2 ring doorbells on one transformer

Hello! Just found this sub and figured I'd submit some horr... well no, more like dumb as hell stories in my job hunting experience.
To give some background(important as some of this ties into the following stories):

• Professionally, I basically do front-end web development.
• I have experience at/working for some bigger name companies
• I easily have close to 10 years of experience at this point.
• That said, it's not exactly a job I "love" but more something that I can tolerate and it can tie into my other interests. In my off time though I'm generally fooling around with more creatively oriented programming and looking at other areas I might never have the chance to touch otherwise, for instance, Houdini and Unreal Engine are two good examples.
• I have a ton of code that is always publicly available for review. This is usually personal experiments but anything that isn't under NDA, etc.. I generally share and open-source.

Ok! Here we go

1. I once tried to apply to a startup that sounded like a great fit. They even had an office in Tokyo which was also something that made me want to apply(I love Japan, would have loved to possibly transfer in the future). However I didn't even make it to an interview for one of the most insane reasons... in that I "appeared" to not do a lot of coding... even though they had links to my code
2. I applied to a well known Ad / Product agency back around.. I believe at this point somewhere around 2018-2019. Position being offered sounded like a good fit; they also follow me on social media so I figured that could be a slight uptick in my favor(anything helps right?). Despite having my CV, LinkedIn and links to my code repositories, they thought I only had enough experience to qualify as an intern, not to mention that I basically had to ask repeatedly before they told me(a major gripe I have with a lot of HR people)
3. One time I was asked to do a React exercise on HackerRank. For those of you that may not have done something like this, basically, you just have to re-create something according to a set of instructions. It's a pain in the ass but at the very least, it's not some dumb algorithm challenge and something you could conceivably be doing on the job. I complete the challenge, everything worked EXACTLY as instructed but, as you might have guessed, I still failed and missed out on an interview. Why? I failed because I couldn't get all the unit tests to pass, I believe I missed two cases. Unit testing is not something I have a lot of experience with and I was working locally so I figured I'd try screen capturing my code showing that things were working as instructed but the company still went "nope!"

More recently a company reached out to me out of the blue and seemed to seriously be considering me for a front-end web position. It wasn't the most exciting of prospects but it's a job and I could use the paycheck so I said, sure, let's chat.
After reviewing my CV(again?), they came back to me and basically said, ".. oh we don't think you're the right fit as it seems like you focus on doing interactive installations".
While being briefly pleasantly surprised at the response(I would like to be doing more creative things ultimately), I wrote back asking if they would like to look again and explained that they had somehow mid-interpreted my experience.
I also pointed them to specific resources that would help them make a better evaluation(which were all listed and explicitly stated to begin with by the way, not to mention my CV also explicitly stated I was professionally, a front-end web developer).
They responded by essentially saying "nope, we're good!" 😡
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
I have many many, MANY other gripes with tech recruiting but that's probably enough for now.
Anyways, best of luck to anyone out there still looking, especially with all the layoffs happening; don't let the rejections get you down, we all go through it at some point. (including me right now)

I, like many others, started with Elden Ring in November. I'm on my 3rd journey now, and I took a break from my 1st playthrough to try Bloodborne. Always wanted to try it out but never did so I saw the base game was free. Beat that, bought the DLC disc copy and now I have 2 characters both on NG+ I'm at the very end with both almost 4 entire 100% playthroughs. It's my favorite game now. I got good with my parry what do you guys think?

I am aware that this medication has constipation as a possible side effect. But I have a question regarding this side effect.
My psychiatrist prescribed me 150 mg of the extended release, generic brand. After some time I upped to 300 mg. I've been on the 300 for almost 2 months now. Around late February I noticed I started feeling really nauseous after eating and started dealing with constipation. To the point of not being able to eat as much and my stomach cramping. So I took dulcolax, which normally kicks in for me quick... after 4 hours I shit my brains out. however, this time it took much longer. Right after the laxative wore off, I went right back to being constipated. Same thing happened with magnesium citrate.
I've unfortunately had to manually remove stool for some relief and I noticed I feel a lump inside my anus. So I may have an internal hemorrhoid. I went to my doc and did blood and urine tests, ruled out pregnancy and other possible issues. I noticed my bones under my breast hurt. I've had chest pain due to build up of gas. I feel very bloated and sometimes it hurts to walk around. I have to use my heating pad a lot.
I'm wondering if anyone here experienced this side effect as extreme as I am and if it ever went away. I don't believe this med is helping me anyway, it did at first but now I just don't feel right and the constipation is making it hard to function. I think it's worth mentioning that shortly after I noticed the constipation (but I didn't think it was the Wellbutrin causing it), we tried having me go up to 450 since my depression was still bad, and it lead me to being aggressive and having suicidal thoughts. Also made my body tingly and twitchy in my arms and legs I was scared I was gonna have a seizure and I've never had one before. I was only on this dose for a few days. So I went back down to 300.
Before this med I hardly ever got constipated, and when I did, it was minor and resolved after eating food with more fiber, drinking water, coffee, etc. I made no changes to my lifestyle before and after the med so I'm pretty confident the med is causing this. It scares me to use a laxative and then be constipated again right after. It feels like there's no end in sight.

Me (32) and my girlfriend (29) moved together a couple of moths ago. Everything was going well, i was getting along with her and her 4.5 yo son. We had a really love dovy relationship, sitting on the couth together, cooking together. Things in the bedroom were going ok too. We talked a lot, also about our pasts witch have been hard (both from abusive families). We would text good morning, and how the day was going constantly. I'we been under a lot of stress and one morning i got a message from her remainding me to put away the dishes that had been sitting for a couple of days (i have adhd). Things escalated and i did tell her that i would appreciate if she could put them away if i forget. Also while mad i reminded her that i have been cooking for the last 2 weeks straight so maybe cut me a little slag. I know that was a mistake and i should not have said that. She does not accept help easily and that was a wall i had to tear down in the beginning of our relationship. It's been almost a week of silent treatment, we had a talk about it and she told me she really took that personally and said that she now thinks that that is what i am really like. She also said that time will tell if shell ever trust me again. I have been doing a lot of things in this relationship. I got her a car when her old one broke. I paid for most of the renters deposit by pulling the money out of my ass since i am not a rich man. I'we been cooking a lot, buying her things, mostly did the move, both mine and hers. Stopped drinking and smoking pot, havent been gaming too much either. I have by all measures been a supportive and loving partner in my opinion. Today she stormed off and said she wanted to take a drive and didnt want to sit here with me in silence. She's been at it for about 3 hours and still no sight of her. This past week all iwe been able to think about is how sorry i am and how much i love her. Can't think straight, cant sleep, cant eat, cant listen to music because all the songs are about her. Cant even write this post coherently because my mind is a mess I miss what we had so much. Im at my wits end here and just wanted to get some feedback. Please help.

PLEASE HELP ME DIAGNOSE! BIG ASK
BIG question. Please read!
[2008 Honda Element SC, 211,500]
My VTEC solenoid has been out for a little bit, and my replacement part comes in tomorrow. It’s not OEM, but it has decent reviews and quick shipping, and I only need it to hold me over until I can afford a Honda solenoid.
I’ve been in limp mode almost constantly, which is a symptom of that, but an extra symptom that’s picked up at the same time is my coolant leaking. I can’t tell where it’s coming from, but I think it may be the reservoir. Filling it up barely lasts a day, and I have a couple of pictures of wet areas that I suspect may be where it’s dripping. It definitely isn’t oil! I haven’t been able to check if it’s coolant or just mud or something yet, though. I’ll include pics.
Another thing: Due to this whole situation, my engine’s been running very hot, but my A/C won’t blow hot when I want it to. My temp gauge will be almost as high as it can get, but my vents only blow cold air. If I turn the fans off for a minute, then turn them back on, it’ll blow hot without the A/C button switched.
I have no idea if it’s related to the other symptoms, but I need help diagnosing! I can’t afford an inspection at the moment. I’ll gladly take any photos or answer any questions that y’all need answered to help figure it out. Thanks in advance to anyone who has input or has dealt with this before.
Could the coolant disappearing have to do with the engine just being too hot from the solenoid issue, possibly? I have no idea if the engine running hot enough would be capable of just.. evaporating it or something?? I’d just filled it up in some of the first few videos, so I’m not sure if the dripping is from any misses with my funnel or something. No idea. Any help would be wonderful.
Sorry if some of these videos seem pointless, but I wanted to show as much under the hood as possible and cover all my bases.
[Links to videos- sorry the group is private! I put it in the largest Element groups that I could in hopes that y’all would be in at least one. All of these have the same content, but they’re cross posted in case someone trying to look is in one and not another. Thanks for reading!

Does anyone have recommendations for finding a recliner that only has one arm? I need one for arm and back support that I can somehow use instead of a regular chair when I'm working on my laptop/ doing most things that involve sitting. It would also be great to find a way to put a desk over it so that I can work on art projects for school (and maybe somehow make the desk "ergonomic" to a reclining position? I've thought about getting a chaise lounge and using pillows as support, but then I'm limited by having to put the back against a wall, because it's not high enough to support my head/ upper back. Anything with 2 arms just traps me in and is hard to get out of. Anyone have genius set up they'd like to share?
Currently I'm just using my good ole bed. Any advice for warding off the depression caused by having to be in bed so much would also be appreciated!
Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I'm paralyzed by indecision.
Gradually trying to get more gear that is lighter than my current set-up and my next purchase is a backpack.
My next trip is an 8-day hike through the Uinta Highline Trail. We're doing it without resupply so I need to be able to carry that much food.
My BIGGEST wants is that it can carry everything I need, is lightweight, and is COMFORTABLE.
I have spent days and days and days reading reviews, parusing forums and watching youtube videos and I am torn between:

1. The Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60L
   1. I like the pockets and organization. I really like that there's a spot for a hydration pack - I know that this is an ultralight thread, but I personally like a hydration pack (and maybe a water bottle in a shoulder strap pocket)
2. Durston Kakwa 55
   1. This one also is very well thought out. Reviews say it's comfortable. I think this is the one I would go to if it had a dedicated sleeve for a hydration pack. It has a port for the drinking tube, but no system on the shoulder straps to keep the tubing where I want it.
3. REI Flash Pack 55L
   1. A little heavier, but cheaper and more accessible. It makes me feel comfortable that I can go to a store and try the thing on. It makes me nervous that I can't check the fit of the cottage brands. Should I just go the cheaper route for now as I'm easing into the world of UL?
4. Osprey Exos 55L
   1. I've mostly talked myself out of this, it apparently squeaks on the trail which would drive me batty. My other bags are Osprey and I've liked them.

​
Someone please, for the love of John Muir, make this decision easier for me. I am leaning heavily towards one of the first two.

Hi LFG! I have been creating a world for nearly 4 years with a custom game system that is made by me and the players, with features taken from Pathfinder 2e and some DnD 5e. Currently we have 4 players (All from LFG and are amazing!) but one player may have to leave because of life changes, we would like to have 5 total. Im a very descriptive DM and focus on the fun of the players / party overall, I want you to leave the session feeling like you were awesome and had a blast. Of course there will be emotional moments and things that happen that will be difficult but the goal is for you, the player, to have fun! Below is a summary of the world overview and some of the game mechanics that have been changed, there are still several more things to go over but if you feel you would be a good fit, fill out the application (Link at the bottom) for a chance to get in!
Before all that fun jazz, a little about me and the process. Im a family man with a full time job, (25M) and have 2 kids at home. All sessions will be later in the evening after they go to bed so I can DM without distraction. Critical Role has been a major inspiration and I have finished the first campaign (Yes, all 400 hours) and watched the animated series (You should watch it) just as a start of what you guys might see where I get my inspiration from. Ive DMed for many years, but after losing most of my friends to adulthood, Ive not had a running campaign in a few months and really want to get back into it. I try to keep things lighthearted and fun, but also with plenty of drama and seriousness.
If accepted, you will go through a voice call interview with me to get to know each other better and answer all your questions about the world and game. After that, you will be invited to the discord server where you can start to get to know the rest of the players and maybe play some party games (Jackbox, video games (we play on a modded minecraft server and other games for fun), etc) to really get to know everyone. Then, we will do a backstory session, or session 0. You will roleplay and live as close as possible to why your character became who they are now. Each player has gone through their backstory and there will be awesome lore to discover that will effect the world and party.
Here is the world overview:
In a world filled with magic and mystery, there lies a realm overflowing more than just that. Atop a massive 500 ft tall shelf of water lies islands of all sizes and shapes. The shelf is the edge of discovery, for all those to take the ride off its precarious brim have never returned. Hundreds of islands dot the shimmering water inside the shelf, some abundant with vegetation and discovery. Others with walls protecting immense cities with all different cultures and creatures.
Game Mechanics:
Basically, there is changes to inventory, pets, armor and weapons, magic and the ability to hire/have "help" by running an NPC to fight for you. There is also rules built for money making options passively. Inventory is based on slots, simply 4 categories that define the different slots. R = regular. L = large. U = utilities. B = big item, such as chests or weapons of war You can have pets anytime, Armor is completely modular, and depending on the material you will receive bonuses or negatives to your overall AC. Weapons deal specific damage based on the material and each one operates differently. Magic is a mana system, instead of spell slots Initiative is also changed to be by Team. The players will go then the bad guys, etc. It moves faster and allows for players to not take a "turn" without feeling they are left out. You will see a mix of different features plus the extra stuff i have changed.
Magic is an expensive and hard skill to learn. So you should have a reason that you should know it for backstory reasons. And spells that are cast require a "Conduit". You will have a wand or a staff for each spell cast above level 0. You can cast 0 level spells at any time without a want/staff. But each wand or staff you find will have a specific range of effective spells it can cast safely. Meaning, you can find a wand that uses level 1 to 3. If you cast level 4 you could have the magic backfire on you because its too powerful. Staffs are for higher level and you would have both depending on the situation.
These are just some of the changes made to make the game more alive, and they are all well documented and you will have access to the rule book with unlimited questions!
Here is the application link, hope to see you at the (virtual) table! https://forms.office.com/6fD5NmHZ9a

Hey Rustaceans! I have problem that I'm trying to understand reasoning for. I have 2 traits with type parameters, defining same method:

trait MyTraitA{ fn run(&self,value:T)->String { "a result".to_string() } } trait MyTraitB{ fn run(&self,value:T)->i64 { 12 } } 

And I have them Implemented on one struct but for different types:

struct A{} struct B{} struct C{} impl MyTraitA for C{} impl MyTraitB for C{} 

So, since types are not intersecting, there is only one implementation that is taking type A as a parameter, I'm assuming, that I should be able to do something like this:

let c = C{}; let a = A{}; let r1:String = c.run(a) 

However, I'm getting an error "error[E0034]: multiple applicable items in scope".
Why is that limitation still holds for typed traits? Are those type parameters erased somewhere along the way?

My gf and I live in the UK and have been together for 2 years. Last year we went on our first holiday abroad together and it was really fun. Before the holiday we had different ideas of the type of holiday we'd like. I preferred more city holiday where we could have a look around somewhere but my gf preferred beach holiday where we do nothing and just relax. I didn't like the idea of this since I don't see the point of going abroad just to relax it seems like a waste of money to me when you can do it at home. We compromised slightly and went to a city with a beach but still spent some time looking around. When we got back my gf admitted a city break will be better and she's starting to see beach holidays as boring.
Since November we've been planning our holiday for this summer. The plan was to travel to 3 cities and spend 10 days exploring what the cities have to offer. We picked one city each and then decided on the third one together. We'd picked really cheap places so I'd set a low budget for it since I'm focusing on increasing my savings. We were supposed to book everything last weekend but when it came to it my gf just said no we're not doing that I'd prefer a relaxing holiday near a beach and started looking at beach resorts. I asked her what was going on since we'd had this planned for months and she just said she'd changed her mind. I told her decisions like this we need to discuss and she just didn't respond. I pointed out the trips she was looking at were too expensive anyway since I'm not willing to increase my budget for the trip.
Anytime I tried to compromise and suggest somewhere else she'd just say no without even looking. She kept showing me places that just looked so boring for me since I don't see the appeal in paying a lot of money to just do nothing for a week. I ended up just stopping looking at the places she'd picked and she asked if I was angry. I told her yeah I as since she let me get excited for a trip that it's clear now she had no intention of going on and now expects me to just be fine with somewhere she picks. I pointed out it's supposed to be a joint decision yet she seems to think it should be her picking it. She just walked out and said fine looks like we're not going away then.
Later in the night she said I was being unfair and she was only trying to find a nice holiday for us. I mentioned that we'd had a nice holiday planned that we both agreed to and now she's just trying to find one for herself and expecting me to just agree when she knows my thoughts on the type of holidays she's suggesting. I said if we actually want to go away we need to find a compromise since there's no way I'm spending a week just laying by a pool or on beach and she clearly doesn't want to actually look around anywhere for the full holiday and she just said if we go away it has to be a relaxing holiday. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this since I've tried to compromise by looking at other places but it hasn't gotten me anywhere?
tl;dr my and my gf had a nice holiday planned then when it came time to pay for everything she cancelled and decided she's look for a different type of holiday instead despite me saying that type of holiday does not appeal to me and refuses to compromise. Does anyone have any advice?
edit: I posted this earlier but it got removed for being too vague/unclear on what I was asking so I added details and reposted

Multiplayer - 0/4 Very Negative: Here we are at last. The bottom of the barrel. Almost every aspect of setting up multiplayer was anoying. even more creatures. That being said, the creature variance is about the same as III's was, and that feels like something that could have been easily adjusted. Particular compliments were given to the creepiness of certain designs (the cked out of the server even once during the beta, which undoubtedly has an effect on my reaction to it. I know many people were not so lucky.
For context, I'm a long time Diablo vet, going all the way back to Hellfire. I've seen most of the game's variations, and I've spent a lot of time playing most of them (Hellfire being the least, but that was mostly due to sharing a family computer). I was borderline obsessed with II as a teen, and played ad nauseam. That being said, I may have spent even more time playing III, which is no small feat, due to the ease that consoles provided for a multiplayer experience with my family members.
In spite of III's issues, I have pretty warm feelings towards it, largely for the gaming experiences I was finally able to share with my siblings, and in particular, my father, from whom I was somewhat estranged when it debuted in 2012. Having once been a staunch proponent of Diablo as an solo pursuit, I now fondly anticipate more of a merging between the best of II and III. If you're of the opinion that III had no merit whatsoever, this review probably won't be for you.
Also, so as not to come off like an echo chamber, I enlisted three family members to give me their opinions, and am mostly listing opinions that were a consensus for a majority of the players.
Their experience levels are as follows:
Brother 1: Intro to series - Diablo II (mostly watching me), ran seasons (solo and multi) in III all the way up to the new year. Played all of II's remaster. Purely console player. (currently building a gaming PC)
Brother 2: Intro to series - Diablo III. Played on/off for a decade, mostly in multiplayer settings. Played some of IIs remaster. Social gamer. Purely console, no desire to change.
Father: Intro to series - Diablo III. Old school gamer. Refused to play II due to religious misunderstanding. Grinder extraordinaire. Played more hours of Diablo III (solo and multi) than all three sons. Now prefers console to PC.
So, with all that in mind, here are my/our takeaways.
-- The Great --
Overall Tone/Graphics - 3/4 Very Positive: One member of the group didn't initially care for the darker tone/look of the game, but warmed up to it a bit. The other three were all very pleased with it. Specific points of praise went to the little details in the graphics (some areas are particularly well-rendered) and the score, which has the perfect tinge of lilting melancholy and foreboding intrigue imho. Being able to see the movement of hair on individual wargs was impressive. And, as one player put it, there's something delightfully squelchy about creatures and gore in the game. The return of more of a light horror element is really rewarding and aids immersion in a way that III didn't. What's more, is that it really holds up on a variety of devices. Two players were using older monitors, one was using a new television, and another was using a projector, and the graphics and colors really didn't suffer a great deal of variance, which may be due to the darker hues. (Personally, I highly recommend playing the game on a quality projector. Immersive is a word that doesn't do it justice.)
Combat Feel - 4/4 Very Positive: It's hard to critique a hack-and-slash dungeon runner for overly-repetitive combat, so I tend to avoid focusing on that element. This game is unlikely to ever go the way of Dark Souls, so if that's what you're looking for, you may just be seeking disappointment. However, feel is something that can be critiqued, and it's something that's particularly notable when combat is somewhat repetitive by nature. All four players agreed that the mechanics felt 'weightier' than III, and a bit less on cruise control. Mini-bosses have more variance in engagement, and change tactics slightly based on damage markers. III was notable for really only doing this with more significant bosses, and the difference is noticeable. The cap on potions and the dodge mechanics force more attention to the fights by default. All four players agreed that the addition of more dodges (or a shorter cool-down) would be desirable, particularly in solo play. In many ways I was reminded more of II, and that's a good thing.
Skill Tree - 3/4 Positive: While it's not the Path of Exile tree that I think we were all privately hoping for, it still feels like an improvement. It's much easier to look at each individual skill than it was in the previous format, though the long, winding route can be annoying to scroll up and down. All four players have played POE, so they weren't 'wowed' by it, but the groupings did feel more relevant and connected than in the III wheel format. It would be nice to have a summary screen that shows what you have equipped and the effects of each (with the trait additions/levels of each as well). It definitely forces more planning based on weapon choice, with the option to select skills that work for all weapon types as well. It also allows for more straightforward builds, rather than the more general once players were forced to make because of the way III's tree unlocked things. Also, the ability to respec the full tree at any time got a universally positive response.
Shops/Improvements/Crafting - 4/4 Very Positive: One of the most positive responses was to the ability to upgrade equipment at the Blacksmith. I'm sure we've all been in the situation where we're clinging to an under-leveled legendary weapon/piece of equipment due to its effect, and the ability to upgrade it so that it maintains usefulness for a little longer is a big deal. Overall, players felt that the shops actually offered useful products for once, and that the prices were set at a good balance without being extortionary. The addition of potion crafting was also met with good cheer. That was a nice throwback to II, and a mechanic that was sorely missing.
Mounts(!) - 4/4 Positive: While the confinement to Act 1 kept us from knowing their full extent of usefulness, this was just something that wins on cool points alone. All of the players liked it as an idea, and in the event that a lengthy distance needs to be traveled without the aid of portals, this could be pretty handy. There's still no sprinting in Diablo, so this looks like a cool way around that. Granted, none of us could really try them out, but it's something to be excited about after all that trecking about. Hopefully this is something that we'll get to try in the next beta.
--The Contested--
Dungeon Layout - 2/4 Contested: While there seemed to be some slight improvement on design, this felt like the most neglected element of the game. Two players argued that more specific builds might make create less variance, and the other two maintained that a happy medium should still be achievable, and that this felt like a copy-paste of level design from III. This game has always been about the dungeons, after all. They deserve special attention. (It should be noted that most of the players felt that the above-world layout had actually improved somewhat)
Menu/Map/Quest/Equipment Layout - 0/4 Console vs. PC Contestation: Yes, 0/4 were in favor of most of the menu-related layout changes. However, all four players are console-based, and I suspect things that feel more clunky on console feel better on PC. 3 of the 4 players also played most of their hours on III, on console, so the wheel layout of III was their 1st experience with these layouts. I'm chalking this up to medium preference. And while I'm also in the minority of having really liked the wheel in III, I understand that it was not beloved by PC users. That being said, the equipment menu's obvious II styling feels like going backwards, rather than forwards. Also, the quest menu is incredibly clunky, and should not share the same screen as the map. All four players were irritated by gems sharing equipment space with weapons and armor.
Creature Variance/Density - 2/4 Contested: Density feels more preference based. Two players were fine with the current destiny, two wanted even more creatures. That being said, the creature variance is about the same as III's was, and that feels like something that could have been easily adjusted. Particular compliments were given to the creepiness of certain designs (the Spider Host is nightmare fuel, so thanks for that devs), but seeing that degree of creativity in design does make a player long for more. I feel like the devs really could have leaned into this with their desired emphasis on a darker, gorier Diablo. Then again, only seeing 1 Act worth of creatures gave all four players pause in over-committing to this critique for now.
--The Bad--
Wayfinding - 1/4 Negative: To the dissenting player's point, way-finding has always been bad in Diablo. That's kind of the point. D1 was entirely about dungeons, the above-world has gradually been creeping into importance over years, and player discovery is half the fun of the game. Still, the desire to see where a player has been on the map was universal, and the map is itself a little clunky. Being able to pin locations for clans was mentioned positively.
Clans - 1/4 Negative/Unsure: It's hard to fully explore every aspect of a beta in only three days, if you also have work and children, but while three players were in favor of this mechanic, a lot of it felt clunky as well, particularly when trying to utilize the multiplayer element of the game. None of the players felt certain that it wasn't user error, but 3 of the 4 players are very tech literate and them having to ask themselves that question points to a certain degree of non-user issue by default. To be fair, the Clans element feels like it has a lot of positive potential, but it won't matter if people become incredibly frustrated just trying to suss out how it works.
Trading Items - 0/4 Negative: Every player was frustrated by this mechanic. Not only is it hard to find in the first place, it's a pain to figure out once you get there, and there's no tutorial explanation either. This feels like it was deliberately buried by the devs, and kneecapped to boot. Hell, it appears that players are barred from trading legendary items altogether. While I understand the desire to curtail certain undesirable trade-related activities, for the average player just trying to trade things back and forth withing their own group, this is incredibly vexing.
Multiplayer - 0/4 Very Negative: Here we are at last. The bottom of the barrel. Almost every aspect of setting up multiplayer was annoying, but nothing drew more negative reactions than having to deal with other players butting in to your play. From having other players spam you with part invites, to over-leveled players swooping into the middle of your fights, all four players were having ptsd flashbacks to Fallout 76 (which is about as bad an omen for multiplayer as I've encountered in my gaming life), with one player saying that it reminded them of WOW, in the worst ways. It was a resoundingly negative reaction from 4 relatively social gamers. However, understanding that some players will like that form of multiplayer, all four players would be satisfied with a setting option to play only with friends.
All in all, all four player gave the Diablo 4 beta an overall positive rating. However, all players felt that even if most of these areas are tightened up, the rating for this game will end up revolving around the multiplayer functions of this entry, which also appear to still need the most work.
Let me know what you think!

PLEASE HELP ME DIAGNOSE! BIG ASK
BIG question. Please read!
[2008 Honda Element SC, 211,500]
My VTEC solenoid has been out for a little bit, and my replacement part comes in tomorrow. It’s not OEM, but it has decent reviews and quick shipping, and I only need it to hold me over until I can afford a Honda solenoid.
I’ve been in limp mode almost constantly, which is a symptom of that, but an extra symptom that’s picked up at the same time is my coolant leaking. I can’t tell where it’s coming from, but I think it may be the reservoir. Filling it up barely lasts a day, and I have a couple of pictures of wet areas that I suspect may be where it’s dripping. It definitely isn’t oil! I haven’t been able to check if it’s coolant or just mud or something yet, though. I’ll include pics.
Another thing: Due to this whole situation, my engine’s been running very hot, but my A/C won’t blow hot when I want it to. My temp gauge will be almost as high as it can get, but my vents only blow cold air. If I turn the fans off for a minute, then turn them back on, it’ll blow hot without the A/C button switched.
I have no idea if it’s related to the other symptoms, but I need help diagnosing! I can’t afford an inspection at the moment. I’ll gladly take any photos or answer any questions that y’all need answered to help figure it out. Thanks in advance to anyone who has input or has dealt with this before.
Could the coolant disappearing have to do with the engine just being too hot from the solenoid issue, possibly? I have no idea if the engine running hot enough would be capable of just.. evaporating it or something?? I’d just filled it up in some of the first few videos, so I’m not sure if the dripping is from any misses with my funnel or something. No idea. Any help would be wonderful.
Sorry if some of these videos seem pointless, but I wanted to show as much under the hood as possible and cover all my bases.
[Links to videos- sorry the group is private! I put it in the largest Element groups that I could in hopes that y’all would be in at least one. All of these have the same content, but they’re cross posted in case someone trying to look is in one and not another. Thanks for reading!

I (F25) have single handedly ruined every adult relationship I’ve been a part of. My first long term partner and I were together for 2 years and then we broke up because of me. Kissed someone else shortly after the break up and he was not impressed. We got back together but eventually he broke up with me 6 months later. He just couldn’t get past it and he had fallen out of love but wasn’t ready to break up. He also continued to lead me on for months after only to block me one day when he got a gf. No hard feelings here. He was a great bf and I did him wrong. Deserved all of what had happened if I’m being honest. Since then I’ve dated a serial cheater for 2 years now- lies and breaks my heart constantly but I make excuses and say it’s not his fault, he’s not a bad person etc etc. I think I’ve told myself he always comes back so he must love me. In our off periods I kissed someone else because they wanted to “give me a better chance at love and treat me better”. Turns out when you tell people how you’ve been hurt in the past, they’ll say exactly what you need to hear to use you. Felt incredibly gross after because I didn’t actually like these guys. I just wanted them to like me so I could feel something. I needed the validation. They turned out to be not so nice guys (one lied about being on a break and the other just ghosted me right after he got what he wanted). The pattern has been repeating since college. I’m hurt. Some guy gives me attention. I’m super attached even when I’m not attracted to them and think their personality isn’t the best, we hook up because they like me so much and will treat me better. They turn out to be a****** and I cry. But I don’t learn. I keep defending them and I keep making the same mistakes. Is there something seriously wrong with me? How can I fix it?? Please help. The closest I can describe myself as is Cassie from Euphoria- absent father, abusive and cheating father. Daddy issues to the max. But how do I stop this victims complex I have? How I do I stop using my body to get men to like me when I don’t even like them. I just feel crazy.
TL:DR: I feel like something is very wrong with me based on my past relationships.

So last year I came out of a long term relationship (7 years June) and was happy to just take time to myself In august. I’d just recently returned to work after a while off due to unforeseen circumstances, one of my first days back this woman walked into the office and legit just started something inside of me. Due to coming out of a long term relationship I was polite but didn’t try pursue anything. Fast forward the night time, I came out of work and she’d followed me on instagram so I accepted and followed back. Few days went by and I’d seen er in work a few times and I just felt comfortable with her despite not actually knowing her longer than a few days. I decided to engage in a convo on insta and we just clicked, we spent time chatting in work and would get gone and can’t on insta or FaceTime. Things were different with this woman, I felt such a strong attraction towards her and things were just so natural in how they progressed and she always made time for me which was so nice. When we met outside of work for the first time all we did was grab a coffee and have a late night stroll by the river and I can’t remember an point in that night where I didn’t have a smile on my face. From that point on we just let things progress naturally and on my birthday (September) we met up again for a coffee and a stroll, again this was an incredible night and quite possible the best birthday I’d had. When we went separate ways to go home I was diving away thinking ’this girl is so beautiful there’s no way she feels the same way I do’, then I receive a text literally 5 mins after leaving off her saying ‘obsessed with you’ and it just melted me. After this day we were inseparable and we went from that point to a little over a months later I made her my gf and we both felt the same and were were madly in love. I couldn’t of been happier! She was breathtakingly beautiful, funny, caring and had the most gorgeous personality with me I’d ever come across. She was so similar to me in the sense that era aren’t affectionate and don’t like touchy feely stuff, however that soon changed! We realised we didn’t like it with anyone else but with each other we couldn’t keep our hands off each other. The sex was out of this world, we just had this connection unlike any other and our main priority was to please one another rather than ourselves. Something tragic happened to a close family member in October and this girl was my rock! Genuinely there’s nothing I couldn’t do with her at my side, she’s so special! November - December goes well too and Xmas ever we did our Xmas then and she made me a scrapbook full of photos and memories we’d had along with other presents. I loved all my gifts but the scrapbook was priceless, I’ve never felt so loved and appreciated in my life. New year comes round and I was working so couldn’t speak much and she was out for New Year’s Eve so was tired. I came about of work on 02/01/23 to the news I’d been dreading and it hit me like a freight train. From this day on I felt this girl who is literally my world slowly start to become distant, I really started to panic at this point because I could not lose her she’s the only one I want and see a future with. It’s his mid-Han and the dreaded message came saying she needed space. I tried to respond this but I just crumbled, I’d had 2 close family members die within the first week of jan and my mental health had deteriorated rapidly. I suffer with depression and can go through stages of manic depression but it’s usually controllable, this unfortunately was not and I needed my girl desperately. I’ve never had such a bad lapse in mental health and from mid Jan till about a fortnight ago I was on a downtown spiral and in a dangerous place. Unfortunately I needed her that much I’d text a lot and ask to speak on the phone. Some night I hit rock bottom and relied on her far too much, I dragged her down and offloaded far too much in her and I had no idea at the time because I was so consumed by my own depression and it was just far too much for anyone to deal with. I didn’t know at the time but she had her own problems too and the fact that I wasn’t there for her is the worst feeling imaginable. Eventually I became too much and not being able to speak just made me message more and I gave her an ultimatum, basically tell me what she wants or end it. As soon as I said that I regretted it because I knew there’s no way that would end well and as expected the next day she ended things. She has done nothing wrong and was more than patient with me abs I can’t apologise and thank her enough for all that she done. It ended the start of this month and each day just gets worse. Mentally I’m getting better and back to my old self but I just really want to apologise properly to this woman and make things right. We haven’t spoke properly since mid Jan and since the breakup I’ve tried to speak, apologise and send flowers but I’ve only done more damage I feel. She won’t reply to me and I understand why and I probably don’t deserve a response. Has anyone got any advice on what I can do? This wasn’t just a normal relationship or connection, this woman was the love of my life and I was hers. I can’t walk away and I can’t give up, she’s the only woman I’ve ever not been able to stop thinking about and the only one I have truly loved. I know I need to leave her be and give her time/space atm, has anyone any advice on what I can do in terms of earning her forgiveness and hopefully winning her back one day? Thanks guys and apologise for the long read.

I was hired in December of last year in Stow, but recently after my Decant training I keep being called downstairs.
I can’t stand the cherry picking, people chilling in the bathroom for hours and constantly opening up 50lb boxes for 10 hours a day in the back of the line. I prefer being by myself at my stow station listening to music all day.
My manager lied and said that they would only call me down at least 1-2 times a week, but it has been every day. Every time I log into a stow station I get a message to go downstairs. I have severe asthma but no one is listening to me, and I keep using my inhaler every 2 hours.
I’m currently on an off work accommodation but my doctor won’t be able to sign my documents in time for me to go back. Is there an option to keep me upstairs in stow until the accommodation can 100% get approved with the documents filled out?

My wife for some reason, usually in conversations with others, will often bring up guys from her past. We have been married for 4 years now, together for 8. But I sometimes feel like deep down, she has a hard time letting men from her past go.I have expressed before that it bothers me but it still happens from time to time.
When we were with her college friends, she will normally bring up a guy that was a mutual friend with all them that she used to sleep with. This weekend she actually brought up the night she met him and said she was hooking up with him. She has brought up multiple times too that this guy pretty much ghosted her and never talked to her again. I feel like she is salty about it still and thats why it always gets brought up.
She once had a thing going with one of her brothers friends, just sexual, but she will sometimes ask her brother how this guy is doing. Is he dating anyone yet, stuff like that. It really makes me question why shes so worried about this guys life. This guy too kinda let her on and fucked her over, and I feel too that she is salty about that still too.
Many times, with her parents especially, 2 of her long term boyfriends will be brought up. There have been times where we would just sit and they would have full conversations about them and im just sitting there like "uhhh.....?". Multiple times too now I have had to hear a story about how she got a speeding ticket going to her ex boyfriends for a quickie after class one day.
It's gotten to the point that even like my buddies and their wives, my parents, my brother, and others have questioned it. Asking why are we sitting around talking about her ex boyfriends?
I get that everyone has a past, and that her long term boyfriends probably were close with the family too. So of course there are memories, good times, funny times, etc. But like wtf, i feel like enough is enough. I have my past too, been with a handful of girls, had my hook ups, but I'm not sitting around talking about every girl i had sex with before her. I've let those people go.
Am I just being insecure about all this? Or am I justified in feeling the way I do? We are married with kids and just the way she talks about some things, it makes it feel like shes not over those guys. In one aspect, I like that we can be open with each other about our pasts, but at the same time, it gets old.
I guess what really bothers me is she will talk about a guy she was hooking up with, act like she salty about being ghosted (which means I am assuming she enjoyed the sex and was mad it stopped), but then barely has sex with me and just acts like shes never in the mood for it.
tl;dr: Wife brings up past boyfriends/ flings in conversation and I am kind of upset about it because it seems like she may not be over them.

Everything written in this scientific article is irrefutable scientific information.
First of all, as you know, Illyasviel Von Einzbern is 18 years old, 1.33 meters tall, and 34 kilograms. The ideal age for healthy reproduction. Her physique is below the ideal height/weight ratio for an 18-year-old (as you know, the ideal female height is 1.48). Although it is strange that she is only 1.33 despite the fact that her father was 1.75 and her mother 1.58, this is not a great loss. Her short stature makes it easier for her to hide from predators and escape in case of danger. It also makes it harder for it to attract the attention of predators and increases her chances of survival in the wild.
Being 18 YEARS OLD, 1.33 meters tall, and weighing 34 kilograms is not her only advantage. Her small footprint and light weight make Illya portable and easy to carry. Taking advantage of her short stature, she can take public transportation without using a public transportation card. Her short stature also means that her clothing costs will be lower than usual.
Illya has a fit and shapely physique, as we can see from the official artwork. The width of her pelvis, although it may seem very narrow due to her relatively small physique, is actually the ideal size for her physique and there is little danger of complications in pregnancy of 1 or 2 babies.
Illya has some social and mental difficulties, having grown up in social isolation, surrounded only by servants. However, she can overcome these difficulties with a regular exchange of physical and emotional love and a healthy partner.
Illya is a citizen of Germany. This ensures that her partner and her future children will be citizens of one of the most prosperous, socially secure, and globally respected countries in the world. Germany is also a member of the European Union and NATO. These privileges allow her to travel visa-free to many countries around the world and protect her from Communist expansionism.
Illya comes from a noble family of magus, which gives her partner and her future children a second reason to live in prosperity and wealth.
Illya, as we know, has an extremely high libido (also due to her social isolation). This allows her to have sexual intercourse much more frequently than a normal female individual, and thanks to her physique, she can easily get into different positions in which her chances of getting pregnant increase. This helps to increase the chances of conception.
Illya is a powerful sorceress and has a robust mana system. We know that magical powers and mana are genetically passed on to future generations. This gives future generations not only magical powers but also gives them a great advantage in self-defense and in working in different professions that not everyone can do.
Illya has servants who will obey every command of the Einzbern family. With these servants, you can spread your genetic heritage faster.
Illya is such an ideal woman that even years later, the Illya Route still hasn't come into the game. The reason for this is that Illya's genetic and social privileges prevent her from writing a story that's bumpy and exciting.
And most importantly, if you marry Illya, you will become a relative of Emiya Kiritsugu. Could there be a greater honor than that? Unlikely.

I graduated almost a year ago with a degree in communications and journalism. This past year has been...interesting to say the least. After school, I moved home to job search and save up for my next steps. My plan was to save and job search for the summer, work my job I worked through college for a while, and then move to a big city. I live in a small town and honestly, we don't even have a newspaper (the closest one is in the next town. I needed to gain relevant experience, so after the summer, I decided to start a copywriting business and I have been helping local businesses ever since.
It's a good gig; I enjoy what I do, but I want to be able to move out of my hometown and it is hard to get to the cities I want to go to (Chicago, LA, New York, or even places like Austin or Seattle) without connections to those areas.
The way I see it now, I have 3 options:

1. I can stay the course in my hometown and try to land a job while building my business.
2. I can pick up and move without a job (this feels super scary to me)
3. I can go to a grad school in one of those areas and network my way into a position I want

Can anyone in marketing, journalism, or communications (or anyone farther in their career) please give me insight on the pros and cons of the next steps for me? Does anyone have a story of taking a big risk to move for opportunities? Thanks!
