TL;DR: Any clear speed advantage Nashor's Tooth has over Spear of Shojin as a first item does not translate into a meaningful advantage in gold earned by the time second item is completed. And Iceborn Gauntlet will make you earn significantly less than the other items I looked at.
Spreadsheet of data being discussed: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WX9ggNuMTLUW8187RCGYDcwserSGvqyO087exDgRuc4/edit?usp=sharing
There are a lot of numbers, but the important ones are in the F column labeled "Income Delta". This is the difference in estimated average income rate for the item across builds with it as the first item compared to the weighted (by number of games) average estimated income rate of all builds included.
The average completion time for second item is ~20 minutes (20.07), so multiplying this value by 20 gives the expected average difference in total gold earned at 20 minutes compared to the average. 5 above or below 0 would be a difference of +/- 100 gold at 20 minutes, which would not be that huge. Magical Footwear should do better than that on average if not being able to buy boots early is not a problem.
The trends based on this are that items with attack speed do better on average, items with AD tend to do better than AP, not building damage leads to significantly lower income, and building Titanic Hydra gives best rate of income.
But really the only significant difference is that Iceborn Gauntlet is significantly worse than the other items. It is estimated to be over 600 below average at 20 minutes. And it is most likely to have the Magical Footwear minor rune.
That Liandry's Torment has the lowest income rate of AP items is surprising, since the data comes from patch 14.10 where the Blasting Wand in the build was replaced by Fated Ashes which should be a good component for clear speed. I did check, and in the sample data people are usually rushing Fated Ashes, so it is not a case of people not knowing about it.
Item completion times are overwhelmingly dictated by the cost of the item / items in typical build including it and the tuning of game balance as relates to gold income. So with the exception of champions with special mechanics that can lead to high income variance, item completion times are reliable even at fairly low sample sizes.
I am accounting for cases of upgraded boots being completed after second item by adjusting the cost of boots by the frequency of such an occurrence on a per build basis.
There is more to be said, but I am out of time for now. Check back tomorrow for more in one or more replies from me to this post for more information.

Hi all, I'd like to start preparing to know what apartment buildings/managements are respectable/good before I end up moving to NYC in the future. I've browsed StreetEasy to see currently open units, but I'd like to also learn about what other buildings (that might be fully occupied) people would recommend. There's so many apartment buildings in Hells Kitchen/Hudson Yards/Chelsea area haha. I'm planning to come up and just wander the streets to see buildings/apartments might be nice... but any recommendations would be very helpful so I can know what to target! I know of The Olivia, Longacre, Avalon, and the Orion.
Ideally, I'd like to live in a modern/modern-ish highrise building, probably would just live in a studio, in building or in unit laundry, and in building gym would be nice! Budget wise I guess I'd be looking for around $2.5-3.5k/month (probably would end up being towards the upper side of the range based off what I mentioned prior). I'm looking towards the west side (Hells Kitchen, Hudson Yards, Chelsea) and wouldn't want to live anywhere beyond 10th Ave because it's such a trek to the subway stations haha.
Any recommendations or advice on how to find apartment buildings would be appreciated :) thanks!

My name is Greg. It's been some time since I was in school as a student and I’m now a teacher in the same school I went to more than 20 years ago. I have two small children and they’ve reached an age where summer has started to have meaning. Their excitement, and the excitement I see in my students, has filled me with a reminiscence of the summers of my youth. It makes me simultaneously a little sad but also incredibly happy. I think of my friends, my parents, and my youth and I get to smile at the joy I felt then. I see my own kids today and it makes me smile at all the possibilities that summers hold for them. This is my story of summers past. But this story is only partly reminiscence. Much of it is just a feeling. A feeling I’ve not felt since…
The school bell was ringing and I was running. Teachers were trying to tell us to walk and be careful over break but we stopped listening at 3:30 pm and it was already 15 seconds past that. I grabbed my bag, my gym clothes, and my drawing pad from my locker and quickly shoved the now-irrelevant papers and notebooks in the closest garbage can. I came to regret this last action later, not because there was anything of value in those binders full of notes and paper, but because I missed out on burning them in an epically large neighborhood bonfire we had a few weeks after school ended.
The door slammed open and I breathed in the free air… Summer!
Eli, Kevin and my older brother Charlie were outside waiting for me and we were off on the first adventure of the summer: The way home.
The way home was easy by modern means. We could take Old Ryan Road to a sidewalk to a gravel siding to our subdivision. But the way we took was better in every way.
“Through the marshes” we charged. We called the path “the marshes” because it regularly flooded but it was really an old nature path the city built years ago. It was overgrown and completely underutilized. It had a deep ditch on one side and was tree-lined on the other. The long grass on the path had been tamped down but it was still up to our knees. We liked to imagine monsters lurking in the depths of the ditches and the dark of the woods, and we had to watch each other's back while making regular expeditions into the woods for weapons. A good stick was the best protection and, following proper cover and advance techniques taught to us by Kevin’s neighbor the veteran, we made our way out of the path and clear of the monsters.
All except Eli, who had clearly been possessed by some kind of ghoul and was now “it”. He attacked at the opening of the marshes, where the tall grass met the road. He roared and held his stick above his head like a Tuskin Raider from Star Wars. We all ran for it! Scattered in three directions. Expecting to be hunted.
I went for the woods that ran behind the houses in our neighborhood. But I had a long way to go before I was safe at home. I saw Eli attempt to catch Charlie but Charlie was about a foot taller and, despite his complete lack of athletic ability, he was quick!
I crept through the woods, staying in the shadows as best as I could, but It was 3:45 pm in June so even the thickest canopy couldn’t really give good concealment. I was exposed. I had to make a move. Eli had been moving in the opposite direction of me a minute ago but I didn’t know where he was now. “Go!” I said and made to sprint along the tree line, always ready to dive into the woods.
Suddenly Eli was behind me! He came from the woods and was so much faster than me. He had a smaller stick now and threw it like a boomerang at my back. It hit me under my arm and I fell to the ground in a dramatic, yet heroic death.
“Rise now, servant!” Eli said. I was his second now. Doomed to serve him forever! Or until we got home. I’d done pretty good and home was only a little farther. We took up a defensive position now, protecting the house from those who would try to enter.
It took a few minutes for Charlie and Kevin to make their way to the house. I saw Charlie first and screamed as an alarm. Servants can’t talk. Plus I was still loyal to my non-Eli counterparts, but had to be fair. Eli came running and took off after Charlie but as he did I saw Kevin out of the corner of my eye make his way up behind Eli and as I opened my mouth to shout again, he raised his stick and shouted “Safe!” while stepping on the porch. Charlie had gotten away and was still fair game. Eli told me to hold and protect the porch. I did and would take out Charlie if I had to. He was my older brother so I might take just a little pleasure in throwing a stick at him.
Jokes on me, Charlie slipped past Eli and tackled me to the ground. He was bigger than me. I lost that battle, badly, and he made it to the porch. Eli, being a good comrade, berated me about getting tackled while I told him what a failure he was at catching Charlie. Twice! We smiled, laughed at each other, and went inside!
Next adventure: Convince the parents that pizza and a sleepover are the best ideas.
Me: “Dad. Pizza, movies, and Eli and Kevin sleepover? What do you think.”
Dad: “I think you think I have all the money” he looked over his glasses at me. “Ok, fine. I’m in!”
We knew Dad was an easy mark. Mom would have had conditions. They would have been completely legitimate, but who wants conditions?
The final adventure of this final day of school: The Sleepover
Pizza was the ultimate sleepover treat. No work, no waiting, and the cute girl four grades ahead of me was the delivery driver. Did I exist to this girl? No chance. Did that mean anything to me? Nope!
Dad rented three movies from Block Buster: The Hunt for Red October, Silence of the Lambs, and IT. He liked thrillers. We weren’t complaining. We were allowed to watch The Hunt for Red October because Dad thought the original Bond was someone worthy of our time. The other two were “too scary” for us kids. But we weren’t so chicken as to let a good thing pass us by. The tapes were in the house, and we wanted to watch them. When would they be back? When we were 18? Nope, we couldn’t wait that long. But how to get them?
Our domain was the basement. Obviously. What parents wanted to share the TV with kids? We were given The Hunt for Red October, which my parents had seen in theaters, and they stayed upstairs and watched IT. We could hear Mom when we ventured up to sneak a peek giving her patented scared gasp, like she did in the car when Dad drove a little too crazy in traffic. It was obvious that we needed to get a hold of that movie.
Before we could start The Hunt for Red October, which was undoubtedly good, Kevin revealed that he’d pulled off the greatest heist of our generation; he’d swiped the tape for Silence of the Lambs and left The Hunt for Red October in its place in the case. Genius!
The Silence of the Lambs was a true marvel of cinema and at some point in the night, everyone had put something over their face and pretended to be Hannibal Lecter as he skinned his guard's face off to escape. Charlie’s was the best. He’d gone upstairs and gotten a piece of pizza, stripped the cheese off of it, and cut a hole for the mouth. The sauce and rippled dough made it pretty convincing in the dark. I was the youngest, so naturally the easiest mark, and he surprised me with it first, vaulting over the back of the couch and giving me his craziest eyes. It was effective. I didn’t sleep well for a few weeks, though I’d never give him credit for it.
My parent’s movie was longer than ours so we had to wait downstairs for it to end. After the credits rolled on our movie, Kevin turned off the lights and the TV all at once and we were in complete darkness. I don’t know if you know how The Silence of the Lamb ends, but a pitch-black basement is a terrifying setting after watching that movie. Kevin laughed from one corner, then must have moved quickly to the opposite corner and said, “It puts the lotion on its skin…” in his creepiest imitation of Buffalo Bill. I nearly died when he grabbed me and pulled me to the couch. I was in the movie for a second. I was Clarese. I was in Bill’s basement. I was doomed. Fortunately for me, Eli or Charlie made some noise and Kevin headed off to catch them too.
Then I saw the light at the top of the stairs, got my bearings, and B-lined for it. Charlie must have heard the stairs and figured out how to get up and so did Eli. We got to the top, opened the door, and proceeded to lock Kevin in his own nightmare. Awesome! We laughed and high-fived as he pushed his way out after a short struggle. Plenty of quiet insults were thrown through the door on his way out.
As my parents went to bed they told us to keep it down and start to calm down for the night. We had every intention of doing so, but after they went to bed, we discovered, to our great excitement, that IT was still in the VCR. “Yes!” whispered Eli in his quietest scream of excitement. His face, wide-eyed and mouth agape, said everything that we were all thinking. Two thrillers in one night. And it was only 9 pm!
IT finished to a room of frightened looks and excited hearts. We definitely should not have watched that and Silence of the Lambs on the same night. But we did and not one of us was going to suggest that we were scared. No, instead we snuck outside. Sewer-dwelling monsters be damned!
This was a time of dusky-yellow street lights and quiet subdivisions. It was midnight and we were alone outside. Kevin had a small flashlight that he’d wisely grabbed from the cupboard, something he’d learned was necessary on a few previous forays outside at night, but the moon was enough to illuminate our way between streetlights. We passed behind Kaia’s house and she opened the back door as we were near the middle of the yard. “Hey!” she whispered. “What do you think you’re doing?” She gave us a look somewhere between mad and intrigued. “Just out for a stroll” whispered back Charlie. “Wanna come with?” I punched Charlie secretly. He knew I had a crush on Kaia. Good big brother but I was nervous to ask her out and this didn’t seem like the time. “Nope!” she said, looking at my brother, then she made quick eye contact with me and gave me a mischievous grin.
We kept walking and Eli suggested we go to the woods, to our fort. After two scary movies and a whole pile of imagination, this was the last place I wanted to go. But everyone had been razzing me about my crush on Kaia, and they hadn’t missed her little look, so I was feeling emboldened enough to take the risk.
The woods once backed up to a farmhouse with a barn and outbuildings and a small industrial plant. Our neighborhood was the old farm field. The woods, however, was left nearly as it had been and was full of old rusting junk left behind from the farm and plant. There was a car frame and several tires, a refrigerator, a stack of chicken wire, a few car hoods, and a random assortment of smaller farm and industrial parts. Safe was certainly not the way I’d describe this woods, but it was fun.
At night, however, it became entirely different. We’d formed a path through it over time, using the car hoods to go over low, wet spots, and using the larger items as landmarks. But they were harder to find at night and the wind and shadows played enough tricks to make our imaginations roil. Toward to interior of the woods, the space opened up where someone had dumped tons or gravel long ago. On one side it formed a berm, hiding the now-abandoned industrial building, and on the other was a low area where natural rocks formed a kind of flat area. The natural perimeter around it was entirely overgrown now and the trees and bushes formed the walls of our fort. We’d built nothing there but the trees and the gravel berm formed natural barriers that closed it in. The best part, the trees were covered in vines that were just strong enough to let us swing on. If you started at the high point of the berm, you could swing 30 or 40 feet with ease.
Now, in the moonlight, our fort was infinitely more ominous. It was additionally scary because Eli kept disappearing and then jumping out with his best Pennywise impression. He even tackled Kevin at one point and the two of them rolled around for a few seconds. It was a pretty fair fight but Eli eventually pinned Kevin and pretended to bite his head off.
Now in the fort, we decided ‘kick the can’ was the best bet. Charlie drew the short straw and the rest of us bolted away to sneak around and get the best positions. I was about to go as Charlie’s back was turned, but as I got up to run, someone else ran in and absolutely punted the can and bolted off. They were followed by another, smaller shadow, and the two of them disappeared into the bushes. Charlie yelled a curse and reset the can.
Movement came from my right. I whispered “Eli? Kevin? Which one of you got the can?”. No reply. Then two girls jumped out of the dark. “Ahh!” I yelled in a surprisingly high-pitched voice. Hannibal and Pennywise reeled in my brain and I was about to be eaten by them both. But no, it was Kaia and her younger sister Amber. I blushed with tremendous embarrassment as I replayed the sound I’d just made in my head. Just as I got hold of myself a little more, the two of them ran away and Charlie replaced them with a grin. He kicked me and said, “your it!”
I moved to the center of the circle and I heard the others rustling through the undergrowth. I heard a clear cough from my left and went for it. As I did, Eli let out his best Tarzan call and literally swung from a vine to the center of the clearing and kicked the can into the bushes. Kevin stood from the bushes in front of me and chuckled. The two of them had planned it out.
Each of us in turn got caught and placed in the middle to defend the can. Kaia was the quickest to get out of the center. Turns out she’s incredibly competitive. Who knew? Amber was also pretty good, but Kaia and I teamed up to do another Tarzan swing. Mostly because it looked super cool when Eli did it. I felt her eyes on me as I swung. She ‘whooped’ as I got the can and taunted her little sister.
We dropped off the girls on our way home. I was walking with Kaia at the back and she gave me a sly kiss on the cheek as we approached their house. I nearly melted. We all agreed we should definitely sneak out again this summer. No one else saw Kaia’s kiss and no one else ever knew. I liked that little bit just for me.
(Side note: I married Kaia one day. Best thing I ever did.)
We got home and settled in for bed on couches, the ground, and the beanbag chair in the corner. Kevin seemed to always call the beanbag chair. Oh well. We started another movie but no one was invested now. We slipped off to sleep, dirty and tired but with full hearts, as the movie played in the background of our dreams.
Summer day 1: complete success.
… 4:03 am
“Oh my god! why the blue screen?” *clicks off TV*

Every value that we thought we had, debased and razed to save us

The Based Department - Structure and Organization

Reformed from the entirety of the Russian Intelligence community, The Based Department has become a united giant, responsible for all of the intelligence, government cyberwarfare, and partially - state AI research programs within the country. With massive resources, the only thing that held the Based Department was the Ethics committees and idealism of the Department itself, willing to defy the reputation of KGB and FSB. With the Commonwealth fallen, however, and the Ethics Committee itself giving the Department a blank cheque, there are few things that hold it back.
The Department was based around multiple Directorates, responsible each for a sector of the intelligence network. With the passage of time and the rebuilding done after the collapse, many things have changed. As of now, the following is the core structure of the Based Department:

Name	Function
Secretariat of the Based	The chief administration of the Based Department. Responsible for the overall functioning.
First Main Directorate	Responsible for the overall external intelligence work. Includes multiple subdepartments each responsible for one of the hyperstates.
Second Main Directorate	Counter-intelligence. Responsible for keeping the Department out of leaks, and preventing detection of our operations within Karakum and abroad
Third Main Directorate	Military Intelligence. Responsible for maintaining our battlenetwork operations.
Fourth Main Directorate	ELINT, Cyberwarfare, Secure communications, etc. The Largest of the Directorates, with multiple subdirectorates.
Fifth Main Directorate	Currently responsible for guarding the Vaults and bases of the Based Department
Sixth Directorate	Currently responsible for subverting the organized crime in the country to our cause
Seventh Main Directorate	Responsible for Spetsnaz operations
Eighth Main Directorate	Responsible for VDV operations and air transport
Scientific Department	Responsible for the overall R&D of the Department. Prioritizes AI and cybernetic fields, but overall has enough staff to cover all important research fields.
Supply Directorate	Responsible for the overall procurement and supply of the Vaults and the bases
Tenth Department	The paranormal department of the Based. Responsible for unusual cases (like the Atlantic cargo case), also sometimes takes the load of other departments. Some of the newer projects will go there.
Engineering and Technical Service Department	Responsible for technical maintenance and everyday services of all facilities and equipment in active Based Department use. This department is responsible for design and construction of new facilities and routes of communication as well as repair and maintenance of the existing ones.
Medical Department	Responsible for the health and medical care of the staff. Includes all specter of specialists, including cyberhealth specialists and psychologists
Manufacturing Department	Responsible for the overall equipment manufacturing and parts of the maintenance. Currently able to provide artisanial low-level manufacturing, but large projects will require specific tools and facilities.

In addition, the Department includes commeetees (Including Ethics committee and AI relations committee), subdepartments, and other structurers providing it with a significant reach within the intelligence field.

The Based Department - Equipment

Before the collapse, the Department has developed and upgraded a part of the Commonwealth arsenal for their own needs. This includes weapons, accessories, and technology related to clandestine operations.
Considering our work, the Based Department specialized weapons are primarily based on either non-lethal apprehension of targets, or a covert assassination leaving no trace.

• The main weapon suites, are generally equipped with equipment focused on stealth and silent eliminations.

However, some technology was developed in the 60s to better suit our needs.
[M - probably retroactive development. All successors should have the tech too, will work on cleaning what parts are ok and what I'll need to develop myself in the current continuity.

Incapacitating agents

While a lot of our population is synthetic, biological organisms are still widespread, and in order to incapacitate them easier, we have developed new agents.

• We are to work on the development an alternative to Kolokol-1, a fentanyl derived knockout gas. Through the genetic modification of bacteria, supercomputer bioreseach, and other smart buzzwords we will try to develop a less-lethal, more effective alternative, in several forms.
  
• • An invisible agent, designed for use in a similar way to Nord-Ost operation. Pumped in airways, it should be able to slowly knockout those without protection from chemical or biological agents.
• • A thick gas, for use in grenades. Designed for better and faster penetration, potentially able to penetrate some of the filters.
• • A liquid agent capable to be delivered through water supply or injection.

The Based Department has been using agents in various forms, using them to prevent hostage situations or to quietly infiltrate a compound at night. In addition to grenades and gas canisters, The Based Depatrment has developed a "knockout flechette" ammunition, used in our next-generation guns. Contianing a small amount of the Kolokol-X agent, it was designed to penetrate power armor and release the agent inside, incapacitating the person inside directly.

EM stuff

The Commonwealth has been using EMP and EM since long. While Russian technology is quite EMP-resistant due to mass use of photonics and shielding, we do use them widely, including on a personal level.

• A similar to Kolokol-X, a flechette ammunition containing a tiny flux-compression generator EMP, is designed to deliver a strong charge on the impact. Likely penetrating the armor and shorting it from the inside, it should also work against androids, robots and Alfr, breaking the shielding from the inside.
• Widely used on the aircraft and against drones, we have adapted Active Denial System into a portable "laser gun". Firing a tight, metamaterial-focused microwave beam, it works both against human targets (heating up skin and causing signfiicant pain), and against androids/robots (disabling or destroying electronics/photonics) from a 1,5 km away, it works well to push forward during assault while minimizing casualties.

The Suits

While Spetsnaz and VDV are using DAGOTH, the Based Department operatives were designing something of their own - based on the superior Russian fashion industry.
The Suit series of equipment is a broadly applied technology for discreet, personal protection, used by intelligence agents and VIP.

The Suit

The main protection of an intelligence agent. Despite the implication, the Suit is not necessarily a black tuxedo - the technology provides adaptation to all the styles present in the country.

• The first layer is a skin-colored lower layer suit based on the supersilk ballistic fiber. Designed to not stand out, it provides a modest protection of the uncovered parts, and reinforces the rest of the protection
• The clothes themselves are likewise made out of ballistic fiber with additional protection seamlessly integrated into the vital parts. The heavier the clothing, the better the protection. The ranges are nearly anything you can wear.
• Winter clothing (very important in the Far North) has smaller heaters installed, and provides the best protection.
• The headgear also provides protection, and looks good doing so.

The Suit is unlikely to endure agaisnt a modern soldier, but can reasonably stop an armed guard or turn a lethal shot into an injury, providing our agents protection in the dire times.

The Stealth suit

Similar to the Suit, the SS is designed for inflitration and stealth operation:

• The base is similar to the suit - but also much more sleek, and fully covering the face.
• The suit layers are made out of smart fabric and smart sensors, allowing to quickly and precisely change the coloring and texture of the suit, and potentially - even it's form - turning a beachwear into a tuxedo into a dress.
• High-definition realistic holographic projectors are able to enhance the stealth further, either completing the stealth or using it to turn the appearance into something entirely else, especially from the range.
• The soles are made out of vibration-absorbing material to prevent from causing too much noise.
• Overall the SS has less protection, but still good enough to protect against most non-military weapons like older assault rifles.

Based Department - Personnel

The Department is a diverse organization, containing people of various ethnicities (mostly Russian, Polish, Karakum and French, turned into Everlasting androids), and fields of experience. Containing humans, androids, synths and even hypercode, in the halls of the Department facilities you can see nearly any combination of faces, clothes and body parts imaginable. This, also, helps them to blend in the population.

The Agents

Working primarily in the field, the Agents are the investigators, intelligence gatherers, and our reconnaissance. Wearing suits when they can, and what they need when they need, they generally pose as Siberian hunters in remote tundra, general population in the cities, and police investigators when they can, the Agents are responsible for a large part of our intelligence network, currently focused on Karakum. Some might stay in one place, providing general coverage of the region, while others are walking the earth waiting for their next assignment.
Some of the Agents exist as a hypercode - scouting the Internet from

The Negotiators

A small subset of the Department, they are responsible for working with the public and "convincing" them to join our cause. Through charm and less charming means, they are quite capable in the art of making people cooperate. They rarely stay in one place, preferring to maintain the aura of mysteriousness around them. In the Department, they are mostly nice, but also prone to swindling stuff from others in poker,

The Specialists

Those are, ironically, the furthermost people from warfare and operations. Those are procurement specialists - the closest thing we have to the outer world and our supply lifeblood. They have good identities (most of them are their actual identities pre-Collapse), stable remote job and a degree of prescence in the community. In general, their goals are, depending on a person:

• Maintain our sources of income - at this point, that's mostly cryptocurrencies generation, freelance and a small amount of the shell companies - a combination of real and fake, small and medium-sized shell companies. The income is currently more than modest, but provides us with enough cash for our support. They are responsible for giving us assets while staying low.
• Maintain steady supply of necessaries. Mostly, we are reliant on nutrients - while we can recover some and generate others, Department would rather currently continue being supplied through cheaper and more available methods. Likewise, off-the-shelf components provide the Department with more flexibility during maintenance. Through a wide network of distributors, our specialists are supplying us with what we need to survive and operate, leaving no trace.
• Provide us with special procurements - from custom orders to equipment to bribes.

The Spetsnaz

Silent and deadly, they are responsible for most of our combat oprerations. Using Genda/Dagoth chassis and even beyond that, they are the most elite unit of the Commonwealth, and among the best on the planet. With vast experience and training in every field imaginable, when we send these "Genda" Everlasting, we are sending our best.

The Brain

The custodian of the Mount Yamantau and the Based Department as a whole, the Brain is a combination of multiple supercomputer complexes and a building-sized neural mass. Containing the consiousness of the late King of Russia, the Gigachad, it is now, perhaps, the smartest being in the whole creation. Responsible for a large part of our current protection and cyberwarfare operations, the Yamantau is being used as both the HQ and R&D laboratory, where the Department's finest are researching new and old technology. The AI Singularity is coming, and the Based Department is on it's front and center.

My wife seems to have some sort of permanent postpartum depression. She has not taken any antidepressants because it seems to get better for enough time that we think it has gone away. Then the cycle continues. She does have thyroid issues and PCOS, all of which can contribute to mood swings. Pelvic floor issues and the start of prolapse probably do not help either...
The kids have special needs, but they are all over the age of 5. This was a huge stressor and still is. I have adjusted work to help with therapy appointments, etc. But the stress and fear of the future is still there.
What confuses me is that she seems to be able to control it with others. When I spoke to a family member about our issues, they said "she obviously can control it, so she obviously knows what she is doing is wrong".
This statement makes me conflicted. Does this really mean that my wife could control her anger but simply chooses not to?
Here are a few examples: Example 1. We were supposed to visit someone one day. I didn't want to call and ask the time since my wife had spoken to them. If I did, she would be humiliated because "it shows that you don't value me,otherwise you would have asked me". So I asked her when we were supposed to go. She got upset "I don't know, they said come whenever" I said I just need to plan the day, she got angry saying she can't predict the future and that she isn't my secretary. Note she is yelling during this.
Example 2. I go out to do errands. I have the grocery list, but see something that's on sale that we also need. It just happens to not be on the list. I buy it. When I get home, she has a full rage moment because I "can never stick to the plan" and "once we have decided, that should mean something"
Example 3. This is when I realized that we are beyond the fix-it-yourself stage.
She is having a headache due to sleep deprivation following a trip. Now, I drove on that trip 75% of the time. Yes, that 25% helped, but the point is that I am tired too. She says she is going to take a nap, please watch the kid. Food is all set, kids fed, you shouldn't need to turn on the stove at all. I just got off work, but I am trying to help so I say ok. She goes to sleep. Now I am watching the kids (both under 10) and making sure they are not doing things to wake her up, otherwise she has a long complaint about how she isn't ever allowed to rest. One of the kids asks if they can have a grilled cheese sandwich. I am conflicted, do I make it or not? I figured that's simple enough, I can do that, and the kids will be quiet once they have eaten. I do this, and everything is fine. After the 4 hour nap, she wakes up and has a full rage moment saying I told you not to cook, I can't sleep in peace etc. Then she straight up called me a liar (which she actually hasn't called me). I apologize but try to explain that the kids are fine, nothing happened. She then throws a metal pot at the ground, and then storms off to a room and slams the door. The kids are crying uncontrollably. My wife is saying how my family is the cause of all of the kids' picky eating, etc. I didn't like it, but stopped saying anything.
Here is what did it for me (you are probably thinking what he hell is wrong with this guy). My gradeschool aged kids, while sobbing, tried to tell me that I need to ask mom about using the stove because she will get "sad".
There are many such examples. These are just a few recent ones.
We have had issues before, but they were a manageable. Our situation seems to have gotten worse after our latest child, but it has been 5+ years since then.
She has told me that I am a horrible husband and that no woman would tolerate me. My self esteem was always bad due to ADHD (and lack of acceptance of ADHD from my family), bullying, and low testosterone, so these fights only seem to make it worse.
I suppose it goes without saying, but we also have close to zero intimacy. Sex is once a month max (often once every two or three months), initiated by her, and quickie. When I try to be affectionate in other ways, like hugs and kisses (with ZERO intention for sex), she says "all you care about it sex" Not true, but that also hurt. I have been offered testosterone replacement, but have not taken it because I know that it will only cause more issues (if I want more sex, it will only make it worse since we already don't have much sex).
I told her people are not perfect, and I forget things, but have always provided and that I'm trying my best. She says "what else were we supposed to expect, you aren't doing any favors". She also says "ok, and I have a temper problem, deal with it".
The irony is that I know guys who are actually abusive. Verbally or physically. Yet their wives are actually head over heels in love with them or appear to be. Heck my wife's own sisters are married to guys like that (they literally say "look man, I have hit her, it just happens sometimes"). I find such view disgusting, yet those women are madly in love with their husbands. I know I shouldn't be comparing to the worst, but I don't understand why my wife can't see that I am not that bad of a guy.....
I am trying to do everything right but nothing seems to be working.
I genuinely still like her. Let's say she got better, I would be content. I obviously can't forget all this, but I could move on. Maybe I am a pushover, but it is what it is.
Some people say these are just bad habits, or the adult equivalent of brattiness. They say she obviously can control herself with others so it is just her beeing angry at me.
Others say it could be PMDD or PPD or just depression. I am confused.
Edit: A relative told me that some women dislike guys who are too nice or too helpful at home. Some women feel "choked by the affection and care"

What did yall get for the 1. trapezium rule, 2. The t value at the end? I think most ppl missed that you had to find the volume of the pipe in that trapezium rule question. By multiplying the area by 1.5 m or 150cm to get the volume of the pipe

THIS POST CONTAINS MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS FOR THE MAIN STORYLINES OF BOTH ESO: NECROM AND ESO: GOLD ROAD.

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

Hey everyone!
About a year ago, around the release of ESO's then new Necrom expansion, I made a post giving a bullet-point summary of the new lore for people who don't play ESO.
(Link: https://www.reddit.com/teslore/comments/142ps7y/a_brief_rundown_on_the_new_lore_from_eso_necrom/ )
It got such a positive response I've decided to do a follow-up for the newest ESO expansion, Gold Road!
Before I get straight into the new lore, a few caveats. Gold Road is the second and final part of a two part storyline, which begins in the Necrom expansion. In my pervious post I deliberately avoided posting spoilers for the main storyline of that expansion. This, simply, is not possible here.
Like with my previous post I'll only be covering the major lore points, mostly those pertaining to the main storyline of the expansion. There is a lot of lore in ESO: Gold Road about the West Weald, the Bosmer, and some juicy stuff about the Legion but I haven't played through much of the side content yet so that won't be covered in this post.
So here we go, the new lore from ESO: Gold Road in bullet points and in no particular order...

1.) There is a previously unknown Daedric Prince who was imprisoned by Hermaeus Mora and the other Princes.

Her name is Ithilia the Prince of Paths, Mistress of the Untravelled Road, The Fate-Changer, The Unweaver, The Last Tomorrow, She Who Saw and Wept.

Hermaeus Mora's sphere is fate, destiny, and forbidden knowledge, but he doesn't have the power to actually change destiny, only to know where the paths of fate lead. Ithilia has the power to literally rewrite reality (albeit through great effort). She also seems to have been able to manifest in the Mundus in a way the other Princes couldn't, since she physically walks the world. Hermaeus Mora sensed that Ithilia's reality warping powers would be a danger to reality and convinced the other Princes to help him overpower her so he could imprison her by causing every mind everywhere in creation to forget her. Even Ithilia herself seems to have been affected by this.

2.) Daedric Princes can drain the powers of other Daedric Princes and can willingly surrender their own powers, effectively becoming mortal.

At the climax of the ESO: Gold Road storyline the Vestige destroys Ithilia's Loom (basically a giant Daedric machine she was planning to use to reform her Oblivion Plane, Mirrormoor). Without her plane Ithilia invades Apocrypha and attempts to drain Hermaeus Mora's powers to claim his realm for herself. With the Vestige's aid Hermaeus Mora is able to fight off the invasion.
Ithilia herself, however, proves too powerful for Mora. Only after the Vestige shows Ithilia the monster she has become does she stand down. When this happens she willingly gives up all her powers. Here are her exact words (context, both Ithilia and Hermaeus Mora are physically present in the core of Apocrypha).
"Hermaeus Mora, you were right. I am a danger to fate and reality. Let me return what is rightfully yours. I will always be a threat to reality. Such is the nature of the Daedra. Never changing. Never growing. I return your power to you, Mora! And I disperse mine into the Void!"
When you speak to Ithilia and Hermaeus Mora after this exhange and the following cutscene they both confirm that Ithilia is still a Daedric but has no realm or powers whatsoever. She has effectively renounced her Princedom. They both confirm, however, that a Prince cannot be forever separated from their powers, even if they're willingly given up, and that Ithilia's cast-off power will eventually return to her.

3.) Conclusive confirmation that TES is a multiverse.

Ithilia's power is more...esoteric than the other Princes'. She confirms to you, repeatedly, that every decision anyone makes in TES creates an alternate reality where a different decision was made. She says that any conceivable alternate reality does exist in the TES multiverse. There are some where there are no Daedra. There are some where one Prince has destroyed the others. There are some where there is no Mundus, others where the Aedra are the Princes and the Princes the Aedra. And there is at least one where magic does not exist at all.
Ithilia explains that these realities are constantly being both created and destroyed and are infinite in number. She can see them all but cannot perceive them all simultaneously.
Ithilia's power is the ability to see these different realities and navigate the paths between them. She calls these routes the Many Paths. She admits she can't really explain what the Many Paths are like but says it's kind of like a diamond forming around an intricate spider web - the outer structure is immutable, but the strands can change. Ithilia explicitly declares that moving between realities using the Many Paths is impossible for mortals and is visibly confused when she sees you doing so. This is never resolved but one alternate Ithilia says there's something special about the Vestige and that mortals can neither perceive nor use the Many Paths.
Both Ithilia and Hermaeus Mora confirm, furthermore, that you can destroy these Paths, thereby permanently cutting a reality off from the others. This is, the say, extremely difficult and requires a lot of power, the kind only a Daedric Prince could muster, but it is possible.

4.) Each reality has its own Daedric Princes.

Across the main storyline of ESO: Gold Road you meet at least three alternate Ithilias and one alternate Hermaeus Mora. They are all aware of the different realities and are in contact with their alternate selves, but don't necessarily interact with one another.

5.) The Towers Theory is Officially Debunked

Ithilia straight up declares that it is mortal life that stabilizes and 'makes real' the Mundus. She says the mortal inability to comprehend the higher metaphysical concepts of TES was deliberate and intentional.
Her exact words...
(Context: The Vestige asks Ithilia to explain the Many Paths and why she's shocked to see a mortal using them)
"The mortal mind is limited. Intentionally so. Comprehending the Many Paths should overwhelm you, actually traversing them should be impossible. Even I can barely do so....
Mortals are servants performing tasks to maintain reality. Every field plowed, every child born, or war fought, keeps the Aurbis stable by design.
This fact is intentionally kept from them. The slave should not understand their masters' plan, lest they seek to undo them."

6.) Ithilia is no longer active in the mainline TES reality.

As mentioned above, Ithilia willingly gives up her powers and renounces her Princehood. That said both her and Mora know she is still a threat to reality and that her powers will return eventually. They come up with a radical solution. Ithilia travels to a reality where neither Oblivion nor magic exists at all and the player uses Abolisher (a very fancy Daedric Artifact of Boetheiah) to destroy its Path. This cuts off Ithilia from her powers, from Oblivion, from magic, and from every single other reality forever.
This is, to the best of my knowledge, the only way to effectively kill a Daedric Prince - permanent exile in a reality where Daedra and Magic are not real.
Hermaeus Mora then uses his new powers, granted to him by Ithilia when she surrendered her's, to erase all trace of Ithilia from the mainline TES reality. In recognition for their efforts, however, Mora allows the Vestige to be the only one anywhere (even among gods and Princes) to remember Ithilia besides himself.
This is why Ithilia isn't mentioned in future events.

7.) Fargrave, the neutral Oblivion Plane without a Prince, used to be Mirrormoor and Ithilia was its Prince

When Ithilia regains her powers and goes to reclaim her Loom she travels to Fargrave. The Vestige follows closely behind to prevent her from reaching the Loom, which has the power to literally rewrite history. As they pursue Ithilia through the streets of Fargrave it begins to rapidly reshape. Several characters (Ithilia included) basically confirm that Fargrave used to be Ithilia's plane of Oblivion before Hermaeus Mora and the other Princes imprisoned her, or at least it used to be a very large chunk of it.
Hermaeus Mora explains that he "Shattered" Mirrormoor, not destroyed. it. He says you could still go there if you liked but it would be extremely dangerous because it is... "Teetering on the edge between being and not being. It is a thing both real and unreal and neither".
I'm still running through the side content so I may or may not continue to update this as I learn more but those are the major lore dumps from ESO: Gold Road.
Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk, beautiful people!

I have been grinding this game non stop for a couple weeks and am at level 100. I feel so overwhelmed by so many things and have barely touched my camp.
1) What's the best way to spend your gold bullion 2) How do I save my camp layout so it doesn't remove it when someone builds over that area when I load 3) How do I get the sloecum Joe items? I can't find them in the shop. Can you buy them for a bullion merchant 4) I'm running a power armour build, but unsure about the best legendarys. I've had so many drops and I don't know how to value anything 5) I've run out of space for everything I'm collecting before I can sell it. What's your advise? Is there any expansions for storage? Or mods for carrying armour and weapons?
Thanks for the help guys ❣️

Thinkpad p14s gen 2i is a nice laptop: good keyboard, good ports selection and a good build quality.
Maybe, this particular unit has a factory defect, but:

1. The LTE modem from Quectel (Quectel EM160R-GL) _forces_ the PC to suspend (i.e. go into the sleep state) apparently every time it connects to a new base cell tower. I have been traveling with it for some time (mostly Europe), and it makes the laptop unusable especially on (high-speed) trains - the laptop keeps going to sleep every 3-5 minutes.
2. Also, it seems that this is related: the battery life has been 4 hours max with very modest settings (dimmed screen, no background apps, etc.). After generating a report with `powercfg -energy` I can see the following warning in the report:

``` USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Selective Suspend This device did not enter the USB Selective Suspend state. Processor power management may be prevented when this USB device is not in the Selective Suspend state. Note that this issue will not prevent the system from sleeping.
Device NameHighSpeed USB Composite Device(UDE)
```
After checking the "Manufacturer" value for this device in Device Manager I see this: "Quectel".
***
I am not sure these bugs can be fixed by myself, probably an option is to send it to Lenovo (the laptop still has a warranty). But this means sending it to another country and they do not provide a replacement device.
***
I don't want to make rants about how Lenovo Thinkpad is not what it used to be, just sharing some objective experience with one of the modern Thinkpad devices.
Cheers.

In Feb 2024, Meta published a paper introducing TestGen-LLM, a tool for automated unit test generation using LLMs, but didn’t release the TestGen-LLM code.The following blog shows how CodiumAI created the first open-source implementation - Cover-Agent, based on Meta's approach: We created the first open-source implementation of Meta’s TestGen–LLM
The tool is implemented as follows:

1. Receive the following user inputs (Source File for code under test, Existing Test Suite to enhance, Coverage Report, Build/Test Command Code coverage target and maximum iterations to run, Additional context and prompting options)
2. Generate more tests in the same style
3. Validate those tests using your runtime environment - Do they build and pass?
4. Ensure that the tests add value by reviewing metrics such as increased code coverage
5. Update existing Test Suite and Coverage Report
6. Repeat until code reaches criteria: either code coverage threshold met, or reached the maximum number of iterations

1. Talent discovery and development
2. Young talent should wrestle in more high-level spots
3. Wrestlers still need to earn their spots in tournaments like the G1.
4. NJPW wants the best wrestlers in their early 20s in Japan
   
5. Elevating the value of title belts
   
6. It is important to clarify the role and concept of each title
   
7. STRONG titles will be defended on USA shows only going forward
   
8. Company acknowledges that the tag titles are about to be combined at Dominion… “the process may take time.”
   
9. The company acknowledges that 13 titles may be challenging to follow.
   
10. This process may take time, 12-18 months.
    
11. Reducing/eliminating outside interference
    
12. They haven’t determined concrete penalties, but interference will be limited
    
13. A lot of talk and questions about whether House of Torture is the reason for this goal
    
14. The company acknowledges the fans frustrations regarding House of Torture
    
15. The company acknowledges that pro wrestling is unique when it comes to wrestlers turning things in their favor any way they can.
    
16. Increasing the prominence and status of NJPW Hontai
    
17. Tanahashi wants Hontai to be a desired unit for young wrestlers or wrestlers returning from excursion.
    
18. Strengthening ties with STARDOM
    
19. STARDOM will be owned by NJPW as of the end of June.
    
20. Look for improved operational efficiency, scheduling, crossover events and STARDOM on NJPW events soon.
    
21. Strengthening ties with AEW
    
22. NJPW is happy with their relationship with AEW.
    
23. Improving the live fan experience
    
24. Ideas: different prices, different pricing tiers, female only seating sections, special food menus, consider number of people in a box.
    
25. Improving NJPW World
    
26. Apologies for the clunky transition
    
27. Archives should be complete by the end of the year
    
28. Live viewing has been fixed/improved
    
29. Improved treatment of personal information
    
30. Apologies for getting that USB drive stolen/lost
    
31. Plans are in place to keep data safe going forward
    
32. NJPW sponsorships
    
33. Thank you to sponsors.
    

Now looking at this plan it looks sound's good on paper but it seems too good to be true. I don't believe they would need 12-18 months to deal with most of these issues. NJPW World needing improvement will take a decade until it's considered good like Wrestle Universe. Reducing Interferences is never going to happen as long as H.O.T exist. And at least they admit they have a problem with the 13 titles.

Since the automation list is very flat it's like having a dir with hundreds of files and no sub dirs. Before I start building a bunch of automations, just wanted to get some ideas how you name your automations or how you organize in general?
For instance, if you have an entity with a state that can have 5 values (eg: Lutron Remote with up, down, on, off, etc) do you create 5 automations with a magical prefix or is there any trick to have one automation that can be called when the state is up, down, on, off and each one does something?
Thanks!!
