The purifier is a selfjector SJ100 and I have done an overhaul of the horizontal and vertical shaft, as well as bowl cleaning. I changed almost all of the consumables, o-rings, bearings, oil seals, etc. Measurement of the bowl and vertical shaft height were carried out multiple times and were all in range. The problem is that when I tighten the nut in the inlet pipe at the top of the cover, the vertical shaft won't rotate and when I loosen the nut, it rotates normally and freely again.
What I've done so far: 1. Interchange the cover, inlet pipe and everything on the inlet pipe including the impellers, chambers, gravity disc etc. of the spare purifier. Spare purifier's vertical shaft rotates normally when I tighten the nut in the inlet pipe even with the current purifier's top components while the current purifier still can't. 2. Removed the vertical shaft again and inspected if there were missing components or misaligned parts with the senior engineers. All were found normal and measurements are still in range.
It's my also my first time as a 3rd assistant engineer but I have experienced two complete overhaul of the purifier. I have been troubleshooting for weeks and I can't do any other maintenance that I need to do because of this trouble. Any input on this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

During my kid’s pre-k graduation, they announced each kid’s name and what they wanted to be when they grew up, while handing them a certificate. 99% of the kids had an answer you’d expect - doctor, teacher, firefighter, and the occasional mom/dad. Not my kid. My kid was the 1%. What do they want to be, you ask? A freaking dinosaur.
I don’t know why, but a giant wave of embarrassment swept over me. I get that they’re just 5 and none of it really matters, but why did I have to have the weird kid? And what did other people in the audience think about me and my wife in that moment?

I guess the title sums it up. I’m on ADHD medication for about a month. I’m taking Concerta. As all stimulant medication is supresses your appetite which to be honest, I didn’t have much of to begin with. Add to that the fact that I also have food restrictions and you get an even skinnier person. Although, since this medication, I’ve been able to focus more on keeping a balanced diet of fruits proteins and all that (part because I don’t really wanna feel like fainting from the lack of nutrients) I usually eat at least one big meal a day, so at least there’s that. But aside from that, it’s mostly just snacking on fruits, vegetables, sausage sticks, sometimes even eating cheese. Thing is, I stepped on a scale today. I’m thinner than I thought. And without getting into much detail, being so skinny upsets me. 3-4 more kg and I’d be at my desired weight (less people commented on my body at that weight and to be honest, I felt prettier too) So, to get to the final point, which food tricks do you incorporate in your daily like to make sure you don’t lose weight? Any ‘snack’ food that can help me with that? Please leave as many suggestions as you’d like and my arfid will choose what fits best lol.

This is a throw away account because I don’t want anything being traced back to me.
I (21 F) have been dating my bf (22M) for 8 months, things have been good but one sided arguments (me talking to a brick wall) are pretty common. I have an ex (20M) and as much as it pains me to say it he is very much involved here.
For context: I was dating my ex, I will call him D, for a total of 6 months and he treated me well, if I had a problem he would try to understand and he would put in the effort to change and I would do the same. We broke up because he moved away, and we ended on good terms but low/ no contact. When we were together, I told him my heart, body and soul was his. (Which is stupid and naive and weird I know) I guess when you’re young and you think you are in love you say stupid things . When I said that to him I didn’t think I actually meant it, but now here we are and I don’t think my feelings for him have really changed in the slightest. A part of me still loves him and I’m terrified that in the end it will always be him. Maybe it was because he was genuinely my first love and I’ve heard that you never really forget about your first “love” because that person is your first. The separation absolutely broke my heart and it took me a while to get over it, after I was sure I was able to move on I decided to try dating again and this is how I met my current bf, I will call him S, S was good at the start of the relationship. He was kind and funny, and he was supportive of me, however he has his flaws like everyone, and one of those flaws is that he’s very selfish and he likes to turn everything against me. He did not get me a birthday present which was very upsetting and while I don’t expect him to blow all his money on me, just a hand written card literally would have been enough and it would have meant a lot because it was heartfelt. But instead I got nothing. I am constantly having to pay for everything because he decided to quit his job before ensuring he had another one lined up. So he has no money, no savings, no nothing. I found out he was following these only fans girls on social media and liking their stuff while we’ve been together, I tried to confront him and he reacted very poorly and told me that I need to grow up and then he knew them before he met me and that I was stupid and that I was just yapping. He’s very selfish in bed and while I won’t go into detail, I will say that he likes to leave me hanging after he’s done and he doesn’t like to reciprocate what I do for him. He will also go out with his friends without telling me (which I do not care about I’m not his mother) what actually bothers me is that other girls will be there and he does not let me know and I have to find out through his social media, and when I say other girls will be there I don’t mean “it’s one big friend groups and there’s girls in it”I mean it almost looks like he’s on a 2-man. He also likes to make his social media look like he is single and I will ask him to do a trend with me and he will say no because he is “trying to be nonchalant”. Some more information about my ex and my bf: when I was with my ex it was like he was my best friend and we could talk about anything. My boyfriend is not the same and we have the same conversations on repeat everyday and I’m just not as comfortable with him as I was with my ex because of how he responds to my needs, so I find it kind of hard to talk to him about general stuff.
So fast forward to my predicament, because of all this, it’s been building up to a point where I want to leave him. But I do not know how to approach this. D recently contacted me to check up on me and see how I was doing. And while I appreciate him checking up on me I have informed him that I am in a relationship and I am not looking to rekindle anything with him at this point in time. He said he gets it and that he has a girlfriend and I am happy for him and I am glad he’s doing well. But he also keeps inviting me out with just him and I’ve turned him down every time because wtf?? I just say “maybe one day” and change the subject. He also keeps reminiscing on our relationship which is strange because he has a girlfriend. I feel bad for her and I would like to tell her what has been happening but I don’t even know her name I just know what she looks like because he never brings her up.
I respect his relationship so I would never tell him that I still partly have feelings for him. Because I don’t want to come in and ruin anything they may have, if I can even say that he still has an inkling of affection for me. I just feel like I am losing my mind and I feel like a horrible person.
I will not be leaving him for D. Yes sometimes I do miss D and I think about what we could have been if I had just waited and held on a little bit longer. But D is not the reason I am wanting to leave. He is just not a great boyfriend and it isn’t working but I don’t know how to approach it. I am also leaving because it’s not right that I am dating someone and sometimes thinking about someone else.
I am a horrible person, I am naive and stupid and I know it.
I just need advice on how to tell him that I am leaving because he doesn’t treat me well.

I've been exploring a concept of life that contrasts starkly with our Earthly experience. On Earth, life consists of organized, low-entropy beings (like humans, animals, and plants) that rely on high-entropy chemical reactions (such as metabolism) to survive in a chaotic, high-entropy environment.
Now, imagine the opposite: high-entropy beings living in low-entropy environments. Picture these beings as ever-changing blobs of inconsistent mass, thriving in stable, structured environments like the core of a star or the orderly arrangement of crystals.

Key Points

1. Appearance:
   • High-Entropy Beings: These beings would look like amorphous, ever-shifting masses, constantly changing shape and structure. They lack the consistent, organized form of Earthly life.
   • Comparison: Think of them like clouds of gas or plasma, but with a form of consciousness and ability to interact with their environment.
2. Energy Source:
   • High-Entropy Beings: They would draw energy from low-entropy reactions. For example, they might harness the orderly fusion reactions in a star’s core or the precise vibrational energy within a crystal lattice.
   • Comparison: On Earth, it's like a plant using the sun’s energy in photosynthesis but inverted; these beings use the highly structured, low-entropy reactions around them to sustain their chaotic form.
3. Persistence and Reproduction:
   • High-Entropy Beings: These beings might persist by stabilizing transient low-entropy structures within their chaotic mass, allowing them to maintain a sort of equilibrium. They could reproduce by budding off portions of their mass that develop into new entities.
   • Comparison: Imagine a cloud that can generate smaller clouds from its mass, similar to how some simple organisms on Earth reproduce through budding or fission.

Real-World Analogy

• Earthly Life: Organized entities like humans and animals use complex, disordered chemical processes to live in a chaotic environment. For example, our bodies are highly structured, but we constantly break down and rearrange molecules through digestion and metabolism.
• High-Entropy Life: These hypothetical beings would be the reverse. They would be disorganized, shifting entities that draw on the orderly processes in their stable environments to maintain their existence.

Example Scenario

Imagine a star's core, a low-entropy environment with highly structured nuclear fusion reactions. A high-entropy being within this core might look like a swirling, ever-changing blob of plasma. It uses the precise energy from fusion reactions to stabilize parts of its chaotic structure, allowing it to persist and function. When it needs to reproduce, a section of the blob detaches, and through exposure to the same structured environment, it grows into a new high-entropy being.
What do you think of the idea of high-entropy life forms thriving in low-entropy environments? Could such beings exist in our universe, perhaps in places we haven’t considered? I'm curious about your perspectives and welcome any feedback or criticism.

My (M) wife and I have been together for about 2 years, and have always talked about fostering children at some point. My wife has a daughter (3yo) from her previous marriage, but we have custody 90% of the time and I love her like she’s my own daughter - she calls me daddy, I remodeled her room, this little girl has me wrapped around her finger. Recently, my wife has brought up fostering a lot more, I think partially because a couple in our church fosters, and it’s been on her mind from talking to them. She brought it up again today, and I said that I wanted us to have a baby of our own before we foster. We’ve been trying to get pregnant for a while, and actually had a miscarriage at 8 weeks back in March. When my wife questioned why we would wait, I tried to explain that while I love her daughter like she’s my own, at the end of the day she’s not, that being a dad from the moment they’re born until the day I die is really important to me, and that our lives are already pretty hectic, I want to make sure that when she does get pregnant, I’m able to give enough attention as a dad to her daughter and our baby without the moving parts of fostering taking up time and energy. She was upset by this, and when I apologized she said she didn’t want to talk to me right now. I know that fostering is super important to her, but i don’t know how to explain the feeling of wanting a kid of my own without discounting how much I do love her daughter. AITA?
Editing really quick to say I’m absolutely in favor of fostering and want to do it - I just want to have a baby and at least get through the infant stage first.

Would any of you guys be interested in buying this Bully fancy dress costume
Having a clear out of stuff, thought I would ask here before putting it on amazon. I've worn it to a couple of parties so won't wear it again. You can't buy it anymore so it's really rare. White gloves are missing cos I needed them for a rave...

It hasn't arrived, and I don't know some of the parts, and yes I am one of the prebuilt scum. Here is the main stuff:
-Ryzen 7800x3D -RTX 4070(Got a 3060 for now, RTX 4070 will take 2 months to arrive) -2 TB SSD -32 GB(16 x 2) DDR5 Ram -Lapcare PC Case -Gigabyte B550M Aorus Motherboard
In my opinion, I may be held back by the 12 GB VRAM, but I think an experienced opinion will really help me out here.

I hope you see this.
Have a question: are you testing with internal servers are your studio?
I'm concerned that there may be two (or more) performance classes of servers being spun up (at random?) for most players. I've noticed dramatic differences in AI performance from one session to another, at random. It will swing from sessions where I'm able to clear whole locations solo to sessions where I am dying without even being able to make it part way through the starter town. The difference is staggering.
The only thing I could think of was that if multiple server classes are being allocated then people may be seeing a difference in AI performance between those classes. Or maybe it's just server load, especially if the individual machines themselves aren't dedicated for GWZ use.
I kind of wrote off some of these issues before, but the difference in AI behavior really can be dramatic.
If you're testing with internal servers that have a consistent spec then you may not notice the issue because the performance will be consistent.

One of the big differences between HL1 and HL2, is that in HL2, Gordon kinda HAS to be a hero. He does do some pretty heroic things. For example, infiltrating a highly secured prison with the only intent of rescuing Eli. And most importantly, accepting to infiltrate the Citadel.
The problem is that I don't see any reason as to why Ross's Gordon would care about doing those things. Seriously, I imagine things going like this:
Alyx: "My father has been captured and he's been brought to Nova Prospekt!" Gordon: "I miss the part where that's my problem"
But since this is a linear game, Ross will have no choice but to have Gordon go at Nova Prospekt anyway. So I'm really curious as to what sort of justification Ross is going to come up with!

We have been together for about 2 years now and throughout the relationship I have always been the more stable person and have helped guide her through many emotional situations. Things are usually good but occasionally we have an argument or a disagreement which is ok, but what follows is what is starting to bother me.
We have two very different methods of conflict resolution after an argument. I always want to talk about it soon, either immediately if it’s a small thing or later on that day if it’s a bigger deal. She usually immediately goes quiet if we are inperson or no-contact if we are not together at the time. This can range from 1/2 days for minor disagreements/arguments to 5-7 days for bigger fights. We have only had 3 larger arguments. She says she does this to avoid screaming at me if we talked about it immediately. I have zero tolerance for yelling at eachother due to childhood trauma which I am glad she respects as I would never and have never raised my voice at her.
I really struggle during these no-contact times. While it may help her sort through her emotions it makes me dwell on issues and develop feelings of resentment. I usually am more upset once we talk to each other again than I was during the actual disagreement. This is especially the case when I view it as a minor disagreement. After the no-contact period we always talk and resolve the issues but I wish we could do this earlier.
Recently we were talking and she made a comment which I thought was inappropriate, I called her out on it and let her know how it made me feel and instead of talking about it she went quiet and canceled our plans for the weekend. To me this was a very minor issue that would have been resolved with a 10min discussion but now it had been escalated to a 2 day issue and disrupted our plans. I had been working a new job and looked forward to seeing her as my time had been more strained and I was still adjusting to my new schedule leaving me unable to spend time with family and friends, but now I felt as it was taken away from me. It makes me feel like I cannot bring up issues I feel as these no-contact periods feel like punishment.
My girlfriend is a chronic over thinker and I am more level-headed. More often then not I am helping her through a situation and at times she has said she thought I was going to break up with her about something minor. This is the first time I have seriously considered it. She talks about our future together and looks forward to movong in and having kids together but I am worried about this. I cannot live with someone who is constantly giving me the cold shoulder over minor things.
I care about her a lot and want to somehow find a solution to this but I am not sure how. Nearly everything else in our relationship is great other than these periods where I feel like I lose her. I would appreciate any advice or comments and I will answer any questions or clarifications you all may havne.
TLDR: When we argue, I want to resolve the issue by talking soon, she needs days. This makes me feel resentful and miss her, especially when it is a minor issue.

So while I was looking around Torn, I somehow came across the Community page with links, etc. One was Marriage. It took me a few moments to realize that those were players who met, fell in love and got married in real life.
Touched because of this, and because I'm a total sap who is in love with love, I decided to peep two of the married person's pages.
They were both in a faction called The Drunk Tank. Both listed as 'fallen' and 'resting in peace'. The one married player is called Meow1 [1381836] and their spouse is called peteo66 [382485]
This is what was written on the 'how we met' part of the marriage area:
"Meow1 & peteo662011 - I met Meow1 [1381836] about a year and a half ago on Torn when she was just a little kitten. She came to visit the US in July 2010. We got along great. I moved to the UK in Dec 2010 and we were married on May 10th, 2011."
Y'all, when I looked up what 'fallen' and 'resting in peace' meant, I admit I got teary eyed. Both dead irl? From what I understand, those are verified passings, so it's not an in-game thing. I don't really have any thing else to say. Just wanted to .... I dunno. It just hit me hard. I wasn't expecting to see that. I was expecting to see two people, still active in the game. But last on 2000 some days ago. 7 years give or take. Guess I'm just curious if anyone knew them or knew of them. Fucking heartbreaking. yeah, I'm sad about 2 people I'll never know and never knew. The fact they met here and fell in love across the Ocean and got married was so fairy tale and I was all ready for a great story still going on. This is awful :(

Guerchard comes really close to accusing the duke as we start the chapter. Let’s get started talking about it. I’ve got some suggested prompts, but feel free to discuss anything you like in the comment section.

1. When Guerchard seems to come to his senses and begs the duke to stay to help him against Lupin - is that an act or does he really think the duke will help?
2. There is an intense mind game going on between these two men. What was your favorite jab?
3. What did you think about the end of the chapter?
4. Anything else you’d like to discuss about this chapter?

Last line of the chapter: Guerchard staggered to his feet and cried hoarsely, frantically: “Stop him from leaving the house! Follow him! Arrest him! Catch him before he gets home!”

My friend and I like to play games together, but he only has an Xbox, and I am awful with a controller, so we are having a hard time finding games to play together. I have an Xbox 1, so if the game supports K&M, that's fine too.
What we play currently: Halo Valheim War Thunder Wreckfest
What we have played: COD, but we are both just over it ARK Conan Palworld Insurgency, we played it on xbox, but I just struggled with controller
What we will look into: Arma Reforger, I just discovered this is crossplay Back 4 Blood, we play it briefly on xbox, but its now apparently crossplay
Interested in: We both enjoy Shooters, RPGs, Base building. He has recently become really interested in Escape from Tarkov like games, he plays Vigor.
Not interested in: BF 2042, we both were dissapointed with the launch, and are probably not going to play it The Finals, I tried it, but I think its probably too fast paced for us Not really looking for competitive, super fast paced games, twitch shooters, cartoony, cutesy, or SUPER grindy games (WT is an exception), open to more casual games potentially.
Thank you for any suggestions you may have!

Καλησπέρα, πριν 14 χρόνια τουλάχιστον είχα πετύχει μια ταινία στην τηλεόραση, είχα τρομάξει όντας μικράκι και δεν την συνέχισα αλλά από τότε σε συζητήσεις πάντα ψάχνω να βρω άμα κάποιος την αναγνωρίζει. Θα ήθελα την βοήθεια σας λοιπόν.
Ήταν κάποια ταινία που κυκλοφόρησε σίγουρα πριν το 2010. Ήταν κατηγορίας θρίλερ.
Θυμάμαι δύο σκηνές που διαδραματίστηκαν κιόλας συνεχόμενα. Ήταν ένα παιδί περίπου 8 10 χρόνων στο νοσοκομείο, ξαπλωμένος σε κρεβάτι με κλειστές νοσοκομειακές κουρτίνες γύρω γύρω. Και πίσω από τις κουρτίνες εμφανίστηκε κάτι σαν πνεύμα ή δαίμονας που προσπαθούσε να τον πείσει ότι είναι ο αδερφός του. Τον φώναζε με το όνομα του, που πλέον δυστυχώς δεν το θυμάμαι, ψιθυριστά άσε με να μπω τάδε, άνοιξε και εν τέλει το παιδί του επέτρεψε να μπει και εμφανίστηκαν απότομα δύο χέρια στην εσοχή της κουρτίνας με πολύ μακριά δάχτυλα και νύχια. Η σκηνή κόπηκε μετά και είχε απότομο και δυνατό ήχο.
Συνεχίζεται...

Warning: This is mostly rambling cause I feel down and alone.
I have been healing myself for the last few months and I have notices that every two months or so some repressed problem of mine comes flying at me, screaming to be solved. I get sort of depressed and sometimes a little bit psychotic and once I address in and let it go, the bad mood disappears.
Anyway I have stumbled upon a big self-hating part of me that has been twisting me left and right this past month. It usually doesn’t take this long for this awful feeling to go away so I am really tired and even loosing hope that it’ll go away eventually from time to time. I probs just need to let it be and it will run itself dry with time, right?
I don’t really do anything. All good habits I build are just crumbling. I don’t feel like participating in society, I just want to stare at the wall until the tornado inside breaks and then I can cry it out. Then the hollowness again and repeat and repeat and repeat. Now I am not even crying cause part of me hates me but because this is so so frustrating.

Well that's it, another 38 league games down and we finish in 11th place. Even with the European football I don't think this is gonna be a season to look back on fondly.
Our league position flatters us, the truth is we've been absolutely dire since late last year and we've never really found form again because of it, injuries haven't helped at all but I think a good portion of the blame at this point should fall onto now former manager De Zerbi. The tactical stubbornness cost us a lot this season and his lack of defensive management really shone through with Caicedo to use as a crutch.
On the positives at least we made a decent account of ourselves in Europe, finishing top of what many people considered the group of death and defeated Roma although it meant nothing unfortunately after the first leg against them.
Transfers wise João Pedro had a great first season, although lacking composure in front of goal a lot of the time getting 20 goals is a big feat and something he can hopefully build on. Bart Verbruggen also showed his potential when given the opportunity to play but needs to be our #1 from next season. Unfortunately I don't think any of the other transfers particular impressed whatsoever, Baleba is raw but the potential is definitely there, Igor was a blunder in my eyes; never really saw the potential in him at Fiorentina and I think he's nothing more than an okay rotation option and when it comes to Fati, the less said the better.
Van Hecke impressed a lot even with the poor defense throughout the season, and should hopefully show that even more next season. Let's just hope we can keep hold of Groß
Overall a season to forget, but one to build upon with a new manager and hopefully a few new players so we can have a much better next season.
And as always, UTFA.

Starting Minecraft in a newer Version like 1.20.6 results in black flickering inside of menus. The title screen works fine.
The flickering was during the loading screen too before, but some config I applied fixed that, but honestly I have no idea what it was. (I'm brand new to Linux)
The problem is not present on older versions like 1.12.2 or Beta 1.7.
I have tried using X11 and there the flickering does not occur, but I really don't want to use X11. Everything was stuttery (compared to the very fluent Wayland) and my scaling options didn't apply correctly.
I would really like to keep using Wayland, is there any way to fix this black flickering?

• Nobara Linux 39 (KDE Plasma) x86_64
• Wayland
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
• AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
• KWin

Appreciate any help!

Hi all,
I got delivery my model Y RWD LFP battery last year in september. Im still having some questions about charging the battery and keeping it optimal.
I have a tesla wall charger gen 3 that goes to a maximum of 32 amps. 1 phase. I charge at max 16 amps.

1. Im not doing alot of driving every day so say for example the battery is 100% on sunday it will be 5 percentage of driving every day. I now charge once per week (saturday or sunday) to 100% and put the percentage limit to 50% and wait until 50 or 60 percent to charge it again to 100%. Is this a good way of doing it? or should I just keep it at 100% and charge it from 90 or 95 to 100% every day?
   
2. Say for example im done charging in the evening at 100%. is it an issue the battery stays at 100% the whole night and i drive it the next day in the afternoon?
   
3. Im I overthinking this too much? does it really matter?
   

Thanks, hope to get a final answer to this..

7% earnings beat and 1% revenue beat. About 3% growth. The analysts were really pushing for 4% growth, and they're disappointed even though medical products is growing at 6% and pharmaceuticals are growing at 6%. The rest of their products are weak, especially their HST HILROM business, which is incurring larger R&D expenses. They expect to exit the year at 4 to 5%, but they have some jaded shareholders.
