to adjust the angle of the closure, I could easily transform the pouch into a chest-mounted desk or fully open it for optimal gear loading. In terms of organization, the pouch offered one zipper compartment and one large compartment. This combination allowed me to securely store multiple items such as maps, knives, and flashlights. Additionally, elastic loops and instrument holders within the pouch catered to a plethora of tools, making it perfect for outdoor sports or wilderness survival. One downside I noticed was the weight of the pouch, which came in at around 0.85 pounds. However, the high-quality 1000D Nylon material assured me that the pouch would withstand the test of time. Overall, the WYNEX Tactical Molle Admin Pouch exceeded my expectations in terms of organization, versatility, and durability.

Its sleek design and versatile nature caught my attention immediately. I decided to test it out during a camping trip and was pleasantly surprised by how seamlessly it fit into my outdoor gear. Being a tactical pouch, it was a perfect size to carry all my essential tools like a flashlight, multi-tool, and compass. The pouch was sturdy enough to keep these items secure during my trek. The MOLLE system made it easy to attach to my belt or tactical backpack, ensuring I was always prepared for any situation. However, while the pouch was large enough for its purpose, it lacked any internal organization. This made it a challenge to find specific items when I needed them. Additionally, it would have been great to have more color options available, as I prefer to match my gear colors. Overall, the Atwilltap Tactical Molle Pouch is a handy and functional tool pouch for outdoor enthusiasts. With a few minor adjustments, it could be even better. 🔗Durable MOLLE Pocket for Tactical Gearhttps://preview.redd.it/8oxlah2e7j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c4d397c2109b7a6a14afac1b2ba721d3a09f331 Last week, I had the chance to try out the Chase Tactical Folding Admin Molle Pouch. It's a game-changer for anyone who needs easy access to their essentials. The fold-down design is perfect for critical items, and it's super lightweight. I particularly love the zipper mesh compartment - it's incredibly useful for storing and organizing smaller items. The MOLLE webbing is a bonus, making it perfect for securing to various tactical gear.

This pouch stood out to me because of its good size, providing enough space to store a variety of items like my walkie talkie, ammo, GPS device, and more.

I loved that it's lightweight, yet sturdy, allowing me to carry it with ease without worrying about it tearing apart. One of the things that made this pouch even more useful was its multi-functional nature. With three interior pockets, I could easily create my own EDC kit, or even a survival kit. Additionally, the MOLLE carrying system made it easy to attach the pouch to various MOLLE platforms like my backpack, vest, or waist. Although I found the front Velcro for patches convenient, the two-way zipper sometimes seemed a bit cumbersome.

Overall, the ProCase Tactical Admin Molle Pouch exceeded my expectations and proved to be a valuable addition to my outdoor gear collection. 🔗MOLLE-Compatible Mini Tactical Utility Pouch for EDChttps://preview.redd.it/0x0oftye7j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71aed89c0e6f6d905407536712a275f23d5057f0 I recently tried this compact EDC tool pouch and it quickly became one of my favorite on-the-go accessories. The Molle system allowed me to easily attach it to different gear, making it perfect for use in camping, hiking, and any other outdoor adventures. I particularly loved the main pocket, which had two-way zippers that made it easy to open. Plus, the mini side buckle strap allowed quick access without fully opening the pouch. With a total of five pockets, there was enough room to carry all the essentials, and the mesh inside was great for organizing smaller items. However, it's worth mentioning that the pouch is a mini version of a three-day assault backpack, which might not be enough space for everyone's needs. Also, while the compact size is perfect for outdoor activities, it may not be the most discreet option for everyday carry. Despite these minor drawbacks, I found this EDC tool pouch to be an excellent addition to my gear collection. Its versatility and utility made it a reliable companion on my adventures, and the numerous color options allowed me to match it to my taste. 🔗Lightning X Premium Nylon MOLLE Accessory Pouchhttps://preview.redd.it/riekjoaf7j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa12580ed0255875112a634eca2ebe726bc237ef The Lightning x Products Premium Nylon MOLLE Pouch is a sturdy accessory designed to carry various supplies for an IFAK or similar use.

When I first took it out of the package, the combat suspender and admin pouch set felt well-built and sturdy, making me confident it would last me a long time. One of the features that stood out to me was the functional ultimate organization of this pouch. It's incredibly versatile and allows me to keep all my essential small items within reach. I particularly enjoyed the front compartment, which has a 7" x 10.5" vinyl sleeve for maps or documents. The horizontal elastic loops on the back of the pouch were also a great addition, as they made it easy to take and store things like glow sticks, tactical pens, and flashlights. Another great aspect was the front laser-cut hook & loop Molle/PALS system. It's been fantastic for storing additional tools, mounting patches, customizing the pouch, and adding tactical ID. The free U. S. A flag patch even makes the pouch more conspicuous and stylish. The WYNEX Admin Pouch made from 1000D Nylon measures 25.5cm*19cm*9cm/10"*7.5"*3.5".

2024.05.20 09:04 Iberlos VBloods surrounded by mobs are too hard
I have been playing this game for a bit. Currently gear level 63.
I feel like vbloods are really great fights when they do not have summons or just wander arround random mobs. I have killed Vbloods that stand in an isolated arenas such as Ziva(60) fine. Even some wandering guys such as Angram werent too bad because I lured him outside of the village he is in.
But now I am trying to kill the wanderer and the spider and those VBloods are just surrounded by friendly(to them) mobs. I don't have the damage output to kill those mobs fast and focus on the boss. And the wanderer is literally just running arround atracting mobs. Its a cool concept, but there are just too many mobs, with too much health, and too much damage output if you mess up for just a second.
Also if you die you can just count of spending the next 10 minutes just going to get you stuff and that is if you just ignore most mobs on the way.
I am using duskwatcher gear, explosive shooter pistols(20), illusion magic wolf and spear and storm magic raging tempest, i have decent jewels on my most used spells, had a 90% creature blood when trying the first few times, was using buff potions, I have 5/6 of the tier 1 passives... Even then I can get the spider to about half health before I die or just have to run a bit to heal and it resets. When there are a bunch of mobs its really hard to find an opening to heal with pots.
I am not playing solo, so I can call in a friend to help out, but I feel like the game should not be telling me I am matched to these bosses and these mobs if I can only defeat them in isolation.
I do love this game, but I have felt very underpowered playing it so far. I am always chasing whatever increases my power just so I can move arround freely in some parts of the map... Yes that can be fun, but I was expecting to feel more powerful at lvl 63 with basically the best stuff I can muster...
Sorry for the rant.
Since I know some are going to say it, I don't care if you think the game is stupid easy and that I suck at playing it. There are different levels of players, if you are good at it, great, but you don't need to go arround spewing salt for no reason.

2024.05.20 09:01 CaramelCookiesz Lucid dreaming or astral projection story.
Dream sharing with a stranger?
!!Long Post!! Crossposted in a lucid dreaming reddit.
Unsure if this goes in this reddit page or not, but here it is:
I have always had interesting dreams. Dreams that have happened later in life, dreams of saying goodbye to loved ones and waking up to them dead. Nightmares about things attacking me in the room I stayed and being woken up at 3:33 a.m as the 8 hour music I had playing was somehow paused at 3:33:33.
Yet by far, the most interesting dreams I have had was with a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes.
There is only 6 dreams I know he was in. All spread out through the years, but I always knew it was him when I woke up.
The first dream I had was in 7th grade. In the dream I was walking around this amusement park in the town I resided in, and it was empty. The only people there was me, and this tall blonde haired blue eyed boy.
At first I thought it was my crush at the time, but realized that 1, My crush didn't have that light skin tone and hair color, and 2, this was the first time I have ever seen a person's face in my dream so vividly, and it 100% was not my crush at the time.
Anyways, I am walking around the fairgrounds with this boy, and we decided to go on the fairis wheel. Upon getting on, I felt the anxiousness I always do while on those wheels, and felt the boy grab my hand. He then says to me "Thank you for going on this date with me. I hope we meet again." And shortly after I woke up.
I don't remember the dream I had with him after that one, I just remembered that I saw a familiar face which was his. I never thought too much of it at the time, because I was in 7th-8th grade during those two dreams. Yet all I do know is that I can instantly recognize his face, and I feel a calm and warm presence whenever he is around. (Makes me wonder if I had any other dreams with him that I can't remember.)
A side note, people normally have dreams and see people they know in them, but for me, if it's a dream and it's with someone I know, the person always has a weird alteration to their appearance, like if you were looking at an AI generated photo. For the boy, he looked real, never in my life have I seen him but nothing about him looked like the normal dream people I've seen all my life. (The only exceptions were the loved ones saying goodbye, I saw their faces clearly aswell.)
Anyways, the next dream I had with him, it was a silly one. I was leaving school after gym class and waiting for my grandma to pick me up. I was for some reason pulling up my sweat pants and trying to hide in them?? A voice from beside the bench makes me stop and I turn to see that familiar face again, and I just stared, almost like I was about to realize I was not in a dream in that moment.
Then I felt if my attention was getting pulled away from the boy, and I quickly get forced into looking at my grandma driving up in her car. Once I felt like I could move on my own again, I look back to the boy and see that he is gone. I was a Junior in highschool.
Now, we are getting into the weirder dreams with him. In this dream I was training to be a survivor in the zombie apocalypse. It had not started yet, but me and a bunch of people were testing in an underground place to see who would get released into the apocalypse with the better gear. After all the testing, no one scored above the top 50, so when we were about to get released into the world, we had to stand 50 feet away from the exit.
Soon the zombie fog(fog that turns people into zombies) started arriving. After about 50 seconds of waiting for our turn to grab the supplies and run, I book it outside, meeting a random group of survivors and that was the end of it.. until I woke up, and went back to sleep. When I went back to sleep, I felt as if everything I had just went through in the dream was re-winded and I was back in the testing room. Yet this time I was fully lucid.
I took advantage of this and made sure to ace the test, since it seemed unless you were lucid you'd be stuck with the rest of the group, which I was wanting to avoid this time around. After the test we went into a waiting room area, and I was talking to this random Korean man, and he and I were just chatting and I made a joke saying "if you are real add my Instagram" and he said bet, (he never added me on Instagram lol) but after I did that, I felt my body move on its own. I was still fully aware it was a dream, but I felt like something was moving me. And I was moved in front of this person, I didn't get to see what they looked like but a sense of familiarity overcame me.
The test was then calculated, and I was the only one who went in the first place, so it was me, a bunch of empty space, and everyone else... that is what I thought until I saw a blonde boy tied in first place with me. In my head I was baffled, because only a person aware it was a dream would have made it to the top.. so why was he there?
We get released back outside, me and the blonde the first ones out of course. I follow this motorcycle dude, to a hilltop (he was in the group I made in the first part of the dream)and for some reason the blonde boy was following us aswell and as the zombie fog got closer and closer, we were forced to jump off the cliff and hide under the water. While in the water, I felt the fog brushing against my back, it felt so real. I then gained the courage to breathe while under the water, realizing I was in a dream and I couldn't drown.
Once the fog was gone, I instantly realized who the blonde haired boy was. I quickly stand up, and so does the other two. I force my attention on the boy, and he looks straight at me as well, and I locked eyes with his blue ones. "Why are you always in my dreams?" I asked.
He looks at me confused, "No, your the one always in my dreams!" Instantly I felt myself forget I was in a dream, and my attention was forced to look at a zombie, I was no longer lucid for some reason.. and the boy disappeared from my dream after that.
The next dream happened 2 days after that one. I was in a normal dream, or nightmare I assume. This grudge lady was dragging me down the hall, over and over again. The lights turning off behind her, as I faced watching all of it happened. Yet before she could turn the corner, she woulds stop, and there would be a figure in the corner of the hall we came from watching us.
This dream repeated that same scene over and over again. I would switch places with the person on the corner of the hall, watching them get dragged down it, and they would watch me do the same. After about what felt like an hour, the person who was being dragged looked at me and spoke, "I'm getting tired of this dream, aren't you?" And I instantly woke up. Yet I wanted to go back to sleep, which I did.
So I went to sleep, and it looked like I was playing omegle in the dream I was dreaming, but it kept making me wake up, and I'd force myself to sleep again, each time this happened, the scene would change, and I noticed that I was on a tablet, and as I kept waking up and going back to sleep, I felt as if my attention was slowly getting away from the tablet, like I was pulling away from the suction. As this kept happening, I was still waking up and going back to sleep.
Soon a guy with brown hair and a black suit and top hat appeared, and he was mocking me for waking up and going back to sleep, saying "Why don't you just stay asleep? Or maybe just wake up huh?" I ignored the man and kept waking up and sleeping again, I was almost out of the suction, I could see the edge of the tablet. Soon, a white being appeared, he looked like a child, but had white hair, pale white skin, and a white suit. He was asking if I was ok, if I was stressing out, he told me to just wake up. I ignored him aswell.
I woke up one last time, and as I went back to sleep I finally was able to pull away from the tablet. Instantly I was lucid, and I saw that i was in a warehouse, around me were thousands and thousands of grayed out people who's attentions were all on their tablets, I looked at the few around me and realized that each one was a different dream. I look up to see how far the warehouse was another person standing up. Once they stood up a alarm went off and I found myself in the middle of a lobby of some sorts, it was like all the games you've ever seen or played meshed into on lobby.
There were people walking around, like a busy new York street. I felt confused, but I just casually started exploring the area. A intercom voice echos through the lobby saying "turn on the protocol, two are aware, two are aware."
Instantly all of the people's heads turned into emoticons, and it made me realize that they were just random NPC's. I continue to walk around when the white being from earlier came over to me and grabbed my shoulders. I could physically feel this, and it freaked me out. The white being had a worried expression and asked me, "What are you doing here? Why didn't you wake up! You need to wake up."
I shrug and try to wake up but it didn't work. So the being sighs and tells me he has to bring me to the safe house before the other one finds me. So we jump across the crossy road and make our way to the minecraft safe house. As we got closer, the white being drags me to hide between the graying out border and some bushes. In the safe house was the brunette guy in a top hat from earlier. He was speaking in a random hanging microphone, "I got eyes on the blonde boy, find the brunette girl, find the brunette girl."
The white being then turns to me, and grabs my shoulders again, he looks me dead in the eyes and says, "You need to wake up. Right. Now."
I then woke up, and was unable to fall back asleep for another 30ish hours. I told my mom about the dream, and she suggested that this blonde boy was someone sharing dreams with me, but I didn't really think much of it. That was before I turned 18, after highschool.
The last dream I remember with him was a year ago, in the dream I had to move back in with my dad, and I was attending a school like Hogwarts, but you could go home or something. It was weird because I was an adult in the dream so why did I have to go to school?
Anyways, my dad sells me off to get married to this random guy. And I am forced to live in their luxury house. Yet I never meet the guy, (I am not lucid in the dream so I was very compliant). After weeks of not meeting this guy, a boy in a dres shirt and suit vest comes inside of the home. His hair was blonde and swoopy, and he had the brightest blue eyes. For some reason I felt enamored with him.
The scene quickly changed, and I am in a Applebee's with my older brother and this boy. My older brother was juggling rings made out of fire, and he flings one in the air like a coin and catches it. "You two should just get married." He says, and I turn to the boy, feeling almost in love. Yet the boy was smiling, he gave me an awkward or sad smile before the scene changed again.
We were walking to the flying cars to go to school, and he quickly grabs my hand. "Remember that time we met, and went on the fairis wheel?" He starts, "or that time your grandma picked you up, or the time we ran from zombies?" He was reminding me of all the dreams we shared, but I just stared at him confused, for I didn't remember it in the dream. Then things started to click in my mind. As they started to click in my mind a name quietly echoes in my brain, it got louder and louder until I couldn't bare it anymore. Yet once it clicked, I looked at the boy, lucid for one split second.. his name was Harrison.
Suddenly I was being forced back into the dream, the moon was aparrently crashing into earth, causing Co2 fumes into the air, and it was going to hit Chicago?? Before anything else could happen I felt a pair of hands grab me, and I look over at the boy named Harrison one last time. He says to me, "I will find you."
Then I wake up.
Now idk if this is anything, but it sure as hell is interesting. I've been convincing myself it's just my imagination, but the fact some of my friends have said they shared a dream recently with a blonde boy, sometime refering or asking about me. My older brother recently told me he did have a dream(he never dreams) that he was juggling rings that were hot to the touch, and saw a blonde boy next to him and me across from him. Yet before he flung the ring in the air he said "you two should stop whatever this is that your doing." In his dream.
BUT I don't know if people are just messing with me. So that's that. Thank you for reading, sorry if it was boring and sorry it was so long haha....
HARRISON IF YOUR OUT THERE WHY TF ARE YOU IN MY DREAMS!!
EDIT: 5/19/24
I had another lucid dream last night, it wasn't good enough to be considered an encounter, but I walked outside of a house I was in, and felt a jurassic temperature change. I was walking down some cement steps towards a street (almost neon dark blue and purples surrounded the area, and it looked as if it has just rained.) And after feeling so cold, I processed it was a dream. So I looked around and could feel the breeze. But there was nothing there or around me.
I had the urge to call out to someone. To find someone, so I called out to Harrison. I then feel a spirit shake (what I call whatever the feeling is when you did something wrong In a dream/ something is attacking you) and it intensifies, even though nothing was there. I then get sent to an alternate dream which was me waking up in bed, like something was trying to make me think I was waking up. But idk.

!!Long Post!! Crossposted in a lucid dreaming reddit.
Unsure if this goes in this reddit page or not, but here it is:
I have always had interesting dreams. Dreams that have happened later in life, dreams of saying goodbye to loved ones and waking up to them dead. Nightmares about things attacking me in the room I stayed and being woken up at 3:33 a.m as the 8 hour music I had playing was somehow paused at 3:33:33.
Yet by far, the most interesting dreams I have had was with a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes.
There is only 6 dreams I know he was in. All spread out through the years, but I always knew it was him when I woke up.
The first dream I had was in 7th grade. In the dream I was walking around this amusement park in the town I resided in, and it was empty. The only people there was me, and this tall blonde haired blue eyed boy.
At first I thought it was my crush at the time, but realized that 1, My crush didn't have that light skin tone and hair color, and 2, this was the first time I have ever seen a person's face in my dream so vividly, and it 100% was not my crush at the time.
Anyways, I am walking around the fairgrounds with this boy, and we decided to go on the fairis wheel. Upon getting on, I felt the anxiousness I always do while on those wheels, and felt the boy grab my hand. He then says to me "Thank you for going on this date with me. I hope we meet again." And shortly after I woke up.
I don't remember the dream I had with him after that one, I just remembered that I saw a familiar face which was his. I never thought too much of it at the time, because I was in 7th-8th grade during those two dreams. Yet all I do know is that I can instantly recognize his face, and I feel a calm and warm presence whenever he is around. (Makes me wonder if I had any other dreams with him that I can't remember.)
A side note, people normally have dreams and see people they know in them, but for me, if it's a dream and it's with someone I know, the person always has a weird alteration to their appearance, like if you were looking at an AI generated photo. For the boy, he looked real, never in my life have I seen him but nothing about him looked like the normal dream people I've seen all my life. (The only exceptions were the loved ones saying goodbye, I saw their faces clearly aswell.)
Anyways, the next dream I had with him, it was a silly one. I was leaving school after gym class and waiting for my grandma to pick me up. I was for some reason pulling up my sweat pants and trying to hide in them?? A voice from beside the bench makes me stop and I turn to see that familiar face again, and I just stared, almost like I was about to realize I was not in a dream in that moment.
Then I felt if my attention was getting pulled away from the boy, and I quickly get forced into looking at my grandma driving up in her car. Once I felt like I could move on my own again, I look back to the boy and see that he is gone. I was a Junior in highschool.

2024.05.20 08:56 HowlPendragonJenkins Severe pain 2 weeks after dental work, keeping me up at night
For context, I've been to my new dentist twice for dental work. The first was the top left, the second was the bottom left. And ever since I was a child, the left side of my jaw has clicked/shifted to the side when opening and closing. It's never sat right, and has occasionally caused me pain, but nothing like I'm dealing with now.
11 days ago, I got dental work done on the bottom left of my mouth. My molar has a permanent cap, so that one wasn't touched. They fixed the next two teeth though (not sure if it's important, but I did have one adult tooth removed from each part of my mouth before I got braces like, 10 years ago).
All was fine and well, usual soreness that I've dealt with at the dentist, until this past Wednesday when I started feeling pain deep in my lower jaw. I contacted my dentist, and they said it's normal for the swelling to settle in the lower jaw. My bottom teeth were hurting, but I chalked it up to the extensive work I had done.
Fast forward to Saturday, and I start experiencing the worst TMJ pain of my life. Now my top teeth and bottom teeth hurt on the left side. I wake up every 10-30 minutes due to severe pain. It's 3am on Monday morning now, and I'm laying on my stomach to get relief from this pain. Laying on my back and sides hurt severely. I still feel a dull pain in my teeth, and my jaw isn't naturally closing anymore.
I can't chew hard foods because it hurts. I've been eating soft foods for the last 36 hours. I can't open my mouth all the way without wanting to literally rip my jaw out of my skull. My mouth can close, and my bite doesn't really feel off. It's just painful to close my mouth, or to open it. I'm in a natural position of having my teeth open slightly, with my tongue pressed to the roof of my mouth. And I have high anxiety, so I'm usually a clencher.
I don't know what to do. I'm going to call my dentist today, but I can't deal with this pain. I take a low grade narcotic as needed for arthritis pain due to a car accident two years ago, and I took it hoping it would help with this pain. It doesn't even take the EDGE off. And that's what's scaring me. Because this medicine is helping me deal with a whole bulging disc in my spine, but isn't helping jaw pain.
I've had occasional jaw pain all my life, as I said earlier, but nothing like this. It hasnt kept me up at night. This is my second night getting virtually no sleep. I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't keep going on like this. My husband is worried sick because of how he's already seeing my mental state deteriorate.
What do I do? Do I go see my primary care and try to see a surgeon? Do I go to the dentist and get my fillings shaved like so many people have? How long do I keep living with this unbearable pain? I got a disc replacement last year, and it was a walk in the park compared to this pain. I'm at a loss, and I have no clue what to do or who to even call about this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

11 days ago, I got dental work done on the bottom left of my mouth. My molar has a permanent cap, so that one wasn't touched. They fixed the next two teeth though (not sure if it's important, but I did have one adult tooth removed from each part of my mouth before I got braces like, 10 years ago).
All was fine and well, usual soreness that I've dealt with at the dentist, until this past Wednesday when I started feeling pain deep in my lower jaw. I contacted my dentist, and they said it's normal for the swelling to settle in the lower jaw. My bottom teeth were hurting, but I chalked it up to the extensive work I had done.
Fast forward to Saturday, and I start experiencing the worst TMJ pain of my life. Now my top teeth and bottom teeth hurt on the left side. I wake up every 10-30 minutes due to severe pain. It's 3am on Monday morning now, and I'm laying on my stomach to get relief from this pain. Laying on my back and sides hurt severely. I still feel a dull pain in my teeth, and my jaw isn't naturally closing anymore.
I can't chew hard foods because it hurts. I've been eating soft foods for the last 36 hours. I can't open my mouth all the way without wanting to literally rip my jaw out of my skull. My mouth can close, and my bite doesn't really feel off. It's just painful to close my mouth, or to open it. I'm in a natural position of having my teeth open slightly, with my tongue pressed to the roof of my mouth. And I have high anxiety, so I'm usually a clencher.
I don't know what to do. I'm going to call my dentist today, but I can't deal with this pain. I take a low grade narcotic as needed for arthritis pain due to a car accident two years ago, and I took it hoping it would help with this pain. It doesn't even take the EDGE off. And that's what's scaring me. Because this medicine is helping me deal with a whole bulging disc in my spine, but isn't helping jaw pain.
I've had occasional jaw pain all my life, as I said earlier, but nothing like this. It hasnt kept me up at night. This is my second night getting virtually no sleep. I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't keep going on like this. My husband is worried sick because of how he's already seeing my mental state deteriorate.
What do I do? Do I go see my primary care and try to see a surgeon? Do I go to the dentist and get my fillings shaved like so many people have? How long do I keep living with this unbearable pain? I got a disc replacement last year, and it was a walk in the park compared to this pain. I'm at a loss, and I have no clue what to do or who to even call about this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
2024.05.20 08:45 Old-OriginalAU VLAN Tagging on TL-SG1016PE
Hi folks, I'm after some guidance with this interface for TP-Link so that I'm heading in the correct direction with tagging and if I'd also need to set the VLAN on PVID in addition?
I will also have a pfsense VM that will have VLAN's setup on it to match the below image.
What I want to achieve is the VLAN's as per the first image and the second image how would I achieve it e.g. trunk port. The second image is how it is currently set, but I don't believe it is correct and happy to start from scratch to reflect the network changes that I'll be making.

 | Got him in second try. He gets 1 goal and 1 assist in first match. Put him at LWF, pretty good. So far his playstyle is equal to IRL doku; oppostion has a hard time to get the ball once he dribbles due to his dribble and tight possession, plays at winger path, decent finishing, could do a normal pass, haven't try long pass or crossing yet. Basically what IRL doku does at m.city, he does it too. Great card for you if you want a good dribbling and actual winger submitted by wastonwest to pesmobile [link] [comments] |
2024.05.20 08:40 Adventurous-Bee-4072 Difficulties Transferring into Law mid-year
Hey guys,
I'm currently a second-year first semester student in the Unimelb BCom and am strongly considering transferring to the Monash LLB/BCom, as I have heard the employment prospects are similar and I've always wondered how I'd find law.
My main concern here would honestly be the social implications of starting a new degree 1.5 years out of HS; I feel like I'd struggle to connect with the rest of the cohort as I'd obviously be super far behind to begin with (would literally be speedrunning the first year of the LLB lol), and would have strange subject combinations for the rest of my degree. I feel like this would cause me to struggle to connect with others.
In turn, another concern would be my prospects for clerkships. I have been working part-time for a while and have pretty good grades, but I feel like I'd just struggle to get anything due to a lack of connections, caused by above
Does anyone have any experience with these things? If so, should I actually let this deter me?
Thanks

2024.05.20 08:40 CaptainDubD Journal Entry for Monday, 20 May 2024
I am in a peculiar mood today. Not exactly happy, but not sad either—just floating somewhere in between.
On Saturday, I took a big step and attended a Meet Up from a new group I joined. It is a film group, sort of like a book club but for movies. I was drawn to this particular meet-up because they were discussing "Amelie" (2001), which happens to be one of my favorite films. Despite the gender differences, I see a lot of myself in Amelie—the way she views the world, her anxieties, and her small acts of kindness. The group was very welcoming, and I genuinely enjoyed the outing. I am planning to attend more events with them, and maybe, in time, I can expand my rather minimal circle of friends through this group.
On another note, it has been over a year since my friendship with 'Bruv' ended. Their 25th birthday is coming up this Thursday, and I am torn about whether to send them birthday greetings like I did last year. The end of our friendship still weighs on me, and I am not sure if reaching out is the right move.
In the realm of dating, I have been using Bumble and Hinge, hoping to meet someone special. So far, I have not had a single match, which has been quite disheartening. It is starting to make me feel like a troll destined to live under a bridge. Maybe I should just give up, sell my apartment, and go inspect bridges—if that is even a thing. Joking aside, the lack of connections is making me doubt whether there is someone out there for me.
On a brighter note, my boss took me to lunch last Friday and shared some good news. He wants to end my secondment early and bring me on full-time in my current role. This is a positive development and gives me a sense of stability and appreciation at work, which I really needed.
So, it has been a mix of ups and downs. I guess I will just keep moving forward and see where things go.

Reviews🔗Affordable Camo Crossbow Package for Hunting Enthusiastshttps://preview.redd.it/vykbfl6z0j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7cb402a37e8bd54254061a44ab8efa69098d11f1 During my first encounter with the Barnett Wildcat C5 Camo Crossbow Package, I was immediately impressed by its sleek design and ease of assembly. It only took me about 20 minutes to set it up, and I was ready to take my first shot. This crossbow felt surprisingly comfortable, thanks to the lightweight GAM composite stock and thumb hold grip. While shooting, the vented quad limbs helped keep noise down, making it more enjoyable to use outdoors. One of my favorite features was the high-energy wheels, which provided a smooth and steady drawback with every shot. Additionally, the synthetic string and cable system added great durability and reliability. However, one issue I faced was with the scope; it required a bit of adjustment to get it zeroed in correctly, but that's a minor concern compared to the overall performance of the crossbow. Overall, the Barnett Wildcat C5 Camo Crossbow Package proved to be a fantastic addition to my outdoor gear collection. Despite being a newbie in the world of crossbows, I could quickly handle this one with ease and confidence. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, powerful, and reliable crossbow package. 🔗Steambow AR-6 Stinger II Tactical Crossbow - High-Performance Hunting Accessoryhttps://preview.redd.it/o5j9kjsz0j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=985fb6d846825955de7beb201a09981fbca09c4f The Steambow AR-6 Stinger II Tactical has definitely made an impact in my daily life. The first thing that caught my attention was its sleek design. The impact-resistant polymer construction is not only durable but also UV-resistant, which is a great feature for outdoor use. The length-adjustable AR-style buttstock along with the standard buffer tube provides a comfortable grip. One of the standout features for me was the maximum velocity of up to 220 FPS and a maximum energy of up to 15.2 FPE. I could really feel the power behind each shot! The ridged and textured pistol grip made holding it steady during use much easier. However, there were a couple of drawbacks. The instructions booklet was virtually useless, and I had to rely on a video to assemble it. Additionally, the shims were quite frustrating. Despite these small setbacks, the crossbow performed well and was a lot of fun to use. Overall, I'd recommend this to someone looking for an affordable and powerful crossbow. 🔗Affordable Compact Crossbow for Various Useshttps://preview.redd.it/ghpez0d11j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38f158440727c3d5344ecd215bf9ebdd6f264486 The AR-6 Stinger II Compact Crossbow Black 414, a compact and versatile crossbow that has become a staple in my outdoor adventures. Its ease of use and portability have made it a go-to choice for a variety of activities. The draw weight of 35 pounds ensures a sturdy and reliable shot, while its compact design makes it perfect for hunting in tight spaces or carrying during longer excursions. However, despite its strong points, I've noticed that it can be quite noisy, which might be a concern for those in more sensitive shooting environments. Overall, the AR-6 Stinger II Compact Crossbow Black 414 strikes a balance between performance and convenience, making it a worthwhile investment for hunting enthusiasts on a budget. 🔗Affordable High-Performance Crossbow Packagehttps://preview.redd.it/od5fr6t11j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=974cd23ded362693b0b80a7372171e77ba2bc894 I was skeptical when I first heard about the Killer Instinct Boss 405 Crossbow Package. Would it live up to its name or be just another cheap, noisy contraption? To find out, I decided to give it a try. The first thing that stood out was the crossbow's lightweight design. The X-Loc foregrip and adjustable stock made it effortless to handle and maneuver. The micro-Lite aluminum barrel was another impressive feature, providing both accuracy and reducing the overall weight of the crossbow. The Lumix 4x32 illuminated scope offered a clear, bright view of the target. However, I found the trigger to be a bit tricky at first. It took some practice but eventually, I got used to it. I also appreciated the string and limb suppressors, as they helped reduce the noise when I fired the crossbow. While using the crossbow, I noticed that it required a bit more cocking effort than expected. But with the supplied rope cocker, I was able to manage the weight effectively. Overall, the Killer Instinct Boss 405 Crossbow Package had its flaws, like the tricky trigger and clunky adjustable stock mechanism. However, the positives, such as the accurate shooting and sleek design, won me over. For the price, it's a great value that provides a satisfying hunting experience. 🔗Killer Instinct Lethal 405 Crossbow Package: Powerful Hunting Accessory for Beginnershttps://preview.redd.it/gutecrc21j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca814609840131fbb8f10a15ba73196da02e41d6 The Killer Instinct Lethal 405 Hunting Crossbow Pro Package has quickly become a trusted companion in my outdoor adventures. The powerful, durable design of this crossbow stands out among others - its aluminum barrel, adjustable stock, and quiet operation have made it my go-to choice for hunting in various terrains. The most striking feature of this crossbow is the Dead Silent limb and string suppressors. On countless occasions, they have allowed me to take down game without spooking my quarry. Moreover, the included rope cocker has significantly improved my reloading speed, ensuring I'm always prepared for the next shot. However, this crossbow isn't without its drawbacks. The bolt quiver isn't particularly impressive, and the field tips on the carbon bolts can be quite fragile. I found myself constantly replacing them, which felt somewhat wasteful. Additionally, the crossbow's IBO speed rating of 405 feet per second can sometimes lead to overshooting targets, as I have to be extra cautious with my aim to avoid overcompensating. Despite its minor flaws, the Killer Instinct Lethal 405 Hunting Crossbow Pro Package has proven to be a reliable and fun tool for my hunting endeavors. It packs all the necessary features to put a successful hunt together and has yet to miss a mark. Whether you're an experienced hunter or just dipping your toes into the world of crossbows, this one is worth considering. 🔗Affordable CenterPoint Hornet Recurve Crossbow - Speedy Fun for Beginnershttps://preview.redd.it/7pl502p21j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4be2445054fa3bb69a74ede7152545fd27061d3 I had the pleasure of trying out the Centerpoint Crossbow Hornet, and let me tell you, it definitely lived up to my expectations! This crossbow was so convenient and easy to use that I quickly became hooked. One of the first things I noticed was how incredibly fast it was; it could fire arrows at remarkable speeds of up to 191 FPS. I never thought I would be using a crossbow so casually, but it quickly became something I enjoyed practicing with. The stealth black stock and reflex red dot sight made it incredibly accurate, and I found myself hitting the mark with almost every shot. However, the red dot sight did leave a little to be desired. Its build quality felt a bit cheap, and I had to improvise a solution to keep it in place. But overall, the inclusion of three 6-inch aluminum arrows was a nice touch. Another feature I appreciated was its ease of use. The break barrel style cocking made reloading incredibly simple, and I could handle it without any issues. Though the product's draw weight was 80 lbs, it still felt lightweight and compact. However, I did encounter a few hiccups during my experience. A couple of the arrows snapped when they met their targets, and I had to search for replacements. Additionally, I had trouble with a stray screw that kept coming loose on the barrels, which was a minor annoyance. Despite these small setbacks, I found the Centerpoint Crossbow Hornet to be a great crossbow for the price. It was fun, engaging, and offered some surprising features that made it quite enjoyable to use. Overall, this product may be ideal for someone who wants an inexpensive way to practice archery or engage in some backyard target practice. 🔗Centerpoint Dagger 405 Crossbow for High-Performance Shootinghttps://preview.redd.it/ky7usw531j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b0a13726966cddc84852ab4d3c2e5d03fdc485f The Centerpoint Dagger 405 Crossbow was a game-changer in my hunting experience. With its adjustable butt pad, I found it to be an ergonomic fit, allowing me to wield it with ease, even during long sessions. I was particularly impressed by its Whisper Silencing System, which helped keep my prey unaware of my presence. The crossbow boasted a powerful 405 feet per second speed, packing quite the punch. However, the drawback I had to confront was the draw weight, at a hefty 220 pounds. It became a real challenge to pull back the string, even for someone with my experience. The Dagger 405 comes equipped with a decent scope and comes with a few carbon arrows, a detachable quiver, and some rail lube, making it an all-inclusive package. Overall, while the Dagger 405 does come with its fair share of challenges, its accuracy and power make it an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable hunting companion. 🔗High-Performance Crossbow with Fast Speed and Durable Designhttps://preview.redd.it/2kbddah31j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=709182e8a4ae9fdf4a5f8fcf7481fd456984147a I recently tried out the BearX Trek 380, and must say, it was quite the experience. The speed and power packed into this compact crossbow are certainly impressive. Weighing in at just 7.5 pounds, it's incredibly easy to maneuver in the field, even for beginners like me. One of the standout features is the anti-dry fire inhibitor and the dual string suppressor system. These safety mechanisms provide a sense of security when using the crossbow. However, I did find the cocking process a bit challenging, especially without the assistance of a crank. The crossbow also comes with a 4x32mm multi-crosshair scope, 3 carbon arrows with field points, 5-arrow quiver, cocking rope, rail lube, and string wax. This is quite a comprehensive package for a crossbow at this price point. Overall, the BearX Trek 380 offers a great balance between performance and affordability. It's definitely worth considering for those looking to get into crossbow hunting without breaking the bank. Just remember to be patient when getting the hang of it, and always prioritize safety when handling the weapon. 🔗High-Power Crossbow with Whisper Silencing Systemhttps://preview.redd.it/q5b4tmu31j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47dd45a1dae85720b67472ada9d33c53af1886bf My experience with the Centerpoint Amped 425 Crossbow has been a mix of excitement and frustration. On one hand, the bow generates some devastating power from its compact build, delivering up to 425 feet per second and a knockdown force of 160 foot-pounds - all with a whisper-silent design. The custom-designed riser, aluminum rail, and adjustable stock provide a smooth, comfortable handling experience. However, a few cons come to mind. First, the weight and difficulty in cocking the bow might be a challenge for some users, especially those who are new to crossbows. Lastly, while the Whisper Silencing System does a great job of reducing noise, some users might find it necessary to add the optional cocking device for easier use. Overall, I find that the Centerpoint Amped 425 Crossbow is a powerful, well-crafted, and user-friendly crossbow that's a great choice for the budget-conscious crossbow enthusiast. 🔗High-Quality All Black Compound Crossbow for Experienced Shootershttps://preview.redd.it/n2lohg641j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9164f080765a78610fba58058c7afc43a63b7ba The SAS MK-250 Compound Crossbow is a powerful bow designed for the seasoned crossbow shooter. With its sleek all-black finish, it not only looks stylish but also feels comfortable and stable to hold and shoot. The crossbow boasts a solid aluminum arrow guide and a reliable trigger mechanism, ensuring each shot is precise and accurate. The bow limbs, made of strong pressed Hi-Tech glassfibre, help maintain the integrity and longevity of the crossbow, no matter how frequently it's used. However, this crossbow might not be the best choice for beginners. Its lack of dampers, string stops, and anti-fire device may lead to a noisy and less efficient shooting experience. Additionally, the arrows that come with the crossbow are quite heavy and may require replacement to achieve optimal speed. Overall, this crossbow delivers on power and durability, but it may not be as user-friendly for those new to the sport. 🔗Adjustable Compact Pink Crossbow for Outdoor Funhttps://preview.redd.it/nyazvfo41j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97586fd26fcb0f8c4a49ed22382a2c0dce4d9a8f Using the Bear x Desire XL Pistol Crossbow has been an exciting adventure in my backyard. The compact design of this pistol crossbow makes it easy to store and transport, yet it's powerful and accurate. The self-cocking arm and forearm grip are perfect for beginners like me, and the adjustable stock allows for comfort and increased stability while shooting. The velocity of 175 FPS makes target practice enjoyable and the 60-pound draw weight provides a challenge without being too overwhelming. However, there are a couple of drawbacks to this pistol crossbow. The supplied aluminum bolts with plastic push-in fletchings are prone to breaking upon impact with firm surfaces, and the cocking stock latch tends to break almost immediately. These issues are frustrating, but they do not significantly detract from the overall performance of the pistol crossbow. In conclusion, the Bear x Desire XL Pistol Crossbow offers a fun and user-friendly shooting experience for beginners and enthusiasts alike. Its adjustable stock, compact design, and powerful velocity make it an excellent choice for backyard target practice. However, the flimsy bolts and faulty latch might require replacement over time. 🔗Affordable Wicked Ridge Invader Crossbow with ACUdraw and Pro-View 400 Scopehttps://preview.redd.it/ra0k1c051j1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04e4f7e5feac4d70b1997148caf4716fa495df17 I recently had the chance to try out the Wicked Ridge Invader M1 crossbow, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. As a beginner with crossbow hunting, this product was an excellent addition to my gear. The built-in ACUdraw crank cocking device proved to be a game-changer, significantly reducing the draw weight and making cocking a breeze. One of the standout features was the 70-yard Pro-View 400 scope, which offered impressive aimpoints and a cleaner view for improved accuracy. The scope's updated reticle made a noticeable difference when taking shots at various distances. Additionally, the crossbow's pre-sighting at 20 yards gave me confidence that it would perform well on the hunt. The fact that this crossbow is built in the United States was a nice touch, and the craftsmanship was evident upon handling the device. The inclusion of a Pro-View 400 scope, 3 Match 400 arrows, and a 3-arrow quiver made the package even more appealing. However, there were a couple of downsides I encountered during my experience. Firstly, the compact size of the crossbow made it slightly uncomfortable for me to carry and handle for extended periods. Additionally, the weight of the crossbow was a bit heavier than expected, making it challenging for me to carry it around for hours in the field. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Wicked Ridge Invader M1 crossbow proved to be a reliable and efficient hunting companion. The combination of features and performance made it a valuable addition to my gear, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their crossbow or start their hunting journey.

2024.05.20 08:35 JMCLtheFirst I was abandoned by my closest people and I can't seem to move on...
So this is going to be a long story, but a very intriguing one (or so my friends say). Bear with me and if you could offer some advice on what to do please share. I know I'm probably just young and naive but I feel like the pain will never stop. Like I'm going to always be held back by this particular experience.
Also sorry for any grammatical or spelling errors, English isn't my first language.
So all of this begins October of 2022 when I 18 M (at the time) moved to a new city to study film. I was lucky enough to have good grades and be so passionate about this art that it kind of felt incredible to have this new beginning. I rented a small house which I decorated with my collections and all my stuff and ended up loving every second spend in it.
I'm Not very social. Thats just a fact. I've always had my school friends and some people from other activities but none of them really felt like they understood me. No sade to them, I really love them, it's just that I know my hobbies and personality are niece and weird so we don't always see eye to eye. So I wanted to overcome my social anxiety and meet new people.
For the first semester I was all alone. Completely. Spent days upon days without leaving my house if I didn't have school and even didn't have any actual human interaction if not necessary. I didn't realise how much I was hurting myself. The Second semester, someone approached me in school and asked if I could help them with the editing for their final movie, let's call him Jacob 18 M. I already was searching for a group project to join in order to pass the class so this felt like a sweet deal. The group was Jacob and 2 girls, let's call them Ellie 18 F and Hannah 18 F.
With time we started talking about more then just the movie. I was really surprised by how many things we had in common. It was the first time someone I met liked musical theatre or (and this is gonna sound sad, please don't judge me) people didn't want me to leave whenever I approached them. They invited me to things, to their homes and after school and to trips at the beach ect. We were together almost every day. Till late at night or through it. Just the 4 of us. Felt like we could rule the world.
One day i thought Ellie was flirting with me. That was a weird feeling. I'm not very good looking and had a lot of extra weight so that was pretty much the first time but my friends told me that was the case from what I was describing. I mentioned it to Jacob and he told me something I didn't expect. He told me him and Ellie were in an open relationship and were hiding it from everyone except Hannah because of his ex who was in school with us. He also confessed he once had a crush on me and that's why he approached me in the first place. He also saw Ellie flirting with me but was ok with it due to the "rules of their relationship".
I was ok with not having a romantic relationship with Ellie. She would actually become one of the closest friends I've ever had. Or so I thought.
I actually started having a crush on Hannah. She loved some of the movies I loved. Had some of my quirks so I didn't feel ashamed around her and she started watching my favourite tv show with me. During our time together everyone (even her sister and Jacob who found out I liked her) told us that when we were together we could only see each other. As if we had a unique way of communication that nobody else could understand.
I confessed my crush and she told me she felt the same way but that there where 2 problems. First that she gets very anxious about relationships, has only ever been to one and had never kissed anyone. I assured her I wasn't going to pressure anything and I only cared for her and wanted to go on a date sometime. She replied she would like that very much. The second problem she confessed was that she was in love with Jacob for months now but nobody knew. Then everything made sense. The things she did for him and all. How she acted around him. I was surprised I didn't notice it before. She told me she wanted to get over it and proceed to ask to kiss me. We kissed a lot but nothing more that night. She went home after a few hours.
The next day Hannah she felt very distant. We wanted to go to the movies with Ellie but she disappeared all day. Late at night she asked my to go for a walk since we lived near each other. Then she told me she wanted to forget everything and last night was a mistake. That her anxiety has gotten into her and although she really wanted a relationship she couldn't be in one. The next few days we talked again and she said she didn't share any of this with Jacob to have someone in the group I could talk to if I needed help. Ellie was that for her.
It was already summer so we all went to our home towns. I missed her a ton. We stilled talked and the other 2 knew something was off with me. About 2 moths later we all went to Hannah's summerhouse for vacation. We were having fun, getting drunk and all that 19-year old stuff. One night me and Hannah were watching my show together and the time felt right so I asked to kiss her. She told me no and finally told me the truth. Turns out she liked that we flirted but after kissing me she realised it wasn't anything more. Also everyone knew except me. But after all this time I had realised I was in love with this girl. I told her if she could keep all of this to herself and she said yes.
We were all still friends. But I couldn't let go. My mental health began to decent and I started feeling like they would leave me out of stuff to go hang out alone and during October I tried talking some time away to see if they would even talk to me if I didn't. They didn't even say good morning once. I tried again and again. Jacob and Ellie said we all need to talk together. They repeated the same words. Like as if it was rehearsed. I went to "the talk".
Jacob did most of the talking. He talked about boundaries and how after everything between me and Hannah the group hasn't been the same. That after I didn't tell him what happened in our vacation they went to her and forced Hannah to do so. They where all attacking me. I heard lie after lie and all followed up with "we just need some time" and that all of this was cause they loved me.
I have discussed what they accused me of with friends, family and therapists. Although I didn't not believe it at first they all confirmed it was finding little details in my day-to-day behaviour (unrelated to all of the above) and using it to kick me out. They didn't intend of even speaking to me again. Lies feed to everyone by Jacob.
I went away. I don't know if it was for the better. But for a few weeks at first and then months later, I went back to my home town. Their lies became actual blame and I got a message from Ellie saying that we are done (just one month after trying to convince me they needed time and confessing she in particular didn't even notice anything until her boyfriend accused me).
Last time I saw any of them was in December when I gave Hannah her Christmas present. I told her I wasn't trying to get her back and I would continue to keep my distance since my first priority is what she wants and I meant that. I really do love her and would do anything for her to be happy. But I miss her a ton.
It's been 5 months since then. I stopped going to school and kept my distance from anyone related to that life. I have depression and cannot think about anything else. I heard that Jacob still talk shut about me to everyone. I have realised what has happened and have discussed this with multiple common friends who have confirmed this. Jacob is Manipulating the other 2 because of the bad relationship with his parents. He knows Ellie won't do anything with anyone else despite the "open" relationship due to her luck of confidence (so it only works for him). She need him to operate in public and to deal with her extreme anxiety so he takes advantage of that and Hannah follows him everywhere with the excuse of just being a good friend.
There are so many things I couldn't include (this is a hugh post already) about more lies and proof that they where bad for me. But I can't move on. I have seeked medical help but I just cant imagine my life in the future without them. Everything is a reminder of what we've been through. Jacob used to call me his family and when I begged him for our friendship back he didn't even care. Not on my birthday, not on new years... never. I lost all of them.
I'm back now. Not sure why, whether I'm back to continue my studies or to see if I could win them back. If I could have Hannah in my life in sime form. But I'll probably see them tomorrow morning (I randomly walked behind them today, don't think they noticed me).
Please if you have any advice share it. I just want to feel happy again. Even for a second.
TL,DR: The girl I'm in love with stopped talking to me along with my 2 best friends. I can't move on and I'm supposed to face them again in school after not seeing them for months. They all lied to me and nothing seem to help. I have depression and I dont want to feel like this for the rest of my life.

2024.05.20 08:27 Dramatic-Diamond5456 UC Rescind
Sooo I’ve been accepted to UC Santa Barbara and have already paid the $250 for my statement of intent to register! But I have a HUGE problem. My grades dropped very badly this second semester because I was dealing with the death of a family member. I ended up with an F in math and a D in AVID…I still have met all the A-G requirements, as I didn’t need that math class to meet A-G because I’ve already done 3 years of math, and as for the AVID class, I’ve already met my elective requirement as well. I think I know the answer, but will they rescind my admission even if I give a really good explanation? I really want to go ti this school and have already put money into it and now idk what to do :(

The Top 10 Best Charter Arms Holsters
Reviews🔗Quality Belt Holster for Ruger SP101 Revolvershttps://preview.redd.it/himovpdyxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88f5f9ca246f4c35a96832db9ff14720f53a2ef7 In my quest for a reliable holster to carry my trusty Colt Detective Special, I stumbled upon the Galco Hornet Holster. Made from the finest horsehide and backed by Galco's reputation for quality products, I was eager to test it out. I was not disappointed. Right from the get-go, the fit and finish of the Hornet were impressive, with even the tiniest details accounted for. The initial fit was snug, but following Galco's break-in procedure resulted in a perfect match. The minimal profile of the belt holster made it ideal for concealed carry. As a holster for everyday carry, the Hornet truly excelled. It fit my Colt Detective Spl perfectly, as if it were made just for it. The comfort and security it provided were unmatched. I could confidently wear it throughout my daily tasks, knowing my firearm was safe and secure. The Galco Hornet Holster made a significant difference in my concealed carry routine.

The holster offers a universal fit, which is perfect for those who own multiple handguns and don't want to invest in a separate holster for each one. One of the standout features I noticed is the gun retention - it's secure and reliable without causing any discomfort. The belt loop slots are another highlight, as they're wide enough to make the holster easy to put on. Plus, the variety of designs available means there's something for everyone - I found one that truly complements my style. Lastly, the affordable price point is a great advantage for those on a budget, like myself. Of course, no product is perfect, and I did encounter a minor issue with the holster being a bit uncomfortable during the break-in period. However, it's nothing a little patience and persistence can't fix. Overall, I'm thoroughly satisfied with the Guardian Black Vault (OWB) Holster from Versacarry, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and affordable option for their handguns. 🔗Vedder Holsters - Premium Sig Sauer P365 X-MACRO Holster for Optimal Concealment and Comforthttps://preview.redd.it/gas11s8txi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e05be6a193aed69cf902639f04f4e8fde82b40e7 As a responsible gun owner, I was always on the lookout for the perfect holster that would provide me with the ultimate security and convenience. Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro w/out Thumb Safety OWB Holster Prodraw by Vedder Holsters. One of the first things I noticed about this holster was its customization. Each holster is crafted with precision to fit your gun perfectly, allowing for a snug fit that provides security without limiting your movement. The audible click when securing my gun in the holster was a nice touch, providing reassurance that my firearm was safely in its place. The convenience factor of this holster is excellent, with an adjustable retention feature that allows you to decide how secure you want your holster to be. The paddle design makes it easy to put on and take off, without the need to undo your belt. The minimal bulk and weight make it ideal for everyday carry. The quality of the holster is evident, with reinforced shells that ensure a convenient one-handed re-holstering experience, perfect for range days. This holster offers the perfect blend of lightweight, sturdy, and secure, perfect for both concealed and open carry situations. Although I couldn't find any major drawbacks during my experience, it's always essential to note potential cons for the readers. However, based on the holster's outstanding performance and benefits, I would highly recommend the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro w/out Thumb Safety OWB Holster Prodraw by Vedder Holsters to anyone in search of the ultimate paddle holster. 🔗Vedder Holsters Charter Arms Holster Claw Add-On Kithttps://preview.redd.it/l6k1a2ntxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efddac673fa38cd3ea31a205aa12d0de4c02160f Recently, I got my hands on the Vedder Holsters Holster Claw Add-On Kit. Now, I've always appreciated the minimalist yet functional design of Vedder holsters, but with this new addition, I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my daily carry. One of the standout features of this kit is the ease of installation. It's simple, and once it's in place, you can truly feel the difference it makes in concealing your firearm. The claw really does its job, pushing the grip closer to your body, a huge plus for those of us who like to stay concealed. However, it's not all sunshine and roses. The one-screw attachment for the claw can be a bit frustrating. It's tough to find that perfect balance of retention and ease of draw. I had to loosen it just a bit to make it work smoothly, but it still leaves a bit of play that I'd prefer weren't there. Overall, the Holster Claw Add-On Kit is a solid addition to the Vedder Holsters roster. It adds a level of function and style that has quickly become a staple for my daily carry. Despite the odd hiccup or two, the pros of this product far outweigh the cons. 🔗Vedder Holsters Charter Arms Holster Claw Add-On Kithttps://preview.redd.it/cvjosu5uxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=986a098a004c818d195f2b7b88395259b75521ac I've been using the Vedder Holster Claw Add-On Kit for a while now, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for my everyday carry. With three claws in hand, I was excited to see how they would enhance my experience with my Vedder Lighttuck holsters. The claw system, once properly installed, does an amazing job of pushing the handle of my firearms closer to my body, minimizing the printing, especially for my smaller firearms like a Kahr CW380. One aspect that could have used some improvement is the lack of a second screw for a more secure attachment, making it difficult to maintain a tight enough grip on my pistol without hindering the draw. Additionally, compatibility with smaller revolvers or light-bearing holsters may not always be consistent, as evident by some of the other reviews I've come across. Despite these minor cons, I'm pleased with my purchase, and the Vedder Holster Claw Add-On Kit has made my concealed-carry experience even smoother and more comfortable. 🔗Ultimate ComfortTac Belly Band Holster for Quickdraw Access and Concealmenthttps://preview.redd.it/7kaf2e6uxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=244b94d9ab559d87673f484ede77705edda877e7 As a reviewer, I've had the chance to try out the ComfortTac Belly Band Holster in my daily life, and I must say, it's been a game-changer. The holster is designed for deep concealment, and its quickdraw access system allows me to draw my weapon in one smooth motion. The retention strap with the deep concealment buckle is a standout feature that ensures my gun stays secure in its place. One of the things I appreciate most about this holster is its versatility. It fits a variety of gun sizes, making it perfect for those who own multiple firearms. The holster is also versatile enough to be worn in most positions, which means I can use it both under and over clothing. The perforated holes promote less sweating, and the stretchy elastic adjusts to any body type, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods. However, there are a couple of cons I've encountered while using this holster. The built-in pocket is a great feature, but it could be more secure and prevent accidental exposure. Additionally, the removable magazine pouch is handy for quick access to spare rounds, but it can be a bit difficult to use with larger caliber magazines. Overall, the ComfortTac Belly Band Holster is an excellent option for those seeking a comfortable, versatile, and secure way to carry their firearms. With its deep concealment, quickdraw access, and custom fit options, it's no wonder why it's a top-selling holster on the market. 🔗Small of Back Holster for Concealed Carryhttps://preview.redd.it/ncdf49luxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54c45e5ac7ecaaea62ddce760a8ffc935527341d As a fellow gun enthusiast, I've been in search of the perfect concealed carry holster for quite some time. That is until I stumbled upon the Palm Out Draw Small of Back Holster by Dara Holsters. This holster is nothing short of a game-changer for all those struggling to find the right one. What stood out to me was the holster's versatility. Despite my body's particular needs, this holster managed to secure my gun in a comfortable position without any hassle. The angle and design of the holster also ensured that the grip was always in reach and the trigger safely covered. It's clear that Dara Holsters put a lot of thought into the positioning of the pistol, making it easier to draw and maintain a balanced stance. However, no product is perfect, and I did find one minor drawback. The clip that holds the holster to my belt was quite stiff, making removing it at the end of the day slightly more difficult. But that doesn't take away from the holster's overall functionality and the fantastic job it does at concealing my weapon. In conclusion, the Palm Out Draw Small of Back Holster by Dara Holsters proved to be an excellent investment. It's not only comfortable and efficient in its job, but its construction also highlights the company's commitment to quality and attention to detail. It may have a bit of a learning curve to get the perfect fit, but once you do, it's smooth sailing. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a dependable concealed carry holster. 🔗High-Quality Belt Holster for Charter Arms Undercover 2" Barhttps://preview.redd.it/gbjmlsavxi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f67eab1727c25668d6639f3f6e72fb0920a4241e I had the pleasure of trying out the Bianchi 111 Cyclone Belt Holster for my Charter Arms Undercover 2?

2024.05.20 08:19 Novel_Yak9565 My boyfriends friend says he hates N-words during games and I dont know what to do
So to give some background, I've (20F) known his friend since first grade and we were friends throughout elementary to the beginning of high school. We were on the same bowling team and had the same friend group, which is where I'm at Frankie (20M) (fake name used). Now we fell out of touch during COVID and lost contact. A few months ago I went onto a dating app and matched with Frankie and we started dating right away. I was very happy and surprised that he was still in contact with Kevin (19M)(fake name) and then got back in touch with Kevin. Frankie and I Called and texted every single day and hung out Every chance we got, especially on Discord if we couldn't find time physically. This is where we get into the story. Now Frankie wasn't supposed to let me join their call or game whatever you call it but I wanted to watch him play his games while he was with his friends to see what it's like. He didn't put up a fight about it and said OK, and we started to call while he was playing games with his friends. Then out of nowhere, Kevin starts saying I hate N-word hard r over and over and over again. Going on for almost 40 minutes. Frankie was very apologetic and asked if I wanted to leave the call and I said no, It's fine. This is up to you to talk to him about because I'm not supposed to be on this call. He informed me that they Have talked to him about this before and he just doesn't care. Kevin knows that Frankie is dating me and is plainly saying this in front of Frankie. I was also hurt that Frankie didn't say anything to him while it happened and also didn't bring up how hurtful It was when he was dating someone that is black. Kevin is also just not a nice friend at all and is always standing up The friend group and Frankie personally too. I don't know how to bring this up to my boyfriend without crying or giving him an ultimatum because this hurts deeply. What do I do? Am I the asshole if I tell him to stop being friends with him?
(Side note: I know that people say some very racist stuff during games but it was a game where it can only be your friends if they have an invite with the voice proximity thing. So I know it was him and nobody else was saying it or laughing. I also have only heard nothing but bad about him since that incident i.e him cheating on his girlfriend, leaving his mom alone for the holidays to fuck some random girl, just blowing the guys off and going Mia for hours just to say he wasn't feeling it. He was never like this before (to my knowledge) and was just a sweetheart and would go out of his way for people. Now he can barely give anybody the time except for his friend group up at his college)

2024.05.20 08:17 Haunting_Sale1858 I have no idea how my mom didn’t know something was up
I didn’t realize something was wrong with me until I started College at 18 (homeschooled my whole life because of family stuff). I never developed any coping mechanisms because I always did my work at the last minute and for test I would cram the night before. That was normal to me. I didn’t even study for my college entrance exam because I struggled with studying. I would get task paralysis and my mind would just go blank. I somehow scored high enough to not take any remedial classes.
I cruised through freshman and sophomore year of college until junior and senior year. My gpa started dropping because cramming was not working anymore. I graduated last year and now getting my masters and writing a thesis. I am still struggling even though I am on meds now.
I’m not sure how my mom never noticed something was up. I was with her 24/7.
My mother made sure to I read a lot. She would test me on books, but I did terrible because I would just read the words but never process it. We would spend hours going back over lessons plans that I was taught before because I would forget how to do it. Math was the worse, she was going to hold me back a grade.
I had many crying sessions and tear stained homework . I used to hit myself because I couldn’t understand simple stuff. She would ask me what was wrong with me and yell at me. I hated it.
I guess because I wasn’t the jumping and running around type? I never did that because I knew I would get in trouble for acting out.
Anytime I was faced with homework that was difficult I would day dream and draw pictures, chew on my pencils, paper or eraser ( realize I was stimming now). I would get yelled at for staring off into space. Always told I move too slow, I need to work harder, I need to listen more and follow directions (terrible at verbal directions). Extremely disorganized room always a mess. I didn’t realize I used to mouth peoples words when I was little either would get yelled at for that.
Also sensitivity to smells ( any time I smelled something I didn’t like I would gag), clothing: I hated turtle necks, scarves, hats, the puffer coats (the noise sends me into a completely rage) and when the line of my socks wouldn’t match up. Getting my hair done eugh the worse.
I’m glad I was able to figure out what was wrong , I thought I was stupid my whole life. I still hold that feeling sometimes.
Anyone experience the same?

2024.05.20 08:13 UpperMeeting3551 Potential Passion or a Realistic Degree?
TLDR at the bottom.
Note: This is about Canadian universities but the struggle is universal haha.
Hi, i’m your usual senior that’s confused about their life choices now that we’re in the last stretch of the year.
My initial plan was to become an accountant— i’m not particularly passionate about anything that I would pursue it as an actual career and I never was good at the STEM subjects so I chose Business Administration— I took a couple courses in hs and I enjoyed it, so I kind of just ended up sticking to it. As a result I did coop in an accounting office.
So when it came to applying to universites last fall, I ended up applying to bba/bacc programs and luckily I ended up being accepted to all the university’s (my eyes are on laurier bba).
My thought process was if I go to University do coop then I would have a good job out of uni (which is definitely way easier said than done lmao). Doing coop would probably help me pay for uni— so in a way it’s the most financially viable option.
Ever since I was young I’ve always wanted to travel the world— and now live comfortably I can without being too much into debt.
That was until I jokingly applied to UCarleton’s BPAPM program (with a focus on International Relations) and by some turn of the universe, got accepted. I thought that studying International Relations would be a kickass thing to study, so I applied for fun (earlier this month) but in high school I never really got involved on that side of career or researched thoroughly what it would entail. I thought that getting a job as a diplomat or an fse would be pretty cool (again, no research. just an idea).
My issue is that, in the long run, i’m worried that it just won’t be worth it for me financially— which probably sounds really dumb but the experience won't. I don’t want to be a burden to my parents and i know that i’m able to even have the opportunity to choose, that’s why i was set on accounting in the first place.
My highest grades in high school have always been in history, english and languages m(i love learning languages)— but I don’t know if i have the personality/drive to work in the government. I know there are a lot of different jobs within departments but being a politican is out of the park for me— that is something positive that I don’t want to do but maybe that’s just because I haven’t experienced it (looks scary to me though, lol).
At the same time, my idea was that, I could always transfer between careers (first become an accountant, and then work for the government (potentially applying to Carlenton’s NSPIA program and then study international relations with a backup career at hand) — this is if life goes accordingly ( i can hear 30 year old me laughing in the distance no matter what career that me is in)
I’m worried that I only like the idea of doing the degree because it seems really (for both degree) and I’m afraid that I’ll make the wrong choice compared to the realistic outlook of doing accounting or that i’m just having second thoughts.
Anyways, any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
TLDR: Should I do accounting in university (the safe realistic route) or should I do a bachelor’s in Public Policy and Management with a focus on international relations (something I know I’m probably more passionate about the road isn’t as clear as accounting).

2024.05.20 08:12 Express-Homework-752 Trying to predict what might happen tomorrow ( pretty nervous rn )
If KKR wins toss I would like them to Bat first
Narine and Gurbaz can hit well against the SRH bowlers in powerplay like what Prabhsimran and Atharv( played his second match only) did against them yesterday.
50-60 runs in Powerplay.
Shreyas comes to bat at 3 and scores around 30-40 at quick pace.
Rinku Russel Raman finish the innings with quick innings towards end and the target is around 230 atleast.
Now Bowling has to do their work .
2nd innings powerplay provides alot of help for bowlers as Shami used to get last year we saw.
Starc has already got Head out few times earlier and will be very very crucial to use initial swing to his advantage and take atleast one wicket of Head .
Vaibhav can take Abhishek's wicket who is vulnerable to early swing as we have seen against Punjab he failed in Mullanpur.
Now the spin duo will be crucial to not leak runs against Tripathi , Klassen who have played them well.
Harshit will play a major part I feel where he will have to take wickets in middle overs for sure. Get out Klassen as early as possible as he has got out to spin in last few matches Varun can be a great choice to take his wicket.
Nitish Reddy is a hidden threat as he attacks well against Spinners. Varun again will be crucial to pick his wicket too.
If all goes according to what I have said i definitely think we would win this match especially if we bowl second.
Chasing is always difficult in Big matches and will put extra pressure on whichever team has to chase and we have defended low scores which will provide us confidence.
230 should be the minimum score on that ground according to what that pitch is offering and they might still score somewhere around 200 even if their openers fail as their middle order is solid too unless our spinners take the charge again and do the job.

2024.05.20 08:12 mysterious_bleach Needs big improvement.
Developers might not actually care for this. Still too much bots and they're too passive like they just stare at the enemies for a few seconds. You can melee them altogether as long as the players doesnt get you. They use bots to fill the players that left or if there's not enough players to start the game. Most of the time shooting or being shot at close range doesn't do damage from a rifle that usually 1 shot and kill. Thrown grenades magically dissappear while on the air if you get killed. Need more real players and do better at matching up players by their tiers. More players in the room might be more harder but it'll feel more like world war than bots standing still like high or drunk. Lots of times it's irritating due to the bots screwing you. Sometimes it's still fun, overall for me this is an ok game. Not great but not bad. I don't hate this game nor current love it. Still recommend to play this game though.
