2023.03.20 21:18 the_dionysian_1 Should I change my Vendor Selling Strategy?
I'm fairly new to the game (got it when it was PS+ monthly in Jan). I'm between lvl 100-200 right now & my vendor is full. It's mostly plans, as this was something I wanted the most when I was playing early on in the game. I'm noticing I'm not selling much as often as I used to. Would you say it's not worth it to try to sell plans? To be clear, most of my plans are CAMP item plans with a few weapon/armor ones peppered in, plus a bunch of recipes.
So far, what I've noticed sells the most is Ammo & treasure maps. Being that I'm getting close to lvl 200 now, should I just drop a lot of my plans on the ground & let them disappear so I can fill my vendor with other things? I am noticing that I get a lot of legendary items that I don't want & I'm always running the vendor out of legendary skrip every day.

2023.03.20 21:14 pharmer25 Is buying a house with a parent ever a good idea?
My parents separated about 4 years ago and subsequently sold the house in 2021. Since the sale I’ve been living with her and her new boyfriend (we’ve been renting, haemorrhaging money in some respects), but she is frustrated with cohabiting with him and wants more space - with our lease up in a few months, it’s time to think about it.
She suggested that “we work hard and buy a house together”, on paper it makes sense as she won’t be able to get a mortgage at her age (54) and I (25) don’t have the capital for a deposit. However I’m having major reservations about going down this path. First and foremost, we don’t share the same goals - she’s planning towards retirement whereas I’m looking at establishing my career, having dealt with a lot of mental health issues and bouncing around a couple dead-end jobs after graduating from university. Secondly I’m concerned by her approach with money, spending somewhat frivolously on luxuries we don’t really need, because she is convinced her MLM-type crypto investments (look up Cashfx and Hyperfund) will come good, based off her trust in a friend who quit his job off the back of his success with it. Last but not least, I would like to have more independence and feel more control over my life, having felt very isolated and alone living at home for what feels like an eternity. I’ve lived with flatmates in the past as a student so I think I’d manage it fine.
I know I am in no position to buy a house, not even close, without significant help. What I’m wondering is, if it would be a mistake to not take the opportunity to get on the housing ladder as soon as possible rather than maybe 5-10 years from now, IF I meet a partner. What’s for sure is that it’s important to have this conversation with my mum sooner rather than later. Has anyone bought a house with a parent before? Is it likely to turn out well?

2023.03.20 21:11 AustralianChrono Chronologica's Drag Race Season 2: Episode 12- Grand Finale
| “Welcome to the GRAND FINALE OF CHRONOLOGICA’S DRAG RACE, SEASON 2!” Rachelle Mirage yells. ~ https://preview.redd.it/gxj1mf6nbyoa1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=049b7702d97370f3a5a666df96f4f0c5d81f0d15 “Let’s see them STRUT!” The racers wait to get onto the stage. “Hola, it's Drag Princesita!” Drag Princesita walks out in huge platform boots, dressed as a wicked witch, with long flowing black hair and a demonic face as she cackles. “Glistening beauty, the shining Black Diamond!” Black Diamond arrives in a dress covered in black diamond stones, the dress pulsating as if the diamonds themselves are breathing in and out. “The Hurricane of Drag, Queen Quincy!” Queen Quincy drops to the floor in a split, as the crowd cheers, wearing a flowy white gown with massive ruffled sleeves and gorgeous long hair. “Is that a monster? IT’S Kraven!” The crowd cheers as Kraven walks out in a shirt that says ‘Disqualified’, ripped fishnets and a bald head, with a cackling face and a dark eyeshadow to boot. “She’s Blooming! It is The Mother Delilah!” The Mother Delilah walks out in a bright yellow pantsuit, a big grin on her face, with a massive purse, that walks first before her. She’s smiling, she’s happy and she is ready to slay. “BOOBS!” Maude "The Tits" Matron arrives with her massive breastplate, jiggling her way to the front with a huge grin in a gorgeous dress that showcases a tight body, wearing red latex with a paddle in her hand. “Watch out for that Rhonda Bout!” Rhonda Bout looks the most glamorous she’s ever looked in a long pink dress, a shining blonde updo and jewels all over her body, her face beaming and her eyes fixed on the crowd. “What’s your sign? Are you a Jemma Nye?” In a puffy white gown, Jemma Nye looks like a literal wedding cake, dressed in all white, glamorously shining as she spins through the stage. “Are you hungry for Blondie A La Mode?” Looking shockingly similar to Rachelle Mirage, Blondie has become the raven haired, big breasted Rachelle in a new perfect recreation version of her. “She’s back, back, back again! It’s Mackenzie Jacobs!” Mackenzie cackles entering the stage in a dress made to look like a splash of water, serving a fashionable wet look as she makes her way to the end- before smirking and yelling “YES, I MADE THIS!” as everyone cheers. “And say hello to our TOP 3! Mother Destiny Dandridge, Kaneq and Royal Virtue!” The top three strut out, hand in hand wearing black. Royal arrives in a sleek black maxi dress with a leg cutout, Destiny in a grand taffeta dress dressed in black and a veil, and Kaneq in beaded, beautiful black mini dress with fringe sleeves. “And our Queen, CHRONOLOGICA!” Chronological arrives wearing a shirt with Poppers on it, a mohawk, massive black boots and a cackle on her face as Kraven snaps her fingers. Welcome to the Grand Finale of Drag Race, Season 2. I can’t BELIEVE it’s time to crown our second winner! And… I can announce this. We’re about to start filming our THIRD season! Everyone cheers. But first, it’s time to celebrate this season, with our crowning and a TALENT SHOW! First, I’ll be speaking to each of the top 3, who will then be proceeding to give their best shot in an original TALENT SHOW. Then, based on the performances, we will then proceed to a final 2- with a lip sync FOR THE CROWN! The crowd roars. First up, our British legend. It’s Royal Virtue! ~ Royal, welcome to the final 3. How are you feeling tonight? “Charmed.” Royal grins. “I’m quite pleased to be here. It just feels… charmed to me, ultimately.” What will your talent show be? “I am a vogue superstar. I am showing what I was born to do- perform in various vogue categories… including boy drag, tonight.” Royal looks excitedly. Ooooh… “Yes.” Royal winks. “It’s a little different.” Who’s rooting for you? “My house!” Royal turns. “My drag family are all here, as is my biological family, with my sisters.” Royal, what would it mean for you to take the crown tonight? “Everything.” Royal says. “I feel blessed to have come here, grown as an artist, showcase my abilities… I mean, Royal with a crown sounds fitting, doesn’t it?” Royal smirks. ~ Kaneq. How are you going tonight? “I am proud.” Kaneq grins. “I’m excited, and I feel ready to really give my all tonight.” Kaneq says. “So… great.” What will your talent show be? “Tonight I will be doing an Indigenous Drum Dance. I am a dancer, it’s at my core. To end it proudly native feels correct here.” Kaneq nods. Who’s rooting for you? “My family. They have been excited to see me really prosper in this season, and this is their first time travelling away from Canada to be here for me.” Kaneq looks touched. Kaneq, what would it mean for you to take the crown tonight? “This is not just a win for me. But it is a win for a meaningful moment, to showcase drag is so much more. I’d be proud to take the crown to showcase the world a strong, Queer native Drag Artist who can change the world.” ~ Mother Destiny Dandridge. You are top 3 on the biggest drag stage in the world. How does it feel tonight? “Tremendous.” Destiny smiles. “I am blessed to be here, 50 damn years old, giving the world… me.” What will your talent show be? “I am a singer. Tonight, I am singing Gospel- which I haven’t sung in… maybe 35 years. In full drag, proudly in front of the world.” Destiny looks up. “It feels touching to do.” Who’s rooting for you? “My loves. My drag family, including the marvellous WHITNEY Dandridge!” Destiny gestures over as Whitney waves. Vitória, what would it mean for you to take the crown tonight? “I will be blessed, with and without this crown. Because I feel like my message has been to spread love. But if I take this crown- it’s about legacy. Leading, being a figurehead for the world to show love, light… that is my Destiny.” Destiny grins. ~ Now, it’s time. Our Top 3 will now compete in the Talent Show to determine our FINAL two of the season. And then… It’s time for you, the crowd… to vote. Let’s do it. Who will make it to the end? Let’s watch the show. ~ Stats Voting Spreadsheet submitted by AustralianChrono to RPDRfantasyseason [link] [comments] |

2023.03.20 21:02 ToWorldsUnknown Doing Fitness with Current Circumstances
There is a brief mention of eating disorders in here, just as a head's up.
I am a 20 year old woman who currently hates her body. I am so overweight that I can't look at myself in the mirror. I want to change this, but there are a couple of issues.
First, I am a full-time college student, so I am on campus for a majority of the day. It also leaves me drop-dead exhausted by the time I get home.
Second, I have severe anxiety. I can't work out because it feels like people are staring at me, even in my apartment's more private gym. I get anxious just thinking about going to the gym.
Third, I have a binge eating disorder and hypothyroidism. You can imagine why this would prevent me from losing weight.
I tried turning to a chat service my college's counseling services provide for help, and that did absolutely nothing. So, I figured this would be the next best place to look for advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2023.03.20 21:00 MasalaBoi [review] The Butterfly Effect - Sunny Khan Durrani
I had a heard a lot about this album and i already knew about Sunny Khan Durrani from La Haasil (which i consider a top 10 level dhh song) and Taaray. So while working on my practical file, i played all 3 of his albums in order. Now i didn't really fw Khabbarnaama apart from a couple of tracks and couple of parts here and there. Aetizaaz was a major step up and i really liked it but what blew me away was The Butterfly Effect which made me want to write about it coz apart from a comment or two on the best albums posts, no one was really talking about it.
The
cover art shows a butterfly, obviously referencing the butterfly effect the album's theme is based on. The monochrome look matches with the dark tones of the album, similar to his previous album Aetizaaz. In the background, i ain't sure if that's a flower or broken glass. I used to think it's glass but ab lagraha hai it might be a flower.
The intro track,
Distant Storms, talks about the butterfly effect, perhaps to fill in those who don't know what it is. The production and his voice sets a dark tone which continues in the rest of the album. The storm and thunder in the background really makes the listener feel like they are in for a dark ride. Really good intro.
Chup Raho 's hook is pretty catchy and the first verse talking about the old generation and figures of authority looking down and trying to dominate the youth is pretty solid. But what absolutely blew me the fuck away was the second part about the teacher blackmailing the girl. I had to stop whatever i was doing because i was absolutely stunned. The loud rough voice of the verse followed by the almost polite tone towards the chorus sent shivers down my spine. This song was the one which made me think that this might really be an actual GOATed album.
Kalakaar aur Dunya is easily one of the best storytelling songs in dhh. The song talks about (from what i understood that is, coz most of the albums in dhh don't have their lyrics released) Sunny and another guy in his class who shared a similar work in school (related to singing or poetry ig?) and though the other guy was better in studying and stuff, skd won some sort of award which the other guy felt that he deserved. After a fight between the two, a few months later, the guy scored less (i am not sure if i heard it right) leading to his parents's divorce and him committing suicide. The song talks about how the world is always against an artist and the pressure they face. Recently, my friend's friend's cousin comitted suicide because of his father's death and the pressure from MBBS. I think i heard this album the next day after that incident, which made me feel the end of the story much more intensely. A great track, arguably on par with storytelling tracks like Balli aur mein though i would still put the latter above.
Mandir Masjid talks about the animosity between the two religions and countries. I feel that the song gives a strong message about how in this obsession to protect our own religion, people from both the sides have forgotten that the other side is still human. Strip away a person's religion and country, and we are not so different really, and that's one of the parts i really liked about the song. I have seen firsthand extremists from both sides and the rising sentiments against each other. The rich and powerful people throw us against eachother while they profit on the blood of the middle class and poor. The song touches on all these topics in an excellent way. Though the end gets a bit repetitive but it's not that major of an issue, perhaps a nitpick. A wonderful song which if people actually listen to, it might lead to a brighter future for this country.
Koi Gila Nahi is a track i have listened to many times before i actually listened to the album. This song has the most replay value from all the songs in this album. SKD talks about how others around him are running for fame and money, sacrificing their art. He talks about the pressures on him and the struggles he goes through inside his own head. I love the production on this song. Though the other songs might have a better message or lyrics than this, it's still the one i listen to the most.
Pas E Parda means behind the curtains. The song talks about the backstage of the industry, how artists have power over their fans and how despite having thousands of fans, an artist still feels alone when he needs support. The hook is sung by Mooroo, feels somber and deep (i ain't talking about lyrically deep, or the voice. I am bad at explaining stuff but it feels deep, perhaps it's the production), i like it. It's a good song, but perhaps my least favorite excluding the intro and outro. I do feel that it's gonna grow on me, especially the hook which i already like a lot.
The outro,
Anjaam starts with a line by Sunny, where he says that the butterfly has already flapped it's wings, now the storm is inevitable. Maybe he's referencing to his album, but i didnt really get what he's referring to so if someone else did, they can share it. The rest of the song is just beats. The production of this song and album as a whole is excellent, Sunny is a real good producer for sure. This song is mesmerizing af.
The Butterfly Effect is easily one of the best albums in dhh out there. The melancholic tone from start to finish, something he continues on from Aetizaaz, is beautiful. The stories in these songs send chills down the listeners. Sunny Khan Durrani is easily one of the best poets in the game. I am looking forward to his next album. The intro track just dropped today which I'm gonna listen to after writing this review.
The album is underrated af and deserves a lot more views. If even a couple of people check it out after reading this post I'd be glad.

u/SpacePaladin15 's universe.
First fanart Whoo!!!
[Sad Estala eating Mangos] by
AsciiSquid on the discord (Reddit profile
SlimyRage )
Memory transcription subject: Estala, Ex-Krakotl to Venlil Extermination training leader. Date [standardised human time]: January 3rd, 2137 “So what is Earth like?”
Joseph and I lay on our backs, staring up at the clear blue sky above and enjoying such a beautiful day. As I lay nestled in his arm I felt safe, I felt like all the issues in the world didn’t matter right now. Back at home there would be self loathing, hatred, nightmares. But here, right now, they are gone.
“In what way?”
Joseph took a few moments to push a particularly pushy blue flowerbird out of the way as he responded, the avian had been chirping angrily at the audacity of the human who was not currently dispensing food. Based on what Joseph had told me, flowerbirds had actually started to become a problem around the refuge camp. The birds had quickly learned that if you annoyed the “predators” enough, they generally dispensed tasty seeds.
“In any way? It is hot, cold. Marshy, dry? What’s life on Earth like?” I asked.
The nightmares had been getting worse. The self hatred of being a potential predator was nothing compared with the loathing caused by knowing the effect of the choices I had made. Sometimes it was the families of victims I had failed screaming at me, asking why I didn’t save their loved ones. Others I was in Kalsim’s fleet, destroying Earth while Joseph begged for me to stop. All of them left me shaking as I awoke each paw.
“The answer to that is Yes. Based on what I’ve seen, Earth has one of the most varied environments as the Federation tends to homogenise everything. Snow covered vistas, sprawling forests, vast desserts, massive oceans. It’s actually what I was studying, a degree in Ecology [???].”
My translator failed to give meaning to the last word, giving up halfway through an explanation of colonising a new planet to live on. I decided not to ask, as from my experience such questions caused more painful revelations: I had enough of those to deal with as it is.
“This also means the wildlife varies wildly. Each biome has its own specialised species and adaptations to fit into the environment in exciting ways. Species will literally travel thousands miles in order to follow warm weather around the world. Entire forms of life only found and adapted to one single island or section of the world.”
I didn’t get why Joseph seemed to care about my wellbeing. I most definitely didn’t deserve it. I had met him under false pretences, and even now the camera was still recording. I just couldn’t… stop it. Three times I’d attempted to remove the device, being physically unable to do so each time. It was the last desperate connection I had to a world where I wasn’t a monster. A small part of me that wanted so badly to be right, to make everything I did be ok.
Not that it ever would be.
“Human culture and lifestyle are similar. There are over two hundred countries, all of them have their own cultures and way of life. Vast cities that spread up to the sky, small hamlets in the middle of nature. The answer to ‘What is Earth like’ is basically ‘Yes’.”
I had at least found the strength to disable the dead man’s switch. I remembered rushing back as fast I could after falling asleep in the humans calming embrace, only barely triggering the reset in time. I didn’t have to worry about accidentally releasing a video to the world. Now I only had to worry about Joseph finding out about my original intentions.
“What about where you lived, what was that like?” I asked, purposefully pushing my thoughts away, to just enjoy the calm for now. Joseph had suggested meeting here twice as often, every three paws instead of the seven we previously had an unspoken agreement for, an idea I very greatly appreciated. The human had also suggested meeting outside of this clearing, something I wasn’t ready for.
“Well I come from a country called England. It’s an Island, lots of rolling hilly countryside, fields, forests, farmland. Very green. Rather mild as weather on Earth goes, although it does rain a lot. I was studying in London, which is… was. Was a city of old and new, of modern skyscrapers reaching to the sky next to small buildings of wood made half a century ago. Family lives far further north than that though, in the countryside. I’ve got pictures if you want to see.”
Joseph took a moment to fish out his holopad, navigating through the menus before showing me pictures of his life before Venlil prime. Of buildings shining with bright lights, of picturesque countryside that looked like they could come from the Gojid cradle. I felt a bitter sadness that a lot of the places I was being shown didn’t exist anymore because of the federation.
Because of people like you. Eventually the pictures stopped on an image of a large rolling countryside providing the backdrop to four humans. One of them was clearly a younger Joseph. Not that long ago seeing such an image would have initiated a fear response, of worry from seeing so many forward facing eyes. But now… now I just felt numb to the entire thing.
“Is that your family?” I asked, guessing the answer already.
“Yea. That’s Me, Mom, Dad and my older sister Vanessa. Vanessa would love you, always been into birds, parrots especially. There’s a parrot sanctuary nearby that we’d visit every open day, so meeting someone like you would blow her mind.”
I focused on the last figure, who seemed to be covered in strange braces and holding into what looks like some form of crutch. Clearly an injury of some kind from living on the more dangerous Earth.
“Was this Vanessa injured by a wild predator before this picture? A bear perhaps?”
This caused Joseph to giggle slightly before responding.
“No. England is rather safe, it’s not like bear attacks are a regular risk. No Vanny has a long term condition. Myotonic dystrophy. Basically her muscles aren’t strong enough so need some extra help.” Joseph’s tone seemed to darken as he spoke, sadness replacing the excitement of before “It’s why they stayed on Earth. Stronger gravity here, probably not a good mix. I only came because mom convinced me not to give up the opportunity on their behalf.”
I could see the emotions etched into his face: worry, guilt, fear. These sparked my own similar feelings, knowing that in my own small way I had contributed to why the human who was careful with me was in such a state. I didn’t want to ask the next question, but I knew I had to anyway.
“Have you had any news?”
“I should get some soon. With London and Glasgow getting hit, federation forces running around and just the general clusterfuck that is earth, checking on a shelter that’s out in the countryside hasn’t been a high priority. The things are designed to hold people for years, so anyone who got to a shelter has just been bunkering down while everyone else gets control of the chaos.”
Joseph gave a sigh, before perking back up again in almost a forced motion.
“Anyway, enough about that. What’s Nishtal like?”
Bad memories. Pain. Loneliness. Filled with genocidal assholes who would hurt this human for nothing more than just existing. Still I gathered it wasn’t the answer that Joseph was looking for.
“Warmer than here, a lot warmer. Lower gravity as well which makes flying wonderful, soaring for miles on updrafts. Mostly marsh land apart from near the equator, which is this network of hilly rocky canyons”
Nishtal had become a hot topic on the human FederationColdCases site, after Joseph had uploaded the details of my fathers now presumed murder. It being the only exterminator case from Nishtal had caused a lot of interest in solving the case, although most humans had hit a dead end simply due to the lack of access to information on Nishtal: Communications with Venlil prime had been cut months ago.
“While a few groups live in the marshes and hillsides, most of us live in the giant sky cities that line the sky. Massive chunks of rock suspended through antigravity, atop which giant cities of glass and vines lie.”
I did miss it, at least a little bit. I liked Venlil prime, I liked the Venlil, but there was something about the way the sun hit the horizon just right each morning that created a sight just like no other.
“Sounds awesome!” Joseph's enthusiasm dripped from every word. “I know right now it’s not a possibility, but I’d love to visit, I’d love to just see everything the universe has to offer.”
Did Nishtal even still exist? In between the self-destruction of the federation and the Arxur attacks, was there even a Nishtal to go back to? I decided to ignore that question and just think of a potentially happier future.
“Only if I get to visit earth at some point!”
Joseph gave me a scratch on the neck, still grinning from ear to ear in a weirdly adorable way. It was strange considering a predator slightly adorable, but it was hard not to get sucked into his general enthusiasm for life.
“It’s a deal! Once all this stupidity has died down, you show me Nishtal and I’ll show you Earth!”
Against all odds I didn’t have to lie about my next statement, I said it with all the truth and honesty I could muster.
“I’d like that a lot.”

2023.03.20 20:59 pharmer25 Is buying a house with a parent a good idea?
My parents separated about 4 years ago and subsequently sold the house in 2021. Since the sale I’ve been living with her and her new boyfriend (we’ve been renting, haemorrhaging money in some respects), but she is frustrated with cohabiting with him and wants more space - with our lease up in a few months, it’s time to think about it.
She suggested that “we work hard and buy a house together”, on paper it makes sense as she won’t be able to get a mortgage at her age (54) and I (25) don’t have the capital required for a deposit. However I’m having major reservations about going down this path. First and foremost, we don’t share the same goals - she’s planning towards retirement whereas I’m looking at establishing my career, having dealt with a lot of mental health issues and bouncing around a couple dead-end jobs after graduating from university. Secondly I’m concerned by her approach with money, spending somewhat frivolously on luxuries we don’t really need, because she is convinced her MLM-type crypto investments (look up Cashfx and Hyperfund) will come good, based off her trust in a friend who quit his job off the back of his success with it. Last but not least, I would like to have more independence and feel more control over my life, having felt very isolated living at home for what feels like an eternity.
I know I am in no position to buy a house, not even close, without significant help. What I’m wondering is, if it would be a mistake to not take the opportunity to get on the housing ladder as soon as possible rather than maybe 5-10 years from now, IF I meet a partner. What’s for sure is that it’s important to have this conversation with my mum sooner rather than later. Has anyone bought a house with a parent before? Is it likely to turn out well?

2023.03.20 20:57 onionoinoi Help w/ advocating for a diagnosis?
CW: weight mention
Hi guys! I’m new to Reddit and came on here to see if anyone can offer me some insight on getting diagnosed w/ endo. For background: I’m 23 years old and have had painful periods for as long as I can remember. When I was 17 I started taking the Vienva BC pill and had semi normal cycles. My cycles stopped completely on the Mirena IUD, which I got at 19 and had til I was 21. It took nearly 6 months to get my period back, and shortly after that I ended up in the ER w/ severe pelvic pain. I was diagnosed w/ PID and multiple endometriomas after several hours of doctors telling me I was fine, even with an absurdly high WBC. My periods now occur for 1-3 days each month, but are not “regular” per say. I experience severe pelvic pain and bloating/trapped gas each month even when I’m not menstruating. The GI issues have disrupted all aspects of my life greatly, to the point where I can’t eat regularly and have to use laxatives daily to have a bowel movement. I do have pain with intercourse as well. I have also had a lot of hormonal acne, hot flashes/sweating/body odor, and headaches. When I had the IUD, I gained a significant amount of weight in a short period of time (all of which I have since lost) however my prior OBGYN tried to tell me that these issues would go away with weight loss- clearly they haven’t. I am nearing the point of being underweight due to the GI issues. My mental state has also worsened as I have not been able to find any validation of these issues, as they are being brushed off as “normal”. - based on my symptoms, I believe it’s stage II-III endo and involves my bowel. I am also worried for my future fertility if no action is taken. My most recent pelvic ultrasound made the technicians jaw drop because of how large the cyst on my right ovary was. My next GYN appt is in mid-May, but I’m not sure if it needs to be moved up or if these symptoms warrant a diagnostic surgery as I am new to all this. Please help! Thanks!

2023.03.20 20:55 IError413 Planning for a 2-3 day water outage (options for temporary water)
Pretty basic advice request here I think...
Our home water system will be out of commission for 1-3 days while we remove a deteriorating outdoor system and tie the home back into a new system. All parts are already purchased and as much work as can be done before shutting off the water, is done / installed.
There's allot of logistics here. I can't be without water for more than about 8 hours before stuff starts die, wife and kids all go crazy etc. Our initial idea was that we could simply tie into a neighbors system by running a garden hose from their system / well, over 600ft away, and connect it to our house. However, I'd like to avoid inconveniencing my neighbor who I don't know that well. Also, i'm concerned that over 600ft of 3/4 garden hose might drop from 60psi, to 20psi by the time it's connected to the manifold at my house. Would a simple surface pump work for a few days? 5GPM is all we need to get by for a few days. Do I need a surface pump with an integrated pressure switch or do we just have something we leave on / dead heading? I don't know how these pumps typically work. or, can we buy what a lot of people are calling a "boost" pump? My thinking is we just dump a garden hose or poly pipe down the well for a few days to run the pump and hook it up to one of our frost frees on the house or directly to our manifold in our water closet.
Current system: 35ft deep well, 8" steel casing 1" drop pipe + pitless 1/2 HP submersible at 32ft approx 100ft of 1" buried poly to a concrete pit Concrete pit, with a rusty pressure tank, controller (single phase) Out of pit to house in 200ft of 200lb poly buried at 6ft. Home has a standard manifold + 10gal pressure tank (for use with future system)
Future system: Same well + casing 2" drop pipe + pitless 100ft of 1" line will be replaced with 2", 200lb poly 2.5HP Submersible, Variable speed, 3 phase with controller in the house Concrete pit will remain but everything comes out except for a replacement irrigation manifold to tie in 2" camlock, lay flat hose

2023.03.20 20:52 Mission-Art-2383 Advice on which SDR position to take!
Hey all,
Would appreciate some feedback on selecting a job between two options as my first tech sales position.
First is in public affairs management. They've been around a decent amount of time and have a very structured 2 year training plan with lots of education and oversight. tons of different solutions- much more complex sales cycle im guessing.
Second is a insurance management tech company. Pretty new and just ramping first SDRs because they have so many leads they only needed AE's before now. I'm thinking if I'm halfway decent I could likely exceed quota here pretty quickly given its breaking into an industry and has shown exponential growth.
Base is similar startup is slightly higher. OTE steeply higher for the startup. Curious if most people would think it's insane to go with the startup instead of a more well established company with training culture.
Would love to discuss a bit more specifics if anyone is open to messaging.

2023.03.20 20:51 Khenal Dungeon Life 102
I spend much of my morning watching Coda and my ratlings working on Rocky’s ring, though I do check in on Violet, too. I’m trying to not get impatient and rush her, especially after Rezlar saying I’ve been growing way faster than other dungeons.
She’s actually sending centipede expeditions to scout the area before she expands, being cautious. To be fair, I don’t know what will happen with the scythemaw eggs in the area when she expands. They scythemaws proper are delvers, so would they become Residents? Dwellers? Delvers? I think Tarl said the townsfolk would become Residents if I expanded… or did he say Dwellers? I’d think Dwellers, since Residents seem a bit more connected.
Violet doesn’t seem too concerned about them, though, and seems more like someone looking to buy a house, and wanting to make sure they don’t discover the pipes are garbage or something. Whatever the eggs do, I just have to be patient and not push her too hard. She’ll get there.
Around noon, I feel familiar feet, with an unfamiliar set joining them. I smile to myself as I see Freddie and Rhonda, along with Fiona and Lucas, as well as an elf who feels familiar, but I can’t quite place him. I don’t need to send Teemo to go say hi, as he’s already on his way.
The kids are looking eager to do some delving, while the new elf is looking a bit nervous, but doing his best to hide it as Rhonda points at the porch.
“And there’s the notice board and the quests from the aranea!”
“We should get a quest. It’ll be a good way to help him get used to how Thedeim works,” points out Freddie. Teemo walks out from under the porch and grins as he sees the new elf.
“You guys snagged a newbie, eh?”
The kids look a little confused at the term, and the elf blushes a bit in embarrassment, so Teemo continues. “Nothing wrong with it. Everyone has to start somewhere. And with these two, you’ll be just fine.”
“He’ll be a great help to us, too,” points out Freddie. “He’s a fencer. We’ve been missing a good damage dealer.”
“Could have fooled me and the Boss. You kids can pull out some serious hurt when you need to.”
Rhonda waves that off. “We have to do a team up attack to do most of that kind of stuff. I only beat Rocky that one time because I tripped him up and basically made him hit himself.”
The elf’s eyes widen at that, as does Teemo’s grin. “You think the new guy could go toe to toe with Rocky?”
Freddie and Rhonda exchange a look, before Freddie shrugs. “We haven’t really seen him in action yet. I think the three of us together could at least give him a proper challenge.”
Teemo is definitely enjoying the poor elf’s misery at that idea. “What’s your name, anyway? Sorry about talking about you like you’re not here. Freddie, Rhonda, Lucas and Fiona are friends of Thedeim, and any friend of theirs is a friend of his.”
He looks even more terrified at that thought, but Rhonda and Freddie smile and motion for him to introduce himself, so he tries to steel his courage. “I’m Re- er… Larrez. Uh… just Larrez,” he manages, tripping over his words a bit.
Teemo eases up on him a bit at that and nods. “I’m Teemo, Thedeim’s Voice. Just Teemo’s fine, heh. Anyway, you kids were looking for a quest?” he asks of the whole group, and everyone, even Larrez, nods. “There should be one to do something down in Violet. You kids could take that one and take the long way. You know, show him the ropes and what all the Boss has to offer, maybe introduce him to a few of the other scions.”
“Is Rocky available for a sparring match?” asks Freddie, clearly wanting to actually test if he’s right about how they’ll fare.
“Eh… kinda. The Boss is working on a new arena for him. The big lug won’t say no, of course, but he might be a bit distracted by the call of his new ring.”
Freddie looks interested at that, and Rhonda speaks up. “Maybe we’ll just stop by to say hello, then. I’d love to learn more magic from him, too, but I wouldn’t want to interrupt.”
Teemo shrugs. “I don’t think he’ll mind if you drop in. Anyway, I’ll let you get to it. It was nice to meet you for the first time, Larrez. Just take it slow and learn to work together, and you’ll all be fine.” Larrez pales at Teemo’s exit, which makes me certain I’ve seen him before, but I still can’t place him. Teemo chuckles as he heads down a shortcut, and I decide to keep watching the young party as they look over the quests.
As they peruse the hanging pieces of wood, Rhonda speaks up. “Oh, this reminds me!” She levels a finger at both Freddie and Larrez. “You two should get a gathering skill!” Larrez looks confused, while Freddie looks thoughtful.
“We probably should, yeah. I don’t think I’m interested in any crafting skills of my own, but gathering could be useful. What do you think, Larrez?”
The elf, still looking a bit uncomfortable after having talked with Teemo, slowly nods. “It… would probably be smart, yes. I do not know if I would be any good at a crafting skill, but gathering is a good way to supplement adventuring income.” He gets a little more confident as he speaks, and I can practically see him reading it out of some book or another on adventuring.
“Anything stick out to you two?” asks Rhonda, excited her suggestion is getting followed through on. Freddie shrugs.
“I think the classic for a paladin would be mining or maybe lumberjacking. I even have an axe. But… neither really sounds that interesting to me. Larrez?”
“Um… I have always been intrigued by mining,” he admits, to the curious looks of his party. After a few moments, he continues. “It just seems… relaxing? Slow and methodical, nobody around to bother you while you work?”
Freddie nods at that. “You could even take up smelting to turn your ore into ingots. It’s not the most glamorous crafting job, but there’s no shortage of demand for metals.”
Larrez looks relieved for the support, and is even bold enough to ask his own question. “And you, Freddie? If not mining or lumberjacking, what gathering skill would you like to pursue?”
Freddie considers as his eyes wander the quests, before he picks one. “Field dressing is interesting. There’s a lot of magic in the herbs Rhonda gathers, but there’s also a lot of stuff in the things we fight, too. If nothing else, most skins and hides are worth something to a tanner. And… maybe cooking as a crafting skill.” He chuckles as he nods to himself, and smirks at Rhonda. “If we’re going to be a party,
someone should learn to cook. Alchemy doesn’t count.”
She sticks her tongue out at him. “Alchemy soup totally counts,” she says with mock seriousness, before giggling and not arguing the point. She grabs a quest plaque to gather mushrooms in Violet, and Freddie shows his to skin three cave bunnies.
“How about you? Violet doesn’t have any mining nodes… I think, but Thedeim has ones all over in the tunnels and caverns,” says the goblin.
“I… do not have a pick,” admits the elf, but Rhonda doesn’t accept that excuse.
“We can get one from a ratling. Or, if they don’t want to let us have one, you can use your water affinity to erode the rock and get some ore, right?”
“...in theory?”
“Great! Then grab a mining quest, and we’ll give you the grand tour of Thedeim!”
He reaches out and takes a quest to mine some tin, then looks confused as he looks over at what the other two accepted. “Why do your quests say Violet?”
“Ah,” says Freddie, realizing they haven’t been explaining things very well, and motions for Larrez to follow him off the porch. “Violet is another dungeon, one pretty deep down. Thedeim found her and has taken her as his protege.”
His eyes widen in concern. “
Another fast-developing dungeon!?”
Rhonda giggles and shakes her head. “Nah, she’s a lot more mild than Thedeim is, at least as far as Freddie and I can tell. Though she
was kinda stuck behind the scythemaws for a while, so there wasn’t much expanding she could really do anyway.”
“But now the tunnel horrors are gone,” points out Larrez, still looking worried. Freddie smiles.
“Sure, but she’s still young, and Mr Tarl says she’s still acting like it. Thedeim is helping guide her and giving her advice, but if she was like him, she would have expanded as soon as the maws were gone. I’m pretty sure she still hasn’t.”
“She’s also looking like she’ll be a toybox,” points out Rhonda as they round the house and head for the simple herbalism nodes. Her quest might be for mushrooms in Violet, but the simple herbs seem to be a base for a lot of things, so might as well get some on the way.
“A
deep toybox,” emphasizes Freddie. “Apparently, most deep dungeons are belligerent at best. If she keeps this up, the Dungeoneers will probably expand their guild here to ensure she’s safe and happy. The kind of resources she could provide could end up putting Fourdock on the map, even if Thedeim wasn’t here.
With him here…”
Larrez sighs and I finally recognize him as he speaks. “With them both, the Mayor is going to have his hands full.”

2023.03.20 20:51 aowshadow (Spoilers Extended) The Robin Ryger/Desmond Grell little mystery – potential spoiler for TWOW
To quote an old TV show:
"where in the world is Desmond Grell?" Tldr – here’s who Robin Ryger and Desmond Grell are; where we will probably see then in TWOW; why they have some degree of importance.
Quick reminder about the two characters
Robin Ryger worked for Robb during the Five Kings War.
Not only he’s the one who escorted Cleos Frey. He’s also a very useful tertiary character, because GRRM uses him to “break the ice” between Jaime and the readers when he allows the Kingslayer to display his proverbial sense of humor in early ASOS:
In his day Ser Robin Ryger had been a notably tenacious fighter, but his day was done; he was of an age with Hoster Tully, and had grown old with his lord. When the boats were fifty yards apart, Jaime cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted back over the water. "Come to wish me godspeed, Ser Robin?" "Come to take you back, Kingslayer," Ser Robin Ryger bellowed. "How is it that you've lost your golden hair?" "I hope to blind my enemies with the sheen off my head. It's worked well enough for you."
Little note for those who like analysis: Jaime's humor works only when we are in his POV. Outside of it, more often than not he looks like an asshole because 90% of the POVs that interact with Jaime... hates him!
Guess who are the two obvious exceptions? Of course, you are right. And still, both Cersei and Brienne fail to see his hilarious side most of the time.
GRRM also uses Ryger to break the ice between Jaime and Brienne. Jaime’s ego would never allow him to admit he’s helping someone straight to their faces, so he uses ser Ryger as a convenient excuse.
"You're hard enough to look at with a nose. Besides, I wanted to make the goat say 'thapphireth.'" He chuckled. "A good thing for you I'm such a liar. An honorable man would have told the truth about the Sapphire Isle." "All the same," she said. "I thank you, ser." His hand was throbbing again. He ground his teeth and said, "A Lannister pays his debts. That was for the river, and those rocks you dropped on Robin Ryger."
Desmond Grell is an old knight from Hoster Tully's retinue.
Whenever Edmure leaves Riverrun, be it for battles or marriages, Grell rules in his absence. Noteworthy that whenever a Tully shows up (like the Blackfish in AFFC), he immediately steps aside. He's an old, loyal man.
Notice that both Ryger and Grell have something personal against Jaime: while Ryger was humiliated and sinked in ASOS (thus failing his mission against the Kingslayer), Grell did actually lose his squire because of Jaime.
Beside their possible beef with Jaime and their loyalty to Robb's cause, they have another thing in common: they surrendered to Jaime, but also asked him a very peculiar request.
Two men did not choose to depart with the others. Ser Desmond Grell, Lord Hoster's old master-at-arms, preferred to take the black. So did Ser Robin Ryger, Riverrun's captain of guards. "This castle's been my home for forty years," said Grell. "You say I'm free to go, but where? I'm too old and too stout to make a hedge knight. But men are always welcome at the Wall." "As you wish," said Jaime, though it was a bloody nuisance.
The black vow and Jaime's honorable decision
Jamie takes Riverrun while avoiding a bloodshed, and when the two ask to take the black he complies. Of course, because that's the honorable thing to do.
This is perfectly in line with Jaime's newfound AFFC trajectory (his campaign in the Riverlands is a masterclass as far as peace and honor go, but also a neverending sequence of mistakes for the Lannister’s cause) and what he chooses to do right after is absolutely coherent: he lets them keep their weapons and sends Raff the Sweetling & co. to escort them to Maidenpool.
He allowed them to keep their arms and armor, and assigned a dozen of Gregor Clegane's men to escort the two of them to Maidenpool. The command he gave to Rafford, the one they called the Sweetling. "See to it that the prisoners reach Maidenpool unspoiled," he told the man, "or what Ser Gregor did to the Goat will seem a jolly lark compared to what I'll do to you."
Speaking of Maidenpool, Jaime also sends there Ronnet Connington, with different orders:
Jaime had charged Red Ronnet with the task of delivering Wylis Manderly to Maidenpool, so he would not need to look on him henceforth.
Let’s consider for a second who this three prisoners are: not only the first two are Stark/Tully loyalists to the core, they are also witnesses to the real numbers of the Lannister force. There's a reason why Brynden Tully was comfortable keeping the Riverrun siege until Jaime threatened him with Edmure's life. And guess what? Brynden Tully is still roaming free (more on him later).
But what about Wylis Manderly? Well, do you remember that chilling speech from Titus Andronicus Wyman Manderly? The one that ends with…
I drink with Jared, jape with Symond, promise Rhaegar the hand of my own beloved granddaughter … but never think that means I have forgotten. The north remembers, Lord Davos. The north remembers, and the mummer's farce is almost done. My son is home.
Well, Wylis’ newfound safety is why Wyman’s bloody revenge starts.
But since Wylis reached White Harbor, where in the world are Grell and Ryger?
Tracking down the movements
In ADwD epilogue we know that Randyll Tarly met both parties.
"How many men-at-arms accompanied Ser Ronnet to the city?" Ser Kevan asked. "Twenty," said Lord Randyll Tarly, "and most of them Gregor Clegane's old lot. Your nephew Jaime gave them to Connington. To rid himself of them, I'd wager. They had not been in Maidenpool a day before one killed a man and another was accused of rape. I had to hang the one and geld the other. If it were up to me, I would send them all to the Night's Watch, and Connington with them. The Wall is where such scum belong."
But then, in TWOW Mercy, we know that Raff the Sweetling moved from Maidenpool to Braavos to guard Harys Swyft. This means that his escort mission was over.
This opens up for few possibilities. Ryger and Grell (from now on G, for brevity) could only end up with one of four options:
- Case 1: reach the NW by going straight to Eastwatch by the sea.
Given Davos' mentions about tempests and Cotter Pyke’s letter about dead things in the water, chances are G are dead. I find it very unlikely, both on a narrative level (who would waste a ship to go to Eastwatch by the Sea just for 2 passengers? This is nothing like Stannis’ case!) and on a meta level (after 5 books I can safely tell you: GRRM doesn’t work that way)
- Case 2: Raff & co. killed them.
This would be my 100% go to option... if only Jaime hadn’t explicitly warned Raff against doing that.
Jaime's a hundred things, but he's not a windbag: he talks the talk, but also walks the walk. Raff’s a hundred of horrible things, but he's not completely stupid. If there’s one thing that Jaime never lost through the entirety of Asoiaf, is the credibility of his threats.
And again, if G were dead I bet Raff would have mentioned it with some joke in the Mercy spoilers.
- Case 3: they took the Kingsroad, and then went for Winterfell.
But in that case, who escorted them? Raff's in Braavos.
- Case 4, most likely: they travelled with Wylis Manderly.
Which means they are now at Winterfell. It couldn't be any other way, Winterfell is in the middle of the safest road to reach the Wall. For the Stark sympathizers, this means huge info. As we all remember, there's a conspiracy going on against those who betrayed Robb Stark...
And to top it all, Wyman Manderly already proved that he has some info he kept for himself (see: ADWD Davos IV)
Funny thing is, even if G were serious about their vow to go to the Wall, they would be stuck with Manderly anyways: climate conditions don’t allow them to leave Winterfell in any case!
Why does it matter?
Because now we have a potential link between the North (Manderly & co.) and the Riverlands (Brynden Tully, and possibly the BWB, if the theories of Brynden coming in contact with them will prove to be true).
Jaime's doing the honorable thing, once again, is risking to harm back the Lannister cause.
Thanks for reading.

2023.03.20 20:50 Signal_Level1535 After what happened last night i will never finish or play these games again!
Rewind the story a little bit. i missed like 10 years of gaming before 2019 because a long string of horrible life decisions and addiction. Before that i mostly played halo and gta religously for that time period. So Recently ive been going back to revisit and play games that i either missed or only played a handful of times. i ran through destiny 1 and 2 for a few years, red dead 1 and 2, Completed the main campaign of the witcher 3 still working on the expansions bought all 4 borderlands games upto b3, ran through the first one, started the second, play forza 5 weekly, bought valves orange box completed portal 1 and 2, a few others and completed some other small games like the stanely parable. At some point i bought all 3 bioshock remasters. well recently i was playing the first one and really enjoying and starting to get into it. one day i played for like 9 hours and my game crashed and none of the saves actually saved! i was pissed but i went to bed and tried again the next night. well after 3 hours of playing the game crashed again same thing. i said fuck it went straight to bed mad as hell. the next night i gave it one more try and no suprise it fucking crashed again after a hour or so. i went ahead and started the second bioshock. Everything went smooth. i played a hour or 2 and went to bed. soon as friday rolled around i dumped 7 or 8 hours into the game. i was on the level with the slot machines and did a save and load trick till i maxed my money out at 8 hundred just to give me a little boost. i continued playing for like 5 or 6 hours really taking in the scenery, finding everything to loot and grinding my character up. wasnt really rushing through the game as fast as possible. i wanted to take everything in. Well you already know what happened. ding ding ding the game crashed. Shit made me so angry i could of drop kicked my tv and layed a turd on my console. i will never ever ever touch those fucking games again.🤬🖕🏻🖕🏻 if bioshock 3 crashes and dosnt actually save i will lose my shit like mel gibson in south park!

Buster Murdaugh made his first public statement on the death of his high school classmate Stephen Smith, telling NBC News in an exclusive statement he denies having any involvement in Smith's death in 2015.
“I have tried my best to ignore the vicious rumors about my involvement in Stephen Smith’s tragic death that continue to be published in the media as I grieve over the brutal murders of my mother and brother," Murdaugh said. "I love them so much and miss them terribly."
"I haven’t spoken up until now because I want to live in private while I cope with their deaths and my father’s incarceration," he continued.
Murdaugh's father, Alex Murdaugh, was
convicted and sentenced to life in prison for murdering his wife Maggie Murdaugh and youngest son Paul Murdaugh, putting a spotlight on the powerful family in South Carolina's Lowcountry.
Murdaugh said he has been "targeted and harassed" by the media and followers of his family's story, both before and since his father's trial.
"This has gone on far too long. These baseless rumors of my involvement with Stephen and his death are false," he said. "I unequivocally deny any involvement in his death, and my heart goes out to the Smith family."
Murdaugh also asked for the media to "immediately stop publishing these defamatory comments and rumors."
Smith was found dead in July 2015 on a rural road about 15 miles from one of the Murdaugh family properties in Hampton County, South Carolina. An autopsy report determined he had been struck by a vehicle,
NBC News reported.
Smith was found with a "defensive wound" on his hand, according to an investigator's report
obtained by The Island Packet. No glass or debris from a vehicle was found near Smith's body or in the immediate area, The Island Packet reported.
Smith's mother, Sandy Smith,
told TODAY she believes state investigators' findings may have been wrong, and that someone murdered her son and staged it to look like an accident.
"As a mother there’s questions that I need to ask and there’s questions I need answers to," she said.
Smith's case has received renewed attention, along with other deaths with ties to the Murdaugh family, following Alex Murdaugh's trial and a recent Netflix documentary, "Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal."
Sandy Smith said she doesn't know who is responsible for her son's death, but that
she will use money raised from a crowdfunding effort to exhume his body so an independent autopsy can be performed.
She said she hopes for peace, not closure in her son's death. "It’ll never be closed because he’s forever gone," she said.
Authorities reopened Smith's case after the deaths of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh "based upon information gathered during the course of the double murder investigation," S.C. Law Enforcement Division spokesperson Tommy Crosby
said in a June 2021 statement.
SLED said in a statement on March 17 it had "made progress" in its investigation into Smith’s death and that it "remains active and ongoing."
No member of the Murdaugh family has been named as a suspect in Smith's case.
