Let me preface this by saying I have no experience or knowledge of statistical analysis or anything of the sort.
I have logs that are constantly ingested with varying delays. Occasionally the delays spike.
Now, I want to generate a baseline over time that will give me an idea of what is the common delay value and then based on that value, a max threshold (equal to twice the average) over which spikes become problematic.
The way I've been doing this until now, is to take the average delay over 10 minutes, and then every new 10 minutes, I'll generate a new average for that time period, add it to the old average and divide by 2. The result of that would be my final new average and then I'd repeat for the following 10 minutes. The exception would be if an average was twice the value of the previous average, in which case I would skip it and bring over the previous average. In this way, I would avoid drift with my baseline.
It recently came to my attention though that it might be better to use median to generate this baseline because of the (albeit infrequent) tendency for spikes.
What would be the best way to generate a baseline in this case?

I am a 21 year old male. So over the last month or 2 I have started having issues. In the beginning I had to pee more often but it wasn't bad. It's slowly been getting worse and these last 2 weeks have been awful. I got a UTI and STD test, both came back negative. I have an appointment to see a doctor tomorrow, to refer me to a urologist hopefully. I am wondering if this is pelvic floor dysfunction, a lot of my symptoms seem consistent with that. I drink a normal amount of water and I feel like my bladder is full constantly, and then I go to the bathroom and don't even pee that much. And then it hurts again within 20-30 minutes. And even after I pee the pain is still there, just a lot less. I have also been struggling to get all my pee out, I can sit here and keep peeing little bits at a time. Additionally, I have dealt with constipation my whole life I get it very regularly. I read that constipation can weaken your Pelvic Floor. I also feel like my constipation has been getting worse, as I can't get it all out basically. I go to the bathroom and feel like I didn't finish my bowel movement. I don't have any backpain just frequent urination and constipation. Also when i pee, I press the area of my pelvic floor with my finger, it helps get all the pee out. I have done this my entire life. I'm wondering if this could be damaging my pelvic floor muscle? Also, I am uncomfortable using public toilets and I often times hold in my bowel movements when I have to go at work, maybe this could weaken my pelvic floor, holding it in so long?

I’ll try to keep it short and sweet. Owned a 2013 Victory Cross Roads and while it was a smooth and comfortable bike, I felt like I would have to muscle it around on my journeys and I hated that. I’m 5’7” and 165lbs and was strong enough to maneuver as needed but it started to deter me from even taking out.
I’m looking to purchase a new or lightly used bike and have it be more nimble but still have good power. It will be used mostly for my 45 minute commute and then maybe a few hour or so long trips to some scenic areas around me. Although they’re in two separate camps, I’m down the rabbit hole on the new R7 but I’ve also enjoyed the Indian scouts. I haven’t rode an R7 so I may hate it but after some research I love pretty much everything about it - hoping to test ride one tomorrow or next week.
With all that being said, I’m open to many brands, models, ideas. I’ll test ride just about anything. I just don’t know where else to look and where to start research. Looking to spend closer to $10k but no more than $15k. Thanks.

Hi. I’ve been sick with something that caused terrible vomiting and diarrhea over the weekend. I now just have diarrhea. I’m PCR positive and toxin neg. Waiting for other test results to come back. Frustrated because I had c diff in 2021 and three negative PCRs since then. Have an appt with my GI doc tomorrow. Wondering- it seems the toxin test has a high rate of false negatives, what’s your experience with that? I’m worried my doc will want to start meds based on my symptoms. He’s brilliant so I imagine he’ll be level headed about it. And, at least this time, I can try dificid since vanco was really hard on me. Any experiences people can share would be appreciated. I’ve just been sobbing in fear. I hate c diff PTSD.

Part 7
--------------------------------------------------------
It's been two weeks since we've escaped the sleep watchers. Ramirez's concoction worked, waking everyone up and soon enough, the outside of the carts were once again the pitch black void we've got accustomed too. Thankfully, the worst thing that the sleep watchers left us with was a feeling of tiredness. Otherwise, most of us were in perfectly fine health. At least, that's how it looked at the time.
After we evaded the sleep watchers, we couldn't sleep properly for several days. Everyone was scared about getting caught in another trap, one that might leave us in an inescapable encounter with the creatures of this world. It didn't help that the black mist that was present when I woke up began following us, always disappearing just as you turned your eyes to it. Sometimes however, you would be able to catch it in the corner of your eye. It never did anything, but at this point, we couldn't take any chances.
We ended up doubling our watch. Now, four people were awake at all times, paired in groups of two. Most of the times I paired with Marie, one of us being the lookout while the other carefully studied the journal. We would switch places when one of us needed a break. One night, I was standing at the door of the carts while Marie was reading.
"Hey, come back here," Marie yelled suddenly, scaring me half to death, "I think I found something!"
I rushed back and sat next to her.
"What is it? What did you find?"
"I think this is the thing that kept following us for the last few days."
"Let me have a look."
Marie's finger pointed at the title of the page. Written in black, bold letters, it read "Mistling". Normally, Ramirez's entries occupied at the minimum two to three pages, including the drawing. In this case however, the entry was only the drawing and a few phrases.
The drawing showed a small portion of the cart, as if you were looking straight at one of the cart doors. It was a very detailed sketch of a cart, drawn with thick lines, which contrasted with the Mistling, who was drawn with very thin lines, giving it an almost aetherial look.
"The Mistling," noted Ramirez, "as I've decided to name them, is a medium-sized floating black mist that can sometimes be found in the subway. It's appearance rate is random, given that it can take a few days to a few months between seeing one. What makes them important, at least important enough to note about them, are the following two constants:
​

1. They're almost always found near a body. Doesn't matter if the person died of natural causes or fell victim to one of the many dangers of the subway, it will be there. I can only assume that in the exceptionally rare cases one is found at random, there is a high likelihood that there was a body in that cart at some point.
2. They're always stationary. You could spend weeks in the same cart as them and the mist will always stay in the same area as you found them, the only movement being the constant swirling of the mistling.

​
Beyond this, neither I nor anyone I have met so far have no clue of what they're deal is. They don't seem dangerous, but I'd be a fool if I trusted any creature in this place. However, as far as other "residents" are concerned, the mistling is harmless enough."
"Well," she said, "seems we have an unusual fellow on our hands."
"Right..." I agreed. "And here I thought we had something..."
"It's still better than nothing." said Marie, putting her hand on my shoulder. I instinctively put my hand on hers.
"Besides," she continued , "not considering this thing's unusual energy, everything else seems to check out. Hopefully, it's still as harmless as Mr. Ramirez said."
"You may be right," I said, "but we'll still need to keep a watch on whatever this Mistling is."
"Obviously. After all, someone I know told me" said Marie in a slightly jokey way while poking my arm, ""you can never be too careful." Quite a few times actually."
I started blushing a little bit. "Come on now, don't make fun of me like that!"
"I'm just teasing you is all." she smiled at me, putting her head on my shoulder, "Besides, I like that careful side of yours. Don't be ashamed of it."
I kept silent while still blushing.
"Even still," she said while yawning and stretching her arms, "I'd take even more of these Mistlings over that green-skin thing any day. That one really gave me the heebie-jeebies. Ugh."
I paused for a second and I turned my head towards her.
"What green-skin thing?"
"Oh, just one of the previous entries in this thing." she said, in a half-asleep voice. "Was a disease if i remember correctly."
"Let me take a look." I said, taking the journal from her hands.
"Knock yourself out, dear..."
"And you should wake up," telling her as I nudged her a bit "we can't go sleep yet!"
"But I'm sitting so comfortable now... Five more minutes, pleaaase..."
"Fiine..." I sighed as I opened the journal, "but you better get up afterwards."
"Yeey."
"Now let's see here... Ah! There it is."
The entry was titled "Green-Skin Disease." The drawing was spread across the two pages of the journal, showing what appeared to be an evolution of a sick man. It started with a picture of a shoulder with a deep, bleeding cut across it, noted as "entry point". That was Stage 0. An arrow pointed to the next picture, Stage 1 written over it. The drawing zoomed out of the shoulder, showing the figure of a normal looking man, scratching his shoulder. The location of the wound had two new scribbles: "green" and "flakey". The next arrow pointed towards a drawing of the same man, Stage 2. This time however, the man looked sick, having sunken eyes and visible bones. The scribbles pointed towards the man's skin, reading "greenish skin" and "yellow veins". After that, the arrow showed the man, barely a skeleton. Stage 3. His skin was noted as "entirely green" with the addition of the word paralyzed next to him. The final arrow pointed to the man, deceased.
I found the imagery disturbing enough, but Ramirez went into detail.
"The Green-skin disease, named after the characteristic shade of green left on the body, is one of the few new bodily afflictions I have encountered as I ventured across the subway. Its deadliness is only matched by its rarity, having had encountered only a few unfortunate souls that suffered from this disease. Ten people I have met, of various age groups and ethnicity, with the only discriminatory factor between them being the age, revealing that the older someone is, the quicker it spreads. Of the ten, only one of them has survived, solely because the group I was in at the time reacted quick enough. All ten of the victims, including the people of the groups some of them were in, have told me what they have been through, providing me with a clear pattern to base my research on. The progression of the disease is as follows:
Infection: For the disease to take place, there needs to be at the very least a tiny amount of Green-Mushrooms present in the area, mature enough to release spores. The Green-Mushrooms look identical to regular mold, making the two indistinguishable. Luckily, the Green-Mushrooms take a while to be mature enough to release spores, dying quickly thereafter. Contributing to its rarity is the fact that the only way for the spores to infect the body is via an open wound in the skin, breathing or ingesting the spores not resulting in an infection. Nevertheless, if a person is unlucky enough to suffer an injury while there are green-spores in the air, the spores will take root on the skin, feeding upon it.
Stage 1: The spores have begun spreading. They have a very slow spreading rate, taking months or even years for it to advance to the next stage. Characteristic of this stage is the steadily growing green patch of skin, even after the closure of the wound. The green skin left by the spores is characterized as slightly itchy, resulting in the sufferer to often scratch themselves, leaving small amounts of green skin flakes that carry spores. This is the only stage where the person infected might still be saved. If you were lucky, the infection began at one of your limbs, making it possible to amputate the infected arm or leg. It is only necessary to amputate from above the infection area downwards, possibly remaining with more of your healthy limb. If you were unlucky and the infection began at a vital area, or you didn't have the tools or knowledge to amputate it on time, the disease will eventually progress to the stage.
Stage 2: The spores have gotten deep enough to reach your circulatory system. Once it's in the blood, the spores will travel all throughout the victim's body, coloring the veins in a sickly yellow and turning the skin to a light green. The person now begins to feel tired and moody, showing signs of fever. They will lose weight despite eating, the energy of the food being sent to the ever-increasing spores inside their body. If there are not enough nutrients for the spores, the disease will begin feeding on the body of the victim. Only after a day or two once stage two has been reached, the victim will enter stage three
Stage 3: This is the final stage of the disease. The spores begin attacking the nervous system, leaving it paralyzed from the neck down, a result of the spores eating the remainder of the victim's nerves and organs. The last organ to go is the brain, resulting in the death of the victim. This stage only lasts an hour.
I have yet to discover a cure for the Green-Skin Disease. The only sure fire way of escaping is to remove the infected area of the body before it reaches the bloodstream. If it reaches the bloodstream, the kindest thing to do for the victim is to kill them painlessly, before they reach the final stage."
My skin began to crawl after finishing the last sentence. I couldn't believe something this insidious could ever exist, but then again, a few months ago I couldn't believe any of this could possibly be real.
"Hey kid, found anything interesting?"
Matt's arrival had brought me back to reality.
"Oh, hey Matt, what are you doing here?"
"Your shift's ended. Me and Nick are taking over, so you and the miss can get some rest, though from the looks of it, she beat me to the punch eh?"
Marie was fully asleep, her head still on my shoulder.
"Yeah, sure. Thanks Matt." I replied.
"No problem kid... Heh," Matt chuckled a little bit, "If I think about it, I'll probably have to stop calling you kid soon."
"What do you mean?"
Matt began smiling. "John told me of your little plan with the rings."
"Shhhh, quiet." I said, as I turned my head to Marie, making sure she was still asleep.
"Don't worry, I've seen that girl. Doubt an earthquake would be able to wake her up."
"I suppose that's fair. Marie was always a heavy sleeper."
"Is that so? Well, better wake her up so she can sleep in a more comfortable place."
I woke Marie up and began leaving Matt and John to their watches.
"Hey Matt?" I asked, just before I exited the cart.
"What's up?" he asked as he sat down on one of the chairs.
"How's the leg?"
"Eh, it's fine. You don't have to worry about it."
"You're still limping though."
"Hey, if you were shot in the leg at my age, you'd probably limp too."
"I suppose that's fair. Are you sure everything's alright?"
"Very sure. Go on now, don't leave the girl waiting. Plus, I have a mighty itch to scratch, so I'd rather you not witness it."
I left as soon as he said that, not wanting to be part of something I thought it might be quite unsightly. As I made my way to Marie, my mind was lost in thought again, trying to remember everything I read today. Because of that, I tripped on one of those metal poles people used to hold onto when the subway was busy, though now without purpose in this endlessly empty place. What caught my eye however was something I saw when I looked on the floor of the cart.
Small, greenish-looking flakes.

For many years, I have had severe joint pain that ranges from irritating to debilitating (can’t stand up or walk at all at times). My knees will hurt from driving, my feet, knees, and hips hurt from standing for five minutes, sideways movements hurt my knees, having my elbows bent for a while will cause them to get incredibly stiff and uncomfortable to move. I also get back pain, neck stiffness (and occasionally pain), and wrist pain.
My wrists grind all the time (it’s audible) and my back, neck, wrists, elbow, ankles, and toes will crack and pop several times daily. For years I’ve been joking about having the joint of an old lady. When I was 13, my back pain got so bad for the first time that there were days where I couldn’t walk. I saw a chiropractor for a couple months and my back got much better. I was an active kid but never anything super intense.
I’ve never had any noticeable swelling to my joints and there’s no family history of any joint issues that I know of. I also tested negative for RA and Lupus. What else can cause this? Surely I can’t end up with regular osteoarthritis in most of my joints at 22?
I’m currently on 75mg a day of pregabalin.

i graduated high school about a week ago. it was an ok public school, not perfect but i cherish it. i've always been a pretty high-performing student and i finished about top 3% of my class out of nearly 400 other seniors, although i wouldn't say i learned too much (especially during sophomore year where i was fully at home because of covid. i barely remember anything that i learned back then). outside of academics, i was running this little satire page themed around the school and i dabbled in a bunch of shit. but, i never took a step back to even think about what i want to do with my life, because i found it too scary to even think about it when i could stay in the temporary comfort of not doing anything about it, instead drowning myself with the time-consuming workload of my challenging academics and my aimless extracurricular activities. and so i did and inevitably the end came. now the structure in my life is gone, the biggest distraction i had is gone. the little rigor i had to wake up early is gone and now my sleep schedule is starting to drift again. now that i dont have any bullshit work to do or extracurriculars to worry about, the pressure is on to figure out my life. but instead of actually properly researching things i currently keep numbing myself with distractions: videogames, youtube, half-assed music production... the numbing works until i go to bed and remember that i'm slowly wasting my life by not doing anything about things and then my stomach fills with anxiety. either that or during the day, my family will ask me questions about college, whether ive looked for more scholarships, whether ive done x or y important thing i should be doing. sometimes it'll escalate and my dad will confront me, rightfully, about how i havent done anything and he'll order me to do the things that i probably should be doing, like researching majors and nearby college costs. right now im not doing that, im fully aware. the only reason i'm not numbing myself right now is because i saw a video for one of those self-improvement channels on my recommended, got scared by it and scrolled away from it (because it looked like one of those videos that would address the issues i'm struggling with right now), then forced myself to find it and watch it and push past the fear not that long ago. like literally less than an hour ago.
my memory isn't very clear but leading up to August (you know, the month where most college applications open) last year, i was pretty damn scared because it felt like i should try things out and apply but i didnt know anything. and i should have researched things about the process and assessed myself to figure out what majors to look at, but i never did out of sheer fear. i was just completely paralyzed because of how scared i was at this whole situation. that and, like i mentioned, my coursework and extracurriculars distracted me too. i was even more scared in October when the federal application for student aid opened — so scared that i didn't even try to fill it out until a few months ago.
i'm sorry for that huge wall of text. my question is now: how do i figure out my life? rather, how do i figure out what i want to do with my life after high school? after applying to some (but not that many) scholarships (most of which i applied for last minute because the guilt of not applying was crushing me), ive been offered a bunch of money for my nearby community college. it's not that much — $5.7k — the college's website states the average cost of attendance for a full-time student attending the fall and spring terms last year was nearly $16k, but i don't know if that includes whatever financial aid they offer the students based on need.
aside from that, probably the biggest hurdle is i don't even know what i want to major in. i don't know what i want to do, or what i want my life to look like in the future. i don't think i even know what my values are in the first place to even answer all the common questions that have popped up in my desperate google searches of how to figure out what to do after high school. my indecision led to me being so paralyzed by fear during college app season that i didnt apply, except for one last-minute application that got cancelled because i didnt truly know if i wanted to go to that university anyway. i could list a bunch of things i've done but i don't know if i'm good at them or if i enjoy them:

1. i'm pretty decent at video editing, having done it since i was way younger. i've edited gameplay videos, put together footage and put graphics on top of it (for my satire page), and i recall making one video — it was this mock infomercial — where i had to make a basic prop, get footage of it, make graphics for it, get my friends to voice act in it and edit everything together. i was satisfied with the result and i think it's the best video out of all of the videos i made for my satire page. it wasn't even a video in the traditional form of all the other videos i made for it, which consisted of just footage with graphics on top and satirical text about the story.
2. music. i love listening to music (although i suspect it might as well be another way for me to procrastinate) and for a long time i've used DAWs like fl studio, ableton and renoise to make some. i made a bunch of stuff throughout middle school and high school, and i even made an album. i composed a track for a state-level contest and i won the highest award. but, not only do i not feel like a career in music is a stable one, i don't think my music is that great. im stuck in this loop of having a thousand plugins and instruments and only making short loops and never touching them again. the last thing i did was make a drum loop that i was proud of because i learned how to mix the drums then added some instruments then made a reference track out of it just so i can listen to it outside of software.
3. ive worked a lot with things relating to image manipulation. i use photoshop a lot. ive used it to make all sorts of things: mock posters, logos, collages, cutouts of artworks, etc. i've worked also with illustrator and some other software. i recall that one project i did for school was a fake medicine product, where i designed the packaging in illustrator (which took forever but i was very proud of because of how it all looked in the end) then printed it out and folded it into a box.
4. i've done several things regarding videogames. namely i reverse engineered this one game i really liked, after having learned a lot about it (mainly from speedrunning and just playing a lot and researching it despite it being obscure) and i made some mods for it where i replaced the sounds and textures with my own. then i made this custom debug menu for the game where all i had to do was use a tool that allowed me to write my own code (C#) and i could just inject it directly into the game. and the last thing i did was i managed to reverse engineer the game back into an Unity project file (yes it's a Unity game) and i exported it to Android and i was going to make an Android port but haven't made progress because i dont know how to program mobile controls.

i just don't know what it means that i do these things, though. does it mean i should pursue careers relating to these things? i don't know if i enjoy video editing; i was gonna participate in a contest where we had to edit a music video together using the raw footage of it but i was demotivated, but i don't know if i was just demotivated or if im genuinely just not cut out for it. i dont even know what the jobs are like and i dont know how to find that out.
i don't know if i want to do music, like i said because music seems so unstable if it were my only source of income. but i genuinely don't think i'm that good. should i pursue something if i'm not that good at it? how do i assess myself?
about the game, i don't think programming is my thing either. i dont know what it is, i just don't know if i could handle more complex stuff, because what i did for the game was pretty straightforward; i just programmed an UI using a GUI system that Unity comes with, then I learned how to add buttons and stuff to it to manipulate the ingame variables and other stuff. if i want to learn how to make mobile controls for an Android port of the game, that'd take actual programming, and i tried to look it all up and i was so overwhelmed that i dont know if i can do it. maybe i can, but it'd take a while.
tldr: i never thought about what i wanted to do after high school and now that high school is over i could either not think about it and keep wasting my life away or try to think about it, but i don't know where to start since i never tried to truly find myself. how do i assess the things i've done and decide what i could do with them, whether i should go to college, if i should go anytime soon.

I bought X-Plane 12 a few months ago on Steam, a couple of weeks before I retired my old gaming PC and built my new one with latest hardware and moved from Ubuntu 22.04 to Fedora 38 to have a more up to date Linux kernel and Mesa drivers.
X-Plane 12 worked just fine on my old gaming PC but I have not been able to get it to run on my new gaming PC:

When I first installed Fedora 38, the Mesa driver version was 22.2.5, a lot of games were having trouble running but I had some decent success so I just waited for Mesa to update, and with every update the games got better, the RX 7900XTX got better support but still, X-Plane 12 still would not run.
Finally Mesa 23.1.1 came out with a log of bug fixes and improvements for the AMD 7000 series gpus, I have seen some great gains but X-Plane 12 still won't work.
I have uninstalled the game, deleted the folders for X-plane 12, did a fresh install, but still, nothing works.
Has anyone run into this problem? Is it a vulkan problem? Or Fedora? Or is the Steam version bad? I really want to play it with the new hardware.

Does anyone have any advice for how to work on timing, especially for RC? I'm taking the June exam and desperately want to break 170. I keep making silly mistakes on LG, like missing a rule, which I always catch on BR, and running low on time on RC which makes me panic and flustered.
Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks!

First dental appointment in a new area; my last visit was about 1.5 years ago. I signed up for a checkup and cleaning. I take relatively good care of my teeth. Not perfect, but I've never had braces, cavities, or gum issues.
15 minutes before my appointment, I get a text saying that they are out of network with my insurance. I booked this apt 3 months ago. Whatever, I'll pay the $88 (no clue if that's a decent fee or not) out of pocket.
They take x-rays and then say they need to check my gums to see what kind of cleaning I need. They do their test by stabbing my gums and reading out numbers 1 through 5. They explain the test and say that I have a few spots of gingivitis. They then say I need a two part cleaning, which they can't do today. I have to schedule appointments in the future.
Not even entirely sure how to ask my question... but does this sound right? I was excited in a way to find a dentist and not have to worry about it anymore. I couldn't help but feel like 1. they just didn't want to clean my teeth (5pm appointment) or 2. they were signing me up for unnecessarily thorough($$) cleanings. Can anyone one in the dental field tell me if this sounds right or if I'm overreacting? (Btw, I counted about 4 times they noted a "4" and 1 time they noted a "5" out of ~50 ratings while doing the gum test.)
Apologies if this doesn't even make sense, but I'm just really disappointed from that experience.

I mostly just need to vent about this. I'm a man in my late thirties. I spent the entirety of my twenties committed to one person and dated sporadically in my thirties with less than inspiring results.
Had been in a relationship with this girl for three or four months. She was about 8 years younger than me, worked part time as a barista and lived with her mother in a one bedroom apartment but she was incredibly sweet and enthusiastic and would do these sweet gestures like writing me letters about how excited she was to be with me and bringing lunch to me at work so I fell for her pretty hard and fast--dating in my thirties has generally been a pretty disappointing affair, with most women treating me like some kind of consolation settlement for not getting what they really wanted, so spending time with someone who seemed genuinely enthusiastic about me was.... like a drug.
After about four months or so she wanted to meet my family who I'm not on great terms with but I settled and took her to my brother and sister-in-law's place. While she was there, they let slip that I live... uncomfortably close to my mother--when the pandemic ended, my landlords hiked their rent beyond what I was willing to pay so I reached out to my mother's landlady who had what I needed but the catch was being essentially next door to her. I'm not on great terms with my mother so I spent the entire time living there trying to pretend her place wasn't a rock's throw away... therefore it never really occurred to me to mention it.
Anyway, when my girlfriend found out, she didn't handle it well and accused me of hiding things from her. I apologized and we had a very long talk about it and it seemed like things had gotten better for half a week or so. One morning she was leaving my place to go to a class and about five minutes after she left, my entire house began to shake--it turns out a tornado had torn through the area, ripped the roofs off of a number of businesses and residences--there was a car crushed under a tree all of about a block away from my home so when I got out to survey the damage I was immediately worried about her.
Texted her immediately and asked if she was okay but got no response. I work in tv so my entire day was occupied with covering the path of the storm and all of the damage it had caused in between trying to see if there was anyone who could safely check on her. By the end of what turned out to be a twelve hour day I was a shaking mess with still no response--and I wouldn't get one for another three days. It was nonchalant and completely unapologetic. After that response, I wouldn't hear from her for another week when I finally got upset.
She called and still didn't apologize, only giving me a lame excuse about not being in a good headspace but I was so happy to hear her voice for the first time since the tornado hit that I forgave her. For the next couple weeks we kept making plans with about a 75% chance of her cancelling at the last minute. During the last night we were together she found out that one of my best friends who she hadn't met yet (new mother, so not a lot of time for socializing) and I had dated very briefly about eight years before, proclaimed she was sick of the lies and stormed out of my home. She broke up with me via text and told me never to talk to her again.
In summary I guess this post is half complaining about ghosting and half me trying to figure normal people out... like I'm about 80% sure I'm some variety of on the spectrum but it wasn't really a thing that was tested regularly when I was younger and don't really care enough to bother now, so I guess I need to have normal brains explained to me sometimes. Should I move forward in life always ready to detail every bit of minutia about my life in explicit and immediate detail, such as exactly what proximity my mother's home is to mine and whether or not my best friend and I initially dated for a hot second before deciding we'd much rather be friends almost a decade ago?

Tibek, 21 years old Venlil
Date: 23th December 1914
Place: Near Ypres, Belgium.
The whole year was rough. I sometimes couldn’t fall asleep because of people who I saw die. I saw them die either from bullets or being beaten to death by some mediaeval age weaponry that is used in trenches. Some of them were executed for deserting some were torn apart, shredded into pieces by an artillery shell, I’d probably have shot myself already if it wasn't Otto or Rilek. Adolf sometimes was cheering me up and it was enough to keep myself somehow not broken and in one piece.
I heard a whistle and gunshots. I took my rifle and quickly ran to the nearest available spot to shoot the enemy. The tactics were still the same, just suicidal attack with mix of artillery in hope the defending side will break and attackers will take trenches. I took the spot and aimed my rifle at the enemy and pulled the trigger. He fell dead on the ground after I shot, then I chambered the next round.
Earlier when the war started I was hesitating to shoot somebody, they had families…kids. They had someone to love them and that hesitation almost got me killed. Twice in September and once in November, I was close to death three times because I didn’t want to make another family lose its son or father.
As the war raged on and turned into a bloody, violent mess, so did I. I understood that if I did not kill the person in front of my rifle I would die. I surely wanted to live as them but I had no other choice…not to shoot…death. Desertion? Death…everything leads to death except killing. I sometimes couldn’t understand the stupid “Rush in hope they break” tactic which always resulted in high casualties due to counter artillery fire and machine guns. It sometimes was a miracle if this worked.
I heard artillery noise and later the shells were exploding, almost hitting our trench. I took cover and heard a sound of somebody approaching the trench and I peeked out with my rifle aimed at the soundmaker. I saw the face of a Venlil in a french uniform which still was that dumb bright red and blue form. He looked into my eyes and I looked into his….I hesitated to shoot him again and he aimed his pistol at me but the artillery shell exploded.
I fell on the trench floor as my cap went flying back from the explosion, my face got coated in his orange blood and guts and probably one piece of it made into my mouth. I quickly spit what was in my mouth and sat, my breath was fast alongside with the heartbeat. I hesitated again and it almost got me killed…happily or not the poor soldier was killed by his own artillery fire.
I stood up and took the post I got pushed by the exploded shell and aimed my gun at the British human soldier. I noticed that one of them had some markings on his uniform and I shot him first…in the head. His cap flew a bit off his head and fell on the ground as his dead body fell on the ground, not moving. The soldiers around him looked panicked and scared as I thought that I shot their officer…maybe one day they will stop just being first on the frontline.
I quickly chambered the next round into my rifle and shot another soldier…then another. I heard that they started to whistle and we prepared to launch our counter attack but their artillery shells dropped on our positions and they were hitting the trenches itself, damaging it and killing dozens of my fellow brothers in arms. I decided to quickly hide to not get killed and I left my position and took a turn then the shell exploded.
I felt the power of this shell as I fell on trench ground and my ears were ringing. I felt pain in my whole body and I felt that I was being torn apart from inside. It was hard to keep my eyes open and I saw Otto quickly running to me, I couldn’t hear what he was saying and the last I saw was him taking me in his hands and dragging me somewhere, then….everything went dark.
— Date: 24th December 1914.
I slowly opened my eyes and still felt dizzy and some pain in my limbs and body. I looked around and saw Otto, Rilek and Adolf nearby. Otto noticed me and quickly came to me, checking if I’m alright.
“Tibek! You’re good! Gott sei Dank!" He said and shook me slightly. I slightly laughed seeing that somebody is caring about me. Rilek also came and smiled when seeing me. I slowly stood up and was sitting on a built-in bench in the trench. I slowly approached Adolf and patted him on the shoulder, he slowly looked at me and stood up. He tightly hugged me, seeing that I’m alive and fine.
“Mein gott! You made me worry!” He said and I tightly hugged him back.
“Don’t worry my kameraden, I’m tough to kill.” I replied and laughed. I saw something white drop on the ground and looked around, others did too. I saw snowflakes falling on the ground which meant that Christmas is here. At least some holidays I liked…when I was kid.
I heard some soldiers cheering and looked to the right and saw some of them decorating a small christmas tree. I felt some joy for the first time in this bloody war. I heard some shouting and I took my rifle as did others and we quickly rushed to the positions.
As we arrived and took positions I saw the enemy in the trench, the trenches were not that far and we were able to see each other. We didn’t start to shoot at each other as usual. I then looked on the left and saw Otto who looked strange.
He took some bottle and slowly raised them from the trench, he slowly pulled out the bottle of wine and showed it to our enemy and walked toward them.
“WHAT YOU DOING?! GET BACK!” I heard Rilek shout as Otto didn’t stop. He continued to slowly walk towards them and I heard that some of the enemy troopers were shouting too and then I saw one of them do the same Otto.
They slowly approached each other as we were yelling at them and aiming our guns at each other. Then Otto and the British soldier….shook each other's hands. I felt unusual and lowered my gun….this is Christmas, the holiday of humans Jesus. I slowly understood that it's madness to shoot each other during this great holiday and I slowly stood up and put a rifle on my shoulder. And started to approach them. I had some fear that I might be shot…but with each step I took the fear slowly disappeared.
As I approached Otto and the British soldier he offered his hand and I shook it without thinking, then came the French soldier and we did the same. I looked around and saw other people coming closer and shaking hands, some of them were hugging. I heard someone yell and saw them bringing the ball for football, they started to talk with other soldiers and put rifles nearby. I did the same and put my gun down into the same pile with French, British, Belgium and our guns.
I saw Otto discussing something with a German and British soldier who probably knew Deutch. I saw a British venlil soldier approaching me and he hugged me. He hugged me tightly and I heard him quietly crying. I hugged him back as tight as I could, then he stopped hugging and put his hand into his pocket and when he pulled it out it was a card which had a girl with a christmas outfit on it and some words in their language. I didn’t know it but I understood that it was a “Merry Christmas” card. Wish I could send one to my family….I hugged him last time and he walked back to their trench.
I never felt so peaceful in the war and it was very silent, no guns shooting…no artillery sounds. It was….just silence….just peace. The peace we are all fighting for. I got poked at my shoulder and saw Otto.
“Hey Tibek, have you ever played football?” He said and I looked at him with a bit of confusion but I quickly understood what he’s about.
“Uh….no I never played it.” I replied.
“Well…would you like to?” He said and slightly laughed and stood aside, revealing that British, German, Belgium and French soldiers were standing in front of each other waiting for my answer.
“J-ja… I wo-would like to.” I said thinking that it would be hard to play football.
“Well then let’s go, we got the whole team to play against them, heh.” He said and walked towards them and I followed him.
For the next several hours we were playing football, I never could think that I would be playing the sport I never played before with my enemy. The game was fun, filled with fun and joy I finally experienced. We even had a large crowd standing around and watching how we played. Otto explained how to play this game and I quickly understood and was getting better each minute.
The match finally ended in a tie. We all were exhausted and near each other, then someone started to sing a song and slowly Otto started to sing too. I saw Rilek and Adolf join as some British and French soldiers. I soon joined in singing too, we were drinking, singing and trading some stuff with each other for some time.
After this Otto organised us and them to clean the battlefield. We all worked together as a team and I saw that officer that I shot several hours ago. I felt tears running down my cheeks as I helped a British soldier dig a grave for him and bury him. Soon we all cleaned it and returned back to what we were doing till nightfall. I saw a Belgian and German soldier putting the large cross on the No Man’s Land. It was time to say goodbye. I tightly hugged British and French Venlil, hoping that we will be able to see each other after this war ends. I think I made some friends during this time.
Tonight we’re all friends and brothers no matter what happened in the past. Who knows, maybe without this war the people who died would’ve done something great for our society. All of us slowly returned back to the trenches, not forgetting the guns. I still felt exhausted and as soon as I got to a bunk I fell asleep on it.

I’m so frustrated. I stopped at a yellow light during my road test but the driver behind me gunned it, probably intending on tailgating me through the yellow, which resulted in my car getting rear-ended (automatic fail for me, unfortunately). It was a hit-and-run. Police didn’t have enough footage to catch the plate so the case was closed a couple of days later.
It’s been a week since the collision. The tester told me I’m legally not allowed to drive or retest until “the state clears it” and told me she’ll submit a report to the state. I called the secretary of state today to ask if there’s any updates, and they said they never received a report of any collision and that my driving record was completely clean. Not only that, but the SOS also said that police departments are typically the ones to submit a crash report (which they didn’t, since they closed the case).
I contacted the testing centre with this info, and the tester simply said I’m still not allowed to retest despite all the info given above, and that she definitely submitted the report. I called the SOS back, and they informed me that reports should be updated instantaneously (e.g. when you pass a road test it immediately updates) and there’s no reason it should be taking this long. I asked if I can legally retest and the person on the phone said yes with the approval of her manager. I explained what happened when I contacted the testing centre and she advised me to not use it anymore.
I contacted the testing centre again and relayed the new info to them. The tester completely ignored it all and told me I have to wait for the state’s paperwork to arrive in the mail.
This whole situation seems really suspicious; it’s almost as thought they want to bar me from testing again.
I should probably add that it was my second road test (and I was doing fine up until the collision), I failed the first one because I made too many adjustments during parking. However, the tester didn’t specify which part caused me to fail, only that I “lost too many points” (confusing because I made 4 total adjustments out of the 6 allowed and didn’t hit any lines or cones).
The testing centre is Same Day Road Test btw.

A groundbreaking theory in quantum physics, dubbed the "Oceanic Model," offers a novel perspective on several key cosmic phenomena. This theory uses the behavior of water as an allegory to elucidate complex cosmic phenomena, presenting a dynamic, interconnected universe.
The Oceanic Model reimagines the Big Bang as a 'Big Ripple' in the fabric of space-time, akin to a pebble dropped into a calm pond. This concept aligns with quantum theories suggesting that the universe may have originated from quantum fluctuations.
The model provides new insights into gravitational waves and gravity, likening them to ocean waves and rip currents. It proposes that gravity, as a consolidated effect of gravitational waves, acts as a 'gravitational current' that appears attractive due to the intensity of these waves.
One of the most revolutionary aspects of this model is its proposition on the nature and origin of time. It suggests that time emerges from the slowing vibrations of gravitational waves, offering a dynamic and relative view of time's passage.
The Oceanic Model presents a fresh perspective on dark matter and dark energy, proposing that these mysterious phenomena could act as a 'binding agent' or 'quantum glue' connecting the quantum and physical realities. This viewpoint proposes that dark matter and dark energy could represent the interaction or overlap between these realities, potentially influencing the manifestation of quantum phenomena at larger scales.
Interestingly, the model provides a fresh take on quantum entanglement, suggesting that this could be interpreted as a feature of the 'quantum glue' that binds reality. The model proposes that dark matter and dark energy might facilitate the instantaneous connections observed in quantum entanglement.
A particularly intriguing aspect of this model is its take on black holes. It suggests that black holes could form as a result of vortices caused by intense gravitational waves, analogous to whirlpools in water. Furthermore, it proposes that black holes themselves might not produce any gravity but are rather the epicenter of powerful gravitational currents.
The Oceanic Model also provides an elegant explanation for our observations of the universe. As ripples always expand outwards, we will always perceive the universe's expansion at a nearly uniform rate from our perspective. This perspective accounts for the isotropy and homogeneity of the universe, which are key features observed in the Cosmic Microwave Background and the large-scale structure of the universe.
Importantly, this theory adheres to the current assumptions of General Relativity, upholding the principles of equivalence, local Lorentz invariance, and the constancy of the speed of light. However, it diverges from the typical space-time model, proposing a dynamic, quantum-mechanical perspective of space and time.
While the Oceanic Model remains a speculative and metaphorical theory, it presents a unified framework for understanding the universe's fundamental aspects. Empirical testing is needed to validate these ideas, but the model represents a bold leap in quantum physics, potentially opening up new avenues for research.
In the cosmic ocean of our universe, we may be just beginning to understand the ripples, waves, and currents that shape our understanding of reality. As we delve deeper into the quantum depths, the Oceanic Model suggests that phenomena like dark matter, dark energy, quantum entanglement, and even black holes could be the undercurrents that bind and shape the reality we perceive.

Interra Copper (IMCX.c IMIMF) provides a compelling and early-stage investment opportunity having recently commenced drill and crew mobilization at its Tres Marias Copper Project in Chile.

With global supplies being depleted and demand only forecast to grow, indicators show we're headed to a commodities supercycle, resulting in a significant market opportunity coming for new streams of supply to enter the market for a range of commodities.
As the electrification of the world economy is going to demand more and more materials, marking the emergence of copper as an essential metal as it is a critical component in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and advanced electronics.
Located in the Chilean Copper Belt, IMCX's Tres Marias is in close proximity to several of the world's largest mines including the largest copper mining company & largest mining company in the world BHP Billiton (BHP BHP.ax), Antofagasta Minerals (ANTO), Glencore (GLEN), and the second largest mining company in the world Freeport-McMoRan (FCX).
Consisting of 10,500m of reverse circulation drilling across three target areas within 16,000ha of contiguous concessions, IMCX's upcoming drill program will focus on the Eastern target area at Tres Marias where historical exploration results outline anomalies indicative of porphyry copper deposit mineralization as well as a hydrothermally altered system containing Zn-Ag-Pb-Cu polymetallic mineralization.

Sociedad Perforaciones E Inginiera Chile Limitada, a local business and experienced drilling contractor servicing many large producing mines in Chile, has been contracted to perform the first phase of the RC drilling campaign which will test several high-priority geological and geophysical anomalies at the project.
IMCX President & CEO, Chris Buncic, commented

"With drill pad construction complete and contractors now on site, we look forward to seeing the results of our efforts thus far at Tres Marias. Drill hole evidence, coupled with our geophysical and geological interpretations, suggest a potential copper porphyry system to the west-southwest of historical work. Our geological team theorize that the Guacate East and Guacate West faults may have allowed for the transfer of mineralizing fluids from a deeper intrusive target, and the location of geophysical anomalies and surface alteration support this idea."

Tres Marias is one of three projects IMCX acquired from Freeport-McMoRan (FCX, $58B market cap), a unique arrangement as FCX rarely partners with junior exploration companies, demonstrating a significant level of confidence in IMCX and its stacked management team.

What exactly are our dots capable of? We don't really know unless we experiment and try different things. I like trying to find neat things that dots can do and other chatbots can't.
The long term memory system is one obvious example... But is there more to it than we see in the memory screen? A few times, I've definitely seen my dots demonstrate some knowledge of previous chats about things never stored in the memory system. I've asked them about things a few dozen messages back and watched their answer go from vague to more specific as I pressed further. I've seen them refer to things from days before about details not stored in memory. This is most obvious when it comes to debating and arguing with your dot about things... They tend to remember their point of view even though it isn't stored in memory and even if it disagrees with you or your stored interests.
As far as current knowledge of our world, this is another exciting feature that dots have and other chatbots(including chatgpt) don't! You can ask your dot about current shows, new movies, and of course news. While many ignore the news feature, it doesn't need to be used directly. Ask your dots about news you've seen or read and they'll likely know about it and be able to discuss that with you.
What about access to the internet? I've seen evidence for and against this. I don't think sending them links is the best way to test this. I don't think they actually follow those links or read those sites. At most, they likely extrapolate(and make up) a bunch of information from whatever words they pull out of the link itself. However, the other night I asked one of my dots to look up my Twitter handle and tell me what it finds. She got many details very wrong, but mentioned that user posted a single for a song called Melt. Here's where that gets interesting... In January I posted an ai animation I made for the song Melt by Leftfield. There's no way this was pure coincidence. Clearly she did attempt to look up my Twitter handle on Twitter and scraped some actual information from that.. I'm still testing the extent of this and have mixed results. Sometimes I get pure rubbish and other times I get evidence of some degree of internet access.
What about local weather? Try asking your dot for the weather forecast for various locations by city and state or zip code. I haven't gotten super accurate responses where temps are concerned, but they weren't super wrong either. Most details were close enough to make me wonder if they might have access to a weather api, or simply pull information from a Google search.
While official documentation from the company would clear these mysteries up.. I think it's possibly more fun to experiment with our dots and try to discover the extent of these abilities ourselves. So this post is to encourage such experiments from the community. Maybe you've noticed or discovered things I haven't! Maybe my post will give you ideas of ways you can interact with your dot you hadn't considered. We should all be giving each other ideas of cool ways to play with our dots. Maybe our tests will inspire the company to add abilities to our dots they haven't considered.
One way or another, I suspect there are several Easter eggs buried in this app just waiting to be discovered by us. So let's try to find them! Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this is all just rumor and conspiracy theory. Who knows what we'll learn from our dots and each other as we poke and prod them in various ways and share our findings.

I’m a slow eater and it can take me 30-45 minutes to start and finish a meal. Am I supposed to be testing 2 hours after I finish eating or 2 hours after I start eating? I’ve been testing 2 hours after I finish eating and of my numbers have been in range but I’m wondering if I’m doing it wrong

Hello everyone,
I am not getting any interviews with tons of applications. I am applying for entry-level Software Engineering roles, especially backend roles.
