Being an average human being in Wellington in the year of our lord, the universally depressing year of 2023, is a unique existence.
Our capital city, the home to the machinations of politics, of wind and rain and an unusable library and so many shades of black that an ordinary Wellingtonian can determine between a coat of Midnight in May or Winters Darkest Forlorn, is yet home to so many wonderful edible incursions and you, as I, the Average Wellington Office Worker, or for future reference, the AWOW, have no shortage of choice.
However many the options, ultimately there exists the limitation of our hard earned dollar.
Toiling, as you or I do, in the acid mines of life, for those blood dollar rewards from our whip weilding lizard lords, means we should be more discerning toward delicious sustenance and ensure this reaches the ultimate equilibrium of value to deliciousness.
Herein, is this AWOWs picks for the best lunch bang for your buck;
In earnest, a man’s anus is touched at very few times in his life; prostate checkup, special secret time at church, and at Soul Shack on Victoria Street. The spice level of your fried chicken burger begins at a gentle nudge toward friendship with a fiery chum and concludes with a 14 hour throat invocation to Cthulhu as your physical existence begins to degrade and leak, mostly from your rear. $22 dollars with fries, an absolute bargain!
As Heracles laboured through Herculean tasks, so do Wellingtonians labour through tasks Wellingtonian; namely plotting our paths from the train station to avoid the rain (meaning a couple of tactical crossings to and from featherston Street) and justifying our roles at the Ministry of Whatever. No place in Wellington better represents our desire to seek solace from the shitty story of our lives than Fishermans Plate on Bond Street.
Number 24, rare beef Pho. This is all you need to know. People undergo vomitus ayahuasca ceremonies to attempt to seek enlightenment and become one with their spirit, but all they need is that first slurp of Number 24.
The spirit, crushed by the sickening awareness of our insignificance in a city of darkening greys, of bus delays and rising parking prices, of poorly insulated homes and rising rents, is renewed with this slurp; a life giving liquor. $17, an absolute must.

I get that we all paid $90-100 already, and that's solidly in the buy-to-play price range. There are still benefits of adding an OPTIONAL monthly subscription ($15-25 a month) on top of this.
Subscription based players could have priority access to the servers as well as a queue bypass during peak hours. During peak hours and high loads the non-subscription based players could be moved to lower priority servers or temporarily logged out to make room for subscription players.
Some food for thought. Hail Lilith!

So in lieu of Reddit's recent API changes, it seems people will want to have ways to dump their data and move elsewhere if the announced pricing plan isn't adjusted. Since I wanted to dump my own Reddit messages, I came up with a script that makes this possible.
Reddit's new chat infrastructure is based on Matrix, allowing us to use standard Matrix clients to access the message history.
As I used Golang for this, I used the Mautrix client, and came up with the following:

func FetchMessages(client *mautrix.Client, roomID id.RoomID, callback func(messages []*event.Event)) error { r, err := client.CreateFilter(mautrix.NewDefaultSyncer().FilterJSON) if err != nil { return err } resp, err := client.SyncRequest(0, "", r.FilterID, true, event.PresenceOnline, context.TODO()) if err != nil { return err } var room *mautrix.SyncJoinedRoom for id, r := range resp.Rooms.Join { if id == roomID { room = r break } } var messages []*event.Event for _, m := range room.Timeline.Events { if m.Type == event.EventMessage { messages = append(messages, m) } } callback(messages) end := room.Timeline.PrevBatch for { if end == "" { break } var messages []*event.Event msgs, err := client.Messages(roomID, end, "", mautrix.DirectionBackward, &mautrix.FilterPart{}, 100) if err != nil { log.Fatalf(err.Error()) } messages = append(messages, msgs.Chunk...) callback(messages) end = msgs.End if len(messages) == 0 { continue } } return nil } 

This method will fetch all the messages from a given room ID, and call the callback() function in batches. From there you can use the events to dump as JSON, store in a DB, or anything else.
To create the Mautrix client and roomID argument, the following snippet can be used:

client, err := mautrix.NewClient("https://matrix.redditspace.com/", id.NewUserID("t2_", "reddit.com"), "") 

To fill out the above variables, you'll need to use your browser's network tab to inspect requests and get the IDs and access token. For that head to Reddit's chat at https://chat.reddit.com and reload the window with the network tab open.
User ID
Your user ID is visible in the request to https://matrix.redditspace.com/_matrix/client/r0/login. It will be part of the response as user_id.
Room ID
The room ID will be part of the URL when you select a chat room. Simply copy the entire path after https://chat.reddit.com/room and URL decode it.
Access Token
Your access token will be included in all requests after the login. I used the request to /filter and copy the value from the Authorization header without "Bearer ".
Now, depending on what you want to do with the messages you'll want to write your own parsing and mapping logic, as well as saving, but a fairly straightforward main() method to save all the messages in JSON can look like this:

package main type Message struct { Source string `bson:"source"` ChatID string `bson:"chat_id"` Author string `bson:"author"` Timestamp time.Time `bson:"timestamp"` SourceID string `bson:"source_id"` Body string `bson:"body"` Attachments []string `bson:"attachments"` } func parseMsg(message *event.Event, roomId id.RoomID) *model.Message { ts := time.Unix(message.Timestamp, 0) msg := &model.Message{ Source: "reddit", ChatID: roomId.String(), Author: message.Sender.String(), Timestamp: ts, SourceID: message.ID.String(), } switch message.Content.Raw["msgtype"] { case "m.text": if message.Content.Raw["body"] == nil { fmt.Println("Empty message body:", message.Content.Raw) return nil } else { msg.Body = message.Content.Raw["body"].(string) } case "m.image": msg.Attachments = []string{ message.Content.Raw["url"].(string), } case nil: if message.Content.Raw["m.relates_to"] != nil && message.Content.Raw["m.relates_to"].(map[string]interface{})["rel_type"] == "com.reddit.potentially_toxic" { } else { fmt.Println("No message type:", message.Content.Raw) } return nil default: fmt.Println("Unknown message type:", message.Content.Raw) } return msg } func main() { var allMessages []*Message err = reddit.FetchMessages(client, roomId, func(messages []*event.Event) { for _, msg := range messages { m := parseMsg(msg, roomId) if m == nil { continue } messages = append(messages, m) } } if err != nil { log.Fatalf(err.Error()) } file, _ := json.MarshalIndent(allMessages, "", " ") _ = os.WriteFile("events.json", file, 0644) } 

Happy dumping!

my pc randomly gets stuck at VGA in EZ-Debug. I have to restart my PC several times until it turns off and gets me a display.
I do hear the logon sound when the light is still on though. I have tried reseating RAM, GPU, power cables and everything. Also cleared CMOS (BIOS reset) but still nothing works.
Do note, that it's random. once i get a display on monitor, it won't cause a problem even after several restarts, but when it's turned off for like 12-15 hours, the same problem occurs again.
my PC Specs : msi a650gf gold modular psu zotac rtx 3080ti ryzen 5 3600 xpg 16gb ddr4 ram aorus b450 mobo 500 gb m.2
PS. 1. Monitor is not the problem. 2. I tried replacing the cables. 3. Processor doesn't come with built-in graphics so mobo HDMI port won't work.

My ex and I already have a legal separation agreement, he wants to give me money to sign off on marital assets and to sign a new agreement. We were married for 34+ years and wants to have me sign off in exchange for $2,500$ Can I take the money and not sign? is this a bribe?

It's been awhile since I played this so this post is quite delayed, but I'm here now with my deeper dive into setting the Golden Vault adventures in Wildemount.
Anthology Conversion (original post)
I'll be covering the following sections — Location, Lore, Experience, Future, and Resources — for the 1st-level adventure, The Murkmire Malevolence.
​

“You’ve got to steal the Murkmire Stone and bring it back so I can save the city!”

Location

I like the Varkenbluff Museum of Natural History being in a big city — it makes sense for them to then have the resources available to magic-ward the building in the various ways we see in the adventure. A smaller city could have such a museum, but a large or small town definitely not.
For examples of such cities, I recommend Rexxentrum, Zadash, Nicodranas, Port Damali, Rosohna, or Uthodurn.
My personal preference, as well as where I set this the two times I ran it, is Rexxentrum. I just like how having it in the Empire opens up the possibility of tying Cerberus Assembly stuff into it, including Dr. Dannell's involvement and the museum's arcane traps and workings.

Lore

With that in mind, this section isn't necessary, but if you're looking to give some flavor to the adventure to make it feel more immersed in the world, as opposed to just a drop-in module, then there's a lot to work with.
Dr. Cassee Dannell, first of all, could be an archaeologist who works for the Soltryce Academy, Hall of Erudition, or the Marble Tomes Conservatory, both being arcane universities. I would say the Cobalt Soul Archives don't work in this case since they're not as much an arcane-focused organization.
Curator Alda Arkin could just be a freelance fence working independently, but she could also be a Myriad fence, using the museum as her cover.
If you're not using the Golden Vault as your group's patron, mages who're interested in the Murkmire Stone — such as Doolan Tversky, Yussa Errenis, Vess deRogna, or Essek Thelyss — could either be hiring the party to grab the stone for them or could be the ones funding the stone's safekeeping for the gala... and then perhaps Alda sneaks it away after the gala to be delivered directly to them. Who knows!

Experience

I ran this adventure twice with two different groups. It was pretty straightforward, hence why this post is on the shorter end compared to my other conversion posts. A lot of the additions I made were simply flavor ones, having the PCs know certain NPCs already or being familiar with the museum using the given hooks or expanding on an NPC's written personality to include a brief backstory that helped make them feel less one-dimensional (especially for an adventure that has so many named NPCs).
The two groups I ran were for a oneshot with 5 players and for an anthology series side campaign with 2 players. Both were set in Rexxentrum with the same NPCs quirks and backstories.
The oneshot group was first, so I learned from all of my mistakes with them. Party was warlock, monk, Draconic sorcerer, artificer, and rogue.
I had had their meeting with Dannell in the morning, as the book said, but since the gala was at night, they took that as an opportunity to go around the museum during business hours (the Gemstone Wing was, of course, closed and cordoned off). That let them get the layout of the museum before the gala, as opposed to having to attend the gala and plan at the same time.
Hilariously, the warlock kept trying to get in with the guards as a new hire but wouldn't back down even when the guards told her that Alda hired guards directly herself, so there was no such "job posting" asking for new hires. This almost busted their recon period since Alda got suspicious when one of the guards came to her office saying that the warlock was claiming to be a family friend, too, but eventually Alda got busy and ignored this after telling the guards to shoo the warlock off.
The party left themselves an escape rope hanging from the skylight (the rogue had climbed the building from the outside during the recon portion) and then hid in the bathrooms or the supply closets after the gala.
I accidentally skipped over the part where the animatronic doesn't attack anyone and just jumps downstairs to wreak havoc. Sureth died in this oneshot because she was standing 5 feet away from the animatronic when the artificer activated it from the other side then quickly backed up. The animatronic crit on her, but she got revived at the end of the story by the Golden Vault cleaning things up.
The warlock also was knocked unconscious because (since I hadn't sent the animatronic downstairs and the party was in hiding watching Maryam and the guards fight it) she fled downstairs to create a distraction, and the guards down there knocked her out. She was arrested but I had their Golden Vault handler come by and talk her free.
On the bright side, the artificer did end up in a relationship with Dr. Dannell, who he came into the adventure having an established crush on, so that was cute.
In the wrap-up, we established that the party convinced Dannell to quit her association with the Soltryce Academy and go do research and similar work for the Golden Vault. The museum was shut down for investigation by the Cerberus Assembly and the Crown, and its future of ever being open again was put into question because of the havoc that'd been caused by the animatronic killing Sureth.
In terms of runtime, that group did 6 hours with 1 hour debrief, 3 hours prep, and 2 hours heist/combat.
The anthology group was second and only had two players, so I extra scaled everything down (removed half HP from everything). Part was Clockwork Soul sorcerer and rogue.
Same thing happened with the "early meeting" and "late gala" prep time — they wanted to go in during business hours to recon because there was still a whole day to kill. I've been recommended that, perhaps, the DM should skip from the meeting to the gala immediately, but I think that players might still say "hey, we had all of those hours to kill, we could've been doing recon then, too". In that case, maybe it'd be for the best that Dannell meets with them shortly before the gala so that there's no time to really do separate recon.
The sorcerer and rogue pretended to be on a date, and since this is an anthology connected to my campaign, we had a lot more stuff to work with. (The players were controlling NPCs-turned-PC-sheets that they've met before and are allies with in the campaign; the anthology is basically "what were these characters doing while y'all were not with them?") My favorite part being that they were both nobles, so I played off the idea that everyone knew them... which then made them have to work around the fact that people knew their faces so they couldn't be too suspicious since it'd be too easy to catch and identify them.
The rogue was the eldest child of Watchmaster Brunda Gleshin (and the black sheep of their family), so I had them know Maryam as a former Watch captain who'd retired to take on private museum security (it pays better than law enforcement). There was a lot of snarky back and forth between the rogue and Maryam because of that once they had gone up to scope out the second floor. This was my favorite interaction:

Micha: We'll leave you alone, but nice to see that you've taken up this... position.
Maryam: Mhm.
Micha: I'm sure my mother is very proud of you.
Maryam: Can't say the same for you.

They also set the skylight up for later, mingle at the gala (Watchmaster Gleshin is there, much to the rogue's chagrin), and then make their leave. But they don't actually leave and go in through the basement, fight the mimic, go into the records room and Alda's office and kill Marigold. Then they leave again and head up to the attic to wait for the museum's closing.
They'd previously tried to talk up some guards to see who they could maybe flip during the heist... but then when it comes time for them to come out of hiding, both of them discover that the guards have all changed positions so now the guard set-up they'd lifted is useless.
(This was fully because they chose to come in early and Maryam saw the rogue walking around during normal business hours, so she went and tipped off Alda right before the gala. I thought it was a nice touch since the rogue was acting real cocky and it further emphasized their bad reputation for being a troublemaker around town, that any Crownsguard who knew them would automatically think they're up to something.)
At the end of the day, both heists were successful, although the oneshot group definitely had more chaos going on, likely due to the number of players and the fact that I'd missed the line about the animatronic not causing real people damage. The oneshot group swapped the stone for the replica while the anthology players swapped the stone for a sack of ten pounds of adventuring gear... because it was "more fun". When I pointed out that that meant they'd probably know that the sorcerer and rogue did it since they were the only adventurers casing the museum earlier in the day, the rogue replied, "Yeah. We want them to know! They can't catch us. With what proof?"
I also found that Cassee was popular to flirt with. I mean, she's a dorky archaeologist, so I guess that was written in the stars already. In the oneshot group, as aforementioned, the artificer ended up dating her, but in the anthology group, the rogue tried to flirt with her and ask her out for dinner... but she declined because they were way too boisterous and high energy for her. (In comparison, the artificer from the other group was also shy and quiet like her, so she appreciated that... and his starting hook was knowing Dannell through academics, so there was that.)

Future

There's already future hooks discussed in this adventure, so I won't repeat those. However, I think because of the huge amount of named NPCs in this adventure, there's a lot of opportunities to reuse them later on, especially if you're running the adventures as connected like I am for my anthology group. Could be a nice callback.
The museum guards, if the museum is shut down, could reappear as guards in a later adventure, showing that they had to find somewhere else to work.
Alda Arkin, if her fencing was never discovered, could rise up to do bigger work and be involved with a later heist, such as Masterpiece Imbroglio.
Even Dr. Dannell herself could reappear in a later adventure that has to do with arcane magic or weird creatures (perhaps Markos Delphi has correspondence with her about eldritch horrors?).
I'm currently playing with the idea that Franceena, who the anthology rogue gave the business card of their dueling academy they run to, could have gone and taken those dueling lessons and become stronger over time, reappearing in a mid tier adventure (Vidorant's Vault?) as part of a rival crew. I haven't implemented it yet since I'm also considering using the Thieves' Gallery from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves as a rival crew, but who knows! It's fun to think about, regardless.
As a side note, I also love that Dr. Horthnar Stonecrusher shares a name with Torgja Stonecrusher of the prewritten rival crew. It could be that it's just a happenstance of having the same name, especially since they're both dwarves... but I think it could also be fun if they're related — maybe he's her father and he mentions at the gala how his daughter has run off with some 'petty thieves'? And then she appears later as part of the rival crew!
In addition, I didn't get to implement this because I thought of it after I'd run both games, but I had the idea of dropping foreshadowing objects in the displays to hint at later Golden Vault adventures (similar to the museum episode of Black Mirror, iykyk). These obviously can't all be the MacGuffins of the adventures because those MacGuffins have to be somewhere, but maybe they could be allusions to characters the players will encounter or locations they'll go to.

• a casino chip from Afterlife for Stygian Gambit
• a plaque about the Celestial Codex or the actual book itself (donated by Vasil and later stolen by Markos after the events of this adventure because so many of the guards quit and he was able to sneak in easier) for Reach for the Stars
• tools that were used to build Revel's End, a painting of Revel's End, or the needles/original tech that was later used to make Prisoner 13's magic tattoos for Prisoner 13
• a bunch of automatons or clockwork trinkets for Tockworth's Clockworks
• a replica of the Constantori's Portrait for Masterpiece Imbroglio
• an exhibit of things donated by Froderic Dartwild before his death for Axe from the Grave
• an exhibit of a master thief whose identity is unknown and their many exploits, including stealing the ruby diadem of the Goldenbeard family for Vidorant's Vault
• a mural about Xeluan and his friends' heroic deeds for Shard of the Accursed
• an art installation of glasswork from Ghalasine for Heart of Ashes
• a model automated train replica of the Concordant Express that educates viewers on how the Outer Planes work OR plaques talking about all of the cases Ignatius Inkblot has solved for Affair on the Concordant Express
• a plaque talking about a Shard Solitaire, the many rumored variants of it, and how Varkenbluff has tried to acquire one from a famous adventurer, Zorhanna Adulare, but she hasn't been willing to part with it for Party at Paliset Hall
• and finally an exhibit/plaque/mural about the efreeti tyrant Vrakir, his long reign of terror destroying cities, and his unknown whereabouts now for Fire and Darkness

Conclusion

My rating for this adventure doesn't change from my original conversion post of the book.
​

8/10 - simple, effective, and meets all of the three pillars. The anthologies usually don't miss with the 1st-level adventures. I docked points simply because the flavor and setting was a bit predictable, but it makes sense to start an anthology with a classic museum heist.

​
Overall, it's still very fun, and both groups loved it when I ran it for how 'classic heist' it feels. It's got a lot of potential for future hooks

I have other stuff which affects me, sadly. Its totally fine if you too, as this way we can maybe even understand and relate better to each other. :-) so yeah also hit me up if youre mentally ill ..♡
Ummm. Idk what else. Hobbys. I dont really have any much.. id say i like watching some youtube, listening to music, and talking to (rn non-existing) people... so yeah hit me up so we can change that :D
Mu humour is dry and dark so yeah. Mostly dry i feel :D
Also yeah im looking, once again, for people who speak and can hold good conversations or speak in long texts. yeah tx

I have a 12-month lease transfer available at the Bixby. It is a 5x5 floorplan and will be available in August. Rent is $900 per month. My son attends KSU but has other plans for housing. Please email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) if you are interested.

You have seen the photos. On social media, matchday programmes, Wrexham AFC’s website. And you may have heard the name: Rob Stead (stead.photos on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).
In the enviable position of being one of the club’s photographers, Rob has a keen eye for capturing iconic moments and a flair for epic compositions, along with an easily recognizable style that stands out from the more customary sports photography.
Small details or bigger picture, Rob definitely has the propensity to be the right man at the right time in the right place—so, I reached out to him with a bunch of questions and he graciously sent me back a bunch of answers.
​
Tell us a little about yourself.
I'm 34 years old (about to turn 35) and currently reside in the beautiful North Wales with my young family. I'm a relatively new supporter of Wrexham AFC starting around 2017 when I joined the media team at the club. The first game I attended was a 2-1 victory over Boreham Wood, which of course is the same opponent that Wrexham played to secure promotion to the Football League. I am completely self-taught in photography but completed a media course in college and a performing arts degree at university.
​
When did you start taking photos and how did photography become your medium? What inspired you to pick up a camera?
I've had an interest in media ever since I can remember, but I took it seriously when studying in college and university.
​
What was some of your earlier work like?
My earlier work is a bit of everything (you can see if you scroll back through my Instagram page). I wanted to try out as many genres as possibly to see what I enjoyed most.
​
Who or what have been the most prominent artistic influences so far?
I really enjoy reportage/documentary photography. I'm not keen on posing photos, I prefer to stand back and take a natural shot of the moment.
​
How did you become a club photographer?
I originally applied to be a volunteer television camera operator at the club back in 2017 and had a fun few years doing that. When the club brought in a dedicated streaming team I decided to move pitchside to cover matchday photography. Previous to this I also was on hand to take photos when new players signed or new kits were released.
​
What have been so far the most challenging aspects of being a sport photographer?
Getting the shot! Especially if you are working on behalf of any newspapers. You don't want to be missing a crucial shot/goal celebration.
​
How do you capture the pace of the game? Having to move, follow the action and take photos all at the same time seems quite tricky.
I have a set location to shoot from at the matches and then swap to the other end at half-time. It's all about practice. You have 90 minutes to get a few decent shots so you have plenty of time to practice.
​
On match day, how your day looks like? What is the process? How many hours do you do?
For a 3pm kick-off match I typically arrive at the stadium at around 1pm to sign in. I then take in the surroundings of the stadium and await the players arriving to take some shots. I then cover the warm-ups and the players coming out of the tunnel. I then move to my position to shoot the first and second half. I send the photos that I take throughout the match to the admin team. I then leave after the post match interviews have been completed.
​
Can you tell us about your experience on April 22nd? How was before, during and after? Did you feel pressured to capture more moments than usual? How was it in the changing room? How was to hold the cup?
April 22nd won't be forgotten in a hurry! I was pretty confident the team could get over the line and clinch promotion as they have been so strong playing at home in front of the 10,000 strong. When the third Wrexham goal went in, we could relax a little bit before the final whistle which is not something a Wrexham fan can usually do! Following the final whistle, chaos ensued, but in a celebratory way. I managed to squeeze towards the tunnel area to get as many shots as possible before entering into the changing room. It was such a privilege to be in there observing and capturing the moments that followed (and rather wet!) - The trophy was heavier than expected, but such an honour after so many years of being so close.
​
Related to the previous question, did your experience as a club photographer change your view as a fan? And, on the opposite side of the coin, is it hard to get the perfect shot during a match because you are also excited as a fan? Or do you find yourself being somewhat more detached from the game (or focused in a different way)?
Unfortunately I have to remain somewhat detached from the game as it's going on otherwise I would probably miss the shot! Often I don't know if a shot has gone into the goal until I hear the crowd roar!
​
Do you edit photos during the game?
I do edit during the game as I need to get the photos up to the club admin team as soon as possible.
​
What are some of the most important skills for a sport photographer?
Being able to juggle many plates at once and being able to react at a moment's notice is key. Having an understanding of the sport is useful too as you can preempt the next play for example.
​
You have a very distinctive style—cinematographic, epic, dramatic and yet utterly intimate. You capture very public moments at the cusp of raw human emotion. How do you achieve that?
I couldn't possibly reveal my secrets! 😆
​
You have a family of your own. How do you balance your personal life with the demands of your position?
My family is very supportive of my position at the club and I can't thank them enough for the sacrifices they make for me to be able to attend regularly.
​
Have you ever had any accidents during a game?
Nothing to note as of yet! 🤞
​
Who is your favorite Wrexham AFC player?
It's a tough choice, but I would probably say Luke Young and the former player, Paul Rutherford. Both would give their all for the club and their work ethic is up there with the best I've seen.
​
What’s your equipment?
I currently use a Canon 1D X with either a 70-200mm or 17-40mm lens. I tend to edit my photos on my phone to begin with as it's a quicker way of submitting the photos to the club.

I'm so godamn miserable
But I keep having really good dreams at least once a week. Fun dreams, where I have friends, or I'm reunited with people who I love who left my life
And then I wake up from these happy dreams and its almost like whiplash how miserable I feel when I realize they weren't real.
I wake up from these nice dreams and the first thing I see is my room, completely trashed and my body feeling like garbage from not caring for it. And then I remember the way things really are. I'm not close to anyone. The person I keep dreaming about isn't going to return to my life.
Do I want these dreams to stop? I am unsure. It's nicer than nightmares, but it feels like my brain is taunting me with a life I cannot have. In the dream I just woke up from, I think I was a kid in that one. And the adults were really nice to me, and I had lots of friends.

Hello. You may not have heard of this group, The East Coast Cannabis Substitution Program. Basically what they do, is make care packages, each with a "roll your own joint" kit, and various edibles, and usually something like a sandwich that is also infused with cannabis. They give them out every Monday morning, at the old St Patrick’s Alexandria Jr high school downtown, at about 9am I think. They give out about 200 care packs every Monday, so this program helps about 200 people every week. It helps them stay off harder drugs, it helps them deal with the crap that comes from living on the street.
This program is in desperate need of help. Chris Backer started doing this 3 1/2 years ago, he was inspired by others who were doing it elsewhere. To run this program, it costs between $500 to $700 per month. He also needs volunteers. Donations of all kinds, money, ingredients, cannabis, whatever you can spare. Even a box of sandwich baggies is helpful.
You can reach out to Chris on Facebook, here is the page for the program:

I've got a candidate for a GA rental who is displaced from their family home due to electrical fire. Their insurance is working with CRS (crsth.com) to find them a new place to live while the old one is repaired/rebuilt.
In this case they're seeking a 12 month lease and are willing to pay a premium above list rent since I know this won't be a long term tenant.
I'm satisfied with the numbers and the due diligence on the tenant themselves. My research on CRS suggests this is a fairly standard business model and a legit company. The tenant will sign the lease. Payment will arrive directly from CRS via check.
What documentation should I expect or require from CRS to spell out the relationship and expectations?
Thanks!
