After several calls totally at least 15 hours, the IDR plan I had been on for nearly 9 years (until incorrectly canceled by Mohela in November) has been reinstated. They have the correct amount due. They even processed my updated employer certification (correctly). I have a the option of selecting my IDR plan details from the Repayment Options drop down. They have a renewal date of 12/7/2023 which seems to be arbitrarily chosen. Assuming payments restart Aug 31, my renewal date doesn’t matter because Jan 2024 is my last payment.
For anyone in my situation, the last communication I had with Mohela stated that they needed to have my account reset by the Dept of Education. If anyone ever actually follows up with me I will ask for the exact process that took place in order to correct the issue.

My 4a is getting closer to being replaced by a newer phone. I'll miss the smaller form factor of the 4a and the rear fingerprint sensor, but I'm a pretty low frills user and the 6a should be fine as daily for me. The 6a has been on sale again for $299 as of late. Will it go even lower if there's sufficient inventory once the 7a goes on sale later this year?

I know the book “Attached” says this, and I’ll tell you why I don’t agree.
Normally a lurker but as an AP who had a (pretty) happy marriage to an avoidant, I thought I’d say something.

1. That’s hard to nearly impossible for most AP’s over mid 20s. As the book says, secures settle down early and stay with their partners. Some divorce and are widowed, but those traumatic life events also give people baggage that changes their style, so they may look AP or avoidant.

1b. I’m dating other divorcée’s rn, and let me tell ya, even the more “secure” ones have plenty of issues that can trigger an AP, especially wanting to move very very slow with making a commitment after divorce. That can look like avoidance.

1. Secures and AP’s are not often attracted to each other. People pick up subtle cues of style even on dating app pictures. It’s a tough way of dating to write off everyone who is…interested in you as not even an option.
   
2. You’re gonna get in a relationship with someone whose life you relate to. A secure person who hasn’t had your trauma level may just not understand you. And you may not understand them. Not saying it’s a lost cause but if you look for only secures, you’ll be waiting a while.
   
3. Secure people tend to lean either anxious or avoidant, and the avoidant leaning ones you will almost certainly be attracted to will become more avoidant if you’re anxious. So they are often misidentified as avoidant. You’re still in the push/pull dynamic if you don’t heal yourself.
   
4. I’ve dated people of all styles, and ALL of them go through times of business, grief, depression. If you don’t have the fundamental tools to regulate when you’re partner is distant sometimes, you can sabatoge any relationship.
   

It’s fine if you want to hold out for a securely attached person. You may be waiting a long time. If you want a secure person you have something in common with, you’ll be waiting longer.
Imo much better choice for AP’s is to develop enough comfort that you are willing to be single for months, years, potentially your life if that’s how long it takes to meet a partner who TREATS you well. That could honestly be a person of any style.
And it’s possible that person will still be kind of avoidant. For most AP’s, that is the case.

So I'm building a PC for the first time and would appreciate any comments on my part list, linked below (sorry if the formatting goes crazy, first time posting).
Mainly to be used for gaming as a priority, already have a Dell S3222DGM, so won't be going above 1440p.
Looks like I'll need to upgrade the BIOS on the motherboard to get it to work with the 12400F, but I think that is doable without a CPU on the MSI Pro B660M-A (WiFi version is cheaper than the non-WiFi version at time of posting). Does anyone have any experience of this or could confirm that it is possible, as I don't have another CPU to do it with.
I've done a bit of research on the CPU, motherboard and GPU, the rest is just cheap as possible at the moment, and changes depending on what PCPartPicker is recommending.
I'm in the UK for any price comparisons, and aiming for around £950 total.
Any comments on suitability, compatibility of parts, or foolish things I've overlooked would be great.

(...or any other positive emotion.)
One benefit that surprised me, at the very beginning of my therapeutic-ketamine journey, was the surge of confidence. I had struggled with this for as I could remember, often faking it, swinging back and forth in self esteem -- lots of social anxiety, etc.
I could feel this surge of confidence within the ketamine state. I could experience it, get to know it, learn it. It isn't always easy to carry something positive out of the psychedelic journey and into everyday life, and of course that was my goal -- to carry that awesome confidence out beyond the ketamine session into my life!
I'm still working on this (the pendulum still swings, though with lesser amplitude) -- Here's what I've learned.
Building Confidence Using the Ketamine Trip
1) Build awareness of your body.
Not just the obvious aches and pains, but particularly where your emotions show up. When you are angry, where is the clenching, the gripping, the discomfort? ...When you're excited or jealous or anxious or fearful or loving? Where in your body do you feel it?
This alone is a beneficial yoga! When emotions spiral out of control, there is often a feedback process between thoughts and feelings in the body that is below the conscious awareness. Once you become aware of the emotions in the body, it is much easier to let them go with the breath.
2) Learn how your emotions and breath are connected.
When an emotion arises, notice where it manifests in your body and your breath. A good practice is to inhale deeply, as you notice the areas in the body where you feel emotions -- and then exhale long, slow, and complete, as you let that clenching/holding go.
These are general practices that help reduce emotional suffering. Now the specific state of confidence:
3) Become intimate with the feeling of confidence.
There are several ways to go with this -- Try these from top to bottom:
-- Use your imagination to summon the feeling of confidence! (This is how a "method actor" might work.) If you can do this -- If you can feel the confidence in your body, then skip to (4).
-- Use your memory to summon an event/time when you felt confident! Go there in your imagination. Close your eyes and try to make the memory very vivid. If you can feel it in your body, then skip to (4).
-- Empathize with someone else! Is there an athlete or actor or speaker or musician you admire? Find an image or clip where they are clearly manifesting confidence -- and imagine you are them at that moment.
4) Breathe with this feeling and get to know every subtlety.
Close your eyes and scan points up and down your spine (in yoga these places where emotions are felt are called "chakras"). Become a student of the feeling of confidence -- Practice it!
5) Imagine conducting this practice within the ketamine state.
Stoke your intention, build your motivation! Every time you perform the practice of summoning confidence and turning inward, to really get to know the feeling, imagine that you are practicing during your next ketamine session. Practicing the act of imagination in general is very powerful!
6) Practice within the ketamine state!
Whatever technique you've been using -- remembering, imagining, empathizing -- practice during your session!
If a negative emotion rears up, notice it -- find where it manifests in your body (like you've practiced!). Inhale as you focus on the feelings in your body -- Exhale and let everything go.
In the space -- the pause -- Invite confidence to emerge! Feel it in your body, encourage it to remain. Don't be deterred if thoughts continue to arise -- that's what the thinking mind does! Keep returning your attention to your body and breath, keep breathing and letting go...
And keep summoning confidence, learning how it feels, inviting it to remain, becoming intimate with it...
Make confidence a new habit to replace the old self-downing!

I hope you find this beneficial. These practices are body-mind technologies, many of them derived from yoga -- There is no appeal to faith or authority. It should all make sense! If some particular aspect doesn't make sense, ask me about it.

My ex cheated on me after the first 6 months our relationship, and I found out when we were together for 1.5 years. We lived together, had access to his phone, but before DDay I was clueless that he had a second account on Instagram since our 6 months where he used to chat with some of his ex flings, talk with them, flirt, sextalk, like pictures... There was one girl in particular that he used to talk almost everyday, they were friends before he met me, and they had sex a couple of times but she was married and the guy was one of his friends, and later he admitted to me that he was in love with her before we met, but they couldn't be together because she was married.
So I was in total shook when I read the whole chat with her, they were talking for almost 7 months, he complained about me, about our fights, how he wished he was with her, how he misses her body, even paid her to send him some naked pictures and she did. She said he wanted to go to a motel with her, do a threesome w/ her and me (also said to her was too jealous and would never accept that, that I dont understand the difference between love and just sex). She is blonde, and at the same time he was messaging her, one day he asked to dye my hair blond. That was when I felt things were off. At some point near Dday, he sent her a huge text declaring himself to her, our relationship was already rocky at this point, he was cold, distant, rude, and when I saw all those compliments and heartfelt messages my heart dropped to the ground and I couldn't breathe. He was sleeping next to me and I woke him up, at first he denied everything, only admitted when I showed him the messages. He claimed he THOUGHT he was in love with her still, but I am the one he loved, but also said he wanted to break up with me for a while but didn't have the courage so he did that, etc. He claimed he never met her in person or the other girls he messaged, it was just messages. There was a lot of crying from me and he seemed unaffected. I told him to leave my house so he went to live with his father, and we broke up. After he left I found out his password to his account and logged on my phone and são he sent messages to her, the night of our break up, he said I found out and he was relieved and a weight fell of his shoulders now that we were over. It was sincerely the worst days of my life. I couldn't accept what he did so I ugly cried to him on the phone asking why, then a few days later I decided to block him everywhere.
A few weeks later he found a way to message me and we started talking, I was still really low and missing him. He said he was sorry and etc, he realized he loved me and wanted to try things over from the start. He would never do that again and he blocked her. I was blind and sad at the time, with 0 self steem, so I accepted. Well, since then I was never the same. I have very low self steem, I was paranoid, insecure, jealous, and he was always short of patience so he was sometimes rude and insensitive. It caused us a lot of fights and arguments. I also found out he watched a lot of porn behind my back, I found out after we got back, he promised to stop and seemingly he stopped. I checked everything, I started to live his life instead of mine. It was truly sad and I was very unhappy but I was/am trauma bonded and when we were apart I couldn't function. We stayed together for more 1.5 years, but on and off a lot of the time, because of the many fights we had.
So in total we were together for 3 years, and he recently dumped me after a fight where he was very drunk, said a lot of hateful stuff to me, he left my house and crashed his car. The day after this he admitted to have a drinking problem, said he would seek help and he started going to church. In a span of 2 weeks this man turned in to someone else, he started reading the Bible, going to church 3x a week, and when he dumped me, he said I should seek God and pray. He claims God has forgave him for all that he did, and he would never do the things he did before. Consume porn, cheat and drink alcohol/do drugs. He claimed he wanted to have a family, a job, children, and couldnt see it with me. That I will drag him down. He said he will change for next, and I think about that a lot, because as far as I know, he never cheated again after DDay, stopped watching porn, or he just hid it better. The only problem was that he used to drink every weekend and A LOT, also use drugs, and he used to get aggressive and we would fight.
I'm sorry for the long text, I just want to know if he can change for real, specially now that he is being religious, he seems for real, I'm feeling sad and worthless that I am not the one he would change for. I am still recovering from the BU and trying to love myself and recover my self steem.

Hello, fellow coffee snobs,
I calculated the price of our daily caffeine (200mg minimum, 2 cups per day) via different methods

1. Caffeine pills :- 5 rs/day (1 pill 1/2, 2 time a day) This one
   
2. Instant coffee:- This one
   

A. With milk :- 40 or 52 rs/day (2 cups)
200ml low fat milk ( amul taza) + 3 gm or 5 gm coffee + sugar (10.5 + 8.5 or 14.5 + 1 = 20 or 26 )
B. With water :- 17 or 29 rs/day ( 2 cups)

1. Speciality coffee

Now first thing about accessories that need to make it...
==>> Now Most praised and used equipments in this sub (imo) are :-

1. V60 with 1 year worth paper filters ( hario white v2 ) :- 467 + 1512 (420 x 3.6) = 1979
   
2. Aeropress :- 3200
   
3. KaldiPress / Desi aeropress :- 1500
   

4.French press :- from 500 to 2000 ( above one is example)

1. South Indian filter coffee maker :- from 300 to 1400 ( not mentioning aramse one)
   
2. Moka pot :- from 600 to 8000
   

Not going to talk about espresso machine cause don't know much about it and don't care to research about it right now.
===>> Now weight scale :-
A. Hoffen :- 1400
B. Instacuppa :- 2000
C. Hario :- 11000 ( price has some drip man..)
===>> Now gooseneck kettle :-
A. Instacuppa :- 2500
B. Agaro :- 3600
===>>> Coffee Grinders :-
A. Timemore chestnut c2 :- 4300
You can use blade grinder ( normal spice grinder at home) if you can't afford above one watch James Hoffman video about it
===>>> For temprature control freaks :-
buy electric Kettle with inbuilt thermometer
or
buy kitchen Thermometer
Or just eyeball it
===>>> Now all equipment considered
We are going to see from most cheap to most expensive methods (combination of minimum price equipments in each one)

1. If you are a broke (student mostly) snob just chew goddam caffeine pills and study to gain money for later methods
   
2. Instant coffee with water
   
3. South Indian filter coffee with milk ( cause sif coffee powder is cheap than instant one)
   
4. Instant coffee with milk
   
5. V60 x french press with muslin cloth + weight scale :- 467 + 150 + 1400 = 2000
   
6. French press + WS :- 1100 + 1400 = 2500
   
7. Kaldipress + ws :- 1500 + 1400 = 2900
   
8. Moka pot + ws :- 2000 + 1400 = 3400
   
9. Aeropress + ws :- 3200 + 1400 = 4600
   
10. V60 + filter paper (1 year) + ws + gooseneck kettle :- 467 + 1512 + 1400 + 2500 = 5880
    
11. Espresso :- starts from 10k ( wonderchef) to go beyond 1 lac ( don't know much about it)
    

Now this all prices are with pre ground coffee , So add another 4.2 k in all above if you want to add a basic good reliable grinder ( according to this sub) for freshly ground coffee
===>>> Now come to the main point of all above :-
If you drink 2 cups a black coffee per day ( morning and evening) with 14 GM coffee each time so 28 GM per day.
Now you buy speciality coffee by 1 kg at a time So 1000/28 = 35.71 ~36 days
So it will run for 1 month ( for who concern about storage buy beans and vaccum them in small quantities and put in freezer) Here
So if you buy coffee by
A. 1200 per kg :- 33.6 rs per day (for 2 cups ) B. 1300 per kg :- 36.4 " C. 1400 per kg :- 39.2 " D. 1500 per kg :- 42 E. 1600 per kg :- 44.8 F. 1700 per kg :- 47.6 G. 1800 per kg:- 50.4
So you got the point,
Now if you go out to your local shop ( tapri ) they might sell you instant coffee for 25 to 30 rs ( I am guessing here)
Or go to tea post they might sell 40 to 60 RS per cup ( price may very from location to location)
So let's say you drink twice from outside ( tea post let's say 50 rs for 1) it will cost you 100 rs per day for that and it's nowhere near to speciality one which is 50 rs per day
===>>> So who want to enter this hobby or whatever this is
A. Go for SIF if you want milk based coffee
B. For not caring about ethics go with kaldipress + hoffen scale ( under 3 k budget) with pre ground coffee ( try quater First method from u/NotRealHyde)
C.for ethical ones go for aeropress + hoffen scale + timemore c2
D. For kothibangala walas go for espresso...
Now it's my opinion and some minor puns and jokes so don't take it seriously,
any respectful criticism is welcome.

(...or any other positive emotion.)
One benefit that surprised me, at the very beginning of my therapeutic-ketamine journey, was the surge of confidence. I had struggled with this for as I could remember, often faking it, swinging back and forth in self esteem -- lots of social anxiety, etc.

Hello everyone.
I am looking to build a small outdoor sauna and use a Small Kuuma Sauna Stove
6x6 sauna with 6x4 changing area. ( i am curious if 6x5 would also work or considered to be too small.)
I am a bit confused on the best place to put in air vents for intake/exhaust of air.
In some areas it is recommended exhaust to be near the floor bellow the benches, and in other places I read exhaust should be near the ceiling.
Any help as well as critique on the layout is greatly appreciated.

So I was camping for the weekend with friends and we saw a bunch of cows laying near the camp area. They belonged of course to some nearby farmer, they were not wild. Yet I wanted to go pet one or maybe hug one but my friend said it was a bad idea since that could scare them. He was right inasmuch as they flew away as soon as I stepped in their sights but still I wonder, is it wrong to want to approach a cow, or any other animal, knowing I just want to give them some affection, even if I know also that they may be scared of me?
And more generally is distance and absence of interaction the only true way to be "good" to an animal that is scared of humans?

This weapon is one of those, you know? Someone slapped this thing together to make the biggest abomination possible and here it is! It's... a fire hydrant. With some big ass barrels attached to it for the most ink guzzling experience you could possibly have and locking yourself into infinite shooting to infinity and beyond. It's the Hydra Splatling! At least he steamed a good ham.
Whoever came up with this design had a few loose bolts.
WEAPON STATS
Range: 85/100
Charge Speed: 10/100
Mobility: 20/100

SPECIAL NOTES
It's the heavy, but slower...

Sheldon's Description

The Hydra Splatling is designed to impose extreme pressure on your opponents' turf through superior firepower. However, because the weapon takes so long to charge, it's definitely a liability in close quarters. I recommend using your Autobombs to fend off incoming bogeys -- and they can even help reveal far-off opponents who can be splatted from long range! If anyone DOES make it past your defenses, the unwelcome surprises aren't over. This loadout allows you to greet them with a Booyah Bomb! Mi casa is NOT su casa! I recommend this setup for all you homebodies who want to set up camp and never leave -- supporting your team through long-range firepower instead!

Hey, even Sheldon acknowledges how much of a camping bitch all Hydra players are.

Salty Description

"People will go on Saltoon to make angry posts about how they are getting splatted over and over against Hydra Splatlings and swearing on their antecessors on bringing them into this twisted world where backliners rule and judgement is dealt with a heavy fist from the high ground you cannot reach, when, in reality, Hydra Splatling just isn't really viable in a competitive environment, due to the current meta being heavily centered around crab tank, which can easily take them out of position or out right splat them!" - idk someone on youtube probably.
So yeah, the weapon is not great, but that doesn't mean it isn't exactly like the clash blaster where it will acquired a body count larger than Google's project graveyard in pub matches. It charges slowly, it gets easily disrupted if you throw literally anything in it's direction and it can't really fight for itself if you get too close. But does it really mean it's bad? No, not really.
So, firstly, let's get this out of the way. It's a splatling with a looooot of range. It's one of those weapons you see on top of tent in hagglefish and you can't really hit it in most map modes. It's just there... charging up, waiting for you to come close enough to get a lot of ink spread on your face. It shoots really fast and kills quickly as well. It can shred objects with ease. Don't ever try contesting the rainmaker shield when there's one of these shooting at it. So anytime you see this weapon perching in some place you can't reach, you have two options: Throw something in it's direction to have it rage at you for the remainder of the match (Also because your teammates surely won't do it) or try to go through places on the map where it can't reach, which is honestly asking too much for some maps in this game.
The rest of it's kit is actually really good. Autobombs are a nice way to harass people and have an idea of where they are going so you can predict your shots and Booyah Bomb is just one of the best specials in the game? Honestly there isn't much wrong you can do with a kit like this, specially considering that they (supposedly) won't be dying much during this match. Just note that it's particularly shit at painting and even though it's 190p for Booyahs, it won't be getting that many during a match unless you really want a Hydra just going around and painting ground for some fucking reason.
But then we get to the part where "but ackshually it sucks, guise!". Yeah, we get it. When there are people that have more than two braincells playing this game, which is kind of hard to come around, Hydras tend to not have a really good time, since they will spend most of their time losing their charge they took the last 10 seconds to build to some random bomb thrown in their direction or to missiles, booyah, tank... anything, really. Oh yeah, tank just straight up outranges it, btw. I don't really have a way to test it so this will be one of those cases of "just trust me, bro", but I think it's safe to say that Hydras might be able to shred objects quickly, but tanks can just shoot faster and their charging time already has them shooting, so if the hydra player isn't really locked and loaded when this is going down, they won't really have much option but to hide like the small little backline cowards they are.
It doesn't take much to put this weapon out of commission, but good fucking luck with that when the rest of your team is simply running into it's range thinking "I can totally take it down with my Nzap!" and dying over and over. Maybe one day these players will grow past the age of 4 and learn to throw bombs at them around the same time they learn to fit the square block into the square hole.

Last Week: .96 Gal Deco

We have been looking unsucessfully at upgrading our home. However, the last open house we went to reminded me of 2021 (people out the door and even more expensive pricing than 2021/2022).
As a result, i am considering doing a reno. We have a graded property so its a PITA to build/reno with added costs (thus never seriously considered it), but at this point, we are considering it. We dont have anything specific in mind beside needing more space (may need to add a level), possibly expand kitchen. Can GCs give ideas of best ways to build to utilize whats there (and keep minimize expenses) and give ball parks?
Anyone have any active renovation projects going (or possible experience in the local building industry) care to comment on how outrageous costs are (ie: labosupply chain). Im guessing spring is the worse time to hire a contractor, but perhaps the crazy interest rates are scaring off people who need to borrow for their renovations/builds.
Thanks for any input!

I seriously was thinking something like this needed to exist!!! Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You!!
I don’t know if it counts as a return but I was forced to cancel a car they wouldn’t let me have due to it arriving from the delivery/transport vehicle with a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT showing. It was made unavailable for a couple hours and then reposted again for sale. Same price. I didn’t go back and check but I doubt they updated the 150Point Checklist with the issues discovered from the surprise dashboard notification.
I’m going to browse the sub to see if the car I was set to pickup on Sunday was previously returned. There happens to be a 425 mile diff on what Carfax had as the last odometer reading and what Carvana has in the sale listing.
If its not I’ll add details of the listing and the VIN. I have screenshots too.
I’m sooooo happy this exists after reading the many many horror stories. Which yes I read prior to shopping on Carvana. I was hoping I was a part of the 1% that had a legit buying experience with them. Looks like I’m not 😐.

Looking for an online gym buddy someone I can check in with daily to make sure we are both hitting our goals. I started the gym around 5 months ago and have struggled committing to it. I still have a long way to go but have made little progress that I want to build on into the new year and make sure I smash my goals . I still have a long way to go.
I have currently started to commute to work on a bicycle and currently cycle over 10k a day and this is helping me lose weight.
A little bit about me I’m 30 from uk I enjoy video gaming, dungeons and dragons and watching the latest releases at the cinema
I am hoping o can find some long term friends here who we can share progress pictures with each other, hold each other accountable and support one another virtually. Ideally would prefer someone from uk just for time zone differences but happy with anyone from anywhere in the world.
Would also be nice to have a buddy who is into similar things to talk about them when we are not on gym days
If you want to know more please dm me. P.s if your going to delete me and not respond after a day or two please do not bother I am looking for long term commitment

Hey everyone! Two of the schools I am seriously considering right now are Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine and Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. I'm trying to weigh financials, location, and opportunities between these two schools, and would love others' insights/thoughts. I am interested in Internal Medicine/Primary Care, although I do want to keep my options open as I'm sure I could very easily change my mind.
Kaiser:
Pros:
- Full tuition scholarship and $37k annual housing stipend. They extend this to all admitted students. Essentially, I can graduate medical school debt free as I likely won't need loans for housing.
- Location: Pasadena is awesome, and my family/friends all live in California. Have lived in northern california my whole life, and would love to be close to friends and family. Also weather is great there
- Kaiser seems to have a lot of resources and they are willing to spend generously on students (they even give you a new phone and mac book when you matriculate, or so I've heard). It seems like there is a lot of money they have to throw around, and they're more than willing to be generous with students.
- Grading is P/F (unsure about AOA) for preclinical, and tiered grading for clinicals. Pretty chill.
Cons:
- 50 person class, which is a lot smaller than I would ideally like. Just feel like it will limit opportunities to meet new people, find a group that really fits with me, etc.
- Super new school. They haven't had a class match yet and I would be in the 4th class they've ever had. Regardless Kaiser has a lot of resources and influence over here in California, and because of that I'm confident they will set their students up for success and match very well, although at the end of the day no one can really know until they actually match and this scares me a bit.
- Seems like they're still figuring a lot of things out. When I talked to students there, it seems like parts of the curriculum change a bit each year. These changes are based on student feedback, and from what i've heard it seems like theyre very receptive to student feedback in general and work to implement important things that students bring up. At the end of the day though, it seems evident that they have not "perfected" their curriculum and that there is still a lot of work to be done, and that I might find myself in the middle of some of these changes during my time here.
- They only do virtual anatomy, no actual cadavers at any point.
- Kaiser as a healthcare system kind of notoriously sucks/has a bad rep in california. They deliver great healthcare most of the time, but navigating their system itself can be a nightmare for many.
- Driving in LA is a nightmare, although Kaiser says they actually provide free ubers tp/from clincal sites for all students, which is nice.
Mayo (AZ):
Pros:
- Full tuition scholarship, so I would only need to pay for COL. This would likely result in $80,000-$150,000 in living expenses over 4 years. Not to get into too much detail but I have some pretty significant savings/investments and likely wouldn't actually need to take out any loans to cover this, but my savings would be eaten up almost entirely during medical school.
- It's Mayo. Great reputation, great match list, and likely better opportunities possible overall here, especially when it comes to becoming involved with research.
- Scottsdale/Pheonix. Great location too, not quite as close to family and friends but at least it's still on the west coast. I also have a few close friends who live right in Scottsdale. Lots of nature/outdoor activities nearby which is definitely important to me.
- Grading is P/F for preclinical with no AOA and tiered grading for clincal.
Cons:
- 50 person class. Same essentially as noted in Kaiser above.
- Would save 37k/year at kaiser essentially due to their housing stipend.
- Further from family in northern California
- Two campuses. The actual medical school is in Scottsdale, while the hospital is in Pheonix. They're close (~20 min drive), but not attached. They're building a new medical school building in Pheonix which should be done in a day or two, and once it is students will basically be entirely in Pheonix, which is less cool than Scottsdale.
- Weather. Scottsdale/Pheonix is beautiful, but that summer heat will be hard for me. 100++ degrees for weeks/months would be significantly worse than anything I'd have to deal with in Pasadena.
​
Of note, I am also heavily considering UVA at the moment but don't have financial aid yet so I can't really make a super informed decision on that at the moment.

Hi all! Listing a SUPER fun and unique pen today. Pics, verification, and writing sample video here: https://imgur.com/a/tpBkBJL.
For sale is my custom pump piston filler by Horatiu Gutovschi with a soft-broad 14k Pilot Falcon nib that I custom ground to a cursive italic!
Horatiu is a lovely guy out of Romania who's relatively new to the pen making scene, and I bought this new from him about 3 months ago. The section is machined for a standard Bock #6 section, but I added a Flexible Nib Factory housing made to hold a Pilot Falcon nib, and then of course added a Falcon nib that I've ground into a nice crisp cursive italic. This pen writes WET and has the double whammy of an italic and flexible nib, which means you get maximum expressiveness in your writing.
The cap/barrel/blind cap are all made from a wicked multicolored tiger stripe-looking acrylic, while the section is machined from a wonderful olive green acrylic. This pen is basically new, I just rated it a D because of the mods I made. It holds a ton of ink and writes beautifully, I just could use the extra cash so I'm letting it go.
For the custom-made pen, 14k gold Pilot nib, custom grind, FNF nib/feed housing, and tracked/insured CONUS shipping, I'm asking $170 or best offer.
As ever, please message me with questions or offers! Happy writing and stay safe/sane my friends. ♥️

I've been trying to create an Oil Hub - gather all my oil to a single island close to the border of the map in the New World, then send it to another "hub" in the Old World.
The challenge I'm running into is: I've got the "NW/OW back and forth" ships set to wait to load/unload at both hubs. I figured - it would be wasteful to have them make the voyage if they don't fill up all the way (or at all) in the New World. BUT, sometimes they're waiting to load when the NW hub island doesn't have enough oil in storage to actually fill them up. So, all the other ships that "deliver" to the hub are then stuck waiting to deliver. And then the "back and forth" ships also pile up.
The Hub island already has 14 oil spouts available, so they do fill up eventually. But every so often I'll get like five oil tankers queued up waiting to load, in line BEFORE the oil delivery from the other islands, and they sit for a long time.
So far the only solution I've come up with is just.. Producing way more oil than I'm actually using, and throwing even more oil tankers at the routes to smooth things out. There's no way to have multiple "piers" for the oil harbor, right? And then set one to load, one to unload?
Is there a better way to do what I'm doing? No idea how this "hub" system will work once I start building out Crown's Falls, either. Woof!

I live in Toronto, where pits are supposedly banned. Ever since COVID I’ve been seeing more and more of them around.
This past summer, my husband and I moved into a new apartment building; we needed a bigger place because I was pregnant and we wanted more room for our baby.
When I was eight months pregnant, we were in the parking garage and another couple were getting out of their car along with two massive, unleashed pit bulls. One of the dog started running towards me. I have always disliked and been somewhat afraid of pits, so I froze for a moment (I had been about to get in the car and my husband was on the other side of it). The dog jumped on me hard, paws against my pregnant belly, which made me fall back slightly against the car. I shrieked and the dog got excited and ended up biting my leg. This was (thankfully) a bite and release (versus a hold and shake) and it wasn’t a deep bite. The owner had been shouting “he’s friendly” while this went on.
Anyway, when I took off my pants later, there were marks from the dog and I developed a bruise on the area.
Since then I have actively tried to avoid these people and their dogs, and especially so since my daughter was born. When they notice me avoiding them they laugh at me.
The other day I was in the elevator with my baby in her stroller, coming up from the basement parking garage. When we got to the main floor the man and one of his dogs got on. He had been standing right in front of the door, so I didn’t really have the opportunity to get off. The dog was unleashed. It was really excited and whiny, straining against its collar, which it’s owner had grabbed. But a second later the dog barged forward out if it’s owner’s grasp and jumped up onto my baby’s stroller, half pushing me out of the way and nearly toppling her stroller over. He grabbed his beast again and I didn’t know what to say or do.
When I got off of the elevator, he said, “he can tell you’re afraid. It makes him nervous.”
Today I spoke to my landlord about what happened. He didn’t seem to take me seriously. He also doesn’t believe that the dog is a pit bull because “they don’t have those here anymore,” with “here” being our province.
My husband is livid, and wants to confront the dog’s owner, but I feel like that could do more harm than good.
I would appreciate any advice on what to do here. My baby is only six months old and it makes me sick to think what could happen if those things got to her.
